Adam Curry: I'm an egg white.
Adam curry, Jhansi Dvorak July
23 2023 And this is your award
winning accumulation media
assassination episode 1575. This
Unknown: is no agenda
Adam Curry: vanning Bug ad we're
over a decade and broadcasting
live from the heart of the Texas
hill country here in February to
number six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where we're at
we're all congratulating the new
sumo champ finally from July I'm
John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Okay, we waited two
minutes for you to set up the
opening and that was it.
John C Dvorak: No, I didn't
forgot to reveal the other
opening. Forget it. Who knows
this by the way, that's the show
we were hitting the show the
actual show. No, but
Adam Curry: yeah, it was like
what we did before the show and
it gives the people who are
listening and idea that you
know, you should tune in live to
the show because it's cool.
There's there's extra bonus
stuff happening.
John C Dvorak: Bonus Yes, there
is a lot of material at the
beginning of the show is true.
We talked about the bonus clip,
which we both got and you want
to say something about the bonus
clip because we both got the
bonus clip. We got the both of
us have a bonus clip that we
both got. And we both position
it exactly the same spot in the
show. Yes. Which will be a
donation segment bonus clip just
saying
to every bride
Adam Curry: so there's reasons
to listen to the donation
segment. Besides listening for
your own donation, there's fun
stuff in there. I have a bonus
clip which I'd like to start
with. Okay, from the anonymous
controller, you know the air
traffic controller?
John C Dvorak: Oh, yes, this is
always good stuff. Yes, he
Adam Curry: has two boys. He and
his wife have two boys nine and
11 year old and the kids like to
walk around the house and
pretend to do intros to the
show.
He says it only gets awkward
when they talk about D douching.
Someone in front of the other
homeschooled kids whose parents
may actually still be
douchebags. But every Thursday
and Sunday, my wife or I will
say to them hey guys, guess what
day it is only for them to give
us an intro and intro to the
show. I figured we should listen
to today's intro because these
are podcasters in space. It's
Sunday July 23 2023. This is
your award winning get more
niche media assassination
episode 1575. This is no agenda
coming to you live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country
here and FEMA Region number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry and from Northern
Silicon Valley where we are all
wondering where the heck is the
evidence of the Canadian
wildfires? I'm John Cena vorak
each part in buzz kill in the
morning
John C Dvorak: this show elder
abuse
Adam Curry: this show we have
nothing to worry about. Dave
when we're gone there.
John C Dvorak: We just have
those doing the show. It'll be
perfect. Yes, sounds get the
timing down.
Adam Curry: It'll be fantastic.
I love them. I just figured I'd
start off with some
deconstruction some some fun
deconstruction because, man, the
climate change stuff is just off
the
Unknown: hook. Tonight the
dangerous heatwave spreading
across Europe as extreme
temperatures fuel wildfires in
Greece were just outside Athens
where it's been hovering around
110 degrees. They are still very
much in this fight not only from
the air but also on the ground.
This fire popping up just a
short time ago along this road
leading to villages here we meet
Maria Bella Bonnie hurrying to
make sure her grandmother was
okay. You're obviously worried
about them. You were worried
about them. And her grandmother
like so many others here lost
her home, but he's unhurt
atmospheric conditions trapping
multiple heat domes across the
center of the Earth is soaring
here in southern Europe. And
it's becoming a deadly trend.
Scientists estimate more than
61,000 deaths on the continent
last summer could have been heat
related. Highs now reaching 140.
In Italy, Sicily hitting 115
degrees in recent days, the
usually bustling streets of
Sardinia mostly empty.
Adam Curry: So this is your
typical M five M. conflagration
of a hot summer. And then all
the fires could have been heat
related. These are there are
there are fires in Greece right
now. It happens it's very dry.
There's fires in Texas that
fires everywhere, but oh no, it
could be heat or heat related.
That was ABC. Let's listen to
what NBC has to say.
Unknown: Tonight. The Greek
countryside is scorched earth,
the distill scorched earth being
ravaged by climate change. In
this village west of Athens, a
sea of charred black and a
chemical factory burnt to a
crisp. This is all that's left
of his home outside of
Adam Curry: Athens wrapped This
is your dystopian future.
Unknown: I wish this village two
days ago, residents here now
picking up the pieces of their
lives. This resident lost six
dogs several chickens and a goat
when the flames now or at his
family home. This house go up in
flames were you scared for your
life here? Yes, it's not over
Greek authorities say 52 New
fires erupted today, as
firefighters play Whack a Mole.
Almost as soon as a fire is
contained. The heat and winds
pick up and the old fires are
reignited. We have been watching
for the last hour as
firefighting helicopters like
this one have been dumping water
on this hotspot here in the
outskirts of Athens, while
Europe sizzles under some of the
hottest temperatures ever
recorded. The US also grappling
with triple digit temps, a
staggering 86 million Americans
across the south and west under
heat alerts tonight. Dramatic
video in Texas shows the moment
a father busted his windshield
with a tire iron after his baby
was accidentally locked in the
vehicle as the city of Miami
Adam Curry: what is that report
that has nothing to do with
climate change. Oh, my baby's
locked in the car. Well, that's
Unknown: exactly south and west
under heat alerts tonight.
Dramatic video in Texas shows
the moment a father busted his
windshield with a tire iron
after his baby was accidentally
locked in the vehicle. As the
city of Miami bakes amid a 41
day streak of 100 plus degree
heat index. Tonight, millions of
Americans flocking to Greece in
Italy to escape the heat only to
find hot seas and air.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute who
escapes to Italy? millions
millions mind you millions of
Americans going to Italy to
escape the heat. Really?
John C Dvorak: Didn't hear him
say that. Listen,
Adam Curry: listen, listen.
Listen. Listen. Listen,
Unknown: city of Miami bakes
amid a 41 day streak of 100 plus
degree heat index. Tonight,
millions of Americans flocking
to Greece and Italy to escape
the heat. This is
Adam Curry: complete bull crap.
Millions of Americans don't
escape to Greece and Italy to
escape the heat. That's
ridiculous. That's
John C Dvorak: the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.
Unknown: Only to find hot seas
and air thick with smoke and
unrelenting summer with no break
in sight.
Adam Curry: No break in sight.
So
John C Dvorak: where was that
report from
Adam Curry: NBC.
John C Dvorak: Millions of
Americans flocking to Greece and
Italy to beat the heat.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Row row row is
from Rogan's they're actually
John C Dvorak: to beat the heat.
Adam Curry: Yes, he's like,
Adam, I gotta go to Greece to
beat the heat amongst the ruins.
So this other thing that's
bothering me,
John C Dvorak: is this heat in a
report back that it wasn't that
bad, of course, is
Adam Curry: he's having fun
amongst the ruins. That's
literally what he said, I'm
having a good time over here. No
heat dome. So the heat index is
another thing that you just keep
hearing about. Because it's not
the heat. It's the humidity. The
heat index, also known as the
apparent temperature, is what
the temperature feels like to
the human body when relative
humidity is combined with air
pressure. This has important
considerations for the human
body's comfort.
John C Dvorak: Yes, the oil
feels like Yes. When they used
to be just called feels like
Adam Curry: it's the opposite of
the wind chill factor. Same
thing. Yeah. So if that wasn't
bad enough, now we have this
Jumoke where is this guy from?
Let me see this is from this is
Paul Beckwith, PhD candidate
from the University of Ottawa.
Unknown: The temperatures that
we're reaching the temperature
humidity combinations are
getting extremely detrimental to
human health. We know about the
massive Texas Heatwave, northern
Mexico heatwave.
Adam Curry: Have you heard about
the massive Texas heatwave where
people
John C Dvorak: stopped Eclipse?
Caribbean stopped. I have on the
line. Someone who lives in the
middle of Texas and John middle
of the Texas heat wave.
Adam Curry: Yes. Hello, John.
I'm here. I'm on the line.
What's up?
John C Dvorak: Hey, how's the
temperature? How's the heat
dome? You guys? Okay, you're
safe.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable.
Here, John. The heat index is
just off the chart. It's the
apparent temperatures about 175
degrees. It's just so dangerous.
It's so dangerous that I saw a
dad the other day he had to
break his windshield with a tire
iron because He locked his kid
in there because of climate
change. John, it's really bad
here. Can I ask you a question?
Yes, briefly because I'm about
to pass out.
John C Dvorak: Is this that much
different than normal in Texas?
Oh, John, this is
Adam Curry: the worst Are we in
fact here? We're talking about
scorched
John C Dvorak: earth. Good.
Well, Adam, be safe back to the
studio.
Adam Curry: All right. Well,
that's a report from our man on
the scene. In fact, I went out,
Eric, who mowed the lawn. And he
said he gave me half a mo today
because you know, the grass was
growing. It's not burned to a
crisp. So he mowed the lawn. And
do you think it needs and he
said, Oh, come on out and take a
look. And I go out with my
hoodie on because I'm inside in
this. What do we have? It's
called to all your air
conditioning. And, and I didn't
fall down dead. I stood there
chatter with him for five or 10
minutes with my Salem College
Alma Mater, hoodie on, even even
that. So I'm sorry, this
reporting is just his lies, is
lies, his lies his life. So
Unknown: to human health. We
know about the massive Texas
heat wave.
Adam Curry: What do you know
about the massive Texas heat
wave? I mean, it's this.
John C Dvorak: We know about
Yeah, I moved here in we know
about Trump's crimes. Yeah. I
moved here
Adam Curry: in 2010. When it was
112 degrees, and I moved here
Unknown: are their Mexico
heatwave that was ongoing for
three, four weeks, we reached
temperature, humidity
combinations approaching the wet
bulb temperature,
Adam Curry: the wet bulb
temperature. Now here's a new
one. What is the wet bulb
temperature? Are you familiar
with the wet bulb temperature?
Actually, yes. Okay. What is the
wet bulb temperature?
John C Dvorak: Well, there's
these devices that you use to
the wet draw it was called a wet
is when I was an air pollution
inspector. Yeah, of course, it
was called a wet bulb dry bulb
thermometer. And it was a
methodology for determining the
relative humidity. And so you
have this is like two
thermometers side by side, one
with a with a cloth at the
bottom of the Ood wet. Right,
the bottom of the thermometer
bowl, but the bulb, Ryan's the
wet bulb, and you take in you
spin this thing it had it was
like a spinner. Whoa, wait a
minute, it was like a numb Chuck
is what it was like to be on it.
Just like a ninja you spin,
spin, spin, spin, spin and then
you'd get your
Adam Curry: spin a job. All
right, spinning, we're spinning.
All right, we're spinning it
John C Dvorak: around pretty
much like it. So then you look
at the two bulbs are the two
thermometers. And one would be
the the dry bulb that would give
you the ambient temperature and
then the wet bulb because it was
evaporating from the bulb,
right? It would give you a lower
temperature. So if they're the
closer they are together, then
the more the more miserable
you're gonna be, I guess was
that? I don't even know why
we're doing these measurements
to be honest
Adam Curry: about it. Did I hear
those effort in the background?
John C Dvorak: No, it's just
some some local wet bulb
Adam Curry: temperatures a
temperature read by a
thermometer covered in water
soaked cloth of wet bulb
thermometer over which air is
passed at 100% relative
humidity. The wet bulb
temperature is equal to the air
temp air temperature. At lower
humidity. The wet bulb
temperature is lower than the
dry bulb temperature because of
evaporated cooling. What's the
point? What's the point?
John C Dvorak: He I know what
the point is? Is sounds cool.
Yeah, well, we're this guy says
expert to talk about wet
temperature. That's right.
Adam Curry: I'll show you my wet
bulb approaching
Unknown: the wet bulb
temperature. This is a first I
believe for the US. We associate
these sorts of high temperature
high humidity reaching points
where people can work outside,
they can't do anything. They
can't even sit outside in the
shade. Their body overheats,
they get heat exhaustion, heat
stroke and die and they said it
their body overheats, they get
heat exhaustion, heat stroke and
die in a matter of like eight to
10 hours outside if the
temperatures higher than 35 with
100% humidity. Work out the
corresponding wet bulb for say
40 Celsius
Adam Curry: or 45 Celsius. So
now he's going to throw some
Celsius out as
Unknown: we're reaching 50
degrees Celsius in regions and
then why did he
Adam Curry: Why did he switch
from from Fahrenheit to Celsius
is all
John C Dvorak: sounds cooler
does not even centigrade, which
is whatever it is really sad to
say Yeah, but he's Celsius
Scandanavian
Unknown: say 40
Celsius or 45 Celsius, we're
reaching 50 degrees Celsius in
regions and then not only do we
have to worry about the wet bulb
conditions being exceeded, but
when we talk about temperatures
5045 50 We're talking about the
breakdown of certain chemicals
that make up the body like
protein. For example. Think of
what happens when you
John C Dvorak: turn into a pile
of salt no no
Adam Curry: better are better
chemicals
Unknown: that make up the body
like proteins, for example, you
know, think of what happens when
you crack an egg over, expose it
to 50 degree,
Adam Curry: you're an egg
temperatures,
Unknown: the clear part of the
egg turns white and this is
basically denaturation of the
protein molecules they become
broken and all twisted and, you
know, make the egg clear part of
the egg go white. And you know,
this is actually happening,
these chemical breakdowns can
actually start occurring in the
human body when we reach those
sorts of temperatures. 50
degrees plus,
Adam Curry: I'm an egg white.
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second.
Where would this guy where did
Where'd you get this one?
Adam Curry: This is from the
University of Ottawa podcast.
John C Dvorak: This is the PhD
candidate should be ashamed of
themselves.
Adam Curry: He's he calls
himself a climate systems
scientist, which isn't. Alright,
so now a little bit of no agenda
history. Because we have been
following the climate change.
We're in our 16th year, it'll be
16 years in October, actually,
we've been following climate
change. So far back kids back in
the day, what did they used to
call climate change? Global
warming. And we hadn't even
heard of climate change. It was
global warming. You remember
those days, John? Oh, yeah.
Global warming. Global warming?
was what it was if the Al Gore
came out this effect it was
global warming before no Al Gore
change that I think didn't Well,
it was global warming. I know
that he was he was he was a
global warming, then we're gonna
forget the global cooling part
for a moment because then we
have to go further back. We
didn't weren't doing this show.
For that you need to go see
Leonard Nimoy Dr. Spock. So
global global
John C Dvorak: cooling, by the
way, because they have some
don't have any closer to today's
show, but have some some
historic clips. global cooling
was, you know, we look back on
it well as a short term
phenomenon. No, it went into the
Reagan administration. Right.
Adam Curry: But let's leave with
global warming. Which now as you
heard, what is it today, we went
from global warming to climate
change, and now it's scorched
earth. I just heard it. One of
the main things that is causing
global warming climate change,
scorched earth is of course,
beef. We know this to be true,
because the science has told us
the sciences in
John C Dvorak: it's either as a
science floating around us
telling us stuff. It's telling
it used to be the thing that
would cause all this, of course,
was the sun. No, no, no heat.
No,
Adam Curry: no, no, but this,
but it has been meat production
and consumption for for over a
decade. And I know it's been for
over a decade because I was so
annoyed by something I heard on
NPR, which I will play in a
moment that I went back to find
the first time we heard the
establishment telling us what
the solution is to eat not to to
meat, which is causing global
warming, and what was that
solution?
John C Dvorak: Go vegan,
Adam Curry: bugs, bugs, bugs eat
bugs,
John C Dvorak: I think not to
correct you here. But I'm pretty
sure they came up with the cow
flatulence, or some of these
other things before they even
suggested eating bugs, cuz these
were all initiatives of the
vegans
Adam Curry: correct. But it was
13 years ago, Episode 225 of
your no agenda show, which was
August 12 202,010. When we first
saw the powers that be and
you'll be surprised who it was,
of course, there were there will
be a term in here, which you'll
remember telling us that we need
to eat bugs to stop global
warming. And I have that first
moment when we first were given
the message that bugs eating
bugs was the only way out. We're
going back 13 years. The United
Nations has come out. They of
course are the ones behind the
whole Codex Alimentarius push.
And they're basically saying
that you know, we do we remember
the Codex Alimentarius?
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
unfortunately, we do, of course,
are
Adam Curry: the ones behind the
whole Codex Alimentarius push.
And they're basically saying
that, you know, we really can't
go on like this eating pigs and
cows, we need to eat insects.
John C Dvorak: That Oh, yeah,
you beat me to that story.
Adam Curry: It's a great story.
The Hot Pockets filled with
bugs. That's
John C Dvorak: a story which
gets to me is like, Oh, this is
all part of a vegan, global
warming agenda to keep us from
eating meat.
Adam Curry: By the way, who says
that hot pecans aren't already
filled with bugs? It could
John C Dvorak: be? I don't know.
You have to test for it. Yeah,
it's easy. Just brain dead easy.
So anyway, the Yeah, so it's
against me to That's correct.
It's it gets it all to the all
about me vegetarians and the
vegans.
Adam Curry: Wait, there's more
to it. It's, it's, there's more
to it. It's let me just tell you
the exact statement. It's to cut
levels of meat consumption
worldwide as part of the United
Nations commitment to stamp out
famine and, and cut global
warming. Yeah,
Unknown: sciences.
Adam Curry: Let them eat bugs.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. So so they
come out here. Can you imagine
the meetings are going to
introduce this to the public? I
don't think some people are
going to like the idea of eating
bugs. Well, you know, I think if
we just kind of slowly bring him
into it, there'll be eaten bugs,
you know, we just had to, and
the funny thing was No, not you
mentioned this, I realized that
I got a package about those six
months ago. And I don't know if
I I don't think I mentioned it
on the show. I didn't think
about it. But it was some green
initiative, sending out
chocolate coated grasshoppers.
Yep. And so I got like this
package chocolate coated
grasshoppers, and my daughter
and her friend. They both ate
one. Yeah, and said that they
were delicious. They were
delicious. They were they said
they were good. They were Chris
like eating. It's like eating a
KitKat bar. It's got the
crunchy. Crunchy. Yeah, so it's
like a KitKat only with a
Unknown: real cat inside.
Adam Curry: So let's just
establish here that the United
Nations through the Codex
Alimentarius sent out a press
release saying that we needed to
eat insects, bugs, to combat
global hunger and global
warming.
John C Dvorak: That's well, I
think that the correct phrase
was famine. Famine. Yes. Family.
So the logic is this famine, no
eating meat if there's a famine,
Adam Curry: yeah, don't eat.
Don't eat meat. he
John C Dvorak: pay you famine,
people go eat some bugs. They're
all over the place. kind of help
us this.
Adam Curry: But I think what
they're saying is if we eat the
bugs, then there'll be some some
meat leftover for the famine
people. Yeah, maybe which would
basically put us into the famine
people seat. I don't know. So
let's just agree. Because and
thank you, sir. D anonymous for
putting together being at.io
what a what a wonderful
resource. It did. It took me all
of five minutes to figure this
out. And find the right spot and
and bring this. It took me three
minutes to edit the harpin. So
now we fast forward to n p are
our national treasure. And they
have a show called code switch.
And code switch is it's a it's
clearly a dei and programming
initiative. And these two hosts
are going to deconstruct this
huge conspiracy theory. Here's
the introduction.
Unknown: Paging, what's good
teaching? So Janeane is one of
our colleagues here at NPR and
she covers how information gets
made. Public gets disseminated,
right?
Yes. And as part of that, I
cover how conspiracy theories
travel and spread.
Okay, so
Adam Curry: yes, yes.
John C Dvorak: So this is a show
about gays.
Adam Curry: No, no. No, this is
this is an actual show on NPR.
These people are paid by our
national treasure.
John C Dvorak: Isn't code
switch. Isn't that a gay?
Adam Curry: No, no, no code
switch is when that's like when
Hillary start saying I don't
feel no tired no more when you
start talking code switch.
That's That's what code
switches. Oh,
John C Dvorak: but so why are
they talking gay then? Because
they're probably gay. I don't
know. Oh, hey, nevermind, and
Unknown: that I cover how
conspiracy theories travel and
spread
your own tinfoil hat beat right.
Just that I covered
Adam Curry: inflammation. John.
Save your oohs and ahhs for when
it really matters. I want you to
listen because you just won't
believe what has happened in
don't believe it already. But
okay. 13 short years, I'll back
off 13 years.
Unknown: Yes. I covered the
entire information environment
both online and offline. think
social media, chat groups,
television, schools, workplaces,
churches.
So basically anywhere we get a
hold
Adam Curry: Churches because
that's where conspiracy theories
are born church as permission.
Unknown: That is a very
important piece, especially
right now. And part B. I mean, I
think so you're gonna walk us
through a phenomena that lands
right at the intersection of our
two beats, right.
Adam Curry: And conspiracies.
Okay, then she's she's going to
get into something that is right
at the intersection of our two
beats, which is race and
conspiracy theories
Unknown: at the intersection of
our two beats, right race and
conspiracies,
yes. Que anti semitism, white
anxiety and the healthy dose of
xenophobia.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. So it
seems like there's a lot of
white problems here.
Unknown: conspiracy theory goes,
that global elites are plotting
to force ordinary people like
you and me to eat bucks.
Adam Curry: That's a conspiracy
theory now that the elites have
decided that they're going to
force us to eat bugs. Did we not
just hear that 13 years ago?
John C Dvorak: Or though maybe
the United Nations, those are
the elites?
Adam Curry: Yeah, of course,
they're the elites. But that is
now a conspiracy theory.
John C Dvorak: How's it Why is
it a theory? We just played the
reality?
Adam Curry: Well, they clearly I
mean, her job is to scour the
internet to find everything. And
she digs around, and she didn't
find us she found something else
that is NPR broadcast worthy.
Unknown: The conspiracy theory
goes that global elites are
plotting to force ordinary
people like you and me to eat
bucks.
Wait, what's to eat bugs? Yeah.
I started. Okay.
global elites, that's been kind
of a wink toward this old anti
semitic idea that they're like
Jewish financiers who are secret
black masters running the world
from behind the scenes. Right,
exactly.
Adam Curry: So that's when we
say global elites. So of course,
that is the United Nations
without a doubt. They're a
elites. That mean, that's a
concern. That's a trope, which
is anti semitic. Jewish
financiers. No, I
John C Dvorak: don't, I think
that they bypass that. I think
that anytime anything is brought
up. They just blame it on the on
the these people are Jew haters.
Adam Curry: Okay, so let's go to
the next clip. Because it's not
just Jews, they hate
Unknown: Why are folks like
Terry ball day in the
Netherlands and Tucker Carlson
here, all up in arms about it?
Well, right now, it may be
because it has become part of an
even bigger conspiracy theory. I
did some digging on the
internet. And this merging seems
to have begun with this
anonymous blog post in 2019.
Okay.
Adam Curry: So she did some
digging on the internet, went
all the way back to 2019. And it
sounds like she has found the
origin of the conspiracy theory,
that the elites, mainly Jewish
financiers want us to eat bugs
instead of the actual United
Nations, which told us that's
what we need to do. 2013 2013
Yes, correct. No, no,
John C Dvorak: let's wait to act
as she got 2019 with a blog
2010 2010.
Adam Curry: She got to 2010 how
she got to 2019 We were talking
about it in 2010 2010. Okay,
John C Dvorak: so she couldn't
get back before 2019. And so she
thinks that's the Orisha. So
she's giving us perversion of
the origin story, which is
totally bogus, correct?
Adam Curry: That's correct. It
Unknown: all I could find out
about the person who wrote it is
that they call themselves a
white identitarian. So
they're a white supremacist of
some sort.
Yeah. And you have to tweet to
back it up. And in the days
after the north of them because
they are caught fire in Paris,
this blogger went on this rant
saying that the fire was on
purpose.
Adam Curry: Okay, so now she's
going to what she's doing here
is she's giving credibility to
this blog post that she found,
which apparently, they have to
tweets to back it up from a
white identitarian ism. I
identitarian, ie white
supremacist who also claimed
that the notre DOM was set on
fire on purpose. Which it
probably was,
John C Dvorak: oh, there's a lot
of evidence to suggest that was
set on fire on purpose, not on
NPR,
Unknown: that it was not only an
attack on Christianity and
Christendom, but another sign of
global elites being sadist and
wanting to punish and enslave
people around the world. And the
blog post took a turn. This
person wrote, quote, have you
noticed there is quite a lot of
research going into turning bugs
into mass food products. None
the phrase I will not eat the
bugs cross from 4chan over to
Twitter first by way of again, a
white nationalist
Adam Curry: show. Okay. So this
person identifies that bug
ingredients are going into mass
food products, Cricket Flour,
anybody? I mean, yes, this is
absolutely happening. But
there's it's it's part of
another conspiracy theory,
Unknown: like Africa's ratio
theorists have been stuff in all
sorts of stories under the great
resent name, things like
governments are forcing you to
stay at home and wear a mask
or like take the vaccine. Yes,
exactly.
John C Dvorak: Hey, hold on a
second. This is a dish show is a
parody. This is a joke. There
was something comedic about this
show. And you're playing it at
you've been suckered. I don't
think so, John, they are
suckered into thinking they're
serious. They are dead
Adam Curry: serious. These
people? Yes, yes. Yes. Listen.
The great reset. They believe
that's a conspiracy theory,
instead of the title of Klaus
Schwab's book. And his main res
or
John C Dvorak: conspiracy theory
is a book titled,
Unknown: government's forcing
you to stay at home and wear a
mask or like take the vaccine.
Yes, exactly. It's been
construed as a ploy to control
the population and take away
your freedoms for good. No
kidding. No kidding. Good, for
good, but you're gonna hear that
WTF trying to address that
concern here. Great reset.
Adam Curry: Now, so now they're
playing a piece of the great
reset from the World Economic
Forum, where the World Economic
Forum pushed back. They're
playing this now as well.
Listen,
Unknown: you can hear that WTF
trying to address the concern
here.
And great research.
That sounds more like buzzword
bingo is masking some nefarious
plans, world domination. Hands
up, this kind of slogan hasn't
gone down? Well, all we really
want to say is that we all have
an opportunity to build a better
world.
These are made offensive like if
you're conspiracy theorists,
that might make you even more
suspicious of the people at
Davos and WTF, right.
Yeah, they're trying to debunk
or pre bunk, depending on how
you look at it,
like pre bunk. That's cool.
That could be the way the actual
great reset initiative that
sprung out of Davos is still
vague, and it's probably kind of
like the great reset conspiracy
theory.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. I see what
they're saying. So they're
saying that, you know, just this
little thing that came out of
the World Economic Forum that
they called the Great reset.
That's not really like the great
reset conspiracy theory
Unknown: vague. It's probably
kind of like the great reset
conspiracy theory that took on
its name. The conspiracy theory
goes that there were shadowy
puppeteers behind governments
before it's called the Great
reset. They had a different
name, the New World Order.
Adam Curry: You're gonna love
how this one's
Unknown: like a hodgepodge of
old oven anti semitic tropes.
So you're saying anti semitic
Adam Curry: tropes? No, it was
George Bush who said it. George
Bush Senior, not a Jew,
John C Dvorak: George W. George
H. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it was just not
these people have no history.
Have no education. As far as I'm
concerned.
John C Dvorak: It sounds like
they're there to adults are just
like two kids. You know, eighth
graders just kind of making it?
Um, no.
Adam Curry: I believe they've
been given a script. I think
they was a
John C Dvorak: very poorly
written script. Let me tell you,
hello, chat. GPT.
Unknown: Before it's called the
Great reset. It had a different
name. The New World Order is
like a hodgepodge of old oven
anti semitic tropes.
So you're saying that the great
reset gave that old New World
Order, a new branding?
Yes. And a new life as well.
Like, think about all this
anxiety about the pandemic,
right, it's supercharged as
conspiratorial thinking, because
there is a theory is one of the
things that people do to cope
with uncertainty. And the
pandemic was a very uncertain
time. So no, the New World Order
absorbed eating bugs. That's one
of the more salacious subplots
before the pandemic. And fast
forward to 2022. It is
intertwined again, with the
great reset.
Adam Curry: I can't even follow
this logic, but somehow, we
couldn't deal with a pandemic
because, you know, we're
obviously white supremacist and
Jew haters and then murdered and
we're just a tinfoil hat wears.
So before the pandemic started,
we started with this bug eating
thing. And then during the
pandemic, it made us feel good
to wrap it up into what we used
to call the New World Order.
Okay, NPR. Sounds good. Now, the
idea of eating bugs.
John C Dvorak: What's the name
of it? What's the name of the
show again,
Adam Curry: code switch. So why
would we not want to eat bugs?
Now? Their answer is even more
stunning than what we think it
is.
Unknown: And that means the
colonists were not going to eat
the bugs. Here's an expert who
research that
there was very much an idea that
you are what you eat back then.
And so the Europeans felt they
need European foods. So there is
a very much a worry that if you
ate the indigenous foods, you
would become a savage. Okay,
because
Adam Curry: we're worried that
if we eat bugs will become
savages because we're
colonialists.
Unknown: She's Julie Lesnick, an
anthropologist at Wayne State
University in Detroit. She
studies entomology or insect
eating let's think wrote an
article Tracy In this colonial
history of eating bugs or
reluctance to eat bugs, she
says, we don't have much
information between then and
now. But that this repulsion
probably became a learned thing
over time. I think it just kind
of gets recapitulated every
generation like it's the same
thing. And it just becomes the
same thing again, because the
seed was planted in the
generation before.
The key here is that Disgust is
socially reinforced that babies
don't find bugs disgusting until
they're a little older.
Right? And this idea that
Adam Curry: lady Do you have a
child Have you fed your child
bugs? Do you know this we're
fact that babies don't find bugs
disgusting until they're a
little older.
Unknown: Right? Or baby still
find bugs this
Adam Curry: age? A baby's babies
she's
John C Dvorak: grown I'm saying
what age do they find disgusting
because most kids I know, even
when they're babies they
repulsed by bugs core, Satan
forced
Unknown: a baby still find bugs
disgusting until they're a
little older. Right? And this
idea that we are the civilized,
and that we have, you know the
best and are the best. And so
insects are so easy for people
to other and
Adam Curry: othering instance.
Oh, my God. Because the poor
bugs, they're easy to other
because they can't talk back.
John C Dvorak: Can I stop you
for one second? Sure. Because
because you didn't mention the
name of the show. I did five
times code switch know the name
of the episode? Oh, I
Adam Curry: don't know the net.
What do you have the name of the
episode? Yes, I do. What's the
what's the episode? It's the
John C Dvorak: right wing
conspiracy theory about eating
bugs is as racist as you think.
Adam Curry: Why are you giving
away my punchline? But we
already had this figured out?
No, the punch line is this.
Thanks for stopping me. Well,
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry. But
the name of the show is
important. I was it whose
presentation is this? All right,
I'm sorry. I'm just trying to
add to the, to the I'm trying to
add dimensionality.
Unknown: And so insects are so
easy for people to other and
associate with people that are
not the best and not civilized.
It's like the easiest punching
bag.
Adam Curry: So bye. Bye. Wait.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they keep
stopping you because you keep
about a bud.
Unknown: What is she say? And so
in
John C Dvorak: civilized because
we don't eat bugs? No,
Adam Curry: no, no. Bugs are
easy to other because that part
because well, but because we're
uncivilized.
John C Dvorak: No, no,
Adam Curry: no. People who eat
bugs, like, you know, black
people who eat bugs, black
people in
John C Dvorak: Africa or
wherever they are American
Indians just eat bugs. They're
black.
Adam Curry: We hate them too.
Because we're white. We hate
everybody. Because it's so easy
to other than we are
sophisticated. And those others,
others who eat other things like
bugs, they are less than us
because we're racists,
Unknown: you know, the best and
are the best. And so insects are
so easy for people to other and
associate with people that are
not the best and not civilized.
It's like the easiest punching
bag.
Adam Curry: Okay, so let's,
let's finalize this with the
last clip, which will explain
even better than the title will
explain exactly to the tee, who
they are talking about.
Unknown: I mean, last year, a
pollster who worked with
Democratic candidates asked
respondents if they agreed with
the statement that the federal
government is controlled by a
secret cabal. 53% of Republicans
agree with that. And so did 41%
of independents and 37% of
Democrats.
That's Wow. Okay. So that kind
of makes sense, like the idea
that our government works
actively works to advance the
desires of a small number of
very powerful, very rich people.
Like when you think about it
like that, like, I'm surprised
the number of the people
answering yes to that question.
Are that low? To be honest,
the thing is, that poll was a
way to get up your house. Kiana
believes like that statement is
a central statement of the Kiana
spacey theory.
Adam Curry: She's saying Q are
now you see, it's the central
statement of the Q anon
consumers said
John C Dvorak: Q and I couldn't
understand her.
Adam Curry: Thank you and I
can't Well, are you othering
her?
John C Dvorak: I am I can't
speak English. That's
understandable. She's She's a
broadcaster
Unknown: are that low? To be
honest,
the thing is that Paul was a way
to get at people's kyana
beliefs.
Adam Curry: So the poll was a
way to get at people's Q anon
beliefs
Unknown: was a way to get up
people's Q anon beliefs. Like
that statement is a central
statement of the Kianna
conspiracy theory. There is no
need formula leading people to
adopt these ideas. We don't
really know why people get
caught up in them. What we do
know is that sort and categories
of people have picked up this
ideas more
Adam Curry: Okay are you ready
for the categories of people
who've picked up this these
theories more the true evil a
holes who other bugs and have
come up with a cute on related
conspiracy
Unknown: and vaccinated mail
conservative Trump voting
Republican and also not college
educated
Adam Curry: all the boxes, baby
I take them all this is truly
atrocious what these people are
doing.
John C Dvorak: Oh, this is a
kind of racism that is often
disgusting. Yep. And it's an
it's an NPR production. So it
comes right from National Public
Radio. It's not like one of the
offshoots are an independent
group. This is NPR sanctioned.
Yep. I'm looking at their page.
And it's gross. And it's and
it's so inaccurate about the
fact that we could play clips
from 2010. And she can't get
past a blog post in 2019,
attributing all the bug eating
phenomenon to this one blogger
who happened to be a white guy.
Adam Curry: But of course, we're
all Jew haters. It's It's just
unbelievable. And this, this is
the problem. This is,
John C Dvorak: by the way,
people out there everyone
listening. If you give any money
to these people, yeah, you're
thinking about it and instead
send it to us.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Exactly.
John C Dvorak: And by these
people, I mean, anyone who works
in and around NPR?
Adam Curry: Yes. That is what
this is why podcasts are
winning. I would hope I would
hope no one listens. Oh,
John C Dvorak: good one. Good
catch. No, I don't think that my
revealing the title of the show
was hurt your point at all?
Adam Curry: Not a little bit.
No, it would have been a bigger
reveal. No,
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
Okay, that was added to the
suspense.
Adam Curry: Good. Good work,
John. Sorry. I meant to say good
work. Thanks. Thanks for adding
to the suspense. All right.
distraction of the week time
cave sharks
Unknown: aren't terrifying
enough to some of you there's a
new threat. He's in the waters
off of Florida.
How about sharks hopped up on
cocaine? Expertise. Sharks may
be gobbling up bales of drugs
which have been dumped off the
Florida coast by smugglers.
Marine Biologist went to study
the phenomenon they conducted
experiments and spotted a
hammerhead sharks swimming into
dumped packages and biting into
them. That gave them what the
scientists scientists called
crazy brain.
Adam Curry: Okay, so we've got
sharks hopped up on Coke,
because for some reason, these
coke bales are in the water and
don't disintegrate. No, no, no,
not a problem.
John C Dvorak: We just oh no,
they're they're in the water.
They don't do. This is the
latest thing. In fact, there was
a big bust of like a billion
dollars with a coke where the
big trawlers come loaded with
the coke and they throw it in
the water on purpose to get
picked up later. So it's pretty
watertight until the shark bites
it, then it's all over. But
somebody pointed out that this
is just kind of an interesting
way to get some news of some
attraction to this a fake story.
Based on the fact that cocaine
bear was a big hit on the movie
theaters. It's even
Adam Curry: worse than that. It
is a native ad for something we
deal with every single year
Unknown: when they behaved
erratically. That phenomenon is
featured in a new documentary
for the Discovery Channel's
Shark Week,
which starts
John C Dvorak: Oh, Shark
Adam Curry: it's every single
stream every year.
John C Dvorak: Every year for
shark week, every year, every
year, yeah, every year every
year, but this was the best lead
in so far. Is definitely funny.
Every every year, some of the
greatest and all these should
networks are showing B roll.
Yeah, from like Jaws with the
big white shark in the water.
Just biting it everything
Adam Curry: is no wonder that
people are cutting the cord.
They're not watching television
anymore. People you're over.
You're so over the strike,
you're getting screwed this
strike thing. I mean, I I'm so
sorry. I'm so sorry. All right.
Hey, I'm so sorry for the actors
and the writers and of course it
doesn't just affect them. I
mean, I add see all the
technicians every you know,
everybody is affected by this.
But the actors and the writers
I'd say but the actors, they're
stupid. They are dumb. They're
they're lapping up is AI bull
crap when they mean that your
enemy is big tech, big tech owns
your outlets now, literally
Amazon own studios.
John C Dvorak: Literally, they
own MGM, for example,
Adam Curry: they own studios,
and they own the streaming. And
the if you have not noticed, if
you're not noticed YouTube and
Tiktok, the Silicon Valley model
is give us your creativity,
we'll give you nothing. That's
what they do. And then they
throw algos in there, so that
these poor influencers have to
post three videos a day,
otherwise, they drop in the
algo. And oh, I gotta keep up, I
gotta post more kind of post
more. In order to make any kind
of money with their influencer
bull crap. And at the drop of a
hat, they can get cut off, you
know, young people, like start
to live that way, and they got
house payments and car payments,
and then they're destroyed
overnight. That is what big tech
does. And now you're surprised
that the streaming model does
not include residuals you're
surprised that big tech has, has
decided to cut seasons and
anachronism of epic proportion.
Seasons now, we just have six
episodes of something and people
binge that,
John C Dvorak: as they watch it
like one long movie,
Adam Curry: Have you not noticed
this actors and writers? Have
you not seen what's going on?
And now you're buying into
Silicon Valley's ultimate hype?
Have a I have you not and so now
you're instead of fighting for a
different revenue model, which I
don't know could be based on how
many people watch, there's a lot
of different things you could
actually force if you were
smart. Instead of doing that,
you're buying into the dummy
stuff. This is an this is a
successful actor, because of
course, the successful actors,
they're just on vacation. This
is James Vander bake. He's an
actor from the successful show,
Dawson's Creek, the
Unknown: Screen Actors Guild is
on strike. During the Writers
Guild, which I'm also a member
of including striking for the
last three months. I can't join
them on the picket lines,
because I'm on vacation with my
family. So this is my
contribution. Why we're
striking. There's some big
things in this one monumental
thing. Big things have to do
with issues that would allow
writers and actors who are just
starting out earn something that
looks like a living wage, things
like residuals, which have all
been disappeared in streaming
area. These are nothing to
multibillion dollar
corporations, but they're
everything that people try to
pay for groceries and pay the
rent. And monumental thing is AI
and that that she was viewer.
Writers need protection from
studios generating AI scripts,
actors, we need protection over
our likenesses and images and
voices. If we don't win these
two, acting and writing might
cease to be a viable career in
the future. Now, I know that
sounds dramatic, but it is the
truth. Can AI be a storytelling
tool that we can use to tell
compelling stories and move you?
Yes, totally in the right hands.
In the hands of the studios, it
will be a cost cutting tool. And
what they will cut out will be
humans. If you want a live human
heart, behind the entertainment
that you consume, we have to win
this. How can you support if you
know an actor or a writer has a
podcast or selling something if
they have a side gig if they're
in Kenya, patronizing Tommy
level?
Adam Curry: Dummies. Dummies.
Your audience doesn't care if a
computer wrote the script.
They're watching a movie about a
doll. It's your stupid. Get
you're
John C Dvorak: not even a movie.
According to most of the reviews
I've seen so far about these two
movies. Oppenheimer is too long
and it stinks. And Barbie is
just a one long advertisement
for Mattel. I have a clip
Unknown: one word seems to have
captivated movie audiences this
weekend. Barbin Heimer two films
that couldn't be more different
released on the same day. But
they've managed to revive
something a lot of people
thought was dead the summer
movie spectacle at a time when
the industry is in crisis. I
bought my tickets months ago,
Americans are back at the
theaters many dressed in pink
lining up to see two films with
no connection Hi Barbies. Hi Can
the bright pink comedy Barbie
Barbie Barbie shards
and the dark historical trauma
Oppenheimer movie goers are
leaning into the wildly
different tones? Some 200,000
People bought advanced tickets
to see both movies on the same
day. According to the National
Association of theater owners.
We saw Barbie at three And then
we're doing up in Hayward six,
so it's like a full day thing.
But the industry is in dire
straits. Ticket sales haven't
fully recovered from the
pandemic down 20% Since 2019,
and summer sequels like Indiana
Jones and Mission Impossible are
no longer attracting audiences
the way they used to. Both fell
short of a T shirt is
complicating any recovery.
Hollywood screenwriters are on
strike for a third month joined
on the picket line by the Screen
Actors Guild eight days ago. 10s
of 1000s are out of work
production on new films halted.
movies don't write themselves,
you have to have actors in front
of the camera. So this is going
to be very important that this
gets resolved the sooner the
better.
So while the Barbie and
Oppenheimer bump is keeping
movie theaters alive, the big
question is what's next with no
big summer blockbusters on the
horizon? And actors potentially
unable to promote upcoming films
if this strikes stretches on?
Adam Curry: Well, now what
wouldn't you wouldn't you be
surprised to find out that there
is something that's next
Unknown: next time Jamie Foxx
over the weekend. The actor was
spotted in public for the first
time since being hospitalized
back in April for what a
representative referred to as an
unspecified medical emergency.
While in the brand of video this
is obtained by TMZ the Golden
Globe winner is seen here on a
boat, cruising down the Chicago
River looking cheerful, smiling
and waving at the camera, even
tossing up a piece sign for the
video. Since April. few updates
have been provided on foxes
health but back in May his
daughter Corinne shared on
social media that her dad was
back at home he's recuperating
in place pickleball so we're
happy to see Jamie back in
action. Of course we wish him
the best on his recovery.
Adam Curry: And right on cue
Netflix releases the summer
blockbuster. They clone Tyrone
which looks fantastic. It's an
it's now streaming on Netflix.
It's Jamie Foxx. It's almost
like a take off on a
blaxploitation movie from the
70s looks hilarious. With pimps
and hos. And then clones is
fantastic. And all of a sudden,
right in the middle of the
strike when you've got these two
dogs of movies out there that
the M five M is desperately
trying to tell tell you that Oh,
no, you you don't just want to
see one you want to get tickets
to both of them. Yeah, that's
what I want to do. Jamie Foxx
lives
Unknown: again to tell you how
far it took me and how it
brought me back. I went through
something that I thought I would
never ever go through. I know a
lot of people were waiting, you
know, wanting to hear updates,
but to be honest with you. I
just didn't want you to see me
like you know, I want you to see
me laughing and having a good
time partying, cracking a job
doing a movie television show I
didn't want you see me with a
with two jobs running out and
trying to figure out if I was
gonna make it through and be
honest with you, my sister did
addiction. My daughter Corinne
Marie saved my life. So to God
to a lot of great medical
people. I'm able to leave you
this video. I cannot tell you
how great it feels to have your
family chicken in such a way and
y'all know they kept it airtight
they let in and out. They
protected me and that's what I
hope that everyone could have in
moments like that, you know, by
being quiet. Sometimes things
get out of hand people say what
I got to believe said I was I
was blind but as you can see as
you can see the eyes are
working. working just fine.
Adam Curry: What since when do
we have to prove that I'm not
blind by moving his eyes back
and forth? This is weird.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think
that had to do he had I think
gray bar A from the backs and
something which paralyzes your
half your body and again, does
weird things to your eyes and
they had it there was a clip
floating around the internet of
him with his eyes. They showed
his eyes. And they were a wreck.
And I mean it wasn't it was like
beyond anything, anyone could
actually do what he was doing.
And so and because I had a
friend who had this ailment
years ago and he he was had his
eyes were shot because when I
wouldn't move and it was really
it was painful to move the other
one and so the I got a hold of
an ophthalmologist specialist
from the University of
California who said who told him
to patch the good eye, which is
the key to Getting out of that
mess. And that worked. He's
fine. But yeah, so that so he I
think that was a reflection of
that. I don't know why they put
that clip on the net. It was
disgusting was eyes going every
which way.
Adam Curry: I just find the
timing. very coincidental.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's good
timing somebody's going to do in
high fives. someone's doing now,
a couple of things that I've
noticed in this bull crap. First
of all, when I was a kid, there
we go. Double features were
common, especially on the
weekends. Yes, double feature.
So it was a double feature. You
go see were moving, there'd be
another one. But the other thing
is I noticed Margot Robbie and
the crew of Barbie. They've been
showing up on these talk shows
that they're not supposed to
show up on really? Yeah, and it
goes like this. Oh, we recorded
this a couple of weeks before
the strike. And I don't believe
a word of it. Well, it was one I
think it was Kelly Clarkson or
one of the people had had the
whole crew on they had Robbie
and the big L for the main
actresses. And they didn't have
rentals, but they had a resume
there was all this bullcrap. But
how it was recorded weeks ago.
I'm just not buying it. I think
they desperately had to get some
publicity for this movie.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, they do
the junkets you know, I was
listened to Fran Drescher on a
hate listen with Kara Swisher.
And oh, yeah. How did
John C Dvorak: you get any
clips? No, no, this listen up in
that hateful.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, but I like
Fran Drescher. I kind of like
her. You know, I
John C Dvorak: admire is
especially as the head of the
Union, you know
Adam Curry: that she created the
nanny. She wasn't just an actor.
She created it. She wrote it.
She executive produced it. That
was all her deal. I didn't know
that. No, well, good for her. So
apparently they asked Rosie
O'Donnell to be the, the head of
the of the Union. And Rosie said
no, but you need Fran Drescher.
Anyway. So the union, here's
what they did. So they the
contract expired on June
30 31st, whatever. No. 30th and,
and they asked for an extension.
And so Fran thought okay, well,
and the lawyers thought, okay,
so they're coming up with
something they they cancelled a
few meetings during that
extension. And then they
basically said, Yeah, you know
what, we got nothing for you.
But in that in that interim
period, they had just enough
time to promote these movies.
She got hoodwinked. They
hoodwinked her for an extra 12
days.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that was a
good move is a great move.
Adam Curry: So smart, that mean
day holes, but okay. You do.
Yeah. These are tech companies
to people remember? So, my
goodness. Ken and I think that
it's over late night talk TV
shows people have already moved
on. What do we do not we but
what are people doing at night
when they're in bed or when
they're getting ready to go to
bed? They're watching tick tock.
They're not gonna go back to
watching Jimmy Fallon. That's
over by the time the writers
come back and the strike is
over. No one's gonna care. They
don't care about the celebrities
because no one watches award
shows anymore. They just don't
care you
John C Dvorak: say something?
They have to have some because
they gotta sit down and think
about this because when when and
I didn't believe these numbers
when they came out. I think you
brought him up and I was at
bullcrap sounds about that?
Jimmy? That Greg Gutfeld was
getting bigger ratings and then
the night shows on the network's
correct much bigger Well, not
much but they were bigger. He
beat all those guys. Yeah. And
Gutfeld show is just kind of a
it's a low budget show it's
pretty much the same gas is not
really there's no anything going
on besides gut feel doing one
liners and the guest trying to
be funny. And there's not much
to it. You don't have you know
even movie very
Adam Curry: cheap production no
writing
John C Dvorak: our writers I
don't know if you want to say
that. But I thought it was no
writing. There are writers
surprisingly write a gut feel
the gut feeling writes
Adam Curry: himself, I think but
is he a member of the Union?
John C Dvorak: I wonder I don't
know. Probably not. stand up
comic. No stand up comics or
remember that union.
Adam Curry: So we had a dinner
Friday night here in the hill
country dinner with some of the
locals. Which one is the
international arms dealer? Oh,
yeah. And then he by the way, he
served some dynamite wine. I
asked him to send me all the
details. I think he's still
drunk, so he didn't send To me,
but I asked him to.
John C Dvorak: He's all sitting
here just to get the ball.
Remember what it said? Dude, I
Adam Curry: was drunk. I don't
remember. It was he had so we
had two different champagnes to
start with including a JCB. Are
you familiar with the JCB?
John C Dvorak: Not offhand.
Adam Curry: And, and I really, I
don't want to embarrass myself,
but I will get the information
for you. But I'm really dynamite
wines. And yeah, we had lobster
rolls. And it was it was it was
actually a celebration for
Tina's birthday. So he threw a
little birthday party for him up
on the hill, at the
international arms dealers
house. And so of course, you
know, he's nice and sauced up
and like how's business. So he's
actually the lawyer for the arms
dealer. And the end so I got a
little lowdown on how it works,
because he's, you know, he's
there's two more aircraft C
130s, that have gone to Entebbe,
which is Uganda. And so he tells
me how it works. The way it
works is, his client is of
course, the actual arms dealer.
And then his client buys the
aircraft from the US government,
while simultaneously sell
selling it to a private dealer
in Uganda. So he actually owns
the aircraft for about five
minutes. And then guess who buys
it from that guy in Uganda?
Zelinsky the United Nations? Oh,
really? Yes, really. And the
United Nations is down. They're
collecting gear. And now they're
showing up in news reports
because we know that there's
something going on with the
weapons from from Ukraine going
down to Africa. And here's a
report from Turkish Radio
Television.
Unknown: Russia's assault on
Ukrainian southern ports
continues. At least 60,000 tons
of grain had been lost. Grain
prices have risen and fears that
food prices and food insecurity
will follow.
Wednesday saw the largest single
day increase.
Adam Curry: This is a guy from
the United Nations and wheat
Unknown: prices since the full
scale invasion commenced. Some
will go hungry, some will
starve, many may die.
Russia claims its targeting fuel
facilities tied to a Ukrainian
attack on a bridge in Russian
controlled Crimea days ago. But
Keefe says Moscow's attacks on
crucial grain distribution for
the rest of the world is tied to
Russia pulling out of the Black
Sea grain deal. On Friday,
Ukrainian president Solinsky
promised our response showed yes
or resist Cara Katie drop
someone in Russia hopes they can
turn the Black Sea into the area
of arbitrary action and
terrorism. They will not
succeed. We know how to defend
ourselves.
The Lansky spoke on Friday with
Turkish President Erdogan who
said he's willing to talk
directly with Vladimir Putin
again, and possibly meet with
him next month in Turkey as
these two children,
we believe the Russian
Federation should be brought to
the table again, there is a high
probability that solutions other
than this would be collision and
will endanger security and
Moscow says it will treat ships
heading toward Ukrainian ports
now as hostile subject to search
or attack.
You go when you goes a little
blue. All ships, all vessels
proceed into the black sea
waters and Ukrainian ports
are we it by US
carriers of military cargo
loaders.
Moscow says it is willing to
rejoin the Green Deal only if it
gets economic concessions from
the West, is the Lansky and
Putin have both been trying to
court leaders in Africa who
stand to lose the most by the
grain deals collapse. Putin has
promised to send them free
grain. What's olanski says Putin
's latest aggression will cost
African lives.
Adam Curry: I am now thinking in
light of this conspiracy theory
we have part of eating bugs that
that Russia may be and one of
our producers actually turned me
on to this idea. Russia may be
stopping these grain exports to
Africa because Putin knows this
is weapons going down there.
What how else are they? How else
do you ship the weapons from
Ukraine to Africa?
John C Dvorak: That's not a bad
thought.
Adam Curry: Guys. I thought it
was a very good thought. And by
the way, we now know the UN is
down. They're buying stuff. What
John C Dvorak: is driving them
down? That's for sure.
Adam Curry: Then why are they
buying stuff? Why are they
buying C 130? What is the UN
doing in Uganda? What is the UN
doing in Africa? What is the UN
How about Sudan?
Unknown: A food crisis looms
over war torn Sudan critical
infrastructure in the capital
Khartoum and neighboring cities
of Khartoum, north and Omdurman
has been damaged, resulting in
the closure of more than 90% of
the food processing facilities.
And there's little help in
sight. Escalating violence means
humanitarian organizations are
unable to safely operate. And
the warring parties have been
accused of that and disrupting
the flow of aid,
the ongoing conflict imperfect.
It makes it more difficult for
us humanitarian actors to
deliver this is a un guy
assistance is the life saving
assistance is to go on.
Since Sudan's armed forces and
the paramilitary rapid support
forces began fighting in April
supply channels to the capital
Khartoum have been cut off,
causing many regions to run out
of food. The basic necessities
are extremely scarce, including
flour milk has been products,
edible oil and beverages, as the
inventory is dwindling, and the
price is constantly rising. Now
already to an exaggerated degree
and it's still going with no
sign of stopping. And the
scarcity of resources means
farmers are unable to plant
their crops in time.
People are struggling to get by,
no one knows what would come
tomorrow.
As the violence continues and
relief supplies remain
inaccessible in many areas. 10s
of 1000s of people are at risk
of starvation.
Adam Curry: Yeah, um, first of
all, what is his war in Sudan.
John C Dvorak: And it might clip
so we can get this catch up. But
that is the update on our
second.
Adam Curry: Thank you. I'm glad
you have this
Unknown: in Sudan.
The UN reports to enter you
could have warned me 1000 people
have been displaced just in the
past week as fighting rages
between the army and the
paramilitary rapid support
forces or RSF. In the four
months since the conflict
erupted, some 2.6 million people
have been internally displaced
and over 730,000 fled Sudan
survivors of the 2003 genocide
in Darfur for say the targeting
of the most elite people and
today's conflict resembles the
ethnic cleansing suffered in the
region. 20 years ago, the
International Criminal Court
launched an investigation last
week into possible war crimes
and crimes against humanity. And
therefore, this is ICC
prosecutor Karim Khan,
we are by any analysis not on
the precipice of a human
catastrophe, but in the very
mists of one it is occurring,
and makes my analysis and my
prayer and advice that we must
act urgently collectively to
protect the most vulnerable.
Adam Curry: Okay, I don't
understand. I know the Dutch
heli battalion because I was
with them in Iraq in 2003. For
two weeks, they all went to
either Afghanistan, or Mali or
dark for and they all pulled out
in the last couple of years. And
now all of a sudden, it's a crap
show over there. This smells, it
really smells. And by the way,
John C Dvorak: what about this
rapid force, whatever it is this
this group via that's causing
all the trouble. We don't have
any explanation or any
deconstruction by the mainstream
or anybody else about what the
hell's going on. This is some
sort of a screwball thing that I
just get the distinct impression
were behind because Sudan is
part of the West Clarke seven.
Adam Curry: It's funny you say
that? Maybe we should just play
that for a second. The West
Clarke seven always good to
remember
Unknown: seven countries in five
years, starting with Iraq and
then Syria, Lebanon, Libya,
Somalia, Sudan and finishing off
Iran. Yeah, and
Adam Curry: if you hadn't, in
case you hadn't noticed, Iran's
cranking up again,
Unknown: the new military moves
the US is making as tensions
rise with Iran, the Secretary of
Defense sending Marines and more
warships to the Middle East
after a Ron's attempt to seize
two oil tankers in international
waters. ABCs Inez de la Katara
has the latest now from London.
Good morning to you and us.
Adam Curry: From London. Let's
get the spooks on the line.
Unknown: Bad morning today.
That's right. The US deploying
new assets to the Middle East
amid growing tensions with Iran
Adam Curry: who gave the order
to deploy new assets. Where's
the President saying? I think we
should deploy some assets
because this is what's going on
American people. No, no, no, no,
no, let's just do
Unknown: it. Defense Secretary
Lloyd Austin ordering additional
warships and forces does he get
Adam Curry: to do that? Void
Austin. Yeah, I think I'll just
order some warships over there
to
Unknown: the region. And that's
on top of the Navy destroyer F
16. And f 35 is also being
deployed US Central Command
saying this is all meant to
deter Iran destabilizing
activities in the Strait of
Hormuz with the US stopping Iran
from seizing two oil tankers
traveling through internet
tional waters earlier this month
CENTCOM says that in the last
two years, you're on has
attacked, seized or attempted to
seize nearly 20 internationally
flagged merchant vessels. Now
there are questions as to
whether this could all be part
of a tit for tat, because the US
has also been seizing oil
tankers, an effort to crack down
on shipments of Iranian oil
evading US sanctions.
John C Dvorak: We have, we have
one of these tankers that we
grabbed, yes, just off the coast
of Texas. The Everclean is
they've been trying to sell off
the oil to the Texas refiners
and nobody will buy it,
Adam Curry: one touches it. By
the way, Victoria Nuland has
announced you will soon be
visiting South Africa. And we
grieve we grieve for you South
Africa, because when she visits,
you know, no good is going to
come from that.
John C Dvorak: So there was a I
guess it was running today, but
it was online. It was Margaret
Brennan to Face The Nation with
with burns.
Adam Curry: Ah, did you get any
clips?
John C Dvorak: I have one clip I
couldn't. I clicked I recorded
the whole thing and listen to
it. And I it's better for me to
summarize what Byrne said.
Because Burns is a master at
really talking slow and not
really telling me anything you
really want to know. And I'm
talking about William Burns the
head of the CIA. Yeah. And he,
he does have to end this was
taught and the other reason I
don't have more eclipses up this
one is because it was obviously
scripted. And I'll tell you some
of the things that we're missing
that any journalists like
Brennan or any or Mark Martin
have done. There's no question
about Ukraine and NATO. There's
no question about Ukraine in the
EU. There's nothing about Putin
his real motivation for doing
this. There's nothing about us
setting him up or goading him.
There's nothing about Iran
that's meaningful. There's no
quick questions. And so I just
so I have this one clip. Which
brings me to a question about
the clip. Because I think it's
the only reasonable clip and
this is the very beginning of
the show. This is Brandon and
burns.
Unknown: You've got the whole
world to watch right now. So I
know you're busy. Man, I want to
start on Ukraine and Russia with
this anniversary. on the cusp of
Russia's invasion, you fluted
key. And you told President
Solinsky tell me if this is
right, the Russians are coming
to kill you. Was that the very
first thing you said,
when the very first thing I said
to President Solinsky. But
President Biden didn't ask me to
go to Cuba to lay out for
President Solinsky, the most
recent intelligence we had which
suggested that what Vladimir
Putin was planning was what he
thought would be a lightning
strike from the Belarus border,
to seize Kyiv in a matter of a
few days, and also to seize an
airport just northwest of cube
called gusta mouth, which he
wanted to use as a platform to
bring in Arabic or airborne
troops as a way again, of
accelerating that lightning
conquest of Kyiv. And I think
President Solinsky understood
what was at stake and what he
was up against, are Ukrainian
intelligence partners also had
good intelligence about what was
coming as well. But I do think
that the role of intelligence in
this instance what we're able to
provide to presidents Lenski not
just on that trip, but you know,
throughout the course of the
war, have helped him to defend
this country with such courage
and tenacity. And I think that
made a contribution.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so yeah,
the whole thing is like this,
Adam Curry: they're letting this
they're hanging Zelinsky out to
dry.
John C Dvorak: Well, whatever
the case is the point I get out
of this particular clip, and the
only one that was really worth
playing, because as you can
tell, you know,
Unknown: nothing or nothing.
John C Dvorak: So is, hey, if we
knew so much about this in
advance months in advance to
that extreme that he says he has
to fly, he personally has to fly
to Kyiv to tell Zelinsky he's
gonna dead Putin wants to kill
him.
Adam Curry: Why didn't we put a
stop to it to not because what
really happened is he went there
and said, Hey, we the CIA are
going to kill you, unless you
send these arms down to Africa.
Because and I think this is
what's going on. According to
economic policy Journal, the
Chinese planted with 300 million
Chinese and Africa and take over
the continent. But I think
that's what's going on. We just
hate let's start a whole bunch
of wars down there. The Chinese
will stay away until we can
figure it out. Send more guns,
John C Dvorak: if you remember,
during the Libyan conflagration.
When we went after Qaddafi, out
of the blue for no good reason
the Chinese had set up shop and
had built a huge complex just in
Tripoli somewhere and it's still
there as a shell because we bomb
the crap out of it. The Chinese
scampered off, never to return.
So you might be right about the
Chinese And because the Chinese
have been working in Africa
since way before we started this
show, and we've documented it,
both of us
Adam Curry: and they don't like
conflict, the Chinese.
John C Dvorak: They're like
Millennials are non
confrontational.
Adam Curry: The Chinese
Millennials are not. They don't
don't cut in line. They can't
tell time. No, that's, that's
John C Dvorak: from my
experiences. All they do is cut
in line, but that's 10 bills.
All right.
Adam Curry: So let me wrap up
Africa. And then I think we can
I can show you where Ukraine is
going. So the What is this? The,
the, the head of I think it's
the Russian army, the ego
acrylic, Curie Lauf. Who is he
many ways a Russian official. He
now says the documents were
found in Ukraine, in the in the
labs that indicate that the
Pentagon plan to test medical
drugs on the African population.
became the Pentagon plan to use
US Army to test unregistered
medical drugs, and then submit
them for approval? And of
course, this involved agencies
such as meta biota, because why
wouldn't we implicate Hunter
Biden while we're at it as
beautiful? And then Russia. I
think this so I'm going to wind
up Ukraine here as we there's
not much more we have on Africa
right now. But when it comes to
Ukraine, this is what Vladimir
Putin thinks is going to happen,
Unknown: while Germany says it
will stand by Poland in case of
a potential attack from Wagner
fighters in neighboring Belarus.
Members of the Russian mercenary
group arrived at a base near the
Polish border earlier this week,
and are due to hold joint
military exercises with
Belarusian forces. Poland calls
that a provocation and is
deploying more troops on his
eastern side and response.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
alleged on Friday without any
evidence that Poland is plotting
to seize parts of Ukraine and
Belarus.
Adam Curry: Now one of our
producers sent me this and I
said, Nah, that doesn't sound
right. And then this clip shows
up. Like that could be a very
potential possibility. Let's put
Poland in there. Let's get those
guys going. Let's move the heat
off of us for a little bit.
Because we now need to change
the focus of the military
industrial complex, we need to
start sending weapons directly
to Africa. We now have reasons
for it because there's war. We
got crazy warlords in Sudan
we've got we need to arm the
United Nations because people
are hungry. We need to go there
with guns to feed the people. By
the way, why can't they eat
bugs? Seemed like if you're
hungry, there's plenty of plenty
of bugs there. So we're going to
ramp up something new
Unknown: videos showing a series
of explosions across Russia in
occupied Crimea have been posted
to social media sites. The
Moscow installed authorities on
the peninsula say an ammunition
depot exploded and caught fire
after being struck by Ukrainian
drones. The incident occurred at
cross nobody's Scott in central
Crimea. They said there were no
casualties in the blasts and
ordered an evacuation of the
area. Ukraine's military has not
commented on the explosions.
Let's welcome Marina Muran, a
military analyst at King's
College London, Marina welcome,
which is a spook College. Let's
talk about the drone attacks on
Russian occupied Crimea today.
Just days after that significant
attack on the courage Bridge,
which I'll remind our viewers
connects Crimea to Russia.
Adam Curry: So what we're seeing
here and we've been hearing it
for a while with the Kamikaze
drones with the Iranian drones
that sounds like a moped, we are
into a new form of drone
warfare. And this is not your
Reaper drones. This is not your
you know your your drones
controlled by dudes sitting in
the Nevada desert, way too
expensive, none at all. We need
to start sending some real
military stuff down to Africa.
This has to be aboveboard. We've
got to get some real funding for
it. But we need to do something
with Zelinsky. We need to throw
the guy a bone and who tells us
what's going on, but the anti
constitutionalist elitist
douchebag, Fareed Zakaria on
CNN. And he brings in Eric
Schmidt, the Google guy, the ex
Google guy who is now Everywhere
you don't want to see this guy
show up, certainly in defense.
And to start off this little
interview for Reid has to
disclaim. I should note,
Unknown: I am a senior advisor
at Schmidt futures his
philanthropic initiative.
Adam Curry: So this is a native
ad. This is a native ad. Now
listen to what Eric Schmidt is
saying.
Unknown: We meaning the
Ukrainians, the US, the West
need a solution to get them
moving.
So that gets us to drones. They
are already using an
extraordinary number of drums,
the Ukrainians, how many drones
are they using a week or a
month,
they're on track to using a
couple 100,000 drones in a year.
Most drones only survive one or
two flights before they fail or
they're blocked. I was shocked
at how good the Russians were at
electronic warfare and jamming.
Basically, everything you send
into this battlefield, which is
quite narrow, by the way, the
rest of the country is fine by
suspect on both sides. They jam
everything GPS is jam, but also
communications is jammed. So
normal drones don't work to the
Ukrainians have taken cheap
Jones and added additional
antenna antennas. One of things
that I learned for something
called a kamikaze drone, which
is a $400 Chinese drone, it
carries a small payload, it
moves so fast, you can't shoot
it down. I had thought that that
was the innovation of the war.
Two generals yesterday told me
that I'm wrong. And that what
they really need are cruise
missile drones can go really far
and carry it with wings and can
carry more payloads. I don't
think the Ukrainian drone
strategy is completely formed.
But they're building a
completely new theory of war,
Adam Curry: a completely new
theory of war. Yes, drone
warfare people.
Unknown: And this is where we
get to the solution for you. The
only way the Ukrainians can
break through these lines is
with massive numbers of drums,
massive number of drones or
massive number of human
casualties on both sides. The
beauty of the drone is it can
take out the other side's
military target without
collateral damage. Right. But
you're right, very concerned
about the propagation of this
war against other countries. But
I'm very concerned about its
effect on civilians, both the
Russians and Ukrainians. The
important thing about a drone is
it's a very, very targeted
solution. It's very inexpensive.
I think the goal that we should
have for Ukraine is to establish
the principle that there will
never be another land war, where
you can invade successfully,
that respecting the land, the
sovereignty of the land is
important. If you're mad at
them, that's fine. You can
negotiate. You can put pressure,
but you can't send artillery and
flatten cities, which is what
the Russians have been doing.
How do you get? How do you how
do you get to the solution of I
mean, is there can the
Ukrainians produce hundreds of
1000s of drones,
they have the money, and they
have the talent. They haven't
figured out how to build all the
factories yet. And they have to
be built in Ukraine for many,
many reasons. So what about 60
companies that are building
these types of drones? What's
interesting is it's just like
startups, in the sense that
they're not particularly well
coordinated, they're moving so
quickly. Remember, this is all a
year old, their operating
systems and software aren't very
integrated. They can't speak to
each other, all the problems
that you would imagine. Now, if
it were peacetime, you'd have an
overall strategy, you get them
organized, and so forth. What's
interesting to me is that this
is both a broadband war but it's
also a technology war in the
sense that it's innovative. And
innovation occurs in small
companies not in the MO D.
Adam Curry: There you go. So
Eric Schmidt is going to go in
he's going to you're going to
get all these companies going 60
companies and get all the
factories going is going to be
drone warfare of little stupid
drones over this five mile What
is it this this piece of land,
which should be the
demilitarized drone land filled
with cluster munitions? And as
he just said, everything else is
fine on the other side and
nothing's wrong on the other
side of that it's just a little
bit so they brought him in Hey,
Schmidt you do the drone stuff
over there and Ukraine we're
gonna move to Africa with the
real stuff
John C Dvorak: Well, that was a
depressing clip.
Adam Curry: Whenever Schmidt
shows up you can you know,
you're gonna get depressed What
are you going to do but what can
you say?
John C Dvorak: For one thing,
he's, he's a he's a bass a
Silicon Valley guy, period. He's
not a war guy is not a Defense
Department guys. Not a strategic
guys, not an extra General. He's
not as anything like that. He's
just a guy who does startups and
that's what he's talking about.
He wants to be in on the action.
When they when this whole thing
ends and about a God knows how
when it's going to end but it's
going to end eventually. And
then when they do the
rebuilding, he's going to have a
toehold in that part of it,
which is yes. For your money.
Yeah. Well, they already
Adam Curry: have have the money.
He just said it. They already
have the money. Good to go.
John C Dvorak: And I have no I
have not heard this notion that
100,000 drones because he's
Djoser set off in it. The
Russian ones are set off in
packs of five, I think. And they
you know, maybe there'd be 40 at
a time, but hundreds of 1000s of
these know. Now there's no do
nobody's building that many. If
you're the newsletter dip
brought brought to drone thing
and a long essay by three four
newsletters ago when did the
Iranian structure for drone
manufacturing was was revealed
with pictures and everything.
And it's no evidence of these
kinds of numbers.
Adam Curry: Anyway, to wrap this
all up, as you pointed out, this
whole grain problem is because
the UN because the UN tried to
put this deal together, they
promised things they said
alright, we'll get your ammonia
pipeline back up, we'll connect
one of your banks to Swift, and
they didn't do it,
John C Dvorak: then no, they
didn't do it on purpose. Yeah.
And
Adam Curry: meanwhile, they're,
they're down there in Africa.
Getting ready, ramping up. Which
is really hard for us because,
you know, we know a lot about
stuff, but man Africa, that's a
tough one. So we're gonna need a
lot of help from producers.
John C Dvorak: You're not gonna
get it we don't have to really
have so few African listeners.
Adam Curry: Well, should we just
pack it in then? Is that what
you're saying? The
John C Dvorak: show's over.
We're gonna finalize it after
the next episode.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your
courage say morning to you with
the man who put the sea in the
Chinese Millennials ladies and
gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other end the one and
only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: in the morning,
and Mr. Adam crayons, gypsy
Bucha Rafi near subsidy, what
are the names and the night,
nights out there in the
Adam Curry: morning to the
trolls holed up homeless a troll
stand still counts possible to
count these trolls 2323. Today,
that's pretty good,
John C Dvorak: I think is
normal,
Adam Curry: it's on par. It's
probably about 23
John C Dvorak: Well, we probably
lost a few people who went off
the air. It
Adam Curry: didn't help. We had
a little crash beforehand. Just
a little crash stuff does
happen. The trolls are listening
live and they got a real dose of
it today, because we started the
show seven minutes into it.
Things crashed at them they had
to wait around and wait for
stuff to happen. And
John C Dvorak: I were listening
to bemrose I think it was
bemrose and and who else is on
there are rock and roll.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we got the the

And well, so I saw the meme that
you posted in the newsletter.
Yeah, and exactly as this meme
said. I thought it was dumb.
Yeah, I don't get I do not
understand 99% of memes are just
dumb.
John C Dvorak: Now at which
you've just proved the point of
the meme,
Adam Curry: I know but it was
it's not funny. Shouldn't the
meme be funny? You know what
meme is? A meme is basically
diarrhea for
John C Dvorak: not a one liner.
It's not like you know, any
young men material
Adam Curry: memes or diarrhea
for the illiterate. That's what
that is. As people might think
before
John C Dvorak: you go on about
any of this. I think we should
hear from Claire daily while we
still have some listeners that
might be amenable to her pitch
Unknown: in the morning. If you
truly cared about media
deconstruction, and about John
and Adam, you'd be pushing value
for value. If everyone listening
would do sustain and donation
and be champagne all around.
Thank you for your courage.
Adam Curry: Thank you for your
courage. Claire Daly, everybody.
Even the socialists listen to us
now, you must be doing something
right
John C Dvorak: value for value
value for value if
Adam Curry: you cared if you
cared. Thank you for your
courage. Beautiful. Thank you,
Claire. We appreciate that. Yes,
that is the model that we
follow, where we give you the
show for free. You can listen to
it as much as you want, you can
share it with anybody. There's
no restrictions, no paywalls, no
subscriptions, no Patreon, no
things to hop over stoop under
don't have to have ad blockers.
There's no ads at all. All we
ask for is that you return some
value in time, talent, and
treasure. Quick note, I want to
there's some
John C Dvorak: pitch pitch
maniacs on LinkedIn, they keep
pitching me to, to, we should be
using them as consultants. Oh,
so really do premium content
Adam Curry: premium content as
well. We do premium content
twice a week. There you go. And
we do a Netflix season's worth
six hours more than six hours.
That's what we do.
John C Dvorak: We explain to
them we're throwing money away.
Adam Curry: We're well that may
that may be the case. But that's
but we are doing what we want to
do and the value for value
allows us to do that. Like sir
bemrose You know, he runs all of
the stream we got a void zero
running all of the
infrastructure we've got sir
Daniel our night doing night
stuff over that. No agenda
meetups.com. We've got our
artists, which we'll get to in a
moment. I want to read a note
from Matt. He says, I want to
let you know how much I cherish
the show rank, which was a
couple episodes ago was
seriously off the charts good. I
had been too busy with my new
business to do art. So I'm
switching gears for a bit and
doing a monthly donation to
share some of my recently mined
treasure to this one I'm talking
about. Here's the guy who gets
it time talent treasure. I can't
deliver my talent right now. So
I'm going to give you some
treasure instead. What are you
drinking?
John C Dvorak: It turns out I
find another candidate is bubbly
be you be li bleh bleh stuff
here the Buddha has said that
that's been doctored
Adam Curry: so on that tip has
value for value we love our
artists who returned value every
single show to us they are
listening live and they are
creating artwork that we can use
right after the show is done so
we can upload it for millions to
download and find it in the
podcast app I'm banning this
this big glass I'm banning this
practice it's take too long. We
thank Matt That data's Mata dat
Mata dat has method that had a
any artwork chosen previously I
do no I don't say so. I think
not. But Mata dad has been doing
artwork for a while.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and some of
it quite good.
Adam Curry: But just hasn't had
a had a win. And now we argued
quite a bit over what to choose
John C Dvorak: and was a very
hard piece to pick. It was if
Adam Curry: this was a spot the
spook and it showed a whole
bunch of stick figure kind of
I'd say almost like play mobiel
type people, and one of them did
not have pants on. And that of
course was expertly weaseled in
there based upon the
conversation we heard from the
CIA spook podcast, where they
said that people these days are
so distracted by their phones
that we can change our pants
take our pants off in public was
great. So so we figured this
John C Dvorak: piece did we I
had this piece was up against
what was the unit like something
smells better?
Adam Curry: Well, we had to
excoriate because there was some
issues with Oh, yes.
John C Dvorak: Polka tour as a
matter of fact, yes.
Adam Curry: Paul couture had
where it was it was his well
John C Dvorak: he had to not
curry not DeVore AK it was just
but he had a we I don't know
what is I don't know what his I
didn't know he wasn't the one
we're scoring.
Adam Curry: First of all, the
one that we actually came close
to choosing because of its
simplicity and beauty and laugh
factor was Bobby The up from Tim
Kenny Ben.
John C Dvorak: Yes, we almost
picked that piece.
Adam Curry: I still laugh when I
see it.
John C Dvorak: Throwback piece
to the old piece years and years
ago we had a piece that one
which was George and I'm sorry
Jeb Bush with these glasses on
in big giant eyeballs.
Adam Curry: Yes. Now the one
that I wanted, which we did not
choose was from correct to
record. He was CIA in Africa.
And the reason we didn't choose
it is because the the name tag
the badge that the spook is
wearing there in Africa with is
unreadable is unreadable with
incredibly racist depictions.
Just a piece that someone we
have to explore strategist
because of course in Africa
there's only savages with spears
and spears. Yes and only spears.
That wasn't a problem for us
know the frog. No, that's
John C Dvorak: fine. The
Adam Curry: problem was the see
at the spooks, but name tag was
too small.
John C Dvorak: Not CIA. Now I
picked I wanted to bring this up
Darren O'Neal did a piece of
Yeah, I use it for the
newsletter because I thought it
was kind of a nice piece. But
that is that reeks of mid
journey. And I mean reeks of it.
Oh, guys, yes. Yeah. So I don't
understand what Darren is doing
by doing AI art, which is what
is because we know Darren skill
skill set and his limitations.
This is not it. This is nothing
like Derrick could possibly do
in a million years. No, even
with clipart. So,
Adam Curry: and he submitted a
cheesecake piece which was
typical Darren, which was good,
John C Dvorak: but the
cheesecake was good, but it was
the fact was it was AI. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Still nice. How many
fingers does she have? Let me
say dough ImageReady
John C Dvorak: doesn't make that
mistake. Mid journey makes that
mistake to know I've never seen
a mid journey piece that has 10
fingers or anything is it's
dolly and some of the other ones
that really can't do fingers
Adam Curry: but it really just
had no humor just didn't it was
just surely just a
John C Dvorak: vicious
cheesecake. Girl just cheese
kind of a big a lot of good a
lot of bars.
Adam Curry: A lot of Barbie
stuff. No, no,
John C Dvorak: no eating enough
publicity. Yeah.
Adam Curry: The bill. Bill Gates
and Anthony wiener was cute. But
no, no, no, no. Yeah, Barbie
stuff. No, no, the closest the
book came close was the racist
depiction of the spook in
Africa. We couldn't read a sign.
And Bobby The app was funny. It
was simplistically some funny,
but it came very close. But we
congratulate meta dot meta dot
for being the selected art for
episode 1574. If you're using
one of those modern podcast
apps, you'll see the artwork
changing during the during the
show, it's really cool. If
you're using that in the car,
the article change if you're
using Android Auto or Car Play,
you'll see that on your
dashboard and it'll give you
another chuckle. Just an extra
dimension, so many cool things.
And of course, you can always
follow along at no agenda, art
generator.com You can follow
along live. And obviously you
can upload yourself and
participate. Thank you to all of
our artists, we really
appreciate you. Thank you for
delivering us fantastic time and
talent as always. Now to the
treasure. We thank our first and
top executive producer for
episode 1575 coming to us from
Texas from San Antonio. Eric
Reinhardt $1,000. And he says,
Adam and John, this is my first
time donating so please do
Unknown: D deuced.
Adam Curry: He says yalls
bitching during the donation
segment an episode 1573 was the
kick in the butt I needed.
Whoever said complaining never
gets you anything. I don't think
we were complaining. I think
we're laying out our case for
value for value. Let me know if
you want. I mean it's a little
different than complaining or we
never complain. No, we're just
telling you like it is we're
transparent we we give you
everything. We tell you that the
right hairs like we tell you
what what comes in, you can
counter it yourself. You'd be
surprised. You'd be surprised
when we only have five or six
executive producers. You know,
this is all we do. And we're
happy we had one. We had one
distro we had one now does he
not become a knight today? Does
he have no requests for
knighting? or anything of the
kind? Missy we have
John C Dvorak: even as we say
yeah, got the de douching so
this was his first donation. He
didn't ask we'll wait for him to
come back and tell us okay. All
right about that listed as a
night. I will read Michael
Pearson Aurora, Colorado. A nice
place no note so give him his
80108
Unknown: You've got karma,
John C Dvorak: so I'm thinking
Oh 108 Is the donation for a guy
with big tits.
Adam Curry: I do not I despise
that word boobs as okay tits.
It's just it's so crass.
John C Dvorak: It's it's the
right name and that's the that
is the doctor's name so they
call them
Adam Curry: doctors they call
them breasts You're kidding me?
John C Dvorak: They're not a
miss in Katy Texas chemistry
with six doctor
Adam Curry: do you go to?
Really? Okay.
John C Dvorak: Reminds me of the
joke. I won't do that. The joke
the pope the blind Pope joke
everyone knows the punchline.
Anonymous in Katy Texas. $600
says and not The miss so give me
a double the double of karma for
them. Okay oops the he or she
Adam Curry: has the he or she
here we go you've got karma all
right then we go to the big
blowout here sir 1% of the GTF
Oh, he's from Dixie Washington.
And he comes in with 45678 we do
like that and this change bumps
him up to Baron and you request
screw your freedom new and
welcome with the Constitution
because it's simply impossible.
For there too much to be too
much goat goat scream karma for
all in the morning gents. I am
back with more treasure with
this donation of 45678 I become
a baron ain't that great? Now
that I've launched my rap career
on no agenda, but not but I'm
thinking that I should keep a
day job I request to be named
the Baron of the free Republic
of Liberland. Contrary to the
information poured forth on air
on my last produce, no became a
train wreck. Liberland has
nothing to do with Washington
state where I presently live. It
is nestled in between Serbia and
Croatia, on the Danube River on
land that is not claimed by
either country. How about that?
I wrote. I didn't know that
study was
John C Dvorak: talking about lib
lib libs, lib libs in Washington
state which is loaded with them.
Adam Curry: Our relations with
our neighbors are becoming
friendlier all the time. Our
passport is gaining recognition
internationally as a valid
travel document and permanent
settlement of our land has
recently begun. Hold on a
second. Can we get passports to
this country?
John C Dvorak: Get us some
passports dude, yeah.
Adam Curry: We'd love to become
citizens. Our motto is live and
let live. Our government is
constitutionally kept lean and
limited through a combination of
strictly voluntary taxes as my
kind of taxes it may not take on
debt and it's allowed one job
only the protection of the right
to one's private property and
whatever they might do with it,
of which the most pressing is an
individual's own life. You could
say that we whip him with a
constitution. The one thing that
we're building is really
starting to happen. So I'm
encouraging all freedom loving
Gitmo nation inmates to check us
out get involved and even become
one of us. Faithfully
suppressing your exit strategy
1% at a time Well, I'm
interested I would like to I
would like some more information
about this and thank you for
your courage through you three

Adam Curry: once again to all of
our executive and Associate
Executive Producer 1575 Our
Unknown: formula is this. We go
out for young people in the
mouth
Adam Curry: I'm sorry I meant
the goat that meant the goat it
there we go goat goat it
John C Dvorak: to her into it. I
rarely see MSNBC but it did run
into a Nicole Wallace piece.
Adam Curry: Oh man, I tried to
run away from that. She is so
bad. She's not only bad. She's
looking bad. I mean, she's
John C Dvorak: starting to look
haggard, she's Yeah. Which is
something that women do not
like. By
Adam Curry: the way. That's only
we only saying that as
television producers. We have
experience we've been in the
business. We know what works. We
know what doesn't work. We've
never never made women twirl
around for us, but we do know
yet. She she needs to fix her
cheeks. It's time now. And I can
speak to this she needs to fix
her teeth. And the hairdo has
got to change I'm thinking of
Bob
John C Dvorak: thinking a bald
cut personally.
Adam Curry: Well, that'll
that'll be after you know,
everything happens when we shave
her head but that's so there's a
John C Dvorak: bunch of there's
a bunch of just errors and she
can't use she's not using the
right words. I'm gonna give some
of it away as we go. But she's
also very bigoted and the way
she presents everything. So
let's let's
Adam Curry: hold on, let's just
straight up tell people that she
used to be communications
director or spokes haul for the
Republican Party under Bush.
John C Dvorak: I believe so. He
Adam Curry: went to Bush so she
John C Dvorak: will you look it
up. But I could. She is now a
die hard Democrat. MSNBC hater.
Hater. She's a hater. And that
says here's hate right at the
beginning she's gonna have Eric
Holder on. It knows nothing
about anything but she's
bringing him on anyway to hate
gather hate together, just hey,
here's her intro listen to this.
Unknown: I want to ask you what
it is like for the men and women
working at the department to see
one of their leaders, Jack
Smith, targeted and threatened
by Donald Trump and his allies.
And I'm sure you and I have both
been attacked over Twitter by by
the choice indicted twice
impeached. Ex President
Adam Curry: Bush also mentioned
that Eric Holder was attorney
general, famously corrupt
Attorney General under President
Obama.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and he was
part of Fast and Furious and
gunrunning and the whole thing
and lying and lying and he's a
liar. He's a liar but the thing
about this though is she asked
to put in twice indicted twice
impeach yeah,
Adam Curry: that's, that's like
this, like you're saying to me,
you twice divorced? I've never
said that. No, of course not.
You would never say that.
Because you're not a hater like
Nicole Wallace.
John C Dvorak: That phrase
though, now, here we go. And I
did listen to this clip. And I
have a sub clip highlighting it.
She uses the wrong word. She's
trying to say condemn, but she
says condone Which one do you
want me to play the subclade
doll play to the big one is sub
clip as the short one. That's
true. That just highlights it.
The other one is in context.
Unknown: I think there's
something that people don't
understand that your family
worries and there is a
destabilizing nature to being
targeted by the leader of that
movement leader of the right, a
party that doesn't quickly
condone violence that doesn't
quickly condone anti semitism
that doesn't quickly condemn
racism, there is something
again, this is where the right
is on to a set of tools that
that more closely approximate
and autocrats tool.
John C Dvorak: Both she's a
bonehead. Yes. And yes, she will
say Republican Party because she
knows that she's bigoted at all
as it is. But now here's the sub
clip so everyone can remember
what she said. Listen to the
stupidity of these comments,
Unknown: leader of the right a
party that doesn't quickly
condone violence that doesn't
quickly condone anti semitism
that doesn't quickly condemn
racism now
Adam Curry: did at any point did
you hear Nicole dodge condemn
such condemned because you
correct yourself? Because she's
being sabotage. She's being
sabotage if they didn't let me
correct her on that from the
control room. That's,
John C Dvorak: I think they're
asleep and the control Portage.
But yes, they wouldn't quickly
condone racism, like the
Democrats would.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Well, as we
say, but the heart is full of
the mouth overflows with.
John C Dvorak: And there's a
Dutch phrase for that. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Vote hearts on hold
as follows dot Lok the month on
over.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Nick. Yeah.
Nicole Wallace with holder clip
three. Here we go with a WTF
clip
Unknown: what is available to
them or how they are at this
moment, this unprecedented
moment where they've been dying.
They've charged an ex president
and they seem to be on the
precipice of charging him again.
Yeah,
I mean, this is something that,
you know, has to have an impact
on people within the department.
I mean, these are strong folks.
And you know, they're used to
being criticized but the level
of criticism that you see Hear
the unfounded levels of
criticism that you see here are
really kind of unprecedented.
And so that's why as, as I said
earlier, I hope that those
people who are right minded will
come to the defense of the
people in the bureau, defensive
people at the Justice
Department, and understand that
these personal attacks on Jack
Smith and other people, you
know, I remember when, after the
court authorized search of the
MAR a Lago residence, the names
and the addresses of the who
actually conducted that search,
were publicized. And shortly
thereafter, a you know, a person
decided to attack the FBI office
in Cincinnati.
John C Dvorak: Wait. So a bunch
of Florida FBI guy supposedly
got outed,
Adam Curry: which I didn't hear.
You hear about. I didn't hear
about this.
John C Dvorak: I didn't, who I
know about the Cincinnati
office. But I never heard about
a public reveal of these guys
home addresses. And what's that
got to do with the office in
Cincinnati? And why does it he
mentioned Brett Kavanaugh, who's
whose house is personal
residence was actually attacked
by a bunch of left wing lunatic.
That's what about
Adam Curry: ism? John, that's a
false equivalency
John C Dvorak: never mentions
that, does he?
Adam Curry: Of course not. Why
would he?
John C Dvorak: So here we go
with the final clip on this
group.
Unknown: So there are real world
consequences for this, and you
put people's lives at risk for
no good reason. Now, you know,
people who sign up for work for
the FBI understand that they're
putting their lives at risk, and
they can, you know, face all
kinds of life and death
situations, but not these kinds
of life and death situations
that are perpetrated by people
who are former government
officials generally and
formulated by people or by a
person who was the former
president of the United States.
This is something again,
unprecedented, something that we
should not accept, and something
that we have to push back
against.
John C Dvorak: What about
Cavanaugh
Adam Curry: unprecedented
unprecedented for FBI perhaps? I
liked your I liked your
newsletter, analysis of Bobby,
the op and the and what what
went down with this censorship
hearing in? In the House of
Representatives? Yeah. You want
to reiterate that for a moment?
John C Dvorak: Well, there was a
effect. I think I have a clip.
It's not a Kennedy clip, but
it's a clip about the hearings
just doing find
Adam Curry: it talking to the
mic, though, because you're kind
of dropping out a little bit.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I'm sorry.
Again, to Mike has moved. You
didn't move it back. Don't freak
out.
Adam Curry: That mic is moving.
It's moving mic.
John C Dvorak: Let's see. Does
that sound better?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Now we can at
least hear you now. You're here.
Welcome.
John C Dvorak: Where is this
thing?
Adam Curry: I have some clips on
if you can't find it.
John C Dvorak: I can't find it.
But that'd be I'll tell you
what, what the deal is. So there
was this hearing out of the blue
with Kennedy coming into talking
about censorship and of course
tried to censor the hearing
alert with the clips about and
it I believe the whole thing was
scripted. And I believe Debbie
Debbie Wasserman Schultz was had
the script. She couldn't she
barely read it. And he got him
outraged. And the whole thing
was designed to get him
attention.
Adam Curry: And I'm, I'm gonna
agree with you on this because
they also put the heat seeking
missile, the Dumbo nobody cares
about because she doesn't have a
vote. The representative from
the Virgin Islands.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. What'd she
do in there?
Adam Curry: Well, she's great.
Well, first of all, she's black.
So that that Stacy Plaskett is
who we're talking about. So So
that's me. No, you can't. She
got special privilege.
John C Dvorak: Oh, here I got my
clips. I found them. Okay. This
is Jeffrey Tucker, discussing in
Jeffrey Tucker is one of the
talking heads in TD brings on
he's the head of some some think
tank and it's pretty good. It's
good. Jeffrey Tucker,
Unknown: good to see you again.
That's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you so much. Jeffrey. Some
Democrats signed a letter
calling for RFK Junior's
testimony to be canceled. Tell
us about that.
Well, it was it was actually
just an epic moment and in
history to see him there. And I
knew this was coming I guess you
know, two weeks ago when I've
been a little bit mum about it.
Because
Adam Curry: what was that?
John C Dvorak: No. It's the
silliest laugh.
Adam Curry: So he says I've been
a little bit mum about it.
John C Dvorak: That's keeping a
secret. This is in D D.
Unknown: And I knew this was cut
mean I guess two weeks ago when
I've been a little bit mom about
it?
Adam Curry: Do I have to
question this guy right away?
Unknown: Because I had a feeling
it was gonna be like this but
sure enough, so they Democrats
sent a letter try denouncing him
with
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. So we
need to know what this guy is
from because he knew it. That
means he must have informed
people that it was coming he
must have informed that that's
what it sounds like, if not the
No, he was informed that was
coming or if he knew it was
coming, then he might have
informed some political people
don't I'm just interesting,
because
Unknown: I had a feeling it was
going to be like this. But sure
enough, so they Democrats sent a
letter try it, you know,
denouncing him as anti Semite,
which the most absurd charged
and sure enough right out of the
bat, because immediately, the
Democrats passed a or tried to
rally around a move to go to
Executive Session, which is to
say, they wanted to go to a
secret session not available to
the public, so the public
couldn't see it. So in other
words, they're trying to censor
the hearing on censorship, I
have to say if it ain't people
but what if they should go to a
park and watch the whole thing
people need to see it because
it's odd, I'd forgotten that it
was possible to make good points
and good sense and rational
arguments inside science within
the halls of Congress. We think
we've we've we've gotten used to
what a clown show it is, he
showed show them up.
John C Dvorak: Interesting,
interesting go to clip you.
Unknown: He explained that the
First Amendment is really the
foundation of all the rest of
our liberties. He described it
as the fertilizer, the water in
the sun, to to democracy, but he
said without that sort of open
openness that all of our rights
become an ad become in danger.
And he said at least to dystopia
and totalitarianism. Here's the
thing that I started started
realizing as I was listening to
this hearing, we had the
censorship had been so extreme
and so tight, a lot of us with
who were dissenters at all the
COVID crackdowns and, and even
on the Biden laptop and
everything else, we might have
been in the overwhelming
majority the entire time. But
because of the censorship, we
were made to feel isolated and
strange and like persecuted
group of dissenters, not even a
group, a lot of us just felt
alienated and isolated. Now we
realize looking back, that was
all intentional. That was the
goal was to drive us out of the
public debate in a quasi martial
law style censorship.
John C Dvorak: I liked that
analysis.
Adam Curry: Yes. And it goes
well, with we with what you said
that this hearing was scripted
to a degree that that censorship
thing would come up, but also as
an actual, perhaps even a stress
test from the real movers and
shakers in the Democratic Party
to see if Kennedy can really
stand up to it.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah,
there's definitely elements, the
stress test is on. We only have
I mean, it's a year away the
election. But the real thing, it
all begins pretty much the
beginning of next year of with
these primaries in Kennedy's got
to have turned around. I mean, I
had the dinner table
conversation with the kids. And
they all think Kennedy's a
conspiracy theorist. So that,
that that's the image of him has
been put in play and is working
well so far.
Adam Curry: Well, of course,
it's, it's always helped by the
Kennedy family themselves.
Unknown: Tonight, one of
America's most famous families
engaged in a very public feud.
Hi, I'm Jack Schlossberg. And I
have something to say
Jack Schlossberg the grandson of
President John F. Kennedy and
the son of Caroline Kennedy,
taking to Instagram to speak out
against his relative Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.
Let's not be distracted again.
By somebody's vanity project.
He's training in on Camelot,
celebrity conspiracy theories
and conflict for personal gain
and fame.
He's not alone. RFK Jr, Sister
Kerry Kennedy and nephew, former
Congressman Joe Kennedy have
condemned the remarks. And now
Republicans are using rhetoric
as a tool to attack the Biden
administration on Capitol Hill.
slandering me Tom DeLonge
radically dishonest RFK Jr.
rejects the idea that his views
are racist or anti semitic but
members of his family are
backing away and putting their
support behind Biden's
reelection. The Kennedy family
has a deep relationship with the
Biden's Joe Biden served with
Ted Kennedy in the Senate for
decades and appointed several
Kennedy's to administration
posts.
Adam Curry: You know, this is a
clip this is a 19 year old, busy
19 I think he's 19 Was he born
93 Now he's 30 But when he was
19 This is a bunch of stuff
being self made your copertura
hell, this kid's projecting.
Really? Who's traded this
slosberg kid?
John C Dvorak: Oh, the
Schlosberg kid is. Again, I
suspect the script involved. No
projecting it all
Adam Curry: in October 2015.
After graduating from Yale,
which GE if you're maybe related
to the Kennedy's you get in
there. He started working at a
Japanese internet e commerce
company in Tokyo, of course, why
not? In 2016, he worked as a
staff assistant, the Bureau of
Oceans and international
environmental and Scientific
Affairs, part of the US
Department of State. G, you
think that he's trading off of
the Kennedy name? I think he's a
spook, he obtained the Medal of
Freedom Award dinner to
commemorate the 50th anniversary
of his grandfather's death. Come
on kid care. So, Anderson Cooper
had had had the the main actor
on his show. Stacy Plaskett, the
representative from the Virgin
Islands, who was just, I mean,
the thing she was saying was, it
was I mean, she could go work
for NPR. She's so bigoted. And
so so actually, Anderson Cooper
did a pretty good job. He gives
us some of the clips from the
hearing, and he's got her on.
And so I this is a nice little
series democratic Stacey
John C Dvorak: Plaskett is the
ranking member of the
subcommittee on weaponization of
the federal government, which
held the hearing today she
pushed back on the comments you
heard Kennedy make prior to the
hearing, and COVID was
ethnically targeted.
Unknown: These are individuals
who would bring a witness who's
promoted a video to compare the
COVID vaccine to the Tuskegee
trials. The Tuskegee trials were
a very difficult time in black
America, were individuals who
were already sick with a disease
were then reviewed, experimented
on who already had a disease, to
see how far that disease went.
And making the comparison to
manip that manipulates and preys
on black people's feelings about
the atrocities of the past, in
order to prevent them from
seeking life saving vaccines in
the present.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is a
conflagration of epic
proportions. It's really
unbelievable. And part of the
problem is because that clip,
and we haven't been able to
clean that clip up so you can
actually hear what he said. But
he talked about studies that
suggest and and, you know, and
medical and America's history
with Bill Clinton had to
apologize for the Tuskegee
experiments. But okay, let's go
to the next clip.
John C Dvorak: What was wrong
with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Being
there today? I mean, why did it
so angry you? Are Apollo you?
Unknown: I think that what's?
Well, I think what's so
upsetting about my Republican
colleagues is that they are
giving a platform to an
individual who is spewing
conspiracy theories that are
based on quasi science preys on
false information, who is trying
to get individuals pitted
against one another who was
trying to deny people life
saving information. We know that
his group, his Children's
Defense Group, were the ones who
spread information in Minnesota,
which led to a rash of measles
outbreak among the Somali
community because they believe
that those vaccines were in fact
harmful to them. These are the
kinds of things that Robert F
Kennedy Jr is doing. And he's
using his family's name as a
shield to be able to reach him
and let individuals know that
this is not who his father was.
This is not who his uncles were,
and we need to stop giving him
the credibility that they had
because this guy is not he's not
safe for the American people's
the things that he says is going
to get us all in trouble.
Adam Curry: He's not safe he's
not brand safe for the American
people. Now taking into account
we believe that Bobby The Kay is
an OP Bobby The up by the CIA.
What better place to have Miss
Plaskett on then former CIA
employee Anderson Cooper to keep
running the test the stress test
will Bobby the RP a boy
John C Dvorak: what happens what
happens with the stress tests
you get new information comes to
light you should and so now they
have to deal with this Somalia
measles outbreak so let's put
that on the list of things to
fix. And we have one more clip I
want to play another part of the
hearing where you called out
your and colleagues for inviting
him.
Unknown: They intentionally
chose to elevate this rhetoric
to give these harmful dangerous
views a platform in the halls of
the United States Congress.
Adam Curry: I mean, she is
obviously reading let's just
let's just call it what it is.
She's this is not an outrage
person who has something to say
she's an actor.
Unknown: That's endorsing that
speech. That's not just
supporting free speech. They
have co signed on idiotic,
bigoted messaging.
John C Dvorak: He's also
obviously running for president,
how much of that plays into why
you think he was invited there
today?
Unknown: Well, we know that
Chairman Jordan, my colleague,
who I sit next to the chairman,
gets his marching orders from
Mark Meadows from Donald Trump,
potentially from Speaker
McCarthy, I don't think he has
much say, and what happens in
his conference. But those are
the individuals who are
determining that this committee
should be used to test run every
conspiracy theory that's going
to be used in the 2024.
Adam Curry: Notice how she uses
the term test run. And that
