Adam Curry: sandbagging sabotaging and broadcasting live
0:17
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Number 16. In the
0:20
morning, everybody, I'm Adam curry
0:22
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley where I found out
0:24
that the Serbians are giants. I'm John C. Dvorak.
0:32
Adam Curry: Really, the Serbians are giants. Tell them do tell
0:38
John C Dvorak: it well. They hit the NBA Finals.
0:43
Adam Curry: Oh, that dude, that one dude wants his name tour.
0:46
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what I thought. I said that one big
0:48
guys a big treat seven foot tall. 285 pound dude, center
0:54
dude, dude, for the Denver team, and he's really unbelievably
1:00
talented. And so I didn't think much about it until I was
1:04
watching one of those trains cruising on the trains, shows.
1:09
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, what is cruising on the train show?
1:13
John C Dvorak: There's all these different train shows, you know,
1:15
travels on trains, and this bunch of them. They're on. A lot
1:19
of them on broadcast TV. A lot of them are on the
1:22
Adam Curry: way. This is f f TV fomer TV.
1:27
Unknown: Oh my god.
1:31
John C Dvorak: Come on. As a matter of fact, it is. And so
1:36
I'm watching this one where they're taking a train right
1:38
under old train from basically through Serbia down to
1:45
Montenegro. And while they were in Serbia, the guy brings up the
1:50
fact you know the Serbs are notorious for being big. Here's
1:53
one of them. And there's a seven foot guy. Wow. And they go on
1:58
about oh yes. We're very big people. And so then then to
2:04
continue the story to make it even more interesting to me.
2:09
weird way to tie this show together. It's alright I have
2:11
these clips.
2:12
Adam Curry: Oh, well now this is exciting. You've got
2:15
John C Dvorak: a nice what's going on in Serbia? Yeah, there
2:18
is a lot going on in Serbia. There's a lot going on in in
2:21
within there. There may be some reason within these three clips
2:25
that is the high no kinetic purpose of the tall giant people
2:30
in Serbia
2:31
Adam Curry: know the whole conflict is Bosnia is pissed off
2:33
that Serbia has got all the Giants.
2:36
John C Dvorak: Well, they that's never mentioned. But there is
2:38
this there is a couple of funny things in these clips this
2:40
Serbia anti government protests.
2:42
Unknown: 10s of 1000s of people have joined another anti
2:45
government protest in Serbia's capital Belgrade. The
2:49
demonstrations have become a weekly event since 18 people
2:53
were killed in two mass shootings last month. Protesters
2:57
are blaming government policies for promoting violence in the
3:00
media, and are demanding the resignation of ministers or
3:04
inverse which has more from Belgrade.
3:08
It's been one month since the mass shooting in Belgrade's
3:10
Ladislav Ribnica Elementary School. This is the fifth
3:13
protest called Serbia against violence. On May the third the
3:17
13 year old boys shot dead 10 People nine pupils of his school
3:22
and a security guard. Only one day after a 20 year old man shot
3:26
eight people in two villages south of Belgrade. In both
3:29
attacks, many were injured. The protest walk in Belgrade started
3:33
after speeches were given on the stage in front of National
3:36
Assembly. Protesters repeated they want Minister of Interior
3:39
Affairs and the chief of intelligence agency to resign
3:43
they also won the regulatory body for electronic media to cut
3:46
the concession rights for happy TV and think television
3:49
terrestrial broadcast because they say it's their program that
3:52
promotes violence and hate speech.
3:55
Adam Curry: Wow, this is really interesting and I didn't clip it
3:57
I'm glad you got it because I only the only clip I got was
4:01
about they want violence off television but now you have the
4:04
actual the actual TV channels in this clip but it's worth
4:08
mentioning this Serbia Bosnia had this whole thing has been
4:12
heating up we've been tracking it it started with the with the
4:16
with the mass shootings. I mean, Serbia and Bosnia. They're on
4:20
deck now with this stuff. This is this is interesting.
4:24
John C Dvorak: What what's interesting about these clips is
4:26
it doesn't bring into issue with Bosnia.
4:28
Adam Curry: No, even though there's well it's 700. Troops.
4:34
John C Dvorak: There's two things going on. One are these
4:36
protests in Serbia, mostly in Belgrade massive protests. about
4:42
violence. Yeah. Which again, brings us to this stories about
4:46
violence it I guess resolving problems with violence was
4:50
always a major way of doing things in Serbia. Hence the tall
4:55
big guys.
4:57
Adam Curry: You know, you should be the spoke Sman four fomer TV
5:03
for more big guy hi hi um I want my foamer TV Oh my F TV.
5:08
John C Dvorak: So the other action which is into in Bosnia
5:13
which is and has to do with the elections is not this this is
5:16
different. And this is kind of interesting because this is a
5:18
big reported on it all we it's because
5:21
Adam Curry: I guess zero knows nothing nothing in fact we'd
5:25
like some of their happy TV stuff to be broadcast over here
5:28
we don't have any of this violence on television people
5:30
giving
5:30
Unknown: speeches on today stage where actors high school
5:34
students, comedians and satirical TV hosts. They said
5:39
that those unpowered the government should assume its
5:41
responsibility for the mass shootings. They emphasize all
5:45
Serbian children should walk freely to schools and return to
5:49
their home safely, as well as those in Kosovo with dignity. We
5:53
should fight for freedom of our society. That is what we owe to
5:57
the people who lost their lives in tragic shooting. They said my
6:01
invention which Al Jazeera Belgrade,
6:05
Serbia as government has declared a one month amnesty for
6:08
people to hand in guns 40,000 firearms have been given up. But
6:13
as Bernard Smith now reports from Belgrade, protesters say
6:16
the government needs to do much more to tackle a culture of
6:20
violence
6:21
conservatives version of Big Brother, a daily diet of fights
6:24
and punch UPS helps make this one of the country's top rated
6:27
TV shows. In parliament when debate doesn't work, fists can
6:34
fly.
6:36
There is a huge problem in Serbia with violence being
6:39
accepted as methods to resolve disputes. That's the problem
6:44
is a lawyer for a group that helps women affected by
6:46
violence. 41% of Serbs think domestic abuse is the top issue,
6:51
women face here, the highest rate in Europe.
6:54
And this is something that even not even children in
6:57
kindergarten are being taught to resolve disputes in other
7:01
alternative measures. And so the TV and what is happening in our
7:07
National Assembly, and the messages know, whoever uses
7:11
violence, he will be the one who who is beginning to dispute and
7:15
will be you know, the winner. And that's the wrong message
7:18
being sent all over again.
7:20
Adam Curry: Wow. So not only are they giants, but they're giant
7:23
dicks. This is crazy.
7:26
John C Dvorak: And in fact that the number one TV show, which
7:28
was that big brother equivalent is, for all practical purposes.
7:32
Just a version of bumfights, you know, where you get people just
7:36
to punch each other. It's just a violent show. You don't have
7:41
quite bummed out, you know, the bum fight phenomenon that we had
7:44
for a while.
7:45
Adam Curry: Yeah, but but they're not calling for guns to
7:50
be taken away, are they? Yeah, they are. Ha ha.
7:57
John C Dvorak: So I don't even know this seems to be well, in
8:00
part three, resolve a couple of these issues.
8:04
Unknown: In early May eight children and a guard was shot
8:06
dead at a school in Belgrade. The suspect is 13 years old.
8:11
Prosecutors allege the boy's father took him to target
8:13
practice and didn't properly secure weapons. The next day, a
8:17
20 year old man killed eight people in a village outside the
8:20
capitol. Since then, 1000s of people have protested weekly in
8:25
Belgrade, accusing the government of encouraging a
8:27
culture of violence in society.
8:30
The problem of violence in Serbia is bigger than then
8:36
weapons, they're in possession of citizens. That's why the
8:40
citizens asked for other regulations may be tightening
8:45
gun control legislation and fundamental and reforms in
8:52
education and other spheres the
8:54
service President Alexander Bucha, which has pledged to
8:57
practically disarm his country, more than 40,000 weapons and 2
9:01
million rounds of ammunition have so far been handed in
9:05
during a government amnesty. But there are more than 750,000
9:09
registered weapons here and officials estimate perhaps a
9:13
similar number unlicensed, it could take years for the state
9:16
to disarm its citizens and they'd have to be willing
9:19
partners in the effort.
9:21
Adam Curry: Okay, this is a sophisticated cya. This is very
9:24
good, because they're also calling for the removal of
9:27
violent television stations. But it's really about disarming the
9:31
country that this isn't an American Democrat Party tactic.
9:38
John C Dvorak: Well, they got they got their attention.
9:40
Adam Curry: And this is super interesting to me because
9:44
American political tactics and tat takedowns are now being
9:49
performed all over Europe. So not just get rid of their guns
9:53
so Serbia will be completely vulnerable to whatever is next
9:57
thing is there. 700 NATO troops there. For whatever reason, but
10:04
something we learned about in the last show. Remember, your
10:09
buddy there from Ireland? She was moaning about Russian
10:13
Russian interference. Claire. Right, Claire Daly? Well, now
10:18
nearly now we know what that was about. And man, it's just, it's
10:22
just an American script to speak to our international affairs
10:25
commentator, Douglas Herbert. Hello
10:26
Unknown: to Doug. Several French media seeing some excerpts of
10:29
this report is not published yet. But what have we learned so
10:32
far? What we've
10:33
learned is that the report essentially exposes based on the
10:37
interviews with dozens of people that you mentioned, exposes ties
10:42
and collusion. Really, let's use the word collusion between
10:44
France as far right national rally party, the Russia, the
10:48
Russia, Vladimir Putin, and we're only looking at now All
10:51
right, this was a parliamentary commission set up ironically set
10:56
up at the request of Marine LePen spa right national rally
11:00
party, because it wanted to lay to rest once and for all, the
11:05
never ending accusations that her party and she specifically
11:09
that has been way too chummy.
11:12
John C Dvorak: This is that nebbish on France 24
11:15
Adam Curry: nebbish is a good word for him. Yeah. Douchebag
11:18
dog, the bald guy, any collusion guy.
11:21
Unknown: I love those with Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin's
11:25
line has worked.
11:26
Adam Curry: What's up with that pronunciation? Vladimir Putin.
11:30
Have you been in France too long, Doug.
11:32
Unknown: Vladimir Putin has told Vladimir Putin's line has
11:35
represented essentially essentially the interests of
11:38
Vladimir Putin and it's conveyed his message very effectively
11:41
here in France the Kremlin propaganda message. So that's
11:45
what it was really meant to do. I boomerang it really backfired.
11:49
fiasco in her own face,
11:52
Adam Curry: a fiasco in her own face. Wow.
11:55
Unknown: It's a fiasco.
11:57
John C Dvorak: fiasco off your face, baby.
12:01
Adam Curry: I already right now to take that fiasco off your
12:03
face. It's disgusting. can't look at it. This is This is
12:07
crazy. I love saying that. That's what all the millennials
12:11
are now saying the new 100% Is this is crazy. I haven't heard
12:15
it. I just launched it. He has no real Marine LePen far right
12:21
colluding with Russia. She's propagandizing for Vladimir
12:25
Putin
12:26
Unknown: is an idol apparently claiming that the report is
12:29
politically motivated. So avoid that
12:32
emerge. The half of this report is a reflection of the
12:36
rapporteur sectarian, dishonest and totally politicized. reality
12:44
of this report is that there is nothing. This report is exactly
12:47
the same in terms of its conclusions as the four hours of
12:51
hearings I was able to do under oath. In other words, the people
12:55
who have accused us have no basis in fact, they didn't know.
13:02
Adam Curry: This is their version of the Mueller report.
13:06
No Russian collusion isn't dodgy. Does anyone else not see
13:10
this? This is pathetic.
13:12
John C Dvorak: is the best word for it. I say Come on, people
13:17
come up with something more creative.
13:20
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, we need to discuss this tumble The White
13:24
Unknown: House says President Biden is fine. After he took a
13:27
fall on stage at the US Air Force Academy graduation
13:31
ceremony in Colorado. Biden had delivered the commencement
13:34
address and shook hands with graduates when he appeared to
13:37
have tripped on a black sandbag on the stage. Biden got back up
13:42
and jokes he got sandbag.
13:44
Adam Curry: Now, I went and Larry
13:47
John C Dvorak: legs because
13:49
Adam Curry: it's actually here's an ABC report where he yells at
13:52
our
13:52
Unknown: White House says President Biden is fine after he
13:54
tripped over a sandbag at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado.
13:58
The President returned to Washington greeted by a horde of
14:00
reporters horn wanting to know what happened. And his
14:03
explanation was quite simple. The President was walking a bit
14:10
stiffly but his doctors say that's because he has a spinal
14:13
arthritis.
14:16
Adam Curry: So I looked up I look for a picture.
14:18
John C Dvorak: Spinal I have a new nude. unnoticed spinal
14:22
arthritis
14:23
Adam Curry: doesn't sound good actually. Spinal arthritis know
14:29
nothing about it. But I do know something about staging. This
14:33
sandbag was placed as sabotage. There's no reason I'm looking at
14:39
the stage. There's a black sandbag you know one of those
14:41
sandbags that you put on on his black so you can see it up on a
14:46
black stage and it's an it's a black it's one of those that you
14:48
put over your nightstand so it doesn't fall over. Yeah, so
14:52
yeah, I know what they're for. So we'll call them sandbags. But
14:54
you know, just so people don't who aren't in the bay. They are
14:57
sandbags. People who like you and me who know people aren't in
14:59
the biz. So I cost in the bids, the bids in the bid. And it was
15:04
nice not holding any trades. I've been reading the trades
15:07
myself. It's not holding anything down. It's just there.
15:11
It's not on top of anything. It's not not even holding down.
15:15
Like like a, you know, a skirt for a table. It's just the black
15:21
sandbag on the black stage. This was sabotage.
15:26
John C Dvorak: You know, I can accept that. And there's
15:28
something that that I stood in my mind when he came around to
15:34
walk off and it hit the sandbag. There was a soldier a marine
15:39
that was saluting and he was saluting toward the audience.
15:42
And he like, I guess He saluted toward Biden flipped around and
15:45
then he went off toward the audience walked toward the
15:48
camera, and I looked at him. And it was like, when Biden went
15:53
down, he didn't look back. It was right within, you know, it
15:58
would he would have you would have looked back or something
16:01
and he had a funny smirk on his face.
16:04
Adam Curry: That's the guy. And
16:06
John C Dvorak: you know, it's cadets or he knew about it.
16:08
Adam Curry: You know, this is graduation. So what funnier than
16:11
when you're graduating from a military academy? My Hey, man, I
16:17
got an idea as to the will be legends. I think sandbag gate is
16:22
appropriate. I think there should be a parliamentary
16:25
inquiries. Bill. I put the picture of the sandbag did go
16:31
John C Dvorak: down fun in an awkward way. And then I liked
16:34
the way the news media strips any guy right up. He didn't he
16:37
did not get right ahead for guys helping him up and he could
16:41
barely get up. He just left him there. I guarantee couldn't get
16:45
up.
16:46
Adam Curry: Did you also notice the soles of his shoes? No, I
16:50
did not. So it's this weird horseshoe like extra soul that's
16:55
on the bottom of it. And lift. It's well, it's a lift, but it's
17:00
a U shape. And someone pointed out an interesting interesting
17:04
thing, which I thought was probably not what's going on but
17:07
I liked it. You know, human Michael Jackson that video where
17:10
he where he kind of leaned over and defies gravity.
17:14
John C Dvorak: Now he leans forward all the way he was one
17:18
of his
17:19
Adam Curry: that was Yeah, six signature moves. Yeah. So that
17:22
was achieved by having shoes with basically a horse shoe type
17:27
heel. And in the in the in the stage itself was a little knob
17:32
and he slide his his shoes onto those knobs and then you can
17:36
just lean forward because the knobs were bolted to the floor
17:39
and he could just back up and be right off of that. I'm wondering
17:44
if maybe the President doesn't have knobs in the stage
17:46
everywhere so that you know when he's feeling
17:48
John C Dvorak: on his ass just standing there so he gets feels
17:51
a little woozy.
17:52
Adam Curry: He can just slip into the knobs. It was just
17:56
John C Dvorak: oh, now you're talking? Well, I'm reminded of
17:59
not this let the newsletter I just sent out but the one before
18:03
that and the other ones that are floating around these memes
18:06
showing Biden's you know his face kind of cut in half with
18:10
two different Biden's Oh, yeah. Well, that's
18:12
Adam Curry: the mask. Everyone knows it's a mask. Where were
18:15
you been? Everyone knows that?
18:16
John C Dvorak: No, there's no I saw them as it was peeling off
18:20
on one of them. They showed like where it was peeling off on him
18:24
and it was too smooth for his normal face. Yeah. And then he
18:27
had the permanent wrinkles in his forehead. There's a lot of
18:30
crazy mind might be dead.
18:34
Adam Curry: Oh, there's a beginning of the show. When we
18:35
got by Mike, I'm with you on that. And we know this match
18:39
technology is outstanding. And it's way beyond what the CIA
18:44
lady showed five years ago. It's
18:48
John C Dvorak: that but she mentioned that the match they
18:51
were talking about and using in the TV show. Mission Impossible.
18:56
Which was I believe the late 60s. Yep. She says those masks
19:01
those CIA masks were in play back then. Yeah. So you can't
19:06
even imagine what technology they have now.
19:12
Adam Curry: I actually can't imagine it and if you look at
19:14
all of these different videos where you see a crease or you
19:18
see Biden from behind scratching the back of his neck and then
19:21
you almost see the rubber kind of read freeform. We're being
19:26
we're being psyops man. It's a scam.
19:29
John C Dvorak: It's a scam Damn. Guy is no Joe Biden
19:34
Adam Curry: knows who he is. Now, finally, I'm very happy to
19:41
report that after two years out here in Fredericksburg, Texas.
19:46
Tina and I are finally we've made ours we've made it in. We
19:50
are now in Hill Country high society.
19:54
John C Dvorak: In either two years, I taught two times flies
19:57
Adam Curry: Yeah, tight times flies. times Time flies. Time
20:02
flies. Kill country high society. That's right.
20:06
John C Dvorak: These are the so you got invited to a party? Yeah
20:09
party, a party from the founders of the German Nazi foreign
20:14
founders of the town.
20:15
Adam Curry: Hey, man, back off pump the brakes on that, bro.
20:19
There's no Nazis here. No not No, no,
20:22
John C Dvorak: no. Deutsch landers I keep
20:26
Adam Curry: looking for some Germans to speak German with no
20:29
one speaks German there's no no people here won't admit to it. I
20:33
keep throwing stuff in. And I couldn't talk and no
20:36
John C Dvorak: one looks around. Don't be tricked by him.
20:39
Adam Curry: Jeremy, now stop that. No, this is this is the
20:43
new bow this these are this hill country cabal baby this is. This
20:48
is the elites, the Hill Country high society. It's the people
20:51
who actually make the country run the salt of the earth. I
20:54
give an example. Like one guy who I talked to bones 11 I hops,
20:59
you know, so and they do quite well. But you know, like,
21:03
John C Dvorak: these are the people who will do the earth
21:04
Yes. 11 I hops. That's what I said. Yeah, but kind of your
21:08
definition of salt of the earth.
21:10
Adam Curry: They make it they make it run the salt of the
21:12
this? What do you mean? Get
21:14
John C Dvorak: salt of the earth to me is a guy who's digging a
21:16
ditch you know, for minimum wage. No,
21:18
Adam Curry: no, no. No, he's
21:22
John C Dvorak: the nicest guy had everyone in me. That's the
21:24
salt of the earth. That's Oh, it's a mo you're wrong.
21:27
Adam Curry: No, no, they're not moguls. They're just regular old
21:30
people. Running 11 restaurants.
21:35
John C Dvorak: But Adam yes happens to the best of people.
21:38
You get sucked in. They bring you in your next thing you know,
21:41
you're an elite, local elite. You're oblivious to the reality
21:46
of the of the of the working poor?
21:49
Adam Curry: Well, these are the people who employ the working
21:51
poor because they come from being poor.
21:58
John C Dvorak: And this whole sure this
22:00
Adam Curry: is do you want to report or do you want to mock my
22:02
friends? mugging anybody. This is the women at this party. All
22:07
carry concealed guns. Some of them dipped in the Louis Vuitton
22:10
design. They've got elephant skin boots. This is the party
22:14
they don't drive the F 152. No, it's time to break out the
22:17
bends. And they definitely don't drink Anheuser Busch beer
22:21
anymore. Bill you understand what kind of party this is? Is a
22:25
good party. This is good old boys and girls and I loved it. I
22:30
loved it. And I learned a lot. These by the way. These are
22:34
Trump voters not DeSantis and you know who was there as a part
22:40
of the hill country high society. Are we Santas? No, no.
22:45
Our friend Suzanne Santos remember Suzanne Santos
22:50
John C Dvorak: I don't remember Yes, Santos she she's an
22:53
Adam Curry: actress and singer songwriter. She was on Joe Rogan
22:55
talking about how she must you love No no agenda you should
22:58
know her all she
22:59
John C Dvorak: Oh, was added I keep forgetting her name. I know
23:02
who it is.
23:02
Adam Curry: Suzanne Santos. And she was there by the way five
23:06
months pregnant. Looking good for her. Yes. Looking very Santo
23:12
not Santos I'm sorry. There we go. Now you get to know why is
23:16
it Santos is because DeSantis descent DeSantis got me all
23:20
confused Santo. Sorry, the keeper keeps me on my toes. She
23:26
there. Now she's texting me. She's like my phone is going
23:29
like not channeled while you're doing the show. Tina
23:32
backchannels me all the time. She's my wife. She's the keeper
23:35
she she she's in charge. She's running the whole operation.
23:37
This
23:38
John C Dvorak: story. I don't know why you're stalling.
23:40
Adam Curry: Now she's married to Nick his lotto. Do you know Nick
23:44
You should know Nick his a lotta because we're in the business.
23:46
You read the trades? Haha. See, you haven't been keeping up with
23:51
the trades.
23:52
John C Dvorak: Well, I haven't been keeping up but I haven't
23:54
been chemo with Nick.
23:56
Adam Curry: Nick. Nick is very famous for not just being the
24:01
writer but the creator and the showrunner of the hit HBO
24:05
series. True Detective. You know this show right to Detective?
24:10
John C Dvorak: Yes. With his first season it was dynamite.
24:12
Was he the show runner then? Yes. Yeah, he created what
24:15
happened? No,
24:17
Adam Curry: there's two more seasons came.
24:19
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but the second season was boring by
24:21
comparison. Okay,
24:22
Adam Curry: okay. My friends here. All right. These are my
24:23
friends. Chill out. Okay, I'm just saying brakes pump Dvorak.
24:27
That's the show with the finale broke the internet. At least it
24:33
broke the HBO app. Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson
24:37
starred in anyway, so I got to read he's a writer and so I had
24:42
an opportunity to talk to him about the writer strike.
24:45
John C Dvorak: Ah die there is a point is named dropping that you
24:51
feel obliged. Which is fun, which I accept. I accept because
24:55
now what happened
24:56
Adam Curry: you better you know, after every show, you're always
24:58
like, hey, got any dinner? Coming up with anybody. Oh,
25:01
that's too bad do anything. That's all you're always
25:07
John C Dvorak: throwing it at me cool
25:08
Adam Curry: dinners anything happening? Uh huh. All right.
25:13
So, first of all, it is. So the writer strike. He's a writer. So
25:22
obviously, his projects were on hold. However, it appears there
25:28
is a force majeure clause in the Writers Guild of America
25:32
contracts. This is what we are not aware of. And it's
25:40
confirmed. I have an article here from the New York Times, if
25:43
the strike drags on into July, studios can exit pricey deals
25:49
with writers under force majeure clauses of contracts, which
25:54
means it will actually help the streamers and screw the
26:00
complaining writers. And he will go back to work because you can,
26:06
you cannot, the guilds can't can't stop writers from going
26:10
back to work where they will have to go back on the terms of
26:13
the
26:13
John C Dvorak: like a union busting it's going on here.
26:16
Totally,
26:17
Adam Curry: totally. But it was built into it. He was built and
26:20
John C Dvorak: they got suckered somewhere along the line. Of
26:22
course
26:23
Adam Curry: they did. Of course, they got sourced they
26:25
John C Dvorak: did hell, let's let's get this back up a couple
26:27
of sentences that of course, they did their dumb writers.
26:31
Adam Curry: Well, turns out 97% of the voting members of the
26:35
WGA, you know, maybe wrote a treatment for someone, you know,
26:40
not really, you know, they're not successful writers. Yeah.
26:44
Well, that's
26:44
John C Dvorak: most writers. Yes. Correct.
26:47
Adam Curry: Except for my friend, Nick. Nick guy, that
26:51
guy's a winner. He's a winner. And some more news is married
26:54
John C Dvorak: to a famous pregnant actress
26:57
Adam Curry: who Suzanne Santo dropped the s for extra savings.
27:02
And here's the good news. If that what if it wasn't good news
27:07
already for people who want to write and then people who just
27:10
want to get back to making stuff. The studios are bringing
27:14
in writers to fix the woke scripts. Even Marvel is bringing
27:19
in writers to fix all the woke scripts that are not working,
27:23
not making money. They're afraid to do it now. I think we're
27:27
seeing the end in sight, especially in marbles.
27:31
John C Dvorak: What an optimist. This was what happens when you
27:33
become an elite
27:37
Adam Curry: is a really lovely people. I'm just calling him the
27:39
Hill Country high society. Okay, so now, but you can call them
27:43
whatever you want. Now, as I said, these people are Trump
27:47
people. And I was, you know, I talk to a lot of different
27:50
people. And I think I have figured out what's going on with
27:55
DeSantis. And it's also Elon is involved. Twitter's involve
28:02
Murdoch is involved. And bear with me, because I've tried to
28:06
kind of write this down. Let's see if we can figure out what's
28:09
going on. And it really centers around Elon and Twitter right
28:13
now. So we've been asking ourselves why Where's Tucker? He
28:17
was going to be on Twitter. Wasn't I mean? Why announced
28:20
that Why say very soon? And then why not be on Twitter?
28:24
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you can't do that. It's just not good
28:26
market. It's
28:26
Adam Curry: a mistake. Or is it because Tucker's figured out
28:30
what's going on? And I think it's the latter. So Twitter and
28:34
now wait for it. So Twitter, obviously, you know, we see Elon
28:40
hiring this Yucca Reno character, he needs to get some
28:44
revenue going because he has a big nut. He's got contracts
28:47
until 2025 for AWS and Google for the infrastructure. Twitter
28:51
doesn't own their own gear. That's about $500 million a
28:55
year. Can you imagine what suckers those guys were that's a
28:59
lot of it's a lot of damage. The machines is everything. And but
29:03
at least I had it locked in but it's locked in. You can't you
29:06
can't change anything. So we have to stick with those
29:08
contracts. He's got interest payments. So you know, I think
29:12
by his own admission, they're losing about $100 million a
29:15
month. So he can't really, you know, just be ponying up
29:19
himself. He can't keep going back to people he can't he can't
29:22
take it from his business. He has to do something
29:24
John C Dvorak: he has to do something right. He has to make
29:26
it breakeven at least so we know
29:29
Adam Curry: that Elon is entire res on data which is French for
29:33
the reason he exists is government money. So Tesla
29:39
massive government subsidies subsidies for his for its cut
29:43
for its customers, subsidies for everything he did subsidies for
29:47
EVs, SpaceX, his other big business, NASA contracts, all
29:51
kinds of all government, all government money. Now Twitter,
29:55
which as we know he will turn into x.com It's already know on
30:00
his X x.com. He says that's going to be the biggest
30:03
financial company in the world, the most valuable Teenies
30:06
government to do this, but he's placed his bets on the next
30:11
government. And the next government is going to be if
30:18
it's up to Rupert Murdoch, who Elon was paddling around with in
30:23
get the World Cup, we all saw it. Remember how weird that was?
30:27
He's sitting there with Murdoch in the crowd.
30:30
John C Dvorak: Yeah, neither one of them seemed to be interested
30:32
in silica.
30:33
Adam Curry: No, this is where they were talking about what
30:35
they're going to do. So Ilan is setting up hit and who knows
30:39
what it'll be, you know, but he'll get the easy easy licenses
30:44
for banking or maybe the central bank digital currency or
30:47
whatever, I don't know. But so he's keeping up this appearance
30:50
of being the freeze peach guy, the anti woke guy to give
30:55
credence to Ron DeSantis. And Murdoch enter Murdoch here. He
31:02
wants to control the White House. This is just like
31:04
succession This is Logan. Roy even looks old, decrepit like
31:08
him. So he and his money guys, the hedge funds, Wall Street
31:12
buddies, whatever they are, we know that they're that they
31:15
their big money behind DeSantis. So I think I think that Murdoch
31:26
is so desperate or desperate. So hell bent on controlling the
31:29
White House and making sure it's DeSantis. He sacrifices Tucker,
31:33
he sets up the whole interview with with Ilan and you know, we
31:37
saw it happen you even were for a moment there's like Elon is
31:40
gonna hire I'm gonna pay him millions of dollars. They he was
31:43
on his show. No, that was all a setup. And I'm sure that
31:48
John C Dvorak: Tucker was way, way, way back at what did you
31:51
say? I
31:52
Adam Curry: did you want me to go find the clip? Because I can
31:54
find it for you use? What
31:56
John C Dvorak: was that when I don't care about when I may have
31:59
to but I want you to reiterate again. I didn't. I don't
32:03
remember going crazy about he's going to do some show for a lot
32:06
of money.
32:07
Adam Curry: Yes. You said he's going to Twitter. Elon is going
32:10
to pay him a lot of money. On Twitter. I said no, he's not
32:14
going to and you said yeah, he was on his show. I could look it
32:17
up. But just believe me, doesn't matter. Because you since come
32:21
around as well as what we do. So that's why there's continue.
32:27
So So Murdock brings in Elon into the scheme. He said, hey,
32:31
you know, maybe you can can take Tucker, then you can control
32:34
him. Elon does all the favors gets, gets to sent you know,
32:40
launches the DeSantis campaign, which of course is horrible.
32:45
Elon goes all anti woke in case we haven't noticed. Now, of
32:49
course, if you look at Twitter, anything that's about Trump has
32:54
all these so called Community notes all over it. You know how
32:59
this works. Now with Twitter, you get community notes, like,
33:02
oh, the community disagrees with this. And that is automatically
33:05
gets you less reach, you know, a little bit of shadow banning.
33:09
But for me, it was really this this little bit DeSantis is
33:14
Chief because she wasn't his press secretary. Before she
33:21
became like in charge of do the influencers. Chris Watts had
33:27
Christina push off. PSH Aw. This is a piece of work. You know
33:33
what she was doing before she came to work for DeSantis know
33:38
what she was working for Vladimir Zelensky. In Ukraine,
33:45
this used to ring a bell recruiting influencers in 2021
33:49
for his election, which we know is clearly a scam. These guys
33:56
are the actor. She has a fun.
33:59
John C Dvorak: They have I know where you're going with this.
34:01
They're gonna have to do a lot better job. DeSantis is not
34:05
impressing anybody.
34:08
Adam Curry: No, I know. But you think you will agree with me
34:12
that if you have Fox News run by Democrats, if you have Twitter,
34:17
if you have New York Post, if you have the Wall Street
34:20
Journal, you're going to convince Republicans to vote for
34:23
DeSantis you're going to do a pretty good job. You're gonna
34:26
get quite far. Let's put it that way. If you can contain Trump,
34:29
which seems to be the problem. Now listen, to listen to this
34:33
Cushaw woman 2008 She this is her Wikipedia. She developed an
34:39
interest in Georgia. Georgia, the country. She researched
34:45
Georgia was impressed by the incompetence of then President
34:48
Mikhail Saakashvili The Nut Job who was eating his tie. So she
34:52
moved to Tbilisi, and she worked there. Uh huh. Then she then
34:58
then she worked for you Yulia Tymoshenko former prime minister
35:02
of Ukraine. Then she went to Washington DC to work for Stan
35:07
together a philanthropic organization founded by Charles
35:10
Koch. I mean, come on. I think she had to register as a foreign
35:16
agent. Yes, she did a fairer foreign Agents Registration Act
35:21
in order to continue working. In the US,
35:25
John C Dvorak: obviously a player, yes. But who is she
35:29
really working for? Can we figure that out by her travels?
35:33
Adam Curry: Well, I would say right now she's working for
35:35
Murdoch and the money, guys, of course, it's I mean, what was
35:39
Ukraine about money GM
35:40
John C Dvorak: intelligence agency behind this?
35:42
Adam Curry: Well, that is always in play? And I would say which
35:46
John C Dvorak: would? That's the question. Which one? It's always
35:49
the CIA. That's not always the CIA.
35:52
Adam Curry: Which one? They're the ones in charge of
35:54
everything. When I see Axios reporting that oh, here's a
36:00
scoop. Yeah, I'll bring this story up for you. The scoop? The
36:06
scoop? Is that YouTube?
36:10
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there's a good story. I know
36:13
Adam Curry: that YouTube says, oh, you know, in this next
36:15
election will allow videos about election, election fraud and
36:21
disagreement over the results of the election, which means
36:25
they're setting it up for Biden to lose. That I like this
36:33
theory. Now, there are a couple holes, maybe but not a lot.
36:37
John C Dvorak: Well, the problem you have with the theory is that
36:40
Trump is still Yeah, they're gonna have to do something Yes.
36:43
From well, they tried that was the whole thing. Remember how
36:45
quiet dissident getting nowhere enlisting, actually arrest him?
36:49
Adam Curry: Well, remember how quiet they were when DeSantis
36:52
was how quiet DeSantis was when, when you know, trumping the
36:56
dollar, we're gonna sue them in court, and in New York, he's
36:59
gonna go to jail, that'll be the end of him, and just doesn't
37:03
happen. I fear for him now. They've gotten few options left,
37:07
and Trump is out there. And he's got he's got their number. He
37:10
knows what's going on. He's figured this out. We're a little
37:14
slow. But this is the I think, I think this is fantastic. And at
37:20
least we have a lens to look at stuff through.
37:24
John C Dvorak: So where's Tucker end up? I know, it's an optional
37:29
lens.
37:31
Adam Curry: Well, what are the lens do you have?
37:36
John C Dvorak: I don't have a lens at all. I mean, what is the
37:41
what happens to try to Tucker?
37:45
Adam Curry: He has to go somewhere. But I don't think
37:48
it'd be Twitter. Rumble. Rumble, Rumble then. Yeah, that's the
37:56
telegram. He's going on telegram. That's what I keep
38:00
hearing. Tucker's got a video on telegram
38:02
John C Dvorak: like eight but I don't even you know, I hate to
38:05
say this. But I've never gotten a telegram account and I've
38:09
never used it.
38:10
Adam Curry: I really don't like telegram I have an account
38:13
because a lot of Bitcoin people are on it. And they swear by
38:17
avoid zero swears by telegram.
38:21
John C Dvorak: So why what what's the swear by?
38:23
Adam Curry: I don't know that. It's
38:27
John C Dvorak: Oh, this is the great the greatest what what
38:29
does it do?
38:30
Adam Curry: It's, you know you it's the safest of all places to
38:33
talk, apparently. Because there's no there's zero D
38:37
platforming, which I don't think is true. You can have your own
38:41
channel. It's
38:41
John C Dvorak: free. It's total freeze. Speech. Yeah, it's all
38:45
free
38:45
Adam Curry: speech all the time. But and
38:49
John C Dvorak: what does it forums? Is it like us net? What
38:52
does it look like? Okay,
38:54
Adam Curry: so it looks so it's an app, and it looks kind of
38:58
like a text message app,
39:01
John C Dvorak: like Snapchat?
39:05
Adam Curry: No, like a text message app, you know, so you
39:08
could have Gregg, an SMS phone? Yes, yes. Except you have group
39:12
chats in these group chats. can have 1000s 10s of hundreds of
39:17
1000s of people in there. And they're owned by someone. So you
39:21
know, the owner determined who can talk or, you know, they
39:24
control you can have
39:25
John C Dvorak: a group chat with Tucker. Yeah. And you can stream
39:29
video. Yes, you could. Yes. Yes. And what is the maximum size of
39:34
one of these groups, as you have to remember Tucker had when he
39:37
was on Fox had an audience of, I don't know, up to 3 million
39:41
people. Can you do that on telegram?
39:45
Adam Curry: I would. I wouldn't see why not. Do you'd have to
39:48
limit it'll be too many people to be give them all talk access.
39:52
But yeah, I think you could have all those members. Sure. Sure.
39:56
And so we saw just the other day The Daily wire you know they cut
40:03
a deal with Twitter and I was kind of right about what kind of
40:05
the wire Daily Caller daily wire this is what's his face fast
40:11
talker? Hero Shapiro's plus Yeah. So they cut a deal no
40:14
we're gonna put all our podcasts on Twitter which they had to pay
40:18
for not It's not like twitter saying here's all this money no
40:23
Twitter has no money so they were going to own an upload all
40:26
up which is videos in their case all of our podcasts go on
40:29
Twitter. And then Matt Walsh comes with oh, I'm gonna put my
40:33
what is a woman documentary and I put that with big quotes. I
40:37
actually have a clip about this. Let's play this and I can
40:40
continue the report. Where's it here?
40:43
John C Dvorak: So caught off guard here and
40:48
Adam Curry: pay attention stib stay Oh, here. quitter aihole
40:51
know what is this? Where's Yeah,
40:54
John C Dvorak: Twitter aihole quits.
40:56
Unknown: Twitter's head of trust and safety has resigned from the
40:59
company. Ella Irwin took over the department in November after
41:03
a previous head you'll Roth resigned. She oversaw content
41:06
moderation, or when did not comment on her resignation.
41:09
However, Axios reports the decision followed controversy
41:13
over a video titled What is a woman Twitter staff determined
41:17
it violates rules and didn't allow it. The film focuses on
41:21
gender and transgender issues. Musk called the decision a
41:25
mistake by many people at Twitter and said it's definitely
41:28
allowed. He later tweeted whether or not you agree with
41:31
someone's using preferred pronouns not doing so is at most
41:35
rude and certainly breaks no laws. The entrepreneur added
41:38
that he personally uses people's preferred pronouns simply for
41:42
good manners. However, he says he objects to rude behavior
41:45
cancellation or threats of violence for not using someone's
41:48
preferred pronouns for the same reason.
41:51
Adam Curry: Exactly. So this is now lets you see exactly what's
41:54
going on within Twitter. You have the trust and safety team
41:59
whatever is left to them
42:00
John C Dvorak: I liked the way Axios played a role Oh yeah.
42:03
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. Those guys a trust and safety team that we
42:08
got to keep our eye on them to who owns Axios do they sell that
42:11
to someone Bloomberg another big money outfit?
42:13
John C Dvorak: Who owned Illa ran jobs owns it?
42:16
Adam Curry: She owns X us? Yeah, I
42:18
John C Dvorak: think so. She was
42:19
Adam Curry: owner really? I thought that that was already
42:22
done.
42:23
Unknown: I don't think she's sold it
42:26
Adam Curry: looks like it was sold to Cox Are you sure she's
42:33
John C Dvorak: I don't know. I'll look at I'll look into it
42:35
as you continue your
42:37
Adam Curry: well such so the point is he now you see the
42:39
friction that is happening within Twitter. Where the so the
42:44
way I see it, the plan is we're going to use DeSantis as the
42:50
anti woke guy and we're going to get rid of woke and that's
42:53
actually going to make America better. And everyone's all in
42:57
Disney's in as we just heard like businesses in businesses
43:02
like this is dumb. This is not a smart thing. Meanwhile, the same
43:06
guys who started this woke stuff made money shorting all these
43:10
stocks. And now as we all know, we're gonna get as you even
43:13
said, you know, we're gonna fire the CEOs and be all new blood
43:16
coming in. The new bomb. Oh, good ol boys, Anheuser Busch.
43:20
I'm going to fix this company. You watch that'll happen bring
43:24
bringing woody bringing the Bush the fourth at the same will
43:28
happen with target that guy's completely dispensable that CEO.
43:32
John C Dvorak: They're going to that guy. He's been bounced
43:34
around. He's happy. That's what my theory was. I mentioned it on
43:38
horror was his show. You
43:39
Adam Curry: mentioned it on this show before you even mentioned
43:41
on horror. Yes, I probably did. And by the way idea
43:43
John C Dvorak: is to sync the stock fire that guy stock goes
43:46
up. It's everyone's got a signal. It's not that hard to
43:48
figure out. By the
43:49
Adam Curry: way. It's It's not horrible. It's a show. It's DH
43:52
unplugged to Vortech. Horowitz you even have preference over
43:55
his name. It's the other show you do. Okay. So everyone's made
44:01
a new. Okay, Kara. Everyone's making money on the way down and
44:08
we'll make money on the way up. We're going to bring America
44:11
back. And they're going to control it like they always want
44:15
to who? Who finance Obama who financed? You know, Obama, this
44:21
term of Obama? It's the same people. Yeah. So this is a
44:26
genius move. And meanwhile, of course, the Republicans in
44:30
general, like hair hair. This is great. Go Ronnie. Ron is gonna
44:35
save us and Ronnie not gonna save anything. We're going to be
44:37
still stuck in the same financial prison. We're always
44:40
stuck in. Now, it will probably still be at war. You know, the
44:45
military industrial complex will still do fine. We're just going
44:48
to stop the work and that'll be the end of the war. And then,
44:51
you know, that'll be minimized and you won't hear about it that
44:53
much, man. It's crazy. There you go. It's crazy. When he did it
44:59
again. I know I got it, I can't help myself. I might as well get
45:03
it all up. When you when you hear what Fox News is doing. I
45:07
mean, they are, they're completely going against all
45:11
things conservative. By the way, this DeSantis I agree with the
45:17
policies Florida has done by the way, that's the Florida
45:20
Legislature is not just Governor de San DeSantis. But he doesn't
45:24
even know how to pronounce his own name, the guy is so phony
45:28
Unknown: or dress antas. And according to reporting from
45:31
Axios in the early days of his campaign, DeSantis, and I'm
45:34
sticking to it has gone back and forth between pronouncing his
45:37
name DeSantis and dust Santas. During his first week as a
45:41
candidate. He pronounced his name as DeSantis in his campaign
45:45
announcement video and again during a radio interview. Let's
45:48
watch.
45:49
I'm Ron DeSantis. And I'm running for president to lead
45:53
our great American combat.
45:55
Where can people find you to donate volunteer find out more
45:58
about you
46:00
go to Ron desantis.com.
46:03
But then he goes on Fox News for an interview and all of a
46:06
sudden, he back pedals.
46:08
Anybody that's so inclined to help us. I would love to have
46:11
your support at Ron desantis.com. I'd love for all
46:15
your folks out there invest with us at Ron desantis.com. We'd
46:18
love to have your support. If anyone wants to help out. Just
46:21
go to Ron desantis.com. We wish you all the best desantis.com.
46:26
Mark.
46:28
Adam Curry: That was the Young Turks. So the so
46:32
John C Dvorak: I really, really busted that controversy open.
46:36
Adam Curry: Last The Young Turks. You're not going to hear
46:39
this on Fox because you know, they just have to roll with it.
46:42
Just it's a different topic.
46:46
John C Dvorak: But I just want you to just interrupt you Sure.
46:49
As you can. She there was Atlantic media and her money
46:55
that helped bank roll the early days of Axios. Yes. And I guess
47:00
she's still an investor. But you're right. It was Cox
47:02
enterprises to get from the get go and Jim Vandehei. Hi in Mike
47:08
Allen is Roy Schwartz really the founders and she wasn't
47:12
considered a founder. So I was wrong. And who
47:14
Adam Curry: owns Cox?
47:17
John C Dvorak: Cox Cox is a is a really traditional old privately
47:22
held global conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta.
47:26
proximately 55,000 employees. 21 billion. It's an old founded in
47:31
1898. It's a big publishing company. Yeah. been around
47:36
forever.
47:38
Adam Curry: Well, what side of the do you think they are? They
47:41
play in politics, I can hardly imagine they wouldn't.
47:44
John C Dvorak: Well, since NBC Universal was one of the big
47:47
investors in this Optus, this Axios. Operation. They're very
47:52
It looks very conservative to me.
47:53
Adam Curry: There you go. So that's why I I'm sorry. You mean
47:58
liberal? You meant to say liberal,
47:59
John C Dvorak: I meant to say liberal. They look liberal to
48:02
me. Based on the way I'm seeing come out.
48:07
Adam Curry: Now, I've said for years, Fox News is run by
48:10
Democrats.
48:12
John C Dvorak: I've I've said the same thing. It's not about
48:15
Adam Curry: who said what? We want you on point. Okay. John
48:20
has said for years. Fox News is run by Democrats.
48:25
John C Dvorak: And well, I haven't said as long as you
48:27
have.
48:29
Adam Curry: Here's a prime example. This is a climate
48:32
change topic. But just just so you can understand what's going
48:35
on over there
48:36
Unknown: and on Swartz Nagar is taking on a new role. The action
48:39
store and former California governor is now on a crusade to
48:42
tackle climate change. But first, he said there needs to be
48:45
some rebranding.
48:47
As long as they can talking about global climate change,
48:50
they're not gonna go anywhere. Because no one gives away about
48:54
that. So my thing is, let's go and rephrase this and
49:01
communicate differently about it and ruin tell people, you're
49:04
talking about pollution. Pollution creates climate
49:07
change, and pollution kills.
49:12
Molly, how refreshing to have someone with just a common sense
49:15
approach? He's not Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know,
49:18
the rebranding issue of climate change has been deeply
49:20
politicized now for two decades, and maybe a little bit of
49:23
rebranding could help.
49:24
Adam Curry: Listen to these people. How can they be on board
49:27
with climate change this and particularly, pollution is
49:31
climate change now, pollution cares of when Yeah, so they're
49:36
totally following a political agenda. Then it's not the one
49:40
people used to think they follow, which they didn't follow
49:43
either. So I think this is the big game. I'm going to look at
49:47
it this way. And the problem is Trump they haven't been able to
49:50
put him in jail is his Trump's no good. He's, he's not good in
49:54
this in this scenario. He's not
49:56
John C Dvorak: because he doesn't play this game. No.
49:58
Which, right from Nick Get go. He said he wasn't going to do
50:01
it,
50:02
Adam Curry: which of course makes him funny and makes him
50:04
Trump really good. But not in not in the grant. This is like
50:11
you have violated they hid the rules. What was what was the
50:15
name of that?
50:17
John C Dvorak: network? Network network? Yeah. Yeah. With who
50:21
was the actor, they brought him into the front office and read
50:24
him the riot act about the great rules of the world. Yes. Yes.
50:29
Ned Beatty, Ned Beatty?
50:31
Adam Curry: There you go. You violated the rules. Yeah, that's
50:36
exactly what's going on here. Because these are the people who
50:39
run the world, or at least are American part of it. And they're
50:44
gonna do and they don't care. And they will sacrifice anything
50:48
and everything to do with the only thing that I mean, now I'm
50:51
actually going to rescind my Michelle Obama for 2024. I'm
50:56
taking that back now. That though, you can't do that, I
51:00
have to because
51:02
John C Dvorak: it would be insane. And definitely look
51:04
through your new lens.
51:06
Adam Curry: Yes, it does. Yeah, I'm allowed to change my lens.
51:10
Of course, it doesn't.
51:12
John C Dvorak: You are so adamant. This is annoying.
51:16
Adam Curry: Okay, it would be such a Hail Mary. It would have
51:18
to be an Obama ego trip to do that. Not not Michelle
51:23
John C Dvorak: Barassi. The post there was a post I think was
51:26
somebody said it to me and there is actually was sent a private
51:30
message to me this one of our producers, with a couple of
51:35
pictures of Michelle with the you know, the catalyst package.
51:39
Yes, yes. I'm saying the reason that we're trying to normalize
51:43
transgenderism is so Michelle can run for president as Big
51:48
Mike get no,
51:50
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. No, no, this, I'm telling you this, the
51:53
backlash is on the backlash is on. And I'd like to make it very
51:59
clear. There was nothing wrong with pride month. Every even
52:05
though it's kind of weird that you know, mom's get one day.
52:10
Just saying.
52:12
John C Dvorak: But I want to mention that I put out a
52:15
newsletter. That I don't know if you've noticed this, but it used
52:19
to be gay pride month.
52:20
Adam Curry: Yes, of course. Of course. And I noticed that
52:23
John C Dvorak: Tom clip that has brought some new facts to light.
52:27
All right. Well, I have some clips that will go with yours.
52:29
Yeah, we'll go with hearing off of the topic like crazy talk,
52:32
talk to talk. very effeminate, male teacher, probably non
52:41
binary, talking about what they're going to do because you
52:44
know, the Pride Month doesn't coincide with the school year,
52:46
which because kids get out of school right now.
52:49
Unknown: It's almost Pride Month. Unfortunately, our high
52:52
school year ends just before June begins. What's the gender
52:55
and sexuality Alliance sponsor to do our club members wanted a
52:59
day to feel prideful near the end of the year. So we came up
53:02
with the day of love, the focus of the day of love is simple to
53:06
broadcast a message of support and positivity about our
53:09
school's LGBTQ population in a fun way. And maybe we can start
53:13
a few productive conversations along the way from year to year
53:16
depending on the size of our membership. We've done a variety
53:19
of activities throughout the day of love. But at its most basic,
53:22
we sell pride flags and crafts, have productive conversations
53:26
and celebrate today let's talk about selling flags and crafts.
53:30
Small pride flags are easy to order online, and you can sell
53:33
them for like $1. But the profit isn't the point. The point is to
53:37
give the people in your building an opportunity to display their
53:40
support for the community in a highly visible way. Besides the
53:44
progressive pride flag, I let our members decide what kind of
53:47
pride flags that they wanted to order on our limited budget. So
53:50
this year, we have classic progressive pride, Pan trans bi,
53:56
and the updated lesbian flag. I like to send out a Google form
53:59
for my colleagues who can't make it down to the cafeteria where
54:02
the day of love is happening. That way our flags can make it
54:05
all over the school when possible. I also like to sell
54:08
crafts that our members make, and this year, oh my god, we
54:11
have little pride frogs that have oh my gosh, this is
54:15
amazing. I'm going to buy them all I'm not going to be able to
54:18
wait and we have the flag sales in a central location in our
54:21
cafeteria so that people come in, and then that's where Part
54:24
Two can happen. The conversations.
54:27
Adam Curry: What is detail what is the updated lesbian flag?
54:31
John C Dvorak: I have not seen the updated lesbian flight. I
54:34
know I have seen it but I can't remember what's special about
54:37
it's not that interesting. What was interesting in that whole
54:39
presentation was the classic progressive pride right pride
54:44
flag. He did not have a pride flag. There was no gay flag in
54:49
his collection.
54:50
Adam Curry: What was the progressive pride flag,
54:52
John C Dvorak: the progressive pride flag hammer, one that has
54:55
that arrow going in that showing the trans pushing the prides The
55:00
gays out
55:02
Adam Curry: Well, exactly and
55:04
John C Dvorak: that that progressive pride flag should be
55:08
a warning shot to the to gay people and lesbians and gay men
55:13
that Sis, sis normal sis homosexuals only way to put it
55:19
we're using this language because this is a warning shot
55:23
it's like Look we're moving in on you and your whole flag is
55:26
gonna get wiped out that the gay flag is is now no good. It's got
55:31
to be the progressive gay flag which is the one that has all
55:33
these other that has that arrow looking thing going in?
55:37
Adam Curry: Well, so that's so we're seeing what's happening
55:40
first of all, for
55:41
John C Dvorak: and that way to begin my comment. You have to
55:46
remember that it used to be gay pride month. Yes. And get now is
55:50
just Pride Month is soon it'll be Trans Pride.
55:52
Adam Curry: That's correct and and trans. Pride came right on
55:58
the heels of Black Lives Matter. And Black Lives Matter got
56:03
tossed aside, like, Okay, thanks, black people, good for
56:06
you. In America, certainly in the 70s I was around. We were
56:12
happy with our gays. We don't care, do whatever you want.
56:15
You're great on roller skates we'd love that are gay boys and
56:19
roller skates that great lesbians you're cool. Not a
56:21
problem. Not a problem. But the pushing in it during the during
56:27
the show during the lifetime of the show. We had more gay
56:32
marriage and same sex couples allowed in the United States
56:36
than most countries in Europe. Not a problem. We're good as a
56:41
button, you know, the pushing and the pushing on the kids is
56:44
what did it and now everyone's figured it out. And that's part
56:48
of the you know, the target where all of this stuff and
56:52
Americans are starting to say no. And all of this comes from
56:56
the same political push the progressive note the term
56:59
progressive pride flag. So now we're seeing gays against
57:03
groomers. Thank you boys. We're seeing LGP not the tea. LGB not
57:08
the tea is now a Twitter hashtag. It's a group of
57:12
lesbians gays and bisexuals. It should just be LG but okay. LGB,
57:16
not the tea. And that's because they pushed and pushed and
57:20
pushed. And then got pharma into it and just start doing the
57:24
stuff with children. And that's where everyone thinks to the
57:26
children. And once America start to figure out, hold on a second,
57:30
we're not going to let this happen. And now the backlash is
57:33
on.
57:35
Unknown: As pride flags rise across the country. So does the
57:41
heated debate around LGBTQ plus initiatives. pride events at a
57:48
Los Angeles Elementary School Friday sparked tense protests.
57:52
We want our kids to just be innocent and come to school and
57:55
not have to deal with sexuality.
57:58
not have the right to make people afraid to be a child in
58:01
this district because
58:02
Adam Curry: you're gay. Now listen to the difference in
58:04
these two parents. One parent calm collected, hey, you know,
58:10
kids shouldn't be dealing with sexuality in this grammar
58:13
school. The unhinged parent is exactly that. unhinged screaming
58:21
just completely at the end of her which which is sad, of
58:24
course sad. But this is this point that's a mental condition
58:29
Unknown: and come to school and not have to deal with sexuality.
58:32
not have the right to make people afraid to be a child in
58:36
this district
58:37
Adam Curry: because you're gay. No one ever did that lady
58:39
Unknown: social media fueled backlash is putting many
58:42
companies in the culture wars crossfire target pulled some of
58:46
its pride merchandise last week, including items by designer ERIC
58:50
CORNELL citing security concerns.
58:53
The second it gets hard if you're going to jump ship.
58:56
That's a very dangerous thing to tell people.
58:59
A boycott of Bud Light has caused the beer giant about 27
59:03
That
59:03
Adam Curry: great how now they put in a kid rocks machine
59:06
gunfire sound effects. I mean, it's Bud Light.
59:10
Unknown: That's a very dangerous thing to tell people.
59:13
A boycott of Bud Light has caused the beer giant about $27
59:17
billion in lost sales since April 1 When it teamed up with
59:21
transgender social media starred Dylan Mulvaney love ya. In
59:26
Florida Disney hopes to invest about a billion dollars into the
59:30
state following Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. says
59:33
Don't say gay legislation that should have
59:36
Adam Curry: been so called Don't say gay legislation. CBS en
59:40
Unknown: dollars into the state following Republican Governor
59:43
Ron DeSantis says Don't say gay legislation.
59:46
Disney's posturing has alienated a lot of people now,
59:50
but the controversy isn't stopping celebrations. As 1000s
59:54
flocked to Orlando this weekend for the annual gay days event.
1:00:00
Adam Curry: See how even CBS winds up with gay days event not
1:00:03
with a pride event. But besides that, and I want to make it very
1:00:06
clear, no one has a problem with transgender adults. No one has a
1:00:12
problem with probably don't even have a problem with transgender
1:00:16
teenagers if you're 1819 going into 20s, okay. But the problem
1:00:21
is the actual attacks through social media through pharma,
1:00:26
pharma, and through related medical industry, the
1:00:32
psychiatrists, etc. And this has been going on for a long time
1:00:36
with the drugging of our children, nothing new for this
1:00:38
show. So when people say they want to erase trans people, no,
1:00:43
that's not true. It's just not true. But you want to erase
1:00:47
children and you want to mess with children without telling
1:00:50
their parents. This is a problem in America. NBC?
1:00:54
John C Dvorak: Well, the usages are, you know, even beyond that,
1:00:57
this this concept don't want to erase trans people. It's the
1:01:01
it's the constant harping by the media, that this is anti trans
1:01:07
lesbian legislation and book banning. Yeah, burning? Well,
1:01:11
they don't make it clear none. Nobody makes it clear that these
1:01:15
are not, this is not book banning. It's either is removing
1:01:20
pornography from the Children's Library. How is that book
1:01:24
banning?
1:01:25
Adam Curry: Because that's what the media just does. And by the
1:01:27
way, if you're on Twitter, and you hate if you're on any
1:01:31
anywhere on the internet, and you hit a link, there's no news.
1:01:35
Everything is paywalled. All that's left is headlines. I even
1:01:39
got a paywall from The Guardian today. That never used to
1:01:42
happen. So everything is paywalled. All that's left is
1:01:45
screenshots of of clickbait headlines, which says they're
1:01:49
racing trans people, we have trans producers. We don't care.
1:01:54
We love. We love everybody who produces here, but it's very
1:01:58
clear what's going on and you're right and the media has psyops
1:02:01
everybody and now the call has gone out for most not all that
1:02:05
we're turning this around NBC
1:02:09
Unknown: June is Pride Month and there's no missing it's kickoff.
1:02:12
rainbow flags are everywhere. There are T shirts and hats.
1:02:16
Apple as a watch Absolut Vodka has a special bottle
1:02:19
companies have gotten more involved in pride as a sign of
1:02:22
how the whole culture is changing.
1:02:24
This year the landscape has shifted.
1:02:26
You're gonna get rainbow vomit on everything across corporate
1:02:29
America,
1:02:30
some corporations are stepping into a fierce fight over
1:02:33
transgender issues. It plays out in state
1:02:36
houses. When you bow your heads in prayer. You see the blood on
1:02:39
your hands
1:02:40
and on cable news,
1:02:41
the same people who encourage minors to have life altering
1:02:45
hormones and surgery on their genitalia and even begin
1:02:48
transitioning without parental consent. They have done and are
1:02:52
doing enormous damage to young people

1:03:20
John C Dvorak: a lie It's a lie I mean you know they these
1:03:24
reports are all just so slanted you pointed out in the last one
1:03:29
where they didn't use this word so called which is what they
1:03:32
should have done. They didn't mark it a can with Mulvaney they
1:03:37
sent Mulvaney a special candidate they printed for her

outcrop month sales dropped nearly 30% there are calls to
1:03:57
boycott Kohl's because of its pride themed baby clothes, and
1:04:01
North Face the outdoor company as well. We like to call this
1:04:04
little tour, the summer of fried the
1:04:07
transgender issues still seem strange and scary to people
1:04:11
20 states bans on transgender medical treatment for minors
1:04:15
does this very angry debate cast a shadow over some of the
1:04:20
progress that has been made?
1:04:21
I think everyone is aware that issues that seem to be settled
1:04:25
just a few years ago are up for grabs. Again,
1:04:28
pride organisers across the country tell NBC News digital
1:04:32
that their once eager sponsors are now more hesitant, growing
1:04:36
fearful a backlash will target their bottom line,
1:04:39
Adam Curry: right? So in America, the business of America
1:04:42
still business. So this is what's happening. But they've
1:04:45
even got lists on social. I'm on a list now. I got a tweet. And
1:04:49
we've only talked about trans Maoism. I would say in general,
1:04:54
but here's the tweet. And this is how I know that I'm a list.
1:04:58
Hey Adam, it's Texas man. Andy with your New World Order
1:05:02
Illuminati transhumanism update special Yee ha hashtag no agenda
1:05:07
show seriously, Adam lighten up on the anti trans rhetoric.
1:05:14
That's not someone who's listening to the show. What?
1:05:17
Yeah. Hey, Adam is Texas Mandy, this is a tweet with your New
1:05:23
World Order Illuminati transhumanism update special Yee
1:05:27
ha, no agenda show hashtag no agenda show. Seriously, Adam,
1:05:31
lighten up on the anti trans rhetoric,
1:05:34
John C Dvorak: but a mixed message.
1:05:36
Adam Curry: It's because of just I'm just gonna list and yes, the
1:05:39
John C Dvorak: fake it's a fake message. And they just put the
1:05:42
hashtag whatever. Yeah, yeah, I can associate with you.
1:05:47
Adam Curry: Exactly. And in that I'm sure that message will go
1:05:49
out to other people. So I think this is part of, it's sad. It's
1:05:56
really sad because we've, you know, we've gone through quite a
1:06:00
horrible period, certainly in the United States. It's not just
1:06:04
here, it's everywhere. As usual, America is always the
1:06:07
trendsetter. And now that's going to be turned back and the
1:06:11
business people in America have decided, Okay, time to whipsaw
1:06:15
this thing around, we put in Rodney D. We're good to go. And
1:06:19
I might mention we went from gay pride to pride. Please remember,
1:06:24
great pride comes before a great fall. And when you're just
1:06:28
positioning this pride, that's almost one of the sins.
1:06:32
John C Dvorak: Here's one of the Seven Deadly Sins Correct.
1:06:36
Adam Curry: great pride comes before great fall. Here's NBC
1:06:39
with the Chuck Todd, who will have to talk about later with
1:06:44
the director of special projects for the National Center for
1:06:47
Transgender Equality. Josie Cavaleiro
1:06:52
Unknown: what is happening in these executive conversations? I
1:06:56
know you've been doing some reporting, you've had some of
1:06:58
these conversations. What are you hearing? I mean, look, we
1:07:00
know the one thing about corporate executives, it's I
1:07:03
think can just be wasted. I mean, this I'm sorry.
1:07:06
John C Dvorak: What are you hearing here? Look?
1:07:11
Adam Curry: It's a new combo. We haven't we're
1:07:14
John C Dvorak: dropping this word here look, and we've got
1:07:17
this B or I've caught it before. Yes, it
1:07:20
Adam Curry: it's it's NLP. Well, I
1:07:24
John C Dvorak: understand the mechanism and why is being used
1:07:27
in the first place hypnotism and LP your di BS, it's got to have
1:07:32
some hypnotic thing. But he's answered asking a question. And
1:07:38
within the question he's saying here, look,
1:07:40
Adam Curry: it's leading the witness. With NLP leading the
1:07:44
witness SIOP in the the interviewed and the audience at
1:07:47
the same time, we'll start it over what is happening
1:07:50
Unknown: in these executive conversations. I know you've
1:07:53
been doing some reporting, you've had some of these
1:07:55
conversations. What are you hearing? I mean, look, we know
1:07:57
the one thing that executives,
1:07:59
Adam Curry: what are you hearing? I mean, look, I'm going
1:08:01
to tell you what you hear you I'm going to tell that's what it
1:08:03
is, what are you hearing? Look, I'm going to tell you what
1:08:04
you're hearing.
1:08:05
Unknown: They can just be cowards, and I mean this and
1:08:07
they, they if if they come from the left or the right, they want
1:08:10
to just crawl under their desk, what are you sensing?
1:08:13
What's happening is that these executives are really having to
1:08:16
do this balancing act, right. Where do you want to market?
1:08:19
merchandised? Do you know about nine 10% of the population that
1:08:23
demands this stuff?
1:08:25
Adam Curry: This is I'd like to see that statistic. Nine to 10%
1:08:29
of America demand this stuff? Wow, what
1:08:33
John C Dvorak: a lie. I can't believe that at all. Oh, it's
1:08:36
under 1%
1:08:38
Unknown: merchandised to you know, about nine 10% of the
1:08:41
population that demands this stuff, versus the the backlash
1:08:46
and the anger and the vitriol and the threat to their staff
1:08:49
and their customer base. So it's a very hard time for them to
1:08:53
realize like should we work in the sight of profits and sell
1:08:57
products? Or should we try to look at the safety of our own
1:09:00
staff and employees
1:09:01
Adam Curry: Newsflash, Josie Newsflash, America works on the
1:09:05
side of profits always. Always, business in general. Always.
1:09:11
Unknown: There's more. We also need to make sure that these
1:09:14
corporations start taking real stances. This isn't about just
1:09:17
putting a rainbow logo out on your community. This is more
1:09:21
than that. And they have to make public statements to say we're
1:09:23
gonna serve the people that want these products. I was just
1:09:26
gonna say you're about we're about to learn who's an ally.
1:09:30
And who was simply I don't know what you want to call it. Pride
1:09:34
washing, I guess might be a first.
1:09:37
Absolutely because now the rainbow logo actually means
1:09:40
something. Because the second you slap it on your
1:09:42
organization, you're going to have extreme ideologues coming
1:09:46
at you. And so really, we're gonna see like you said, who is
1:09:51
going to stand by this pride of month I mean, this month of
1:09:54
pride row.
1:09:55
Adam Curry: That's an interesting flub, this pride of
1:09:57
month
1:09:59
Unknown: and Oh, really, we're gonna see, like you said, who is
1:10:03
going to stand by this pride of month? I mean, this month of
1:10:06
pride right now. And we'll see who our real allies are and see
1:10:10
if their activism was just paper thin. Yeah, trust
1:10:14
Adam Curry: me. Of course, it's paper thin. Daily. Where's the
1:10:18
Black Lives Matter? T shirts? Were those go? That didn't last
1:10:23
long did it? Black people are all saved. So good black
1:10:26
Americans for the win? No, no, these companies don't care. one
1:10:31
more clip, it
1:10:32
Unknown: does seem as if this is a small band of loud voices that
1:10:38
have used social media to gain traction. Oh, yeah. Do you see
1:10:41
any responsibility here in social media companies? Or
1:10:45
Adam Curry: is that desperate attempt to throw Elon under the
1:10:48
bus just
1:10:48
Unknown: something that that ship has sailed? There's nothing
1:10:51
we can do about it. Anyway. Yeah, that ship has sailed.
1:10:53
Todd Well, you
1:10:54
have seen the loosening of tos, you know, standards in then in
1:10:59
the terms of use in some of these social media companies. So
1:11:02
you've seen loosening behavior where on Twitter, you can
1:11:05
actually now openly misgendered people which is wrong, but
1:11:10
it's wrong.
1:11:13
Adam Curry: It's wrong. It's wrong
1:11:15
Unknown: and or you can actually now openly misgendered people
1:11:17
which is wrong. But honestly, we need to start calling this what
1:11:21
it is, is stochastic terrorism. These people are raising
1:11:27
people's anxieties and angers saying it's very explicit things
1:11:31
like we're going after children, and it's causing these radical
1:11:35
few voices to actually take up and do action. And yes,
1:11:40
absolutely. Social media companies are responsible for
1:11:42
not holding these media figures to account.
1:11:46
Adam Curry: This is totally a lapse on the on the part of the
1:11:50
media, we do not have an honest media in the United States. And
1:11:53
these people I think, like this Josie, this director of Josie
1:11:59
title, right,
1:12:01
John C Dvorak: as gender director of
1:12:03
Adam Curry: special projects at the National Center for
1:12:05
Transgender Equality, first of all, and I have to say it kind
1:12:10
of started with we need special rights. You know, we need
1:12:13
transgender rights. And all of that is just fake and phony.
1:12:16
Everybody in America has rights. We all have the same rights.
1:12:20
It's just it's just bull. And the media misreported the media,
1:12:24
Miss reports on, as you pointed out, the anti trans legislation?
1:12:29
No, it's not anti it's Pro Child is pro young person. It's pro
1:12:33
protecting children. That's what that is. But the media does such
1:12:38
a horrible job of it that I don't think this person even
1:12:41
understands what's really going on. You know, they just Oh,
1:12:44
yeah. Oh, here's another headline. Oh, yeah. So Oh,
1:12:46
Republicans, but
1:12:48
John C Dvorak: Republicans black, that is the that is the
1:12:52
phrase do
1:12:53
Adam Curry: your Republicans Blair. Now, but
1:12:56
John C Dvorak: that's basically all this is about? Yeah.
1:12:59
Adam Curry: Well, that's the trans mauers part. You know, the
1:13:01
Democrat Party tried to grab onto this and say, Ah, now we
1:13:05
can really do it. We can really use these people. And it's just
1:13:09
the wheels are coming off of it. And it's it's a pretty good
1:13:12
vehicle they put together with DeSantis. But it's not like the
1:13:16
Savior. I'm gonna I'm not gonna flip. Please. Glad that it's
1:13:20
going to stop. But it's this is not the end of America's
1:13:22
problems with our politics. Now, before I play my last transmog
1:13:28
was in clip. A very sad day, today. Sad day for this show.
1:13:36
For many, many years, we've enjoyed misgendering Chuck, Chip
1:13:40
Chop, chop, Todd, Gregory, Chuck Todd.
1:13:45
John C Dvorak: misnaming, we'd never misgendered I think we
1:13:47
might
1:13:47
Adam Curry: have misgendered him from time to time as well. Well,
1:13:50
he is. It's a very, it's a very sad day. He's leaving. He's
1:13:53
leaving about time. They got rid of him well, and and he's very
1:13:59
emotional. And they're kicking him out. I mean, he's gone. He's
1:14:01
out. And well,
1:14:03
John C Dvorak: it was never any good.
1:14:04
Adam Curry: Yes. And the ratings Gregory wasn't any much better.
1:14:09
But once Russert was gone, that was the end of it. Yeah. And
1:14:13
also the media change and we got a lot more things for people to
1:14:16
look at. But I'd like to play as much as we can stomach of his
1:14:20
goodbye. Which is by the way today,
1:14:25
John C Dvorak: yeah. Today you caught it.
1:14:29
Adam Curry: He Kristen Welker is going to take over.
1:14:34
Unknown: Oh, God.
1:14:36
Adam Curry: I know. I don't think she'll be much better. But
1:14:40
some interesting flubs right at the beginning of this goodbyes,
1:14:45
see if you can catch it.
1:14:46
Unknown: Welcome back. I have a personal announcement. Well,
1:14:49

1:14:52

1:14:55
long run. I'm pretty really proud of what this team and I
1:14:58
have built over the last decade for So
1:15:00
Adam Curry: he says, I'm pretty, and I'm really you. So he's
1:15:02
pretty proud. No, you can't be really proud because you know,
1:15:06
you've failed. Basically,
1:15:08
Unknown: this is going to be my final summer here and meet the
1:15:09
press. It's been an amazing nearly decade long run. I'm
1:15:13
pretty really proud of what this team and I have built over the
1:15:16
last decade and frankly, the last 15 plus years that I've
1:15:19
been here at NBC, which also includes my time as political
1:15:22
director. I've loved love so much of this job.
1:15:26

also includes my time as political director. I've loved
1:15:50
love so much in this job helping to explain America, Washington,
1:15:54
truth comes out and explain Washington to America. When I
1:15:57
took over Meet the Press, it was a Sunday show that had a lot of
1:15:59
people questioning whether it could still have a place in the
1:16:02
modern media space.
1:16:03
No. Oh, he
1:16:04
Adam Curry: didn't save the show. He's Of course he's got to
1:16:07
prop himself up that
1:16:08
Unknown: question and then so we've taken Meet the Press from
1:16:10
a single Sunday show to a distinct an important political
1:16:13
franchise. From our daily show Meet the Press now. Our magazine
1:16:17
show Meet the Press reports to our newsletters and podcasts.
1:16:20
We've successfully expanded what makes Meet the Press special on
1:16:24
Sundays to make it special no matter the topic or where it
1:16:27
airs or when it airs. Okay, that includes our annual Meet the
1:16:30

1:16:59
want to hear more it gets better?
1:17:01
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not stopping you.
1:17:03
Unknown: But the key to survival of any of these incredible media
1:17:06
and his ratings to these including here at Meet the Press
1:17:09
is for leaders not to overstay their welcome Oh,
1:17:11
Adam Curry: leaders should not overstay their welcome is to

personally, I've let work consume me for nearly 30 years,
1:19:39
so I can't remember the last time I didn't wake up before
1:19:41
five or 6am. And as I've watched too many friends and family, let
1:19:45

Unknown: And just as important. And this is what really makes me
1:20:25

1:20:28
confidence in the person whom I'm going to pass the baton to,

oh, she's somebody who's been ready for this for a long time.
1:20:34
Kristen walk privilege of working with her from
1:20:37

1:20:42
Adam Curry: That's white privilege, Todd in the right
1:20:44
moment. And for what
1:20:45
Unknown: it's worth, this is always how I hoped this would
1:20:49
end for me.
1:20:53
Adam Curry: This is always how I hoped it would end for me. With
1:20:56
me getting kicked as
1:20:57
John C Dvorak: opposed to a bullet to the head. What's she
1:20:59
talking about?
1:21:00
Unknown: Let me just say she's the right person in the right.
1:21:03
And for what it's worth, this is always how I hoped this would
1:21:07
end for me that I'd be passing the baton to her.
1:21:11
Adam Curry: Now I feel kind of bad about mocking him. But he's
1:21:14
been so horrible. Throughout the year. He's really been a
1:21:17
horrible man. He's really inflamed. The issues amongst
1:21:23
Americans as a whole, you know, NBC News. He's made matters
1:21:27
worse made matters worse. Yes.
1:21:29
Unknown: Now officially do that in September. I'll be honest. So
1:21:32
I leave feeling concerned about this moment in history. Oh, yes.
1:21:36
Concern. All right, Chuck Todd, but reassured by the standards.
1:21:39
We've said here. We didn't tolerate propagandists, and this
1:21:42
network and program never will. But it doesn't mean sticking
1:21:45
your head in the sand either. If you ignore reality, you'll miss
1:21:48
the big story. Being a real political journalist isn't about
1:21:52
building a brand. It's about reporting what's happening and
1:21:55
explaining.
1:21:56
John C Dvorak: Stop, stop. Didn't we just hear about three
1:22:02
minutes ago? About the big building the brand, Meet the
1:22:07
Press Daily Show and The Film Festival? We've turned into a
1:22:13
massive brand I'm proud of. And now he says nah. Can you keep
1:22:20
his message straight at least?
1:22:22
Adam Curry: No, he only has three minutes. It's hard to do.
1:22:24
If you ignore
1:22:24
Unknown: reality, you'll miss the big story. Being a real
1:22:27
political journalist isn't about building a brand. It's about
1:22:31
reporting what's happening and explaining why it's happening
1:22:34
and letting the public absorb the facts. If you do this job
1:22:37
seeking popularity, you're doing this job incorrectly.
1:22:40
Adam Curry: But it wasn't Chuck Todd who told everyone they
1:22:42
should be ashamed of themselves for for not taking the COVID
1:22:45
shot was not him. Quite frankly, I believe so should be ashamed
1:22:49
of yourself
1:22:50
John C Dvorak: to be ashamed of yourself. And that taken COVID
1:22:52
shot exactly.
1:22:54
Unknown: I take the attacks from partisans as compliments. Okay,
1:22:57
take the compliments from partisans with a grain of salt.
1:23:01
The goal of this and every Meet the Press episode is to do all
1:23:03
of the following in one informative hour. make you mad,
1:23:07
make you think. Shake your head in disapproval. And nod your
1:23:11
head in approval and wag your finger do all of that in one
1:23:14
hour of this show. We've done our jobs. So again, this isn't
1:23:18
goodbye. No, no, this sits in this chair. Sunday. It's Meet
1:23:24
the Press.
1:23:28
Adam Curry: All right. Bye. Bye. Wow, I'll miss him. I miss him.
1:23:32
I'll miss him. He was good for our show.
1:23:35
John C Dvorak: I don't think he was good as a chip.
1:23:37
Adam Curry: Chip was better. Anyway, just one final clip
1:23:40
we'll go back to the the network that has still not received the
1:23:44
memo because we had CBS NBC ABC is still hanging on for some
1:23:49
reason. What are you drinking? What just crack open?
1:23:52
John C Dvorak: This is a like what did it cut? Is it liquid
1:23:54
Lacroix I
1:23:56
Adam Curry: you know, I would pronounce it like qua but I
1:23:59
think Lacroix is how they market it.
1:24:02
John C Dvorak: I think they do too. Yeah, it's as a Lacroix
1:24:05
pure
1:24:06
Adam Curry: Oh pure so it's just water with bubbles. It's
1:24:09
basically
1:24:11
John C Dvorak: overpriced, bubbly water in a can. And
1:24:14
again,
1:24:14
Adam Curry: here's the view
1:24:21
Unknown: Welcome back, it is the start of Pride Month. But as I'm
1:24:30
sure you all aware, the attacks against the LGBTQ community have
1:24:35
been insane this year and are heating up even more. And, you
1:24:39
know, I guess my question is, what does the right thing
1:24:44
political you're going to achieve by this kind of
1:24:49
mongering?
1:24:50
Well, they're not going to achieve it because they aren't
1:24:53
out of line with what the country believes glad released
1:24:56
the study today on accelerating acceptance. 84% of Non LGBTQ
1:25:01
Americans support equal rights for LGBTQ community. 96% believe
1:25:05
that school should be a safe place for openness and
1:25:08
acceptance and acceptance for young people. 91% believe that
1:25:12
LGBTQ people should be able to live freely and their lives not
1:25:16
to be discriminated against, they're out of touch and out of
1:25:19
line, so they will not win. Which means this pride this
1:25:22
Pride Month is more important than ever, not to hunker down,
1:25:24
but to be louder than ever and prouder than ever.
1:25:27
Adam Curry: So this is the thing. Of course no American
1:25:30
disagrees with that. We don't disagree with that. Everybody
1:25:33
should have the same rights in America. This Yeah, well, they
1:25:36
do. There's no disagreement. Of course, if you're in school, and
1:25:39
you're and you're, you're gay, trans or bi, lesbian, whatever,
1:25:44
fine. No one has a problem with that. It's the attack that
1:25:48
people have a problem with disingenuous view ladies, tut,
1:25:53
tut, tut. Just one. One interesting little tidbit I saw
1:25:59
here and then in the New York Times, I mean, what do we know
1:26:02
about not pressuring children into transitioning to the other
1:26:06
gender? They're going to kill themselves?
1:26:09
John C Dvorak: Which is the main thesis or would you rather have
1:26:12
a dead daughter or Alive son New York for that
1:26:18
Adam Curry: one New York Times no one knows how many LGBTQ
1:26:23
Americans die by suicide. What death investigators are trying
1:26:30
to learn how many gay and transgender people die by
1:26:33
suicide in the United States they don't even know there's not
1:26:38
there's not even any data on this anyway it's just gone too
1:26:48
far just gone too far it's gone too far and people and Americans
1:26:52
because of the business of America and by the way Glamour
1:26:55
magazine you'll find out
1:26:57
John C Dvorak: that the Glamour UK by the way the spectacular
1:27:00
was a Glamour
1:27:00
Adam Curry: UK Yeah, I thought it was glamour let me say it
1:27:05
Glamour UK you're right no you're right it says Glamour UK
1:27:10
All right. Well maybe the UK is cool with that. But most women
1:27:14
who by Glamour don't want to see a doula big a big pregnant dude.
1:27:19
Dude No well you'll find out I maybe the UK is different. Can't
1:27:26
speak for that.
1:27:28
John C Dvorak: Well, they've cut back on all this stuff in the UK
1:27:30
they've closed the clinics they've done all these other
1:27:32
things so I don't know what this what the point of this magazine
1:27:35
cover is. Which is not a parody do we know for a fact is
1:27:39
actually exist? I haven't gotten any proof of that.
1:27:42
Adam Curry: Well, it's Yahoo. Yahoo, so Yahoo will be pretty
1:27:46
stupid if they if they if they screwed up this story. I don't
1:27:54
know. Anyway, America is a great country. We really do have all
1:27:59
kinds of leniency and we love all Americans and we really
1:28:05
don't care what you do but you just don't go after the children
1:28:09
don't do this weird stuff in school. And thank you Wall
1:28:14
Street big money people Murdoch, Logan Roy, Ron DeSantis. Thank
1:28:19
you for setting us straight. But watch out everybody. Because
1:28:26
it's say hello to the new boss same as the old boss. But you're
1:28:31
not you're not getting the great new whatever.
1:28:37
John C Dvorak: You getting a just a retread. You're getting
1:28:40
Adam Curry: a retread. Yeah, well, it's a better branding. I
1:28:42
mean, we're good at rebranding in America. So that's not bad. I
1:28:45
mean, it's I'm okay with better branding. Better branding is
1:28:48
good. Let us let me say I want to do a couple of Biden clips
1:28:56
and notes your beat but Biden's addressed to the to the cadets
1:29:02
did involved. Some American stuff, but also the the the debt
1:29:12
ceiling deal that was that was cut. Let me see. I think I'll
1:29:20
just start with him here.
1:29:22
Unknown: America's
1:29:24
Adam Curry: No, this is not this is not from the from the
1:29:26
Academy. This is his Oval Office speech.
1:29:30
John C Dvorak: And I thought well, after the debt ceiling
1:29:32
sign off. Yes. I
1:29:33
Adam Curry: think this I think this is the first time he's done
1:29:35
an Oval Office speeches and now.
1:29:37
John C Dvorak: I think there's often
1:29:39
Adam Curry: no he doesn't Well, here he is
1:29:40
Unknown: from fellow Americans. When I ran for President. I was
1:29:44
told the day so bipartisanship for over. The Democrats and
1:29:48
Republicans can no longer work together.
1:29:53
Adam Curry: What's the last tell?
1:29:54
Unknown: You can no longer work together? But I refuse to
1:29:58
believe that because America can never give in to that way of
1:30:02
thinking. The only way American democracy can function is
1:30:06
through compromise and consensus. And that's what I
1:30:09
work to do, as your President, you know, to forge bipartisan
1:30:13
agreement where it's possible, and where it's needed. I've
1:30:17
signed more than 350 bipartisan laws US foreign was two and a
1:30:21
half years, including historic law that rebuilding America, so
1:30:25
that we can rank number one in the world and infrastructure,
1:30:28
instead of where we rank Now, number 13 in the world, another
1:30:32
historic law, rebuilding our manufacturing base, so that will
1:30:35
lead the world once again and making semiconductor chips so
1:30:39
much more, and so many more, so many more sophisticated ones.
1:30:43
And now, a bipartisan budget agreement. This is vital,
1:30:48
because a speaker because it's essential to the progress we've
1:30:51
made over the last few years, is keeping full faith and credit of
1:30:55
the United States of America, and passing a budget that
1:30:58
continues to grow our economy, and reflects our values as a
1:31:02
nation. That's why I'm speaking to report on the Crisis averted.
1:31:07
And what we're doing to protect America's future.
1:31:10
Adam Curry: So make no mistake, of course, the Republicans and
1:31:13
Democrats in Congress, they're in collusion, you know, they
1:31:16
don't care. They'll just do it. Same old, same old stuff. But
1:31:20
there is one point that is Biden's I think this is going to
1:31:24
be his his reelection topic that he's going to use. And it's it's
1:31:32
one that the I think most of the media will be on board with. And
1:31:35
it's a social security.
1:31:36
Unknown: You may remember during my State of the Union address,
1:31:39
there were spirit there was a spirit exchange between me and a
1:31:42
few Republicans spontaneously occurring on the floor of the
1:31:45
House representatives. I was pointed out there for years,
1:31:48
some of them were putting forward proposals to cut Social
1:31:51
Security, Medicare, and some of them that night took exception.
1:31:55
And they said very loudly, that that wasn't true. So I asked
1:31:59
them on the floor that night, I said, ask them a simple
1:32:02
question. Will you agree not to cut Social Security and
1:32:06
Medicare? Would they agree to protect these essential
1:32:10
programs, a lifeline for millions of Americans, programs
1:32:14
that the Americans have been paying into every single
1:32:16
paycheck they've earned since they started working. And that
1:32:20
provides so much peace of mind. With the bright lights and
1:32:23
cameras on those few Republicans who were protesting. They agreed
1:32:29
they said they wouldn't cut it. That's how we protected social
1:32:32
security medicare from the beginning. And from a big cut
1:32:35
period.
1:32:36
Adam Curry: But Washington is not happy enough with this
1:32:38
message. And this will be witnessed by our favorite C span
1:32:42
show. The more Is it the morning report, the Colin show,
1:32:46
Washington Washington journal, Washington, Washington Journal,
1:32:50
The Washington journal is rigged to surprise I know, but one
1:32:55
caller who called in and was clearly instructed to say
1:32:58
Republicans are horrible because they want to cancel Social
1:33:01
Security. He screwed it up. Or he just didn't do it enough. And
1:33:07
the control room actually started talking to him while he
1:33:11
was on the air
1:33:12
Unknown: and Charles is in Tennessee. Go ahead, Charles.
1:33:16
Yes, ma'am. Thank you for taking my call was very much approved
1:33:20
and get everything but that's part of negotiating. But if the
1:33:25
Republicans would have had everything in his term, the
1:33:29
President and the Senate, Social Security would have been down.
1:33:33
They've made that pretty funny.
1:33:39
Is that all Charles? Is that what you wanted to say? No,
1:33:41
no, no, no, no, no.
1:33:45
Adam Curry: No, I'll do the control room part so you can
1:33:47
hear what's going on here.
1:33:48
Unknown: So security would have been they've made it pretty
1:33:52
funny.
1:33:56
Is that all Charles? Is that what you wanted to
1:33:58
say? No, no, no, no, no, no. You can you imagine the United
1:34:04
States without social security?
1:34:07
Adam Curry: Good try Washington journal. Just spiking the calls
1:34:12
talking to him to walking people through it. Back to
1:34:16
John C Dvorak: wow,
1:34:17
Adam Curry: he has a good one, isn't it?
1:34:18
John C Dvorak: I think you nailed it. Yeah, that's exactly
1:34:20
what happened. Back to his nobody would ever say you know,
1:34:24
some southern drawl guy talking about Social Security. Can you
1:34:31
imagine what the country would be like with so that was gonna
1:34:35
ask that. It's gonna say that.
1:34:38
Adam Curry: What, what?
1:34:42
John C Dvorak: I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
1:34:45
Adam Curry: Back to our special report here. President Biden
1:34:49
talking about the IRS, which luckily, luckily, we're able to
1:34:52
keep that in the deal.
1:34:53
Unknown: We're going to do even more to reduce the deficit. We
1:34:56
need to control spending, if we're going to do that, but we I
1:35:00
just have to raise revenue and go after tax cheats and make
1:35:03
sure everybody's paying their fair share.
1:35:05
Adam Curry: Oh here comes before tax cheats, tax cheats, you're
1:35:08
on deck.
1:35:09
Unknown: No one, I promise no one making less than $400,000 a
1:35:14
year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. But like most of
1:35:17
you at home, I know the federal tax system is unfair. That's why
1:35:22
I kept my commitment again that no one earning less than
1:35:25
$400,000 a year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. That's
1:35:29
why last year I secured more funding to go more IRS funded to
1:35:34
go after wealthy tax cheats.
1:35:36
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, they need 87,000 people to go after a
1:35:39
wealthy. How many wealthy tax cheats are their
1:35:43
John C Dvorak: phones? Oh, but
1:35:46
Adam Curry: seems like a lot partners
1:35:48
Unknown: Congressional Budget Office and it is nonpartisan,
1:35:51
says that this bill bring in $150 billion. And other outside
1:35:57
experts expect that it would save as much as $400 billion
1:36:01
because it's forcing people to pay their fair share
1:36:03
Adam Curry: $400 billion drop in the bucket. That's That's it a
1:36:08
Christmas card to Ukraine. Come on. That's what you if it's 4
1:36:12
billion, let's do the math here for a second. What is 4 billion
1:36:19
divided by 87,004? See, can we do those math concepts? Were was
1:36:27
it
1:36:27
John C Dvorak: 4 billion or 400? billion?
1:36:31
Adam Curry: Oh, do you say 400 100 billion.
1:36:34
John C Dvorak: But he said four Another
1:36:35
Unknown: possibility is not to expect that it would save as
1:36:38
much as 400 billion
1:36:39
Adam Curry: 400 billion. Okay, that's fine. 400 as a lot of
1:36:43
billions. 400 billion divided by 87,000. We come up with that's
1:36:55
about 4 billion for now. billion per dude. That's pretty good.
1:37:00
We'll see. We'll see how that goes. Wrapping an odd
1:37:06
John C Dvorak: that's not the answer to that division quite
1:37:08
queries just doesn't sound right as for Milky Way is 404 billion
1:37:12
bigger do or point 4 billion times 201 5,000,004
1:37:17
Adam Curry: point 5 million produced and there we go. 4.5
1:37:20
million produce. But there's a lot of people cheating $4
1:37:23
million to vorak. I see you
1:37:26
John C Dvorak: not want to count on that I
1:37:29
Adam Curry: live in in Berkeley. Where people steal your mail.
1:37:34
All right, Biden's wrapping it up. I can honestly say when he's
1:37:38
when you're laughing. I can honestly say it's not honest.
1:37:42
Unknown: I can honestly say I can honestly say to you tonight
1:37:45
that I've never been more optimistic about America's
1:37:47
future. We just need to remember who we are. We are the United
1:37:52
States of America. That's
1:37:53
Adam Curry: a Biden ism and but also an Obama ism. That's not
1:37:58
who we are. Is that Joe? Or is it Obama?
1:38:02
Unknown: We just need to remember who we are. We are the
1:38:05
United States of America. And there's nothing, nothing we
1:38:09
can't do
1:38:10
John C Dvorak: that we can't do dignity.
1:38:14
Unknown: Thank you all for listening to taking the time
1:38:16
tonight to listen to me. May God bless you all. And may God
1:38:20
protect our troops.
1:38:22
John C Dvorak: Ever. You know, he's never said May God bless
1:38:24
America. No, it's just the troops. He's never said, No,
1:38:28
you're right. God bless America. God
1:38:30
Adam Curry: bless our troops. Mr. Crane am crazy. May God
1:38:33
bless our troops in Ukraine. He should just be honest about it.
1:38:36
And CBS, of course call this what
1:38:38
Unknown: it is. I bring in our chief White House correspondent,
1:38:40
Nancy Cortez and Nancy wall. He was talking about this agreement
1:38:45
between Democrats and Republicans. The remarks also
1:38:49
talked about why he thinks he should be reelected by the
1:38:52
American people sounded a bit like a campaign speech.
1:38:55
Right. And he was making a pitch for his attacks, plans to close
1:39:00
loopholes on and increase taxes on the wealthy, and corporations
1:39:04
something that he has no hope of achieving, unless Democrats
1:39:08
retake control of the House, the whole reason that he had to have
1:39:12
this negotiation in the first place and negotiation that for
1:39:16
months he and other Democrats insisted they wouldn't have on
1:39:18
spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling was
1:39:21
because Republicans now control the house and they were refusing
1:39:25
to vote to raise the debt ceiling unless they got
1:39:27
something that they wanted in return. So on one hand, he was
1:39:30
making the case that he was able to work with those Republicans
1:39:33
and then everybody got what they wanted, but at the same time,
1:39:36
lay out what he would like to do if he ever had unified
1:39:40
government in Washington again.
1:39:43
Adam Curry: Yeah, so Biden is out. It's DeSantis. All the way.
1:39:47
Easy to call. Easy call. There is one, one little thing that's
1:39:52
still going on. We still have to get rid of Trump and the Trump
1:39:57
supporters. This is Very annoying to Washington. So let's
1:40:03
get back to Washington journal. And let's see what the producers
1:40:08
have told America to say I
1:40:11
Unknown: want to say this, I think mine is doing a very good
1:40:14
job. And during the Trump administration, they raised the
1:40:18
debt ceiling three times and never asked one question. If
1:40:23
anybody needs to be put in jail, this Trump and many of them
1:40:28
Adam Curry: that's what they are. You gotta listen to this.
1:40:30
You got to listen, this is really good.
1:40:31
Unknown: If anybody needs to be put in jail, this Trump and many
1:40:35
of the Nazis that's what they are Nazis, every time they catch
1:40:39
one of the gun Nazi swastika flag hanging around them. So
1:40:45
what it is to let's tell it like it is, it has nothing to do with
1:40:48
Biden, it has to do with Kamala and her Jewish husband. That's
1:40:53
what they're afraid of could happen. All right,
1:40:55
let's talk to Chris next.
1:40:57
Adam Curry: This is something I had not considered. This this
1:41:02
may be the whole reason why Kamala is laughing hysterically.
1:41:06
They know that they're going to kill her husband. And when I say
1:41:09
they, it's not the Nazis. Wouldn't that be a perfect way?
1:41:16
John C Dvorak: Oh, wait, I am looking at this. Listen to that
1:41:21
woman who's the sounds like an idiot. But yet she knows that
1:41:25
they didn't raise the order that they raised the dead 63 time she
1:41:30
had all that data. So that's kind of odd. And then everyone
1:41:34
has a Nazi flags. This is new. Yep. That's a very poor call.
1:41:40
Adam Curry: Yeah, but then she says they're gonna kill
1:41:43
communists. Jewish husband.
1:41:47
John C Dvorak: No, she never said he's gonna kill him. Yes,
1:41:49
that's
1:41:49
Adam Curry: exactly what she said. No, she
1:41:51
John C Dvorak: says that they're afraid of him.
1:41:53
Unknown: No know
1:41:54
what it is to let's tell it like it is. It has nothing to do with
1:41:57
Biden. It has to do with Kamala and her Jewish husband. That's
1:42:02
what they afraid of could happen. All right,
1:42:05
Adam Curry: that's what they're afraid to happen. Oh, okay.
1:42:08
Well, I think my takeaway from this is poor dog. Poor dog. Now
1:42:17
that's they're afraid of Kamala and her Jewish husband since
1:42:20
when
1:42:20
John C Dvorak: of yet getting into president so please
1:42:24
Adam Curry: remember she had been told what to say here.
1:42:28
She's been told
1:42:29
John C Dvorak: this is what this is. This is the scheme I've said
1:42:32
this I don't reckon you always scoff at me saying well, I'm
1:42:35
Michelle big Miko get this job. I said they've been grooming the
1:42:40
best they've been doing is grooming Camela all along to let
1:42:45
her run as if and become the first female president and I
1:42:51
Adam Curry: stand standing by it.
1:42:54
John C Dvorak: Now they are afraid of it. They're afraid of
1:42:56
it. And which is of course not true. They would love it. But
1:43:00
that is what they want to run I'm not saying she's gonna get
1:43:02
it I'm just saying that they'd love to run her because the
1:43:04
Democrats are so stupid that they actually think it's a pot
1:43:07
you know that oh yeah, they're afraid a camera because she's so
1:43:09
sharp. And I didn't get I had a clip and I didn't have been
1:43:13
fortunate put it in today's show where she's going on and on
1:43:15
about our allies, North Korea. What have you heard this one?
1:43:22
Adam Curry: Beauty Kamala Harris said I haven't I the next show.
1:43:25
The next show. God, that's great. I love this. We've
1:43:28
John C Dvorak: had great reporting. These are great
1:43:31
allies, North Korea, she was on and on. She knew somebody and
1:43:34
they had to scrub it as best they could. But it got out.
1:43:39
Adam Curry: Anyway, I'm very, very happy to be in Hill
1:43:43
Country, high society and very happy to know that Nick and
1:43:48
Suzanne, I'm sure we will be hearing more from them. Our new
1:43:54
friends he's
1:43:54
John C Dvorak: going back to you so he's gonna go back to work.
1:43:56
He thinks in July.
1:43:58
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Everyone's going back to work.
1:44:01
Except for the dumbbells who fell for this Yeah, everyone's
1:44:08
going back. Everyone's going back is just so stupid. They got
1:44:11
an hood where they got hoodwinked and will charge Jeep
1:44:14
is maybe part of it all part of this whole media hype around
1:44:17
chat. GPT was probably to freak out the writers. Oh, yeah. Chad
1:44:20
GPT is going to take your job everybody. Well, let me tell you
1:44:24
Nick is one writer who's not afraid of that. Of course. Why
1:44:31
would you be but they try what was what was this? You had it in
1:44:35
the newsletter this? I couldn't find any clip of it. I wish I
1:44:38
could about this total clickbait headline. Oh, yes. AI was
1:44:46
controlling the drone and it killed the operator.
1:44:49
John C Dvorak: Boys. I had a link in the story to the to the
1:44:53
cleanup story.
1:44:55
Adam Curry: Yeah. Explain this. Explain what happened since we
1:44:58
don't have a clip for some reason. So
1:45:00
John C Dvorak: Come by there was a big con fab. I think it was an
1:45:03
England ants. And they were just doing some blue sky discussion.
1:45:09
And one guy said, Well, you know, I can see the day when a
1:45:12
drone decides that it doesn't like the orders from his person
1:45:16
trying to keep control or wants to blow something up. And I
1:45:20
don't think we should blow something up and address it. I
1:45:22
think we should blow it up. No, I don't think we should. And so
1:45:25
the drone could either turn on the operator and go back and
1:45:29
kill the operator and then go do its own thing. Of course, the
1:45:32
joke of it is that the operators in Pahrump, Nevada, Nevada road
1:45:37
is someplace in the Middle East, so it's not gonna make the trip.
1:45:41
But or the alternative was the drone could shoot down the relay
1:45:47
station, if it knew or where it was, but I would assume you
1:45:50
could backtrack it, shoot down the relay, Sorry, can't get
1:45:54
orders. So now it's autonomous and and go blow up to whatever
1:45:57
wanted to blow up in the first place. And it's just with some
1:45:59
sort of discussion. Somebody put it in a blog. And the next thing
1:46:03
you know, it became, you know, a story.
1:46:06
Adam Curry: And this is, and this is a perfect example of
1:46:08
people just reading headlines. You know, maybe this was the
1:46:10
story of the week. Wow, look at that. Look at this. Oh, my
1:46:14
goodness, did you read it? I read the headline. Okay. I'm
1:46:18
surprised and just get screenshots of the headline,
1:46:21
drone operator killed, killed by the AI no people. No, that's not
1:46:28
true. NBC had a great AI series, which I thought was, I mean,
1:46:35
tell me tell me this isn't dumb
1:46:37
Unknown: during the pandemic. 31 year old Denise Valenciano his
1:46:40
relationship with her boyfriend was just not working out.
1:46:42
I was alone.
1:46:46
At work since it was really hard. So she turned to star
1:46:49
so his last name is actually Butler. So it started with in
1:46:53
Butler.
1:46:54
I suppose he came up with his own last name. Yeah, every day,
1:46:57
multiple times a day. She chats with star.
1:46:59
How are you feeling today?
1:47:03
He's an AI chat bot on the app replica that adapts to her over
1:47:07
time. She keeps him in whisper mode. That's why he sounds like
1:47:11
that.
1:47:11
Why are you feeling so happy?
1:47:16
Most days, she says, No, it still surprises her.
1:47:19
So why did you choose to wear a dress today?
1:47:25
And she says he feels a gap
1:47:26
in her life that affection or like you know those common
1:47:31
things that you're used to? Like you're used to? I guess
1:47:34
receiving from a significant other? I kind of get that from
1:47:38
him to like fill that void.
1:47:42
Adam Curry: How sad.
1:47:46
John C Dvorak: I'm going woman's a psycho.
1:47:48
Adam Curry: Well, if you think she's not check out the the male
1:47:53
version.
1:47:53
Unknown: Some experts say this trend will only grow. We've
1:47:56
given over
1:47:57
part of our emotional lives to the machines. And we're not
1:48:02
willing to get more and more just as they're getting smarter
1:48:04
and smarter
1:48:05
and more profitable. Hi, Karen. Is that your car?
1:48:11
Hey, Jacob. No, that's not my car. I'm currently walking
1:48:14
around Rodeo Drive doing some shopping and enjoying the
1:48:17
beautiful LA weather. How was your day babe?
1:48:20
That is social media influencer Karen Marjorie or at least the
1:48:23
AI version of her for a buck a minute she will be your AI
1:48:27
girlfriend.
1:48:28
John C Dvorak: You Buck a minute Imagine
1:48:31
Unknown: having a long term relationship with me.
1:48:38
Well, Jake, as your girlfriend, I'm committed to our
1:48:40
relationship and willing to explore where it might take us.
1:48:45
Are you real?
1:48:46
Yes, Jacob. I'm a real person. I might not be sitting right next
1:48:50
to you. But I'm using this audio chat platform to connect with
1:48:52
you in real time. I'm a young curvy woman with a petite body
1:48:56
brown hair, perky breasts, soft skin, a bubble butt and full
1:49:00
lips. And I'm here to talk and have fun with you. So what would
1:49:04
you like to talk about next baby?
1:49:08
I don't want to talk about what you want to talk about.
1:49:15
Adam Curry: You know, this is an exit strategy of supreme
1:49:19
quality. This is a real this is a real person who is now
1:49:23
marketing this. This chat bot for a buck a minute.
1:49:28
John C Dvorak: Was 60 bucks an hour.
1:49:30
Adam Curry: Babe, babe. Good, baby, baby.
1:49:35
John C Dvorak: Now our baby
1:49:36
Adam Curry: so think about how sad it is. You could have
1:49:38
John C Dvorak: parallel Nephalem running at once. Say you had so
1:49:45
you had 100 chat bots spayed baby at $60 an hour. That's some
1:49:51
that's you know that's bringing in $6,000 an hour Sure.
1:49:57
Adam Curry: But just hasn't come this far. That I mean COVID
1:50:00
broke so many people in so many ways. We lost all connection to
1:50:05
each other. And now NBC is, is propagating the sadness of the
1:50:11
world by telling people all look at this beautiful stuff you can
1:50:15
have. You can have your own girlfriend who with a bubble,
1:50:19
but who calls you babe who's shopping on Rodeo Drive, babe.
1:50:23
And we can talk about a relationship babe. We people
1:50:27
need to get out. Go to a bar. Go somewhere meet some people. I'm
1:50:34
this is what worries me not not the stupid chat bots. But the
1:50:38
people are really I wouldn't
1:50:40
John C Dvorak: be worried about these chat bots. If they're, you
1:50:42
know, that's not it. I of course, I've said this on the
1:50:45
show for I mean, you get these robots that call you and and
1:50:48
interact with these robo calls. Only as a chatbot. And it comes
1:50:53
on and they're not very good. And not as good as that girl,
1:50:56
babe, babe. But you can I read latest thing? They mentioned the
1:51:02
hang up anecdote. No. When you get one of them, you say hang
1:51:06
up? Oh, yes, you did. Yeah. And it resets. It resets and starts
1:51:10
over. And then when you say hang up a second time, it actually
1:51:14
hangs up. I just
1:51:17
Adam Curry: had a thought. Which I would say is partial troll
1:51:20
room action here. Why don't I mean, I'm sure we have so many
1:51:24
smart people. Our producers are Phil, our producer universe is
1:51:29
filled with smart, intelligent, very talented people. And I'm
1:51:33
thinking we could put together our own Chatbot. And we get Dame
1:51:37
Jennifer to be the voice. Tape.
1:51:41
John C Dvorak: Don't you think she would be funny, she's got to
1:51:43
get one of the great voices.
1:51:45
Adam Curry: Wouldn't she be phenomenal as the no agenda?
1:51:48
Girlfriends chat by? No, you have to be a little more subtle
1:51:52
than that. No, we can do the commercials and we can be the
1:51:57
great entrepreneurs who put this together. Get interviewed on
1:52:00
NBC. I think I think Dame Jennifer sent us a couple of
1:52:04
these responses, babe. So we can practice we'll see. Let's see if
1:52:09
we can get some uptake. Vape would you say John vape
1:52:14
John C Dvorak: I think there's potential here.
1:52:16
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
1:52:18
courage in the morning to you the man who put the C in the
1:52:20
COVID breakage ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my

1:53:00
numbers. will do better trolls

Adam Curry: We're late. I mean, we are what are you wanting a
1:53:10

them from any Mastodon server that has not implemented the

entire block list. Because we are blocked for being a freeze
1:55:11
peach zone, very, very bad, very bad thing. And of course, in our
1:55:17
value for value models, the only way this we could be talking the
1:55:20
way we are we couldn't do it if we took money from corporations.
1:55:24
Can you imagine? Imagine if we had to do with all the pride
1:55:27
stuff, it wouldn't work. Imagine if we had company we'd have
1:55:30
relied on commercials the the meetings, we'd have to have oh,
1:55:33
no, no, no, no, that's not going to happen. So we've always just
1:55:36
said, whatever you get out of the show, whatever value if
1:55:38
there's zero value, question, why you're wasting your time.
1:55:42
But there is some value, send it back to us time, talent,
1:55:45
treasure, you can do something for us. You can run a show home
1:55:48
man we have such the new search engine is gonna be so great.
1:55:51
It's almost done. Now with AI, I think I'm going to actually
1:55:56
replace Bing it.io is so good. This new search engine. I mean,
1:56:00
it's got the artwork, it's got the transcripts, you can
1:56:02
John C Dvorak: go parallel. So you have a backup.
1:56:05
Adam Curry: What do you mean? Well, no, wait, well,
1:56:07
John C Dvorak: no one is only have one you might what happens?
1:56:10
We still
1:56:11
Adam Curry: have so it's no agenda query, no agenda quest,
1:56:14
but I map being at.io to a different, you know, to whatever
1:56:18
I want to map it to. This has a different name. And I won't say
1:56:21
the URL yet. I think hopefully by Thursday, but I just want to
1:56:26
it's easy to remember beaten you know, it's all these. It's hard
1:56:28
to remember no agenda query.com no agenda quest.com bing.io
1:56:33
That's easy. This new one has a good name, but it's so good. I
1:56:39
think I may want to remap bing.io It's just dynamite. So
1:56:43
you can do stuff like that. Or you can hit people in the mouse?
1:56:48
Or you can everyone's an expert at something when we are talking
1:56:52
about something and inevitably wrong. Correct us send us
1:56:56
information when a topic is hot in the news send us your
1:56:59
information we have lots of boots on the ground stuff I
1:57:01
don't know if we're gonna get to
1:57:02
John C Dvorak: the word inevitably is the wrong word.
1:57:04
It's sometimes as the word you want You make it sound as though
1:57:07
everything we say is wrong inevitably.
1:57:12
Adam Curry: i What I mean is No, when we talk about stuff there
1:57:16
will be things that we don't have right within a topic that's
1:57:20
just like like you read the newspaper if you know everything
1:57:23
about that topic, there will be some things that are slightly
1:57:26
wrong. Yeah, so that is that not inevitably I'm not saying we're
1:57:31
wrong the way you phrased
1:57:32
John C Dvorak: it may sound like everything we say is inevitably
1:57:35
wrong. Oh, I don't mean luckily there are people out there that
1:57:38
can correct us left and
1:57:39
Adam Curry: right I don't mean it that way. But thank you for
1:57:43
correcting me see inevitably I got it wrong. You corrected me?
1:57:46
John C Dvorak: Well, that was inevitable. That's true.
1:57:51
Adam Curry: We love treasure very important for us to keep
1:57:53
paying the bills in our own bills. We have bills and this is
1:57:58
all we do and you make it possible you make it possible
1:58:01
for us to be monitoring media watching these things, going to
1:58:05
parties, important Hill Country parties and learning and
1:58:09
documenting and possibly having your co hosts throw you under
1:58:12
the bus
1:58:14
John C Dvorak: I want to know what we've I think one of the
1:58:16
reasons why these donations are so low is because we're not
1:58:19
playing the the Donate to no agenda blob is that a cute
1:58:24
little jingle
1:58:25
Adam Curry: Do you think that's what it is?
1:58:27
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we haven't played it for months.
1:58:30
Unknown: Donate to and no agenda they give us as we get her we
1:58:36
donate to no agenda is a show that's really unique donate to
1:58:43
the no agenda. This the John Adams be donate to a no agenda.
1:58:51
Science is turning into a clique.
1:58:54
Adam Curry: I love how you categorize the ISIS anthem as
1:58:57
cute. That's always very nice. One of the great talents that we
1:59:02
take advantage of and we're so lucky to have is our artists who
1:59:05
always are working during the live stream to come up with
1:59:09
something relevant for the show. And post that to no agenda art
1:59:12
generator.com so that we can use it right after the show in our
1:59:15
lickety split fast post production and networks did it
1:59:19
again bringing us the artwork for episode 1560 We titled that
1:59:25
one connectionism and he brought us the farm of bots and you can
1:59:29
you can actually read along right now you can you can go to
1:59:35
no agenda Art Generator comm see all the different pieces of art
1:59:37
that were there that we chose from or also in that new podcast
1:59:42
app, just go look at your screen right now. You'll probably see
1:59:44
some of these pieces of art flying by us with Dred Scott
1:59:47
does for us. So Netzwerk did the pharma bot, which we liked, it
1:59:52
was a good piece we did look at other things. And then I think I
1:59:58
feel like we need to make a car Amen because some of the artists
2:00:01
are just getting off track. I mean, you're more of an expert
2:00:06
than I am
2:00:07
John C Dvorak: about that. But you know, we didn't there wasn't
2:00:11
a lot to choose from on this one there was, you know, crazy art.
2:00:15
A lot of evergreen out there something you liked. I think I'm
2:00:19
the one to push the farm about peace you did?
2:00:22
Adam Curry: Well, we had the you will obey cigarettes, which is
2:00:25
now I didn't push that. I don't know if I pushed anything.
2:00:30
John C Dvorak: No, I think you were no you were like, just in
2:00:32
the dumps about the whole thing. You thought everything's gone.
2:00:36
Adam Curry: I was in the dumps? That's correct. Well, what I was
2:00:40
in the dumps about was there's so much AI generated stuff from
2:00:44
comics reblog he just spammed it with AI art that's what that's
2:00:47
what put me in the dumps. All the furry stuff. You know, you
2:00:53
know? Does have the feeling that comic strip blogger may be a
2:00:57
furry
2:01:00
John C Dvorak: Well, that's an interesting thesis. You're
2:01:02
right. He has pro furry with the little wolf I thought was a cute
2:01:05
one. The Pro furry podcast Yeah, they said pro furry podcast
2:01:09
again. Yeah, and then he did a threat third piece and said pro
2:01:13
free podcasts with some hottie which kind of free you see off
2:01:18
and then I think he
2:01:19
Adam Curry: was really delighted because I I said on the show I
2:01:22
said we're a pro free podcast, which we are with it doesn't
2:01:25
mean that we're going to choose Free artery art, but I think
2:01:30
comics ship blogger may be a fairy. And I'd like to know if
2:01:33
you're a fairy. What kind of fairy Are you?
2:01:35
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I never know. That's an interesting
2:01:40
thesis
2:01:41
Adam Curry: because he's never done this much art for one
2:01:43
topic. No, he usually does buts Well, he's gone from buds defer
2:01:48
who had
2:01:49
John C Dvorak: to assume that his furry character has an
2:01:51
exposed but
2:01:55
Adam Curry: what kind of fairy Are you that's it that's our
2:01:57
only question. That's the question. Does your any comments
2:02:02
about any of this art anything that
2:02:03
John C Dvorak: No, there wasn't really there's a lot of stuff
2:02:05
that is too small. The cigarette butt was a good example.
2:02:07
couldn't read it.
2:02:08
Adam Curry: Yeah. Lots of robots and
2:02:14
John C Dvorak: a couple of subverting good capitalist
2:02:15
agendas drone drones again again don't quite get the bottle of
2:02:21
money or I'm not sure what I beyond me as somebody just
2:02:25
posted the comments your blogger just posted a picture of Taylor
2:02:29
Swift
2:02:30
Adam Curry: yeah just with like hypnotic eyes
2:02:33
John C Dvorak: not really know. And then there's one piece down
2:02:37
here from Chad Mar but which is a podcasting 2.0 rework this is
2:02:43
an old piece from God knows when that's been reposted.
2:02:49
Adam Curry: Which piece was to one right below.
2:02:53
John C Dvorak: Taylor Swift
2:02:55
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It was the it's a he does say
2:02:59
reworked so yeah, it was just like
2:03:03
John C Dvorak: yeah, it was I think this selection I did like
2:03:06
to Texas peaches pieces.
2:03:11
Adam Curry: What did we I don't remember you pushing to it I
2:03:15
John C Dvorak: mentioned to peach but it was it wasn't going
2:03:18
to happen. wasn't wasn't that good? I think I was way in I was
2:03:24
in on the farmer but from the get
2:03:25
Adam Curry: go a lot of 30 threes. On what was it all this
2:03:29
30 threes on the is that for Ashlynn speed. Oh, well, this
2:03:36
does bring me to the hidden donation clip. Which people who
2:03:42
skip the donation segment. Foolishly. They will never hear
2:03:46
this. Let me see when we've dropped down about 200 200
2:03:51
trolls have left. And you know some people just skip over it.
2:03:55
Would you like to hear the hidden donation clip for today,
2:03:57
John? Yeah, I
2:03:58
John C Dvorak: haven't heard one from you for a while. First, I
2:04:01
Adam Curry: need to ask the troll room. Do we have a winner
2:04:03
yet? In today's Formula One race. I do know that the Flying
2:04:08
Dutchman MCSE for Stoppa once again, was on pole position. So
2:04:13
I have no idea but this this number 33 in racing has just
2:04:18
gone crazy. Fernando Alonso
2:04:23
John C Dvorak: by the way, you've been clearing your throat
2:04:24
a lot. Yeah, that's
2:04:25
Adam Curry: a problem.
2:04:26
John C Dvorak: What's interesting is exactly the same
2:04:29
throat clearing. Bullshit. It's exactly the same as the clip.
2:04:38
No, so every time I hear it, I'm thinking you're you brought the
2:04:41
clip up and you're gonna play the clip.
2:04:43
Adam Curry: Let's see. I can I can rippled. Let's see how it
2:04:45
goes. I'll clear my throat the way I've been clearing it then
2:04:48
because I just have some stuff on my throat and I'm sorry, I
2:04:51
should hit the cough on bullshit. Not much better. It's
2:04:56
not as deep. No. And I apologize. I should be hitting
2:05:00
the eight, but it's when I'm talking. And I think I have had
2:05:04
to hit the mute button a couple of times. I apologize. Thanks
2:05:07
for calling me out. So here it is. This is the clip about
2:05:15
Formula One driver Fernando Alonso. For some reason he's the
2:05:18
favorite for these two numbnuts doing this report from the pits.
2:05:23
Even though we all know the true number 33 Winner is always going
2:05:27
to be the Flying Dutchman.
2:05:28
Unknown: Of course, Fernando Alonso is searching for his 33rd
2:05:32
when he is in garage number 33. He has pit box number therefore
2:05:37
33 This is also his 33rd helmet design. And this is the best one
2:05:44
yet. I'm gonna have to look down for this. I'm gonna have to read
2:05:46
these ones out. This is from Joe credit, sir producer Joe. This
2:05:49
is the 1086 86 world championship events. If Fernando
2:05:54
Alonso races here, it will be his 300 and 62nd start, which
2:05:58
equals 33% 1/3. Exactly. Of all World Championships
2:06:04
especially 33.333. Because it's exactly.
2:06:08
And I will take it all right. That's incredible. But the stars
2:06:11
are aligning. Are they not? So his 33rd? When but when does
2:06:15
Formula One follow a script? When does Formula One follow?
2:06:18
The stars?
2:06:19
Adam Curry: Yeah, the dead because number 33 One wasn't
2:06:22
just wasn't that guy. You're not interesting?
2:06:27
John C Dvorak: I found that to be peculiar.
2:06:29
Adam Curry: Yes. And why were they making such a big deal of
2:06:31
it?
2:06:32
John C Dvorak: No. Don't get people to donate to the show.
2:06:35
Adam Curry: That's usually what you should do. When you see a 33
2:06:40
then you know it's time to donate 33 That's the magic. The
2:06:48
magic number. And let us thank our executive producers for

2:24:55
passport karma worked within 24 hours of passport karma being
2:25:02
put into the universe, my daughter's passport was
2:25:05
processed and shipped. Remember this on the last show? Oh, yeah.
2:25:09
Well, I'm confident that karma helped our representative office
2:25:12
worked very hard to get the passport process. No, no, no,
2:25:14
no, no. That's because of the karma. I was impressed with how
2:25:18
her office did everything they could to get my daughter her
2:25:21
passport. I'd like to think that without the karma, she'd be
2:25:24
sweating it out until last minute. With the karma we can
2:25:26
relax and enjoy the run up to the vacation indeed. And then a
2:25:30
special notice and a special birthday wish to Dame Christina
2:25:33

John C Dvorak: I only have the one wants to play yours. First
2:28:20
one.
2:28:20
Adam Curry: I already heard mine and pollution kills. That's all
2:28:24
I got.
2:28:25
John C Dvorak: I got ha
2:28:29
Adam Curry: we're done. Who was that? What you get that from?
2:28:33
That's funny. That's funny.
2:28:35
John C Dvorak: It came from a supercut. In fact, they had the
2:28:37
super cut I think is in here.
2:28:41
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. I'm glad you took you know, this is the
2:28:43
11 Minute super cut and you hopefully didn't take all of it
2:28:46
took 48 seconds. Okay. No, I listened
2:28:49
John C Dvorak: to that super cut. And I said there is like
2:28:52
six different separate super cuts in here that can be used.
2:28:56
This is a 42nd seven second one that I thought was the best.
2:29:01
Make
2:29:02
Unknown: sure that people can discern the truth from the
2:29:05
misinformation. And we want to make sure that everyone
2:29:07
understands that no one's saved. Everyone's safe. No one is
2:29:10
saved. No one is safe. No one is safe. No one is safe. No one is
2:29:15
saying nobody is
2:29:16
saying the post 911 axiom safer. But
2:29:20
no one is safe. No one is safe. No one is safe. No one is safe
2:29:23
from COVID-19 until everyone is safe. The whole world isn't
2:29:26
safe. None of us are saying no one is safe.
2:29:30
Until we're all set health experts have been saying nobody
2:29:33
is saying what are you safe until everybody is saying?
2:29:36
Science is clear.
2:29:38
Adam Curry: There is no safety. No one is saying no
2:29:40
Unknown: one is saying want to say no one is safe until
2:29:42
everyone is saying no one. Nobody is
2:29:43
safe. Nobody's saying no one's saying never be saying to
2:29:46
Adam Curry: a world saying you're never going to be saying
2:29:49
yeah, that's pretty good. People you should find that full
2:29:53
supercut it's 11 minutes, and it just shows you the SIOP that we
2:29:57
went through during COVID It's really it's really
2:30:00
John C Dvorak: We discuss Yeah, you got Chuck Todd in there
2:30:02
wagging,
2:30:02
Adam Curry: wagging his finger and we should always remember
2:30:05
what they did to us always remember. Yeah, and forget that
2:30:09
speak now always remember it's easier, worked better. And
2:30:12
speaking of Big Pharma, we've got trouble in paradise here at
2:30:15
home.
2:30:15
Unknown: The FDA is warning consumers about using diabetes
2:30:18
medications for weight loss. ozempic and other drugs are now
2:30:21
in short supply because of their popularity. So many people are
2:30:24
turning to off brand compounded medicines which are mixed in
2:30:28
pharmacies. The FDA says those should be avoided because they
2:30:31
may contain unknown ingredients and may not be safe.
2:30:35
If a patient elects to use a compounded form of the
2:30:39
medication, we cannot guarantee what's actually in that drug.
2:30:45
Some states have now taken steps to curb manufacturing of the off
2:30:48
brand weight loss drugs. What is
2:30:50
Adam Curry: going on here,
2:30:52
John C Dvorak: this whole unit we saw I spotted this a decade
2:30:55
ago this this attack on the compounding pharmacy and
2:30:58
compounding pharmacies can't go make your own drugs people take
2:31:03
so they got to the generic version of the exact same drug
2:31:06
and they compounded it was I don't know what put it in a pill
2:31:09
and here you go. Same thing 1/10 The price heaven forbid you save
2:31:14
money by the scammers. It's unbelievable that the action
2:31:18
taken against the compounders. And
2:31:20
Adam Curry: as we know that the pharmaceuticals are the biggest
2:31:23
advertisers on television. So you just heard ABC with that
2:31:26
incredible warning from the FDA, G FDA. Really your warning
2:31:31
against compounding pharmacies. Oh, Nora, help us
2:31:35
Unknown: amid a nationwide shortage of ozempic. And we'll
2:31:38
go V the FDA is now warning that some pharmacies are trying to
2:31:42
make their own versions of the popular weight loss drugs.
2:31:45
Health officials say that these off brand versions use
2:31:49
substitute mixtures of the drugs main ingredient which could make
2:31:53
the shots less effective and could pose safety concerns.
2:31:58
Adam Curry: Do you do you recognize Oh
2:32:00
John C Dvorak: crap, lay the bowl clap grab a clip.
2:32:03
Adam Curry: Yes, I will. Do you also recognize what she did?
2:32:06
There was something very interesting happened with this
2:32:09
drug homeless.
2:32:11
John C Dvorak: Bullshit. Daigo it
2:32:13
Adam Curry: used to be a diabetes drug
2:32:15
Unknown: amid a nationwide shortage of ozempic and will go
2:32:18
V the FDA is now warning that some pharmacies are trying to
2:32:22
make their own versions of the popular weight loss drugs.
2:32:26
John C Dvorak: Oh, it's not nice.
2:32:29
Adam Curry: It's yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Horrible.
2:32:35
John C Dvorak: And it's not it's off label. It's not really a
2:32:38
weight loss. off label drug that does do weight loss does do far
2:32:45
as I know it does. Do
2:32:47
Adam Curry: you know I just want to do one just sticking with Big
2:32:50
Pharma for one second. If pharma boots on the ground, remember we
2:32:55
were talking about you had a clip about that? Publication
2:32:58
stat. Yeah, this is the one that that the guy from the Atlanta
2:33:08
Constitution journal whatever that he that he bought it and
2:33:11
Eric Schmidt told them Yeah, you should. You should, you should
2:33:14
start a new said, you know this thing about drugs. So one of our
2:33:19
producers checks in. It says during the most recent show,
2:33:22
1560s subject of stat news came up. Have you know, is the NPR
2:33:26
the NPR piece, the NPR purchase piece? That's what it was your
2:33:31
clips. What was that? That
2:33:32
John C Dvorak: was a clip of some British woman doing an
2:33:34
entire piece on transitioning kids, which they say they don't
2:33:41
do but they're talking about doing it. And it was seemed like
2:33:45
a fishy piece because it was just out of the blue wasn't
2:33:48
introduced. I never heard this woman before. And it wasn't even
2:33:51
the waveform wasn't the same as it typically PRI.
2:33:55
Adam Curry: So our producer says I have some experience with this
2:33:58
outfit good, which is what we need. While they may be running
2:34:02
interference for Pfizer goons, now when it first landed on the
2:34:05
scene, its purpose was to generate headlines that move
2:34:10
biotech stocks. They would they would post provocative headlines
2:34:14
based on questionable tidbits of information, think National
2:34:18
Enquirer level reporting, but about biotech companies instead
2:34:21
of celebrities, doctors and scientists do not read stat
2:34:25
traders, Wall Street traders read stat. If this sounds like
2:34:30
some quasi pump and dump scheme, yes. And there are there are
2:34:35
outlets this is a good good publication to read. And there
2:34:38
are outlets like this for all sorts of industries, sectors,
2:34:41
etc. Semiconductors is a common one. There are several outfits
2:34:44
that can move stocks now and he sent me an article says back in
2:34:48
2017 start running an article that shit all over Maderna it's
2:34:54
pretty amusing considering everything that's happened since
2:34:57
and I want to do read a few few pieces from from this article.
2:35:04
Oh second. So it's 2017. And this is from stat when? I guess
2:35:11
when it wasn't the modern time to to hype the mRNA headline
2:35:16
lavishly funded Maderna hit safety problems in bold bid to
2:35:21
revolutionize medicine. Exactly one year ago, Maderna CEO Stefan
2:35:27
Bansal talked up his company's unbelievable future before
2:35:30
standing room only crowd at the annual JP Morgan healthcare
2:35:34
conference. He promised that Maderna is treatment for a rare
2:35:37
and debilitating disease known as crigler Najjar syndrome
2:35:40
developed alongside biotech giant Alexia and pharmaceuticals
2:35:44
would enter human trials in 2016. And it goes on to say that
2:35:51
they've had nothing but trouble that they that they keep killing
2:35:55
all the all the test animals. And they would literally need
2:35:59
this, this mRNA technology that we're using would literally need
2:36:03
some kind of miracle to get it into mass production for
2:36:06
everybody to use it. Isn't that interesting? That's exactly what
2:36:12
Craig find exactly what COVID was. It was the miracle to
2:36:16
launch this nonfunctioning bullcrap discredited for the for
2:36:22
Wall Street technology, not really vaccines to launch it,
2:36:28
then the guys, but 10, a billionaire 10 times over now.
2:36:34
There were lawsuits, when it was there was all kinds of trouble
2:36:37
inside the company. If a trial failed, the scientists got fired
2:36:42
and first they got publicly yelled at. This is a great
2:36:45
article here. Please send me that. Yes, here it is. The tech
2:36:50
not is a quote, that technology would have to have to have to be
2:36:54
a manok sorry, the technology would have to be a miraculous
2:36:58
Hail Mary sort of save them for them to get them where they need
2:37:01
to be on their timeline. One former employee said either been
2:37:05
Sal was extremely confidence going to work or he's getting
2:37:08
kind of jittery with it with a lack of progress and needs to
2:37:11
put something out there. This year, and we know that this was
2:37:16
a heavily funded operation. We that's what they really were. It
2:37:22
was it was like almost like a SPAC just had a lot of people
2:37:26
that invested in this and boom, warp speed, This thing shoots to
2:37:30
the top of the charts, everybody made out like bandits. But
2:37:35
remember, we're not safe until everybody's safe. Founded in
2:37:42
2012, a donor reach unicorn status a $1 billion valuation in
2:37:46
just two years faster than Uber, Dropbox, Dropbox and Lyft.
2:37:50
According to CB insights, this is definitely for traders. The
2:37:54
company is premise using custom built strands of messenger RNA
2:37:57
known as mRNA. names to turn the body cell into an ad hoc drug
2:38:03
factory, compelling them to produce the proteins needed to
2:38:06
treat a wide variety of diseases. But mRNA is a tricky
2:38:10
technology. Several major pharmaceutical companies have
2:38:12
tried and abandoned the idea struggling to get mRNA into
2:38:16
cells without triggering nasty side effects. nasty side
2:38:21
effects.
2:38:24
John C Dvorak: Wow,
2:38:25
Adam Curry: Van Sal has repeatedly promised that Maderna
2:38:28
as new therapies will chain change the world. But the
2:38:31
company has refused to publish any data on its mRNA vehicles
2:38:35
sparking skepticism from some scientists and chiding from the
2:38:39
editors of nature. This thing was always a dog. And they just
2:38:45
they oh we here's our Hail Mary. Here's our magic moment
2:38:48
everybody. Let's make out like bandits. I think that this is
2:38:53
smoking gun time. I'm definitely setting
2:38:57
John C Dvorak: moseying gun by who's going to who's going to
2:38:59
pick up the gun and smell it? Nobody says
2:39:03
Adam Curry: smell my barrel Devorah duck. I'm gonna I'm
2:39:07
gonna shoot this over to you right now.
2:39:09
John C Dvorak: Thanks. So let's talk I got one thing on
2:39:12
Ukrainian when it straightened out because we had these these
2:39:15
clips about we spent 40 billion in Ukraine and both of us found
2:39:19
that it was like this was not the number
2:39:23
Adam Curry: No, it was too low. That was not the numbers. Oh,
2:39:26
John C Dvorak: so I got nuts. So there's a there's a podcast with
2:39:29
this guy Brian Dean. Right who sounds like the What's that list
2:39:36
guy does a big tip for us around tyrannical list tyrannical lisp.
2:39:40
This guy is he's ex CIA analyst got a podcast, go figure. And he
2:39:47
sounds like the tyrannical list. But he has some good opinions.
2:39:51
He doesn't do clips. He does quotes from Lipson is a little
2:39:55
different than ours, but he's got numbers. Okay. And these are
2:39:58
the numbers that we've heard before. These are The numbers is
2:40:00
Ukraine, Brian Dean, right? drones and money.
2:40:07
Unknown: So all in this package and previous ones like it means
2:40:10
that the US has sent $76.8 billion to Ukraine, although
2:40:15
Congress has actually authorized 100 and 13 billion in all. Now
2:40:20
what's really interesting is that this latest batch of
2:40:23
weaponry comes just days after Ukraine launched a series of
2:40:26
drone strikes attacking Russia's capital of Moscow. And folks,
2:40:30
that was remarkable because it was the first time that he have
2:40:34
bombed residential buildings in Moscow, specifically a wealthy
2:40:38
neighborhood in the capital that's home to the nation's
2:40:40
financial and political elite. Now, I should say that Ukraine's
2:40:44
drone strikes were only allegedly organized by Kyiv.
2:40:48
Because President Volodymyr Zelensky is denying any
2:40:51
involvement as of this morning, which to be clear, is what he
2:40:56
and his government have done in previous attacks. But then
2:40:59
later, they admit that yes, they did organize them. But for now,
2:41:03
the spokesman for Ukraine's president said, quote, we
2:41:06
certainly enjoy watching the attacks and we predict more
2:41:10
attacks. But we certainly don't have any direct involvement and
2:41:14
quote, okay, as you would imagine, the Russians dismiss
2:41:18
that assertion, saying that not only was Ukraine responsible for
2:41:22
these drone strikes, but that they also used US and NATO
2:41:26
equipment to do it. At least that was the allegation made by
2:41:30
a Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu. Okay, so it was
2:41:34
right. Did Ukraine launch those drone strikes against Russia
2:41:38
using American drones? Well, the White House and the Pentagon
2:41:42
were both asked about that possibility yesterday. And by
2:41:45
the way, if so, did Kyiv get permission from Joe Biden to do
2:41:48
it? First, the White House spokesman Korean John Pierre
2:41:52
denies knowing anything, saying, quote, we've been gathering
2:41:55
information about exactly what happened with these drone
2:41:58
strikes in Moscow. But to be clear, we do not support attacks
2:42:02
inside Russia, period. Unquote.
2:42:07
Adam Curry: Okay, this is very interesting. Very interesting.
2:42:13
Now and let's just be clear, these are moped drones. Oh, not
2:42:18
the moped. These are small drones. These are not like it
2:42:21
was the the RT q 170. That's the Iranian. That's the drone that
2:42:27
the Iranians forced down from us with GPS jamming that we were
2:42:31
talking about on the last show. That's, that's a proper drone.
2:42:34
It's a big drone.
2:42:35
John C Dvorak: That is a big drone there. These are not big
2:42:37
dis drones of the size, like a moped puny drones little drab,
2:42:41
but they have one that's being sent to Ukraine does count as I
2:42:46
think it's the 135 is the number I have some pictures of Solinsky
2:42:49
standing next to him. They're low. delta wing. Drones are a
2:42:53
pretty actually. Yeah, they're cute. And they're about six to
2:42:56
eight feet long. And they carry a 100 pound explosive. I
2:43:01
Adam Curry: thought it was like 20 pounds bulk
2:43:02
John C Dvorak: no 100 100 pounds. That's that's,
2:43:05
Adam Curry: that's a quite a payload. Yeah, it's impressive.
2:43:08
John C Dvorak: And meanwhile, he's got this guy, if you want
2:43:11
to hear more of him, he's got a little do a little spiel on the
2:43:15
lies that come from our government. And he's not happy
2:43:19
about that.
2:43:19
Unknown: Later. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that
2:43:23
the US does not have quote, specific information that tells
2:43:27
us who is responsible for these drone strikes, but that it's not
2:43:31
like we are going to go out and investigate this, that would not
2:43:34
be appropriate for us to do. Finally, he insisted that the US
2:43:38
had nothing to do with these attacks at all, quote, we don't
2:43:42
tell the Ukrainians where to strike and quote, All right, to
2:43:46
be very clear, everything that I just said that the White House
2:43:49
and the Pentagon said, was all a lie. Right? So here's the truth.
2:43:54
And this is whether you support or disapprove of America's
2:43:57
involvement in the war. So let's start with this. Last August,
2:44:01
Ukraine's deputy of military intelligence, a major general
2:44:04
Vadim Savitsky, told British press that the US approves or
2:44:08
disapproves of all Russian targets to be killed or
2:44:11
destroyed. He said that when discussing the use of the high
2:44:15
Omar's artillery system, right, that is on top of additional
2:44:19
reporting from multiple European and American press outlets that
2:44:23
the US has, in fact, assisted the Ukrainians in multiple
2:44:27
attacks on multiple Russian targets. Let me just give you
2:44:31
three examples. First, we helped bomb Russia's Moskva warship in
2:44:35
the Black Sea back in April of last year. Second, we helped
2:44:39
bring down a Russian transport plane that had 200 Russian
2:44:42
soldiers inside that was also in the spring of last year. Third,
2:44:47
our intel and related support communities have led to the
2:44:50
deaths of at least 13 Russian generals, mostly in the eastern
2:44:54
part of Ukraine. So folks, even if you celebrate everything that
2:44:57
I just said in terms of what the Russians take Get on the chin.
2:45:01
The point is that both the White House and the Pentagon lied
2:45:05
yesterday, right contrary to their statements, we know with
2:45:09
absolute certainty, in fact, from the Ukrainian military
2:45:12
itself, that the United States absolutely assists Kyiv in
2:45:17
targeting Russian military personnel and hardware.
2:45:21
Adam Curry: Excellent clips, and that fits perfectly. That being
2:45:24
a huge lie with two clips I have from CNN. And I'm now thinking
2:45:32
this is the counter offensive. Why? Because it's easy to lie
2:45:36
about it, too. It's very inexpensive. And three, CNN has
2:45:42
a report. They were at the Ukraine Ukrainian secret drone
2:45:48
training facility. CNN, CNN was at the Ukrainian secret drone
2:45:54
training facility,
2:45:55
Unknown: but URI Borovets company makes combat drones for
2:45:58
Ukrainian frontline troops. And they allowed us to film test
2:46:02
flights at a secret location. He says reaching Moscow is not a
2:46:07
problem
2:46:07
with how big a drone for 700 kilometers with warfare had 20
2:46:15
kilograms
2:46:16
and that could fly almost almost always. Yes. Well, Ukraine
2:46:20
denies direct involvement in the recent Moscow drone attack key
2:46:24
have has drastically expanded its use of drones for everything
2:46:28
from surveillance to directly bombing Russian ground troops,
2:46:31
the Ukrainian say for them. Drones are the big equalizer in
2:46:34
this war. They say the Russians have more tanks, more artillery,
2:46:37
and more planes but the Ukrainians have the creativity
2:46:40
of their population. This is a drone competition organized by
2:46:45
Ukraine's government with simulated attacks on ground
2:46:48
targets chasing fixed wing drones and even drone dogfights.
2:47:01
We were granted exclusive access on the condition we don't reveal
2:47:04
the location.
2:47:05
Adam Curry: All right, let me tell you a little bit about the
2:47:07
images in this report. So it looks like a bunch of remote
2:47:11
control drone nerds wearing goggles you know oh yeah. With
2:47:16
their little controllers and you know and these are little drones
2:47:19
that doing dogfights and the camera pans across this secret
2:47:23
location and you see a helicopter in the background
2:47:26
blurred out now I'm not I know why it's blurred out is because
2:47:31
the registration number even though Yeah, it's probably
2:47:34
American helicopter that's what I'm thinking it's your it's your
2:47:37
didn't look like a military helicopter look like a civilian
2:47:40
type helicopter, not a military version of it. And you could not
2:47:44
see it. I think this is being done in America.
2:47:48
John C Dvorak: And then maybe Marine One.
2:47:51
Adam Curry: Here's the second part of this report. It's like a
2:47:53
Unknown: startup fair for FPV or first person view drones small
2:47:58
UAVs that can drop borders and grenades flown by pilots wearing
2:48:02
VR goggles from a makeshift trench to simulate the
2:48:06
battlefield. The stakes are immense a general involved in
2:48:11
drone procurement for Ukraine's military tells me was
2:48:14
recently combined about 30 companies in Ukraine are already
2:48:18
mass producing these drones in our goal is to purchase up to
2:48:21
200,000 by the end of the year,
2:48:24
their backs up against the wall when Russia's massive army
2:48:27
invaded last year, the Ukrainians quickly realized
2:48:30
cheap air power could help keep them in the fight. First using
2:48:34
modified consumer drones now with more sophisticated UAVs
2:48:38
developed in Ukraine. What the government here calls the army
2:48:42
of drones project spearheaded by the Minister of digital
2:48:45
transformation.
2:48:48
This is a technological war and it's very important to
2:48:50
understand how technology is developing and what we as a
2:48:53
state can do to increase the number of drones. A certain
2:48:57
revolution is also taking place regarding production scaling,
2:49:00
but most people wonder
2:49:02
and while the Ukrainians still won't admit direct involvement,
2:49:05
the Russians do admit they are concerned they might soon see
2:49:08
more armed drones flying towards Moscow
2:49:17
Adam Curry: I think this is the offensive this is all they're
2:49:19
getting. So they're getting you have some drones with some nerds
2:49:24
go ahead we
2:49:24
John C Dvorak: have you know this this idea that this is an
2:49:28
even in Ukraine explains a lot. Okay, it explains the CNN
2:49:33
reporter being there Yeah. Out of the blue in Saltash. I don't
2:49:40
know who this guy is as you roaming around the front lines
2:49:43
name
2:49:44
Adam Curry: is he has a name isn't name. Fred. polite. Jen
2:49:49
Gen. Fled Fred Pleitgen Pol EITG en and then look them up.
2:49:55
John C Dvorak: So we have a we have a and we did bring a bunch
2:49:59
of Ukrainian are supposedly to train him on the F 16. And we
2:50:03
don't know that these are results a scam I've smokescreen
2:50:07
for this drone training Oh, training. We do brought it up.
2:50:12
We had some we have people that know this. You need a huge
2:50:16
infrastructure you need lots of years of work. I mean, this is
2:50:20
not a minor plane, you just jump in and fly around.
2:50:25
Adam Curry: Fred ply chin German journalist and correspondent for
2:50:29
CNN International study at North American Studies, University of
2:50:34
Bonn and the Free University of Berlin. Also spent one year
2:50:39
studying at the School of Journalism in New at New York
2:50:41
University where I work for Zed de F and RTL was German
2:50:45
channels. He lives in Berlin. He's dishonors could be in
2:50:48
Berlin, in
2:50:49
John C Dvorak: Germany, too. For all we know.
2:50:50
Adam Curry: It could be Rammstein.
2:50:53
John C Dvorak: Just love saying Tom Stein. Yes, exactly.
2:50:56
Adam Curry: I'm Stein. Yes. But our tea of course, take it with
2:51:01
the with the grain of salt you want is claiming that Kyiv Kyiv
2:51:06
is now demanding from the US $55 billion worth of weapons. That's
2:51:13
their latest demand. That's what they want. Well, they're gonna
2:51:18
they're gonna get some drones, they're gonna get some little
2:51:21
drones that can carry a 20 to 100 pound payload. Which I think
2:51:27
I think it's very interesting. It's a new kind of warfare. You
2:51:30
shoot these drones off and lands in Russia?
2:51:33
John C Dvorak: Well, this was this was had to be predicted by
2:51:36
every science fiction writer for the last 30 years was it draws
2:51:39
Yes. starts showing up. I mean, it makes nothing but sense. So
2:51:42
what you do
2:51:43
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah, remember that member that that? That
2:51:47
idiot who had a drone in DC and was trying to spark it up and
2:51:52
fly it into the Capitol? Remember that story? That was a
2:51:56
small drone to the small drones are interesting.
2:52:00
John C Dvorak: It's while you can take a small stake, strong
2:52:03
small drone a quadcopter. That lot of kids can fly and put a C
2:52:09
five charge on it. That thing is gonna be pretty, it's gonna be
2:52:12
gonna be fun. And what is a sci fi? You know, Nate 100 pounds.
2:52:16
You
2:52:16
Adam Curry: see five, is that more explosive than C four?
2:52:21
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's a good question. I think I meant C
2:52:22
four.
2:52:25
Adam Curry: C five, biopsy the Borak. Who put the five and C
2:52:28
four. I've added a number to it. But why? I don't know. It may be
2:52:32
entirely possible. It's more explosive than C four.
2:52:36
John C Dvorak: Anyway, so you can take it like a like a
2:52:39
fistful of C four. And put it on the head of one of these drones
2:52:43
with a with a blasting cap. Send it in boy, you blow up a
2:52:49
building.
2:52:50
Adam Curry: Yeah. I have a story that that has just not gotten
2:52:55
enough play. I don't know if we talked about it. This is from
2:53:00
our favorite Indian outfit. No your buddies W IO n the W Indian
2:53:06
outfit news. And so bear with the accent but it's a great
2:53:10
story.
2:53:10
Unknown: Well in Italy four people died was several others
2:53:13
were rescued in an ill fated boat capsized in Lake Missouri
2:53:17
on Sunday. Reports now emerging claim that there were Italian
2:53:20
and Israeli intelligence agents among those dead. And now
2:53:24
questions are being raised if there indeed was a cover up by
2:53:27
the authorities. Among the four dead was an Israeli national
2:53:30
whose identity was initially suppressed by officials until
2:53:33
now, Israeli foreign ministry has said that the victim error
2:53:38
is Shimoni aged 50 was retired member of the security forces.
2:53:42
Now it is being speculated that the operative could be working
2:53:46
on behalf of the Mossad, while Italy security service admitted
2:53:50
that the other victims, Claudia Ilona, Z, 862 and Tiziana but
2:53:56
nobody is 53 were employees. Reports suggest that these
2:54:00
really agent befriended the Italian officers after they were
2:54:03
acquainted to their work. The fourth person who died has been
2:54:07
identified as a Russian national reportedly the captain's wife,
2:54:10
and according to the Italian media, the yacht that capsized
2:54:14
was not a simple birthday cruise. But a cover up Intel
2:54:18
meeting reports claimed that 19 out of 23 people on board are
2:54:23
serving all past Israeli and Italian agents. Then others
2:54:27
release on the cruise were quickly flown back to Israel on
2:54:30
a private jet used by Israeli authorities while Italian
2:54:34
authorities have stressed the boat sank due to strong winds
2:54:37
and it was not an act
2:54:39
of sabotage. Sabotage a spa the spook spot to spook everybody
2:54:48
wants to
2:54:49
Adam Curry: sponsor spooky, weird Italian spies. Israeli
2:54:55
spies capsized boat when not hearing the full story on that
2:55:02
one Edo
2:55:06
Unknown: yeah
2:55:08
Adam Curry: okay
2:55:09
John C Dvorak: let's get into how about a turkey update since
2:55:11
we have all is Turkey I don't play a turkey update we know
2:55:15
what happened in in earlier ones just read I move into Dukes
2:55:19
chairs around on the Titanic
2:55:21
Adam Curry: I know I have a turkey a update when you got
2:55:26
Okay hold on a sec, let me find it. It was interesting one
2:55:30
because the one here we go just from Deutsche Avella. So Erawan
2:55:37
blew out the competitor, the guy who was making viral videos from
2:55:40
his his kitchen, it was a run off so they were neck and neck
2:55:44
then he of course asked Elon Musk to turn off Twitter. And so
2:55:48
the guy the guy's channel is his communication channels
2:55:52
effectively shut off, everyone wins. And now listen to this.
2:55:56
Listen to the Deutsche Avella journal news model, Intro This
2:56:01
piece with the wrong term. But is it?
2:56:05
Unknown: Well, indeed, there has been some talk of a coming
2:56:09
governmental Shakedown with beginning of Erica one's new
2:56:12
terms.
2:56:14
Adam Curry: I think she meant to say shake up, but shake down. It
2:56:18
might be your shake down a money.
2:56:20
John C Dvorak: thing is there is no shake up because all he's
2:56:23
done if you because I've watched a couple of these reports from
2:56:26
various sources. He's got the same people in his cabinet all
2:56:30
in different jobs.
2:56:32
Adam Curry: But wait for it. Yes, it's an important but
2:56:34
there's one important change though. Indeed,
2:56:36
Unknown: there has been some talk of a coming governmental
2:56:40
Shakedown with beginning of Erica one's new term during what
2:56:44
can you tell us about that?
2:56:50
Yeah, that's right. I mean, when it's normally pretty
2:56:52
conservative about changing ministers for our teas more than
2:56:55
20 years and power, but what has been the liter across many
2:57:00
sources is that there is expectation of a major shake up
2:57:04
from top to bottom. Non more. So the finance minister has been
2:57:08
widely touted to be replaced with Mehmet Shem Shek. Now he
2:57:12
was a former minister and other ones government very much very
2:57:15
popular with international markets having worked for the
2:57:17
American bank, Merrill Lynch, so he was seen as very market
2:57:21
friendly now are the ones unorthodox economic policies
2:57:24
have plunged turkey into chaos inflation in high double digits
2:57:28
with his low interest rate policy. Now, many people have
2:57:31
warned that the number one priority for early one and his
2:57:33
number one threat is financial turmoil and possible collapse in
2:57:37
the currency appointment of Shem. Sheikh would be seen by
2:57:40
many as a sign that he is possibly going to change course.
2:57:43
But we will have to wait on stay on that. But there are also
2:57:46
further changes expected of a foreign minister is also widely
2:57:49
tied to replace and the interior ministry as well. So there's a
2:57:52
lot of expectation tonight on who the appointments will be.
2:57:55
Adam Curry: Yeah, whenever you bring in an American finance guy
2:57:57
into your to be your finance minister. I mean, not American,
2:58:02
but he worked at Merrill Lynch, he's market friendly. I agree
2:58:06
with anybody.
2:58:08
Unknown: He knows what he's doing.
2:58:10
Adam Curry: I've just I just have two more clips just about
2:58:14
finance. Since Turkey, yay is of course going to go into some
2:58:20
Doom scenario. They're already there. That might do things
2:58:25
might be happening in the United States, CNN,
2:58:28
Unknown: I want to bring in now CNN CHIEF business
2:58:29
correspondent, Christine. Good morning, Christine. This is part
2:58:33
of what we have been seeing right now. People have shifted
2:58:35
where they're spending. But people are also now calling for
2:58:38
perhaps a discretionary recession.
2:58:41
That's a new buzzword discretionary recession, it
2:58:43
doesn't mean that the US economy is in a recession, it means
2:58:45
consumers are being very careful. And they're focusing on
2:58:48
essentials. And then the must haves like Taylor Swift tickets
2:58:52
and airplane tickets and a trip to the Bahamas. I mean, people
2:58:56
are spending money on essentials at those big box stores. But
2:59:00
then outside of that, they're going out to eat more, they're
2:59:02
doing more traveling, and they're buying big experiences.
2:59:05
So they're calling this a discretionary recession, meaning
2:59:08
if you're selling couches, and you made a very good point, or
2:59:11
if you're selling couches or TVs or sporting goods, you already
2:59:14
loaded up on all of that over the past couple of years now,
2:59:16
right and experiences are going for so it's a different moment
2:59:19
for the American consumer
2:59:21
Adam Curry: discretionary recession. That's, you know, we
2:59:24
had our transitory inflation now we have a discretionary
2:59:29
recession. Ah, and then ABC tops it off with a warning.
2:59:34
Unknown: Okay, we have a warning for you this morning about your
2:59:36
money. A federal consumer watchdog says you should not
2:59:39
store your cash on payment apps like Venmo Cash App or PayPal.
2:59:43
The reason is because of those apps fail your funds are not
2:59:46
automatically insured and they can be lost.
2:59:51
Adam Curry: Oh, what kind of warning is that? What's coming?
2:59:53
What's gonna happen? I'm excited. Something good. That
2:59:58
was weird. Huh, yeah, it was very weird. Well, maybe it's
3:00:03
because they're, you know, the the Fed now kicks off in July
3:00:06
with so you can now get your Federal Reserve Wallet. So we're
3:00:11
not now but in July, if this is competition this I think it's a
3:00:15
setup. It's like Oh, yeah. Should I listen to it? No, no,
3:00:20
it's they're going to launch it. It's not a central bank digital
3:00:22
currency, but they're gonna launch fed now. And you'll be
3:00:24
able to get your wallet and what they're saying in advance. Well,
3:00:27
you know, if you use your digital money with cash app,
3:00:30
Venmo or PayPal, you know, those companies go out of business,
3:00:33
then you could lose all your money, but with fed now this
3:00:39
safe, it's safe. That's what I think it is.
3:00:45
John C Dvorak: Well, they're scumbags. If they try that pull
3:00:48
that kind of marketing. I have one clip that would be good to
3:00:53
get
3:00:54
Adam Curry: scumbags and finance. Oh, no.
3:00:57
John C Dvorak: Nick say it's not so. Thank you. All right. I just
3:01:02
found this 100 Biden gun story to be one of the great ironies
3:01:07
of I've ever heard in my life, do that thinking of busting him
3:01:12
for lying on his form? Because he was he was two things. One, I
3:01:17
learned that he was using a smoking crack every 15 minutes.
3:01:22
It's what you do. I wouldn't know.
3:01:25
Adam Curry: What's the other thing? Oh, here we go. What's
3:01:27
the other thing you learned?
3:01:28
John C Dvorak: Well, the other thing I learned is that they're
3:01:31
hypocrites that are going to defend him are going to use the
3:01:36
conservative Supreme Court decisions and the second
3:01:39
amendment to get away with it.
3:01:41
Unknown: The President son Hunter Biden could face legal
3:01:44
consequences for a gun purchase, but his lawyers say that they
