Adam Curry: Jhansi Dvorak April

Combination media assassination
episode 1655. This is no agenda
foraging for fragments. The
first clue and broadcasting live
from the heartland times is no
country here in FEMA Region
number six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: from Northern
Silicon Valley where the
correspondents dinner looks like
it's on its last legs. I'm John
C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. I didn't
even I didn't even know it was
on until 1030 Last night. Why
would you? Use I got I clipped
some stuff from it.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I got one I
might clip is if you notice what
it says. No, I didn't even get
any clips. I didn't see is this
it's the clip is called core
dinner. Comic two. Oh,
Adam Curry: is this is this? Is
this the guy who did the Trump
stuff?
John C Dvorak: No, it is just
the go no, go No. main
Adam Curry: guy. Good because I
headline I didn't clip anything
from joste
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, he
you notice it says comic too
because I was first I start from
the back. I clipped a bit then I
Adam Curry: got thrown out. Is
that was that what one
John C Dvorak: got thrown out?
As well as bite bite? By the way
you have the whole Biden bit?
Well, you're not gonna play the
whole Biden. No, six minutes.
No. But you can't go out and do
a roast if Biden did a kind of a
crappy roast on Trump. But Trump
was in there. That's
Adam Curry: why I clip the
comedians,
John C Dvorak: violation of all
comedy rules.
Adam Curry: The whole thing was
this oh, this is what they call
the nerd ball. And this is where
the mainstream media gets
together with their Hollywood
buddies. And they all go
together and they laugh about
Trump and Fox News. And that's
basically the whole thing and
then Kamala Harris sat next to
some guy who came right out of
Star Trek Deep Space Nine who
turned out to be a political
guy. You see that the black guy
with the with the Afro and he
had like he's
John C Dvorak: going you're
nailing? Like what is basically
nailing what is
Adam Curry: happening here. It's
it You're right. I think this
was last legs for this thing. It
was the the mainstream media
last gasp gasp Yeah. Yeah. I
mean, I mean, it'll be around
forever, but people are tuning
out. They just did just not
listening anymore.
John C Dvorak: Well, it was
bombing from the get go. It was
pretty bad. Kelly O'Donnell
who's the new achieve muckety
muck the president of the club
Adam Curry: who was very
excited. He running around,
which I'm
John C Dvorak: watching her
she's she's playing spot this
book, she comes up high on the
list only because of her Wiki
pages. That girl who's been a
correspondent for NBC for 2030
years. She's the head of the
Correspondents Association,
which is not as minor operation.
And her wiki page is so weird.
It's missing everything. It's
like, why are they telling us
this? Why is it telling us that?
And she's she has all the
earmarks of one of these people.
Adam Curry: Well, that's left. I
mean, the guests are all spooks
I mean, literally former CIA,
FBI. General this Colonel that
and I mean, why not? Might as
well have them talking to each
other. That's what it's all
about. It's all about military
industrial depth. Sorry, the
defense industrial base, and oil
and gas control. That's all
that's going on right now. So
why not? We might as well do
that and cover it up as you know
make it look like news.
John C Dvorak: To nothing was
funny, this guy Joseph Jost, or
however you pronounce his name
Joe's toast. He was bombing
Adam Curry: also came out. There
was well, there was a lot of,
oh, we're just stupid, man. Our
wives are better. Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: a good point.
He's
Adam Curry: married Scarlett
Johansson, and was like, Well,
clearly, you know, the true star
is here. And he was even playing
like, what what does that word
I'm looking for? Where are you?
It's like feminization almost,
and then dug
John C Dvorak: deep to where
you're looking for thetic
Adam Curry: Doug Doug's second
fiddle you're just Oh, the
commoner as the got the winter
pants. Jill's wearing the pants.
Everyone. All women are better
than men in DC. That's what it
was. Yes. Pathetic. Alright,
let's play joste Fox News.
John C Dvorak: This is man. This
is I believe, and it got done.
Nothing Not much of a response
but nothing did it did this
whole audience was dead as a
doornail. And there's when they
shot pictures of the audience in
the up here little they had a
mic a little bit so you can hear
some laugh but you saw nobody
laughing No,
Adam Curry: it's because most of
it wasn't except the coke joke.
That was kind of funny. It
John C Dvorak: was kind of
funny, but it didn't go over
well, which bombed it bomb too.
And it had either a lot to do
with the fact that the Democrats
don't have any writers that can
write comedy or stand up style
comedy in this era. But this is
probably the funniest of the
bits. I thought because it
brought in something you always
like to bitch about. And I
thought it was at least
moderately okay, but this was
the tone of the whole event. Fox
Unknown: News is here tonight.
It's the end of an era. Rupert
Murdoch stepped down at Fox
News, which is strange. I didn't
think there was a step down from
foxes. Trump media is here.
Trump media. Not at a table just
screaming loudly in the corner
to no one. Wordle is here
tonight. Sorry, sorry. I meant
the New York Times. I forgot
they do stuff in addition to
puzzles. To say it's not a great
sign when the only thing keeping
a print media company alive are
games people play on their
phones. To chilling for you
guys.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was the
only smart that even it was just
embarrassing for everybody. It's
gotten so bad, John, the people
don't even want to listen to our
show anymore. Because we play
mainstream media clips. Yeah,
I'm telling you. I'm telling
you. Oh, it's like a cancer.
Yeah. I wonder what we're doing
here. I saw the donations come
in. I'm like, okay, short show.
Short show everybody short,
short show today. Short
John C Dvorak: sheath short
show. Yeah, that's right. Short
show night when it's I want to
also throw out my condolences to
now Yes. cast her and her
husband are now has her brother
Brian. Brian hoganson. He was
the guy who had spinal cord
cancer, some sort of weird
cancer. And he unfortunately,
passed away just before we
received the ABC just before he
received as knighting ring as
sad day for the show. Yeah. And
we're stuck. We're Brian was a
great guy. He's in Brownwood,
Texas. You may have met him. I
think I probably did. Yeah.
Yeah. So there's that. That's
right. I didn't write my
spirits.
Adam Curry: Now. He's not
donating any more, that's for
sure. Come on, everybody.
Suppose to lighten the mood a
little bit. But also, I don't
know about your email. But we
must be right over some kind of
target. Because I'm getting it.
I'm getting flack from both
sides. On one side, no anti
semitism, they're there. They're
beating Jews up. They're doing
this to the Jews and ever. I
mean, this one lady was so mad
at me. And then on the other
side, clearly, clearly, they are
threatening you and your family.
That's why you're lying. You're
wirelessly doing all this.
You're purposely saying that
America controls Israel and
settled the other way around. We
all know, we all know the
silence control the world. And
so I'm like, okay,
John C Dvorak: I get it. I get a
couple of you guys, that weren't
your user when they're brought
up? The concept that this Jewish
the intimidation of Jewish
students on campus is overblown
by mostly the right wing media.
And so you would get that flack
because I had didn't dive into
that. Well, I've
Adam Curry: got more common.
Well, let me let me just start
with something that was amazing
to me this morning. We have a
long memory for certain things.
You haven't you have them you
skip over a period and you have
a way longer memory. But this
one goes back to the days when
we I mean, people were still
using blackberries. Okay, the
smartphones had been out for a
couple of years. This is still
from the BlackBerry age, which
means that there was not as
there was social media and
Twitter was kind of there. You
know, we had YouTube but it was
very, very early days. And now
it's like history repeating
itself. The flotilla is
Unknown: back, the odd thinness
will lead the flotilla of three
ships from Istanbul carrying
more than 5000 metric tons of
aid to Gaza, including medical
supplies and food. The flotilla
is organized by a coalition of
international and Turkish
humanitarian groups. They say
it's not just about delivering
aid, but challenging what they
describe as Israel's blockade on
Gaza. They want Israel to allow
a to enter from Egypt. So
we hope to break the illegal
naval blockade of Gaza that
Israel has had on it for
decades. We all hope to
certainly bring food medicines
that are needed by the people of
Gaza. It's a small drop in the
bucket. We're calling for the
the border of Rafah to be opened
where there's tons of food
that's waiting. It's been
14 years since 14 organizers
last tried to break the
blockade. Last time Israeli
commandos intercepted the Mavi
Marmara, the vessel leading the
flotilla raid that the deaths of
10 people, activists say they
are aware of the dangers they
face, but say the risk is worth
taking considering the scale of
the humanitarian crisis so it
right
Adam Curry: there it 14 years
ago, this exact same thing
happened they had the Freedom
Flotilla now of course, we
didn't have social media the way
we have it now today. So it was
almost like a non of it was it
was like, oh, it's shocking
because the IDF they dropped
people onto the onto the main
ship, and there were some
gunfire and people got killed.
Let's go back to Episode 205 of
the no agenda show. And listen
to we discuss them.
John C Dvorak: Nice. So I got a
couple more clips for you unless
you have some funny Well, no, I
Adam Curry: will I don't want to
get to the end of the show and
not having at least discussed
the flotilla incident. Oh,
right.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we have to
talk about that. So let's do it
right now. Yes. So let's get it
out of the way. So
Adam Curry: here's what I'm
seeing. I'm seeing that Turkey
is getting a little bit too cozy
with Iran mainly. And so this
seems to be like a pre emptive
type type of strike. I was
listening to the BBC, the
Turkish Turkish Turkish ship,
from people on board that I
heard on the BBC, admit that
they set sail to break the
blockade to be provocative. So,
you know, it's like, they set
out to be provocative. And they
got, I guess, I guess they got
what they what they were hoping
to get. Exactly. So we're
witnessing it the same thing all
over again, if you listen to
episode 205, it was all about
pipelines all about oil is all
about gas offshore. It's the
same thing but no, no, no, oh,
no. This anti semitism, we've
got to stop the anti semitism
everywhere. It's horrible. And
by the way, when someone says, I
hate Zionist or I hate Jews,
fine, call it anti semitism.
It's also free speech. And
that's ending. They've played
both sides on this, played them
because now we got the
legislation coming. First,
here's Robert Cohen, Professor
of History at NYU,
Unknown: you have the donors,
threatening them, Congress
threatening them. So there's a
lot of pressure, they could lose
their job as the president of
Harvard loses their job, because
of what's seen as in
inadequately repressive, you
know, policing of these
demonstrations, then anybody
could lose their job. And what's
dangerous about that is that
who's going to protect free
speech and academic freedom? If
the college and university
presidents are under this
pressure, and are afraid, given
Congress's hostility to these
demonstrations, which are
equated with terrorism and Hamas
sympathizers and anti semitism,
that they want these
demonstrations to be suppressed?
I didn't see any anti semitic
incidents. And I'm Jewish, I was
on the I was there for a while,
and it was kind of welcome. So
So
Adam Curry: I only have two more
clips. I just want to get this
out of my system. So now they're
coming up with anti semitism
legislation, which is an
inherent restriction on free
speech. And while everyone's
fighting, they're going to start
passing stuff that's not Hello,
Australia. Hello, eu. Hello, UK,
America is close behind. Just
Unknown: next week on the house
calendars just added that the
house is going to be taking up
the anti semitism awareness act.
This is a bill that was actually
written in a bipartisan way all
the way back in October, after
the October 7 attacks in Israel.
But since then, it has been sort
of dormant, it could get new
life now and what this bill
would do, if it became law is
redefine what it means to be
incorporated into anti semitic
acts of harassment. The
definition would change to
include denying Jewish self
determination to their ancestral
homeland of Israel, and also
holding Jews collectively
responsible for actions of the
government of Israel. So in real
terms, what that means is
certain protest chants that
we're hearing across university
campuses, around the country and
at other pro Palestinian
rallies, could all of the sudden
now become punishable under
federal anti discrimination law.
So potentially this could have
an impact right away. Over in
the Senate. There's also a
similar version to this. We're
not sure exactly what the Senate
is going to do with that if it
will move along with this house
bill. But this all comes in the
wake of speaker Mike Johnson
going to Columbia University in
that dramatic fashion,
addressing some of the
protesters directly an on
camera, also giving that
address. And he said also that
universities may end up losing
federal funding if they can't
control some of the protests
that we've been seeing. So
Adam Curry: here it comes. Just
as I said,
John C Dvorak: stop, stop, stop.
So I think it may be one of the
reasons donations is down
because I don't give or in you
and I both don't do this enough,
which is that's Clip of the Day.
Oh, wow.
Adam Curry: Thank you. Oh, wow,
donation shot up because
John C Dvorak: Oh, wow, groovy.
Now
Adam Curry: MSNBC went into a
little bit of detail. Key words
coming up for this
Unknown: bill would do a lot.
And it really is a monumental
piece of legislation from my
bipartisan group in the house in
the Senate, led by Jackie rose,
and she is one of the first
Jewish women to serve in the
Senate. So certainly, this has
symbolic meaning for her. But
this bill would create a point
person essentially a strategic
adviser to the president of any
administration. This doesn't
just tap out with President
Biden it's supposed to be a role
in which this person advises
inner agencies has coordination
not only with the federal
government, but also the
Department of Education, for
example, when it comes to anti
semitism in higher education,
also coming out with a strategy
and implementing that plan
online as well. Quick nine in
10, Jewish Americans feel like
anti semitism is the highest
it's ever been. That's according
to a new Pew Research poll from
last week. This is something
that of course has bubbled over
after the October 7 Tomas attack
on Israel and Israel's invasion
of Gaza since that is claimed
many lives. Okay,
Adam Curry: so there it is. Been
John C Dvorak: up by the way,
did you get spun up by the
mainstream media now it's the
worst thing is worse than ever.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Here's the
point. online as well. I don't
know if people have been
watching what's happening in the
UK. But if you go on Facebook,
or Instagram or x, then you say,
Oh, you don't Tran. x x. You
say, Hey, you dump training, you
get arrested, you get arrested
is true. This is coming here is
John C Dvorak: in England, and
Canada is going to be this way.
This is if it isn't already in
Australia, for sure. So while
Adam Curry: everybody's all
upset about who's to blame, and
yeah, meanwhile, Mike Johnson
is, you know, he's been
captured.
John C Dvorak: And we're all
getting an appointment now
fighting
Adam Curry: and they're
dividing, and they're going to
actually shut down your speech.
And no one is standing up and
going out. Hold on a second. No,
I have the right to say whatever
I want about an Arab, a Jew, a
Muslim, a Christian, whatever.
That's the right that we have
inherent in this country, in our
country. And we're letting it
just oh, we're all arguing about
oh, they're Zionist. A horrible
on the Palestinians. It's all
bad. Go ahead. Go ahead. Hey,
listen. Look, Tina. Tina can
take her Social Security in two
months. I'm only two years away.
I'm good. I'm good. I want to
sit back and do something melts.
But it's it's all going to shut
down if we don't pay attention.
John C Dvorak: You go that was
good. Yeah,
Adam Curry: thanks. Let me see.
Steady Oh, it's super pathetic.
Meanwhile, and this is being
used everywhere. And
John C Dvorak: he's you know,
this is also what when you saw
that correspondents dinner,
which I think you rightly point
out it was it's been taken over
by spooks totally and it's so
it's not funny because of all
the things I mean we have no
qualms with the intelligence
agencies we try to figure out
what they're up to. But they're
largely humorless
Adam Curry: and not good at
humorous true they're not
John C Dvorak: funny guys. And
so you get see this
correspondents dinner and
there's nothing funny going on
and material that was written
for Biden was I would call it
the only way to put it chicken
shit. It was it was weak. It was
like it was but it was also
chicken shit. He's These mice
will be doing the fart farting
in court jokes. And and I was
thinking about that I was going
through some some stuff and I
realized one of the things
that's disappeared in a kind of
disappeared in the, I guess,
during the Clinton
administration when when
political correctness really
started taking hold, which was
in the late 70s. In fact,
College Humor magazines have all
disappeared. What used to be the
joke editor for the California
Pelican and the California
Pelican went out of business in
1980, something and all the
College Humor magazines went out
of business. And one of the
things you did as the joke
editors, you looked at all the
other college magazines and
stole their jokes and put it in
yours. And it was just basically
stealing material. I still
remember a number of jokes I
stole. And but there was none
left. I mean, they Harvard
Lampoon I think, was the last
one, and it became kind of semi.
Now
Adam Curry: we have, we have not
the Babylon B. That's all
John C Dvorak: that's left. Yet
even the onion can't perform,
though.
Adam Curry: Now, but listen to
this 2010 We had this exact same
argument, even though it was
really about defense industrial
base resources, who controls
energy in the world? That was
2010. What happened in 2011? I
just looked it up. bullying
laws. Remember the bullying
laws? This is what started off.
Bullying? Well, we had to have a
task force
Unknown: because Minnesota has
one of the weakest bullying laws
in the nation, Governor Dayton,
the task force to recommend
changes witnesses,
children in Minnesota are being
subjected to a form of
harassment, a form of emotional
torture, emotional torture, and
people in authority are not
responding and not preventing
that acting upon it. It's just
something that is so in
Minnesota and that it's it's
hard to fathom. The Governor's
executive order forms a
taskforce of no more than 15
people, including the
commissioners of education and
public safety. It's to make its
recommendations to the governor
no later than next August 1. But
one of the challenges is
engaging kids themselves at the
bullying hotline and website at
the PACER Center in Bloomington
counselors say one of the number
one reasons kids don't report
bullying is because they're
afraid there'll be next.
Adam Curry: If you look at our
clip list, there's a 50 by 50.
That was from 2011. This this is
how they do it. It's a repeat of
history a repeat. And as
Churchill said, Those who do not
learn from history are doomed
and bound to repeat it. And here
we go. Here we go. So but now
it's going to be a little more
interesting, particularly since
the President can determine any
app that is yours for an
interest can be shut down.
Illegal or non legal traffic can
be shut down by your ISP thanks
to the FCC vote. Everything is
going to be monitored as they do
effect. I
John C Dvorak: think I do I have
a clip on the same
Adam Curry: thing we talked
about on the last show. I don't
know. We're voting. Voting on it
last on Thresh
John C Dvorak: neutrality is
back clip. Oh yeah, here we go.
Unknown: The FCC is promising
set a safe, fast and reliable
internet for all after it voted
to restore its regulatory power
over internet service providers
and peers.
This week, the FCC passed a
measure to reclassify broadband
as a public utility like water
or electricity, deeming it an
essential service. This
effectively restores the Obama
era Net Neutrality rules that
were rolled back under President
Trump. Net Neutrality means
broadband companies like Comcast
and 18 t can't deliberately slow
down internet speeds for
customers. There's no pay to
play for faster speeds and no
favoritism for certain content,
which could stifle competition
from services such as Netflix or
Spotify. telecom companies are
expected to sue the FCC. They
argue the rules are government
overreach and try to solve a
problem that doesn't exist. Oh
Adam Curry: yeah, don't worry.
They're going to solve problems.
They're going to block Tor exit
nodes. So welcome. I want to
John C Dvorak: I like to, I like
to use the word Safe, safe and
fast. way not safe and effective
as safe and fast. Don't
Adam Curry: want safe this safe.
John C Dvorak: What does that
mean? It means
Adam Curry: no pesky podcasts.
But actually that's the that
will be the last to go. Because
you know we we've decentralized
that enough, but you know
rumble, YouTube, everything will
be safe like AOL. AOL was safe,
safe. It was safe and effective.
TRT Turkish radio, television
anywhere already had a
reasonable overview of what are
effectively Black Lives Matter
protests part two, which are now
worldwide of course being used
in for different means and they
don't have to go after free
speech in the UK anymore.
They've already they already
tamp that down with the digital
services built act. So you're
already screwed if you want to
say speak your mind in the UK.
Unknown: Here's an overview of
the push for Palestinian
freedom. Students solidarity has
grown at George Washington
University. Despite police
pinning protesters in students
Selena how Shahabi camped out
since Tuesday has been part of
negotiations with the university
she W's response
administration's responses. I
Adam Curry: love these kids
who've been screened who've been
chanting so much that their
voices are shot all over
Unknown: the place. Oh, tough
negotiations with the
university.
She W's response
administration's responses, they
kind of just want us out. It's
clear by their deployment of
police trying to barricade us
and they've already suspended
seven students and said they
don't want to listen to
students. They just want to kick
us out. shut us down. And that
is disgusting.
Professors like Barbara Wien
have been joining students every
day to show their support to
students or
the teachers.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
This this is here it is. Get
your pronouns ready, lady,
because the students are the
teacher
Unknown: students or the
teachers, and they are the
conscience of the country.
They're the moral compass.
They're the moral barometer.
They're idiots
led protests. Quickly in the
last week, with encampments
springing up dozens of
universities, their demands
follow a common theme for an
immediate ceasefire in Gaza. And
for institutions like this one,
to cut ties with firms
supporting Israel, the
protesters say are complicit in
the bloodshed. However, hundreds
of arrests have turned some
colleges into battlegrounds
between police and protesters.
This is
insane. I just saw police use
unnecessary violence for
peaceful protesters, I saw
police knock students to the
Adam Curry: ground. For me
personally, I'm planning to stay
here until our demands are met.
Or they're going to have to drag
me out of here. That guy who
just heard there, he's 30 years
old. These people are not all
college students. This is
completely fabricated. Again,
you've got all the green tents,
you've even got lawyers walking
around with green baseball caps,
the green stuff, so green, there
was
John C Dvorak: a discussion I
didn't I I thought about
clipping it, but I didn't it was
on PBS. And it was a couple of
professors going back and forth
about how people are handling
this. And it was noted that the
old pros like University of
California, Berkeley, okay,
pitcher tents here, just don't
get in the way. You can stay
here as long as you want. And
they didn't bring any cops in or
if this was just a bunch of
idiots sleeping in tents,
Adam Curry: privileged,
privileged idiots
John C Dvorak: privilege is a
privilege, I stepped into the
tank. And so meanwhile, in
Colombia and other places where
they bring in the police, it it
goes bad, it goes sour, because
but you know, at Berkeley,
they've understood this, because
they have experienced it goes
back on this, you don't do that.
And when they have when it goes
south like it does in Colombia,
all these outsiders come in,
because that's where the action
is. And it just makes it worse.
But these are the inexperienced,
and they attributed it to middle
management and upper management
at schools that have no
experience with student protests
whatsoever. And they just they
will, they're bound to screw it
up and make a mess. Tell us
what's going on.
Adam Curry: So here's the so
it's Black Lives Matter the same
people. And this is the BDS
crowd. So boycott, divest, and
sanction. They all want the oil
you know, like universities of
course I mean that actually
educating anybody there
investing in in companies
apparently. So go you've got to
divest from all your
investments. If it wasn't in in
oil companies now it can't be in
a guest defense companies. I
don't know what what other
industry does Israel have? And
then oh, you know what, let's
bring out Angela Davis,
Unknown: renowned civil rights
activist professor and author
Angela Davis surprising those
sticking out on Tivoli claw.
They say you shouldn't meet your
heroes but like she lived up to
it. Davis emphasizing
what this means for history. You
will be the historical actors
who made it possible. A
breakthrough in the struggle
against Zionism
despite the wet weather
protesters to occupy the lawn
and plan to sleep here
overnight.
I'm not a politician. I don't
have all the answers. But I do
have the passion in the world to
try and get our politicians to
do their job demanding
full transparency from CU.
John C Dvorak: But where was
this word? Angela Davis show up.
She's from the Bay Area as far
as I know,
Adam Curry: Denver. Denver's our
she went to
John C Dvorak: and let's
remember it Angela Davis is a
out and out. Marks. Communist.
Yes, of course.
Adam Curry: But this is what she
says and it's in you know, and
then the cops are brought in and
oh, you know, the cops all cops
are bastards. They're horrible.
It's where the Briggs pigs were
the bricks bring out the bricks,
we're gonna throw some bricks up
Unknown: demanding full
transparency from CU about the
school's financial investments.
Joining hundreds of other campus
protests across the country
demanding change
protests is the peaceful
defiance of unjust rules. And if
we pay a real to send him a
script,
Adam Curry: I love this lady,
and we're being real and then
she puts her phone down. This
isn't in my script. Because
she's an actress and if we can
reel the scene in my script, and
lucky when Bernie damn lucky Oh,
they're lucky when I burned up.
Now in London, little different.
The organizers there are all
members of the Labour Party and
they want to have elections. I
have
Unknown: not seen anything like
this is absolutely incredible on
several fronts in coming after
seven months, and we haven't
seen the numbers dwindle. And
this has been spreading outside
London.
Today marks the 13th national
demonstration for Palestine. But
10s of 1000s of back on the
streets of the capital from all
over the country. All
Adam Curry: these people that
guy heard in the beginning and
the next speaker, all Labour
Party members and they've got
professional signs world Workers
Party Socialist Party, it's this
is a political move they're
making here.
Unknown: But the political
pressure is mounting from all
sides. This movement is facing
increasing propaganda against
it. The British Zionist lobby
say marches like this one are
anti semitic. However, the
British Jewish community leaders
hand individuals on these very
marches say, this isn't about
religion. It's about humanity.
We're opening the Jewish we're
on the march. We're calling for
ceasefire. Now, Jews are not
under threat. People who defend
genocide will be criticized for
what's going on in Gaza is a
stain on humanity. And we all
must raise our voices to see it
ended as soon as possible.
As the death toll soars to more
than 34,000. In Gaza. It's
business as usual for ourselves
from the UK to Israel. The UK
government is now facing a legal
challenge, as many points to
possible breaches of
international law.
Adam Curry: You go arms sales,
of course, and then more
political strife, more protests.
I don't know. It's still in the
Red Book. I'm on the fence
again, a sea
Unknown: of white and blue flags
on the streets of Tel Aviv.
1000s of Israelis, demanding
that the government bring their
compatriots home. After almost
seven months of war, and with no
hostage deal in sight. Many are
turning their fury on Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
his right wing government.
Families
of the hostages were gathered to
call upon the Cabinet members
get out of government if you
can't secure the hostage deal.
Now.
This is job number one of the
Government of Israel job number
one and they failed
dramatically. They should go all
the government's all the 64
members. This
protest was further inflamed by
a video released by Hamas that
appeared to show two hostages
taken during the October 7
terror attack. Netanyahu and his
government insists that securing
the release of all hostages is
their top priority. But many are
losing faith that Israeli
leaders are really doing all
that they can I want for
elections
to be held. Not in a year or
two. But
right now as soon as possible. I
want all the hostages back
because I can see the government
does not want them back. They
want to make this war go as long
as possible.
We've been terrorized by our
government by our leadership.
For more than six months. They
haven't been doing whatever they
needed to do.
Hamas considers Israel's latest
proposal for a ceasefire in
Gaza. negotiators have hinted
that a hostage deal might be
close. So
Adam Curry: that's Deutsche
valor. So our intelligence
services so you're like oh,
let's put BB under a little bit
of pressure there. BB BB it
better and better get something
going on.
John C Dvorak: I guess what's
that? I say when I'm gonna move
along. And so things are by the
way, I should mention that you
brought in the UK that my one of
our one of the friends of the
show. Do
Adam Curry: we have Have friends
left if we guess
John C Dvorak: he wants to make
me let it be known that the
Labour is going to totally kick
ass in the next elections so I
believe it take over the country
and the next prime minister for
people who want to kind of keep
both are placing bets for you
betters out there this Kier
Starmer creep, which is
basically what it is. It will be
the next prime minister. What's
key here key k e ir Starmer sta
RT m er, so
Adam Curry: they're going full
on?
John C Dvorak: He's a socialist
communist, basically. Yeah.
Excellent.
Adam Curry: And they won't be
able to say anything, you know,
because you can't predict now so
that you and I are staunchly
anti war, anti death. We don't
like any of that. And we don't
like this horrible 34,000 people
dead. It's so unbelievable to
me, that we don't talk about the
hundreds of 1000s that are dead
in Ukraine, our closest ally,
who we just sent.
John C Dvorak: No, I'm joking,
even bring up Africa. No,
Adam Curry: no, no, that then
people will run away. And then
and this is the latest barely
gets any news. But I love the
terms is very short clip. And I
love what's happening as
Unknown: Russia steps up its
attack so your client says it
will suspend consular services
for military aged men abroad.
Authorities now want to ensure
that men aged between 18 and 60
living abroad return home. Many
Ukrainians say they are being
unfairly targeted. Military
Adam Curry: aged men now is
between 18 and 66. To
John C Dvorak: imagine that
maybe we can put you in the
crosshairs, right?
Adam Curry: They're like, hey,
we can use you for we can use
you as cannon fodder for a
couple of months. Yeah, and
these guys
John C Dvorak: are last probably
for a while. No, no, no, no,
Adam Curry: no. It's unknown.
Oh, who cares? They're
Ukrainians. Not the same thing.
They're not brown.
John C Dvorak: So before we
leave the Middle East, I do have
this. I had this wild clip,
which is the My rub alized clip.
This is just one of these things
that I picked. I pulled down
from PBS NewsHour, that to me,
it was just like a head shaker
go. Okay. You know, for one
thing, they make a big thing
about the Israelis going to
roughen No, no, no, don't do
that. They already did it. And
here's the clip.
Unknown: Egypt has sent a high
level delegation to Israel
tonight, hoping to revive talks
for a hostage deal and ceasefire
with Hamas. But Cairo also
warned against an Israeli
assault on the southern Gaza
City of Rafah along the border
with Egypt. Much of Gaza has
already been reduced to a
wasteland with UN officials
estimating 37 million tons of
debris to be removed. They said
today that the cleanup operation
will be a mammoth job
with 100 trucks. We're talking
about 14 years of work with 100
trucks. So that's based on that
figure 14 years to remove with
approximately 750,000 workdays,
person workdays to remove the
debris. Wow.
John C Dvorak: Wow. Wow, that's
Rob alized. Verbalize right in
saying Don't go in there for
what you just stubbed your toe?
I mean, there's no nothing
there.
Adam Curry: Unbeliev but you
know, You're heartless You're
heartless
John C Dvorak: 14 years of clean
up.
Adam Curry: You're heartless to
vorak. Anyway, right on cue,
right on cue, we pass we pass
the bill the money's in and
Unknown: as you mentioned,
Ukraine is also asking for these
patriots. Batteries. And your
European allies seem to have
those batteries but securing
them won't be as easy as it
seems. Yes,
Ukraine says that their allies
in Europe have 100 of these
Patriot systems which are
extremely effective and they're
saying if we can get seven
systems you know that you have
of out of 100 that you have a
dear allies? Well, this would be
enough to block you know, the
bulk of Russian attacks that's
what the Ukrainians are saying
but it's not easy because
European countries you know if
the giveaway their defense
systems well you know, they're
losing some deterrence a
countries like Greece and Spain
they've been asked to give away
some of their missiles that the
missiles the defense system,
some interceptors and well,
they've been saying, Well, you
know, we don't really want to
give them away, even though
we're allies with Ukraine and
the US is saying that they're
gonna send a faster gonna rush
in some patriots, but not the
systems themselves. Only the
missiles that intercept you
know, the missiles coming in
from Russia.
Adam Curry: This woman was so
out of breath. By the end of
this report. She was just Aside
herself
John C Dvorak: is it is what it
was this fence, France 24,
France 24 They have a couple of
these breathless reporters that
there's one way they are all the
time. Always like this. She's
just like she just ran up a
flight of steps and she's trying
to catch your breath. So I have
a terrible reporter.
Adam Curry: I have boots on the
ground report and then I want to
show you how this works in
practice. Because you know, we
pass $96 billion worth and you
know, Ukraine aid Israel aid.
And we all know that we read the
bill, it's a procurement law
John C Dvorak: reading bills, it
doesn't help the donations.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're gonna
blame you're gonna blame that on
the donation? Do
John C Dvorak: I have to blame
somebody? Wow,
Adam Curry: how about your
newsletter was no good.
John C Dvorak: Oh, there Yes. He
can't see can't take it.
Adam Curry: People are saying
read do read legislation the
more I do it and then run away.
You're right. That's the end of
it. So boots on the ground. I
work in the belly
John C Dvorak: way. Hold on a
second. You see, you stopped me
in my tracks. People have said
to you
Adam Curry: continuous? More
likely. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. You
John C Dvorak: have nutty
listeners. Do we have here out
there there are donating anyway.
Yeah. They should have coughed
up some big bucks
Adam Curry: for that draft.
Yeah, no, no, not not even not
even an attaboy
John C Dvorak: another they
should have done double because
you marked it up and posted and
not
Adam Curry: even an Attaboy.
Nothing. Crickets. I'm never
doing it again. So it was 270
pages. All right. Now listen to
this. I work in the belly of the
beast at an Air Force base where
a couple of F 35 squadrons are
based and wasn't in a fairly
high level meeting this week
where a couple interesting
details were mentioned. The
first is that now Finland is a
member of NATO, they will be
purchasing F 30. Fives ASAP.
Yeah, exactly. Good for our GDP.
Each of these is in the
neighborhood of $90 million,
just to manufacture. And that
goes without mentioning whatever
cost increase will happen for a
foreign military sale. This
doesn't even begin to get into
what it will cost Finland to
maintain these jets. You see,
Lockheed Martin is a real pain
to work with on this because the
government let them keep all of
the data rights. So they
Lockheed Martin gets to decide
how where and who performs the
maintenance work. Of course,
since they own the data rights,
they will take a cut everywhere
they can because they have to be
involved in everything. If you
asked me, Lockheed Martin is
probably the one that convinced
Finland to join NATO. He was
going people it's all about like
it. Second, the Air Force is
being told that money for large
projects will be scarce with the
department within the Department
of Defense, because the Navy
needs at all to move naval bases
due to the rise of sea level. My
best guess is that the leaders
in the Navy know they aren't
about to get flooded. But they
see an opportunity to take
advantage of a bunch of idiots
coming their way. It's
John C Dvorak: the Navy they
flow Who cares whether they're
flooded? They got boats are
Adam Curry: our boots on the
ground suggests maybe they
should build a base on Jon's
mudflats since they seem to be
immune from the sea level rise.
John C Dvorak: Looking out there
right now, by the way. Yep,
nothing has changed. As an aside
this at 90. As an
Adam Curry: aside, this
conversation came up because we
are perpetually out of money for
large projects. It's wild to see
$1 trillion worth of funding go
to the Department of Defense.
But basically none of it makes
it down the change chain due to
so much fraud. And third, he
says You are absolutely correct
about ramping up for China. We
are sent briefings about the
threat from China regularly and
they are getting more frequent.
The latest one was all about how
projecting out to 2025. China
will have more planes, more
ships and missiles than all of
the US, Australia, Japan and
South Korea put together the
message was pretty clear. We
have to build more stuff and we
can't let them steal our
designs. I'll also mention that
I have never seen a briefing
about the threat from Russia,
ISIS, North Korea or anyone
else. It's all China all the
time. And so now we get to oh,
you know what we have we got
another 100 billion dollars.
Well, all right. Then here.
Remember we had that 7.8 billion
earmarked for for Ukraine for
actual money going to Ukraine,
which is now partially being
released. This was not a big
news item. And it's being
released so they can buy our
stuff.
Unknown: Let's bring in our
Louis Martinez covers the
Pentagon for us also MC Mulroy,
our security and defense
analyst.
Let's start with you, Louis and
just talk about this aid
package. Clearly this is a part
of that massive foreign aid
package that we announced or
President Biden announced just
days ago. Now getting in to the
nitty gritty of exactly what
this means for Ukraine and
Israel.
No, you're right here. It's been
a really busy week with regards
to Ukraine in the funding
levels, the 95 billion of which
60 billion of it was intended
for Ukraine. And immediately
after that, we saw the billion
dollars in immediate aid. These
are weapons in the US inventory
that are being provided
immediately to
Adam Curry: me. So there's 1
billion went immediately for
Ukraine to spend on buying stuff
from our contractors, okay,
that's 1 million
Unknown: to Ukraine. There's
another portion of that money,
which goes towards future
weapons buys. That's where the
$6 billion, though,
Adam Curry: the Pentagon just
announced six additional $6
billion $7 billion total. So
about 800 million left that
Unknown: with the secretary
Austin announced just came in.
This is $6 million that the
United States will provide so
that Ukraine can purchase
additional new weapons, and of
course work from home. The focus
here is on air defense. You
heard him talking specifically
about more artillery ammunition
you heard and specifically
talking about more missiles for
those Patriot systems. You also
heard defense secretary Austin
talking about how the United
States and other countries are
going to pinch seems like try to
provide more Patriot systems
those launchers that Ukraine is
so desperately asking for, as
Russia keeps launching more
attacks on Ukraine cities, the
question is when will they
arrive given that they're in
such dire need?
Adam Curry: So three days ago,
attack Holmes attack comes
attack comes attack comes, which
the President of the United
States does not have to give? We
read that in the legislation
again, I repent. I'm sorry, I
did that. So and now it's Oh,
patriots. We need missiles.
Patriots. Patriots, patriots.
Alright, here's $6 billion. Shut
up. Buy it from those guys. It's
all a buy, Bill. It's insane.
Okay. We're being ripped off
your watch. For being ripped off
gambling. They're ripped off.
Unbelievable. What a Jip. Jip,
John C Dvorak: what a jet.
Adam Curry: All right. Anyway,
that's, that's my presentation.
That's
John C Dvorak: your rant here as
my president that's my presence
or shadows. Well,
Adam Curry: I'm, I'm, I'm fed
up. I'm sad. I'm sad. That, that
people are falling into the same
trap of arguing on social media,
spurred on often by the King, I
should say the queen of social
media, Elon Musk, which everyone
thinks oh, he's, he's without
him. We wouldn't have free
speech. You wait, what's coming
with x? You? Wait, you wait, oh,
you'll have your free speech
when he has your payment
details. So we can find? Yeah,
you just wait. It's all coming
down. Here. But none meantime,
let's, I'm going to send this
podcast or a piece of my mind.
John C Dvorak: I think you'd get
more, you've got probably got
more. I got some targeted notes.
But you probably get, but it's
you probably got to bribe me.
Adam Curry: But when I when when
people say why did you purposely
lie? What are you talking about?
It's what benefit
John C Dvorak: to what I'm
convinced you what was what was
the lie? I didn't get that? Oh,
the lie
Adam Curry: is that I said based
upon I think good evidence that
good historical comparisons,
which partially came from that
Hudson professor, is that the
United States is running the
energy all around the world.
We've been doing it for a long
time, the project for New
American Century, which required
the world trade we required to
get us into war, which when you
know, instead of going to
Afghanistan, we went to Iraq.
What Okay, aluminum tubes. Then
we killed a million Iraqis. We
stole all the oil, which yellow
cake was yellow. Okay, we're
still in Syria, but somehow the
Jews are running us. Stop it.
It's ridiculous on its face with
that people are stuck in that.
And then when you say, hey, you
know, it ain't all that bad.
Then it's then you get the pro
Palestinian people. So we are
right over the target because
it's coming in from both sides.
This is like
John C Dvorak: COVID, Flack,
Slack, but it's like being in a
b 29. It's like COVID in
Adam Curry: the beginning. And
remember, Ukraine and Russia.
You guys are on the wrong side
of history.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we lost the
last but then
Adam Curry: Tucker does an
interview with Putin. Oh, well,
you know, hey, it's pretty good
now. Yeah, yeah,
John C Dvorak: he went to a
grocery store even but people
Adam Curry: people, we can't say
them. That's unsavable I'm glad
I'm old. Glad I can retire.
Bill. I don't think I'm gonna
make four more years. You got to
do something else podcast
pastor. There you go. I'll do
something else. Podcast,
John C Dvorak: Pastor, podcast
past guests, and if I have three
clips about the protests, I want
to get them out of the way.
Okay, good to go. These are
student protests. I saw a
student protests rapping in PR.
Adam Curry: Okay we go. student
protests
Unknown: in solidarity with Gaza
have spread to campuses across
the US demanding that
universities disclose financial
ties to Israel and divest.
amperes Jasmine Garst has more.
The
protests have moved into schools
not historically associated with
activism like the University of
Southern California. Several
schools have come under fire for
allowing police to come onto
campus. Over 100 protesters were
arrested at Columbia University
last week. The University of
Texas in Austin and the
University of Southern
California also saw student
activists arrested at Emory in
Georgia. The student newspaper
reported that the Atlanta police
deployed a tear gas into the
crowd of protests. With
graduation nearing many
universities are changing plans.
The University of Southern
California has canceled its main
ceremony. Columbia says it's
negotiating with student
protesters to have the campus
cleared by me 15 for graduation,
Adam Curry: graduation.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. All right.
So there's that's the catch up
and then we have I have this WTF
clip, which is a clip I always
put aside. Short, the short,
this is a seven seconds of
something. Let's see what it is
to
Unknown: continue negotiating
with the students and getting
that encampment cleared in time
for graduation on May 14.
John C Dvorak: Okay. Oh, yes.
Glad we played What was weird
about that clip you think?
Adam Curry: Let me listen to it
again,
Unknown: to continue negotiating
with the students and getting
that encampment cleared in time
for graduation on May 14.
John C Dvorak: Graduation on May
14,
Adam Curry: is that I don't
know. I didn't go to college. So
you went to high school? In
Holland.
John C Dvorak: Whoa, wherever
you went may 14. I mean, it
seems to me you'd be graduating
in June. At least the mid to mid
June, May. Or May. This is long.
So we got what it may 14 test
school ends on May 14 and eight
what the teachers, professors,
whatever they are called what
you want. What they get five
months off. I mean, what is it
because they didn't know that I
would get back into October. But
what did what did they tighten
the year so why you Mazal
graduate them now because
they're not going to learn
anything more you
Adam Curry: act like like these
degrees are of any value that
they mean anyway.
John C Dvorak: You can make that
point you can make that point.
The third clip is the Jews in
protest at Columbia.
Unknown: There have been charges
of anti semitism at some of
these protests. What did you
find on campus?
So yesterday at a press
conference hosted by Columbia,
Barnard Hello, several pro
Israel students expressed fear
and anger. Here's no with Fay.
No one is above the law. Arrest
the students on Butler law and
discipline those that continue
to call for the death of my
friends and family will get me
the Jew facing this. I am not
afraid anymore. So why should
the administration be?
She pointed out that one of the
leaders of the Columbia
encampment in a social media
video called for the death of
Zionists has since apologized
and been barred from campus. Now
a few days ago, I also had a
chance to sit down with Sarah
Boris. She's one of the students
who were arrested last week at
Columbia. She's been suspended
she can't go back on campus. She
herself is Jewish. And she says
the only thing making her feel
unsafe right now is the
heightened police presence
in my capacity as a Jewish
students. I feel safe, but not
with all of the militarization
of our campus. I don't think
anyone feels safe on our campus
because of the way that minutia.
feek and the administration have
escalated the situation
in which she told me as she
feels protesting Israel's mass
killings makes her a better
deal.
John C Dvorak: I just did, which
I'm sure now that's fine. That's
fine. Yes. Very funny.
Adam Curry: All right. Let me
ask you some questions. So the
comparisons are made between the
protests and Kent State, and
then the the shot some students,
but this and of course, I wasn't
really consciously aware of
those things, because it was a
little before my time. But
weren't the protests at the time
because the comparisons are
being made? Yeah. Oh, look, oh,
look at these. Look at these
military age men coming in with
the police. Wasn't that about
the draft and Vietnam? It was
about Vietnam period. We should
give these kids something to
really protest about A well
drafted, I find this
John C Dvorak: to be rather, you
know, for example, and we talked
about on this show even though
people don't appreciate it the
number of dead Ukrainians is up
through the roof. It's like
that's the genocide is almost a
complete elimination of the
Ukrainian from Ukraine's from
the gene pool their Africa we
which we rarely talk about
because that really kills us.
There's hundreds of 1000s of
dead because of all these little
skirmishes that are going on
around here and they're all
throughout Africa. We did we, we
were militarized, Chad and we
just left it. We don't we
haven't talked about that at all
on the show because nobody
cares. And so if you're going to
be that concerned about, you
know, these sorts of
conflagrations as a student, why
aren't you concerned about these
other ones you don't know about
anybody but you don't know
Indians? They don't know been to
Palestine is any of these
students if you've been to
Israel, let alone Palestine? I
don't think
Adam Curry: either they can they
point to it on a map? Probably
not. No, this is Black Lives
Matter activation to what it is.
It gives everybody a chance to
go out and do speeches, write
books, where you can be
appearances and you meet meet
chicks. That's right. Meanwhile,
there's
John C Dvorak: a get facial
tattoos. It's kind of a
drawback. There's
Adam Curry: some interesting
similarities between the EU and
what's happening here in the
United States. This seems to be
a trend that is growing. It's
Unknown: a measure that's
gaining traction, nighttime
curfews for minors as a means to
allegedly curb youth violence.
The first of this most recent
spate of curfews began when
interior ministers l Domina.
Announced on a visit to the
French territory of Guadalupe
that appointed beat curfew for
those under 18 would begin April
22. It was the devil so it gets
measured, the government says is
an attempt to curb rising
violence for police officers.
The week began with ID checks
and phone calls home to parents.
Okay,
Adam Curry: so we have a curfew,
because I guess it's dangerous
that kids are on the street,
kids kids and but this is now
happening in New Jersey in
Newark specifically,
Unknown: they say they want to
focus on making children making
sure that children are safe. And
they want to make sure that the
families have the help they need
to do so. So this new summer
initiative, they are calling the
summer of hope. So unless
they're in they're involved in a
city, church or organization
involved activity, children 17
and under, cannot be out by
themselves within 100 yards from
their home. This expanded plan
now has social workers who will
make contact with those kids who
are caught violating the curfew,
they will first focus on trying
to get the child back to an
adult family member, or the city
has a reengagement center that
those kids would be taken to or
even the hospital until a
relative is found. And any
family that seems to be in
crisis, where some intervention
might lead to a happier, safer
home. That too, will now be
available kind
Adam Curry: of flows into your
observation that parents are
going to be blamed for
everything. Yeah. So what is
this coming? Since when do we
have curfew for people under 18?
What is this? This is this is
troubling.
John C Dvorak: I recall it from
this, I think when I was a
little kid why they used to have
curfews really all over the
country. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Okay. What were the
socio economic circumstances at
the time?
John C Dvorak: It was Sunday. I
think it fell back. I think it
stemmed from the leftover ideas
from the 30s or 40s. Now, but
what when they were fused during
the war? Yeah, there were
curfews, I remember distinctly,
as a little kid, I done that
there were curfews and people
would talk and it was like a 10
o'clock curfew for every
teenager. Really? Yeah. I think
that lasted until the I don't
know, the
Adam Curry: sweet it stopped
until until the roaring 20s
John C Dvorak: Biden joke. So
no, it's not unusual. I think
the history of curfews in this
country is maybe just forgotten
history.
Adam Curry: Anyway, but you
know, just looking at at France,
it doesn't really matter because
President Macron has made very
clear where they're headed
Unknown: Europe could die.
Adam Curry: Europe could die
Europe could die.
Unknown: That was one of
Emmanuel Macron safety warnings
on Thursday in a landmark speech
at the Sorbonne University in
Paris. The rallying cry involved
a range of topics including
Europe's cybersecurity relations
with post Brexit Britain,
Russia's continued invasion of
Ukraine and the Europe's
challenges faced with a major
competitors who play by
different rules.
Adam Curry: Europe could die
send your checks Europe could
die
John C Dvorak: what is the what
was the point of that? What is
he trying to what what is he
What is he trying to either
elicit he's trying to scare
people is trying to scare people
but but scare him anyway. Does
that scare him?
Unknown: Okay into I
John C Dvorak: mean, what does
it mean they get to me the day
or the farmlands not gonna go
away. So
Adam Curry: when they put all
the earth when people are taxed
for climate change and military
purchases, that they'll feel
good about it because you know,
we could die. You might die. I
mean, come on, as you mind that,
by the way, Craig Weinberg says
they've got a curfew curfew for
youth in their town. This is how
many curfews do we have in
America? This is interesting.
I'd love to know. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: think there's
more than you think clearly.
Adam Curry: I mean, if we need a
curfew, is it going to be for
the cicadas?
John C Dvorak: Oh, brother, have
you heard
Adam Curry: anywhere? It's
starting now. It's finally so I
John C Dvorak: can't be starting
yet. Oh, yes. This is the time
this is two of the biggest
broods is like they like to call
them I think it's number 13 and
eight or some I get no, no the
numbers we have a lot of them in
the United States is crawling
with Sir K with psychiatrists or
cicada psychiatrists? I made it
to Mata they. This these two
groups combined is going to be a
nightmare.
Adam Curry: Do you want to hear
this report from NBC?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'd love
the I would. Somebody suggested
that we use it as a foundational
story for donations. I don't
know how well see if Jeff Qaeda
lands on your on your end it
will if you're in the area, one
of them's gonna land it. They're
gonna land right on your
shoulder. And it's scary and I
would that means you should
donate $500 Well,
Adam Curry: I love in this
report how this this is of
biblical proportions.
Unknown: Biggest invasion in
hundreds of years. Not millions.
Not billions, but likely
trillions of these pesky
incredibly loud cicadas. And
right here in Georgia. The
invasion has begun. It is
shocking to see this many and
they're already coming out in
South Carolina where they're
taking over Sarah Weinberg's
backyard. When did you think he
was going to be this bad?
No, no,
I really wasn't prepared because
I've never seen this before.
This is my first invasion.
They moved in and they have
stayed. stayed mostly under her
gazebo cling on to every corner
and crevice. They think this is
a safe spot. It's already
getting so loud in Newberry
County. People are calling the
sheriff to complain.
We had a leak beer. We had
clips. Now we've got the cicadas
everywhere.
Why so many this year. Last
added cicadas comes out every 17
years, another every 13 years.
This year. There's an emergence
of both broods that hasn't
happened since 1803. They're
coming out from Alabama to
Missouri, and where they may
overlap the most Illinois.
They're talking epic numbers
biblical kind of numbers of them
in that area.
Something historic potentially,
in the Midwest definitely is
historic for sure. So
Augusta, Georgia Agriculture
agent Campbell Vaughn, cicadas
are harmless, but very loud. The
males are making the noise and
it's a little bitty buzz can
hear that.
So we have the sound level meter
here. So let's pause and just
see how loud they really are
about 6060 decibels right here.
But at their peak that could
skyrocket to 100 decibels. About
the same as a lawnmower.
Enjoy the noises bridges are
really a neat thing. So don't
get too freaked out by them.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I was in
Georgia 17 years ago.
Adam Curry: During the previous
brood, yeah,
John C Dvorak: be the previous
outbreak. And it is noisy. Yeah.
I don't remember everywhere you
go and you walk in you walk down
this you know if you're like I
remember being in Buckhead, and
if you're anywhere near a tree,
there's just they're all in the
tree and they're just making
nothing but this noise is and
they're doing it and combined.
It's just It's horrifying. Ly
loud. And I can see I don't know
if it gets to 100 decibels but
which is pretty loud. But it's
possible. Then they do land on
your shoulder. You walk around
and boned wetlands. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. And we I have
received several recipes for
cicada. Oh stralman What else
you're going to do with your
time? We got to fill airtime
people. Let's do a cicada
recipe. Yeah, Well, as you said,
we we had we had an eclipse to
leap year global, it's
John C Dvorak: pretty it's a
proof of climate change going to
sunny Hoskins on the view.
Adam Curry: Oh, do you have a
clip? No, it's
John C Dvorak: from that. Oh,
you talked about it? Yeah,
right. You're right. You're
right. Okay, get some. I have an
interesting, two clips from. I
think it's from NTD. Because
they have these discussions once
in a while. And this is
something I think we should both
listen to. And I think the
audience in general, and the
producers in general would find
it insightful. It's about the
government deciding that a non
compete is a illegal
Adam Curry: All right. Yes. And
this is, is this aimed mainly at
the technology industry. I
John C Dvorak: don't know who
it's aimed at. But it that's who
it affects the most. And so they
discussed it a little bit in
that this word listening to
Unknown: Federal Trade
Commission is getting sued by
the Chamber of Commerce and
several business groups over
banning non compete agreements.
Those prevent a person from
working in the same industry or
starting a competing business
for some time after leaving a
job. The FTC calls these
agreements, unfair, but some say
the contracts, protect trade
secrets and encourage
competition and entities. David
Lam spoke with Vance, again,
president of good economic
consulting. He's also a former
chief economist for the White
House Office of Management and
Budget. Vance,
great to see you again. And
thank you for joining us. Now
tell us what the FTC banning non
compete agreements? What's the
impact on the job market?
Well, it's a pleasure to be with
you. And I think that this will
have a big impact on the job
market. There's a lot of
businesses out there where they
negotiate these agreements, this
worker agreements with the
worker, to not share information
or not have the same customers
or clients after they leave.
That's kind of this non compete
agreements that they sign in.
There are many of these across
many sectors of the economy,
including a lot of those that
are new innovations, technology
firms, manufacturing firms,
those types, and it's really
across many sectors of the
economy. And so this will have a
big influence on the workforce
and the future of work. And I
really think I think at the end
of the day, that this should be
overturned.
Adam Curry: Now what, so you
didn't mention technology, but
if you have a non compete, and
the company wants to hold you to
a non compete, is it not typical
in a non compete agreement that
you then are paid? Even though
you've left the company or
you've been fired, or what's
generally
John C Dvorak: speaking, as far
as I know, you when you leave
certain tech companies, you sign
it you sign off on for money?
Yeah, a non disparagement
clause?
Adam Curry: Well, non
disparagement is different than
not non. I'm just saying,
John C Dvorak: you sign off on
that. And, and in in certain
high tech companies, where
there's actually technology
involved where you'd learn
something. Or if you're in
sales, you have developed a
Rolodex, you sign off on a non
compete that means you can't use
your own Rolodex for X number of
years Wink, wink, nudge nudge,
yeah, that's not going to work.
But but it will work if you for
example, and this happens in the
in the chip industry, because I
was involved in a couple of
lawsuits as an expert witness,
where you, and you get to see
the kind of the ins how the
sausage is made when you're an
expert witness. They, Intel and
AMD, for example, were suing
each other constantly over one
thing or another. And what they
would do is they would find a
circuit design of some sort that
was used in a competing chip.
And then they would track down
an employee who happened to be
working in engineering that
would know that design, and then
they would sue. Because it's
obviously the guy took the
design from one company and took
it to the other company. Right.
And so they have this so the
design of today's chips has been
done ever since the late 80s.
I'm pretty sure even before
then, the so called clean room
designs were to prevent this
sort of lawsuit, the companies
would make sure nobody working
on the design of this new chip
worked for anybody else.
excepted, you know, pretty much
fresh out of school or they came
from Russia, or who knows where
that's where a lot of the design
work for Intel, for example, is
done in Haifa, Israel. In fact,
we have a lot of chip designers
that are scattered around the
world. A lot of the chip designs
for microprocessors is done by
Indians. It because the Indians
for some unknown reason have
this natural ability to they
have a knack for designing
processors. So this was it
becomes very complicated because
these things are so valuable and
because when you design some
something new a new circuit, and
you can sell it for half the
price of somebody else's thing,
you can just get rid rich
overnight. Why
Adam Curry: do you think this is
in play now? And what why is the
Federal Trade Commission all of
a sudden, jumping into this,
this must there must be
something brewing and someone's
paid off? Some people agree. And
it seems fishy about to me like
this would be an AI chip design
deal that somewhat maybe it's
John C Dvorak: China, China,
maybe involved here, Sam
Adam Curry: Altman, with his you
know, he may be got that $7
trillion, he needs to make it
work. Finally,
John C Dvorak: LET'S PLAY CLIP
tune, we'll figure it out. Now,
Unknown: events under these non
compete agreements, how long did
employees typically have to wait
after they quit their job before
moving to a new company in the
same industry? Well, it
depends on the agreement that
they signed, sometimes it could
be six months, sometimes it
could be a year. Other times
these non compete agreements can
be more than a year. And so that
can put some strain on
individuals, whenever they go
and try to find another job.
However, they usually get paid
more when they have a non
compete agreement, because as
they go into these negotiations,
you can either get a job that
doesn't have a non compete
agreement, or you take a job
that has one, you're going to
want a higher pay or more
benefits.
Now moving forward, if
businesses aren't allowed to
have these specialized
contracts, how would they ensure
that their trade secrets won't
be revealed to other companies
from their former employees?
Well, I think that's a great
question. And I think it's one
that a lot of these employers
are going to look at and say, Do
we really want to hire as many
workers if we're going to have
to be concerned about trade
secrets, other things being
released, or clients and things
of that nature being released,
because that will reduce their
profitability over time? What we
want really is a more
competitive labor market, not
one that it's gonna be based on
what's the next rule put in
place by the FTC, by the Biden
administration, or even by
states, we should be unleashing
people to allow for them to
negotiate whatever the
agreements are going to be. And
so I think this is going to hurt
not only employment, but wages
and fringe benefits for the
future. This should really be
something that's done with
voluntary transactions. Hmm.
Adam Curry: Well, I think
that'll be unveiled soon enough.
We'll find out why this there's
John C Dvorak: something up with
this and it out of the blue
happened a couple of weeks ago,
I guess, out of the blue,
generally speaking, a lot of
companies will do will take care
of these some of these, these
fears by by keeping secret,
their employee roster. I noticed
this, you see this on TV shows
occasionally the Greg Gutfeld
show, for example, never runs a
credit roll ever. So you don't
know the route writers are for
the writers. Yeah, I guess it's
to protect the writers they do.
Bill Maher runs a credit roll
with it, you find out there's 12
writers there and you can get
their names. And if you wanted
to poach him, you could, but
some of these shows, I don't
know why they do that. They I
don't know if they're paying
extra so they don't get credit.
I'm not sure. But the thing is,
it's a big deal that I think non
compete is I think it's a fair
idea in tech. Because these
ideas some of these trade
secrets are just little gimmicks
and if you don't want them out,
Adam Curry: Well how about this?
I need to review our agreement
because if I accept the offer to
go do my own show on the blaze,
I mean, can you stop me from
doing that with our non compete?
John C Dvorak: No, I actually
had to been agreed to 10 years
ago. Excellent. To go work for
the blaze and you end up like
Hello. Who's Rubin? Red? So
Adam Curry: red say making new
video over there.
Unknown: Yeah.
Adam Curry: blink blink. Yeah,
the blaze rocks. That's right.
John, I'd never I would never
forsake you. All for one. Oh,
here we go. One where we go all
Glenn bells. Good. Glenn Beck's
calling.
John C Dvorak: Again, again,
backs on the line. Usually it
would be better if Glenn Beck
actually listened to the show.
But no, that would be a start.
Adam Curry: It would be
surprising. It's like whatever
happened to was the big black
guy. What's his name?
John C Dvorak: The big black
guy. Yeah.
Adam Curry: It used to be on
Tucker all the time. He went to
the blaze and they just it's
like it's Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah, they
athlete. The guy used his report
on sports. Yeah, that guy. Oh,
IQ. This is how it goes. Yeah, I
don't even remember who he is.
We can't even remember his name
because he went over to the
blaze and disappeared. Troll
Adam Curry: rooms trying to help
Shaquille O'Neal. You don't
know. And that wasn't him. No,
no,
John C Dvorak: no. No So, whit
Whitmore Whitman, Whitlock
Whitlock? Jason Whitlock. There
Adam Curry: we go Jason
Whitlock.
John C Dvorak: Yeah Jason Witten
like great material. Always good
for a clip and now it's like
what where he is with
Adam Curry: all the with all the
protection of the Jews I'm doing
how come Ben Shapiro hasn't
called for me to fill in for
Candace Owens? Yeah, you could
fit right in there right in over
there.
John C Dvorak: I don't think it
talked fast enough. It could
speed up I could do old school
you talk normal speed, I
Adam Curry: could speed it up.
No problem. I can I can do it.
Well, good news, after the mRNA
jab has reportedly been possibly
responsible for turbo cancers.
Right when we expect it, it's
back on the list everybody,
we're going to use the mRNA
technology to
Unknown: skin cancer patients in
the UK have begun taking part in
a trial aimed at developing the
first personalized vaccine for
melanoma. experimental treatment
uses the same technology as some
COVID-19 jabs results from an
earlier stage of the trial
suggests that using it in
combination with another drug
reduces the risk of recurrence
or death by 49%. After three
years, health correspondingly,
Hutchinson has the report. I
Adam Curry: love the fact that
keeps saying in with another
cancer drug which they never
mentioned in the report. And I
have yet to find out what it is
Steve
Unknown: Young, one of the first
NHS patients to take part in the
trial for what hoped will be a
game changing treatment. It's
for melanoma, the deadliest of
all the skin cancers. And it
aims to help those at the
highest risk of a recurrence.
Steve was given the experimental
treatment at University College
Hospital in London, he had a
melanoma removed from his scalp
last summer, he told us the
trial is his best chance of
keeping cancer free. I feel like
case someone told me I've got
survivor syndrome because I
actually feel guilty. I feel
guilty that I'm completely fine.
And yet I'm getting all this
attention. And I'm you know, I
get to have a scan and an MRI
every three months when I know
that people are waiting such a
long time. And I genuinely feel
kind of awful about that. But I
just really hope that what's
happening with the trial and the
results they get are going to be
good news, and it's going to go
on to do amazing things.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is
exactly what we knew what
happened. When particularly with
certainly in the US with
President Biden's Cancer
Moonshot, here they come mRNA
it's the solution to all your
problems. Everything's going to
be fixed with mRNA.
Unknown: The personalized
treatment works by identifying
proteins unique to each person's
cancer and then uses the same
technology which created so
John C Dvorak: that they get up
the so this vaccine quote is
only used on people who have
melanoma.
Adam Curry: Please go away with
your logic. Okay, stop being
logical. Yes, it's a it's a
vaccine that you
John C Dvorak: both who who
already have answer yes, or I
had melanoma.
Adam Curry: But don't just don't
you understand that this is just
the trial in conjunction with
some other magical Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I understand that
except for the little tidbit in
there, which is that the vaccine
is based on your personal
protein profile from the
melanoma you had. So yeah, trial
or no trial. You got good with
this do anyone who's never had
melanoma?
Adam Curry: None. That's not the
point it Vax vaccine is now the
definition has been changed. We
saw this happen.
John C Dvorak: Well, I know that
I'm just it's just screwy seems
to me, personalized
Unknown: treatment works by
identifying proteins unique to
each person's cancer, and then
uses the same technology, which
created some COVID vaccines
called M RNA to prime the immune
system to attack the cells. It's
being used in combination with
another choice.
John C Dvorak: So this is going
to be like the spike protein. In
other words, you have some
proteins that are that are
related to your cancer so
Unknown: we're going to give you
more or create more
Adam Curry: of them. Yes, that's
that's in
John C Dvorak: your own system.
So you need to be covered with
melanoma. I'm not understanding
the again how this is supposed
to be work, it's been your
immune system suppose to kick it
up a notch Yeah,
Adam Curry: and then attack your
immune system, which is, in
essence, what cancer already is.
I'm not sure combination
Unknown: with another cancer
drug. And previous results
suggest together, it will most
have the risk of recurrence or
death after three years, is
a very specific treatment highly
personalized to each
individual's tumor. And it's a
really exciting way of hopefully
exciting turning the patient's
own immune system against their
cancer. And it looks like it
could be a really effective,
effective approach, this trial
will really prove that's the
case on safe
Adam Curry: and effective. Well,
there's a lot that it's really
interesting how medical science
took a huge corner turn with
COVID. And we knew that we knew
this was going to happen. And
we're not actually surprised
that this great mRNA technology,
which you know, you should get a
booster, because they last 60
days, that you know that this
was all going to happen. safe
and effective. And so as a part
of this, we talked about, I have
a couple of clips here I need to
play through these. Because, you
know, I'm gonna go back to what
Texas limb said like the common
for your cows, they're coming
for your beef, it's going to be
the summer of Chinese pork. And,
and we're going to be in you
just look at all the fake food
products that are being created
with tastes and texture
chemicals so that it'll taste
good. It doesn't matter what it
is you're eating, it'll taste
like beef, you'll think it's
beef, but you're eating you
know, cells that were grown in a
lab. And and so cells so what
what is happening here now is we
have an attack on the ranching
industry on the beef industry.
It says there's just some
starting it's slowly and they've
done a really good job. What are
you doing?
John C Dvorak: There's a spider
on the Aranda papers. That's
harsh. I had to kill it.
Adam Curry: Did you get it? Did
you get them by No,
John C Dvorak: no I did was
really one of those fast little
one saw,
Adam Curry: ya know, you got to
nail those right away. Because
they creep into your ear at
night and lay eggs. And so So we
already know that they've been
doing this testing in the milk,
because they can't get onto
ranches to go and you know, the
ranchers like no, you're not
going to test my cows, I know
exactly what you're gonna do.
You say my cows got bird flu,
you're gonna make me kill them
all. So they're testing the milk
with PCR, which we know is you
can detect anything you want to
HIV in your milk, just crank it
up to 40 cycles and look for
HIV. And you'll have HIV in
here. But everything
John C Dvorak: I want to mention
a complaint that Mimi had about
the show, or at least lessons.
Yeah, she's been listening for
the last couple of years. It's
weird. To make sure you don't
botch the meet up, so yes, I
don't know. But she said that we
should note that the bad milk
that PCR where these fragments
come from, they've been feeding
cows ground up chickens, and
many often may be part of a call
of, of bird flu chickens. So
they grind up the chickens and
feed the chicken shit and the
chickens to some of these large
herds that Texas live would know
about this. And bingo, you get a
little a couple of fragments of
bird flu in the milk DAG, Gosh,
what a surprise. Because they
because our, our industrial food
complex really doesn't care
about anything except you know,
getting as much profit as they
can.
Adam Curry: Correct. So, but I
think that this is a larger
scheme that's at foot here. And
they they parlay it all into
well, you know, you don't want
that to be you know,
transferring over to humans and
just all complete nonsense. But
they're ramping it up and I
think they're ramping it up to
get rid of cows. They'll start
with milk cows and then we'll
just listen to the reports
because it's ramped up a little
bit. We've seen this happen over
the past couple of weeks. Now we
know from last week's clips of
they're using PCR to test the
milk. Well, you can find
anything in milk The
Unknown: FDA says one out of
every five samples of milk and
recently tested contains traces
of the bird flu. Experts say
that suggests more cows may be
infected than originally
thought. Officials say
pasteurized milk remains safe to
drink. So far, bird flu has been
detected in 33 herds across
eight states. Now the concern is
that the virus could mutate and
potentially pose a larger risk
for people 33
Adam Curry: So there's there's
your magic number three, there's
John C Dvorak: always your code.
I got more than mutate.
Everything can mutate. So watch
Adam Curry: out well. Okay, now
we go to by the way, I
John C Dvorak: also want to
queue Is the vegans of having
something to do with this? Oh
Adam Curry: for sure we're just
gonna blame the vegans on
everything of course. So that
was ABC now we go to CBS.
Unknown: America's dairy cows
will be tested for bird flu more
closely to stop the virus from
spreading new rules were put in
place yesterday, after the FDA
reported finding fragments of
the bird flu virus rules to rise
grocery store milk regulators
though say there is little risk
to humans. Dr. Celine gounder is
a CBS News Medical contributor
and editor at large for public
health at kFS. Health News. Good
morning, Dr. gounder.
Adam Curry: I love to bring in a
doctor not a veterinarian, bring
in a doctor. First I want
Unknown: to just ask you about
that headline when I first read
this yesterday, of course, you
know, alarm bells go off when
you hear that it's founded on
grocery store shelves and
pasteurized milk. You
Adam Curry: know that you're
right. There's I have not found
evidence of this yet. But I'm
pretty sure the nut SAP industry
has a hand in this as well.
Almond milk? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: the nuts app. And
the fact that they get used that
word milk on their body is
criminal a and by the way, this
is also the never ending attack
on on delicious raw milk done by
providers who are super clean,
because you have to be, you
know, run a really tight
operation to sell raw milk in
the first place. But nobody
likes it. We'd rather have the
milk boiled. You know, because
these guys boil them out by
that. What
Unknown: do we what concerns
should we have? Should we have
concerns?
I think we should be very clear
that the tests that came back
positive are for the genetic
material of the virus. This
could just be virus fragments,
what's left over after
pasteurization? And so this by
itself is not a reason for
alarm. There are additional
tests being done to see is this
live infectious virus or is this
just the dead virus we would
expect to see.
So drinking it you would you get
sick drinking that milk,
presumably
simply the leftovers after
pessaries pasteurization
process, you should not get
sick. Now notice
Adam Curry: all the terms
they're using dead virus. It's
all very COVID de COVID. Related
this is this is a psychological
operation that is taking place.
And remember Texas Slim's words
summer of Chinese pork. Let's
see what's going on. We
Unknown: know that h five n one,
the bird flu virus is prep. It's
out there. It's in the animal
population. But when it comes to
human risk, there has been only
one confirmed case. One or a
farm worker in Texas who has a
confirmed case. So what can we
take? What can we gather from
that when it comes to human risk
of transmission?
Well, there are some tests
ongoing, so to see if there's
any live infectious virus in the
milk supply. So what we do there
is we try to grow up any virus
what we call culture. It's that
kind of tests we do. Those tests
are still ongoing. We anticipate
those will come back negative
pasteurization works for all the
viruses that we've tried to test
this on so far. There's no
reason to think it wouldn't. But
we want to confirm that that's
the case. The other thing we're
looking out for is do we see
pigs infected pigs have
traditionally been the mixing
vessel for human and bird flu.
And that's how you get these
Frankenstein, scary flus. We
have a bit of a blind spot on
right now. And so we need to be
digging more into that
Adam Curry: this is how you get
the Frankenstein. Scary flu is
the scary flu.
John C Dvorak: Like the
scientific terminology. Yes,
Adam Curry: Frankenstein. Scary
flu. All right. And now we go
into the final clip here of this
doctor. And she lays out the
real problem.
Unknown: Is the government doing
enough and the FDA and pharma?
What are we hearing about how
these cases are being reported?
Or how?
Yeah, sure, I think there could
be more transparency and
cooperation, whether it's
against USDA, or farmers,
allowing the USDA and public
health people on to farms to do
the testing. Some of the workers
are not trustful of the
government and so don't want to
come forward for testing. So
everybody needs to be working
better together. Right?
Adam Curry: So these are just
the dumb TV doctors. But for me,
it got a little more serious.
When Scott Gottlieb former FDA
was it commissioner is
John C Dvorak: a former
commissioner and he's now a
board member of Pfizer, right?
And he's and he's got to be one
of the best agents that money
can buy. He's
Adam Curry: sag AFTRA, and I
think he has I think it's United
Artists who is his agent, but
he's tied into not just Pfizer,
he's on the board there. What's
the what's the other the other
company that does? Is also
testing I forget the name, I
don't
John C Dvorak: know. Doesn't
matter. Although I did test the
fact that he gets so much
airtime. Well, he but
Adam Curry: here he really lays
it out. because this is CNBC, so
this is meant to be for
financial people. And he has
some additional details which I
thought were at least
interesting with a funny little
kicker from that. From that
host, what's his name? The guy
who's, who doesn't care? who's
been there so long he just two
or three of you. You'll know
what I'm talking about, Charlie.
I think whatever. The
Unknown: reason why FDA and CDC
did this testing of milk has got
that USDA APHIS. And state
regulators wouldn't allow them
on the farms to do more
widespread testing, because they
didn't really want to turn over
those cases. And so this is a
bad Illumina
Adam Curry: Illumina. Thank you
Illumina Yeah, they do the
assays and all that for the for
the testing, they were also part
of the whole COVID scam. Okay,
here we go, because
Unknown: they didn't really want
to turn over those cases. And so
this is a backdoor way to do on
farm testing. Instead of testing
the cows, you test the milk. And
what we're finding is this virus
is much more pervasive on dairy
farms right now. They're what we
originally perceived. And so
that's unfortunate. Is that a
scary thing that could jump?
fortunate because the more that
we allow this to spread and man,
mammals and more, we're tempting
fate that this could evolve in
ways that are threatened.
They're not letting people on
because they don't want to call
the herds.
This is a historical problem.
Answer
Adam Curry: is yes. That Yes.
And if they want to go to can
see cattle and I will stand
there. I'll go and block the
feds. We do not want these
people testing your cows, even
though he doesn't have dairy
cows. It'll come they're all no
beef cows. Oh, it's everywhere.
Oh, oh, it's the horrible bird
flu. Oh, we got to call the
cows. This is
Unknown: a historical problem.
So when I had outbreaks of E.
Coli in romaine lettuce, I was
my inspectors weren't allowed
on. So it was really
John C Dvorak: what he said when
I had outbreaks.
Adam Curry: Yeah. When he was
FDA commissioner. Yeah, but what
but okay, it's just the way he
said it. I
Unknown: know, this is a
historical problem. So when I
had outbreaks of E. Coli in
romaine lettuce, I was my
inspectors weren't allowed onto
the farms initially. So I sent
the inspectors to test the
adjacent farms of water running
off from the farms that I
thought the E coli was coming
from. There's always been a
tension between the human health
people who would want to swab
everything and animal health
people who are worried about
some of the economic
implications and don't want
federal inspectors on their
farms. And we've seen that play
out here as well. This is a very
clever move by CDC and FDA to
test the milk as a way to
identify which farms have
outbreaks. Hopefully, it forces
the hands of agricultural
officials to allow more broad
protesting. So
Adam Curry: for him that oh,
this is very clever of CDC to
use PCR to find whatever they
want. This is a hoax. This is a
complete hoax. They're coming
for your beat me and I believe
this to be the losses and out
here. Here's the here's the guy,
he makes a funny here.
John C Dvorak: Can I get any
immunity from the milk from the
Franklins? Ah, well, how do you
know?
Adam Curry: Can I get immunity
from drinking milk? You're
Unknown: not going to get
immunity from fragments of
John C Dvorak: protein? What if
I got a spike protein
Unknown: from an h one and one
because I would have been
transcribed into would have to
be transcribed the protein, the
protein itself would probably be
inactivated? I mean,
John C Dvorak: hold on a second.
There is some logic to what he
says that leaves in denial.
Gottlieb's
Adam Curry: I Homina Homina
Homina.
John C Dvorak: No, let me drink
more milk. I'll never get bird
flu.
Adam Curry: And then he says,
Well, you know, I mean, it's
just fragments. I mean, because
it's just PCR. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, actually,
an attenuated flu vaccine is is
fragments. Yeah.
Adam Curry: No, because this is
a lie. This is a big lie. For
nefarious reasons,
Unknown: agricultural officials
to allow more broad broad
testing, can I get any
John C Dvorak: immunity from the
milk from the fragments of age?
How do you know
Unknown: you're not gonna get
immunity from fragments of
John C Dvorak: like protein?
What if I got a fight protein
from an h1 in one because
Unknown: it would have been
transcribed into would have to
be transcribed the protein, the
protein itself would probably be
inactivated I mean, maybe
it was a vaccine is also
antiviral drugs for this
particular there's
Adam Curry: a vaccine Don't
worry, there's a vaccine, they
got a vaccine ready. You got a
John C Dvorak: vaccine. This is
all about the vaccine. It's not
about they want to building the
cattle or versus Texas. Slim's
fears or your fears about
getting rid of all animals and
because the vegans are trying to
take this is about selling a
vaccine that's going to be
coming down the pike. Spin
people up about oh, bird flu my
wife by the way, Mimi is one of
these people that is fearful of
bird flu show it has been for 20
years. And Adele Okay, well,
let's go get it. It's gonna be
mRNA Yeah,
Adam Curry: people are nosy for
the cows. It's for the cows.
Okay, well, they can.
John C Dvorak: That's not good.
No, of
Adam Curry: course not. We don't
want mRNA in the cattle. No, but
that if when he says there's a
vaccine, I'm thinking it's a
vaccine for the cattle. By the
way. We We're not done there.
This will get Mimi spun up,
Unknown: the USDA is imposing a
new rule on certain chicken
products to prevent poisoning.
Makers of frozen breaded and
soft rock chicken products will
have to reduce salmonella levels
starting next year
Adam Curry: gonna reduce
salmonella levels. How about
zero salmonella? Is there
salmonella in everything?
John C Dvorak: I thought I have
a when you're done with that
play my salmonella clip. Now we
can discuss okay
Unknown: makers of frozen
breaded and stuffed raw chicken
products we'll have to reduce
salmonella levels starting next
year, that's when the bacteria
will officially be declared an
adulterant in raw poultry in the
same way certain E. coli
bacteria are regarded as
contaminants that must be kept
out of raw ground beef. The new
rules will affect products like
frozen chicken cordon bleu as
well as chicken Kyiv
Adam Curry: she said chicken
Kyiv Don't you notice chicken
Kyiv hello and blue
Unknown: as well as chicken Kyiv
the that appears to be fully
cooked but isn't they've been
linked to more than 200
illnesses since 1998. All right,
John C Dvorak: so hold on his
second 200 illnesses not deaths.
Adam Curry: Well I don't know if
she Yeah
John C Dvorak: 100 says 9098
Yeah, so what is that? Eight a
year nine doing
Adam Curry: pretty good. I'm
gonna play your salmonella clip
now us
Unknown: poultry producers will
have to cut salmonella bacteria
and some chicken products same
Adam Curry: lady I don't think
it is wow it sounds odd sounds
to me like the same way
John C Dvorak: the million
million
Adam Curry: that was this is
this is tripping me out Hold on
a second. Let me play the
freaking
John C Dvorak: out Man figure it
out man.
Adam Curry: Let me play the last
bit of my clip and then I'll go
into yours
Unknown: that appears to be
fully cooked but isn't they've
been linked to more than 200
illnesses. Since 1998.
US poultry producers will have
to cut salmonella bacteria
different but same Millia in
some chicken products to very
low levels to prevent food
poisoning. A final Agriculture
Department regulation issue
today applies to frozen breaded
and stuffed raw chicken. It
takes effect next year.
salmonella poisoning causes
roughly 420 deaths and 1.3
million infections annually in
the US
Adam Curry: was a little
different report there. Yep.
That's interesting. So
John C Dvorak: what does this
all mean? It means as whoever's
got stock and Clorox you should
probably invest more. The this
is a What are you gonna do? How
do you get to salmonella? If you
dip to chicken? You get your
chicken going on the line.
There's hundreds of these
chickens 1000s of
Adam Curry: Bleach Bleach,
John C Dvorak: you drop it into
a vat of bleach. Yeah. And you
pull it out of the bleach you
rinse it off, it's going to
stink. It's also going to create
that I don't know if people some
people would notice this was
some vacuum pack some of you
would get it some places you you
cut the bag open and a stench of
sulphurs comes out. This is
largely due to the big treatment
that took place and affected the
the surface of the product.
Yeah, they're gonna dip the
chicken and bleach to what it
is. There's probably some
company that makes a special
dipping device.
Adam Curry: How about this? How
about we just get some you know
what? How about you get the book
too many eggs from too many
eggs.com Too
John C Dvorak: many A's dot com
it's got all
Adam Curry: one place to
advertise Mimi's book many
eggs.com with many handy tips on
how to not get salmonella from
John C Dvorak: you can get a
free PDF just go to mini
Adam Curry: freeze all free free
John C Dvorak: is free free free
Adam Curry: and while you're
there go to no agenda abc.com
not free but there's a cool
coloring book for the kid exit
strategy and play
John C Dvorak: although I will
say the coloring book is
dynamite
Adam Curry: yeah why I liked the
book that's the $33 book that's
much better because
John C Dvorak: you get when you
get your shed no yeah well was
shipped I got
Adam Curry: I got a notification
it was shipped I got a
notification. Yes. Is it a
hardcover? Is that hard?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. It's hard
cover this a children's books
Classic is hard. Shiny cover.
Adam Curry: Yes. And we suggest
that you that you that you read
this with your children when
they have awkward questions like
What is shut up slave mean? I
mean, these could be awkward
questions.
John C Dvorak: It doesn't really
explain it.
Adam Curry: No, that's why the
kid will have awkward questions.
John C Dvorak: Shut out slave.
Adam Curry: The kid will have
awkward questions. So this this
is for kids from all over all
ages. from three to 33. Exactly.
John C Dvorak: So we get that
out of the way. How about But
Adam Curry: I'm just saying. I
think they are coming for your
cattle and you'd like to see you
wait, you wait. You wait. They
are coming for your beef. You
John C Dvorak: well I think
they've been trying to come to
the beef for as long as they
we've been alive
Adam Curry: they have but this
is it. They've got a line going
on no pick. They got a lot of
power.
John C Dvorak: Good luck. Here's
my juice I carry over clips
Texas border.
Adam Curry: Oh, is that still
going on from that phony Greg
Abbott
Unknown: a grand jury now indict
a more than 100 illegal
immigrants for allegedly
storming the Texas border.
Meanwhile, a government watchdog
finds that the Biden
administration used border wall
funds for environmental planning
instead.
What
a Texas grand jury on Tuesday
indicted more than 140 illegal
immigrants on misdemeanor
writing charges. That's for an
alleged mass attempt to breach
the US Mexico border earlier
this month. This comes just a
day after a county judge threw
the case out saying there was no
probable cause for the arrests.
Speaking on MTV News Today,
retired ice and Homeland
Security Officer Victor Avila
says he doesn't understand why
the county judge dismissed the
case. Arguing officers always
present at least some probable
cause
never happened to me in my
career when I arrested someone
on probable cause and then
presented them before a judge
and the judge decided that there
wasn't any goes to the bigger
picture here that there's
politics involved. For some
reason, you're illegal in this
country, you seem to get
additional protections. Yeah,
exactly.
John C Dvorak: The American Way
This is, uh, hold on a second.
This is in Texas. Yeah. You have
a judge that's thrown out.
Despite the evidence, we all saw
it and charging the border this
this group of people, and now
there's no probable cause. Let
him go. What is going on in your
state? Because you're always
condemning California. What
about this guy? No,
Adam Curry: we're, our state is
run by a globalist shill who
gets a pass because he's in a
wheelchair. That's my, that's my
stance. That's what's happening.
He is on the wrong side of all
of this, and he's a showboater.
He goes down that border to
Eagle Pass. with it. It's a
little bit of fence and complete
open border two miles on either
side. And he pretends like he's
doing something great.
John C Dvorak: He's no hard to
just
Unknown: explain how he managed
to secure the indictments. He
told the El Paso Times that we
presented the case as a whole.
We presented videotape evidence
of what happened. The grand jury
believed there was in fact
probable cause. And in other
immigration related news, the
Government Accountability Office
issued a new report, it found
that the Biden administration
spent funds allocated to the
border wall, partly to conduct a
standard environmental planning
instead. This is despite
Congress approving the funds for
Homeland Security to build a
border barrier between 2018 and
2021. Republicans on the House
Budget Committee commented on
the new report, saying DHS
continues to play political
games that stall contractors and
prevent barriers from being
built, effectively finding a way
to dodge the law. Okay,
Adam Curry: so I, um, thank you
for bringing this up. Because
we'll also bring in Florida,
also so tough on immigration. We
need to remind everybody that
this is the this is the mission.
This is the mission that comes
from the true Overlords of the
world, which is the money
people. And we need to have
immigration coming in. We're not
making children enough here,
despite the ozempic babies,
which is a plus. For everyone
who's on those Empik your birth
control doesn't work. So, you
know, that we got we're gonna
have a little bit of a jump in
newborns. But we need to have
replacements for people who are
not working don't want to work
or just too old to work. And
that's the only way we win is to
keep and to keep wages low
because the financial system has
a real hard time with those 12
rate cuts we're supposed to get
this year. So we need to
suppress wages. Everyone who's
doing gig work, it's now done by
Venezuelans or others who are
quickly getting work permits.
This is we're being robbed it's
a gyp we're being robbed. Now
let's go to Florida because Oh,
yeah, oh, the door the border.
So important. Thank you to our
producer for catching this a
press release from March 12. So
just just a month ago boca
ratone this company, a Geo
Group, who are on the New York
Stock Exchange ticker Geo. The
Geo Group announced his five
year contract five five year
contract to provide air
operations support services for
US Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. What do you think
that's for? has to fly him in?
John C Dvorak: It's why make him
do all that work of actually
walking in?
Adam Curry: Yes. $25 million.
John C Dvorak: Once they get in,
you fly him around. And from
that point, now it's too much
work. Just fly him straight to
sue city.
Adam Curry: Right. And that's a
Florida company. So there's your
your great governor in Florida.
John C Dvorak: Is it a Geo
Group, that private prison
operation?
Adam Curry: Let me see what else
they do. Oh, that's a good
question. I don't know if that's
what they do. Geo Group. I'm not
sure. I'm not sure. I can tell
you Okay, environmental later.
Yeah. But it's it's all it's all
a joke.
John C Dvorak: Kiss. It is. It's
a joke. And people don't
appreciate that we develop these
theses and
Unknown: then come bring it
forward.
John C Dvorak: Nobody else is
doing this. No. Oh. And then
we're condemned. Now we're
condemned because you don't like
Jews. Oh, you like juice? Oh,
you don't like like juice? What
do we don't like or dislike
juice? And do we like people?
Alright,
Adam Curry: so here's another
thesis we had which I believe is
coming true. The Taylor Swift up
now we call the Satanist up
well, no, but we called it the
it was the AI. All of that we
were flooded with AI we were we
were given the message that you
know, we can make AI can do
anything. Look at Taylor Swift
is doing porn. It's all AI. And
what was the thesis we developed
that this will be used? Probably
when someone does something
wrong. They'll just say I was
AI.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, of course.
That's what you do. That's what
I would do. Let's go to
Baltimore
Adam Curry: being audio clips
circulating in Pikesville has
many parents concerns.
Unknown: So the recording
contains racist and anti semitic
comments allegedly made by the
principal of Pikesville High
School but there are a lot of
concerns about the validity of
the audio. And if it could be
faked, that'd be a matter of two
news is Carol Burnett joins us
live from Pikeville this
morning. So Kara, a lot of
unanswered questions with the
story. What do we know so far?
Yeah, absolutely. A lot of
unanswered questions for sure.
Now, we do know that a lot of
parents are outraged. But the
questions remain. Is it real?
Well, we have yet to
authenticate the clip. So we
will not be airing the audio but
speculation may be aI generated
to sound exactly like principal
Eric eyes words. Now we also
spoke with a UMBC cybersecurity
professor who says AI generated
clips are on the rise
you have to do is take a deep
breath
and stop and think and do some
due diligence. Let the experts
look at this recording and see
is this a real recording? Was
this generated by someone? Some
type of technology technical
tool? Okay,
Adam Curry: so they won't play
the audio because it hasn't been
authenticated. But we are the no
agenda podcast. So I'm going to
play the audio of this
Pikesville High School principal
in Baltimore. And I want the
troll room to pay attention. I
want to take a little tally.
What do we think? Is this real?
Or is this AI generated? Here we
go. You know,
Unknown: I seriously don't
understand why I have to
constantly put up with these
dumbasses here every day.
Between these ungrateful black
kids who can't test their way
out of a paper bag, or these
teachers who don't get it, how
hard is it to get the students
to meet their grade level
expectations? Lawrence and
Rabanal should have never been
hired. Don't let me get started
on TJ I'm going to drag his
black ass out here one way or
another. I'm gonna get something
to stick.
I'm just so sick of the
inadequacies of these people.
And if I have to get one more
complaint from one more Jew in
this community,
Adam Curry: I'm gonna die.
Alright, so he's very
polarizing. He calls out blacks
and he calls out the Jews for
complaining. What do you think
John real or AI?
John C Dvorak: Ah, well, I
didn't notice the I was just I
never heard the guy's voice is
his real voice. It just if I was
presented that out of the blue,
I would say it was really just
some guided back room grousing.
In this I was shown otherwise by
some sort of a sonogram not what
not to say sonogram but that's
sonar but a voice gram is one of
those. Somebody could show me
that powers AI. So I'd vote yes,
it was real.
Adam Curry: I think it's real as
well. Now there were these
annoying drops with that was an
edit of this, I guess
John C Dvorak: we can assume
that the that it was cut down to
the pauses were taken out, we
can assume that because we do
that and I'm
Adam Curry: informed that
Pikesville is on the Jewish side
of town, predominantly Jewish
side of town. So that kind of
adds so
John C Dvorak: you can see he's
complaining about your Yeah,
Adam Curry: I'm saying the Jews
are complaining, complaining,
John C Dvorak: but guess what?
Oh, don't
Adam Curry: go there. Don't say
it. Don't say it. Yeah, I think
it's real. And I think this is
our first in the wild use of AI
to cover up a boo boo but yeah,
I guess I guess to cover up a
boo boo. And say, No, man. Yeah.
Oh, it's
John C Dvorak: a hot mic.
Adam Curry: It sounds like you
know, someone under their coat
recording it on their smartphone
or something. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I would buy it.
Unless I was shown otherwise by
an expert. And there are experts
out there. And those guys by the
way, if you have kids, you want
to go through life and you don't
want to have to really work your
ass off. Get into discovering,
you know, the technology of
finding problems with AI. I
mean, just as a countermeasure,
that is a lifetime the debt at
least from this point the way I
see it was a lifetime job.
Finding fake photos finding AI
art findings actually found a
article I have an AI clip.
Adam Curry: Well, I'm gonna lead
you into that it was an article
from a science, the like this. l
pace. Excessive use of words
like commendable and meticulous
suggests chat GPT has been used
in 1000s of scientific studies.
Well, I can believe this, a
London librarian has analyzed
millions of articles in search
of uncommon terms used by
artificial intelligence
programs. And so the librarian
Andrew gray made a very
surprising discovery analyze 5
million scientific studies
published last year and detected
a sudden rise in the use of
certain words such as nice
meticulously up 130 7% intricate
commendable and meticulous. I
think he's onto something here.
John C Dvorak: I agree. He's
totally onto something. Isn't
that interesting? Yeah, I think
this is the kind of then this is
the future.
Adam Curry: Kids get into it.
There you go. That now there's a
librarian we can we can respect
doing some work by which
libraries
John C Dvorak: actually are very
respectful. Yeah,
Adam Curry: but you should you
should talk to the women here
about the librarian and
Fredericksburg school.
John C Dvorak: What she said
except for
Adam Curry: her, just adjust her
or him I even over to her I
don't even know Okay,
John C Dvorak: here we go. This
is what Jennifer did. This is
the AI scandal from a couple of
weeks ago.
Adam Curry: What Jennifer did
here we go
Unknown: to new Netflix True
Crime documentary what Jennifer
did tell us the story of a young
Canadian woman involved in a
2010 murder for hire scheme
targeting her parents. It was a
situation that I could never
have imagined. There's been some
criticism not because the movie
is overly grisly or anything but
because people suspect the
filmmakers use generative AI in
the dark. That's just one of a
handful of stories about AI in
movie making that popped up this
week here with us to break them
all down is Mrs. Chloe Veltman.
Hey, Chloe. Hi. Demetri what
Jennifer did allegedly use AI
and why are people so mad about
it? Well,
social media has gone bonkers
about what AI generated or
manipulated photographs of the
young woman at the center of the
film Jennifer pan. She is
currently serving a life
sentence for a kill for hire
attack that killed her mother
and severely injured her father.
So the images appeared around
the half hour mark in the movie
when a high school friend named
Ian describes pan's personality,
Jennifer,
you know, was bubbly, happy,
confident, and very genuine. His
words were accompanied by series
of images showing a young and a
Boolean pattern. But if you look
closely, there are these weird
glitches for instance, fingers
they're all mangled. And human
hands can be a sign that an
image has been manipulated
because they're really tricky to
generate and edit. So people
calling the alleged image
manipulation disgraceful on
social media. To quote one
Reddit user, it devalues and
betray The whole idea of true
crime not to mention mocking the
victims by distorting the facts.
What have we heard from Netflix
and the filmmakers? Well, NPR
reached out to Netflix for
comments and they didn't want to
talk about it. But the film's
executive producer Jeremy
Grimaldi denied the use of AI in
an interview he gave her the
Toronto Star published on
Friday.
John C Dvorak: Okay, they
claimed it was Photoshop, and it
was just writing, you know, beef
up in him. No, you can tell.
Any, you can tell, I can tell
almost I'd say 99% of the people
that produce this show can tell
an AI image. Not not all of
them, but you can tell the ones
that are typically screwed up
and you have somebody's hand
she's doing a piece sign. And
she's got like, you know, just a
mangled hand it looks like
something that went through a
meat grinder. It's just It was
obviously AI and it's nothing if
Photoshop Creek Photoshop
doesn't create mangling or
cross-eyed or big giant boobs,
like you know, typical on some
of these AI generated pictures.
Yeah, it was AI and so they just
didn't want to admit it because
it was in a slopped it together
the way I said it, because
anyone with a with a keen eye
would spot these images as such
Adam Curry: an outrage mama true
fake
John C Dvorak: outrage, but it's
it's getting into everything
this?
Adam Curry: No, it's everybody's
heads are twisted. You know, the
title. What Jennifer did made me
makes me think of, we're talking
about the last show about
Jennifer Aniston. People calling
her Jennifer Madison like every
every celebrity actress is now a
dude on online. And I was at
church this morning and someone
came up to me and said, Oh, you
need to tell John about
Victoria's Secret. It's called
Victoria's Secret for a reason
they're all dudes just so you
know.
Unknown: All dudes
Adam Curry: Hey, some very sad
news for the no agenda hams. We
still have a lot of them. We get
a lot of 70 threes. He's got a
lot of 70 threes. John and I are
hams. I'm keto five Alpha.
Charlie, Charlie. John, what's
your callsign
John C Dvorak: KJ six liquid
natural gas. And
Adam Curry: I am on the VAR AC
so you can find me there. I'm
beaconing every 15 minutes. I
will continue to do that. Here's
the sad news. MF j is ceasing
production. You further MFJ
enterprises.
John C Dvorak: No,
Adam Curry: this is the guy who
came up with must be 1000
designs for Antanas and Morse
code keys MF J I mean that they
and he would get college
students to put them together.
After 52 years. They're closing
shop. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's
because you know, which includes
high gain Cushcraft antennas
Meraj vetronics, high gain Amera
Tron. And these these are
marquee names. That's all gone
Unknown: when the apocalypse
comes where the guys who are
going to save the world, right?
Adam Curry: It is that's it's an
institution. It's like Bob Heil,
dying. You know, it's an
institution. So the closing that
up, everyone's into the new
stuff. What does that? Ah, it's
the mesh stuff called MeSH
tastic. If you heard of this,
John C Dvorak: it was Yeah, I
have. There's some couple of
things like that. There's a
screwy ideas floating around.
Well, there are a lot of people
using them illegal. I don't
know.
Adam Curry: Hey, you don't need
a ham license. Mesh tasks. You
know, a lot of people are really
into mesh tastic. And so it's
basically small little radios.
And then you can create a mesh
network amongst your buddies.
While you're all greasing up
your AR fifteens. You can send
text messages, I think I'm fine
with my, with my 20 meter rig,
hooked up to a wire seems to be
doing just fine. I reach all
over the country. With that 12
Watts, I'm fine with that.
John C Dvorak: So I ran into a
deal a deal. Time and it was
just a fluke. And I don't think
you can find this page if you
want it to. But I am going to
put it in the newsletter because
people are bailing out from the
newsletter because there's
nothing valuable in there. I
don't know this should be
output. I'm not going to tell
you the link or where it even
comes from. But I'm gonna put it
in the newsletter. So I ran and
I got one of these things. I
found what do you find? A reef
rubbished knuck, five from
Intel, which is twice as fast as
the baling said I have. And I
use a nut for to do the podcast
and it happens to be a nuk.
Five. It's the older ones that I
think they're eight years this
was
Adam Curry: what's the what's
the guts, what's the power?
What's the what's the frequency?
It's
John C Dvorak: got a, I think
it's an i Five of some sort. And
it was,
Adam Curry: well run what's my
Beelink? Because I have is the
John C Dvorak: guy I guarantee
as a seller and I
Adam Curry: run the I run the
entire production on a Beelink
here. Yeah, no.
John C Dvorak: So you have this
amazing product for 168 or $200.
You get that Beelink does
everything. This nut five is
twice as fast as refurbished,
but it's twice as fast. It's got
more features, and 68 bucks.
Adam Curry: does and does that
include windows
John C Dvorak: and it includes
windows. Wow. So you have a
fresh version of Windows 68
bucks is twice as fast as your
Beelink it's dynamite product.
And I stumbled on it by
accident. And I said well this
is ridiculous. I bought one got
it. It's a little truck. It'd be
I mean it fit this how much much
onboard RAM it's a little light
in the loafers it's got four
gigs, four gigs gigs of RAM and
124
Adam Curry: gigs of ram you need
at least eight to to run
anything you can
John C Dvorak: buy you can go
buy a little eight for nothing.
This is
Adam Curry: old. Yeah, but then
but then that's not stills.
Okay, all
John C Dvorak: right. Maybe it's
gonna cost you 80 bucks total
Adam Curry: Yeah, but no wonder
your spreadsheet freezes and so
no,
John C Dvorak: we're not using
it now. Oh, I my little neck is
loaded to the gills with
Adam Curry: Oh, tell me what's
your what just knock god I'm
John C Dvorak: just it's got 16
gigs plus 256 SSD. said Yeah,
which is fine for different
podcasting. But I'm just saying
68 bucks
Adam Curry: Wow, everybody.
Aren't you glad you're listening
to the best podcast in the
universe? And just
John C Dvorak: saying yeah,
people want to subscribe to the
newsletter then get the link
there. I'm not going to talk
about as any bleed
Adam Curry: the worst idea since
me reading the legislation.
John C Dvorak: People love this
information they want to know
about the gods just what we do.
We got and check things out. I
Adam Curry: got a lot of
feedback on the east Safety
Commissioner in in the UK. Oh,
the spook? Yeah. Here's one
anonymous Adam and John. I
prefer to say no, he got it. I
thought to send a note regarding
John's clips from show 1654 on
the Australian E Safety
Commissioner. The E Safety
Commission has been ticking
along quietly in the background
for a number of years. By the
way, this is coming to America.
There's gonna be a safety
because you know to protect the
juice, don't worry, it's all
coming. The Safety Commission
has been ticking long quiet in
the background for a number of
years. It is a component of a
government department whose
primary role has been dealing
with email and phone scams as
well as managing legitimate
telemarketing company practices
and advertising legislation.
It's quite the organization
there. Something not mentioned
in your discussion is that our E
Safety Commissioner is also a
former Twitter employee moving
straight from Twitter to
government in 2016. So we
thought that she was she came
from Microsoft, but apparently,
she was also at Twitter. In the
old Twitter. The primary focus
of the current discussion in the
country is whether certain clips
can be shared online. In this
case, specifically, footage of
the knife attack on an Assyrian
Orthodox priest in Sydney while
he was holding a service, which
I think happened with a knife
sheathed, and so there's no
blood drawn. The community
became very agitated after the
attack and small scale public
disturbances occurred, which the
police and government blamed on
the distribution of this clip on
x. Oh, uh huh. It's unclear
exactly how far the government's
power extends. In this case,
though, we're, though they're
attempting to push it by
ordering the content removed. In
a strange twist. They've even
directed people in other
countries to remove the clip
from their ex page, for
instance, Canada. This has led
to the conversation in the clips
you played regarding clarifying
legislation. Historically, the
government has had limited
success with multiple nationals
abiding by these directives. As
a result, most legislation
targets ISPs to do the heavy
lifting example of this,
including the banning of Zero
Hedge and HN in the, in the
aftermath of the Christchurch
shooting, which of course was in
New Zealand. Elon Musk has been
the public target as he has been
in vocal opposition, though this
sort of thing isn't a new story
here. Last note. John, you've
been mispronouncing the Prime
Minister Anthony Albanese his
name it's Albin. Easy. Albanese
Albanese. Yeah. Albin.
John C Dvorak: What have I been
saying? Album minis yes album
easy Albanese. Yes.
Adam Curry: Keep up the good
fight. Thank you for your
courage.
John C Dvorak: That's sorry.
Well, I should pronounce his
real name. Elmer Fudd. Just take
a look at his picture and tell
me I'm wrong. Elmer Fudd there's
Adam Curry: been a lot of
information coming out about our
new NPR CEO, Katherine Meyer,
John C Dvorak: another one. Yes.
She
Adam Curry: was apparently quite
involved in a number of color
revolutions around the time of
the Middle East and North
African color revolutions. Go
figure isn't that interesting?
March of 2011. Mar worked for
the National Democratic
Institute, a government funded
NGO with deep connections to US
intelligence this from the City
Journal. I think they're pretty
good actually, the City Journal
and the Democratic Party's
foreign policy machine. The
organization was set up to do
independently what CIA had done
covertly worldwide says,
national security analyst Jay
Michael Waller. So she is
definitely this agent of change.
She was part of a revolutionary
Vanguard movement at NDI. And my
buddy Dave Jones, over at
podcasting 2.0 He found an
interview that she did, which I
think is, this was done in
January, this was probably part
of her audition process, because
it's with Reed Hoffman on Reid
Hoffman's podcast, you know what
I mean? It's like, hey, ya gotta
go on, read his podcast. And if
you make it there, if you pass
the muster there, we can bring
you in. So you want to hear
these clips. But
John C Dvorak: absolutely, he or
she is
Unknown: I think the internet
has been catastrophic for trust.
But perhaps not for all of the
reasons we might think, when I
say catastrophic, I think that
what has happened is not that
the internet has destroyed
trust, it has, the internet has
surfaced fissures within systems
and, and allowed them to grow
and grow publicly at an
exponential rate. And so when,
for example, we think about
trust in institutions, which is
something that I'm very
interested in, and that comes to
sort of institutional
governance, institutions fit for
purpose. And I mean,
institutions in the abstract and
in the literal sense. So the
institution of universal
suffrage is an institution,
although doesn't have like a
brand name. The issues that
we've seen there is that many of
these institutions were built
around a sort of homogenous
population that they were
serving, they were not terribly
responsive, both in terms of
accountability to that
population. And then when we
started to see increasingly
heterogeneous populations, due
to immigration, diversification,
civil rights, movement, etc,
etc, we started to cetera, how
those, those institutions where
we're not actually sort of fit
for purpose. What the Internet
has done is it has exposed those
fissures in ways that are
related to both. We now
interface with all sorts of
technologies, platforms and
services that are hyper
responsive to our needs in and
have created an anticipation of
a much more frictionless, much
more productive set of
processes, services, outcomes,
SLA functional human SLAs, human
Adam Curry: SLAs John, this is a
this is some the newest gobbly
gook. SLA is some service level
agreement. So it's now human
service level agreements. She's
nuts.
John C Dvorak: I was I was I
would agree that she's nuts
100% 100%. And unbelievable.
Adam Curry: What she's really
saying is podcasts ruined our
business. That's what I hear
saying. So you know, I
John C Dvorak: can see you
hearing that. Maybe she's saying
it because she's tried and tried
and tried. I mean, the NPO or
not she, but NPR has tried to do
podcasting and it's just like,
basically NPR. You know,
repurposed here's crappy.
Adam Curry: Here's what
happened. You know, they went in
for all you know, let's do black
queer hosts doing a hip hop
show. What they, what they what
they miss over there is that the
network isn't like you can't
monetize the network is like,
your podcast app is now your
podcast network. You subscribe
to the shows you want to hear.
And you play them when you want
to Hear him. We don't need this.
This you know, the shield for
whatever intelligence or anybody
for that matter. You don't need
an NPR to try and create a
lineup that's going to be
perfect for you. Nobody cares
anymore. It's like just like
Disney. No. Dead. Exactly.
lineups are dead. Oh, that's a
good that's a good way of
putting it lineups are dead.
people subscribe to Netflix to
binge the new series and then
they quit their subscription.
John C Dvorak: In fact there was
a one of the I was reading in
one of the forum's somebody's
going on bitching and moaning
and saying you know what I do? I
was subscribed to Netflix and
then then binge watch
everything. I want to watch it
and I was canceling
subscription. Now subscribe
subscribed to Hulu, and then
I'll watch what you know is
there, and I'll binge watch and
then on subscribing, so you're
only paying $19 A month ever.
Adam Curry: That's right. That's
why the only way forward, the
only way forward is value for
value where you pay for the
program that you want to hear at
the value you ascribe to it. It
would be a much better argument.
If our donations were craps. It
would be a much better argument
that way. But But that's really
where it's going. There's
there's there's no other way
Pete the people have the power.
And you're exactly right. So
they they people have 20 bucks a
month for their media on the
streaming because it's really
not worth much more than that.
And they just hop around. Like
okay, I'll get Hulu 20 bucks
canceled next month is something
else next month is something
else. Yeah, and
John C Dvorak: you can catch up
with everything. If you have the
wherewithal, me Paramount
Adam Curry: is about to go out
of business. I
John C Dvorak: mean, they're
trying to get rid of it. Larry
Adam Curry: Ellison's kid is
going to buy up some scrap metal
which will be known formerly
known as paramount. I wouldn't
even think that what he's buying
is any good. Have you been
following that? The Paramount
saga,
John C Dvorak: I've been
following it in the trades a
bit. But I
Adam Curry: mean, that thing
basically just collapsed. After
summoner red red stones daughter
took over, I don't know what
John C Dvorak: she hates the I
think she hated the old man. And
if you ever I met him once, and
I can see how that can be. He
seems to be that kind of guy
that would instill hate. And,
and she wants to read
everything. She wants to destroy
everything that he built up.
He's very proud of his
accomplishment. accomplishments.
Adam Curry: You want to really
want to hear the second clip
from Katherine Mar. Was it too
much to handle?
John C Dvorak: I can do without
unless it unless there's
something in there. So Jim, I
Adam Curry: really don't
remember. I'm not going to risk
it. I'm not going to risk it.
John C Dvorak: It does bring me
to the since it was talking
about lack of trust. It brings
me to an I don't know why this
is. But it brings you to a three
by three. Oh, now it's done.
Three by three.
Adam Curry: Everybody's fast.
Fast on ABC, CBS. Thank you for
recognizing my my speed. That's
right. We got the top three
networks. That was pretty new
issues. Thank you. And here, we
compare all timing.
John C Dvorak: All right. So
timing. So the point is, is that
we talked about this? Probably
100 years ago, 100 years? Yeah,
100 years ago. And this was
actually the three by three for
the last show, which I didn't
run and then they kept hot. They
kept harping on it on the on
these networks. And this is the
like the revelation that the guy
who runs pecker or whatever is
National Enquirer,
Adam Curry: women, can I just
say it's very possible that the
three by three is driving people
away, I'm just saying as
possible.
John C Dvorak: I'd never like to
three by three.
Adam Curry: All right. So this
John C Dvorak: but the fact that
that they keep the network's
keep harping on this as though
the public really wants to know
this. In the end, the thinking
is, look, there's this guy who
bought off all these stories.
And then it by the way, I had
this happen to me. If anyone who
wants to talk about you know, a
boy, yeah, they bought you
Adam Curry: paid off a porn
star? No,
John C Dvorak: I wrote a story
once. Oh, and I think the
magazine was called focus and it
was KQED was a local
publication. They hired me to
write an article on the top 10
lists and the top 10 That and
the top 10 lists and the top 10
that in Silicon Valley. Some
years ago, I was okay. So I was
paying. They gave me the money.
They never published the story.
And I'll tell you why they
didn't publish the story. I had
all these different it wasn't
like it was elaborately written
or anything that you know, this
guy can't write it just, we're
gonna know that I got paid for
the story. And then they killed
it. Because I follow a
Yellowlees. Definitely the top
three restaurants I think was
mostly top stories, top three
restaurants Silicon Valley and
its top three carwashes, the top
three, top three, the
Adam Curry: top three, what was
the number one carwash in
Silicon Valley? I
John C Dvorak: don't remember
this was like 10 years ago or
longer. But here's the kicker,
that I had the top three
charities of Silicon Valley, one
blank to blank, three blank. And
that was the end of that story.
So this was not an unusual thing
to kill stories. Yeah. So
Adam Curry: So explain, briefly
catch and kill,
John C Dvorak: catch and kill or
whatever it's called. That is
start with the ABC today
Unknown: is Donald Trump
listened intently the former
publisher of the National
Enquirer for the first time
laying out the extraordinary
relationship between candidate
Trump and the sorted supermarket
tabloid David pecker, grinning
widely as he pointed out Trump
in the courtroom, the former
president smirking back, the two
men had been friends for years.
Becker told the jury he was
convinced women would come
forward with salacious stories
to sell because Trump was the
most eligible bachelor and dated
the most beautiful women Trump
perking up at that description
and then visibly perturbed
versing his lips and crossing
his arms as pecker started to
detail. One example the story of
former Playboy model Karen
McDougal, who claims to have had
a year long affair with Trump
which he denies. Finally, pecker
testified he and Trump got on
the phone. He said he told Trump
to buy the rights to McDougal
story. Trump's response I don't
buy stories. Anytime you do
anything like this, it always
gets out. Ultimately, peckers
company paid Karen McDougal
$150,000 for the rights to her
story but never published it all
to protect Trump. before today's
testimony, prosecutors accused
Trump of repeatedly violating
the judge's gag order, attacking
witnesses even potential jurors.
Defense attorneys insisted Trump
is complying but the judge
interjected you're losing
credibility. There was no
immediate ruling from the judge.
But David prosecutors said it's
almost as if Trump is trying to
force the judge to throw him in
jail. And tonight, sources told
ABC News the Secret Service is
actually preparing for that
possibility. It's
Adam Curry: really unbelievable
how our national press is
obsessed with with porn farts. I
mean, it's just it's amazing.
These people are sick.
John C Dvorak: I don't gonna
argue that there we go the NBC
tonight
Unknown: Mr. Trump's longtime
friend David packer, the former
publisher of the National
Enquirer offering the jury a
rare glimpse into the underworld
of tabloid tactics. The day
began with the judge taking the
defense team to task over Mr.
Trump's posts on social media,
targeting Cohen and stormy
Daniels, the state seeking to
hold Mr. Trump in criminal
contempt for violating the
judge's gag order that bars him
from attacking trial witnesses
so they can talk about me they
can say whatever they want, they
can lie. But I'm not allowed to
say.
In court the defense arguing Mr.
Trump should be permitted to
respond to political attacks,
and the gag order should not
cover repose of someone else.
The judge didn't rule today, but
seemed exasperated tellingly,
defense attorney Todd blanch,
you are losing all credibility
with the court. minutes later
during a break Mr. Trump back on
truth social, falsely writing
the judge had taken away his
right to free speech. This is a
kangaroo court.
John C Dvorak: Yo, maybe I'm
mostly writing. Maybe I was
falsely writing but he didn't
know he wrote it. He didn't
falsely write. Maybe
Adam Curry: I'm seeing this the
wrong way. Maybe this is really
just the part of trying to get
Middle America to vote for
Trump. They really want him in
like wow, this guy is just as
broken as we are over here.
Yeah, you know, he just has
bigger brokenness. I'm telling
you, they want him in so bad.
Everyone knows that all these
things will go to appeal.
They're not going to be thrown
in jail before the elections.
Everyone knows this. This is
this is this is just this is
just more get him in so we can
collapse everything on his
watch.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not
gonna argue it. I mean, it's
kind of the point we've been
making I think for some time.
Adam Curry: Yeah. So so that
they spend all this time on
these stories. Oh, boy.
John C Dvorak: Alright, so let's
go to the final solution.
Unknown: CBS former President
Trump aired his frustration with
being in court today. situation
after listening to former
National Enquirer Our publisher
David pecker, a man he's known
for over three decades and even
Adam Curry: the fact of the
guy's name is pecker. Everybody
knows the joke. Everybody's in
on it. Hey, Martha
Unknown: Becker explained the
strategy he testified they
agreed upon ahead of the 2016
election. The paper would bury
any negative news about Trump
while promoting fake stories
about his political opponents,
including senators Ted Cruz and
Marco Rubio. Packer testified
the plan was concocted at Trump
Tower in 2015. Trump and former
fixer Michael Cohen allegedly
asked him how we could help the
campaign. He told them I would
be your eyes and ears explaining
the practice of catch and kill
the Enquirer would buy the
rights to any damaging story
about Trump and never publish
it. Prosecutors say that plan
was the origin of Cohen's
$130,000 payment to former adult
film star stormy Daniels to keep
her quiet.
Adam Curry: Did you say film
store do you think he said film
store instead of star day that
Unknown: plan was the origin of
Cohen's $130,000 payment to
former adult film star stormy
Daniels to keep store about an
alleged sexual encounter with
Trump who denies it all. One
example of catch and kill
discussed in court today involve
the Trump building doorman, who
was selling what turned out to
be a fake story about Trump
fathering a son pecker told the
jury today he bought the story
because of the potential
embarrassment it would have to
the campaign and Mr. Trump in
the gag order here in the
prosecution argued that Trump
should be held in contempt for
all of his scathing commentary
about this case, Trump's lawyer
Todd Lance said his clients
being careful with his words to
that the judge said that's just
not credible.
Adam Curry: I have an answer
here to your question. One of
our producers sent this from the
BBC how they know about Trump's
facial expressions in the
courtroom.
John C Dvorak: Yes, I was, was a
critical regarding Rachel Maddow
somehow seeing his face when
she's got he's got his back to
her
Unknown: is you can't have your
descriptions of everybody's body
language and facial expressions
and things that you can see from
inside the courthouse are
absolutely gripping.
It's interesting, because I when
I'm in the courtroom, I see him
from the back and from the side.
And at one point, I was sitting
literally right behind him and
could really like detect his
body language, but I can't see
his face. When I'm in the
overflow room, I can see all the
expressions he's making, because
there's a camera pointed right
at him that they're feeding. And
so I've had both the views of
his reading his body and sort of
his mood at the defense table,
and also just being able to see
the expressions on his face.
Adam Curry: So they got a camera
on his face in the overflow
room. That's how they do it.
John C Dvorak: Well, how does
that jive with Rachael being so
happy to be in the courtroom
herself?
Adam Curry: Oh, maybe she's
lying. Could it be possible?
John C Dvorak: Rachel Maddow
would be lying. Our
Adam Curry: constitutional
lawyer Rob made 14 clips for me
of the of the discussion in the
Supreme Court about immunity.
I'm going to move those to
Thursday. Because it couldn't
away Can we play all of them?
But some of them we've already
handled. I just liked the fact
that we have a lawyer that does
stuff like that. But I could if
you want to hear play the two
clips about presidential
President pardoning himself.
John C Dvorak: Which was also
Yeah, I would be interested in
that I can tolerate to those
clips due to clips. Yes, we've
heard the Supreme Court toy
they're very slow talking.
Adam Curry: Here's a Lido
talking to Dre. Ben, I think is
the guy's name. And this is the
first one about presidents
presidential pardoning himself.
On the
Unknown: question of whether a
president has the authority to
pardon himself, which came up
earlier in the argument. What's
the answer to that question? I
don't believe the Department of
Justice has taken a position.
The only authority that I'm
aware of is a member of the
Office of Legal Counsel wrote on
a memorandum that there is no
self pardon authority. As far as
I know, that department has not
addressed it further. And of
course, this Court had not
addressed it either. Well, when
you address that question before
us, are you speaking in your
capacity solely as a member of
the special counsels team or or
are you speaking on behalf of
the Justice Department, which
has special institutional
responsibilities? I am speaking
on behalf of the Justice
Department, we're representing
the United States. Right. How
Don't you think we need to know
the answer to at least Yes, the
Justice Department's position on
that issue in order to decide
this case, because the President
has the authority to pardon
himself before leaving office
and the DC circuit is right that
there is no immunity from
prosecution, won't the the
predictable result be that
presidents on the last couple of
days of officers are going to
pardon themselves from anything
that they might have been
conceivably charged with
committing? I really doubt that
Justice Alito unit sort of
presupposes a regime that we
have never had, except for
President Nixon and as alleged
in the indictment here,
presidents who are conscious of
having engaged in wrongdoing and
seeking to shield themselves, I
think the political consequences
of a president who asserted a
right of self pardon, that has
never been recognized, that
seems to contradict a bedrock
principle of our law, that no
person shall be the judge in
their own case. Those are
adequate deterrence, I think, so
that this kind of dystopian
regime is not going to evolve.
Okay.
Adam Curry: Any comments before
I go to Gorsuch on the same
issue? None.
Unknown: What would happen if
presidents were under fear, fear
that their successors would
criminally prosecute them for
their acts in office, whether
it's whether they were engaged
in drone strike all the
hypotheticals? It seems to me
like one of the incentives that
might be created as for
presidents to try to pardon
themselves. Do you have any
thoughts about that?
That is I didn't think of that
until
Adam Curry: I forgot to mention,
this is sour, who has the voice
of I don't know what this is.
This has got to be a medical
issue. It's very, it's only 40
seconds is hard to listen to
this person that is,
Unknown: didn't think of that
until you're on acid. That is
certainly one instead of that
might be creative. What we think
is most important, we've never
answered whether President can
do that. Happily, it's never
been presented to us. And
if if the doctrine of immunity
remains in place, that's likely
to remain the case. For those
very issues as Fitzgerald, I
think very powerfully emphasize,
the real concern here is is
there going to be bold and
fearless action? Is the
President going to have to make
a controversial decision where
his political opponents are
going to come after him? The
minute he leaves office? Is that
going to unduly deter? Or is
that going to dampen the order
of that President to do what our
constitutional structure demands
of him or her, which is bold and
fearless action in the face of
controversy?
And perhaps if he feels he has
to he'll pardon himself? Every
every four years from now on?
Adam Curry: AI or not? Ai?
That's a crazy voice
John C Dvorak: well, that's
interesting stuff, man.
Adam Curry: Now, I mean, yes, I
think it's interesting, but you
know, to a point you know, it's
not about it's not about Gaza.
So who knows? We're not We're
not hair on fire.
John C Dvorak: But I guess blink
and just as a last go into the
Yeah, you
Adam Curry: have a went to
China. Yeah, here's
John C Dvorak: what PBS had to
say about
Adam Curry: it. Let me see where
it what did you title this?
Lincoln Blinken makes sense.
Meanwhile,
Unknown: another member of the
Biden Cabinet Secretary of State
Antony Blinken warned Chinese
President Xi Jinping today
against supporting Russia's war
in Ukraine. The two men met in
Beijing, Blinken said he told xi
that China must stop supplying
Russia with critical war
material or the US will act did
not elaborate but he did
acknowledge progress in other
areas. We are
committed to maintaining and
strengthening the lines of
communication between us so that
we avoid any miscommunications.
Any misperceptions? Any
miscalculations and we are
committed to responsibly
managing the relationship.
For his part, she said China and
the US must seek common ground
rather than engage in what he
called, quote, vicious
competition.
Adam Curry: I saw a video of GE
waiting for Blinken to come in
and he was talking to his aides
his aides and they Hot Mic hot
mic and I'm gonna give you the
exact translation let me see
where is it here? It was
something like is he here yet?
And then I was like NAS he has
to leave in 45 minutes and Jesus
good get him out of here i It's
all AI it's all AI it's all AI
except we're not AI and with
that I'd like to say in the
morning to you the man who put
the sea in call the cows say
hello to my friend on the other
end Mr. John see tomorrow
John C Dvorak: morning to you
Mr. Adam curry in the morning
all ships at sea boots on the
ground feet in the air and subs
in the water the dames the
Knights out there.
Adam Curry: Hello trolls
interesting we had the last
Sunday show we had 18 147 Trolls
we're up by eight trolls 1855
And by the way, these trolls
have nice purple hair I like
exceeding your trolls Very good.
You can become a troll, join
them at troll room.io which is
really fun to do if you have
time on Thursdays and Sundays,
because unlike most of those
podcasts that are edited, and
all the URLs and the arms are
taken out, and oh no, they left
a long pause of silence, gotta
edit that out. Gotta make it
exactly two hours. We, on the
other hand, are doing, we're
doing a performance for you.
Neither, neither one of us knows
what we're coming to the table
with. John sends me clips I
don't look at, I look at the
titles and say, Okay, I clearly
don't have to clip anything
about Blinken in China, because
John's got it. But otherwise, we
put it together with the help of
you, the producers who produce
this show time, talent and
treasure, we'd love it when
you're in a deep state in the in
the defense industrial base. And
you tell us that it's all about
China. We love it when people we
have our constitutional lawyer
making clips. So he sat there
and he listened to the most
boring stuff in the universe.
And it was able to make clips. I
mean, this is a beautiful,
beautiful thing. That's how you
can return value to the show
because quite honestly, we're
not like NPR, we don't have 25
people to work on radio lab.
Radio lab. We don't have true
crime where we do AI
falsifications now, it's just
two dudes, two microphones, a
Beelink and Inuk. That's what
you got. And and, and that's why
we're here. We love our artists
who always help with some
fantastic value. By making
artwork that we can use again,
something that you could not
afford, if if you wanted to
contract artists to make artwork
for every single episode, which
has been going on for 15 years,
this episodic art, so they do it
out of returning value to the
show. And for that very reason.
I want to thank Matt boy there I
think I got the pronunciation
right. This was by far the this
for episode 1654 titled e
safety. Which made sense of
course we talked about the E
Safety Commissioner. This was
the tic toc logo draped in the
American flag. It was it was
just
John C Dvorak: it was these
ribs. It was turned into the
Adam Curry: but it looks like
it's draped. It looks like it
was wrapped around the TIC tock
logo, don't you think so? Okay,
you can do that. Yeah, I think I
think it looks like it was
wrapped around the load. It's
John C Dvorak: just a dynamite
piece.
Adam Curry: It was a great
piece. Lots of people tried
other things like negative
second. What else we have here
lots of Phoebe art appreciate
the Phoebe art. You actually
we're we're kind of pushing for
a weird piece, which was Trump's
lawyer with a gas mask with a
green cloud of I guess fart gas
and Phoebe in the background.
John C Dvorak: thought no, I
liked that piece of scaremongers
piece. I gotta wait Phoebe in
the background that was the
funny part is the judge multiple
Adam Curry: Phoebe pieces of art
comics through blogger you used
his piece for the newsletter is
I did Yes. And he was very upset
that you didn't credit him with
that. So I'm doing
John C Dvorak: it where they
credited me these people. You
know, I think I never credited
it with art with the art
Adam Curry: I never I think that
art tank donations. I think
that's what did it.
John C Dvorak: Oh could be could
be I know like we got a lot of
complaints about Phoebe.
Adam Curry: Well, I got pluses
and minuses. Some
John C Dvorak: some PHQ B Phoebe
that killed the show.
Adam Curry: There you go. For
some people said oh, no, it
sounded great. She's awesome.
Plus two for Phoebe. And others
were like, your concentration
was off. You should listen to
yourself. A different person
from the from the anti semitism
and it's all different. Same
guy. No, no, it's all different
people. It's all different.
John C Dvorak: You get a little
more variety.
Adam Curry: Thank you mad boy,
there we we appreciate your
work. And of course, all the
work that all of the artists do
diligently and it's good to see
non AI art now doesn't mean that
we're going to choose it. It
doesn't always hit it on the
mark. But in this case, I mean,
this was great. Great. Matt
really, really nailed it. And
thank you to Dred Scott for
using many of these pieces of
art in the modern podcast apps
in the chapters. If you don't
have one, you're really missing
out on some fun stuff. Go to
podcast apps.com Get yourself a
modern podcast app, you're going
to need it because with the
coming clampdown, you're going
to see Apple and Spotify and
YouTube music, podcasts,
whatever that is. You're going
to see him deplatforming You're
gonna see your podcast taken
off. I guess it's foregone
conclusion. Yep. Because you
know, you can't say from the
river to the sea. That that is
one of those chants that will be
John C Dvorak: that way. Federal
chance. Yeah. federal legal
chance. Yeah. No, that's a good
name for the show illegal
chance.
Adam Curry: I like that. Right.
That illegal chance. Yeah, that
was pretty good. Which
John C Dvorak: is pathetic.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's illegal
speech, which as we noted, all
this started in 2011 with the
bullying laws and hate speech.
And that's kind of where we lost
our way. I would
John C Dvorak: take it back to
the late 70s and early 80s, when
the concept of political
politically correct speech came
into play. That began the self
censorship. process. Yeah, I'll
give you that. I'll give it and
then after that it slowly
evolved into well, let's see how
far we can push. This is how
stupid the American public is to
put up with us. And
Adam Curry: I mean, it's amazing
what's happened all over the
world so far, and we're like the
last holdout. And now we're just
John C Dvorak: blessed because
as we've played clips, lots of
clips that to this effect. Well,
you know, unlike the United
States, we haven't got a first
amendment to protect us. And so
these laws come into play, so we
really don't have any any way to
flip push back on them.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the only thing
you got left in the UK a
Speaker's Corner.
John C Dvorak: Okay, have you
ever been to that? Yeah,
Adam Curry: I report is nobody
there. I reported not last time
we were there. And you're right.
There was nobody there. Although
I have seen some videos recently
if people because that's the
only place you can still say
stuff. You can still say stuff
on Speaker's Corner. Is that the
corner of Hyde Park? I'm gonna
say it's
John C Dvorak: in Hyde Park.
It's over in Mayfair. Yeah,
yeah,
Adam Curry: there's so there's
still people on their soapbox.
But but don't don't call anybody
a crew lesbian online, because
the cops will come and arrest
you go look it up. It's crazy.
Anyway, that's our time and
talent portion. We appreciate
the work that all of you do
boots on the ground clips,
insights information, but
propagating the message hitting
people in the mouth all this is
very welcomed and very good. And
now we go to the treasure
portion doesn't happen often.
But once again, no executive
producers only a few Associate
Executive producers. The list is
short, as we've alluded to, and
we kick it off with James from
Australia, Western Australia.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: so we are top
donor who will be bumped up to
executive will become an
executive producer. That's a guy
in Australia.
Adam Curry: Yep. Well, you know
why? Because he values free
speech. He knows is leaving his
country.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah. He's
done. He's from
Adam Curry: gidgegannup is
gidgegannup. I've never heard of
gidgegannup. Good,
John C Dvorak: good, good.
gidgegannup giga, good. No.
Good. You can get it.
Adam Curry: Did you get it?
$217.38. He says James from
Western Australia, in Texas.
There you go enroute to my visit
my girlfriend's family in
Mexico. Aussie seem happy to
become W E. F. Surfs. So if you
could sort me a green card, that
would be swell. Oh, here's an
idea. When you're in Mexico,
walk across the border and get a
phone $10,000 and less
paperwork.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you're
gonna fly back to Australia when
you feel like in fact, Grant
American. Yeah. What's your
problem? Just $20,000
Adam Curry: He says sorry, my
333 donations and dollar reduce.
Wow. Okay, so he even donated
$300. Okay. Exactly. Anyway, so
yes, it's all I can afford. Now.
We appreciate it, brother. We
appreciate you coming in de
douche poor vervoer. He says
John C Dvorak: you've been D
deuced. Alright, Craig Bayless
in Birmingham, Alabama, comes to
a 212 12 and he says this is a
switcher, a switcher Wolf.
switcher Wolf. Okay, this is
donation for Phoebe for her Dame
hood. That told you some people
I loved her performance on the
last show, but maybe Adam should
consider doggy daycare on show
days. I send my dog to one and
she loves it. Yeah, he
Adam Curry: sent me a Phoebe
does not do well in the doggy
daycare. She has to be in their
own cage because she doesn't.
Dogs
John C Dvorak: like that. We are
very familiar with that since we
own it, Carol. Yeah.
Adam Curry: What do you do with
those dogs? You lock them up in
the ISO so am I right?
John C Dvorak: Well, John,
consider using this in place of
sad puppy. Thanks for the best
but the sad puppy did nothing by
the way.
Adam Curry: You had the best
part. I didn't even know you had
a sad puppy in there. I had a
sad puppy in the newsletter.
Yeah, well, the sad puppy is
overplayed, bro, just give it
up. No.
John C Dvorak: You're gonna be
stuck with it forever. Thanks
for the best podcast in the
universe. Key continue News.
I've been listening since John
was running the Boeing jets
promotion 767777 etc. and have
not donated until now. Thanks
Phoebe. Thanks so much again
jingles goat scream John Key he
and Asian dog FYI This is to
replace the offensive donation
with this amount for dogs ducks
and bones. Adam He is risen
Craig Bayless.
Adam Curry: Thank you Craig.
Well, let's do a little bonus
clip here before we do your
jingles. As we have yet another
update in the ongoing Boeing
versus Airbus saga
Unknown: in New York a Delta
Airlines plane was forced to
return to JFK airport today
after losing its emergency
slide. Delta says the crew on
the flight to Los Angeles
declared an emergency when they
heard a sound near the right
wing after the plane landed
safely they saw the slide was
gone it's were about sure
unclear
Adam Curry: well done Boeing
Yeah, I think the idea is to
have everyone stopped flying all
together. It's just stopped
flying stay home does Yeah. So I
don't know what the John he he.
I'm lucky.
John C Dvorak: I can do that. I
pulled
Adam Curry: the different John
clip for this for this occasion.
I thought you would like this
baby.
Karma we go to that was cool.
Right? You'd like that one is
great. And great voice. Katrina
Gerstner. Eugene, Oregon to 10
and 60 Russian aggression.
Sorry. Hey, John. Adam. This is
a long overdue overdue donation
since I've been listening to you
for almost two years and I just
gave you my first donation via
PayPal. Well, I think we need to
do D deuced. By the way, I want
to thank our see it's he is our
sir Montauk. He sent me a de
douche button. Did he send you
anything?
John C Dvorak: Yes, I have a D
do douche button. It said the
dinner table. Oh, really?
Because
Adam Curry: it's so it's one of
those green plastic you know,
like Yeah, hit it hit it in case
of emergency to stop the
assembly line and Yeah. Kind of
fun. You have it at the dinner,
denarius? I'd like it so just
whoever needs a de douching they
get to hit the button during
dinner. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I guess Yeah,
it's what it's for. And I got my
jokes out that Theodore seems to
like hitting the button.
Adam Curry: Better to use a
button button you said button.
And I got my belt shelfs as
well.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you would.
My belt is a belt the giant belt
the belt shells?
Adam Curry: Yeah. And it's two
of them. So one for my already
John C Dvorak: got one. He said
he sent me two. But I only got
one. Well, he sent me two and he
said one from me gamble. Yeah,
he said the same thing to me.
He's give one to a local UPS
guy.
Adam Curry: delivery person
about you got gypped There you
go. No,
John C Dvorak: not necessarily.
Maybe the delivery person took
the belt after reading the
Adam Curry: note. All right.
Back to the this note from
Katrina. I had to write to say
how pleasantly surprised I was
to hear Adams coverage of the
campus protests over the Israeli
Gaza war. No anti semitism was
seen. Yep. I appreciate your
support and not falling for the
hype. Okay, you go the lone
person.
John C Dvorak: One gal I wanted
Adam Curry: to add I was
listening to the gray zone and
Max Blumenthal's take was that
the masks were worn by
protesters to avoid cameras from
identifying them. Yeah, because
they all want to work at Goldman
Sachs later. I really enjoy your
analysis especially regarding
COVID and Ukraine. I also
appreciate your coverage of the
EU not many outlets cover the EU
love the show, even though I
don't always agree with you to
example environmental stuff at
times. Keep up the good work by
the way. Government Abbott
totally gets away with stuff
because he's in a wheelchair. I
should know. I have moderate CP.
What CP
John C Dvorak: CP cerebral.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: if you ever end and
I send a note back at Trina,
what kind of goodies do you get
when you have CP? Let us know.
No. She says yes. He said he
totally gets away with stuff
because you're in a wheelchair.
I should know I have moderate so
she gets away with stuff.
Tickets and stuff. I Oh, this is
interesting. No one you know,
because everyone's so
politically correct. Because
it's talking about it. No one's
talking about we're interested.
We love talking about all kinds
of stuff. If you ever have a
meetup in Central Oregon, please
let me know I think that there
are meetups in I don't know
about Central Oregon. But check
no agenda meet upstox Katrina
Thank you very much. I'm gonna
give you a gratuitous karma. I
love that note, you've got
karma.

realized that was my sign to
donate. I also booked my clients
not just family and friends for

Adam Curry: from Bensenville
Illinois,
John C Dvorak: there's also a
little worm that swims around it
where I won't go into
Adam Curry: place. Now I know
what happens with that little
worm Eli the coffee guy comes in
from Bensenville Illinois
402 $104.30. I'm sure we added
some Pay Pal fees. Farmers
Market season is upon us. I
would like to urge all producers
to visit your local farmers
market this summer. That's a
good idea. With the ongoing war
on our food supply that come in
for your cows. There's no better
way to meet local farmers and
artisans who supply real quality
food and your community small
batch. Plus, you will be
supporting small local
businesses that work hard to
feed your families and their
families and yours. Yes, I
agree. And when they start
closing down the stuff at the
store, you know you you can you
can go to these farms and say
hey, remember me from the
farmers market and they will
feed you and everyone else
they'll shoot? Can I get a jobs
karma for the farmers and
crafters out there? And I'm
going to add ranchers. And if
for those that can't get to a
farmers market but still want
fresh roasted coffee. Ah, here
we go. He ties it in. Visit
gigawatt coffee roasters.com and
use code ITM 20 for 20% off your
first order. Stay caffeinated
Eli the coffee guy jobs,
Unknown: jobs, jobs and jobs for
jobs.
John C Dvorak: I was drinking
money.
Adam Curry: I was drinking it
this morning. gigwalk him I ran
out of my black rifle. So I've
been drinking the gigawatt which
is it's good.
John C Dvorak: I like it. But
they have a variety of roasts. I
Adam Curry: like as dark as
possible. And then they have
flavors. You don't like the dark
roast to you. I
John C Dvorak: used to I used to
have a Pavoni made the VIS
Presto and I got that thing back
when I was in college and I made
use the forever and I was a dark
roast nut. And then I discovered
some light roasts. And with this
the machine I use the Australian
machine which I don't know I
mean it's it makes a great cup
of coffee. And it is like for
some reason it just takes a
light roast and says here try
this. And it's like beyond. It's
beyond compare. It's just so
much better than the you know
the harsh dark run so I don't
even like dark roast.
Adam Curry: Can I ask you a
culinary question? How do you
make your coffee? I'll say up
front. I am a French press guy.
John C Dvorak: Oh, no, I use a
machine I use the what's the
Breslin Bressler Bramble rebel
rebel, I use a rebel. I have a
rebel I got it for Christmas
about five years ago everyone
pitched in and bought me oh,
this rebel has got the grinder.
Oh, that's basically automated.
Adam Curry: That's an expensive
machine.
John C Dvorak: It's a very
expensive machine and it did
took like eight people to pay
for it. And ever since then I've
been using it and I and I that's
when I gravitated to light
roasts and I realize it with the
light roast which are harder,
you know, or they just produce a
different product especially but
that machine really makes a
light roast killer. A is that
that's the coffee I was in
Indonesia one year for some meet
up
Adam Curry: was the Obama family
reunion. No, no, I
John C Dvorak: used to be pre
Obama. And I was having coffee
in the hotel that was so good.
It was like Sumatra into some
but it was a light roast coffee.
That was you could not stop
drinking it. And then I realized
what the sorry, just take it oh
It's okay to light the Breville
and a light roast espresso may
with light roast is just that
coffee is what I've always had
been looking for and it is a
stunner. So now if I have
anything medium light I can
tolerate light is better, but
it's done with dark roast and I
don't I haven't used a French
press probably for three years.
Well I
Adam Curry: since we don't have
advertisements or creepy
corporate money I will vouch for
the Breville product line we
just got rid of after more than
10 years of constant everyday
use our Breville hot water
heater it finally started and
which was not only a water
heater, Tina also used it to
kill crickets. It's
John C Dvorak: a kettle is a
kettle Yeah, I didn't know that
you made one of those. Yes,
smart. Don't okay Bucha says
we're on the topic. So I've gone
I've gone through kettles for
I've had kettles probably since
the first time we went to
England and the seven
Adam Curry: T was invented. And
so
John C Dvorak: these kettles are
all made in China. They last
about two years two and a half
years before they crap out. So
I've probably gone to 10 kettles
they just crap out they don't
stop boiling or they just crash
I've got you know Costco has
them they've been having him for
a number of years now Costco and
you get it for like 1012 bucks
I'm sure that Breville is like
30 but yeah Breville would make
remote make a product that lasts
you
Adam Curry: know the Breville is
expensive. Oh no, it's remember
it's a smart kettle Well, I
basically the same thing I
bought 10 years ago it's just
not a little different design.
It's beyond the last
John C Dvorak: 10 years is five
times longer than a Chinese
Costco kettle will last so I'm
gonna go
Adam Curry: take a look and see
and see where it's manufactured.
I wonder if
John C Dvorak: it's probably
made in China but you have
quality control issue things you
know Yeah. Now it's we have one
last one last donations yes go.

immediate deconstruction. So you
can talk about it the pros the
cons, I mean and no one's ever

John C Dvorak: Let's go see you
later.
Adam Curry: See you later. Okay.
See you later. It is good. Good
news. Good news. Good news. Good
news. I got actually got an
email or I think it was a he was
a post. I don't know if it was
on Twitter or a mastodon. Tom
was like, good news sucks, and
then all sudden heard the most
recent good news clips like good
news is great. So you're, you're
garnering fans. So this, of
course, is the clip that we like
to play for you so that you
don't go out all depressed about
all the horrible things that are
taking place because sometimes
there's just good news. What do
we have today? This
John C Dvorak: is about the
saving of a Newfoundland dog
that giant Newfie that was in a
fire and it's a terrible story,
but they saved the dog and now
he's in good spirits. And just
as a dog story, let's go Fox
Unknown: five has the dramatic
photos of Peachtree City
firefighters rescuing a family's
dog from their burning home
press.
You were saying was touching Go
and wait until you hear how big
this dog is. Fox is Doug Evans.
Gavin's talked with the family
and first responders.
This is Napoleon the 10 year old
Newfoundland. He's had a hard
week. Firefighters found his
lifeless body on the bedroom
floor of his family's Peachtree
City condo Tuesday. They say
smoke was ceiling to floor from
the fire. The only way out for
Napoleon and his rescue team
with through this window. The
big fella weighs 140 pounds.
After squeezing through that
window again the firefighters
and the dog together. They set
to work on life saving measures.
I think at
least five people carry on the
backboard so it was like
carrying a human. Firefighters
then rushed him to an emergency
vet for further life saving
intervention. It worked.
Napoleon was released three days
later and in good health and was
at the destroyed condo for a
reunion with his rescuers and
family.
It's awesome to be able to get
like I said give back and
everything and say that we had a
positive outcome.
They are amazing. They this was
a devastating loss for us and
they kept it from being just a
complete tragedy. But
they say for now, Napoleon is
enough. And they are grateful.
Everything
that we lost is replaceable,
except for
Napoleon, right in Peachtree
City.
Adam Curry: Do they edit with
the pause button over there? I
thought you're gonna do the
Christie Nome dog story, but
now.
John C Dvorak: You heard about
she put the dog down. Yeah, she
Adam Curry: just did a puppy.
John C Dvorak: Was that a good
story?
Adam Curry: That's my point.
Unknown: A good news story from
JCD had the vibes for you and me
and we all feel better. Now he's
done his bit to the back to
reality that's turning to shit.
No, not
Adam Curry: here. No reality.
Here. We are ending our
broadcast day. And we thank you
all, particularly trolls who
stuck it out. We'd like having
you here. Of course, we really
do. It's beautiful to have here.

Horwitz unplugged coming up.
That's one before the big 700

John C Dvorak: If another
Silicon Valley where we all know

I am John C. Dvorak. That's
true.
Adam Curry: That was made long
before we figured out what she
really was. Remember I said no
agenda donations.com until
Thursday, everybody in adios
MoPhO who we who we are and such
we begin with a battle over
paternity leave. Leave I deserve
it. Hey, man, I should have this

this beautiful beautiful white
John C Dvorak: Labrador labs for
great dogs good beginner to tell
Adam Curry: you man this dog was
looking at me like choose me. I
think we're going to adopt this
dog. Rat dog crap Dog Sweater

dog. sweater was a trap dog
obviously. Well, crap dog trap
dog. sweater was this sweater

you'd like a free dog. She's now
stuck there. When I'm frustrated
with John I need something to
kick so maybe this white lab
will do? Just seems like the
right thing to do.
John C Dvorak: You can't do
that. By the way. You have an
adult dog and they're into the
calmest greatest really good dog
or they're nuts. No matter what.

call her she comes to whatever
was trapped dog crap dog knows
what it was if you don't believe
you don't listen to it. You have
no idea how much content is in
there. Okay,
John C Dvorak: before we went
any further is this particular
clip because it does bring out
an issue that I think is
floating around. Canada is the
subtext around just like being
in a different domain. It is
like being in a different
dimension. You just float around
and don't cause trouble.
Apparently, people are floating
around when you're in them, or
around them, whether you're in
for a little short term or long
term around so they're floating
around and they're stringing
because we have telephone poles
around. YC he was floating
around. That's what I thought
the story was about.
We started doing our show this
stuff was floating around.
Adam Curry: I can tell you right
now people doing Trump with
farts you're not going to be

not just farming jobs is
Unknown: huge red ribbon

Dianne Feinstein and they did
absolutely nothing.
Get paid. And he just freaked
out and then very loudly,

acts only may have led off a
sharp
Adam Curry: while the US

shorter than
nothing wrong. Absolutely.
Better than you know, could
