Adam Curry: We used to edit with
a razor blade.
Unknown: Adam curry Jhansi
Devorah
Adam Curry: are they march
9 2023 This Year Award winning
keep on Asian media
assassination episode 1536. This
is no agenda, saving or creating
lives twice a week and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here
in Cedar Ridge and number six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
John C Dvorak: from Northern
Silicon Valley where the
atmospheric river is back. I'm
Jesse Devorah.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. I
didn't get any news reports
about that. Are you are you
drowning again? Over there?
John C Dvorak: Supposedly this
afternoon? Oh, so
Adam Curry: it hasn't happened
yet.
John C Dvorak: Supposedly this
afternoon, we're gonna get four
inches.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's a lot.
That's a lot for California.
John C Dvorak: You could get
anything. It's always bull crap.
Oh, you mean
Adam Curry: mean? Well, how
about LA? It's always fun when
they gets a four inches. Well,
they
John C Dvorak: Yeah. washes out
to see much don't even bother
with cisterns or reservoirs or
anything. They just tell it.
Yeah. Did they bitch? Yeah. I
think it's time that we all
decided that let's give up on
this specially in California on
this problem with the homeless
and just give developers some
land and let developers let the
shanty towns crop up. Usually
outside the airports a good
place.
Adam Curry: Where's this coming
from? Well, how did we get how
do we get from, from the
atmospheric river to the
homeless favelas,
John C Dvorak: because he's this
river is going to knock these
homeless tents down.
Unknown: You're the worst.
John C Dvorak: You're the worst.
May the worst?
Adam Curry: You won't be one
people who are unhoused to drown
and be washed out to sea.
John C Dvorak: No, I don't want
him to die. That's what I'm
saying. That's where we have to
give him some land. Create a
shanty town usually outside the
airports a good place because
nobody ever wants to be in the
you know where the airport is?
Oh, of course. So give me you
know, surround the airport with
shanty towns in California. Let
them build their own thing.
They're very real. A lot of them
are architects out of business.
You know, unemployed architects
they can they can help.
Unknown: I'm sure. I'm sure they
are.
Adam Curry: Speaking of
homeless, Tina and I went to
Austin last night to East Sixth
Street, also known as dirty six.
And we're stepping over homeless
people on a two block walk from
the parking garage to Joe
Rogan's comedy mothership, his
new club that he just opened.
John C Dvorak: Did you get
comped?
Adam Curry: Did I get comped Oh
my goodness. We I mean, there's
one thing I know about Joe
Rogan. He likes hospitality.
John C Dvorak: So when we got a
bottle of champagne, then
Adam Curry: no, no, hold on a
second. We got immediately
picked up at the minute we
showed up at the door, you know,
people assuring us in taking and
I knew a number of the people
who work there because he is
like his bodyguard team or
whatever. No, I mean, really?
VIP all the way. special VIP
balcony free drinks with someone
who would come and serve us the
whole time. So we weren't just
sitting in the club. No, we are.
We are VIP at the top. So it's
more than
John C Dvorak: just so you
weren't mingling with the
peasants? Oh, no,
Adam Curry: no, no, no. In fact,
there are two balconies. And I
look over to the right and guess
who's sitting over there with
his wife? You'll never guess.
John C Dvorak: But give it a
shot. Abbott
Adam Curry: Alex Jones.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's cool.
Adam Curry: So we went over. We
went over we said hi to him.
He's like Hey, man. Hey, don't
believe half of the shit you
hear. Is it bullshit? It's not
true. Alex dude is mes Okay? All
right. Yeah, but talk a lot of
shit about me when you're coming
back on. His did
John C Dvorak: did Rogan do a
set?
Adam Curry: Yes, he did. He
closed out the whole night. We
didn't get we didn't get home
until well after one o'clock.
Now because Joe probably went
until 1115. And and then right
away, he we were like, Okay,
well, we'll leave we walk off
the balcony. He's right there.
Hey, come on. Let's go sit down
in the green room. And then they
have another special bar inside
this place, which is called
Mitzi Mitch these bar which is
named after Mitzi from the
Comedy Store. In fact, half I
think most of the staff he took
from Los Angeles brought them in
the Comedy Store staff. So these
people know how to run a comedy
club and it was packed 250
people I think, in the old rich
theater. It was it was really I
was very impressed, looks
amazing inside. And they woke
comedy, anti woke comedy, all of
it. all heard, it was kind of
interesting, a little bit down
the middle. But if you just want
to feel like anybody woke or not
woke could sit in that audience
because there's no cell phones
or they lock up your cell
phones. So you can't be
recording anything and can't get
anything out there, by the way.
So we're talking to Alex Jones.
He's like, Oh, man, it's great.
Roseanne was here last night and
I had her on the show this
afternoon. She's great. She
lives out there in
Fredericksburg near you and she
loves you. She's a big fan. Big
fan. Like what's Roseanne Barr
is a big fan and lives in
Fredericksburg. Yeah. Like,
well, that's interesting.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, consider
we've never seen a donation from
her.
Adam Curry: Well, here's, here's
what happened next. So before
the show, we're before
everything starts. We're
chatting with Joe. He's giving
us a little tour. And I guess
Roseanne had performed last
night, which was really the
first night but it was kind of
like a soft launch to get
everything figured out how
everything works and staff to to
get used to stuff. And so she
performed. And so we're talking
and she shuffles shuffles up to
him. By the way. Roseanne Barr
is tiny. Have you ever met her?
I can't say that I have no, I
would say she's not even five
feet. Which it was really weird.
You know, you see, Roseanne you
just think she's like 511 You
know, I don't know, it was very
surprising. And so she's like,
Hey, she's talking to Joe and
Joe Joe said this is Adam curry
and Tina curry. And she turns to
me has no idea who I am. So, so
much for the big so much for
being a big fan but here's the
embarrassing moment. So I
reached out to shake her hand
and she is like you know like
you like you miss grasp and
she's like shaking my my wrist.
And I like try to pull back to
shake her hand she had no now
this is how I shake hands. So
she takes wrists. It was
embarrassing kind of you know,
she
John C Dvorak: may have had that
an ailment I once had which is a
handshake a bit politicians pick
it up as though it's a
tendinitis in the very bottom of
your palm. Oh, the painful
Adam Curry: okay, because all I
could think of as Wow,
John C Dvorak: does that mean
that that's not uncommon to
catch especially if you I don't
know. I got it when I was in air
pollution inspector was shaking
too many hands, I guess. And
Adam Curry: taking bribes.
John C Dvorak: Passengers
shaking hands is different than
taking bribes. Okay, I thought
he's the other hand for that.
Adam Curry: Okay. I got it. I
got it.
John C Dvorak: You want you to
pick this little ailment up? It
is ridiculously painful. It
takes about six months to get
rid of it.
Adam Curry: Well, anyway, I
thought it was like oh, like a
Howie Mandel thing. All right.
Anyway, so then she did she did
not perform and I like I look at
Tina were like she had no idea
who I am she no fan. I don't
even know she lives out here in
Fredericksburg. Now I have to
doubt everything.
John C Dvorak: So what was it
that gave you the bumpsteer?
Adam Curry: It Alex Alex Joni
JONES Yeah, we had her on the
John C Dvorak: show believe
everything he's saying.
Adam Curry: So then we're
sitting there and you know, we
got a little table there and it
would be fantastic view and
behind me all I hear is hey, who
was? Oh man, who
John C Dvorak: was who? No, I'm
Adam Curry: asking you who do
you think that was? Man, you're
being just you need to. Okay,
back in the day when we used to
start the show. You would take
the damn thing off the hook.
Now. I usually do now. That
happened last show too. And I
think it never happens on
Sunday. Seeing us It's a
Thursday. It happened on the
last show. It did happen on the
last show.
John C Dvorak: It happened maybe
on the last Thursday show. So
let's get back to the story.
That phone stopped ringing
Adam Curry: So behind me the
whole evening while people
aren't sad Yeah.
John C Dvorak: How many late
Wait, wait how many layers
deepest the balcony to?
Adam Curry: I mean? Yeah, like
we were in the front and the
person may even have been
standing. I don't know if the
person had a had a seat because
I didn't want to look around
like it was it'd be completely
quiet in the club and the
comedian saying something and
then you would say Hey, Tina can
do it better than I can. The
Dick Cheney No, it was Roseanne
Barr the whole time. She was
funny. The most annoying chuckle
you've ever heard. Truly, truly
insane. And yeah, she
John C Dvorak: does the same
chuckle on her show.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but I've never
I've never it was jarring kind
of, you know, just like is one
of those if I was in a movie
theater, I would have turned
around said could you shut up
but I knew that it was going to
be someone of some standing but
I it was all it was as annoying
to me. As I when I flew phone
ringing not well no, not quite
when I flew on the Concorde. Oh,
here we go and back in the, in
the good old days when there was
Concorde to be handed out, and I
and it was the first time I flew
on Concorde and I was from
London to New York City. And
Liza Minnelli was behind me
drunk.
John C Dvorak: Oh god. Yeah,
yeah. But I repeat myself.
Adam Curry: So I'm sorry to say
but I if you want me to prove it
to you literally I have the
transcript here. The phone rang
on Sunday, just so you know it
on Sunday. Yeah, the last show
1535 Eight routes?
John C Dvorak: I don't remember
reading it on Sunday. Yeah. And
Adam Curry: we even talked about
the robot voice and the police.
The Police Benevolent Society.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, I know
about talking about that. But we
didn't
Adam Curry: it didn't come out
of the blue. Okay, I didn't know
John C Dvorak: it came out of
the our typical AI conversation.
All right, fine. So it says a
transcript of the phone ring.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's um, we're
talking about the phone. I just
clicked it away. Trust me. Trust
me. No. Well, trust me on this.
I'm, we have to stop the
vasectomy talk. And I'm getting
too much grief.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I you know, I
was gonna maybe bring it up,
which is yeah, I'm sorry that I
don't find I don't think it's a
negative thing necessarily. Oh,
people
Adam Curry: are like, Hey, man.
Hey, man. Pump the brakes on the
on the vasectomy talk. Okay.
Even my
John C Dvorak: period, I think
probably half of our audience
has had a vasectomy.
Adam Curry: I think so too.
John C Dvorak: I think so.
Adam Curry: It's really bizarre
here would admit my periodontist
say he said, I'm just listening
to the show is great. I don't
appreciate you making fun of my
vasectomy face.
John C Dvorak: Right. Oh, no,
you I guess the art didn't help.
Adam Curry: So no, no. So I sent
him a lot of scissor emojis. And
he says, By the way, it helps
accentuate my soft skin and
plump body. So he at least got
the joke. But yeah, there's I am
surprised. I think during COVID,
you know, people, some it has
something to do with COVID.
Because we've been talking about
vasectomy face for years and
years and years. And now all of
a sudden, people are all pissed
off about it. So I think that
Well, that's
John C Dvorak: interesting.
You're right. We have been
talking about this for probably
since the inception of the show,
maybe
Adam Curry: even Yeah, maybe.
Maybe.
John C Dvorak: So why now? Well,
I don't think the art helped.
Thank you, Roger. I don't think
the art help.
Adam Curry: I think the art was
dying. was absolutely my, my
favorite. I loved it. I loved
it. It was so good.
John C Dvorak: But yeah, they
were getting sensitive. I wonder
what what, there's some element
or something happening. Okay,
onward with the show.
Adam Curry: Oh, this is all part
of the show. All right. Well,
let's talk about how right I am.
How about that. Should we do
that? I like talking about
that's
John C Dvorak: what you want to
talk about. But no, let's talk
about Ukraine. Okay.
Unknown: President has a lot of
Messalonskee has denied that he
was involved in the destruction
of the Nord Stream gas
pipelines. The undersea
pipelines, which brought Russian
natural gas to Germany were
blown up last September, US and
German media citing US
intelligence have reported a pro
Ukrainian group may have carried
out the attack. The Kremlin,
meanwhile, has dismissed the
allegations as a, quote, attempt
to rig the news.
Adam Curry: So this was a very
interesting little thing that
came out this new article in the
Times and designed
simultaneously saying that Oh,
no, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, pay
no attention to anything we've
said previously, and certainly
pay no attention to Seymour
Hersh. No, this was a group that
falsely rented a yacht with
false passports and and they and
they blew it up. Ah,
John C Dvorak: well, luckily,
French 24 actually had the guy
who did the original reporting.
Yeah. On their debate show and I
took three clips off it went on
for an hour. Good. But that got
you know, the Washington, New
York Times took some credit in
Washington. No, they all stole
this stuff from this guy. Okay.
So and it gets to the reporting
all came out of Germany. Yes.
And we can this is the best
rundown. This is three clips
from French 24. And one of the
specials that had this guy, and
for other people that were on to
do to kind of counter his
whatever he had to say,
including an American woman from
the Marshall Fund, who just went
on about how Russia really did
it. And it's all crap, of
course. So who's this pipeline
one?
Unknown: So who did sabotage the
Nord Stream pipelines without
much proof to go on? Pump could
only route for the version that
suits their cause. Now, though,
German investigators revealed
they have found traces of
explosives aboard a yacht that
may have carried the charge that
last September, knocked out the
undersea conduit that supplies
Russian gas to Europe via the
Baltic Sea. It's an active
investigation, Berlin warns not
to jump to hasty conclusions.
We'll go over the facts and
possible motives to once and for
all. Who wants it for all
severed Europe's dependency on
the Kremlin for its energy was a
false flag operation by Moscow
to show strength and Spike for
the suspension of those gas
imports. What about the recent
claim by veteran American
journalist Seymour Hersh that
gas producers Norway in the US
somehow colluded? And now come
these latest revelations.
According to German reports, the
yacht had been rented from a
company based in Poland that is
apparently owned by two
Ukrainians we say apparently
Kieve staunchly denies any part
more broadly, with winter nearly
over, we'll ask how Europe's
fared without that Russian gas
and what life is like without
that link to Moscow today in the
France 24 debate what to make of
the Nord Stream sabotage
revelations with us from Berlin.
He's one of the reporters who
penned that investigative piece
for German public broadcasting
and the newspaper did cite Georg
Heil, investigative reporter for
television station. W. Dr. Thank
you for being with us.
Adam Curry: Now we need to play
some backdrop here about the
visit that the German president
made to Washington.
John C Dvorak: Yes, four days
before this came out. German
This is funny. German Chancellor
Schultz. I see nothing.
Unknown: Shows.
Adam Curry: No, no one under 40.
Maybe even 50 understands that
joke.
John C Dvorak: I'll bet you half
the audience does.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Well, I
guess we're all old them hello?
No, I
John C Dvorak: think they're
right. They're playing the
Hogan's Heroes daily on me TV,
over the air. And it's been
going on for years. Now.
Adam Curry: If you if you have
if you're watching Hogan's
Heroes on me TV over the air,
please go throttle yourself.
There's got to be one person who
does that besides you.
John C Dvorak: Terrific show,
anyway. Yeah, sure. It's a
fantastic. You know, if you look
at it, you'd think it was just
produced yesterday, it's one of
the most advanced shows or
something's from 1966. It's got
widescreen, it's got not full
Not, not 16 by nine, but it's
about I think 14 by nine, it's
definitely wider than normal
four by three. It's highly
produced. It's It's unbelievable
how good that show is. Anyway,
you couldn't just let that
slide, you know. So Schultz,
flies from Berlin, to
Washington, DC to for one lone
hour, where I said blew over an
hour to meet with Biden, and
then he jumps into plane and
flies all the way back to
Berlin. That's a miserable
flight.
Adam Curry: And but if you
choose your own plane, it's a
little better than fine. But
John C Dvorak: it's like, you
know, there's other things you
can do with your life and fly
back and forth from Berlin to
Washington DC for one hour
meeting? And what so what what
is this meeting tell us?
Adam Curry: Well, the meeting
tells us like there's some
coordination, and they were
afraid, I guess they're all
afraid that everything is
bugged. We have no security, you
have to do it in person if you
want to communicate something
really secret.
John C Dvorak: I think that's
the that's the even though
that's not nobody talks about
that. I think that's the point
of con condemnation for the
security state. You can even
make a communication securely
without having to meet in person
and whisper in each other's ear.
That's pathetic.
Adam Curry: Well, as we recall,
the last time there was some
conversation regarding Ukraine,
it was Victoria Nuland and that
whole call got recorded in
outstanding quality. That's
their famous f the EU comment as
they're preparing to, to
determine who goes into the
Ukrainian government in 2014. So
they're probably a bit weary
about it now. But yeah, I would
be Yeah. Did they have that in
the Oval? Was that where they
met?
John C Dvorak: Yes. Would they
say okay,
Adam Curry: I'd think that thing
is bugged to that without
John C Dvorak: without any
assistance or anybody taking
notes there's which again,
should be grounds for
impeachment the way things have
been going, but so there's
nobody in the room except the
two of them and I don't know
that I guess she'll speaks
English so I guess it could ever
have a conversation. Because I
know Biden doesn't speak Deutsch
Adam Curry: Biden doesn't speak
English either. Are you talking?
John C Dvorak: Yeah speaking.
Anyway, so we go back to this.
That was the rundown and the
kind of the precursor to what
you're going to be discussing
this, go to clip two, and we got
the reporter on telling you what
he knows.
Unknown: It's a yacht rented
under a phony identity that sets
sail and returned to the German
port of Rostock, but they didn't
give the boat a good scrubbing,
it seems with investigators,
Garrick, Heil, finding traces of
explosives. What more do we
know?
Yeah, the act that was
apparently involved or according
to the investigators is
allegedly involved in this
attack was rented out from a
German company, the German
company, offered the act and it
was rented apparently, by a
Polish based company has just
said,
Adam Curry: Oh, can we put
enough apparently ease and
supposedly ease and all of this
stuff into this is completely
filled with with without
evidence type talk? Yeah.
Unknown: From a German company,
the German company, offered the
act and it was rented
apparently, by a Polish based
company, as you said, are run by
two Ukrainian nationals. The Yak
supposedly left the city of
Rostock on the Baltic shore on
16th, September 6, and then it
was spotted in another German
Coast village called Veeck. One
day after that, later on, there
was another localisations
possible ex post, close to the
Danish island of Christianity,
just off north northeast of Paul
Vaughn home, just on the very
spot where one of the North
Stream pipelines brands, and
then later on this act
supposedly was returned
uncleaned to the German company.
And it was as late as January of
this year that German
investigators identified the act
and searched it. It was searched
on January 18th, to 20 years. So
today's and they apparently
found forensic evidence on the
table of the act. And today, as
you said, it was officially
confirmed what we've been
reporting.
Adam Curry: Oh, it wasn't see
for because I'm sure they got
that with their fake passports,
too, right.
John C Dvorak: They never said
the extra number of things are
left out and I listened to this
thing went on for an hour,
Adam Curry: it kind of got the
size of the yacht, you know,
these
John C Dvorak: type, we don't
have the foot length of the
yacht, that would be nice, but
it can hold six, so we have to
assume his end, you know, it's
all the gear for this divers. We
don't understand where they
could, how they got down and up
without having to spend a lot of
time there. Because it takes
forever to get back up after
your dive that deep 80 meters.
And don't know
Adam Curry: that. That's not for
the inexperienced diver.
John C Dvorak: Know what this is
people weren't slouches. I mean,
they, their passports are
supposed to be top grade, which
makes it sound like our agency
did this, which is always
possible. They don't know the
past, they won't the police have
not revealed the identity or the
the citizenship of any of these
passports or what they claimed
to be. So they don't know what
they do. They will say it's not
Ukrainian, not American and not
Russian. So it could be German.
I think the Germans also
eliminated
Adam Curry: then it will be
Swedish, Danish.
John C Dvorak: Could be anything
could be Chinese.
Adam Curry: And we don't have I
mean, the thing that they do,
it's pretty easy to go back and
see what you know, there's all
kinds of radar information,
which is how we know about the P
eight that supposedly coordinate
Hirsch dropped the detonator
buoy into the water, you know
that all these boats have
identifiers that paying
regularly you can't just be in
those waters without you know,
without pinging, like your ATS
or whatever. I'm not sure what
in in airplanes at ADSB. But
it's similar. You can every ship
has to have some kind of Beacon.
So they turn that off, really.
They didn't say a lot of holes
in the story.
John C Dvorak: There's a lot of
holes in the story. And I'm
trying to think of some more
holes that they revealed. They
revealed most of the holes and
the story these holes can't be
plugged. They police just aren't
going to give that information
out according to this guy. And
Adam Curry: I want to know the
forensic evidence of this
because we were told it was C
for explosives. So what do they
do where they just leave it
laying around like and left a
little bit on the table. So raw?
John C Dvorak: I think, Steve, I
think there's I think C four can
be identified just in
microscopic amounts.
Adam Curry: Yeah. I mean, you're
not buying into this bullcrap.
Are you?
John C Dvorak: I'm, I'm not
buying into anything. I mean,
I'm not buying into SEMO
Hirsch's story either. I'm not
buying into any of it. I think
the whole thing is we're just
being played But it depends on
who's gonna do the best job of
it. And it's interesting to
watch this a good one is unfolds
because this would would help us
get out of the stupid war. I
Adam Curry: agree into it. So
just just because we had a
previous theory, we talked about
that Seymour Hersh was fed this
entire story on purpose to
elicit a response from Russia,
which of course did not happen.
So this could be a total
pullback for some reason, I
might have some ideas on that.
Or it could be a whole competing
info information source inside
the US and German government
that just threw this out to get
everyone off track altogether. I
mean,
John C Dvorak: it was
Something's fishy with this
appearance of Schultz. I know
nothing. In Washington DC for
one lone hour. I mean, this this
means that this has been
coordinated by somebody. So
let's go to clip three
Unknown: they there's more in
your reporting. Five men, one
woman in this team with two
divers a minivan a doctor. Can
you tell us more about that?
So according to German police
investigation, a white van was
used to bring equipment to the
to the act in Rostock, we don't
know Hold
Adam Curry: on a second. If this
if it's fake passports. How do
they know that there was all
these different like a doctor
and how did they know that does
it did it say that on the
passport? Like diver doctor,
woman? Well, woman would be on
their good point.
John C Dvorak: I mean, how do
they know that what that is
specifically was not addressed?
Unknown: The there's more in
your reporting? Five men, one
woman in this team with two
divers, a mini van a doctor can
tell us more about that.
So according to German police
investigation, a white van was
used to bring equipment to the
to the act in Rostock, we don't
know how they found out about
that van. Apparently, this is
what they what they believe how
it happens. I just report but
they tell me. And the theories
about the team consisted of six
people, as you said, two divers,
two assistants, you need a
captain for the boat and the
medic. And German investigators
believed that the woman and the
team that she was the medic, she
was described to us as a very
tiny person. And the working
theory of German police is that
this woman was the medic
Adam Curry: was Roseanne Barr,
maybe
Unknown: it is a very dangerous
task to go down the Baltic Sea
80 meters, even if you're a
professional, experienced diver,
or even a special forces
military diver. So you would
want to have a medic that makes
sense this theory. But still, I
think it's also very important
to add what we don't know we
don't know the official identity
the real identity of those six
persons. Neither do we know the
nationality or whom audited them
to commit this attack. But there
was a trace found another trace,
they left a paper trail who
documents we used to very highly
professional forged documents,
apparently passports. That That
means that German authorities at
least possess pictures of two of
this team out of six persons.
Oh, man, this is.
Adam Curry: So this could also
just purely be a hit job on the
Germans. I mean, this this whole
thing is nuts. It's nuts.
John C Dvorak: It's just yet.
Yeah, I think you could probably
make that assumption. It did.
Anyway, when I did a few other
details. I didn't want to keep
recording these little clips
because it was like at some
point. And then the other people
that were up there a couple of
them, especially this one
cynical guys. British. He says I
think he was him. He says it's
so convenient that they found
traces of this explosive, these
professionals with these great,
you know, unbelievably great
forged documents that could
sneak in and out. Nobody knows
who the hell they are. But they
can't clean up the boat. Kind of
commentary was very, you know,
you'd been good on this panel,
by the way. Well, that there's a
lot of skepticism on the panel
discussing this. And it seems it
there was brought out one
interesting point too, is that
it seems as if the Americans and
and some of the European
partners are a little irked with
Ukraine anyway after they pulled
some stunts one blowing up the
bridge to Crimea. Yeah, that was
number one that wasn't approved
by anybody. Second one sending
some missiles into deep into
Russia in blowing out or hitting
an airport. And the number of
little things that are getting
You know, there was nerves. And
I think, you know, I gave you
credit. I said, you won because
I, I still think this is part of
an elaborate scheme to get us
out.
Adam Curry: No, I agree with
you. And I think I can back that
up. There's a couple other
things going on at this very
moment and one that that ruins
the whole idea. I'll give you
that first. The because I think
this could this could end very
quickly. I've been saying that
for a while. But I think within
within within a month or so the
only thing that all of a sudden
goes against that is a Live Aid
style gig for Ukraine at Wembley
Stadium set for end of June.
With of course, you know, some
of your favorites Bano stink the
stones the killers. Who else is
going to be there? Stones? Yep.
Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney,
Adele, your favorite Florence in
the machine? No, Gallagher.
Unknown: Brother. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So that's it for
June 24. So I'm not quite sure
if we could turn it into a
victory. Because whatever
happens, just like Afghanistan,
just like Iraq, you know, we'll
just we'll just declare victory
doesn't matter. But the stage is
set with the reporting for
exactly what I thought might
happen is this whole eastern
border, this whole Donbass
region that should just become
Russia. That's all Russia ever
really wanted, I think is to
have that, to have that buffer
people there who want to be part
of Russia anyway. And this is
what the whole Bach moods thing
is,
Unknown: after some intense
fighting, the battle for
Buckwald may be nearing its end
game. NATO chief says the
eastern Ukrainian city could
fall to Russia in a matter of
days. Now, Jens Stoltenberg
remarks come as Russia's Wagner
mercenary group claims to have
captured the eastern bank of the
industrial town
we can not rule out that may
eventually fall in the coming
days. Therefore, it is also
important to highlight that this
does not necessarily reflect any
turning point of the war. Just
highlights that we should not
underestimate Russia.
Adam Curry: Now that's that's
the big warmonger. Jens
Stoltenberg. And he is now
signaling Wow, it looks like
it's I don't know, it looks like
they just might grab that. By
the way I see trolls who clearly
are MK Ultra saying who you
think Putin is going to stop
that? I actually do. I actually
do think he's going to stop at
that. And they have a pretty big
stick.
John C Dvorak: While people come
up with this stuff. Well,
clearly not listening to our
show. Well, you haven't really
observed anything. They just
thought this is some sort of
mind control.
Adam Curry: It's not in control.
Yeah, by the mainstream media,
and very effective mind control
because you know, babies, women,
horrible death, destruction,
Russia bad and we've lost many
listeners. We've lost many
listeners over this, who just
said wait, I can't listen to you
anymore. You don't understand
how dangerous Putin is. Dude,
Putin has shown nothing but
great restraint, certainly over
this particular case, which, you
know, this is their export, it
got blown up. And so now there's
something that's coming to an
end this month that may be the
catalyst to pull this all
together.
Unknown: The UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres and
Ukraine's President Volodymyr
Zelensky have called for the
extension of a crucial deal with
Moscow that allows Ukrainian
grain exports. Speaking after
talks, and Keith Lenski stressed
that the Black Sea grain
initiative was vital for the
world's terrorists agreed saying
the agreement was essential to
global food security. The deal
allows Ukraine to ship grain
from its black sea ports and
Russia to export fertilizer and
food. It's set to expire on
March 18. And Moscow has
signaled that it might not let
the deal continue.
Adam Curry: So we're already in
negotiations. You know, there's
already talks on the table just
addled. Okay, look, you get the
Donbass, you get that region. We
open that up for grain we won.
John C Dvorak: Now, there's
something else that was pointed
out and this debate was on
French 24. One of the guy said,
Why would Ukraine do any of this
to that pipeline when they could
just blow up the pipeline, that
pipeline that's going through
Ukraine is still going through
Ukraine from
Adam Curry: Russia, and it's and
it's still operating, as far as
I know, still operating and
John C Dvorak: is still pumping
products? Yeah. Yeah. Why don't
they just blow that up?
Adam Curry: Well, the reason why
is Is there ammo
Unknown: and Ukraine's defense
minister has said the EU's plan
to supply Keith with 1 billion
euros worth of ammunition was
not enough. Alexei Resnikoff
says Ukraine needs four times
that amount. The huge defense
ministers are meeting in
Stockholm to try and hammer out
a deal that would see the block
launch a massive joint munitions
buying efforts.
Western how it serves on the
battlefield and essential tool
in a war that for the moment has
settled into an artillery duel
between Ukraine and Russia. With
Ukrainian forces using up to
7000 artillery rounds daily
sending ammunition especially
the 155 millimeter NATO standard
shells has become a top priority
for kyiv's allies and it big
problems as defense expert drone
Aleta,
not only is Ukraine running low
on this, also European nations
are running out of stockpiles,
our own reserves are running
low. So this is a big problem,
of course, because we will not
be able to deliver
to ramp up supplies use cheap
diploma to the Burrell has put
forward a three track plan
proposing an additional 1
billion euros to buy ammunition,
joint purchasing of ammunition
by Member States and increasing
production in the long term.
I think it's a very big deal. I
mean, look, the European Union
is an institute credits for
peaceful goals. So we now see
that the European Union is
moving into the military sphere.
And this is a first time in
history. It's pretty unique
actually,
the idea is to apply a mechanism
similar to the one used during
the COVID 19 pandemic when the
European Commission negotiated
contracts and acquired vaccines
on behalf of member states. Now
the European defense agency
could sign arms contracts on
behalf of its members.
Adam Curry: So we're achieving a
lot even though I mean we all
say the European Union is
achieving a lot of things. So
they they put in place a
mechanism where Queen Ursula
herself ordered through text
messages negotiated the deal
with Pfizer for the vaccines.
Now, that framework, as they
say, is in place for her to
order any type of ammo as long
as it's the standard NATO ammo,
is that we've got that in place.
Well, this is good. And now I'd
say that they have already
achieved the deal. It's time to
let a little pressure off to go
into the fall on climate change
initiatives that they have been
teeing up and she actually lied
she lied like a mofo when she
was in Canada. CBC did a an
exclusive exclusive interview.
Listen to what she says about
the Russian gas
Unknown: point when you're
needed natural gas though Canada
wasn't able to directly meet the
demand because of a lack of
capacity and infrastructure here
in particular on the East Coast.
And and Canada's critics
internally have said our climate
policies and our review process
left us unable to meet Europe's
needs. What's your stance on
that
Canada helped indirectly because
Canada stepped up its production
overall. And we had a situation
when Russia cut the pipeline gas
to Europe 80% of the pipeline
gas they had sent to Europe.
Adam Curry: Excuse me. At what
point did Russia cut the
pipeline 80% of the pipeline gas
to Europe do Am I missing
something here? When did that
happen? Is she referring to
blowing up the pipes? No no.
When did they didn't turn it
off?
John C Dvorak: Well if they
turned it off then when they
blew up the pipe you and had all
that gas escape.
Adam Curry: Well, that was
methane. They say that that's
what the gas is with that and
that was from number two. Well,
but my point is when whenever
When did Russia turn? That's a
lie. I don't think they ever did
that.
John C Dvorak: You know, I get
the sense that it came up in the
conversation though. Will keep
keep rolling out oh look, I may
look
Unknown: pleased we had a
situation when Russia cut the
pipeline gas to Europe, the
pipeline gas you said 80% of the
pipeline gas they had sent to
Europe. The overall energy
supply on the global market was
very tight. And here, Canada
helped indirectly by stepping up
or increasing the LNG
production. This freed more
resources in different regions
of the world and gave us the
opportunity to buy LNG on the
global market so to help us in a
very critical stage.
Adam Curry: By the way the troll
room correctly recognizes my
statement is true methane gas
comes from number two very funny
trolls. It was not intended you
find anything.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there was
some rusher at resume gas
supplies to your business in
December last year so they had
cut it off.
Adam Curry: Okay. Well, to
continue on This one I think May
the choice the EU may be making
is okay. Now we're good to go.
We hated gas anyway. Russia cut
it off. There's no There's there
mothballing, you read this, this
this term everywhere there
mothballing the gas pipelines
indicated they will never come
back again. And this means it's
time for green hydro Jean.
Unknown: Right. They helped you
indirectly. But it wouldn't be
preferable. I want to talk about
Canada being a natural partner
for all the reasons you
outlined. But to have direct
shipments of Canadian liquid
natural gas going to Europe,
would that not be a preferred
outcome?
That would be interesting, but
it has to be a business case. So
it's, it's the companies who
have to, to decide on that one,
what is more important is, over
time, this is not the acute
crisis reaction. Over time, we
will go and we are going deep
into renewable energy. And here
also Canada as a prime partner.
If you look at hydrogen, for
example, this is the topic for
the European Union, we will
import a lot of hydrogen. And
here natural partner, again, is
Canada. So we are working now on
a memorandum of understanding
with the Canadian government,
specifically for hydrogen,
because this is the mid and long
term, partnership and
relationship we want to build.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you asked
that question. What I'm learning
now, and I'm not sure if Canada
is a part of this. But I am
learning that hydrogen there
appear to be large deposits of
hydrogen in different parts of
the earth, which could be
extracted and can be shipped off
somehow I'm not familiar with
the mechanism without going
through the whole green
hydrolysis process, and Canada
in this case, has a lot of
natural gas. So they could be
creating what they call blue
hydrogen. With a natural gas,
it's the stupidest thing in the
world, but with their gas, where
they keep their gas in Canada,
use that for electrolysis and
then capture the hydrogen and
then ship it off to Europe. And
this is, this is also happening
in Africa, which kind of
explains what's happening. This
is a short report,
Unknown: the future of European
energy could rely on Africa with
lots of sunshine and wind much
of the continent is ideal for
generating clean electricity, or
for using it to create another
clean fuel hydrogen. Now the
United Arab Emirates, Egypt and
Germany have struck a $24
billion deal in Mauritania,
where they'll build a hydrogen
facility near the capital nuoc
shops. It has a planned capacity
of 10 gigawatts that's the
output of roughly five to six
standard nuclear power plants.
The first phase of the project
is set to be completed by 2028.
So what
Adam Curry: we're hearing is
it's all going to be
John C Dvorak: what is the
dumbest thing I've ever heard in
my life. Okay, could get that
much energy from five nuclear
plants? Yes, use that energy I
hear
Adam Curry: you but you know,
that is green. They're not going
to do that. We all know that
John C Dvorak: we're using the
energy from the nukes you use
the energy from the nukes to
make hydrogen now there was an
inefficient process by
comparison, yes. And then ship
the hydrogen off and then this
stuff that is a piece of shit
anyway, because it's leeches
through everything is horrible
product. I've said this before.
And okay, now we've just gotten
to comedic
Adam Curry: Well, here's here's
the kicker, New Scientist
magazine, gold hydrogen. There
appears to be a huge reserve of
clean fuel in the Earth's crust.
One of the main places this is
Mauritania, followed by Senegal
Nish air, Guinea Bissau and
Diablo. This is why everyone's
in Africa. They're all going
they're like, oh, okay, well,
we'll just throw some some bull
crap solar panels up are really
going to grab this hydrogen ship
that back somehow, because
that's a September 1 2022. We
first saw the switch from the
green new deal to the new
hydrogen deal. And it obviously
it's stupid. It makes no sense.
They should of course, they
should just do nuclear. But I
guess you don't have enough
control over the masses. If you
can't, you know, go to war and
shoot and break people's
pipelines. And it's insane,
obviously. But it's happening.
They really go well except the
UK. The UK hasn't figured out
that this war has to end and
we've got all the hydrogen we
want. And the UK Of course, no
longer part of the EU. So
they're they're not even getting
briefed. This is a Tobias
Elwood, he's the What is this
guy? He's the head of head of
the British Parliament Defense
Committee.
Unknown: We are now at war in
Europe. We need to move to a war
footing we are involved in that
we've mobilized our procurement
processes, we're gifting
equipment, we need to face
Russia directly and reckon that
rather than leaving Ukraine to
do
Adam Curry: all the work, he
wants to send troops to Ukraine
to go fight Russia. So they're
not reading clearly. But I think
I think this is although he's
not for sure. Well, he's
representing the defense
committee. So the whole defense
committee is not to it, this is
this is some kind of big move to
Australia is trying to get on
and this is a Chris, you want to
hear crazy report when it comes
to hydrogen. Listen to this,
Unknown: Australian scientists
are spearheading a new way of
producing energy. Researchers at
Monash University have
discovered bacteria found in
soil can convert hydrogen in the
air into electricity. The enzyme
called who could unlock an
unlimited source of energy as
Australia looks to be a global
hydrogen leader by the end of
the decade.
Adam Curry: So who I don't know
what this who is the enzyme
called who? Who have you ever
heard
John C Dvorak: this report to
This is bull crap.
Adam Curry: What is who? I don't
know. Almost an enzyme. The
enzyme name who? So obviously
John C Dvorak: Chinese, huh?
Adam Curry: No, it could be some
attract but they haven't been in
Australia. Anyway. This is
John C Dvorak: yeah, these
ideas. There was one that was
the one that came up the other
day. It's like some other
bacteria or something it could
take. Yeah, this is the one that
can take hydrogen, current
hydrogen in the atmosphere,
which is point 0000, whatever.
And turn it into free
electricity.
Adam Curry: I love that. 0.0 is
perfect. right up your alley.
Zero Point Energy, everybody. We
got it. How about this? The
whole idea is just I think we
discussed it before the solar
panels, the windmills. It's old.
We're tired of it. 20 years, you
know, it's not working. It's not
it's not profitable. Everyone's
kind of
John C Dvorak: the first time
this we had this first round
about this in the 70s.
Adam Curry: Okay, but we're
talking today's voters, not not
the people who are half dead.
Like you and me that know
John C Dvorak: what, like me.
Nothing means.
Adam Curry: Wow, man, it wasn't
funny the first time I mean,
three times and now you're
really overdoing it. And you're
gonna you're not gonna get the
Germans are gonna get mad.
Because that
John C Dvorak: was they loved
that guy. And then we go on,
Adam Curry: they hate Oh, hey,
go on. Okay, Kara. Thanks. Now.
You're in a mood today, man.
What's wrong?
John C Dvorak: It's my new AMP
on my little microphone. Oh,
okay. It's got me all jacked up.
I can trace a different kind of
aura in the in the studio. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Let's go back to the
other one. I liked old John.
This is clearly by the way,
Suzanne Santos. Do you remember
who she is? No. She's an
actress, musician. She's the one
that went on Rogen like a year
ago and was talking about how
much he loved our show and how
much he loves it when we bicker.
Oh, yes. I remember this
actress. She went on and on
about it. She says hi. She was
at the show last night.
John C Dvorak: Oh, she was there
too. Yeah, just take all the
celebrities from Austin.
Adam Curry: Don't Don't Don't
miss it. Hi. Big fan. Well, hi
John C Dvorak: back.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was
great. She's very nice. She's
John C Dvorak: one of my
favorite. She's gorgeous. She's
and.
Adam Curry: And on the way home
tonight we're listening to her
music is pretty good. But her
album came out during COVID.
Which kind of sucks I guess.
Anyway. I think that this is
just another 10 year Gambit.
This is the whole idea. We'll
just keep on fundraising, keep
on doing political stuff. They
don't actually want anything to
work. That would kind of fit the
whole narrative that
John C Dvorak: actually is the
best thesis that I think the
show's ever uncovered. Yeah, it
seems that all bullcrap. To keep
the money if cash flow.
Adam Curry: Yeah, cash flow.
Exactly. Keep soaking the people
up, give reasons to print more
money everywhere. Because you
know, we got to do some. And,
you know, the only thing that
remains open is what do we do
with the military industrial
complex if we pull back from the
war in Ukraine. And what I'm
seeing is, I know you you don't
really think it's happening. But
I just see a pivot to China.
John C Dvorak: They can pivot to
Georgia, according to this
morning.
Adam Curry: I saw it but China
is more fun. Yeah, Chinese more
China has
John C Dvorak: tried to take on
China, as well as anyone's ever
tried to take on Russia gets
destroyed. And it's really
Adam Curry: well let's listen to
a few reports here. This is NBC.
Let's turn now
Unknown: to those warnings aimed
at the white house from top
leaders in China, including its
president, and they are
ratcheting up the tensions
between the two nations amid
growing concern about China's
potential involvement in the war
in Ukraine. And VCs ma Holly
Hunter has that story with us in
Mali, these are rare. These are
direct messages. How seriously
are they being received?
Yeah. Hoda? That's exactly
right. These are rare. These are
direct. And today for the second
day in a row we heard very
similar comments. So Beijing's
new foreign minister doubling
down warning the US and China
are hurtling towards what he
calls direct confrontation and
conflict now fiery comments from
foreign minister chin Gong
underline the deepening tension
between of course the two
world's biggest economies this
echoed sharp comments from
China's leader Xi Jinping
yesterday, blaming Washington
for these deteriorating
relationships. Now speaking in a
legislative session, it was
according and reported by China
state TV she accused Washington
of trying to fence China in take
a look at what exactly he said
he said Western countries led by
the United States have
implemented all round
containment in circumvent and
suppression of China, which has
brought unprecedented severe
challenges to our country's
development. Now, Jota as you
mentioned, these are strong rare
words from China's leader. Of
course, all of this comes as
Beijing strongly denies the US
allegation that it is
considering giving Moscow lethal
aid to us in the war in Ukraine.
Adam Curry: So there were a
couple of wait.
John C Dvorak: Holder holders
back Yeah, yeah. The holder was
you know the funnies? I always
say this. I'm listening to that
clip. And the holder there.
Yeah. I thought it was a guy
Adam Curry: at the beginning of
the clip.
John C Dvorak: Good. I try to
hold his voice at that. That was
the voice of a male.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, you
never know these days.
International Woman's Day was
yesterday. I don't know if you
saw our first lady.
John C Dvorak: I guess you
didn't know. But I did put that
picture of her when she's
wearing those army sneakers and
camouflage dress. Remember that?
Was in the newsletter.
Adam Curry: Now. Well, she. She
gave out the international Woman
Oh,
John C Dvorak: referee does is
great, too. Again, we don't have
any clips or anything that that
was unbelievable.
Adam Curry: I don't Yeah, I
didn't clip it. It was a very
short clip. But it was it was
just funny. Like, okay, well,
but it was it was it was she was
International Women's Day. And
and there's I really thought I
had that one. There's Joe Biden
handing out awards for being
outstanding. Women. Let me see
Woman of the Year. Correct.
Well, it was a woman of the year
or was he was Woman of the Year
international Woman of the Year?
Yeah, even better. Yeah. And it
was dude from Nigeria. And
that's fine. You identify
however you want. But come on
people. There's real women who
do not like this. And you're
going to lose those votes.
That's what
John C Dvorak: oh, look at that
woman that was standing behind
her home and that photo. Yeah.
Yeah. What a look.
Adam Curry: And did they give
Rachel Avena prize? Rachel
always needs a prize or stuff
like that. Or did right. I don't
know. Did you see her anywhere?
John C Dvorak: Tai Chi is in one
of my clips, but I don't know.
Okay, back
Adam Curry: to China. Because
now we're now it's the same old
same. And you know, China may
even be in on this. I don't
know. Maybe they're all maybe
they're all in collusion.
John C Dvorak: It's right. You
know, thinking about this idea.
This is just cash flow. For
everybody wait possible
Adam Curry: for rattle rinse and
repeat. Repeat get those sabers,
rattle them rinse and repeat.
This is a Deutsche Bella clip
and you'll hear very similar
language in the CBS report.
Unknown: China has announced
that it will be boosting its
military spending in the coming
years to counter what it
describes as escalating threats
from abroad. The move was
announced at the National
People's Congress a rubber stamp
Parliament, which is currently
meeting in Beijing, officials
said the country's military
budget would increase by 7.2%.
Now China's current military
budget is around 225 billion US
dollars. That's only about a
quarter of that of the United
States. China's military
activities that are being
watched with concerned by
Taiwan, which earlier warned of
the need to be on high alert for
China, entering areas close to
its territory.
Adam Curry: So only 7.2% gotta
step it up boys. We're giving
away all our money. We give away
almost everything $900 billion a
year. You guys are lame. Now
what was the key phrase there
that we heard? What was it?
Well, first of all, you've got
to stop doing that. Because it's
really it's like you're it's
like you're just grabbing the
mic every single time. Are you?
John C Dvorak: I did that time.
But I'm not grabbing the mic per
se. I don't know why. I can't
tell what it is noises that
you're hearing because you're
hanging. It's
Adam Curry: your hand touching
the microphone.
John C Dvorak: I don't touch the
mic from my hand is three feet
away from the microphone at all
times. Well,
Adam Curry: then how can I hear
this?
John C Dvorak: I'm wondering
myself. Okay,
Adam Curry: I'll point it out
every single time You do it
because yes please I'm sure
you're touching something stop
touching the microphone stand
don't touch the stand it rattles
like a mofo. Yes, yes that you
can't touch it can't touch this.
John C Dvorak: Then what good is
this little? This this isolator?
Adam Curry: You know, I wonder
that all the time. You don't
wear headphones.
John C Dvorak: I've got an
isolator on the mic. It
shouldn't be affected by
anything. Does not indirect
contact with the mic?
Adam Curry: The whole world is
hearing it. Well, I
John C Dvorak: don't know about
that. Don't have your ears.
Anyway and continue please.
Adam Curry: CBS This Morning.
Unknown: The National People's
Congress the largest rubber
stamp parliament in the world.
Adam Curry: Did you hear it now?
So Deutsche Avella and CBS are
using the same term rubber stamp
parliament the largest rubber
stamp parliament in the world
John C Dvorak: which has
absolutely zero power
whatsoever. It is not a rubber
stamp parliament.
Adam Curry: What's the largest?
Being honest, it's the largest.
Unknown: The National People's
Congress, the largest rubber
stamp parliament in the world
has convened in Beijing. This
week, almost 3000 delegates will
enshrine in law the wishes of
their leader China's President
Xi Jinping. She's zero COVID
policy with his ruthless
quarantines and epic testing did
huge economic damage to China
for a congress Premier League.
Adam Curry: You want to say
something?
John C Dvorak: We had ruthless
quarantines Australia has went
on differently. Australia had
ruthless quarantines like
Australia and New Zealand worse,
huge
Unknown: economic damage to
China. At the Congress Premier
Li Ko Chang made it clear
repairing the damage is a top
priority. The development target
he said is growth of around 5%.
But it's not clear that growth
will translate into good news
for American businesses in
China. So there's a chill in the
air. There certainly is a chill
in the air. As US China
relations sour. Some American
companies fear they're already
suffering the fallout. Michael
Hart heads the American Chamber
of Commerce in Beijing
companies feel like they're
squeezed out of certain
industries. And so there is a
question mark that many US
companies have about, you know,
are we really welcome?
That depends to a large extent
on President Xi, he officially
begins an unprecedented third
term later this week, backed by
an inner circle chosen above all
for their loyalty, they will
support him whether he seeks to
escalate confrontation with the
US and its allies, or dial it
back. All eyes will be on the
Congress this week for clues as
to which way that might go.
Adam Curry: Okay, so we clearly
are focusing on China to up our
coffers to get the military
focused and all the money I
think this is what the the plan
loosely is from at least a large
portion of the military
industrial complex, just like,
you know, we get oh, North Korea
shooting off some missiles, or
we need to put some more stuff
in South Korea, as admitted by
my uncle, Uncle Don. It's like
that's all military industrial
complex build up. So now we have
China, we've got to get the
position stuff in the
Philippines. For Taiwan, we've
got to position stuff in Japan,
just in case just in case. So
now we are going to be building
that up. And we need a lot more
much Montreal a lot more. And
it's not NATO. So we can't use
your stupid NATO stock. We're
gonna use other stuff, our new
stuff. And so this presents
tremendous opportunities. Enter
tick tock, tick tock. This
started and I think it still is
Silicon Valley's initiative to
remove Tik Tok from the scene
because they're eating up right
now $6 billion a year of
advertising money. That is not
going to mainly Facebook.
Twitter is a whole different
deal with no one gives a shit
over there Twitter. But Google
even has, by the way, we look at
her masters today, Kume laude in
psychology, that particular
algorithm, so and she was the
one that had the inside
information that internal report
that Google is very worried that
one out of two people search for
something on tick tock before
they search on Google, which is
a very big problem.
John C Dvorak: Maybe if Google
did a better job go well of
Adam Curry: course that's the
problem. They cannot compete and
tick tock just nailed it. They
can
John C Dvorak: they can compete.
They just can't gouges much. Now
tick tock
Adam Curry: is is it's crack.
You know they have not had crack
in a long time in Silicon
Valley. They just can't create
at once trying to do it but they
can't do it. They can't they
can't recreate what tick tock is
I was born to the world. So this
created an enormous opportunity.
Let's pay politicians you know,
I mean, let's support them for
their reelection campaign. Let's
lobby them make sure that they
got Oh tick tock is bad China
China's stealing our
information. Oh China is is
manipulating our children Scott
Adams moron. So now we can do
everything kind of all at one
time ABC News two
Unknown: subjects dominated a
Senate hearing on the top global
threats to America COVID-19 And
Tik Tok to me It screams out
with national security concerns.
Senator Marco Rubio question FBI
director Christopher Rea, on
whether tick tock, which is
owned by a Chinese company could
censor videos to shape us public
opinion?
Could they use it to control the
software on millions of devices
given the opportunity to do so
we couldn't draw the software?
Yes. Because they use it to
drive narratives like to divide
Americans against each other.
For example, let's say China
wants to invade Taiwan to make
sure that Americans are seeing
videos arguing why Taiwan
belongs to China and why the US
should not intervene
Adam Curry: that this now now
tick tock is a is a weapon of
military grade war. Because you
know, they could change what we
see. And then when you're wrong,
you
John C Dvorak: me are changed
the way we want to vote the way
Google data the way Facebook
dash can do it. We must be able
to do it too, even though we
have no evidence of this. No,
I'll give you a good one. And by
the way, I just I'm just
harkening back to the Oh,
China's trying to trying to
censor Google, we can't have
anything that free and open
internet or Saudi Arabia wants
to cut off American internet we
have to have a free and open
internet and net neutrality. Oh,
just wait
Adam Curry: for it
Unknown: to make sure that
Americans are seeing videos
arguing why Taiwan belongs to
China, why the US should not
intervene.
Yes, tic tock CEO has insisted
the company would never provide
Americans data to the Chinese
government. But here's what
Senator John Thune told ABC is
Trevor alt.
Adam Curry: It's all bullshit.
John, we know it's bullshit.
This is tomorrow to mark today.
This afternoon. The government
could say you know what, we got
a problem. We got to remove tick
tock from Android and from iOS
app stores. But they're not
going to do that. Because
there's very important when
Unknown: you see something
concrete showing that tick tock
has maybe taken Americans data
and given it to China or is that
simply a hypothetical that your
concern could happen? No.
There's there's evidence to that
effect.
Another hot topic at the hearing
the origins of COVID-19 and the
two leading theories, either the
virus evolved naturally or it
leaked accidentally from a lab
in Wuhan, China. Dr. Robert
Redfield, the CDC director under
President Trump testified he was
excluded from discussions about
the origin of the virus by Dr.
Anthony Fauci and other
scientists because he believed
the lab leak theory warranted
investigation
was told to me that they wanted
a single narrative and that I
obviously had a different point
of view.
Dr. Fauci calling that
accusation completely untrue and
saying no one excluded anyone.
Adam Curry: So here's how this
information warfare operation is
working against the American
people. We start by saying tick
tock bad tick tock bad to go
tick tock all the all the
controlling are to look like
they give good tick tock to
children China bad tic tock to
children by the way, it's people
my age who are hooked on tick
tock people with money who are
who actually vote you know, this
is this is crack for the masses.
So we have that aspect now. Oh,
now you Oh my goodness. All of a
sudden we have it came from the
lab in Wuhan. Look up in the sky
a balloon the spy balloon. This.
This is completely shaped to
make America hate China with a
rubber stamp Parliament
Unknown: tick tock could be
banned from the US under a new
bipartisan bill proposed today
the Senate legislation would
give the Commerce Secretary new
powers to act against tech
companies based in six foreign
nations including China.
President Biden has ordered that
Tiktok be removed from
government devices over concerns
that China could be trying to
spy on Americans.
Adam Curry: So you look at the
bill that's being proposed. It
is not against tick tock it is
giving the Commerce Secretary
your US government not a rubber
stamp complete control over what
you can do on the internet what
what you can launch or if
there's any Oh, this could be
bad could be data leaking out to
some other country. They want to
control the internet. They want
to control it and why comes out
of this one clip. And this is
from the hearing about tick tock
and they had in this KNOCK KNOCK
zone. He's the NSA Director. And
they're asking Naloxone, about
what the power what the power of
Tiktok really is. Listen
carefully
Unknown: scrolling on your
phone, using tick tock could
soon be a thing of the past.
asked if you live in the US. As
on Tuesday, a dozen senators
unveiled a new bill, which, if
passed, would authorize the
Commerce Secretary to ban
technology products viewed as
threats to national security.
And while not explicitly aimed
at tick tock review, it's clear
that the Chinese owned app is a
cause for concern.
So tick tock concerns me in for
a number of different reasons.
One is the data that they have.
Secondly, is the algorithm and
the control who has the
algorithm. Third is to broad
platform influence operations,
as we talked about previously,
it's not only a fact that you
can influence something but you
can also, you know, turn off the
message as well when you have
such a large population of
listeners.
Adam Curry: Okay, what did he
just say?
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
he said. But he says about
turning off the messaging, when
you have a large number of
listeners, what's he talking
about?
Adam Curry: Well, he's poorly
informed cuz he doesn't give a
shit about tick tock, all he
cares about is our own our own
propaganda against our own
people. What he's saying here
is, the problem is they have to
tell us that to give us the algo
tell us how it works, so that we
can just like we do with
Twitter, and Facebook, and
Instagram. So we can
propagandize people by making
things very popular. And he
says, The worst thing is just
when we've got something going
viral, because we have all these
1000s of people doing that
within the Pentagon and the
State Department, you know,
Smith month be damned, of
course, it was overturned, and
now we can commit propaganda
against their own people. Will
they will they could just turn
it off and stop our propaganda
campaign. Listen, again,
Unknown: it's clear that the
Chinese owned app is a cause for
concern.
So tick tock concerns me in for
a number of different reasons.
One is the data that they have.
Secondly, is the algorithm and
the control who has the
algorithm. Third is the broad
platform influence operations,
as we talked about previously,
it's not only the fact that you
can influence something but you
can also, you know, turn off the
message as well, when you have
such a large population of
listeners
Adam Curry: influence
operations. He's talking about
this the NSA. He's talking about
our influence operations. Now,
the fact that he says listeners
is because he's already
thinking, How do I censor
podcasts. That's why he's
thinking of that. These guys
want total control which app you
can have and how the algo works.
Unknown: In the US alone. Tick
tock has been downloaded over
200 million times with 138
million monthly active users.
And last year, that app
generated nearly $6 billion in
ad revenue in the US. Tick tock
said last week that a US ban on
the app would amount to a ban on
the export of American culture
and values to the billion people
who use their service worldwide.
The app has come under
increasing fire over fears that
user data could end up in the
hands of the Chinese government
that has already been banned in
India, as well as on government
devices in the European Union.
Adam Curry: I love that. I love
that report. They put it right
in. Yeah, tick tock and turn off
our influence operations with
just one it's all going well. So
they have no control.
John C Dvorak: So they banned it
in India. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, remember China
is on Pakistan side.
John C Dvorak: So technically,
so are we.
Adam Curry: Well, who the hell
knows or what, who's where a
fair weather friend as far as
I'm concerned, oops, screw
anybody. And I think the first I
think the first blow has been
has landed in the, in the in the
US China war. Mitch McConnell is
being treated for concussion
after tripping and falling at a
hotel in Washington, DC. Mr.
China, you
John C Dvorak: know, reminds who
was the previous speaker, the
Senate. The Democrat is Schumer
from Nevada. There's all Oh.
Adam Curry: What's his name?
Yeah. We've got a rubber band in
his eye.
John C Dvorak: He was all beaten
out. He's beaten to shit
basically, by some gangsters or
something. Because he read you
what are you reading Harry Reid?
Thank you very early and all
beaten up? wouldn't run again.
It was out of there. Yep. And so
Mitch McConnell, who is kind of
a scion of those Chinese because
he's, I think he's married to a
Chinese woman. And he's abroad,
not
Adam Curry: just with not just a
Chinese woman, one of the
richest Chinese families with
huge shipping contracts. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, somebody
John C Dvorak: worked him over.
Adam Curry: You know it because
they're not really saying what
happened. The saying, Leader
McConnell tripped at a dinner
event Wednesday evening, and has
been admitted to the hospital
and being treated for
concussion. So what if someone
tripped them up? Yeah, the the
fall happened at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel in DC, which was
formerly the Trump International
Hotel, according to a source
familiar with the matter?
Cheese, you didn't even want
John C Dvorak: to have a source
familiar with the matter to
discuss the name change?
Adam Curry: Well, let's see an
end for you. Now we'll use 81.
So a bad foul cannot consult
when you're 81.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, it's
something you don't want to
know. But it is suspicious.
Adam Curry: It just the timing
is
John C Dvorak: very mean even if
you have your if your feet go
out from under you. Like if a
slippery says that you'd like to
get a concussion from now, you'd
have to hit your head hard on
Adam Curry: exactly on the
corner, but they don't have any
report any any real information
about that. Now, one more one
more thing, if you just if we
just want to really screw
everything over and make
everything a problem. This
report came out yesterday. Let
me see. Where's this? You yeah,
here we go. This report I loved
we're going to Australia,
Unknown: I guess was an
extraordinary story. Can you
first of all, tell me why did
they dope the gold as it's
called?
Yeah, good morning, they were
looking 2018 The Perth Mint was
under quite a bit of financial
pressure. And so they took a
decision to dilute or to dope
their gold. And that basically
means that they added tiny
amounts of silver into the mix
that makes in their gold bars.
And this was a really a It's not
illegal, but it's a really high
risk strategy because it leaves
them with very little margin for
error if something goes wrong,
and so fast forward a couple of
years in September 2021. And
they got a complaint from the
largest customer, the Shanghai
Gold Exchange. Now, remember
here that the Perth Mint had to
do two things, it had to stay
above the broader industry
standard. But it also had to
stay above the slightly stricter
standards of the Shanghai Gold
Exchange. So in September 2021,
it received a complaint from
Shanghai that two gold bars were
not up to standard. Now. It that
was a very big moment for them,
I would imagine there was quite
a bit of sort of panic at the
Perth Mint at that point. And
they began an internal
investigation. And what that
found was that one of those gold
bars came back as a red flag ie
did not meet the standards set
by the Shanghai Gold Exchange,
which was incidentally the Perth
Mint largest customer by a very
long margin. So at that point,
they'd begun this internal
investigation, but it wasn't
just one gold bar. That was this
assay, as they call it a test
came back as a red flag meant
that the entire gold production
over that three year period was
potentially tainted or
substandard. And so as the
process went on, they did this
internal report and it came up
with this really extraordinary
revelation that having talked to
internal staff members had made
some estimates, they made a
estimate that up to 100 tonnes
of gold that they had sent to
the Shanghai Gold Exchange was
potentially below the Shanghai
exchange the standards and may
need to be recalled now, that is
9 billion or $8.7 billion worth
of gold.
Adam Curry: They were they were
messing with the gold.
John C Dvorak: This is his idea
was this it the
Adam Curry: Perth Mint in
Australia. And man, they had the
Western Australia Premier,
trying to explain this. He's
sweating. He's sweating. He's
sweating bullets over this bed
because he knew about it. They
were literally diluting the cold
with silver. Above, you know,
above and beyond. I didn't know
that, that this is already done
as some kind of standard 0.999
or whatever. And the Shanghai
exchange. I mean, when you have
that much gold, which of course
has been in circulation amongst
countries, I would presume that
you can't look we know we can't
trust the tungsten from China.
So now you can't trust
Australia's Gold. Can we trust
gold at all? I think this is a
big deal. I may not be seeing it
right.
John C Dvorak: But remember the
old to be well, we had this big
discussion a number of years
back when we were talking about
the tungsten scandals. Yes,
Adam Curry: I have a clip here
from this is 2021
Unknown: in jewelry stores on
47th Street and Fifth Avenue.
The important trust between
merchants has been violated this
10 ounce gold bar costing nearly
$18,000. It turns out to be a
counterfeit worth just about
$3,600
Adam Curry: Yeah, but it well,
we had I don't I don't have any
of the clips anymore. But way
way way long ago China was doing
this. They were they were mixing
in time. tungsten, they put a
little bit in a lot just have an
outer shell because tungsten I
think is exact, is it exactly
the same way as gold?
John C Dvorak: It's close enough
close that you wouldn't know the
difference if you could, if you
could blend them.
Adam Curry: So this, I think,
is, is a real cause for concern
between countries, especially
China and Australia or China and
the five eyes or whatever you
want to call it, I think it's a
problem. If you can't trust the
gold, what are you going to do?
I know, I know, I know exactly
what you do. You need Elon Musk
to save you. Elon did another
interview. I don't know what
people don't understand this,
where the I think we're the only
ones talking about the fact that
he is not building a social
network. He is building a
finance finance app, like
WeChat, which will come with its
own set of financial benefits
and constraints. And which
probably will include a some
form of a social credit score.
But listen to this and listen
for the tell.
Unknown: Let's close on Twitter,
before getting to another couple
of companies I've heard that you
run the vision you're building
towards, I think you've called
it x or the everything app. Tell
us about it. Beyond just
improving the app, this
Adam Curry: is just the setup
question. Tell us what you
really want to do with with
Twitter, cuz I've heard about it
being x or something like that.
vertising?
Unknown: And what will we be
able to do on Twitter in your in
your grandest vision,
x x icon. So I think it's
possible to create a very
powerful finance experience
basically. Like, like Pay Pal is
kind of like a halfway version
of what I think could be done in
finance. And so you want to be
like, let's say, like, you want
to be able to send money easily,
from one account on X slash
Twitter to another account,
effortlessly with one click. You
want to be able to earn interest
on the money, you want to be
able to have debt. So you can
set your interest can go
negative. I mean, I basically, I
think it's possible to become
the biggest financial
institution in the world.
Just by providing people with
convenient payment options. We
don't have the time to go into
it in detail here, except
we just make the app more and
more useful. People will use it
more. And it'll be great. I
mean, you'll see.
Adam Curry: So I have never
heard anyone say this. So he
specifically said, you'll be
able to earn interest if you
have your money in Twitter. And
you can also go into debt with
negative interest rate. I've
only heard that in the context
of a government controls. bank
account, like Central Bank
digital currency, but it is
going into debt. Why does that?
Why does he say Yeah, that'll be
negative interest rates.
John C Dvorak: I have no idea.
Adam Curry: Something's up with
that.
John C Dvorak: It sounds like a
free form. You know, I should
get a copy of that and then edit
it. So we can hear again, Musk
trying to speak which seems
harder and harder for him to do
day by day. Get a simple
sentence out is almost
impossible.
Unknown: I know. I know. I know.
John C Dvorak: Huh? Well, if you
want to take a breather, I have
a nice clip. Since you brought
up Tik Tok a while ago. I have a
clip of a woman who is got the
multiple personality disorder.
Adam Curry: Oh, is she a
listener?
John C Dvorak: No, she's a tick
tock woman.
Adam Curry: Oh, wait a minute
hold on us. I keep forgetting to
do this when we have a tick I
gotta set that up. Now we need
to the Tick Tock jingle
John C Dvorak: tock tock tick
tock Okay, now that short little
jingle is better than all of the
after show.
Adam Curry: Yeah, okay. I wasn't
even going to bring this up. But
John is really out of sorts
today. He feels that the end of
show mixers are no good. They
suck then it's not anything the
way it's supposed to be. It
should be songs parody songs,
which are very hard to do, which
we Got a lot of during the
lockdown but you just hate
everything that we have for to
everything you hate it all. It's
horrible.
John C Dvorak: There's not one
mix in the entire collection.
Adam Curry: John at the
vorak.org If you agree with him,
though, they
John C Dvorak: will all be sent
the same Yeah, yeah, yeah give
Adam bad time. So here's the
classic. And she is a member of
a did to club which is the
disturbance, some sort of idea
you look it up. It's a multiple
personality disorder. So one of
the acronyms, but she's that
doesn't have different
personalities. She changed.
She's a shape Shapeshifter by
all intents and purposes, let's
listen to her.
Unknown: Hi, my name is Tempest.
I'm a member of a DI D system
and several people and asked how
to use the new products that I
use. So here's a quick guide. So
I use they them pronouns, but
primarily I use Z them as
themself. Now this is a little
bit different from the other is
the pronoun which is z 00. So
the G that I use is more related
to see him. I'm a gender I don't
really have any kind of gender
identity, but I have a masculine
body and her world and I am more
masculine leaning, in terms of
like self expression and
compliments that I like things
like that. And like Cameron and
Avery in our system, the not
having a gender thing for me
specifically is related to the
fact that I shapeshifted to a
bird. So the other birds also
use Neo pronouns because they
don't connect to gender in a
human way, specifically, they
don't connect to not having a
gender in the same way that a
human would connect to not
having a gender. So it's not
just the fact that we're non
binary. It's the fact that we're
not entirely human. So these
them are gender neutral and
singular. And you can use them
and listen Vince just like he
would use he him acceptance with
X's and z's found. And that's
really it. It doesn't mean
anything specific. It's not some
complicated usage. It's just an
alternative. I do very much
prefers these them. But they
them is also fine and I won't be
offended if you only use them
for me. But please do try to use
them.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm in total
agreement. Now. I think tick
tock should be banned from the
United States.
John C Dvorak: Let's just see
shapeshifts to do a Berea. What
kind of date is that Chinese
getting from these people? How
many shapeshifters that shape
shift into a bird do we have on
our platform?
Adam Curry: It's the influence
campaign. We need more bird
people bird ladies.
John C Dvorak: So she has di D
dissociative identity disorder?
No. Which is what she said it
was a glow group. She's not by
herself. She's with other girls,
or whatever. They are birds.
They're not people. They're half
human. Mental this mental health
condition someone with di D has
multiple distinct personalities.
Wow. And hers are human and
bird. I'd like to see that and
it's
Adam Curry: what is di D stands
for?
John C Dvorak: Dissociative
Identity Disorder.
Adam Curry: Well, now you bring
that up. I have a disorder I'd
like to discuss.
John C Dvorak: Pod Yes,
Adam Curry: pod. Pod pod pod
speeding use disorder.
John C Dvorak: You're gonna stay
on this even? I think you've
gotten people convinced.
Adam Curry: But I but I there's
some important things. Did you
know for instance, as Tonya
tells us that at the State
Capitol in Denver, proposed
bills are read at 1.5 speed
before members vote on them. I
think that's a problem.
John C Dvorak: I think so to
Sarah's thunder, Sarah explains
a line does
Adam Curry: and this may be
happening in other state houses.
Sarah says I'm so happy you've
talked about this I have a very
bad habit of listening to
everything sped up. I did notice
quite a long time ago when
listening to the show while I
was cooking supper that I felt
extremely anxious. And all my
movements were very quick and as
becoming very impatient with all
of my tasks. I slowed it down to
one point 25 That helped a lot
and I'm going to try to bring it
down to normal since the
evidence has been supporting my
thoughts. garbage man, Mitch.
He's also coming back from pod
speeding from his pod. He said
the truck is loud and I wasn't
keeping up. So I started
listening at 1.3x I started
getting impatient with my family
and particularly my young kids
who have a hard time Express
seeing themselves and getting to
the point. My wife keenly made
the same observation. We are
saving or creating lives twice a
week with this. Do not maybe
John C Dvorak: this accounts for
people who listen to the Ben
Shapiro show at any speed
Adam Curry: being exactly. Or
Russell Brand for that matter.
He's also very touch at 1.5 1.25
By the way, I did not know this.
The British people do not like
Brussel Russell Brand
John C Dvorak: deal he's found a
home
Adam Curry: I mean, there's so
this just article the New
Statesman. Their title of their
article was we have lost Russell
Brand. We have lost him meaning
that he's just become a populist
nut job. But one of our one of
our producers, yes, one of our
producers here says and this is
Sarah who and now she says she's
very tuned into the news she
sends me two to four to five
emails a week that have just a
whole rundown mainly of UK NEWS.
Nobody likes Russell Brand here
and she just go ahead and put it
in the show notes goes on and on
and on. And this happens
sometimes in the UK specifically
No Who else the Brits hate. Phil
Collins. Phil Collins cannot buy
an appearance anymore in the UK.
Why? Because of nanny gate he he
started an affair with his nanny
and then this came out when his
house burned down or something
and in the nanny were running
away I don't remember the exact
story but because of that they
they really despise Phil Collins
he's a horrible man poor they
don't remember why it was so
long ago horrible man horrible
man. Yeah. But that which brings
me to the the answer which we
did not understand the non
responsive remember he was
arguing with your buddy there
Heilmann on the Bill Maher show
and he was going to give an
example of of how MSNBC lies.
And he gave the example of the
ivermectin which is more a CNN
example. But okay, we'll give it
to him. I'm sure they said it.
And John Heilemann was going,
nonresponsive. Yeah, that is a
term only only used in court. A
courtroom or a deposition where
the witness has to answer the
lawyers question. If an answer
evades or does not relate to the
question, the lawyer can say,
Objection, non responsive. So
what this was doing is Heilmann,
who is not a lawyer, as far as I
know, was just being a douche.
Now trying to put him in this
place using some highfalutin
word or term, non responsive.
And it just, it just accentuates
that you really should not be
talking to him anymore. The
guy's lost.
John C Dvorak: We're on that
same show. I pulled a clip that
we didn't play that was I
thought was interesting. All
right, which was mayor, Bill
Maher talking to Bernie Sanders
about the word equity.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we did not I
don't know why neither of us,
but we both seen it, but neither
neither was pulled it, which is
odd. I
John C Dvorak: don't know why,
but whatever. This is so silly.
I play the longer version of it,
but the main part of it which he
says, You know what equity
means? And Bernie says no.
Unknown: Right. I got the clip
here. Dei, are we confusing
equality of opportunity with
trying to guarantee equity and
outcomes? Okay, that's
interesting, because I think
this word equity has come into
the language in the last few
years and before that, we didn't
hear it a lot. And I think a lot
of people hear equity and they
hear a quality that it's the
same word and it's not the same
word in the same concept. So how
would you differentiate between
equity and equality?
Well, the quality we talked
about I don't know what the
answer to that is coming to
think that you know, equality is
equality of opportunity. All
right, we live in a society we
want all people right to have
whatever color your skin equity
I think is more than guarantee
of outcome. Is it not? I think
so. I think that's okay. So
which you can which side you
come down on? Oh,
Adam Curry: equality. Equality.
Yep. Goodbye Bernie.
John C Dvorak: So he's never was
read the memo. He's completely
off on his own as Bernie guy.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah. Poor
guy. We got railroaded there and
Bill and Bill Maher's even
trying to be detailed. He's
trying to be gentle with them.
Well, I think it means this
Bernie. I think that I think it
means more like outcome
oriented, doesn't it? Speaking
of I gotta go Very nice email
from one of our pilot producers
you know, there's been so much
talk about you know, we've had a
lot of close calls and you know
things are definitely happening
in in aviation and he says it is
rampant that if you want to be
it doesn't even matter what your
qualifications are if you want
to be a pilot in today's world
and it does and you know you
have to have a minimum 1500
hours on Jet although Southwest
has has reduced that somewhat if
you want to even be considered
you have to be either a member
of the Women in Aerospace club
so there's all these conferences
and the conferences where the
airline's go to hire people but
the conferences are not for you
know straight white guys, you
know, who who have a lot of
hours might have been in the
military. No, no, no. There's
the gay Pilots Association the
Women in Aviation, the black
Pilots Association, so you
literally have to go to every
single one of these either
pretend to be gay pretend to be
black or pretend to be a woman
which is a real opportunity out
there. Otherwise you just won't
get hired it's horrible
John C Dvorak: Well, that's the
meritocracy is down the tubes.
Yeah, well, this
Adam Curry: is exactly what you
get. Then you get and you get
crashes. Yes, apart. Well, and
maybe that's all intentional
because of how long have they
not wanted to have the Next Gen
system where it's pilotless as
an interesting theory, we don't
need pilots. Oh, look up there
crashing it's gotten so bad we
need these pilots and where do
you get that? Where do you get
these type of systems from from
the military industrial complex.
It's all for the war machine.
Sadly,
John C Dvorak: you got to I do
have a couple of random clips. I
want to I wouldn't mind playing
Sure.
Adam Curry: We got some time the
donation segment is going to be
pretty short actually.
John C Dvorak: By the same as
usual. Let's go to you know we
talked about Ukraine a little
while ago. We haven't heard from
this woman for a while Claire
Daly you know her she's the
she's the outspoken Irish woman
in front of the EU parliament is
taking the place of Nigel
Farage, haranguing everybody,
Adam Curry: but she does it a
little better. I like what
Claire Daly does cheat. She, you
know, we were tired of Nigel I
like what Claire is doing.
John C Dvorak: Well, in the
Nigel has been out of the
picture for a while he was at
the CPAC thing. He wasn't even
good.
Adam Curry: Oh, goodness. It
didn't even see a clip of him.
That's how bad he was. Okay.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's Yeah.
All right. Here's Claire.
Unknown: Thank you President.
One year on us. The war in
Ukraine continues, when voices
everywhere should be calling for
a ceasefire and peace. This
resolution is driving us in the
opposite direction. So I proudly
voted against it. It pedals the
latest slide that this is not
now about defending Ukraine.
It's about Ukraine must win.
What does that even mean? Last
April, there was a deal on the
table, which would have seen
Russia withdraw in return for
Ukrainian non NATO membership.
But Ukraine's western friends
killer clown, Boris Johnson, and
NATO rocked into town and told
them to keep fighting. The
result, six cities devastated
four provinces illegally annexed
108 billion euros in age, which
the people of Ukraine are going
to have to pay back over
decades, global food and energy
crisis is this winning. Ordinary
people don't win in wars.
They're cannon fodder in the
gains of others. And you can
shout glory in here all your
life, but there's no glory in
the grave. And only graves come
out of this folly. It's time for
people and the silent majority
all over Europe to take to the
streets this weekend. And demand
peace and an end to the war.
Adam Curry: Oh, is that this
weekend? Is that when the
meeting is? Yeah, I think so.
Well, we won't see any of it,
but it goes. I mean, you saw the
protests in France regarding the
the pension age.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, two years,
by the way, they've just changed
it at all. They're gonna jack it
up a bit, but not up from 62
Right now it's 62. But they want
to move to 64 and they're not
putting up with changing
anything.
Adam Curry: And in the US are
talking about moving it to 70
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that makes
more sense.
Adam Curry: And no one's doing
it and no, oh, Yan was
John C Dvorak: whenever I knew
I'd get screwed did my because
my wife is like in this kind of
situation where she gets her
Have she managed to she latched
on early? And what is the
rationale say, oh, yeah, we're
gonna get screwed the baby
boomers get all the money, you
know, instead of doing something
about it? Well,
Adam Curry: I mean, because I
think you can start, you can
start drawing down on your
social security at 62. I believe
that you get, I think so yeah,
significantly less than a
smaller amount of money which,
like $1,200 a month, which, you
John C Dvorak: know, it depends
on how much it can vary from
person to person and how much
they put in to the system.
Adam Curry: Well, believe me,
I'm gonna get $0 per month.
Yeah. See,
John C Dvorak: there you go.
This is you. This is an example
of what we hear this instead of
rioting in the streets.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, I didn't pay
enough in. I only paid in during
the MTV days. I mean, do you
automatically pay in when you
pay your taxes? Does that all
happen automatically?
John C Dvorak: That depends
sometimes, yes. But it's part
Adam Curry: of FICA if I'm not
mistaken.
John C Dvorak: I don't know
about that.
Adam Curry: Well, I go, I'm just
going to presume that a
John C Dvorak: mile and know
what you're gonna get if you
haven't already looked it up.
You could be getting two grand,
you don't know?
Adam Curry: Well, Tina is gonna
get 1200 a month at 62. And
she's saying, okay, so what if I
wait until 65? How, how much
will the dollar be devalued? At
that point? Should I take start
taking stuff earlier and
invested in something? Which I
think is probably the way to go?
Yeah. But anyway,
John C Dvorak: I have mixed
feelings about maybe took out
early. Yeah, she did a
calculation with a bean counter.
And it turned out that you could
get you know, you unless you
live to be 95,
Adam Curry: which I'm planning
on 98. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: You should
probably not take it out early
then.
Adam Curry: Okay. What was the
other protest? Oh, yeah.
Germany's also protesting. They
don't want you they don't want
any more refugees from anywhere.
Not from Ukraine, not from
anywhere. No, we don't want it
then. No, no, no, Europe is it's
a tinderbox. I'm telling you,
it's a tinderbox. People are
gonna start getting really,
really angry about things.
John C Dvorak: So I have another
clip. That's kind of funny. This
is we haven't heard from this
guy for a while. I think he's in
Texas. And I think this was at
the Texas Senate. And I don't
think this is an old one. It
might be but it just showed up.
And, but it's the same kind of
thing he likes to do. This is
Alex stringer. And Alex
stringers, the guy who likes to
go before city consoles and
bitch and moan about stuff, and
then slip in a bunch of crazy
comments.
Adam Curry: Is that stringer or
Stein? Alex? Alex stringer is a
different guy.
John C Dvorak: I'm pretty sure
it's Alex stringer. This one.
Right, but
Adam Curry: I'm saying Alex, the
guy who does all the all the
crazy stuff is Alex Stein 99.
John C Dvorak: And this is not
Alex Stein. This is Alex
stringer. Alex stringer
Adam Curry: is a guy in Austin.
He's the guy who ran for mayor.
I actually voted for him. He's
the pedicab guy.
John C Dvorak: Well, that could
be that maybe that didn't maybe
he's not the guy goes from place
to place now. But he does pull
one here in Austin. Wearing a
mask, so you can't really see
who it is. And I know it went on
forever. I only clipped the big
I cut it off where I thought
it's lacked being as funny.
Unknown: Good afternoon,
Senators. My name is Alex
stringer. I'm speaking in
support of Senate Bill 287.
Because, listen, we got to
protect our safety, and we need
to protect our kids. And you
know, we got to be honest here.
Okay. In order to do that, we
got to realize that the greatest
threat to our safety is our
fellow Americans. And this is
especially true about these
Magga hat wearing terrorists who
infest our state with their
hateful rhetoric, right? Listen,
I'm triple vaccinated and
boosted and I've gotten COVID
Four times, okay. You want to
know why? Because these people
they refuse to wear a mask and
they refuse to get vaccinated
and you have to understand these
people, they could have killed
me, and they wouldn't even care.
You want to know why? Because
they are murderers and they are
terrorists. All right. And then
let's talk about my wife. She's
immunocompromised with stage
five testicular cancer. She has
left the house in three years.
Because of these Maga Q and ons,
alright. And these people that
are murderers, they deserve to
spend the rest of their lives in
prison. And this is how we need
to treat these people. And I
understand that, you know, I'm
really glad that we have good
Republicans, you know, like
Senator Hoffman and David
Phelan, and you guys fully agree
with me on this. Look, I took my
five year old son Karla, to a
drag show last weekend in
Dallas, and we are regulars at
our schools drag queen story
hour and the drag queens and
minor attracted persons
performing for our kids. They
are amazing people and they are
role models. You know, my son
Carl even started transitioning.
When sprinkles the drag queen
sat on his lap and gave him her
thong after the performance
stains at all. And when these
Republicans want to take the joy
away from My five year old, it's
only because they want to
exterminate the LGBTQ community
because our hearts are filled
with hatred.
Adam Curry: Yeah, stringers.
Good guy. He's Yes, he is the
pedicab driver in Austin. And
his platform was put a dome over
Austin and give the teachers
flame throwers. Which I thought
was a great platform and I voted
for him. as well. While we're on
that then crazy, crazy vaccine
mandates, boosters masks. This
is just so poetically beautiful.
You have been complaining
throughout COVID masks are not a
good idea. Why because criminals
will use them to Jack stuff up
took a while. But you're right.
That's not what's happening all
throughout New York City. And
now we have a reverse mandate,
no masks mandated. We're not
asking
Unknown: the bodega to tell the
person when they walk in Hey, so
you have to take off your mask.
There's a sign at the door that
the bodega Association helped us
create. Let's be clear on it.
The Bodega Association helped us
create a sign that says please
Upon entering, remove your mask,
and you can put it back on. What
about garments. Think about this
one moment, as I looked at some
of the videos, I looked at about
30 videos of people who
committed the robberies in in
Canada smoke shops, and in
bodegas. But I use one of those
videos, you saw the person
inside walking around with his
mask on. And if you did a real
analysis of it, you see that,
hey, this guy is up to
something. So if you're refusing
to remove your mask, don't
confront the person. But now
you'll say wait a minute. Now
let me pay attention to this
person that is in this store
lingered around with the mask we
got we've gotten so used to the
mass that we don't realize this
is a large volume of people that
are winning, not because the
COVID because they're criminals.
Adam Curry: No kidding.
John C Dvorak: Well, that
remains. There's another thing
going around yo DC had a they
tried to soften a bunch of
rules.
Adam Curry: I have a clip. I
have
John C Dvorak: I had two clips
because I have they usually get
a clip with the cop.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I got
home on the second because it's
very short. It'll probably set
up your clip on. Yes, here it
is. This one
Unknown: ally. Let me start with
you. Because right now I believe
curry Shan Pierre is really
struggling to explain this
decision of the president who is
for DC statehood for DC home
rule, but clearly is nervous
about the politics of this. This
crime bill that DC city council
passed over the objections of
their own mayor.
Yeah, actually, up until this
point, the White House had just
said that they were not in favor
of the House voting to get this
crime bill but they hadn't
really talked about the
possibility of Biden of
President Biden vetoing it. Now
he's coming out and sort of
explaining why the reason behind
his reasoning he tech, he
tweeted just a short time ago,
quote, I support DC statehood
and home rule. But I don't
support some of the changes DC
Council put forward over the
mayor's objections such as
lowering penalties for
carjackings. If the Senate votes
to overturn what DC council did,
I will sign it. This is sort of
a political test for him under
shows not only as you mentioned
that he is in favor of keeping
that home rule that unique
position by Congress to sort of
meddle in the affairs of the DC
city city council's and DC
voters. But it also shows ahead
of 2024 where President Biden
could be going with this you can
imagine had he chose to veto
this crime bill that's expected
to pass in the Senate when it
does come up next sometime next.
Adam Curry: Did she say he chose
she said
Unknown: ahead of 2024 where
President Biden could be going
with this you can imagine had he
chose to veto this crime bill
that's expected to pass in the
Senate when it does come up next
sometime next week. You can
imagine how much Republicans
would have seized on that and
use that 2024 for possible
campaign as
Adam Curry: alright so there's a
lot of thing going on a lot of
things going on with this one is
with DC statehood, which we
should probably explain I don't
think many people understand it.
Yeah, they
John C Dvorak: keep wanting to
turn dc into a stake so they get
an extra two senators. Democrat
that's just to get two
Democratic senators to pack the
the Senate and get one you get
one House of Representatives.
Adam Curry: You get that
horrible woman. Norton homes. No
nor horns. Oh, I met her man.
She's a scammer. Ah, she's like
she was. I had a very bad
experience with her a long time
ago.
John C Dvorak: I think she I
think her whole political career
began with masturbation clubs.
Adam Curry: I met her In the
context of I think Obama care.
And he or she, she co sponsored
a movie that I kind of got roped
into to goes to this premiere.
And is this guy named something,
Wendell? And he was it turns out
he's just a huge shill for the
for the, for the medical
community. And she was all in
but anyway, continue
John C Dvorak: back to the crime
bill. Here's the Here's the
rundown. This is from I believe
this is from Matt NTD.
Unknown: Washington DC is police
chief says to keep homicides
down. The district needs to keep
bad guys with guns in jail. He
spoke alongside Washington's
Mayor about public safety.
Metropolitan Police Chief Robert
Conte also said the average
homicide suspect has been
arrested 11 times prior to them
committing a homicide. County
said if bad guys are in jail,
they won't be in Washington
community shooting people. Last
month Democratic Congresswoman
Angie Craig decried the
district's crime laws after she
was assaulted by a homeless man.
She said she was his 13th victim
and he was committing crime for
almost a decade. She said in
many cases he received no
punishment for his crimes. DC
City Council was forced to pull
a bill that would have made the
district even softer on crime.
Adam Curry: I do have an issue
with this report. Why is it
always bad guys? Women don't
commit crimes.
John C Dvorak: Well, it was you
know, this was clipped yesterday
on International Women's Day. So
they don't do that on
International Women's Day. Got
it. I mean, why? Why even quoted
cop lists. Let's listen to this
guy who's the chief of police.
And Mimi sent me this and she
says, you know if this was a
white chief, they wouldn't be
able to say what he's about to
say,
Unknown: well, we got to do we
really want to see homicides go
down is keep bad guys with guns
in jail because when they in
jail, they can't be in community
shooting people. So when people
talk about what we're going to
do different what we should do
different what we need to do
different. That's the thing that
we need to do different. We need
to keep violent people in jail.
Right now. The average homicide
suspect the average homicide
suspect has been arrested 11
times prior to them committing a
homicide. That is a problem.
That is a problem.
Adam Curry: Wow. I have a
thought on this. So Austin right
now is in deep trouble with
their police. They were uh,
Austin, Texas, big proponents of
defund the police they defunded
the police to the tune of $150
million. They did not negotiate
in good faith for the new police
contract, which means that
cadets, there's no cadets,
there's no new inflow of cops.
Right now. They are over 200
police officers short. At the
end of this month, the current
contract expires they have not
been able to negotiate a new
contract with the police. There
will be an additional 90
officers who will be retiring
and I don't know if you've seen
the videos, Austin, but crime is
rampant that just taken over
intersections, right where we
used to live to do burnouts and
drag races. There was a Suzanne
Santos said that her neighbors
had been broken into in broad
daylight. So this is happening
all across America. And I think
it's very possible that we're
going back to 2024. Let's go
back to 1994. The 1994 Crime
Bill championed by Senator
Joseph Biden, this is when we
had the predators remember that?
Put it on the on the cover of
Time Magazine, the little kid
all we got dead nine year old
predators. I have a feeling that
they've created the problem.
We've got the reaction and the
solution is yeah, now let's lock
them all up again. Yep, I agree.
Lock them up. Lock them up.
Especially the black ones like
bigger jails. Yep. Yep. Which of
course everyone's you know,
invested in Bill Gates and isn't
what's his face here in Omaha?
Isn't he invested in the
Corrections Corporation of
America?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. The name of
that company?
Adam Curry: Of course of course
they gotta hide it but you do. I
think it's coming. I think we're
getting a 2024 crime bill and
everyone's going to be on board
with it and massively refund the
police and the jails and it's
going to be a crackdown like
you've never seen before. And
it's gonna could
John C Dvorak: be as can be
avoided by creating a shanty
towns.
Adam Curry: JCD for President
everybody. Great idea. Speaking
of law, Ron DeSantis now on my
hit list Just this morning
Unknown: Governor Ron DeSantis
is floating a new offer to bring
tennis star Novak Djokovic into
the country to play in a Florida
tournament.
I would run a boat from the
Bahamas here for him I would do
that. 100% never did you said
Adam Curry: you'd never hear
that it's 100% 100% Am I would
do that
Unknown: 100% Joe KOVITCH never
got the COVID vaccine and is
therefore barred from entering
the US. DeSantis wrote to
President Biden this week asking
for a waiver to allow Joe
KOVITCH to play at the Miami
open this month, saying The time
has come to give up the fiction
that the COVID vaccines remain a
necessary tool to promote public
health to Santas a potential
2024 presidential candidate
acknowledges the boatlift idea
may not work, but I think his
people are looking at it. And
I'm not sure that's the way they
want to come into the into the
country which I understand. I
think it'd be a great moment but
you know,
and the CDC website confirms the
vaccine requirement applies to
travelers by sea, as well as by
air we expect
everyone to abide by our
country's rule whether as a
participant or spectator.
world's number one tennis player
missed last year is Australian
Open due to his vaccination
status. He has said he'd rather
skip major tournaments than get
vaccinated. Are
you prepared to forego the
chance to be the greatest player
to ever picked up a racket?
Statistically, because you feel
so strongly about this job? Yes.
Adam Curry: And you know, props
to Joe Joe. Joe kovich. He's
principled, he's principles. I
know. I agree with that. But But
Governor DeSantis piece of crap
I don't want to be like all
emotional about it. But I cannot
have people come into visit me
here until at least May when I'm
sure they'll extend it again
because of this bullcrap
requirement. And we're the, I
think, the last country in the
world that has it and instead of
being presidential, and DeSantis
doing here's what you could have
done. We need to drop this for
all people just like on the
southern border. Or you may be
you should have said hey, you
know what, why don't you just go
to Mexico and just walk across
the border, because that you can
do that I in
John C Dvorak: fact, that would
have been making that suggestion
instead of you know, piloting a
boat
Adam Curry: from the Bahamas,
the Bahamas or whatever,
wherever.
John C Dvorak: But just telling
him to mock the situation over
the southern border. But no, he
did. I was poorly done poorly
done. I agree. I mean, I hate
his guts because of it. But
yeah,
Adam Curry: I do. I'm very mad
about good for you. I'm very I'm
very mad about this. It's It's
insane. That that is still in
place. And there's an end
there's the only answer we get
well, we what's important have
everyone vaccinated a really
John C Dvorak: doesn't the
vaccine does if the vaccine
worked.
Adam Curry: It would maybe would
do something with it. vaccine
doesn't work. There's a there's
a new avenue for for vaccinating
children. There's a new way to
do it. Now. Why is this
happening?
John C Dvorak: To nasal
Adam Curry: Tennessee, no,
Tennessee. Now this is not the
COVID vaccination. This is
another one of our favorites
HPV.
Unknown: It's the Republicans in
the state house that are passing
that a lot of this stuff. You
know, last year we had a bill in
Tennessee by my republican and
Senator that introduced HPV
vaccinations for dentists to
give minors without consent,
parental consent. I'm thinking
that says Tennessee even
California doesn't let dentists
do that.
Adam Curry: No, they will. It's
a great idea. I'm just gonna
numb me up here for a second.
Wow. Yeah, big, big foreign
blue. I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna give you a
clip of the day for that
discovery. Thank you. That's
unbelievable that they would
even and it was Republicans.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: it big. You're just
Big Pharma. Big Pharma has us by
the balls. You can't fight it.
Or we can but Big Pharma is
very, very powerful.
John C Dvorak: You can buy just
like unfortunate they've taken
over the media. And so that's
problem number one.
Adam Curry: Well, let me give
you give you two more phony ads.
You okay, well, I'm going to do
this one first, because I want
to have the kicker be the
kicker, obviously. So this is
NPR, which you'll hear in a
moment is very obvious is NPR.
Unknown: And we're very excited
about the mRNA vaccines. You
know why it's the platform, the
pandemic help to speed the
development of a new class of
vaccines, the mRNA shots against
COVID made by Pfizer and
moderna. Now, scientists hope to
create mRNA vaccines against
other diseases for which
traditional vaccines have not
worked. Can you guess which one
which one is coming? It fits
right with your shantytown?
John C Dvorak: Well, there would
be A cold vaccine thing
shantytown, man think shanty
town shanty town, cholera.
Adam Curry: Close. No, no,
that'll be next
Unknown: and Paris and read
Eisenman traveled to the
University of Cape Town in South
Africa, where they report a
breakthrough against
tuberculosis.
mRNA. Vaccines are like a plug
and play system, plug and play
system. If you know what
proteins on a virus or
bacterium, a person's immune
system can latch on to to kill
it. You insert the genetic code
for those proteins into the
vaccine.
Adam Curry: And yeah, it'd be
great if it worked big on a
boom, you're done.
Unknown: But when it comes to
the tuberculosis, bacteria, TB
for short, figuring out what
those target proteins should be
is
tricky. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I don't want to play
the whole report, because it's
just boring where they found it
all. But I love the Plug and
Play platform.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what
Malone was discussing in a clip
replay some months back. Yeah.
But the CIA, they did these
things, because of the potential
for biological warfare, get to
get a quick turnaround. He's
something fast. And this, it
would be great. If it worked.
Adam Curry: So we've been
talking about ozempic. And how
that is being prescribed by Pete
by doctors, for people who are
overweight, obese for a fast,
rapid and intense weight loss.
Much of the chagrin of people
who actually need this for
diabetes type one, I believe,
and so type two. Okay, I could I
could be wrong.
John C Dvorak: Diabetes type
one, you need insulin. I'm
sorry,
Adam Curry: you're right, type
two. And so they've now broken
it up. And you have the
expensive, but I forget the
name, but some other not snappy
sounding name with a jingle.
That's that will be prescribed
for the type two diabetes, but
the Oh ozempic Now that is of
course just for weight loss,
Hollywood's doing it that you've
seen the ad campaign. It is all
over the place, everyone can
sing it. And now we have an
acquisition.
Unknown: weightwatchers is
buying the subscription
telehealth platform sequence
making a play in the obesity
drug business. The move would
give weightwatchers customers
access to doctors who can write
prescriptions for medications
like ozempic, the diabetes drug
that can act as an appetite
suppressant, Weight Watchers,
executives are touting the
medical weight loss approach.
And what this collaboration will
allow us to do is to have a
member enter a pathway and
answer questions to assess their
appropriateness.
Important point is that these
medications are not instead of a
diet and physical activity
program, they're to help you to
comply with a program like that
comply,
but we're already seeing a
shortage of drugs like ozempic
amid concern about people using
it who don't have serious
medical conditions.
Adam Curry: This is what the big
pharma did during COVID. This is
this is the the not discussed
trick. they polled telehealth so
telehealth doctors, all they
have to do is have a
conversation with you on your
app. What What's your problem? I
can't get it up. Boom, Viagra.
What's your problem? I feel
depressed. Boom, antidepressant.
What's your problem? Look at me,
I don't fit on the screen, boom
ozempic without seeing the
person in person without any
real history knowledge. They
become drug dealers and I I
can't accuse them because I
haven't figured it out yet. But
I think what is this better
health? The some, some thing
that that I hear advertised a
lot on podcast is if you're
depressed, if you want to talk
to somebody, I think they may
also be prescribing
antidepressants, which of course
is the real problem we have.
It's everyone's on a pill. And
now you just get up on the
weightwatchers owned telehealth
app. Oh man I'm having so I love
the food I have but I'm still I
have so many cravings. Oh we
have we can write you
subscription prescription for
Olympic. It's incredible. And
people have no idea that this is
being done to them. In fact, we
should get in on this action. I
don't know how well we can
create a telehealth. We got
doctors AAA doing. We can
totally have a telehealth app.
And we can prescribe anything we
want.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no. Yeah,
no. Yeah, no. Yeah, no,
Adam Curry: it's bad.
John C Dvorak: They get a kicker
clip. Is that it?
Adam Curry: No, that's it. I
wish I had a kicker. No, I have
other clips. But let me see. Did
I have a kicker on that?
John C Dvorak: I have a plane
crash clip. That's a good way
It'll lead into the thing. Okay,
plane crash always or actually
forget it. Here's a good clip.
Just a podcast story.
Adam Curry: Oh goodness. Am I
gonna hate it?
Unknown: No. Okay. It was like a
scene out of a thriller movie. A
YouTuber just finished recording
his podcast. And while he was
sitting against the window at a
cafe on Saturday, this happened
because of quiet in here. Just
as he uttered those words and
SUV plowed into the glass behind
Nathan Reeves, his friend and a
podcast guest, the horrifying
moment caught on camera was at
the touts week cafe in Houston.
The cafe was filled with more
than a dozen people at that
moment. Luckily, no one was
injured. Local police said a
woman drove her Chevrolet
through a red light and struck
another car before crashing into
the cafe. The video was uploaded
to Reeves YouTube channel
November Romeo, and has amassed
10s of 1000s of views
Adam Curry: and I'll do anything
for views on that YouTube won't
do anything they can do you
think this was an accident?
John C Dvorak: Well, I don't
know if anyone wanted to drive a
truck to a plate glass window,
wasn't it? i Yeah. Well, I don't
think the reporting was an
action but I think that the
Adam Curry: here's what I'll
say. A YouTube video is not a
podcast. I agree. That's what
I'm gonna say. Okay,
John C Dvorak: with that I'm in
agreement with you. And with
that, I'd
Adam Curry: like to thank you
for your courage today in the
morning to you the man who put
the seat in the killer clown
ladies and gentlemen, please say
hello to my friend on the other
end. Mr. John C. Drug All right.
John C Dvorak: morning to you,
Mr. Adam curry in the morning
shift to see boots on the ground
feet in the air such in the
water and all the games and
nights out there in the morning
to
Adam Curry: the trolls and the
troll room. Let me count on
right away. standard fare 1863.
That's about normal. I think we
haven't gone up haven't gone
down. Kind of the same. Would
you say?
John C Dvorak: I think Dettol
number may be bogus. I think he
just is produced the same exact
number every time is almost the
same exact number last Thursday.
Adam Curry: Oh, let me see if I
hit it again. No, I don't know.
18. What I say 1863 1823. Now
Oh, the minute I said it said it
went down 40. They left the
left. That's what happens. The
trolls are leaving that all I
can't listen to this. Oh, I
can't listen, you're missing the
best content in the universe. It
always happens in the donation
segment. And there's always 5%
of people who drop off because I
couldn't see this and come back
up.
John C Dvorak: But why would
they drop off in the chat room
of all things because
Adam Curry: they got important
things to do? Like you know,
listen to Ben Shapiro. I don't
know. I don't know what they're
doing. You can join the troll
room very easily going to troll
room.io And right there, you can
log into the chat Listen Live to
the stream or get a brand new
and modern podcast app and
podcast apps.com you'll be
alerted with with a ping that
says hey, it's time. It's time
to listen no agenda live and if
you can then you just tap on it
you get your your your troll
room, you get your live stream,
or you just use that app for the
podcast when it's been released.
Because you can import all of
your favorite podcasts from your
old and legacy podcast app as
podcast apps.com Of course you
can always follow us at no
agenda social.com I am Adam at
no agenda social.com John is
John C. Dvorak and no agenda
social.com we regularly engage
in in chats that which you can
follow from across the fediverse
which is the future of social
media. And it's a great way to
have although even though we
don't have algorithms there's a
lot of drama that goes on Have
you noticed the drama sometimes?
No oh gosh oh my gosh. Like what
oh people get mad at each other
and oh boy oh no, he said
something anti trans and all the
trans people left
John C Dvorak: in the chat room
Adam Curry: there no in no
agenda social oh
John C Dvorak: yes sir yeah
you're right there's a every so
often there's little
Adam Curry: drama room is shed
Drake Irma, she had drama, like
really people and and then
they'll start DMing us, which I
do not respond to. I did not
respond. Well. I
John C Dvorak: just don't
remember to respond to it. I
wanted to well, by accident, I
could have gotten that on
accident. I click on that DM
thing. Yeah, and a bunch of
messages that have been left Oh
my God, because they don't give
you it. It's not like Twitter
says you gotta you gotta DM
here, buddy.
Adam Curry: Now it's even worse
because you can just be going
through your timeline, you may
not see the little, the little
icon down below which shows
which indicates that it's a
private message. And you can
just respond to it and then
before you know, and also people
tagging us on on messages on
threads that are 50 messages
long about something that we
don't care about, which is which
is most law most Follow us there
and of course we there is one
conversation which I always
enjoy that's the artists and no
agenda artists they always
communicate they're about what
they're what they've been making
during listening during the live
show. This is part of our value
for value system which works
incredibly well for us. Anyone
can replicate it we don't take
any creepy corporate money no
commercials, no ads, just it's
all from you, the producers who
send us your time talent or
treasure and the the talent and
also the time is, is really
reflected in what the artists
do. And with that, we want to
thank the artists who made the
artwork for episode 1535 We call
that pod speeding Yes There you
go. Roger roundy with a just a a
fabulous piece we knew it was
going to upset people had no
idea would upset so many people.
But this was the art does it
does it evokes an emotion and
that's all you really want good
batter and
John C Dvorak: this is what I
would even consider Roger roundy
art quote unquote
Adam Curry: well it was a good
piece
John C Dvorak: I mean, I was it
was a graphics piece it was it
was nice. I liked it. Well we
both liked it we picked it
Adam Curry: yes it was a you've
got vasectomy face and we think
was a very accurate
representation of vasectomy face
John C Dvorak: board lesbian
young young lesbian
Adam Curry: let's take a look at
the other pieces we looked at I
know there was a close second
which you used for the
newsletter and that was by was
at Taunton Neil named Penny Ben
which was the
John C Dvorak: the hot speeding
anxiety was the name of it Yeah,
it was I just liked that piece a
lot because the person had
nervous look in the bug eyes and
biting their nails is great
Adam Curry: and we would have
chosen that had we not chosen
pod speeding as the title
John C Dvorak: which also is
exactly correct which also
Adam Curry: eliminate any other
of the pretty good pod speeding
images let's see what else we
had which you know we had the
the mastermind with the
happiness meter we had Thompson
Neil with a no PageSpeed and
connoisseur blogger even with a
1.5 with a green X through it
then we had some what else do we
have here? Russell Brand. We had
Adam curry as governor of Texas
now. We had a What else Oh, the
hydrogen being the champagne of
energy. The here's a here's a
tip if you have to understand
the art by reading the title of
the piece, it's no good. And it
just will not work for us. You
know, because we can mouse over
John C Dvorak: work for the
audience because they don't know
what the title of the piece is.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: I mean what else was
there a lot of pointing at Fox
News Liar Liar. It was a lot of
pod speed. People liked the pod
speeding stuff it just you know,
a lot of champagne stuff. So
yeah, the vasectomy face was so
outrageous. And then we just
felt it was time it was time
again to to bring this up in the
conversation I would have to say
it's one of our last times
because the hate was pretty
severe. A lot of people not
digging a lot a lot of victims
as we say even on the newsletter
John C Dvorak: yeah the the
Yeah, well we we've lost people
from our opinions about Ukraine.
And then you know, vasectomy is
is a long thing. So this is a
new a new complaint. And I've
got to know today you know, I
don't like you guys you're never
gonna get my money because I
your stance on EVs.
Adam Curry: I don't think in
fact, you've actually we
John C Dvorak: very rarely
talked about EVs.
Adam Curry: No, and you've even
done reports on different EVs in
the past you would you would get
them from the manufacturer. You
drive them around, you'd report
on them. Yeah. And what is our
stance on EVs? Besides
John C Dvorak: Oh, no, it's just
that there is a vehicle you can
buy. Yeah, we don't really have
any negative stance. I mean,
Adam Curry: well, I do. My
problem is freedom. You have no
freedom. You're tethered. I
John C Dvorak: agree with that.
No. Well, we do have I say,
Okay, we have a negative stance.
We, we do, but we like gasoline
engines.
Adam Curry: We don't want it on
them. We don't shit on them all
the time to elicit the exact
words you use. So and you know
what, this also completely
negates the, the accusation that
well, they just pander to the
people who give them money.
Nope. Nope. We do not pander to
anybody. Now we don't have to
know. Why not.
John C Dvorak: We don't have to
because we don't want to. We
make it a point. We do is a
sales pitch. One of those
reasons that people should be
listening to shows because we
don't have somebody telling us
what to talk about now. Yeah, if
you don't like our attitude
about EVs do what that guy does.
Does you know why people use
anything as an issue? I've
always said this when you do
soliciting, people use anything
as an excuse not to donate.
That's right. Oh, you know, Adam
likes the color red. i You suck.
I'm not gonna donate because you
don't like you'd like to color
red. I mean, it's just not to
donate.
Adam Curry: It goes like this. I
was about to donate. But then
Adam hated the color red. And I
decided no, that's my favorite.
I was. I was up for weeks. I've
been thinking time to donate. I
was just about to donate. And
then you said something that
pissed me off. So now I'm not
gonna donate? Yeah, that's all
right. All right. That is our
that is the true exit strategy.
When people stopped donating the
we exit. So it's up to you. It's
not even up to us to find one.
It's up to you to not not make
us go away like the like your
favorite shop. It is. Anyway,
thank you to all the artists
Thank you, of course, to Roger
roundy great work that he didn't
even he really did not expect
this. I in fact, I forget who it
was. Someone said that'll
that'll. Hell will freeze over
before that.
John C Dvorak: Somebody said or
he said, the thing is, you know,
Roger Brown, he's a fine artist.
He is in fine artists usually
don't aren't competitive artists
in the graphic. Visual arts
area, we have to you know, you
it's different. It's a different
business. And so you don't don't
never have the fine sense of
somebody. There's a number of
people that we have doing art
that are just, I mean, many
amateurs and they just have a
sense of it. But they're not
fine artists, you know, who do
symbolic art is big. He does big
pieces. So there's
Adam Curry: 200 More trolls who
dropped off because they just
can't stand they traveled like
flies, they can't stand the
donation segment. Oh, you know
what, you're just rude to your
fellow producers and you're
missing good content. I'm
telling you, it always happens.
So with that, we'd like to thank
our executive and Associate
Executive producers for episode
1536 And we're gonna kick it off
with Andy proximation from
Leawood, Kansas, who pops in
with a cool $1,000 and says in
the morning in September 2021 I
made a donation that made me
eligible for knighthood but I
put my note into Pay Pal or
otherwise messed it up and you
didn't get it unfortunately that
does happen it could have been
you it could have been us you
never really know. Anyway,
here's another donation
insincere thanks for the work
thought and perspective you guys
and all the producers put into
each show I'd like to be given

John C Dvorak: you're live in
Texas I really don't know. Bert
answer when you do a brisket.
Oh. You have a slogan for 14 or
so hours and you get to the ends
of it get kind of crusty and
burnt looking and that and those
are considered delicacies and
you cut them off and you either
give them Somebody ordered some
other brisket and you give them
a little of these as a bonus.
Well, nobody hands no delicious.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: no one has ever
given me that bonus. Shame on
John C Dvorak: you. You've
probably had him and you don't
know it. That's the thing.
Because you wouldn't you
wouldn't think of anything
special if you don't know what
you're eating.
Adam Curry: And Andy winds up
saying stay safe everyone. Thank
you very much. Appreciate it.
John C Dvorak: Squeak you can
read this one because his way
out of my league spreadsheet,
Scott Moskovitz and Post Falls
Idaho you might want to cut it
down a little bit. It's a little
lengthy.
Adam Curry: He comes in with the
striper number seven seven,
which he calls the slot machine
donation Eero sevens, which when
added to my previous donation of
a row of ducks makes me a
knight. If you'd be so kind to
kick in a penny. Oh, I miss you.
Where's my penny jar? There it
is. No agenda brings tremendous
value to to so many respite of
clarity in a world overflowing
with seemingly demonic forces,
running gaslighting ops around
the clock. Here's a bit of value
back out in the form of
treasure. He says despite having
only discovered you in 2020, the
show's quickly ascended to the
top of my Mount Rushmore of life
changing influences. This is a
category so rare, as to be
neatly non existent and your
product has reflected this
decision in a way that makes it
almost otherworldly. It's hard
to adequately describe but
suffice to say we appreciate the
heck out of you. out of it, the
import of your vow of poverty is
not lost on the audience. Put

a insane laugh and a don't. Raph
thank you for your courage. So
Scott, did you think people
should know that's not the right
one. Oh, sorry. I hate that when
that happens. I should have
looked at the time. Screw your
freedom. Where's it?
John C Dvorak: I thought they
can do it. It's good for your
freedom
Shut up.

Flanger
Adam Curry: we used to we used
to do that flanging. We call it
flanging. You say flanger. Oh,
it's probably Flanger Flanger
flanger. And the way you do it
is you get to reel to real decks
with identical recordings, or
you could do with two
turntables, you get the same
record, and you and you start
them at the same time, and you
kind of sync them up and if they
are almost exactly in sync, then
you point then you can get that
flanging effect, which used to
be kind of the only effect we
could make back in the day
before before reverb. We had a
reverb and then you could make
the really long reverb, the rim
or the reverse echo, where you
record something with the echo
and then you take the tape off,
flip it around and run it
backwards. We used to do that a
lot.
John C Dvorak: It's good times
Adam Curry: very good times back
