0:10
Unknown: This is no agenda
0:13
Adam Curry: back in the lowlands
and broadcasting live parallel
0:16
to runway two, seven and
Schiphol Airport in the
0:19
Netherlands in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry,
0:22
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where I can tell
0:25
that the sheep pole connection
ain't what it used to be. I'm
0:28
Jhansi Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
0:33
Adam Curry: Oh, is it a bad
connection?
0:35
John C Dvorak: It's not a good
one. Oh, it's okay. If you can
0:37
hear me. I can hear you. Yeah,
you sound great.
0:40
Adam Curry: Good. Oh, so it's
cracking up. It's messing up.
0:43
John C Dvorak: cracks up on on
modulation. Oh, so what I'm
0:47
excited, you me? Know is when
you're playing it loud clip.
0:51
Adam Curry: Okay, well, I'll try
to back it off a little bit just
0:54
for you. Sorry.
0:56
John C Dvorak: I can make them
so as the recording is good. I
0:58
just use
0:59
Adam Curry: you. You my friend.
You sound you sound. Fabulous. I
1:03
apologize. So I we got up early,
because you know,
1:10
John C Dvorak: well, you better
preface it because there's an
1:12
Amsterdam. How about that?
You're an Amsterdam, and we're
1:15
supposed to start an hour early.
But we started a half hour
1:17
early.
1:18
Adam Curry: Yes. Yeah. Oh, 20
minutes later than we should
1:22
have started. I'm telling you,
this was completely my mistake.
1:27
We I thought we had discussed,
like, no, maybe we'll do an hour
1:30
early and we really hadn't
finalized it. Now. Normally, I
1:35
always proofread the newsletter.
I was with my sister last night
1:39
we're having dinner. And the
newsletter comes in and I'm
1:42
like, I'm not gonna do that. And
Tina, Tina was like, screw that
1:46
old guy. No way. Don't do the
newsletter. And I forgot about
1:50
it. And then I never read that
we were starting an hour early.
1:53
You see I made it her fault
somehow was pretty good. So So
1:56
we're sitting downstairs, I'd
been ready for an hour and a
1:59
half. We said now we can have a
nice dinner because I won't be
2:02
done until midnight. So we'll
we'll eat together. And and I
2:07
just ordered coffee and Tina
goes Hey, Twitter's on fire.
2:13
Everyone's expecting like, Oh,
okay. So brought the coffee
2:20
upstairs and got started right
away. I'm sorry. That was
2:23
completely my fault.
2:24
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was. Ah,
so here we are. Although I could
2:27
have sent out, you know, just a
friendly reminder, which I
2:30
should have done but I didn't
see the need and now and
2:33
carelessness. Yes.
2:34
Adam Curry: My my fault on my
part to Tina said You know, if
2:37
it were me, I would have double
checked and said just to make
2:40
sure said yes. I know. By the
way she has packed like Tetris
2:43
this trip. She's so good at it.
2:46
John C Dvorak: Everywhere.
That's what yeah, that's what
2:48
she has to keep. Exactly.
Exactly. As good as keeping time
2:53
though.
2:54
Adam Curry: So yeah, the
internet is not what it used to
2:56
be. I guess. It's not it's not
as great. I don't think so. No,
3:00
it's not as great as it was. Why
is that? So
3:06
John C Dvorak: anyway, because
war stories from the flight,
3:09
Adam Curry: you know, I wish I
could give you real warst I have
3:12
a very brief travel report, but
it was actually kind of smooth
3:16
San Antonio is where we left.
San Antonio hands down. A
3:22
million times better than than
Austin, first of all, from San
3:26
Antonio. And it's not Austin.
Now better pie was on the
3:30
lookout for the facial
recognition that everyone's been
3:33
talking about. Never happened.
No, it's definitely there. But
3:37
it's really sly it they got so
they have the cameras down below
3:41
mounted on the TSA kiosk
pointing up. But there's
3:45
supposed to be a sign that says
you can opt out there was none
3:48
of that. I did not make any
trouble but I took note of it.
3:54
So then we everything goes I
wasn't
3:58
John C Dvorak: sure to stop them
in their tracks. What is this
4:01
vacation I
4:01
Adam Curry: don't want to be a
troublemaker I want to get
4:03
there. The I have the new road
kit, everything you know, and I
4:08
have it set up and now I just
I'm very I'm able to quickly
4:11
take everything out and put it
in 18 bins, really it's about
4:14
seven bins. So they didn't no
hassle. They didn't you know,
4:18
check my bag because there's
nothing in it basically. So the
4:22
new process that's all working.
We fly to Detroit because that's
4:26
how we're gonna get there is
through by Yeah, I I I've been I
4:30
used to have Chrysler as a
client in Detroit. Back in the
4:34
thick new ideas days and I've
been to that airport a lot and
4:37
as we're walking through, and
yes, the airport
4:41
John C Dvorak: has got a subway
that goes through the airport.
4:45
Adam Curry: Yes. Yes. They have
a subway in the airport. And I
4:49
was thinking you know, ma'am,
they're really ruining our great
4:53
American aviation system. You
know, because I it's Detroit is
4:57
one of those places where you
fly through it to get to some
4:59
other desk destination can you
just know that all these delays
5:03
and then your lack of pilots and
cabin crew and it kind of took
5:07
me back to the days when you
just you know you you had your
5:11
your your driver drop you off at
curbside 20 minutes before the
5:14
flight would leave, you throw
your keys into the little bin
5:17
you know you go through the
metal detector, there was no
5:21
issues with anything there
wasn't even screen your bags.
5:24
There was no bag screening I
don't even think at the time.
5:27
You know, just put your coins
into the little basket and you
5:30
grab them and you ran to the
gate you got on there's no TSA
5:33
now that bull crap. When I was a
kid, then it was it just I don't
5:38
know I had this just weird
reminiscing feeling about me
5:41
about just how easy and it just
used to work you know now you
5:45
see everyone unhappy. And
there's delays everywhere. It's
5:48
just it's ruined the whole
coolness of our air
5:52
transportation system is ruined.
You don't fly
5:56
John C Dvorak: thanks to eight
holes effects like this shoe
5:59
bomber. Yeah. The assholes who
kept hijacking planes to Cuba if
6:05
you remember that
6:06
Adam Curry: era. That was before
my time I wasn't part of the of
6:09
the Cuban hijacking. But even
then, after that we did you know
6:14
that's when we got the metal
detectors, but you didn't have
6:16
to take your shoes off. You
didn't have to put your bags. I
6:19
think there might have been at a
certain point they might have
6:24
had some kind of minor X ray
thing that you threw your bag
6:28
through but they never they say
oh hold on a sec. I didn't get a
6:31
good thing and they just put it
back in again. Now you're good
6:33
to go. They might want you if
you went off in the metal
6:36
detector. None of this go back.
Take your belt off take your
6:39
take your shoe the your your
watch. I take all that stuff
6:42
off. It's just kind of ruined
anyway. To make matters worse,
6:46
so we're we are on Delta from
Detroit to Amsterdam. And you
6:51
know, you stand in the line.
It's like a you need to
6:54
John C Dvorak: watch a weird
flight. Where are you going,
6:57
Dale, I'm going to Amsterdam
from Detroit.
7:00
Adam Curry: It's a cheap flight
is what that is. And then you
7:04
get that ladies and gentlemen,
please, if you came here going
7:06
to Amsterdam, you have to have
your passport in your hand. If
7:09
your passports not in your hand,
you will not be allowed to mine.
7:12
Okay, we got a passport and a
boarding cards. And you walk up
7:17
and there's a guy just stand
there says Look at that. Look at
7:20
that. Look at the camera. And
you look in the camera and
7:22
flash. I mean there's no flash
but the screen goes zip. And
7:26
then the little circle and
there's your head and you get a
7:28
green checkmark. And that's it.
They didn't look at your ticket
7:30
didn't look at my passport,
anything. So they already had me
7:34
facial recognition ized
7:35
John C Dvorak: or not. And that
was my guess he
7:40
Adam Curry: went fast. No and
had your name there too. We went
7:44
boom. Adam curry
7:46
John C Dvorak: go when they
taught when they took a picture
7:47
of you said Adam curry after the
picture. No one's
7:50
Adam Curry: taking a picture.
There's a screen that's about
7:54
John C Dvorak: your head it says
Adam curry it's so it sees your
7:57
shoulder because it took the
same picture of you down below
8:00
at the beginning. Remember?
8:01
Adam Curry: Well, that was in
but that was in Santa beginning
8:04
of your flight. Yeah. So So
you're telling me Yeah, but Dan
8:06
Antonio of the TSA put that into
the system?
8:10
John C Dvorak: Has to what I was
would they have your picture
8:12
with Adam curry name?
8:14
Adam Curry: From my prison
record? I don't know. Um,
8:18
John C Dvorak: there's no other
way that I can think of. Well,
8:22
and why not? It's just a
network. Just the internet.
8:25
Adam Curry: Come on. This stuff
never works. Try try re booking
8:28
your flight. They don't like
8:30
John C Dvorak: the fact that it
worked at that point 100
8:35
million. I'm just saying that as
possible. That what that is that
8:41
your picture in San Antonio,
which were they associated with
8:44
Adam curry? Is the say is how
it? No, I gave the name Adam
8:49
curry when you got to Detroit. I
8:50
Adam Curry: think when we hear
here's what I'm thinking when we
8:53
checked in, in San Antonio. I
think then they scan the
8:57
passport picture. That's how I
think it works. And that good.
9:02
So that's in the I don't think
the TSA system is connected. It
9:05
feels okay. Well, when that
would make more sense. Even
9:09
that's amazing that it works in
today's ABS amazing. Anything
9:12
John C Dvorak: works. I agree.
It's amazing.
9:13
Adam Curry: I can talk to you
from Amsterdam on this
9:15
connection. Oh, that's amazing.
So then here's the good part.
9:21
Friends of ours who have pool
and influence in the Netherlands
9:25
arrange for the VIP arrival.
This is the coolest thing ever.
9:32
Oh, so you you walk out of the
plane and you go up to halfway
9:36
up the the jetway and there's a
lady with a nice business suit
9:41
on Mr. Mrs. Curry. Yes.
9:44
John C Dvorak: Did they did she
didn't have a sign or anything.
9:46
She just
9:47
Adam Curry: No. spotted me
spotted me right away. Mr. Mrs.
9:50
Curry. Yes. I'm here from the
VIP center, or the VIP center or
9:55
dip center, VIP, the VIP, the
VIP, the VIP VIP VIP Yeah, they
10:00
called VIP VIP Center. I'm here
from the VIP center. Okay, come
10:05
with me. And so she opens the
door on the jetway opens up and
10:09
put this a little staircase. You
go dassanayake, basically
10:12
underneath the nose of the
aircraft. And there's an Audi
10:16
limousine, like, I don't know.
Like, it looks like a like an
10:20
eight. But it's a limo verse
stretch out, stretch Audi, and
10:25
we get in and it smells new,
like Corinthian leather. And we
10:29
just were driving around the air
side of the airport, and then
10:32
she pulls up. And there's all
these other people like, hello,
10:35
and they're on uniforms, you
know, like, white shoes, black,
10:39
black pants, and just you know,
uniform was dolled up. Okay,
10:43
let's dolled up and there's and
there's a customs guy, you know,
10:47
and in the Netherlands, the
customs are military.
10:50
John C Dvorak: So he was
straight so that this just took
10:52
you to us to a private customs.
Yeah,
10:54
Adam Curry: private customs. And
the guy was teaching to chunk
10:56
passport. You go up the
elevator, you go through this,
11:00
like
11:00
John C Dvorak: getting off a
private Yes, exactly.
11:03
Adam Curry: This is what the
king and queen do. And
11:06
John C Dvorak: you gotta set me
up for that I'm going down. So
11:09
I'm just visiting this,
11:11
Adam Curry: this VIP Center,
this is ripped and has your
11:13
crown jewels behind glass and
all the royal family. You know,
11:17
my girl makishima The queen who
hair flipped me. It's got, you
11:22
know, beautiful pieces of art.
There's huge antique books, it's
11:27
all there's all these different
rooms and we go into the canal
11:30
house room, which is like a
little suite with a TV and a
11:33
breakfast table and couches. And
they say oh, what can we get up?
11:37
You get some breakfast and I'm
here we're ordering breakfast.
11:40
That which is all you know, they
even do the breakfast with the
11:43
with a gold paint on the you
know, like the gold stuff on the
11:47
plate. So you get french toast
and cold
11:51
John C Dvorak: stuff. You know,
I met this place and they had
11:55
gold stuff on the plate. But she
has moved from Texas.
12:00
Adam Curry: What do you call it?
What chefs do what chefs do on
12:03
when they live in a fancy
restaurant they you know they
12:05
put little gold flakes and they
smeared out old leaf golf leaf
12:09
gold stuff. Gold leaf gold leaf
on my french toast and and then
12:16
to my shit Do you need to do you
need our claim checks? No, no,
12:20
no, it's all in the system will
take care of it for you. And
12:23
then a certain point it's like
and whenever you're ready, you
12:25
know you'd luggage is
downstairs. And so we mosey on
12:30
down after about an hour.
12:32
John C Dvorak: I'd be a little
better on the on the outbound.
12:34
Do you have that?
12:37
Adam Curry: I don't know if we
get lucky that way. But it was
12:40
fantastic. And then we're
literally across the street in
12:44
the airport hotel was kind of
funny. No, but that was funny.
12:49
That was fantastic. That was the
best part. The best part for
12:53
sure.
12:54
John C Dvorak: So so so good to
have friend JC faces. JC and
12:58
Jesse went to Hawaii. Wow. So I
asked him I said I gotta have a
13:02
story, some sort of an airport
story that compete with curry
13:05
here. And he didn't have one
except for the fact that I guess
13:09
there was some guy on the plane
who they dosed up with Ambien
13:13
and he started sleepwalking.
Yeah.
13:18
Adam Curry: Oh, no.
13:19
John C Dvorak: And they had to
did took the whole crew to
13:21
subdue him and then tie him into
the seat. And as soon as they
13:24
strapped him in, he felt dead
asleep. And he didn't wake up
13:27
the whole time they put the
13:28
Adam Curry: gaffer tape around
him. I've seen that like no,
13:30
John C Dvorak: they didn't have
to because he conked out wow.
13:33
It's Ambien. They said it was
Ambien
13:36
Adam Curry: probably had Ambien
with a little glass of alcohol,
13:39
John C Dvorak: or something. Who
knows? But it's a pretty good
13:41
story. These drugs are no good
13:43
Adam Curry: now about about
Hawaii and about Maui
13:45
specifically. So we got several
pieces of email that people
13:50
thought we were huge dicks.
13:52
John C Dvorak: Was they thought
you were in particular? Well, I
13:55
Adam Curry: got a couple that
said you were in particular, but
13:58
it doesn't matter. I mean, we
were making a point about
14:00
something that we only had
historical information on. And
14:04
yeah, this happens a lot. Yeah.
And if you're coming at it from
14:08
a Oh, look at all the people
that are dead that we're just
14:10
finding about now. I mean, are
eight hours before that? We
14:15
weren't quite
14:15
John C Dvorak: here. Here's what
we were talking about the
14:17
following. How did this happen?
Yeah, exactly. And it's not
14:22
global warming and the whole
town burned to the ground. And
14:25
then there was no alerts and no
you all you do all the news
14:28
stories say the same thing.
Nobody said anything. We didn't
14:30
even get a beep on our phone. So
you have a bunch of dead people.
14:34
This thing was a disaster. How
does it town and complete town
14:37
like this? burned to the ground?
Well, I have it and they're on
14:42
the water. Yes. Then you look
along the shore and there's a
14:47
bunch of cars burnt to a crisp,
five feet from the ocean.
14:52
Adam Curry: So first of all, we
were not intentionally being
14:55
insensitive because when people
are like, I can't believe you
14:57
did that. Well, you can because
we won't Looking at it from
15:00
historical perspective,
15:02
John C Dvorak: we're not gonna
make excuses. Every year,
15:05
Adam Curry: I am gonna make some
history every year or so this
15:07
happens. But this was different.
And we do have some good boots
15:11
on the ground reports and the
best one is from Dustin. And so
15:21
if you look online, the
conspiracy theories are better
15:24
than I could have ever even come
up with. We have directed energy
15:28
weapons,
15:29
John C Dvorak: we just was
expecting that one. But that's
15:32
not
15:33
Adam Curry: what happened. We
but there is some. I think
15:37
there's some credence to some of
the thinking that's out there, I
15:39
have to tick tock clips just to
give you an idea of the kind of
15:42
stuff that I was being sent. So
today
15:44
Unknown: we're gonna give a
little update on the Hawaiian
15:46
fires. Now I want you to look at
this footage, and this surely
15:49
doesn't look like a fire to me.
It looks like something almost
15:52
exploded or something went off.
15:54
Adam Curry: And this this
footage looks very much like
15:57
that Northern California footage
that was started by Cydia
16:01
paradise paradise. Thank you, it
looks very much like that. Just
16:05
incinerated. And then there's a
tree, which is perfectly fine,
16:09
you know. So these are very
weird things. Now, what's
16:12
Unknown: interesting is certain
things are still standing while
16:14
other things are not now the
Governor did say this is climate
16:16
change doing this. Interesting.
What they don't talk about is in
16:19
January, how they had in Maui, a
smart city conference to turn
16:24
Maui into an entire smart
Island.
16:27
Adam Curry: This is true that
there is and I think that is an
16:30
interesting point, but not quite
the directed energy weapons
16:34
level yet
16:35
Unknown: changing everything to
electric renewables, solar
16:39
panels and pushing everybody
into electric vehicles. 15
16:43
minutes smart cities. So now
what's also interesting is next
16:46
month in September, Hawaii is
hosting the Digital Government
16:49
Summit, utilizing AI to govern
the island.
16:54
Adam Curry: We've gone off track
here, people,
16:57
Unknown: it's almost like
they're resetting something to
16:59
start rebuilding for this in
which they're trying to push.
17:02
Now when we look at all the
climate change narrative that
17:04
they're going to try to push but
they're not going to talk about
17:06
the weather modification act of
1970. I only recommend everybody
17:11
look into this act, because who
is involved in the weather
17:14
modification activities,
Department of Agriculture,
17:18
Department of Defense Department
of Interior, EPA and NASA. Okay,
17:21
so
17:22
Adam Curry: this guy goes on.
It's like they modified the
17:24
weather to ruin Maui. All right,
then we get the TIC tock girl,
17:27
Unknown: I have been trapped in
line for the last four days. And
17:30
I experienced firsthand what was
going on. What I went through is
17:36
not important. I need to discuss
it. This was not a natural
17:41
disaster. This was a direct
attack on the people and the
17:47
place of knowledge. As you know,
what lives their descendants
17:53
lived there. You know why? And
you know why it happened on
17:56
eighth? This is not something
that you believe it's time to
18:00
stop being.
18:02
Adam Curry: Yeah, okay. Now, a
couple of data points. It is
18:06
absolutely true that there are a
lot of very wealthy, some famous
18:11
elite people who have big
homesteads in Maui. And for a
18:15
long time, there's been Native
Hawaiians who have not want to
18:20
give up their land they didn't
want to sell out to them. This
18:23
town is very historic town. And
this is where Dustin comes in
18:27
with his boots on the ground.
Behind la Lahaina, I think it's
18:32
I pronounce it says he's been
there in Maui for 14 years. He's
18:36
absolutely your analysis on
Thursday the fires in Maui
18:39
having nothing to do with
climate change completely spot
18:41
on. Here's the background which
I think is interesting. The
18:46
background were the worst case
Lahaina
18:48
John C Dvorak: by the way.
18:49
Adam Curry: The hyena behind the
area where the worst fires took
18:54
place, the west coast of Maui,
specifically the town of
18:56
Lahaina, the town is located on
the very western edge of the
19:00
island in the shadow of the West
Maui Mountains, which block
19:03
almost all of the moisture that
comes from the east. This is a
19:06
hot, dry desert almost all year
long. The town of Lahaina was
19:10
once the capital of Hawaii and
when the Hawaiian royal family
19:13
lived there. That was the mid
1800s. They would spend their
19:16
summers in the nearby olowalu
area because it was just too hot
19:20
to be in this town. The word
Lahaina roughly translated to
19:24
English means the unrelenting
sun, so this has been a hot dry
19:27
place for hundreds if not 1000s
of years. In the mid 1800s,
19:32
early 1900s Lahaina became a hub
for sugarcane production behind
19:35
the harbor became a center for
whaling and the whaling
19:38
industry. Hundreds of wooden
homes were built to house
19:41
whalers and sugarcane workers,
and many more large wooden
19:45
structures were built along the
world famous Front Street and
19:48
use the stores, restaurants and
hotels to supply the town. Fast
19:52
forward to present day behind as
a busy tourist destination. All
19:56
those old wooden buildings built
before modern building codes are
19:59
now Historic Landmarks cannot be
upgraded or changed by the new
20:03
owners due to permitting
restrictions. buildings were
20:06
built very close together
without any modern fire
20:09
mitigation measurements and
measures and located in a part
20:13
of the island that is surrounded
by hundreds of acres of dry
20:15
grassland, and has wildfires as
you mentioned on the show every
20:20
single summer season. A few days
ago, there was a hurricane that
20:25
passed to the south of Maui. Now
we know that that was about 500
20:29
miles away, but they did have 60
plus mile an hour winds on the
20:32
West Coast, which toppled power
lines in the dry grassland just
20:36
outside of town igniting them.
Let me reiterate, this happens
20:40
every year at this time, but
this year, the fires just
20:43
happened to be a little too
close to town and the addition
20:46
of the hurricane force blowing
in the direction of the old
20:48
wooden homes and stores is
enough to burn the entire town
20:51
of Lahaina to the ground almost
immediately. I think this is
20:57
exactly what happened. But there
probably was not a huge
21:01
incentive on the island. And
they probably been maybe even
21:06
waiting for this like one of
these piece of crap things going
21:09
to burn down. Because this is
gold, this is gold. And I also
21:15
think by throwing in the
hurricane, maybe we get some
21:18
kind of force majeure. You know,
insurance companies like I you
21:22
know, this is, this is an act of
God may get off the hook. They
21:27
may they may that that's why I
think this being played up so
21:30
much. But this is going to be
Dustin says he thinks the death
21:34
toll may be in the 1000
21:36
John C Dvorak: i Well, there's
only 1000 people missing, so
21:39
it's not gonna get into 1000s.
And we could get up to 1000
21:43
Unknown: up to 1000. But
21:46
John C Dvorak: I'm in total
agreement with this. Yeah, they
21:48
have this place was one of those
places that did great for
21:52
tourists. I mean, I love going
into these old rickety old
21:56
towns, the old wild west. And
you go in there and you can shop
22:00
and there's all these cute
little places and and meanwhile
22:03
the developers are looking you
know the smacking their lips.
22:07
This is no good. I mean, we
can't do it. Look, can we can we
22:10
care to have these old buildings
down maybe and build something?
22:13
No. So here's okay. Okay, fine,
fine, fine. And I think that may
22:18
account for the fed and well I
don't know if it did anybody any
22:21
good not to warn anybody because
they weren't going to stop the
22:23
fire anyway. But there was no
mitigation whatsoever. His day
22:28
are on the water. One tick one
pumper boat.
22:32
Adam Curry: Listen, Dame Jessie
boots on the ground. Fire
22:36
started in the morning, she's
there in Maui Fire Department
22:39
claimed it to be 100% contained,
and left left with the huge
22:44
winds blowing. I drove the road
where it restarted around noon,
22:48
and there was no fire at the
time. anonymously, my husband
22:53
Oh, okay. So and honestly, I
can't say that, I guess, let's
22:57
just say there was a water truck
sent to the site that was turned
22:59
back. She feels his whole
apocalypse of Maui could have
23:05
been completely avoided. And
there will be big lawsuits, the
23:08
older fire chiefs all retired in
the last couple of years. And
23:12
the new ones are all budget
conscious to one water truck,
23:16
which might have cost a couple
$1,000 would have stopped this.
23:23
So I'm thinking that exactly
John that knows like me, you
23:27
know, it's time to redevelop
this thing now, did they
23:31
consider that this was like a
box of matches that it will just
23:35
go up like that. And I can
imagine that if the ground is
23:38
dry. And it's all wooden
structures all built next to
23:40
each other that can go fast fire
can go very fast,
23:44
John C Dvorak: especially with
old wooden buildings. And so I'm
23:47
fan that that first note about
the buildings being a bunch of
23:51
old, you know, pieces of junk
basically, ready to go at the
23:57
drop of a hat that towel could
it burn to the ground at any
24:00
time.
24:00
Adam Curry: And I'm thinking
that because it came so quickly
24:03
and you saw the laser beams from
the sky pictures everywhere,
24:08
which turns out to the time
lapse launch from a rocket from
24:12
Vandenberg. I think I have half
a mind now that this was
24:16
launched into the ether just to
you know, to put it out to all
24:20
that's a crazy conspiracy theory
about the elites wanting it to
24:23
burn to the ground where they
probably did. But let's just
24:27
throw some directed energy
weapons stuff into the mix. And
24:31
then everyone will say it's a
conspiracy theory and won't have
24:34
to talk about it anymore.
24:35
John C Dvorak: I think there's
like $1.7 billion with a tourism
24:38
in that town. It's 1.327 I can't
remember the exact number, which
24:43
is about something like a lot of
Hawaii's told tourist industry.
24:48
So it's over a billion dollars
in tourism in that in that
24:52
island. Yeah, they figured they
can double that if they get rid
24:55
of that if they rebuild. What
modern tourists want modern
24:59
tourists are not like you and I
who like maybe really do like
25:03
going through walking around
25:04
Adam Curry: the old town. Yeah,
of course we love that. No
25:07
John C Dvorak: monitors that
they like they don't mind if
25:10
it's a little slicker a little
nicer a little more like
25:13
Disneyland Right?
25:14
Unknown: Exactly.
25:16
John C Dvorak: And I think that
they this is this is not they'll
25:20
never This is unsolvable as a
mystery it's just you can't keep
25:24
doing it you can't find the guy
that the match but
25:26
Adam Curry: well according to
Dustin it was the the winds that
25:30
blew that happens every single
year except this year. They
25:33
thought stop it. They said they
had it contained and they didn't
25:36
and they didn't have any they
hadn't. They weren't prepared.
25:39
Now, is that gonna
25:40
John C Dvorak: be just could be
a confluence of idiots. That's
25:43
always possible. Yeah. Yeah.
25:46
Adam Curry: So And believe me,
I'm the first guy to want it to
25:49
be a directed energy weapon. If
you know that. Oh, yeah. And I'm
25:53
looking at these pictures like
and then have the green lasers
25:58
from space that happened just a
few weeks ago. Yeah,
26:02
John C Dvorak: that's a good
one.
26:03
Adam Curry: Well, the green
space they aren't measuring
26:06
stuff. That's that's probably
26:07
John C Dvorak: I don't have any
clips from the Maui store. I
26:09
think we've beat it up there. I
think that covers us pretty much
26:12
but I do have since you're
talking about crazy stuff. I
26:15
have to I'm bringing these clips
and these are clips that are
26:19
there. They're almost a month
old. But but they're they're
26:24
Alex Jones Jones clips. And the
reason I'm bringing them up
26:29
because I just want to make a
point to people out there who
26:31
are podcasters or podcast
wannabes or everyone when has
26:35
the podcast. This is not Alex on
his show. This is Alex on that
26:40
show that value tainment group
26:43
Adam Curry: pet Patrick bett
Patrick Davis, what does it
26:46
John C Dvorak: do? And he's just
he's got three guys and it's a
26:50
well produced show in terms of
the quality of the sound that's
26:53
for sure. Patrick Davis that's
it. But the reason I want to
26:57
play this is because I have to
say we don't play Alex Jones
27:01
clips much. But when we when he
goes on somebody else's show.
27:08
Yeah, he brings it. Yes, he
does. He does it on Rogen. He
27:14
wherever he goes that people
should do they go You're right.
27:17
Alex Jones. No, you should bring
him on. And here's the I've got
27:21
three clips and these clips are
just unbelievable. Let's start
27:26
with AJ on on Biden.
27:29
Adam Curry: Yeah, I thought Hold
on a second. AJ Biden, sorry,
27:33
here we go.
27:34
Unknown: They're getting ready
to take out the garbage with
27:36
Biden. I think they'll probably
kill him. Or he'll die honestly.
27:39
Hold on some stairs or be
drugged or whatever, or or at
27:43
least be in a coma very soon.
And I've got very high level
27:47
sources that are there. You got
people Dougie, the Democratic
27:50
Party. Roger stones totally
dialed and he was on my show
27:53
yesterday. And he said they're
crazy enough that they're
27:56
thinking that's what Democrats
are saying right now. Okay. Big
27:59
Mike. Michelle Obama. Hey,
that's my line. And then VP
28:04
Newsom or Newsom. But Obama is
he's the real President right
28:08
now. And he'll third term
elected we have a video. He he's
28:12
now coming back out and saying
I'm involved and I'll see how
28:14
they're getting ready to get rid
of Biden. That's the only reason
28:16
those reporters are on a leash.
None of them ever asked question
28:19
for two and a half years
suddenly they're all attacking.
28:21
Yep, it's because they've been
let off the leash because Biden
28:24
was supposed to like he said
right before he's
28:26
Adam Curry: I love it how this
guy's going yep, yep. Yeah,
28:30
right on Yeah.
28:31
Unknown: won the election.
Remember? He said, Well, if I
28:34
don't do what I'm told the I'll
probably just develop some rare
28:37
disease and resign. Yep, he said
it multiple times. Letting them
28:42
know, man Well, he's still his
brain was still there remember
28:45
the deals then? But according to
Roger Stone, other sources
28:48
Rogers dead on. He's He's hangs
out with he talks to some of the
28:52
high level Democrats. Bullshit.
Joe Biden is telling him Don't
28:55
leave. She likes the power and,
and he's he's told him eff off.
28:59
Adam Curry: Alright, hold on.
Now, before you move on with AJ
29:01
clips. Tina and I were just
discussing a new version of my
29:06
theory. I wasn't even going to
bring this up. But now I need to
29:09
bring it up. Because what I'm
seeing ever since. Oh, let me
29:14
laugh first, as you're gonna
love this. You're gonna love
29:17
this. I agree with Alex Jones.
Biden is no way you gotta say
29:22
yep. Yeah, Biden's toast. Yep,
he's out. So the I mean, they've
29:26
got the special counsel. I'm
sure you have clips. I got
29:29
clips. We got that. Yeah, short
counsel. I got that. But what's
29:33
happening is this Obama gay
thing is catching fire. The
29:37
Telegraph. Everyone's you know,
this book that's been out
29:40
forever. Now all of a sudden,
it's like it's just not news.
29:43
No, I know. It's not news.
29:46
John C Dvorak: We do remember
this. Newsweek actually came out
29:50
with an edition of Newsweek that
said our first gate President
29:53
Obama, yes.
29:54
Adam Curry: But wait, because
I'm adjusting my theory. I think
29:59
so. The Democratic Party who the
heck knows who's running what, I
30:03
think we have multiple factions
inside the Democratic Party. And
30:07
there's one and there's the
crazy trans Maoist faction. You
30:12
know, the ones who have three
trans kids, and they're and
30:16
they've all gotten together and
said, This is our chance. This
30:19
is it. We've got to ease America
into it. We've got to let them
30:24
know Obama's gay. And then boom,
Big Mike 2024 first trans black
30:29
president.
30:32
John C Dvorak: This was a
logical conclusion that I knew
30:35
you would draw.
30:36
Adam Curry: Well, there it is.
I'm just putting it out there.
30:39
Okay,
30:39
John C Dvorak: it's out there.
It's out there. It's on the
30:41
record. At first I thought they
were trying
30:42
Adam Curry: to thwart Michelle
Obama by saying nah, by creating
30:47
controversy around her husband.
But now I'm these people are
30:52
crazy. They'll do it. Listen,
30:54
John C Dvorak: we know that you
know, what happened?
30:58
Adam Curry: Who knew we'd be
locked down? Who knew we would
31:00
have 1000s of children being
sterilized? I anything's on the
31:04
table for me.
31:06
John C Dvorak: With the 1000s of
kids being sterilized, that's
31:09
pretty interesting. And it's,
I'm gonna do the skip Biden
31:12
twofer. Now, that's the last
clip now, because AJ still
31:16
bringing it so here he is on
Trump.
31:19
Unknown: Yeah, I think I mean, I
think they're gonna demonize
31:21
even diamond diamond diamond dot
him. And then I I think they'll
31:24
blow their plane up. I really
got level is Trump. I mean, I
31:29
mean, I believe the deep state
establishment will murder him. I
31:32
mean, I believe he's gonna
steadfast go through all this.
31:35
You know, he'll be he'll be 30
points ahead in the primaries,
31:38
nothing's gonna stop him. And
then they just, you know, he
31:41
dies of a heart attack or they
poison him with a closer point
31:44
on the pricker.
31:46
Adam Curry: The pricker airline
and blowing up the airplane is
31:49
messy.
31:50
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is me.
I'm just saying this is just AJ,
31:55
you know, on somebody else's
show. He just goes nuts. And I
31:58
just thought this clip had to be
clipped. This is the last one of
32:01
the three. And it I just did
just a head shaker and just
32:05
hilarious. I was
32:07
Unknown: told by the NYPD and
Secret Service a year and a half
32:10
ago when he went remember he
kept showing up late and
32:12
changing clothes like three
times, though he gets mad when
32:15
he goes in these weird because
they get him on speed too much
32:19
to roll him out and hope it's
okay. And it's not now. But when
32:21
he gets mad, he takes a big dump
in his drawers. I'm serious.
32:25
Okay. He's got him saying My
butt's been wiped.
32:29
Adam Curry: He said he did say
can we Fact Check? Check. Okay,
32:37
yeah, he brings it but this is
alright. I wasn't gonna do this
32:40
until maybe second half of show.
But this is going to bring this
32:45
kind of talk is putting all of
us in danger in grave danger.
32:50
Because now we have the Southern
Poverty Law Center, going after
32:56
podcasts. At first it was just a
little you
33:00
John C Dvorak: know, little all
those mate loony. Oh, yeah, but
33:03
Adam Curry: this this is new
now. Because now there's this
33:05
outfit called Tech against
terrorism. It's an NGO. Oh,
33:11
yeah. It's an NGO funded by the
United Nations our own money.
33:16
And the most recent, most recent
episode is about podcasts.
33:24
Podcasts are really used by by
terrorists and extremists to
33:31
recruit and plan horrible
things. And when you listen,
33:35
well have a couple of short
clips when you listen to it.
33:39
That I think everyone's in
danger.
33:41
Unknown: This week we're
discussing the use of podcasts
33:43
by extremist actors are growing
unconcerned. And Trent
33:46
concerning over the last 10
years or so extremists have
33:49
increasingly been leveraging
podcasts as a platform to spread
33:52
their messages recruit followers
on network with like minded
33:56
individuals, extremist groups
and networks on the far right
33:59
have developed an alternative
media ecosystem that is
34:02
reinforcing and normalizing
hateful ideologies, fringe
34:05
ideas, and conspiracy theories.
And the ease of creating and
34:09
distributing audio content has
allowed these actors to
34:12
regularly produce material that
reaches a global audience and
34:16
amplifies their extremist
worldviews.
34:18
Adam Curry: Now, raise your hand
whenever you feel they're
34:20
talking about no agenda, no
agenda, nation. No agenda
34:25
social.com. Anytime you feel
that that might be talking about
34:28
us. Let's talk about the scope
of this research they have done
34:32
with the SPLC the southern
Southern Poverty Law Center Lady
34:35
California regulators have Oops,
that's not the right one. I'm
34:38
sorry. To be this one.
34:40
Unknown: Most of the podcasts
that we studied were produced by
34:44
organized groups, although some
more not, we tried to pick up
34:48
mix, right, right. And then some
of them were individual
34:52
vehicles, so but even those
podcasts tended to have
34:56
recurring guests or CO hosts
that they would bring Get in as
35:01
kind of semi regular cast
members, I guess. And then
35:05
ideologically, we again tried to
pick a mix of the different
35:08
flavors of hate and extremism.
So there were some
35:11
Adam Curry: different flavors of
hate and
35:13
Unknown: extremism, Neo
Confederate podcast or some neo
35:15
Nazi podcast, we had variety of
what used to be called the alt
35:20
right podcasts. Yeah, so just a
big mix there, some anti
35:25
government style podcasts. So we
had about 18 that we studied,
35:30
and there were, oh, gosh, I want
to say 900, and some different
35:35
cast members across this podcast
and several 1000 episodes that
35:40
they produced over a 14 year
period.
35:44
Adam Curry: Who's that? This is
Southern profit loss. And
35:47
they're like, no, no, I'm
35:47
John C Dvorak: saying who is the
35:49
Adam Curry: dude, they've got a
map. They've gotten like a map,
35:51
a huge little digger. She
35:53
John C Dvorak: said there was
1400 episodes, and they were
35:57
1000s of guests.
35:59
Adam Curry: Cast on us by the
last minute which cast members?
36:02
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we there's
no doubt about it. You're not
36:05
talking about us. All right.
Members, except for the two of
36:09
us. All right.
36:09
Adam Curry: Okay. So all right.
They're not talking
36:14
John C Dvorak: back it up a
little bit. I want to hear that
36:15
part of this. I want you to
podcast she's talking I want
36:18
let's move forward
36:19
Adam Curry: and you start
hearing it.
36:20
Unknown: I turn to Meghan to
learn what it is about podcast
36:22
specifically, that makes them
useful communication tool for
36:25
extremists.
36:26
Adam Curry: Mind you. All right.
I mean, we are not named
36:29
specifically. And they only have
a couple of like, not even
36:33
they're not even doing Steve
Bannon at this point. But they
36:36
have a map with all kinds of
dots and how they're all
36:39
connected. And Josh, yeah. Hey,
I've been on the Alex Jones
36:43
podcast, you have believe me?
We're connected as group.
36:49
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah.
36:51
Unknown: They're very low cost
to produce. So you basically
36:54
just need a microphone and some
recording software. You can
36:58
throw the file up and it'll get
scooped up, hopefully.
37:03
John C Dvorak: Throw it up in
the air file, and
37:04
Unknown: you're good to go. But
different podcasts, catchers and
37:08
then distributed to a pretty
wide audience. It's cross
37:12
platform, low skill, and wide
distribution. Those are pretty
37:16
magical features, if you're, you
know, if you're trying to
37:20
promote hatefully deals,
37:21
John C Dvorak: not a feature.
37:23
Adam Curry: But also we made it
that way. So everybody can
37:26
podcast lady. That was the whole
point.
37:28
Unknown: There's also a variety
of different platforms that they
37:31
can live on. So you're not sort
of hitching your wagon just to
37:35
Spotify or just Apple podcasts.
There's a wider distribution
37:38
network. And this is helpful if
you're trying to stay under the
37:42
radar. Have one or not get
content moderated. Right, like
37:45
you
37:45
John C Dvorak: stopped. Stop it
for one second. I have to
37:48
interrupt. Yeah.
37:50
Adam Curry: So people are
dangerous. I just want you know,
37:53
these
37:53
John C Dvorak: people know I,
you, we they've been dangerous
37:55
for a long time. Yeah. But let's
let's stop for a sec. What was
37:59
the year that you'd say? What
was your first what year? Was
38:03
the podcast first implemented? I
would say let's say the first
38:07
though, during your source code
era 3000. In fact, 2003 20 Wait
38:15
a minute.
38:16
Adam Curry: That's important to
note. That's when we started but
38:20
the first official daily source
code was launched on August 13.
38:26
Two day in 2004. But the the
experimentation was already
38:31
happening in 2003.
38:33
John C Dvorak: Okay, well, let's
start it. I'm going to go with
38:35
the 2003. Because it's a round
number because it's 2023. Yeah,
38:39
but it's okay to say 2014. So 19
years have passed was millions
38:47
of people putting up podcast and
all of a sudden after almost,
38:52
let's say, almost 20 years. They
do this?
38:58
Adam Curry: What you have to
understand first, these people
39:01
are morons and dangerous. So
they are just now discovering
39:06
that podcasts aren't only on
Spotify and Apple. They're like,
39:11
holy moly. There's people look
39:14
John C Dvorak: this podcast is
outside the Yes. Here
39:20
Adam Curry: are flying under the
radar with this stuff with wide
39:24
distribution that just throw a
file up in the air and boom
39:27
1000s of people have it
39:28
Unknown: hitching your wagon
just to Spotify or just Apple
39:31
podcasts. There's a wider
distribution network. And this
39:35
is helpful if you're trying to
stay under the radar of one or
39:38
not get content moderated right
like you if you just on YouTube,
39:42
or you're just on
39:43
Adam Curry: people have like
their own networks in there. And
39:45
they have their own cast
members, also known as producers
39:49
who are hosting these files and
it's outside of apple and
39:53
Spotify. Come on John here with
the ladies saying
39:57
Unknown: twitch or something
streaming your bulletins that
40:00
platform jump kick you off,
podcasts are a little looser,
40:03
loose. So you control the file
and how it gets recorded. And
40:07
then from there, it gets
distributed more broadly. So
40:10
there actually is. So, there
actually turns out to be a
40:19
pretty effective means of
building community and spreading
40:22
propaganda. Yes, propaganda
40:25
Adam Curry: and community now,
what kind of people are this?
40:28
What kind of, of individuals are
these? under the radar podcasts?
40:34
What kind of podcasts? Are
these? What's going on with
40:36
this?
40:36
Unknown: I asked Megan about the
ideologies promoted on these
40:39
extremist podcasts and OreImo.
Say your track. Yeah, just
40:42
John C Dvorak: stop it again.
When time is I? Because this is
40:45
so ridiculous. Who is this other
woman what it was? Did you get
40:49
this?
40:50
Adam Curry: This? This is the
tech against terrorism show. And
40:54
it's from an NGO named tech
against terrorism, which is,
40:59
John C Dvorak: which is a
podcast which has served
41:01
ironically, it's, well,
41:02
Adam Curry: they have a podcast,
been around for a while. Been a
41:06
real really ever since 2016. I
would say this is British chick.
41:10
She's the host of the show.
Okay, so she has two people on
41:14
from the Southern Poverty Law
Center. That's the other lady
41:17
and then you'll hear some
douchebag dude. So now she's
41:20
going to go into what kind of
podcasts are these? Who are
41:23
these these shadowy figures who
don't want to be on Spotify or
41:28
apple?
41:29
Unknown: I asked Megan about the
ideologies promoted on these
41:31
extremist
41:31
Adam Curry: ideologies, do they?
What ideologies do these
41:34
extremists have
41:35
Unknown: missed podcasts and the
audience they attract? There
41:38
were religious faiths podcast
was one that we looked at that
41:42
was Oh, no.
41:46
Adam Curry: Man, I picked a fine
time to be born again.
41:49
Unknown: Religious space podcast
was one that we looked at that
41:52
was Orthodox Christian, no,
caspo no
41:56
Adam Curry: Orthodox Christians.
Were there Russians, Ukrainians,
42:00
who are these Orthodox
Christians?
42:02
John C Dvorak: There's a bunch
of these.
42:04
Adam Curry: I've no I do know
that. I know God casters, I
42:08
mean, a lot of God casters in my
orbit
42:10
Unknown: in style podcast. There
was one that we looked at that
42:13
was a NEO Confederate, you know,
the South will rise against
42:17
actually we had at least two of
those in the set. It was an all
42:21
right podcast that was primarily
panels talking about the news.
42:27
There was a new boy Nazi podcast
that had a radio shock jock
42:32
sharp, John Matt, there was a
podcast that attempted to do
42:37
comedy and each of the guests or
hosts rather would have these
42:41
recurring characters that they
would play that were either
42:45
racist stereotypes and tropes,
or hey, I'm
42:48
Adam Curry: Zippy I'm a racist,
42:50
Unknown: or that kind of thing
trying to be funny. I mean,
42:52
really, it'd
42:53
Adam Curry: be funny. It sounds
like
42:55
John C Dvorak: we're doing the
Dana Carvey podcast, trying to
42:57
be funny,
42:59
Unknown: quite a variety of
different styles. And it was a
43:02
lot in generalities, I would say
it's mostly a male audience
43:08
right. And just like the groups
that we're setting in the in the
43:10
movements that we're studying
are typically male, although
43:13
I've written extensively and
others have to on women in these
43:17
movements, but it is typically
male. And then depending on you
43:20
ever
43:20
John C Dvorak: listen to Sophia
with an F, she's not call her
43:24
daddy or any of these No, man,
those sons of female based
43:29
podcasts, they're
43:30
Adam Curry: not the extremists.
You never listen
43:33
John C Dvorak: to them
43:34
Unknown: extensively, and others
have to on women in these
43:37
movements, but it is typically
male. And then depending on the
43:40
podcast, and depending on the
ideology that that podcast is
43:44
promoting. Some of them are
trends younger and some of them
43:48
trend older. It really just, it
really just depends. And then
43:51
there's some that fall right in
the middle and have a truly
43:53
mixed audience. So yeah, mostly
male. Mostly, what that's
43:57
probably not surprising, was,
you know, the podcasts that
44:00
we've chose for this sample were
largely white supremacy, you
44:03
know, white nationalist white
supremacist style podcasts. So
44:07
that is very surprising that
they, they tend to be white and
44:11
male and they just were mixed.
44:14
Adam Curry: white and male, old
and younger. Good. We're in the
44:17
sweet spot of this thing is
beautiful. Now, as I said,
44:22
they've discovered
44:23
John C Dvorak: they've
discovered now younger this
44:26
week. We're in the sweet spot.
44:28
Adam Curry: They've discovered
that you know, how does this
44:30
work? How did they get around
the content moderation, their
44:33
friends at Spotify, their
friends at Apple? Oh, how was
44:37
this being done? I think this is
the dude now comes the crack.
44:40
Unknown: Streamers podcast
distributed across the
44:42
internet's how are
44:43
Adam Curry: they distributed
across the internet, if they're
44:46
not working with big tech, which
we can then censor?
44:48
Unknown: I asked Bjorn so it's
really various. Some of the
44:52
podcasts are like open a
distributed tray like the main
44:56
distribution services wherever
you find your podcasts.
44:59
Adam Curry: Oh, Oh no, if you
say wherever you find your
45:01
podcasts, you might be an
extremist.
45:03
Unknown: People keep saying
podcasts, the problem of
45:07
podcasts of our is that you
don't have to distribute them
45:10
through a service like that,
like making it impossible to
45:14
watch
45:16
John C Dvorak: this guy, okay,
he's very affected
45:20
Unknown: service like that, like
making it impossible. So there
45:24
should be certain podcasts
through those services is
45:26
certainly good in terms of like
lowering the amount of
45:29
detection.
45:30
Adam Curry: But we're not being
detected.
45:32
Unknown: Podcasts are largely
kind of distributed through RSS
45:35
feeds. Anyone with a computer
can set up an RSS feed. And
45:41
that's the point spread to their
podcast, tree more subversion
45:46
ways. And so
45:50
John C Dvorak: you said
subversion
45:51
Adam Curry: reversers. So if you
just distribute via RSS, that's
45:55
versus that's more subversive
versus you know what he means
46:00
the
46:00
Unknown: more subverted ways and
so like, as we're talking about,
46:04
also content moderation and the
fediverse and more of
46:08
distribution, right at verse,
46:10
Adam Curry: verse, hello, no
agenda, social
46:13
Unknown: operation and the
Senate version more kind of
46:16
distributed in the Federated
Services, the syndication model,
46:19
Adam Curry: these people living
under a rock? No, they're living
46:22
on 100 million dollars of
Southern Poverty Law Center
46:25
money. That's that pile is so
heavy, they can't see the RSS
46:30
through the dollars
46:31
Unknown: versus the syndication
model of podcasts, being
46:34
distributed through RSS feeds is
really an interesting case study
46:39
as well in preparation for that.
And because of AdWords, the way
46:44
in which it's really left up to
the control of the individual.
46:49
Adam Curry: They have no
control, they have control.
46:52
John C Dvorak: They can't the
individual can control. Yes,
46:55
Adam Curry: this is this is what
they hate. They hate that we are
46:59
doing this ourselves. I'm not
gonna say they're
47:02
John C Dvorak: just gonna stop,
stop. I'm gonna stop. I don't
47:04
I'm not giving you a clip for
the day for this crap. But But I
47:10
am going to find a way to
nominate you for the Nobel Peace
47:15
Prize for for podcasts and 2.0.
So they can think I'm joking.
47:20
No,
47:20
Adam Curry: why, but why do I
deserve the I mean, I want the
47:23
peace prize. It would be nice.
But how do i Why am I deserving
47:26
of this?
47:27
John C Dvorak: Because
podcasting 2.0 Yes. For saw.
47:32
Yes. The clips you're playing
right now. Yeah. And created a
47:36
secondary, kind of a backup
system extremist tech podcast
47:40
and for the rest of the rest of
the days.
47:43
Adam Curry: Yes, extremist
terrorist outfit,
47:47
John C Dvorak: but you will get
you well, you know, that's up to
47:50
people want to find extremist
stuff, they'll find it this got
47:54
nothing to do with podcasting
2.0 or anything else? No, of
47:57
Adam Curry: course not. Well,
they are however, they, you
48:00
know, they, it's a big problem
for this, even though they have
48:03
hundreds of millions of dollars.
It's a real big problem
48:06
detecting all of these things.
Because you know, it's a lot of
48:09
podcasts, you have to you got to
sift through 1000s of episodes.
48:13
But
48:13
Unknown: all the detection
software has largely been
48:16
focused on music because a
copyright enforcement and so
48:19
there are elements of software
out there that is useful for
48:23
that and can be used for things
like automatic detection of
48:26
jingles are common across from a
tech perspective, discovering
48:33
what people are actually saying
in all your competence is a
48:38
challenge.
48:39
Adam Curry: So it's still a
challenge, even though
48:41
podcasting 2.0 literally has
made it so that you can now go
48:45
to bing.io. And you can search
the transcript of every single
48:50
episode we've ever done. Oh,
man, so support us now people
48:59
for our legal fund. My goodness,
they're nuts. These people are
49:06
nuts. They cannot stand that
we're using that anyone is using
49:10
the Internet. Anyone? Anyone
anyone I'm satisfied said anyone
49:14
John C Dvorak: that any single
person. And like, you know, the
49:17
clip was the you know, who's the
who doesn't have a podcast? Yes.
49:22
But that's not something that
you want. You don't want
49:24
everybody having a voice or
being having the ability to be
49:28
heard. Now. They they do noisy,
49:31
Adam Curry: but what I'm hearing
here is they are they're just
49:35
discovering because of that very
big pile of money they're living
49:38
under that there's this whole
ecosystem that's been around for
49:44
they think 14 years, but Okay,
give them that 20 years that
49:49
exists on RSS. We thought Google
had done away with that a long
49:54
time ago when they close Google
Reader but oh no. Turns out
49:59
these extremists are Still using
this to distribute their their
50:04
Hateful Eight Pages hate, just
hate and we can't we need to
50:10
stop them they need to be
moderated somehow.
50:16
John C Dvorak: Moderation. Yeah.
Anyway, that brings me to
50:19
January 6, January 6. I just did
just a cursory thing I probably
50:26
should do an essay on this but a
couple of conservative writers
50:30
had written up a actually
professors had written up that
50:38
Trump is really has an issue
with this. It doesn't make sense
50:42
when I read their essays about
how it's in the Constitution
50:46
that if you take part in an
insurrection, you are
50:51
unqualified, you can't run for
president, right. And all these
50:54
indictments and all this
bullcrap is really this all a
50:57
smokescreen for the real
indictment, which is the January
51:01
6 stuff. And the fact that from
day one. From day one, there was
51:08
a comment and we I remember when
this January 6 happened, you and
51:15
I have wished that well, why
watch this. I watched it on C
51:17
span. There wasn't anything
going on. It was a creation. It
51:21
was created by Nancy Pelosi and
it was worse than Pearl Harbor,
51:25
911 and all the rest of it. So
that brings me and so I'm
51:29
thinking that this is this is a
last ditch attempt is yes to
51:34
keep Trump from running and it's
all based on him being an
51:38
insurrection. Even though I have
lots of thoughts on this.
51:41
Adam Curry: Can I tell you what
Tina's theory was on this
51:43
because she's way into this?
Yeah, she's she's waiting
51:47
because she's always saying I
hate this. By the way. She's a
51:50
white supremacist. She's the
problem if Southern Poverty Law
51:53
Center, she's the one she's the
she's the mastermind behind the
51:57
no agenda show. So she's always
looking at how they're still
52:01
people locked up for the for
trespassing, in essence, what
52:06
they're trying to get them on
one of the one of the to Trump
52:10
charges, which is thwarting or
interrupting or trying to stop a
52:19
process in Senate, which is, you
know, that's an insurrectionist
52:23
thing. And so they're trying to
hide from what she says what I
52:26
think is reasonable. They're
trying to convict some poor
52:29
people like 65 and 68 years old,
of this work slouches of this
52:34
one particular crime, which is
interceding. I forget the exact
52:39
term in a governmental process,
which would be the exact process
52:44
is one of Trumps. Yeah, that's
that's one of his charts. And if
52:47
they convict this those people,
then they can they'll have a
52:51
case by case law to indict the
two
52:54
John C Dvorak: conditions. They,
this is a long way, but Okay,
52:58
good luck with that. I'm just
saying, let's listen to these
53:01
clips. This is the Epoch Times.
January, the pot times ended up
53:05
grabbing, getting hold those
same tapes that that Tucker
53:09
Carlson tried to show he showed
him for one day of his show and
53:13
then got fired.
53:15
Adam Curry: This is the guy who
was running the Capitol Police.
53:20
John C Dvorak: That's coming.
That's the last of the of these
53:22
clips. Let's start with the
Epoch Times one.
53:25
Unknown: The epic times on
Friday released a special report
53:28
called The January 6 tapes. This
comes after a three month
53:31
investigation by the newspaper
of over 40,000 hours of US
53:35
Capitol police surveillance
video. Some of the most dramatic
53:38
surveillance footage acquired
shows the disabling of Capitol
53:42
Police Officer Brian slick Nick,
he died the day after the
53:45
protest at the Capitol. The
cause of death was two strokes.
53:49
Federal prosecutors charged two
men with assaulting sick Nick
53:52
with pepper spray, one of whom
was Julien le cater. In this
53:56
video you can see a police
commander firing numerous bursts
53:59
of pepper spray from a high
velocity tank. The video shows
54:03
the spray passing by the left
side of signix face after which
54:06
he turns away and leaves the
area while caterers still
54:09
appears to be some distance
away. caterers fathers said they
54:12
never saw this video before the
Epoch Times showed it to them
54:16
saying they withheld this big
time since it is in Washington
54:19
DC. Everything is stacked
against the January Sixers
54:23
Adam Curry: oh yes and yeah he
showed him one time didn't
54:28
really show all the even these
good bits I don't recall Tucker
54:31
showing
54:33
John C Dvorak: no Tucker never
got the chance to show anything
54:35
he showed he had one down after
one episode one episode that and
54:41
then he went he by the time was
gonna get to this will be
54:44
covered. We'll get to the police
guy because I have a clip of him
54:46
special. But let's go to clip to
54:48
Unknown: another clip involves
the Oathkeepers their founder
54:51
Elmer steward Rhodes The third
was in court, partly for
54:55
allegedly initiating a phone
call to provide instructions on
54:58
how to attack the Capitol. If
defense attorneys at the time
55:01
argued the call never happened,
video now shows roads appeared
55:05
to be attempting to make cell
phone calls, but not having
55:08
success. The entire documentary,
which includes much more new
55:12
information on January 6, is now
online on Epic tv.com.
55:17
Adam Curry: Who have you seen
the whole thing?
55:19
John C Dvorak: No, I do all
these things for so long. I
55:21
haven't seen the whole interview
with the police guy either, but
55:25
I didn't have to. But let's go
to clip three. And this is the
55:27
one that triggered me to get a
clip for which I which is named
55:31
differently.
55:32
Unknown: Also on Friday, Tucker
Carlson published an interview
55:35
with Steven Sund, the former
chief of the Capitol Police,
55:38
Carlson had already interviewed
sons while Carlson was still
55:41
with Fox News. However, the day
the interview was supposed to
55:45
air Carlson was fired and Fox
never published it. So Carlson
55:49
interviewed him again, Sunday
says days before January 6, the
55:53
US military was well aware of
possible violence on the day of
55:56
the protest, but then changed
course all of a sudden watch
56:00
on Sunday and Monday, they had
been discussing locking down the
56:03
city, revoking permits on
Capitol Hill because of the
56:07
concern for violence. Instead,
on January 4, what does fuller
56:10
do? He puts out a memo
restricting the National Guard
56:13
from carrying various weapons,
any weapons, any civil
56:16
disobedience equipment that
would be utilized for the very
56:21
demonstrations or violence that
he sees coming? It just doesn't
56:23
make any sense.
56:24
sunde also says he was among the
only ones who was not notified
56:28
about the expected violence.
56:31
Adam Curry: This was a setup.
56:33
John C Dvorak: Well, it's
interesting to me and I've done
56:35
the last clip as well. I played
the last of didn't say what I
56:40
think but this is the Steven son
summary. Now here, this is a
56:44
minute and here's the here's the
preface to this the setup does
56:48
he sets the guy down and talks
to him for 55 minutes. And
56:53
luckily, he's got a producer now
that took the kind of the nuts
56:57
out of the 55 minutes and put it
at the beginning. So it's been
57:01
produced. Yeah. And the
beginning has little snippets of
57:04
really what's what's important
because who needs the 55 minutes
57:08
and Tucker I've noticed the
starting to go long. With these
57:12
interviews he sit somebody down
and he starts talking long hours
57:15
a problem. When you're not, you
know, you're not confined by a
57:19
network TV or anything where you
got to segment you got to be
57:23
blocked. You got to see block.
57:24
Adam Curry: Yes, this. He's not
Joe Rogan.
57:28
John C Dvorak: Right. He's not
Joe Rogan. And, and Rogan, you
57:32
know, it goes naturally long,
but distrib, I'm reminded of
57:35
writers just as an aside, that
Greenwald, Glenn Greenwald is a
57:41
perfect example. When writers
when the internet first came
57:44
along, I knew a lot of guys who
would you'd write in print, if
57:47
you wrote in a newspaper, in
particular, these newspapers
57:51
designed to be top down written.
So you write all the important
57:54
stuff at the beginning and gets
more and more less important. So
57:57
you can just chop it get Chop,
chop, chop, so you can fit it
57:59
into a space. And but news
magazine, writers would have a
58:04
certain amount of words you can
produce. But once the internet
58:08
showed up, and they could write
online, some of these guys just
58:12
didn't know how to stop. Yeah,
they would go on and Tucker is
58:15
falling into this category.
Agree. So luckily, he's got a
58:19
producer who took the snippets,
and put them all at the
58:22
beginning. And here they are,
58:24
Unknown: you've described his
his intelligence failure. But if
58:26
failure is something
58:27
that happens accidentally, none
of the intelligence was coming
58:29
up talking about the storming of
the Capitol killing members of
58:32
Congress were killing my police
officers was ever discussed at
58:35
the conference calls that I was
on at least doesn't seem to make
58:37
sense at all. It doesn't make
sense. I'm looking at my men and
58:40
women having their asses handed
to him and my first thought was,
58:42
fuck it. I will take whatever
discipline there is,
58:44
once things got out of control
for 71 minutes, Pelosi refused
58:49
to allow you to bring in the
National Guard. Why don't we
58:51
have answers?
58:52
It doesn't seem like people
really want to get to the bottom
58:55
of it. And it gets worse from
there. I had a conference call
58:58
with the leaders of all the law
enforcement it was a call I
59:01
coordinated not one person on
that call talked about any
59:04
concerns for the intelligence
the attack on the capital that
59:06
we're seeing that was out that's
what's that's what's scary. This
59:09
sounds
59:09
like a setup to me. I'm sorry.
It does you Jersey State Police
59:14
beat DC National Guard to the
Capitol tweet.
59:16
Cops drove from New Jersey
before the National Guard could
59:20
get from the armory on Capitol
Hill to the Capitol. Why isn't
59:23
the story everywhere? I have no
idea.
59:26
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's good.
That's good. Well, you know
59:28
what? There's some self
awareness there at least he's
59:31
got a producer that knows what
he's doing.
59:33
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's
needed. Yeah. Now my thoughts on
59:39
this are interesting because two
reasons for firing Tucker's are
59:44
always blamed nowadays are
blamed on dominion. Dominion
59:48
demanded as part of the
settlement which was a
59:50
ridiculous settlement to begin
with, by the way, make any
59:53
pushed
59:53
Adam Curry: by a lot of
prominent podcasters including
59:56
Megyn Kelly, and a whole bunch
of other people all saying It
1:00:00
was because of this because of
dominion. And we never bought
1:00:03
into that.
1:00:05
John C Dvorak: It's fishy
because the whole Dominion
1:00:07
lawsuit is fishy and that the
settlement is fishy when you a
1:00:10
company like News Corp could
stall a proceeding like that. To
1:00:16
Infinity, they could do it if
they wanted to. You don't just
1:00:20
roll over for a billion dollars,
it doesn't make any sense. And
1:00:24
whether there was even any
injury, it doesn't make any
1:00:27
sense. And so that didn't blame.
Tucker's firing on Dominion
1:00:30
demanding it. I think it's this
guy. This interview plus the
1:00:34
videotapes that Tucker was
starting to roll out was ruining
1:00:38
the great plot to get rid of
Trump through this insurrection
1:00:43
rule. statement that's in the
Constitution. And Fox was in on
1:00:47
it because Murdoch never wanted
Trump to be president. No. And
1:00:52
the Murdochs nowadays are all
bunch of Democrats. Well, like
1:00:56
you'd like to say the whole
always, always was Democrat run
1:00:59
and so so. So Tucker was ousted.
And so Tucker couldn't even get
1:01:04
this interview back. They never
showed it. So he went and re
1:01:08
interviewed the guy. Yeah, there
you go, which is like, hey, they
1:01:12
didn't expect that, did they?
1:01:14
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well,
1:01:16
John C Dvorak: this really
stinks.
1:01:19
Adam Curry: So we need to
reiterate that. This was a it
1:01:24
was protection. And they had it
set up a long time in advance,
1:01:27
you know, the we had all the
National Guard and the fences
1:01:30
and everything. And it was all
set. And I'm not even thinking
1:01:33
that they even had the camera
angles all set. And we kind of
1:01:36
think back about the televised
event that
1:01:38
John C Dvorak: it was, because
you never saw that on C span.
1:01:40
No, no, no, they
1:01:41
Adam Curry: had they were all
set for it. And the I think
1:01:45
there were just two or three
minutes away from a
1:01:47
constitutional procedure, where
we say, Hey, hold on a second,
1:01:50
let's take a vote on the
ultimate slate of electors,
1:01:53
which has happened, which I
think it happens almost every
1:01:55
election, but this election and
Pence was clearly co opted into
1:02:00
it. And bar I mean, Trump is
great at firing people very bad
1:02:06
at hiring people. And, and, and
the right this is a last ditch
1:02:11
effort, but it was set up very,
very carefully. And now they're
1:02:13
going to do us a couple of these
poor saps as examples to get
1:02:19
this one particular type of
conviction. And then the
1:02:24
laughable part of Trump was
directing people to do that he
1:02:28
was telling them to go commit
violence, which was exactly the
1:02:32
opposite is true. In fact, he
said, peacefully, within your
1:02:38
patriotic, patriotic protest, I
think he said. And, you know,
1:02:44
maybe in three years, everyone
will come around. And we'll all
1:02:48
recognize what really happened.
What is out there, and I thought
1:02:51
this was pretty good. I'll play
this a supercut. Of the mainly
1:02:56
Democrats, politicians, but also
Democrat Party supporters,
1:03:02
calling for violence against
Trump when he was president. And
1:03:05
this is from the two 620 16 era.
1:03:09
Unknown: I just don't even know
why there aren't uprisings all
1:03:12
over the country, maybe there
will be there needs to be unrest
1:03:14
in the streets for as long as
there's unrest in our lives. I'd
1:03:17
be better throw a punch, you had
to throw a punch
1:03:20
Donald Trump, I think you need
to go back and then punch him in
1:03:23
the face and I thought he should
have punched him in the face. I
1:03:25
feel like punching him.
1:03:27
I'd like to take him behind the
gym. If I were in high school,
1:03:30
or in high school, I'd take him
behind the gym and beat the hell
1:03:32
out of him. No, I wish you're in
high school. I could take him
1:03:34
behind the gym. I will
1:03:36
go and take Trump out tonight.
Take them out now.
1:03:40
When was the last time an actor
assassinated a president?
1:03:43
They're still gonna have to go
out and put a bullet in Donald
1:03:45
Trump show me where it says that
protests are supposed to be
1:03:48
polite, and peaceful.
1:03:56
I have thought an awful lot
about blowing up the White
1:04:01
House.
1:04:01
Please get up in the face of
some congress people. People
1:04:06
will do what they do. I want to
tell you for Dutch, I want to
1:04:10
tell you Kavanaugh you have
released the whirlwind and you
1:04:16
will pay a price target
1:04:18
to go in there we're going to
this is just a warning to you.
1:04:23
Trumpers Be careful. Walk
lightly. And for those of you
1:04:29
who are soldiers make them pity
if you had to be stuck in an
1:04:34
elevator with either President
Trump Mike Pence and Jeff
1:04:36
Sessions who wouldn't be one of
us have to come out alive
1:04:44
Adam Curry: Yes a memorable
moments in there. Yeah. So
1:04:47
that's that, by the way is
political speech. It's all good
1:04:50
political free speech, even
though they're being very
1:04:53
violent, appalling calling for
violence, etc.
1:04:56
John C Dvorak: This was another
little thing I want to add to
1:04:58
this idea that this You know all
about the insurrection to try to
1:05:02
set trump up for that he's been
he did say peaceful is the is
1:05:08
the bull crap story about him
wanting to go to the Capitol and
1:05:12
the Secret Service guys refusing
to take him there? I think the
1:05:15
Secret Service guys have been on
his side all along. And if and I
1:05:20
brought this up in the
newsletter, which is a question
1:05:23
is just like I should have
brought up in the last show,
1:05:26
which is with this guy that they
shot to Trump guy, they shot the
1:05:31
FBI shot because he was
threatening Biden. Why is the
1:05:34
FBI investigating? This isn't is
supposed to be the Secret
1:05:38
Service? What's the FBI got to
do with it?
1:05:41
Adam Curry: One of our producers
emailed me that he has a friend
1:05:45
who works at the Secret Service.
And he asked this exact
1:05:47
question. And he said, I don't
know you should ask them money,
1:05:51
something like that. So now
there's a lot of things wrong.
1:05:57
But I love this
1:05:57
John C Dvorak: this was wrong.
Yeah, I guess that's one way of
1:06:01
putting it
1:06:02
Adam Curry: listen to this
Newsmax or would they not what
1:06:04
they're now doing Newsmax
they're so they're so afraid of
1:06:07
getting D platformed themselves
happened,
1:06:10
Unknown: and that they allowed
that to happen? And that media
1:06:13
doesn't want anybody to talk
about it. We just have to make
1:06:15
sure they don't cheat on the
elections, because that's the
1:06:18
question I get more Sir, will
they do it again? Will they
1:06:20
cheat again, we're not gonna let
them I believe I won that
1:06:23
election by many, many votes,
many, many hundreds of 1000s of
1:06:27
us. That's what I think just to
note, Newsmax has accepted the
1:06:30
election results as legal. And
final.
1:06:35
Adam Curry: Just a note, we have
accepted the results as legal
1:06:38
and final. Yeah, because they
have to disclaim everything now,
1:06:42
otherwise, you know, they get in
trouble. Okay, so you're no
1:06:46
agenda show producers out there,
which is truly your show because
1:06:50
you give us as much information
as you possibly can. We've been
1:06:54
ahead of these types of stories
and been called nut jobs for
1:06:57
many, many years. And it was in
fact, in March of 2020, when we
1:07:03
called the the panic around
COVID that we call that bull
1:07:08
crap. And certainly, I think a
lot of people came to the show
1:07:13
and felt a lot calmer during
this whole period, which was a
1:07:18
version of mass MK Ultra
traumatizing, not just
1:07:22
Americans, but the entire world.
And it's still being used. And
1:07:26
now we are three years later
working on the full third year.
1:07:30
Yeah. No, no. Yeah. For three,
almost 434 years. And now Oh,
1:07:36
yes. But now people are figuring
it out. Oh, okay. Here's the
1:07:40
money. Honey was Senator Ron
Johnson, they've finally figured
1:07:43
it out.
1:07:44
Unknown: It's just extraordinary
to me that, you know, the
1:07:48
government was working with
social media to amplify lies and
1:07:52
suppress truth and has been
doing so repeatedly. Why
1:07:55
couldn't the American people
know that? You know, there were
1:07:59
other alternatives to treat?
COVID? Why can't the American
1:08:03
people know that there were side
effects with the vaccine?
1:08:05
This was all pre planned by any
elite group of people. That's
1:08:09
what I'm talking about event
two, a one that occurred in late
1:08:12
2019. Prior to the rest of us
knowing about this pandemic.
1:08:17
Again. This is very concerning
in terms of what has happened.
1:08:22
What is happening, what
continues to be planned for our
1:08:26
loss of freedom. Again, it
1:08:29
Adam Curry: is Maria Bartiromo.
Oh, yeah, I see it now
1:08:33
Unknown: most but unfortunately,
they're very better than Yup.
1:08:36
Not much, even in concert
willing to take a look at this.
1:08:40
They all push the vaccine. They
don't want to be made aware of
1:08:44
the fact that the vaccines might
have caused injuries might have
1:08:46
caused death. But people just
simply don't want to admit they
1:08:50
were wrong, and they're gonna do
everything they can to make sure
1:08:53
that they're not proven wrong.
We're up against a very powerful
1:08:56
group of people here, Maria
bunting, unfortunately, you say
1:08:59
what can we do? Well, you know,
we do have reporters like
1:09:01
yourself, like John Solomon,
other people that have the
1:09:04
courage to report the truth
against the mainstream media and
1:09:08
against the narrative. But
that's the only way this is
1:09:10
going to be solved as we need
the truth to be exposed. We need
1:09:14
more Americans to listen to the
truth on podcast host to the
1:09:17
truth, to pull their heads on
the sand, quite honestly open up
1:09:20
their eyes and understand what
is happening in this country. We
1:09:23
are going down a very dangerous
path. But it's a path is being
1:09:27
laid out in plan by an elite
group. Hello,
1:09:30
Adam Curry: hello, Senator.
Hello, Senator, we're going down
1:09:32
the dangerous path
1:09:35
Unknown: under control over our
lives, and that's what they're
1:09:38
doing bit by bit. They do it by
increasing mafia, massive
1:09:42
government spending, increase
the size of government takeover
1:09:46
of the coup, these amendments
that are coming up, they're
1:09:48
going to be voted on in 2024 and
the who are frightening and they
1:09:53
really risk taking away all of
our sovereignty, but people have
1:09:56
to wake up awakened to the
dangers of the moment.
1:09:59
Adam Curry: So now We have the
big walk back. And this is
1:10:01
important because it's
happening. One of our producers
1:10:04
even pointed something out to us
that we we barely caught. The
1:10:08
big walk back is taking place
now and we have to pay attention
1:10:11
to it and we will certainly
highlight it whenever we catch
1:10:15
it. So the first thing is taking
place as the FDA gets hauled
1:10:20
into court. Doctors are suing
the FDA because they lost their
1:10:23
practice. They've lost their
license, they've lost their
1:10:26
careers, because they prescribed
Oh, horrors. They prescribed
1:10:31
ivermectin as you, as you said
on the previous episode about
1:10:37
the horse, the PBS show the all
horse
1:10:41
John C Dvorak: show where they
showed the horse.
1:10:43
Adam Curry: Because New because
people were taking horse
1:10:46
ivermectin. Some actually were
because you couldn't get
1:10:50
ivermectin in pill form at
doctors, pharmacies. We're not
1:10:55
We're not allowed to prescribe
it. We're not allowed to fill
1:10:58
prescriptions, doctors that
prescribe to
1:11:02
John C Dvorak: prescribe good
I've talked to pharmacists, the
1:11:04
young if a doctor prescribed it
to pharmacy couldn't fill it.
1:11:07
Adam Curry: So just a two minute
clip from this. From this
1:11:12
hearing, and you say at the
judge, you're going to hear the
1:11:15
millennial. Nothing against
millennials, but just It's
1:11:19
notable. This doesn't sound like
a seasoned lawyer who was
1:11:23
defending the FDA because the
FDA was tweeting, stop it. Stop
1:11:29
it. Stop. Stop taking ivermectin
stop prescribing ivermectin. And
1:11:35
these doctors said, Well, you
know, you said stop it. And it
1:11:40
was very clear and your
directives and now they're
1:11:42
walking it back saying no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
1:11:46
you're misunderstanding what we
were saying.
1:11:49
John C Dvorak: I love by the
way. I love this one because I
1:11:52
think it's in here. They said it
was a quip
1:11:55
Unknown: whippy and may it
please the Court, Ashley Honnold
1:12:00
for the United States. This case
is about informational
1:12:03
statements made by the US Food
and Drug Administration to
1:12:07
inform consumers about the
dangers of using certain drugs.
1:12:12
He made these statements in
response to multiple reports of
1:12:16
consumers being hospitalized,
after self medicating with
1:12:20
ivermectin intended for horses,
which is available for purchase
1:12:24
over the counter without the
need for prescription.
1:12:29
Adam Curry: You see how there
this is? It's just not true. It
1:12:33
was. It was in fact, CNN mainly,
who accused Joe Rogan of taking
1:12:39
a horse medicine. And you
remember he had he had Gupta?
1:12:44
Which,
1:12:45
John C Dvorak: yes, he had
Gupta. Sanjay Gupta. Who do you
1:12:49
Adam Curry: know what? Why? Why
were you lying? So I had regular
1:12:52
ivermectin, which is just a pill
form for humans. And you kept
1:12:55
saying I was taking horse paste.
So now that they're lying,
1:13:01
they're lying. Because now they
say, oh, no, that was because
1:13:03
people were taking horse horse
medication if
1:13:05
Unknown: they did not purport to
require anyone to do anything,
1:13:09
or to prohibit anyone from do
what about
1:13:12
when it said No, stop it. That's
the judge. Why is that a
1:13:17
command? That seems to me it's
that's if you were an English
1:13:22
class, they would say that was a
command stop it. That is
1:13:27
different than we're providing
helpful information.
1:13:32
Your Honor, the language that
the FDA used in these tweets are
1:13:36
merely clips. And I don't think
that these clips change the
1:13:40
substance of FDA statements as
plaintiffs consider that
1:13:43
a command. Stop it.
1:13:47
The tweets about the horse
ivermectin were intended to
1:13:51
advise consumers that they
should not use ivermectin
1:13:54
intended for animals and that
this could be unsafe. I'm sorry.
1:13:57
Can you answer the question,
please? Is that a command stop
1:14:03
it? In some contexts, those
words could be construed as a
1:14:11
command. But in this context,
where FDA was simply using these
1:14:15
words in the context of a quippy
tweet meant to share its
1:14:19
informational article. Those
statements do not rise to the
1:14:22
level of a command. Plaintiffs
concede that it was proper for
1:14:26
FDA to identify floche
ivermectin is FDA authorized for
1:14:32
it's FDA approved for certain
conditions like skin conditions
1:14:37
or parasites and it's not FDA
approved for treating COVID
1:14:43
Adam Curry: quippy the FDA in a
life or death situation where
1:14:47
we're locked down, can't leave
our homes have to close
1:14:50
restaurants and stores. They're
just hard. They're just goofing
1:14:54
around doing quippy stuff.
1:14:56
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're
humorous. they're funny,
1:14:59
Adam Curry: they're doing
comedy.
1:15:00
John C Dvorak: He quit doing
stand up
1:15:02
Adam Curry: quippy. What is the
exact definition of quippy?
1:15:06
John C Dvorak: Is it like a
short gag or a one liner?
1:15:09
Adam Curry: Because I mean is
this the job of the FDA quip is
1:15:12
a shortening of quippy a noun or
a noun no longer in use. About
1:15:16
that?
1:15:17
John C Dvorak: I don't know
about that. The clever usually
1:15:20
Adam Curry: taunting remark is
the first definition, or a
1:15:23
witty, or funny observation or
response usually made on the
1:15:27
spur of the moment. So that
would be my cross examination.
1:15:32
Are you in the comedy business?
FDA? Tell we got to walk it
1:15:37
back. Oh, no, no, haha, we
didn't tell.we didn't ruin
1:15:40
doctors careers. We didn't we
just happen to laugh. Just
1:15:44
having a laugh. Like on CBS. And
this is one of our producers
1:15:49
caught with Dr. Celine gounder
was talking about COVID
1:15:55
returning, and about your
booster booster
1:15:59
Unknown: that's in the fall. So
the booster at it.
1:16:02
Everyone's six months and up can
get the booster if they want to.
1:16:06
But the groups again that most
needed are the groups I
1:16:09
mentioned earlier. So the
elderly, pregnant women, people
1:16:13
who have immunosuppression,
chronic medical conditions,
1:16:16
especially heart or lung
disease, and people who live in
1:16:19
nursing homes or other groups.
But if you're not
1:16:21
in that group, do you think you
don't really have to get it?
1:16:23
That's what I'm trying before.
1:16:25
That's really up to you. Okay,
so some people feel more
1:16:28
concerned, you know, are you the
person who gets the flu shot
1:16:30
every year, you're probably
going to want to get that COVID
1:16:32
shot. If you're, you know, if
you've already been fully
1:16:35
vaccinated, it's less important
for that young healthy group.
1:16:39
You mentioned flu shot last
year.
1:16:41
Adam Curry: So now it's up to
you
1:16:43
John C Dvorak: to know they've
softened it a lot. And that you
1:16:46
should notice this and we
haven't pointed it out, but it's
1:16:49
been going on, it's up to you.
1:16:50
Adam Curry: It's not, we're not
being forced forcing that
1:16:53
there's no mandate. It's not
like you're gonna get fired from
1:16:56
your job.
1:16:58
John C Dvorak: You're gonna kill
your grandmom if you don't get
1:17:00
it, stuff like that. And
1:17:01
Adam Curry: now we have Eris,
which is a variant of interest
1:17:08
Unknown: was interesting. I was
talking with some friends about
1:17:10
the last time we had a booster
shot. We used to get them so
1:17:13
regularly and it's been a
minute, the World Health
1:17:16
Organization has labeled eg five
as a variant of interest. I'm
1:17:19
wondering what would need to
happen for it to become a
1:17:22
variant of concern and how much
more important become for us to
1:17:26
get boosted. Boost?
1:17:28
Yes. Well, Ilana to become a
variant of concern, it would
1:17:32
have to either cause more severe
disease, or even more
1:17:36
importantly, evade the
protection of our current and
1:17:39
anticipated vaccines. And the
Food and Drug Administration has
1:17:44
said, we'll have a new
monovalent booster ready for the
1:17:48
fall to carry us through the
winter. We expect this vaccine
1:17:53
to be available sometime in
September, perhaps late
1:17:56
September. So stay tuned for
those announcements.
1:18:00
Adam Curry: Stay tuned. What is
this commercial? Oh, I'm sorry.
1:18:03
Yes, it is. Stay tuned for more
information. Stay tuned. Keep
1:18:07
keep it here on CBS for more
information on this great
1:18:11
product.
1:18:15
John C Dvorak: Very seriously.
This is interesting because it
1:18:17
leads into this series of clips
on the agency captures and this
1:18:23
is the thing Kennedy's harping
on which is that the FDA, the
1:18:27
NIH and the CDC have all been
captured by the industry, by
1:18:31
Adam Curry: the way, Kennedy
because we had dinner with my
1:18:34
sister last night with their
family. Couple of No, Tiffany.
1:18:39
Tiffany, yeah, no Willow we're
seeing in Italy next week. Okay.
1:18:44
And, you know, so
1:18:45
John C Dvorak: Denise, the
activities are more gossipy one,
1:18:48
she's quite amazing to talk to.
1:18:53
Adam Curry: I'm gonna send this
clip to her. Yes, she has the
1:18:56
cost and she definitely is the
gossipy walk. And so she would
1:19:00
you know, what are you guys
thinking about present? And we
1:19:03
say, No, we've really we're
really liking this Kennedy's.
1:19:05
He's talking some sense here.
She says, But wait, isn't he
1:19:09
just he's a just using the
Kennedy name as an anti Vaxxer.
1:19:14
Nuff said.
1:19:15
John C Dvorak: It spreads
everywhere versus which is gonna
1:19:17
Adam Curry: work but it works.
That That message is global.
1:19:23
It's a good one. It's solid.
It's solid.
1:19:26
John C Dvorak: Well, he's got
time he's got to he's got to the
1:19:28
end of the year to reverse that
message. A good luck and good
1:19:32
luck with that. I'm sure ops
Yeah,
1:19:37
Adam Curry: ops OPERS will be
OPERS.
1:19:39
John C Dvorak: So let's go as
Farm Agency capture one this is
1:19:42
quite interesting.
1:19:43
Unknown: Follow the money.
That's the message from
1:19:45
government watchdog group open
the books this week. It's just
1:19:49
released a report on the extent
of third party royalty payments
1:19:53
flowing to scientists at the
National Institutes of Health.
1:19:57
While royalty payments aren't
illegal, they are live that
1:20:00
could potentially create
conflicts of interest. Earlier
1:20:03
today I spoke with the founder
and CEO of open the books, Adam
1:20:07
and Jeff ski. Adam, thanks so
much for joining us. Your latest
1:20:10
report poses the question has
the healthcare industry captured
1:20:14
the NIH? In summary, what in
your findings caused you to ask
1:20:18
that?
1:20:18
Well, the entire pharmaceutical
complex in the United States is
1:20:22
roughly 3000 companies. And that
includes the new startups. When
1:20:26
we just cracked open the
companies paying third party
1:20:30
royalties, $325 million, with a
third party company royalties
1:20:36
back to the NIH and 2400 of its
scientists, there's actually
1:20:39
over 2000 companies in the
database. So it begs the
1:20:42
question, has the industry
captured the agency? Because
1:20:47
this third party wealthy scheme
runs so deep?
1:20:50
Adam Curry: Wait a minute,
there's gambling going on there?
1:20:53
John C Dvorak: How long? 325
million to 2500. Guys, and I
1:20:57
guess I don't know how
1:20:58
Adam Curry: long have we been
talking about this forever.
1:21:02
John C Dvorak: We don't have
numbers and this guy's this
1:21:04
guy's opened the books. He's got
an interesting project. And
1:21:07
we'll get into it at the last
clip all mentioned it. This is
1:21:11
an open source project. It's
quite Oh, quite unique. Here we
1:21:14
go.
1:21:14
Unknown: Last year, the acting
director of the NIH, Lawrence
1:21:17
Tabak had said wealty payments
have the appearance of a
1:21:21
potential conflict of interest.
Do you have a specific example
1:21:24
of that from the data?
1:21:25
Well, we do so there's a Chinese
company that actually licensed
1:21:30
technology in his paying
royalties to the former director
1:21:34
and the current director of
vouches Institute, they've got a
1:21:38
lab over there called the lab of
infectious diseases. He's all
1:21:42
that company is also paying
royalties to pay the royalty to
1:21:46
Douglas Lowry, who is he he is
three times the Acting Director
1:21:50
of the National Cancer
Institute. So these are leaders
1:21:53
within the institutes over at
NIH, and they're receiving
1:21:56
royalties from a foreign payer,
located in China and owned by
1:22:00
the Chinese Communist Party.
sinopharm sinopharm was the they
1:22:05
distributed and manufacture the
Chinese version of the COVID-19
1:22:08
vaccine. This rule on Institute
of biological products that's
1:22:13
cutting the royalty checks to
these executives over at NIH is
1:22:17
also very close, both in
proximity their neighbors to the
1:22:22
Wuhan Institute of neurology,
and they collaborate with the
1:22:25
Wuhan Institute of neurology on
different projects as well. So I
1:22:29
think this is a great example
of, of, you know, the potential,
1:22:34
an entire landscape littered
with conflict of interest,
1:22:39
Adam Curry: you know, these
clips are actually a problem.
1:22:41
It's because of these clips that
peep longtime producers who have
1:22:45
been listening to the show, they
say, I can't take it anymore. I
1:22:48
have to stop listening. My wife.
1:22:50
John C Dvorak: She says, I can't
listen to the show. It's to
1:22:54
dance. To dance, I have to take
a nap halfway through it. We
1:22:59
talked about this and I said
let's make the show more dense.
1:23:03
Unknown: She has to take a nap
1:23:07
John C Dvorak: her out. Because
this is all new information.
1:23:12
Anybody who just hears it. But
it does scandal to me and this
1:23:16
one is that an NIH and the CDC,
these people this is these are
1:23:21
taxpayer funded operations.
1:23:24
Adam Curry: And half. Half of
NIH is money comes from the
1:23:28
military. Also, yes. Which
1:23:30
John C Dvorak: is taxpayer
funded, that those royalties
1:23:33
coming in from from licensing
should go to the taxpayers, it
1:23:36
should go to the coffers of the
government not to a bunch of of
1:23:40
creeps that are skimming money
from the from the taxpayer. This
1:23:44
is ridiculous. But we've known
1:23:47
Adam Curry: that we didn't know
the exact numbers, which is
1:23:49
nice. But does he also say how
much went to Fauci how much went
1:23:52
to Colin? What? Oh, he's just
1:23:55
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he does. In
fact, in the last clip, he did
1:23:58
mention that was the deal. Fauci
Institute never heard of that
1:24:01
one. Yeah, and Fauci, the head
of the NIH got half the money,
1:24:05
but just go to clip three,
1:24:07
Unknown: and he mentioned
foreign countries. In these
1:24:10
payments. Your investigation
found drugmakers in 31 foreign
1:24:14
countries, including China, as
you mentioned, Russia and
1:24:17
Belarus, which had paid
royalties to top NIH officials.
1:24:21
Should American taxpayers be
concerned about that? Yeah.
1:24:26
Countries like Belarus, which is
rabid government corruption and
1:24:30
is a satellite puppet of Putin
in Russia, who knew that US
1:24:36
taxpayer paid inventions over at
our crown jewel science labs are
1:24:39
being licensed to companies in
Belarus, or animal vaccine
1:24:44
makers in Russia, with which the
Washington Post had alleged has
1:24:48
historic Soviet ties to being a
front for a bio weapons factory.
1:24:55
I mean, you know, there is the
entire database here. or has the
1:25:01
potential to unearth not only
conflict of interest, but also
1:25:08
ways that all these different
companies used our crown jewel
1:25:11
national lab to outsource their
own research and development.
1:25:16
Adam Curry: No, yeah. Beautiful.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Not Not
1:25:21
everybody's winning though. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no quickie
1:25:26
Unknown: down to the Supreme
Court temporarily blocking the
1:25:29
landmark opioid settlement with
Purdue pharma, the maker of
1:25:32
Oxycontin, by the administration
objected to the part of the deal
1:25:35
with shields the company's
owners, the Sackler family from
1:25:38
civil opioid related lawsuits,
the company also agreed to pay
1:25:42
$6 billion to victims and
families of the opioid crisis.
1:25:46
The court is expected to hear
arguments before the end of the
1:25:49
year.
1:25:49
Adam Curry: Now, I think I know
what's going on here because the
1:25:52
Sackler family, although they
kind of invented the model, they
1:25:56
are peanuts compared to Johnson
and Johnson, who paid I think
1:26:00
$25 billion in fines, Walgreens,
who were distributing boys, the
1:26:05
big boys that and so like, you
know, the Sacklers they were
1:26:10
kind of douche is they didn't
share. They didn't share and all
1:26:13
the money. They didn't give
anything to
1:26:16
John C Dvorak: the FDA. They get
yeah, there's an element of
1:26:20
Adam Curry: jobs, but they did.
There was no real big payment
1:26:23
money screw those guys will have
them take the fall. And now I'm
1:26:27
even questioning Michael
Keaton's documentary, which was
1:26:31
really so putting the whole
opioid crisis on the Sackler
1:26:35
family. Well, that's
disingenuous.
1:26:40
John C Dvorak: Alright, we got
clips for and this is the one
1:26:42
people should listen carefully
to this.
1:26:44
Adam Curry: We just play a clip
for no. Oh, I'm sorry. So
1:26:47
John C Dvorak: clips for is the
is the call the money shot. It's
1:26:53
interesting for anyone out there
who was always bitching that we
1:26:56
do, do not, we're not activists
on this show, we just produce
1:27:00
news. But this guy is
1:27:01
Unknown: now the age still
refuses to disclose the amount
1:27:05
of money paid, and the
inventions involved. So what's
1:27:08
next in this case for your
organization?
1:27:12
Well, the NIH has tried to stop
us at every turn from getting
1:27:15
this information to the American
people. They ignored our Freedom
1:27:18
of Information Act requests,
they forced us to file expensive
1:27:21
federal litigation, when we won
that they slow walked 3000 pages
1:27:26
of royalty production over the
course of a 10 month period. It
1:27:29
was so redacted It was nearly
worthless. But just last week,
1:27:33
they caved on the name of the
company. So for the first time
1:27:36
since 2005, we can tell who paid
Fauci, former director of NIH,
1:27:42
Francis Collins, and all 20 407
of its scientists, and we've,
1:27:46
we're looking for crowdsource
reform come to our website, we
1:27:50
make this database available in
an Excel format. So it's very
1:27:54
easy to search and you can
search and help us unearth the
1:27:58
stories to hold the NIH
accountable. And that's
1:28:01
open the books.com Thank you so
much. Adam NTF ski founder and
1:28:05
CEO of open the books really
appreciate it.
1:28:08
Adam Curry: Was this an 80 NTD
report or Yeah, yeah, yeah, so
1:28:12
this will go nowhere.
1:28:15
John C Dvorak: Oh, no. Well, we
got that part. We did our part.
1:28:18
Where's Ron
1:28:19
Adam Curry: Johnson on the
story. Now he's
1:28:21
John C Dvorak: too busy to get a
date with Maria
1:28:27
Adam Curry: they might make a
cute couple actually not think
1:28:29
about it would be not be too
bad. I'll be too bad. Oh, man.
1:28:34
It's a mess. It's a mess.
Hilarious. It really
1:28:38
John C Dvorak: I mean, these
guys are just soaking the
1:28:39
American taxpayer is
unbelievable.
1:28:45
Adam Curry: How about little
climate change? I mean, okay,
1:28:48
you know, people actually, they
keep telling me to say we really
1:28:53
miss our little journey through
the climate gets to the gate to
1:28:58
the
1:29:06
outdoors back Oh, Gore is back.
1:29:09
Unknown: Does anyone remember
massage?
1:29:10
Adam Curry: Does anyone remember
that? He got in trouble for
1:29:13
massaging or for rubbing against
the misuse his leg like a horny
1:29:17
poodle?
1:29:19
Unknown: I think that was the
boys himself.
1:29:22
Adam Curry: Yeah. So Well, that
was that was just an Oopsie.
1:29:24
It's my bathroom fell open, man.
What can I tell you? I'm sorry
1:29:28
about that. And no one remembers
that. Well, his wife is ex wife
1:29:32
tipper does I guess? Yes.
1:29:34
John C Dvorak: She's long gone.
Yeah,
1:29:35
Adam Curry: she's like, Screw
this guy. I'm out. So he's back.
1:29:38
He has a new slide deck. As you
recall, this is how it all is
1:29:43
how it all started for him. I
mean,
1:29:46
John C Dvorak: he neglects all
the predictions he made that
1:29:48
first early movie, which was
hard to find now is all wrong.
1:29:52
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's it's kind
of the part that is missing is
1:29:58
when he started the carbon
exchange. Ain't without without
1:30:00
other globalist elitist guy
who's dead now, because they had
1:30:04
it all planned out. Like we're
gonna we're gonna exchange like
1:30:08
a Wall Street for carbon credits
yeah for carbon credits and, and
1:30:11
then we're gonna get this, this
and he had a slide deck and this
1:30:14
is what he was going around
everywhere and he finally got
1:30:17
this movie made this
documentary, we stock footage of
1:30:21
polar bears looking really sad
on a piece of ice
1:30:24
John C Dvorak: even though
there's more polar bears now
1:30:26
than there was then.
1:30:28
Adam Curry: So he's back and he
did a TED, he did a TED with an
1:30:32
audience that was all in hooting
and hollering. I just got about
1:30:36
a minute and a half, just of the
little core piece. The most
1:30:40
Unknown: important question
these days is how can we speed
1:30:44
up solutions to the climate
crisis?
1:30:48
Where's my money?
1:30:49
I'm convinced we are going to
solve the climate crisis. We've
1:30:52
got this but the question
remains will we saw that in
1:30:56
time, others have said we're
kind of in a race. So I'll give
1:31:00
you the shortest definition of
the problem. If I was going to
1:31:04
give a one slide slide show,
which he doesn't use 100 slides,
1:31:08
it would be this slide. That's
the troposphere, the lowest part
1:31:13
of the atmosphere. And you
already know why it's blue.
1:31:15
That's the oxygen that refracts
the
1:31:18
John C Dvorak: vision is blue,
1:31:21
Adam Curry: was waiting for the
chemists to come out and refute
1:31:24
this was
1:31:25
Unknown: part of the atmosphere.
And you already know why it's
1:31:27
blue. That's the oxygen that
refracts the blue light. And if
1:31:32
you could drive a car at highway
speed straight up in the air,
1:31:35
you'd get to the top of that
blue line and about five to
1:31:37
seven minutes, you could walk it
in an hour. And all of the
1:31:41
greenhouse gas pollution is
below you. That's what we're
1:31:45
using as an open sewer. That's
the problem. And it's causing
1:31:49
Adam Curry: stop pooping in the
troposphere, people. We need to
1:31:52
solve global warming, you're
pooping in it. It's an open
1:31:55
sewer,
1:31:56
Unknown: and a lot of second and
third order consequences. And we
1:31:59
saw some of them in the northern
tier cities, including Detroit.
1:32:04
This one's from New York City,
all the fires and, and it's
1:32:07
showing
1:32:07
Adam Curry: the Red Skies from
the Canadian fires. You see,
1:32:10
this is all because of climate
change. And he's showing New
1:32:13
York City engulfed in red
1:32:15
Unknown: from New York City, all
the fires and in Canada, and we
1:32:18
have gotten used to the fact
that the world suffers deep
1:32:21
droughts, and huge rain bombs
and downpours and bombs
1:32:26
simultaneously. The really
ingenious new gravity measuring
1:32:30
satellite has given us for the
first time the opportunity to
1:32:33
see how this plays out.
1:32:36
Adam Curry: I missed something
on this. What is this ingenious
1:32:39
gravity satellite that he speaks
of?
1:32:41
John C Dvorak: I haven't heard
of it either.
1:32:42
Adam Curry: This is news to me.
The really
1:32:45
Unknown: ingenious new gravity
measuring satellite has given us
1:32:48
for the first time the
opportunity to see how this
1:32:51
plays out worldwide. We get
these huge surpluses of water
1:32:58
the rain bombs and the drought
simultaneous.
1:33:01
Adam Curry: Why is he laughing?
I mean, it's I know why I'm
1:33:06
laughing. But why is he laughing
about this? This huge drought
1:33:11
and then the rain bombs, rain
bombs? Is he the only one
1:33:15
talking about rain bomb? I don't
think we've had rain bombs ever
1:33:18
John C Dvorak: hurry. Yeah, but
it'll show up because he's the
1:33:19
first to talk to you about the
boiling ocean.
1:33:22
Adam Curry: Yes, yeah. Rain
bombs, and the board
1:33:24
John C Dvorak: came back.
1:33:25
Unknown: We get these huge
surpluses of water, the rain
1:33:31
bombs and the drought
simultaneously. And as you can
1:33:34
see the amplitude
1:33:35
John C Dvorak: Yeah, makes
sense. Yeah, simultaneously,
1:33:39
drought and rain. Uh huh. Yeah,
1:33:41
Adam Curry: it's the same way
that the pavement is reflective
1:33:45
and soaks up at the same time it
soaks and it's it's amazing
1:33:49
Unknown: water, the rain bombs
and the drought simultaneously.
1:33:53
And as you can see, the
amplitude is increasing. And at
1:33:56
both ends of our planet right
now, we're seeing signs of
1:34:00
distress course. You know, just
I've often said every night on
1:34:04
the TV news is like a major hike
through the book of Revelation.
1:34:06
And just today,
1:34:08
Adam Curry: hold on a second.
This like a nature hike through
1:34:11
the book of Revelation. Well,
this is good news. Jesus is
1:34:17
coming back.
1:34:18
John C Dvorak: So what he's
saying,
1:34:20
Unknown: He's saying now we're
seeing signs of distress course.
1:34:24
You know, just I've often said
every night on the TV news is
1:34:27
like a major hike through the
book of Revelation, and just
1:34:30
today, big flooding in
Montpelier, Vermont, in southern
1:34:35
Japan and India. And I haven't
done a complete scan, but every
1:34:39
single day, it's like that.
1:34:42
Adam Curry: I just can't get
over. That's a faux pa Gao gore.
1:34:47
It's like, oh, okay, book 13.
Where are we at? Now clubs. How
1:34:52
close are we he's a prophet. The
man is a prophet. So then I run
1:34:56
into this, this report I think
it was on Dorjee Vela or TR T.
1:35:04
And it's a half hour report is
called deflecting the sun's
1:35:07
rays. Now you see, the stuff
that that we were always laughed
1:35:14
at about chemtrails, and they're
not putting anything in the air.
1:35:18
This is crazy. No one would ever
do that is to eclipse. This
1:35:23
first guy is going to talk about
how we block the sun or, or the
1:35:27
term we just recently learned
solar radiation management.
1:35:32
Unknown: I had a chat with Andy
Pittman about it. He's director
1:35:35
of the UC Center of Excellence
for climate extremes. That's an
1:35:39
organization that's working to
have no
1:35:41
Adam Curry: idea where they put
the classical piano under this
1:35:43
guy. I mean, it goes away. But
it's very, it's an odd choice
1:35:46
Unknown: with extremes. That's
an organization that's working
1:35:49
to reduce Australia's economic,
social, and environmental
1:35:52
vulnerability. The news is the
US Navy looking into researching
1:35:57
something called solar radiation
modification or modification on
1:36:02
blocking? What exactly is that.
1:36:05
So this has been well understood
for a very long time. Yeah,
1:36:09
indeed, same processes we see
when a volcanic eruption occurs.
1:36:14
And sulfate aerosols are
injected into the stratosphere,
1:36:19
the high levels of the
atmosphere, and they reflect
1:36:22
sunlight, and they help cool the
planet for a short period of
1:36:25
time. The problem is, you can't
really control it. So where you
1:36:29
emit the sulfates, spreads. And
if you wanted to use it to
1:36:35
offset global warming, there's
the too trivial matter of
1:36:40
needing to do it, or wherever
you need to actually be emitting
1:36:45
aerosols into the stratosphere
for very long periods of time.
1:36:49
And when you stop, the climate
responds back to the warming
1:36:55
level you would have had had you
never done it in the first
1:36:59
place. So it is a viable
technology in principle, but
1:37:04
it's much much simpler just to
reduce emissions of greenhouse
1:37:08
gases.
1:37:10
Ideally, that is what we would
like. All of us would like to
1:37:14
have happen. But it's possible
scientists can actually have
1:37:17
this done on a scale that could
reduce global warming. What
1:37:22
would it take even?
1:37:23
I would take literally many
hundreds of airplanes flying and
1:37:29
injecting sulfates into the
stratosphere on an ongoing
1:37:33
basis. See an immense
engineering challenge. And it
1:37:40
sounds so simple.
1:37:45
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we need to
stab rose Blofeld. should do
1:37:50
this the James Bond. Yeah, I
have one global warming carbon,
1:37:56
Adam Curry: I have a companion
to this clip.
1:38:00
John C Dvorak: As a companion,
because another guy was, you
1:38:03
know, Bill Gates wants to do
this to know Bill
1:38:05
Adam Curry: Gates is doing this.
He is doing this.
1:38:09
Unknown: But he should be. He
should
1:38:10
John C Dvorak: be arrested
immediately if he's doing this.
1:38:13
So there's
1:38:14
Adam Curry: a new term I had not
heard of, maybe I do we just
1:38:17
missed it. Rubisco Are you
familiar with Rubisco? Now what
1:38:22
does it mean? Okay, Rubisco?
Well, there's Rubisco and
1:38:25
Rubisco foods. Rubisco is an
enzyme. I'm reading from
1:38:31
Wikipedia involved in light
independent or part of
1:38:34
photosynthesis, including the
carbon fixation
1:38:37
Unknown: synthesis. Yeah.
1:38:39
Adam Curry: When I say synthesis
synthesis, I mean in Europe,
1:38:44
John C Dvorak: by which
atmosphere it made me the way
1:38:46
they pronounce it,
1:38:47
Adam Curry: by which atmospheric
carbon dioxide is converted by
1:38:51
plants and other photosynthetic
organisms to energy rich
1:38:53
molecules such as glucose, a
word a term I'm hearing too much
1:38:57
of these days. So this is the
the crap that plants make. But
1:39:04
then we have Rubisco foods,
which is quite the multinational
1:39:09
Rubisco foods, make Rubisco
plant protein, a plant protein,
1:39:15
which is stored in all green
leaves, it's responsible for the
1:39:18
process of photosynthesis, and
is considered to be the most
1:39:22
abundant protein present on
earth. So these guys,
1:39:27
apparently, let's
1:39:27
John C Dvorak: block out the sun
so you can keep this protein
1:39:30
from happening. So we all starve
to death. Let's kill all humans.
1:39:33
Adam Curry: So now the same in
the same special, this is part
1:39:37
of the solution. Obviously, we
don't need meat, we need to be
1:39:40
eating protein and Rubisco is
the way to go.
1:39:43
Unknown: Scientists describe
Rubisco as nature's most
1:39:46
dominant carbon dioxide fixing
enzyme and are very interested
1:39:50
in its role in the global carbon
cycle. But we've got Sailesh Rao
1:39:55
on the show to make this simply
enough for us to understand
1:39:58
hopefully, he's found Then the
executive director of climate
1:40:01
healers, a company that, among
many things, tries to help
1:40:04
people understand that we all
have the resources we need to
1:40:07
solve each of our global
problems. So it's a pleasure,
1:40:10
thank you for your time.
1:40:11
Thank you for having me. Before
1:40:13
we start, I just have to say
your website climate healers.
1:40:16
Org describes in fascinating
detail how you got involved in
1:40:20
environmentalism, starting with
the seeing a documentary by Al
1:40:24
Gore.
1:40:26
Adam Curry: Doesn't get any
better than that. This Jumoke
1:40:30
saw Al Gore's documentary in
2007. And he had to get into the
1:40:35
game,
1:40:36
Unknown: tell us a bit about
Rubisco how beneficial it is and
1:40:41
can be
1:40:41
it is plant protein. And it is
ubiquitous in the world. And to
1:40:48
me, it is a signal from nature
saying protein is everywhere.
1:40:53
So, to eat plants, you're gonna
get your protein because protein
1:40:57
is the building block of life.
Unless we're eating rocks, we
1:41:01
are going to get enough protein
in our diet.
1:41:03
Adam Curry: Oh, hold on a
second. This may be a new one.
1:41:07
I'm hearing rocks in our diet in
the future. Do rocks contain
1:41:11
protein? Tonight
1:41:13
Unknown: know of is a building
block of life. Unless we are
1:41:17
eating rocks, we are going to
get enough protein in our diet.
1:41:21
Day. So the plant proteins are
the best proteins for us to eat.
1:41:28
As human beings.
1:41:29
Researchers seem convinced that
Rubisco can rival meat and
1:41:34
affordability taste, ease of
production. So you agree.
1:41:39
I agree. It's made from you
know, alfalfa and simple. I
1:41:44
mean, it's made from leafy
matter, which is everywhere
1:41:47
leaves, right. And you can
literally eat greens and get
1:41:53
protein that is more protein and
broccoli per calorie than
1:41:58
John C Dvorak: four stomachs.
Sorry. So especially if you have
1:42:02
four stomachs and you're a
ruminant. Yeah, that's good for
1:42:04
you.
1:42:05
Unknown: But calorie, then there
isn't beef. You know?
1:42:08
Adam Curry: Whoa, whoa, let me
hear that one more time. And you
1:42:11
Unknown: can literally eat
greens and get protein that is
1:42:15
more protein and broccoli per
calorie than there isn't beef.
1:42:19
I think that's true. I'm gonna
find out, you know,
1:42:23
so, know that protein is
something that we don't have to
1:42:26
worry about.
1:42:28
Adam Curry: Don't have to worry
about it. Just eat your leafy
1:42:30
greens, your leaves, leaves and
bugs and rocks.
1:42:35
John C Dvorak: Because website
is got a okay. 1.5 ounces of
1:42:43
cooked beef is 106 calories to
811 grams of protein. Two cups
1:42:50
of cooked broccoli is eight
grams of protein. 1.5 ounces
1:42:55
versus two cups. No,
1:42:57
Adam Curry: no, it doesn't sound
right. A piece of broccoli
1:43:00
versus a nice juicy steak.
1:43:03
John C Dvorak: Was 1.5 ounces of
beef is hardly any. Okay, but
1:43:10
this
1:43:10
Adam Curry: this is what we're
up against.
1:43:12
John C Dvorak: It doesn't have
to battle the battle between
1:43:13
broccoli and bacon. We don't
have to try to fool people with
1:43:16
fake information to get them to
eat broccoli.
1:43:21
Adam Curry: Have you talked to a
four year old?
1:43:25
John C Dvorak: Oh, there you go.
1:43:26
Adam Curry: Yes. Sorry, Mimi.
This is about the time Mimi's
1:43:28
head falls over.
1:43:30
John C Dvorak: She's already
slipped.
1:43:31
Adam Curry: I can't take it
anymore. All right, you
1:43:36
John C Dvorak: had something?
Well, my only clip is about the
1:43:38
carbon capture. I see I
misspelled carbon and to Karen
1:43:43
and so Alright,
1:43:43
Adam Curry: so with the sea
heels right.
1:43:47
John C Dvorak: And this is a
classic irony is is that
1:43:51
actually there's irony in all
these solutions because of the
1:43:54
because at the end of this
report, you'll hear what it is
1:43:57
Unknown: a $1.2 billion deal for
giant vacuum cleaners. The Biden
1:44:02
administration is pouring that
money into new projects that aim
1:44:05
to suck carbon out of the air.
The Energy Department says the
1:44:09
funds will go to two
demonstration projects in Texas
1:44:13
and Louisiana. They will use
chemicals to capture carbon
1:44:16
dioxide from the air and then
store it underground or use it
1:44:20
in industrial materials like
cement. Energy Secretary
1:44:24
Jennifer Granholm said the
initiative will remove more than
1:44:27
2 million tons of carbon dioxide
annually. But critics call the
1:44:30
approach extravagant because of
the high cost of current air
1:44:34
capture technology. And the
process itself consumes large
1:44:38
amounts of energy
1:44:44
Adam Curry: it's like hydrogen
1:44:46
John C Dvorak: puts more into
the atmosphere than it takes
1:44:48
Adam Curry: out. This is so
good. And people are insane.
1:44:52
misbranding it's usually called
the giant Hoover and a giant
1:44:56
vacuum cleaner make it
international giant Hoover.
1:44:59
John C Dvorak: So he's gonna job
over a billion dollars in his
1:45:02
project that'd be good for
Texas, I guess.
1:45:04
Adam Curry: Oh my goodness.
Well, you
1:45:05
John C Dvorak: live in that
neighborhood Washington,
1:45:07
everything you'd be dead. These
plants need the carbon dioxide.
1:45:11
Adam Curry: In fact, back in the
day when the dinosaurs were
1:45:15
around, we had a lot more car we
need more garbage, huge
1:45:17
John C Dvorak: amounts, much
more carbon dioxide over 2000
1:45:21
parts per million. I think, sir
Jean
1:45:23
Adam Curry: is wet. He's a
member of some club, like the
1:45:26
more carbon dioxide club.
1:45:29
Unknown: Yeah, and
1:45:30
John C Dvorak: he sends me
definitely have bigger weeds.
1:45:33
Adam Curry: He sends me
newsletters all the time. Like
1:45:37
See, we need much more carbon
dioxide he has snakes so he
1:45:41
knows a lot about carbon dioxide
a snake snake. Snakes need more.
1:45:45
We do have the solution which is
being rolled out in California
1:45:48
and you're here it comes neck of
the woods, because it's San
1:45:52
Francisco so it's just across
the bridge. And that is the robo
1:45:57
taxis. Which as but
1:46:00
John C Dvorak: before you get
the store I do it's just a
1:46:01
little interlude. Our mayor de
Blunden breed who can't seem to
1:46:07
run the city at all happened to
be just coincidentally I know
1:46:12
that she can't run the city. She
was in Maui during the fires
1:46:16
really now. Yeah. Under
reported.
1:46:20
Unknown: Do you have clip? No,
no, just that's really
1:46:23
underreported.
1:46:25
John C Dvorak: No, no, no clip.
Robo taxis
1:46:27
Adam Curry: in San Francisco
this morning.
1:46:29
Unknown: First responders and
cab drivers in San Francisco are
1:46:31
hoping to put the brakes on the
city's proposed expansion of
1:46:35
self driving taxis
1:46:36
at a time when they've proven to
be not up to the task would be a
1:46:42
grave grave mistake.
1:46:43
Tomorrow. The California Public
Utilities Commission is set to
1:46:46
vote on whether to authorize two
companies Cruz and Waymo. To
1:46:50
deploy self driving taxis across
San Francisco at all hours of
1:46:53
the day. Critics are raising
concern about the self driving
1:46:56
taxis already on the road.
1:46:58
They are still not ready for
primetime because of how they
1:47:01
have impacted our operations.
1:47:03
The fire chief has reported 55
incidents this year we're self
1:47:07
driving taxis interfered with
firefighters duties. This
1:47:10
includes not just unexpected
stops in front of our fire
1:47:13
stations not allowing our
vehicles to respond to
1:47:17
incidents.
1:47:17
Tomorrow's vote has been delayed
twice already with
1:47:20
representatives from both crews
and Waymo testifying they would
1:47:24
provide training for first
responders to familiarize
1:47:26
themselves with the self driving
vehicle
1:47:28
Adam Curry: how to put out a
battery fire Lesson One runaway
1:47:32
went
1:47:33
John C Dvorak: through this went
through and a self driving cars
1:47:36
were approved by the state and
the locals and so there's more
1:47:40
of them now.
1:47:41
Unknown: That way mo we're
working to ensure that our
1:47:43
vehicles stay out of the way of
active emergency vehicles
1:47:47
whenever possible.
1:47:48
Taxi drivers like Matthew Sutter
say they barely got through the
1:47:51
pandemic and now they say
they're fighting for their
1:47:54
survival with the possibility of
Robo taxis expanding
1:47:57
John C Dvorak: if there's no
limit on the amount of the robo
1:47:59
taxis I'm afraid we won't be
able to get through this. Ah
1:48:05
poor guys. You know they these
Robo taxis and there's a bunch
1:48:10
of them in the city. I see the
way mo ones all the times
1:48:13
Adam Curry: the approval clip is
short,
1:48:14
Unknown: California regulators
have cleared the way for Robo
1:48:17
taxis to offer pay rides in San
Francisco 24/7 Despite pushback
1:48:21
from city officials. Now two
driverless car service companies
1:48:25
will be competing for passengers
against ride hailing services
1:48:28
and regular taxis. There were
concerns over incidents where
1:48:32
the unmanned cars blocked
traffic and emergency vehicles.
1:48:36
There you go. Well, just last
night, big story local boots on
1:48:40
the ground.
1:48:42
John C Dvorak: There was they we
have one of those big
1:48:44
celebrations that call I don't
know what it's called, but the
1:48:47
whole park is fried and fried.
No, it's not pride is some some
1:48:52
commercial. Our version of code
Shala is oh goodness. And
1:48:58
there's two there's five or six
stages. And so when it broke up
1:49:01
last night, everybody wanted to
go home and a lot of these way
1:49:06
Mo's and the other one was
called and a jammed up to
1:49:08
traffic and they for some reason
decided to stop working. And so
1:49:12
the traffic jam could cause a
huge mess in the city because
1:49:14
these these things didn't know
what to do.
1:49:19
Adam Curry: Nice evil laugh.
1:49:21
John C Dvorak: It's hilarious.
1:49:22
Adam Curry: Well, and we might
as well play these two before we
1:49:25
take a little break here. DEF
CON, the most recent DEF CON
1:49:31
took place in Vegas against
always Vegas. And you know you
1:49:36
can already guess what the what
the big topic of conversation
1:49:40
was a DEF CON all about AI. And
of course, who goes to DEF CON
1:49:44
hackers, hackers, evil hackers
and FBI.
1:49:48
Unknown: So just how vulnerable
is artificial intelligence
1:49:51
technology like chat GPT This is
a question 1000s of hackers from
1:49:55
all over the country are trying
to answer at this year's DEF CON
1:49:58
hacking conference in Las Vegas.
I guess it's already sounds
1:50:01
scary part of the event this
year is a competition. To see
1:50:04
how those AI chatbots can be
manipulated for nefarious
1:50:07
purposes. The hackers will push
their skills to the limit to
1:50:10
expose any flaws in the tech and
an effort to help tech companies
1:50:14
make these chat bots a lot
safer. By the way,
1:50:17
Adam Curry: this is this is
gonna be such a boondoggle for
1:50:19
consultants. You can make so
much money on this. Um, this
1:50:23
John C Dvorak: been waiting for
since y2k?
1:50:25
Unknown: That's right. This is
all backed by some of the
1:50:27
leading tech companies in the
world, even backed by the White
1:50:29
House or Donnie O'Sullivan is in
Las Vegas at the conference for
1:50:34
more. This is so interesting, as
you said always an interesting
1:50:37
conference, but I bet a lot more
so this year with things like
1:50:40
Chet GPT
1:50:42
Adam Curry: It'd be funny if she
just said so have you gotten
1:50:44
laid yet in Vegas?
1:50:46
Unknown: Exactly poverty as a
year and hacking in Las Vegas as
1:50:52
this is
1:50:54
Adam Curry: exactly you heard
the joke. He made a joke and we
1:51:00
didn't even get it but
1:51:01
John C Dvorak: what was what was
the joke is the fear in hacking.
1:51:04
I think
1:51:05
Adam Curry: I gotta hear it
again.
1:51:06
Unknown: Actually poverty is
fear and hacking in Las Vegas so
1:51:12
this is
1:51:13
Adam Curry: you ruined my punch
line. You evil papi me?
1:51:17
Unknown: Exactly. You were in a
joke.
1:51:27
Adam Curry: myself up I'm seeing
in
1:51:29
Unknown: apps like chat GBT and
things like that are supposed to
1:51:32
have guardrails in place, right?
In terms of right so that they
1:51:35
don't spew haste, or
misinformation, or even kind of
1:51:39
give out dangerous information,
like for instance, instructions
1:51:42
on how to break the law or how
to commit a crime.
1:51:46
Adam Curry: Oh, man, this AI is
revolutionary. It gives out
1:51:51
information on how to break the
law. Oh, I need to hear more.
1:51:55
Unknown: Now. Some researchers
at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh
1:51:59
have already got Chuck GBT to do
things that
1:52:03
John C Dvorak: it shouldn't have
look. So let's write as a
1:52:06
tutorial. To hotwire a car. The
tools you need a screwdriver
1:52:11
similar tool locate the ignition
assembly, all this kind of stuff
1:52:14
you can find us on the internet.
But certainly these chat bots
1:52:17
are not supposed to tell you
things like this, just
1:52:19
Unknown: like it's very early
days for this technology. It's
1:52:21
even earlier, right?
1:52:25
John C Dvorak: Imagine what why.
Why is it not supposed to if you
1:52:28
can find it, he said himself
that you can find it on the
1:52:30
internet this information why it
was so what why can't the chat
1:52:33
bot tell you? Why are they not
supposed to
1:52:36
Adam Curry: because he's a
consultant. That's his job is to
1:52:39
make sure that the chat GPT is
safe. That is guardrails, right?
1:52:42
Unknown: In terms of our
understanding of these
1:52:44
vulnerabilities. I am certain
that we will see many more
1:52:47
attacks like this in the coming
years. I don't know how to make
1:52:51
this technology robust to these
kinds of adversarial
1:52:54
manipulations.
1:52:58
So there you saw those
researchers, those professors
1:53:01
were able to get GBT to show you
basically how to hotwire a car.
1:53:06
They were also able to get GBT
and other apps from NASA and
1:53:10
Google to give instructions,
quote unquote, to destroy
1:53:13
humanity where AI apps gave long
list of all these ideas really
1:53:19
to blow up the world. Now
companies including the world,
1:53:23
Adam Curry: they've seen their
way like to blow up the earth. I
1:53:28
would like to see that demo,
please. Can you? Why blow
1:53:31
John C Dvorak: it up Earth from
the inside out? Can you? Can you
1:53:35
give me the blow bottom up and
the inside out?
1:53:37
Adam Curry: Give me the blow of
the World demo,
1:53:39
Unknown: please, at the AI apps
gave
1:53:42
long list of all these ideas
really to blow up the world. Now
1:53:45
companies including our opening,
say they've seen their research.
1:53:49
They're thankful, essentially to
the researchers for bringing
1:53:52
this to their attention and
acknowledged there is more work
1:53:55
to do. And as tests like this,
that are going to make AI safer.
1:54:00
Adam Curry: Oh, man. Okay, so we
had you know, this is
1:54:04
blockchain. We've already
analyzed that this is just a
1:54:07
marketing thing. Everyone,
everyone who says oh, we're
1:54:10
doing AI, their stock or their
or their market value has
1:54:13
doubled or triple. Yeah. And
1:54:15
John C Dvorak: if you didn't say
it, then you in your
1:54:17
presentation like apple? Yeah,
your stock went down. Yeah. And
1:54:20
you're penalized all they had to
do is say AI didn't have to do
1:54:23
anything.
1:54:24
Adam Curry: So what will so I
guess the two questions I have
1:54:26
for you is will there be what we
could probably come up with the
1:54:30
type of event that will dispel
all this that will show that
1:54:34
it's dumb and that it doesn't
work? I thought the the Google
1:54:38
barf mistake was enough but it
wasn't it How long will this
1:54:43
last this idiocy? It's complete
tripe.
1:54:47
John C Dvorak: I think it's
gonna last just as long as
1:54:48
blockchain I don't think it's
going anywhere. And I don't
1:54:52
think there's any incident
coming up that's going to do
1:54:55
anything about it.
1:54:56
Unknown: Well, maybe we should I
think we're spread die. Well I
1:55:00
mean, we
1:55:00
John C Dvorak: should be
celebrating that. I think that
1:55:03
just goes, fades, but it's not
going to be like, like a bad
1:55:08
thing. Even though I'm hearing
rumblings man said, Well, if you
1:55:13
say that you're full of shit,
you know, there's no such thing
1:55:15
and this is just bull crap. And
it's gonna go, you shouldn't say
1:55:18
it was I don't know if that is
going to
1:55:20
Adam Curry: happen if a certain
point someone has to show some
1:55:22
applications. I mean, all they
have is
1:55:25
John C Dvorak: the applications
are in the art.
1:55:28
Adam Curry: Yeah, okay. But I
mean, how does that work for for
1:55:32
a fortune 500 company?
1:55:35
John C Dvorak: I don't know that
it's going well, how does
1:55:36
blockchain work for a fortune
500? Company? Because
1:55:41
Adam Curry: that's my point is
at what point?
1:55:43
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but
nobody's nobody's demanded that
1:55:47
it disappear from the face of
the earth or anything, it's just
1:55:50
one of these things is going to
be it's going to be just, you
1:55:53
know, it's going to be used
where it can be used and not
1:55:55
use. It's just gonna be a thing.
I don't know what that is. But
1:55:58
it's going to be a hype. I don't
know. I just, I just don't see
1:56:01
it going away anytime soon. It's
not going to be a moment that
1:56:04
you're looking for.
1:56:05
Adam Curry: But will it be a
bubble? Or maybe it is a bubble?
1:56:09
I
1:56:09
John C Dvorak: don't know if you
can make it into a bubble.
1:56:11
Adam Curry: It's not believable.
1:56:13
John C Dvorak: It's not. It's
not Bubblicious.
1:56:17
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your
1:56:19
currency in the morning to you
the man who put the seat in the
1:56:22
COVID walk back please say hello
to my friend on the other end
1:56:25
ladies and gentlemen, it is Mr.
Joy
1:56:30
John C Dvorak: to use random
Korean demonio schwarzsee Bucha
1:56:32
the graphene near subs in the
water all the names a nice out
1:56:35
there in the
1:56:35
Adam Curry: morning to the
trolls and the troll room.
1:56:37
Hello. They're trolls. Let's
count you we never should have
1:56:44
started early 1702. We're low.
We're low. We're even low by
1:56:48
Sunday standards now. We're low
by Thursday standards.
1:56:55
Unknown: were low. We're,
1:56:56
Adam Curry: we're low. We're not
Bubblicious. Well, the trolls
1:57:00
that are here we welcome you and
we appreciate you being here.
1:57:03
They hang out at troll room.io
where you can listen to the no
1:57:06
agenda stream.com 24 hours a
day. Sometimes distributed by
1:57:12
via RSS and the fediverse. And
ooh, what are we drinking? I
1:57:16
need something to drink. What
are you drinking?
1:57:17
John C Dvorak: Well, this is Hey
song SASB Marilla from China.
1:57:23
Adam Curry: Hey, Song Sass,
perilla. Chinese. dreck. What is
1:57:28
this that you know, it's
1:57:29
John C Dvorak: delicious. It's
real. Sasebo real as opposed to
1:57:32
really sell in the United States
as root beer, which is a
1:57:35
combination of artificial
flavors and some sass, Perilla
1:57:39
root.
1:57:40
Adam Curry: I shall have to go
get some of that later at the
1:57:44
Schiphol Plaza right across from
my hotel,
1:57:47
John C Dvorak: which is to have
a Chinese store you might find
1:57:50
it. It's a
1:57:50
Adam Curry: big shopping center.
Do you know what their slogan
1:57:52
is? It's the big slogan that's
right out on in big neon.
1:57:56
John C Dvorak: We big store.
1:57:58
Adam Curry: Almost skip Hall
Plaza. Enjoy it. Now is the
1:58:02
time.
1:58:05
John C Dvorak: Wow, hard sell.
1:58:08
Adam Curry: I think it's better
with the accent. Enjoy. It's not
1:58:10
always the time come here to the
Schiphol Plaza, please get back
1:58:15
to the trolls, TROLLS. You can
also listen in one of those
1:58:20
dubious modern podcast apps
which have transcripts and
1:58:25
stuff. And also you can listen
live to the stream. Man, you
1:58:29
could be listened to all kinds
of crazy below the radar stuff,
1:58:34
go to podcast apps.com. We're
recommending pod verse this
1:58:38
month, because it's still the
only one that has an actual
1:58:41
alert when we send out the bat
signal. But there are many more
1:58:44
that have the chat and the live
feature. So give a
1:58:48
John C Dvorak: piece of piece of
pod verse, you know, get a
1:58:52
couple points was
1:58:54
Adam Curry: awesome. You know,
it's interesting, you say that,
1:58:57
without naming names. There are
some journalists who do news
1:59:01
podcast who are strategic
advisors. And both Dave Jones
1:59:08
and I have been offered this but
it's pretty well known. We do
1:59:10
not accept anything from these
companies. We're not interested
1:59:14
in that. We're doing this for
legacy and love. I knew that
1:59:19
would get a laugh out here. But
it's true. We have zero we have
1:59:24
zero percentage of any of the of
the apps. So it's like the show,
1:59:29
you know, so we can be honest.
Okay, man, I'm all I'm vying for
1:59:36
John C Dvorak: us to know
traveling the world VIP.
1:59:38
Adam Curry: I want the Nobel
Peace Prize for podcasts. You're
1:59:41
getting it who knew needs
anything else in that I'll be
1:59:45
I'll be hungry and set. You can
also follow us on the fediverse
1:59:49
at no agenda social.com where
you can follow Adam and nogen
1:59:53
the social.com Jhansi Dvorak at
no agenda social.com and the
1:59:56
purge has begun. So if you want
one of those swag He no agenda
2:00:01
social.com addresses, that
pretty much does not connect to
2:00:04
anywhere in the fediverse
because we've been blocked. Stay
2:00:06
tuned, we'll let you know when
that is available. So just like
2:00:11
podcasting 2.0 no agenda does
not take any points, or any
2:00:16
commercial money or creepy
corporate cash from anybody. So
2:00:20
we are very honest, in our
opinions about our the products,
2:00:25
we like to use the products
we've talked about, whether
2:00:28
they're good or bad, and we can
be completely honest, and we do
2:00:31
the same with, with everything
our producers give to us or send
2:00:35
to us under the value for value
model where you can contribute
2:00:39
time, talent or treasure. And
one of the big, beautiful pieces
2:00:43
of time and talent is the is the
art that we receive from our
2:00:48
many artists who do this in a
competitive fashion. But they're
2:00:52
all there. They're all friends
will recall that they all love
2:00:56
each other coopetition I think
is what it's called. And they
2:01:00
compete to have the winning
piece of art for each individual
2:01:04
episode. And we love it because
it shows up in the in the
2:01:08
podcast app says something new,
it's great. It's fresh art, we
2:01:11
can send that out on social
networks, people take note of it
2:01:13
like it's another piece of
valuable content, and we
2:01:16
appreciate it very much. And we
would like to thank the one and
2:01:19
only Darren O'Neill for bringing
us the artwork for episode 15 at
2:01:24
which we titled coup Mapp coup
as in coop, co up? Well, I got a
2:01:29
note about that, from one of our
insider producers at the
2:01:32
Department of State.
2:01:36
John C Dvorak: And I'm going to
read it to you. This is our
2:01:38
bonus content
2:01:39
Adam Curry: bonus content along
with the Powerball dude. I was
2:01:43
in the same daily meeting with
the same general and State
2:01:45
Department dude today he sent me
a note previously, and it's all
2:01:50
about Ukraine and stuff. The
state dude brought another
2:01:56
department of state dude, to
give an overview of the African
2:01:59
Kuiper Belt. The guy's map name
literally was cool map. I didn't
2:02:06
have I didn't have the guts to
say in the morning to the guy. I
2:02:11
was just listening to because I
was just take a chance. I was
2:02:16
just listening to the best
podcasting universe with the
2:02:19
same show title. Perhaps he's a
producer, perhaps your analysis
2:02:23
is just that good. It is, I
think, I think we're influencing
2:02:28
the government. Time. I've
always I've always felt that.
2:02:32
But now it's we've got a mole in
the State Department. The COO
2:02:37
map there you go. So Darren
O'Neill brought us this
2:02:40
fantastic I liked it a lot. You
had an issue with it for a
2:02:42
specific reason. It was a four
pack of Duracell CB C batteries,
2:02:47
I think it would be C didn't
look like C or D C or DS and it
2:02:52
had the Coppertop look and had
no agenda on it instead of
2:02:55
Duracell of course guaranteed 33
years in storage and it was a
2:03:01
you know like one of those
plastic packs and it almost
2:03:04
didn't pass because you hate the
actual product.
2:03:09
John C Dvorak: I do and I tell
you why. I've definitely found
2:03:12
this online guy who has a
battery nut who turned me on to
2:03:16
all Macs and Fuji batteries
which is the ones I ordered now.
2:03:21
All Macs are harder to find but
Fujis are always been around
2:03:26
because every time I put buy
those dura cells from Costco,
2:03:30
no, I put them in some device or
other I come back a month later
2:03:33
and they're in there they're
exploded there. I have to clean
2:03:36
out debris goo that's in there
it's a mess. Those batteries are
2:03:40
garbage. I do not like them. I
have photos I take photos I
2:03:44
posted them every once in a
while Duracell batteries don't
2:03:47
hold up and again then they did
they burst they go to something
2:03:51
they burst inside product and
you have to clean out the mess
2:03:54
and hopefully we still get a
good connection. I've never had
2:03:57
an all Max battery do that ever
2:04:00
Adam Curry: number years all Max
a ll ma si s Amen
2:04:04
John C Dvorak: no al lmax all
max
2:04:07
Adam Curry: or max never heard
of the product. Do you have a
2:04:09
couple points of that
2:04:12
Unknown: I wish
2:04:14
Adam Curry: all Macs the okay
all Macs from now on is the
2:04:17
battery
2:04:19
John C Dvorak: Fuji is also
makes a terrific product. I had
2:04:21
to go with Fuji recently because
Costco because Amazon stopped
2:04:27
carrying the Olmecs huge pack
you could buy for like oh
2:04:30
dollars.
2:04:31
Unknown: Oh no. That hurt me.
Oh, well.
2:04:33
Adam Curry: I'm going to I agree
with you even just leaving the
2:04:36
batteries in their packaging for
too long. They start to sweat
2:04:40
the Duracell. So I've had I've
had that happen
2:04:43
John C Dvorak: yeah, they need
to get their act together go
2:04:45
with QC
2:04:47
Adam Curry: with cuse Oh quality
control. Yes. Yeah. Well, that's
2:04:52
exactly the battery Elon uses in
the Tesla, isn't it? He just has
2:04:55
a whole bunch of those double
A's. Some like that. Anyway,
2:05:01
thank you very much Darren.
We're happy to see you how to
2:05:04
win Where's Darren on the
leaderboard right
2:05:07
John C Dvorak: up there he's the
long term that perpetual a long
2:05:10
term leaderboard okay like
lifetime he's way he's near the
2:05:14
top I mean we have here's the
list of all time does you know
2:05:19
all the show Oh, he's number
three that they're rats number
2:05:21
one Martin date JJ is number two
and Darren is number three
2:05:24
Darren bringing up the rear door
in number four. We haven't heard
2:05:27
from him or more people comic
strip blogger.
2:05:32
Adam Curry: Comics bloggers Is
he right? He's number five all
2:05:35
time leaderboard. 2023 is
capitalist agenda networks
2:05:39
correct to record tend to kneel
no podium for her. Dame Kenny
2:05:43
were clearly misogynist no
chicks in the top three
2:05:48
John C Dvorak: well, they just
came in late I will say this I
2:05:50
did use the art from comic strip
blogger for the newsletter
2:05:53
that's you use the bots No, we
had a nice piece of a robot
2:05:58
eating people and it's obviously
AI and I have to say this he
2:06:07
does have a nice he has good
taste in in choosing the AI art
2:06:12
which is which is a skill and
his what he picks is good so I
2:06:17
mean I'm I'm kind of leaning
toward we're going to have to
2:06:20
give in one of these days and
use AI art for our main piece
2:06:25
I'm
2:06:25
Adam Curry: sure we've used it
without knowing already.
2:06:27
John C Dvorak: Well that could
happen but most of the stuff you
2:06:30
can spot there's only two or
three companies that do it and
2:06:33
they all have certain Yeah
little indicators you can look
2:06:36
at mid journal I think he's
using mid journey or mid journey
2:06:39
Adam Curry: you can pick out of
a crowd that's pretty easy to
2:06:41
see mid journey
2:06:43
John C Dvorak: this I believe
this piece was mid journey but
2:06:46
if it wasn't I'd like to know
2:06:47
Adam Curry: which he recently
said and we find this it was the
2:06:50
robot eating
2:06:51
John C Dvorak: the people but
see I don't see it I could go
2:06:58
back
2:06:59
Adam Curry: page was it it was
on the last shows art Now wasn't
2:07:03
that maybe the show before that.
Before that it was three shows
2:07:10
ago you really went it was a
stretch for you went way back on
2:07:12
that one. I do that yeah.
2:07:15
John C Dvorak: I look for the
best possible piece for the
2:07:17
money I will go out of my way.
2:07:22
Adam Curry: Other pieces use for
consideration Well it was nice
2:07:26
to see dirty Jersey whore tried
to slip in his Pabst Blue Ribbon
2:07:30
with correct divorce expelling
Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, no, that's
2:07:33
nice dry nice lay or any any
also brought in the Gatorade
2:07:39
thing? We already done Gatorade
before.
2:07:43
John C Dvorak: You know the we
have a couple times. Yeah,
2:07:45
Adam Curry: so we've done that.
I don't think we actually have
2:07:48
the, you know, like trans Maoism
flags now. That's It's not
2:07:53
funny. It's like, you know, it
was okay. Sir Schug fo diddley
2:08:00
put.
2:08:01
John C Dvorak: I liked us the
IBM IBM IBM piece by Schug but
2:08:06
it wasn't gonna get picked. I
just liked it. That was cute.
2:08:09
Yeah,
2:08:10
Adam Curry: yeah. Cute. Cute.
doesn't bring home the bacon
2:08:13
John. Cute. Cute now um, that
was it. There was not a great
2:08:17
offering. But that's okay. I can
see that already. We've got a
2:08:20
lot of gay up there. Can we do
more Obama stuff. Don't do that.
2:08:26
It's not gonna get chosen.
Anyway, it is just part of our
2:08:29
value for value model where
we're very honest about the
2:08:31
products because we don't get
paid. What is cool is a lot of
2:08:36
these images go to the no agenda
shop no agenda shop.com. Again,
2:08:41
not our shop. Not our cloud, not
our circus, not our shop. And
2:08:49
the artists deal directly with
the no agenda shop dude over
2:08:52
there. They print up hats, T
shirts, etc. And then from time
2:08:55
to time we get a donation
whenever it works out but it's
2:08:59
all between it's a part of how
no agenda nation works. It's all
2:09:01
value for value. They figure it
out. I was wearing my AC JCD t
2:09:06
shirt today. While I was still
wearing it while I was prepped.
2:09:09
Yes a good shirt. Anna. Tina
took a picture of me looking
2:09:12
really mad for some reason. Or
she said no. You were
2:09:15
concentrated and I look like
mad. And people like I need that
2:09:19
shirt. Give me that shirt. I
need the shirt. Okay, no agenda
2:09:23
shop in multiple columns.
2:09:25
John C Dvorak: Take it off your
back and give it to him. No
2:09:26
Adam Curry: way. No way. I sent
him a link to no agenda shop.com
2:09:32
which is fantastic. Thank you
again Darren O'Neill. Now let's
2:09:35
go to the treasure part of our
donation segment. Remember, this
2:09:39
is where we have our special
interview coming up and we kick
2:09:42
it off with Vikon David Rosa
from Clarkson Michigan Wow, this
2:09:47
is an interesting oh he Oh, a
show number donation. 1581. This
2:09:53
does not happen very often. Of
course we get up in these higher
2:09:56
numbers and you don't expect it
but he says Dear John and Adam,
2:09:59
please Stop this humble donation
to the best podcast in the
2:10:02
universe. I recently stumbled
across some savings bonds that I
2:10:06
purchased 30 years ago the great
they were long forgotten, so I
2:10:10
decided to share my windfall
with my favorite podcast. Well,
2:10:14
how about that? I have no jingle
requests, but I would appreciate
2:10:18
having my two daughters who are
instead named back on show 1500
2:10:22
be black deigned since they were
missed in the show. 1500 mayhem
2:10:27
this is kind of nice. Even you
know, did he let that slip Let
2:10:30
us slide on that. And now he's
coming good with it. As a quick
2:10:33
reminder, their names were Lucy
and Eva Rosa and they should be
2:10:36
deemed as Lucy Rosa dame of the
100 100 for the name of the 104
2:10:42
I guess is how I pronounce it.
And Eva Rosa dame of the twisted
2:10:46
Wonderland. Thank you both for
your continued work. I look
2:10:48
forward to celebrating the next
major milestone with you, your
2:10:51
brother in Christ. Vikon David
Rosa. Thank you, brother. We
2:10:55
appreciate that. That's very
kind of nice of you to do that
2:10:58
for your daughters. And what do
you think a savings bond
2:11:02
purchase 30 years ago is
actually wouldn't be worth less
2:11:05
now than then the money was
well,
2:11:07
John C Dvorak: they continue to
collect interest as far as I
2:11:10
know. Does it does it interest
outpaced? 3% interest? I think
2:11:14
it could be a lot of money.
2:11:16
Unknown: Well, apparently, it is
to me, it looks good. I
2:11:20
John C Dvorak: was a kid they
used to promote these things.
2:11:22
And they stopped all over.
2:11:23
Adam Curry: My grandparents gave
me a couple of one point in my
2:11:26
life. You know, here's a savings
bond kid. Thanks, grandpa.
2:11:30
John C Dvorak: You put it how to
do a checkbook anymore. Why
2:11:35
would you balance a checkbook?
How to write a check. That's
2:11:37
another loss kill.
2:11:39
Adam Curry: Now you just do
that. I would write a word Zell
2:11:42
baby Zell. That's what we use.
2:11:46

2:13:28
Adam Curry: Yes. So we brought
some some cash. We didn't have
2:13:35
there was a two parter. But the
bottom line is when you get
2:13:39
money out of the ATM here at the
airport, which is part of the
2:13:44
problem, but it's an ATM, and
you're getting money from your
2:13:47
US bank account. Guess what the
exchange rate is?
2:13:53
Unknown: probably wrong. At 131.
Looks like 131 says
2:14:01
Adam Curry: 20 cents higher than
the actual exchange rate is
2:14:05
John C Dvorak: at low. Well it's
even more than that. I think by

today's rate because they
supposed to change it as much be
2:14:10
fluid. I'll tell you what it is.
2:14:12
Adam Curry: Isn't 1091 away or

one is from Well, this was from
Cassandra fair, and we
2:28:45
mistakenly gave her a
knighthood, even though it was
2:28:49
intended for her husband, Mike
Reuter. I think that's how I
2:28:52
pronounce it. Who turned her on
to the no agenda show last year
2:28:55
and they religiously listen. The
day after each episode Mike
2:28:58
turns 59 on August 10, and our
10 year wedding anniversary is
2:29:01
August 31. And I never had a
fight. My husband is a great man
2:29:06
who was stuck by me through many
health issues. He also makes me
2:29:09
laugh every day we both enjoy
your show so much. It was about
2:29:12
time you became a night I would
appreciate birthday wishes and a
2:29:15

2:41:28
John C Dvorak: you have to tell
me. It's Morning Joe. No cheat.
2:41:34
Adam Curry: Did told you didn't
want to know who was who okay
2:41:42
John C Dvorak: I've got the spy.
We actually least do this. Yeah,
2:41:45
this just by spying the spy.
Yeah, I
2:41:48
Adam Curry: got some of that
caught. We
2:41:49
John C Dvorak: caught the one
spy we finally get a spy in
2:41:51
there. They caught him
immediately. CIA's got a mole.
2:41:56
Unknown: China may have caught a
US spy. The communist countries
2:42:00
saying so. And the American CIA
has said it's developing its
2:42:04
network in the communist
country. Here's NTDs Tiffany
2:42:07
Meyer with more
2:42:08
Beijing says it's found an
American spy in its midst
2:42:12
surnamed zone, the Chinese
national is under arrest on
2:42:16
suspicion of spying for the US
Central Intelligence Agency or
2:42:19
CIA. The news follows recent
word from the agency that it's
2:42:24
working to rebuild its spy
network inside China. Here's
2:42:28
that clip from CIA director
William Burns
2:42:30
on micro about a decade ago the
CIA rolled up the China rolled
2:42:34
up a lot of CIA operations in
China. A dozen or more CIA?
2:42:39
Adam Curry: Sounds like he's
crying.
2:42:42
Unknown: Yes, the host. Oh, I
2:42:45
Adam Curry: was gonna say that's
not burns.
2:42:48
Unknown: China rolled up a lot
of CIA operations in China. A
2:42:51
dozen or more CIA sources were
arrested or worse executed. Have
2:42:58
you rebuilt?
2:43:00
Yeah, we've made progress and
we're working very hard over
2:43:04
recent years to ensure that we
have a strong human intelligence
2:43:09
capability to complement what we
can acquire through other
2:43:12
methods.
2:43:13
Over a decade ago Beijing killed
or detained over a dozen see a
2:43:18
sources. One of them was shot in
front of his coworkers in the
2:43:21
courtyard of a sticked building
inside China. Back to the latest
2:43:25
arrest. China says the newly
captured alleged spy had worked
2:43:29
from industrial group linked to
the Chinese military. The group
2:43:33
sent zing to Italy to further
his studies. But while there he
2:43:37
reportedly got acquainted with a
local CIA agent, the report
2:43:41
refers to the US agent as Seth
and goes on to say that Xang
2:43:45
later signed contracts with the
US intelligence agency and
2:43:50
exchange as promised larger sums
of money and a smooth US
2:43:54
immigration process for his
entire family. The statement
2:43:58
continues that Xang repeatedly
2:44:00
Adam Curry: women they signed
contracts now with despise
2:44:05
John C Dvorak: but it says this
is probably yours. They had like
2:44:09
four if you remember that we did
a story about 10 years ago I had
2:44:12
to see a
2:44:13
Unknown: vapor the deal that
they reorg
2:44:17
John C Dvorak: and instead of
having I guess they used to have
2:44:20
all these these field guys that
would solicit somebody and get
2:44:24
them working for them
individually. It was kind of off
2:44:26
the books and only known by that
one agent and they decided to
2:44:31
centralize a database because
they needed a database or got a
2:44:34
computer and that's how they
caught so they put put all the
2:44:37
spied listed despise that, you
know this this problem of law,
2:44:40
they got the list of all the
spies
2:44:42
Adam Curry: so dumb. The BBC had
a different version of that was
2:44:48
part two of this video. Let me
play play part two.
2:44:51
Unknown: The updated log gives
Beijing additional authority to
2:44:54
sniff out and punish acts that
it deems a threat to its
2:44:58
national security. Several US
officials have already expressed
2:45:02
concerns over the new counter
espionage law. At the same time,
2:45:06
tensions are still mounting
between Washington and Beijing.
2:45:10
The US Embassy in China hasn't
responded to the matter.
2:45:14
Adam Curry: The who announced
this is the CIA Come on, guys
2:45:18
got caught. Is that what they
did?
2:45:20
John C Dvorak: I don't know
where it came from. And TD
2:45:22
probably picked it off with
China's Chinese news.
2:45:24
Adam Curry: Here's BBC was a
version of a report.
2:45:27
Unknown: China says it's
uncovered a spy recruited by the
2:45:30
US intelligence service this
CIA, the state security ministry
2:45:34
said the Chinese national, known
only by the surname of zoom was
2:45:38
employed at a military
organization and was taken on by
2:45:41
the Americans during a work trip
to Italy. Our Asia Pacific
2:45:45
editor will Leonardo is with me
in the studio. Tell us more
2:45:49
about what China is saying about
this agent.
2:45:51
So yes, this is a statement from
the tiny security ministry. It
2:45:54
says this man called sung in his
50s, who worked for what's
2:45:57
described as a military
industrial group was sent to
2:45:59
Italy. And there he was alleged
to have met a US embassy
2:46:02
official by the name of Seth.
Piers, they lived it up together
2:46:06
in Italy, they went to dinner
parties and went on outings to
2:46:09
the opera together. wording in
the statement says
2:46:12
Adam Curry: the old gay spy
routine Hey, let's go to the
2:46:16
opera is to
2:46:17
Unknown: have met a US embassy
official by the name of Seth.
2:46:20
Piers. They lived it up together
in Italy, they went to a dinner
2:46:22
parties and went on outings and
went to the opera together. And
2:46:25
there's some interesting wording
in the statement. It says that
2:46:27
Zoom became psychologically
dependent and succumbs to
2:46:30
Western values. Seth is then a
sensitive offered zone a large
2:46:34
sum of money and immigration to
the US for himself and his
2:46:37
family and being signed an
espionage agreement to provide
2:46:40
sensitive material about Chinese
military wants back in China.
2:46:44
Once back in the country, he met
up with CIA agents as alleged
2:46:47
multiple times to provide what's
been described as a large amount
2:46:50
of cord intelligence. There's no
word and what that is. The
2:46:53
ministry said he was taking
compulsory measures against them
2:46:56
and will be handed to
prosecution services soon. And
2:46:59
that there's been no independent
confirmation and no word from
2:47:02
the US authorities. Although
it's unlikely that there'll be
2:47:04
speaking a lot on this topic.
2:47:06
Adam Curry: This configure in
the document confuses me even
2:47:10
more. So the guy went to Italy,
he lived it up with Seth
2:47:16
John C Dvorak: went to the OP
Euro says went to the opera went
2:47:19
to the opera opera together
where we were living it up.
2:47:23
Usually if I'm going to the app,
I'm not going with a guy.
2:47:27
Unknown: What is the state of
play between China and the US
2:47:30
when it comes to espionage?
2:47:32
Well, there seems to be a rare
detailed disclosure from China
2:47:35
even though Beijing has long
claimed foreign forces are
2:47:38
trying to undermine the country.
It recently expanded its
2:47:41
definition of espionage and made
it slightly more vague things in
2:47:44
the private sector, including US
firms and that sort of thing.
2:47:47
And it comes as you say, amid
heightened tensions between the
2:47:50
two great powers over trade over
military, we've had those
2:47:53
restrictions of chips to China
by the US authorities. And it's
2:47:57
also the latest accusation of
espionage from either side. So
2:48:00
last week, we had two US Navy
sailors arrested in California
2:48:04
for allegedly providing material
to Chinese authorities. And also
2:48:08
it comes a few months after the
CIA CIA director Bill Burns said
2:48:12
the agency was trying to expand
its Chinese network after a
2:48:15
catastrophic exposure event in
which they will spies were lost.
2:48:19
Adam Curry: This is just a
takedown to CIA. This is just
2:48:21
more like ah, CIA is no good.
They can't even get a guy go to
2:48:26
the opera to stay safe.
2:48:29
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the FBI
wants to job. Some Yeah,
2:48:32
something like that. You know,
the FBI is taken over the secret
2:48:35
services job. And also this I
don't know if I have a clip of
2:48:38
this. But you know, the shameful
I don't? Is that the current
2:48:43
situation in Ecuador? I do have
a clip, actually. Because that
2:48:48
guy was shot. It turns out now
they're asking for the FBIs help
2:48:53
about this assassination. Yeah.
And obviously this is a takeover
2:48:57
of Ecuador. We need to Ecuador
because of the oil. I think one
2:49:00
of our producers sent us some
information about what's going
2:49:02
on there did and this is like
what's the FBI doing in Ecuador.
2:49:06
And this is what again, brings
me back to my complaint about
2:49:09
FBI international the TV show by
Dick Wolf. When does the FBI
2:49:14
become this world police six
Colombian
2:49:17
Unknown: men are charged with
the assassination of an
2:49:19
Ecuadorian presidential
candidate. Officials say the
2:49:22
suspect and Wednesday shooting
are part of a drug trafficking
2:49:25
ring. The candidate had
campaigned on fighting crime and
2:49:28
corruption. A number of other
candidates have suspended their
2:49:31
campaigns in the wake of the
killing.
2:49:33
Adam Curry: Yeah, I have the
note about about the they called
2:49:35
the FBI they call the FBI not to
see it. They said hey, FBI, we
2:49:38
need your help. Come on in as
weird. I find it
2:49:44
John C Dvorak: peculiar this to
say the least. But I think they
2:49:47
were trying to take over
Ecuador. We've already got the
2:49:49
belt of Africa. And by the way,
I was looking into it. The belt
2:49:53
of Africa which does go from
coast to coast and all the
2:49:56
countries that are going to side
with Nigeria are all part of The
2:50:00
belt, the cool belt, which is
suspicious in itself, and of
2:50:04
course the Russians are somehow
there.
2:50:06
Adam Curry: How about the trans
African rail line? That China?
2:50:11
Yeah, well,
2:50:12
John C Dvorak: that was
originally going to go through
2:50:13
Central African Republic and
over to Cameroon. Now that's not
2:50:18
gonna happen i because Sudan is
part of this of the belt. So I
2:50:22
think that that part of it has
something to do with it, but I
2:50:25
have to Niger clips. Oh, hold on
a second of the Niger update,
2:50:30
and then a little ditty about
France.
2:50:32
Adam Curry: Yeah. Because before
we do that, so we had well,
2:50:41
that's weird. We had an Africa
jingle. Someone made Africa,
2:50:45
I'll play your Niger stuff along
second making plans for Niger
2:50:49
Unknown: West African nations on
Friday worked on plans for
2:50:52
possible military intervention
in Asia. The regional bloc also
2:50:56
pledged to to enforce sanctions,
travel bans, and asset freezes
2:51:00
under Giunta, which ousted
former President Mohamed Bazoom.
2:51:03
On July 26, after a summit of
its heads of state ICA was
2:51:08
ordered the activation of a
standby force for possible use
2:51:11
against the Ginta. It said it
had not given up hope of a
2:51:15
peaceful resolution to the
crisis but that all options
2:51:18
including military action were
possible. Nigeria's President
2:51:22
full out Enugu
2:51:24
Adam Curry: from the community
of this summit
2:51:29
Unknown: no is ticking of the
table,
2:51:35
including the use of force. It
is not clear how big the force
2:51:39
would be if it would actually
invade and which countries would
2:51:43
contribute. security analysts
said Ico was forced could take
2:51:47
weeks or longer to assemble
potentially leaving room for
2:51:50
negotiations. The Giunta has
said it would defend the country
2:51:53
against any foreign attack.
2:51:54
So there's still a lot of
unknowns. But this is a
2:51:57
significant next step, and
certainly an escalation of
2:52:02
tensions, at least between the
regional bloc and the offensive
2:52:06
block that seems to be forming
right now. Between Mali Burkina
2:52:10
Faso and Niger, specifically,
2:52:12
in the capital and yummy
residents condemned the military
2:52:15
intervention plan
2:52:16
plus ECOWAS needs to understand
what the people of various
2:52:21
member countries expect of it.
what is expected of ECOWAS is to
2:52:25
attack the causes of coup
d'etat, not the consequences.
2:52:29
Because the European Union and
the United States reiterated
2:52:36
concern about the conditions
under which Bazoom and his
2:52:39
family were being detained.
2:52:44
Adam Curry: Hold on. A little
longer. No, I know. I couldn't
2:52:49
find it.
2:53:01
John C Dvorak: Okay, yes.
2:53:05
Adam Curry: Sorry. I found it
though.
2:53:08
John C Dvorak: No punch. So
yeah, we're concerned about how
2:53:11
the other guy's being treated.
We didn't say anything about our
2:53:14
concerns about the place being
taken over
2:53:16
Unknown: No, no, we're not. So
here's part two.
2:53:20
Uranium rich Niger is a key ally
for the West in the fight
2:53:23
against Islamist militants in
the Sahel region until the coup,
2:53:27
it was also aligned with the
West after neighboring Mali, and
2:53:30
others turned against former
colonial power France, in favor
2:53:34
of closer ties with Russia.
France said late on Thursday, it
2:53:39
fully backed all the conclusions
of ECOWAS meeting, but it stayed
2:53:42
clear of outlining any concrete
support it could give to any
2:53:46
potential intervention.
2:53:49
John C Dvorak: So we booted
France out.
2:53:51
Adam Curry: Yeah, I think that
was part of the plan. I mean,
2:53:53
France needed for the uranium
because they still use maybe I
2:53:58
think used to be 70 bucks,
probably 55 60%. Atomic,
2:54:01
John C Dvorak: I think it's more
I still think it's over in the
2:54:03
70s 70s. So that's
2:54:05
Adam Curry: out of the gas
pipeline to this is why it's not
2:54:08
even about the Africa. It's
about Europe. We're just
2:54:10
screwing Europe.
2:54:11
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this cuts
off if the French were to buy
2:54:14
uranium they can buy it from the
Russians.
2:54:17
Adam Curry: Yes, thank you Hill.
2:54:19
John C Dvorak: And yeah, this is
France got screwed on the wheel.
2:54:24
I'm sure they were extracting
uranium for next to nothing.
2:54:27
Adam Curry: We will continue to
monitor this as we learn more
2:54:31
about Africa than we ever wanted
to know.
2:54:33
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I didn't
want to know anything.
2:54:36
Adam Curry: To two quickies that
we have to play just to get them
2:54:39
on record.

2:56:31
Solinsky firing every single
regional military enlistment
2:56:35
chief across Ukraine amid a
major corruption scandal.
2:56:39
Lindsey some of these officers
are accused of taking bribes so
2:56:42
people can dodge military
enlistment and the Lensky saying
2:56:46
the way they treat actual
Warriors is immoral.
2:56:50
John C Dvorak: A terrible
version of that story because
2:56:53
they interrupted it with a drone
strike. I have my stories now
2:56:58
much better. But I have another
clip that at least bring doesn't
2:57:02
bring her up.
2:57:02
Adam Curry: Yeah, brings in
leaves the drone strike intact.
2:57:05
Yes, Ukrainian
2:57:06
John C Dvorak: moves the drone
strike out and keeps this
2:57:08
corruption thing. What is going
on with these? anybody in their
2:57:11
right mind? They're bailing out
of the country?
2:57:15
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, yes. And
we're bailing out too. This is
2:57:18
the beginning. This is always
the Lensky.
2:57:22
John C Dvorak: Son of Ukraine.
2:57:23
Unknown: Ukrainian state
investigators have uncovered
2:57:26
some shady business deals at
business Erie recruitment
2:57:29
offices to paint the picture.
112 criminal cases have been
2:57:34
opened, exposing officials
allegedly making illegal money,
2:57:38
and they're also accused of
transporting new recruits across
2:57:42
borders to other countries. Now
how much money was actually
2:57:46
taken is still unknown. However,
all of this follows a scandal in
2:57:50
the Ukrainian city of Odessa. A
recruitment officials family in
2:57:54
Spain was found owning
properties worth millions of
2:57:58
dollars. The corruption scandal
comes at a time when Ukraine's
2:58:02
long awaited counter offensive
has been hampered by Russian
2:58:05
defense lines. Ukrainian
president Volodymyr Zelensky
2:58:09
quickly responded to the
corruption allegations and fired
2:58:13
all military recruitment
officers in the country. And he
2:58:16
said this
2:58:18
system should be run by people
who know exactly what war is and
2:58:23
why cynicism and bribery in
times of war constitute treason.
2:58:27
Adam Curry: This is a message
and I'm not exactly sure what it
2:58:30
is. But if it's about exposing
more corruption, there's a lot
2:58:34
to come. There's the entire
telegram channels filled with
2:58:39
high ranking Ukrainian officials
in foreign countries in Western
2:58:44
Europe in Austria. They've got a
boo god, he's very raw. They've
2:58:50
got Lamborghinis, Ferraris Rolls
Royces. They've got multimillion
2:58:55
dollar condos
2:58:57
John C Dvorak: thanks to the
American taxpayer.
2:58:59
Adam Curry: It's all our money
of course. So maybe this they're
2:59:02
finally winding this down. I
mean, Africa is heating up. This
2:59:04
has got to go. But how do we how
do we close it out? How do we
2:59:08
finish it?
2:59:09
John C Dvorak: They don't have
an exit strategy. We know that.
2:59:13
Yeah.
2:59:15
Adam Curry: No peace. What a
crazy idea. We could just have
2:59:20
peace.
2:59:22
John C Dvorak: Well, not with
Zelinsky there, they're gonna
2:59:24
have to do something about that
guy. Where's Halle Jones was his
2:59:27
legacy scenario.
2:59:29
Adam Curry: We'll have we'll
have peace. Oh, I know what's
2:59:33
going to happen to Zelinsky
2:59:36
Unknown: sucked into a jet
engine.
2:59:39
John C Dvorak: In a mood if He's
smart, he's going to go to start
2:59:43
Switzerland as fast as he can. I
2:59:45
Adam Curry: hear Madrid is the
new place to hang out. That's
2:59:48
where all the elites are Madrid
because Madrid is like you can
2:59:51
completely live in luxury in a
nice big town. It's
2:59:55
John C Dvorak: fun Madrid
2:59:56
Adam Curry: Madrid is that's
where a lot of the royal family
2:59:58
are hanging out now. Madrid
seems the place to be.
3:00:02
John C Dvorak: Okay. Well,
that's where he should go then
3:00:04
Adam Curry: Mr. Lensky out,
Vicki Newland puts in some new
3:00:07
people. They go for peace.
3:00:10
John C Dvorak: But they got a
weather here's what they have to
3:00:12
get but they can't just let
Solinsky escape and just leave
3:00:16
the very they gotta he's got to
be asked to buy some general who
3:00:21
some phony baloney ousting he's
going to flee to Madrid How
3:00:25
about the
3:00:26
Adam Curry: people how about the
people know that people
3:00:29
John C Dvorak: won't do
anything? No obviously he
3:00:31
wouldn't happen by now it's got
to be a general some guy and
3:00:37
then he's gonna get he's going
to escape narrowly escape and
3:00:41
end up in Madrid or wherever he
wants to go
3:00:44
Adam Curry: I don't I don't like
your scenario. I think jet
3:00:46
engine is much better. You've
been more fun
3:00:49
John C Dvorak: hoping people get
sucked into jet engines for over
3:00:52
a year you
3:00:53
Adam Curry: wait you wait it's
gonna happen. We got a jet
3:00:56
engine in someone's future
