Unknown: Adam curry Jhansi
Devorah
on April 23 2023 This is your
award winning combination media
assassination episode 1549
This is no agenda
counting 15 minutes in the city
and broadcasting live from the
heart number Texas Hill Country
here in the morning everybody
I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where if you step
in a driveway we shoot you I'm
Jesse Devorah
Unknown: it's called an
accidental shooting
John C Dvorak: there's all these
Somebody just sent a note in
saying you know these shootings
all of a sudden out of the blue
a ball falls in the yard a guy
shoots him somebody goes into
the door knocks shot yeah and
there's all these stories are
all over the country it's almost
like it's a no okay,
Adam Curry: okay, well, we're
gonna talk about something else
but now you've led me right to
it I have
John C Dvorak: but before I say
that's the OP I'm going to ask
the big question about this up
okay. If this all this is going
on, where's all the dead does
the dead Seventh Day Adventists
and these and these religious
guys who come to
Unknown: doors left and right
where are they? They're killing
the wrong age. Jehovah
John C Dvorak: Witnesses I want
to know what and when the house.
Unknown: Kinsley White was shot
in the face while playing by
Adam Curry: this. This is deep
by the way, and there's a reason
for this. You'll hear this
you'll hear what's going on at
home
Unknown: just outside of
Charlotte. Her father was
seriously wounded. Inside
Adam Curry: this kid is dynamite
made for televisions. My daddy
in the
Unknown: back. Witnesses say a
neighbor began shooting. A
basketball rolled onto his yard
Tuesday. Kinsley had a bullet
fragment removed from her cheek.
Her father, who reportedly tried
to shoot back remains
hospitalized and will yell for
late today, the alleged shooter
24 year old Robert Singletary
turned himself into authorities
in Florida, as the number of
victims of shootings caused by
seemingly innocent mistakes
mounts so does the fury nearly
1000 miles away, these mothers
protested gun violence on the
Kansas Missouri State Line. One
week after 16 year old Ralph
Jarold was shot after ringing
the wrong doorbell.
You have mental health issues
everywhere. But when you pair
those with absolute chaos, in
terms of gun
legislation, this is what you
get. Gun violence is a public
health epidemic.
Johns Hopkins researcher
Cassandra Fauci says studies
have repeatedly shown that
people are less safe when guns
are present. What is driving
this increase in shootings,
we have seen record increases in
gun purchasing. We're also
seeing increases in fear based
marketing of firearms, as well
as stoking fears of political
violence, social violence,
racially motivated violence.
The states with the weakest gun
laws have high gun death rates
three times as high as states
with the strongest restrictions.
No place you can run from any of
this.
Adam Curry: I dispute that
statistic that has never been
the statistic. It's never been
this statistic. Could you turn
your speakers down just a little
bit for me, please. So this is
obviously a massive, massive
psychological push to somehow
magically create some
legislation that will ban guns
in America. That's not how it
works. Of course, it was
everywhere. That was ABC. Here's
Bill Maher on HBO.
Unknown: I've always known in
America that you know, there's
certain things that if you did
you get shot, there'd be a
likely chance of getting shot.
This week we found out we're
going to add to that list
innocent mistakes, innocent
mistakes, and I love this it
really goes across racial lines.
Everybody in America shooting
everybody else for Ralph Yarl a
young black man who was shot for
ringing the wrong doorbell
Adam Curry: I love I love what
he's saying now. He didn't get
shot because he rang the wrong
doorbell. The guy inside was was
crazy. That's why he got shot
not because this is very very
evil the way he's positioning
this. You rang the wrong
doorbell you get shot.
Unknown: In upstate New York,
Kevin Monahan shot Kailyn Gillis
for pulling in the wrong
driveway.
You pulled in the wrong driveway
Be very afraid.
And Elgin, Texas Pedro Rodriguez
shot two cheerleaders for
getting in the wrong car
Adam Curry: has nothing to do
with the status of the shooter.
It's all about you did something
wrong.
Unknown: And then a black man
Robert Singletary shot a six
year old and her father when
their ball went in his yard. And
I all what the all these things
have in common. The shooters
themselves were in no danger.
Adam Curry: So what do we do
over at CBS? Well, we've got to
bring in the hero.
Unknown: We're gonna continue
our conversation with the former
first Lady her name, of course,
is Michelle Obama, I have to say
something about the book because
it's called the light we carry
overcoming and uncertain times.
I really think that these are
uncertain times. And I look at
the things in the news recently,
to three recent shootings, a
terrible shooting in Kansas City
with a 16 year old thank God he
survived if a young woman in New
York was shot turning in the
driveway, just normal things. Do
you think that we can ever
figure out a way to reconcile
gun violence in this country?
Because it does keep me up?
I hope and pray that that at
some point enough becomes
enough. One point. We wondered
that throughout our entire
presidency.
Adam Curry: Who's this we
business? We your debt. We
wonder about this throughout our
entire presidency, our
John C Dvorak: good try
Unknown: becomes enough. Was
there a point? You know, we
wondered that throughout our
entire presidency, thinking that
this time,
yeah, Barack Obama said you
Newtown was one of the worst
days of his presidency. Yeah, we
still didn't get that mess. But
we
are the only developed country
on the planet where its citizens
can have unfettered access to
firearms.
I'd have to call that factcheck.
False but okay,
John C Dvorak: that's bull crap.
Yeah.
Unknown: That is not a good
thing. And more of us have to
feel strongly about it, and
particularly our young people.
This is where democracy comes
in. Voting this all this stuff
is decided in the in the ballot
box.
Adam Curry: No, no, the only way
to decide this removal of guns,
which is clearly what is being
called for here is by creating a
new amendment to the
Constitution to override the
Second Amendment. And it's not
the ballot box. It's not
John C Dvorak: you can repeal
the Second Amendment don't have
to override it.
Adam Curry: Right. You could
repeal it, you could repeal it,
but wouldn't actually be an
amendment that would repeal the
Second Amendment?
John C Dvorak: I think so. I
don't know if that's called an
amendment or not.
Adam Curry: What about the 21st
amendment? Wasn't that an a
repeal of the or is it the which
one repealed Prohibition? Well,
no. It was also,
John C Dvorak: I think it is the
21st. Okay, yeah, probably, it
would have to be cold, right.
But it's
Adam Curry: not just like, oh,
go vote, go vote Democrat, and
your guns will be taken away.
But that is that is what she's
going for. And as you know, you
think I'm crazy. You think I'm
nuts? I believe the Democrats
are going to run Michelle Obama.
And thank God, the question came
up, just listen,
Unknown: I emcee this event at
Lincoln Center Jazz at Lincoln
Center for Witten, Marcel, as in
just mentioning your name that
you are going to be on Pete why
people have such expectations
and hopes that we'll see we'll
see I'm not even going to ask
you that.
Adam Curry: Okay, question one.
Why will you not even ask if
she's going to run Gail is Are
you not a journalist? Have you
been told not to ask this
question?
John C Dvorak: You just said it.
Adam Curry: Have you been asked
not to ask this question or told
not to ask this question. That's
very weird.
Unknown: People have such
expectations and hopes that
we'll see we'll see. I'm not
even gonna ask you that. But do
you ever wonder or do you ever
think
John C Dvorak: it's quite
likely. Michelle Obama is not of
the sort that goes in there and
allows free we'll she probably
is quite possible that she
specifically said I'm not doing
this interview. If you asked me
this question.
Adam Curry: I agree. I think
that's exactly what happened.
But then words matter. The truth
wants to come out. Listen to
what Michelle Obama says.
Unknown: But do you ever wonder
or do you ever think when will
politic politics leave you
because you said I'm not a
political person. Politics isn't
what isn't something I wanted?
That people still hope and what
you did do something?
Yeah, it
Adam Curry: this first of all,
you knew the question that
wasn't a question was going to
come and listen to her answer.
Yeah. Why is Gail laughing? Why
is Gail laughing about this
question?
John C Dvorak: Well, because
Gail knew that skirted it and
did a good job. You should
congratulate her and Gail knows
Unknown: that she's running
listen.
Yeah. I am authentic. If I were
going to engage in politics, I
would let people know.
Adam Curry: She says if I
weren't going to engage them,
but you have to listen
carefully.
John C Dvorak: Go back and play
that again. Because it says if
I'm authentic, she says
Adam Curry: I'm authentic. And
if I weren't not work, and if I
weren't going to engage in
politics, I would let people
know.
Unknown: I am authentic. If I
were going to engage in
John C Dvorak: Navy were i here
weren't I don't here weren't i
here were
Unknown: I am authentic if I
were going to engage in
politics.
Adam Curry: No, I here weren't
but okay. We can dispute that
for until the cows come home.
Unknown: I am authentic. If I
were going to engage in
politics, I would let people
know. But I am a public figure,
I still care about these issues,
I will always find ways to use
my platform to speak out. That's
why I'm focusing on getting
young people to vote. Because
none of it matters. It doesn't
matter who's in the Oval Office
of Congress, they can work with
not managing our state houses
and on and on. I could go on and
on about
it. I know. And I'm not even
pushing for you running. That
ship has sailed. I get it. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Okay. So I will just
hold on to my prediction. You
totally disagree. That's fine. I
think they're gonna run her.
Thank you. And I believe that
this is why the Obama CIA is
getting rid of Joe because man,
did they really do a number with
this mic morale thing? That's
insane. Yeah, I've
John C Dvorak: been thinking
about the mic morale thing more
after writing it up in the
newsletter. Yeah. I want to
throw a little while before we I
don't want to leave this topic
cuz they got some Nora clips.
Okay. Where I thought was kind
of interesting. And this is
Dora. They have to do their
thing. And CBS they're talking
about all these random
shootings. I want to play a few
of these. Okay, I'm playing Nora
on the random killings.
Unknown: We learned today of yet
another case of young people
being shot up shot after a
mistake. This time a group of
cheerleaders mistook a car for
their own got into it, and then
they were fired at and a CBS has
Alenka Hana reports it comes
after a New York man made his
first court appearance for
allegedly shooting and killing a
young woman who drove into his
driveway.
Like allegedly killing a young
woman who drove into his
driveway.
John C Dvorak: Here's Nora on
the on the Alabama shooters.
Unknown: The 16 and 17 year old
brothers will be charged as
adults for young people were
killed and more than 30 others
wounded for victims are still in
critical condition
John C Dvorak: that she did. She
tells you about the guy who shot
the cheerleaders about the
random shootings here and there.
Yeah, the black guys who shoot
shot up that place in Alabama.
But now listen to this clip. Why
does she only use white shooter
in this last clip?
Unknown: He turned out to
another story about gun
violence. But at least there's
some good news today about the
black teenager who was shot
after he mistakenly went to the
wrong address to pick up his
brother's 16 year old Ralph Yarl
is on the road to recover and he
is recovery I should say and he
is sitting up on his own.
Meanwhile, the 84 year old white
man charged with first degree
assault and armed criminal
action made his first court
appearance this afternoon.
John C Dvorak: Yep. Now we are
Latinos. We had everything in
between but there's only one
white guy. And she makes a point
of saying that she's
Adam Curry: racist. I'll be
totally racist. Yeah, that's
that's how it goes. Welcome to
racist America. We've always
been racist. It's just now it's
our turn. Whitey. We're that
we're the bottom of the of the
caste system. Jolly, old
straight white dudes
John C Dvorak: makes it worse.
Well,
Adam Curry: I guess now, since
it is in the news, I can talk
about this, about the Manifesto
of the Nashville shooter. When I
was in Nashville, a member, a
producer of law enforcement
talked to me and he said,
there's a reason why this
manifesto was not coming out.
And I don't want you to talk
about it. Because it's quiet and
no one's talking about it. And
it's better that way. And so I
didn't, but now it's out
everywhere. So I'm going to tell
you that this completely aligns
with with what I was told. This
is now coming from Nashville
Police Chief John Drake. It was
not a manifesto. It was 20
journals, complete plans,
operational manuals on how to
kill children how to kill
Christian children. This is what
I heard was. It's like the
anarchist bible of shooting
Christian children and that's
why they were that's why they've
been keeping it quiet. Okay, I
John C Dvorak: have a different
story. Okay. I had a long
conversation with a Nashville
policeman recently. And he told
me about the journals. And you
exactly what you said
Adam Curry: the Anarchist
Cookbook. I'm sorry, I said it
wrong. The Anarchist Cookbook.
Yes.
John C Dvorak: There was a bunch
of journals with detailed crap
about you know how many you
know, grains of gunpowder shall
be in each bowl and all the rest
now. He said in addition to
that, which he never got to look
at, there was a Separate
manifesto. Oh, okay. I didn't
hear that, that nobody had that
he didn't get to see and nobody
that he knows has seen it. But
he did say a couple of things
about the shootings, which was
the guy was super anti
Christian, or the guy, the girl,
whatever they were Oh, was super
anti Christian, and which has
been kept out of the news by the
media. And then the worst part
was these, these kids in
particular were mutilated.
Adam Curry: Oh, I didn't hear
about that. Oh, goodness. Yeah.
Okay. It's interesting that we
both heard from law enforcement,
and we both did not talk about
it.
John C Dvorak: That's because we
weren't told not to talk about
it.
Adam Curry: And we're pretty
good, like, pretty good. But now
the question now that this is
out, now, this is being
publicized. I mean, we do live
in a country with freedom of
press. What's the press going to
do? Are they going to sue to get
it and then print it and put it
everywhere? What is what is what
is appropriate in this case?
John C Dvorak: It's appropriate
to print it or release it on the
internet. I don't think it needs
to be printed per se.
Adam Curry: You know what I
mean? But so, but this also
serves as a guide, you know,
that's the fear. Well,
John C Dvorak: we don't know
what's in the manifesto. From
what I can tell why what I was
told is,
Adam Curry: it's like a guy.
It's a how to the anarchist.
John C Dvorak: Bible I was told
that that's the journalists is
not the manifesto.
Adam Curry: Okay. All right.
Anyway, it's not good. So that
they don't want anyone to know
John C Dvorak: about that. Show
a bunch of screwballs out there
now. So
Adam Curry: what do you get
instead you get you rang, rang
the wrong doorbell. You know,
you did this. You did that? And
yeah, people are crazy.
Absolutely. People are crazy.
Right now. We just went through
a three year make people crazy
situation in the world. It's not
just here. Yeah, we do
John C Dvorak: have this
doorbell thing. You know, all of
a sudden out of the blue after
years and years of kinds of
school shootings and other
things that have gotten nowhere
in terms of getting gun
registered gun legislation
through substance certain
states, right. Now we have a
coincidental pile of the same
basic, the same basic template,
right, somebody actually goes
into somebody's yard, somebody
throws a basketball in the yard.
The ball bounces in the guy's
yard, and he shoots him
Adam Curry: when we really don't
have we really don't have is the
truth. I mean, this could just
be the way they're positioning
these shootings. That could be
history, we have no idea but
they are bundling it together
and making the story out of it
when Bill Maher does that bid
that he did. That's because he's
told to do that his writers do
that. He's dumb as far as I'm
concerned. He's like, Oh, okay,
I'll just go along with the memo
and
John C Dvorak: make a joke about
median. You think a comedian
with with a sense of things
would notice the kind of
screwball coincidences, you
know, wrong car wrong driveway,
wrong doorbell wrong this wrong
that, you know, again, like you
said earlier, blaming it on the
poor, hapless person that does
the wrong thing, and then get
shots weird, is very weird, does
not have all of it. And this is
just all new that we did a year
ago, we didn't have people
walking into the wrong, you
know, getting shot left and
right for doing for getting in
the wrong car going in the wrong
driveway. It was all school
shootings. But now it's this
right. It has to be in up.
Adam Curry: Well, the reporting
of these shootings certainly is
and I have real problem with the
states with strict gun laws have
less shootings three times less
No, well actually didn't say
shootings, they said killings.
And if you look at the
statistics, it's very possible
that a lot of red states have
suicides. Now there's always
that that they've nailed half of
the all the gun deaths in the
United States.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, right. They
never Right, exactly that they
should be pointed out, they
should always, always break out
the suicides. They never do it.
Unknown: They're not going to
point that out. No way. No way.
No way.
John C Dvorak: No. All right.
Well, after that Happy New Year.
I
Adam Curry: know I'm bummed that
we had to start with that. In
other news, celebrities are
losing their minds that their
checkmarks are disappearing.
John C Dvorak: I lost mine.
Adam Curry: Did you see like
people like it's almost like
when Oh, if Trump wins, I'm
leaving the country. Jason
Alexander. I'm never going to be
on this app again. When you lost
my mic check mark Brett bet
MEDLARS like now anyone could
just pretend to be me. Oh, wow.
Wow, who the heck wants to be
you? That's their big fear. Oh,
now I'm no longer official. I'm
not authentic. I think I think
Twitter started give some of
them their check marks back.
Which I think is even funnier,
because they're like, oh, okay,
I have my checkbook. Okay. I
didn't pay for it to I'm
promising it didn't pay for it.
I bet you they did. Are you
going to pay for your church to
pay for your checkmark?
John C Dvorak: Who cares about
the checkmark? You never cared?
No, of course. Well, you did.
But you never did. Really? Oh,
of course not.
Adam Curry: No, it was funny. It
was just someone hated me so
much within Twitter that when
they were handing them out left
and right, I never got one at
people where
John C Dvorak: you should and
you're of all the people I know
that got Steve Horowitz same way
as the way he didn't get one.
But whatever. We're talking
about that but you're hailstorm.
Adam Curry: Oh, man. So that was
after the show on Thursday. And
Tina came into the odd there's a
batten down the hatches, we got
a storm coming and it was golf
ball sized hail. We had water
coming into the house through
underneath outside doors and it
was raining sideways. Then the
hail hit then the hail hit. And
we had a micro cell cross right
over our house. Took a tree out
a huge huckberry tree. Just
ripped it right out. It took it
out of the ground out of the
ground. I'll send you a picture
of it to put it in the
newsletter lifted right out of
hell yes. ripped it right out of
the ground as a tree that was
you know, was there and you
know, not just a tree in a tree
line as a tree in like our
landscape. You know, it was it
was been there for a long time,
obviously. Yeah, but a tree that
we liked. tonight. Oh, yeah. I
felt really sad. I walked out
Monday, Friday morning to the
walk the dog went Oh, wow. He
said the tree just ripped out.
And I felt Yeah, I felt sad is
very, very odd. I had a very,
very earthy moment. Which was
appropriate because it was Earth
Day. Oh, man Earth Day. Oh, my
goodness, this is everybody took
advantage of Earth Day to just
bring on the climate change. Oh,
boy. Oh, boy. I have a couple of
clips I want to share. First,
the President of the United
Nations, Antonio Guterres. And
he's right back to what it's
really all about. They're not
even shy about it. Now.
Unknown: We must accelerate
climate justice by reforming the
international financial system.
Adam Curry: Now, what we must we
must fix climate justice by
reforming the international
financial system. Huh? How does
that work? Yeah, that's what I'm
asking you
Unknown: to accelerate climate
justice by reforming the
international financial system.
As major shareholders of the
multilateral
guy, banks, I listened to what
he's saying was listened to what
he's saying. I want
you to push the measure
shareholders of the multilateral
development bank's, I urge you
to push them to coordinate their
operations better, and overall,
their business models and
approaches to risk in order to
turbocharge climate action and
sustainable development. We
Adam Curry: need to turbocharge
climate action by changing and
he's talking about the World
Bank. Of course, we have a new
president there, I'm sure that
that President will make the
changes, turbocharged climate
action,
Unknown: you have the power to
ensure that they leverage that
funds to mobilize much more
private finance at reasonable
cost to developing countries,
and that they end all support
for fossil fuels,
Adam Curry: fossil fuels, fossil
fuels. I know he meant fuels,
but I'm sorry, Words matter. You
said fossil fuels. Here's our
president who can't even get a
word out.
Unknown: So today, I'm pleased
to announce the United States
can provide $1 billion to the
Green Climate Fund. A fun as
critical fund is critical and
ways to help developing nations
that can't do now. But it should
not be the only way. Because
climate security, energy
security, food security, they're
all related. They're all
related. I'm calling on
development banks to scale up
their lending to clap for
climate change, which will also
accelerate the fight against
poverty.
Adam Curry: I think this is
actually the definition of a
fossil fuel. This guy right
here, let
Unknown: me close with this.
We're at a moment of great
peril, but also great
possibilities, serious
possibilities with the right
commitment, and follow through
from every nation on in this
room and on this call for goal
of limiting warming to 1.5
degrees can stay within reach.
But it's gonna take all of us
it's just one of us. Not some of
us dismissed that meet the
moment all of us all of us have
to be
Adam Curry: so this was a like a
zoom call with leaders from all
over the world and Carrie is
sitting there with Joe Biden in
a desk that looks like he's like
he's a college student in a in a
grade school desk. I mean, it's
all too small it's all
incredibly lame. And the our
fossil fuel of a president can't
even get a word out properly.
He's not the leader they want
John C Dvorak: they will I got a
bunch of Earth take this for
before we go on. I do want to
play this because of this Biden
thing. Okay. I want to play this
short clip. Newt Gingrich was
more or less Biden's age. Newt
Gingrich on Biden's age. This is
an interesting little twist.
Unknown: Yeah, here we go.
You're 79 The President is AD
is. Are you guys too old to be
president?
You know, Henry Kissinger is 20
years older than me. And I
called Henry one day I do a
podcast called newts world. And
Adam Curry: hold on, Boris, hold
on. I gotta subscribe right
away. Let's get this guy on
podcasting. 2.0 Ladies and
gentlemen, it's newts world.
Unknown: And I called Henry one
day I do a podcast called New
twirled. And I called Henry one
day and got him to agree to do
the podcast because he had a new
book coming out at 99. And I
said, you know, Henry, I'm now
79. And I'd like your advice on
aging. And he said, You're way
too young. He said, I'm not
having this comment a decade.
I'm not having this
conversation, and a 99. He's now
writing a new book. I would say
Konrad Adenauer was formidable
at 93 as Chancellor of Germany.
You know, I don't think Biden is
nearly as senile as he pretends.
I think part of that is a
gimmick on his part, to get us
to think that he doesn't quite
know what he's doing. Well, he
wins the presidency runs over
his opponents, passes trillions
of dollars in spending, and
protects his son while his son
deals with the Chinese and the
Russians and Ukrainians. So I
wouldn't ever and I wrote a
piece saying don't underestimate
him. For him from his standpoint
on his terms. He had a very
effective two years may have
been bad for the country, but it
was very good for the left.
John C Dvorak: No, well, I'm
thinking wait a minute. Wow. So
I'm thinking maybe that's the
reason Biden doesn't get the,
these tests all these cognitive
tests, because because he's got
them he'd aced them. He aced
them. He's playing now do you
chess, John? So I'm thinking
about this in terms of Vincent
G. giganteum gigante who was the
head of the general AAC family.
He's the guy warmed around in
his pajamas for 20 years in
Greenwich Village and peed on
the streets. And they would not
arrest Him or do anything to
him. He was running the family
for over 20 years in a phony
baloney state of insanity.
Adam Curry: This is by far the
best theory you've come up with
this month. This is dynamite.
Biden is pretending to be a
pajama wearing peeing full of
fossil fuel. Wow. Wow. All
right. But Michelle Obama's not
gonna run. Okay,
John C Dvorak: good. Oh, that's
for sure.
Adam Curry: In the UK, they
timed their new emergency alert
system with Earth Day. This has
been I haven't really talked
about it, but people are sending
me notes or we're going to all
the phones are gonna have the
alert system which we've had.
And this report we have it here.
Yeah. But this report has a
couple of interesting things.
One, it's all about climate
change. That's why this alert
needs to be needs to be alert,
climate change, and to every
country has a different alert,
Unknown: rare but extreme
weather like this, including
fires and floods or why the
government says we need an
emergency alert system. Well,
this is another tool in the
toolkit in order to help the
government this is the Deputy
Prime Minister respond to
emergencies and help protect
people's lives and it's very
similar Oh, it's gonna protect
your life. This tool in our
toolkit, what we have in Japan,
United States and elsewhere.
Adam Curry: We have in Japan who
we have in the United States
this is he has an emotion this
is just a New World Order alert
system
Unknown: at 3pm. Today you'll
get something like this on your
phone, a test, new alert system
Adam Curry: now listen to all
the different tones from around
the world. This is quite
puzzling.
Unknown: It also have a loud
siren like sound or vibration
lasting for about 10 seconds
during last year's tsunami, this
is how their emergency alert
system sounded. In fact, quite a
few countries have an emergency
alert system including Australia
Canada and Italy. Now it's the
UK is turn. We won't get any
information about people's
personal phones. This is a
broadcast signal that goes to
every mobile phone the
government doesn't find out
anything about your phone, as
long as your phone has a 4g or
5g signal and if it's an iPhone
running iOS software 14.5 Or for
Android phones Android 11
software or later, you will get
the text and the noise even if
it's on silence.
Adam Curry: Why does every
country have a different tone?
Did the Italians need a more
like rhythmic tone? And the
Japanese like no two tone and
the Canadians have a why? Why is
this? I find this very peculiar.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I find this
another reason to keep my phone
in a drawer.
Adam Curry: Yeah, or throw it
out the window. I'm going back
to 1970 the very first Earth Day
This is before climate change
was the earth burning Hello
chunk Young Turks. In fact, in
1971, is when Leonard Nimoy told
us we were going to have global
cooling. Yeah, we're all gonna
die. But Earth Day in 1970. Was
was historic. I have a Walter
Cronkite newscast, CBS News. And
it sounds very familiar. It's
using children for political
means. This planet
Unknown: is threatened with
destruction. And we who live in
it with death. The heavens, the
waters below a foul. children
die in infancy. And we and the
world which is our home, we live
on the brink of nuclear
annihilation. We are in a crisis
of survival.
Adam Curry: So this is 53 years
ago. It gets better.
John C Dvorak: But that wasn't
Walter Cronkite. Oh
Adam Curry: no, that's a
biologist starting off the news
coverage here.
John C Dvorak: Starting off to
trend.
Unknown: This is a CBS News
special birthday or question of
survival. With CBS News
correspondent Walter Cronkite
ready to name a unique day in
American history is set aside
for a nationwide outpouring of
mankind seeking its own survival
survival Day, a day dedicated to
enlisting all the citizens of a
bountiful country and a common
cause of saving life from the
deadly byproducts of that topic.
Followed skies The filthy waters
the literary
Adam Curry: and notice it was
the dirty defiled skies The
filthy water the littered earth,
there was no blowing up but the
earth is on fire or going to
freeze to death. None of that
bad way.
Unknown: demonstration that
success was mixed. beyond
expectations here far below
there. No one now can know
exactly how many to fight. We do
have an idea how many plan
participation student groups and
2000 colleges and 10,000 Lower
schools, citizen groups and 2000
communities. I won measurement
birthday field, it did not
unite. It did attract that broad
cross section of America that
sponsors one it's not quite it's
demonstrators were predominantly
young, predominantly white,
predominantly anti Nixon, off on
its protests appeared frivolous
as protesters curiously
carefree. Yep, the gravity of
the message of Earth still came
through acts or die.
Adam Curry: 53 years later,
we're still using it for
political die, act or die. It's
all political. It was anti
Nixon, because Nixon was going
to kill us all. Nixon hates
children. They gave children
that there was no day off from
school, but they let everybody
go ahead and you know, it's
okay. If you take off the
protest. Nothing has changed.
Except there's more money in it
now.
Unknown: And people have figured
that out. And I'm just going to
I got a few more things here.
John C Dvorak: I'm reminded of
another scam. You remember hands
across America.
Adam Curry: We used to celebrate
that in the early days of the
show when they would talk about
it. They don't even bring it up
anymore. Yes. Hands Across
America.
John C Dvorak: Do you remember
what it was for?
Adam Curry: I think you asked me
this every time we talk about
it.
John C Dvorak: And he's a good
guy. It's a bit
Adam Curry: Hold on. I know this
answer Hold on. It was I don't
know.
John C Dvorak: I forgot a to end
homelessness in the country.
Adam Curry: So successful. I'm
so glad we did a great job. Very
well done. Hands Across America.
Yeah. And they never even
completed the chain.
John C Dvorak: Now there was a
bunch of spots they couldn't
quite finish
Unknown: and of course not. It
was ludicrous, but it's
John C Dvorak: ludicrous but it
did it long chain
Adam Curry: Okay, so let's just
was just one thing I wanted to
play. Alright, is it here? Oh,
yes. So one thing that is
cropping up everywhere,
certainly in the UK, but also in
Canada. Navia is the 15 Minute
cities and there's so much
pushback, certainly London I
mean now you love zone. You know
the ultra low emission vehicles
zone. People are ripping down
cameras spray painting the
lenses you know they're good,
creating fake license plate. To
duplicate ones that are allowed
to travel and that people hate
this, the 15 Minute city was
well explained is explained by
the World Economic Forum along
with the great reset all of this
is we're not making up the great
reset, are we? No, this is what
Klaus Schwab wrote a book called
The Great reset.
John C Dvorak: And in this
pardon to make it up when the
guy wrote a book. Well,
Adam Curry: now the script is
going out to every single news
organization, we have to debunk
the 15 Minute city by explaining
how a 15 minute city is exactly
a 15 minute city. But it's not a
it's a conspiracy theory to call
it a 15 minute city part of the
great reset.
John C Dvorak: What's it well,
hold on a second wasn't exactly
this exactly what they call it
in Oxford,
Unknown: exactly what they call
it, we
John C Dvorak: have clips of
them calling it the 15 Minute
city and how great the idea is,
and now all of a sudden, it's
become a conspiracy. How does
that work? I've never seen
anything like it
Adam Curry: because people have
caught on to it. And they're
like, No, this is part of
climate change lock downs,
you're being locked down within
your 15 Minute zone of the city.
Notice when our calling zone,
but this is exactly what it is.
So here's the script. This is
Katerina. Georgie, what's her
name? Georgieva. From the CBC,
she's reading a script wild arm
motions to accentuate that she
thinks she's, you know, when she
doesn't know what she's talking
about? Well, it's just just
listen to the script. You'll
hear it everywhere around the
world.
Unknown: So what is a 15
minutes? It's an urban planning
idea meant to make communities
more walkable and more likeable.
So imagine having everything
that you need within 15 minutes
of your home
Adam Curry: exactly what
everyone's talking about. This
is a 15 Minute city, but Oh, no,
oh, no, it's a conspiracy theory
to call it a 15 minute city. So
Unknown: imagine having
everything that you need within
15 minutes of your home without
having to use a car. planners
say that it's good for your well
being and it can help tackle
climate change.
already seeing talked over the
best bit.
And it can help tackle climate
change, and we're already seeing
it pop up in places like Paris.
So pretty straightforward,
right? So why is it associated
with conspiracy theories? The
idea has been embedded in
theories like q&a and the great
reset people worried about major
takeovers and consider
Adam Curry: I gotta break this
down. She says it's a conspiracy
theory because it's been tangled
up in conspiracy theories like Q
anon. Which last time I checked
you anonymous Democrats are
killing and eating babies. Okay,
whatever. That's that's new now.
And conspiracy theories like the
great reset. Yes. What she says
conspiracy theories have no book
it's a whole presentation is the
whole world economic forum.
Unknown: Why is it associated
with conspiracy theories? The
idea has been embedded in
theories like Q anon and the
great reset people worried about
major takeovers and control the
worried that it's a lockdown
measure that would prevent them
from leaving the boundaries of a
15 minute radius of their home
and that it's a surveillance
strategy. But that's not what's
happening in the places where
the idea is being implemented or
being floated. So how is this
connected to the county of
Essex, hundreds showed up at a
special meeting meant to discuss
the county's new official plan
which is currently being
developed. And the goal of the
plan is meant to help manage the
region as more people are
expected to move into the
community. Now, nowhere does it
mention 15 minute cities but
because it does make mention of
climate change action, and
things like improved
walkability, some people are
linking the two together as a
step in that direction. And then
come all the conspiracy theories
attached to that county
officials are stressing that not
only is the 15 Minute concept,
not what people are fearful it
is. It's also not at all on the
table at the county of Essex.
That means
Adam Curry: this this is 1984
Newspeak this lady is
John C Dvorak: doing. Gathering
the people like this woman
aren't written and put into a
ledger
Adam Curry: on a list somewhere
list. And then we have and this
is a nice bit of a Newspeak This
is Lake two layer is that am I
pronouncing that right? And
killari to Laurie I'm sorry, in
California. Now, for the past 10
years, all I've heard is
California is a drought. There's
no water we're all going to die.
The earth is burning. The
California is burning is
burning. We have no water
melting. The the reservoirs are
empty, you're going to die
conserve World Water. And now I
helped me understand this report
from ABC.
Unknown: Tonight. A frantic race
to save communities in
California's Central Valley as
the Tulare Lake dried up for
decades has reemerged
Adam Curry: now Okay, so isn't
stop it. Wouldn't it be good
news? The Tulare Lake.
John C Dvorak: It was dried up.
No, everything's bad news. Okay,
Unknown: you can see the water
lapping
up here in Tulare Lake for the
first time in four decades, but
it's coming onto a road in fact,
this is Sixth Avenue, and it's a
main thoroughfare through some
of America's most productive
farmland. For the next 10 miles,
it's several feet underwater. At
least 150,000 acres of farmland
and communities are estimated to
be flooded after at least 15.
Atmospheric Rivers dumped
continuous rain and snow and
California this winter, the
region home to the largest dairy
producing county in the nation
area farmers like Peter Jiang,
now scrambling to save their
herds.
But it was probably about this.
So this water, it would those
trees were under.
Many of his crops drowned. Three
to $4 million underwater.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. Wait,
he's he's a dairy farmer. But
now he has crops it's very easy
for us
John C Dvorak: to get the story
straight.
Unknown: He says agriculture is
a more than $10 billion industry
in Tulare and neighboring Kings
County. 18% of the country's
Pistachios are grown here.
nearly 16% of our citrus
Adam Curry: Hold on a second.
What I heard the last time
California news was talking
about the pistachios, they're
horrible, horrible, horrible
nuts. Because the trees take up
8 million gallons of water.
John C Dvorak: You're mixing
your nuts. I have the wrong nut.
That's almonds. Almond. If you
if you actually look into it is
a bull crap. I
Adam Curry: know. How about the
pistachios. Are they thirsty?
No,
John C Dvorak: I didn't. I don't
know anything negative about
that. You know that? You know,
this is interesting as
pistachio.
Adam Curry: First of all big
deal. I'm sorry. We have a
shortage of pistachio I'll live
John C Dvorak: with the funny
thing is, you know it's you
know, pistachio nut is poisonous
to everything in the world
except humans
Unknown: because we've eaten
them we've gotten used to him.
Crazy
and in some areas that water is
estimated to be eight to 10 feet
deep. And as warmer temperatures
melt that record winter snowpack
in the Sierra Nevada, more water
is on the way. It could be years
before the water dissipates
in climate change context. We do
expect to see more severe
droughts in California as
temperatures rise, okay. Oh,
John C Dvorak: no, Help
Unknown: me Help me. Help. Me
Understand. Help me
John C Dvorak: get through the
water to go away. But we're
gonna have a drought.
Unknown: I mean, this is not
literally pistachio nuts is
warmer temperatures melt that
record winter snowpack in the
Sierra Nevada. More water is on
the way. Experts say it could be
years before the water
dissipates in climate change
context. We do expect to see
more severe droughts in
California as temperatures rise.
We also expect to see more
severe floods.
Adam Curry: Okay, all right. Now
this is gaslighting. This is
just gaslighting. Don't worry,
we're gonna see more droughts
and more floods.
Unknown: And what you can see
homes like this. It's been
underwater for already a couple
of weeks. But now if you look at
just this 20 mile stretch of
road alone, farmers tell me they
estimate the economic impact of
this flooding to be nearly a
billion dollars. And more water
is on the way.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, it
was $10 billion and pistachio
nut industry it's only a billion
dollar damage. This is a bogus
report. And they just did it
because it's Earth Day and they
sent out a second stringer to do
it.
John C Dvorak: I agree this is a
bogus report we've already had
most of the waters receded
everywhere around here and the
the snow packs not melting yet.
I mean, there's there's issues
in the Mississippi River Basin.
There's no doubt about that. But
that's not around here. And
yeah, we're doing fine. So
they're
Adam Curry: so out of ideas
after 53 years. They have no
ideas, you know, solar and wind.
No one's buying that anymore.
John C Dvorak: I got I got some
limits. Let
Adam Curry: me play just one bit
of Don Lemon on CNN. He's still
there, Don. They're still there.
Don Lemon on CNN and he has on
Bill Weir, and they have answers
to climate change.
Unknown: So soon as chief
climate correspondent Bill Weir
joins us people don't
care what you hear. Do you hear
him laughing? He's already
laughing. Beware.
So soon as chief climate
correspondent Bill Weir joins
us.
It's time for the bullcrap
segment of the week Bill Weir.
Chief climate correspondent Bill
Weir joins us people don't care
what you call it if it's
artificial whale poop or
whatever.
Does it help in the fight? It
doesn't help. It helps. So this
is Sir David King. He was the UK
top science adviser for a decade
he runs the Center for Climate
repair at Cambridge. And I went
there thinking they would have
all these amazing ideas for new
forms of energy or nuclear
fusion. And their top ideas are
artificial whale poop, and
splits in yachts that will spray
a fine mist in the air at the
North Pole and refreeze the
Arctic three months a year.
Those are their big ideas. But
there's marine biomass
Regeneration, we lost the oceans
fertilizer pumps when we killed
95% of the big baleen whales,
they go down deep they scoop up
the nutrients they poop them at
the surface. That's what gives
the oceans life the oceans give
us breath. And so thinking about
how we tackle this,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, do the
oceans give us breath? John, I'm
just asking you as a biologist,
I thought the trees gave us
breath. Now the Trees give us
breath
John C Dvorak: and then notice
an ocean I can See for me what
happened
Adam Curry: to the Amazon the
lungs of the world come on
people I can remember stuff
Unknown: brilliant on Monster of
excess carbon we call carbon
Godzilla and the our Harbin
John C Dvorak: Godzilla, kirpan
Godzilla.
Unknown: People are coming at it
from different ways. Some are
building machines, some want to
use artificial whale poop, which
is really volcanic ash.
Something we've gone too far
we've waited too long and we
need to spray sunscreen in the
sky to turn down the sun for a
couple of years and bias time.
So we get into all these big
radical ideas.
Adam Curry: All right, so the
big radical ideas we have
artificial whale poop. spritzing
EOPS spritzing yachts are sounds
like something on PornHub and
carbon Godzilla. I mean, this
thing is over. They have nothing
left. Except hydrogen, hydrogen.
The green hydrogen means the
John C Dvorak: President get
more hydrogen. Hydrogen reports.
The PBS went after plants
Adam Curry: formerly known as
the the breath of the world,
formally, formally.
John C Dvorak: So I have three
clips that our birthday saved
the plants PBS.
Unknown: Sorry to say that 80%
of the earth species are not yet
known and even as more are
identified.
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second.
Oh, I didn't know this. This is
News. That's nice. I thought
that was a tidbit that to
remember 80% of the world's
species are not yet known of
which
Adam Curry: 90% are COVID
variants. This is
Unknown: starting to see that
80% of the Earth's species are
not yet known. And even as more
are identified, more are
disappearing. Sometimes we don't
know what's being lost until
it's too late. Oh, cool.
Adam Curry: Now he's doing song
lyrics. Join and what you got
until it's gone on. Come
Unknown: on. On this Earth Day
we begin our series looking at
what it takes to save plants and
animals. We call it saving
species and our first
installment looks at the world
of plants.
Oh goodness, I am pulling off
the fruits of this cactus
seed by tiny seed meticulous and
for some mundane work.
These little black dots are

John C Dvorak: This is a whole
these plants have a story to
tell. According to him. This is
a
Adam Curry: whole theory a whole
series of this boring stuff
they're doing.
John C Dvorak: And so they have
a corpse plants plant, which
they have in San Francisco to
get one and
Unknown: what is a corpse plant?
Are they gonna tell us
John C Dvorak: a corpse plant
they have one in the city and
Jay and her boyfriend went over
to the city because it was in
bloom and it's rare.
Adam Curry: Oh, a billion blooms
once every 20 years or
something?
John C Dvorak: Some like that.
Yeah, you gotta catch the bloom.
They didn't bloom was already
faded, so they didn't get the
full bloom but they did get the
Adam Curry: stench right and
then it put in that it shoots
out this this if I recall dust
and stench and red Redstone,
John C Dvorak: it smells like it
smells like a dead animal.
That's why it's called a corpse
plant. So that's really neat.
That's great.
Unknown: Onward with
that about 34% of all of the
plants in the United States are
at risk of becoming endangered.
We see similar numbers globally
with that where there's about
40% of global flora is at risk
of extinction. Why?
Scientists say the planet is
currently at the beginning of
John C Dvorak: what what do you
mean? You should
Unknown: ask why they're not
telling me why these plants are
there.
John C Dvorak: They'll tell you
why. You know why knows why
humans
Unknown: Scientists say the
planet is currently at the
beginning of its sixth mass
extinction go and a high
percentage of biodiversity
animals plants trees die off.
Adam Curry: I got stuck on the
fourth mass extinction I can't
remember we're on the sixth
John C Dvorak: and by the way
with 80% of all species still
unidentified I don't know how
they can do this. I don't
doesn't make sense but Okay,
let's go on.
Unknown: What's driving this is
it. Is it climate change that
okay, I love this. What's,
what's driving this? Is it to
climate change?
What's driving this is it? Is it
climate change?
Certainly climate change is as
huge factor and risk that we see
to our worlds flora. But there's
other factors as well. Certainly
the developments from you know,
wild lands into agricultural use
or buildings. Another factor in
there is the introduction of
invasive species. So
the transportation of species
around the globe and introducing
them into areas in which they
didn't evolve really most of the
driver of extinction is human
activity.
Adam Curry: Thank you. Thank you
as long as we can get guilted
into something Yes.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, go You said
human activity and that's what
it is. And you know what this
all we're all humans
Unknown: Well, before we do that
the war on chicken?
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, baby. The
war on chicken. We called it
many, many moons ago. And now
with the climate change Earth
Day on top of the deck, it's
time once again to tell you that
you don't need real chicken. You
need real chicken made from
chicken cell cultures.
Unknown: It's big Tech's newest
take on big ag
Adam Curry: no big Tech's newest
take on big ag that's an opening
no farmland,
Unknown: no coops. But these
labs in Silicon Valley could be
the future of meat.
There are a lot of benefits of
making meat in this way from a
percent less emissions 70% less
water and land. But one of the
biggest things you don't need to
harm animal
Josh Tetrick is the CEO of
Adam Curry: what you don't need
to harm an animal. Oh, yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the
other thing you got to consider
this. If you're growing a bunch
of cells that's an animal be i
Adam Curry: No no, no, no, no,
no, that's not that's like, like
a fetus is also you know, that's
not not a human. So cells are
not animals cells are not
humans.
Unknown: It's one of only two
companies in the US that's
received clearance from the FDA
for human consumption of lab
grown meat
Adam Curry: Hello. I was not
consulted on this. When When did
this take place this FDA
approval from the agenda dude
with the with the bow tie that
we talked about in the last show
that moron he approved this the
USDA still needs to oh, this
USDA prove it for sale? Oh, they
Oh, so FDA approves the drug
guys, but the USDA hasn't
Unknown: this is not vegan or
vegetarian.
The other company is upside
foods headed by cardiologist uma
valetti. talked to me about the
science here. How does it work?
The science is fascinating, but
it's fairly simple. We take
cells from eggs or young animals
or mature animals, and we
identify those cells that are
capable of going into fats,
proteins connective tissue,
those cells are then prepped in
a lab and pumped into stainless
steel vessels. Inside this bio
reactor tank. There are billions
of chicken cells growing it will
take about a month before
they're ready to eat. Right now
in the US you can only eat
cultivated chicken on company
premises.
I can't wait. It's it's all
Silicon Valley's Google Chicken
Man. Google chicken is coming.
Oh go chicken
curds. Only place in the world
you can buy cultivated meat is
in Singapore where eat just
sells its chicken out of
financial loss. So the
motivation isn't profit here.
Why sell in Singapore?
Oh, yeah. Because we love that
we love animals. And we love
people. We don't want to make
any money. No
selling in Singapore is a way of
demonstrating that this new
approach to making meat is not
science fiction.
But it's here. It's reality.
Experts say lab grown chicken
showing up on store shelves in
the US is likely still years
away.
There's a ton of risk. There's a
lot of uncertainty. But the
other option,
Adam Curry: wait a minute. How
can the FDA have approved this
if there's a lot of risk and
uncertainty? Listen again.
Unknown: Experts say lab grown
chicken showing up on store
shelves in the US is likely
still years away.
There's a ton of risk in doing
this. There's a lot of
uncertainty, but the other
option is not to do anything.
And that seems worse.
One bite at a time
Adam Curry: I opt for DOD to do
anything. How can the FDA
approve something that has a ton
of risk?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's called
the COVID vaccine.
Adam Curry: There you go. All
right. I'm going to set you up
for your big presentation of
artificial intelligence. You
went through the CBS 60 minutes
Scott Pelley. hypothet on which
I have not seen I did not watch
the 60 minutes because I knew
you were coming with your ex
Jose, you're
John C Dvorak: just it's just a
it's only a part of the total. I
mean, I was just noticing clip
after clip. They're all short.
But there's little tidbits and
tips. It never ended. I mean,
this was a half the show is
about this.
Adam Curry: I'm going to set you
up with a couple of news stories
collected by a clip custodian of
the incredible harmful dangers
of AI. It's taking over the
world. We're all going to die.
But really it's about copyright.

calling it free speech.
It's exactly like what you would
see if you watch any stand up
comedy special or any sketch
comedy show. Sorry. Yeah. Where
they're doing impersonations of
Yeah,
Brady isn't the only athlete
fighting back the family of
German Formula One champion
Michael Schumacher also planning
to take legal action against the
German tabloid accusing the
outlet of passing off a fake AI
interview as the first with
Schumacher following his 2013
near fatal ski accident.
So because a lot of the current
wave of AI sounds like a human,
it's very easy to mistake it for
a human.
Adam Curry: That's the ABC tech
lady tech girl.
Unknown: Oh God.
Adam Curry: So working backwards
the Michael Schumacher thing is
really gross, because they
pretend that it was a real
interview with him they weren't
there wasn't like a couple of
comedians yucking it up they
pretended that Michael
Schumacher is brain dead I think
you he can't he is brain
challenged via brain challenge
Yes. And that was sick and they
fired the editor of the of the
publication he should now it
this is the best that AI can do
by the way this is what it's all
about. It's all about
celebrities losing their
possible income because I don't
know because he didn't actually
go on the podcast himself. Who
cares?
John C Dvorak: Duality is going
to be a lot of these shoots I
predicted this right off the you
dig
Adam Curry: it? You did and this
next clip proves
Unknown: it artificial
intelligence also making waves
in the music industry. It's not
Adam Curry: artificial
intelligence. It's artificial
copy paste.
Unknown: Recently Universal
Music Group who has represented
artists like Rihanna. And Drake
will used to call me on my cell
phone demanding streaming
platforms like Spotify and Apple
Music block AI generated songs
like this one of AI Drake and
the weekend performing a
reportedly fake collaboration
called heart on my sleeve.
Adam Curry: By the way, tell me
what you think. Is this song
just shit? I mean, what do you
think of this music?
John C Dvorak: Well, you're
asking me I'm not a big fan of
Drake to begin with.
Adam Curry: You're a fan of
Rihanna, though. And you heard
the rawness Well, yeah,
John C Dvorak: but you have to
be stoned to listen to Briana.
Unknown: The song eventually
taken down, but experts say this
is just the beginning.
One of the biggest problems with
AI right now is there are no
regulations. So what we have now
is we have to trust that the
technology companies are going
to police themselves.
Adam Curry: Oh, tech Girl,
please don't insult me use the
last bit about the legality.
Unknown: And critics are
skeptical that given the speed
at which AI is developing that
the law may not be able to keep
up. But in the meantime,
advocacy groups have formed to
protect artists Geo and like you
said, Mona, this is just the
beginning. All right, thank you
for that.
Adam Curry: So this is just no
na mo just the beginning. I am
very happy with this
development, the more they can
screw with the whole music
business, which no one makes
money anymore except the
publishers. The artists don't
make money the streaming even
Spotify can't turn a profit. I
think they should flood the
market with all this copy paste
Auto Tune crap. Which it really
is everything these days,
everything shared it, can you
believe in love with auto tune?
It's now that's just how you
sing. You can't sing this. You
can't you can sing. Everybody
uses auto tunes. Of course it
was it was aI generated to start
with if you're going to be
technical about it. Auto Tune is
artificial intelligence for
people who can't sing. And so
now they've just expanded that
the only thing I can see from a
legal perspective. Perhaps
interestingly, because I know
about is the Lanham Act. Were
concerned consumers might be
confused. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's exactly
right. That I think
Adam Curry: you have a case
there. But who wants more Drake?
Who cares? So people like Drake
flood flood Spotify with flood
the internet with this fake
stuff flooded? We can
John C Dvorak: buy some. I have
some real stuff here. And before
I start with the Scott Pelley
stuff, I do have a summary of
Elon I was on Tucker talking
about artificial intelligence.
Anyone has talked about the
economy. And so I got all mixed
up, I don't even know. But I
took the best parts. You made a
little a little mini mix, and
made a small mix of one minute
and 13 seconds of Elon. So yes.
Unknown: And so there's the if
you were to actually that, you
know, the there's nothing for
the CIO. So the stuff we've seen
thus far, actually hasn't even
is only slightly.
This is a dire situation. The
Great Depression. So, inflation
is going to happen no matter
what. So
like, what is money? You've got,
you've got, you've got these
sort of, you've got you've got,
you've got these sort of, you
know, barreling forward and you
know, hope for the best. And and
what are you? Yeah, fully a
specialist.
Adam Curry: That is exactly the
way he is. He's the Kim
Kardashian of tech. I think you
did an accurate record
representation of this
overblown, overhyped dude, who
just has a big bag of money from
Sequoia Capital and his handler
rule of Botha also fellow South
African. His whole family is
weird. He's weird. He's not
invented anything new. He is a
great sales guy because people
buy into this and Tucker
Carlson. pathetically lapping it
all up. Like you do, huh? Well,
I'm gonna give you a borderline
Clip of the Day for that it was
dynamite. The most sense Elon
has made Ever did you see his
lackeys? I tried to clip it, it
was just too to dump Calacanis
and two board members of Space
X. They were all on site at the
launch. And this was the most
successful thing that ever seen.
Oh, so great. Because, you know,
this is the thing that will take
us to Mars, we needed to have it
fail to prove that we can go to
Mars, it got off the launch pad.
Dude, you didn't get past the
dome. Okay. This is I can't
believe people are still buying
this
John C Dvorak: is your right but
the sales part that start with a
Scott Pelley talking, he's going
to be all he's all jacked up.
God is God never seen anything
like it. So he's talking to
Sundar, other people, mostly
Google. This is Google guys will
be a native ad. Well,
Adam Curry: before we get into
that, I want to read an article
about the Google Google barf is
their version of AI. And this is
from what publication from well,
Yahoo has from Bloomberg. There
we go. Google's rush to win in
AI led to an ethical lapses
employees say, one workers
conclusion, Barth was a
pathological liar. According to
screenshots of the internal
discussion. Under the cold it
cringe worthy. One employee
wrote that when they asked barfs
suggestions for how to land a
plane, it regularly gave advice
that would lead to a crash.
Another set of gave answers on
scuba diving, which would likely
result in serious injury or
death. So this is Google. I
mean,
John C Dvorak: this is a but
this is a reflection of the
pathological kind of psychotic
mentality that actually exudes
from Google. It goes right into
there. Hey, I see a bunch of
sociopaths. Yes.
Unknown: CEO, Sundar Pichai told
us AI will be as good or as evil
as human nature allows. The
revolution, he says, is coming
faster than you know, do you
think society is prepared for
what's coming? You know,
there are two ways I think about
it. On
one hand, on one hand, we're
fucked. I feel
no, because you know, the pace
at which we can think and adapt
as societal institutions
compared to the pace at which
the technology is evolving.
There seems to be a mismatch. On
the other hand, compared to any
other technology, I've seen more
people worried about it earlier
in its lifecycle, so I feel
optimistic. The number of people
you know, who have started
worrying about the implications,
and hence the conversations are
starting in a serious way as
well. I get
Adam Curry: it before you
continue. I'm going to
intersperse these clips with a
few pieces of information that
boots on the ground from a
Silicon Valley insider why
everyone is all GD about AI and
Silicon Valley. All of these
technology companies were pumped
up with new money during COVID.
They over hired and the short
live bump in business that they
all experienced during that
timeframe is drying up. They see
the economic headwinds, and
would have glommed on to
anything that seemed like a
solution. All of these new AI
tools launched at the exact same
exact time when everybody was
searching for a fix. So now the
industry is full of middle
managers who have never actually
used these tools to accomplish
anything, but believe in the
pitch, because their financial
future depends on it, they think
it will work to 10x productivity
because they need something to
10x their employee productivity.
What clued me into this
realization was a recent all
hands meeting at my work with a
CEO was asked what he had been
using AI tools for, he didn't
have an answer. The short story
is that he had played around
with the tools, same sort of
useless questions that everyone
else has, but nothing has been
integrated into his day to day
work. And then we had another
meeting, headed by one of the
division leads, who was asked
what suggestions he had for how
employees could integrate the
tools into their work. He didn't
have much to suggest beyond
using them to reward things like
documentation, or use it as some
sort of quality assurance filter
when interacting with customers.
The reality is these tools
aren't actually all that useful,
especially for competent
employees that are above average
writers, at least I haven't seen
any evidence that they are with
all of the efforts to try and
integrate them into our work.
I'm sure there will be some
applications, but they will
never result in the 10x
Increases in productivity that
so many people think are
possible. I think that's spot
on.
John C Dvorak: And I agree with
that 100%. These tools are just
I don't know what I actually
don't even know if they're going
to double anyone's productivity,
let alone 10x. Right? Well, you
know, that's Silicon Valley. The
whole idea of Silicon Valley,
for people who don't know, is
that if you had to beat them to
the main sales pitch, I am
building a product X, and I'm
using 45 chips in it to make it
work. And those 45 chips cost
$4,500 If someone comes along
with a a chip that will replace
half of those chips, and reduce
my cost from 4500 to 2000. I'm a
winner. I will sell millions of
these chips and everybody makes
out it's always about finding
some way to make things cheaper.
And and usually that's done with
silicone. And everything that
comes along it's not silicone
they think well maybe you know
it could be used it can be used
like like silica we can we can
make productivity go way up and
never does. Only silicon does.
But let's go on with part two of
this eclipse.
Unknown: Worldwide Google runs
90% of internet searches and 70%
of smartphones.
Adam Curry: I think that's a
lie. I think tick tock is
running a bigger percentage than
they are than they are aware of
internet searches.
John C Dvorak: I really don't
think they're counting ticktock
Well, no, of
Unknown: course not.
John C Dvorak: Of course it was
it just beyond this beside the
point. Yes,
Unknown: we're really excited
about but its dominance was
attacked this past February,
when Microsoft linked its search
engine to a chatbot. In a race
for AI dominance. Google just
released its chatbot named bar.
It's really here to help you
brainstorm ideas to generate
content like a speech or a blog
post or an email.
We were introduced to Bard by
Google vice President Sisi shell
and Senior Vice President James
manuka. Here's Bard and the
first thing we learned was that
Bard does not look for answers
on the internet like Google
search does
Adam Curry: you know the podcast
industrial complex is a so hard
up you know all these hosting
companies everybody has to come
up with something new I guess
because businesses you know
businesses static it's not like
more podcasts are being made
everyone's out of luck locked
down people got other things to
do with their life and you know
there's there's it's very hard
to make money in podcast
advertising has dried up so they
all have now Oh, yes, AI show
notes. So all you have to do is
just hit the button and it
creates show notes and chapters
and summaries and everything for
you. This is not going to work.
John C Dvorak: I wanted to play
that that last clip I play for
the sole purpose of making sure
that it's that you know that
these this particular barf never
ever, ever, ever looks at the
internet. Yeah, well as like the
search engine does, yeah.
Doesn't go to Google search for
anything. And somehow Okay,
let's go ahead clip
Unknown: three. Bard's replies
come from a self contained
program that was mostly self
taught our experience mostly
unsettling, confusing,
absolutely confounding. Bard
appeared to possess the sum of
human knowledge with microchip.
Adam Curry: Whoa, whoa, whoa,
who did that? Did you do that?
allege what is that who just
came all over Scott Pelley.
John C Dvorak: That was Scott
Pelley.
Unknown: But knowledge with
microchips more than 100,000
times faster than the human
brain.
Wow, that guy is out of control.
John C Dvorak: microchips
100,000 times faster than the
human brain. So what what's that
got to do with the price of
bread? This chips are fast. And
what what microchips do we have
that are that are in the human
brain is bull crap.
Unknown: Well, he has he has
very slow microchips are Scott.
John C Dvorak: I think it was
taking a dump. So it sounds like
a good one. Okay, nice.
Unknown: All right clip for
summarize the we asked Bard to
summarize the New Testaments. It
did in five seconds and 17 words
Oh, please tell me they have the
summary in this clip. Please,
please tell me I
John C Dvorak: wish, man it was
like Be good to your neighbor.
It was just it was that's not a
summary of anything.
Unknown: Oh, I need the summary
of the New Testament. I need
this Ekins
John C Dvorak: look at this is
posted on the on the screen
Unknown: did in five seconds.
And 17 words in Latin. We asked
for it in Latin. That took
another four seconds.
Adam Curry: I think everyone's
seen her except for this guy. I
think that's the summary of the
New Testament.
Unknown: Then we played with a
famous six word short story,
often attributed to Hemingway
for sale baby shoes, never worn.
Wow. The only prompt we gave was
finish this story in five
seconds. Holy cow. Oh God, the
shoes were a gift from my wife.
But we never had a baby. They
were from the six word prompt.
Bard created a deeply human tale
with characters it invented,
including a man whose wife could
not conceive. And a stranger
grieving after a miscarriage and
longing for closure
soon to be CBS movie of the
week. Sounds like a dynamite
script. Right? Wow, this this?
John C Dvorak: Oh, wow. All
right. As you can tell, oh, I
got two. Were there.
Adam Curry: Anything any
ratings? Anyone watched this?
Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah, everybody
did. Let's go. We want to clip
five. I believe.
Unknown: You have it. There's
two clip fives. Yeah, go with
John C Dvorak: the poem.
Unknown: Give me we asked her
the story inverse. In five
seconds, there was a poem
written by a machine with
breathtaking insight into the
mystery of faith. Bard wrote,
she knew her baby's soul would
always be alive. The humanity at
superhuman speed was a shock.
Adam Curry: I'm noticing a trend
here. He has now talked about
faith and God and the New
Testament. That feels like Scott
Pelley is trying to say, this is
the new god. This is the God you
want. I mean this. Why is he
doing
John C Dvorak: this? I'm not
saying that you're wrong, but
it's stretch to me. Let's just
clip five the problem. This is a
four second clip. I'm not sure
what this
Unknown: is. I am rarely
speechless. I don't know what to
make of this.
John C Dvorak: All right, that
was I think he was supposed to
be an ISO for the show. Okay,
well, okay. Let's move on. Move
on to seven
Unknown: tracks of the AI issues
we talked about. The most
mysterious is called emergent
properties. Some AI systems are
teaching themselves skills that
they weren't expected to have.
How this happens is not well
understood. For example, one
Google AI program adapted on its
own after it was prompted in the
language of Bangladesh which is
was not trained to know.
We discovered that with very few
amounts of prompting in Bengali,
he could not translate all of
Bengali.
John C Dvorak: That's very handy
is bullcrap
Unknown: that's very handy.
John C Dvorak: Now let's say
this is bullcrap. And and then I
refer back to the early clip
that said, it never uses the
Google search engine to do
anything. They make it sound as
though it dreamed up the Bengali
language and all those crazy
characters, you should look at
this language out of the blue,
just with a simple prompt. Next
thing you know, it's fluent.
This is nonsense. There is no
way without doing some research
or a look at the language or
some sort of search that it can
do this while we're being fed
book after book after book. I
mean, this is bold
Adam Curry: crowd. Question is
can Google make the next $10
billion quarter with this
Bengali skill? No,
John C Dvorak: no, again? No.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna do I'm
gonna make a crazy prediction
here. Okay, well, you're gonna
love this prediction because I
if this is not advice, I'm not
going to do it myself. But if I
were someone who were buying
stocks and bonds, I would pour
money into Facebook. Meta. Meta
has done something very smart.
They fired all the people
working on the metaverse,
they've completely ditched the
metaverse. In fact. Here's a
quote meta is no longer pitching
the metaverse in conversations
with advertisers, as I said,
trying to get them back to a
tick tock like short form
videos, stark contrast to last
year, so they have now closed
down effectively the stupid,
stupid Metaverse idea. And they
are not all jacked up in GD
about AI. And everyone else is
going to lose their shirt. And
wait until the climate change.
People figured out how much
energy this stuff is. So wait,
wait, wait until they figure out
there was this is bigger than
Bitcoin, the amount of energy
this this bullcrap sucks up?
John C Dvorak: Yes. In fact,
that was that was kind of
pointed out but downplayed on
the show itself. Because if they
brought another guy in just a
half an hour mature, but you'd
only have this one last clip. I
didn't bring. I mean, I could
have gone on for days. But let's
play this as L. Sundar, the Al
Gore rhythms, which I just
started, when I first read this
show title,
Unknown: there are two views of
this. There are a set of people
who view this as Look, these are
just algorithms to just
repeating what it's seen online.
Then there is the view
Adam Curry: algorithms. What is
that? What are their
John C Dvorak: algorithms,
Unknown: algorithm algorithms?
Algorithms? I
John C Dvorak: liked what you
said.
Adam Curry: You said algorithms
algorithm wishes I think the
song he did with Chevy Chase,
isn't it? Yes. You know, you
know that song? Yes, you can
call me out algorithms Chevy
Chase and Al Gore.
Unknown: That's right. These are
just algorithms to just
repeating what is seen online.
Then there is the view where
these algorithms are showing
emergent properties.
Adam Curry: Oh, boy, that's some
bull crap. The algorithms are
showing some emergent
properties. What does that mean?
John C Dvorak: Nothing. Okay.
Adam Curry: Well, good report,
John. I'm very afraid that AI is
going to take over our job.
We're doomed you and me baby
doomed. This this actually
guarantees will have worked for
the rest of our living breathing
is on this earth. Wow. All
right. Before we take a break, I
do want to give a little update.
I've been diving, I have to dive
deep into this trans Maoism
because every day, every single
day, a parent a producer who
listens to this show is saying
thank you for doing this.
Because my and it's always
daughter, my daughter wants to
be a boy. This is very
concerning. And and because of
the pronouns and the pressure. I
think a lot of parents are very,
very confused and and not quite
sure what what to do. And so a
couple of things I just want to
throw out there. One is there's
now a besides the trans Maoist
part of this, which is really
convincing young girls 80% of
the transitioning children is
teenage girls and I have a clip
about that in a moment from a
forthcoming documentary. They
are immediately grabbed by the
pharmaceutical medical industry.
The rapists also knows
therapists because you know Oh,
Oh boy, oh, you're clearly your
boy trapped in a girl's body.
It's all confirmed by the
educational system. The
educational system contains
mainly female teachers these
days in grade school, who have
been trained by universities who
took money from big endowments.
Rockefeller, etc. Also Pritzker,
you know a lot, a lot of these
big companies, big
organizations, big family money
with and we've, we've talked
about this with notes attached
to it, okay, here's a billion
dollars, but it has to be gender
studies or something else in so
that's why you have all of this
education. The parent, the
teachers are, of course, they're
completely traumatized. They're
now the feedback loop. Oh, no,
the meds aren't working. The
meds are working Johnny's good,
little, little Mary's not doing
too well. So they're completely
wrapped up in it. And then we
have the political system. And
this is really the sickest part
of it, is the words that are
being used. And it reminded me
and I'm talking about gender
affirming care, it reminded me
of a joke that George Carlin
did, which I cannot tell the
joke, I'm not going to play the
joke. But the idea is how words
have the wit, the meaning of
words have been euphemisms have
been created. And the way George
Carlin tells us as well, you
know, back in the, in the First
World War, soldiers would come
home and they would be shell
shocked. And shell shock is, you
know, that's kind of what it was
because of the shells blowing up
all around them. They were
shocked. And they were in a
state of, you know, shell shock.
But then a generation later, it
was called battle fatigue. That
sounded much friendlier, didn't
it, then it became operational
exhaustion. And then after, I
think it was, I don't know if it
was after the Vietnam War. But
certainly, the most recent wars
that I've witnessed, it was post
traumatic stress disorder, which
has now just been shortened to
PTSD. And it sounds just doesn't
sound like what it really is. So
when you're talking about sex
change operations on children,
using drugs that are used to
medically castrate sex
offenders. And it's then called
gender affirming care by our
White House, by the
administration. There's
something very, very wrong and
we just have to realize that
this is bull. gender affirming
care is is a horrible term for,
for what is being done. So
there's this guy, Simon Adler,
and he is doing a film called
cut Daughters of the West. This
is from a podcast called macro
aggressions, and he is going to
explain I chop this down to two
minutes, but you can find the
whole podcast interview in the
show notes. And he explains how
this is really social contagion.
social contagion is if you've
had girls growing up, I grew up
with two sisters, my daughter, I
have two stepdaughters social
contagion is something that
happens with girls typically in
middle school. We've seen it
with tic disorder. And we saw
this 1012 years ago, John, we
saw what is all this, these
girls, you know, all sudden,
they got tics, there's no they
don't have Tourette's, that
social contagion, they pick it
up from one another. And this
guy really nails what's going
on. And the Kardashians,
luckily, are partially to blame.
So what
Unknown: we're looking at is
what's called a social
contagion. And I address that as
well in the film. But we do
actually have markers for the
conditions that created this
explosion. And it lines up with
three things, smartphones,
social media, and a massive
crash in teenage girls, mental
health, social media and
smartphones being given to girls
that are in middle school. What
happens in in the data in the
research is that the mental
health of girls went into a
crisis. We have preteens being
hospitalized for cutting
themselves at huge increases. I
think it's something like 160%.
And so you look at all of those
things. And then you look at the
fact that social media has been
a, a channel for gender ideology
to saturate the world of these
girls because of the
psychological makeup of girls
because they internalized their
stress. And because they rely
more on peer connections for
developing their identity and
connecting with other girls in
ways that boys don't. Then
social media when they're in
middle school, it caused them to
behave so differently and it
caused their sense of themselves
in the embodied sense of self
and their idea of their bodies
to be deeply warped. So they
started seeing all these girls
with filters, and the
celebrities on social media. And
it really, really deeply worked
them. And it worked them in two
ways. And we see this in the
research in my film, either they
go along with the Kim
Kardashians, and they start to
want to breast augmentations in
the labia pasties or they are
terrified by this hypersexual
image of womanhood. And as they
approach the precipice of
puberty, they decided that if
they can avoid puberty, they can
avoid becoming this hyper sexual
being. And they are told, when
they have those sensations in
those ideas, they are told, Oh,
that means that you're a boy.
Adam Curry: I think he's spot
on. And I remember I remember we
talked about on the show
whenever and when all the girls
are getting boob jobs, like what
is going on. And now and now
they've ended the same surgeons,
the same cosmetic surgeons are
now doing top surgery a add them
or remove them, those guys don't
care. They're ghouls. And it is
rampant. And parents better get
their shit together and start
talking about this and start
speaking up, and I have to give
props to Project Veritas. They
did just release an undercover
video with some almost decent
sound. It's funny, I got a note
from our knight, who was, you
know, the executive director of
Project. And he says, you know,
people are really mad at you
guys. So why to because you
know, you say we haven't done
anything. We haven't done
anything. And I said, Well,
that's exactly what we said, but
no one really remembers what
you've done. And, and so he sent
me a list. It's quite a long
list. And you know, people have
had to resign over stuff. But
the reason is, your audio has
always sucked so bad that
there's no way to remember it.
You always have to watch a
video. With subtitles. You have
to really do a lot of that as
you have a lot of energy to
consume.
John C Dvorak: It takes a lot of
work. Yes.
Adam Curry: So this is getting
better. We have actually helped
them with the audio. It's
getting better. And this is a
pretty short clip. But this kind
of accentuates what is happening
with teenage girls.
Unknown: This Project Veritas
investigation exposes a booming
business of transgender
surgeries, hormones and puberty
blockers for underage children
on its way to being a $1 billion
a year industry. At New York's
Mount Sinai Adolescent Health
Center. Hospital staff told us
they need young patients,
we need to look at patients we
are hands on with all of our
patients, adolescents, we deal
with the patients that come in
at 10 to come here about
ourselves. So we need to patient
years old coming by themselves
and loving. Yes. All over.
Here we are at the proud center
in Somerville, New Jersey.
That's Ashley Isaiah Harris,
health coordinator discussing
treatments for hypothetical 10
year old child.
So the youngest we've seen come
here that's known that they are
trans has been eight months.
Adam Curry: And this is the guy
that got a new host with floppy
hair. He's kind of interesting.
He might actually just take over
from O'Keefe and work fine if
they keep doing stuff like this
John C Dvorak: what gets me is
that if you listen to the left
and I'm by that I mean the
progressive Democrats they are
in complete denial about all
this of nobody's working on kids
that are eight nine. That's a
right wing lie. I know. I can't
quite figure out why you're so
adamant. Because
Adam Curry: with so it's
political now. Now we have the
Republicans are creating anti
trans transphobic legislation.
They're attacking children. That
is all politicized. That's why
it's gender affirming care over
here. So they're using it
completely for politics, because
these kids eventually will be
old enough to vote, but it's the
parents. The their target here I
believe, is the affluent white
liberal woman mom, who has
nothing to complain about. She's
got money, but it's a problem
because she has no use. You
know, she has no she's not a
victim of anything. So this is
where you get to Oh, but my, my
Oh, my daughter is trans. My son
is trans and it's accentuated by
the celebrities. Look at all the
celebrity affluent white women,
mainly, who have a trans child.
It's be it's like it's like when
Paris Hilton Hilton had a
chihuahua in her pocket book.
It's the same thing. And so they
this it's a great way to say
Republicans are horrible people.
They will not give children
care. They shorten it
John C Dvorak: forever. Are
these Republicans they won't
they won't sterilize their own
kids.
Adam Curry: So that's this
female side of it. What is
highly interesting is the male
side, which I think is the
distraction. I think these men
in sports. They do these things
for very different reasons.
Personally, having researched I
think a lot of it is because of
porn, and men become so
desensitized by porn that they
actually, there's no, I mean,
look, let's be honest about it.
Men are weird. Some men want to
have sex in diapers, okay, men
are very weird after they've
been. It's true. It's true. Men
do weird stuff. Young boys
particularly they're so
desensitized to sex through
porn, that they actually want to
have sex with a woman as a
woman. I mean, this is a real
thing that's happening. But more
concerning is the high amount of
transgender men to women in our
armed services. I didn't know
this statistic 21.4% of the
total transgender population in
the US in the US is estimated to
have served in the military 32%
of transgender individuals in
the US who are assigned assigned
male at birth, who had a penis,
or have served in the military
compared to 5.5 transgender
individuals who were assigned
female at birth. That's a lot of
military people out there who
can be maybe unstable even. And
this is not to take away from
people of trued true gender
dysphoria or dysmorphia. It
exists very small number very,
very small number. And then in
the NICU, Scott Adams. And I'm
sure he's doing it to prove a
point. But He better get to the
point, what percentage of people
who have transitioned D
transition? And then people are
like, Oh, 3% 5%, it's 83%,
according to the people who do
that work in the documentary
affirmation generation, but
Google says it's less than 1%.
So this, this is a this is a
real psychological operation.
And we're being distracted by
the likes of Dylan Mulvaney. And
everyone's like, Oh, yeah, well,
that marketing VP at bud got
fired. She's out. She's on
leave. Yeah, we won. We got the
anti woke one. No, no, no, we're
losing our children. And this is
where it comes from that mouse
thing. Just like Black Lives
Matter. Destroy the family. We
already got. We are destroyed
black families. Congratulations.
We don't need BLM anymore. We
get all the black men out of the
black families. Good job,
everybody. Go look at Chicago.
That's fatherless children on
the street. Right. Good job well
done. new mayor. He'll be fine.
And now we have to take away
womanhood so that even the
demographics will not be you
can't be on can't have children
only in the live Google kids.
That's what that's where you get
to create your children where it
is a serious situation. And
repeat repeat only in America is
not happening in other
countries. They have discovered
the countries that were leading
the UK, France and Netherlands
Denmark, Sweden. Oh, boys not so
good. We have done the research.
Long term not so good for these
people. So there you go. I thank
God that I am no longer a father
of a teen child, a teen
daughter, teen girl as bad news.
And that alone, the whole Biden
administration should be thrown
out every single time they say
gender affirming care. No, no,
it's a lie. This is serious
disgusting lie. And also if they
said that, hey, let's get rid of
tick tock for that reason I'd be
all for it. Because tick tock as
we know there Al Gore rhythm
works completely differently
from all the other Al Gore
rhythms and instead of creating
strife within your community of
trans they just pile it on you
I've seen I saw this with I saw
it with my own daughter I've
seen it with with girls and it
was you know the eating
disorders the cutting all of
this happen when the iPhone or
not the
John C Dvorak: iPhone the iPhone
is the business is the source of
all this evil 2007
Adam Curry: I think was probably
2008 2009 When it really rolled
out and they'll
John C Dvorak: it was it was it
was a remarkable when it came
out it
Adam Curry: was two does this
happen very quickly. It happens
so quick. Yeah, because it was
so cool. Yeah, and all the girls
at the time in middle school
were already having problems
with their T Mobile sidekick you
know because now they could text
each other rapidly and they were
you know, there was back
channeling a screw here screw
here but you know, teenage girls
work differently from teenage
boys. And there's it's it's
traumatizing sometimes for
teenage girls. So, then the
iPhone then you add some social
media. And then it just goes
walks through them all this Like
after the show, go to the mall.
Show me all the kids in
strollers with a screen in front
of them. Do you mind is what
they just did there? Chalk them
up to death
Okay, okay. Okay. I know Bob.
We're we are very accepting of
everybody. We really don't care
who you are where you're from
that's what no agenda nation has
always been about. But this this
is now we've gone too far. So
all right now let's do something
fun.
John C Dvorak: Well, there's a
strike in Canada. I think this
has not been reported as much
Unknown: as right in Canada.
Yeah, picket lines are up at
federal government MPs offices
across Canada, as federal
workers there go on strike. But
bargaining continues between the
government in Canada's largest
public service union. Dan Karpen
truck reports major disruptions
of government services are
expected some of those
service disruptions are already
being felt as countrywide about
250 picket lines have been set
up. Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau had urged the union the
Public Service Alliance of
Canada to return to the table
during a pause in the talks. It
represents 155,000 federal
government workers, but if that
number about 46,000 are
considered essential and not
part of the strike. The workers
have been without a contract for
almost two years. A statement
from the Treasury Board said the
two sides are still far apart on
key issues, higher wages and
better working conditions.
Should the strike continue it
could affect the tax season,
passport and immigration
processing and services
Canadians rely on to travel.
Adam Curry: Well, that's
interesting because there's also
a problem even though we don't
have a strike. Hold on a second.
I had this here. Yeah, we have
this
Unknown: tonight passport
problems posing a threat to
summer vacation.
Adam Curry: This is interesting.
So they they mark it up to a
strike in Canada passport
problems. Here. It's just I
don't know
Unknown: Rachel quarter owns
family is all booked for two
weeks in Europe. This is sort
of our last big family trip for
a while with my son going off to
college.
But the trip to Paris, Amsterdam
and Bruges is now in jeopardy
because of a massive backlog of
passport applications that can
stretch up to three months.
It's very frustrating because it
Why does it have to be so
convoluted I've already made
hotel reservations, train
reservations, everything planned
out.
Many passport offices are seeing
long lines ahead of what's
expected to be a record setting
summer travel season.
Adam Curry: And I'm emitted into
this. I still don't know why
this is happening. It's
implausible.
Unknown: Others are taking their
frustration to social media and
it's going to take another five
to seven weeks.
My advice on Thursday, while
lawmakers
take aim at the State
Department. It shouldn't take a
crisis and shouldn't get this
bad before we see action out of
Washington.
The State Department issued
nearly 22 million passports last
year a record high the agency
expects to break this year as
500,000 applications a week keep
rolling in despite an increase
in funding and more staff wait
times recently surged up to 13
weeks.
Adam Curry: I'm going to call it
they don't want people
traveling. Something's going on.
I'm sure this is happening in
every country. I'll bet you it's
happening every country that
John C Dvorak: being a person
people in the couple of
countries out there you should
check
Unknown: in Yeah, well, I'm
gonna have people check in.
Definitely.
John C Dvorak: It could be could
be something up.
Adam Curry: We got a note from a
producer in France with a very
interesting very interesting
analysis. You know, they
continue to riot and protest of
the following McCrone I have a
clip I'm not gonna play it.
Follow McCrone around the bang
and pots and pans. Police are
knocking heads. And we already
know it's not just 62 year olds
who are pissed or 61 year olds
who are pissed about not being
able to retire at 62 and having
to wait until 64. So boots on
the ground report from France.
I'm finally responding to the
call. This is our one French
listener John, the one since I
think everyone will benefit from
a glaring omission in the
coverage of French protests and
riots over the retirement age
background. I grew up in America
and spent over 20 years in
France, including a long time
both in Paris and deep in the
countryside. So of course, it's
not a real Frenchman. What
everyone outside of France seems
to not see in all the photos and
videos of the protests is that
the leaders are the CGT union.
Yes, I saw the flags CGT union,
which is by a longshot, the
biggest public communist force
in France. Likewise, when the
media reported that university
students are rising up,
everything I saw was banners
from Paris aid, which everyone
in the know knows is the
communist University in Paris.
Yeah, the people rising up are
the same ones who masked up told
people to take the back And
we're happy to stay home for
months on the government dime
and collect their pay during the
lockdowns. Notice that they're
protesting over raising the
retirement age by two years and
aren't making a stink over out
of control inflation, ever
increasing taxation, millions of
illegal immigrants collecting
welfare money, while more and
more French citizens are
retiring in near poverty
conditions. Another example of
what I see as a well honed
French technique of the French
government working with national
leaders of extreme movements to
channel people's justifiable
anger and frustration into
relatively unimportant fights
that benefit the system. This is
how it's done. People getting
all jacked and basically saying,
turn me into a communist please.
I never hear back and I never I
always thought that the new
world order would be George
Bush. And the Republicans would
be the new world order how wrong
I was. It's the commies, all of
them. commies, the reds, the
Reds man, the commies. We're
back with another Red Scare.
John C Dvorak: Well, one of the
things that's interesting is the
communist threat or the menace
the communist menace commie
communists? Yeah, is has been
kind of pushed into the
background it has been. It's
reorg Oh, it moves way back and
this and I said, Well, what can
we do now? Because you had this
has not been working. So they
lay low. And then they come back
with all kinds of the different
strategies and endued
unfortunately, the strategy
that's being played on us, which
is Maui Tran is a trans mount,
which is a no one can recognize
it. It's just like, oh, well,
no, no, I don't get it. They
mean well, as opposed to the
regular communists, which in
Europe is never gone away. So it
can come pop up anytime it wants
in Spain. Yep. And in France, in
particular, those are two states
that go communist, you know,
almost a drop of a hat. As
opposed to the Maoist stuff,
which is all new. This has never
really been done. Mouse card has
never been played on Westerners.
Adam Curry: Well, they're doing
a great job. But a man who I
think did a tremendous,
tremendous job. The UK has
become totally, totally
communist and shut up slave. I
mean, they're arresting people
all the time for saying stuff on
social media to arrest people.
Yeah, no, it's a great one guy
called his neighbor of
leprechaun, and they came over
and arrested him on social
media. This is fantastic.
John C Dvorak: He should stay
off social media.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your
courage to hear in the morning
to you the man who puts the sea
in the carbon Godzilla, ladies
and gentlemen say hello to my
friend on the other day
John C Dvorak: well, in the
morning new Mr. Adam curry also,
in Moreno chips, he boots on the
ground, feet in the air subs in
the water all the games at
nighttime. In the
Adam Curry: morning Jude, the
troll room. We got tons of
trolls hanging out the trolls
are there because they listen to
the show live on Thursdays and
Sundays. We have a room where
you know, I'm going to count and
count them right away the Oh
2306. Nice. Good troll count.
That's good, isn't it for Sunday
John C Dvorak: 2306 22. So 2250s
are probably the median.
Adam Curry: All right, so we're
knocking it out of the park.
John C Dvorak: So I don't know
about you knocking it
Adam Curry: so that you can go
to troll room.io That's where
you can you can get into the
troll room. You can listen to
the live stream, or we recommend
getting a modern podcast app at
podcast apps.com. There's more
apps coming online now that do
this particular type of live
show. You can use it for all
your podcast apps, you can
import all your old from your
old legacy system like Apple bow
who would use that. And it's a
pod verse, podcast addict
podcast guru curio caster, and
you'll even get an alert on some
of them when we go live and we
hit the bad signal. And more and
more podcasts are starting to do
this. Now that the herd is
thinning out. People are
dropping off podcasts are going
away. Because they don't know
how to do it. They don't listen
to us. We tell them how to do
value for value. Oh no, they're
waiting for ads. Good luck,
suckers. It's not going to work.
You gotta follow Uncle John,
Uncle Adam. And we do this
through a number of ways. Of
course, our community. We have
no agenda social.com where you
can follow us. You can follow us
from any Mastodon account
anywhere. It's Jhansi Dvorak had
no agenda social.com Adam and no
agenda social.com. And as part
of our value for value system,
We have producers literally
producing and no one's a
listener here yet you listen but
you're a listening producer. So
some people build webs side some
people go out and promote some
people hit people in the mouth.
people support us with with
finances very important job. We
also have artists who create
artwork so we can change our art
every single show. And this
flows through to T shirts, mugs,
hoodies, all kinds of stuff and
no agenda shop.com, another
producer organized business, we
have no relationship with that.
Other than then they work out a
deal with the artists and then
from time to time the shop
donates money to the show. And
we have no meetings, no content,
no lawyers. That's the main
thing of meetings and lawyers is
the depth of every podcast, I'm
telling you. So we want to thank
the artists for episode 1548. We
titled that the dangle up second
time in a row, I think was it
not? It? Was it two in a row do
we had no we had one in between?
That's right. No, no, no, you
came back capitalist agenda.
This was our 420 show. So people
were also happy to donate for
20. Pennies dimes, nickels
dollars. Fantastic promotion. We
loved it. We do it every single
year, even though I no longer
actually am a 420 participant.
That's the weirdest thing about
it. Yeah, God bless you. And he
did a beautiful New World Order
logo with no agenda, the all
seeing eye with weed leaves for
eyelashes, little puffs of weed
smoke through and a 33 It's
almost a challenge coin worthy
Novus Ordo hilarium, which is
New World laughter I guess. Is
that what it means Novus Ordo?
hilarium thinking means new
world, new world laughter.
John C Dvorak: Are they means
force? Force? Okay. We love Yes.
And when I saw this piece, I
really liked it from the
beginning. And I said, I guess
Paul couture is gonna get
another award. And it was
because it has Paul couture
written all over it. Yeah. But
yet,
Unknown: it was not. It was
John C Dvorak: not Paul couture
tour tour.
Adam Curry: But and so no agenda
art generators, where you can
see all the art that the artists
submit. It is a competition.
We're very honest about our
choices. We explain why we
choose something in this case,
we thought it was a Paul Couture
piece. So that's why we chose
it. I guess.
John C Dvorak: I think Paul's up
for another. Well, there it is.
I'll just use oh, wait a minute.
Adam Curry: Let me see that. We
had a couple of those.
Definitely some interesting
stuff. Why don't have to go to
the second page here. Since it
was for 20. We had a lot of
different weeds stuff.
John C Dvorak: I liked the one
with Biden weed smoke,
Adam Curry: had mentioned that
Yeah, with Kamala Harris is the
cop behind him in the White
House. Yeah, yeah. But it was
just so sick of that wasn't
gonna make it. We had a lot of
episode number ones, which, you
know, if you put your episode
number on it, you're not not
always guaranteed to get chosen.
We had things that were just not
scare a manga Francisco scare
monger. He has a very particular
style, and he's now since he had
a when he's just doing a whole
bunch, but that style doesn't
always work. Bob Marley wasn't
gonna We're by the way using Bob
Marley. You can actually get
sued over that. Those guys don't
mess around with Bob Marley
image. Circle Polka tours was
kind of funny. It's at the
bottom of bottom left of page
one. I don't know if there was
that up there. When we were
looking at the Oh yeah,
John C Dvorak: I saw I was the
cheesecake. Yeah, it's not a bad
cheesecake. No, but it was you
know, wasn't related to the
show. It wasn't dynamite. No,
the dynamite piece was
Adam Curry: it when we take it
just one that we both chuckled
at Nikko Symes unplugged Joe, I
thought it was kind of funny.
The back of the president's head
with a plug being pulled out of
the saw get it out of a socket.
Dangle ops, which was the title
that wasn't a great who did
that? That was mountain J.
Amadis. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: we didn't discuss
this a lot. The Dangle ops. No,
no, no, we didn't discuss the
art that much. Because this
piece was so good. It was good.
Adam Curry: We just went
straight for the jugular. You're
right. Thank you very much
artists, we appreciate all the
work you do always forever.
There are now let me count them.
Let me say we've had 1500. And
this would be the 49th episode
29,577 pieces of art that I
mean, that is it is amazing. I
always pray that someone is
archiving this entire site. I
have a version of an archive. I
think you have a version of an
archive. We're just hoping for
Paul couture who runs it has a
good archive because it is I
mean, this is history.
John C Dvorak: And there's
actually a previous site to this
that still has probably a few
1000 pieces that are no idea
lost to history have no idea
where that went. And finally
remember that error they believe
it's possible that the Wayback
Machine has it
Adam Curry: If they don't get
sued out of existence, though
they won't. So that's just one
of the many ways you can help
it. You can do all kinds of
thing you organize a meet up.
There's so many things you can
do as a producer be boots on the
ground. Everybody's an expert in
one thing when you hear us
fumbling and bumbling, if we
don't ever do or saying
something wrong, or if there's
something in the news that you
really know about, and it's
being discussed incorrectly, by
us or others send us a note. We
read these notes. We're
interested. You heard us read
several on the show today. This
is this is part of the power of
people as people power producer
people power. And we also need
finances, there's no doubt about
it. If you don't support us
financially, then eventually
we'll have to go find another
way to make money. Today is not
bad. We appreciate the donations
that have come in we kick it off
with our top executive producer
Baron of backwardation and note
this is a baron so this is
someone who has supported the
show over several periods of
time with some good treasuries

our shifts on those days. And if
we noticed anything Wow. And we
do get a lot of information from
the Aviators. We love discussing
the shows that work and often
follow frequency changes to
pilots within in the morning. I
have not heard that.
John C Dvorak: Well let's have a
good escape. We need a recording
I
Adam Curry: need a recording of
the ATC live I need a recording
of like yes frequency change
approved in the morning. My wife
is currently on leave to take
care of our most recent human

hospital gas was $3.33 in
Franklin, Indiana. We apologize
for the delay donation we look
forward to each show to each
show week and love what you guys
do. You have boots on the ground
in the air traffic world. If you
ever have questions, we'd like
to call out our fellow
comptroller Dave as a douchebag.
Dave hit us in the mouth a few
years back and still hasn't
donated. In his defense. He
married a woman who was a
divorced divorce attorney for a
father so when that ended you
can imagine where all Dave's
money went. Flight Control eight

Pockets jingle Oh, I do have
your Hot Pockets jingle and I
think I have a rebel iser number

John C Dvorak: let me finish
reading this place. Hopefully
this note doesn't garner any
pissing and moaning or
admonishment from either our
favorite people or we listened
to ITM. So it this really was
not a super long note and it did
have some information Yeah, but
we can I can do that there's no
it's too long.

a homemade example which is
probably not fit for playing on
the show. But you can play it if
you want to. I saw it linked. I
got it. I got it. Please share
this with the usual suspects for

Formula is this. We go out yet
people in the mouth
we will have a second donation
segment. We have a lot of meet
up reports. John, you won from
the fair warning. Well, I had
the good. I mean, we had so many
for 20 meetups, that people
reported from all over the
world. We also have a short
version of the Nashville meetup.
They sent us a five version five
minute version of one meetup
report like No, no, no, no, you
got to make it shorter, and did
a good job on it. So ah,
goodness, where are we?
John C Dvorak: Well, let's start
with this interesting. You know,
you're talking about apps and
the phone and mobile and all
this stuff. Yeah. Well, we have
a new app. The US government, of
course has put this new app out.
Have you heard about the title
42 app? No, no, I guess Yeah.
All the immigrants coming in
have to use this app. And of
course, it doesn't work
Adam Curry: web Is this the one
they get that's pre installed on
the phone that they get with
their credit with their debit
card that they get.
John C Dvorak: I don't know if
it's pre installed or not, but
they do have it. Okay, but
here's the story behind it. This
is a title 42 app, the binary
you're
Unknown: gonna stration is using
a cell phone app as the main
Porter for migrants seeking
asylum at the US Mexico border.
The app was first rolled out in
January, but it's been plagued
with glitches. It's ALi Rogen
tells us that it's forcing 10s
of 1000s of people to compete
daily for a limited number of
appointments
since March 2020. A public
health policy called Title 42
has allowed border agents to
expel migrants, even those who
are seeking asylum. But that
policy ends on May 11. And the
Customs and Border Patrol app
could become even more
essential. Here to discuss this
Wall Street Journal immigration
reporter Michelle Hackman
Michelle, thank you so much for
joining us. Let's remind
everybody first How does title
42 work? And how does this app
fit in with the title 42
process?
So title 42 is a policy that
because of public health
reasons, allows the government
to sort of they call it
expelling migrants back to
Mexico or their home. countries
on the risk that they might
spread COVID. But the really key
point here is that it prevents
the migrants, the asylum seekers
from even asking for asylum.
Under normal circumstances, if
you ask for asylum, they cannot
kick you out of the country. I
mean, that's how asylum law
works.
And then this new system that is
replacing title 42, how does it
work? And then how does this app
fit into that?
Yeah, so this app,
wow, what is this NPR?
John C Dvorak: No, this PBS?
Unknown: Yeah. And then this new
system that is replacing title
42? How does it work? And then
how does this app fit into that?
Yeah, so this app, it's called
CBP, one, it's actually been
introduced already, even while
title 42 is still in place. And
the way it works is that if
you're an asylum seeker, you
essentially can't ask for asylum
if you cross the border
illegally, which is the way that
most people try. And so instead,
the government is saying use
this app, book an appointment,
you can come to illegal trade,
ask for asylum, and we'll take
you the only issue is there are
just way fewer appointments than
there are people who want them.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, okay, let
me get this straight. So we've
been told for years, I'm going
to say up seven, eight years,
that you can only request asylum
and asylum. Asylum is a good
thing. There's lots of people
who need asylum, they need
asylum because they're being
persecuted in their home
country, etc. Okay, fine. The
only way you can do it is if you
go to a legal point of entry
where asylum can be requested.
So because so many people are
being bussed in by the likes of
Soros and the UN, the UN
literally busing people to the
border to the US border, to
illegal points of entry for
where you cannot request asylum.
They've now just come up with an
app and said, well, as long as
you use the app and you fill it
out, then you basically have a
legal view of legally requested
asylum. Who cares if there's an
appointment, you get let in, you
get an appointment, when it's
up, your app will ping you. But
you now have legally requested
asylum because of this app.
John C Dvorak: Something like
that, except for one small
issue,
Unknown: the app doesn't work.
Exactly.
John C Dvorak: Is that clip to?
Yeah, pretty much.
Unknown: And let's talk about
what problem exactly this app is
trying to fix.
The Biden administration, you
know, is taking, I would say, a
slightly different approach from
the Trump administration where,
like the Trump administration,
they're saying, we really don't
want you to cross illegally, you
know, it's unsafe for everyone
involved, it creates chaos. It
doesn't allow us to screen who's
entering our country. But unlike
Trump, they're saying to try to
convince people to not come
illegally, you have to give them
another option. So this is that
other option at ports of entry.
And there are a couple other
things who who said, they have
to do that when just
to try to convince people to not
come illegally, you have to give
them another
was at the bite who said I want
to use it that it creates
chaos. It doesn't allow us to
screen who is entering our
country. But unlike Trump,
they're saying to try to
convince people to not come
illegally, you have to give them
another option. Just
Adam Curry: just the
administration just said that
they just made up a new rule
like Oh, you gotta give him an
option. Yeah. Oh, this is,
before we continue with this
clip, I want to remind
everybody, according to the
former New York banker, the only
reason America wins is because
we have a growing population.
Everyone knows China will not
win because they're in decline,
the EU is totally in decline.
And as they sterilize our girls
castrate our boys, they are
making sure that the bankers
will win, they will win because
of this constant flow of human
bodies into our country.
Unknown: So this is that other
option at ports of entry.
And there are a couple other
things that the Biden
administration is trying,
they've opened up some
additional legal pathways. Can
you talk about those, so they're
trying this totally new idea
that that is sort of a novel
legal theory where they're
saying, you know, even if you
don't qualify for a visa, and
you're from a certain set of
countries, where you're fleeing
from authoritarianism, say, you
know, Venezuela or Cuba, you can
apply to come to the US. As long
as you have a sponsor who will
take you will let you fly here
illegally to the city of your
choice. Let's say you want to go
to Chicago. And we'll give you a
legal permit to be here for two
years at work. So it's sort of
an incentive, because it's a way
better situation than crossing
the border and immediately being
put in immigration court. You
were
recently at the border where
people are using this app to
apply for these appointments.
How is it working? What are some
of the problems that folks are
facing? And also, what is life
like for people on that side of
the border?
It's interesting, we haven't
actually tried using a mobile
app to do border management
before. And like any other app
that you download on your phone,
it's not perfect, you know,
people every day in the morning
they log on to try to get an
appointment their new point.
mints made available every day,
let's say at about 9am. But
there's so many people trying at
the same time that the app
stalls, you know, it goes gray
or it gives you a 504 error.
Sometimes, you know, this is a
big issue that the government's
been trying to solve. There are
a lot of migrants, let's say
from Haiti who have darker
facial complexions. And you have
to take a picture to prove it's
you before you get your
appointment. And it struggles I
made it with those darker
complexions that sometimes
doesn't recognize people's
faces.
John C Dvorak: Okay, okay. So
first and solve the years ago,
but they can't seem to solve it
with their you can I like to
know what this app cost to
develop?
Adam Curry: Oh, I shudder to
think of that. But I like the it
gives the 504 error. Does this
nitwit even know what a 504
errors that means? The server is
timing out because it's shite.
That means your server just
isn't responding. It's not a 404
that the page doesn't exist a
504 Gateway timeout error, which
means it's not the server is not
responding.
John C Dvorak: She's not
Unknown: gonna go into that. But
the Cavalier is less like other
apps. He goes Greg
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's
true. It's very cavalier the way
she spoke of the other apps but
it really there's plenty of apps
that work fine
Adam Curry: it accentuates
exactly what I said. Oh, just
get a ticket. You can come in
here you get a work visa for two
years.
John C Dvorak: man Yeah, we know
how that goes. Man. It's been
two years learning English and
then you're good to go to go
Yeah.
Unknown: Wow. Get a
John C Dvorak: driver's license
in California no problem you
know, it is replenishing our
stock especially with the our
own people refuse yes to have
chill, reproduce. Yeah, our
stock or sterilizing your kids.
Adam Curry: As early as your
kids, it's what the bankers
want. And then
John C Dvorak: you can you can
pay their medical bills for the
rest of your life. Man,
Unknown: that's Java. Okay. All
right. Beautiful.
John C Dvorak: It's just
beautiful.
Adam Curry: It's beautiful.
Alright, a couple things we have
different to talk about. We
haven't talked about the leaker
denial. Yes,
John C Dvorak: we do have to
talk well, I think we also need
to talk about the mike Morel oh
Adam Curry: no yeah, that flows
the leaker flows into Mike
morale. It's all it's all either
the lack of clips I have some
John C Dvorak: I have some is
good because the lack of clips
on the mainstream media is
really sketchy. For the for the
mike morale stuff. It's a
complete news blackout which
they blacked it out which Okay,
so well, you're better off
reading into newsletter dead
last newsletter. All I wrote
about was the mike Morales.
Let's
Adam Curry: let's do Mike
Moreau. Let's just do Mike where
I want to do Mike morale. So,
first of all, oh, boy, I sound
like Elon Musk.
John C Dvorak: You do the same
thing.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna wait. Let
me just get into so we thought
that this was a pure takedown of
Joe Biden. It seems that because
the mike Morel thing is kind of
being hushed up. Maybe it's a
little more than that. What it
seems to me as we understand the
story of Mike Morel when the
Hunter Biden laptop story broke
quite swiftly there were 50. You
it. It'd be interesting to play
one of those clips. Let me see
50 Intel. I wonder if we have
hot
John C Dvorak: shots like
Michael Hayden
Unknown: intil. Laptop, I wonder
what those clips were taught
were titled, onto your laptop.
John C Dvorak: While you're
Incorporated, mostly in news
coverage,
Adam Curry: I guess they were so
there were 50 intelligence
leaders
John C Dvorak: 50 Plus, yeah,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Who all signed this
letter. And this letter all is
clear. It's right. It has all
the hallmarks of Russian
disinformation, all the
hallmarks of Russian
disinformation. Yeah, we learned
from the Senate Intelligence
Committee, which of course is
now run by Republicans. No, it's
not. No the Senate Senate you're
right, the Senate but it's the
it's to two Republicans on the
Senate committee who have
unleashed this information.
Yeah, you can still do that.
Hold on a second. I think I have
a mini cut. This is what was
happening and this is from the
date here is March of 2022.
Unknown: Hunter Biden this
laptop that intelligence
officials have warned or is
likely Russian disinformation.
I get pretty fired up about how
this works because I mean, if
the New York Post tells you your
mom loves you, you should check
it out. We are not talking about
fully reliable sources here
feels like a repeat from last
cycle. It's the you know, but
her emails again And it's kind
of ridiculous featuring all the
usual suspects Hunter Biden
mysterious emails Ukrainian
businessman that that
Adam Curry: that that hold on we
have found another clip
incriminating
Unknown: evidence allegedly
found on a laptop belonging to
Biden
some sort of Russian
disinformation
campaign One
John C Dvorak: eternity later
Biden emails finally
authenticated according to The
New York Times is rewinds a lie
altered or
Unknown: fake unverified emails
that story did not quite land
due to the lack of verification
what can be verified the laptop
because it can't be verified we
got to report this this is the
one of the most power because
families in Washington a
journalist okay you guys will
start doing that verify no we're
not going to do your work for
you journalists
for all we know these emails are
made up
not really stories just pure
distractions no serious
journalists should fall for it
down if this is verified bottom
line is we cannot confirm the
story experts
say the emails cannot be
authenticated
the mainstream media is not
reporting on the story because
we can authenticate this
material the Hunter Biden laptop
material is genuine genuine
genuine This is a classic
example of the right wing media
she just lacks credibility the
fact that it appeared in the New
York Post
The only place low enough to put
this stuff in bastard story in
print obvious disinformation it
is so obviously the washing
operation so
obviously this information and
so obviously a Russian plot tell
me why it's so obviously a
Russian plot it's
just classic textbook of Soviet
Russian tradecraft at war.
Right exactly. I'm this is very
classic Russian disinformation.
This
Adam Curry: is so good to have
this in retrospect. This is your
no agenda show by the way. Okay,
so when asked you, best podcast
and universities in the leaked
documents look around for a
wrinkled piece of paper. So
yeah, that was what the media
was doing. Just incessantly
nonstop. Russian disinformation
can't be verified can't be
authenticated. And now it turns
out Oh, and
John C Dvorak: by the way, let's
let's stop for a second. You and
I both had gotten various copies
of some of the files from this
thing. Oh, yeah. It was you
didn't need to verify it was
Hunter Biden mostly videos?
Yeah. Of him cavorting with
these hookers. And and
masturbating on camera,
Unknown: sex workers, jobs, sex
workers.
John C Dvorak: It was sexual
workers. He was any smoking
crack, and he, his teeth rotted
out? And I mean, it went and
then there's all these
documents, there was tons of
emails, and it was and it all
can't be verified. What do you
need to verify what specifically
on this laptop on these and
meanwhile they Chris, they
slammed Giuliani and Giuliani
was completely immoral and
Adam Curry: they were going to
arrest him, they're going to
arrest him. And you see now that
BuzzFeed who were part of you
know, all of this very, very,
especially with the PP tape and
all that and the dossier and all
the against Trump, they're now
basically out of business. Yeah,
well, there's no there's no
news. There's no BuzzFeed fired
everybody.
John C Dvorak: They were taken
off the last budget, I guess
it'd be CIA
Adam Curry: was done. So okay,
so now we learned from the
Senate Intel Committee, that
Mike morale testified behind
closed doors. He said, Well, you
know, Anthony Blinken asked me
to write this up. And I did and
you know why he did? Of course,
because he foolishly thought
that he would become CIA
director. That's obvious.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah. And
he's really obvious.
Adam Curry: And he even says,
Well, you know, I wanted Biden
to win so that's why I wrote
this up. Everybody signed on all
these all the clapper Brennan,
all these guys. A horrible the
media. That's actually a four
minute megakat only played a
minute and a half. The media
just going on and on and on
about can't be true. It's not
true. Can't be verified. And you
know, we were able to verify it
easily, very easily. You were
verified a lot of things.
Apparently. So now. Now, as we
say, The dolls are dancing in
the old country. The Papa Papa
is your sign on a dancer.
Unknown: Tonight the White House
responding to claims from an
anonymous whistleblower,
insisting President Biden has
upheld his commitment to let the
Justice Department handled the
investigation into his son
Hunter, free from any political
interference. So
Adam Curry: this is now we have
two stories going on at the same
time. One is a whistleblower
from the IRS Who says hey, I'm
willing to testify that that
none of Hunter Biden's crimes,
alleged crimes were
investigated. In fact, I was
told not to investigate the
insinuation is that Attorney
General garland himself has
something to do with that, and
it flows over into this letter
from Mike Morel.
Unknown: The whistleblower
claims that preferential
treatment and politics are
improperly infecting decisions
and protocols in the
investigation. The person who
sources described as a senior
IRS agent directly involved in
Hunter Biden's case says he has
evidence including emails and
other communication, but that he
won't reveal it until he gets
federal whistleblower
protections.
He feels like some of the steps
in the investigation have been
compromised by political
motivations and other things
like conflicts of interest.
The Justice Department has been
investigating Hunter Biden since
2018, focusing on whether he
properly paid taxes and whether
he made a false statement when
purchasing a gun. The US
Attorney in charge of the case
was appointed by former
President Trump and kept in
place by Attorney General
Merrick Garland. As proof he
would not be meddling in the
investigation.
I have pledged not to interfere
with that investigation and
I have carried on my pledge.
Today on Capitol Hill members of
both parties say they're taking
the whistleblower claim
seriously.
Anyone who steps forward
identifies themselves in a
whistleblower capacity is doing
it some risk politically or
personally. And so I take it
seriously. They don't always pan
out to be something worthwhile,
but we should take them
seriously.
Adam Curry: Yeah, there's a lot
of downplaying? Well, you know,
it might not be what we love to
do. Yeah. So unbeknownst to us,
after nine years, Mike Morrell
left CBS a month ago. Isn't that
convenience. And when you hear
his sign off from the mike Morel
podcast, it has a has a name,
which I think now I'm kind of
pissed, but I was not subscribed
to this podcast and listening
all the time. Here's his sign
off. Before we sign
Unknown: off this week. I want
to share some important news.
After nine terrific years, I've
recently decided to take a step
back and leave CBS News Now. Do
you think he was asked to step
back, John?
Adam Curry: Or did you have a
better gig somewhere than a
podcast?
John C Dvorak: Well, obviously,
you know, CBS News is connected.
Yeah, he was given the
opportunity to do something else
under conditions because he's
gonna go back into, you know,
