Thursday May 23 2020 for this year award winning give our
0:07
nation media assassination episode 1616
0:10
Unknown: This is no agenda
0:13
Adam Curry: going trends Mao is man broadcasting live from the
0:17
heart of the country here and FEMA Region number six. Morning
0:21
everybody I'm Adam curry and
0:23
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all
0:25
worried about the TS MC Kill Switch I'm Jessie
0:33
Adam Curry: kill the TSMC at work he'll fridge
0:39
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I was reading about this this morning
0:41
actually.
0:42
Adam Curry: Is this the thing on cars?
0:44
John C Dvorak: No, no, it's this is the the Taiwan semiconductor
0:48
manufacturing company who makes 90% go Yeah. How did this
0:52
happen? How did this happen? 90% of all the high end chips are
0:56
made in Taiwan. And that and the company that provides most of
1:00
the gear is again How did this happen? Located in Holland?
1:06
Yeah. ASML ASML that well, they make
1:11
Adam Curry: photography don't they make the Lithgow they
1:13
John C Dvorak: make the altra UVC. Yes. Yeah. Nobody else
1:17
seems to be able to do
1:18
Adam Curry: Yeah, I know. Go Dutch. And
1:22
John C Dvorak: so the Dutch a lot of people go Dutch so they
1:28
they have it was unknown to me but they have a kill switch.
1:32
This
1:32
Adam Curry: I did not and all their gear. The Dutch have a
1:35
kill switch.
1:36
John C Dvorak: Yeah. And so they if China takes over the island,
1:41
all that gear that said TSMC will remotely be ruined. Just
1:48
with real it's just Yeah. Isn't that interesting?
1:51
Adam Curry: Where did you hear this from?
1:53
John C Dvorak: It was in the trades. I read it in the
1:55
Adam Curry: trade. Billboard which which trade?
1:59
John C Dvorak: industry trade manufacturing news,
2:02
Adam Curry: Hollywood Reporter huh? Well, I know that the Dutch
2:05
that was a big focus, because the Dutch government told ASML
2:11
like, Hey, you guys, you know you can't x if we say you can't
2:14
export you can't export to certain countries like China and
2:19
Russia. Yeah, exactly. And and the company was like, well,
2:22
who's in charge here? And the government went yeah, you but
2:27
the so they have a kill switch on all the gear because they
2:30
exported the actual gear, right. The
2:33
John C Dvorak: gear? Yes. We export the gear and then Taiwan
2:37
has probably the lion's share of it. And there's a backdoor I
2:42
guess they can just remotely over the internet killed the
2:46
gear. I think it's the contract that shouldn't shy
2:50
Adam Curry: away. Then the Taiwan should disconnect their
2:53
gear from the internet. Hello,
2:56
John C Dvorak: I'm sure it's part of the contract. They have
2:57
the gear in the first place so you can be sure it's in there.
3:00
Adam Curry: I mean, everything has a kill switch these days.
3:04
You know the cars have kill switches. It's a kill switch
3:09
bonanza. Did you know they have a new president in in Taiwan?
3:15
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this dude, he's a pro independence guy.
3:18
Unknown: Here's the guy. New precedent fly Ching tear
3:21
inherits not just the office, but the intricate web of
3:24
challenges that comes with it. Yes at home. He faces a
3:28
fractured parliament, with no party holding a majority.
3:33
Internationally, he faces significant challenges, even
3:37
though he has offered to meet Xi Jinping for talks. It's also
3:40
pledged to defend the island saying it's only the people who
3:45
can decide to Taiwan's future, Beijing has repeatedly labeled
3:49
him a dangerous separatist military, from China remains fit
3:55
presents. Even why Ally has been preparing for Office. Beijing
3:59
has been ramping up drills in the region as both a reminder of
4:03
their military might and political intentions. You see
4:07
Adam Curry: those guys? I love it when they when they fight in
4:09
Parliament. They knock on each other in the head that throwing
4:12
them off chairs, dragging them on the floor. All we get is the
4:16
John C Dvorak: Taiwanese Parliament uses like a bloodbath
4:20
is great
4:20
Adam Curry: and all we get is baby girl your eyelash hauls we
4:24
get like what it was what is that version? Now those guys are
4:27
do it for real and bam. knock you out saga. By the way,
4:31
where'd this guy go to school? This Taiwanese president where
4:35
Harvard? The course he's a stooge. He's one of our students
4:39
John C Dvorak: because he is he's one of our stooges do quiz
4:44
and
4:45
Adam Curry: I will we're waiting for Georgia to implode. I'm sure
4:48
we've got stooges all over that place, as in Georgia as in the
4:51
country. Well,
4:52
John C Dvorak: that's been amazing. Now we have today
4:54
there's the big meeting between Biden and the guy who runs
4:59
Kenya. Yeah, Ruto and this is like ridiculous like this is the
5:04
best we can do is Kenya, Kenya, Kenya, whatever how you want to
5:08
pronounce
5:09
Adam Curry: Kenya have anything of value for us. But
5:11
John C Dvorak: it must but I think it's strategic more than
5:14
anything right in the middle there. I went I was in Kenya.
5:18
Oh, here
5:19
Adam Curry: we go. Here we go everybody drink
5:23
John C Dvorak: this is like this is this country's is a nightmare
5:27
and and so we were headed to South Africa, the family and
5:34
we're going to South Africa for a meeting and we had a stopover
5:38
Adam Curry: for a meeting of the ICC and what what does that
5:40
family do
5:42
John C Dvorak: for our family meeting? So we're we stop in
5:45
Kenya and we're at the airport waiting. And a couple of things
5:48
happen. One is I had a this was a while ago, so I had these
5:51
cassettes to listen to and those were stolen, which I made a fuss
5:55
about and I got him back. Ah, stop.
5:59
Adam Curry: Stop, stop, stop, stop. Now were these your disco
6:01
cassettes who stole them? What happened?
6:06
John C Dvorak: They disappeared from the overhead. We were out
6:09
of the plane for a minute for some reason. And we're in the
6:12
airport and they got stolen and I made a huge fuss about this
6:16
and I got them back. And the guest says you shouldn't leave
6:19
anything in a when you take these breaks into Africa because
6:22
that's like a year's salary for somebody one audio cassette. I
6:26
said okay. But the thing that part of the reason for this
6:30
story as you go you're sick. We're sitting in the airport
6:33
lounge waiting for the to get back on the plane. And the
6:38
Kenyan army foreign army guys are in there shaking down
6:46
passengers and robbing them one after the other. Wow. In the
6:50
airport.
6:50
Adam Curry: How did they shake you down for your best event
6:52
ever
6:53
John C Dvorak: got to us before we got back on the plane. You
6:57
know, my make eye contact was so low kids. They were literally
7:02
stealing people's money at the airport, the Kenyan army. I said
7:07
this is a terrible country. Wow. And I was glad to get out of
7:10
there. But this was probably a while ago. It was 30 years ago.
7:15
Yeah. Okay. Oh, it's changed.
7:17
Adam Curry: I think here the place is great. Now. It's
7:20
changed. It's really shaped up a lot is groovy now. Yes. All
7:24
right. So so that is Biden's big. Foreign Policy Kenya.
7:29
John C Dvorak: Yes. I do have a clip on this. I might. Kenya
7:33
Adam Curry: who has Kenya. Oh, yes, you do. Oh, let's let's
7:36
chase away the audience right at the top of the show. Good one
7:39
was
7:39
John C Dvorak: it's taking place here in the US of A so let's see
7:42
what happens. The Biden
7:43
Unknown: administration is rolling out the red carpet for
7:45
Kenya's president. Who's beginning a three day state
7:48
visit to Washington. NPRs Michele Kelemen reports.
7:52
Relations
7:52
with Kenya have gone from a regional partnership to a global
7:56
one. According to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
7:59
This
8:00
is the first state visit by an African Head of State in nearly
8:04
20 years. It is long overdue.
8:07
He says President Biden and Kenyan President William Ruto
8:11
will announce new partnerships and emerging technologies and
8:14
more on security cooperation. That includes in Haiti, where
8:18
the US will be offering logistics, to a Kenyan led
8:22
international force. The long overdue mission is meant to
8:25
stabilize Haiti now wracked by gang violence.
8:28
Adam Curry: It's about barbecue. I see. By the way, I don't think
8:31
that's true. There was first in 20 years, there was a huge
8:35
African contingent I remember this maybe 10 years ago.
8:38
Remember that all with all kinds of African heads of state? heads
8:43
on sticks.
8:44
John C Dvorak: The best you can do is 15 years ago, somebody
8:46
came over and said, Hello. So this is about Kenya is going to
8:51
be bringing army over to take care of Haiti. Yeah, but the way
8:57
they put it Oh, yeah. For for a technology with a kid.
9:04
Adam Curry: Yeah, foam finger number one. Hello. Hello, Haiti.
9:06
We're coming. We're coming for our elites have wanted Haiti so
9:10
bad for so long. You know, let's face it, the Clinton Foundation
9:14
messed it up. They were supposed to have control of it. And then
9:19
somehow that slipped through their fingers after they, after
9:23
they got the gold contracts and took all the children. We
9:26
haven't forgotten. I
9:28
John C Dvorak: mean, that potential for casinos,
9:30
especially in the north part of the island. Carnival Cruise was
9:34
beautiful plants. It's
9:36
Adam Curry: an obvious place. If it wasn't for the
9:38
John C Dvorak: damn Haitians. Yeah, barbecue. Annoying.
9:42
Adam Curry: Well, let's get to the big news of the day. This
9:44
was without a doubt the big news big, big, big, big news. We're
9:47
Unknown: learning more about the severe turbulence on a passenger
9:50
plane from London to Asia. One man was killed and images show
9:55
just how chaotic things got inside that cabin. And we are
9:59
now hearing from the airlines CEO ABCs Christiane Cordero has
10:02
more on this Christiane Good morning,
10:04
Rhiannon Good morning to you this kind of turbulence has been
10:07
on the rise experts say one factor, maybe climate change.
10:13
Adam Curry: Climate change now I love these reports because
10:16
John C Dvorak: yeah cuz true by the way Tribulus has never
10:18
happened before climate change.
10:20
Adam Curry: I'm going to give you a whole I got a whole report
10:22
I got a whole rundown on this because I'm tired of this
10:24
nonsense. And by the way, one man was killed. He died of a
10:28
heart attack it said, but he died of a heart attack. He
10:31
wasn't killed. It was not a pretty scene. Absolutely. Which
10:35
is a reminder. How many times do we have to see it just like we
10:39
do up here in the cockpit. When you're in your seat, keep your
10:42
seatbelt buckled. Don't think that you've got a free ride
10:45
here. Keep your seatbelt buckled. It's that simple. A
10:49
Unknown: Singapore Airlines flight with us as Reuters, by
10:52
the way hit but severe turbulence and Tuesday, flinging
10:55
passengers and crew around the cabin and forcing the plane to
10:59
make an emergency landing in Bangkok. dozens were injured.
11:04
One died of a suspected heart attack suspected what happened
11:08
what happened it appears that the flights entered an air
11:11
pocket. There are also reports that there were some storms
11:14
nearby
11:16
Adam Curry: some of the turbulence so this is kind of
11:19
where I caught my attention like Oh, because they're talking wind
11:23
shear clear air turbulence, climate change. And then there's
11:27
this little report that everyone kept repeating over and over and
11:32
over Reuters again,
11:34
Unknown: climate change be making air turbulence more
11:37
common and severe. The death of one passenger and injuries to
11:41
others on a Singapore Airlines flight has underlined the
11:45
potential dangers of severe turbulence in particular.
11:49
Airline ratings editor in chief Geoffrey Thomas turbulence is
11:53
becoming
11:54
Adam Curry: more prevalent as climate changes. And the
11:57
university's research in the United Kingdom has shown that
12:00
over the last 40 years, severe turbulence has increased by
12:04
55% 55 55%. Oh no, this climate change must be stopped. What is
12:12
it doing NBC breaking
12:14
Unknown: this morning after that dramatic turbulence onboard
12:16
Singapore Airlines flight 321, the airline's CEO is speaking
12:21
out. We're deeply saddened by this incident, that extreme
12:25
turbulence wreaks havoc inside the plane, injuring dozens of
12:29
passengers and flight attendants. Some critically so
12:32
called clear air turbulence, often appearing close to the jet
12:35
stream is very difficult to predict. And researchers say
12:38
climate change has made wind shear much stronger. Yes.
12:43
Adam Curry: And so now we're not sure was it clear air
12:45
turbulence? Were they in a storm? Is it wind shear? Maybe
12:49
the CBC can help us out? Paul
12:51
Unknown: Williams is an atmospheric scientist at Reading
12:53
University in England. Are we seeing an increase in
12:57
turbulence?
12:58
I think so. This started out as a theory we had about 10 years
13:04
ago, we were running atmospheric simulations, computer
13:08
simulations of the future.
13:10
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Now standby, because we got some
13:12
modeling going on here.
13:14
Unknown: And they were indicating that the amount of
13:17
severe clear air turbulence was going to double or treble in the
13:23
next few decades, because of climate change. And more
13:28
recently, last year, we published a study that confirmed
13:31
that, in fact, those increases have already begun.
13:34
Adam Curry: I love how they published a study that confirms
13:36
that we looked back at historical data. That's No, no
13:39
actual evidence. There's no actual evidence, they just
13:42
published a study that confirmed it
13:44
Unknown: confirmed that, in fact, those increases have
13:46
already begun, looked back at historic data, going back to
13:51
1979, which is when satellites first began observing the jet
13:55
stream. And when we crunched those numbers, we found that
13:58
rather than 1979 to the present day, there has already been a
14:02
55% increase in the amount of severe turbulence. So I think
14:07
those increases from climate change have already begun and
14:10
are only set to continue into the future if the climate
14:13
continues to change as we expect it to.
14:15
Adam Curry: So this is your pet peeve. Your pet peeve is 55%. Of
14:20
what? So exactly sounds very severe this 55% Oh my god, we're
14:27
all going to die. Luckily, CBC kept this guy on the phone, or
14:32
on the Skype on the zoom for about 12 minutes. If you didn't
14:36
fall asleep. By the end, he lets us know what's really going on.
14:42
Unknown: severe turbulence is rare, and it even will remain
14:45
rare. If it doubles or triples. Something like 1/10 of 1% of the
14:50
atmosphere at fly cruising levels has to be a turbulence in
14:53
it. So you take naught point 1% and double it or triple it. It's
14:56
still only point two or point 3% of the chance of your flight
15:00
hitting that little tiny part of the atmosphere is really is
15:04
really tiny, just keep your seatbelt fastened, and then try
15:07
and have a nice flight. So
15:09
Adam Curry: 0.1% of the air is has severe turbulence. But
15:16
because it's 55% increase, it's only like 0.2% now. So there's
15:23
not that much to be afraid of, especially if you realize that
15:28
this was not clear air turbulence. This is what it was
15:32
Unknown: the Boeing triple seven was flying from London to
15:34
Singapore, when it hits sudden turbulence on the edge of a
15:37
powerful storm, flight radar 24 data shows the plane suddenly
15:42
pushed up and down, like a violent wave at 37,000 feet,
15:47
then a controlled emergency descent to 31,000 feet and an
15:52
emergency landing, they
15:53
Adam Curry: were flying over the ITC z which every big, heavy
15:59
aircraft pilot knows is the intertropical convergence zone.
16:03
This is where this is right by the equator. This is where you
16:06
get these two jet streams converging. This is where
16:08
particularly July January, you get big storms. And that's what
16:14
they flew into. This has nothing to do with clear air turbulence
16:18
from climate change. It's nonsense. It's not fun and fun
16:23
if you're in the in the plane. But this is big scare tactics.
16:28
And once again, hype climate change. And I spent several days
16:34
this week putting together our Sunday special, which will be a
16:38
climate change special.
16:40
John C Dvorak: And this would be the second time we've done it
16:42
climate change special I'd like people to compare it to the old
16:45
one. Well,
16:46
Adam Curry: buted climate change clips. And I did us reading and
16:51
talking about climate change, almost it'll be different won't
16:55
exactly almost no clips. So because of Cirque de nonnamous
16:59
being it.io. If you haven't seen being adata, you can search
17:03
every single episode of the no agenda show. Going back to the
17:06
first episode. When you see the transcript, you can highlight a
17:10
piece of the transcript, click the Clip button and it creates
17:13
an embeddable clip actually creates an embeddable clip with
17:16
a video with with the captions. And with the show art, it's
17:22
really phenomenal what he's done.
17:24
John C Dvorak: It's phenomena it is actually good debt, which is
17:27
why I'm sending you more show notes now knowing that I'll go
17:29
into this database. So yeah, I
17:32
Adam Curry: just fun to do. So. I started episode one, we
17:36
actually the first episode we talked about, and I only only
17:40
search for global warming, I didn't search for climate
17:42
change, because it was global warming. We're talking almost 17
17:45
years ago, you could
17:46
John C Dvorak: do another five hours using searching for
17:49
climate change. I didn't
17:51
Adam Curry: get past episode 100. And I had the show done.
17:56
John C Dvorak: And yeah, and what I did the same thing with
17:58
the clips and what didn't get very far. And
18:00
Adam Curry: what's surprising is that the elements are always the
18:04
same. Banning meat vaccinations, because we also had another bird
18:12
flu, swine flu, trusting the science, if you recall. And I'd
18:17
forgotten this, that the university that had all the base
18:21
climate data, do you remember that they lost all the data
18:24
because they didn't have enough hard drives, and then the data
18:27
got corrupted, and they lost it. So the actual Glee the actual
18:31
basis data that all this nonsense is built upon has been
18:35
lost at stake. Similar, similar to the moon landing recordings,
18:40
oops. And then something one other thing that is very, it
18:47
just keeps coming back. It's the same elements over and over
18:49
again. Huge element and no meat, no meat, by the way. There was
18:53
no talk of burps, it was all cow farts. Sheep farts was
18:59
John C Dvorak: another big Good point. Yep, you're right. I
19:01
remember that period where it was called farts. It was no cow.
19:05
Now it's cow burping.
19:07
Adam Curry: That was sheep farts. You don't hear about that
19:08
anymore. The sheep farts when you remember that? Yeah, it was
19:11
like 12% of, of New Zealand's climate change or global warming
19:15
came from sheep farts. So they made up all kinds of stuff. But
19:19
I pulled a clip as a teaser. And this is a discovery that you
19:23
made on the show. We're going back to Episode 93 from 2000.
19:32
What, what are you making that sound for? Because
19:36
John C Dvorak: 93 That's, that's in the dark ages. But that was
19:40
the show. But that's
19:41
Adam Curry: what's so cool is because this, this is how long
19:43
we've been tracking this nonsense. And we've been
19:46
delivering this as a public service to people. And this one
19:50
I had forgotten about and it's something that you picked up on.
19:53
We're going back to Episode 93 2000 Here we go. You'll be
19:58
amazed by this
19:59
John C Dvorak: New Zealand interview UVC this week, they
20:01
had a complete documentary on power shift. oh nine. Oh, nice.
20:09
Now power shift.org People can go out there and check it out.
20:12
It's a green activists and essentially the government has
20:18
taken over this this particular conference and they loaded it up
20:22
with Obama people. The keynoter was the EPA woman, Paul Podesta,
20:27
the one of the staffers that one of the major staffers, you know,
20:30
Podesta
20:31
Adam Curry: before we knew about Podesta, it's
20:35
John C Dvorak: one of these other guys was gonna look like
20:37
the organizer from the way they had this thing. structured the
20:41
way they did the, the, the show this documentary, Bill Clinton
20:47
was there, there's everybody was loaded up there was loaded up
20:50
with these guys. And here's what I'm watching this thing
20:53
thinking, wow, this is just another then they got all these
20:55
kids. It's a bunch of young people. And they get them all
20:58
pumped up with you know, this green, green, green, green green
21:01
stuff and you know, global warming. And so then they jumped
21:05
to showing some of the behind the scenes seminars, you know,
21:08
they don't always have the breakouts. No, of course. So the
21:11
breakouts are training to kids on civil disobedience, resisting
21:17
arrest, how to do sit in spot properly, how to lock arms for
21:23
how to do passive resistance. Wait a minute, let me get this
21:26
straight. And I want to be an anybody who happens to be one of
21:28
those people. I like to ask a question, since when do does the
21:33
government train the youth to do these sorts of things? That the
21:39
first thing I thought it was either Nazi youth or the Young
21:41
Communist Party, this is training the youth.
21:47
Adam Curry: So I'll bet you a lot of those trainees from 15
21:51
years ago are now in schools teaching the next generation
21:55
this same nonsense. Yep. In fact, we got a boots on the
21:59
ground from New Jersey from Chris, he says, and his his
22:05
daughter, he has two children in the system. He says my oldest
22:08
daughter was in grade school. She's now a sophomore in
22:10
college, but they started with the propaganda. Even before the
22:13
school year started, they would gather all the parents and go
22:16
over the topics they'll be covering. And over the ensuing
22:20
years, my daughter would come home and report on the nonsense
22:23
they'd be pushing. In fact, they showed the here when my daughter
22:27
was in the sixth grade, she came home to let me know she had
22:29
upset the science teacher who was on her soapbox about how
22:32
we're killing polar bears. And of course, this is a no agenda,
22:37
she
22:38
John C Dvorak: will mention there's more polar bears than
22:40
ever exactly, and
22:41
Adam Curry: then forced the class to watch a YouTube video
22:44
titled something about the lone polar bear in the tundra,
22:47
starving to death because of climate change. But the video
22:50
shows an emancipated emaciated bear walking back and forth in
22:55
the snow while the teacher explained the video was shot in
22:57
the deep Arctic wilderness. It was indicative of what all the
23:00
bears looked at. But by the end of the video, my daughter raised
23:03
her hand and said, Hey, if the video was shot on the tundra,
23:05
then why is there a wall and two garbage cans at the edge of the
23:08
frame? I soon received a call from the teacher who didn't
23:13
appreciate being contradicted. I mean, this is horrible what
23:18
they're doing to our children. And I was listening to an
23:24
interview of John Daniel Davidson. He's a senior editor
23:29
at The Federalist I guess he's he's been writing for Wall
23:31
Street Journal, and, you know, all kinds of mainstream
23:35
publications for 20 years, and he came out with a book called a
23:40
pagan America and the decline of Christianity and the dark age to
23:43
come. And I just had to share some of his thinking on the
23:47
topic, please give
23:48
Unknown: us some examples of how this is breaking down and how
23:51
pagan is paganistic elements are being introduced to these big
23:55
companies like Google and I've seen different things taking
23:58
place like this with Yeah,
24:00
you start with this. I mean, some of that is is is the
24:03
obvious stuff, climate changes and environmentalism as as a
24:06
modern form of, of nature, worship, corporate culture and
24:10
corporate America shot through with this stuff. Now, the way
24:14
mains our mainstream society talks about climate change, and
24:18
environmentalism is fundamentally religious because
24:22
because of the importance that they place on it, right? We you
24:25
have people saying, You, you, you shouldn't have children. You
24:29
shouldn't we shouldn't form families, arguing for policies
24:33
that will bring absolute misery and ruination to
24:40
Adam Curry: as good as
24:42
Unknown: people are comfortable kind of talking about policies
24:46
that will result in the deaths of millions and millions of
24:49
people, famine and starvation. For the sake of what I would
24:55
argue is a religious idea, right that we that we owe you The
25:00
Earth something and we need to sacrifice ourselves to Gaia, we
25:05
need to sacrifice our human flourishing to this other being
25:10
which is the earth. So, and this is where it gets tricky because
25:13
these people are not going to say I worship the earth. I am a
25:18
devotee of Gaia.
25:20
Adam Curry: So I'm like, Yeah, that makes sense, you'll follow
25:23
the science and we have to save the Earth admits it's replacing
25:27
it's a religion for people who are all in on this going back
25:31
decades, that's just witnessed in our religion,
25:34
John C Dvorak: we've talked about it being a religion, but
25:36
then he goes on a property as much as anyone but
25:39
Adam Curry: then he goes one step further.
25:41
Unknown: So we have we have environmentalism or climate
25:44
changes, as as a modern form of, of pagan religion, we have
25:49
transgenderism, which is a, a modern form of paganism or devil
25:55
worship throughout pagan cultures of the past, this
25:58
notion of, of changing sexes or gender bending has been a
26:03
feature of various pagan deities in various cultures, throughout
26:07
human history. And it's remarkably consistent. The idea
26:11
that, that a pagan deity could do this in and of itself and do
26:15
it to other people, is has always been associated with
26:21
certain date deities, right. So again, are transgender activists
26:26
going to say like, going to come out and say, I'm a devotee of
26:31
you know, this Persian goddess or or of this, you know,
26:34
Mesopotamian God, probably not, most of them are not going to,
26:41
but they will functionally be engaged in very old practices
26:47
that are pagan fundamentally. But more broadly, as I mentioned
26:52
earlier, transgenderism is really a kind of a subset of
26:56
transhumanism, which posits that, that we can create
26:59
ourselves and we can we can become like gods, that we are
27:04
Gods, that that we are not limited by reality, or by
27:10
biological reality. Men can become women, women can become
27:15
in or we can become neither. And that we are, we have that power,
27:21
as of a deity.
27:23
Adam Curry: Okay, so I'm following him there, but the
27:25
transhumanism part, I was like, oh, yeah, we kind of forgot I
27:28
forgot about that about oh, yeah, it's all part of the
27:30
transhumanist agenda, and the neural link and all this stuff,
27:34
and then he winds up with this one. And
27:37
Unknown: where I think that is headed, and where I argue at the
27:40
end of the book, when I talk about artificial intelligence,
27:45
in the trans transhumanist movement, you know, because
27:47
always because because what starts with self worship always
27:50
ends up projecting out to something else. So the
27:54
transhumanist movement is not going to end with with just
27:58
saying, We're all gods and we can, we can determine what we
28:02
want to be because we are deities, there's going to be an
28:06
external object that ends up ends up becoming the object of
28:09
worship. And in the case of transhumanism, it's going to be
28:12
artificial intelligence. And you can already see the ways that
28:15
this is taking shape, the most, the most vocal and prominent
28:20
transhumanists have already come out and all that all that said
28:25
in their words, and especially in their actions, we need to
28:28
turn over decisions about our lives, to these AI algorithms
28:32
that will tell us what to do and will tell us how to be happy and
28:36
will enable us to live forever.
28:38
Adam Curry: And I gotta tell you the amount of times that I've
28:40
heard some tech weasel talk about that how AI of like, Elon
28:45
Musk, go, no AI is going to create a god. I've heard Joe
28:48
Rogan say, oh, you know, AI, we just need AI that tells us what
28:52
to do. And then you look at the Viva tech conference in France,
29:00
this which is going on right now, Viva tech. And there it is.
29:04
That's
29:04
Unknown: France positions itself as the top innovator in the
29:07
artificial intelligence space. Europe's biggest startup events,
29:10
Viva technology opened its doors in the French capital. This
29:14
year. AI is everywhere, everywhere. Events. eighth
29:17
edition aims to show off the depth of AI's capabilities, from
29:21
sorting waste, to cancer detection, and tackle key
29:24
questions about its impact across industries like climate
29:27
change, and upcoming elections.
29:29
Adam Curry: So AI will take care of climate change will take care
29:32
of medicine and the upcoming elections. But luckily,
29:36
Unknown: in terms of journalism, however, French media group has
29:39
told France 24 the industry isn't at risk. A lot of
29:42
preparations will be made.
29:44
John C Dvorak: Don't worry, it's the only thing that is at risk.
29:47
Adam Curry: No, it's the best. A lot
29:49
Unknown: of preparations will be made easier and quicker by AI.
29:52
And we know that you know, you can have a synthesis of millions
29:55
of pages and a very quick thing, then comes the human difference.
29:58
I'm a very, very strong really In the fact that AI will not
30:01
replace those guys of course, luckily not you will not be
30:05
replaced by an AI because what you know what you can do AI
30:09
today doesn't know how to do it. AI
30:12
is also revolutionizing the job markets through consultancy firm
30:15
PwC found that roles integrating AI skills carry up to a 25% wage
30:20
premium as well as having nearly five times the rate of
30:23
productivity growth and easing repetition for employees.
30:27
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's right everyone get a job and AI kids
30:29
kids don't become a plumber. Oh, become a prompt jockey. That's
30:34
the way to go. It's gonna be great. Bill I
30:37
John C Dvorak: have a clips oh please give me some AR
30:40
Adam Curry: clips.
30:41
John C Dvorak: And the reason these are interesting now is
30:43
because of the clip you played earlier about the climate change
30:47
made up that was taken over by the US government with Podesta
30:52
and everybody else in between the Clintons because it seems as
30:56
though this big AI meet up which just took place in South Korea
31:02
it's been same thing it's like the US government's now like
31:06
moved in for an or what they're up to of course, well, if
31:11
Adam Curry: we think about what Davidson said, you know, we give
31:15
people a I give them their their something to worship and the AI
31:19
tells them what to do, but let's make sure that we control what
31:22
it says.
31:25
John C Dvorak: Well, that would be one definite possibility.
31:28
Let's go with AI meeting in Korea one.
31:31
Unknown: Many of the world's leading tech companies met in
31:33
Seoul, South Korea this week, and they joined an international
31:37
agreement on AI safety. Several governments led by the US also
31:41
agreed to set up a new global AI safety network. So will these
31:46
voluntary agreements actually keep AI safe? Commerce Secretary
31:50
Gina Raimondo is leading the Biden administration's effort on
31:53
the issue. Welcome back to all things considered.
31:55
Thank you, Ira Good to be with you.
31:57
Giving us a concrete example of the sort of AI risk you believe
32:02
these new agreements will help us avoid, are we talking about
32:04
misinformation or invasive surveillance or what I
32:08
would take both and then some misinformation deep fake. Some
32:13
of these models are so sophisticated that if they're
32:16
not properly tested, before they're released, they can do
32:20
things that the developers didn't even think they were
32:23
capable of. Oh, Lord.
32:26
John C Dvorak: Okay, so here's a woman who doesn't know anything
32:29
about tech, or computers or any issues. It's not a scientist.
32:36
She's got She's the head of the congressmen she's a stooge. So
32:41
she's,
32:43
Adam Curry: she's like, generally on the Love Boat, she
32:45
leaves the delegation. Come on, everybody. She's got the
32:47
umbrella. Come on, everybody. Yep, it's time to drink.
32:53
John C Dvorak: So we know this is a fiasco. You got to test
32:58
that you got to test it to make sure it won't do this or that?
33:00
Well, you can't. That's bull crap. The whole idea of AI is
33:04
that is kind of a you know, freewheeling. So how do you test
33:08
that? You do test it by just really? You have to be you said
33:11
test before release? No, the only way you can test it is by
33:15
releasing it. You know, let the let the weenies at it, you know
33:19
that they start doing using it for all kinds of nefarious
33:23
purposes,
33:24
Adam Curry: comedy. So far, comedy is the comedy is great.
33:27
Comedy is art. Yeah, and creating songs and bad songs. As
33:34
some transcription does transcription, okay. Now, but
33:38
that's
33:39
John C Dvorak: do it well.
33:43
Unknown: Yes. You heard about hallucinations are the models
33:46
doing things that weren't predicted? So one of the things
33:50
we'll be doing is testing all of the most sophisticated model
33:54
before they're released to the public for you. They're gonna
33:57
Adam Curry: have a lab and have an AI Lab. They're in the
33:59
commerce zone. Good
34:01
John C Dvorak: question. And by the way, I didn't notice that
34:03
before that you're playing this clip. She does talk a little bit
34:06
like, well, I can't quite break through by though is this
34:11
possibly some powder going around? Might be imbibing
34:15
everybody follow the rails
34:17
Unknown: so that we can be sure that they do what they're
34:20
intended to do. But it's Pandora's
34:22
box already open. I mean, we've already seen deep fakes that use
34:25
politicians voices, I
34:27
would say yes. And now I mean, certainly the technology is out
34:30
there. And we've already started to see some disturbing
34:35
incidences where as you just said, you know, there's deep
34:38
fakes that's out there and misinformation. The exciting
34:41
thing here, it's easy to get bogged down and how it could go
34:45
poorly. There's also life changing life giving
34:49
possibilities that AI can bring to the world Name
34:52
Adam Curry: one. Name one life, you
34:55
John C Dvorak: beat me to the punch line. Sorry,
34:57
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Name one life chain. Enjoying life giving
35:01
life giving this, this is your this is your worship, it gives
35:05
me life. I love my AI and I love my truck.
35:12
John C Dvorak: Okay, three, bringing
35:14
Unknown: the doctor to everybody that has a phone, you know, huge
35:18
opportunity for education. So I think the whole point of it is,
35:22
let's do our best to work with like minded countries that
35:26
believe in democracy that are that opposed civil rights
35:29
abuses. And say, let's put a lid on the risks, so that we can let
35:35
all of the exciting opportunities develop. You
35:37
say, let's work with like minded countries. China is a notable
35:41
outlier. As I understand it, Chinese delegates have attended
35:43
these international summits. But the government of China is not
35:46
part of a global AI safety network that the US has led with
35:51
other governments, China exports, its AI technology to
35:54
many other countries around the world. So how effective are
35:57
these guardrails gonna be if China and its allies don't agree
36:00
to them?
36:00
Ultimately, we want as many countries to participate as
36:04
possible for exactly the reason that you just said,
36:08
Adam Curry: you know, the more Wait,
36:11
John C Dvorak: what reason that he just said, trying we went all
36:15
countries to participate? Yeah, exactly the reasons you said all
36:18
he said was they're not participating.
36:21
Adam Curry: Because that's everyone against China, the more
36:24
I think of it through the lens of let's all worship the AI, the
36:27
more this makes sense, I someone has figured it out, like, Hey,
36:31
as long as we're pulling the strings, as long as we control
36:33
in our lab, as long as we make sure that whatever comes out of
36:37
the AI is what we want it to be. I think this Yes, I think they
36:41
see
36:42
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the message you want AI to deliver is
36:45
Democrat precisely what it is. Yeah.
36:49
Adam Curry: Vote Joe. Joe.
36:51
John C Dvorak: That's just a wrapping clip, which just makes
36:54
the whole thing and I roller,
36:55
Unknown: we're talking about three distinct but related
36:58
agreements here. There's the private companies that have
37:02
reached a set of standards. There's this international
37:06
safety coalition. And then there is the federal government
37:10
setting up its own AI Safety Institute under your Department
37:13
of Commerce. The press release says it will do things like
37:16
advance support and articulate principles around AI safety. It
37:21
does not say in force. Does this institute that you're leading
37:25
have any power to prevent AI companies from doing things that
37:29
experts believe would be harmful? Ultimately,
37:32
Congress needs to act.
37:35
John C Dvorak: In other words, no, no. Well, this
37:37
Adam Curry: fits in perfectly with this urgent, urgent
37:40
warning.
37:41
Unknown: We live in a world where artificial intelligence
37:43
can create video pictures and documents that look stunningly
37:47
authentic. Now the Department of Homeland Security is warning AI
37:51
will likely be used against us in the upcoming election.
37:55
This isn't a threat of tomorrow. This is a threat of today.
37:58
According today
37:59
homeland security bulletin. In Me countries terrorists and
38:02
other adversaries could exploit AI tools confused or overwhelmed
38:07
voters and election staff to disrupt their duties during the
38:10
2024 election cycle. So
38:12
Adam Curry: I'm sitting here going alright, what exactly is
38:15
AI going to do besides make nudie pictures of Taylor Swift
38:18
or something else? That's funny that is obviously not real while
38:22
Biden pooping but what's going to confuse us
38:25
Unknown: for example, according to the DHS bulletin, enemies
38:28
might use AI to share altered images, videos or audio clips
38:33
claiming that a polling station is closed or that polling times
38:36
have changed who and
38:38
what do you need AI for?
38:39
Adam Curry: Thank you. Thank you. What you don't need I mean,
38:43
the guy went to jail for doing just that as a as a as a goof.
38:48
up Twitter he put up a you know, like a Hillary's sign we did.
38:52
We're done with the GIMP. And if you use Photoshop, you don't
38:55
need AI for that. But okay, so bulletin points to
38:59
Unknown: this audio know
39:00
the value of voting democratic on our votes count. It's
39:03
important that you save your vote for the November election,
39:06
which is 30 suspect it's an AI generated message.
39:11
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second.
39:14
Adam Curry: I love when you get riled up.
39:16
John C Dvorak: They suspect wanted somebody just asked Biden
39:20
at the press Carrasco kJP at the press conference
39:24
Adam Curry: who are said authorities. authority.
39:27
Authority weak
39:29
John C Dvorak: report. Where'd you get this?
39:30
Adam Curry: This is? I think this is NBC. NBC, it's an AI
39:37
just pour out well, hello. Message
39:40
Unknown: sounding like President Biden which urged people not to
39:43
vote in the lead up to the New Hampshire primary in January,
39:46
which I
39:46
Adam Curry: didn't hear in that clip, by the way, but I didn't
39:49
hear him say that but okay. And DHS
39:51
Unknown: officials also expressing concern that AI
39:53
technology might be used to create and push out dangerous
39:57
information that could help extremists design The violent
40:00
attacks
40:02
Adam Curry: okay, no examples. No reason why it needs to be aI
40:07
extremists just attack need AI. Oh Muhammad, we need some AI
40:13
being racist here but AI right away and why am I an Indian guy
40:19
all of a sudden, whatever it is terrorists
40:22
John C Dvorak: doling apart.
40:23
Adam Curry: Terrorists don't need AI. And then here's here's
40:27
the real head scratcher. After we saw this open AI parlor
40:32
trick, this little shoe rod of, you know, a an AI going oh, wow,
40:40
it looks like you're gonna do a video. Oh, this is great. So is
40:44
this AI or is it just an actress that you hired? I'm a little
40:48
confused about this report. Hollywood
40:51
Unknown: megastar Scarlett Johansson is taking on one of
40:53
the biggest names in tech open AI co founder Sam Altman.
40:57
Hey, how's it going?
40:59
Hey there,
41:00
the actress saying one of the five voices for open AI is new
41:03
AI chatbot sounds eerily similar to her own. I'm really excited
41:08
about teaming up with you. Johansson, who famously played
41:11
the voice of an artificial intelligence system and the 2013
41:15
movie Her Hi. How you doing? saying in a statement that
41:20
Altman had reached out twice wanting to hire her for the open
41:23
AI project?
41:24
Adam Curry: How stop? Why do you need to hire an actress and they
41:28
hired a different actress. They did a casting for AI can't AI
41:33
create the voice? Is this? Is it generating the voice on demand?
41:37
Or is it using pre selected segments or do they have to
41:41
sample I don't and that makes no sense. Why can't AI just create
41:45
the voice? This is very this is sketchy
41:49
Unknown: an offer she declined. But she says when she heard the
41:52
demo for the voice named sky she was shocked angered and in
41:56
disbelief over the resemblance to her own. In response. Allman
42:00
says the company has paused the use of skies voice but denies
42:04
copying Johansens saying in part, the voice was never
42:07
intended to resemble hers. But Johansson points to a recent
42:12
post by Altman on x where he simply wrote her referencing the
42:16
movie he's spoken about publicly. I
42:18
Adam Curry: think her got something deeply right on the
42:20
interface deeply. Right.
42:22
Unknown: Is the controversy. Right?
42:24
Adam Curry: Well, this you got it. This is how you got to talk.
42:26
You see if you're if you're one of these cult members, it's
42:30
deeply troubling us. I think it got something deeply right on
42:33
the interface. Her got something deeply right on the interface.
42:36
So you got it. On the interface. The
42:38
Unknown: controversy, highlighting concerns over
42:40
online fakes and the growing copyright concerns posed by
42:43
artificial intelligence. And open AI says prior to ever
42:47
reaching out to Johansson, it cast actors to create the voices
42:50
of his new chat bots, the company has yet to release the
42:53
identity of those actors.
42:54
Adam Curry: I'm surprised that they need to cast actors for the
42:57
Identify
42:58
John C Dvorak: your points well taken what what boy, this is
43:01
great.
43:02
Adam Curry: So luckily, on the place where it matters, CNBC,
43:07
where people are going, Oh, googoo, gaga over in video, oh,
43:11
and you bought chips, the more chip we can compute, compute,
43:14
compute more compute, it'll work and we have more compute by
43:18
NVIDIA chips more compute, wait for their super black black
43:21
ball, Chip, whatever it is, then it'll work, then it'll work. I
43:25
promise. It'll work once we get more compute. So they bring on
43:28
this guy, Gary Marcus. And thank you, Gary Marcus, you've
43:32
Unknown: consistently offered gut checks about hallucinations,
43:36
lack of progress, the way in which this is not the pipe
43:39
dream. That's some envision. Have any of the recent product
43:42
introductions changed your mind? No,
43:45
I mean, we're still basically working with the same technology
43:49
is still designed in the same way. It takes a lot of
43:52
statistics from a lot of words and tries to predict what
43:54
happens next. And as soon as these things come out, people
43:58
start playing with them on Twitter, and so forth. And you
44:00
see a lot of examples where they're still making the same
44:03
boneheaded mistakes as they were before. Nobody has actually
44:06
solved hallucinations. And I don't think we can with large
44:08
language models, I think we need genuine innovation here. So what
44:12
happens is we have a trap right now where people propose things
44:15
like the humane AI, then imagining that AI is solved, and
44:19
then they put it out in the world. And we realize no, it's
44:21
not solved. And I'm afraid that hasn't happened yet. Are
44:24
you going so far as to argue that the wave of investment that
44:27
very smart companies are making right now is misplaced? I
44:31
think people are putting in too much money too fast. I do think
44:34
it's kind of premature. Sam Altman talked about raising $7
44:38
trillion. That's like series H money, or something like that
44:43
when you've really established your business model and so
44:45
forth. And that just hasn't happened here. I've publicly
44:48
predicted that open AI might turn out to be the WeWork of AI.
44:51
People might scratch their heads and say, Well, this is a
44:54
solution. In search of a problem. We haven't really found
44:57
the problem. The whole industry spent on something like this $2
45:00
billion last year made $3 billion in revenue that is not
45:04
sustainable in the long term. So either they have to make it
45:06
better, which is proven really difficult. Or they have to find
45:09
some killer use case, which they haven't really because the
45:11
performance is unreliable. So yeah, my guess is that a lot of
45:14
investors are going to be left holding the bag.
45:16
Adam Curry: So I hear this and then I read about people,
45:20
people, people leaving open AI and they have these horrible
45:24
NDAs and you can't talk about the company ever, or your blues
45:29
all your vested stock, and I realized why? Because they don't
45:33
want these people to tell everyone that it doesn't work.
45:36
That it's crap.
45:38
John C Dvorak: No, it works. It is crap.
45:41
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. It works but it's crap. Yeah, I mean, but
45:44
it's a trick. It's like it's not it's impressive and the things
45:49
in the you know, the the video and the audio and the pictures
45:53
and you know, some of you know Okay, so we'd write up flower
45:56
points fine, but it's not really useful and what the guy said is
46:01
true. It's a solution looking for a problem that just doesn't
46:04
exist yet.
46:06
John C Dvorak: Well, I think the funnier thing and he does
46:08
commentary expressed was the week that we work well the we
46:12
work with good long winters or pure foot humor that was good
46:16
definitely the peak no but no, I meant funny in the sense that
46:21
it's like pathetic 50 billion to bring in five three No, three,
46:28
three, okay. 53 That which I've always been convinced is going
46:33
on with electric cars too, that they are shipped you know that
46:38
they're losing. I think General Motors or Ford or one of them
46:42
brought this up they're losing $100,000 A car they saw every
46:46
car sold was $100,000 in the hole. And I think they I think
46:50
that that goes for Tesla even though the cars are out costs
46:55
over 100,000 I think they're probably losing money on each
46:57
one because the technology is just too expensive to make but
47:03
the same thing with his AI when you go to Wall e dolly I'm sorry
47:06
dolly like Wally was doing well well he's the movie dolly is the
47:12
is the image that our generator Yeah, you generate these pieces
47:17
of art over and over again day art probably losing 10 to $20
47:20
each time that you generate a piece of art it's just it's a
47:25
it's a huge money loser. Yeah, they will make up for it and
47:32
volume they
47:34
Adam Curry: get the users will think or worry about profit
47:37
later on. If we were too old for this. We have we're just cynical
47:42
off the top because we've seen this
47:46
John C Dvorak: crap forever. Now
47:48
Adam Curry: the only guy who really did well, but the last
47:50
bull crap was Mark Cuban with broadcast.com. Brilliant.
47:56
Brilliant. Yeah. And
47:57
John C Dvorak: he was in and out. He was brilliant. It was
48:00
brilliant. It was it was pretty good.
48:01
Adam Curry: You can't say it wasn't brilliant. Now, if we
48:05
just stick with big tech for a moment, I was shocked. I tell
48:09
you shocked that Tucker Carlson did an interview with Eric
48:14
Prince and posted this interview with the hashtag paid promotion.
48:26
Oh, yeah, yeah, what exactly would so he does an interview
48:30
with Eric Prince hashtag paid promotion. So we all know that
48:35
Eric principles
48:36
John C Dvorak: get paid to play now on the Tucker Carlson and
48:40
Tucker Carlson. This is how he's making his money. And and he's
48:43
doing
48:44
Adam Curry: it with Eric prince with his unplugged phone. Listen
48:48
to this nonsense. So how does your phone protects people?
48:53
Unknown: So again, this, like I said, this, this era started
48:57
three and a half years ago. And we came at it from a completely
49:00
contrarian view. This phone, it's our hardware made in
49:07
Indonesia at a Singaporean facility, that'll be safe. Our
49:12
operating system, all our code,
49:14
Adam Curry: all our code, the whole lot, we built the whole
49:16
operating system, okay. And
49:18
Unknown: we are solely focused on data sovereignty that you
49:23
control. It's
49:24
pretty cool. Just that. I am kind of impressed that you made
49:29
hardware, you didn't just build an app like you extract
49:31
because you have to control it down to the root level of, of
49:36
the hardware and the software. So that our we don't have an
49:39
advertising ID and our operating system blocks, any any attempts
49:45
by any app to turn on your camera, or your Wi Fi or your
49:49
microphone or your GPS apps.
49:52
Adam Curry: Okay, all right. So that's not that spectacular. But
49:55
wait, he's gonna make some great claims here and
49:57
Unknown: we don't allow any of that leakage. In fact, we have a
50:01
privacy Center. This is called the unplugged. This is an
50:04
unplugged phone. And this is a effectively a firewall which
50:08
prevents apps from doing all the things they're used to doing on
50:13
all the other phones. So you're in control of what of your data
50:19
goes out, which is effectively, zero. This is like a, this is
50:24
like a safe comes in, it doesn't come out.
50:26
Adam Curry: Okay, so you couldn't use apps. And then none
50:30
of your data goes out. Now listen to
50:32
John C Dvorak: the adult way. Stop, we have to stop right now.
50:35
When you hear I think you
50:36
Adam Curry: need to hear the next clip for what you're going
50:37
to say. But okay, go ahead.
50:41
John C Dvorak: Apps assumes an operating system that runs the
50:44
apps apps don't just run on anything. I can't run it. Random
50:48
app on my
50:49
Adam Curry: toes. He's running an Android derivative. Of
50:52
course, we this is boy, he
50:53
John C Dvorak: said, Wait a minute. You said they did the
50:56
holes coating themselves. They got nothing to do with anything.
50:59
Yeah,
50:59
Adam Curry: yeah. Get ready for this.
51:01
Unknown: I'm just the bottom line and I'm protected from what
51:05
am I protected from if I use this, here's the thing.
51:08
The if you're using apps, and some federal agency goes to that
51:13
app purveyor, and says, Give me everything you have on Tucker,
51:17
that he's been using that app, they'll be nothing because
51:19
there's no data leaking from you go
51:22
Adam Curry: so there'd be nothing, they'll have no login
51:24
data, there'd be no no usage that nothing, there'll be
51:27
nothing, the app just runs without the backend service.
51:30
It's amazing.
51:31
Unknown: From your device. To that to that app. If if you call
51:36
somebody we have our own secure messenger, for example, you want
51:38
to call and make a secure call. And you call me it takes about
51:42
five seconds to connect. Because it's literally creating a
51:46
encrypted tunnel between you and me, generates a new encryption
51:49
key, every call, it is our effort to to fight the power. It
51:55
can't I mean, fight the power, just confess it, I use an iPhone
51:58
made by a company I actually kind of hate and that hates my
52:02
country. And me and I use it anyway. Because it's, there's
52:05
Adam Curry: a lot of people like you, that's why we're here with
52:08
a paid promotion would want to digitally a lot of people like
52:11
you dumb, dumb, ignorant not knowing exactly what's going on.
52:15
And here comes the claims queue
52:17
Unknown: that would want to digitally opt out of the lie of
52:20
big tech. And so what you can't do, obviously, we don't have the
52:23
Apple store. We don't have Apple Music, but you can use Spotify,
52:27
you can use a lot of the other streaming services on here, we
52:31
just prevent them from collecting your data as to what
52:33
you're listening to. Or oh,
52:35
Adam Curry: okay, so I can use Spotify but they won't know what
52:38
I'm listening to.
52:41
Unknown: streaming services work excuses lie here,
52:43
we just have that work. It doesn't work from collecting
52:46
your data as to what you're listening to, or, or where you
52:49
are when you do it. And you can share pictures, you can send
52:52
pictures, we have a lot of the other privacy related apps,
52:55
whether it's signal or Threema, or proton or telegram.
53:01
Adam Curry: Telling telegram is privacy protected No prob proton
53:04
Oh, yeah, proton.
53:07
John C Dvorak: Email Server.
53:10
Adam Curry: Proton, definitely gives up information. Doherty's
53:15
okay, it may not be able to give the messages if they're
53:17
encrypted, if they're encrypted, not always encrypted. But this
53:21
is a lie. And he's in a troll room says that he's also buying
53:25
ad space on O'Keefe stuff. So people are gonna fall for this.
53:30
It's like that. Remember that nut job with the freedom? I'm
53:33
John C Dvorak: not as upset about it as you. Well.
53:36
Adam Curry: I'm more upset that Tucker is doing paid promotions.
53:41
I mean, that's just lame. That's just lame. That's just
53:44
John C Dvorak: a cash flow problem,
53:46
Adam Curry: I guess. But you know, but he's,
53:49
John C Dvorak: I like to know what he charged for that
53:51
particular advertorial. Whatever you want to call it.
53:55
Adam Curry: Hey, Eric. Prince, we'll talk about your phone. Oh,
53:57
it's great. Oh, yeah, you can listen to the no agenda stream
54:01
securely. No one will know you're listening. It's great.
54:05
Yeah. This is a hoax. It's not good.
54:10
John C Dvorak: Oh, oh, it's just it's not necessarily a hoax is
54:13
somebody it just cuts everything off. Nothing works. Right.
54:19
They're asked to look at your camera or your contacts or
54:22
anything else. We're just refused. We won't use it. We
54:25
won't run it. That means nothing will work nothing. No Apple will
54:30
work on that phone. Spotify
54:32
Adam Curry: will not work unless you opt into the library that
54:38
does digital, what's the term looking for? Yeah, no. Yeah, you
54:45
do. It's the digital the digital signature the
54:51
John C Dvorak: I forget the name of a DMCA
54:53
Adam Curry: No, not that. No, it's like it's the same thing if
54:57
you if you load Firefox are brave. And if you then want a
55:02
wild wild vine There you go. If you want to watch some movie
55:06
from, you know, but if you want to watch YouTube TV, you have to
55:11
then opt into loading the wide VOD DRM. There we go. You have
55:15
to opt into loading the the libraries that in essence, let
55:20
them know exactly what you're doing. Otherwise Spotify doesn't
55:24
work. I know because
55:25
John C Dvorak: that's what there's all I think all this
55:27
stuff's not going to work because most of these guys look
55:30
at it said, Well, if you will let us do that. You can't use
55:32
us.
55:34
Adam Curry: Spotify or Spotify. I have no agenda phone no agenda
55:37
phone.com the Spotify does not work unless you say okay, I'll
55:41
opt into this stuff. The bills
55:42
John C Dvorak: to spy which gives it all away.
55:44
Adam Curry: Of course. Of course. I'm telegram burn
55:48
signal. All right. I'm sure it's all secure.
55:52
John C Dvorak: I'm sure that was a paid promotion. Come on.
55:54
Adam Curry: I know. But it's just I'm disappointed. I expect
55:57
so much more from my
56:00
John C Dvorak: probably never immersed you hated that guy
56:02
Adam Curry: who don't know I expect more from my mercenaries.
56:06
Go back.
56:07
John C Dvorak: No, not for me. I'm telling you hated the guy.
56:09
Tucker. I never hated Tucker. And I always thought you did.
56:13
Oh. Oh, let's just take a slight comedic break.
56:19
Adam Curry: For real comedy or no comedy because I thought that
56:22
was pretty funny. That
56:24
John C Dvorak: was funny, but it wasn't as funny as this. Okay,
56:27
I'm ready. Now I'm this tic toc battle ruined our lives because
56:33
of they not going to have the good clips like this. This talk
56:36
ban I taught clip I have which is every time I watch one of
56:42
these I say now is this an actress auditioning is this
56:46
really good acting is beyond the pale. I mean, is this or is this
56:51
really just a dummy that because people get on the there's some
56:54
of the dumbest people that put themselves on Tik Tok. And
57:00
they're just, they're dumb and arrogantly dominant. You know,
57:03
they don't even know how it didn't in this case is not a
57:05
woman who's necessarily dumb. She's just ignorant. And I just
57:10
think is one of the great clips I've ever heard. Tick tock tick
57:17
Unknown: tock tick tock.
57:22
Say other day I went to a steak house for a friend's birthday
57:24
and she ordered a steak and the waitress goes, How do you want
57:27
your cow cooked? It's a weird way to order it but whatever. So
57:32
she asked my friend how do you want your cow cooked? My friend
57:34
says I want it medium rare. Something like that. So then I
57:37
wasn't in the mood for steak. I wanted a hamburger I'd been
57:39
craving a hamburger. So I order you know the cheese the cheese
57:43
burger. And she was how do you want your cow cooked? I kind of
57:47
like awkwardly looked at my friends. I was like, I feel
57:49
really embarrassed. Do I point out that it's not cow like
57:54
hamburgers? A pig? Everyone knows. Pig. So back I was like,
58:00
Well, I want my pig cooked. Well done. You're not supposed to
58:05
you're not supposed to eat pork, like uncooked. Everybody knows
58:08
that. It's why it's always been super weird to me that people
58:10
will get like, red in the middle on their burgers. And so she
58:14
looks at me. She goes You mean your cow? And I'm like, I don't
58:18
know how to have this conversation right now. Like I'm
58:20
not a teacher. I'm not. I don't know how to educate you kindly.
58:22
And I was like, sure my cow. It was so bizarre. Like how do you
58:27
not know it's literally in the name? It's a hamburger. There's
58:31
no hope for the world. Yeah, that's right.
58:34
Adam Curry: That's right. No hope for the world. I think it's
58:37
real, I think is genuine. This is. This is the level of output
58:40
we have from our scholastic system. I bet she knows a bit.
58:43
She knows all about climate change, though. But she's all in
58:47
on that. By the way.
58:49
John C Dvorak: If she votes Democrat, I can assure you the
58:53
the oil baron
58:54
Adam Curry: gave me a whole bunch of Nidal meet
59:01
John C Dvorak: the goal Nidal? Yes. Isn't that an antelope?
59:04
Adam Curry: That is a kind of Antelope only it is an antelope
59:07
that has is a remnant. It has three stomachs. So the four no
59:12
three or two no three so it has a whole has so the the meat and
59:21
its ground is ground ground ground in the gall. And we had
59:25
hamburgers, man, this is some delicious very lean delicious
59:32
and you know I can send some to you if you want if you'd like
59:35
me. Yes, a cooler. Yeah, he's got he's got he's got dry ice so
59:40
yes, we have dryers. He's got sausage and and the hamburger
59:45
tubes and he shot it himself. At the at the Kings ranch.
59:52
John C Dvorak: Tony Maloney game ranch here. We call it a gig
59:55
most Acosta minted
59:57
Adam Curry: oil baron he Do we call it here? We don't say a
1:00:02
phony baloney Game Ranch John we call it a high fence Ranch is
1:00:05
what we call it okay, we don't call it a phony baloney get we
1:00:08
call it a high fence ranch.
1:00:10
John C Dvorak: Okay shot at the fence, fence fence whatever it
1:00:17
Adam Curry: is his birthday be nice it's his birthday. Okay,
1:00:19
John C Dvorak: happy birthday he's not on the list put them on
1:00:22
the list. He's on
1:00:23
Adam Curry: the list. I put them on the list of course I did.
1:00:27
Well, speaking of crazy food,
1:00:29
John C Dvorak: well wait wait go back to the meat. So what makes
1:00:32
it special? I mean, what was what was the characteristics
1:00:35
that made it so tasty it
1:00:37
Adam Curry: so it's kind of like a mix between venison which I
1:00:41
happen to like the taste of venison. Yeah, I like to taste
1:00:44
the medicine too. But the texture and all that is much
1:00:47
more of of beef.
1:00:51
John C Dvorak: It's about nursing here's when you go to
1:00:53
the ground these ground you grind up these animals and they
1:00:56
take on a different quality like for example not to digress too
1:01:00
much. Okay. Example ground elk, which is a terrific all tasting
1:01:07
product needs to be backed off because ground elk in a burger
1:01:11
is dense. It's too dense you need to put some ground turkey
1:01:16
or something in there lighten and lighten the load. So this
1:01:19
about that for this is this have is just dense. This
1:01:22
Adam Curry: has the exact same consistency as beef as ground
1:01:26
beef. It no difference. And but it has, so it's very lean and it
1:01:31
has to just taste better. It tastes better. Yeah, I'd say I
1:01:35
want to say sweeter. But that's not really the right term. But
1:01:38
you know, venison? It's not gamey though. But it's not
1:01:42
venison can sometimes taste low gamey if not depends
1:01:45
John C Dvorak: on where where the venison if it's like New
1:01:48
Zealand ranch venison This is very mild compared to some
1:01:52
animals somebody shot
1:01:54
Adam Curry: well this is from the phony baloney a game hunting
1:01:56
place so no high fence
1:01:58
John C Dvorak: I've
1:02:00
Adam Curry: it's fan I haven't had the sausage yet that
1:02:04
breakfast sausage and I saw I'm sure they spice that was
1:02:07
something so I'm gonna try that. Try that next. But he gave me
1:02:12
just a whole bunch of these these tubes that they pack for
1:02:14
him. So you know, he shoots I wonder if he even has to carry
1:02:18
it back on his back. You know, to just you know, just shoot it.
1:02:22
Oh,
1:02:22
John C Dvorak: they shoot it and go over beer. A bunch of done
1:02:27
you go into the 19th hole.
1:02:31
Adam Curry: Here is the latest from Illinois. The state is
1:02:34
buzzing literally
1:02:35
Unknown: the Wednesday hump day everyone and boy do we have a
1:02:38
show for you. Buckle up. We're talking cicadas and booze. We've
1:02:43
all heard that you can eat cicadas you know there are
1:02:45
recipes online describing how you can pan fry them boil them
1:02:48
toasts and put them in cookies and cakes, whatever but
1:02:51
whatever. Would you drink them alright, so
1:02:53
if that's something that sounds appealing to you listen up noon
1:02:56
whistle brewery hosted these images yesterday unveiling its
1:02:59
locally harvested, cicada infused Lord. It is available at
1:03:04
its brew pub in Lombard. The comments on this post ranged
1:03:07
from Heck yeah, and try it to y'all are nasty. And of course,
1:03:11
a lot of people asking Seriously, why?
1:03:15
Adam Curry: Because your future is bugs Illinois. You hear that?
1:03:19
That? We all know you can put it in cookies and we'll know who's
1:03:25
doing that. Seriously. Who's doing that? Who's buddy moose
1:03:30
putting that stuff into their cookies. It's concerning. very
1:03:38
concerning.
1:03:42
John C Dvorak: Well, I suppose you do pull it. Well. No bugs. I
1:03:45
don't have any bug clips. You
1:03:46
Adam Curry: have no bug clips.
1:03:48
John C Dvorak: Now I guess a Mar a Lago service. I sold some
1:03:50
climate stuff there, which I couldn't get to because you you
1:03:55
went to that guy who went from climate to transgender to AI,
1:03:59
which is beautiful. It was a huge switcheroo on the whole I
1:04:03
love flow.
1:04:04
Adam Curry: I'm okay to go back to climate if you want. I mean
1:04:07
yeah,
1:04:08
John C Dvorak: I got some NPR climate changes because they
1:04:10
there's an ant Arctic expert. This is getting on my nerves.
1:04:15
This stuff is Yeah, well, you know, it's doing this is the
1:04:18
worst. Where's the sea rise? You know, I
1:04:21
Adam Curry: don't see it. Yeah. Familiar,
1:04:25
Unknown: elitist voices of America. This is NPR
1:04:30
or PBS. fixing the problem comes down to you probably guessed it.
1:04:35
Oops, I'm
1:04:35
Adam Curry: sorry. Oops. Wrong one. For decades,
1:04:38
Unknown: scientists have gathered evidence that climate
1:04:41
change is melting sea ice in the Arctic. But Antarctica has been
1:04:45
this weird outlier. The region's sea ice melt hasn't been so
1:04:49
dramatic. That's because the two places are quite literally polar
1:04:54
opposites. The Arctic up north is an ocean surrounded by land
1:04:58
the Antarctic in the South. is land surrounded by ocean. It's a
1:05:02
very different setup. That's Caroline Holmes. She's a polar
1:05:06
climate scientists at the British Antarctic Survey.
1:05:09
Scientists like her have been tracking in Arctic sea ice
1:05:11
levels by satellite for 45 years. And they spotted a big
1:05:15
shift in 2023. Last
1:05:17
year, there were loads of dramatic climate stories going
1:05:20
on. And one of those was that sea ice in the Antarctic was
1:05:23
really dramatically low in Antarctic winter. So that's our
1:05:26
summer, Antarctic winter.
1:05:28
And Arctic sea ice plummeted to the lowest point on record. But
1:05:32
it wasn't immediately clear whether human activity caused
1:05:35
that there's a lot going on in the Antarctic climate home says,
1:05:39
Adam Curry: you know, at this point, when I hear this noise,
1:05:42
it literally just goes in my ear, one ear goes out the other.
1:05:45
I think everyone else tunes that out to Antarctic ice, whatever.
1:05:50
And it's now a human activity. But it's not human activity. She
1:05:54
said man was more complicated. There's more going on. Yeah,
1:05:57
like flying saucers.
1:05:59
John C Dvorak: Wait a minute, if human activities causing global
1:06:02
warming? No,
1:06:03
Adam Curry: that's not part of the globe, man. I feel your
1:06:08
pain.
1:06:10
John C Dvorak: It should either it's causing it universally,
1:06:14
because it's global, the word global refers to the globe. Or
1:06:21
it's not. But they can't seem to make up their minds. They don't
1:06:25
know how to deal with the fact that they can't really put any
1:06:27
numbers together that work. But okay, continuing,
1:06:32
Unknown: the Antarctic is really variable. We know, things like
1:06:36
winds, temperatures around Antarctica are some of the most
1:06:39
variable places on earth. And because of that, you could get
1:06:43
lots of naturally cause variation, but it kind of
1:06:46
masking everything that's going on while climate change.
1:06:49
So Holmes and her colleagues at the British Antarctic Survey put
1:06:53
together some calculations that use computer modeling. Long term
1:06:59
for the Antarctic to lose that much sea ice.
1:07:03
And we found that this is a really rare thing. I mean, we
1:07:06
knew it was rare. And because it hadn't happened before in our
1:07:08
lifetimes, but we showed using computing that it really,
1:07:13
really, really was a really, really, really, really, really
1:07:16
was a really, really, really, really, really was a really,
1:07:19
really
1:07:20
extremely rare event. That suggests such a major ice loss
1:07:23
isn't only a product of shifting wind patterns, or ocean
1:07:27
currents, how far now there's much clearer evidence that
1:07:30
climate change is playing a role.
1:07:32
We found that it would only have happened about once in 2600
1:07:36
years. Ah,
1:07:38
John C Dvorak: wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. 2600
1:07:44
years ago it happened. Yeah, so what was the climate with you're
1:07:47
blaming climate change back in the day? 2600 years ago,
1:07:53
Adam Curry: was the Romans Romans burning stuff? This is
1:08:00
Yeah, no, I feel you but you know what? This is where the
1:08:03
money is. I don't know why we're so pigheaded about it all. We're
1:08:07
just paying we should just jump on board on board go all in.
1:08:12
cash out. Hello, everybody. Climate change. John. What's
1:08:15
John C Dvorak: the latest? Unbelievable we're all gonna
1:08:17
die. Where's my money?
1:08:19
Adam Curry: Have you seen the latest models? Oh, yes. You
1:08:21
know, AI is going to solve this when we get the next large
1:08:24
language model from Miss drawl. It's going to be great. Yeah, we
1:08:29
could be cashing in. People would believe us. We could sound
1:08:36
the fear if we can sound sincere.
1:08:39
John C Dvorak: It sounds sincere. That's the trick. It's
1:08:42
hard
1:08:43
Adam Curry: it's hard but I think we could do we could pull
1:08:44
it off
1:08:45
John C Dvorak: doable we can do it take couple acting lessons.
1:08:47
We're good to go. Yeah, okay. I think there's less there is
1:08:51
Unknown: there is fixing the problem comes down to
1:08:54
Adam Curry: your Corinne DeVore Consulting Group is what it
1:08:56
comes down to domain admin with some AI
1:08:58
Unknown: fixing the problem comes down to you probably
1:09:01
guessed it reducing greenhouse gases Gillingham says that until
1:09:05
then reliance on fossil fuels will continue to shape the
1:09:08
Antarctic even if the effects don't show up right away.
1:09:11
Adam Curry: Oh, how much meat who's paying these people?
1:09:16
John C Dvorak: The vegans rich vegans vegans
1:09:19
Adam Curry: that you'll see that's quite the quite the
1:09:21
common theme in the climate change special a lot of veganism
1:09:28
and with the whole
1:09:29
John C Dvorak: idea seems to be the root of all evil. Veganism
1:09:33
Adam Curry: is a big part of it big part of it and with that I
1:09:37
would like to thank you for your currency in the morning to you
1:09:40
the man who put the seeds in the cow that's cook say hello to my
1:09:42
friend on the other end the one and only Mr. Joss
1:09:49
John C Dvorak: well in the morning you Mr. M curry also oh
1:09:52
the morning in the morning all the ships in the season have
1:09:54
boots in the ground their feet in the air subsequent water
1:09:57
Notre Dame's show So
1:10:04
Adam Curry: this is I, you know, I saw it this morning, I when I
1:10:07
logged into the troll room, I saw a very little trolling
1:10:11
activity. But I think Darren did something. Because on the last
1:10:15
Thursday show we had 18 120 Trolls today, down to 1693. I
1:10:22
blame Darren. But uh, Darren do I don't know, I didn't listen to
1:10:26
the whole show. But when I when I checked in, it was only like
1:10:28
250 Trolls. Wait, no, but I have it here. Let me see I checked
1:10:32
in. There was 389. And that was a half hour before we started.
1:10:37
So he chased the trolls away. I don't know what he did.
1:10:41
John C Dvorak: He played a song that was offensive to Taylor
1:10:44
Swift, I'm
1:10:45
Adam Curry: sure. Well, I
1:10:46
John C Dvorak: don't think he played Taylor Swift today. But
1:10:47
maybe.
1:10:50
Adam Curry: Anyway, we, I mean, there's still I mean, it
1:10:53
certainly
1:10:53
John C Dvorak: be some issue of getting online. There's a lot of
1:10:56
possibilities. We also have a holiday coming up. And so that
1:11:01
holiday will probably result in people taking off today, the
1:11:05
next day and the next day and then Monday. For the government
1:11:10
the time that's right. Take off a couple of sick days before a
1:11:13
three day weekend. Boom, you're good to go know all about it.
1:11:16
That's right. I do believe me I end of things when you quit. I
1:11:20
worked there for almost a decade in this agency. And I and I got
1:11:26
our almost a round of applause because I walked out of there
1:11:29
with no sick leave. Left and no vacation time left 00
1:11:35
Adam Curry: a big article again, today I was reading about how,
1:11:38
how today's workforce, they don't take any, they hardly take
1:11:43
any PTO, because they're just working remote. And we've talked
1:11:48
about this before. They just have little apps that make the
1:11:50
mouse move around to make it look like they're busy. They're
1:11:53
sitting on the beach. I don't understand how how can the
1:11:56
economy be booming and doing so well, stock market all time high
1:11:59
hits amazing what's going on? How does it work when no one's
1:12:02
doing anything? You tell me? Well,
1:12:06
John C Dvorak: I'll tell you what I think, which is I think
1:12:08
that even working at home and getting an hour's work done a
1:12:12
day instead of eight is still more productive than being in
1:12:16
the office and shooting the shit all day. And being around the
1:12:19
water cooler and getting a half an hour's work done. It's just I
1:12:24
don't understand. I'm not I'm not convinced that that work at
1:12:27
home guy with a fake mouse movement. All the rest is still
1:12:30
not getting more done than you get done in the office.
1:12:32
Adam Curry: It's very possible. Very possible. I think the stock
1:12:36
market all time highs because the dollar was basically
1:12:38
devalued due to inflation. But that's just me.
1:12:42
John C Dvorak: Well, it's universal because the dollar
1:12:45
versus euro is a buckle rate. So it's still not that bad. No,
1:12:48
Adam Curry: no, not at all. Not at all.
1:12:50
John C Dvorak: It's fine compared to the yen, which is
1:12:52
completely lost.
1:12:54
Adam Curry: I don't know how I'll be over 160 again yet. I'm
1:12:57
waiting for it.
1:12:58
John C Dvorak: I think is waiting is pushing it on my eggs
1:13:02
by a Toyota. Do that by a Toyota by
1:13:06
Adam Curry: a truck. Let me see where it is home. I can take a
1:13:07
look at it right now. Let me see is no one almost 157 creeping up
1:13:13
creeping up?
1:13:14
John C Dvorak: Did bounce up there before. I mean, a couple
1:13:17
of weeks ago,
1:13:18
Adam Curry: I know we did. Two
1:13:19
John C Dvorak: highs that shouldn't be there. No,
1:13:21
Adam Curry: but it is because something's wrong. I think
1:13:26
there's something wrong. I'm not sure. Maybe it's just me. All I
1:13:31
hear is I was a everything's great economy's great. And that
1:13:34
and all I see is tick tock videos of children going I can't
1:13:37
afford ran I work two jobs about something's wrong. Somewhere,
1:13:42
something's wrong. By the way, you too can be a troll that just
1:13:48
you know, maybe, hey, if you're a troll, just get one of those
1:13:52
apps that just makes it look like you're busy in the troll
1:13:54
room. Nick convince us now just move the mouse around post
1:13:58
something from time to time and just pretend to make us feel
1:14:00
better. I think it's possible you can get one of those
1:14:03
John C Dvorak: I was creating an AI for the troll room. I would
1:14:08
create a promotional one. A professional it's just continue
1:14:12
to hound you like by the way, too many eggs.com Go to too many
1:14:16
eggs.com That's what I would use over and over and over every
1:14:19
five minutes. Have you been to too many eggs.com Anything?
1:14:24
Adam Curry: Well, Doug is our is our AI in the troll room. Of
1:14:27
course. Doug is AI.
1:14:29
John C Dvorak: Doug used to be used to give the news.
1:14:32
Adam Curry: Yeah, on the stream dyno. And then Darren came along
1:14:36
and killed Doug. I don't know. Anyway,
1:14:41
John C Dvorak: it was all pre AI.
1:14:43
Adam Curry: That's right. We've we've had aI on the show for 15
1:14:46
years, with the least with Doug with Doug and it was probably
1:14:51
better. Certainly more entertaining. And Doug read the
1:14:54
news. If you'd like to be a troll go to troll room. dot io,
1:15:00
you can do that live. And you can join anytime, because
1:15:03
there's always something going on there. And the no agenda
1:15:05
stream is all kinds of live shows. And blueberry was there.
1:15:09
I mean, they got concerts. Now this is insane. What's
1:15:12
happening, it's its own organism. I don't know how sir
1:15:15
bemrose manages at all, but he does. And somehow everyone's
1:15:18
reasonably happy. And there's just show after show after show
1:15:22
and you can, you can troll along live. And then of course, we
1:15:24
have the Thursday and Sunday show when we pack them in. And
1:15:28
you can also enjoy all that in a modern podcast app, which will
1:15:32
notify you when your favorite show goes live on the stream,
1:15:35
and gives you all kinds of extra features like transcripts and
1:15:39
add chapter images and, and and even if you don't catch the live
1:15:44
show, it'll it'll pop up and let you know, 90 seconds after we
1:15:48
publish. No waiting for 15 minutes, half an hour, sometimes
1:15:52
days on Apple or Spotify. Not that you can get us on Spotify
1:15:56
since we've rejected them. We operate fully on value for
1:16:01
value, because advertising is censorship. Thank you for
1:16:05
continuing to remind us about that in the in the newsletter.
1:16:10
And it should be it should be a hoodie over at no agenda
1:16:13
shop.com minimum a cap advertising is censorship V for
1:16:18
V for life. And one of the ways that we love to receive value is
1:16:23
from our artists who are always on the ball. Many of them are
1:16:26
Dutch grandmasters and in fact, most of them are duct
1:16:31
grandmasters. And they they are diligently creating art during
1:16:36
the live show when they can so that the minute we're done, we
1:16:40
we fill out the credits because of course everyone gets a credit
1:16:43
and we're about to thank our executive and Associate
1:16:45
Executive Producers just like Hollywood and and then we select
1:16:51
the title and boom, we're good to go. And it was Sir Schug
1:16:54
Schug, aka fo Diddley, who nailed it with the classic
1:17:01
Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, which he
1:17:04
transmogrified into Trad wife Homes and Gardens new cookbook
1:17:10
and recipes for indoctrination. It's a little hard to read that
1:17:15
one but it was good we liked it there were some other things
1:17:20
that we'll check up
1:17:21
John C Dvorak: Joe was good we wish was done by Tenzin Neil
1:17:23
right next to it.
1:17:25
Adam Curry: Yes it rabbit it was a little the house the batteries
1:17:31
it the idea was there is a typical no agenda pack shot with
1:17:36
Duracell batteries. And which is weird because I should remind
1:17:41
people
1:17:43
John C Dvorak: I've had nothing but bad luck with Duracell
1:17:46
batteries that you get from Costco. They, they they leave
1:17:49
them into a they leak. They leak they leak and they don't last
1:17:53
that long. The best battery to get as an either an ole max or a
1:17:57
Fuji
1:17:59
Adam Curry: Fujis Fujis I've had good luck with Fujis foods she
1:18:02
John C Dvorak: makes a terrific battery. Can
1:18:04
Adam Curry: you get those at Costco? The Fuji? No, you
1:18:06
John C Dvorak: only can get at Costco is Duracell and the
1:18:10
Kirkland battery.
1:18:12
Adam Curry: How are those? The corona? I
1:18:14
John C Dvorak: have not noticed that they're any good? No,
1:18:17
there's not a place to buy batteries.
1:18:19
Adam Curry: I don't think I'd ever buy Kirkland batteries.
1:18:22
John C Dvorak: I bought them at Fujis Fujitsu didn't show me
1:18:26
anything.
1:18:26
Adam Curry: You got a complaint about the chicken the other day
1:18:28
I saw I saw you posted about it.
1:18:31
John C Dvorak: Well, it turns out that Costco is taken to
1:18:35
Costco chicken the 495 class 98 Whatever classic classic cheap
1:18:39
chicken rotisserie chicken and in some cost goes not mind
1:18:43
locally but the one up in Port Angeles, Washington was actually
1:18:47
in swim. They put it in a in a plastic bag instead of in the
1:18:53
container. Oh
1:18:54
Adam Curry: no,
1:18:54
John C Dvorak: that's so the plastic bag all the juice ends
1:18:57
up in the bag and the bag is made out of whatever it's made
1:19:00
out of it. cracks and leaks. And so you're gonna get Costco
1:19:04
chicken juice all over your car, or wherever you put the bag and
1:19:09
it also steams the chicken in the bag. Creating a soft skin.
1:19:15
It's a disaster. And you also can't tell using the chicken
1:19:21
trick. What the best chicken is in the in the group because
1:19:24
they're all in bags. You can't really tell with the Costco
1:19:27
chicken in the container. The trick is for everyone out there
1:19:30
who eats the scrap. The trick is if the back of the chicken is
1:19:36
touching the top of the container because you can see it
1:19:39
I'd say about one out of 20 chickens does this. It's the
1:19:42
perfectly cooked chicken Jhansi
1:19:44
Unknown: de Bourgh X diva the day was that
1:19:47
John C Dvorak: P vis a tip
1:19:48
Adam Curry: well I wanted to play the P but then you you
1:19:52
close it with a tip but your P was the was the bags
1:19:55
John C Dvorak: the just yeah the cheese is a bag yeah the bags
1:19:57
are no good.
1:19:58
Adam Curry: We don't have a Johnson anymore. Like Tip of the
1:20:00
day we should should we had many artists check in with slingshots
1:20:07
the slingshot people love the slingshot idea.
1:20:10
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
1:20:12
Adam Curry: They didn't quite why didn't they quite do it? It
1:20:14
didn't quite hand in quite
1:20:16
John C Dvorak: good for a little light corny. I
1:20:20
Adam Curry: kind of liked Darren said no agenda sewage sludge
1:20:24
class and other classic packshot was okay. I saw
1:20:27
John C Dvorak: you use as he always throw something in there
1:20:29
just in case. I saw that you used
1:20:33
Adam Curry: Fletcher's gold standard for the newsletter, the
1:20:38
newsletter I
1:20:38
John C Dvorak: thought was pretty piece didn't that wasn't
1:20:40
nice. It wasn't for the show, because it doesn't really have
1:20:43
any direct connection, anything but it was a nice piece. And
1:20:46
then there
1:20:47
Adam Curry: was a bunch of AI stuff everywhere. A lot of Trad
1:20:49
wife stuff. People trying to get us with trade wise, wasn't going
1:20:55
to translate. I did get people emailing me about how they love
1:20:59
being a housekeeper.
1:21:03
John C Dvorak: And well, they should. Instead
1:21:05
Adam Curry: of homemaker, it's a Jhansi Dvorak housekeeper as
1:21:08
great as great. Well, thank
1:21:10
John C Dvorak: you for keeping a house. Yeah,
1:21:12
Adam Curry: exactly. You're keeping the house. Thank you
1:21:15
very much, sir. Schug, aka fo diddley for the artwork for
1:21:19
episode 1662. We almost this was kind of interesting. We almost
1:21:24
titled that one. jacked up, Joe. And we went for a hard landing,
1:21:29
but we like yeah. How about jacked up, Joe? And if we had
1:21:32
done that, it would have been the third time we've used that
1:21:34
title a quick turns out Yeah, quick, a quick check revealed
1:21:38
that we had already doubled that once before. So
1:21:41
John C Dvorak: yes, we do use it, use it twice. When I
1:21:43
promoted the idea of let's go for that trick.
1:21:46
Adam Curry: I wavered for a minute, but then now because now
1:21:51
we'd like to thank the people who delivered us treasure. We
1:21:54
appreciate this very much. We appreciate anyone who becomes a
1:21:57
producer and you can become a producer for any amount. At any
1:22:00
time it's up to you can become a sustaining producer. If everyone
1:22:04
did it would be fantastic. But you know, that's just not how it
1:22:06
works. Value for value usually comes in the form of numerology
1:22:11
people love to donate and certain numbers, but if you feel
1:22:14
like it, you can go to no agenda donations.com And you can set up
1:22:18
something that goes every month or every, every week or every
1:22:20
show, it could be $5 can be 1111. I see. So what are people
1:22:24
doing for I looked at the numbers so that's the weekly now
1:22:29
that's the weekly $4 A week you're gonna have a layaway
1:22:31
knighthood. So as long as the as long as you keep track of with
1:22:36
the honor system, keep track of all your donations. Lots of
1:22:39
people have become nights from now on over a year's time. And,
1:22:43
and we appreciate them. We appreciate anybody under 50
1:22:46
Typically that's for anonymity. No, it doesn't want to be
1:22:49
mentioned at all. And we always want to highlight our our top
1:22:53
donors $200 above Associate Executive Producers $300 and
1:22:56
above is executive producer and we read your note and we kick it
1:23:00
off with Dusty from Waco, Texas, who comes in with a cool Insta
1:23:04
night. $1,000 He has a typewritten note which I shall
1:23:09
read there we go. Dear John Adam dusty here from Waco Texas De
1:23:15
douche me fellas you've been de deuced been feeling been feeling
1:23:22
to donate for quite some time. This is Texan been failing to
1:23:26

1:23:28
John C Dvorak: or knowing for some time bores you bitter de
1:23:31
douche me
1:23:31
Adam Curry: got punched in the mouth by my cousin Chris
1:23:33
Gilliam, who resides in North Austin. And I'd like to publicly
1:23:36
thank him for telling me about no agenda. And also I should
1:23:40
write remind him to donate douchebag. John, it's hard for
1:23:47
me to relate to anyone who still calls California home. Only
1:23:52
kidding, he says, but I do value your voice of experience. You
1:23:56
keep the game on the field. Well, that's interesting. You
1:24:00
keep the game on the field. Do you think that means in this
1:24:03
context, I'm out. I pray for your state. To Adam however, I
1:24:08
have the most important thing in common in 2004. I cried out to
1:24:11
the Lord from a very lost and dark place. Not only did he
1:24:14
rescue me from my pain, but he also set my feet on solid ground
1:24:18
that has given me a fruitful life. With renewing hope in my
1:24:20
heart. I was so happy for you and your family when I heard you
1:24:23
would come to faith in Jesus after 20 years of walking with
1:24:26
him. I know now for certain that every word in that Bible is
1:24:29
right and true. No jingles for me though. I donate this $1,000
1:24:33
With a cheerful heart of gratitude for no agenda service
1:24:36
to humanity. Y'all are another critical voice in the lay man's
1:24:40
search for the truth. I'll sign off with a quote from dj t. That
1:24:45
will be Donald J. John Trump I presume the truth is a force of
1:24:49
nature. It always wins in the end. Hang on folks only a little
1:24:54
while longer now. I think he's voting for Trump.
1:24:59
John C Dvorak: He's voting Yes, and you can hold on you never
1:25:01

1:28:35
Adam Curry: I love that sound? Yeah, what are you buying? What
1:28:39
are you bumping?
1:28:40
John C Dvorak: It's this is the midst the bar that sticks out
1:28:45
and and then the mic is attached to that and then there's just a
1:28:49
cage around the mic, which shouldn't allow that to happen
1:28:52
what I'm doing here should not be heard by the mic at all. But
1:28:57
Adam Curry: are you are you on the Heil? What do you want? What
1:28:59
Mikey I would Yeah,
1:29:00

John C Dvorak: it's not his cage.

Adam Curry: Oh, that's
1:29:10
John C Dvorak: why cage is the one that got sloppy and it ended
1:29:13

Unknown: jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs for jobs
1:35:22
John C Dvorak: here we go with Eli the coffee guy in
1:35:23
Bensenville Illinois. This brings me to a note that was
1:35:27
written into gentleman you asked espresso questions last episode
1:35:31
we have answers the device used to knock spent coffee out of the
1:35:34
porta filter is known as a knock box. I mean he pointed this out
1:35:37
do not to box KNOCK KNOCK box box. light roast don't knock out
1:35:44
of the porta filter as easy because they are denser. As the
1:35:48
coffee is roasted darker, the bean actually expands more like
1:35:52
popcorn and density decreases which means the darker rows will
1:35:56
get knocked out easier. John light rows do have more
1:36:00
caffeine, the Honduran organic is my favorite for espresso.
1:36:03
Adam, I agree that dark roast work better in the French press.
1:36:07
Producers should visit gigawatt coffee roasters.com and get a
1:36:11
super sampling of all 10 of our coffees to which then see which
1:36:14
one is their favorite news. ITM code 24 20% off their order.
1:36:18
Stay caffeinated. Now, that brings me to a note that was
1:36:22
sent by another coffee guy. And of course I ended up going back
1:36:29
claiming the notes. I have to go back and find the note. Okay.
1:36:35
But just give me a second here it is from Mike. And he's a
1:36:40
coffee roaster too. But he does I think he's more commercial.
1:36:44
Does he have a cold coffee roaster here weighing in on the
1:36:47
light dark debate. And this is our producer Mike Eli, the
1:36:53
coffee guy who has a dang good espresso blend will probably
1:36:59
confirm what I'm about to say as well. But he doesn't quite
1:37:03
because he says something different here. It's not that
1:37:06
light roast coffee has more caffeine is that the light roast
1:37:10
coffees have more density now he did say that and humidity that
1:37:15
the amount of space they occupy is greater compared to a dark
1:37:18
roast. So when you fill your porta filter with a dark roast
1:37:22
the standard is 18 grams. But to occupy the same amount of space,
1:37:27
you will have 20 grams of a light roast. Oh
1:37:31
Adam Curry: that's why it's more more caffeine is just more
1:37:34
product. Yeah,
1:37:36
John C Dvorak: it makes sense.
1:37:37
Adam Curry: More product God
1:37:38
John C Dvorak: this is even more noticeable when you compare the
1:37:41
amount of coffee and a 12 ounce bag of light versus dark roast
1:37:44
also the phenomenon where he can't knock the light roast out
1:37:47
as to do a dark roast being more carbonized brittle and light
1:37:51
roast being more flexible retaining more water I work in
1:37:54
some high volume $30,000 espresso machines that use
1:37:59
ceramic burrs and they are not rated for light roast because
1:38:02
they will get jammed from the two factors I just mentioned.
1:38:08
Now that's more information than anybody out there who will ever
1:38:10
give your podcast about coffee coffee.
1:38:14
Adam Curry: Yes well I'm I'm down to my almost my last can of
1:38:20
the coaster.
1:38:21
John C Dvorak: I love yes you love the can coffee. Yeah,
1:38:24
Adam Curry: again it says here nitro shake vigorously to
1:38:28
activate. And that does open it sprays all over me. My sport is
1:38:33
you know, should I wait before because the activate
1:38:36
John C Dvorak: is another question for Eli the coffee guy.
1:38:38
He's the one who makes that product because
1:38:40
Adam Curry: I did it the other day. I'm all over my hoodie and
1:38:43
like okay, now I just want to mention on this this Canada's is
1:38:48
confusing. Costa Rican Dota tarrazu Snap to coffee you hear
1:38:53
cubs single origin, juicy profile, vibrant taste. Hmm.
1:38:59

1:39:04
John C Dvorak: Well that caught that can coffee that make us
1:39:06

1:39:08

1:40:11
just plugging in a product that she has the same as Eli, the
1:40:15

don't have one you can open one now. And if anyone ever
1:41:29
questions these credits, let us know we'll gladly vouch for you
1:41:32
because we are show business guys. Thank you for supporting
1:41:35
us for episode 1662
1:41:37
Unknown: Our formula is this we go out for yet people in the
1:41:41
mouth
1:41:59
Adam Curry: yeah, there's some bird flu mother just keeping it
1:42:03
alive at this point. If you've been following but this is
1:42:08
John C Dvorak: is languishing, they're not
1:42:12
Unknown: trying to keep it alive tonight US health officials
1:42:15
closely monitoring that human case of the highly contagious
1:42:18
bird flu virus. Now the second infection linked to an outbreak
1:42:22
in dairy cause second infection
1:42:26
John C Dvorak: to secondary infection. Why are they using
1:42:28
the word height? You know they this is a I don't know where you
1:42:31
got this but this is bad reporting is highly contagious
1:42:35
amongst birds. Yes. Well, but they just throw it out as highly
1:42:39
contagious makes it think that we're getting it. That's
1:42:42
Unknown: the point authority saying a Michigan Farm Worker
1:42:45
recovered after having mild symptoms that worker likely
1:42:49
contracting the virus from infected livestock. Back in
1:42:52
March, a Texas farm were lying was diagnosed with the first
1:42:56
human case of bird flu
1:42:57
Adam Curry: human case of bird flu. First of all, bowl crap.
1:43:01
I've seen guys in Belgium with bird flu. And let's pinkeye
1:43:05
basically tied
1:43:06
Unknown: to dairy cows. Both patients worked with cows. What
1:43:10
is tied
1:43:11
Adam Curry: tied to dairy cows even mean did you did you put a
1:43:15
string on it a piece of yarn
1:43:18
John C Dvorak: that a big rope
1:43:19
Unknown: diagnosed with the first human case of bird flu
1:43:22
tied to dairy cows.
1:43:23
Adam Curry: I mean, that's not even. That's not it's either
1:43:27
from dairy cows, or
1:43:30
John C Dvorak: where where it did this ridiculous ABC. This is
1:43:33
abc abc these networks are really out of control that being
1:43:37
told what to do. Kurt
1:43:38
Unknown: was diagnosed with the first human case of bird flu
1:43:41
tied to dairy cows. Both patients worked with cows both
1:43:45
reporting eye infections, but the cases are not connected eye
1:43:49
infections
1:43:50
Adam Curry: pink eye that's literally what you get. It's
1:43:53
almost like you know just rubbing poop in your eye you get
1:43:55
pinkeye please Hi infections. Oh, I'm blind. I'm blind from
1:44:00
bird flu.
1:44:01
Unknown: risk to human health still is very low because of the
1:44:05
bird flu threat. The CDC tonight as a precaution, urging cities
1:44:09
and states to keep up flu surveillance summer
1:44:12
keep up keep up the surveillance but there is no human human
1:44:15
transmission, which is very important reasons that this
1:44:17
problem is still mostly confined to livestock.
1:44:21
Adam Curry: All right, let's listen to Lester Holt on NBC
1:44:24
with his version very quick. A
1:44:25
Unknown: second human case of bird flu linked to dairy cows
1:44:28
has been confirmed in the US health officials in Michigan say
1:44:32
a dairy worker who contracted the virus experienced mild eye
1:44:36
symptoms.
1:44:36
Adam Curry: Oh no since recovered. The first case was
1:44:39
found in Texas in March. Oh, I've recovered from from my
1:44:42
pinkeye Oh, so rough it was you know, there's
1:44:46
John C Dvorak: probably more cases of the plague the two
1:44:51
cases insured flu and conjunctivitis, actual play.
1:44:56
Yeah. Actual plague. Yes.
1:44:58
Adam Curry: Yes. Yes, unbelievable. These people
1:45:02
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
1:45:07
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yes, go. Let's change gears and go to the
1:45:11
10 commandments in the in the Louisiana schools. Big scandal.
1:45:17
Unknown: Louisiana may soon require public schools to
1:45:19
display the 10 commandments oh no free classroom.
1:45:24
That's in a bill that passed the state senate last week. A few
1:45:26
other states have also considered this move after a US
1:45:29
Supreme Court decision about religion in schools. Molly Ryan
1:45:33
with memorization WR KF in Baton Rouge has more to build
1:45:37
specifies that a poster at least 11 inches by 14 inches must be
1:45:41
displayed in every public school classroom with the 10
1:45:44
commandments, spelling out the prohibitions against killing and
1:45:48
stealing to prohibitions against coveting your neighbor's wife,
1:45:51
servant or cattle. Proponents say it will provide moral
1:45:54
guidance to students. The
1:45:56
significance of history is like the Oracle. Our laws are based
1:46:00
on the 10 commandments. In fact, without them, a lot of our laws
1:46:03
would not exist that
1:46:05
state representative Dodi Horton, a Republican lawmaker
1:46:08
and sponsor of the bill discussing it at the legislature
1:46:10
last month. She passed a similar bill last year that requires all
1:46:14
public school classrooms to display in God we trust. Horton
1:46:18
and other proponents say there's a new legal opportunity for
1:46:21
something that's been prohibited in the past. They cite a US
1:46:25
Supreme Court ruling that gave a high school football coach his
1:46:27
job back after he was fired for praying on the field.
1:46:31
The legal landscape has changed, which now allows us to present a
1:46:35
bill like the 10 commandments. No,
1:46:37
Adam Curry: where's the controversy?
1:46:40
John C Dvorak: Let's come in and clip to here
1:46:41
Unknown: we go. Okay. A similar bill failed in Texas last year
1:46:45
and Arizona's governor vetoed a slightly different one. The
1:46:48
group Americans United for Separation of Church and State
1:46:51
says Louisiana would be the only state to require the
1:46:54
commandments and all classrooms. Opponents of the bill say it's
1:46:58
state sanctioned religion and violates the First Amendment. No
1:47:01
here's Terry Landry with the Southern Poverty Law Center
1:47:04
opposing the bill and a Senate committee saying it violates the
1:47:07
rights of families of varying religious beliefs
1:47:10
were the parental rights in this particular issue. The proposal
1:47:13
does not require teachers to teach the 10 commandments, but
1:47:17
some, including Landry argue some of the commandments could
1:47:20
raise uncomfortable questions for elementary school students.
1:47:24
Do I want a teacher explaining to my child what is adultery, he
1:47:28
noted that could also clash with another bill being considered to
1:47:31
ban classroom discussion of sexual orientation. The bill
1:47:35
goes back to the house where it's expected to pass with some
1:47:37
changes before heading to Republican governor Jeff
1:47:40
Landry's desk. If he signs the bill. Opponents are expected to
1:47:44
challenge it in court.
1:47:45
Adam Curry: Oh, bravo, here
1:47:47
John C Dvorak: we go. Now there's a few things to discuss.
1:47:50
One is the guy the the the atheist who who I'm assuming is
1:47:57
an atheist. They came up with this well, I know it's gonna
1:48:01
cause problems because you got to explain adultery to children,
1:48:04
but meanwhile they're promoting sexual orientation discussion
1:48:08
Adam Curry: was homosexual orientation to the first graders
1:48:12
and why don't why don't you put the 10 commandments just hanging
1:48:15
above your pride flag it'll all be okay. sleaze
1:48:22
John C Dvorak: and of all things by the way, we should mention
1:48:25
the 10 commandments are innocuous. But they will bring
1:48:30
forth the satanists and the corniest are going to bitch and
1:48:35
moan because it's not a separation. What church are we
1:48:39
talking about here? That the Jewish is it? 10 commandments
1:48:44
comes out of the Old Testament. Yes. So that's Jewish. So are we
1:48:48
talking about you're objecting to D hate Jews? I don't go this
1:48:53
stretch. But then again, now the other element that came out this
1:48:58
is Texas rejected the same idea. What's wrong with you in Texas?
1:49:02
Adam Curry: I don't know. But I was not part of that vote.
1:49:05
John C Dvorak: I understand in California. Why is going that
1:49:08
would never happen.
1:49:09
Adam Curry: Well, I don't know the details of the Texas thing
1:49:13
but that just need to set straight that the separation
1:49:17
between church and state is nowhere. Can you read that in
1:49:20
the Constitution? The only the only thing that reads in the
1:49:24
First Amendment is that government cannot make any law
1:49:28
against any religion. Yes, even if you want to be a Satanist.
1:49:32
The separation of church and state comes from a letter that
1:49:35
Jefferson wrote that people now hold up as well as founding
1:49:39
that, no, no, you can do whatever you want. Any state can
1:49:43
do what they want. And quite honestly, any school should do
1:49:45
whatever they want. But we do much better if we got a little
1:49:48
bit of 10 commandments in our life. But no, oh boy. Oh, yes.
1:49:54
I'm sure this all boils down to one thing. Don't vote for Trump.
1:50:00
John C Dvorak: While we're at it, yes, I think you nailed it.
1:50:01
While we're at it. The only reason for the controversy are
1:50:04
the fact that they carry this on NPR
1:50:07
Adam Curry: don't vote for Trump. And while we're at it,
1:50:09
everyone, you know, you can go to any school in America or you
1:50:15
can go to, I think probably if I wanted to school in
1:50:18
Fredericksburg, you'll see pride flags, in all different versions
1:50:22
and all the teachers have a pride flag not to be it's going
1:50:25
to be great and get pride and pride and pride one of the one
1:50:28
of the sins of course, pride, but we got all kinds of pride
1:50:31
flags. But oh, Leo's got a pine tree flag.
1:50:37
Unknown: This morning, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito faces
1:50:40
new calls to remove himself from cases tied to the former
1:50:43
president and the assault on the Capitol. The New York Times
1:50:46
reports the second flag used by January 6 protesters was seen
1:50:50
flying at a lidos vacation home. Scott McFarland looks at the
1:50:54
modern message of that Revolutionary War banner. This
1:50:58
Adam Curry: is fantastic. The guys flying a flag, and it's a
1:51:01
problem. They flown pride Flags over the White House.
1:51:05
John C Dvorak: I know I actually have a clip from two shows ago
1:51:09
Adam Curry: yeah, they're about to fall. Okay, play the follow
1:51:12
up and then I want to
1:51:13
John C Dvorak: hear I played it for a while but I want to just
1:51:14
mentioned that this is part and parcel I think of the upcoming
1:51:19
Supreme Court decisions about flat Chevron deference flags.
1:51:23
It's got nothing to do. Of
1:51:25
Unknown: course not. You can see
1:51:26
the white and green appeal to heaven flag amid the rioters who
1:51:30
searched one guy to seek help make the flag a symbol of
1:51:39
support for former President Trump and the conservative
1:51:41
Christian nationalist movement. According to this New York Times
1:51:45
report Wednesday and appeal to heaven flag was photographed
1:51:48
flying at the New Jersey vacation home of conservative
1:51:50
Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito last summer. The report comes
1:51:54
days after Alito acknowledged and upside down US flag also
1:51:58
associated with the January 6 attack and the stop the steel
1:52:01
movement flew outside his Virginia home days after the
1:52:05
deadly capital riot Alito argued he had no involvement whatsoever
1:52:09
in the flying of the flag that was hung by his wife amid a
1:52:12
dispute with neighbors and recently Alito argued free
1:52:16
speech is under attack. Troubled
1:52:18
Waters are slamming against some of our most
1:52:21
fundamental principles. The controversy
1:52:24
comes as the court is deciding whether Trump should have
1:52:26
immunity from prosecution. McGrath, Justice Alito, to
1:52:30
recuse himself from those cases in court he did was really
1:52:34
the wrong thing to do. And it casts some
1:52:38
doubt on impartiality
1:52:40
as the appeal to heaven flag also hangs outside the office of
1:52:43
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson Johnson issued a
1:52:46
statement in support writing he has long appreciated the rich
1:52:49
history of the flag because it was first used by General George
1:52:52
Washington during the Revolutionary War.
1:52:55
Adam Curry: Yeah, and it was against the British because they
1:52:57
wanted to cut down our pine trees. And we said now, we we
1:53:06
Murni
1:53:06
John C Dvorak: these pine trees from making cheap furniture. You
1:53:08
guys haven't got a clue. Ikea. Ikea needs IKEA needs a damn
1:53:13
pine tree. Here's I got this from two weeks ago. This is
1:53:17
upside down flag became an issue.
1:53:19
Unknown: An American flag lens reportedly thrown upside down at
1:53:22
the home of a Supreme Court justice. The presidential
1:53:25
contenders agreed to debate and pretty soon also Michael Cohen
1:53:29
on the stand at criminal trial of Donald Trump appears Ron
1:53:34
Elving joins us Ron, thanks so much for being with us. Good to
1:53:37
be with this guy. The New York Times reported this week it had
1:53:40
photographs confirmed by interviews with neighbors that a
1:53:43
US flag flew upside down at the home of Justice Samuel Alito
1:53:48
just days before President Biden was inaugurated in 2021. Now is
1:53:53
this just a matter among Capitol pundits and opinion naters or
1:53:58
something more?
1:54:00
It certainly has set pundit tongues to wagging Scott and
1:54:03
it's still a developing story, but there are some facts agreed
1:54:07
upon Alito says he had nothing to do with a flag but his wife
1:54:10
put it up after a verbal dispute with a neighbor over yard signs.
1:54:13
Apparently one sign was reported to have had an obscenity on it.
1:54:18
Mrs. Alito took exception to that had an altercation with a
1:54:21
neighbor, and then she ran up all glory upside down. Now it's
1:54:25
a nautical sign of a vessel in distress. But it was also
1:54:29
brandished by some of the riders at the Capitol trying to
1:54:32
overturn results in the 2020 election. That was several days
1:54:36
before this flag incident at the lidos. So Democrats are taking
1:54:40
this very seriously. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the
1:54:45
Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin have both called on Alito
1:54:49
to recuse himself from two cases pending down before the High
1:54:53
Court cases that are pertinent to Trump's trials and his
1:54:57
election denial.
1:55:00
Adam Curry: This is so amazing because you know when it comes
1:55:04
to flag etiquette, I mean seriously, I've seen the pride
1:55:08
but I'm gonna say it again the pride flag flying above the
1:55:11
American flag totally out of out of all flag regulations. Any
1:55:16
flag in America should not be flown above the US flag. Right.
1:55:20
And fly. What are the what is the deal with these people? I
1:55:24
should have clipped it. You know my hatless and pivot with Kara
1:55:28
Swisher and Scott Galloway. They were like you should just leave
1:55:32
the flag alone. You should never do that stop with the flag. All
1:55:36
of a sudden they care about the flag.
1:55:39
Unknown: These people hate the American Day. They
1:55:40
Adam Curry: hate the American flag because it represents
1:55:43
Trump. They hate it. They hate America. They're haters. The
1:55:47
haters gotta hate the haters. You know, a 69 year old
1:55:51
grandmother was arrested here in Fredericksburg this week, by the
1:55:56
by the sheriff. You know why? Because there was video of her
1:56:01
praying inside the Capitol on January 6. This is almost three
1:56:06
years later. There's still Rousteing, grannies
1:56:12
John C Dvorak: Rousteing grannies, and how did they find
1:56:14
out who it was a and why is the sheriff going along with his
1:56:18
bull crap? Well,
1:56:20
Adam Curry: thank you. Do we just and this is why it's a big
1:56:23
issue here. I'm gonna write down roasting granny. That's pretty
1:56:25
funny. We have a run off election for Gillespie County
1:56:29
Sheriff, which ends tomorrow. And this is the incumbent
1:56:35
sheriff. And so apparently the way it works is, whenever you're
1:56:39
riding around the sheriff, just scan your license plate and if a
1:56:42
warrant pops up, he's going to arrest you. So I didn't know the
1:56:46
sheriff was riding around just checking everybody's license
1:56:48
plate. But apparently it is so it's part political. Now. Of
1:56:52
course. Look at what he did. He's bad. He's bad. Vote for the
1:56:56
other guy. Vote for the other guy. But he's bad. Vote. Vote
1:57:01
for Chris gonna vote for Chris. I'm bad. He's bad.
1:57:04
Unknown: I'm working on working on it. Yes, it was good.
1:57:07
Adam Curry: But in general, the the knowledge of what really and
1:57:10
you notice that they only talk about riders now they don't talk
1:57:13
about insurrectionists that went by the wayside. They stopped
1:57:16
calling
1:57:17
John C Dvorak: as Biden can't pronounce it. He keeps saying
1:57:19
this. Here
1:57:21
Adam Curry: is Bill Maher, who appeared on the Megyn Kelly
1:57:25
show.
1:57:26
John C Dvorak: He did this by the way I should mention he also
1:57:28
appeared on gut felt.
1:57:30
Adam Curry: And on the view He's everywhere. He's got a book and
1:57:33
John C Dvorak: he's got a good book agent and she's pushing him
1:57:36
on this showing that he was not happy on Gutfeld
1:57:38
Adam Curry: well, he wasn't happy on on Megyn Kelly either
1:57:41
on January 20 2025. He'll show up at the White House whether
1:57:45
he's invited or not. And I don't think that's going to be good.
1:57:49
We're now he's
1:57:50
Unknown: gonna bomb in behavior. Yes, yes.
1:57:54
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Bomb is worried I wouldn't even throw
1:57:57
around likely. He's not gonna do that. Right. Like there was
1:58:00
never an attack on the Capitol.
1:58:03
Unknown: I hear you I hear you. But he's that never show up at
1:58:05
the inauguration show up
1:58:06
Adam Curry: at the Capitol and break windows and knock down
1:58:10
doors and kill cops and chase do damage. They didn't break
1:58:14
windows knocked on ops. They of course did. No they didn't. Who
1:58:18
did they died of natural causes that day. Yeah.
1:58:20
Unknown: Nobody died that day. Cops. No, not true. Oh,
1:58:25
okay. I don't remember the names.
1:58:28
They didn't. There was Brian sick Nick, who died later after
1:58:32
the fact. And the coroner's report did not say it was
1:58:36
because of what he had inhaled that day said it possibly
1:58:39
accelerated the condition that killed him.
1:58:42
Adam Curry: So this is the kind of knowledge or ignorance that
1:58:45
people have. Well, cops were killed man cops were killed,
1:58:48
they killed cops. That's Bill Maher, a guy who has a voice. He
1:58:55
has a voice he
1:58:55
John C Dvorak: was very similar on got fouled when he had got
1:58:59
Phil has it has a tremendous sense of humor when it comes to
1:59:02
dealing with this guy. And he just did just amazing to watch
1:59:09
is faster to that because the two of us got into a sparring
1:59:12
match. And you can just see that the clips are faster. And it's a
1:59:17
big deal. You know that this way. Johnny Carson always got a
1:59:21
lot of kudos. Because if you wanted to get into like an
1:59:23
insult thing going on, he kill you, as you just aren't that
1:59:27
fast. He's real fast. And so his gut felt turns out to be really
1:59:30
quick. But he said the same thing. He said, Trump's going to
1:59:35
you know, he's just going to take the office and he's going
1:59:38
to and if he gets elected, he's never going to leave. This is
1:59:41
same stuff. He says that he's going to ruin it. He's going to
1:59:44
kill it. And democracy. Where does this even how does this
1:59:48
even develop? It's it's just
1:59:50
Adam Curry: derangement syndrome is totally deranged. I should
1:59:53
have I should have played these clips after you brought up the
1:59:56
10 commandments because Norah O'Donnell this was really You're
2:00:00
saying Norah O'Donnell interviewed the Pope?
2:00:03
John C Dvorak: Yes, she did. And it took up the whole show. Well,
2:00:07
Adam Curry: we I don't have all that. But a lot of things that
2:00:12
have been reported in the news turned out to be fake news.
2:00:15
According to the Pope, what? I know, I was surprised. Let's
2:00:19
start with number one.
2:00:23
Unknown: It's Francis's capacity for forgiveness and openness
2:00:27
that has defined his leadership of the churches, nearly 1.4
2:00:31
billion Catholics. He put them and the world on notice during
2:00:36
an impromptu press conference on a plane in 2013, when he spoke
2:00:41
on the subject of homosexuality, so no persona gay if someone is
2:00:45
gay, he said, and he searches for the Lord when everyone has
2:00:49
good will follow you am I to judge? And he did not stop
2:00:53
there. Last year, you decided to allow Catholic priests to bless
2:00:58
same sex couples. That's a big change. Why?
2:01:03
Oh, god, okay. But know what I allowed was not into union
2:01:09
cannot be done because that is not the sacrament. I cannot
2:01:14
really say the Lord made it that way. But to bless each person,
2:01:17
yes. Having the blessing is for everyone. For everyone to see
2:01:26
around you, unless a homosexual type of union whoever goes
2:01:31
against the given right against the law of the church today it
2:01:35
is thrilling to see but to bless each person. Okay, no, why not?
2:01:40
But the blessing is for all secondary. Some people were
2:01:43
scandalized by this, but why? Everyone thought every paths.
2:01:50
You have said Who am I to judge? Homosexuality is not a crime?
2:01:56
No, it's a human friend.
2:02:00
Adam Curry: Oh, which brings me to the words in here the new
2:02:08
show starting on peacock. June 6, here's the promo.
2:02:16
Unknown: Our planet is home to over 11 million species.
2:02:26
ROTC really are everywhere. Everything you were taught as a
2:02:29
kid is wrong. You make gay penguins, bisexual lions six
2:02:35
changing clownfish. This is a queer,
2:02:39
Queen as has always existed. It's only in humans that we have
2:02:42
such a stigma about it.
2:02:43
The idea of just having to fix sexes is clearly out of style.
2:02:49
Mother Nature is pretty open minded.
2:02:53
Sex is not just
2:02:55
for reproduction. It's clear that no matter where you look on
2:02:58
our planet, Nature is full of clear surprises. To be honest,
2:03:04
we should all probably get laid a little more than we do.
2:03:07
Adam Curry: That's right. Queer planet starts June 6 on that
2:03:11
peacock network.
2:03:15
John C Dvorak: Gay and it's called queer planning.
2:03:17
Adam Curry: This show is called queer planet.
2:03:20
Unknown: Yep, that's you. Yeah. Yeah,
2:03:25
Adam Curry: yeah. No, that's all good. It's all good. It's all
2:03:27
good. It's perfect. But don't hang the 10 commandments up in
2:03:31
the in the school's queer plans. They show a bunch of lions board
2:03:37
looked at gay lions. And it really it looks highly produced,
2:03:45
I must
2:03:45
John C Dvorak: say looks Yeah, well, they got a lot of
2:03:47
producers that know what they're doing. They certainly had a gay
2:03:51
Adam Curry: anyway. I don't know why I went that route, but maybe
2:03:54
we should get back to get down to either get back to Trump.
2:03:59
Because Comey is out and
2:04:01
John C Dvorak: about oh, wait, wait before you do that back to
2:04:04
get going about you know you first you brought up the 10
2:04:07
cameras now we got Brad gay planet are gay. We are planet
2:04:11
difference. Yeah. I might as well play this clip. This is
2:04:14
Biden and the five daughters clip. Have you heard this?
2:04:18
Adam Curry: I have. Yeah, it's kind of creepy
2:04:20
Unknown: purgatory for this guy. five daughters. straight to
2:04:26
heaven. And by the way, I say to every young man thinking of
2:04:31
getting married, married to a family of five or more
2:04:33
daughters. I did my wife's oldest of five sisters. You know
2:04:38
why? One of them was always loved. And not to say one one of
2:04:43
them was always on your side. That's the biggest advantage and
2:04:46
married and have five daughters.
2:04:48
Adam Curry: This creepy, he's creepy. It's creepy.
2:04:53
John C Dvorak: What is he saying? What is he telling us
2:04:55
here? That
2:04:56
Adam Curry: you should marry a woman who has The sisters I
2:05:00
guess has
2:05:01
John C Dvorak: four sisters or more. I would assume or one of
2:05:05
one of them will love you. Yeah, not necessarily the same one.
2:05:09
No. Which means he's having set he has sex with one of his
2:05:13
wives, sisters. That's what it tells me that he is that for a
2:05:19
good good, good Catholic boy. He is a sinner.
2:05:24
Adam Curry: You think, Wow, big revelation. Stop the presses
2:05:29
Biden is a sinner. The prop bets are in for the debate, we have
2:05:36
the odds for which drug? President Biden was positive for
2:05:42
we have. Now when it says plus 200 What does that mean?
2:05:48
John C Dvorak: That means if you bet $200 You win 100. I know I
2:05:51
know of two is plus $201. If you bet, if you bet $1. You get two
2:05:56
back so you get three back.
2:05:57
Adam Curry: All right, so that's Adderall a 200. Cocaine at 400
2:06:01
PCP or angel dust at 600 By the way, this is from a bet online.
2:06:07
Ketamine 1000. Now Viagra 1500 I'm surprised
2:06:15
John C Dvorak: they're not gonna test anybody for drugs. So this
2:06:18
betting thing what Okay, here's the question I have when I saw
2:06:21
this list if they don't know I bet yeah. Do I get my money back
2:06:25
of a test effort takes place? I don't think so. Probably
2:06:28
Adam Curry: not probably not. Probably not.
2:06:35
John C Dvorak: I'll take the long shot.
2:06:41
Adam Curry: This is kind of a little bit off the wall but in
2:06:43
the in the category of post traumatic syndrome disorder. But
2:06:50
what other what word softening have we had throughout the ages?
2:06:55
Women's Health Care, reproductive health care what
2:06:59
other what other we should
2:07:01
John C Dvorak: make? We should have a list. Concise list
2:07:05
euphemism
2:07:05
Adam Curry: euphemisms that you feel euphemisms
2:07:07
John C Dvorak: as the
2:07:08
Adam Curry: word Illinois has just passed a new euphemism law
2:07:12
on
2:07:12
Unknown: Tuesday, Bill 4409 passed in the state senate 34 to
2:07:17
20. Question Is
2:07:18
Adam Curry: your house bill 4409. Pass all those in favor
2:07:21
vote aye. Aye. Opposed nay the voting is open.
2:07:23
Unknown: The proposed legislation would remove the
2:07:25
term offender and replace it with the justice impacted
2:07:29
individual for individuals in the state's adult redeploy
2:07:32
Illinois program commonly referred to as a ri. According
2:07:37
to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information authority. MRI is an
2:07:40
initiative that divert offenders from prison to programs to help
2:07:44
rehabilitate them to success. Republicans say the language
2:07:48
change portrays a lack of empathy for victims and lack of
2:07:51
concern for public safety,
2:07:54
change this change that the only thing that you don't want to
2:07:57
change is the behavior of criminals. And guess who's
2:08:01
paying for that right now? Victims all across this state? I
2:08:04
urge a no vote.
2:08:06
How about that? I love that. I
2:08:09
John C Dvorak: love how they change. Yes, this impacted
2:08:11
individual Yes,
2:08:12
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I've been impacted by justice. Yeah, I'm
2:08:16
in jail. I've been impacted by justice. Yeah, gender affirming
2:08:20
care. That was the other one. Of course, that was the big
2:08:22
euphemism. Yah, yah, yah. Yah. Yah, yah. Yah. But, but but
2:08:27
whatever you do keep the 10 commandments out of schools.
2:08:31
Because that's going to hurt children. That's really going to
2:08:33
hurt children.
2:08:35
John C Dvorak: You have kids playing adultery to him? Yeah.
2:08:39
Adam Curry: Janet Yellen is in Italy today. And Italy yet? What
2:08:44
do you think she's discussing with her counterparts? The g7
2:08:47
finance ministers? Well, it's
2:08:49
Unknown: this focus now turns to your meeting in Italy with the
2:08:53
g7 finance ministers and the frozen Russian assets. Yes, we
2:08:57
know those assets are not going to be seized altogether and
2:09:01
gifted to Ukraine. This talk, though, that alone could be
2:09:04
given to bring forward future profits to give more money to
2:09:08
Ukraine now to the tune of 40 $50 billion. Is that
2:09:11
something you support?
2:09:13
Yes, I think that's a possibility. I believe it's
2:09:17
important for the g7 to work together to show united front
2:09:22
and to show that we can generate meaningful resources to support
2:09:29
Ukraine over the next several years in while America stands
2:09:34
behind Ukraine, and why expect Congress, if necessary, will
2:09:39
pass future packages. Ukraine has substantial needs and being
2:09:45
able to marshal significant resources to help Ukraine is
2:09:50
important. And that's one way to do it. I understand that today.
2:09:55
European Union took the final step in improving The plan by
2:10:01
which windfall profits that are being earned on Russian Russian
2:10:07
assets? Now
2:10:08
Adam Curry: listen to this, this is about euro clear listen to
2:10:10
the words that say using regarding interest and making
2:10:14
money or not. I mean, it's very confusing here in Euro
2:10:18
Unknown: clear that they will be dedicated for Ukraine's use. And
2:10:23
the plan that you mentioned would essentially bring forward
2:10:29
that flow of interest proceeds from the assets that do not
2:10:34
belong to Russia. The question assets are not earning interest
2:10:39
anymore, but they are generating returns for Euro clear.
2:10:45
Adam Curry: How, okay, so it's just the Russian money that's in
2:10:48
Euro clear is not generating any money. But somehow Euro clear is
2:10:53
going to be taking the interest earned on that money and sending
2:10:56
it to Ukraine. Yeah, this is a mistake.
2:11:02
John C Dvorak: They're stealing money. Yes, loans
2:11:04
Unknown: could be given to Ukraine that would be repaid
2:11:09
over several years by that flow of interest. Oh,
2:11:12
Adam Curry: it's a loan. I see over that flow of this is a big
2:11:17
mistake. And this is why Russia and China they're trying to get
2:11:21
their own. The BRICS, they're going to try and get their own
2:11:24
money together. Not something that happens overnight will take
2:11:27
decades probably. But this is dumb. This is dumb. I don't
2:11:34
think Janet Yellen is hates America. Um, she is she just
2:11:39
wants the dollar to break apart. I think she's an agent of change
2:11:44
for some for maybe the Chinese. How can we have someone so dumb
2:11:49
doing these things?
2:11:51
John C Dvorak: To us the head of the Fed for a while?
2:11:54
Adam Curry: Yeah, great job.
2:11:57
John C Dvorak: I think under Trump. No. Was she under trolled
2:12:00
by Trump or Obama could have been Obama.
2:12:03
Adam Curry: I think maybe she maybe she might have been? She
2:12:07
might have been under Trump. I'm thinking but no. But anyway,
2:12:13
John C Dvorak: she she was I think she definitely worked
2:12:15
under Trump for a while and then he got rid of her. Yeah.
2:12:17
Adam Curry: Yeah. Because she's, she's dumb. This makes no sense.
2:12:24
The here's here's Now interesting things are
2:12:27
happening. The the Fitz 21 Act was passed by the House. Here's
2:12:34
Tom Emmer, which always gives me a chuckle because Emmer is
2:12:38
bucket in Dutch. So here's Tom bucket to talk about. Thank you,
2:12:43
Mr. Speaker. Today, we have an opportunity to determine whether
2:12:46
the next iteration of the internet will be designed by
2:12:49
Americans, or if it will, instead reflect the values of
2:12:52
some other nation. The fit 21 Act gives us that opportunity
2:12:56
and unlocks a larger conversation beyond innovation.
2:13:00
This bill is about national security. It's about consumer
2:13:03
protection. It's about global competitiveness. It's about
2:13:07
shaping what every future global digital economy looks like and
2:13:10
how it functions. Currently, all online transactions are
2:13:14
intermediate. But as we move deeper into the digital age,
2:13:17
digital assets are key to decentralizing the internet. So
2:13:21
Americans can transact directly with each other. Now, no income
2:13:26
intermediary needed. Without cryptid. We all have this
2:13:29
ability. And I think giving Americans the choice to do
2:13:32
business through an intermediary or directly with each other is
2:13:35
important. Having that choice will fundamentally alter the
2:13:38
digital economy unlocking new opportunities for Americans and
2:13:42
individuals across the world in ways we haven't even begun to
2:13:45
contemplate. However, this Congress can no longer stand by
2:13:49
US regulators squander this opportunity right within our
2:13:52
grasp. This administration has demonstrated they simply are not
2:13:55
willing to allow the digital asset industry to innovate in
2:13:58
the United States. For every legal inconsistency or
2:14:02
regulatory hurdle they produce. Instead of coherent and informed
2:14:06
guidance, they drive American digital asset users into less
2:14:10
safe jurisdictions. That's why the fit 21 Act is significant.
2:14:14
So this clears the way for central bank digital currency,
2:14:19
but it also cleared the past. I mean, it has to pass the Senate
2:14:23
and, of course, the President has to sign it. But you can have
2:14:26
your own bitcoin wallet. You don't have to have it connected
2:14:29
to your bank. You can create services that have Bitcoin
2:14:32
wallets, you can help transfer, I should say digital assets, but
2:14:37
I just think of Bitcoin. You can have services that transfer that
2:14:41
pass through payments. It's really good for innovation, bad
2:14:45
for the dollar. Good.
2:14:46
John C Dvorak: Innovation has helped the IRS I'm not seeing
2:14:50
it.
2:14:50
Adam Curry: That's what the beauty is. I'd say. It's not
2:14:53
it's not they didn't pass it. They must hate the IRS. It
2:14:58
passed overwhelmingly in the house House
2:15:02
John C Dvorak: Well, what was the votes? It was overwhelming.
2:15:04
That means a bunch of Democrats had to vote for a 71
2:15:07
Adam Curry: voted against mostly Democrats. All the rest voted
2:15:10
for.
2:15:12
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're up to something but to
2:15:15
Adam Curry: be honest about it that the you know, a wallet is
2:15:20
just a metaphor, there's no wallet, all you're doing all a
2:15:23
wallet is is just making signing cryptographically signing
2:15:27
something, you know, you don't get any money. It's not like,
2:15:30
you know, like money trickles into some thing, like a pocket
2:15:33
book. So if you can do encrypted email, you should be able to do
2:15:36
an encrypted signing of a transaction.
2:15:42
John C Dvorak: All right, I guess that's interesting. It is
2:15:44
to me. Here's something that we would be good to go that this is
2:15:49
interesting to me. All right, and PR at best.
2:15:54
Unknown: Okay. maxtow once lived on the streets of Fairhaven,
2:15:57
Vermont, but he receives an honorary doctorate this morning
2:16:01
at Vermont State University Casselton Max may have some
2:16:05
faults but he's really a pussycat. A Tabby public radio
2:16:09
reports. The ones feral kitten taken in by a woman named Ashley
2:16:13
DOE has become part of university life over the past
2:16:16
five years. He's posed for photography classes, he's hitch
2:16:20
rides on backpacks and been a general source of campus cheer.
2:16:25
Ashley Tao told Vermont public radio she's encouraged students
2:16:28
to bring Mac's home if they see him out after five. And students
2:16:32
did actually bring him home. She says I'll get text messages from
2:16:35
random students. It's like he's okay. He's up by the greenhouse.
2:16:40
A school announcement on Instagram says Max's Doctor of
2:16:43
Literature degree comes quote complete with all catnip perks,
2:16:47
scratching post privileges and litterbox responsibilities that
2:16:51
come with it. Don't invite max to a CAGR to celebrate this
2:16:55
weekend. He's still not 21.
2:16:58
Adam Curry: So let me just get this straight. You compare one
2:17:01
of the most important financial innovations in our life to
2:17:07
John C Dvorak: get Ovation Oh, yeah. Well, when the getting a
2:17:11
phony baloney degree in literature, why literature? Or
2:17:15
is it litter litter?
2:17:18
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, when the IRS comes for your money,
2:17:20
they'll get it. They'll have to they'll have to pry it out of my
2:17:24
cold hand my dead hands.
2:17:28
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm just that that clip is really just
2:17:30
saying what a degree is worth in today's world.
2:17:33
Adam Curry: Well, not like our PhDs is a little different. I
2:17:36
John C Dvorak: think those are valuable, very valuable.
2:17:38
Adam Curry: I'd say indeed.
2:17:40
John C Dvorak: I have some random clips I can play or I can
2:17:43
play a series of clips on Mar a Lago case.
2:17:47
Adam Curry: Yeah, the moral Lago I'd like to hear that the MAR a
2:17:49
Lago case is kind of interesting, because it seems I
2:17:51
don't know if if we learn anything new, but it seems like
2:17:55
a there was some coined the phrase trumped up documents that
2:18:00
were shipped over there. Second. Trump is using this to campaign
2:18:06
by saying that the FBI wanted to shoot him.
2:18:12
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, it's all good stuff. I have two ways
2:18:16
I can go with this. There's a bunch of clips, but I'm only
2:18:18
gonna I'm going to run these which are the more complex where
2:18:20
there's three clips the one a two a and three A, skip the
2:18:24
other ones. Start with one A,
2:18:27
Unknown: we've been hearing a lot about Donald Trump's
2:18:29
criminal trial in New York for making hush money payments.
2:18:32
Well, while that one's on pause through the long weekend,
2:18:34
lawyers for Trump and two co defendants appeared in a Florida
2:18:38
court today. In that case, the former president is charged with
2:18:41
taking classified and top secret material to mar a Lago when he
2:18:44
left the White House, then conspiring to hide those
2:18:47
documents from federal investigators and peers. Greg
2:18:50
Allen is at the courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida. Hey, Greg.
2:18:53
Hi. Alright. Tell us what happened in court today.
2:18:55
Well, defense attorneys asked US District Judge Eileen cannon to
2:18:58
dismiss the charges against their clients. They say this
2:19:01
case is politically motivated. The prosecution is quote
2:19:05
selective and vindictive. Federal former President Trump
2:19:08
wasn't here today, but he skipped the session but his two
2:19:11
co defendants were here. The court heard two motions both
2:19:14
filed by Trump's aide Walt Nauta. Now is charged with
2:19:17
moving boxes containing classified documents to
2:19:19
different locations at Mar a Lago in an alleged attempt to
2:19:23
hide them from federal investigators and then lying
2:19:26
about it afterwards. Not as attorney Stanley Woodward told
2:19:28
the judge he believes his client is being prosecuted because he
2:19:31
refused to cooperate with the government's case against his
2:19:34
boss. When not to refuse to be a witness against Trump. Woodward
2:19:38
says prosecutors retaliated by in his words, shoehorning him
2:19:41
into the indictment of the former president, Judge cannon
2:19:43
who's a Trump appointee, you know, and has been criticized
2:19:46
for some rulings in favor. The defense scheme seemed skeptical
2:19:49
a day she said, Isn't that a fairly standard way to try to
