I don't know if he's Chinese American or 35 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:57,450 No, it's not too bad. But it's just his his. He has complete 36 00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:59,820 command of the English language, but it's just not a good look. 37 00:01:59,850 --> 00:02:02,250 Everyone's like, oh, Chinese Communist Party.

I mean, this is 44 00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:23,130 a whole this is a racial hearing. It's a racial hearing. 45 00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:28,170 And of course, social media stocks all show.

And this popped up this morning is no 48 00:02:39,630 --> 00:02:41,550 agenda nation is of course everywhere. 49 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:43,560 Unknown: What's not clear to me is if any of that is still 50 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,160 happening. 51 00:02:44,609 --> 00:02:47,189 Alright, let's talk to grant next independent in Lincoln, 52 00:02:47,189 --> 00:02:47,849 Nebraska. 53 00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:52,830 Hi, thank you for taking my call in warranty both welcome. I 54 00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:56,670 think that the whole national security stuff with the data 55 00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:01,890 that Tiktok has really falls to the wayside. It's just us, as 56 00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,890 the guests there said, it's like, it's a lot of 57 00:03:04,890 --> 00:03:08,070 grandstanding by the politicians. And the real issue 58 00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:12,180 behind all of this is money, advertising money. And that's 59 00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:17,400 something that tick tock equal, if not a superior competitor to 60 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,180 with Twitter and Facebook. And that because of the amount of 61 00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:25,440 engagement because the amount of users tick tock has the ability 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,100 to bring in a lot of advertising money because of the targeted 63 00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:32,640 targeted advertising that they can offer. That is basically 64 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:37,080 eating Facebook and Twitter's lunch. This is an opinion that I 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,140 agree with, that was shared with Adam curry from the no agenda 66 00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:40,410 show. 67 00:03:43,650 --> 00:03:45,990 Adam Curry: Right away, right away, she goes to cut them off, 68 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:48,450 of course. But here's the interesting thing, the girl you 69 00:03:48,450 --> 00:03:52,890 heard at the beginning, and I say girl, because she's girl is 70 00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:56,070 the technology reporter from Axios. And she agrees 71 00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,040 Unknown: this is an opinion that I agree with. That was shared 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160 with Adam curry from the no agenda show. But I think that 73 00:04:02,190 --> 00:04:02,550 when 74 00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:04,080 so grant, I've got a question for you. 75 00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:07,740 Adam Curry: I actually turned him down. Did you hear that? The 76 00:04:07,740 --> 00:04:10,650 no agenda show and they turned his volume down. You can 77 00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:13,350 actually hear it go down as she's as she's told to interject 78 00:04:13,950 --> 00:04:16,830 Unknown: an opinion that I agree with. That was shared with Adam 79 00:04:16,830 --> 00:04:19,890 curry from the no agenda show. But I think that with 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,590 so grant, I've got a question for you so much. 81 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:24,600 Adam Curry: They turned him down. I turned him down. 82 00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:25,920 John C Dvorak: I wasn't that much. 83 00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:27,900 Unknown: So grant, I've got a question for you. Do you not 84 00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:31,470 think it being owned by a Chinese company is a national 85 00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:32,850 security issue at all? 86 00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:39,270 I think it's an issue but I think that it I think that it 87 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:44,580 falls second to the amount of money that is being advertising, 88 00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:48,120 advertising, financial connections that politicians 89 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,390 have with these big social media companies got it even better had 90 00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:51,780 Ashley 91 00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:56,250 so you make a good point. Tik Tok has been very, very 92 00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:57,090 successful. 93 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,900 Adam Curry: Last fall 94 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:04,860 Unknown: also just been really popular in general. And 95 00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:05,910 Facebook. 96 00:05:06,270 --> 00:05:08,190 Adam Curry: This is the Axios technology reporter 97 00:05:08,460 --> 00:05:09,000 Unknown: advertising. 98 00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:13,590 Adam Curry: General. Our guys sounds like someone who knows 99 00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:15,510 what's going on. Granted, 100 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:17,850 John C Dvorak: she sounds like a dingbat from the valley. 101 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,120 Unknown: They've also just been really popular in general. 102 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:27,570 Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have taken notice of competition 103 00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:31,200 that they get from Tik Tok. And that contributes to a lot of 104 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,020 what you hear from these other social media companies. But 105 00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:37,380 Adam Curry: the problem is, is that, you know, they get these 106 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:41,880 technology and she's the Axios is not a not a fly by night 107 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,880 operation. I mean, Axios is, oh, she's probably getting paid good 108 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,470 money, but she's very serious news or a news organization. And 109 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:50,580 but you know, she knows about 110 00:05:51,090 --> 00:05:52,440 John C Dvorak: Iran jobs, of course, 111 00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:55,350 Adam Curry: it Oh, and she owns that had shown all that. 112 00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:57,810 John C Dvorak: I believe she's one of the main owners. So I was 113 00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:58,140 like, Oh, 114 00:05:58,590 --> 00:06:01,410 Adam Curry: who's that? Who's on the technology beat? Boy? Yeah. 115 00:06:01,410 --> 00:06:04,950 Oh, that's her because she has a phone. She understands tick 116 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:08,730 tock. That's exactly what it feels like. It's like, this is 117 00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:09,870 not someone who understands 118 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,470 John C Dvorak: me the old this is happened to everybody out 119 00:06:13,470 --> 00:06:19,140 there knows these stories. Back in 1980. Ish. Era. It was like, 120 00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,660 We need somebody know something about technology and find 121 00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:24,930 someone.

Yeah, he's the guy making VP of technology. 123 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:31,560 He's got a home computer. 124 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,430 Adam Curry: Remember, that was a whole era. So nothing has really 125 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:38,880 changed. She's got a phone, make her make her reporter of 126 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,600 technology 127 00:06:40,410 --> 00:06:42,990 Unknown: has been very, very successful in the digital 128 00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:43,950 advertising realm. 129 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:48,840 Adam Curry: What is digital advertising realm? I mean, isn't 130 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,810 Can't you just say they've been very successful. They've done $7 131 00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:54,540 billion in advertising and they're poised to do more. 132 00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:57,930 That's the report. Know, the advertising realm. 133 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,310 Unknown: They've also been really popular in general. And 134 00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:04,740 Adam Curry: so that's cop speak. It's 135 00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:07,050 John C Dvorak: like you add a bunch of words you don't know. A 136 00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:08,580 professional writer. Good point. 137 00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:12,060 Unknown: Oh, you make a good point. Tik Tok has been very, 138 00:07:12,060 --> 00:07:16,830 very successful in the digital advertising realm. They've also 139 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,450 just been really popular in general. And Facebook and 140 00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:25,470 Twitter and YouTube have taken notice of the competition that 141 00:07:25,470 --> 00:07:27,330 they get from Tik Tok. And 142 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,810 Adam Curry: the half taken notice of the competition 143 00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:34,800 really, really technology lady they have taken notice is that 144 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,050 is that is that your analysis of the situation 145 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,190 Unknown: and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube have taken 146 00:07:41,190 --> 00:07:44,850 notice of the competition that they get from tick tock. And 147 00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:48,090 that contributes to a lot of what you hear from these other 148 00:07:48,090 --> 00:07:53,160 social media companies. They may you know, place ads behind other 149 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,980 groups that they're secretly funding or not so secretly, 150 00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:57,120 saying, tick tock, 151 00:07:57,150 --> 00:08:00,270 Adam Curry: what did she say by the way? Axios higher grant. 152 00:08:00,810 --> 00:08:03,990 Grant is the guy you want on this beat, not this dingbat. And 153 00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:04,830 what is this?

And that 158 00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:19,470 contributes to a lot of what you hear from these other social 159 00:08:19,470 --> 00:08:24,210 media companies. They may you know, place ads behind other 160 00:08:24,210 --> 00:08:27,060 groups that they're secretly funding or not so secretly, 161 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,790 saying tick tock is a national security threat. 162 00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:33,900 Adam Curry: Oh, what she's saying is that YouTube tick tock 163 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:38,610 and Twitter and Facebook and we've taken notice, are placing 164 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,010 ads saying that tick tock is a national security issue. So 165 00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,680 which is called lobbying as well. I mean, you know, 166 00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:49,020 John C Dvorak: or she said groups that they're secretly 167 00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:50,520 funding which would be a lobbying group. 168 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:54,000 Adam Curry: Yes. Oh, well, okay. What group will she rise, she 169 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,530 rises in my esteem all of a sudden, 170 00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:58,980 Unknown: and YouTube have taken notice of the competition that 171 00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:02,820 they get from Tik Tok. And that contributes to a lot of what you 172 00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:06,480 hear from these other social media companies. They may you 173 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,080 know, please, 174 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,980 Adam Curry: shoot okay, this is interesting. She says she hears 175 00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:13,890 from these other social media companies because it's her beat. 176 00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:17,190 So does she hear this from them directly? Is this a is this a 177 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,650 source is an anonymous source. This is very interesting. 178 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,520 Unknown: They may you know, place ads behind other groups 179 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,180 that they're secretly funding or not so secretly. Tik Tok is a 180 00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:30,870 national security threat. And in baby they believe those things 181 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:33,420 but what they also believe is that tick tock is major 182 00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:37,050 competition and shipping into their dominance. So there's a 183 00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:40,980 lot of idea I mean, when big tech companies are accused of 184 00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:44,760 being monopolist, they like to point to tick tock as thriving 185 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,630 competition. Look at tick tock. They're getting making so much 186 00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:52,080 advertising dollars. They're hugely popular among younger 187 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,960 users, which is a you know, a declining demographic for 188 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,620 Facebook. But in situations like this, it's also really 189 00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:02,610 advantageous for Mehta and Twitter and YouTube and other 190 00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:05,730 companies to say, Well, yeah, it is a national security concern. 191 00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:07,320 And you know, we're an American company. 192 00:10:07,650 --> 00:10:10,260 Adam Curry: So she agrees with our guy. And that was that had 193 00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:13,230 not come up in the conversation until grant Producer Grant 194 00:10:13,230 --> 00:10:16,440 stepped in and said, everybody straight on the channel that no 195 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,310 one watches, 196 00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:20,250 John C Dvorak: which is great. Well, that could trigger a 197 00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:21,450 cascade effect. 198 00:10:21,810 --> 00:10:24,150 Adam Curry: Doubtful. Doubtful. I 199 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:26,490 John C Dvorak: don't know. I mean, Chris, you've been 200 00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:31,170 hounding it on this show for a while. Yeah. Six months? Well, I 201 00:10:31,170 --> 00:10:33,720 Adam Curry: can't wait to listen to some of the testimony because 202 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,330 I'm sure there'll be some shortly. Well, we'll see exactly 203 00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:40,590 who's compromised but I'm gonna say Rubio top of the list 204 00:10:40,590 --> 00:10:45,600 because he's Mr. Security. Hallie, I think is probably 205 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,930 compromised, although I don't want him to be but I mean, come 206 00:10:48,930 --> 00:10:51,180 on, and enter the 207 00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:52,830 John C Dvorak: wall. He has to be compromised. There's no 208 00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:53,550 question about 209 00:10:53,550 --> 00:10:55,470 Adam Curry: it. And Wall Street Journal did report that a group 210 00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:58,800 of Silicon Valley executives, including investor Peter Thiel, 211 00:10:58,890 --> 00:11:03,300 and Washington lawmakers are quietly mobilizing against 212 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,080 China's involvement in the US tech industry. Ahead of tick 213 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,070 tock chief executive Xu Zhi choose Capitol Hill testimony. 214 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,460 John C Dvorak: Now Aren't those the same guys like Peter Thiel, 215 00:11:14,460 --> 00:11:18,030 they were all for like net neutrality and open internet and 216 00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:21,600 heaven forbid, the Chinese are, are gonna block the internet and 217 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,660 the Iranians are gonna block the internet. So we're gonna block 218 00:11:24,660 --> 00:11:27,330 the internet. Where's this work? I'd like to understand where 219 00:11:27,330 --> 00:11:29,820 somebody from that group tell me what's going on 220 00:11:29,850 --> 00:11:32,430 Adam Curry: spearheading the effort to create bipartisan by 221 00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:37,530 coastal alliance of China hawks is Jacob Hellberg, former Google 222 00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:41,040 policy adviser who is the newest member of the US China economic 223 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,840 and security review commission.

But you take off you turn off 235 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,330 Tiktok you take that away from the American people people will 236 00:12:30,330 --> 00:12:34,650 lose their shit this is not this is not something to be dealt 237 00:12:34,650 --> 00:12:39,420 with lightly.

In our 250 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,490 world I do have the body of a hawk but well fronting I 251 00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:14,490 consider myself with Aryan because I'm in a human body but 252 00:13:14,490 --> 00:13:18,090 my identity is still a hawk. Not all animal altars will identify 253 00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:21,330 this way and I am in fact the only animal alter in our system 254 00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:24,600 who does identify this way. I am doing my best to come to terms 255 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,280 with living in a human body talk 256 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:27,600 talk to talk. 257 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:33,240 John C Dvorak: There you go now that's gonna really that's gonna 258 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,020 submarine the American way. What he's trying to get some 259 00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:38,550 information on that chick. 260 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,970 Adam Curry: Take her. We sacrifice her China, you can 261 00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:46,290 have her give back. We want to keep tick tock just give it to 262 00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:53,310 her. So phenomenal. I love it. It is it is so embarrassing that 263 00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:58,020 these lawmakers, the elected officials are going in on this. 264 00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:01,320 And I heard a little bit of the testimony this morning. Just 265 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,640 talking about things that Facebook Mehta basically and, 266 00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:10,800 and Twitter and Instagram, they do this they are the ones that 267 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,760 build profiles. They just don't have the best profiles anymore. 268 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,870 They have the go ahead look at YouTube. It's all 11 269 00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:20,970 John C Dvorak: They may it may or may not have the best 270 00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:24,750 profiles but does anyone think people like that tick tock has 271 00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:26,730 better profiles to get nothing? 272 00:14:26,970 --> 00:14:30,330 Adam Curry: No as we discussed they because of the of the 273 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,830 culture of tick tock. They have more about the YouTube is people 274 00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:38,130 doing shows mostly used to be YouTube Broadcast Yourself. Tick 275 00:14:38,130 --> 00:14:41,250 tock has become the broadcast yourself. And as we discuss 276 00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:44,700 computer vision, they have the right content to know more about 277 00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:46,920 people what we're at what they have in their house, what 278 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,650 they're reading all this stuff they do. I think they have 279 00:14:49,650 --> 00:14:55,410 better profiling, whatever they have, it's working better. That 280 00:14:55,410 --> 00:15:00,570 it's way in the way is that companies are we've read email 281 00:15:00,570 --> 00:15:03,810 after email of companies saying we're moving all of our 282 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:08,340 advertising to tick tock. That's the better way, who cares how it 283 00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:09,750 has a better ROI. But 284 00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:11,760 John C Dvorak: don't you think a lot of that has to do with just 285 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:17,070 the reach? And the way that tick tock works and operationally 286 00:15:17,070 --> 00:15:19,620 slipped the ads in? Yes. And I don't think it's because they 287 00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:23,340 have better whatever, yeas on the American public 288 00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:26,760 Adam Curry: what? No, they have better profile information on 289 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,480 their users. That's all and it's not dossier information. It 290 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,930 doesn't even matter. It's better. It's better. And I don't 291 00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:37,800 think it's the algorithm either. It's better. You know, why does 292 00:15:37,830 --> 00:15:41,610 Why did orchid not work? And why did Facebook work? You can't 293 00:15:41,610 --> 00:15:44,550 even explain you can try and dissect it. No one really knows. 294 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:47,730 Unknown: Why did Google Places for that? Why 295 00:15:47,730 --> 00:15:50,280 Adam Curry: did Google Plus not work? I mean, you can't because 296 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,590 John C Dvorak: Google doesn't know what they're doing. When it 297 00:15:52,590 --> 00:15:54,180 comes to social anything. 298 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:58,320 Adam Curry: We're saying the same thing we're saying doesn't 299 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,320 even matter. They're kicking everyone's ass. They don't have 300 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,160 any information, more information that is detrimental 301 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,530 to the American public. No, they also have 5 million creators. 302 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,820 Boy do I despise that word creators and they're paying them 303 00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:18,840 10 times more than YouTube? You want to see you want to see a 304 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,220 shitstorm in those 5 million people all of a sudden their 305 00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:26,850 checks come in and of course they're smart. They just oh you 306 00:16:26,850 --> 00:16:29,340 know what how do we how do we get how do we get more creators? 307 00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:34,260 Oh, I know. Let's pay them more. Everybody's over there. 308 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,600 John C Dvorak: That's the American way I don't understand 309 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,440 why they're blaming the Chinese for everything it's it's this 310 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,910 whole thing not the Chinese 311 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:46,290 Adam Curry: way this is a witch trial it is it is it is not the 312 00:16:46,290 --> 00:16:50,490 American way to do this with competition is pathetic. And I 313 00:16:50,490 --> 00:16:53,040 think and I think so what are they saying? Well you have to 314 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,700 publish your algorithm at I've Okay, fine, we'll publish the 315 00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:59,910 algorithm what what they really want is they want it to be an 316 00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:03,630 American company so they can go in and say hey, do you want the 317 00:17:03,630 --> 00:17:08,250 IRS to be on your ass now then you do what we say you filter 318 00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:12,030 that person out you know amplify this message that's what they 319 00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:15,450 want that that can be can be nothing else. They want 320 00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:16,890 compliance. I'm not 321 00:17:16,890 --> 00:17:19,140 John C Dvorak: going to argue with defected that they don't 322 00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:23,820 have the control that they have with everything. You will never 323 00:17:23,820 --> 00:17:25,440 Adam Curry: agree with me You always say I'm not going to 324 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,440 argue with you. It's phenomenal. was a phenomenal way. 325 00:17:29,310 --> 00:17:33,120 John C Dvorak: I agree with you. I'm not gonna disagree why? They 326 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,370 don't have it with tick tock is completely out of control. They 327 00:17:35,370 --> 00:17:37,350 have the hot girls on there.

This is totally talking about 348 00:18:54,510 --> 00:18:57,930 Unknown: on friendly terms with Russia. China's President Xi 349 00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:00,990 Jinping was at the Kremlin on Tuesday to meet with President 350 00:19:00,990 --> 00:19:04,350 Vladimir Putin. He's an increasingly isolated figure on 351 00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:07,290 the world stage, launching his war on Ukraine. 352 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:12,840 We are each other's biggest neighbor. We are also 353 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,630 comprehensive strategic partners. For years our 354 00:19:15,630 --> 00:19:18,510 relationship has withstood the test of various changes and 355 00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:20,370 become firmer as time goes by. 356 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,840 She declared China was neutral on the invasion and the two 357 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,740 leaders discussed Beijing's peace plan to end the war and 358 00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:32,520 proposal written so far without input from Ukraine and dismissed 359 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,640 by the US for cementing Russian gains and giving it time to 360 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,090 regroup as well as diplomatic ties that they strengthened 361 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,810 economic ones with a close to finalize deal that would see 362 00:19:42,810 --> 00:19:47,520 Russian gas transported to Asia. The power of Siberia pipeline to 363 00:19:47,550 --> 00:19:51,630 won't come online until 230. But could render any further 364 00:19:51,630 --> 00:19:55,650 European sanctions on Russian gas far less effective. It's 365 00:19:55,650 --> 00:19:59,070 part of a wider push for the two countries to work together. 366 00:20:00,210 --> 00:20:01,050 Adam Curry: By combining 367 00:20:01,050 --> 00:20:03,570 Unknown: our rich scientific potential and industrial 368 00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:07,320 capacity, Russia and China can become world leaders in 369 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,100 information technology, network security, weapons and artificial 370 00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:11,730 intelligence. 371 00:20:13,019 --> 00:20:16,229 Russia and China, a joint statement affirming that the 372 00:20:16,229 --> 00:20:19,439 strengthening of their ties is not meant to be confrontational 373 00:20:19,439 --> 00:20:23,399 to other countries, the cold conference, Ukraine and its 374 00:20:23,399 --> 00:20:23,969 allies. 375 00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:33,030 Adam Curry: Yeah, and then, I guess the translation was 376 00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:36,090 between the exchange between GE and Putin as they were saying 377 00:20:36,090 --> 00:20:40,770 goodbye as dear friends. We're, we're making change together. It 378 00:20:40,770 --> 00:20:43,110 hasn't happened in 100 years, and they're right, you even put 379 00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:46,470 that in the newsletter. It's this. It's what is happening. 380 00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:48,510 John C Dvorak: This is not supposed to have happened when 381 00:20:48,510 --> 00:20:51,630 they opened up China when Nixon and Kissinger figured out how to 382 00:20:51,630 --> 00:20:54,690 do it. And they did it. The whole idea was to keep China 383 00:20:54,690 --> 00:20:58,920 from partnering its Russia, den in every president ever since 384 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,150 his job has been to keep China and Russia from partnering. And 385 00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:07,680 meanwhile, here comes Biden. Yeah. Biden, in the staff from 386 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,370 the Obama administration, they managed to do it. I have to 387 00:21:11,370 --> 00:21:12,930 assume they wanted to do it. 388 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,110 Adam Curry: Well, we've always thought that Obama was a chai 389 00:21:16,110 --> 00:21:20,040 calm. Well, he seems that remember when he was bowing to 390 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:20,340 them? 391 00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:25,590 John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He's cold calling. Yeah. Cow 392 00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:28,710 Adam Curry: telling and bowing. Yeah. You got a China stuff. 393 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,500 John C Dvorak: They have plenty of China's stuff. I guess in 394 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:34,980 China economy discussion. This is my week of doing some NTD 395 00:21:34,980 --> 00:21:39,450 stuff. So it's all news. You'll never heard any of this in di D. 396 00:21:39,450 --> 00:21:39,600 Yeah, 397 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,280 Adam Curry: of course. No one will have this because we're too 398 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,900 obsessed with Trump. Trump getting a range indicted. Perp 399 00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:47,550 walk, crab walk. 400 00:21:48,090 --> 00:21:51,630 John C Dvorak: Where's the birdwalk? I'm waiting. All 401 00:21:51,630 --> 00:21:53,790 right, let's go Chinese economy discussion. 402 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,850 Unknown: Oh, okay. And add to the rescue. And Tony, kind of 403 00:21:56,850 --> 00:22:00,840 zooming in on the economy, it seems with this Xi and Putin 404 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,410 meeting, especially right, China has been doing this diplomatic 405 00:22:04,410 --> 00:22:08,730 dance in a way they have been helping Russia economically. But 406 00:22:08,730 --> 00:22:12,060 with those sanctions or even secondary sanctions that could 407 00:22:12,060 --> 00:22:15,630 be levied on China, it seems China's own economy has been 408 00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:18,510 taking quite a hit you have a piece out recently called 409 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,380 China's economic recovery is uncertain. So what are you 410 00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:24,060 seeing in that aspect. 411 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,080 So while the rest of the world is raising interest rates, while 412 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,630 the rest of the world is raising interest rates to combat 413 00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:33,330 inflation, China keeps cutting rates cutting reserve 414 00:22:33,330 --> 00:22:36,390 requirements, because free up liquidity in their banking 415 00:22:36,390 --> 00:22:40,320 system and their financial system increase the quantity of 416 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,520 cash that's available to expand the economy. This is a very, 417 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,080 very unsound way to expand the size of the economy. And it has 418 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,890 to be paid for later to China already has debt, equivalent to 419 00:22:52,890 --> 00:22:57,600 300% of GDP, the debt is just growing. So I see the Chinese 420 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,550 economy really struggling this year. The other issue is that 421 00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:05,220 demand for everything is still down in the rest of the world. 422 00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:09,090 The rest of the world is still facing, essentially somewhere 423 00:23:09,090 --> 00:23:12,180 between recession and stagflation. That's keeping 424 00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:16,530 consumer demand down. So Chinese products aren't in demand as 425 00:23:16,530 --> 00:23:22,380 much abroad. A push for nationalism within China is 426 00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:25,710 driving a lot of foreign brands out of China. They're not making 427 00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:29,100 the money they were making before general downturn in the 428 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,940 Chinese economy. They could never get consumers to consume 429 00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:35,700 in China the way that they did and the way they do in the 430 00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:36,510 United States. 431 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,590 And Antonio, speaking of this, a economic uncertainty that's 432 00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:43,980 unfolding in China right now here in the US, Senator Josh 433 00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:47,640 Hawley is introducing a bill that would cancel the country's 434 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,610 most favored nation status within two years. So if this 435 00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:53,700 actually passes, what would be the impact on China? 436 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,420 Adam Curry: Oh, no, we see Holly's true mission is not tic 437 00:23:57,420 --> 00:23:59,550 tock. He wants to screw china. 438 00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:02,430 John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's what he wants. This was favored 439 00:24:02,430 --> 00:24:06,240 nation things comes up in the conversation here. And there. It 440 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,330 I've heard it a few times that they're trying to pull this one. 441 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,070 Let me ask you a question. Because I'm asked question. 442 00:24:12,330 --> 00:24:13,980 Adam Curry: In that report, they're talking about you know, 443 00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:16,920 they'll never get anyone any country to consume like America 444 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,470 does. Well, we just stop consuming to Chinese products. I 445 00:24:19,470 --> 00:24:22,530 don't think so. I mean, it does not stop overnight. What's their 446 00:24:22,530 --> 00:24:23,310 new market 447 00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,560 John C Dvorak: with a problem is, you know, they I mean, this, 448 00:24:25,620 --> 00:24:28,740 this negative report is one of the few you'll ever hear because 449 00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:32,790 everybody else still extols the virtues of Chinese productivity 450 00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:35,640 and the fact that they can crank their manufacturing capability 451 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,360 in particular, but disproportionately negative one 452 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,300 I could find but it may have some there may be something to 453 00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:45,810 it. The The problem is the Chinese are got their fingers in 454 00:24:45,810 --> 00:24:48,450 everything. You can't really build anything without trust 455 00:24:48,450 --> 00:24:51,690 components are. I mean, you can't buy a camera that's not 456 00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:56,160 made in China. I mean, the Nikon's and canon. How about the 457 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,640 phones and all the phones are made in China? Yeah. And you 458 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,550 have to computers made in China Dells got a factory over there 459 00:25:02,550 --> 00:25:08,700 they make to compute. So you can do this. But they would if you 460 00:25:08,730 --> 00:25:13,050 if you put Most Favored Nations, which changes the way you can do 461 00:25:13,050 --> 00:25:19,260 trading, it's possible that over the next decade, it's, we may be 462 00:25:19,260 --> 00:25:22,950 able to extract ourselves from China, some people, I don't even 463 00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:23,520 know if it's even 464 00:25:23,550 --> 00:25:26,610 Adam Curry: even Walmart, even Walmart has had almost all 465 00:25:26,610 --> 00:25:29,970 Chinese. exactly everything that goes to Walmart comes from 466 00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:32,910 Wuhan. So 467 00:25:34,170 --> 00:25:36,600 John C Dvorak: I don't know, I mean, China is dependent on us, 468 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,670 and we're dependent on them. And I don't understand why you can't 469 00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:43,200 get along. But as they might say, this clip to me, more 470 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,370 things will come out of it, 471 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,060 Unknown: I really, really wish that this would pass. 472 00:25:48,060 --> 00:25:50,580 Unfortunately, it's one of those things that comes up every 473 00:25:50,940 --> 00:25:53,670 couple of years or months or something, somebody talks about 474 00:25:53,670 --> 00:25:57,600 it, and it just doesn't go anywhere. Unfortunately, we are 475 00:25:57,870 --> 00:26:01,680 ratcheting up to the credit of the previous administration and 476 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,820 the current administration, we are ratcheting this up on both 477 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,120 us outbound investment into China, Chinese investment into 478 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:13,320 the United States trade with China, to chip in is huge. I 479 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,780 mean, we're doing a lot of good things, but it's a bunch of 480 00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:19,470 piecemeal things. And I really wish we would do something big, 481 00:26:19,470 --> 00:26:23,220 like removing their most favorite trade nation status, 482 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,090 just outright banning imports from China outright banning 483 00:26:27,090 --> 00:26:30,570 investment in China, something along that lines, because every 484 00:26:30,570 --> 00:26:34,530 step of the way, you know, we're tightening this or that, or 485 00:26:34,530 --> 00:26:36,600 we're making this or that better. But meanwhile, there's 486 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,820 another problem over there. It's another problem with a sway 487 00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:41,580 playing the whack a mole game, you know, you knock down this, 488 00:26:41,580 --> 00:26:44,220 this mole, and then that one pops up over there. And the 489 00:26:44,220 --> 00:26:46,920 problem is that all these profits that China is earning 490 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:49,800 all this money that they're getting from US investors, and 491 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,100 it's just going back into weapons, ultimately, its funding 492 00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:57,780 their technological advancement, AI, New Age weapons, new age, 493 00:26:57,780 --> 00:27:02,580 technology, space, wars, all these things. And if we can cut 494 00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:04,560 off their money, they won't be able to do it. It's the same 495 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,740 concept of what we're doing to Russia, or hamstring, Russia 496 00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:10,650 economically so that they can't wage a war. Unfortunately, they 497 00:27:10,650 --> 00:27:14,220 have their buddy China, feeding them money through the backdoor. 498 00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:18,090 Right. Right. Cut that off. That would be great. But it's a 499 00:27:18,090 --> 00:27:20,370 Adam Curry: little it's a little more than just Russia getting 500 00:27:20,370 --> 00:27:21,990 money through the backdoor on China. 501 00:27:22,019 --> 00:27:26,189 John C Dvorak: Now. The analysis falls apart, you can what he 502 00:27:26,189 --> 00:27:29,999 described, it is not possible now. I mean, it would be 503 00:27:30,209 --> 00:27:34,979 ideally, yeah. Cut off all imports, just stop them. And 504 00:27:34,979 --> 00:27:36,089 then what do we do 505 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,850 Adam Curry: with that our basic vitamin C, 506 00:27:39,569 --> 00:27:41,909 John C Dvorak: you can't even get tires anymore that aren't 507 00:27:41,909 --> 00:27:48,419 made in China. Japanese all the big Japanese tire firms, they 508 00:27:48,419 --> 00:27:52,649 have factories in China and make tires cheaper. He's just not do 509 00:27:52,649 --> 00:27:56,639 it. This is where we were locked. We're locked up. 510 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,530 Adam Curry: And what does that what does the chip ban doing? 511 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,590 Um, the chip the chip Act, which was they had a chip act in 512 00:28:01,590 --> 00:28:04,080 Europe that had a chip Act in the United States. What does 513 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,460 that actually done? 514 00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:07,770 John C Dvorak: Well, they're bitching about, so I must have 515 00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:13,470 done something. But what it's gonna do is make the check. I 516 00:28:13,470 --> 00:28:16,110 don't know. I'm surprised that the Chinese haven't gotten 517 00:28:16,110 --> 00:28:19,530 further in developing fabs. 518 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,530 Adam Curry: And you know, it doesn't seem a stretch for them 519 00:28:22,530 --> 00:28:25,350 to be able to do artificial intelligence better than Google 520 00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:30,330 barf, which came out yesterday in beta. What a piece of crap. 521 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,370 Do you see my first question? 522 00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:35,010 John C Dvorak: No, I don't know anything about what you've done. 523 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,110 Oh, okay. So I, 524 00:28:37,470 --> 00:28:40,560 Adam Curry: I did what what we always do is like, let's let's 525 00:28:40,590 --> 00:28:44,280 test this. So I got on the beta GUI. It's called Google Bard. 526 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,760 Var do is bar for that's what you and I call it and that's 527 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,280 correct. Google barf. And now, and so I asked the question, 528 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:58,530 which, you know, I was moaning and groaning about other other 529 00:28:58,530 --> 00:29:05,190 AI being stupid. And my question was, tell me, tell me about Adam 530 00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:08,940 curry. And I'll just read the so it spits out a paragraph 531 00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:12,780 directly from Wikipedia. And then let's listen to this. Curry 532 00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:15,450 is a vocal critic of the mainstream media and he has been 533 00:29:15,450 --> 00:29:19,410 accused of being a conspiracy theorist. He is also a strong 534 00:29:19,410 --> 00:29:23,340 supporter of Donald Trump. In 2017, he was banned from Twitter 535 00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:26,220 for violating the company's Terms of Service. Cori is 536 00:29:26,220 --> 00:29:31,140 married to Tina Snyder and they have one child together. Am I 537 00:29:31,860 --> 00:29:35,190 Tina? What did you do with our child when I was banned from 538 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:35,550 Twitter? 539 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,500 John C Dvorak: With a kid where's the kid? Because the kid 540 00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:44,310 Adam Curry: the apologist, that's what's so amazing. People 541 00:29:44,310 --> 00:29:47,310 come on to rules don't really good at that. But if you're if 542 00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:50,310 you want it to do a business plan, and you can hone it you 543 00:29:50,310 --> 00:29:54,360 can you can tweak you can tweak it so that it gives you a great 544 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,940 idea it leaving registered domain name tell you what to 545 00:29:56,940 --> 00:30:04,380 get. What are you people Stop. It's not great. It's not going 546 00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:07,710 to be great. It's never going to be great. Well, never never is a 547 00:30:07,710 --> 00:30:12,870 little strong, but it's a far cry from great people are they 548 00:30:12,870 --> 00:30:17,850 love this? Oh, yeah. Hey, I so it's like the artists, you like 549 00:30:17,850 --> 00:30:23,490 comic strip? Oh, aren't so great. No, it's not. And people 550 00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:28,830 are not, we don't remain stupid like this. We, as humans, our 551 00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:33,600 brains are also evolving. And we get very I mean, I can now 552 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,130 detect AI, deep fake video deep, deep, deep, deep fake audio, 553 00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:42,150 you're our own brains are also training to outwit the AI I do 554 00:30:42,150 --> 00:30:47,520 not believe that AI will outwit the human beings long term, our 555 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,410 brains continue to evolve. 556 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,500 John C Dvorak: You know, there's also the it's going to be 557 00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:58,380 difficult to outwit the lawyers. Yeah, at some point, this is 558 00:30:58,380 --> 00:31:03,900 plagiarism. This is copyright violations left and right. No 559 00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:08,250 one's really addressed this too much. But this thing is doing 560 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,180 illegal work. 561 00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:12,000 Adam Curry: And more importantly, they have no way to 562 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,630 fund it. This is very expensive stuff to run. You need ASICs, 563 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:21,300 special ASICs, you know, they would have to basically convert 564 00:31:21,810 --> 00:31:25,170 and get rid of all their YouTube ASICs and the end, they've got 565 00:31:25,170 --> 00:31:30,510 to get AI, this is very, very expensive, too. It's mean, the 566 00:31:30,510 --> 00:31:35,190 cost of running AI queries is you're going to have to charge 567 00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:40,620 people, I don't think that you can offset this with advertising 568 00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:44,790 in an ad market that is so bad that Marc Maron has to now 569 00:31:44,790 --> 00:31:47,730 pretend he's Oh, yes. Let me tell you about how I work with 570 00:31:47,730 --> 00:31:51,030 advertisers. It's very interesting. You see this? 571 00:31:51,570 --> 00:31:53,340 John C Dvorak: Well, I have no idea what you're talking about 572 00:31:53,370 --> 00:31:54,120 Marc Maron, 573 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,290 Adam Curry: so he is with a cast a cast is a is a for all 574 00:31:58,290 --> 00:32:00,420 intents. And by the way, the lights are flickering, it's 575 00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:03,450 possible our power goes out, the generators will kick in. I'll be 576 00:32:03,450 --> 00:32:07,440 back in a few minutes. Okay, so he's with a cast, which I think 577 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,580 is a Swedish outfit. 578 00:32:09,150 --> 00:32:11,940 John C Dvorak: And I thought I thought he was an independent 579 00:32:11,940 --> 00:32:12,630 podcaster. 580 00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:16,200 Adam Curry: Yes, he is. But his ads come through a cast. So they 581 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,350 go out and sell the ads. And then I'm reading all the stories 582 00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:24,240 from the so called podcast, Industrial Complex News. Oh, 583 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,200 yes. A cast has come up with a new series, where podcasters 584 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,580 talk about themselves? No, it's basically Marc Maron saying, 585 00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:35,790 Yeah, I really liked working with this company. And here's 586 00:32:35,790 --> 00:32:38,670 how it worked with that company. They're so desperate, they're 587 00:32:38,670 --> 00:32:42,090 putting their top talent. We all had to do this when I worked in 588 00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:45,120 mainstream. Hey, man, you got to do some pitches for us. You got 589 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,640 to you know, you got to talk to the press about you know, about 590 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,790 how great the ads are. So that, you know, advertisers see this. 591 00:32:50,790 --> 00:32:54,750 Oh, maybe I should advertise with them. You know what I mean, 592 00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:59,160 if you know what I mean. So yeah, so they're not going to 593 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,200 cover it with ads. The ad market is soft, it's down. It's it's a 594 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,070 problem. The economy is not making it easier. You cannot 595 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:09,540 fill this hole. 596 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,790 John C Dvorak: I should mention when it goes down like this 597 00:33:11,790 --> 00:33:17,160 because it did this@the.com crash. If you recall, in NY the 598 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,450 year 2000. The ad market collapsed. And it takes about 599 00:33:21,450 --> 00:33:24,720 two years or more to recover. It may 600 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,560 Adam Curry: even take longer on this one. This may be a doozy. I 601 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,340 don't know. Everyone's battening down the hatches in case people 602 00:33:32,340 --> 00:33:33,270 had noticed people are 603 00:33:33,270 --> 00:33:35,460 John C Dvorak: moaning and groaning the advertising based 604 00:33:35,970 --> 00:33:36,960 podcasters are 605 00:33:37,170 --> 00:33:39,750 Adam Curry: moaning and groaning all of them are mining groaning, 606 00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:45,390 crying existential existential crisis existential the ad 607 00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:47,070 market. Yeah. 608 00:33:48,330 --> 00:33:51,150 John C Dvorak: Kid buffalo, my listeners anymore by reading 609 00:33:51,150 --> 00:33:52,050 ads. 610 00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:55,290 Adam Curry: Thank God for value for value. Man, we made a smart 611 00:33:55,290 --> 00:34:00,090 choice by accident, but we still made a smart choice. We couldn't 612 00:34:00,090 --> 00:34:00,210 get 613 00:34:00,210 --> 00:34:02,520 John C Dvorak: anyone to add it to us by accident. I think it 614 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:02,940 was done 615 00:34:02,970 --> 00:34:06,000 Adam Curry: purposely. No. But I mean, we figured out that there 616 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,700 was a real business model. We said, hey, you know, you've got 617 00:34:08,700 --> 00:34:11,550 to, you've got to support us. Otherwise, we can't do it that 618 00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:13,650 we just were like, Hey, we're not going to do this if you 619 00:34:13,650 --> 00:34:16,530 don't if you don't support us, and then people did and then we 620 00:34:16,530 --> 00:34:20,640 figured out oh wait a minute, if you if you really open it up, 621 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,760 and don't try to be a Patreon or don't try to force people into 622 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,800 the Silicon Valley model of $5. Now, please, whatever it's worth 623 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,350 to you, whatever the show, whatever the information is, 624 00:34:31,350 --> 00:34:33,780 whatever the value is that you get the actually 625 00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:37,620 John C Dvorak: the variable donation I think is the key to 626 00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:39,390 success that people don't understand. 627 00:34:40,259 --> 00:34:43,229 Adam Curry: And people are embarrassed to do it. They can't 628 00:34:43,229 --> 00:34:43,559 they can't. 629 00:34:44,339 --> 00:34:47,759 John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, well, golly, I don't know. I don't 630 00:34:47,759 --> 00:34:50,909 like taking church Tip Jar Would that work? Is that okay? I just 631 00:34:50,909 --> 00:34:54,449 put a jar to maybe push somebody puts $1 in there asked me to 632 00:34:54,449 --> 00:34:55,829 play a tune, jaw 633 00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:06,570 Adam Curry: man So, one of the interesting things about this G 634 00:35:06,570 --> 00:35:11,280 and Putin meeting, is that out of it came an idea of, you know, 635 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,230 maybe, maybe we we seek some kind of peace with Ukraine. 636 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:19,620 Maybe we can work some stuff out, then GE oh, by the way, I 637 00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:23,760 think, you know, he traveled to Moscow. That's a big deal. No, 638 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,290 he she went there. He went to see Vlad, say, ma'am, we can fix 639 00:35:28,290 --> 00:35:30,600 something and you know, could figure it out. And so some 640 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:35,280 ideas, you know, leaked out kind of floated and you know, like a 641 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,090 ceasefire to figure some stuff out. Oh, whoa. Oh, we can't have 642 00:35:39,090 --> 00:35:40,320 that says John Kirby. 643 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,890 Unknown: That if coming out of this meeting, there's some sort 644 00:35:43,890 --> 00:35:46,380 of call for a ceasefire. Well, that's just going to be 645 00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:50,130 unacceptable because all that's gonna do like is ratify Russia's 646 00:35:50,130 --> 00:35:53,400 conquest today's all that's going to do is give Mr. Putin 647 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:58,530 more time to refit, retrain remand and try to plan for 648 00:35:59,130 --> 00:36:01,260 offensives at a time of his choosing. I'm sorry, 649 00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:05,520 John C Dvorak: that doesn't that doesn't get his logic apply to 650 00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:11,820 Zelinsky in the Ukrainians gives them more time to retrain and 651 00:36:11,970 --> 00:36:14,580 bring more stuff over because there's a lag time for moving 652 00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:18,330 product is like getting there. It gives me more time to do this 653 00:36:18,330 --> 00:36:22,020 in that the other good observation. It sounds to me 654 00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:23,820 like it would give both sides more time. 655 00:36:23,849 --> 00:36:25,169 Adam Curry: I'm not going to disagree. 656 00:36:28,170 --> 00:36:30,630 Unknown: Russia's conquest today's all that's going to do 657 00:36:30,630 --> 00:36:35,340 is give Mr. Putin more time to refit, retrain remand, and try 658 00:36:35,340 --> 00:36:38,790 to plan for renewed off offensives at a time of his 659 00:36:38,790 --> 00:36:42,690 choosing. We hope and we've said this before that Mr. President 660 00:36:42,690 --> 00:36:45,810 Xi will call and talk to President Solinsky because we 661 00:36:45,810 --> 00:36:48,750 believe the Chinese need to get the Ukrainian perspective. 662 00:36:49,410 --> 00:36:51,480 Adam Curry: No, yeah. Yeah. You didn't need to get to your 663 00:36:51,630 --> 00:36:54,810 Chinese net need to get the Ukrainian perspective here. And 664 00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:59,640 what does that even mean? Kirby. But you know, the American 665 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,910 public groups in American public are also mad about this. The 666 00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:04,710 Code Pink Lady, what's her name again? 667 00:37:05,610 --> 00:37:08,280 John C Dvorak: Oh, the Code Pink Lady. Yes, she's 668 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,730 Adam Curry: added she's added she Abe Lincoln was our 669 00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:15,000 Secretary of State was testifying and she interrupted 670 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,700 in my head. I have a little clip up very much for having me here 671 00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:22,680 today. All right. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. The committee will be 672 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,460 in order 673 00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:27,150 Unknown: a proxy for 674 00:37:33,690 --> 00:37:38,970 you're supposed to be a diplomat start negotiating. You know, if 675 00:37:38,970 --> 00:37:42,330 you don't like the Chinese proposals, where is your 676 00:37:42,750 --> 00:37:48,810 proposals? The American people want you to negotiate. Your 677 00:37:50,220 --> 00:37:53,550 Adam Curry: Medea Benjamin Medea Benjamin is the pink coat Pink 678 00:37:53,550 --> 00:37:55,110 Lady but good for her. 679 00:37:56,730 --> 00:38:00,240 John C Dvorak: Code Pink office MIT one of the main was in the 680 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:00,780 area, 681 00:38:01,350 --> 00:38:03,840 Adam Curry: but who's funding her now is my question. The 682 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,280 Chinese Soros probably no, no Soros wants to he wants to 683 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,960 demise and destruction doesn't he? 684 00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:12,120 John C Dvorak: I guess he would. Yeah, 685 00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:15,240 Adam Curry: he doesn't want anything solved. But whoever's 686 00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:17,670 paying her the that part of the American 687 00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:20,130 John C Dvorak: vigilantes right? Yeah, of course she's right or 688 00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:23,820 negotiates, whereas a great diplomats and may come I 689 00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:27,210 Adam Curry: can I have a series of clips here of one of the 690 00:38:27,210 --> 00:38:31,410 greatest diplomats and one of the greatest hoaxes of all time. 691 00:38:32,940 --> 00:38:40,380 And I love these Russian guys vo Vaughan and Lexus. These are the 692 00:38:40,380 --> 00:38:45,150 guys that they called up Schumer they called me all I think it's 693 00:38:45,150 --> 00:38:48,960 the same guys all these idiots and they pretend to be you know, 694 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,160 like, Oh, these toasts are 695 00:38:51,570 --> 00:38:56,760 John C Dvorak: the host own prank. Calendars. 1960. Yes. 696 00:38:56,790 --> 00:39:02,880 Adam Curry: Well, they pranked Fifi le guard and they didn't 697 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,870 just prank her they did a 20 minute zoom call with her and 698 00:39:06,870 --> 00:39:12,750 recorded the Zoom call. Oh my god and and pretending to be 699 00:39:13,140 --> 00:39:13,980 Zelinsky 700 00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:17,700 John C Dvorak: so they had video, I presume it was one of 701 00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:19,470 them look like Zelinsky well, so 702 00:39:19,470 --> 00:39:23,130 Adam Curry: we only see her. We only see her side and we hear 703 00:39:23,130 --> 00:39:27,840 His voice. But it's kind of cool. Because even starting off, 704 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,740 I got to play these clips for you. Even at 20 minutes, I'm 705 00:39:31,740 --> 00:39:35,460 just going to pull a few of the of the gems from this thing. So 706 00:39:35,730 --> 00:39:38,730 before so and she's at home clearly you know she's got her 707 00:39:38,730 --> 00:39:41,520 little her office set up and she's got you know, I guess her 708 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,020 grandkids drew something she's even got a little piece sign up 709 00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:50,730 in the bookcase. I'm sure that Tiktok would have a dynamite 710 00:39:50,730 --> 00:39:55,500 time analyzing and finalizing her office. And and so they they 711 00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:59,190 and so as the call has come in this just shows you how dumb 712 00:39:59,190 --> 00:40:03,900 these people are. These people are so stupid. Now. For context, 713 00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:07,530 she is now the president of the European Central Bank, the 714 00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:10,770 European Federal Reserve, that within you know, they they took 715 00:40:10,770 --> 00:40:13,950 all the money of Europe and all the guilders and the drachmas, 716 00:40:13,950 --> 00:40:17,640 and all these cool little monies and made one big Euro thing. So 717 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,920 it's all under her control. And she used to be head of the IMF. 718 00:40:22,950 --> 00:40:29,070 So she is the shill and she got the IMF job by basically taking 719 00:40:29,070 --> 00:40:31,530 down the guy who was in charge remember that he would do 720 00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:34,080 because he had droughts, whatever his name was, yes, hon. 721 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:39,300 Strauss he had been all of a sudden he had costed the hooker. 722 00:40:39,510 --> 00:40:42,450 Those the cleaning lady, what if the cleaning lady in the hotel 723 00:40:42,450 --> 00:40:43,830 in New York wasn't a hooker? 724 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,570 John C Dvorak: Right? Sure. 725 00:40:45,780 --> 00:40:49,140 Adam Curry: Exactly. So but she's a shill, but she's also 726 00:40:49,140 --> 00:40:54,210 you're gonna see how dumb she is. So so of course what to all 727 00:40:54,210 --> 00:40:57,990 the elite ladies think of Zielinski? They all 728 00:40:57,990 --> 00:41:00,600 Unknown: love him.

So she's 737 00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:26,160 Adam Curry: primping her hair in the beginning as the call is 738 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,300 connecting to the landscape because the landscape get ready 739 00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:32,400 for it. Hello. Hello. 740 00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:34,110 Unknown: Can you hear me? 741 00:41:35,070 --> 00:41:36,600 I can see you very well. Okay, 742 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,470 madam presidents.

I think that's pretty 745 00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:43,170 good. 746 00:41:43,230 --> 00:41:45,390 John C Dvorak: Ah, you know, right away. I'm not liking the 747 00:41:45,390 --> 00:41:47,340 voice. But it's probably good enough. 748 00:41:47,370 --> 00:41:49,140 Adam Curry: I wouldn't have bought it. But again, she's 749 00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:49,890 stupid 750 00:41:49,890 --> 00:41:53,400 Unknown: turned about the economic situation in Europe, as 751 00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:57,300 you know that this assistance to Ukraine depends on it. And some 752 00:41:57,300 --> 00:42:01,620 countries already openly saying that internal problems are more 753 00:42:01,620 --> 00:42:02,790 important to them. 754 00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:05,550 Adam Curry: It's important to listen to this first 45 seconds 755 00:42:05,550 --> 00:42:08,160 because just setting up he's he's kind of getting her in the 756 00:42:08,190 --> 00:42:12,000 in the mood for the hoax, which is never paid off. As far as as 757 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,910 far as I know. I mean, like, she doesn't, she's never she never 758 00:42:15,330 --> 00:42:18,660 catches on to it, she thinks she really spoke was the Lensky. So 759 00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:21,750 he's kind of setting the stage and economics rah rah rah, 760 00:42:22,470 --> 00:42:26,370 Unknown: Ukraine. So I just what like to ask you how the things 761 00:42:26,370 --> 00:42:31,200 in Europe as a whole? How did the crisis hit? So what is your 762 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:31,890 position 763 00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:37,350 where we have an issue is on inflation, because of the 764 00:42:37,350 --> 00:42:43,740 bottlenecks that have survived the end of COVID. We are seeing 765 00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:50,340 prices that have initially gone up only in the area of energy, 766 00:42:51,060 --> 00:42:55,200 and then gradually through fertilizers in particular, to 767 00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:01,470 food and now on a much broader basis. So the inflation that we 768 00:43:01,470 --> 00:43:07,140 had hoped wouldn't be transitory has continued much longer than 769 00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:07,680 thought, 770 00:43:08,190 --> 00:43:10,530 Adam Curry: by the way, a couple of things. First of all, she 771 00:43:10,530 --> 00:43:14,460 says, coming out of COVID, we got inflation. She doesn't say 772 00:43:14,460 --> 00:43:17,970 because of Vladimir Putin cutting off the gas to Europe, 773 00:43:17,970 --> 00:43:22,050 which is the lie that all the politicians tell. So she doesn't 774 00:43:22,050 --> 00:43:26,640 say that. She has her own bullcrap. Reason Oh, because of 775 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:27,180 COVID. 776 00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:32,280 Unknown: And at a much higher level than expected. So as a 777 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,810 result of that, all central banks and the ECB is no 778 00:43:36,810 --> 00:43:43,560 exception, have to take measures in order to reduce inflation, so 779 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:48,360 that people do not suffer from high prices, and we have a more 780 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,190 stable economy. 781 00:43:50,250 --> 00:43:52,710 Adam Curry: And okay, so that's just a setup. So she's in the 782 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:57,900 mood now. He's going to say, hey, well, you know, how you 783 00:43:58,020 --> 00:44:00,360 call how you're coordinating? And that just listen to where 784 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,750 she takes it, how she feels, what is the true solution to 785 00:44:03,750 --> 00:44:05,940 Ukraine's problems. And the question 786 00:44:05,940 --> 00:44:10,200 Unknown: is, how do you think what is your colleagues from 787 00:44:11,010 --> 00:44:14,820 fit? Think about that? Do you have a conversation with them? 788 00:44:15,870 --> 00:44:19,350 We not only Yeah, we do, of course, have conversations. We 789 00:44:19,350 --> 00:44:23,280 exchanged a lot. And actually, I will be seeing our Jay Powell 790 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:29,400 tonight. We have dinner tonight. Oh, we have a meeting of the 791 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,690 Bank of International Settlements in Basel, and I'm 792 00:44:33,690 --> 00:44:36,990 having dinner with him tonight. So yes, we do talk a lot. Yeah, 793 00:44:36,990 --> 00:44:39,120 Adam Curry: we coordinate. But 794 00:44:39,150 --> 00:44:43,230 Unknown: you know, President, whatever is the coming out of 795 00:44:43,230 --> 00:44:48,330 this situation, who wins who loses in a way is irrelevant. 796 00:44:48,420 --> 00:44:54,870 What matters is that Ukraine at the end of the day wins. So I 797 00:44:54,870 --> 00:44:59,970 take the very, very simple view that those who have the biggest 798 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,490 Gun at the end of the day when, 799 00:45:03,390 --> 00:45:07,230 Adam Curry: oh my god, this is this is this is how the elites 800 00:45:07,230 --> 00:45:11,550 think, Hey, as long as we have the bigger gun, they win. That's 801 00:45:11,550 --> 00:45:12,420 how it works, right? 802 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,610 Unknown: Basic, wild west cowboy principle, 803 00:45:17,669 --> 00:45:18,899 Adam Curry: which you're all in on. 804 00:45:19,169 --> 00:45:22,199 Unknown: It is the case at the moment that the biggest military 805 00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:26,849 power in the world is the United States. So the United States is 806 00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:31,139 supplying the biggest shipment of weapons is providing a very 807 00:45:31,139 --> 00:45:35,669 large amount of funding. And that's the reality that we deal 808 00:45:35,669 --> 00:45:41,969 with. And I don't think that we can just argue about who wins 809 00:45:41,969 --> 00:45:45,659 who loses it's you who has to win and we have to make every 810 00:45:45,659 --> 00:45:48,509 effort we can to support you. How stupid 811 00:45:48,510 --> 00:45:52,440 Adam Curry: are these people? She really believes Oh, science 812 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,310 we have the biggest gun 813 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,180 John C Dvorak: ever. Don't we have a clip I can isolate this 814 00:45:57,180 --> 00:46:00,240 clip but didn't we have a clip where we're gonna fight this 815 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:05,580 until every Ukrainians dead? Who said that there was something 816 00:46:05,580 --> 00:46:08,670 was gonna work get date we're going to war is gonna go on 817 00:46:08,670 --> 00:46:13,290 until the last Ukrainian standing. I don't remember 818 00:46:13,290 --> 00:46:15,750 basically, it was like, you know, we're gonna just gonna go 819 00:46:15,750 --> 00:46:19,260 on into there's no Ukrainians left you're gonna all be dead. 820 00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:22,650 You know, just like, that was the essence of it. They were 821 00:46:22,650 --> 00:46:23,040 saying I 822 00:46:23,310 --> 00:46:25,710 Adam Curry: wish I knew what that what that was. I can't find 823 00:46:25,710 --> 00:46:26,430 anything under. 824 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,220 John C Dvorak: You gotta tell you something, you know? Oh, you 825 00:46:29,220 --> 00:46:33,300 guys is this reminds me of Mad Magazine or something. Some of 826 00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:37,020 these crazy, you know, curry everyone's dead. Except one guy, 827 00:46:37,020 --> 00:46:37,500 you know? 828 00:46:37,770 --> 00:46:40,620 Adam Curry: Well, we what we know is that the US has always 829 00:46:40,620 --> 00:46:46,350 said as long as it takes. Which doesn't seem to be the fact. 830 00:46:46,350 --> 00:46:52,230 Okay, so the final clip. Now now. VO Vaughn and Lexus are 831 00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:55,050 going all out. And I cannot do this. Again. This woman is so 832 00:46:55,050 --> 00:46:58,980 dumb. And they throw jokes in this guy is so good. So now he's 833 00:46:58,980 --> 00:47:01,740 going to first of all is going to suck up to get it. You'll get 834 00:47:01,740 --> 00:47:05,760 her already. You know? That really smart?

And 836 00:47:09,810 --> 00:47:13,500 then he's going to say okay, so he wants to know, when is the 837 00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:17,520 central bank digital currency coming the E Euro? And she 838 00:47:17,550 --> 00:47:18,630 unpacks 839 00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:23,190 Unknown: Okay, let's, let's stop talking about let's stop to talk 840 00:47:23,190 --> 00:47:27,210 about sets things. I'm really glad to see you. And they see 841 00:47:27,210 --> 00:47:32,880 you. And I'm glad to see smart, smart woman at this position. 842 00:47:33,060 --> 00:47:39,150 And I think that you're pretty nice. I have a question about 843 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:45,000 Adam Curry: how easy is it to hoax these people? I think 844 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,550 you're pretty sure I love seeing a smart woman in your position. 845 00:47:49,170 --> 00:47:49,920 Ask me anything. 846 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:56,370 Unknown: I'm also a good user of electronic money. So my question 847 00:47:56,730 --> 00:48:01,020 you're introducing the electronic era, as I know, so, 848 00:48:01,290 --> 00:48:06,030 how can you how can switching to an electronic currency help? 849 00:48:07,230 --> 00:48:11,970 But two things Number one, it will be decided in October. So 850 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,800 there you go. October, Europe, we are preparing the ground, we 851 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,150 want to be ready. We want to be trained, but it will not be 852 00:48:21,150 --> 00:48:21,690 decided. 853 00:48:24,180 --> 00:48:26,160 Adam Curry: Everyone's got to be trained on how to do it. He 854 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,890 John C Dvorak: got to be trained with like a barking seal 855 00:48:28,919 --> 00:48:31,319 Adam Curry: well, but it's really about training the 856 00:48:31,319 --> 00:48:32,939 European people and you'll hear that 857 00:48:32,970 --> 00:48:34,590 John C Dvorak: that's what I'm talking about. Those are the 858 00:48:34,590 --> 00:48:37,080 barking seals. Talking about 859 00:48:37,530 --> 00:48:43,080 Unknown: will prepare the grind. Ready? We want to be trained but 860 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:48,570 it will not be decided until October 23 The reason? I'm 861 00:48:49,260 --> 00:48:51,390 Adam Curry: thinking when she says it will not be decided I 862 00:48:51,390 --> 00:48:56,040 mean what I'm think she's saying is that's when we're basically 863 00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:00,360 announced that we're going to train everybody October 2023 864 00:49:00,390 --> 00:49:02,280 Then we're just gonna announce it then it's coming. So I don't 865 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,420 know if that means it happens or maybe it happens in in 2024. But 866 00:49:06,450 --> 00:49:10,320 the the hammers coming down in October digital euro 867 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,300 Unknown: will preparing the ground. 868 00:49:13,710 --> 00:49:16,560 John C Dvorak: So didn't when you were in Holland the last 869 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,530 time didn't they move everything so you can't have cash that's 870 00:49:19,530 --> 00:49:19,830 coming 871 00:49:19,830 --> 00:49:23,520 Unknown: up. We want to be ready. We want to be trained, 872 00:49:23,550 --> 00:49:29,310 but it will not be decided until October 23. The reason? I'm 873 00:49:29,370 --> 00:49:35,040 personally convinced that we have to move ahead is a 874 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:40,380 situation like the one we are in now. We are dependent on the 875 00:49:40,380 --> 00:49:47,160 supply of gas by a very unfriendly country. I don't want 876 00:49:47,190 --> 00:49:53,130 Europe to be dependent on an unfriendly country's currency. 877 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,300 For instance, 878 00:49:55,650 --> 00:49:57,900 Adam Curry: an unfriendly country's currency or women 879 00:49:57,930 --> 00:49:59,970 isn't the petro honest 880 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,790 John C Dvorak: Jackie, talking about us? Well, 881 00:50:02,820 --> 00:50:05,310 Adam Curry: is she though? I think she's moved beyond the 882 00:50:05,310 --> 00:50:09,420 dollar. The petro dollar is done. It's dead. No, no, no, 883 00:50:09,510 --> 00:50:12,270 she's already she's not thinking about the US or the dollar and 884 00:50:12,270 --> 00:50:16,560 Unknown: friendly country. I don't want Europe to be 885 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:21,720 dependent on an unfriendly country's currency. For 886 00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:25,200 instance, I don't know, you know, the Chinese currency, the 887 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:30,810 Russian currency, the whatever, or dependent on a friendly 888 00:50:30,810 --> 00:50:36,510 currency, but which is activated by a private corporate entity, 889 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:42,270 like, you know, Facebook, like Google or anybody likes. 890 00:50:42,570 --> 00:50:44,310 I'm user of Bitcoin too. 891 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:50,100 Adam Curry: So she's not even talking about the dollar. She 892 00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:53,910 says, Oh, I don't I don't have to buy our energy in in Chinese 893 00:50:53,910 --> 00:50:59,130 currency or Russian currency. This is quite spectacular, I 894 00:50:59,130 --> 00:51:01,470 think, for her to be saying these things. And now he's going 895 00:51:01,470 --> 00:51:05,850 to start hoaxing are hard with this with Bitcoin, 896 00:51:05,970 --> 00:51:08,790 Unknown: like Google or anybody likes. 897 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:15,660 I'm user of Bitcoin too. So I had bought it when it started. I 898 00:51:15,660 --> 00:51:23,160 hope it also will work in for the special system. And I know 899 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,800 Adam Curry: he's trying to go there. She's not going to take 900 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,230 the bait, but we'll see what happens. There are many protests 901 00:51:28,230 --> 00:51:34,080 Unknown: in Europe, against the electronic era. What is the 902 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:34,620 reason? 903 00:51:35,130 --> 00:51:38,250 You know, it's it's the beauty of Europe, it has different 904 00:51:38,730 --> 00:51:41,790 Adam Curry: positions. It is the beauty of Europe. You can 905 00:51:41,790 --> 00:51:43,860 control them all. It's the beauty 906 00:51:43,860 --> 00:51:47,760 Unknown: of Europe, it has different positions, if you ask. 907 00:51:48,150 --> 00:51:51,120 In Northern Europe, for instance, in the Netherlands, 908 00:51:51,510 --> 00:51:55,500 they're quite happy to see the Euro coming. 909 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,610 Adam Curry: Yeah. Give us the euro. We love the euro, bring it 910 00:51:59,610 --> 00:52:00,660 to us, please. 911 00:52:00,810 --> 00:52:05,760 Unknown: If you ask a young German man, you'll say you're 912 00:52:05,790 --> 00:52:11,370 fine. It's good. It's good. As I said, I don't find metal, Google 913 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,510 or Amazon to suddenly come up with a currency that will take 914 00:52:15,510 --> 00:52:16,920 over the sovereignty of Europe. 915 00:52:17,310 --> 00:52:19,470 Adam Curry: This was the second time she said this what is 916 00:52:19,470 --> 00:52:24,120 happening at Google and Amazon and and Facebook meta 917 00:52:24,780 --> 00:52:28,590 John C Dvorak: is she may be off handedly, but refuses to say 918 00:52:28,590 --> 00:52:32,190 that she's referring to musk and his ex project. 919 00:52:32,220 --> 00:52:35,100 Adam Curry: That's the one she doesn't mention. That's why No, 920 00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:38,880 John C Dvorak: maybe she's is that possible that she's beating 921 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,890 around the bush and doesn't want to mention it? 922 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,980 Adam Curry: I'm all in on that, because she does not mention it 923 00:52:44,010 --> 00:52:46,920 at all. And that's the one that's coming the closest and 924 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:47,190 that's 925 00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:47,940 John C Dvorak: the threat. 926 00:52:48,660 --> 00:52:51,660 Unknown: I don't want a foreign currency to become the currency 927 00:52:51,690 --> 00:52:55,350 of trading within Europe. So we have to be ready. 928 00:52:55,890 --> 00:52:59,370 Now the problem is they don't want to be controlled. They 929 00:52:59,370 --> 00:53:00,420 don't want to 930 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,560 Adam Curry: be but you know what? I love this. Yeah, but you 931 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,730 know what, you know, it's like, these are stupid people were the 932 00:53:08,730 --> 00:53:10,080 elites were bigger than them 933 00:53:10,110 --> 00:53:13,560 Unknown: didn't want to be controlled. They don't want to. 934 00:53:14,940 --> 00:53:19,290 But you know what, you know what? Now we have in Europe, 935 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:24,840 this threshold, above 1000 euros, you cannot pay cash? If 936 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,260 you do, you're on the gray market, that you take your risk, 937 00:53:28,290 --> 00:53:32,250 you get caught, you are fined. Are you going to jail? 938 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,670 Adam Curry: Just so you know, in case you in case we hadn't 939 00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:41,130 explained that already to you. If you pay over 1000 euros cash, 940 00:53:41,460 --> 00:53:44,220 you're on the gray market. If you get caught you get fined or 941 00:53:44,220 --> 00:53:47,820 you go to jail. Just so you know. 1000 euros cash might not 942 00:53:47,820 --> 00:53:51,690 have been cleared everybody in the EU. If they catch you. They 943 00:53:51,690 --> 00:53:52,440 can throw you in jail. 944 00:53:52,470 --> 00:53:54,150 Unknown: Oh, you're on the gray market does 945 00:53:54,150 --> 00:53:56,700 John C Dvorak: it by the way. That's nothing. 946 00:53:57,180 --> 00:53:59,280 Adam Curry: Of course not 1000 euros. What does that mean? You 947 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:04,200 can't use? Yes, it's nothing. It's nothing and it's about to 948 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:04,920 get better. 949 00:54:04,950 --> 00:54:07,860 John C Dvorak: If you buy like a laptop from some guy you know, 950 00:54:07,860 --> 00:54:12,030 and you wanted to take cash and you give them $1,100 or 1100 951 00:54:12,030 --> 00:54:14,190 euros. Now you go to jail. 952 00:54:14,220 --> 00:54:16,290 Adam Curry: Yeah, if you get caught you're on the gray market 953 00:54:16,290 --> 00:54:19,710 now buddy. You're on the gray market 954 00:54:19,740 --> 00:54:23,190 Unknown: euros you cannot pay cash. If you do, you're on the 955 00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:28,830 gray market. You take your risk you get cold, you will find or 956 00:54:28,830 --> 00:54:34,620 you go in jail. But you know the the digital euro is going to 957 00:54:34,620 --> 00:54:38,130 have a limited amount of control. There will be control 958 00:54:38,130 --> 00:54:42,570 you're right. Yeah. You're completely right. Yep, we are 959 00:54:42,570 --> 00:54:45,780 considering whether for very small amounts, you know, 960 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,430 anything that is around 300 400 euros, we could have a mechanism 961 00:54:50,430 --> 00:54:53,370 where there is zero control Hello slaves 962 00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:57,390 Adam Curry: 300 euros on your E euro and you won't be controlled 963 00:54:57,450 --> 00:55:00,990 anything under three maybe four maybe if if would be nice to 964 00:55:00,990 --> 00:55:04,350 you. But otherwise anything, obviously we're gonna control 965 00:55:04,380 --> 00:55:04,950 you. 966 00:55:05,490 --> 00:55:08,430 Unknown: But that could be dangerous terrorist attacks on 967 00:55:08,430 --> 00:55:15,030 France, back 10 years ago, were entirely financed by those very 968 00:55:15,030 --> 00:55:19,200 small, anonymous credit cards that you can recharge in total 969 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,040 anonymity. 970 00:55:20,370 --> 00:55:24,630 Adam Curry: So what she's really saying is, you know, right now 971 00:55:24,630 --> 00:55:27,510 the idea is we're going to present it as three or 400 euros 972 00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:30,120 and you won't be controlled, it won't be registered. But 973 00:55:30,420 --> 00:55:33,600 terrorism, so we're probably going to have to control it all. 974 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:38,280 But we'll convince you later in October. Now, now he's going to 975 00:55:38,310 --> 00:55:39,210 hammer it home. 976 00:55:39,930 --> 00:55:44,880 Unknown: You know, that question is now now I think it's a joke 977 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:51,330 like, like a joke that the next currency will be fireworks for 978 00:55:51,330 --> 00:55:58,110 Europe will be what? Fireworks fireworks? To heat to heat the. 979 00:55:59,790 --> 00:56:07,500 Yeah. So it's like a joke. It's like a joke from Russian sites. 980 00:56:07,830 --> 00:56:15,360 Adam Curry: They get lost. These guys are my friends now. I love 981 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:15,990 these guys. 982 00:56:17,070 --> 00:56:18,990 John C Dvorak: Give me a clip of the day for that. Fine, thank 983 00:56:18,990 --> 00:56:19,080 you 984 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:26,610 Adam Curry: very much. It's quite telling how the elites 985 00:56:26,610 --> 00:56:31,410 think. Yeah, and she's the Jay Powell of Europe. 986 00:56:32,550 --> 00:56:34,800 John C Dvorak: Yeah, he is. Well, meanwhile, of course, we 987 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,970 have this little story which is not being played at all. And 988 00:56:38,970 --> 00:56:42,780 expected is going along as expected. Play this one. This is 989 00:56:42,780 --> 00:56:45,180 the Ukraine clip. This is IMF and Ukraine. 990 00:56:45,269 --> 00:56:47,969 Adam Curry: Ah, yes. I just read about this this morning. 991 00:56:48,390 --> 00:56:51,450 Unknown: The International Monetary Fund or IMF is offering 992 00:56:51,450 --> 00:56:54,690 the country a four year financing package worth roughly 993 00:56:54,690 --> 00:56:59,160 $16 billion. The IMF said on Tuesday they have reached a 994 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,100 staff level agreement with Ukrainian authorities. The 995 00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:06,150 agreement must still be ratified by the IMF executive board. If 996 00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:09,120 approved. This would be Ukraine's biggest loan package 997 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,990 since war started. It would also be the IMF biggest loan to a 998 00:57:12,990 --> 00:57:16,740 country involved in an active conflict. The IMF said its 999 00:57:16,740 --> 00:57:19,860 executive board is expected to discuss approval in the coming 1000 00:57:19,860 --> 00:57:22,710 weeks. The Ukrainian Prime Minister and US Treasury 1001 00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:24,960 Secretary Janet Yellen welcomed the deal. 1002 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,020 Adam Curry: So we'll have them completely under control. 1003 00:57:31,470 --> 00:57:35,640 Austerity austerity is coming Ukraine as poor people whatever 1004 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,810 is left of that country. I mean, it's got it's gotta be over. 1005 00:57:39,870 --> 00:57:45,990 It's just gotta be over. Well, they still with some still some 1006 00:57:48,180 --> 00:57:52,350 military industrial complex spending the EU this time the 1007 00:57:52,380 --> 00:57:55,380 foreign and defence ministers of the European Union have agreed 1008 00:57:55,380 --> 00:58:00,330 on a 2 billion euro plan to send desperately needed ammunition to 1009 00:58:00,330 --> 00:58:04,020 Ukraine. Now the deal provides me with 1 million artillery 1010 00:58:04,020 --> 00:58:07,410 shells over the next year. Funds are also intended to help EU 1011 00:58:07,410 --> 00:58:10,650 member states replenish their own ammunition supplies, which 1012 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:17,370 have dwindled rapidly since the war in Ukraine began I didn't 1013 00:58:17,370 --> 00:58:21,900 even know who manufactures ammo in in Europe do you know 1014 00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:25,200 John C Dvorak: well, they said Norway I saw that report. This 1015 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,040 is Norway I guess has a couple factories now France and France 1016 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,850 and Sweden France for sure. And but of course you know, they 1017 00:58:32,850 --> 00:58:37,260 always go back to Scranton, and get them spent shells from us. 1018 00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:40,140 This is the report along the same lines that I got was a 1019 00:58:40,140 --> 00:58:47,340 little weird because I can't get kind of a I can't figure out 1020 00:58:47,340 --> 00:58:51,330 what's going on with these F 16 XPlay. There's no f 16 clip. 1021 00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,050 Unknown: The US is saying no to sending fighter jets to Ukraine. 1022 00:58:55,170 --> 00:58:58,980 This despite fellow NATO members Poland and Slovakia doing just 1023 00:58:58,980 --> 00:59:02,160 that. The State Department says Poland and Slovakia as moves 1024 00:59:02,310 --> 00:59:05,880 would not impact us policy. Secretary of State Antony 1025 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,510 Blinken called Poland's choice a sovereign decision. Poland 1026 00:59:09,510 --> 00:59:12,750 announced on March 16, it would send fighter jets to Ukraine 1027 00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:16,620 becoming the first NATO country to do so. Poland and Slovakia 1028 00:59:16,620 --> 00:59:19,890 has moved could be a turning point for Ukraine and repelling 1029 00:59:19,890 --> 00:59:23,310 Russia's invasion. Keith has asked for fighter jets since 1030 00:59:23,310 --> 00:59:27,330 last year only for Washington and other NATO allies to refuse. 1031 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,180 Adam Curry: I think it's clear they just don't want they don't 1032 00:59:30,180 --> 00:59:33,030 want to. They don't want they want the war to end. They don't 1033 00:59:33,030 --> 00:59:36,240 want to actually kill anybody with the effort. They 1034 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,830 John C Dvorak: keep saying you're gonna send them and 1035 00:59:37,830 --> 00:59:40,590 they're not gonna send they're gonna send them. I mean, this is 1036 00:59:40,590 --> 00:59:43,110 a report from yesterday. We're Indian givers. 1037 00:59:44,850 --> 00:59:47,820 Adam Curry: Sorry for being politically incorrect. No, no, 1038 00:59:47,820 --> 00:59:49,860 we don't want to give them and we just don't want to give it to 1039 00:59:49,860 --> 00:59:52,950 him. It look like you're up do it all. You got 1040 00:59:55,380 --> 00:59:58,050 John C Dvorak: to get Yeah, we don't want to Well, it's just 1041 00:59:58,050 --> 01:00:00,360 just gonna get blowed up by the Russians. So it's is going to be 1042 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,840 a wasted total waste of money. It's shells a little different. 1043 01:00:03,870 --> 01:00:07,080 You can million shells. So what 1044 01:00:07,140 --> 01:00:09,120 Adam Curry: well listen, a million shells? 1045 01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:11,100 Unknown: I don't think so. 5000 1046 01:00:11,430 --> 01:00:13,500 John C Dvorak: last batch we already they already blew up a 1047 01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:14,460 million shells. 1048 01:00:14,490 --> 01:00:16,350 Adam Curry: Well listen to that. Here's the numbers in this 1049 01:00:16,350 --> 01:00:19,950 report from France. 24,155 1050 01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:22,650 Unknown: millimeter shells are fired each day in Ukraine. 1051 01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:26,100 Adam Curry: 5000 are fired each day in Ukraine. Where are they 1052 01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:28,410 going? Are they doing nothing. 1053 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,400 Unknown: The army says it does not have enough for its needs 1054 01:00:32,430 --> 01:00:35,310 and wants Ukraine's allies to fill the gap as soon as 1055 01:00:35,310 --> 01:00:39,270 possible. This munitions factory next is the only one in France 1056 01:00:39,270 --> 01:00:44,820 making the shells they cost 4000 euros apiece. Weekly output 1057 01:00:44,820 --> 01:00:48,810 comes to around 630 shells. Currently, they were turning out 1058 01:00:48,810 --> 01:00:52,470 400 A week before Vladimir Putin's full scale invasion of 1059 01:00:52,470 --> 01:00:55,890 Ukraine began over a year ago, the slightest error during the 1060 01:00:55,890 --> 01:00:57,000 manufacturing process 1061 01:00:57,030 --> 01:01:01,230 Adam Curry: so it would take them nine weeks to come up with 1062 01:01:01,230 --> 01:01:02,550 their daily allotment 1063 01:01:02,730 --> 01:01:05,340 Unknown: or the week before Vladimir Putin is full scale 1064 01:01:05,340 --> 01:01:08,970 invasion of Ukraine began over a year ago. The slightest error 1065 01:01:08,970 --> 01:01:12,360 during the manufacturing process can prove fatal on the front. 1066 01:01:13,350 --> 01:01:16,410 The shell has to be perfect. Otherwise with the speed goes 1067 01:01:16,590 --> 01:01:19,440 begins to vibrate and one travels straight. It could go in 1068 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,660 all directions it won't have any precision. 1069 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,290 French authorities want to regroup manufacturer of all 1070 01:01:25,290 --> 01:01:28,980 shell components to France, including this powder used to 1071 01:01:28,980 --> 01:01:32,250 fire the shower supplies over the last 15 years have come from 1072 01:01:32,250 --> 01:01:35,550 Sweden, but from next year the powder will be produced in the 1073 01:01:35,550 --> 01:01:38,460 door Dwayne and Frances southwest, a central part of 1074 01:01:38,460 --> 01:01:43,020 quality control is x rang each shell to give it the old clear. 1075 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,330 Adam Curry: So there's some kind of move to I'm not quite sure 1076 01:01:45,330 --> 01:01:49,380 what it means but moving the powder manufacturer from Sweden 1077 01:01:49,380 --> 01:01:51,330 to France, there's something going on there. 1078 01:01:52,170 --> 01:01:56,160 John C Dvorak: Something's going on everywhere. So they're just 1079 01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:00,990 shooting these things off. 5000 a pop and then it's like, oh, 1080 01:02:00,990 --> 01:02:04,980 heaven forbid they're not accurate. Yeah. Are you kidding 1081 01:02:04,980 --> 01:02:08,070 me? No. Do you think that they get hurt? They actually have a 1082 01:02:08,070 --> 01:02:08,700 target. 1083 01:02:09,810 --> 01:02:11,910 Adam Curry: No, I think that just just like fireworks. So 1084 01:02:11,910 --> 01:02:14,280 just shooting stuff around. zooms. 1085 01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,600 John C Dvorak: I have this funny clip. This is a weird request 1086 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:19,830 from Blinken. 1087 01:02:20,910 --> 01:02:23,460 Unknown: The State Department is facing a deadline to provide 1088 01:02:23,460 --> 01:02:26,700 documents on the Afghanistan withdrawal. The chairman of the 1089 01:02:26,700 --> 01:02:29,220 House Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to Secretary of 1090 01:02:29,220 --> 01:02:32,160 State Antony Blinken, Congressman Michael McCaul said 1091 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,130 in the letter that the State Department must send at least 1092 01:02:35,130 --> 01:02:38,820 three requested documents by the end of today. McCall said the 1093 01:02:38,820 --> 01:02:41,430 committee will issue a subpoena if the materials are not 1094 01:02:41,430 --> 01:02:45,060 produced before March 23. The day of Lincoln's testimony 1095 01:02:45,060 --> 01:02:48,180 before the committee, a State Department spokesperson said the 1096 01:02:48,180 --> 01:02:51,420 department is providing hundreds of pages of documents and will 1097 01:02:51,420 --> 01:02:54,690 continue to do so. But he said he could not answer when the 1098 01:02:54,690 --> 01:02:57,960 department would provide the three specific documents most 1099 01:02:57,990 --> 01:02:59,160 urgently requested. 1100 01:02:59,190 --> 01:03:00,930 Adam Curry: So what exactly do they want? 1101 01:03:02,130 --> 01:03:04,170 John C Dvorak: They want this appear I guess there's three 1102 01:03:04,170 --> 01:03:07,200 dots some sort of there's some sort of corruption that's 1103 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,530 involved with they're leaving Afghanistan, they're looking for 1104 01:03:10,530 --> 01:03:13,530 three specific documents that I guess some whistleblower told 1105 01:03:13,530 --> 01:03:16,860 them about. And they can't they can't seem to extract them. 1106 01:03:16,860 --> 01:03:19,080 Adam Curry: And because in charge of getting that Mr. 1107 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:23,550 Military Industrial Complex, I don't get it. By the way, you 1108 01:03:23,550 --> 01:03:28,980 know, Pocky shwarma, who was at W IOM and she left and your 1109 01:03:28,980 --> 01:03:33,330 friend? Yes. And she's not first post and most of her stories. I 1110 01:03:33,330 --> 01:03:36,180 don't know is that too long that you know, there's not there's 1111 01:03:36,180 --> 01:03:39,480 nothing really clippable but I got one that's very clickable, 1112 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,590 very short. And this is about Afghanistan. Now that we've 1113 01:03:43,590 --> 01:03:47,400 withdrawn, the Taliban is in trouble. A recent study 1114 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,190 Unknown: shows that the Taliban is having difficulty adapting to 1115 01:03:50,220 --> 01:03:53,490 typical civilian life. They're tired of daily things that haunt 1116 01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:58,320 most mere mortals, like traffic thieves and office jobs. How 1117 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,830 times have changed. The Taliban is complaining about being 1118 01:04:01,830 --> 01:04:06,540 robbed by common thieves. And they despise desktops. Most of 1119 01:04:06,540 --> 01:04:10,230 them are now quite quitting, or doing the bare minimum at their 1120 01:04:10,230 --> 01:04:13,770 jobs. Instead of being the harbingers of doom. They're 1121 01:04:13,770 --> 01:04:17,040 stuck in Twitter's Doom scroll. They complain about spending 1122 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,430 most of their time on Twitter. They become addicted to the 1123 01:04:20,430 --> 01:04:25,590 internet. They say they quote unquote Mr. Jihad life. The 1124 01:04:25,590 --> 01:04:28,800 Taliban clearly misses the good things like causing bloodshed. 1125 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,980 Adam Curry: They're quiet quitting the Taliban and 1126 01:04:31,980 --> 01:04:33,420 quitting because they're bored. 1127 01:04:35,550 --> 01:04:36,690 John C Dvorak: And they're on Twitter 1128 01:04:36,959 --> 01:04:39,089 Adam Curry: at the Doom scrolling. Of course, there's no 1129 01:04:39,089 --> 01:04:41,369 one to kill there's no one left to kill. There's nothing left to 1130 01:04:41,369 --> 01:04:43,109 do decades 1131 01:04:43,590 --> 01:04:44,670 John C Dvorak: to get on tick tock. 1132 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,860 Adam Curry: decades and decades of killing and like now we gotta 1133 01:04:49,860 --> 01:04:54,570 like, like direct traffic and we got to have law enforcement and 1134 01:04:54,570 --> 01:04:59,970 Rob. Want to get robbed by common criminals? Where's the G? 1135 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:06,300 hottie bloodshed? Yeah, this is great. This is well done. Yeah. 1136 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,640 Now, they need a new enemy. I guess I'm not sure what they 1137 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:12,570 what they want to do. 1138 01:05:13,439 --> 01:05:15,599 John C Dvorak: Well, the place is falling apart. It's got 1139 01:05:15,839 --> 01:05:21,839 horses, all the reports. They're desperate, they're broke. People 1140 01:05:21,839 --> 01:05:27,059 are starving to death. It's not good. No NGOs at all been kicked 1141 01:05:27,059 --> 01:05:29,999 out or they actually haven't been kicked out. But they made 1142 01:05:29,999 --> 01:05:32,429 sure that women can't run them. And most of them are run by 1143 01:05:32,429 --> 01:05:35,159 women. Yeah. So that's the end of that. Yeah. 1144 01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:41,700 Adam Curry: It's not because they're women. But is that 1145 01:05:41,700 --> 01:05:44,130 because they're women? And you said the way you said that was 1146 01:05:44,130 --> 01:05:44,880 kind of weird. 1147 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,130 John C Dvorak: Because well, they were they kicked the women 1148 01:05:47,130 --> 01:05:51,240 out. They won't let the women do anything I tell the bad guys has 1149 01:05:51,540 --> 01:05:53,310 gone back to their old ways. 1150 01:05:54,149 --> 01:05:56,189 Adam Curry: All right. So because they won't let women run 1151 01:05:56,189 --> 01:05:59,789 the show and run the office and do all the stuff that you know 1152 01:06:01,470 --> 01:06:05,010 John C Dvorak: that they're Yeah, they're good. I wouldn't 1153 01:06:05,010 --> 01:06:08,820 say they're any better than men at it. But they lies in the 1154 01:06:08,820 --> 01:06:12,570 situations with an NGO that's that's pretty much let's see 1155 01:06:12,570 --> 01:06:19,440 manage by women, right? You need the women. So don't can have 1156 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:25,530 that there in that area. This guy got a lot of China's stuff 1157 01:06:25,530 --> 01:06:29,640 here that might be interesting. Let's start with that. First of 1158 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,710 all, here's a story that we never heard of. And I didn't 1159 01:06:31,710 --> 01:06:35,970 know this was going on, over and over again. Which reminds me, 1160 01:06:35,970 --> 01:06:39,540 you know, in San Francisco, we've had these, these 1161 01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,330 Adam Curry: police station gang 1162 01:06:42,330 --> 01:06:45,390 John C Dvorak: fights, gang fights stonestown Mall, 1163 01:06:45,780 --> 01:06:48,900 Adam Curry: where it was stones, stones town, most of those Towne 1164 01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:49,800 mall in San 1165 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,280 John C Dvorak: Francisco. Every I guess it's Wednesday when the 1166 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,550 kids get at school or they go to the mall. And then they just a 1167 01:06:56,550 --> 01:06:59,850 big fight. You can look it up by Google's got lots of movies of 1168 01:06:59,850 --> 01:07:02,580 them. And these kids are wailing on each other. It's quite 1169 01:07:02,580 --> 01:07:09,330 something to see what kind of crap high school kids and their 1170 01:07:09,330 --> 01:07:12,630 stomping kid each other and they're beaten as security 1171 01:07:12,630 --> 01:07:16,200 guards up. It's just been going on. And they claim it's happened 1172 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,690 three times over the weekend. It was happening and happening and 1173 01:07:18,690 --> 01:07:20,850 they make a big fuss about it because the cops can't do 1174 01:07:20,910 --> 01:07:23,670 anything about it. Because not enough cops. There's literally 1175 01:07:23,670 --> 01:07:30,690 hundreds of kids fighting. And then if you talk to some of the 1176 01:07:30,690 --> 01:07:33,300 kids, or they interview some of the kids has been going on for 1177 01:07:33,300 --> 01:07:38,160 months, these these fights in the mall, and there's just 1178 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:42,780 violent fights. And courses San Francisco's got lax everything. 1179 01:07:42,780 --> 01:07:46,530 So they, they can't do anything about it. But I remember when I 1180 01:07:46,530 --> 01:07:51,690 was a kid, we used to have situations like this too. And it 1181 01:07:51,690 --> 01:07:56,640 was it's not like new. In fact, in the olden days during the 1182 01:07:56,820 --> 01:08:01,200 Alameda County Fair, on July the fourth every single year when I 1183 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:06,210 was in high school, a riot would break out at the fair between 1184 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:10,620 Mexican gangs Oh, and they just beat the crowd. You could be I 1185 01:08:10,620 --> 01:08:12,930 was there for a couple of minutes just there's just fights 1186 01:08:12,930 --> 01:08:15,390 every which way you look all around you you have to be you 1187 01:08:15,390 --> 01:08:17,310 don't get caught up in it because you're not a member. We 1188 01:08:17,310 --> 01:08:20,880 either one of the gangs and they know who everybody is. But it's 1189 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,450 just like these kids. They really have to be policed. Now 1190 01:08:24,450 --> 01:08:27,600 Adam Curry: are the Are there particular identifiable gangs? 1191 01:08:27,630 --> 01:08:29,250 And because you say, you know, when you were a kid with the 1192 01:08:29,250 --> 01:08:32,160 Mexican gangs, were these identifiable these these kids 1193 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:33,840 who are gangs and beating up? 1194 01:08:34,380 --> 01:08:37,020 John C Dvorak: They were wearing specific colors? No, they just, 1195 01:08:37,380 --> 01:08:40,350 they just knew who was in their group and they knew the other 1196 01:08:40,350 --> 01:08:44,040 guys weren't in their group and they went after each other. They 1197 01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:48,660 didn't go after by bystanders. And it seems like there's still 1198 01:08:48,660 --> 01:08:51,960 this Town Mall stuff. If you stay out of the way. You won't 1199 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,320 get hurt. Because they're not going after bystanders. It is 1200 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,450 something's going on. There's some gaps in 1201 01:08:57,449 --> 01:09:00,659 Adam Curry: action. The police have been defunded and children 1202 01:09:00,659 --> 01:09:03,419 are allowed to do anything they want because they're all their 1203 01:09:03,419 --> 01:09:05,849 parents are woke at San Francisco. Hello. 1204 01:09:06,449 --> 01:09:08,489 John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's exactly right. What you just 1205 01:09:08,489 --> 01:09:10,229 said. I agree. 1206 01:09:10,499 --> 01:09:11,249 Adam Curry: Do you have a clip? 1207 01:09:12,239 --> 01:09:14,609 John C Dvorak: Well, let's go to the clip. I was trying to figure 1208 01:09:14,609 --> 01:09:17,609 which one it was. Did stuff that you don't hear about this is 1209 01:09:17,609 --> 01:09:19,199 Sandstorm in China. 1210 01:09:19,770 --> 01:09:20,940 Adam Curry: Sandstorm in 1211 01:09:20,940 --> 01:09:24,180 Unknown: China, sandstorms drought in Beijing in northern 1212 01:09:24,180 --> 01:09:27,660 China on Wednesday, as air pollution rose to hazardous 1213 01:09:27,660 --> 01:09:31,800 levels. The sandstorm blanketed buildings and roads and a thick 1214 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,430 cloud of orange dust. Beijing has experienced sand and dust 1215 01:09:35,430 --> 01:09:38,640 storms over the past several days, causing pollution levels 1216 01:09:38,670 --> 01:09:42,390 to increase drastically. Today, the air quality index reached a 1217 01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:46,290 level considered very hazardous to human health. A figure that 1218 01:09:46,290 --> 01:09:50,430 is more than 37 times the daily average guideline set by the 1219 01:09:50,430 --> 01:09:54,150 World Health Organization. Visibility is very poor in many 1220 01:09:54,150 --> 01:09:57,660 areas, but residents in Beijing said the weather mostly didn't 1221 01:09:57,660 --> 01:09:59,100 hamper their daily routine. 1222 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,540 cloth and in terms of effects from the scent storm, there's 1223 01:10:03,540 --> 01:10:07,440 the smell of dust on the subway. But when I go outside, I can't 1224 01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:10,380 feel it that much because the subway entrance is very close to 1225 01:10:10,380 --> 01:10:13,800 my home. The impacts are not that great, but can still feel 1226 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:14,700 the effects of it. 1227 01:10:15,870 --> 01:10:19,230 This is the third Sandstorm this month, a government agency 1228 01:10:19,230 --> 01:10:22,530 issued yellow warnings for nearly a dozen provinces for 1229 01:10:22,530 --> 01:10:26,430 Wednesday and Thursday. Beijing is regularly hit with sandstorms 1230 01:10:26,430 --> 01:10:30,090 in the spring with the smog made worse by industrial pollution. 1231 01:10:30,150 --> 01:10:32,880 Adam Curry: You've really confused me. What does this have 1232 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:34,470 to do with the gangs? Kids now? 1233 01:10:34,650 --> 01:10:37,020 John C Dvorak: I'm just saying this. Well, I was discussing 1234 01:10:37,020 --> 01:10:40,440 about the gangs as the unreported aspect of it, which 1235 01:10:40,440 --> 01:10:43,860 is the fact that nobody's unless you're local, knows that this 1236 01:10:43,860 --> 01:10:46,860 has been going on for months on and nationally, you think it 1237 01:10:46,860 --> 01:10:50,520 just happened, but the sandstorms in China? I didn't 1238 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,720 know where's this desert that's creating the sandstorms? I mean, 1239 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:59,910 any Chinese listeners that can tell us? No. I was in a 1240 01:10:59,910 --> 01:11:06,360 sandstorm once in my life. A real one. I was in one was with 1241 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:11,760 it. Mine was in a negative Israel. And it was a sandstorm. 1242 01:11:12,480 --> 01:11:16,560 And it's, it's like, it's like, just not like what you think and 1243 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:21,090 you see it in a movie is it's just basically it's like a fog 1244 01:11:21,090 --> 01:11:22,020 of sand. 1245 01:11:23,130 --> 01:11:25,560 Adam Curry: I was in the sandstorm when I went to Iraq, 1246 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:31,590 we flew to Kuwait, Kuwait City, and we had to, we landed and 1247 01:11:31,590 --> 01:11:36,300 then we had to wait on the plane for about 45 minutes. I say, 1248 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,140 because a sandstorm was coming through. And you're right. It's 1249 01:11:40,140 --> 01:11:43,320 like it's like this big cloud. And then it was just that it was 1250 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,080 just gone. It would Okay, sandstorm, and we got off. And 1251 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,620 it was done. 1252 01:11:47,790 --> 01:11:49,530 John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, this one lasted for a whole day. And 1253 01:11:49,530 --> 01:11:53,250 it was a real shame hit Tel Aviv it was the worst Sandstorm in 1254 01:11:53,250 --> 01:11:53,880 their history. 1255 01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:58,890 Adam Curry: I want to I want to go back to the gangs. I want to 1256 01:11:58,890 --> 01:12:03,030 go back to the gangs. Okay, because I have a gang clip. By 1257 01:12:03,510 --> 01:12:08,820 coincidence. Yes, there's big news from New York. And this was 1258 01:12:08,820 --> 01:12:12,270 completely avoidable. And there are other people. This is not 1259 01:12:12,270 --> 01:12:17,580 just some stupid kid while it is. But this is something that 1260 01:12:17,580 --> 01:12:23,310 we talked about, maybe a year ago. And now it's cutting out 1261 01:12:23,340 --> 01:12:25,980 they still don't know really what who's who's responsible and 1262 01:12:25,980 --> 01:12:27,750 how this can be stopped. Listen to this report. 1263 01:12:28,020 --> 01:12:30,900 Unknown: officials think this could be the largest gang 1264 01:12:30,900 --> 01:12:34,620 takedown in history in the borough of Queens and Fox five 1265 01:12:34,620 --> 01:12:38,250 was given exclusive access as it happened. The Queens District 1266 01:12:38,250 --> 01:12:41,310 Attorney along with the NYPD chief of detectives, announcing 1267 01:12:41,310 --> 01:12:47,340 the 151 count indictment of 33 alleged gang members our own 1268 01:12:47,340 --> 01:12:52,050 Lisa Evers was embedded with the operation as NYPD detectives 1269 01:12:52,050 --> 01:12:55,350 rounded up the suspects. And she's here now to bring us this 1270 01:12:55,350 --> 01:12:57,690 fox five exclusive Lisa take it away. 1271 01:12:57,870 --> 01:13:00,330 Well, Chris this longterm investigation began with the 1272 01:13:00,330 --> 01:13:03,570 murder of a promising team basketball player now nearly 1273 01:13:03,570 --> 01:13:06,810 four years later, and YPD detectives tell us they have 1274 01:13:06,810 --> 01:13:10,380 dismantled two rival gangs who terrorize South Jamaica 1275 01:13:10,380 --> 01:13:14,250 residents with reckless gunfire using drill music videos and 1276 01:13:14,250 --> 01:13:16,170 social media to fuel their beefs. 1277 01:13:16,770 --> 01:13:20,010 Adam Curry: I talked about this specifically, the drill rap, 1278 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:25,710 which is happening on YouTube, where kids are rapping about 1279 01:13:25,710 --> 01:13:28,950 which other kid they're going to kill. They go off and they do 1280 01:13:28,950 --> 01:13:32,190 it. And then they do another drill rap video about killing 1281 01:13:32,190 --> 01:13:35,610 the kid and then the other team, you know the other gang does the 1282 01:13:35,610 --> 01:13:40,020 same. And this is being propagated by YouTube algorithms 1283 01:13:40,230 --> 01:13:46,680 and sub labels of Sony and Universal Music. They give these 1284 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:51,330 guys publishing deals to make these records. It hits the 1285 01:13:51,330 --> 01:13:54,600 algos, then Spotify picks them up once they have the record 1286 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:57,870 deal and Spotify is then promoting this stuff. This is 1287 01:13:58,230 --> 01:14:02,460 this is why it's yes. I got this from mo this is exactly yes. 1288 01:14:02,490 --> 01:14:04,980 This is drill rap. It's happening everywhere is 1289 01:14:04,980 --> 01:14:08,280 happening in the UK. It's happening all over the world in 1290 01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:12,990 the weirdest places. But this is a big thing and the end the 1291 01:14:12,990 --> 01:14:16,380 algos pick up their their homemade songs and YouTube 1292 01:14:16,380 --> 01:14:20,640 videos. Then they get a record deal sublabel publishing deals, 1293 01:14:20,820 --> 01:14:23,370 and then it gets played on Spotify and then they're just 1294 01:14:23,370 --> 01:14:27,930 killing each other. And the and the whole thing is propagated by 1295 01:14:27,930 --> 01:14:31,050 Silicon Valley in the music industry. I'm pointing them out 1296 01:14:31,050 --> 01:14:31,890 specifically. 1297 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,940 John C Dvorak: Do you have one example of one kill a rap 1298 01:14:35,940 --> 01:14:36,930 whatever. So go 1299 01:14:36,930 --> 01:14:40,110 Adam Curry: on, go on YouTube, go on YouTube. The lyrics are 1300 01:14:40,110 --> 01:14:42,390 all about who they're killing, who they're gonna kill, and then 1301 01:14:42,390 --> 01:14:46,830 they have the count. One example. Oh my goodness. Just go 1302 01:14:46,830 --> 01:14:49,440 to YouTube and put in drill rap. You'll get it and you look at 1303 01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:52,890 the views and the algos are picking it up. I have many 1304 01:14:52,890 --> 01:14:57,630 examples. I don't have anything clipped. Oh yeah. Yep. 1305 01:14:59,250 --> 01:15:00,630 John C Dvorak: And this is done Good. 1306 01:15:03,179 --> 01:15:05,639 Adam Curry: But in case you hadn't noticed, the music 1307 01:15:05,639 --> 01:15:10,319 business has moved to this model of songs about young black men 1308 01:15:10,319 --> 01:15:13,109 killing each other. It's been that way for a while, as radio 1309 01:15:13,109 --> 01:15:17,729 stations that play it, the algorithms promote it. Yeah, 1310 01:15:17,759 --> 01:15:19,679 this is why music business has become 1311 01:15:20,129 --> 01:15:23,099 John C Dvorak: less, you can make the argument that that's 1312 01:15:23,099 --> 01:15:23,909 what they want. 1313 01:15:24,299 --> 01:15:26,819 Adam Curry: I think I'm not going to argue with that. 1314 01:15:30,929 --> 01:15:36,539 Exactly. We got to we got I think we have to do two donation 1315 01:15:36,539 --> 01:15:40,979 segments. So before we take our first one, everybody bales 1316 01:15:41,489 --> 01:15:49,649 losers. With the big IPCC report came out. Did you read it? 1317 01:15:50,310 --> 01:15:52,740 John C Dvorak: Another one, they keep coming out? Well, 1318 01:15:52,739 --> 01:15:55,229 Adam Curry: this is this is the new one. And this is the it's 1319 01:15:55,229 --> 01:16:00,779 not just the IPCC report, this is the synthesis report. And 1320 01:16:00,779 --> 01:16:04,109 this report not doesn't just tell us we're all going to die. 1321 01:16:05,069 --> 01:16:08,729 It tells us what we need to do about it. And I have a little 1322 01:16:08,729 --> 01:16:12,659 intro here. It's well worth listening to all seven minutes 1323 01:16:12,689 --> 01:16:17,369 of Antonio Gutierrez, because he has a new speech writer. I just 1324 01:16:17,369 --> 01:16:19,979 have a minute. He's got a new speech writer and they're just 1325 01:16:19,979 --> 01:16:23,909 throwing all kinds of cliches into his speech, especially 1326 01:16:23,909 --> 01:16:26,819 since the guy calm. He can barely speak English, let alone 1327 01:16:26,819 --> 01:16:30,659 she can't write it. They've got someone in there to just just 1328 01:16:30,659 --> 01:16:32,609 sets it up to no end. Dear 1329 01:16:32,610 --> 01:16:36,810 Unknown: friends, humanity is on thin ice. And that ice is 1330 01:16:36,810 --> 01:16:41,400 melting fast. Oh, good one. So this Report of the 1331 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:45,000 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC details, 1332 01:16:45,390 --> 01:16:48,570 humans are responsible for virtually all global heating 1333 01:16:48,570 --> 01:16:49,860 over the last 200 years. 1334 01:16:49,860 --> 01:16:53,310 Adam Curry: Yeah. 200 years. 200 years. Were responsible for it. 1335 01:16:53,430 --> 01:16:59,730 200 years? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Don't you argue? Don't you 1336 01:16:59,730 --> 01:17:00,210 argue 1337 01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,110 Unknown: heating over the last 200 years. The rate of 1338 01:17:04,110 --> 01:17:07,230 temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 1339 01:17:07,260 --> 01:17:08,460 2000 years. 1340 01:17:08,489 --> 01:17:12,179 Adam Curry: Whoa, the rate of rise is the highest in 2000 1341 01:17:12,179 --> 01:17:12,689 years. 1342 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,360 Unknown: concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their 1343 01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,330 highest in at least 2 million years. 1344 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,520 million years. 1345 01:17:20,909 --> 01:17:22,199 The climate time bomb 1346 01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:26,370 Adam Curry: the climate time bomb is ticking remind you of 1347 01:17:26,370 --> 01:17:26,940 anything? 1348 01:17:29,010 --> 01:17:32,610 John C Dvorak: Will the other population population population 1349 01:17:32,610 --> 01:17:33,150 time bomb? 1350 01:17:33,150 --> 01:17:37,920 Unknown: Yes, in at least 2 million years. The climate time 1351 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:42,720 bomb is ticking time bomb. But today's IPCC report is how to 1352 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,240 guide to defuse the climate time bomb. 1353 01:17:45,390 --> 01:17:49,500 Adam Curry: Oh Time Bomb defuse the climate time bomb. It is a 1354 01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:50,160 survival 1355 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:55,230 Unknown: guide for humanity. Oh, as it shows the 1.5 degree limit 1356 01:17:55,260 --> 01:17:59,280 is achievable. But it will take a quantum leap in climate 1357 01:17:59,280 --> 01:17:59,790 action, 1358 01:17:59,909 --> 01:18:03,959 Adam Curry: a quantum leap in climate action. These reports 1359 01:18:04,020 --> 01:18:06,930 Unknown: is a clarion call to massively Fast Track climate 1360 01:18:06,930 --> 01:18:11,640 efforts by every country and every sector. And on every time 1361 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:16,620 frame. In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts, 1362 01:18:16,650 --> 01:18:19,560 everything everywhere, all at once. And he 1363 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:21,060 Adam Curry: throws a movie your reference in there 1364 01:18:22,290 --> 01:18:24,540 John C Dvorak: to the movie title in it, it just won the 1365 01:18:24,540 --> 01:18:27,690 Academy Award for Best Picture. I knew. 1366 01:18:29,670 --> 01:18:32,610 Adam Curry: And I don't have any more. The whole report is filled 1367 01:18:32,610 --> 01:18:36,990 with it is great. Now, so this report does something very 1368 01:18:37,199 --> 01:18:40,229 John C Dvorak: big back what does he say that to almost. 1369 01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,970 Adam Curry: So this report is very specific and very 1370 01:18:44,970 --> 01:18:48,510 debuggable which is kind of cool because they have these you 1371 01:18:48,510 --> 01:18:52,830 know, 150 years, 200 years, and they show the graphs and they 1372 01:18:52,830 --> 01:18:58,890 show it moving up. You know the hockey stick. If anyone's ever 1373 01:18:58,890 --> 01:19:01,890 listened to the show previously in the past many years we've 1374 01:19:01,890 --> 01:19:07,950 played Michael Creighton's Michael Crighton videos who who 1375 01:19:07,950 --> 01:19:11,490 of course wrote state of fear about how climate activist 1376 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:18,030 created all these hoaxes and blew up you know, big sheets of 1377 01:19:18,030 --> 01:19:24,270 ice to try and coerce humanity into jumping on board with this 1378 01:19:24,270 --> 01:19:26,880 scam and then he would do lectures everywhere and then he 1379 01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:31,500 died. Sad Yeah. Michael Creighton. Yes. Is Jurassic Park 1380 01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:31,800 died 1381 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,020 John C Dvorak: prematurely. Yeah, just suddenly. 1382 01:19:36,090 --> 01:19:40,530 Adam Curry: So here's just one simple way of of debunking this 1383 01:19:40,530 --> 01:19:43,260 hoax, this particular hoax, which now because it's these 1384 01:19:43,260 --> 01:19:47,190 numbers, it's the 2 million years. It's the 200 years. It's 1385 01:19:47,190 --> 01:19:52,230 all these different years. And this is physicist Brian cat, and 1386 01:19:52,260 --> 01:19:55,440 he will explain exactly how this manipulation is done. 1387 01:19:55,470 --> 01:19:59,340 Unknown: We've been warming now for the last sort of 150 years 1388 01:19:59,370 --> 01:20:04,200 or so. Give or take, since about 1850. There's something 1389 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,440 interesting about that period, isn't it? Tell it tell us about 1390 01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:11,130 that. Because it why did they choose that point? Oh, that's 1391 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,450 because it's the lowest point, we are one degree above the 1392 01:20:15,450 --> 01:20:18,750 coldest it's been in the last 10,000 years, which is let's 1393 01:20:18,750 --> 01:20:21,390 just repeat that. I mean, that's remarkable. And the other 1394 01:20:21,390 --> 01:20:24,540 remarkable thing is it's two degrees cooler than the warmest. 1395 01:20:24,540 --> 01:20:28,920 It's been in the last 810 1000 years, which is the Egyptian and 1396 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:32,220 the Minoan period. So this is really important for us, because 1397 01:20:32,220 --> 01:20:38,010 this is data. And that, essentially, the IPCC, they 1398 01:20:38,010 --> 01:20:42,090 always talk about that we are one degree higher than than the 1399 01:20:42,090 --> 01:20:45,120 pre industrialization period that 150 years ago. But what 1400 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,730 you're saying, Brian is, that was the lowest point in the last 1401 01:20:47,730 --> 01:20:51,750 10,000 years. Correct. So So in a sense, that's why we shouldn't 1402 01:20:51,750 --> 01:20:55,410 be panicking, and that it's been much warmer in two or three 1403 01:20:55,410 --> 01:20:59,130 previous periods. Yes. And in the last interglacial, which was 1404 01:20:59,190 --> 01:21:02,340 130,000 years ago, when the country is much pretty much 1405 01:21:02,340 --> 01:21:05,370 where it is now about 50 degrees north from the equator, there 1406 01:21:05,370 --> 01:21:07,860 were hippopotami and elephants on the banks of the River 1407 01:21:07,860 --> 01:21:13,230 Thames. That was quite exciting. And it's well known this is 1408 01:21:13,260 --> 01:21:16,350 natural history. And it's it was six degrees warmer than it is 1409 01:21:16,350 --> 01:21:19,200 now. And there were humans wandering around the place, 1410 01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:22,260 presumably hunter gatherer and happily, were a tropical 1411 01:21:22,260 --> 01:21:22,920 species. 1412 01:21:25,170 --> 01:21:26,880 Adam Curry: That's how they do it. They just pick a point. 1413 01:21:27,750 --> 01:21:30,570 Don't go back too far. To show you're warming. And that was the 1414 01:21:30,570 --> 01:21:34,350 that was one it was really cold. Compared to 10,000 that you're 1415 01:21:34,350 --> 01:21:38,220 doing that's cool. scamming you all the lie. Yeah. But you know, 1416 01:21:38,220 --> 01:21:43,230 we'll lie it was a lie.

For 1420 01:21:53,730 --> 01:21:59,850 him? For anybody that's on this bandwagon money. I mean, there's 1421 01:21:59,850 --> 01:22:01,290 other ways of making money, 1422 01:22:01,710 --> 01:22:04,860 Adam Curry: but this is free.

Of course, you can also follow 1454 01:24:00,450 --> 01:24:05,790 us at no agenda social.com I had to block a couple people people 1455 01:24:05,790 --> 01:24:10,230 getting annoying. And it's also do you get to put on long 1456 01:24:10,230 --> 01:24:16,980 threads of things that do not interest you at all. Yeah.

It's just, I 1459 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,430 don't know, I think it's, it's leaking into people's brains. 1460 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:31,080 This is your place everybody. This is your, your sacred home. 1461 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,600 You're part of the community if you have an account there, but 1462 01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:36,930 you can also follow from any other Mastodon account, and you 1463 01:24:36,930 --> 01:24:41,100 can do whatever you want there. But people seem to seem to like 1464 01:24:41,580 --> 01:24:44,850 poop in their own bed. Sometimes it's very, very odd why they do 1465 01:24:44,850 --> 01:24:48,240 that. But you can follow Jhansi Dvorak had no agenda social.com 1466 01:24:48,270 --> 01:24:51,270 and Adam at nogen the social.com We'd be happy to follow you 1467 01:24:51,270 --> 01:24:59,550 back. 1841 There you go. 100 gone, gone. We also need to 1468 01:24:59,550 --> 01:25:04,110 thank the Artist for episode 1539. We titled that when pewter 1469 01:25:04,110 --> 01:25:10,590 noise, which is a term that we learned on the show. And I mean, 1470 01:25:10,650 --> 01:25:14,760 we often laugh at the art. But when we saw this piece from Mike 1471 01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:19,620 Riley, we both cracked up at the same time. And you don't even 1472 01:25:19,620 --> 01:25:21,930 have to listen to the show. You'd have to know anything 1473 01:25:21,930 --> 01:25:25,350 about our show, as witnessed from people who were on Twitter, 1474 01:25:25,350 --> 01:25:29,130 who said, Oh my god, I have to stop everything I'm doing right 1475 01:25:29,130 --> 01:25:33,300 now and listen to your show. This was Mike Riley's zebra with 1476 01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:40,680 a ripped off arm which came from a clip which was from the good 1477 01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,900 news section of the show. From Yeah, 1478 01:25:42,900 --> 01:25:44,880 John C Dvorak: let's suppose that good news that you've read 1479 01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,340 it on your on the behalf of the end of the show. 1480 01:25:49,409 --> 01:25:54,029 Adam Curry: And there's Mike Riley has some there's something 1481 01:25:54,029 --> 01:25:58,259 about his style man and the what is it? What do you how do you 1482 01:25:58,289 --> 01:25:58,469 how 1483 01:25:58,470 --> 01:25:59,550 John C Dvorak: would you characterize Oh, he's a 1484 01:25:59,550 --> 01:26:02,550 cartoonist. So they always they don't think like normal people. 1485 01:26:03,270 --> 01:26:07,290 And so they always everything's askew, it's just impossible to 1486 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:11,370 you know, is even fine artists. They can see things and you 1487 01:26:11,370 --> 01:26:14,640 know, compose in a certain way that is that's, that's quote 1488 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:18,900 unquote, art. But cartoonists are like a different breed. 1489 01:26:19,260 --> 01:26:22,500 Yeah. And they have, they just see there, they just see 1490 01:26:22,500 --> 01:26:24,870 everything. And once they get into it, where they're really 1491 01:26:24,900 --> 01:26:29,160 get good. It's just like, wow, I mean, I used to work with number 1492 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,610 of cartoonists for some promotional art. When I was at 1493 01:26:32,610 --> 01:26:37,170 PC magazine I gave him I had an idea in my head and I just tell 1494 01:26:37,170 --> 01:26:40,350 it to him, and it's I knew what to do. And they would they would 1495 01:26:40,350 --> 01:26:43,290 just put it together and it was like I would never do and it's 1496 01:26:43,290 --> 01:26:46,530 10 times better than my original thought, but just did their 1497 01:26:46,530 --> 01:26:47,820 astonishing people. 1498 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,890 Adam Curry: And what I love is we don't have to give any of our 1499 01:26:49,890 --> 01:26:51,750 artists any direction at all 1500 01:26:53,100 --> 01:26:55,560 John C Dvorak: just cases like spot art Davis do it 1501 01:26:55,620 --> 01:26:59,070 Adam Curry: then no Riley he did enter an earlier piece which was 1502 01:26:59,070 --> 01:27:04,830 the same with a pink background. Yeah, and I'm glad he switched 1503 01:27:04,830 --> 01:27:07,770 it to that kind of was a dirty orange what does that color 1504 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,840 John C Dvorak: well he probably wouldn't have got it with that 1505 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,060 other background. Everything bled into it it 1506 01:27:12,060 --> 01:27:14,160 Adam Curry: was really a prominent blood from the ripped 1507 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:14,340 off 1508 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:16,320 John C Dvorak: looked there's no good 1509 01:27:16,710 --> 01:27:20,190 Adam Curry: the man is a genius certified genius. It was very 1510 01:27:20,190 --> 01:27:24,720 very funny. We're just cracking up now we we did we of course we 1511 01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,750 look at all the art and you can follow along. No agenda art 1512 01:27:27,750 --> 01:27:31,110 generator.com is where everyone uploads and you could 1513 01:27:31,110 --> 01:27:37,440 participate to let's see, we had Vladimir Putin in jail. We had 1514 01:27:39,900 --> 01:27:45,180 we had a lot of Trump actually nice stuff like Sure dude named 1515 01:27:45,210 --> 01:27:51,030 Parker Paulie. I kind of the Trump hair coughs oops. Shmoop 1516 01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,600 swoosh with handcuffs. That looked pretty cool. There was a 1517 01:27:54,600 --> 01:28:02,790 45 with handcuffs. It was okay. It was a Jamaica flag. What else 1518 01:28:02,790 --> 01:28:05,970 was there? There was a lot of Trump indictment clips which I 1519 01:28:05,970 --> 01:28:11,760 would say in general would just not really nice like, you know, 1520 01:28:13,380 --> 01:28:18,510 I don't think that is attractive anymore for any product. Would 1521 01:28:18,510 --> 01:28:23,790 you say? Yeah, I agree. There was some concept pieces shocked 1522 01:28:23,790 --> 01:28:23,850 a 1523 01:28:23,850 --> 01:28:25,140 John C Dvorak: robot we talked about 1524 01:28:27,630 --> 01:28:29,160 Adam Curry: did you ever find out what 1525 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,520 John C Dvorak: No. We've actually talked about the dinner 1526 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,750 table for a long time and nobody remembers including JC 1527 01:28:36,780 --> 01:28:38,910 Adam Curry: he doesn't remember what his what his other ultra 1528 01:28:38,940 --> 01:28:44,640 ultra ego was the third 117 71 We lost 200 Trolls goodbye 1529 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:51,270 trolls drown hope you drown.

But again, it wasn't 1531 01:28:55,470 --> 01:28:58,080 really something I mean, there was nothing that compared to 1532 01:28:58,110 --> 01:28:59,070 O'Reilly's No, 1533 01:28:59,070 --> 01:29:00,990 John C Dvorak: there was no comparison. There really wasn't 1534 01:29:01,020 --> 01:29:01,800 What else was there? 1535 01:29:02,819 --> 01:29:06,629 Adam Curry: Some Bitcoin stuff? No, no. Comic Strip blogger with 1536 01:29:06,659 --> 01:29:10,379 a anti AI art now. It was really it. I mean, sometimes you just 1537 01:29:10,379 --> 01:29:14,099 go Okay, that's it. There's just no two ways about it. But we 1538 01:29:14,099 --> 01:29:16,949 appreciate the work that all of the artists do. I mean, really, 1539 01:29:16,979 --> 01:29:20,849 you kick ass you every single show. We have so much to choose 1540 01:29:20,849 --> 01:29:24,779 from. Now, we haven't gone back to the Evergreen archives in 1541 01:29:24,779 --> 01:29:29,759 many many months. I don't think because it's just there's just 1542 01:29:29,759 --> 01:29:32,999 always something that we can we did about five months ago. Yeah, 1543 01:29:33,029 --> 01:29:36,779 that's many many months five months ago. And it's already 1544 01:29:36,779 --> 01:29:39,539 filling up now. You can follow along there no agenda art 1545 01:29:39,539 --> 01:29:42,689 generator.com. And the artists do this live on the and by the 1546 01:29:42,689 --> 01:29:46,229 way, O'Reilly had to haul ass on doing that thing because it was 1547 01:29:46,229 --> 01:29:47,399 near the end of the show. 1548 01:29:49,350 --> 01:29:52,770 John C Dvorak: If I recall you had a zebra in his back pocket. 1549 01:29:53,609 --> 01:29:57,599 Adam Curry: Is that a zebra in your back pocket? are you just 1550 01:29:57,599 --> 01:30:03,629 happy to see me Nobody in our generator.com Thank you again to 1551 01:30:03,629 --> 01:30:05,849 all of our artists. We appreciate the work you do. I 1552 01:30:05,849 --> 01:30:08,519 hope you appreciate the critique that we give you because no one 1553 01:30:08,519 --> 01:30:13,139 else would be as honest with you as we are. That's for sure. Now, 1554 01:30:13,139 --> 01:30:15,539 let us thank the executive and Associate Executive producers 1555 01:30:15,539 --> 01:30:22,949 for episode 1541 540. And we will kick it off with our 1556 01:30:22,979 --> 01:30:28,799 monthly massive supporter ceramiche. Sir Hahnemann, your 1557 01:30:28,799 --> 01:30:36,689 honor, Mr. Anonymous of Dogpatch and lower Slavia 25 to 2252. He 1558 01:30:36,689 --> 01:30:39,989 always comes in with numbers, we have no idea what they mean. But 1559 01:30:39,989 --> 01:30:43,739 it's always very meaningful to us. He received so much value 1560 01:30:43,739 --> 01:30:47,609 from the show. This is what he returns back to us and I want to 1561 01:30:47,609 --> 01:30:51,899 read his note, which, as usual, comes in with cash and is 1562 01:30:51,899 --> 01:30:56,459 typewritten it actually is that printed? course was that is that 1563 01:30:56,459 --> 01:30:58,589 a typewriter? Can you tell us that must be printed? 1564 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:01,800 John C Dvorak: I'm pretty sure it's a printer. But yeah, he 1565 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:02,970 Yes, it has to be printed 1566 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,100 Adam Curry: from Serrana must have Dogpatch and Laura Sloboda. 1567 01:31:05,100 --> 01:31:07,680 Thank you for the continuing hard work and keeping us 1568 01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,320 informed of world events and reminding us of the bias in 1569 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:14,400 reporting to sway our views. I am certain none of the producers 1570 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,280 ever use any of the techniques learned on your soul to 1571 01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,700 influence a romantic interest or other in their own best 1572 01:31:20,700 --> 01:31:23,850 interest. Well, that's an interesting observation. 1573 01:31:25,140 --> 01:31:30,180 Answering an unasked questions I used to Oh, yes, he often sends 1574 01:31:30,180 --> 01:31:36,480 a $2 bill or multiple $2 bills in his his donation. I use $2 1575 01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:41,100 bills because it has the best artwork of any US currency. What 1576 01:31:41,100 --> 01:31:46,950 is on the $2 bill John Jefferson. I also use dollar 1577 01:31:46,950 --> 01:31:49,920 coins which I believe are some of the better minted coins. Oh, 1578 01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:54,420 he's going for quality cash. I encourage no agenda producers to 1579 01:31:54,420 --> 01:31:58,080 request to dollar bills at banks and use them using cash is 1580 01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:01,590 already becoming arcane.

It makes a 1844 01:50:25,140 --> 01:50:26,850 difference to have two hosts, 1845 01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:30,300 Adam Curry: correct. Although Jimmy Dore has a sidekick 1846 01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:32,579 John C Dvorak: Oh, the psychics are different.

And also, we have boots on the 1849 01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:44,190 ground everywhere. And we, we incorporate those into our show, 1850 01:50:44,190 --> 01:50:48,360 we listen to people we read the emails that we receive, we 1851 01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:52,530 appreciate and, and value boots on the ground reports from 1852 01:50:52,530 --> 01:50:54,570 people who know what they're talking about. And we have and 1853 01:50:54,570 --> 01:50:57,450 everyone's an expert in at least one thing, everyone's an expert 1854 01:50:57,450 --> 01:51:04,470 in something. So this is the the farmers citizen movement party, 1855 01:51:04,740 --> 01:51:07,620 which kind of swept the elections, the provincial 1856 01:51:07,620 --> 01:51:10,770 elections in the Netherlands, they got 17 seats in government, 1857 01:51:10,770 --> 01:51:14,880 it's a big deal. Unfortunately, this was all a marketing 1858 01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:19,740 campaign. These two guys who have been have an advertising 1859 01:51:19,740 --> 01:51:23,430 company and have been advertising and creating 1860 01:51:23,430 --> 01:51:29,100 campaigns for all of the big I would say big agriculture 1861 01:51:29,130 --> 01:51:34,440 chemical companies. Really if you look at they're at the party 1862 01:51:34,440 --> 01:51:37,680 program, they're all in they feel the nitrogen crisis while 1863 01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:44,430 is understandable, they are not as is advertised. The the party 1864 01:51:44,430 --> 01:51:47,580 that all of a sudden the whole country voted for because 1865 01:51:47,670 --> 01:51:50,130 they're, you know, everyone wants to stand behind the 1866 01:51:50,130 --> 01:51:52,530 farmers. Yes, they might have done that they might have 1867 01:51:52,530 --> 01:51:56,370 thought that but this party is not they're not the good guys. 1868 01:51:56,580 --> 01:51:59,760 They are all in on the tiny homes. They're all in on nature 1869 01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:03,570 before the farmers and I just need to play this clip of Jimmy 1870 01:52:03,570 --> 01:52:06,630 Dore because he really missed the mark. And the end the 1871 01:52:06,630 --> 01:52:10,950 egregious part is he's reading from the New York Times and 1872 01:52:10,950 --> 01:52:13,500 thinks the New York Times is going to give you the truth. 1873 01:52:13,500 --> 01:52:15,180 Come on, Jimmy, you know better than that. 1874 01:52:15,180 --> 01:52:16,710 Unknown: So the government announcement comes so you're 1875 01:52:16,710 --> 01:52:19,200 gonna get rid of family farms and the Netherlands that just 1876 01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:20,040 seems crazy. 1877 01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:21,990 Adam Curry: I mean, that's like paper straws, I thought was 1878 01:52:21,990 --> 01:52:25,350 stupid. But this is like, you're right, the sidekick is 1879 01:52:25,350 --> 01:52:28,860 worthless. It's you gotta have two hosts, you gotta have two 1880 01:52:28,860 --> 01:52:31,830 who can catch each other and check each other. 1881 01:52:32,790 --> 01:52:35,160 Unknown: In one of their largest ever demonstrations, farmers 1882 01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:37,650 demanded that scrapping the recently announced plans by the 1883 01:52:37,650 --> 01:52:41,820 Hague why do I tell you all this? Because the Dutch Pro 1884 01:52:41,820 --> 01:52:46,170 Farmer party swept the elections. Fascism. So those 1885 01:52:46,170 --> 01:52:49,680 farmers so they, they Yeah, they are going to be called white 1886 01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,870 supremacist fascists Nazis, you know that. 1887 01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:54,750 Adam Curry: In fact, that's actually a good observation. The 1888 01:52:54,750 --> 01:52:57,330 fact that they're not being called white supremacist and 1889 01:52:57,330 --> 01:53:01,470 Nazis should give you a clue. Three W's women wash away 1890 01:53:01,470 --> 01:53:02,160 racism. What a 1891 01:53:03,300 --> 01:53:05,850 Unknown: surprise victory is widely seen as a protest vote 1892 01:53:05,850 --> 01:53:08,640 against Prime Minister Mark roots government and some of his 1893 01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:12,270 policies including a drone to slash nitrogen emissions, which 1894 01:53:12,270 --> 01:53:16,770 may say, which many say will imperil farming operations? Hey, 1895 01:53:16,770 --> 01:53:20,430 a small Pro Farmer. Farmers Party has swept provincial 1896 01:53:20,430 --> 01:53:24,030 elections in the Netherlands to become the biggest in the Senate 1897 01:53:24,180 --> 01:53:26,880 by channeling wide dissatisfaction with the Dutch 1898 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:30,330 government and a sharp challenge to Prime Minister Mark roots 1899 01:53:30,330 --> 01:53:33,810 administration. This is good to see as it occurred. Aren't you 1900 01:53:33,810 --> 01:53:37,080 happy to see this this is something finally something 1901 01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:40,770 somewhere there's a positive note somewhere that people are 1902 01:53:40,770 --> 01:53:43,410 starting to jump out take control back of their 1903 01:53:43,410 --> 01:53:46,470 governments. The result put the party the farmers Citizens 1904 01:53:46,470 --> 01:53:49,290 Movement, which has fewer than 11,000 members, according to its 1905 01:53:49,290 --> 01:53:52,410 website, on track to become a major player in a government 1906 01:53:52,410 --> 01:53:55,440 body that approves or rejects legislation that comes out of 1907 01:53:55,440 --> 01:53:58,290 the House of Representatives. Some Dutch voters said they 1908 01:53:58,290 --> 01:54:01,350 viewed the party success as a victory against the country's 1909 01:54:01,350 --> 01:54:04,260 elites as well as the government. They said it just 1910 01:54:04,260 --> 01:54:05,340 like their Brexit. 1911 01:54:07,529 --> 01:54:09,959 Adam Curry: So I hope Jimmy hears this. We appreciate what 1912 01:54:09,959 --> 01:54:13,199 you do, man, but you got it all wrong on this one. And you 1913 01:54:13,199 --> 01:54:15,509 should never trust the New York Times. 1914 01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:19,140 John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, I guess going to the New York 1915 01:54:19,140 --> 01:54:22,920 Times to get the confirmation is like the world's worst thing to 1916 01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,020 do. Real this particular moment. 1917 01:54:25,350 --> 01:54:28,020 Adam Curry: Here's another one and just we'll stick with big ag 1918 01:54:28,020 --> 01:54:31,770 or Big Pharma and this gets all chemicals. This is another one 1919 01:54:31,770 --> 01:54:34,740 of these. It used to be Denmark but oh no. We've been doing the 1920 01:54:34,740 --> 01:54:37,410 show long enough. We remember it used to be Denmark and now it is 1921 01:54:37,410 --> 01:54:38,190 Finland and that's 1922 01:54:38,190 --> 01:54:41,820 Unknown: another reason to be happy in Helsinki.

The 1924 01:54:45,450 --> 01:54:49,590 UN sponsored index that measures GDP per capita social support, 1925 01:54:49,620 --> 01:54:53,280 life expectancy, generosity and corruption. According to your 1926 01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:53,760 Wait, what 1927 01:54:54,779 --> 01:54:57,239 John C Dvorak: did she say six years running? 1928 01:54:57,510 --> 01:54:59,190 Adam Curry: That's what she said. I don't remember it being 1929 01:54:59,190 --> 01:54:59,580 six. 1930 01:54:59,609 --> 01:55:01,769 John C Dvorak: It used to be No, that's bullcrap. We had Denmark 1931 01:55:01,769 --> 01:55:08,939 was last year I don't and the year before. Let me see. This 1932 01:55:08,939 --> 01:55:11,189 was a must be competitive happiness. 1933 01:55:11,790 --> 01:55:14,400 Adam Curry: No, this poor does. This is this is the one I think 1934 01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:19,140 this is the one I'm looking at when's the last time we had the 1935 01:55:19,140 --> 01:55:28,500 Happiness Index? The last time it was 2014. No, I that's the 1936 01:55:28,500 --> 01:55:33,690 last time we reported on it at least. Anyway, we'll continue 1937 01:55:33,719 --> 01:55:36,209 Unknown: well, it's life expectancy, generosity and 1938 01:55:36,209 --> 01:55:40,049 corruption. According to the study, Finns, strong feelings of 1939 01:55:40,049 --> 01:55:43,139 communal support and mutual trust, help them navigate 1940 01:55:43,139 --> 01:55:47,009 difficulties like the COVID 19 pandemic as well as liberty to 1941 01:55:47,009 --> 01:55:50,639 make their own choices and faith in their governments. Minimal 1942 01:55:50,639 --> 01:55:53,069 suspicion of government corruption. All 1943 01:55:53,069 --> 01:55:55,799 Adam Curry: right. So happy in Helsinki, why do you think 1944 01:55:55,799 --> 01:56:00,329 they're all happy in Helsinki? Well, we also happen to have the 1945 01:56:00,359 --> 01:56:07,469 antidepressant consumption index, and Finland doubled the 1946 01:56:07,469 --> 01:56:12,779 amount of people per capita, what is the what is the actual 1947 01:56:12,779 --> 01:56:20,609 number here? What is the number here? Oh, I'm sorry, the DD D 1948 01:56:20,609 --> 01:56:27,029 the Define daily dose? What is this as new. So Finland, in the 1949 01:56:27,029 --> 01:56:31,829 number one country of with the most antidepressants daily dose, 1950 01:56:31,829 --> 01:56:36,179 I guess the defined daily dose is Iceland. They went from 71 to 1951 01:56:36,179 --> 01:56:43,409 153. Sweden went from 45 to 105. Norway from for only a small 1952 01:56:43,409 --> 01:56:47,549 increase for Norway, France, a small increase, but Finland more 1953 01:56:47,549 --> 01:56:55,619 than doubled. 36 Define daily doses to 82. And so if you're 1954 01:56:55,619 --> 01:56:58,409 wondering why they're also happy and trust their government, 1955 01:56:58,439 --> 01:57:03,119 there's your answer. And, and the Netherlands who always show 1956 01:57:03,119 --> 01:57:07,109 up on the list, they actually didn't they went from 31 to 47. 1957 01:57:07,349 --> 01:57:10,649 But I would say look for Iceland to be the happiest country next 1958 01:57:10,649 --> 01:57:15,029 year. And maybe Portugal who went from 32 defined daily dose 1959 01:57:15,029 --> 01:57:20,819 to 131 They're drugging you people Yes, that's why you're 1960 01:57:20,819 --> 01:57:23,939 happy. Of course happy in Helsinki. 1961 01:57:25,500 --> 01:57:27,360 John C Dvorak: Well, Brave New World. Yeah, 1962 01:57:27,420 --> 01:57:30,240 Adam Curry: yes. So um, right out of Huxley, Soma, right on 1963 01:57:30,240 --> 01:57:37,500 Soma. Sad, but Soma. I'll just stay on Big Pharma because 1964 01:57:37,500 --> 01:57:40,980 there's another change coming up. I love this. This is, you 1965 01:57:40,980 --> 01:57:44,970 know, if we haven't given big pharma Enough, enough of our 1966 01:57:44,970 --> 01:57:50,520 minds, our bodies our health. Let's add this to them, shall 1967 01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:50,760 we? 1968 01:57:50,790 --> 01:57:52,650 Unknown: The Biden administration announced plans 1969 01:57:52,650 --> 01:57:55,980 today to overhaul the network that's run the nation's organ 1970 01:57:55,980 --> 01:57:59,700 transplant system for nearly four decades. The United Network 1971 01:57:59,700 --> 01:58:03,540 for Organ Sharing, known as Eunos, has faced criticism for 1972 01:58:03,540 --> 01:58:07,410 inadequately managing the process. In 2022, doctors 1973 01:58:07,410 --> 01:58:11,550 performed more than 42,000 transplants in the US. But there 1974 01:58:11,550 --> 01:58:18,030 are still 104,234 men, women and children currently on the organ 1975 01:58:18,030 --> 01:58:21,780 transplant waitlist. And every 10 minutes another person is 1976 01:58:21,780 --> 01:58:26,640 added to that list. 17 people die every day waiting for an 1977 01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:30,180 organ transplant. The proposal would open up a competitive 1978 01:58:30,180 --> 01:58:33,480 bidding process for other organizations to possibly take 1979 01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:37,140 over the network with a goal of shortening wait times and saving 1980 01:58:37,140 --> 01:58:37,620 lives 1981 01:58:37,650 --> 01:58:39,930 Adam Curry: and creating a great marketplace. 1982 01:58:40,409 --> 01:58:42,329 John C Dvorak: I think they should just give it to the turn 1983 01:58:42,329 --> 01:58:43,739 that over to the Chinese. 1984 01:58:43,769 --> 01:58:46,649 Adam Curry: Yeah, they know how to do it. This is totally what 1985 01:58:46,649 --> 01:58:50,519 this is this, you know, be careful. You're gonna hear this 1986 01:58:50,579 --> 01:58:54,179 this story that John and I grew up with, even though we're 1987 01:58:54,179 --> 01:58:58,529 separated by a couple of years. So I heard about this guy. And 1988 01:58:58,559 --> 01:59:02,489 he met a girl while he was on a business trip, and then he woke 1989 01:59:02,489 --> 01:59:05,459 up the next morning in a bathtub filled with ice and on the 1990 01:59:05,459 --> 01:59:08,579 mirror with lipstick and said, we've taken your kidneys. 1991 01:59:10,170 --> 01:59:15,840 John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's not a time to get to the hospital. You 1992 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:20,310 know that? Oregon staffed not to go back to some of the older 1993 01:59:20,370 --> 01:59:22,920 older shows, but I'll bring up the details of this one later. 1994 01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:28,320 But during the mania for vasectomies in the 1920s there 1995 01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:35,550 was a lot of talk about transplanting balls, test test 1996 01:59:35,550 --> 01:59:40,050 and because you do get added virility so they would take they 1997 01:59:40,050 --> 01:59:46,800 would take gonads from one guy who's supposed to maybe dead and 1998 01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:50,850 then put them in another so you have like four balls. And at one 1999 01:59:50,850 --> 01:59:54,990 point there was a problem with people doing exactly having that 2000 01:59:54,990 --> 01:59:58,230 exact same thing happened with with the missing kidney, where 2001 01:59:58,230 --> 02:00:01,920 they get knocked out in a new You are an ally and they would 2002 02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:07,050 have their balls stolen. Wow. Ball theft ball theft. I got 2003 02:00:07,050 --> 02:00:09,810 some stories to tell when I get to get the details mail write it 2004 02:00:09,810 --> 02:00:11,610 up and then we can talk about it some other time to 2005 02:00:11,610 --> 02:00:13,080 Adam Curry: put it in the newsletter. It sounds like a 2006 02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:15,240 groovy one for everyone to be grossed out by 2007 02:00:15,270 --> 02:00:17,850 John C Dvorak: people's attempts. Donations will be 2008 02:00:17,850 --> 02:00:19,080 skyrocketing Marty 2009 02:00:19,079 --> 02:00:21,269 Adam Curry: itching my stomach feels weird. I don't know if I 2010 02:00:21,269 --> 02:00:25,019 like this topic at all. Instead good instead. Let's go to the 2011 02:00:25,019 --> 02:00:28,259 Orange Man. The stuff that actually obsessed our American 2012 02:00:28,259 --> 02:00:29,669 news media all we 2013 02:00:29,670 --> 02:00:32,190 Unknown: can Manhattan district attorney investigating Donald 2014 02:00:32,190 --> 02:00:35,940 Trump's hush money payments to porn star stormy Daniels told 2015 02:00:35,940 --> 02:00:40,200 the grand jury hearing the case to stand down for today. Sources 2016 02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:43,620 tell ABC News John's were informed at least one additional 2017 02:00:43,620 --> 02:00:47,640 witness may be called to testify before they decide whether to 2018 02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:51,030 indict the former President Trump declared over the weekend 2019 02:00:51,030 --> 02:00:54,240 that he would be arrested on Tuesday. That obviously did not 2020 02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:57,630 happen, obviously. But New York is still bracing for protests 2021 02:00:57,630 --> 02:01:00,720 after Trump called for his supporters to turn out. A few 2022 02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:05,220 people so far seem to be heeding his call. Former Vice President 2023 02:01:05,220 --> 02:01:08,490 Mike Pence, who saw firsthand what happened when Trump called 2024 02:01:08,490 --> 02:01:13,170 for protests. January sixth said people should not protest this 2025 02:01:13,170 --> 02:01:15,390 time. I would discourage Americans 2026 02:01:15,390 --> 02:01:19,200 from engaging in protests, if in fact, the former president is 2027 02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:19,650 indicted. 2028 02:01:20,339 --> 02:01:24,149 Adam Curry: Wow, man, it's like Did we not say this was a hoax? 2029 02:01:24,149 --> 02:01:28,109 This was Lane's was not going to happen. I'm pretty sure we said 2030 02:01:28,109 --> 02:01:32,279 that. Yeah. Last show. Yeah. It's like don't don't don't 2031 02:01:32,369 --> 02:01:36,839 we're not buying it. Although I do like what Newsweek did, who 2032 02:01:36,839 --> 02:01:38,999 owns Newsweek, they say they used to be the spook 2033 02:01:38,999 --> 02:01:39,899 publication. I'm 2034 02:01:39,899 --> 02:01:42,149 John C Dvorak: independent group. That's a small, small 2035 02:01:42,149 --> 02:01:45,689 publisher. I'm not sure anymore. I Bloomberg owned it for a 2036 02:01:45,689 --> 02:01:46,319 while. 2037 02:01:46,500 --> 02:01:49,530 Adam Curry: Trump supporters planned bank run to protest his 2038 02:01:49,530 --> 02:01:53,640 arrest and have that's, that's a great setup. That's a great 2039 02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:56,880 setup. If there's a bank run just Oh, I got the info for you. 2040 02:01:56,880 --> 02:02:01,050 If there's a bank run, run, just blame Trump dropped at it. I got 2041 02:02:01,050 --> 02:02:04,290 the info on the law about bank runs for Yeah, 2042 02:02:04,289 --> 02:02:07,679 John C Dvorak: I found out about it, too. What did you get? That 2043 02:02:07,679 --> 02:02:10,769 in 20, there was actually something of a law that was 2044 02:02:10,769 --> 02:02:14,639 repealed in 2012. For free speech purposes. It used to 2045 02:02:14,639 --> 02:02:17,939 exist, know where I got it from when I was a kid, I guess I knew 2046 02:02:17,939 --> 02:02:22,979 about this law. But it was taken care of removed from service in 2047 02:02:22,979 --> 02:02:24,959 2012. It's there is no law. 2048 02:02:25,290 --> 02:02:29,940 Adam Curry: Well, Section nine a two of the Securities Exchange 2049 02:02:29,940 --> 02:02:34,110 Act prohibits any person from directly or indirectly using any 2050 02:02:34,110 --> 02:02:37,740 means of interstate commerce or communication to make false 2051 02:02:37,740 --> 02:02:41,310 statements or omit a material fact that could affect the value 2052 02:02:41,310 --> 02:02:44,970 of securities with the intent to deceive or manipulate the 2053 02:02:44,970 --> 02:02:47,640 market. This applies to a wide range of securities, including 2054 02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:52,170 stocks, bonds, other investments, also banks, but you 2055 02:02:52,170 --> 02:02:56,910 have to they have to prove that you profited from it. Otherwise, 2056 02:02:56,910 --> 02:03:00,720 it doesn't really count. Yeah. Yeah. 2057 02:03:01,290 --> 02:03:04,740 John C Dvorak: Well, on the topic of Trump, yes, I have. No, 2058 02:03:04,740 --> 02:03:07,260 I mean, this is again, the reason I get NTD every couple of 2059 02:03:07,260 --> 02:03:10,470 weeks, I'll do this. Do you know anything about Trump's 10 Point 2060 02:03:10,470 --> 02:03:15,300 Plan? And agenda 45, or whatever it is? 47 No, 47. 2061 02:03:15,720 --> 02:03:18,870 Adam Curry: He hasn't weighed and I think the 10 point plan 2062 02:03:18,870 --> 02:03:22,020 sounds familiar, but I have certainly not heard a clip or 2063 02:03:22,020 --> 02:03:22,800 anything about it. 2064 02:03:23,550 --> 02:03:24,960 John C Dvorak: Here's a clip, former 2065 02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:27,750 Unknown: President Trump revealed his plan to dismantle 2066 02:03:27,750 --> 02:03:30,990 what he calls the deep state yesterday as part of his agenda 2067 02:03:30,990 --> 02:03:35,280 47 for 2024 Meanwhile, demonstrators both in support of 2068 02:03:35,280 --> 02:03:38,280 and against him took to the streets and cities Jeremy 2069 02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:40,980 Sandberg has more on Trump's 10 Point Plan. 2070 02:03:41,340 --> 02:03:45,960 Adam Curry: Oh, of course, we didn't hear that. That will be 2071 02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:49,170 crazy. Before we play your second clip. Here's what we did 2072 02:03:49,170 --> 02:03:49,470 here 2073 02:03:49,500 --> 02:03:52,080 Unknown: during that possible perp walk and describe the 2074 02:03:52,080 --> 02:03:55,680 potential situation as a fun experience, Joe, 2075 02:03:55,710 --> 02:03:58,980 so that might be fun in front of the cameras for him. But I think 2076 02:03:58,980 --> 02:04:01,860 it's different when you get in there. And you're having I 2077 02:04:01,860 --> 02:04:05,310 could, you know, we don't know but having your fingerprint 2078 02:04:05,310 --> 02:04:07,170 taken and picture taken. We 2079 02:04:07,170 --> 02:04:10,320 call that mica, right. That's called whistling past the 2080 02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:13,770 graveyard. He's not looking forward to any of it. He's 2081 02:04:13,770 --> 02:04:18,240 horrified. He's just talking big. The walls are closing in. 2082 02:04:18,270 --> 02:04:23,310 Adam Curry: No walls are closing the walls. 2083 02:04:24,390 --> 02:04:28,350 John C Dvorak: The walls have been closing in since 2016 2015. 2084 02:04:29,909 --> 02:04:31,979 Adam Curry: The walls are closing in again. 2085 02:04:31,980 --> 02:04:36,240 John C Dvorak: We have so many mega clips of walls closing in 2086 02:04:36,240 --> 02:04:40,680 by these douche bags. Guys do worse. I don't understand why 2087 02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:44,220 he's still on the air. But okay, let's go to Butch Trump's 10 2088 02:04:44,220 --> 02:04:45,510 Point Plan Part Two. 2089 02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:48,000 Unknown: They're all sick. And it's fake news 2090 02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:51,480 Trump vowed to aggressively removed rogue bureaucrats uproot 2091 02:04:51,480 --> 02:04:55,050 corrupt actors in the national security sector and rework FISA 2092 02:04:55,050 --> 02:04:58,650 courts if elected in 2024. He plans to create a Truth and 2093 02:04:58,650 --> 02:04:59,970 Reconciliation Commission 2094 02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:04,260 to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, 2095 02:05:04,260 --> 02:05:05,940 censorship and corruption, 2096 02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:09,210 he's promising to crack down on government leakers, that he says 2097 02:05:09,210 --> 02:05:12,390 collude with media to create false narratives and says he 2098 02:05:12,390 --> 02:05:15,360 will ask Congress to create an independent auditing system to 2099 02:05:15,360 --> 02:05:18,300 monitor intelligence agencies to make sure they're not running 2100 02:05:18,300 --> 02:05:22,110 disinformation campaigns are spying on citizens. He's also 2101 02:05:22,110 --> 02:05:24,510 proposing term limits for members of Congress. 2102 02:05:24,690 --> 02:05:28,590 This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore 2103 02:05:28,590 --> 02:05:33,240 government that is controlled by the people and for the people. 2104 02:05:37,080 --> 02:05:40,410 Reactions to Trump's possible upcoming indictments were mixed 2105 02:05:40,410 --> 02:05:46,080 in New York on Tuesday. Both supporters and adversaries were 2106 02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:49,410 on the streets making their stance known proponents in other 2107 02:05:49,410 --> 02:05:52,260 parts of the country like Alabama and Florida said they 2108 02:05:52,260 --> 02:05:55,650 were not protesting but rallying in support of Trump. Instead, 2109 02:05:55,739 --> 02:05:59,099 we're not going to just lay out lay it lay down and pretend that 2110 02:05:59,099 --> 02:06:02,069 this is normal or that this is right. It's not right. 2111 02:06:02,099 --> 02:06:06,419 They've spent millions of US tax dollars coming after him instead 2112 02:06:06,419 --> 02:06:09,629 of working with him to help our country. And I think it's 2113 02:06:09,629 --> 02:06:13,049 ridiculous, but like I said, it's benefiting Trump it along. 2114 02:06:13,289 --> 02:06:13,859 I'd love our 2115 02:06:13,859 --> 02:06:18,089 Adam Curry: governor. But Trump's our man. Did you hear 2116 02:06:18,089 --> 02:06:18,959 about Chris Rock? 2117 02:06:20,399 --> 02:06:21,749 John C Dvorak: No. What about Chris Rock? 2118 02:06:21,779 --> 02:06:26,339 Adam Curry: I guess he did his latest stand up in DC and a lot 2119 02:06:26,339 --> 02:06:31,409 of the muckety mucks were there, including Nancy Pelosi. And 2120 02:06:31,499 --> 02:06:34,829 Chris Rock said, You're Are you really gonna use? Are you effing 2121 02:06:34,829 --> 02:06:37,529 stupid? You're gonna arrest Trump. You want to make him you 2122 02:06:37,529 --> 02:06:40,289 want to make them more popular? Do you not understand how stupid 2123 02:06:40,289 --> 02:06:51,599 you are? Yes, yeah, he's right. The M five M man. I got two 2124 02:06:51,599 --> 02:06:54,719 clips show just need to play one is since we're talking Trumpian 2125 02:06:54,719 --> 02:07:02,459 stuff. Sam Harris. Teach. How did Sam Harris get popular? He's 2126 02:07:02,459 --> 02:07:03,599 such a dick. 2127 02:07:04,500 --> 02:07:05,850 John C Dvorak: Have you ever seen him? 2128 02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:08,700 Adam Curry: Why doesn't his podcast is very successful? Or 2129 02:07:08,700 --> 02:07:10,650 was I don't know. I don't know if it's still successful. 2130 02:07:10,920 --> 02:07:13,050 John C Dvorak: Ever seen it? I don't watch him. I never who 2131 02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:17,310 never heard of him before he became somehow popular. I don't 2132 02:07:17,310 --> 02:07:21,030 know. What did he do before? I don't know. But he's he's very 2133 02:07:21,060 --> 02:07:23,070 good at what you're doing to clips. 2134 02:07:23,370 --> 02:07:25,740 Adam Curry: He listened to his his latest. 2135 02:07:26,130 --> 02:07:28,920 Unknown: There's we're swimming in a sea of misinformation where 2136 02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:33,510 you've got people who are moving the opinions of millions of 2137 02:07:33,510 --> 02:07:38,220 others? Who should who should not have an opinion. 2138 02:07:38,250 --> 02:07:41,340 Adam Curry: That's us. We should not we should not have an 2139 02:07:41,340 --> 02:07:41,940 opinion 2140 02:07:42,090 --> 02:07:46,590 Unknown: on these topics. Like there's no, there is no scenario 2141 02:07:46,590 --> 02:07:49,590 in which you should be getting your opinion about vaccine 2142 02:07:49,590 --> 02:07:55,860 safety or, or climate change or the war in Ukraine, or anything 2143 02:07:55,860 --> 02:07:59,010 else that we might want to talk about from anyone. Candace 2144 02:07:59,010 --> 02:08:02,160 Owens, from Candace Owens, right. He's just like, like, 2145 02:08:02,460 --> 02:08:06,600 like she, she's not a relevant expert on any of those topics. 2146 02:08:07,050 --> 02:08:10,440 And what's more, she doesn't seem to care. Right. And he's 2147 02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:15,600 living in a culture, right, that has had that has amplified that 2148 02:08:15,600 --> 02:08:19,110 not Karen into a business model and an effective business model, 2149 02:08:19,140 --> 02:08:22,500 right. So it's just great. And that is something very Trumpian 2150 02:08:22,500 --> 02:08:22,980 about all that. 2151 02:08:23,100 --> 02:08:25,650 Adam Curry: Oh, there it is very Trumpian. Well, okay. 2152 02:08:25,799 --> 02:08:28,439 John C Dvorak: All right. So it makes him someone you should be 2153 02:08:28,439 --> 02:08:30,239 listening to by his own standards. 2154 02:08:30,270 --> 02:08:32,100 Adam Curry: You remember what the last time we played Sam 2155 02:08:32,100 --> 02:08:37,260 Harris what he was saying, right? No, oh, yeah, you do you 2156 02:08:37,260 --> 02:08:37,590 do. 2157 02:08:37,620 --> 02:08:39,780 John C Dvorak: Sam Harris, born in 67 was an American 2158 02:08:39,780 --> 02:08:45,900 philosopher, neuroscientist. Okay. Author and podcast host. 2159 02:08:46,140 --> 02:08:48,750 Yeah, his work touches on a range of topics including 2160 02:08:48,750 --> 02:08:51,480 nationality, religion, ethics. What is he got to do with any of 2161 02:08:51,480 --> 02:08:55,020 this? I don't know. Harris came to prominence for his criticism 2162 02:08:55,020 --> 02:08:58,980 of religion and Islam in particular, and is known as one 2163 02:08:58,980 --> 02:09:01,860 of the four horsemen of the new Atheism, along with Richard 2164 02:09:01,860 --> 02:09:06,240 Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett. All of them, 2165 02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:09,930 most of them, in fact, represented by John Brockman. My 2166 02:09:09,930 --> 02:09:18,030 agent, seriously, oh, that's the end of phase one that pin Martha 2167 02:09:18,060 --> 02:09:24,870 over new. Okay, so he's a dream as atheist. And so he's got cred 2168 02:09:24,870 --> 02:09:25,650 because of that. 2169 02:09:25,679 --> 02:09:28,499 Adam Curry: I think this is this is when we first introduced him 2170 02:09:28,499 --> 02:09:30,719 on the show was when he said this. Yeah, 2171 02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:35,160 Unknown: honestly, that thus far is the most harmful aspect of 2172 02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:41,100 his presidency. It's just, it's the complete ruination of any 2173 02:09:41,100 --> 02:09:44,700 standard of honesty in in political discourse. And it's, 2174 02:09:45,210 --> 02:09:51,450 it's astonishing to me it's I have not yet accepted that this 2175 02:09:51,450 --> 02:09:55,710 is even possible, much less actual. So I mean, I'm, I don't 2176 02:09:55,710 --> 02:09:58,320 think I'm alone, but I'm continually having the 2177 02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:01,710 bewildering experience that I just couldn't not believe this 2178 02:10:01,710 --> 02:10:04,050 person is president. And it really is 2179 02:10:04,350 --> 02:10:06,420 Adam Curry: that what he was the one that said it was, gosh, I 2180 02:10:06,420 --> 02:10:11,100 wish I had the right clip. He said, No, it's okay to lie. If 2181 02:10:11,100 --> 02:10:13,110 it's about Trump, it's okay to lie about 2182 02:10:13,889 --> 02:10:15,869 Unknown: Hunter Biden at that point Hunter Biden literally 2183 02:10:15,869 --> 02:10:16,919 could have had had 2184 02:10:16,980 --> 02:10:18,720 Adam Curry: memory. He said, It's okay. We it's okay to lie 2185 02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:20,700 about stuff as long as it's getting rid of I don't want to 2186 02:10:20,700 --> 02:10:23,700 play it as long as it's getting rid of Trump. Remember, that? 2187 02:10:24,210 --> 02:10:24,750 was a big 2188 02:10:24,750 --> 02:10:26,700 John C Dvorak: deal. Remember it but believe me, you 2189 02:10:26,700 --> 02:10:30,420 Adam Curry: believe me? Okay, so let's go to the approved medium. 2190 02:10:31,170 --> 02:10:35,970 And it's finally out. Finally we have her show. Inside is what's 2191 02:10:35,970 --> 02:10:41,130 called inside with Jen Psaki. As we know, she was the spokes hole 2192 02:10:41,130 --> 02:10:44,040 for but it gave her a day actually gave her a show. They 2193 02:10:44,040 --> 02:10:47,250 gave her a show they gave her show caught it make it yep, God 2194 02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:50,700 gave her show. And let me give you my professional opinion. 2195 02:10:50,880 --> 02:10:55,200 Since you and I have been in our past we've executive producer 2196 02:10:55,200 --> 02:10:59,550 and we've produced many, many mainstream products, including 2197 02:10:59,550 --> 02:11:05,280 television, and I would say first of all her hair is is 2198 02:11:05,280 --> 02:11:09,480 disastrous. I don't know I don't know who did her hair. It's it's 2199 02:11:09,480 --> 02:11:09,630 so 2200 02:11:09,630 --> 02:11:12,060 John C Dvorak: we're doing our producer talk. I have to get I 2201 02:11:12,060 --> 02:11:13,500 gotta get an image where am I gonna get 2202 02:11:13,500 --> 02:11:16,290 Adam Curry: this? It's just go to inside with GIMP Saki and 2203 02:11:16,290 --> 02:11:20,310 make sure you get the one where she's wearing all white. A 2204 02:11:20,310 --> 02:11:25,110 mistake as a news person. What are you an angel? So her 2205 02:11:25,110 --> 02:11:28,950 clothing is good. His Heffley do not want to know why all white 2206 02:11:28,950 --> 02:11:30,150 is is wrong. 2207 02:11:30,149 --> 02:11:32,789 John C Dvorak: And Daisy was actually illegal. It was 2208 02:11:32,789 --> 02:11:34,619 illegal. Illegal because it blew up. 2209 02:11:36,180 --> 02:11:38,760 Adam Curry: That's right. It blew up the tubes. But it's not 2210 02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:44,100 a good look. The hair is a disaster. I'm sorry, the hair is 2211 02:11:44,100 --> 02:11:49,320 just a disaster. And any woman who looks at her hair, at least 2212 02:11:49,320 --> 02:11:53,220 the clip that I've seen it will admit it's a disaster because it 2213 02:11:53,220 --> 02:11:55,620 looks like their own found a website looks like the rats are 2214 02:11:55,620 --> 02:11:58,710 eating at it. And she she can't talk. Oh, this 2215 02:11:58,710 --> 02:12:02,340 John C Dvorak: is not good. This is white is no good. Of course 2216 02:12:02,340 --> 02:12:05,130 not. Do you see your hair? It looks like a nurse or something 2217 02:12:05,130 --> 02:12:08,190 she doesn't look or somebody should be locked up. She looks 2218 02:12:08,190 --> 02:12:09,630 like a mental patient. 2219 02:12:10,590 --> 02:12:13,650 Adam Curry: Yes, yes. You're right. It looks like a straight 2220 02:12:13,650 --> 02:12:17,640 jacket. Yeah. And she can't read. 2221 02:12:17,670 --> 02:12:20,370 Unknown: But the reason Donald Trump's looming. 2222 02:12:21,480 --> 02:12:23,460 Adam Curry: She can't even do it right away. 2223 02:12:23,699 --> 02:12:26,309 Unknown: But the recent news of Donald Trump's Trump's looming 2224 02:12:26,309 --> 02:12:30,239 indictment we've seen Trump's allies attack prosecutors in all 2225 02:12:30,239 --> 02:12:34,229 sorts of ways. But one attack in particular stood out to me and 2226 02:12:34,229 --> 02:12:34,439 she's 2227 02:12:34,439 --> 02:12:36,029 Adam Curry: moving her arms around 2228 02:12:36,029 --> 02:12:38,729 John C Dvorak: like she's told no, she's she's trying to fly 2229 02:12:38,759 --> 02:12:41,639 but she's trying to do in the elbow flap. Yes, 2230 02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:44,460 Adam Curry: she's trying to direct planes to the gate or 2231 02:12:44,460 --> 02:12:45,540 something. It's called on 2232 02:12:45,540 --> 02:12:49,260 Unknown: Thursday, Boris Epstein said that woke radical DA is in 2233 02:12:49,260 --> 02:12:51,870 New York and Atlanta are to blame for Trump's legal 2234 02:12:51,870 --> 02:12:55,860 problems. Yes, you heard that correctly. Woke DA is are to 2235 02:12:55,860 --> 02:12:56,430 blame here. 2236 02:12:56,460 --> 02:12:59,640 Adam Curry: This is the worst prompter read ever. She can't do 2237 02:12:59,640 --> 02:13:04,140 it. This is a mistake. They blew it. She's worse than Joy read. 2238 02:13:04,860 --> 02:13:06,420 She cannot read read. 2239 02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:09,030 John C Dvorak: Better than this. Yeah. So 2240 02:13:09,030 --> 02:13:11,880 Unknown: now because it seems that blaming woke politics for 2241 02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:15,810 problems, big and small, has become a one size fits all 2242 02:13:15,810 --> 02:13:19,020 response for Republicans lately. Take for example, the news this 2243 02:13:19,020 --> 02:13:22,500 past week of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the largest 2244 02:13:22,500 --> 02:13:25,620 bank failure since the 2008. Financial crisis. It was a big 2245 02:13:25,620 --> 02:13:28,320 deal. And it's a complicated issue, one that we could 2246 02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:32,040 probably devote an entire show to, but instead for some 2247 02:13:32,040 --> 02:13:35,580 Republicans the real problem had no connection at all to any 2248 02:13:35,580 --> 02:13:37,470 economic policies at all. 2249 02:13:39,180 --> 02:13:40,590 John C Dvorak: Oh, did she say at all? 2250 02:13:42,659 --> 02:13:44,849 Adam Curry: At all, this is horrible that the writing is 2251 02:13:44,849 --> 02:13:47,939 bad. She can't read the sentence she can get better. She can get 2252 02:13:47,939 --> 02:13:54,029 better with the prompter. But her she was the the schoolmarm 2253 02:13:54,029 --> 02:13:56,759 she was that I don't have to do that to you give her an 2254 02:13:56,759 --> 02:14:01,469 interview show do anything but this reading the prompter is non 2255 02:14:01,469 --> 02:14:03,779 welded. Of course, we're executives we know what we're 2256 02:14:03,779 --> 02:14:07,529 talking about. No one ever asked us for our opinion. 2257 02:14:09,659 --> 02:14:11,909 John C Dvorak: An interview show would have been ideal. Where she 2258 02:14:11,909 --> 02:14:12,149 can 2259 02:14:12,210 --> 02:14:16,080 Adam Curry: she can she can. I think she's very clear. 2260 02:14:16,080 --> 02:14:18,570 John C Dvorak: She's got the nasty kind of style that's 2261 02:14:18,570 --> 02:14:19,620 perfect for an interview. 2262 02:14:19,920 --> 02:14:23,100 Adam Curry: And with that you tie your hair back. That red 2263 02:14:23,100 --> 02:14:26,340 hair, you tie it the red hair is cool, but you got to tie it 2264 02:14:26,340 --> 02:14:30,480 back.

So she debuted 2328 02:17:34,859 --> 02:17:40,649 Well, debuted. Well, we'll see. I think I agree. I think people 2329 02:17:40,649 --> 02:17:44,309 were tuning in for the old show. That's why there was my old 2330 02:17:44,309 --> 02:17:44,789 show. 2331 02:17:46,260 --> 02:17:49,590 John C Dvorak: Huh? Well, she will carry it.

This is not good. 2338 02:18:14,760 --> 02:18:17,310 John C Dvorak: So the next thing starts happening is they bring 2339 02:18:17,310 --> 02:18:21,300 in some consultants. Oh, there we go. Moving her hours around. 2340 02:18:21,300 --> 02:18:27,660 If their hours change one times over. It's over.

I can't see her being friendly to the crew. 2363 02:19:43,050 --> 02:19:45,300 Adam Curry: Oh, you're so right. And that especially in cable. 2364 02:19:45,330 --> 02:19:46,170 That's key. 2365 02:19:47,040 --> 02:19:48,840 John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah.

I'm looking at right here on my 2369 02:19:53,640 --> 02:19:55,170 monitor. It looks directly 2370 02:19:57,030 --> 02:19:59,970 John C Dvorak: with the thumbs up. Okay, so 2371 02:20:02,639 --> 02:20:05,909 Adam Curry: That's exactly I used to. If they ever made a 2372 02:20:05,909 --> 02:20:08,579 good closeup of me we had two camera people Warren and 2373 02:20:08,579 --> 02:20:10,949 Celeste. They both passed away. Sadly, they were older than me. 2374 02:20:10,949 --> 02:20:14,759 But they they passed away kind of early, I felt I had a concept 2375 02:20:14,759 --> 02:20:17,459 called curry cache. And if they would make me look really good 2376 02:20:17,459 --> 02:20:20,849 with a shot or close up, I walk right after the segment of walk 2377 02:20:20,849 --> 02:20:24,749 right up, put $5 on top of that, on top of their lens carry cash. 2378 02:20:24,839 --> 02:20:29,489 Wow, I was idea it was well known.

Ah, okay. So there's a 2381 02:20:38,310 --> 02:20:42,180 couple of things going on around the world. And I would like to 2382 02:20:42,180 --> 02:20:45,600 highlight the first one which is France. This is the while this 2383 02:20:45,600 --> 02:20:47,670 report explains what I believe in Paris 2384 02:20:47,670 --> 02:20:50,160 Unknown: police have banned protests opposite their 2385 02:20:50,160 --> 02:20:53,550 country's parliament that comes following unrest triggered by 2386 02:20:53,550 --> 02:20:57,150 the government imposing a pension reform and bypassing a 2387 02:20:57,150 --> 02:21:00,630 vote on the issue. While that protest ballot stretches from 2388 02:21:00,630 --> 02:21:03,780 class Illa Concord and surroundings to parts of the SRA 2389 02:21:03,780 --> 02:21:07,710 zilis. A. opposition MPs have meanwhile, found two motions of 2390 02:21:07,770 --> 02:21:12,450 no confidence set to be debated in parliament on Monday they're 2391 02:21:12,450 --> 02:21:16,620 hoping to garner enough support to topple the cabinet and repeal 2392 02:21:16,980 --> 02:21:22,410 the law to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 2393 02:21:23,130 --> 02:21:26,580 Adam Curry: So this is the French the don't mess around. 2394 02:21:27,630 --> 02:21:30,660 And of course, the rest of the world is saying well what's up 2395 02:21:30,660 --> 02:21:36,000 with that you stupid frogs we're at 67 already are that yeah, are 2396 02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:40,560 they Yeah 67 I think now most of the world is 6567 But of course 2397 02:21:40,560 --> 02:21:45,480 this is there will be no money for retirement I'm sure there'll 2398 02:21:45,480 --> 02:21:48,840 be zero money leftover when I get there. And people are going 2399 02:21:48,840 --> 02:21:51,270 to take into the streets of friendship they don't stand for 2400 02:21:51,270 --> 02:21:54,030 this crap they don't like it now politically they have not been 2401 02:21:54,030 --> 02:21:58,500 able to do what needs to be done because there is a provision in 2402 02:21:58,500 --> 02:22:04,740 the in French law that you can bypass a parliamentary vote and 2403 02:22:04,740 --> 02:22:07,950 they can try and stop that is kind of like a veto from the 2404 02:22:07,950 --> 02:22:11,250 people. The first one failed I think the second one if it has 2405 02:22:11,250 --> 02:22:15,180 not already will fail as well. However, the French are quite 2406 02:22:15,180 --> 02:22:18,570 well known for not putting up with politicians and I'm going 2407 02:22:18,570 --> 02:22:21,360 to play this little clip because even though they cannot protest 2408 02:22:21,360 --> 02:22:26,400 outside of government, they are protesting in quite some maths 2409 02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:29,940 and I will play this see if you can hear what they're saying 2410 02:22:29,940 --> 02:22:30,300 here 2411 02:22:36,990 --> 02:22:42,090 there we go.

Oh, man. Oh, second. This was where 2426 02:23:33,630 --> 02:23:36,120 to get this from this might have been Deutsche Bella. 2427 02:23:36,150 --> 02:23:38,940 Unknown: Well, Israel's former spy master is speaking out 2428 02:23:38,940 --> 02:23:41,940 against the government's plans to overhaul the country's legal 2429 02:23:41,940 --> 02:23:45,450 system. Journalist IRS Mackler is covering this for us in 2430 02:23:45,450 --> 02:23:48,570 Jerusalem. So Eris, what did the ex spy master? So? 2431 02:23:48,840 --> 02:23:52,230 Yes, he emerged from the shadows and he wasn't comfortable. But 2432 02:23:52,230 --> 02:23:55,440 he said he was doing that in order to issue a stark warning, 2433 02:23:55,740 --> 02:23:59,670 these legal changes he says, I like nothing Israel has ever 2434 02:23:59,670 --> 02:24:03,510 seen before. It's a judicial coup which will lead Israel into 2435 02:24:03,510 --> 02:24:07,320 a dictatorship. Once he said that he went on to say that what 2436 02:24:07,320 --> 02:24:10,920 he fears is that will also bring about the collapse of Israel's 2437 02:24:10,920 --> 02:24:14,820 defense institution. That's the Shin Bet that he headed the 2438 02:24:14,820 --> 02:24:19,890 Mossad, even Israel's military, because once you change the 2439 02:24:19,890 --> 02:24:22,290 system, once it's a dictatorship, then he fears that 2440 02:24:22,290 --> 02:24:25,620 people simply want to won't defend it in the same way 2441 02:24:25,620 --> 02:24:29,430 because it's not the same flag, the flag of a dictatorship and 2442 02:24:29,550 --> 02:24:30,810 or a democracy. 2443 02:24:31,590 --> 02:24:34,260 Adam Curry: So we'd love to hear more from now I'm 2444 02:24:34,260 --> 02:24:36,510 John C Dvorak: gonna have this been going on for a while. 2445 02:24:36,510 --> 02:24:39,840 There's been a lot of protests over it, which is also the 2446 02:24:39,840 --> 02:24:44,640 Netanyahu wants to change some aspect. I don't know the details 2447 02:24:44,880 --> 02:24:49,230 of the judicial system, but mostly mostly the judges. He 2448 02:24:49,230 --> 02:24:52,020 wants to get rid of a bunch of Supreme Court judges and move 2449 02:24:52,020 --> 02:24:55,950 guys around. And everyone's bent out of shape about this. Now, I 2450 02:24:55,950 --> 02:24:58,560 don't know why I would like to somebody's got to give us a 2451 02:24:58,560 --> 02:25:02,070 briefing on this because we don't know Have the we don't 2452 02:25:02,070 --> 02:25:03,720 we're not getting the reports we need. 2453 02:25:04,140 --> 02:25:06,660 Adam Curry: And while we're while we're on that topic, 2454 02:25:06,660 --> 02:25:09,060 there's another thing that's been going on, which many of our 2455 02:25:09,060 --> 02:25:12,960 producers have reached out to us about. I'm pretty sure neither 2456 02:25:12,960 --> 02:25:17,400 of us understand it just yet. I do have a clip now this is about 2457 02:25:17,400 --> 02:25:22,680 what's going on with the Canadian CIA the CSIS how 2458 02:25:22,680 --> 02:25:27,240 they've been leaking certain information and the general 2459 02:25:27,450 --> 02:25:35,370 thinking is that Mk. Trudeau will not survive this. And I do 2460 02:25:35,370 --> 02:25:36,240 have a clip here 2461 02:25:36,300 --> 02:25:39,240 Unknown: in February 2021, Michael kovrig and Michael 2462 02:25:39,240 --> 02:25:43,170 spavor had been detained in a Chinese prison for nearly 800 2463 02:25:43,170 --> 02:25:47,280 days. But while they languished away, Ontario Liberal MP Han 2464 02:25:47,280 --> 02:25:51,420 Dong allegedly advised a top Chinese diplomat to hold off on 2465 02:25:51,420 --> 02:25:54,630 immediately freeing them to independent national security 2466 02:25:54,630 --> 02:25:58,020 sources have told global news that Dawn spoke with China's 2467 02:25:58,020 --> 02:25:59,310 consular general instinct 2468 02:25:59,310 --> 02:26:03,150 Adam Curry: that was the that was the Huawei lady who they who 2469 02:26:03,150 --> 02:26:06,360 they had locked up that's what that's about the Huawei error 2470 02:26:06,360 --> 02:26:06,510 they 2471 02:26:06,510 --> 02:26:08,640 John C Dvorak: had her and how she wasn't lost forever 2472 02:26:08,670 --> 02:26:10,530 Adam Curry: house arrest house arrest news 2473 02:26:10,770 --> 02:26:13,230 Unknown: that Don spoke with China's Consulate General in 2474 02:26:13,230 --> 02:26:17,790 Toronto Han Tao and suggested to him that a Beijing released the 2475 02:26:17,790 --> 02:26:21,600 two Michaels, then federal conservatives would benefit. How 2476 02:26:21,600 --> 02:26:25,530 exactly is not clear, Dong allegedly initiated the 2477 02:26:25,530 --> 02:26:28,680 discussion with the Consul General, where he also allegedly 2478 02:26:28,680 --> 02:26:31,830 recommended that Beijing offers some show of progress with the 2479 02:26:31,830 --> 02:26:35,370 two Michaels cases to help benefit the liberals, according 2480 02:26:35,370 --> 02:26:38,820 to the two sources, shown confirmed global news that the 2481 02:26:38,820 --> 02:26:41,850 conversation took place, but he denied he initiated the 2482 02:26:41,850 --> 02:26:44,670 discussion and says that he advocated for the two Michaels 2483 02:26:44,670 --> 02:26:48,150 to be set free. At every opportunity before they returned 2484 02:26:48,150 --> 02:26:51,930 home. I adamantly demanded their release to Canada without delays 2485 02:26:51,930 --> 02:26:55,350 at dawn. Any suggestions otherwise are false and our 2486 02:26:55,350 --> 02:26:59,610 attempts to mislead you, your readers and slander me? The two 2487 02:26:59,610 --> 02:27:02,070 Michaels had been jailed in apparent retribution for 2488 02:27:02,070 --> 02:27:05,730 Canada's detention of Huawei executive Mung Wong Jo, but at 2489 02:27:05,730 --> 02:27:09,000 the time of dongs conversation with the Chinese diplomat, the 2490 02:27:09,000 --> 02:27:12,060 prime minister had publicly been calling for their release. This 2491 02:27:12,060 --> 02:27:15,420 is an issue that is a top priority to his office says the 2492 02:27:15,420 --> 02:27:17,940 Prime Minister only learned of the conversation with the 2493 02:27:17,940 --> 02:27:22,020 Chinese envoy after Dong told PMO but Dong only informed the 2494 02:27:22,020 --> 02:27:24,690 Prime Minister's team after global news reached out for 2495 02:27:24,690 --> 02:27:29,220 comment as a Chinese Canadian, I am so proud. A national security 2496 02:27:29,220 --> 02:27:31,980 official told global news that by the time the alleged 2497 02:27:31,980 --> 02:27:36,030 conversation in February 2021 took place, CSIS had already 2498 02:27:36,030 --> 02:27:39,570 classified Dong as a close friend of the consulate based on 2499 02:27:39,570 --> 02:27:42,900 his history of calls, but they had also considered if Don was 2500 02:27:42,900 --> 02:27:45,450 acting as a back channel interlocutor between the 2501 02:27:45,450 --> 02:27:49,020 Canadian and Chinese governments. The PMO denied that 2502 02:27:49,020 --> 02:27:52,830 theory saying At no time was Mr. Dong ever used as a back 2503 02:27:52,830 --> 02:27:55,470 channel. Global News has not been able to independently 2504 02:27:55,470 --> 02:27:58,440 verify what was said in the communication between Dong and 2505 02:27:58,440 --> 02:28:01,410 the Consul General. We reached out to CSIS for comment on the 2506 02:28:01,410 --> 02:28:04,200 Dong conversation. A spokesperson for the agency said 2507 02:28:04,200 --> 02:28:07,320 they can neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the 2508 02:28:07,320 --> 02:28:07,920 information. 2509 02:28:08,220 --> 02:28:09,990 Adam Curry: Man Do you understand any of this? 2510 02:28:11,190 --> 02:28:13,860 John C Dvorak: No, but it brings me to some clips of maybe I 2511 02:28:13,860 --> 02:28:16,950 don't know if this would help at all but about the Canada 2512 02:28:17,220 --> 02:28:20,430 election rigging involving the Chinese 2513 02:28:20,460 --> 02:28:23,520 Adam Curry: Yeah, this is this is connected to it somehow. Got 2514 02:28:23,520 --> 02:28:23,580 to 2515 02:28:23,580 --> 02:28:26,010 John C Dvorak: be let's go with these clips just Canada election 2516 02:28:26,010 --> 02:28:26,460 rigging. 2517 02:28:27,300 --> 02:28:28,620 Adam Curry: election rigging 2518 02:28:28,650 --> 02:28:32,400 Unknown: as Ottawa looks into reports China tried to interfere 2519 02:28:32,400 --> 02:28:36,090 with Canadian elections. A new poll out tonight suggests those 2520 02:28:36,090 --> 02:28:39,450 reports have some Canadians worried about the state of our 2521 02:28:39,450 --> 02:28:42,270 electoral system. Here's Marina von Stackelberg 2522 02:28:42,300 --> 02:28:46,710 Justin Trudeau reelected with a minority government in 2021. An 2523 02:28:46,710 --> 02:28:50,040 election result accepted by all the federal party leaders 2524 02:28:50,070 --> 02:28:54,030 despite reports China tried to interfere and sway the results 2525 02:28:54,060 --> 02:28:55,170 in the Liberals favor. 2526 02:28:55,350 --> 02:28:58,350 So there is no question that yes, there was attempted 2527 02:28:58,350 --> 02:29:02,100 interference from Beijing into our electoral processes. We know 2528 02:29:02,100 --> 02:29:06,420 how important it is for Canadians to have confidence in 2529 02:29:06,420 --> 02:29:06,990 our system. 2530 02:29:07,020 --> 02:29:10,140 But according to a new poll from Malaysia, some Canadians are 2531 02:29:10,140 --> 02:29:14,700 worried about that system of more than 1500 polled last week. 2532 02:29:14,730 --> 02:29:20,130 71% said they feel the electoral system is safe. But 29% said 2533 02:29:20,160 --> 02:29:21,120 they do not. 2534 02:29:21,270 --> 02:29:24,750 I would say 1015 years ago I would not have dreamed of asking 2535 02:29:24,750 --> 02:29:27,570 the question it would sort of just a fait accompli that we 2536 02:29:27,570 --> 02:29:28,920 trust our electoral system. 2537 02:29:29,040 --> 02:29:33,420 The poll also asked about the last two elections. 33% believed 2538 02:29:33,420 --> 02:29:37,350 foreign interference greatly compromises the legitimacy of 2539 02:29:37,350 --> 02:29:40,800 the results. conservative supporters were more concerned 2540 02:29:41,040 --> 02:29:44,550 53% were worried the elections had been compromised. 2541 02:29:44,670 --> 02:29:47,670 Adam Curry: I think Canadians of all political backgrounds are 2542 02:29:47,670 --> 02:29:51,540 asking what has Justin Trudeau 2543 02:29:51,600 --> 02:29:53,040 Unknown: got to hide? 2544 02:29:53,130 --> 02:29:57,330 72% of all respondents want an independent inquiry into 2545 02:29:57,330 --> 02:29:59,970 allegations of foreign interference. Oh, 2546 02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:03,270 But trust, I think has been blown out of the water. It's 2547 02:30:03,270 --> 02:30:07,530 tragic that we need our electoral system to be strong 2548 02:30:07,770 --> 02:30:12,420 and to be appear to be strong. And so the work of this 2549 02:30:12,420 --> 02:30:16,170 reporter, or any public inquiry is going to have to be really 2550 02:30:16,170 --> 02:30:20,550 fast. We cannot go into the next election with all of these black 2551 02:30:20,550 --> 02:30:21,900 clouds hanging over us. 2552 02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:25,950 Adam Curry: Oh, I know what this is about. Of course. They want 2553 02:30:25,950 --> 02:30:31,350 to ban Tiktok. Makes nothing but sense. 2554 02:30:31,409 --> 02:30:33,689 John C Dvorak: The Canadians already banned Tik Tok. And, 2555 02:30:34,139 --> 02:30:37,829 again, I'll bring this up. I brought it up before they ban 2556 02:30:37,859 --> 02:30:41,009 these companies, countries and these governments are banning 2557 02:30:41,009 --> 02:30:46,409 tick tock on the official phones. Yeah, why is tick tock 2558 02:30:46,439 --> 02:30:51,779 or Facebook or Twitter or anything on a government phone 2559 02:30:51,809 --> 02:30:53,069 in the first place? Well, they 2560 02:30:53,070 --> 02:30:56,790 Adam Curry: need to get their porn. Hello. Yeah. Okay. Part 2561 02:30:56,790 --> 02:30:57,180 Two. 2562 02:30:57,300 --> 02:31:00,270 Unknown: Amidst all this, there's also concern from within 2563 02:31:00,270 --> 02:31:03,480 the Chinese Canadian community about racism and potential 2564 02:31:03,480 --> 02:31:06,960 backlash. And as Lisa Shing tells us, some say they've been 2565 02:31:06,960 --> 02:31:10,710 trying to warn authorities about Beijing's interference for 2566 02:31:10,710 --> 02:31:11,490 decades. 2567 02:31:11,579 --> 02:31:15,629 After almost 30 years of criticizing Beijing. Some Shira 2568 02:31:15,629 --> 02:31:18,809 says she's faced all kinds of harassment from the Chinese 2569 02:31:18,809 --> 02:31:19,439 government, 2570 02:31:19,890 --> 02:31:26,040 my cell phone number, or published online to the public 2571 02:31:26,370 --> 02:31:30,420 postings telling that I am offering sex service. 2572 02:31:31,980 --> 02:31:35,250 Attempts the journalist says Canadian authorities largely 2573 02:31:35,250 --> 02:31:37,890 ignored her warnings Beijing was harassing her 2574 02:31:37,920 --> 02:31:41,460 I kept silence for a long time, with 2575 02:31:41,460 --> 02:31:44,430 Ottawa announcing its investigating claims China 2576 02:31:44,430 --> 02:31:46,260 meddled in Canada's last two 2577 02:31:46,290 --> 02:31:49,680 elections. One Country Two Systems is a brief experiment 2578 02:31:49,710 --> 02:31:53,070 some vindication for those who say their warnings have largely 2579 02:31:53,070 --> 02:31:53,970 gone unheeded 2580 02:31:53,970 --> 02:31:57,660 until now. Well, better late than never thought you went 2581 02:31:57,930 --> 02:32:01,950 to China accuses some people in Canada of spreading lies that is 2582 02:32:01,950 --> 02:32:05,790 interfering in Canadian politics. While the pm defends 2583 02:32:05,820 --> 02:32:09,870 one of his own MP is accused of being involved. Allegations 2584 02:32:09,870 --> 02:32:13,710 Justin Trudeau has suggested have racial undertones. This 2585 02:32:13,710 --> 02:32:17,400 activist warns against focusing on race in the search for what 2586 02:32:17,430 --> 02:32:18,450 really happened. 2587 02:32:18,810 --> 02:32:23,340 I think first thing we need to be very sure about is that 2588 02:32:23,370 --> 02:32:28,470 racism is not being used as a shield to deflect from the real 2589 02:32:28,470 --> 02:32:29,340 issue at hand. 2590 02:32:29,550 --> 02:32:33,540 He says that means calling a public inquiry and creating a 2591 02:32:33,540 --> 02:32:37,110 foreign agent registry. But there's concern that done 2592 02:32:37,110 --> 02:32:41,280 without care that could lead to more attacks and accusations, 2593 02:32:41,400 --> 02:32:45,480 especially as anti Asian racism is on the rise as a result of 2594 02:32:45,480 --> 02:32:49,140 the pandemic and worsening relations between Canada and 2595 02:32:49,140 --> 02:32:49,710 China. 2596 02:32:49,740 --> 02:32:52,830 Adam Curry: Okay, here's what I'm expecting any day now. The 2597 02:32:52,830 --> 02:32:58,950 connection between the Wuhan and Canada Canadian researchers that 2598 02:32:58,950 --> 02:33:01,920 we know we kind of don't go back to that but in the very 2599 02:33:01,920 --> 02:33:05,310 beginning there was a lot of I remember this traveling back and 2600 02:33:05,310 --> 02:33:09,330 John C Dvorak: forth from Fort Dietrich to operation in Canada 2601 02:33:09,330 --> 02:33:13,830 and then went to Alberta. Yep, and then somehow ended up in 2602 02:33:13,830 --> 02:33:15,300 Wuhan this bullcrap. 2603 02:33:15,600 --> 02:33:18,090 Adam Curry: And then just mess with us they say that they 2604 02:33:18,090 --> 02:33:20,190 published my iPhone OS X phone 2605 02:33:21,300 --> 02:33:22,620 John C Dvorak: you know the other thing that's kind of 2606 02:33:22,620 --> 02:33:25,950 interesting is that this sudden creation of this anti Chinese 2607 02:33:25,950 --> 02:33:29,310 sentiment is great and I live in an area was like you know, we 2608 02:33:29,310 --> 02:33:29,610 got 2609 02:33:29,640 --> 02:33:31,530 Adam Curry: you go to the Chinese market all the time you 2610 02:33:31,530 --> 02:33:34,020 go to the Tron Chinatown, Chinese market all the time 2611 02:33:34,050 --> 02:33:38,070 John C Dvorak: is China. There's a lot of this. I think that the 2612 02:33:38,070 --> 02:33:42,450 red, the red to come into the CCP are the ones who instituted 2613 02:33:42,450 --> 02:33:45,600 this idea. So they can now point the finger like what you just 2614 02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:49,440 heard in that last clip where this as well. Oh, what a Troodos 2615 02:33:49,620 --> 02:33:53,880 stooges. Oh, this is racism, blaming the Chinese for this. 2616 02:33:54,420 --> 02:33:56,850 Getting getting ready. There was never any commentary about 2617 02:33:56,850 --> 02:34:01,770 racism regarding the Chinese before. All recent that's very 2618 02:34:01,770 --> 02:34:02,190 recent 2619 02:34:02,190 --> 02:34:05,700 Adam Curry: Canadians are not racist. That's all let's go to 2620 02:34:05,880 --> 02:34:08,220 John C Dvorak: final clip on this maybe learn some 2621 02:34:08,370 --> 02:34:12,960 Unknown: members of the Chinese community are quite worried 2622 02:34:12,960 --> 02:34:21,000 about people may somehow label them as medium or agents of the 2623 02:34:21,000 --> 02:34:23,520 Chinese government. As the investigations 2624 02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:26,520 continue. There are calls for that work to involve 2625 02:34:26,520 --> 02:34:30,750 consultations with the Chinese diaspora those who are after all 2626 02:34:30,780 --> 02:34:32,460 the targets of the interference 2627 02:34:33,510 --> 02:34:36,450 Adam Curry: you know, there's a podcast also a no agenda stream. 2628 02:34:36,960 --> 02:34:40,770 The millennial media offensive they're all over this. I think 2629 02:34:40,770 --> 02:34:42,000 they may be from Canadia 2630 02:34:43,500 --> 02:34:44,460 John C Dvorak: a good for them. Yeah. 2631 02:34:44,460 --> 02:34:46,920 Adam Curry: So let's let's get some details. Let's get some 2632 02:34:46,920 --> 02:34:50,010 info that we can understand because even the terminology is 2633 02:34:50,010 --> 02:34:53,160 just foreign to us. It's difficult. You know, when they 2634 02:34:53,160 --> 02:34:56,310 say the PMO Okay, the prime minister's office I get that but 2635 02:34:56,970 --> 02:34:59,970 there's just a lot of words that aren't the same and it's just it 2636 02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:02,700 It stinks. The whole thing stinks. And, and I agree, I 2637 02:35:02,700 --> 02:35:06,900 think we're looking at something that has to do with COVID has to 2638 02:35:06,900 --> 02:35:11,430 do with just China in general. Something's going on. 2639 02:35:12,840 --> 02:35:15,240 John C Dvorak: This funny stuff that I have to find kind of 2640 02:35:15,630 --> 02:35:19,620 offbeat clips. So far as Canada is concerned, I thought this was 2641 02:35:19,620 --> 02:35:23,190 funny. This is Canada. That clip is called Canada's scamming 2642 02:35:23,190 --> 02:35:24,060 immigrants. 2643 02:35:24,510 --> 02:35:27,450 Unknown: As Canada makes a big push to bring in more 2644 02:35:27,450 --> 02:35:30,360 immigrants, some are sending a warning tonight to would be 2645 02:35:30,360 --> 02:35:33,690 newcomers. Be careful who you choose to help you through the 2646 02:35:33,690 --> 02:35:37,740 process. Chris O'Neill Yeates introduces us to one woman now 2647 02:35:37,740 --> 02:35:42,030 out 10s of 1000s of dollars after hiring an agent not 2648 02:35:42,060 --> 02:35:45,450 actually authorized to provide immigration services. 2649 02:35:46,230 --> 02:35:52,650 Adam Curry: Good. Well done. Take their money. All right. 2650 02:35:52,890 --> 02:35:54,300 What was the other funny one? 2651 02:35:54,570 --> 02:35:56,790 John C Dvorak: Well, I don't know how funny this one is. But 2652 02:35:56,790 --> 02:36:02,190 this is the interesting ball is characteristic of the United 2653 02:36:02,190 --> 02:36:08,730 Nations. This is the CCP versus UNESCO. This is a NTD we've read 2654 02:36:08,730 --> 02:36:10,560 not going to hear this anywhere because 2655 02:36:11,100 --> 02:36:12,690 Adam Curry: good NTD exclusive. 2656 02:36:13,470 --> 02:36:15,510 John C Dvorak: I've never heard this story anywhere else. 2657 02:36:15,540 --> 02:36:18,300 Unknown: The United Nations agency dealing with education 2658 02:36:18,300 --> 02:36:21,720 and culture is under fire. It faces accusations of being 2659 02:36:21,720 --> 02:36:26,310 complicit in ongoing atrocities by the CCP against Uighurs and 2660 02:36:26,310 --> 02:36:29,340 their culture entities. Daniel Monahan has more. 2661 02:36:29,550 --> 02:36:33,660 A new report by the Uighur Human Rights Project says the CCP is 2662 02:36:33,660 --> 02:36:36,870 carrying out systematic actions against Uyghur culture and 2663 02:36:36,870 --> 02:36:39,870 heritage everything that gives the Uyghurs their unique 2664 02:36:39,870 --> 02:36:43,440 cultural identity. According to the report is being targeted by 2665 02:36:43,440 --> 02:36:47,640 the CCP that includes tradition, music, dance, religion, 2666 02:36:47,640 --> 02:36:51,780 language, poetry, and more. The CCP is also destroying mosques 2667 02:36:51,810 --> 02:36:55,230 and other religious sites and restricting the use of regional 2668 02:36:55,230 --> 02:36:59,190 languages. The report says this is part of a broader campaign of 2669 02:36:59,190 --> 02:37:02,880 genocide in the region of western China known as Shin Joan 2670 02:37:02,970 --> 02:37:05,790 UNESCO is the UN cultural agency that slough 2671 02:37:05,790 --> 02:37:07,920 Adam Curry: hold on Sorry, that was a weird edit. I want to hear 2672 02:37:07,920 --> 02:37:09,570 that again. But her campaign of 2673 02:37:09,570 --> 02:37:12,690 Unknown: genocide in the region of western China known as Shin 2674 02:37:12,690 --> 02:37:14,100 Jang, they just inserted 2675 02:37:14,100 --> 02:37:17,160 Adam Curry: that. Did you hear that? Like a whole different 2676 02:37:17,160 --> 02:37:20,730 voice just pops in like they had to end it not. Now. There's a 2677 02:37:20,730 --> 02:37:21,480 reason for that, I'm 2678 02:37:21,480 --> 02:37:25,950 Unknown: sure destroying mosques and restricting the use of 2679 02:37:25,950 --> 02:37:29,490 regional languages. The report says this is part of a broader 2680 02:37:29,490 --> 02:37:33,180 campaign of genocide in the region of western China known as 2681 02:37:33,180 --> 02:37:37,170 Shin Jang to UNESCO as the UN cultural agency that serves to 2682 02:37:37,170 --> 02:37:41,070 protect cultural heritage around the world. The report charges 2683 02:37:41,070 --> 02:37:44,700 UNESCO with remaining silent when it should speak up Peter 2684 02:37:44,700 --> 02:37:48,960 Irwin of the Uighur Human Rights Project asks Where is UNESCO and 2685 02:37:48,960 --> 02:37:51,660 the Chinese government is literally destroying the 2686 02:37:51,660 --> 02:37:55,530 identity and culture of good question. Irwin believes UNESCO 2687 02:37:55,530 --> 02:37:58,770 is refusing to speak out due to the funding it receives from 2688 02:37:58,770 --> 02:38:02,190 China. Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Council took the rare 2689 02:38:02,190 --> 02:38:06,030 step of voting down a motion to discuss human rights abuses by 2690 02:38:06,030 --> 02:38:09,120 China against wiegers in October of last year, 2691 02:38:09,330 --> 02:38:13,170 there can be no doubt about the gravity and the scale of what 2692 02:38:13,170 --> 02:38:13,890 has been reported 2693 02:38:13,890 --> 02:38:17,430 as shinjang. It was only the second time in the council 16 2694 02:38:17,430 --> 02:38:21,180 year history that emotion was rejected. The vote was seen as a 2695 02:38:21,180 --> 02:38:24,510 blow to the credibility of the United Nations itself. 2696 02:38:24,600 --> 02:38:28,320 No country no matter how powerful should be excluded from 2697 02:38:28,320 --> 02:38:29,520 Council discussions. 2698 02:38:29,760 --> 02:38:33,030 UNESCO continues to acknowledge the Chinese regime as the 2699 02:38:33,030 --> 02:38:36,900 protector of Uighur heritage in the region. Uighur Muslims are 2700 02:38:36,900 --> 02:38:40,050 among many groups that experts in human rights monitors they 2701 02:38:40,050 --> 02:38:44,280 are persecuted by the CCP. Other victims include practitioners of 2702 02:38:44,280 --> 02:38:47,250 Falun Gong, Christians, Tibetans and more. 2703 02:38:48,330 --> 02:38:51,420 Adam Curry: Wow, this definitely some stuff going on with China 2704 02:38:51,420 --> 02:38:52,530 and the rest of the world. 2705 02:38:52,950 --> 02:38:55,890 John C Dvorak: Here's what gets me about these Uighur reports. 2706 02:38:56,700 --> 02:39:02,610 The Uyghurs are Muslims. The Muslims have what they call it 2707 02:39:02,610 --> 02:39:07,950 so far as their universal brotherhood is an ummah, which 2708 02:39:07,950 --> 02:39:12,750 is the world of Muslims. And they usually stick up for each 2709 02:39:12,750 --> 02:39:18,000 other in a very aggressive way. And it seems to me that why were 2710 02:39:18,000 --> 02:39:22,380 Saudi Arabia in this situation where they get to move a lot of 2711 02:39:22,410 --> 02:39:26,460 oil control of who gets what, where's the where's the Muslims 2712 02:39:26,460 --> 02:39:29,940 in India that are that are affected by this because it 2713 02:39:29,940 --> 02:39:33,750 affects the Ummah, where are the Muslims of the Middle East and 2714 02:39:33,750 --> 02:39:36,930 involved with China where the Chinese have just did a deal 2715 02:39:36,930 --> 02:39:41,250 with Saudi Arabia with Iran? Yeah, they will words they're 2716 02:39:41,250 --> 02:39:44,580 complaining about this decade, decades of fighting me where the 2717 02:39:44,580 --> 02:39:48,840 Muslim community as a whole regarding these Uyghurs, they if 2718 02:39:48,870 --> 02:39:50,430 you hear nothing from them, 2719 02:39:50,460 --> 02:39:54,240 Adam Curry: how about this? It's all about the money. It always 2720 02:39:54,240 --> 02:39:59,130 is. China is is you know, now that we are clearly we are 2721 02:39:59,130 --> 02:40:03,210 destroying the Petrodollar from the inside out by removing the 2722 02:40:03,210 --> 02:40:06,720 petro part.

How about that? 2727 02:40:25,860 --> 02:40:28,260 John C Dvorak: Well, that's one possibility, because I can't 2728 02:40:28,350 --> 02:40:31,140 think of anything else that none of this makes any sense. 2729 02:40:31,919 --> 02:40:34,679 Unknown: I'm going to show my mood by donating to no agenda. 2730 02:40:34,769 --> 02:40:37,529 Imagine all the people who could do that.
