Adam Curry: Buzzkill. Well, this

John C Dvorak: Way to go. Yeah.
I didn't expect to have this
statistic. I was doing some
research. Oh, you were doing
your own research ship and ran
into
Adam Curry: research. He calls
it honey, I'm upstairs in my
office doing research.
John C Dvorak: It's research.
What would you call it? Just
Adam Curry: checking the

So raise the pie to our host,
John and Adam. And before you

hedonistic Bacchanalia as a
drink in excess in the name of a
paper saint. Remember to set
aside some treasure for our
favorite media.
deconstructionists. Thank you
for your courage.
Adam Curry: And just to point
out the obvious this is not AI.
Or is it?
John C Dvorak: Oh, I'm pretty
sure it's AI.
Adam Curry: I thought we had a
producer who could actually talk
that way. Well, Liz,
John C Dvorak: is the producer
provided with that it's possible
you could you could have that
voice.
Adam Curry: Yeah. I mean, don't
don't do that. Don't you go to
Ireland. They all they all talk
like that? Don't
John C Dvorak: actually they do.
I thought when you leave it,
we'll leave it up in the air for
now.
Adam Curry: I wouldn't. How was
this? Did you request it? Or
does she just send it as I love
our producer? We got this is a
value for value podcast and you
won't hear an ad. You won't hear
anything like that. No creepy
corporate money. No, nope.
Native Ads, little sneaky stuff
in there. No. And all we ask for
is that if you get any value
from the show, you return it
with your time, your talent or
your treasure and go to cylinder
mint.com.
John C Dvorak: So I'm I said, I
would like to get off by
discussing a little bit of this
situation with that Trump clip
that came in from one of our
producers.
Adam Curry: Yes, I have the two
clips at the ready.
John C Dvorak: First of all, I
heard you know, I went back and
forth this is from I think just
a day or two ago and Trump was
in Ohio. He gave us a little
lengthy speech as well.
Adam Curry: Yep, yeah. And he
came right in and did it without
prompter. He had a prompter
there. No, but he said the
prompt that said my great staff
put the prompter on really
stable footing was windy. He
says I can't read it. Because it
was just waving
John C Dvorak: we need a prompt
or Jen does better without the
prompt. She would I agree. I
agree with the ad libs but so I
this was a long, long clip that
we're going to play and discuss
it and it comes out that we're
what
Adam Curry: can I can I can I
play the news report first.
John C Dvorak: Which news to
report. Did
Adam Curry: you get? CBS?
John C Dvorak: Yes, I want I
want to hear this report.
Because this morning I was
saying in the in the email
exchange. Well, I have yet to
hear anybody exploit this clip.
And scripts news. I'm watching
scripts of all places. And they
did it to me. Oh
Adam Curry: yeah. This is this
is one of those genius things.
And I think Trump does it for
this reason. I'm looking at
like,
John C Dvorak: I don't think he
nobody could be that smart.
Adam Curry: All right. He's
playing Five D chess man what
you talking about? But when I
when I asked myself in the
morning, what does the algo tell
me to pay attention to today?
This is what came up
Unknown: on the political front.
Today former President Trump was
on the campaign trail in the
battleground state of Ohio. The
Buckeye State is friendly
territory for Trump. He won
there in 2016 and 2020.
Appearing in a rally in Dayton
he addressed the crowd
speculating what would happen if
he loses the upcoming
presidential election.
Now if I don't get elected, it's
going to be a bloodbath for the
whole, that's going to be the
least of it. It's going to be a
bloodbath for the country. That
will be the least of it.
Today's topic Aron's comes just
one day after Trump's former
Vice President Mike Pence said
he cannot in good conscience
endorse him again.
Adam Curry: I mean, Tiffany, Tim
depend taps for CBS believe.
Great job.
John C Dvorak: Unbelievable
distortion of the reality. What
fake news by the way, I want to
also mention this, we're not
going to talk about it too much.
But I will mention to pence
stupidity. If Pence was smart,
he just said, Well, I'm just
going to endorse whoever gets
nominated. But he came up
because he was he was discussing
right to life. And he's a pro
lifer. And he thinks Trump is is
on the fence about it, and so
he's not going to endorse,
that's the reason.
Adam Curry: Also, I've seen,
that's another algo that I
missed, but yeah, the it's all
deceptive. Um, so I'm going to
play as if 53 seconds of the
original bloodbath, quote, I'm
gonna play that little edit by
CBS again, for a minute here,
just a short piece of it,
Unknown: he addressed the crowd
speculating what would happen if
he loses the upcoming
presidential election.
Now, if I don't get elected,
it's gonna be a bloodbath for
the whole, that's going to be
the least of it, it's going to
be a bloodbath for the country,
that'll be the least of it.
Today's appearance comes just
one, maybe
Adam Curry: there was something
before that maybe there was
something right after it. Let's
go to the video today.
Unknown: China now is building a
couple of massive plans, where
they're going to build the cars
in Mexico, and think they think
that they're going to sell those
cars into the United States with
no tax at the border. Let me
tell you something to China. If
you're listening President Xi,
and you and I are friends, but
he understands the way I deal,
those big monster car
manufacturing plants that you're
building in Mexico right now.
And you think you're going to
get that you're going to not
hire Americans and you're going
to sell the cars to us. No,
we're going to put a 100% tariff
on every single car that comes
across the line, and you're not
going to be able to sell those
guys, if I get elected. Now, if
I don't get elected, it's gonna
be a bloodbath for the whole,
that's gonna be the least of it.
It's going to be a bloodbath for
the country, that'll be the
least of it. But they're not
going to sell those cars have
building massive factories, a
friend of mine,
Adam Curry: so they took out
right before I mean, even that's
the very line after he says that
he goes back to the cars.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so he's
talking about car manufacturing.
And by the way, I don't know
what they can do about this is
they can talk a big game, but we
got that treaty with Canada and
Mexico. And the Chinese saw they
saw a an exploit. And so the BYD
is the company building a mash a
giga plant down in Mexico to
build electric cars,
specifically, because of Biden's
mandates. They figure they can
build electric cars in Mexico
cheaply, and then just run right
into the country with terror
free because that's what the
that is a workaround is a
beauty. I thought that it's
genius, to be honest about it.
And of course, he doesn't
mention that in this speech. But
this bloodbath taken out of
context, her death for the
industry is not a bloodbath in
terms of a civil war. That's
what they tried to make it out
to be. This is disgusting. I
couldn't
Adam Curry: clip it because I
was in the car on the way back
from church. Nancy Pelosi was on
MSNBC and she a CNN and she was
quoting it. Trump said this is
going to be a bloodbath if he
doesn't get elected. Nancy
Pelosi was quoting it already
this morning.
John C Dvorak: This is
disgusting. Yes,
Adam Curry: I think you've made
your feelings very clear. Of
course, it's Wait a minute,
you're surprised there's
gambling they're pulling out all
the stops. So I don't for a
second believe that Bobby big
Bitcoin Bobby, the OP RFK Jr.
That he really wants Aaron
Rodgers to be his vice
presidential candidate. Do you
know well, they're pulling that
one out morning, Joe time.
Robert
Unknown: F. Chang here.
Yesterday, was asked about
Rogers. His beliefs about Sandy
Hook. And all Kennedy had to say
was that he praised Rogers as a
quote, critical thinker, didn't
denounce his comments didn't
distance himself from Rogers
denounced said the two men talk
frequently believe Rogers did
put out a statement later in
which he tried to clean it up.
But it was pretty vague in its
wording. It wasn't a full
throated denial. And we should
note this is not Rogers's only
conspiracy theory that he
endorses. He also has questioned
September elevens, believing
it's an inside job that's
according to some of his four
packers teammates who have told
reporters the writers were
talking in the locker room about
things like this. We know his
stance on vaccines. That's what
brought him and Kennedy together
in the first place. And now
rotters at least being floated
as a potential VP candidate,
despite the fact that we think
he's going to play quarterback
for the Jets this weekend, if
you can this fall, if you can
recover from his injury, but
Adam Curry: a hoax Oh, he's Oh
no, he hasn't denounced his
horrible Sandy Hook of anti
Vaxxer throw it all in there
anything. The
John C Dvorak: thing that's
interesting is that if you go to
Fox they dug up
Adam Curry: a Joe Rogan
interview probably no,
John C Dvorak: no they dug up a
local report from the in the
Sandy Hook area. And it was
Rogers heaping you know, he was
just very sympathetic and he
felt it was terrible that this
happened. It went on and on and
on. He was he never did the
Sandy Hook was the Sandy Hook
hoax. The Sandy hooks hook never
it was never on his mind. They
made that up. The media is
losing it. They can't keep
making this stuff up and think
they can get away with it except
for the dumb shits who watched
the view and watch morning, Joe.
Well,
Adam Curry: they're the number
one problem for President Biden
and his reelection campaign is
of course the genocide Jo
moniker. So they they really
went all out on this and we
identified it Thursday, we had
the clip of Senator Chuck
Schumer, the top the top Jew in
Congress going out there and
saying BBs gotta resign BBC. Oh,
no, good. So this is full force
all the Sunday shows everybody's
not that just going after him
who the things that Chuck
Unknown: Schumer emphasizing.
He's the highest ranking Jewish
elected official in the United
States, levied a blistering
attack on every was responsible
for the war in Gaza. To blame
only Israel for the deaths of
Palestinians is unfair, one
sided and often deliberately
manipulative. And it ignores
Hamas his role in this conflict,
the Senate Majority Leader
blaming the terror group, as
well as Israel as far right as
some of the obstacles for a US
backed two state solution and
taking aim at Palestinian
leaders. Quite
frankly, I haven't heard enough
Palestinian leaders Express
anguish about Hamas and other
extreme elements of Palestinian
society. I implore them to speak
up now, even when it may be
hardest that
includes Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas clinging
to Office for nearly 20 years.
Polling shows 90% of
Palestinians want the 88 year
old to step down. But Schumer's
most eye raising comments were
to Israel's Prime Minister,
Prime
Minister Netanyahu has lost his
way he's lost to willing to
tolerate the civilian toll in
Gaza, which is pushing support
for Israel worldwide to historic
lows. Israel cannot survive. If
it becomes a pariah. Yes.
The embattled prime minister is
vowing to push away
international pressures and
carry on the offensive in Gaza
were airstrikes continued
overnight during the first week
of Ramadan.
Adam Curry: So this is very
confusing, because we all know
that Jews control all of
Congress. So which Jews are
that? It's not? It's not that I
thought he was the Zionist. Wow.
So it's some Jews controlling
the Jews to stop the Jews. I
have no idea what's going on.
But they're bringing out all the
globalists. Even on poor Dahlia,
it's
Unknown: very easy for Netanyahu
to hide behind the I have the
support or my policies have the
support of the Israeli public in
terms of your research. Do you
sense that there's a change
there that the support for the
war itself is waning at all?
Adam Curry: Oh, it's waning,
everybody?
Unknown: Well, that's what I was
getting at before. I don't think
you can talk about a decline in
support for the war itself. But
there is a decline in confidence
that the war aims can be
achieved because frankly, they
haven't been achieved. And of
course, you know, the most
unifying aim of the war is the
release of the hostages. And
that's already not going to
happen. The tragic reality is
that many of the hostages have
already died in captivity. The
Army has already assessed that
around died, many assess that
they are probably more than 30
Out of the 134. So remaining,
who are probably no longer
alive. And every you know, at
every phase of the of the
indirect negotiations to try to
release the hostages and reach a
ceasefire to in return for a
ceasefire there. The hopes of
the families are raised and then
dashed and this is a torturous
process.
Adam Curry: They're dead, Jim,
they're all dead. Bibi given up
another potential
Unknown: crisis that is looming
for Netanyahu and definitely had
when he's facing as a
controversy over drafting of the
Orthodox in Israel, for they've
been exempt from conscription.
That may be changing. And of
course, this really would impact
his coalition. How do you see
that playing out?
First of all, I wouldn't hold
your breath for a mass draft of
the ultra orthodox and I should
distinguish that this is a
matter of drafting the ultra
orthodox which is different from
the Orthodox of these are
distinct communities. The
Orthodox community is
essentially integrated
integrated into Israeli life.
It's the isolationist ultra
orthodox communities enjoyed a
historic exemption by Ah,
John C Dvorak: Brooklyn nourish
those guys from Universal
Unknown: Jewish citizens going
back to the beginning of
statehood and since the
beginning of statehood the
government has been unable to
resolve this largely because
many I would say most
coalition's and
Adam Curry: it's the tunnel Jews
John they're behind it all
they're doing it it history of
Unknown: Israel depend on the
parties representing those ultra
orthodox communities and if they
force a lot, you know, some sort
of change in the policy that
would involve widespread draft
of the ultra orthodox, those
small parties who leave the
coalition and topple the
government.
Adam Curry: Alright, so I'm just
gotta topple the government, you
know, everything's, it's a big
mess. So, Danna bash, that who
was completely read in Danna
bash, who was married to a CIA
guy. So she Yeah, she's just
they bring out Danna bash on
CNN, Danna bash. She gets the
exclusive with Bibi Netanyahu
this morning. And M she just
goes full bore she's
interrupting him. Excuse me, Mr.
Prime Minister. That's not true.
It's wrong. Nobody likes you.
It's horrible. There's, there's
protests in the street. I pulled
two clips. Here. This is
basically what what most of the
interview was. But
Unknown: I just want to make
sure that our viewers understand
that Chuck Schumer gave the big
speech, but he has support. In
many ways from the President of
the United States, President
Biden is a self described
Zionist. So confused, even he is
starting to distance himself
from the way you are handling
the war. He called what Schumer
said a good speech. He said that
he shared the concern of many
Americans, they aren't
criticizing Israel. They're
criticizing you, you and your
right wing, coalition, right
wing past you. There's
a fallacy that has been
perpetrated here. Oh, and you
should take polls, you'll have
your own polls, and check
whether the people of Israel
support the policies that I'm
being criticized for. That is
supporting the policies of going
into Rafah destroying the
quarter of the remaining Hamas
terrorist army. That's like
leaving a quarter of the hammer
of the Nazi terrorist army in
Germany and saying, No, we're
not going to finish the last
quarter. And we're not going
into Berlin, most Israelis
overwhelmingly support the
position that we have to go in.
They oppose the idea of ramming
down a two state solution or a
terrorist state against their
will because they think that
this is will endanger Israel's
future.
Adam Curry: Now. Danna wasn't
having any of it. Her job was to
show him the money, let him know
he's on notice. How do we do
that? The same way we always do
it. Well, it's
Unknown: not just me, I think
people of Israel who believe
that we have to have this
resolute
being criticized. It's the way
that you're prosecuting the war.
So I'm going to get to that in
one minute. But I just want to
add a little bit of sort of
context to the way that the
Biden administration is pushing
back another way is that the US
Intelligence Committee warned
that quote, distrust of
Netanyahu is the ability to rule
Adam Curry: as he pulls out the
Intel community's BB just so you
know, the intel community is not
on your side, my brother
Unknown: at the US intelligence
community warned that quote,
distrust Netanyahu, his ability
to rule has deepened and
broadened across the public and
then back to the polls. You're
talking about support for the
idea of toppling Hamas? That
makes perfect sense. There were
other polls in Israel three
major Israeli television
stations that said what Israelis
also support our early
elections.
Adam Curry: Oh, and he goes he's
like, Oh, no, channel 12 said
it, you know, it's I'm sure it's
all spook outlets. So yeah, now
it's possible that the call went
out had BB play along with us,
okay, they gotta get rid of this
genocide Joe thing. I gotta get
rid of this. Because it doesn't
seem like he's going to do
anything but continue on the
mission. I mean, he's just he
just being very thick headed
about it.
John C Dvorak: It's possible
you're right, that they that he
has been read in on them being
read in Yeah, because what we're
witnessing here with these clips
is just a performance could
totally be a performance. I
mean, I think the genocide Joe
thing is a it's the proper and
indecisive Biden and he does he
has to deal with it. That's the
problem.
Adam Curry: Turkish radio and
television piled on real hard.
This was good. Because they
brought in a new player who we
had not heard of before. Zakah
and a new term to take children
and chopping off the heads. His
head was chopped off. Can baby's
hands off.
Unknown: Lies, graphic
fabrications. Think gory
disinformation to manipulate
public opinion. That is how
atrocity propaganda functions.
Fully Colossus surprise cross
border attack on October 7,
Israel use this strategy to turn
the tide in its favor with the
help of a group influenced by
Zionist ideologies Zionist
stalker
is interesting because it's find
yourself involved in all sorts
of allegations of essentially
making up atrocity propaganda
sort of stories about the 40
beheaded babies the mass rape,
the cutting of features from his
mother's belly. All of these
things seem to have been
fabricated by
founded in the early 90s by
Yehuda Mish, she's the hub Lukka
has the stated objective of
integrating Israel's ultra
orthodox community are they
headed in food typically reject
Israeli state policies on
religious grounds into the
framework of Zionism, dubbing
itself as a search and rescue
organization. The community
group consists largely of ultra
religious amateur volunteers who
see themselves as performing the
sacred work of saving lives and
honoring the dead in accordance
with Jewish law.
Adam Curry: I love atrocity
propaganda. I mean, I love the
concept. I love the term,
John C Dvorak: babies great
term. It's
Adam Curry: a show and Xhaka Z
aka the Sokka Zakah group,
John C Dvorak: some that we've
not heard ever ultra
Adam Curry: orthodox. So somehow
the work guys the Brooklyn dudes
are getting in trouble for all
of this somehow. It's a mess,
but they need to do it because
all they have literally all they
have is is Harris. The so called
black woman going to Planned
Parenthood
Unknown: and in the Democratic
campaign, Vice President Kamala
Harris visited an abortion
clinic in Minnesota yesterday,
something no vice president or
president has ever done while it
is we should Jiang reports, the
Biden Harris campaign is using
the potential threat of losing
abortion access to drive voters
to the polls come November. We
are facing a very serious health
crisis.
Vice President Kamala Harris
visited the Planned
Adam Curry: Parenthood clinic
and we need to kill more babies.
Otherwise we'll have a health
crisis. Paul,
Unknown: Minnesota Thursday, the
sixth date on her tour focusing
on fighting for reproductive
freedoms. Seamus have proposed
and passed
Adam Curry: a stop for a second.
I mean, do as you wish ladies,
but to call it reproductive
freedom is is a bit much. Let's
just take it a bit far. Paul,
Unknown: Minnesota Thursday. The
sixth date on her tour focusing
on fighting for reproductive
freedoms
extremist have proposed and
passed laws extremists that have
denied women access to
reproductive health care
Adam Curry: and health care.
John C Dvorak: I think they
should pick up the idea of that
using this reproduction
liberation.
Unknown: Nice nine neighboring
states like North Dakota and
South Dakota, along with several
others enacted full abortion
bans. The clinic has seen a 25%
surge in abortion cases and a
100% increase in patients from
out of state it is
dangerous and it is putting my
patients and healthcare
providers at severe risk.
Starting with its first joint
rally back in January extremists
are trying to pass a national
abortion. The Biden Harris
campaign has put reproductive
rights front and center of the
presidential election. 57% of
Americans and 62% of women say
the overturning of Roe v. Wade
nearly two years ago was mostly
bad for the country. Donald
Trump has touted his role in
reversal establishing the
Supreme Court responsible but
if it weren't for me with Roe v.
Wade, you wouldn't even be
talking about this but
says he's undecided on a 15 week
national abortion ban that some
Republicans support
you have to win elections.
Otherwise, you're going to be
back where you were. So
John C Dvorak: that's, that's
why Pence said endorsing right
yeah, that's yeah, that's the
reason why but that's not the
way they're playing it.
Adam Curry: No, of course not
because he tried to kill Pence
tried to hang him. Don't you
know that? Shoot him on the spot
to do a neck shot. Kristen,
Kristen Welker and Your Miche
I'll see. I'll sindoor backed up
their black female colleague,
although she's kind of Indian,
but let's just say she's a black
woman vice president
Unknown: Harris today became the
first vice president in US
history to publicly visit a
clinic that provides abortion
services. That trip to Minnesota
Planned Parenthood comes as the
Biden campaign has learned more
leaned more and more into the
abortion issue in the 2024 race.
Harris spoke from The clinic
this afternoon, take a listen.
I'm here at this health care
clinic, to uplift the work that
is happening in Minnesota
example of what true leadership
looks like. Which is to
understand it is only right and
fair,
fair, that people have access to
the health care they need, and
that they have access to health
care in an environment where
they are treated with dignity.
She
had fiery words, fire makers who
are trying to free access to
abortion. She said that it's
outrageous and immoral to have
any sort of restrictions on
abortion. She said that it's
putting women's lives at risk
and that a number of women have
had scary and at times almost
life threatening situations
because they were denied access
to abortion care. She also
underscored that Planned
Parenthood clinics do more than
just provide abortions. He said
that they also provide breast
cancer screenings. They also
treat fibroid tumors. So she was
really trying to underscore that
Planned Parenthood they
Adam Curry: give you puberty
blockers is a is
Unknown: a key health care
provider in community. She also
said that she wanted to go to
Minnesota in particular because
the states around Minnesota have
been restricting abortion access
but that state in Minnesota
their governor has actually been
expanding abortion access.
John C Dvorak: My goodness. And
you know, when Hold on a second,
let's just do some logic here.
Yeah. Based on those scripts,
when do these health care
operations, let's put it
providers let's call them
operations, health care, you
know, mega corporations, like
the ones that took over their
goal to health care in the San
Francisco Bay area of solder.
And one other operation. When do
they When do they say oh, no,
we're getting too much business.
There's too much profit to be
made here. Oh, this is terrible.
When does that ever what has
that ever happened?
Unknown: Never. Never, never.
John C Dvorak: But yet, that's
the clip they kind of say, well,
you we got doubled our business
we that's just gonna I don't
know it's chihuahuas was to say,
okay, so yeah, it's bad. Yeah.
Bull crap.
Adam Curry: And of course,
neither of us are women. So we
can only speak so far on the
topic, but we can
John C Dvorak: we can speak
about healthcare. Yah. Yah. Yah.
Yah. Yah, yah.
Adam Curry: Oh my goodness. It's
crazy. It's just crazy.
Everyone's out there spun out on
this one. So, I mean, that's all
they've got. They don't they
don't have much they've got
John C Dvorak: that's all
they've gotten. If they've got
common language, you can
leverage that.
Adam Curry: I don't think very I
don't think they can do along
with it. It's just not there. So
yeah, so I I don't know. I don't
know where they're gonna go. But
they're trying to I mean, this
bloodbath thing. This will be a
very fine people thing. They're
going to this will be played
John C Dvorak: worse, I think is
worse. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. It's so
clippable it's beautiful. It's
this. This is one of the best
they could ever have. And, yeah,
okay, well, he's
John C Dvorak: very clickable.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: I mean, you heard it
the CBS literally chopped it off
and I'm the axis
John C Dvorak: done grip so I
can see you know, there are a
bunch of amateurs they stink.
You know who was like CBS doing
it on purpose is really
pathetic. I didn't clip
Adam Curry: it because it was
just too long and annoying. And
it was chunk. So chunk did in
from the Young Turks did an
emergency broadcast. And he
said, Now, you know, he said, I
gotta give this one to Trump
because he wasn't talking about
a civil war bloodbath, chump
came out and said it. I was kind
of impressed by that.
John C Dvorak: I'm not
Adam Curry: know, why not?
John C Dvorak: Because, you
know, it's what you're supposed
to do.
Adam Curry: Right. But But
normally, you'd think he would
go off the rails about something
like that, but he didn't.
John C Dvorak: So yeah, he goes
off the rails on other stuff.
But he does. He does. I do have
a little aside here. Okay. You
know, we bring up the Red Book a
lot. Yes, we do. And I ran into
a clip of a clip within a clip
within a clip. I think this will
be a I got it down as a jingle
and, and I'm proposing using it
as our red book jingle. The
cover
Adam Curry: of it was red. They
called it the Red Book. Okay, we
do have a red book special
coming up. Yes, we do. them. Oh,
yes. Right. We do. Because for
for 24 Is your daughter's
wedding day. Yeah. And you have
asked to take that show off. We
did have to have a meeting about
it. We had a meeting. We had a
meeting and it went like this It
John C Dvorak: went like this.
Hey, Adam, I gotta take the day
off because of my I was wedding.
I got to be at the wedding. And
he goes, nuts. I was gonna take
off a day and
Adam Curry: that's exactly
exactly what I said. I want to
point out, you know, I had asked
you like, you want me to come
out for the wedding you said now
just send a gift. Stay home. And
then yes, that's all to all. And
then I would never
John C Dvorak: do what you want.
Adam Curry: I mean, I know your
boss. Oh, you said that don't
come out here. It's a pain in
the ass. Do what you
John C Dvorak: want is I'm
agreeing with that part of it.
And then so
Adam Curry: ever since Jay asked
me you guys come on I said, we
really can't make it. She's not
she's not friendly to me
anymore. You know normally be
like, have a great Sunday. Have
a great day. Now there's
nobody's that good. I sent the
email. Now she's mad at me. I
feel like she's mad. We're so
we're sending a dynamite gift.
If that helped, ah, if that
helps. I'm like, oh, man, your
dad told me not to come if it
was my fault I
John C Dvorak: didn't I didn't
demand you not come I just said
you as if it was. I just said it
was at the level of world
importance. Oh, yeah, it was I
thought
Adam Curry: what to show day you
know like we got to man the
boats. But now now now you're
taking the now you're taking it
off. Now. I feel super bad
John C Dvorak: about it. But you
didn't come out now.
Adam Curry: Let's not get too
excited about stuff here.
John C Dvorak: Wasn't as though
you were like oh no, I really
want to come get changed topics
and come to the local stuff and
do a three by three about the
Trump prosecutor that Fannie
Willis fiasco. Yeah, sure.
Adam Curry: It's done both three
by three. Let's do it. Everybody
gets debridement but JC Boyd we
love this fairings don't refurb
a
three by three. John take the
big news headlines of the day
because we're Oh boy. We're all
excited about finally Fannie
Fini, Fini, Barney, fee fi fo
finally Willis. So let's see how
the big three networks news
stories their flagships how they
handle it, and if they get it
all from the same source as
usual.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they get it
all from the same source as
usual story of ABC
Unknown: tonight a judge in
Georgia giving Fulton County
District Attorney funny witness
a stark choice. She can keep
leading the election
interference case against Donald
Trump only if her top prosecutor
and former romantic partners
steps down. Trump and several of
his co defendants fought to
remove Willis, arguing she
financially benefited by hiring
Nathan Wade. But today judge
Scott McAfee ruling the
defendants failed to meet their
burden of proving that the
district attorney acquired an
actual conflict of interest. The
judge adding Georgia law does
not permit the finding of an
actual conflict for simply
making bad choices even
repeatedly. It's a win for the
DA at a humiliating cost. Okay,
the judge admonishing her for a
tremendous lapse in judgment and
criticizing her testimony as
unprofessional
if you're confused, you think
I'm on trial. These people are
on trial for trying to steal an
election in 2020. I'm not on
trial, no matter how hard you
try to put me on trial.
He also rebuked Willis for a
speech she gave in church
suggesting wait only came under
attack because he's black. Three
Special Counsel. This is my
right to do. Take them all the
same hourly rate.
Judge McAfee said it was legally
improper for Willis to cast
racial aspersions. He also
questioned her credibility on
the witness stand and Wade's to
writing an odor of mendacity
remains. Ultimately he
determined the one time romance
created a significant appearance
of impropriety. So if Willis was
to stay on the case, her ex
boyfriend must go. And hours
later, Nathan Wade was gone,
submitting his resignation,
saying he was doing it in the
interest of democracy in
dedication to the American
public and to move this case
forward as quickly as possible.
Adam Curry: Man what a dynamite
show already we have atrocity
propaganda, reproductive
liberation and odor of man desk
mendacity. I mean, this is this
John C Dvorak: is good
mendacity. He's another show
title,
Adam Curry: this beautiful now,
I talked I'm doing a show on
Wednesday with Moe. But he said
this, he said this black woman
was so out of option she had to
take it to the church and that
and she completely he said that
pastor was probably sitting
there going, oh, man, really? I
gotta do this. I gotta let her
do this. So she's phony, these
phony fake and she's FET
felonious. Now there's another
migrate phony, fake and
felonious. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: But they call her
phony Willis. All right, let's
go to they also, by the way,
there's a story that came out
this morning that the judge may
put a gag order on her after
that church performance because
Adam Curry: rightly so it was it
was disgusting.
Unknown: Let's go to NBC. He was
front and center when funny
Willis announced her criminal
indictment of Donald Trump. But
tonight Nathan Wade, the man
leading the prosecution against
the former president for
allegedly trying to overturn
Georgia's 2020 election results
has resigned the culmination of
a month long spectacle after one
of Trump's co defendants Michael
Ruhlman exposed a romantic
relationship between Wade and
Fulton County DA Fani. Willis,
who hired weighed on the case in
a ruling today just got McAfee
said while he did not find an
actual conflict of interest in
the case, he did find a
significant appearance of
impropriety that infects the
current structure of the
prosecution team and Dave Willis
and ultimatum either she and her
office leave the case or Wade.
In a letter Wade writes today
he's resigning to move this case
forward as quickly as possible
for Willis. Today's ruling is a
legal victory but a professional
blow following this stunning two
hour testimony. Judge Scott
McAfee scolding what he called
her unprofessional manner on the
stand again, while not
dismissing the case outright as
the defense had asked McAfee
takes Willis to task over quote,
this tremendous lapse in
judgment. What
Adam Curry: I found interesting
is that the judge, I mean, I
didn't hear but I guess he gave
her an app, there was a choice.
Either you resign or Wade
resigns, and I think she just, I
mean, she really signed your
death warrant by not resigning.
Because this he had been he
added all this extra stuff, all
these extra hearings, which of
course is great for the media.
They'll just keep going on and
on and on until this woman will
be beaten down. She's not gonna
make you're not gonna make it
through this. And
John C Dvorak: she definitely
doesn't have the wherewithal but
she might do better. I have seen
another clip of after this one
that might indicate she can do
better than you think.
Unknown: CBS Fulton County Judge
Scott McAfee gave District
Attorney Fani Willis an
ultimatum today either step
aside from the 2020 elections
version case or Heather former
romantic partner, special
prosecutor Nathan Wade withdraw
within hours wait tendered his
resignation effective
immediately to move this case
forward. The former president
hailed the move on truth social
calling weighed a disgrace. The
judge's ruling found Trump and
the CO defendants that filed the
complaint against Willison
weight failed to prove a
conflict of interest. There was
no evidence according to McAfee
that will is financially
benefited from her roughly a
year long relationship with
weight, which included trips to
the Caribbean and California.
But the ruling did note a
significant appearance of
impropriety. McAfee was sharply
critical of Willis's behavior,
citing a lapse in judgment and
calling her conduct during a
hearing last month,
unprofessional. Don't be cute
with me and then think that
you're not going to get an
answer.
From time to time you see judges
wax a bit poetic in their
opinions. He could have just
said I think there's a lot of
lying going on here. But instead
he described it in more colorful
terms and
he invokes southern playwright
Tennessee Williams by writing
and odor of mendacity remains.
Adam Curry: Oh, is that a
Tennessee Williams line?
According
John C Dvorak: to them?
Interesting. I think it was from
one of his plays. So there's
this So Steve, who got me these
clips from the tinfoil hat of
the Jones collective. You have
the Jones collected the tinfoil
hat clip for him and would Brad
Binkley. These are interesting.
This is a clip about Fannie
Willis's background.
Unknown: And they were very,
very close. She she met she
lives with her he talked about
that in an interview I saw. I
mean, you look at this one here.
So he was arrested. They're
talking about an arrest that him
and his group, the FBI raided
number something they had a 27
page booklet called a high tide
of black resistance. And the
opening paragraph of that book
says this. The year 1967 marked
a historic milestone in the
struggle and the and that year,
that revolutionaries throughout
the world began to understand
more fully the impact of the
black movement, our liberation
will only come when, when there
is final destruction of this mad
octopus, the the capitalistic
system of the United States with
all of its life sucking
tentacles of exploitation or
racism that shows the people of
Africa, Asia and Latin America.
This is Fanny Willis, the woman
in charge of the Fulton County
District Attorney's office, his
father, you read this book
called The organizational
weapon, the Bolshevik strategy,
and they have the communist
attempts for power when they're
outside of they don't have
institutional power. They do
shit like like he did. But then
you have when they're in power,
which they shed their communist
colors and they co opt
organizations and they filled
them with their own people to
take over. So Fanny, in my
opinion, is doing what her
father did and this 60s except
with the power of the judicial
system in Fulton County.
Adam Curry: Wow. So first of
all, I have to say you cannot be
responsible for the sins of your
father, but she might have been
trained. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: definitely. He
was a member of the students,
Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee, which in that during
that era was called snick. And
it was the one that may Stokely
Carmichael super famous to the
point where the FBI was looking
at him. He felt he was there's
going to be an assassination
attempt on his life. And he
moved to Africa changed his name
to Kwame something or other and
he's never returned. Wow. Well,
that is a very charismatic
character, Stokely Carmichael.
You can people. This is
Adam Curry: the this is the
tinfoil hat podcast that we're
listening to here.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's what
it's
Adam Curry: 757. I want to give
Wheeling of props here because
it's good. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's so he goes
on his part to the fan. He was
but but this guy Floyd was Fanny
Willis's dad, who was a member
of snick, I guess he was
originally a Black Panther. And
he gave up on them and snick
became a big deal. And he was in
the Atlanta area. So this is a
this is a local group. From
here, they know what they're
talking about. It's not a
carpetbagger, by any means. She,
she's a local communist.
Basically, it's play part two.
So she
Unknown: talks about the cash
that she used to pay she always,
always keep tacking 50,000 cash.
Adam Curry: That to me was like
that. I mean, have you ever had
$15,000 in cash in your house
ever in your life?
Unknown: That's pretty high.
Yeah, because my daddy taught me
to do that. Well, the reason her
dad was always keeping cash on
this because it was the FBI at
the time, because he was one of
the leaders of the Black
Panthers. And then they changed
the name of his group because it
got into a conflict. It was like
the, the non vacuum or the exact
name of it, but it's it's
basically the Black Panthers
with a different name that he
led. And he ran out, ran around
with Angela Davis, the communist
all the time. And he so he
appears he was teaching his
daughter to have untraceable
money is what he's doing and
nobody brings that up. Like,
that's as a boy, I'd be like, so
you're saying that your dad
taught you to keep your money
untraceable because he needed to
be untraceable when he was
running from the FBI.
Unbelievable. To nobody brings
that up. And so
Adam Curry: is that the
sidekick? Unbelievable.
Unknown: Unbelievable dude, when
he was running from the FBI,
believable to nobody brings that
up. And so her dad is mentioned,
I'll just show you this because
it's, let's see nice things that
kind of makes it real. Like this
is a congressional hearing from
1969. About riots and some other
shit that they mentioned her dad
over and like dozens of times,
and this year talks about a bank
account for the SNCC, which is
that offset group of the Black
Panthers that was opened in
February 1968. And it was opened
under the names of John Floyd
which is Fannie wells, his dad
and Angela why Davis is the
famous communist who was the
first woman on the FBI is most a
wanderlust.
Adam Curry: I just want to say,
this is what we have the best
producers for the best podcasts
and university. What I like
about the Jones brothers
Collective is that lots of
people send me rumble videos
like hey, look at this five
hours is great, explains
everything. But yes, but you
know, to pull out two clips,
that's very helpful, at least
give me time codes or something.
That's really helpful because
yeah, this is what you want from
a local podcast. Man. I'm glad
somebody invented that of local
podcast. That gives you some
local flavor. That really puts
everything into a different
light. That's that's very
interesting. I like it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I had no
idea that she was No, I mean,
the media covers this up. What
of course, rhyming is it with
today's clips? The ones about
with Trump saying bloodbath.
Yeah. It's It's enough to make
your blood pressure go up,
because it's so disturbing. It's
so manipulative, and they think
they can get away with it.
Adam Curry: Well, can I can I do
my little presentation about
tick tock then talking about
manipulative media? I'm,
John C Dvorak: I can Yes, I've
done this. Okay. So Fannie
Willis is a communist. That's
all I wanted to get out of the
way. There you go.
Adam Curry: There you go. Just a
little update on the TIC tock
crack mouth
Unknown: today on Capitol Hill
tick tock CEO held private
meetings and made a public place
but I haven't heard
exactly what we've done in this
country, is going to impact 170
million Americans.
He's personally attempting to
stop a possible ban after the
House passed a bill on Wednesday
that would mandate tick tock
separate from its Chinese parent
company. It wouldn't have to
sell to a US buyer to avoid a
ban. Today former Treasury
Secretary and the Trump
administration, Stephen Minuchin
says he wants to buy it,
I understand that technology,
it's a great business and I'm
gonna put together a group to
buy Tiktok you're trying to buy
tickets I am because it should
be owned by a US, US businesses.
But that may
not even be possible. Let's say
all of these things come
together at a sale is poised.
The Chinese government could
very well stop it. It's unclear
if the algorithm is something
that could even be exported to
another country. Okay.
Adam Curry: So that's, that's
kind that's kind of just a
little background on where we
are with the mainstream media.
Unbelievably, The New York Times
published New York Times
publishes an article that says,
you know, this is bullcrap.
They're not really collecting
any data, like oh, you have my
attention. Now, just to
reiterate, the OG theory on this
is this is Google. He was co
introduced by Gallagher
Republican from I want to say
Kentucky camera where he's from.
And one of his biggest donors is
Google. The Google has a lot
they have share price problems.
They there they failed with AI
launch. And Tik Tok is eating
their video advertising lunch,
there's just no two ways about
it. You know, everyone's trying
to emulate it. Obviously, Mehta
is doing okay with the Facebook
product and Instagram and they
have some reels, which is
basically repurpose Tik Tok
videos. But Tik Tok is the
crack, that everybody loves it,
you just boom, boom, boom, boom,
boom, you're just scrolling
through it. And mainly the
sophisticated algo is just what
are you like, I'm gonna give you
more of that. I'm not gonna
throw any interruptive stuff in
there that there's no comp that
this comments, but no one cares
about comments. We're just there
to look at the stuff that we
want over and over again, and
Google can't stand it.
John C Dvorak: I have to mention
this. Just as an aside, it's
interesting to me how Instagram
has, Twitter is comments.
Everything else is secondary.
And then you go to Instagram,
and it's mostly photos and maybe
an introductory paragraph
because the comments are minor,
but there and it's tricky. It's
just tricks and people respond
to the comments. Tik Tok is
common. I mean, there's tons of
comments, but I don't I never
look at him to it's almost like
it's they've taken the model and
they just moved it to like, just
give you instead of cocaine
crack.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Or, or, as Dan
Crenshaw know, Mike Pence called
it digital fentanyl, my parents
digital fentanyl. Okay. So we're
just gonna sit killed. We're
just gonna stick with that, that
this is Silicon Valley, mainly
Google trying to get rid of one
of their main competitors. And
they saddled up these you know,
these dudes, by the way, it
doesn't really look like there's
that much going to happen. Have
a note here from one of our
producers, whose company just
might happen to be building a
data center for some, some
outfit called tick tock or byte
dance as hundreds of millions of
dollars involved. And work has
not stopped. So it certainly is
not. Doesn't look like tick tock
is too worried about stuff
because the deal is signed. And
they continue to do that. And
just as a quick aside from
another producer, who said last
in this discussion of the so
called tick tock ban, how about
other technologies that are
owned by Chinese firms, the
educational technology apps,
Class Dojo, a very popular one
where my child's school forces
us to use that recently
completed a series D funding
round which is led by Tencent.
This is a lot of this a lot of
stuff that is influential on our
children that is owned by
Chinese companies. But now this
is just we don't care about
that. There's no advertising
money there is anyway to the New
York Times has this article by
Julia Angwin. And Julie Angwin.
She is the founder CEO and
editor in chief of homeless
second it's called Proof news
proof news proof news. And she
is a New York Times contributing
opinion writer and so she
founded this outfit proof knows
proof news which is a nonprofit
but if you look at proof News,
I'm looking here now they have
two articles. Literally two
articles. They said they've just
been started just been spun up
the both articles from February
27 2020 Before interestingly,
not the article about tick tock
now she wrote that for the New
York Times, and I'm going to
submit to you that tick tock is
very busy, they have put a lot
of money into lobbyists. We know
they have this, there's no doubt
they're fighting back. And they
have hired this Julia Angwin
lady, and I dug down into it. So
this proof news is actually a
project of aspiration. But
aspiration tech.org, which is
pretty much a services firm,
that will help you with your
nonprofit, you'll we can help
you with all kinds of training,
we can do it now, it seems like
this is one of these outfits
that you can hire to go do
stuff. So somehow this lady gets
into the New York Times, and
then on the media decides to
interview her. And I think that
we can hear throughout these few
clips. But this is not news.
This is not analysis. This is
tiktoks Money, downplaying
everything that has been said
about them and fighting back
against the Google lobby
Unknown: Writing in The New York
Times this week, tech journalist
Julia Angwin, founder of the new
outlet proof news, argued this
legislation wouldn't really
address concerns around
misinformation, national
security or data privacy. And in
fact, she doesn't find claims
about tic TOCs unique power as a
propaganda tool, all that
convincing,
the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence put out a
threat assessment report in
February, and said that tick
tock accounts run by a Chinese
propaganda arm, were targeting
candidates from both political
parties during the US midterm
election cycle and 2022. Now,
that sounds a little bit scary,
but the reality is that anyone
can set up an account on Tiktok,
to, quote, target a candidate.
This is exactly what the
Russians did in 2016, when they
set up accounts on Facebook to
try to influence the US
elections. And they didn't have
to buy Facebook to do that.
Right? They actually paid in
rubles Facebook didn't notice.
And it's also worth noting that
that threat assessment from the
National Intelligence Director
does not say that tiktoks
algorithm promoted those
accounts, I'm guessing that if
they had evidence of that, they
would have stayed at it. So I
think the thing that we
basically can learn from this is
that whatever evidence they
have, they're not sharing it or
they don't have it
Adam Curry: go there's no
evidence. So she comes out of
the gate with there's no
evidence now nice. You'll start
to hear some laugh tells here
and there. And by the way, I'm
I'm not disagreeing with what
she says I don't think that tick
tock The Tick Tock app spies any
more than any other of these of
these social media, as well,
thank you say
Unknown: more about the data
privacy concern, what are they
collecting? How could it be
misused? Has it already been
misused, tick,
tock, as far as most people can
tell, collects pretty much the
same types of data that every
other app on your phone
collects, which is, where you
are, what kind of device you're
accessing it from, how often
you're using it for how long
you're on. And then while you're
in the app, what kind of content
you're looking at, there have
been data abuses at all of these
companies, both Microsoft and
Google have been found to
promote their own products over
those of their competitors.
Employees had gotten
Adam Curry: out. She now she she
highlights Microsoft and Google.
The interesting that she
highlights Microsoft, maybe it's
a Microsoft and Google lobby
that are going after tick tock.
But then you She ends this this
sentence with a really odd opt
talk.
Unknown: People have been found
to promote their own products
over those of their competitors.
And please help me good gone in
looked at personal data and
tried to figure out things about
their ex girlfriends or
whatever. As we all know, from
looking at the privacy policies.
Basically, all of them say we
can do whatever we want with
your data. So we don't really
know what is going to happen
with our user data. You've
pointed
out that even if tick tock is
sharing data from American users
with the Chinese government,
which the company says it's not,
the data might not be as
consequential as its critics
fear.
What's interesting about tick
tock because they don't actually
have as much as maybe a Facebook
or Google because they don't
actually have a lot of personal
information on your friends.
Like usually people don't upload
their address book. It really is
about what video we watched how
long you watch it for.
Adam Curry: Okay, so she has
she's very read in on what tick
tock is doing and now now she's
gonna joke about how ridiculous
it all really is, which again,
I'm not disagreeing with but
this is very off color for a New
York Times article.
Unknown: Well, what does tick
tock know about you? Well,
tick tock knows, unfortunately,
that I watch Too many cooking
videos and too many makeup
tutorials Unfortunately,
Adam Curry: yes, she's he's
personalizing This is she's
definitely all tick tock knows I
watch too many cooking videos
and makeup tips.
John C Dvorak: She's the one who
just she admitted it in, in
public. So why is it unfortunate
that Tiktok knows.
Adam Curry: John, she's she's a
PR agent.
John C Dvorak: She's had some
some she's, yeah, PR
Unknown: too many cooking videos
and too many makeup tutorials,
they're going to take you down.
It's possible that this is one
reason I'm not that worried. I'm
just like, You know what, or
maybe because I'm getting paid.
Good luck. I don't know what
you're gonna do with this
information about my love of
cheesecakes. And
as you've pointed out, even if
Tik Tok, let's say just vanished
from the app stores overnight
China or anyone for that matter,
could buy oodles of pretty
granular personal data that are
routinely hoovered up by
American tech companies, and
then sold into the Data Broker
marketplace.
You can buy all sorts of things,
there was a really shocking
story about a Muslim prayer app.
Just turns out the Defense
Department was buying the data
from that app in order to track
the location of Muslims in the
United States. So we have
definitely seen governments not
just China using these data
brokers to get information that
they would otherwise have a hard
time getting ahold of. I mean,
Adam Curry: she's really laying
out there's not a single thing
tick tock is doing nothing wrong
here. Nothing. There's nothing
wrong than not doing a single
thing wrong. In fact, other
companies are much worse.
They're responsible for death.
Can
Unknown: you give us a laundry
list of some of the abhorrent
practices from social media
companies just to help us
understand who tiktoks peers
are? Yeah,
I'll start with genocide, was
accused of enabling a genocide
in Myanmar where the government
essentially blanketed Facebook
with lies about a minority
population and incited violence
against them. We've seen
Facebook enabling just hate
speech. I wrote a story years
ago about how Facebook had a
category that advertisers could
choose from called Jew haters,
where you could just literally
target your ad to people who
hate Jews. Anyone who opens up a
website formerly known as
Twitter. Now X can see all sorts
of examples of misinformation
and disinformation sometimes
being promoted by the owner of
the site. So you know, it goes
on and on. It's a cesspool is
what I'm saying.
Adam Curry: Okay, lady, you are
not a journalist. You are full
of crap. You're being paid by
the lobby for pro Tik Tok, and
she brings it home here in this
final clip, you may have heard
that Tiktok sent out emails to
all their users, and depending
on your geographic location,
they gave you the phone number
of your representative in
Congress to go call and complain
about a you're trying to take
down my Tiktok man, that's no
good. And here is where she it
all falls apart lifestyles, and
then she predicts that something
will happen
Unknown: in your near Times
piece. You cited polling that
shows that only 31% of Americans
favor a nationwide ban on Tik
Tok. So, if most Americans
aren't behind it, why are
lawmakers?
I mean, unfortunately, the gap
between where Americans are and
where lawmakers are, is wide on
a lot of issues. It's 72% of
Americans want more government
regulation of what companies can
do with their data that hasn't
spurred Congress to act. There's
wide popular support for gun
control, abortion access, etc,
that remain unaddressed. At the
federal level, government
policies in the US are
increasingly not reflective of
public opinion. Unfortunately, I
think one thing that's happening
right now is that people were
not kind of aware of this was
coming. And so it passed really
quickly and constituents didn't
have a chance to mobilize. But
people are aware and are
mobilizing and so I think the
Senate offices are gonna get
flooded with a lot of really
angry people because the reality
is it's a real marketplace of
small businesses. And so I think
it'll be interesting to see if
the Senate passes it because I
think it actually could be
politically unwise in an
election year to piss off this
many constituents.
Adam Curry: Literally the
talking points of the CEO node
enables small business I think
people might get angry and flood
the offices get your company
probably you know, this
aspiration probably sent out the
emails This is that the New York
Times and NPR is on the media
got hoodwinked by this is
unbelievable, or did they
John C Dvorak: hear all part of
it? You know, I'm looking at
this woman's background for one
thing, she looks like a desk
jockey spook?
Adam Curry: Yes, of course. I've
seen it. Nice hair.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. She has
that cool. Quality of and she's
been all over the place she's
and she's one of one of those
group Pulitzers which are
popular nowadays. You're part of
a team, you win a Pulitzer.
She's got a bunch of other
interesting Awards. She went
from the Wall Street Journal, to
pro publica. She joined up some
new operation called the markup,
which I don't know what the hell
happened to that. And then she
goes on and on. But her wiki
page is one of those kinds of
what I call a spooky page,
because it's missing the kind of
fundamentals that should be
there. We know that she has,
she's married with a child and
the screwy thing and they put
this in when you put something
weird in like does, I'm gonna
read something off this wiki
page, which is screwy. It's a
family Angwin lives in New York
City with her husband and two
children. And listen to this.
Why would you put this in there?
And why would you notice and why
would this happen? Her daughter
started a cryptography business
as a middle school student
called Diceware passwords,
focused on selling secure hand
written passwords. Wow.
Adam Curry: That's just weird.
That's just weird.
John C Dvorak: So I mean,
there's code in
Adam Curry: here on her own on
her own website. I'm just
reading now listen to this. From
2000 to 2013, she was a reporter
at The Wall Street Journal,
where she lived a she led a
privacy investigative team that
was a finalist finalist for a
Pulitzer Prize in explanatory
reporting. And she won a Garo, a
Gerald lube award, Globe blue
globe, tomato tomahto, she was
on a team of reporters, the Wall
Street Journal that was awarded
the Pulitzer Prize and
explanatory reporting for
coverage of corporate
corruption. Ah, author of The
New York Times best seller
dragnet nation a quest for
privacy, security and freedom in
a world of relentless
surveillance, except for tick
tock. She didn't she I mean,
she. Anyway,
John C Dvorak: she also was in
1996, you worked for the
Chronicle as a tech reporter.
And since I was in that scene,
in 96, it was four years before
they collapsed. You never heard
of her
Adam Curry: during the scene,
man. Something's
John C Dvorak: up. Yes.
Adam Curry: Oh, goodness. All
right. I'd like to move over to
the Boeing versus Airbus war.
That continues or it may it may
just be I
John C Dvorak: actually made
clips. I have some clips. I did
do latest Of course. Was it
yesterday? Maybe four? I
Adam Curry: haven't. I haven't
the pet.
John C Dvorak: Mimi says
something to me about this. Oh,
poor Boeing. I said, Your Debt
Debt jet. I'm gonna just preface
what you're gonna do. That jet
the other day that depends. Some
piece of metal fell off the
bottom of it. It was yeah, it
was an old 21 An old Boeing 737.
But again, the same other name
that nobody wants to address is
united, united, United united.
That guy, the company that's run
by a drag queen.
Adam Curry: Dude in the dress.
Good morning, Adam. I'd like to
offer you a boots on the ground
report for the most recent
Boeing mishap that occurred on
United Airlines flight 433. I'm
a licensed Aircraft Maintenance
Engineer specializing in
composites from Scandinavia.
I've been in this industry for
10 years I've worked on hundreds
of seven three sevens we had the
best producers in the universe.
Needless to say I'm extremely
familiar with this aircraft.
I've report repaired the exact
panel that had a quote exciting
end dozens of times. And this
happens naturally in other
aircraft as well. The fairing
that seemingly exploded mid
flight is one of many 737 wing
fuselage panels that suffer from
elongated holes due to excessive
vibration, the steel countersunk
screws or fashion to the far
softer fiberglass emanate, which
in time will vote laminate which
in time will vibrate and expand
the holes to point with the
panel will simply not be
attached anymore. Once the whole
elongation starts. The screws
which are fastened to the
floating nut plates will start
to erode the original hole
diameter. From what I can gather
from the photo in the article
with a Zero Hedge an excessive
amount of the fasteners were
simply installed, but not
holding the panel in place. At a
certain point during the flight
the airflow would have lifted an
edge and the panel would have
become a shredded massive
fiberglass and Nomex Honeycomb
core. I could go on further
about this particular accident
but it simply comes down to piss
poor maintenance by United.
Anyone with a set of eyes can
see a long gated holes on
panels. The visual cues are
impossible to miss. Usually
black streaks from the fastener
holes follow the airstream hope
this brings you some insight.
Yes. Shawn the candidate avian
Thank you very much for your
boots on the ground. This is
exactly right. It was hard
actually found one report did
mention United it's
Unknown: another episode in the
series of Boeing 737 mishaps,
United flight 433, which was
carrying 139 passengers and six
crew members safely flew from
San Francisco to Oregon Friday.
But after landing, an external
panel on the plane was found
missing during a routine
inspection before the next
flight, prompting an
investigation by the Federal
Aviation Administration. The
Missing panel was located on the
aircraft's underside where the
wing meets the fuselage and
right next to the landing gear.
The runway and airfield were
checked for debris but none was
found. According to the FAA,
this plane is part of the series
preceding the max and just 25
years old. The inspection
follows another Boeing incident
earlier this week, poor plane
flying from Sydney to Auckland
made a mid air dive injuring 50
people. Boeing has faced
increasing pressure over quality
control in its production
process. After a door plug blew
off a 737 Max nine jet back in
January. The FAA conducted 89
audits of Boeing's manufacturing
procedure over six weeks to find
Boeing failing 33 of them with
reports of 97 instances of non
compliance with the approved
manufacturing procedures. Boeing
responded to the audit promising
changes and said it would work
with employees who violated the
company's production rules to
make sure they understand
instructions clearly.
Adam Curry: So again, it's it's
just targeting Boeing but this
was as you just heard from
someone who was boots on the
ground who does this for a
living this was crappy
maintenance united with the with
the the the CEO dude and address
CEO. But I mean, this is a bad
look, my brother, this is not
the way you want to go. This dei
is coming down on you is going
to come down on you hard, but
something with Boeing. I mean,
there's all I don't even know if
this story is true now about the
seatback that
Unknown: terrifying midair
plunge aboard a South American
airliner on Sunday that injured
dozens of passengers and crew
members. Tom Costello is where
this time this may have been a
mishap in the cockpit. Yeah,
that's one theory. Tonight
Boeing is telling airlines to
fly the 787 to check the
switches that control the pilots
seats because they could get
stuck. The Wall Street Journal
reports investigators believe a
flight attendant delivering a
meal to the pilot may have
accidentally hit a switch that
moves the pilot seat forward
that could have pushed the pilot
into his controls forcing the
nose of a plane down and Sunday
passengers flying more than 50
injured sold with broken bones.
In a statement Boeing says we
are recommending operators
airlines perform an inspection
at the next maintenance
opportunity. This could
contradict what one passenger
told us that the pilot
complained his flight computer
screens when suddenly dark.
Importantly, investigators have
not reached a final conclusion
about what caused this plane to
do a nosedive over the ocean
luster.
Adam Curry: Alright, so the here
so this is very interesting,
there's a toggle switch on the
back of the boat seat so the
captain seat and it's underneath
a lid a little latch to keep it
safe. And this is what you use
when you're entering as a pilot
into the into the pilot seat.
You can have the chair come back
swivels out a little bit you get
in and then you can move it you
have the same controls on the
side like like your car seat, it
doesn't move very fast. You know
because I've looked at all the
videos and the theory this
theory would be there in flight
there you know their cruise
altitude, they've got the
autopilot on the flight
attendant comes in hands the
trays puts her hand on the back
of the pilot's seat, he has the
tray now in front of him and the
toggle switch gets activated
through the latch which it is
not supposed to do that the
whole point of that latch is so
it can happen automatically and
it slowly moves forward pushing
the yoke forward at a certain
point and this is I questioned
this because at a certain point
the autopilot will disengage and
whatever attitude you have the
you're telling the plane to have
it will assume so that would be
yoke push forward that would
cause a an instant nosedive. But
I mean the tray didn't didn't
buckle up. The trade didn't slip
out. I mean for this. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: no. Yeah, no.
It's sounds like let's what can
we do? Let's because the other
idea is a little more
frightening.
Adam Curry: And I learned that
Airbus now also got
John C Dvorak: that letter Yeah,
Airbus have to reset all the
Adam Curry: time. You have to
reboot the plane every 100 This
John C Dvorak: is none This is a
crap software.
Adam Curry: Can you imagine that
that you had to reboot your Mac
wait to meet you. Do I'm sorry,
John C Dvorak: time.
Adam Curry: Now, what so we've
got, we've got Boeing under
severe stress with good reason.
And I have two clips here. The
first one, thank you producers,
you are the best. This is a
local report from Charleston,
South Carolina. And who and this
woman who is on this on this
news report, she knows the
whistleblower. This is the
whistleblower who did get
killed. Very stupid. You should
never eat lunch in your truck,
in a hotel parking lot. That is
a quick way to the grave. And by
there's a Netflix special on
this guy. I mean, he he seems
very together. This is not just
some, some dude who is, you
know, mentally unstable. He blew
the whistle on Boeing. Boeing
went after him. He said, Okay,
come on. I'll do it. I'll fight
you. And here's a local report
from some people who know, Rob
Barrett,
Unknown: Barnett's family friend
Jennifer said they had talked
about this exact scenario
playing out. But his words seem
like a premonition. He told her
Don't ever believe it.
I knew John because his mom and
my mom are best friends. And so
over the years, get togethers,
birthdays, celebrations and
whatnot. We've all got together
and talked. And that's how we
really know each other. And
when Jennifer needed help one
day Barnett came by to see her.
They talked about his upcoming
depositions in Charleston,
Jennifer new, he filed an
extremely damaging complaint
against Boeing. He says the
aerospace giant retaliated
against him when he blew the
whistle on unsafe practices. For
more than 30 years. Barnett was
a quality manager. He'd recently
retired and moved back to look
after his mom and Louisiana,
wasn't concerned
about safety, because I asked
him I said, Aren't you scared?
And he said, his boy through the
way he was scared. He said, But
if anything happens to me, it's
not suicide. You know, I know
that he did not commit suicide.
There's no way. A love life too
much. He loves his family too
much. He loves his brothers too
much. To put them through what
they're going through right now.
And he basically told you not to
believe it.
Basically, yeah, not true. He's
got too much to do, like
breathing. And he did. He had a
lot of plans as things that he
wanted
to do. What do you think
happened?
I think somebody got in there
and made, you know, money can
buy anything nowadays. It seems
like there's a lot of evil in
this world. I think. Somebody
didn't like what he had to say
he wanted to shut him up and
didn't want it to come back on.
Anyone. So that's why they made
it look like a suicide.
Adam Curry: Amen, sister. So by
the way, if I'm going to commit
suicide, I'm not going to I'm
not suicidal. But I do it in the
hotel room. Now. Why do I wait,
do you get in the truck? Oh, now
I'm depressed.
John C Dvorak: No, makes no, it
makes zero sense. It's very
poorly executed now.
Adam Curry: Thank you producers
a cheap
John C Dvorak: assassin.
Adam Curry: Well, that kind of
lines up with this next clip.
This is from a podcast. This is
the quite frankly podcast. And
that and just due to Frank, I
think his name's Frank. And he
has maybe not, but it's a quite
frankly podcast. And it's on
rumble. So not really a podcast,
but okay, it's a Rumble. Rumble.
Oh, there you go. It's a rumble
cast. And he has his guests on
from time to time named rich.
Baris. Rich is a pollster. And
really good. GOP Republican pro
Trump guy, very knowledgeable.
And he he knows this guy from
back in the day when he was, I
guess, also working in that
business. And he's very
surprised to hear that this guy
is quote unquote, committed
suicide. And then he rolls out
an extra little bit, which I
think we just need to take it
into account.
Unknown: Boeing is an extremely
powerful company. There is no
doubt that they lied and for
almost nearly 400 souls are dead
because they lied and because
they cut corners and because
they tried to hide it. If it
wasn't for Donald Trump, more
people would be dead and he
doesn't talk about this enough
but FAA and everybody was like,
but they wholeheartedly believe
Boeing. When that second plane
went down Trump he became the
just so people know how a
historic Mrs. Trump became the
first president ever in history
to grow around an aircraft by
President presidential order,
without by the way, the
recommendation of the FAA he did
not the FAA was still in cover
mode and kiss ass mode. Frank,
one, he signed that order and
said the 737 is grounded. He did
it by presidential order. The
first crash understandable, but
once that second one came along,
the President was like, No,
something's wrong here. It's
grounded. And he did. And this
is like one of the many things
that happened during the Trump
administration, that you just
never hear about that. It's just
really incredible, bold action
from the former president. No
president has the balls to do
that and won't be serious right
now. Boeing is powerful. They
had a lot of friends, including
in his own administration. He
let Nikki Haley go because her
family was basically broke. And
he let her go to go get a job on
the board of Boeing that she had
lined up in order to you know,
in that's why, by the way, you
know that it's more than just
one promise, you hear oh, well,
Nikki Haley said she would never
run against a former President
if he ran again. I mean, this
was something that they actually
had talked about Frank when he
let her go. And he said, Fine, I
understand you need to go to the
private sector, and then do some
stuff. But I got your word that
you're not going to come back as
a ballbuster. You know, and so
she not only broke her vow to
the party, not you know, to, you
know, that loyalty pledge. I
mean, this was a personal, you
know, my word is my bond kind of
situation, I have to resign, my
family needs more money, I'm
gonna go do this, which he
really didn't like. But she had
already had those connections to
Boeing from when she was
governor of South Carolina, she
literally entice them to move
the construction of that
aircraft over to Charleston. And
Adam Curry: that's when all the
shows. And that's when all the
cost cutting started is when
Nikki Haley begged them to come
move their operation to South
Carolina. So there's a stinky
element of Nikki Haley in this
too.
John C Dvorak: Wow. Hi, you
know, that clip? I have to give
you a clip of the day for
digging that one. Well,
Adam Curry: it wasn't me it was
our producer. So if you've been
to that clip, whoever. Yeah.
Yeah, I was
John C Dvorak: a good, good
catch. Whoever found that, that
is fascinating. And it also adds
to the intrigue of Trump and all
these people that he trusts and
hires, you know, I would say
like, you know, it's like one
backstabber after another no
matter who it is. What is the
deal?
Adam Curry: Yeah. I know. Yeah,
the the, I guess is what they
call the swamp. Is that what
they call? Ah, is fascinating,
facile.
John C Dvorak: I do have the
clip of the you played earlier,
I have the PBS version of the
report on the Boeing united.
Look at that panel. Yes. All
Unknown: right. Here we go.
There's been another incident
involving a Boeing jetliner, an
older United Airlines 737 landed
safely in Oregon on Friday,
minus a large external panel
along the plane's belly. There
were no indications of trouble
during the flight. And the
missing panel was only
discovered during a post flight
inspection. Both united and the
FAA are investigating
John C Dvorak: simple Yeah,
yeah. Yeah. Just click it leaves
with Boeing. Yeah,
Adam Curry: of course. It's all
Boeing well Boeing's in trouble
and and where they should be and
rightly so. You
John C Dvorak: know, especially
having assassinated the
whistleblower. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: mean, he must have
had some info they really didn't
want to come out. They mean the
NA could have gotten really
sticky. If you bring in the and
how about Lindy Hop Greta grey
ham. You might have had
something to do with this too.
Isn't it was New South Carolina.
Yeah, who knows? Who knows this
whole thing
John C Dvorak: is fishy. Yeah,
Adam Curry: they kill people and
that they don't care. Do not
care about you, me. That guy
John. Sorry about him.
John C Dvorak: says we're
talking about airline safety. I
have a clip of helicopter safety
I want to play because I want to
remind people that we have
basically the same analysis
years earlier in fact right on
the spot I just when I heard
this as well that might as well
be Adam up there because this is
exactly what you said about the
Kobe Bryant helicopter crash
late last
Unknown: month the head of a
Nigerian bank, his wife, son and
three others were killed when
the helicopter taking them to
Las Vegas, crashed in
California's Mojave Desert. Also
lately Last month, the Army
National Guard temporarily
halted all its helicopter
operations after fatal crashes
in Utah and Mississippi, and
that followed the Army's
temporary grounding late last
year of its Osprey aircraft
which can function as a
helicopter. These incidents and
recent high profile accidents
like the one that killed
basketball star Kobe Bryant and
his daughter in 2020, and 2019
tour helicopter crash in Hawaii
that killed seven raised
questions in people's minds
about the safety of helicopters.
John golias, a former member of
the National Transportation
Safety Board, and former chair
of the National Coalition for
aviation education. John we may
be seeing a lot more helicopters
as air taxis are being developed
as soon as next year. Quite
simply, our helicopter safe
helicopters
in the vehicle itself is very
safe. What we're seeing today is
a lot of issues with we have
pilot issues, and maybe not not
monitoring their operations well
enough. You know, you mentioned
two accidents in Nigeria and
fella who died in Kobe Bryant
both of those were helicopter
pilots that disregard weather
cues and allow them to
accomplish the mission. And that
self imposed pressure that they
have on themselves to get the
mission done. Oftentimes, it's
the driver behind the event that
leads to a crash.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you bring
this up. Because I have an
update on the Nigerian
helicopter crash first of all,
what happened what's happening
here in bad weather in a
helicopter in an airplane, but a
helicopter usually you're flying
visually that's I mean, there
are helicopters that are fully
IFR autopilot you know you can
you can you can fly it in any
kind of weather, but most
helicopter pilots fly visually
and in the Kobe Bryant case well
we know that this by the way it
was a an accomplished pilot but
he should have never taken the
Eden should have never taken
off. You know, as VIP customers
he had that you know, there's
that urge that's the most
dangerous thing in in commercial
charter operation is you got a
high profile client the client
wants to take off wants to do it
I gotta get get to a game we got
to go We're late. And he ran
into bad weather and within 20
seconds if you're not prepared,
and if you're not, I've had it
happen to myself. But I but I, I
knew to trust my instruments, I
immediately went straight to
instruments and didn't turn
upside down because that's what
will happen in an airplane or in
a helicopter. If you don't know
what you're doing you the minute
you get a white out you get
vertigo, you feel you think
you're you're tilting to the
left but you're really tilted
you don't know what's going on
and within 20 seconds you can be
upside down and it's all over in
this case with that then
initially they said it was an
easy 120 which was wrong as the
ECA Eurocopter 130 So at first I
thought they were just
overweight, they had six people
in an aircraft that can only
have five turns because I read
the NTSB report. And what
happened was bad weather high
profile client, the pilot is
going lower and lower because of
snow developing snow. And he is
the number one cause of
helicopter accidents is Bill
Graham would tell you if he was
here he is wires. That's the
number one cause and they ran
into a wire. They hit a power
line. And that's what took them
down. And you know, he just he I
mean you can see on your
altimeter how far you are from
the ground but in bad weather
you can't see the wires. Boom
right to the wire that took them
down. Yes. Bad day, as we say in
aviation a real day wrecker.
Show we
John C Dvorak: I've always
enjoyed helicopters.
Adam Curry: You know, I wasn't
John C Dvorak: emotionally
taking a trip on a helicopter in
Hawaii was a Vietnam War guy.
And so we're in flight over one
of the volcanoes. And in the
chopper industry as a family.
I'm sitting there on the front
and it got a couple of families,
three people in the back. And
the guy says the pilot says, you
know, he's my last flight for
the day. You want to do a back
turn.
Adam Curry: If a pilot ever says
watch this. That's that's about
five seconds before you're gonna
die. Well,
John C Dvorak: this guy, he
seemed pretty competent to me.
So he says you want to do a bat
turn and I know what that was.
And it's called the wing. I
said, Yeah. And the people in
the back they looked at each
other. I watched it and they
looked at each other like I
don't know what the hell he's
talking about. Sure. Okay. So
this guy does. He does a couple
a we just go sideways. And he
makes us you know, turn around
thing. It's very noisy, say the
least. And we're gonna sideways
as he's going into a circle, bat
turn. And the people behind me
were terrified own white
terrified, of course, you know,
I was terrified it was it was. I
don't know I felt it was. Yeah,
well, it would have been, it's
Adam Curry: always easier if
you're in front and you can see
everything. I mean, the back
gets a little a little crazier.
I guess that's usually ever and
when those people got real
quiet, that's when you want to
hand the bags back because
someone's going to puke and you
don't want to puke in your neck.
It
John C Dvorak: didn't feel good.
Adam Curry: I love helicopter
flying, I will not fly a
helicopter that I don't know
who's has their hands on it. If
I don't know who's maintaining
it, I'm not interested. That
that's my number one rule. So I
have not flown helicopter in a
long time.
John C Dvorak: But nowhere this
report that I played from PBS,
the guy goes on and on. And he
says he said the difference is
the problem with a helicopter
pilot is they have to be they
have to be they can't relax.
They have to be concentrating
all the time as opposed to a
fixed wing pilot. We can Yeah,
you know,
Adam Curry: all four limbs are
engaged. Your legs and arms are
continuously working. It's
almost like only fans only in
the air. Time for little update
and improve our preparedness for
potential cyber pandemic. Yeah,
cyber pandemic. We finally are
getting to some details here.
And CNBC Squawk Box, they bring
on the one and only Scott
Gottlieb to talk about latest
Unknown: Welcome back.
Everybody. United Health says
that it is aiming to bring
systems back online by today
after a massive healthcare hack
described healthcare serious on
the US healthcare system to
date. That disruption is in its
fourth week, it brought payments
and other systems offline and is
estimated to be costing
healthcare providers as much as
a billion dollars a day. For
more on this we want to bring in
former FDA commissioner Dr.
Scott Gottlieb. He is a member a
board member of Illumina and
Pfizer also a CNBC contributor.
And Dr. Gottlieb, I don't think
we've done enough to explain
this situation and describe to
people what's really happening,
we have to clip this.
John C Dvorak: What is Scott
Gottlieb know about brands, some
were software, technology,
computers or anything else.
Adam Curry: He doesn't, but he
does know a lot about how all
these different entities are
tied together, not just business
wise, which is important, but
also computer wise, you know,
this is what we wanted. We want
the electronic health record.
Everything should be digital,
put it all together. This is a
real nightmare is a contributor.
Unknown: And Dr. Gottlieb, I
don't think we've done enough to
explain this situation and
describe to people what's really
happening. This is kind of
catastrophic. What, what what
happened,
Adam Curry: kinda, yeah, it's
Unknown: very pervasive across
the entire healthcare system.
This is one of the largest
facilitators of health claims
and medical claims in the
country, they handle about 15
billion claims a year totaling
around $1.5 trillion. So
basically a third of the entire
healthcare system, we have a
$4.5 trillion health care
system. And what this system
does is, it handles claims not
just for UnitedHealthcare, but
for other insurers as well. So
doctors will subscribe to this
system, they'll contract with
it. And it will tell them
whether or not patients are
eligible to receive a
prescription or whether they're
eligible against their insurance
plan to receive a certain
procedure, what the cost will
be, what the provider will be
paid what the copay to the
patient will be. A patient comes
into a provider right now it
goes to a pharmacy and this
systems down. They don't know
whether or not their claims
going to get covered. The
provider doesn't know whether or
not they're going to get paid.
The patient doesn't know what
the out of pocket costs are
going to be. So these are being
adjudicated by hand. In many
cases, some insurers have
stepped in and said, Look, if
you make a good faith effort,
we'll backstop the providers
United has done that,
particularly on the claim side
for prescription drugs, but
other insurers haven't. And so
you have the system right now,
in many cases in limbo. Some
elective procedures are getting
pushed off. Others just aren't
getting done. But providers
don't know when they'll get paid
and they're out of pocket for
the revenue right now. We've
Adam Curry: got a lot of boots
on the ground dudes named Ben
weighing in on the backup
situation, the backup to the
backup to the backup, and what
is was happening and of course,
this is I would say 99% This is
all Microsoft stuff that these
these exploits, they're in the
system, they're in there for
months. And you know, they, they
literally jump across different
systems. Once they get admin
control. Then they'll you know,
they'll they'll go in they'll go
into another node the the other
company's system because They're
all connected. And then
ultimately, when when the when
the when the ransomware locks
everything up, you know, that
stuff could be in there four or
five months ago. So they have to
figure out how far back do they
go to restore from backup before
the exploits. So it's not quite
as simple as we would like it to
be. But I think that's, you
know, that's why I'm I'm not
arguing with Klaus Schwab that,
you know, Microsoft is, is a is
a plague. It's a It's one big
attack vector, all of it. You
know, the internet is basically
one big attack vector. There's
more here. From Gottlieb,
Unknown: we think of this as
being such a wide system
healthcare system. But the idea
that there's a point of
redundancy that affects a third
of all of that, was this a
surprise to you?
Yeah, it was. And I think that
we need to look outside the
industries we've traditionally
looked at, like financial
services, or transportation or
infrastructure, where there's
these single points of failure.
There's other medical processing
companies like waystar, that
also process a lot of claims.
And I think we never thought
about these sort of single
points of failure, these single
nodes in industries that were
perceived as fragmented. So it
was hard to take down you, you
perceive the medical industry as
a fragmented industry as lots of
providers, lots of hospitals.
And you never really thought
about this single connected
system. What happened here, this
is a worm like virus, it has
movement within the system. So
it didn't just infect this
change healthcare system inside
United central servers. But it
actually branched out into all
the nodes that were connected to
that. So literally, every health
system that's connected to this
change health care system now
needs to be checked to see
whether or not this wormlike
feature had lateral movement
into those systems. That's why
it's so hard to get this turned
back on because they need to
check every node that's
connected into the change
healthcare infrastructure for
Well, this is the same virus
that was or a same group that
was believed to be behind the
Colonial Pipeline ransomware
attack in 2021, and also the
ransomware attack against MGM
and Caesars in 2023 So it's a
known unknown group, a known
feature if you will, a known
attack just hasn't affected
something like this in the
healthcare industry before he's
Adam Curry: no dude named Ben
That's for sure. It's a feature
John C Dvorak: he's he just
something there that should be
noted, which is that they've
been reluctant these guys to go
into the some crucial
subsections of the economy like
health care, because they you
know, it's it's going to get
people angry. It's because
you're going to healthcare and
it's and healthcare is
interconnected as she's because
the issues we're witnessing,
they're terrible, because of all
this computerization, reliance
on computerization, like you
just expressed earlier,
Adam Curry: the doctor's office,
you know, that's where it can
start at some local, local.
John C Dvorak: And so you end up
with him saying, No, we're not
going to do that. And then for
such something changed. With
these guys said no screw we're
going after anything we can we
can get money out of. And yeah,
we have to accept that. That
would be maybe what Schwab was
indicating. Because, hey, you
know what, let's who can we
blame it on our game? fair game,
Adam Curry: last clip? I
Unknown: mean, if it's if
they're able to identify a
weakness in the system that you
as the former head of the FDA
didn't even recognize or see. I
mean, that's suggests an awful
high level of sophistication.
No, is there the idea that this
will be potential nation state,
targeting rush, rush rapture,
China? Well, the group that's
responsible for this isn't
believed to be a national actor.
This is a known ransomware. Gang
row. I think we need to look, I
think sis and other groups that
look for the soft targets inside
the US economy need to now look
differently through a different
lens to see whether or not
there's other very fragmented
industry that you never thought
had a single point of failure
that has a soft target like
this. CMS was also slow to
recognize this. I believe they
didn't put out their first
statement till March 5. So we
were alerted to this on February
28. The attack happened on the
21st. We were first alerted from
a statement that the American
Hospital Association put out I
believe, on 28th. CMS, the
Centers for Medicare Medicaid
Services didn't put out a
statement till March 5. So the
government here looked like it
was slow to act as well. I don't
think early on, there was a
recognition of how pervasive
this would be and what the
impact would be across the
healthcare landscape. We started
to hear it I started to hear
anecdotally, from providers who
are hooked into this system, the
impact it was having on their
offices. And he started to see
things appear online from
providers complaining about
this, but I think that there was
a we were slow to recognize or
the government was slow to
recognize what kind of impact
this would have if it was
protracted and it should have
been recognized that this was
going to be protracted right
from the outset.
Adam Curry: No blame. I thought
that was very interesting. No
blame. It's just a gang, some
rando gang. Now you think that's
bad the cyber pandemics about to
get really bad
Unknown: one of the stories
we're following for you this
morning many McDonald's
restaurants around the world are
experiencing some sort of
technology outage some
restaurants overseas have had to
close we have not have any local
McDonald's being affected at
this time McDonald's saying they
are aware of the problem and it
will be resolved they are
apologizing for the
inconvenience and they say this
is not related to any
cybersecurity event
Adam Curry: I'll take it take
your word.
John C Dvorak: I don't know the
no reliance on this technology
at this level for everything
under the sun. It's you know
it's biting you back in the ass
what what should happen
Adam Curry: oh yeah. Oh no, this
this is so predictable. I mean
talk to any dude named Ben or do
debt name Bernadette. Microsoft
is just one big attack vector
it's a mess It's a mess
John C Dvorak: the it's below is
always meant to be it started
off as a company building
operating systems for desk top
computers that were not net
worth is set to maybe if you had
net buoy net buoy
Adam Curry: weren't network
that's that stuff never worked I
got to reboot the net boo
John C Dvorak: boo I thought
worked quite well. I didn't like
it I remember like but anyway it
you know, the idea was a bring
out a new version of the
operating system when a new
style of hard disk or a new
interface came out and they had
to be adapted. And you know
we're now we got everything
interconnected in a worldwide
basis thanks to the internet and
it's ridiculous situation.
Adam Curry: Net buoy met boy.
Okay, now just sticking with
sticking with pharma for a
moment. Kind of kind of pharma
crisis. I didn't realize but the
this show The Last of Us, which
I think is on a max. This is a
big hit. Have you seen this
show?
John C Dvorak: I have tried to
watch it. I don't like it.
Adam Curry: I have never watched
it. I somehow I thought it was
something completely different.
I must have been confused what
was what was that show with? Was
a Ted Danson who was it? Like,
you know, like the guy. There
was they were it was the God
show. I can't remember what it
was was had a good
John C Dvorak: place. Yeah,
somehow.
Adam Curry: I had that in my
mind. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: never got that. I
that.
Adam Curry: I mean, that's
that's what I had my my I don't
know why The Last of Us. So if I
understand this is I get it.
Science fiction disaster, where
there's some fungus and people
get this fungus and they turn
into zombies. Is that your
understanding of the plot of The
Last of Us?
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
it's about. It's just a piece of
crap. As far as I can tell, it's
hard to watch.
Adam Curry: So we love looking
at things that are predictive
programming. And this one is a
doozy. I think this is ABC, two
clips here. They play a piece of
this of this disaster, zombie
popular show. And then they come
in
John C Dvorak: and they bring me
turn post apocalyptic. They turn
Adam Curry: into the they bring
it to the doctor.
Unknown: Oh my. So those guys
purely science fiction, but this
show The Last of Us based on the
premise that a fungal infection,
turn people into more or less
zombies. Now a lot of people
talking about these types of
infections and what the real
ones Yeah, okay, we're gonna
talk
about the actual science of all
of this with ABC News, medical
unit coordinating producer Sony
Saltzman but Sony, thanks so
much for being here. I have to
say I don't love the idea of
talking about any kind of fungal
only thing, but what
legitimately is at stake here?
Are these things real?
Yeah. Thank you so much for
having me. I mean, I will say
part of our reporting was really
inspired by The Last of Us,
which as you pointed out, is
science fiction. But here's what
is real and estimated 1.7
million people are dying of
fungal infections, and that is
more than tuberculosis or
malaria. So the World Health
Organization put out a warning
actually at around the same time
as the show. And what they are
warning is that this is the
priority pathogen, we really
need to be paying attention to
this. So what are fungal
infections and who is at risk.
I'm not talking about Athlete's
Foot, although that is also a
fungal infection. I'm talking
about fungal infections that get
into your lungs, and in some
cases make their way to your
brain. So those are the deadly
ones that we're talking about.
And mostly people who are at
risk right now are people with
underlying conditions, immune
compromised, but increasingly
healthy people are getting sick.
And in the course of our
reporting, I interviewed a mom
of two who, you know, was
bedridden for months and I also
interviewed a man who had
unfortunately, a fungal
infection that traveled to his
brain, he had to have a port
drilled into his skull, and he
has to have medication delivered
that way for the rest of his
life. All right, so
Adam Curry: So, so I'm like,
okay, so we have the predictive
program, we've got the show,
it's a big hit. Now we're
saying, by the way, this, you
know, this is pretty real, you
know, could enter into your
lungs good into into your brain,
which of course, that's how you
turn people into a zombie. But
don't worry, if we drill a hole
in your head, that'd be okay. So
I'm expecting a vaccine or
something, or I'm anything but
what came next. And so
Unknown: these are serious. And
I think that is something the
World Health Organization and
the CDC are trying to raise
awareness. So after the show
came out, I, you know, Googled,
can this actually happen? And I
read something about a climate
change factor, I mean, just
added to the growing list, of
course, climate climate change
can cause what is the the
warming impact of this? Yeah,
I'm glad you brought up climate
change, because it is a really
important piece of the puzzle
here. So, you know, according to
the CDC climate plays in in
several ways, one is that we're
using more and more antifungals
for example, for me using them
on crops, right. Another is that
the world so our bodies, if you
think about this right now,
there are about 90.6 degrees,
right, roughly speaking, that's
pretty warm. Actually, it's
pretty hot. And historically,
that has not been a very
hospitable environment for a
fungus to thrive. But if the
planet keeps warming, and fungi
evolve, to survive, in
increasingly hot temperatures,
they will according to the CDC,
thrive in our hot bodies. Wow.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: baby. It's thriving
in your hot body.
John C Dvorak: Your body
temperature has gone down almost
a degree. That's right. That's
right. So how's that? How's our
hot body that you know, no,
Adam Curry: no spin body? Oh,
that's gone down to to
accommodate the fungal dude, I'm
telling you. I said dude,
because we are all upset about
the trans gender stuff and
rainbow and woke and political
correctness. But these crazy
people they are sneaking up on
us with the climate change. And
we got to tell you, they're
gonna
John C Dvorak: this is a plenty
people should note this
particular presentation from
going from the kind of the last
of a screwball TV show to
climate change via fungal
infections. It's just
unbelievable. Yeah, well, the
clip blitz if you want to do
something different
Adam Curry: Oh my goodness. Wow,
hold on a second. You can't do a
clip blitz without the jingle. I
mean, you caught me off guard on
a second. Let's see.
Unknown: Read through the three
red 33 complaints complaints
caplets
John C Dvorak: everybody love
it. All right, right one is it
the one I got a couple of them I
gotta
Adam Curry: clipless All right,
what do we have? Let's go to
Dollar Tree Dollar Tree. It is
Dollar
Unknown: Tree plans to close
around $1,000 tree and family
dollar stores around the
country. After the discount
chain reported an unexpected
fourth quarter loss and its
earnings report today. About 600
stores will be closed in the
first half of this year. The
rest will come over the next
several years. Dollar Tree
acquired Family Dollar in 2015
for more than $8 billion and has
more than 16,700 stores around
the country.
John C Dvorak: All right. About
Musk showers on lemon for CNN
Unknown: host Don Lemon promised
to bring a new video show baring
his name to the social media
platform X. He sat down with EX
owner Elon Musk and it all went
south in a hurry. He says Musk
canceled their deal. And piers
David Folkenflik has more
must go on SpaceX two so let's
call
this a failure to launch. Lemon
called their exchange tents yet
said on his own subsequent
social media posts that he kept
telling Musk it showed the
importance of the free flow of
ideas. Musk touts acts as a
haven for free speech but did
not apparently like what lemon
had to say particularly
questions about his alleged drug
use and anti semitic remarks on
x. Twitter, Musk attacked lemon
and CNN as well as
former CNN CHIEF Jeff Zucker,
a new CNN boss let lemon go last
spring after he made sexist and
ageist remarks about Nikki
Haley. Women's new shows to
debut on March 18. X says lemon
can post but without any
financial partnership. Lemon
says he'll seek the money that
Musk promised
John C Dvorak: anti AI laws in
the EU which needs discussion is
going to new. See.
Unknown: lawmakers approved the
block's artificial intelligence
act viewster. This world's first
comprehensive legislation on AI
Teri Schultz reports. The
European
Union's AI act is likely to get
final approval from EU leaders
in May. It will then be
implemented over the next two
years. It will ban some
applications of artificial
intelligence such as
manipulation of human behavior
and will regulate other uses
such as biometric identification
systems based on their potential
risks and impact. If tech
companies violate the new rules,
they could be banned up to 7% of
their annual global revenue.
Adam Curry: I go Bell, I didn't
realize it. I thought we were
done. All right. One. Well, you
said we need to discussion
talking about customers
Unknown: no longer have access
to dining rooms at most Taco
Bell restaurants in Oakland. We
spotted signs saying a dining
room closed at the restaurant at
35th Avenue and MacArthur
Boulevard today. According to
reports, four of the five Taco
Bells in Oakland are now drive
thru only because of rising
crime. The restaurants aren't
accepting cash either. We've
reached out to Taco Bell
corporate headquarters for
confirmation, but haven't yet to
hear back. Oh,
Adam Curry: boy, I'm out of
breath after that. Bell, I'd
like to follow up on the Don
Lemon portion of the clip Blitz.
Yes, please. Don Lemon, of
course came to explain his story
to the ladies of the view.
John C Dvorak: Shop. I am so
happy you got these clips
because I watched this. And I
said I've got to get these clips
is perfect for the show. This
was insanity. So
Unknown: Don Lemon was supposed
to kick off his partnership with
Elon Musk, on the billionaire
social media platform X also
known or previously known as
Twitter, but next week or next
week, but instead, Musk just
ended up cutting ties with our
darling Don Lemon after a rather
tense interview session watch
hate speech
on the platform is up. Do you
believe that x and you have some
responsibility to moderate hate
speech on the platform that you
wouldn't have to answer these
questions from reporters about
the great replacement theory? Is
it really I don't have to answer
this great replacement theory as
it relates to Jewish people. Do
you think that I don't have
to answer questions from
reporters? Don't the only reason
I'm doing this interview is
because you're on X platform,
and you asked for it. Otherwise,
I would not do this interview.
So you don't think Do you think
that you wouldn't get in
trouble? Or you wouldn't be
criticized for these things?
Possibly I could care less?
What a snowflake. What a
snowflake. No, this is going to
end badly. You know, Musk is not
really you know, I went into
this with my eyes open. And
look, this is just an old saying
in the south and they say you
knew I was a snake before you
pick me up. Yeah, I'm not saying
he's a snake. But I'm just
saying that. It's relative to
this. So I went into this with
my eyes open. But truly, I went
into it with the best of
intentions. I heard your
conversation just briefly about
an issue about independence. I
am an independent regardless of
what people think Elon Musk
thinks I'm on the left or what
have you. I'm an independent, I
believe in free speech. I
believe that people have the
right to say whatever they want
to say and but you suffer the
consequences for it when you say
it. I took them at their word.
They quoted me for months. Yeah.
And when their new CEO came
aboard she courted me her their
management team coordinator,
they sweet that sweeten the
deals with incentives. And I
said that was the biggest and
best place for me to launch the
show. And because you know
what's happening with television
now and it's shrinking.
John C Dvorak: Oops, not don't
make a couple of comments real
quick before you get your Yeah,
go for it. He's wearing pink. So
let's start with that. So he's
wearing a pink outfit as he's
sitting there. And then he says
this comment about you knew it
was a snake you know the snake?
Yeah, you know, pick me up Yeah.
Yeah, Don Lemon was the snake
not musk. He knew he was a snake
when you pick me up because Don
Lemon who was too stupid. For
one thing he wanted $5 million
in advance plus a piece some
stock in X got to do this in the
first place my morning. They
carted me as a he had some some
ridiculous demands. And then
he's the snake and then he does
what nobody does, which is you
turn and bite the hand that
feeds you which is the snake can
you don't see the view people
going after Bob Iger or Disney's
practices or anything? You're a
bunch of hypocrites stupid. This
I found this to be the most one
of the most offensive things
I've ever seen them do on the
view. I bring this guy on.
Adam Curry: I think Don Lemon
should join the view we could be
one of the ladies of the view.
He's perfect. I would I would I
would hire him he's he'd be
great. Yeah, be great on the
view. But he
John C Dvorak: was he was
swimming in pig shit. You could
either sitting grant he's got
the dumb look on his face, pink,
orange, pink, and
Adam Curry: then telling the
view that television is
shrinking. Dude, Be smart. Be
smart. Don't say those things
are so dumb. So dumb. So, I got
a, I got a red alert yesterday.
This is dropkick with a red dash
alpha message and two farts,
Texas limb calls me. He went up,
they went back home to the
Panhandle because there was a
big fire there, which of course,
no one talks about, you know,
Boo was fired. It was talked
about, yeah, well, but we
haven't talked about the
repercussions. He says that most
of the ranchers who lost their
ranch in that area of the
country of Texas certainly is
cattle country. That's where
there's huge processing plants
up there. And we know that all
the beef processing has really
come down to three main
processors. There's no more real
connection with the American
rancher. And we already had saw
our herd our, our American herd
at the lowest they said since
the 70s. Slim says Adam, is the
lowest ever and it's worse,
because these ranchers are not
coming back. They can't get
financing, which obviously, you
know, money is very expensive.
Now. He said, This is the
tipping point. This he says the
summer of pork is coming. The
only beef that you're going to
see is going to go to China and
Europe would be sell sold as
caviar. You'll see beef in your
supermarket. But this is the
stuff that so we really have
three farms now. The Amazon,
Africa, and funnily enough,
Australia, and Australians don't
get their own beef. And it's all
being produced by JB s and
Cargill, then they M they will
shoot these animals up with
everything. It's gotten to the
point where people will they'll
do a taste test between beef
from the supermarket and pure
beef straight from a Texas cow.
And they liked the supermarket
beef better because they're
putting taste products into it
like MSG. Not not MSG
specifically but they've they've
got something figured out where
it just your brain goes Wow.
John C Dvorak: Can up the BDS
Sony Bologna's Yep, flavor.
Adam Curry: Yep, that's exactly
what's happening. And you know,
there's, there's, there's almost
no protein left in this beef.
And it's a big problem. And to
add to that, the climate change
we got to get rid of the cows
everywhere. So it's all open
source nonprofit beef
initiative.com Find your rancher
near you go buy your beef
directly from that rancher
because if you let that rancher
go, you're not gonna have
anything to eat? Well, yeah, you
will. But it'll just be Crap.
Crap. Exactly. Crap. It's really
I mean, if he was going on, and
I've never heard, he told me
this three years ago, and they
said this, this is bad. We got
to do something about it. And
now should this is the tipping
point because these ranches
aren't coming back. Kids don't
want to do it anymore. Like
yeah, you know, you can you just
sell the land, the take the
money, I can't get financing for
it, banks won't pay for it. So
whatever. Just wanted to make
everybody real happy with that
news. And let's check in with
the with the war in Ukraine,
which we know has to wind down.
And I think we now see there's a
new term. I think we now see
who's going to be responsible
for it. In fact, that the
telegraphing is where the buyers
military industrial complex,
come on over whereby and if
you're ready to sell full
Unknown: smiles between Europe's
two most important leaders, as
they met in Berlin occur
greeting though a hint at the
simmering tension between all of
Schultz and Emmanuel Macron,
especially on the issue of
Ukraine. And invitation to
Berlin from the German
Chancellor saw the pair meeting
with newly elected Polish Prime
Minister Donald Tusk. The
military welcome and appropriate
start for discussions that were
expected to be fraught and
focused on the future of
Europe's defense meeting is a
revival of what was once called
the Weimar triangle. Already, it
may have shown its ability to
unite the three countries.
Downside to have an evolutionary
update, we've agreed on some
Adam Curry: main issues, among
others, that we will acquire
even more weapons for Ukraine on
the international market. This
is a step forwards. Secondly,
the production of military
equipment will be expanded by
cooperating with other partners
in Ukraine. A crystal clear
signal goes to Moscow. The
Russian president must know that
our support for Ukraine will not
ebb. We stand united by Ukraine
side. These guys are left
holding the bag. The Weimar
triangle Give me a break. Here
you guys deal with it.
John C Dvorak: So is the same
guys to the names keep cropping
YEAH. OH Yes, Ben I think you're
in the play since we started the
show 16 years ago.
Adam Curry: Wasn't that his
brother who got killed on the
plane? That crashed and Russia
was not? I think I think was one
of those then
John C Dvorak: you have to have
a grudge forever
Adam Curry: brothers. man whose
Tusq Yeah, it's it's bad. That
so that oh, we're gonna be
buying on the international
market. Yep. Come on by. Bring
us your PowerPoint. Where's your
sales pitch? That's because
we're leaving them high and dry.
I think we're just like, go
ahead buy do whatever you got to
do we don't care we're not part
of that. Love
John C Dvorak: we seem to look
as if and then they have good
because they've been held it up.
I mean, that would be our
Johnson holding it up in the in
Congress now. Now we're gonna
sit on this. And maybe the whole
thing is just a we're watching a
another play unfold where the
Democrats are going, Oh, you got
to get us the money. And the
other guy saying no, we're not
gonna get you the money. And
they're it's all a scheme
they've known all along. That's
where they can throw out the big
60 billion
Adam Curry: Sure. Which is
60,000 million. It's amazing. A
lot of money. It
John C Dvorak: would fix a lot
of potholes.
Adam Curry: I wanted to you
know, this is an interesting
case. This is that school child
who was trans and was bullied
and then committed suicide. The
child's name is next, I think
next to find trans name. But
listening to this NBC report, I
was just blown away. That they
blame it on everything except
the obvious the complete obvious
issue that is going on with our
children. A Heartbreaking
Unknown: update to a story we
brought you last month the death
of Oklahoma's student next
Benedict has been ruled a
suicide according to the state
medical examiner, friends and
family said the 16 year old was
transgender and had been bullied
a number of times at schools.
NBC News correspondent Antonia
Hildon has been following this
story and joins us now Antonia,
what else did the medical
examiner's report say? Well,
Alison, this report showed that
next Benedict committed suicide
by using or taking in a
combination of antihistamines
and antidepressants at a toxic
level. Just one day after
friends and family say that next
was attacked in a bathroom by
three classmates, after next had
thrown water on them for making
fun of the way that he and a
friend were dressed. And so what
we've heard from students and
some community members who've
spoken to NBC news is that there
is a culture there in this
school of that bullying, and
that in some ways they feel like
next has been failed by his
community. And this is a story
that's now spread across the
country. Even the President has
released a statement saying that
in memory of Next, we must all
recommit to our work to end
discrimination and address the
suicide crisis impacting too
many non binary and transgender
children. And so this is really
for many people becoming a
rallying cry. Another example of
the way in which the culture
wars, anti LGBTQ legislation and
rhetoric is having a real impact
on families, schools and kids.
So
Adam Curry: I asked you, John,
what was the thing you heard in
that report? That might actually
be the cause of suicidal
tendencies?
John C Dvorak: I in that report,
I didn't hear anything
specifically. I must have missed
it. How
Adam Curry: about the Eau de
being on antidepressants? Oh,
good
John C Dvorak: point. That's a
catch. Yeah,
Adam Curry: hold the whole
thing. You
John C Dvorak: Where did you get
those?
Adam Curry: It's
antidepressants. These children
are jacked on on drugs. And the
antidepressants are making them
more depressed. But oh, no. It's
anti LGBTQ legislation. It's
bullying. And today, let's
Unknown: talk a little more
about that. Because you have
reported so extensively on all
of this across the United
States, I mean, LGBTQ plus
advocates, they say this is part
of the larger onslaught of
legislation that has made trans
students feel and become less
safe when they're at school.
What specifically, are they
arguing? And when we're talking
about this bigger pattern and
your broader reporting, how does
all of this tie in? Well,
Alison, what they're effectively
arguing is that when we talk
about policy, when we talk about
books being banned in schools,
it may sound like these are
theoretical things or just minor
policy differences that adults
are debating at the Capitol or,
Oh, it's
Adam Curry: the book banning
that killed him school board
meetings,
Unknown: but they actually in
the view of civil rights
organizers, lawyers, many
educators and advocates, they
actually have a direct impact on
the mental health of children.
It can affect their health
outcomes there. Safety at home.
And that's what Nexus case
really represents to all them.
You can see there on the screen
survey from 2022 by the Trevor
Project found that more than 40%
of youth about the ages of 13 to
24, on drugs seriously
considered suicide, and that the
rates are actually higher for
transgender and non binary
children. And when you talk to
doctors, wait
Adam Curry: a minute, wait a
minute, I thought that if you
didn't let your child
transition, that you'd have a
dead daughter instead of a
living son
Unknown: suicide, and that the
rates are actually higher for
transgender and non binary
children. And when you talk to
doctors, I've spoken to everyone
from the medical community to
educators, what they say is
there is a connection between
our culture war and these health
outcomes. Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. It's always
a culture war
Adam Curry: and these health
outcomes. No, it's the drugs
it's, first of all. The kids
aren't eating any any healthy
food. They're eating sugar and
chemicals and crap. So they have
protein deficiency, sugar, and
then you're jacking them up with
drugs and then drugs to combat
the side effects of those drugs.
I pray for our children. This is
horrible that particularly NBC
shameful, shameful to blame it
on.
John C Dvorak: Bullying is the
last time drugs were ever
mentioned as the nexus of a
problem. Never on network
television. No, of
Adam Curry: course they're not
never ever.
John C Dvorak: Never Never.
Adam Curry: You got to go to a
podcast. Yay.
John C Dvorak: All right. Now if
the state now
Adam Curry: let's talk by the
way, you don't have to email us
when when we show you terms like
new commerce being used. We know
that this was all in Alien
Nation, and V and all these
different TV shows. That's why
we extended it was I think where
it was. Yes. That's that's why
we that's why we accentuate it.
And people also say, Well, you
know, Adam, you're talking about
the former banker who says, you
know, the financial system loves
having these illegals come in to
our country, because they get
to, you know, it's money. It's
money in the bank. And they
don't really understand that.
I'll just give you one little
example here in Chicago, and
it's not surprising
Unknown: outside the largest
migrant shelter in the city
lunchtime has become a business.
Watch as a car delivering
Venezuelan soup rolls up. The
makeshift business is run by
former shelter residents who saw
need as complaints about free
meals came up or
a blurry like a lamb began they
began the new rivals
are choosing to use their own
money to pay for food even as a
city signs multi million dollar
contracts with two different
businesses to feed them. WGN
investigates took a look at
those contracts and payments. 77
communities meal service has
already been paid 3.7 million to
feed migrants but could stand to
make as much as 45 million. A
second company 14 parishes
received 3.8 million according
to city records, with the
potential to make more than $57
million. The residents who are
choosing to skip the free food
and eat outside gave us images
of the city provided meals say
they may look fine, but taste
terrible. This isn't the first
time complaints are made. The
city even switched vendors
earlier this year hoping to
address the issues. But Trouble
has come up again. And we did
contact the food vendor for that
Pilsen shelter 14 parish they
tell us that they are meeting
all the nutritional requirements
in that city contract.
Meanwhile, the story also brings
up some questions about how much
food is provided at shelters.
There is no mandate in place but
it is part of the city's effort
to meet the meet basic needs of
new arrivals, new
Adam Curry: arrivals. The new
arrivals, they're like What are
you people eating here?
John C Dvorak: That's the irony.
The whole thing is hilarious.
That woman she there's fascist
who's got no flavor. It's
Adam Curry: just terrible and
they just throw hot spice in it
and it's crap and when I took
out some because it was
subtitle, but just like this
crap the kids won't eat no one
wants is horrible. And you look
at the pictures. Yeah, that's
exactly what we eat. Americans
eat in our ready meals from the
supermarket just heat it up.
You're starving yourself of
essential nutrients. New
arrivals. That was the marketing
on tick tock was probably a
little off, wasn't it? New
arrivals, newcomers new
arrivals. Oh man. Um hi yeah. Oh
yeah, yeah.
John C Dvorak: I have a couple.
I have a leftover clip I want to
play. That is because I want to
discuss the language used in the
clip okay. And it's just been
update we talked about this
before a million times but I was
I'm always thinking why are they
using this language and I they
all I think it's because they
want a simplification of a meme.
Play the the story about the
Trenton shooter Trenton shooter.
Unknown: police have surrounded
a home in Trenton New Jersey at
this hour where a 26 year old
shooting suspect has barricaded
himself. Trenton Police say the
residents of the home have been
evacuated. The suspect is armed
with an AR 15 style long gun and
is believed to have killed at
least three people in Falls
Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb
of Philadelphia. Ar
Adam Curry: 15 style long gun.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I mean of course
you could call it an assault
weapon if you don't call it an
assault weapon. You call it a
long gun. How about this? It's a
rifle. Yeah, now why do they
keep using long gun instead of
rifle? It's a rifle. It looks
like a rifle. It shoots like a
rifle it's a rifle you hold it
like a rifle it's not like a you
don't hold like a gun. I believe
like a rifle.
Adam Curry: I think the long gun
terminology is a trigger from
the from Sandy hooks. Hook.
John C Dvorak: I think it's I
think it's part of the
simplification project. We have
to ban guns. There's the guns
and rifles it said it makes it
too complicated. We have to ban
guns I think so everything's a
gun it's got a rifle it's not a
shotgun it's it's a gun it's a
it's a gun just a gun. So all
guns should be banned. And by
calling these things long guns.
It's good goes in that same
category. I think it's a scam. A
usage scan. Interesting
Adam Curry: point. Interesting
point. Well, while we're on the
John C Dvorak: it's called gun
control, not rifle control.
Adam Curry: But while we're on
the topic, you had this in the
newsletter I brought the clip
James
Unknown: crumbly hearing his
fate inside of the same
courtroom where his wife
Jennifer was also found guilty
on all four counts of
involuntary manslaughter. One
count for each student who was
killed more than two years ago
at Oxford High School. It took
this jury more than eight and a
half hours to reach that
verdict. The jury of six men,
six women split evenly. Some of
them are gun owners, some of
them also parents as that
verdict was read. James crumbly,
shook his head. Also in the
courtroom, parents of the
students who were killed the
mother of Madison Baldwin, her
name is Nicole. She wept as the
jury for person read that
verdict. I want to take you back
over what the prosecution's key
argument was arguing in part
that this school shooting was
preventable and foreseeable. by
James crumbling. The prosecutor
arguing over a course of four
days prosecution brought various
witnesses to the stand. 14 of
them were the same witnesses we
heard from an agenda for
Crumbley trial, but saying that
James crumbly who was
responsible for storing the gun
could have taken better steps to
prevent all of this from
happening. Tom,
Adam Curry: this is a hot button
topic. People have very varying
opinions on this I think you're
on board with a throw the throw
the parents in jail?
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not
necessarily on board with it.
But I think it's a definite
trend because this will this
will allow people to the law
enforcement in particular which
is having nothing but trouble
they got their short people they
you know, like the Oakland can't
even keep a Taco Bell open for
God's sake. How pathetic is
that? Because of the crime Yeah.
If you start to give you
introduces with whites, you
can't do this with a black
person yet but this is where
it's headed. Because especially
the black family which has been
disrupted largely by Democrat
policies would won't allow
fathers to live with the mothers
a man who sought a man that's
right. And he sort of welfare
going on. To leverage the
mother, especially black
mothers, leveraged the mom was
you're going to start shooting
people, you your mom's going to
jail. Because we're talking
about what the real problem is
with mostly with juveniles.
Isn't that I mean, adult crime
is different. But this random
juvenile crime of all sorts will
be leveraged in the future by by
arresting the mom and see what
you think of that kid. You think
going into the direction where
you're going to see parents
arrested for everything, not
just murdering a guy, as I
mentioned in the newsletter is
going to go beyond murder. It'll
be you know, being in a gang or
whatever it's going to be
beating somebody up it's going
to be for, for Assault or
Battery. Grab the parents
grabbed the parents and then
where it goes from there would
be once you're an adult and you
started committing crimes, the
parents can still be blamed
especially the mothers. This is
an attack on the this is going
to go in that direction. I I
mean, I think it's interesting I
don't I don't like where it's
headed. But that's it's obvious
that's where it has to happen.
Wow, to get a handle on crime in
this country you're going to
have to start arresting the
parents
Adam Curry: Jhansi Dvorak for
Governor for mayor of Oakland
Hmm, wow. Well, in this case, I
mean, gun safety and
carelessness with your firearm.
That is offensive. I mean, if if
you got kids in the house you
got to you gotta have your your
stuff locked up. You know, you
gotta have you gotta this this
basic gun safety. You just have
kid grabbing your gun. So
there's something to be said for
that. Yeah, but because I
John C Dvorak: kid are these
lunatics that are out there. You
could you could throw the book
at the parents for all of them
all the shooters. And I think
this is just a test case to see
what their public's reaction is
the public's gonna go Yeah,
seems reasonable.
Adam Curry: But you know, what's
next? You know, it's
John C Dvorak: open the gates.
Adam Curry: So once you get some
school shooter, you know another
one, those blue haired Nashville
shooters, arrested teachers.
John C Dvorak: If you happen,
it's your fault.
Adam Curry: We have your tick
tock.
John C Dvorak: You can start
arresting it. Well, I still
think that doctors is going to
start to go down because of the
trends you know they've reversed
transitioners suing left and
right and it's gonna get worse
and worse and worse. Yeah, this
whole situation with this legal
system is going to be stressed
with these sorts of lawsuits
over the next few years. Yeah,
and and criminal lawsuits.
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, up in
Canada Navia. were crying crime
is getting pretty bad. People
are stealing cars and Toronto
has a Toronto Police have some
advice for the people who are
plagued by this crime.
Unknown: There's also updated
advice
for all vehicle owners a message
echoed by Toronto Police
speaking at an a tobacco safety
meeting last month, Constable
Marco Ricci already had a new
message for vehicle owners who
keep their fobs in Faraday
pouches
to prevent the possibility of
being attacked in your home.
Leave your father's at your
front door
so breaking into your home to
steal your car. They
don't want anything else. A lot
of them that they're arresting
have guns on them, and they're
not toy guns. They're real guns.
They're loaded. So
Adam Curry: just just leave your
keys on the porch.
John C Dvorak: Let's just leave
them in the
Adam Curry: car. Yeah, just
exactly. When 87 When I was in
New York was crime was bad in
87. This is before Giuliani and
Commissioner Bratton came in and
cleaned it all up and threw
everybody in the East River.
Whatever they did. You would see
cars parked throughout Manhattan
with the windows open with a
sign on the windshield no radio.
Everything was just open.
John C Dvorak: There Steve
that's the era when they were
stealing radios your car what
was that market? I never even
been here would you like to buy
a radio? Oh yeah, that was that
was the squeegee era Yes,
Adam Curry: it was a squeak
that's what I'm told the
squeegee guys just disappeared.
Disappeared pretty much
overnight but everyone just left
their car cars completely open
go ahead get in whatever take a
look around. There's nothing in
here. Nothing to steal windows
wide open. It was the craziest
thing. But now it's like put
your fob in a carrot Faraday
cage and leave it on the porch
with an arrow FOB here that's
not what does it
John C Dvorak: come to
candidates gets a lot of weird
we should do a special show on
some of the weirdness going up
bought up in Canada where
they're having a hate speech as
a life sentence. As some one of
the promises wow
Adam Curry: you know Moe just
sent me that link to her to a
video it's 12 seconds I'm gonna
play it but it says rat grilling
in New York City is getting more
popular with migrants as New
York's rat problem gets worse by
the day. And most comment is
Demolition Man was a prophecy.
She remember Demolition Man. And
people were living underground
they were eating rats.
John C Dvorak: Come on during
the French Revolution a bunch of
rat recipes showed up in the in
the market and people were
eating rats in France. But this
Adam Curry: but this this is
kind of solves a couple of
problems. The new arrivals don't
have to eat our crappy expensive
food ethnic gets rid of rats.
I'm not kind of liking this now.
Brother We live in a broken
world
John C Dvorak: here's an obscure
story that we can play this the
air a boycott of us this is
nobody's talking about this. NPR
mentioned it once some
Unknown: people angry about the
US supplying weapons to Israel
and its war with Hamas are
boycotting US brands in Paris
Jana Raff reports it spread
through many Arab countries
including Jordan
in bustling downtown in mind,
the Starbucks branch is almost
empty. But next door a homegrown
Jordanian coffee chain astrolabe
is filled with customers. Many
of them young people mostly say
they no longer go to Starbucks
because of its perceived support
for Israel. In fact, a lot of
people like saying the doll
consult an app when deciding how
to spend their money. So
you can put any brand or product
name and it will tell you why
it's boycott. Like how does it
support Israel? It's
the same at McDonald's and in
supermarkets where shelves of
Coke and Pepsi have been
replaced by local cola. It's led
to layoffs of Jordanian workers
as well as hurt some US company
profits. Who's doing the
boycotting? Say it's the only
way they can send a message that
the war in Gaza has to stop Jane
Arraf NPR news, Amman.
John C Dvorak: Wow. This is a
major deal. Yeah, well, we
Adam Curry: already had we
already kind of had the human
here we had the what was it to
boycott divest was the other one
John C Dvorak: was to boycott
divest me as DDB whatever it is.
I
Adam Curry: forget what it is
now. Yeah, that kind of that
kind of went away. Was it should
be those guys time to shine. I
don't understand. Boycott,
divest and some to come on
trolls. Help me out. It was BDS
BDS movement, boycott, divest.
And squirrely sanction? No.
Thanks, bull moose sanction.
Yes. Yeah, that just went away.
Interesting. Good point. No,
just at
John C Dvorak: a must have been
one of those operations that had
you know, a strong leader. And
once the guy gets
Adam Curry: well, Roger Waters,
Roger Waters, the end. And
what's the what's the girl's
name? Who had we used to be on
our tea? She's Abby Maher. Andy
Martin. Yeah, they were always
just going on and on about it.
John C Dvorak: Abby Martin
showed up in some other
screwball operation recently.
Adam Curry: I thought she was
just doing podcasts. Well, that
is a screwball operation, I
guess. By definition, speaking
of which, this is a value for
value podcast, I talked about in
the beginning of the show. We
don't have any commercials or
corporate money, and we don't
have a tick tock lobby, we
John C Dvorak: wouldn't be able
to do any analysis whatsoever.
No, if we had any corporate
money in the show would not be
as good and people should
appreciate that. I think that
they're losing their
appreciation of it ever since
COVID. died down?
Adam Curry: Well, it always
takes a couple of years for
people to realize. So I think
that, you know, don't remember
when when Ukraine kicked off.
You guys on the wrong side of
history, each round behavior. It
is and we knew right away that
this was a whole military
industrial complex sales job.
Yeah. And we called it and
people call this horrible. Now,
it's not easy doing. You have to
stick to your guns. I mean, we
can change opinions if something
changes midstream. But I think
we've pretty we've held on
pretty steadfast,
John C Dvorak: consistent. Yeah.
Which is what you want from a No
Adam Curry: Oh, no. Oh, no, no,
no, no, no. We're getting
Zionist checks for protecting
Israel. That's the That's the
latest, you know, this. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I don't get that
one. Because I don't think that
we're that pro Israel period.
Now,
Adam Curry: but we're not saying
enough. It's the silence.
Silence is violence.
John C Dvorak: One of the
reasons we're not saying enough,
is because the information we're
being provided by the propaganda
system is not worth analyzing,
because it's bogus on both
sides. Besides these Hamas, dead
body count, which is from from
Hamas, literally, which has been
analyzed, by the way by a
statistician that was on my club
man, he was on the Mark Levin
show.
Adam Curry: It's also stuck at
30,000. It's also stuck at
30,000 hasn't budged above
30,000 In a couple of weeks.
John C Dvorak: It comes in Yeah,
well, this guy looked at the
numbers and says these numbers
are all bogus because it's not
possible based on the
statistics. And whereas Mark
Levin is a war monger and Yeah,
exactly. We're no longer likes
the likes the Israeli position
and he's all I'm giving more
money to Ukraine. So yeah, yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And we'll see
how good Mike Johnson does. I
think I think he's, you know,
they're gonna try and force him
to do that. I'm gonna force him
to bring a build
John C Dvorak: Michael Johnson.
I'm still thinking he's looks
spooky to
Adam Curry: me. So I spoke
yesterday to a guy named Rick
Green. He's building this thing
here in comfort, which is nearby
Fredericksburg called The
Patriot Academy. Really a great
idea. And you know, their
rhetoric replicating the House,
the Senate the committee
chambers? What,
John C Dvorak: really? Yeah,
yeah. Oh, it sounds like a photo
op.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's been. I
mean, this pretty big. This is a
big a big place. They've done
this all over the country. But
now they've decided to do it,
you know, inhabit a campus. And
so it's off Route 87. And
they'll bring an H in it. 24
year olds, and they learn how to
get a bill into committee what a
bill is basically a school of
rock. Only real hands on
John C Dvorak: what our high
schools are. normal kids like
everybody in this country.
Adam Curry: There you go. And
then in addition to that, you
get a two day handgun and
concealed handgun course. So
they got a beautiful range out
there. And so Mike was in the
Texas Senate for a couple of
years. And, and he knows Mike
Johnson. And I say, Dude, that
guy looks like a spook. He
cracks up he says, I'm gonna
have to tell him that I said,
Don't you think so? He looks
either looks like he's a high
school nerd or spook or both.
And he goes, Yeah, he's got a
kind of laughing it off. So I
don't know. I'm gonna I'm gonna
be mining Rick Green for more
information. But I think your
theory may not be far off from
the truth
John C Dvorak: it's just a look.
I'm not going by anything else.
I'm not going by our normal
snow.
Adam Curry: Just look we are
John C Dvorak: going about it
which is
Adam Curry: we're just
superficial. Here we go by
looks. You look like a spook.
You're a spook in our book.
We're done. That's
John C Dvorak: its mill. You
have a mill you you get a mill.
You have a yellow era bunches,
they the way these some of these
women all sound like they're
from the same, you know,
sorority?
Adam Curry: Like throw room
saying Rick Green. That sounds
like a fake spook name. Well,
you got a point there. Got a
good point there.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, my name is
green. I mean, these
Adam Curry: guys are cool.
They're bad. They're a part of
some group. Yeah, the CIA? No,
it's a different group, a guy
named Steve. Let me see what
this guy's name is. He's a
businessman. So very successful
business guy, Steve Maxwell,
citizens defending freedom,
which I think is liberty for
moms for dudes. And it's really
good. They have they have a
pretty good pitch. They're going
around and talking to hundreds
of people, pastors, you know
leaders in, in, in communities
and they say look, look at the
Declaration of Independence to
take God God Creator God, we've
got it we've got to go back to
the roots if you want to save
our country, because in two
years, it'll be 250 years since
the signing of the Declaration
of Independence and that's
pretty much the trigger year
when everything should either
fall apart as most nations do.
Or we figured out how to save it
I liked their pitch it was it
was a good little pitch they had
good for them Yeah. And with
that I'd like to thank you for
your courage in the morning to
you the man who put the seas in
the crap we're feeding to our
children say hello to my friend
on the other end the one and
only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: strand Korean and
morning ships to see the boots
on the ground the feet in the
air the soldiers in the ones
that danger the lights out there
in the morning
Adam Curry: Oh, no, no. The last
Thursday we had 2139 No. Sunday.
I'm sorry. The last Sunday. Last
Sunday was 2139 I believe was it
not? Could be 1994 is the count
today. We're down we're down
hundreds of trolls This is not
good. Yeah. I don't know what
happened there
John C Dvorak: is they lost
interest somewhere away
somewhere.
Adam Curry: It was the clip
blitz that did it I'm sure
that's what happened. The clip
blitz was lively now they went
out clip Blitz. That was
probably got the the beef.
Really, really other beef. Maybe
you're telling me though this
drunk? Oh, it's St. Patty's Day.
Everyone's Oh, yeah, hell Okay.
Doesn't count. I'm amazed you
guys are here at all. It was the
African side. Not that drunk.
Yes. Right. Everyone's drunk.
Okay, I feel better.
John C Dvorak: St. Pat. We can't
any Hall. This is as a quasi de
facto holidays. Not really. But
it's a celebration day and so
yes, those days are always low.
Okay. So nobody says they'll
listen to the show later. As a
podcast, because that's what it
is. It's a podcast. And we'll,
we'll catch up with them. That's
good. Just fine.
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, I'm happy
now I'm like, what happened?
What did we do wrong? But yes,
it's actually quite a high
number, I'd say I think this is
quite good. Now that think about
it. So you can become a troll.
It's actually not hard at all,
you just go to troll room.io.
And you could listen to the no
agenda stream, which is 24 hours
a day. And we have a chat room
there, which is of course not
when we're on the air, it's a
troll room. But if there's
always someone in there, there's
always something going on.
There's lots of live shows. In
fact, we have a big live show
coming up after today's
broadcast. St. Patty's Day
behind the schemes, they're
doing a V four v goat drive. The
race raise funds for the, for a
live concert on the stream.
Yeah, there's all kinds of good
stuff going on. We are trolls
are very active, it's a great
community. Or you can get a
modern podcast app. Now there's
an idea go to podcast apps.com.
It's all part of the podcasting
2.0 revolution, which has taken
away power from Apple and any
other central entity, so they
can't D platform, your favorite
podcast, and we have lots of new
features. And the most the best
one is that now almost all of
the we have so many podcasts,
hundreds of 1000s of podcasts,
they use the system that when
they update a new episode,
within 90 seconds, it shows up
on these new apps. And today, I
am going to promote true fans,
true fans.fm And that is now
it's a web app. So you can also
use on a desktop, they have
everything, every single feature
that 2.0 has true fans has. And
they've gone all the way and
said we're not even putting
something in the app store. We
don't even want to take that
risk. So it's a web app, and it
worked really well go to podcast
apps.com To find out more about
podcasting. 2.0 podcasting
two.org So I explained that we
are a value for value podcast,
which means that you can support
us with your time, your talent
or your treasure. We love our
artists, they truly deliver time
and talent. And although ever
since the AI, image generators
flew, it's gotten kind of tough.
Because you know, people just
you know, they tossed some ideas
out and it really creativity
can't just come from the the
prompts, you know, you have to
be a creative person. And um, I
think what's happened I'm sad as
you know, artists would go in
they say, Oh, look at all those
beautiful art. But it's not it
may be may look beautiful, it's
rendered beautifully, but it
doesn't have that oomph. It
doesn't have the soul soul Thank
you. So which can only come from
above it can't come from a
prompt that we do want to thank
sir Schug Schug What are we
drinking? Show beer.
John C Dvorak: It's just a just
nothing special today. It's just
polar seltzer.
Adam Curry: Now just the
cheapest stuff you could find. I
got I am drinking a San
Pellegrino from a can which has
zero calories. Nope. So and what
is this? Well, this but natural
mineral water with co2 added
this is climate change in the
can.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you know,
I've talked to him climate
change people about this and
they say well, they take the co2
out of the air and then put a
thing it's the same co2 That's
already floating around. So it's
not really adding anything to
co2. Well,
Adam Curry: if I burped then I
co2 is coming out and I'm
polluting the earth
John C Dvorak: is but it's air.
It was co2 that was already in
the air. My buddy, Robert James,
it's
Adam Curry: neutral. My buddy
Robert Jensen, who does a value
for value podcast in Holland. He
just started a new clothing
line. And it's I love co2. And
it's all in green letters. I
green hearts co2. I think that's
a good idea. We should just
start saying how much we love
co2 because
John C Dvorak: the plants love
it. Or you get we had a clip
above five or six years ago this
guy some greenery that was they
had a greenhouse system that was
pumping extra co2 into it and he
said you can't get the plants to
be happier. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
absolutely. They're trying to
kill us. That's what they want
to reduce co2 forced to correct
make the plants unhappy and soil
die,
Adam Curry: so we're all gonna
die. So sir shag shag, aka faux
Diddley. We're always looking on
days like today I'm sure we're
going to be looking for some St.
Patty's Day art. We'd love those
traditional art pieces for you
John C Dvorak: look at the St.
Patty's Day artists come in,
you'll probably see the piece
I'm going to be promoting. Okay,
well, first
Adam Curry: I want to thank fo
diddley here for doing a
beautiful pie pie. I was a
cherry pie with a pie on top
symbol pie. Now we actually we
looked at a couple let me just
log into no agenda art
generator.com here for a second,
which is anybody can go there
anybody? Yes, I see exactly
which one you want to choose.
Anybody can go in there, anybody
can submit or just follow along.
The artists are working very,
very hard. And now we had a
gambit, which is our exit
strategy of slender meant. So a
lot of people thought, wow,
that's that's a shoo in. But it
was pi day, Friday. Now, slender
mint.com is live and I've put
all of the Slenderman art up
there. I've put it as a snappy
little jingle and a song. So
we're claiming the brand. Before
we have the product.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's,
that's because we have some
bases in Silicon Valley. Yes. So
Adam Curry: we do not have a
basis in the gum industry. So
we're looking at
John C Dvorak: Valley mentality,
which you can't seem to get rid
of.
Adam Curry: We have nothing else
that's that's all we have. So
you of course wanted the
Francisco scare manga cheesecake
lady with with the pie.
John C Dvorak: Yes. Because you
had a better shot at getting
acceptance from you if over on
the other side if he'd balanced
a piece a little bit and put pie
Pie Day in letters. Yes. Yes,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Now it was just a
boob.
John C Dvorak: She's to get just
a couple of boobs, basic
Adam Curry: gratuitous boobs. So
now I was like now now let's
just to
John C Dvorak: have this there's
no doubt about it. So it didn't
have the you know if he said Pi
Day on and now the, the one that
we picked, which was the pie
with a pie symbol on the top, so
we knew it was pie so and
everyone knows that symbol was
great was chosen because it was
the most artistic of the group,
but you hated it. Hated because
you thought Adam curry Johnson
of art was too small.
Adam Curry: I did. I said that.
In fact, I said I would gross
about it. So thank you for
reminding me. It was too small.
Yeah, there was really but there
was nothing else. No, that was
good. No, there was nothing but
I loved all the Slenderman
stuff. All of us really good.
You were like, Oh, look at this
blueberry pickle, surprise. I'm
like This sucks.
John C Dvorak: Which one was
that
Adam Curry: the blueberries with
the pie on top. It was no good.
There were two This too is a by
pickles surprise you like that
was it now let's go back to the
one with the with our names that
are too small, which is usually
your complaint. What? Thank you
very much faux diddly. for your,
for your time and your talent.
We appreciate it. Thank you to
all of the artists. And of
course, thank you to Dr. Scott,
who makes sure that those modern
podcast apps have all of the
chapters he does like 3040
chapters per episode. So you can
bounce around and find stuff
easily if you want to go back is
also we have transcripts you can
search that all that I mean
this, we have an amazing
community, truly, an
outrageously amazing community
who do so much for the show,
which is so incredibly valuable.
We thank you all for your
courage and for your time, and
talents. And let's thank some of
the people who brought in the
treasure. The treasure is most
very necessary, because that's
how we keep our fires lit at
home. And we'd like to thank our
executive and Associate
Executive Producers right up
front. And we're going to start
off with a fan favorite. That is
the one and only synonymous of
Dogpatch and lower it's LeBeau
via who always comes in with
cash, he sends it from an
anonymous location. He always
has a typewritten note. And, and
the number always includes at
least one $2 Bill, I presume
that this 1502 included one $2
Bill just guessing.
John C Dvorak: I thought it was
1503. I see 1502 on my on my
sheet. I know I know. But I
remember the coming in J counted
it. And there was a $2 bill as
usual. So we have to put this
number at least until it's
verified. Because we these
numbers are code. So if we
Adam Curry: can't screw up the
code, if we screw up the code,
then people might die or
whatever, because it is some
kind of code here it is from
synonymous of Dogpatch and Loris
lobia. Thank you to all
producers and John and Adam for
making the production quality of
this show outstanding. Still
traveling and behind in finding
a mailbox. He always sends it
from a mailbox. In my travels.
The general view is there will
be a change in the US slash
Middle East diplomacy regardless
of the election outcome. This
dude we have no idea what he's
doing. But he has an
international mandate
John C Dvorak: to be somewhat
plugged in. And he's also in he
does use. I believe he uses a
mailing service which you can do
if you're overseas. And it goes
into a big pile and it gets
shipped somewhere in this case
in New York City and then gets
mailed from there. He
Adam Curry: says walk softly and
carry a big stick diplomacy has
long been abandoned. All
international issues are now
viewed by US political leaders
as nails and the US military is
our only tool. Yeah, I think we
agree with that. He has a quote
here from on war book one
chapter one Carl von Clausewitz.
The quote is, war is a mere
continuation of politics by
other means. Some deep and deep
learning here and US diplomacy
by other means has atrophied
while others invest in broader
toolbox. Yeah, we need to change
some stuff here, that's for
sure. With Lenten Ramadan
overlapping this year, I hope
this period of simultaneous
religious reflection and
sacrifice by the two largest
religions on earth can bring
about a small movement towards
civility. No jingles, no karma?
Yeah. Well, as we discussed,
revival is overdue. So, let's,
let's hope let's pray for that.
Pray for that. Thank you very
much the Animus of lower of
Dogpatch and lower Slavia we
love you, we appreciate you and
happy Ramadan, that we do
believe he's Muslim. And he's
definitely definitely Muslim.
And we'll make sure that if it
isn't 1502 We'll update it
accordingly so that no one gets
no one's in parallel with your
code transmissions.
John C Dvorak: Baronet tests

Yeah, you better believe it.
They are and they're ready to
go. No jingles no current but a
technical question for the curry
Devorah Consulting Group pay
attention. Why is the audio
quality of Meghan's podcast
guests so terrible? I think I
can answer this one, because
they use Zoom. And zoom is just
a crap product. Zoom came up
with this whole for broadcast
this whole green room and you
can talk to the producer, or the
producer can talk to you and
they have all this stuff in
there. But ultimately, it's a
crap product. So
John C Dvorak: that is why
Horowitz and I use Zoom. And we
sound fine. We don't sound as
bad as that. I think it's the
mics.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah, I mean,
you can you can tune it. Of
course poor which is a he's a
radio guy. You can I mean, we
used I used to to new and on
crappy Skype but they would
default back to am radio
quality. Remember those days?
But yeah, Skype, Skype. Yeah, so
John C Dvorak: they don't even
use Skype anymore? Yeah.
Adam Curry: I don't know. I
haven't had an interview on
Skype. Most people use river
radio or something like that.
These other products. We like
clean feed. Number We don't need
any video. That's for sure. And
that's probably do you got you
don't you don't use the video
part two. You just know. You go
when you use the video with the
audio. That's when? Okay, there
you can make sense. All right.
Thank you. Eva. Good. Dig good
way. Get
John C Dvorak: yourself out of

it didn't hurt. So I thought
maybe I try a second one to see
if that one hurts. But no, it
didn't hurt either. So now I'm
up to like five or six donations
without the pain. Take care.
It's almost always been nice to
listen to your show. You don't
have to read the blue
highlighted area if you don't
want it. But I think we will
since you've given so much
money. I was in a public
transportation business in the
limousine business for 35 years.
And I'm wondering how the value
for value systems would have
worked in that business. It's
not a business where you need
it. Where I see it. Most of the
peeps I drove around, we're kind
of wealthy so it might have
worked with them. But you never
know what you are going to get.
Do you that's
Adam Curry: interesting. I
wonder if if you just drive
around and you and then pick
people obviously you know what
it wasn't worth to you. You know
that's like the pedi cabs in
Austin. They're not allowed to
charge money. It's donations
only. And those guys they make
out pretty well. Oh,
John C Dvorak: well. That's
interesting to know. He
continues his letter was sent by
saying during the elections I'm

Pearl Harbor survivor from Bend
Oregon is living with them. Wow.
And he was came up with this
idea of of, of a creating a
special knighthood for gramps
who is being moved to a hospice
because he's getting on and
hopefully this listen to this. I
think and I make an executive
decision, but I'm going to put
this forward. Stephen Pels.
mocker. Some years ago, his
original Grand Duke had given us
three nice things to give away
and there is one left. Oh, I
proposed that. Yes, I remembered
this. I propose that we give
gramps a knighthood today. Okay.
While he's still floating around
there. Yeah. And we won't have
to do this promotion. I think
they're even though you know me.
I'd rather do a promotion when I
can. But I think we're gonna
give grandpa Richard Higgins a
knighthood today if you can put
them on the list. I think that
would work. Okay,
Adam Curry: grandpa, Richard
Higgins and we just turned him
into sir Higgins. Just to make
it easy. Yes, sir Hagen's.
John C Dvorak: During the war.
He flew as a radio man on a PVY
flying boat in the war. As far
as we know. He's the last
surviving PVY crewmen that was
on Ford Island during the attack
on Pearl Harbor. Wow.
Adam Curry: Yes. And his
birthday is on July. So he said
put them on the birthday List
for July 24. He was born in

he's 103. Just remind us he'll
still be here but he'll be a
night. Beautiful. Alright. Well,

We'd like to bring you some good
news. So you can feel good until
the next podcast because the
news is nothing but crap. In the
meantime, John, what do you have
for today's good news segment.
John C Dvorak: This is a story
about the wandering boy. A
special needs student at a local
elementary school decided to
just go for a leisurely walk and
disappeared from the school.
Nobody they didn't nobody
spotted me left and it was they
had to be rescued by some
passerby. Oh,
Unknown: we got a missing kid
Kiante Edmondson, getting the
word out on social media Friday
that this little boy was
missing. I
said, Well, hey, maybe if people
share this because parents or a
relative or somebody can see I
wasn't doing they're trying to
be viral. or not that I was
trying to get some help for an
exercise. He first spotted the
boy around one o'clock when he
was driving on Joy road, and I
just seen a young man jogging
down the street. And I noticed
he didn't have a coat on and I
noticed that he wasn't nobody
behind him. So I bust a U turn.
Edmondson,
caught up to him and tried to
get with him. But he noticed
immediately that he may have
special needs.
He did the thing with the IRS
like Shawn Murphy from the good
doctor. Then when I was talking
to him, he wasn't particularly
respond and he wasn't very well
verbal at all.
He says other people who saw the
boy running stopped to help him
and missing call. The police
then went live on social media
to get the word out. In 10 to 15
minutes. He says Dearborn police
arrived with a school official
from McDonald Elementary where
the boy went to school. But
once he saw his teacher, he was
more comfortable. And you know,
it's and she had, I don't
remember what she said his name
was but he seemed somebody that
he was more familiar with. So
Fox
Two reached out to McDonald
Elementary, and they said via
text that the student walked off
the school grounds of diversity
and normal around 1215 in the
afternoon. The statement reads
in part quote, fortunately, the
student was not harmed or
injured. Parents were contacted
and I along with several
district administrators spoke
with the parents to explain what
had occurred. This uncommon
incident does not reflect the
procedures or practices,
followed by staff members for
safe supervision of students.
The district is conducting an
investigation to determine the
facts of how this situation
occurred. And quote, they vow
accountability. The boy wandered
a mile away and miss it says
he's grateful to boys okay, and
that he's sprung into action
when he saw him. God
just put me in the right place
at the right time. Amen,
Adam Curry: brother. No nice,
nice little God twist at the
end, John. Nice. Nice. I love
that.
John C Dvorak: It's an
interesting story. Yeah. Take
Adam Curry: care of your kids,
