Adam Curry: send back your tote
bags. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
on a march 31 2024. This Year
Award winning given nation media
assassination episode 1647.
Unknown: This is no agenda
Adam Curry: serving all the ops
and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country
right here at FEMA Region number
six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley, we wish
everybody Happy Easter and
congratulations bowling. I'm
John C. Dvorak skill.
Adam Curry: Before we get to
bowing, happy Easter, John,
John C Dvorak: happy Easter,
Adam Curry: Happy Easter. He is
risen, as we say Happy Jesus
Super Bowl day. Or bowl. Hell
yeah, Jesus. It's Jesus Super
Bowl. Yes, it's the big one. Or
as our president likes to say,
Happy Transgender Day of
visibility.
John C Dvorak: Because God knows
we've never heard of such a
thing. They need visibility.
Adam Curry: That is the first
psychological operation I will
mention today there will be many
more obviously, obviously set in
motion to elicit a response. So
transparent, like give me a
break.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but a
response from who from Christian
hears
Adam Curry: from Christians, so
and we get all mad, and then the
transgenders get all mad. It's
just it's always on March 31.
It's our day. It's our day. I
love my favorite.
John C Dvorak: What since the
last three years, when did this
happen? Yes, pretty much. Last
year. Do you remember this day
being a diary, kind of remember
Earth Day, but I don't remember
this being a special day. Last
year was a special day now.
Well,
Adam Curry: it has been the
Transgender Day of visibility on
the 31st since Biden entered
office. And, you know, since he
has
John C Dvorak: kind of, I want
to ask this question is in
general, yes. What kind of a
Catholic is this guy Biden. Just
wondering, I mean, just doesn't
seem to match the general
principles.
Adam Curry: No, at all. I mean,
and he has the President has to
proclaim these things. So he
proclaimed it on by proclaim on
Good Friday, of course, way to
go, Joe. So it wasn't like they
didn't know they didn't know
like, Oh, this is great. It
could have said, You know what,
I'm proclaiming it on April
Fool's Day today. That would
have been funnier. All right,
April 2, for what all I care
anyway.
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna jump to
this clip, but denatured went
look for humor. Yes. I just
think this is peculiar. This was
happened just a couple of days
ago. This was the US the Navy
ship, Harvey Milk. And I have a
clip here and I it just warrants
commentary. The
Unknown: US naval ship named
after a civil rights leader
Harvey Milk hosted a celebration
in San Francisco this morning.
It's the first navy ship to be
named after an openly gay person
and one of six named after civil
rights pioneers. Harvey Milk
served in the Navy before coming
to San Francisco achieving the
rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.
He later became the first openly
gay elected official in
California. Congresswoman Nancy
Pelosi reflected on Harvey
Milk's own words, as he was
sworn in as supervisor. Navy
officials said the military is
stronger today for the service
of LGBTQ members. The US NSA
Harvey Belk is part of a class
of ships that will provide fuel
and cargo to Navy warships.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so here's
what got to me. Yes. So they
have a gay he's a gay activist
at the time he's the one of the
guys murdered. I won't say he
was a Twinkie guy.
Adam Curry: He was the guy Kanye
made a movie about it a guy
Khan.
John C Dvorak: He's a good guy
icon. And so they put given it
just seems to me if you sub
maybe or P even anything, but an
Euler for a gay guy. Oh, there
you go. I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: It is you know 15
Forever brother. I love it. You
celebrate your 72nd on April 8,
and you're still as funny as you
were when you were 15 that April
fifth. I don't know if that's
you know, April April.
John C Dvorak: April is is some
attack day. I'm not sure.
Unknown: Okay, I'm sorry. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Meanwhile, follow
up here to that clip you want to
play it? Outside
Unknown: the event at Pier 32
protesters gathered to sound off
against us support for Israel.
Dozens of people chanted and
waved signs as the motorcade
left the event with protesters
calling for a ceasefire. They're
in Gaza. They also claim the
ship is headed for the Middle
East to provide support for
Israel. But a navy spokesperson
refuted that claim saying the
ship is headed to Norfolk,
Virginia, where it will not be
deployed for at least a year.
About half a dozen demonstrators
made it onto the game plank of
the ship where they chained
themselves to the game.
John C Dvorak: What kind of
security do it does the US Navy
have that a bunch of these
protests and make it up the gang
plank and then chain themselves
and have the time to chain
themselves to the thing is
unbelievable.
Adam Curry: There were
protesters this morning during
Easter mass at St. Patrick's
Cathedral in Manhattan. Yeah,
yep. Came in unrolled a big
banner Free Free Palestine. Hey,
wrong building people. You want
temple down the street? Well,
they don't do that.
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Adam Curry: very hold very well,
let's stick with the nautical
theme for a second because I'm
pretty sure and I have some
evidence of this. That a lot of
psychological operations, which
are very so mean, you know, your
your Twitter feed is a
psychological operation. So you
know, it's not like everything's
a psyop. But it is, there is
there is a there is a psyop or a
couple psyops in play. And it is
my belief. Based on some
evidence, I think that the
military industrial complex,
specifically military
intelligence is playing games
with us. Do you think it's
possible? Well, I have I held
the DIA and much higher regard
than the pickle factory CIA. But
but they seem to be doing it
only for their for money. And I
know, I know, right?
John C Dvorak: I know.
Adam Curry: Revelation. Well,
the reason why is I have two
women here who have spouses in
the intelligence in the military
intelligence or former military
intelligence, which means you
still have been Can you ever
really leave the intelligence
community? Probably no, you
John C Dvorak: sign your life
away, so probably not. No.
Adam Curry: So we talked about
my neighbor down the street,
Laura. And now she is married to
former dia, who I believe work
directly for Flynn. Maybe not,
I'm not so sure. And then in
their sweet people, but as we
discussed on the previous show,
she really staked her
journalistic reputation on the
line for this for this bridge
thing being a hack, a cyber
hack, a GPS spoofing and she got
it as she said multiple places
she got it from intelligence
people current intelligence
people former and so obviously,
if if military intelligence
wants to get some message out,
the one of the easiest ways is
to go to someone with half a
million Twitter followers and
you know, one who appears on
Newsmax and news now in America
today and whatever all these
programs are to spread this
message. And I'm not going to
read I did put them in the show
notes all anonymized the
unbelievable amount of boots on
the ground that we have. I mean,
we have the best the best
producers in the universe. This
morning. One came in from a
bridge engineer who said now
nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
And I bet you all of these are
pretty pretty long notes. And
almost all of them said nope,
nope, no, I think all of them
said nope, nope, nope. boots on
the ground for one of our
producers who was on the ship
that hit the bridge in 1977 and
Hopewell Virginia, very similar.
Very, very similar. We got one
from a very good one and with a
great rant at the end from the I
know this this spoof personally,
who piloted naval ships for five
years. He says now No, this is
not spoofing. And and everyone
kind of lays out the the obvious
I got a note from a trooper
flight paramedic from the State
Police in Maryland who was
flying over this while the
assault took place. We have
local boots on the ground. Just
incredible. People and I will
take their word over any
intelligence any day because
they're on the ground. They've
done this. And you know, could
we be so
John C Dvorak: I ran one one of
these notes partially the
newsletter correct.
Adam Curry: So, and I will say
that I myself had had have had
in the past certainly before the
2020 election, a lot of military
personnel telling me things
turned out to be really crap.
Yes. So, you know so. And of
course I didn't I don't have a
journalistic career to stake on
it. I was like, I'm the MTV guy,
believe me. No one cares about
that. But it was through the ITV
that I got a piece of
information. I have a clip that
tells me that somebody is lying
the heavily
Unknown: laden container ship
which hit and destroyed a road
bridge in the American city of
Baltimore overnight, did so
after its power failed as it
prepared to sail underneath. But
ITV News has been told this
power failure wasn't a freak one
off, the ship was apparently
blowing fuses in dock before it
set out in the darkness. In
a slowed version of the footage,
you can see the lights on the
ship go off, and black smoke
emerge before the collision.
authorities have confirmed it
did suffer a power failure. A
port worker has told us the ship
had experienced serious issues
before it set off.
It was here for two days because
it was a two day working ship.
And those two days they were
having serious power outages.
Like the, like I said, the
reefer boxes that we have one
there, which the refrigerated
boxes, they were actually
tripping the breakers for our
mechanics that were keeping the
generators running on those
while they were trying to fix
the ship. And it was just not
they weren't even holding that
they were tripping breakers on
that. So I mean, they said they
had a superior electrical
problem,
the result of its malfunction
today, what the mayor of
Baltimore has called an
unthinkable tragedy. Now
Adam Curry: this as far as I
know, this hasn't this worker
who looked like a worker? Yeah,
she looked like one of them on
the dock the hardhat look real
official. This sounds very
credible to me. That our the
refrigerator boxes are tripping
the breakers this thing had gone
on for two days. Now, of course,
we haven't really heard this
yet. Because as you know, we're
still looking for dead people
and all kinds of other human
interest stories. But I think
that this is being abused one to
possibly point the finger at
China. That's what because you
know, military industrial
complex, they want to pivot to
China. They want to build huge
ships, submarines want to
reinstall bases on the islands,
the pivot to indo the Indo
Pacific. But I think also this
may be used for some political
means I was talking to one of
our producers, Eric, he says,
you know, wouldn't it what you
can almost just wait for is for
Trump to start saying, this has
taken too long. If it was me,
I'd have this thing restored and
seven weeks
John C Dvorak: involves building
this is true, we can do that.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: you know, so. So, to
me, this is a huge psychological
operation. And I'm just going to
believe our producers and and
this particular dockworker, and
I'm sure more will come out
about it. Now the second
military industrial complex
psychological operation is one
that I've been looking at for a
while. And imagine my surprise
when not only wolf shows up in
the Netherlands, on a program
called black box, and I've been
on this I've been on this show
before and that the Ancilla
works there. Now, and settler
was not doing the interview
until it was one of our
producers who has sent us a lot
of stuff over the years. And I
hold Nomi in pretty high regard
for most of her opinions. And
she's you know, she's she's
influenced me in multiple ways,
including on my faith journey.
But here, she is going to start
repeating some tropes about
immigration in the United States
that come from where as she
credits here, her former
military intelligence husband
for southern
Unknown: border in the United
States is open. And the State
Department my independent
research found this to be true
is funding with the UN. This
mass emigration from a lot of
evidence for that. Yeah, so much
evidence in its millet. 16 point
5 million people now just walked
over the border, they're being
airlifted they're being flown to
strategic locations around the
United States are being housed
in barracks type accommodation,
which never happened to
immigrants before in my country.
And the same thing is happening
in Europe looks a little
different, but it's been going
on longer, but millions of
people coming. No disrespect.
I'm the daughter of immigrants
and the granddaughter of
immigrants but these people are
being being flown in from China,
who's Becca, Stan, Afghanistan,
Angola, places that export
mercenaries as well as
Venezuela, cartel yo gang
members, whole cartels. And you
look at the footage My husband's
a veteran and the former member
of military intelligence, and
he's identified that the peep
the groups coming in look like
soldiers trained like soldiers
walk like soldiers. And like
soldiers have military haircuts
their their fighting age men,
overwhelming. They're being
stationed at strategic locations
throughout the United States in
large groups. What is that? This
is a staging area. It's an
invasion. Right? And one signal
these years so the May, October
7 in Israel with a small group
of terrorists crossing the
border at one signal, you could
have so much chaos, that the
elections have to be suspended.
That's the point or Marshall.
Adam Curry: I mean, I'm sorry.
No, me. But she took her to a
place that I did not expect from
you. Wow. That Oh, yeah. It'll
suspend the elections. Okay.
Military
John C Dvorak: goes on almost
every election cycle this.
There's a couple of things that
have cropped up this started
with Nixon, I might add, you're
gonna suspend the elections. And
Nixon is right. What just
happened? is going to crown
himself king.
Adam Curry: Oh, no. Like Trump.
Oh, my God. And then Biden. He's
John C Dvorak: gonna do it, too.
Yeah. So
Adam Curry: she gets this from
her former military intelligence
husband, and I'm not saying that
he is in the up. But I think
that you know, people's like,
oh, no, he's got all the cheese
on Banyan show. Let's tell him
about to China. And literally,
she said they have military crew
cuts. Well, I haven't seen that
yet. No, I haven't seen it. Why
John C Dvorak: look at these
videos, which they show a lot of
on Fox because they like to
Yeah, and I don't see this at
all. I don't see this at all.
And she starts off
Adam Curry: right away with
China and then compares it to
October 7, that will have them
on the inside ready to attack
us.
John C Dvorak: But anyways, not
the way October seventh the
opera in no other way. Oh, so
Adam Curry: a second clip here.
She's all in. And this is this
is a huge mistake on her part.
She she uses the term for
illegal immigrants.
Unknown: Same thing is happening
here. But even if you just leave
it right, even if these are
thoroughly peaceful newcomers.
Oh,
Mrs. Newcomers, I cannot believe
that she did that.
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second,
I was expecting you to say
something like, you know,
wetbacks or something that way,
you know, newcomers newcomers,
that means she's, that's not
that's a bull. That's Yes.
Adam Curry: I imagined by
surprise. Same thing
Unknown: is happening here. But
even if you just leave it right,
even if these are thoroughly
peaceful newcomers.
Adam Curry: As Dan said, almost,
she catches herself, doesn't
she? She
John C Dvorak: does. You can
hear that. Oops, yeah, she
catches in that three beat
pause. Yeah, same
Unknown: thing is happening
here. But even if you just leave
it right, even if these are
thoroughly peaceful newcomers,
Ed does said so rightly, just
wait five years, and you'll have
a completely different America.
Adam Curry: Now wait for it,
because now she takes us in a
whole different direction and a
completely different
Unknown: Western Europe. And in
an America why? Because we'll
get there. In America, the
people who are injected will die
off or be too weak to fight. And
the people who've taken their
places don't come from countries
that have a history of human
rights or representative
democracy. And the same thing is
true in Western Europe. And so
I'll tell you the why. And this
is the same way that goes back
to the end of America, Western
Europe, and like Europeans need
to wake up to the value of their
own culture and their own
history. And this is not a
racist thing to say. It is just
purely, you know, what Western
Europe developed doesn't make
you better than anyone else. But
they're precious things in your
culture, that you have to like,
realize in time, you have to
save and defend and fight for.
And the same thing with United
States because it's only the
United States and Western
Europe, that are the last
obstacles to this globalist plan
to create a feudal society
around the world and to turn us
into like nodes in a central
bank digital currency, you know,
vaccine passport, thoroughly
tracked, surveilled, suppression
society.
Adam Curry: So I think she
actually in the beginning there
she said that these people would
replace our military are they
attacking our military or are
they replacing them? Make up
your mind? This is this is
psychological warfare.
John C Dvorak: You Yeah, it is.
Yeah, it is. And
Adam Curry: this is the hidden
in plain sight that's taking
place it is our own military, if
they're doing it, just so we can
sell more stuff. That's all war
is a racket everybody knows it.
Thank you, Smedley Butler. And
this is just just what it's
going to be.
John C Dvorak: Which brings me
to the 2000 pound bombs are
shipping over to Israel. Hey,
this
Adam Curry: is I think this is a
psyop from from the Israelis. I
have Yeah, listen, I have
because I went looking for the
money. To show articles because
I got the here's this is I
consider this to be a hit piece
malicious, just
John C Dvorak: backup and to
explain what we're talking
about.
Adam Curry: I have a clip that
explains it a good clip and then
we can deconstruct it. The
United
Unknown: States has authorized a
multibillion dollar weapons
package for Israel. According to
several media reports. It comes
as President Joe Biden publicly
acknowledged the pain being felt
by Arab Americans over the war
in Gaza. He has also faced
criticism by some in his own
Democratic Party. The decision
follows a visit by Israeli
Defense Minister Joseph Collins
to Washington this week, that
you arms package is meant to
include 1800 of the most
destructive bombs used in Gaza.
The White House declined to
comment. Daniel, the US says
it's concerned about Israel's
conduct in Gaza. Why then said
it 2000 pound bombs which are
highly destructive, especially
in densely populated areas like
Gaza?
That is a contradiction that has
been discussed in the American
media a lot. No, apparently the
Biden administration doesn't see
a contradiction here because it
says it provides these weapons
not to Prime Minister Netanyahu
with whom they have a difficult
relationship at the moment and
who was like, of course, calling
the shots in the Gaza operation,
but that they're providing this
for Israel security. I think for
the Biden administration, they
are in a way in a lose lose
situation because its support
for the Israeli military on the
one hand, and then it's its
opposition to the behavior of
the Netanyahu government or the
other leads into a difficult
situation to a quagmire
Netanyahu has has successfully
lobbied Congress, not only the
Republican Party, but also the
Democrats for many years. And
he's now cashing in on what he
had been successfully doing over
the last decades. And on the
other hand, of course, Joe Biden
has opposition inside his own
party, many young Americans, not
only Arab Americans, young
people in this country see that
there is a contradiction in
these policies. And if you drive
around here in in America, you
would probably see at the
freeway, a billboard, which says
your taxpayers money kill kills
children and Gaza. So this is a
difficult situation. And Biden
seems not to be handling it very
well.
Adam Curry: This is an app this
this news reporting started in
the Times of Israel, as far as I
can tell. Via this is Netanyahu
going oh, yeah, you and that
douchebag, who went to meet you?
Our own guy? Yeah, we're going
to take you down. And these
these bombs, I mean, it's not
like a new purchase or anything.
It's just part of the standing
work order. The AU has okayed
it, and no one from the White
House is commenting. Okay.
John C Dvorak: So too well, the
more interesting thing to this,
which wasn't even mentioned in
that report is the 25 F 35.
Yeah, it's
Adam Curry: mentioned in The
Times of Israel.
John C Dvorak: They did mention
I've got it mentioned it all
over the place, let alone the
Times of Israel. But
Adam Curry: I'm pretty sure it
started with the Israeli media.
I'm pretty sure. You don't think
so.
John C Dvorak: The Washington
Post is the first was that I
know reported it. Last Friday,
they reported a quiet authorized
arm shipment. Well, and unless
you can pre date from last
Friday, and well, that would but
the point is is they got it's a
very strange situation. Because
it seems to me that the way it
was done the way it was reported
and everything else, especially
the what do they need 3025 More
jets for that. And they got
their own damn jets. It's just
like, wow, how many more jets do
you need? You have the pilots
form? And what is the point of
the 25? Those jets cause $90
million dollars each
Adam Curry: just to make Biden
look bad. That's all I can see.
John C Dvorak: I'm thinking the
same thing. Just to make him
like, this is a but I don't
think it was I don't I think
it's I think I don't necessarily
think it was Israel trying to
make Biden look bad. I don't
think they understand the
situation. But And meanwhile,
Netanyahu is under the knife
with full anesthesia. And you
know what happened the last time
one of the world rulers had this
happen? Do
Adam Curry: you mean King
Charles?
John C Dvorak: Boris Johnson?
Adam Curry: Oh, that's right.
Boy, did they change that guy?
He came out a whole different
dude.
John C Dvorak: He came out a
whole different dude. And so
Netanyahu is going in? I don't
know. Okay, he's going in for a
hernia operation. Ouch. Who has
full anesthesia that that's
happening as we speak
Adam Curry: who's taken who's
taken charge while he's while
he's under?
John C Dvorak: So I think Dick
Cheney
Adam Curry: perfect time for a
coup if there ever was one. Do
it. Before
John C Dvorak: we get totally
away from Baltimore, I do have
some clips I want to play
because They're more they're
educational. Okay and and they
refer to that what Baltimore
really does there because it
wasn't well explained but I find
I found three disc three clips
and they're kind of taken from
two different shows that I
pulled from NPR even though
they're one person I think is
the same about the cars the bit
the business that is hurting is
Mercedes yeah
Adam Curry: that's what I
remember I
John C Dvorak: told you that I
know we talked about in the last
show Yeah, but I didn't know all
the details and the details are
in these in these three clips
and these are what I consider
these clips informational and
this is
Adam Curry: to me why wait a
minute, we're gonna give people
some information on this show us
just do
John C Dvorak: deconstruction
once in a while we do
informations. Debate, debate,
Baltimore update car info new
Unknown: in Baltimore. Crews are
working on cutting up pieces of
the collapsed Francis Scott Key
Bridge to remove it. And large
equipment has arrived to help,
including seven floating cranes,
10, tugboats and barges. Six
people died in the collision
before bodies remain missing.
Meanwhile, it's a worrying scene
for the auto industry because
the Port of Baltimore handles
more cars and light trucks than
any other port in the United
States. And now most of it is
blocked. Some car companies are
scrambling to find workarounds
to get their vehicles from ships
to dealers and peers, Camila
Domina. Bosque says companies
can use other ports and then
send them by land to Baltimore,
once the vehicles come off the
ship, there is really important
processing that has to happen.
This includes adding parts,
installing accessories on the
vehicles, there's inspections,
there's paperwork that has to
happen before a vehicle gets the
window sticker. And that happens
at the port. And if you can't do
that, even if you've gotten them
off the ship, you wouldn't be
able to sell the car,
Adam Curry: I would say
especially the Mercedes Benz G
class, which is all Eevee. They
have to install certain parts to
even qualify for some of the
subsidies. Oh, they have to be
us parts in order to qualify for
the Eevee subsidies. So
interesting. That wouldn't
surprise me that this is a
problem for them. Although the
CEO he was on CNBC, what was it
two days ago? He's like, Hey,
we're figuring this out. Of
course, he's like, keep my stock
up, people.
John C Dvorak: Go on CNBC.
Everything's
Adam Curry: good. It's all fine.
Don't
John C Dvorak: worry about it.
Everything's great. Here's clip
two,
Unknown: what are the potential
options? What are the
alternatives?
Yet, from my conversations,
there's three that really stand
out. One is there is a part of
the bottom report that is still
open. Right at the mouth of the
harbor. There's a terminal that
Volkswagen and GM W use for
their vehicles. And the terminal
has confirmed that they have the
capacity to accept other
vehicles, two second, companies
could unload their vehicles at
another port all together, and
then drive them to Baltimore for
the second part of the process,
the processing. I talked to the
port of New York in New Jersey
and Newark, they said they have
been in conversations about
this, that they could take
vehicles off the ship and put
them right on a car carrier
bound for Baltimore. And Scott,
one advantage of both of those
approaches for Baltimore, is it
would still support jobs at the
port even while ships can't get
through. The other is companies
could use ports that are much
farther away, where they are
already processing their
vehicles. So for instance, there
is the port of Brunswick in
Georgia. It's a long way from
Baltimore, but the Port says
they have had conversations
about being a backup option. And
there are other ports up and
down the East Coast that are
also good candidates. They're
places that companies are
already doing this vehicle
processing for other parts of
the US market. It would mean a
longer drive to dealerships. But
a lot of ships go up and down
the East Coast and stop at
multiple ports. So it might not
require a detour at sea. And it
would mean the carmaker could
unload and process the vehicle
at the same port in the same
place. They already use
basically their normal process
until the drive.
Adam Curry: Well if I was BMW
and Volkswagen, I'd be like,
hey, Mercedes would be given
them any any help.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I can see
being that way.
Adam Curry: Here's American
cars. Okay. The American cars is
different world war one for a
benefit
John C Dvorak: to us. That's for
sure. Yeah. This guy. I think
there's a final clip. It's got a
few little tidbits.
Unknown: However, does this mean
that Baltimore could lose out on
this important business in the
long term? People have
really emphasized to me this
would be an interim solution,
Baltimore's location right in
the middle of the East Coast,
the expertise that in the
equipment that Baltimore has for
these kinds of vehicles in
particular, that will still be
there in the Future I spoke to
one supply chain expert who was
very confident that this was not
going to hurt the port's long
term outlook.
John C Dvorak: Alright, so now
we're up to date, it seems like
convenient information, I
believe follow the thesis that
this is was an accident. I'm
Adam Curry: there too. And
there's been three of these in
the United States in the past.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it happens.
So it does. And the newsletter
had a nice piece by one of our
producers who mentioned that
he's been on these boats when
they come out right after their
manufacturer. They immediately
have electrical problems. The
boats, yeah. Yeah, the ships are
junk.
Adam Curry: It's all junk.
John C Dvorak: So everything
like everything else like that.
As I mentioned the beginning of
the show, to Apache helicopters
go down within 48 hours. Those
Apache helicopters are made by
Boeing.
Adam Curry: Oh, man. Yeah,
Boeing is in trouble. It's I'm
reading about Boeing. There's
now websites that you can before
you book your ticket. Yes.
John C Dvorak: webs. Yeah. You
mentioned that you sent this to
me and said, Wow, this is not
good. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Making it easier for
anxious fliers to choose their
preferred aircraft. I think I'll
choose that Airbus flight if you
don't mind. What's it called? am
I flying? boeing.com? Is that
what Yeah. Am I flying?
boeing.com?
John C Dvorak: Wow. This
Adam Curry: is very, you know,
there's there's some thinking
out there that you know, the
Chinese copy these the 737.
We've done stories on that in
the past. That now not I don't
think the US aircraft. Airlines
will be buying any Chinese
aircraft pretty soon, but I
could certainly see
international carriers buying
them. They've been trying to get
this in for a long time. How
long until the military
industrial complex calls all of
this? What's the word? I'm
looking for incompetence.
Chinese operations.
John C Dvorak: Gotta know.
They're gonna have a hard time
proving that one.
Adam Curry: They don't need to
prove anything. They just need
to give it to lar Logan.
John C Dvorak: Well, the idea
that DIA is messing with us is
is interesting, because why not?
Adam Curry: Well, for money, I
mean, it's obvious from
John C Dvorak: the money's
there. But to me that a little
bit of money is not
Adam Curry: a bad person. Her
husband is not a bad person. I
think they're being used. It's
it makes me a little mad,
actually. It's not cool. We were
talking about BYD and Chinese
vehicles, etc. And there was an
interesting note from one of our
producers Emerson, he says in
response to the ongoing
discussion of the potential for
Chinese cars to be brought to
United States, I'd like to point
to a parallel industry where
they're already making big
inroads, cheap Chinese dirt
bikes. He says they began to
flood the traditional multi
manufacturer dealerships back in
around 2017. These were not
outstanding products, but the
price point and availability
kept them flowing. When the
pandemic started, good Japanese
bikes were all held up at the
ports. Perhaps manufacturing
delays in Japan as well these
bikes became very hard to come
by. And it was very annoying.
Enter CF Moto, a new Chinese
road bike built on platforms
that have been farmed out from
other manufacturers. The bikes
are okay. They already build
many of the components for these
other manufacturers the prices
are cheaper than anyone elses.
And the only real detractor is
the stigma of a Chinese bike.
They have absolutely flooded the
market will pose a serious
problem for Japanese and other
affordable makes and models I
can following this model I can
see an easy pathway for cars to
enter the big big box
dealerships that already sell a
variety of makes by you know
that there's a lot of these
dealerships now the no haggle
dealerships if you've seen these
I'm sure Oh yeah. And it's like
this is your price there's no
haggling buy it or get off the
lot. Yeah, but
John C Dvorak: the price is good
like the price is good. Yes. Now
the we have to note something
which is like because I've been
trying to follow this as best I
can. Chinese manufacturing. It
often starts off crappy like
these bikes might be but unlike
our products which start off
excellent and then deteriorate
into junk. Boeing in example,
I'm I'm guessing that Chinese
products tend to improve over
time. Because as best price, the
best price orientation they have
another competitor comes in and
makes us pretty much the same
product but sells it at the same
price but it's better quality.
And that goes on and on. I mean
most of the hot high end cameras
today which are precision
engineered for the most part,
are made in China. Yes, this
level of high quality product
that comes out of China nowadays
is pretty remarkable. So, so
this frightening the fact that
they took over the dirt bike
business because they'll end up
improving the product, because
they're very sensitive to
criticism. And you'll end up
with a gypped to just take it
over your you've lost it.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And
ultimately, best price matters.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's
actually not a bad strategy.
Adam Curry: Well, our producer
here thinks that that just that
would be a good way to
especially with the port now.
This would be the time to
strike. They gotta hurry. Oh,
John C Dvorak: you bring in the
cars. Yeah, bring us bring him
some code. BYD has got a
factory, somebody pointed out is
in Costa Mesa or in Pasadena.
There's a place they make buses
already. And they have a new
bat. They have about a lithium
ion battery technology that
doesn't blow up and I'll please
Adam Curry: that, yeah. Okay,
I'm not gonna,
John C Dvorak: I did a lot of
research. I used to be like the
battery guy when I was writing
for Forbes. And I'd be like, I
don't do it as much anymore. As
far as a battery. You are the
battery guy. I wrote a lot of
columns about the various
battery technologies. I didn't
know that. So I'm pretty good
about battery technology. And
there's a they use a new anode
or cathode on these new lithium
ions that prevents ended, then
they don't use as much rare
earths and these batteries last
longer, they don't hold quite as
much power but they are close
enough. And they last like 67%
Lower. They're just fabulous
battery or these guys are BYD
make all of them. Are these the
salt batteries? No, no. Is that
lithium ion batteries called
lithium? I think it's called
lithium ion phosphate battery.
But
Adam Curry: I got a I got an
article from Deutsche battery.
Yes. Yeah. The future heard from
Deutsche velas. Not to
John C Dvorak: future believe me
reading. Let me read it. No, I'm
just saying to that guy, not
you. It's
Adam Curry: Deutsche Avella.
Question Will China pull ahead
with battery technology,
transforming business. When
assault power eat cars rolled
off the production lines in
China it hit the headlines not
only because sodium makes up one
of our favorite table
condiments, thanks to a chip.
But also because so far, no
electric vehicles been able to
run without Lithium. And so
Deutsche Bella here saying that,
that these lithium battery or
these assault batteries are
cheaper and more don't blow up.
And that they are the future.
Now you're the you. I just heard
you're the battery experts. I
John C Dvorak: am and I'm
unfamiliar with the assault
battery. So I'll look into this
and I'll have a report for the
next show. Okay, good. Very
good. So, Adam, hey,
Adam Curry: I watched the upon
your recommendation. I watched
the Last Starfighter. Oh,
John C Dvorak: you found it and
watched it? Yeah. You know, I
was surprised that it came out
in the 80s. That that was late
70s 1984.
Adam Curry: i It's funny because
you search for it on YouTube.
You get you. I gotta tell you,
that's kind of slick. You get it
on YouTube. You get the trailer.
And then when the trailer is
over, it says, Would you like to
watch it now? For $3? And you
click yes. And then your viewer,
I have my Google account
connected to PayPal. Don, I was
watching him and it was pretty
good now. You said without
evidence that the Last
Starfighter movie hasn't been
reproduced, where the idea was
that someone was trained on now
this so this kid was trained on
the on the video game, then he
got zapped up to another
dimension to go and fight the
evil empire. But apparently
Ender's Game. There
John C Dvorak: was a couple of
of what I said specifically, was
the movie itself. Last
Starfighter has not been re
issued as they haven't remade
that movie. They owe us elements
of it here and there, I'm sure.
And there's somebody sent me a
note listing a few of them.
Yeah. No, all right. Okay. Good.
So, without evidence, the
evidence is looked at the logs
of movies just wanted to say
without evidence. Yeah, you'd
love writing me about that. By
the way, the phrases there's no
no,
Adam Curry: no, no, the phrases.
President Trump said without
evidence. That's how it goes.
Well, there's that. Oh, speaking
of So Tina was at Mar a Lago for
this. We need to report yes, I
will. I have a report. We
started off with where Trump was
on the same day. Meanwhile,
Unknown: former President Trump
was also in New York putting a
spotlight on crime. He attended
a wake for in NY PD officer
gunned down during a traffic
stop. The Trump campaign claims
it will top Biden's fundraising
record next week by bringing in
$33 million at a Palm Beach.
John C Dvorak: I learned a
three. So my guy I have a three
by three about to play with you.
Adam Curry: Do you want my
report? Or do you not want my
report we want I want to report
John C Dvorak: but I want to
bring it out.
Adam Curry: Now it's time boa,
three, three narratives
everybody stay around and by
Jessie comparing.
Everybody, here are the top
three news headlines from the
top three ABC, NBC, CBS. Did
they all draw from the same
pool? Is it the same clips the
same NAT pops? What are we
looking at? John was
John C Dvorak: interesting. This
is about to celebrate about a
big gala. In New York, red Biden
and
Adam Curry: Clinton and Obama.
Yes. And
John C Dvorak: it was covered by
the news media this when Trump
did his he had a bid right here
to go to the week. And although
Adam Curry: he didn't he didn't
get on the podcast with was it?
What's that podcast that just
got $100 million
John C Dvorak: from the podcast
got $100 million, or we get very
hardly 50 people donating with
Adam Curry: a Jason Bateman. And
we'll Yeah, that what's the most
well, but
John C Dvorak: to be honest
about it's no sweat off our
balls.
Adam Curry: And he drops the
mic.
John C Dvorak: So what's
interesting about these clips,
is they had a female reporter do
all every network use the female
instead of bringing any guys.
You're
Adam Curry: sure it was just
someone?
John C Dvorak: Caitlin Huey and
Kelly O'Donnell.
Adam Curry: smartlace on the
name of the podcast. smartlace.
John C Dvorak: smartlace. Yeah,
that's
Adam Curry: the name of the the
100 million dollar podcast. The
Amazon pay that Amazon paid
John C Dvorak: for that. Good
for them. To get out of it.
Well, they got ads. They
Adam Curry: got three presidents
and a lot of ads. Yes, exactly.
John C Dvorak: So let's go with
ABC.
Unknown: Tonight. President
Biden fresh off that record
fundraiser, a show of force with
President Obama and Clinton by
his side. His campaign claiming
a $26 million haul in just one
night. No press cameras allowed
inside the campaign instead
releasing select clips. The
President painting a stark
choice for voters.
This guy denies there's a global
warming this guy wants to get
rid of not only Roe v. Wade, but
which is prep brags about having
done he wants to get rid of the
ability of anyone anywhere in
America never tattoos
and turning the tables on Donald
Trump. All the things he's doing
are so old. Speaking Oh.
Little old and out of shape
anyway,
President Obama. Voters around
Biden's record
you've got record breaking job
growth. You've got an
unemployment rate that is as low
as it has been.
The glitzy event at Radio City
Music Hall which was designed to
be a show of party unity,
punctured by protesters blasting
Biden for his ongoing support of
Israel's war in Gaza.
Those party divisions on full
display today Trump doubling
down on his message of law and
order after visiting the family
of slain NYPD officer Jonathan
Diller
it's gotten stopped. We have to
have law and order and when you
have people repeat, this isn't a
repeat offender. This is
ridiculous. I
Adam Curry: like that. She threw
in penetrated by protesters and
blasting Biden all in the same
sentence. Well read. Well read.
I love alliteration. Yeah, that
really gets me you do. And I'll
bet you they all had the same
papapa apart from Lizzo didn't
they?
John C Dvorak: Were listening
NBC and see what they had.
Unknown: With a dramatic
flourish. three presidents
emerged. Democratic donors
posted their images of this
entrance at a glitzy New York
City fundraiser needling a
fourth President Donald Trump
with a twist on the sensitive
issue of age. In this clip
released by the binary campaign
and the heart,
all the things he's doing are so
old, speaking old.
Little old and out of shape
anyway.
Tapping into the political
skills of Bill Clinton and
Barack Obama to sell the Biden
agenda. You've
got record breaking job growth.
You've got an unemployment rate
That was that as low as it has
been for African Americans by
the way, the lowest on record
ever. Tickets
started at $250. Put donation
soared as high as a half million
for the star studded night. The
event raised $26 million while
outside a large and loud
protests over President Biden's
policy on the Israel Hamas war.
Meanwhile, former President
Trump created his own contrast,
joining mourners grieving NYPD
officer Jonathan Diller who was
shot and killed the suspect or
repeat offender, Mr. Trump's
slamming President Biden for not
directly reaching out to the
dealers, they
could have called you don't have
to be a rocket scientist to know
even a call would be perhaps I'm
not sure they take his call.
Adam Curry: Well, so this was,
although they did not opt for
the papapa pardon from Lizzo.
They did have the same Trump
clip and also literally said in
the beginning, the party
releasing this clip of Biden
doing a very bad old joke,
whereas I saw some other jokes
which are much better written.
So I don't know why they
released that one. But they they
have an E PK, electronic press
kit, that I'm curious what CBS
did they usually do something a
little better.
John C Dvorak: With ABC and NBC
is reports as you heard, except
for the fact that ABC had the
protesters screaming and
yelling, yeah, which they left
out of NBC, which NBC is,
Adam Curry: yes, Democratic
machine.
John C Dvorak: This machine for
the Democratic McCray left that
completely out. They just kind
of mentioned it in passing, but
it was identical report Other
than that, but let's see what
CBS does. In New York City
tonight,
Unknown: a parade of presidents
headlight off
Adam Curry: another girl a
parade of presidents that I
mean, John, I wish we could be
that good.
Unknown: In New York City
tonight, a parade of presidents
headlining an event at Radio
City Music Hall that raked in
$25 million. There
Adam Curry: was 26 on NBC and
ABC Oh, Joe
Unknown: Biden's reelection
campaign. It's a record for a
political fundraiser, bolstering
Biden significant cash
advantage, even as he lags
behind Donald Trump in the
polls. Come
on, I desperately need your
help. Because through look,
there's only about six or seven
states, you're gonna determine
the outcome of this election.
The Biden campaign has $71
million in the bank compared to
the Trump campaigns nearly 34
million is gonna lose. Trump's
legal troubles have been
draining resources. A super PAC
supporting him spent eight and a
half million dollars on legal
fees so far this year, including
five and a half million last
month, a crooked
judge to say we're gonna have
you post a bond and take all of
that money that I could be
spending on a campaign. Sara
Breiner is a campaign finance
expert. In a race this close,
can money move the needle,
money can definitely move needle
by getting just the smallest
fraction of people to think
about the race in the way you
want them to think about. Wow,
Trump also tried to cash in on
the Democrats fundraising event
today asking for donations to
help defeat the Biden Obama
Clinton cartel. He was in New
York today attending the wake of
a fallen NYPD police officer. So
Adam Curry: CBS takes a
different approach and goes for
a blatant sales job saying all
that money's out there. But you
know, we can make the
difference. You should advertise
with us.
John C Dvorak: Well, they're
smart. Well, this is like old
Les Moonves when he was there a
year before he got Yes.
canceled. He's always for the
money. Yeah, well, you know,
Trump's good for the business.
Adam Curry: Well, you have that
clip here.
John C Dvorak: Made a great
quarter. Thanks to Trump here.
Yeah, here
Adam Curry: it is. Here it is.
The advertising
Unknown: climate couldn't be
better right now. And I've never
seen it this odd for a number of
years. Third quarter scatter was
phenomenally good. And fourth is
even better
than that. Just 2015. So
as the year ends, and we move
into 16 Guess what, in 16, we
have an extra AFC champion
playoff game. We have the Super
Bowl and we have a year of
political advertising. That
looks like it's shaping up to be
pretty phenomenal. You know, we
love having all 16 Republican
candidates throwing crap at each
other, it's great. The more they
spend the better it is for us
and go Donald keeps keep getting
out there and you know, this is
just as fun you know, the, you
know, watching this, let them
spend money on us and we love
having them in there. We're
looking forward to a very
exciting political year and 16
great quarter
Adam Curry: everybody. Great,
you
John C Dvorak: know, dawned on
me at this point. That that
comment go Donald may be the
thing that got him cancelled not
all the rest of it which could
have been a setup for all we
know ah interesting I never
thought about until I just heard
that clip for the fourth time go
Donnell okay you're out
Adam Curry: interesting
interesting yeah could be that
was that was what it was not
smart man he was he was just
being colloquial with all the
with other financial reporters
and hey great que les Craig Q
perfect Yeah, yeah, it's gonna
be even better next Q. I have a
report. No.
John C Dvorak: I do have one
more clip about this particular
event,
Adam Curry: but let me play my
my report and then we'll do a
clip and I have some other
stuff. President Biden makes a
big campaign stop in the Big
Apple today
Unknown: and it comes after last
night. This is local star
studded fundraiser where the
current president and two former
ones came together to break a
record. Our DC bureau chief Ben
Kennedy is live in Washington
with more Ben
Eden Calvin in response to that
record you were talking about
former President Donald Trump
now plans do out raise Biden who
had a multimillion dollar
knights. President Joe Biden
boarded Air Force One Friday
after campaigning in New York.
It's there he made fundraising
history with a record setting
$25 million in one star studded
event with musical performers
Queen lativa and Lizzo.
Biden's two Democratic
predecessors Barack Obama and
Bill Clinton join him on stage
with late night talk show host
Stephen Colbert moderating now
listen
Adam Curry: to this written gag
Unknown: How would you describe
what's at stake in
this election?
I think our democracy state
5000 supporters paid between 25
and half a million dollars a
ticket with an option to get a
photo with all three presidents
for $100,000 as the group took
aim at the presumptive
Republican nominee, former
President Donald Trump. Donald
Trump, as far as we can tell,
has just been trying to win a
third championship at his own
golf course.
My question to you sir, can
voters trust a presidential
candidate who has not won a
single Trump International Golf
Club trophy? At long last, Sir,
have you know chip shot?
Well, look, I'd be happy to play
I told him once before when he
came into the Oval when he was
being used before he got sworn
in. I said I'll give you three
strokes if you carry your own
bag. A new
national poll has Biden and
Trump and a tied race and key
battleground states with both
sides opening up more offices in
hiring hundreds of new staff in
an effort to reach voters in
locking away and come November
imagine
Adam Curry: how cringe that must
have been.
John C Dvorak: But give you a
three strokes if you carry on
bag is the best that cold bears
writers could come up with for
Biden, and
Adam Curry: he almost flubbed it
to cheese.
John C Dvorak: That's just
that's just terrible. It's
wonderful.
Adam Curry: Isn't one of the
oldest jokes in the in the golf
universe?
John C Dvorak: I don't know. I
mean, I only know a few golf
jokes. But I've never heard it
before.
Adam Curry: Okay, yeah,
John C Dvorak: not funny. That's
probably why
Adam Curry: you had another clip
because I have some stuff here.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I just I
got a kick out of this for a
number of reasons. And you can
maybe guess one of them. When
NPR decided to cover this, okay
didn't decide to cover the
event, necessarily. I
Adam Curry: know I know which
clip it is already.
John C Dvorak: They started this
ad to talk about neckties
Unknown: the other day, Joe
Biden, Barack Obama and Bill
Clinton, three Democratic
presidents were all in one place
to help Biden raise money for
his reelection campaign.
Adam Curry: This, by the way is
the National Treasure known as
NPR. This is
Unknown: not a campaign story,
though. It's not a campaign
finance story. This is a segment
about fashion because not one of
these current or former
commanders in chief was wearing
what's typically a standard part
of presidential outfits, a
necktie. This prompted several
men's fashion Watchers on the
internet to declare the death or
at least the beginning of the
end of the tie. Because listen,
if presidents are not wearing
them at fancy events in midtown
Manhattan, then who is to dig
more into this critically
important topic. I am joined by
fashion historian, Kimberly
Crispin Campbell, hey, Kimberly
got how high your first reaction
was to the discourse or
the pictures of this event.
I wasn't really surprised to see
this for a lot of reasons.
People have been, of course,
predicting the death of the Thai
for at least 100 years. But it
really picked up after the
pandemic and everybody went back
to work back to the office. The
tie did not right.
And like you said, this has been
a long time coming. But is there
something to the idea that there
are far fewer ties in
circulation than before?
Absolutely. The sales of ties
have been dropping for a long
time. And I don't think they're
ever going to go away. But it's
not surprising to me that
especially at a democratic
fundraiser, which was a slightly
more casual event than say apply
House press conference. The
timelessness was both a fashion
statement and I think a subtle
message to America. Yeah.
What does it say? Like Like,
especially now that it's it's
more optional in kind of more
formal or more work setting for
for men or people wear ties,
like what is that? What is the
statement at this point of I'm
putting on a tie. I'm not
putting on a tie. Well, as
I said, I don't think ties will
ever go away. But they really
are reserved for the most formal
events for weddings for
graduations, job interviews,
things like that. And they can
actually work against a man in a
less formal setting because they
may come off as stuffy or
pretentious. Oh,
Adam Curry: well, I'm glad
though, for those that one
minute and 59 seconds from our
little
John C Dvorak: treasures out of
a 10 minute presentation on
goodness.
Adam Curry: Yeah, send back your
tote bags. Well, this brings me
to a little mini report. Tina
was at Mar a Lago for a bat. It
was a movie called into the
light. And it's actually it's
about psychological operations.
I think it was part of a
fundraiser for a group that goes
and finds children who have been
trafficked and rescues them. And
she was invited by some friends
here so she went for a quick
overnight and she said a couple
of interesting things. She said
Mar Lago, by the way says is
very Florida, you know very you
know, yes, it's you know, it's
opulent, I think was the word
she used very Florida opulent.
So not gaudy, but Florida
opulent. No Ubers are allowed on
the premises. So they they
rented a car and that they had a
nice valet. She was very
surprised that there was zero
screening security metal
detectors, ladies didn't have to
open their bags or anything. And
she was especially surprised
because about halfway through
the evening, and by the way,
Vivek was there Vivek go. So
John C Dvorak: hold on. So they
didn't there's no security
distance you pick up some secret
folders while she was there.
Adam Curry: She brought me back
a napkin. She's there was a
goodie bag, what's in it? And I
left it there. Here's a napkin
by Oh, fine. Okay, well, there
you go. Vivek was there. And he
spoke at General Flynn was
there. And he spoke. And also
there was James O'Keefe. And all
he did all night was he was on
his phone. That's all he did. He
didn't he didn't talk to
anybody, which is on his phone
all night, which I thought was
kind of interesting. And halfway
through the evening, all of a
sudden, whoops, put on the
brakes. He flew right back from
New York, and President Trump
came in from the back of the
room. And she said Now things
changed. He says the Secret
Service was outrageously
amazing. It was just like this
flood of people. And then a hush
came over the crowd. And she
said that she actually found
herself surprisingly, she was
fangirling over President Trump.
She said he has an aura that is
unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you know, I
ran into him once years ago,
when he was with Marla Maples.
And I felt the same way. He has
an aura. Yeah, it's hard to
explain. It just has it. You can
see it's like the guy's glowing
as he's walking around.
Adam Curry: And she took some
pictures and he actually looked
pretty youthful, I would have to
say so I don't know what
happened there. But they look
good. He had he did have a tie
on. And it was not his 2016 tie
that's too long. That always
bothered me. And I predict that
he will never go tireless
anywhere he shows up. Because
it's a part of concealing his
his voluptuous belly. He will
never show up without a tie. And
she said it was it was really
quite interesting. And he
grabbed the mic and he spoke and
and you know, she thought it was
quite impressive. The only other
thing she she had to share is
that now at all TSA everywhere,
apparently where she was and you
had multiple flights to get
there. The TSA is now asking you
to take a picture of yourself a
biometric picture. And then you
don't have to show your boarding
pass. And she opted out. She
said can I opt out? Yes, you can
opt out you have to show your
boarding pass. So this is now
just standard operating
procedure. Your pictures being
taken at TSA. Remember it was
just a test and a couple
airports now it's just
John C Dvorak: though they want
to do it that way and
everybody's Erco that's great.
Easy, those things are pretty
remark Trouble. Yeah, I mean you
can't really disguise yourself
and get away with it. No,
Adam Curry: but the the upon
some query you know the the
answer comes Oh no, no it gets
destroyed right away Don't worry
about it tomorrow.
John C Dvorak: Oh really? It's
like those x rays of the naked
women. Yes.
Adam Curry: Don't worry about
it, we destroy it and we take it
away right away. It's all good.
Unknown: Yes bullcrap.
Adam Curry: Speaking of of
goodie bags and such This was
actually quite a little
interesting tidbit that came in
from the from the BBC details
Unknown: have emerged of a crime
wave of sorts. On the world's
most famous plane branded items
such as glassware and
pillowcases have been vanishing
from the official aircraft of
the President of the United
States Air Force One, the likely
culprits lead journalists from
Washington. The BBC is well
Vernon reports. A
source has told the BBC that
last month, the president of the
White House Correspondents
Association, wrote an email to
its members warning that
removing items from the
presidential plane is forbidden.
Kelly O'Donnell said such
behavior didn't cast the
journalists in a very good light
and must stop. Reports suggest
the press corps pilfering was
identified for our military was
taken aboard Air Force One
following a visit by Mr. Biden
to the West Coast. Several items
were found to be missing from
the rear cabin of the aircraft,
the section reserved for
reporters on the next trip,
officials will likely be keeping
a closer eye on the presidential
wild and hoping that journalists
don't go home with anything
other than a good story. Hey,
Adam Curry: go hell free.
John C Dvorak: Stealing from
that plane, everybody who's ever
been on that plane steal
something you do that you do.
And they know it and they
replace it. Remember
Adam Curry: when I was at
Buckingham Palace, and you stole
some no I wanted to steal
something went into the bathroom
to steal a towel or some soap.
And all they had was paper towel
dispensers and, and soap all
bolted to the wall. You don't
want to
John C Dvorak: steal anyway.
They're cheap. They are they are
the cheap. Alright,
Adam Curry: I have some Anderson
Cooper 360. Here regarding
because of course, you know,
this is very just amazing. It's
just amazing. And you can't
underestimate what these what
these presidents are doing for
Joe Biden's campaign here is the
one and only 100 millionaire Van
Jones.
Unknown: I think that anytime a
police officer loses his or her
life, that's a tragedy. People
should show up. But the reality
is that there is a big machine
that has to be cut on for the
Democratic Party. The Democratic
Party cares about police. We can
show that. But we've got to get
this. I thought that was great.
Adam Curry: The Democratic
Party, they care about police,
we can show that. Yeah. By
defunding them right
Unknown: party cares about
police, we can show that. But
we've got to get this party to
pull it together. And if anybody
doubts Barack Obama, in
particular, his ability to get
some of the people back in this
party, you got men leaving this
party, you got young African
American leaving this party, he
can reach them, and we'll we'll
be out there a lot. I don't
think Barack Obama is going to
sit this out. I don't think by
the way, I think we have to
Obama's two Clintons and two
Biden's who are not going to sit
this out. I think you're gonna
see a full court press from the
Justice Party. I
Adam Curry: know when I first
heard it, I'm like, what, if we
got body doubles? I'm pretty
sure that talking about calorie
and Big Mike, I
Unknown: don't think by the way,
I think we have to Obama's to
Clintons. And to Biden's who are
not going to sit this out? I
think you're gonna see a full
court press from the top of this
party to the bottom. Because the
consequence of a Donald Trump
presidency partly catastrophic
in the minds of of Barack Obama
or Bill Clinton or anybody in
this party. It just can't be
allowed. And so, yes, it's
unusual. It was unusual time
that we're in. But anybody who
doubts Barack Obama's ability,
we all well, yeah, who cares?
No, no, Barack Obama can talk to
people who are leaving this
party and get them back. And
he's got six months to do it.
And he's going to play a
tremendous role.
Adam Curry: Okay, so how will
they be sent into the field? How
will you dispatch them outside
the Biden
John C Dvorak: Obama Clinton
event? Is the Biden campaign
planning more of these kind of
joint appearances ahead? Or is
it more likely the former
President Obama and Clinton will
be dispatched separately onto
the campaign trail? Well,
Unknown: certainly this is not
going to be the last that we see
of the two former presidents and
particularly, I think former
President Barack Obama, you
know, the president probably is
going to be hitting the trail a
lot more, especially as we get
more into the fall. Our
reporting is that he is likely
to visit college campuses, for
example, and also choose these
key cities in key battleground
states. With the goal of course
of helping to drive up
enthusiasm among younger voters,
as well as other key
demographics like black voters
and Latino voters. You know,
these are two men Anderson as
you know very well, who have
been friends and obviously went
through a lot together in
They're eight years together. So
you can imagine the time that
they spent together this time
around this afternoon, a couple
of hours, that they had a lot to
talk about. And we were told by
aides, that they were catching
up a lot and enjoying themselves
talking about a lot of the
professional things, but also
just their personal lives as
well.
Adam Curry: It was an
interesting trend on on a social
network Twitter in particular.
So they had video footage of
Obama and Biden coming out of
Air Force One on the on the tiny
stairs, of course, the the lower
deck. Excuse me. And and have
you seen the hold? Yes, yes.
Where they normally are as a
whole. Yeah, coming out of the
hold. And, you know, there's
something about Obama's leg or
something, but but the trend is,
what do you notice? Have you
seen this?
John C Dvorak: So the BA may
have, but I never could figure
out what to notice.
Adam Curry: I mean, either
meanie. So they had this video
and look at Obama, what do you
notice? And you know, and then
there's 500 comments if you
know, go he's got a he's got an
ankle bracelet. Oh, his leg is
the robot. That's like, I liked
that. This trend is annoying. I
know. I just skipped them.
Anyway, let's move over to Trump
for a moment because we need to
bash him appropriately,
particularly on the Jesus Super
Bowl Sunday. The rest of it
resurrection day we need to
complain about his religiosity.
And who better to do that then
joy Reid,
Unknown: I'm wondering what one
or two of your most favorite
Bible verses are.
I wouldn't want to get into it
because to me, that's very
personal. The Bible means a lot
to me, but I don't want to get
into specifics,
even to cite a verse they don't
like don't want to do that. Old
Testament, New Testament,
probably equal.
Adam Curry: Today, a medium
testament guy would answer
something trumping Old
Testament, New Testament,
probably equal.
Unknown: Today is Good Friday,
which if Donald Trump had ever
read or even briefly scan the
Bible, he might know. But if
you're a Christian believer, you
know that it marks the day Jesus
of Nazareth, a Palestinian
Jewish carpenter born in
poverty. Notice,
Adam Curry: notice what she says
I love it. Notice what she says
the palace
John C Dvorak: of Palestinian
Unknown: genius he might know.
But if you are a Christian
believer, you know that it marks
the day Jesus of Nazareth, a
Palestinian Jewish carpenter
born in poverty, as a displaced
refugee in his own land.
John C Dvorak: This is
phenomenal, even got to displace
refugee angle good and
Unknown: conquered by the Roman
Empire was crucified for the
crime defying the Roman Emperor
by worshipping the God of Israel
rather than the Emperor himself,
and invented crime for which he
was nailed to a cross and mocked
by Roman soldiers who affixed to
his head a crown of thorns and
labeled him King of the Jews, a
man who performed miracles for
the poor, the sick and the
hated, and to despite being the
son of the Divine died for the
sins of the masses. A man whose
entire ministry was about
serving the poor, the immigrant
and embracing the rejected. Oh,
man,
Adam Curry: she kind of makes
the whole tribulation there the
Passion of Christ, just kind of
take some shortcuts. It's a
little more than just that, but
okay, let's continue Joy read
and then there's Donald
Unknown: Trump. Oh, there we go.
A man born with a silver spoon
in his mouth, who has only ever
served himself into his running
for president again, to keep
himself out of prison. He has
also cast himself as a modern
day Jesus, oh, they're during
this most sacred week in the
Christian calendar? Well, to my
knowledge, Jesus, the Messiah
never paid off a porn star to
cover up committing adultery
while his third wife was
pregnant with his fifth child.
Jesus certainly wasn't Hawking
Bibles as part of a never ending
grift. But for the low, low
price of 5999, you could buy the
god bless the USA Bible, the
only Bible endorsed by Trump,
because to Donald Trump, a Bible
is no more sacred than a Trump
board game or Trump water. It's
just another cheap tchotchke to
sell to his followers as his
faith. It's just another thing
to sell to frightened white
evangelical Christians, to get
them to set aside what they know
about their faith and vote for
Trump anyway, to keep him out of
jail. Trump has turned them into
cult members shared his
persecution complex with them to
get them to believe he's
fighting a holy war for them.
But because he doesn't know
anything about the actual Jesus,
Donald Trump doesn't understand
that a real Messiah would never
say migrants are poisoning the
blood of our contract there
actually was, I was a stranger
and you welcomed me in before he
died. He said, Father forgive
them for they know not what they
do.
Adam Curry: That was That was
about the Romans, but okay, Joy
read you're the expert. And I
think he also I think he also
came
John C Dvorak: in and inked
ammonius or what is it? Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think that Jesus
also came in and tossed everyone
out of the temple and overturned
the tax tables and did some
other stuff you know there was
was quite a bit of violence
action there was action Yes,
that's the word I'm looking for
it one last clip here of joy I'm
enjoying you so much Miss Reed
have to
Unknown: turn to my my play
pastor my part time pastor,
Reverend Al Sharpton did my
theology did I get my theology?
Right? Oh, no, no.
Okay, good. Because I listen, I
listen to the fastest including
yourself. I my big brother let
my big brother because Trump is
not any it's not a Christian. I
mean, he's not a religious man
at all. He's never do you know
him. He's not religious.
No, I've never heard him even
discuss religion. That's no,
you're accused of it.
John C Dvorak: Aren't these the
same Democrats to do everything
they can to keep any mention of
religion or anything out of the
schools and taking any religious
note that that shows up as City
Hall and, and all your moan and
groan about it? So we have a guy
who's neutral on religion and
now it's bad. Or am I getting
this wrong?
Adam Curry: He's the Reverend
owl. He has credentials man. No,
Unknown: I've never heard him
even discuss religion. Let's no
be accused of it of attending
religious gatherings. Which is
why it is so insulting to me as
one who grew up in the church
and had been a preacher since I
was a boy. Oh,
Adam Curry: hold on a second. Is
Reverend owl forgetting his
background? Reverend owl, let
allow me to play a little clip
that reminds you of of your days
as a preacher as a boy.
Unknown: But even worse is Al
Sharpton, who's still hanging
around. This is a former former
backup dancer with James Brown,
who was a crack dealer. He was a
crack dealer. He was caught on
camera by the FBI dealing crack.
And they turned him into an
informant. So he'd still he's
certainly still on the FBI
payroll. He's no reverend.
Okay, insulting to me. I grew up
in the church, and I've been a
preacher since I was a boy, for
him to not only come with
selling Bibles, during Holy
Week, I mean, this is the week
that we that believe in Christ,
the real Christ, the real
Christ, take the Bible.
John C Dvorak: I should be
talking to him. I know. When you
sell Bibles during Holy Week, at
that time to sell him, that's
exactly getting a lot of logic
here.
Unknown: To take the Bible and
say that this is the only Bible
endorsed by Donald Trump. If you
believe that was the sacred word
of God, who are you? I endorse
the Word of God
and add to it and then there was
no Council of Nicaea that added
to the Bible, Donald Trump did
it he thinks he has the right to
do it.
Adam Curry: I had to order one.
You know that right? I had one I
ordered one, of course, is
dying. And by the way, there
John C Dvorak: are a bunch of
conflicting Bibles that are out
there available. Yeah, if you do
Bible research in any way,
shape, or form, especially
online, they'll list them all to
you and a lot of them are so
copyrighted, you can't do
anything. And they do and the
argument is made this is the
best Bible that's the best Bible
is nonsense. The king Jewish no
one Bible No,
Adam Curry: but he the Trump
Bible is the King James version.
So that would that would be
considered by most the OG.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Emphasizing
the word Oh, the old od newer.
The newer interpretations of the
Bible which have come out since
and are used by a lot of
scholars are far superior.
Adam Curry: Well, the here's
what bothers me. My grandmother,
whenever this is some curry
family, I don't think I've ever
told the story in the show. My
grandmother was a real a real,
real Jesus lover, and she had
her her King James Bible. And
whenever we would assemble for
Thanksgiving or something, you
know, Christmas or some other
stuff at Meade Road, which was,
you know, what we call the
homestead, up there in Armonk,
upon leaving the oldest
grandchild present, would read
Psalm 121, which he called the
going away prayer. And we would
always cringe because there was
lots of yeas and other stuff in
there. It was not it wasn't
English. And, you know, so it
starts with I lift up my eyes
and to the hills. And then I
look at the New King James or
the New International Version,
and it's like, yeah, I took a
glance over the mountains. It
doesn't it's not quite the same
thing. And then there's the
message. Bye bowl which is
written basically for truck
drivers. So there's a lot
there's a lot of different
versions. But I think if you're
Trump then yeah, you would you
would sell the the King James
Version.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Then when
it's in the public domain, you
can make the most money from
Adam Curry: this. Let's go back
to our
Unknown: governor. Let's start
with the fatal shooting of New
York City police officer
Jonathan Della. Now
Adam Curry: this is Kathy Hoko,
the governor of New York who was
kicked out of the ceremony they
asked her to leave. Trump was
there. All the cops are there.
Hoko shows up and they asked her
to leave
Unknown: was that in this
interview, which has dominated
the news and your state since
his death on Monday, FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP attended
the wake on Long Island
Thursday, yesterday, you went to
the Wake as well, and you met
with family members. The tragedy
obviously sparked a debate about
crime guns and criminal justice.
And many of us deplore the
shooting of policemen you've
been consistent with that. But
also consistent with everyone
must stay within the law. What
can you share about your
thoughts on these issues? As
Crime Statistics has gone down
in your state? For what do we
need to do more of? Well,
thank you, Reverend, for having
me back on the show and
yesterday. And today, the day of
the funeral. It's it's been a
heartbreaking experience for all
New Yorkers. We grieve with this
family, especially a young widow
who has a one year old son who
will be raised without his
father because of the horrific
acts by a brazen criminal. And I
went to the way to meet the
family and speak to everyone
from his wife and mother,
father, brothers, sisters,
everyone is just distraught. And
yes, there's a lot of anger,
understandably, there's anger,
about how these individuals who
commit crimes over and over are
back out on the streets again.
So that's one of the reasons we
worked hard with the legislature
last year to change the bail
laws. So the judges have more
discretion. And, you know,
there's a lot of complicated
factors here, but I totally
understand the outrage of the
family. I
do and we're working hard to
keep crime down.
Adam Curry: Lady lady lady lady
lady, I
John C Dvorak: love this
statistically it's down oh, by
having a gander report it it's
like the cops you know, it's
just it's, it's down for a
reason. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Because of
statistics. Yeah, lies damn
John C Dvorak: under report,
they've also changed as as of
2020, they changed the reporting
of, I would call them sheets or
forms or whatever it is
nationally. And so a lot of
stuff doesn't get filled out
anymore. There's, there's a lot
of reasons for these numbers
being bogus, but everyone knows
it's not true. I mean, just go
to San Francisco or even I went
to Oakland Chinatown the other
day, and it was like Oakland
Chinatown used to be a pretty
vibrant place half the places
boarded up.
Adam Curry: Here's, here's a new
trend of the Oso. Statistically
safe New York City.
Unknown: The NYPD is
investigating this incident and
several others like it, a woman
suddenly punched while walking
on a Brooklyn sidewalk seemingly
for no reason.
John C Dvorak: I literally just
got punched.
Unknown: In the last few weeks,
several young women have posted
on Tik Tok about getting
randomly punched on the streets
of New York City. Out of
nowhere,
this man just came up and hit me
in the face
tonight with those videos as
part of their investigation.
Police have made two arrests
including this man skip Boakye
store are charged with attacking
an influencer known as Halle
Kate whose video has been viewed
49 million times. Literally I
fell to the ground and now let's
try it because I guess for me
and I'm like a concussion. A
black eye
design student, Mikayla toninato
shared a similar experience. So
I
just got back from the emergency
room after getting punched in
the face
prosecutor said the man charged
with assaulting her left the 27
year old with a concussion and a
visible mark on her eye. Police
are investigating at least seven
random assaults where the victim
later posted on Tik Tok none is
believed to be related to
another tonight police are
looking for this man in
connection with the assault of a
25 year old woman in Times
Square who was slapped in the
forehead. And this man who
allegedly punched a 24 year old
woman in the head. While police
say these attacks are not part
of a pattern marry that doesn't
make them any less scary. Felony
assaults in the city are up
about 3% other statistics though
show the post pandemic violent
crime surge is continuing to
level off.
Adam Curry: Oh okay. That's
where the stats come from.
pattern. Now there's no pattern
here. There's nothing to see
here.
John C Dvorak: Nothing to see
here the punch in the face.
Adam Curry: Ah, in Brooklyn,
please. This unbelievable. Oh
goodness gracious.
John C Dvorak: I got some Okhla
reports. They got a way to fix
these things here. Oh, Um, I
guess some California stories
okay Jake normally don't do but
let's go with cameras everywhere
because that's gonna help.
Adam Curry: Oh yes, hundreds
Unknown: of new cameras
promising to help make Oakland
and the East Bay safer. Governor
Newsom announced today the
cameras will be placed on both
city streets and on state
highways. As our crime reporter
Henry Lee shows us how many
police departments already have
this system that this will be on
a larger and more regional
scale.
Governor Gavin Newsom says
hundreds of cameras that read
license plates will soon be in
place and across the East Bay,
which will aid and support the
efforts of law enforcement to
focus on stolen vehicles. The
governor made his announcement
in a video recorded along Hagen
Berger Road in East Oakland a
hotspot for burglaries the
camera system is from flux
safety and one that's already
used by many law enforcement
agencies. There's still photos
of the backs of cars and not
people or faces from their
police can track down specific
cars and potentially arrest
suspects. 290 cameras will be on
Oakland City streets under the
purview of Oakland police while
190 cameras will be set up on
state highways in the East Bay
and monitored by the CHP images
will be stored for 28 days. With
many officers barred from
chasing suspects and property
crimes. Supporters say these
cameras will allow the cops to
catch up to them later.
We also feel that big brother
isn't watching enough that you
know my big brothers, they
always looked out for me and I
think that the Ultimate Big
Brother is our local police
departments if they
can help address some of the
immediate public safety issues
room. Just one vehicles and that
kind of thing. You know,
hopefully, they'll have an
impact. Others aren't so sure
the biggest question is whose
rules are we playing by Brian
Hofer is chair of the city of
Oakland's privacy commission. He
questions whether the CHPs
privacy standards will be the
same as Oakland.
I know my opinion is in the
minority, that people are acting
based on fear and also an
unproven misguided belief that
these cameras are going to solve
all our problems.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. Do I
not recall story after story
about how this was a problem?
And no, you can't have this this
is illegal. And did they? Did
they change something somewhere
to the law
John C Dvorak: that you forget?
Oh, you know,
Adam Curry: can I just can just
listen to this. This is a clip
from 2023 about the think the
San Jose Police license plate
readers might just listen to
this for a second law
Unknown: enforcement and city
officials have had enough and
they believe perpetrators
shouldn't have a license to
steal. So answer technology. It
reads license plate numbers and
converts them to text format.
And if there's a match with a
plate from a wanted hotlist law
enforcement is alerted. Silicon
Valley's San Jose implemented
automatic license plate readers
ao PRs throughout the scale in
October, near tough spots like
intersections and malls.
Adam Curry: I thought it was a
big problem. I thought that the
there was legalities that had to
be overcome. And I guess that
just happened. Okay.
John C Dvorak: Did we probably
have older clips that get there
somewhere? Here's the second
part of this Oakland report.
James
Unknown: birch, the anti police
terror project says money could
be better spent elsewhere.
Instead
of these cameras, could we have
you know, professionals doing
their work in the community to
prevent violence? You know,
those are the costs that we're
seeing here on the streets in
the city of Oakland. It's
not clear where these cameras
might be set up. But we've
learned that the system could be
installed beginning in the next
30 days and be fully complete by
this fall in Oakland Henry Lee.
Adam Curry: Oh, so this is
great. So this is the the
security industrial complex
closing in on everybody. Your
pictures taken at the airport,
your pictures being taken on the
street, and in New York, they
now have a new way of doing stop
and frisk, Mayor Adams
Unknown: announced the start of
a pilot program with a high tech
body scanner that could help
keep people with guns out of the
subway the system manufactured
by evolve technology in
widespread use at amusement
parks and in at least 10
stadiums far less intrusive.
Yeah, that's private property
than airport security. This
system generates an invisible
electromagnetic field as you
walk through your body disturbs
that fear and the system is
designed to look specifically
for the distinct pattern of a
gun. In a demonstration, the
system detected the men with
concealed handguns, a computer
screen pinpointed exactly where
the guns could be found. Be
surprised
how many people will see that
machine and walk through
thinking that no one will pick
up their gun. We see it in our
hospitals, people walking in
with all sorts of weapons,
because they don't believe the
machine actually works. The NYPD
has not yet said how many they
will use it precisely where they
will be deployed. But we will
start seeing them in the subways
in early July. Yeah.
Adam Curry: It's less intrusive
than TSA. No they don't do with
that. Take your picture. What
are you Drink and I think I
heard something open up
John C Dvorak: polar seltzer. No
big deal. Okay.
Adam Curry: Now the big the big
fear, of course is, is none of
this. It's all cyber. It's all
cyber and we're all worried
about cyber. And we have the
Deputy Director for digital
innovation at the CIA, who, as
far as I know, the CIA, they're
not supposed to be operational
in the US, correct? No,
John C Dvorak: that's not true.
Which we've talked about. We've
talked about this I had in the
newsletter, Ronald Reagan lifted
those restrictions during his
era.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, that's
good to know they can do it they
want well, Juliana got Galena, I
think is her name. She appeared
on NBC Julianne
Unknown: galena is title may
sound bureaucratic
and a deputy director of the CIA
for digital innovation. But her
portfolio is broad and
essential. appointed in
February. She's in charge of the
CIA's efforts to detect and
protect against cyber threats
from abroad. Among her foremost
concerns, threats to US
elections, particularly Russia,
spreading false information,
creating doubt and swaying US
officials. And with China, she
sees efforts to influence us
opinion as the biggest threat.
If
you're changing the lines of a
group of people or many people.
That's hard to do. It's hard to
even know what the source was or
how it happened, including
on social media, or you're on
Tik Tok? No, neither are her
kids or her parents. She says I
tell them don't touch it. Tick
tock denies being owned by the
Chinese government. But back at
CIA headquarters, her biggest
concern might surprise you.
Honestly,
the thing that concerns me the
most is worrying that maybe
someone in my enterprise still
has password 123 as the
password. It's, you know, in
other words, basic cyber
hygiene,
Adam Curry: cyber hygiene. I
like that. How's your cyber
hygiene? cyber
John C Dvorak: hygiene? Why
isn't she on tick? Tock? Isn't
she supposed to be checking this
stuff out to make sure we're not
getting screwed? You know, the
CIA should be sending us
donations? Because this is what
we do.
Adam Curry: I have a multi part
breakdown of the 60 minutes.
Special Special, which is that
oh, it's about tick tock and
fake videos and AI. Yeah, you
want to hear some of this? This
is I'd love it. You'd like to
pain as big
Unknown: tech firms wrestle with
how to keep false and harmful
information off their social
network. Wait
John C Dvorak: a minute, hold on
a second. Is this lesley stahl
interviewing the Biden stooge,
who's presenting herself as a
fact checker?
Adam Curry: I see is that Kate
starb? I think yeah,
John C Dvorak: she's never she
works with the Biden
administration. But she's got
set up shop as a fact checker.
Yes, it makes sure that the
Biden stuff doesn't get you
know, he doesn't get because
that's
Adam Curry: really that's the
truth. Yeah, of course, true.
Truth.
Unknown: The Supreme Court is
wrestling with whether platforms
like Facebook and Twitter now
called X have the right to
decide what users can say on
their sites. The dispute centers
on a pair of laws passed in the
red states of Florida and Texas,
over the question of First
Amendment rights on the
internet. The Supreme Court is
considering whether the
platforms are like newspapers,
which have free speech rights to
make their own editorial
decisions. Or if they're more
like telephone companies that
merely transmit every one
speech. Wow,
Adam Curry: that's a that's a
very, very simplified version of
John C Dvorak: the issue.
Terrible analogy it really
terrible.
Unknown: It really is.
If the laws are upheld, the
platform's could be forced to
carry hate speech or false
medical information.
Adam Curry: You will carry wars
you will carry the hate
Unknown: speech. The very most
big tech companies have spent
years trying to remove through
teams of content moderators. But
in the process, conservatives
claim that the companies have
engaged in a conspiracy to
suppress their speech.
Adam Curry: Ah, yes, yes. By the
way, did you make the basket
sounds like you hit it.
John C Dvorak: I have used to
have a giant pile of cans in
this studio. Yes, we missed the
which I've removed but
unfortunately another pile has
been forming and I tossed that
can pile
Adam Curry: so you literally
have a pile on the floor of
cans. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: yeah. Because
this makes a great scientific.
Just Just Just listen.
Adam Curry: You are a unique
man, Chelsea Dvorak, very
unique, almost as unique as Kate
Starr Word,
Unknown: a new target is
misinformation, academic
researchers. This
Adam Curry: is this is something
we could get into exit strategy,
who began
Unknown: working closely with
the platforms after evidence of
Russian interference online in
the 2016 election evidence? are
researchers being killed?
Absolutely. And hate starboard
is a professor at the University
of Washington, a former
professional basketball player
and a leader of a misinformation
research group created ahead of
the 2020 election
John C Dvorak: yeah Biden yes of
course and and she's a former
basketball matches is this
report is CBS report is classic.
Nowadays kind of reporting where
they just leave stuff out it
screw you the public, would you
call the 60 minutes is just
falling off the off the ship?
Would you call
Adam Curry: that mal
information, misinformation or
from nationally? Yes,
Unknown: we were very
specifically looking at
misinformation about election
processes, procedures and
election results. And if we saw
something about that, we would
pass it along to the platforms
if we thought it violated their
one of their policies.
Here's an example, a November
2020 tweet, saying that election
software in Michigan switched
6000 votes from Trump to Biden,
the researchers alerted Twitter
that then decided to label it
with a warning. I understand
that some of the researchers
including you have had some
threats against them. Yes,
right.
I have received one. Sometimes
they're threatening behind them.
And sometimes they're just there
to make you nervous and
uncomfortable. And it's hard to
know the difference
Adam Curry: I love just jumps
from, well, you know, the votes
change, but you've had threats
against you. I mean, this is
this is this is not even
journalism anymore. It's really
bad. And, by the way, we all
know who really is behind all
the disinformation.
Unknown: Did your research find
that there was more
misinformation spread by
conservatives? Absolutely.
I think not just our research
research across the board,
looking at the 2020 election
Adam Curry: about safe and
effective lady found
Unknown: that there was more
misinformation spread by people
that were supporters of Donald
Trump or conservatives. And the
events of January sixth, kind of
underscore this. Is folks
climbing up the Capitol building
were supporters of Donald Trump
and they were they were
misinformed by these false
claims and that motivated those
actions.
Oh, did
Adam Curry: that come out of the
January 6 Commission? That's
what it was. I thought it was
Donald Trump's fault.
John C Dvorak: She's saying
specifically with the false
claims. Does she say? No, of
Adam Curry: course not. Now,
let's get a let's get the other
side of the story. Let's go to
Jim Jordan. The Republican Ohio
Republican
Unknown: Congressman Jim Jordan
is Chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee. So how big
a problem is mis and
disinformation on the web?
Well, I'm sure there's some but
I think you know, our concern is
the bigger problem of the
the attack on First Amendment
liberties.
Congressman Jordan's Judiciary
Committee First Amendment
Adam Curry: liberties. That's an
interesting way to put it. Do I
like that first amendment
liberty, you
John C Dvorak: can be sure that
this has been chopped up off
Unknown: the attack on First
Amendment liberties?
Congressman Jordan's Judiciary
Committee produced a report that
concluded there's a censorship
industrial complex Oh, no, we're
the federal government and tech
companies colluded with academic
researchers to
disproportionately silence
conservatives, which Kate
starboard vigorously denies. Oh,
but Congressman Jordan says her
group unfairly flagged posts
like this tweet by Newt
Gingrich, Pennsylvania,
Democrats are methodically
changing the rules so they can
steal the election. He complains
that government officials put
pressure on social media
companies directly.
A great example 36 hours into
the Biden administration, the
Biden White House, sins a email
to Twitter and says, We think
you should take down this tweet
a s a p, just
a call a loan from the
government, he says can be
unnerving.
You can't have the government
say, hey, we want you to do X
government who has the ability
to regulate these private
companies governments has the
ability to tax these private
companies.
He says that White House email
to Twitter involved a tweet from
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and
everything in the tweet was
true. That
tweet implied falsely that
baseball legend Hank Aaron's
death was caused by the COVID
vaccine
did they take turns out they did
it? Thank goodness and that
post is still up.
Adam Curry: Well, that must must
be true. then,
John C Dvorak: oh my god, it's
still up. She decries
Adam Curry: we need something
just as equally outrageous on
the other side that hurt the
Democrats, Katie
Unknown: Harbeth spent a decade
at Facebook, where she helped
develop its policies around
election misinformation. When
she was there, she says it was
not unusual for the government
to ask Facebook to remove
content, which is proper. As
long as the government is not
coercing
conservatives are alleging that
the platforms were taking down
content at the behest of the
government. If it were true. The
platform's made their own
decisions.
Adam Curry: Okay. What kind of
decisions? What example Do
Unknown: you have? And many
times we were pushing back on
the government?
Can we talk about a specific
case? Oh, which
Adam Curry: one? Do you think
they have, John?
John C Dvorak: I'm sure it's a
whopper.
Unknown: It's of Nancy Pelosi.
It's a doctored tape, where
she's, she looks drunk.
Why he did this president. The
opportunity is a great one to
something has started.
This was the video of then how
Speaker Pelosi posted to
Facebook in 2019. Slow down to
make it seem that she was
slurring her words. Do
Adam Curry: these people have no
humor? Do they understand? This
was a joke? No, no,
John C Dvorak: they actually
have no humor. It's the most
amazing thing I've ever seen
come down.
Unknown: It did not lie. Because
it didn't violate the policy.
Why?
Adam Curry: Why? Why did they
not take it? Why? Why is
disinformation? Why she's never
drunk.
Unknown: Did it come down? It
did not lie, because it didn't
violate the policies that they
had. So did
she put pressure on the company
to take it down? She
was definitely not pleased. She
definitely. Yes. And it really
damaged the relationship that
the company had with her.
Adam Curry: Oh, it damaged the
relationship. No, like she
cared. She was too busy buying
stocks. She got no seats. I
don't care but we don't care
what you think of me Twitter.
I'm too busy buying stocks with
my inside information. Okay, so
now we just almost done here we
get to the Supreme Court and a
lot of this is now in the court.
The Conservatives
Unknown: campaign faced a
setback at the Supreme Court on
Monday, when a majority of the
justices seemed poised to reject
their effort to limit attempts
by the government to influence
social media. The court is
deciding in separate cases,
whether the platform's are like
news organizations with a First
Amendment right to control who
and what information appears on
their sites.
Adam Curry: That's gonna be so
interesting. What comes out of
that. Let's wrap this up with
some accusations Darryl West,
Unknown: a Senior Fellow of
technology innovation at the
Brookings Institution okay says
the clash over what is true is
fraying our institutions and
threatening democracies around
the world. Half
Adam Curry: of gold is voting
this year, and the world could
stick with democracy or move
towards authoritarianism. Well,
we all know we want we all want
authoritarianism, half the world
is voting this
John C Dvorak: voting and
they're voting for
authoritarian. How do you do
that? By the way, you have
systems in place.
Adam Curry: This is a great this
is good. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Authoritarian
place. Yeah. And you can't it's
not like these kind of lame
democracies that come late in
the game, and then they vote,
you know, a Sharia government in
place and they just they just
dissolve everything. You can't
there's not no mechanism. There
is no mechanism in this country
to do that. accuracies
Adam Curry: around the world.
Half of the world is voting this
year, and the world could stick
with democracy or move towards
authoritarianism. The danger is
disinformation could decide the
elections in a number of
different countries.
Unknown: In the US, he says the
right wing has been flooding the
internet with reams of
misleading information in order
to confuse the public why, why
he's alarmed by the campaign to
silence the academic researchers
who have had to spend money and
time on demands from Jim
Jordan's Judiciary Committee.
I wonder if it is a way to
measure the shifting meaning of
misinformation starboard says
she and her team feel
intimidated by the Conservatives
campaign. So while they will
continue releasing their
research reports on
misinformation, they will no
longer send their findings to
the social media platforms at
that
Adam Curry: point. Oh, good. Are
you then
John C Dvorak: they have to pull
back because it's a Biden up.
Yeah, it's I want to mention it
In passing, which I don't have
any clips thrown I'm I should
have gotten some. I guess
they're doing their their you're
unleashing the AI on medical
research. Yes. You heard this
too. Yes, yes, you have a claim
they're turning. It turns out
that most of the medical
research that we've been
inundated with bogus is totally
bogus. Well, I
Adam Curry: don't need AI to
deconstruct this particular
information that came out more
Unknown: proof this morning that
eggs have been getting a bad
rap. A new study shows it's okay
to eat an entire dozen on a
weekly basis researchers they
eating 12 fortified eggs per
week had no adverse impact on
good or bad cholesterol level
people
Adam Curry: over hold on hold
on. We'll get we'll get there
we'll get there. Well, don't
worry, I'm going to promote the
book Don't worry, I had
Unknown: no adverse impact on
good or bad cholesterol levels
and people over the age of 50
and the first signs of potential
benefits for seniors who ate
eggs each day such as improved
cholesterol and insulin
resistance scores. But experts
say more research is needed so
talk to your own doctor before
you make any changes to your
diet. So I really
John C Dvorak: every time I make
a change in my diet I want to
eat a new fruit I have to call
the doctor they want to answer I
Adam Curry: love these types of
news reports because it's
blanketed all over the place and
of course with our no agenda
research hat on we go to look at
the study.
John C Dvorak: Diane before you
do that, did you notice that she
dropped into Word fortified?
Adam Curry: No, I didn't. Yes,
John C Dvorak: just start the
clip over. Why does it have to
be what's wrong with a natural
egg more proof
Unknown: this morning that eggs
have been getting a bad rap a
new study shows it's okay to eat
an entire dozen on a weekly
basis researchers they eating 12
fortified eggs per week
Adam Curry: for what is a
fortified egg.
John C Dvorak: Me sir feeding
the chickens hormones are some
damn thing Who knows.
Adam Curry: So I go to look at
this study and I didn't need a I
just go to the study its
prospective evaluation of
fortified eggs related to
improvement in the biomarker
profile for your health. And all
you have to do is go to the lead
researcher Neha J. pug de potty
MD F ACC and look at the
disclosures. By the way, except
for three every single
researcher is a consultant for
Big Pharma but the lead
researcher states research and
research grants provided by egg
glands best which is a fortified
egg. Yes. And and I don't have
to tell you who's paying for the
website egg glands best do I
know this is the fortified egg
lobby. Yeah, and everyone just
reports it Oh yeah. Oh, this is
great news. Remember blue jeans
you're gonna get cancer blue
jeans, no cancer beef. You're
gonna die your audio is gonna
get
John C Dvorak: cast iron
skillets it's gonna give you a
heart attack you're gonna
Adam Curry: kill Yeah.
Meanwhile, everybody listen to
the sound of my voice knows that
you need to go to too many
eggs.com the end and don't get
the fortified version. Get the
regular the regular version of
book just a regular bunch
John C Dvorak: of free PDF.
That's really aggressive. That's
right. But the book
Adam Curry: itself is a is a
work of art. It is a work of
art. It is well worth the the
$800 for the book.
John C Dvorak: That's the ABC
box.
Adam Curry: May 5, I'm told may
5 Is the ABC book. Oh, I'm so
excited.
John C Dvorak: So shall we go
back to San Francisco for a
minute. Oh, goodness. Okay.
Although we haven't left that we
were in Oakland. Yeah, we were
just a day in the life of San
Francisco. Okay, I got three
different stories here.
Adam Curry: Oh, is it is it as
fun and safe statistically as
New York City. Oh,
John C Dvorak: probably better
everything. Crime has gone down.
Here's here's San Francisco
normal arrests.
Unknown: San Francisco. Police
say they arrested dozens of
wanted fugitives in a sweep in
the Tenderloin this week.
Officers say they arrested 54
people on Wednesday and seized
600 grams in our conics during
the multi agency operation. 34
of those arrested had
outstanding warrants.
Authorities with other city
agencies also towed cars and
impounded illegal food vending
carts. Please say these
operations will continue for the
foreseeable future around you
and Plaza and other areas.
Adam Curry: He legal food
vending carts. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: there was some
bad cookstove and so they stole
it. Hey,
Adam Curry: so yeah, they
John C Dvorak: did that. Here's
a here's a good one too. There's
no San Francisco story normal.
This is I put his San Francisco
normal Bart shooting at
Unknown: San Francisco Police
are still searching for more
people who may have been
involved in a deadly shooting at
the Powell Street BART station.
It happened around 930 Last
night at Halle Plaza. People
police found one person sent who
had been shot? They were
declared dead at the scene. The
victim's name has not been
released.
Adam Curry: Hold on a second.
Unknown: Let me hear that again.
People police found one person
who had been shot. They were
declared dead at the scene.
Adam Curry: Was this a trans
person? She's using the day then
pronoun on a one a single
person.
John C Dvorak: That's
interesting. I caught it right
that I missed it.
Adam Curry: So they knew
something. They're not reporting
Unknown: people. Police found
one person who had been shot.
They were declared dead at the
scene. The victim's name has not
been released. Please tell us
they located a gun but no
arrests have been made.
John C Dvorak: Okay. That's
pretty standard as that happens.
If anybody out there wants a
vacation in San Francisco, I'd
advise against it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, certainly
don't leave anything in your
car.
John C Dvorak: And here's the
thing. Yeah, for sure. And you
can you imagine the pain in the
ass it must be to have a rental
you go to San Francisco, you
just park it and it gets busted.
Did they bust the Windows on it
and you got to take the car
back? There goes your vacation
it takes must take forever to do
the paperwork.
Adam Curry: Well, first of all,
since when are we considering
San Francisco vacation
destination? It's a one way
ticket to hell, my friend.
John C Dvorak: Here's the last
San Francisco normal Yendor loin
clip. For
Unknown: the first time we are
hearing from the plaintiffs
behind a lawsuit aimed at the
city of San Francisco over
conditions in the Tenderloin
district is KPBS Christian
Captain shows us these residents
say they want the city to take
decisive action to put an end to
open air drug markets and
homeless encampments.
Conditions in San Francisco's
tenderloin are the ongoing
center of debate and now the
center of a lawsuit filed last
week. Residents and hotels in
the area say the city hasn't
done enough to improve street
conditions and filed a suit in
federal court saying while they
pay their taxes, they don't get
the same services that other
city residents receive. Several
of the residents chose to remain
anonymous, but are speaking out
now for the first time about
what it's like living in the
Tenderloin.
It is dangerous to come outside.
I work three days a week. I have
to walk two blocks up where
there's drug drugs going around
in drug dealers.
This resident is raising two
children in the tenderloin and
says it's not fair that they
have to live in a dangerous
neighborhood.
All I'm asking for is just one
thing security.
The attorney representing the
plaintiff says the city has
allowed the tenderloin to sink
into chaos. And it's
a little bit more than that
because there's evidence that
the city has treated this
neighborhood as the Containment
Zone. This is where the city has
directed this activity with the
hope apparently, if we can
contain it to the terminal line,
then
maybe it won't spread to other
neighborhoods. Oh
Adam Curry: my goodness. I mean,
I
John C Dvorak: believe this to
be true. Oh, it
Adam Curry: sounds totally
believable. But the tenderloin
that used to be hip.
John C Dvorak: No. to tender was
never He was always a hellhole.
And I was a little kid. I
remember going through it with
my dad and he's telling me this
is the bad part of town it was
always the bad part of town
still the bad part
Adam Curry: was your dad drunk
driving you through there it was
gonna drop you off with you.
Sometimes
John C Dvorak: you got to go
through the tenderloin you get
from point A to point B. But the
but the idea that they've made
it this way on purpose sounds I
never considered but then I
think of the of the concept of
Hamsterdam in the TV series The
Wire. Yeah. And I think yeah,
that's exactly what they're
doing.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And then and
then once it's totally devolved
into crap, then they'll toss
everybody out, raise it, as in
Arese. E and the stadium.
John C Dvorak: They need a new
stadium. But I don't think
they're going to I don't know
this has been going on too long.
I don't I think they're just
going to leave it as Hamsterdam.
Adam Curry: I want to play a
couple of clips from the Big
Pharma from the medical.
Everything's an industrial
complex. So it's the medical
industrial complex. This is what
your algos will tell you to be
very afraid of.
Unknown: And the CDC is warning
that monkey pox is on the rise
and yet in the US cases are
nearly double what they were at
this time last year. It spreads
via skin to skin contact with
symptoms like smallpox, but
milder now the CDC says anyone
with a high risk of infection
should get vaccinated
Adam Curry: to quote a trend.
What do you notice in that clip?
John C Dvorak: The vaccinated
know
Adam Curry: what's different?
What's different from the
previous reporting on monkey
pox?
John C Dvorak: Here is skin to
skin contact. Yes,
Adam Curry: it used to be men
who have sex with men.
John C Dvorak: Yes, now we're
correct
Adam Curry: skin to skin
contact. Let's complain a bit
about the price of ozempic.
Tonight
Unknown: a new study is raising
questions about the high cost of
the diabetes drug ozempic and
similar drugs now being used by
millions of people for weight
loss. drugmaker Novo Nordisk
charging nearly $1,000 a month
for inject Since before
insurance, researchers from Yale
King's College Hospital in
London and Doctors Without
Borders claim that it can be
made for less than $5. The study
does not account for labor
costs, tariffs and legal fees.
The company says it spent almost
$5 billion on research and
development
John C Dvorak: and advertising.
They mentioned that cost of
advertising they put into that
thing that which adds to the
bottom line. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it was half a
billion dollars last year alone.
So on that tip, there's me see,
there's a news that there are
natural alternatives to ozempic
to weight loss drugs ozempic and
gum. Well, we know that it's
Slenderman slender mint.com. But
there are a team of computer
scientists here we go is
planning to announce the
identification of two
potentially viable natural
alternatives to weight loss
drugs ozempic And will go be
made from naturally occurring
compounds currently identified
as compound a and compound B,
the mystery extracts, which are
identified using the latest
artificial intelligence tools,
well get ready will remain
secret until the researchers
obtain patents of their
formulations.
John C Dvorak: There goes the
price. Yeah, exactly.
Adam Curry: It's, it's, it's so
sick. One more warning from the
CDC get bought watch your kids.
Unknown: And now to an alert
from the CDC a rare type of
bacterial illness that can cause
meningitis is increasing 422
cases were reported last year
the most since 2014. One strain
proving to be more deadly than
usual, with one in six people
dying. Most of the victims are
middle aged adults, the federal
agency encouraging those
eligible to stay up to date on
their vaccines,
Adam Curry: vaccines, the
meningitis vaccine, is there a
vaccine for men and I believe, I
believe there to be just
everything's like stay up to
date and our vaccine better just
get your vaccine. Oh, the monkey
pox skin to skin used to be men
who have sex with men, but no,
now it's just skin to skin. And
then what I thought was the
funniest. The funniest report
from Kenya. And this started in
2018. We had a we, we I think we
did something on the show. Do
you remember that they were
doing they were detecting TB,
tuberculosis with sound
analysis.
John C Dvorak: And they would
they would actually don't
remember that they
Adam Curry: will analyze your
cough. And then based upon your
cough up, you got tuberculosis,
but they couldn't really get it
above 70% accuracy. So now we've
decided, well, let's just let's
just give the Kenyan some
tuberculosis and let's build our
app down. They're developing
Unknown: an app that could
detect tuberculosis and other
respiratory diseases. That's the
challenge set by this team at
the Kenya Medical Research
Institute. In this room, they
record the cost of both sick and
healthy people. The aim is to
create a software that can
analyze the noises and diagnose
whether the person has the
disease.
It's a very convenient
technology new technology. The
trials
have been funded by the National
Institutes of Health in the USA,
but have not yet received
regulatory approval for Dr. And
dooba. The Project Lead
Researcher this offer could help
that's
Adam Curry: what I like about
the report that keep having this
lady who's testing cough into a
Yeti Blue my curb
Unknown: the spread of
tuberculosis by cutting down the
diagnosis timing from two to
three months to a few minutes.
The biggest achievement
is reduced time to diagnosis. So
for the moment they get a cough.
If you can just expose them to
the software and determine this
STB would reduce TB transmission
in the community. And a lot of
TB is due to transmission. The
software
has not yet met World Health
Organization detection accuracy
standards, the app must have a
TB diagnosis accuracy of at
least 90% and at least 80% in
detecting the absence of
infection. At present, the rate
is 10% lower in both categories,
but gives researchers a lot of
hope.
John C Dvorak: Yes, if you want
to cough listen to that report.
I
Adam Curry: just love the report
and I didn't know the World
Health Organization had
standards for cough analysis. I
mean, it's gonna give me a
little bit you're gonna go on
the airplane Okay. Cough All
right. Let me take a picture
walk through this body scanner.
Why fly at all? Why even? Why
even while yes, I know this is
this is the conclusion you've
come to as a wise man. You've
John C Dvorak: used another one
comes along those lines. Why
travel at all? Here's the Texas
Boeing subcontractor clip. Oh,
yeah.
Adam Curry: This is another
interesting story.
Unknown: The Texas Attorney
General is is investigating a
key Boeing Supplier that's
already under scrutiny by
federal regulators over the
quality of its work on Boeing
planes. Ken Paxton says he's
looking into spirit Aerosystems
because of what he says are
apparent manufacturing defects
that lead to numerous concerning
or dangerous incidents. A
spokesman says spirit
Aerosystems doesn't comment on
investigations. PacSun wants the
company to turn over more than
two years worth of documents
about flaws in manufacturing,
and also about the company's
effort to create a diverse
workforce.
Adam Curry: Good to know okay,
well, they
John C Dvorak: got a diverse
workforce in there, so I don't
know why they slipped that in.
Well, I guess they weren't doing
enough because it sounds like
they weren't doing enough about
diversity but Oh, that'll fix
I've been in a spectrum and
industrial situation. Once when
products come into debt or
subcontracted out they have to
be re inspected by the company
that receives it that's the rest
where the responsibility begins
and ends and there's also
something called final
inspection on all these
operations and they that's where
the where the real rubber hits
the road this is bullcrap
blaming some subcontractor
doesn't have enough diversity
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm with you.
I'm with I mean what can you say
that's that's the news is just
filled with this. Why don't we
even even watching news anymore
and reporting on it? We should
just fold it all up. It's all
the same. It's all lies. It's
lies. Lies lies I tell you.
Let's get into it. Now if there
was something that happened on
on the social meds on social
media well first No, yeah. Med
Yeah, that's why I call it a
soft drink. Yes, social net. Ah,
now in small cans. This I don't
know if you saw this. It was BBC
BBC hard hard took her talk.
Stephen Sackur
John C Dvorak: at No worry,
worry that I have that same
clip. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And yeah, but I have
the whole pipe the whole thing.
It's a little, it's a little
more to it. And I just I have
some commentary about this. So
everyone's
John C Dvorak: by the way,
Steven is a dick. And the Hard
Talk has been like this forever.
This way. They just they just
think is so cool to be with a
British accent to just grill
somebody unnecessarily and not
let you know and have this. It's
a terribly hard talk. 16 years
ago, he started this show, I
used to watch it because a
different guy. But ever since
the Steven Sackler guy, or
whatever his name is, came on it
and the arrogance and
condescension of his style. It's
it's shows unwatchable, and the
BBC should take it off the air.
Well, it was
Adam Curry: doubly disgusting
because the whatever one, the
clip that went viral, and we're
like, yeah, you stick it to the
BBC man. You tell him Yeah, you
tell him. But meanwhile, this
was an entire net zero
promotion, complete. Acceptance,
that co2 is killing us. And the
President of Guiana did not push
back on the bogus climate change
charges. No, he's all in on it.
This was a promotion of global
warming. And everybody fell for
like, yeah, man, you tell him
carbon sink.
Unknown: We have to be very
careful about this climate
change stuff. This is this is
the stuff while we're looking at
Trump and Biden and, and the
algos. It's the climate change.
This is how they're going to
lock you down. Welcome to Hard
Talk. I'm Steven Sacca. And
today I am in Guyana, South
America, a country of some
800,000 people which right now
can claim to have the fastest
growing economy in the world The
reason oil vast reserves of the
stuff located offshore. My guest
today is Guyana is President
Irfan Ali, his country's new
found oil riches, Stokes
tensions with neighboring
Venezuela, they've also raised
questions about this country's
vulnerability to climate change.
So is oil, really a blessing or
a curse? All right, so now we
get into the thing that most
people saw. Let's take a big
picture. Look at what's going on
here. Over the next decade, two
decades, it is expected that
there will be $150 billion worth
of oil and gas extracted off
your coast. It's an
extraordinary figure. But think
of it in practical terms. That
means according to many experts,
more than 2 billion tons have
carbon emissions will come from
your seabed from those reserves
and be released into the
atmosphere. I don't know if you
as a head of state went to the
cop level in Dubai right
here, let me stop your idea. Do
you know that Guyana has a
forests forever? That is the
size of England and Scotland
combined. A forest store is 19.5
gigatons of carbon, a forest
that we have kept alive, a
forest that we have kept, give
you the right, does that give
you the right to release all of
this carbon? Does
that give you the right to
lecture us on climate change? I
am going to lecture you on
climate change. Because we have
kept this forest alive. The
story is 19.5 gigatons of carbon
that you enjoy that the world
enjoy that you don't pay us for
that you don't value that you
don't see a value in that the
people of Ghana has kept alive.
Guess what, we have the lowest
deforestation rate in the world.
And guess what, even with our
greatest exploration of the oil
and gas resource we have now we
will still be net zero Guyana
will still be net zero.
So he's right there with net
zero which means carbon credits
because that's how you get to
net zero. He says carbon but he
really means carbon dioxide
because that's just become the
thing that oh, it's carbon it's
just crap. No, it's carbon
dioxide and it goes downhill
from there. The Center for
International Environmental Law
has described the oil and gas
production in Guyana as turning
your country from as you rightly
put it a carbon sink into a
potential quote carbon bomb. Now
you may say you have every right
I mean, come on. This thing is a
is a climate change promotion,
climate carbon bomb, give me a
break Yeah, 10 carbon bomb. Now
you may say you have every right
that to exploit that that or
that
particular us. We even with our
even with exploring and
production of all our resources,
we are going to still be carbon
neutral, we are still going to
be carbon, you let
me quote to you Greenpeace who
say quite simply to avoid the
worst impacts of climate change.
And you know that your own
country is one of the most
vulnerable to climate change,
because most of your most of
your population lives
below. We have paid Guess what?
Guess what? We
Adam Curry: don't now this is
interesting. So this guy, not
only is y'all actually really on
and net zero, but now he's
reminded that his country, most
of his country lives below sea
level. But he's all in on sea
level rise, of course, because
you know, that's what Obama
knows with his house on the
coast relation live hand alone.
Unknown: We have paid guess
what, guess what we have paid
for the mitigation. We have paid
for it up adaptation. We are the
ones who have to find whether to
No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm
telling you what Greenpeace
says. But let me tell real
peace, say we need to keep the
majority of the world's
remaining fossil fuels in the
ground
running. Please consider out
doing that Greenpeace. And you
can say that, but we need to get
resources and the developing
world, we need to get resources
to build the sea defences, we
need to get sea defences to
build a drainage and irrigation
system. You just said that we
are six feet below sea level,
who is going to pay for the
infrastructure? Who is going to
pay for the drainage and
irrigation? Who is going to pay
for the development and
advancement of our country? Are
you going to pay it's not coming
from anywhere? It's not going
from Greenpeace or anyone else?
So he's admitting we got to pump
the water out, man, when the sea
level rises when people start to
drown? You're not gonna pay for
that Hard Talk, man. No, we're
gonna pay for it with our
carbon. Isn't there a cynicism
here in Georgetown, best
expressed by your vice president
who said recently, because there
is this climate change
imperative to decarbonize our
policy is to get as much oil out
of the ground as quickly as
possible. Now, he said, That's
harsh for those who think that
you should be environmentally
sound. But that is the reality
of it. Those were very honest
words from your vice Prez, and
that is what we are honest, we
are practical. So you're
reaching
out before any deals done, to
quote you by cop to transition
away from oil and
you can say we are rushing, but
we are very practical. We have
this natural resource. And we
are going to aggressively pursue
this natural resource because we
have to develop our country. We
are committed to development of
this region, we have to create
opportunities for our people
because no one is bringing that
for us. You you no one is
bringing that for us. No one is
paying our agenda.
Adam Curry: So while everyone
thinks this is a big win, it's
not the guys all in his vice
presidents all in and they're
just they have a different
solution. Let's do a quick
John C Dvorak: I liked the
analysis. I'm gonna give you a
clip of the day all that is very
kind of you verbal because
you're right. Everyone just
played the funny part. I had the
clips isolated because not
because of the analysis because
it was humorous. Yes. Because it
was told and but you're
absolutely correct. The whole
thing is it could it might as
well have been scripted. Yep.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Why else is that
guy? They're hard talk, man.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Why do you
go to Guiana? From UK? That
seems like a kind of out of the
way trip.
Adam Curry: I hear Guianas
beautiful
John C Dvorak: this time of
year. Probably is probably a
great time to take a couple
weeks off it is to Yeah, it has
to be.
Adam Curry: Anyway, so we do a
little update on the other war
that we stopped caring about,
you know, the war that killed 10
times the amount of people in
Ukraine.
John C Dvorak: What war is this?
Well, it's
Adam Curry: the Russia Ukraine
war, the full scale invasion
that's still going on yet but
people don't care about that
anymore. 400,000 Ukrainian men
have died. But Palestine but you
have a clip? No, I have a couple
of clips. Here's the Lenski on
CBS. I
Unknown: increase the production
of a major bomb bombed out
building in eastern Ukraine.
President Solinsky seemed upbeat
despite recent set up the
battlefield. But one thing that
strikes me is your defiant
still. You seem more frustrated
than optimistic now. No, no,
Adam Curry: I got that wrong.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Still
optimistic? No, no, I'm I'm I'm
normally I'm optimistic because
normally, this is only one plan
how to survive. That
Unknown: plan for survival
relies on us support, which has
helped keep Russian forces at
bay in recent months.
Those are Escalade. It was very
hard. And I'm solid. Thank God,
our partners, including the US
and the European air defense
missiles relief through the
winter.
I understand that. But Americans
will think we have spent 10s of
billions of dollars supporting
Ukraine
Adam Curry: back then was not
10s of billion How about
hundreds of billions was this
10s of billions all of a sudden
Unknown: billions of dollars
supporting Ukraine
back then was not it would not
be right to say we just need to
know the year $2.3 billion will
not that doesn't work like that.
Needs to be recorded. Don't
ammunition is coming to us needs
to get its production take place
in the US in Padang stay in the
US stock and Texas sustained in
the US.
Adam Curry: Oh, he's he's
parroting the old trope of hey,
you're not spending money on
Ukraine. You're spending it on
bombs that are made in the US
and stays in the US is good for
America. Give me some credit
man.
Unknown: We joined him as he
inspected vast newly built
underground bunkers just a few
miles from the Russian border.
They're also bracing for Russian
retaliation after President
Putin accused Ukraine of
supporting the ISIS terror
attack near Moscow last week.
Allegations Solinsky dismissed
as ridiculous. But that doesn't
stop Putin from attack.
Because that's what they want to
tell you yet. He doesn't care
what the reason is for this
Adam Curry: guy, he doesn't
care. He doesn't care. He
doesn't care. doesn't care. So
then we have some anti Russia
anti Putin information, which is
coming from Fox News. Run by the
Democrat Party staffed by
Nimrod's and this is a good one.
There were
Unknown: four suspects who went
to court on Sunday, and they
didn't look very good. Did they
know I mean, about six hours
after the attack, the Russian
military, arrested and captured
these four people. They were
driving west of Moscow, and they
were pulled out of their car and
there are videos online showing,
frankly, some brutal torture.
There's one in which a Russian
soldier cuts off the air of one
of them and makes him eat his
own ear. There.
Adam Curry: Wow. I didn't see
that video. Is that on telegram?
John C Dvorak: I didn't see it
either. I guess somebody must
have seen it. Because that's the
way the Russians operate.
Exactly.
They love ear eating. Yeah, the
cartilage. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Is cartilage. Yummy.
Let's do some quick financial
news. Which is always good. I'm
just What are you laughing
about?
John C Dvorak: I'm just it's
crazy clip you just played?
Well. I
Adam Curry: thought I was gonna
clip for the day. I already got
my clip of the day so I'm happy.
John C Dvorak: You're not gonna
get clipped of the day for
eating.
Adam Curry: I think it's up
there in the realm of Clip of
the Day territory. As
John C Dvorak: the tsunami would
have gotten,
Unknown: once lauded as the
wunderkind of crypto, who kept
the company of the rich and
famous this morning, Sam Backman
fried begins a 25 year federal
prison sentence back then free
to dressing the court. I'm sorry
about what happened at every
stage things I should have done
and said things I shouldn't
have. But the judge saying there
was never a word of remorse for
the commission of terrible
crimes. You just need FTX FTX
wants the go to celebrity
endorsed crypto exchange. Behind
the Scenes customers did not
know bank and fried was using
billions of their money for
himself to prop up his
struggling LME to hedge fund at
trial, prosecutors played this
interview with our George
Stephanopoulos.
So you do know and you did know
that FTX deposits were being
funneled to Alameda. So
I was vaguely aware that that
was how some wires were a sent
in the first place.
Didn't that set off alarm bells
in your head.
So there are a lot of people who
are involved in that process.
And look, I really deeply wished
that I had taken like a lot more
responsibility for understanding
what the details were of what
was going on their
customers have FTX lost
everything. One victim telling
the judge the money which I
wanted to spend on a family home
taken away as well as my
children's education, in
addition to the 25 years in
prison bank, when freed was
ordered to forfeit $11 billion
to compensate victims. It's one
of the stiffest white collar
sentences handed down in recent
years. And it reflected the
judges worry bank, when fried
could commit another fraud,
there is a risk that this man
will be in a position to do
something very bad in the
future. And it's not a trivial
risk.
Adam Curry: So they have a take
on this. So they send this
autistic kid who was completely
built up by Forbes magazine by
the media, particularly Hello,
CNBC. They send this kid to
jail, he'll come out when he's
50. At the end, and everyone
else gets off all the
celebrities who took money to
promote this hobbyists scam. The
politicians who took money money
that went was slush through to
Ukraine, his parents, his
parents, on the payroll, lawyers
from Stanford professors,
everybody gets a free pass and
they send this schmuck to jail.
It's really pathetic. It really
is. I mean, even the I mean, Kim
Kardashian and Snoop Dogg Got in
trouble for promoting some crap
coin. But oh, no, no, no, Tom
Brady's Okay, ya know, we'll let
him go. And so this kid takes
the fall for all of it, and
everybody knew it was going on,
everybody. But that's okay.
Because those of you who lost
all your savings you're going to
put into your house. Oh, boo
hoo. Did you not read the
disclaimer? I think you played a
clip from the special from NPR.
But this is in your future song.
Unknown: The idea is not new.
Martin Luther King and the Black
Panthers called for guaranteed
income. So did President Nixon.
These days, tech entrepreneurs
argue cash aid will be needed as
gig work automation and AI
threatened jobs. Preckwinkle
wants to prove it works. So it
can someday go nationwide cash
aid was fringe before the
pandemic. But after all those
COVID stimulus checks and
emergency rental payments,
interest exploded. Also City's
got their own pandemic money.
They're using that along with
philanthropy for small cash aid
pilots. They target low income
households and pay them 500 or
$1,000 a month for a year or
two. But as that pandemic money
runs out, it's possible this
trend could fizzle basic income
is not meant to replace other
assistance. But add to it. To be
clear, this and other guaranteed
income programs do not require
people to work at all. That's a
selling point for supporters.
They say it can give people time
and space to find a better job
or new direction. But it's a big
concern for opponents,
especially if no strings cash
aid were made permanent so far
with short cash aid pilots.
Researchers say there has been
no impact on whether people have
jobs. Some parents, though, have
cut back gig work to spend more
time with their kids.
Adam Curry: It's coming except
we're not going to call it
universal basic income. We're
calling it cash aid. cash aid
sounds so friendly.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
they're going to do to make this
work. But I mean, I agree with
you because it's just seems as
though they have system is set
up. But it's an it's not as
though the educational system
hasn't brainwashed everybody
enough to kind of expect it.
Adam Curry: So yeah. And Andrew
Yang.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he
popularized the Prophet. So yes,
you will What do you want an
offbeat clip? Something that
shows that we're like years
ahead of everybody else. Sure.
Adam Curry: Do we get to play we
told you so on no agenda? No.
John C Dvorak: Okay, that is the
most annoying of all the jingles
never created. We stopped
playing it. Yes. So I've picked
his clip off off the this kind
of a weird that was weird thing
that happened. I think it's kind
of nice a little discussion. But
this is a from the gut fell
show. You're going to spike the
ball is what you're going to do.
Good for you. With the 100%
clip.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're not going
to spike the ball before I
played the 100% clip. Can I just
spike the ball for you? Okay,
Spike. God fell did the tsunami.
He did
John C Dvorak: it as a sub
segment he normally does. He's
escaped. He does a scatological
piece every so often. And I
expected that's where it was
going to appear. It
Adam Curry: was he literally did
20 seconds. Yeah. Which was a
little disappointing. But yes,
this is a lot of people pick
this up because we have been on
this for a long time years,
John C Dvorak: or years.
Unknown: On everything is
racist. The phrase 100% Donald
Trump Jr. recently called the
anti Defamation League for
including 100% and its list of
terms related to hate and
extremism. According to the ADL
100% can be shorthand for 100%
whites. That's true. I've been
surrounded by white supremacist
for years.
But it's 100% about the gift
100% 100% 100% 100%
of you right now. 100% 100%
Yeah.
1,000% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 1,000%
Yes. 100,000 times. percent.
Adam Curry: Okay, so I think the
reason why they're doing this is
because 100 frickin percent they
want to they want to nail Trump
with it. But I can tell you from
my close, my best friend Mo is
black. I always want I love
saying that by have a good
friend who's black. So called
black. And this is really this
game. By the way. Almost
everything comes out of black
culture in America. And it was
formed rich. Ah. I'd say a lot
comes out.
John C Dvorak: What are you
talking about? A lie? Yeah. You
said everything.
Adam Curry: Almost. I said
almost everything. I didn't say
everything. That's everything.
Yeah. Okay. Strike that from the
record.
John C Dvorak: But just continue
with yours. This company, please
continue. Okay. Go on. Because,
but go ahead. But go ahead
website and never getting it
wrong. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Adam Curry: This is from the 100
emoji which comes from black
America saying well, 100 100 and
then it became 100%. And
everybody started using it. And
then my friend who happens to be
black stopped using it. Because
it became so popularized that it
wasn't fun anymore. It's an
emoji.
John C Dvorak: Which shouldn't
have a little 100 emoji. Yeah.
Should
Adam Curry: we call Apple racist
for having a racist? Um, yes. I
mean, come on. The this is the
anti Defamation League. And
John C Dvorak: when did they
when did the anti Defamation
League go south? They have
really lost their way. And it's
been
Adam Curry: that way for a long
time, Joan,
John C Dvorak: I think it has
too long. People just haven't
called called them out because
they're afraid of them. It
Adam Curry: was near the
Southern Poverty Law Center is
called they want their spot
back. They're the ones they're
the worst. Are you doing a D H
unplugged on Tuesday this
Tuesday? Yeah. Why? I have
something that I think Andrew
Horowitz your compadres. So
every Tuesday DH unplugged. I
listened to it religiously. It
is a fabulous show. If you want
to listen to it more often than
not I listen to it. I think all
the time. Mainly just to hear
you talk about me. Yeah, we do
that every show. Yeah. So I have
now I'm talking about your show.
And it comes on at eight o'clock
Eastern time or nine.
John C Dvorak: It's let me think
6789, Eastern,
Adam Curry: nine Eastern, so
eight Central, and it's a
podcast and it's a value for
value
John C Dvorak: stream.
Adam Curry: It's on the stream.
It's live on the stream. It's a
very, it's an outstanding
product. I have a question for
Andrew Horowitz he is uniquely
qualified to tell me what's
going on with this story.
Unknown: All right, we're back
now with a baffling underwater
mystery. Scientists are trying
to figure out the strange
phenomenon impacting fish in the
Florida Keys, causing them to
spin out of control and then
wash it Dead
State Fish and Wildlife
officials and Florida's Bonefish
and Tarpon Trust have logged
nearly 200 incidents with over
30 species acting this way,
mostly in the Lower Keys. But as
far north as Miami.
Yeah, this is crazy. I was out
on a six hour charter I had two
people on the boat and we were
downloaded for ligament by the
bank, and we'd happened to see a
fish floundering on the flats.
And then so we got close to him,
we want to see if there was a
problem, and we could obviously
tell that he was in distress.
It turned out to be a soft fish,
a critically endangered species
that might lose four or five
mature adults a year, but in
just a few months, at least 27
have beached themselves or died
after intense episodes of what
anglers are calling the spins.
So
typically, when we think of fish
acting strangely or dying, we
either think of low oxygen
conditions in the water or red
tide. And so we saw neither.
At the water school at Florida
Gulf Coast University. My
Parsons team is part of a
statewide effort to solve the
mystery of the spinning fish.
And while test for most toxins
have turned up empty, the most
promising suspect is found
living off seaweed at the
bottom, a tiny critter named
Gambier discuss, this is the
highest we've seen of the gamers
to cells in the keys. We don't
know if it's the main cause the
single celled algae can produce
various neurotoxins, and is
showing up at record high
levels. But it's just one more
stressor on marine life already
reeling from pollution,
overfishing, and off the charts,
ocean heat waves brought by
climate change.
Adam Curry: They gave it away.
Debussy forever. Have you seen
this? Have you I have not, oh,
they're spinning in circles, not
not horizontally, but
vertically. Like just, you know,
building jump up and spin not
jumping out of the water
underwater just spinning around
and around and around. So
climate change is one answer.
And here's another one off the
Unknown: charts. Ocean
temperatures are of course, just
one of the massive stressors on
marine life down here these
days, there was a three year
study recently, in which 100% of
the bonefish,
Adam Curry: oh, random races
were tested
Unknown: in the Keys turned up
at least seven different
pharmaceuticals, from opioids to
antidepressants. And so this
behavior is not been seen
before. But it is sort of an
attack from 1000 different
angles. For the creatures living
down here and maybe a warning
for the rest of us.
Adam Curry: Yeah, if you start
to spin in the bathtub, you know
what's up? You gotta lay off the
drugs. You gotta lay off the
drugs. Wow. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: No, I asked him
because he's a major league
official. He's
Adam Curry: a fisher Exactly.
John C Dvorak: He's got all the
big boys. He's done a good job.
He's, I have a clip for you.
Okay. There's gonna be a lot of
called Uber files, or Umbra
files and his Umbra file. umber
files. umbra. Yeah, that's a
person who's nutty about the
solar eclipse.
Unknown: In a little over a
week, a total solar eclipse will
trace an arc across North
America. In that narrow path,
the skies will completely dark
and temperatures will drop.
It'll feel like the dead of
night during the middle of the
day. If you're traveling to
witness this rare event, life
gets Regina Barbara has tips on
what to expect.
science writer David Baron says
seen a total solar eclipse is
the closest thing to space
travel, you can experience
without leaving.
It's like for a few minutes,
you're suddenly transported to
some alien world. It's like
you're living in some sci fi
movie seeing a sky you've never
seen seeing the universe in a
whole new way. It really can
change your outlook for years to
come If not the rest of your
life
Adam Curry: is really, you know,
Eclipse fever is is off the
chart here. Yeah. And you know,
Fredericksburg took the Express
position to not promote
Fredericksburg as a place to
come to see the Eclipse. Many
other times it was smart. Yeah,
I mean, Travis County, which is
Austin. Everyone's declaring a
disaster emergency. Now I know
why. Federal money. So that all
declaring Oh, we have it. Oh, we
have a disaster. We've got the
National Guard coming out. For
some reason CERN. This is
concerning. CERN is going to
fire up the Large Hadron
Collider on on April 8. Why? We
I know doesn't sound like a good
idea.
John C Dvorak: So what did they
say? The rationale is,
Adam Curry: I don't know.
They're looking for stuff.
They're looking. They're looking
for stuff. But you know, if we
survive, we'll have I mean, I'll
have the firsthand boots on the
ground.
John C Dvorak: I'll tell you
this when when there's an
eclipse I've been through I have
never been to 100%. One
Adam Curry: Oh, racist.
John C Dvorak: I've never been.
I've never, I don't think I am
pretty sure this I was a kid.
I've not seen a total. But I've
seen a 90 and a 70. They happen
every so often they would like
we get lucky when there's no
cloud cover. The only thing that
to me that's super remarkable,
is as soon as it happens, the
temperature drops like a rock,
it's really cold. And then but
that's obviously the sun's got
nothing to do with global
warming. So search if you're not
convinced that the sun has
everything to do with global
warming, go down to
Fredericksburg and spend. It's
like the last about five to
eight minutes of total totality.
It will be colder than it'd be
so cold you want to match. It's
just really cold.
Adam Curry: So sir Jean is
coming out who come out Sunday,
the seventh in the afternoon.
And he's staying overnight. And
we figure we could do worse, you
know? Because if everything
shuts down if the world goes
dark, at least we'll have Jean.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he can.
He's got he's armed.
Adam Curry: He's prepared. I
think he's bringing his his
Urban Assault vehicle. He's got
everything I told you to bring
in the the night vision goggles
and the thermal glasses.
John C Dvorak: Like I look out
for snipers,
Adam Curry: we got to keep
people off of our lawn telling
you hey, with that I'd like to
thank you for your courage in
the morning to you the man who
put the sea in the carbon bomb
say hello to my friend on the
other end the one and only Mr.
Johnson.
John C Dvorak: Mr. Curry in the
morning all ships and sea boots
on the ground feet in the air.
So does the water damage that
they said in
Adam Curry: the morning to all
the trolls and the troll room?
Hold up those hands.
I have the forearm troll count
for you. We had a peak, which
was 1982. That was about an hour
ago. On the previous Sunday. We
had 1576 today. No everyone's
enjoying 1742 We're up by more
than 200 by 150. Trolls. Sunday
John C Dvorak: we're supposed to
have like 2400 people. Well,
Adam Curry: it's but it's it's a
resurrection day people
John C Dvorak: are yes, I accept
that. Also people do and other
stuff.
Adam Curry: Don't so it was
John C Dvorak: a transgender.
mock the transgender rationale
or something?
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's practice your pronoun day
here. All right. The trolls are
joining us, usually through
troll room.io. That's where you
can listen live. That's we're
counting all these live trolls
listening along. And you can
actually join the chat room and
troll, which is actually the
trolling has been kept to a
minimum today the trolls have
been Eastern. It is easy. We got
the Easter trolls, the Easter
trolls are out with us today.
You can also participate by
grabbing a modern podcast app,
I've been using pod verse again.
It gives you an alert when we go
live, you can get the stream
live. Also the minute we publish
the show, you get all of those
cool, besides the fact that you
get it within 90 seconds. You
get all of those fantastic
features, the chapters that drip
does, we have a transcript that
runs in real time you can search
the transcript. There's just
tons of additional stuff and
it's brought to you by by non
Silicon Valley douchebags. It's
Mitch and his and his brother,
man that's just doing this
together. Go to podcast
apps.com. There there are 25 I
think now to choose from. And
seeing as Google podcast is
closing this week. Did you know
that you knew that right Google
podcasts
John C Dvorak: already closed?
They announced that everything
that YouTube
Adam Curry: Yeah, YouTube music?
Yeah. Yeah, that's gonna work.
No, of course not stupid. So go
ahead and, and import your
podcasts into a modern podcast
app. We are in our 16th year of
value for value. Which is as far
as I'm concerned, the only way
to run a show like this. Because
we don't just get the benefit of
being able to speak our mind and
not being censored. If only if
only for not being able to
mention a competing product.
Imagine the if you couldn't just
say I'm drinking Waterloo today
and you What are you drinking
again?
John C Dvorak: The polar Yeah,
no, we'd
Adam Curry: have we'd have to be
like seltzer. That'd be like,
Oh, John, are you drinking your
Perrier? Dookie Perry,
everything
John C Dvorak: would be
promoted. That would be the but
we'd be making so much more
money. Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: But we would be
total stooge,
John C Dvorak: this show is
suck. Yeah, this shows reality
and people got to appreciate
that in some way. I
Adam Curry: wouldn't be able to
say hey, I had a gigawatt Coffee
Roasters coffee beforehand. No,
no, that'd be like Starbucks is
the bomb. It's great. Now that
would be horrible.
John C Dvorak: I had a good
Starbucks meme in the last
newsletter. Yeah, what was it?
It was instead of going to
Starbucks, I make coffee at
home, shout out my shout out my
name and mispronounce it and
then burn a $5 bill, something
like that was actually quite
funny. All right?
Adam Curry: No, instead, we have
producers, we don't even have
listeners, we have producers.
We're not tracking, you know,
pixels. That's how they track
people on podcast. It makes sure
you download it would track you
with a pixel on that pixel gets
tracked, all
John C Dvorak: old fashioned
dead that was years ago that
used to track with pixels. This
is
Adam Curry: why the podcast
industrial complex is not doing
so well. You know, ever since
ever since Apple came out with
iOS 17. They, they stopped and
this is such a scam. The way the
way it works, or the way it used
to work is you know you
subscribe to it. Let's say you
have a daily podcast. And you
just subscribe this daily
podcast. And then you listen to
it on Monday, maybe Wednesday
you forgot. And then you listen
again the next Monday. And what
Apple would do, which was
actually actually even better
than most of the of the scam
apps is the minute you listened
again, it would then go on
automatically download the
previous episodes. And they
would count as downloads, even
though of course, you're never
going to listen to them.
John C Dvorak: No, you're never
going to listen to those old
downloads. So Apple stopped
doing that. It was the oh there
you go. There it goes. The
numbers 25% 25%
Adam Curry: Drop in download
numbers. And there are still
companies that are writing
checks to advertisers doing make
goods for the rest of the year.
Oh, it's horrible. Because it
the whole thing is a scam. Sorry
to say. I mean, I'm sure that
yeah, if you have your if you
use code barn, Gino? I mean,
then you could track something.
But even then, I mean, that's
called di you know, direct
inquiry. Anyway, doesn't matter.
The art producers help us with
time, talent and treasure when
you help us with time and
talent. That is that can often
be a huge saving toss as an
example. We love having modern
art that is new every single
episode. We think it's good. We
think that no, we know that it
works that people see these
things like oh, wow, that's
hilarious, or cheesecake. And
then they click and they listen
to them, they get reminded of
how awesome we are or they're
just intrigued if they're new
time listeners, welcome new time
listeners, you know, producers,
John C Dvorak: newcomers.
newcomers. Exactly.
Adam Curry: Welcome to all the
newcomers. So we'd like to thank
them. So we basically just
provide this show as is but
there's no hoops nothing you
have to know tricks no, nothing,
no no ads, no corporate money,
content, premium content just
full on full value. We give it
our all we
John C Dvorak: don't hide all
premium content. That's the
point. It is it's all premium
Adam Curry: content. And if you
value it, we just asked you to
do something back for us. And we
want to thank the artists who
did something back for us. It
was Taunton. Neil was back
again. At Taunton Nila got the
mojo back and brought us I mean,
this was so good for a specific
reason. This was we had the
story about McDonald's now
carrying Krispy Kreme Doughnuts,
and Taunton Neo made a Big Mac
with a glazed Big Mac, which
looks utterly disgusting. With,
like pink glazing, which was
interesting because a lot of
people said to be honest, I'd
eat that. Can you imagine there
are people yeah,
John C Dvorak: there's a lot of
people that liked it. There are
some restaurants around the
country if you watch these
obscure shows like it that that
had produced this product.
Adam Curry: Well, they look
disgusting to
John C Dvorak: me. Yeah, it was
disgusting to me too. But that
Adam Curry: on his face was
funny. But then what Taunton
Neil did with the note with the
McDonald's logo. And put this
note legitimated an N and N A? I
mean, that is to me that was
high level. Professional work.
John C Dvorak: It was very good.
In fact, you tip I look at the
artwork before you do. And I
concluded there was nothing.
Adam Curry: And here's how it
works. It's after we do the show
and I'm sitting here drinking
coffee, I'm drinking my my black
rifle then my gigawatt and I'm
drinking a red Dr. Pepper that
I'm drinking a Waterloo. So by
the time we've done the credits,
I'm like okay, why don't you
look at the art I've got a p and
then I'll come back and then
I'll sit down say and what do
you find your like nutzern
John C Dvorak: Norm Willie, I'll
say something. I think there's
three, four good pieces here and
then see where we match up. But
in this case, I said there's
nothing, and I didn't really get
a good look at for some reason,
the crem burger? Is that what is
called shave cream or Krispy
Kreme burger. And there's just a
lot of Taylor Swift is the devil
and you really just and then
there's a lot of AI. Let's,
Adam Curry: let's stop there for
a second. Why do people not know
us? We're not going to put
Taylor Swift as a devil in our
art. No. And why aren't we going
to do that job?
John C Dvorak: Well as probably
some legal issues that could
happen we can get in trouble
tout is maybe slanderous. And
you also can't use a celebrity
to promote your product without
paying. That's
Adam Curry: the main issue right
there. There it is. You got to
be very careful with that. So
just looking there was yeah, you
know, that the AI art is really
ruining everything. I gotta tell
you Ayar just ruined stuff. If
you look at like, Oh, more you
AI eggs, chicken,
John C Dvorak: continue the
story. So he comes back,
relieved, and I say there's
nothing there's nothing. He
says, oh, and he looks he can't
find by then. For some reason.
This happens a lot. By the way.
There's a piece like this grim
burger. And it's neither one of
us really noticed that first
pass, but when you see it, it's
the winner. And that's what
happened. This is obviously the
piece to pick.
Adam Curry: That's why there's
two of us. And as I understand
from from the socials, Taunton,
Neil through that logo in as an
afterthought. Good. Where's
where's that? To me? That's like
that made it? B,
John C Dvorak: I didn't make it
for me. I mean, I liked it a
lot. But I just thought the
whole piece was the best. It's
better for two reasons. That
with the NA in the corner like
that one, it balances the piece
of the composition is better.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. And the
second reason is cute. Thank you
to all the artists who
participate in this contest, you
can be an artist too. There's no
rules, just him, throw it up
there, open an account. And if
we like it, we will choose it.
If we don't, we'll criticize you
and belittle you. And that's
something that you'll never get
in the professional art world.
They will not tell you that it
was no good. They won't. They
won't. They just won't call you
they won't call my mother. Yeah,
you know, much work won't call
you won't pay, you know, agenda,
our generator.com. If you're
listening live, you can just sit
there and refresh and watch the
art come in in real time. If
you'd like to see many of these
pieces, you can go there at any
time, or use that modern podcast
app. They're in the chapters,
then Dred Scott uses I think
almost every single one of them
where every single show. So
that's the the time and the
talent. We appreciate those
producers, particularly these
artists. And we also have people
who bring us the third T which
is treasure. And this keeps our
show going. And we are very
happy that we have a number of
people who have supported us
today. We thank everyone who
comes in $200 or above will read
your note. Within reason, of
course. And we'd like to bestow
a credit of executive or
associate executive producer on
these people. And we start off
with an old favorite a friend of
the show who comes in every
single month. Sir animus of
Dogpatch and lower Slavia we
never understand his numbers. We
don't it's never consistent. I'm
a little weirded out because he
didn't add it to. But I'm sure
he had to $2 bills.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there were
$2 bills in there. This day,
this is a date of D day or the
day BEFORE D DAY a
Adam Curry: good point the
44.1 1944 We could not be more
appreciative of that. And he
usually sends in a note of this
is all in cash the way he sends
it, which means there's no
PayPal fees, no checking cashing
fees, there's no fees at all. He
sends it from a different
mailbox every single time. And
in this case, it just said from
synonymous of Dogpatch and Loris
LeBeau. Via Ramadan Mubarak to
all producers. Thank you Ramadan
bark to you. And he now this was
they always n j and k is always
a typewritten note. He had a
musical cleft is that a cleft?
John C Dvorak: It is there some
days? I know as it stands, I
don't know what it is. We sat
around the table to because this
happened before. And we sat
around the table Jay and Brennan
and myself trying to figure This
out never dawned on me what it
was because he's done this
before. No no wow, I wasn't
gonna let that get by a second
time with me being you know
doofus about it. And I had no
note yet
Adam Curry: so it's basically
just the you know the five lines
musical scale yeah looks like a
musical score with no score with
no notes in it so no. Wow we've
solved the puzzle
John C Dvorak: we've solved the
puzzle is kind of a visual.
Adam Curry: Thank you so much
rawness of Dogpatch and Lois
LeBeau via we really appreciate
you fantastic.
John C Dvorak: Travis Oh rich

Lewiston, Iowa, Idaho, I'm

note and he sent two checks.
Okay. 33333 Thank you. And so we
combined them. I said, Jay just
put them together as a big
donation. But it could have just

was meant to be 2333. That's
retreat. Check.

John C Dvorak: Baron. Yes. Yeah.

Wow, that's our group of donate
tours to show 1647 Want to thank
every one of them.
Adam Curry: Thank you all so
much. And thank you to those who
came in early with John's
birthday donations. His birthday
is this Friday. This Thursday,
we have a special red book
special on the show as John will
be giving away his daughter.
You're giving her What are you
giving her way?
John C Dvorak: I'm giving her
away. Are you have you ever had
it?
Adam Curry: Have you had an
issue? Will she be off the
payroll? Will that finally be
done?
John C Dvorak: No. That's not
happening. She runs the book
company.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's true.
Yes. You must be very excited
about the about the wedding.
Yeah. Okay. There's the excite
I'm going to step aside for the
excitement John just yeah, it
almost hit me in the face like a
wet salmon. Alright, nice. Gotta
John C Dvorak: be careful.
Adam Curry: And John's birthday
on on Friday, and we'll be back
on Sunday. This red book is
great, because you will hear a
lot of Redbook predictions that
came absolutely true. And a lot
that really didn't. Particularly
from me, I will point out, but
it's a fun show. And our
producer put that together and
as one of our nights and he will
be appropriately credited. The
John C Dvorak: fact that you
identified probably the source
of most of your bad predictions.
Yes, defense, guys. Yeah, I
know, Defense Intelligence guys
that they played you for a
sucker.
Adam Curry: That's right. That's
right. That's right. That's
right. Thank you to everyone who
came in under $50. We never read
anything there. That is for
reasons of anonymity that people
come in right under that $50
level. And of course, we have
our our multiple sustaining
donation which a lot of people
use for layaways which do add up
in fact, we have Have two
layaway nights which we are
going to night today. I'm going
to read well one note in fall
and one I will skirt around. The
first one is from Scott. He says
I've now completed my night
layaway plan September 22 to
march 24 this month and I wish
to be knighted sir stick in the
mud. I began listening after
Adams Glenn Beck podcast
appearance and I've awaited each
installation since Yes, it's
another installation of the no
agenda show. Here's the several
years more years of
deconstruction. Thank you very
much, Scott. Thank Chris snipes
came in. And he says I hope this
note finds you both. Well, Adam,
happy Easter He is risen. He is
indeed. I love your conversion
and pray you continue your
journey. No worries. God bless
John as a Catholic myself. I
hope you return to the church
one day. And he goes on to say
there's a very long note. He's
been a longtime listener. He
began listening to the best
podcast in universe when JCD was
a regular on that show in
Petaluma. You guys got me
through eight years of active
duty Army service thanks to the
global war on terror. I continue
to keep my amygdala small.
Thanks for your media
deconstruction. My wife and I
have been married for 25 years.
We have seven children. And I'm
a homicide detective and one of
Georgia's largest cities. Do we
have the best producers in the
universe for a while?
John C Dvorak: That's a good
one.
Adam Curry: He says I also work
closely with the FBI and other
three letter agencies but I'm
not a spook and my wife runs a
nonprofit we're nonprofit
working to end abortion. And he
goes I mean, so they moved out
of the city they bought 20 acres
that building a farm growing
meat chickens, pork laying hens
and will soon have sheep we want
to know where our food comes
from.
John C Dvorak: The egg book.
Yeah, egg book.
Adam Curry: I'd like to be known
as Sir Chris Knight of the thin
blue line and tender of the foul
line farm. Very nice. Normal
fair at the round and round
table will do just fine. He says
I'd like some jingles. I'd like
you're going to need a Bitcoin
and bingo Boom shakalaka
actually, I see we have three
nights here. So let me do that
for you first. That's ended all
hell is gonna break loose and
you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
Boom shaka laka. And then I'm
sorry, we had a third this is
the very long note. This is
Crocky and he says in the
morning, gentlemen, this
donation brings me to the
roundtable I was hit in the
mouth by fellow producer nearly
normal early in the scan
Demmick. Despite listening
faithfully through every
donation statements since then I
have yet to hear him donate in
that time, so I shall call him
out as a douchebag. I have found
the show and community around it
to be immensely valuable, and
happy to reciprocate with some
treasure and encourage others to
do the same. The NAS community
is a small island in a sea of
insanity, but it's a good place
to stop and catch your breath.
As the world swirls around us.
The deconstruction skills I've
gained from the show have been
immensely valuable helping to
more clearly see the
manipulation and the agenda the
M five abuses against us. And
then he has Oh man it just went
on and went very very long here.
But Sunday on the 33rd and it
was a this weekend was an
assault of message and
everything seemed to align it
only is today an Easter Show day
with 33 in the date, but also
happens to be exactly 33 years

directions with the community

ours. About that, please Knight

Adam Curry: life of a podcast.
Terrible, terrible
news, just to prove that there
is good news in the world. And
it's not all just all the stuff

out. No, there's good stuff out
there. And John does nothing
Mimi does all the work. And John
just takes credit. What do we
have today? I
John C Dvorak: want to mention
that other people do send these
in, but a lot of them are really
old or they come off a tic tac,
you don't know the dates, and
some of them are staged and they
haven't gotten many good things.
So
Adam Curry: people are not doing
they're doing their best. So
you're saying yes. Okay.
John C Dvorak: So this is the
rescued outlet story, baby great

Last Tuesday, someone found this
bait baby great horned owl and
Christmas Valley. The outlet had
fallen from his nest and you can
see that that's way up on the
top of that middle tree there.
That's a long fall 20 to 30
feet. The Nature Center made the
two hour drive and rescue the

on Friday, the sun river Nature
Center reunited the young out

They're back in their nest and
Christmas Valley. Think wild

quite a bit. Yeah, it was
getting big too. All righty.

Adam Curry: What's her name?
Jenny Han Shan Shan and that's
her new name. Yeah, so let's
make it a little racist while
we're at it. So
John C Dvorak: she's a druid.
She's had a druidic ceremony
when I went to InfoWorld. Back
in the 80s. It was run by druids
horns on their hands and doing
some ceremony. There's a lot of
druidic bullcrap in Silicon
Valley and she's a part of
Adam Curry: it. I met a druid in
Amsterdam. We got DMT from a
druid.
John C Dvorak: How do you know
he's a druid? Dude,
Adam Curry: he had the horns on
his head and everything. No,
yes, yeah, he had the lots of
Stevie Nicks type flowing robes
and stuff
John C Dvorak: and nobody knows
anything about him. Pliny the
Elder wrote of the druids
appreciation for both mistletoe
and human sacrifice. Murder a
man was to do the act of highest
devoutness he wrote to eat his
flesh was to secure the highest
blessings of health, even
described a battle in Wales in
which drew is covered their
altars with the blood of
captives. This woman was
introduced to the campaign
because Bobby They came in, and
he's pulling about 12%. And
initially he was taking from
both Biden and Trump, but by
bringing drew it in, you
Adam Curry: know, and she's
wearing like, a druidic tree
outfit with leaves and stuff. I
John C Dvorak: pagan woman, she
will kill any chance that a
Trump voter is going to cross
over and vote for Bob. Because
he's only going to suck away the
votes from Biden. And that's
what the research says that's
the
Adam Curry: right there. I
completely concur. Work around
town. Oh, no. Oh, no, no way.
And yes, I have to agree. I
don't like calling people. Gold
Digger easily, but she sure
seems to have all the traits of
one that was that was the choice
is like, Well, look, you got a
lot of money. I'll make sure my

Unknown: the disinformation
pandemic has been a growing
threat to public health,
institutional trust and even to
our democracy. Until now
introducing NPC the first ever
vaccine against disinformation
misinformation and Mal

brain from unapproved propaganda
using mRNA misinformation
reversing neuro linguistic

reprograms your brain to
generate thoughts approved by

it easier to trust the experts
in clinical trials the
unvaccinated were more likely to
exhibit independent thinking and

prevent this informations

may slow the spread, reduce

for mandatory re education. Side
effects of NPC may include brain
fog triggering and testicular
shrinkage. If you are allergic
