Adam Curry: assassination episode 1660 This is no agenda.
0:15
We are climate smarts and broadcasting live from the heart
0:19
of the Texas Hill Country here and FEMA reached number six in
0:22
the morning everybody I'm Adam curry here
0:25
John C Dvorak: from brothers Silicon Valley where we want to
0:27
remind people that no dude over 40 is going to rock and roll all
0:30
night and party every day. It's bullcrap. I'm Johnson's war axe
0:35
Adam Curry: kill. Oh, have you know, I was rocking and rolling
0:42
all night in part and every single day when I was 40 You
0:46
weren't you? You were when you were 40 I remember you when you
0:50
were 40 Don't I know? You were pulling apart computers on the
0:57
TV? Yeah,
0:59
John C Dvorak: well, those guys that rock and rolling all night,
1:02
whatever that means. And partying every day, which is
1:05
which, which presumes by the wording that you're better you
1:09
never get any sleep bullcrap. Hey. Hello. You and Darryl
1:15
singing along with that song. I couldn't know Dara thinking his
1:19
Adam Curry: name is now Daryl. Daryl.
1:22
John C Dvorak: Daryl, you and Darryl and his other brother
1:26
Daryl.
1:30
Adam Curry: You cracked me up Jhansi Devorah. Oh, man. Well, I
1:36
feel Are you okay? That you knock I dropped this clip sheet.
1:40
Oh, no. And it is it's a literal sheet, isn't it? It's a
1:43
clipboard. Tell me it's a clipboard.
1:46
John C Dvorak: clipboard sorry. Just a piece of paper. Well,
1:51
Adam Curry: speaking of pulling computers apart. I had such a
1:55
great week. I loved Monday and Tuesday was so funny. As these
2:00
numb nut Nimrods in Silicon Valley, tried to convince us
2:06
that AI is great. It's great. Everybody is just great. I'm
2:13
gonna tell you right now. I'm going short AI and long on
2:16
people. This is here. Would you like a 45 second overview of the
2:22
Google I O event with Sundar Pichai and all of his
2:25
executives.
2:28
John C Dvorak: This is Yes, actually, I was gonna get this
2:30
clip. That you got it? Yeah,
2:33
Unknown: IPI ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
2:40
ai ai really useful. ai ai ai ai AI. AI ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai
2:53
ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai, ai ai,
3:04
ai students AI and that's the power of generative ai ai
3:12
toolkit. Generative, generative, generative AI. AI ai ai,
3:19
Adam Curry: was there anything that you heard of that you
3:21
thought might be useful in your life? At Google presented
3:25
anything?
3:26
John C Dvorak: No, but I saw a report that was kind of
3:28
frightening. Oh,
3:30
Adam Curry: did you get a clip of Cedric? No, no, I
3:32
John C Dvorak: wish I didn't have a clip and I had to explain
3:35
it. Actually, I'll get a clip and put it on the next show.
3:38
Adam Curry: Okay, well, then I have one more clip here. Because
3:40
not to be just more who put that together? You didn't know? I
3:44
didn't know know that. That's been circulating. Now. Let's be
3:46
circular. It's
3:47
John C Dvorak: a good clip.
3:47
Adam Curry: It's a great clip. I mean, that's what when people do
3:50
that, then you know that no one's buying it. You know
3:53
instead of Oh, boy. Oh, so good. But now but now not to be
3:58
outdone. Open ai ai ai open AI Sam Altman's. What's that calty
4:05
was in again. Was that six cold? Those guys are in? Yeah, it was.
4:11
Yeah, I forget the name of that section. It
4:13
John C Dvorak: was a sex coach.
4:14
Adam Curry: I think it still is a sex call.
4:16
John C Dvorak: I think it's still in business. Yeah, I think
4:18
so. What? What, what, who breaks up a sex cult keep nobody
4:22
effective?
4:23
Adam Curry: No, especially not if you're said leader of said
4:25
sex call. You gotta made Effective Altruism. We're going
4:30
to save the world with math. So they they came up with a demo,
4:37
which was as I've distilled this, a classic classic Silicon
4:42
Valley demo. Classic. So there's a guy sitting in a room. This
4:47
John C Dvorak: guy. Well, let me explain what that means to the
4:49
public. Oh, please do all be S.
4:53
Adam Curry: I'll be all the time. It's unbelievable. But now
4:58
Now because of this demo. And I looked up the definition of the
5:03
word reason to reason. So when when AI can reason it would be
5:12
like the AI would see me sitting here in my room and would
5:16
presume Oh, by see a microphone. I see a mixer. I see you got
5:23
headphones on. Are you about to do a podcast? See that's what
5:27
that's reasoning. But yeah, so they're open AI is is now
5:34
effectively a a creepy, somewhat over sexualized spokesmodel who
5:47
got on my nerves very quickly. It's kind of like Siri with a
5:51
personality. So here's the guy sitting in a room, then, and
5:56
he's holding up the camera, and the open AI is having a
6:01
conversation with him.
6:03
Unknown: Hey, how's it going?
6:04
Hey, there, it's going great. How about you? I see you're
6:08
rockin an open AI hoodie. Nice choice. What's up with that
6:12
ceiling about? Are you in a cool industries to office or
6:15
something? Well, can you take a guess at what that might be
6:17
doing based on what you hear?
6:21
John C Dvorak: I can't tell which gay guy is the AI? And
6:26
which gay guy is the is the person that'd be the kind of
6:29
female I'm very similar. They both are affectations. Let's put
6:34
it that way. Yes.
6:35
Adam Curry: I love the I see you're rockin a cool open AI
6:39
hoodie.
6:40
John C Dvorak: Now, now if I held that counter, so that's the
6:42
that's the AI talk. And then
6:44
Adam Curry: because the AI is reasoning, you see, it's
6:45
reasoning that it's not rigged. This demo at all, is, of course,
6:50
reasoning. And we continue.
6:54
Unknown: From what I can see, it looks like you're in some kind
6:57
of recording or production setup. With those lights,
7:00
tripods and possibly a mic. It seems like you might be gearing
7:04
up to shoot a video, or maybe even a live stream. Yeah. Yeah.
7:10
Why
7:11
Adam Curry: wouldn't the AI say podcast? Or television show? But
7:17
no, it's some kind of demonstration or live stream
7:21
perhaps.
7:22
Unknown: Or maybe even a live stream? Good point. Yeah. In
7:26
fact, we've got a new announcement to make. Or
7:28
Adam Curry: how about are you gonna send me a dick pic? No,
7:30
no, no, no, the reasoning is smart. Okay, let's see what he's
7:34
in fact about to do. That's
7:36
Unknown: exciting. Announcements are always a big deal. Judging
7:39
by the Senate looks like it's gonna be quite the professional
7:42
production. Is this announcement related to open AI? Perhaps it
7:47
is. And in fact,
7:48
Adam Curry: Oh, wow. This thing is so smart. He's like, Wait a
7:53
minute. You rockin the open AI hoodie. You've got video and
7:58
light. Could this be something about open AI?
8:02
Unknown: Is this announcement related to open AI? It is. And
8:06
in fact,
8:06
what if I were to say that you're related to the
8:08
announcement or that you are the announcement?
8:12
Me? The announcement is about me. Okay,
8:16
Adam Curry: this is where when creepy for
8:18
John C Dvorak: me? Because it phony laughs weird
8:21
Adam Curry: kind of it's lightly sexualized. Which is kind of
8:25
creepy. Me. You're talking about little old me. Huh? My pants.
8:34
Unknown: The announcement is about me. Well,
8:38
John C Dvorak: this is not a road. This is like somebody on a
8:40
microphone someplace.
8:42
Adam Curry: On his bed gets better. Well, Color
8:45
Unknown: me intrigued. Are you about to reveal something about
8:48
AI? Or?
8:50
John C Dvorak: Hold on? Yeah. How does the AI voice breeze
8:54
like that? You know, in and out. I mean, this is ridiculous.
8:59
Adam Curry: This is how good it's gotten. John. It's
9:01
reasoning. It's comic strip blogger breathing somehow our
9:04
mystery blogger thinks everyone would be dead in five years.
9:07
This is all this going to be running. Is this.
9:11
Unknown: Something about AI or more specifically about me as a
9:14
part of open AI? You've got me on the edge of my Well, I don't
9:19
really have a seat but you get the idea. Ah,
9:23
John C Dvorak: oh, and it's funny. It's doing materials
9:25
doing stick. What's
9:26
Unknown: the big news? Yeah, we've got a new model interact
9:31
with the world through audio vision and texts.
9:34
Adam Curry: Oh, man, they have demos. They do have a blind dude
9:37
in Times Square holding up his phone told me what I'm not
9:41
seeing. I mean, come on. It's it's it's embarrassing at this
9:48
point. He's embarrassed. And Sam Altman, I tried to clip he did a
9:53
an hour long interview with his one of his venture capital
9:57
partners on their podcast and this is the thing These days,
10:00
you have a VC company and
10:02
John C Dvorak: then you have well, this is not just the state
10:04
this has been going on for years. But
10:06
Adam Curry: you have your podcast or in residence. Oh, I'm
10:09
going to interview Sam about that podcast and residents I
10:12
love. Podcasts are in residence for sure.
10:16
John C Dvorak: I'm a podcast and residents. What do you do? Sit
10:19
here.
10:20
Adam Curry: It's an exit strategy.
10:22
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
10:24
Adam Curry: Hello, Adam curry, Jhansi Dvorak. Here we are
10:25
podcasters in residence for Kleiner Perkins. Let's talk
10:29
about some green tech, everybody. So here's my
10:34
question. Because you asked good GPT for Oh, little Oh, how will
10:40
actually make money? I would like to ask that question. And
10:45
when will it make my email better? You want to impress me?
10:49
Let me run this thing on my email. So it knows what I want
10:54
to see. It pops things to the top, it learns it does machine
10:57
learning, it can reason how to lie when I don't really want to
11:01
respond to somebody do that, and I'll be impressed.
11:06
John C Dvorak: That's a good product you just described of
11:07
course,
11:08
Adam Curry: that's that is the product. That's the killer app.
11:12
But no, no, instead, of
11:14
John C Dvorak: course, I can't do anything. That's no, you're
11:17
Adam Curry: rockin a cool open AI hoodie there. People but you
11:24
know, I got emails from people I I still kind of respect. Like
11:31
the former New York banker, the former New York banker, he says,
11:34
Look at this man. It's really getting somewhere now. And he
11:37
said he sends me a link to this demo. I'm like, Are you kidding
11:40
me?
11:41
John C Dvorak: Kittens. Really getting somewhere? Yeah, he got
11:46
suckered by the demo that demo is, is obviously a fake.
11:49
Adam Curry: Yeah. I mean, we've done these demos, John. Now,
11:53
mind you, we could be in Kuala Lumpur. I mean, I'm with Mark
11:57
Kanter. I've done the demos. I've done the demos. Here's how
12:01
it works in Silicon Valley. But okay, let's go raise a trillion
12:05
dollars. We need more money. When this thing comes spinning
12:08
apart is going to be hilarious to watch. And it will always
12:14
does always does. Yeah. And although you think this this is
12:16
a real cycle, like the cycle. Well, I
12:19
John C Dvorak: have watched this over and over. Yeah. And it's
12:22
always it happens at some point it sticks.
12:25
Adam Curry: Yeah, but it's what sticking is as well. What's not
12:28
John C Dvorak: it's not. I mean, I'm first they get this could
12:31
stick I think some aspects of it will. But with stuff like what
12:37
you just played is, is is disconcerting. It's I can't say
12:42
the word right. disconcerted. disheartening.
12:46
Adam Curry: Yeah. But it's disheartening is that people are
12:48
great bids. Here we go. It's reasoning is smart is smart.
12:51
That's
12:52
John C Dvorak: the way those demos work that we've seen this
12:54
over the years that oh, they they're very effective at
12:56
Buffalo in the public.
12:59
Adam Curry: And if you ask anyone, I mean, it's actually
13:02
pretty good at helping people code. Okay. But it's not going
13:06
to replace coders because writing code is like, poetry
13:09
prose, you know, it's not Yeah. Okay. But a little simple
13:13
program. Sure. You can replace some widgets in the
13:16
organization, but not people who actually code software as a, as
13:21
a creative endeavor that it really is, you know, putting
13:25
design in the back of their mind is they're doing it. Oh, it's
13:29
like, it's like disco. It's like disco of code. It's like it's
13:32
programmatic. Okay, well, yes, some of that is good. I mean, if
13:36
anybody who has spent any time trying to get any AI to sort
13:41
through any data, oh, I can upload a Google spreadsheet to
13:44
at Google, what is it called? What is the Google Google Doc?
13:50
John C Dvorak: Google calc count
13:51
Adam Curry: because I want to visit this crazy cow. I can
13:55
upload my visit. I can upload my VisiCalc to it. And you know,
14:00
but by the time you're done, and by the time you're done
14:02
correcting it. I mean, it always has 20% error rate and then you
14:06
probably could have gotten gotten more done. If you just
14:09
did it yourself. Now it's just doesn't sheets. There you go.
14:13
Thank you Google Sheets. She hates
14:16
John C Dvorak: sheets, the sheets man totally sheets.
14:21
Adam Curry: Then the former New York banker did send me this pre
14:23
pre print durably reducing conspiracy beliefs through
14:29
dialogues with AI Oh, yes, they've done a stir that'll do
14:33
it. They've done a study across two experiments, we find robust
14:36
evidence. That's better than no evidence robust evidence that
14:41
the debunking conversation with the AI reduced belief in
14:44
conspiracy theories by roughly 20%
14:49
John C Dvorak: to 20%. What conspiracy theories are we
14:51
talking about? Oh,
14:52
Adam Curry: Moon Landing and stuff. Now. The effects did not
14:55
decay over two months time. So it's stuck. was consistently
15:01
observed across a wide range of different conspiracy theories,
15:04
and occurred even for participants whose conspiracy
15:07
beliefs were deeply entrenched, and of great importance to their
15:11
identities. But I'd be You
15:15
John C Dvorak: what 20%? Is this a small number, it seems to me,
15:19
Adam Curry: it's roughly so it's probably 18 or 17. Furthermore,
15:24
although the dialogues were focused on a single conspiracy
15:27
theory, the intervention spilled over to reduce beliefs in
15:30
unrelated conspiracies, indicating a general increase in
15:34
conspiratorial worldview, as well as increasing intentions to
15:38
challenge others who espouse their chosen conspiracy. These
15:43
highlighting these findings highlight that even many people
15:46
who strongly believe in seemingly fact resistant could
15:49
spiritual beliefs can change their minds in the face of
15:52
sufficient evidence. There's hope for me. There's hope for me
15:57
yet. With AI. I hope that that groovy chick in the open AI
16:02
system will talk me off the ledge next time. It's amazing.
16:08
It's amazing. That's where we're at. I mean, who knew who needs
16:12
who needs anything?
16:13
John C Dvorak: We don't need anything. Yeah, you ran into a
16:16
brick wall with that. Yeah, I
16:17
Adam Curry: know. So it's okay. Sorry, I should have stopped
16:21
earlier. You're right. Now the big I think there's a couple of
16:26
big stories out there. I see you have a multi partner, so I'm
16:29
going to lead you into it. I'm gonna let you loose and then I'm
16:33
gonna come back and I'm gonna close. I'm gonna close the deal
16:36
on this one. Okay. So yeah, the Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because it's
16:40
not going away. It's bird flow. That's not medical news.
16:43
Unknown: We can with America's favorite doctor, the US Federal
16:45
Government,
16:46
Adam Curry: America's favorite doctor,
16:47
Unknown: but is announcing new funding to help mitigate the
16:49
risks of the bird flu outbreak among livestock?
16:52
Yeah, and we've covered this before. We've been talking about
16:55
it for a while, while now when you have a spreading pathogen,
16:59
like avian influenza, do you want to try to mitigate and
17:03
contain that spread? And this is what the federal government is
17:06
really targeting the industry and agriculture
17:09
Adam Curry: as well. Let me take you through it. It's a spreading
17:11
pathogen.
17:12
Unknown: They are pledging financial support for PPE for
17:15
employees affected,
17:17
Adam Curry: okay, now listen carefully. They're all the words
17:21
we've learned PPE pathogen, so they're going to give PPE to
17:27
people who might be exposed to the non existent threat of bird
17:31
flu in cows.
17:33
Unknown: Let me take you through it. They are pledging financial
17:35
support for PPE for employees of affected herds, because we know
17:40
that now, there are at least nine states involved with these
17:43
infected herds, funding for heat treatment disposal of impacted
17:47
milk because that's the only bio secure way of disposing of milk
17:52
that has been exposed or infected. compensation of
17:56
producers for the loss of milk production is obviously
18:00
important and they need to work with the states to limit the
18:03
movement of lactating cattle because again, from the
18:06
agriculture and industry standpoint, you really need to
18:08
protect the people who are closest to these infected
18:12
animals at this
18:13
John C Dvorak: point, I just love to say that it was a cow,
18:16
white lactating, animal,
18:18
Adam Curry: lactating cattle, it just sounds good. All right, we
18:21
got one more
18:22
John C Dvorak: that you know that what that plays into the
18:26
birthing person. Things Yes, lactating, but now they're
18:29
moving it over to the animal world. It's not taking cattle is
18:34
a cow. Hello.
18:37
Adam Curry: It's not a meal. It's not a dairy cow. lactating
18:39
cattle, lactating animals that lactate with four legs. So now
18:46
this it's off the hook is very important. what's being said
18:50
here?
18:50
John C Dvorak: Where'd that come from? By the way?
18:51
Adam Curry: That's ABC with Dr. Jen Ashton, America's favorite
18:54
doctor.
18:54
John C Dvorak: Oh, she should be she should be fired.
18:57
Adam Curry: Well, hold on. I got another clip. And I'm gonna let
18:59
you loose on your on your raw milk clips. Of course, I haven't
19:02
heard that we never listen to each other's clips. But I saw
19:04
him. So I know we're going to you're going to fill the
19:06
doughnut hole here. So it's very important to note that the as I
19:10
predicted, they're talking about calling herds Oh, no, the bee
19:13
compensation. This is what they've been doing with ranchers
19:17
and farmers for decades in the United States is how you get
19:21
everyone in control. It's like, Hey, don't worry if your crops
19:25
fail if your herd has to get called because of I'm sorry,
19:28
your lactating cattle needs to be called because it has some
19:31
mythical bird flu virus in it that we've detected somewhere
19:36
with PCR spun up to 80 cycles. Don't worry, we'll take care of
19:40
your farmers.
19:41
Unknown: It's called bird flu, but we cattle so it's reacting
19:44
multiple animals. This is a question so
19:46
Adam Curry: people are multiple animals now and a half. How do I
19:48
keep this affecting me?
19:50
Unknown: Listen, I've had conversations with senior
19:53
official Oh,
19:54
Adam Curry: how is this going to affect me? It's going to affect
19:56
me. Can I get the bird flu question
19:58
Unknown: so people are going to have How do I Keep from this
20:01
affecting me
20:02
Listen I have conversations with senior officials at the CDC
20:05
right now they are considering the risk to the overall US
20:08
population to be low but who is at higher risk to people who
20:13
work in these industries so right now you should try to
20:16
remove yourself from any animal that definitely appears to be
20:20
ill if you're talking about birds or cattle. And then again,
20:23
I think we need to realize that Start
20:25
John C Dvorak: Stop stop stop the clip
20:27
Adam Curry: stop and clip
20:28
John C Dvorak: Do they have any evidence or even one dead cow
20:33
died from bird flu that they can document there
20:36
Adam Curry: is no lactating animal that has died the cows
20:40
are fine the cows like have you seen the cows or move with the
20:45
tongue just like a normal cow fortunately
20:48
Unknown: appears to be ill if you're talking about birds or
20:50
John C Dvorak: be ill she said up here appears to be ill
20:53
Unknown: and then again I think we need to show
20:55
Adam Curry: you is not a veterinarian She's practicing
20:57
veterinary medicine without a license here as far as I'm
21:01
concerned
21:02
Unknown: definitely appears to be ill if you're talking about
21:04
birds or cattle and then again I think we need to realize that it
21:08
starts with containing amongst our agriculture and that's what
21:12
we're seeing the federal government right now
21:14
Adam Curry: all right so federal government stepping in John now
21:16
of course the main the main culprit where it all starts
21:19
where we're all worried we're worried we're worried we're
21:21
worried raw milk whereas you would say Milk Milk is the
21:27
John C Dvorak: Western Way raw metal cargo with raw milk milk I
21:31
can say milk Yeah, you can. Yeah, now this is we've been
21:37
clipping this for a while they're they're just going after
21:39
raw milk like there's no tomorrow and so to pound it home
21:44
you know they were doing it kind of in an oblique way in the
21:48
previous couple of shows clips but NPR compounded home that
21:53
pretty much gonna just talk nothing but raw milk in these
21:57
few clips. I got six of them. They're short, but they're and
22:01
they need to be interrupted a lot. So that's why I chopped it
22:04
up. But here we go raw, raw milk, Bs and
22:07
Adam Curry: a reminder and a disclaimer, elitist
22:09
Unknown: voices of America. This is NPR
22:14
or PBS the
22:15
bird flu outbreak continues to spread among cows. The virus has
22:19
now been found in almost 50 dairy herds across nine states.
22:24
Health officials say milk that is pasteurized to kill germs is
22:27
safe to drink. But the Food and Drug Administration has renewed
22:30
warnings against raw milk. They continue
22:33
to strongly advise against the consumption of raw milk and
22:36
recommend that industry does not manufacture or sell raw milk or
22:40
raw milk products.
22:41
Now unpasteurized or raw milk is still being sold in many states
22:45
and advocates for raw milk say the federal government has
22:48
always opposed this consumption so why should they listen now?
22:52
Well, we're here to talk more about this whole situation are
22:55
MPSP long and Kira Eisner hate both of you
22:58
for alpha Hey, hey, hey,
23:01
hey Siri, I'm gonna start with you. I'm
23:03
Adam Curry: sorry. I'll shut up I see you already did all over
23:06
the joke. I know but this is what you do with my clips so
23:09
I'll I will present the correct example and I shall no longer
23:13
step on your clips. I apologize in
23:15
Unknown: our amperes being long and Kara Eisner. Hey to both of
23:18

23:34
John C Dvorak: Soto Hey, hey, hey, what what do you say? What
23:37

23:50
welcome to the show. No, oh, no. Oh, no, no, this is just hey,
23:54
hey, you know what their family at NPR? I think that's they
23:58
probably a memo went out. We sound too serious guys. When we
24:02
do our handovers let's make it sound like we're a family. Hey,
24:07
don't you think that's a memo these these
24:10
John C Dvorak: guys ain't there wasn't no but you deal with
24:13
family? What do you say? Hey, what to your family? Hey,
24:18
Adam Curry: friends. This this. This is a thing. Hey, friend,
24:21
John C Dvorak: Randy said what a sales car. I used car sales guy.
24:25
No, this is what
24:26
Adam Curry: Millennials Gen Z. This is what Joe Rogan says.
24:30
Hey, friends. Hey, he says hey friends at the start of every
24:34
single one of his ads. Hey friends. Yeah. It's kind of a
24:39
generic non threatening because you can't say hey guys, oops.
24:43
You can't say hey people oops. Um, so it is the it is a safe
24:49
way to address a crowd Hey, friends. It is close next
24:54
tonight ladies
24:55
John C Dvorak: and germs. Oh no, my
24:56
Adam Curry: favorite way. Oh, no, no. Hey, it's it's a follow
24:59
on to Hey comrade I think I think it's a
25:02
John C Dvorak: a comrade it is. Yes. You nailed it. Yeah,
25:05
Adam Curry: it's Hey comrade. Yeah. Okay, let's just listen to
25:07
that again. Hey, comrades. That's what it is. It's code for
25:11
comrade. Well,
25:12
Unknown: we're here to talk more about this whole situation our
25:14
NPSP long and Kira Eisner hate both
25:17
of you. Hey, Elsa. Hey, hey, Elsa. Hey, hey, hey. So
25:21
Carrie, I want to start with you because you wrote to Texas last
25:23
week and you were here on this mission to find raw milk and
25:28
test it for this virus. What did you find?
25:31
I found it was quite easy to purchase in Texas, it's legal
25:34
there. And all I had to do was drive up to these farms and
25:39
purchase the milk directly from them. In some cases, there was a
25:43
store attendant who I paid the money to in other cases, there
25:47
wasn't even anybody there. I just opened the door to the
25:50
fridge, grabbed the milk, left cash in a drop box and came out.
25:56
Adam Curry: Wow, Texas is in an out of control, man. You just
26:00
walk up and grab the milk. And you're good to go. Whoa,
26:04
John C Dvorak: they don't quite make they I think they're
26:07
somewhat baffled. We have this in Washington.
26:09
Adam Curry: It's called Self Service Honor system friend,
26:12
John C Dvorak: some routers onramps. They're called onfarm
26:15
honor farms. You know, that's a good and they're all over the
26:17
place. And you just go up there. Now if there was in California,
26:22
they would not only not pay, they would steal the box of
26:26
money and the refrigerator would both be gone.
26:30
Adam Curry: As long as it's under $950 in value. It's okay
26:33
comrade.
26:35
John C Dvorak: So I found it was she seemed a bit none of she was
26:40
what she wants. She was baffled by the fact that you could just
26:42
go buy something without having to see somebody that you had to
26:46
do it by honor.
26:47
Adam Curry: What is this? Hold on? Isn't that how California
26:49
shopping works? You just go in and take it out?
26:52
John C Dvorak: Well, nowadays.
26:55
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. All right. Next clip.
26:57
Unknown: In one of those farms in San Antonio. I met another
27:01
woman who was buying milk. Her name was Cheryl Moss from and
27:04
she said she's been drinking raw milk on and off for the past 15
27:07
to 20 years
27:08
because I think that Roundup is typically a much better quality.
27:11
Right now. We're just kind of watching the situation. And
27:14
that was in Texas, which was around zero for this outbreak.
27:18
Adam Curry: We're ground zero or
27:21
John C Dvorak: Texas or ground zero. You know,
27:25
Adam Curry: it was the meat mafia boys who gave me my most
27:28
recent jug of raw milk. Oh, you
27:31
John C Dvorak: got some? Oh, it is.
27:34
Adam Curry: It's almost like eggnog. It's so good. It's
27:37
pretty taste is eggnog is basically if you like eggnog,
27:40
you will like raw milk scientists can
27:42
Unknown: tell that's where bird flu jumps to cows last December
27:46
and kicked off this whole outbreak. Wait so
27:48
can people get bird flu from drinking raw milk?
27:53
Adam Curry: Wait But wait, drink
27:55
John C Dvorak: writing read from this Scripps ping like what I
27:58
know for CES?
28:00
Adam Curry: Yes. In bold in bold letters with italics
28:04
Unknown: seeking raw milk pink, like what do we know about the
28:07
risks?
28:08
Well, it's all theoretical. And the answer is maybe but
28:11
honestly, health officials just don't know. So the FDA we heard
28:16
from him in the intro, he's very clear that the agency doesn't
28:19
recommend drinking raw milk but he also says that there are a
28:22
lot of open questions.
28:24
Adam Curry: I just want to remind everybody because I know
28:26
that we were doing the show when this happened. I think we were
28:30
what were we doing the show when I had the castle? No, I don't
28:34
think so. No, it was a year prep post castle. So pre show I had
28:41
the castle in Belgium good good times. And we had we you own the
28:46
castle. I own the castle. Yes. You rented it as I said good
28:50
times. No, no, no, no, no.
28:53
John C Dvorak: Those were that's got overhead issues. Yeah,
28:55
Adam Curry: because you got to get a guy to do the outside you
28:59
got to get someone on the inside and then a third person to make
29:01
sure those people aren't ripping you off. Now it's bad. And
29:04
that's all in Belgium where everything is complicated. But
29:07
anyway, we had a black swans a family of black swans and the
29:10
mother and father always stay there which was nice. The you
29:14
know, the swan swans will come up and that actually walk into
29:17
the into the living room sometimes. What? Oh, yeah. Oh,
29:21
yeah. Swans are
29:22
Unknown: braised up the door open.
29:24
Adam Curry: Yes. This Ron come in. He's like, You got something
29:26
to eat? Yeah, all swans? Dude. When I when I this was Dude.
29:32
John C Dvorak: Dude. I had a helipad. This is good. I know
29:34
you had a helipad. Right? So I would come in. How much money
29:38
were you burning?
29:39
Adam Curry: Oh, I burned it off. I burned it all on castles and
29:42
helicopters. I burnt literally burned my money in the air. So
29:45
I'd come flying and you're coming into a slow hover.
29:50
John C Dvorak: 300 feet there was a black swan chopped up. No,
29:52
they
29:53
Adam Curry: would both come flying toward me. And and split
29:58
off like cut Top Gun. shorts, they would split off to the
30:01
right and the left it was. And they would always do that they
30:03
will come and say hello to me. Anyway, so we had tons of ducks.
30:08
And then there was bird flu. And the bird flu was bad. And they
30:12
were calling chickens all over the place. In fact, it came into
30:18
like a three kilometer radius. And it was right around the
30:21
castle because we were pretty sure that we're going to come
30:23
and call our, our, our ducks and our swans, and I was kind of
30:27
ready for some kind of confrontation. And, but that
30:31
didn't happen. It stayed contained. And one of the guys
30:35
you know, one of my neighbors who had chickens, he got bird
30:38
flu. And he would come over to the house. He's like, Oh, how
30:41
you doing? I got the bird flu. And it was like a like a, like a
30:45
bad flu. And he lived he just we just stayed home for a day or
30:50
two and took some took some Advil. And he got over it and he
30:54
lived he did not die. And it was the authorities that killed all
30:59
his chickens. Now, they were still tasty. So anyway, long,
31:04
long story short, this is this is not a dangerous disease for
31:08
humans. No more dangerous than the flu. And immune members,
31:13
swine flu. I had swine flu. Remember, I got swine flu.
31:16
John C Dvorak: I live you guys swine flu.
31:18
Adam Curry: I lived I lived. Okay, back to pressing
31:22
John C Dvorak: your luck with this conversation.
31:24
Unknown: There's not a tremendous amount of studies
31:26
showing the infectivity related to this virus and raw milk
31:31
products.
31:31
But one person whose for sure.
31:34
John C Dvorak: Did you hear what he just yeah, why are they
31:36
banning it and making a big fuss? They've got no they got
31:40
nothing. Nothing, nothing evidence. So so
31:43
Adam Curry: here is my story. reiterated by the experts.
31:47
There's not
31:47
Unknown: a tremendous amount of studies showing the infectivity
31:50
related to this virus and raw milk products. But
31:54
one person who's for sure gotten bird flu so far was a dairy
31:57
worker in Texas and he was dealing with sick cows he
32:01
probably got exposed to sprays of infected milk and manure both
32:09
as far as health authorities can tell no one has gotten bird food
32:12
from drinking raw milk yet. That's what we're hopeful for
32:16
from drinking raw milk yet. So what they're leaning on in their
32:19
recommendation is the fact that people have gotten sick from
32:22
other things in raw milk like salmonella and E. Coli. And
32:26
that's why they don't think people should drink it. No one
32:28
Adam Curry: has gotten sick from the raw milk. They're just
32:31
saying that so
32:33
John C Dvorak: here we go. Now the thing that bothered me about
32:35
what they were I cut it off there because the thing about
32:39
raw milk that is problematic and it comes up in these dairies
32:43
aren't doing their job and is Listeriosis not and they don't
32:47
even mention that. And so Listeriosis, which also shows up
32:52
everyplace else too. There's a CDC page I sent you a copy of it
32:57
was shown in the show notes, but people should look on the on
33:02
this page as you will check it out and read the the outbreaks
33:05
of Listeriosis that are on the on the sidebar on the left and
33:09
I'm going to read a few of them is the reporting timeline.
33:13
listeria outbreak linked to queso fresco and CO T hace so
33:19
first outbreak linked to peaches, nectarines and plums
33:23
listeria outbreak linked to ice cream, listeria outbreak leaked
33:28
to leafy greens listeria outbreak linked to a gnocchi
33:32
mushrooms listeria outbreak linked to deli meat and cheese
33:37
my favorite on and on and
33:40
Adam Curry: Nick link to Bri and come on bear
33:43
John C Dvorak: Bri and Cameron bear and package and my daughter
33:46
is the raw milk on this list. Whereas it's not there. Here's
33:53
one the outbreak of listeria infections linked to hard boiled
33:56
eggs.
33:59
Unknown: I mean, where are you from milk?
34:01
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's not there. It's not there.
34:03
John C Dvorak: No list is not on this
34:05
Adam Curry: and that that is the CDC page they're referring to
34:10
what they're referring to here Yeah, as a side as a side note,
34:13
what
34:13
John C Dvorak: is the hang up you know me me I said it on the
34:16
last show made me claims is because that it required the
34:20
kinds of inspections the raw milk dairies require and what
34:23
they have to do is too much work for the USDA, the CDC and
34:27
everybody else they don't want to do it. They just don't want
34:30
to do it so they just assume you boil everything and send it out
34:33
to the public and screw the public of even if they want to
34:35
drink raw milk because it's probably healthier or is claimed
34:39
to be because it's got more enzymes and everything natural
34:42
Adam Curry: bakwin So I got a boots on the ground from
34:45
producer crystal and she said you know, we were very poor for
34:48
a while and the I was able to get some food and some and some
34:54
wi C Food Program money that's the women infant and children.
34:58
So it's a poverty program. I'm like food stamps here in Texas
35:02
and the government supplemental food program for low for low
35:06
income families now, the so they they weren't poor enough for
35:09
food stamps but they but they were poor enough to get the W
35:13
IC. So the only high protein they were allowed to get was the
35:19
only meat here it is the only meat you're allowed to get was
35:22
canned fish.
35:25
John C Dvorak: Tuna. Yeah, everything
35:27
Adam Curry: was high in sugar. We also had so much juice and
35:31
frozen juice. We didn't use it because I couldn't imagine
35:33
giving my child juice at every meal. So their firstborn was
35:37
basically a vegetarian, but then became zinc deficient.
35:41
underweight. Of course, WNYC gave some PD assure. And then my
35:46
son started having 40 minute tantrums, he was absent, you
35:51
know, like absent minded, his blood sugar was spiking from the
35:54
PDF. Sure. So finally, they got to a better place financially,
35:58
we're very happy. And she says, I started putting the kids on
36:02
grass fed meat, raw milk, pasture raised eggs, and we've
36:05
never had a problem since the kids look beautiful. So there
36:11
you go. It's the OP whenever the government says something run
36:14
the opposite way. run the other direction. They want us they
36:21
either want us dead. I don't
36:23
John C Dvorak: know what their problem is with the problem with
36:25
these agencies that they're they're corrupted. Yes. They've
36:27
been captured by various industries and they're just
36:30
corrupted. There's nothing There's no two ways about it.
36:32
Yes. And his milk thing is ridiculous. So but let's go on
36:35
with
36:36
Adam Curry: your point. Let's just stick a pin in that they're
36:39
corrupted. Because they are all for industry. They're not for
36:43
your health. CDC is not for your health. They are for industry.
36:47
Remember COVID? And
36:49
Unknown: are people who drink raw milk actually taking this
36:52
advice? laugh till it
36:53
doesn't seem like it. I'll set okay, we reached
36:57
Adam Curry: but I do I sit at home. I drink my pasteurized
37:00
milk.
37:00
Unknown: It doesn't seem like it. I'll set okay. We reached
37:03
out to a few raw milk groups. And they say that the customers
37:06
have been asking a lot of questions, but demand seems to
37:09
be holding steady.
37:10
How popular is raw milk anyway? Like I don't think I have ever
37:13
tasted it. Yeah.
37:16
Adam Curry: She's never tasted raw milk this woman and she's a
37:19
reporter and she's reporting on the story. Isn't that something
37:22
like you? You'd want to do that? I mean, we've reported on
37:26
Adderall. Why? Because I've tried it. Vyvanse tried it.
37:30
Tried everything. I mean, we want to know about LSD. We go to
37:34
John C. Dvorak. we've all tried it. We're real reporters. I've
37:38
I've never had raw milk Harmer. Fran
37:41
Unknown: is raw milk anyway, like, I don't think I have ever
37:43
tasted it. Yeah,
37:45
well, this not actually was
37:46
John C Dvorak: stopped stopped by the left. She doesn't think
37:49
she's ever tasted it. Does she not even know what she's up to
37:53
on a day to day basis? And she's drinking stuff? I don't know. I
37:57
remember. Hammered
37:59
Adam Curry: man. I don't remember what it was. Anyway,
38:01
Unknown: like, I don't think I have ever tasted it.
38:03
Yeah, well, there's not actually a lot of raw milk drinkers. less
38:07
than 2% of the adult population in the US, according to an FDA
38:11
study from a couple of years ago know
38:12
John C Dvorak: what it is 6 million people,
38:14
Adam Curry: these women, they drink soy milk and nuts. That's
38:19
why
38:19
John C Dvorak: they drink nuts. Almond milk, yes, that's the
38:22
muck.
38:23
Unknown: But the ones who do drink it are very passionate
38:25
about it. And they usually fall into two camps. So there's the
38:29
Trump voters original raw milk supporters who've been around
38:32
for decades, they've long wanted access to local healthy food.
38:36
And more recently, movement has picked up people that want less
38:40
government regulation, food freedom. So hopefully we've
38:44
watched this industry for a long time say that this food freedom
38:47
was boosted by COVID When distrust of the government and
38:50
government scientists really grew Oh,
38:53
Adam Curry: there it is food freedom they must be Republicans
38:56
food freedom, trust of the science dog. Imagine that food
39:02
freedom. And I'm looking at the trolls and the trolls have good
39:07
points as always, but you have to think that the government
39:11
wants to kill you and weaken your immune system. If only it
39:15
were that easy. What John said is correct. They are captured
39:19
they are working for industry industry says we can't have this
39:22
we need to sell our pasteurized milk or nuts that products that
39:27
that is what you can. These are big lobbies. So that's why they
39:32
get these reports put out and get em they're clearly feeding
39:35
the news media wait until you hear my CBS clips.
39:39
John C Dvorak: And by the way, I want to mention this is about a
39:41
15 minute report blasting raw milk I just shipped out a bunch
39:44
about five six minutes of it
39:46
Adam Curry: you have chipped Well my friend. A chipping away.
39:49
John C Dvorak: What about was what clip for? Yeah, where are
39:51
you filming clip now? We're
39:52
Adam Curry: on five now we're on five ready? Fine.
39:54
Unknown: What about testing? I mean, it sounds like there's all
39:56
this fear and people are saying no, that's just speculation. But
40:00
it seems like knowing whether there is actually the virus
40:03
inside the raw milk supply would help clear this up. So Chiara,
40:06
what do we know? Why does
40:08
Adam Curry: she keep laughing about it?
40:11
John C Dvorak: I don't know. It's weird. It's
40:14
Adam Curry: these people, these Republicans is Trump voters than
40:17
tricking the drinking bird flu virus.
40:21
Unknown: You're right. It would really help to know if and how
40:25
much virus is out there in the virus supply being sold now to
40:29
people
40:29
Adam Curry: how much virus is being sold to people? Wow. NPR
40:34
needs to be shut down. In fact, it
40:37
John C Dvorak: does need to be shut down. It would kind of hurt
40:39
our show. But it needs to be shut down.
40:43
Unknown: But testing doesn't seem to be happening regularly.
40:46
And that data is really hard to come by. That's why we tried to
40:49
find our own. But when I brought raw milk that I bought from
40:52
those for Texas farms to one of the few labs authorized by the
40:56
USDA to test milk for bird flu, the lab insisted on calling each
41:01
of the four farms first for permission. Though the USDA has
41:05
confirmed the agency doesn't require permission from farms to
41:08
perform the test. None of the farms gave the lab permission to
41:12
run the tests. They told the lab they were aware of what a non
41:16
negative result would do for their business. So the lab
41:19
refused to test our samples.
41:21
Adam Curry: Oh, that's suspicious. A non negative non
41:26
negative test that could be bad for us. Oh, we
41:29
John C Dvorak: don't. Okay. Now, I as a lab rat in my Yes. A
41:34
younger day. Your day? Yeah. I don't believe this.
41:37
Adam Curry: That they wouldn't test it. I don't believe it
41:39
either. I think that farms that the ranchers don't want to test
41:42
it like get good,
41:43
John C Dvorak: I'm sure. Reg, but so you go to the suppose it
41:46
USDA approval, go to a different lab. There are labs that can
41:52
test for this. I was in about I was thinking about this, what
41:56
was going on here? And they sent her excuses. Well, you know,
42:01
they couldn't do it. She's a reporter working for NPR. She
42:05
has a budget, they went to the lab, this my guess, okay, they
42:08
went to the lab and they say, yeah, we can test for this. It's
42:11
going to cost you $1,500 a test. Or 2500. These are not going to
42:16
be achieved test to test for a bird flew in raw milk from an
42:22
official lab that gets government money. Yeah, yeah,
42:26
yeah. They're gonna say, yeah, here's, it's gonna cost you 6500
42:29
bucks to do these tests, or more or more. And she says, I haven't
42:35
got a budget for that. And they only gave me $500. And
42:41
Adam Curry: we can help you with advertising, underwriting,
42:44
whatever you want to call it as down is down. So we don't have
42:47
the money for it. Yes.
42:48
John C Dvorak: So. So she comes up with this cock and bull story
42:52
to get out of the fact that she didn't have the cash or they
42:55
didn't have the resources to do these tests. The
42:57
Adam Curry: standard tests have 25 cycles, PCR, you know, that's
43:01
part that's 500 bucks, but you really want the 45 cycle, don't
43:04
you? Yeah, that's gonna cost you extra.
43:07
John C Dvorak: Well, beyond that, because they have to be
43:10
equipted it just, it's, it's not like testing for sodium in in
43:16
cereal. It's not like a potassium test. It's not like a
43:20
simple test. Bird flu virus. This is an inexpensive test, no
43:25
matter how you're going to look at it. So she just dropped the
43:28
ball on this and they weren't they couldn't you know, the way
43:31
you would have done it if you'd done it right. So you know, you
43:34
you would you like some free publicity for this lab. You
43:37
know, we'll give you a big write up and we'll get you a promote
43:39
you and if you just do the damn test
43:42
Adam Curry: for free, hey, it's good for your exposure. It's
43:44
good for your for your brand. It's good for your brand. It's
43:47
good for your brand if we do that,
43:48
John C Dvorak: so she doesn't get the test done and the whole
43:50
thing falls through so that so the whole reason for this
43:53
report, which began if you listened to beginning was to
43:56
grab some raw milk from does Texas that test ne'er do wells?
44:00
Yeah. and test it and she couldn't get that job done. So
44:04
this continues on with a little discussion. And then it ends
44:07
with this clip, which is the eye roller clip that just is like
44:10
oh, okay, let's just make stuff up and try to frighten the
44:14
public. If
44:15
Unknown: drinking milk with a virus is an easy way for people
44:18
to get infected banned. There are other worries like what
44:21
Chiara
44:22
John C Dvorak: like what?
44:24
Adam Curry: Like, you gotta have the rustle of the paper. She
44:27
turns the page on the script, like what Kiara did,
44:32
Unknown: and there are other worries
44:34
like what Chiara so
44:36
the worry is that influenza viruses from two different
44:39
species like a human and a bird species, in fact, one person at
44:43
the same time, a new kind of virus could be created, that
44:46
would be more contagious. People that could lead to a pandemic
44:51
animals the flu spreads to and the more people It spreads to
44:54
the greater the chances that that could happen. That's why
44:57
even though the official assessment is that the risks The
45:00
public is low. Federal health officials are urging people to
45:03
be cautious and not drink raw milk. So
45:05
Adam Curry: we're back to the wet market and Wuhan, is that
45:07
what this is basically, but they are they trying to remind us
45:11
that that actually happened somehow that you eat the
45:14
infected animal and then you get the pathogen because that's what
45:18
it sounds like they're trying to do.
45:20
John C Dvorak: They don't know what they're this is a bit
45:22
flailing. This is a terrible report. And all it is is don't
45:27
drink raw milk and nobody who drinks raw milk is going to
45:29
listen to them because they usually have a trusted dairy
45:33
that they just did this the United randomly drinking it and
45:37
you just drinking from one source usually that you can
45:39
trust and there's only a few of them and because there's too
45:44
much work to make the stuff to be honest about it. And and
45:48
they're just trying to dissuade everyone it this is a piss poor
45:52
job of FOMO and this is going to continue I don't know what
45:56
they're doing going getting nowhere with this now.
45:59
Adam Curry: No, they are not now they have a new tactic. And
46:02
that's we will witness that in the clips from CBS. But I want
46:06
to take a little detour. It's almost like an entre mom or no
46:11
what's what's in the in the middle of the meal. What do you
46:12
call that?
46:13
John C Dvorak: A prosperity Andhra Mama?
46:14
Adam Curry: Oh, that's the entre motto the entrepreneurs before
46:16
you eat? No, no, no.
46:18
John C Dvorak: That's the aperitif. Oh, oh, yes, I'm
46:20
Adam Curry: sorry, the entre Ma, a little entre MA from Bitcoin.
46:25
Bobby, who was interrogated by Ben Shapiro, fast talking spesa
46:33
six gun in the West Ben Shapiro. Then he turned it into a
46:36
campaign ad. But it was quite good in this context, because
46:40
Bitcoin Bobby, the OP is telling us how to drain the swamp of
46:45
exactly this problem. Every single agency and the the
46:50
agencies are part of the executive branch. Are they not?
46:52
Am I Yes. Okay. So this is they should be listening to the
46:56
president, the president should be the one who is in charge of
47:00
them. And he explains in this clip, it's 145, a little longer
47:05
than I'd like, but it's good. He explains what the swamp is, the
47:10
how its captured, why Trump couldn't drain it. And then what
47:14
he would do if he was president,
47:15
Unknown: what do you do about the size and scope of the
47:17
executive branch is completely unwieldy. You have enormous
47:19
numbers of people who are supposedly experts in their
47:21
particular field. How do you clean that out?
47:23
You do one agency at a time and I've sued almost all these
47:27
agencies. I've sued NIH, CDC, FDA, EPA, the USDA multiple
47:33
times, you know, it didn't start out corrupted. It started out
47:37
idealistic. I started out models for the rest of the world, I
47:41
started out serving the public interest. And they didn't always
47:44
do that perfectly, because bureaucracies make mistakes. But
47:47
you can restore those cultures, you stop the profits, the
47:51
hearings, FDA gets almost 50% of its budget from the
47:54
pharmaceutical companies. Of course, that's not going to work
47:56
and I hate scientists shouldn't be able to collect royalties, we
48:00
have to stop the revolving doors and put corporate capture on
48:03
steroids. In these agencies, there are individuals at high
48:07
levels who have corrupted them. And I'm not just talking about
48:10
the agencies, but also the CIA. I had dinner with Mike Pompeo
48:14
about four months ago. And he said to me, my one biggest
48:18
regret life is that I didn't clean up the CIA when I had a
48:21
chance I was running it and he's at erschien entire upper echelon
48:25
of that agency are made up of individuals who do not believe
48:29
in the democratic institutions of the United States of America,
48:32
the upper echelons are controlled by the military
48:36
industrial complex and people who would do its bidding. When
48:39
we sued Monsanto. We got discovery documents that showed
48:42
that the head of the pesticide division at EPA for over a
48:47
decade was taking his orders from the highest officials of
48:51
Monsanto to make sure no study got done that would you look at
48:55
the links between glyphosate and cancer, I can tell you who those
48:59
individuals are at CDC collied Boyle, Frank De Stefano, I know
49:03
the names because I've dealt with them. I know who has to be
49:06
moved. President Trump wanted to do this, President Trump came
49:10
and say I'm going to drain the swamp, but he didn't know how to
49:13
do it. You have individuals who are capable of committing a
49:16
civil disobedience that will turn off the lights somewhere
49:20
that will stop the sewage treatment plant will flood the
49:23
streets, and that will embarrass the president. So they tiptoe
49:26
around these agencies, and they never do anything about it
49:28
because they don't know how to do it, but I know how I know
49:32
exactly what to do.
49:35
Adam Curry: So there it is. He spells it out very, very clearly
49:38
and that mainly the you know, these these, they're terrorists,
49:43
these these agency people because they'll turn out the
49:46
lights, they'll let raw sewage seep in the streets of Lebanon.
49:50
And they will they will so now we come to CBS CIA broadcasting
49:55
systems and they have yes they have raw milk on the radar but
49:59
really This is going to somewhere else which I have
50:02
uncovered. And we shall listen to a couple of these clips with
50:05
America's other favorite doctor also not a veterinarian. Dr.
50:10
Celine gounder. Wait, isn't she the woman who's whose husband
50:13
died from the VAX?
50:16
Unknown: I think she has. Yes. Yeah. So yeah, so
50:19
Adam Curry: she should know better. But
50:20
Unknown: okay, as bird flu spreads among cows in the US,
50:23
the CDC is planning to publicly post that on the second.
50:27
John C Dvorak: They start off with that premise. Oh, yeah.
50:30
There is not a cow in the US that has bird flu, or
50:34
Adam Curry: bird flu. For bird flu. Which is your axolotls.
50:39
Interesting bird flu.
50:41
John C Dvorak: Bird flu. By
50:42
Adam Curry: the way, it was a moose boosh is what I was
50:44
thinking of before the meal.
50:46
John C Dvorak: Oh, the amuse bush. Yes.
50:48
Adam Curry: amused. Yeah,
50:49
John C Dvorak: that's a little. That is a tie for people out
50:52
there. Here's us.
50:53
Adam Curry: Here's how it goes. Here's how it goes. Chef has
50:56
prepared something special for you.
50:59
John C Dvorak: It's using a spoon with a gabagool line. And
51:03
they say here and explain what it is. The goal is
51:08
Adam Curry: a spoon with a gob of goo and an animal like a nut
51:12
like a blanket. Like
51:15
John C Dvorak: Like, like a pistachio. On top of the gob of
51:18
goo.
51:21
Adam Curry: mousse goo. We have an image and
51:23
John C Dvorak: we bring it out. And they talk about I was at
51:26
this dinner at Charlie Trotter's once where who's Charlie
51:29
Trotter? Charlie Trotter is one of the greatest chefs the United
51:33
States ever saw. But he died recently. To your other home
51:36
sorry, but he I went to his you know, I met the guy before
51:40
because he was on the West Coast doing some something I was at.
51:43
But he I went to I always wanted to go to his restaurant was one
51:47
of the best was the top restaurant Chicago at the time.
51:49
So I go out there. I'm having dinner with my publisher and
51:53
we're talking trying to talk about business. And his Joker
51:56
just keeps coming over. He says Oh, Mr. Trotter would like you.
51:59
Oh, Mr. Trotter, Mr. Trotter, and by the third time he said,
52:02
you know we don't give a shit about Mr. Trotter go back and
52:06
let us talk.
52:09
Adam Curry: It's also not an order of net net. That's
52:12
something different. By the way, Tina show borders are outside of
52:16
the meal. Tina, this French Tina showed me something on Instagram
52:19
one of our friends she posted we have Harry Corvair our first
52:23
crop is called green beans. They're all right back to the
52:31
bird flow.
52:32
Unknown: As bird flu spreads among cows in the US.
52:36
Adam Curry: The premise here right is just it's so misleading
52:39
CDC is
52:40
John C Dvorak: premise is totally misleading yet that is a
52:43
right from the get go. This is a false report. Fake
52:46
Adam Curry: news is fake news.
52:47
John C Dvorak: It's fake news, fake news.
52:48
Adam Curry: I talked to ranchers ranchers. Today business is no
52:50
bird flu.
52:51
Unknown: It's the CDC is planning to publicly post data
52:54
on the specific influenza virus found in wastewater. Bird flu is
52:58
a sub type of influenza A
53:01
Adam Curry: Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Bird flu is a
53:04
subtype of influenza A sounds like something I could catch.
53:09
Unknown: It's been reported in dozens of towns across nine
53:12
states. There's also been at least two human cases, agencies,
53:16
it has identified the virus at multiple wastewater sites. You
53:20
may remember wastewater testing played a crucial role in
53:23
detecting COVID-19 during the pandemic. Yeah,
53:26
Adam Curry: let's No, no, it did not. This is a lie. There's a
53:29
lot there was it was sketchy at best. Everybody knew it. The
53:35
company that was doing the wastewater testing went out of
53:38
business. Somehow Google got some of this business. We have
53:41
wastewater aficionados in our producing audience. Yes, we do
53:46
quite a few. And you know, and they're all it's all using PCR
53:50
and you can do whatever you want. Spin it up. Oh, there's
53:53
aids in the water. Oh, there's there's cholera. Oh, what? It's
53:57
all there. The world the ghosts of everything.
54:00
John C Dvorak: So we have two to three lies already on the CBS
54:04
report right from the get go. We haven't even gotten to the juice
54:06
yet. Dr.
54:07
Unknown: Celine gounder, CBS News, medical contributor and
54:10
editor at large for public health at K FF joins me now. So
54:14
Dr. What does it mean that they're doing this kind of
54:17
testing is are they being extra careful? Because they learned
54:20
something from COVID about early detection? Or is there something
54:23
particular going on here? Well, so
54:25
this is a new tool that we have to help monitor and no,
54:28
Adam Curry: I thought it was in use during COVID. You can't even
54:31
get your own story straight. Now. It's a new tool. It's not
54:34
an accurate two. By the way, we predicted they would do this we
54:37
would predict they will be right down to the house. And they'll
54:41
be like, okay, someone's pooping bird flew in there. Lock them up
54:44
like man like Man,
54:45
Unknown: this is a new tool that we have to help monitor
54:48
infectious disease outbreaks. It's not the only tool and there
54:51
are some limitations here. Oh, yeah. COVID was really just an
54:54
infection of people, at least in the United States. With the bird
54:57
flu as the name implies, it's not Not just humans, right? So
55:01
you have birds who are infected
55:06
John C Dvorak: not just humans, not just humans. What? Yeah, you
55:11
know, this is I believe this is John Dickerson does giving this
55:14
report by by his voice, and I'm not sure he should be ashamed of
55:17
himself. He's one of the top producer, writer reporters at
55:22
CBS. But you
55:23
Adam Curry: have to understand fake news makes all the money
55:25
real news makes no money. Case in point this podcast
55:29
Unknown: COVID was really just an infection of people, at least
55:31
in the United States. With the bird flu as the name implies,
55:35
it's not just humans, right? So you have birds who are infected
55:38
cows were infected. And so you have to look at wastewater is
55:41
really telling you because the waste could be coming from
55:44
domesticated animals, wild animals, milk being dumped into
55:48
the wastewater, humans and rural areas, you have septic systems,
55:53
so it may not even be picking up some of the waste there. Okay.
55:57
Adam Curry: Oh, wow. Okay, so
55:59
John C Dvorak: you have a septic system and it's not going into
56:01
the wastewater. How about that? Yeah, we need to test rural
56:05
areas. We need Hicks.
56:07
Adam Curry: I need to, I need to stick my dipstick into your
56:11
septic tank. Be my guest. Okay, we continue.
56:15
Unknown: So now 70 I understand dairy farm workers are being
56:18
monitored mean, they're being monitored just to see if
56:21
something happens or what's the status of those? Yeah,
56:25
Adam Curry: okay. 70 or so somewhere. Some rancher went,
56:29
okay. All right. So you can stick the stick the the cotton
56:34
swab, and let's see if we got bird flu.
56:37
Unknown: So these are people who've been exposed right to
56:39
expose
56:40
Adam Curry: right exposed.
56:42
John C Dvorak: So as they get exposed,
56:43
Adam Curry: oh, wait for
56:44
Unknown: these are people who've been exposed right to right
56:47
animals that have had h h five and one infection. And so then
56:51
the question is, have they or are they developing symptoms?
56:54
Some of the common symptoms we know of are conjunctivitis. This
56:57
pinkeye you
56:58
John C Dvorak: gotta stop it again.
56:59
Adam Curry: Here it is. The symptoms.
57:01
John C Dvorak: Yeah. conjunctivitis. pinkeye. He
57:03
says, they these are animals cows that have been infected.
57:09
Yes. Infected. What evidence? Do we have that one cow even one
57:14
cow has been infected?
57:16
Adam Curry: Are you questioning the CBS the Tiffany networks,
57:19
news? dissemination? I
57:21
John C Dvorak: just want to know what what cow or herd has been
57:25
infected. They have some some some traces of bird flu in the
57:29
middle of milk. Yes. But that doesn't mean that cows infected
57:32
doesn't mean anything.
57:33
Adam Curry: No, and that ranchers won't even let them
57:35
onto their property. So I don't blame them. I
57:37
John C Dvorak: think they should shoot them. Amen.
57:39
Unknown: animals that have had H h5 and one infection. And so
57:43
then the question is, have they or are they developing symptoms?
57:47
Some of the common symptoms we know of are conjunctivitis, this
57:49
pinkeye Oh,
57:51
Adam Curry: no. pinkeye Wow, you can get pinkeye from wiping
57:56
wrong and not washing your hands. I mean, come on,
57:59
Unknown: which was in the Texas case that was recently reported.
58:02
We Oh, we oh,
58:03
Adam Curry: do due to breaking news. We have a rancher with
58:06
pinkeye. A rancher with pinkeye Oh, no, not a rancher with
58:10
pinkeye. That is possibly any ranch who doesn't get his foot
58:14
half trampled? Or, you know, there's it's very dangerous
58:18
work, but oh pinkeye? Oh, yes. Stop the presses, which was
58:21
Unknown: in the Texas case that was recently reported. We are
58:24
hearing many reports of other dairy farm workers with similar
58:28
symptoms haven't all been tested. So we are waiting for a
58:31
bit more information on some of those cases as well. And I'd
58:34
Adam Curry: love to know about the tests because I'm pretty
58:36
sure the test is another PCR bullcrap thing. PCR should not
58:40
be used to diagnose any pathogen ever for any reason, according
58:44
to the inventor, Carrie Mullins of the PCR test,
58:48
Unknown: and how would they get it? If
58:50
Adam Curry: Oh, how do you get it? How are you ready? Jeff,
58:53
this
58:53
Unknown: is a great question on this? No, it's a great question.
58:55
John C Dvorak: It's a great question. And how would they get
58:57
it if they test? Well, this is a
59:00
Unknown: great question. And this is why we need more data.
59:02
You know, wastewater is not the answer all the kinds of
59:05
questions we have and we need more data. Jim, some of what
59:07
needs to be done is testing of the farm workers figuring out
59:12
how they were exposed to was it through handling of milk or
59:16
milking equipment? Is it maybe irresolution or socialization of
59:20
the milk or virus into the air? So you're getting into your eyes
59:23
that way? Is it breathing it in? We don't entirely know for sure
59:27
which of those Oh, no, it could be all of them. No,
59:29
Adam Curry: we know nothing. But now Now they're gonna take a
59:33
little sidestep back to your let's not drink raw milk.
59:37
Because it's, I mean, it is so bad. They have a descriptor for
59:42
it, which is just fascinating. Raw milk again. You probably
59:46
still regularly drink raw milk. We're all milk Don't you think
59:48
you're a raw milk drinker? Or going on regular basis? Do you
59:52
get it from then on our favorite dairy
59:55
John C Dvorak: in Washington State? That is very nuts. Oh,
59:59
guys. Run by cracked by there's also rel Raj is a raw milk
1:00:04
dairy. He's a crackpot, believe me. He's like a clean freak.
1:00:09
It's just like unbelievable. There is a raw milk dairy that
1:00:14
in California which actually did it I can't remember the name of
1:00:17
them. I haven't every so often. It's better tasting than the
1:00:21
Washington stuff is really good isn't probably like well now you
1:00:23
have now you're
1:00:24
Adam Curry: not telling me that you transport this across state
1:00:27
lines, do you? Yeah. Oh, no. No Mimi could get arrested if she
1:00:32
does that.
1:00:33
John C Dvorak: No, it's not a bug.
1:00:36
Adam Curry: So it's in by the way, they
1:00:38
John C Dvorak: closed the inspection stations.
1:00:41
Adam Curry: Now they did. I
1:00:43
John C Dvorak: guess she's always complaining about you
1:00:45
know, really
1:00:46
Adam Curry: wants to be inspected.
1:00:49
John C Dvorak: Okay, yeah, of course. She's a woman. Oh, she
1:00:53
Adam Curry: listens to the show. Careful. Alright, let's hear how
1:00:56
bad this raw which I love as I said, what the meat mafia boys
1:01:00
brought to my house. Nice big jug of it was it was like I'm
1:01:04
like, Oh my god. This is like eggnog. It's so good. So tasty.
1:01:09
And does
1:01:09
Unknown: it matter whether it's pre or post pasteurized? Yes.
1:01:14
So pasteurized milk.
1:01:16
Adam Curry: Because it's funny for some reason.
1:01:19
John C Dvorak: Why is that funny?
1:01:20
Adam Curry: I don't know John. This because the word
1:01:23
pasteurized it tickled her ears.
1:01:26
Unknown: So pasteurized milk really does a very good job of
1:01:29
killing bacteria and viruses. This is why Louis Pasteur back
1:01:33
in the 1800s came up with pasteurization things back then.
1:01:36
Adam Curry: That's a lie. I looked it up Louis Pasteur came
1:01:41
up with pasteurization to pasteurize wine as far as I can
1:01:44
find out you might know more about that than I do.
1:01:47
John C Dvorak: Who I never thought about looking this into
1:01:49
this. Yeah, he was I did. I was doing some research and one of
1:01:52
our producers sent me a note saying Marie Antoinette never
1:01:56
said Let them eat bread cake. Alright, let them eat cake. She
1:02:00
said what she never said it. It was it was it was it was the it
1:02:03
was the mainstream media of the time. That is attributed to her
1:02:08
when it when it can be documented that was said by
1:02:11
another famous woman in France. When Marie Antoinette was nine
1:02:16
years old, they can document it. And it was never Marie
1:02:20
Antoinette. She was falsely accused of by the mainstream
1:02:24
media and their head got chopped off. Thank you to meet them. 5am
1:02:28
So
1:02:28
Adam Curry: the wait a minute, do you? Oh, no.
1:02:32
John C Dvorak: I'll get this. I'll get this Lincoln's being
1:02:34
put in the show notes. Good story.
1:02:40
Adam Curry: This, this is troubling to me. So so the M
1:02:44
five M lied about her. Yeah, right. And then and her head is
1:02:48
gone.
1:02:48
John C Dvorak: They chopped her. That's what you were doing.
1:02:51
Lining up the clip via second took a little longer than
1:02:54
normal. So is Kuba.
1:02:56
Adam Curry: Libra also not true. You know what the story behind
1:02:58
Koopa Libra is?
1:03:00
John C Dvorak: I forgot what them so the Libra
1:03:02
Adam Curry: is the glass that they put the ice cream in.
1:03:06
There. It's that qu that coupe that that nice little rounded
1:03:09
glass. Yeah, supposedly, that was exactly Marie Antoinette's
1:03:14
breast size.
1:03:17
John C Dvorak: Could be right, sure. That's bogus too. I
1:03:19
Adam Curry: could be wrong. I could be wrong. All right back
1:03:21
to a descriptor for raw milk. Remember, Louis Pasteur did not
1:03:26
invent this to pasteurized milk because those people were
1:03:28
drinking raw milk and they loved it bacteria
1:03:31
Unknown: and viruses This is why Louis Pasteur back in the 1800s
1:03:34
came up with pasteurization because back then, people would
1:03:37
get sick raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. It's heavily
1:03:46
Adam Curry: raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. You're
1:03:49
drinking natural
1:03:52
John C Dvorak: exudation from a mammal milk. Women deliver to I
1:03:57
might add the sewage is raw sewage to our sewage. Oh, that's
1:04:03
that's a fabulous report. It's not
1:04:05
Unknown: done. Raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. It's
1:04:08
heavily fecal contaminated. Think about you know where the
1:04:12
cows you know, they're their faces, aren't you?
1:04:14
Adam Curry: Well, hold on a second. Now she thinks that the
1:04:17
cows poop out of their utters or does she think the milk comes
1:04:20
out of the anus? What is she saying to me here? Think she
1:04:23
says
1:04:24
John C Dvorak: would she say one of the to think about whereas it
1:04:26
says if Kevin Tammany was fecal material. Yes. Well,
1:04:30
Adam Curry: the otters are nowhere near the fecal material.
1:04:34
Saline Dr. Celine? Is she confused with the what is she
1:04:39
confused by this is very odd
1:04:41
John C Dvorak: chicken and egg and egg is invented and poops
1:04:44
and the same poop.
1:04:46
Adam Curry: What does that the Klava the color the service
1:04:51
Cousteau clever
1:04:52
Unknown: people would get sick raw milk. Think of it as raw
1:04:55
sewage. It's have cloak
1:04:57
Adam Curry: clout. cloaca cloaca chlobo aka cloaca Thank you
1:05:02
trolls are on point today alright let's go heavily
1:05:05
Unknown: vehicle contaminated think about you know where the
1:05:08
cows you know their their feces are you know this is not clean
1:05:10
you really want to be drinking pasteurized
1:05:13
Adam Curry: not clean the others are super clean
1:05:18
Unknown: and I'm gonna now I'm really not going near any
1:05:22
pasteurized unpasteurized milk
1:05:23
Adam Curry: so he's so grossed out and so ignorant that he's
1:05:27
like oh man, oh those otters are dirty they're filled with poop.
1:05:33
Wow, this is an undisputed clip
1:05:35
John C Dvorak: for the day for the bay. No, this
1:05:37
Adam Curry: clip of the day is for the clip custodian. God for
1:05:43
me, yeah, well, the clip custodians on him. This
1:05:45
John C Dvorak: is CBS CBS
1:05:47
Unknown: last one. How concerned should the regular person
1:05:50
watching here who isn't hasn't been on the farm recently.
1:05:54
Adam Curry: If you haven't been on a farm recently go out, go to
1:05:57
a farm shake your ranchers hand learn about where the other is.
1:06:02
Unknown: So if you're not having direct contact with poultry or
1:06:06
dairy cattle, those are the two types of animals that have been
1:06:08
infected in the United States. If you're not drinking
1:06:11
unpasteurized milk or raw milk, your risk as a member of the
1:06:15
general public is pretty low. Right? Now. What we're pretty
1:06:18
low,
1:06:18
John C Dvorak: wait a minute, this is not zero. It's just
1:06:22
pretty low, pretty low. No, that's
1:06:24
Adam Curry: a percentage your favorite, your favorite
1:06:26
percentage is pretty low. It's you know, it's low, pretty low.
1:06:29
Right
1:06:29
Unknown: now, what we're concerned about is if this
1:06:31
continues to replicate and mutate and evolve, whether it's
1:06:37
in mammals or humans, like dairy farm workers, that's when
1:06:41
there's a risk of evolving and adapting to humans and Person to
1:06:45
Person spread back to
1:06:46
Adam Curry: the wet market jumps.
1:06:49
John C Dvorak: We've all which doesn't make sense now, but a
1:06:51
deep and
1:06:51
Adam Curry: then he says, Oh, it jumps it jumped. This is the wet
1:06:54
market story that were that we were supposed to keep believing.
1:06:57
But Fauci covered it up wrong. And so we figured it out and
1:07:00
like, lab, okay, but no wet mark. wet market is we're back
1:07:05
to wet markets. Now. That's when
1:07:07
Unknown: there's a risk of evolving and adapting to humans
1:07:10
and Person to Person spread, and it jumps. And that's and that's
1:07:13
what, that's what can cause a pandemic. So it may not be
1:07:16
today,
1:07:16
Adam Curry: oh pangolin. But
1:07:18
Unknown: say within the next 10 years, if we allow this kind of
1:07:20
thing to keep going. That's what we're worried about. And
1:07:22
by that it's too late. If you haven't learned how to thank you
1:07:25
so much for being here. I've
1:07:26
Adam Curry: learned how to how to I don't know if you haven't
1:07:29
learned how to just learn how to
1:07:31
John C Dvorak: if you haven't learned how to and then he
1:07:33
stopped Yes.
1:07:34
Adam Curry: Yes. How to Lie, how to live for your for living. So
1:07:37
a couple of articles I have here first of all, here's the
1:07:41
headline. There's bird flu in US dairy cows to produce raw milk
1:07:46
drinkers aren't deterred. Since March 25, when the bird flu
1:07:50
virus was confirmed in US cattle that's lactating mammals. For
1:07:55
the first time, weekly sales of raw cow's milk have ticked up
1:07:59
21% Oh,
1:08:01
John C Dvorak: no. Get it while you can. According to Nielsen
1:08:06
IQ. That could be the reason that Mimi says she went to the
1:08:10
other day when the story started to break. She went to sunny
1:08:13
farms, which is the store that carries with you can go to the
1:08:17
dairy and just buy it there. But you can buy it from the store.
1:08:20
It was all gone. All the raw milk was sold out.
1:08:23
Adam Curry: You know why? Because people like oh, they're
1:08:24
coming for our raw milk. Let's go buy it. We want it we want as
1:08:27
much as we can get because we're healthy human beings. We're
1:08:32
healthy human beings. And while it seems like they all want us
1:08:36
dead, they don't it's just all CAPTCHA I'm sure this whole
1:08:40
report was sponsored by, you know, by the nuts app industry.
1:08:44
Anyway, there is that SAP is the big moneymaker. There is
1:08:47
something else happening here. And it is a comes under the
1:08:54
recently announced climate smart commodities program. The USDA,
1:09:01
same people, same people here who are saying mom can't have
1:09:05
your raw milk have appropriated $3.1 billion to 145 new private
1:09:14
climate smart projects ranging from carbon sequestration to
1:09:20
climate smart meat. Are you following me here? This is this
1:09:26
is what they're doing. And so these ranchers these farmers,
1:09:31
there's a whole dashboard by state if you want by state of
1:09:36
projects, each one is yours 3 million here 4 million their
1:09:41
climate smart scaling mechanisms for Regenerative farming. You
1:09:48
want money you want money? You just go to this dashboard here.
1:09:52
Let's see what what can I get in Texas? I can get farmers guiding
1:09:58
farmers tour Climate Smart Agriculture. Oh, this is good.
1:10:04
This is for black and indigenous producers, huh? A lot of
1:10:09
universities grabbing this money here 5 million for Florida a&m
1:10:13
For National Black food and Justice Alliance. Are you
1:10:16
kidding me now? Climate Resilience for the farm and
1:10:21
market development economically viable low carbon and climate
1:10:25
smart practices for soybean farming. This is part of the
1:10:29
climate, the global climate change scam. And they're buying
1:10:34
everybody off. And what eventually happens is the small
1:10:38
producers, the small producers have no chance that just left
1:10:43
with no chance. They're they're taken down into complete
1:10:47
oblivion. There's no market access for people who want these
1:10:52
products. And so now we have to go out and stand guard at Cole's
1:10:56
farm. So in case the the FDA, USDA and CDC want to come and
1:11:00
test him and his cows. And then I got this note from Captain
1:11:07
Ben. He says, you know, you've been doing a great job
1:11:10
enlightening us about what's going on in the beef and dairy
1:11:12
industry. I see some very interesting coincidences in the
1:11:15
Gulf of Mexico commercial reef fishery that are similar to the
1:11:20
cattle industry. So he's talking reef fish include grouper,
1:11:23
snapper, tile, fish, etc. In the last 25 years, the National
1:11:27
Marine Fishery Service has become more and more
1:11:29
restrictive. And the participation of regulation of
1:11:32
the Fisheries says My theory is the same thing. They're
1:11:35
collapsing the reef fishery industry, so the small time
1:11:39
players will just get out, and only a few large corporations
1:11:43
own and control the whole thing. Yeah, he says that if you look
1:11:48
at the reality show, ice cold catch. He says you'll see a
1:11:53
large portion of the North Atlantic cod is owned and caught
1:11:56
by two large long line boats that are owned by corporations.
1:11:59
On the other hand, fellow commercial fishermen say Oh,
1:12:03
this is the regulations are being imposed so that it'll all
1:12:06
be imported. This is the same thing, industry, they control so
1:12:12
much with the captured regulatory agencies. And me, you
1:12:19
work at the seat, you work at a USDA or the FDA, and then you're
1:12:22
done working there, you've done your job, you've helped out the
1:12:25
nut SAP industry, you've helped out the salmon farms, and then
1:12:30
you leave and then you go take a million dollar job over there.
1:12:33
This is what needs to stop. And it's all under the climate
1:12:39
change, climate change. And that's where we're at, like
1:12:45
climate change is the bane of our existence. Is even Jordan
1:12:50
Peterson we don't play enough Jordan Peterson mainly because
1:12:53
the jackets hurt my eyes. Stop with the jackets Jordan there
1:12:57
was going on with those jackets jackets are ridiculous. They're
1:13:01
not a statement. They're creepy. It's almost as creepy as King
1:13:05
Charles is portrait
1:13:06
John C Dvorak: who got him into doing that because it's like it
1:13:08
was a couple of ex basketball players that were this kind of
1:13:14
outfit. You
1:13:15
Adam Curry: know, Bill Cosby had sweaters remember that? You
1:13:19
always had sweaters. It was actually a Dutch lady who made
1:13:22
those sweaters for him. They were Elaine. He was oh look at
1:13:26
my sweaters. And what happened to you? Bill Cosby look at where
1:13:29
the sweaters Got you.
1:13:32
John C Dvorak: Got nothing to do with it? No, it
1:13:33
Adam Curry: has nothing to do with it. I like it. I like it.
1:13:38
So now Jordan Peterson, of course says that this is a huge
1:13:42
scam. And here's a little clip of him talking about it. This is
1:13:46
particularly about the carbon dioxide, not carbon, not stuff
1:13:51
that comes out. By the way. stuff that comes out of the
1:13:54
exhaust of your car is carbon monoxide. Am I correct? A
1:13:58
John C Dvorak: lot of carbon dioxide comes out. Well, we
1:14:00
Unknown: need more. We're essentially in a carbon. I'm
1:14:03
sorry.
1:14:04
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna say a carbon monoxide does come out of
1:14:06
the tailpipe. Nitrous, various nitrogen, nitrogen oxides. Those
1:14:11
are taken up by the catalytic catalytic converter.
1:14:14
Adam Curry: Exactly. No, no, no, no, we need more carbon dioxide
1:14:19
twice as much as we have today. We're
1:14:21
Unknown: essentially in a carbon dioxide drought by historical
1:14:25
standards. So if you look at the proportion of carbon dioxide in
1:14:28
the atmosphere over the last number of hundreds of millions
1:14:32
of years, like a pretty whopping timeframe, we're at a very, very
1:14:36
low level. We dropped to about 350 parts per million by say
1:14:42
1850, something like that plants start to die at 250. Right,
1:14:48
because they need carbon dioxide. So we were almost at
1:14:52
the point where the plants were going to start to die. That's
1:14:54
how low the carbon dioxide levels are now they have been
1:14:57
increasing. Why? Well some of that Probably manmade, you know,
1:15:01
it's not it's not exactly settled, but we could give the
1:15:05
devil his due and say some of that's manmade. Okay, so now
1:15:09
we're up to something in the low, four hundreds. And that's
1:15:15
been increasing, and perhaps because of industrial output. So
1:15:19
what's been the major consequence? The major
1:15:22
consequences that the planet is 20% greener than it was in the
1:15:27
year 2,020%. This is NASA Data. No one disputes this, by the
1:15:33
way, the satellite imagery is absolutely clear. 20% greener,
1:15:38
an area the size of the continental US as green since
1:15:43
the year 2000. So the whole planet is 20% greener, that's
1:15:48
the big effect crops yield, crop yield has gone up 13% Right.
1:15:54
Okay. Where's the planet getting greener? Because you heard
1:15:57
climate, global warming, the deserts are going to grow well,
1:16:01
then it wasn't global warming, because that turned out to be a
1:16:03
scam. Then it was climate change. The deserts are going to
1:16:06
grow. It's like no, the deserts are shrinking. The deserts are
1:16:09
shrinking because the planet is greening because there's more
1:16:12
carbon dioxide. Now
1:16:14
Adam Curry: I liked what he said here because it comes right back
1:16:17
around to the agencies. If you have a deficiency of carbon
1:16:22
dioxide Of course we need Monsanto and glyphosate and all
1:16:27
these things to improve your crop yield. We can't have that
1:16:30
happening naturally buy more carbon dioxide in the
1:16:33
atmosphere. No, that means we start to lose money. This is the
1:16:38
scam it's a scam.
1:16:41
John C Dvorak: What Yeah, yeah, start to lose money
1:16:44
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's what it's all about. Who cares if it
1:16:48
turns the frogs gay? And with that I'd like to thank you for
1:16:52
your courage say in the morning to the man who put the sea in
1:16:54
the code for comrades say hello to my friend on the other end
1:16:57
the One Only Mr. John
1:17:02
John C Dvorak: well in the morning to you Mr. Abrupt
1:17:06
through the millennial shift, same boots on the ground feet
1:17:09
near subs in the water. It all the dames knights out there in
1:17:12
the
1:17:12
Adam Curry: morning to the trolls and the troll room. I am
1:17:14
getting ready to count you they scurried off. Yeah, I'm keeping
1:17:22
us on the schedule man. It's 117 We're into the show it's time
1:17:26
you know it's time for it was a natural break a natural break as
1:17:29
well. Is an unnatural breaking. Was it a wiry natural break? I
1:17:33
think it was perfect. Perfect. Perfect Natural break. Kind of
1:17:38
the trolls we have 18 120 Trolls with us today that is down from
1:17:42
our last Thursday show we had 1943 So we've lost some along
1:17:46
the way no doubt because they drank raw milk and are now
1:17:50
dying. They have pink dead or dead dead we got dead trolls if
1:17:55
you want to be a troll, and the trolls have actually been quite
1:17:58
good today. They've they've been posting stuff in French and you
1:18:02
know laughing along and you know everyone agrees on this stuff.
1:18:06
Man, you can't get them to agree on Israel and the Jews running
1:18:09
the world but you comes to Melkite everyone's in agreement.
1:18:12
That's beautiful. If you want to be a troll go to troll room.io
1:18:16
You can listen to our show live on Thursdays and on Sundays we
1:18:20
do it we do it live. Which by the way is probably the biggest
1:18:23
problem with podcast today. Is most of these podcasts are not
1:18:27
done live people take all the soul out of them by recording
1:18:31
them and taking out all the crap o's and memes and speeding it up
1:18:36
a little and chopping out silences because you owe people
1:18:40
got no time. No, we are just pure and raw. We're like we are
1:18:44
the raw milk of the raw milk of podcasts. That's exactly what we
1:18:48
are the raw milk of podcasts and it's good for you know, pink, I
1:18:52
hear Spotify you listen to Spotify that'll give you pinkeye
1:18:57
so you go to troll room.io or you use a modern podcast app
1:19:00
this is another thing where we are forging the future making
1:19:03
sure that if you can't do you think that you by the way, you
1:19:07
see that Spotify got a notice from from the whole Music
1:19:11
Association industries saying sorry, what Wait, Spotify got a
1:19:16
notice from the Okay, from the from the from all the associate
1:19:20
the copyright holding associations of music saying
1:19:24
check this up. BJU are hosting music that is not licensed in
1:19:30
podcasts. So they didn't say which ones, but they say you
1:19:36
have to remove them immediately. So now Spotify is going to go
1:19:39
and start I guess with AI seeing if there's any music in your
1:19:43
podcast, even if you've licensed it, even if it's value for value
1:19:47
music, and they're gonna start dropping you, your podcasts will
1:19:51
be dropped. It's gone by who? By Spotify, they'll kick it off
1:19:54
their platform because they're gonna get to
1:19:57
John C Dvorak: be on their platform anyway.
1:19:58
Adam Curry: Well, we're not on it, but You know people are
1:20:01
stupid. They're like they don't listen to the Godfather I say
1:20:04
you don't want to be on Spotify you know Rogan got his first 300
1:20:08
million from Spotify by not being on Spotify. They said well
1:20:13
come on man. We'll pay you for it and then he went on Spotify.
1:20:16
Anyway, podcast apps.com Get a modern podcast that one that
1:20:20
won't be the platform because the back end is podcast
1:20:23
index.org And that's being distributed so even even if we
1:20:27
go away no one will be able to take it away ever. We're fed a
1:20:30
fine it fed a fine another thing we don't do is we don't take
1:20:35
native ads or any kind of you know, any commercials from any
1:20:40
creepy corporations at all. None never done it because that's
1:20:44
another thing. Boy you're talking to get you're going
1:20:46
against the grain here, man. You're talking about a
1:20:49
competitor man, you can't do that Nana saw censorship
1:20:53
advertising is censorship. So we
1:20:56
John C Dvorak: Oh, whoa. That's a new phrase. And I like it. Oh,
1:21:00
advertising is censorship.
1:21:03
Adam Curry: You've never heard me say that. Have I not done no.
1:21:05
Yeah, I
1:21:05
John C Dvorak: don't remember you saying and I would have
1:21:07
picked it up because it would go right in the newsletter. Okay.
1:21:11
Adam Curry: And on hoodies over at no agenda shop.com I'm
1:21:14
telling you boys gotta get on the stick here. We need to
1:21:17
promote the more no agenda shop.com We got hoodies we got t
1:21:20
shirts. We got you got hats. We got to koozies all kinds of
1:21:25
groovy stuff. No agenda shop.com No. Instead we have adopted for
1:21:31
16 years now I think yeah, about 16 years maybe a little more the
1:21:34
value for value more we probably didn't start calling it value
1:21:37
for value until 14 years ago. And then that just stuck and
1:21:43
it's amazing how this concept is spreading far and wide actually
1:21:47
have an M five M segment for after after we talk about some
1:21:51
of our executive and Associate Executive producers about how
1:21:53
they are losing out how it is crumbling, how it is all falling
1:21:57
apart? No. We use value for value. The whole world is
1:22:00
talking about value for value case in point. This is the alpha
1:22:04
alga alga hernia podcast show off our Hohner podcast show.
1:22:11
House Deutschland listen carefully
1:22:14

Sky village code
1:22:37
Adam Curry: I really Kate voluntarily value for value you
1:22:41
heard it even the Germans are in on it.
1:22:46
John C Dvorak: There's no German translation for the for the
1:22:49
phrase no man.
1:22:51
Adam Curry: It's like no value for value. No. No manly is
1:22:56
John C Dvorak: it this is like an original phrase. It only has
1:22:59
to be spoken in English value
1:23:00
Adam Curry: for value Uber Allah's man. That's how we roll.
1:23:05
So one enormous piece of value for value. It's time talent and
1:23:09
treasure and this whole show was built up of producers who
1:23:12
contribute to the show clip custodian clip collector Dave
1:23:17
Ackerman all these people who are helping us on that angle,
1:23:21
but then we have void zero with technology keeping us running
1:23:24
and we got the the Art Generator, we've got the meetup
1:23:29
servers, we've got the server Tim code monkey people doing all
1:23:32
of this that's all valuable and what our artists do as valuable
1:23:36
as well. They go to knowledge and art generator.com They
1:23:40
upload art for us to choose from. So we have fresh, funky,
1:23:43
fresh, beautiful art. Every single show you see it pop up it
1:23:47
looks great when we post the bar it looks great in newsletters
1:23:50
and also looks great over there and no agenda shop.com Now we're
1:23:54
traditionalists. We'd like to do some on special days, like
1:23:56
Mother's Day, we'd like to have a Mother's Day presentation. And
1:24:03
there were several to choose from but networks, networks
1:24:06
nailed it with no agenda movie theater. And as I looked at
1:24:11
this, this aren't even because I talked about the movie the
1:24:14
unsung hero, which is a great Mother's Day movie. Hope you all
1:24:16
took your mom to go see it. As I looked. It He even put in the
1:24:21
tasty pretzels that I had at the movie theater, popcorn pretzels.
1:24:26
There's two people now if we don't think it's a guy in his
1:24:31
mom, but probably a guy in his bride who has a mom, which is
1:24:35
also
1:24:35
John C Dvorak: fair game, obviously unless it's a
1:24:37
perverted picture. Well, it's
1:24:39
Adam Curry: networks you never know he is one of those great
1:24:41
Dutch grandmasters so we got to be careful but we appreciate
1:24:46
what networks did and we want to I just logged into the Art
1:24:50
Generator All right. See the artists do this on the fly live
1:24:54
while we're doing the show so we can choose it right after we're
1:24:56
done. already. See some funny stuff for for the show. Now.
1:25:00
comics
1:25:00
John C Dvorak: should mention by the way, the one next to it mom
1:25:03
on the burning sun with the that was it was available to us.
1:25:07
Adam Curry: What do you mean? Yes, we discussed that the solar
1:25:10
flare mama.
1:25:12
John C Dvorak: I don't remember it. Yeah, yeah. I
1:25:14
Adam Curry: said how about that one? And you said no, I hate it.
1:25:17
John C Dvorak: i That's not true. I'll tell you which one
1:25:19
you said that about. You did say that about one of
1:25:22
Adam Curry: them. Which one? Which one that I know it was
1:25:25
another one you wanted? Well, stormy Trump wasn't no
1:25:29
John C Dvorak: he couldn't really come. I did do this one
1:25:31
is the only real choice.
1:25:33
Adam Curry: I mean, comments. Your blogger posted 5000 ai
1:25:36
generated buttons. Yeah, it was challenge coin. Template. Comics
1:25:42
your blogger? No. It's just No, I don't get it. Doesn't he see
1:25:49
it's not happy Mama was creepy with the chocolates. What else
1:25:54
was there? Was there anything else? There was?
1:25:58
John C Dvorak: Really no this was the only piece that was
1:26:00
really good. That was usable content. taunt me. Oh, Trump,
1:26:04
stormy Trump thing down there where Douglas Harris did it we
1:26:08
see you know, don't do stuff like that. No, no.
1:26:10
Adam Curry: And, you know, Bill Walsh tried to do like kind of a
1:26:13
cheese cake. By the way. I think I have a picture of my mom who
1:26:16
looked like that at the time with her apron on in the
1:26:19
kitchen. She had that hair. And like the 60s. Now it's very
1:26:26
Americana. But no, no, no, no. There was anything else. I think
1:26:32
that was it. Taunton yielded some flowers, which was always
1:26:36
good as a Hail Mary, but it's a good one. By the way. Taunton,
1:26:40
Neil, another one of those great Dutch grandmasters. So she she's
1:26:45
coming to the meetup on June 15th. And she sent me a picture
1:26:49
of the two of us from 30 almost 33 years ago. Wow. 1992
1:26:56
John C Dvorak: She has a longest living crush on you have anyone
1:27:00
she's and
1:27:01
Adam Curry: she looks she looks like she was 16 I think probably
1:27:05
wasn't. And, and she says she has a scrapbook.
1:27:10
John C Dvorak: Oh my gosh, you probably has an altar or thrown
1:27:15
pictures of
1:27:16
Adam Curry: you over if you mean a shrine. I think a shrine
1:27:20
John C Dvorak: blew the joke up.
1:27:23
Adam Curry: I'm very excited to see her scrapbook. I hope she
1:27:26
brings us she's no I'm a grown ass woman. I'm not going to
1:27:28

1:27:35
thank you to all of our artists for all the work you always do.
1:27:37
It is tremendously valuable to us and to the show. And we
1:27:41
appreciate the work that all of you do. We're gonna we're always
1:27:44
going to be honest that we're always going to tell you exactly

to all of our producers, the whole beauty of value for values
1:27:57
you can give whatever you want, whatever the show is worth to
1:27:59
you at $5 may be a lot to you. By the way if everyone gave $5
1:28:03
It's the pipe dream. But if everyone gave $5 the segment's
1:28:06
will be way shorter and we could just run through it to do no
1:28:08
segment there'd be no segment. You're right would be no
1:28:12
segment. instead. The balance always comes from the executive
1:28:16
and Associate Executive producers. We appreciate them
1:28:18
very much and we kick it off with Kiernan Hennessy, who's in
1:28:21

Canada it is Sat is what they say Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
1:39:19

1:44:12
John C Dvorak: shut us like to discuss the Miss USA controversy
1:44:19
with a couple of NPR clips. Oh,
1:44:22
Adam Curry: good, because I already brought it up that
1:44:24
something was going on. Right. We talked about a few shows.
1:44:27
Yeah.
1:44:27
John C Dvorak: You mentioned it. Yes. But this is like
1:44:30
something's going on. Something's up. This is like a
1:44:32
classic example of NPR not being able to twist the story to drop
1:44:38
the story. So it's
1:44:40
Adam Curry: to make it something Trump did.
1:44:43
John C Dvorak: I think you may have guessed it, but let's go.
1:44:47
Unknown: Now we turn to a scandal that's shaking up the
1:44:49
beauty pageant world.
1:44:50
Adam Curry: Oh man. It's already starting off great. The beauty
1:44:54
pageant world oh no
1:44:55
Unknown: Miss USA and Miss Teen USA recently stepped down. The
1:45:00
organization that runs both of these competitions is under
1:45:03
scrutiny. Now former Miss USA Noelia Voight cited mental
1:45:07
health while the former Miss Teen USA Illuma. Sophia
1:45:10
Srivastava pointed to a misalignment of quote, personal
1:45:14
values within the organization. For more insight on this, we're
1:45:18
joined here in studio by Amy argot, singer, she's style
1:45:20
editor at the Washington Post and the author of the book there
1:45:23
she was The Secret History of Miss America. Amy, welcome.
1:45:27
Thank you for having me.
1:45:28
Amy. Just for starters, can you briefly walk us through what we
1:45:32
know so far about these resignations?
1:45:34
We haven't gotten a lot of details, it seems as though both
1:45:38
the former Miss USA and the former Miss Teen USA are
1:45:40
probably bound up by nondisclosure agreements.
1:45:43
They've alluded to being limited in what they can say. But some
1:45:47
details have trickled out just reading between the lines of
1:45:49
their messages to the public on Instagram and by some comments
1:45:53
that their mothers have given in interviews. And the general
1:45:56
impression you have is that they feel like they were just
1:45:59
shabbily treated by pageant management, that they were
1:46:04
subject to criticism and disorganization. You've seen
1:46:08
some phrases tossed about bullying, sexual harassment that
1:46:13
wasn't taken seriously things like that. But the precise
1:46:15
details have not come out the resignation
1:46:18
statement that was put out by Noelia, Voight, who was Miss USA
1:46:22
went viral and followers online. were pointing out that her
1:46:25
statements first 11 sentences started with letters that
1:46:28
spelled out quote, I am silenced on quote. I mean, do you think
1:46:33
that's internet conspiracy theory or that she's trying to
1:46:35
say something significant there for once?
1:46:38
It does not seem to be internet conspiracy theory. People close
1:46:42
to her have said yeah, this is how she feels that was an
1:46:45
intentional message. And that's the message we've gotten is that
1:46:49
this was somewhat coordinated. These young women talk to each
1:46:52
other. Their resignations had been preceded by that of the
1:46:55
Social Media Manager for the organization. Wow,
1:46:59
Adam Curry: it's about time. This is I've never understood
1:47:05
why this is still a thing. I mean, it's it seems so off in
1:47:10
today's politically correct world to have beauty contests at
1:47:15
all. The enter display women like this is of course the
1:47:20
season of reveal and it'll we'll find out about the Olympic
1:47:24
Games, how the how the athletes are treated like just marketing
1:47:29
meet, marketing meet. That's all that's all these women aren't
1:47:33
marketing meet for organizations that are corrupt and probably
1:47:37
filled with creeps.
1:47:39
John C Dvorak: If of course I would draw creeps because you go
1:47:42
where the action is. There's actually no we're there. So I am
1:47:48
silenced as the first let you know first I actually wrote a
1:47:52
column for Mac user magazine years ago where I did that. You
1:47:56
did I am silence you did want to say I'm silenced. But I had some
1:47:59
message using the first letter of every sentence was it? I
1:48:03
can't remember his Happy April Fool's Day or something. I don't
1:48:06
remember. The whole thing was let down. I think I did a bunch
1:48:11
of these jokes and I one of year I resigned which upset the
1:48:16
publisher. But in the boot there was a message was in there. But
1:48:20
I remember one time I did one that was a mirror image which
1:48:23
was the I think one of my more creative April Fool's gags. But
1:48:27
yeah, using the first letter is not it's not a conspiracy when
1:48:30
it spells out I am silenced. No, it's like, what can you think
1:48:34
it's a coincidence that she wrote this? So okay, anyway, so
1:48:38
now we go to part two, because we gotta get to the bottom of
1:48:40
this, what's really going on who's responsible? More
1:48:43
Unknown: quietly, though, a couple of longtime executives
1:48:46
with Miss USA stepped away in the past several months since
1:48:50
the pageant management changed hands back in August. This is an
1:48:55
organization that's in some upheaval, and that goes back a
1:48:58
long ways.
1:48:59
Voigt hasn't commented further on her resignation statement,
1:49:03
but a longer version of that resignation letter was obtained
1:49:05
by some news organizations. And in it, she accused the Miss USA
1:49:09
organization of quote, a toxic work environment that at best is
1:49:13
poor management, and at worst is bullying and harassment. Given
1:49:18
what you know about this organization about its history.
1:49:21
Did those charges surprise you?
1:49:23
No, they really didn't surprise me. Part of that has to do with
1:49:28
the fact that this was the pageant organization Miss USA, a
1:49:31
subsidiary Miss Universe that was owned in part by Donald
1:49:34
Trump. I think we all remember hearing in 2015 2016, some of
1:49:42
the accusations, some of the stories that came out about his
1:49:47
behavior around contestants the way he talked about them. Oh,
1:49:51
Adam Curry: my word, man, you know, I thought that you know,
1:49:58
did John forget Did he forget had about what was going on. But
1:50:01
this also deserves a clip of the day on.
1:50:06
John C Dvorak: NPR and Washington Post, they can help
1:50:09
themselves. They just can't do it.
1:50:12
Adam Curry: Of course we have Trump. It's Trump's fault. You
1:50:17
know what, you know, I know I know what the problem was. I
1:50:20
know what she's what she couldn't say. I know what's
1:50:22
going on. Half of the contestants are dudes. That's
1:50:27
what's happening there. Yeah. Yeah, we're sick of it. We're
1:50:30
sick of it. And so is the sisterhood. Kappa Kappa Gamma.
1:50:34
Unknown: Six members of Kappa Kappa Gamma walk towards the
1:50:37
Federal Court of Appeals in downtown Denver this morning.
1:50:41
Supporters cheering as they make another push to ban Artemus
1:50:44
Langford and transgender women from being in their sorority
1:50:48
just supposed
1:50:48
to be free. You're not exposed to the outside world the male
1:50:51
gaze you're safe from all that their
1:50:53
case was dismissed by the district court last year. The
1:50:56
judge ruling even though Kappa Kappa game was bylaws. Say
1:50:59
quote, a new member shall be a woman. The court can't be the
1:51:03
one to decide whether that excludes transgender women. This
1:51:06
word is attorney Natalie McLaughlin arguing today. The
1:51:10
fraternity council didn't amend the bylaws just interpreted
1:51:13
them. The term women is undefined and campus bylaws and
1:51:17
that term women is not a term that has a singular definition.
1:51:21
They say when a fraternity counsel is put into position,
1:51:24
then they have the duty that's the word they use duty to decide
1:51:28
what that term means. And in this case, they decided that
1:51:32
that is to include transgender women. The issue here is whether
1:51:36
fraternity Council has the right to interpret the term women and
1:51:41
it is not whether they have you know announced that term in the
1:51:44
best form but whether they have exercised the right to interpret
1:51:48
that term and that is what occurred here. Six women though
1:51:52
say the way the sporty was asked to vote on link for to
1:51:55
membership through Google Forms was against bylaws.
1:51:58
So it was a big intimidation factor of hey, we can see if you
1:52:02
voted, we can see how you voted and we can come talk to you
1:52:05
about your vote
1:52:06
or three judges listen to both sides for a little over an hour.
1:52:09
They did express doubt on whether they could make a ruling
1:52:11
or if a lower court should continue to hear the case. No
1:52:15
word on when they may come back with a decision.
1:52:17
Adam Curry: Okay, well, this is easy Corinne DeVore XA You're
1:52:20
not a woman. We can define what a woman is. This has to stop.
1:52:25
And it's it's it's crazy that we have a Supreme Court justice
1:52:29
Catan G Jackson Browne, who in her confirmation hearing would
1:52:34
not define what a woman is. And here we are. These these girls,
1:52:39
by the way, fantastic. They were rocking it. I go women look at
1:52:44
us we're women. Stay away.
1:52:47
John C Dvorak: There's an overriding question here which
1:52:50
is you got it sorority? I'm familiar with sororities and
1:52:55
fraternities and how they operate they vote a person and
1:52:58
if they if this if some transgender comes in and they
1:53:01
don't want transgenders in their sorority they just say no but
1:53:04
didn't I don't get to see what is being measured here what she
1:53:08
said that there were some but the voting some scurry vote yes.
1:53:11
They they forced everybody open voting. It wasn't a closed vote.
1:53:15
It
1:53:15
Adam Curry: was a Google a Google Forms. Google Forms goes
1:53:21
long was sheets. This
1:53:22
John C Dvorak: doesn't there's something about the story
1:53:24
doesn't make sense. I mean, I liked the what they're up to.
1:53:27
Adam Curry: Yes, me too. I like what they're up to. But it's
1:53:29
just like case seems somewhat but women right women are under
1:53:33
attack. And it has to stop particularly those of the
1:53:37
lactating kind fellas,
1:53:40
Unknown: the digital billboard was supposed to celebrate
1:53:42
breastfeeding moms. But after only three days, Molly Boz was
1:53:46
told the 45 foot ad marketing her so called lactation cookies
1:53:51
was being taken down. It's
1:53:53
super disheartening and infuriating to me that my kind
1:53:57
of first public foray into being a public mother was one that was
1:54:03
deemed inappropriate.
1:54:05
This is how the cookie crumbles. For cookbook author Molly baz.
1:54:09
She says her lactation cookie ad meant to help new moms was on
1:54:14
her bucket list. But it quickly turned into a lesson in
1:54:17
hypocrisy.
1:54:18
There's a lot of irony if you look around the landscape at
1:54:21
times where of what's going on and what historically, is deemed
1:54:25
an ad that's appropriate for a public space. I know that this
1:54:31
is a systemic issue that exists in our society. That's why we
1:54:35
put this campaign together was to show an empowered pregnant
1:54:39
woman. The
1:54:40
ad space is operated by Clear Channel and swell boss, his
1:54:44
partner says the company was told the ad violated guidelines
1:54:48
for acceptable content. And that's why it was taken down.
1:54:52
But baz is now sharing photos of similar ads that also appear in
1:54:56
Times Square of people in underwear showing just as much
1:55:00
skin.
1:55:00
Adam Curry: So at the at the bottom of the story besides
1:55:02
possibly being a native ad, is it is kind of despicable we've
1:55:07
gotten to this point where a woman is on the Billboard, and
1:55:11
she's really only exposing her belly, a big pregnant belly. And
1:55:15
that is deemed inappropriate by today's cultural standards.
1:55:19
Whereas we'll go look at the time square billboards. It's all
1:55:23
sexualized. And so this is Oh, no, we can't have this. Oh, no,
1:55:27
it's shocking. Oh, it's triggering me. It's triggering.
1:55:30
Oh, it's red. The rain triggers me I'm triggered. We've gotten
1:55:34
we've
1:55:37
John C Dvorak: been looking at this slightly differently as I
1:55:39
like to know how a cookbook author she's near afford at
1:55:43
Times Square billboard. She
1:55:44
Adam Curry: is the New York Times. cookbook recipe author.
1:55:50
She's a big deal. She's a big deal. This
1:55:54
John C Dvorak: is so big deal doesn't mean you have the money
1:55:57
to afford a house I especially a New York Times reporter
1:56:01
basically,
1:56:02
Adam Curry: I've she's a big deal but go look her up.
1:56:06
John C Dvorak: We'll be having a big deal doesn't mean she has
1:56:07
the resources. If
1:56:09
Adam Curry: I think new ideas had a billboard on Times Square,
1:56:12
it's not that expensive just to but you had
1:56:14
John C Dvorak: investors money as right now your money. Your
1:56:18
pot investors money?
1:56:19
Adam Curry: Yes. Big difference. VC cash? Well, okay, I'm not
1:56:26
looking at that way. I'm looking at the mental health crisis we
1:56:30
have in America. It's all around the world. But it's certainly in
1:56:33
the United we have a mental health crisis. People are out of
1:56:35
their minds, then it's probably because they're not drinking raw
1:56:38
milk. That would change by the way, the New York Times had an
1:56:43
outstanding, I was surprised in this era of the whole child
1:56:48
initiative, which is extremely disturbing. Not good. I have a
1:56:54
pamphlet, which I've not allowed to post yet by the pamphlet
1:56:59
that's distributed in schools from the summit Counseling
1:57:03
Center. And I mean, this is the stuff that they're identifying
1:57:09
children with in schools buy in school counselors. This is a
1:57:14
problem. Get your kids out of the school don't even try to
1:57:17
change the school. Just get them out. Yeah, I'm thinking you're
1:57:20
right. I mean, homeschooling is there's lots of resources for
1:57:24
homeschooling parents, you you homeschooled your all of your
1:57:28
kids.
1:57:30
John C Dvorak: Just a couple of them and only part not the whole
1:57:33
time either just a period of time, right and then they want
1:57:36
to do it you find out a couple of things. Yeah. And there's
1:57:40
like there's categories of homeschoolers as a Christian
1:57:43
homeschoolers. There's the Muslim homeschoolers as a Jewish
1:57:46
homeschoolers as the secular. So there's four groups of
1:57:49
homeschoolers, and they intermix a little bit. The Muslim
1:57:52
homeschoolers tend to be the most aggressive about field
1:57:55
trips. So you try to hook up with a few of those guys. So the
1:57:58
kids are always going out there at farms, their factories are
1:58:01
mooted that Muslim homeschoolers are great. There's resources
1:58:05
there's bookstores, there's online sources that once you get
1:58:10
into it, it just all of a sudden you're you're you're in a
1:58:13
network you didn't know existed and then boom, you get
1:58:16
everything you need is there it's a no brainer. So actually
1:58:20
quite easy. The key I'll give you this the key to success to
1:58:24
homeschooling is to get the kid to agree your child Yeah, to be
1:58:28
getting into it. To sit to agree to it. Yeah. Would you like to
1:58:33
leave with the other school is terrible. Would you like to be
1:58:36
homeschool? I will, we will homeschool you but you have to
1:58:38
agree to cooperate.
1:58:40
Adam Curry: Sign this. Once
1:58:43
John C Dvorak: you got it and once they agree to cooperate,
1:58:45
then this is good to go. There is a lot of art, you know,
1:58:48
reading on their own
1:58:49
Adam Curry: and just say how many years was J homeschooled?
1:58:54
John C Dvorak: Probably four or five five maybe? J
1:59:00
Adam Curry: DeVore. EC je je Devorah is one of the most
1:59:03
delightful productive human resources I've ever had the
1:59:07
pleasure of working with. She she does no agenda abc.com The
1:59:12
books are shipping by the way. They are their shipping, the
1:59:15
shipping the books are shipping as we speak no agenda abc.com
1:59:18
Get your coloring book, get your hard copy. She is one of the
1:59:22
most enjoyable, pleasant, productive human resources I've
1:59:27
ever worked with. And there you go. Because she was
1:59:29
homeschooled. She got no hang ups. No issues. Always smiley,
1:59:34
always good. Now, I would I would recommend any organization
1:59:38
hire except you can because we got her under contract. She's at
1:59:41
the Art publishing company, but our mind but she had a post she
1:59:44
can't have her. So anyway, on the previous episode, I made
1:59:49
some comments about social media and how useless utterly useless
1:59:53
it is to be posting about all the horrible things in the
1:59:56
world. You might get it off your chest but you're not doing
1:59:59
anything you're not star Getting a conversation not get anything
2:00:01
going. You're not helping your means really aren't doing all
2:00:05
that much. You're in a little bubble and you get your friends.
2:00:08
Names. That was great, man. It was a great meet. Oh, that was
2:00:11
great. Oh yeah. Who got them? Yeah, you you showed them on the
2:00:14
legs really? There's more danger to social networks, particularly
2:00:20
to the children by the way, I got I saw a lot of positive
2:00:24
comments people like, you know, Adams and a horrible guy who I
2:00:27
hate him. He's a grifter, but he is kind of right. You know, it's
2:00:30
really kind of useless. You're
2:00:31
John C Dvorak: not a grifter, that's for sure. No, they
2:00:33
Adam Curry: call me grifter. I'm a grifter. I'm a grifter. I'm a
2:00:36
grifter.
2:00:38
John C Dvorak: Maybe a horrible guy. But you're not a grifter.
2:00:41
Adam Curry: Thank you. Thank you for clarifying. But there is
2:00:45
more going on with social networking that I would like the
2:00:48
parents who of course, if you're listening to the no agenda
2:00:51
podcast, you probably already know this. But I was surprised,
2:00:54
delightfully surprised to see the New York Times post a whole
2:00:59
piece on this and actually had a video, I clipped it. And this is
2:01:02
about mental health, and how social media and the experts on
2:01:07
social media are ruining your children search
2:01:10
Unknown: for high functioning anxiety on tick tock, and look
2:01:13
what happens three signs of high functioning anxiety, with high
2:01:16
functioning anxiety, things you don't realize you're doing
2:01:19
because of your high functioning anxiety, more than 10,000 videos
2:01:22
with millions of young viewers.
2:01:24
Number one, you tend to have extremely high standards for
2:01:27
yourself and might even identify as being a perfectionist, you
2:01:30
are nice and easy to be around. But you people please too much.
2:01:33
Many are made by professional clinicians. And they mean well,
2:01:36
but here's the thing. high functioning anxiety isn't a
2:01:39
medical diagnosis. It's a hashtag.
2:01:43
No one cares about me. Why should I care about myself? It's
2:01:46
okay to not understand what you're feeling. And it's easy to
2:01:49
think that you're all alone. Over the
2:01:51
last decade, there's been this massive cultural shift in how we
2:01:55
talk about our psychology and our feelings. They see a
2:01:58
therapist, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
2:02:02
It's okay. It's okay. Even Burger King cares about your
2:02:05
mental health. Awareness is good. It teaches us to talk
2:02:09
about our feelings and it combats harmful stigma but all
2:02:12
this awareness is not reducing rates of mental health problems.
2:02:15
What it is doing is convincing some teenagers that they have a
2:02:18
mental illness when they don't. Yes,
2:02:21
Adam Curry: exactly. That's exactly what's happening. I'm
2:02:26
high function. I have high functional anxiety. Guess what
2:02:29
anxiety is a part of life. You don't need drugs for it. You
2:02:34
don't need stuff to regulate your anxiety. Then all of this
2:02:39
stuff, it's all it's professionals. jhanas
2:02:40
professionals. It's all part of the American Psychiatric
2:02:43
psychiatric association. Oh, no. If you feel like this sometimes
2:02:47
Oh, you probably need to take aerial. You're a boy. Sure, boy.
2:02:52
It always ends up with your boy. Yeah, take girl. Yeah, exactly.
2:02:56
So be careful. Be careful out there people. Ah, see, you've
2:03:02
been hiding it from me. And I wasn't prepared to play yeah.
2:03:09
What are you drinking today, John?
2:03:12
John C Dvorak: I'm drinking Lagunitas hoppy refresher. And
2:03:15
this is a berry lemon flavor.
2:03:18
Adam Curry: Oh,
2:03:18
John C Dvorak: what can I buy last? My last can of hoppy
2:03:22
refresher hoppy
2:03:23
Adam Curry: refresher, interesting.
2:03:24
John C Dvorak: Kind of a hint? Sounds good. Sounds kind of gave
2:03:28
me a case of it.
2:03:31
Adam Curry: You drank the whole case on the show?
2:03:34
John C Dvorak: No, I drink it every so often. It's tasty. It's
2:03:38
hoppy.
2:03:40
Adam Curry: Let's see. We probably let me see Oh, we
2:03:46
should probably talk about this for a second. Just because
2:03:48
you're the expert.
2:03:49
Unknown: American families are now spending about $227 more a
2:03:52
month compared to a year ago and about $1,037 more compared to
2:03:58
three years ago. Even with incomes rising costs going up
2:04:02
have met the credit card statements how much money you're
2:04:06
putting on that credit card is also rising. The number of
2:04:09
Americans now missing their credit card payments is
2:04:12
increasing with Gen Z, the most likely age group to max out
2:04:16
their credit cards. And the Fed has signaled that rates are
2:04:19
likely to go lower eventually but that eventually continues to
2:04:23
get pushed out with inflation higher and we're starting to see
2:04:26
it impact other areas like student loans student loan
2:04:30
interest rates now the highest in nearly two decades. Yeah,
2:04:34
Adam Curry: everything's great. The economy is good. Best Ever.
2:04:40
Biden omics is working everybody anomic so they expect that every
2:04:44
leg expected 3.5% inflation month over month
2:04:50
John C Dvorak: you know, this would I wish I didn't even have
2:04:52
a clip on this but I probably one of the clips may incorporate
2:04:56
this but NPR again, day taught talked about added like this is
2:05:00
great. The economy has never been in better shape is only
2:05:04
3.5%. month over month is way down
2:05:08
Adam Curry: month over month. It's it's compounded, is it not?
2:05:11
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh yeah. It's just it's just keeps us
2:05:13
it's it stacks on top of each other. So it was whatever it is.
2:05:17
It's more let's
2:05:19
Adam Curry: see how great the economy is. Let's see how fast
2:05:21
food is doing back now
2:05:22
Unknown: with Red Lobster moving closer to bankruptcy. The Wall
2:05:25
Street Journal reports the seafood chain could file for
2:05:28
Chapter 11. As soon as next week Red Lobster follows the sudden
2:05:31
closure of dozens of restaurants. Red Lobster has
2:05:34
been losing money for years. It's all you can eat shrimp to
2:05:37
contributed to an $11 million loss. I mean,
2:05:41
Adam Curry: shrimp. Shrimp is the bug of the sea. They can't
2:05:45
even make money on shrimp.
2:05:47
John C Dvorak: They weren't it was all you can eat shrimp. This
2:05:49
has been broke down. Because you got big fat Hey, I don't know
2:05:53
about you. But there's a Texas has got plenty of these guys.
2:05:57
But we had a lot of wet red lobsters out here big fat guys.
2:06:01
And they go into a place like this where it's all you can eat
2:06:04
shrimp for a fixed price and they eat it they eat the place
2:06:09
out. And then these guys are these guys managing red locks.
2:06:12
You're too dumb
2:06:15
Adam Curry: to realize motion to realize this is not working.
2:06:19
Well, there's another promotion because you know so with these
2:06:23
inflation numbers actually, it was kind of funny we see do I
2:06:26
have it in here? Let me see. Do I have the I thought I had the
2:06:32
inflation number oh, here's the inflation breakdown. It was kind
2:06:36
of interesting to see the how they bend of course these
2:06:38
numbers are bogus. So all items 3.4% increase in cost that is
2:06:45
what they call inflation. The largest inflation categories
2:06:51
were juices and drinks 29% increase video discs and other
2:06:59
media 29% increase video what video discs and other media
2:07:05
discs. They're measuring that but that's 29% motor vehicle
2:07:12
insurance. We got hit by this 22.6% We have as much chance of
2:07:18
something happening to our car is as farmer Jed. I mean we live
2:07:22
in the sticks is amazing how much our car insurance went up.
2:07:27
admissions to sporting events. You're getting gouged 15% food
2:07:34
at home though only 1.1% While food in general like fast food.
2:07:41
Now that's going up then so McDonald's groceries
2:07:44
John C Dvorak: have gone up pocket food at home only be 1%
2:07:47
because that comes that stems from groceries 1.1% It's
2:07:50
Adam Curry: it that's some that's a bogus no beef roasts.
2:07:53
10.1% is beef roast is not the same as food at home.
2:07:57
frankfurters. 7% fats and oils. Why are you eating that at all
2:08:04
people 5% Canned vegetables 4.8% tomatoes 4.7 Dried beans, peas
2:08:11
and lentils. Food away from home though. This up vending machines
2:08:19
7.3% and limited service meals and snacks 4.8 So that's I guess
2:08:26
your fast food they don't break it out by fast food. So
2:08:29
McDonald's is feeling the heat because they're gouging people.
2:08:33
Did you see that? There was a video that went viral of this
2:08:36
lady's like she opens up a Big Mac and it's thinner than the
2:08:40
pickle. The meat patty is thinner than the pickle. And
2:08:44
it's transparent there's holes in it. Yeah, it sounds like so
2:08:49
so there so that for one McDonald's
2:08:51
John C Dvorak: in Oakland I should get some clips because I
2:08:53
can get these clips that was rat infested. rat infested for over
2:08:59
a year they finally got it down we
2:09:01
Adam Curry: had clips of the rat infested we had clip your clips
2:09:05
you don't remember at the rats. So McDonald's is fighting back
2:09:10
with a one month limited value
2:09:13
Unknown: meal with fast food frustration frying customers.
2:09:16
Adam Curry: Whoa nice alliteration what happened to
2:09:19
the dollar menu
2:09:20
Unknown: bring that back
2:09:21
this morning. Some relief may be on the horizon of the Golden
2:09:24
Arches. McDonald's may soon roll out of $5 value meal nationwide
2:09:29
to people familiar tells CNBC the offer would include four
2:09:32
piece chicken mcnuggets a choice of a make chicken or make double
2:09:36
fries and a drink and the rumor hot off the press has consumers
2:09:40
loving it because that seems too good to be true.
2:09:42
I'm excited for if that's the case because everything
2:09:47
fast food giant would be just the latest offer a $5 meal deal
2:09:51
if all this with the JBC
2:09:54
igniting a battle in the burger Kingdom has more inflation.
2:09:57
Cautious consumers are fed up with rising Fast Food costs yeah
2:10:01
Adam Curry: nice native ads CNBC
2:10:03
John C Dvorak: was definitely a native ad but the worst part is
2:10:06
it seems as if from the least from the forums that the the
2:10:12
franchise owners of all these McDonald's do not want this no
2:10:15
Adam Curry: because they're gonna get soaked on it
2:10:17
John C Dvorak: you're gonna get soaked and it's gonna be like
2:10:19
the free or the all you can eat shrimp is just that there's no
2:10:23
money in it and so they're not happy.
2:10:26
Adam Curry: Now at this point, you're better off getting some
2:10:28
ground hamburger meat from your rancher? Yes, yes you are. It's
2:10:34
it's you paid the same if not less. And you can make a whole
2:10:37
bunch of
2:10:37
John C Dvorak: number of people out there that have ranchers you
2:10:40
can get it goat available to them. You probably 1% of the
2:10:45
audience available
2:10:46
Adam Curry: to everybody in America. There's a map and
2:10:50
there's one near you beef initiative.com There's one near
2:10:54
you you can get this this is this is the problem is people
2:10:58
think that they can't get it. I'm just trying to keep people
2:11:01
healthy. I don't want to do whatever you want. Feed your
2:11:04
kids that crap.
2:11:07
John C Dvorak: Kids crap.
2:11:10
Adam Curry: Adam and John. John says feed your kids crap raw
2:11:14
sewage. Let us since we're in the season of reveal here, let's
2:11:22
go to the corruption because they're all corrupt. All of
2:11:25
them. All of them are in some kind of deal one way or the
2:11:28
other. I love how Menendez has thrown his wife under the bus
2:11:31
though gold
2:11:31
Unknown: bars seized by the FBI will be put on full display in
2:11:35
the federal corruption trial against Senator Bob Menendez.
2:11:39
This is what prosecutors told jurors Wednesday afternoon
2:11:42
during opening arguments or what they described as a roadmap to
2:11:45
their case. Assistant US Attorney Laura Pomerance said,
2:11:49
this is a case about a public official who put greed first who
2:11:53
put his power up for sale. What was his price gold. She told the
2:11:58
court the bribery scheme started in 2018 with Egyptian native why
2:12:02
Ohana and the Senator's wife Nadine Menendez that you had
2:12:06
been friends for years, and then Hana saw an opportunity as a
2:12:09
failed businessman. Pomeranz told jurors that Menendez
2:12:13
promised to do things to benefit Hana and the Government of
2:12:16
Egypt, which set in motion a web to make good on the bribery
2:12:20
payments with the help of Haanas business partner, New Jersey
2:12:23
real estate developer Fred Davies, but defense attorney for
2:12:26
Menendez, Avi Weitzman, told jurors, he was never and is not
2:12:30
a foreign agent of the government and he did not
2:12:33
violate the law period. Bob was doing his job and he was doing
2:12:37
it right. He says the gold bars have been in his wife's Lebanese
2:12:41
family for years and were listed on a 2022 financial disclosure
2:12:45
form. Weitzman told the court, they want you to be blinded by
2:12:49
the golden cash and that the government's case rests on
2:12:52
little more than guesswork and speculation. Thursday morning
2:12:56
defense attorneys for awhile, Hana and Fred Davies will
2:12:58
present their opening arguments. I
2:13:00
Adam Curry: don't believe it for a second. It's the woman it's
2:13:02
the wife. Yeah, but
2:13:04
John C Dvorak: listen to this. If it's been if the gold bars
2:13:07
have been in the Lebanese wife's family for years, I can just
2:13:12
showed up on a on a statement. 2022 Yeah,
2:13:15
Adam Curry: because she stole it from the family. I don't know
2:13:17
this ally. Gold is fungible. That one got one gold bar for
2:13:22
the other. Was it that one? Was it this one? I don't know.
2:13:25
Actually, I think they're probably stamped, aren't they?
2:13:28
Um, they have a number the gold bars tend to be they tend to be
2:13:31
but all of these politicians I think the minute you get elected
2:13:34
you're in it's like hey, hey, look at this picture. In your
2:13:39
mind now son, yeah, and this guy this guy's what it was Menendez
2:13:43
his wife she's the one that was getting all the favors done.
2:13:46
He's like yes, yes on the I know. The in some other reports
2:13:49
like it was it wasn't a locked closet. I don't have the key to
2:13:52
her closet. What kind of marriage do you have?
2:13:56
John C Dvorak: Rarely that's not a crock that's not
2:13:59
Adam Curry: suspicious.
2:14:02
John C Dvorak: And you know my wife's got a lot clauses you
2:14:04
won't let me look in there. Like you ever tried to go in there
2:14:07
when she's not at home and check it out and see what she's
2:14:10
hiding. No.
2:14:15
Adam Curry: So it was a horrible assassination attempt on the
2:14:19
Slovak Slovakia I have a crime minister. Oh, I have an update.
2:14:24
The came in this morning.
2:14:27
John C Dvorak: Oh a play my clip then your update. Okay, hold
2:14:29
Adam Curry: on a second. Where is your clip? Here we go. Here's
2:14:33
your clip,
2:14:34
Unknown: Slovakia's populist Prime Minister Robert feet so is
2:14:37
fighting for his life. He was severely wounded after being
2:14:41
gunned down following a political event this afternoon.
2:14:44
Here's more. The 59
2:14:46
year old was hit in the stomach after four shots were fired. The
2:14:50
shooting happened outside the House of Culture in the town of
2:14:54
Hannover where he was meeting with supporters. Police have a
2:14:58
suspect in custody. This Shooting in Slovakia comes three
2:15:01
weeks ahead of crucial European Parliament elections, in which
2:15:05
populist and hard right parties in the 27 nation bloc appear
2:15:10
poised to make gains. feet so a third time Premier is staging a
2:15:15
political comeback. After campaigning on a pro Russian and
2:15:19
anti American message. Critics are worried the country in
2:15:22
defeats those leadership would abandon Slovakia is pro Western
2:15:26
course and follow the direction of Hungary under populist Prime
2:15:30
Minister Viktor Orban. 1000s have repeatedly rallied in the
2:15:36
capital and across Slovakia to protest feeds those policies.
2:15:40
condemnations of political violence quickly came from
2:15:44
leaders across Europe, although no motive for the attack was
2:15:47
immediately apparent. Yeah.
2:15:49
Adam Curry: Okay, so first of all shades of pin for town. This
2:15:53
is exactly what happened with him for town. 22 years ago, he
2:15:58
was about to go into elections. They have some, some gray beard,
2:16:02
go out and shoot him kill him. Because, you know, he might
2:16:06
upset the applecart and clearly the Slovakian Pm is not in on
2:16:11
the whole, you know, the whole European Union kumbaya thing,
2:16:15
and whoa, oh, it was much more like Viktor Orban. Oh no. And
2:16:21
then so that just just killing
2:16:24
John C Dvorak: was straw man, Viktor Orban. Yeah,
2:16:27
Adam Curry: what they're just they're killing people. Now over
2:16:30
this is a political assassination attempt. Here's
2:16:33
the update from this morning,
2:16:34
Unknown: Wednesday afternoon. This helicopter rushed Slovakian
2:16:37
Prime Minister Robert feets out to the hospital. We spend hours
2:16:41
in intensive surgeries. late in the night, one of Slovakia's
2:16:45
deputy prime ministers announced that the operations were
2:16:48
successful in that pizza was no longer in a life threatening
2:16:52
situation. Meanwhile, another deputy prime minister held a
2:16:56
press conference denouncing the political nature of the attack.
2:17:00
The issue was the political assault feed so was shot in the
2:17:04
abdomen as he greeted a crowd of supporters. Limited Slater
2:17:09
footage showed police handcuffing a gray haired
2:17:11
suspect on the ground. Local media have identified the gunman
2:17:16
as a 71 year old writer and peace activist and
2:17:19
identification that has been confirmed by the Slovakian
2:17:22
interior ministers but not officially released by police.
2:17:26
Several of his political statements can be found on
2:17:29
social media, in which he variously called out hatred and
2:17:32
extremism, advocated for non violence and supported a pro
2:17:37
Russian paramilitary group paramilitary Prime Minister feet
2:17:40
so when a third term in September after campaigning on a
2:17:44
pro Russian and anti American platform. After his electoral
2:17:49
victory, his government immediately halted arms
2:17:52
deliveries to Ukraine. Oh no critics have worried the
2:17:55
undefeated so Slovakia would abandon the country's pro
2:17:58
Western course and follow the direction of Hungary under
2:18:02
populous Prime Minister, Viktor Orban.
2:18:05
Adam Curry: There you go, there you go. But you're not on board.
2:18:10
And so now they're just killing each other.
2:18:13
John C Dvorak: I can't appease activist peace a peace Nick
2:18:16
activist and Jake a non violent hate or violence shoot somebody?
2:18:21
Yeah,
2:18:21
Adam Curry: yeah.
2:18:22
John C Dvorak: Oh, irony there.
2:18:23
Adam Curry: Oh, because we have to go kill people. kill people
2:18:27
kill people. All right. Now let's talk about the real
2:18:30
killing that's going on the real killing. Because we're out of
2:18:35
Ukrainian men. They're all dead. We need more urgently needs
2:18:39
Unknown: new soldiers and is increasing pressure on men to
2:18:42
sign up. The government recently passed a new mobilization law
2:18:46
from this, which from this weekend means that Ukrainian men
2:18:50
will have two months to register for potential conscription. If
2:18:54
they don't sign up. They'll be punished
2:18:56
Adam Curry: you either get punished or you die. This is
2:18:59
insane. They are the Ukraine girls. They this amazing what
2:19:07
they're doing and when she's like oh is just Ukrainian men
2:19:10
who gives a crap wound care. Rafa
2:19:13
John C Dvorak: is gonna take he's gonna completely alter the
2:19:16
gene pool.
2:19:17
Adam Curry: Yes, and they already have cankles let's be
2:19:22
honest. So what do we do? Well, we're gonna help we're gonna
2:19:26
help we're gonna help we're coming to your aid dudes. And
2:19:29
Unknown: update now the US is giving Ukraine another massive
2:19:32
round of support as Ukrainian forces battle against the new
2:19:36
Russian military offensive US Secretary of State Antony
2:19:39
Blinken announcing in Kyiv. Today a $2 billion arms deal.
2:19:44
Most of the money will come from a package approved last month.
2:19:47
The funding will provide weapons in the short term invest in
2:19:50
Ukraine's defense industrial base as well and allow Ukraine
2:19:55
to buy military supplies from other countries. Ukrainian
2:19:58
troops withdrew from Some parts of their country while fighting
2:20:02
Russian soldiers in other areas today, Ukraine's president has
2:20:05
postponed all upcoming foreign trips.
2:20:08
Adam Curry: So it's the 2 billion of the 60 billion which
2:20:11
they did not get no big Publishers Clearing House check
2:20:14
to Ukraine. No, here's 2 billion that we're not sending you a
2:20:17
check. You can spend, what would you like to spend? It's like the
2:20:19
Supermarket Sweep. Okay, you got 2 billion you got 30 seconds.
2:20:23
What do you want to buy? You want to attack items? No, no,
2:20:27
you're not getting attack items, which is whatever. Remember that
2:20:29
was always to get them attack items that were just fell out of
2:20:33
vogue because they're not going to give it to them. They don't
2:20:36
they're not sincere about this. If they use attack ohms then
2:20:40
they would attack they would blow up Moscow. We can't have
2:20:44
that that would not prolong everything so instead, send
2:20:47
Blinken tonight
2:20:49
Unknown: the Russians advancing from Ukraine's northeast border.
2:20:52
A desperate race to evacuate 1000s of Ukrainians on the
2:20:56
outskirts of hotkey says they are shooting from everywhere.
2:20:59
Yesterday there was a hit in the front of our house burned down.
2:21:03
Ukraine forced to retreat in recent months waiting for
2:21:06
Congress to approve weapons. Now try to hold the line and
2:21:09
villages north of arkiv Secretary of State Lincoln
2:21:13
arriving and Keith today, even taking time to jump on stage
2:21:17
with a local band. Playing rockin in the free world
2:21:23
presents Alinsky expressing gratitude but saying his country
2:21:26
still needs air defense against the Russian barrage.
2:21:29
Specifically Patriot missile batteries scattered
2:21:32
defense the biggest deficits for us for our coverage
2:21:36
because they are under attack Secretary Blinken saying the
2:21:40
assistance is on its way some has
2:21:42
already arrived. But more that will be arriving. And that's
2:21:45
going to make a real difference. But
2:21:47
the US says it doesn't have enough Patriot missile launches
2:21:50
and is working with other countries to send theirs. While
2:21:53
Russia is getting critical support from Iran, North Korea
2:21:56
and China Putin is
2:21:57
ramping up yet another offensive against Ukraine in our Kyiv and
2:22:01
across the east, sending wave after wave of Russian soldiers,
2:22:06
Iranian drones, North Korean artillery oh and tanks.
2:22:11
And this week President Putin and riding the wave of recent
2:22:13
advances in Ukraine will meet with President Xi in Beijing and
2:22:17
we'll discuss the war.
2:22:19
Adam Curry: Okay, so they send Blinken over to say don't worry,
2:22:22
you can spend that 2 billion on some Patriot missiles from other
2:22:26
European countries. That's fine. We're not going to give you
2:22:29
attack items. Enza Lenski got the script playing along nicely.
2:22:33
And just to relieve some tension. I guess Blinken travels
2:22:37
with his guitar because it's a custom. It's a left handed
2:22:40
guitar bread. And I actually I sewed him playing and singing.
2:22:48
And it's atrocious and embarrassing. Okay.
2:22:53
John C Dvorak: Throw something in here. So this band is
2:22:56
notorious for playing living in the free world. And they made
2:22:59
the announcement that hey, we're gonna have a special
2:23:03
Adam Curry: special guest and was like Neil Young's coming
2:23:06
Bruce and everybody
2:23:07
John C Dvorak: believed Neil Young was going to come because
2:23:10
of the song and so they packed the place. And here's our
2:23:14
special guest Anthony blink and wearing yeah, here we go. I was
2:23:19
just gonna say when you're over 50 Don't wear jeans please.
2:23:22
Unknown: They're fighting not just for Ukraine but for the
2:23:25
free world. And the free world is with you too. So maybe we can
2:23:30
try something
2:23:37
Adam Curry: hey Blinken autotune
2:23:46
this is this is the height of embarrassment is
2:23:49
John C Dvorak: very bad.
2:23:52
Adam Curry: Ms. Elissa Oh solo rip and rip and maybe he didn't
2:24:00
even play this. Oh, this is an embarrassment. He should be
2:24:05
fired by doing this fired. I mean, this is worse than Hillary
2:24:10
Clinton dancing with the with her team. Remember that?
2:24:13
John C Dvorak: Oh my god.
2:24:15
Adam Curry: So I did want to play this short ABC report about
2:24:19
the intensifying attacks because it is not pop heaven.
2:24:25
Unknown: Tonight, the Russian onslaught in the Northeast
2:24:28
forcing Ukrainian troops to retreat and civilians to flee
2:24:34
Oberoi. You can hear gun battles raging as this police official
2:24:39
in the border town of VAVA Schanz describes the situation
2:24:42
as extremely difficult. Ukraine is fighting back. But Russian
2:24:47
forces are pressing ahead. Repeatedly shelling the
2:24:51
country's second largest city Kharkiv just a few dozen miles
2:24:54
away developments in the northeast and along other parts
2:24:57
of the 600 mile front so concerning President Zelensky
2:25:01
that he's postponed all upcoming foreign trips to monitor the
2:25:04
fighting. It comes as Secretary Blinken announced another $2
2:25:07
billion in aid during his visit, most of it coming from the $60
2:25:11
billion already approved by Congress last month. We're
2:25:14
rushing
2:25:14
ammunition, armored vehicles, missiles, air defenses, rushing
2:25:19
them to get to the front lines.
2:25:21
And David, President Solinsky may have had to cancel his
2:25:24
upcoming foreign trip because of the seriousness of the situation
2:25:27
in Kharkiv. But Vladimir Putin has tonight arrived in China
2:25:31
shoring up support for the war, which does seem increasingly to
2:25:34
be going his way.
2:25:36
Adam Curry: They mean, can you make it any more clear? NAT POP
2:25:40
NAT POP Nat pop, boom, three, two words, another explosion.
2:25:45
John C Dvorak: I don't have a link to the show notes. But I
2:25:47
want to recommend something to people, which is a new
2:25:49
development in these wars they talk about they talk about dry
2:25:54
Iranian drones in this and that's not what's going on
2:25:57
what's really going on now is that the Russians have
2:26:00
retrofitted their supply of half ton, one ton, 2000 pound and
2:26:08
3000 pound bombs that they've accumulated. And there's an
2:26:12
estimated one, but you can look this up on glide bombs, no, and
2:26:18
try to find the Daily Mail report. So they've modified
2:26:21
these bombs, and they take an SU 34. And they take it up to about
2:26:24
56,000 feet, which are the things that I had to do to get
2:26:27
to 40 miles away, before even crossing the Ukrainian border
2:26:32
and launching these things. And they've got wings and a little
2:26:36
GPS device on him. And they glide 40 Miles like do not
2:26:43
propelled they just glide and then hit these targets these
2:26:47
these targets accurately. Supposedly. It's an amazing
2:26:53
technology. And it turns out if you listen to the reports, that
2:26:57
the Russian you know, you talk about all the North Koreans and
2:26:59
this all these people supplying the Russians, they have 1
2:27:02
million of these bombs that they've asked us the 61 million
2:27:08
Wow, they're gonna launch it they put the wings on every one
2:27:11
of them and off they go. There's like retrofitted. They're just
2:27:14
as fascinating story about glide bombs, but look at I would
2:27:19
recommend
2:27:20
Adam Curry: I have it in the show notes is dynamite. It is
2:27:23
and but the thing is, they're not sincere about any of this
2:27:27
because the attackers have not and remember this was at the
2:27:30
discretion of the president. The Press, they're approved. They're
2:27:33
good to go. We can send them over. But no, you're not going
2:27:37
to get it because it's a farce. This war is a farce. And there's
2:27:40
hundreds of 1000s of Ukrainian men dead because of it dead and
2:27:46
no outrage, no outrage, zero. No one cares. There's also no video
2:27:53
No, not pops, no, no body parts thrown about, unlike in Gaza.
2:28:00
Now, I want to transition us carefully over to this story
2:28:04
John C Dvorak: by kind of a background of Gaza clip.
2:28:07
Adam Curry: What can I can I transition us into it with a
2:28:09
protest clip? Sure, because this before
2:28:13
John C Dvorak: you play that don't want to say something?
2:28:15
Yeah, say so. I have to say whoever's really behind this
2:28:18
Gaza thing. The protesters in the United States at every
2:28:21
university in every college and every on bridges and toll plazas
2:28:25
and every place in between these people are extremely talented at
2:28:30
organizing. I mean, I've never seen anything. So well done in
2:28:36
my entire life. And I've seen lots of protests, but this is
2:28:39
unbelievably good.
2:28:41
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's this it's well organized, well funded. And
2:28:45
it's dynamite. And well, there's a lot of hate about Israel.
2:28:49
There's a lot of people who hate Israel. They hate the Zinus
2:28:53
those damn Zionist, yes. So so the Sky News lady, you know, the
2:28:58
one who's always making fun of stuff. So she made fun of Greta
2:29:04
Greta, credit to marry at the Eurovision Song Contest. Yeah,
2:29:09
and it was just so good. She used several adjectives that I
2:29:12
just wanted to play one minute of her her rant about Greta,
2:29:16
Unknown: one line performer representing Israel was
2:29:19
mercilessly bullied by the crowd who booed her by fellow
2:29:23
contestants and even commie troll Greta Thunberg. To
2:29:28
show that we think it is outrageous and inexcusable for
2:29:32
Univision to let Israel participate while committing a
2:29:35
genocide. Yes, it's a song contest where where Israel, a
2:29:40
country that is currently committing a genocide in Gaza
2:29:42
are allowed to compete. Yeah, that is a very clear example
2:29:47
that does say that when a country accepts in the way that
2:29:50
when a country behaves in a way that is unacceptable, then
2:29:55
Eurovision excuse them, so why not Israel?
2:29:58
She really is a miss Have a little Doom goblin isn't she and
2:30:01
how wonderful to see her.
2:30:04
Adam Curry: I just love kami troll and miserable little Doom
2:30:08
goblin. I like that Doom
2:30:10
Unknown: goblin.
2:30:10
Adam Curry: And and and I think you can pay her to show up. I
2:30:17
think you can pay her. She I think she's paid. Yeah. Why
2:30:21
wouldn't she be these, as you pointed out these these protests
2:30:24
are well organized, they're well funded. I think you can buy
2:30:27
Greta Greta Thun berry to come and protest for you. And in
2:30:30
fact, I'd like to pay her I'd like to make an offer to protest
2:30:33
the podcast industrial complex protest Spotify, I think we can
2:30:39
get her to impair. Anyway, it is clear that what Israel is doing
2:30:46
is way beyond anything they should be doing. I think at this
2:30:49
point, even this show has to agree it's gone a bit far.
2:30:56
John C Dvorak: This Well, since I don't believe any of this
2:30:58
things anyone's telling us?
2:31:00
Adam Curry: We don't I can't believe that
2:31:01
John C Dvorak: we don't really even know. We don't know
2:31:04
anything because they lie. They lie. The information from both
2:31:07
sides of this is a lie. Do you have an update so we can just
2:31:11
have an update. Gaza update
2:31:13
Unknown: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to
2:31:16
push back against criticism Israel is not prepared for a
2:31:19
post war reality in Gaza. Netanyahu basically saying it's
2:31:23
impossible to know what's next until the million chin group
2:31:26
Hamas is defeated. US has been increasingly critical of Israel,
2:31:30
citing a large number of civilian casualties as it ramps
2:31:33
up, it's fighting there. And Biden administration is moving
2:31:36
ahead with a $1 billion arms package for Israel even as the
2:31:39
administration recently halted a planned shipment of 2000 pound
2:31:42
bombs. I
2:31:43
Adam Curry: have a clip that comes from I think this is TRT
2:31:48
Turkish radio and television that I have not heard any of
2:31:51
this information in the United States. And it is the rather
2:31:57
interesting amount of State Department and Defense
2:32:00
Department people who are resigning their jobs over this.
2:32:04
Have you heard anything about this? i
2:32:06
John C Dvorak: Yes, I have. Well, every so often, it's
2:32:09
mentioned in one of these back and forth interviews about these
2:32:12
guys quitting people are quitting the State Department
2:32:14
left and right.
2:32:15
Adam Curry: Well, here we go.
2:32:16
Unknown: On Monday, US Army intelligence officer Major
2:32:19
Harrison man publicly resigned from the Defense Intelligence
2:32:22
Agency by posting a letter on his LinkedIn profile. The
2:32:26
policy that's never been far from my mind for the past six
2:32:30
months is the nearly unqualified support for the Government of
2:32:34
Israel, which has enabled and empowered the killing and
2:32:39
starvation of 10s of 1000s of innocent Palestinians.
2:32:46
A US State Department report released Friday found that
2:32:49
weapons provided by America to Israeli security forces since
2:32:53
October 7, were used in violation of international
2:32:57
humanitarian law.
2:32:58
What we've seen at the same time is those arguments being used to
2:33:01
kill at this point over 34,000 people in Gaza from over 14,000
2:33:06
Children, in many cases, striking targets in which there
2:33:10
was no identified military objective. We have seen rules of
2:33:14
engagement on the part of Israel that seem contrary to you know,
2:33:18
international both military best practice, as well as a commonly
2:33:23
accepted international law when it comes to the principles of
2:33:25
proportionality and discrimination.
2:33:27
Josh Paul, former director of US State Department, Bureau of
2:33:31
political and military affairs, became the highest level US
2:33:34
official to resign just one month after October 7. He says
2:33:39
the administration is avoiding implementing laws that would
2:33:42
prevent military support to Israel
2:33:44
to come to a conclusion similarly, that international
2:33:47
humanitarian law has been violated. There are both laws
2:33:51
and policies in the US that would restrict the flow of arms.
2:33:54
So it is clear, I think that the administration is doing this in
2:33:57
order to continue the flow of arms despite the specific
2:34:00
restrictions that have been placed on shipments of for
2:34:03
example, 2000 pound bombs. And that is why it has not come to
2:34:07
any legally binding conclusions.
2:34:09
Since Paul's resignation. Many more US officials from various
2:34:13
government offices have resigned in protest to the
2:34:16
administration's pro Israel policies.
2:34:18
Adam Curry: I had not heard any of that. I'm glad you did. I was
2:34:21
like, I didn't know that. I know people were resigning left and
2:34:24
right. Is this. Is this now like this $1 billion.
2:34:30
John C Dvorak: Is this think everybody? I don't think they're
2:34:33
all resigning because of this?
2:34:34
Adam Curry: What do you think there was?
2:34:35
John C Dvorak: The Turkish news makes us sad because they're on
2:34:37
one side of the argument. That's
2:34:39
Adam Curry: why I play it. Of course.
2:34:40
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I don't believe that's true. I did
2:34:42
sounds that because this has been going on for a while.
2:34:44
They're just fed up with the system at the State Department.
2:34:48
They don't like Blink and there's a lot of reasons to
2:34:50
quit. And that one that was exemplified on that particular
2:34:54
clip was it was a guy with the DEI which is not State
2:34:58
Department.
2:34:58
Adam Curry: Here's what I here's what I don't know. Understand
2:35:01
Dei,
2:35:02
John C Dvorak: but Department of Defense Intelligence. Yeah.
2:35:04
Adam Curry: So so we know that the numbers come the the news
2:35:08
has been reporting the numbers from the Hamas agency. So we
2:35:12
have no idea how correct that is. But I think the it's
2:35:18
intentional, but I wonder why they're doing it. Why do they
2:35:21
keep saying it's a genocide? Because the genocide implies
2:35:25
that you just want to wipe all the people out? I don't think
2:35:29
there's any evidence of that they may be wiping them out. But
2:35:33
there has to be intent behind genocide. And it's feels like
2:35:39
you're you're creating a friction point of interpretation
2:35:44
that has nothing to do with dead people. You know what I mean?
2:35:48
Like, why did it why did the protesters harp on that? Why did
2:35:51
why does it all has to be genocide, which of course is
2:35:54
polarized and because of the Jewish Holocaust genocide, which
2:35:59
some would say supposedly, in World War Two. It's like a brain
2:36:04
fry. You know what I mean? It doesn't make any sense to attack
2:36:08
with that as your main point. Am I Am I overthinking this?
2:36:15
John C Dvorak: I'm not gonna say you're overthinking it. But I'm
2:36:17
kind of surprised. You're stunned and shocked by the
2:36:21
misuse of the terms to get to make a political point, given
2:36:25
political point. I don't know it seems to be working. Look at the
2:36:30
turnout for it is debatable, but it's a t shirt. Definitely. It
2:36:35
seems to me that you got a lot of people in the street. Oh,
2:36:39
tons
2:36:39
Adam Curry: of people. And it's so bad that let me see. We got
2:36:44
to go after poor Jerry Seinfeld.
2:36:47
Unknown: A moment to celebrate achievement, becoming another
2:36:50
chance to protest the war in Gaza. After a turbulent spring.
2:36:53
multiple universities facing disruption at graduation,
2:36:57
including Duke. Dozens of students walked out on Jerry
2:37:01
Seinfeld's commencement address Sunday. The comedian was later
2:37:07
cheered.
2:37:10
I say, use your privilege. I grew up a Jewish boy from New
2:37:15
York. That is a privilege if you want to be a
2:37:18
Adam Curry: comedian. Now explain that to me. But he's
2:37:22
being a Jewish boy in New York privileged because
2:37:25
John C Dvorak: of us assume? Yes, because Jewish comics in
2:37:29
the comedy community are always seen as naturally superior
2:37:34
because they're brought up in a culture of telling gags and
2:37:37
jokes. So it gives you a bit of an advantage because you can
2:37:40
deliver material when you're little. And again, right to your
2:37:45
older. I mean, if you ever known anyone has a Jewish person who
2:37:48
has who is at the dinner table that is one of these New Yorkers
2:37:53
that likes to tell them, do jokes do material, they'll just
2:37:56
go don't take it to the fantastic. Now I want to mention
2:38:00
something about this walkout. There were 20 I think it was 25.
2:38:05
It was like 2500 or more people, or no 20,000 I think was 20,000
2:38:11
people at this big commencement date. Here's Seinfeld and 40
2:38:14
walked out. And that became news. It's just bullcrap news,
2:38:17
so they started to
2:38:18
Adam Curry: applaud him later, I stopped the report. But yeah, it
2:38:21
is. I mean, he has a movie to promote, which I tried to watch
2:38:24
and was kind of tedious. It's supposed to be mediocre. Yeah,
2:38:28
it was. It was okay. A lot of a lot of famous people in it,
2:38:31
which made it kind of funny, but then there was this whole kind
2:38:34
of like January 11th thing for 20 minutes that bugged me. You
2:38:38
know, it's like, you know, free the pop tart or whatever.
2:38:43
John C Dvorak: Well, thanks. Well watch it.
2:38:45
Adam Curry: You don't don't want to watch it. I got one more. No,
2:38:48
actually, let's move on, because we have the big news of the day
2:38:52
we haven't even discussed. But it comes on the heels of this
2:38:56
news.
2:38:57
Unknown: After years of warning China President Biden put his
2:39:00
pen where his mouth is today, quadrupling the tariff on
2:39:04
Chinese EVs from 25% to 100%.
2:39:08
I'm determined that the future of electric vehicles will be
2:39:11
made in America by union workers.
2:39:16
The move comes as EVs from Chinese automaker, BYD gained
2:39:20
traction around the world at about half the price of US made
2:39:25
cars.
2:39:25
One thing that my grandfather used to always tell me are good
2:39:29
things aren't cheap and cheap. Things aren't good.
2:39:31
Dorian Jimenez, a Chevy dealership in Oklahoma City.
2:39:35
I'm glad that our government is going that direction and the
2:39:38
more things that we can keep in house the greater can be for us.
2:39:41
Biden's
2:39:42
hikes apply to far more than EVs, Chinese steel and aluminum
2:39:47
will be hit with a 25% tariff. Solar Panel sales will go to 50%
2:39:53
and so will Chinese syringes and needles.
2:39:56
Biden finally listen to me he listens to me former
2:40:00
President Donald Trump hiked tariffs on a much broader swath
2:40:03
of Chinese goods in 2018. At the time, Biden argued that would
2:40:08
spark a trade war raising costs for everyone.
2:40:12
We're going after the wrong thing with China.
2:40:16
Adam Curry: So what is round? Well,
2:40:18
John C Dvorak: he's a big way this is some another Hail Mary
2:40:22
that since administration is trying to pull well we
2:40:24
Adam Curry: know it can't do that because of the Mexican like
2:40:28
the you know, the free trade.
2:40:29
John C Dvorak: I don't know what the I know the cars down there
2:40:31
but beat but but taxing the EVS from China 100% or whatever he's
2:40:36
supposed to do. What? Electric cars from China? Have you ever
2:40:40
seen an electric car from China in this country? No. There's not
2:40:45
one any here. What would you what are you taxing nothing.
2:40:47
Now,
2:40:48
Adam Curry: what are the tax on steel and aluminum? Yeah, but
2:40:52
John C Dvorak: that's just a that's a minus 25 percents, not
2:40:54
the same as 100%. But this is Trump 100%. This
2:40:58
Adam Curry: is all Trump policy. Everyone knows it. Which, by the
2:41:01
way, I heard an analysis that his tariffs really didn't do
2:41:05
anything that didn't have a lot of effect actually. Just raise
2:41:11
prices on stuff.
2:41:12
John C Dvorak: Then you said this was the spoken news. I
2:41:16
thought you were going to talk about the clip I have, which was
2:41:19
the Biden Trump debate.
2:41:22
Adam Curry: No, I said, that's a precursor to this right.
2:41:27
Unknown: Here in Washoe County, Nevada, home to Reno, Republican
2:41:31
Tracy Helton, I'm
2:41:32
Adam Curry: sorry, that's the wrong. That's the wrong clip.
2:41:34
No, I have what I'm sure you have the clip. Where's the clip?
2:41:38
The Trump Biden debate clip. Where is it?
2:41:40
John C Dvorak: Biden's under Biden? Yes. Oh,
2:41:43
Adam Curry: you have NTD Oh, that's interesting.
2:41:45
Unknown: After some quick back and forth Biden and Trump now
2:41:47
both agreed to two debates, the first one by CNN happening in
2:41:52
just six weeks on June 27. And another one by ABC on September
2:41:56
10. It brought him on Wednesday afternoon said he's looking
2:41:59
forward to these debates while denying that he's doing one so
2:42:02
early in June because he's worried about his polling. But
2:42:06
Trump's now asking for four debates in total, including one
2:42:09
by Fox on October 2, saying Americans need to hear more
2:42:12
about inflation, the border and chaos in the world. Biden's
2:42:16
campaign meanwhile slamming the door for more debates, Trump of
2:42:19
playing games and insisting that Biden only wants to one on one
2:42:23
debates. Here's Biden in the video on Wednesday morning watch
2:42:27
Donald
2:42:27
Trump was to debates to me. 20 20% said he hadn't shown up
2:42:30
for debate. Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again will
2:42:34
make my day pal. I'll even do it twice
2:42:37
and the formats of these debates are still being debated and
2:42:40
could surprise many. Trump says he wants large venues to make
2:42:43
him more exciting. While Biden's campaign wants no live audience
2:42:46
saying noisy spectacles are unhelpful. The June CNN debate,
2:42:50
for example, won't have an audience and will also be the
2:42:53
earliest televised presidential debate on record. It also marks
2:42:56
the first time that candidates break away from the bipartisan
2:42:59
group that has run these debates for decades. It's also the first
2:43:03
time the debates are said before either candidates becomes the
2:43:06
official party nominee. While the surprises come as Biden and
2:43:09
Trump are ready exchanging fire though not yet onstage.
2:43:12
Adam Curry: So before we discuss this, I want to play two clips
2:43:15
one because I'm disappointed MTD left off the so called kicker
2:43:19
joke. Of Biden's ad here it is Donald
2:43:23
Unknown: Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. The sense that he
2:43:26
hadn't shown up for debate now he's acting like he wants to
2:43:28
debate me again. Will Make My Day pal. I'll even do it twice.
2:43:33
So let's pick the day style. I hear you're free on Wednesdays.
2:43:37
Adam Curry: So the free on Wednesdays. Is that like that's
2:43:39
one of theirs prison prison visitation. Is that the joke?
2:43:42
No,
2:43:42
John C Dvorak: no, no, no Wednesday and the New York case
2:43:46
is the day that the court takes off.
2:43:49
Adam Curry: Okay, now I want to play the NBC report about this
2:43:53
so called agreement to debate and then we
2:43:55
Unknown: shall discuss tonight The stage is set for the first
2:43:58
TV confrontation between President Biden and former
2:44:00
President Trump in more than three years, the agreement
2:44:04
punctuating a dizzying day of deal making. And posting this
2:44:07
video responding to weeks of pressure from Mr. Trump for a
2:44:11
debate.
2:44:12
Donald Trump was two debates to me in 2020. The Senate said he
2:44:15
hadn't shown up for debate. Now he's acting like he wants to
2:44:17
debate me again will make my day Powell
2:44:20
the president taunting his rival over his Manhattan hush money
2:44:23
trial. That's kept him in court four days a
2:44:26
week. First pick the days Donald, I hear you're free on
2:44:29
Wednesday.
2:44:30
There are traditionally three debates the president offering
2:44:33
to Mr. Trump, who refused all of the primary debates, quickly
2:44:37
saying yes and pushing for more writing. I'm ready and willing
2:44:40
to debate crooked Joe at the two proposed times. I would strongly
2:44:44
recommend more than two debates and for excitement purposes, a
2:44:47
very large venue. Just tell me when I'll be there. Within hours
2:44:52
a pair of debate dates were set one in late June another in
2:44:56
September, both sides bypassing the Commission on Presidential
2:44:59
Debates. Proposal for three false showdowns. President
2:45:02
Biden's decision comes after former President Trump
2:45:05
repeatedly challenged him to debate. You can
2:45:08
see we have an empty podium right here to my right. You know
2:45:13
what that is? That's for Joe Biden. I'm trying to get him to
2:45:15
debate
2:45:16
in an already unprecedented campaign, the first crucial
2:45:19
clash now the earliest in modern history.
2:45:22
Adam Curry: So this does prove, obviously, that politics is show
2:45:26
business for Ugly people. Your thoughts on this, John?
2:45:29
John C Dvorak: Well, first of all, is something that no one
2:45:31
none of these analysts have picked up on. Is the real reason
2:45:36
Joe wants no audience. Because the Democrats just a Democrat,
2:45:41
Senator thing, it's gonna be CNN, it's gonna be two people.
2:45:44
Two people, both of them have called Trump Hitler, both of
2:45:47
them. Yeah, Tapper and Dana Bash. And so the reason he has
2:45:52
to have no audience because they get to loaded up with a bunch of
2:45:55
pro Biden people who would be fine, is you can't hear the ear
2:45:59
way.
2:46:01
Adam Curry: You can't hear the IFBB. Exactly,
2:46:03
John C Dvorak: exactly. He's gonna have a piece deep in his
2:46:07
ear. It's gonna be one of those canal items, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe,
2:46:10
Joe. And then it probably is going to probably be talking to
2:46:15
it, but you can't hear it. If you're in a giant crowd that are
2:46:19
all clapping and hooting and hollering you won't be able to
2:46:21
pick up the cues. Joe is going to be talked to through the
2:46:25
whole thing. And he's going to be repeating what the things
2:46:28
were whoever is talking to him. This is a scam.
2:46:31
Adam Curry: Yes. And, of course, it's an entertainment. Gambit,
2:46:37
to get some money for Disney. And for a scene by the way. It's
2:46:43
kind of a joke to say me, we don't want an audience on CNN
2:46:46
because they don't have an audience. So that's not, that's
2:46:49
not very hard. It's just, I mean, what is there? Do they
2:46:55
think they can do something here? I understand they want the
2:46:58
microphones muted while the other person is talking. But
2:47:01
what kind of debate is this? It's not a debate.
2:47:10
John C Dvorak: gonna sell it'll be entertained. Like you said,
2:47:12
it's entertainment. It'll
2:47:13
Adam Curry: be it'll be Bonanza ratings. It'll be fantastic.
2:47:17
Well,
2:47:17
John C Dvorak: for CNN, they always have their get a big
2:47:19
number. So what is they can they can't sell into it? It's not
2:47:23
part of their, you know, they can't use that as a package sale
2:47:26
or anything. This is just a big bump in their numbers for one
2:47:29
day. And all the other networks are demanding that CNN because
2:47:35
they because ABC has already agreed to this, that they allow
2:47:38
the other people to carry the feed. Oh, no, no, no, you had to
2:47:43
No, no, no, we don't want to do that. Because they want to get
2:47:46
their number super high. But that makes sense. Most media
2:47:49
people's think that they're going to be they're going to be
2:47:53
hounded into sharing the feed as it because it is just a national
2:47:58
thing. It should share the feed. So it'll show up maybe on all
2:48:01
the networks and then CNN won't get that bump.
2:48:06
Adam Curry: I think it was a good move though. I think they I
2:48:09
think it for the for the Biden camp. I think they made a move
2:48:12
and it was a bold one. Because they know they're guys retarded.
2:48:17
They do. But it was a bold move and I think it put Trump on it
2:48:20
on on his hind leg for a second I think he has to figure it
2:48:23
John C Dvorak: out and they're gonna jet Jack Jack him up with
2:48:25
it ever they give him for this State of the Union.
2:48:30
Adam Curry: Now you don't think that that there's something here
2:48:32
that there could be a quick switcheroo a gambit afoot? You
2:48:35
know something that we swap it out in comes Gavin Newsom.
2:48:40
John C Dvorak: The thinking again goes to the following as
2:48:43
the in the following way. They want to do this debate early
2:48:47
enough, like in June, to prevent like a switcheroo during the
2:48:52
convention or anything yet because Biden will be
2:48:53
established now he's you know, no matter what you think, no.
2:48:58
Adam Curry: Oh, so it's a it's a it's a defensive move against a
2:49:01
strife inside the Democrat camp.
2:49:04
John C Dvorak: That's what's one analysis would have. Yeah, I
2:49:07
think that's exactly right. So you put him up there. He's
2:49:10
already now he's, you know, we can't just switch him out now.
2:49:13
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's okay. That makes that makes sense. No
2:49:16
matter what happens. They can't swap him out. Okay, well, it'll
2:49:21
be great. You know what's great about it, it's on a Wednesday.
2:49:24
It's good for the show. We love that.
2:49:28
Unknown: I'm gonna show us move by donating to no agenda.
2:49:31
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be
2:49:34

souls just turned 102 Are Jessica Livingstone was at the

for St. Mary's for more than two decades. She sorts papers and
3:00:13
does what she calls the grunt work because she says it's what
3:00:16
keeps her going. Give
3:00:18
yourself community gives back to you. So it works two ways. To me
3:00:25
volunteering is really very important. Shirley's
3:00:28
life is a whirlwind with heirlooms for hospice on
3:00:30
Mondays, St. Mary's on Wednesday and lunch with her friends on
3:00:34
Friday. But she was confides she could be busier in case you're
3:00:38
looking for a volunteer. So
3:00:40
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I'm booked, but I'm open for
3:00:43
Tuesday and Thursday if anybody's aware.
3:00:46
Anyone hoping to make it as far as she has, she shares this life
3:00:50
advice, but

3:00:56
