John C Dvorak: Let's have a
meeting. Adam curry Jhansi
0:04
Devorah to 23rd 2020
0:06
Adam Curry: for this award
winning combination media
0:08
assassination episode 1671
0:11
Unknown: This is no agenda
0:16
Adam Curry: and broadcasting
live from the heart of the Texas
0:18
hill country here in the Marines
and number six in the morning
0:21
everybody I'm Adam curry is from
0:23
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon
Valley where everybody knows
0:26
that tea is good for you. I'm
John C. Dvorak.
0:31
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. No, it's
not. Me It's not a tea is good
0:38
for you. This this is not a
fact. It is
0:42
John C Dvorak: asking a Chinese
person.
0:46
Adam Curry: Okay. You got a lot
of them around there. Yeah, you
0:50
got. Have you heard about your
Chinese person in Oakland?
0:56
John C Dvorak: She's among.
0:58
Adam Curry: She's Ma, she's not
Chinese. She's manga. She's
1:01
John C Dvorak: Hmong which is
the Cambodian ethnic group.
1:07
Adam Curry: Okay, I thought it
was pretty I thought the whole I
1:10
thought the whole story where
you want to hear this story? I
1:12
actually I
1:13
John C Dvorak: clipped it for
you. You should play it because
1:15
I don't think anybody knows it.
1:17
Adam Curry: No, this is a part
of the season of reveal. As sees
1:21
John C Dvorak: more like the
season to corruption, but go
1:23
ahead.
1:24
Unknown: It's been 48 hours
since the FBI raided the home of
1:26
Oakland Mayor Shang Tao along
with at least two other
1:29
locations, and the mayor is
nowhere to be seen. We
1:32
still don't know exactly what
the FBI was looking for.
1:35
Yesterday, we heard the mayor
side of the story sort of she
1:38
did hire an attorney, former
prosecutor Tony brass, he
1:43
suggested that there is no
evidence that tau is the target
1:47
investigation, and that she had
no idea was even happening. It
1:50
was my assumption that she would
have been asked for information
1:54
or documents or devices if they
were needed, and that she must
1:58
have refused that if they got a
search warrant. So I'm quite
2:00
surprised that the search
warrant was the first she'd
2:03
heard of this investigation. The
optics are bad, but the fact is
2:07
that she is going to cooperate
with the investigation that she
2:10
would have done that in the
first place. Bras also
2:12
said Mayor Tao is working from a
remote location because of the
2:16
media circus around the raids
and that she will release a
2:19
statement sometime next week. So
2:21
Adam Curry: what's great about
this story is so she is among
2:26
would you say Mung Tao Chuck Tao
Rishi, mung Mung what is
2:30
John C Dvorak: the difference? m
o n g, what
2:33
Adam Curry: is the difference
between Chinese and manga?
2:36
John C Dvorak: Well, the Hmong
are Cambodian, which is anything
2:39
but Chinese. No, it's the south
southeast Asian, all that whole,
2:46
that whole area that he's not
Chinese,
2:48
Adam Curry: do they eat sushi?
2:50
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think
so. All right, but whatever
2:53
that's beside the point. The
mine were kind of escaped from
2:58
Cambodia during the period of
Pol Pot in other situations, and
3:03
they there's lots of Hmong and
in the San Francisco Bay area,
3:07
in fact, if you go to a farmers
market, two or three of the
3:10
stalls are Hmong and they,
they're great if you check with
3:15
their people, the Hmong are
great people. This has got to be
3:18
a huge humiliation. Well, the
Hmong population in the San
3:23
Francisco Bay area because this
woman is apparently corrupt.
3:26
Well,
3:27
Adam Curry: wait, but wait, But
wait, there's more. It's not
3:30
her. Yeah, this is this is the
follow up story. It's not her.
3:35
It's the boyfriend. Yeah, you
didn't know that. Did you?
3:40
John C Dvorak: Well, I didn't I
actually I didn't hear this part
3:43
of it. But I can say this is
that they've been trying to
3:45
recall her long before this
investigation began because
3:49
she's got some screw Enos about
her. Yeah, including the net,
3:53
you know, having some hard on
regarding the ex chief of police
3:58
and some other issues with the
police department. And there's
4:01
been a recall going on for at
least six months. And so
4:06
there's, yeah, maybe the
boyfriend's got something to do
4:08
with it, but she's suspicious.
Well,
4:10
Adam Curry: we have a we have a
former chief of staff who is
4:13
blowing the whistle. And they've
got great video of her, I guess
4:17
during her her election, or I
guess when she was chosen,
4:22
elected as mayor, and he's
behind her leaning over like
4:25
whispering in her ear like,
yeah, tell him tell him this.
4:28
Now, it helps that he's black.
It just makes the whole thing
4:31
fabulous.
4:32
Unknown: When Nia Webb worked
closely with and had access to
4:34
shame town that few people have
for a year and four months. Webb
4:39
served this town's right hand
person working as chief of staff
4:42
when Tao was the district for
council member websites she
4:46
volunteered and spent countless
hours on tells me your old
4:49
campaign in 2022. She says she
also led House transition team
4:54
after Tao won the election. A
lot
4:56
of what's coming out now is the
reason I resigned shortly
4:58
thereafter, winning Bella
Action. She
5:00
was more sad than surprised
about FBI agents rating towels
5:04
home on Thursday.
5:05
I wasn't surprised. I was like
finally. Finally, the truth is
5:10
coming out
5:11
where the truth was Taos
boyfriend Andre Jones of being
5:14
the mastermind and running pay
to play schemes during Taos
5:17
campaign for mayor. And after
she wants.
5:21
I had found out that Andre her
boyfriend was promising people
5:26
jobs in our administration,
promising people appointments on
5:30
different commissions and boards
from out of the mouths of people
5:34
that told me they were promised
positions. They were promised
5:37
board positions and at the mouth
of what they would always
5:41
entree. Yeah, that was who they
say Andre promised me this
5:45
web claims Jones was controlling
and calling the shots. She says
5:48
town went along with him. It
said
5:50
he's making her do things
pushing her to do things that I
5:54
don't believe she would do
otherwise.
5:56
Adam Curry: Blame it on the
boyfriend. Blame it on the man
5:59
John C Dvorak: blame it on the
black guy. Yeah, exactly. Oh,
6:03
brother.
6:04
Adam Curry: He looks pretty
shady. I gotta tell you that
6:07
they got good video of him like
whispered in your ear. Yeah, now
6:12
blame it on the boyfriend. It's
great. It's fantastic.
6:17
John C Dvorak: We all it'll
shake out eventually they
6:19
they've raided a number of
places. I think his house may
6:21
have been one of them. But yeah,
this has been going on for about
6:24
a week or two. So she's not to
be found. Now. She's no, no.
6:30
Adam Curry: remote location is
in Cambodia? Yeah,
6:34
John C Dvorak: she's in
Cambodia.
6:37
Adam Curry: So we're kind of in
the summer doldrums. Although,
6:41
you know, right now, the it's
the big teams, most of the New
6:44
York elite, certainly the news
elite, they're all off to the
6:49
Hamptons. You know, we've got
July 4 weekend coming up, we're
6:53
only going to really focus on
one thing, which is all the
6:56
debate. So all the news is that
debate, the debate, oh Trump in
7:02
the debate. And so instead of
doing what we used to do during
7:07
the summer months, I remember
quite well when I was a kid. And
7:10
I think you remember this as
well. When we hit the summer, it
7:14
will be hot. And we'd show you
know pictures of people at the
7:18
beach. Kids at the swimming
pool. You got some poor fire
7:22
hydrant or kids in the fire
hydrant. Exactly, exactly. And
7:26
be like wow, it's hot. And maybe
that would be a joke, wasn't it?
7:31
Who was it that said sons of
beaches. Remember that whole
7:34
summer when it was it was that
Reagan was that one of the
7:39
Presidents called someone on an
open mic a son of a b and then
7:44
you know the weather guys are
gonna ha it's gonna be son on
7:47
the beaches.
7:49
John C Dvorak: Anyway, remember
that at all? I have to look at
7:52
that. I've looked that one up.
So
7:54
Adam Curry: instead they're so
lazy now we got cop 29 coming up
7:59
in November in Baku. So instead
of just showing the fun little,
8:04
you know, swimming pool the
beaches, it's everyone having a
8:07
good time. It's hard. It's
right. It's hard. The old frying
8:11
an egg on the pavement in New
York. I mean, we've this is what
8:14
we used to do in the summer. No.
Now it's extreme heat climate
8:18
change. Breaking
8:19
Unknown: overnight. Amtrak says
two train lines between Newark,
8:22
New Jersey and New York City are
canceled until further notice.
8:26
Due to an equipment failure that
will surely take a toll on
8:29
today's commute during the
extreme heat extreme service has
8:32
been restored along the rest of
the Northeast Corridor after
8:35
yesterday's power failure was
shut down service. Meanwhile,
8:38
Metro operators in the
Washington DC area had to slow
8:42
down their trains concern the
extreme heat would expand the
8:45
rails and no relief today, ties
could hit 96 In parts of the
8:49
Northeast, and we're expecting
mostly 90 degree readings across
8:53
the Midwest, parts of the Upper
Midwest are dealing with extreme
8:57
flooding, including Minnesota,
and more storms are expected
9:00
today. We'll check your forecast
in just a few moments. It's
9:03
Adam Curry: all extreme. It's so
hot, even though it's three
9:06
weeks later than normally these
hot temperatures come in. We can
9:10
still make it sound like there's
something of a crisis going on.
9:13
Unknown: And you start this off
on the dangerous temperatures in
9:16
the air quality alerts in parts
of the country. Ginger, good
9:18
morning. Hey,
9:19
good morning here in New York
City. We had our first official
9:21
90 of the season. And while that
was three and a half weeks
9:25
behind average look at this shot
from New York City now that
9:29
we've broken the Seal of 90
degrees from web from the
9:33
helicopter there. It's hazy, hot
and humid. We should stay above
9:36
90 throughout the weekend, which
would be then our first official
9:40
heatwave.
9:41
Adam Curry: I mean, it's it's
it's later than usual, but it's
9:44
a heatwave. It's our first 90
We've unsealed it. Oh, no.
9:50
John C Dvorak: But you know,
callate we've topped all this in
9:52
California. Oh, you have? Yeah,
well, I mean, right now it's
9:56
cold out of course. You know,
that's typical. But no, do we
10:00
decide to pass a law.
10:02
Adam Curry: You got a law? What
kind of law did you get? It
10:06
John C Dvorak: played the clip
of California law. Second,
10:09
California
10:10
Adam Curry: law.
10:11
Unknown: And a new rule is in
effect in California protecting
10:14
people who work indoors from
dangerous heat. Oh amperes l
10:18
100. Maroondah has more
10:19
more than a million people in
California work jobs indoors
10:22
that expose them to the kind of
heat that can make people sick.
10:26
Tim Shaddix is the legal
director at the warehouse worker
10:28
Resource Center in southern
California, in the States, 1000s
10:32
of warehouses, the
10:33
worst places we've seen, you
know, in the summer, those
10:36
workplaces, they're kind of
they're like a tin can baking in
10:39
the sun. Employers will now
10:40
have to provide water and
cooldown spaces for employees
10:43
when it's above 82 degrees past
87. They'll have to find ways to
10:47
cool workspaces.
10:51
John C Dvorak: They have to do
this at 82 degrees. You realize
10:55
that people go to Hawaii,
because it's 82 degrees all the
11:00
time. Yeah, yeah, it's
beautiful. It's 82 degrees,
11:04
which is like the perfect
temperature. You know, if you
11:08
want to just enjoy your life.
No, no, now it's like a
11:12
disaster. Yeah. And then if it's
seven, ah, we don't know what
11:16
we're gonna do. Some
11:18
Unknown: employers will now have
to provide water and cooldown
11:20
spaces for employees when it's
above 82 degrees past 87 They'll
11:24
have to find ways to cool
workspaces with tools like fans
11:27
or air conditioning or just work
requirements.
11:31
Adam Curry: Once you say it then
fans air conditioner,
11:34
John C Dvorak: or air
conditioner,
11:36
Unknown: or just work
requirements work is to work
11:39
work
11:40
John C Dvorak: requirement now
there was slow down it's like a
11:42
union Slow down, slow down.
11:45
Adam Curry: Gotta boots on the
ground from one of our
11:47
producers. He says, you know, as
Josh, I was listening to 1670 in
11:51
the New York heat wave as
someone who's worked outside for
11:54
14 years in southern Arizona, I
have little boots on the ground.
11:59
John C Dvorak: Arizona and
that's fine. There we go.
12:01
Adam Curry: When this heat dome
pass through, it was toasty.
12:04
Sure, but local news and radio
blasted out excessive heat
12:08
warnings and dangerous heat
wave. What was the high in
12:12
Tucson on those days? 102. I've
lived in Tucson since 2007.
12:18
ridden motorcycles year round.
Sure it's warm. But I know for a
12:23
fact the first time I heard an
excessive heat warning warming
12:26
warning. It was issued when we
were going to hit 118 The last
12:31
few years still working outside
of notice excessive heat
12:34
warnings being issued over 110
Always that's always thought to
12:38
myself That's strange. That
seems lower than it used to be,
12:41
but it could never remember at
what point they issued the heat
12:44
warnings Well, since it was
registered my mind 110 When they
12:47
issued the 102 Excessive Heat
warning a couple of weeks ago. I
12:50
couldn't believe it. That's a
nice day in the middle of summer
12:53
for Tucson. So he's I agree
everybody's temperature
12:58
everybody's noticing this. But
that's a
13:01
John C Dvorak: scam. This is
ridiculous. The new news media
13:04
is off the rails. Well, we need
13:05
Adam Curry: to keep our eye on
this because this is where
13:08
they're gonna. They're gonna get
us with this nonsense. And we're
13:10
laughing at it but we can't just
laugh about it because it's
13:14
killing the new commerce.
13:15
Unknown: Parts of the US and
Mexico are in the grip of a
13:18
searing heatwave with the
Northeast United States seeing
13:21
record high temperatures on the
southern border with Mexico and
13:25
arid climate already means hot
weather. But now that heat has
13:28
turned deadly for migrants
attempting to cross the border
13:31
migrants.
13:32
Adam Curry: No, not even illegal
migrants migrants. This
13:35
migrants. It's killing the
newcomers. They're dying out
13:38
there of heat exhaustion. And at
the United Nations, they have a
13:41
survey which shows something
that I don't think anybody
13:44
believes the
13:45
Unknown: recent heat waves we've
been across Europe, Asia, and
13:48
now the eastern half of the US
are no surprise to climate
13:51
scientists and UN officials.
13:54
off the highway to climates.
Yes, we exceed Dominus 100 over
13:59
Maine and New Brunswick, Canada,
so that's where the most intense
14:03
departure from average is going
to occur.
14:05
The record temperatures across
Asia Europe and the Middle East
14:09
have reportedly caused hundreds
of deaths, including many Muslim
14:13
pilgrims attending the harsh at
the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Saudi
14:17
state TV reported temperatures
hitting nearly 52 degrees
14:21
Celsius. But we
14:22
concluded from the studies that
human induced warming from
14:26
burning fossil fuels made the
five day maximum temperature
14:30
event about 1.4 degrees hotter
than it used to be. In the pre
14:36
industrial period.
14:37
A new UN report surveyed more
than 75,000 people across 77
14:41
countries 80% or four out of
five people globally want their
14:46
governments to take stronger
actions to tackle the climate
14:50
crisis.
14:51
Over half of people said they
think about the climate crisis
14:54
either daily or weekly, and two
thirds say that they incorporate
14:59
decisions around their, their
lives, what their where they
15:02
live, what, what, where they
work, what they buy,
15:05
by taking into account the
climate crisis? Do
15:09
Adam Curry: they take into
account the climate crisis? Or
15:11
do they take into account the
weather? I'm gonna think it's
15:15
the weather. Oh, look at this
cute top. Let me think that
15:20
would be perfect for the climate
crisis this summer. This is so
15:24
ridiculous. You know,
15:26
John C Dvorak: the other thing
is about these deaths at the
15:28
Adam Curry: highs. I went all
the people die in there.
15:31
John C Dvorak: There's always it
and they're usually from out of
15:33
town because the locals in the
Middle East.
15:37
Adam Curry: What do you what are
you from around here?
15:40
John C Dvorak: You're not from
around there. They're from
15:41
Indonesia. You know, the big
Muslim country in the world is
15:44
Indonesia. And there's other
countries they got a lot of a
15:47
lot of Muslims, they go to the
Hajj once in their life. Yeah.
15:50
And then they did stay out.
There never been to the Middle
15:53
East. And they don't know you
don't even go outside between my
15:56
tickets like 1130 and four. And
it's unbelievable.
16:01
Adam Curry: They had a lot of a
lot of reports on the BBC when I
16:04
was still over there. I'm back
in Texas, obviously when I was
16:07
still over there. And it was
about these people who had died
16:11
and they had a horrible stories
like some grandma who's 72
16:15
called with a last dying breath
called her daughter. You know,
16:19
as she she she dies on the
phone. And what most of them
16:24
were talking about was that they
had no illegal tour operators
16:28
who weren't officially
sanctioned to bring people over
16:32
to the Hajj. As like some people
scamming them and like not
16:37
giving them water and shelter.
Wow. Yeah, yeah.
16:43
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're
basically murderers.
16:45
Adam Curry: So I just want to
stick with the climate crisis
16:49
here. Joy re read had an
interesting twist on the on the
16:56
money scamming being done off of
this,
16:59
Unknown: that will begin tonight
with the lucrative Politics of
17:02
Climate collapse and the greed
that is literally letting our
17:05
country burn. Okay.
17:10
Adam Curry: So instead of people
ripping us off for this
17:12
nonsense, she's just twisted it
around. I think that's what we
17:15
call gaslighting.
17:17
Unknown: Today. Millions of
Americans from Iowa to Maine are
17:19
suffering through heat warnings
or advisories full on
17:23
Adam Curry: stop. She's correct.
We're only suffering through the
17:26
warnings, not the actual heat.
That's exactly
17:28
John C Dvorak: what I noticed.
There's suffering from heat
17:31
warnings
17:33
Adam Curry: and advisories. I am
suffering from that.
17:35
Unknown: Yes. Today. Millions of
Americans from Iowa to Maine are
17:38
suffering through heat warnings,
watches or advisories, cities
17:43
across half of the country like
Chicago, St. Louis, in the
17:45
apple, Indianapolis, Detroit,
Philly, and now New York, are
17:49
hitting temperatures exceeding
90 degrees.
17:52
Oh, no.
17:55
It feels closer to 100.
17:58
Adam Curry: This, this feels
like it has got to stop. I mean,
18:02
this feels like
18:03
John C Dvorak: a good point.
That is that has become a common
18:07
occurrence. Yeah. Feels
18:09
Adam Curry: feels like and it's
like, do you really know the
18:12
difference between 92 and 100? A
feel and why does it feels like
18:17
is that because of the wet bulb
is that? Well, we're back to now
18:20
feels like
18:21
John C Dvorak: that's what I'm
guessing are hitting
18:23
Unknown: temperatures exceeding
90 degrees Fahrenheit. So it
18:26
feels closer to 100. Many of
these cities could experience
18:30
heat indexes hitting 105
degrees,
18:34
Adam Curry: HEAT indexes, mind
you heat indexes. That's not the
18:37
temperature. It's the heat
index. 105
18:41
Unknown: degrees by Sunday looks
increasingly oppressive hot days
18:45
article incidents. They are they
are the predictable impact of
18:50
the climate crisis.
18:51
Adam Curry: Oops, you flubbed
that one too, which is
18:53
interesting is
18:53
Unknown: increasingly
oppressive. hot days aren't a
18:55
coincidence. They aren't. They
are the predictable impacts of
18:59
climate crisis. And they're not
just an inconvenience. They're
19:02
also killing us at higher rates,
killing us heat related deaths
19:06
among older Americans have
increased 54% In recent decades.
19:11
In Florida, changing weather
patterns are bombarding the
19:14
southern tip of the state with a
seemingly never ending series of
19:17
storms that have left whole
streets flooded cars crippled
19:20
and two people dead. In
California, more than 20 fires
19:25
sparked across the state since
Saturday. We're running over
19:28
20,000 acres.
19:30
John C Dvorak: But we have 300
million people in this country.
19:32
We had two people dead. Yeah,
19:34
Adam Curry: but you know, hey,
it could have been you and
19:37
listen to the fires
19:39
Unknown: in California. More
than 20 fires were sparked
19:41
across the state since Saturday,
burning over whizzes 1000 acres.
19:46
These aren't just climate
stories. They're actually
19:49
economic stories because people
are getting paid good money to
19:53
ignore them. Ah
19:57
ha
19:57
John C Dvorak: money for
ignoring it.
19:59
Adam Curry: Well thinks she's
talking about us these
20:01
podcasters good money,
20:03
John C Dvorak: but we're not
getting any we're not getting
20:04
good money. The least. No
20:08
Adam Curry: kidding. Well,
there's part two to this
20:10
Unknown: not only a big donors
bought themselves, some
20:12
politicians, they got some
podcasters in their pocket too.
20:15
But they've also bought
themselves a federal judiciary
20:17
that cares more about rich
corporations and wealthy donors
20:21
than they do about your health
and well being. The Supreme
20:24
Court is the most pro oligarch
of All Time Pro
20:28
Adam Curry: oligarch of all. So
this is some this is some good
20:32
script writing. I mean, she's
really nailing it with the heat
20:35
index and the fields like and
and the old pro oligarch. I
20:42
guess he's talking about the
Supreme Court. We do have an
20:45
interesting twist, although she
won't mention it by name.
20:47
Unknown: The six Leonard Leo,
Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh,
20:50
Gorsuch, Alito, Roberts, and
Thomas, have the most I repeat
20:54
the most pro big business voting
records in the history of the
20:59
court.
21:00
Adam Curry: Is that true? Can we
verify that you can verify that
21:04
the most pro business will
oligarch this is again,
21:07
John C Dvorak: this is all about
the Chevron deference? Right.
21:11
Adam Curry: Listen, listen.
21:12
Unknown: They've ruled that
corporations are people that the
21:15
Environmental Protection Agency
cannot protect you from
21:17
pollution, and they're ready to
stop
21:20
John C Dvorak: it. At least
three of those justices weren't
21:24
involved in the corporations are
people decision. Yeah, they were
21:29
on their own three dates. It
predates Dorset, it predates
21:33
good Kashmir, it predates the
other way. Leader, good catch,
21:38
so she's a liar. No. Stop
rambling.
21:44
Unknown: Our mental protection
agency cannot protect you from
21:46
pollution. And they're ready to
go even further by stifling the
21:49
regulatory power of all federal
agencies.
21:54
Adam Curry: stifling the power,
I can't wait for Chevron
21:57
deference to come up. That's
going to be it's going to be so
22:00
John C Dvorak: cool to freak out
though is it's weird. Why? Why
22:04
is she or anybody else defending
the bureaucratic state? Is
22:09
Adam Curry: it because possibly,
that really is the deep state
22:14
and this is where they get
their, their information from?
22:18
And this isn't, you know,
they've got their buddies on the
22:20
inside. I mean, it's all
whenever Veritas now what is the
22:25
name? O'Keefe? Whenever O'Keefe
gets someone, which is usually
22:30
some poor gay guy, it's always
someone from inside the admin.
22:36
Yeah, inside these agencies.
Yeah. So you've got to think
22:40
that that's probably where the
news media gets everything from
22:44
and that CIA is also an agency
FBI is an agency, all these
22:48
agencies are? Well, I'm not so
sure about the CIA and FBI, but
22:53
But EPA department education, I
mean, Department of Homeland
22:58
Security, these are all these
are all on they're all on the
23:01
block potentially.
23:03
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, this
would be a CIA and FBI wouldn't
23:05
be. They're not doing policy, so
much as no secret police work.
23:12
Yeah.
23:14
Adam Curry: Round shirt stuff.
23:15
John C Dvorak: But it's like
this freak out still. And I will
23:19
repeat this complaint of mine,
which is that we never had this
23:23
Chevron deference before 1984.
And we had plenty of these
23:27
agencies. I was one of more in
one in one of them. And they got
23:33
along just fine. Famously, they
didn't need anything any special
23:37
help now was and then they got
the special help. And it was
23:41
ironic because it was when the
EPA was pulled back with the
23:45
rains where they were pulled in
by the Reagan administration to
23:48
do less regulating. That's when
they get when the suit happened.
23:52
It was just kind of the Beyond
ironic. And then they realized
23:57
that they could make hay with
this and so once the Democrats
24:02
gotten in power then they went
the other direction nobody could
24:05
do anything about it. But before
1984 there was not an issue why
24:09
is it now suddenly an issue?
24:12
Adam Curry: Well, NPR is on the
is starting to wise up to a
24:15
couple of things mainly the scam
that is the carbon offsets,
24:21
which I mean, you can buy this
on your plane trip ticket when
24:25
you rent cars. There's all kinds
of different places well once
24:29
you add a 2% or 5% and save the
earth if you've ever wondered if
24:36
that's a scam, people who get
whooped you ever wonder if
24:39
that's a scam? listen to NPR
first of what
24:42
Unknown: really is a carbon
offset.
24:44
I spoke to Danny Colin ward at
UPenn about this. He says an
24:48
offset is basically a promise.
24:51
It's a promise that somebody
else did something good
24:54
somewhere else that resulted in
a climate benefit.
24:56
It could be a promise that
someone protected a forest That
25:00
would have been cut down, or a
promise that someone made a wind
25:03
farm and switch from fossil
fuels. The key promise being
25:07
your money is actually reducing
or removing a planet heating
25:12
pollution, like that carbon
dioxide pollution from your
25:15
flight or your car rental. But
Barbara hya at UC Berkeley says
25:20
there's a problem.
25:21
Most offsets don't represent
what they claim. There are
25:25
two big ways many offsets can be
false promises. First, many
25:30
offset projects over estimate
their impact. For example, many
25:35
offset projects that claim
they're saving forests from
25:38
deforestation, research finds
many are getting money for
25:42
forests that don't actually need
protection. So then
25:45
is there any actual
accountability? If a carbon
25:48
offset company makes a climate
claim? That's false? Is there a
25:51
way for consumers to take
action? Or is there enforcement
25:55
here? In
25:56
California, there is a bill in
the state assembly right now.
26:00
All those promises of climate
benefits that carbon offset
26:03
companies make this bill would
make those claims legally
26:07
enforceable.
26:08
Adam Curry: So there's still
time to get in. I think we
26:12
didn't Isn't this where the
whole net for humanity came
26:14
from? This is not where the
whole idea came?
26:16
John C Dvorak: Yes. I think
there was one. That was like, I
26:21
think we did that a little over
a decade ago. Let me check on
26:25
mine. If you remember, there was
a vending machines at airports,
26:30
they all disappeared, that we're
selling carbon offsets. So when
26:34
you took your flight, how many
miles you're going and you get a
26:38
little coupon that said, you you
you thank you, you save the
26:41
Earth
26:41
Adam Curry: 2017 I think is when
we first got that jingling. So
26:45
we were probably talking about
it in 2016. And the whole idea
26:50
was you could have no agenda
producers take a nap because
26:53
it'd be less carbon dioxide
exuded. And, and that will be
26:59
carbon offset. And so it seems
like there's no regulation it's
27:02
it's a bonanza, it's a free for
all. Let's listen to some more
27:06
from NPR.
27:07
Unknown: That feels like a big
problem if your money isn't
27:09
actually reducing as much
climate pollution as the offset
27:12
claims. What's the other issue?
27:14
Something called permanent
offsets are supposed to reduce
27:18
or remove carbon dioxide
pollution, right? The carbon
27:21
dioxide, some carbon dioxide
stays in the atmosphere hundreds
27:25
of years, some co2 sticks around
even longer.
27:32
Adam Curry: Wait, some co2
sticks around for 1000s of
27:35
years? What is this magical
dust? By the way, I think the
27:40
troll room was right. It must
have been much earlier than
27:42
2017.
27:43
John C Dvorak: It must it must
have been I think it was over 10
27:45
years. Yeah.
27:46
Adam Curry: Oh, no, I think
you're right. Let's go back to
27:48
this this carbon dioxide that
hangs around for 1000 years.
27:52
Unknown: Some co2 sticks around
even longer 1000s of years
27:57
1000s.
27:58
Adam Curry: How do they know it?
Is there still Jesus carbon
28:01
dioxide hanging around?
28:03
Unknown: Here's the thing. The
vast majority of carbon offsets
28:06
only promised to remove or store
co2 emissions for 40 years or
28:11
less. Colin Ward says a 40 year
promise of reducing emissions
28:16
does not compare to a 300 year
or several 1000 year impact of
28:21
carbon dioxide.
28:23
So if a lot of these are false
promises, is the government
28:26
doing anything to address these
issues with offsets consumers?
28:29
And
28:30
Adam Curry: I just love I just I
just love the breathiness or the
28:33
two. John is there. Is there
really anything that we can do
28:37
about these offsets? I don't
know.
28:45
Unknown: If a lot of these are
false promises is the government
28:48
doing anything to address these
issues with offsets consumers
28:51
and companies are buying.
28:52
Late last month the Treasury
Secretary Janet Yellen announced
28:56
new principles for high quality
Janet
28:59
Adam Curry: Yellen. Janet Yellen
announced something
29:04
John C Dvorak: she's a
climatologist you didn't know
29:06
that consumers and
29:07
Unknown: companies are buying.
29:09
Late last month the Treasury
Secretary Janet Yellen announced
29:12
new principles for high quality
carbon offsets.
29:16
Adam Curry: Ah, there we go.
29:18
John C Dvorak: The low quality
carbon offsets now we're gonna
29:21
have the high quality carbon
we're
29:23
Adam Curry: number one foam
finger number one for
29:25
Unknown: our offsets high
quality that is offsets that
29:28
actually reduce or remove
climate pollution, that climate
29:32
pollution even these new
principles have gaps. For
29:35
example, the principles do not
identify how long offsets have
29:39
to keep carbon dioxide out of
the atmosphere no number. Also,
29:43
these are just principles,
researchers worry without
29:46
enforcement, these voluntary
principles might or might not be
29:50
followed. A Treasury
spokesperson said though the
29:53
principles released last month
are voluntary. We believe they
29:57
can help guide efforts to
address the challenges Okay.
30:00
Okay,
30:00
Adam Curry: I finally figured it
out. It's the exit strategy to
30:03
end all exit strategies ready?
Okay,
30:05
John C Dvorak: I'm all ears. How
much
30:08
Adam Curry: carbon because we
can't say carbon dioxide. How
30:11
much carbon do you think is
caused by every episode of the
30:15
no agenda show taking into
account? The work that you and I
30:19
do the seven 800,000 people who
listen, the computers, the
30:25
phones they're using? This has
got to be quite a lot of carbon,
30:29
don't you think?
30:32
John C Dvorak: I have no idea.
Let's put a number on it.
30:35
Theoretically, yes, I've had to
have a clip coming up, right.
30:39
But let's just stick with what
makes it even worse, whatever it
30:42
is, whatever the number is. So
whatever
30:44
Adam Curry: it is, I think we
should sell carbon offsets to
30:49
stop us from podcasting. So,
think about it. We
30:55
John C Dvorak: have a
counterintuitive,
30:57
Adam Curry: no, it's fantastic.
It's a we need to sell the
31:00
carbon offsets so that we don't
waste all of this energy and
31:05
carbon this beings being just
sloshed into the air. And the
31:10
carbon that we are exhaling
right now, will be around for
31:14
1000s of years. It's high
quality carbon that we are
31:18
getting rid of me.
31:23
John C Dvorak: Okay. All right.
What's your clip? Once you go?
31:27
Well, these clips are about AI
and how it's affecting the
31:30
climate and ruining the day
ruined everything. The
31:34
Unknown: rise of artificial
intelligence is requiring faster
31:37
and bigger computations for even
simple tasks. Then for say, a
31:41
Google search. It's adding to
the demand for more internet
31:44
data centers, the places that
house all those servers that
31:47
keep the internet running. But
as Ali Rogen reports, there's a
31:51
price to pay for that
31:52
demand for data centers is
growing rapidly. But these
31:55
facilities come at a big
environmental cost, especially
31:59
for the communities that host
them. Northern Virginia is the
32:02
largest data center hub in the
world. The area is responsible
32:05
for processing nearly 70% of
global digital traffic. It's a
32:09
rate that local officials say is
unsustainable. Saatchi Kitajima
32:13
Mulkey is a science journalist
and writer for the climate focus
32:16
news outlet gris Saatchi, thank
you so much for joining us.
32:19
First of all, tell us a little
bit more about what a data
32:22
center is. And why don't we?
32:25
Adam Curry: Why do we need so
many data centers never
32:27
Unknown: we use the internet,
upload photos to the cloud, send
32:29
emails, watch a video, all of
that data and digital
32:32
information needs a home and it
lives in these huge facilities
32:35
called data centers, which hold
10s of 1000s of servers each and
32:39
they process all that digital
information for us. Something
32:42
like 70% of the world's digital
information is processed by a
32:46
cluster of data centers in
Virginia alone. And there are
32:48
over 5000 facilities in the US.
32:51
Well, what are the environmental
impacts of having some of these
32:54
data centers in your backyard?
32:55
So to process all that
information, they need two
32:58
things. The first is
electricity, of course to
33:00
physically crunch and process
all that gigabyte going on.
33:03
Adam Curry: Oh, all that
gigabyte going on?
33:08
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is our
this is our super This is the
33:10
science and technology writer.
We just need to talk like that
33:13
from now on. Hey, man, they're
getting they're processing all
33:16
that gigabytes.
33:17
Adam Curry: I got a lot of
gigabyte going on. How about
33:18
you, John?
33:20
John C Dvorak: I got gigabyte
going on. To be honest about it.
33:24
I have terabyte going on?
33:26
Adam Curry: Oh, it's remember,
it's not the size. He's got
33:31
terabyte All right. All right.
This
33:33
John C Dvorak: is good. So we
already know that we have
33:36
they're talking to an idiot. So
we're gonna get good material
33:41
out of this person. I'm loving
it already information,
33:43
Unknown: they need two things.
The first is electricity, of
33:46
course to physically crunch and
process all that gigabyte, go
33:49
Adam Curry: physically crunch,
John is physically crunch.
33:52
There's actually
33:53
John C Dvorak: a crunch. You
actually missed that until now.
33:56
Yeah. Physically physically
crunching, grinders at these
34:00
data centers, big giant rocks
that roll around pulled by oxen,
34:05
just
34:05
Adam Curry: to remind everybody
34:07
Unknown: elitist voices of
America. This is NPR or PBS
34:13
information,
34:14
they need two things. The first
is electricity, of course, to
34:17
physically crunch and process
all that gigabyte going on. The
34:20
other is water, which are used
in cooling systems to protect
34:23
these servers from physically
overheating. And researchers
34:25
think they're in the top 10
Water consuming industries in
34:27
the US they use 2% of the
electricity in the US, which is
34:30
a lot. And A source told me that
data center campuses can use the
34:34
resources equivalent to a small
city and as AI booms, they'll
34:37
use even more the average AI
application uses six times the
34:40
amount of electricity so they
run a lot hotter. And that
34:44
scales exponentially. They just
need more water to cool down.
34:47
Whoa, whoa.
34:48
Adam Curry: Whoa, she said that
scales exponentially. That's
34:52
kind of a contradiction that
she's saying there. So it gets
34:55
really hot need a lot of water
that scales exponentially.
34:59
John C Dvorak: I think she Just
using words, is
35:02
Unknown: even more, the average
AI application uses six times
35:04
the amount of electricity. So
they run a lot hotter. And that
35:08
scales exponentially. They just
need more water to cool down.
35:11
And how do these data centers in
the United States and the world
35:15
of water
35:15
John C Dvorak: do pull down to
cool down to cool down or to
35:18
cool down? Okay.
35:20
Adam Curry: But but you know,
35:23
John C Dvorak: I find it by the
way, the one overlooked fat
35:25
facet to this, as I find
interesting is that 70% Of all
35:30
the data centers are in, in and
around randomly. Yeah,
35:33
Unknown: hmm. So you run a lot
hotter, and that scales
35:37
exponentially. They just need
more water to cool down.
35:40
And how do these data centers in
the United States and around the
35:43
world affect global efforts to
decarbonize?
35:46
It's tricky, because right now,
we are building out green energy
35:50
solutions at a great scale. It's
happening really fast, but it
35:53
might not be happening fast
enough. Currently, a lot of the
35:56
grid is still running on fossil
fuels, and even plans in
35:59
Virginia to shut down you know,
coal firing plants may not go
36:03
through because these data
centers need so much energy that
36:06
grid operators need to fire
those coal plants backup or just
36:09
keep them running in order to
meet all that demand. So and one
36:12
of the talking points of these
data center reform coalition's
36:15
I've spoken to is that that's a
step backwards from clean energy
36:19
goals and kind of almost a
betrayal of some of the promises
36:22
certain states have made to you
know, get off of carbon.
36:25
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. Get off a
carbon. Yes, she
36:28
John C Dvorak: says cold coal
firing, Isn't it cold coal him
36:32
sorry, coal coal fired, coal
fired.
36:36
Adam Curry: She's obviously a
nincompoop. Well, she's on her
36:41
way. Wow. Exit Strategy become
tech journalists at PBS. Madam
36:48
is John we're crunching the
gigabytes for you right here on
36:51
PBS.
36:54
John C Dvorak: Okay, with
clipper we
36:55
Adam Curry: are number three.
This is shorty need to set it up
36:58
this shorty? Yes, no, this
36:59
John C Dvorak: is shorty for a
reason you'll hear it when you
37:01
when you hear it.
37:02
Unknown: And many of these data
centers are located in densely
37:05
populated residential areas.
What's it like to live near one?
37:09
Yeah, you
37:09
know they're built near schools
and neighborhoods protected
37:12
nature parks in Virginia in
particular. And one big impact
37:16
is that they're really loud they
hum and they bring all this
37:19
noise pollution to the area.
37:20
Adam Curry: That's bull crap
She's confusing it with with the
37:24
Bitcoin miners I don't know what
she's talking about. Data
37:28
centers are completely quiet
than ones that these goals no
37:31
John C Dvorak: noise pollution,
Atom noise pollution from the
37:34
giant data centers because it's
buzzing. That's
37:37
Adam Curry: total horse crap.
That's total it's the crypto
37:40
mining guys who have no cooling
they just have an open roof and
37:45
they point all fans up toward
the roof yet those are noisy but
37:49
not this stuff. Bynum believe it
wow okay, no,
37:54
John C Dvorak: they're not noise
I've been I actually visited may
37:57
East ones which is one of the I
built I built
38:00
Adam Curry: an exchange in
Amsterdam
38:02
John C Dvorak: Don't make noise
it all
38:04
Adam Curry: on the outside they
don't know. They can get noisy
38:07
inside.
38:08
John C Dvorak: Yeah, because of
all the fans but yeah, all the
38:10
internal fans are just blowing
on the CPUs yeah sure. I have a
38:15
couple of computers that make a
lot of racket I went to didn't
38:17
add noise pollution outside I
was
38:20
Adam Curry: at Mae Mae East when
they had that flooding Do you
38:22
remember that? I do remember
that that was 90 That must have
38:27
been 95 or 96 It was always
38:30
John C Dvorak: take me east by
some very cynical guy. He showed
38:35
me around and he says and then
we as we leave this like the
38:38
exit from there as you drive out
through this like a parking lot
38:43
underground parking lot
basically. So you drive he says
38:46
look at see we'd look above us
as we're driving I see those
38:49
things those are the main cables
if you had a truck that's too
38:52
big to tear him apart and bring
down the whole internet and
38:56
everything that was pointed out
what a what a flaky operation it
39:00
was what
39:01
Adam Curry: so we should
probably explain the the May is
39:06
m au A stands for metropolitan
area exchange and we had that
39:11
was the big one on the east
coast we had the Mae West of
39:14
course on the west coast we had
the am six the Amsterdam we
39:18
still have these
39:20
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're
done they're not as important as
39:21
they once were. No, no, but no,
they're not all the traffic all
39:25
the internet traffic used to go
through all these things because
39:28
you had to pay carriage to to
get a good one. No, we had no in
39:33
peering feeds. We had period
period period hammies was
39:36
peering happened, that was the
end of it. Well, peering was
39:39
Adam Curry: great for a while,
but then, you know, then they
39:41
all got to consolidate and all
became like, what do we have now
39:45
AT and T and Comcast Comcast?
Yeah. And there's maybe one of
39:51
the Oh, how about MCI? Those
guys still around?
39:55
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
All right, onward. All
39:58
Unknown: that concrete also
means a huge increase. Some
40:00
stormwater runoff, because that
rain can no longer soak into the
40:02
ground. It all has to go
somewhere what?
40:06
concrete.
40:10
And so the amount of electricity
also could be more than the grid
40:14
may be able to handle. So when
there's an outage, there's kind
40:16
of a question of who gets the
power of residents or data
40:19
centers.
40:20
Were talking to you now via
Skype. We're using a lot of data
40:22
to do it, though a
40:25
Adam Curry: lot of data on
Skype.
40:28
John C Dvorak: Talking to you
now on Skype, there's a lot of
40:31
data involved. What are you
nuts? How
40:33
Adam Curry: much gigabyte? Are
we crunching on Skype right now?
40:37
Okay, I hope there's a good
comeback in this final dough.
40:41
John C Dvorak: This is
ridiculous. This entire report,
40:44
our classic PBS reporters,
they're clueless,
40:48
Unknown: as we increasingly rely
on this type of cloud computing,
40:52
to do so many things. We use
apps we use, we do virtual
40:56
meetings, that kind of thing. Is
there any way that these data
40:59
centers can continue to expand?
Can I just got to
41:02
Adam Curry: hear that, again, we
use apps I just got I just have
41:05
to soak in the the nonsense. You
know, meanwhile, we have the
41:10
twit network going out of
business. And this is what we're
41:13
left with is sad.
41:15
Unknown: As we increasingly rely
on this type of cloud computing,
41:19
to do so many things. We use
apps we use, we do virtual
41:23
meetings, that kind of thing. Is
there any way that these data
41:26
centers can continue to expand,
continue to grow and support all
41:29
this usage? But do so in a more
environmentally friendly way?
41:33
No, clear? No,
41:34
it is possible to build cooling
systems that use less water, but
41:38
we don't really see those built
out at scale yet. And you could
41:41
power them with green energy.
But again, right now we have a
41:44
grid that's kind of stuck on
fossil fuels, and we're slowly
41:47
making the transition to green
energy, but maybe not fast
41:49
enough to meet all this demand.
First, before we can really know
41:53
what we need to do next, we just
need more transparency from the
41:55
industry, which scientists and
activists both told me is pretty
41:58
secretive. Google is saying it's
a leader in sustainable data
42:01
centers. And they only began
releasing their water usage data
42:05
a couple of years ago after a
lawsuit. And
42:07
to that transparency point, I
want to play for you a soundbite
42:10
from an environmental activist
in Northern Virginia, as we've
42:13
said, where so many of these
data data centers are located.
42:16
One of the big things that
concerns me is that some of
42:20
these data center companies are
claiming to be holding federal
42:24
or Department of Defense
servers, and therefore their
42:29
critical infrastructure and
cannot be allowed to go down.
42:32
And so there's this this
question of who gets the water
42:35
in a drought situation? And are
they going to leverage that kind
42:39
of argument of national
security? to potentially say
42:43
they get the water first?
42:45
Are there any safeguards that
exist to make sure that these
42:48
companies are being honest about
the types of companies that
42:51
they're supporting with their
servers and and what the effect
42:55
on the environment is?
42:56
We're kind of trusting companies
to be transparent and do the
42:59
right thing. There are a lot of
companies like to tell
43:02
sustainability goals. But
truthfully, we're trying to get
43:05
laws through in Virginia right
now, a couple of bills were
43:07
introduced in Virginia and in
other states, but they're not
43:10
getting a lot of traction until
we have that research we need.
43:13
And so right now, Virginia is
conducting a data center impact
43:16
study. And the results of that
will come out later this year,
43:19
hopefully, I mean, we're just
seeing a lot of action in
43:21
Virginia in particular, yeah,
43:23
Adam Curry: this there's
something going on with
43:24
Virginia. And that's what the
what the why they put these
43:27
idiots on this report, because
really, the data centers, Utah.
43:33
You know, there's some pretty
big ones in Texas. There's a lot
43:36
being built here. I don't
understand this whole reports
43:39
focus on Virginia, there's
something else happening with
43:42
data centers in Virginia.
43:45
John C Dvorak: I have to agree
because it's this vicious way
43:48
that area in the reporting.
43:49
Adam Curry: Now I just realized
I want to stay on this for a
43:51
moment because there
43:53
John C Dvorak: will be end of
it. Yeah, that's that's your
43:55
five. Okay.
43:57
Adam Curry: There was an
interview with President Trump.
44:01
And this was actually quite I
couldn't even watch the whole
44:04
thing. It was the all in crew,
which is Dallas capitalist
44:09
John C Dvorak: JKL well,
44:10
Adam Curry: so J cow. put on a
suit and tie and like 1970s
44:16
Buggles glasses.
44:18
John C Dvorak: i By the way it
can I make one quick comment
44:21
about that outfit? He was
wearing fleece? Because you know
44:24
him I know we both know him run
into him. What? Yes, what a Joe
44:30
he usually wears a turtleneck
but that but here he's wearing
44:34
and I was trying to figure out
why is he wearing this outfit?
44:38
Because it doesn't look like
anything he's ever worn before
44:41
he showed up on the Jesse waters
show brought to promote the
44:45
interview. To promote the
interview and waters call them J
44:49
cow and he comes up J kioku.
Kerrison stupid nicknames
44:53
because he's like J Lo get it.
44:57
Adam Curry: Makes it even
funnier cocktail. Yeah,
44:59
John C Dvorak: that's it.
Exactly why he's using this this
45:01
moniker. And so he's wearing
this suit and this pink tie and
45:05
it's like, why is he wearing
this outfit? And I realized who
45:09
it is it said, That guy that's
on Shark Tank. The Well Dressed
45:13
guys shows up a lot on different
Fox shows. I can't remember his
45:18
name, Mr. Wonderful. That's the
guy who's Mr. Wonderful. He's
45:24
Adam Curry: the guy who's so
sharply dressed on there all
45:27
these
45:27
John C Dvorak: guys His name is
so somebody that Oh, leering.
45:31
Oh, Larry. Larry. Oh, Larry.
Yeah, he's
45:33
Adam Curry: Mr. Wonderful. Well,
he's
45:36
John C Dvorak: always dressed to
the 10s He's wearing a cufflinks
45:40
he's wearing an expensive suit.
He's got that exact same look.
45:43
That's what Calacanis is
copying. He's looked he sees
45:47
Wow, this guy's getting a lot of
attention. Maybe if I dress like
45:50
because Calacanis is a copycat
cancer what he's
45:55
Adam Curry: is we known him
since the days of Silicon Alley
45:58
when he was writing a rag he was
literally around right
46:02
John C Dvorak: to do the
producer stuff that we did once
46:05
and one of his is doing he
started pot he took big talk Leo
46:08
into using this week and what
startups No no,
46:11
Adam Curry: he stole it. He
stole it from Leo. Well, he's
46:14
John C Dvorak: I'm not I don't
think so. Okay, well, you would
46:17
know Leo gave him permission.
Oh, Leo, only because he thought
46:22
that Calacanis was gonna, you
know, he didn't think he was
46:25
going to be a competitor. It
just Yeah, sure. Go ahead and
46:29
use it. No, okay. He doesn't
steal stuff. He, he's, he's a
46:32
copycat, but he's not. He's not
a thief. And so he took that
46:36
little game permission. So yeah,
okay. So he ran out with a whole
46:39
series of this this week. And
you know, when it failed anyway,
46:43
he's now he's this thing here.
It looks like it's semi
46:45
successful when
46:46
Adam Curry: I was. Well, he's
got David Sacks on and Chum off,
46:50
whatever, you know, chum off.
What's the guy's name?
46:52
John C Dvorak: He's got a good
team. Yeah, no, those guys. Now
46:55
he's dressing up like, Larry.
46:58
Adam Curry: When I was living in
LA, remember, Christina moved
47:00
out there for a little bit. And
she lived in LA, you may not
47:02
remember. But she did. And you
know, she was basically looking
47:07
for it was a weird period. And
you know, that was going through
47:09
divorce was It was messy. It was
a messy, messy time. The she was
47:13
out there, and she was living
with a bunch of weirdos and I
47:16
was trying to keep my eye on
her. And I was trying to get her
47:19
a gig and then I was on
Calacanis his show, which, what
47:23
was it wasn't This Week in
Startups. It was something maybe
47:27
it was I remember that he had,
he had his kind of little
47:30
company there. And I took
Christina and he said, Oh, yeah,
47:34
no, come back. And, and so she
did an interview, she
47:38
interviewed for a job there. And
she came back said, I'm never
47:41
going to work for that creep.
Dad, that guy's weird. My
47:44
daughter wouldn't even work for
him.
47:47
John C Dvorak: So there's other
people that went through that,
47:50
you know,
47:51
Adam Curry: Molly wood for a
while Molly was even
47:55
John C Dvorak: a good sale is he
is an excellent sales guy. And
48:00
he knows how to do it. He says,
Yeah, he's really good. Yeah.
48:04
And so he's done well for
himself. And I, you know, enjoy.
48:09
He definitely talked like just
as much you notice this when he
48:11
resigned,
48:12
Adam Curry: but his whole thing,
what he did well, is he he kind
48:20
of got into that Y Combinator
group and invested in some
48:23
things early. And that's why he
got into Uber early. And then
48:27
you know, he invested in Tesla
early, because through his
48:31
contacts at Sequoia I think we
got a rule off the hill dropping
48:36
him to Oh, Rudolph, I heard from
Rudolph Rudolph is the CEO now
48:39
he's the David Rudolph is the is
the South African Cabal, the
48:43
other part, the part of Elon
that actually does stuff behind
48:45
the scenes. And, and, you know,
and so he's Elon is best friend.
48:52
I remember he was at the
takeover of Twitter, and he was
48:55
oh, maybe I should be the CEO.
Goodbye. I haven't forgotten
49:00
that. Remember, he was kind of
vying to be be
49:03
John C Dvorak: CEO. Anyway,
well, he's you know, he does he
49:07
is a good sales guy but he
doesn't he's not perfect so I
49:11
can't pull everything up look
but this idea of wearing this
49:14
suit and tie that he's got let's
check I just shake shake him and
49:17
he's got a different kind of
hair cut those glasses you
49:20
talked about he's he's posing as
a poser.
49:24
Adam Curry: He kind of looks
like a 70s studio 54 coke dealer
49:29
Don't you think in the way he
looks now? Yeah, maybe
49:34
John C Dvorak: it might be an
interesting anyway. It's just
49:36
and who knows? I don't know.
What's he up to? We don't know.
49:39
Well, first let me just say but
he did get he get on. He got on
49:42
waters and waters lapped it up
like I
49:45
Adam Curry: want to say the
world would be a lot less
49:49
colorful without Jason. I'm I
mean, I'm happy he's in. I
49:54
sincerely mean that. We rag on
him. But
49:57
John C Dvorak: it would be
gorgeous. That does what we do.
49:59
It's would be a A lot less
colorful without Jace anyway,
50:02
Adam Curry: so there's only so
I'm watching this interview and
50:05
Jason is trying to be funny. I'm
trying to do you know, tough
50:09
questions which Trump was not
having at all. He was not
50:12
having. I listen to this on the
plane, and I fell asleep. So
50:17
after like 2530 minutes, half an
hour and a half. I couldn't even
50:20
listen to it. But I did listen
to this one thing. And it was
50:23
kind of like, oh, because David
Sachs is the dangerous guy here.
50:28
What is what is the deal with
this? David Sachs? Where's he's
50:30
from? Because that's, that's why
Trump is on this show. David
50:34
Sachs, what is his deal? Well,
he's
50:37
John C Dvorak: a bundler for
sure. Yeah,
50:40
Adam Curry: he's an
entrepreneur, a bundler. There
50:42
you go. Bundler
50:43
John C Dvorak: is a bundle. He's
the guy who knows how to put
50:45
together a party. They bring in
millions. Yeah.
50:48
Adam Curry: Candidate. He's in
Pallant. Also,
50:51
John C Dvorak: I guess IVC in
some ways, but I think is his
50:54
skill is being and he's one of
those guys. Yeah. He'll get
50:57
he'll become David Sachs, who
will be in the Trump
50:59
administration. Yes. As the
ambassador to France, or England
51:03
or something like that. And all
these VCs want to be
51:05
ambassadors. Yeah. But
51:07
Adam Curry: maybe he'll get
something, something close. But
51:09
we'll see. He'll do. Now. He
might do policy. So So I guess
51:13
David Sachs, was part of the
biggest CEO get together and
51:17
maybe was at his house. And they
told Trump about this little
51:21
little two word thing and little
thing, a little little thing
51:25
called AI. We
51:26
Unknown: have a phenomena coming
up right now. And I was talking
51:29
about it the other day to David.
And that's AI little thing,
51:32
simple, two little simple
letters, but it's big. And I
51:37
realized the other day, more
than any time when we were at
51:40
David's house, and talking to a
lot of geniuses from Silicon
51:44
Valley and other places, they
need electricity at levels that
51:49
nobody's ever experienced before
to have to be successful to be a
51:52
leader in AI. The amount of
electricity that is like double
51:57
what we have right now and even
triple while we have right now.
52:00
They are they It's incredible
how much they need to be the
52:05
leader. And we're gonna have to
be able to do that. And a
52:09
windmill turning with its blade
knocking out the birds and
52:12
everything else is not going to
be able to make us competitive
52:15
you'll have what
52:16
Adam Curry: about what about
nuclear? Mr. President? Yeah, so
52:19
let me just give you a statistic
so many go on he actually he
52:23
knows he knows the problems and
even said, you know, France,
52:26
those guys are smart. They did.
They got modular, they can do
52:28
all the same thing. Not like
we're idiots. Everything's
52:31
different every so he he was
good. But he's being psyops in
52:35
this AI thing. And you and I had
been talking. We don't talk much
52:39
outside the show, but after the
show was, um, you know, post
52:42
producing, and we're compressing
everything getting it all done.
52:45
We'll chat a little bit. And
we've been talking about when,
52:49
what is it? What is the trigger
that is going to take this
52:52
nonsense down this AI?
52:54
John C Dvorak: Right? And we did
discuss this in the last post
52:57
mortem. Yes,
52:58
Adam Curry: post mortem. And I
think I may have found one and
53:01
it comes a lot because you said
if we could figure out what the
53:05
real downfall was of the dot,
what pop the.com bubble, we may
53:11
be able to figure out what pops
the what pops the AI bubble, and
53:18
I think I may have found it. And
53:21
John C Dvorak: when did you
figure out what popped the duck?
53:22
Because I think back on it, and
I'm thinking what the hell pop
53:25
the.com Well,
53:27
Adam Curry: allow me. I was in
the Netherlands in 2000, end of
53:33
99 2000. And it was World
online. World online was going
53:40
to be the biggest IPO run by a
lady called Nina brink. And I
53:45
know Nina Brink Because Ron Blum
and I tried to get our initial
53:49
financing from Nina brink.
Because you know, we were run
53:53
all over the world. Yeah, we
before we, before we had the
53:57
venture capital money, we're
trying to figure out where can
53:59
we raise money from and of
course, you know, I had my
54:02
contacts in Holland, and somehow
we run into Nina brink. And
54:06
she's been involved. I mean,
her. Her whole thing is, oh,
54:10
we'll do a big announcement with
an LOI. We'll have an LOI. She's
54:13
a miss loi, which is a letter of
intent, which is completely
54:16
meaningless. At the end of the
day, she didn't actually want to
54:20
invest. She wanted to give us a
subordinated loan. Right. Okay.
54:24
No. So it was a big run around
and but she is very she has been
54:30
very successful in a whole bunch
of other businesses. And now she
54:34
was going to set up this whole
world online thing she had, and
54:37
she had bought France Telecom
and all these different internet
54:40
providers, and was going to be
the global online internet
54:45
provider. And everybody had
money in the IPO. I had friends
54:49
and family. Oh, I mean on the
friends and family was great.
54:53
She just she discloses one day
before the IPO that she actually
54:57
sold all of her stock before the
IPO. And the IPO tanked and
55:03
after that, as far as I know,
everything in public markets
55:07
went just went to crap and the
whole thing fell apart. I can't
55:12
say for sure that the world
online failed IPO was really the
55:16
trigger but it I find it
coincidental that she pops up in
55:20
the news. As I'm traveling back
from the Netherlands. I'm at the
55:26
airport and the financial
newspaper the financial doc
55:29
blood has this whole story about
renovado Biosciences here in
55:35
fact, Hindenburg researchers
after them, you know, Hindenburg
55:39
research. Oh, yeah. These are
the short sellers. Here's their
55:41
headline renovado biosciences, a
worthless AI shell game with a
55:47
murderous magician past. I mean,
and this has Nina bring who's
55:51
now Nina storms, Dr. Nina storms
no less than wood. So she was
55:57
somehow she bought this. She was
involved in this Biosciences
56:00
Company, which was set up by
this guy who had you know, he's
56:06
he's one of the most important
scientists in the world. But it
56:09
turns out that he killed one of
his forehead, one of his former
56:12
partners shot to death. And then
the whole thing is a mess. But
56:18
what she was going to do was
going to bring in this company
56:21
and put it together with this
run renovado biosciences, and
56:26
they took it public. And she
brought in this company called
56:29
Jenny cube, which is literally
nothing. Jenni cube, GN ICU B E,
56:36
which is kind of interesting,
because you know, whenever you
56:38
put cube in, it sounds so
scientific. And, and this thing
56:43
is coming. It's publicly listed,
this thing is coming apart at
56:45
the seams. And there's all kinds
of investigations and and
56:50
because the sheep brought in the
AI nonsense. I mean, there's, I
56:55
mean, really gobbly gook of
flowery language, which really
57:00
is means nothing. Absolutely
nothing. I think that this may,
57:06
even though it's not a direct
trigger, I think that this is
57:09
it. I think whenever Nina Brink
shows up, it's time to bail.
57:17
John C Dvorak: Well, then why
should go short in video and see
57:19
what happens? Good luck.
57:25
Adam Curry: I don't know. I'm
not so sure I want to do that.
57:29
But but at least things know
that.
57:34
John C Dvorak: We have in our
audience, kind of I would say
57:39
armchair analysts,
57:40
Adam Curry: yes, we do. Who
knows
57:42
John C Dvorak: develop stuff. of
many of these ideas are quite
57:46
good. They're just not. They're
not polished. But we have at
57:50
least 10 people in our audience
that can have theories, I bet if
57:55
we asked for them, that can
provide us with theories as to
57:59
why the.com collapse took place.
Now I remember a previous
58:03
collapse. And this is the more
obscure and I can't remember the
58:06
name of the IPO that failed. And
it became a collapse the entire
58:10
industry of council games during
the Atari era. Console games.
58:16
Yeah, there was a big boom in
games that refer these game
58:21
consoles not to you know, this
is all pre Nintendo is when you
58:24
had the Atari and a bunch of
these other you know, Pong was
58:28
was a player back in Yeah. And
there was a bunch of these games
58:32
that we came up for the Atari
mostly game councils, all blocky
58:36
was terrible. But there was the
one Vamp and Colico vision. That
58:41
was that was an example. Yeah.
And there was a bunch of these
58:44
companies. And then one of them
there was these IPOs that were
58:47
starting to develop, and they
were coming out with these
58:49
different these game companies
and one game company failed. And
58:53
they brought the whole industry
down. And it was the end of it.
58:57
In fact, there wasn't anything
after that, except the Nintendo
58:59
was was left in the it was kind
of came out of the ashes and
59:02
took over the place. And then
Sony came in later. And then we
59:06
had other things say again, and
things like that. It was a very
59:08
interesting phenomenon of
Washington transition from one
59:11
to the other, but a collapse
took place in the meantime. And
59:15
that collapse was triggered by a
fail. A failed IPO that was
59:20
triggered by something that
would again is one of these
59:23
things that the trigger
mechanism may be elusive. But
59:29
when it happens, it's
noticeable. And it goes fast.
59:32
Adam Curry: Yeah. slowly, very
slowly and then fast all of a
59:36
sudden, I wonder what that was.
I wonder what that was? Because
59:41
the Nintendo NES came at the was
it Sega
59:45
John C Dvorak: will shake it No,
Sega came up with NES and they
59:48
hung in there for the for most
of the the second round of
59:53
games. And Sega just quit on its
own. It just decided out of the
59:58
blue to stop doing it. After the
Dreamcast, which is a killer
1:00:02
machine. But that whole market
is is a study in itself. But to
1:00:09
study these other phenomenas,
and the AI thing is there it
1:00:14
will happen because there's no
way that this is going to
1:00:16
continue with their power
requirements and some of the
1:00:18
things going on with the with,
with the promises and and
1:00:23
delivering not much more than
just kind of crappy art.
1:00:29
Adam Curry: There's not much
going on. Yeah, isn't that nice
1:00:32
demos? Everybody
1:00:33
John C Dvorak: is not right. We
don't see any Shakespearean
1:00:36
plays coming out of any of this
stuff.
1:00:38
Adam Curry: Well, what what is
definitely sure is that people
1:00:41
are very disappointed by the
reality of the interaction with
1:00:46
the voice response versus the
demo. Because I, because I know,
1:00:51
Sam Altman was also interviewed
by Jay Cowell about a month ago
1:00:55
and right so you know, as I'm
thumbing through away from this
1:00:58
Trump interview, I get the
Altman interview, an hour of
1:01:02
nothing, the guy says nothing.
Yeah, that's really interesting.
1:01:09
And, and J cow, and Charmouth.
And whoever these guys are,
1:01:14
sacks, they were all saying,
Well, you know, it has a lot of
1:01:17
promise, but it was the latency.
They kept talking about the
1:01:21
latency. I didn't see any
latency in that demo with Oh, I
1:01:26
see you're sitting in a cool
room. Are you getting ready to
1:01:29
do a podcast or maybe a demo?
There was no latency there. So
1:01:34
they sexed it up the whole demo
is fake and phony. is fake and
1:01:38
phony.
1:01:41
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well,
that's nothing new now. Well, we
1:01:46
haven't fed, you have at least
some thoughts on this. And but
1:01:50
we're soliciting further
thoughts from the audience of
1:01:55
producers? Yeah.
1:01:56
Adam Curry: Well, particularly
the gaming history. Someone out
1:01:59
there will know for sure. But
this has this has got and when
1:02:03
this goes, Man is going to be
spectacular. I think they need
1:02:07
to keep
1:02:08
John C Dvorak: it as spectacular
as the.com collapse. To me, that
1:02:12
was the most spectacular thing
I've ever seen. Well, that took
1:02:16
the whole market. Well, this
will to this. Will that mean the
1:02:20
NVIDIA for is carrying the
market? Yes,
1:02:23
Adam Curry: it's carrying
everything.
1:02:26
John C Dvorak: But what we've
gone from a chipmaker that
1:02:28
makes, you know, processors for
gamers to the biggest
1:02:31
corporation in the world.
Really?
1:02:34
Adam Curry: Yeah. Which needs
eight times the power to power
1:02:36
their chips, but even work, it's
just hard. No, it's like, no,
1:02:40
this is not going to happen.
Anyways, speaking of fake and
1:02:45
phony, I'm going to get two more
clips here from I'm gonna go
1:02:47
back for a second power and
energy. So we have the unique
1:02:52
opportunity to show the future a
unique opportunity, I say, to
1:02:57
show the future of solar and
wind and how we all can live in
1:03:01
harmony without any carbon
dioxide, I'm sorry, carbon, and
1:03:06
that is Ukraine. Ukraine could
be a shining example. And the
1:03:10
Lensky is actually thinking
about it. Ukraine,
1:03:12
Unknown: the energy grid has
come under sustained attack from
1:03:15
Russian missiles. It's caused
more blackouts. The country's
1:03:18
facilities already struggling
after repeated targeting a
1:03:21
barrage of strikes have
continued this afternoon. Three
1:03:24
people reported dead in our
Keefe. Now President Volodymyr
1:03:29
Zelensky has said this week
there needs to be a rush for
1:03:32
replacement solar energy for
civil institutions across the
1:03:36
country, he said is a time of
panic. Let's have a listen to
1:03:39
his words from overnight. The
1:03:41
government has been tasked with
immediately presenting a program
1:03:45
to encourage the installation of
solar generation and energy
1:03:50
storage systems and Ukraine's
proposal program that is as
1:03:55
favorable as possible, David.
All
1:03:57
Adam Curry: right. Let's do it.
Let's prove it. Let's bring out
1:04:00
some solar make it all work
power your cities. I'd love to
1:04:05
see it. We all know it's not
going to work. quick little
1:04:12
update on the orange painting of
Stonehenge and Taylor Swift jet.
1:04:22
So as I already said, it wasn't
Taylor Swift jet. No, these
1:04:28
people just went in spray
painted someone else's jets. And
1:04:34
the like this is this is very
this is a very costly thing. If
1:04:39
you can't just fly with some
paint on there. You know,
1:04:43
there's all kinds of bad things
happen at high speeds. And so I
1:04:47
go looking like but what exactly
because it came out of fire
1:04:50
extinguishers. It looked like
that. Fire extinguishers. The
1:04:54
stuff they were Yeah, they were
filled with paint. Well, no,
1:04:57
it's not paint.
1:04:58
Unknown: So Danielle, what do we
know about the as protesters,
1:05:01
and is this orange stuff like
reversible like is are these
1:05:05
rocks gonna be okay? They're
gonna be okay. And they're gonna
1:05:09
wash away at least that's what
we're told by the protesters.
1:05:12
I'm not gonna give you our
viewers history lesson here. But
1:05:15
there's a reason why Stonehenge
is so remarkable. It's a UNESCO
1:05:20
heritage site. It's one of the
most recognizable landmarks here
1:05:23
in the UK, built 4500 years ago.
It's in perfect alignment with
1:05:29
the sun. We don't know who built
them. But we do know today who
1:05:32
tried to damage them a 21 year
old student from Oxford
1:05:36
University, a 73 year old man
who was quoted as saying that
1:05:40
the orange corn flour that was
used to create this eye catching
1:05:44
spectacle will wash away with
the rain, but not the climate
1:05:48
crisis if the leaders don't act.
1:05:50
Adam Curry: Okay, now I have
1:05:52
John C Dvorak: arrived. I've
heard just corn starch and a
1:05:54
pigment,
1:05:55
Adam Curry: I got a serious
question. I have a serious
1:05:59
question. If they haven't ruined
anything, because it washes off.
1:06:03
Why are we putting this on the
news? It's the same. They go on
1:06:08
hold they spray painted a
painting? No, they put paint on
1:06:12
the glass. Why are we putting
these idiots on the news if they
1:06:15
didn't do anything? There?
1:06:17
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not
going to argue about the point
1:06:19
that this should not be covered.
But it's at Well, I think the
1:06:26
reason you put it on the news
because you got some crazy
1:06:29
maniac with a fire extinguisher
filled with his goo. And they're
1:06:32
spraying our side of an airplane
and you have a video of it is
1:06:36
but it was probably saying you
know this is kind of
1:06:39
interesting. Let's at least run
it. Oh,
1:06:41
Adam Curry: yeah. No, it's
because there's a point to be
1:06:43
made. It's all theater. It's not
actually ruining the airplane.
1:06:46
It's actually ruining the
priceless art. It's not ruining
1:06:50
Stonehenge. It's it's MK Ultra
is we're being mind controlled
1:06:57
into thinking that these
children apparently a 73 year
1:07:02
old are so incensed that they
they feel they have to go and
1:07:05
destroy valuable objects they're
not
1:07:08
John C Dvorak: well a couple of
things. First of all, until I
1:07:11
see a washing machine spray just
take a pose and spray off that
1:07:16
crap that's on the airplanes
which is typically what should
1:07:20
happen the way they're
describing it. I don't believe
1:07:23
it it's especially don't believe
the thing with stone edge that
1:07:28
pigment if you ever buy just raw
pigments and you can do that if
1:07:31
you're if you go to an art
supply place a big one where
1:07:34
they sell literally just sell
pigment they don't sell it's not
1:07:37
paid as pigment is powder and
you can mix it with cornstarch
1:07:41
if you wanted to. And
1:07:43
Adam Curry: he said he says it's
corn dust.
1:07:47
John C Dvorak: It's corn flour,
corn flour or corn starch it
1:07:51
doesn't matter I we know what
this is it's a bits of its
1:07:54
powder that you mix with the
pigment then you wait no way you
1:07:57
can make it wet and make a
slurry and you can spray the
1:08:00
slurry.
1:08:02
Adam Curry: Are you with
extinction rebellion?
1:08:04
John C Dvorak: No, I'm just
saying this this reporting about
1:08:06
how this stuff is wash right off
is bull crap. I
1:08:09
Adam Curry: don't Well you have
no which was your clip.
1:08:13
John C Dvorak: I want to see it
washed off. That's what I'm just
1:08:16
show me.
1:08:16
Adam Curry: Okay, well, I'm just
saying that you're saying that.
1:08:19
No one said pigment. No one said
that. You're putting pigment in
1:08:22
there that stains everything.
1:08:24
John C Dvorak: Where's the
orange come from is not some
1:08:27
magic from
1:08:27
Adam Curry: the Cheeto dust.
1:08:30
John C Dvorak: Which is pigment.
It's a
1:08:33
Adam Curry: Cheeto dust. You can
lick your fingers and it comes
1:08:35
right off.
1:08:37
John C Dvorak: Whistle last time
you tried to get all that crap
1:08:39
off your hand on the plane
1:08:43
Adam Curry: that they serve
Cheetos on the plane.
1:08:46
John C Dvorak: What plane serves
Cheetos, you got united
1:08:50
Adam Curry: they got dudes and
dresses. It's a great airline.
1:08:52
They got everything, dude.
Alright, now we're talking about
1:08:56
food. I'm going to take this one
right up your alley, the latest
1:09:00
in food cuisine. It's a code
cuisine. The exclusive
1:09:06
Unknown: solutions to the
climate crisis will take many
1:09:08
forms. One of which is algae.
That's according to Chef Callum
1:09:14
Monroe. He comes down to the
coast every other day to collect
1:09:18
seaweed here on the Scottish
Isle of Skye.
1:09:22
Every week, maybe twice or three
times a week actually become a
1:09:26
yeah, see this one here which is
I would say up there with the
1:09:30
best at sea spaghetti as you can
tell why it's called Sea
1:09:33
spaghetti because it just looks
exactly like this. Again, it's
1:09:36
quite a subtle flavor. But you
can use it just as human
1:09:41
spaghetti together
1:09:42
with climate activist Shona
Cameron, the two are trying to
1:09:45
bring seaweed back into the
kitchen. As a renewable
1:09:48
alternatives to fish and meat.
The seaweed is the vegetable of
1:09:51
the sea and is available all
year round. Now sharing these
1:09:55
ideas with schools condo with
recipes for the children to
1:09:59
learn. Oh
1:09:59
Adam Curry: there you Go teach
him how to how to eat seaweed.
1:10:03
It's the vegetable of the sea.
1:10:07
John C Dvorak: That we're not
sure what to say this we're
1:10:09
going too far with thanks. It
says it stinks. It's a nice
1:10:13
wrapper for sushi.
1:10:16
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's about
it. Stop. Stop there. He's
1:10:20
holding up the stringy seaweed.
Oh, it's just like spaghetti. In
1:10:23
fact.
1:10:27
John C Dvorak: That's not well.
That would be the world's worst
1:10:30
spaghetti but okay. Yes.
1:10:32
Adam Curry: I'm in agreement
with you. Man Oh, man. Oh, man,
1:10:38
we
1:10:38
John C Dvorak: before we drift
too far astray. Because you did
1:10:41
mention Trump. I want to bring
it back to that. Trump. I
1:10:46
watched Trump's Philadelphia
speech ah,
1:10:49
Adam Curry: I'm glad you did.
Okay,
1:10:51
John C Dvorak: I put it aside I
wanted to see if he had new
1:10:53
material or
1:10:54
Adam Curry: is up to it was was
the kind of losing a little bit
1:10:57
because now this
1:10:58
John C Dvorak: bowl crab in
fact, he brings that up
1:11:00
Adam Curry: I I'm just telling
you, you I played this bull
1:11:03
crap. He's prompter went out and
he wasn't good. And you heard
1:11:07
you agree.
1:11:08
John C Dvorak: I just see I
disagree. He didn't use much of
1:11:10
a prompter in this speech. But
he does ramble. And then he
1:11:14
mocks himself for rambling he
discusses it needs reflect you
1:11:17
Adam Curry: thought the shark
and the and the electrocution
1:11:21
was a good bit.
1:11:22
John C Dvorak: I didn't think it
was a good bit. It was a one of
1:11:24
his bits though. And I didn't
think it was horrible, like you
1:11:28
said, but I do have two examples
of new bits. Okay, one of them
1:11:32
which is worse than the shark.
And one that I think he's going
1:11:36
to use in going forward. He has
a bunch of new material that
1:11:41
he's trying out a he's does an
hour and a half. He did two, two
1:11:46
speeches on. He went did one in
Washington DC I guess which I
1:11:51
didn't see. And then he went to
Philadelphia and did a big one.
1:11:53
And it was interesting to see
how he keep his audience. I
1:11:57
always check the background
because he always has a bunch of
1:11:59
people back there behind him and
he always has a couple of babes
1:12:04
that have the they have a very
distinctive Trump babe look,
1:12:10
they got kind of their their
kind of angular face is very
1:12:15
pretty photogenic looking
anyway, or telegenic and always
1:12:19
holding up signs and undecided
back. He's got the signs are all
1:12:23
two sided now. So he's got two
messages, usually the Trump 24
1:12:27
ones and the other one was
1:12:28
Adam Curry: where they calot
where they calla pitches.
1:12:32
John C Dvorak: The girls don't
show their asses. They're just a
1:12:34
bunch of pretty faces in the
audience. All right, thank you.
1:12:37
So the he's got the signs and
the science a Trump something on
1:12:41
one side and the other side
says, Too Big to rig is his
1:12:45
latest news. Okay, so all the
signs you flip a Ross is too big
1:12:49
to rig. And but slowly he the
background evolves. So when he
1:12:54
finished the speech and started
talking about his audience
1:12:57
behind him, it was all black. It
was there wasn't a white face in
1:13:01
the crowd. It was all got it. I
mean, you see him switching them
1:13:04
out. Excellent. And you can see
a couple of them were very, you
1:13:08
know, these very pretty women
there were everyone was swapped
1:13:11
out very slowly, like I think
one at a time. Oh, and then
1:13:15
there's always a complete black
audience behind him at the very
1:13:18
end so he could reflect on this.
1:13:20
Adam Curry: We're literally
doing this as he was speaking.
1:13:22
They're rotating the audience.
Yes. Wow, that's slick.
1:13:26
John C Dvorak: And he had an
hour and a half to do it. So
1:13:28
that was it was so slow that you
didn't unless you watch the
1:13:31
beginning, and then cut to the
end, you wouldn't have noticed
1:13:34
that
1:13:34
Adam Curry: it was like a
rotating stage. But it just
1:13:37
slowly wrote on a rotating
1:13:39
John C Dvorak: stage. So anyway,
so he has, I have two examples
1:13:45
of his new material. All right.
And they're short, but this is
1:13:50
under Trump, and this will be
the one we're going to play here
1:13:53
is Trump, Pennsylvania, New
Material One, but they
1:13:57
Unknown: get in there all these
horrible compromising posts. And
1:14:01
then they say he wasn't it
really wasn't that way it was.
1:14:03
So then everybody sends in, they
all have cameras. See every one
1:14:07
of you have a camera. If I blow
it up here, though, they
1:14:10
actually they take a perfect,
brilliant, beautiful statement
1:14:13
that I make. I go for two hours
without teleprompters. And if I
1:14:17
say one word slightly out, they
say he's cognitively impaired.
1:14:24
Whereas Biden can run into
walls. He can fall off the
1:14:28
stage. He can fall up the
stairs. He pulls up. He can turn
1:14:34
around, listen to this. From
20,000 feet of paratroopers
1:14:39
landing right in front of him.
Everybody, oh, the foreign
1:14:43
leaders they're watching. And he
turns around to look at a tree.
1:14:47
And then they say it was fake.
He was fine. And then the press
1:14:51
goes along with it. They go
along with it. They say isn't a
1:14:54
terrible way, the way they cover
him now. Now he's terrible. The
1:14:58
worst president in history. Bye
Far, and we have to get about,
1:15:02
or this country is not going to
survive. Another year. No.
1:15:07
Adam Curry: All right. All
right. That's good. That's
1:15:09
funny.
1:15:10
John C Dvorak: So that was your
material. So he did. So later he
1:15:13
does this bit, which is the
second clip only have two. And
1:15:17
this was a bomb. And it was, and
I left the pauses in at the end.
1:15:21
So he let the whole thing play.
And he, he gets nothing from
1:15:26
this material he's going to do.
And then so he that's a slide
1:15:30
for a while, and then he changes
the subject so radically, and I
1:15:35
only have the beginning of the
switchover at the very end. And
1:15:39
I was just saying, you shake
your head, but this will you'll
1:15:42
never hear this bit again. But
every
1:15:44
Unknown: every day, you're
reading about this. But how
1:15:47
embarrassing is it for me to
say, we will build a wall or we
1:15:52
will build a border. But how
embarrassing it is to say we
1:15:56
will keep men and of women's
sports who who would want men to
1:16:00
play women's sports. And yet for
them for all these people,
1:16:04
including the fake news media,
for whatever reason. It's like a
1:16:08
big deal. Who would want it? Did
you ever look at the
1:16:11
weightlifting records? Records
that stood for 18 years? And a
1:16:16
guy comes up? Have you lifted
before? No, I haven't. Well,
1:16:19
they say a guy a person who
transitioned. Have you lifted
1:16:23
before? No, I haven't really? A
couple of days. Just over the
1:16:30
thing, being being Bing Bing are
we crazy? Are the swimming with
1:16:37
a obliterate records obliterate
the women get Winburn as the
1:16:40
boys go by? I'm suffering
tremendous windburn what
1:16:44
happened to doctor says, Oh,
well, I was swimming. I'm an
1:16:48
Olympic swimmer. But a person
transitioned. And he went by me
1:16:53
so fast that the wind burned the
hell out of me, doctor. No, it's
1:16:58
so it's so crazy. And it's so
horrible for women. It's so
1:17:04
embarrassing for women. I will
fully uphold our Second
1:17:10
Amendment.
1:17:12
Adam Curry: Switch. Well, at
least he knows when to get out
1:17:15
of it.
1:17:15
John C Dvorak: But yes, he does.
He bailed. This is that Winburn
1:17:19
thing. You'll never hear it
again. I'm sure of it because
1:17:21
that was a just bombed dog.
1:17:24
Adam Curry: It's this is because
of turning point USA. You know,
1:17:28
Charlie Kirk is touring with the
women now. And he's got Megyn
1:17:31
Kelly and Candace Owens and
Riley Gaines. And that's why
1:17:37
he's trying to shoehorn this in
but his punch line is right. He
1:17:40
should be and there's a dude in
a dress. I mean, he used to do
1:17:44
something like that. That's
funny. Now like he's
1:17:47
John C Dvorak: real Yeah, it
wasn't it was just funnier than
1:17:51
what he did that bit didn't
work. I make them weightlifting
1:17:54
thing almost got there but they
did that Winburn thing was no
1:17:58
good loser in that he's not
gonna you'll never hear it again
1:18:01
going back and then it switched
a second American audience back
1:18:05
Adam Curry: going back to the
first clip. The MSNBC is real is
1:18:10
doing this now. He's right there
trying to make him look like his
1:18:15
losing his mind. So now we have
the cheap fakes. Biden's great
1:18:21
sharp as a tack sharp as a tack
sharp as a tack sharp but Trump
1:18:26
Oh, no. So I have three clips.
I'll pretty short do actually
1:18:29
the second to a very short. This
is the first one British check
1:18:33
of course. And and here's how
MSNBC is showing that Trump is
1:18:38
losing his mind. There is
1:18:39
Unknown: new audio of Donald
Trump admitting that he lost the
1:18:42
2020 election and then quickly
reverting back to the original
1:18:46
lie. It comes from research for
the new book, apprentice in
1:18:50
Wonderland by Ramin Syd Tudor.
He spoke to the former president
1:18:54
six times and recorded the
conversations. Trump's admission
1:18:57
that he lost came during a
conversation about his
1:19:00
relationship with Geraldo
Rivera,
1:19:01
what was for all the work?
1:19:03
He was good. He did a good job.
He was smart, cunning, he did a
1:19:09
good job.
1:19:10
And are you guys too close? Or
you
1:19:12
know, I don't think so. He is.
After I lost the election, I won
1:19:20
the election. But when they said
he called me up three or four
1:19:24
times after I
1:19:25
lost the election. I won the
election. And another
1:19:28
conversation with between Trump
and Institute. The former
1:19:31
president claims that Joan
Rivers voted for him in 2016.
1:19:35
She was a Republican. I thought
she might have been a
1:19:39
Republican. I know one thing she
voted for me, according to what
1:19:43
she
1:19:43
said one small hitch with all of
that general has actually died
1:19:47
two years before that election.
He's losing
1:19:50
Adam Curry: his mind. I tell
you, losing his mind. Now listen
1:19:53
to Morning Joe, because they're
really doing this now.
1:19:56
Unknown: So like person
downloads in May. He wasn't
1:19:58
doing a lot of interviews and
then we sat down again towards
1:20:00
the end of the summer. And when
I sat down, I, you know, there
1:20:04
was a very blank expression on
his face. So I asked you
1:20:06
remember when we spoke recently?
And he said, No, I have no
1:20:09
memory of that. And he couldn't
recall he said it was a long
1:20:12
time ago. And then we had to
start from scratch. So the
1:20:15
interview started from square
one where he was started telling
1:20:18
me the same exact stories that
we that we heard in our first
1:20:22
interview, so he didn't remember
1:20:23
Adam Curry: some numb nut from a
morning, Joe. And so he's losing
1:20:29
his mind. He's losing his mind.
1:20:31
Unknown: But he also seemed to
think that he still had some
1:20:34
foreign policy powers. And
there's one day where he told me
1:20:37
he needed to go upstairs to deal
with Afghanistan, even though he
1:20:40
clearly didn't. He
1:20:42
told you that he while you were
interviewing him at Trump Tower,
1:20:45
he told you he needed to go
upstairs to deal with
1:20:46
Afghanistan with the
1:20:47
quote, the Afghanistan is how we
refer to it.
1:20:50
Adam Curry: Oh, he's losing his
mind.
1:20:53
Unknown: losing his mind, I tell
you,
1:20:56
John C Dvorak: yes. I have
noticed this this phenomenon,
1:20:59
too. And it's always on, it's on
CNN and MSNBC only. And they are
1:21:03
looking at the one that really
got everybody's attention was
1:21:06
when he called Ronnie Jackson,
Ronnie Johnson, at one of his
1:21:12
speeches. So everybody jumped on
this, including Jon Stewart, on
1:21:19
his on his Monday night show.
Yeah. And it was Bah, he can't
1:21:25
even remember the name of his
own doctor. And, and they use it
1:21:30
and they've been Trump referred
to that particular moment in his
1:21:34
Pennsylvania's speech. And but
yes, they're trying to make him
1:21:40
seem like Biden. Now, almost the
same age, you know,
1:21:47
Adam Curry: since you bring up
Jon Stewart, so he does the
1:21:51
Daily Show on Fridays, I think
is it one day Mondays, Mondays?
1:21:56
One day a week, but he also has
the Daily Show podcast, and of
1:22:00
course, this is up my alley,
because you know, pod father
1:22:03
everything. Boy, pay attention,
that stuff. And the so you think
1:22:08
the Daily Show podcast, I think
it was originally called the
1:22:11
Johnson, I'm not quite sure that
the name has changed. Sometimes
1:22:14
he drops the podcast from it.
But you'd be expecting to hear a
1:22:17
funny, you know, like a, like an
irreverent type show. No, it's
1:22:24
John C Dvorak: what you'd expect
a podcast to be extreme.
1:22:26
Adam Curry: It's a bit boring.
And he has Blong boring
1:22:30
conference. It's kind of like
that Apple show, which was just
1:22:33
boring. So that Apple show is
the worst. So so he got this
1:22:37
boring show. And it's
interesting, because he did did
1:22:41
just have a minute and a half of
the boring show, where he talked
1:22:45
to Kathleen Hicks. Who is I
don't what is she? What is her?
1:22:50
She's high up in the paint and a
Department of Defense. Isn't she
1:22:55
the?
1:22:56
John C Dvorak: She was one of
Trump's old assistants now.
1:22:59
Adam Curry: That was the Qt No,
that's a different one. That was
1:23:03
the press secretary? No.
Kathleen Hicks is the Deputy
1:23:09
Secretary of Defense. And he
gets into it, whether about the
1:23:13
audits of of the Department of
Defense, or as we would say,
1:23:17
audit the Pentagon, it would be
a good thing. And I thought what
1:23:21
came out of it was kind of
interesting. I had an
1:23:23
opportunity
1:23:24
Unknown: to speak with the
Deputy Secretary of Defense cap,
1:23:28
Adam Curry: you can already hear
the show is boring. It's like,
1:23:30
John C Dvorak: yeah, it's
already it's already boring
1:23:33
wants to be on PBS or something
or NPR. He
1:23:36
Adam Curry: needs to he needs to
get closer to the mic. I had an
1:23:38
opportunity to speak to a
Catholic and activity Secretary
1:23:42
of the Department of Defense.
1:23:44
Unknown: And I just asked about
the failing of the audits. And I
1:23:48
want you to I want you to
listen, I think to what I felt
1:23:51
like was a remarkably defensive
for no reason, attitude about
1:23:58
even the prospect of being
questioned on this. But don't
1:24:02
you think that that does speak
to the larger point that we're
1:24:04
trying to get at which is good
journalism, uncovers corruption.
1:24:11
And I mean, good journalism
doesn't cover corruption, but
1:24:15
I'm not sure these two things
are linked and honest. Not they
1:24:18
are. Okay. So you need to
explain to me, do you understand
1:24:22
what an audit does? And the
degree to which it is linked to
1:24:24
the question that you're asking?
1:24:26
I believe so. Okay, go ahead.
1:24:27
Give me your explanation. No, I
1:24:31
don't mind learning. So what I
would suggest is that the audit
1:24:36
that they have in the military
doesn't really look at whether
1:24:42
or not there's efficacy, it just
whether they got delivered the
1:24:45
thing that they ordered, and
1:24:47
that is any audit, that is any
audit, that is true.
1:24:51
Generally, those audits aren't
$400 billion for Raytheon and
1:24:54
$1.7 trillion, for a plane that
doesn't seem to be doing like
1:24:58
there is a lot of waste fraud.
On an abuse within a system
1:25:01
audit, waste, fraud and abuse
are not the same thing. So let's
1:25:05
decompose these leads educate me
on what so an audit is exactly
1:25:09
what you just described, which
is,
1:25:11
Adam Curry: why did you say
let's decompose this?
1:25:15
Unknown: That's playback or just
for a plane that doesn't seem to
1:25:18
be doing like there is a lot of
waste, fraud and abuse within a
1:25:22
system audit,
1:25:23
waste, fraud and abuse are not
the same thing. So let's
1:25:25
decompose these leads
1:25:27
educate me on decompose.
1:25:30
Adam Curry: Yes. She
1:25:30
John C Dvorak: said that she
said decompose.
1:25:35
Unknown: waste, fraud and abuse
are not the same thing. So let's
1:25:38
decompose these leads educate me
on what so an audit is exactly
1:25:42
what you just described, which
is do I know what was delivered
1:25:45
to which place? Right the
ability to pass an audit or in
1:25:49
the fact that the DOD has not
passed not and is not suggestive
1:25:52
of waste, fraud and abuse?
1:25:54
The conversation goes on to the
point where she says to me, you
1:25:57
seem awfully concerned about the
money,
1:26:00
Adam Curry: so I stopped it
there. But that was kind of I
1:26:03
thought that was interesting
that an audit is not about the
1:26:06
waist, no, it's about we spent
$100,000 on a toilet washer. And
1:26:12
did we get it or not? Not if
it's not if it's a wasteful
1:26:15
expenditure? So that was the
only interesting thing of that
1:26:20
entire boring show. But it leads
well,
1:26:23
John C Dvorak: yes, well, I will
say this, that she got defensive
1:26:26
because of the nature of the way
he orchestrated the question by
1:26:30
assuming immediately that there
was waste, fraud and abuse, and
1:26:33
that's the reason for no audit.
So I believe that she reacted
1:26:40
properly to an accusation and
unfounded accusation. Just
1:26:46
Adam Curry: a suspicion, a
hunch, merely a hunch we have
1:26:49
there may be some waste, fraud
and abuse going
1:26:51
John C Dvorak: on. Yeah, and you
can be sure there is. So this
1:26:55
brings me
1:26:56
Adam Curry: to the big the big
announcement. It's, as we say,
1:27:01
in the lowlands, the coho is
daughter Khattak the bullet has
1:27:04
been shot through the church. I
have no idea why they say that.
1:27:08
John C Dvorak: The bullet has
been shot through the church.
1:27:11
Yeah,
1:27:11
Adam Curry: the girl who was
daughter Catholic. I have no
1:27:13
idea why this Dutch say there
must be is there any historical
1:27:17
reference to something being
shot in a church? Well,
1:27:21
John C Dvorak: that was say the
first of all the Dutch were one
1:27:26
of the biggest proponents of
Lutheranism, the looser and NISM
1:27:29
sorry, loose, they're all
Lutherans. They're the churches
1:27:32
are and that was it because it
was early and the Catholics of
1:27:37
course, were, were banned pretty
much. There's a couple of secret
1:27:42
Catholic churches around and
it's possible that some booked
1:27:45
Catholic shot a shot at the
preacher or something in in a
1:27:50
Lutheran church. That's my only
kind of a long shot guess I
1:27:55
Adam Curry: just looked it up
and I can't find anything right
1:27:58
off the bat but I will have to
look that one up. So anyway, the
1:28:00
bullet has been in the bullet is
through the church. And we have
1:28:04
a new incoming head honcho of
NATO just came
1:28:08
Unknown: through in Brussels
this week. A new leader is
1:28:10
poised to take over as NATO
Secretary General is the former
1:28:13
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Ruta,
who secured the backing of each
1:28:16
member state the only other
credible competitor was
1:28:19
Romania's President Klaus
Yohannes. He's backed out of
1:28:23
Teflon mark is his nickname
1:28:25
Adam Curry: Hold on a second. I
have been following Margarita
1:28:30
for a while. I've never heard
anyone refer to him as Teflon
1:28:35
mark. I mean, maybe Crisco mark,
but Teflon Mark No. Klaus
1:28:42
Unknown: Yohannes is backed out
of Teflon that Mark is his
1:28:46
nickname in The Hague. One
biographer said the 57 year old
1:28:50
cycling format and fanatic has a
trademark is called Neverland,
1:28:54
which LK
1:28:56
Adam Curry: Miran, also
something I've never heard. And
1:29:01
I think he is referring to may
Viren, which he'll translate as
1:29:06
he's bouncing stretching along.
No, I would say it's more like
1:29:09
sucking up being a slime ball.
Being a fair weather friend
1:29:14
doing whatever is popular.
That's what the translation of
1:29:17
Maven is, or as he says, Maven.
So already we've got this this,
1:29:23
that we're building up sad
1:29:25
John C Dvorak: reporting, as
usual, bad reporting, but
1:29:28
Adam Curry: they they also call
them the Trump whisperer. Oh,
1:29:32
yes, he'll be able to get Trump
this guy who was in HR at
1:29:37
Unilever somehow became prime
minister for oh my god, what was
1:29:42
he 12 years a long time forever
long time.
1:29:45
John C Dvorak: Well, that's the
whole show
1:29:46
Adam Curry: and he's worse.
1:29:48
Unknown: On biographer said the
57 year old cycling format and
1:29:52
fanatic has a trademark is
called Neverland, which means
1:29:54
belts and cycling
1:29:56
Adam Curry: fanatic he rides a
grandma Bike to Work he's not On
1:30:00
a 10 speed with with the lycra
has
1:30:03
Unknown: a trademark is called
me Vinod, which was bouncing,
1:30:06
stretching along, working with
whoever he needs to work with to
1:30:10
govern. To rule with. This was
my router talking to the press
1:30:14
in the past 24 hours. It
1:30:16
is, of course an incredibly
interesting position. It starts
1:30:18
in three months. There is a
fantastic Secretary General at
1:30:21
the moment. But let me not give
the impression that I am going
1:30:24
to do something different from
Jens Stoltenberg.
1:30:27
We also know about my router. He
likes his routine. According to
1:30:30
his biographer, he's always in
the same cafe on a Saturday in
1:30:35
the Netherlands something that I
think we'll quickly change with
1:30:37
security personnel on advice and
also that he loves you too. And
1:30:42
he loves you too.
1:30:45
Adam Curry: That's what he loves
you to the band you to
1:30:49
John C Dvorak: you to the band.
Yes,
1:30:51
Adam Curry: he loves you to the
band. Yes.
1:30:54
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's,
that's insightful. So
1:30:55
Adam Curry: this is like the
Tiger Beat. biog. What
1:30:58
John C Dvorak: is the point of
taking some guy like that and,
1:31:01
and making the head making him
the head of NATO because
1:31:04
Adam Curry: he'll do whatever
they tell him to who's they? Oh,
1:31:08
the military industrial complex,
of course. Raytheon, Boeing,
1:31:12
whoever. Of course. He'll just
do whatever. Okay,
1:31:17
John C Dvorak: so he's just
bullshit.
1:31:19
Adam Curry: He's always been
bullcrap. Always. He's been he.
1:31:24
He locked down the whole
population during COVID No, he's
1:31:30
not. He is not seen as any kind
of strong personality. He's
1:31:34
wimpy slimpar wristed weird. I
mean, he rides his bike to work.
1:31:45
Okay, how Dutch have you? And
he's a made Maven. Maven. Which
1:31:51
boy bounces along No. He'll do
whatever is popular whatever
1:31:55
whatever he's being told to do.
So this just take it from me.
1:31:59
This guy is not a strong leader
in NATO
1:32:07
John C Dvorak: interests
Interesting. Yeah, well your
1:32:09
analysis is probably is better
than anything you're gonna hear
1:32:12
elsewhere. So there you have
1:32:14
Adam Curry: it. The troll room
has some other words for him.
1:32:16
Yes, you're correct that too.
And with that, I'd like to thank
1:32:19
you for your courage saying the
morning to you the man who put
1:32:21
the sea in the Cheeto dust say
hello to my friend on the other
1:32:23
end the one and only Mr. Jobs
1:32:29
John C Dvorak: in the morning,
you Mr. Adam curry in the
1:32:30
morning all the cheese does
blitz on the ground feed near
1:32:33
subs in the one Diems and nights
out there in the morning
1:32:36
Adam Curry: to the trolls and
the troll room. Let me count we
1:32:41
did better than Father's Day
because we had a low low troll
1:32:45
count 1618 On the last the last
Sunday we have 1863 So we're
1:32:52
back up a little bit didn't do
much for the donations just the
1:32:56
sheer number of donations the
actual the number the the amount
1:33:00
of donation just low. I mean,
people are it's summer I guess
1:33:04
we've hit the summer people are
too hot, too hot, they're
1:33:07
melting. They can't do anything
else. You throw out a double A
1:33:11
double sad puppy to no avail.
And what are you going to do
1:33:15
next? You just gonna just gonna
kill a seal a baby seal.
1:33:18
John C Dvorak: You're gonna kill
a seal the little baby seal just
1:33:21
Adam Curry: club it to death as
horrible. And I need to
1:33:28
apologize. Because somehow
completely forgot to thank the
1:33:34
artists for episode 1669 Because
you know as a value for value
1:33:41
podcast. There's many ways that
people can help us and of course
1:33:45
we appreciate our our artists in
to an incredible degree because
1:33:50
they're always they're creating
stuff on the fly. And it was
1:33:53
time to kneel of all people for
me to forget Taunton Neil, who
1:33:57
did the Father's Day art, which
was a nice little piece, it was
1:34:00
a can. And it was the no Adyen
dad beer. It was a little little
1:34:05
small, but we kind of went with
it for this for the best dad in
1:34:08
the universe. Curry Dvorak and
then really small letters. If
1:34:11
you blew it up, it says, What's
that in your mouth? I think that
1:34:14
kind of clinched it for us. Sick
as we are. Like, yeah, that's a
1:34:18
good joke.
1:34:21
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was
cute. Yeah.
1:34:24
Adam Curry: For the last episode
1670 Yeah, we brought in. I
1:34:31
mean, I'm, I'm not always you
were actually on the Father's
1:34:34
Day episode. You were kind of
vying for this cheesecake lady,
1:34:39
which I protested. I'm like,
Yeah, you
1:34:41
John C Dvorak: hate women. No, I
1:34:42
Adam Curry: don't. Like why does
Father's Day have to mean that
1:34:47
cheese cake lady. That's I mean,
some fathers are not likes.
1:34:51
That's what you like. That's not
what
1:34:54
John C Dvorak: I just like to
piece I thought it was good and
1:34:56
you hate comic strip blogger.
1:35:00
Adam Curry: Well, no I don't.
I've been friends with him
1:35:04
longer than I've been friends
with you same type of
1:35:06
friendship. Know for 16 seven he
titled The Maloney Francisco
1:35:11
Scaramanga nailed it with the
and this was a cheesecake but it
1:35:15
had cheap fakes on her t shirt.
It had double entendre. It had a
1:35:20
lot going for it and and it was
just perfect. Perfect. Wouldn't
1:35:26
you say?
1:35:27
John C Dvorak: I liked it. Yeah.
We had that. There was another
1:35:30
one that we were arguing about.
The Father's Day one is from the
1:35:36
previous show, or when I guess
it was that show. Cheap
1:35:40
Adam Curry: fakes. Oh, the
Darren O'Neill is that that we
1:35:44
were looking at Darren O'Neal's.
Cheap fakes 33 cents, which had
1:35:48
to Zareen zerene behind the
lemonade stand. Oh, yes.
1:35:53
John C Dvorak: I liked this
piece because I do is a
1:35:55
throwback to as a peanuts.
Reference, of course with the
1:35:59
free advice booth through the
Lucy was back. Would you be back
1:36:04
there with Charlie Brown? Yeah.
I liked it. The scar manga
1:36:10
pieces it probably better in
many ways. But the Darren
1:36:15
O'Neill piece was good and you
criticize it because you said
1:36:18
Darren O'Neal's always got this
does throw away stuff
1:36:22
Adam Curry: I said Darren no
deal. Oh no, I didn't criticize
1:36:24
it. I said the cheap fakes was
better. You didn't want to
1:36:28
choose it because you hate scare
manga. That's what was going on.
1:36:31
You like that guy? He's an
aihole. I remember No,
1:36:34
John C Dvorak: I never said
that. I would say Oh, but you
1:36:36
did remind me that scared of
manga did turn on the show you
1:36:42
in particular he's a turncoat.
He turned on the show so they
1:36:46
were a bunch of jerks. Repair
reason and and that that got me
1:36:54
to quit the entire that dead
social network. They said
1:36:58
Adam Curry: the website just
call it the website.
1:37:01
John C Dvorak: And that was the
end of that. So there was some
1:37:05
there was some thought there
man, you know, Darren O'Neal
1:37:09
pick because
1:37:10
Adam Curry: Dan O'Neill
listening want to be picked? He
1:37:12
just wants us to talk about him.
Yes, I
1:37:14
John C Dvorak: think you're
right. I think he's a what is it
1:37:17
called when your attention?
Attention whore?
1:37:20
Adam Curry: There you go. That's
it. Well, I'll disc jockeys are,
1:37:24
I guess to a degree,
1:37:26
John C Dvorak: I think you're
right.
1:37:27
Adam Curry: Thank you,
Francisco. Scaramanga thank you
1:37:30
to all the artists who are
always there trying to try to
1:37:34
beat us to the punch, trying to
get something funny, trying to
1:37:36
get something in there that will
like usually based upon the live
1:37:39
content of the show is not easy
what they do. And we just
1:37:43
provide all the feedback,
because you'll never get that in
1:37:45
a professional work situation.
By the way you can, you can
1:37:50
become one of the trolls by
going to troll room.io. Now
1:37:54
forwarding to the new no agenda
dot stream, which is just
1:37:56
dynamite, you can become a
troll, you can join as a troll
1:38:00
or get one of those montem
podcast apps at podcast
1:38:02
apps.com. And you'll get
notified when we go live, you'll
1:38:06
get notified within 90 seconds
of us publishing the show. It's
1:38:10
a bonanza, it's so cool. So
we've we've already mentioned it
1:38:15
that we're gonna have to resort
to clubbing baby seals. But we
1:38:17
do have some people to think,
who came in as executive and
1:38:20
Associate Executive producers.
Now it's important to understand
1:38:23
that the value for value model
works when you just send
1:38:26
something back to the show,
depending on how much value it
1:38:30
means to you. And that depends
on your situation. $5 could be a
1:38:35
lot for you, you send us that
it's what you feel the show is
1:38:39
worth is what you have to spare.
We appreciate it. Now, of course
1:38:43
there are people who can't make
arts can't run meetups or
1:38:46
servers, etc. But they like
being executive and Associate
1:38:50
Executive producers and they
show that with their pocketbook
1:38:52
and they do that by going to no
agenda donations.com And we kick
1:38:56
it off with Jim Coleman. Who is
comes in from Harlem in the
1:39:00
Netherlands with 343 75 which
I'm going to presume as a 333
1:39:06
dot 33 with some fees added.
Appreciate that. And he says to
1:39:12
sad puppies JCD super pathetic.
Well done. Perfect. Thank you
1:39:20
very much, Jim. You understand
how it works?
1:39:23

face challenges in the crucible

1:44:38
resilient. Any setback is merely
an opportunity yet to be
1:44:42
realized. Although we can't
control conditions on the
1:44:44
ground. Free will gives us
control over how will you react
1:44:49
in someone times it's good to
just take a step back, relax and
1:44:52
enjoy a cup of coffee. In those
moments. It's hard not to be

That's our group of well wishers

Executive producers for show
1:46:19
1671 shortlist. But I think it's
even shorter coming up in the
1:46:24
second half. Yeah, it's
1:46:26
Adam Curry: gonna be pretty
short. Thank you. Of course, we
1:46:28
always read the notes for our
Associate Executive Producers
1:46:31
$200. And above 300 above your
an executive producer, we read
1:46:34
those notes as well. And we
don't read anything under 50 For
1:46:38
usually reasons of anonymity,
but the big one is becoming a
1:46:41
sustaining donor. That means you
you make it easy like a
1:46:44
subscription or you determine it
yourself you start it when you
1:46:47
want you stop it when you want
to make the interval, whatever
1:46:50
you want it to be, we recommend
doing it per show, you could do
1:46:53
it per week, per month, whatever
floats your boat, whatever is
1:46:56
valuable to you boat, whatever
is valuable to you is valuable
1:47:00
to us. It's the value for value
model. And we thank you for this
1:47:04
and of course the executive and
Associate Executive producers,
1:47:06
your titles are the real deal.
They are valid for the rest of
1:47:11
your life. You can use them
anywhere that credits are
1:47:13
recognized such as LinkedIn
social media profile, or
1:47:18
imdb.com. You can actually open
up an account if you don't have
1:47:21
one and you'll see that well
over 1000 no agenda producers
1:47:24
are listed on imdb.com You could
be one of them as well. And
1:47:28
thank you for producing 1671 Our
1:47:31
Unknown: formula is this we go
out we get people in the mouth
1:47:48
Adam Curry: discovered I can
find this job while applying but
1:47:51
as that's you
1:48:00
John C Dvorak: know, so did you
see Andrew Cuomo on Bill Maher?
1:48:07
No,
1:48:08
Adam Curry: no, I did not.
1:48:10
John C Dvorak: I sitting here I
dodged the bullet. Clearly you
1:48:13
dodged the bullet. So he's
sitting there next to kissing
1:48:16
girl. I don't know why they go
the cry baby The Cry Baby Cry
1:48:19
Baby. And and they do something
they were bumo. Obviously he's
1:48:25
decided to throw the Democratic
Party under the bus. And I think
1:48:29
is worth playing. It says oh,
it's got nothing to do with any
1:48:32
more clips. But this was to me a
it's been it was posted quite a
1:48:37
bit. I just took the regular
posting of it and play it here.
1:48:41
The
1:48:41
Adam Curry: trial in New York.
The one he got convicted for was
1:48:46
the greatest fundraising
bonanza. Yes, he is. Now he was
1:48:49
blagging behind Biden. And now
he's pulled quite a bit ahead.
1:48:52
That trial was the greatest
reason people to send their
1:48:57
checks for 510 25, whatever,
dollars to Donald Trump. So I
1:49:02
was always winning on the one in
New York, the hush money trial,
1:49:05
I don't think they should have
brought that one. It was just
1:49:07
always gonna look like a sex
case. And people were always
1:49:10
just going to look at it that
way. So
1:49:13
Unknown: in that case, the
Attorney General's case in New
1:49:15
York, frankly, should have never
been brought. And if his name
1:49:19
was not Donald Trump, and if he
wasn't running for president,
1:49:22
from the former Ag in New York,
I'm telling you that case would
1:49:25
have never been brought. And
that's what is offensive to
1:49:28
people. And it should be because
if there's anything left it's
1:49:33
belief in the justice system.
1:49:37
Adam Curry: Why is he doing
that?
1:49:39
John C Dvorak: I wonder myself.
I saw it was like he threw the
1:49:43
whole party under the bus. I
think it's because he never got
1:49:46
the support. He expected to stay
as governor. And he's worked.
1:49:51
He's worked. And now he's a
critic. So either that as part
1:49:55
of our part of the giant scheme
to get make sure Trump gets in
1:49:59
well, I'm thinking
1:50:00
Adam Curry: that but if you look
at our the official lawyer of
1:50:04
the show, Rob, he always sends
me an updated schedule of all of
1:50:08
the lawsuits that Trump is
involved in. How many can you
1:50:11
name?
1:50:13
John C Dvorak: I can only name
three or four. Yeah, there's
1:50:15
Adam Curry: like nine. Yeah. So
we have the hush money case in
1:50:19
New York. Right. Where that's, I
guess we're still waiting
1:50:24
sentencing. We have the civil
fraud. The New York Trump and
1:50:29
others falsely inflated property
values to obtain loans. We have
1:50:33
the Dominion. Case Dominion
claims it was defamed when
1:50:37
Trump's campaign allegedly made
false accusations that a
1:50:41
Dominion executive help rig the
2020 election that's in
1:50:44
Colorado, Georgia state criminal
trial Trump and 13 others
1:50:49
allegedly meddled in Georgia's
2020 presidential election.
1:50:52
That's the funny Willis case.
January 6. Immunity this is in
1:50:56
the DC district. Of course, the
DC Circuit perhaps the SCOTUS
1:51:01
federal criminal, Trump
allegedly incited an
1:51:04
insurrection on January 6, which
allegedly had the effect of
1:51:07
obstructing official government
proceedings and defrauded the
1:51:10
United States and other things.
That's Jack Smith, then we have
1:51:13
what I think is interesting.
This is not necessarily
1:51:16
involving Trump, but this is
also in DC. There's a separate
1:51:21
January 6 Defendant, Joseph
Fisher, who was charged with
1:51:24
assault and he's arguing that
DOJ can't use Sarbanes Oxley to
1:51:29
prosecute him, which is
phenomenal that somehow they're
1:51:35
they're trying to convict him of
violating Sarbanes Oxley, which
1:51:40
I'm not quite sure how that
works. South. Then we have the
1:51:45
Southern District, Florida, the
classified documents mishandling
1:51:50
Michigan, Michigan, he filed
charges against 15 Republican
1:51:54
electors for allegedly trying to
overturn the 2020 election.
1:51:58
Trump is not amongst the 15. But
of course it has to do with him,
1:52:01
Arizona. That's the 18
Republicans Giuliani Mark
1:52:06
Meadows. We have the jean
Carroll defamation cases, two of
1:52:11
them. I mean, this is it's, it's
amazing.
1:52:15
John C Dvorak: What they've done
all after he said he's gonna run
1:52:17
for president. Yes. That's what
that's what makes everyone came
1:52:21
after he made the you know,
yeah, some within three days.
1:52:24
That's
1:52:24
Adam Curry: what makes it so
cool.
1:52:27
John C Dvorak: Yes, well, the
only thing I think they
1:52:30
accomplish what they wanted, I
don't think these cases are
1:52:32
gonna go anywhere now, because
the idea was to get him
1:52:35
convicted of something. And it's
been discussed and discussed,
1:52:38
and they say that people on the
inside that are at the, at the
1:52:42
hideout where Biden's being
prepped and jacked
1:52:46
Adam Curry: up, it's called Camp
Camp David, Camp
1:52:48
John C Dvorak: David, you but
it's in the basement is so he
1:52:51
feels comfortable. And so the
idea is he's going to throw out
1:52:57
the term convicted felon, which
is all they really wanted to get
1:53:01
out of this all these cases,
somebody because the rest of
1:53:04
these have been put off now that
these cases are not going to
1:53:06
come to fruition. But they got
what they wanted, which is
1:53:09
convicted felon before the
sentencing. And before all this,
1:53:14
anything that can reverse the
decision can go into play
1:53:18
because this is next Thursday,
you're going to have the debate,
1:53:21
and Biden is going to drop the
convicted felon bomb at the
1:53:27
debate,
1:53:27
Adam Curry: Trump will be ready
for that.
1:53:31
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well,
interesting to see what what
1:53:33
what ready means that regard? I
don't know. They'll be ready.
1:53:37
But what you're gonna say
1:53:38
Adam Curry: I predict huge
numbers on that CNN broadcast.
1:53:41
And that is going to break all
records. And it's it's kind of
1:53:44
interesting, because it's in a
way it's a throwback to the 60s.
1:53:47
I think the way they're running
it is very similar to the
1:53:51
Kennedy Nixon debate, you know,
just a studio no audience to
1:53:56
answer question, then you answer
the question very, quote
1:54:00
unquote, civilized.
1:54:02
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Right. So,
so I was looking into Jake
1:54:06
Tapper's background spook when
you because he's going to be one
1:54:10
of the two hosts him and Dana
Bash. Dana
1:54:12
Adam Curry: Bash was literally
married to a spook.
1:54:16
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yes,
exactly. So if you if you read,
1:54:20
I think it's an even in his
Wikipedia. Jake Tapper takes
1:54:24
credit. Do you know the first
CNN debate with Hillary and
1:54:31
Trump and Trump back in
2016 2015 2016? Era? There was
1:54:36
one of the debates was at CNN.
Yeah. And because whoever was
1:54:40
really interested in these in
this debate
1:54:42
Adam Curry: where they gave
Hillary the the questions, Donna
1:54:45
Brazil yet
1:54:46
John C Dvorak: right. The dawn
of Brazil gave her the credit,
1:54:48
but the point is, is that it got
the highest rating CNN ever got.
1:54:52
Yeah. And they credited because
of the presence of Jake Tapper.
1:54:56
Really? Yeah.
1:54:58
Adam Curry: Well, I if I I
recall correctly one of our
1:55:01
producers was in catering and
catered the assistant CIA CIA
1:55:10
directors birthday if something
like It was either that or FBI
1:55:14
and Jake Tapper was there just
working the room. Yeah, yeah,
1:55:19
yeah, of course. That's sources
say you know, sources. So
1:55:23
John C Dvorak: this will be a
huge blockbuster even though ABC
1:55:25
is gonna also carry it. But
it'll be big numbers for CNN,
1:55:29
even though it's going to be
watered down because ABC is also
1:55:31
going to do a simulcast. I don't
know how they got that to
1:55:34
happen. But you know, they
happened and then you'll be
1:55:40
stuck because a chopper Yeah,
everyone wants to see him.
1:55:42
Adam Curry: Wow. tappers, the
man. He's the man of the hour.
1:55:46
He's the man about town. There's
two incidents with Southwest
1:55:51
that I just need to handle for a
second here.
1:55:53
Unknown: The FAA is
investigating another concerning
1:55:56
incident on a Southwest Airlines
flight after a plane appear to
1:56:00
come dangerously close to homes
near Oklahoma City. For some
1:56:03
reason, they blew through and
assigned altitude and continued
1:56:07
and get very close to the
ground.
1:56:09
The Boeing 737 Which took off
from Las Vegas Tuesday night was
1:56:13
descending into Oklahoma City's
airport just after midnight,
1:56:16
when it dropped as low as 525
feet over the city of Yukon
1:56:22
passing just over a high school
a low altitude alarm alerted air
1:56:26
traffic control which contacted
the cockpit
1:56:32
air traffic controller in the
tower saved the day by telling
1:56:36
them check your altitude.
1:56:38
Adam Curry: This is what I find
so interest this couple of
1:56:40
things in this report and was
very similar everywhere. So the
1:56:45
the flight goes to low clearly
because they're still on their
1:56:49
approach. And there they are
low. And the tower says hey, we
1:56:53
got a low altitude warning you
guys okay? He didn't say check
1:56:57
your altimeter? No, he didn't
say they just you guys. Okay,
1:56:59
everything all right, to which
they replied, Yeah, we're good.
1:57:02
And then they they increase
their altitude.
1:57:10
Unknown: The air traffic
controller in the tower, save
1:57:13
the day by telling them check
your altitude, the plane
1:57:15
landed safely. But local
residents flooded social media
1:57:19
saying they thought the plane
was going to hit their homes. It
1:57:22
was night it was late. Perhaps
the crew was tired. They were
1:57:25
descending over the prairie. So
there was no lights or no visual
1:57:29
reference. It was essentially
descending over a black hole.
1:57:31
But this
1:57:33
Adam Curry: I don't know who
this Jumoke is who's reporting
1:57:35
on this. But you're looking at
your altimeter you're looking at
1:57:40
at the height of your aircraft,
you're not looking out into the
1:57:43
black hole. Where are we? I
could use anything, Bob, I don't
1:57:47
know. You see. I mean, the only
thing I can imagine happened
1:57:52
here is they didn't set their
their pressure altitude known as
1:57:56
the Q and H which gives you the
correct altitude reading based
1:57:59
upon the barometric pressure.
Maybe that happened. Or maybe
1:58:04
they're just really
inexperienced. Either way this
1:58:06
should not have happened. But at
the EI baby, that's possible.
1:58:11
And, and here's this kind of
goes into the neck of the next
1:58:15
story, which is the part of this
report for you know, whenever I
1:58:20
fly, when I fly the Cirrus from
the flight school I if I go to
1:58:25
Dallas with Tina, who is not
doesn't really love flying in
1:58:28
this little plane. But I always
take the instructor because I'm
1:58:31
going to be 60 in September. I'm
not I'm not fast, I don't fly
1:58:35
enough that I can especially
Dallas area where there's four
1:58:39
airports is very busy. And if
you're on the radio you go then
1:58:43
the next thing the air traffic
control does, Okay, you go fly
1:58:46
out 20 minutes that way, we'll
call you back later when you
1:58:49
think you're ready to come in.
So, but these are 25 to 28 year
1:58:53
olds, and I fly what maybe twice
a year, maybe three times a year
1:58:58
to go somewhere. It's always a
new instructor because they are
1:59:03
getting they're getting zapped
up right away straight into the
1:59:06
airlines. A lot of them female
and they're low hours they've
1:59:11
got him 700 to maybe 1000 hours
so they get another 500 Then you
1:59:17
can fly tech according to law
you can fly on you know on a jet
1:59:22
on a big one of the passenger
jet but they really don't have
1:59:27
just all the experience and
whatever happened with the
1:59:30
pilots you know I think a lot of
them died laden retired lot of
1:59:33
got out of the business does not
necessarily I don't know about
1:59:37
Dei, but there's not a lot of
experiential airmen and air
1:59:42
women who are in the business
now and this is what we're
1:59:45
seeing. They were
1:59:46
Unknown: given a clearance for a
visual approach. So they were
1:59:48
looking out at the lights of
Oklahoma City looking for the
1:59:51
airport, and for some reason
they missed that assigned
1:59:54
altitude perhaps was distraction
in the cockpit
1:59:57
earlier this week. It was
revealed to southwest Lean from
2:00:00
Hawaii came within just 400 feet
of slamming into the ocean back
2:00:04
in April, a memo saying a newer
first officer accidentally
2:00:08
pushed forward the control
column.
2:00:10
Adam Curry: This is unbelievable
to me, because they were
2:00:13
executing a go around, it was
horrible weather, there was a
2:00:16
lot of torrential rain, a lot of
airplanes, we're doing go round,
2:00:20
which is hey, I don't feel good.
I don't think we should land.
2:00:23
Let's just Let's go around.
We'll try it again. And so what
2:00:27
you do then is you view push the
throttle forward, you pull back
2:00:31
on the control column,
eventually you want to put the
2:00:34
put the flaps back in the right
position. why someone would push
2:00:39
forward on the column that
person should not be in the
2:00:42
cockpit. I don't know what
happened there. All I know is
2:00:46
that the real good pilots who
are from Navy and Air Force
2:00:51
they're not going to airlines
that have Boeing anymore.
2:00:54
They're all going to Airbus
outfits, particularly FedEx and
2:01:01
anything else that that doesn't
have passengers and has Airbus
2:01:06
they don't want to fly Boeing
and Southwest is all Boeing so
2:01:11
that's my report. Well, that
stinks. It does stink it's not
2:01:15
it's not it's not there
2:01:17
John C Dvorak: are see five
pilots you think it by anything
2:01:20
new but they don't
2:01:21
Adam Curry: want to fly that
they don't want to fly
2:01:22
southwest.
2:01:24
John C Dvorak: I guess not. No.
2:01:30
Adam Curry: It's pride month,
John. Time to make fun.
2:01:34
John C Dvorak: Oh, yes, I've
been I only had my one
2:01:37
opportunity for this. I guess
you must have a few.
2:01:40
Adam Curry: I do. Yes. I got
some Chicago local news. The
2:01:43
University of Illinois has been
has received an award for their
2:01:52
let me see what is it the LGBTQ
plus health care equality high
2:01:58
performer and boy, the ladies on
the show we're all Jide it's a
2:02:03
two parter.
2:02:04
Unknown: His pride month the
University of Illinois Hospital
2:02:06
and Clinics have a lot to
celebrate who I
2:02:09
have has been recognized as an
LGBTQ plus health care equality
2:02:13
leader for the ninth year in a
row. That means they are going
2:02:16
beyond the basics when it comes
to adopting policies and
2:02:19
practices in queer care. Dr.
Mimi arquilla Queer
2:02:23
Adam Curry: care, here it is
John does the new one queer care
2:02:26
we have no health care, no queer
care comes
2:02:28
Unknown: to adopting policies
and practices in queer care. Dr.
2:02:32
Muni, Aquila and Carl Johnson,
join us now with more. Thank you
2:02:35
so much for being here. Thanks
for having us. Thank you. Yeah.
2:02:38
So Doctor, tell us what this
designation really means.
2:02:40
Adam Curry: Doctor, what is
queer care? Can we start there?
2:02:44
Unknown: Okay, so it means that
our health care facility was
2:02:50
evaluated in four areas. And
those areas being the programs
2:02:55
and services we provide for
LGBTQ plus people, the our what
2:02:59
our foundational practices are,
in terms of organization, in
2:03:03
terms of our involvement with
the community, and also in terms
2:03:06
of our employee benefits and
services. And so we provide
2:03:11
services in all four of those
areas, and we do it, we feel
2:03:15
very well. And that is how we
get that designation is because
2:03:19
we were able to achieve high
status, high status high
2:03:23
standards in those areas. And
it's
2:03:25
so important to promote
inclusive care. What does that
2:03:27
mean, tell all of our viewers
Yeah, so I think when
2:03:30
Adam Curry: underserved by the
way, this this clearly woman who
2:03:33
you're hearing female voice is
dressed and looks like a dude,
2:03:36
Unknown: what does that mean?
Tell all of our viewers Yeah, so
2:03:39
I think when understanding
inclusive care, you first have
2:03:41
to kind of understand that not
everyone has the same experience
2:03:45
in healthcare. And that can be
for a lot of reasons. It can be
2:03:48
because of gender, sexual
orientation, race, insurance,
2:03:51
status, lots of different
things. And with Inclusive care,
2:03:55
the goal is to provide high
quality care, to everyone. And
2:03:59
to do that you really have to
break down barriers and meet the
2:04:02
community where it's at and
really address those needs. So
2:04:05
Adam Curry: I was about to throw
this clip away. I'm like this.
2:04:08
They said absolutely nothing
other than we excel at queer
2:04:12
care, which is just, it's just
offensive. What is queer care? I
2:04:17
mean, that's not even a gender.
But now Now we have queer care.
2:04:21
And I would have tossed it out
had I not gotten a complete
2:04:24
explanation of what they really
won the award for in this second
2:04:28
clip, talk about
2:04:29
Unknown: some of those
hesitations that people might
2:04:30
face in going to get care where
someone may not even think that
2:04:34
this is something that other
people are facing.
2:04:36
Yeah, so there's a lot of
reasons people don't like going
2:04:39
to the doctor. Yeah, I think in
particular for LGBTQ people. It
2:04:43
can be, you know, fearful of
other situations that have
2:04:46
happened that have been
unpleasant like being called the
2:04:49
wrong name being misgendered as
you know, invasive questions
2:04:53
that don't really have to do
with what you're there for, or
2:04:55
just having a provider who
doesn't know a whole lot about
2:04:58
LGBTQ health care. And as
someone who's not only a doctor,
2:05:02
but like a patient and has had
all of those experiences at
2:05:05
other healthcare institutions, I
completely understand why people
2:05:09
don't want to go to the doctor
and I really empathize with
2:05:11
them. But I think it also kind
of drives me to advocate for,
2:05:16
you know, a really great
healthcare experience. And, you
2:05:19
know, similar to you i health,
you know, the guiding forces
2:05:22
kind of treat others the way
you'd want to be treated. And in
2:05:25
doing so, you know, there's a
lot of things to make people
2:05:29
more comfortable at the doctor
in the healthcare setting. All
2:05:32
Adam Curry: right here, we're
getting down to it. So it's
2:05:34
about being misgendered. And
what what actually can we do to
2:05:40
win this award and make you feel
comfortable?
2:05:43
Unknown: And, you know, some of
those things are as easy as
2:05:45
wearing like a pronoun pen to
let people know what pronouns
2:05:50
are asking people, their name,
their pronouns, using those
2:05:53
correctly, and just creating a
welcoming environment. It's
2:05:57
about
2:05:57
Adam Curry: the pronouns. up to
it, yes, it's all about wearing
2:06:03
a pronoun pin. So people know
that you're an ally, and that
2:06:07
you care about pronouns. That's
it, because this person was
2:06:11
misgendered. Somewhere. And this
one minutes, queer care. Well,
2:06:20
but I love the wall, but your
insurance status I have no, I
2:06:24
literally have no health
insurance.
2:06:27
John C Dvorak: But you had some
sort of Texas thing? No,
2:06:29
Adam Curry: I have. You know, we
have crowd health, which is it's
2:06:37
crowd funding. So you, you pay
like 300 bucks a month. That's
2:06:42
reasonable. And, yeah, but we
were paying 1800 a month. For
2:06:47
the two of us. That's not
reasonable and deductible
2:06:50
$16,000 Are you kidding me?
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
2:07:00
Unknown: That's just the whole
thing. So the chip
2:07:02
Adam Curry: is a complete chip.
But if you go for the queer
2:07:06
care, Oh, you don't have to have
any insurance, your query will
2:07:08
take care of, you know, maybe I
might have to this seems to be
2:07:15
some benefits.
2:07:18
John C Dvorak: So I just had to
change topics a little bit. I do
2:07:24
have a clip. He says we brought
up the very beginning of the
2:07:27
show, which was what can trigger
a collapse of the AI phenomenon.
2:07:32
Yeah. And so I have this what I
call the wild clip, which is a
2:07:36
clip that addresses this a
little bit it's from NPR it's
2:07:40
about the Clear View suit. It is
not really being covered very
2:07:44
well but it's
2:07:44
Adam Curry: layer view is are
those the guys that that sell
2:07:47
all the pictures to the cops?
2:07:50
John C Dvorak: Yeah, facial
recognition company. Yeah, that
2:07:52
company. Yeah.
2:07:54
Unknown: Play. Yep.
2:07:56
Just play soul recognition.
Startup clear view AI reached a
2:08:00
settlement and the lawsuit
alleging its massive photo
2:08:03
collection of faces, violated
the subjects privacy rights.
2:08:07
attorneys say the deal could be
worth more than $50 million. To
2:08:11
Ed Sheeran. Johnson Coleman gave
preliminary approval to the
2:08:14
agreement yesterday. But the
unique agreement gives
2:08:17
plaintiffs in the case a share
of the company's potential
2:08:20
value, rather than a traditional
payout. Clear View is not
2:08:24
admitting fault as part of the
agreement.
2:08:27
John C Dvorak: Okay, what makes
this wow to me is that these
2:08:30
companies have find, especially
a public company decided, hey,
2:08:34
what if we do the payout of
these lawsuits in stock? I
2:08:42
thought that was just a good
idea. It
2:08:44
Adam Curry: is a good idea.
Yeah, okay.
2:08:47
John C Dvorak: We Oh, why do
$100 million? Okay, let's issue
2:08:50
some more
2:08:50
Adam Curry: stock after they do
an offering for that they do a
2:08:53
seconder.
2:08:53
John C Dvorak: I just I think
it's a private it'd be a private
2:08:55
offering. You could do it.
There's all kinds of scam ish
2:08:57
ways to do it. I
2:08:58
Adam Curry: could do a pipe.
2:09:01
John C Dvorak: They could do a
lot of things. But it's it's
2:09:04
just genius. As far as I'm
concerned, companies note this
2:09:09
even for say Ford, you know,
General Motors, they have a Ford
2:09:12
during the pinto era. Oh,
instead of giving people money
2:09:15
and have some
2:09:16
Adam Curry: stock stock. That is
a good idea. Well, speaking of
2:09:21
speaking of lawsuits, or legal
matters, so, you know, although
2:09:28
there's not a lot of reporting
in the US, per se, about the
2:09:31
Saudi Arabia D dollar rising,
just going to use that term, by
2:09:38
apparently not renewing the deal
to only sell their oil in US
2:09:42
dollars making the US dollar the
reserve currency. Well, I think
2:09:47
that we're new. We're starting
to nudge them a little bit. That
2:09:52
CBS out of the blue the CIA
broadcasting system starts to
2:09:56
bring up an old story which
includes the 28 pages that were
2:10:01
not included in the non
commissioned report. Oh yeah,
2:10:05
Unknown: CBS News exclusive the
unnerving video outside the US
2:10:09
Capitol film two years before
the 911 attacks. Good evening,
2:10:13
I'm Nora O'Donnell and thank you
for being with us. Two decades
2:10:17
ago, the 911 Commission found
that all kinda acted alone. But
2:10:21
victims families say that is not
true. pointing to this video and
2:10:25
other evidence is proof. They
are suing Saudi Arabia claiming
2:10:29
its government provided crucial
assistance to the hijackers and
2:10:32
planners behind the September 11
attacks that killed nearly 3000
2:10:37
people. 60 minutes correspondent
Cecilia Vega reports
2:10:43
a voice on the video says in
Arabic, I am transmitting these
2:10:47
scenes to you from the heart of
the American capitol,
2:10:49
Washington. This video unsealed
in Federal Court this week and
2:10:53
obtained by 60 minutes was
recorded in the summer of 1999.
2:10:59
Man Behind the camera is Omar
lbu. Me who the FBI says was an
2:11:04
operative of the Saudi
intelligence service with close
2:11:07
ties to two of the 911
hijackers. The video was filmed
2:11:10
over several days, the UMi
recorded entrances and exits of
2:11:15
the Capitol security posts a
model of the building and nearby
2:11:19
landmarks in this portion of the
video but unique points out the
2:11:23
Washington Monument and says I
will get over there and report
2:11:27
to you in detail what is there.
He also notes the airport is not
2:11:31
far away. So
2:11:32
Adam Curry: then they bring in a
whole bunch of former spooks to
2:11:35
confirm this and this was
probably related to flight 93
2:11:39
Richard
2:11:39
Unknown: Lambert is a retired
FBI agent who led the initial
2:11:42
911 investigation in San Diego,
where bu me and the two
2:11:46
hijackers live temporarily
before the attacks. He's now a
2:11:49
consultant on the case filed by
the 911 families if
2:11:53
you've ever flown into
Washington DC, one of the first
2:11:56
things you see on the horizon is
the Washington Monument. So if
2:12:00
you know where your other
targets are in terms of the
2:12:03
Washington Monument, it helps
guide you to your intended
2:12:07
target.
2:12:08
Federal investigators believe
the hijackers on flight 93,
2:12:12
which crashed near Shanksville,
Pennsylvania had the US Capitol
2:12:16
as their likely target. The
lawyers for the 911 families and
2:12:20
former intelligence analysts we
spoke to believe portions of the
2:12:23
video show be Umi surveilling
the capitol as part of that
2:12:27
plan. And in the video, he
references a quote plan. You
2:12:31
said that in the plan, what plan
2:12:36
I was talking to what do you
think he's talking about? I
2:12:39
think he's talking to the al
Qaeda planners who tasked him to
2:12:44
take the pre operational
surveillance video of the
2:12:47
intended target.
2:12:48
So this video is taken in late
June and early July of 1999.
2:12:53
What does that timing tell you?
Well, that
2:12:55
means it was taken within 90
days of the time when senior al
2:13:01
Qaeda planners reached the
decision that the Capitol would
2:13:05
be a target of the 911 attacks.
2:13:07
That's when Osama bin Laden
decided to approve Khalid Sheikh
2:13:10
Mohammed so called planes
operation. In the days after 911
2:13:15
British police discovered the
video during a raid on Bay
2:13:17
yummies UK apartment. They also
cease by unis handwritten
2:13:21
address book that the lawyers
for the 911 families say was
2:13:25
filled with phone numbers of
numerous senior Saudi officials
2:13:28
who were in the government at
the time.
2:13:33
Adam Curry: I don't believe any
of this story, of course, but it
2:13:35
that's not the point. The point
is, okay, Saudi Arabia. Well, we
2:13:40
got your number.
2:13:41
John C Dvorak: We go back to the
911. situation at the time,
2:13:47
there was a lot of discussion
about suing Saudi Arabia. Yes.
2:13:51
And our government blocked it.
Yes. Because we had no no no,
2:13:55
you can't sue them because
they're our friends. And so it
2:13:58
got blocked never happened and
then this, but we all knew that
2:14:02
there was some some information
that was left out of the report
2:14:04
and which could be anything that
could create the had number of
2:14:08
years to create this whole thing
could be like you think is maybe
2:14:11
a fake? But yes, this is exactly
right. This is a little pressure
2:14:18
point, because if Saudi Arabia
got blamed and sued by all these
2:14:22
by the 3000 families that were
harmed, they it would be a
2:14:28
nightmare. That was the idea was
to prevent that the nightmare
2:14:32
now Okay, you guys are going to
screw us out of our petro dollar
2:14:36
deal that you agreed to either
resign up or the nightmare
2:14:39
begins. That's what this is a
2:14:46
Adam Curry: little annoying
fact.
2:14:48
John C Dvorak: That was good.
That was good. Find. I'll give
2:14:51
you a clip of the day. Wow.
2:14:53
Adam Curry: Thank you.
Unexpected I just I came across
2:15:00
it. I'm like, hey, yeah, winter
clip that.
2:15:03
John C Dvorak: Let me clip that.
And that's what the show is all
2:15:06
about. That's what
2:15:07
Adam Curry: it's always about.
But I want to move into Israel
2:15:11
is now just Israel versus
everybody.
2:15:14
John C Dvorak: I do have the
Gaza update from PBS. If you
2:15:17
want to just start with that.
Oh,
2:15:18
Adam Curry: yeah, we'll start
with that. Hold on a second.
2:15:21
Gauze. Gauze update
2:15:23
Unknown: PBS. Here we go. death
toll in Gaza climbed higher
2:15:26
today following two Israeli
airstrikes on separate
2:15:28
locations. One hit a refugee
camp, and another struck an
2:15:32
Eastern neighborhood of Gaza
City. Palestinian and hospital
2:15:36
officials said at least 39
people were killed. Israel's
2:15:39
military said they were
targeting to Hamas military
2:15:41
sites. And in Tel Aviv tonight
1000s of people rallied to
2:15:45
demand new elections and call
for Israeli Prime Minister
2:15:48
Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a
deal to bring hostages home.
2:15:53
Adam Curry: They keep trying to
get him out. He's just like,
2:15:55
nope, nope, I'm just gonna sit
here for a bar. It's
2:15:58
John C Dvorak: mostly western
reporting that talks about this
2:16:01
way. If you get it, if you get
to the Middle East reporting,
2:16:05
there's less of it. Oh, yeah.
Trying to get him out. I think
2:16:08
this is us trying to get him
out? Well,
2:16:11
Adam Curry: I don't think we're
trying to well, maybe the Biden
2:16:14
administration, but the whole
idea here is exactly what we
2:16:17
heard from Massey,
Representative Massey, you said,
2:16:23
these military industrial
complex donors to AIPAC. They
2:16:27
want war, they want more war.
They want war, not just within
2:16:32
Gaza. That's just that's just a
starter pack. We want to go to
2:16:35
Lebanon. It's on the west Clarke
seven, and they want to get to
2:16:39
Iran. And that's where this is
headed. Here's NPR
2:16:42
Unknown: we have to remember the
Lebanese state is extremely weak
2:16:45
and Hezbollah was created with
the help of Iran, largely to
2:16:49
fight Israel after the Israeli
invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Mr.
2:16:54
Allah said his group is much
better arm now. And as an
2:16:57
example, he noted drone footage
released this week with detailed
2:17:02
images of potential targets in
Haifa, Israel's major port city,
2:17:06
he gloated that with all of
Israel's air defenses, the drone
2:17:09
was able to slip through them.
And he said that if there were
2:17:13
war, Hezbollah would fight with
what he said were no rules. As
2:17:18
for reaction, Israel's Foreign
Minister dismissed Israel as
2:17:21
remarks saying that if it came
to war, Hezbollah would be
2:17:24
destroyed and Lebanon severely
hit and Israel also has
2:17:28
interests in a gas field off the
coast of Lebanon. Oh, yes,
2:17:31
Adam Curry: yes. Oh, Leviathan.
Leviathan right over there.
2:17:35
Beautiful. And the BBC, of
course, chimed in the
2:17:38
Unknown: UN chief Antonio
Guterres has warned that
2:17:40
escalating tensions on Israel's
northern border could trigger a
2:17:45
catastrophe and turn Lebanon
into quote, another Gaza. All
2:17:50
Out conflict has been
threatening to erupt there since
2:17:52
the Lebanese militant group
Hezbollah began firing missiles
2:17:56
into northern Israel following
the October the seventh
2:17:59
massacre, prompting tit for tat
responses from Israel.
2:18:02
Adam Curry: It's so interesting
how this how this happens, like
2:18:05
well, you know, we're almost
done there and Gaza, we've
2:18:09
killed everybody. You know what,
why don't we lob some missiles.
2:18:13
It's our turn now. Now we're
gonna do it. Israeli
2:18:17
Unknown: strikes into southern
Lebanon have displaced more than
2:18:19
90,000 people on the Lebanese
side of the border. But some
2:18:24
have stayed, saying it's better
to die at home with dignity than
2:18:28
be driven out of their land like
the Palestinians. Fear of all
2:18:33
out war extends as far as the
capital of Beirut, where some
2:18:37
say they keep suitcases packed
and passports ready. In case
2:18:41
full scale war breaks out.
Hezbollah is a well trained,
2:18:48
well armed military, backed by
Iran, Iraq. Its leader Hassan
2:18:56
Nasrallah has threatened to
invade Israel if full scale war
2:19:00
breaks out and says nowhere in
the country will be spared. But
2:19:04
Israel has been talking up its
readiness to take them on. tough
2:19:08
talk is part of both sides
strategy of deterrence. But the
2:19:13
line between deterrence and
decision on a wall is becoming
2:19:17
harder to see. But the longer
this conflict goes on, the more
2:19:21
it turns into playing with fire.
2:19:25
Adam Curry: I mean, war is such
a great business. I mean, how's
2:19:31
Raytheon stock? Is that doing
anything that doing anything? I
2:19:35
mean? Take a look at the year to
date. Oh, yeah. He was at $85 in
2:19:41
January, it's 105. Now
Beautiful, beautiful. Raytheon
2:19:45
stock up. That's great. You
know, then you remember all my
2:19:49
Iranian friends always say oh,
no, no, no, they are. They're
2:19:53
America and Iran. They're there.
They play these games together.
2:19:58
And then when we have Russia
doing deals with North Korea.
2:20:03
You can't make this up. South
2:20:06
Unknown: Korea has condemned the
defense pact that North Korea
2:20:08
signed with Russia. Earlier this
week. The foreign ministry
2:20:12
called it a threat to peace and
stability on the Korean
2:20:15
peninsula. So someone Russia's
ambassador to the Foreign
2:20:19
Ministry to discuss its
concerns. While the details of
2:20:22
the military pact are still
murky, South Korea is worried
2:20:25
that it could encourage North
Korean aggression. So all
2:20:28
announced in response that it
was considering sending weapons
2:20:31
to Ukraine to support its
defense against Russia.
2:20:35
Adam Curry: Are you kidding me?
So NASA now we have North Korea
2:20:40
and South Korea representing
Russia and Ukraine. Are you
2:20:43
kidding me? Frank,
2:20:45
Unknown: Vladimir Putin wants
you all that supporting Ukraine
2:20:47
would be a very big mistake. I
was still interpreting that
2:20:51
warning.
2:20:52
Well, I think solar is still
interpreting that warning. One
2:20:56
of the articles of this
agreement suggested that each
2:21:00
country North Korea and Russia
would come to each other's aid
2:21:04
with all means, if they were in
a state of war, the Korean War
2:21:10
ended with an armistice not a
peace treaty. So a state of war
2:21:13
arguably exists now on the
Korean peninsula.
2:21:18
Pawleys? This is just sick. It's
unbelievable.
2:21:25
Adam Curry: Just pushing it
right in our face. Oh, look,
2:21:27
we'll make some more war stuff
over here. Now spend more on
2:21:32
war.
2:21:35
John C Dvorak: In the middle is
a good way to waste money. Yeah,
2:21:37
we
2:21:37
Adam Curry: got people with
Trank just upside down in the
2:21:39
streets. bent over
2:21:43
John C Dvorak: to I have my to
Ukraine, Ukraine. I'm sorry. To
2:21:47
hit right Ukraine. I got a
couple of Ukraine updates one
2:21:50
from NPR and contrasting with
one from PBS.
2:21:53
Adam Curry: Okay. I think
2:21:57
John C Dvorak: they're both but
they're both short. But let's
2:22:00
see how they do. Let's start
with NPR. Russia
2:22:02
Unknown: launched a major attack
of guided bombs on heart Kyiv
2:22:06
Ukraine's second biggest city
overnight, killing at least
2:22:08
three people and injuring more
than a dozen witnesses. A four
2:22:12
explosions were heard around the
city. And Moscow also targeted
2:22:15
Ukraine's power grid for the
eighth time in the past three
2:22:18
months. Ukraine's Air Force as
its defense systems shot down 12
2:22:22
of the 16 missiles and all 13
drones launched by Russia.
2:22:27
Adam Curry: Ma'am, Eric
Schmidt's make an out on this
2:22:29
deal. Remember, he was doing all
the drones in Ukraine?
2:22:35
John C Dvorak: He's making I
don't know. I don't remember
2:22:37
that. Yeah, yeah. We had a
2:22:38
Adam Curry: whole he had a whole
sit down with Fareed Zakaria and
2:22:40
he's like go drones gonna be
drones and he was right. It's
2:22:43
all drones everyone's drones
2:22:45
John C Dvorak: oh actually the
guided bombs are the more they
2:22:49
it's interesting that NPR
mentioned the guided bombs which
2:22:52
is really what the Russians are.
Did know when you stop these
2:22:55
things because they're coming
down at the speed of gravity
2:22:58
right the glider buzzing around.
I find it interesting at PBS I
2:23:05
don't believe in this clip even
mentions the guided bombs.
2:23:09
Ukrainian
2:23:09
Unknown: president Volodymyr
Zelensky, said Russia has
2:23:11
launched more than 2400 guided
missiles and Ukrainian targets
2:23:16
this month alone. His remarks
followed a deadly day of attacks
2:23:19
that killed three people and
injured dozens more in Hartke.
2:23:23
That's Ukraine's second largest
city. So Alinsky said Ukraine
2:23:26
needs more help from Western
allies.
2:23:32
Adam Curry: So I got some useful
news. From Africa news, it's not
2:23:37
about Africa. This is the only
place I could find this, where
2:23:41
Putin is reaching out to NATO.
2:23:44
Unknown: During a briefing with
graduate military and law
2:23:47
enforcement schools in Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
2:23:52
expressed his willingness to
engage in discussions regarding
2:23:55
security matters with NATO
member countries. Recently at a
2:23:59
meeting with the leadership of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
2:24:03
I outlined our vision on the
work to create people and in
2:24:06
divisible security in Eurasia,
we are ready for a broad
2:24:09
international discussion of
these key vital issues, both
2:24:13
with our colleagues in the
Shanghai Cooperation
2:24:16
Organization, the CIS, the
Eurasian Economic Community,
2:24:20
BRICS and other international
associations, and NATO states
2:24:25
among others, naturally, by the
time when they are ready for
2:24:29
this, in addition, Putin pledged
to enhance the nuclear
2:24:33
capabilities of his nation and
equip the military with a state
2:24:37
of weaponry. So
2:24:39
Adam Curry: he's wants to talk
but in the meantime, ramp up the
2:24:43
nukes. They don't want to talk.
No, of course they don't want to
2:24:47
talk to himself. They never talk
about peace ever, ever.
2:24:54
John C Dvorak: I have no money
in it. Peace
2:24:57
Adam Curry: is not profitable. I
have a little bit some updates
2:25:03
on the bird flu, which has gone
kind of quiet during this week
2:25:07
as I noticed this during this
week of of the debate. At first
2:25:13
we have Larkin soon to be de
malarkey. And she provides a
2:25:18
boots on the ground. She says
I'm a third generation farmer in
2:25:22
California and I have so much
farming information to share
2:25:26
with you guys. It is our busy
season, but I'll try to send
2:25:29
more info soon. Although the war
on chickens jingle is one of the
2:25:33
best, I believe it is. I believe
it is a war on protein, beef,
2:25:38
dairy and chicken and just
farmers in general. Notice, you
2:25:43
don't hear much about pork. This
is true. Of course, the Chinese
2:25:50
own the pork industry in the US
smithfield foods. We don't hear
2:25:54
much about pork. It's only
chicken, beef dairy, not about
2:25:58
pork.
2:26:00
John C Dvorak: It's interesting,
I think. Yes. And when you add
2:26:03
the pork prices are extremely
low right now.
2:26:06
Adam Curry: Hmm. Yeah. The
summer of pork is what we talked
2:26:09
about.
2:26:10
John C Dvorak: Chinese pork
talked about this summer of
2:26:13
pork. We
2:26:14
Adam Curry: I literally said the
summer of pork on the show.
2:26:18
Yeah. All right. Don't make me
look it up. Now. I
2:26:21
John C Dvorak: want you to look
it up.
2:26:23
Adam Curry: And I reached out to
my friends who did very well in
2:26:27
the testing business during
COVID. Your buddies? Yeah. And I
2:26:31
said, What are you hearing about
the bird flu? Here's what came
2:26:34
back. The CDC made a call out
last week to see li a certified
2:26:40
laboratories, asking them to
create rapid tests for bird flu,
2:26:44
just like they did when COVID
started and a surplus of rapid
2:26:48
tests popped up on the market.
I'll keep you posted. So
2:26:52
John C Dvorak: Oh, that'd be
more free tests. Yeah. Load up.
2:26:57
We
2:26:57
Adam Curry: know it's a bonanza.
We know it's a bonanza.
2:27:01
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, I get
to test for free but somebody's
2:27:03
paying for him.
2:27:05
Adam Curry: Exact taxpayer US
government.
2:27:18
Yes, the vape wars and the vape
wars are back on I see you have
2:27:22
to vape walk vapour clips. I'd
2:27:24
John C Dvorak: like to start
with pathetic. Oh, good.
2:27:27
Adam Curry: Let's start with
those.
2:27:29
John C Dvorak: Let's start with
this is about trying to get kids
2:27:33
off of these things. And this is
considered a crisis. So let's go
2:27:39
to teen vape crisis is good
stuff. One
2:27:42
Unknown: of my friends was so
addicted, she would say things
2:27:44
like, I'll just die at 20
Whatever.
2:27:46
2.1 million teens vaped and
2023. A third of whom were just
2:27:52
in middle school.
2:27:53
Adam Curry: What? Who's doing
this reporting? What outfit?
2:27:57
John C Dvorak: I believe this is
NPR
2:27:58
Unknown: at a Senate hearing
Wednesday, lawmakers asked the
2:28:01
FDA why it's failing to tackle
the problems. This is
2:28:05
a shelf full of potentially
dangerous substances in a store
2:28:12
in the shadow of the FDA
building. I'm just trying to
2:28:15
figure out if any of this is
illegal or how in the hill it's
2:28:18
legal.
2:28:19
Senator Tom Tillis points to
flavors such as strawberry
2:28:23
dragon fruit, watermelon, even
watermelon bubblegum the FDA is
2:28:27
director of tobacco products
Brian King never directly
2:28:31
answered.
2:28:32
We do have a pre market paradigm
for reviewing applications and
2:28:36
the sheer volume of that app.
The volume of those applications
2:28:39
and the volume of the market
requires us to prioritize our
2:28:42
enforcement efforts.
2:28:43
The president of the Campaign
for Tobacco Free Kids, Yolanda
2:28:47
Richardson answered in his
place, FDA
2:28:50
failed to assert its regulatory
authority over E cigarettes
2:28:54
until a substantial e cigarette
market had already formed, and E
2:28:58
cigarettes had already become
the most popular tobacco product
2:29:01
among youth. FDA then further
delay
2:29:04
e cigarette popularity exploded
in the mid 2000s. When they
2:29:08
entered the market, the US
market was valued at $28 billion
2:29:13
in 2023 and is expected to grow
at a compound annual rate of
2:29:18
30.6%. From 2023 to 2030. Only
23 e cigarette brands are
2:29:25
authorized for sale in the US
but over 6000 brands are on the
2:29:30
market.
2:29:31
Adam Curry: What is this is
real. This is actually quite
2:29:34
good. Because I know what this
is about. What is interesting is
2:29:39
they keep saying e cigarette and
tobacco product vape is not a
2:29:45
tobacco product. There's no
tobacco in it. Nicotine Yes. But
2:29:51
that's not a tobacco this was
the whole problem is that kids
2:29:56
were vaping and they weren't
smoking so the MSA the master
2:30:00
states agreement that you know,
the tax money was going down,
2:30:03
down down because these kids are
not on tobacco. Now all of a
2:30:07
sudden, vape is an e cigarette.
And it's a tobacco product. This
2:30:13
is the new, this is the new
thing they're doing. This is a
2:30:16
big switcheroo. Well,
2:30:18
John C Dvorak: they've done a
good job of it. You know, the
2:30:20
funny thing is I had listened to
and recorded and edited these
2:30:24
reports. I, I don't see anybody
using vapes at all and in the
2:30:28
Bay Area.
2:30:30
Adam Curry: While you're about
to, and I'll tell you why. But I
2:30:32
want to hear okay, well, that's
2:30:34
Unknown: up to you can tell me
why over a quarter of youth e
2:30:37
cigarette users use the products
every
2:30:39
day. One of the primary reasons
as you have heard, children are
2:30:44
attracted to E cigarettes is the
sweet fruit candy and mint
2:30:47
flavors.
2:30:48
They come in
2:30:49
Dr. Susan Wally helps people get
off nicotine products. She says
2:30:54
it's very difficult to get
children to quit because of the
2:30:57
high nicotine volume and vapes.
2:30:59
The adolescent brain is more
susceptible to nicotine
2:31:02
addiction. So symptoms of
dependence can appear in days to
2:31:06
weeks. A first experimentation
she says
2:31:09
for most teens usage is
consistent, frequent and
2:31:13
dependent such as the case with
high schooler Josie Shapiro.
2:31:17
The first flavor I tried was
blueberry ice. But I tried
2:31:21
pretty much every flavor my
friends had. I thought I was
2:31:24
just enjoying the flavors. But
soon my 14 year old brain crave
2:31:27
the nicotine more and more
Shapiro is
2:31:29
still addicted. She says vaping
is affecting her mood, her
2:31:33
ability to breathe, her skin and
her social life.
2:31:37
I've tried to quit vaping over
and over again. But it's really
2:31:41
really hard. Everything in my
life is a trigger, hanging out
2:31:44
with friends driving my car,
going to the bathroom going into
2:31:47
the convenience store. All of it
makes me want to
2:31:50
vape the FDA and Department of
Justice have pledged further
2:31:54
cooperation and battling teen
vaping they're forming a task
2:31:58
force with several other
agencies, including the Postal
2:32:01
Service. Yes.
2:32:04
John C Dvorak: Before you go on
with your analysis. I don't know
2:32:07
if you notice this, but she said
she's a 14 year older as her 14
2:32:12
year old brain. Yeah, she's
reading from a script. And then
2:32:15
she said she was driving a car.
2:32:18
Adam Curry: Isn't that
interesting?
2:32:20
John C Dvorak: How does that
work? How does it for you know
2:32:22
as she's stolen, it steals cars
have a license if she's 14
2:32:25
joyriding we used to do that.
There's something about this
2:32:28
report that that kind of
bothered me. All right. So
2:32:32
Adam Curry: we have to go back
and I know we have vape experts
2:32:35
out there who will help me if I
go astray and please feel free
2:32:38
to email me because this I'm a
vapor but it's not an e
2:32:42
cigarette okay, it's a big
battery and I wind the coil and
2:32:45
I've got you know pure cotton
not from China. So first we had
2:32:50
jewel this is really what it was
the jewel e cigarette the vape
2:32:54
which was you know, you put in a
little thing in there a little
2:32:57
cartridge and right Reynolds
bought it or who was it who owns
2:33:04
Marlboro. So Philip Morris
Philip Morris, I guess they
2:33:08
bought it, they bought it they
tanked the company blew the
2:33:11
company up. What's happened now
is all these companies that
2:33:16
wanted to have specially these
flavors, they're all out of
2:33:19
business because the FDA said
you can only get something on
2:33:23
the market if you pay to have
every single flavor and every
2:33:26
nicotine level tested at about a
million bucks per flavor per
2:33:30
nicotine level. So all these
companies went out of business
2:33:33
vaping is pretty much is dead,
except for the Chinese. That's
2:33:38
why the Postal Service was
involved in that report. The
2:33:40
Chinese are flooding the market
with absolute crap because all
2:33:44
these flavors what who knows
what they're putting in that?
2:33:48
But that's not what this is
about. This is about bringing
2:33:51
back jewel. I think one or two
shows ago we had the FDA going
2:33:56
oh yeah, no jewel. Yeah, we're
gonna approve you now. And right
2:34:00
on cue after they took menthol
cigarettes out menthol
2:34:05
cigarettes who smokes menthol
cigarettes, black America, smoke
2:34:08
slit lamp menthol cigarettes,
let's bring them back in people.
2:34:12
Unknown: The FDA has approved
the sale of the first menthol e
2:34:16
cigarettes. For adults, the
authorization does not mean
2:34:20
vaping is safe, but health
officials say it can be a little
2:34:24
bit less harmful. As an
alternative to regular
2:34:28
cigarettes. The move already is
getting pushed back from anti
2:34:30
smoking groups who argue it's
only going to fuel the youth
2:34:33
vaping epidemic further.
2:34:35
Adam Curry: And why do they want
all this? This is because of
2:34:38
Senate Bill 2929 to amend
Internal Revenue Code of 1986
2:34:44
provide tax rate parity among
all tobacco products and for
2:34:48
other purposes. And this is also
known as the What is this
2:34:56
called? The Tobacco Tax Equity
Act cuts. And what do they
2:35:01
insert into the tax code?
Nicotine taxable nicotine?
2:35:07
Remember, it's not a tobacco
product. So now Oh, yeah, this
2:35:12
is how we do it. View on do you
want to do something bad kids no
2:35:16
problem as long as we can tax
it. So now they're going to tax
2:35:20
the vapes. And now we make it
legal again. We just have to get
2:35:24
the Chinese stuff off of the
market. It's so insidious, they
2:35:27
ruined a burgeoning industry.
Almost got Trump in on the deal.
2:35:32
If you remember that Melania
saying, Oh, no, this vaping is
2:35:36
bad. And then Trump was like,
yeah, and then he spun on a
2:35:39
dime, and then dropped out of
that whole thing. Because this
2:35:43
was the scam they were pulling.
They ruined all competition,
2:35:47
gave it to the big tobacco guys.
And now they make it legal
2:35:51
again, with their approved
tobacco products, which is not
2:35:55
tobacco, it's nicotine, and it's
taxed. It's a beautiful scam.
2:36:02
John C Dvorak: It's excellent.
2:36:04
Adam Curry: I have to say, if
you're gonna do it, do it well.
2:36:08
But don't pretend like you have
these little
2:36:10
John C Dvorak: screens, you can
pretend all you want doesn't
2:36:12
matter. Nobody cares.
2:36:14
Adam Curry: I care. But you're
the only one. I'm not the only
2:36:18
I'm not the only vapor.
2:36:20
John C Dvorak: No, I'm saying
you're the only one who cares
2:36:21
about the scam? Oh, well, you
2:36:23
Adam Curry: because I'm not in
on it.
2:36:27
John C Dvorak: Which, by the
way, is a very interesting cake.
2:36:31
I'm not going to expose the
scams I'm not involved in.
2:36:36
Adam Curry: I just have one one
more clip I wanted to play about
2:36:40
the anti Defamation League
because this just cracks me up.
2:36:44
This is This is too funny. It's
from morning, Joe. So it's like
2:36:48
everyone's going crazy. What
side are we supposed to be on?
2:36:52
We had to be on the on the Jews
side on the Arab side, the Hamas
2:36:56
side, the Hezbollah side, we're
confused. Let's go to Wikipedia,
2:36:59
one of
2:37:00
Unknown: the world's most
popular information websites,
2:37:02
has declared the anti Defamation
League as an unreliable source.
2:37:07
The editors at Wikipedia now say
that the top Jewish civil rights
2:37:11
group and one of the world's
preeminent authorities on anti
2:37:14
Jewish hate is not a reliable
source for information about the
2:37:18
ISRAEL PALESTINE conflict and
anti semitism. They're claiming
2:37:23
that because it's you guys are
both in their words, advocacy
2:37:26
and a resource organization. So
therefore, the advocacy, taints
2:37:30
the research, what do you make?
I mean, look, our processes are
2:37:36
rigorous. Our methodologies are
sound, they stand up to
2:37:41
scrutiny. Everything is
transparent, done very above the
2:37:45
board. We have a team of PhDs
who does work, anti semitism is
2:37:49
up, acts of harassment,
vandalism, and violent violence
2:37:52
are up. And if you don't have
the leading organization in the
2:37:55
world, tracking anti semitism in
our data on Wikipedia, anti
2:38:00
semitism will continue to
increase. I mean, we work with
2:38:03
policymakers, we work with
journalists, we work with
2:38:07
elected officials, law
enforcement to shed a light on
2:38:10
this,
2:38:10
Adam Curry: I just love that
they're taking wiki pedia
2:38:14
seriously.
2:38:15
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's
pathetic. But there's also an
2:38:17
ill logic. And what he said in
the old logic is that if we're
2:38:23
not doing our jobs and
antiSemitism will increase,
2:38:27
well, you're doing your jobs and
it's increasing anyway. So what
2:38:31
good are you
2:38:34
Adam Curry: just love the the
editors or Wikipedia determined
2:38:37
John C Dvorak: that Wikipedia
has always been woke, and it's
2:38:39
got all kinds of issues. It's
completely wrong about half a
2:38:43
dozen things that these stays
with it. A bunch
2:38:47
Adam Curry: of spooks running it
is hilarious, I think is great.
2:38:53
Oh, by the way, sir Jake, sent
me a note. We were talking about
2:38:58
Taco Tuesday on the on the
Eisenhower was the Eisenhower,
2:39:03
John C Dvorak: which says, oh,
yeah, the USS Eisenhower
2:39:06
Adam Curry: versus Eisenhower.
And I was like, Oh, what's this
2:39:08
with Taco Tuesday? Well, I got
slapped as an evil supply
2:39:12
officer who has been in charge
of galleys on ships. Hiking,
2:39:16
confirm that Taco Tuesday is a
huge hit of Sailor favorite, and
2:39:21
something we simply can't do
without if Taco Tuesdays went
2:39:24
away. It would be a morale
Crusher. Good to know.
2:39:31
John C Dvorak: I doubt it's good
to know I
2:39:33
Adam Curry: take it from Sir
Jake. And he uses he knows
2:39:36
what's up. Well,
2:39:38
John C Dvorak: if he before he
take our final break, I do have
2:39:41
a kind of a second half a show
couple of clips. You
2:39:44
Adam Curry: know, well, let me
just throw the Theramin in. All
2:39:48
right now we're entering second
half of show you've taken over
2:39:51
my gig. Let's find
2:39:53
John C Dvorak: out nobody else
is doing it. No source. So this
2:39:58
is a podcast called Forbidden
news that has gotten a lot of
2:40:03
attention on the on the Twitter
and some other social networks
2:40:07
and it's just a couple of
blowhards. This guy Oh loony or
2:40:12
Loony, whatever his name is
British guys, and they're
2:40:15
talking about the UN troops are
coming in to take over
2:40:19
everything. Oh, yeah,
2:40:21
Adam Curry: this is always good.
Yeah, the blue helmets are
2:40:23
coming. Yeah.
2:40:24
John C Dvorak: And they're gonna
come in, and they come in, in
2:40:25
United States too. But this is
the British version. It's the
2:40:28
same kind of story that we get
here. But this is a bunch of
2:40:32
Brits talking back and forth
about it. And to listen to this
2:40:36
insanity is just beyond me. So
this UN soldiers on Forbidden
2:40:40
news,
2:40:41
Unknown: you know, we talked
about a lot of things to do with
2:40:43
COVID, and what your experiences
were with all of that, but
2:40:46
you've also been speaking out
about something else that seems
2:40:49
to be growing exponentially
every day. And that is the mass
2:40:55
illegal immigration that's going
on in England, in Wales, in
2:41:00
Scotland, and over in Ireland as
well. I mean, it is quite
2:41:03
literally, off the charts and a
lot of people. A lot of people
2:41:08
say, Look, this isn't normal.
There's something not right.
2:41:11
This isn't just refugees coming
in. These aren't people fleeing
2:41:15
from some kind of war zone.
These are predominantly men,
2:41:18
aged between 25 and 35. Young
fighting age men as my old boss,
2:41:24
Nigel Farage once referred to
them, and I think he's right.
2:41:27
John, what do you think's going
on here, rather,
2:41:29
so I can tell you these are un
soldiers and they will be
2:41:32
deployed by the who, when they
announced the next pandemic
2:41:36
lockdown. That's what's going to
happen. They've been trained by
2:41:39
British soldiers have been
trained by the Black Watch
2:41:42
regiment. They were trained in
them in Antalya in Turkey, and
2:41:45
in the east of Ukraine. They're
predominantly down to Sergeant
2:41:49
ranks there then shipped to
France. They all signed the
2:41:52
Official Secrets Act. Then
they're ferried over and the
2:41:55
idea of them being ferried over
is they're lost at sea. So they
2:41:59
have to be under international
law saved from being lost at sea
2:42:03
and that's why they take the
route they do. The boats are
2:42:06
housed in a home office
compound. And then they're
2:42:10
shipped back to France on to
British Hall his firm lorries
2:42:14
and I could supply you the
details of the reg numbers to
2:42:17
play an unsigned written
lorries, the pallets, the
2:42:21
outboard motors are strapped on
pallets, they go on one lorry,
2:42:24
the boats go on to the other
lorry, and they're sent back to
2:42:28
France for reuse. I've got 11
gigabytes of footage. There's a
2:42:32
guy down there ex military. He's
been using drones and
2:42:35
surveillance on them for a long
time.
2:42:37
Adam Curry: What made you listen
to this? I
2:42:41
John C Dvorak: got into a back
and forth is one of our
2:42:43
producers.
2:42:44
Adam Curry: So it's one of the I
love these emails. Like, this is
2:42:48
great. You got to listen to
this. You got to watch this
2:42:50
three hour rumble video. Yes,
2:42:53
John C Dvorak: always rumble
2:42:54
Adam Curry: and you did it.
2:42:56
John C Dvorak: I did. So
2:42:59
Adam Curry: age men, there it
is, again, military age, man.
2:43:02
Yeah. Same trope. Yeah, this is
2:43:04
John C Dvorak: it. So total
trope, that people that I have
2:43:07
the guts to, to make these kinds
of, you know, they leave one
2:43:10
country and go to another one
way or another. They tends to be
2:43:14
people in a certain age group,
because you're not going to find
2:43:16
90 year old man or kids or
anything in between. So it's
2:43:20
military age men. And so but the
rationale, this is what I have
2:43:25
these clips, it's the rationale
and the delusion that these guys
2:43:31
Express, and I hear it from from
our producers that get into this
2:43:35
too. It's delusional to imagine
that any of these you know this,
2:43:39
I have clips I have. There's a
guy who has been taking movies,
2:43:43
I got a million hours of it. It
was
2:43:45
Adam Curry: the door he was on
Jimmy Dore, it must be real.
2:43:49
Yes,
2:43:49
John C Dvorak: exactly. And so I
so I have the and I consider the
2:43:52
second half of show nuttiness.
Let's go into part two.
2:43:55
Unknown: Just Just to recap,
you've got you've got evidence
2:43:58
that these boats that are coming
in, they're only doing that big,
2:44:03
so to sort of to meet some kind
of or pass through underneath
2:44:06
some kind of radar in terms of
legislation.
2:44:10
If you're lost at sea, they're
obliged to save you. And that's
2:44:14
the idea of them coming over in
small rubber boats. Is they lost
2:44:17
at sea. That's, that's the
maritime law. Yes. So
2:44:21
you're saying that these are not
normal, illegal moves,
2:44:26
if you think about it logically,
and kind of based on common
2:44:30
sense, if you were fleeing war
and tyranny, I don't know about
2:44:34
you, but I would certainly take
my wife and children with me
2:44:36
their most precious, they're my
prized asset. You know, they're
2:44:40
everything to me. If you're
going to war, you go to war with
2:44:43
the lads. And that's these young
men are coming over, they going
2:44:47
to be deployed, they will be
deployed, and people will see
2:44:50
then, you know, and I don't
doubt there will still be some
2:44:53
Muppets that will stand on their
doorsteps, bag and pots and
2:44:55
pans. Do you know, thanking
these young men for helping us
2:44:59
you know, because As initially
there'll be deployed in what's
2:45:02
perceived or conveyed as a
humanitarian role. But
2:45:06
I'm going to tell you something,
I nearly fell off my chair when
2:45:09
I interviewed this young woman,
his name is Nigel McConnell.
2:45:11
He's an Irish political
candidate. And I had an
2:45:15
interview with him a couple of
years ago. And he was telling
2:45:18
me, and I'd been aware of this,
but he was telling me that these
2:45:21
illegal migrants are being
recruited for police, that
2:45:26
they're illegal, right? But
they're going to be given the
2:45:28
the position of police officers
in Ireland, to face out of
2:45:32
people and to vote as well.
2:45:33
Adam Curry: To vote. Oh, my
goodness. You know, if you send
2:45:38
me one of these links, or it's
like a corporate report, and I
2:45:40
don't reply to you as corporate
report, it's because we have
2:45:46
been doing this for 17 years. I
mean, I even got someone the
2:45:51
other day, you clearly aren't
familiar with the cue strategy.
2:45:57
John C Dvorak: I mean, that's,
that's still not a brown. Is it?
2:45:59
You?
2:45:59
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. And there
was, um, there was because I was
2:46:03
talking about Trump, like, you
know, he hired all these
2:46:06
horrible people. He's good at
firing, but he's not good at
2:46:10
hiring. No, no, no, you'd
understand. That's the cue
2:46:13
strategy. Keep your enemies even
closer. Oh, okay. Please, this
2:46:20
is JFK Jr. is going to be his
vice presidential. If JFK Jr. is
2:46:25
his vice presidential pick, and
JFK Jr. comes back from the
2:46:30
dead. I will eat my boot.
2:46:33
John C Dvorak: Well, that's a
that's a bet you. That's yeah,
2:46:36
you can make these kinds of
assertions because you're the
2:46:39
chances are zero in hell
2:46:41
Adam Curry: and Fauci is Mama's
Mother Teresa. I mean, it's
2:46:44
crazy.
2:46:47
John C Dvorak: I liked that one.
Yeah. Just
2:46:49
Adam Curry: look at her face.
And look. Okay, so here's where
2:46:51
it is the same blue and white
colors from Epstein's islands.
2:46:55
Uh huh.
2:46:58
John C Dvorak: So here we go
with the part three and this the
2:47:00
end on
2:47:01
Unknown: to vote. That's what
nearly made me fell off my
2:47:03
chair. Because he said they just
have to be proved that they've
2:47:07
been living there in any
capacity can be a tent for the
2:47:11
last six months. Yes. And they
will then be allowed to stand in
2:47:15
the elections were elected.
2:47:18
Yes, yes. And your legal
migrants do you want people fine
2:47:22
facilitating that? You know what
happened to Shin Fein
2:47:27
one time Shin fit a lot of
people in America who they still
2:47:29
don't haven't woken up to this
yet. Yeah. One time Shin Fein
2:47:33
was seen as the political arm of
the IRA. Yes, they were fighting
2:47:36
for Irish Republic ism, or
whatever.
2:47:39
They were fighting for Ireland.
And now look, Ireland. Now let's
2:47:42
destroy an island.
2:47:45
John C Dvorak: It goes on. Yeah,
2:47:47
Adam Curry: I can imagine. Well,
you're very brave. You're very
2:47:49
brave to have sat through all
that. A podcast. I know. I have
2:47:55
my hopes still high on podcast,
but especially Do you know that?
2:48:00
Have you been following just as
the last little bit here that
2:48:03
it's, you know, quote unquote,
Soros. I'm not even sure who
2:48:06
that is anymore. But the Soros
organization has been getting
2:48:12
all kinds of waivers from the
FCC to buy Odyssey the Odyssey
2:48:17
is probably kind of next to I
heart one of the biggest radio
2:48:20
conglomerates and they got
everybody on there like Oh,
2:48:25
Kennedy and Mark Levine and all
these guys and so everyone's
2:48:30
like oh, Soros is he's going to
take or he's going to brew is
2:48:33
going to get rid of of
conservative voices. Do you not
2:48:40
been following them?
2:48:41
John C Dvorak: No, I have not
even heard any of this until you
2:48:44
right now.
2:48:45
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. No, it's
It's him. FCC waivers boost
2:48:49
Soros bid to further silence the
right with Odyssey takeover. And
2:48:54
so Odyssey has a B flat so they
already put forward they were
2:49:00
already shareholder. Video The
Odyssey filed for bankruptcy and
2:49:03
so they put $400 million in the
Soros organization. Weekly the
2:49:08
network reaches 165 million
listeners. Conservative hosts
2:49:13
including Sean Hannity, Dana
lash lash, lash lash, loose
2:49:16
lash, Mark Levin, blush, Glenn
Beck, and Erik Erikson. So the
2:49:23
thinking here is that he's going
to take them all off the air and
2:49:27
put on some lefties. And I'm
like, Do you have any idea that
2:49:32
radio is dead? That median age
of the radio listener is 75.
2:49:38
This is this is over? No,
podcasting is the future with
2:49:44
these guys from Ireland.
2:49:46
John C Dvorak: That's what,
that's what the future's grim.
2:49:50
However
2:49:50
Unknown: you look at it. I'm
gonna show my school by donate
2:49:54

people who could do that. Oh,

2:57:44
Adam Curry: you got any ISOs?
2:57:46
John C Dvorak: I do I have too
much you got? I got cannot I
2:57:52
cannot do it again. Okay. And
then I got Trump saying not too
2:57:59
good. That's too good.
2:58:03
Adam Curry: I have let me see. I
think I'm over. I sewed
2:58:07
actually, here's the Arnold. He
was boring. No, or I hated every
2:58:14
minute of it. Come on.
2:58:17
John C Dvorak: That's a good
one. That's pretty good.
2:58:20
Adam Curry: Also have How did
this get in here? That got in
2:58:27
there that shouldn't be there.
That, by the way, is a woman
2:58:30
who's bringing America back
together. There's this one
2:58:39
Unknown: and this one, yes.
That's right. That's true. Yeah.
2:58:46
John C Dvorak: Well, I don't
like to use negative ones. But
2:58:48
from Schwarzenegger. I like the
I hated every minute of it.
2:58:52
Unknown: I hated every minute of
it.
2:58:54
John C Dvorak: That's kind of
clear, crisp. I think we should
2:58:57
you know, we have our mixed
feelings about that guy.
2:59:00
Adam Curry: And for your
consideration of the day. That's
2:59:06
right. Everybody has time once
again for the tip of the day.
2:59:09
Jhansi Dvorak, what do you have
in store for us?
2:59:14
John C Dvorak: So you know, one
of the things about the shows I
2:59:18
uncomfortable with Oh, is there
are ragging on vaccines on the
2:59:23
backs on the COVID shot, the
mRNA shot uncomfortable
2:59:28
Adam Curry: with that. I'm
2:59:29
John C Dvorak: uncomfortable
knowing that at least half of
2:59:31
our audience has taken this
shot.
2:59:34
Adam Curry: Okay, fair enough.
2:59:35
John C Dvorak: So I have so
Peter McCullough has a protocol
2:59:40
for ridding yourself of the
after effects of the shot. Yes,
2:59:44
yeah, we've kind of discussed
what we've never fully
2:59:46
discussed. So I decided just to
link to it. And my tip is for
2:59:50
people who had the shot to go
look at the protocol and see
2:59:53
what it is and read about it and
it's easy to get to it's it's on
2:59:59
the web. It's under, you could
type this into check to make
3:00:01
sure it works. Tiny. You are
l.com. We all know that
3:00:06
tinyurl.com/no-agenda No hyphen
agenda. Oh,
3:00:14
Adam Curry: excellent. Now you
just you produce something.
3:00:16
That's good.
3:00:17
John C Dvorak: I pray. Yes, I
did. Nice. And so go there and
3:00:21
read that. And then if you you
know, this way, I think I think
3:00:27
it's a I think the protocol
sounds possible. It sounds like
3:00:30
a winner. McCullough is the one
who developed it. And I think it
3:00:34
might be something people should
be aware of.
3:00:37
Adam Curry: I like this idea.
And so it's tiny URL, or no tiny
3:00:41
What is it again?
3:00:42
John C Dvorak: tinyurl.com/no.
Agenda? No, dash agenda? No, no
3:00:49
data agenda. Okay. Yeah, I gave
the regular no agendas at work.
3:00:53
I'd like that. Because
3:00:55
Adam Curry: I know people here
in town who were forced to take
3:00:59
the vaccine. And they are they
have done this protocol. There's
3:01:03
several functional medicine
doctors here in town who are
3:01:07
administering this protocol. And
from what I hear with great
3:01:09
success, whatever that means
people are doing it. And I think
3:01:12
that's a great idea.
3:01:14
John C Dvorak: And it's all it's
public domain products is not
3:01:17
like you have to go get a
prescription. And
3:01:20
Adam Curry: I've also heard
people just taking ivermectin
3:01:22
just on a, like a regular basis.
Yeah.
3:01:26
John C Dvorak: for the heck of
it. I think just the color and
3:01:30
this protocol, I think is
probably better. Yeah. Unless
3:01:33
you have worms, then you
ivermectin do the trick.
3:01:38
Unknown: Good news. It's good
advice. John sees two.
3:01:45
Adam Curry: Beautiful, beautiful

3:03:15
Unknown: There is so much
misinformation disinformation as
3:03:18
we've been caught talking about
the president wandering
3:03:21
big fakes videos. These videos
are effective because they are
3:03:26
difficult
3:03:27
to fix for reasons the President
wandering
3:03:31
means John Pierre and others are
calling these cheap fakes cheap
3:03:36
fakes. We're hearing about some
called shoe fakes,
3:03:39
the president wandering, even
calling it's literally
3:03:43
John C Dvorak: describing what
CBS News has been doing for
3:03:45
years. Where was the
3:03:51
Unknown: president wandering?
3:03:53
John C Dvorak: This is so
misleading.
3:03:58
Unknown: Video, however, we have
seen last few months the videos
3:04:02
targeting Biden are getting a
lot more traction online. This
3:04:05
is trying to last us wandering
off.
3:04:14
But what about Biden who
believes he is fit to lead us?
3:04:16
That's a really good question.
Oh, absolutely.
3:04:19
People have been watching. They
express concerns about your
3:04:22
mental immunity.
3:04:23
They say that you are too old.
Come on, man. Want to go with
3:04:29
the evidence and the truth, the
very public and obvious
3:04:32
cognitive decline of the US
President? The President is
3:04:36
walking away and there was not
one thing funny about it. Oh,
3:04:41
absolutely. Because I know what
mental illness looks like. I'm
3:04:47
serious. There is no shame in
being unwell. Dr. Joe Biden.
3:04:54
Where are you? What mental
illness look? I watched a man
3:04:59
completely void of all awareness
that is your judgment aimlessly
3:05:04
wandering away. Oh, absolutely
what mental illness looks like.
3:05:09
We've entered a new era series.
There is no way in hell Joe
3:05:14
Biden is running America.
3:05:17
Judgment. We want to go with the
evidence and the truth.
3:05:20
The claim to this tragedy lies
squarely on the people around
3:05:24
him. But what about but I do
believe he is fit to lead us?
3:05:27
No, I'm serious. Mental illness
look aimlessly wandering away
3:05:32
the very public and obvious
cognitive decline for US
3:05:36
president that
3:05:37
is your judgment. There is
3:05:39
no shame in being unwell. The
President is seen walking away
3:05:45
No, I'm serious. Because I know
what mental illness looks like.
3:05:53
Chill Dr. Jill Biden where are
you?
3:05:57
That's a really great question.
3:05:59
No, I'm serious
3:06:00
what mental illness looks like
and there is not one thing funny
3:06:06
about it.
3:06:06
Oh absolutely. Come on.
3:06:10
Because I know what mental
illness looks like
3:06:24
at one of the most
3:06:42
Adam Curry: I love this whole
topic
3:06:49
Unknown: they are here to face
video for jobs. Earlier
3:06:55
obviously the fact checkers have
repeatedly caught on pushing
3:07:01
misinformation disinformation.
Bias is just something coming
3:07:07
from Europe your part of the
world calling them and she makes
3:07:10
misinformation.
3:07:17
misinformation. Oh no. Really
believing what was being said
3:07:24
and what was the scene
3:07:32
what they are
3:07:38
borak.org/n A I hated every
minute of it.
