Adam Curry: December 28 2023
This Year Award winning given
each media assassination episode
1620. This is no agenda, rolling
out the yellow flags and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here
in the region number six in the
morning, everybody. Adam curry
and
John C Dvorak: from Northern
Silicon Valley where everybody
agrees that perhaps the dumbest
show on TV and perhaps the worst
in the history of television is
the masked singer. I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Adam Curry: You got to talk to
Marty, because you already did
that opening.
John C Dvorak: I did it again.
Adam Curry: Why did you do it
again?
John C Dvorak: That show is so
bad. It needs to have been
people need to be reminded.
Well,
Adam Curry: what are you doing
watching it? Why you're even
anyway? Why are you even on
those channels?
John C Dvorak: I'm looking for
new stories. Wow, man.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, just say
no. Stay away from that stuff.
It's not healthy for you. Now
John C Dvorak: they have a whole
slew of spin offs.
Adam Curry: Hey, speaking of I
had a vision. had a vision. I
think I figured it out for
something you've been asking for
for a long time. Okay,
John C Dvorak: but wait, let me
ask a question in advance. Was
this vision in a vivid dream?
No.
Adam Curry: No, it was not in a
vivid dream. It was as I was
going to sleep last night. It's
it came over me like a warm
blanket.
John C Dvorak: You sure that was
it was a liquid?
Adam Curry: No. Come on, man. I
figured it out. I know how to do
it. The no agenda Podcast
Awards. Ah, it's
John C Dvorak: about time you've
come around,
Adam Curry: also known as the
goats. Okay, yeah.
John C Dvorak: You know, the
funny thing is, uh huh. That's
interesting. You'd say that
because goats is commonly used
in sports a lot. And it'd be
great a popular phrase about
greatest a decade ago, but I
don't know that it's been used
as an award base. No, no, I you
may have stumbled onto something
here that goats
Adam Curry: I told you a vision
the goats because of course, you
know, you have to you have to
have the award has to have a
name. So no agenda Podcast
Awards is one thing. And maybe I
don't know if we want to call it
the no agenda Podcast Awards, or
just the the Podcast Awards. But
our our award itself is called a
goat. Yeah, not the go t no, no,
not the goat cheese. No, the
goats. It's just the goats. Now,
here's how it works. Because
this is the most important part.
How do we differentiate
ourselves.
John C Dvorak: And I'm feel so
good about planting a seed.
Adam Curry: Well, like a little
mustard seed, it grew into an
enormous tree, John, you have
done your business.
John C Dvorak: Mustard doesn't
grow into a tree and go on.
Adam Curry: So we don't have
traditional categories. We just
have awards. And it is the
producers of the no agenda show,
which means you have to have at
least donated once doesn't
matter what amount. And we can
work on this later. But that's
just what in my in my vision,
the producers send in the
awards. And it's clips. So you
have to be able to clip and I'm
seeing awards such as Best vocal
fry in a podcast. Most use No,
no most words use of the word
right in a podcast. Funniest
handoff from Hey, hey, girl,
hey, hi, hey, hey, best
transition to an ad read gold,
best native ad? Gold, this, this
would be fantastic. This is why
people would love our awards.
What do you think?
John C Dvorak: I mean, we still
have no I have no immediate
complaints. We still choose the
award becomes it becomes. But I
don't want to deteriorate into
the raspberries. No,
Adam Curry: no, no, no, no. Hey,
the best vocal fry. That's not
easy to do in a podcast that
takes talent, especially
John C Dvorak: if you're going
to sustain it. Yes. So so and
they probably deserve an award
because they're going to be
going to ruin their vocal cords.
So
Adam Curry: the so the producers
send in their clips, their
nominees, we of course, like all
good awards, we do whatever we
want. And the way awards work,
we'll still we'll still have
some consultant come out and
say, Well, I've tallied all the
votes, you know, with a little
suitcase. You know, it's in
here. No one knows the results.
But of course, we know you know,
how it works. Of course, we know
the results. And then we do an
award show. And I think we can
we can do a pretty fun job with
that. And maybe we get some I
don't know. I mean, the
production of the show itself.
I'm not there yet, but Just the
basic concept. Is all of these
things that are that make
podcasting so unique?
John C Dvorak: Well, the thing
is, is it would be a there's no
categories. Be open ended. Yep.
And you can get given a word for
the longest podcast in the
history of podcasting. Well,
yeah, you I think we already
won. We
Adam Curry: were on deck for
winning the goat for that. Then
everyone gets a goat. You win
the goat and you can already
hear it'd be a goat head. Yeah,
of course. You know how that's
gonna work. It's obvious, you
know, it's about plastic.
John C Dvorak: It should be
plastic, a
Adam Curry: plastic goat. Yeah.
And I think there's plenty of
great nominations that people
can consent in. And but all
those things that, you know, the
most profane.
John C Dvorak: Oh, the guys who
can't stop cussing and stuff
Adam Curry: like that, you know?
Best. Best NAT pops.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well,
there's very few podcasts.
Right. And well, that's true,
but it does.
Adam Curry: We do a great job.
We do a great job. Ah, okay,
cool. Good. I'm glad you can
like that. I'm excited. I'm
excited. Hey, I'm
John C Dvorak: glad you came up
with it. That means you're on
board.
Adam Curry: I hope everybody had
a merry Christmas. I know that I
had a great Christmas. We had
one of the human resources and
our boyfriend here. That was
great. And I made double dip
depression slaves to for the day
after Christmas, which everybody
loved. If you've never heard of
that. It's a no agenda staple.
I've published the link to the,
to the recipe in the show notes.
Of course, the Dvorak family
celebrates traditionally on the
29th of December. No, actually,
John C Dvorak: traditionally, we
actually celebrate on the first
first of January, which is which
was done in the 14th and 15th,
or the 15th and 16th century by
the two doors, they would always
do it on the first and we feel
this is more traditional. We
might we believe in a
traditional Christmas. So we do
our gifts on the first of
January.
Adam Curry: And are they doing
it all at your place? Or where's
it taken? Everyone's gonna be
here. Oh, that's nice, Eric, as
well as you come on up from SD
John C Dvorak: now. Eric's got
his he says he's snowed in. Oh,
he won't be able to come down.
Of course, of course, to South
Dakota. Oh my god, we're
starting to talk like South
Dakota.
Adam Curry: That's a really he's
doing that now. No, not yet.
John C Dvorak: But it's coming.
Well, I
Adam Curry: thought I mean,
there's a lot of news,
obviously, I thought the the
funniest and the most
interesting and entertaining.
And I have some some clips is
the story that just tickles me.
We
Unknown: had some news just
coming in this morning, the New
York Times suing open AI, the
creator of chat GPT, and
Microsoft for copyright
infringement. The time says
millions of its articles were
used to train chat bots that now
compete with the times as a
source of information, the
papers, the defendants should be
liable for billions of dollars
in damages. Microsoft is an
investor in open AI and has
incorporated the technology into
its Bing search actual
big story. I don't know how they
thought they're gonna get away
with it. But
you've seen the New York Times
is maybe the biggest name in
journalism so far to come out
with this. But we've seen the
concern from the actors and the
writers when they were making
sure that eye protection was
written
out that her novel was one of
30,000 ingested into a loan.
Does she get paid for that?
Should she be paid for that? I
don't know the answer. Well,
the New York Times is it saying
yes, we use very strong
copyright laws in this country,
Adam Curry: very strong
copyright laws and well, that
what are you hemming and hawing
about saying bull crap? What are
you talking about? You see the
lawsuit?
John C Dvorak: I don't care
about this. If I didn't have to
see the lawsuit. What's the
damages? Tell me? Oh, no,
there's definitely no there's no
damn Oh damages? What are no,
there's no daily damages. What's
the damage? Name damage? Well,
okay.
Adam Curry: First of all, I've
looked at the lawsuit, which is
interesting, because you can see
that not just a couple of lines,
but like entire paragraphs are
literally just from the New York
Times reporting. What they're
saying is that Silicon Valley
companies are paying for news in
many countries, most notably
Canada. Navia. And I believe
Australia. And there's your
damages. So you're now taking it
for free and giving away for
free in the chat bots. I think
there's a case there. And you're
the one that said that this was
going to be the biggest lawsuits
of the of the all time would be
around this
John C Dvorak: kitchen. I can't
mock it. I'm not saying I didn't
say that. Because what Now, and
I went on about this before,
which is that you everybody
wants everything digitized, it
was going to be the great in the
70s and 80s. As all they talked
about the Giants information at
your fingers, tip information,
your fingertips, kind of muck,
the trend, and everything was
going to be digitized. And once
they Google in particular
started digitizing assorted
Microsoft than ever, we got all
up in Oh, they digitize my old
book from 20 years ago that I
haven't gotten 10 cents in
royalties from for the last
decade, but now I'm getting
ripped off. Bull crap. Right.
Adam Curry: But I think the New
York Times has a different angle
here. I
John C Dvorak: know what their
angle, you know, their angle is.
I'm not buying it still. I hate
to say that I'm gonna I'm not
gonna say it again.
Adam Curry: No, you really
shouldn't. Because it's just not
it's not I'm not gonna.
John C Dvorak: I'm not no, I'm
reckoning because I don't like
the phrase. But But what is
Adam Curry: interesting is fair
use, which is, you know, this is
what the AI companies are
claiming. And fair use is, you
know, it's probably about time
this is properly examined.
John C Dvorak: I understand the
fair use issue. And I think it's
an important one. But this idea
that they found a whole
paragraphs that were ripped off.
I'm not believing it.
Adam Curry: Absolutely true.
What are you talking about? It's
absolutely true. I went,
John C Dvorak: and here's the
reason you train the AI
yourself. You've done it, and
you end up pulling some full
graphs out. This is not the
normal thing that's going to
happen.
Adam Curry: Hey, why don't you
go sit with Microsoft, you
heathen? What are you why are
you on the side of these guys,
all of a sudden?
John C Dvorak: I'm on this side
of what's right. They
Adam Curry: that these large
language models are literally
taken they suck to hear stories
than just spouting and back this
and with no change.
John C Dvorak: If that's the
case, then yes, you have an
issue, but that's what
Adam Curry: I'm saying they have
these examples. In the lawsuit,
they're showing these example.
John C Dvorak: Yes, I know. But
I might believe in these samples
or
Adam Curry: look at grok. If you
if you ask grog tell me about
John C. Dvorak on Twitter, you
will say tweets that you
recognize word for word of
people saying You're horrible.
You will recognize the the exact
language this is this is what's
so interesting is that it is a
direct copy this direct copy.
John C Dvorak: Well, if what you
say is absolutely true, without
any fudging or grok for God's
say what a dog rat thing is,
then yeah, okay. Yes. Go knock
yourself out, but it's not going
to help things and what about
art? How you going to deal with
that?
Adam Curry: Well, what listen,
if you go on Twitter, you sign a
perpetual license over to x.com
x Inc. That they can do whatever
they want with what you post
there. So that's not a problem.
That's that you have already
given away a license for them to
suck that into grok. But the New
York Times has not given anyone
a license to suck that into
Google above copilot the
Microsoft and have that spit
back when you're writing a
PowerPoint present. I
John C Dvorak: wish you all luck
in the world in this lawsuit
Adam Curry: the the four points
that are substantive
John C Dvorak: you yeah okay.
Whose side are you on in this
lawsuit? I'm I'm
Adam Curry: on the side of the
New York Times. I think they're
right. I really do. Why would I
be on the side of stupid ai i
think it's stupid it's not
interesting. It's not
intelligent it's
John C Dvorak: stupid AI is not
intelligent Fishel stupidity as
is as
Adam Curry: it's a scam to get
you know to fill up compute
cycles it's bad for the
environment.
John C Dvorak: It is here's
let's see. So is Bitcoin mining
Adam Curry: I might add oh don't
get me started on things you
John C Dvorak: know nothing
about young man itch all I know
is I really started doing coin
it's gonna kill us all well,
Adam Curry: it'll kill you
first. A sack the two are
actually related. Because the
Bitcoin miners you know, there's
ASICs very specific chips that
they use for Bitcoin mining they
are they're all now looking to
creating AI chips which once
this AI bubble burst and
everyone figures out it's a
humongous stupid scam. These AI
chips will be turned right
around and be super efficient
for Bitcoin mining. It's gonna
be great because there's just
going to be all this compute
laying around that no one wants
to use more.
John C Dvorak: The ducks. Yeah,
there's animals that are going
to be hurt by this climate
change and my goodness caused by
all this oh my god, mind you
going to bed
Adam Curry: and get up again.
You're on the wrong side of
history.
John C Dvorak: You're on the
right side of history. Let's
Adam Curry: let's In the CBS
they had they had an interesting
conversation. Maybe we can mock
them.
Unknown: The New York Times has
just filed a potentially
important lawsuit against
Microsoft and open AI claiming
their artificial intelligence
chat bots are taking web traffic
away from the papers on website.
Senior Business and tech
correspondent Jolene Kent joins
us now and Jolene. Good morning
to you. Can
you dive in and tell us with
this out? Yeah, JB Good morning.
This is a real pivotal moment
for AI. The New York Times is
the first major media company to
sue Microsoft and open AI, the
maker of chat GPT for copyright
infringement, using millions of
times articles to train its chat
bots, which now compete and they
can compete directly with the
newspaper. Now, this complaint
was filed in the Southern
District of New York. And It
alleges that both companies are
taking a quote, free ride on the
times that massive investment in
its journalism by using it to
build substitutive products
without permission or payment.
Now the lawsuit specifically
names chat GPT and Microsoft's
Bing chat and says that while
they engaged in widescale
copying from many sources, they
gave times content particular
emphasis now Microsoft declining
to comment to CBS News, but open
AI did send us this statement
saying in part, we respect the
rights of content creators and
owners and are committed to
working with them. Our ongoing
conversations with the New York
Times have been productive and
moving forward constructively.
So we are surprised and
disappointed with this
developers
John C Dvorak: like that, always
like this. I'm surprised and
disappointed.
Adam Curry: Well, you know,
Apple is is now they've they've
released news that they are
exploring a ideals with news
publishers you want apple is
going to come out ahead on this
after being the laggard, because
they're just gonna go and
license it. And this This, by
the way, is not anything
intelligent. This just oh, it's
like a big database. Oh, give me
the latest news on this topic.
it'll spit it back. And we all
go whoo, whoo. Hey, I Whoo,
that's so impressive. They
continue this conversation, CBS
about the impact of the
lawsuits, which is what you'd be
interested in
Unknown: joing. Help me
understand what kind of impact
could this lawsuit have? Yeah,
depending on what the court
finds it could force AI
companies to change the way they
train their artificial
intelligence, which are called
those large language models,
that there are big legal
questions whether the facts that
make up the New York Times
reporting are even eligible for
copyright to begin with Harvard
Law Professor Lawrence Lessig
told me on the phone yesterday
that AI is use of the New York
Times reporting may actually
fall under the doctrine of fair
use, that's a legal defense that
are used copyrighted material,
maybe he's without permission
under certain circumstances.
Now, of course, this could
undercut the times his argument
against open AI and Microsoft,
by the way, guys, this is not
the first lawsuit we've seen
from copyright holders. We've
seen book authors, comedians,
major music companies, they've
all sued generative AI companies
for similar types of concerns
about how they're training our
models. And meantime, we've seen
other news media companies
strike business partnerships
with open AI to license news
stories, but it could be
billions of dollars of damages
on the line here,
Adam Curry: you guys, you guys.
So that's where the problem
comes in fair use, which is
interest is interesting to us,
too. I mean, this, us playing
this, we consider that to be
fair use, which I think we can
defend. But
John C Dvorak: but we're playing
this as a more traditional, yes.
Well established Fair Use
principles. Yes. Yes. Let's just
play the the thing that's going
on now with the AI is not
established as fair use
principles. So it has the
correct term and by a court.
Yeah. And I think if I think if
Lessig is, he's kind of go
ahead. Well, he's the guy who
started Creative Commons. I know
the ID. I know. I know. Pretty
much let everything be let the
information must be freezed and
grew
Adam Curry: up. That's not true.
I defend Creative Commons in
court and one. Yeah, Creative
Commons is not about Let
everything be free. It's no
John C Dvorak: but that's his
mentality. He would like it to
be freed. No. Creative Commons
does have some restrictions. And
you did win a case the
Adam Curry: case. First picture
first case,
John C Dvorak: there's a mate.
Yeah, you're a groundbreaker.
That's why everyone hates you
Adam Curry: that's why I'm poor.
You
John C Dvorak: stole MTV and
then you got this lawsuit and
you know, you're never gonna get
have friends. So so the design
is is that somebody stole a
photo of you when you were I
think smoking pot in a plane or
some I can't remember some
screwy. Yeah. And close use use
use. You totally took them to
court over there. I think with
some European publication.
They're just right. ag willy
nilly stealing stuff took it
off. You put a stop to it good
for you. I'd ever wanted to
congratulate you. Yeah. Well,
thank
Adam Curry: you for that. But
Lawrence Lessig back me up in
that. So he wasn't all I mean
the whole time.
John C Dvorak: I know Lord,
Lord, Larry Larry. Yeah, right.
Well,
Adam Curry: okay. Well, I know
him. I know him quite well.
John C Dvorak: He had lunch with
him.
Adam Curry: He, he's had a
sleepover at my house once Does
that count? Okay.
Unknown: It was really
fascinating reporting, because
the fair use doctrine of media
is one that is employed across
media industrialism, you know,
where you say, hey, there's
something that was reported by
another news organization, we're
going to show it to you. We're
going to credit that news
organization. It's a very legal.
It's
really, though about the
investment that these companies
buy into. Well, I think we have
to have a better understanding,
though, of how these all work.
Adam Curry: All right. They
don't even know themselves the
dummies. Have no idea. No idea.
There was just fun stuff out
there. What can I do while away
John C Dvorak: we just stopped
for say, we have to mention
we're working today. And we're
working on New Year's Eve and
all the show I was I would just
flip it around and maybe get a
last minute clip this one I turn
on the wood out number this show
on Fox where they have
Adam Curry: Wow, you went from
the the masked singer to
outnumbered No wonder you're
cranky.
John C Dvorak: So I'm watching
out number. There's not one
person on their sub Tammy Bruce,
who kind of you know, couldn't
be on vacation, but she's kind
of on vacation most of the time.
Does that note? Nobody? It's
just all, you know, leftovers.
It's terrible. Beatbox. We'll
put anybody on
Adam Curry: that we don't have a
beat Team. We don't have a beat
Team. That's That's why we need
the Podcast Awards. So we could
get a beat. We could take take
it, we could produce the show
and take the day off. That's
what we what is the point of the
no agenda Podcast Awards. So we
can take a day off and just roll
the tape and have a pre produce
John C Dvorak: show. That's how
we get into a separate and above
the Oh, wow.
Adam Curry: So I just created
more work for us.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you did
get. I was getting surprised.
Adam Curry: I just said it was a
couple of weeks before we leave
the AI thing that was something
else that I was gonna say about
this? Oh, yes. The Tony Blair
Institute, which came out with
its 10 policy priorities for
global leaders in 2024.
John C Dvorak: What the hell's
the Tony Blair Institute? Well,
it's
Adam Curry: clearly before, but
you know, they give advice to
leaders to Tony Blair's a player
Tony Blair. Oh, yeah, he's a
player.
John C Dvorak: He's a player.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: I mean, hey, look,
he's a lot smarter than we are.
He's making money off. bullcrap.
So number five policymakers
maintain momentum on AI, even if
even if public interest dips.
And he says Big changes are
Colet, the bottom here it is.
Big changes are coming, even if
they are not evident right now.
So policymakers should keep
working on the deployment and
regulation of AI. And in
particular act fast to ensure
access to compute capacity,
their country needs to compete.
So
John C Dvorak: what are these
big changes he's talking about?
If he if he says Big changes are
coming, he must have an inkling
of what these changes might be?
What are they?
Adam Curry: You know that he
doesn't need to say that he's
Tony Blair? But he's doing it?
John C Dvorak: Yes. No. So He's
clueless. He's just throwing out
memes. I know what he does
Adam Curry: is he sells you a
contract to Microsoft Azure.
That's what he's doing here.
Hello, public services. He's,
John C Dvorak: he's become a
middleman for Microsoft
services. Yes. Yes.
Adam Curry: And Google let us do
public service, six public
services start to serve the
people that I gotta read this
graph. Countries are
experimenting in different ways
with applying technology to
public services to make them
more user friendly, responsive
and efficient. But stop.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so when I
was a kid, and I was going to
University of California,
Berkeley, we're already good.
We're a clued in everybody was
the big deal was and this was
back in the day. And it
continues. The United States is
going to very slowly evolved
from being a manufacturing
company to a service company
where everything's gonna be
service. Yeah, service service
service, like right, so Well, no
deputy, almost any kind of
service. I think the peak of
service end, I think peak
service ended with a product
called WordPerfect, which was a
word processor that came out out
of Utah and the they had a
service department you could
call them get anything answered,
read aloud.
Adam Curry: WordPerfect 4.2.
That was the standard.
John C Dvorak: It was actually
the probably the biggest word
das legal standard
Adam Curry: for my company,
public and 96. It was The
John C Dvorak: big deal and of
course they get bought out
fooled into something fooled
into something else next thing
you know that Microsoft products
run in everything but there is
no service so the garbage This
is garbage week. I thought it's
if they're gonna move the
garbage in they're starting to
pick up garbage this morning and
I'm saying wait a minute this
was to move it up a week I call
them I'm on hold forever to a
recording and don't forget then
your put your bags and the bags
and the bags, and it goes on and
on and on. Nobody ever picks up
I have to finally hang up. It's
like you. You can't even get to
a receptionist anymore because
there are no receptionist has
all these machines and press two
if you wrote Have you speak
Spanish is unbelievable. Ours we
suck at service. We're the
country's going down the tubes
because of this.
Adam Curry: Well, I disagree
respectfully. Because I love
saying because that means fu
basically Fu Fu so we are live
in unincorporated
Fredericksburg. We're right
outside city services, so we
don't get any service from the
city. However, for $92 A
quarter, which is $30 a month,
we have Gillespie Waste
Services. And they they call me
they say hey, we're gonna come
on Tuesday today after
Christmas. If I forgot to put up
my trash one day I caught text
the guy he's like, no problem.
We'll swing back on the way home
we'll pick it up then for you
service. Perfect service.
John C Dvorak: One example out
of 1000s genuinely
Adam Curry: transformative
progress relies on connecting
the many silos of information to
deliver proactive support to the
people who need it. reducing
waste there you go, while
maximizing while maximizing
service value. This requires a
common infrastructure and
identity system. Yeah, Tony you
tell them that's what they want
identity system. Yes, yes.
Hello, citizen. Devorah like
what's your ID number? You want
Hey, remember Lotus jazz? Oh,
yeah, that was Lotus jazz man
that that was that was the sweet
that was the sweet you needed to
have mm hmm
John C Dvorak: was it Lotus jazz
the incorporating there was one
version of their spreadsheet
that was open ended they just
throw numbers on the screen and
it would put it there was no
cells remember that that
product? There were candles that
were falling in love with that
thing and they couldn't sustain
it? I don't know what why it
died but it died completely
Well,
Adam Curry: what I remember is
you had to insert your original
disk every single time to run it
and eventually those floppies
the three and a half inch
floppies just didn't work
anymore and so you lose your
access to the program that's
what I remember Lotus jazz being
a problem yeah, because people
might copy it you know steal it
Please steal Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's no good
was like the keys remember that
USB key how many
Adam Curry: keys yet is sticking
a key for everything? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: a while
Adam Curry: was no good. None of
those good. That was good.
Anyway, we have a new freakout
happening online, which is of
course something that I love to
research this was truly truly
amazing the text messages were
flying people are posting about
this everywhere. I have two
examples guys, this you know
whenever a cute blonde starts
off with Oh guys, guys, guys,
something's going on. Guys,
Unknown: guys. This is truly
insane. T Mobile has just
updated their terms of service
and now if you post any content
they don't agree with they will
find you and they have an
acronym called shaft. This
stands for alcohol, firearms and
tobacco. This is going to be
implemented on January 1, and
the finds that they will find
you is in the 1000s I had no
idea that we lived in China.
Since when does it company get
to determine what you are
allowed to talk about in a
private text message to a
friend. This should not only
disturb you but this should make
you want to take action. If you
have TMobile switch now and if
they are doing this How long do
you think it's going to be
before they start fact checking
our text messages? Oh, this
Adam Curry: is an outrage.
They're fact they're gonna fact
check our messages. They're
reading our text messages. You
gotta drop T Mobile right now.
And of course we all know this
is really Joe Biden
Unknown: breaking news.
Adam Curry: I love people who
think that they're breaking news
when they're on tick tock
breaking
Unknown: news, breaking news
right here in Jo vi He's
America, he's allowed major cell
phone provider T Mobile, to read
your private text messages and
find you up to $3,500. If you
say mean things they don't like.
It's called shaft is a system
they're using their human
Shemitah. Shad is saying stands
for some acronym that stands for
six hate alcohol, farms and
tobacco. It outlines the
categories of text messages,
specifically regulated due to
moral and legal issues and is
monitored and enforced by the
cellular telephone Industries
Association. This will all begin
on January 1 2024. You know,
like, I know, they're going to
target conservatives. They're
going to target anybody that was
that went about getting that
forced medical procedure.
They're gonna talk to anybody
that questions. Anytime that
targeting, if you question
anything government, they're
going to target you, they're
going to find you up to $3,500.
Now they're saying that is to
prevent porn, guns, illegal
drugs, all of that they snuck in
that one word, the Democrats
love hate speech. And you know,
like, I know, hate speech is
nothing more than pro Trump,
anti Joe Biden, there it is anti
Democrat, pro conservative.
That's hate speech as far as
these major corporations go.
Adam Curry: And this guy just
goes on and on. So just just
hearing this, John, from your
breaking news source on tick
tock, what is your takeaway that
you think is happening here with
this shaft?
John C Dvorak: Well, obviously
the I mean, this is unfamiliar
to me, but it's obvious by the
name shaft that is done is
somebody did this as a joke, but
I think it might have actually
been directed by Verizon or some
dirty tricks operation one of
the other companies.
Adam Curry: Interestingly
enough, this has already been in
place since 2022. And it is a
part of the US telecom carriers
association agreement. So this
is across the board. So it's not
new. It's just you know, someone
saw T Mobile update their terms
of service. And they went into
on freakout mode. Shaft isn't it
isn't real accurate is called
shaft it is yes, sex, hate
alcohol, firearms, tobacco, but
it's not between users. It is
for the A to P application. So
if you pay T Mobile to text
people, you know, such as
Governor Greg Abbott does to me.
That's what an A to P
application is. So they've set
rules in place for what you can
basically
John C Dvorak: Yes, yeah. For
advertisers. Yes.
Adam Curry: Exactly. This is
nothing, nothing new. Nothing. I
mean, I love the shaft acronym.
That's funny. Yes, pretty
dubious in Canada. No, it's I
have all the documents it'd be
John C Dvorak: just saying Why
would you come up with a acronym
like that?
Adam Curry: Well, that's
somebody having a drink at the
meeting and having some fun,
obviously, but it has nothing to
do with your text messages to
your friends or anything like
that. But everyone flies off.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Hey, hey,
hey, hey, it could happen
Adam Curry: though. But but
here's the joke of it. Focus on
that you numbnuts the government
has everything you send anyway.
Who are you kidding it's it's
it's published it's known the
NSA has every single text
message a recording ever
John C Dvorak: make a phone
call? I'm down in Utah with
Denver Now all they have to
Adam Curry: do is just type in
your number and up comes all
your information. People are so
your texts stupid. And then just
everyone's free?
John C Dvorak: Nobody ever
complains about this, of course.
Adam Curry: Isn't that
beautiful? And of course I'm
sure AT and T and Verizon are
loving it. Oh, yeah. Canceled T
Mobile were the good guys show.
Don't tell anybody, if
hilarious. Hilarious how the
just everyone freaks out over
this. And it propagate. No one
took three seconds to read what
it was about. And this is from
no agenda people to. Yeah, well
on that, in that vein, save the
world in that vein. The Missouri
versus Biden lawsuit. This has
gone to the Supreme Court. This
is about the government telling
social media companies to censor
posts to take accounts down
particularly during COVID and of
course during Trump, and we
expected that there would be
some amicus briefs over this.
While there were 19 amicus
briefs, EB two, actually, in
support of the government.
John C Dvorak: Explain what that
is to people who don't know.
Adam Curry: So an amicus brief
in this case the Supreme Court
is eventually probably a couple
of years down the road. It is
going to make a decision and
say, You know what the
government read the Biden
administration specifically, but
also parts of the Trump
administration violated your
first amendment right as the
government by sense by telling
commercial companies threatening
them, you better take that down,
or we just might have to do
something about section 203. And
that might ruin your business.
So that, of course, is a blatant
violation of the First
Amendment. So an amicus brief is
interested parties who, for
whatever reason, have an
interest in this process, either
never happening again or
continuing to happen. So they
send in a friend of the court
letter, amicus brief. So we have
two that are that are all for
it, they think is really good,
including the Lawyers Committee
for Civil Rights Under Law,
common cause and leadership, the
conference on civil and human
rights. They said, they suggest
the First Amendment exists to
allow the government to protect
its own people from harassment
and to prevent private citizens
from making false statements.
They actually put that into an
amicus brief and send it to the
Supreme Court. Wow. Then no
surprise, this group, the
American Academy of Pediatrics,
American Medical Association,
American Academy of Family
Physicians, American College of
Physicians and American
Geriatric Society. They say,
well, they, according to our
constitutional lawyer, Rob, this
brief takes no position on where
the government improperly coerce
the platforms. It addresses only
whether that coercion actually
violated the First Amendment.
That is whether Biden and CO had
a compelling interest to squash
private citizen speech, it
argues that a compelling
interest indeed existed, because
approved vaccines are safe and
effective. Can you believe it?
Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: can't believe me,
Adam Curry: the audacity.
John C Dvorak: They just never
let up. They see the lawsuits
looming in this nun. And we're
going to keep this going to I
just
Adam Curry: find it amazing,
amazing that they that they that
they say these things.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, there are
people I think the majority of
the public as a matter of fact,
that will lead to the death,
which could be any minute for
them. That the vaccines are safe
and effective.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah. That's
SIOP worked very well. It
really, in fact, I have a I
think I have a report here.
Yeah, this is a short one. That
just to prove your point short
one
Unknown: from the flu to COVID.
It's that time of year when more
people get sick. But a new study
reveals the biggest risk for
children. RSV researchers found
kids are far more likely to be
hospitalized for RSV than for
the flu or COVID. The study
looked at nearly 2600 children
and found kids with RSV were 11
times more likely to be
hospitalized and kids with
COVID. The CDC says the study
confirms the importance of
vaccines.
Adam Curry: So the study is not
about vaccines. It just confirms
vaccines are important. Your
CDC, the people are supposed to
protect you
John C Dvorak: know that I could
have protected you had to be a
clip, put a smile on my face.
I'm
Adam Curry: glad that it did.
Hey, just just to wrap this up.
It's kind of back and forth
here. But as of January 1,
Mickey Mouse, the original
Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse,
I think will finally enter the
public domain. Then people are
thinking this is great. We're
going to do all kinds of stuff
with Mickey Mouse and I'm
thinking you better not. You bet
don't send an art with Mickey
Mouse we're not going to do
we're not so we're not gonna use
it. That's for sure. No, because
Disney will come after you no
matter. This is the way it works
isn't your Disney got a 20 year
extension, which was 20 years
ago on Mickey Mouse and they did
that through all kinds of
lobbyists. In fact, Boston had
Sonny Bono who helped Disney
extend that copyright? It could
be wouldn't surprise I think it
when they killed him.
John C Dvorak: That's probably
the reason that just any bonus
not in the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame. How does that work?
Adam Curry: That's a good point.
John C Dvorak: That's Waller I
think is if there's all these
rappers that are in rock and
roll quote unquote, Abba Abba.
was in the right. Are you
kidding me? No, I'm not kidding.
Sonny Bono is not and Cher is
not. Are you sure about that?
Oh, yeah. Because the reason I
say I'm sure about it, because
Cher was just on the Kelly
Clarkson show and moaning and
groaning abandoned seat and now
she says they've been give her a
million bucks. She won't. She
won't accept it. Wow. She's
quite pissed off about it. I
Adam Curry: can't believe what
you're watching. Yes, share slam
His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
for snub snub
John C Dvorak: trying to keep up
with the culture unlike you. Oh,
Adam Curry: okay. Yeah, well,
I'm glad you're doing that. Yes,
John C Dvorak: that's why I'm
complaining about things. It's
safe and if I'm not happy, share
snubbed. And then of course
there's the guitar player.
What's his name? That right wing
guy who'd never got if for some
unknown reason it Nugent. Ted
Nugent should have anybody so
rock and roll guy. It's Ted
Nugent.
Adam Curry: It's correct. He
won't even accept it
John C Dvorak: anymore. People
wonder well, why? Why would you
already been snubbed? You know,
Adam Curry: the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame back in the day
when I was a kid back in the MTV
days late 80s. And the very
early 90s it was a it was a real
thing. It was at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York, it was
private. There were no
television cameras allowed
inside. It was not videotaped.
We didn't have cell phone
cameras. You could bring in your
your instamatic. You know,
remember those with a little
flash cube on top. And it was
great. Everybody was dressed
Lashon Q. Everybody was dressed
up in in tuxedos you know, Phil
Spector before he was arrested
and died. Mick Jagger would be
all be eating rubber chicken and
pretending Oh, rubber chicken
has good beer and was it was
really nice. And Paul Paul
Shaffer from Letterman's band,
he would organize an actual jam
which was a jam was unrehearsed
and the all these guys just
jumped on stage and played along
and had a good time. And
nowadays are over that. Yeah.
Oh, definitely. Now it's like
it's a show. It's on HBO. It's
highly productive Republicans.
No, no, no agent. No. Sonny
Bono. No, share. The end. It's
an it's an it has its shadow of
what it used to be. You had to
pay $2,000 a seat. That was the
old days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So
guys would buy a table, you
know? 20 grand for 10 people.
But I got invited though. I got
invited.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure you did.
You didn't have to test this for
Oh,
Adam Curry: nope. No, I got in a
fight with regular you busy
suing everybody. No, that was
before those times they sued me
first. Okay, so the first
John C Dvorak: thing they did
was unfair. You hate I know.
Other people have done the same
thing. What? What John Markoff,
for example, got ny t.com. Yeah.
Before the New York Times knew
what the hell was going on. And
then they let it slide forever.
And then they've all of a sudden
knew what kind of wanted it
because he caved. It wasn't
like, you
Adam Curry: know, they they
didn't add if they'd asked me, I
would have said, Okay, can I
just have adam@mtv.com could
just keep the email alias. But
they didn't ask me. They serve
me papers on a Saturday morning.
And I said, You know what? Screw
you. I'm gonna countersue you.
Then I did. And then we then we
split day
John C Dvorak: did and I hate to
use the word because I'm
condemned for cussing too much.
That sounds like there are a
bunch of chicken shits. Yeah,
Adam Curry: no, that's how you
can use that word. That's fine.
That's fine. They were and the
whole thing was dumb. It was
just dumb. But there was this
lawyers. Lawyers, we get too
many lawyers. Sorry, lawyers.
But we got too many of you
John C Dvorak: know, nothing was
listening to our show. Now we
have those are good lawyers.
Obviously. They're all good
lawyers. You're dynamite lawyer.
We have some tremendous haiku.
What else we have? We have a
bunch of Navy guys. Yeah. And
including, and I have some we
want to talk about fat leonard
for a sec. Oh,
Adam Curry: you got the note. Be
careful to protect? No, I've got
three notes. Okay. Protect all
their identities because I got
three
John C Dvorak: notes. Well, this
one is. He's only so much
protection, because he's
actually he's the Knight of the
deep blue sea. And I think
that's all we need to say. Yeah.
He says, Hi, John. I'm a Navy
Supply Corps officer, the fat
leonard scandal took down
several high ranking Supply
Corps officers. About a decade
ago, by the way, I started
looking into this and people
should go look at the fat
leonard entry into Wikipedia.
And you can see the whole
timeline. And it starts with
Paul Wolfowitz. Oh, really? And
the band the Bush
administration, and it goes
right into about halfway through
the first Obama administration.
Interesting, disgusting. 60
admirals were involved were
somehow involved 60 admirals
where are they? This is this is
an untold scandal.
Adam Curry: How can How come
that didn't I don't remember any
news about that? Of
John C Dvorak: course not. It
was suppressed. My favorite
story was a lieutenant who was
the supply officer on a
submarine. When a ship pulls
into a foreign port. The ship
sends a logistics request called
the Law Grech too short to ask
for all the things it needs.
Things like the browser to walk
across the shoreline power
lines, mooring lines, etc. This
one particular supply officer
would ask for certain flavors of
cheesecake. Which was good for
hookers.
Adam Curry: Oh, cheese cake and
pizza, lemon
John C Dvorak: cheesecake. Many
Asian girls, chocolate men,
black girls, no idea. No
Adam Curry: way.
John C Dvorak: This guy would
sign the invoices for trash
removal, water delivery
sanitary. This was by the way,
this is one of three or four
notes we've gotten from these
different Navy guys. Yeah. And
they all say the same thing.
They all knew this was going on
sewer remover, etc. For a month
that were in excess of what was
actually removed or delivered to
pay for his hookers, hotel room,
et cetera, et cetera, even had
fat leonard fly his family out
to some ports as a vacation.
Nice. There was a ton of
malfeasance going on back then.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I got I got a
note here about women and booze,
fur coats, Rolex watches concert
tickets. Like a media buyer.
John C Dvorak: What's weird
about to me is these Navy guys,
officers, many of them a lot of
officers. They can't get their
own damn hookers. I mean, there
are sailors and they can't find
a whore. Give me a break.
Adam Curry: They didn't want to
pay for him. Well, okay, well,
there's that. Okay, well, since
we've gone lewd
John C Dvorak: I don't know
what's lewd about I think this
is the scandal is so enormous.
And it's been so covered up in
the media, although the
Washington Post did a really
good job on it. And they just
named names and they named some
of the admirals, they're still
they're still looking at you're
probably bring him in. Most of
the admirals have retired. But
how does this happen? This is
like the biggest breach? Well,
and he read, we only read about
it in that wiki page. It's
disgusting. The
Adam Curry: question is, how
come this is the only one we've
uncovered? Well,
John C Dvorak: I'm sure there's
others. Yeah. And this and this
is why the Pentagon needs to be
audited.
Adam Curry: Good luck with that.
Yeah, they
John C Dvorak: can't audit the
Pentagon. They can audit the
Navy. This is the taxpayers are
getting ripped off on a daily
basis. In fact, I had a clip on
a couple of shows ago, I didn't
play it. It's the the what's it
called? Festivus report. Fancy
lookup Festivus singing and find
it. This is the report that that
Rand Paul likes to bring out
every year and it's about
government waste, and he cites a
bunch of government waste
Adam Curry: this three clips
from past Festivus I can't seem
to
John C Dvorak: figure out which
one is about to report.
Adam Curry: This one I think
first of all, I says back No,
not that one. No, no. Would it
be it would be called Festivus
because I'm looking at Festivus
and I don't
John C Dvorak: I thought it was
called Festivus. Now it doesn't
seem bolitho Rand Paul maybe
isn't that Yeah. Anyway, he did
not figure it out and bring it
back to the next Sunday show.
Okay, if I can find it. But the
this is this goes on forever and
nobody seems to care. No, and
then you know, your taxes go
Unknown: up. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And up for you're
just throwing money at hookers.
Adam Curry: As I said as we're
being lured, let's listen to a
caller from C span Democrat
line. Ryan
Unknown: is also from California
Democrats line. I Pedro Yeah,
this is Ryan from California. I
want I want to be bipartisan.
And you guys did gave some
grades a couple of weeks back.
And I never got in but I'd like
to give an A to my brothers in
the Republican Party. And I
think the Democratic Party has
gotten a little crazy. And I
think in some ways they're
trying to destroy this country.
So I'm glad for their checks and
balances and I'd like to give
them an A for doing that even
though they haven't been very
productive. It's checks and
balances that's how this country
works. This constitution works.
But I also want to get my
Democrats credit to and I want
to give them an A in the Senate
for doing anal. you in the butt
viewers. They're in California.
Adam Curry: Shaggy Dog he hold
on a long time. Just seeing the
guy's face on C
John C Dvorak: span guys had to
put up with this.
Adam Curry: I thought that was a
banger. That was great. You know
he wasn't a Democrat from
California?
John C Dvorak: No, of course
there's some joker.
Adam Curry: Now, now this this
is something quite serious.
Because this may affect a lot of
things. A question came up
during a town hall on CNN for
Nikki Haley. And now this is the
CNN report about it. And it's,
of course, it's edited to make
her look even worse than it was.
But not only did she blow it on
this, I think this is a question
that we will see coming back
time and time and time again,
for every Republican candidate
for any office. This will be the
question,
Unknown: Abby, an awkward moment
at this rally here in Berlin
when Nikki Haley was asked about
the cause the origins in the
Civil War, she seemed tripped up
by the question and suggested
that it was about the government
and personal freedoms. The
questioner then called her out
for neglecting to raise the
issue of slavery. Take a listen
to the exchange. What was the
cause of the United States Civil
War?
Well, don't come with an easy
question. Right. I mean, I think
the cause of the Civil War was
basically how government was
going to run the freedoms and
what people could and couldn't
do. What do you think the cause
of the Civil War was? Oh, bad.
I'm sorry. Slavery. I mean, I
think it always comes down to
the role of government.
Adam Curry: Dope, Ericom.
Unknown: What do you want me to
say about slavery? Next
question. She's done. She's
Adam Curry: Toast. Toast.
John C Dvorak: Not Have you
bring this up once in a while on
the show. I want to refer people
to a book called The causes of
the Civil War, I think is yes,
the title. Yes. I Kenneth stamp.
Sta M. P. P. Kenneth. Stan was
professor at Cal. And he was an
expert on the topic. And he
wrote a book which discusses
this in great detail, based on
what was what people were
saying, at the time, and since
then, and it's quite
enlightening, because there's
more than one reason is
definitely in there. But it's
not the key reason, at least in
this book, and I would, and
it's, it'll educate you
somewhat, but you have to enter
in today's world. If you're
running for president, you have
to say slavery, yes, period,
whether true or not. And so go
to the Canada stamp book, and
you'll get
Adam Curry: a well, I get
education abbreviation of the
Canada stamp book, which might
be helpful. The Civil War grew
out of longstanding tensions and
disagreements about American
life and politics. By the way,
we have to understand that at
the time slavery was normal,
it's very difficult for people
to transport their head into
that today. For more than 80
years, people in the northern
and southern states had been
debating the issues that
ultimately led to war, economic
policies and practices, cultural
values, the extent and reach of
the federal government,
government, and most
importantly, the role of slavery
within American society. Against
the backdrop of these larger
issues, individual soldiers had
their own reasons for fighting.
Their motivations often included
a complex mix of personal
social, economic, and political
values that didn't necessarily
match the aims expressed by the
respective governments. And
there was a succession. There's
a lot of stuff that went on, but
if you don't, and I think we
should, as the creative or
consulting group, I think we
should have an answer that
Republicans can use because
they're going to fail on this
every single time. They take
John C Dvorak: her approach. Of
course they are Shouldn't they
just say,
Adam Curry: well, Democrats at
the time, and that's how I would
start off with Democrats like
slavery. That's how I would
start. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's beautiful.
Going in consulting mode, that
is absolutely the way to start
it. Yeah. Just you got to stay.
The Democrat dominated south
which we're all in on slaves as
the Democrats are to this day.
Well, maybe you can't go that
far. Easy. Boy. You can you can
get close.
Adam Curry: Yes, they like
John C Dvorak: to keep the black
population under the under foot.
Yes,
Adam Curry: this is the answer.
I mean, any any version of that
as how you want to answer the
question. And then you can say
and but you should just start
off by saying, well, we all know
the time the Democrats love
slavery, and they wanted to keep
it going. There were other
things at play. And then years
go on and it doesn't matter what
you say from that point on. It
would be perfect because there's
no there's no refuting that.
You're and Lincoln was our
President, our Republic. imprint
had to
John C Dvorak: bring in a
Republican which was a new party
at the time to fake white
Adam Curry: to fight for the fix
the racist Democrats are
John C Dvorak: races Democrats
and to you know, yeah, there's
wait yeah, you could definitely
create a dialogue that would be
dynamite. But no, I may lick
what Ramaswamy would probably go
in that direction but he's flat
footed. She's no good toast,
man.
Adam Curry: I think she's toast
over that one.
John C Dvorak: I think so too.
Adam Curry: That's just uh, she
can't get anything done now. She
just and then when she says What
would you like me to say about
slave that's why don't you give
me any bad oh my god who was
running her campaign?
John C Dvorak: Well as fired,
Mr. Fired it's clip here. This
is off to dub off topic but it
brings in to bring these two
clips. Okay. This is the sewage
test around schools clip.
Unknown: New Mexico is one of
the very first states in the US
to have started drug testing its
public schools wastewater their
range of opioids and stimulants.
A Wall Street Journal report
looks into some of the data
released earlier this month. Out
of more than three dozen high
schools. Cocaine was found in
nearly 82% of campus
communities, and many schools
also detected opioids like
fentanyl, oxycodone, and
codeine. The author of that
article Sarah Randazzo joins us
now Great to have you here,
Sarah, and this is pretty
shocking stuff. Talk to us about
this wastewater testing
technique. And how does it work?
How common is this?
In the US, we really started
hearing about it most. Since the
pandemic it was used to detect
upticks in COVID. I know if you
remember seeing, you know,
wastewater showing, there could
be a search here. And so it was
used for diseases like that. And
then now the US is starting to
realize, oh, we can do the same
wastewater technique to look for
drug use. And New Mexico was one
of the first places I've found
doing this in public schools.
And so they literally are
testing anything that's flushed
down the toilet, to be just
frank about it. And so it could
be from students, it could be
from adults in the building. But
over the course of an eight hour
period, they take multiple
measures at each campus and then
look for a whole range of drugs
from it. I
Adam Curry: have a feeling that
we discussed this very thing
happening.
John C Dvorak: I think we might
have it started with nothing but
since it started with oh, we're
just testing
Adam Curry: the wastewater to
see if you have COVID have now
the drug tests. And
John C Dvorak: then eventually
it can go house by house.
Adam Curry: And interestingly, a
report just came out in the EU
and EU report I should say it's
a worldwide report about and
this is also from I believe it's
from wastewater testing
actually. The worst cocaine
habits in by country. So who do
you think is number one the
number one country that uses the
most cocaine? According
John C Dvorak: to the report? It
should be us and I'm
disappointed if it's not Oh, no,
we're
Adam Curry: no bro. We're number
five we're slipping. I've
John C Dvorak: fallen on
everything you
Adam Curry: will not believe who
by a wide margin by 40%. And
this is the last 12 months
amongst people aged 15 to 64.
John C Dvorak: Give me the top
five number
Adam Curry: I'll give you an OG
doing reverse or actually I'll
give you to do it reverse.
John C Dvorak: I'll give you the
top two account down. Let
Adam Curry: me give you at
number 10 We have coming in
where they're frog pants
friends, number nine, Croatia,
number eight, Canada sniffing it
and snorting it up north and
then no surprise the drug
capital of the of the European
Union, the Netherlands. And then
of course where all our money
goes for instead of to taxes
Ireland and then number one to
number five the United States
followed very closely beaten by
just a hair a nose hair by
Spain. Of now comes the
interesting top three. Can you
give me one of the top three of
the most cocaine users in the
world?
John C Dvorak: How about
Denmark? No,
Adam Curry: man, Denmark's got
the legal stuff. They're on
SSRIs they don't need coke.
Okay,
John C Dvorak: I'm just gonna.
UK UK number
Adam Curry: two UK number two.
Number three is Austria. Number
one can you guess by a margin of
40% more drug users then the
United Kingdom water ministry.
No one is guessing it in the
troll room. No one has it. I was
blown away. Okay, hit it
Australia. Wow. A bunch of cool
hoped
John C Dvorak: I wouldn't have
guessed that either. coked out
Adam Curry: because just
kangaroos man wow I 40% margin
the ever since they took away
the guns
Unknown: oh man
Adam Curry: well we're screwed
alright I just have another two
yeah
John C Dvorak: but I feel good
so I have one more sewage source
has died obviously came from
that and this one is something I
think we should be aware of was
the fake meat story
Adam Curry: okay it just made
meat
Unknown: from your number two
Japanese scientists have
developed a method to create
edible steaks from human feces.
Unbelievable well it's happening
meat so UK Aikido a researcher
at the okuyama laboratory
collaborated with Tokyo sewage
to address sewage mud excess,
they discovered the content in
the mud contains high protein
due to bacteria so the team
isolated and combined these
proteins with a reaction
enhancer result synthetic state
gel to me comprises of 63%
protein 25% carbs 3% lipids and
9% minerals and it's visually
enhanced with food coloring for
a red hue and improved flavor
using soy protein.
Adam Curry: Where'd that come
from? That's a ground for cake
John C Dvorak: Tiktok Okay,
Adam Curry: all right. Well,
there is a lot of talk about
California now approving
wastewater recycle. Yes,
John C Dvorak: it's a big story.
I've had some clips I don't
think I haven't any today but
the they're approving the use of
toilet one waste water another
word sewage the liquid in the
sewage to refine it to make
drinking water. Yeah, they're
gonna they've started already in
some areas whether using it for
for lawns and outdoor use a
lawyer you can't really tell me
how you separate the pipes
Adam Curry: as a as a resident
of California. What is your
feeling about this development?
John C Dvorak: That drink
bottled water?
Adam Curry: I'll bet you do. I
was always under the impression
that they were already doing
that.
John C Dvorak: That's what I
thought too in some areas for
but mostly for agriculture use.
I didn't know that they were
going to try to make people
drink into your heart up man.
Wait, and I realize reading
quite a bit around here. Yeah,
but I'd say this that they want
us to drink our own pee and and
basically each. It's like to
Hello. Hello, California.
Adam Curry: Uber all us. Uber
all
John C Dvorak: Hey, and wait,
California goes. Oh, oh, yeah.
The
Adam Curry: way the rest of the
country goes. I don't think so.
Yeah. Although on that new civil
war movie, it is Texas and
California Joining Forces oddly,
which makes no sense. Somehow
somehow that happens. Let's just
get the obligatory Orange Man
bad story out of the way. Oh,
MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell
Unknown: on Christmas Day. A 77
year old criminal defendant
facing racketeering charges.
Adam Curry: That's that's it's
gone from, was it the President
with twice impede or twice
impeached 90 times a night
indicted, indicted. Now now it's
just gone down to this on
Christmas Day. He just by the
way,
Unknown: a 77 year old criminal
defendant facing racketeering
charges and other felonies in
four jurisdictions said that his
prosecutors should rot in hell.
And unlike every other criminal
defendant, who has said that he
didn't mumble it to himself
bitterly alone in his jail cell.
Adam Curry: This is Lawrence
O'Donnell deserves a goat for
this
Unknown: awaiting trial. He
didn't say it angrily to a
cellmate. He said it through the
reach of social media to the
world and to the world that he
said the president of the United
States should rot in hell. The
77 year old criminal defendant
is also the leading Republican
candidate for President of the
United States, thanks to the
inexplicable political
perversion of most Republican
Party voters who have chosen to
support a man who has described
himself as being perverse. That
was his word. Donald Trump is
now the first former presidents
in history to say that any other
American president, including
the slave owners, should rot in
hell. There is no evidence doubt
Trump believes that there is a
Adam Curry: hell we did that
there is no evidence bit. It's
kind of good he did noting the
slave
Unknown: owners should rot in
hell. There is no evidence that
Donald Trump believes that there
is a hell or that there is a God
He obviously has not lived a
single day of his life. Based on
a belief in hell or God, and
there is no decision he ever
made in life that can be traced
to a belief in hell, or God,
Adam Curry: that is blatantly
false.
John C Dvorak: Not only that,
but is scandalous. Yes. Why
Adam Curry: it's almost done.
But that does
Unknown: not render Donald
Trump's condemnation of
President Biden to hell.
Harmless, because the only way
Donald Trump's most fervent
Christian followers believe Joe
Biden can burn in hell is if he
is dead.
John C Dvorak: Wow, that's, I
think, consider that a threat.
Yeah, of
Adam Curry: course it is. That's
what he's trying to make Trump
into. But he's the one that said
it.
John C Dvorak: Well, that from
that same operation, let's
listen to the supercut of what
people think is going to happen
with Trump second term,
Adam Curry: who on second, here
we go, what would a second
Donald Trump term look like?
Unknown: You can't imagine the
things that he's going to do.
And you
Adam Curry: know, we played this
like three episodes ago. I don't
care. I hate to be a douchebag.
But I don't remember
John C Dvorak: the one part in
this that if you if that's true,
what would a second Donald Trump
term
Unknown: look like? You can't
imagine the things that he's
going to do and shoot visitors
to the White House. That means
he can shoot the First Lady.
We're gonna
see violence the likes of which
we didn't even see on January 6,
make it illegal to run against
him to throw his opponents in
jail to shut down the media,
you will make himself into the
furor using martial law against
the Americans
to create mass internment camps.
Throw everyone into Gitmo
assassinate generals
ordering troops to attack
American citizens Trump's
very well armed and extremists
base will try to kill people
going in is going to basically
burn the house down
the absolute destruction of the
Justice Department as we know
it.
The vote for Donald Trump may
mean the last election that you
ever get to vote in.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't
remember anyone saying he's
gonna shoot the First Lady.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, that was that
was in the original. It's
alright. Well,
John C Dvorak: yeah, maybe we
didn't play it yet. We did
Adam Curry: play it.
John C Dvorak: Okay, if we
played it I just for some reason
I can't remember. I can't
imagine me not remembering that
he's going to shoot the First
Lady. So we have the updates on
Trump here. This is Trump
ballot, Smith, et cetera on MTD,
Unknown: Special Counsel Jack
Smith is trying to limit
evidence and arguments that
Trump can make before the jury.
In his federal trial related to
the January 6 related case.
Prosecutors claimed that Trump
has tried to spread irrelevant
disinformation and will try to
politicize the trial.
Specifically Smith is concerned
that Trump will distract the
jury by making claims of
political prosecution, such as
raising the question as to
whether or not this legal case
against Trump was launched in
coordination with the Biden
administration, or the question
of whether or not there were
undercover agents present at the
Capitol on January 6, or
questions of alleged foreign
interference in the 2020
presidential election. All of
these topics Jack Smith wants to
be off limits at that trial,
which is what he's asking of the
DC judge. Meanwhile, proceedings
in this case are currently on
hold because of an appeal over
the question of whether or not
presidential immunity applies in
this case. Meanwhile, Michigan
Supreme Court today did rule
that Trump can stay on the
ballot in that state rejecting
an appeal to try to disqualify
him. Michigan's court stated
that they would not review the
question as to whether or not
Trump should be disqualified
based on accusations that he
incited an insurrection. This is
the exact opposite from that
Colorado rolling, which will
likely go to the Supreme Court,
we can expect to see several
other rulings on this issue
coming out over the coming weeks
and months as there are
challenges to Trump's candidacy
and several other states. Now
Adam Curry: I'm glad everyone
has something to argue about.
John C Dvorak: That's all that's
all this is just all publicity
the way I see it. Yeah, of
course, Trump Of course it is.
It's just different than the
last time only this time it's
like it's it just makes
everything look unfair. Part two
of this clip talks about what
California is up to. California
Unknown: Governor Gavin Newsom
reacted to efforts from a top
state official trying to bar
former President Donald Trump
from the state's ballot. This
comes after the Colorado Supreme
Court ruled that Trump should be
dismissed from the Colorado
ballot for the 2024 election.
They say he violated section
three of the US constitutions
14th amendment, a majority of
justices on the state court
ruled that he engaged in an
insurrection or rebellion
against the United States under
their reading of the provision.
The decision has triggered more
efforts across the United
States, including in California
to disqualify Trump from
appearing on ballots in 2024.
But in a statement issued on
December 20 Second, Newsom told
his fellow Democrats that he
believes that in California we
defeat candidates at the polls
referring to lawsuits against
President Trump and that
everything else is a political
distraction. Lieutenant Governor
Eleni Cunha. Lacus, who was
running for governor as a
Democrat in 2026 sent a letter
to Secretary of State Shirley
Weber urging her to find legal
ways to remove Trump's name from
the state's ballot. The letter
reads based on the Colorado
Supreme Court's ruling, I urge
you to explore every legal
option to remove former
President Donald Trump from
California's 2024 presidential
primary ballot. Meanwhile,
Senator Dave min also a Democrat
announced that he would
introduce a measure to allow
residents of the state to file
lawsuits to block candidates who
are deemed ineligible. No,
Adam Curry: man, not the
California matters. I mean, we
know what they're gonna vote.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the
elections are rigged here
anyway, which is the reason I
think, because I heard that
Newsom was all in on the idea of
knocking them off the ballot
now, all of a sudden, he's not
because I think somebody went up
to him and said, Hey, what
difference does it make? Right?
Adam Curry: Makes no, and he can
play the high ground. But again,
it's like, you know, it's I
don't care who's gonna be no
one's gonna come in and save the
world. That's that's the that's
the bad part of this. Oh, if
Trump gets elected, then we're
all saved. No,
John C Dvorak: definitely not
gonna be saved on anything more
40 more years of agony and
always like to say, Hey, if you
had let Trump win the second
term, he'd be out for good.
Adam Curry: I mean, I'm thinking
now, that the the How about this
for our scenario, we want Trump
to win because we're the
economy, the financial system is
going to blow up eventually. Why
not pull the plug, pull it? Pull
it just before Trump is elected?
Let him deal with it. Well,
John C Dvorak: I think that may
be exactly what's going on with
the migration crisis.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're so right.
That's a good point. Because it
is it is just out of control.
And everyone sees it. Everyone.
Yeah. Even
John C Dvorak: the Democrats are
Adam Curry: irked all the
Democrats are here I have. This
is a I'm sure you have clips.
This is a the the Democrat
mayors of the sanctuary cities
had a zoom call. And they all
get that Zoom call. Yeah, they
had a zoom call. Everybody got
on the call. And they're all
bitching and moaning. We need
Unknown: the federal government
to invest. But we also need to
make sure that the governor of
Texas, there's no pick this
animosity. On the rest of the
country. Mayor
Johnson joined New York Mayor
Eric Adams and Denver Mayor Mike
Johnston on a joint call with
members of the media this
afternoon. We at
this point now have had more
migrant arrivals to our city
than any city in America per
capita. And and that is not
because there is a thoughtful or
coordinated strategy to entry it
is because we are the first big
city north of El Paso and the
cheapest bus ticket in the
shortest trip.
The mayor of Denver says the
city has received 35,000
migrants since the crisis began
in 2022 compared to more than
26,000 in Chicago, and more than
150,000 in New York. Just
a few weeks ago, Governor Abbott
promised to send an additional
25,000 migrants to New York City
alone.
We learned New York City is
adopting a similar ordinance
Chicago passed last month
requiring migrant buses give
advance notice before arriving
and only do drop offs Monday
through Friday at a designated
location in New York limiting
those hours between 8am to noon.
Chicago's ordinance extends that
drop off time until 5pm. Buses
that don't comply here are cited
and a couple of them have been
impounded migrants from Texas
also arriving at Chicago's
airports, sending
planes to Chicago or anywhere
else that are funded by the
government. This government of
Texas, these private planes
without a manifest without
knowing who's on the plane
without knowing what's on the
plane is not just reckless is
dangerous.
The mayor is all described
shelter spaces at capacity and a
strain on city budgets pushing
for a list of demands from the
feds including authorized work
permits.
It will crush city budgets
around the country as we know
we're looking at about $160
million of potential costs going
next year's budget that's almost
10% of our entire city budget
asking for federal financial
help and better coordination to
manage the flow of migrants from
the southern border.
We have spoken to FEMA and other
federal officials who have
expressed concern about the
border surge, but not offered
additional help. We need action
and we need it now.
Adam Curry: Yeah, there you go.
We're the baddies Of course were
the bad guys were the bad guys
were sitting even though
John C Dvorak: supposedly,
you're the bad guys or text is
referring to Yes. It still is
only, like 10% of what's
happening in New York, the rest
of the US government sending him
up. Yes. Yes. getting blamed for
nothing really. But
Adam Curry: people are seeing it
there at the airports. They're
seeing the chaperones, that's
the I, what the what's the name
of that company? Again, I Edie,
they're the they're contracted
to help these people through
TSA, they got paperwork,
Everything's all set. It's all
good to go. And that is, I mean,
it's crazy. And everyone sees it
now and they just let keep
letting it go. They could stop
it today. But why don't they I
think this is part of the
reason.
Unknown: Two Pizza Hut
franchises are laying off more
than 1200 in house delivery
drivers in California and they
are actually eliminating the
service that we're preparing for
the new law that will raise
employee wages to $20 an hour
starting in April. The layoffs
will affect hundreds of stores
in orange, Los Angeles,
Riverside and San Bernardino,
and Ventura Counties. To get
orders customers will need to
use third party delivery apps
like DoorDash Uber Eats and
Grubhub
Adam Curry: we need cheap people
to deliver our food. We need
cheap people to clean the homes.
Toilets, we need slaves. That's
what it is. These people are
cynical. Well
John C Dvorak: as they don't
know how many cheap people we
need. Let's go to migration
report. Well, I got two of them.
Here we go. Let's do the N TD
one first. Okay.
Unknown: This is in di D
Secretary of State and Tony
Blinken.
Adam Curry: Wow, same cadence.
Did you hear that?
John C Dvorak: I love that guy.
And
Unknown: this is in the
Secretary of State Antony
Blinken, Homeland Security Chief
Alejandro my orcas are in Mexico
City on Wednesday. They're
seeking the support of Mexico's
president Andres Manuel Lopez
Obrador in tackling the
immigration crisis, they too are
expected to bring up a number of
requests, including moving
migrants South controlling the
railways that are used by
migrants to move north and
providing visas and other
incentives for migrants to stay
in Mexico. This comes as new
footage this week shows migrants
making fires and sleeping
between train cars in Mexico.
They often travel on top of the
train to not get caught by
Mexican authorities.
Mexican migration authorities
get us off the buses if we're
about to reach the border. We're
returned to southern Mexico for
no apparent reason. We're always
supposed to move forwards I
mean, we have to get on the
train.
However, sometimes Mexican
authorities don't stop the
migrants an issue the American
delegation might address at
Wednesday's meeting. Shortly
before the meeting, President
Obrador said the US should be
investing in poor people in
Latin America and the Caribbean,
instead of putting up barriers,
barbed wire fences in the river
or thinking about building
walls. Meanwhile, in the US, the
Democratic mayor of Eagle Pass,
Texas says the US should start
deporting people, adding that
the problem starts with
President Biden and vice
president Kamala Harris not
taking a stand on the issue.
It's
very disappointing that they
haven't made that message
themselves that you can come
into this country illegally. One
and second. Yes, of course,
there has to be a consequence to
somebody breaking the law.
People know that they're
processing them quick. That's
why they keep coming. So until
we start deporting people in
large amounts, this will
continue to keep going. He
adds that the influx of
immigrants is causing crime in
his city to rise.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, can I trust
that report? And you can play
the Amy Goodman? Morning.
Unknown: AMY GOODMAN flippin
bound. US Secretary of State
Tony Blinken, Homeland Security
Chief Mohandro Marcus and White
House Homeland Security Adviser
Liz Sherwood Randall are meeting
today with Mexican President on
low that's Andres Manuel Lopez
Obrador and Mexico City. Blinken
is preparing to discuss what his
office is described as border
security challenges and quote,
unprecedented irregular
migration in the Western
Hemisphere. Unquote. Andres
Manuel Lopez Obrador is expected
to call again for the Biden
ministration to lift sanctions
against Cuba and Venezuela,
which AMLO says has driven an
increase in migration. This
comes as a caravan with over
6000 migrants are heading
towards the US Mexico border.
Some participants in the caravan
are holding banners that read
quote, exodus from poverty,
unquote. Other caravan
participants said they're
fleeing violence at home. This
is Jose Santos from Honduras. I
came here escaping from the Ms.
13 criminal gangs. I worked as a
security guard. Ms. 13 asked us
for money but we didn't have
any. They wanted our ammunition.
But as gone As we only received
a limited amount of ammunition,
they threatened to kill me. Not
once, but three times. I was
scared. So I decided to Mexico,
hoping I'll be allowed to go to
the US. In
related news, CNN is reporting
more than 11,000 people seeking
refuge in the United States are
waiting in shelters and camps on
the Mexican side of the border.
Adam Curry: I had a conversation
with Moe about this yesterday,
he had an interesting take on
the large amount of what they
call men of military age. Yeah,
which, you know, in here in
Texas, the meme is gonna be
gonna kill us from inside they
got they're gonna have an old
army here, and they're gonna
kill us here. A mosaic was
interesting. He said, No, no,
no. He said, We want these men
because that will be your path
to citizenship. We can't get
anyone to find you
John C Dvorak: to put them in.
We can't get people in our own
army will join. Exactly bring
him in. You get citizenship.
This is a deal that was started
some time back.
Adam Curry: I think wasn't it?
John C Dvorak: I think even
maybe before that there was a
lot of these guys as you I think
during the Iraq war, this may go
back further. And I think it was
like you come over here. You're
here. You you're going to the
army for two years and fight in
Iraq. Yeah. And you'll get a
citizenship and there's a bunch
of people that did that. Oh,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this and
John C Dvorak: it's possible
that we're loading up because
bring him in and then sue them
up and send them off. This is
what Russia does. If you note
the Ukraine they were always
talking about how they were
bringing all these guys in from
all over the place to put on a
Russian uniform and go into
Ukraine.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, the same
same for Ukraine. Ukraine bottle
up there's a lot of American
mercenaries getting killed over
there. That
John C Dvorak: fighting Fight,
fight Smash.
Adam Curry: I have a couple of
clips here. This is ABC.
Unknown: Tonight, US Secretary
of State Antony Blinken arriving
in Mexico City pressing Mexico's
president for help with the
migrant surge at the border
joined by DHS Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas, sources
telling ABC News that the Biden
ministration plan to push Mexico
to step up immigration
enforcement within their country
help reopen key ports of entry
and encourage migrants to stay
in Mexico. The urgent meeting
coming as border officials brace
for this caravan of migrants an
estimated 6000 people pushing
through southern Mexico towards
an overwhelmed us border
December now on track to have
the highest number of border
patrol apprehensions ever.
According to CBP data. Several
days this month seen more than
10,000 apprehensions overnight,
a plane carrying over 180
migrants from Texas diverted to
Philadelphia due to weather
issues. The group later packed
on buses and transported to New
York City tonight, Mayor Eric
Adams now requiring those buses
to provide 32 hour notice before
arriving in the city and urging
the federal government to step
up.
This is a national problem. This
has only been exacerbated by
Governor app is cruel, inhumane
cruel politics, federal
government responsibility.
I think I think Biden
John C Dvorak: can do it. It's
not cruel, like put people on
planes and ship wherever he
wants. But if Abbott does, it is
cruel.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's cruel
because you know, we're red
state. We're horrible people. I
think TRT had a good report.
Unknown: I think this is the one
I mean, the latest surge of
1000s of Central and South
American migrants is on the move
now heading toward the US
border. They don't care about
the enormous humanitarian,
political and logistical
nightmare they've touched off.
They just want to get in
America's top diplomat Secretary
of State Antony Blinken was
among US officials who met with
Mexican President Andres Obrador
on Wednesday, there are some
ideas the US is pressing Mexico
on keeping or moving migrants
farther south in Mexico away
from the US border, providing
migrants with visas to give them
an incentive to stay in Mexico.
But Mexico doesn't have the
resources or the infrastructure
that the US has to handle the
influx. This month alone, the
number of migrants crossing the
border has sometimes exceeded
10,000 in one day. The US is
occasionally closing
international bridges between
the two nations as a way to
pressure Mexico to do more. But
both nations get hurt
economically. When those bridges
close New York City where 1000s
of migrants arrive each week is
so overwhelmed. The mayor is now
putting limits on how long
migrants can stay in shelters,
creating panic.
They told me that this country
was different but no. I told my
son Enjoy the hotel. We have a
roof right now. This is going to
send us away and we're going to
be sleeping in the train on the
streets. And my son started to
cry back and I said, Let's have
faith.
Mexican president Obrador says
he wants to help. But he also
wants to see the US make
diplomatic progress with Cuba
and Venezuela, where most
migrants are now coming from,
along with more development aid
for the region. proof that this
is no longer a border crisis,
but a hemisphere one
Adam Curry: hemisphere crisis.
Well, I don't know but all I see
is you got a problem with a war
the America will pay for it be
an Israel lab will pay for
Europe, Ukraine will pay for it.
You got you got crap going on
your economy. Come on over here.
We'll take care of it. How did
that happen? How did how did we?
And it's not just from South
American countries. No, no,
there's entire we talked about
this. There's tour. Travel
Agencies popping up online and
foreseeing Africa for Somalians,
hey, we'll get you to the
American we'll get you to the
border, no worries. And this was
a perfect, perfect example of
it.
Unknown: Granted at the vettery
Airport tarmac for 24 hours, an
Airbus A 340 was transporting
over 300 Indian passengers. All
of them held in the airport
suspected to be part of a human
trafficking network with
investigations ongoing. Two men
possessing cash and several
passports are currently in
custody. The plane left the UAE
yesterday for technical stuff in
France. It was supposed to take
off to the capital of Nicaragua.
So the
Adam Curry: goal in Nicaragua
and then put bus get on the bus
go up to the up to the border,
come on in. Everybody gets paid.
Everybody's great. And and it's
the United Nations Office of
immigration of immigration. Was
it International Office of
migration? Who are ours are just
supporting this?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, with our
money. Yes. This gives our money
to the UN to make these things
happen. If we need some
auditing, we're getting ripped
off.
Adam Curry: Yes. But this is
this is coming to a head. I
mean, this just has to end this
is people are not going to take
it anymore. Particularly New
Yorkers are getting fed up.
Chicagoans are getting fed up.
You can only say good Texas no
good for so long. With Lexus's
fault, that's all the that's all
the mayor says, oh, it's Texas
is inhumane, horrible, Greg
Abbott, who wasn't in a
wheelchair to kick his ass. It's
just it's a meme. And so you
think that this is part of the
let's do this and leave it all
to Trump
John C Dvorak: along with the
beginning to think so. Because
the Democrats seem to sense that
there, they can't get Biden off
the ticket. Because he's just
not going to go off the ticket.
And he has to, you know, they
can have to defer, so they're
gonna have to leave on the
ticket. So he's going to be on
there with Camela. And that
means he's going to die in
office probably in two or three
years, and then she's going to
be present is a nightmare. So
they don't want that they're not
nuts. And so they're going to
let Trump and the Republicans
kind of when they're probably
take, keep the house. I don't
know how the Senate is gonna go.
But whatever the case is, Trump
had the house and senate last
time it didn't do him any good.
And because he's a bonehead.
He's not a good president in
terms of his ability to run
things. He hires the wrong
people that come to the Council
on Foreign Relations folk are
running the place anyway. The
media is all over him. He can't
do anything he's in. He's no
good. Yeah. But they're gonna
but at least it'll put the
Republicans in and they can take
take it up up the shorts for all
now they got to deal with this.
And they got to deal with that.
And they got to deal with like
you said that there will be an
economic downturn.
Adam Curry: You call this a
financial event is what I'm
calling it.
John C Dvorak: Well, you can
call it whatever you want. But
that should take place in 2025.
Not next year, but the year
after, there you go, according
to the cycles.
Adam Curry: It could be
triggered a little earlier, that
would be fun. Well,
John C Dvorak: whatever. Well
for the show, maybe, as I said
for the donation segment. The
whole thing is leading to let
them let the Republicans take it
in the shorts for all this that
we're doing and let's just pour
in more migrants don't do
anything about it. And you know,
see what happens.
Adam Curry: Yeah, meanwhile,
there's an entire generation of
young people certainly in the
United States who are being
taught to hate America yeah
hated for being colonialist.
can't know lonely elicit
John C Dvorak: no good one. No
Adam Curry: good. This is have
you ever heard of Turtle Island?
John C Dvorak: For summer And I
have I can't tell you what I
what I've heard but I have heard
of Turtle Island Turtle Island.
Adam Curry: Let me see I have it
here. Turtle Island is about
read it from the Wikipedia of
Turtle Island is the name for
earth or North America used by
some indigenous peoples? As well
as by Yes, indigenous right.
John C Dvorak: You're right. I
had it. I have heard it, but
I've only heard it recently like
in the last couple of weeks.
Adam Curry: Right. So I only
heard it today. And I heard this
University of Minnesota
professor. Right, the one that
went off the rails. Yeah, yes,
exactly. So if there's
indigenous peoples on the stage,
they're talking about Israel.
And of course, how horrible
America is for funding them. And
genocide ng the, the
Palestinians. And so we get a
couple of terms here. One is the
Turtle Island. And the other one
is, I think an interesting land
back lands back,
Unknown: but land back is going
to happen. That's going to
happen the indigenous
perspective and Turtle Island,
and how we understand what is
also happening in Palestine. And
what we really want you to take
away tonight is, as Anthony
said, we're in the belly of the
beast, right? We're all
indigenous people who come from
nations that are under
occupation by the United States
government. And of course, the
US Bank rules on the Israeli
occupation of Palestinian land.
They're one in the same, really.
And so it's our responsibility
as people who are within the
United States to go as hard as
possible to decolonize this
place, because that will
reverberate all across the
world, because the US is the
greatest predator empire that
has ever existed. Right? And so
they want us everywhere. We want
us out of Palestine, they want
us out of Turtle Island. Right.
And that the goal is to hold the
settler project that is the
United States. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So just dismantle,
dismantle the United States,
because that'll work out great.
John C Dvorak: that'll improve
things. So that now this woman
is at the University of
Minnesota, I believe. Yes,
correct, professor, and we'll
see how long she lasts.
Adam Curry: Have a couple other
of these? Well, there's actually
there's a new chant, which I
wanted to share with the group.
John C Dvorak: As I've heard a
couple of new chants, I
Adam Curry: have a new one. The
new chant is for the Houthis.
Although in this case, it's for
Yemen because they're doing a
great job of blocking the
shipping through the Red Sea.
Couldn't hear it? Yemen, Yemen,
make us proud. Turn another ship
around. Yes, it is, I think.
See, I have, of course we have
protesters in Los Angeles at the
airport.
Unknown: About 35 people were
arrested for rioting amid a pro
Palestinian protest in Los
Angeles. They blocked a street
leading into LA international
airport this morning. Several
were seen scaling walls and
running into neighborhoods
before being taken down by
officers in riot gear. One
person was arrested for battery
on a police officer. Traffic
slowed, but police said no
flights were impacted. And
Adam Curry: here's what's crazy.
This anti Israel, anti Zionist,
anti Jew hate really started
over a year ago with Kanye he
was the first to say oh no,
they're, they're debunking me.
They're taking my business away.
I'm no longer rich. They took my
money away. You remember that?
Oh, yeah, of course. Well, he
spun on a dime Kanye
Unknown: West is apologizing to
the Jewish community posting a
statement on Instagram and
Hebrew after a series of anti
semitic remarks. The rapper who
calls himself yay is asking for
forgiveness. his apology comes
just before the release of his
new album.
John C Dvorak: Timing I love
Adam Curry: I don't know exactly
what yeah is trying to do. But
it is time to break out new
flags. I think we can expect
this I'm just going to put it in
the Red Book yellow flags are on
deck yellow flags are on
Unknown: deck. Hundreds of
Hezbollah supporters turned out
Wednesday for the funeral of a
fighter killed in an Israeli
airstrike. Since the outbreak of
the Israel Hamas war on October
Hezbollah and Israeli forces
have engaged in near daily
clashes. Israel bombarded
southern Lebanon to force
Hezbollah to evacuate 30
kilometers north and create a
buffer zone. Instead, Bala fired
about 30 rockets into northern
Israel. Israel warned that the
situation in the region may
escalate further. I must
be good as a former situation on
Israel's northern border demands
change. The timer for a
diplomatic solution is running
out if the world and the
Lebanese Government will not
stop the firing on Northern
settlements and move Hezbollah
away from the Border Israeli
army will.
Israel faces tensions with more
than just Hezbollah and its
north, especially after the
death of a high ranking Iranian
officer near Damascus on Monday.
His funeral was attended by
1000s in Tehran Thursday, Iran
accused Israel of being
responsible for the attack in
Syria and promised prevent
certain that this acts of
retaliation will continue at
different times and in different
places. designed this too will
never be safe from vengeance on
knock
on the door. Iran said these
actions will be carried out by
the Axis of Resistance, a term
for Iran allied groups in the
region. These include the Syrian
Government, Bala and Lebanon,
Iraqi militant groups and Yemeni
rebels.
Adam Curry: So Israel now
basically claims they have I
think seven different people or
countries attacking them
including Syria, Damascus, I
mean, Syria, Lebanon might be in
this clip. Yeah, but our
Unknown: journey into Gaza at
eras crossing. The border
checkpoint ransacked by Hamas on
October 7, now in shambles,
entering northern Gaza on foot,
the sounds of gunfire ricochet
across the desert as we pass the
vast wasteland of mangled steel
and concrete blocks, tanks
rolling by and the hum of
Israeli drones overhead.
Adam Curry: I don't think that's
the one hold on a second what
was oh, this is it. This is the
I think this is the clip here we
go. So
Unknown: task one Iranian state
television this footage purports
to show the strike that killed
sired Rozay Mousavi, the
esteemed senior adviser in
Iran's Revolutionary Guard who
died on the outskirts of the
Syrian Capitol on Monday, Tehran
has blamed an Israeli
airstrikes. Our
reaction to the assassination
will be smart, strong and with
the necessary effectiveness.
On Tuesday, the Israeli Defense
Minister hinted the country had
retaliated in Syria, but stopped
short of confirming the strike.
On the
normal GFI. We are having a
multi front war. We are under
attack from seven different
fronts, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria,
Judea and Samaria, Iraq, Yemen
and Iran. We have already
responded on six of these
fronts.
Adam Curry: So there you have
it, seven, seven, and who's
paying for all this and it's not
going to stop this is gonna go
on forever. This it's beautiful.
The Military Industrial Complex
loves it. loves it, we'll figure
something out with the border.
We'll do some some little
bullcrap thing and then we'll
get money for more money for
Ukraine. And more money for
Israel. They love this stuff.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: because it's
soaking the American public. And
Adam Curry: you know, and and
we're at peak now. It finally I
was waiting for the report. It
came from PBS thank God
Unknown: UN's nuclear watchdog
reports that Iran has increased
its production of near weapons
grade ways. The International
Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran
has been producing more highly
enriched uranium since late
November, reversing a month long
slowdown. UN inspectors observed
the increase at facilities in
Natanz and for though
Adam Curry: they're just weeks
away from the bomb just weeks
it's coming it's
John C Dvorak: always been weeks
just waiting forever be weeks
away. Why I have some guys are
reporting let's go with Gaza
update.
Unknown: Update guys has health
ministry says at least 241
Palestinians have been killed
over the past 24 hours that's 10
an hour as Israel intensifies
its assault on Gaza, where the
overall death toll has topped
21,000 including 8000 children.
Meanwhile, in the occupied West
Bank and Israeli drone strike
has killed six Palestinians in
the near shrimps refugee camp
near Tulkarm. During an Israeli
raid. Al Jazeera reports Israeli
forces blocked ambulances from
reaching the victims of the
strike. The youngest victim was
16 years old Israeli forces and
settlers have killed at least
300 Palestinians in the occupied
West Bank since Hamas attacked
Israel on October 7.
John C Dvorak: Oh, she of course
is supported in almost secretly
by Qatar. So in the reports
you're going to go Why do you
say that? Because we discussed
this some time ago. This show is
supported by Qatar
Adam Curry: it is yeah,
Democracy Now. Yeah. They give
grants to Democracy Now.
John C Dvorak: I I forget this
is so long ago when we first
unveiled our kind of released
this information Yeah, they're
getting dare if you can tell by
your by their reporting that
they're very pro Palestinian,
anti Israel but it gets
ridiculous I got these is a
democracy now. Ridiculous. It's
just the way it's done here.
Listen to this. Egypt's
Unknown: proposed a plan for a
permanent ceasefire in Gaza. But
on Tuesday, Israel's army chief
said Israel's military operation
in Gaza will continue for quote
many more months. Hamas has also
rejected elements of the
Egyptian proposal. On Tuesday,
the bodies of about 80
Unidentified Palestinians were
buried in a mass grave in Rafah
in southern Gaza. Israel had
seized the bodies in northern
Gaza in order to determine if
any of them were dead Israeli
hostages Israel then return the
bodies to Gaza through the Kadam
Shalom crossing. Meanwhile,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu has reportedly
endorsed expelling all
Palestinians from Gaza. Israeli
news outlets report, Netanyahu
told a group of Israeli
lawmakers Monday quote regarding
voluntary immigration. This is
the direction we're going in. He
said Palestinian leaders
denounced Netanyahu for
embracing what they described as
ethnic cleansing. The 11 week
Israeli assault has already
forced more than 85% of
Palestinians in Gaza to leave
their homes and many have no
homes to return to displace
Palestinians say there are no
safe places remaining in Gaza.
were displaced. We were bombed
by aircraft. The school was not
safe. So we went out. And while
we were leaving, we're snipers
and people were martyred. We
have been out for two days and
the situation has not improved.
The plane is bombing from above
has nothing to snipers as well.
John C Dvorak: So this is like a
pennant or you can call it
slanted or whatever. But the way
she emphasizes that the Israelis
refused the Egyptian idea. And
then of course the Palestinians
did too. But there's no say
that. No, and then there's the
story about the 80 corpses that
were shipped to Israel
Adam Curry: and shown in a rave
or something
John C Dvorak: and then they
shipped them back I mean this
very strange Well,
Adam Curry: that's isn't that
just all propaganda. I mean,
we've run out of babies and
incubators, so we need to do
some
John C Dvorak: good. Let's go
into
Adam Curry: shipping corpses
around and mass graves always a
winner at the news desk.
John C Dvorak: Here's a part two
of this report.
Unknown: Israel's bombardment of
Gaza has also led to a growing
public health catastrophe as
disease spreads due to
contaminated water supplies the
buildup of untreated sewage and
the lack of medical care. Some
Israeli officials have openly
praised the spread of diseases
in Gaza. In November retired
Major General Shuara Island, who
still advises Israel's defense
minister wrote, quote, severe
epidemics in the south of the
Gaza Strip will bring victory
closer, unquote. The public
health crisis in Gaza is also
impacting Israeli soldiers. The
Times of Israel reports one
soldier died after being
infected by a harmful fungus in
Gaza. At least 10 other Israeli
troops are infected after being
exposed to soil contaminated
with sewage waste. Meanwhile,
three more Israeli soldiers have
died in Gaza. 154 Israeli
soldiers have been killed in
Gaza since Israel launched its
ground invasion.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, this is a
part of another meme about the
ill disease in Gaza. This is
from NPR
Unknown: fighting continues in
Gaza between the Israeli
military and Hamas militants.
Israel is still bombing the
Enclave relief group saying
there's no mercy for Palestinian
civilians to go. The World
Health Organization says the
death toll is going to climb
because of disease and bears
already Daniel says the who has
assessed infectious disease
conditions in Gaza.
It's bad and it may well get
worse. Okay, who says rates are
quote soaring? Here's one
example a more than 100,000
cases of diarrhea with rates
among children that are 25 times
higher than before the war, the
WHO says There are also numerous
cases of meningitis, rashes,
scabies, lice and chickenpox.
John C Dvorak: Well, cholera is
next.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah. We
haven't had that one yet. It's
kind of it's kind of depressing.
I mean, nothing's going
nothing's going to change.
Israel is not going to stop. I
mean, it Lebanon is next. That's
why we're gonna have yellow
flags for Lebanon. Well, I have
to change our profiles again.
They are not going to stop. I
mean, people think that they're
this you know, standing in front
of in front of lax is going to
stop this is not going to stop.
The only is going to stop is if
we I guess stop funding it.
John C Dvorak: That's not going
to happen.
Unknown: Today, the White House
announced plans to provide up to
$250 million in additional
military aid to Ukraine. It
includes air defense munitions
and artillery and what will be
the last aid package unless of
course, Congress approves
additional funding houseware
Republicans have insisted a
compromise on immigration along
with us security border. Border
Security rather is crucial to
negotiate any foreign aid
package. Right.
John C Dvorak: Well, I have my
Ukraine clip, which is a little
different is the short Ukraine
short report. Ukrainian
Unknown: forces struck a large
Russian warship and important
occupied Crimea on Tuesday, in
what's been described as one of
the most significant attacks
against Moscow's Black Sea Fleet
and months, but the attack
commences Ukrainian officials
have acknowledged Russia has
seized the frontline town of
Mary Inca in eastern Ukraine
after a month long battle and
the latest setback to Ukraine's
failed counter offensive. I'm
Adam Curry: reading here that
was this UK papers Zelinsky
knows too much and will be
killed off by his own men.
John C Dvorak: We've been
hearing that for like a year
Adam Curry: I know a Poroshenko
is supposedly in the wings
still, we know the portion and
he's a military industrial
complex guy. So that would be
going
John C Dvorak: back to Israel. I
do want to play this contrasting
clip which shows the Democracy
Now he's got kind of one you
know they're very, they've taken
aside is you in bumped di N.
Israel's
Unknown: announced it will stop
automatically granting visas to
employees of the United Nations
after it accused the UN of being
quote complicit partners with
Hamas. Top United Nations
officials have repeatedly called
for a ceasefire in Gaza while
demanding more humanitarian aid
into the Besiege territory.
John C Dvorak: That's the extent
of her report on this which is
very lopsided because I want to
play NTDs version. And this is
the AIDS aid un scandal in depth
in TD
Unknown: really forces released
a record a phone call that
alleges a Hamas controls United
Nations relief efforts in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Hamas released a
video that secretly recorded
Israeli troops before an
unexpected turn of events and
disease. Jason Perry has the
latest on Israel Hamas war
on Wednesday, Hamas terrorists
released a video of what appears
to be Israeli troops recovering
the body of a deceased soldier
while other troops were standing
guard. A terrorist inside a
residence then throws a grenade
at them and opens fire. Hamas
also released footage of another
terrorist inside a residence
firing an explosive at an
apparent Israeli tank. Hamas
terrorists not only control the
Gaza Strip, but according to a
recorded phone call released by
the IDF on Wednesday. Hamas also
controls the United Nations
Relief and Works Agency or
UNWRA. In the phone call a Gazan
resident explains that from the
day, Hamas rose to power they
took control of everything.
And that's how I was looking at
that we look at after
such a significant statement,
the IDF officer asked him to
clarify what he meant
by Hamas, all he did was a
female.
And when it comes to
humanitarian aid, he said Hamas
provides it to their own people
first. We reached out to own
room for comment, but we didn't
get a response before airtime.
Meanwhile, Hamas security
escorted this convoy of trucks
carrying humanitarian aid
including fuel as it made its
entry into the Gaza strip from
Egypt on Wednesday. Israel's
government spokesperson a lon
Levy said this on Wednesday,
UN agencies are currently
struggling to distribute aid at
the pace that Israel is
inspecting it. Unfortunately, to
date, the UN aid mechanism in
Gaza has been woefully
unsuccessful, because it goes
through Onra aid simply isn't
reaching the people who need it,
because Hamas hijacks it, and
Onra covers up for it.
Adam Curry: I just love this
whole system. So we pay we
American taxpayers and we're
taxed by inflation by money
printing so we pay for the bombs
that create the mess. I'm not
saying that forget who side
doesn't matter. But then we also
pay the United Nations for him
to go in and give them aid. Why
are we so crazy? Why are we so
crazy, bro? Why? We're paying
for everything you're paying for
all of it, break it, verbalize
it, build it back up, verbalize
it, take away the food and give
him some food. This is what we
need to see. This is what we
need to understand back
John C Dvorak: to the UN scandal
part two.
Unknown: He also gave this
warning about Hezbollah's
continued attacks across
Israel's northern border.
We are now at a fork in the
road. Either Hezbollah backs off
from the Israeli border in line
with UN resolution 1701 from
2006 or we will push it away
now. ourselves,
Levy's comments come just a day
after Hezbollah terrorist in
Lebanon fired an anti tank
missile at a church in northern
Israel. The attack injured two
Israeli Christians according to
the IDF. Then when Israeli
troops responded to the injured
Hezbollah fired another missile
at the church, injuring nine
Israeli soldiers. Just after the
attack on Tuesday, the IDF
spokesperson accused Hezbollah
of trying to drag Lebanon and
took the war Hamas had started.
He said that if the attacks
continue, Hezbollah will bear
the consequences and
responsibility of an unnecessary
war. And it could bring unwanted
destruction to the people of
Lebanon. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, well, Lebanon
doesn't need much more
verbalizing
John C Dvorak: Malaria is a mess
and and
Adam Curry: of course now we
have to always put it out there.
Fears of a widening war. In a
Unknown: video released by
Israel's Air Force, a fighter
jet shoots down what Israeli
officials say was a drone fired
from Yemen, your territory over
the Red Sea, a sign of continued
escalation with Iranian backed
Houthi rebels. It comes a day
after side Rosie Mousavi one of
Europe's top advisors to its
Revolutionary Guard in Syria was
reportedly killed and an Israeli
airstrike in the Syrian capital
Damascus on Monday, killing tech
Ron vowed to avenge further and
flaming fears that the Israel
Hamas war could engulf the
region. But over the past 24
hours in Gaza, six Israeli
soldiers have been pronounced
dead by the military. And over
240 Palestinians were killed and
multiple Israeli airstrikes.
According to the Hamas run
Ministry of Health. Some victims
so little, and so stop. They
don't cry out in pain. Sean
Casey speaks for the World
Health Organization. We're
seeing almost only trauma cases
come through the door and
it's quite difficult to believe
it's it's a bloodbath as we as
we said before, it's carnage.
Across Gaza, there's no shortage
of pain, as this little boy
cries out. Goodbye. In the
southern city of Rafa tonight,
Palestinian medical workers
buried roughly 80 bodies
released by Israel in a mass
grave. The smell of decomposing
remains was so strong, they said
they couldn't accurately count
how many
Adam Curry: good jobs CBS.
John C Dvorak: And by the way,
that's that report and another
one where they had the guy
saying it was a blood bath.
Yeah, he's standing in a fairly
empty hall. In a hospital.
There's no blood anywhere. There
are people going in and out, no
blood to be seen anywhere,
including on him. And it looked
pretty calm to me. It reminded
me of some of the early COVID
vids now that we saw where there
was nothing going on. We're
getting bad information
generally.
Adam Curry: Well remember what
General Smedley Butler said, war
is a riser racket and it's
that's what it is just war is
war is a racket, just making
money. People be down why can't
we why can't we do get into the
war business and Congo? There's
some good stuff. I mean, is
there no money for these guys
Unknown: protests erupted in
Congo today demanding a redo of
last week's presidential
election. demonstrators took to
the streets of Kinshasa
denouncing what they say was a
flawed vote. Police fire tear
gas and threw rocks to break up
the crowds. One of the main
opposition candidates also
accused police of firing live
bullets. Protesters refuse to
give up.
That people are resisting
marching is our constitutional
right. And it is not over
because they need to take
responsibility for this chaotic
elections. We won't back down
international
observers and rights groups have
also questioned the elections
integrity. They cited polls that
never opened or opened late and
many illegible voter cards.
Final election results are
expected in the coming days.
Adam Curry: Oh, just wait for
Congolese coming. We'll have
people from the Congo coming
now.
John C Dvorak: Bring them in.
Well, that could be that could
be Yeah. From the southern
border. But why don't we? I
don't know that. It's like we
don't want to get involved with
black African.
Adam Curry: Yeah, why not? Are
they not human?
John C Dvorak: We just don't
want to get involved. We got
involved with enough stuff
Adam Curry: now but you can
never have too much stuff going
on. Now.
John C Dvorak: We can only do so
much.
Adam Curry: Okay. But I think
they could add a third war. I
think Janet Yellen would say we
can easily have a third war we
can pay for that. No, and that's
not a problem.
John C Dvorak: Is that your
Yellin
Adam Curry: is pretty bad? It's
not bad at all. So we do a three
by three
John C Dvorak: yes I do have a
three by three that is about
let's start with ABC
Adam Curry: no b can't start at
all until we roll out there now
it's time barred. Experiment by
Jessie
Unknown: comparing ABC, CBS
and NBC
Adam Curry: you cannot kick off
a three by
John C Dvorak: three without the
D gore. Yes before we play the
first one I want to mention now
it looks like when the show the
map of all the crap going on out
there. We have five five bases
in Syria. Bases actual business.
Let's take a look at this. ask
ourselves what? Right and I'm
pro American. But what right do
we have to violate a sovereign
state and just set up shop? Well
all over the place, because
Adam Curry: we're from Turtle
Island back off.
John C Dvorak: Thanks. Weird.
Adam Curry: We're from Turtle
Island. We're here to fix your
country. Tonight
Unknown: new images from us
airstrikes on an Iran affiliated
militia after a Christmas Day
attack on US forces in Iraq that
left three service members
injured one of them critically,
those retaliatory strikes coming
just hours after the US Erbil
airbase was hit with a self
detonating drone in northern
Iraq. President Biden briefed on
the attack immediately
afterward, ordering the
reprisal. Tonight US officials
say those precision airstrikes
likely killed a number of
militants affiliated with the
group khateeb equally part of a
network of Iran backed groups in
the region that have been
targeting US forces over
Washington support for Israel.
This is very prevalent amongst
the Iranians. It's how they
conduct business and it's very
messy because they're using
forces that sometimes don't
actually take direct orders. But
ultimately, it's to push back
against the influence in the
United States. In a statement
Secretary of Defense Lloyd
Austin, saying he and President
Biden will not hesitate to take
necessary action to defend the
United States, our troops and
our interests. There is no
higher priority about 3500 US
troops remain in Iraq and Syria
to prevent the resurgence of
ISIS. And since the start of
Dawn estimates there have been
roughly 100 attacks against US
personnel in the region. And in
Tehran protests this weekend
after state media claimed an
Israeli airstrikes in Syria
killed a top Iranian general
directly responsible for arming
proxy groups in the region.
Tonight Iranian officials vowing
revenge. Tonight, US officials
reporting what is at least the
16th attack in the Red Sea since
the start of the Israel Hamas
war in the last 24 hours, a US
warship along with fighter jets
shooting down a dozen attack
drones as well as several
missiles launched by Iran backed
Houthi militants in Yemen. No
ships were damaged. And there
are no reported injuries
tonight.
Adam Curry: You know, I went
back and looked at that footage
of the Houthis landing that
helicopter on that ship, which
supposedly now is a tourist
attraction.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, I love
it. Man
Adam Curry: that some of that
footage just is unreal. It looks
so much like video game footage.
It's not even funny. I'm not a
helicopter pilot. The way he
landed I didn't even land he
hovers image. I mean there's a
lot of stuff on the deck.
There's not there's a winch only
landing zone so not a landing
zone for the helicopter. And the
way he takes off is like it
seemed almost unreal. And then
you look at the the Houthi
rebels in Chris brand new
uniforms not a spot on them all
identical boots completely clean
something is that is
John C Dvorak: off. I mean um
things amiss very um
Adam Curry: and then the footage
inside it actually you see a guy
in front of you it actually
looks like video game footage.
John C Dvorak: They should have
yes this
Adam Curry: this red game the
Red Sea stuff is a scam and
there's a reason why France
pulled out no one wants to be a
part of it because this somebody
somewhere people know this is a
John C Dvorak: scam spreads and
everybody else pretty much Yeah,
Adam Curry: but why don't they
just saying hey, it's a scam.
You can't do that because it is
John C Dvorak: and when we can
but doesn't mean you can go off
and say Ed was shooting down
Adam Curry: drones. Really?
John C Dvorak: The fun right?
What
Adam Curry: is this and it let's
let's define drone, okay, it's
not a Reaper drone. These these
little drones? Yeah, with a bomb
on them.
John C Dvorak: That is something
that's very awesome. Ganesh is
very very off with this and
these reports are probably part
of it. Let's go to NBC.
Unknown: Tensions flaring in
Iraq as the US conducted
precision airstrikes against
three facilities used by Iranian
backed militias, the US military
saying they killed multiple
fighters, defense officials
sending a clear message to
militia groups and to Iran. The
US strikes in retaliation for an
attack on Erbil airbase in Iraq
on Christmas Day. US officials
say militants launched an attack
drone that struck the base,
injuring three US troops, one in
critical but now stable
condition and being transferred
to launch tool. In a statement
Secretary of Defense Lloyd
Austin said these precision
strikes are a response to a
series of attacks against US
personnel in Iraq and Syria.
There have been at least 105
attacks against bases with
Americans in Iraq and Syria over
the past two months, causing
minor injuries. These incidents
have dramatically increased
since the October 7 Tomasi
attack against Israel rousing
Iranian backed militia groups
throughout the region, including
the Houthi rebels in Yemen who
have assaulted commercial ships.
Just today US forces shut down a
dozen one way attack drones as
well as ballistic this
Adam Curry: new this new new
term, one way attack drones.
I've heard it before I haven't
heard this before
Unknown: we've assaulted
commercial ships. Just today US
forces shot down a dozen one way
attack drones as well as
ballistic and land attack cruise
missiles fired by the Houthis in
the Red Sea region. According to
US Central Command, while
chortling in Israel last week,
Secretary Austin warned of an
expanding regional conflict.
Iran
is raising tensions by
continuing to support terrorist
groups and malicious
attacks by these Iranian proxies
threatened region citizens and
risk a broader conflict. Cordy
joins us tonight live from the
Pentagon and there's a new
warning from an international
watchdog group
about Iran's nuclear program.
Yeah,
yeah, that's right. Tom.
International Atomic Energy
Agency says Iran has sped up
production of highly enriched
uranium material used to produce
a nuclear bomb production slowed
earlier this year while the US
and Iran negotiated the release
of hostage in fact, I would say
bom bom, bom
Adam Curry: bom bom bom We can't
risk it. Come on Lloyd Austin,
come on, come on man call for
the bombs bomb.
John C Dvorak: So just to remind
everybody's mind as to my
position on some of this. So
they they're killing Iraqis,
basically. And the Iraqi Iraqi
Government wants us out. And if
you listen to any Al Jazeera
report, they're sick of it. And
they're, we're killing them. And
they don't why why are we there?
We're supposed to be out of
Iraq. But no, no, no, we have a
bunch of bases there. We have a
bunch of bases in Syria. And the
Iraqis in particularly one
Assad. I'm sure the Syrians do
too. And so we're bombing him
doing what we have to fight
back. But we don't do jack about
the drones in Yemen. We have We
know where they're coming from
exactly what we pinpoint where
the rockets and drones recover?
Why don't we bomb them? We
don't. Why don't we that adds to
your adds credence to your
thesis that that whole Yemen
thing is bullcrap. And
Adam Curry: don't we still have
the base in Djibouti? Which is
right across the water? I
John C Dvorak: think we probably
do. And whatever the case is the
Something's fishy about these
reports. So let's go to CBS,
which is basically the same
report with a variation or to
Unknown: the American bombs
struck three locations in Iraq
in the predawn hours, leaving at
least one dead and more than a
dozen injured. A US official
told CBS News one target was a
warehouse believed to hold
drones used by Iranian backed
militias to attack American
troops. Drone fired at an
airbase in northern Iraq on
Christmas Day, injured three
American service members, one of
them critically, it's
a continuation though, Iran and
Iranians supported groups or
Iranian aligned militias on on
the ground in Iraq continuing to
push the boundaries and trying
to identify where the red lines
are for the Americans. And in
this particular case, I think
they found it do you
think the militias deliberately
crossed that red line,
they're always pushing to try to
see just how far they could go.
It was only
the fourth time the Biden
administration has retaliated
for the more than 100 attacks
conducted by Iranian backed
militias against American troop
locations in Iraq and Syria.
Since Israel invaded Gaza. The
Biden administration is treading
a thin line between retaliating
and triggering a wider war with
Iran. The
US has been trying to avoid
escalating the conflict, too
much damage and there's a risk
of a massive and potentially
cast Traffic response that
results in uncontrolled
escalation.
The war is also threatening to
escalate in the Red Sea today in
110 hour period, an American
destroyer and jet fighters from
the aircraft carrier eyes now,
down to a total of 17 drones and
missiles fired a commercial
vessels by the Iranian backroom.
Adam Curry: Camp Lemonnier a
Illimani, a United States Naval
Base situated next to Djibouti
International Airport. We've had
it since 2002.
John C Dvorak: centerpiece of
Moines isn't a lot more Moin or
something like that
Adam Curry: limb on yay. The
base supports Operation Enduring
Freedom Horn of Africa, as the
centerpiece of a network of
around six US drone and
surveillance bases stretching
across the continent. It is
strategically located by the BB
l Mandeb. strait which we've
heard that name, it's right
there. And yet, we can't figure
it out. Though we can figure it
out. But we don't want to we
don't want to
John C Dvorak: know I think it's
worse than that is something
going on as Red Sea thing is, is
good jacks up the price oil does
some benefit, though, is
Adam Curry: that what's the oil
doing?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's going
up, it's going up, you know,
like $8 but it's like it jacks
up the price of oil is something
like you said scam ish about the
whole thing. And that Yemenis
take over that ship, which is
now a tourist attractions, which
people think we might have been
joking about. But no, they're
actually shipping people out
there and letting them float
around the ship as a tourist
attraction, which is I can go to
it. And
Adam Curry: what is there to see
it's just me and go
John C Dvorak: you could
probably honk the horn and who
knows what you do
it's just there's a scam
viciousness that just surrounds
all of this that is just besides
soaking the taxpayer and
continuing the I have no idea
what what the end game is.
Everybody denies that as created
larger conflict because nobody
wants that supposedly
Adam Curry: I don't know it's
it's no it's like disappointing.
It's like can't
John C Dvorak: quite put your
finger on to something is up and
the Europeans did all bailed out
with helping us they they know
something's up buddies don't
they're not saying maybe
Adam Curry: they like the weird
blowing our money on this
nonsense. And
John C Dvorak: that's always a
possibility. But you know your
money being the reserve
currency. It screws everybody.
So I don't know if that's true.
Adam Curry: Well, this is also
good for for military style
stuff back here at home and in
the hinterland in the homeland
because of course you need more
security for New Year's Eve is
going to be dangerous red lights
blinking this morning.
Unknown: New York City is
getting ready for the biggest
party of the year.
More than a million people are
expected to cram in a Time
Square to watch the ball drop on
New Year's Eve. The mayor says
police will be prepared. There's
always a serious concern around
safety in New Year's Eve because
there's a large number of people
the police department is on top
of it. ABC
News has obtained a threat
assessment by the FBI, NYPD and
other agencies that says the
ball drop could draw interest
from malicious actors looking
for targets of opportunity or
from Lone offenders inspired by
or reacting to the ongoing
Israel Hamas conflict. The
security plan includes 1000s of
officers miles of metal
barricades plus drones, dogs and
hundreds of surveillance cameras
all to keep the crowds safe. I
think it's a pretty safe bet
that someone is going to try to
do something to distract or
disrupt the events in Time
Square.
In recent years, though
extremists have almost
exclusively targeted law
enforcement or military
personnel. Just a year ago, at
this very celebration, a young
man from Maine attacked police
officers with a knife as they
worked a security checkpoint.
It's real
Herculean task to manage that
number of people without being
heavy handed, but being
protective. Okay.
Adam Curry: All right. New York
will be fine, I'm sure.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yes, sure.
Will.
Adam Curry: You want to do a
little bit of climate change for
a moment because there is some
kind of hopeful news although
quite funny that PBS brought us
Unknown: and Beijing has
recorded the most hours of below
freezing temperatures in
December in more than seven
decades. A bitter cold wave and
heavy 70 years I was in northern
and central parts of China.
Adam Curry: I was I've been
watching these 70 years I've
watched the news reports and
documentaries, about glaciation
and how that actually works.
Yeah. And it's, it appears to be
inverse to the logic. When it's
really cold. That's when the
glaciers actually recede in
their normal cycle and when it
gets warm the glaciers grow.
Have
John C Dvorak: you heard of
this? No, not the way you're
describing
Adam Curry: I'm sure I'm not
describing it correctly. But I
mean, an all we're seeing is the
glaciers actually growing.
They're not melted that I know
of. Yeah. That they're, they're
over, you know, like over like a
40 year period. They've grown
Yeah, they, of course, within
the in the summer, they melt a
little bit, and that compacts
and then they come back strong
as glacier just packed snow or
whatever. Definitely
John C Dvorak: moving back and
forth. No doubt about that. But
Adam Curry: anyway, with all of
this
John C Dvorak: competent nail
Gore clipped I don't have it on
here, but I don't get it.
Adam Curry: Oh, no. Oh, no,
that's horrible. But what what
the what?
John C Dvorak: I don't know that
remember? Clipping that clip? I
Adam Curry: don't know. Well,
while you're looking for it, no,
I
John C Dvorak: don't sit on
here. There's no way I can not
gonna find it.
Adam Curry: I would say Bill
Gates knew it all along. We've
always said this is the way out
and it looks like countries who
are afraid they're gonna get
dinged for not being net
neutral. Carbon net neutral by
2030. They're wising up you
Unknown: can power is on a roll.
In its latest success. Poland
has authorized the construction
of 24 small nuclear reactors at
six sites across the country.
And two, because electricity
production in Poland is one of
the most carbon intensive in the
world, with still almost 70% of
the electricity coming from
coal. Nuclear power is back in
fashion in many countries,
because of its potential to
decarbonize even energy
intensive industries quickly so
Japanese who shut down the
nuclear power plants after the
Fukushima accident in 2011, are
using them again, and are
planning to build new ones to in
California environmentalists
have stopped complaining about
nuclear power, and are now
fighting to get the plants back
online. In Sweden, teenagers
demand that Greenpeace drops the
resistance to nuclear power. And
even the Germans are rethinking
their decision to phase out
nuclear power.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think
that's an optimistic report. I'm
not buying it because she's
wrong about Fukushima played my
Fukushima clip.
Adam Curry: Oh, you have a
Fukushima clip. But I don't know
if there's restarting Fukushima
worse for you if you're trying
John C Dvorak: to but it's not
restarted, she kind of implies
that it's been restarted. But
here's the story.
Unknown: Moving closer to
reopening the world's largest
nuclear power plant, which was
shut down following the
Fukushima nuclear disaster in
2011. Earlier today, Japan's
nuclear regulator lifted its
safety ban on the plant, which
is run by TEPCO. That's Tokyo
Electric Power. Local government
bodies still need to sign off on
the plants reopening.
Adam Curry: Okay, I mean, but in
general, it seems like nuclear
is back in fashion. That's
that's kind of correct. People
are thinking about it. Let's
hope
John C Dvorak: so. I'm not
completely buying into it. But
yeah, I've got a how many they
say Poland wants to open
Adam Curry: six? Six SMRs? Or?
Yeah, the little one? Yeah. The
teeny ones. That makes so much
sense. Yes, those? Yes. Well,
John C Dvorak: we haven't opened
one of those in this country
that I know of. No, no.
Adam Curry: Do you remember when
15 minutes cities and everyone's
like, Oh, 15 minutes cities and
it'll be back. Everyone is
saying, Oh, this is conspiracy
theory.
John C Dvorak: Conspiracy
therapy. We're doing this yet.
Okay. No, we had clips of it. Of
that. No, I know about the 15
Minute cities but I wouldn't
know we had clips
Adam Curry: of people saying
that they're going here. This is
the BBC. This is from April, the
Unknown: 15 minutes city for
years. It's been a buzzword in
urban planning. But now the
concept has gone mainstream and
become a magnet for protests
around the world, from Canada to
the UK, with conspiracy groups
claiming they're designed to
imprison us in our
neighborhoods.
Adam Curry: It's all conspiracy
theory. But But this cop 28 Man,
they're all over the 15 Minute
cities. 15 minutes? Yes, yes.
With rapid here. This is from
there. Well, you're
John C Dvorak: in a 15 minute
city. When do you go in the car
more than 50 miles? I
Adam Curry: don't even get in
the car. With rapid population
growth and urbanization cities
around the world are
battlegrounds for our fight
against climate change. The
latest IPCC report highlights
integrated urban planning can
reduce emissions by 23 to 26% by
2050. Sprawling congestion must
be transformed into density and
conductivity. pollution must be
restored to clean air and car
dominated roads and highways
must give way to people centric
streets who people centric
streets, clean nature friendly
neighborhoods. And yeah, mulch
granny. emerging models like the
15 Minute city focus on urban
proximity and quality of life
and representing a turning
point. And so there's this C 40
Network. Have you heard of this?
Okay, a network of 100 mayors of
the world's leading cities is
increasing actions to accelerate
the adoption of the 15 Minute
city highly livable, walkable
people oriented cities, the
brother the green and thriving
neighborhood program created in
collaboration with urban
partners, provides deep support
to more than 40 cities to help
them turn the 15 Minute cities
into reality into real Oh, see
40 That's those mayors also
launched a tool to measure the
impacts of 15 minutes city with
Novo Nordisk what are those guys
doing in it? Money so I looked
for this in their on their
website this what Nigel Farage
is about to tell us so take that
with a grain of salt. I came in
late, so I'm not sure if he's
full of crap but typically he
he's able to back up what he
says. Here's his lament about 50
of us the C 40 project and the
15 Minute cities we all love
jetting off to
Unknown: the Mediterranean
somewhere warm it could be a
golf weekend family holiday boys
stag do to Ibiza who knows you
name it? We love doing it.
You've never heard of C 40 So
there's no reason why you should
96 cities involved including
London International
Organization chaired by one city
comm given government funding
their latest report is in order
to save the world from climate
change.
Adam Curry: You should only be
allowed one return airfare every
three years. I suggest you join
me in telling city comm where to
go or is he right one return
airfare every three years Oh
hope we hope we get to witness
that. We're still doing the show
it'll be a great day. And I
convinced right
John C Dvorak: not convinced.
Well, what else we got? I got
I'm pretty much running out of
stuff here I do have the gas
stoves thing wow this is a super
we've heard this before but I'm
gonna play the super cut. Good
gas stove super cut you may have
heard it is classic.
Unknown: You might think that
the US government is coming for
your gas stove. That is a new
and absolutely ridiculous one
that comes on Fox News and
Republicans are up in arms
because they say the government
is coming to take your stoves
what Republicans are saying is
dammit they're gonna take your
gas though GOP have been stoking
ridiculous new freecom about gas
stoves
no one is taking your gas stove.
It's a right wing freakout over
the use of gas stoves is maybe
the latest in a long series of
made up culture war battles
designed to enrage and rile up
their right wing and paranoid
base.
publicans are prone to
conspiracy theories, whether
it's, you know, the Kooky like
JFK juniors coming back from the
dead to run with Trump or the
sort of duplicitous like this
administration is coming to take
away your gas stoves or stop
Adam Curry: for a second Yeah,
we did play this was okay well,
I'll play I'll play it again but
it
John C Dvorak: goes on and you
want to play more just played
that one the gas stove story
Adam Curry: I wanted to say
something about that report. So
remind me to come back to that
because there's something I was
a guest of what I'm I'm looking
forward I can't Oh where's it
where's
John C Dvorak: the get is I
guess let me look. You said
Adam Curry: guest Oh story of
guests go. Oh,
John C Dvorak: shoot. I
Unknown: got it. I got New York
City is moving to snuff out
gassed of New York becoming the
first state to ban natural gas
and other fossil fuels and most
new buildings including gas
stoves. The new law requires all
electric heating and cooking in
new building shorter than seven
storeys by 2027 or Cathy Hoko.
And the democratic control state
legislature approved a bill on
Tuesday prohibiting the use of
fossil fuels for heating and
cooking. The law is the first
statewide ban in the nation and
goes into effect in 2026.
Beautiful,
Adam Curry: beautiful excellent
so
John C Dvorak: all these guys
all of them on MSNBC in
particular and also CNN going on
and on and on showing off about
gas stoves and we're in the
Republicans are all net and then
this happens and this is just
the beginning. I know California
is gonna go for this it started
with fireplaces. They stopped
him in all new housing
development. You couldn't put a
fireplace in and as you're going
to be guessed those next in
Washington State's easy to do
that because half the state's
already all electric you
Adam Curry: know what we need to
invest in Bunsen burners sterno
was storing oh what's lunch?
Bunsen? What are those? Were
those cans storing up dirt
John C Dvorak: Oh what are you
talking about? Oh yeah propane
Adam Curry: yeah oh yeah. Oh
propane that'd be not what I
wanted to say is there's there's
there's something in that report
of that supercut about JFK Jr.
Coming back to run with us
people keep talking about this.
And I you know, serious they
John C Dvorak: keep their they
brought it back up because the Q
anon one of the Q anon guys died
within the last Jedi died in
June or something. And he was
the guy who promoted this and
had the big the big meeting in
Dallas to to say hello to JFK
Jr. When he showed up. Of
course, he never showed up of
course.
Adam Curry: Oh, what a what a
bummer. He didn't show up. Oh,
no. So you mute
John C Dvorak: but this guy just
died recently. And I think that
and I think he may have been Q
anon because q anon has just
fallen off the the map places
leader. Yeah. Well, I think
that's that's what you heard
Adam Curry: is that and there's
one more of that is somewhat
troubling that people really
really are going for this. All
the Victoria's Secret models are
men. Taylor. Taylor Swift is a
man. Jennifer Aniston is now
Jennifer Aniston. It's really
odd. I don't and it's a wonder
why I don't know it's catching
fire though. It was like oh this
all men and there are people
very serious about this. There's
entire telegram groups that you
know oh yeah. Oh no, they're all
men. They're dudes. Well, this
John C Dvorak: is like the birds
aren't real.
Adam Curry: Well that's true. We
all know that. And with that,
I'd like to thank you for your
warning to you the man who put
the CD in the penta con ladies
gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other end the One Only
Mr. John Cena
John C Dvorak: well in money new
Mr. Adam curry in the morning
your ships and seeing boots on
the ground and feet in the air
and subs in the water games are
nice out there in the morning.
Adam Curry: Hanging out in the
room at troll room.io Or you
might be listening on a modern
podcast app.
I got him 616 5816 100 down.
John C Dvorak: Oh no. 200 200
down it says it was last same as
last week. I checked
Adam Curry: him about 20 minutes
ago was 1733. So it's kind of on
par. We're kind of equal.
Thanks. By the way, I think the
Swift up is over.
John C Dvorak: Oh, what
happened? headline, Yoko
Adam Curry: swift doe fans mock
video of Taylor Swift comforting
Brittany mahomes amid chiefs
downfall. So she is now being
seen as the reason the Chiefs
failed.
John C Dvorak: So so it was not
the fact that the receivers
can't catch the ball. Dropping
dropping. Number one team for
drop passes did not have to do
it that the name
Adam Curry: Yoko swift toe says
I like to go
John C Dvorak: swift Oh, coast
Swift.
Adam Curry: You broke up the
band man, Yoko swift toe. Well,
these trolls are hanging out in
the troll room and you can join
them by going to troll room.io
which is, which is a good place
you can get the live stream.
There's live that we've started
revolution, really this live
podcasting where people just
record instead of being like
Phil Spector with a wall of
sound and recording and going
back and removing every and Ebb
and cutting out silences making
completely inhumane which is
part of the reason podcasts for
the podcast winter. blame it all
on that and all this NPR people
try well, and we do it and do
podcasts like we do NPR? It's
great. It's gonna be fantastic.
No, no, just one.
John C Dvorak: Good, do it.
Adam Curry: Do it live. Do it
live. Oh, here's the Hollywood
Reporter. I have I have a go
podcasting report. Ready for
this? Yeah, going into 2020 for
podcasting executives. But not
that would be you know, it's not
me. Podcasting. Executives
remain incredibly bullish on
growth in the sector, with an
actor in the sector, with an eye
towards creating multiple
revenue streams for creators and
using artificial intelligence
and video to expand the
audience.
John C Dvorak: To the audience
is going to be aI Yeah.
Adam Curry: Exactly what will
soak the advertisers with AI
audience Exactly. I think you're
right. I think you nailed it. So
you You can go to troll room.io
And that's where you can, of
course, Listen Live and you
control along. It's very
healthy, it's a good place for
you to do it. Don't do this on
social media that's very bad.
You are literally not loving
your neighbors as yourself when
you do that. The word you're
bitching and moaning and saying
horrible things. And that's okay
in a troll room because that's
just like Tourette's. Just get
it out there to femoral rolls
away. No one can call you on it
later. And it's a good place to
let it all hang out. It's like
a, like a wailing wall. You
know, just a place to go yell,
go yell at the clouds. Do it in
the troll room, please. That is
the appropriate people yelling
at me all day and I feel good
about it. Because I know Yeah.
Oh, in the troll room. Oh, they
said horrible things. Like what?
Give me an example trolls can be
something horrible that you give
them
John C Dvorak: something trolls
let it let him have it. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Let's see. Rap
sucks. Okay. raps I swear to
you. Them sucks. We hate you
see, this?
John C Dvorak: sucks. Yeah,
Adam Curry: there was only
created an X with an X with an
X. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: of course. It's
always with an X.
Adam Curry: Yes. Adam is gay.
There we go. Your mom is gay.
JCD is ugly. All the chiefs are
bang and swift. I mean, this is
great. Even Jesus thinks Adams
conversion is annoying.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's a
good one. I like that one. Well,
boy, that's the rest of them are
lame.
Adam Curry: Let's create let's
go Brandon. Yes. Okay, who cut
your hair curry. All right. All
right. See? So that's usually
it's a little worse than that.
But you know, the put them on
the spot. They kind of fall
down. They choke this chokers
their doubt towards whether
they're choke controls are
chokers, this show control.
Choke controls. No good, y'all.
Anyway, that's the place to go.
And you can also do that in a
modern podcast app don't fall
for what the podcasting
executives say. Beaune, whatever
they are. Yeah, well, it's the
Spotify, people who throw your
favorite podcast off. It's
Google podcasts, which are
closing and now you have to
import your subscriptions into
into YouTube music. Oh, yeah,
that's right. So we're now gonna
get him out and podcast, avid
podcast apps.com. And when we
update the show, and we publish
it 90 seconds, your app is
telling you that none of this to
our weight from Apple. Although
Apple could be part of our
system, they just like climate
change. They'd like to ruin the
world by polling feeds all day
long.
John C Dvorak: And is that
somebody that's just like, yeah,
that's that is a an issue.
climate issue.
Adam Curry: It is a huge climate
issue. It's I hear it's worse
than Bitcoin, which is
John C Dvorak: the same thing.
Adam Curry: I'm sure you have a
value for value. Since we don't
count on AI or video to grow the
audience, whatever that means.
And so we can monetize you. We
don't like doing that. All we
want to do is just do the show.
We want you to like the show.
And if you do send us some value
back we call it the value for
value model. We pioneered it.
We're very proud of it. People
are now using it in many
different arenas. And that's
that's a good thing. It's a very
good thing, then you can do that
through time, talent or
treasure. Now we love it when
people promote the show hit
people in the mouth. There's all
kinds of nice things you can do
that none of that is ever shows
up on no agenda social. There's
rarely anything nice there. But
you could create websites for
that. Without a doubt Sir Paul
couture has done such a
beautiful job in bringing back
the no agenda Art Generator,
really appreciate the work that
he's that he's done on that to
make it not just work again. But
he upgraded the whole thing.
Then it has some spiffy little
spiffy little new additions, we
got the leaderboard there you
can see which artists have been
picked the most and we always
get the scholar, an entire
smorgasbord of art to choose
from which is beautiful. Even if
we don't choose your art. We
really appreciate that you did
that for the show because new
art is what makes the show
great. It makes it noticeable.
It gets people interested, and
we want to thank dirty Jersey
whore for bringing us the
artwork for episode 1619 That
was titled flash to bang. Now I
got an explanation of flash to
bang flash to bang from K OG
phonebook. OGFO MK flash to bang
is an artillery term for
visually seeing a flash and then
as the sound travels you can
assess how far away the
explosion is by the speed of
sound.
John C Dvorak: Yes like doing
lightning you can figure out how
far away the lightning flash
Adam Curry: the bank count flash
the bank, I guess it's probably
one second for every kilometer I
think or every mile.
John C Dvorak: run everything
mile per second.
Adam Curry: Oh, before I forget
one of our you know, the the no
agenda logo, which is you know,
classic with the with the, I
think what is our classic with
is that with the microphone, the
M five
John C Dvorak: with the
microphone the the cross through
it,
Adam Curry: and that is on on a
race car. That race car is
driven by Ashlyn SPIE Ashlynn.
John C Dvorak: Speed, I put a
link to the video that her dad
posted. Very good video of
Ashlynn and and yeah, yeah, they
got our sticker on there. Yeah.
And it is a killer driver. She's
gonna be very famous. She's
Adam Curry: gonna be incredibly
famous. We are very proud to be
on her car. And she her dream is
indie. And I think she can make
that. She's there looking for
sponsors for 2020s. Or like 17
or something. Yes, yes. And she
does lap records and everything.
Yeah. And she just, I think we
can say badass. And you know,
that's the kind of if, anyway, I
think people should if you're
into the you're into sponsoring
cars, that's a driver, you want
to look out for him. We're very,
very proud to have that free
publicity on her car. And it's
prominently displayed displayed
in that documentary. I might
add, like, Oh, look at that.
There's no agenda logo. So back
to dirty Jersey whore. He
brought us the Santa Claus with
the nice list and we were both
on it check marked. It was
interesting because it it was
not the actual format that we
typically like or typically the
the template was,
John C Dvorak: it was yes, it
was different. Yes. No
Adam Curry: agenda at the top
and then you have Craig vorak
down below. This was the No, it
was the no agenda. Nice list. I
liked that Santa had the mic and
he had the headphones. I was
kind of cute because there was a
lot of Santa art. A lot of
Christmas art. We always do that
when it comes Christmas time.
And let's see some of the things
we've looked at other people I
John C Dvorak: got a kick out of
like next to that too. Over. Is
the black swan inspired and
instead of a black swan is a
black duck. Yes. Just thought
that was written into next to
Santa here at this nice list.
One is that picture of Taylor
Swift. Yeah, not done by AI
generator here. Darren, this is
gonna be the future of a lot of
this stuff. Yeah, well, so we're
just everything's AI I mean,
number of original pieces on
here is minor. Yeah, this is
Adam Curry: true. It's going
away. There was a merry
christmas goat. Just kind of
cute, but we're more we're
traditionalists. So we did talk
for a while about Martin J Jays
Santa with a big candy cane. If
you recall that one. Yeah. But
why didn't we pick that?
Unknown: Where is it? It's
Adam Curry: it's down near the
bottom there
John C Dvorak: on the ball Yeah,
well, I thought we didn't Yeah,
you're right because Martin JJ
decided to come back from the
dead and produce some art he was
dominating the whole thing for a
long time. Yeah, I think it was
because it was it didn't have
the kind of flair that the
naughty nice list did it which
is something original. This was
very I would say unoriginal it
was just
Adam Curry: a it was kind of a
nice yeah, just a nice Santa's
pic Yeah,
John C Dvorak: yeah, it was a
nice pic. It was dynamite. And
it couldn't be used, but it
wasn't didn't have any any
oomph. I think I
Adam Curry: would say the the
close second disgust for sure
was the Jewish Christmas with
yes this what
John C Dvorak: if it wasn't for
the fact that it was Christmas
Christmas Christmas we left for
real Christmas sorry, the Jewish
Christmas one which was in done
in Chinese style lettering. With
a Merry Christmas and a Jewish
star on a Chinese takeout
container. Yeah. Absolutely
funniest piece by correct a
record of all the pieces but it
was a little more than we could
probably know wasn't going to
happen but we appreciate it
humor. We
Adam Curry: did. I even sent it
to Horowitz. He thought bless
you. He thought it was pretty
funny. Because I said where are
you going to? Bless you. Oh, you
got cool. Sorry. You got the
coop.
John C Dvorak: We got the sneeze
you got the coop. I know
Horowitz woody I was gonna send
him a copy of it. But I bet you
did. Yeah, so definitely funny.
Adam Curry: Thank you dirty
Jersey whore. We appreciate what
you do there. We thank you so
much for putting that together
for us. Thank you of course to
all of the artists for all of
the artwork that you do and for
all producers, anyone who's
delivering time talent treasure,
we appreciate you so much that
is what kept that has kept us on
the air and we continue to do so
as long as the value flow goes
both ways is we're providing you
values in the back the show
continues. It's that easy was
just like a whorehouse. I don't
know. What did I say that? I'm
not sure why. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Disgusting.
Adam Curry: Let's thank our
executive producers and
associated executive producers
kicking it off with Sir otaku
from Flower Mound, Texas, who
comes in with a cool oh, this is
uh, this was for the 123123
promotion. Yeah. Tell us about

She says that Vegas is loaded to
the gills with people getting

that and I didn't think about it
but yeah, because you want to

recommendation. So you never
miss an anniversary. You want to
get married on something that's
memorable.
Adam Curry: Yeah, like 88888
John C Dvorak: yeah as me 88888

reason for it. He says John and

very appropriate. No, we got you

the boss of broken ladder ranch.
I assume he's on today's list.

Adam Curry: from afraid to play

luck with podcasting. I don't
like the end of it but good luck
with its flips a little bit luck
with podcasting.
Unknown: I just don't think so.
Good.
Adam Curry: What? Well, you
heard it, good.
John C Dvorak: cucina.
Podcasting, podcasting.
Adam Curry: Okay, good luck with
podcasting. And now it's time
for Google. To see now we looked
at the we have some actual
player data were able to see and
what we noticed is that people,
there's a little drop off during
the donation segment, but people
come back to listen To the good
news segment, I think
John C Dvorak: that coming back
to listen to the ISO challenge.
Adam Curry: Well, they're
staying for the good news
segment. So I'll take it. What
do you have today, John, for
your good news.
John C Dvorak: We have a story
from Midwest. Save
Adam Curry: your glasses on and
look,
John C Dvorak: it's the
Christmas miracle. Now wait a
minute, where you play it. We've
had animal stories. Yeah, we've
had people stories, babies and
tornadoes story. We have
everything so far, but we
haven't had this kind of
Christmas miracle. The Holidays
Unknown: had a rocky start for
the Hansen's but getting their
car back just in time for
Christmas, they say is the best
gift they could ask for. We got
the news that it was stolen
right after Thanksgiving. The
only thing worse than having
your car stolen is having it
happen around the holidays. So
it was gut wrenching. Matt And
Christy Hanson love their 9095
accurate Integra so much. They
invested $18,000 And we're
storing it for their son. But
their plans vanished when it was
stolen from a body shop on
November 29. It would be the
best Christmas miracle. And that
was one of the things that she
had said that it would really be
a Christmas miracle to make
their Christmas if, if they were
able to find their car. Travis
Christiansen
saw the story on KSL. But no one
could imagine what happened
next. It
was like a needle in a haystack
on a
work drive. Travis spotted the
car tucked behind a building and
Taylorsville just
got a closer look at the car and
thought Man, this really looks
like the car. And so I was able
to go and dig up the KSL
article. He
messaged me, I think I found
your car. He sent some pictures.
I couldn't believe it. He didn't
want any of our reward money. He
was just happy to get our car
back. I felt
really good to be a part of that
and helping them help get that
car back to him. So they could
they could drive it, enjoy it
and continue to make memories
with it. Travis
knows firsthand what it's like
to have a car stolen, making
this experience that much
better.
It's a really fun story to be a
part of.
This is another chapter in this
cars story.
As for the Hansen's they plan to
pay it forward,
I think that's a reminder that
we can help other people more
than we know.
Now, as you heard Travis isn't
interested in that monetary
reward, but he says he really
wants to take a picture with the
family. And of course the red
Acura I'm going to make here KSL
five news.
Adam Curry: Oh, isn't that nice?
You could have cut it down by 30
seconds.
John C Dvorak: I realize it's
under two minutes. I'm good with
it. Well,
Adam Curry: it was a nice
miracle a Christmas miracle the
red Christmas miracle read
accurate as back Oh, I'm so
happy.
Unknown: A good news story from
JCD had the vibes for you and me
and we all feel better now he's
done his bit. To back to
reality. That's turning to shit.
Adam Curry: Good news,
everybody. You know, it's a good
balance. I like doing these good
news segments. It makes
everybody feel good. It does
people feel good. Don't Don't
you feel good by by playing the
good news segment.
John C Dvorak: I think it's
dynamite segment if it's getting
people to listen, so that now
they have to listen to in the
show mixes which are usually
better than than the good show.
Oh,
Adam Curry: they're always
better than the good news.
John C Dvorak: We are better
than half the show.
Adam Curry: We got Professor JJ
checking in from China. He's got
an under Show mix. We got Leo
Laporte. I'm sorry Leola puke.
Wow, that would have been
amazing. I don't know how that
came up all of a sudden must be
on my mind. And we got Sir Chris
Wilson, bringing you and of show
mixes right here and coming up
