0:31
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. Management one today, one of those days we

0:50
Adam Curry: I thought the gay parade didn't start until Pride
0:53
Month, which was June.
0:55
John C Dvorak: I think this is Pride Month. No, I
0:57
Adam Curry: thought pride month was June. Oh, they're
0:59
John C Dvorak: sure making it out to be Pride Month.
1:05
Adam Curry: Must not be like other podcast. Let's just go
1:07
straight to the book of knowledge and find out.
1:10
John C Dvorak: Oh, I think we should just ad lib.
1:13
Adam Curry: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer
1:15
Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the
1:17
month of June. And you know why it is in the month of June?
1:24
Yeah, yes, correct to honor the 1969. Stonewall, even
1:28
John C Dvorak: though there were there were previous before
1:31
Stonewall. There was action in Los Angeles that predated
1:34
Stonewall, but no New York has to have everything going for it.
1:39
Adam Curry: Well, maybe that's why San Francisco is jumping the
1:43
gun going early for the pride but the prides just a thought
1:52
hey, I had to I got a new dinner. A dinner people to hang
1:56
out with here.
1:57
John C Dvorak: Oh, you have new friends.
2:00
Adam Curry: We have new Say that again? Because it really
2:03
diminishes it so much. So I really appreciate it. Your new
2:06
friends? Said the hermit twigs. Do you ever? Do you ever have
2:12
friends you have dinner with?
2:14
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, people were all the time. No, I
2:16
Adam Curry: mean, friends, just people. I mean, granted, I
2:18
John C Dvorak: know but I got no friends. Family. I was angry for
2:21
damage when you get older and you get guns
5:59
roll for a while they're on a roll. Happy Memorial Day
6:05
everybody. In America we celebrate this with mattress
6:08
sales. Very happy to very, very happy to buy a new mattress. Of
6:14
course this is when we remember the fallen and all the wars.
6:20
It's big out here. They'll now tell you you flags everywhere.
6:25
Here in the hill country of Texas. There's no mattress sales
6:28
here. There's no flags here. No, of course not the San Francisco
6:33
but the whole Bay Area hates America. Yeah. And so they
6:36
really not really no flags. That's your that's your
6:39
John C Dvorak: Bhutan and looking out the window. There's
6:41
not a flag in sight.
6:43
Adam Curry: That's really quite land.
6:44
John C Dvorak: I could probably dry it. I know where the flags
6:47
are there at the cemeteries right it will be flagged well of
6:51
course of course but but there are a number of flights actually
6:55
flying you know, people would put out nothing no, I probably
7:00
could drive all through all around today and I'd see no
7:04
flags.
7:04
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah, we should just divorce California I
7:08
guess.
7:09
John C Dvorak: But you know, if it could be it could stand on
7:11
its own bunch of
7:12
Adam Curry: haters. Yeah, you could but would you stay there
7:14
if it became the St. Louis trouble blue became the
7:18
communist republic of California you'd stay
7:21
John C Dvorak: it wouldn't ever become the communist Republic.
7:23
That's the funny thing.
7:24
Adam Curry: What would it become this
7:26
John C Dvorak: would be some sort of crazy place.
7:29
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, what it would become some kind of crazy
7:32
place. What do you mean would become you'll just be you'll be
7:38
quantified it will be so what I'm looking for codified as a
7:43
crazy they
7:44
John C Dvorak: talk a big game about communism. And they kind
7:47
of like you know, pretend it but this is but it's a bunch of old
7:50
ladies. That mentality is old kind of old conservative hand
7:55
wringing, never wash your hair style. It's like, you know, they
7:58
probably wouldn't be able to deal with actual communism where
8:01
people have to be told what to do. It's a more of an
8:06
anarchistic more than anything anarchistic and, and crazy old
8:11
ladies. I think I can agree with that guys and old men that wear
8:16
jeans there's like if you're over 60 years old, please don't
8:20
wear jeans and worry so you see this old guy and he's got this
8:25
short crop not a lesbian cut gray hair jeans t shirt at 65
8:33
years old and wearing a mask that is the Berkeley aight
8:39
Adam Curry: I'm actually had a clip I think about San Francisco
8:46
where people are getting fed up really fed up with the with the
8:51
drug problem and London breed got booed off the street. Is
8:56
London breed here your mayor London breed
8:58
John C Dvorak: London dirty linen breed.
9:02
Adam Curry: Irish now how come I can't find this now. This was
9:04
this was on my list for today. San Francisco. That's odd. Was
9:12
just did you not have this as a local report? They're about
9:17
John C Dvorak: they blur all the time.
9:19
Adam Curry: Now but I mean, it was about the drug problems
9:21
specifically. Oh, here it is. Oh, the drug
9:22
John C Dvorak: problem. Yeah, that's all they talk about. I
9:25
Adam Curry: got it. Here we go.
9:25
Unknown: Look, crowd gathered as the San Francisco Board of
9:28
Supervisors convened a special meeting at UN Plaza. The task of
9:32
addressing the Fentanyl crisis plaguing the streets
9:36
and I agree this is not a new problem. But it is one that has
9:39
become so visible that many San Franciscans do not feel safe.
9:43
Mayor
9:44
London breed was called before the board to publicly answer
9:47
questions on what's being done to combat and curtail open air
9:51
drug use.
9:52
We have tried over and over again. And what we are doing is
9:56
not working okay. In fact, our local resources is having
10:00
crease, but it is not dealt with the problem based on the
10:04
magnitude of what we are experiencing.
10:06
Reid says a new approach is necessary requiring more
10:10
accountability.
10:11
We want to get people help, but we will not continue to allow
10:14
things to just occur as they have been
10:17
some demand more
10:18
Adam Curry: what does that even mean? We want to give people
10:20
help, but we don't want things to occur as they have been, is
10:23
this the Kamala Harris School of talk?
10:25
John C Dvorak: It sounds like they can, by the way, I have
10:28
some Kamala Harris clips from West Point. Oh, good. Because
10:33
she, in fact, I just not to interrupt you, but I want to
10:36
play the one short clip, a super short one. Where she here it is
10:41
a 17 seconds. Paris at West Point, classic cliche
10:46
Unknown: to you is exciting and intuitive. You see what can be
10:53
unburdened by what has been. And you have the agility and the
10:58
ability to bring that potential to life. Wow.
11:05
John C Dvorak: How can she keep saying that is they should boo
11:08
Adam Curry: her but it's and it's that same one. It's just
11:11
it's this is this is the key.
11:12
Unknown: You see what can be unburdened by what has been
11:17
Adam Curry: that's that's the one that she keeps repeating
11:19
unburdened by what's been wherever she gives us species
11:22
says that, well, let's go back to London breed who has her own,
11:25
you know,
11:27
Unknown: kind of approach is necessary, requiring more
11:30
accountability.
11:31
We want to get people help, but we will not continue to allow
11:35
things to just
11:35
Adam Curry: up by the way, she also sounds a lot like
11:38
Lightfoot, doesn't she? Like Larry, Larry Lightfoot. Yes, she
11:42
does. He has a lot of that cadence and even the tone to
11:45
some degree,
11:45
Unknown: but we will not continue to allow things to just
11:48
occur and Stacey
11:49
Adam Curry: Abrams, good point trolls as they have been. Some
11:53
demand
11:53
Unknown: more attention on racial disparities and those
11:56
directly affected by the crisis to find solutions. What the
12:00
politicians in San Francisco need to do is take harm
12:03
reduction off the books and go back to an abstinence based
12:08
program. And in regards to substance abuse,
12:11
and others blame the mayor for the growing problem. Within 15
12:15
minutes of the meeting there was yelling and shouting as my
12:18
question soon the mayor requested she answered the
12:21
supervisors questions elsewhere,
12:23
we will recess this meeting to the Board of Supervisors chamber
12:27
while some supervisors were still near the street official
12:31
singer protest or through a brick toward the stage. The
12:34
person was quickly arrested and hauled away in handcuffs with
12:37
tempers
12:38
Adam Curry: by the way, they say a person it was a dude with long
12:40
hair in a mini dress. I'm just saying
12:42
Unknown: that your protests are through a brick Twitter siege,
12:45
the person was quickly arrested and hauled away in handcuffs
12:49
with tempers flaring supervisors and the mayor agree now is the
12:52
time for action.
12:54
We have some proposals that are on the table that will work with
12:57
adult probation that will work with the sheriff's department
12:59
that will say if you are an addict, if you are on the
13:02
process or the verge of of overdosing, we need to have
13:05
public health, sheriff's department and probation work
13:08
together so we can compel people into treatment. I am
13:11
putting everything on the line. I am doing this job without fear
13:16
of losing it.
13:17
One of the proposals on the table is to arrest repeat drug
13:21
offenders. But not all supervisors are on board.
13:24
Adam Curry: And that's the problem. They've got too many
13:27
supervisors who Oh no. And by the way, I'm seeing a lot of
13:31
white people. I don't know where all this racism comes from a
13:35
bump seeing white people dying on the streets of San Francisco
13:38
from lighting mostly.
13:40
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, we have our Baron anonymous cop and who
13:44
says this interesting. No. Yes, this was a great note. Everyone
13:48
knows the National Guard and higher patrol are coming to San
13:51
Francisco allegedly to help the police for the Fentanyl crisis.
13:54
Well, here's something the general public doesn't know yet.
13:57
San Francisco was quietly named to 2023 hosts for the APC the
14:02
Asian Pacific economic conference CEO summit in
14:06
November last year, this conference which will convene
14:09
world leaders and business executives to discuss creating
14:12
economic opportunity. The Asia Pacific premier business forum
14:16
will take place from November 15 to 16th and Moscone Center,
14:20
which is right in the middle of it, sessions will address gone
14:24
and I will SFPD which should have an operational capacity of
14:27
2000 police officers is under 1000 The streets are a mess
14:32
homeless and blah blah blah goes on about the problems the open
14:35
drug use selling and on and on. He says that this National Guard
14:41
hypertrophy is a is a is a fraud. It's just a backup to
14:45
police department and clean up this place a little bit, which
14:48
they did during the last Super Bowl event which they just
14:53
rousted everybody and they're gonna have to do that again by
14:55
November so they could bring in these cops. By the way, it's
14:58
bootleg coins. See a at the Etsy shop and he just wants to plug
15:03
that in.
15:04
Adam Curry: Got a lot of cool stuff still if you want to get
15:06
some no agenda gear that looks cop ish. Yeah. Looks law
15:10
enforcement T Yeah.
15:12
John C Dvorak: So the law enforcement you know this this
15:14
idea of our bringing in the Highway Patrol and National
15:18
Guard for the Fentanyl crisis is bullcrap.
15:23
Adam Curry: Our new friends said yesterday he was convinced that
15:25
this was still China doing this. They have a long memory and this
15:28
was retaliation for the Opium Wars. I'm not so sure. I think
15:32
it's like a lot of
15:33
John C Dvorak: people feel this way. Yeah, that's not that's not
15:37
an obscure thought. I know.
15:40
Adam Curry: But I'm saying as he's a San Francisco refugee. He
15:46
escaped Dolly.
15:47
John C Dvorak: Ball your buddy. Yeah,
15:49
Adam Curry: that's why I'm talking about my buddy. Oh,
15:50
John C Dvorak: you knew buddy. Yeah.
15:51
Adam Curry: Yeah, I was just like, Oh, okay. Yeah, he's
15:54
lifelong San Francisco. And his his wife who was from the
16:00
Philippines originally, she had left the Philippines when she
16:04
was 21. Thinking America was going to be great. And she
16:09
landed in San Francisco and said, great, great. She feels
16:14
really at home in Texas about that well as well do you have
16:20
more of the
16:21
John C Dvorak: I have some if we're gonna be did just a little
16:23
bit of China. I got a bunch of China clips and I think a couple
16:26
of these should be played, which incorporate some information
16:29
about the Fentanyl crisis. Okay. And it just would be the series
16:32
China forced label which means forced labor labor.
16:36
Adam Curry: What are you using the chat GPT to label your clips
16:39
now? Is that how it works?
16:40
John C Dvorak: China forced label loophole, one
16:44
Unknown: from the US to keep forced labor out of the border.
16:47
witnesses testified Thursday in Congress before the Ways and
16:51
Means Committee on America's trade policy. And one of the
16:54
issues brought up was forced labor in the supply chain. And
16:57
it is Jason Perry has the story
17:00
wiggers held in forced labor in factories in internment camps in
17:03
China garment workers held in forced labor and sweatshops in
17:06
Bangladesh,
17:07
and Michael Caine, co CEO of import genius says he knows
17:11
exactly how to help stop it. He explained how import genius has
17:15
been able to help clean up supply chains.
17:17
This gap is also impacting our ability to stop Chinese forced
17:21
labor. Many of the goods sourced from China that appear on the US
17:25
government's list of goods produced by child labor or
17:27
forced labor are typically shipped by air.
17:30
He added that US Customs and Border Protection only publishes
17:34
shipping data for cargo ship by sea but not for cargo ship by
17:38
air or by land which make up 43% of us import value.
17:44
Adam Curry: Wow. So that's probably how the fentanyl is
17:46
getting into.
17:48
John C Dvorak: Everything's getting in this way. It's it
17:50
seems to be even in some terminology, they use certain
17:53
part to the clip.
17:55
Unknown: And Michael sumo CEO of coalition for prosperous America
17:59
pointed out another issue known as the de minimis loophole. 2
18:03
million packages per day to enter the US without meaningful
18:07
inspection
18:08
Chairman Jason Smith rightly said de minimis is essentially a
18:11
free trade agreement with China, allowing China to exploit de
18:15
minimis is in fact unilateral disarmament of our customs and
18:18
trade laws.
18:19
And he talked about the overall impact it has with America's
18:23
relationship with China.
18:25
We're building their military and we're building their ability
18:28
to invade Taiwan. And it's because we can't figure out that
18:32
we need to build and make stuff here and employ our people and
18:37
get our profits
18:38
during the hearing representative Earl Blumenauer,
18:41
advise the witnesses that there is currently a proposal that
18:44
would take away the transparency of maritime shipping data, and
18:48
if passed, that would practically end all transparency
18:52
for shipping data to the public,
18:54
Adam Curry: do minimis adjective, lacking significance
18:58
or importance. So minor as to merit disregard,
19:03
John C Dvorak: which is what they've dealt with, which is
19:05
what they've said the air shipping is a Wow, is that 43%
19:10
of the exports out of China coming over? Just a fly on it
19:14
flying this stuff over? And it's not being inspected on arrival?
19:18
Adam Curry: No wonder everything's so expensive. It's
19:21
got to be a lot more expensive to send it through air, don't
19:24
you think?
19:26
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, obviously, yeah.
19:28
Adam Curry: Ah, well, that doesn't mean
19:31
John C Dvorak: that cargoes containers going by so they
19:33
don't know how much they've got to be shipping. So I know how
19:36
many planes must be coming over to if it's 43%. Because the
19:41
number of cargo containers is in the 1000s.
19:44
Adam Curry: That's crazy. Oh, not really, I guess
19:48
John C Dvorak: they did. I'm reminded of when I used to bring
19:51
a lot of art over from a couple of suppliers.
19:54
Adam Curry: Yes, back in your art smuggling days.
19:57
John C Dvorak: The good the good old days in Vietnam. Um, when I
20:01
was shipped from Vietnam, and both of these aren't coming
20:04
overs as comes in duty free because it's handmade, but
20:09
Vietnam and what you'd have to pay for from DHL or somebody was
20:13
like a typical shipment of just not that many pieces like $100
20:18
Oh, China was like 20 bucks or 15 bucks to get they'd fly it
20:22
over it and land the next day. It was I was always stunned by
20:27
how cheap it was to ship by air from China.
20:32
Adam Curry: Well, that, of course, begs the question. Are
20:35
these de minimis shipments coming in on China Air Air
20:38
China? I mean,
20:39
John C Dvorak: well, these came into Federal Express, so I'm not
20:42
sure. But we have lots of Federal Express was shipping
20:45
stuff. Dirt Cheap from China?
20:47
Adam Curry: Well, we have a lot of FedEx pilots, so the air crew
20:51
will let us know we got boots on the ground everywhere in FedEx
20:54
let us know. And I know a lot of them fly Chinese or Asian roots,
20:58
for sure. does in fact, those are the most these guys. Your
21:03
Year Three at FedEx, Captain, you're making half a million
21:06
dollars a year, which really beats podcasting, I have to say.
21:11
And they're looking I mean, I got I got five good years left
21:14
in me. I can still go pilot a 747.
21:18
John C Dvorak: Yeah, go do it. No,
21:21
Adam Curry: of course not. Of course not. I can't leave you.
21:24
I'm your only friend. We do. We already established that. It'd
21:27
be very bad.
21:29
John C Dvorak: Wait, those two? Do you have
21:30
Adam Curry: more? Kamala Harris's commencement or you
21:33
want us? Yeah,
21:33
John C Dvorak: let's see. Here's here she is. You played the
21:38
classic cliche, but let's play this. This is her 42nd clip of
21:43
her current way of pronouncing things she's taken on the
21:48
Hillary Clinton approach to pronunciation, where every
21:53
single word is carefully pronounced ciated.
22:00
Unknown: To support one at
22:04
John C Dvorak: a time
22:05
Unknown: to support and defend our most sacred ideals, freedom,
22:15
democracy, and rule of law. All across the world. The soldiers
22:22
of the United States Army defend these ideals. And as Vice
22:28
President, I have seen it firsthand in Poland, on NATO's
22:33
eastern flank. I met with soldiers of the Army's fifth
22:37
core who deter threats to the NATO alliance and stand for
22:43
freedom across Europe.
22:48
Adam Curry: She in charge of this all of a sudden this is now
22:50
her beat
22:51
John C Dvorak: ologists trying to deny think that she's going
22:54
to end up like Hillary she says she already speaks like her. And
22:57
she's going to claim she's under fire under some circumstances.
23:01
Adam Curry: You can almost predict this. We came in we were
23:03
under fire in the war zone.
23:06
John C Dvorak: So I actually sweetened her. Oh, here
23:09
Adam Curry: we go. Okay.
23:12
John C Dvorak: Yes, Harris at West boy sweetened
23:16
Unknown: is an honor to be with all of you this morning. And to
23:22
the cadets of the class of 2020. Congratulations. You made it.
23:30
You made it. You made Easton Buckner remote learning your
23:35
family
23:36
celebrate together at holiday
23:39
weekend and you beat maybe yes twice.
23:51
To make it to make it to today, I am also aware that some of you
23:57
had to sneak out after tax to spin Sedgwick spurs. I will not
24:03
ask for a show of hands but for those who did it clearly works
24:13
Adam Curry: you're gonna get arrested for for spurring on
24:16
assassination attempt to say you
24:17
Unknown: come to the end of what I will prove to be 47 of the
24:25
most challenging and rewarding months of your life. There are
24:32
so many people indeed make it to the families and loved ones
24:38
here. Thank you for the incredible care and support you
24:44
have given. I know men immense sense of pride. Looking at our
24:52
cadets and the pride I share that our country shares you On
25:00
behalf of our Commander in Chief President Joe Biden and our
25:05
entire cadets, it is my honor to congratulate you on taking your
25:12
place in the long braid line.
25:16
Adam Curry: Amazing completely unedited as this really a
25:19
fantastic you have some really good ricochets in there. I like
25:24
that you did some work.
25:25
John C Dvorak: Okay, this was worse. We're all from the new
25:28
collection that just been recently released to archive.org
25:32
Oh, this is a Hollywood sound effects. Oh, these shooting a
25:36
variety of ricochet shots that were used in movies in the 50s
25:40
and 60s like that Western ricochet
25:42
Adam Curry: you that bounces off the rock. Well, that would have
25:47
been appropriate with the with this report, because, you know,
25:50
there wasn't just the vice president commencement speech.
25:53
Unknown: Graduates of Johns Hopkins University got a big
25:56
surprise today when they learned Ukraine's leader President
25:59
Solinsky was delivering their command. Oh, ski Nora Alinsky
26:05
was delivering their commencement address. Solinsky
26:08
spoke to the crowd in Baltimore through a live video feed from
26:11
Ukraine. He received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters,
26:15
degree. All in English, he focused on the importance of not
26:18
wasting time, and the ideals of freedom and democracy.
26:24
Adam Curry: Oh man, how insulting is it to those cadets.
26:27
John C Dvorak: And don't forget cadets graduates. Yeah, well,
26:31
they might as well be cadets at Johns Hopkins. But to make it
26:35
worse, they were she was introduced by Annie Apple bomb.
26:38
Adam Curry: Yes, you have that on the newsletter. Which is that
26:41
is even worse. Where does she get off being? Being in the game
26:46
here? Well, I guess she's in the game.
26:49
John C Dvorak: That's because it's Johns Hopkins become spook
26:52
Central. Yeah.
26:55
Adam Curry: Wow. That's that's really quite, quite something is
26:59
I've never been asked to do a commencement speech. I'm sure
27:01
you haven't either.
27:04
John C Dvorak: And I get an invite podcasters that's for
27:06
sure.
27:08
Adam Curry: I'm not just a podcast. I'm an ex VJ. Hello. I
27:11
have some credits to my name.
27:13
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, good for you. They're not gonna
27:16
invite. Yeah. Here's an interesting situation. I have a
27:22
lot of China clips today. But if you didn't hear this anywhere
27:26
except the stock market, people seem to have heard it because
27:28
the stock went up China at COVID Maderna.
27:31
Adam Curry: Oh goodness.
27:32
Unknown: Maderna is setting up shop in China, the vaccine
27:35
makers saying on Friday. It's looking for opportunities and
27:39
the world's second largest economy that says Pfizer and bio
27:42
Entech cut their supplies in Europe. Stocks rallying behind
27:47
the news with Maderna shares rising 2% and US pre market
27:51
trading. The biotech firm registered as a legal entity in
27:55
China this week. The company had no presence in mainland China.
27:59
Before this, it opened an office in Hong Kong last year as part
28:03
of an Asia expansion. Maduro not has said that it was keen to
28:07
sell its mRNA vaccine to China. But so far Beijing has insisted
28:11
on using only Chinese made COVID-19 vaccines. This comes
28:15
amid warnings of a second wave expected to peak this June, a
28:20
top epidemiologists predicting over 60 million will catch the
28:24
infection per week when the wave hits. Yeah, I heard them
28:27
Adam Curry: talking on CNBC about this earlier in the week.
28:31
Right there, we're talking about the story. And that was indeed
28:34
though, they're expecting a new wave of COVID. And almost a
28:39
John C Dvorak: million a week.
28:41
Adam Curry: By the way, I really appreciate everybody sending us
28:46
the Clip of the Day. It's only 21 minutes Clip of the Day. Oh,
28:50
the long, yes. Okay, so Dr. David Martin, I just want
28:54
everyone to understand that we paid attention to Dr. David
29:00
Martin in 2021. And it wasn't 21 minutes long. And he was he had
29:07
he was out there all the time with this patent story. All of
29:10
this this is not new. In fact, here's here's just an old Yes.
29:14
Here's a clip from from 2021 Tony Fauci
29:17
Unknown: has spent listen to this number $191 billion, not
29:24
3.7 million, not 30,000,190 $1 billion of audited funds for the
29:32
bio weaponization of viruses against humanity. And it's your
29:37
money that has been spent $191 billion. And do you think you
29:43
can get any agency or oversight body or any politician to even
29:48
take that investigation on despite the fact that we have
29:51
every grant recipient, every person their address, their
29:56
phone number, their laboratory, we literally have the entirety
29:59
of where that money went, and not a single investigation
30:02
agency in this country is willing to look. This is a
30:07
bioweapons program designed to kill us
30:10
Adam Curry: guy, you know, we're pretty much on the tip with him,
30:13
you know. So now of course, this comes from a European Union
30:16
session, which was a whole day filled with people speaking
30:19
about this, he gets no mainstream play, which makes, of
30:22
course not make makes it rather difficult.
30:24
John C Dvorak: And what we didn't get what we didn't get
30:26
from that during that era is the fact that a lot of these
30:29
weapons, bio weapons development houses were in Ukraine. Yes. We
30:34
didn't get any of that news. No, no, that came out only recently.
30:38
Now, I do want to stay with Big Pharma because, and I will say
30:42
when it comes to COVID, and then bring that back again, and we'll
30:46
get to that I'm
30:47
Adam Curry: sure it's going to be claimed
30:48
John C Dvorak: before you before you do that. You have anything
30:52
to say about this, but during the opening in China, dirt is a
30:55
spook shop. CIA funded? Yeah. What is China allowing them to
31:03
set up shop there for? I don't know. We've I find it very
31:09
peculiar.
31:10
Adam Curry: Well, how about this, to pretend that we have
31:13
16 60 million people a day or a week getting COVID? Just to
31:17
scare us all back into submission? How about that? I'm
31:21
not thinking that the spook shop isn't working separately from
31:24
the China spooks. This is a worldwide takeover. This is
31:28
World Health Organization. It's all the it's so obvious. They
31:33
will try to force us into submission. Again, we know that
31:37
that was just a good trial run. They learned a lot. John
31:40
Hopkins. Yeah. Look at what they get. They get the spook show and
31:44
the whole thing. It's rigged, getting ready for it. I mean,
31:47
it'll take, I don't think it'd be this year. But they're
31:51
gearing up for something, I would expect them all to be
31:54
under the climate change banner and who says it is going to be
31:57
for COVID mRNA is going to be for all kinds of stuff.
32:02
Including competition against the ozempic. Now they're going
32:09
into high gear now in promoting this thing across all mainstream
32:15
news networks. And as we already discussed, and as Becky Warli
32:20
our friend kicked it off there on ABC. Now NBC has got the
32:25
native ad, there's
32:27
Unknown: been an explosive amount of buzz around the drugs.
32:30
And we'll go V
32:31
Adam Curry: buzz I'm super excited with the 50 pound
32:35
excited
32:36
Unknown: stories of dramatic weight loss plastered all over
32:39
social media
32:40
last started baby. The hype is real medications both
32:43
containing the compound is magnetized. Make people feel
32:47
fuller faster. But something else interesting seems to be
32:50
happening. Countless testimonials online describing
32:54
side effects, positive ones that aren't related to food
32:57
Adam Curry: at all. I love that. You see so many side effects of
33:01
I'm crapping the bed this is this is a real thing. People
33:04
pooping in the bed after taking ozempic I'm vomiting all day
33:08
long. I see those but now that's not what NBC Today Show picks up
33:13
on.
33:13
Unknown: No longer have any desire to drink alcohol, someone
33:16
writes. Another says I used to vape like a demon quit cold
33:20
turkey. This person comments I used to buy scratch off and
33:24
lotto tickets. I don't even think about it anymore.
33:28
Adam Curry: My favorite, it cures getting
33:30
John C Dvorak: wicked a side effect is not buying lotto
33:33
tickets.
33:34
Adam Curry: There is a real side effect which I think this is
33:38
from Healthline I think this is a real thing. Now remember, what
33:42
the manufacturers themselves claim is that these will go V
33:47
and ozempic and these are from alga FIDE, I forget what the
33:50
name is. Whatever this is probably generic by now to
33:54
whatever this drug is. Or this, this active ingredient. It
34:00
reduces your lean body mass, which we believe to be muscle.
34:07
In fact, that is the definition of lean body mass. Now your
34:11
brain also as muscles, so maybe that's why people like I don't
34:15
want to buy a scratch off ticket anymore. My brain is melting
34:17
John C Dvorak: and too stupid to know how to scratch it off. How
34:21
do you use this thing?
34:24
Adam Curry: What is one of the biggest muscles in the human
34:26
body? In fact, it is called the Big Muscle. The heart. Thanks
34:33
the gluteus maximus. The butt Yes. Enter the side effect you
34:39
may experience while taking weight loss drugs also known as
34:43
ozempic. But yes, characterized by sagging skin on the butt is
34:50
gaining traction as a reported side effect of the weight loss
34:53
drugs magnetized, better known by the popular name brand names
34:57
ozempic and Wigo V. Experts say rapid X Dream weight loss can
35:01
contribute to looser skin, particularly in curvier areas of
35:04
the body. Bull crap. I'm telling you, it's reducing your butt,
35:09
which for some people may be desirable but you're gonna have
35:12
but you're gonna have saggy butt.
35:15
John C Dvorak: Butt slab.
35:16
Adam Curry: Yeah ozempic But how about that under reported
35:23
Unknown: doctor, I mean, we're talking about these two drugs.
35:26
There's another drug called Manjaro yeah as well it's sort
35:28
of in the same class Yes, yes. Yes,
35:31
Adam Curry: yes. Yes. Why
35:34
John C Dvorak: you know it's shameful now sold out the media
35:38
is to the drug companies that they won't report on anything
35:41
that's negative like this shameful it why don't they just
35:47
let the drug companies bring their own people on and Yak
35:50
Abbas? Oh, they do. What do you
35:52
Adam Curry: think this Dr. Roshini Raj is one of their own
35:55
people? Yes. Dr. Rush I
35:57
Unknown: mean, we're talking about these two drugs. There's
35:59
another drug called the mini shower. Oh, yeah. as well. It's
36:01
sort of in the same class. Yes. Originally pre diabetics were
36:05
prescribed this drug then we discovered okay, they can be
36:07
used for weight loss. Okay.
36:09
John C Dvorak: Okay. They can be used for weight loss.
36:12
Adam Curry: She's so Judy to yah. Yah, yah, yah. Yah, yah,
36:15
yah, yah, so, right. COVID.
36:16
Unknown: Okay, they can be used for weight loss. Now we're
36:19
discovering perhaps it could be used to treat addiction as well.
36:22
How did we make this leap?
36:24
Well, it's one of those things. And this happens a lot in
36:26
medicine where people are taking one drug for a specific, you
36:29
know, condition that it is approved for. And then we
36:32
notice, lo and behold, they're having these other interesting
36:34
effects that are beneficial. And then you start telling
36:37
John C Dvorak: me like ivermectin, that's horse, bring
36:41
that up?
36:42
Unknown: I don't think so. Lo and behold, they're having these
36:44
other interesting effects that are beneficial, and then you
36:47
start to do research there. But that's where we are. We're in
36:49
the research stage, we've noticed this interesting
36:51
phenomenon. We have some animal studies, but it's time to do the
36:54
human studies which are ongoing. There are already some studies
36:57
on alcohol and cocaine addiction with these semaglutide type
37:00
medications. And we're going to have need to see the clinical
37:03
results there. You know, it's something that's really
37:04
interesting, and one day may offer some hope for many
37:08
different types of addiction. But right now, it's still early
37:10
Adam Curry: days. That is so is it to bring in cocaine and
37:19
particularly alcohol addictions, oh, well, we may have the shot
37:22
for you. That's really cruel. It really is. And then it's still
37:28
in animal trials yet it's it's just okay good to go. Doesn't
37:33
matter if you've just you can you can prescribe it off label
37:36
no problem. And of course, we're not going to see any pushback.
37:40
This is this is the bread and butter of these, these networks,
37:43
their bread and butter. Yet somehow they can't seem to help
37:48
poor Celine Dion music superstar
37:51
Unknown: Celine Dion canceled all of her concerts for the next
37:54
11 months as she continues treatment for a rare
37:57
neurological disorder. The 55 year old singer says she's
38:01
trying to build back her strength as she struggles with
38:04
what's called stiff person syndrome. Dion says it's causing
38:07
painful muscle spasms that affect her ability to walk and
38:11
even sing.
38:13
Adam Curry: I'm just gonna call it a bet she was vaccin boosted
38:16
to the max.
38:18
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm sure she was but it could be. What's
38:21
it auto
38:21
Adam Curry: immune?
38:22
John C Dvorak: It could be genes. Yeah, sounds like auto
38:24
immune. But it could be anything but Well, that could be one of
38:29
these side effects. Um, this off label bullcrap. But yeah, she
38:34
probably was vaccine at the max.
38:35
Adam Curry: Yeah, I mean, she had her she has a residency in
38:37
Vegas. She had to no she has she had to Yeah, I'm pretty sure and
38:41
also you know all the she'll bade Yeah, all the party drugs
38:45
everyone's enjoying. We got to get that all on onto the into
38:49
the pharma system as well. Now when doctors area and let's talk
38:52
ketamine and the treatment of major depression Yeah,
38:55
Unknown: so this is a new study that's come out that's looking
38:58
at the use of intravenous ketamine or IV ketamine to treat
39:01
severe depression. So approximately 17 million people
39:04
in America every year live with depression, approximately 30 30%
39:08
of that 17 million have severe depression which doesn't recover
39:12
with regular treatments. And for that group, the options are
39:14
Adam Curry: what uh, now hold on a second, this does not
39:17
Unknown: recur. Again, depression, which doesn't
39:20
recover with regular
39:21
Adam Curry: treatments does not recover with regular treatments.
39:23
What is a regular treatment? You mean Zoloft?
39:27
John C Dvorak: Prozac, I don't know that just me load you up
39:30
with stuff.
39:31
Unknown: And for that group, the options are really limited. So
39:33
this new study found that IV ketamine could possibly be the
39:37
option for intervention and the treatment of severe depression.
39:40
And we are seeing I've been seeing on social media and some
39:43
documentaries about that use. You guys already use this in a
39:47
hospital setting?
39:47
Absolutely. So ketamine is something that we call it
39:50
disassociated anesthetic. So it's a way that in the hospital
39:53
we use it to sedate patients it can be used for pain at higher
39:55
doses, and at lower doses. It's found to be beneficial not just
39:59
for pain, but also Depression at baseline. And now we're using IV
40:02
ketamine and hopefully,
40:03
Adam Curry: depression at baseline. These are terms that
40:06
are very important I feel but we're not being explained what
40:09
it means
40:10
Unknown: pain, but also depression at baseline. And now
40:12
we're using IV ketamine and hopefully it will provide
40:15
benefit to those in need, you know, is this something that you
40:17
can ask your doctor for, you know, that's the problem access
40:20
problems requires not only a physician, but also monitoring
40:24
and also a plan so that you can have follow up and so
40:26
unfortunately, it's not accessible to the everyday
40:29
patient, but those that have severe symptoms in certain
40:31
psychiatry centers, they might have that option available. So
40:34
you have to ask a doctor, thank you.
40:35
Adam Curry: All right, thanks. We'll go I feel I should ask you
40:39
like make sure to ask ask please go ask. boots on the ground, my
40:45
experience with Zoloft? I'll share my experience about 11
40:49
years ago, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. What does
40:52
that doesn't sound good?
40:54
John C Dvorak: No, it's spasms in the colon. Oh, goodness.
40:58
Adam Curry: I was having a hard time coming to terms with this
41:00
and tried talking with the GP about it about what I was
41:02
feeling. He prescribed Zoloft. I use it for about two months. My
41:06
family roommates, even strangers would comment on how angry I
41:09
was. While I was on it.
41:12
John C Dvorak: Did a podcast, I
41:14
Adam Curry: start podcasting. I concluded that always being
41:17
angry wasn't better than being sad. I never used any other
41:20
drugs for depression. And my outlook on life has improved
41:23
over time talking with people who've had similar experiences
41:25
and can empathize was much more helpful in this regard. I mean
41:28
Zoloft of so many Zoloft is like handed out like candy, just like
41:33
candy,
41:34
John C Dvorak: as well as so many podcasts.
41:37
Adam Curry: And then I had a interesting note from producer
41:40
Rob about testosterone, I'll just move into some of the
41:44
headlines here in a moment about the trans Maoist movement. And
41:49
he says hold on a second. Testosterone is getting a bad
41:52
rap. It's being framed. I was on testosterone for about seven
41:56
years being from Holland makes this complex because no doctor
42:00
knows jack shit about hormones. He said as a true Dutchman,
42:06
having used steroids when I was in my late teens, I damaged my
42:09
hormone production by the age of 35. This was becoming noticeable
42:12
feeling depressed, weak, hard time sleeping, etc. A lot of
42:15
psychological issues, only a few physical ones. So I started on
42:19
testosterone replacement therapy TRT as what women also use. And
42:25
of course, what happens is it's a base hormone that turns into
42:29
estrogen in the body, and he says estrogen he thinks is the
42:34
problem in high levels that leads to mood swings. And your
42:38
PMS would be high estrogen related with the body trying to
42:42
get back to homeostasis after testosterone injections and
42:45
trans people. This leads to huge levels of estrogen. This is why
42:51
aromatase inhibitors need to be taken his bottom line is he says
42:54
this is trial and error for each individual person. You can't
42:58
just hand out testosterone willy nilly, it has to be closely
43:02
monitored. And that's the part that rang true to me. It's like
43:06
yeah, that makes sense. They're probably not monitoring these
43:10
children, young people or anyone of any age really on what
43:14
they're what they're giving them. So you know, it's not
43:20
John C Dvorak: the idea of monitors that what you want to
43:22
do you just want to get get this stuff out of there charged
43:24
insurance companies make them pay, which they are required to
43:29
do and so they're paying through the nose which means all our
43:31
rates go up for these characters. And they get your $7
43:36
million out of the person whether they've so what did
43:38
happens to who cares?
43:41
Adam Curry: boots on the ground from a frontline worker at
43:46
Columbus Ohio brewery who has been keeping me up to speed on
43:50
their schedules. And for that so the schedule is the lines you
43:56
know who because this is assembly line and they have
43:58
people working on the lines creating the brewing the beer
44:01
and getting the brew the beer brewed getting it into bottles,
44:04
cans, etcetera and out and getting it out and this group
44:08
who was I don't think we've discussed them who's emailed me
44:10
before. He says while you know we are patriots here we we are
44:16
disgusted by what the pandering that Bud Light has done and you
44:20
know, that just the whole Bud Light situation and they sent me
44:23
an update afternoon Adam It's working. Attach the manpower
44:27
schedule for the Memorial Day weekend. No lines are running.
44:31
This is unheard of have spoken with employees here at the
44:34
brewery that are 30 plus years at this facility. They have
44:37
never ever seen this happen before. Tell everyone to keep
44:40
pressing. They are making a difference all the best on this
44:44
holiday weekend there. I love that I mean they are so they're
44:48
so patriotic that they they'd rather report on how it's
44:53
working then you know then fuss about the take a cut and pay
44:57
it's pretty much what's happening. Are brand marketers
45:01
back to talk about what is happening with with influence
45:09
campaigns? And is the blame around influencer selection
45:14
regarding North Face Bud Light etc. A few points is just some
45:18
insight of how the industry works the influencer industry
45:22
it's rare that brands actually select their own influencers,
45:25
you have to be huge to work with brands directly as an
45:28
influencer. This is typically done via an agency and is
45:30
normally managed pretty low on the seniority ladder, although
45:33
that, of course now my change with all the risk most marketing
45:36
execs don't actually understand social media or influencer
45:39
marketing. They Greenlight influencer programs as cute
45:42
little ideas, so they can say they're marketing to Gen Z. I
45:46
can see that totally being the case. Yeah, you can see it, I
45:49
can see it. Case in point just yesterday, I was informed of an
45:52
entire campaign for a major product launch that was planned
45:55
by one of our sub brands with literally zero executive
45:58
knowledge of the details of the plan. Even a manager in the
46:01
digital slash social department for that sub brand wasn't aware
46:05
of all the details. A new hire with influencer experience got
46:08
tasked with making an online buzzworthy lounge promotion and
46:12
choose a highly controversial LGBTQ infant chose a highly
46:17
controversial LGBTQ influencer plan the launch date on June one
46:21
to coincide with pride month. And all anyone really knew was
46:24
that there was an influencer campaign planned execs and PR
46:27
and marketing just got looped in. And the entire plan was
46:31
final and everyone was scrambling for a crisis plan.
46:35
This is good news. Long story short, I can totally see an
46:38
executive North Face or Bud Light not even knowing what
46:41
influences were in a campaign. Some agency or low level person
46:44
from the group of influencers gave them talking points that a
46:47
product for the social posts. And he also says if you want to
46:51
make money with awards, my team has won several webby or Shorty
46:55
Awards over the years, we have to pay hundreds of dollars per
46:59
submission. Oh, there you go. That's how it works. You got to
47:02
charge people for submitting like that. So let's get an
47:07
update on how things are going with with these influencer
47:10
campaigns. But more importantly, with the targeting of kids,
47:13
we've been following target, we see that Walmart is now under
47:17
fire for some of their LGBTQ plus merchandise. And target.
47:23
Well, this is what happened,
47:24
Unknown: a bomb threat and multiple Utah targets for
47:27
evacuation at the store in Washington. Thanks for joining
47:30
us for today's a 10.
47:31
Adam Curry: Now, this is an interesting story. Now, I'll
47:36
give you the punch line so that then we can listen to this
47:38
report. The punch line is the Utah police let me see where is
47:43
it the have the they released the police report. And this bomb
47:48
threat was in fact placed because of as we predicted
47:56
target not standing up for LGBTQ plus and unfolding to the
48:04
pressure. So it was not from some right as not jazz. I
48:08
John C Dvorak: think we both predicted
48:10
Adam Curry: We predicted that but that's not how the reporting
48:12
goes.
48:12
Unknown: Heidi has marked Abell
48:14
please confirm along with Layton that threats were also made in
48:17
Target stores in Salt Lake City and Taylorsville in Provo. They
48:21
say there is no credible threat though.
48:23
Dominique Isaacson was headed home from Target and he was
48:26
shocked to learn earlier in the morning police were
48:29
investigating a bomb threat at this retail chain. That's awful.
48:32
It's terrible. And email was sent to various newsrooms. It
48:35
was three sons. I love that awful, terrible bomb threat at
48:39
this retail chain. It's awful. It's terrible. And email was
48:42
sent to various newsrooms. It was three sentences long
48:45
mentioning bombs and targets LGBTQ merchandise.
48:49
I live around here. So it's not it's not like something you want
48:52
to hear that your neighborhood is potentially being bombed or
48:55
at least having people call in bomb threats. Apparently they've
48:58
had a bomb threats
49:00
in late and police even searched and evacuated the store because
49:03
of this and they've told all the employees to go things return to
49:07
normal Salt Lake City police also worked with area targets
49:11
and found no threat. I wanted to ask them about safety after this
49:15
especially with Utah pride next week. They didn't go on camera
49:19
but said they are monitoring the neighborhoods nearby to be
49:22
cautious and Utah is not alone. Multiple reports show very
49:26
similar stories happening in different states. This comes as
49:30
target is pulling or moving some items from its stores after
49:34
backlash over its pride month collection.
49:36
I have a trans girlfriend so it's like obviously I'm for you
49:41
know pro inclusion
49:43
Isaacson was disappointed to hear all this
49:46
obviously unsafe. It feels very, like divisive trying to get
49:51
people against each other,
49:52
especially with pride month around the corner.
49:55
Adam Curry: So here's Newsweek, they write a quote Get into a
50:00
release from the Jackson Township Police Department
50:02
police dispatch received calls around 1240 regarding a bomb
50:06
threat and here's the release and I will read it. At
50:11
approximately 1240 hours today our dispatch center was notified
50:14
by the media channel 19 of five news they received a tip
50:17
regarding a bomb threat for target locations including the
50:19
Jackson Township location that tip stated target turned their
50:22
back on the LGBT community and they placed bombs in all four
50:25
stores. Well, that's not exactly the way that report Read Now was
50:30
it at all, but this is now what is happening and we have to be
50:35
aware that this report from Deutsche Ravel of all places is
50:39
not a good development,
50:41
Unknown: and there are fears that a polarizing election will
50:43
further inflame the culture war in the US this week the
50:47
Department of Homeland Security warned of a rise in right wing
50:50
terrorism, the potential targets including the LGBTQ community,
50:54
as well as racial and ethnic minorities. Now while the debate
50:58
over gun controls remains deadlocked in Washington, one
51:02
organization says the best protection for vulnerable groups
51:06
is to give them guns as well. Rob Roy's
51:09
Gnosis guns inside and out.
51:11
This is a revolver, that nine millimeter pretty standard 45
51:16
ACP for the load up.
51:19
He's a certified handgun instructor, but not what you
51:22
might call a typical one. He isn't a police officer. He's not
51:25
in the military. And he doesn't vote Republican. He's a member
51:28
of the Socialist Rifle Association. And he knows his
51:31
politics may be a bit out of place here at this rural
51:34
shooting range in Maryland. When he talks about the training he
51:37
offers, he lowers his voice.
51:40
And so for what we're doing the target group is to provide a
51:44
safe space for trans queer people of color and other
51:48
marginalized groups to get this training.
51:52
No teaching today just target practice with fellow SRA member
51:56
eric to keep informed in the parking lot of prejudice is
52:00
confirmed a bumper sticker with an anti trans slur.
52:06
Robert, I want to make sure
52:08
that like there's pushback against this kind of that like
52:13
trans people have a right to live socialist Rifle Association
52:18
was formed in 2017. And now claims several 1000 members have
52:23
Adam Curry: this needs to be de escalated. This is not this is
52:26
not good. A bunch of people shooting at each other
52:29
eventually. It's really um, this concerns me some washi is on the
52:34
freeway around here and it's coming from the government and
52:37
this this whole you might have seen the memo, the oh my
52:41
goodness with pride month that with the election, you're going
52:45
to see nothing but homegrown terrorist, it's going to be all
52:48
these right wing and if someone has a Trump sticker, they're
52:50
probably a Nazi. It's all Nazi it's all Nazi. We're not even
52:55
knowing what a Nazi is. And then we have I had to chop this down.
53:01
So we had Brent bozell run something called the Media
53:04
Research Center, which is it's kind of a nut job, very right
53:07
wing, very alarmist type of outfit. And so of course the
53:12
perfect home for him is the money honey Maria Bartiromo on
53:15
Fox Business and her hair is out of control. I don't know what
53:19
she's doing with it. But it's it's not any single motor come
53:23
of symmetry. I mean, someone I mean, cut the hair down a bit
53:28
Maria is just out of control. But don't worry, we got breaking
53:31
news.
53:31
Unknown: A bombshell new report reveals administration, taxpayer
53:35
money to rage a covert war on conservatives and Christian
53:39
groups. The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog
53:42
group, obtaining documents showing DHS from Homeland
53:45
Security is using a program meant to fight terrorists, which
53:49
includes groups like the Heritage Foundation, Maga, Fox
53:53
News, even the Republican National Committee in the same
53:55
category as Nazis.
53:58
Adam Curry: So they bring Brett Moselle on he has this pyramid.
54:01
And this is from the papers, you know, because they gave out a
54:03
whole bunch of money to people to study this and get ready and
54:06
be prepared and root out the Nazis. And so he'll refer to
54:11
this pyramid in this chopped up version of his five minute
54:15
report. There's the program called the Targeted violence and
54:18
terrorism prevention grant program. This is supposed to
54:22
find domestic terrorists in America. It was started by Obama
54:26
that was concerned by Republicans that it would be
54:28
weaponized against Republicans and conservatives. Trump put the
54:33
kibosh on it. It's come back now with Joe Biden. You have that
54:37
pyramid. Where's that pyramid coming from?
54:39
Unknown: They were at recipients of money so far, they've
54:42
received $40 million in grants. Look at that pyramid. In the
54:46
first layer. You've got heritage. You got the bright
54:51
boy, you got Fox News. You've got Christian Broadcasting.
54:54
You've got the Republican National Committee already
54:57
you've got more than half of America is on the list. As the
55:00
second level talks it up more dangerous groups Turning Point
55:04
USA Tea Party Patriots, Prager, you Breitbart, that American
55:08
Conservative unit, then the third level is pro Nazi
55:12
organizations and the top one is Milton Nazi organizations. So
55:17
there you go the pyramid showing the progression of domestic
55:21
terrorism, associating Ronda sadness with the Holocaust.
55:24
unbeli one speaker was associating Donald Trump with
55:27
Pol Pot, the
55:30
Adam Curry: guy to denote where she got to listen, you missed
55:34
it. Listen with the
55:34
Unknown: Holocaust. unbeli. One speaker was associating Donald
55:38
Trump with Pol Pot,
55:39
Adam Curry: the the genocide guide, the genocide guide. Pol
55:44
Pot also known as the genocide guns,
55:46
Unknown: speaker was associating Donald Trump with Pol Pot, the
55:51
genocide guide to denying people to shut down their websites to
55:55
close their meetings and to physically prevent them from
55:59
assembling in public.
56:02
Adam Curry: Alright, so the situation the way I see it, and
56:06
there's plenty of time to fix this we can all we all need to
56:09
calm down a little bit, is we have people claiming everyone to
56:15
be anyone who's Republican, I think is basically the idea
56:17
because this is also political is a Nazi. And we need to root
56:21
them out, which is kind of by definition, what the National
56:24
Socialist Party did. They were Nazis. So this is projection of
56:29
the highest order now on the other side, it's the war on the
56:33
woke war on the what we got a very thoughtful letter has
56:35
thoughtful exchange with Linda one of our producers. And the
56:39
subject of her email was you and John are wrong about the center
56:42
slash woke. And I'll read this you and John helped me through
56:47
COVID By giving the truth on the vaccines not stopping people
56:50
from catching COVID etc. In so many ways, you are great, but
56:53
always the social issues is like bird, a scratch record, which
56:58
pulls me out of the song legalized legalizing pot.
57:04
Supporting abortion. I don't think we support abortion. Okay.
57:08
I don't think we've ever seen support abortion where she
57:10
getting this bullcrap. And now saying that DeSantis DeSantis is
57:14
wrong to focus on woke. The national sales numbers for Bud
57:19
Light show that this is a perfect time to run against woke
57:23
for too long, Republicans have ignored social issues and handed
57:26
America over to the loonies on the left. From coast to coast.
57:30
We are focusing on social issues again and winning. Read the room
57:34
guys, you made other points, points about DeSantis that were
57:38
good, such as DeSantis being backed by hedge fund traders and
57:41
the establishment. Okay, that's objectively true and worth
57:44
considering. But his fight against the woke ism is very
57:47
cool and very timely. I want the next President to run against
57:51
woke more than I want the next President to run against the
57:53
Democrat. Thanks. And we went back and forth. And she said,
57:56
and now I started to kind of understand where she's coming
57:58
from. And I just wanted to stop and say, because our point, I
58:02
think on the last show was you also have to be for something
58:06
and if you look at DeSantis and Florida, he has a lot of things
58:09
economy, etc. You know, I think you could you could get
58:13
everybody on board with the border situation, a lot of
58:16
things but she's adamant about the woke and she measures the
58:20
success by what's happening with Bud Light where Anheuser Busch
58:24
target North a shoe and Walgreens and I just want to
58:28
remind everybody and so she kind of skips over the alright you
58:32
know, so So DeSantis is run by Wall Street, okay, the worst
58:35
considering the reason why these companies are woke is because of
58:42
ESG environmental social goals, dei diversity, equity inclusion,
58:50
and of course, the ultimate which everyone is talking about
58:52
the CEI scores. This is invented by Wall Street BlackRock, Larry
58:57
Fink. This is invented by the very same people who are backing
59:01
DeSantis which I'll take to your comment, John, that that they're
59:06
in on this, they they are they're the Wall Street wins.
59:10
Whether they whether these companies go up or down in
59:13
value, they just it's just want to know in advance. So you're
59:17
you're being played with the woke winning. You really are
59:23
now, yes, it's great and Hahaha And I severely doubt actually
59:27
that a boycott on target will hurt them severely, but we'll
59:33
see. You know, it could the stock price is going down, that
59:37
hurts investors
59:38
John C Dvorak: and it creates what you call a buying
59:40
opportunity. It could be doing this on purpose.
59:42
Adam Curry: Correct. So the very same people who are funding
59:47
DeSantis and this is public knowledge this is this is not
59:49
some big secret. You know, the Wall Street guys are coming out
59:52
and saying it. They are the very ones who created this situation
59:58
with quote unquote, woke So we have to be very careful about
1:00:03
not, you know, we are literally in my mind being played by the
1:00:08
money guys, and it's always the money guys, I still to this day
1:00:12
believe that the whole reason for the lock downs was because
1:00:14
of the financial situation with our Treasury in the dollar and,
1:00:18
and we needed to get money out of the system back into the
1:00:21
system, whatever they needed to do, we never fix 2008. So the
1:00:26
real problem, the real issue is mainly education, Big Pharma.
1:00:32
This is these are the evil people. And then the education
1:00:36
part, you're not going to have President DeSantis is not going
1:00:40
to remove despicable literature inappropriate for children from
1:00:44
your from your local middle school, you have to do that
1:00:47
yourself. You really have to be and you have to check it even
1:00:51
if, if even if there's laws, you still have to be on top of that.
1:00:55
And as a community, you need to determine for your own
1:00:58
community, what's appropriate, no president is going to be able
1:01:01
to do that. President DeSantis cannot just make it all happen
1:01:05
for you. And by the way, look at how he I'll give you a great,
1:01:09
great example of how he is all in with the system. So he
1:01:13
launches his his campaign on what is supposed to be the next
1:01:19
best place for podcasts. Okay, Elon, yeah, I'm not going to put
1:01:24
my podcast on that horrible platform, that doesn't work. And
1:01:29
the next day, he signs into law, or into, I don't know if it's a
1:01:35
law or a rule that shields Space X from liability for all
1:01:40
launches or flood launches in Florida. That was a quid pro
1:01:44
quo. Total quid pro quo. You help me launch Elon, you hype me
1:01:51
up. I'll make this happen for you. Instead, let's focus on
1:01:56
what's really happening with our children. And I have and this is
1:02:00
the only one clip today to discuss this. James Lindsay, who
1:02:04
literally wrote the wrote the book on the new Marxism, power
1:02:08
started with black lives matter. Black lives matter got
1:02:11
transplanted into trans lives matter that literally happened
1:02:15
with the big celebration was Black Lives Matter. And there's
1:02:19
the trans lives matter stage, which was 10 times bigger than
1:02:22
anything else. And this is three minutes, so it's a little longer
1:02:26
to stop if you want. He explains exactly why Marxists, the very
1:02:31
people who are trained the train Marxists who did Black Lives
1:02:35
Matter now moved into trans lives matter, not LGBTQ. That's
1:02:39
bull. It's only about trans. And it's an old, old, old system.
1:02:45
Unknown: This is long history, though of Marxists playing
1:02:48
around with the idea of sexualizing the population
1:02:52
sexual liberation sexualizing women and sexualizing children
1:02:56
in order to stabilize them in order to get the revolution to
1:02:59
get them to be so agitated, and so stuck in their ways of so
1:03:03
stuck in their feeling that they're being held back from who
1:03:06
they could really be and what they could really have in life,
1:03:09
by the morality of the era, so that they'll throw off their old
1:03:12
values will throw off their old culture and adopt a whole new
1:03:14
one that's promising them everything that they want the so
1:03:17
called Garden of Eden, that we could get back into. And the
1:03:20
point is to destabilize kids. That's what this actual queer
1:03:25
Marxist grooming part is for. It is a war on stability. If we go
1:03:29
back to the 1960s, we see what the critical Marxist were
1:03:32
writing about what they realized was that there were these
1:03:34
various forces in particular advanced capitalism, that were
1:03:37
causing people to become stable, the working class had become
1:03:40
stable. They complain about the working class becoming stable
1:03:42
and saying, We need a new working class capitalism doesn't
1:03:45
misery the worker gives them a good life and makes them stable.
1:03:47
These guys realized that when you have stability, you have
1:03:50
people who want to keep the stable life that they have, so
1:03:52
they become conservative. In other words, they specifically
1:03:55
become counter revolutionary, and that is what they have to
1:03:58
break down. When we progress forward into the queer Marxist
1:04:01
age post 1984. When thinking sex was written, what we realize is
1:04:05
that, well, maybe they can't overcome this economic stability
1:04:09
problem so well, but they can overcome psychological
1:04:11
stability. So you have to prevent people from being
1:04:13
psychologically stable. You have to keep them and constantly on
1:04:15
their toes. You have to hit them kind of with psyops after
1:04:18
psyops. But if you can make sure the children are never
1:04:20
stabilized, they're always ready to go do political activism
1:04:23
because they think they live in a world that can't cope with and
1:04:25
the only thing that they know how to do to deal with the world
1:04:27
that can't cope with is the saying goes scream at the sky,
1:04:30
Adam Curry: and take drugs that are prescribed by big pharma.
1:04:33
Unknown: We all saw the Trump election and people falling on
1:04:37
their knees and literally yelling at the sky, or showing
1:04:40
up and doing political activism or showing up by the millions in
1:04:43
communist organized marches that looked like they weren't
1:04:46
communists organized marches like the Women's March, the so
1:04:49
called science march, the all they know to do is show up when
1:04:52
George Floyd dies, and start throwing bricks at buildings,
1:04:56
changing their social media profile bullying, anybody who
1:04:58
doesn't go along, cutting out off their family ties,
1:05:01
specifically around that incident and others. That's the
1:05:05
goal is to make sure there is no psychological stability, we have
1:05:09
to pay attention to the irreparable mental and emotional
1:05:12
harm we're doing to our children as well. We're talking
1:05:15
personality disorders being induced, that will take years
1:05:18
and years and years of therapy if they can ever be resolved, to
1:05:21
be resolved. Secondly, we are severing relationships with the
1:05:26
family so that they don't even with friends, so they don't have
1:05:29
a grounding outside of the cult. This is literally a part of the
1:05:33
cult transition process, the cult induction process. And
1:05:36
thirdly, it is to sever relationships to the religion
1:05:39
and prevailing culture so that you can out with the old in with
1:05:43
the new by getting the whole new generation to want to reset the
1:05:47
culture that they live in to something different. And so they
1:05:50
target children childhood innocence, which is a narrative
1:05:53
used to protect children from not all children benefit from
1:05:57
it, you have innocence, privilege, or whatever. Not all
1:06:00
that within critical race theory. It's an aspect of white
1:06:02
privilege that white kids don't have to grow up thinking about
1:06:04
race where everybody else does. That's an aspect of white
1:06:07
privilege. It's an aspect of male privilege. So you don't
1:06:09
have to grow up worrying about what it's like to be a
1:06:11
vulnerable woman. It's an aspect of straight privilege to not
1:06:15
have to be considered a freak or weirdo or get bullied for being
1:06:17
different or whatever else. So childhood innocence is reserved
1:06:21
for some children, but not others. And therefore that's an
1:06:23
imbalance that has to be made equitable. So let's just make
1:06:27
sure that nobody has childhood innocence is their solution
1:06:29
because equity always equalizes downward, never upward. sales
1:06:34
pitches up, reality is down every single time.
1:06:37
Adam Curry: I've watched hours and hours of this guy, that's
1:06:39
the most succinct I could ever get from him. And notice how the
1:06:43
problem is people are comfortable, so they become
1:06:45
conservative. So that's where your politicians Democrats jump
1:06:50
in there, they become disabled. Oh, wow. These are perfect for
1:06:55
our pharmaceutical drugs. And put everybody into social media
1:07:01
so we can confuse them. We can mind control them SIOP them,
1:07:05
that's what's going on. I don't know well, sanzaar
1:07:08
John C Dvorak: letter you received complaining about our
1:07:11
coverage. Woke in the case of DeSantis is a gimmick. Yeah, it
1:07:20
says it's a massive gimmick. He's got nothing else going on.
1:07:23
And you're right, you have to be for something. It's just a known
1:07:26
fact, not against something to do well, and you know, this
1:07:31
being a gay won't goes to die and all the rest. Now what you
1:07:34
just played, which was great, by the way, I want to bring another
1:07:38
letter. Okay. This is from our producer, Rachel, who we've
1:07:44
gotten to know quite well, ITM. There's a science fiction
1:07:47
convention held every year in Madison, Wisconsin called
1:07:51
Wiscon. And it started in the 70s. As a summit feminist sci fi
1:07:56
convention, basically, so female sci fi fans could gather where
1:08:01
they wouldn't be heckled, or shunned by the overwhelming male
1:08:05
population of mid 20th century sci fi conventions. According to
1:08:10
the original organizers. Fast forward to the 2010s. before
1:08:14
most people had heard of safe spaces or pronoun tags, Wiscon
1:08:19
was doing them, I would attend the panels and just ignore the
1:08:22
other crap, which wasn't too hard. Then last year, Wisconsin
1:08:26
on an email telling everyone who was planning to come that if
1:08:29
they weren't a person of color, they should be quiet, and let
1:08:33
the preferred racist talk. I was so offended I didn't even think
1:08:37
of attending. I go to their website this year and find that
1:08:40
you can't even attend unless you've had a COVID Vax and
1:08:44
intend to masks mask the whole time. My friend who's went said
1:08:50
it's so sad masks everywhere when no one wears them anywhere
1:08:54
else in the city. And she goes on and on about this. And that's
1:08:59
the kind of well and what I usiness that has been taking
1:09:04
over this and that
1:09:05
Adam Curry: and what I what I thought was so astute is what
1:09:07
you wrote in the newsletter about, about protected lands and
1:09:12
and burial grounds.
1:09:15
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, I've just been, I've commented on
1:09:18
this on the show quite a bit, where you have a group and just
1:09:21
to summarize, do have reporters and let's say, Amy Goodman and
1:09:25
others who are avowed atheists and they make a big stink about
1:09:32
it, because, you know, atheism is kind of a religion in itself.
1:09:34
And so you're an atheist, and you make you make, make everyone
1:09:38
know it. For some reason. I don't care about people, how
1:09:41
they feel about things, but atheists like to let everyone
1:09:44
know they're atheist. But yet, when somebody digs up an old
1:09:48
Indian bone, these atheists, all of a sudden they're all my god
1:09:53
is sacred land and sacred, sacred sacred. And it makes no
1:09:57
sense to me. That if you're an atheist Is that anything like
1:10:01
that is sacred especially the logic
1:10:05
Adam Curry: especially when you add in that the trend is to turn
1:10:08
dead dead people your your belly is whether
1:10:11
John C Dvorak: it was based on the article but we're mulching
1:10:14
in California. We're number one by the way. Number one.
1:10:18
Adam Curry: Number one for mulching humans. Nice. Yeah. So
1:10:24
you can just spread to grandma and grandpa anywhere and use it
1:10:27
as fertilizer. But oh, way Oh, boy. If if if it's if it's some
1:10:32
Indian burial ground, the world has to come to a screeching
1:10:35
halt.
1:10:36
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you people should read the
1:10:39
newsletter. So good. Our little article. Hey, you should
1:10:41
subscribe to that. I don't get why they don't some people they
1:10:45
get. They unsubscribe. It's just beyond me.
1:10:49
Adam Curry: Now. Well, yeah. So typically, we would at the end
1:10:53
of this kind of talk, we'd have a tick tock report. I don't see
1:10:56
any tick tock clips. I'm a little little surprised.
1:11:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I try to spread them out a little bit.
1:11:02
Adam Curry: What would that I'd like to thank you for your
1:11:03
courage in the morning to you the man who put the seat in the
1:11:06
Chinese de minimis ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend
1:11:08
on the other end Mr. Johnson
1:11:16
John C Dvorak: see boots on the ground feet in the air such in
1:11:18
the water and all the names and dates. And in the morning
1:11:26
Adam Curry: a lot of them running away, but I was able to
1:11:28
count them real quick. We have 2087 trolls on this Memorial Day
1:11:32
weekend hanging out what do you have no families? You got no
1:11:35
families? The Oh, are you just sitting there with the thing in
1:11:38
your ear? Listen away, like just smile. Well, everyone's doing
1:11:43
the cookout.
1:11:44
John C Dvorak: Best. It's pretty good. 20% Lower. Wow. Okay,
1:11:47
Adam Curry: but still not that and you should stick around. I
1:11:50
wouldn't just leave now because a lot more show on the way. And
1:11:54
you know, the donation segments is where we have all the
1:11:56
interviews. So you may want to listen for our special guest.
1:11:59
The trolls are listening in the troll room.
1:12:01
John C Dvorak: During the also we should mention it and people
1:12:04
know this and some people don't. But people will bail out. They
1:12:06
don't know that during the donation segment. We give out
1:12:09
the secret number. Yes, that's right, that you can use to win
1:12:13
prizes. Yes.
1:12:13
Adam Curry: What about valuable, valuable prizes, we might point
1:12:17
out, troll room.io is where you can listen along and also be in
1:12:22
the in the troll room and interact. We're still
1:12:25
interactive. You can also interact with us at no agenda
1:12:30
social.com Follow Adam on Origin Social calm. Jhansi Dvorak had
1:12:33
no agenda social.com It's still a cool place to be right away.
1:12:38
I'm very burpee today. So where was this? There was a an
1:12:42
announcement, which no one really picked up. Reuters to do
1:12:46
drew Mehta. That's your Facebook and Instagram company has been
1:12:54
contacting talent agencies and celebrities to gauge their
1:12:58
interest in trying an early version of a new Twitter
1:13:02
competitor, which will be integrated with Instagram. Check
1:13:07
it out. Here's the quote. Here's the quote. The decentralized app
1:13:12
is built on the back of Instagram, but will be
1:13:14
compatible with some other apps like Mastodon whoa, whoa. How
1:13:23
about that? Let's,
1:13:27
John C Dvorak: that's a step forward
1:13:28
Adam Curry: be might be. It might be noticed that post
1:13:31
John C Dvorak: used to be another dud Mastodon instance,
1:13:35
Adam Curry: possibly notice that, that Instagram and face
1:13:38
bag and the whole metal family. They're not they're not walking
1:13:42
around going AI. They're not doing that. They are in fact,
1:13:47
the ones that released into open source their foundation model.
1:13:52
So I'm thinking that was perhaps a sabotage bomb launched on
1:13:56
acylic. Well, we'll talk more about AI later. So I think it's
1:14:02
ourselves talking. Ai. Okay, we handle that, of course, value
1:14:09
failure. We do not take any creepy. Commercial any
1:14:14
commercials. We're not We're not beholden to big Big Pharma that
1:14:16
no one who can tell us what to do or what not to do or what to
1:14:19
say or what not to say. We don't need to have a label on our
1:14:22
content so that we're brand safe and suitable. Ah, no, we exist
1:14:26
because of the people who are actual producers of the program.
1:14:29
When I say producers, we have producers who give us content,
1:14:32
boots on the ground, send us clips, local bits of
1:14:35
information. Everybody is an expert at something. So when it
1:14:39
comes down to it, you have an expertise. You hear us fumbling
1:14:42
and bumbling set of straight or get ahead of us and let us know
1:14:46
what's going on in your particular area of expertise.
1:14:50
That we have them all everywhere. Yeah, immediately.
1:14:52
It's just unbelievable how many people in trades, just trades
1:14:56
business stuff that people do. Right up to even the The
1:15:00
hallowed halls of Congress, we have people. We have people in
1:15:02
three letter agencies who typically just like to let us
1:15:05
know that they're listening and having a good time listening to
1:15:08
us getting it mostly right. We also have executive producer and
1:15:11
Associate Executive Producers just like Hollywood, they fund
1:15:14
the operation. We'd like to thank those and we have people
1:15:17
who deliver time and talent in addition to the Treasurer, and
1:15:19
that would be our artists, our artists, our beloved artists,
1:15:23
and every single show we have a new piece of artwork delivered
1:15:27
by one of our artists and we are very, very pleased and very
1:15:31
happy with the artwork for episode 1558 We titled that
1:15:35
media ties which turns out is has nothing to do with media and
1:15:40
we think correct directed for what I really liked. And there
1:15:45
was controversy there was controversy amongst the two of
1:15:48
us for technical reasons this was the Neo nicotine Russian
1:15:53
mercenaries cigarettes totally Russian warning more dangerous
1:15:58
and Wagner group we both loved it but John had some very very
1:16:03
valid concerns. I did not hear anyone mentioned that they it
1:16:07
was hard to read and he said it was my own fault because of my
1:16:12
color blindness that I did not have the same experience as most
1:16:15
people. But we chose it anyway and I appreciate you buckling to
1:16:20
my pressure
1:16:22
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, you're bossy Well, the problem I
1:16:26
had was I don't remember which one I was promoting.
1:16:29
Adam Curry: Let me see you were promoting a number of them you'd
1:16:31
like to
1:16:33
John C Dvorak: put I liked a lot of these pieces but I couldn't
1:16:35
really argue I mean I liked this piece generally I just did not
1:16:41
like light blue on a rich yellow it was just not contrasting
1:16:47
enough for my taste and it should have been more contrast
1:16:49
to light blue should have been some dark blue would have been a
1:16:52
good idea calm for Ukrainian blue would have been a good
1:16:55
ideas. Sweet and blue would have been a good idea any blue, but
1:16:59
you're colorblind and as far as you're concerned, it was black
1:17:03
and white.
1:17:04
Adam Curry: I like contrast it as a word as a technical term.
1:17:08
We shouldn't it was not contrast. You know what you
1:17:10
liked? Was the Seattle on drugs by correct record same artists
1:17:15
of course. Which was the trailer selling and that was it was free
1:17:21
for the homeless and they were selling crack pipes etc, which
1:17:24
is very tiny letters on the blackboard. That's the one you
1:17:28
liked. It was easy to talk you out of that. There wasn't
1:17:35
anything that lots of podcasts are
1:17:37
John C Dvorak: like they're free for the homeless trailer. The
1:17:40
New York one is right. It'd be better if one of the first year
1:17:43
yeah, New York one was was funnier, but he could have made
1:17:45
this one funny by putting some bonehead into the trailer like
1:17:49
he did with the other one. I liked his piece a lot. Seattle's
1:17:52
Best fentanyl. San Francisco would be a good place to put
1:17:56
this dropping dead lifeis here. Yeah. It'd be reworked.
1:18:02
Adam Curry: Well, I'm glad we chose the Neo nicotine. It was
1:18:05
also correct. A record capitalist agenda had a nice
1:18:08
piece that melting mediatized minds but we really was just
1:18:12
there was a lot of what it was a nice piece, but it just couldn't
1:18:15
really place it within context of the show without knowing
1:18:21
without reading the title, which is often a problem. No people
1:18:24
have put the title in there.
1:18:26
John C Dvorak: We both like tiny Turner. We liked it. But if I
1:18:31
then can't even but you being you know, I don't know a stick
1:18:35
in the mud.
1:18:36
Unknown: I didn't want
1:18:38
John C Dvorak: your kids to see the dead. You're making fun of
1:18:40
the dead.
1:18:41
Adam Curry: It's not cool, man. It's just not cool. I like it. I
1:18:44
had a relationship with tiny Turner.
1:18:47
John C Dvorak: Was she over the house? Never.
1:18:49
Adam Curry: While I had dinner, whether I had lunch with her.
1:18:54
That counts for it for some friendship. We were there. We
1:18:57
did a rock night with her.
1:18:58
John C Dvorak: We did Yes, fine. But it was a funny piece. It
1:19:02
Adam Curry: wasn't funny piece. It was inappropriate timing.
1:19:04
That's all. It's just an honor. appropriate timing. But anyway,
1:19:11
thank you very much correct a record. And congratulations on
1:19:14

1:25:28
Adam Curry: onwards with David, character 333 dot 23. I have
1:25:33
fallen in love with your podcast over the past couple of years
1:25:36
and I've decided decided to go all in on being an executive
1:25:39
producer. That's how you show love for love. Donating is
1:25:43
loving. The content of the show helps me to keep my sanity in an
1:25:47
otherwise insane world. Keep up the good work. Thank you. That
1:25:51
is indeed part of the mission. Please accept this donation as a
1:25:55
reflection of the value I received from the best podcast
1:25:59
in the universe. And he gave us a USPS boots on the ground the
1:26:02
note which was quite long, but appreciate it have read that and
1:26:05
we'll incorporate that best wishes and also 70 threes from
1:26:08
David character, November seventh Delta Romeo kilo. And
1:26:13
that's interesting because there was a big article in The
1:26:17
Guardian. Just bring it up here. The Guardian of all places and
1:26:23
the title was no cell phone new problem. The vintage radio
1:26:30
enthusiast prepping for disaster. Ham radio users from
1:26:36
teenagers to 80 Somethings are ready to communicate in the next
1:26:40
crisis beat a wildfire pandemic or big one. And of course, when
1:26:48
I think ham radio stuff, it could be cool again, they have
1:26:51
this enormous picture of a dude in his shack with 1000 radios
1:26:58
you know the one on shelves and stacked and hundreds of
1:27:01
microphones and his log books. And he's sitting there in his
1:27:04
shorts with a beard and a hat. It's it's so it's so
1:27:08
stigmatizing. No one I mean
1:27:12
John C Dvorak: it's humiliating. It is a little bit humiliating
1:27:15
and there's no i Have you ever met a guy I actually actually
1:27:18
met someone that has that rig.
1:27:22

1:38:17
Adam Curry: I made a donation on the website earlier today.
1:38:19

1:38:23

1:39:14
adding yourself to the IMDB database. So you are recognized

here to vora.org/in a thank you again everybody for becoming
1:39:37
execs and associate execs 1559. Our formula is
1:39:41
Unknown: this. We go out for yet people in the mouth
1:40:00
Adam Curry: Gotta do some AI stuff. It's just getting too,
1:40:02
too funny. The world is going nuts.
1:40:06
John C Dvorak: Did you see the AI picture I put in the news?
1:40:09
Adam Curry: I think you need to explain it better. Because it
1:40:13
just I mean, you need a little, little thing a disclaimer around
1:40:17
it that you are literally I in fact, I would like to see the
1:40:21
instruction you give and I wrote it and I know exactly what I
1:40:25
told you need to you need to put it in a little like, prompt box.
1:40:30
So people understand that was the prompt,
1:40:32
John C Dvorak: prompt. Colon. I'm just giving the words I gave
1:40:36
Adam Curry: it. I'm just giving you some visual tips.
1:40:41
John C Dvorak: I don't know what more I can do. Oh, no.
1:40:46
Adam Curry: I guess that's it, then. Well, anyway, yes. I love
1:40:48
it. I love it. Yeah. And that shows you how great the AI is at
1:40:52
understanding English. Guy eating a hamburger. What do we
1:40:56
get? You got a guy with a half the hamburger on the top of his
1:40:58
head? Yeah, it was very funny. ABC Good Morning, America. The
1:41:03
third hour Dr. Sutton checks in is
1:41:06
Unknown: now time to talk about chat GPT. And is it smarter
1:41:11
than your doctor? Intelligence? It's become such a topic. The
1:41:15
trending topic now is can artificial intelligence take
1:41:18
your job and have to say as a physician when I looked at it?
1:41:21
Of course not. But a new study tells me that that might not be
1:41:24
the case. And this new study from the American Journal of
1:41:26
corporate gastroenterology, they use chat TBT, which is a common
1:41:29
artificial intelligence AP, and they submitted questions from
1:41:32
their common board exams. And What score do you think that
1:41:36
chat TBT got?
1:41:38
Adam Curry: Oh, well, What score do you think Chad? GPT. God,
1:41:40
John, on the board entrance exam. What do you think? What do
1:41:43
you think? What do you think? I don't know. How to guess.
1:41:48
Unknown: Past Do you think that Chad TBT God give you just to
1:41:53
give you some understanding? A passing score is 70%.
1:41:56
Adam Curry: He would say 75. Let's give it an ad.
1:42:00
Unknown: Okay, it's scored 65
1:42:03
Adam Curry: Oh, listen, everyone go, Oh, too bad. The stupid
1:42:06
computer couldn't be as good as Doctor Oh,
1:42:08
Unknown: okay. It scored 65%. As the questions began to get more
1:42:13
and more difficult, it began to get less and less accurate. And
1:42:16
also a caveat in this is that they did not produce pictures
1:42:19
per chat GVT, which obviously are a part of normal medical
1:42:22
exams. But the interesting part is that artificial intelligence
1:42:25
is called that because it can continue to learn. And so the
1:42:28
question now is what can we do with this information? How can
1:42:31
we use this for clinical interventions?
1:42:33
Adam Curry: clinical interventions? Oh, it's getting
1:42:35
exciting. Can we use this? Is it the way of the future? Dr.
1:42:39
Sutton? And I
1:42:40
Unknown: know it's too early to tell, but what's the possibility
1:42:42
that this could be the way of the future? You know, I think
1:42:44
that there's a very, very real possibility very, very involved
1:42:48
in clinical medicine. To be a tool in clinical medicine.
1:42:51
Something has to have more than 95% accuracy. Obviously with
1:42:54
today's score, we're not there yet. But can we get there and I
1:42:57
think so. It sounds like one of my professors were not they're
1:43:01
not a replacement clip.
1:43:04
Adam Curry: What did you say? Hey, if
1:43:05
John C Dvorak: you can pass the exam was 75% Why do you need 95%
1:43:10
accuracy in the in the clinic? You don't need 95% accuracy on
1:43:16
the test you
1:43:16
Adam Curry: think that will be good enough wouldn't you? I
1:43:22
don't know what they're thinking over there. Good Morning
1:43:23
America. CNN already has proof that it's working.
1:43:28
Unknown: Researchers using artificial intelligence say they
1:43:31
found an antibiotic that works against a drug resistant
1:43:34
bacteria found in hospitals back the compound was so precise, it
1:43:39
could target the problem pathogen and the beneficial
1:43:42
bacteria in its place. Let's
1:43:45
John C Dvorak: do shit. What
1:43:49
Adam Curry: wish it could have by so that
1:43:51
Unknown: beneficial bacteria in its place. Let's bring in our
1:43:55
CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT Elizabeth Cohen. This sounds
1:43:58
like a positive use of AI for
1:44:01
once a non scary one
1:44:02
Adam Curry: non bunch.
1:44:05
Unknown: It really is probably that is a great way to put it.
1:44:08
This is so exciting. Developing new antibiotics is so difficult,
1:44:13
especially against this bacteria. It's called the US of
1:44:16
neato backdoor Belmonte i
1:44:18
Adam Curry: What is that? What is that so Mach two media by
1:44:21
Monty May. Are you familiar with this? You ever heard of it?
1:44:26
Okay, sounds like a tropical drink. It's
1:44:27
Unknown: this. It's called the US of meto backdoor Belmonte. i
1:44:31
It is smart. It is super smart. It got straight A pluses in
1:44:35
school, I am sure because it has learned to outwit all nearly
1:44:39
Adam Curry: what kind of doctor describes a bacteria as smart,
1:44:43
super smart, A pluses all through school that graduated
1:44:46
with honors
1:44:47
Unknown: almani i It is smart. It is super smart. It got
1:44:50
straight A pluses in school, I am sure because it has learned
1:44:54
to outwit on nearly all of the antibiotics that we throw at it
1:44:58
sometimes all the antibiotics that we you throw at it with AI,
1:45:01
what you do is that the computer learns and learns what's working
1:45:06
and what's not. And so you can test many, many more properties,
1:45:10
or many molecules, many more potential drugs at once you can
1:45:13
do hundreds of millions, you can do a billion, and so you land on
1:45:16
the white ones.
1:45:18
Adam Curry: So what I'm taking away from this is that they're
1:45:21
using an algorithm which doesn't sound like intelligence. To me,
1:45:25
it sounds like an algorithm with a fast processor that does trial
1:45:30
and error very, very quickly. Machine learning might be a more
1:45:33
accurate statement. But oh, no, this is just This is fabulous.
1:45:37
Unknown: These researchers, they came up with one, they put it on
1:45:39
a mouse who was wounded and had an infection with that bacteria.
1:45:43
And they found that not only did it work, but it didn't harm the
1:45:46
good bacteria. Now, I will say this is a great day to be a
1:45:49
mouse, this is a wonderful day to be an infected mouse. This is
1:45:52
not going to be on the market for humans anytime soon. It
1:45:56
takes years because you need to make sure this is safe, and he
1:45:59
needs to convince a pharmaceutical company that
1:46:00
they'll make money off of this. Yes, why
1:46:04
John C Dvorak: shouldn't AI tell whether it's safe or not?
1:46:07
Adam Curry: That's a very good question anytime soon.
1:46:10
Unknown: It takes years because you need to make sure this is
1:46:12
safe, and he need to convince a pharmaceutical company that
1:46:14
they'll make money off of it. Both of those things are pretty
1:46:17
challenging.
1:46:18
Okay, but this morning, we'll celebrate for our mice
1:46:20
everywhere as
1:46:22
Adam Curry: we celebrate for the mice everywhere. So we can't we
1:46:24
can't get that into some trials. You know, we have to convince
1:46:28
the pharmaceutical But meanwhile, we've had no we've
1:46:31
had ABC NBC, here's CBS Elon Musk's
1:46:34
Unknown: company neuro link will says it has received approval
1:46:38
from the FDA to conduct its first in human clinical study
1:46:43
that Musk helped co found the new
1:46:45
Adam Curry: interview is
1:46:47
John C Dvorak: inhuman that's funny the way it's worded Yeah,
1:46:51
Adam Curry: cuz it almost sounds like inhumane the way I heard it
1:46:53
human click, go back into this further in human to conduct its
1:46:57
Unknown: first in human clinical study that Musk helped co found
1:47:02
the neurological neurologic neuro technology rather. I love
1:47:08
the
1:47:09
Adam Curry: neuro I'm sorry, guys, I didn't get the briefing
1:47:11
this morning. First
1:47:12
Unknown: in human clinical study, Musk helped co found the
1:47:17
neurological neurologic neuro technology rather company to
1:47:22
develop Hey, you
1:47:23
Adam Curry: know what she needs one of these things. implant,
1:47:27
Unknown: co founder with the neurological neurologic neuro
1:47:31
technology rather company, which aims to develop brain implants
1:47:35
to help people who are paralyzed walk again. In a tweet neuro
1:47:39
link says recruitment for the trial is not yet open. And the
1:47:43
company has was launched in 2016.
1:47:45
Adam Curry: Okay, you're fired. Worst read ever. Now there is
1:47:52
one area which I picked up from NPR. There's one area where AI
1:47:59
is particularly of the chat GPT variety will in fact, dominate
1:48:04
over human beings in very specific situations. And the
1:48:10
title of this report is can a chat bot help people with eating
1:48:17
disorders as well as just as well as a human can? And a
1:48:24
little spoiler, an organization indeed, decided to take away
1:48:32
their phone operators and replace it with a chat bot. And
1:48:37
the reason why may surprise you and this I think, particularly
1:48:41
in the United States might be a big hit to use AI.
1:48:45
Unknown: nearly 70,000 people last year reached out to a
1:48:48
helpline operated by the National Eating Disorders
1:48:51
Association. Those numbers had more than doubled during the
1:48:54
COVID emergency and they still haven't returned to pre pandemic
1:48:57
levels. But now the association is shutting down that helpline
1:49:01
in favor of a chatbot Kate wells with Michigan Radio has more.
1:49:05
The helpline is run by just six paid staffers, a couple
1:49:08
supervisors and they train and oversee up to 200 volunteers at
1:49:13
any given time. The staff felt overwhelmed under supported
1:49:17
burned out there was a ton of turnover. So the helpline staff
1:49:21
voted to unionize.
1:49:22
So cliche but like we did not have our oxygen masks on and we
1:49:27
were putting on everyone else's oxygen mask and I was just like
1:49:31
becoming unsustainable.
1:49:33
Managers at the National Eating Disorders Association or NIDA
1:49:37
also thought that this situation was becoming unsustainable. In
1:49:41
March, the helpline staff formally notified Anita about
1:49:44
their unionization. Four days later, they were in what seems
1:49:47
like a pretty routine virtual staff meeting and PR obtained
1:49:51
audios a call and abruptly need as board chair Jeff kradic fired
1:49:56
all the helpline staff after more than 20 years The helpline
1:50:00
was being shut down. Instead, Pratik said Anita would be
1:50:04
transitioning to a chatbot named Tessa. This is Dr. Ellen
1:50:09
Fitzsimmons craft. She's a professor of psychiatry at
1:50:12
Washington University's medical school. Anita paid her team to
1:50:16
create Tessa a few years ago. And right now the Chatbot can
1:50:21
walk a user through a specific series of therapeutic techniques
1:50:25
about something like body image.
1:50:27
It's not an open
1:50:28
ended tool for you to talk to and feel like you're just gonna
1:50:31
have access to kind of a listening ear. Maybe like the
1:50:35
helpline was Tessa is not chat GPT she can't think for herself
1:50:41
or go off the rails like that, oh, she's programmed with only a
1:50:44
limited number of possible responses, and Fitzsimons, craft
1:50:47
and her team have done small studies showing that people who
1:50:50
interact with tests actually do better than those who are just
1:50:53
put on the waitlist.
1:50:55
Adam Curry: I think this is the future of AI. unionize. You're
1:51:00
replaced with a chat bot.
1:51:03
John C Dvorak: This is what you see, you know, these robots call
1:51:06
every so often, you know, with this Comcast or spectrum, you
1:51:10
know, it once was a robot, I find a little glitch to use a
1:51:15
term. Yes. So the robot calls and you recognize it and not not
1:51:20
a recording. But a robot is a difference the robot you can
1:51:24
interact with. So you say to the robot, hang up.
1:51:31
Adam Curry: Does that No.
1:51:34
John C Dvorak: resets. Oh, it resets right to the beginning of
1:51:38
the pitch at any point. You can just say hang up and then it
1:51:41
resets. Then you say hang up again. And then it hangs up.
1:51:46
Adam Curry: Oh, and what?
1:51:47
John C Dvorak: I've done this with two robots. Okay, I don't
1:51:49
Adam Curry: get the robot calls. I get I get the Chinese calls.
1:51:52
You get those Chinese calls?
1:51:54
John C Dvorak: Oh, with the guy speaks in Chinese? Yes, I do.
1:51:59
But rarely I get maybe one a month. I got a Chinese dominated
1:52:04
area. So you'd think I'd get more of a no.
1:52:07
Adam Curry: I got another one of those phony baloney calls. How's
1:52:11
it called?
1:52:13
John C Dvorak: The pig cooler gonna come to our rescue. That's
1:52:15
my favorite.
1:52:17
Adam Curry: No, no, no, no, this one is. Hey, I just saw you on
1:52:20
the street. Are you home yet? This is really good.
1:52:26
John C Dvorak: If you have not gotten this call.
1:52:29
Adam Curry: No, it's not a call. It's a text message. So yeah, I
1:52:32
don't live in 3211 32. Hey, I just saw you on the street and
1:52:37
I'm sitting at home like No, you didn't? And then to 2:43pm Are
1:52:41
you home yet? Now, you know what happened? I figured a lot people
1:52:45
told me this is called grilling the pig or something. And it's
1:52:48
all it's all Chinese based. David sometimes using like sex
1:52:51
slaves to do this. But the whole idea is this is a very good ex
1:52:55
slaves to do. Yeah, it's a very, very long game. So the idea is
1:52:59
you wind up talking to him as always gonna be some girl.
1:53:02
She'll send you a picture and she looks great dynamite. And
1:53:06
then you show yeah. And they'll talk with you for weeks, maybe
1:53:09
even months. And then eventually, it's like, you know
1:53:13
what, you should invest in this in this crypto coin. And they
1:53:18
have a whole phony baloney crypto exchange, where they show
1:53:22
your investment winning your investment is going up and going
1:53:27
up and it's great and it's fantastic list and you'll put
1:53:29
some more in Yes, you buy some more. Oh, we have a little dip
1:53:32
that some more and then eventually you just I mean you
1:53:34
all your money is gone. Of course. You're just looking at
1:53:36
some phony baloney exchange thing they put up on a website.
1:53:40
They will take months to do this. And they cleaning out
1:53:44
people stupid guys, of course. Wow. Yeah, it's a well known
1:53:48
scam apparently.
1:53:49
John C Dvorak: That's a good one.
1:53:52
Adam Curry: You know, I was talking with a man I wish I
1:53:54
could have a clip of it. I tried but I guess it was a dynamic ad.
1:53:59
thing with Glenn Beck aired, and we were talking about AI and
1:54:03
he's all Oh, and I'm like, nah, this is bullcrap. It's not gonna
1:54:07
happen. Not gonna happen like that, you know not to be so
1:54:11
worried about its hype. It's Silicon Valley trying to protect
1:54:14
themselves. And then they cut to a commercial and it's literally
1:54:18
Glenn Beck saying AI is going to eat the world. I really am
1:54:22
trying to find that commercial of is is so beautiful. The
1:54:26
timing of it. The best, the best. Aya Have you seen DeSantis
1:54:32
as Michael Scott in the office?
1:54:35
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I've seen a couple there's another one going
1:54:37
around to that is what are you seeing the thing I liked the
1:54:41
most of all these crazy memes going around and video memes is
1:54:45
the bad lip reading of the last State of the Union speech.
1:54:51
Adam Curry: I've seen a couple of those. I don't know if I've
1:54:54
seen the most recent one.
1:54:56
John C Dvorak: Yeah, was the 2023 state of the bad lip
1:54:59
reading
1:55:00
Adam Curry: Well I can tell you what this is this is actually
1:55:03
this is where the danger it will danger I mean whatever you want
1:55:06
but the better these these video a I'll just call them video a
1:55:10
eyes vies the better they get the closer we come to mandatory
1:55:18
verification of ID for any corporate social media side
1:55:23
right that you can post something on that I think that
1:55:28
an Elon I think knows this he knows what he knows this is
1:55:30
coming that's why he started early with the verification with
1:55:33
paying for verification.
1:55:36
John C Dvorak: What good isn't going to do if I get a thing
1:55:39
I've verified let's say and I've got dog paid my money do
1:55:42
whatever I had to do to get all my numbers in somebody passes me
1:55:46
through normal emailed some other back channel, it gives me
1:55:49
one of these videos, and I'll post it anyway
1:55:52
Adam Curry: right but then at least you posted it and then
1:55:54
they can go after you personally for posting what what are they
1:55:57
going after me miss or disinformation bro.
1:56:01
John C Dvorak: So they call it said this is this information is
1:56:04
Oh, I'm sorry. I was hoaxed.
1:56:06
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's right. But you'll have to take it down
1:56:07
and they can come straight to you. That's the whole point.
1:56:10
John C Dvorak: So what they're going to come straight to me and
1:56:12
do what?
1:56:13
Adam Curry: Remove you. So you can never do that. Again, the
1:56:16
going? This is a control mechanism. It's a control. It's
1:56:22
a control mechanism. I'm just telling you what's coming, you
1:56:27
know,
1:56:27
John C Dvorak: nothing's coming.
1:56:28
Adam Curry: I know you don't have to worry. Nothing's coming.
1:56:31
You want to put that in the book there? Dude, you want to put
1:56:33
that in the book?
1:56:34
John C Dvorak: Nothing's coming.
1:56:38
Adam Curry: Yes, it is mandatory verification of identification
1:56:42
is coming to anything you any corporate website
1:56:46
John C Dvorak: here in the next two years in the next 10 years,
1:56:48
what?
1:56:50
Adam Curry: One year from now, one year from now put it in the
1:56:53
book one year from now You bet.
1:56:56
John C Dvorak: Can somebody take a note on this? Because I don't
1:56:58
want my book around. Now running a year from now mandatory
1:57:02
identification is required for what? A nice book?
1:57:06
Adam Curry: Yes. Any corporate, any corporately owned, user
1:57:11
generated or user hosted site. So okay, so YouTube. Now you I
1:57:19
just have to say it'll be mandatory for Google for meta
1:57:23
for Twitter for
1:57:26
John C Dvorak: blanked it on.
1:57:27
Adam Curry: No,
1:57:28
John C Dvorak: no, not what there is, is a make?
1:57:30
Adam Curry: No, because that's not a corporate they can't
1:57:32
enforce that on Corp. It does. Macedon does not matter in this
1:57:36
there's no no money. I mean, it will be necessary for the new
1:57:41
Instagram, Twitter clone, which if that integrates with Mastodon
1:57:45
Yes. Only for corporate so it doesn't matter about that all
1:57:48
the other stuff is irrelevant, irrelevant to these people. So
1:57:52
yeah, within one year, guaranteed. You'll have to show
1:57:55
government ID to be able to post on any corporate owned entity.
1:58:05
Okay, I know you don't care. I'm just saying that's what's
1:58:08
happening.
1:58:09
John C Dvorak: Besides not caring. I think it's no good.
1:58:14
Let's play a couple odd clips here. Okay. About the old way
1:58:19
there's this thing going on in Texas. They're making a big fuss
1:58:22
over.
1:58:24
Adam Curry: Oh, our attorney general.
1:58:26
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm gonna play this. This is the NPR clip
1:58:29
but I have to make a comment afterwards.
1:58:32
Unknown: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been impeached.
1:58:36
Sergio Martinez Beltran with the Texas newsroom reports members
1:58:40
of Paxton Republican Party voted for the resolution to impeach
1:58:45
the Texas House overwhelmingly voted 121 to 23 to adopt the
1:58:50
articles of impeachment against the Attorney General Ken Paxton.
1:58:53
The majority of Republicans voted to impeach including GOP
1:58:57
State Representative Jeff Leach
1:58:59
he appears to show little or no contrition for scandalous
1:59:01
behavior while in office.
1:59:03
Paxton has been accused of constitutional bribery, the
1:59:06
reduction of duty and retaliation against former
1:59:08
employees. Paxton has denied any allegations of wrongdoing has
1:59:13
been immediately suspended from his duties spending a trial in
1:59:15
the Texas Senate. Okay, so
1:59:18
John C Dvorak: they go to all the reports you see here you
1:59:21
like go to Google News or GOP GOP GOP GOP it's like they're
1:59:26
making such a fuss about this guy being a Republican and at
1:59:29
the fact that the Republican led house and I guess the Senate
1:59:34
will be next is voted to get rid of that guy's a bad actor. You
1:59:38
get rid of it. What it doesn't got anything to do with the
1:59:40
politics at this point.
1:59:42
Adam Curry: And this surprises you? Yeah. Well, let's stay with
1:59:48
politics. The big runoff is taking place as we speak in
1:59:53
Turkey a turkey a this is probably the best report I've
1:59:58
received because we have Erawan the incumbent who is not a good
2:00:02
actor as far as we're concerned, although, you know, he has
2:00:06
presided over the stewardship of Turkey A's NATO membership. Do
2:00:12
you know anything about the About Us opponent to me who is
2:00:15
running against him?
2:00:17
John C Dvorak: How would I know anything but weird considering
2:00:19
the media that we have reporting to us?
2:00:21
Adam Curry: Well, France 24 did a pretty good job of buddies.
2:00:24
Yep. Let me tell you that the people walking into this
2:00:27
building behind me, are voters going to vote, polls have just
2:00:31
opened? Yeah, when it comes to the high points. While chemical
2:00:35
it's to all the challenger in this election, has turned out to
2:00:39
be a much better candidate than we expected. He introduced a
2:00:43
style of campaigning through shooting videos in his modest
2:00:47
kitchen and posting them on social media that one Himo wide
2:00:53
appeal. Secondly, his appealed to the minorities, to the Kurds
2:00:58
and to the allergies, one wide, widespread respect among voters
2:01:05
when it comes to the high points further one. Well, that has to
2:01:09
be the fact that he managed to retain majority just as support
2:01:14
despite the economy being in the doldrums. Yes, I will recognize
2:01:18
that he's going all the time. You know, all the opinion polls,
2:01:22
were predicting that kilohertz dollar was going to win this
2:01:25
election. Instead, Erdogan has come out ahead when it comes to
2:01:30
the low points of the campaign well, for camo Khaled to all his
2:01:34
saying in the past two weeks as he has toughened his campaign to
2:01:37
appeal to nationalistic voters, his saying that there are 10
2:01:42
million refugees in Turkey. And if he's elected president, he
2:01:46
will expel them all within 12 months. Wow. This is nonsense.
2:01:50
There are not 10 million refugees in Turkey. The real
2:01:54
figure is just above 4 million. And those refugees have jobs. If
2:02:01
you were to expel them, suddenly, it would disrupt a
2:02:03
certain sectors of the economy. And secondly, it would be
2:02:08
illegal under international law. And what is interesting about
2:02:13
about this guy, and I didn't know anything about it, he has
2:02:15
you know, he's doing viral videos from his kitchen gained
2:02:20
super popularity very, very quickly. Everyone's loving him.
2:02:25
And now Erawan is pulling ahead. Do you think that the fact that
2:02:30
air Dhawan requested Twitter be shut off and Turkey has anything
2:02:33
to do with it? That's what happened. Called up Ilan said
2:02:40
hey, can you just shut this down for a little bit? It's harshing
2:02:45
my mellow like shut it off. And so now everyone's pulling your
2:02:48
head. I don't know if we have if we have the outcome yet. I think
2:02:51
there's multiple runoff votes.
2:02:53
John C Dvorak: I'd be surprised if he lost. I would too. But but
2:02:57
but in in most situations when you have an economy that you are
2:03:02
personally responsible for tanking and he is on big time.
2:03:06
He's the one who said new new let's lower the interest rates.
2:03:11
And now they got 100% inflation. That's insane. That guy's an
2:03:15
idiot when it comes to the economy and he screwed it up
2:03:18
screwed the pooch as they would like to say when the show but
2:03:23
they're gonna vote him in anyway because he's got a lot of
2:03:25
illiterate dummies voting for him out in the out out skirts of
2:03:29
town. And he can weaken when he probably will. And I think he's
2:03:34
also got some
2:03:35
Adam Curry: meaning. Now he has the media and you know that
2:03:37
Twitter was the secret weapon of this, this surprise viral
2:03:43
candidate who of course also has a really horrible name because
2:03:46
we can't pronounce it. We don't understand what his name is. I
2:03:50
can't even I can't, I've heard this. I clipped this thing. I've
2:03:53
heard it five times. I still don't know the guy's name.
2:03:55
That's a problem.
2:03:57
John C Dvorak: Okay, back to another angle here. Another
2:03:59
different story. This I think was is progress, although
2:04:05
everyone's getting all bent out of shape. And I should have
2:04:06
played this clip and yesterday, the Tick Tock clip but this is
2:04:09
the trans bikers in the UK clip that is it for on NPR. And I
2:04:16
think this is a kind of a semi solution to issues that are
2:04:19
undergoing that are underway. Let's say in professional
2:04:24
sports,
2:04:24
Unknown: British Cycling is banning trans women from
2:04:26
competing and female categories as amperes Lauren Frayer reports
2:04:30
a lead cycling and Britain will now be split into two categories
2:04:34
female and open
2:04:35
female will be for those assigned as female at birth
2:04:38
along with transgender men who have yet to begin hormone
2:04:41
therapy. What used to be called the men's category will now be
2:04:45
called open and it'll be for everyone else. Those assigned as
2:04:49
male at birth plus transgender women, transgender men and non
2:04:53
binary people. Trans women have criticized this change. It
2:04:57
differs from the rules of cycling's world governing body
2:05:00
which tests trans women's testosterone and lets them
2:05:04
compete if their levels are below a certain threshold. That
2:05:07
group is reevaluating its policy though, after a trans woman won
2:05:11
a top race this month in New Mexico.
2:05:13
Adam Curry: Oh, this is I read the story. I'm glad you got a
2:05:16
clip. I demand now on every form that asks for my gender. I want
2:05:21
to be open. I want an open category. What is that? You
2:05:26
know? You think this is good? I think it's horrible.
2:05:29
John C Dvorak: I think is great.
2:05:30
Adam Curry: I think you know, by by saying you have women
2:05:33
assigned female at birth, no, they're they're women. And then
2:05:38
open. I don't want to be in the open category. My man.
2:05:42
John C Dvorak: My man is you're in the open category. And you're
2:05:44
a man you have a good shot at winning, not me. Well, yeah,
2:05:48
like what's your right? You should be a woman. There
2:05:53
Adam Curry: you go. There you go. All right now to the I think
2:05:57
one of the best stories is of course, what's continuing to
2:06:00
happen with Ukraine. We have the leader of the free world
2:06:04
Ukraine, running around doing commencement speech, although
2:06:07
it's through video, he's done his world tour. He's in a
2:06:10
shopping spree. He's asked everybody everyone's showing up
2:06:13
to him, giving him all kinds of awards and oh, so beautiful. And
2:06:17
then now, I don't know if you've seen this but Sean Penn came
2:06:22
through and produced a new video for him tonight as
2:06:25
Unknown: this nation appears on the brink of a counter offensive
2:06:28
for Ukrainian army releasing a slick new recruitment video
2:06:31
featuring latest needle acquisitions German Leopard you
2:06:34
tanks ammunition, the US made Patriot air defense system, and
2:06:39
a call to arms posted by Ukraine's top general titled,
2:06:42
now is the time to take that what is ours. Earlier today we
2:06:47
press senior adviser to President Solinsky Makayla
2:06:50
Podolski back on whether it was a hint on the eve of battle
2:06:53
imminently. Today, he tells us that counter offensive is
2:06:58
inevitable and it's already started. But Daniel, no, this is
2:07:03
not a matter of one day. He says, we see the intensifying
2:07:07
attacks on the Russian rear positions. We're preparing the
2:07:10
battlefield for this new phase of the war. There's new
2:07:14
ammunition more advanced weapons, better trained troops
2:07:17
close to the frontline. And it comes bigoli tells us as
2:07:20
Ukraine's Western allies are no longer afraid of the word
2:07:24
escalation by
2:07:30
Adam Curry: no longer free, yeah, yeah, go ahead. When
2:07:32
John C Dvorak: did that happen? When were we suddenly not afraid
2:07:35
of the word escalation when that happened specifically?
2:07:38
Adam Curry: Well, I think that happened when Victoria Nuland
2:07:42
reappeared on the scene that's what I think
2:07:47
John C Dvorak: he's reappeared
2:07:48
Adam Curry: Yes. What's that jingle where in the world? Where
2:07:52
John C Dvorak: in the world is Victoria? Where
2:07:54
Adam Curry: in the world? Is? It this one in the world is Woodrow
2:08:00
Snowden Yeah.
2:08:07
Noodle, that's Nudelman. I can't I don't have it.
2:08:13
John C Dvorak: I do have it.
2:08:14
Adam Curry: I have it. But it's must be where in though maybe
2:08:17
it's Miss titled? No, man. Oh, everything's missed title.
2:08:23
Everything. Yes. Everything is missed titles. Okay, well,
2:08:26
someone will help me with it. Yes. At the get this 15th Kyiv
2:08:35
Kyiv security forum? The 15th. I didn't I missed one through 14.
2:08:44
Did you even know? No, there was a key security forum.
2:08:50
John C Dvorak: I didn't know this. We've been doing the show.
2:08:51
15 years and this is the first I've heard of it.
2:08:54
Adam Curry: Subtitle fighting for NATO.
2:08:57
John C Dvorak: Fighting for NATO. That's interesting. That's
2:09:00
presumptuous. Don't you think?
2:09:02
Adam Curry: Who was there? Our buddy yaps member Yeah, that's
2:09:07
John C Dvorak: yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. There
2:09:09
Adam Curry: from the famous ft EU clip. Yeah. And he now now
2:09:13
there's a lot of subtleties here. Victoria Kagan Nudelman
2:09:18
was not at the 15th Cube security forum. She was beamed
2:09:24
in from Washington which tells me
2:09:27
John C Dvorak: she beamed in for wisdom tells me that she her
2:09:29
girth is at such a point. Now she can't get on a plane.
2:09:32
Adam Curry: Let's put it this way. I was Olympic wouldn't
2:09:34
wouldn't be bad for her. I mean, she has ballooned. I'm sure she
2:09:41
can't help it. I'm sure it's
2:09:44
John C Dvorak: glandular. I'm
2:09:45
Adam Curry: sure it's glandular. But, but she doesn't dress very.
2:09:50
I mean, she's still wearing the old stuff. You know? I was like
2:09:52
no Vicki. We could we could definitely help her out a little
2:09:56
bit. I mean the hair or you could change the makeup we could
2:09:59
do a look Could mean, big woman, but we could help her out a lot
2:10:04
with some tips. But she doesn't seem to care. Now, the fact that
2:10:08
she's beaming in via, via video tells me that we're the our
2:10:15
support is waning a little bit. You know, and or that's not as
2:10:19
important for her to be there. I mean, when she's probably
2:10:22
getting on a plane to go to Africa, which will be the new
2:10:24
theater for her. But she got a nice intro by yachts. And we'll
2:10:29
listen a little bit and we'll stop it.
2:10:31
Unknown: Madam Secretary, the floor is yours. And we, on
2:10:35
behalf of the cube security forum, we are very grateful. And
2:10:38
we really commend the efforts that you undertake to support
2:10:41
Ukraine, the Biden administration and your
2:10:43
personally. We managed to do unbelievable, but we believe
2:10:48
that Ukraine will prevail together with you.
2:10:54
Can you Good afternoon, everybody, our Sydney, Ukrainian
2:10:59
friends, it is an honor to be with you once again. Who would
2:11:03
have thought that 15 months later we would be here with
2:11:08
Ukraine not only surviving, but with the prospect and all of our
2:11:15
intention that she should, once again Friday. That is what we
2:11:20
are working on with you from Washington. And even as you plan
2:11:25
for the counter offensive, which we have been working on with
2:11:30
you.
2:11:32
Adam Curry: While What did she just say? What did she just say?
2:11:37
That's war talk. As we prepare for the counter offensive that
2:11:42
we've been working on with you, because you have just the
2:11:47
PowerPoint or I mean that to me that's culpability right there
2:11:53
that she
2:11:55
Unknown: agree. Once again, Friday. That is what we are
2:11:59
working on with you from Washington. And even as you plan
2:12:04
for the counter offensive, which we have been working on with you
2:12:10
for some four or five months. We are already beginning our
2:12:14
discussions with the Ukrainian government and with friends in
2:12:18
Keefe. Both in the civilian side and on the military side about
2:12:22
Ukraine's long term future.
2:12:24
Adam Curry: Okay. So the idea here is that the outcome of this
2:12:31
counter offensive, which have been working on for four or five
2:12:34
months, it will be the end of something whether I think she
2:12:40
even said the Ukraine in the beginning, where the Ukraine
2:12:43
wins, or Russia, this was ending.
2:12:46
Unknown: So I thought it would be most useful just to outline a
2:12:49
few of the things that we were thinking about here. As we go
2:12:53
from the Hiroshima g7 summit, and President Solinsky is
2:12:58
historic appearance there after his tour of Europe and the
2:13:02
Middle East, to the Vilnius NATO Summit and beyond, with your
2:13:07
counter-offensive likely starting and moving. And
2:13:12
currently with all of that,
2:13:14
Adam Curry: so it's coming. She's even signaling when it's
2:13:17
coming. This is this to me, is newsworthy, no one caught this,
2:13:23
no one caught this except our producers.
2:13:25
Unknown: First we're thinking about security, that Ukraine is
2:13:31
going to need a world class to turn military for the long term.
2:13:36
And we have said we will be with you for the long term. So we are
2:13:39
beginning to plan now what that military needs to look like. So
2:13:44
wherever and however, this ends, we are not one year, six years,
2:13:51
16 years doing this again. Okay.
2:13:55
Adam Curry: What I'm hearing her say is no matter how this ends,
2:13:59
no matter how whether you lose, whether you get devastated.
2:14:03
We're going to be levelized realize that's a term. Thank
2:14:06
you, we'll be with you for and this was weird, one year, six
2:14:11
years, 16 years. What is on her mind kind
2:14:14
John C Dvorak: of what she says she play that again, it's okay.
2:14:17
She said, we're not going to be doing this 16 years from now
2:14:20
going to
2:14:20
Unknown: need a world class to turn military for the long term.
2:14:26
And we have said we will be with you for the long term. So we are
2:14:29
beginning to plan now what that military needs to look like. So
2:14:33
wherever and however, this ends, we are not one year, six years,
2:14:40
16 years doing this again.
2:14:43
Adam Curry: You're right. So wherever however whenever
2:14:46
however this ends, that's pretty open ended instead of saying
2:14:52
after we're victorious. I mean, she's, I think this is
2:14:58
signalizes site
2:15:00
Unknown: Go look alike. So wherever and however, this ends,
2:15:06
we are not one year, six years, 16 years doing this, again, that
2:15:12
Russia will see that this one didn't pay and any future
2:15:15
aggression will not pay. That's number one. Number two, is the
2:15:20
strongest possible economy. I'm gonna guess that my friend
2:15:24
Natalie dresscode spoke to that. This is not simply a matter of
2:15:30
surviving, but again, thriving, and we believe that Ukraine has
2:15:34
everything that it needs, on its path to EU membership, to play
2:15:40
that essential role, not just in growing and thriving itself. But
2:15:47
being part of the of Europe, the broader Europe's larger
2:15:52
resilience.
2:15:54
Adam Curry: Because she cares so much about Europe. And this
2:15:57
Unknown: is going to be essentially it's going to be
2:16:01
Adam Curry: we'll play the jingle in a minute, don't worry,
2:16:02
Unknown: of the of Europe, the broader Europe's larger
2:16:06
resilience, and this is going to be essential, it's going to be
2:16:09
essential for Ukraine, to get those tech jobs back going those
2:16:14
Adam Curry: tech jobs, oh, Ukraine, after you realize
2:16:18
you're getting tech jobs,
2:16:20
Unknown: larger resilience, and this is going to be essential,
2:16:23
it's going to be essential for Ukraine, to get those tech jobs
2:16:27
back going those manufacturing jobs.
2:16:29
Adam Curry: What does that mean back going? What is this? What
2:16:31
is his English he used to get those tech jobs back going? What
2:16:35
does that mean? What is this? What kind of English is he using
2:16:37
now? higiene English,
2:16:39
Unknown: the broader Europe's larger resilience, and this is
2:16:43
going to be essential, it's going to be essential for
2:16:44
Ukraine to get those tech jobs back going those manufacturing
2:16:50
jobs back going. Good Jobs got that going. So it just back
2:16:55
Adam Curry: going with this is crazy. You're gonna get tech
2:16:58
jobs back going and get manufacturing back going.
2:17:04
John C Dvorak: There, she used the Biden ism, good job,
2:17:07
Adam Curry: good jobs back, Joe
2:17:08
John C Dvorak: have you and your job.
2:17:12
Unknown: And this is going to be essential. It's going to be
2:17:14
essential for Ukraine,
2:17:16
Adam Curry: learn to code Ukraine,
2:17:18
Unknown: get those tech jobs back going those manufacturing
2:17:21
jobs back going. Good Jobs got that going. So that your IDPs,
2:17:28
and folks who have left Ukraine have a reason to come home, but
2:17:32
also when your soldiers come off the front, so they have good
2:17:36
jobs. And then you can be Wait
2:17:38
Adam Curry: a minute, when your soldiers come off the front.
2:17:41
They need good jobs. What happened to that army to that
2:17:45
that massive force you're going to be building you don't need
2:17:48
them for that tipping mobilized, John, I think you're right. This
2:17:52
is over for Ukraine,
2:17:54
Unknown: the engine of Europe's revitalization as well. So
2:17:59
that's the second piece. And then the last piece is setting
2:18:03
that democratic example, not only for your part of the world,
2:18:07
but for the whole world. You've already set such a spectacular
2:18:11
example of what it means to stand up for your own freedom to
2:18:14
stand up for UN principles. And we know that the Ukrainian
2:18:18
people are supporting a more democratic more European freer,
2:18:25
cleaner Ukraine,
2:18:26
Adam Curry: notice this notice not democratic free, no more
2:18:30
democratic freer, a cleaner Freer thinks should freer, most
2:18:36
listening, it's already
2:18:37
Unknown: set such a spectacular example of what it means to
2:18:40
stand up for your own freedom to stand up for UN principles. And
2:18:44
we know that the Ukrainian people are supporting a more
2:18:49
democratic more European freer, cleaner Ukraine.
2:18:54
Adam Curry: She deleted her she did say cleaner Ukraine, dirty
2:18:58
Ukrainians. What does that mean? Because it's corrupt. Because
2:19:03
it's a corrupt country,
2:19:05
Unknown: more democratic, more European, freer, cleaner
2:19:09
Ukraine, and that it has to be an essential part of where
2:19:14
Ukraine ends up as an example for the entire world of
2:19:18
democratic strength. That's going to require continued
2:19:21
unity. It's going to require continued unity among your
2:19:24
partners, and within the governments of your partners. So
2:19:28
we're working on all of those things. And this is what I'll
2:19:31
say.
2:19:42
Adam Curry: To you, there you go. care so much about a Europe.
2:19:48
This does not bode well
2:19:51
John C Dvorak: for Ukraine, for either of our theories,
2:19:54
Adam Curry: especially if you listen to the Russian ambassador
2:19:57
to the UK Have you as interviewed by the BBC by a
2:20:02
hostile BBC interviewer, I might point out, it's a
2:20:05
Unknown: big, idealistic mistake to think that Ukraine may
2:20:09
prevail. Russia is 16 times bigger than Ukraine. We have
2:20:14
enormous resources. And we can we haven't just started here to
2:20:19
act very, very seriously. And so this could I don't think so, we
2:20:26
could just go on then for years, that depends on the Air Force in
2:20:32
escalation or war as it is being undertaken by NATO countries,
2:20:36
especially by the UK, sooner or later, of course, this
2:20:39
escalation may go to a new dimension, which we do not need
2:20:44
and we do not want. What do you mean by a new dimension? new
2:20:48
dimension, it is a long range missiles that has been provided
2:20:52
by United Kingdom it is an escalation. Thanks put away that
2:20:56
you had to kind of put away the thought was that we're not
2:20:58
afraid of aircrafts. In fact, we have I don't know by now, for
2:21:02
candidates, Ukrainian aircrafts and provision of new it is only
2:21:07
will add to these numbers.
2:21:09
Adam Curry: He's laughing so go ahead, bring more aircraft will
2:21:12
shoot him down. That's what he's saying. I mean, of course, we
2:21:15
don't really know. We don't know all we get is oh, we get over
2:21:20
here stuff like this.
2:21:23
Unknown: Overnight, a series of drone and missile strikes
2:21:25
reported across Ukraine, including the capital region of
2:21:28
key President Solinsky says a medical facility was set in the
2:21:31
central Ukrainian city of nipro 16 People are reported injured,
2:21:35
including a six year old and a three year old. Military
2:21:38
officials say the they downed most of Russia's 17 cruise
2:21:42
missiles and 31 attack drones. Meanwhile, in Russia, a large
2:21:46
explosion was heard overnight in the city of Krantz Nanda dar and
2:21:50
a building was damaged there. The governor of Belgrade is also
2:21:54
reporting shelling he says four homes were damaged. There were
2:21:56
no casualties reported so far from now. Let's
2:21:59
Adam Curry: thanks, Poppy. Thanks. We know absolutely
2:22:02
nothing. We've never heard of these new places. Completely
2:22:05
moving.
2:22:06
John C Dvorak: Right. We don't know anything. We
2:22:07
Adam Curry: know anything about this. Thanks, Poppy. Yeah, it's
2:22:10
just like a we got an update on Ukraine for today. Yeah, both. I
2:22:14
got some things over here and some drone shoot. Yeah, right.
2:22:18
Put it up there. Put it in the music
2:22:25
I think that Newland a bit is up with her. Yeah, no. Well, when
2:22:31
she's not there, then something's up. And when she's
2:22:34
saying hey, whenever however this ends, don't worry about it.
2:22:39
You know, we'll get you some good pay and tech jobs get back
2:22:43
bought jobs back better was something is that maybe a build
2:22:46
back better thing? No, no? Well, because he's kept saying back.
2:22:54
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, let's go to some more weirdness around
2:22:57
the world to start with this new Taiwan weirdness. Listen to
2:23:00
this.
2:23:01
Unknown: Take some very sad news.
2:23:04
When might Beijing invade Taiwan? Admiral John Aquilino
2:23:09
oversees the United States Indo Pacific Command,
2:23:12
Adam Curry: can we please get the schedule? Should we know
2:23:13
when to ship our resources our cameraman over to Taiwan?
2:23:17
Unknown: Here's what he had to say about it.
2:23:20
What I can tell you is the Secretary and the President have
2:23:23
tasked me with two missions. The first is to prevent this
2:23:27
conflict. And then the second one is if I fail at Mission,
2:23:30
one, to be ready and prepared to fight and when he added that no
2:23:34
matter when it happens. The United States military is man
2:23:39
trained, equipped postured and ready to execute both of those
2:23:43
missions.
2:23:44
speaking on a panel on Tuesdays. Aquilino also stressed the
2:23:47
importance of communicating in order to avoid miscalculations.
2:23:52
But so far, it's been hard to reach the Chinese side.
2:23:55
So there's a there's a technical connection via the defense
2:23:59
telephone line that could be used. Now that said, if there
2:24:05
were an event, I can tell you, I would pick up the phone and dial
2:24:08
it. Anybody else are on the other side?
2:24:12
Adam Curry: What kind of gear are we working with? What? What
2:24:16
happened to touch tone at minimum? Don't you have a speed
2:24:19
dial? Now that said to me, they still want to conjure up those
2:24:24
images of a red telephone with a hook or a cradle. Wish them
2:24:32
both?
2:24:34
Unknown: If there were an event, I can tell you I would pick up
2:24:36
the phone and dial it. I'm not sure anybody would answer it on
2:24:40
the other side, adding he's
2:24:41
repeatedly asked to speak with his Chinese counterparts
2:24:44
something Beijing hasn't approved. The Pentagon says it's
2:24:48
sending out an offer to talk but the Chinese regime isn't biting.
2:24:52
The update comes from Eli Ratner, the Assistant Secretary
2:24:55
of Defense for the Indo Pacific security affairs, he says the
2:24:58
Chinese Communist Party or Where CCP has rejected or failed to
2:25:02
answer numerous requests for meetings with the US. That's
2:25:06
including talks with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, several
2:25:09
regional commanders and civilian Department of Defense employees,
2:25:13
Ratner saying, quote, we've had a lot of difficulty. I think
2:25:17
that, frankly, the ball is in their court at this point. The
2:25:21
official also pointed out that keeping open lines of
2:25:24
communication is critical to peace and stability. And beyond
2:25:28
that necessary to prevent a catastrophic miscommunication,
2:25:32
and possibly war over Taiwan.
2:25:35
Adam Curry: That sounds like they're not really all up to
2:25:38
speed on their phone, etiquette and technology
2:25:41
John C Dvorak: out there. This is just a kind of a small
2:25:44
indicator we're trying to, we don't know how to do it, because
2:25:47
the Chinese won't even take our calls apparently, to go to
2:25:50
China. And come on if you're going to do this Taiwan thing.
2:25:53
Let's do it now.
2:25:54
Adam Curry: Yeah, we're ready. Ready to go. We're ready that
2:25:58
we've positioned everybody with a camera on they've got boots on
2:26:01
the ground,
2:26:02
John C Dvorak: guys, and we got Phil Murray's in the
2:26:04
Philippines, we get we're ready to do it. Let's do it now. Like
2:26:07
they you know, manage this sucker the Ukrainians into
2:26:11
getting themselves into dirt hitting the wringer with Russia.
2:26:14
Good point, that
2:26:15
Adam Curry: good point. I see you got a clip on this story. So
2:26:18
I'll play the setup for you.
2:26:20
Unknown: Let me ask you all about prioritization. Right. I
2:26:23
know Treasury has said it's not feasible to prioritize payments
2:26:27
in the case of a default. But what we learned from reporting
2:26:29
after 2011, is it in fact, Treasury and the Fed did have
2:26:33
contingency plans, you guys, you weren't there then but put
2:26:36
together a plan to say here's how we're going to pay you
2:26:39
advise agencies about what was going to happen in the case of
2:26:42
default. I'm just wondering if you are giving guidance to
2:26:44
agencies now, if we're to default, who gets paid first?
2:26:50
So I was in government in 2011. I served at the Treasury
2:26:53
Department for about 10 years now. Are
2:26:55
Adam Curry: you in the room? Why was surfen? Hey, man, I was
2:26:59
there, man. I was I was
2:27:02
John C Dvorak: go to the meetings.
2:27:05
Unknown: So I was in government in 2011. I've served at the
2:27:08
Treasury Department for about 10 years now.
2:27:10
Are you in the room for those negotiations? That's what I was
2:27:13
referring to. negotiations. But
2:27:15
Adam Curry: what else admit you screwed up? You dummy,
2:27:17
Unknown: I can tell you is that as the as the deputy secretary,
2:27:20
I'm the Chief Operating Officer of the department. And I'm in
2:27:23
charge of making sure that we're able to make payments taken
2:27:26
money. And one thing that I think you know, well is that for
2:27:29
example, the IRS who brings in 95% of our payments, their
2:27:33
computer systems are operating on cobalt.
2:27:35
Adam Curry: Oh, it's cobalt. Cobalt. This guy I pay Max Berg
2:27:44
John C Dvorak: Wow. Okay clip for the day for that.
2:27:48
Adam Curry: I remember putting this together. I'm like, Oh,
2:27:51
this is this is definitely Hey, man, like I've been
2:27:57
Unknown: reading on cobalt. I've been
2:27:59
Adam Curry: in this business for 10 years, man. It's the IRS uses
2:28:03
cobalt baby arrest
2:28:05
Unknown: who brings in 95% of our payments. Their computer
2:28:08
systems are operating on cobalt.
2:28:11
John C Dvorak: Brother. This is our government. So stones
2:28:17
surfer.
2:28:19
Adam Curry: I think we should point out for those who are
2:28:21
wondering why do we think this is so hilarious? It's COBOL ce o
2:28:24
p o l cobalt Cobalt is what do you cook with cobalt? Is cobalt
2:28:29
a rock is
2:28:30
John C Dvorak: it a malt isn't it as a as a as an element on
2:28:33
the on the on the scale are used in battery technology. Cold
2:28:37
balls
2:28:38
Unknown: who brings in 95% of our payments, their computer
2:28:41
systems are operating on cobalt, a language is no longer taught
2:28:45
they were built before we had the personal computer before we
2:28:48
had the ATM machine. And because we've under invested in places
2:28:51
like the IRS and our payment system, we're not in a position
2:28:54
where we can make sure that we can make some of our payments,
2:28:56
not all of our payments. The systems are built to make all of
2:28:59
our payments. And the idea of us prioritization is truly default
2:29:03
by another name.
2:29:05
Adam Curry: What this guy's stoned you know what he's
2:29:08
totally wasted. You just know what he's talking about. Oh,
2:29:14
although
2:29:14
John C Dvorak: exit by have is that the default is it's a fake.
2:29:17
It's a fraud. I have a clip that says it's over.
2:29:20
Adam Curry: Yeah. Which Oh, here it is. I got it.
2:29:23
Unknown: How speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a new
2:29:25
spending agreement reached with President Biden to lift the debt
2:29:29
ceiling after weeks of negotiations and peers. Claudia
2:29:32
Gray saw this report is expected to vote on this bill on
2:29:36
Wednesday.
2:29:37
Speaker McCarthy said he spoke with President Biden twice in
2:29:41
the final day of tense negotiations to reach an
2:29:44
agreement in principle
2:29:46
after weeks of negotiations. We have come to an agreement in
2:29:50
principle. We still have a lot of work to do. But I believe
2:29:54
this is an agreement in principle that's worthy of the
2:29:56
American people.
2:29:56
McCarthy was briefing his conference on the deals plan And
2:30:00
Saturday evening in hopes to release text of the legislation
2:30:03
on Sunday aiming for a vote three days later, McCarthy said
2:30:07
the deal has reductions in spending and reforms to lift
2:30:11
people out of poverty
2:30:13
into the workforce.
2:30:15
John C Dvorak: Alright, so this is not over. We know a ship, by
2:30:18
the way. Shannon Bream had McCarthy on the show this
2:30:21
morning her show this morning on Fox us, and she is giving him
2:30:26
crap. But this has gotten democratic crummy. And he made
2:30:30
an interesting point. As a defensive kind of posture, he
2:30:34
says the 8000 new IRS guys armed to the 80,080 30,000 I'm sorry,
2:30:42
the 80,000. That's done. That's gone.
2:30:46
Adam Curry: 20 means done. It's not in there.
2:30:48
John C Dvorak: It gets pulled. They're not going to get the
2:30:50
80,000 IRS guys.
2:30:52
Adam Curry: Well, ma'am. What are they going to do with no
2:30:55
guys and cobalt? By the way, we should point out that we have
2:31:01
great respect for COBOL programmers COBOL runs most of
2:31:05
the big systems still
2:31:06
John C Dvorak: in the world. One of the best programming
2:31:08
languages ever including it
2:31:10
Adam Curry: this is as 400 machines is mainframe. This is
2:31:14
your airlines still runs on it the airline systems and COBOL
2:31:18
works. In fact, you know, they can't transition
2:31:22
John C Dvorak: or still teach it in some places. Well, we
2:31:25
Adam Curry: have a lot of dudes named Ben. I mean, it's named
2:31:28
Ben, who still speak to Cobalts. Remember during the during the
2:31:35
steamy checks they need they needed and that's it. They said
2:31:38
it then to those morons, they were talking about memory. We
2:31:40
were laughing about it. Let me see there must be more cobalt.
2:31:45
Cobalt, maybe not. I remember there was more COBOL type? gasps
2:31:50
Yeah, this is New Jersey,
2:31:51
Unknown: it Secondly, in our list of volunteers today, not
2:31:54
only do we need health care workers, but given the legacy
2:31:56
systems we should add a page for cobalt?
2:32:01
Wow.
2:32:04
Computer skills, because that's what we're dealing with. In
2:32:08
these legacies, Chris Ryan's doing a heck of a job. But
2:32:12
literally, we have systems that are 40 plus years old. And
2:32:19
there'll be there'll be lots of post mortems. And one of them on
2:32:21
our list will be how the heck did we get here? When we
2:32:24
literally needed COBOL programmers.
2:32:28
Adam Curry: These people should not be in positions of
2:32:31
authority. If you can't, if you can't even take the time to
2:32:36
figure out what the most pressing issue is and call it by
2:32:39
its correct name. You don't belong in that position.
2:32:43
John C Dvorak: But I had to say yes,
2:32:45
Adam Curry: yeah. Anyway, so we have respect for COBOL. And for
2:32:47
the people who program and of course, we were not idiots. We
2:32:50
know what it
2:32:50
John C Dvorak: is to sell a version of COBOL when I rented a
2:32:53
software company to direct mail software company, a version of
2:32:57
it like a like NPS. It was came from the Naval Academy was a
2:33:01
fork. No, you could call it a fork. It was just a bit worked.
2:33:06
Yeah, no, it was designed for microcomputers.
2:33:09
Adam Curry: Oh, interesting. You're always interesting.
2:33:12
Jhansi Dvorak.
2:33:13
John C Dvorak: Hi, guys. Okay.
2:33:16
Unknown: I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda.
2:33:19
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be
2:33:21
fun.
2:33:29
John C Dvorak: And we start off with some people to thank Sure.
2:33:33
vont servant in Arlington. Washington is actually a
2:33:37
switcheroo birthday donation from a human resource. Isaiah,
2:33:42
celebrating his 12 trip around the sun. He's going to be
2:33:45
mentioned on the list of birthdays. But anyway, that's
2:33:50
the switcheroo. North Georgia Meetup is also technically a
2:33:53
switcheroo from coming Georgia. This is the credit goes through
2:33:57
the SIR off the grid Lodge. A great night in my opinion. $100
2:34:05
It was 120 from servant David keys in Riverside, California.
2:34:08
It comes with 100 Day black Dame loca in Smithville, Texas. $100
2:34:16
Adam Curry: And she says thank you to and Darren oh two I'd
2:34:19
like to change my title to black Dame loca the bareness of borrow
2:34:23
silicate to how I pronounce it Bora silicate. Probably Probably
2:34:28
not.
2:34:29
John C Dvorak: So she's on the list. J Charles Gerlach in
2:34:31
Downey, California hundreds for Magewell and New York City on
2:34:35
adores me eggs. Makes fat dad BMX in North Little Rock,
2:34:40

2:34:48
here she is. Kevin McLaughlin and Lucas North Carolina doesn't
2:34:53
fool around 808 For boobs, to Tony Hoffer in Maplewood,
2:34:57
Minnesota, 808 for boobs He says it's been about a year I haven't
2:35:01
eaten bugs. Gary Blatt, Wayne, Pennsylvania 7777. Sir, hold my
2:35:07
beer in Austin, Texas, orca donation 6666. Now, in the
2:35:14
newsletter I discussed the situation with the orcas, the
2:35:19
orcas, and now are you. I should stop here and then at least talk
2:35:23
about this for a second. So the orcas in the near end around
2:35:28
Gibraltar, are sinking yachts. I love this story, because it
2:35:33
seems as if there's a link to the story in the newsletter, it
2:35:37
seems as though this one Orca, who they've named Gladys, which
2:35:41
maybe there isn't she's earth. No kidding. Because you know, an
2:35:45
orcas name is never going to be Gladys. It's going to be more
2:35:47
like something like something like that. And understandable.
2:35:53
And so Gladys has gotten bumped, it seems by a passing yacht, got
2:35:59
pissed off and sank. It has she's been teaching other orcas
2:36:03
how to sink yachts in the Mediterranean and orcas. Tribes
2:36:08
are about, they call them I forget that called. But they're
2:36:11
groups of orcas or groups about 40. So they're gonna have 40 of
2:36:15
these guys, and they're not smaller. This by the way, can be
2:36:18
up to 33 feet long and weigh 10 tons nice. They used to be an
2:36:26
orca at the redwood cities version of Africa, USA. I think
2:36:32
it was the biggest one ever in captivity and I got to see it
2:36:34
once and anyone who ever saw this thing. It had to just
2:36:38
you'll never forget it. It was the size. It was the size of the
2:36:42
pool. And it was probably I think it was over 33 feeders
2:36:47
like is like this thing would come out of the water. It looked
2:36:49
like a truck trailer tractor coming out of the water and then
2:36:52
splashed down and soak the entire audience. Not just a
2:36:56
front row wasn't a thing. He got a kick out of doing this
2:36:59
Adam Curry: wasn't an orca that killed a couple people in the
2:37:02
hood, right? It's one
2:37:03
John C Dvorak: orca you got pisted a trainer and dry dragged
2:37:05
are under orcas are extremely intelligent. And they they got
2:37:13
rid of this orca and sent them out to sea as some sort of a
2:37:16
goodwill gesture. Hey, if you got a 10 ton animal that you
2:37:22
have to feed Yeah, you're not getting you're getting rid of
2:37:26
him for some other reason like your brain is breaking the
2:37:29
banks. So they got rid of this thing. So these orcas are
2:37:34
nowadays you had to be if you got a small yacht, anything
2:37:37
under like 50 feet, you're gonna get in trouble if you're around
2:37:40
these things. Anyway, so crazy story is developing glow. Anwar,

2:51:28
got something there okay, well do you want to wait?
2:51:37
John C Dvorak: I gotta come I gotta go left over here that
2:51:39
might be worth this is kind of the annoying story of the week.
2:51:42
I found this to be a somewhat upsetting that NPR NPR would
2:51:47
develop the story and then they do an add on at the end. So this
2:51:51
is this is a noodle girl.
2:51:53
Adam Curry: No. Noodle girl we love to have everything
2:51:58
John C Dvorak: her way because that's all it counts. Yeah, of
2:52:00
course. And this is called the weird graduation story. Weird
2:52:04
graduation stories
2:52:05
Unknown: senior in the small town of parachute Colorado
2:52:08
walrus stole to graduation today with the Mexican and American
2:52:12
flags on it. Even though the school district for baited
2:52:16
Alexander has more.
2:52:18
Naomi Pena via Sano filed the lawsuit against the Garfield 16
2:52:22
School District on Wednesday. After she was repeatedly told
2:52:26
she could not wear the stole to her graduation ceremony. The
2:52:29
judge ruled against her saying that any expression is subject
2:52:32
to the school's discretion because graduation is a school
2:52:35
sponsored event. Despite the ruling she wore the stole
2:52:38
received her diploma. And no one stopped her
2:52:41
so I'm not gonna lie. I was super nervous about what
2:52:44
everyone's reaction would be. But just like my senior call,
2:52:47
always stand up for what you believe in. I feel like that
2:52:50
just overpowers everything.
2:52:51
The Asana would not comment on whether she would seek further
2:52:54
legal action on the matter.
2:52:57
John C Dvorak: Why would she seek further legal action?
2:52:59
Adam Curry: What was the whole problem with the stole to begin
2:53:01
with?
2:53:02
John C Dvorak: They didn't want it it was one of those schools
2:53:04
No, you're wearing I was wearing the same thing. Okay.
2:53:07
Adam Curry: Yeah, that makes sense where the same thing Shut
2:53:09
up. Where are
2:53:09
John C Dvorak: you wearing the stole? No, you can't wear it.
2:53:11
And the judge said Yeah, you can't wear it. And so that's
2:53:13
that because it's a school event. Now. I mean, there are
2:53:16
some schools the i We don't care what you do, I went to an
2:53:18
evergreen college graduation to my son when my son graduated,
2:53:23
and at least one out of 10 people that were dressed as
2:53:25
furries
2:53:28
Adam Curry: But enough about honestly not enough about your
2:53:30
son
2:53:32
John C Dvorak: normal and but there was a bunch of furries
2:53:35
there and they all thought that was great Yeah, but this school
2:53:38
and so so now they're saying leap more legal act for what
2:53:41
legal action for
2:53:42
Adam Curry: what I'm taking legal action.
2:53:45
John C Dvorak: So this kind of noodle Girl Yeah, who probably
2:53:49
is someone you find out who it is. Don't hire her ever.
2:53:53
Adam Curry: I have one last one here. Very, very short. I'll cut
2:53:57
it off short. There's a new YouTube channel I've been
2:54:00
alerted to called the United Nations Office for disaster risk
2:54:04
reduction.
2:54:06
John C Dvorak: Oh, that must be entertaining.
2:54:10
Adam Curry: Disasters a sexist. I think that's all you need to
2:54:13
hear. Disasters are sexist. There you go. Everybody. That's
2:54:18
it. All you need to know. They're sexist, even disasters.
2:54:26
John C Dvorak: Everything is I'm surprised it's not racist. Oh,
2:54:29

2:54:29
