Adam Curry: I'm an egg white. Adam curry, Jhansi Dvorak July
0:04
23 2023 And this is your award winning accumulation media
0:07
assassination episode 1575. This
0:10
Unknown: is no agenda
0:12
Adam Curry: vanning Bug ad we're over a decade and broadcasting
0:16
live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in February to
0:18
number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
0:22
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're at
0:24
we're all congratulating the new sumo champ finally from July I'm
0:28
John C. Dvorak.
0:33
Adam Curry: Okay, we waited two minutes for you to set up the
0:38
opening and that was it.
0:39
John C Dvorak: No, I didn't forgot to reveal the other
0:41
opening. Forget it. Who knows this by the way, that's the show
0:48
we were hitting the show the actual show. No, but
0:50
Adam Curry: yeah, it was like what we did before the show and
0:53
it gives the people who are listening and idea that you
0:56
know, you should tune in live to the show because it's cool.
0:58
There's there's extra bonus stuff happening.
1:02
John C Dvorak: Bonus Yes, there is a lot of material at the
1:05
beginning of the show is true. We talked about the bonus clip,
1:08
which we both got and you want to say something about the bonus
1:10
clip because we both got the bonus clip. We got the both of
1:13
us have a bonus clip that we both got. And we both position
1:19
it exactly the same spot in the show. Yes. Which will be a
1:23
donation segment bonus clip just saying
1:29
to every bride
1:30
Adam Curry: so there's reasons to listen to the donation
1:32
segment. Besides listening for your own donation, there's fun
1:35
stuff in there. I have a bonus clip which I'd like to start
1:39
with. Okay, from the anonymous controller, you know the air
1:43
traffic controller?
1:44
John C Dvorak: Oh, yes, this is always good stuff. Yes, he
1:47
Adam Curry: has two boys. He and his wife have two boys nine and
1:49
11 year old and the kids like to walk around the house and
1:53
pretend to do intros to the show.
1:57
He says it only gets awkward when they talk about D douching.
2:00
Someone in front of the other homeschooled kids whose parents
2:03
may actually still be douchebags. But every Thursday
2:06
and Sunday, my wife or I will say to them hey guys, guess what
2:09
day it is only for them to give us an intro and intro to the
2:13
show. I figured we should listen to today's intro because these
2:17
are podcasters in space. It's Sunday July 23 2023. This is
2:22
your award winning get more niche media assassination
2:25
episode 1575. This is no agenda coming to you live from the
2:30
heart of the Texas Hill Country here and FEMA Region number six
2:34
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry and from Northern
2:37
Silicon Valley where we are all wondering where the heck is the
2:41
evidence of the Canadian wildfires? I'm John Cena vorak
2:45
each part in buzz kill in the morning
2:52
John C Dvorak: this show elder abuse
2:54
Adam Curry: this show we have nothing to worry about. Dave
2:57
when we're gone there.
2:58
John C Dvorak: We just have those doing the show. It'll be
3:01
perfect. Yes, sounds get the timing down.
3:05
Adam Curry: It'll be fantastic. I love them. I just figured I'd
3:11
start off with some deconstruction some some fun
3:15
deconstruction because, man, the climate change stuff is just off
3:19
the
3:19
Unknown: hook. Tonight the dangerous heatwave spreading
3:22
across Europe as extreme temperatures fuel wildfires in
3:25
Greece were just outside Athens where it's been hovering around
3:28
110 degrees. They are still very much in this fight not only from
3:34
the air but also on the ground. This fire popping up just a
3:37
short time ago along this road leading to villages here we meet
3:41
Maria Bella Bonnie hurrying to make sure her grandmother was
3:44
okay. You're obviously worried about them. You were worried
3:46
about them. And her grandmother like so many others here lost
3:53
her home, but he's unhurt atmospheric conditions trapping
3:56
multiple heat domes across the center of the Earth is soaring
4:00
here in southern Europe. And it's becoming a deadly trend.
4:03
Scientists estimate more than 61,000 deaths on the continent
4:07
last summer could have been heat related. Highs now reaching 140.
4:13
In Italy, Sicily hitting 115 degrees in recent days, the
4:17
usually bustling streets of Sardinia mostly empty.
4:20
Adam Curry: So this is your typical M five M. conflagration
4:24
of a hot summer. And then all the fires could have been heat
4:28
related. These are there are there are fires in Greece right
4:32
now. It happens it's very dry. There's fires in Texas that
4:36
fires everywhere, but oh no, it could be heat or heat related.
4:39
That was ABC. Let's listen to what NBC has to say.
4:42
Unknown: Tonight. The Greek countryside is scorched earth,
4:45
the distill scorched earth being ravaged by climate change. In
4:50
this village west of Athens, a sea of charred black and a
4:53
chemical factory burnt to a crisp. This is all that's left
4:57
of his home outside of
4:58
Adam Curry: Athens wrapped This is your dystopian future.
5:01
Unknown: I wish this village two days ago, residents here now
5:05
picking up the pieces of their lives. This resident lost six
5:08
dogs several chickens and a goat when the flames now or at his
5:12
family home. This house go up in flames were you scared for your
5:20
life here? Yes, it's not over Greek authorities say 52 New
5:24
fires erupted today, as firefighters play Whack a Mole.
5:28
Almost as soon as a fire is contained. The heat and winds
5:31
pick up and the old fires are reignited. We have been watching
5:35
for the last hour as firefighting helicopters like
5:38
this one have been dumping water on this hotspot here in the
5:42
outskirts of Athens, while Europe sizzles under some of the
5:46
hottest temperatures ever recorded. The US also grappling
5:49
with triple digit temps, a staggering 86 million Americans
5:53
across the south and west under heat alerts tonight. Dramatic
5:56
video in Texas shows the moment a father busted his windshield
5:59
with a tire iron after his baby was accidentally locked in the
6:02
vehicle as the city of Miami
6:05
Adam Curry: what is that report that has nothing to do with
6:07
climate change. Oh, my baby's locked in the car. Well, that's
6:14
Unknown: exactly south and west under heat alerts tonight.
6:17
Dramatic video in Texas shows the moment a father busted his
6:20
windshield with a tire iron after his baby was accidentally
6:24
locked in the vehicle. As the city of Miami bakes amid a 41
6:28
day streak of 100 plus degree heat index. Tonight, millions of
6:32
Americans flocking to Greece in Italy to escape the heat only to
6:36
find hot seas and air.
6:37
Adam Curry: Wait a minute who escapes to Italy? millions
6:42
millions mind you millions of Americans going to Italy to
6:47
escape the heat. Really?
6:50
John C Dvorak: Didn't hear him say that. Listen,
6:51
Adam Curry: listen, listen. Listen. Listen. Listen,
6:53
Unknown: city of Miami bakes amid a 41 day streak of 100 plus
6:57
degree heat index. Tonight, millions of Americans flocking
7:00
to Greece and Italy to escape the heat. This is
7:03
Adam Curry: complete bull crap. Millions of Americans don't
7:06
escape to Greece and Italy to escape the heat. That's
7:12
ridiculous. That's
7:13
John C Dvorak: the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
7:15
Unknown: Only to find hot seas and air thick with smoke and
7:19
unrelenting summer with no break in sight.
7:22
Adam Curry: No break in sight. So
7:24
John C Dvorak: where was that report from
7:25
Adam Curry: NBC.
7:28
John C Dvorak: Millions of Americans flocking to Greece and
7:31
Italy to beat the heat.
7:33
Adam Curry: Yeah. Row row row is from Rogan's they're actually
7:39
John C Dvorak: to beat the heat.
7:41
Adam Curry: Yes, he's like, Adam, I gotta go to Greece to
7:44
beat the heat amongst the ruins. So this other thing that's
7:50
bothering me,
7:51
John C Dvorak: is this heat in a report back that it wasn't that
7:54
bad, of course, is
7:55
Adam Curry: he's having fun amongst the ruins. That's
7:57
literally what he said, I'm having a good time over here. No
8:01
heat dome. So the heat index is another thing that you just keep
8:06
hearing about. Because it's not the heat. It's the humidity. The
8:11
heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what
8:15
the temperature feels like to the human body when relative
8:19
humidity is combined with air pressure. This has important
8:23
considerations for the human body's comfort.
8:27
John C Dvorak: Yes, the oil feels like Yes. When they used
8:31
to be just called feels like
8:32
Adam Curry: it's the opposite of the wind chill factor. Same
8:36
thing. Yeah. So if that wasn't bad enough, now we have this
8:42
Jumoke where is this guy from? Let me see this is from this is
8:46
Paul Beckwith, PhD candidate from the University of Ottawa.
8:51
Unknown: The temperatures that we're reaching the temperature
8:54
humidity combinations are getting extremely detrimental to
8:58
human health. We know about the massive Texas Heatwave, northern
9:03
Mexico heatwave.
9:05
Adam Curry: Have you heard about the massive Texas heatwave where
9:07
people
9:09
John C Dvorak: stopped Eclipse? Caribbean stopped. I have on the
9:14
line. Someone who lives in the middle of Texas and John middle
9:20
of the Texas heat wave.
9:21
Adam Curry: Yes. Hello, John. I'm here. I'm on the line.
9:23
What's up?
9:24
John C Dvorak: Hey, how's the temperature? How's the heat
9:26
dome? You guys? Okay, you're safe.
9:29
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable. Here, John. The heat index is
9:32
just off the chart. It's the apparent temperatures about 175
9:36
degrees. It's just so dangerous. It's so dangerous that I saw a
9:41
dad the other day he had to break his windshield with a tire
9:45
iron because He locked his kid in there because of climate
9:48
change. John, it's really bad here. Can I ask you a question?
9:52
Yes, briefly because I'm about to pass out.
9:55
John C Dvorak: Is this that much different than normal in Texas?
9:58
Oh, John, this is
9:59
Adam Curry: the worst Are we in fact here? We're talking about
10:01
scorched
10:02
John C Dvorak: earth. Good. Well, Adam, be safe back to the
10:07
studio.
10:08
Adam Curry: All right. Well, that's a report from our man on
10:11
the scene. In fact, I went out, Eric, who mowed the lawn. And he
10:17
said he gave me half a mo today because you know, the grass was
10:20
growing. It's not burned to a crisp. So he mowed the lawn. And
10:26
do you think it needs and he said, Oh, come on out and take a
10:28
look. And I go out with my hoodie on because I'm inside in
10:30
this. What do we have? It's called to all your air
10:32
conditioning. And, and I didn't fall down dead. I stood there
10:38
chatter with him for five or 10 minutes with my Salem College
10:41
Alma Mater, hoodie on, even even that. So I'm sorry, this
10:48
reporting is just his lies, is lies, his lies his life. So
10:51
Unknown: to human health. We know about the massive Texas
10:54
heat wave.
10:56
Adam Curry: What do you know about the massive Texas heat
10:58
wave? I mean, it's this.
11:01
John C Dvorak: We know about Yeah, I moved here in we know
11:04
about Trump's crimes. Yeah. I moved here
11:07
Adam Curry: in 2010. When it was 112 degrees, and I moved here
11:13
Unknown: are their Mexico heatwave that was ongoing for
11:16
three, four weeks, we reached temperature, humidity
11:18
combinations approaching the wet bulb temperature,
11:21
Adam Curry: the wet bulb temperature. Now here's a new
11:24
one. What is the wet bulb temperature? Are you familiar
11:27
with the wet bulb temperature? Actually, yes. Okay. What is the
11:30
wet bulb temperature?
11:32
John C Dvorak: Well, there's these devices that you use to
11:36
the wet draw it was called a wet is when I was an air pollution
11:39
inspector. Yeah, of course, it was called a wet bulb dry bulb
11:42
thermometer. And it was a methodology for determining the
11:47
relative humidity. And so you have this is like two
11:52
thermometers side by side, one with a with a cloth at the
11:56
bottom of the Ood wet. Right, the bottom of the thermometer
12:00
bowl, but the bulb, Ryan's the wet bulb, and you take in you
12:04
spin this thing it had it was like a spinner. Whoa, wait a
12:08
minute, it was like a numb Chuck is what it was like to be on it.
12:11
Just like a ninja you spin, spin, spin, spin, spin and then
12:14
you'd get your
12:16
Adam Curry: spin a job. All right, spinning, we're spinning.
12:19
All right, we're spinning it
12:20
John C Dvorak: around pretty much like it. So then you look
12:23
at the two bulbs are the two thermometers. And one would be
12:27
the the dry bulb that would give you the ambient temperature and
12:31
then the wet bulb because it was evaporating from the bulb,
12:34
right? It would give you a lower temperature. So if they're the
12:38
closer they are together, then the more the more miserable
12:43
you're gonna be, I guess was that? I don't even know why
12:46
we're doing these measurements to be honest
12:48
Adam Curry: about it. Did I hear those effort in the background?
12:52
John C Dvorak: No, it's just some some local wet bulb
12:54
Adam Curry: temperatures a temperature read by a
12:56
thermometer covered in water soaked cloth of wet bulb
12:59
thermometer over which air is passed at 100% relative
13:02
humidity. The wet bulb temperature is equal to the air
13:05
temp air temperature. At lower humidity. The wet bulb
13:08
temperature is lower than the dry bulb temperature because of
13:11
evaporated cooling. What's the point? What's the point?
13:15
John C Dvorak: He I know what the point is? Is sounds cool.
13:18
Yeah, well, we're this guy says expert to talk about wet
13:23
temperature. That's right.
13:24
Adam Curry: I'll show you my wet bulb approaching
13:26
Unknown: the wet bulb temperature. This is a first I
13:29
believe for the US. We associate these sorts of high temperature
13:34
high humidity reaching points where people can work outside,
13:39
they can't do anything. They can't even sit outside in the
13:42
shade. Their body overheats, they get heat exhaustion, heat
13:47
stroke and die and they said it their body overheats, they get
13:55
heat exhaustion, heat stroke and die in a matter of like eight to
13:59
10 hours outside if the temperatures higher than 35 with
14:04
100% humidity. Work out the corresponding wet bulb for say
14:09
40 Celsius
14:10
Adam Curry: or 45 Celsius. So now he's going to throw some
14:12
Celsius out as
14:13
Unknown: we're reaching 50 degrees Celsius in regions and
14:17
then why did he
14:18
Adam Curry: Why did he switch from from Fahrenheit to Celsius
14:21
is all
14:22
John C Dvorak: sounds cooler does not even centigrade, which
14:25
is whatever it is really sad to say Yeah, but he's Celsius
14:28
Scandanavian
14:30
Unknown: say 40
14:30
Celsius or 45 Celsius, we're reaching 50 degrees Celsius in
14:36
regions and then not only do we have to worry about the wet bulb
14:41
conditions being exceeded, but when we talk about temperatures
14:44
5045 50 We're talking about the breakdown of certain chemicals
14:50
that make up the body like protein. For example. Think of
14:54
what happens when you
14:56
John C Dvorak: turn into a pile of salt no no
14:59
Adam Curry: better are better chemicals
15:01
Unknown: that make up the body like proteins, for example, you
15:04
know, think of what happens when you crack an egg over, expose it
15:09
to 50 degree,
15:10
Adam Curry: you're an egg temperatures,
15:12
Unknown: the clear part of the egg turns white and this is
15:15
basically denaturation of the protein molecules they become
15:20
broken and all twisted and, you know, make the egg clear part of
15:24
the egg go white. And you know, this is actually happening,
15:27
these chemical breakdowns can actually start occurring in the
15:31
human body when we reach those sorts of temperatures. 50
15:34
degrees plus,
15:36
Adam Curry: I'm an egg white.
15:38
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second. Where would this guy where did
15:41
Where'd you get this one?
15:42
Adam Curry: This is from the University of Ottawa podcast.
15:46
John C Dvorak: This is the PhD candidate should be ashamed of
15:49
themselves.
15:50
Adam Curry: He's he calls himself a climate systems
15:53
scientist, which isn't. Alright, so now a little bit of no agenda
16:00
history. Because we have been following the climate change.
16:04
We're in our 16th year, it'll be 16 years in October, actually,
16:08
we've been following climate change. So far back kids back in
16:13
the day, what did they used to call climate change? Global
16:18
warming. And we hadn't even heard of climate change. It was
16:23
global warming. You remember those days, John? Oh, yeah.
16:27
Global warming. Global warming? was what it was if the Al Gore
16:32
came out this effect it was global warming before no Al Gore
16:36
change that I think didn't Well, it was global warming. I know
16:39
that he was he was he was a global warming, then we're gonna
16:42
forget the global cooling part for a moment because then we
16:44
have to go further back. We didn't weren't doing this show.
16:47
For that you need to go see Leonard Nimoy Dr. Spock. So
16:50
global global
16:51
John C Dvorak: cooling, by the way, because they have some
16:53
don't have any closer to today's show, but have some some
16:56
historic clips. global cooling was, you know, we look back on
17:00
it well as a short term phenomenon. No, it went into the
17:03
Reagan administration. Right.
17:05
Adam Curry: But let's leave with global warming. Which now as you
17:08
heard, what is it today, we went from global warming to climate
17:11
change, and now it's scorched earth. I just heard it. One of
17:17
the main things that is causing global warming climate change,
17:24
scorched earth is of course, beef. We know this to be true,
17:31
because the science has told us the sciences in
17:34
John C Dvorak: it's either as a science floating around us
17:37
telling us stuff. It's telling it used to be the thing that
17:40
would cause all this, of course, was the sun. No, no, no heat.
17:45
No,
17:45
Adam Curry: no, no, but this, but it has been meat production
17:51
and consumption for for over a decade. And I know it's been for
17:56
over a decade because I was so annoyed by something I heard on
18:00
NPR, which I will play in a moment that I went back to find
18:05
the first time we heard the establishment telling us what
18:12
the solution is to eat not to to meat, which is causing global
18:17
warming, and what was that solution?
18:20
John C Dvorak: Go vegan,
18:22
Adam Curry: bugs, bugs, bugs eat bugs,
18:27
John C Dvorak: I think not to correct you here. But I'm pretty
18:31
sure they came up with the cow flatulence, or some of these
18:35
other things before they even suggested eating bugs, cuz these
18:39
were all initiatives of the vegans
18:41
Adam Curry: correct. But it was 13 years ago, Episode 225 of
18:48
your no agenda show, which was August 12 202,010. When we first
18:58
saw the powers that be and you'll be surprised who it was,
19:05
of course, there were there will be a term in here, which you'll
19:07
remember telling us that we need to eat bugs to stop global
19:13
warming. And I have that first moment when we first were given
19:17
the message that bugs eating bugs was the only way out. We're
19:22
going back 13 years. The United Nations has come out. They of
19:29
course are the ones behind the whole Codex Alimentarius push.
19:33
And they're basically saying that you know, we do we remember
19:36
the Codex Alimentarius?
19:39
John C Dvorak: Yeah, unfortunately, we do, of course,
19:42
are
19:42
Adam Curry: the ones behind the whole Codex Alimentarius push.
19:46
And they're basically saying that, you know, we really can't
19:49
go on like this eating pigs and cows, we need to eat insects.
19:53
John C Dvorak: That Oh, yeah, you beat me to that story.
19:56
Adam Curry: It's a great story. The Hot Pockets filled with
20:01
bugs. That's
20:03
John C Dvorak: a story which gets to me is like, Oh, this is
20:09
all part of a vegan, global warming agenda to keep us from
20:14
eating meat.
20:15
Adam Curry: By the way, who says that hot pecans aren't already
20:18
filled with bugs? It could
20:19
John C Dvorak: be? I don't know. You have to test for it. Yeah,
20:22
it's easy. Just brain dead easy. So anyway, the Yeah, so it's
20:27
against me to That's correct. It's it gets it all to the all
20:30
about me vegetarians and the vegans.
20:33
Adam Curry: Wait, there's more to it. It's, it's, there's more
20:36
to it. It's let me just tell you the exact statement. It's to cut
20:42
levels of meat consumption worldwide as part of the United
20:45
Nations commitment to stamp out famine and, and cut global
20:49
warming. Yeah,
20:50
Unknown: sciences.
20:53
Adam Curry: Let them eat bugs.
20:54
John C Dvorak: Yeah. So so they come out here. Can you imagine
20:58
the meetings are going to introduce this to the public? I
21:01
don't think some people are going to like the idea of eating
21:03
bugs. Well, you know, I think if we just kind of slowly bring him
21:08
into it, there'll be eaten bugs, you know, we just had to, and
21:10
the funny thing was No, not you mentioned this, I realized that
21:13
I got a package about those six months ago. And I don't know if
21:17
I I don't think I mentioned it on the show. I didn't think
21:19
about it. But it was some green initiative, sending out
21:23
chocolate coated grasshoppers. Yep. And so I got like this
21:28
package chocolate coated grasshoppers, and my daughter
21:32
and her friend. They both ate one. Yeah, and said that they
21:37
were delicious. They were delicious. They were they said
21:40
they were good. They were Chris like eating. It's like eating a
21:42
KitKat bar. It's got the crunchy. Crunchy. Yeah, so it's
21:47
like a KitKat only with a
21:48
Unknown: real cat inside.
21:54
Adam Curry: So let's just establish here that the United
21:57
Nations through the Codex Alimentarius sent out a press
22:01
release saying that we needed to eat insects, bugs, to combat
22:06
global hunger and global warming.
22:10
John C Dvorak: That's well, I think that the correct phrase
22:12
was famine. Famine. Yes. Family. So the logic is this famine, no
22:19
eating meat if there's a famine,
22:22
Adam Curry: yeah, don't eat. Don't eat meat. he
22:26
John C Dvorak: pay you famine, people go eat some bugs. They're
22:29
all over the place. kind of help us this.
22:33
Adam Curry: But I think what they're saying is if we eat the
22:35
bugs, then there'll be some some meat leftover for the famine
22:38
people. Yeah, maybe which would basically put us into the famine
22:42
people seat. I don't know. So let's just agree. Because and
22:47
thank you, sir. D anonymous for putting together being at.io
22:51
what a what a wonderful resource. It did. It took me all
22:54
of five minutes to figure this out. And find the right spot and
22:58
and bring this. It took me three minutes to edit the harpin. So
23:04
now we fast forward to n p are our national treasure. And they
23:11
have a show called code switch. And code switch is it's a it's
23:18
clearly a dei and programming initiative. And these two hosts
23:24
are going to deconstruct this huge conspiracy theory. Here's
23:32
the introduction.
23:33
Unknown: Paging, what's good teaching? So Janeane is one of
23:37
our colleagues here at NPR and she covers how information gets
23:40
made. Public gets disseminated, right?
23:43
Yes. And as part of that, I cover how conspiracy theories
23:46
travel and spread.
23:47
Okay, so
23:48
Adam Curry: yes, yes.
23:50
John C Dvorak: So this is a show about gays.
23:52
Adam Curry: No, no. No, this is this is an actual show on NPR.
23:58
These people are paid by our national treasure.
24:02
John C Dvorak: Isn't code switch. Isn't that a gay?
24:05
Adam Curry: No, no, no code switch is when that's like when
24:08
Hillary start saying I don't feel no tired no more when you
24:13
start talking code switch. That's That's what code
24:16
switches. Oh,
24:17
John C Dvorak: but so why are they talking gay then? Because
24:20
they're probably gay. I don't know. Oh, hey, nevermind, and
24:24
Unknown: that I cover how conspiracy theories travel and
24:26
spread
24:28
your own tinfoil hat beat right.
24:32
Just that I covered
24:34
Adam Curry: inflammation. John. Save your oohs and ahhs for when
24:37
it really matters. I want you to listen because you just won't
24:41
believe what has happened in don't believe it already. But
24:43
okay. 13 short years, I'll back off 13 years.
24:47
Unknown: Yes. I covered the entire information environment
24:52
both online and offline. think social media, chat groups,
24:55
television, schools, workplaces, churches.
24:58
So basically anywhere we get a hold
25:00
Adam Curry: Churches because that's where conspiracy theories
25:02
are born church as permission.
25:04
Unknown: That is a very important piece, especially
25:06
right now. And part B. I mean, I think so you're gonna walk us
25:09
through a phenomena that lands right at the intersection of our
25:12
two beats, right.
25:14
Adam Curry: And conspiracies. Okay, then she's she's going to
25:16
get into something that is right at the intersection of our two
25:20
beats, which is race and conspiracy theories
25:23
Unknown: at the intersection of our two beats, right race and
25:27
conspiracies,
25:28
yes. Que anti semitism, white anxiety and the healthy dose of
25:32
xenophobia.
25:32
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. So it seems like there's a lot of
25:36
white problems here.
25:37
Unknown: conspiracy theory goes, that global elites are plotting
25:40
to force ordinary people like you and me to eat bucks.
25:45
Adam Curry: That's a conspiracy theory now that the elites have
25:50
decided that they're going to force us to eat bugs. Did we not
25:53
just hear that 13 years ago?
25:58
John C Dvorak: Or though maybe the United Nations, those are
26:00
the elites?
26:01
Adam Curry: Yeah, of course, they're the elites. But that is
26:03
now a conspiracy theory.
26:06
John C Dvorak: How's it Why is it a theory? We just played the
26:08
reality?
26:09
Adam Curry: Well, they clearly I mean, her job is to scour the
26:12
internet to find everything. And she digs around, and she didn't
26:17
find us she found something else that is NPR broadcast worthy.
26:22
Unknown: The conspiracy theory goes that global elites are
26:25
plotting to force ordinary people like you and me to eat
26:28
bucks.
26:29
Wait, what's to eat bugs? Yeah.
26:33
I started. Okay.
26:35
global elites, that's been kind of a wink toward this old anti
26:39
semitic idea that they're like Jewish financiers who are secret
26:42
black masters running the world from behind the scenes. Right,
26:44
exactly.
26:47
Adam Curry: So that's when we say global elites. So of course,
26:50
that is the United Nations without a doubt. They're a
26:52
elites. That mean, that's a concern. That's a trope, which
26:56
is anti semitic. Jewish financiers. No, I
27:00
John C Dvorak: don't, I think that they bypass that. I think
27:03
that anytime anything is brought up. They just blame it on the on
27:08
the these people are Jew haters.
27:11
Adam Curry: Okay, so let's go to the next clip. Because it's not
27:14
just Jews, they hate
27:15
Unknown: Why are folks like Terry ball day in the
27:18
Netherlands and Tucker Carlson here, all up in arms about it?
27:22
Well, right now, it may be because it has become part of an
27:26
even bigger conspiracy theory. I did some digging on the
27:29
internet. And this merging seems to have begun with this
27:32
anonymous blog post in 2019. Okay.
27:36
Adam Curry: So she did some digging on the internet, went
27:39
all the way back to 2019. And it sounds like she has found the
27:43
origin of the conspiracy theory, that the elites, mainly Jewish
27:48
financiers want us to eat bugs instead of the actual United
27:52
Nations, which told us that's what we need to do. 2013 2013
27:58
Yes, correct. No, no,
27:59
John C Dvorak: let's wait to act as she got 2019 with a blog
28:02
2010 2010.
28:05
Adam Curry: She got to 2010 how she got to 2019 We were talking
28:09
about it in 2010 2010. Okay,
28:11
John C Dvorak: so she couldn't get back before 2019. And so she
28:15
thinks that's the Orisha. So she's giving us perversion of
28:18
the origin story, which is totally bogus, correct?
28:21
Adam Curry: That's correct. It
28:22
Unknown: all I could find out about the person who wrote it is
28:25
that they call themselves a white identitarian. So
28:29
they're a white supremacist of some sort.
28:31
Yeah. And you have to tweet to back it up. And in the days
28:34
after the north of them because they are caught fire in Paris,
28:38
this blogger went on this rant saying that the fire was on
28:41
purpose.
28:42
Adam Curry: Okay, so now she's going to what she's doing here
28:45
is she's giving credibility to this blog post that she found,
28:49
which apparently, they have to tweets to back it up from a
28:53
white identitarian ism. I identitarian, ie white
28:58
supremacist who also claimed that the notre DOM was set on
29:02
fire on purpose. Which it probably was,
29:08
John C Dvorak: oh, there's a lot of evidence to suggest that was
29:10
set on fire on purpose, not on NPR,
29:12
Unknown: that it was not only an attack on Christianity and
29:15
Christendom, but another sign of global elites being sadist and
29:19
wanting to punish and enslave people around the world. And the
29:23
blog post took a turn. This person wrote, quote, have you
29:27
noticed there is quite a lot of research going into turning bugs
29:31
into mass food products. None the phrase I will not eat the
29:34
bugs cross from 4chan over to Twitter first by way of again, a
29:39
white nationalist
29:40
Adam Curry: show. Okay. So this person identifies that bug
29:45
ingredients are going into mass food products, Cricket Flour,
29:49
anybody? I mean, yes, this is absolutely happening. But
29:54
there's it's it's part of another conspiracy theory,
29:57
Unknown: like Africa's ratio theorists have been stuff in all
30:00
sorts of stories under the great resent name, things like
30:04
governments are forcing you to stay at home and wear a mask
30:07
or like take the vaccine. Yes, exactly.
30:12
John C Dvorak: Hey, hold on a second. This is a dish show is a
30:17
parody. This is a joke. There was something comedic about this
30:21
show. And you're playing it at you've been suckered. I don't
30:25
think so, John, they are suckered into thinking they're
30:29
serious. They are dead
30:30
Adam Curry: serious. These people? Yes, yes. Yes. Listen.
30:35
The great reset. They believe that's a conspiracy theory,
30:39
instead of the title of Klaus Schwab's book. And his main res
30:43
or
30:44
John C Dvorak: conspiracy theory is a book titled,
30:46
Unknown: government's forcing you to stay at home and wear a
30:49
mask or like take the vaccine. Yes, exactly. It's been
30:52
construed as a ploy to control the population and take away
30:55
your freedoms for good. No kidding. No kidding. Good, for
31:01
good, but you're gonna hear that WTF trying to address that
31:03
concern here. Great reset.
31:07
Adam Curry: Now, so now they're playing a piece of the great
31:10
reset from the World Economic Forum, where the World Economic
31:15
Forum pushed back. They're playing this now as well.
31:18
Listen,
31:19
Unknown: you can hear that WTF trying to address the concern
31:21
here.
31:22
And great research.
31:24
That sounds more like buzzword bingo is masking some nefarious
31:27
plans, world domination. Hands up, this kind of slogan hasn't
31:32
gone down? Well, all we really want to say is that we all have
31:35
an opportunity to build a better world.
31:38
These are made offensive like if you're conspiracy theorists,
31:41
that might make you even more suspicious of the people at
31:44
Davos and WTF, right.
31:45
Yeah, they're trying to debunk or pre bunk, depending on how
31:50
you look at it,
31:51
like pre bunk. That's cool.
31:53
That could be the way the actual great reset initiative that
31:56
sprung out of Davos is still vague, and it's probably kind of
32:00
like the great reset conspiracy theory.
32:02
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. I see what they're saying. So they're
32:05
saying that, you know, just this little thing that came out of
32:07
the World Economic Forum that they called the Great reset.
32:10
That's not really like the great reset conspiracy theory
32:13
Unknown: vague. It's probably kind of like the great reset
32:16
conspiracy theory that took on its name. The conspiracy theory
32:19
goes that there were shadowy puppeteers behind governments
32:23
before it's called the Great reset. They had a different
32:25
name, the New World Order.
32:30
Adam Curry: You're gonna love how this one's
32:31
Unknown: like a hodgepodge of old oven anti semitic tropes.
32:34
So you're saying anti semitic
32:36
Adam Curry: tropes? No, it was George Bush who said it. George
32:39
Bush Senior, not a Jew,
32:41
John C Dvorak: George W. George H. Yeah,
32:44
Adam Curry: it was just not these people have no history.
32:47
Have no education. As far as I'm concerned.
32:49
John C Dvorak: It sounds like they're there to adults are just
32:52
like two kids. You know, eighth graders just kind of making it?
32:56
Um, no.
32:57
Adam Curry: I believe they've been given a script. I think
33:00
they was a
33:01
John C Dvorak: very poorly written script. Let me tell you,
33:03
hello, chat. GPT.
33:05
Unknown: Before it's called the Great reset. It had a different
33:07
name. The New World Order is like a hodgepodge of old oven
33:11
anti semitic tropes.
33:13
So you're saying that the great reset gave that old New World
33:16
Order, a new branding?
33:18
Yes. And a new life as well. Like, think about all this
33:22
anxiety about the pandemic, right, it's supercharged as
33:24
conspiratorial thinking, because there is a theory is one of the
33:27
things that people do to cope with uncertainty. And the
33:30
pandemic was a very uncertain time. So no, the New World Order
33:34
absorbed eating bugs. That's one of the more salacious subplots
33:37
before the pandemic. And fast forward to 2022. It is
33:41
intertwined again, with the great reset.
33:43
Adam Curry: I can't even follow this logic, but somehow, we
33:47
couldn't deal with a pandemic because, you know, we're
33:49
obviously white supremacist and Jew haters and then murdered and
33:53
we're just a tinfoil hat wears. So before the pandemic started,
33:57
we started with this bug eating thing. And then during the
33:59
pandemic, it made us feel good to wrap it up into what we used
34:03
to call the New World Order. Okay, NPR. Sounds good. Now, the
34:08
idea of eating bugs.
34:11
John C Dvorak: What's the name of it? What's the name of the
34:13
show again,
34:13
Adam Curry: code switch. So why would we not want to eat bugs?
34:21
Now? Their answer is even more stunning than what we think it
34:24
is.
34:25
Unknown: And that means the colonists were not going to eat
34:27
the bugs. Here's an expert who research that
34:29
there was very much an idea that you are what you eat back then.
34:35
And so the Europeans felt they need European foods. So there is
34:39
a very much a worry that if you ate the indigenous foods, you
34:42
would become a savage. Okay, because
34:44
Adam Curry: we're worried that if we eat bugs will become
34:47
savages because we're colonialists.
34:51
Unknown: She's Julie Lesnick, an anthropologist at Wayne State
34:54
University in Detroit. She studies entomology or insect
34:58
eating let's think wrote an article Tracy In this colonial
35:00
history of eating bugs or reluctance to eat bugs, she
35:04
says, we don't have much information between then and
35:07
now. But that this repulsion probably became a learned thing
35:11
over time. I think it just kind
35:13
of gets recapitulated every generation like it's the same
35:16
thing. And it just becomes the same thing again, because the
35:18
seed was planted in the generation before.
35:21
The key here is that Disgust is socially reinforced that babies
35:26
don't find bugs disgusting until they're a little older.
35:28
Right? And this idea that
35:29
Adam Curry: lady Do you have a child Have you fed your child
35:32
bugs? Do you know this we're fact that babies don't find bugs
35:37
disgusting until they're a little older.
35:38
Unknown: Right? Or baby still find bugs this
35:41
Adam Curry: age? A baby's babies she's
35:43
John C Dvorak: grown I'm saying what age do they find disgusting
35:46
because most kids I know, even when they're babies they
35:48
repulsed by bugs core, Satan forced
35:51
Unknown: a baby still find bugs disgusting until they're a
35:53
little older. Right? And this
35:55
idea that we are the civilized, and that we have, you know the
36:01
best and are the best. And so insects are so easy for people
36:06
to other and
36:07
Adam Curry: othering instance. Oh, my God. Because the poor
36:13
bugs, they're easy to other because they can't talk back.
36:17
John C Dvorak: Can I stop you for one second? Sure. Because
36:19
because you didn't mention the name of the show. I did five
36:23
times code switch know the name of the episode? Oh, I
36:28
Adam Curry: don't know the net. What do you have the name of the
36:29
episode? Yes, I do. What's the what's the episode? It's the
36:32
John C Dvorak: right wing conspiracy theory about eating
36:36
bugs is as racist as you think.
36:40
Adam Curry: Why are you giving away my punchline? But we
36:44
already had this figured out? No, the punch line is this.
36:48
Thanks for stopping me. Well,
36:51
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry. But the name of the show is
36:52
important. I was it whose presentation is this? All right,
36:57
I'm sorry. I'm just trying to add to the, to the I'm trying to
37:01
add dimensionality.
37:06
Unknown: And so insects are so easy for people to other and
37:11
associate with people that are not the best and not civilized.
37:15
It's like the easiest punching bag.
37:17
Adam Curry: So bye. Bye. Wait.
37:21
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they keep stopping you because you keep
37:24
about a bud.
37:26
Unknown: What is she say? And so in
37:29
John C Dvorak: civilized because we don't eat bugs? No,
37:32
Adam Curry: no, no. Bugs are easy to other because that part
37:37
because well, but because we're uncivilized.
37:39
John C Dvorak: No, no,
37:40
Adam Curry: no. People who eat bugs, like, you know, black
37:43
people who eat bugs, black people in
37:46
John C Dvorak: Africa or wherever they are American
37:48
Indians just eat bugs. They're black.
37:51
Adam Curry: We hate them too. Because we're white. We hate
37:52
everybody. Because it's so easy to other than we are
37:57
sophisticated. And those others, others who eat other things like
38:02
bugs, they are less than us because we're racists,
38:06
Unknown: you know, the best and are the best. And so insects are
38:11
so easy for people to other and associate with people that are
38:15
not the best and not civilized. It's like the easiest punching
38:19
bag.
38:20
Adam Curry: Okay, so let's, let's finalize this with the
38:23
last clip, which will explain even better than the title will
38:28
explain exactly to the tee, who they are talking about.
38:34
Unknown: I mean, last year, a pollster who worked with
38:36
Democratic candidates asked respondents if they agreed with
38:39
the statement that the federal government is controlled by a
38:43
secret cabal. 53% of Republicans agree with that. And so did 41%
38:48
of independents and 37% of Democrats.
38:51
That's Wow. Okay. So that kind of makes sense, like the idea
38:56
that our government works actively works to advance the
38:59
desires of a small number of very powerful, very rich people.
39:02
Like when you think about it like that, like, I'm surprised
39:05
the number of the people answering yes to that question.
39:07
Are that low? To be honest,
39:10
the thing is, that poll was a way to get up your house. Kiana
39:13
believes like that statement is a central statement of the Kiana
39:17
spacey theory.
39:18
Adam Curry: She's saying Q are now you see, it's the central
39:20
statement of the Q anon consumers said
39:23
John C Dvorak: Q and I couldn't understand her.
39:25
Adam Curry: Thank you and I can't Well, are you othering
39:27
her?
39:29
John C Dvorak: I am I can't speak English. That's
39:32
understandable. She's She's a broadcaster
39:35
Unknown: are that low? To be honest,
39:37
the thing is that Paul was a way to get at people's kyana
39:41
beliefs.
39:41
Adam Curry: So the poll was a way to get at people's Q anon
39:44
beliefs
39:45
Unknown: was a way to get up people's Q anon beliefs. Like
39:48
that statement is a central statement of the Kianna
39:50
conspiracy theory. There is no need formula leading people to
39:54
adopt these ideas. We don't really know why people get
39:56
caught up in them. What we do know is that sort and categories
40:00
of people have picked up this ideas more
40:03
Adam Curry: Okay are you ready for the categories of people
40:05
who've picked up this these theories more the true evil a
40:09
holes who other bugs and have come up with a cute on related
40:13
conspiracy
40:14
Unknown: and vaccinated mail conservative Trump voting
40:19
Republican and also not college educated
40:24
Adam Curry: all the boxes, baby I take them all this is truly
40:31
atrocious what these people are doing.
40:35
John C Dvorak: Oh, this is a kind of racism that is often
40:38
disgusting. Yep. And it's an it's an NPR production. So it
40:43
comes right from National Public Radio. It's not like one of the
40:45
offshoots are an independent group. This is NPR sanctioned.
40:49
Yep. I'm looking at their page. And it's gross. And it's and
40:56
it's so inaccurate about the fact that we could play clips
40:59
from 2010. And she can't get past a blog post in 2019,
41:04
attributing all the bug eating phenomenon to this one blogger
41:08
who happened to be a white guy.
41:11
Adam Curry: But of course, we're all Jew haters. It's It's just
41:14
unbelievable. And this, this is the problem. This is,
41:18
John C Dvorak: by the way, people out there everyone
41:20
listening. If you give any money to these people, yeah, you're
41:24
thinking about it and instead send it to us.
41:28
Adam Curry: Exactly. Exactly.
41:31
John C Dvorak: And by these people, I mean, anyone who works
41:35
in and around NPR?
41:37
Adam Curry: Yes. That is what this is why podcasts are
41:44
winning. I would hope I would hope no one listens. Oh,
41:50
John C Dvorak: good one. Good catch. No, I don't think that my
41:53
revealing the title of the show was hurt your point at all?
41:59
Adam Curry: Not a little bit. No, it would have been a bigger
42:01
reveal. No,
42:03
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. Okay, that was added to the
42:06
suspense.
42:08
Adam Curry: Good. Good work, John. Sorry. I meant to say good
42:11
work. Thanks. Thanks for adding to the suspense. All right.
42:16
distraction of the week time cave sharks
42:19
Unknown: aren't terrifying enough to some of you there's a
42:21
new threat. He's in the waters off of Florida.
42:24
How about sharks hopped up on cocaine? Expertise. Sharks may
42:28
be gobbling up bales of drugs which have been dumped off the
42:31
Florida coast by smugglers. Marine Biologist went to study
42:34
the phenomenon they conducted experiments and spotted a
42:37
hammerhead sharks swimming into dumped packages and biting into
42:41
them. That gave them what the scientists scientists called
42:44
crazy brain.
42:46
Adam Curry: Okay, so we've got sharks hopped up on Coke,
42:50
because for some reason, these coke bales are in the water and
42:54
don't disintegrate. No, no, no, not a problem.
42:57
John C Dvorak: We just oh no, they're they're in the water.
42:59
They don't do. This is the latest thing. In fact, there was
43:02
a big bust of like a billion dollars with a coke where the
43:06
big trawlers come loaded with the coke and they throw it in
43:09
the water on purpose to get picked up later. So it's pretty
43:13
watertight until the shark bites it, then it's all over. But
43:18
somebody pointed out that this is just kind of an interesting
43:21
way to get some news of some attraction to this a fake story.
43:26
Based on the fact that cocaine bear was a big hit on the movie
43:30
theaters. It's even
43:31
Adam Curry: worse than that. It is a native ad for something we
43:36
deal with every single year
43:38
Unknown: when they behaved erratically. That phenomenon is
43:41
featured in a new documentary for the Discovery Channel's
43:43
Shark Week,
43:44
which starts
43:45
John C Dvorak: Oh, Shark
43:49
Adam Curry: it's every single stream every year.
43:54
John C Dvorak: Every year for shark week, every year, every
43:59
year, yeah, every year every year, but this was the best lead
44:02
in so far. Is definitely funny. Every every year, some of the
44:08
greatest and all these should networks are showing B roll.
44:12
Yeah, from like Jaws with the big white shark in the water.
44:17
Just biting it everything
44:19
Adam Curry: is no wonder that people are cutting the cord.
44:22
They're not watching television anymore. People you're over.
44:27
You're so over the strike, you're getting screwed this
44:33
strike thing. I mean, I I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. All right.
44:41
Hey, I'm so sorry for the actors and the writers and of course it
44:45
doesn't just affect them. I mean, I add see all the
44:48
technicians every you know, everybody is affected by this.
44:51
But the actors and the writers I'd say but the actors, they're
44:55
stupid. They are dumb. They're they're lapping up is AI bull
45:01
crap when they mean that your enemy is big tech, big tech owns
45:07
your outlets now, literally Amazon own studios.
45:13
John C Dvorak: Literally, they own MGM, for example,
45:16
Adam Curry: they own studios, and they own the streaming. And
45:20
the if you have not noticed, if you're not noticed YouTube and
45:25
Tiktok, the Silicon Valley model is give us your creativity,
45:29
we'll give you nothing. That's what they do. And then they
45:33
throw algos in there, so that these poor influencers have to
45:38
post three videos a day, otherwise, they drop in the
45:41
algo. And oh, I gotta keep up, I gotta post more kind of post
45:44
more. In order to make any kind of money with their influencer
45:51
bull crap. And at the drop of a hat, they can get cut off, you
45:56
know, young people, like start to live that way, and they got
45:59
house payments and car payments, and then they're destroyed
46:02
overnight. That is what big tech does. And now you're surprised
46:07
that the streaming model does not include residuals you're
46:11
surprised that big tech has, has decided to cut seasons and
46:16
anachronism of epic proportion. Seasons now, we just have six
46:23
episodes of something and people binge that,
46:27
John C Dvorak: as they watch it like one long movie,
46:29
Adam Curry: Have you not noticed this actors and writers? Have
46:31
you not seen what's going on? And now you're buying into
46:35
Silicon Valley's ultimate hype? Have a I have you not and so now
46:42
you're instead of fighting for a different revenue model, which I
46:47
don't know could be based on how many people watch, there's a lot
46:51
of different things you could actually force if you were
46:53
smart. Instead of doing that, you're buying into the dummy
46:58
stuff. This is an this is a successful actor, because of
47:02
course, the successful actors, they're just on vacation. This
47:05
is James Vander bake. He's an actor from the successful show,
47:09
Dawson's Creek, the
47:10
Unknown: Screen Actors Guild is on strike. During the Writers
47:14
Guild, which I'm also a member of including striking for the
47:15
last three months. I can't join them on the picket lines,
47:18
because I'm on vacation with my family. So this is my
47:20
contribution. Why we're striking. There's some big
47:25
things in this one monumental thing. Big things have to do
47:28
with issues that would allow writers and actors who are just
47:31
starting out earn something that looks like a living wage, things
47:34
like residuals, which have all been disappeared in streaming
47:36
area. These are nothing to multibillion dollar
47:41
corporations, but they're everything that people try to
47:43
pay for groceries and pay the rent. And monumental thing is AI
47:49
and that that she was viewer. Writers need protection from
47:53
studios generating AI scripts, actors, we need protection over
47:57
our likenesses and images and voices. If we don't win these
48:00
two, acting and writing might cease to be a viable career in
48:04
the future. Now, I know that sounds dramatic, but it is the
48:09
truth. Can AI be a storytelling tool that we can use to tell
48:13
compelling stories and move you? Yes, totally in the right hands.
48:17
In the hands of the studios, it will be a cost cutting tool. And
48:21
what they will cut out will be humans. If you want a live human
48:26
heart, behind the entertainment that you consume, we have to win
48:30
this. How can you support if you know an actor or a writer has a
48:33
podcast or selling something if they have a side gig if they're
48:36
in Kenya, patronizing Tommy level?
48:40
Adam Curry: Dummies. Dummies. Your audience doesn't care if a
48:44
computer wrote the script. They're watching a movie about a
48:47
doll. It's your stupid. Get you're
48:53
John C Dvorak: not even a movie. According to most of the reviews
48:56
I've seen so far about these two movies. Oppenheimer is too long
49:01
and it stinks. And Barbie is just a one long advertisement
49:05
for Mattel. I have a clip
49:07
Unknown: one word seems to have captivated movie audiences this
49:10
weekend. Barbin Heimer two films that couldn't be more different
49:14
released on the same day. But they've managed to revive
49:17
something a lot of people thought was dead the summer
49:19
movie spectacle at a time when the industry is in crisis. I
49:24
bought my tickets months ago, Americans are back at the
49:28
theaters many dressed in pink lining up to see two films with
49:33
no connection Hi Barbies. Hi Can the bright pink comedy Barbie
49:39
Barbie Barbie shards
49:42
and the dark historical trauma Oppenheimer movie goers are
49:46
leaning into the wildly different tones? Some 200,000
49:51
People bought advanced tickets to see both movies on the same
49:54
day. According to the National Association of theater owners.
49:58
We saw Barbie at three And then we're doing up in Hayward six,
50:02
so it's like a full day thing.
50:04
But the industry is in dire straits. Ticket sales haven't
50:08
fully recovered from the pandemic down 20% Since 2019,
50:12
and summer sequels like Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible are
50:16
no longer attracting audiences the way they used to. Both fell
50:20
short of a T shirt is complicating any recovery.
50:24
Hollywood screenwriters are on strike for a third month joined
50:28
on the picket line by the Screen Actors Guild eight days ago. 10s
50:32
of 1000s are out of work production on new films halted.
50:37
movies don't write themselves, you have to have actors in front
50:39
of the camera. So this is going to be very important that this
50:43
gets resolved the sooner the better.
50:46
So while the Barbie and Oppenheimer bump is keeping
50:49
movie theaters alive, the big question is what's next with no
50:53
big summer blockbusters on the horizon? And actors potentially
50:56
unable to promote upcoming films if this strikes stretches on?
51:00
Adam Curry: Well, now what wouldn't you wouldn't you be
51:03
surprised to find out that there is something that's next
51:07
Unknown: next time Jamie Foxx over the weekend. The actor was
51:09
spotted in public for the first time since being hospitalized
51:12
back in April for what a representative referred to as an
51:15
unspecified medical emergency. While in the brand of video this
51:18
is obtained by TMZ the Golden Globe winner is seen here on a
51:21
boat, cruising down the Chicago River looking cheerful, smiling
51:25
and waving at the camera, even tossing up a piece sign for the
51:28
video. Since April. few updates have been provided on foxes
51:31
health but back in May his daughter Corinne shared on
51:34
social media that her dad was back at home he's recuperating
51:37
in place pickleball so we're happy to see Jamie back in
51:39
action. Of course we wish him the best on his recovery.
51:43
Adam Curry: And right on cue Netflix releases the summer
51:46
blockbuster. They clone Tyrone which looks fantastic. It's an
51:54
it's now streaming on Netflix. It's Jamie Foxx. It's almost
51:58
like a take off on a blaxploitation movie from the
52:01
70s looks hilarious. With pimps and hos. And then clones is
52:10
fantastic. And all of a sudden, right in the middle of the
52:13
strike when you've got these two dogs of movies out there that
52:16
the M five M is desperately trying to tell tell you that Oh,
52:20
no, you you don't just want to see one you want to get tickets
52:22
to both of them. Yeah, that's what I want to do. Jamie Foxx
52:28
lives
52:29
Unknown: again to tell you how far it took me and how it
52:35
brought me back. I went through something that I thought I would
52:42
never ever go through. I know a lot of people were waiting, you
52:47
know, wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you. I
52:51
just didn't want you to see me like you know, I want you to see
52:54
me laughing and having a good time partying, cracking a job
52:57
doing a movie television show I didn't want you see me with a
53:02
with two jobs running out and trying to figure out if I was
53:13
gonna make it through and be honest with you, my sister did
53:18
addiction. My daughter Corinne Marie saved my life. So to God
53:26
to a lot of great medical people. I'm able to leave you
53:30
this video. I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your
53:36
family chicken in such a way and y'all know they kept it airtight
53:40
they let in and out. They protected me and that's what I
53:44
hope that everyone could have in moments like that, you know, by
53:49
being quiet. Sometimes things get out of hand people say what
53:54
I got to believe said I was I was blind but as you can see as
54:00
you can see the eyes are working. working just fine.
54:02
Adam Curry: What since when do we have to prove that I'm not
54:07
blind by moving his eyes back and forth? This is weird.
54:11
John C Dvorak: Well, I think that had to do he had I think
54:14
gray bar A from the backs and something which paralyzes your
54:19
half your body and again, does weird things to your eyes and
54:22
they had it there was a clip floating around the internet of
54:25
him with his eyes. They showed his eyes. And they were a wreck.
54:29
And I mean it wasn't it was like beyond anything, anyone could
54:33
actually do what he was doing. And so and because I had a
54:37
friend who had this ailment years ago and he he was had his
54:42
eyes were shot because when I wouldn't move and it was really
54:47
it was painful to move the other one and so the I got a hold of
54:50
an ophthalmologist specialist from the University of
54:54
California who said who told him to patch the good eye, which is
54:59
the key to Getting out of that mess. And that worked. He's
55:02
fine. But yeah, so that so he I think that was a reflection of
55:07
that. I don't know why they put that clip on the net. It was
55:09
disgusting was eyes going every which way.
55:12
Adam Curry: I just find the timing. very coincidental.
55:16
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's good timing somebody's going to do in
55:19
high fives. someone's doing now, a couple of things that I've
55:22
noticed in this bull crap. First of all, when I was a kid, there
55:28
we go. Double features were common, especially on the
55:32
weekends. Yes, double feature. So it was a double feature. You
55:38
go see were moving, there'd be another one. But the other thing
55:40
is I noticed Margot Robbie and the crew of Barbie. They've been
55:45
showing up on these talk shows that they're not supposed to
55:47
show up on really? Yeah, and it goes like this. Oh, we recorded
55:52
this a couple of weeks before the strike. And I don't believe
55:59
a word of it. Well, it was one I think it was Kelly Clarkson or
56:04
one of the people had had the whole crew on they had Robbie
56:08
and the big L for the main actresses. And they didn't have
56:13
rentals, but they had a resume there was all this bullcrap. But
56:16
how it was recorded weeks ago. I'm just not buying it. I think
56:23
they desperately had to get some publicity for this movie.
56:26
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, they do the junkets you know, I was
56:29
listened to Fran Drescher on a hate listen with Kara Swisher.
56:34
And oh, yeah. How did
56:35
John C Dvorak: you get any clips? No, no, this listen up in
56:39
that hateful.
56:40
Adam Curry: Oh, no, but I like Fran Drescher. I kind of like
56:44
her. You know, I
56:46
John C Dvorak: admire is especially as the head of the
56:48
Union, you know
56:49
Adam Curry: that she created the nanny. She wasn't just an actor.
56:52
She created it. She wrote it. She executive produced it. That
56:55
was all her deal. I didn't know that. No, well, good for her. So
56:59
apparently they asked Rosie O'Donnell to be the, the head of
57:04
the of the Union. And Rosie said no, but you need Fran Drescher.
57:09
Anyway. So the union, here's what they did. So they the
57:16
contract expired on June 30 31st, whatever. No. 30th and,
57:23
and they asked for an extension. And so Fran thought okay, well,
57:28
and the lawyers thought, okay, so they're coming up with
57:31
something they they cancelled a few meetings during that
57:33
extension. And then they basically said, Yeah, you know
57:36
what, we got nothing for you. But in that in that interim
57:38
period, they had just enough time to promote these movies.
57:43
She got hoodwinked. They hoodwinked her for an extra 12
57:47
days.
57:48
John C Dvorak: Oh, that was a good move is a great move.
57:51
Adam Curry: So smart, that mean day holes, but okay. You do.
57:56
Yeah. These are tech companies to people remember? So, my
58:02
goodness. Ken and I think that it's over late night talk TV
58:06
shows people have already moved on. What do we do not we but
58:09
what are people doing at night when they're in bed or when
58:11
they're getting ready to go to bed? They're watching tick tock.
58:14
They're not gonna go back to watching Jimmy Fallon. That's
58:18
over by the time the writers come back and the strike is
58:20
over. No one's gonna care. They don't care about the celebrities
58:23
because no one watches award shows anymore. They just don't
58:26
care you
58:27
John C Dvorak: say something? They have to have some because
58:29
they gotta sit down and think about this because when when and
58:33
I didn't believe these numbers when they came out. I think you
58:36
brought him up and I was at bullcrap sounds about that?
58:40
Jimmy? That Greg Gutfeld was getting bigger ratings and then
58:44
the night shows on the network's correct much bigger Well, not
58:49
much but they were bigger. He beat all those guys. Yeah. And
58:53
Gutfeld show is just kind of a it's a low budget show it's
58:59
pretty much the same gas is not really there's no anything going
59:02
on besides gut feel doing one liners and the guest trying to
59:05
be funny. And there's not much to it. You don't have you know
59:10
even movie very
59:11
Adam Curry: cheap production no writing
59:16
John C Dvorak: our writers I don't know if you want to say
59:18
that. But I thought it was no writing. There are writers
59:23
surprisingly write a gut feel the gut feeling writes
59:26
Adam Curry: himself, I think but is he a member of the Union?
59:29
John C Dvorak: I wonder I don't know. Probably not. stand up
59:33
comic. No stand up comics or remember that union.
59:36
Adam Curry: So we had a dinner Friday night here in the hill
59:41
country dinner with some of the locals. Which one is the
59:49
international arms dealer? Oh, yeah. And then he by the way, he
59:54
served some dynamite wine. I asked him to send me all the
59:57
details. I think he's still drunk, so he didn't send To me,
1:00:00
but I asked him to.
1:00:02
John C Dvorak: He's all sitting here just to get the ball.
1:00:03
Remember what it said? Dude, I
1:00:05
Adam Curry: was drunk. I don't remember. It was he had so we
1:00:08
had two different champagnes to start with including a JCB. Are
1:00:12
you familiar with the JCB?
1:00:14
John C Dvorak: Not offhand.
1:00:15
Adam Curry: And, and I really, I don't want to embarrass myself,
1:00:18
but I will get the information for you. But I'm really dynamite
1:00:22
wines. And yeah, we had lobster rolls. And it was it was it was
1:00:28
actually a celebration for Tina's birthday. So he threw a
1:00:29
little birthday party for him up on the hill, at the
1:00:33
international arms dealers house. And so of course, you
1:00:37
know, he's nice and sauced up and like how's business. So he's
1:00:43
actually the lawyer for the arms dealer. And the end so I got a
1:00:47
little lowdown on how it works, because he's, you know, he's
1:00:50
there's two more aircraft C 130s, that have gone to Entebbe,
1:00:54
which is Uganda. And so he tells me how it works. The way it
1:01:01
works is, his client is of course, the actual arms dealer.
1:01:06
And then his client buys the aircraft from the US government,
1:01:11
while simultaneously sell selling it to a private dealer
1:01:17
in Uganda. So he actually owns the aircraft for about five
1:01:22
minutes. And then guess who buys it from that guy in Uganda?
1:01:28
Zelinsky the United Nations? Oh, really? Yes, really. And the
1:01:37
United Nations is down. They're collecting gear. And now they're
1:01:42
showing up in news reports because we know that there's
1:01:45
something going on with the weapons from from Ukraine going
1:01:49
down to Africa. And here's a report from Turkish Radio
1:01:53
Television.
1:01:54
Unknown: Russia's assault on Ukrainian southern ports
1:01:57
continues. At least 60,000 tons of grain had been lost. Grain
1:02:03
prices have risen and fears that food prices and food insecurity
1:02:08
will follow.
1:02:10
Wednesday saw the largest single day increase.
1:02:12
Adam Curry: This is a guy from the United Nations and wheat
1:02:15
Unknown: prices since the full scale invasion commenced. Some
1:02:19
will go hungry, some will starve, many may die.
1:02:23
Russia claims its targeting fuel facilities tied to a Ukrainian
1:02:28
attack on a bridge in Russian controlled Crimea days ago. But
1:02:33
Keefe says Moscow's attacks on crucial grain distribution for
1:02:37
the rest of the world is tied to Russia pulling out of the Black
1:02:41
Sea grain deal. On Friday, Ukrainian president Solinsky
1:02:45
promised our response showed yes or resist Cara Katie drop
1:02:49
someone in Russia hopes they can turn the Black Sea into the area
1:02:51
of arbitrary action and terrorism. They will not
1:02:54
succeed. We know how to defend ourselves.
1:02:57
The Lansky spoke on Friday with Turkish President Erdogan who
1:03:01
said he's willing to talk directly with Vladimir Putin
1:03:04
again, and possibly meet with him next month in Turkey as
1:03:09
these two children,
1:03:10
we believe the Russian Federation should be brought to
1:03:13
the table again, there is a high probability that solutions other
1:03:18
than this would be collision and will endanger security and
1:03:22
Moscow says it will treat ships heading toward Ukrainian ports
1:03:26
now as hostile subject to search or attack.
1:03:30
You go when you goes a little blue. All ships, all vessels
1:03:32
proceed into the black sea waters and Ukrainian ports
1:03:36
are we it by US
1:03:37
carriers of military cargo loaders.
1:03:40
Moscow says it is willing to rejoin the Green Deal only if it
1:03:44
gets economic concessions from the West, is the Lansky and
1:03:48
Putin have both been trying to court leaders in Africa who
1:03:52
stand to lose the most by the grain deals collapse. Putin has
1:03:56
promised to send them free grain. What's olanski says Putin
1:04:00
's latest aggression will cost African lives.
1:04:04
Adam Curry: I am now thinking in light of this conspiracy theory
1:04:09
we have part of eating bugs that that Russia may be and one of
1:04:14
our producers actually turned me on to this idea. Russia may be
1:04:17
stopping these grain exports to Africa because Putin knows this
1:04:23
is weapons going down there. What how else are they? How else
1:04:27
do you ship the weapons from Ukraine to Africa?
1:04:34
John C Dvorak: That's not a bad thought.
1:04:35
Adam Curry: Guys. I thought it was a very good thought. And by
1:04:39
the way, we now know the UN is down. They're buying stuff. What
1:04:42
John C Dvorak: is driving them down? That's for sure.
1:04:45
Adam Curry: Then why are they buying stuff? Why are they
1:04:47
buying C 130? What is the UN doing in Uganda? What is the UN
1:04:51
doing in Africa? What is the UN How about Sudan?
1:04:56
Unknown: A food crisis looms over war torn Sudan critical
1:05:01
infrastructure in the capital Khartoum and neighboring cities
1:05:04
of Khartoum, north and Omdurman has been damaged, resulting in
1:05:08
the closure of more than 90% of the food processing facilities.
1:05:13
And there's little help in sight. Escalating violence means
1:05:17
humanitarian organizations are unable to safely operate. And
1:05:21
the warring parties have been accused of that and disrupting
1:05:24
the flow of aid,
1:05:26
the ongoing conflict imperfect. It makes it more difficult for
1:05:33
us humanitarian actors to deliver this is a un guy
1:05:36
assistance is the life saving assistance is to go on.
1:05:43
Since Sudan's armed forces and the paramilitary rapid support
1:05:46
forces began fighting in April supply channels to the capital
1:05:50
Khartoum have been cut off, causing many regions to run out
1:05:53
of food. The basic necessities are extremely scarce, including
1:05:58
flour milk has been products, edible oil and beverages, as the
1:06:02
inventory is dwindling, and the price is constantly rising. Now
1:06:06
already to an exaggerated degree and it's still going with no
1:06:10
sign of stopping. And the scarcity of resources means
1:06:13
farmers are unable to plant their crops in time.
1:06:17
People are struggling to get by, no one knows what would come
1:06:21
tomorrow.
1:06:22
As the violence continues and relief supplies remain
1:06:25
inaccessible in many areas. 10s of 1000s of people are at risk
1:06:30
of starvation.
1:06:32
Adam Curry: Yeah, um, first of all, what is his war in Sudan.
1:06:37
John C Dvorak: And it might clip so we can get this catch up. But
1:06:39
that is the update on our second.
1:06:42
Adam Curry: Thank you. I'm glad you have this
1:06:44
Unknown: in Sudan.
1:06:45
The UN reports to enter you could have warned me 1000 people
1:06:48
have been displaced just in the past week as fighting rages
1:06:52
between the army and the paramilitary rapid support
1:06:54
forces or RSF. In the four months since the conflict
1:06:58
erupted, some 2.6 million people have been internally displaced
1:07:02
and over 730,000 fled Sudan survivors of the 2003 genocide
1:07:08
in Darfur for say the targeting of the most elite people and
1:07:11
today's conflict resembles the ethnic cleansing suffered in the
1:07:14
region. 20 years ago, the International Criminal Court
1:07:17
launched an investigation last week into possible war crimes
1:07:20
and crimes against humanity. And therefore, this is ICC
1:07:23
prosecutor Karim Khan,
1:07:25
we are by any analysis not on the precipice of a human
1:07:29
catastrophe, but in the very mists of one it is occurring,
1:07:33
and makes my analysis and my prayer and advice that we must
1:07:37
act urgently collectively to protect the most vulnerable.
1:07:42
Adam Curry: Okay, I don't understand. I know the Dutch
1:07:45
heli battalion because I was with them in Iraq in 2003. For
1:07:48
two weeks, they all went to either Afghanistan, or Mali or
1:07:55
dark for and they all pulled out in the last couple of years. And
1:08:00
now all of a sudden, it's a crap show over there. This smells, it
1:08:06
really smells. And by the way,
1:08:08
John C Dvorak: what about this rapid force, whatever it is this
1:08:11
this group via that's causing all the trouble. We don't have
1:08:14
any explanation or any deconstruction by the mainstream
1:08:18
or anybody else about what the hell's going on. This is some
1:08:22
sort of a screwball thing that I just get the distinct impression
1:08:27
were behind because Sudan is part of the West Clarke seven.
1:08:32
Adam Curry: It's funny you say that? Maybe we should just play
1:08:36
that for a second. The West Clarke seven always good to
1:08:39
remember
1:08:40
Unknown: seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and
1:08:44
then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off
1:08:49
Iran. Yeah, and
1:08:50
Adam Curry: if you hadn't, in case you hadn't noticed, Iran's
1:08:55
cranking up again,
1:08:56
Unknown: the new military moves the US is making as tensions
1:08:58
rise with Iran, the Secretary of Defense sending Marines and more
1:09:02
warships to the Middle East after a Ron's attempt to seize
1:09:05
two oil tankers in international waters. ABCs Inez de la Katara
1:09:09
has the latest now from London. Good morning to you and us.
1:09:12
Adam Curry: From London. Let's get the spooks on the line.
1:09:15
Unknown: Bad morning today. That's right. The US deploying
1:09:17
new assets to the Middle East amid growing tensions with Iran
1:09:20
Adam Curry: who gave the order to deploy new assets. Where's
1:09:24
the President saying? I think we should deploy some assets
1:09:27
because this is what's going on American people. No, no, no, no,
1:09:31
no, let's just do
1:09:32
Unknown: it. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordering additional
1:09:34
warships and forces does he get
1:09:36
Adam Curry: to do that? Void Austin. Yeah, I think I'll just
1:09:41
order some warships over there to
1:09:43
Unknown: the region. And that's on top of the Navy destroyer F
1:09:46
16. And f 35 is also being deployed US Central Command
1:09:50
saying this is all meant to deter Iran destabilizing
1:09:53
activities in the Strait of Hormuz with the US stopping Iran
1:09:57
from seizing two oil tankers traveling through internet
1:10:00
tional waters earlier this month CENTCOM says that in the last
1:10:03
two years, you're on has attacked, seized or attempted to
1:10:06
seize nearly 20 internationally flagged merchant vessels. Now
1:10:10
there are questions as to whether this could all be part
1:10:12
of a tit for tat, because the US has also been seizing oil
1:10:16
tankers, an effort to crack down on shipments of Iranian oil
1:10:19
evading US sanctions.
1:10:21
John C Dvorak: We have, we have one of these tankers that we
1:10:25
grabbed, yes, just off the coast of Texas. The Everclean is
1:10:32
they've been trying to sell off the oil to the Texas refiners
1:10:35
and nobody will buy it,
1:10:36
Adam Curry: one touches it. By the way, Victoria Nuland has
1:10:40
announced you will soon be visiting South Africa. And we
1:10:43
grieve we grieve for you South Africa, because when she visits,
1:10:48
you know, no good is going to come from that.
1:10:50
John C Dvorak: So there was a I guess it was running today, but
1:10:53
it was online. It was Margaret Brennan to Face The Nation with
1:10:59
with burns.
1:11:00
Adam Curry: Ah, did you get any clips?
1:11:02
John C Dvorak: I have one clip I couldn't. I clicked I recorded
1:11:05
the whole thing and listen to it. And I it's better for me to
1:11:08
summarize what Byrne said. Because Burns is a master at
1:11:13
really talking slow and not really telling me anything you
1:11:17
really want to know. And I'm talking about William Burns the
1:11:21
head of the CIA. Yeah. And he, he does have to end this was
1:11:27
taught and the other reason I don't have more eclipses up this
1:11:29
one is because it was obviously scripted. And I'll tell you some
1:11:33
of the things that we're missing that any journalists like
1:11:36
Brennan or any or Mark Martin have done. There's no question
1:11:41
about Ukraine and NATO. There's no question about Ukraine in the
1:11:46
EU. There's nothing about Putin his real motivation for doing
1:11:51
this. There's nothing about us setting him up or goading him.
1:11:54
There's nothing about Iran that's meaningful. There's no
1:11:57
quick questions. And so I just so I have this one clip. Which
1:12:01
brings me to a question about the clip. Because I think it's
1:12:04
the only reasonable clip and this is the very beginning of
1:12:07
the show. This is Brandon and burns.
1:12:09
Unknown: You've got the whole world to watch right now. So I
1:12:12
know you're busy. Man, I want to start on Ukraine and Russia with
1:12:15
this anniversary. on the cusp of Russia's invasion, you fluted
1:12:20
key. And you told President Solinsky tell me if this is
1:12:24
right, the Russians are coming to kill you. Was that the very
1:12:28
first thing you said,
1:12:29
when the very first thing I said to President Solinsky. But
1:12:32
President Biden didn't ask me to go to Cuba to lay out for
1:12:35
President Solinsky, the most recent intelligence we had which
1:12:39
suggested that what Vladimir Putin was planning was what he
1:12:42
thought would be a lightning strike from the Belarus border,
1:12:46
to seize Kyiv in a matter of a few days, and also to seize an
1:12:50
airport just northwest of cube called gusta mouth, which he
1:12:53
wanted to use as a platform to bring in Arabic or airborne
1:12:56
troops as a way again, of accelerating that lightning
1:13:00
conquest of Kyiv. And I think President Solinsky understood
1:13:04
what was at stake and what he was up against, are Ukrainian
1:13:07
intelligence partners also had good intelligence about what was
1:13:10
coming as well. But I do think that the role of intelligence in
1:13:14
this instance what we're able to provide to presidents Lenski not
1:13:17
just on that trip, but you know, throughout the course of the
1:13:19
war, have helped him to defend this country with such courage
1:13:24
and tenacity. And I think that made a contribution.
1:13:28
John C Dvorak: Okay, so yeah, the whole thing is like this,
1:13:30
Adam Curry: they're letting this they're hanging Zelinsky out to
1:13:33
dry.
1:13:33
John C Dvorak: Well, whatever the case is the point I get out
1:13:36
of this particular clip, and the only one that was really worth
1:13:39
playing, because as you can tell, you know,
1:13:42
Unknown: nothing or nothing.
1:13:46
John C Dvorak: So is, hey, if we knew so much about this in
1:13:49
advance months in advance to that extreme that he says he has
1:13:53
to fly, he personally has to fly to Kyiv to tell Zelinsky he's
1:13:58
gonna dead Putin wants to kill him.
1:14:02
Adam Curry: Why didn't we put a stop to it to not because what
1:14:04
really happened is he went there and said, Hey, we the CIA are
1:14:08
going to kill you, unless you send these arms down to Africa.
1:14:13
Because and I think this is what's going on. According to
1:14:16
economic policy Journal, the Chinese planted with 300 million
1:14:19
Chinese and Africa and take over the continent. But I think
1:14:23
that's what's going on. We just hate let's start a whole bunch
1:14:25
of wars down there. The Chinese will stay away until we can
1:14:28
figure it out. Send more guns,
1:14:32
John C Dvorak: if you remember, during the Libyan conflagration.
1:14:37
When we went after Qaddafi, out of the blue for no good reason
1:14:41
the Chinese had set up shop and had built a huge complex just in
1:14:47
Tripoli somewhere and it's still there as a shell because we bomb
1:14:52
the crap out of it. The Chinese scampered off, never to return.
1:14:57
So you might be right about the Chinese And because the Chinese
1:15:01
have been working in Africa since way before we started this
1:15:04
show, and we've documented it, both of us
1:15:06
Adam Curry: and they don't like conflict, the Chinese.
1:15:10
John C Dvorak: They're like Millennials are non
1:15:13
confrontational.
1:15:14
Adam Curry: The Chinese Millennials are not. They don't
1:15:20
don't cut in line. They can't tell time. No, that's, that's
1:15:26
John C Dvorak: from my experiences. All they do is cut
1:15:28
in line, but that's 10 bills. All right.
1:15:31
Adam Curry: So let me wrap up Africa. And then I think we can
1:15:34
I can show you where Ukraine is going. So the What is this? The,
1:15:45
the, the head of I think it's the Russian army, the ego
1:15:51
acrylic, Curie Lauf. Who is he many ways a Russian official. He
1:15:56
now says the documents were found in Ukraine, in the in the
1:16:03
labs that indicate that the Pentagon plan to test medical
1:16:08
drugs on the African population. became the Pentagon plan to use
1:16:18
US Army to test unregistered medical drugs, and then submit
1:16:22
them for approval? And of course, this involved agencies
1:16:28
such as meta biota, because why wouldn't we implicate Hunter
1:16:31
Biden while we're at it as beautiful? And then Russia. I
1:16:38
think this so I'm going to wind up Ukraine here as we there's
1:16:41
not much more we have on Africa right now. But when it comes to
1:16:45
Ukraine, this is what Vladimir Putin thinks is going to happen,
1:16:51
Unknown: while Germany says it will stand by Poland in case of
1:16:53
a potential attack from Wagner fighters in neighboring Belarus.
1:16:58
Members of the Russian mercenary group arrived at a base near the
1:17:01
Polish border earlier this week, and are due to hold joint
1:17:05
military exercises with Belarusian forces. Poland calls
1:17:10
that a provocation and is deploying more troops on his
1:17:14
eastern side and response. Russian President Vladimir Putin
1:17:17
alleged on Friday without any evidence that Poland is plotting
1:17:21
to seize parts of Ukraine and Belarus.
1:17:24
Adam Curry: Now one of our producers sent me this and I
1:17:26
said, Nah, that doesn't sound right. And then this clip shows
1:17:29
up. Like that could be a very potential possibility. Let's put
1:17:33
Poland in there. Let's get those guys going. Let's move the heat
1:17:37
off of us for a little bit. Because we now need to change
1:17:42
the focus of the military industrial complex, we need to
1:17:45
start sending weapons directly to Africa. We now have reasons
1:17:49
for it because there's war. We got crazy warlords in Sudan
1:17:54
we've got we need to arm the United Nations because people
1:17:57
are hungry. We need to go there with guns to feed the people. By
1:18:00
the way, why can't they eat bugs? Seemed like if you're
1:18:03
hungry, there's plenty of plenty of bugs there. So we're going to
1:18:08
ramp up something new
1:18:10
Unknown: videos showing a series of explosions across Russia in
1:18:13
occupied Crimea have been posted to social media sites. The
1:18:18
Moscow installed authorities on the peninsula say an ammunition
1:18:22
depot exploded and caught fire after being struck by Ukrainian
1:18:26
drones. The incident occurred at cross nobody's Scott in central
1:18:30
Crimea. They said there were no casualties in the blasts and
1:18:34
ordered an evacuation of the area. Ukraine's military has not
1:18:38
commented on the explosions. Let's welcome Marina Muran, a
1:18:44
military analyst at King's College London, Marina welcome,
1:18:48
which is a spook College. Let's talk about the drone attacks on
1:18:52
Russian occupied Crimea today. Just days after that significant
1:18:57
attack on the courage Bridge, which I'll remind our viewers
1:19:00
connects Crimea to Russia.
1:19:02
Adam Curry: So what we're seeing here and we've been hearing it
1:19:04
for a while with the Kamikaze drones with the Iranian drones
1:19:08
that sounds like a moped, we are into a new form of drone
1:19:12
warfare. And this is not your Reaper drones. This is not your
1:19:20
you know your your drones controlled by dudes sitting in
1:19:24
the Nevada desert, way too expensive, none at all. We need
1:19:28
to start sending some real military stuff down to Africa.
1:19:31
This has to be aboveboard. We've got to get some real funding for
1:19:35
it. But we need to do something with Zelinsky. We need to throw
1:19:39
the guy a bone and who tells us what's going on, but the anti
1:19:46
constitutionalist elitist douchebag, Fareed Zakaria on
1:19:50
CNN. And he brings in Eric Schmidt, the Google guy, the ex
1:19:58
Google guy who is now Everywhere you don't want to see this guy
1:20:02
show up, certainly in defense. And to start off this little
1:20:06
interview for Reid has to disclaim. I should note,
1:20:08
Unknown: I am a senior advisor at Schmidt futures his
1:20:11
philanthropic initiative.
1:20:12
Adam Curry: So this is a native ad. This is a native ad. Now
1:20:18
listen to what Eric Schmidt is saying.
1:20:21
Unknown: We meaning the Ukrainians, the US, the West
1:20:24
need a solution to get them moving.
1:20:27
So that gets us to drones. They are already using an
1:20:31
extraordinary number of drums, the Ukrainians, how many drones
1:20:34
are they using a week or a month,
1:20:37
they're on track to using a couple 100,000 drones in a year.
1:20:41
Most drones only survive one or two flights before they fail or
1:20:45
they're blocked. I was shocked at how good the Russians were at
1:20:50
electronic warfare and jamming. Basically, everything you send
1:20:53
into this battlefield, which is quite narrow, by the way, the
1:20:56
rest of the country is fine by suspect on both sides. They jam
1:21:01
everything GPS is jam, but also communications is jammed. So
1:21:05
normal drones don't work to the Ukrainians have taken cheap
1:21:08
Jones and added additional antenna antennas. One of things
1:21:11
that I learned for something called a kamikaze drone, which
1:21:15
is a $400 Chinese drone, it carries a small payload, it
1:21:19
moves so fast, you can't shoot it down. I had thought that that
1:21:22
was the innovation of the war. Two generals yesterday told me
1:21:26
that I'm wrong. And that what they really need are cruise
1:21:30
missile drones can go really far and carry it with wings and can
1:21:34
carry more payloads. I don't think the Ukrainian drone
1:21:37
strategy is completely formed. But they're building a
1:21:39
completely new theory of war,
1:21:41
Adam Curry: a completely new theory of war. Yes, drone
1:21:47
warfare people.
1:21:48
Unknown: And this is where we get to the solution for you. The
1:21:51
only way the Ukrainians can break through these lines is
1:21:54
with massive numbers of drums,
1:21:57
massive number of drones or massive number of human
1:22:00
casualties on both sides. The beauty of the drone is it can
1:22:03
take out the other side's military target without
1:22:06
collateral damage. Right. But you're right, very concerned
1:22:09
about the propagation of this war against other countries. But
1:22:13
I'm very concerned about its effect on civilians, both the
1:22:15
Russians and Ukrainians. The important thing about a drone is
1:22:18
it's a very, very targeted solution. It's very inexpensive.
1:22:23
I think the goal that we should have for Ukraine is to establish
1:22:26
the principle that there will never be another land war, where
1:22:30
you can invade successfully, that respecting the land, the
1:22:34
sovereignty of the land is important. If you're mad at
1:22:37
them, that's fine. You can negotiate. You can put pressure,
1:22:40
but you can't send artillery and flatten cities, which is what
1:22:44
the Russians have been doing.
1:22:46
How do you get? How do you how do you get to the solution of I
1:22:50
mean, is there can the Ukrainians produce hundreds of
1:22:53
1000s of drones,
1:22:54
they have the money, and they have the talent. They haven't
1:22:57
figured out how to build all the factories yet. And they have to
1:23:00
be built in Ukraine for many, many reasons. So what about 60
1:23:05
companies that are building these types of drones? What's
1:23:07
interesting is it's just like startups, in the sense that
1:23:10
they're not particularly well coordinated, they're moving so
1:23:12
quickly. Remember, this is all a year old, their operating
1:23:15
systems and software aren't very integrated. They can't speak to
1:23:17
each other, all the problems that you would imagine. Now, if
1:23:20
it were peacetime, you'd have an overall strategy, you get them
1:23:23
organized, and so forth. What's interesting to me is that this
1:23:27
is both a broadband war but it's also a technology war in the
1:23:30
sense that it's innovative. And innovation occurs in small
1:23:33
companies not in the MO D.
1:23:35
Adam Curry: There you go. So Eric Schmidt is going to go in
1:23:38
he's going to you're going to get all these companies going 60
1:23:42
companies and get all the factories going is going to be
1:23:44
drone warfare of little stupid drones over this five mile What
1:23:49
is it this this piece of land, which should be the
1:23:51
demilitarized drone land filled with cluster munitions? And as
1:23:56
he just said, everything else is fine on the other side and
1:23:58
nothing's wrong on the other side of that it's just a little
1:24:00
bit so they brought him in Hey, Schmidt you do the drone stuff
1:24:06
over there and Ukraine we're gonna move to Africa with the
1:24:08
real stuff
1:24:14
John C Dvorak: Well, that was a depressing clip.
1:24:18
Adam Curry: Whenever Schmidt shows up you can you know,
1:24:20
you're gonna get depressed What are you going to do but what can
1:24:22
you say?
1:24:23
John C Dvorak: For one thing, he's, he's a he's a bass a
1:24:28
Silicon Valley guy, period. He's not a war guy is not a Defense
1:24:31
Department guys. Not a strategic guys, not an extra General. He's
1:24:36
not as anything like that. He's just a guy who does startups and
1:24:39
that's what he's talking about. He wants to be in on the action.
1:24:44
When they when this whole thing ends and about a God knows how
1:24:48
when it's going to end but it's going to end eventually. And
1:24:51
then when they do the rebuilding, he's going to have a
1:24:54
toehold in that part of it, which is yes. For your money.
1:24:58
Yeah. Well, they already
1:24:59
Adam Curry: have have the money. He just said it. They already
1:25:02
have the money. Good to go.
1:25:07
John C Dvorak: And I have no I have not heard this notion that
1:25:10
100,000 drones because he's Djoser set off in it. The
1:25:16
Russian ones are set off in packs of five, I think. And they
1:25:20
you know, maybe there'd be 40 at a time, but hundreds of 1000s of
1:25:23
these know. Now there's no do nobody's building that many. If
1:25:29
you're the newsletter dip brought brought to drone thing
1:25:32
and a long essay by three four newsletters ago when did the
1:25:36
Iranian structure for drone manufacturing was was revealed
1:25:40
with pictures and everything. And it's no evidence of these
1:25:44
kinds of numbers.
1:25:45
Adam Curry: Anyway, to wrap this all up, as you pointed out, this
1:25:50
whole grain problem is because the UN because the UN tried to
1:25:54
put this deal together, they promised things they said
1:25:57
alright, we'll get your ammonia pipeline back up, we'll connect
1:26:00
one of your banks to Swift, and they didn't do it,
1:26:04
John C Dvorak: then no, they didn't do it on purpose. Yeah.
1:26:07
And
1:26:07
Adam Curry: meanwhile, they're, they're down there in Africa.
1:26:12
Getting ready, ramping up. Which is really hard for us because,
1:26:17
you know, we know a lot about stuff, but man Africa, that's a
1:26:20
tough one. So we're gonna need a lot of help from producers.
1:26:25
John C Dvorak: You're not gonna get it we don't have to really
1:26:26
have so few African listeners.
1:26:30
Adam Curry: Well, should we just pack it in then? Is that what
1:26:32
you're saying? The
1:26:34
John C Dvorak: show's over. We're gonna finalize it after
1:26:37
the next episode.
1:26:39
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
1:26:40
courage say morning to you with the man who put the sea in the
1:26:43
Chinese Millennials ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend
1:26:46
on the other end the one and only Mr. John
1:26:53
John C Dvorak: in the morning, and Mr. Adam crayons, gypsy
1:26:55
Bucha Rafi near subsidy, what are the names and the night,
1:27:00
nights out there in the
1:27:01
Adam Curry: morning to the trolls holed up homeless a troll
1:27:04
stand still counts possible to count these trolls 2323. Today,
1:27:16
that's pretty good,
1:27:17
John C Dvorak: I think is normal,
1:27:17
Adam Curry: it's on par. It's probably about 23
1:27:20
John C Dvorak: Well, we probably lost a few people who went off
1:27:22
the air. It
1:27:23
Adam Curry: didn't help. We had a little crash beforehand. Just
1:27:29
a little crash stuff does happen. The trolls are listening
1:27:32
live and they got a real dose of it today, because we started the
1:27:37
show seven minutes into it. Things crashed at them they had
1:27:40
to wait around and wait for stuff to happen. And
1:27:43
John C Dvorak: I were listening to bemrose I think it was
1:27:45
bemrose and and who else is on there are rock and roll.
1:27:51
Adam Curry: Yeah, we got the the Bluegrass show in the morning
1:27:54
even before then before that, yes. Trolls, if you want to join
1:27:59
them, you can do that by going to troll room.io no agenda
1:28:02
stream.com Or get a modern podcast app at podcast apps.com
1:28:08
that will give you all of your podcasts and it's the same as we
1:28:11
can get all of your you can import from your legacy podcast
1:28:14
app. But you'll get new features 25 new features in fact,
1:28:18
including the great new lit systems where you get a bad
1:28:21
signal when when we go live and other shows go live all have no
1:28:24
agenda stream is basically using these apps. So you might want to
1:28:28
be a part of that. And you get the troll room and you get a get
1:28:32
the stream and of course you also get to the podcast there
1:28:35
and regular fashion. So we we recommend that also we recommend
1:28:39
that you follow us on our Mastodon site, which is no
1:28:43
agenda social.com Follow Adam at no agenda social.com Jhansi
1:28:46
Dvorak at no agenda social.com. And well, so I saw the meme that
1:28:52
you posted in the newsletter. Yeah, and exactly as this meme
1:28:57
said. I thought it was dumb. Yeah, I don't get I do not
1:29:01
understand 99% of memes are just dumb.
1:29:08
John C Dvorak: Now at which you've just proved the point of
1:29:10
the meme,
1:29:11
Adam Curry: I know but it was it's not funny. Shouldn't the
1:29:14
meme be funny? You know what meme is? A meme is basically
1:29:18
diarrhea for
1:29:19
John C Dvorak: not a one liner. It's not like you know, any
1:29:22
young men material
1:29:23
Adam Curry: memes or diarrhea for the illiterate. That's what
1:29:27
that is. As people might think before
1:29:29
John C Dvorak: you go on about any of this. I think we should
1:29:31
hear from Claire daily while we still have some listeners that
1:29:34
might be amenable to her pitch
1:29:37
Unknown: in the morning. If you truly cared about media
1:29:40
deconstruction, and about John and Adam, you'd be pushing value
1:29:45
for value. If everyone listening would do sustain and donation
1:29:49
and be champagne all around. Thank you for your courage.
1:29:53
Adam Curry: Thank you for your courage. Claire Daly, everybody.
1:29:58
Even the socialists listen to us now, you must be doing something
1:30:02
right
1:30:03
John C Dvorak: value for value value for value if
1:30:05
Adam Curry: you cared if you cared. Thank you for your
1:30:07
courage. Beautiful. Thank you, Claire. We appreciate that. Yes,
1:30:11
that is the model that we follow, where we give you the
1:30:14
show for free. You can listen to it as much as you want, you can
1:30:18
share it with anybody. There's no restrictions, no paywalls, no
1:30:21
subscriptions, no Patreon, no things to hop over stoop under
1:30:25
don't have to have ad blockers. There's no ads at all. All we
1:30:29
ask for is that you return some value in time, talent, and
1:30:33
treasure. Quick note, I want to there's some
1:30:35
John C Dvorak: pitch pitch maniacs on LinkedIn, they keep
1:30:38
pitching me to, to, we should be using them as consultants. Oh,
1:30:43
so really do premium content
1:30:46
Adam Curry: premium content as well. We do premium content
1:30:49
twice a week. There you go. And we do a Netflix season's worth
1:30:55
six hours more than six hours. That's what we do.
1:30:59
John C Dvorak: We explain to them we're throwing money away.
1:31:02
Adam Curry: We're well that may that may be the case. But that's
1:31:06
but we are doing what we want to do and the value for value
1:31:09
allows us to do that. Like sir bemrose You know, he runs all of
1:31:13
the stream we got a void zero running all of the
1:31:16
infrastructure we've got sir Daniel our night doing night
1:31:19
stuff over that. No agenda meetups.com. We've got our
1:31:23
artists, which we'll get to in a moment. I want to read a note
1:31:25
from Matt. He says, I want to let you know how much I cherish
1:31:30
the show rank, which was a couple episodes ago was
1:31:32
seriously off the charts good. I had been too busy with my new
1:31:35
business to do art. So I'm switching gears for a bit and
1:31:39
doing a monthly donation to share some of my recently mined
1:31:42
treasure to this one I'm talking about. Here's the guy who gets
1:31:46
it time talent treasure. I can't deliver my talent right now. So
1:31:50
I'm going to give you some treasure instead. What are you
1:31:53
drinking?
1:31:55
John C Dvorak: It turns out I find another candidate is bubbly
1:31:58
be you be li bleh bleh stuff here the Buddha has said that
1:32:02
that's been doctored
1:32:05
Adam Curry: so on that tip has value for value we love our
1:32:07
artists who returned value every single show to us they are
1:32:11
listening live and they are creating artwork that we can use
1:32:14
right after the show is done so we can upload it for millions to
1:32:18
download and find it in the podcast app I'm banning this
1:32:25
this big glass I'm banning this practice it's take too long. We
1:32:32
thank Matt That data's Mata dat Mata dat has method that had a
1:32:40
any artwork chosen previously I do no I don't say so. I think
1:32:44
not. But Mata dad has been doing artwork for a while.
1:32:49
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and some of it quite good.
1:32:51
Adam Curry: But just hasn't had a had a win. And now we argued
1:32:56
quite a bit over what to choose
1:32:58
John C Dvorak: and was a very hard piece to pick. It was if
1:33:01
Adam Curry: this was a spot the spook and it showed a whole
1:33:05
bunch of stick figure kind of I'd say almost like play mobiel
1:33:09
type people, and one of them did not have pants on. And that of
1:33:13
course was expertly weaseled in there based upon the
1:33:18
conversation we heard from the CIA spook podcast, where they
1:33:24
said that people these days are so distracted by their phones
1:33:27
that we can change our pants take our pants off in public was
1:33:31
great. So so we figured this
1:33:33
John C Dvorak: piece did we I had this piece was up against
1:33:35
what was the unit like something smells better?
1:33:38
Adam Curry: Well, we had to excoriate because there was some
1:33:42
issues with Oh, yes.
1:33:44
John C Dvorak: Polka tour as a matter of fact, yes.
1:33:47
Adam Curry: Paul couture had where it was it was his well
1:33:50
John C Dvorak: he had to not curry not DeVore AK it was just
1:33:56
but he had a we I don't know what is I don't know what his I
1:33:59
didn't know he wasn't the one we're scoring.
1:34:02
Adam Curry: First of all, the one that we actually came close
1:34:04
to choosing because of its simplicity and beauty and laugh
1:34:08
factor was Bobby The up from Tim Kenny Ben.
1:34:12
John C Dvorak: Yes, we almost picked that piece.
1:34:15
Adam Curry: I still laugh when I see it.
1:34:18
John C Dvorak: Throwback piece to the old piece years and years
1:34:21
ago we had a piece that one which was George and I'm sorry
1:34:24
Jeb Bush with these glasses on in big giant eyeballs.
1:34:28
Adam Curry: Yes. Now the one that I wanted, which we did not
1:34:30
choose was from correct to record. He was CIA in Africa.
1:34:35
And the reason we didn't choose it is because the the name tag
1:34:40
the badge that the spook is wearing there in Africa with is
1:34:43
unreadable is unreadable with incredibly racist depictions.
1:34:46
Just a piece that someone we have to explore strategist
1:34:50
because of course in Africa there's only savages with spears
1:34:53
and spears. Yes and only spears. That wasn't a problem for us
1:34:57
know the frog. No, that's
1:34:59
John C Dvorak: fine. The
1:35:01
Adam Curry: problem was the see at the spooks, but name tag was
1:35:05
too small.
1:35:07
John C Dvorak: Not CIA. Now I picked I wanted to bring this up
1:35:10
Darren O'Neal did a piece of Yeah, I use it for the
1:35:14
newsletter because I thought it was kind of a nice piece. But
1:35:17
that is that reeks of mid journey. And I mean reeks of it.
1:35:23
Oh, guys, yes. Yeah. So I don't understand what Darren is doing
1:35:28
by doing AI art, which is what is because we know Darren skill
1:35:34
skill set and his limitations. This is not it. This is nothing
1:35:39
like Derrick could possibly do in a million years. No, even
1:35:43
with clipart. So,
1:35:45
Adam Curry: and he submitted a cheesecake piece which was
1:35:47
typical Darren, which was good,
1:35:50
John C Dvorak: but the cheesecake was good, but it was
1:35:52
the fact was it was AI. Yeah.
1:35:56
Adam Curry: Still nice. How many fingers does she have? Let me
1:36:00
say dough ImageReady
1:36:02
John C Dvorak: doesn't make that mistake. Mid journey makes that
1:36:04
mistake to know I've never seen a mid journey piece that has 10
1:36:08
fingers or anything is it's dolly and some of the other ones
1:36:12
that really can't do fingers
1:36:13
Adam Curry: but it really just had no humor just didn't it was
1:36:16
just surely just a
1:36:17
John C Dvorak: vicious cheesecake. Girl just cheese
1:36:20
kind of a big a lot of good a lot of bars.
1:36:23
Adam Curry: A lot of Barbie stuff. No, no,
1:36:26
John C Dvorak: no eating enough publicity. Yeah.
1:36:29
Adam Curry: The bill. Bill Gates and Anthony wiener was cute. But
1:36:34
no, no, no, no. Yeah, Barbie stuff. No, no, the closest the
1:36:40
book came close was the racist depiction of the spook in
1:36:45
Africa. We couldn't read a sign. And Bobby The app was funny. It
1:36:49
was simplistically some funny, but it came very close. But we
1:36:53
congratulate meta dot meta dot for being the selected art for
1:36:58
episode 1574. If you're using one of those modern podcast
1:37:02
apps, you'll see the artwork changing during the during the
1:37:06
show, it's really cool. If you're using that in the car,
1:37:08
the article change if you're using Android Auto or Car Play,
1:37:14
you'll see that on your dashboard and it'll give you
1:37:16
another chuckle. Just an extra dimension, so many cool things.
1:37:20
And of course, you can always follow along at no agenda, art
1:37:22
generator.com You can follow along live. And obviously you
1:37:27
can upload yourself and participate. Thank you to all of
1:37:29
our artists, we really appreciate you. Thank you for
1:37:33
delivering us fantastic time and talent as always. Now to the
1:37:37
treasure. We thank our first and top executive producer for
1:37:42
episode 1575 coming to us from Texas from San Antonio. Eric
1:37:46
Reinhardt $1,000. And he says, Adam and John, this is my first
1:37:52
time donating so please do
1:37:56
Unknown: D deuced.
1:37:59
Adam Curry: He says yalls bitching during the donation
1:38:02
segment an episode 1573 was the kick in the butt I needed.
1:38:05
Whoever said complaining never gets you anything. I don't think
1:38:08
we were complaining. I think we're laying out our case for
1:38:11
value for value. Let me know if you want. I mean it's a little
1:38:14
different than complaining or we never complain. No, we're just
1:38:18
telling you like it is we're transparent we we give you
1:38:21
everything. We tell you that the right hairs like we tell you
1:38:25
what what comes in, you can counter it yourself. You'd be
1:38:27
surprised. You'd be surprised when we only have five or six
1:38:30
executive producers. You know, this is all we do. And we're
1:38:36
happy we had one. We had one distro we had one now does he
1:38:41
not become a knight today? Does he have no requests for
1:38:44
knighting? or anything of the kind? Missy we have
1:38:47
John C Dvorak: even as we say yeah, got the de douching so
1:38:50

1:38:53

1:38:57
night. I will read Michael Pearson Aurora, Colorado. A nice
1:39:03
place no note so give him his 80108
1:39:08
Unknown: You've got karma,
1:39:12
John C Dvorak: so I'm thinking Oh 108 Is the donation for a guy
1:39:20
with big tits.
1:39:24
Adam Curry: I do not I despise that word boobs as okay tits.
1:39:27
It's just it's so crass.
1:39:29
John C Dvorak: It's it's the right name and that's the that
1:39:32
is the doctor's name so they call them
1:39:35
Adam Curry: doctors they call them breasts You're kidding me?
1:39:39
John C Dvorak: They're not a miss in Katy Texas chemistry
1:39:41
with six doctor
1:39:42
Adam Curry: do you go to? Really? Okay.
1:39:48
John C Dvorak: Reminds me of the joke. I won't do that. The joke
1:39:53
the pope the blind Pope joke everyone knows the punchline.
1:39:56
Anonymous in Katy Texas. $600 says and not The miss so give me
1:40:02
a double the double of karma for them. Okay oops the he or she
1:40:07
Adam Curry: has the he or she here we go you've got karma all
1:40:18
right then we go to the big blowout here sir 1% of the GTF
1:40:23
Oh, he's from Dixie Washington. And he comes in with 45678 we do
1:40:28
like that and this change bumps him up to Baron and you request
1:40:32
screw your freedom new and welcome with the Constitution
1:40:35
because it's simply impossible. For there too much to be too
1:40:38
much goat goat scream karma for all in the morning gents. I am
1:40:42
back with more treasure with this donation of 45678 I become
1:40:45
a baron ain't that great? Now that I've launched my rap career
1:40:48
on no agenda, but not but I'm thinking that I should keep a
1:40:53
day job I request to be named the Baron of the free Republic
1:40:56
of Liberland. Contrary to the information poured forth on air
1:41:00
on my last produce, no became a train wreck. Liberland has
1:41:03
nothing to do with Washington state where I presently live. It
1:41:05
is nestled in between Serbia and Croatia, on the Danube River on
1:41:10
land that is not claimed by either country. How about that?
1:41:14
I wrote. I didn't know that study was
1:41:16
John C Dvorak: talking about lib lib libs, lib libs in Washington
1:41:21
state which is loaded with them.
1:41:22
Adam Curry: Our relations with our neighbors are becoming
1:41:24
friendlier all the time. Our passport is gaining recognition
1:41:27
internationally as a valid travel document and permanent
1:41:30
settlement of our land has recently begun. Hold on a
1:41:33
second. Can we get passports to this country?
1:41:36
John C Dvorak: Get us some passports dude, yeah.
1:41:40
Adam Curry: We'd love to become citizens. Our motto is live and
1:41:44
let live. Our government is constitutionally kept lean and
1:41:47
limited through a combination of strictly voluntary taxes as my
1:41:51
kind of taxes it may not take on debt and it's allowed one job
1:41:56
only the protection of the right to one's private property and
1:41:59
whatever they might do with it, of which the most pressing is an
1:42:03
individual's own life. You could say that we whip him with a
1:42:06
constitution. The one thing that we're building is really
1:42:11
starting to happen. So I'm encouraging all freedom loving
1:42:15
Gitmo nation inmates to check us out get involved and even become
1:42:19
one of us. Faithfully suppressing your exit strategy
1:42:23
1% at a time Well, I'm interested I would like to I
1:42:27
would like some more information about this and thank you for
1:42:29

Love the show. I've been listening off and on since the

show numbers were in the low 50s. I've never donated as $1
1:43:54
per hour of listening pleasure, I have to owe at least 10 grand.

Good luck getting that out of me. So here's 33333 As a token

listening for 10 years maybe from the beginning and like me

John C Dvorak: to her into it. I rarely see MSNBC but it did run
2:00:12
into a Nicole Wallace piece.
2:00:14
Adam Curry: Oh man, I tried to run away from that. She is so
2:00:18
bad. She's not only bad. She's looking bad. I mean, she's
2:00:23
John C Dvorak: starting to look haggard, she's Yeah. Which is
2:00:25
something that women do not like. By
2:00:27
Adam Curry: the way. That's only we only saying that as
2:00:29
television producers. We have experience we've been in the
2:00:32
business. We know what works. We know what doesn't work. We've
2:00:35
never never made women twirl around for us, but we do know
2:00:38
yet. She she needs to fix her cheeks. It's time now. And I can
2:00:43
speak to this she needs to fix her teeth. And the hairdo has
2:00:46
got to change I'm thinking of Bob
2:00:50
John C Dvorak: thinking a bald cut personally.
2:00:53
Adam Curry: Well, that'll that'll be after you know,
2:00:55
everything happens when we shave her head but that's so there's a
2:00:57
John C Dvorak: bunch of there's a bunch of just errors and she
2:01:00
can't use she's not using the right words. I'm gonna give some
2:01:04
of it away as we go. But she's also very bigoted and the way
2:01:07
she presents everything. So let's let's
2:01:09
Adam Curry: hold on, let's just straight up tell people that she
2:01:12
used to be communications director or spokes haul for the
2:01:17
Republican Party under Bush.
2:01:20
John C Dvorak: I believe so. He
2:01:21
Adam Curry: went to Bush so she
2:01:22
John C Dvorak: will you look it up. But I could. She is now a
2:01:27
die hard Democrat. MSNBC hater. Hater. She's a hater. And that
2:01:33
says here's hate right at the beginning she's gonna have Eric
2:01:35
Holder on. It knows nothing about anything but she's
2:01:39
bringing him on anyway to hate gather hate together, just hey,
2:01:43
here's her intro listen to this.
2:01:45
Unknown: I want to ask you what it is like for the men and women
2:01:50
working at the department to see one of their leaders, Jack
2:01:54
Smith, targeted and threatened by Donald Trump and his allies.
2:01:58
And I'm sure you and I have both been attacked over Twitter by by
2:02:02
the choice indicted twice impeached. Ex President
2:02:05
Adam Curry: Bush also mentioned that Eric Holder was attorney
2:02:08
general, famously corrupt Attorney General under President
2:02:13
Obama.
2:02:15
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and he was part of Fast and Furious and
2:02:18
gunrunning and the whole thing and lying and lying and he's a
2:02:21
liar. He's a liar but the thing about this though is she asked
2:02:24
to put in twice indicted twice impeach yeah,
2:02:27
Adam Curry: that's, that's like this, like you're saying to me,
2:02:30
you twice divorced? I've never said that. No, of course not.
2:02:35
You would never say that. Because you're not a hater like
2:02:37
Nicole Wallace.
2:02:39
John C Dvorak: That phrase though, now, here we go. And I
2:02:43
did listen to this clip. And I have a sub clip highlighting it.
2:02:47
She uses the wrong word. She's trying to say condemn, but she
2:02:53
says condone Which one do you want me to play the subclade
2:02:57
doll play to the big one is sub clip as the short one. That's
2:03:00
true. That just highlights it. The other one is in context.
2:03:03
Unknown: I think there's something that people don't
2:03:04
understand that your family worries and there is a
2:03:08
destabilizing nature to being targeted by the leader of that
2:03:12
movement leader of the right, a party that doesn't quickly
2:03:15
condone violence that doesn't quickly condone anti semitism
2:03:18
that doesn't quickly condemn racism, there is something
2:03:21
again, this is where the right is on to a set of tools that
2:03:25
that more closely approximate and autocrats tool.
2:03:31
John C Dvorak: Both she's a bonehead. Yes. And yes, she will
2:03:35
say Republican Party because she knows that she's bigoted at all
2:03:38
as it is. But now here's the sub clip so everyone can remember
2:03:41
what she said. Listen to the stupidity of these comments,
2:03:44
Unknown: leader of the right a party that doesn't quickly
2:03:47
condone violence that doesn't quickly condone anti semitism
2:03:51
that doesn't quickly condemn racism now
2:03:53
Adam Curry: did at any point did you hear Nicole dodge condemn
2:03:56
such condemned because you correct yourself? Because she's
2:03:59
being sabotage. She's being sabotage if they didn't let me
2:04:02
correct her on that from the control room. That's,
2:04:06
John C Dvorak: I think they're asleep and the control Portage.
2:04:09
But yes, they wouldn't quickly condone racism, like the
2:04:13
Democrats would.
2:04:16
Adam Curry: Exactly. Well, as we say, but the heart is full of
2:04:19
the mouth overflows with.
2:04:22
John C Dvorak: And there's a Dutch phrase for that. Yeah.
2:04:24
Adam Curry: Vote hearts on hold as follows dot Lok the month on
2:04:27
over.
2:04:30
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Nick. Yeah. Nicole Wallace with holder clip
2:04:36
three. Here we go with a WTF clip
2:04:39
Unknown: what is available to them or how they are at this
2:04:41
moment, this unprecedented moment where they've been dying.
2:04:44
They've charged an ex president and they seem to be on the
2:04:46
precipice of charging him again. Yeah,
2:04:48
I mean, this is something that, you know, has to have an impact
2:04:51
on people within the department. I mean, these are strong folks.
2:04:54
And you know, they're used to being criticized but the level
2:04:58
of criticism that you see Hear the unfounded levels of
2:05:01
criticism that you see here are really kind of unprecedented.
2:05:05
And so that's why as, as I said earlier, I hope that those
2:05:09
people who are right minded will come to the defense of the
2:05:12
people in the bureau, defensive people at the Justice
2:05:16
Department, and understand that these personal attacks on Jack
2:05:20
Smith and other people, you know, I remember when, after the
2:05:25
court authorized search of the MAR a Lago residence, the names
2:05:29
and the addresses of the who actually conducted that search,
2:05:34
were publicized. And shortly thereafter, a you know, a person
2:05:39
decided to attack the FBI office in Cincinnati.
2:05:44
John C Dvorak: Wait. So a bunch of Florida FBI guy supposedly
2:05:50
got outed,
2:05:52
Adam Curry: which I didn't hear. You hear about. I didn't hear
2:05:55
about this.
2:05:56
John C Dvorak: I didn't, who I know about the Cincinnati
2:05:57
office. But I never heard about a public reveal of these guys
2:06:01
home addresses. And what's that got to do with the office in
2:06:04
Cincinnati? And why does it he mentioned Brett Kavanaugh, who's
2:06:08
whose house is personal residence was actually attacked
2:06:11
by a bunch of left wing lunatic. That's what about
2:06:14
Adam Curry: ism? John, that's a false equivalency
2:06:17
John C Dvorak: never mentions that, does he?
2:06:19
Adam Curry: Of course not. Why would he?
2:06:23
John C Dvorak: So here we go with the final clip on this
2:06:25
group.
2:06:26
Unknown: So there are real world consequences for this, and you
2:06:30
put people's lives at risk for no good reason. Now, you know,
2:06:35
people who sign up for work for the FBI understand that they're
2:06:39
putting their lives at risk, and they can, you know, face all
2:06:42
kinds of life and death situations, but not these kinds
2:06:45
of life and death situations that are perpetrated by people
2:06:49
who are former government officials generally and
2:06:52
formulated by people or by a person who was the former
2:06:55
president of the United States. This is something again,
2:06:59
unprecedented, something that we should not accept, and something
2:07:04
that we have to push back against.
2:07:08
John C Dvorak: What about Cavanaugh
2:07:10
Adam Curry: unprecedented unprecedented for FBI perhaps? I
2:07:16
liked your I liked your newsletter, analysis of Bobby,
2:07:20
the op and the and what what went down with this censorship
2:07:26
hearing in? In the House of Representatives? Yeah. You want
2:07:31
to reiterate that for a moment?
2:07:34
John C Dvorak: Well, there was a effect. I think I have a clip.
2:07:38
It's not a Kennedy clip, but it's a clip about the hearings
2:07:43
just doing find
2:07:44
Adam Curry: it talking to the mic, though, because you're kind
2:07:46
of dropping out a little bit.
2:07:47
John C Dvorak: Oh, I'm sorry. Again, to Mike has moved. You
2:07:51
didn't move it back. Don't freak out.
2:07:54
Adam Curry: That mic is moving. It's moving mic.
2:07:58
John C Dvorak: Let's see. Does that sound better?
2:08:00
Adam Curry: Yeah. Now we can at least hear you now. You're here.
2:08:02
Welcome.
2:08:04
John C Dvorak: Where is this thing?
2:08:05
Adam Curry: I have some clips on if you can't find it.
2:08:09
John C Dvorak: I can't find it. But that'd be I'll tell you
2:08:12
what, what the deal is. So there was this hearing out of the blue
2:08:15
with Kennedy coming into talking about censorship and of course
2:08:18
tried to censor the hearing alert with the clips about and
2:08:25
it I believe the whole thing was scripted. And I believe Debbie
2:08:29
Debbie Wasserman Schultz was had the script. She couldn't she
2:08:34
barely read it. And he got him outraged. And the whole thing
2:08:38
was designed to get him attention.
2:08:40
Adam Curry: And I'm, I'm gonna agree with you on this because
2:08:44
they also put the heat seeking missile, the Dumbo nobody cares
2:08:48
about because she doesn't have a vote. The representative from
2:08:53
the Virgin Islands.
2:08:54
John C Dvorak: Yeah. What'd she do in there?
2:08:56
Adam Curry: Well, she's great. Well, first of all, she's black.
2:08:58
So that that Stacy Plaskett is who we're talking about. So So
2:09:01
that's me. No, you can't. She got special privilege.
2:09:05
John C Dvorak: Oh, here I got my clips. I found them. Okay. This
2:09:08
is Jeffrey Tucker, discussing in Jeffrey Tucker is one of the
2:09:13
talking heads in TD brings on he's the head of some some think
2:09:17
tank and it's pretty good. It's good. Jeffrey Tucker,
2:09:20
Unknown: good to see you again. That's a pleasure to be here.
2:09:22
Thank you so much. Jeffrey. Some
2:09:24
Democrats signed a letter calling for RFK Junior's
2:09:27
testimony to be canceled. Tell us about that.
2:09:30
Well, it was it was actually just an epic moment and in
2:09:34
history to see him there. And I knew this was coming I guess you
2:09:38
know, two weeks ago when I've been a little bit mum about it.
2:09:42
Because
2:09:42
Adam Curry: what was that?
2:09:44
John C Dvorak: No. It's the silliest laugh.
2:09:47
Adam Curry: So he says I've been a little bit mum about it.
2:09:51
John C Dvorak: That's keeping a secret. This is in D D.
2:09:59
Unknown: And I knew this was cut mean I guess two weeks ago when
2:10:01
I've been a little bit mom about it?
2:10:04
Adam Curry: Do I have to question this guy right away?
2:10:08
Unknown: Because I had a feeling it was gonna be like this but
2:10:11
sure enough, so they Democrats sent a letter try denouncing him
2:10:15
with
2:10:15
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. So we need to know what this guy is
2:10:18
from because he knew it. That means he must have informed
2:10:25
people that it was coming he must have informed that that's
2:10:28
what it sounds like, if not the No, he was informed that was
2:10:31
coming or if he knew it was coming, then he might have
2:10:34
informed some political people don't I'm just interesting,
2:10:37
because
2:10:38
Unknown: I had a feeling it was going to be like this. But sure
2:10:40
enough, so they Democrats sent a letter try it, you know,
2:10:43
denouncing him as anti Semite, which the most absurd charged
2:10:47
and sure enough right out of the bat, because immediately, the
2:10:50
Democrats passed a or tried to rally around a move to go to
2:10:55
Executive Session, which is to say, they wanted to go to a
2:10:59
secret session not available to the public, so the public
2:11:02
couldn't see it. So in other words, they're trying to censor
2:11:05
the hearing on censorship, I have to say if it ain't people
2:11:09
but what if they should go to a park and watch the whole thing
2:11:12
people need to see it because it's odd, I'd forgotten that it
2:11:17
was possible to make good points and good sense and rational
2:11:21
arguments inside science within the halls of Congress. We think
2:11:24
we've we've we've gotten used to what a clown show it is, he
2:11:27
showed show them up.
2:11:32
John C Dvorak: Interesting, interesting go to clip you.
2:11:35
Unknown: He explained that the First Amendment is really the
2:11:37
foundation of all the rest of our liberties. He described it
2:11:40
as the fertilizer, the water in the sun, to to democracy, but he
2:11:46
said without that sort of open openness that all of our rights
2:11:49
become an ad become in danger. And he said at least to dystopia
2:11:55
and totalitarianism. Here's the thing that I started started
2:11:58
realizing as I was listening to this hearing, we had the
2:12:01
censorship had been so extreme and so tight, a lot of us with
2:12:05
who were dissenters at all the COVID crackdowns and, and even
2:12:09
on the Biden laptop and everything else, we might have
2:12:12
been in the overwhelming majority the entire time. But
2:12:16
because of the censorship, we were made to feel isolated and
2:12:19
strange and like persecuted group of dissenters, not even a
2:12:24
group, a lot of us just felt alienated and isolated. Now we
2:12:27
realize looking back, that was all intentional. That was the
2:12:30
goal was to drive us out of the public debate in a quasi martial
2:12:35
law style censorship.
2:12:37
John C Dvorak: I liked that analysis.
2:12:39
Adam Curry: Yes. And it goes well, with we with what you said
2:12:45
that this hearing was scripted to a degree that that censorship
2:12:51
thing would come up, but also as an actual, perhaps even a stress
2:12:56
test from the real movers and shakers in the Democratic Party
2:12:59
to see if Kennedy can really stand up to it.
2:13:04
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, there's definitely elements, the
2:13:07
stress test is on. We only have I mean, it's a year away the
2:13:12
election. But the real thing, it all begins pretty much the
2:13:16
beginning of next year of with these primaries in Kennedy's got
2:13:20
to have turned around. I mean, I had the dinner table
2:13:23
conversation with the kids. And they all think Kennedy's a
2:13:28
conspiracy theorist. So that, that that's the image of him has
2:13:34
been put in play and is working well so far.
2:13:38
Adam Curry: Well, of course, it's, it's always helped by the
2:13:43
Kennedy family themselves.
2:13:44
Unknown: Tonight, one of America's most famous families
2:13:47
engaged in a very public feud.
2:13:49
Hi, I'm Jack Schlossberg. And I have something to say
2:13:53
Jack Schlossberg the grandson of President John F. Kennedy and
2:13:56
the son of Caroline Kennedy, taking to Instagram to speak out
2:14:00
against his relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
2:14:02
Let's not be distracted again. By somebody's vanity project.
2:14:06
He's training in on Camelot, celebrity conspiracy theories
2:14:11
and conflict for personal gain and fame.
2:14:13
He's not alone. RFK Jr, Sister Kerry Kennedy and nephew, former
2:14:18
Congressman Joe Kennedy have condemned the remarks. And now
2:14:21
Republicans are using rhetoric as a tool to attack the Biden
2:14:24
administration on Capitol Hill. slandering me Tom DeLonge
2:14:29
radically dishonest RFK Jr. rejects the idea that his views
2:14:35
are racist or anti semitic but members of his family are
2:14:38
backing away and putting their support behind Biden's
2:14:41
reelection. The Kennedy family has a deep relationship with the
2:14:44
Biden's Joe Biden served with Ted Kennedy in the Senate for
2:14:47
decades and appointed several Kennedy's to administration
2:14:50
posts.
2:14:52
Adam Curry: You know, this is a clip this is a 19 year old, busy
2:14:55
19 I think he's 19 Was he born 93 Now he's 30 But when he was
2:15:03
19 This is a bunch of stuff being self made your copertura
2:15:06
hell, this kid's projecting. Really? Who's traded this
2:15:10
slosberg kid?
2:15:11
John C Dvorak: Oh, the Schlosberg kid is. Again, I
2:15:15
suspect the script involved. No projecting it all
2:15:20
Adam Curry: in October 2015. After graduating from Yale,
2:15:23
which GE if you're maybe related to the Kennedy's you get in
2:15:26
there. He started working at a Japanese internet e commerce
2:15:30
company in Tokyo, of course, why not? In 2016, he worked as a
2:15:34
staff assistant, the Bureau of Oceans and international
2:15:36
environmental and Scientific Affairs, part of the US
2:15:39
Department of State. G, you think that he's trading off of
2:15:43
the Kennedy name? I think he's a spook, he obtained the Medal of
2:15:47
Freedom Award dinner to commemorate the 50th anniversary
2:15:50
of his grandfather's death. Come on kid care. So, Anderson Cooper
2:15:59
had had had the the main actor on his show. Stacy Plaskett, the
2:16:07
representative from the Virgin Islands, who was just, I mean,
2:16:10
the thing she was saying was, it was I mean, she could go work
2:16:14
for NPR. She's so bigoted. And so so actually, Anderson Cooper
2:16:21
did a pretty good job. He gives us some of the clips from the
2:16:24
hearing, and he's got her on. And so I this is a nice little
2:16:27
series democratic Stacey
2:16:29
John C Dvorak: Plaskett is the ranking member of the
2:16:30
subcommittee on weaponization of the federal government, which
2:16:33
held the hearing today she pushed back on the comments you
2:16:35
heard Kennedy make prior to the hearing, and COVID was
2:16:38
ethnically targeted.
2:16:40
Unknown: These are individuals who would bring a witness who's
2:16:44
promoted a video to compare the COVID vaccine to the Tuskegee
2:16:49
trials. The Tuskegee trials were a very difficult time in black
2:16:54
America, were individuals who were already sick with a disease
2:17:00
were then reviewed, experimented on who already had a disease, to
2:17:07
see how far that disease went. And making the comparison to
2:17:12
manip that manipulates and preys on black people's feelings about
2:17:16
the atrocities of the past, in order to prevent them from
2:17:20
seeking life saving vaccines in the present.
2:17:23
Adam Curry: I mean, this is a conflagration of epic
2:17:26
proportions. It's really unbelievable. And part of the
2:17:31
problem is because that clip, and we haven't been able to
2:17:33
clean that clip up so you can actually hear what he said. But
2:17:36
he talked about studies that suggest and and, you know, and
2:17:42
medical and America's history with Bill Clinton had to
2:17:45
apologize for the Tuskegee experiments. But okay, let's go
2:17:51
to the next clip.
2:17:52
John C Dvorak: What was wrong with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Being
2:17:55
there today? I mean, why did it so angry you? Are Apollo you?
2:18:02
Unknown: I think that what's? Well, I think what's so
2:18:04
upsetting about my Republican colleagues is that they are
2:18:09
giving a platform to an individual who is spewing
2:18:14
conspiracy theories that are based on quasi science preys on
2:18:18
false information, who is trying to get individuals pitted
2:18:24
against one another who was trying to deny people life
2:18:27
saving information. We know that his group, his Children's
2:18:33
Defense Group, were the ones who spread information in Minnesota,
2:18:38
which led to a rash of measles outbreak among the Somali
2:18:42
community because they believe that those vaccines were in fact
2:18:46
harmful to them. These are the kinds of things that Robert F
2:18:49
Kennedy Jr is doing. And he's using his family's name as a
2:18:54
shield to be able to reach him and let individuals know that
2:19:00
this is not who his father was. This is not who his uncles were,
2:19:03
and we need to stop giving him the credibility that they had
2:19:07
because this guy is not he's not safe for the American people's
2:19:14
the things that he says is going to get us all in trouble.
2:19:17
Adam Curry: He's not safe he's not brand safe for the American
2:19:21
people. Now taking into account we believe that Bobby The Kay is
2:19:25
an OP Bobby The up by the CIA. What better place to have Miss
2:19:31
Plaskett on then former CIA employee Anderson Cooper to keep
2:19:37
running the test the stress test will Bobby the RP a boy
2:19:42
John C Dvorak: what happens what happens with the stress tests
2:19:44
you get new information comes to light you should and so now they
2:19:48
have to deal with this Somalia measles outbreak so let's put
2:19:53
that on the list of things to fix. And we have one more clip I
2:19:57
want to play another part of the hearing where you called out
2:19:59
your and colleagues for inviting him.
2:20:04
Unknown: They intentionally chose to elevate this rhetoric
2:20:06
to give these harmful dangerous views a platform in the halls of
2:20:10
the United States Congress.
2:20:11
Adam Curry: I mean, she is obviously reading let's just
2:20:14
let's just call it what it is. She's this is not an outrage
2:20:17
person who has something to say she's an actor.
2:20:21
Unknown: That's endorsing that speech. That's not just
2:20:25
supporting free speech. They have co signed on idiotic,
2:20:31
bigoted messaging.
2:20:34
John C Dvorak: He's also obviously running for president,
2:20:37
how much of that plays into why you think he was invited there
2:20:39
today?
2:20:42
Unknown: Well, we know that Chairman Jordan, my colleague,
2:20:45
who I sit next to the chairman, gets his marching orders from
2:20:49
Mark Meadows from Donald Trump, potentially from Speaker
2:20:54
McCarthy, I don't think he has much say, and what happens in
2:20:57
his conference. But those are the individuals who are
2:20:59
determining that this committee should be used to test run every
2:21:04
conspiracy theory that's going to be used in the 2024.
2:21:08
Adam Curry: Notice how she uses the term test run. And that
