John C Dvorak: Oh, everything is
going to be electronic.
Unknown: Adam curry Jhansi
Devora April 25 2024.
Adam Curry: This Year Award
winning give our nation media
assassination episode 1654. This
is no agenda, revealing repose
and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country
here and FEMA reached number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley, where we're
wondering why people do weird
rants while sitting in the front
seat of their car, and Genesee
Devorah. Hill?
Adam Curry: Well, that is yes,
that is the collapse of society.
Of course. That's, that's the,
we'll have that and electro
lights. That's, that's the
future. renting your car, and
electro lights in your belly.
That's it. That's it. And you
notice everyone's always sitting
on the left hand side because
somehow their cameras always
mirror them. Yeah, isn't that
weird?
John C Dvorak: That's true.
Adam Curry: I don't understand.
I don't understand why those
cameras don't automatically just
flip it around.
John C Dvorak: You can flip it.
I'm sure there's a button you
can push. I
Adam Curry: think so. You think
so. But they don't.
John C Dvorak: They don't care?
No, they're in their car.
screaming their heads off and
then posting it ranting.
Adam Curry: Yes, that's, that is
what influencers do. John,
haven't you? Haven't you heard
all the kids are doing it?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we don't
want to go to first person was
this is something that has not
been explored is very common.
Who is the first person who in
their car produced an online
rant? Well, that's sitting down
in the driver's seat and yakking
away at the camera in the car,
and then posting it. There's a
number one, JFK
Adam Curry: says the troll room?
No, no, JFK is not right. Yeah,
honestly. One of my early daily
source codes I did in the car.
There's even a picture of me in
the New York Times doing a
podcast from the car now wasn't
with
John C Dvorak: you or the
Genesis wasn't? It?
Adam Curry: Wasn't video though.
It's not quite the same thing.
ranting randomly.
Yeah. Well, and that was never
video. And it has to be I don't
know. I don't know. That person
deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
Just like, maybe
John C Dvorak: Jenna Marbles? I
don't think so. Whatever
happened to her? I
Adam Curry: don't know what who
was Jenna Marbles?
John C Dvorak: I forget who she
is. But she was one of the early
infant online influencers. And
she, she at one point, I think
she broke down and gave up on
it. And made a big guest scene.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, I do
remember this. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that was she was
the stage name. She wasn't
really Jenna Marbles.
Adam Curry: So. So that's an
annoying thing. But there's
something else that has cropped
up. Well, there's a couple
things. Do you ever go on X or
any? Any social media at all
anymore? Or is that go go away
with your phone? You just threw
that out?
John C Dvorak: I never went on
social media with my phone. No,
I
Adam Curry: mean, but you'd go
on social media at all. You look
at x.
John C Dvorak: I course I look
at x headline x all the time.
Okay, so
Adam Curry: I just gotta say
something. I I don't think that
every famous woman who's an
actress or is a performer. I
don't think they're all dudes.
This is getting a little
annoying. People keep posting
pictures. Like here's Britney
Spears. What do you notice?
John C Dvorak: I have not I'm
not in that thread here.
Adam Curry: Every woman's that
dude. Yeah. Jennifer Aniston.
Dude, Matt. It's now Jennifer
Madison is what they're calling
her. It's really rampant.
Everyone's just calling women
dudes. Now. It's has something
to do with the whole you know,
women and men in women's sports.
It's like it's a thing. So
everybody's regression. Yes.
Twisting everybody's brain. Oh,
yeah. No, you just see a dude
and everything. You got to
question yourself if you're
seeing that. Like that's a
little concerning. And then the
other one. It's between r and Y
on your keyboard. Using this?
No.
John C Dvorak: Ah, you're
keeping me up? I'm glad. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So if you're on
Twitter, and it's between r and
Y on your keyboard, that's a T
and you hit the T then it brings
up the the menu to repost or
retweet. But it but immediately
from what I understand just a
plain T. Yeah. Oh no. Do they
have to hit Ctrl? Oh, no, it
didn't. Oh, you didn't know
that. If you go on Twitter. You
can even use your J and K keys
for up and down. And yeah, it's
a complete To complete Linux,
you want to call it vim vi vi
Keymapping. You can do WordStar.
Okay, remapping to WordStar but
what it does is it creates an
interaction on that post. So
people get a hit for it or
something. I think that's what's
taking place. Tense. It's
everyone's scam and everything
that get everything get
eyeballs, I need eyeballs. I'm
an influencer and your eyeballs.
Pay attention to me. Anyway,
amidst all of this nuttiness
that's going on, which we
obviously will discuss, because
there's four, four areas now.
Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Hamas,
Taiwan, China, tic tock. But
what's happened today just kind
of got snuck in and there wasn't
a lot of chatter about it.
Unknown: Net Neutrality is
making a comeback with an FCC
vote today. And that means that
internet providers will not be
able to speed up or even slow
down certain web traffic.
Adam Curry: I love that they're
bringing this old trope back.
Oh, it's, it's, it's so they
won't be able to slow down your
speed. Slow down your speed. Who
is there anybody raise your hand
that has a slowed connection?
This is this isn't an
anachronism. This is a thing of
510 years ago. But now they're
still playing it off like hey,
these idiots they'll believe
anything. Yeah, man. It's
slowing down by CompuServe.
Unknown: Certain web traffic.
Now new FCC rules banned
blocking, throttling, or even
disadvantaging certain content
apps or services. They also bar
prioritizing them in return for
payment. And FCC vote under the
Obama administration is what put
net neutrality in place to begin
with, you would get AOL and
CompuServe. And services like
that saying,
Adam Curry: This isn't Eli
Patel, of course, the lawyer,
well, we provide email services,
Unknown: and you can make
websites no shopping. So we're
more than simply utilities. And
what's happened over time is
that consumers don't want to get
that stuff from their broadband
provider. So it has been gone
since 2018, due to a later FCC
decision under the Trump
administration. But this time
around the FCC, as you just
heard is taking into account
some modern uses of smartphones
and other devices. So the FCC
says it could take a couple of
months before these rules get
put into place. Now
Adam Curry: I want to get
everybody's head on straight
before you go. Because this is
only one thing and one thing
only which we have explained
over and over again. And every
single time we do it. It's very
controversial. People come out
of the woodwork and go, that's
not this net neutrality is
really important noon is better
voice is really important, man.
This is their will. So now your
ISP will be forbidden, listen
carefully from blocking or
throttling any legal traffic,
legal transfer again, and there
will be protests and they're
allowed to shape their traffic,
and they will be able to
throttle or block certain
protocols that they do not deem
to be legal. I can think of a
few How about Tor? Tor, Tor
John C Dvorak: gets blocked
everywhere top of the list.
Hello. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Because you know,
you can set up a web server at
home with Tor. You don't need
anything, just that's the dark
web. So that'll that'll be on
deck and then torrent. They'll
block that traffic. And
actually,
John C Dvorak: that will be that
will be at the top of the list.
Adam Curry: I think I think
it'll be the first parent
John C Dvorak: that copyright
paranoia of passing around stuff
is really
Adam Curry: that's what it's
always been for initially, but
now you know, it's dark webs
Dark Web as all dark web Dark
Web dark web. Yeah, Tor. So go
ahead, everybody have another
drink? Do you thought that
everyone thought tick tock tick
tock tick tock. The clock is
ticking on tick tock. But
meanwhile, they're just going to
be able to do anything they
want. Well, they
John C Dvorak: hope Wow.
Adam Curry: I mean, it'll I mean
John C Dvorak: they did work
arounds are just there's
Adam Curry: not really a
workaround at the ISP level for
Tor. If you want to serve Tor
from your home that I don't
think that's going to work. Oh
Phoebe's okay, you're good.
John C Dvorak: Don't think so?
Tor Tor Tor Tor it's
Adam Curry: okay you Good girl.
Good job. Good job.
John C Dvorak: By the way I
should mention it to you. Oh,
it's get a little annoying the
dog is in the background
barking. I think that dog
besides the fact that she has a
terrific bark she's got a
dimension to the show that no
other podcast has. I love it.
Adam Curry: Okay, you're on we
still have the painters here as
always
John C Dvorak: a double bark.
Dogs do the double bark that
means something to dogs. I don't
know why but woof woof woof No,
it's
Adam Curry: important. She's
she's got something to say
John C Dvorak: there's a single
wolf but then she'll do the damn
Double
Adam Curry: she does double
Wolf's she's good. Good girl.
Good job. Breaking breaking is
breaking breaking hot off the
press. The Harvey Weinstein
conviction has been overturned.
John C Dvorak: Here's Well
Adam Curry: it's interesting.
Our our lawyer, I'm just gonna
let her bark right because you
like it. Ruff ruff good Gurmeet
John C Dvorak: is really does
it's not that she's far enough
away that it doesn't really
interrupt the flow of the show.
It just adds to the sound
effect.
Adam Curry: I can make her I
mean, I could make her up.
Maybe. Okay, be quiet now. I
haven't enough. Good Camilla,
our lawyer Rob comes in. He says
it will be interesting to see
how this plays alongside the
current Trump prosecution. He
says it could possibly help
Trump depending on the outcome.
Okay. Depending on how they how
they, because this will go back
to the court. I believe. It has
to be returned to a trial court
with a trial we'll start over
again. Oh, yay. The more of
that. And the reason why is so I
take our lawyers. Word is
important here. defendant was
convicted by a jury for various
sexual crimes against three
named compelling items, and on
appeal claims that he was judged
not on the Conduct for which he
was indicted, but on irrelevant,
pre judicial and untested
allegations of prior bad acts.
We conclude that the trial court
erroneously admitted testimony
of uncharged alleged prior
sexual acts against persons
other than the complainants of
the underlying crimes. So here's
New York, New York trying to you
know, convict a former president
of all kinds of stuff, and then
letting an actual creep go. I
mean, it's just too beautiful to
believe. It really is. It's like
it's what and then and so if
eBay, good girl that worked. So
even on you know, on this
podcast, Hello, we're podcast.
We give you some real
information and how that might
actually be interesting in in
today's legal land, landscape.
Other podcasts like the Midas
touch. Well, they have
collaborating with the New York
Times and they've got some
outstanding reporting on Donald
Trump
Unknown: turning to the court
proceedings as well. Maggie
Haberman reports that Donald
Trump continued to fall asleep
during the proceedings as well.
And you know, what I'm hearing
from my sources as well is that,
you know, and I hearing from
credible sources, who know
what's going on in the
courtroom. What I'm hearing is
is that take it for what it's
worth, but that Donald Trump is
actually farting in the
courtroom is very stinky around
him.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's it's
wonderful. I mean, that is
fabulous report. This is the
level that we get from Maggie
Haberman no less, He's farting.
And this has been top of the
news everyone's Donald Trump is
and it's not just farting, John.
It's putrid odor
Unknown: in the courtroom, and
that Trump's lawyers are like
repulsed by the scent in the
smell. And I'm not I'm not just
saying that to be like, Oh,
Adam Curry: why are you doing
it? You should have said
breaking break. Hey,
Unknown: you know, we have good
sources there. And I'm hearing
it from actual credible people
that as he's kind of falling
asleep, he is actually passing
gas and that his lawyers are
really struggling with the
smell. I
Adam Curry: like that. I like
the addition that his lawyers
are really struggling with this.
I mean, do they do the other
lawyers keeling over? Are they
putting on gas masks? I mean, we
need to add this to the Trump
rotation.
John C Dvorak: I have my list
and you might want to see if
there's anything that this is
the Trump rotation is two
categories is irregular and then
there's the criminal but here we
go. Ready? Yeah. Liar,
incompetent, unhinged
illegitimate President white
supremacist, racist bully,
immature Russian agent,
narcissist. Mean long ties,
insane. Tweets too much small
hands, small penis big red
button, criminal. Mean racist,
immature, thin skinned, runs.
The mob has no money. Unstable,
fatter than 239 pounds. Bank
Robber 25th amendment and should
be instituted. He hates women
misogynist holds grudges forever
plays golf a lot obstruction of
justice, money laundering and
cloud. John
Adam Curry: There you go wonder
partying. We're making fun
Ready, Marcin
John C Dvorak: cork would be the
one I also never put on that
list that watches gorilla TV. My
all time favorite
Adam Curry: farts in court. I
mean Bart's in court. This is
your your media and alternative
media together cooperating with
sources, reliable sources.
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
Adam Curry: I mean, they
literally were talking about and
he's scowling. And he's he's
looking a realistic person, his
lips.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Rachel
Maddow got somehow God and she
was thankful that she got into
the court and she was talking
about how he scowling but you
wouldn't. I don't know about you
if you ever been to a court but
generally speaking, if you're in
the audience, you don't get to
see their faces. Know you're
behind them. But you know, the
guy is scowling. When you're
sitting behind him, which is
where you're seated seated,
you're not seated anywhere else.
Adam Curry: I think they're
they're looking at the court,
which is still always funny to
me that they have someone who
it's you can't have cameras in
the court, but you can have a
guide drawing. Yes, a guy
drawing. It's just literally a
caricature from someone who does
that Central Park. And it's
Trump, you know, the scout is
pushed lips,
John C Dvorak: I think they're
getting Rachel Maddow was going
on and on about how happy she
was to be there and he was
scowling. And he walked his
walks with a shuffle. I wish I
recorded this sounds good watch
with a shuffle. He looks like an
old man. He's taller than you
think. And it was just like, Who
What is this got to do with
anything? It's just a bunch of
it's so high schoolish
especially MSNBC, that it's an
embarrassment and these people
get paid. Rachel Maddow gets
literally gets millions of
dollars to work one day a week.
That's
Adam Curry: always a cry. And
you're, you're always mad about
that. Yeah. So then so then, you
know, this is affecting the
general population. Here's,
here's one we didn't expect.
This is from C span. Now,
there's a number of Trump
trials. So in this case, we're
talking about immunity. And it's
a little confusing, because all
the things he did on January 6,
he was still president. So you
know, view I presume that he has
immunity from anything he said.
He didn't go he didn't go and
bust down the doors at the
Capitol himself. But okay. And
somehow that gets conflated with
stuff he he's done after, or
wants to do after the election.
I mean, the whole thing is
weird. But now it seeps into the
brains of people. Let's go to C
span Democrat line. This is
David independent. Good morning.
Oh, I'm sorry. Independent.
Yeah. If
Unknown: if the court rules that
he is immune to end, the
President is immune to anything,
you know, actually, then the
President can could do anything
he wants to including
assassinating his political
opponents. So in that case, if
the court rules for for him,
President Biden could have him
assassin can have Trump
assassinated, and get away with
exactly what Putin and donor
Russia,
Adam Curry: really Russia now.
As great at that I had heard
that one. That's good. I like
that. And then we can put to
rest once and for all are
clearly incorrect assumption
that Obama could be prosecuted
for this. No, no, no,
John C Dvorak: I know where you
can be put to rest because it
was not addressed properly.
Adam Curry: Well, let's see. I
do about President Obama's drone
strikes. This is a justice
Cavanaugh asking the question.
The Office
Unknown: of Legal Counsel looked
at this very carefully and
determined that number one, the
Federal murder statute does
apply to the executive branch,
the president wasn't personally
carrying out the strike. But the
aiding and abetting laws are
broad. And it determined that a
public authority exception
that's built into statutes, and
that apply to particularly the
murder statute, because it talks
about unlawful killing, did not
apply to the drone strike. So
this is actually the way that
the system should function. The
Department of Justice takes
criminal law very seriously.
Through the analysis very
carefully, with established
principles, it documents them,
it explains them, and then the
President can go forward in
accordance with it, and there is
no risk of prosecution for that
course of activity.
Adam Curry: But of course,
you're right and I think it's
ignorance on the part of justice
Cavanaugh is part that he didn't
frame the question correctly.
John C Dvorak: It will not only
that, but he didn't do a follow
up that I can tell I mean, I
didn't get that little clips
been floating around. I don't
have the beginning Miranda I
don't even know is being played
today. And the follow up would
be with that so that even
includes the the assassinate the
the assassination by drone of an
American citizen that is exactly
what he should have followed up
with this and gotten it and if
they'd said yes to that. Great,
that's good to know.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but I don't
think he asked that. I don't
think Cavanaugh knows these
people don't know that stuff.
Well,
John C Dvorak: Kevin dropped the
ball. He was not his fault. It's
his staff.
Adam Curry: He was too busy
goofing. Phoebe It's okay. You
know who they are?
John C Dvorak: Who she barking
at?
Adam Curry: Well, the painters
are still just the last all day
John C Dvorak: the rafters is
it? Where's Where is? Oh,
Adam Curry: no important stuff
outside the house. She first you
went to New York and I was here
with the painters and that's
important stuff, man. She's
She's running this town. Running
this town. I do have a TRT
report about the Supreme Court
on former President Trump's
immunity. While the US press is
sniffing his farts. These guys
are actually doing some analysis
sitting
Unknown: in a courtroom day
after day. This will be Donald
Trump's life for the next few
weeks, and possibly for the next
several months as well. Trump
faces a total of four criminal
trials to hush money case
concerns allegations before he
became president. But the other
cases sent on his activities
while in office, most notably
the claim that he attempted to
overturn the results of the 2020
election. Today,
an indictment was unsealed.
Charging Donald J. Trump with
conspiring to defraud the United
States. This is
Adam Curry: the special
prosecutor he sounds out of
breath. He sounds weird, this
jack dude,
Unknown: conspiring to
disenfranchise voters, right,
and conspiring and attempting to
obstruct an official proceeding.
But
Trump's lawyers would argue that
making a president liable for
criminal charges would make the
job impossible. In their
submission to the court, they
say the threat of future
prosecution and imprisonment
would become a political cudgel,
to influence the most sensitive
and controversial presidential
decisions. And
I feel that as a president, you
have to have immunity. Very
simple. And if you don't, as an
example of this case, we're lost
on immunity. And I did nothing
wrong, absolutely nothing
working for the country.
In one sense, the court has
already handed Trump a victory
by agreeing to hear this case at
all. The former president had
been due to appear in court here
in Washington last month. But
the delay caused by this hearing
means the chances of him
appearing in another courtroom
before November's election. are
getting slimmer by the day.
There
Adam Curry: you go. Delay,
delay, delay delayed Lee, our
lawyer, Rob is the guy who is
listening to everything today
and he'll have a report for us.
So we'll know exactly what to
think. But that's better than
you know. Could it be a jury
intimidation if Trump is
farting? Is he intimidating the
jury?
John C Dvorak: This could be
something to do with gas
attacks.
Adam Curry: Chemical Warfare
chemical
John C Dvorak: warfare. Yeah,
that's it.
Adam Curry: I thought before we
just since there's there's so
many, I mean, there's a lot
going on. We're like in a in a
classic Maoist struggle session
in America right now. And it's
spreading all over the world,
John C Dvorak: all over the
world, especially Australia. I
have Australia clips. Before
Adam Curry: we do that, do you
mind if I play the extended West
Clarke seven clip just so we can
remember where a lot of this is
coming from?
John C Dvorak: What's the
extended version?
Adam Curry: Well, it's longer
than him just naming the seven
countries he gives the
background and how long this has
been going on and tells you who
the people are doing this for
the game, obviously, but we
played it. We didn't play the
extended one recently. I don't
think Well, here it is. So
reminder for everybody is good.
It's a background.
Unknown: And then I came back to
the Pentagon about six weeks
later, I saw the same officer. I
said, Why? Why am we attacked
Iraq, we still gonna attack
Iraq? He said, Oh, sir, he says
it's worse than that. He pulled
up a piece of paper off his desk
because I just got this memo
from the Secretary of Defense's
office, it says we're going to
attack and destroy the
government's in seven countries
in five years. We're going to
start with Iraq. And then we're
going to move to Syria, Lebanon,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
I seven, seven countries in five
years. I said it's in a
classified memo. He said, Yes,
sir. I said, Well, don't show it
to me. He was about to show it
to me. So because I want to talk
about it. And I couldn't believe
it would really be true, but
that's actually what happened.
These people took control of the
policy in the United States. And
I realized then, it came back to
me a 1991 meeting I had with
Paul Wolfowitz. You know, in
2001, he was Deputy Secretary of
Defense, but in 1991, he was the
Undersecretary of Defense for
Policy to number three position
in the Pentagon. So I called him
up there he was available, and
he brought me in and Though I
said to Paul, I said, and this
is 1991. I said, Mr. Secretary,
you must be pretty happy with
the performance of the troops
and Desert Storm. And he said,
Well, yeah, he said, but but not
really. He said, Because the
truth is we should have gotten
rid of Saddam Hussein. And we
didn't. He said, but one thing
we did learn, he said, we
learned that we can use our
military in the region in the
Middle East, and the Soviets
won't stop us. He said, and
we've got about five or 10 years
to clean up those old Soviet
client regimes, Syria, Iran,
Iraq, before the next great
superpower comes on to
challenges. It was a pretty
stunning thing. I mean, the
purpose of the military is to
start wars and change
governments. It's not to sort of
deter conflict. We're going to
invade countries and I you know,
my mind was spinning. This
country was taken over by a
group of people with a policy
coup Wolfowitz, and Cheney and
Rumsfeld. And you could name a
half dozen other collaborators
from the Project for a New
American Century. They wanted us
to destabilize the Middle East.
Turn it upside down. Make it
under our control.
Adam Curry: There you go. That's
that's the full West Clarke
seven. Well, that's
John C Dvorak: actually a
different clip.
Adam Curry: It is. It is.
John C Dvorak: It's not the old
the old classic clip. That's
correct. Yeah, this is Yeah, cuz
he said he's brought this up
into the key brought us into the
conversation more than a few
times in that clip is probably
more interesting. If they
haven't heard that for a while.
You're right.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I knew you'd
like it. I knew you'd like it
because it kind of sets
John C Dvorak: the stage. It's a
winner. It
Adam Curry: kind of sets the
stage what let's look at
Australia I've been to Australia
was was
John C Dvorak: Australia's gone
nuts. No. Okay. What do we just
say a few things is we are no
sir. Australia donors are down.
So there's
Adam Curry: like they're dead.
That dead. Jim. We don't have a
lot of them.
John C Dvorak: They have this
Prime Minister, this guy you
don't know but knows who he is
his Anthony l Bernie's. He looks
like Elmer Fudd. And acts like
Elmer Fudd. He's a laborer. He's
the head of labor. And he is a
censorship nut. And the whole
country, both sides all
everybody in the entire
political spectrum is wants to
censor everything. Yes. And all
and all information should come
from the government and the
police. And I have a series of
clips. Now this series of clips
begins with one these are all
from Sky News. And it's a it's a
collection of various Australian
politicians. All demanding
censorship. And this guy Alba
knees thinks it should be
illegal to make a meme that
involves
Adam Curry: Well, to be fair, I
don't know if you have the clip.
But he was talking about super
impose I don't know if it was a
meme or not but it but memes
would fall under his outrage.
Yes.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. And he
thinks it should be memes
literally should be illegal. You
said memes. He said memes amazes
me. He hates memes. You should
move to Australia.
Adam Curry: My bags are packed.
I'm ready to go. All right,
John C Dvorak: I want to start
this with this clip is not part
of the the super clips. But this
is a clip about the there's this
woman named Julie Inman Grant,
who is the east safety chief he
said she's in charge of E Safety
he say oh I like a safety and
she is the one who is she used a
lot of a lot of the genesis for
this is from her and she's weird
because she has a California
accent and doesn't sound like an
Australian at all. But she put
the clamps the kibosh on any Jen
she's the one really injured
Miss misgendering and if you
arresting people and throwing
him in jail if they miss gender
is really important to her. That
this doesn't happen. So I want
to play that clip first, which
is just about the misgendering
because some people got their
kid in a ringer over this and
then I'll play the other one.
This is E Safety Julie Inman
grant clip, Chris
Unknown: we've had him on this
program has submitted a Notice
of Appeal against the E Safety
Commissioner in this country
Julian grant overheard takedown
order for his post where he
supposedly misgendered a trans
activists telling me that laters
with this case it's a
fascinating one. It's one that
got international attention.
People were shocked that this
was happening in Australia and
you would think the Safety
Commissioner would have bigger
priorities I don't know Child
Exploitation for one then to
bring down posts on x. Yeah,
that's right. Look, there is a
serious issue with the exposure
of children to you know, graphic
and obscene content and it needs
to be dealt with the problem
that you've got here with with
Dizzy Safety Commissioner, she's
she's an activist, she will
continue to expand her role to
police the Internet to sense the
debate in a way that's
consistent with her own
ideological views. We're just
talking about the EPA, it's the
exact exact same problem you
have these unelected bureaucrats
that have vague powers. And they
will fill it with their with
their views. And you know, she
has a track record of censorship
and and only ever targets one
side. And unfortunately, we're
seeing that happen again.
Adam Curry: If I can just add
some color to this expos a of
what's happening in Australia.
When I went up to Dallas from my
buddies 60th birthday. The end
up there was a travel agent. Now
she is she has her own travel
agent business. And she booked a
lot of stuff for us. And she did
it for free. And this friends of
the family and is really good
because, you know, she gets all
kinds of benefits, you know,
travel agents work, they, you
know, they get a piece of the
back end somehow. Edna, so I
meet her and I knew that she was
Australian, and we're chatting
as a party. And I say, Wow, man,
you know, I was in Australia in
1990. And she's from Perth. I
said, you know, Perth was
beautiful. I really love that.
But man, that country's really
changed. He goes well, you mean?
I said, Well, ever since you
took the guns away, we'll do it.
I don't think she's ever going
to do anything for us. She got
really mad about that. Now it's
like well, in COVID that was
that it was over. She was really
defensive about about it, which
to me means she knows she knows
that something has gone really
arrived. And maybe that's why
we're not hearing from our from
our Aziz anymore. Tom's weird,
something's going on.
John C Dvorak: That's an
interesting anecdote.
Adam Curry: I think they'd been
been beaten down into
submission. It's finally
happened and they're
John C Dvorak: the first year or
two. It can't happen here. Yes,
it can. Oh, yes, it can. Did
your jaw you talked about as
Trump farting is the best you
can do.
Adam Curry: We're lost. We are
so lost. So
John C Dvorak: let's go with the
safety too. And then this will
be this is a roundup of the
commentary from unfortunately,
you don't see who the people are
in that you can't see the Chiron
but it's I can just tell you,
this is besides Alberni says in
here. People from both sides of
all political parties are making
these comments. The entire
country is all in for harsh
censorship. legal
Unknown: notices have been
issued to Google meta X,
Telegram, WhatsApp and Reddit.
Amid a surge in reports of
harmful content being spread on
the platforms
John C Dvorak: were prepared to
take whatever action is
necessary to hold these
companies into line.
Unknown: So is there a case do
you think for tougher action
against social media companies?
No question at all. And I think
there's a bipartisan position in
relation to this. This
is exactly as I'd expect from x
or Twitter or whatever the
whatever you want to call it, a
disregard for the information
that they pump into our
communities, lies and rumors
spreading like wildfire. And
then when things go wrong,
throwing their hands up in the
air to say that they're not
prepared to do anything about
it. We
know that the company so we're
seeing some of the comments from
Elon Musk overnight, so they see
themselves above the law. We've
had enough
John C Dvorak: Sydney's had
enough media companies,
including social media companies
have a responsibility to act. It
shouldn't need the Safety
Commissioner to intervene. Hmm
hmm. And that was everybody.
That's everybody from the
political spectrum left to
right. Well,
Adam Curry: hold on doesn't
doesn't that kind of fall in
line with I just said because
people aren't on X, Y, we will
call the people on X are saying
hey, Australia's crap, they went
to crap they're lost. Maybe
everybody's offended by that.
Could be just thank you. So
John C Dvorak: let's go. Okay,
part two of this clip I think
brings in Inman grant. And, and
you can hear her and listen to
her accents because she, she's
introduced and if she's chatting
right away, and this is not an
Australian accent I can I can
assure you I don't know what it
is. But it sounds like a
California girl.
Unknown: Julie in man grant is
the Safety Commissioner. Well,
we
have a range of graduated
powers, powers the civil
proceedings and we could take
them to court or we could find
them she
Adam Curry: has American Cali
Girl Up talk flowers. Yeah,
she's totally Of course she says
Um, well, what an offense.
Unknown: Julie in man grant is
the sad Commissioner, well, we
have a range
of graduated powers, there could
be civil proceedings, and we
could take them to court or we
could find them. Of course, the
quantum of the fine would depend
on the gravity of the non
compliance. This is where we try
and work with the platforms to
either voluntarily raise this or
to use our codes and mandatory
standards to force compliance.
But we can use graduated tools
like LinkedIn Leisha notices, so
if they fail to remove the
content, then we can go to the
search engines such as Google or
Bing to really minimize the
amount of content the
Australians can see,
since we'll work with the
Commonwealth Government to pull
down those pages. But I can't
emphasize enough how difficult
it is to contain a combustible
situation. When false and
malicious rumors spread like
wildfire in our community, we
need to be in a position where
we're dealing with truth the
nation
should be from police and law
enforcement authorities. And if
people have concerns they should
check our websites, our socials
and any other direct news from
law enforcement about
information,
act on advice and information
that's provided by the
government or the police. So
please be assured that police
will be the source of truth, and
not social media and
misinformation.
And then when it comes to the
misinformation and
disinformation, the government
does have was working on draft
laws to try and put in place and
much tougher rules for the
social media companies. Where
are you at on this? Are you
prepared to back such laws
that we are and happy to have a
look at anything the government
puts forward, as we've said over
the last week, with the
horrendous things that we've
seen as bad if
extra Commonwealth laws are
required to take down web pages
that are inciting and smashing
cohesion in Australia's largest
city, then that's exactly what
needs to happen
there more more of this content
is up there. The more that is
reached shared, the more the
velocity and the virality
continues. And we need to stem
that
Adam Curry: velocity and
virality.
John C Dvorak: But my favorite
quote in that little commentary,
there was the police is the
source of truth. And that was a
cop saying that some won't
female police shut up slave
lease is the source. The police
are the source of truth.
Adam Curry: I consulted the book
of knowledge, and allow me to
share what we have learned from
Wikipedia about Julie Inman
grant. She was born in 1968. In
Seattle, Washington. Ah, there
you go. The She's an American
public servant who is currently
serving as the Safety
Commissioner role, which leads
Australia's independent
regulator for online safety.
After graduating from university
in early 1990s. Grant was
offered a position as a Case
Agent with the CIA, but but
declined the offer. As it meant,
quote, I won't be able to tell
my friends and family what I was
doing. She subsequently started
working in the public sector as
a policy advisor for United
States Congressman John Miller.
And then from 95 to 2000. She
worked as a Government Affairs
Manager for Microsoft. And then
she moved to Australia, she
married her now husband, and
became the Asia Pacific director
of Internet safety, privacy and
security at Microsoft. So she
glows in the dark.
John C Dvorak: Yes, and this
spooky thing is interesting,
because I think, I don't know if
you can tell by seeing what's
missing from that that to say
that she is actually is working
for the CIA? Oh, yeah. Clearly
would, she would and the cover
would be Oh, I refused that job.
Because I wouldn't be able to
tell my friends what I do. And
then all of a sudden she's
running security in Australia.
Adam Curry: She refused. She
only refused the case. Agent Job
didn't say she refused. CIA
position. Just
John C Dvorak: case ah, ah,
good. Good catch on the parsing.
Yes. That's how we do it. That's
how we do it. So that's what's
going on there. So the CIA is?
Yeah. Okay. So let's go through
this, the last clip of the
group.
Unknown: There we go. The Online
Safety Act has significant
powers. You know, we passed it
when we're in government, and it
needs to be enforced. It's
about time that we strengthen
rules in relation to the E
Safety Commissioner. There's an
age verification recommended by
the Safety Commissioner from
2023. We think that's something
that government should pick up.
So you get out
why we've just put some very
strong mandatory codes in place
to encourage companies to do
more.
If the laws are inadequate, and
they need to be strengthened or
added to then we would support
any effort from the government
were
John C Dvorak: prepared to take
whatever action is necessary to
hold these companies into law
Unknown: to really minimize the
amount of content the
Australians can see. They're
Adam Curry: going to cut off
their internet They're gonna get
to kangaroo social media.
John C Dvorak: I'd like to know
why. What's the big deal? She at
the end? I think it was the
kicker, she says we have to make
sure that we we control what
Australians can see,
Adam Curry: let me just hear
that exact quote again, because
that is quite beautiful. It's
here again here to hold these
companies into law
Unknown: to really minimize the
amount of content the
Australians can see. minimize
Adam Curry: the amount of that
goes to show.
John C Dvorak: This is why Yeah,
it goes to show everybody we
will be cut off this show, which
does nothing more than analyze
news stories will be cut off
from Australia as Will everyone
because they are going there
trying to control the flow of
information into Australia from
outside sources. Why? I mean,
what's the end game here besides
just control the a is
Adam Curry: there any of
population or any other end
game? That's that is the end
game, isn't it? Just control the
point
John C Dvorak: would be, I
guess, because I guess maybe
we're going to set a basis there
or discuss some do with China.
There's there's a there's an
underlying reason for this that
we don't understand. But it has
to No, no. The military
industrial complex.
Adam Curry: Well, perhaps, but I
think it's simpler than that.
Australia was the first one to
they were really the test case.
Here's your job. Shut up. Stay
home. We're cordoning off you to
pass to get out of your city.
That's what happened. I think
this is
John C Dvorak: they didn't have
they didn't have that little
element. We keep forgetting
about the past. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Can we break a
country? Can we break so
John C Dvorak: you're just
thinking Australia's a giant
test tube? Yeah,
Adam Curry: in a way? Sure.
Sure. I mean, if they broke
Chris Wilson to a degree. That's
a broken man. I've talked to him
frequently. Not not really
often, but he's like, I'm still
overboard. And you know, he's
he's just trying to get along
the broken people there. And
that response I got from the
travel agent.
John C Dvorak: That's that
respect is an important story.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's there's some
there's something something
really something broke. And they
don't and they they have no, at
least in America, we think like,
oh, yeah, man, we got guns.
Okay, sure. Let's go everybody,
you first. We got I got I got
2000 rounds. But you know, so
that that may be actually quite
genius, because we just think
that we could always take it
back. But I don't really see any
evidence that that that there's
anyone with enough coats bar to
do it on mass mass. However,
it's gonna get interesting. We
have now in Fredericksburg, the
heart of the Texas Hill Country,
Trump land travel sign, you now
entering Trump land. Shaq, Shaq
has now entered our school
system. S H AC the School Health
Advisory Committee. This is so
this is Oh, I thought you were
talking about Shaquille O'Neal.
If only? No, no, this is this is
the outfit. You know, the
organization. They came from
Austin and they bring in health
consultants and they put up QR
codes in the school. Hey kids,
you feel a little gay? Yeah.
And, and the books they put the
books in the library and so the
ladies got together yes, they
kudos to the ladies. If these
are books for nine years, nine
year olds, about you know
jerking off and wet dreams and
this nine year olds it's
questionable whether schools
should be teaching children
about anything of this nature.
John C Dvorak: And they can't
they can't add in
Adam Curry: what else you're
gonna do I have a mobile play
with this thing and so they the
women went on mass yesterday and
and so they they get the gaining
some ground that was there were
supposed to approve all these
books and they delayed this vote
and it's they was calm, but I
have a feeling that that it's
it's going and the whole
John C Dvorak: idea that this is
that moms for Liberty operation
right
Adam Curry: not just no just
just expectant moms parents it's
for Liberty plus Yes, it's mom's
for Liberty plus
John C Dvorak: well that's
what's needed everywhere, but
they'll they'll beat them back
somehow. Well,
Adam Curry: I'm not so sure. And
it was it was mainly the the
amount the the number of women
who showed up good you know, it
was it was just so much and no
one of the school board members
said to someone we know like,
Hey, you got to keep control
your group. Like I don't control
anything. This these are
concerned parents. Yes. Sadly,
because there are people on the
pro side of this nice not just
you know, there's this a divided
little city here with less than
a half 1000 people. And they
believe they've been
propagandized into believing
that this is a health issue. And
that you know, when your kid is,
you know, feeling gay or trans
or whatever, that you know, this
will prevent them from killing
themselves, which of course, we
know that all of these measures
from the CAS report, it wasn't
not the CAS. Yeah. Casper, USS
Cass review. I think it is
John C Dvorak: a review of all
the everything ever printed on
that
Adam Curry: all of it is just
not well, not doing well. That
was good. It's fraud. Yes, it's
a it's a huge fraud. Now, of
course, the cast review gets
zero attention, because there's
way too much money involved.
Anyway, so that's playing out
here in Little Fredericksburg.
It's fascinating. So this this
is a global push.
John C Dvorak: Frederick,
Fredericksburg would be a
target. Because he has course,
because it has its normal
politics and then the influence
of nearby Austin, which is the
most influential city in the
entire state. Yes.
Adam Curry: And of course,
Hollywood. I mean, oh, I think
the proportion of trans kids in
Hollywood is is way higher than
than anywhere else in America. I
always have to laugh me see.
What's her name from the Dr.
Commercial? She has a an adopted
black son who she dresses in a
in a dress. What's her name
again?
Unknown: Yeah, I mean, two
Adam Curry: kids. It's like what
do you do? She's
John C Dvorak: got two kids
somehow.
Adam Curry: Feel what are the
chances? So I mean, in the
troll, Iran Charlize Theron, the
run
John C Dvorak: Yeah, she is.
Adam Curry: But I mean, a lot. A
lot of these women in Hollywood
have this. It's like, what? What
is going on you? Pet I'm not
supposed to say Wiccans. I'm so
say witches. Their witches is
correct. But with the I got the
United States association of
Wiccans. And that a little
upset. Hey, we're a farm club.
They
John C Dvorak: sent you a note.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: we're a fun loving
group. Let's stop it. Witches.
Yes, we're against witches, but
we're of the wicked tribe. So
don't mess with us. I like okay,
all right. Which is ever which
is it is. But you know, there's
there's stuff ending. It's
interesting to watch. We have a
particularly I think dei folds
into this and it is unfolding
before our very eyes. You sent
me the link that the Women Who
Code organization has folded,
folded. I mean, they couldn't
they couldn't even keep that
going. That was a Kara Swisher
or thing, wasn't it.
John C Dvorak: Women who had
PCOS, it was they started in San
Francisco in I think 2011. And
then it by 2018. They, I don't
know why. But they moved to
Atlanta. Which is like, you
know, if you know, there were
certain there are certain
geographical areas that you want
to be in because of certain, you
know, there's, I don't want to
call it a vibe or a milieu or
whatever it is. But Silicon
Valley, where this actually San
Francisco, which is not Silicon
Valley Tech, technically, is
different than Atlanta when it
comes to having the different
types of people. And so they
moved to Atlanta, which I
thought was a blunder and then
they had a just in January, they
hired a new woman who was a dei
specialist. Yes, she had a
certificate shot, but she's
actually a she was actually kind
of a chief technical officer
type. Even I would even say
maybe a bean counter type and
she got a certificate which you
could get from her I guess the
school she went to and dei and
she took over the operation in
January and four months later
folded it would they brought in
some new board members and say
were this no go raid group
closing down and all the
individual units were they had
they were trying to confiscate
their money now there's a big
battle going on. Oh, for the
money guys trying to get the
chapters. Brother. So and
there's a couple of tough women
that are involved. You can tell
because there's different
threads you can follow and say
wow, this girl's means business.
Yeah. And there is not over.
Adam Curry: So okay, so Dei,
there you go. Then we have
another story. This is most
prophecy by the way. The dei is
unfold. Not at the that Women
Who Code she wasn't she wasn't
black. She's a white woman.
Deliberately
John C Dvorak: the new CEO the
DEI, yeah, she's kind of a
middle aged white woman. Okay.
Adam Curry: We do have the DEI
official at UCLA School of
Medicine. Turns out she
massively plagiarize her
dissertation. mission on D. Dei.
I'm a DI official I plagiarize
my dissertation on Dei,
terrible. And then big story in
The New York Times about the
inside the crisis at NPR. And a
lot of it is, of course, you
know, podcasting. Of course,
podcasting is a much more
efficient way to distribute
instead of having expensive
radio stations and you know, you
need people to run the buildings
and the transmitters. With
podcasting, they also don't have
to adhere to the underwriting,
they could just go straight on
ads, which is a big improvement
for them. But also, there was a
lot of dei stuff. I quote from
the article. So it came as a
disappointment to some people on
NPRs board last fall, when they
were presented with new internal
data showing their efforts
hadn't moved the needle much
with blackness that Hispanic
listeners, black listeners made
up roughly 11% of NPRs audience
in the second quarter of 2023,
unchanged from the same period
and 2020. According to the data.
The data further show that the
share of Hispanic listeners went
up only two percentage points
since 2020, to account for 16%
of the total audience. 120 20
survey from Pew Research found
that of the people who named NPR
as their main source for
political and election news 75%
were white, more than any other
outlet except for Fox News. So
they're literally number two in
white supremacy. And here's the
is this is the funny thing. So
this this shows you how these
people were thinking NPRs
efforts to diversify itself and
its audience didn't always live
up to the expectations of the
people who work there. During a
round of layoffs last year, NPR
cut louder than a riot, a hip
hop podcast that examines black
and queer issues. Okay, let's
stop right there. Here's the
meeting. Hey, we need to dei and
diversify. I know black people
like hip hop. Yeah, let's get
let's find some black queer
people and make a show. G and it
didn't work. You're kidding,
right?
John C Dvorak: I mean, so play
this clip was and then continue
your rant but played his first
escape from last show. So you
had to look it up his podcast ad
black stories. This is the
latest NPR attempt to make a
podcast that appeals to blacks
Unknown: in this country. Some
truths aren't self evident. And
NPR is black stories, black
truths, a collection of stories
as wide ranging and real as the
people who tell them we
celebrate the black experience
for all its soul and richness.
Search NPR, black stories, black
truths. wherever you get
podcasts. Oh,
Adam Curry: goodness. Yeah. No
wonder this fails. Guess it may
come as a surprise to you. NPR.
Black people don't even want to
be seen as black people. They're
just Americans. They're
interested in stuff, but you're
pandering.
John C Dvorak: pandering. We
worry. That's the word of the
day. pandering.
Adam Curry: It's creepy. just
creepy. Like da. I wonder that
didn't work. And now I've now
just like this E Safety Lady
that bringing in some spook here
to run the NP Rs. Oh, yeah. What
do you give her? Six months?
What do you think? How long does
it woohoo, there's
John C Dvorak: a dead Deadpool
Deadpool, Deadpool,
Adam Curry: NPR, Deadpool. What
do you what do you good
question. What do you give her?
What do you give her? I can't
give her more than six months.
It just seems like I mean,
they're gonna because they do
quarterly reporting. It's gonna
suck. And you know, that was
since 2020 22. I was well, by
the
John C Dvorak: way just to be
before I want you to continue.
But before that guy Yuri, that
wrote that piece that got fired,
basically, yeah. Because of
this. He wrote a piece in
between the two CEOs hoping that
he would, you know, achieve
favor with a newcomer coming in.
But when she came in, she got
rid of him because she's like
any other. You know, some well,
that troublemaker get him out
that chopper? Yes, of course.
And so she got rid of him that I
think is going to come back to
bite her in the acid that will
affect the timeline of her
disappearance, too, and I think
it will negatively show thank
you. I think you was shortened
to me as six months. I'm going
to give her a year.
Adam Curry: Well, she had she'll
have a year contract at least
here's the here's the stat. NPR
still has an audience of about
42 million who listen every
week, many of them digitally
which is down from an estimated
60 million in 2020. So even
though they went all in on
podcast, they still lost 18
million listeners
John C Dvorak: and then she
intimidates a lot. And
Adam Curry: then okay, so talk
about your value for value.
These people are such idiots.
Hold on a second. They, whereas
it, they put together a podcast
subscription service. Here it is
the adoption of NPRs podcast
subscription bundle. Bundle
bundle NPR plus has also lagged
behind competitors subscription
business, according to internal
documents obtained by The Times
nice hit job times 51,000 people
subscribed to NPR plus as of
March, early March, this is
since 2022. And they've done
about 1.7 million in revenue.
That's a failed product, if
you've got 60 mil Okay, let's
say 42 million listeners, and
you do a subscription bundle.
And only 51,000 people sign up
for it. That's a that's a big
fail.
John C Dvorak: Well, it either
that was a big fail and under
any circumstances, but it also
indicates to me, the podcast is
broken. No, it indicates to me
that their numbers are not
accurate. What do you mean, the
big number, the big number of
taking a percentage of the big
number which
Adam Curry: is what? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: the million? No,
they don't have that's bull
crap. They only have 52,000
people that are subscribing.
Yeah, that 50 to that 50 million
is bogus. They're probably have
a few million maybe. And they're
double counting, triple
counting, quadruple counting.
They're fudging the number.
Yeah, to make it look like
there's more there that but then
they screw themselves. Because
in any sort of situation where
you're doing. You're trying to
get funds from an x from
eyeballs. So you have your
eyeballs and you have the money
coming from the eyeballs. The
percentages are well known to
everybody who does that kind of
work. And the numbers that
you're expressing do not match.
I'm with you.
Adam Curry: I'm with you. I'm
with you. So
John C Dvorak: they're full of
it. They're lying. I want to
Adam Curry: get into some of the
protests. And I'll just have one
clip to start off with and then
you can take it away. I've see
you have a couple of clips.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen you got
climene I got clips. But again,
you got clips. You always want
to play clips. You
John C Dvorak: got clip clips,
we
Adam Curry: got clips. So these
something not you not blaming
you, but something is knocking
against your microphone. I don't
know. Well, no,
John C Dvorak: I know exactly
what it is. Okay, it's not it's
not knocking against the
microphone. It's not you just
have to tell you that I know I
can fix it. I just haven't been
able to
Adam Curry: blame you. I know
it's mad. It's coming from
yours. I can only rooms
John C Dvorak: it's it's it's a
high. It's it's a long story. I
won't bother you if it was a mic
bump, it would sound like this.
Which by the way, somebody said
that if I did that, they'd say
donate. I just did it. It again.
I mean to donations. Thank
Adam Curry: you. It's more of
the sound. It's more like that.
Yeah, well,
John C Dvorak: I know what it
is. I did sorry.
Adam Curry: Okay. And you know
what we don't want to know. But
you don't want to know, we don't
want to know what it is. I just
want to point it out. Okay, so
these kids who are protesting
and all the universities. So
there's a couple things going
on. First, some observations. I
see a lot of the same green
tents. That's just an
observation, everybody, the same
green tent. So there's as
obviously as clearly organized.
There was I got a short little
clip you may have seen this one
from NYU, where there's a couple
of protesters. And and by the
way, what's with the masks? Are
they afraid of COVID Still,
John C Dvorak: yeah, yeah. This
is how smart they are. They're
all they're all wearing a
calendar wearing Spanish flu
Adam Curry: as something's going
on. And so this is one girl and
she's she's mildly cute, you
know, and she's doozy. gastic
although she has loved this
clip, she has this nose ring
which I just want to clip a dog
leash to right away. She does
that with my daughter if she
came home with that ring like
click okay, come on. And she and
her compatriots there are
clueless and what would you say
is the main goal with tonight's
protests?
Unknown: I think the goal is
showing our support for
Palestine and demanding that and
I honestly don't know is there
something that NYU is doing? I
really don't I'm pretty sure
there about Israel protesting
here that was more educated. I
was there so I came down and I
heard there's lots of cops are
saying
Adam Curry: it was okay, so I
should really I'd like to be
more educated so they are
undereducated and over
socialized which is what we saw
with the BLM riots and boy
didn't that turn out to be a big
farce a big phony, a big money
grab a big write off for
hundreds of millions of dollars
for corporate America. But
they're really not like we hate
Jews. We hate Jews. There's no
anti semitism going on. I've
looked at, you know, not ours,
but I've looked at a lot of
footage. No, there's a couple of
Ajaan provocateurs, particularly
in New York to some dude is
like, watch me I've got a
yarmulke. And in Israel flag,
it's it's almost like memory
Kentucky Fried movie. There's
this fantasy that does. That
thrill seeker thing was the
thrill seeker guy for the
Kentucky Fried movie. If you
haven't seen it, it's almost
required watching although I'm
sure very, very dated. And he
would have got a crash helmet on
and a cape. And there were a
bunch of black guys playing
craps on the street and he went
right in the middle of them and
he yells the N word, which back
then you could still say and and
that was you know, that's how
dumb this is like, Oh, well,
this guy is wearing his Israel
flag. Well, of course you're
gonna get people yelling at you
but in general there's all these
tents and like Jews for
Palestine we love Jews, you
know, all of that stuff. There's
no one is being anti semitic
except the politicians. Good
Unknown: morning. There is
another demonstration expected
here later today. The Texas
State Employees Union had
planned a demonstration for a
while in support of staff
associated with dei Pro.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is kind
of interesting. That's an aside
and kind of a follow on UT
Austin just fired all of their
dei people so So on one hand
they they're like, Oh, we better
get rid of this. This is not
good. We dei is collapsing. And
they probably have a bunch of
these. I don't know plagiarize
errs in there like because it's
close to division. So it was
already tense
Unknown: as union had planned a
demonstration for a while in
supportive staff associated with
dei programs who are now losing
their job here on campus, but
now, student groups say that
they will join them in another
walkout in the first walkout
that they called for yesterday,
ended up being chaotic. The
student Palestine Solidarity
committee had planned this
walkout the university had told
them the event would not be
approved saying that there's a
time and place for everything,
but that they couldn't disrupt
campus with final exams next
week. Well, UT police and Texas
DPS they were ready and they
quickly issue orders for the
crowd to disperse. They started
pushing groups back off the main
lawn and when demonstrators
would not leave. They started
making arrests this morning,
Texas DPS as law enforcement on
campus made 34 arrests, and
there was immediately a public
call for protesters to then call
the jail and demand their
release and begin raising money
for bail. Governor Greg Abbott
immediately back the strong
response posting this on acts as
the demonstration was happening.
These protesters belong in jail,
anti semitism will not be
tolerated in Texas period.
Students joining in hate filled
anti semitic protests at any
public college or university in
Texas should be expelled.
Adam Curry: This is bullcrap.
That's that's our governor
saying, oh, anti semitism. No.
This is the idea.
John C Dvorak: I think people
out there should be reminded
that Greg Abbott is the governor
of Texas. This is disliked by
you. He's a globe because you
think he's a big phony. He's
Adam Curry: a big phony
globalist he gets a pass because
of wheelchair. Yeah. But we're
not. We're on to you, Abbott.
No, he's a phony. Just phony
things at the border with a
phony Little Eagle Pass, bro.
Here's offense. Oh, we're gonna
stop here. We got Forward
Operating Base. Now you're done.
He's a phony. He's a big phony.
And now and here he is ginning
it up. Janet. Oh, it's empty. Is
Deutsche Avella to add to it.
Unknown: This is definitely a
nationwide topic you just
mentioned the White House. We
also had the Secretary of
Education who weighed in here
say that what he has seen on
campus is it's a disgrace the
White House a press release that
they send out saying that anti
semitism has no space not only
in any college across the
country, but also anywhere. And
as we who are also the concerns
of Jewish students but also a
faculty members are rabid close
to the university even told
Jewish students to stay away.
But there it's important to make
a difference between the
protesters protesting inside the
university but also also when we
came here earlier today we were
hearing is some chance also some
people were here is saying and
rejecting a two state solution
quite different to the chance
that we're here in cyber we can
imagine that this will still
develop as we see more and more
universities more of this
protest also happening across
the country.
Adam Curry: Again that just
parroting whatever the CIA told
them because this this is a scam
they're setting it up and making
it look like these kids hate
Jews. It's not this is not what
it's blatantly false because
that's not what the chants are.
There's none of that it's pro
Palestine, BDS You know,
boycott, divest and divest and
sanction they want the
universities to no longer invest
in Israel whatever but but stop
the genocide but they're not
saying we hate Jews that just
not it and even Mike Johnson was
doing Do you have that on your I
John C Dvorak: had the Mike
Johnson clip.
Adam Curry: Let me see where is
it? There Mike Johnson that
would make sense. Here we have
Columbia House Speaker
Unknown: Mike Johnson in New
York City today meeting with
students as he calls for
Columbia University's president
to resign. And Denise White
House correspondent Iris Tao was
at the speaker's press
conference after meeting with
Columbia University's president
minutiae feet here on campus
House Speaker Mike Johnson says
she needs to step down and she's
too weak and protecting Jewish
religion
is that they have not acted to
restore order on the campus.
This is dangerous. This is not
free, free expression. This is
not First Amendment they are
threatening intimidating. Saying
that they will take violence
upon Jewish students we met with
Jewish students who are in fear,
they can't come on campus.
Meanwhile, Johnson was booed by
pro Palestinian protesters
during his press conference.
Though he responded with a blunt
message does
not matter who shouts in our
faces, we're gonna do what is
right by America, my message to
the students inside the
encampment is get go back to
class and stop the nonsense.
Stop wasting your parents money.
Adam Curry: And Johnson says you
also pro that's by the way, just
as a nice stop that for a second
that was edited together because
I saw the whole thing and he's
up there and some dude next to
him, some Texas Congressman said
Stop wasting your parents money
and he said yeah, stop wasting
your parents money. That's what
the Congressman just said. They
cut that out of this report.
That's interesting. Go back to
class and
Unknown: stop that nonsense.
Stop wasting your parents money.
Adam Curry: I said it. Yeah,
it's a good edit. But it's their
Unknown: plans to call President
Biden tell him what he's seen
here and also demand him take
executive action to address
this. President Biden on Monday
said he condemns anti semitic
protests but also condensed
those who don't understand
what's going on with the
Palestinians. Former President
Trump says Biden does not know
who he's backing. All this as
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
and Yahoo on Wednesday, call the
situation on American college
campuses horrific.
What's happening on America's
college campuses? Is a rift is
horrific. This is
Adam Curry: perfect. All right.
So interesting. I have a
different clip of Mike Johnson.
And it's funny that he starts to
say this is not free speech.
What is he talking about? He's
that's that's the literal
expression of free speech.
John C Dvorak: And he when I saw
the way I saw another one, this
is million clips of him. But
first of all, let's start with
the fact that he's showboating.
There's no reason for Mike
Johnson go to Columbia. Yeah.
Oh, really? There's no reason
for Mike Johnson to GoJek is the
speaker of the house. Why is he
at Columbia, he's just to show
up the fact that Biden will go
or Biden can figure out where it
is. Yeah, whatever
Adam Curry: it because he's
nailed. He's being blackmailed.
They got him. They got him. And
now Hey, hey, little boy, go to
New York and say something. Talk
anti Jew stuff?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's
probably somebody that what
you're saying is that there's a
narrative that's been created by
a third party and he is now a
student? He's a
Adam Curry: student? Yes. He's
just well remember, he signed
the EA Sports Bill said he would
never sign ever. Yeah, let me
play this clip. Because there's
some different stuff in here.
Unknown: We are standing here
right now in the steps of the
low library, in this very
building right behind us.
Columbia University once awarded
Winston Churchill, an honorary
degree. And it was Churchill who
said, it is manifestly right,
that Jews should have a national
home where they may be reunited.
We believe in that principle.
And today, I'm here to proclaim
to all those who gnashed their
teeth and demand to wipe
Adam Curry: the state of Oh, do
you hear what he said there? To
those who gnashed their teeth
that's like a biblical thing.
He's that's the Vert. You want
to hear virtue virtue signal?
That's a virtue of gnashing of
teeth?
John C Dvorak: Well, he would we
would make sense from him. Yeah.
But
Adam Curry: that's weak. That's
that's really weak.
Unknown: We believe in that
principle. And today, I'm here
to proclaim to all those who
gnashed their teeth and demand
to wipe
John C Dvorak: out against it is
there is the reference to
panties in a bunch would that Is
that Biblical to
Unknown: it is now civil. And
today, I'm here to proclaim to
all those who gnashed their
teeth and demand to wipe the
State of Israel off the map and
attack our innocent Jewish
students. This simple truth.
Neither Israel nor these Jewish
students on this campus will
ever stand alone. Today, Hamas
issued an endorsement statement
of the protesters on this campus
they called them the future
leaders of them America is
detestable. This has to be said
because the cherished traditions
of this university are being
overtaken right now by radical
and extreme ideologies. They
place a target on the backs of
Jewish students in the United
States and here on this campus,
a growing number of students
have chanted in support of
terrorist. They have chased down
Jewish students. They have
mocked them in the reviled them.
They have shouted racial ethnic
epithets. I haven't seen that
they have screamed at those who
bear bear the Star of David.
Enjoy your free speech. Told you
as students who were the Star of
David to leave the country, and
shamefully some professors and
faculty have joined the mobs.
Things have gotten so out of
control that the schools
canceled in person classes. And
now they've come up with this
hybrid model, where they will
discriminate against Jewish
students, they are not allowed
to come to class anymore for
fear of their lives. And it's
detestable, as Colombia has
allowed these lawless agitators
and radicals to take over. The
virus of anti semitism is spread
across other campuses, by some
counts as many as 200
universities have a similar form
of protest right now.
Adam Curry: So this guy has
really lost the plot and I think
that I got this clip here. This
is from NBC. The threatening of
Johnson which he is responding
to whatever they threatened him
with. Whether it's like if you
don't if you don't bring this to
the floor if you don't vote for
the you don't get this past man,
then you know America's gonna
die or you're gonna die or or
no, or we may reveal some
photos, we may show some photos.
You're still on that this I give
it a 10% possibility, but it's
possible.
John C Dvorak: You can give it
any possibility you want, but it
seems the easiest way to do it.
Yeah. Well listen
Unknown: to this report from
NBC. Tonight with Ukraine
struggling to fend off Russia's
relentless military assault. New
American weapons are finally on
the way after President Biden
signed that nearly $100 billion
dollar foreign aid
John C Dvorak: package was a
good day for
Unknown: world peace. It's gonna
make America safer.
Adam Curry: And by the way,
that's the quote 100 billion
dollars in weapons. It's a good
day for peace.
Unknown: Peace world, America
safer. Yeah, it's gonna make the
world safer. announcement comes
after a six bill on White House
effort to approve more aid the
delay caused by conservative
Republicans who threatened to
oust House Speaker Mike Johnson
if he supported it. Multiple
officials tell NBC News the
president broke the logjam by
directing aides to court
Johnson, privately making clear
to him the consequences of
inaction.
Adam Curry: And he had an oval
meeting. That's what happened.
They brought it was the
John C Dvorak: what what was the
vote when they did the final
vote? I think there was
something like 100 Republicans
that voted for that. Well,
Adam Curry: that's part of the
whole distraction that the
Republicans are doing No,
listen, listen, look. The whole
point is look, focus on Mike
Johnson focus on Mike Johnson.
Please don't look at your
representatives who voted for
it. That's the point
John C Dvorak: all Johnson was
doing was keeping it from from
the floor. Doing these, these
Republicans have favor and if he
is finally badgered into putting
it to the to a vote yes. And
ended Republicans sold their own
people out. He was if it wasn't
for all the Republicans that
voted for it, it wouldn't have
passed has nothing to do with
Mike Johnson.
Adam Curry: No, but that's why
they're all focused on him focus
on Him, not on us. Because and
I'm gonna go there. These people
did indeed receive a lot of
money. And I'm talking Rubio,
McCall, these are not Jews, by
the way. They all got money from
AIPAC and I decided, You know
what, I'm gonna go look at this
AIPAC outfit. And AIPAC is a
501. C four, which means they're
a lobbying organization. And I'm
like, Well, where does that
money come from? Of course, no
one has to disclose this. And
then I find it they get their
money from the AI E F. Ever
heard of them? No, no, no,
neither at IAEIF at a
EIFD en.org is the America
Israel Education Foundation, the
charitable and literate, they
have a one page website, one
page, the charitable
organization affiliated with
AIPAC, so and their 501 C three.
So when you donate to them, this
is what we call a cut out when
you donate to them. You get a
tax write off and they then ship
all that money over to AIPAC.
And wouldn't you know it?
Lockheed Martin $1.9 million
dollars north of Grumman $1.253
million, General Atomics $1.229
million. This is how it works.
The defense contractors donate
to a EIF a EIF said $35 million.
And this 2019 numbers because
very because, you know, they
don't have to report either. So
I'm just getting stuff that has
been reverse engineered on the
internet, you know, from open
secrets type places. That's how
the money flows. And then you
can always say, is the juice.
But no.
John C Dvorak: And unless the
Jews are running Lockheed
Martin, I don't think so.
Adam Curry: If you look at the
board of directors of AI, F,
it's three times as long as
APAC, APAC is that's all your
your Jewish names? Oh, yes. Oh,
you were doing it here and boy,
voted for Israel. But AI F.
That's where all the contractors
are on the board. And so I did
the unthinkable. Oh, I did the
unthinkable. I went and marked
up all 270 pages of this bill.
This is a procurement bill.
That's what this is. I'm just
going to run through. What's
interesting is that this bill is
entitled as an act to amend
title 38 us not United States
Code to make certain
improvements relating to the
eligibility of veterans to
receive reimbursements for
emergency treatment furnish
through the veterans community
care program. And for other
purposes. It's always fun to see
it they take they take a bill
that's already on the floor
that's gone through the to the
basic stuff, and then they just
rip it all out and replace it.
And this thing is amazing. It
consists of a couple of
divisions Israel's security
supplemental appropriations act
Ukraine security, simple
supplemental appropriations act,
Indo Pacific security
supplemental appropriation
Appropriations Act, the century
peace through strength act,
couldn't be more Orwellian
century peace 20 I'm sorry, 21st
century peace through strength,
the fend Act which is fend off
fentanyl, the rebuilding
economic prosperity and
opportunity for Ukrainians x.
That's that's a big slush fund.
Then we have protecting
Americans from foreign adversary
controlled applications that you
tick tock act. Then we have the
ship X The Fight Crime Act, the
Masha act. There's a whole bunch
of stuff in here, but I just
want to rattle off some numbers.
I know how to read these things
by now. So we start with
Department of Defense operations
and maintenance $4.4 billion
transferred to the accounts
under the heading operation and
maintenance, procurement, and
revolving and management funds.
So that's not going to Ukraine.
But the Secretary of Defense
will notify the congressional
defense committees of the
details of such transfers. So
that a determination that all or
part of the funds transferred
from this appropriation are not
necessarily for the purposes
provided here in so he can do
whatever he wants with it. No
wonder they replace them. Then
we have it divided procurement
of ammunition for the army $801
million to respond to the
situation in Israel and other
uses. Defense wide $5.2 billion
to respond to the situation
Israel and for related expenses.
4 billion given to the Secretary
of Defense to provide for the
Government of Israel for
procurement, ie buying from us
for the Iron Dome, David sling,
short range rockets. 1.2 billion
will be for the procurement of
the iron beam defense. So that's
just being spent on us. Then
they have some defense
production act stuff in there.
190 8 million is not that
interesting, but then we go to
additional 2.4 for the
Department of Defense for
transfer to military personnel
accounts operation and
maintenance and procurement.
Defense working capital funds,
it's not going anywhere. It's
not going to Ukraine, or Israel
or anywhere. Then we have titled
to Department of Homeland
Security. We throw them $10
million dollars just for
operations, FEMA, FEMA, do they
operate in the Ukraine FEMA,
FEMA 390,000,200 and 30 million
for nonprofit security grant
program to eligible nonprofit
organizations to prevent,
prepare for protect against and
respond to acts of terrorism to
nonprofits. This is dynamite.
Then we and
John C Dvorak: then to the if
you're on the other end of the
tit thrilled Of
Adam Curry: course then the
Department of State 100 50
million just to fly around 100
million for security worldwide
security. They will get 4
million to the odd the Office of
the Inspector General to oversee
everything, then to the
diplomatic and consular
services. 50 million for general
stuff case needed fly on jets
jets, I guess you mostly jets,
mostly jets, bilateral economic
assistance $5.6 billion to
address humanitarian needs.
Emergency Food and Shelter of
vulnerable populations and
communities doesn't specify just
5.6 billion. And then my
favorite Department of State
Migration and Refugee Assistance
$3.495 billion for humanitarian
needs of vulnerable populations
to come in through the southern
border. Yeah, I mean, this is
literally
John C Dvorak: a $10,000 credit
card. Yes. Here you have come on
welcome mirror. It's not you.
You're not a $10,000 credit
card. Yeah. And there are guys
that we know for a fact because
they've said so have come in,
grabbed a credit card escaped
out of the country, and come
back in again. Oh, to get a
second credit card Eva, Phoebe
knows. Yes. Okay,
Adam Curry: baby. Okay. Then, in
case someone has some issues,
we're gonna give away three and
a half billion dollars for
foreign military financing. You
know, hey, you need financing.
We can give you a lease on this
stuff. We have financing
available. I mean, literally
with 5 million Hey, Phoebe
coming with 5 million for the
sales department. Expenses for
general costs of address of
administering military
assistance and sales. They've
even got the salespersons in
there. Tila Yeah, Phoebe Come
here. Let me skip ahead here.
There's a couple other things
because then we get into my
fifth Pheebs Come here, baby.
Come here. US youth Pheebs
fevers, US AI D $3 million for
monitoring of assistance made
available for Gaza. So we give
we gave give both sides some
money. Go look, go make sure
that the missiles hit right.
Here's $3 million. Go monitor.
Then we have Okay, now we go to
Ukraine. This is great. For
Military Department of Defense
for military personnel. 207
million, that's our people were
paying them military for the
Marine Corps. $3.358 million for
our Marines. 23 million for the
Air Force, 4 million for Space
Force, Phoebe Space Force, Space
Force. operation and maintenance
for the army $4.8 billion to
respond to the situation in
Ukraine and for related
expenses, provided that such
amount is designated by Congress
as for being for an emergency
requirement pursuant to this
section, so they're just gonna
hold on to it. We give that
slush money. It's called Oh,
it's all slush, money, operation
and maintenance for the Navy.
are we sending the Navy to
Ukraine 976 million, the Marine
Corps 69 million. And they just
this is it just keeps on going.
But here's the I love this one.
General operation and
maintenance defense wides $27.9
billion to spend to respond to
the situation Ukraine and for
related expenses. So this is a
huge procurement bill, which
means buying stuff and I go on
and on but I want to get to the
Navy because the Navy has
weapons procurement 706 million
to respond to the situation in
Ukraine because you know, the
Navy's got to be there. Other
procurement 26 million just in
case you need it. Let's get to
the submarines await for the Air
Force $3.2 billion research and
development we need some
research and development 80
million for who was that for for
to remain available to respond
to the situation in Ukraine.
That's for the army. The Navy
gets 13 million for research and
development and for testing. Air
Force 406 million. I mean, this
is bull crap. That's absolute
bull crap. But then they added
the cool things down at the
bottom here. They got some
nuclear stuff in there. Oh, here
it is. This I love this title to
Department of Energy programs
for an additional amount for
science $98 million. It
literally says science in the
bill in quotes for an additional
amount for science. What does
that even mean? That's code.
John C Dvorak: If it's in
quotes, it's code but which code
for
Adam Curry: something we don't
know. And then we go back to
Department of Health and Human
Services
John C Dvorak: it could be
hookers MMA.
Adam Curry: I love it loses
science and quote could be your
right could be hookers and blow
the Department of Health and
Human Services 481 million for
refugee and entrant assistance
activities. What? A half a
billion dollars. dollars to help
more people come in.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's the
ones they're flying in.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Precisely.
All right, we go down to that,
well, then the President gets
30 $39 million to throw around
for general expenses. The here's
the economic support fund, this
is the real money that is going
to quote unquote, Ukraine $7.89
billion. But that is going into
the Ukraine fund. You see,
that's where everybody is going
to be sucking off of that money,
the Freedom Support Act and seed
the support for East European
Democracy Act, they put that
money in there. And then you go
there with your little
nonprofit. And that's where you
get. That's, that's where you
get some money from, and I'm
sure Zelinsky and all those guys
get from that money, then
they've got more loan guarantees
that we put in there. This, this
was fun. They changed some words
around and so now money instead
of going to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization,
organization, NATO and its
allies, it now can go to North
Atlantic Treaty Organization,
allies, major non NATO allies,
and the Indo Pacific region $8
billion was 4 billion they
doubled it to 8 billion, and now
they can give it to anybody they
want even a non NATO ally.
That's probably Taiwan, I'm
guessing. Then on page 55, there
was no I'm almost done here,
page 55. There was something
interesting. On page 55, where
this is about the what do you
call those attack comes? This is
a big thing in the news. The
that's the 300 mile army
tactical missile systems. So
yeah, okay, so this bill, as
soon as practicable after the
date of enactment of this
division, the president shall
transfer long range army
tactical missile systems to the
Government of Ukraine, that's
the attacker comes to assist the
Government of Ukraine in
defending itself and achieving
victory against the Russian
Federation. Notification. If the
President determines that
executive, the transfer of long
range army tactical missile
systems to the Government of
Ukraine pursuant to subsection A
will be detrimental to the
national security interest of
the United States, the President
may withhold such transfer. So
this is just they're just going
to hold this intel, because it's
always going to be it's always
gonna be dangerous. We'll see if
they actually send them over.
And so then they probably won't.
I don't think so either. Okay,
so then we go to the submarines
$1.9 billion to respond to the
situation in Taiwan, for
operation and maintenance
procurement of submarines. We
add to that $2.1 billion for
submarine bases. additional
money, 1.9 billion for the
Columbia class submarine and 200
million a 200 million for the
Virginia class submarine. So
that's your pivot to the Indo
Pacific. And I'll skip
everything else. It's all marked
up in the show notes. But at the
very bottom, we have my
favorite, which is the repo Act,
the repo act. This is the
rebuilding economic prosperity
and opportunity for Ukraine's
act. And this is where we get to
take the Russian money. And so
it's clearly spelled out there's
$300 billion of Russian money in
the system. 190 billion is in
Belgium through Euro clear, we
have about I think 10 billion or
15 billion that is within within
our purview. And this authorizes
the g7 countries, we're good to
go. We're taking the money.
We're stealing the Russian
money.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is the
end of our economic system. I
would
Adam Curry: agree. It is the
most insane thing I've ever
seen. And of course, you know,
Putin, Putin is like we also
have prepared an answer. Speaker
of Russian upper house of
parliament says, we have a draft
law which we are ready to
consider immediately on
retaliatory measures and the
Europeans will lose more than we
do.
John C Dvorak: Whatever I bet
you that's true. Yeah, but
Adam Curry: what do you think
they'll do?
John C Dvorak: Well, they can
confiscate all the European and
American investments in Russia
and there's definitely more than
yeah, that's that minuscule
amount. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
That also cut out the oil guys.
and who really we are there?
It's could be it's a bad idea.
Yeah, this is not what you you
can be you have your wars,
you're gonna have your kinetic
wars and you can shoot at each
other but you start Seto and
money's Arab tissue. Yes,
surreptitiously stealing money
where it's agreed upon that you
don't do that, because it has,
because those systems are not
based on you know, just
bullcrap. They're, they're
solid, they're, they work for a
reason, and you mess with them.
This is no good. This is the end
of American hegemony, this is
going to screw up everything if
we go ahead with this stupid
idea of stealing money. This in
a system that's secure. Here's
Adam Curry: two clips from CBS
face, the nation about these
procurement bills. And they're
even lying here. But is
Unknown: this Ukraine aid that
finally has moved at President
Solinsky was on another network
this morning, and he said the US
will send a signal with this,
that this will not be a second
Afghanistan, the US will stay
with Ukraine. As
you know, I was a supporter of
the defense supplemental. This
is Senator Mark Warner. And I
think it's not just going to be
important for Ukraine, as you
and I've talked about before,
it's going to be really
important for the industrial
base of America, which has
atrophied dramatically 60% of
this bill goes into building
weapons or the from submarines,
two and
155 districts to which is
surprising to get through that
all
over the place. So I think
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, as Dan
Sullivan, Senator Dan Sullivan,
he just submarines is all great
Unknown: all over the place. So
I think it's important. But
again, we're kind of given Joe
Biden a bit of a pass on, not
just as I mentioned, how we got
here, but the execution of the
Ukraine. Effort is, you know,
literally every major weapons
system that the Ukrainians have
said they need from high Mars
patriots, stingers, tanks, F 16.
Now attack comes every single
weapon system, this
administration, delays, delays
because they're scared of, you
know, making Vladimir Putin mad.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: they can make them
real math when they steal the
money. But that's why I think
they put it in here that the
President can still delay the
attack comes which is, oh, it's
all about the attack comes from
Senator
Unknown: 61 billion in aid to
Ukraine, about 60% of that stays
as an investment into the US
industrial base. As I understand
it, the US industrial base,
President Solinsky said this
morning on another network, it's
important that they get crucial
long range artillery, like
attack guns, is that what this
money will pay for? And if so,
when will they actually get
them?
These materials will be in
transit by the end of the week.
And on that schedule, what it
will do is it's clearly been the
case that the Ukrainians morale
has been great, but it's been
undermined the last couple of
months or damaged literally,
Adam Curry: I was I was enrolled
at dead but it's great given out
Unknown: rationed bullets, eight
to 10 bullets a day and on
artillery shells, Russians tend
to one you can't underestimate
that Ukrainians grit
determination but if they don't
have the materials yeah they
can't carry this fight to
get those long range artillery
yes
not just ammunition The
attack comes I believe the
administration was prepared well
months to to provide attack
rooms. It is written into this
legislation. So
Adam Curry: now I'll be the
first to say that this is
clearly supporting our GDP. But
we're not sending any of this to
Ukraine. Now I mean, we have the
stuff we just didn't want to
give it to him we I mean what
now we can send everything all
of us Oh, now we got bullets.
But because we made bullets
overnight now know the military,
the defense industrial base,
which keeps our What else do we
make here? We make war stuff.
And a cyber truck 4000
cybertruck jets and jets. Well
it's war stuff submarines. These
are big things you ever see that
submarines dot build
submarines.com on the sports
fields. This is gonna be big
business. You want to get a
business get into that business.
And what are the rest of the
American people get? We get
Ukraine flags waving waving you
idiots. Here's a Christian
Welker, your buddy speaking with
the Lenski. Now is this it
brother Brother, Volodymyr? Is
this do you need more? Can you
When will this be it
Unknown: President Solinsky Can
you give Americans a sense of
the timeline? Will you still
need as much aid this time next
year?
Or do you think you can turn the
corner on Russia? What's the
timeline
depends on like how soon they
get this age. There are so many
variables, so many factors. And
sometimes when we protect the
important The bottom line is you
retreat because you don't have
enough to force us into
equipment. And then we taking
the client would take two or
three times more. Oh, okay. I'm
not saying that this is how it's
gonna end up. But I would like
us to be open and very, very
specific. From the moment we get
our hands on these weapons
systems. Well, from that moment,
we can talk about the timeline,
Adam Curry: we need three times
more. That's what he's saying.
Two to three today, I just want
to be open with you guys. Give
me some credit. I need two or
three more. There was an
interesting little tidbit that
came up on Face The Nation, as
they were talking about, you
know, this being a new Cold War.
It's, you know, it's, we're,
well, now we have a Cold War
with Russia and with China.
These are short clips. Let's
play these two because something
interesting came up first here
is Who's David E. Sanger? Who is
this Jumoke.
John C Dvorak: Singer. That's
the guy was from New York, New
York Times. New York Times
today. He's a reporter. Okay.
Unknown: The New Cold Wars are
quite different market. We've
got Russia and China coming
together in a periodic
partnership. I wouldn't say it's
a full Alliance. We have other
players like Iran and North
Korea, as you were discussing
with earlier guests, supplying
them becoming sort of what the
Iranians call an Axis of
Resistance to the US. It is a
far more volatile, I think, far
more dangerous period than we
had, even then. And yet, as you
point out, our ability to
discuss it as a nation has
somewhat degraded you watch
those Kennedy Nixon debates and
put aside who was sweating and
who looked young and vigorous
and all that it was an
incredibly sophisticated
argument largely about nuclear
deterrence. I'm afraid that
we're not having that incredibly
sophisticated argument today,
you know, 60 years more than 60
years later, if you believe that
there is something of a new Iron
Curtain coming down a place
where you're going to divide the
US, the NATO nations against
China, Russia, Iran, others,
it's somewhere in that border
land between Ukraine and Russia.
Adam Curry: Yeah, demilitarized
zone, there you go. Good job,
everybody. You move it up into
Ukraine. Fantastic. But here's,
here's the kicker, the
Unknown: book opens with the
days running up to the war in
Ukraine. And while there was
certainly lots of indicators
coming from American satellites,
and signals, intelligence, and
so forth, in the end, one of the
key indicators of the Russians
were getting ready to roll came
from Microsoft, whose engineers
were noticing that malware that
had been placed by the Russians
and Ukrainian government
agencies were being activated
and sent a notice through their
various channels, which
ultimately went to the White
House. At the end of the day,
what kept Ukraine running was
some combination of Microsoft
and Amazon, moving all of their
data to the cloud. And then Elon
Musk coming in and providing
Starlink so they could
communicate to that cloud
credible. Something we never saw
in the old Cold War's
Adam Curry: Yeah, I read that as
Microsoft, Amazon and Starlink
are all part of the intelligence
services and spying on everybody
and everything. Didn't the
engineers notice some spyware
was activated, please? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I agree. I'm not
at a total agreement. But I
agree with this nonsense that
all of a sudden, I mean, first
one thing if the spyware is
there,
Adam Curry: get rid of it. Yeah.
Run that antivirus. Watch it
John C Dvorak: and wait for it
to be activate. Oh, look, it's
just been activated by
Adam Curry: Hunter five people
Come on run it. That'll
John C Dvorak: probably do it.
Probably all it takes.
Adam Curry: But wow, this this
is such a this whole thing. And
meanwhile, you know, we're being
spied on by our own intelligence
services. We got net neutrality
to block any kind of private
communications we want to have.
It's obviously what are we all
doing? Scrolling on tick tock.
Oh, I'm sorry. Tick tock tick
tock, click clock tock tick.
Tock tock Scott
Unknown: McFarlane has got the
latest on that possible ban on
tick tock Scott, what
do we know? Tony tick tock is
now on the clock here to be sued
by their China based owner or
face the prospect of abandoned
the United States within that
year shutting down access to 170
million American users and
millions of small businesses in
a Congress that seemingly can't
agree on anything this past
week. overwhelming bipartisan
support amid concerns China
could use Tiktok to exploit and
access private Americans
information. One lawmaker called
it a spy balloon in your phone
and others say that's a possible
tool for propaganda. A big issue
as we enter an election season.
Tick tock is indicated they will
challenge this in the courts
file a lawsuit, they argued this
is an infringement of First
Amendment rights. But Tony
President Biden is expected to
sign this bill into law today.
Adam Curry: This great, of
course, is not going to go away.
It'll just be tick tock with USA
inside. Steve Minuchin. Speaking
of Tic Toc,
John C Dvorak: and I gotta let
him get it.
Adam Curry: Oh, someone's got
it. You know, it's gonna be it'd
be Google. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it'd be something
like that. Because I've already
read that Google and Microsoft
is best candidates. Although
Adam Curry: meta, their stock
price took a dump yesterday,
even though they had reasonable
earnings.
John C Dvorak: I don't know
it'll be back. That's just a I
don't even know why they glitch
occurred. But
Adam Curry: a glitch. Glitch.
John C Dvorak: It's a glitch.
Adam Curry: Zuckerberg announced
the oh, we're gonna invest in
AI. Everyone went Oh, no, jump
John C Dvorak: that thing that
may actually be the moment where
the pivot the pivot the pivot is
to people stop paying attention
to AI. You don't have to say AI
anymore? I do. I do have this
clip blinking in China to talk
about.
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm sure that's
what he's talking about. Here's
your
Unknown: clip. Because when our
allies are stronger, I want to
make this current again and
again. When our allies are
stronger, we are stronger. The
package includes a separate
measure that would force tick
tock to divest from its Chinese
parent company bytedance, or be
banned on US App Stores. Tiktok
has about a year to do so. And
that's because of data privacy
concerns, as the Chinese regime
can access tic TOCs user data
for any user that uses tic tock
in the world. At the same time.
Antony Blinken, the Secretary of
State is in China, and among
many of the topics he'll be
discussing with officials there
are human rights, the State
Department released a human
rights report documenting the
atrocities and crimes against
humanity still being committed
by the Chinese regime today in
China, including those against
wiegers and following Gong,
Falun Gong is a spiritual
practice based on the principles
of truthfulness, compassion, and
forbearance. Here's madonn
Patel, the deputy principals
spokesperson at the State
Department on the Secretary's
visit to China. He said he would
address human rights. But on
this report that came out on
Monday Well, he specifically
addressed the persecution of
religious groups like the
Uyghurs and Falun Gong, and what
have tox been like on this in
the past. So
what I can say is that in every
engagement that we have had with
the People's Republic of China,
since the onset of this
administration, human rights
have always been on the agenda,
and they will continue to be so
and I have no doubt that human
rights will be discussed. This
week, while the Secretary is
there.
John C Dvorak: There was the
agenda is put some on the
agenda. There's some
Adam Curry: additional stuff,
that it wasn't just the so
called tick tock bill, which
actually is 270 days for tick
tock to bite dance to divest of
Tik Tok to an American company,
by IE, we're gonna steal it from
you, the president can extend
that three months after the
enactment of this act, tick tock
has to start making available
all data all video all posts all
pictures in machine readable
format, so that people can
export that and download it to
import into Google and YouTube,
I presume. But it also goes for
any technology company the
president deems to be. I'm
paraphrasing here, operated by a
foreign entity, an adverse
foreign entity, if it has more
than a million users. Except of
course, if you're a price
comparison app. Now if you're on
Amazon or ordering app, or if
you're Airbnb, that doesn't
count, but then they have this
no technology for terror act,
which is not discussed. I don't
know if it's anything but a
foreign produced item shall be
subject to the Export
Administration Regulations. If
the product is I guess, you
can't import anything that is,
in general a license shall be
required to export re export or
in country transfer a foreign
produced item from abroad that
meets the product scope
requirements described in
subsection B which is bits and
bobs. As I'm not I don't
understand that one yet. But
there's something coming you
know, metal got kicked out of
China.
John C Dvorak: So that would
have killed for a stock Drop.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: I wonder that
happened recently I think
John C Dvorak: well, something's
up. Nobody would. Yeah, this
whole the idealism of the
internet is over
Adam Curry: here. Here's the EU
Not to be outdone, hey, hey, we
got to get on that Tiktok
bandwagon, man. I know, let's
see if we can steal some money
of our own, grabbing
Unknown: your phone and
scrolling through videos for
hours on end. It's a behavior
that's become part of our daily
lives, and one which Tik Tok is
seeking to encourage further
through its new feature Tik Tok
light. The applications reward
program allows users to earn
points for watching and
interacting with content, which
they can then trade for gift
cards on partner websites, and
new way to gamify and monetize
attention, which Brussels say
could be as addictive as
cigarettes. In the European
Commission on Monday launched a
probe into tic toc lights impact
on mental health, especially for
children, in what it says could
be a breach of the Digital
Service Act. It's given Chinese
group by dance until Wednesday
to argue its case or face being
suspended from operating in
Europe. So unless Tiktok
provides compelling proof of its
safety, which he has failed to
do until now, we stand ready to
trigger digital service acts
interim measures, including the
suspension of the Tiktok light
reward
program, tick tock says it's
already taken measures to limit
addiction, including placing a
cap on daily rewards and banning
users under 18. from accessing
the new feature. It remains to
be seen whether these arguments
will be enough to convince EU
regulators that tick tock does
enough to protect children.
Adam Curry: I mean, those guys
are so genius, those tick tock
guys, they actually did one of
those things that everybody
said, you know, well, one day,
you'll get paid for your
attention. And they do it. Hey,
the watch this ad will give you
some points, some tick tock
points,
John C Dvorak: you can read a
new phenomenon this has been
tried and tried over the years
since even beginning before our
show, which is long time ago.
There were all these efforts to
do this and do that and you get
points. And there's games,
there's all kinds of games where
you get a weapon, if you did you
follow through on certain
things, you get an extra weapon
or weapon. Or you could buy the
weapon on eBay. And there was
all that nobody complained and
now they've they've managed to
do a better job doing is better,
better, better is better than
what has been attempted so far.
And so they're pumped up
punished for it. This reminds me
of, you know, the early days of
the Internet, or the early days
of personal computer technology
in the 70s I'd say when Oh,
everything is going to be
electronic. All the books will
be available electronically. And
it'll be a giant library with
every all knowledge will be
accumulated in and you'll be
able to look it up and find
anything you want. And once they
started doing that, bitching and
moaning about oh no copy, right?
They copied my book, you know,
out of print book.
Adam Curry: Nobody reads
anymore. Nobody cares. The audio
books, the audio books. I wanted
to tell you because I was
listening to bit of DHL
unplugged which you can listen
to on Tuesdays they do it live.
Is it nine Eastern? And it goes
on now? Yes, it's six o'clock.
Well, West Coast coming up on
episode 700. Help. Yes, those
guys. Oh, the reason why Spotify
got the bump. This is great
story. They, you know, they
added audiobooks. And because
they have audio books, there's
some law, or some I would call
the loophole in the law, that
they now are not just providing
music, forget the podcast part
from home. They're not just
providing music, but they're
providing a bundle, which means
they can give the artists 25%
less money. That's why their
cost just went down by 25%.
Because each user that actually
pays or there's money coming in
from ads, they have to give less
to the artists because they're
now a bundle company instead of
just a music company. That's why
what yeah,
John C Dvorak: they miss that
one is beautiful. Genius. Oh
Adam Curry: Swedes man,
John C Dvorak: we're bitching
about tick tock. Yeah. Spotify
people should be the ones that
are exploring ated just stealing
from the poor creators.
Adam Curry: Refrain from
comment. While speaking of guns,
you said something about you
when a weapon. New York is now
off their rocker. But apparently
it's YouTube's algorithm now
under fire
Unknown: strong words tonight
from the district attorney of
Manhattan aimed at YouTube for
an algorithm that promotes video
Go showing kids how to build an
illegal fire. They're calling
it games to guns and law
enforcement believes YouTube
isn't doing anything to stop it.
Even though it's already against
the company's policy. Da Alvin
Bragg reached out to the CEO of
YouTube about those guns on the
streets.
Talking about gun and Saturday.
Here's why when Susan Porter
Darla miles, all
you need is a computer and house
in an interesting game. And you
can go from from games to guns
in 15 minutes.
Here we see investigators
conducting a Call of Duty search
on YouTube, that with just a few
clicks can lead to videos about
how to assemble guns that in
real life kill people.
This is an algorithm that is
driving people in particular our
use of a few clicks from
watching a video game, to being
able to build guns to then in
turn, walking around with ghost
guns on our street and then in
our office because we've charged
him with a crime
Manhattan district attorney
Alvin Bragg and senior
leadership of city ghost gun
enforcement calling out YouTube
Wednesday afternoon, the DEA
sending this letter to the CEO
of YouTube about instructional
videos on how to assemble a
ghost gun being actively pushed
by YouTube's algorithms to
minors who begin watching clips
of video games. Now there
Adam Curry: you go. They've got
a ghost gun department in New
York. I like
John C Dvorak: it. Yeah, but I
don't like to Add New York's do
and I like the idea that and go
on YouTube and figure out how to
put together a ghost gun. That's
cool. Just for YouTube.
Adam Curry: I have one clip I
wanted to play, which is one of
the anything you see on C span
anything that is done in Senate
in these hearings. It's all
showboating. It's all like, look
at me Look at me, I'm
Representative waltz, and I'm
holding the Air Force to account
this
Unknown: bag of bushings stamped
by machine I don't need a heist
don't need a high school
diploma. It's not not anything
high tech about this. All of
this bag is compliant with the
FAA specifications. How much do
you think the Air Force pays for
this bag of bushings? I don't
know, Congressman $90,000. This
is a $90,000 bag of bushings
that you need for any jet
turbine engine just to operate.
So the exorbitant cost due to
DOD only buying commercial parts
from the OEMs, which essentially
sole source is literally driving
us out of business. I mean, the
interest on our debt alone is
now exceeding for the first time
in American history. The entire
defense budget, we can't afford
it anymore. Oh,
Adam Curry: it costs it costs
100 bucks that bag of brushes.
And we're paying 90, Chagas
John C Dvorak: bushings, brushes
Adam Curry: bushings. And we're
paying 90 $90,000 for it. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: this is nothing
new. But if you want to talk
about show, buddy, I have two
clips. All right. By the King,
the King John Kennedy, who I've
realized is a ridiculous show
boater. Yeah, he's funny,
though. He's very funny. And
he's got he should have his own
channel on YouTube. Because
there's probably 1000 videos of
him badgering witnesses. Yeah.
And he does the best job because
what he does is he first he gets
you to admit that you're an
expert. And then he starts
asking questions that you can't
answer. And then he doesn't
understand what you can answer
since you're an expert. And will
let me then and he keeps asking
the same question over and over
to humiliate these people. And
he, but I kind of admire who he
humiliates, because in this
case, it's his woman, Zarkon
Milon, who is some sort of a
consultant to the government.
And she's a social truth,
justice warrior who happens to
know something about tax law. So
he brings her on it just to get
her to answer a couple of simple
questions. I take his side on
this, but at the same time,
realize that John Kennedy is
more of a kind of a show a bit
showman in the way he does this
and it but it's enjoyable. I
think there's a good break for
us, especially after analyzing
the legislation. So here we go.
Unknown: Ms. Mellon is your is
your expertise in the area. Mr.
Bond made this distinction? Is
your expertise in the area of
tax avoidance or tax evasion or
both?
I would say both. I think the
lines there's a shame situations
where the lines might get
blurry, especially on the
corporate side. But in my it's
both, it's both in short, it's
both. Do
you believe that there are major
American corporations that are
cheating on their taxes?
I think I think yes, there are
cases where the transfer pricing
regulations are not being
followed and Mr. Crisis
testimonials to that.
Who are the who are the five
name the five American court
separations that are the biggest
tax cheats. Maybe
Adam Curry: I should I should
mention that she is from the
fact coalition and I believe
elsewhere, but I believe these
are the people who want a global
tax. Am I correct in saying that
John C Dvorak: you might be
right. But the bigger question
is, Who names their daughter?
Zor? Ken?
Unknown: Well, this is this is a
question for the IRS. It's their
job to enforce the laws. So I
wouldn't.
That's a pretty serious
allegation you made there. And
I'm just asking you who they
are.
There are cases pending against
a number of companies until they
those cases conclude I am not
Who do
you think they are? You're an
expert in this area. I'm just
asking you. You talked a lot.
And I've read some you writings
about American corporations
cheating on their taxes? I'm
just asking you they are.
I wouldn't use the word
cheating. I think that they are
taking advantage.
In your testimony.
I'm sorry, your testimony.
I'm just I'm not trying to trick
you. I just want to know you.
You have been very vociferous in
saying that American companies
are cheating. Okay, you will
America, you're entitled to your
opinion, but you're an expert,
and just tell me who they are.
I stand by that. I think that
there is evidence to suggest
that some of these companies and
the IRS has pursued cases
against a number of the
companies that Mr. Curtis has
analyzed, including Apple and
Microsoft, and I wouldn't say
tax cheat. I think that's
putting it too strongly. And I
didn't use that word, then who
are they?
Adam Curry: So she's Serbian, by
birth, so that's why her name is
Zorka Zorka. The Serb? Surely
you've heard of her?
John C Dvorak: Is she? Yeah,
Orca. zorko. He just got he
hazards hanging dangling. And so
I hate to play these clips,
because they're pretty long, but
it's just fun to watch. Because
it's a style of that you anyone
can adopt. If you've ever done
testimony, if ever we're
especially with the government.
It's just a hone in on some
weakness, and just keep hounding
a person who refuses really,
it's just just a show showboater
herself, because she can't name
anybody. Here we go. I
Unknown: wouldn't I wouldn't say
tax cheats, but I think they are
crossing the legal lines that
have been set by Congress and by
the IRS in the relevant
regulations. And because the IRS
is outgunned, we are not able to
Adam Curry: do outgun they got
80,000 More VA positions to fill
and the money for it.
Unknown: Do you believe that
their major American corporation
cheating on their taxes? I
believe they are coming very
close to crossing the line and
it's difficult for IRS to line?
Are they crossing the line or
not?
Well, it's up to the IRS to
enforce the law. And if they
don't have to be your opinion,
you are an expert. I think
there's a good case to be made
that yes, they are prosecuted.
Yes. Yes. Who are they? That's
up to the courts and the IRS to
determine
your made this allegation. But
you don't want to say who they
are had. I mean, if you you know
who they are. You just don't
want to tell us.
I think that's that's that's
been explained by Mr. Curtis
values
to explain. You talk about tax
cheats. I'm just asking you who
they are. And you don't want to
tell us?
It's It's again, I think it's
for the IRS enforce it. I need
to make sure that the IRS is
properly
Do you have a list of these tax
sheets? No, no. Okay. Have you
been to the IRS and said, Here's
a list here of these companies
and they're cheating on their
taxes and I can show you how
they're doing
it. No, I'm not. That's that's
that's not I've I've never
practiced in that area of law,
tax whistleblower lawyer you've
done
is run around saying that
American companies are cheating
on their taxes. I can't tell you
who they are. And I haven't been
the IRS to show my data to the
IRS. But I want you to believe
me that they're cheating on me.
Adam Curry: I should have said,
but Mr. Sen. Snitches get
stitches. Don't you know that is
Unknown: is that your testimony
today? No,
Senator. No, that sure sounds
like I know. I think that the
case again, some of these
companies has been well
documented in the
public because I'm gonna run out
of time. Tell me in the last 23
seconds here, here's your here's
your chance. You believe there
major American corporations
cheating on their tax? You just
You just testified that I
believe you told me yes. Tell me
who they are.
I think they are the companies
that Mr. Curtis discussed in his
in his testimony. Tell me it
includes some of the big tech
companies or pharma companies
that are the five worst I don't
have a ranking I have not
compiled you don't want to say I
just I have and looked into that
you understand it makes it hard
to believe your allegations if
he won't tell us who they are.
talk's cheap. You ever heard
that expression? Thank you, Jim.
Adam Curry: That was good. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I mean, but this
is this is stick. He does what
he does, yeah, this stick here,
it gets old. You can't listen to
it all the time. But every once
in a while, you get some dummy
up there who's just swinging in
the wind, and he's just taking
potshots at her. Yeah. And it
continues, and it's just like,
they can't answer that question
at all. And it makes you wonder
about the cut incompetence,
basically, of all these
consultants and people that work
within the government are she's,
Adam Curry: she's this this fact
organization is a nonprofit 501
C three, they do about $5
million a year. And they have
not filed their 2020 to form
nine tax cheats. She's a tax
cheat, she's in default. Having
done 2022, let alone 2023. I'm
going to move to climate change.
Now the true biggest danger we
have amongst us in our our crazy
representative rented
representatives who we have
elected, who are all all of them
are all in on this. I doubt us
AIPAC funding it, but someone's
funding this climate stuff. And
finally, we have a lead a little
bit of we're going to turn up
the corner. And I'm going to
tell you what may be coming.
This is from CBS
Unknown: for some analysis we
want to bring on Melissa lon
she's a professor at Columbia
University's climate school.
Tell me what a climate emergency
is and and what that might
entail. I don't know if
Adam Curry: you heard this. But
President Biden has alluded to a
climate emergency that he might
be an executive order a climate
emergency what that
Unknown: might entail.
So when we talk about the
potential for the President to
declare a climate emergency,
what it's saying is, you know
what, there's a national
emergency going on, and I need
extra powers to be able to
respond to it to protect the US.
This is a contentious decision,
if it's made this discussions
come up many times. But if it is
made, then the President would
have additional powers in the
short term, and immediately
and what what might those powers
look like? And who would be the
first to be nervous about new
powers the President might have?
In other words, I mean, would it
be fossil Trump fuel companies?
What did? How would how might
that work?
Adam Curry: How about the
American citizens should be
worried about if Biden declares
a climate emergency? We're in a
state of emergency? That could
be COVID? Like powers? Could be
anything he wants? Once you have
emergency powers? It's just the
beginning of the fun. Yeah.
Unknown: So if the President
does this, he would have access
to a lot of empowers I know,
what's been talked about is the
ability to control how we're
able to sell fossil fuels, are
we able to export you're able to
send it to different parts of
the world. Now, obviously, the
countries that organizations
that depend on those exports,
they would be concerned about it
as the companies. But that's not
all that the President can do.
The president can do a lot to
bolster up the manufacturing and
production of clean energy
technologies, and combined with
some other powers that he has,
or that he could take advantage
of, he could move the needle
when it comes to climate change
and emissions. So it's a mixed
bag. I will say when you talk to
companies, uncertainty is the
worst. If I can plan around it,
I'm happy even if it's maybe not
the outcome, I want it to be
uncertainty of is this going to
happen? When might it happen?
And how might it be implemented?
is a stress point? Yes, a
Adam Curry: stress point. Here's
the best part. So yesterday
doesn't matter. Nozman. And he
brings back and Obama favorite?
Because the first thing you do
in an emergency is you get your
brown shirts on the streets.
Unknown: Let me just talk about
the climate corps. How do you
understand the climate corps and
what it's supposed to do it?
Obviously it echoes of FDR. of
Hitler. What what are we getting
from the climate accord, which
President discussed yesterday?
Adam Curry: From the climate
car, we had to check your
climate regulations in your
house? How was your thermostat?
You want the kind of car do you
have?
Unknown: Yeah, so the Climate
Corp is trying to address or at
least as an outsider, as a
professor University, when I'm
studying it, is trying to
address a couple different
things. One, we do not have the
workforce that we need. If we
want to reduce emissions, if we
want to clean up pollution, we
don't have people trained in
different skills. We
Adam Curry: don't have people to
clean up pollution. What what
does that even mean? Professor,
we don't
Unknown: have people trained in
the different skill sets that we
need. And we need them very
quickly if we're going to
respond to climate change, which
is already happening and already
affecting our health. So as a
result of that, how do you train
up those people at the same
time? show folks that there are
opportunities for all different
skill sets all different
backgrounds to contribute
positively in their communities
in their states?
Adam Curry: Everybody can join
the climate corps. It's fun kids
join the climate corps get a
cool uniform with an armband.
Yeah. These people are nuts. And
this is this has got to be my
favorite climate Kook is a new
climate Kook. So this is I think
this could be spun into a new
y2k bonanza. And of course,
we'll completely forget that
y2k. How about just for people
who are too young to remember,
you have to realize that in the
year 2000, and leading up to the
year 2000, we were told that to
your ramp to your ramp that the
world was going to it was over.
The world was going to melt
down. Just want to summarize the
y2k issue for everybody. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: there was a
round, I think it was 97. But
definitely by 98, someone had
figured out that when the year
2000 comes around, that all old
COBOL and other Fortran and
other programs which are
dominating some parts of
businesses couldn't get the
date, right, when we flipped to
the year 2000, all of a sudden,
it would become 1900, who knows
what. And because we'd go to 00,
as opposed to 98 wouldn't want
Adam Curry: to go to like 1976,
or something was going to reset
to some weird year, it was
John C Dvorak: going to reset
the 1900 As far as I remember,
but it was going to reset to the
wrong year and it was going to
screw up everything. Because now
nothing will work. Airplanes
will
Adam Curry: die VanCleave would
follow this
John C Dvorak: guy that with all
the ATM machines are either just
going throwing money away
Adam Curry: money printing out
of it. And
John C Dvorak: the lights of the
greatest gonna go down. By the
way, Alex Jones was one of the
top guys on this. Yeah. And I
still have some old clips from
him going, Oh, it's beginning.
As you know, the lights have
gone out in Cleveland. He was
all over it. And
Adam Curry: let me see do I
have? Do we have something of
Alex Jones on Joe Rogan wrong
about y2k? That's, that's what
is this? Oh,
John C Dvorak: no. Yeah, Alex
was all he was Major y2k nut.
And But meanwhile, what was
going really happening was that
the consultants were coming out
of the woods, they were
printing, they weren't the money
was literally printing money.
And I knew a couple of them. And
I and I was you know, I was
skeptical from the beginning,
because it didn't make any sense
to me that any of this stuff
would happen, because it does
just doesn't work that way. And
I had a couple of the greats, I
used to give a lot of speeches,
and I was my y2k speech was
generally a mockery of all these
predictions. Is
Adam Curry: this when your
public speaking career ended
around 2000? No.
John C Dvorak: Well, actually,
it did drop off a bit, because
speeches were quite popular.
And, but it was like, and it was
a big major deal. And it ended
up costing American businesses,
billions of dollars and fees and
fixes that didn't, weren't
necessary and everything in
between, and
Adam Curry: auditing, auditing
and auditing, auditing. And it
John C Dvorak: contributed to
the.com collapse and sunk the
economy. And it really never
recovered. And when it finally
recovered, it was 2007 2008 when
he had a secondary situation
where it was just folded. The
economy just went under the
under the tent that was going
down. The economy was never the
same, based on the two
constructs of that of the
99 2000 2001. Era. That was
the.com collapse combined with
the white to it y2k fiasco, a
scam. And it we've never fully
recovered from that that down.
Wow, that's things are much
better in the 90s than they are
today.
Adam Curry: Interesting. Well,
that's for sure. And that was
billions of dollars in 90 $99.
That's when a billion dollars
meant something. I mean, big
difference in inflation.
John C Dvorak: The y2k is still
well, an issue we have.
Adam Curry: We have a climate
change related y2k issue on the
horizon. The guy who's pushing
it in this clip is sketchy. He's
a professor, but I think he's
professor. Yeah, he's a
professor. But he I think he's
onto something I think I think
this could be played out people
will actually buy this,
Unknown: the more we see polar
ice melt, the more scientists
tell us that climate change will
have real world effects on our
lives. Melting glaciers likely
mean rising sea levels,
threatening our coastlines. But
it also means less ice at the
Earth's poles and more waterways
spread around to other places.
And that's leading to the earth
slowing down human activity has
changed the rotation of the
Earth. Not exactly like what
happens when Superman flies
around the earth and reverses
time in the movie, but enough to
actually slow down the rotation
of our planet. do a rotation
that's been speeding up slightly
for decades that
Adam Curry: trend slowed, turned
around and is now going in the
other direction. And that's all
because of the effect of global
warming. That's
Unknown: Duncan Agnew who runs a
study out of San Diego Scripps
Institute for oceanography. His
study says we may actually have
to subtract a so called leap
second from our atomic clocks,
because of the slowing planet. A
move that would be painful for
satellites, computers, not to
mention financial and energy
systems that rely on precise
timing.
Adam Curry: We've never had an
aided leap second before it's
hard enough synchronizing
computers when there's a new add
a second, but nobody's prepared
to do what's necessary when you
have to have a negative second.
Come on, man. I can see this one
spin and out. They can they can
ramp this up. They can ramp it
up
John C Dvorak: one thing I saw
this, and this Yeah, he doesn't
look right.
Adam Curry: Here he looks like
he's on the spectrum. He's got
some issues.
John C Dvorak: For sure. It's
okay that we have to add a leap
second, every few every so
often. I don't know what the
what the frequency is. But now
that it's going to be
subtracting one this is going to
cause nothing but Havoc is what
his theory is, is all because of
global warming if he stopped at
these problems wouldn't exist.
Exactly. And it's like, Oh,
please. This became a news
story. These people on the
networks, they, they really are
giving us lousy product. This
stinks. I mean, we just no good
we keep
Adam Curry: saying for more
years. But we can't. There may
be no more news to deconstruct
by that time, because no one
will want to hear it. I mean,
it's become so stupid. I mean,
we're gonna deconstruct Megyn
Kelly, what are we going to do?
John C Dvorak: I have COVID
stuff. COVID backs I thought was
funny.
Adam Curry: Okay, COVID Vax is
always funny because then I'll
talk about heart failures always
funny.
John C Dvorak: It's, it's, this
is McCullough, QA on a podcast
at the Brian Shapiro occupied
Democrats podcast where this is
an example of some of the worst
podcasting and, and types of
questioning that anyone can
imagine from any podcaster it's
as though we did the podcast is
as thus Hey, Adam, would you
agree with me that Oh, brother,
really? It's not I mean, that
style of living the wind
rational testimony?
Adam Curry: Yeah, leading the
witness. All right. Caller I
don't
John C Dvorak: know why he's on
this podcast or what he's got to
do with it. But this guy is one
of our you know,
Adam Curry: five caller is the
is the man we trust the man.
John C Dvorak: He's the guy.
He's the guy you listen to
because he does and he doesn't
put up with guff. And so here we
go put one up with guff
Unknown: talk about vaccines
with you. Would you agree with
me that the vaccines for COVID
have done far more good for
people in this country than the
NACA there are so many people
still that say COVID? The
vaccines have killed millions of
people that all these
professional athletes are dying
of myocarditis when it's just
not true. So would you agree
with me that the vaccines have
done far more good for people
than bad?
Adam Curry: I have to be I just
did an interview the other day
for a podcast, one of the
unheard of the union of the
unwanted who by the way, want
you? They really want Johnson a
union
John C Dvorak: of the unwanted
watch me? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Go figure. And you
get to like these long
questions. And like, would you
agree with me as I got this?
Yeah, this is very podcast it
Well,
John C Dvorak: what happened?
It's better wait. It's bad
podcast it and it stems from and
I believe it it's it evolves
from people listened to too many
Senate hearings? Yeah. Where the
senator says, Would you believe
me? And they tried to get does
beyond leading the witness? Is
it trying to pre answer the
question, but I have the sense
that this guy doesn't know who
Macaulay is because he's not
going to get away with any of
this. Well,
Adam Curry: but the logical
conclusion of what you just said
there is that all of our elected
representatives in Congress are
in essence, bad podcasters.
Exactly.
Unknown: Far more good for
people than bad. Well, what
evidence do you have for that?
What evidence do you have that
that all these people are dying
in the vaccines?
Well, let's just take let's take
safety first. Because we always
discuss safety before efficacy.
Would you agree with that? Sure.
Sure. Yeah. Right. So it doesn't
matter how good a product is. It
has to be safe. Would you agree
with that?
I don't think there's any
vaccination that's 100%
foolproof safe, you know that
okay,
but it would have to have
acceptable safety. Would you
agree with that?
It depends on your definition of
acceptable safety.
Adam Curry: This guy a doctor,
what is what is eat Have you
tried to torture us here? What
are you doing with it?
Unknown: We're in a global
pandemic, where at one point we
were losing 5000 Americans per
day. So obviously, these were
extenuating circumstances. But
go ahead.
But what would be your
definition of acceptable safety?
Well, I while I'm not a doctor,
and you are, I would say, in my
personal opinion, looking back
on half the world being
vaccinated, in fact, more than
half the world as you know, at
this point, there is no direct
evidence that these vaccinations
are people are dropping dead
left and right. And as you know,
specifically on right wing
media, and right wing talk shows
they claim that all these
professional athletes are dying
of myocarditis. Because of the
vaccines when they don't even
know if these people were
vaccinated. They don't know
their medical history. And it's
frustrating for me, doctor,
because I believe the vaccine
saved my life. I believe it
saved my parents life. And in so
many studies out there, you
know, listen, you could as you
know this, you can get COVID If
you're vaccinated, it didn't
give you a lesser chance of
getting infected or giving it to
somebody else. However, you are
in so many studies that I've
seen, and you can tell me if you
disagree, far less likely to get
the effects of having to go into
the ICU or possibly dying if you
were vaccinated. Am I wrong?
Yeah, you're wrong.
Adam Curry: What is the name of
this? podcaster?
John C Dvorak: It's the name is?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Brian Shapiro.
Yes, the
John C Dvorak: Brian Shapiro
occupied Democrat.
Adam Curry: I'm taking his
license away, removing his show.
John C Dvorak: So this is
another example. This is a like
the Kennedy stuff earlier
example of how to testify how to
respond and how to deal with
guys like this. This guy is so
bigoted. And so now mycologist
goes into you and stick it to
him.
Adam Curry: You're a doctor,
aren't you? Am I correct in
assuming you're a doctor?
John C Dvorak: And so I just
thought, yeah, I just thought I
actually had three of these. I
thought there was only two but
McCullough is, I don't know why
he's on this podcast. I don't
know what the point of it
Adam Curry: is. And we need he
needs an agent like, hey, hey,
Pete, don't do
John C Dvorak: podcasts like
this because Carlos is irked.
And this guy is like, Tim Poole
want to be this this podcast or
is fast talk or talk bla bla bla
bla bla, but he's all of these
podcasters come from I don't get
it. Bruce Lee, and what are
Adam Curry: you listening to
these things? So how does how do
you? How do you acquire this?
John C Dvorak: I acquire these
things through sources.
Unknown: And here's the reason
why the prospective randomized,
double blind, placebo controlled
clinical trials of the vaccines
never showed a reduction in
severity. They never showed a
reduction in hospitalization and
death. And what's come out over
time, is the virus has mutated
to become a much milder virus.
So as the vaccines were rolling
out, you know, we were being
confronted with a less mild
virus. The other thing, I mean,
a less severe virus more mild.
The other thing that happened is
we learned how to treat the
illness. So we treated patients
early, and we avoided
hospitalization and death. So
the two major things that saved
people's lives, were having
natural immunity from the first
round of infection. And then
early treatment. What happened
with the vaccines? Remember, the
vaccines came in late, you know,
so we're worried a year the
pandemic we've been treating
people for a year. The vaccines
come in late. And in a recent
paper by Norman Fenton from the
UK, he shown that there was
tremendous misclassification
bias. So when they declared that
there was a a, a epidemic of the
unvaccinated In fact, the
hospitals weren't, you know,
they had no they had no idea who
was vaccinated or not. They
didn't have connection to the
CDC vaccine records. They
weren't going in the ICU and
figuring out people on the
ventilator who were vaccinated
who weren't. In countries that
actually did have the vaccine
status like the UK, they found
far more vaccinated in the
hospital on ventilators and
dying than the unvaccinated and
in a paper by Shrestha and
colleagues from the Cleveland
Clinic, the least the lowest
risk workers that they have in
51,000 workers are the
unvaccinated and with every
single injection one is more and
more likely to get COVID-19
Adam Curry: So I presume this
tarde caster right away went
okay, well, I guess I was wrong.
As far as what happened?
John C Dvorak: Not really. I
mean, he's upset with himself
because he's convinced that the
VAX saved him and his family and
no, I don't think anybody ever
buys into the the the McCullough
narrative if they've already
assigned. I mean, once in a
while you see it on On threads,
you'll see a bunch of people
going up and down. Stop, stop.
Adam Curry: You're on threads.
John C Dvorak: What? No, I meant
threads. Oh, I didn't mean
threads. I meant on threads you
in other words, a bunch of
thread
Adam Curry: on a thread. Yes.
Yes. I'm sorry. I don't
John C Dvorak: even know how to
get on thread. But I don't know
why you'd stop me anyway.
Adam Curry: You read on threads.
I'm like, what? You're on
threads. Threads is a product I
thought you were on a
John C Dvorak: thread. So you
read it they're ever shown to
somebody that goes out? You
know, I got too many shots. I
got like set unit up to seven.
All right. I think it's seven.
Yeah. Oh, he's least and it's
the same useless shot, but they
keep getting them. And
Adam Curry: yeah, because they
only last 60 days now according
John C Dvorak: to even last he
didn't do anything with it
again, go you need to re
Adam Curry: up get a boost. All
right. So we just go into this
last clip here from this guy.
Yeah.
Unknown: Now the deaths that
have been reported after the
vaccine are unprecedented. Our
safety system for vaccines
records on average, half the
country takes vaccines in the
United States before COVID
records on average 150 deaths in
a year. On average, the COVID 19
vaccines roll out. And as we sit
here today, our CDC has verified
18,655 Americans dying after the
vaccine 1150 die on the same day
they take the shots, some die in
the vaccine center 1200 die the
next day. Now that's under
reported by a factor in FDA
testimony of about 30 We're
looking as we sit here today if
550,000 Plus Americans have died
after the vaccine, so this is
seen worldwide. There are calls
to pull these vaccines off the
market they're so grossly unsafe
because people die quickly after
taking them
Adam Curry: Ah yeah, it's it's
we just had a young a young mom
with three kids die here in
Fredericksburg husband finds her
dead in the morning. I mean this
is happening and and it's not
everybody thank God there's no
John C Dvorak: it's not it's
just a percentage, but it's a
high the number high percent and
if you just stop taking the
shot, that might be a good idea.
Adam Curry: I mean, and of
course no matter what happens
when someone dies suddenly you
can't help but think Zach's and
you don't want to ask? Actually
John C Dvorak: that's the that
is becoming a I think is
becoming a problem. Because
that's the is exactly right. The
first thing you think of, you
know, because you hear somebody
that guy's 33 is in perfect
condition is in great shape. He
is pumping iron dropped dead.
Yeah. From, you know, just had,
whatever it is a lot of
different things.
Adam Curry: Well, let's just
let's just listen to some
circumstantial evidence showing
circumstantial evidence from a
short little news report hear
things from Chicago
Unknown: notice and Ben patients
and their doctors are failing
when it comes to heart care,
heart failure rates are now on
pace to wipe out prior gains.
According to Jama cardiology,
long standing declines in heart
failure are now reversing heart
failure, death rates declined
from 1999 to 2005, then
plateaued to 2012. But from 2012
to 2019, mortality increased to
levels greater than decades ago,
the most troubling reversal was
for people younger than 45. And
it got worse in the pandemic,
Adam Curry: oh gee, no numbers
there. But it got worse. It got
worse. Oh, these people are
killing us, though. And so this,
of course, leads to other
issues. This is we have societal
issues, certainly in the United
States. And that is our well,
not just making babies but
they're actually calling it The
fertility rate. I don't know if
that means we're not fertile, or
we're just not reproducing but
it's a problem. fertility
Unknown: rate in the United
States has been trending
downward for decades. And now a
new report shows the rates the
lowest it's been in more than a
century. According to the data
from the CDC National Center for
Health Statistics. Between 2022
and 2023. There was a 3% drop in
the number of births that
brought the fertility rate just
below the previous low from
2020, which was 56 births for
every 1000 women. Well then
there was another drop in births
last year to less than 55 live
births for every 1000 women.
Meanwhile, Burke's continue to
shift also to older mothers.
Adam Curry: So of course, the
Biden administration's answer to
this is open the borders let
them all come in because we know
that we need to suppress wages.
We need to keep those low
especially with interest rates
so high as they are Ms. real
problem for the financial
institution. And a lot of this
is going on. There's he won't
talk about as we discussed in
the opening rants of people in
their cars, you should look for
Amazon drivers, Walmart drivers,
they're ranting in their cars
because they're not getting
these jobs anymore because it's
Venezuelans and other illegal
immigrants who have, you know,
basically cartels with phones
and they're, you know, they're
getting the ping and they answer
it right away and they got five
other guys in a car and they've
got you know, that they got no
licenses. They don't have
insurance, anything like that.
Anything of anything just
driving
John C Dvorak: to whole
countries gypsy
Adam Curry: cab. Yeah, it's Yes,
exactly. And that taking away
the gig workers gigs. And so
it's, it's a real issue. Now, of
course, you could call in the
curry Devorah consulting group
and say, What can we do to get
our birth rate up? Coronavirus
Consulting Group? Do you have an
answer? And we'd go, you know,
do you want to get something on
TV? You gotta go big pharma
baby. All right, we
Unknown: like to talk about the
health stories of the day. First
up a new study about men who
take Viagra and Alzheimer's,
right?
There's been a lot of buzz in
the medical world about the fact
that Viagra may actually
decrease the risk of developing
Alzheimer's. And a new study
came out that showed that there
was up to a 56% decrease. So
this is huge. Now when I first
heard his story, I thought,
Okay, well, it increases blood
flow to the genitals it will
increase blood flow to the
brain. Maybe that's how it's
working. But it turns out,
that's not the mechanism of
action. What's happening is that
folks that have Alzheimer's have
an accumulation of amyloid and
they also have an accumulation
of something called Tau protein
that causes tangles in the
neurons that causes the decline
in cognitive function. It turns
out that Viagra interrupts the
formation of these tau program.
I love
Adam Curry: this. Tell take
John C Dvorak: it all the time.
Take it every day.
Adam Curry: Actually, the ER
doctor told me that there is
some validity to this, that
there are all kinds of other
health benefits from the blood
flow created by Viagra. I find
it highly interesting. Take it
every day. Got to do something
with it.
John C Dvorak: I do I have to
pat myself on the back for early
spotting of a trend. And it's
just beginning to go on. This is
the parents of criminals bill in
Tennessee. Yeah,
Adam Curry: you're right. You
did spot this early on and this
is a thing parents
Unknown: might want to watch
their children a little more
closely tonight. A bill passed
in Tennessee will now hold
parents partially responsible
for crimes committed by their
kids. Hello, I'm Greg Hirsch.
Hi.
I'm Stephanie Scurlock. It comes
as part of an effort to curb
juvenile crime in Memphis and
in the state. WGS Ashley Paul
joins us now live outside of 201
poplar after speaking with
Sheriff Floyd Bonner, about this
bill and a couple of others that
will soon become
law. Ashley? Yeah. Well, it was
just yesterday that Sheriff
Bonner released a statement
expressing concerns over the
growing number of juveniles that
are staying at the Youth
Education and Prevention Center
and tonight when we spoke with
him, he he spoke with us about
some of the efforts being made
to curb that juvenile crime.
If we don't sound the alarm now,
what's gonna happen this summer
when the kids are out of school
130 and juveniles are spending
the night at the Youth Education
and Prevention Center tonight. A
slight dip from the 108 team
that were there yesterday but
uncomfortably close to the
record high 125 Since the center
opened last summer,
is calling all parents to please
please. Let's just take a look
at our T 's and what they're
doing and who they're hanging
out with.
WR eg sat down with Shelby
County Sheriff Floyd Bonner
today discussing these concerns
and a potential solution passed
today in Nashville. Under the
parental accountability act
after the first offense. Parents
of juveniles who commit a crime
will be required to pay $1,000
for each additional offense. If
they can't afford the fine, they
will be able to work it off
through community service,
and I had to go alone the
Interstate in my friends
neighbors loved one saw me
picking up trash, because
something that my son had done.
I think I would pay a little bit
more attention.
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Wait, what
and the kid just sits back and
kicks back and is on Tik Tok and
the parents are now cleaning up
the trash on the interstate.
John C Dvorak: That would be the
one of the issues. Yes, it
Adam Curry: was ultimate.
John C Dvorak: Now this Bonner
guy who sounds like this. This
southern dude is a big black
man. With a beautiful southern
Tennessee. That's a Tennessee
accent it is absolute classic
Tennessee accent and except it's
got a little more low notes.
Yeah, but this is the beginning
of the end. For bad parents. Oh
Adam Curry: wow well it's and
you think this will work?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I think it
will
Adam Curry: and at what
John C Dvorak: age is the funny
thing is started with start with
these white parents from the
shooter right and it immediately
and I first saw it when you said
it you said it's gonna be it
wasn't from that it was from
from a couple of years earlier
and I said it then when there
was a shooting a student
shooting it was in Lithuania or
some foreign country and they
arrested the parents and that
was the that was to me was the
trigger to do so that this is
happening and it's going to
happen it's going to take a
while but it's going to happen
in the parents are going to now
finally have to be responsible
for juvenile delinquency now,
it's their fault. Couple
questions.
Adam Curry: One, will this only
be up until age 18? I guess I
think so. Yeah. In that can I
just disown my child like, I
don't that I disown this child.
It's not mine. No, I can't do
that.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so.
No. I
Adam Curry: have one quick
story. In one clip. There was a
big frokost Apparently at Joint
Base Andrews. Have you heard
about this but Secret Service
agents on vice presidents a good
story Kamala Harris's detail.
They've got into a fight.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Do you ever
get Did you research this and
find out what the fight was
about? Well, yes,
Adam Curry: I did. So this
female Secret Service agent
showed up at the terminal and
was acting erratically grabbing
another senior agents personal
phone and deleting applications
on it. So she didn't like the
app involved
John C Dvorak: a female agent
Oh, it gets better.
Adam Curry: The other agent who
was the shift leader was able to
recover his phone and then acted
as if nothing had happened. But
the female agents bizarre
behavior did not stop there. She
began mumbling to herself,
hiding behind curtains, and then
started throwing items at the
other agents including menstrual
pads, telling him that he would
need them later to save another
agent and telling her peers that
they were going to burn in hell
and needed to listen to God. She
then screamed at the Special
Agent in Charge rattling off the
names of female officers on the
Vice President's detail claiming
they would show up and help her
and allow her to continue
working. At that point, other
agents on the scene believes she
was suffering from a mental
lapse. And as you think, and the
senior officer approached to
tell her she was leave relief
from the assignment. That's when
she snapped entirely. She chest
bumped and shoved her superior
then tackled him and punched
him. The agents involved
restraining her we're especially
concerned because she still had
her gun in a holster that
wrestled her to the ground, took
the gun cuffed her and removed
her from the terminal. There
seems like there's more of a
story behind this one. Yeah,
what was what apps were on his
John C Dvorak: phone? Well,
obviously she was having an
affair with someone. This is
what I'm thinking. Yeah. And
this is the Patreon era. What is
it? brighteners eighth fret.
fraternization fray Yeah.
Adam Curry: I can't get that one
out fraternize.
John C Dvorak: Can't can't do
that on the job but it happens
anyway. No matter whether you
want to or not, but you get this
psychos. Yeah, it's like
remember the net it was a NASA
astronaut that that was kind of
stalled can some guy and she was
sitting in there. Oh, yeah.
Remember see peeing in a bottle?
Oh, no.
Adam Curry: She wore a diaper
and adult diaper. I drive for
hours. That was a great story.
That was a good story. Ah, the
good old days. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: situations with
unstable people.
Adam Curry: So that was a great
story. Homeless. Psycho
John C Dvorak: diaper. Diaper
lady.
Adam Curry: I don't think that's
so old. I don't even have the
story anymore. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I guess to Texas
border clips.
Adam Curry: Well, hold on a
second. Because I need to bring
us up to speed on the bird flu
and then we got to take a break.
We're running late. Yeah, well,
yeah. Do bird flu because you
know, there's actually two clips
it's important because they're
starting to scare us now all
bird flu bird flu it's in the
mail because
Unknown: in the mail this
morning the FDA insists listen
to the urgency of his voice the
nation's milk supply is safe
safe after fragments of the bird
flu virus were found in some
milk samples stopped stopped to
clip
John C Dvorak: fragments. That's
how do you get how do you find
fragment?
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm glad you
asked. According to the FDA,
remnants of
Unknown: bird flu were detected
in samples of pasteurized milk.
What do we need to know?
Yeah, let me take you through
this headline because for sure
it's concerning and I'm gonna
get a lot of attention today.
Particles of the virus detected
in grocery store milk is not
really a surprise and I want to
tell you why. Remember back in
the COVID days, with PCR
testing, people were testing
positive weeks or even months
after being infected. Why?
Because that PCR detects
particles of the virus, not the
active live virus. Now
Adam Curry: you're okay, you're
full of crap. Dr. Jen, America's
favorite doctor, PCR tests, you
can find anything you want, as
long as you spin up enough
cycles. That's what's going on
here. And just I'm just pointing
this out, because we have to be
careful when they're using PCR,
which was never intended to be a
test of anything. According to
the guy who invented the test
and died just before COVID
kicked off. Yeah, this is so
this is this is why are they
doing this? I don't know. I'm
sure it has something to do with
the bird flu. I don't like it. I
don't like them bringing up this
John C Dvorak: from one of our
producers or producers when our
famous Duke producer says, Oh, I
think they're gonna get back a
mail in voting just before the
election. Why
Adam Curry: not? Well, I
John C Dvorak: think it's too
late. You can't pull this stunt
now. It's over.
Adam Curry: But they may try to
John C Dvorak: lay their lead
into mail and voting before
there was a build up it took a
while to propagandize the public
the public is a little hardened
against this or not gonna go for
this?
Adam Curry: No, I hope not. But
you know, look at all those kids
on the college campus all
wearing masks or bird flu
John C Dvorak: or maybe it's all
I think they're wearing masks so
they don't get detected by face
to face recognize. I think they
Adam Curry: all want to go work
for Goldman Sachs after school.
John C Dvorak: Don't want us
some list. For
Adam Curry: sure. They don't
want to be up put on some list.
Let's take our break John,
because I would like to say in
the morning to you and thank you
the man who put the sea in the
climate corps say hello to my
friend on the other end the One
Only Mr. Jobs
John C Dvorak: in the morning,
Mr. Adam Creighton Mr. Force
sees me the GM sent me and said
he needed somebody with
Bendamustine nights out there
and the monitor
Adam Curry: couple of them got
away, but I think I got most of
them. 1485 on the troll room
count we had 1456 the last
Thursday, so we're up. We're
barely, but a couple of them got
away. I couldn't count on my
hat, oh, trolls, they're hanging
out there in the troll room. And
the reason they're there is, is
because they love being our live
studio audience, our live studio
audience and it's, it's well
worth it. If anyone does a
podcast, you should just do it
live, do it live, and then have
a troll room because it makes
you feel alive. And it gives
everybody the sense of urgency.
You know, they all think they're
important is great. You know,
you get a portion of your
audience. Now where important
we're in the troll room, we're
doing it, and they actually are
and they get warmed up by Darren
Oh, the pre show guy is great.
Yes. You're welcome, says
Matthew, you're right. Thank
you. We appreciate it. You can
become a troll yourself by going
to troll room.io There's 24
hours a day, we have our no
agenda live stream going. And
you can there's always trolls in
there trolling other shows. And
then obviously, you can use a
modern podcast app, which I
recommend you do. Because if you
see what's happening with net
neutrality, see what's happening
is it's all going to become
you're all doomed. Get a podcast
app where your favorite podcast
will remain on it. It's
backwards compatible with any
other podcast you use. You can
search you can find him, you can
import it, podcast apps.com Now
I want to talk about value for
value. But I was actually
surprised to hear the tinfoil
hat podcast which you introduced
us to you introduced us to the
tinfoil hat podcast. So this got
Steve on here and Sam Sam
Tripoli, the comedian who I
called a sidekick and Sam is Sam
gets around he's been on the
Rogen show a lot you know he's
stand up he's got a special
coming out. And they discussed
value for value and accredited
us and and excel would you like
to hear them explain value.
John C Dvorak: I'm all in one of
Unknown: the things about you
know,
being shadow banned very, very
early on being demonetised on
YouTube very, very early on, is
it forced me to figure out if I
want to stick around here? Do
you know then I've got to have a
model that is going to allow me
to survive the obvious
deplatforming that I'm going to
face absolutely everywhere else.
And so that's why I do the value
for value system.
Adam Curry: So far so good,
right? I mean, he this is his
experience. Of course we
preempted or we started,
John C Dvorak: we skipped the
middle.
Unknown: We skipped the plan
crap.
John C Dvorak: I don't want any
of that stuff. Playing that what
is that? So Adam curry and
Jhansi Dvorak the guys from no
agenda. This is something that
they conceptualized when they
took the show full time. And
it's based on recognition that
the show that you're watching or
listening to has value. And
that's going to look different
to absolutely everyone. And
absolutely everyone is going to
have a different level of value
that they can contribute. I love
Adam Curry: that he's really are
a really gets it. I mean, I'm
loving hearing this this is and
I love the kind of stoner voice
when he explains it
John C Dvorak: a man. wish it
did you two guys is this Mr.
Steve?
Adam Curry: This is Steve
Sampson the background going
Yeah, right. Explain it.
John C Dvorak: So what are the
things that you really need to
make a show run? You need time?
You need talent, and you need
treasure? Okay, so that's the
value for value system. There's
some things that we need a hand
with Eclipse promotion, because
I hate it. You know, this
requires time, okay, well, if
you have some time, and you can
do that, please do that. Share
the show, throw a clip,
whatever, we've got a clip
channel, send it to us, we'll
put it on talent. That's where
making things overlaps to being
able to book guess, being able
to go out and have conversations
that allow for other people to
watch the show and stuff like
that. Do you make music, we'd
like to play it that kind of
thing. Talent, treasure, that's
pretty obvious. We have bills
that we have to pay kids growing
and like to eat, all that kind
of stuff. So if you don't have a
lot of time, if there's things
in the digital space that you're
not great at, but you do have
some coin you're sitting on
great, you know, and at whatever
level of ability or
comfortability you have
participate, because the only
way the show happens is that
way. And what that ultimately
means is I never worked for an
advertiser, I never worked for a
sponsor. I am 100% self
sufficient. And if necessary,
the show can go out in freakin
you know, USB drives and direct
email and stuff like that. I
love it, but doesn't come to
that. No, we
Adam Curry: hope that doesn't
come to that. But well done.
Boys Over there. tin foil hat.
Perfect explanation.
John C Dvorak: That is that's as
good as that is anyone could do.
That's that's hits all the
points it does. Makes everything
clear. And it's sincere. That's
the key. Yes.
Adam Curry: And after 17 years,
it's good to see someone else
picking up on it.
John C Dvorak: It's been a weird
sincerity that you said from the
beginning. I have at least that
you need sincerity. You're not
asking for money. insincerely
No,
Adam Curry: we're not. No, no,
but it's the real deal. I mean,
these you you want your show
provide value back time, talent,
treasure, and since he was 2424
years old, void Zero has been
providing his time and his
talent, his resources to the
show and today he turns 40 years
old 16 years.
John C Dvorak: He has a real
business to Dan and we
Adam Curry: helped him start his
own business. That's right. And
we're very very proud of him and
he's on the birthday list but
first let us think some total
yes of course it's his birthday.
That's why he's on the list. But
he gets a special mention the
void zero man. Just get pawn
them off like I is Mark
birthday. Void zero, that guy.
But first, we need to thank one
of our talented artists for
bringing us the artwork for
episode 1653. We titled that
twigs, which is a new product,
formerly known as vines. That
was a great bid by the way that
a lot of people thought that was
very funny. It was a classic.
Well, the twigs. Yeah, here's a
classic Johnson moment. And Dame
Kenny Ben comes in again, with
with Uncle Joe's or Joe Biden's
uncle Finnegan with his legs
sticking out of the cannibal
pot. Not everybody got it right
away. But if you know you know,
and it was well done, and you
actually remarked that between
Dame Kenny Ben and Anton to
kneel, the N and of course
Martin JJ and others, that the
Dutch artists are really holding
true to their legacy of being
great artists. I mean, these
these are the modern Van Gogh
Rembrandt's Vermeer's I mean
these are well
John C Dvorak: I don't know
about that. But
Adam Curry: what do you mean
this is nitewhite Yeah,
John C Dvorak: great. Yeah,
Queen. Girl hit those people you
just mentioned but and there is
a tradition in in Holland of
great artists. By doing cartoony
show art for the no agenda show.
It kind of demeans, Vermeer? I
say a bit
Adam Curry: What do you mean
man? What do you mean but it's
John C Dvorak: but it's
interesting that there is this
it's it's in the blood or
something that allows this the
weirdness especially on I mean,
we're not at Dutch show no, no
we're not. And we do have three
at least three and maybe more.
That's Dutch. Does that
contribute winning art for yours
instantly
Adam Curry: for years and years?
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: and then we have
another one that's very
competitive. Who is Italian is
scatter a minor manga Yeah, we
have it's like this especially
that where's our Americans are
at the center of my sadena come
up the ball.
Adam Curry: We've got the
Michelangelo of Albemarle
Scaramanga. We
John C Dvorak: do have we do
have the if you look at the
leaderboard, yeah, who is number
one? Nick Duran Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: New Yorker. He used
to be really good. We don't know
what happened.
John C Dvorak: No, he doesn't do
any he doesn't. He doesn't. Yes,
once he does his own podcast,
he's in a sewer.
Adam Curry: We want to thank all
the artists who contributed we
love being able to choose
Scaramanga tried something with
the witch's Dame Kenny, Ben also
threw in ABC no agenda abc.com
Coloring Book. Couple of people
tried some twigs stuff. We kind
of liked Kenny Ben's Title Nine.
Were kicking the girl in the
crotch, but actually the one we
liked, but we knew we could not
do because it was just too much.
Was Scarah mangas lugs luxury
seaside jus mediums. Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah, that wasn't
gonna
Adam Curry: happen. Beautiful
piece got everything in there
virtual tours on twigs. 33
units. Welcome to Gaza. I mean,
John C Dvorak: it was a genuine,
it was a gem.
Adam Curry: Man, and then we had
comics, your blogger did some AI
which is kind of cute little kid
eaten sugar. But the AI stuff. I
mean, it's like, you know,
people like, Oh, we've got a
song for the we got a new tune
for our podcast. It's from Ai.
I'm like, Yeah, well, that's
obvious. Because it sucks. That
everyone is like doing AI stuff.
This you're gonna be bland man.
You need the human soul in
there. And out there now. And
now. The face bag is gonna get
into it. Now. I think we're I
think you're right. I think
we've, this is the the pivot,
the pivot of AI. There's nothing
left, nothing left. It's no
good. It's not working. And it's
expensive. And they're not
saying anything about the amount
of energy it cost to run these
things. And there's no
John C Dvorak: that's the key.
And there's no model she went to
in the era of you know, global
warming, the global emergency
global warming emergency or
whatever it is that you play the
clip.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah. Climate
emergency. Climate emergency.
Yeah. And I can tell you right
now, people doing a Trump with
farts, you're not going to be
chosen. So what are you
thinking? Don't you know us by
now? Don't you know us by now.
Thank you very much, David.
Kenny. Ben, you are fantastic.
All the artists are. And thank
you to Dred Scott, who uses
these all different pieces of
hard work in our chapters. You
need a modern podcast app for
that, but you probably have one
by now. If not, what are you
doing? You're doing it wrong.
And thank you again, no agenda,
art generated.com. Anybody it's
open for all anybody can
participate. And anybody,
everybody makes just as much
chance and it doesn't have to be
some slick piece. It's amazing
sometimes just the creativeness
that does it for us. So you
heard it there from the tinfoil
hat boys time, talent, we got
that covered and treasure. We go
to the treasure portion as we
thank our executive and
Associate Executive producers

find out if he has any more to
say. I'm suspending. Oh, this is
the switcheroo guy. I'm
suspending switcheroo donations
from Mr. Dana Brunetti governor
of Eldorado. Sadly, Mr. Dana has
hardened his heart so that John
may never get a bid part, hoping
someday he might relent and at
least let John have a free image
and likeness scan.
John C Dvorak: And go for that.
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Curry: He was really mad at
me, though, Dana. Oh, yeah, you

Tesla fan. I don't know why he
lives out in the middle of
nowhere. But he is
Adam Curry: yeah, when the cyber
truck when the apocalypse comes,
he's going to be dead. Because
the cyber truck won't walk won't
work. Although
John C Dvorak: he's got to write
out he's got about I think he
has like three or four testers.
The way you do it, is you hook
them all together. And you have
one test two or three testers.
And you keep driving to 70,000
psi and then the Tesla drops
down and there's nothing you can
do about you jump into next
Tesla and you drive some more
until it drops dead and then you
have another Tesla you jump into
that you can get across the
country that way. Any smart debt
Adam Curry: guy anyways, he says
I became a bonafide black bear

Now let's up it a bit with some
good news.
John C Dvorak: All right, so we
have a nine year old who won the
European he had to go to his
English kid. Seagulls screeching
contest nine year old wow this
is this is a new twist. Yes. Big
it's like the song Bureau's
vision. Eurovision wins cute
little kid that apparently had a
seagull snatch a ham sandwich
from him one year and he got bit
by the thing and they beat now
it sounds like one of
Unknown: the European song
contest with a difference the EC
goal screeching competition sees
entrance mimicking the sound of
seagulls Britain has just won
it. Thanks to a nine year old
from Chesterfield who traveled
to Belgium to claim the
championship title. Here's Sally
Biddle.
Yes, ladies and gentleman that
is a little boy dressed as a
seagull sounding exactly like a
seagull. From the cusp of
winning a seagull competition in
Belgium, channeling the emotion
of a Hungry Girl sealed the
victory No, you have not entered
a parallel universe. This is the
European girl screeching
competition. And with a score of
92 out of 100, the now reigning
Junior Champion Cooper Wallace
from Chesterfield. How you may
ask did it all begin? QR
colleagues this morning?
It was in Devon on Wall Akun
Beach, when one stole my ham
sandwich and it went over my
head and my finger. So I think
it's a Spider Man effect. This
eagle on the highest Cooper
beat off competition from many
others
including from an adult group
ensemble, which entered as a
colony. Cooper's family it was
an experience like no other
really,
really big day for me and like
it was awesome, fairly big news.
Adam Curry: Well, I love I love
that these children are not
scrolling on tick tock. No, no,

US Supreme Court today heard
arguments in the most
significant case on homelessness
in decades.
A majority of the Supreme Court
appear to side with the local
ordinances allowing cities to
ban homeless people for sleeping
or camping in public spaces.
These laws
punish homeless people who have
no other choice really but to
sleep outside.
Your ordinance prohibits a
single person who is homeless
and don't have to have a tent.
You don't have to have a camp.
These
were people who had lived in
Grants Pass their whole lives
and went to high school there.
But a crisis homelessness has
become in the state of
California.
Your statute says that person
cannot take himself can't take a
blanket and sleep someplace
violating this ordinance means
you're homeless homelessness is
not something you can do which
is something that you are we are
nine times more unsheltered
homeless
in a tent on the little league
field a dead body was found
officials say they only cyfle
arrest homeless people when they
refused offers of shelter and
only clearing cabins if they are
a public health issue.
Sleeping in public is kind of
like brief and then public. I'm
increasing the quality and
condition of our city's
deteriorating waste fires.
These laws help encourage people
to accept available shelter
people are dying on our streets.
Do
the homeless have some
constitutional protection from
being criminalized
unchecked growth of homeless
encampments,
the Biden administration who had
filed an amicus brief in support
of the homeless that's
what we see them all over on our
parks and our sidewalks in front
of businesses near schools.
650,000
nationwide isn't the real issue
here not moving people out of
public spaces, but actually
dramatically increasing the
amount of housing that we have.
I
know a lot of people want to
send blankets or water. Just
send your cash and your
statute says that person cannot
take himself can't take a
blanket and sleep someplace
and a lot of people want to send
blankets through water.
Just send your cash
