Adam Curry: This Year Award
winning give our nation media
0:08
assassination episode 1654. This
is no agenda, revealing repose
0:16
and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country
0:19
here and FEMA reached number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm
0:22
Adam curry,
0:23
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley, where we're
0:26
wondering why people do weird
rants while sitting in the front
0:30
seat of their car, and Genesee
Devorah. Hill?
0:36
Adam Curry: Well, that is yes,
that is the collapse of society.
0:40
Of course. That's, that's the,
we'll have that and electro
0:45
lights. That's, that's the
future. renting your car, and
0:49
electro lights in your belly.
That's it. That's it. And you
0:54
notice everyone's always sitting
on the left hand side because
0:56
somehow their cameras always
mirror them. Yeah, isn't that
1:01
weird?
1:02
John C Dvorak: That's true.
1:03
Adam Curry: I don't understand.
I don't understand why those
1:06
cameras don't automatically just
flip it around.
1:08
John C Dvorak: You can flip it.
I'm sure there's a button you
1:10
can push. I
1:11
Adam Curry: think so. You think
so. But they don't.
1:13
John C Dvorak: They don't care?
No, they're in their car.
1:16
screaming their heads off and
then posting it ranting.
1:21
Adam Curry: Yes, that's, that is
what influencers do. John,
1:26
haven't you? Haven't you heard
all the kids are doing it?
1:29
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we don't
want to go to first person was
1:32
this is something that has not
been explored is very common.
1:37
Who is the first person who in
their car produced an online
1:43
rant? Well, that's sitting down
in the driver's seat and yakking
1:46
away at the camera in the car,
and then posting it. There's a
1:50
number one, JFK
1:52
Adam Curry: says the troll room?
No, no, JFK is not right. Yeah,
1:59
honestly. One of my early daily
source codes I did in the car.
2:04
There's even a picture of me in
the New York Times doing a
2:06
podcast from the car now wasn't
with
2:10
John C Dvorak: you or the
Genesis wasn't? It?
2:13
Adam Curry: Wasn't video though.
It's not quite the same thing.
2:18
ranting randomly.
2:20
Yeah. Well, and that was never
video. And it has to be I don't
2:23
know. I don't know. That person
deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
2:27
Just like, maybe
2:28
John C Dvorak: Jenna Marbles? I
don't think so. Whatever
2:31
happened to her? I
2:32
Adam Curry: don't know what who
was Jenna Marbles?
2:36
John C Dvorak: I forget who she
is. But she was one of the early
2:39
infant online influencers. And
she, she at one point, I think
2:46
she broke down and gave up on
it. And made a big guest scene.
2:52
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, I do
remember this. Yeah,
2:55
John C Dvorak: that was she was
the stage name. She wasn't
2:57
really Jenna Marbles.
2:59
Adam Curry: So. So that's an
annoying thing. But there's
3:03
something else that has cropped
up. Well, there's a couple
3:06
things. Do you ever go on X or
any? Any social media at all
3:11
anymore? Or is that go go away
with your phone? You just threw
3:14
that out?
3:16
John C Dvorak: I never went on
social media with my phone. No,
3:19
I
3:19
Adam Curry: mean, but you'd go
on social media at all. You look
3:22
at x.
3:23
John C Dvorak: I course I look
at x headline x all the time.
3:27
Okay, so
3:28
Adam Curry: I just gotta say
something. I I don't think that
3:31
every famous woman who's an
actress or is a performer. I
3:38
don't think they're all dudes.
This is getting a little
3:42
annoying. People keep posting
pictures. Like here's Britney
3:44
Spears. What do you notice?
3:49
John C Dvorak: I have not I'm
not in that thread here.
3:52
Adam Curry: Every woman's that
dude. Yeah. Jennifer Aniston.
3:56
Dude, Matt. It's now Jennifer
Madison is what they're calling
3:59
her. It's really rampant.
Everyone's just calling women
4:02
dudes. Now. It's has something
to do with the whole you know,
4:07
women and men in women's sports.
It's like it's a thing. So
4:12
everybody's regression. Yes.
Twisting everybody's brain. Oh,
4:14
yeah. No, you just see a dude
and everything. You got to
4:17
question yourself if you're
seeing that. Like that's a
4:20
little concerning. And then the
other one. It's between r and Y
4:25
on your keyboard. Using this?
No.
4:29
John C Dvorak: Ah, you're
keeping me up? I'm glad. Yeah.
4:32
Adam Curry: So if you're on
Twitter, and it's between r and
4:35
Y on your keyboard, that's a T
and you hit the T then it brings
4:39
up the the menu to repost or
retweet. But it but immediately
4:44
from what I understand just a
plain T. Yeah. Oh no. Do they
4:48
have to hit Ctrl? Oh, no, it
didn't. Oh, you didn't know
4:52
that. If you go on Twitter. You
can even use your J and K keys
4:57
for up and down. And yeah, it's
a complete To complete Linux,
5:01
you want to call it vim vi vi
Keymapping. You can do WordStar.
5:11
Okay, remapping to WordStar but
what it does is it creates an
5:16
interaction on that post. So
people get a hit for it or
5:20
something. I think that's what's
taking place. Tense. It's
5:23
everyone's scam and everything
that get everything get
5:26
eyeballs, I need eyeballs. I'm
an influencer and your eyeballs.
5:29
Pay attention to me. Anyway,
amidst all of this nuttiness
5:34
that's going on, which we
obviously will discuss, because
5:38
there's four, four areas now.
Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Hamas,
5:45
Taiwan, China, tic tock. But
what's happened today just kind
5:53
of got snuck in and there wasn't
a lot of chatter about it.
5:56
Unknown: Net Neutrality is
making a comeback with an FCC
5:58
vote today. And that means that
internet providers will not be
6:02
able to speed up or even slow
down certain web traffic.
6:06
Adam Curry: I love that they're
bringing this old trope back.
6:08
Oh, it's, it's, it's so they
won't be able to slow down your
6:11
speed. Slow down your speed. Who
is there anybody raise your hand
6:17
that has a slowed connection?
This is this isn't an
6:21
anachronism. This is a thing of
510 years ago. But now they're
6:25
still playing it off like hey,
these idiots they'll believe
6:28
anything. Yeah, man. It's
slowing down by CompuServe.
6:32
Unknown: Certain web traffic.
Now new FCC rules banned
6:35
blocking, throttling, or even
disadvantaging certain content
6:39
apps or services. They also bar
prioritizing them in return for
6:43
payment. And FCC vote under the
Obama administration is what put
6:47
net neutrality in place to begin
with, you would get AOL and
6:51
CompuServe. And services like
that saying,
6:53
Adam Curry: This isn't Eli
Patel, of course, the lawyer,
6:55
well, we provide email services,
6:58
Unknown: and you can make
websites no shopping. So we're
7:00
more than simply utilities. And
what's happened over time is
7:03
that consumers don't want to get
that stuff from their broadband
7:06
provider. So it has been gone
since 2018, due to a later FCC
7:12
decision under the Trump
administration. But this time
7:14
around the FCC, as you just
heard is taking into account
7:17
some modern uses of smartphones
and other devices. So the FCC
7:21
says it could take a couple of
months before these rules get
7:24
put into place. Now
7:25
Adam Curry: I want to get
everybody's head on straight
7:28
before you go. Because this is
only one thing and one thing
7:32
only which we have explained
over and over again. And every
7:36
single time we do it. It's very
controversial. People come out
7:39
of the woodwork and go, that's
not this net neutrality is
7:42
really important noon is better
voice is really important, man.
7:49
This is their will. So now your
ISP will be forbidden, listen
7:54
carefully from blocking or
throttling any legal traffic,
8:01
legal transfer again, and there
will be protests and they're
8:04
allowed to shape their traffic,
and they will be able to
8:09
throttle or block certain
protocols that they do not deem
8:15
to be legal. I can think of a
few How about Tor? Tor, Tor
8:20
John C Dvorak: gets blocked
everywhere top of the list.
8:22
Hello. Yeah.
8:23
Adam Curry: Because you know,
you can set up a web server at
8:25
home with Tor. You don't need
anything, just that's the dark
8:27
web. So that'll that'll be on
deck and then torrent. They'll
8:32
block that traffic. And
actually,
8:35
John C Dvorak: that will be that
will be at the top of the list.
8:37
Adam Curry: I think I think
it'll be the first parent
8:40
John C Dvorak: that copyright
paranoia of passing around stuff
8:44
is really
8:45
Adam Curry: that's what it's
always been for initially, but
8:47
now you know, it's dark webs
Dark Web as all dark web Dark
8:50
Web dark web. Yeah, Tor. So go
ahead, everybody have another
8:56
drink? Do you thought that
everyone thought tick tock tick
9:01
tock tick tock. The clock is
ticking on tick tock. But
9:04
meanwhile, they're just going to
be able to do anything they
9:07
want. Well, they
9:08
John C Dvorak: hope Wow.
9:10
Adam Curry: I mean, it'll I mean
9:11
John C Dvorak: they did work
arounds are just there's
9:14
Adam Curry: not really a
workaround at the ISP level for
9:16
Tor. If you want to serve Tor
from your home that I don't
9:20
think that's going to work. Oh
Phoebe's okay, you're good.
9:23
John C Dvorak: Don't think so?
Tor Tor Tor Tor it's
9:26
Adam Curry: okay you Good girl.
Good job. Good job.
9:28
John C Dvorak: By the way I
should mention it to you. Oh,
9:31
it's get a little annoying the
dog is in the background
9:33
barking. I think that dog
besides the fact that she has a
9:38
terrific bark she's got a
dimension to the show that no
9:42
other podcast has. I love it.
9:44
Adam Curry: Okay, you're on we
still have the painters here as
9:48
always
9:49
John C Dvorak: a double bark.
Dogs do the double bark that
9:52
means something to dogs. I don't
know why but woof woof woof No,
9:56
it's
9:56
Adam Curry: important. She's
she's got something to say
9:58
John C Dvorak: there's a single
wolf but then she'll do the damn
10:00
Double
10:00
Adam Curry: she does double
Wolf's she's good. Good girl.
10:02
Good job. Breaking breaking is
breaking breaking hot off the
10:10
press. The Harvey Weinstein
conviction has been overturned.
10:18
John C Dvorak: Here's Well
10:19
Adam Curry: it's interesting.
Our our lawyer, I'm just gonna
10:24
let her bark right because you
like it. Ruff ruff good Gurmeet
10:27
John C Dvorak: is really does
it's not that she's far enough
10:30
away that it doesn't really
interrupt the flow of the show.
10:32
It just adds to the sound
effect.
10:33
Adam Curry: I can make her I
mean, I could make her up.
10:38
Maybe. Okay, be quiet now. I
haven't enough. Good Camilla,
10:42
our lawyer Rob comes in. He says
it will be interesting to see
10:45
how this plays alongside the
current Trump prosecution. He
10:49
says it could possibly help
Trump depending on the outcome.
10:55
Okay. Depending on how they how
they, because this will go back
11:02
to the court. I believe. It has
to be returned to a trial court
11:06
with a trial we'll start over
again. Oh, yay. The more of
11:10
that. And the reason why is so I
take our lawyers. Word is
11:17
important here. defendant was
convicted by a jury for various
11:21
sexual crimes against three
named compelling items, and on
11:24
appeal claims that he was judged
not on the Conduct for which he
11:28
was indicted, but on irrelevant,
pre judicial and untested
11:32
allegations of prior bad acts.
We conclude that the trial court
11:37
erroneously admitted testimony
of uncharged alleged prior
11:41
sexual acts against persons
other than the complainants of
11:45
the underlying crimes. So here's
New York, New York trying to you
11:51
know, convict a former president
of all kinds of stuff, and then
11:55
letting an actual creep go. I
mean, it's just too beautiful to
11:59
believe. It really is. It's like
it's what and then and so if
12:07
eBay, good girl that worked. So
even on you know, on this
12:15
podcast, Hello, we're podcast.
We give you some real
12:19
information and how that might
actually be interesting in in
12:23
today's legal land, landscape.
Other podcasts like the Midas
12:29
touch. Well, they have
collaborating with the New York
12:32
Times and they've got some
outstanding reporting on Donald
12:35
Trump
12:36
Unknown: turning to the court
proceedings as well. Maggie
12:38
Haberman reports that Donald
Trump continued to fall asleep
12:42
during the proceedings as well.
And you know, what I'm hearing
12:46
from my sources as well is that,
you know, and I hearing from
12:51
credible sources, who know
what's going on in the
12:55
courtroom. What I'm hearing is
is that take it for what it's
13:00
worth, but that Donald Trump is
actually farting in the
13:03
courtroom is very stinky around
him.
13:07
Adam Curry: I mean, it's it's
wonderful. I mean, that is
13:09
fabulous report. This is the
level that we get from Maggie
13:12
Haberman no less, He's farting.
And this has been top of the
13:16
news everyone's Donald Trump is
and it's not just farting, John.
13:19
It's putrid odor
13:21
Unknown: in the courtroom, and
that Trump's lawyers are like
13:25
repulsed by the scent in the
smell. And I'm not I'm not just
13:29
saying that to be like, Oh,
13:33
Adam Curry: why are you doing
it? You should have said
13:35
breaking break. Hey,
13:36
Unknown: you know, we have good
sources there. And I'm hearing
13:39
it from actual credible people
that as he's kind of falling
13:43
asleep, he is actually passing
gas and that his lawyers are
13:48
really struggling with the
smell. I
13:52
Adam Curry: like that. I like
the addition that his lawyers
13:54
are really struggling with this.
I mean, do they do the other
13:57
lawyers keeling over? Are they
putting on gas masks? I mean, we
14:02
need to add this to the Trump
rotation.
14:03
John C Dvorak: I have my list
and you might want to see if
14:05
there's anything that this is
the Trump rotation is two
14:08
categories is irregular and then
there's the criminal but here we
14:11
go. Ready? Yeah. Liar,
incompetent, unhinged
14:15
illegitimate President white
supremacist, racist bully,
14:19
immature Russian agent,
narcissist. Mean long ties,
14:24
insane. Tweets too much small
hands, small penis big red
14:29
button, criminal. Mean racist,
immature, thin skinned, runs.
14:36
The mob has no money. Unstable,
fatter than 239 pounds. Bank
14:42
Robber 25th amendment and should
be instituted. He hates women
14:46
misogynist holds grudges forever
plays golf a lot obstruction of
14:51
justice, money laundering and
cloud. John
14:57
Adam Curry: There you go wonder
partying. We're making fun
15:00
Ready, Marcin
15:00
John C Dvorak: cork would be the
one I also never put on that
15:03
list that watches gorilla TV. My
all time favorite
15:08
Adam Curry: farts in court. I
mean Bart's in court. This is
15:12
your your media and alternative
media together cooperating with
15:16
sources, reliable sources.
15:18
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
15:19
Adam Curry: I mean, they
literally were talking about and
15:20
he's scowling. And he's he's
looking a realistic person, his
15:24
lips.
15:26
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Rachel
Maddow got somehow God and she
15:29
was thankful that she got into
the court and she was talking
15:31
about how he scowling but you
wouldn't. I don't know about you
15:35
if you ever been to a court but
generally speaking, if you're in
15:38
the audience, you don't get to
see their faces. Know you're
15:42
behind them. But you know, the
guy is scowling. When you're
15:47
sitting behind him, which is
where you're seated seated,
15:50
you're not seated anywhere else.
15:52
Adam Curry: I think they're
they're looking at the court,
15:55
which is still always funny to
me that they have someone who
15:58
it's you can't have cameras in
the court, but you can have a
16:01
guide drawing. Yes, a guy
drawing. It's just literally a
16:04
caricature from someone who does
that Central Park. And it's
16:08
Trump, you know, the scout is
pushed lips,
16:11
John C Dvorak: I think they're
getting Rachel Maddow was going
16:14
on and on about how happy she
was to be there and he was
16:16
scowling. And he walked his
walks with a shuffle. I wish I
16:21
recorded this sounds good watch
with a shuffle. He looks like an
16:24
old man. He's taller than you
think. And it was just like, Who
16:29
What is this got to do with
anything? It's just a bunch of
16:32
it's so high schoolish
especially MSNBC, that it's an
16:37
embarrassment and these people
get paid. Rachel Maddow gets
16:41
literally gets millions of
dollars to work one day a week.
16:44
That's
16:44
Adam Curry: always a cry. And
you're, you're always mad about
16:47
that. Yeah. So then so then, you
know, this is affecting the
16:51
general population. Here's,
here's one we didn't expect.
16:57
This is from C span. Now,
there's a number of Trump
16:59
trials. So in this case, we're
talking about immunity. And it's
17:03
a little confusing, because all
the things he did on January 6,
17:07
he was still president. So you
know, view I presume that he has
17:12
immunity from anything he said.
He didn't go he didn't go and
17:15
bust down the doors at the
Capitol himself. But okay. And
17:22
somehow that gets conflated with
stuff he he's done after, or
17:27
wants to do after the election.
I mean, the whole thing is
17:30
weird. But now it seeps into the
brains of people. Let's go to C
17:34
span Democrat line. This is
David independent. Good morning.
17:38
Oh, I'm sorry. Independent.
Yeah. If
17:42
Unknown: if the court rules that
he is immune to end, the
17:45
President is immune to anything,
you know, actually, then the
17:50
President can could do anything
he wants to including
17:53
assassinating his political
opponents. So in that case, if
17:58
the court rules for for him,
President Biden could have him
18:04
assassin can have Trump
assassinated, and get away with
18:09
exactly what Putin and donor
Russia,
18:12
Adam Curry: really Russia now.
As great at that I had heard
18:16
that one. That's good. I like
that. And then we can put to
18:20
rest once and for all are
clearly incorrect assumption
18:25
that Obama could be prosecuted
for this. No, no, no,
18:30
John C Dvorak: I know where you
can be put to rest because it
18:32
was not addressed properly.
18:34
Adam Curry: Well, let's see. I
do about President Obama's drone
18:38
strikes. This is a justice
Cavanaugh asking the question.
18:41
The Office
18:42
Unknown: of Legal Counsel looked
at this very carefully and
18:45
determined that number one, the
Federal murder statute does
18:48
apply to the executive branch,
the president wasn't personally
18:52
carrying out the strike. But the
aiding and abetting laws are
18:55
broad. And it determined that a
public authority exception
18:59
that's built into statutes, and
that apply to particularly the
19:03
murder statute, because it talks
about unlawful killing, did not
19:07
apply to the drone strike. So
this is actually the way that
19:10
the system should function. The
Department of Justice takes
19:13
criminal law very seriously.
Through the analysis very
19:17
carefully, with established
principles, it documents them,
19:21
it explains them, and then the
President can go forward in
19:23
accordance with it, and there is
no risk of prosecution for that
19:26
course of activity.
19:28
Adam Curry: But of course,
you're right and I think it's
19:32
ignorance on the part of justice
Cavanaugh is part that he didn't
19:37
frame the question correctly.
19:38
John C Dvorak: It will not only
that, but he didn't do a follow
19:40
up that I can tell I mean, I
didn't get that little clips
19:43
been floating around. I don't
have the beginning Miranda I
19:46
don't even know is being played
today. And the follow up would
19:50
be with that so that even
includes the the assassinate the
19:55
the assassination by drone of an
American citizen that is exactly
19:59
what he should have followed up
with this and gotten it and if
20:02
they'd said yes to that. Great,
that's good to know.
20:06
Adam Curry: Yeah, but I don't
think he asked that. I don't
20:08
think Cavanaugh knows these
people don't know that stuff.
20:11
Well,
20:11
John C Dvorak: Kevin dropped the
ball. He was not his fault. It's
20:15
his staff.
20:15
Adam Curry: He was too busy
goofing. Phoebe It's okay. You
20:21
know who they are?
20:23
John C Dvorak: Who she barking
at?
20:24
Adam Curry: Well, the painters
are still just the last all day
20:26
John C Dvorak: the rafters is
it? Where's Where is? Oh,
20:30
Adam Curry: no important stuff
outside the house. She first you
20:36
went to New York and I was here
with the painters and that's
20:40
important stuff, man. She's
She's running this town. Running
20:44
this town. I do have a TRT
report about the Supreme Court
20:49
on former President Trump's
immunity. While the US press is
20:54
sniffing his farts. These guys
are actually doing some analysis
20:59
sitting
20:59
Unknown: in a courtroom day
after day. This will be Donald
21:02
Trump's life for the next few
weeks, and possibly for the next
21:06
several months as well. Trump
faces a total of four criminal
21:10
trials to hush money case
concerns allegations before he
21:14
became president. But the other
cases sent on his activities
21:18
while in office, most notably
the claim that he attempted to
21:22
overturn the results of the 2020
election. Today,
21:26
an indictment was unsealed.
Charging Donald J. Trump with
21:31
conspiring to defraud the United
States. This is
21:34
Adam Curry: the special
prosecutor he sounds out of
21:36
breath. He sounds weird, this
jack dude,
21:39
Unknown: conspiring to
disenfranchise voters, right,
21:42
and conspiring and attempting to
obstruct an official proceeding.
21:46
But
21:46
Trump's lawyers would argue that
making a president liable for
21:49
criminal charges would make the
job impossible. In their
21:54
submission to the court, they
say the threat of future
21:57
prosecution and imprisonment
would become a political cudgel,
22:01
to influence the most sensitive
and controversial presidential
22:05
decisions. And
22:07
I feel that as a president, you
have to have immunity. Very
22:10
simple. And if you don't, as an
example of this case, we're lost
22:15
on immunity. And I did nothing
wrong, absolutely nothing
22:20
working for the country.
22:21
In one sense, the court has
already handed Trump a victory
22:24
by agreeing to hear this case at
all. The former president had
22:28
been due to appear in court here
in Washington last month. But
22:32
the delay caused by this hearing
means the chances of him
22:35
appearing in another courtroom
before November's election. are
22:39
getting slimmer by the day.
There
22:41
Adam Curry: you go. Delay,
delay, delay delayed Lee, our
22:45
lawyer, Rob is the guy who is
listening to everything today
22:48
and he'll have a report for us.
So we'll know exactly what to
22:51
think. But that's better than
you know. Could it be a jury
22:55
intimidation if Trump is
farting? Is he intimidating the
22:58
jury?
23:01
John C Dvorak: This could be
something to do with gas
23:04
attacks.
23:05
Adam Curry: Chemical Warfare
chemical
23:07
John C Dvorak: warfare. Yeah,
that's it.
23:10
Adam Curry: I thought before we
just since there's there's so
23:13
many, I mean, there's a lot
going on. We're like in a in a
23:15
classic Maoist struggle session
in America right now. And it's
23:20
spreading all over the world,
23:22
John C Dvorak: all over the
world, especially Australia. I
23:24
have Australia clips. Before
23:26
Adam Curry: we do that, do you
mind if I play the extended West
23:29
Clarke seven clip just so we can
remember where a lot of this is
23:34
coming from?
23:37
John C Dvorak: What's the
extended version?
23:38
Adam Curry: Well, it's longer
than him just naming the seven
23:41
countries he gives the
background and how long this has
23:43
been going on and tells you who
the people are doing this for
23:47
the game, obviously, but we
played it. We didn't play the
23:50
extended one recently. I don't
think Well, here it is. So
23:52
reminder for everybody is good.
It's a background.
23:55
Unknown: And then I came back to
the Pentagon about six weeks
23:57
later, I saw the same officer. I
said, Why? Why am we attacked
24:01
Iraq, we still gonna attack
Iraq? He said, Oh, sir, he says
24:03
it's worse than that. He pulled
up a piece of paper off his desk
24:06
because I just got this memo
from the Secretary of Defense's
24:08
office, it says we're going to
attack and destroy the
24:11
government's in seven countries
in five years. We're going to
24:14
start with Iraq. And then we're
going to move to Syria, Lebanon,
24:17
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
I seven, seven countries in five
24:23
years. I said it's in a
classified memo. He said, Yes,
24:27
sir. I said, Well, don't show it
to me. He was about to show it
24:30
to me. So because I want to talk
about it. And I couldn't believe
24:33
it would really be true, but
that's actually what happened.
24:37
These people took control of the
policy in the United States. And
24:41
I realized then, it came back to
me a 1991 meeting I had with
24:46
Paul Wolfowitz. You know, in
2001, he was Deputy Secretary of
24:50
Defense, but in 1991, he was the
Undersecretary of Defense for
24:53
Policy to number three position
in the Pentagon. So I called him
24:57
up there he was available, and
he brought me in and Though I
25:00
said to Paul, I said, and this
is 1991. I said, Mr. Secretary,
25:05
you must be pretty happy with
the performance of the troops
25:07
and Desert Storm. And he said,
Well, yeah, he said, but but not
25:12
really. He said, Because the
truth is we should have gotten
25:15
rid of Saddam Hussein. And we
didn't. He said, but one thing
25:18
we did learn, he said, we
learned that we can use our
25:22
military in the region in the
Middle East, and the Soviets
25:25
won't stop us. He said, and
we've got about five or 10 years
25:29
to clean up those old Soviet
client regimes, Syria, Iran,
25:36
Iraq, before the next great
superpower comes on to
25:40
challenges. It was a pretty
stunning thing. I mean, the
25:43
purpose of the military is to
start wars and change
25:46
governments. It's not to sort of
deter conflict. We're going to
25:50
invade countries and I you know,
my mind was spinning. This
25:55
country was taken over by a
group of people with a policy
26:00
coup Wolfowitz, and Cheney and
Rumsfeld. And you could name a
26:08
half dozen other collaborators
from the Project for a New
26:11
American Century. They wanted us
to destabilize the Middle East.
26:17
Turn it upside down. Make it
under our control.
26:22
Adam Curry: There you go. That's
that's the full West Clarke
26:25
seven. Well, that's
26:26
John C Dvorak: actually a
different clip.
26:27
Adam Curry: It is. It is.
26:29
John C Dvorak: It's not the old
the old classic clip. That's
26:32
correct. Yeah, this is Yeah, cuz
he said he's brought this up
26:36
into the key brought us into the
conversation more than a few
26:38
times in that clip is probably
more interesting. If they
26:43
haven't heard that for a while.
You're right.
26:44
Adam Curry: Yeah, I knew you'd
like it. I knew you'd like it
26:46
because it kind of sets
26:48
John C Dvorak: the stage. It's a
winner. It
26:51
Adam Curry: kind of sets the
stage what let's look at
26:53
Australia I've been to Australia
was was
26:55
John C Dvorak: Australia's gone
nuts. No. Okay. What do we just
26:58
say a few things is we are no
sir. Australia donors are down.
27:02
So there's
27:04
Adam Curry: like they're dead.
That dead. Jim. We don't have a
27:06
lot of them.
27:08
John C Dvorak: They have this
Prime Minister, this guy you
27:12
don't know but knows who he is
his Anthony l Bernie's. He looks
27:17
like Elmer Fudd. And acts like
Elmer Fudd. He's a laborer. He's
27:24
the head of labor. And he is a
censorship nut. And the whole
27:30
country, both sides all
everybody in the entire
27:34
political spectrum is wants to
censor everything. Yes. And all
27:39
and all information should come
from the government and the
27:43
police. And I have a series of
clips. Now this series of clips
27:48
begins with one these are all
from Sky News. And it's a it's a
27:52
collection of various Australian
politicians. All demanding
27:59
censorship. And this guy Alba
knees thinks it should be
28:04
illegal to make a meme that
involves
28:07
Adam Curry: Well, to be fair, I
don't know if you have the clip.
28:11
But he was talking about super
impose I don't know if it was a
28:14
meme or not but it but memes
would fall under his outrage.
28:18
Yes.
28:19
John C Dvorak: Yeah. And he
thinks it should be memes
28:21
literally should be illegal. You
said memes. He said memes amazes
28:27
me. He hates memes. You should
move to Australia.
28:35
Adam Curry: My bags are packed.
I'm ready to go. All right,
28:39
John C Dvorak: I want to start
this with this clip is not part
28:42
of the the super clips. But this
is a clip about the there's this
28:48
woman named Julie Inman Grant,
who is the east safety chief he
28:53
said she's in charge of E Safety
he say oh I like a safety and
28:57
she is the one who is she used a
lot of a lot of the genesis for
29:03
this is from her and she's weird
because she has a California
29:09
accent and doesn't sound like an
Australian at all. But she put
29:14
the clamps the kibosh on any Jen
she's the one really injured
29:19
Miss misgendering and if you
arresting people and throwing
29:25
him in jail if they miss gender
is really important to her. That
29:29
this doesn't happen. So I want
to play that clip first, which
29:32
is just about the misgendering
because some people got their
29:35
kid in a ringer over this and
then I'll play the other one.
29:38
This is E Safety Julie Inman
grant clip, Chris
29:41
Unknown: we've had him on this
program has submitted a Notice
29:45
of Appeal against the E Safety
Commissioner in this country
29:48
Julian grant overheard takedown
order for his post where he
29:54
supposedly misgendered a trans
activists telling me that laters
29:59
with this case it's a
fascinating one. It's one that
30:02
got international attention.
People were shocked that this
30:06
was happening in Australia and
you would think the Safety
30:09
Commissioner would have bigger
priorities I don't know Child
30:14
Exploitation for one then to
bring down posts on x. Yeah,
30:20
that's right. Look, there is a
serious issue with the exposure
30:22
of children to you know, graphic
and obscene content and it needs
30:26
to be dealt with the problem
that you've got here with with
30:28
Dizzy Safety Commissioner, she's
she's an activist, she will
30:32
continue to expand her role to
police the Internet to sense the
30:36
debate in a way that's
consistent with her own
30:38
ideological views. We're just
talking about the EPA, it's the
30:41
exact exact same problem you
have these unelected bureaucrats
30:44
that have vague powers. And they
will fill it with their with
30:48
their views. And you know, she
has a track record of censorship
30:51
and and only ever targets one
side. And unfortunately, we're
30:54
seeing that happen again.
30:55
Adam Curry: If I can just add
some color to this expos a of
30:58
what's happening in Australia.
When I went up to Dallas from my
31:01
buddies 60th birthday. The end
up there was a travel agent. Now
31:08
she is she has her own travel
agent business. And she booked a
31:13
lot of stuff for us. And she did
it for free. And this friends of
31:16
the family and is really good
because, you know, she gets all
31:18
kinds of benefits, you know,
travel agents work, they, you
31:22
know, they get a piece of the
back end somehow. Edna, so I
31:25
meet her and I knew that she was
Australian, and we're chatting
31:29
as a party. And I say, Wow, man,
you know, I was in Australia in
31:33
1990. And she's from Perth. I
said, you know, Perth was
31:36
beautiful. I really love that.
But man, that country's really
31:39
changed. He goes well, you mean?
I said, Well, ever since you
31:43
took the guns away, we'll do it.
I don't think she's ever going
31:45
to do anything for us. She got
really mad about that. Now it's
31:49
like well, in COVID that was
that it was over. She was really
31:54
defensive about about it, which
to me means she knows she knows
31:58
that something has gone really
arrived. And maybe that's why
32:02
we're not hearing from our from
our Aziz anymore. Tom's weird,
32:07
something's going on.
32:08
John C Dvorak: That's an
interesting anecdote.
32:10
Adam Curry: I think they'd been
been beaten down into
32:12
submission. It's finally
happened and they're
32:14
John C Dvorak: the first year or
two. It can't happen here. Yes,
32:17
it can. Oh, yes, it can. Did
your jaw you talked about as
32:20
Trump farting is the best you
can do.
32:25
Adam Curry: We're lost. We are
so lost. So
32:29
John C Dvorak: let's go with the
safety too. And then this will
32:31
be this is a roundup of the
commentary from unfortunately,
32:35
you don't see who the people are
in that you can't see the Chiron
32:38
but it's I can just tell you,
this is besides Alberni says in
32:42
here. People from both sides of
all political parties are making
32:47
these comments. The entire
country is all in for harsh
32:52
censorship. legal
32:53
Unknown: notices have been
issued to Google meta X,
32:57
Telegram, WhatsApp and Reddit.
Amid a surge in reports of
33:01
harmful content being spread on
the platforms
33:03
John C Dvorak: were prepared to
take whatever action is
33:06
necessary to hold these
companies into line.
33:10
Unknown: So is there a case do
you think for tougher action
33:12
against social media companies?
33:14
No question at all. And I think
there's a bipartisan position in
33:18
relation to this. This
33:19
is exactly as I'd expect from x
or Twitter or whatever the
33:23
whatever you want to call it, a
disregard for the information
33:26
that they pump into our
communities, lies and rumors
33:30
spreading like wildfire. And
then when things go wrong,
33:34
throwing their hands up in the
air to say that they're not
33:36
prepared to do anything about
it. We
33:37
know that the company so we're
seeing some of the comments from
33:40
Elon Musk overnight, so they see
themselves above the law. We've
33:43
had enough
33:44
John C Dvorak: Sydney's had
enough media companies,
33:46
including social media companies
have a responsibility to act. It
33:50
shouldn't need the Safety
Commissioner to intervene. Hmm
33:56
hmm. And that was everybody.
That's everybody from the
34:00
political spectrum left to
right. Well,
34:02
Adam Curry: hold on doesn't
doesn't that kind of fall in
34:04
line with I just said because
people aren't on X, Y, we will
34:07
call the people on X are saying
hey, Australia's crap, they went
34:11
to crap they're lost. Maybe
everybody's offended by that.
34:17
Could be just thank you. So
34:18
John C Dvorak: let's go. Okay,
part two of this clip I think
34:20
brings in Inman grant. And, and
you can hear her and listen to
34:25
her accents because she, she's
introduced and if she's chatting
34:28
right away, and this is not an
Australian accent I can I can
34:32
assure you I don't know what it
is. But it sounds like a
34:35
California girl.
34:36
Unknown: Julie in man grant is
the Safety Commissioner. Well,
34:39
we
34:39
have a range of graduated
powers, powers the civil
34:44
proceedings and we could take
them to court or we could find
34:47
them she
34:48
Adam Curry: has American Cali
Girl Up talk flowers. Yeah,
34:51
she's totally Of course she says
Um, well, what an offense.
34:57
Unknown: Julie in man grant is
the sad Commissioner, well, we
35:01
have a range
35:01
of graduated powers, there could
be civil proceedings, and we
35:06
could take them to court or we
could find them. Of course, the
35:10
quantum of the fine would depend
on the gravity of the non
35:13
compliance. This is where we try
and work with the platforms to
35:16
either voluntarily raise this or
to use our codes and mandatory
35:19
standards to force compliance.
But we can use graduated tools
35:25
like LinkedIn Leisha notices, so
if they fail to remove the
35:28
content, then we can go to the
search engines such as Google or
35:32
Bing to really minimize the
amount of content the
35:36
Australians can see,
35:37
since we'll work with the
Commonwealth Government to pull
35:39
down those pages. But I can't
emphasize enough how difficult
35:43
it is to contain a combustible
situation. When false and
35:47
malicious rumors spread like
wildfire in our community, we
35:51
need to be in a position where
we're dealing with truth the
35:53
nation
35:54
should be from police and law
enforcement authorities. And if
35:58
people have concerns they should
check our websites, our socials
36:02
and any other direct news from
law enforcement about
36:06
information,
36:07
act on advice and information
that's provided by the
36:10
government or the police. So
please be assured that police
36:14
will be the source of truth, and
not social media and
36:17
misinformation.
36:18
And then when it comes to the
misinformation and
36:20
disinformation, the government
does have was working on draft
36:24
laws to try and put in place and
much tougher rules for the
36:29
social media companies. Where
are you at on this? Are you
36:32
prepared to back such laws
36:34
that we are and happy to have a
look at anything the government
36:38
puts forward, as we've said over
the last week, with the
36:41
horrendous things that we've
seen as bad if
36:43
extra Commonwealth laws are
required to take down web pages
36:47
that are inciting and smashing
cohesion in Australia's largest
36:51
city, then that's exactly what
needs to happen
36:53
there more more of this content
is up there. The more that is
36:56
reached shared, the more the
velocity and the virality
36:59
continues. And we need to stem
that
37:01
Adam Curry: velocity and
virality.
37:05
John C Dvorak: But my favorite
quote in that little commentary,
37:09
there was the police is the
source of truth. And that was a
37:14
cop saying that some won't
female police shut up slave
37:19
lease is the source. The police
are the source of truth.
37:23
Adam Curry: I consulted the book
of knowledge, and allow me to
37:27
share what we have learned from
Wikipedia about Julie Inman
37:31
grant. She was born in 1968. In
Seattle, Washington. Ah, there
37:36
you go. The She's an American
public servant who is currently
37:40
serving as the Safety
Commissioner role, which leads
37:43
Australia's independent
regulator for online safety.
37:46
After graduating from university
in early 1990s. Grant was
37:51
offered a position as a Case
Agent with the CIA, but but
37:57
declined the offer. As it meant,
quote, I won't be able to tell
38:01
my friends and family what I was
doing. She subsequently started
38:05
working in the public sector as
a policy advisor for United
38:08
States Congressman John Miller.
And then from 95 to 2000. She
38:12
worked as a Government Affairs
Manager for Microsoft. And then
38:16
she moved to Australia, she
married her now husband, and
38:20
became the Asia Pacific director
of Internet safety, privacy and
38:24
security at Microsoft. So she
glows in the dark.
38:33
John C Dvorak: Yes, and this
spooky thing is interesting,
38:35
because I think, I don't know if
you can tell by seeing what's
38:39
missing from that that to say
that she is actually is working
38:43
for the CIA? Oh, yeah. Clearly
would, she would and the cover
38:47
would be Oh, I refused that job.
Because I wouldn't be able to
38:50
tell my friends what I do. And
then all of a sudden she's
38:54
running security in Australia.
38:56
Adam Curry: She refused. She
only refused the case. Agent Job
38:59
didn't say she refused. CIA
position. Just
39:02
John C Dvorak: case ah, ah,
good. Good catch on the parsing.
39:06
Yes. That's how we do it. That's
how we do it. So that's what's
39:09
going on there. So the CIA is?
Yeah. Okay. So let's go through
39:13
this, the last clip of the
group.
39:16
Unknown: There we go. The Online
Safety Act has significant
39:18
powers. You know, we passed it
when we're in government, and it
39:21
needs to be enforced. It's
39:22
about time that we strengthen
rules in relation to the E
39:26
Safety Commissioner. There's an
39:27
age verification recommended by
the Safety Commissioner from
39:32
2023. We think that's something
that government should pick up.
39:34
So you get out
39:35
why we've just put some very
strong mandatory codes in place
39:38
to encourage companies to do
more.
39:41
If the laws are inadequate, and
they need to be strengthened or
39:43
added to then we would support
any effort from the government
39:46
were
39:47
John C Dvorak: prepared to take
whatever action is necessary to
39:51
hold these companies into law
39:53
Unknown: to really minimize the
amount of content the
39:56
Australians can see. They're
39:58
Adam Curry: going to cut off
their internet They're gonna get
40:01
to kangaroo social media.
40:03
John C Dvorak: I'd like to know
why. What's the big deal? She at
40:08
the end? I think it was the
kicker, she says we have to make
40:11
sure that we we control what
Australians can see,
40:16
Adam Curry: let me just hear
that exact quote again, because
40:18
that is quite beautiful. It's
here again here to hold these
40:22
companies into law
40:24
Unknown: to really minimize the
amount of content the
40:27
Australians can see. minimize
40:29
Adam Curry: the amount of that
goes to show.
40:33
John C Dvorak: This is why Yeah,
it goes to show everybody we
40:36
will be cut off this show, which
does nothing more than analyze
40:40
news stories will be cut off
from Australia as Will everyone
40:45
because they are going there
trying to control the flow of
40:48
information into Australia from
outside sources. Why? I mean,
40:53
what's the end game here besides
just control the a is
40:58
Adam Curry: there any of
population or any other end
41:00
game? That's that is the end
game, isn't it? Just control the
41:03
point
41:04
John C Dvorak: would be, I
guess, because I guess maybe
41:07
we're going to set a basis there
or discuss some do with China.
41:10
There's there's a there's an
underlying reason for this that
41:14
we don't understand. But it has
to No, no. The military
41:17
industrial complex.
41:18
Adam Curry: Well, perhaps, but I
think it's simpler than that.
41:21
Australia was the first one to
they were really the test case.
41:25
Here's your job. Shut up. Stay
home. We're cordoning off you to
41:29
pass to get out of your city.
That's what happened. I think
41:33
this is
41:34
John C Dvorak: they didn't have
they didn't have that little
41:35
element. We keep forgetting
about the past. Yeah.
41:38
Adam Curry: Can we break a
country? Can we break so
41:42
John C Dvorak: you're just
thinking Australia's a giant
41:43
test tube? Yeah,
41:45
Adam Curry: in a way? Sure.
Sure. I mean, if they broke
41:49
Chris Wilson to a degree. That's
a broken man. I've talked to him
41:54
frequently. Not not really
often, but he's like, I'm still
41:58
overboard. And you know, he's
he's just trying to get along
42:02
the broken people there. And
that response I got from the
42:05
travel agent.
42:07
John C Dvorak: That's that
respect is an important story.
42:09
Yeah,
42:10
Adam Curry: it's there's some
there's something something
42:12
really something broke. And they
don't and they they have no, at
42:17
least in America, we think like,
oh, yeah, man, we got guns.
42:21
Okay, sure. Let's go everybody,
you first. We got I got I got
42:28
2000 rounds. But you know, so
that that may be actually quite
42:32
genius, because we just think
that we could always take it
42:35
back. But I don't really see any
evidence that that that there's
42:39
anyone with enough coats bar to
do it on mass mass. However,
42:45
it's gonna get interesting. We
have now in Fredericksburg, the
42:49
heart of the Texas Hill Country,
Trump land travel sign, you now
42:54
entering Trump land. Shaq, Shaq
has now entered our school
43:00
system. S H AC the School Health
Advisory Committee. This is so
43:07
this is Oh, I thought you were
talking about Shaquille O'Neal.
43:09
If only? No, no, this is this is
the outfit. You know, the
43:15
organization. They came from
Austin and they bring in health
43:20
consultants and they put up QR
codes in the school. Hey kids,
43:25
you feel a little gay? Yeah.
And, and the books they put the
43:33
books in the library and so the
ladies got together yes, they
43:37
kudos to the ladies. If these
are books for nine years, nine
43:40
year olds, about you know
jerking off and wet dreams and
43:44
this nine year olds it's
questionable whether schools
43:48
should be teaching children
about anything of this nature.
43:52
John C Dvorak: And they can't
they can't add in
43:55
Adam Curry: what else you're
gonna do I have a mobile play
44:00
with this thing and so they the
women went on mass yesterday and
44:09
and so they they get the gaining
some ground that was there were
44:13
supposed to approve all these
books and they delayed this vote
44:16
and it's they was calm, but I
have a feeling that that it's
44:22
it's going and the whole
44:23
John C Dvorak: idea that this is
that moms for Liberty operation
44:26
right
44:26
Adam Curry: not just no just
just expectant moms parents it's
44:31
for Liberty plus Yes, it's mom's
for Liberty plus
44:33
John C Dvorak: well that's
what's needed everywhere, but
44:35
they'll they'll beat them back
somehow. Well,
44:38
Adam Curry: I'm not so sure. And
it was it was mainly the the
44:41
amount the the number of women
who showed up good you know, it
44:46
was it was just so much and no
one of the school board members
44:51
said to someone we know like,
Hey, you got to keep control
44:54
your group. Like I don't control
anything. This these are
44:58
concerned parents. Yes. Sadly,
because there are people on the
45:02
pro side of this nice not just
you know, there's this a divided
45:05
little city here with less than
a half 1000 people. And they
45:09
believe they've been
propagandized into believing
45:13
that this is a health issue. And
that you know, when your kid is,
45:17
you know, feeling gay or trans
or whatever, that you know, this
45:21
will prevent them from killing
themselves, which of course, we
45:24
know that all of these measures
from the CAS report, it wasn't
45:29
not the CAS. Yeah. Casper, USS
Cass review. I think it is
45:33
John C Dvorak: a review of all
the everything ever printed on
45:37
that
45:37
Adam Curry: all of it is just
not well, not doing well. That
45:41
was good. It's fraud. Yes, it's
a it's a huge fraud. Now, of
45:45
course, the cast review gets
zero attention, because there's
45:49
way too much money involved.
Anyway, so that's playing out
45:54
here in Little Fredericksburg.
It's fascinating. So this this
45:57
is a global push.
46:01
John C Dvorak: Frederick,
Fredericksburg would be a
46:04
target. Because he has course,
because it has its normal
46:10
politics and then the influence
of nearby Austin, which is the
46:15
most influential city in the
entire state. Yes.
46:18
Adam Curry: And of course,
Hollywood. I mean, oh, I think
46:23
the proportion of trans kids in
Hollywood is is way higher than
46:27
than anywhere else in America. I
always have to laugh me see.
46:32
What's her name from the Dr.
Commercial? She has a an adopted
46:38
black son who she dresses in a
in a dress. What's her name
46:42
again?
46:43
Unknown: Yeah, I mean, two
46:44
Adam Curry: kids. It's like what
do you do? She's
46:46
John C Dvorak: got two kids
somehow.
46:49
Adam Curry: Feel what are the
chances? So I mean, in the
46:53
troll, Iran Charlize Theron, the
run
46:55
John C Dvorak: Yeah, she is.
46:57
Adam Curry: But I mean, a lot. A
lot of these women in Hollywood
47:01
have this. It's like, what? What
is going on you? Pet I'm not
47:05
supposed to say Wiccans. I'm so
say witches. Their witches is
47:08
correct. But with the I got the
United States association of
47:12
Wiccans. And that a little
upset. Hey, we're a farm club.
47:15
They
47:15
John C Dvorak: sent you a note.
Yeah,
47:16
Adam Curry: we're a fun loving
group. Let's stop it. Witches.
47:19
Yes, we're against witches, but
we're of the wicked tribe. So
47:23
don't mess with us. I like okay,
all right. Which is ever which
47:27
is it is. But you know, there's
there's stuff ending. It's
47:31
interesting to watch. We have a
particularly I think dei folds
47:35
into this and it is unfolding
before our very eyes. You sent
47:39
me the link that the Women Who
Code organization has folded,
47:45
folded. I mean, they couldn't
they couldn't even keep that
47:49
going. That was a Kara Swisher
or thing, wasn't it.
47:53
John C Dvorak: Women who had
PCOS, it was they started in San
47:56
Francisco in I think 2011. And
then it by 2018. They, I don't
48:02
know why. But they moved to
Atlanta. Which is like, you
48:07
know, if you know, there were
certain there are certain
48:10
geographical areas that you want
to be in because of certain, you
48:14
know, there's, I don't want to
call it a vibe or a milieu or
48:18
whatever it is. But Silicon
Valley, where this actually San
48:22
Francisco, which is not Silicon
Valley Tech, technically, is
48:27
different than Atlanta when it
comes to having the different
48:31
types of people. And so they
moved to Atlanta, which I
48:34
thought was a blunder and then
they had a just in January, they
48:39
hired a new woman who was a dei
specialist. Yes, she had a
48:43
certificate shot, but she's
actually a she was actually kind
48:48
of a chief technical officer
type. Even I would even say
48:52
maybe a bean counter type and
she got a certificate which you
48:56
could get from her I guess the
school she went to and dei and
49:00
she took over the operation in
January and four months later
49:03
folded it would they brought in
some new board members and say
49:06
were this no go raid group
closing down and all the
49:09
individual units were they had
they were trying to confiscate
49:14
their money now there's a big
battle going on. Oh, for the
49:16
money guys trying to get the
chapters. Brother. So and
49:21
there's a couple of tough women
that are involved. You can tell
49:25
because there's different
threads you can follow and say
49:27
wow, this girl's means business.
Yeah. And there is not over.
49:32
Adam Curry: So okay, so Dei,
there you go. Then we have
49:35
another story. This is most
prophecy by the way. The dei is
49:39
unfold. Not at the that Women
Who Code she wasn't she wasn't
49:43
black. She's a white woman.
Deliberately
49:46
John C Dvorak: the new CEO the
DEI, yeah, she's kind of a
49:50
middle aged white woman. Okay.
49:53
Adam Curry: We do have the DEI
official at UCLA School of
49:56
Medicine. Turns out she
massively plagiarize her
49:59
dissertation. mission on D. Dei.
I'm a DI official I plagiarize
50:08
my dissertation on Dei,
terrible. And then big story in
50:13
The New York Times about the
inside the crisis at NPR. And a
50:18
lot of it is, of course, you
know, podcasting. Of course,
50:23
podcasting is a much more
efficient way to distribute
50:27
instead of having expensive
radio stations and you know, you
50:29
need people to run the buildings
and the transmitters. With
50:33
podcasting, they also don't have
to adhere to the underwriting,
50:37
they could just go straight on
ads, which is a big improvement
50:41
for them. But also, there was a
lot of dei stuff. I quote from
50:47
the article. So it came as a
disappointment to some people on
50:50
NPRs board last fall, when they
were presented with new internal
50:54
data showing their efforts
hadn't moved the needle much
50:56
with blackness that Hispanic
listeners, black listeners made
51:00
up roughly 11% of NPRs audience
in the second quarter of 2023,
51:04
unchanged from the same period
and 2020. According to the data.
51:08
The data further show that the
share of Hispanic listeners went
51:11
up only two percentage points
since 2020, to account for 16%
51:14
of the total audience. 120 20
survey from Pew Research found
51:19
that of the people who named NPR
as their main source for
51:22
political and election news 75%
were white, more than any other
51:27
outlet except for Fox News. So
they're literally number two in
51:32
white supremacy. And here's the
is this is the funny thing. So
51:39
this this shows you how these
people were thinking NPRs
51:43
efforts to diversify itself and
its audience didn't always live
51:47
up to the expectations of the
people who work there. During a
51:50
round of layoffs last year, NPR
cut louder than a riot, a hip
51:55
hop podcast that examines black
and queer issues. Okay, let's
51:59
stop right there. Here's the
meeting. Hey, we need to dei and
52:03
diversify. I know black people
like hip hop. Yeah, let's get
52:07
let's find some black queer
people and make a show. G and it
52:11
didn't work. You're kidding,
right?
52:15
John C Dvorak: I mean, so play
this clip was and then continue
52:18
your rant but played his first
escape from last show. So you
52:21
had to look it up his podcast ad
black stories. This is the
52:24
latest NPR attempt to make a
podcast that appeals to blacks
52:29
Unknown: in this country. Some
truths aren't self evident. And
52:33
NPR is black stories, black
truths, a collection of stories
52:37
as wide ranging and real as the
people who tell them we
52:41
celebrate the black experience
for all its soul and richness.
52:46
Search NPR, black stories, black
truths. wherever you get
52:50
podcasts. Oh,
52:51
Adam Curry: goodness. Yeah. No
wonder this fails. Guess it may
52:54
come as a surprise to you. NPR.
Black people don't even want to
52:58
be seen as black people. They're
just Americans. They're
53:01
interested in stuff, but you're
pandering.
53:05
John C Dvorak: pandering. We
worry. That's the word of the
53:08
day. pandering.
53:09
Adam Curry: It's creepy. just
creepy. Like da. I wonder that
53:14
didn't work. And now I've now
just like this E Safety Lady
53:17
that bringing in some spook here
to run the NP Rs. Oh, yeah. What
53:22
do you give her? Six months?
What do you think? How long does
53:26
it woohoo, there's
53:26
John C Dvorak: a dead Deadpool
Deadpool, Deadpool,
53:29
Adam Curry: NPR, Deadpool. What
do you what do you good
53:32
question. What do you give her?
What do you give her? I can't
53:34
give her more than six months.
It just seems like I mean,
53:37
they're gonna because they do
quarterly reporting. It's gonna
53:39
suck. And you know, that was
since 2020 22. I was well, by
53:45
the
53:45
John C Dvorak: way just to be
before I want you to continue.
53:47
But before that guy Yuri, that
wrote that piece that got fired,
53:52
basically, yeah. Because of
this. He wrote a piece in
53:56
between the two CEOs hoping that
he would, you know, achieve
53:59
favor with a newcomer coming in.
But when she came in, she got
54:03
rid of him because she's like
any other. You know, some well,
54:06
that troublemaker get him out
that chopper? Yes, of course.
54:10
And so she got rid of him that I
think is going to come back to
54:12
bite her in the acid that will
affect the timeline of her
54:16
disappearance, too, and I think
it will negatively show thank
54:21
you. I think you was shortened
to me as six months. I'm going
54:26
to give her a year.
54:29
Adam Curry: Well, she had she'll
have a year contract at least
54:31
here's the here's the stat. NPR
still has an audience of about
54:35
42 million who listen every
week, many of them digitally
54:39
which is down from an estimated
60 million in 2020. So even
54:44
though they went all in on
podcast, they still lost 18
54:49
million listeners
54:50
John C Dvorak: and then she
intimidates a lot. And
54:53
Adam Curry: then okay, so talk
about your value for value.
54:55
These people are such idiots.
Hold on a second. They, whereas
55:02
it, they put together a podcast
subscription service. Here it is
55:10
the adoption of NPRs podcast
subscription bundle. Bundle
55:15
bundle NPR plus has also lagged
behind competitors subscription
55:20
business, according to internal
documents obtained by The Times
55:25
nice hit job times 51,000 people
subscribed to NPR plus as of
55:30
March, early March, this is
since 2022. And they've done
55:36
about 1.7 million in revenue.
That's a failed product, if
55:42
you've got 60 mil Okay, let's
say 42 million listeners, and
55:46
you do a subscription bundle.
And only 51,000 people sign up
55:51
for it. That's a that's a big
fail.
55:55
John C Dvorak: Well, it either
that was a big fail and under
55:58
any circumstances, but it also
indicates to me, the podcast is
56:02
broken. No, it indicates to me
that their numbers are not
56:08
accurate. What do you mean, the
big number, the big number of
56:13
taking a percentage of the big
number which
56:15
Adam Curry: is what? Yeah,
56:16
John C Dvorak: the million? No,
they don't have that's bull
56:19
crap. They only have 52,000
people that are subscribing.
56:23
Yeah, that 50 to that 50 million
is bogus. They're probably have
56:28
a few million maybe. And they're
double counting, triple
56:34
counting, quadruple counting.
They're fudging the number.
56:36
Yeah, to make it look like
there's more there that but then
56:39
they screw themselves. Because
in any sort of situation where
56:43
you're doing. You're trying to
get funds from an x from
56:49
eyeballs. So you have your
eyeballs and you have the money
56:51
coming from the eyeballs. The
percentages are well known to
56:55
everybody who does that kind of
work. And the numbers that
56:58
you're expressing do not match.
I'm with you.
57:00
Adam Curry: I'm with you. I'm
with you. So
57:02
John C Dvorak: they're full of
it. They're lying. I want to
57:06
Adam Curry: get into some of the
protests. And I'll just have one
57:09
clip to start off with and then
you can take it away. I've see
57:11
you have a couple of clips.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen you got
57:14
climene I got clips. But again,
you got clips. You always want
57:17
to play clips. You
57:18
John C Dvorak: got clip clips,
we
57:19
Adam Curry: got clips. So these
something not you not blaming
57:24
you, but something is knocking
against your microphone. I don't
57:27
know. Well, no,
57:28
John C Dvorak: I know exactly
what it is. Okay, it's not it's
57:30
not knocking against the
microphone. It's not you just
57:32
have to tell you that I know I
can fix it. I just haven't been
57:35
able to
57:38
Adam Curry: blame you. I know
it's mad. It's coming from
57:40
yours. I can only rooms
57:43
John C Dvorak: it's it's it's a
high. It's it's a long story. I
57:48
won't bother you if it was a mic
bump, it would sound like this.
57:51
Which by the way, somebody said
that if I did that, they'd say
57:54
donate. I just did it. It again.
I mean to donations. Thank
57:59
Adam Curry: you. It's more of
the sound. It's more like that.
58:02
Yeah, well,
58:03
John C Dvorak: I know what it
is. I did sorry.
58:04
Adam Curry: Okay. And you know
what we don't want to know. But
58:07
you don't want to know, we don't
want to know what it is. I just
58:10
want to point it out. Okay, so
these kids who are protesting
58:16
and all the universities. So
there's a couple things going
58:20
on. First, some observations. I
see a lot of the same green
58:24
tents. That's just an
observation, everybody, the same
58:28
green tent. So there's as
obviously as clearly organized.
58:33
There was I got a short little
clip you may have seen this one
58:37
from NYU, where there's a couple
of protesters. And and by the
58:42
way, what's with the masks? Are
they afraid of COVID Still,
58:47
John C Dvorak: yeah, yeah. This
is how smart they are. They're
58:50
all they're all wearing a
calendar wearing Spanish flu
58:55
Adam Curry: as something's going
on. And so this is one girl and
58:58
she's she's mildly cute, you
know, and she's doozy. gastic
59:02
although she has loved this
clip, she has this nose ring
59:04
which I just want to clip a dog
leash to right away. She does
59:07
that with my daughter if she
came home with that ring like
59:09
click okay, come on. And she and
her compatriots there are
59:14
clueless and what would you say
is the main goal with tonight's
59:18
protests?
59:18
Unknown: I think the goal is
showing our support for
59:21
Palestine and demanding that and
I honestly don't know is there
59:26
something that NYU is doing? I
really don't I'm pretty sure
59:29
there about Israel protesting
here that was more educated. I
59:41
was there so I came down and I
heard there's lots of cops are
59:49
saying
59:49
Adam Curry: it was okay, so I
should really I'd like to be
59:53
more educated so they are
undereducated and over
59:56
socialized which is what we saw
with the BLM riots and boy
1:00:00
didn't that turn out to be a big
farce a big phony, a big money
1:00:03
grab a big write off for
hundreds of millions of dollars
1:00:07
for corporate America. But
they're really not like we hate
1:00:11
Jews. We hate Jews. There's no
anti semitism going on. I've
1:00:15
looked at, you know, not ours,
but I've looked at a lot of
1:00:18
footage. No, there's a couple of
Ajaan provocateurs, particularly
1:00:24
in New York to some dude is
like, watch me I've got a
1:00:26
yarmulke. And in Israel flag,
it's it's almost like memory
1:00:29
Kentucky Fried movie. There's
this fantasy that does. That
1:00:33
thrill seeker thing was the
thrill seeker guy for the
1:00:36
Kentucky Fried movie. If you
haven't seen it, it's almost
1:00:39
required watching although I'm
sure very, very dated. And he
1:00:42
would have got a crash helmet on
and a cape. And there were a
1:00:46
bunch of black guys playing
craps on the street and he went
1:00:48
right in the middle of them and
he yells the N word, which back
1:00:51
then you could still say and and
that was you know, that's how
1:00:56
dumb this is like, Oh, well,
this guy is wearing his Israel
1:00:59
flag. Well, of course you're
gonna get people yelling at you
1:01:02
but in general there's all these
tents and like Jews for
1:01:06
Palestine we love Jews, you
know, all of that stuff. There's
1:01:09
no one is being anti semitic
except the politicians. Good
1:01:15
Unknown: morning. There is
another demonstration expected
1:01:17
here later today. The Texas
State Employees Union had
1:01:20
planned a demonstration for a
while in support of staff
1:01:23
associated with dei Pro.
1:01:25
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is kind
of interesting. That's an aside
1:01:29
and kind of a follow on UT
Austin just fired all of their
1:01:33
dei people so So on one hand
they they're like, Oh, we better
1:01:37
get rid of this. This is not
good. We dei is collapsing. And
1:01:40
they probably have a bunch of
these. I don't know plagiarize
1:01:44
errs in there like because it's
close to division. So it was
1:01:48
already tense
1:01:49
Unknown: as union had planned a
demonstration for a while in
1:01:51
supportive staff associated with
dei programs who are now losing
1:01:55
their job here on campus, but
now, student groups say that
1:01:58
they will join them in another
walkout in the first walkout
1:02:02
that they called for yesterday,
ended up being chaotic. The
1:02:06
student Palestine Solidarity
committee had planned this
1:02:08
walkout the university had told
them the event would not be
1:02:12
approved saying that there's a
time and place for everything,
1:02:14
but that they couldn't disrupt
campus with final exams next
1:02:17
week. Well, UT police and Texas
DPS they were ready and they
1:02:21
quickly issue orders for the
crowd to disperse. They started
1:02:24
pushing groups back off the main
lawn and when demonstrators
1:02:27
would not leave. They started
making arrests this morning,
1:02:30
Texas DPS as law enforcement on
campus made 34 arrests, and
1:02:35
there was immediately a public
call for protesters to then call
1:02:38
the jail and demand their
release and begin raising money
1:02:42
for bail. Governor Greg Abbott
immediately back the strong
1:02:45
response posting this on acts as
the demonstration was happening.
1:02:49
These protesters belong in jail,
anti semitism will not be
1:02:53
tolerated in Texas period.
Students joining in hate filled
1:02:57
anti semitic protests at any
public college or university in
1:03:02
Texas should be expelled.
1:03:04
Adam Curry: This is bullcrap.
That's that's our governor
1:03:08
saying, oh, anti semitism. No.
This is the idea.
1:03:12
John C Dvorak: I think people
out there should be reminded
1:03:14
that Greg Abbott is the governor
of Texas. This is disliked by
1:03:20
you. He's a globe because you
think he's a big phony. He's
1:03:23
Adam Curry: a big phony
globalist he gets a pass because
1:03:26
of wheelchair. Yeah. But we're
not. We're on to you, Abbott.
1:03:31
No, he's a phony. Just phony
things at the border with a
1:03:34
phony Little Eagle Pass, bro.
Here's offense. Oh, we're gonna
1:03:38
stop here. We got Forward
Operating Base. Now you're done.
1:03:41
He's a phony. He's a big phony.
And now and here he is ginning
1:03:46
it up. Janet. Oh, it's empty. Is
Deutsche Avella to add to it.
1:03:50
Unknown: This is definitely a
nationwide topic you just
1:03:52
mentioned the White House. We
also had the Secretary of
1:03:55
Education who weighed in here
say that what he has seen on
1:03:59
campus is it's a disgrace the
White House a press release that
1:04:02
they send out saying that anti
semitism has no space not only
1:04:06
in any college across the
country, but also anywhere. And
1:04:09
as we who are also the concerns
of Jewish students but also a
1:04:13
faculty members are rabid close
to the university even told
1:04:16
Jewish students to stay away.
But there it's important to make
1:04:20
a difference between the
protesters protesting inside the
1:04:22
university but also also when we
came here earlier today we were
1:04:26
hearing is some chance also some
people were here is saying and
1:04:29
rejecting a two state solution
quite different to the chance
1:04:32
that we're here in cyber we can
imagine that this will still
1:04:35
develop as we see more and more
universities more of this
1:04:38
protest also happening across
the country.
1:04:40
Adam Curry: Again that just
parroting whatever the CIA told
1:04:43
them because this this is a scam
they're setting it up and making
1:04:46
it look like these kids hate
Jews. It's not this is not what
1:04:50
it's blatantly false because
that's not what the chants are.
1:04:54
There's none of that it's pro
Palestine, BDS You know,
1:05:00
boycott, divest and divest and
sanction they want the
1:05:04
universities to no longer invest
in Israel whatever but but stop
1:05:09
the genocide but they're not
saying we hate Jews that just
1:05:12
not it and even Mike Johnson was
doing Do you have that on your I
1:05:15
John C Dvorak: had the Mike
Johnson clip.
1:05:17
Adam Curry: Let me see where is
it? There Mike Johnson that
1:05:20
would make sense. Here we have
Columbia House Speaker
1:05:22
Unknown: Mike Johnson in New
York City today meeting with
1:05:25
students as he calls for
Columbia University's president
1:05:28
to resign. And Denise White
House correspondent Iris Tao was
1:05:32
at the speaker's press
conference after meeting with
1:05:35
Columbia University's president
minutiae feet here on campus
1:05:38
House Speaker Mike Johnson says
she needs to step down and she's
1:05:41
too weak and protecting Jewish
religion
1:05:43
is that they have not acted to
restore order on the campus.
1:05:46
This is dangerous. This is not
free, free expression. This is
1:05:49
not First Amendment they are
threatening intimidating. Saying
1:05:54
that they will take violence
upon Jewish students we met with
1:05:56
Jewish students who are in fear,
they can't come on campus.
1:06:01
Meanwhile, Johnson was booed by
pro Palestinian protesters
1:06:05
during his press conference.
Though he responded with a blunt
1:06:09
message does
1:06:10
not matter who shouts in our
faces, we're gonna do what is
1:06:13
right by America, my message to
the students inside the
1:06:15
encampment is get go back to
class and stop the nonsense.
1:06:19
Stop wasting your parents money.
1:06:21
Adam Curry: And Johnson says you
also pro that's by the way, just
1:06:24
as a nice stop that for a second
that was edited together because
1:06:28
I saw the whole thing and he's
up there and some dude next to
1:06:32
him, some Texas Congressman said
Stop wasting your parents money
1:06:36
and he said yeah, stop wasting
your parents money. That's what
1:06:39
the Congressman just said. They
cut that out of this report.
1:06:42
That's interesting. Go back to
class and
1:06:44
Unknown: stop that nonsense.
Stop wasting your parents money.
1:06:48
Adam Curry: I said it. Yeah,
it's a good edit. But it's their
1:06:51
Unknown: plans to call President
Biden tell him what he's seen
1:06:54
here and also demand him take
executive action to address
1:06:57
this. President Biden on Monday
said he condemns anti semitic
1:07:00
protests but also condensed
those who don't understand
1:07:03
what's going on with the
Palestinians. Former President
1:07:06
Trump says Biden does not know
who he's backing. All this as
1:07:10
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
and Yahoo on Wednesday, call the
1:07:13
situation on American college
campuses horrific.
1:07:17
What's happening on America's
college campuses? Is a rift is
1:07:21
horrific. This is
1:07:25
Adam Curry: perfect. All right.
So interesting. I have a
1:07:27
different clip of Mike Johnson.
And it's funny that he starts to
1:07:31
say this is not free speech.
What is he talking about? He's
1:07:35
that's that's the literal
expression of free speech.
1:07:39
John C Dvorak: And he when I saw
the way I saw another one, this
1:07:42
is million clips of him. But
first of all, let's start with
1:07:45
the fact that he's showboating.
There's no reason for Mike
1:07:49
Johnson go to Columbia. Yeah.
Oh, really? There's no reason
1:07:54
for Mike Johnson to GoJek is the
speaker of the house. Why is he
1:07:58
at Columbia, he's just to show
up the fact that Biden will go
1:08:02
or Biden can figure out where it
is. Yeah, whatever
1:08:06
Adam Curry: it because he's
nailed. He's being blackmailed.
1:08:08
They got him. They got him. And
now Hey, hey, little boy, go to
1:08:15
New York and say something. Talk
anti Jew stuff?
1:08:20
John C Dvorak: Well, it's
probably somebody that what
1:08:22
you're saying is that there's a
narrative that's been created by
1:08:25
a third party and he is now a
student? He's a
1:08:28
Adam Curry: student? Yes. He's
just well remember, he signed
1:08:30
the EA Sports Bill said he would
never sign ever. Yeah, let me
1:08:34
play this clip. Because there's
some different stuff in here.
1:08:36
Unknown: We are standing here
right now in the steps of the
1:08:38
low library, in this very
building right behind us.
1:08:42
Columbia University once awarded
Winston Churchill, an honorary
1:08:45
degree. And it was Churchill who
said, it is manifestly right,
1:08:49
that Jews should have a national
home where they may be reunited.
1:08:54
We believe in that principle.
And today, I'm here to proclaim
1:08:58
to all those who gnashed their
teeth and demand to wipe
1:09:01
Adam Curry: the state of Oh, do
you hear what he said there? To
1:09:06
those who gnashed their teeth
that's like a biblical thing.
1:09:09
He's that's the Vert. You want
to hear virtue virtue signal?
1:09:11
That's a virtue of gnashing of
teeth?
1:09:15
John C Dvorak: Well, he would we
would make sense from him. Yeah.
1:09:17
But
1:09:17
Adam Curry: that's weak. That's
that's really weak.
1:09:19
Unknown: We believe in that
principle. And today, I'm here
1:09:22
to proclaim to all those who
gnashed their teeth and demand
1:09:26
to wipe
1:09:27
John C Dvorak: out against it is
there is the reference to
1:09:30
panties in a bunch would that Is
that Biblical to
1:09:33
Unknown: it is now civil. And
today, I'm here to proclaim to
1:09:37
all those who gnashed their
teeth and demand to wipe the
1:09:40
State of Israel off the map and
attack our innocent Jewish
1:09:44
students. This simple truth.
Neither Israel nor these Jewish
1:09:49
students on this campus will
ever stand alone. Today, Hamas
1:09:55
issued an endorsement statement
of the protesters on this campus
1:09:58
they called them the future
leaders of them America is
1:10:01
detestable. This has to be said
because the cherished traditions
1:10:05
of this university are being
overtaken right now by radical
1:10:08
and extreme ideologies. They
place a target on the backs of
1:10:11
Jewish students in the United
States and here on this campus,
1:10:15
a growing number of students
have chanted in support of
1:10:18
terrorist. They have chased down
Jewish students. They have
1:10:22
mocked them in the reviled them.
They have shouted racial ethnic
1:10:24
epithets. I haven't seen that
they have screamed at those who
1:10:28
bear bear the Star of David.
Enjoy your free speech. Told you
1:10:38
as students who were the Star of
David to leave the country, and
1:10:41
shamefully some professors and
faculty have joined the mobs.
1:10:45
Things have gotten so out of
control that the schools
1:10:47
canceled in person classes. And
now they've come up with this
1:10:50
hybrid model, where they will
discriminate against Jewish
1:10:53
students, they are not allowed
to come to class anymore for
1:10:56
fear of their lives. And it's
detestable, as Colombia has
1:11:00
allowed these lawless agitators
and radicals to take over. The
1:11:04
virus of anti semitism is spread
across other campuses, by some
1:11:08
counts as many as 200
universities have a similar form
1:11:11
of protest right now.
1:11:13
Adam Curry: So this guy has
really lost the plot and I think
1:11:18
that I got this clip here. This
is from NBC. The threatening of
1:11:25
Johnson which he is responding
to whatever they threatened him
1:11:28
with. Whether it's like if you
don't if you don't bring this to
1:11:32
the floor if you don't vote for
the you don't get this past man,
1:11:35
then you know America's gonna
die or you're gonna die or or
1:11:40
no, or we may reveal some
photos, we may show some photos.
1:11:45
You're still on that this I give
it a 10% possibility, but it's
1:11:48
possible.
1:11:49
John C Dvorak: You can give it
any possibility you want, but it
1:11:51
seems the easiest way to do it.
Yeah. Well listen
1:11:54
Unknown: to this report from
NBC. Tonight with Ukraine
1:11:56
struggling to fend off Russia's
relentless military assault. New
1:12:00
American weapons are finally on
the way after President Biden
1:12:03
signed that nearly $100 billion
dollar foreign aid
1:12:06
John C Dvorak: package was a
good day for
1:12:08
Unknown: world peace. It's gonna
make America safer.
1:12:10
Adam Curry: And by the way,
that's the quote 100 billion
1:12:14
dollars in weapons. It's a good
day for peace.
1:12:18
Unknown: Peace world, America
safer. Yeah, it's gonna make the
1:12:21
world safer. announcement comes
1:12:22
after a six bill on White House
effort to approve more aid the
1:12:26
delay caused by conservative
Republicans who threatened to
1:12:29
oust House Speaker Mike Johnson
if he supported it. Multiple
1:12:32
officials tell NBC News the
president broke the logjam by
1:12:35
directing aides to court
Johnson, privately making clear
1:12:39
to him the consequences of
inaction.
1:12:41
Adam Curry: And he had an oval
meeting. That's what happened.
1:12:44
They brought it was the
1:12:46
John C Dvorak: what what was the
vote when they did the final
1:12:49
vote? I think there was
something like 100 Republicans
1:12:51
that voted for that. Well,
1:12:53
Adam Curry: that's part of the
whole distraction that the
1:12:55
Republicans are doing No,
listen, listen, look. The whole
1:12:59
point is look, focus on Mike
Johnson focus on Mike Johnson.
1:13:03
Please don't look at your
representatives who voted for
1:13:06
it. That's the point
1:13:08
John C Dvorak: all Johnson was
doing was keeping it from from
1:13:11
the floor. Doing these, these
Republicans have favor and if he
1:13:17
is finally badgered into putting
it to the to a vote yes. And
1:13:21
ended Republicans sold their own
people out. He was if it wasn't
1:13:26
for all the Republicans that
voted for it, it wouldn't have
1:13:28
passed has nothing to do with
Mike Johnson.
1:13:31
Adam Curry: No, but that's why
they're all focused on him focus
1:13:34
on Him, not on us. Because and
I'm gonna go there. These people
1:13:38
did indeed receive a lot of
money. And I'm talking Rubio,
1:13:42
McCall, these are not Jews, by
the way. They all got money from
1:13:46
AIPAC and I decided, You know
what, I'm gonna go look at this
1:13:48
AIPAC outfit. And AIPAC is a
501. C four, which means they're
1:13:54
a lobbying organization. And I'm
like, Well, where does that
1:13:58
money come from? Of course, no
one has to disclose this. And
1:14:02
then I find it they get their
money from the AI E F. Ever
1:14:07
heard of them? No, no, no,
neither at IAEIF at a
1:14:12
EIFD en.org is the America
Israel Education Foundation, the
1:14:18
charitable and literate, they
have a one page website, one
1:14:21
page, the charitable
organization affiliated with
1:14:27
AIPAC, so and their 501 C three.
So when you donate to them, this
1:14:32
is what we call a cut out when
you donate to them. You get a
1:14:35
tax write off and they then ship
all that money over to AIPAC.
1:14:40
And wouldn't you know it?
Lockheed Martin $1.9 million
1:14:44
dollars north of Grumman $1.253
million, General Atomics $1.229
1:14:51
million. This is how it works.
The defense contractors donate
1:14:56
to a EIF a EIF said $35 million.
And this 2019 numbers because
1:15:03
very because, you know, they
don't have to report either. So
1:15:06
I'm just getting stuff that has
been reverse engineered on the
1:15:09
internet, you know, from open
secrets type places. That's how
1:15:13
the money flows. And then you
can always say, is the juice.
1:15:18
But no.
1:15:20
John C Dvorak: And unless the
Jews are running Lockheed
1:15:22
Martin, I don't think so.
1:15:25
Adam Curry: If you look at the
board of directors of AI, F,
1:15:29
it's three times as long as
APAC, APAC is that's all your
1:15:33
your Jewish names? Oh, yes. Oh,
you were doing it here and boy,
1:15:37
voted for Israel. But AI F.
That's where all the contractors
1:15:40
are on the board. And so I did
the unthinkable. Oh, I did the
1:15:47
unthinkable. I went and marked
up all 270 pages of this bill.
1:15:55
This is a procurement bill.
That's what this is. I'm just
1:16:01
going to run through. What's
interesting is that this bill is
1:16:07
entitled as an act to amend
title 38 us not United States
1:16:10
Code to make certain
improvements relating to the
1:16:13
eligibility of veterans to
receive reimbursements for
1:16:16
emergency treatment furnish
through the veterans community
1:16:19
care program. And for other
purposes. It's always fun to see
1:16:23
it they take they take a bill
that's already on the floor
1:16:25
that's gone through the to the
basic stuff, and then they just
1:16:29
rip it all out and replace it.
And this thing is amazing. It
1:16:34
consists of a couple of
divisions Israel's security
1:16:37
supplemental appropriations act
Ukraine security, simple
1:16:41
supplemental appropriations act,
Indo Pacific security
1:16:46
supplemental appropriation
Appropriations Act, the century
1:16:49
peace through strength act,
couldn't be more Orwellian
1:16:55
century peace 20 I'm sorry, 21st
century peace through strength,
1:16:59
the fend Act which is fend off
fentanyl, the rebuilding
1:17:05
economic prosperity and
opportunity for Ukrainians x.
1:17:08
That's that's a big slush fund.
Then we have protecting
1:17:12
Americans from foreign adversary
controlled applications that you
1:17:16
tick tock act. Then we have the
ship X The Fight Crime Act, the
1:17:21
Masha act. There's a whole bunch
of stuff in here, but I just
1:17:24
want to rattle off some numbers.
I know how to read these things
1:17:27
by now. So we start with
Department of Defense operations
1:17:31
and maintenance $4.4 billion
transferred to the accounts
1:17:37
under the heading operation and
maintenance, procurement, and
1:17:41
revolving and management funds.
So that's not going to Ukraine.
1:17:47
But the Secretary of Defense
will notify the congressional
1:17:49
defense committees of the
details of such transfers. So
1:17:53
that a determination that all or
part of the funds transferred
1:17:55
from this appropriation are not
necessarily for the purposes
1:17:58
provided here in so he can do
whatever he wants with it. No
1:18:02
wonder they replace them. Then
we have it divided procurement
1:18:06
of ammunition for the army $801
million to respond to the
1:18:12
situation in Israel and other
uses. Defense wide $5.2 billion
1:18:19
to respond to the situation
Israel and for related expenses.
1:18:23
4 billion given to the Secretary
of Defense to provide for the
1:18:26
Government of Israel for
procurement, ie buying from us
1:18:30
for the Iron Dome, David sling,
short range rockets. 1.2 billion
1:18:35
will be for the procurement of
the iron beam defense. So that's
1:18:39
just being spent on us. Then
they have some defense
1:18:42
production act stuff in there.
190 8 million is not that
1:18:45
interesting, but then we go to
additional 2.4 for the
1:18:50
Department of Defense for
transfer to military personnel
1:18:54
accounts operation and
maintenance and procurement.
1:18:57
Defense working capital funds,
it's not going anywhere. It's
1:19:01
not going to Ukraine, or Israel
or anywhere. Then we have titled
1:19:05
to Department of Homeland
Security. We throw them $10
1:19:09
million dollars just for
operations, FEMA, FEMA, do they
1:19:14
operate in the Ukraine FEMA,
FEMA 390,000,200 and 30 million
1:19:21
for nonprofit security grant
program to eligible nonprofit
1:19:26
organizations to prevent,
prepare for protect against and
1:19:29
respond to acts of terrorism to
nonprofits. This is dynamite.
1:19:37
Then we and
1:19:38
John C Dvorak: then to the if
you're on the other end of the
1:19:40
tit thrilled Of
1:19:41
Adam Curry: course then the
Department of State 100 50
1:19:43
million just to fly around 100
million for security worldwide
1:19:48
security. They will get 4
million to the odd the Office of
1:19:51
the Inspector General to oversee
everything, then to the
1:19:55
diplomatic and consular
services. 50 million for general
1:19:59
stuff case needed fly on jets
jets, I guess you mostly jets,
1:20:03
mostly jets, bilateral economic
assistance $5.6 billion to
1:20:10
address humanitarian needs.
Emergency Food and Shelter of
1:20:14
vulnerable populations and
communities doesn't specify just
1:20:19
5.6 billion. And then my
favorite Department of State
1:20:23
Migration and Refugee Assistance
$3.495 billion for humanitarian
1:20:29
needs of vulnerable populations
to come in through the southern
1:20:32
border. Yeah, I mean, this is
literally
1:20:36
John C Dvorak: a $10,000 credit
card. Yes. Here you have come on
1:20:40
welcome mirror. It's not you.
You're not a $10,000 credit
1:20:43
card. Yeah. And there are guys
that we know for a fact because
1:20:47
they've said so have come in,
grabbed a credit card escaped
1:20:51
out of the country, and come
back in again. Oh, to get a
1:20:56
second credit card Eva, Phoebe
knows. Yes. Okay,
1:20:59
Adam Curry: baby. Okay. Then, in
case someone has some issues,
1:21:05
we're gonna give away three and
a half billion dollars for
1:21:07
foreign military financing. You
know, hey, you need financing.
1:21:11
We can give you a lease on this
stuff. We have financing
1:21:15
available. I mean, literally
with 5 million Hey, Phoebe
1:21:18
coming with 5 million for the
sales department. Expenses for
1:21:24
general costs of address of
administering military
1:21:27
assistance and sales. They've
even got the salespersons in
1:21:31
there. Tila Yeah, Phoebe Come
here. Let me skip ahead here.
1:21:37
There's a couple other things
because then we get into my
1:21:40
fifth Pheebs Come here, baby.
Come here. US youth Pheebs
1:21:44
fevers, US AI D $3 million for
monitoring of assistance made
1:21:50
available for Gaza. So we give
we gave give both sides some
1:21:53
money. Go look, go make sure
that the missiles hit right.
1:21:55
Here's $3 million. Go monitor.
Then we have Okay, now we go to
1:22:02
Ukraine. This is great. For
Military Department of Defense
1:22:06
for military personnel. 207
million, that's our people were
1:22:09
paying them military for the
Marine Corps. $3.358 million for
1:22:15
our Marines. 23 million for the
Air Force, 4 million for Space
1:22:21
Force, Phoebe Space Force, Space
Force. operation and maintenance
1:22:27
for the army $4.8 billion to
respond to the situation in
1:22:31
Ukraine and for related
expenses, provided that such
1:22:36
amount is designated by Congress
as for being for an emergency
1:22:39
requirement pursuant to this
section, so they're just gonna
1:22:42
hold on to it. We give that
slush money. It's called Oh,
1:22:46
it's all slush, money, operation
and maintenance for the Navy.
1:22:49
are we sending the Navy to
Ukraine 976 million, the Marine
1:22:54
Corps 69 million. And they just
this is it just keeps on going.
1:23:00
But here's the I love this one.
General operation and
1:23:04
maintenance defense wides $27.9
billion to spend to respond to
1:23:10
the situation Ukraine and for
related expenses. So this is a
1:23:15
huge procurement bill, which
means buying stuff and I go on
1:23:19
and on but I want to get to the
Navy because the Navy has
1:23:25
weapons procurement 706 million
to respond to the situation in
1:23:30
Ukraine because you know, the
Navy's got to be there. Other
1:23:33
procurement 26 million just in
case you need it. Let's get to
1:23:37
the submarines await for the Air
Force $3.2 billion research and
1:23:45
development we need some
research and development 80
1:23:49
million for who was that for for
to remain available to respond
1:23:54
to the situation in Ukraine.
That's for the army. The Navy
1:23:59
gets 13 million for research and
development and for testing. Air
1:24:04
Force 406 million. I mean, this
is bull crap. That's absolute
1:24:09
bull crap. But then they added
the cool things down at the
1:24:11
bottom here. They got some
nuclear stuff in there. Oh, here
1:24:17
it is. This I love this title to
Department of Energy programs
1:24:21
for an additional amount for
science $98 million. It
1:24:25
literally says science in the
bill in quotes for an additional
1:24:30
amount for science. What does
that even mean? That's code.
1:24:35
John C Dvorak: If it's in
quotes, it's code but which code
1:24:38
for
1:24:38
Adam Curry: something we don't
know. And then we go back to
1:24:40
Department of Health and Human
Services
1:24:42
John C Dvorak: it could be
hookers MMA.
1:24:45
Adam Curry: I love it loses
science and quote could be your
1:24:48
right could be hookers and blow
the Department of Health and
1:24:51
Human Services 481 million for
refugee and entrant assistance
1:24:55
activities. What? A half a
billion dollars. dollars to help
1:25:00
more people come in.
1:25:02
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's the
ones they're flying in.
1:25:04
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Precisely.
All right, we go down to that,
1:25:11
well, then the President gets
30 $39 million to throw around
1:25:15
for general expenses. The here's
the economic support fund, this
1:25:22
is the real money that is going
to quote unquote, Ukraine $7.89
1:25:27
billion. But that is going into
the Ukraine fund. You see,
1:25:33
that's where everybody is going
to be sucking off of that money,
1:25:36
the Freedom Support Act and seed
the support for East European
1:25:40
Democracy Act, they put that
money in there. And then you go
1:25:44
there with your little
nonprofit. And that's where you
1:25:47
get. That's, that's where you
get some money from, and I'm
1:25:51
sure Zelinsky and all those guys
get from that money, then
1:25:54
they've got more loan guarantees
that we put in there. This, this
1:25:58
was fun. They changed some words
around and so now money instead
1:26:04
of going to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization,
1:26:07
organization, NATO and its
allies, it now can go to North
1:26:11
Atlantic Treaty Organization,
allies, major non NATO allies,
1:26:16
and the Indo Pacific region $8
billion was 4 billion they
1:26:21
doubled it to 8 billion, and now
they can give it to anybody they
1:26:24
want even a non NATO ally.
That's probably Taiwan, I'm
1:26:30
guessing. Then on page 55, there
was no I'm almost done here,
1:26:36
page 55. There was something
interesting. On page 55, where
1:26:44
this is about the what do you
call those attack comes? This is
1:26:50
a big thing in the news. The
that's the 300 mile army
1:26:56
tactical missile systems. So
yeah, okay, so this bill, as
1:27:04
soon as practicable after the
date of enactment of this
1:27:07
division, the president shall
transfer long range army
1:27:10
tactical missile systems to the
Government of Ukraine, that's
1:27:13
the attacker comes to assist the
Government of Ukraine in
1:27:16
defending itself and achieving
victory against the Russian
1:27:20
Federation. Notification. If the
President determines that
1:27:24
executive, the transfer of long
range army tactical missile
1:27:27
systems to the Government of
Ukraine pursuant to subsection A
1:27:30
will be detrimental to the
national security interest of
1:27:32
the United States, the President
may withhold such transfer. So
1:27:37
this is just they're just going
to hold this intel, because it's
1:27:41
always going to be it's always
gonna be dangerous. We'll see if
1:27:44
they actually send them over.
And so then they probably won't.
1:27:50
I don't think so either. Okay,
so then we go to the submarines
1:27:53
$1.9 billion to respond to the
situation in Taiwan, for
1:27:59
operation and maintenance
procurement of submarines. We
1:28:04
add to that $2.1 billion for
submarine bases. additional
1:28:11
money, 1.9 billion for the
Columbia class submarine and 200
1:28:15
million a 200 million for the
Virginia class submarine. So
1:28:19
that's your pivot to the Indo
Pacific. And I'll skip
1:28:22
everything else. It's all marked
up in the show notes. But at the
1:28:25
very bottom, we have my
favorite, which is the repo Act,
1:28:35
the repo act. This is the
rebuilding economic prosperity
1:28:43
and opportunity for Ukraine's
act. And this is where we get to
1:28:48
take the Russian money. And so
it's clearly spelled out there's
1:28:53
$300 billion of Russian money in
the system. 190 billion is in
1:28:58
Belgium through Euro clear, we
have about I think 10 billion or
1:29:04
15 billion that is within within
our purview. And this authorizes
1:29:09
the g7 countries, we're good to
go. We're taking the money.
1:29:13
We're stealing the Russian
money.
1:29:15
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is the
end of our economic system. I
1:29:18
would
1:29:18
Adam Curry: agree. It is the
most insane thing I've ever
1:29:23
seen. And of course, you know,
Putin, Putin is like we also
1:29:31
have prepared an answer. Speaker
of Russian upper house of
1:29:34
parliament says, we have a draft
law which we are ready to
1:29:37
consider immediately on
retaliatory measures and the
1:29:41
Europeans will lose more than we
do.
1:29:44
John C Dvorak: Whatever I bet
you that's true. Yeah, but
1:29:46
Adam Curry: what do you think
they'll do?
1:29:48
John C Dvorak: Well, they can
confiscate all the European and
1:29:50
American investments in Russia
and there's definitely more than
1:29:54
yeah, that's that minuscule
amount. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
1:29:58
That also cut out the oil guys.
and who really we are there?
1:30:02
It's could be it's a bad idea.
Yeah, this is not what you you
1:30:06
can be you have your wars,
you're gonna have your kinetic
1:30:08
wars and you can shoot at each
other but you start Seto and
1:30:11
money's Arab tissue. Yes,
surreptitiously stealing money
1:30:15
where it's agreed upon that you
don't do that, because it has,
1:30:18
because those systems are not
based on you know, just
1:30:21
bullcrap. They're, they're
solid, they're, they work for a
1:30:24
reason, and you mess with them.
This is no good. This is the end
1:30:29
of American hegemony, this is
going to screw up everything if
1:30:32
we go ahead with this stupid
idea of stealing money. This in
1:30:38
a system that's secure. Here's
1:30:41
Adam Curry: two clips from CBS
face, the nation about these
1:30:44
procurement bills. And they're
even lying here. But is
1:30:48
Unknown: this Ukraine aid that
finally has moved at President
1:30:52
Solinsky was on another network
this morning, and he said the US
1:30:55
will send a signal with this,
that this will not be a second
1:30:59
Afghanistan, the US will stay
with Ukraine. As
1:31:04
you know, I was a supporter of
the defense supplemental. This
1:31:07
is Senator Mark Warner. And I
think it's not just going to be
1:31:11
important for Ukraine, as you
and I've talked about before,
1:31:13
it's going to be really
important for the industrial
1:31:16
base of America, which has
atrophied dramatically 60% of
1:31:20
this bill goes into building
weapons or the from submarines,
1:31:24
two and
1:31:25
155 districts to which is
surprising to get through that
1:31:28
all
1:31:29
over the place. So I think
1:31:31
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, as Dan
Sullivan, Senator Dan Sullivan,
1:31:33
he just submarines is all great
1:31:35
Unknown: all over the place. So
I think it's important. But
1:31:38
again, we're kind of given Joe
Biden a bit of a pass on, not
1:31:42
just as I mentioned, how we got
here, but the execution of the
1:31:46
Ukraine. Effort is, you know,
literally every major weapons
1:31:51
system that the Ukrainians have
said they need from high Mars
1:31:55
patriots, stingers, tanks, F 16.
Now attack comes every single
1:32:01
weapon system, this
administration, delays, delays
1:32:05
because they're scared of, you
know, making Vladimir Putin mad.
1:32:09
Yeah,
1:32:10
Adam Curry: they can make them
real math when they steal the
1:32:12
money. But that's why I think
they put it in here that the
1:32:14
President can still delay the
attack comes which is, oh, it's
1:32:18
all about the attack comes from
Senator
1:32:20
Unknown: 61 billion in aid to
Ukraine, about 60% of that stays
1:32:24
as an investment into the US
industrial base. As I understand
1:32:27
it, the US industrial base,
President Solinsky said this
1:32:32
morning on another network, it's
important that they get crucial
1:32:35
long range artillery, like
attack guns, is that what this
1:32:39
money will pay for? And if so,
when will they actually get
1:32:43
them?
1:32:43
These materials will be in
transit by the end of the week.
1:32:49
And on that schedule, what it
will do is it's clearly been the
1:32:53
case that the Ukrainians morale
has been great, but it's been
1:32:58
undermined the last couple of
months or damaged literally,
1:33:02
Adam Curry: I was I was enrolled
at dead but it's great given out
1:33:05
Unknown: rationed bullets, eight
to 10 bullets a day and on
1:33:09
artillery shells, Russians tend
to one you can't underestimate
1:33:13
that Ukrainians grit
determination but if they don't
1:33:17
have the materials yeah they
can't carry this fight to
1:33:21
get those long range artillery
1:33:24
yes
1:33:24
not just ammunition The
1:33:26
attack comes I believe the
administration was prepared well
1:33:30
months to to provide attack
rooms. It is written into this
1:33:34
legislation. So
1:33:35
Adam Curry: now I'll be the
first to say that this is
1:33:38
clearly supporting our GDP. But
we're not sending any of this to
1:33:43
Ukraine. Now I mean, we have the
stuff we just didn't want to
1:33:46
give it to him we I mean what
now we can send everything all
1:33:49
of us Oh, now we got bullets.
But because we made bullets
1:33:52
overnight now know the military,
the defense industrial base,
1:33:57
which keeps our What else do we
make here? We make war stuff.
1:34:02
And a cyber truck 4000
cybertruck jets and jets. Well
1:34:06
it's war stuff submarines. These
are big things you ever see that
1:34:09
submarines dot build
submarines.com on the sports
1:34:12
fields. This is gonna be big
business. You want to get a
1:34:15
business get into that business.
And what are the rest of the
1:34:17
American people get? We get
Ukraine flags waving waving you
1:34:21
idiots. Here's a Christian
Welker, your buddy speaking with
1:34:26
the Lenski. Now is this it
brother Brother, Volodymyr? Is
1:34:31
this do you need more? Can you
When will this be it
1:34:34
Unknown: President Solinsky Can
you give Americans a sense of
1:34:37
the timeline? Will you still
need as much aid this time next
1:34:43
year?
1:34:43
Or do you think you can turn the
corner on Russia? What's the
1:34:46
timeline
1:34:50
depends on like how soon they
get this age. There are so many
1:34:53
variables, so many factors. And
sometimes when we protect the
1:34:58
important The bottom line is you
retreat because you don't have
1:35:03
enough to force us into
equipment. And then we taking
1:35:07
the client would take two or
three times more. Oh, okay. I'm
1:35:11
not saying that this is how it's
gonna end up. But I would like
1:35:15
us to be open and very, very
specific. From the moment we get
1:35:19
our hands on these weapons
systems. Well, from that moment,
1:35:25
we can talk about the timeline,
1:35:29
Adam Curry: we need three times
more. That's what he's saying.
1:35:34
Two to three today, I just want
to be open with you guys. Give
1:35:37
me some credit. I need two or
three more. There was an
1:35:41
interesting little tidbit that
came up on Face The Nation, as
1:35:47
they were talking about, you
know, this being a new Cold War.
1:35:50
It's, you know, it's, we're,
well, now we have a Cold War
1:35:54
with Russia and with China.
These are short clips. Let's
1:35:58
play these two because something
interesting came up first here
1:36:01
is Who's David E. Sanger? Who is
this Jumoke.
1:36:05
John C Dvorak: Singer. That's
the guy was from New York, New
1:36:07
York Times. New York Times
today. He's a reporter. Okay.
1:36:12
Unknown: The New Cold Wars are
quite different market. We've
1:36:15
got Russia and China coming
together in a periodic
1:36:19
partnership. I wouldn't say it's
a full Alliance. We have other
1:36:23
players like Iran and North
Korea, as you were discussing
1:36:27
with earlier guests, supplying
them becoming sort of what the
1:36:32
Iranians call an Axis of
Resistance to the US. It is a
1:36:36
far more volatile, I think, far
more dangerous period than we
1:36:41
had, even then. And yet, as you
point out, our ability to
1:36:46
discuss it as a nation has
somewhat degraded you watch
1:36:49
those Kennedy Nixon debates and
put aside who was sweating and
1:36:53
who looked young and vigorous
and all that it was an
1:36:56
incredibly sophisticated
argument largely about nuclear
1:37:00
deterrence. I'm afraid that
we're not having that incredibly
1:37:04
sophisticated argument today,
you know, 60 years more than 60
1:37:08
years later, if you believe that
there is something of a new Iron
1:37:12
Curtain coming down a place
where you're going to divide the
1:37:16
US, the NATO nations against
China, Russia, Iran, others,
1:37:21
it's somewhere in that border
land between Ukraine and Russia.
1:37:25
Adam Curry: Yeah, demilitarized
zone, there you go. Good job,
1:37:28
everybody. You move it up into
Ukraine. Fantastic. But here's,
1:37:33
here's the kicker, the
1:37:34
Unknown: book opens with the
days running up to the war in
1:37:39
Ukraine. And while there was
certainly lots of indicators
1:37:43
coming from American satellites,
and signals, intelligence, and
1:37:46
so forth, in the end, one of the
key indicators of the Russians
1:37:52
were getting ready to roll came
from Microsoft, whose engineers
1:37:57
were noticing that malware that
had been placed by the Russians
1:38:01
and Ukrainian government
agencies were being activated
1:38:05
and sent a notice through their
various channels, which
1:38:07
ultimately went to the White
House. At the end of the day,
1:38:11
what kept Ukraine running was
some combination of Microsoft
1:38:16
and Amazon, moving all of their
data to the cloud. And then Elon
1:38:21
Musk coming in and providing
Starlink so they could
1:38:23
communicate to that cloud
credible. Something we never saw
1:38:27
in the old Cold War's
1:38:29
Adam Curry: Yeah, I read that as
Microsoft, Amazon and Starlink
1:38:34
are all part of the intelligence
services and spying on everybody
1:38:38
and everything. Didn't the
engineers notice some spyware
1:38:44
was activated, please? Yeah,
1:38:46
John C Dvorak: I agree. I'm not
at a total agreement. But I
1:38:49
agree with this nonsense that
all of a sudden, I mean, first
1:38:53
one thing if the spyware is
there,
1:38:56
Adam Curry: get rid of it. Yeah.
Run that antivirus. Watch it
1:39:00
John C Dvorak: and wait for it
to be activate. Oh, look, it's
1:39:02
just been activated by
1:39:04
Adam Curry: Hunter five people
Come on run it. That'll
1:39:07
John C Dvorak: probably do it.
Probably all it takes.
1:39:10
Adam Curry: But wow, this this
is such a this whole thing. And
1:39:15
meanwhile, you know, we're being
spied on by our own intelligence
1:39:19
services. We got net neutrality
to block any kind of private
1:39:23
communications we want to have.
It's obviously what are we all
1:39:29
doing? Scrolling on tick tock.
Oh, I'm sorry. Tick tock tick
1:39:33
tock, click clock tock tick.
Tock tock Scott
1:39:35
Unknown: McFarlane has got the
latest on that possible ban on
1:39:38
tick tock Scott, what
1:39:39
do we know? Tony tick tock is
now on the clock here to be sued
1:39:45
by their China based owner or
face the prospect of abandoned
1:39:48
the United States within that
year shutting down access to 170
1:39:52
million American users and
millions of small businesses in
1:39:56
a Congress that seemingly can't
agree on anything this past
1:39:59
week. overwhelming bipartisan
support amid concerns China
1:40:03
could use Tiktok to exploit and
access private Americans
1:40:07
information. One lawmaker called
it a spy balloon in your phone
1:40:11
and others say that's a possible
tool for propaganda. A big issue
1:40:15
as we enter an election season.
Tick tock is indicated they will
1:40:18
challenge this in the courts
file a lawsuit, they argued this
1:40:22
is an infringement of First
Amendment rights. But Tony
1:40:24
President Biden is expected to
sign this bill into law today.
1:40:30
Adam Curry: This great, of
course, is not going to go away.
1:40:33
It'll just be tick tock with USA
inside. Steve Minuchin. Speaking
1:40:40
of Tic Toc,
1:40:41
John C Dvorak: and I gotta let
him get it.
1:40:42
Adam Curry: Oh, someone's got
it. You know, it's gonna be it'd
1:40:44
be Google. Yeah,
1:40:46
John C Dvorak: it'd be something
like that. Because I've already
1:40:48
read that Google and Microsoft
is best candidates. Although
1:40:52
Adam Curry: meta, their stock
price took a dump yesterday,
1:40:56
even though they had reasonable
earnings.
1:40:59
John C Dvorak: I don't know
it'll be back. That's just a I
1:41:01
don't even know why they glitch
occurred. But
1:41:03
Adam Curry: a glitch. Glitch.
1:41:06
John C Dvorak: It's a glitch.
1:41:08
Adam Curry: Zuckerberg announced
the oh, we're gonna invest in
1:41:10
AI. Everyone went Oh, no, jump
1:41:13
John C Dvorak: that thing that
may actually be the moment where
1:41:16
the pivot the pivot the pivot is
to people stop paying attention
1:41:20
to AI. You don't have to say AI
anymore? I do. I do have this
1:41:23
clip blinking in China to talk
about.
1:41:26
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm sure that's
what he's talking about. Here's
1:41:30
your
1:41:30
Unknown: clip. Because when our
allies are stronger, I want to
1:41:32
make this current again and
again. When our allies are
1:41:35
stronger, we are stronger. The
1:41:37
package includes a separate
measure that would force tick
1:41:39
tock to divest from its Chinese
parent company bytedance, or be
1:41:43
banned on US App Stores. Tiktok
has about a year to do so. And
1:41:47
that's because of data privacy
concerns, as the Chinese regime
1:41:51
can access tic TOCs user data
for any user that uses tic tock
1:41:55
in the world. At the same time.
Antony Blinken, the Secretary of
1:41:59
State is in China, and among
many of the topics he'll be
1:42:02
discussing with officials there
are human rights, the State
1:42:05
Department released a human
rights report documenting the
1:42:09
atrocities and crimes against
humanity still being committed
1:42:12
by the Chinese regime today in
China, including those against
1:42:15
wiegers and following Gong,
Falun Gong is a spiritual
1:42:18
practice based on the principles
of truthfulness, compassion, and
1:42:21
forbearance. Here's madonn
Patel, the deputy principals
1:42:24
spokesperson at the State
Department on the Secretary's
1:42:27
visit to China. He said he would
address human rights. But on
1:42:30
this report that came out on
Monday Well, he specifically
1:42:34
addressed the persecution of
religious groups like the
1:42:36
Uyghurs and Falun Gong, and what
have tox been like on this in
1:42:40
the past. So
1:42:41
what I can say is that in every
engagement that we have had with
1:42:44
the People's Republic of China,
since the onset of this
1:42:47
administration, human rights
have always been on the agenda,
1:42:51
and they will continue to be so
and I have no doubt that human
1:42:55
rights will be discussed. This
week, while the Secretary is
1:42:58
there.
1:43:00
John C Dvorak: There was the
agenda is put some on the
1:43:03
agenda. There's some
1:43:05
Adam Curry: additional stuff,
that it wasn't just the so
1:43:08
called tick tock bill, which
actually is 270 days for tick
1:43:14
tock to bite dance to divest of
Tik Tok to an American company,
1:43:18
by IE, we're gonna steal it from
you, the president can extend
1:43:21
that three months after the
enactment of this act, tick tock
1:43:28
has to start making available
all data all video all posts all
1:43:32
pictures in machine readable
format, so that people can
1:43:35
export that and download it to
import into Google and YouTube,
1:43:41
I presume. But it also goes for
any technology company the
1:43:47
president deems to be. I'm
paraphrasing here, operated by a
1:43:52
foreign entity, an adverse
foreign entity, if it has more
1:43:56
than a million users. Except of
course, if you're a price
1:44:01
comparison app. Now if you're on
Amazon or ordering app, or if
1:44:06
you're Airbnb, that doesn't
count, but then they have this
1:44:09
no technology for terror act,
which is not discussed. I don't
1:44:14
know if it's anything but a
foreign produced item shall be
1:44:18
subject to the Export
Administration Regulations. If
1:44:23
the product is I guess, you
can't import anything that is,
1:44:29
in general a license shall be
required to export re export or
1:44:33
in country transfer a foreign
produced item from abroad that
1:44:38
meets the product scope
requirements described in
1:44:40
subsection B which is bits and
bobs. As I'm not I don't
1:44:47
understand that one yet. But
there's something coming you
1:44:53
know, metal got kicked out of
China.
1:44:58
John C Dvorak: So that would
have killed for a stock Drop.
1:45:01
Yeah,
1:45:01
Adam Curry: I wonder that
happened recently I think
1:45:07
John C Dvorak: well, something's
up. Nobody would. Yeah, this
1:45:09
whole the idealism of the
internet is over
1:45:12
Adam Curry: here. Here's the EU
Not to be outdone, hey, hey, we
1:45:17
got to get on that Tiktok
bandwagon, man. I know, let's
1:45:21
see if we can steal some money
of our own, grabbing
1:45:24
Unknown: your phone and
scrolling through videos for
1:45:27
hours on end. It's a behavior
that's become part of our daily
1:45:30
lives, and one which Tik Tok is
seeking to encourage further
1:45:35
through its new feature Tik Tok
light. The applications reward
1:45:39
program allows users to earn
points for watching and
1:45:42
interacting with content, which
they can then trade for gift
1:45:45
cards on partner websites, and
new way to gamify and monetize
1:45:50
attention, which Brussels say
could be as addictive as
1:45:54
cigarettes. In the European
Commission on Monday launched a
1:45:57
probe into tic toc lights impact
on mental health, especially for
1:46:01
children, in what it says could
be a breach of the Digital
1:46:04
Service Act. It's given Chinese
group by dance until Wednesday
1:46:09
to argue its case or face being
suspended from operating in
1:46:13
Europe. So unless Tiktok
provides compelling proof of its
1:46:16
safety, which he has failed to
do until now, we stand ready to
1:46:20
trigger digital service acts
interim measures, including the
1:46:24
suspension of the Tiktok light
reward
1:46:26
program, tick tock says it's
already taken measures to limit
1:46:29
addiction, including placing a
cap on daily rewards and banning
1:46:34
users under 18. from accessing
the new feature. It remains to
1:46:38
be seen whether these arguments
will be enough to convince EU
1:46:41
regulators that tick tock does
enough to protect children.
1:46:45
Adam Curry: I mean, those guys
are so genius, those tick tock
1:46:48
guys, they actually did one of
those things that everybody
1:46:51
said, you know, well, one day,
you'll get paid for your
1:46:53
attention. And they do it. Hey,
the watch this ad will give you
1:46:58
some points, some tick tock
points,
1:47:01
John C Dvorak: you can read a
new phenomenon this has been
1:47:04
tried and tried over the years
since even beginning before our
1:47:07
show, which is long time ago.
There were all these efforts to
1:47:12
do this and do that and you get
points. And there's games,
1:47:15
there's all kinds of games where
you get a weapon, if you did you
1:47:18
follow through on certain
things, you get an extra weapon
1:47:20
or weapon. Or you could buy the
weapon on eBay. And there was
1:47:25
all that nobody complained and
now they've they've managed to
1:47:29
do a better job doing is better,
better, better is better than
1:47:34
what has been attempted so far.
And so they're pumped up
1:47:37
punished for it. This reminds me
of, you know, the early days of
1:47:42
the Internet, or the early days
of personal computer technology
1:47:45
in the 70s I'd say when Oh,
everything is going to be
1:47:49
electronic. All the books will
be available electronically. And
1:47:53
it'll be a giant library with
every all knowledge will be
1:47:56
accumulated in and you'll be
able to look it up and find
1:47:59
anything you want. And once they
started doing that, bitching and
1:48:04
moaning about oh no copy, right?
They copied my book, you know,
1:48:09
out of print book.
1:48:12
Adam Curry: Nobody reads
anymore. Nobody cares. The audio
1:48:16
books, the audio books. I wanted
to tell you because I was
1:48:20
listening to bit of DHL
unplugged which you can listen
1:48:22
to on Tuesdays they do it live.
Is it nine Eastern? And it goes
1:48:27
on now? Yes, it's six o'clock.
Well, West Coast coming up on
1:48:30
episode 700. Help. Yes, those
guys. Oh, the reason why Spotify
1:48:37
got the bump. This is great
story. They, you know, they
1:48:40
added audiobooks. And because
they have audio books, there's
1:48:44
some law, or some I would call
the loophole in the law, that
1:48:50
they now are not just providing
music, forget the podcast part
1:48:54
from home. They're not just
providing music, but they're
1:48:57
providing a bundle, which means
they can give the artists 25%
1:49:02
less money. That's why their
cost just went down by 25%.
1:49:08
Because each user that actually
pays or there's money coming in
1:49:12
from ads, they have to give less
to the artists because they're
1:49:15
now a bundle company instead of
just a music company. That's why
1:49:19
what yeah,
1:49:21
John C Dvorak: they miss that
one is beautiful. Genius. Oh
1:49:25
Adam Curry: Swedes man,
1:49:26
John C Dvorak: we're bitching
about tick tock. Yeah. Spotify
1:49:30
people should be the ones that
are exploring ated just stealing
1:49:34
from the poor creators.
1:49:38
Adam Curry: Refrain from
comment. While speaking of guns,
1:49:44
you said something about you
when a weapon. New York is now
1:49:49
off their rocker. But apparently
it's YouTube's algorithm now
1:49:53
under fire
1:49:54
Unknown: strong words tonight
from the district attorney of
1:49:56
Manhattan aimed at YouTube for
an algorithm that promotes video
1:50:00
Go showing kids how to build an
illegal fire. They're calling
1:50:03
it games to guns and law
enforcement believes YouTube
1:50:06
isn't doing anything to stop it.
Even though it's already against
1:50:10
the company's policy. Da Alvin
Bragg reached out to the CEO of
1:50:14
YouTube about those guns on the
streets.
1:50:17
Talking about gun and Saturday.
Here's why when Susan Porter
1:50:20
Darla miles, all
1:50:21
you need is a computer and house
in an interesting game. And you
1:50:26
can go from from games to guns
in 15 minutes.
1:50:29
Here we see investigators
conducting a Call of Duty search
1:50:32
on YouTube, that with just a few
clicks can lead to videos about
1:50:36
how to assemble guns that in
real life kill people.
1:50:40
This is an algorithm that is
driving people in particular our
1:50:45
use of a few clicks from
watching a video game, to being
1:50:49
able to build guns to then in
turn, walking around with ghost
1:50:53
guns on our street and then in
our office because we've charged
1:50:55
him with a crime
1:50:56
Manhattan district attorney
Alvin Bragg and senior
1:50:59
leadership of city ghost gun
enforcement calling out YouTube
1:51:02
Wednesday afternoon, the DEA
sending this letter to the CEO
1:51:05
of YouTube about instructional
videos on how to assemble a
1:51:09
ghost gun being actively pushed
by YouTube's algorithms to
1:51:12
minors who begin watching clips
of video games. Now there
1:51:16
Adam Curry: you go. They've got
a ghost gun department in New
1:51:20
York. I like
1:51:20
John C Dvorak: it. Yeah, but I
don't like to Add New York's do
1:51:23
and I like the idea that and go
on YouTube and figure out how to
1:51:25
put together a ghost gun. That's
cool. Just for YouTube.
1:51:29
Adam Curry: I have one clip I
wanted to play, which is one of
1:51:32
the anything you see on C span
anything that is done in Senate
1:51:36
in these hearings. It's all
showboating. It's all like, look
1:51:39
at me Look at me, I'm
Representative waltz, and I'm
1:51:42
holding the Air Force to account
this
1:51:45
Unknown: bag of bushings stamped
by machine I don't need a heist
1:51:50
don't need a high school
diploma. It's not not anything
1:51:55
high tech about this. All of
this bag is compliant with the
1:51:59
FAA specifications. How much do
you think the Air Force pays for
1:52:03
this bag of bushings? I don't
know, Congressman $90,000. This
1:52:09
is a $90,000 bag of bushings
that you need for any jet
1:52:15
turbine engine just to operate.
So the exorbitant cost due to
1:52:21
DOD only buying commercial parts
from the OEMs, which essentially
1:52:25
sole source is literally driving
us out of business. I mean, the
1:52:30
interest on our debt alone is
now exceeding for the first time
1:52:33
in American history. The entire
defense budget, we can't afford
1:52:38
it anymore. Oh,
1:52:41
Adam Curry: it costs it costs
100 bucks that bag of brushes.
1:52:45
And we're paying 90, Chagas
1:52:47
John C Dvorak: bushings, brushes
1:52:48
Adam Curry: bushings. And we're
paying 90 $90,000 for it. Yeah,
1:52:52
John C Dvorak: this is nothing
new. But if you want to talk
1:52:54
about show, buddy, I have two
clips. All right. By the King,
1:52:59
the King John Kennedy, who I've
realized is a ridiculous show
1:53:06
boater. Yeah, he's funny,
though. He's very funny. And
1:53:10
he's got he should have his own
channel on YouTube. Because
1:53:12
there's probably 1000 videos of
him badgering witnesses. Yeah.
1:53:17
And he does the best job because
what he does is he first he gets
1:53:20
you to admit that you're an
expert. And then he starts
1:53:23
asking questions that you can't
answer. And then he doesn't
1:53:28
understand what you can answer
since you're an expert. And will
1:53:31
let me then and he keeps asking
the same question over and over
1:53:34
to humiliate these people. And
he, but I kind of admire who he
1:53:39
humiliates, because in this
case, it's his woman, Zarkon
1:53:42
Milon, who is some sort of a
consultant to the government.
1:53:46
And she's a social truth,
justice warrior who happens to
1:53:49
know something about tax law. So
he brings her on it just to get
1:53:55
her to answer a couple of simple
questions. I take his side on
1:53:59
this, but at the same time,
realize that John Kennedy is
1:54:03
more of a kind of a show a bit
showman in the way he does this
1:54:09
and it but it's enjoyable. I
think there's a good break for
1:54:11
us, especially after analyzing
the legislation. So here we go.
1:54:15
Unknown: Ms. Mellon is your is
your expertise in the area. Mr.
1:54:20
Bond made this distinction? Is
your expertise in the area of
1:54:24
tax avoidance or tax evasion or
both?
1:54:28
I would say both. I think the
lines there's a shame situations
1:54:32
where the lines might get
blurry, especially on the
1:54:33
corporate side. But in my it's
both, it's both in short, it's
1:54:39
both. Do
1:54:40
you believe that there are major
American corporations that are
1:54:45
cheating on their taxes?
1:54:47
I think I think yes, there are
cases where the transfer pricing
1:54:51
regulations are not being
followed and Mr. Crisis
1:54:54
testimonials to that.
1:54:56
Who are the who are the five
name the five American court
1:55:00
separations that are the biggest
tax cheats. Maybe
1:55:03
Adam Curry: I should I should
mention that she is from the
1:55:06
fact coalition and I believe
elsewhere, but I believe these
1:55:11
are the people who want a global
tax. Am I correct in saying that
1:55:15
John C Dvorak: you might be
right. But the bigger question
1:55:17
is, Who names their daughter?
Zor? Ken?
1:55:21
Unknown: Well, this is this is a
question for the IRS. It's their
1:55:24
job to enforce the laws. So I
wouldn't.
1:55:26
That's a pretty serious
allegation you made there. And
1:55:29
I'm just asking you who they
are.
1:55:31
There are cases pending against
a number of companies until they
1:55:34
those cases conclude I am not
Who do
1:55:37
you think they are? You're an
expert in this area. I'm just
1:55:40
asking you. You talked a lot.
And I've read some you writings
1:55:43
about American corporations
cheating on their taxes? I'm
1:55:47
just asking you they are.
1:55:49
I wouldn't use the word
cheating. I think that they are
1:55:53
taking advantage.
1:55:55
In your testimony.
1:55:57
I'm sorry, your testimony.
1:56:00
I'm just I'm not trying to trick
you. I just want to know you.
1:56:03
You have been very vociferous in
saying that American companies
1:56:09
are cheating. Okay, you will
America, you're entitled to your
1:56:12
opinion, but you're an expert,
and just tell me who they are.
1:56:16
I stand by that. I think that
there is evidence to suggest
1:56:19
that some of these companies and
the IRS has pursued cases
1:56:22
against a number of the
companies that Mr. Curtis has
1:56:25
analyzed, including Apple and
Microsoft, and I wouldn't say
1:56:31
tax cheat. I think that's
putting it too strongly. And I
1:56:33
didn't use that word, then who
are they?
1:56:38
Adam Curry: So she's Serbian, by
birth, so that's why her name is
1:56:41
Zorka Zorka. The Serb? Surely
you've heard of her?
1:56:46
John C Dvorak: Is she? Yeah,
Orca. zorko. He just got he
1:56:51
hazards hanging dangling. And so
I hate to play these clips,
1:56:56
because they're pretty long, but
it's just fun to watch. Because
1:57:00
it's a style of that you anyone
can adopt. If you've ever done
1:57:04
testimony, if ever we're
especially with the government.
1:57:08
It's just a hone in on some
weakness, and just keep hounding
1:57:13
a person who refuses really,
it's just just a show showboater
1:57:18
herself, because she can't name
anybody. Here we go. I
1:57:22
Unknown: wouldn't I wouldn't say
tax cheats, but I think they are
1:57:26
crossing the legal lines that
have been set by Congress and by
1:57:30
the IRS in the relevant
regulations. And because the IRS
1:57:34
is outgunned, we are not able to
1:57:37
Adam Curry: do outgun they got
80,000 More VA positions to fill
1:57:41
and the money for it.
1:57:44
Unknown: Do you believe that
their major American corporation
1:57:48
cheating on their taxes? I
1:57:50
believe they are coming very
close to crossing the line and
1:57:53
it's difficult for IRS to line?
1:57:57
Are they crossing the line or
not?
1:57:59
Well, it's up to the IRS to
enforce the law. And if they
1:58:01
don't have to be your opinion,
you are an expert. I think
1:58:04
there's a good case to be made
that yes, they are prosecuted.
1:58:06
Yes. Yes. Who are they? That's
up to the courts and the IRS to
1:58:10
determine
1:58:13
your made this allegation. But
you don't want to say who they
1:58:16
are had. I mean, if you you know
who they are. You just don't
1:58:20
want to tell us.
1:58:21
I think that's that's that's
been explained by Mr. Curtis
1:58:27
values
1:58:27
to explain. You talk about tax
cheats. I'm just asking you who
1:58:31
they are. And you don't want to
tell us?
1:58:33
It's It's again, I think it's
for the IRS enforce it. I need
1:58:38
to make sure that the IRS is
properly
1:58:40
Do you have a list of these tax
sheets? No, no. Okay. Have you
1:58:44
been to the IRS and said, Here's
a list here of these companies
1:58:48
and they're cheating on their
taxes and I can show you how
1:58:50
they're doing
1:58:50
it. No, I'm not. That's that's
that's not I've I've never
1:58:55
practiced in that area of law,
tax whistleblower lawyer you've
1:58:59
done
1:58:59
is run around saying that
American companies are cheating
1:59:02
on their taxes. I can't tell you
who they are. And I haven't been
1:59:06
the IRS to show my data to the
IRS. But I want you to believe
1:59:11
me that they're cheating on me.
1:59:12
Adam Curry: I should have said,
but Mr. Sen. Snitches get
1:59:15
stitches. Don't you know that is
1:59:17
Unknown: is that your testimony
today? No,
1:59:20
Senator. No, that sure sounds
like I know. I think that the
1:59:25
case again, some of these
companies has been well
1:59:27
documented in the
1:59:30
public because I'm gonna run out
of time. Tell me in the last 23
1:59:34
seconds here, here's your here's
your chance. You believe there
1:59:38
major American corporations
cheating on their tax? You just
1:59:42
You just testified that I
believe you told me yes. Tell me
1:59:45
who they are.
1:59:46
I think they are the companies
that Mr. Curtis discussed in his
1:59:49
in his testimony. Tell me it
includes some of the big tech
1:59:52
companies or pharma companies
that are the five worst I don't
1:59:56
have a ranking I have not
compiled you don't want to say I
1:59:59
just I have and looked into that
2:00:01
you understand it makes it hard
to believe your allegations if
2:00:04
he won't tell us who they are.
talk's cheap. You ever heard
2:00:07
that expression? Thank you, Jim.
2:00:11
Adam Curry: That was good. Yeah,
2:00:14
John C Dvorak: I mean, but this
is this is stick. He does what
2:00:16
he does, yeah, this stick here,
it gets old. You can't listen to
2:00:20
it all the time. But every once
in a while, you get some dummy
2:00:22
up there who's just swinging in
the wind, and he's just taking
2:00:25
potshots at her. Yeah. And it
continues, and it's just like,
2:00:29
they can't answer that question
at all. And it makes you wonder
2:00:33
about the cut incompetence,
basically, of all these
2:00:36
consultants and people that work
within the government are she's,
2:00:39
Adam Curry: she's this this fact
organization is a nonprofit 501
2:00:45
C three, they do about $5
million a year. And they have
2:00:48
not filed their 2020 to form
nine tax cheats. She's a tax
2:00:53
cheat, she's in default. Having
done 2022, let alone 2023. I'm
2:01:01
going to move to climate change.
Now the true biggest danger we
2:01:05
have amongst us in our our crazy
representative rented
2:01:10
representatives who we have
elected, who are all all of them
2:01:14
are all in on this. I doubt us
AIPAC funding it, but someone's
2:01:19
funding this climate stuff. And
finally, we have a lead a little
2:01:25
bit of we're going to turn up
the corner. And I'm going to
2:01:28
tell you what may be coming.
This is from CBS
2:01:31
Unknown: for some analysis we
want to bring on Melissa lon
2:01:33
she's a professor at Columbia
University's climate school.
2:01:36
Tell me what a climate emergency
is and and what that might
2:01:39
entail. I don't know if
2:01:40
Adam Curry: you heard this. But
President Biden has alluded to a
2:01:44
climate emergency that he might
be an executive order a climate
2:01:48
emergency what that
2:01:49
Unknown: might entail.
2:01:50
So when we talk about the
potential for the President to
2:01:52
declare a climate emergency,
what it's saying is, you know
2:01:54
what, there's a national
emergency going on, and I need
2:01:57
extra powers to be able to
respond to it to protect the US.
2:02:00
This is a contentious decision,
if it's made this discussions
2:02:03
come up many times. But if it is
made, then the President would
2:02:06
have additional powers in the
short term, and immediately
2:02:09
and what what might those powers
look like? And who would be the
2:02:13
first to be nervous about new
powers the President might have?
2:02:16
In other words, I mean, would it
be fossil Trump fuel companies?
2:02:19
What did? How would how might
that work?
2:02:21
Adam Curry: How about the
American citizens should be
2:02:23
worried about if Biden declares
a climate emergency? We're in a
2:02:28
state of emergency? That could
be COVID? Like powers? Could be
2:02:32
anything he wants? Once you have
emergency powers? It's just the
2:02:36
beginning of the fun. Yeah.
2:02:37
Unknown: So if the President
does this, he would have access
2:02:40
to a lot of empowers I know,
what's been talked about is the
2:02:42
ability to control how we're
able to sell fossil fuels, are
2:02:46
we able to export you're able to
send it to different parts of
2:02:48
the world. Now, obviously, the
countries that organizations
2:02:51
that depend on those exports,
they would be concerned about it
2:02:53
as the companies. But that's not
all that the President can do.
2:02:57
The president can do a lot to
bolster up the manufacturing and
2:03:00
production of clean energy
technologies, and combined with
2:03:03
some other powers that he has,
or that he could take advantage
2:03:06
of, he could move the needle
when it comes to climate change
2:03:08
and emissions. So it's a mixed
bag. I will say when you talk to
2:03:11
companies, uncertainty is the
worst. If I can plan around it,
2:03:17
I'm happy even if it's maybe not
the outcome, I want it to be
2:03:19
uncertainty of is this going to
happen? When might it happen?
2:03:22
And how might it be implemented?
is a stress point? Yes, a
2:03:25
Adam Curry: stress point. Here's
the best part. So yesterday
2:03:30
doesn't matter. Nozman. And he
brings back and Obama favorite?
2:03:34
Because the first thing you do
in an emergency is you get your
2:03:36
brown shirts on the streets.
2:03:38
Unknown: Let me just talk about
the climate corps. How do you
2:03:42
understand the climate corps and
what it's supposed to do it?
2:03:44
Obviously it echoes of FDR. of
Hitler. What what are we getting
2:03:49
from the climate accord, which
President discussed yesterday?
2:03:52
Adam Curry: From the climate
car, we had to check your
2:03:55
climate regulations in your
house? How was your thermostat?
2:03:58
You want the kind of car do you
have?
2:04:00
Unknown: Yeah, so the Climate
Corp is trying to address or at
2:04:02
least as an outsider, as a
professor University, when I'm
2:04:05
studying it, is trying to
address a couple different
2:04:07
things. One, we do not have the
workforce that we need. If we
2:04:10
want to reduce emissions, if we
want to clean up pollution, we
2:04:13
don't have people trained in
different skills. We
2:04:16
Adam Curry: don't have people to
clean up pollution. What what
2:04:19
does that even mean? Professor,
we don't
2:04:21
Unknown: have people trained in
the different skill sets that we
2:04:23
need. And we need them very
quickly if we're going to
2:04:25
respond to climate change, which
is already happening and already
2:04:28
affecting our health. So as a
result of that, how do you train
2:04:31
up those people at the same
time? show folks that there are
2:04:34
opportunities for all different
skill sets all different
2:04:36
backgrounds to contribute
positively in their communities
2:04:39
in their states?
2:04:40
Adam Curry: Everybody can join
the climate corps. It's fun kids
2:04:44
join the climate corps get a
cool uniform with an armband.
2:04:49
Yeah. These people are nuts. And
this is this has got to be my
2:04:56
favorite climate Kook is a new
climate Kook. So this is I think
2:05:03
this could be spun into a new
y2k bonanza. And of course,
2:05:09
we'll completely forget that
y2k. How about just for people
2:05:12
who are too young to remember,
you have to realize that in the
2:05:18
year 2000, and leading up to the
year 2000, we were told that to
2:05:22
your ramp to your ramp that the
world was going to it was over.
2:05:27
The world was going to melt
down. Just want to summarize the
2:05:30
y2k issue for everybody. Yeah,
2:05:32
John C Dvorak: there was a
round, I think it was 97. But
2:05:37
definitely by 98, someone had
figured out that when the year
2:05:41
2000 comes around, that all old
COBOL and other Fortran and
2:05:47
other programs which are
dominating some parts of
2:05:49
businesses couldn't get the
date, right, when we flipped to
2:05:54
the year 2000, all of a sudden,
it would become 1900, who knows
2:05:58
what. And because we'd go to 00,
as opposed to 98 wouldn't want
2:06:03
Adam Curry: to go to like 1976,
or something was going to reset
2:06:06
to some weird year, it was
2:06:08
John C Dvorak: going to reset
the 1900 As far as I remember,
2:06:10
but it was going to reset to the
wrong year and it was going to
2:06:13
screw up everything. Because now
nothing will work. Airplanes
2:06:17
will
2:06:18
Adam Curry: die VanCleave would
follow this
2:06:21
John C Dvorak: guy that with all
the ATM machines are either just
2:06:24
going throwing money away
2:06:27
Adam Curry: money printing out
of it. And
2:06:31
John C Dvorak: the lights of the
greatest gonna go down. By the
2:06:33
way, Alex Jones was one of the
top guys on this. Yeah. And I
2:06:37
still have some old clips from
him going, Oh, it's beginning.
2:06:41
As you know, the lights have
gone out in Cleveland. He was
2:06:46
all over it. And
2:06:48
Adam Curry: let me see do I
have? Do we have something of
2:06:52
Alex Jones on Joe Rogan wrong
about y2k? That's, that's what
2:06:57
is this? Oh,
2:06:57
John C Dvorak: no. Yeah, Alex
was all he was Major y2k nut.
2:07:01
And But meanwhile, what was
going really happening was that
2:07:03
the consultants were coming out
of the woods, they were
2:07:07
printing, they weren't the money
was literally printing money.
2:07:10
And I knew a couple of them. And
I and I was you know, I was
2:07:14
skeptical from the beginning,
because it didn't make any sense
2:07:16
to me that any of this stuff
would happen, because it does
2:07:19
just doesn't work that way. And
I had a couple of the greats, I
2:07:23
used to give a lot of speeches,
and I was my y2k speech was
2:07:28
generally a mockery of all these
predictions. Is
2:07:31
Adam Curry: this when your
public speaking career ended
2:07:34
around 2000? No.
2:07:36
John C Dvorak: Well, actually,
it did drop off a bit, because
2:07:39
speeches were quite popular.
And, but it was like, and it was
2:07:44
a big major deal. And it ended
up costing American businesses,
2:07:48
billions of dollars and fees and
fixes that didn't, weren't
2:07:53
necessary and everything in
between, and
2:07:55
Adam Curry: auditing, auditing
and auditing, auditing. And it
2:08:00
John C Dvorak: contributed to
the.com collapse and sunk the
2:08:03
economy. And it really never
recovered. And when it finally
2:08:06
recovered, it was 2007 2008 when
he had a secondary situation
2:08:11
where it was just folded. The
economy just went under the
2:08:14
under the tent that was going
down. The economy was never the
2:08:20
same, based on the two
constructs of that of the
2:08:25
99 2000 2001. Era. That was
the.com collapse combined with
2:08:30
the white to it y2k fiasco, a
scam. And it we've never fully
2:08:36
recovered from that that down.
Wow, that's things are much
2:08:39
better in the 90s than they are
today.
2:08:41
Adam Curry: Interesting. Well,
that's for sure. And that was
2:08:44
billions of dollars in 90 $99.
That's when a billion dollars
2:08:49
meant something. I mean, big
difference in inflation.
2:08:54
John C Dvorak: The y2k is still
well, an issue we have.
2:08:57
Adam Curry: We have a climate
change related y2k issue on the
2:09:02
horizon. The guy who's pushing
it in this clip is sketchy. He's
2:09:07
a professor, but I think he's
professor. Yeah, he's a
2:09:09
professor. But he I think he's
onto something I think I think
2:09:13
this could be played out people
will actually buy this,
2:09:16
Unknown: the more we see polar
ice melt, the more scientists
2:09:20
tell us that climate change will
have real world effects on our
2:09:23
lives. Melting glaciers likely
mean rising sea levels,
2:09:27
threatening our coastlines. But
it also means less ice at the
2:09:35
Earth's poles and more waterways
spread around to other places.
2:09:39
And that's leading to the earth
slowing down human activity has
2:09:44
changed the rotation of the
Earth. Not exactly like what
2:09:51
happens when Superman flies
around the earth and reverses
2:09:55
time in the movie, but enough to
actually slow down the rotation
2:09:59
of our planet. do a rotation
that's been speeding up slightly
2:10:03
for decades that
2:10:04
Adam Curry: trend slowed, turned
around and is now going in the
2:10:08
other direction. And that's all
because of the effect of global
2:10:10
warming. That's
2:10:12
Unknown: Duncan Agnew who runs a
study out of San Diego Scripps
2:10:15
Institute for oceanography. His
study says we may actually have
2:10:20
to subtract a so called leap
second from our atomic clocks,
2:10:24
because of the slowing planet. A
move that would be painful for
2:10:28
satellites, computers, not to
mention financial and energy
2:10:32
systems that rely on precise
timing.
2:10:35
Adam Curry: We've never had an
aided leap second before it's
2:10:37
hard enough synchronizing
computers when there's a new add
2:10:40
a second, but nobody's prepared
to do what's necessary when you
2:10:45
have to have a negative second.
Come on, man. I can see this one
2:10:49
spin and out. They can they can
ramp this up. They can ramp it
2:10:52
up
2:10:53
John C Dvorak: one thing I saw
this, and this Yeah, he doesn't
2:10:56
look right.
2:10:58
Adam Curry: Here he looks like
he's on the spectrum. He's got
2:11:01
some issues.
2:11:04
John C Dvorak: For sure. It's
okay that we have to add a leap
2:11:07
second, every few every so
often. I don't know what the
2:11:10
what the frequency is. But now
that it's going to be
2:11:14
subtracting one this is going to
cause nothing but Havoc is what
2:11:18
his theory is, is all because of
global warming if he stopped at
2:11:21
these problems wouldn't exist.
Exactly. And it's like, Oh,
2:11:24
please. This became a news
story. These people on the
2:11:29
networks, they, they really are
giving us lousy product. This
2:11:34
stinks. I mean, we just no good
we keep
2:11:36
Adam Curry: saying for more
years. But we can't. There may
2:11:40
be no more news to deconstruct
by that time, because no one
2:11:43
will want to hear it. I mean,
it's become so stupid. I mean,
2:11:49
we're gonna deconstruct Megyn
Kelly, what are we going to do?
2:11:56
John C Dvorak: I have COVID
stuff. COVID backs I thought was
2:11:59
funny.
2:12:02
Adam Curry: Okay, COVID Vax is
always funny because then I'll
2:12:06
talk about heart failures always
funny.
2:12:10
John C Dvorak: It's, it's, this
is McCullough, QA on a podcast
2:12:16
at the Brian Shapiro occupied
Democrats podcast where this is
2:12:21
an example of some of the worst
podcasting and, and types of
2:12:25
questioning that anyone can
imagine from any podcaster it's
2:12:30
as though we did the podcast is
as thus Hey, Adam, would you
2:12:33
agree with me that Oh, brother,
really? It's not I mean, that
2:12:37
style of living the wind
rational testimony?
2:12:40
Adam Curry: Yeah, leading the
witness. All right. Caller I
2:12:44
don't
2:12:45
John C Dvorak: know why he's on
this podcast or what he's got to
2:12:47
do with it. But this guy is one
of our you know,
2:12:50
Adam Curry: five caller is the
is the man we trust the man.
2:12:53
John C Dvorak: He's the guy.
He's the guy you listen to
2:12:55
because he does and he doesn't
put up with guff. And so here we
2:12:57
go put one up with guff
2:12:59
Unknown: talk about vaccines
with you. Would you agree with
2:13:01
me that the vaccines for COVID
have done far more good for
2:13:06
people in this country than the
NACA there are so many people
2:13:09
still that say COVID? The
vaccines have killed millions of
2:13:11
people that all these
professional athletes are dying
2:13:14
of myocarditis when it's just
not true. So would you agree
2:13:18
with me that the vaccines have
done far more good for people
2:13:21
than bad?
2:13:21
Adam Curry: I have to be I just
did an interview the other day
2:13:25
for a podcast, one of the
unheard of the union of the
2:13:28
unwanted who by the way, want
you? They really want Johnson a
2:13:32
union
2:13:32
John C Dvorak: of the unwanted
watch me? Yeah.
2:13:36
Adam Curry: Go figure. And you
get to like these long
2:13:40
questions. And like, would you
agree with me as I got this?
2:13:44
Yeah, this is very podcast it
Well,
2:13:46
John C Dvorak: what happened?
It's better wait. It's bad
2:13:49
podcast it and it stems from and
I believe it it's it evolves
2:13:54
from people listened to too many
Senate hearings? Yeah. Where the
2:13:57
senator says, Would you believe
me? And they tried to get does
2:14:01
beyond leading the witness? Is
it trying to pre answer the
2:14:04
question, but I have the sense
that this guy doesn't know who
2:14:07
Macaulay is because he's not
going to get away with any of
2:14:10
this. Well,
2:14:10
Adam Curry: but the logical
conclusion of what you just said
2:14:13
there is that all of our elected
representatives in Congress are
2:14:18
in essence, bad podcasters.
Exactly.
2:14:22
Unknown: Far more good for
people than bad. Well, what
2:14:24
evidence do you have for that?
2:14:26
What evidence do you have that
that all these people are dying
2:14:29
in the vaccines?
2:14:30
Well, let's just take let's take
safety first. Because we always
2:14:34
discuss safety before efficacy.
Would you agree with that? Sure.
2:14:38
Sure. Yeah. Right. So it doesn't
matter how good a product is. It
2:14:42
has to be safe. Would you agree
with that?
2:14:44
I don't think there's any
vaccination that's 100%
2:14:47
foolproof safe, you know that
okay,
2:14:49
but it would have to have
acceptable safety. Would you
2:14:52
agree with that?
2:14:53
It depends on your definition of
acceptable safety.
2:14:57
Adam Curry: This guy a doctor,
what is what is eat Have you
2:15:03
tried to torture us here? What
are you doing with it?
2:15:05
Unknown: We're in a global
pandemic, where at one point we
2:15:07
were losing 5000 Americans per
day. So obviously, these were
2:15:10
extenuating circumstances. But
go ahead.
2:15:12
But what would be your
definition of acceptable safety?
2:15:16
Well, I while I'm not a doctor,
and you are, I would say, in my
2:15:21
personal opinion, looking back
on half the world being
2:15:25
vaccinated, in fact, more than
half the world as you know, at
2:15:27
this point, there is no direct
evidence that these vaccinations
2:15:32
are people are dropping dead
left and right. And as you know,
2:15:36
specifically on right wing
media, and right wing talk shows
2:15:39
they claim that all these
professional athletes are dying
2:15:42
of myocarditis. Because of the
vaccines when they don't even
2:15:45
know if these people were
vaccinated. They don't know
2:15:47
their medical history. And it's
frustrating for me, doctor,
2:15:50
because I believe the vaccine
saved my life. I believe it
2:15:52
saved my parents life. And in so
many studies out there, you
2:15:55
know, listen, you could as you
know this, you can get COVID If
2:15:59
you're vaccinated, it didn't
give you a lesser chance of
2:16:01
getting infected or giving it to
somebody else. However, you are
2:16:05
in so many studies that I've
seen, and you can tell me if you
2:16:07
disagree, far less likely to get
the effects of having to go into
2:16:11
the ICU or possibly dying if you
were vaccinated. Am I wrong?
2:16:15
Yeah, you're wrong.
2:16:17
Adam Curry: What is the name of
this? podcaster?
2:16:20
John C Dvorak: It's the name is?
2:16:22
Adam Curry: Yeah. Brian Shapiro.
Yes, the
2:16:24
John C Dvorak: Brian Shapiro
occupied Democrat.
2:16:27
Adam Curry: I'm taking his
license away, removing his show.
2:16:32
John C Dvorak: So this is
another example. This is a like
2:16:35
the Kennedy stuff earlier
example of how to testify how to
2:16:40
respond and how to deal with
guys like this. This guy is so
2:16:46
bigoted. And so now mycologist
goes into you and stick it to
2:16:50
him.
2:16:52
Adam Curry: You're a doctor,
aren't you? Am I correct in
2:16:54
assuming you're a doctor?
2:16:56
John C Dvorak: And so I just
thought, yeah, I just thought I
2:17:01
actually had three of these. I
thought there was only two but
2:17:04
McCullough is, I don't know why
he's on this podcast. I don't
2:17:08
know what the point of it
2:17:09
Adam Curry: is. And we need he
needs an agent like, hey, hey,
2:17:12
Pete, don't do
2:17:13
John C Dvorak: podcasts like
this because Carlos is irked.
2:17:16
And this guy is like, Tim Poole
want to be this this podcast or
2:17:21
is fast talk or talk bla bla bla
bla bla, but he's all of these
2:17:26
podcasters come from I don't get
it. Bruce Lee, and what are
2:17:31
Adam Curry: you listening to
these things? So how does how do
2:17:32
you? How do you acquire this?
2:17:34
John C Dvorak: I acquire these
things through sources.
2:17:37
Unknown: And here's the reason
why the prospective randomized,
2:17:41
double blind, placebo controlled
clinical trials of the vaccines
2:17:45
never showed a reduction in
severity. They never showed a
2:17:49
reduction in hospitalization and
death. And what's come out over
2:17:54
time, is the virus has mutated
to become a much milder virus.
2:17:59
So as the vaccines were rolling
out, you know, we were being
2:18:02
confronted with a less mild
virus. The other thing, I mean,
2:18:06
a less severe virus more mild.
The other thing that happened is
2:18:08
we learned how to treat the
illness. So we treated patients
2:18:12
early, and we avoided
hospitalization and death. So
2:18:15
the two major things that saved
people's lives, were having
2:18:20
natural immunity from the first
round of infection. And then
2:18:24
early treatment. What happened
with the vaccines? Remember, the
2:18:28
vaccines came in late, you know,
so we're worried a year the
2:18:31
pandemic we've been treating
people for a year. The vaccines
2:18:34
come in late. And in a recent
paper by Norman Fenton from the
2:18:41
UK, he shown that there was
tremendous misclassification
2:18:44
bias. So when they declared that
there was a a, a epidemic of the
2:18:51
unvaccinated In fact, the
hospitals weren't, you know,
2:18:55
they had no they had no idea who
was vaccinated or not. They
2:18:58
didn't have connection to the
CDC vaccine records. They
2:19:01
weren't going in the ICU and
figuring out people on the
2:19:05
ventilator who were vaccinated
who weren't. In countries that
2:19:08
actually did have the vaccine
status like the UK, they found
2:19:12
far more vaccinated in the
hospital on ventilators and
2:19:15
dying than the unvaccinated and
in a paper by Shrestha and
2:19:18
colleagues from the Cleveland
Clinic, the least the lowest
2:19:21
risk workers that they have in
51,000 workers are the
2:19:26
unvaccinated and with every
single injection one is more and
2:19:30
more likely to get COVID-19
2:19:32
Adam Curry: So I presume this
tarde caster right away went
2:19:35
okay, well, I guess I was wrong.
As far as what happened?
2:19:42
John C Dvorak: Not really. I
mean, he's upset with himself
2:19:45
because he's convinced that the
VAX saved him and his family and
2:19:50
no, I don't think anybody ever
buys into the the the McCullough
2:19:55
narrative if they've already
assigned. I mean, once in a
2:19:59
while you see it on On threads,
you'll see a bunch of people
2:20:01
going up and down. Stop, stop.
2:20:04
Adam Curry: You're on threads.
2:20:07
John C Dvorak: What? No, I meant
threads. Oh, I didn't mean
2:20:11
threads. I meant on threads you
in other words, a bunch of
2:20:15
thread
2:20:15
Adam Curry: on a thread. Yes.
Yes. I'm sorry. I don't
2:20:19
John C Dvorak: even know how to
get on thread. But I don't know
2:20:24
why you'd stop me anyway.
2:20:26
Adam Curry: You read on threads.
I'm like, what? You're on
2:20:29
threads. Threads is a product I
thought you were on a
2:20:31
John C Dvorak: thread. So you
read it they're ever shown to
2:20:35
somebody that goes out? You
know, I got too many shots. I
2:20:37
got like set unit up to seven.
All right. I think it's seven.
2:20:40
Yeah. Oh, he's least and it's
the same useless shot, but they
2:20:46
keep getting them. And
2:20:48
Adam Curry: yeah, because they
only last 60 days now according
2:20:51
John C Dvorak: to even last he
didn't do anything with it
2:20:53
again, go you need to re
2:20:55
Adam Curry: up get a boost. All
right. So we just go into this
2:20:58
last clip here from this guy.
Yeah.
2:21:00
Unknown: Now the deaths that
have been reported after the
2:21:03
vaccine are unprecedented. Our
safety system for vaccines
2:21:08
records on average, half the
country takes vaccines in the
2:21:12
United States before COVID
records on average 150 deaths in
2:21:17
a year. On average, the COVID 19
vaccines roll out. And as we sit
2:21:22
here today, our CDC has verified
18,655 Americans dying after the
2:21:30
vaccine 1150 die on the same day
they take the shots, some die in
2:21:35
the vaccine center 1200 die the
next day. Now that's under
2:21:41
reported by a factor in FDA
testimony of about 30 We're
2:21:45
looking as we sit here today if
550,000 Plus Americans have died
2:21:50
after the vaccine, so this is
seen worldwide. There are calls
2:21:56
to pull these vaccines off the
market they're so grossly unsafe
2:22:00
because people die quickly after
taking them
2:22:04
Adam Curry: Ah yeah, it's it's
we just had a young a young mom
2:22:08
with three kids die here in
Fredericksburg husband finds her
2:22:12
dead in the morning. I mean this
is happening and and it's not
2:22:16
everybody thank God there's no
2:22:18
John C Dvorak: it's not it's
just a percentage, but it's a
2:22:20
high the number high percent and
if you just stop taking the
2:22:24
shot, that might be a good idea.
2:22:27
Adam Curry: I mean, and of
course no matter what happens
2:22:29
when someone dies suddenly you
can't help but think Zach's and
2:22:34
you don't want to ask? Actually
2:22:36
John C Dvorak: that's the that
is becoming a I think is
2:22:39
becoming a problem. Because
that's the is exactly right. The
2:22:42
first thing you think of, you
know, because you hear somebody
2:22:45
that guy's 33 is in perfect
condition is in great shape. He
2:22:48
is pumping iron dropped dead.
Yeah. From, you know, just had,
2:22:52
whatever it is a lot of
different things.
2:22:54
Adam Curry: Well, let's just
let's just listen to some
2:22:57
circumstantial evidence showing
circumstantial evidence from a
2:23:01
short little news report hear
things from Chicago
2:23:03
Unknown: notice and Ben patients
and their doctors are failing
2:23:06
when it comes to heart care,
heart failure rates are now on
2:23:09
pace to wipe out prior gains.
According to Jama cardiology,
2:23:13
long standing declines in heart
failure are now reversing heart
2:23:17
failure, death rates declined
from 1999 to 2005, then
2:23:21
plateaued to 2012. But from 2012
to 2019, mortality increased to
2:23:26
levels greater than decades ago,
the most troubling reversal was
2:23:30
for people younger than 45. And
it got worse in the pandemic,
2:23:34
Adam Curry: oh gee, no numbers
there. But it got worse. It got
2:23:38
worse. Oh, these people are
killing us, though. And so this,
2:23:45
of course, leads to other
issues. This is we have societal
2:23:48
issues, certainly in the United
States. And that is our well,
2:23:51
not just making babies but
they're actually calling it The
2:23:55
fertility rate. I don't know if
that means we're not fertile, or
2:23:59
we're just not reproducing but
it's a problem. fertility
2:24:03
Unknown: rate in the United
States has been trending
2:24:05
downward for decades. And now a
new report shows the rates the
2:24:08
lowest it's been in more than a
century. According to the data
2:24:12
from the CDC National Center for
Health Statistics. Between 2022
2:24:16
and 2023. There was a 3% drop in
the number of births that
2:24:20
brought the fertility rate just
below the previous low from
2:24:24
2020, which was 56 births for
every 1000 women. Well then
2:24:28
there was another drop in births
last year to less than 55 live
2:24:32
births for every 1000 women.
Meanwhile, Burke's continue to
2:24:35
shift also to older mothers.
2:24:39
Adam Curry: So of course, the
Biden administration's answer to
2:24:42
this is open the borders let
them all come in because we know
2:24:47
that we need to suppress wages.
We need to keep those low
2:24:52
especially with interest rates
so high as they are Ms. real
2:24:55
problem for the financial
institution. And a lot of this
2:25:00
is going on. There's he won't
talk about as we discussed in
2:25:03
the opening rants of people in
their cars, you should look for
2:25:06
Amazon drivers, Walmart drivers,
they're ranting in their cars
2:25:11
because they're not getting
these jobs anymore because it's
2:25:14
Venezuelans and other illegal
immigrants who have, you know,
2:25:18
basically cartels with phones
and they're, you know, they're
2:25:21
getting the ping and they answer
it right away and they got five
2:25:25
other guys in a car and they've
got you know, that they got no
2:25:27
licenses. They don't have
insurance, anything like that.
2:25:31
Anything of anything just
driving
2:25:34
John C Dvorak: to whole
countries gypsy
2:25:35
Adam Curry: cab. Yeah, it's Yes,
exactly. And that taking away
2:25:39
the gig workers gigs. And so
it's, it's a real issue. Now, of
2:25:45
course, you could call in the
curry Devorah consulting group
2:25:47
and say, What can we do to get
our birth rate up? Coronavirus
2:25:53
Consulting Group? Do you have an
answer? And we'd go, you know,
2:25:56
do you want to get something on
TV? You gotta go big pharma
2:25:59
baby. All right, we
2:26:00
Unknown: like to talk about the
health stories of the day. First
2:26:03
up a new study about men who
take Viagra and Alzheimer's,
2:26:07
right?
2:26:07
There's been a lot of buzz in
the medical world about the fact
2:26:10
that Viagra may actually
decrease the risk of developing
2:26:13
Alzheimer's. And a new study
came out that showed that there
2:26:15
was up to a 56% decrease. So
this is huge. Now when I first
2:26:20
heard his story, I thought,
Okay, well, it increases blood
2:26:23
flow to the genitals it will
increase blood flow to the
2:26:25
brain. Maybe that's how it's
working. But it turns out,
2:26:27
that's not the mechanism of
action. What's happening is that
2:26:31
folks that have Alzheimer's have
an accumulation of amyloid and
2:26:35
they also have an accumulation
of something called Tau protein
2:26:38
that causes tangles in the
neurons that causes the decline
2:26:41
in cognitive function. It turns
out that Viagra interrupts the
2:26:45
formation of these tau program.
I love
2:26:49
Adam Curry: this. Tell take
2:26:50
John C Dvorak: it all the time.
Take it every day.
2:26:55
Adam Curry: Actually, the ER
doctor told me that there is
2:26:58
some validity to this, that
there are all kinds of other
2:27:01
health benefits from the blood
flow created by Viagra. I find
2:27:07
it highly interesting. Take it
every day. Got to do something
2:27:13
with it.
2:27:14
John C Dvorak: I do I have to
pat myself on the back for early
2:27:18
spotting of a trend. And it's
just beginning to go on. This is
2:27:26
the parents of criminals bill in
Tennessee. Yeah,
2:27:28
Adam Curry: you're right. You
did spot this early on and this
2:27:31
is a thing parents
2:27:32
Unknown: might want to watch
their children a little more
2:27:34
closely tonight. A bill passed
in Tennessee will now hold
2:27:38
parents partially responsible
for crimes committed by their
2:27:41
kids. Hello, I'm Greg Hirsch.
Hi.
2:27:43
I'm Stephanie Scurlock. It comes
as part of an effort to curb
2:27:47
juvenile crime in Memphis and
2:27:48
in the state. WGS Ashley Paul
joins us now live outside of 201
2:27:53
poplar after speaking with
Sheriff Floyd Bonner, about this
2:27:56
bill and a couple of others that
will soon become
2:27:59
law. Ashley? Yeah. Well, it was
just yesterday that Sheriff
2:28:03
Bonner released a statement
expressing concerns over the
2:28:06
growing number of juveniles that
are staying at the Youth
2:28:09
Education and Prevention Center
and tonight when we spoke with
2:28:11
him, he he spoke with us about
some of the efforts being made
2:28:15
to curb that juvenile crime.
2:28:17
If we don't sound the alarm now,
what's gonna happen this summer
2:28:21
when the kids are out of school
2:28:22
130 and juveniles are spending
the night at the Youth Education
2:28:26
and Prevention Center tonight. A
slight dip from the 108 team
2:28:29
that were there yesterday but
uncomfortably close to the
2:28:32
record high 125 Since the center
opened last summer,
2:28:36
is calling all parents to please
please. Let's just take a look
2:28:42
at our T 's and what they're
doing and who they're hanging
2:28:44
out with.
2:28:45
WR eg sat down with Shelby
County Sheriff Floyd Bonner
2:28:48
today discussing these concerns
and a potential solution passed
2:28:52
today in Nashville. Under the
parental accountability act
2:28:55
after the first offense. Parents
of juveniles who commit a crime
2:28:59
will be required to pay $1,000
for each additional offense. If
2:29:03
they can't afford the fine, they
will be able to work it off
2:29:05
through community service,
2:29:07
and I had to go alone the
Interstate in my friends
2:29:10
neighbors loved one saw me
picking up trash, because
2:29:14
something that my son had done.
I think I would pay a little bit
2:29:18
more attention.
2:29:19
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Wait, what
and the kid just sits back and
2:29:25
kicks back and is on Tik Tok and
the parents are now cleaning up
2:29:29
the trash on the interstate.
2:29:31
John C Dvorak: That would be the
one of the issues. Yes, it
2:29:34
Adam Curry: was ultimate.
2:29:35
John C Dvorak: Now this Bonner
guy who sounds like this. This
2:29:39
southern dude is a big black
man. With a beautiful southern
2:29:45
Tennessee. That's a Tennessee
accent it is absolute classic
2:29:49
Tennessee accent and except it's
got a little more low notes.
2:29:55
Yeah, but this is the beginning
of the end. For bad parents. Oh
2:30:01
Adam Curry: wow well it's and
you think this will work?
2:30:06
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I think it
will
2:30:09
Adam Curry: and at what
2:30:10
John C Dvorak: age is the funny
thing is started with start with
2:30:12
these white parents from the
shooter right and it immediately
2:30:17
and I first saw it when you said
it you said it's gonna be it
2:30:21
wasn't from that it was from
from a couple of years earlier
2:30:24
and I said it then when there
was a shooting a student
2:30:28
shooting it was in Lithuania or
some foreign country and they
2:30:32
arrested the parents and that
was the that was to me was the
2:30:36
trigger to do so that this is
happening and it's going to
2:30:40
happen it's going to take a
while but it's going to happen
2:30:42
in the parents are going to now
finally have to be responsible
2:30:45
for juvenile delinquency now,
it's their fault. Couple
2:30:48
questions.
2:30:49
Adam Curry: One, will this only
be up until age 18? I guess I
2:30:55
think so. Yeah. In that can I
just disown my child like, I
2:30:58
don't that I disown this child.
It's not mine. No, I can't do
2:31:03
that.
2:31:05
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
No. I
2:31:07
Adam Curry: have one quick
story. In one clip. There was a
2:31:11
big frokost Apparently at Joint
Base Andrews. Have you heard
2:31:15
about this but Secret Service
agents on vice presidents a good
2:31:18
story Kamala Harris's detail.
They've got into a fight.
2:31:23
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Do you ever
get Did you research this and
2:31:25
find out what the fight was
about? Well, yes,
2:31:27
Adam Curry: I did. So this
female Secret Service agent
2:31:32
showed up at the terminal and
was acting erratically grabbing
2:31:35
another senior agents personal
phone and deleting applications
2:31:39
on it. So she didn't like the
app involved
2:31:43
John C Dvorak: a female agent
Oh, it gets better.
2:31:47
Adam Curry: The other agent who
was the shift leader was able to
2:31:50
recover his phone and then acted
as if nothing had happened. But
2:31:53
the female agents bizarre
behavior did not stop there. She
2:31:56
began mumbling to herself,
hiding behind curtains, and then
2:32:01
started throwing items at the
other agents including menstrual
2:32:04
pads, telling him that he would
need them later to save another
2:32:09
agent and telling her peers that
they were going to burn in hell
2:32:12
and needed to listen to God. She
then screamed at the Special
2:32:17
Agent in Charge rattling off the
names of female officers on the
2:32:20
Vice President's detail claiming
they would show up and help her
2:32:23
and allow her to continue
working. At that point, other
2:32:26
agents on the scene believes she
was suffering from a mental
2:32:29
lapse. And as you think, and the
senior officer approached to
2:32:34
tell her she was leave relief
from the assignment. That's when
2:32:37
she snapped entirely. She chest
bumped and shoved her superior
2:32:42
then tackled him and punched
him. The agents involved
2:32:46
restraining her we're especially
concerned because she still had
2:32:49
her gun in a holster that
wrestled her to the ground, took
2:32:51
the gun cuffed her and removed
her from the terminal. There
2:32:55
seems like there's more of a
story behind this one. Yeah,
2:32:59
what was what apps were on his
2:33:00
John C Dvorak: phone? Well,
obviously she was having an
2:33:03
affair with someone. This is
what I'm thinking. Yeah. And
2:33:07
this is the Patreon era. What is
it? brighteners eighth fret.
2:33:11
fraternization fray Yeah.
2:33:14
Adam Curry: I can't get that one
out fraternize.
2:33:16
John C Dvorak: Can't can't do
that on the job but it happens
2:33:19
anyway. No matter whether you
want to or not, but you get this
2:33:22
psychos. Yeah, it's like
remember the net it was a NASA
2:33:26
astronaut that that was kind of
stalled can some guy and she was
2:33:32
sitting in there. Oh, yeah.
Remember see peeing in a bottle?
2:33:34
Oh, no.
2:33:35
Adam Curry: She wore a diaper
and adult diaper. I drive for
2:33:38
hours. That was a great story.
That was a good story. Ah, the
2:33:43
good old days. Yeah.
2:33:46
John C Dvorak: situations with
unstable people.
2:33:49
Adam Curry: So that was a great
story. Homeless. Psycho
2:33:54
John C Dvorak: diaper. Diaper
lady.
2:33:59
Adam Curry: I don't think that's
so old. I don't even have the
2:34:01
story anymore. Yeah,
2:34:04
John C Dvorak: I guess to Texas
border clips.
2:34:06
Adam Curry: Well, hold on a
second. Because I need to bring
2:34:09
us up to speed on the bird flu
and then we got to take a break.
2:34:12
We're running late. Yeah, well,
yeah. Do bird flu because you
2:34:16
know, there's actually two clips
it's important because they're
2:34:19
starting to scare us now all
bird flu bird flu it's in the
2:34:23
mail because
2:34:23
Unknown: in the mail this
morning the FDA insists listen
2:34:26
to the urgency of his voice the
nation's milk supply is safe
2:34:30
safe after fragments of the bird
flu virus were found in some
2:34:34
milk samples stopped stopped to
clip
2:34:37
John C Dvorak: fragments. That's
how do you get how do you find
2:34:40
fragment?
2:34:41
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm glad you
asked. According to the FDA,
2:34:43
remnants of
2:34:44
Unknown: bird flu were detected
in samples of pasteurized milk.
2:34:47
What do we need to know?
2:34:47
Yeah, let me take you through
this headline because for sure
2:34:50
it's concerning and I'm gonna
get a lot of attention today.
2:34:53
Particles of the virus detected
in grocery store milk is not
2:34:57
really a surprise and I want to
tell you why. Remember back in
2:35:00
the COVID days, with PCR
testing, people were testing
2:35:04
positive weeks or even months
after being infected. Why?
2:35:08
Because that PCR detects
particles of the virus, not the
2:35:13
active live virus. Now
2:35:15
Adam Curry: you're okay, you're
full of crap. Dr. Jen, America's
2:35:17
favorite doctor, PCR tests, you
can find anything you want, as
2:35:22
long as you spin up enough
cycles. That's what's going on
2:35:24
here. And just I'm just pointing
this out, because we have to be
2:35:28
careful when they're using PCR,
which was never intended to be a
2:35:32
test of anything. According to
the guy who invented the test
2:35:36
and died just before COVID
kicked off. Yeah, this is so
2:35:41
this is this is why are they
doing this? I don't know. I'm
2:35:44
sure it has something to do with
the bird flu. I don't like it. I
2:35:48
don't like them bringing up this
2:35:51
John C Dvorak: from one of our
producers or producers when our
2:35:53
famous Duke producer says, Oh, I
think they're gonna get back a
2:35:58
mail in voting just before the
election. Why
2:36:01
Adam Curry: not? Well, I
2:36:02
John C Dvorak: think it's too
late. You can't pull this stunt
2:36:05
now. It's over.
2:36:08
Adam Curry: But they may try to
2:36:10
John C Dvorak: lay their lead
into mail and voting before
2:36:13
there was a build up it took a
while to propagandize the public
2:36:16
the public is a little hardened
against this or not gonna go for
2:36:19
this?
2:36:19
Adam Curry: No, I hope not. But
you know, look at all those kids
2:36:22
on the college campus all
wearing masks or bird flu
2:36:27
John C Dvorak: or maybe it's all
I think they're wearing masks so
2:36:29
they don't get detected by face
to face recognize. I think they
2:36:32
Adam Curry: all want to go work
for Goldman Sachs after school.
2:36:36
John C Dvorak: Don't want us
some list. For
2:36:39
Adam Curry: sure. They don't
want to be up put on some list.
2:36:41
Let's take our break John,
because I would like to say in
2:36:43
the morning to you and thank you
the man who put the sea in the
2:36:46
climate corps say hello to my
friend on the other end the One
2:36:49
Only Mr. Jobs
2:36:55
John C Dvorak: in the morning,
Mr. Adam Creighton Mr. Force
2:36:57
sees me the GM sent me and said
he needed somebody with
2:36:59
Bendamustine nights out there
and the monitor
2:37:09
Adam Curry: couple of them got
away, but I think I got most of
2:37:11
them. 1485 on the troll room
count we had 1456 the last
2:37:19
Thursday, so we're up. We're
barely, but a couple of them got
2:37:24
away. I couldn't count on my
hat, oh, trolls, they're hanging
2:37:26
out there in the troll room. And
the reason they're there is, is
2:37:32
because they love being our live
studio audience, our live studio
2:37:36
audience and it's, it's well
worth it. If anyone does a
2:37:39
podcast, you should just do it
live, do it live, and then have
2:37:43
a troll room because it makes
you feel alive. And it gives
2:37:47
everybody the sense of urgency.
You know, they all think they're
2:37:50
important is great. You know,
you get a portion of your
2:37:53
audience. Now where important
we're in the troll room, we're
2:37:55
doing it, and they actually are
and they get warmed up by Darren
2:37:59
Oh, the pre show guy is great.
Yes. You're welcome, says
2:38:03
Matthew, you're right. Thank
you. We appreciate it. You can
2:38:07
become a troll yourself by going
to troll room.io There's 24
2:38:10
hours a day, we have our no
agenda live stream going. And
2:38:14
you can there's always trolls in
there trolling other shows. And
2:38:17
then obviously, you can use a
modern podcast app, which I
2:38:20
recommend you do. Because if you
see what's happening with net
2:38:23
neutrality, see what's happening
is it's all going to become
2:38:26
you're all doomed. Get a podcast
app where your favorite podcast
2:38:31
will remain on it. It's
backwards compatible with any
2:38:34
other podcast you use. You can
search you can find him, you can
2:38:37
import it, podcast apps.com Now
I want to talk about value for
2:38:42
value. But I was actually
surprised to hear the tinfoil
2:38:46
hat podcast which you introduced
us to you introduced us to the
2:38:50
tinfoil hat podcast. So this got
Steve on here and Sam Sam
2:38:55
Tripoli, the comedian who I
called a sidekick and Sam is Sam
2:39:02
gets around he's been on the
Rogen show a lot you know he's
2:39:05
stand up he's got a special
coming out. And they discussed
2:39:08
value for value and accredited
us and and excel would you like
2:39:13
to hear them explain value.
2:39:14
John C Dvorak: I'm all in one of
2:39:16
Unknown: the things about you
know,
2:39:18
being shadow banned very, very
early on being demonetised on
2:39:22
YouTube very, very early on, is
it forced me to figure out if I
2:39:29
want to stick around here? Do
you know then I've got to have a
2:39:33
model that is going to allow me
to survive the obvious
2:39:36
deplatforming that I'm going to
face absolutely everywhere else.
2:39:40
And so that's why I do the value
for value system.
2:39:44
Adam Curry: So far so good,
right? I mean, he this is his
2:39:47
experience. Of course we
preempted or we started,
2:39:51
John C Dvorak: we skipped the
middle.
2:39:53
Unknown: We skipped the plan
crap.
2:39:55
John C Dvorak: I don't want any
of that stuff. Playing that what
2:39:58
is that? So Adam curry and
Jhansi Dvorak the guys from no
2:40:03
agenda. This is something that
they conceptualized when they
2:40:08
took the show full time. And
it's based on recognition that
2:40:14
the show that you're watching or
listening to has value. And
2:40:19
that's going to look different
to absolutely everyone. And
2:40:22
absolutely everyone is going to
have a different level of value
2:40:27
that they can contribute. I love
2:40:28
Adam Curry: that he's really are
a really gets it. I mean, I'm
2:40:31
loving hearing this this is and
I love the kind of stoner voice
2:40:34
when he explains it
2:40:35
John C Dvorak: a man. wish it
did you two guys is this Mr.
2:40:38
Steve?
2:40:39
Adam Curry: This is Steve
Sampson the background going
2:40:41
Yeah, right. Explain it.
2:40:42
John C Dvorak: So what are the
things that you really need to
2:40:45
make a show run? You need time?
You need talent, and you need
2:40:49
treasure? Okay, so that's the
value for value system. There's
2:40:54
some things that we need a hand
with Eclipse promotion, because
2:40:58
I hate it. You know, this
requires time, okay, well, if
2:41:04
you have some time, and you can
do that, please do that. Share
2:41:06
the show, throw a clip,
whatever, we've got a clip
2:41:08
channel, send it to us, we'll
put it on talent. That's where
2:41:12
making things overlaps to being
able to book guess, being able
2:41:16
to go out and have conversations
that allow for other people to
2:41:20
watch the show and stuff like
that. Do you make music, we'd
2:41:23
like to play it that kind of
thing. Talent, treasure, that's
2:41:27
pretty obvious. We have bills
that we have to pay kids growing
2:41:31
and like to eat, all that kind
of stuff. So if you don't have a
2:41:36
lot of time, if there's things
in the digital space that you're
2:41:40
not great at, but you do have
some coin you're sitting on
2:41:44
great, you know, and at whatever
level of ability or
2:41:49
comfortability you have
participate, because the only
2:41:52
way the show happens is that
way. And what that ultimately
2:41:57
means is I never worked for an
advertiser, I never worked for a
2:42:01
sponsor. I am 100% self
sufficient. And if necessary,
2:42:08
the show can go out in freakin
you know, USB drives and direct
2:42:14
email and stuff like that. I
love it, but doesn't come to
2:42:21
that. No, we
2:42:21
Adam Curry: hope that doesn't
come to that. But well done.
2:42:24
Boys Over there. tin foil hat.
Perfect explanation.
2:42:28
John C Dvorak: That is that's as
good as that is anyone could do.
2:42:31
That's that's hits all the
points it does. Makes everything
2:42:36
clear. And it's sincere. That's
the key. Yes.
2:42:39
Adam Curry: And after 17 years,
it's good to see someone else
2:42:42
picking up on it.
2:42:45
John C Dvorak: It's been a weird
sincerity that you said from the
2:42:48
beginning. I have at least that
you need sincerity. You're not
2:42:53
asking for money. insincerely
No,
2:42:55
Adam Curry: we're not. No, no,
but it's the real deal. I mean,
2:42:58
these you you want your show
provide value back time, talent,
2:43:03
treasure, and since he was 2424
years old, void Zero has been
2:43:11
providing his time and his
talent, his resources to the
2:43:17
show and today he turns 40 years
old 16 years.
2:43:22
John C Dvorak: He has a real
business to Dan and we
2:43:24
Adam Curry: helped him start his
own business. That's right. And
2:43:27
we're very very proud of him and
he's on the birthday list but
2:43:30
first let us think some total
yes of course it's his birthday.
2:43:33
That's why he's on the list. But
he gets a special mention the
2:43:36
void zero man. Just get pawn
them off like I is Mark
2:43:40
birthday. Void zero, that guy.
But first, we need to thank one
2:43:45
of our talented artists for
bringing us the artwork for
2:43:47
episode 1653. We titled that
twigs, which is a new product,
2:43:52
formerly known as vines. That
was a great bid by the way that
2:43:56
a lot of people thought that was
very funny. It was a classic.
2:43:59
Well, the twigs. Yeah, here's a
classic Johnson moment. And Dame
2:44:04
Kenny Ben comes in again, with
with Uncle Joe's or Joe Biden's
2:44:10
uncle Finnegan with his legs
sticking out of the cannibal
2:44:14
pot. Not everybody got it right
away. But if you know you know,
2:44:20
and it was well done, and you
actually remarked that between
2:44:25
Dame Kenny Ben and Anton to
kneel, the N and of course
2:44:30
Martin JJ and others, that the
Dutch artists are really holding
2:44:35
true to their legacy of being
great artists. I mean, these
2:44:40
these are the modern Van Gogh
Rembrandt's Vermeer's I mean
2:44:43
these are well
2:44:45
John C Dvorak: I don't know
about that. But
2:44:48
Adam Curry: what do you mean
this is nitewhite Yeah,
2:44:50
John C Dvorak: great. Yeah,
Queen. Girl hit those people you
2:44:53
just mentioned but and there is
a tradition in in Holland of
2:44:58
great artists. By doing cartoony
show art for the no agenda show.
2:45:05
It kind of demeans, Vermeer? I
say a bit
2:45:11
Adam Curry: What do you mean
man? What do you mean but it's
2:45:15
John C Dvorak: but it's
interesting that there is this
2:45:17
it's it's in the blood or
something that allows this the
2:45:21
weirdness especially on I mean,
we're not at Dutch show no, no
2:45:25
we're not. And we do have three
at least three and maybe more.
2:45:31
That's Dutch. Does that
contribute winning art for yours
2:45:36
instantly
2:45:37
Adam Curry: for years and years?
Yeah,
2:45:40
John C Dvorak: and then we have
another one that's very
2:45:42
competitive. Who is Italian is
scatter a minor manga Yeah, we
2:45:46
have it's like this especially
that where's our Americans are
2:45:49
at the center of my sadena come
up the ball.
2:45:51
Adam Curry: We've got the
Michelangelo of Albemarle
2:45:54
Scaramanga. We
2:45:55
John C Dvorak: do have we do
have the if you look at the
2:45:56
leaderboard, yeah, who is number
one? Nick Duran Oh, yeah.
2:46:02
Adam Curry: New Yorker. He used
to be really good. We don't know
2:46:07
what happened.
2:46:08
John C Dvorak: No, he doesn't do
any he doesn't. He doesn't. Yes,
2:46:10
once he does his own podcast,
he's in a sewer.
2:46:14
Adam Curry: We want to thank all
the artists who contributed we
2:46:16
love being able to choose
Scaramanga tried something with
2:46:23
the witch's Dame Kenny, Ben also
threw in ABC no agenda abc.com
2:46:29
Coloring Book. Couple of people
tried some twigs stuff. We kind
2:46:34
of liked Kenny Ben's Title Nine.
Were kicking the girl in the
2:46:38
crotch, but actually the one we
liked, but we knew we could not
2:46:41
do because it was just too much.
Was Scarah mangas lugs luxury
2:46:47
seaside jus mediums. Oh,
2:46:50
John C Dvorak: yeah, that wasn't
gonna
2:46:52
Adam Curry: happen. Beautiful
piece got everything in there
2:46:55
virtual tours on twigs. 33
units. Welcome to Gaza. I mean,
2:47:01
John C Dvorak: it was a genuine,
it was a gem.
2:47:07
Adam Curry: Man, and then we had
comics, your blogger did some AI
2:47:10
which is kind of cute little kid
eaten sugar. But the AI stuff. I
2:47:14
mean, it's like, you know,
people like, Oh, we've got a
2:47:17
song for the we got a new tune
for our podcast. It's from Ai.
2:47:21
I'm like, Yeah, well, that's
obvious. Because it sucks. That
2:47:26
everyone is like doing AI stuff.
This you're gonna be bland man.
2:47:31
You need the human soul in
there. And out there now. And
2:47:36
now. The face bag is gonna get
into it. Now. I think we're I
2:47:41
think you're right. I think
we've, this is the the pivot,
2:47:44
the pivot of AI. There's nothing
left, nothing left. It's no
2:47:50
good. It's not working. And it's
expensive. And they're not
2:47:53
saying anything about the amount
of energy it cost to run these
2:47:56
things. And there's no
2:47:57
John C Dvorak: that's the key.
And there's no model she went to
2:47:59
in the era of you know, global
warming, the global emergency
2:48:05
global warming emergency or
whatever it is that you play the
2:48:08
clip.
2:48:08
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah. Climate
emergency. Climate emergency.
2:48:12
Yeah. And I can tell you right
now, people doing a Trump with
2:48:18
farts, you're not going to be
chosen. So what are you
2:48:22
thinking? Don't you know us by
now? Don't you know us by now.
2:48:27
Thank you very much, David.
Kenny. Ben, you are fantastic.
2:48:31
All the artists are. And thank
you to Dred Scott, who uses
2:48:34
these all different pieces of
hard work in our chapters. You
2:48:37
need a modern podcast app for
that, but you probably have one
2:48:40
by now. If not, what are you
doing? You're doing it wrong.
2:48:43
And thank you again, no agenda,
art generated.com. Anybody it's
2:48:47
open for all anybody can
participate. And anybody,
2:48:50
everybody makes just as much
chance and it doesn't have to be
2:48:52
some slick piece. It's amazing
sometimes just the creativeness
2:48:56
that does it for us. So you
heard it there from the tinfoil
2:49:00
hat boys time, talent, we got
that covered and treasure. We go
2:49:03
to the treasure portion as we
thank our executive and
2:49:05
Associate Executive producers
for episode 1654 $2 above as an
2:49:10
associate that's a real title,
you get to keep it forever, you
2:49:12
get to open up an account on
imdb.com and we read your notes.
2:49:16
And 300 above is the executive
producer and you get real kudos
2:49:20
for that. And you get to walk
around town to nominee executive
2:49:24
producer. And Steven Hutto gets
to do that he's from St.
2:49:27
Petersburg, Florida. $384.50.
And I see no note from him.
2:49:33
Yeah, I
2:49:34
John C Dvorak: went back and
looked and he he does donate
2:49:38
every so often. He does I
recognize but he does not
2:49:43
necessarily send in a note. And
I my spreadsheet by the way is
2:49:47
screwed out wonky and I can't
move anything. May have to
2:49:51
reload.
2:49:54
Adam Curry: Reload. And
2:49:56
John C Dvorak: then it can't it
doesn't it's just not working by
2:49:58
there. pop back into norm I'm
Alan weird yeah he last time he
2:50:05
wrote a note in which was a
foreigner dollar donation. It
2:50:07
was just a hi, I got a 333 and
my car thing I was in June of
2:50:13
last year, so I just assumed he
didn't write us a note. So he
2:50:17
gets a double up karma. It sure
does. You've got karma brings up
2:50:28
Dixon Craig and St. Albert,
Alberta, Canada. 33333 ATM from

Sherwood Park. Alberta

2:50:38
Adam Curry: Nice okay. Yeah,
2:50:39
John C Dvorak: like the EM. Mark
2:50:42
Adam Curry: could char ski. I
would think it is Aurora,
2:50:45
Colorado, our favorite number
three, three 3.33 It's the magic
2:50:48
numbers. And I've been listening
he says since Adams wrote second
2:50:52
Rogan appearance rugged donation
first time donation. De deuced.
2:50:58
Got yourself the douche in
there. I was going to ask for a
2:51:01
child a sequence of jingles but
thought better of it. Good man.
2:51:06
Can I get a TPP jobs karma from
my smokin hot fiance and our two
2:51:10
d two karma Thanks. Well, of
course she can. Jobs, jobs,
2:51:14
jobs. Jobs karma.
2:51:22
John C Dvorak: James Boyle in
Champaign, Illinois. 33333. And
2:51:26
all he says is value for value.
And that's what he thinks the
2:51:29
show is worth. And I we
appreciate him.
2:51:31
Adam Curry: Yes, thank you very
much. Then we have something in
2:51:33
blue here, which I shall open up
that means we have a note. This
2:51:37
is from surfer. And surfer
donates $300 And this Oh, I
2:51:44
think he's going to change the
title today. Let's see what he
2:51:46
has to say. Note here surfer
it's loading on my computer for
2:51:52
some reason. Why is this taking
so long? It's just a PDF. What's
2:51:56
going here we go. ITM John.
Adam. Switcheroo. Please credit
2:52:01
Neal Jones clip custodian with
this executive producer ship?
2:52:05
Whoa, hold on a second. Let me
put that in clip. Custodian.
2:52:10
Neal Jones. Wow. This is a very
nice, very nice gesture. Let's
2:52:15
find out if he has any more to
say. I'm suspending. Oh, this is
2:52:19
the switcheroo guy. I'm
suspending switcheroo donations
2:52:23
from Mr. Dana Brunetti governor
of Eldorado. Sadly, Mr. Dana has
2:52:27
hardened his heart so that John
may never get a bid part, hoping
2:52:32
someday he might relent and at
least let John have a free image
2:52:36
and likeness scan.
2:52:40
John C Dvorak: And go for that.
Yeah, yeah.
2:52:42
Adam Curry: He was really mad at
me, though, Dana. Oh, yeah, you
2:52:47
John C Dvorak: got to do a beef
guy. He's
2:52:49
Adam Curry: like, You're wrong.
Test. The cybertruck is great.
2:52:53
It's awesome. You fall and you
fall in for the M five M
2:52:57
tiktoks. Say, say up?
2:53:00
John C Dvorak: So quite his
voice. But yeah, yeah. And I
2:53:03
said no, he's no, he's a huge
Tesla fan. I don't know why he
2:53:06
lives out in the middle of
nowhere. But he is
2:53:08
Adam Curry: yeah, when the cyber
truck when the apocalypse comes,
2:53:10
he's going to be dead. Because
the cyber truck won't walk won't
2:53:14
work. Although
2:53:15
John C Dvorak: he's got to write
out he's got about I think he
2:53:17
has like three or four testers.
The way you do it, is you hook
2:53:20
them all together. And you have
one test two or three testers.
2:53:25
And you keep driving to 70,000
psi and then the Tesla drops
2:53:29
down and there's nothing you can
do about you jump into next
2:53:31
Tesla and you drive some more
until it drops dead and then you
2:53:35
have another Tesla you jump into
that you can get across the
2:53:37
country that way. Any smart debt
2:53:40
Adam Curry: guy anyways, he says
I became a bonafide black bear
2:53:44
and after Adams teeth fell out
and he forgot to pronounce the
2:53:47
cake title changes. Wow. Black
Baron is a rare title, if not
2:53:52
unique, seems pretty cool. I'm
going to stick with this title.
2:53:55
While I continue to donate. We
2:53:57
John C Dvorak: have never
approved the official appearance
2:53:59
committee has never approved
this title.
2:54:03
Adam Curry: Are you not
approving it now?
2:54:05
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm just
not approved. I mean, if you
2:54:07
want to call yourself black
bear, and that's fine. But
2:54:09
that's it's not official.
There's only black knights.
2:54:13
Adam Curry: Well, okay. Well,
I'm just I'm just looking at the
2:54:16
official show prep information.
And you're right, he's not on
2:54:22
there. Okay, so he can't say
that he can't call himself that.
2:54:26
He can it's just not official
music. He's a guy donating and
2:54:30
John C Dvorak: he thinks that
you could just cut you could put
2:54:32
him on the list. I'm not doing
2:54:34
Adam Curry: anything I'm not I
don't want to get my head
2:54:36
chopped off by the peerage
committee.
2:54:39
John C Dvorak: Parish committee
does not have that power.
2:54:43

defend democracy, not diminish

it. I see an American we protect
freedoms, not take them away. I
2:57:55
see an economy that grows in
Milan, the bottom up where the
2:57:59
wealthy pay their fair share. So
we can have childcare paid leave
2:58:03
and so much more and still
reduce the federal deficit and
2:58:06
increase economic growth and
free Viagra. Imagine what we can
2:58:11
do next. Four more years. Paul?

to but you already feel good
about that. Because we've kept
3:13:56
your amygdala in check. laugh
about it. These people are
3:13:58

Now let's up it a bit with some
3:14:02
good news.
3:14:03
John C Dvorak: All right, so we
have a nine year old who won the
3:14:05
European he had to go to his
English kid. Seagulls screeching
3:14:11
contest nine year old wow this
is this is a new twist. Yes. Big
3:14:16
it's like the song Bureau's
vision. Eurovision wins cute
3:14:21
little kid that apparently had a
seagull snatch a ham sandwich
3:14:25
from him one year and he got bit
by the thing and they beat now
3:14:28
it sounds like one of
3:14:30
Unknown: the European song
contest with a difference the EC
3:14:34
goal screeching competition sees
entrance mimicking the sound of
3:14:39
seagulls Britain has just won
it. Thanks to a nine year old
3:14:43
from Chesterfield who traveled
to Belgium to claim the
3:14:46
championship title. Here's Sally
Biddle.
3:14:54
Yes, ladies and gentleman that
is a little boy dressed as a
3:14:57
seagull sounding exactly like a
seagull. From the cusp of
3:15:00
winning a seagull competition in
Belgium, channeling the emotion
3:15:04
of a Hungry Girl sealed the
victory No, you have not entered
3:15:12
a parallel universe. This is the
European girl screeching
3:15:15
competition. And with a score of
92 out of 100, the now reigning
3:15:19
Junior Champion Cooper Wallace
from Chesterfield. How you may
3:15:23
ask did it all begin? QR
colleagues this morning?
3:15:27
It was in Devon on Wall Akun
Beach, when one stole my ham
3:15:32
sandwich and it went over my
head and my finger. So I think
3:15:36
it's a Spider Man effect. This
eagle on the highest Cooper
3:15:42
beat off competition from many
others
3:15:49
including from an adult group
ensemble, which entered as a
3:15:52
colony. Cooper's family it was
an experience like no other
3:15:59
really,
3:16:00
really big day for me and like
it was awesome, fairly big news.
3:16:06
Adam Curry: Well, I love I love
that these children are not
3:16:08
scrolling on tick tock. No, no,
they're not just Doom scrolling
3:16:12
away. They're getting out.
They're doing something with
3:16:14
their friends. And I wonder how
many dogs went nuts during the
3:16:19
that good news? Because that was
3:16:22
John C Dvorak: a good point.
3:16:24
Adam Curry: Good, good news.
Good news. Good news. Good news.

US Supreme Court today heard
arguments in the most
3:19:02
significant case on homelessness
in decades.
3:19:05
A majority of the Supreme Court
appear to side with the local
3:19:08
ordinances allowing cities to
ban homeless people for sleeping
3:19:11
or camping in public spaces.
These laws
3:19:13
punish homeless people who have
no other choice really but to
3:19:16
sleep outside.
3:19:18
Your ordinance prohibits a
single person who is homeless
3:19:22
and don't have to have a tent.
You don't have to have a camp.
3:19:25
These
3:19:25
were people who had lived in
Grants Pass their whole lives
3:19:28
and went to high school there.
But a crisis homelessness has
3:19:31
become in the state of
California.
3:19:33
Your statute says that person
cannot take himself can't take a
3:19:37
blanket and sleep someplace
violating this ordinance means
3:19:40
you're homeless homelessness is
not something you can do which
3:19:43
is something that you are we are
nine times more unsheltered
3:19:47
homeless
3:19:48
in a tent on the little league
field a dead body was found
3:19:52
officials say they only cyfle
arrest homeless people when they
3:19:55
refused offers of shelter and
only clearing cabins if they are
3:19:58
a public health issue.
3:20:00
Sleeping in public is kind of
like brief and then public. I'm
3:20:03
increasing the quality and
condition of our city's
3:20:06
deteriorating waste fires.
3:20:09
These laws help encourage people
to accept available shelter
3:20:12
people are dying on our streets.
Do
3:20:15
the homeless have some
constitutional protection from
3:20:19
being criminalized
3:20:21
unchecked growth of homeless
encampments,
3:20:24
the Biden administration who had
filed an amicus brief in support
3:20:28
of the homeless that's
3:20:30
what we see them all over on our
parks and our sidewalks in front
3:20:32
of businesses near schools.
650,000
3:20:36
nationwide isn't the real issue
here not moving people out of
3:20:39
public spaces, but actually
dramatically increasing the
3:20:43
amount of housing that we have.
I
3:20:46
know a lot of people want to
send blankets or water. Just
3:20:49
send your cash and your
3:20:51
statute says that person cannot
take himself can't take a
3:20:55
blanket and sleep someplace
3:20:57
and a lot of people want to send
blankets through water.
3:21:00
Just send your cash
