Adam Curry: What a great time to
be doing a podcast. Adam curry,
John C. Devora. February 11 2020
for the show award winning given
nation media assassination
episode 1633.
Unknown: This is no agenda that
Adam Curry: 25th is back on deck
and we're broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas hill
country here in FEMA Region
number six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry. And
John C Dvorak: from Northern
Silicon Valley we finally
realize it Super Bowl Sunday.
I'm John Cena borax
Adam Curry: kill. Yeah, sports
balls. Baby. We're all jacked
and happy about sports Bo.
John C Dvorak: And I will the
last two weeks in
Adam Curry: sports ball.
John C Dvorak: Yes. All these
sports ball talk shows is all
they do. I mean, I don't know
how much you can talk about
something to such an extreme.
Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak,
yak, yak, yak.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Before we
continue, I want to warn
everybody. Several times during
today's broadcast, we will be
switching away to cutaways of
Taylor Swift. Oh,
Unknown: we all need to calm
down and I'm not talking about
the podcast I'm talking about
having Taylor Swift here.
Adam Curry: There you go. Just
once in a while. We gotta cut to
Taylor Swift. So we all have
seen that she's here.
John C Dvorak: I think she's
going to come out on stage at
the halftime show.
Adam Curry: Did this okay. Calm
down. She's not going to come
out on Do you think she's going
to come out on stage of the
halftime show with Usher Sure.
Naked. I wanted to give us a
little props. I got a note from
our boots on the ground. That M
five M news quote quote, quote
news outlets were pitching NORAD
to have Taylor's F Taylor
Swift's playing tract. They
called the Public Affairs
Office. They really wanted this
just like Santa Claus. And they
all said knew. But we were
right. That is the it's the
extent of peak swiftness.
John C Dvorak: Well, the problem
is, of course, is that she
actually landed yesterday
morning. Is this true?
Adam Curry: I thought she had a
concert just to jump on the
plane and visit day
John C Dvorak: ahead. And so
she's already been back
yesterday morning and she landed
in LA in the morning and she got
to Florida yesterday.
Adam Curry: This is disappointed
ruined. Did
John C Dvorak: that ruin the
idea for NORAD? Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's
disappointing. I thought we're
gonna get a tracking you know,
have her her cutaways of her
convoy coming from the airport.
Will she make it in time? Will
she make it in time?
John C Dvorak: Oh, brother.
Yeah, that's what you would that
would be ideal. If we were
producing it. We don't fake
that. You know, it could still
happen. We
Adam Curry: do that we would do
that. Right away.
John C Dvorak: They could fake
it the way they did. The last
good news clip from last show I
got a lot of flack from
Adam Curry: Oh, I even Yes, yes,
people were very disappointed by
they felt bad
John C Dvorak: about the deed
being disappointed but including
him. Oh, we have a Milwaukee
Police guy who did a lot of
research on this and any
research found the city
everything all the details. It
was it was a legit story. But my
commentary and I never said it
wasn't a legit story. I said
that it was sweetened with a lot
of staged clips within it, which
is what NBC does they I think
they do some of the poorest news
reporting.
Adam Curry: I think I don't
think you covered your tracks
very well. There was no I didn't
I forgot it. You didn't use the
there's no evidence. I mean, you
did not do a great job.
John C Dvorak: But the fact is
that there's no way that they
some of those clips, they could
have even had them so it's all
right. Everybody loves you.
Especially a little girl in the
backseat go Where's daddy? Where
did they get that
Adam Curry: recording on? It's
okay. The thing that I was
amazed by is that so many people
listen all the way to the end of
the show. Like this is
John C Dvorak: good. All the
cops do for sure this is this is
good. We love cops in their car.
patrol of course
Adam Curry: over what else
you're gonna do. Listen to the
show. Of course. You know it.
All right. My assessment inside
attack 25th amendment on deck.
Biden realizes he's in trouble.
John C Dvorak: Biden doesn't
realize anything now.
Adam Curry: Did you watch the
whole press conference from
beginning to end? Yes.
John C Dvorak: I watched the
whole thing. What the whole
seven minutes 17
Adam Curry: was 17 minutes.
Okay. And the way the news cut
this up, they're in on it,
obviously. Because yeah, he made
a mistake about CC okay. I mean,
obviously, that's not your top
level performance. Is
presidential material, but the
way they were cutting it? Well,
I have some clips obviously, the
way they were cutting in some of
his responses to make it look
even worse. Yeah. T he came out
he was ready to defend his
stance. He fumbled a few things,
but they turn this into he's a
bumbling idiot. And his. Okay,
let's start off the main talking
point, angry and defiant
president. Second,
John C Dvorak: you're just going
right into the store without
giving any background for anyone
who might be listening overseas
or anyplace else about what
we're talking about. Oh, but the
background but
Adam Curry: everybody
understands Taylor Swift. Biden
came out? Well, it's in the
report. The background is in the
report
John C Dvorak: go on and did
describe dude, a report came out
Adam Curry: here but it's in
this it's in this clip. That is
John C Dvorak: all covered in
the clip templates. Yes,
Adam Curry: thank you for
slowing the pace down President
Biden
Unknown: angry and defiant. My
memory is fine. In a hastily
called evening news conference.
The President responding
directly to Special Counsel
Robert hars reports on his
handling of classified documents
on the document that included a
blistering assessment of the 81
year old age and what the report
has diminished faculties in
advancing age. The President
slamming hers assessment that he
did not remember when his son
Beau died. How
the hell dare he raised? I don't
need anyone. I don't need anyone
to remind me when he passed
away.
The remarks coming hours after
the special counsel said our
investigation uncovered evidence
that President Biden willfully
retained to disclose classified
materials after his vice
presidency, but said no criminal
charges are warranted in this
matter. Adding to the jury would
likely see the President as a
sympathetic well meaning an
elderly man with a poor memory.
I will mean I'm an older man and
I know what the hell I'm doing
moment
Adam Curry: this the all have
the news reports, all the
packages had this where where
they say oh is an elderly man
with poor memory. And they cut
him saying I'm an elderly man
with poor memory. But in
context, he was complaining
about that one sentence this
right for people. And most
people, of course, don't watch
the full thing. It really sounds
like oh my god, that guy is
toast, not saying he isn't. But
it wasn't all
Unknown: that bad. That IQ well
meaning an elderly man with a
poor memory.
Well, meaning I'm an older man.
And I know what the hell I'm
doing Moments
later, the president confusing
Mexico and Egypt. When talking
about the crisis in Gaza,
the president of Mexico CC did
not want to open up the gate to
allow humanitarian material to
get in.
Adam Curry: And the other thing,
and I'm not defending Biden, but
I just want to point out that
the news is in on this the M
five M because it wasn't Moments
later, he had actually walked
off. And they came back to
answer some questions about
Israel. So it was separated by
many minutes. I believe you have
some clips about the documents
themselves, which I'd like to
give you some space to talk
about. And then I would like to
go back to the M five M analysis
and packages.
John C Dvorak: Well, first of
all, I have a couple of clips
here I want to play. That's what
I suggested. I want to play the
gaff that I thought was the bad
one, which was came right at the
beginning. When he's all upset
about his night remembering
today his son died, which I
believe is probably true, and
probably documented. But is is
the gaffe that he made right
then when he when he came out to
deny it, which is this one which
I still think is the was the big
gaffe of the day not to Mexico,
one minutes, the Biden, Our Lady
of gaff,
Unknown: I know there's some
attention paid to some language
and report about my recollection
of events. There's even
referenced that I don't remember
when my son died. How in the
hell dare he raised that?
Frankly, when I was asked the
question, I thought to myself,
wasn't any of their damn
business. Let me tell you
something. Somebody would come
in and I were since the day he
died. Every single day the
rosary he got from Our Lady of
this. Every Memorial Day we hold
a service remember him attended
by friends and family and the
people will love to?
John C Dvorak: Well, yes, Our
Lady of and he like couldn't
remember where it was now since
you Guadalupe, by the way for
anything
Adam Curry: since you bring that
up. When he came back to respond
to
John C Dvorak: I guess,
screaming Reporter Well,
Adam Curry: they were all they
were all screaming reporters. He
had he said something under his
breath and then he came What I
thought was quite the
revelation. He wants to talk
about the hostage negotiation.
And he says something like,
yeah, how do I, how do I, how do
I say this without without
revealing anything? So there's
some plan.
Unknown: So that's what we're
pushing around. I'm pushing very
hard now to deal with this
hostage ceasefire. Because, as
you know, I've been working
tirelessly in this deal. How can
I say this?
Adam Curry: How can I say this
without reveal? If I was, if I
was in his niche, if I was asked
him, I'd be very worried about
this guy to
Unknown: lead to a sustained
pause in the fighting in the
actions taking place in the Gaza
Strip. And because I think if we
can get the delay for that
initial delay, I think that we
wouldn't be able to extend that
so that we could increase the
prospect that this fighting in
Gaza changes. There's also other
negotiations, that listen
Adam Curry: to what he says now
he talks about just before
October 7,
Unknown: you may recall, in the
very beginning, right after,
right before Hamas attacked
right after right before I was
in contact with the Saudis and
others, to work out a deal where
they would recognize Israel's
right to exist, let them make
them part of the Middle East and
recognize them fully, in return
for certain things that the
United States would commit to
do. The commitments that we were
proposed to do related to to two
items, I'm not going to go in
detail, but one of them was to
deal with the protection against
their arch enemy to the
northwest. And northeast, I
should say,
Adam Curry: Who's the arch enemy
to the north, east Northwest
northeast? Was he talking about
John C Dvorak: Saudi Arabia? The
second one
Unknown: is by providing
ammunition and material for them
to defend themselves.
Coincidentally, that's the
timeframe with this broke out. I
have no proof what I'm about to
say. But it's not unreasonable
to expect that the Hamas
understood what was about to
take place and wanted to break
it up before it happened.
Adam Curry: So he's responsible?
John C Dvorak: No, we, I think
this was actually discussed
before when Hamas did their
thing on the seventh. Biden was
in the process of, of closing
out the Abraham accords that
were set up by Trump to
normalize relationships between
Israel and Saudi Arabia, which
Rouhani is
Adam Curry: what he but he
mentioned ammunitions, he was
going to give him munitions that
was not in the initial analysis.
John C Dvorak: No, I don't
remember that either. So
clearly,
Adam Curry: the guy's no good.
But you know, as the focus,
memory is quite astounding.
John C Dvorak: So he, so today's
bonus clip is coming up. I was
watching Saki this morning. So
she's defending him and slamming
a pen into the ground. And she's
she made a big point and in my
taking, like five Trump clips,
right, well, everybody makes
mistakes. And she sews shows
clump, saying Sioux City instead
of Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
Has Trump saying and Biden is
gonna start World War Two.
Adam Curry: So hey, he's not the
only crazy old coot. So
John C Dvorak: she goes on and
on about the two of them are
both the same. And you know,
even though Trump's gaffes are
hardly at the same league as
Biden's, but she goes on to
claim that the audience she says
this, and I'm thinking people
make gaffes all the time. But
they usually don't have a staff
of people. directors, producers,
writers, people in the control
room where she says the
following 81
Unknown: year old Joe Biden is
running against 77 year old not
a sprite, Donald Trump. Whoever
you may wish was running. It is
time to settle into the fact
that there will be two baby
boomers competing for the White
House in November. That is
what's happening.
Adam Curry: Now what did she
say? 87 year old Biden? No,
John C Dvorak: she said 82 of
worry one or 82 year old white
7781
Unknown: year old Joe Biden is
running against 77 year old not
a sprite Donald Trump not a
sprite
John C Dvorak: not a sprite?
Well, you should know that.
That's not to get okay.
Unknown: Whatever you may wish
was running. It is time to
settle into the fact that there
will be two baby boomers
competing for the White House in
November. That is what's
happening.
John C Dvorak: Baby Boom get it
either, but that's why you need
a staff. If you have a staff of
people you wouldn't this
wouldn't happen. Biden is not a
baby bomber.
Adam Curry: He's from the great
generation.
John C Dvorak: He's from the
silent generation one
generation. The jet great
generation was the ones that
were in World War
Adam Curry: One to.
John C Dvorak: The point is, is
that Biden is is the only Silent
Generation president we've ever
had. Because there are a bunch
of guys that were you know, they
weren't had their parents were
probably not at war. They're
home having babies. And that's
it. He's not a baby boomer. The
baby boomers get blamed for
everything. All the silent
generation screw ups and there's
tons of them, like Biden always
pushed into the baby boomer
group and they're not they're
not baby boomers. He's not a
baby boomer. The baby boomers,
the oldest baby boomers are 77
Max, after they're born in 1946.
Biden was born in the 30s.
Adam Curry: Fire the entire
staff and Psaki get rid of him
for this horrible gaffe. I've
John C Dvorak: just it's the
point is if you're going to go
on and on and on about making
gaffes and point out that Trump
makes gaffe, and he makes give
that you don't make a gaffe.
Adam Curry: It's better for him
that way. I am in total
agreement. Let me let me lead
you into your document. Clips.
Because CBS, I think CBS was
really they were cutting they
were cutting on the on the
president,
Unknown: let's start with
President Biden having to defend
his mental capabilities
described in the report is
sympathetic, elderly man who is
well meaning that is not how you
want your president to be
perceived, no,
but he could that he leaned
right into it last night and
said, I am a sympathetic elderly
man who has a good memory. And
that
Adam Curry: that's not what he
said. He just repeated what the
report said thing
Unknown: he's got to convince
and prove to voters over the
next several months. I mean,
yesterday, in many ways,
encapsulated with so many voters
tell us they're so worried about
two guys, one who has to spend a
lot of time this year in a
courtroom, another who is
perceived as a nice guy, but
perhaps too old and unable to do
the job. And at this point, they
gotta figure out what these guys
do. I prefer to
girl's point perception is
reality, though. When it comes
to the voters, this is an
important year. And when he has
these moments for Tony, I mean,
this is this is something that
is glaring moving into this
year, and
it'd be holding a press
conference about your mental
acuity and to mix up Egypt and
Mexico. Mexico is not even in
the conversation. No questions
about Mexico. It's not the topic
of the press conference. It's
not a good look.
No. And it was all about the
boat in the southern border of
Gaza. So he went to Mexico, who
among us hasn't screwed up those
two countries before but we're
not President. Yeah. And that's
and that's the real concern that
they have at the White House
that they're going to have to
Adam Curry: do so. So my entire
analysis here, the media is not
defending Biden at all. They're
doubling down, they're cutting
in bits, where he was just
repeating what was in the report
and making it sound as if he
said that last night as an idiot
25th amendment on Deck. This is
to make him look impeachable.
Because, you know, we only need
a couple of people to jump in.
No,
John C Dvorak: no, when he did,
as far as I know, and you can
correct me if I if you know, I'm
wrong. The 25th amendment has to
be initiated by the Vice
Presidents all in with bias.
Okay, you want to I came out and
she's made big statements. Sharp
is attack.
Adam Curry: No, no, I disagree
with you. I think this is an
attack by Kamala or she's in on
it. She had a setup question.
She was doing a whole different
Spiel there. The Vice President,
I think it was at the Naval
Academy. It was about something
completely different than I'm
talking about to sit down. I'm
talking about the immediate
reaction which got most of the
press the
John C Dvorak: immediate
reaction I saw they got most of
the presses were sitting down
saying the facts are wrong Biden
sharpest attack.
Adam Curry: I want you to listen
to this and see if I can change
your mind set up question by
some rookie reporter who she
thanks profusely in the
beginning and at the end, and
then she goes on to compare
herself to the President as a
wartime president.
Unknown: I'm glad you asked.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you asked
as we agreed to beforehand.
Unknown: Listen, listen, I have
been privileged and proud to
serve as Vice President of the
United States with Joe Biden is
President United States. And
what I saw that report last
night, I believe, is as a former
prosecutor In the comments that
were made by that prosecutor,
gratuitous, inaccurate and
inappropriate, October 7, Israel
experienced a horrific attack.
And I will tell you, we got the
calls. The President and myself,
we were there. The other hours.
After that occurred together. It
was an intense moment for the
Commander in Chief of the United
States of America. And I was in
almost every meeting with the
President, I can take over
anytime I'm your war lady. In
the hours and days that
followed. Countless hours with
the Secretary of Defense, the
Secretary of State, the heads of
our intelligence community, I
was there President was in front
of and on top of it all, on top
of asking questions, and
requiring that America's
military and intelligence
community and diplomatic
community would figure out and
know how many people were dead.
So
Adam Curry: she goes on and on
and on to talk about how she was
there. She was in every single
meeting, she was there with the
heads of state with everyone
from intelligence, all the
military guys, clearly,
politically motivated, but it
was politically motivated,
circuitous, I'm a prosecutor. So
Unknown: I will say that when it
comes to the role and
responsibility of a prosecutor
in a situation like that, we
should expect that there would
be a higher level of integrity
than what we saw. Thank you.
Adam Curry: Thank you for the
question. Thank you for the
question. telling you my spidey
sense, says she's in on this and
she will be the first to say I'm
sorry, Joe, you just gotta
John C Dvorak: go. Well, that
would be entertaining. Yes, of
course. I'm actually be a first
I mean, I liked the fact that we
got a lot of first coming up
here. We have the, you know,
first indictment for glory the
second ever in history of of a
cabinet member with Mayorkas.
Yeah. And then we have the first
it's only happened once before
it was I think in the 1800s,
where you had a president that
was president than voted out and
then voted back in that would be
another one. Yeah, it'd be a
first intended use of the 25th
amendment. I was I don't have
the clip. But I was quite
disappointed. I should have gone
back and scratch scrounge up the
clip. But I was quite
disappointed in Dershowitz going
on about the 25th amendment
saying the reason that the
framers put the 25th Amendment
in place, which is his quote,
and then he went on with an
explanation for how it works. I
was quite disappointed in that
because it wasn't the framers
who, you know, George
Washington, Hamilton's it was
his amendment. These are men,
the 25th Amendment showed up
after Woodrow Wilson. Yeah,
hardly a framers?
Adam Curry: Well, unless so
there's a couple things that a
couple theories we've had, it
can also, first of all, by
invoking the 25th Amendment, we
can get him off the stage and
then we can bring in other
people to run. So it is not
necessarily that Kamala is going
to be president, but she could
be used to bring in Newsom, or
obviously there's big, big mic,
just to get him out of the way
or, or to ensure ensure and this
is our true theory to ensure
Trump is going to win. We want
Trump to win so that he can take
all the heat for all the crap
that's going to happen. Clean it
up.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I can't get
off that thesis completely. I
also can't completely get off
the thesis that we may be
dealing with a Biden who's
actually doing the bit of
Vincent the chin Gigante,
they've had the one of the mob
bosses who played like, played
himself as an idiot peeing in
his pants walking around
Greenwich Village,
Adam Curry: I will tell you the
way he conducted himself
watching from beginning to end,
he was more like that. He was
more like a Dante, knowing what
he was doing. Yeah, he's
fumbling a bit. But, but it felt
more like that. And like he was
under attack from the inside.
Like, holy crap, I gotta get out
there.
John C Dvorak: I mean, you know,
it's funny. So I watched this
whole thing, but I watched and
then I watched the after
discussion with Peter Doocy.
Yeah, on Fox, who was
immediately after the press
conference, Ducey was was
talking to one of them I forgot
which one of the posts on one of
the shows when that when when
Biden can came out and made that
press, impromptu press
conference. And deuces
explanation of the scene was so
alien to what the host that what
I saw and what you saw what
everybody saw? Ducey says it
seemed like a cacophony because
you had all these reporters
screaming at him from all the
networks. And Ducey says it when
you were there, Biden had
handled himself well, he thought
he has a nasty remark toward
Ducey about his memory
remembering that he wouldn't
have talked to him. Yeah, it was
a kind of a try to make it a
joke and you couldn't do it.
Ducey comes out and says, No, it
wasn't like that at all. It was
pretty. It was pretty calm and
Adam Curry: collected. This is
what this is what I'm saying had
John C Dvorak: to be miked
funny.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, the
miking is out is always bad. And
then never really good with
that.
John C Dvorak: Does it sound
like a bunch of screaming
reporters? And Ben, they had
close ups of Biden looking left
and right. Like he was confused.
Yep. That she says that he
didn't feel that he was actually
there. I'm
Adam Curry: agreeing with Ducey.
It didn't feel like the way the
packages have been had been put
together. It just you know, that
guy came out first was the same
height as Biden. He had
paperwork guy comes back, he's
crossing some stuff off. Biden
is opening up, he's he sees what
he's what he's got. He's, he's
he knows what to read. He's
still an old guy. So he flubbed
some some obvious things. I'm
not saying he, he's not worthy
of being 25th amendment ized.
But he was a lot calmer, like
the Gonti theory comes much more
into play here. So I wish we had
that clip from Ducey. I agree it
was he was being railroaded and
I think he knew it. That's why
I'm thinking Kamala has that's
the only way yeah, if you want
to do the 25th Amendment, you
have to go through Kamala and
the majority of the of the
cabinet. But then they have a
plan. This there's there's a
plan afoot. Biden doesn't want
to leave. For sure.
John C Dvorak: No, definitely
not. Here's
Adam Curry: the 40 seconds about
the special investigation.
Unknown: So the question, I
think the question for our
viewers for the American people.
Is, is Robert, her this special
prosecutor, special counsel? Is
he a political hack? Or did he
see something in his five hour
interview that he thought was so
significant, he
needed to describe
it. He is a former Republican
Justice Department official,
which is appointed Biden's
allies will continue to make in
the coming weeks. This was
somebody who has come from a
partisan or political background
and was trying to come up with
something they anticipated it
would be a scathing report. I
don't think they anticipated
this personal of a call out
there in his behavior. So much.
So the special counsel's office
went back to him and said, Could
you please remove that you've
overstepped here? Yeah. As a
prosecutor, that's not fair.
Adam Curry: I mean, this guy has
spoke written all over him. He
was top aide to Rod Rosenstein.
He was liaison to Special
Counsel Muller for the
investigation of the Russia
interference. Yeah, Trump
nominated him. But Merrick
Garland is in charge of him. I
mean, Merrick Garland. Come on
Merrick Garland. Let this guy do
this. None of that makes no
sense.
John C Dvorak: Though, that I
think is a point on your favor.
In the insofar as this is a
palace plot or whatever your
stockpile, yes, a palace coup,
the palace palace coup, a palace
coup is. So here we got the
Biden ducks analysis. This is
from NTD. I've got to four
clips. But the two of the clips
are about Russia. It's just
changes. They change the topic
on me. But it actually becomes
more interesting.
Unknown: President Biden has
addressed the Special Counsel
report on his handling of
classified documents. Joining us
now to explore the report as
well as Biden's response we have
investigative journalist Jeff
Carlson. He's also the co host
of truth over news on Epic TV. I
want to start with Biden's
documents case where a hers 350
Plus page report confirms that
Biden committed multiple crimes
and possessing that material,
saying that our Commander in
Chief quote risks serious damage
to America's national security
that included exposing
identities of clandestine CIA
officers and some of the most
sensitive of America's foreign
agents abroad. But he added that
Biden won't be prosecuted
because he's too mentally
unsound to face a trial. What
did you make of this report?
Well, there's two sides to the
report effectively, right.
There's the body of the report
the evidence that's masked, and
then there's the conclusion and
the report itself. I mean, make
money you know, and make no
mistake, it is very damning. It
provides great detail as to what
Biden did. It even covers a
little Nolan's Don't worry that
goes all the way back to 21.
When documents were at the Biden
Pen Center that walks through
the entirety of that it makes
very clear that, you know, Biden
should have been prosecuted
except for the conclusion, and
that is that Biden is not
mentally competent to be
prosecuted. And it's those
statements that are causing a
firestorm for everybody right
now.
On that note, following this
report, Biden gave a surprise
address to the nation now one
exchange that came up with this.
President Biden,
something that special counsel
said in his report, is that one
of the reasons you are not in
charge is because in his
description, you are a well
meaning elderly man with a poor
memory.
I will mean, I'm an older man,
and I know what the hell I'm
doing. I've been President, I
put this country back on its
feet.
Is your memory. And can you
continue as president?
My memory is so bad, I let you
speak.
Adam Curry: Hold on, I just had
another thought. It is entirely
possible that the M five M has
been instructed to focus only on
the memory and not on the
report, because the report is
indeed very damning. How about
that?
John C Dvorak: Oh, I like that
one. Because because I'm
thinking back on what was
reported, they are concentrating
on this. And they're downplaying
the report, the report itself,
Adam Curry: which is 300 pages
of incredible Yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: got he's giving
away
Adam Curry: doing it after he
was VP. Right. So it's possible
that all of this is just to
focus on that. And as we know,
Fox News is run by Democrats. So
here Ducey focus on this, and
the President had a punch line
for him. Yeah, which I'm not
thinking was on the history of
John C Dvorak: comedy was forced
to liberate. Well, that's
Adam Curry: what I'm thinking it
might have been written like,
you know, that's what I'm
thinking now. All of a sudden,
that's very possible.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there, I
think that that actually might
be the answer.
Adam Curry: Well, you know, if
you don't mind me interrupting
for a second, your clip, Meet
the Press. Kristen, for some
reason need to bring in chip
Todd, chug, chug, hurry, what's
his name? Chug, chug, hurry.
And, and I think he has in this
clip, I think he has, you know,
the only plan the only thing
that they can do,
Unknown: let's talk about the
politics of this. Some of the
language in this report is just
damning. You can't get around it
an elderly man with a poor
memory. He's in the fight of his
political life. I
Adam Curry: love this. This.
This is this may be what's going
on, John, the report is damning.
He's an elderly man. How about
giving up CIA assets? Well,
Unknown: and it's also when is
it coming? Right? It's coming on
the heels of just like more of
the senators. He's accumulating
this this sort of a narrative
that is the classic death by
1000 cuts, right? You know, the,
the coal and the Helmut Kohl and
the Francoise miter on, and it's
these, these tiny little things,
and every moment, of course,
getting amplified by the right
wing noise machine. And it
certainly does. You're seeing
with this in this in this
report. There's an easy way,
though, for the White House to
basically make this report
pointless about his memory,
which is what I'm out there.
Yeah, let's see them out there
all the time. The easiest way to
get rid of this storyline is to
get them out there. Oh,
Adam Curry: yes. Get them out
there. This report, the report
is only damning because he's,
you know what, it all comes
together. Put that hey, this is
Merrick Garland, who listen to
her? Listen to me, I see all
these issues we've got going on
here, put something in there
that makes him look like an old
turd. And we'll focus everybody
on that. There's nothing about
the report itself. You're
John C Dvorak: preoccupied with
insult?
Adam Curry: And Chip, Chuck is
even saying oh, the right wing
noise machine will focus on
that, like focus on that focus
on that focus on that. And I
guarantee you the info Mavericks
will be focusing on that.
Unknown: Oh, focus? Yes, yes,
this
Adam Curry: is it. Let's go back
to the document itself. I'm glad
you have these clips.
Unknown: What's your reaction to
this exchange? Well,
I mean, first of all, you have
to consider the fact that they
felt compelled that they had to
do this press conference in the
first place. In other words,
they recognize that this report
was indeed that bad on both
sides of it, both on terms of
the evidence and in terms of
their conclusion. But think
about it this way. Biden is
either too senile to be
prosecuted, or he should be
prosecuted. Biden is either, you
know, not competent to stand
trial. But conversely, is he
competent to be president? I
mean, these are the very real
questions that determine a
Democrat The party is facing
right now.
Adam Curry: Well, now anti D is
falling into it.
John C Dvorak: It's hard not to
it's the best part. Yeah. But
it's more entertaining than
finding out that this guy is a
complete loser with all these
documents that he has scattered
all over that the photos, you
know, busted boxes, handwritten
notes. And then at his press
conference, sorry, we don't have
the whole thing. He denies it.
He says the report exonerates
him. Yeah, no. And he everything
was in luck. We locked in filing
cabinets and nothing was in
locked filing cabinet. So
they've done a good job
Adam Curry: of twisting. He said
I didn't have my staff moved him
as my staff. I can't You can't
blame
John C Dvorak: your staff under
the bus. Wow.
Adam Curry: It may it may be
this is it. The report is so
bad. And from what I've seen, it
is so bad. They didn't want that
to be the focus. Mm hmm. Huh.
Okay, brings a new
John C Dvorak: layer where you
can spike the ball later. Let's
go. Now what happens now is they
slightly changed the subject.
And it actually becomes kind of
more interesting as he talks
about Russia.
Unknown: And Now switching gears
a little bit. Fox News, former
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has
been making headlines with his
interview with Russian President
Vladimir Putin. Now there's been
mixed reactions, especially in
the media world, with even the
EU proposing sanctions on him.
What did you make of his
interview, but also the
reactions around it?
You know, I found the reactions
predictable. I think the media
is terrified both at what, you
know, Putin's demonstration of
competence is grasp of history.
But also, you know, like during
that interview, he made it very
clear that he was open to having
a negotiated settlement to the
war in Ukraine. And yet, you
know, that's been an ongoing
effort where there's a continual
demand for funds to keep funding
a war in Ukraine that's frankly
unwinnable and is always in my
estimation, anyway, it has
always been unwinnable.
Now, the Tucker Putin interview
covered a range of topics,
including AI, and even Elon
Musk. But what was most
surprising to you,
the length of it, the fact that
he was willing to there was it
was such a breadth of topics
that were covered. You know,
this, this meeting went this
interview went more than two
hours in length. Again, though,
the first thing that I
gravitated to was Putin's
throwing out there of his own,
you know, very forthright that
he wanted a negotiated
settlement to Ukraine. That's
probably the thing, first and
foremost, that grabbed my
attention, as well as the fact
this understanding of history
and that Russia, I think, as a
country is much more tied to
their history than
unfortunately, we are here in
the United States right now.
Adam Curry: I think it's correct
that NTD switches to that,
because a was also Well, time to
cover up massive coverage of the
Tucker Putin interview, there
was very little time for anyone
to do it cover any of the
content of it. And by the way,
he was very specific that Boris
Johnson was the one that went
into because I watched that
whole that was tedious to watch
the whole Tucker interview. But
Putin very exactly as we
predicted, described,
specifically, hey, the documents
were there. Boris Johnson flew
in said, no, no, no, no, you're
not, you're not going to sign
that you're going to fight. They
didn't say that in the NTD
analysis. But it was also just a
great cover up. And when you're
done with these clips, I have
some, I think some responses to
the Tucker I do
John C Dvorak: want to mention
something which is I was reading
various discussions where they
kind of pass over this this
interview with Putin and almost
everybody in the mainstream
media claims, and he started
looking into it. They all say,
Well, the thing about it is we
have to stay in this work
because Putin doesn't want to
negotiate.
Adam Curry: Yeah, which is
exactly
John C Dvorak: the opposite of
what lie. All he wants to do is
negotiate.
Adam Curry: Yes. Yes. I don't
want to go back to Poland. And I
don't want to do it. Just
listen, negotiate this thing
out. Let's do it, bro. That's my
John C Dvorak: daughter's on and
on about the Minsk agreements
where everybody was ready to
negotiate. And that was the
Boris Johnson thing I think he's
doing pulled the plug on Minsk.
Yes. And so this is just like
we're just being scammed by the
media in terms of their with the
way they're presenting stuff to
us. Well,
Adam Curry: the focus is what's
so amazing is how the focus is
put on certain things. That
again, you know, you're getting
the same clips on Twitter,
you're getting the same talking
points and focus really focus
from the from the alternative
media, what I call the info
Mavericks, like all other
lawyers talk about this with
this. I wonder how many people
actually watched all two hours
and seven minutes besides you
and I? Were all 17 minutes of
Biden, this is no longer done. I
think people just sniffing each
other's butts and getting each
other's clips.
John C Dvorak: Well, they're
there. Yeah. It doesn't take
Eugenius to watch 70 minutes of
Biden. Alright, let's go to part
two of this. And then there's
just one other aspect, which is
the kind of the most interesting
part of it. I don't know what's
going to come of it. And
Unknown: one thing that seems to
be standing out to some was the
binder that Tucker was holding.
What did you make of that?
Yes, in many respects,
especially in kind of light of
the overshadowing events
yesterday, that was the thing
that I thought was the most
interesting at the very end. And
Tucker made a point of showing
it for those that didn't see,
Tucker was given a very large
binder of documents from Putin
to bring back in. It's unknown
what's in there. But not only
did you see that at the end of
the VNA interview in the
handoff, but Tucker made a very
real point of posting that as a
separate clip, just he in the
binder alone, and without
telling us what's in there,
making very clear what it was
and pointed it out to everybody.
So a lot of curiosity
surrounding what's exactly in
all those documents.
Adam Curry: Oh, I know what's in
the binder doesn't everybody
know? I thought that was well
known. You don't see the binder
pictures of Taylor Swift.
John C Dvorak: I wonder where
you're gonna go with that.
Kennedy, he's got this binder,
which is means as soon as Tucker
gets back on the airplane, he'll
be debriefed by a bunch of CIA
guys. Russia, he's always wanted
to be as
Adam Curry: as as Putin even
pointed out, you wanted to be a
CIA guy that wouldn't have they
wouldn't have yet.
John C Dvorak: Supposedly, yeah.
And supposedly, supposedly, and
so they're gonna go over the
stuff with the fine tooth comb.
Now the problem is, is that
what's Tucker gonna do with
this? Is he going to get release
it, you know, if you release
part of it, of the binder, and
you don't release it all, you
know, Putin has got a second
copy that he can come to, here's
what they didn't release. And
this is what's important. You
know, it could be a setup or
something like for for a stunt
like that? It could be there's
it who knows, well, this is what
we're gonna find out eventually.
But the binder is swift
Adam Curry: comes into play.
It's like whatever, whatever it
is. It'll be aI generated fake.
Baby. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's
John C Dvorak: what you could
do. So
Adam Curry: Tucker Carlson might
be prosecuted for under the
Espionage Act and lawyer or just
as just noise, just noise. You
know, tech companies will be
testing European Union law,
regulating lies. You know, you
can't put that on the internet.
You can't put that on your
platform. It's lies. And most
importantly, I want you all to
know, Tucker Carlson is not a
journalist. He
Unknown: is not a journalist. He
is not someone that you need to
take seriously. In fact, he's
someone who there would be no
reason to take him seriously. So
he cannot be held liable for the
things that he says so to try to
couch what he's doing right now
is supposedly being being about
journalism is absolutely
ridiculous.
Tucker Carlson
John C Dvorak: is going to be
there and be the journalist that
none of us are actually
Unknown: Tucker, you are not in
journalism a long time ago.
Sure. But these days, you've
been in the propaganda business.
And yeah, journalist in quotes.
Yes.
I'm alive say his name. Yes.
Yes, I'm just his name is Tucker
Carlson. And he is the only
American journalist who has been
able to interview Putin since
the invasion in 2022. Tucker
Carlson is not a journalist. Not
even close. Why he's doing this
interview. Now, obviously, for
the Kremlin, it makes sense if
they want to talk. It's a
friendly, it's a friendly voice,
but we will keep trying our best
to actually commit journalism.
We have already decided you are
literally the worst media figure
imaginable to be doing an
interview with Russia's Vladimir
Putin. You have no journalistic
credibility.
None that I mean, he's like a
puppy dog. I find it gobsmacking
terrifying to ally and it's
clear, like we talked about, you
know, disinformation on social
media. Well, disinformation from
people like Tucker Carlson,
Adam Curry: Tucker Carlson is
lying from the streets of
Russia, no less. So he's not a
jerk. What is the journalist now
do you have to go to journalism
school to be considered a
journalist? I just want to get
this straight skinny on this.
John C Dvorak: Well, it depends
on your definition. Bloggers are
considered journalism in some
quarters. You can define it in a
lot of different ways. But
anyone who keeps a journal would
be a journalist, anyone who's a
reporter reports on something
would be a journalist to be
tactic. There's no licensing in
the United States, in some
countries to be a journalist,
for example, Brazil, you have to
have a license, maybe the
government and that's the way to
go and they would like that here
too. But no, no, you can be you
can just call yourself a
journalist and you are I would
use the term ipso facto, a
journalist, ipso
Adam Curry: facto, if you use
the word ipso facto, you are are
in fact a journalist right that
absolutely. Here's Chris Wallace
Tucker
Unknown: Carlson showed up in
Moscow this week to interview
Vladimir Putin. It turned out to
be anything but an interview.
No, Putin droned on for two
hours and seven minutes wasn't
an interview he did let him
drone on. While Tucker is out
there like an eager puppy, eager
puppy. Oh, where
Adam Curry: have I heard this
before?
Unknown: I mean, he's like a
puppy dog because he is a useful
idiot. Oh, occasionally, but
rarely. He got an a question
like this one about the power of
the deep state in Washington.
It sounds like you're describing
a system that's not run by the
people who are elected in your
telling you it's true.
But more telling them what
Tucker asked is what he didn't
ask nothing about why Putin
invaded a sovereign country.
Nothing about targeting
civilians. Nothing about Russian
war crimes. A reporter can ask
Putin a tough question. If he
wants a real interview. Listen
to this. Why is it that so many
of the people that oppose
Vladimir Putin end up dead or
close to it?
Adam Curry: So Chris Wallace
says Tucker Carlson is no good,
doesn't ask the right questions,
and then cuts to a clip of him
asking Putin a tough question. I
mean, whoa, bro, ego much.
Unknown: Why is it that so many
of the people that oppose
Vladimir Putin end up dead or
close to it? But apparently,
that's not why Tucker went to
Moscow. During the Cold War,
gullible Westerners who spread
Soviet propaganda were dismissed
as useful idiots. But calling
Tucker that is unfair to useful
idiot. Well, oh, no, he's made a
cynical affection for dictators.
And what better way to cash in
than Putin's Kremlin?
Oh, yeah. Oh,
you got butt flap?
John C Dvorak: I wonder if I, if
Chris Wallace ever asked
Hillary, that exact same
question.
Adam Curry: There was one, there
is one piece that I didn't hear
anyone talk about? A question
that wasn't even a question.
It's something I don't think it
was even a question. Because you
know, Tucker's not journalist.
But Putin had something very
interesting to say here, you
Unknown: just asked me if
another leader comes and changes
something. It is not about the
leader. It is not about the
personality of a particular
person, it that she didn't, I
had the very good relationship
with the say, Bush. I know that
in the United States, he was
portrayed as some kind of a
country boy who does not
understand much, but I assure
you that this is not the case. I
think he made a lot of mistakes
with regard to Russia, too. I
told you about 2008. And the
decision in Bucharest to open
the NATO's doors to for Ukraine
and so on. That happened during
his presidency, he actually
exercised pressure on the
Europeans. But in general, on a
personal human level, I had a
very good relationship with him.
He was no worse than any other
American or Russian or European
politician. I assure you, he
understood what he was doing as
well as others. I had such
personal relationship with Trump
as well. It is not about the
personality of the leader. It is
about the elites mindset. If the
idea of domination at any cost
based also on forceful actions,
dominates the American society,
nothing will change. It will
only get worse. Yeah,
Adam Curry: exactly. He can take
over the show. If we cut out the
pauses like I did on that clip,
he can easily take over take
over the show. Everything that
we have deconstructed. Putin
said the half hour background on
Russia was interesting. I mean,
just from a historical
standpoint, now, but no play, no
John C Dvorak: play. Yeah, it
was interesting. If you wanted
to listen to Russian history,
which
Adam Curry: I didn't have, but
you know, a little bit not all
that. But yeah, so everything
came at the right time. You
know, we had Biden making all
the noise. I think that got the
most noise from the noise
machine. I like that the noise
machine. And even then, even I
didn't even see Fox do very much
on Tucker and Putin, did you?
John C Dvorak: Actually, I don't
recall anything. And I there's
two or three shows I've watched
kind of routinely, yes. And I
don't recall them bringing it up
at all,
Adam Curry: because he's persona
non grata at the Democrat run.
Fox News. They kicked him out. I
did want to go back briefly to
the Biden thing because I would
have wrapped this up if we
hadn't gotten on a different
track about covering up the
report Smerconish. Where's that
guy from that Smerconish? Does
he have a radio show? Smerconish
must
John C Dvorak: be like a radio
reason I can't come up with a
radio guy. He
Adam Curry: had an Obama
confidant extraordinaire, David
Axelrod, on. Axelrod, who didn't
you run Obama's first campaign?
John C Dvorak: Yes. He ran
Obama's campaigns and he hates
Biden.
Adam Curry: And he's a
podcaster. Now, he's a podcast.
John C Dvorak: Is he? I don't
know. podcaster. X Files? Yes,
he
Adam Curry: has. He has a
podcast and Smerconish. Ask them
about Big Mike. And
Unknown: there's like always a
family member who says, in my
case, it's my brother. Keep your
eye on Michelle Obama. And I say
that is crazy. What should we be
saying about Michelle Obama?
Well, here's what I know.
Michelle Obama, Obama loves this
country. She's She's a brilliant
person and a brilliant
communicator. But she was a
conscript to politics. She never
was interested in a political
life. Even when Barack Obama was
a young politician. She really
didn't participate much in his
campaigns. I was with him in his
Senate campaign in 2004. I think
she showed up twice in the whole
campaign on election nights. So,
you know, she, she's not someone
who likes politics. She doesn't
like the tone and tenor of
politics. And I would be floored
if she would consent to that.
They feel that they gave 10
years of their life to this, and
I'm sure she feels as Barbara
Bush did when she said there has
to be someone other than the
bushes and the Clintons who
could be President of the United
States. My guess is that's her
attitude. I always say, Michael,
that I have as much chance of
dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet
next year, then, then that she
would be President of the United
States. And so if you see me
running around at the end of the
year in a leotard you'll know
what
Adam Curry: I was gonna say
both. I
Unknown: hear the Bolshoi maybe
once maybe once and for all.
David Axelrod just put it to
rest. Unless Cindy Adams is not
watching. Thank Thank you,
David.
Adam Curry: I think he's still
left that open. No, you might,
might be in leotards.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the funnier
line is a two two. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I was waiting for
him. I agree. I was waiting for
him to say two two and because
he didn't say two, two, I think
he left it open. Yeah, yes. He
left it open. I'm just hedging
my buddy.
John C Dvorak: My buddy. My
buddy microdata
Adam Curry: Oh, okay, mouse,
man. Give me a break. There's no
evidence there weren't microdots
John C Dvorak: Hmm. So you get
to bring that up. We have to
talk about this, though. I think
we're done with it. Yeah, no,
I'm
Adam Curry: I'm wait. I think
we've handled Biden and Putin
and we're good to go.
John C Dvorak: I got mail in
ballots are no good.
Unknown: Republicans and
Democrats don't agree on mail
and voting. according to a Pew
Research poll. They disagree by
a lot with Republicans largely
opposed. A different poll on
mail in ballot fraud may explain
why NTDs Arlene Richards has the
details. Some
Americans don't like mail in
ballots that much, while others
like it a lot. Nationally 57% of
poll respondents favor mail in
ballots. A recent Pew Research
poll shows 84% of Democrats
favor mail in ballots, while
only 28% of Republicans favor
the practice. According to the
survey voters have changed their
views on different voting
measures in recent years,
particularly regarding voting by
mail. Four years ago, 70% of
American adults favored it. But
now only 57% do. Democrats views
on mail in ballots have remained
almost unchanged since 2020.
While Republicans have become
less fond of it, dropping from
49% to 28%. One reason for the
change in opinion may be due to
an increased likelihood of
fraud. Well, how
Adam Curry: are we going to
steal an election if we don't
have mail in ballots?
John C Dvorak: That's exactly
right. And then of course, the
part is pretty I think this next
clip, which is part two is is
incredibly underreported by the
mainstream, it's not reported at
all.
Unknown: A study conducted by
the Heartland Institute
concludes the fraud influenced
the 2020 presidential election
results. The study was based on
data obtained from the heartland
Rasmussen survey in December.
According to the survey, about
one in five Mellon voters
admitted to potentially
fraudulent actions in the 2020
presidential election. The
researchers believed the fraud
significantly impacted the
results of the ill election in
favor of Joe Biden. The report
states that if the majority of
Americans had cast their ballots
in person, Donald Trump would
almost certainly have been
reelected.
Adam Curry: So there was a poll,
which is Rasmussen, which is, I
think, usually seen as a right
wing far right poll, where
people actually admitted that
they they defrauded it. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: He ever heard
this either, have you? No, of
Adam Curry: course not.
John C Dvorak: Of course not.
Adam Curry: What I did here is
some of the oral arguments of
the Supreme Court regarding
Trump being on the ballot in, in
Colorado. So this is, this is
entertaining. Yes. The Supreme
Court discussing now. Well, hold
on a second, you guys had some
mind reader who testified that
Trump was intending to be an
insurrectionists. And on basis
of that you said, Oh, he
committed an insurrection. Now,
I think a point we brought up as
well, if you can take someone
off the ballot, because they
incited an erection. Oops, I did
it.
John C Dvorak: On purpose? Oh,
actually, I
Adam Curry: didn't. Because it's
easy to do, I guess what's on my
mind because they incited an
insurrection. You could also
make that case against Nancy
Pelosi for not having the
Capitol Police or National Guard
whatever was asked of her. And
what's good for the goose is
good for the gander. And Chief
Justice Roberts said exactly
that. If
Unknown: Colorado's position is
upheld, surely there will be
disqualification proceedings on
the other side. And some of
those will succeed. Some of them
will have different standards of
proof. Some of them will have
different rules about evidence,
maybe the Senate report won't be
accepted and others because it's
hearsay. Maybe it's beyond a
reasonable doubt whatever the in
very quick order, I would
expect. Although my predictions
never been correct, I would
expect that a goodly number of
states will say whoever the
Democratic candidate is, you're
off the ballot and others. For
the Republican candidate, you're
off the ballot, it will come
down to just a handful of states
that are going to decide the
presidential election. That's a
pretty daunting consequence.
Well, certainly, Your Honor, the
fact that there are potential
frivolous applications of a
constitutional provision isn't a
reason. Well, no,
hold on. I mean, you might think
you're frivolous. But the people
who are bringing them may not
think they're frivolous.
Insurrection is a broad, broad
term. And if there's some debate
about it, I suppose that will go
into the decision. And then
eventually what we would be
deciding whether there was an
insurrection when one president
did something as opposed to when
somebody else does something
else, when that'd
Adam Curry: be great if we only
had like 10 states that have
both on the ballot.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's your
That's democracy for you. That's
exactly training. Democracy.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Man, this is great.
What a great time to be doing a
podcast.
John C Dvorak: It's podcast
time.
Adam Curry: It is it is podcast
time. It's fantastic. I'm loving
it. I'm loving it. So well, I
mean, the general consensus,
including from our
constitutional lawyer is that
the Supreme Court will reverse
the Colorado Supreme Court
decision now, if they're, I
John C Dvorak: should point out
that most of the analysts to
watch or listen to all of the
eight listened to quite a bit of
it. But it turned out to be the
liberals who are really jumping
all over this because they just
thought it was ridiculous. So
it's going to it's either going
to be eight to one or which be
Sotomayor she did was the only
one that seems sympathetic, or
nine to nothing, and this is not
even going to be close the art
are.
Adam Curry: Our constitutional
boots on the ground lawyer says
he says the odds are good that
Sotomayor will dissent. She'll
be the only one. But then of
course, the question is on what
grounds will they overturn it?
It could be multiple grounds to
make it a little fuzzier. You
know, not to just who I you
know, was not getting to the
insurrection part. Let's just
say bla bla bla bla bla bla, I
think they're gonna go for blah
blah, blah,
John C Dvorak: blah. So I have a
little clip here. That shouldn't
be tween clips.
Adam Curry: I love an entre ma
entre Manuel muse. Boosh.
John C Dvorak: I finally got a
clip of Reverend Al. Oh, good,
harder to catch now. Yes. So I
have him. He says he's talking
about my orcas and how he's
going to be another trying to
impeach me orcas, and I just
knew it'd be a matter of time.
Before After he said it once,
twice, three times before he
screwed it up. Here we go.

let him go wild. Oh. I heard a
an ad the COVID is is is
striking people again.
John C Dvorak: Get back slow
COVID COVID-19. I'm not waiting.
If it's COVID x COVID.
Adam Curry: I just want you to
hear all the disclaimers in this
ad. This is not a good product
people excellent.
Unknown: It is an oral treatment

COVID-19 and a high risk factor
for it becoming severe.
It does not prevent COVID 19
symptoms are mild
now. But I'm not risking it. I'm
Adam Curry: not here you're my

little flu, a little cough, but
I'm not risking it

taken within the first five days
of symptoms and help stop the

Adam Curry: Oh it helps the
virus from stops it from

Taking
Unknown: pecs a little bit but
certain medicines can lead to
serious or life threatening side
effects. affect how it or other
medicines work, including
hormonal birth control is
critical to tell your doctor
about all the medicines you take

So talk to your doctor.
Adam Curry: I love that this is
new. These are not all the
possible side effects. Talk to
your doctor. They're not even
disclaiming the death anymore.
John C Dvorak: Wow, yeah, I
liked it. I knew that is new,
but they can get away with it.
That's what they're gonna do.
Adam Curry: And they also show
the lady beginning it through
telemedicine. They show her on
the laptop talking to her
doctor. That's you know, talking
to your doctor is now real
thing. It's not your doctor at
some dude in Vegas, you know,
who also who's also a car valet.
And on the side he takes $10
calls and prescribes you tax
COVID It's really bad. Not good
products.
John C Dvorak: The I got another
onshore mount if you want to
Adam Curry: play one more, one
more. This is a Tedros. So the
pandemic treaty that everyone's
up in arms about now, because it
will give the World Health
Organization all this control
and which is basically turning
John C Dvorak: it over and
turning your sovereignty over to
one world government. Yes. But
the negotiators will sign it
will sign it.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. The
negotiations are failing because
of the patents. So the so the
big the big pharma companies
like ya know, we're all in it.
But none of you we're not going
to give it to just every country
unless they pay. Yeah, but you
remember, the patent was always
the issue. Like give it to the
rest of the world. Now we're not
going to give it away. I mean,
come on, we have patents on this
stuff. We're not going to let
you produce it. We'll sell it to
you. So Tedros. And by the way,
it's no longer the treaty.
There's a new word it's, it's
the pandemic agreement,
Unknown: the pandemic agreement
is mission critical. Humanity,
Adam Curry: it's mission
critical for humanity agreement,
pandemic
Unknown: agreement is mission
critical for humanity. in place
before COVID-19, we would not
have lost so much we would not
have suffered so much.
Adam Curry: If only we had it in
place before COVID We would have
not lost so much on the
Unknown: generation that lived
through COVID-19. We have a
collective responsibility to
protect future generations from
the suffering we endured. As
young people you have the most
to gain from a strong agreement,
it's likely you will face
another pandemic in your
Adam Curry: lifetime. Because it
happens only once every 100
years. We
Unknown: can't know how mild or
severe it might be. But we can
be prepared.
Adam Curry: So if I may speak to
the younger generations do not
allow this thing to be signed.
Do not do not let these people
control anything. Last night we
were at a restaurant here the
fried Helms, the schnitzel
restaurant, which is if you ever
come into Fredericksburg, skip
everything go to fried helms as
cheap as affordable, is German
is good. And so, so our server
comes over. Hi everybody. I'm
Adam. And he says, you know, and
we're all of course, oh, US and
my name is Adam. And he says,
Oh, yes, respect for my elders.
And this was the first time in
my heart really sank. I'm like,
holy crap. I'm an old guy. This
is the first time that really
that's pretty insulting. Well,
and I said, Oh, you know, it's
John C Dvorak: insulting. I'm
gonna just as an aside, what I
think is totally insulting is
when you have a clerk calling
you especially you know, you're
I'm in my 70s saying, young man,
Unknown: that's, that's
insulting.
John C Dvorak: Thank you. Thank
you very much young man.
Adam Curry: That beat him up.
Hit him with your cane.
John C Dvorak: I would if I had
a cane, I should carry a cane
just for that purpose, you
Adam Curry: know, with your
walker. Well, the thing is,
like, Oh, dude, and then he got
he got beat read. I mean, it was
very, the whole thing all round
was bad. But I was just like,
oh, there it is. This the first
time actually just had to come
to terms with it. I'm an old
man. You said
John C Dvorak: dude. I said,
dude. No, brother, dude.
Adam Curry: So anyway, as an old
man, children, young generation,
do not let them you know, sign
this pandemic treaty agreement
agreement. Do not do it, do not
do it. And while you're at it,
have some kids please before the
Unknown: end of this century,
the world population will shrink
for the first time since the
Bubonic Plague of the 1300s not
because of an increase in
deaths, but because of a slump
in births. Across the world
fertility rate is collapsing in
the year 2000. It stood at 2.7
births per woman. Today it is
2.3. And countries are worried
including France, France is
asked 25 year olds to get
fertility checks. This has
invited massive backlash.
Meanwhile, Singapore wants
people to celebrate the year of
the Dragon by having quote
unquote, little dragons of their
own. That's what they call it
babies to make the concept more
interesting, perhaps, but when
these tactics work,
Adam Curry: little dragons. So
you know, we've been talking
about what the former New York
banker told me about the about
our population, that as long as
we still have people, that as
our population grows, we beat
every other country, most
notably China. So Bloomberg, two
stories today. First story,
immigration. Now, they don't say
newcomers, visitors, aliens,
illegal aliens, they say
immigration will boost the US
economy by $7 trillion. And
then, and then the UK, soaring
UK migration, which is the
people coming in on rubber boats
across the channel, gives hunt
that's the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, up to 18 billion
pound benefit, he doesn't have
to raise taxes. So it's working
as intended. You know, because
they work at or above the level
of the people who are to live
which means cheaper. It's It's
unbelievable. They're just
saying it now. So I think this
the horse has left the stable.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we'll
explain this one. Here's my clip
immigration results. Immigration
Adam Curry: results. Here
Unknown: we go. A new
congressional report estimates
that the influx of illegal
immigrants will force down wages
in the US. This comes as
lawmakers in one state advanced
a bill that would extend
government funded health
insurance to illegal immigrants
and to his area and past our has
an immigration update is
very difficult to know with
precision, who are the, you know
the people and such as coming
across the border now, the
Congressional Budget Office or
CBO released a budget outlook
report for the next 10 years.
Same report estimates that
America's population will
increase over the next decade
due to immigration. This will
also take its toll on wages. The
report states that average real
wages are expected to be
slightly lower by 2034 than they
would be otherwise. Say the
report's most shocking
projection is that it expects
government debt will rise by $20
trillion in the next decade to
$54 trillion. Now this new
report comes just as state
senators in Virginia advanced a
health care bill for immigrants.
The cover or kits Act would
provide state funded health care
to all low income immigrants
under the age of 19. Now a
Republican state senator who
oppose the bill reportedly said
it would cost Virginia taxpayers
$100 million just in this decade
and an update on this attack on
police officers near Times
Square in which a group of
illegal immigrants punched two
officers and kicked their heads
as they were lying on the
ground. Seven individuals
allegedly involved in this
incident have now been indicted.
Manhattan district attorney
Alvin Bragg who doesn't often
address the public held a press
conference on Thursday. Stay
this assault
as it did to many of you sicken
me and outrage me. We all rely
on our members of the NYPD every
day as I said, to keep us safe
and keep this the safest big
city in America.
Greg also commented on
speculation that the suspects
had been caught in Arizona after
fleeing New York. He dismissed
those reports saying they're not
true.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna disregard
the last bit of the report the
first bit was super interesting
and because the $7 trillion
number comes from the same CBO
report and the health care part
is is phenomenally interesting
because the UK they also there's
a whole bunch of stories now
because it is are you going to
give away health health care to
visitors newcomers and in the
UK, they've been doing just
that. So here's the story
headlines sharp rise in people
waiting over 12 hours at the
emergency room in this is all
the NHS is the socialized health
care but my favorite headline I
couldn't get an NHS dentist
appointment for six months I had
to pull up my own tooth with
pliers Yes Where I live many
people don't even have teeth
anymore but there's a solution
solution reports the Daily Mail
millions will get fluoride added
to their tap water and biggest
expansion of controversial
scheme since the 1980s. Yes No
cavities but it'll make it nice
and docile unbelievable get out
of the UK people run Oh my my my
I'm kind of happy I'm old now
I'm gonna have to witness all
the all the mayhem coming. Well,
yeah, you can call me no code.
This is This is horrible. Really
is. But of course you know, just
John C Dvorak: to play just to
continue that clip but not a
continuation but just another
this is another thing doesn't
get reported much in this in
this in the mainstream this way.
I didn't know this until I heard
I think is NTD. Play this one.
This is the New York City new
shooting a new shooting. The
NYPD
Unknown: has revealed the
suspect in a shooting in Times
Square last night. A 15 year old
was arrested after allegedly
opened firing at a tourist
police identified the teen as an
immigrant from Venezuela.
And I gotta tell you what those
bullets hit saw accomplish
tonight. This is a whole
different conversation we're
having today. My concern our
concern the community's concern
is to take this on juvenile the
streets.
Authorities say the suspect came
to the US last September and was
living in a temporary migrant
shelter. According to the NYPD,
he shot a Brazilian tourist in
the leg inside a retail store
and began to shove clothing into
a bag. As he ran off he
allegedly opened fire again just
a fluke a few blocks away
attempting to lose the police
officials say he's also a
suspect and an armed robbery in
the Bronx last month. During the
shooting, the 15 year old was
accompanied by two other
suspects. Well,
Adam Curry: since we're doing
bummer news about New York City
and regarding regarding
replacement migration, let's add
one more to the mix before I
build everybody up cutting
Unknown: the fat that's a good
thing when we want it. But the
city cuts $60 million out of the
Education Department's budget
for school lunches. And the cuts
announced in November have
started impacting school lunches
across the city and is now being
noticed including here at this
house kitchen location home to
five schools and 1000s of
students.
A lot of kids don't eat so
they're hungry and they're tired
and they don't participate or
perform well in their classes.
It like really drains them out
at home hungry and stuff. And
like usually we get snack or
sometimes you don't eat or
there's no snack at all. When we
don't get snack you know we
can't we can't be doing all that
the city school system serves
close to 900,000 meals a day.
While the city still provides
meals. Secondary and alternative
items are phased out like
chicken fingers and french
fries. Mayor Adams announced the
cuts the result of the city's
spending on the migrant crisis.
Over the past year and a half
over 170,000 Migrants have come
to New York City requiring
housing food education and other
services that causes a cuts is
driving a wedge that they're
more tired.
They're less able to focus in
class throughout the day. They
have headaches or stomach aches,
they have less energy, and all
of that affects learning and
their ability to take advantage
of being in school.
So here's where it gets
confusing. The Education
Department says despite the cut
to the food budget, all of that
money is being replaced by
incoming funds from the federal
government. Parents say then it
doesn't make sense why the food
budget has been tinkered with
and they say food for students
should be the last thing that's
touched.
Adam Curry: All right couple
things first of all, Get out of
the cities. This is no longer a
safe or healthy place to live.
Second, they're feeding the
kids. Chicken Nuggets and french
fries. give your kid a sandwich.
Bologna with mayonnaise for all
I care. Oh, we have no snacks.
Of course not. Of course the
kids are slow because you've got
them addicted to sugar. Oh, we
need a snack. I need a snack to
get my sugar Oh app. No. There's
right now there's a beef
shortage in America. They're
they're messing with our food.
They really are. And then the
farmer protest is a part of that
all over Europe. I hope that our
farmers here eventually get in
on the action. I don't know if
they ever will. I'm quite
frankly, I'm surprised. But we
John C Dvorak: you know, it's
they're not even letting us know
about the farmers protests in
Europe and in the media
Unknown: near the village of
Doris on Poland's Ukrainian
border. A bitter chill hangs in
the air. Schools are furious
farmers have been blockading
checkpoints demanding urgent
change from the governments in
Warsaw. And in Brussels. The
source of their ire is
agricultural products being
imported from Ukraine.
Originally, they were meant to
support the Ukrainian economy
during its war with Russia. But
now government policies are
sparking unrest at home. Our
heads are on the water. We don't
have any more money to
compensate for our losses in
farming. It's our passion, but
not our livelihood anymore,
unfortunately, is still our own
source of income. 1000s of other
Polish farmers were expected in
the city of paws noun, anger
there was supposed to focus on
European Union climate change
policies. Opponents agriculture
minister said on Thursday, he
understood the challenges
farmers were facing. Once the
scene of gladiatorial conflict
Italy's Coliseum on Friday, saw
tractors driving past, Italian
farmers say their battle is just
as historic. We're not
here to protest. We're here to
make proposals. Yesterday, we
presented sign copies of these
proposals to the government, and
we're confident they will
receive us together we will see
if Europe still wants to Italian
farmer
the challenges they face are
sizeable and growing. The EU
last week watered down climate
commitments, apparently bowing
to Farmer demands that had
called them overly burdensome.
So they're
Adam Curry: basically just
chopping the farmers out,
they're no longer giving them
the subsidies they need because
they don't want to feed their
Nations. And it's cool to see
tractors in front of the
Colosseum in Rome, they're no
longer they don't want to feed
their Nations with healthy
products. And I consider beef to
be a very healthy good product.
However, even in Texas, we've
turned our ranchers into
commodity cowboys. And there's
only three big processing
plants, and you need to find a
rancher and there's plenty of
them beef initiative.com, which
my buddy Texas slim set up,
there's plenty of them around
the United States, you need to
go and shake ranchers hand and
say hi, I need to buy some of
your beef. Because right now we
in our supermarket here heb
that's from South America and
they put USDA prime on it. They
drive that shut stuff up. They
got a big cattle drive our Texas
Beef being sold like caviar to
China. That's it and get out of
the cities. buy an RV for care.
Get out, get into a small
community. You really need to do
this because this is the
problem. It's the immigration is
all it's not none of it's good.
But small communities can
survive and certainly innovative
young people can figure stuff
out. You can work by via remote.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm glad
you got that clip of the farm
because the farmers because
they're not playing any of that
on PBS what they've decided to
do because they know people
notice protests going on in
Europe. They've decided to PBS
is from PBS. They've decided to
to bring it show protest the big
European protests in Germany as
far
Adam Curry: right the Nazis.
Germany AFD
John C Dvorak: coverage here's
PBS weeks
Unknown: Germans have been
flooding into streets squares
and parks protesting the
increasing influence of far
right parties. It comes as
Germany's leading far right
party suffered a narrow defeat
in regional elections in one of
its strongholds. Ali Rogen
explores the impact of this
increasingly tense political
atmosphere.
The catalyst for the protests
came from a recent report by the
media outlet correct teeth. It
details a meeting between
leaders of the far right AFD or
the Alternative for Germany
party and members of a separate
extremist movement. In that
meeting, they discussed a plan
for re migration involving mass
deportations of immigrants,
including some with German
citizenship. The AFD has since
distanced itself from the
meeting, but that hasn't slowed
the demonstrations. Some
protesters are calling for an
outright ban of the AfD which is
seen as As to aligned with
Germany's Nazi past. James
Angelos is an editor for
Politico based in Berlin. Thank
you so much for being here. Tell
us about who the members of the
AfD party are and how much
influence do they have in
Germany right now,
the party had been rising in
polls leading up to this report
is second right now polling
second behind the opposition
conservatives. So right now the
party is more popular than any
of the parties that are
currently in the German
government are three parties
making up the ruling coalition.
And the AfD is more popular than
all three of them. So
Adam Curry: I don't know if it's
in your other clips here. But
that in this bin unclimbable
Because all in German, there's
multiple investigations
inquiries, I should say, going
on in in German Parliament
against this collective outfit,
who are given money by the left
wing parties to build this whole
narrative that the AfD is a
bunch of Nazis.
John C Dvorak: You're but you're
banking on these clips? Not from
this guy. But yes, and that's
obviously what's going on
because this is a populist
party. Just like what's going on
everywhere else in the world,
because they're getting sick of
these people that are pushing
everyone around
Adam Curry: 40% of the world
will be voting this year and
big, like they'll all be
John C Dvorak: voting populist.
That includes Trump
Adam Curry: builders in the
Netherlands. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And it includes
his AFD operation. Yes, who
Adam Curry: are who are clearly
affiliated with the Nazi past,
unlike, you know, people getting
arrested and not being able to
go to the supermarket during
COVID. Remember that? They had
separate ly Oh, you can't pass
the fence. You can't get you
can't go to the supermarket, the
Dutch. Now you've got curfews
which they hadn't had since
World War Two, come on. This did
what this is PBS that's doing
this, this PBS unbelievable.
Unknown: And so what is
happening politically in Germany
right now that is making them
more popular.
There has been a rise again
recently of asylum seekers
entering Germany from countries
like Syria and Afghanistan, and
they are an anti migration party
that's noticed
Adam Curry: the new term asylum
seekers, this is what this is
what the term has been in Europe
for a long time. We're getting
that here to asylum seekers,
their sort
Unknown: of core issue. There
are other issues that they're
taking advantage of the moment,
energy prices skyrocketed
following Russia's invasion of
Ukraine, inflation and economy
right now is sorry,
John C Dvorak: energy prices
have only gone up because of
Russia's Ukraine invasion, when
in fact, the Green Party's in
the greenies Deutschland managed
to turn on all the new coal and
nuclear and
Adam Curry: Putin I thought it
was Putin who did that?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's what
he just said. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: what I'm saying was
Putin remember when Putin blew
up his own pipeline? Yeah. And
John C Dvorak: Putin blown up
his own pie. Yeah, give me a
break with this bullcrap.
Unknown: invasion of Ukraine,
inflation, and the economy right
now is not doing well. So there
is a general unease in the
population that's also helping
the party and they are
particularly strong in the
former East Germany, where there
is also more sympathy, perhaps
for taking on a friendlier
stance toward Russia. Oh, man.
Adam Curry: All right.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, hold on a
second to before you raise
anything. Yeah. The East Germans
don't like Russians know
Adam Curry: they were locked.
Up. So I'm like Jim Psaki. I'm
sure they have a real good team
of people at PBS, don't they?
Who can say hold on a second
man, you know that that's kind
of odd out of order. What you're
saying there that
John C Dvorak: should have been
like this guy's being
interviewed is from Politico. So
it should have been the hostess.
Yes. Who should on PBS who
should have or the what's his
name, the other guy who should
have asked the question, wait a
minute, that doesn't make sense
that East Germans generally
historically hate the Russians.
Now all of a sudden, they're in
love with the Russians. Are you
kidding me?
Adam Curry: So two things one,
you're bumping your mic a lot.
So something something is on
your standard, loose.
Something's loose, too. Now that
I'm officially an elder, I think
we just need to rebrand or like,
listen, kids were telling you
what to do and what not to do.
This really bugged you. Yeah,
did it well, didn't it just No,
it was just a realization
John C Dvorak: slap in the face.
No, no, it's just the tribe
bucket of water.
Adam Curry: I'm just an old guy.
I'm an elder. I'm an elder.
John C Dvorak: You're not that
old.
Adam Curry: I'm an elder.
John C Dvorak: Now not an elder.
Adam Curry: I want to be an
elder let me be you
John C Dvorak: will be
eventually but not till you're
60 Oh, at least. Oh, so we
Adam Curry: have what? seven
more months everybody? And
Unknown: of course, the flip
side of rising popularity is as
we've been seeing rising
opposition and more people
speaking out against them. So
why are these protests happening
now? Well,
the catalyst really was this
report, and combined with the
fact that the party has been
rising in polls, even as it has
grown more extreme. I think this
struck a nerve for multiple
reasons. This gathering, people
saw echoes of the Nazi past and
some politicians even called it
a Nazi Party. These protests are
ongoing, they're large, there's
no sign that they're winding
down. And the people who are
organizing them see themselves
really standing up for the
survival of the Republic against
a very immediate threat.
Adam Curry: Are the Germans
really this gullible? Do you
think though, they'll fall for
this nonsense?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, why not?
They fallen for shutting down
the nuclear power plants. I
mean, if you go along with that,
you have to be not only
gullible, but somewhat stupid.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. I'm afraid
you're right. Ah, you know, when
Germany when Germany runs into
trouble, as they say, in the old
country, when when Germany
sneezes, all of Europe gets a
cold. Without Germany, Europe is
in big trouble. But you know, of
course, the EU is now limiting
cash payments. Yeah, because of
money laundering. There cbdc is
coming, they'll everyone will
get UBI they'll be the first
ones will will be able to watch
it from here. I'll be fun.
John C Dvorak: Well, as a little
aside, even though this is going
to undo a Germany necessarily,
and it has a little bit to do
with the Gaza in Ukraine. I have
to Claire daily clips.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's always fun
to hear from Claire. Our Irish a
firebrand.
John C Dvorak: Let's see, first
one, you know, we talked about
the Hungary Hungarian situation
and how the EU we went back and
forth, thinking who is you know,
blackmailing who when it came to
Hungary going along with the
program and allowing Sweden to
join the NATO. And Claire has a
take on this, which is kind of
agrees that the two of us both
of us, took different sides, but
she kind of does. Same thing
about both. I thought this was
good. I
Unknown: abstained on this
motion because it's the same old
familiar dance, Hungary
blackmails the commission
commission blackmails Hungary,
no doubt and cause another
turkey to yell at some stage and
the Commission will trade away
Hungarian minority rights and
judicial independence, all for a
few billion to backstop what
they call their strategic
interests in Ukraine. The rule
of law is really just another
weapon in the hands of this so
called geopolitical commission
and this type of horse trading
of course, there's problems in
Hungary and in many other areas
as well. But this type of horse
trading certainly doesn't help
poor for the US walrus Alex, the
people who staked their
political careers on to tearing
peace in Ukraine, who cares, but
reality is catching up with the
United States is rapidly losing
interest in the proxy war. It
provoked and maintained just as
it always does, Europe will be
left picking up this pieces just
like it always is. It's not too
late for Europe to play a
constructive role in what comes
next for Ukraine. But as long as
frail genocide is held
constructiveness is the last
thing we can hold for
Adam Curry: proud genocide.
That's better than Queen Ursula,
but I
John C Dvorak: love proud proud
genocide.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's a good
one.
John C Dvorak: There is I have
another one where she goes off
the rails but she's talking off
topic, and they cut her off they
literally kill her mic. So
Unknown: far, the EU and US
response to Israeli genocide has
been straight from the abusers
handbook Darko deny, attack,
reverse victim an offender. And
if that doesn't work, you're
just change the subject. So as
the genocide in Gaza continues,
you want to talk about
everything. But Gaza, you refuse
to put the item on an agenda and
agenda stacked with every cliche
imaginable from Venezuela to
Iran with pride of place given
to the old reliable Russian
interference. So a conscious
agent seeks to signal branding
Palestine protesters as Kremlin
operatives like clockwork, the
dark insinuations begin in
Europe, everyone can see what
you're doing. It's tedious, it's
predictable. You've been doing
it since 2016 isn't going to
work anymore. The mass movement
is focused like a laser on
genocide. Everyone knows it's
happening. And Europe is
I'm sorry, this is debate with a
title and so you should stick to
the issue. Thank you.
Shut up slave.
John C Dvorak: I say didn't cut
her off earlier.
Adam Curry: Okay, so I have a
couple clips here that fit right
into this. We'll start with with
that last bit about the
genocide. Hillary Clinton is
still out there speaking. She
was speaking at some event with
our ambassador to the United
Nations. What's that lady's
name? She looks like Donna
Brazil kind of in a way.
John C Dvorak: She looks like
James Brown. Thank you very
much. That's my name. That's
right. The people of Libya, the
people the people of Syria, the
people
Unknown: free poster. Okay,
that's Hillary now. Okay.
Free
Adam Curry: I encouraged Clinton
think it's great. I love this.
And I've brought in Libya.
Hillary with the Libya thing.
It's a Hillary What's your name?
Hillary Daisy, what's her name?
She's putting her middle name.
Unknown: Thank you very much.
That's my name. No, I
Adam Curry: said something not
random said something. Wrong
click Donna. It's like this has
some other name in there as
another net for some reason I
brought it in another middle
name. I'm not sure why. Now
going back to Hungary, we have a
development there that is quite
interesting,
Unknown: off to 641 days.
Katelyn Novak's reign as
president of Hungary came to an
end on Saturday. After being
caught up in an unprecedented
political scandal. She announced
her resignation in a televised
address.
As head of state I'm addressing
you for the last time today. I'm
resigning from the Office of the
President of the Republic.
The 46 year old had come under
mounting pressure to quit after
it emerged that last year, she
had issued a pardon to a man
convicted of helping to cover up
sexual abuse in a children's
home, a decision that Novak
described as a mistake.
By his last April I chose to
grant a pardon believing that
the convicted offender had not
abused the vulnerability of the
children in his care. I made a
mistake.
Novak's decision to quit comes
after a week of public outrage,
with 1000 demonstrators rallying
outside the president's office
on Friday, demanding her
resignation. Novak is a key ally
of Prime Minister Viktor Orban
serving as Vice President in the
ruling Fidesz party between 2017
and 2021. becoming the first
woman to be elected president of
Hungary in 2022. So
Adam Curry: I'm not quite sure
how to interpret this but
because or ban you know, he just
he got a lot of a lot of what he
wanted by agreeing to the 50
billion euro package for
Ukraine. I'm thinking she might
have been a stooge on the inside
and he wanted her out. So now
now he has full power without
unless he replaces her that that
whole situation like as she led
a she let a child abuser go and
it was a mistake. Yeah.
Something up with something very
strange.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, something's
up with Hungary by the way.
Adam Curry: It's Hillary Diane
Rodham Clinton there. There's a
reason why they threw in the
Diane which I'm not sure why
he's that extra insulting to
her. I didn't know that. By the
way. I only knew Hillary Rodham
is the Hillary Diane is there's
something I never heard
assaulting about that. There's a
reason I'm sure. Anyways,
Alinsky is very happy with the
with the package. He's got a big
package from from your well,
he's not entirely happy. We need
a little more.
Unknown: I'm grateful for your
decision on the financial
instrument for for us. For our
people for Ukraine, Ukraine
facility with 50 billion euros
for a four year period. This is
a clear signal that Ukraine will
withstand and that Europe will
withstand. It is also really
important that this decision was
taken unanimously by all all of
you all 27 Member States and it
is yet another clear sign of
your strong unity and support of
Ukraine. Intelligence confirmed
that Russia will receive a
million artillery shells from
Pyongyang. Meanwhile,
unfortunately,
Adam Curry: Russia is getting
missiles from North Korea okay
Unknown: receive a million
artillery shells from artillery
shown young Hunger meanwhile,
unfortunately I'm the
implementation of the European
plan to supply 1 million
artillery shells to Ukraine is
being delayed. These two is a
signal of global competition in
which Europe cannot afford to
lose. And that's why today your
unit is so needed in creating
the Ukraine Assistance Fund
within our European peace
facility.
Adam Curry: So he wants to build
up the European facility in
Ukraine to build missiles. I
mean, shells ammunition Yeah,
John C Dvorak: these are what
those shells are you at the
American taxpayer pays for one
of those 155 millimeter shells
and let me let
Adam Curry: me guess let me
guess what for one, one, I'm
gonna say $30,000.
John C Dvorak: Dollars. No, but
it's still not cheap there fuck
between five and $8,000 a shell.
And
Adam Curry: 10 Let's just call
it 10. So that's well, they're
even
John C Dvorak: more toward the
five the eight come later, okay.
But most of them are sold by
middlemen and bought in Bulgaria
for 500 bucks apiece.
Adam Curry: We're in the wrong
business. Man, that's good.
John C Dvorak: The Bulgarians
make a lot of shells and they
sell it for 500 bucks. And we
sell them for 5000 to $8,000
apiece.
Adam Curry: Oh goodness.
John C Dvorak: And who are we
selling them to? We're selling
them to the American taxpayer?
Yes.
Adam Curry: Yes, this is what we
do. You talking about? This is
good. This is good. You had a
fun little thing in the
newsletter about sunny Austin.
John C Dvorak: Sunny Austin and
I its words you get some clips.
Adam Curry: I do have some
clips. I have some I'd love to
hear.
John C Dvorak: I mean, the clips
are funny. I didn't get any
clips was sunny. Just as a
backgrounder sunny Hostin, who
purports to be a black woman.
slave descendant turns out to be
the descendant of Spanish. She
nudged you look at you. So yeah,
she looks like a dark skinned
Spanish woman. She turns out to
be a descendants of Spanish
slave holders.
Adam Curry: Well, so a little
more background, as we discussed
what Moe said. All of these
women just call them black
women, who are all pushed to the
front. Dei. Here you go.
President of Harvard, Joy read
at MSNBC, Fannie, Fannie Willis,
but also sunny Austin mo called
Draw specifically said, now they
have to show that they're that
they were the right choice. The
meritocracy part is coming in
now. And this is just right on
cue, an amazing takedown of this
woman by PBS. Here's a tip. You
should never go on the show
finding my roots. This is a dumb
idea. I wouldn't do
Unknown: it Sonny's roots in
Agra dia. We're about to connect
her to some painful history. Our
researchers discovered that our
third great grandfather for
Maine was the son of a merchant
who was likely involved in the
slave trade. And for me and
himself, owned at least one
human being. What's more, moving
back on this line, we found that
it originates in glitziest,
Spain, evidence of Sonny's
deeper ancestry and her family's
ties to Spain's colonial past.
What's it like to learn this
tangible connection to Spain?
I married a Spaniard Spanish
Ovation There you go. Wow. Well,
I'm I'm in a little bit of
shock. I just always thought of
myself as Puerto Rican, you
know, half Puerto Rican. I
didn't think I was my family was
originally from Spain and
slaveholders
feeling my friend
I just like crime. I think it's
actually pretty interesting that
my husband and I have shared
roots. Yeah. So I do appreciate
that. And I think it's great for
our children to know this
information. I guess it's a fact
of life. That this is how some
people made their living on the
backs of others.
Adam Curry: So a couple of
things have no I love the term
owned a human. I love that not a
slaveholder owned a human but
we're not done yet. You still
gotta mama. We gotta we gotta
pull apart. What's
Unknown: more, Sonny's own DNA
testifies to an even greater
connection. Almost a quarter of
her admixture is from the
Iberian Peninsula. Oh, no effect
that took Sunni by surprise.
I mean, I had no idea of the
Spanish roots to this extent.
I'm still sort of shocked about
the depth of the ties, I guess.
What do you say? All these white
people just came up on the
ground? He hasn't come from
somewhere.
I'm surprised. I mean, my
mother's family does look white.
So
when you gotta get spanked
just the colonization of other
people owning humans. But you
know, I'm I'm surprised that
they were in slavers, actually.
Yeah. That's disappointing. And
that's a
lot to do. Yeah. Has it changed
anything about the way you think
of your mother?
No. My mother certainly
identifies as Puerto Rican,
right. And non white actually,
Adam Curry: identifies,
identifies as Puerto Ricans hate
Unknown: this for her.
She's gonna see how deeply white
Adam Curry: Oh, no, your mama
deeply white? Oh, no. So, of
course, this doesn't make Sonny
Halston a slave owner or make
her a bad person. Other than
that, she's always been calling
for reparations. And I would say
that she seems to have gotten
some nice gigs, a whole
production deal based on her
black oriented TV, documentaries
and projects. So let's go to the
View. And let's talk it out,
shall we? So
Unknown: we're starting a little
differently this morning, sonny?
You were just on an episode of
finding your roots with Henry.
Yeah, and he gave me some
surprising revelations about my
family history. You know, I was
really reluctant. I don't know
how you felt when you did it
with me. But I was really
reluctant to do it. Because I
just sensed that there could be
something in my family set up.
History. That would be
disappointing. Disappointing.
Adam Curry: I'm so disappointed
in my disappointed I'm
Unknown: white.
Negative. Yes, I
John C Dvorak: am. Oh, shit
anymore.
Adam Curry: What did you say?
What did you say? I
John C Dvorak: said, I'm so
disappointed. I'm white, because
I can't leverage my bullshit
anymore. Disappointing.
Unknown: Negative, negative?
Yes, I thought I was gonna have
that kind of moment. And skip
had asked me to do it for a long
time. And I finally just who
Adam Curry: is skip? And why are
you friends with him tighter to
do it?
Unknown: Because I thought it'd
be helpful for my children and
my children's children to know
what their real history was, you
know, but what I found out was
that my mother's family while
they are Puerto Rican, they
actually originate from Spain.
And the reason that they moved
to Puerto Rico is because the
slave trade had been sort of
canceled in Spain and then
Curacao, and then they moved all
of their slaves to Puerto Rico.
And so the business the family
business, I had been told that
they were printers and
journalists, but they were in
fact, in slavers. In
Adam Curry: slavers, not slave
owners in slavers have
Unknown: my mother fell over the
deeply disappointing point. And
it's deeply disappointing
because my mother really
identified as Puerto Rican. She
was part of the civil rights
movement. And she was deeply
ingrained in black culture and,
and identified herself as black
for race. But
Adam Curry: what does she
identify as Puerto Rican black?
What was she 70?
Unknown: Hispanic for ethnicity?
But her race is white. She's
European. Yeah. I know. It's
weird because when you look at
her, my mother is blonde and she
has light eyes and my whole
family looks like that.
John C Dvorak: But she can be
black.
Adam Curry: The thing is, Okay,
so first of all, this identifies
as is Sunni. It's okay. You
didn't own humans. You It's
okay. It's okay. Words. Whoopie
calls it a bummer
Unknown: slave thing is a
bummer. It's about I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: Whoopie. Bae hard
hit the bomber
Unknown: I slave thing is
Adam Curry: a bummer. It's a
bummer. Your face is a bummer.
And I think enrolling
Unknown: creations by the way,
so y'all can stop texting me and
emailing me and saying that I'm
a white girl, and that I don't
deserve reparations. That's I
still believe
you I don't know who said her.
In telling her she was a white
girl. Okay, it's it's it's too
much people clean off your
television screen. Yeah, it's
six. That's a lot.
So I still believe in
reparations. I still believe
this country has a lot to do in
terms of racial justice. But
what I will say, Sarah, to your
question is that I feel that I'm
enriched by knowing
Adam Curry: that history you
want of us girl,
Unknown: I'm enrich. And I'm
enriched by knowing that my
family has come so far from
being in slavers to my mother
marrying my father. Oh, I
Adam Curry: see. As long as you
marry someone black, it's okay.
If your ancestors were a slave
holder, I feel enriched and
rich. You're not responsible for
the slaves in Oh, you're not
responsible for what they did?
She says, Well, I'm what
Unknown: I did. And I was hoping
they'd find out was related to
Mussolini or something. Like
that came up. My
Adam Curry: word.
John C Dvorak: Can't Rachel
Dolezal or whatever name it
comes to mind.
Adam Curry: I mean, can't you
just can't you just say, Hey,
okay, it's all right. You know,
it's all right. You're not
responsible for for something
that happened hundreds of years
ago. You know, but you do have
to pay now obviously, sonny, you
got to join in the payments, and
you can't take any payments
because you're white deeply or
moved to San Francisco. Maybe
you can still get a good deal
Unknown: controversial, Kaylee
for two reasons. One people
receiving your tax dollars with
no requirement they work and
secondly, should they be getting
that money based solely on skin
color. The lawsuit says San
Francisco and California
illegally give out millions each
year to minorities and trans
women based solely on race and
gender identity through these
three programs. The black
economic equity project hands
out 500 A month exclusively to
young Black Bay Area residents.
The guaranteed income project
for trans people that pays 1200
hours a month provided black,
indigenous Latino and
transgender right and the
abundant birth project gives
$1,000 a month solely to
pregnant black and Pacific
Islander women. Each
of these three programs
qualifies and disqualifies
individuals from participation
and benefits based on their
race. That's what they do.
The birth project defends the
age saying black Pacific
Islander women have higher rates
of premature birth.
This risk is primarily due to
racism, both structural racism
and the racism that birthing
people and mothers experience
when they're interacting with
physicians and other medical
providers. Still,
critics say it's illegal to
exclude white and Latino women,
especially those with higher
risk of complication. Now Mayor
London breed supports all three
programs, though none require
work example. The $1,200 stipend
will be provided to participants
so they may focus on their basic
physical and mental health and
wellness without worrying about
income according to gift. So all
three programs Kay Lee declined
interviews. The Mayor's office
says the programs are legal and
they look forward to going to
court. Yeah,
Adam Curry: the answer of course
is not to take that money away
but to give it to all people.
California UBI incoming Ah,
yeah, we
John C Dvorak: got nothing but
money here.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you guys are
loaded on the board trains
Unknown: good. Planes bad.
Adam Curry: Oh, such a
controversy, controversy. Oh my
goodness, we have to weigh the
passengers. Oh, we need weight
and balance. Everybody's all up
in arms about fin air. This
morning
Unknown: the Scandinavian
airline fin air inviting
passengers to be weighed in
along with their carry on
baggage. The airline says the
goal is to collect anonymous
data on average weight of
passengers with their hand
luggage for the purpose of
aircraft balance and performance
calculations that are needed for
the safe operation of flights.
So far. 600 passengers have
volunteered for the survey,
airlines use an average for male
and female and for summer and
for winter. And you need to
correct those every now and then
especially if the population has
gotten a bit more punchy. It
turns out the airline has been
doing this since 2018. And it's
completely voluntary. It's not
uncommon for some international
airlines to do wait surveys
every few years required by
their governing bodies every
five years you figured the
population changes a little bit
weight. And that's why these
chests are needed. And Finn air
is not alone Air New Zealand
weighed more than 10,000
passengers last June air in New
Zealand calling the survey
essential to the safe and
efficient operation of the
aircraft and that the pilot
needs to know the weight and
balance of a loaded plane before
takeoff. And Korean Air did it
in the fall saying collecting
this data was crucial for the
safety of flight operations. It
is
Adam Curry: just a survey It's
opt in. But of course, you know,
this is just crazy. We can, we
can, this is 20 Another
John C Dvorak: way I feel about
it go. People should be charged
based on their weight.
Unknown: And again, this is
completely voluntary. Nobody has
been forced to step on a scale
but when this happened it of
course certainly triggers a lot
of good questions, maybe even
some anxiety from a lot of
people. But Robin, you had a
good solution, just put the
whole plane on a scale.
Volunteer means you're not
getting the information that you
need. So when everybody's on
board, isn't there some way
technology you can I mean, 2024
we can figure that out. Because
as John said, we're getting
punchy.
Adam Curry: Do Yeah, so we put
the whole plane on a scale note
the weight and balance is
incredibly important. We
understand your your take on it.
Now. I'm going to connect this
to another story which is a
director of the story, but
weight and balance is very
important people.
Unknown: The investigation is
just getting started into a
helicopter crash in San
Bernardino County that killed
six people. The crash happened
around 10 o'clock last night
east of the 15 freeway near hell
Lauren springs. The crash site
is known for an abandoned gas
station with a sign that says
low gas and eat. It's very close
to the California Nevada border
about the 80 miles better effect
from Las Vegas. The Eurocopter
EC 120 took off from Palm
Springs airport was headed to
Boulder City, Nevada, but it
never made it. The CEO of one of
Nigeria's largest banks was on
board. Herbert Woodway, was
killed along with his wife and
son. Their identities were
confirmed by an official with
the World Trade Organization.
The National Transportation
Safety Board is on scene to lead
the investigation. One thing to
look at is the weather
conditions.
It was reported by witnesses
that there was rain with some
wintry mix. We currently have a
meteorologist working on our
team and we're working to
analyze and get the exact
weather conditions at that time.
The helicopter was not equipped
with either a flight data
recorder or a cockpit voice
recorder. A preliminary report
on the crash will be released in
a couple of weeks. The final
report could take anywhere from
12 to 24 months.
Adam Curry: So the banking CEO
was on his way to the Super Bowl
that was or at least that's the
report. This is interesting to
me because in 2001 I owned a
Eurocopter 120 I know a lot
about it. I've flown it myself.
No doesn't it's this is a
relatively it's a single engine
turbine helicopter. It's quiet
because as the patented
Eurocopter enclosed fin for the
tail rotor does not have a data
recorder for flight cockpit
recorder. It actually runs on
Windows NT which I never liked
when you start the helicopter.
You got to boot screen for NT
3.1. But the second report,
which is a report which is I'm
going to presume the reporter
got the information from the
from the from the charter
company tells me something was
very wrong,
Unknown: I would assume is
Reporter Lee and Souter joins us
live from Burbank with the
latest on the investigation.
Leanne
Tory that helicopter was
operated by Orbitz air base here
at the Burbank airport of pilot
as well as the Safety Pilot
we're on board along with four
passengers one of them the head
of a major Nigerian
Adam Curry: bank. Okay, this is
a five seat helicopter pilot
copilot or she called Safety
Pilot and three in the back if
there were four passengers you
are overweight so besides flying
in wintry conditions, some
somebody did something very
wrong here and I will wait for
the NTSB report or maybe they're
just full of crap and they don't
know. But it makes and also
Safety Pilot. That's usually
when when an owner is flying
himself the whole thing is
sketchy or they just wanted to
kill
John C Dvorak: it was sketchy to
me is there's a dead banker
Adam Curry: who just wanted to
kill a banker as possible
John C Dvorak: as possible. A
Nigerian yes a
Adam Curry: day record. Today
record is not good. So he has
John C Dvorak: something to do
with the Nigerian banking scheme
couldn't be and he is murdered.
Adam Curry: I think I think I
got an email from him some
point.
John C Dvorak: I got one too.
Funny thing.
Adam Curry: Hey, do you remember
that report? Was it your report
about the heads? Like some some
outfit where they just had heads
on tables? You remember that?
John C Dvorak: heads on and
tables? You're thinking that
Futurama
Adam Curry: No no, no, no, no,
there was some report you had we
were laughing I think we even
became a show title. It was like
the guy had heads every heads
cut baby's heads cut off or
something.
John C Dvorak: Oh snap one of my
gruesome reports. Well, then
here's
Unknown: mine. The biological
Resource Center was essentially
running a chop shop up for human
body parts mixing, matching and
selling them in ways we've never
heard of, until tonight
described as unsettling, but it
sounds a whole lot worse one FBI
agent revealing what it was
really like inside the Phoenix
body donation facility. In 2014.
He saw everything from buckets
of heads, arms and legs to
coolers filled with severed
penises when the FBI raided the
building
confused and angry. We thought
this was going to be doing some
good he
even thought it a smaller head
sewn onto a larger torso in a
quote Frankenstein manner
he wasn't nutrients we made
wasn't a choice the needs of
families made
body parts piled on top of each
other inside biological
resources. Were families donated
their loved.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, what was
the name of this restaurant
again?
Unknown: In a quote Frankenstein
manner,
it wasn't nutrients we made was
an interesting use of families
made body
parts piled on top of each other
inside biological Resource
Center, where families donated
their loved ones for medical
research, discoveries
of sickness and disease, maybe
come up with a cure.
Some say the company violated
everything they promised tragedy
that's never resolved, and it
just keeps going on and deeper
and deeper
dilemmas. According to that
agent with no apparent
identification. The company sued
months after the FBI raided
families claiming their loved
ones weren't treated with
dignity and respect, a promise
written on their own consent
forms. The company also accused
of selling body parts for profit
after saying they'd only use the
parts they needed and would
cremate the ones they didn't and
return them a torso with a head
apparently went for 2400 bucks
bargain a leg about 1100 Didn't
even sell knees and feet alone
for under 500. News everyone.
Adam Curry: Man, what is going
on in Phoenix?
John C Dvorak: This is a weird
story. I'll give you a clip of
the day for digging that went
out. Thank
Adam Curry: you. This one
deserves a lot more attention I
think. I want to know who was
ordering a body with a smaller
head sewn on. On what is
John C Dvorak: a whole bucket of
penises. I think that's a good
one and we're worried
Adam Curry: about Jeffrey
Epstein. What's going on in
Phoenix people what is
happening? What is going on?
That's just just I think we need
to go look at Taylor Swift.
Unknown: We all need to calm
down and I'm not talking about
the podcast I'm talking about
having Taylor Swift here. Yeah,
Adam Curry: my goodness. Hey, I
have a Super Bowl Super Bowl
clip, Super Bowl clip bought a
sports ball and then we can talk
about the big games.
Unknown: In a metropolis once
known as Sin City. The biggest
sin heading into Sunday evening
Super Bowl is not knowing that
this guy number 87 Is the
boyfriend of Taylor Swift.
Number 87 has a name Travis
Kelce. Star in American football
tournament for the Kansas City
Chiefs and a star for answering
repeated questions about his
love life.
Why do you think everyone's so
fascinated with you too? I think
the values that we stand for and
just you know who we are as
people.
Kelsey support extends to Taylor
Swift Fans Swifties half a world
away. Tokyo hosted the last of
four sold out concerts Saturday
evening.
Adam Curry: Monday we hadn't
really watched American football
until now. But because Taylor's
boyfriend place finally watched
it.
Unknown: We did the question on
so many lips after this last gig
and Tokyo will a private plane
get her back in time to as she
has in the past. Join other
players girlfriends wives and
family for the game WAGs she
should make it and that's good
news even for those who don't
count themselves as Swifties
John C Dvorak: she will be in
the house in the building for
the Super Bowl but I mean, I
love I
Unknown: think her attending
will bring in new eyes to the
sport I
think there will be a lot of
women who will probably shift
their attention to football
we should all be so lucky that
we'd have a significant other
wanted to support us in our job
right.
Adam Curry: It would be nice if
our families listened to our
show John right. Be honest about
it. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well yeah,
sometimes they do.
Adam Curry: So I like I liked
that they they brought the WAGs
acronym to America. Although
they sit in reverse order, you
know in the UK, it's always WAGs
wives and girlfriends. She's now
a WAG I think we should we
should perpetuate that mean wag
so yeah, I think NFL benefits
there's it's good very very good
progress.
John C Dvorak: It was done as a
publicity stunt. Let's face
reality.
Adam Curry: Well, shall we get
into the bedding because I've
learned a lot from CBS evening
news about proper bets and then
no prop
John C Dvorak: bets only maniacs
take dose. If this
Unknown: was the Super Bowl of
news stories, I bet anything
that people would bet on
anything from how many words
I'll say to whether I'll gesture
bar with my left hand or my
right. And when I eventually
throw this ball will make dog
catch it. These are called prop
bets. And in football, it means
betting on anything other than
the final score of the game. How
big is this gotten? It's gotten
much, much bigger than than even
the game. Rufus Peabody is a
professional better, and co
founder of unabated sports. Why
do you think the proliferation
of this? I think because people
have shorter attention spans now
than they used to? We want the
game to be more like a slot
machine and we do a sporting
event. To that end, you can now
bet on how long the national
anthem will be. Whether or not
someone will miss an extra
point. Will Taylor Swift be
caught on camera wearing a foam
finger? Will she wear red
lipstick, or some other color?
And my personal favorite when
the game ends? What shade of
Gatorade will get dumped on the
winning coach? What color will a
Gatorade bath be? Grown men have
actually been debating this all
week. Young people like blue
Gatorade,
although orange orange has moved
down to plus five hundreds.
And who stands to profit off all
this? Aside from the Gatorade
delivery guy? The sports books,
they're expecting 68 million
Americans to gamble $23 billion
on the Super Bowl this year.
Industry insiders estimate about
half that on these crazy side
bets. And so as we near the end
of this 273 word news story,
where I have gestured more with
my left hand and my right. Let
me ask you one final question.
How many of you have been
waiting around just to see if my
dog will catch this ball? It's
the same drama within a drama
that fuels this Super Bowl
betting frenzy. Shut
Adam Curry: up. So first of all,
did you get my check? No, no, I
send you the check sent to the
PIO box. You always told me to
send to the PIO box not to the
house. Okay,
John C Dvorak: well, eventually
you
Adam Curry: should have taken
the Bitcoin you would have had
10% more. And
John C Dvorak: then if I kept
the Bitcoin another week, it'd
be 10% Less, okay. And it'd be
10% more then it'd be 10% Less.
Okay, that'd be 10% more okay.
And then it'd be temporary. I
just rather have the cash. So
well, I thank you for that if
you did, and our our classic is
part of the degenerate gambler
syndrome. I've known these guys
who do this, which
Adam Curry: according to news
reports is now mainly in Vegas.
Certainly people over 80 years
old. They're all gambling crazy.
Did you know this? No. I
John C Dvorak: didn't hear about
the 80 year old
Adam Curry: dad grandma.
Apparently grandma is the is the
most frequent better on sports.
On the Super Bowl and prop bet
specifically, according to the
Guardian, I'll give it then
John C Dvorak: I find this hard
to believe. Okay. And then I've
hung out in sports books down
there. I don't see any old
ladies. It just doesn't make
sense. But the inveterate
degenerate gambler, they are
ended this invites, which I
think and I think the two of us
kind of agree on this is that
most of these games are rigged.
Adam Curry: Well, so So now we
get down to the nitty gritty. Is
this peak Swift? Or is there yet
another peak to come? Because I
mean, what what
John C Dvorak: we can eat it?
Oh, hold on, what could there be
after this? Well, if they let's
say the Chiefs win or lose the
Super Bowl is this make Taylor
more or less popular? Depending?
Depending on the outcome of the
game?
Adam Curry: I think she, I mean,
I'm just looking at the at the
laws of
John C Dvorak: nature. Would it
be set up for them to lose? So
today, we're gonna have a
sympathetic Oh, poor Taylor. No,
Adam Curry: no, I'm looking at
the laws of nature. The laws of
nature dictate if you use the
media, which is your assertion
that they are using the media to
promote themselves but to
promote the NFL that it's a
publicity stunt. The law of
nature requires particularly in
America, but also in the UK is
very good at it, that the
boomerang comes around and chop
your head off and they and they
just excoriated you and they,
they just kick you down into the
mud. So of course you can then
be the comeback kid in a few
years. See Oda cog.
John C Dvorak: She doesn't need
to be a comeback kid.
Adam Curry: She will have if
she's, if she's, you know,
bashed into the mud because she
distracted Kelsey and he fumbles
the ball. The 40 Niners pick it
up I think even mahomes
quarterbacks gonna pick it up
he's gonna run it all the way to
the endzone wins the game
mahomes
John C Dvorak: is with the
chiefs.
Adam Curry: Oh shoot wrong
sports team
John C Dvorak: always comes out
Adam Curry: my basic thesis
remains Do you think she's going
to be on the quarterback
John C Dvorak: of the other team
wouldn't be picking it up would
not be we wouldn't be on the
field. I gotta be a defensive.
Adam Curry: We all know I'm not
a sports ball guy. But I am
feeling I am feeling of loss for
the chiefs. I'm Taylor getting
blamed for it. That's it's just
the law of nature. Now, it could
happen that we're not at peak
swift yet. And then what?
John C Dvorak: Okay, the every
time you say that, I'm going to
ask the same question. How can
how if this isn't going to be
peaks with you? What will be I
don't see any other opportunity.
This is right now left at the
White House. She just finished
the arrows tour. Yes.
Adam Curry: So the White House
at the White that's that would
be peaks with cheese when Kelsey
John C Dvorak: Irwin and she
goes to the White House with
Kelsey and the rest of the team.
Yes.
Adam Curry: And then they take
pictures of her in the Oval
Office in the President's chair.
Peaks removed. We've got to hit
it eventually. You've got to hit
it eventually it nobody stays on
top forever. You
John C Dvorak: just I understand
that and I'm in total agreement
with the thesis that people who
overdo it with the media get
shot down to those normal
chopped down as Yes, always.
Adam Curry: They always do. I
don't want it for her but I'm
just calling reality.
John C Dvorak: I think we could
want it for it's not a big deal.
Like she just can't afford it
like Brittany's latest thing or
she's dancing in a devil's
costume on Tik Tok?
Adam Curry: Or Britney man, poor
Britney is a wreck. For Britney.
John C Dvorak: I had a friend
who was a personal assistant to
Brittany. Really? Yeah, he is a
software guy. And he is over gay
now. But he was a personal
assistant. He worked for the
Britney group. And he said, that
is so bad that the whole thing
is so pathetic that one day, she
came up to him and said, I can't
remember his first name. But she
said Do you know how I can find
it? Well, how much money is in
my bank account? Okay. And he
was taken aback by that thinking
holy mackerel, what are they?
They're just keeping her in the
dark about everything. Oh,
Adam Curry: there was a
question. It wasn't like a
riddle. It was like, Can you Can
I? How can I find out?
John C Dvorak: It was a
question. How did she doesn't
know how to access her bank
Adam Curry: account? No, no, she
but she's been abused. This is
an abused woman.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, totally.
Very abused.
Adam Curry: This is a very sad
story. You ever see her dancing
on her on her Instagram?
John C Dvorak: When he was on
the Instagram or Tiktok
recently, and this Delos guy
didn't see that? Well. It just
came out. Oh.
Adam Curry: I just showed up in
your timeline. No,
John C Dvorak: it showed up. I
think it showed up on no agenda.
No. Social you haven't seen the
one day I was in? I think I was
in Singapore. Yeah. I was in
Singapore. And there were these
pictures of some model all over
the there's like a, like a
elevated train or something in
the element pole poster, this
huge picture of this gorgeous
model. And I said, What Who is
this woman? I've never seen her
before. And the guy says to me
is Dr. Mirror and he says oh,
that's Britney Spears. I've seen
Britney Spears. It doesn't look
anything like Britney Spears.
But it was they had her made up
with a really dark eyes and it
was just a spectacular look. And
it's just as though this woman
probably had to cash flow for
her must have been unbuilt. It
still must be but she's been
just totally robbed. Yeah, yeah,
it's a sad story.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna go to
before we take our break, I want
to take a quick little trip to
what's happening with with
China. So the all the sheriffs
were called to Washington DC
earlier this week. And they all
came back with a similar report
including our sheriff here in
Gillespie County. Remember,
Unknown: I've told you this, and
I don't want to be this is not
our sheriff by the way. This is
Butler County was a Chicken
Little that says the sky is
falling. And nobody believed
him. And I want to tell you that
it's going to happen
here. Sheriff Richard Jones
believe terrorists are living
among us already. This concern
is being raised after he heard
the FBI Director speak to
sheriffs from across the country
last week after hearing those
remarks. He believes in attack
is coming and he's said some
attacks have already started in
the form of cyber attacks. And
they're coming after his
department daily. I was
told today, that five times a
day China tries to hack our
computer system. Butler County,
Ohio, just as county in the of
one of
3300. Immediately upon his
return from Washington, DC, the
sheriff started making changes.
He's ordering more ammunition
for his officers. And he's also
stocked each sheriff's cruiser
with an AR 15. On top of that,
he's ramping up the citizen
police academy training
sessions. We
want you to be concerned now,
you're a fool if you don't
listen to the chatter. And when
the federal government says it's
they're here. And it's common.
We want to educate them and
we're going to increase our
citizens on patrol. And we're
going to be the police.
The sheriff has concerns about
hacking, tampering with the
sheriff's office, the board of
elections, the power grid, and
cell towers. Don't
have to believe me at all. If
you want to. You don't have to
be trained in firearms. When we
call you you can go hide in your
basement, build a safe room.
Good luck for you. So
John C Dvorak: what guy sounds
just like Lindsey Graham.
Adam Curry: So what this is
about is on the heels of the of
this speech, which I think
actually this is 10 days ago
February 1 Tonight,
Unknown: the FBI Director
sounding the alarm about Chinese
efforts to attack American power
grids, transportation systems
and communications networks.
John C Dvorak: China's hackers
are positioning on American
infrastructure in preparation to
wreak havoc and cause real world
harm to American citizens and
Adam Curry: communities. This is
a very underreported testimony
Unknown: and Christopher Ray
announcing a major takedown of a
Chinese hacking operation on
American soil. Dubbed volt
typhoon
John C Dvorak: working with our
partners, the FBI ran a court
authorized on network operation
to shut down volt typhoon and
the access it enabled steps.
China was taking in other words
to find and prepare to destroy
or degrade the civilian critical
infrastructure that keeps us
safe. And prosperous.
Unknown: Ray and other officials
say China poses the world's
greatest cyber threat, and they
warned that Americans remain
vulnerable. US cybersecurity
chief Jen easterly describing
the devastating impact of a
potential massive Chinese cyber
attack telecommunications
going down so people can't use
their cell phone. People start
getting sick from polluted
water. Trains get derailed air
traffic control system port
control systems are
malfunctioning. This is truly
and everything everywhere. All
at once scenario.
Easterly said China believes
that sort of cyber attack would
crush any American will to
defend Taiwan from a Chinese
invasion. In a statement to NBC
News a Chinese government
spokesman denied China hacks
into foreign networks calling it
irresponsible criticism.
Adam Curry: Okay, what is this
about? They're scaring people
probably unnecessarily seems a
little odd that they're going to
take down cell phone water plans
air traffic control, it's not
like polluted water somehow like
it was one switch you throw in
everything goes down and then
scaring these Lindsey Graham
Podunk sheriff's into believing
that China's hacking your your
very own computer systems of
course, five times a day that's
nothing five times a day is
nothing we get 50,000 pings from
all over the world every day.
Yeah, at least and it's all just
bought remember
John C Dvorak: that program that
used to be sold it was like a
shields up kind of a thing and
it will use a bit in the corner
would tell you how many people
were trying to attack you oh the
pew pew map No, no, not that pew
pew Matthews a product on your
own computer. And it was just
show a just a laundry list of IP
addresses coming in hitting your
machine. And it was just never
ending it was just like one
after another after another
after another was like by the
end of the day there were at
eight people somebody in the
zone alarm is being visited zone
alarm. Yes. Yeah. And it was
just constant because that's
what's goes on that's what five
times why
Adam Curry: is the FBI why are
they doing this? I mean it's
it's week cycle has something to
do with Iraq. Okay, six weeks
cycle and then you know, they
they got volts typhoon
John C Dvorak: G's, whatever
that is. And
Adam Curry: maybe it's to beef
up military industrial complex
purchasing for the Taiwan
invasion or whatever. I mean, I
don't like it.
John C Dvorak: Now the whole
thing if I had never even heard
that this was news to me. So
they're doing a shit job.
Adam Curry: That's what I'm
saying this well, this. I think
that's why they pulled all the
sheriffs in because this was
February 1, when we I didn't
play this report at the time but
we had it as NBC Nightly News.
So because they
John C Dvorak: can't get enough
people worked up about it
because I think I think there's
enough computer literate people
that just soon as you say the
Chinese are trying to attack us
five times a day. You have to
roll your eyes. Yeah. Yeah. So
if they're going to try to
attack us, it's going to be
10,000 times an hour.
Adam Curry: What people really
should do is just never watch
any news at all. Listen to us.
Twice a week. Just listen to us
once a week. You'll get all the
news, you'll find out what's
going on. Is true by People
magazine curl up with a glass of
Chardonnay, by the way people
magazine it's like it's only 10
pages. Have you seen this thing
in the supermarket? No, I
haven't. Oh, it used to be the
Bible. And now it's just a
little thing little thin. It
looks like 10 Maybe 20 pages top
and it's always got a celebrity
with cancer on the front Wow,
it's really bad is bad No, I
mean, people editor don't worry
about it. This is all just meant
to spin you up and you know
what? I'm saying this is an
elder so so here you go again,
so you can rest you
John C Dvorak: can write an
elder that's it. Showtime the
elder There you go.
Adam Curry: Here's something we
should be worried about. This
Unknown: is how Hong Kong rings
in the Year of the Dragon 1000s
of people flocked to this famous
temple to offer their first
incense at the altar at midnight
to mark the very beginning.
Lunar New Year,
Adam Curry: it's Lunar New Year,
John. That's how it started last
time as a traditional
Unknown: ritual worshipers
believe that the earlier they
make their offerings, the better
luck they will have in the year
ahead. So
Adam Curry: everyone's traveling
around China traveling around
the world going to Italy.
Remember that was wasn't
everything wasn't the spread of
COVID being blamed on the Lunar
New Year traffic? No, they cut
it off. Or they did cut it off.
Well, how come they let them go
this time? Because they
John C Dvorak: did Chinese have
this tradition of taken off and
lunar near New Year. They're
just like the number of travel
miles they run through is
unbelievable. Well, I have one
hope that door plugs? Yes. Okay.
Besides the meta AI,
Adam Curry: I want to I want you
to do the right
John C Dvorak: let's play this
is meta versus AI versus PBS
earlier this
Unknown: week as the 2024
election campaigns picked up
steam. Mehta announced it would
start labeling AI generated
images that appear on Facebook,
Instagram and threads to help
users better judge what they're
seeing. In December, an advocacy
group called Free Press said
meta YouTube and X have rolled
back a total of 17 policies
intended to protect against hate
speech and misinformation. Oh,
Adam Curry: so they finally have
AI that can identify AI.
John C Dvorak: Well, hold on.
First of all, how does this this
is this whole beginning of this
whole premise for this report is
a non sequitur. Yeah, he's
talking about meta at helping
the public by identifying AI
images on the on its site, and
then it switches so they're not
doing anything.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the stock will
be 800. Before you know it.
Unknown: The group also said
layoffs. If the three companies
make it harder to enforce the
safeguards that remain, oh, we
need some government money.
Katie Harbeth is the chief
global affairs officer at duco,
which is a technology consulting
firm. She's also a former public
policy director at Facebook.
Katie, this announcement from
Mehta how big a deal is that?
How helpful is this going to be?
And is it enough?
So I think that this is just one
of many important steps that all
have to take when thinking about
safeguarding elections, not only
here in the United States, but
around the globe. And so we are
facing new challenges with AI as
well as existing challenges that
have been around for a long
time, such as missing
disinformation, foreign
interference, transparency
around political ads. And I
think one of the challenges as
we go into this cycle, is that
that question of whether or not
these platforms are prepared is
we just don't know because they
are also putting in a lot of
investment. They're making a lot
of changes, as you mentioned,
but we also don't know the
twists and turns that await for
us over the course of this next
year. And so the real question,
the real proof of this will be
how these companies act as these
different elections happen. And
as we see different forms of
nefarious interference happen,
Adam Curry: you know, now that
Zuckerberg got spanked, maybe,
maybe they're wising up a little
bit and it's like, you know,
maybe we should be doing some AI
for one of these teams. Or be
labeling stuff that's real is
fake.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what
that's gonna happen for sure.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, the
White House just announced
they're going to
cryptographically verify
official communication comes as
AI deep fakes surge. So the I
guess they're putting their
press releases on the
blockchain. This year.
John C Dvorak: They're gonna use
micro dots.
Adam Curry: See a surge in
blockchain? Sam Altman Raceway,
they
John C Dvorak: got part three of
this. Oh, I'm sorry. This
Unknown: is one of the biggest
open questions for me. Many of
the some of the platforms such
as meta have actually announced
things that they're doing for
the upcoming Indonesian
elections for the Mexico
elections coming up. But they're
just not being as transparent
about that, and what that means
around the globe. Traditionally,
we have seen just a lot more
time, money and effort put into
the English language into
elections in the US and the EU.
And I am worried that so much
attention is going to get sucked
into those elections that we
will forget about these
elections all around the globe,
that will have just as much
impact in terms of the future of
the global world order. And how
many Oh, no on everything from
from climate change to other
geopolitical issues.
John C Dvorak: Climate change,
turn
Adam Curry: off your
televisions, people shut down
your social media accounts.
Don't look at it. Just look at
the floor. The spinning will go
away. It's okay. It's okay. Sam
Altman is really smart though.
He is now raising quote
trillions of dollars to build AI
chips. That's where the money
is. In in raising money not I
don't think the
John C Dvorak: No that's your
you nailed it. Yeah, embrace.
The money is raising money is in
raising money. And then
Adam Curry: the big news, Google
barf, no longer known as Google
barf. It's now Gemini. They've
they've they've rebranded to
Gemini.
John C Dvorak: What was it
before?
Adam Curry: Barf?
John C Dvorak: That was a bar
Adam Curry: that was barred.
Google barred we dubbed it barf.
Okay, but but but check it out.
So Gemini, you can use Google
Gemini. But then if you really
want to use it, you have no
business model that you Oh, you
gotta get Gemini Pro for $20 a
month. I mean, there's no
business model. Yeah, they're
doing like premium content. If
you want the real deal, you got
to you got to get on board you
got to buy it. I don't think
this is a very good idea. These
guys know how to do advertising.
That's their business still,
isn't it?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's
their whole damn Yeah, how
they're gonna do it so well.
Every time they trade they
venture off into something else
they get all jacked up about it
they make a little money like a
very low margin money and then
they said this is no good we
can't get by with this low
margin money. Let's cancel it
and screw everyone who adopted
it.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd
like to thank you for your
courage say in the morning to
you the man who bought the see
and committing journalism say
hello to my friend on the other
end and we're only missing
John's
John C Dvorak: morning yo, Mr.
Adam curry in the morning little
chips and seal boots on the
ground feet in the air subs in
the water dams and nights out
there. And
Adam Curry: in the morning to
all the trolls and the troll
room. Hello, trolls. Hold on.
Let's see last Sunday, we had
2123 currently 2045 So we're
down down a little bit down a
little bit but it's a Sunday.
John C Dvorak: We talking about
Africa.
Adam Curry: Oh my god. I had I
had Africa clips. Well, we did
we Yes. We talked about the
Nigerian guy. Boom. That's why
we talk about the Nigerian guy.
There's African guy killed in a
helicopter tune in now. Hello
there trolls. We love you. We
love you being here in our troll
room listening to the ChIAT. And
to the shy to the show live the
shy of the shy of llove s right?
I'm really confused today. It's
a Super Bowl Sunday. I'm all
jacked up. It's all crazy. So
what's going on?
John C Dvorak: Trying to watch
this game? Yeah, of course.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna watch the
game. How
John C Dvorak: could I watch all
those ads? Because every ad you
have the ad for this year Super
Bowl is $7 million for 30
seconds.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's a little
bit more than most podcast ads.
They were the ads on Joe Rogan
show. There's no ads.
John C Dvorak: I have not brand
safe,
Adam Curry: but I haven't heard
well. It's supposed to be $250
million. I haven't heard an ad
yet. Maybe on Spotify, but I
don't think he's in every
podcast app now. Which is cool.
I now you know, because I wasn't
really a Spotify guy. Anyway, $7
million. Now I'm more interested
in the halftime. I like the
spectacle. The television event
itself. I
John C Dvorak: hate the halftime
show. I always think it's lame.
It's lip synced. It's garbage.
Adam Curry: I like the
television production of the
Superbowl itself. I like the how
the game is done. I like the
technical events they put in
there like the camera shots they
do. I'm always very it's really
a the pinnacle of television.
Well, I'll
John C Dvorak: tell you the
pinnacle of television for me
recently, and I have to do this,
Sir, the thing you be ever
interested in even watching, but
I caught most of it or not most
of it a lot of it. Yeah. And it
was called the NFL honors
awards.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're right. I
would not watch that. No. It
John C Dvorak: was so
unbelievably produced. It looks
like I'd say if you were in the
year 2500. And you were watching
TV, this is what it would look
like, Oh, now I have to go back
and look at it. You can find it.
I mean, it was spectacular. And
if it doesn't win some sort of
an award, it won't buy the Emmys
or somebody's an Emmy show. So I
mean, it's an Emmys category. I
don't know what they're
thinking. It was just amazing.
was so well done. I mean, it's
just I've never seen anything as
good.
Adam Curry: Are people still
yakking about the Superbowl
commercials? They show them all
ahead of time? I haven't looked
at anything.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Not as much
as they did. 10 years ago.
Adam Curry: Any what's Bud Light
doing bud? Lights got to do some
big. Okay, they
John C Dvorak: got a couple of
humorous commercials. They're
going back to
Adam Curry: humor. Yeah, they do
some self deprecating humor. And
they're smart. If they're smart.
Well, they're
John C Dvorak: not that smart.
And then there was an American
brand. Oh, these poor American
brands being no no, no, no, I
had a bunch of Belgium. No,
Adam Curry: that's what Trump is
saying. Trump is saying don't go
too hard on Anheuser Busch
because farmers you're not
seeing this. No. Yeah, he posted
that to Anheuser Busch uses a
lot of extra is interesting. I
think it's a lot of barley or
hops. I think Anheuser isn't
Budweiser made from rice?
John C Dvorak: I think it's
rice. And I think it's rice
barley. Well hops for sure. You
have to ya gotta
Adam Curry: have hops. Oh, yeah.
No, he was like, Whoa, don't be
so harsh on Bud Light. You are
John C Dvorak: using a lot of
local products, but it's still a
Belgian company. Yes.
Adam Curry: Well, he wasn't
toting the American nature of
the business. He was touting the
American farmers that produce a
lot of barley for the beer. That
was that's what he was saying.
So Alright, anyway, trolls thank
you for being here. We

people miss out on that often.
They miss out on a lot of good
content. But yeah, it's
John C Dvorak: reminds me I had
to add my value a commentary
today because I finally got a
hold of the board dose superior
2021 Ah, yes,
Adam Curry: this is your value
for value commentary. This is a
wine tip from JCD.
John C Dvorak: So this wine
comes out. People have just been
out for a few months, but it
finally came into my Costco. And
I was you know, Pooh poohing the
idea of this is going to be any
good because 2020 was not a
great year in Bordeaux, but I
think they did a selection which
is a term they use in the
business for you know, being
very careful with grapes you use
to try to make a good wine from
a mediocre vintage. And, you
know, it's not as bad as I
thought it would be. I don't
think I'm gonna get a case of
it. But I can't say that is
terrible.
Adam Curry: Okay, what's the
price? 798
good price. I was talking to
someone just about this the
other day. They mentioned that.
Hey, you guys always have the
Costco tips. Yes, right. Usually
my you must be a donation
segment listener. Why yes, I am.
He said, No. That's value.
John C Dvorak: That's value
Ordos. Superiore 2021 Check it
out. It is a little light in the
mid palate, but except for that
it's drinkable.
Adam Curry: For all you mid
palate drinkers out there, be
warned. So there's many ways you
can give value back time,
talent, treasure, you can do
things for the show. You can
promote the show you can I mean,
we have people to We're running
servers for the show all kinds
of things. Doing meetups,
arranging meetups. Our artists
are the ones who really go all
out during the show they listen
live, create artwork right after
we're done right after we closed
down the show, we immediately
start doing credits and look for
a piece of art. And we want to
thank you areas comics or
Blogger. If you persevere
eventually, eventually you'll
get there and he brought us the
artwork for episode 1632 titles
king for a day, and he had there
were some commentary on the dog
but we liked the Pomeranian and
he had the simple Don't eat me
Obama, right since we know that
Obama ate dogs as a kid. Little
known fact except here on the
best podcast in the universe,
and it truly was the best piece
I'm gonna take a look and see
what what we have what choices
we had you have the Art
Generator up as well. Let's take
a look. Thank you, Sir Paul
couture for the Archon right
another great piece of value for
value. And it was no GI Joe. But
it was it made us laugh. I mean,
we both just laugh we couldn't
help but laugh look at a piece
John C Dvorak: there's a cute
piece he's what else was up
there? There's nothing
Adam Curry: but we had the SEAL
Team 33 Universal Music Group
behind the gate now citizen
Trump a lot of shoes
John C Dvorak: jokes. A lot of
seven piece pizzas. Yeah, yeah,
we
Adam Curry: wish we'd looked at
and it wasn't the pieces weren't
good. It's just if you were
there was really no joke there.
You know, Putin and Tucker
eating pizza a lot of know
Spotify, why we even show their
logo
John C Dvorak: isn't happening
now. No,
Adam Curry: it comics are
blocked. A Taylor Swift peaks,
we're not going to put Taylor
Swift on her honor album, Mart.
That's just not going to happen.
John C Dvorak: For more than one
reason. Why don't you name them?
Well, the main reason is you
can't use celebrity pictures to
advertise a product that you're
doing no matter what you think.
And you can't. And it doesn't
and all that fair use rules
don't necessarily apply. You
just can't do it. Right.
Adam Curry: So people are
already putting Taylor Swift out
there for this show. It's not
gonna happen. It's just not
gonna happen. Thank you very
much comics for Blogger. We
appreciate all of our artists
who do this work. It's not easy
it's a it's often thankless
because you know, you we can
only pick one and we do pick
one. So the next best thing is
to provide honest feedback which
we find to be constructive for
artists because this is the
drill you go through when you're
when you're trying to create art
for for clients. And most of
them will just won't even call
you back. Yeah, thanks for your
submission. Well, you know,
don't call us we'll call you. At
least we call you back and let
you know, we thought Now, let us

desperately in need of care.
She was in shock and hypothermic
so she didn't really have any
fight left on her. She was you
know, she would have definitely
died. The staff at the
wildlife and needs Center took
to her quickly leaving naming
her Frannie after the st while
she recovered,
all you could see was no broken
bones, which was a good thing,
because that's a lot longer to
fix.
After more than two weeks and
treatments,
the wildlife and needs center
felt Franny was ready to go back
home and it's the while
anytime it's a release as a best
case scenario. That's our goal
is to always release and back
into the wild. Give them that
second chance at life. Because
they all deserve to live.

all deserve to live.
