John C Dvorak: I'm aghast. Oh get gambling.
Adam Curry: Adam curry Jhansi Devorah on a march 3 2024 This
Year Award winning nation media assassination episode 1639.
Unknown: This is no agenda.
Adam Curry: Antivirus for your mind and broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA
Region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
John C Dvorak: in from Northern Silicon Valley where we're
celebrating Women's History Month. And Johnson.
Adam Curry: Hill. I have not noticed much of this celebratory
month.
John C Dvorak: Have you? Well, it just started by No, but
Adam Curry: it's just it's three days in and I haven't noticed
anything this is this is weird. That's weird, huh? Yeah. Oh,
John C Dvorak: well, no. Wait, history events that took place
there was the interview with Tucker Carlson.
Adam Curry: So please, that how about this? How about this,
there is a 75th anniversary celebration of your show of
democracy of democracy with Amy Goodman. It's KPFA KPFA 75 years
of building community trust. It's in Berkeley right in your
backyard. You can go hang with Amy. Michelle, you want tickets?
John C Dvorak: 75 years of subversive programming over the
air. They kept their license hey,
Adam Curry: I can get you tickets would you like tickets
ticket? Just 25 bucks for tickets and you can hang out you
can rub shoulders with Amy Goodman. Yeah, yeah, baby. Yeah,
baby. Hey, I got a I mean, something beautiful happened.
And it's one of those things where it's like something cool
happens. And then you look at what happened and then all of a
sudden, you find out it was all a setup.
John C Dvorak: mean like every other thing that we discuss?
Yeah, yeah, true.
Adam Curry: But this one is very interesting. This is the German
air force top brass.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah. On
Adam Curry: a it's amazing how it happens. You thought it only
happened to Victoria Nuland. Now the famous FTE you call. But
there's some more details have come out about this wiretap as
the German air force top brass was talking about bombing
bombing stuff. The German
Unknown: government says Russia wiretapped a conversation
between German air force generals about the war in
Ukraine. The officers are discussing Ukrainian forces
using a German made a torus cruise missiles to attack the
bridge link in Crimea to Russia. And Germany has so far refused
to supply cube with the long range weapons. The defense
ministry in Berlin has also now confirmed that the conversation
which surfaced on social media was tapped. Chancellor Olaf
Scholz swift clarification for the recording,
what is being reported is very serious. That's why it is
necessary to begin a very thorough, intensive and rapid
investigation, not finish.
Alexandra. This seems like a real embarrassment for Berlin.
Have we heard any further reaction from Chancellor
Schultz? No
love shows more cool here in the room. We just got this one
statement on the metro statement in which the German Chancellor
stressed that this this is a serious matter that is being
investigated, but then he went on with his program here in
Rome. But of course, we know that he also knows that he is
facing uncomfortable questions at home, especially when it
comes through that this conversation among high ranking
German officers was conducted not on a secret internal army
network but on the WebEx platform, despite repeated
warnings by Germany's intelligence services, that
Russia uses Aska espionage and sabotage as part of its hybrid
war. And we are already hearing from lawmakers in Germany from
lawmakers in the opposition but also from members of the
coalition that
Adam Curry: blah blah you're okay. I'm sorry. You're bored
I'm sorry you're by no
John C Dvorak: I'm bored but I'm Yeah, bit but that's not the
point. I think you should have said this clip up because I
don't think a lot of people know what you're talking about.
Adam Curry: You're kidding me? No. Well, I just I set the clip
up. I said there was to
John C Dvorak: the extent that I think it shouldn't be set up
which is, you know, what were these guys talking about? Well,
no,
Adam Curry: no, no, wait, wait. I'm doing with you in the other
order. Because This is the only news people are getting. The
only news people are getting his hold. There was a leaked call on
the WebEx now. Thank you. Now we need to talk about what they
were talking about, which was blowing up the bridge that goes
to Crimea, and using Taris missiles for that, talking about
their already being British boots on the ground American
boots on the ground. And now we continue with the next clip. In
his
Unknown: speech at the Congress of the European Socialists in
Rome, he once again said he doesn't want to see boots on the
ground in Ukraine, that everything needs to be done to
prevent a war between Russia and NATO. However, we also have to
say that the argument that was put forward by the German
government why they're not willing or not willing to send
the terrorists a cruise missile to recruit Ukraine, the argument
was that for that there would need to be German soldiers on
the ground in Ukraine. And during this tap conversation, we
learned that actually, that is not justified that don't need to
be German soldiers on the ground. So we'll see how the
discussion is going to be led in the long term. But in the short
term, I don't think that the German Chancellor is going to
change his mind on that.
Adam Curry: Now remember, just earlier this week, the
chancellor Schultz came out and said, No, no, we're not going to
send any tourists missiles. We're not doing that. We're not
going to be a part of that, because we don't want Germany,
you know, fighting a war with Russia. And this is the
interesting part. This vid this call came out on social media.
Deutsche Chevelle is the first one, as far as I know, that had
it in mainstream media. And the narrative is continuously the
Russians. The Russians did it. The Russians leaked it.
Unknown: So what could be Russia's aim in publishing this
kind of sensitive intelligence and doing it now?
I would say it's two aims. The first one is to signal to the
German government and German Army leadership that there are
knows what is being debated on klasik meetings. So Ross has
over the kind of access to these talks, and can take them and can
publish them in general. And the second one is, the Russia wants
to Germany to make Germany Think twice before delivering cruise
missiles like ours to the Ukraine or delivering any other
kind of heavy weapons to the Ukraine. Because the question
is, how far can Germany go? And how far wants Germany go in
supporting Ukraine without without becoming a part of this
war?
Adam Curry: Because, listen, if Russia has not claimed anything,
they have not said that they they tap this and they put this
out. And in fact, I don't think they did. I think this is the
military industrial complex. signaling to Schultz, dude, yes,
you will. We need purchases. You need to buy Taurus missiles. We
need those in the fields. You need to get the Hello, we're
looking for your order. We're looking for more orders. Because
on Wednesday, Deutsche Avella same network that has this, you
know, oh, the Russians. Oh, that's what this this whole boy
WebEx, the same. Deutsche Avella interviewed Ben Hodges for 20
minutes, who lives in Germany. Now, just as an aside, he used
to be the Allied Commander for the US in Europe. And he had
some very interesting things to say about her Shultz Secretary
Unknown: General Stoltenberg superb Admiral Bauer, the
chairman and Military Committee, superb general Cobolli Supreme
Allied Commander, superb, but the nations do seem disjointed.
And I think to be candid, unfortunately, the German buenas
casler Seems the one that is the most out of step. Everybody
John C Dvorak: back did he say canceller or chancellor?
Unknown: Let me say and I think to be candid, unfortunately, the
German one does Kessler
Adam Curry: Well, he's saying he lives there. So it's constantly
here in German so we're saying Canceler because you know this
like when Madonna lived in London for a while and and she
would have that phony accent but it does come out as Canceler
which is kind of funny. But unfortunately, he's not on
board. Remember this is before this call was leaked and
Unknown: did unfortunately the German buenas Kasler seems the
one that is the most out of step with everybody else. It must be
really painful for him to be having to do things he's doing
now, providing aid to Ukraine, building out the bonus fare,
different from what he ever imagined he would be doing when
he was a younger, Polish isn't, so we have to teach him a
lesson. But it's essential. I mean, Germany, the most
prosperous, richest country in Europe, the massive industrial
capacity has got to help guide. Otherwise, if Ukraine fails,
we're going to be in a terrible conflict with Russia in Europe,
and Germany is going to pay a massive price.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you this, this, listen to this,
listen carefully what he's saying. The Military Industrial
Complex leak this call to send a message to Schultz, but
Unknown: the thing they always wanted to avoid is coming back.
But
we have to be fair with German Chancellor, Titan vendor data
and they're really like, increasing the spending in the
military budget. Absolutely.
That's, that's what's so confusing. Is because two years
ago, it was like, you know, exciting than the 100 billion
euros. And then even the other day, yeah,
Adam Curry: two years ago, he was all on board. He was like,
Yeah, we're gonna send you 100 billion euros. We're buying all
this is confusing. He needs a little prompting, I think,
Unknown: you know, he's out there breaking ground for an
ammunition factory. Now another thing I'm sure he never imagined
he would do. These are all good positive steps. Germany agreeing
to a brigade the regatta Talon by 2020 So these are very
powerful, strong signals. But then on the other hand here in
just the last few days, he's undone damage, this sense of
Germany really leaning forward with the almost panicky
statement like we're not going to put troops on the ground and
the absolute refusal to provide tourists I mean very very
clearly no way we're going to do that which I think is
unfortunate because that would really be helpful to Ukraine. We
have this
Adam Curry: to make you comply shots I'm telling you we did
this
John C Dvorak: we did the American argue that we did I'm
pretty sure we did this oh yeah, but it's Russia Russia bull crap
about oh don't use WebEx because our intelligence services they
not do but they did it anyway. Oh, the way things go it's the
best if you're told by the intelligence groups not to use
WebEx you don't go off with a phone call like this on WebEx.
Adam Curry: No of course not. And it was really Cavalier these
guys
John C Dvorak: to you also did my our Deutsche Vala is a we've
determined is a outlet for the CIA's voice
Adam Curry: voice of reason.
John C Dvorak: It says it's a speakerphone for the CIA
whatever they do is suspect dude
Adam Curry: we were we were tapping angles we were tapping
angle of Merkel's phone during Obama. Command Germany Get with
it. Now this this all this was was oh, I'm sorry Sheltie and
you're not hearing anything about the content of the
message. Now all you're hearing is yeah, you It's unfortunate.
You don't want to use the stars missile. These are great. i What
is it? What is one of these Taurus missiles costs? What's
one Taurus pop? This is all it's also so sneaky. Look it up. I
mean, war is all wars about is just money, money, money, money,
money, money, money, money, money. We're now printing money
at the rate of what was it? $1 trillion, about every 100 days.
To what I'm hearing, have you heard this is just a meme. Oh,
this is from CNBC. The US national debt is rising by 1
trillion about every 100 days. That's three months. Now, so and
what and what are we? Why are we printing it to buy stuff for
Ukraine? Which Don't worry everybody. It goes right here in
America. Someone actually gave me said, Who was this, Eric, he
said a couple of times recently that somehow the government is
propping up the US economy by sending money to Ukraine. And
it's absolutely true. The way you calculate GDP and economics
is by adding up consumer spending, government spending
domestic investment, basically capital expenditures by
corporations and net exports. So when we hand buckets of cash to
the military industrial complex, it increases government
spending. And when they decide to upgrade or build a new
factory, it increases domestic investment by printing money and
handing it to military contractors. The GDP goes up.
Does that sound right to you? Yeah, well, there it is.
John C Dvorak: The missiles cost a million. That's all Yeah,
they're cheap.
Adam Curry: What but that's, that's wholesale. What do we
what are we selling for retail? That's only a million bucks.
Nah, yeah.
John C Dvorak: Oh, wow. I'm surprised
Adam Curry: by that. They need to order a whole A bunch.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, I'd
Adam Curry: say 1000 1000 1000 100 100 1000s of
missiles. Nah, man, this is skies.
John C Dvorak: I get to screw loose once you get to the word.
Yeah. How come there's all this talk at no talk about going to
the negotiating table?
Adam Curry: Well, that will be wrong. Oh, well, we have. Let's
see. Let's, I mean, they're so desperate right now. Anderson
360s. Like, what can we do? Let's bring out Garry Kasparov.
Let's bring out the chess guy. That makes sense. Does
John C Dvorak: anyone bringing him out for anything ever? He's
just a complainer. Here he is in a position where Ukraine
artillery in the counter offensive we're firing. I think
it was, you know, at shells a day. Now there can only fire
about 10 because they just don't have because Republicans in
Congress here
Unknown: over time, and again,
Adam Curry: they went from there was 20. And now it's 10. I mean,
this thing is having quicker than Bitcoin. Oh,
Unknown: the GDP of the of the NATO countries versus Russia,
Iran, North Korea this this this coalition of Maxim's of evil is
25 to one who cares if Russia again can confer six, seven
times more shells. I mean, notice that Ukraine as North
Korea provided more shells to Russia than the entire Europe.
You tell me this is the disposition a serious Ukrainians
are bleeding, you know, defending their country freedom
later. And also they trying to stop this this this money. And
and the free world is still contemplating how we can deal
with that. And Putin. Look at him a couple of days ago, Jesus,
he delivered his he's a speech. And he was happy and always
talks about oh, let's wait for Russian people to rise. Not only
tried, he tried to show that something could be done in
Russia. It was I'm not sure it was politically smooth. But you
cannot criticize acts of personal Harry's he paid with
his life that he was murdered putting had to pay $300 billion
of Russian money frozen. Where is President Biden?
Adam Curry: There you go. What are you waiting for Biden take
the money 300 billion take the money. That's why Garry Kasparov
is there. Get that 300 billion get it? By the way, I found out
that was Alinsky is no longer officially President of Ukraine
but they didn't have elections his the term is up and there's
no provision in the Ukrainian constitution or whatever they
have that automatically extends his his power so he actually he
can't really even sign a peace treaty he's not officially the
President just as a little side note there
John C Dvorak: yeah, this is what do you call it a scam? No.
fine print No, it is a technicality.
Adam Curry: There's no there is no fine print. It's no fun for
the
John C Dvorak: gallery. He's still signed the thing and
nobody would say anything. I don't know what they're gonna
make. They're not negotiating they're not talking about
negotiating. It's not even brought up by anybody even in
the news media. Nobody says anything about it.
Adam Curry: No, because that's otherwise our economy collapses
unless we can start a new war now I think we're gonna do
Hezbollah but this tiny to Israel thing is tiny Hezbollah's
tiny. You know, Ukraine is just too much of a bonanza. I don't
see how they can ever replace it. Unless unless we go Iran but
we we need many tanks and this is what they like. Tanks and
missiles and lots of balls. Schools. Yeah. Old school stuff.
Yeah, they don't they don't want to have something like nuclear
wars. No good.
Unknown: It's no good. Yeah, it'd
John C Dvorak: be okay for the rebuilding. Yeah, but you get
the real cleanup crews. People
Adam Curry: you should read the diary was a diary of an economic
hitman diary. Diary of an economic hitman fishing. Yeah,
Confessions of an economic hitman, the original version,
not not the reprints not the updated version, John Perkins
and explains exactly how this goes. And the rebuilding of
Ukraine is already starting. They're already starting in
Kyiv. Now, that's what some of the European moneys for. I mean,
while Putin of course, gave his annual State of the Union
address as covered by the BBC,
Unknown: Vladimir Putin has been given his State of the Nation
Address. He talked about the risks of a nuclear war and said
the West provoked the war in Ukraine. And we'll hear that in
a moment. First, let's take a look at some of the claims he
made. He said Russia is gaining territory in what he insisted
was a defensive operation in Ukraine. He thanked members of
the armed forces fighting in Ukraine and their families at
home, but he didn't mention what it might tape for Russia to end
its military action in Ukraine. And nor did he touch on what's
been happening to his political rivals like the opposition
leader Alexei Navalny, while part of me and Putin had this
message for Western countries supporting Ukraine's military
as a separate afternoon, they are talking about sending NATO
military contingents to Ukraine. But we can recall what happened
to those who used to send their contingents to our country, the
consequences for these potential intruders will be much more
tragic now.
They need to finally understand that we too, have weapons and
they know that I have just mentioned we to have weapons
that can strike targets on their territory, and everything that
they're thinking of now everything that they used to
threaten us on the world. That's all this is a real threat of
nuclear weapons being used which spell destruction of
civilization.
Adam Curry: Happy Times happy times blood. Why isn't he dead
from cancer? Why isn't he dead from partners, other
John C Dvorak: ailments? Whatever else he had, supposedly
had, yeah. So then maybe as I know there are body doubles of
him because they've been seen in the wild. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So then there was Alexina volleys funeral in
Moscow, which was attended by 1000s of people. Deutsche Vela
had France 24 headed, but CNN Oh no,
Unknown: we were supposed to have CNN is Matthew Chance at
the site of new volunteers funeral service. However, his
signal appears to be blocked. Oh no. CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL
CORRESPONDENT Clarissa Ward is joining us now from London.
Clarissa we were able to have Matthew talk with us a little
bit earlier on in the show show us some of those crowds outside
the funeral. I mean, the world is watching. What are you
watching today?
Adam Curry: Yes. What are you watching?
Unknown: Well, at the moment, we're not able to watch the
worry much because as you say it appears that that live signal
has been jammed. Oh yeah. actuation facing the volleys
team.
Adam Curry: This is this is the new glitch. The signal is being
jammed, who
Unknown: had also been putting out a live signal from the
church.
Adam Curry: It was live streamed on Facebook today is as much
Unknown: about who is not there as who is there. Who is not
there is Alexei Navalny, his daughter, Dasha, his son, as a
HAR and his wife, Yulia and Ivana who has been speaking
publicly and boldly against President Putin, since her
husband was killed. She just addressed the European
Parliament. A few days ago, she met with President Biden, in San
Francisco while she was visiting her daughter, oh, last week, who
is a student at Stanford University. And she has
indicated that she is really going to take the mantle as it
were, as you know, a leading force in Russia's opposition,
but very telling that she is not there today. And of course, one
can only presume just how dangerous it would be for her to
even attempt to go back to Russia at this stage.
Adam Curry: This is so this whole report is just bullcrap.
There was no signal jamming you stuff doesn't work CNN, why
can't she go back? Is it? Is she on the hit list? Or did she ever
scheduling conflict? That makes no sense that she can't go back
for the funeral. I mean, they're not actually
John C Dvorak: this funeral. Such a big deal to any Americans
whatsoever. Because it's a body in the world was so involved not
only was a minor character. Yeah,
Adam Curry: but you don't understand media.
John C Dvorak: I understand media.
Adam Curry: There's the quote everybody. Well, that's it. It's
to make it all scary. Extra extra scary. Ah, yeah. Well, no
worries. Everybody is not going to be a nuclear war. But there
will be more cool stuff that we need to get into Ukraine. And
Schultz will buy. He will buy. He's got to
John C Dvorak: foregone conclusion. Well, I don't think
blowing up that bridge is going to be a good idea. Does that
kind of blow up the bridge? The channel, but that's what they
keep talking about? Well, they
Adam Curry: already tried that.
John C Dvorak: No, no. Yeah, that didn't work out either. But
Adam Curry: they're not sincere about it. That's what I mean.
It's like if they really wanted to blow up the bridge, it would
have blown up the bridge.
John C Dvorak: Well, you listen to the thing and you can
understand German and you yourself said that it was it was
Cavalier in the way it was done. And I'm thinking they're just
reading from a script for the purposes of getting it on tape.
Yeah, possibly. They can roll out the whole thing and make it
big fuss.
Adam Curry: It's amazing how much English words they use. I'm
always surprised by that when I go to the Netherlands, how much
English is infused into the language? You know, they're
talking about Qt, you know, like, and QA and quality
assurance and quality testing. Yeah, yeah. And I think even
said, but one of the I think even once it boots on the
ground, I mean, it's, it's ridiculous that you're listening
to our show. Oh, there you go. And the whole thing is
ridiculous. It's just the prop up the world. They need to get
Trump in real quick. Trump loves to buy military stuff. He
doesn't like war, which is good. Trump's even better. He gets all
the spending without the killing.
John C Dvorak: I mean, they she does he does, that's actually a
skill. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's a benefit. I'm all on board with that. We'll
give everybody jobs, build up your arsenal, and stop killing,
that would be great.
John C Dvorak: too, so I collected some clips from and
the reason for a couple of reasons that Tucker was on Lex
Friedman, talking about Russia and as a Russia stuff is
Adam Curry: it's very interesting that you that you
clip this, I'm surprised it's interesting
John C Dvorak: to meet you. But the clips I have are not what
you'd expect, okay. They're mostly screwball clips. But the
thing is, when
Adam Curry: we talk about wizman first for a second, where he
comes from, why is he all of a sudden, the guy
John C Dvorak: I wanted to before you'd say that? I want to
say you said I believe it was about Lex Freeman some months
back, that he would be he was moving in on the hegemony of Joe
Rogan's long form, interview style. Yes. And that was who you
were talking about, right? Lex Friedman? Yes, correct. Well,
I've never seen him before. Well, he just somehow he
Adam Curry: just appeared on. I looked it up because he suddenly
just appeared on the scene in 2018. Right,
John C Dvorak: doing long form interviews with extremely high
profile people. Yes. Which is not something you can just do
well,
Adam Curry: here. Here's what gave him his rise to prominence.
He co authored a non peer reviewed study, which concluded
that drivers he was he worked at MIT and the autonomous driving
department. The study non peer reviewed study that concluded
that drivers remained focused while using Tesla's semi
autonomous system. And then he got boosted by Elon Musk. So I
think that's how he rose to prominence is Elon started
boosting him? Which is in itself interesting. And then all of a
sudden he's getting it. He's Joe Rogan was on his show, Joe Rogan
brought him like a $10,000 watch as a gift, which I found
interesting. But yes,
John C Dvorak: yeah, Joe July.
Adam Curry: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I'm, I don't
know if it was $10,000. But it looked like a pretty expensive
watch. And I thought that was odd. That that's very odd at the
time with
John C Dvorak: a guy, okay, a couple of things. And so far is
competing with Joe Rogan. He has no charisma at all.
Adam Curry: He has the corrosive charisma of a man and black. I
mean, that's literally like from from The Matrix movie. That's
what he looks like. That's a charisma. He has nothing more,
nothing less.
John C Dvorak: He has a pile of papers that Deadwood that would
compete with Jen Sakis pile of papers when she was press
secretary. Yeah. That he goes through so the questions are
prepared, Rogen is used as the kind of I would say Rogan is
closer to Larry King in the way he does interviews. According to
Adam Curry: goat in the troll room. Joe and Lex had been
friends for close to a decade. Really? Okay, well, how
John C Dvorak: did they become friends?
Adam Curry: I don't know. By decade. That's a long time a
decade. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: consider ones from MIT and did studies on
autonomous driving the other guy's a Hollywood guy. Okay,
that's pretty obscure. Okay, well, whatever the case, so he
will keep an eye on him. Yeah. So there was some interesting
stuff that was in this interview with Tucker. And Tucker is an
easy guy, obviously an easy guy to interview because he's like a
woman. He can talk forever. Yes. So let's let's so I had a few
cute ones here that were I got four short clips that I thought
were interesting. And let's start with we can even skip the
num all new one if you want. Whatever you want. It's up to
you. Let's go with Jed Tucker on on lawyers. This was
interesting.
Unknown: My lawyers before I left and these are people work
for a big law firm. This is not Bob's law firm. This is one of
the biggest law firms in the world. My lawyer Bob is insulted
Tucker said you're gonna get arrested if You do this by the
US government on sanctions violations? And I said, why? You
know, I don't I don't recognize the legitimacy of that,
actually, because I'm American. And I've lived here my whole
life. And that's so outrageous that I'm happy to face that,
that risk, because I shall reject the premise. Okay, I'm an
American, I shall talk to anyone I want to and I plan to exercise
that freedom, which I think I was born with. I gave him this
long, long lecture. They're like, what does lawyers but that
was, um, it was of me put it this way. I don't know how much
you dealt with lawyers. But it costs many 1000s of dollars to
get a conclusion like that. Like they sent a whole bunch of their
summer associates or whatever they said, they put a lot of
people on this question, checked a lot of precedent. And I think
and they sent me a 10 page memo on it. And their sincere
conclusion was, do not do this. And of course, it made me mad.
So I was lecturing on the phone. And I had another call with the
head lawyer, and he said, Look, a lot will depend on the
questions that you ask Putin. If you're seen as too nice to him,
you could get arrested when you come back. And I was like,
you're describing a fascist country. Okay. You're saying
that the US government will arrest me if I don't ask the
questions they want to ask is, that's what you're saying? Well,
we just think, based on what's happened, that that's possible.
And so I'm just telling you what happened. So
you were okay, being arrested in Moscow? That was arrested? And
I didn't think that for a second. I mean, maybe look, I
don't speak Russian, I'd never been there before. Everything
about the culture was brand new to me. You know, ignorance does
protect you sort of when you have no freaking idea what's
going on, you're not worried about it like this happen to me
many times. There's a principle there that extends throughout
life. So it's completely possible that I was in grave
peril and didn't know it. Because, like, how would I know
it? You know, I'm like a bumbling English speaker from
California.
Adam Curry: That's interesting. He's never been to Russia. I
John C Dvorak: thought it was a lot that was interesting in that
but yet you there's a guy. I know. I felt
Adam Curry: the same. And I've been to Russia. You've been?
You've been to Russia. We're kind
John C Dvorak: of Russia before the fall of communism. Jews
Adam Curry: were like semi? Yes, I was there an 8889. We're semi
worldly guys. But we're no Tucker Carlson.
John C Dvorak: I'm always surprised by guys like Tucker
Carlson at that pinnacle that he sits on, has done things like
never been to Russia. It seems like if you're going to be
Tucker Carlson, you have been to Russia more than one you would
think so. Yeah. So this was his first trip. So he was
flabbergasted when he went, so he never got to see what you got
to see. I got to see. For example, before the fall of
communism, the GM store the G um, department store, which was
this giant monstrosity of a the world's supposedly the world's
first department store that had absolutely nothing for sale. My
Adam Curry: favorite was when we did the Moscow music Peace
Festival. We had this huge 15 Camera truck from Cinna video in
Holland who drove there and and before everything went up to the
to the uplink the satellite uplink, it went into this gray
bus with curtains, which literally had the size of a
Volkswagen bus. And that supposedly was the KGB, who were
there monitoring the signal. It was hilarious. I was picking up
the phone I had a 212 area code dial tone from the Westwood one
truck. And these guys were sitting in this little VW bus
gray with drawn curtains. It was nothing it was it was it was
shambles. shambles, I tell you, and the only thing that was
really cool was the Moscow Hells Angels that we met at three in
the morning. Wow. Yeah. Who apparently could just roam
around and do whatever they wanted. I
John C Dvorak: should write a book about that. The you should
and I think the we have a publisher gave you publishing.
Adam Curry: Do you have a ghost writer though as the questions
you have. You can write I can't write I've tried this so many
times. I fail. I fail at writing I'm a I'm a I'm a verbal
communicator
John C Dvorak: mean is pitching me but not plugging the Aigues
book
Adam Curry: I told him to I told her to she called me
John C Dvorak: to the website get a free PDF just limit up we
have by the way. We have no agenda finally you think that
took forever? The vinegar book?
Adam Curry: We're waiting for that. Yeah. Where's the what do
we have no agenda what? The
John C Dvorak: no agenda primer the ABCs book that Jay worked on
when she was in high school.
Adam Curry: That's a book.
John C Dvorak: Don't you remember
Adam Curry: is it done? is so long ago has isn't isn't for
sale.
John C Dvorak: It's going to be she's going to the printer so
it'll be coming out. We have another website the gate view
publishing.com which will have that oh, this is the idea for
that but you know you want to get to buy the book now. Kids
book. We don't know how to price it. Ask Adam she says she wants
to price it for $30 No. 30 Henry version 33 cents I said no.
Adam Curry: Yes. 3333 it will sell like hotcakes.
John C Dvorak: The kids book, Hey,
Adam Curry: my friend Ross and Marielle they just had a kid,
too. This morning Roman is born, I will buy a $33.33 cent kid's
book for Roman.
John C Dvorak: Well, I was hoping to get some. Thanks.
Well,
Adam Curry: you wanted more? You want to charge more? No, I think
I think it's a great item. And oh, man, and we'll all sign it.
John C Dvorak: Okay. Well, for the for 3333. You better sign
Adam Curry: exit strategy, kids books, who would have thought?
John C Dvorak: So the other thing about the this this
particular piece was the idea that a top law firm would tell
you not to go to Russia to interview Putin as a journalist.
Well, I have speakers might get arrested when you come back.
What kind of lawyers are
Adam Curry: now this so there's something else there's something
going on here with a prominent person in Fredericksburg, I'm
not going to mention it. But that but the Department of
Justice is going after this person to an incredible degree.
I talked to this person regularly. And we already know
who it is. And it's trumped up No, we haven't discussed it on
the show. And you know why? And it's quote unquote, trumped up
charges. That should give you a clue. And the lawyers is these.
It's unbelievable to me what they're doing. I'm like, dude,
they're just making up work here. And that just scaring you
into stuff. You have nothing to fear. They just scaring this
person into, oh, well, they could this could happen or that
can happen. And like, what? It's It's incredible how bad in
general, the legal profession has become. And it's millions of
dollars. Millions.
John C Dvorak: This is just a gouge class it. Yes.
Adam Curry: Yes. And I bet you that Tucker said 1000s and
1000s. I bet he paid $100,000 for that 10 Page opinion.
Because it wasn't it wasn't Bob's law firm. By the way. Bob
is our lawyer. He I met him in Fredericksburg. Robert, our
constitutional lawyer. That's Bob's lawyer. He's a great guy
costs zero.
John C Dvorak: That's why he's Bob. Yeah.
Adam Curry: You're right. Good point.
John C Dvorak: All right. So anyway, so I found that to be a
distressing, yes. That was distressing. But more
distressing is this clip. This is him on Snowden.
Unknown: But then there's another fact, which is that I
was being surveilled by the US government intensely surveilled
by the US government. And this came out they admitted it, the
NSA admitted it a couple of years ago that they were up in
my signal account. And then they leaked it to the New Yorker. So
they did that again, before I left. And I know that because
two New York Times reporters, one of whom I actually like a
lot, said, Oh, you're going and called other people. Oh, he's
going in if you put I'm told anybody that like anybody, my
wife, to producers, that's it. So they got that from the
government. Then I'm over there. And of course, I want to see
Snowden, who I admire. And so I have we have a mutual friend. So
I got his texts and come on over and Snowden does not want
publicity at all. And so but I really wanted have dinner with
them. So we had dinner in my hotel room at the Four Seasons
in Moscow and for
Adam Curry: a second. How can the Four Seasons be operating in
Moscow? Is that not a violation of all sanctions? Sounds like it
everybody had to close McDonald's Burger King. But yet,
four seasons is operational. The Four Seasons
Unknown: in Moscow and I tried to convince him I'd love to do
an interview shoot on my iPhone. You know, I'd love to take a
picture together and put it on the internet because I just want
to show support because I think he's been railroaded. He had no
interest in living in Russia, no intention of being in Russia.
The whole thing is alive anyway, whatever. All this stuff and he
just said respectfully I'd rather not anyone know that we
met. Great. The only reason I'm telling you that
Adam Curry: wait a minute, why is Tucker saying it now?
John C Dvorak: He explains it. Oh, I'm sorry.
Unknown: I'd rather not anyone know that we met. Great. The
only reason I'm telling you this is because and I didn't tell
anybody and I didn't text it to anybody. Okay, except him.
semaphore semaphore runs this piece saying, report reporting
information that got from the US Intel agencies leaking against
me using my money in my name in a supposedly free country. They
run this piece saying I'd met with Snowden like it was a crime
or something. So again, what my interest is in the United States
and preserving freedoms here, the ones that I grew up with,
and if you have a media establishment that acts as an
auxilary of or acts as employees of the national security state
you don't have a free country.
Adam Curry: Oh, oh, hello, wake up call for Tucker Carlson. Wow,
Tucker, do not know that everything is recorded and all
they have to do is just retrieve it when they want to. He doesn't
mention you know, the the amendment that removes the
warrant requirement for a FISA request. Oh my god, someone
educate Tucker?
John C Dvorak: Well, I think he knows what he says later that he
he's already talked to the Intel people about the Fed that
everything signal all these crazy systems that you can, you
know, suppose they are secure, aren't secure, they got by
backdoors. And everything's being recorded. And he kind of
knows that. So I think he did the story. So he could slam by n
Smith and semaphore, which is a really dubious news operation,
which is out there.
Adam Curry: By the way, what you're saying about signals is,
is quite an accusation. Because, you know, they're Whoa, they're
big nonprofit. And they're very, very, very adamant about how
secure their system is. And with that, I'd like to, I'd like to
mention everybody, if you're using proton mail, for some
reason, and I'm not against it, proton mail has decided to send
everything to me encrypted, which is great. So I guess if
you've had an email conversation with me, my you know, I have my
encryption, public key in my signature file. protonmail
automatically encrypts your email to me, which is new. The
problem is if you don't include your public key, I can't reply
to you securely but that's a new thing. I'd found that very
interesting. has happened started happening the beginning
of this week.
John C Dvorak: Ah, yeah. Interesting. So anyway, he goes
on about this. This meeting he had with snow and that's what
happened and he was blown out
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, of course, of course semaphore with
anything that Scott Professor Scott Galloway likes reading
it's got to be compromised. Key and Karish wish I was Oh
semaphore OHS? I love reading semaphore. But of course, it's
run by your intel agencies. We got it.
John C Dvorak: I don't think is that good? No, that's
Adam Curry: why they read it. They're not informed. Hello.
Okay, so Tara and Scott man
John C Dvorak: doing I don't get it. So here he is talking about
this is kind of funny, because, you know, he's, like I said,
he's a chatterbox. So he can go on and on. And he does a good
self effacing thing here, which is, it doesn't so casually. He's
really, he's got over time, I've actually come to admire Tucker,
even though he's, like you said, I think he's like foolish crap
about a lot of stuff. And, you know, like you said, I'm a gas
Oh, Guy gambling. And so, here he is with Putin on Putin, who
was a little, a little bit on here. And he goes on about this
a lot more, and I'll explain what he said. on
Unknown: certain topics, know what it would mean to ask a
tough question, clarifying questions, I suppose they would,
I guess I just wanted him to talk. You know, I just wanted to
hear his perspective. Again, I've probably asked more asshole
questions. And like any living American, you know, I'm as, as
has been noted correctly, I'm a dick, by my nature. And so I
don't I just feel at this stage in my life, I didn't need to
prove that I can answer the question. Sure. You know, I
think if I had been, you know, 34, instead of 54, I definitely
would have done that. Because I would have thought this is
really about me, and I need to prove myself. No, I just there's
a war going on. That is wrecking the US economy in a way and at a
scale people do not understand the US dollar is going away.
That was, of course inevitable, ultimately, because everything
dies, including currencies. But that death, that process of
death has been accelerated exponentially by the behavior of
the Biden administration in the US Congress, particularly the
sanctions and people's donors to what the ramifications of that
are the ramifications for poverty in the United States.
John C Dvorak: Hmm. It goes into a long diatribe, which I should
have clipped about the sanctions and how it's driving Russia to
China and also its bolstering the BRICS
Adam Curry: it I think that's that's a fair statement. And
John C Dvorak: BRICS, which now have like about 25 other
countries that want to join. Yeah, they're they don't have
the combined GDP of the United States in Europe, but with
China, and its GDP, and then all these little countries. This
Dining to put their their eggs in one basket and then create
their own currency is a huge threat. Yes.
Adam Curry: Well, Saudi Arabia is. So the Saudis are in there
in the bricks now,
John C Dvorak: all these people and it's and he really thinks
this is a major concern. Now, typically we've always worm our
way out of these situations the United States does because we're
smarter in terms of the finances and entrepreneurship, a lot of
things. Okay, our use of the way we use capitalism is a little
more aggressive than others. We've
Adam Curry: We've hoodwinked our people into just letting the
wheat rant
John C Dvorak: over again, and we won't we haven't stopped yet.
Adam Curry: No, it's grabbing the hoodwink is great.
Everyone's like boy Oh, dollar. But I think the mistake was
kicking Russia off of Swift. And if if if they do what this this
nutjob Kasparov says, if they steal the $300 billion, that
will that will be a tipping point for the US dollar system.
That
John C Dvorak: would be big, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm I'm
on the side that it shouldn't happen. It won't happen.
Adam Curry: I agree. You're no I agree with you. I think they're
gonna do it.
John C Dvorak: That I don't think they're going to do it.
Okay. If they do it there, this is a grave error. Yes. And
Adam Curry: no, I agree with you. That's a grave error. But I
just think that that's stupid, or arrogant,
John C Dvorak: or maybe they're doing it arrogance is the right
word, hubris. There's a lot of arrogance, especially in this
particular administration of relative dummies. Yes, they're
dumb. They're a dumb, dumb, dumb administration. They're just a
press secretary, John Pierre is a perfect example. She just
seems stupid. She's
Adam Curry: a troll. She's she's a she's a literal troll troll,
too, in her journey, her job and you know, I have a trolls, the
trolls troll, because they're just projecting their rejection,
you know, their own rejection. In life, the rejections they've
received, they're projecting that and that is what she's
doing. And she's good at it. She trolls, the media and people
every single you really think she's stupid. She is trolling.
John C Dvorak: I've seen her on. I remember seeing her on MSNBC.
years before she became depressed secretary and she is
genuinely stupid.
Adam Curry: Okay. Well, not all Trump, not all trolls. They
wouldn't live under bridges if they were smart. I mean, be
honest about yeah, there's
John C Dvorak: other things to do with your life. So the last
clip is a little bit about Nirvani. And it's not I don't
think it kind of plays in earlier clues. But it's just not
that is interesting. Is the Lawyer just open the Snowden
clip.
Unknown: It's just a minute, we can listen to it. But do we know
how we died? Short answer? No, we don't. Now, if I had to guess
I would say killing Ivani. During the Munich Security
Conference, in the middle of the debate over $60 billion in
Ukraine funding. Maybe the Russians are dumb. I didn't get
that vibe at all. You know, I just don't I don't see it. But
maybe, you know, maybe they killed him. I mean, they
certainly put him in prison, which I'm against. But here's
what I do know, is that we don't know. And so when Chuck Schumer
stands up, he
Adam Curry: said, Here's what I do know, do know that we don't
know what does he say? Certainly
Unknown: put him in prison, which I'm against. But here's
what I do know is that we don't know. And so when Chuck Schumer
stands up and Joe Biden reads some card in front of him with
lines about Nuvali. It's like, I'm allowed to laugh at that,
because it's absurd. You don't know.
I mean, there's a lot of interesting ideas about if he
was killed who killed him? Yeah, because it could be Putin. It
could be somebody in Russia who is not Putin. It could be
Ukrainians, because it would benefit the war
surgeons daughter in Moscow. So yeah, that's possible. And
it could be Pfizer in the United States could also be involved. I
don't
think we kill people in other countries to affect election
outcomes. Oh, wait, no, we do it a lot.
Adam Curry: Pfizer killed him.
John C Dvorak: We all know this. They never mentioned Pfizer?
Adam Curry: Of course not. Of course not. That's because the
control. The blood clots
John C Dvorak: are caused by any of the vaccines. I mean, even
j&j, we had that issue and AstraZeneca. For sure.
Adam Curry: While we're on the military industrial complex,
Defense Secretary Austin, if it's really defense secretary
Austin. Hey, I
John C Dvorak: still haven't seen him standing. That's my
kid. Look, I'm looking at waiting to see him stand because
he's a big tall guy. Although I think you could have had the leg
up or at you know, that leg up or she was stretchered. Sure.
ABS Yeah. He's
Adam Curry: been in hospital long enough for them to stretch
him out. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Here's NBC
Unknown: News reports since Secretary Lloyd Austin in the
hot seat today, it was a failure of leadership House Republicans
grilling Austin for not telling the White House he was diagnosed
with prostate cancer underwent surgery for it and weeks later
was hospitalized with serious complications.
I found it very concerning that sick Terry could be hostile
hospital Cost of three days without anyone else in the
administration even noticing either the
President is that aloof or you are irrelevant. Which one is it?
Mr. Secretary? It's the either
Democrats or forgiving. You want to know what accountability is
accountability is having to come and sit in front of people and
their outrage and their drama. Terry, emphasizing that someone
was always in control. There
was never a lapse, and authorities or command and
control,
but acknowledging a breakdown in the notification process.
We did not handle this right. And I did not handle it right.
Although Austin
took responsibility. He also said he assumed his staff would
manage it.
I never directed anyone to keep my hospitalization from the
White House. On Monday,
the Pentagon releasing a summary of a classified review that
blamed a lack of notification in part on a lack of written
guidance, but also on staff not wanting to pry into Austin's
health, the review recommending new procedures, if any
American worker did what you did, they would be fired. No.
And
the question still remains, why did it take the Pentagon three
days to tell President Biden his defense secretary was in
intensive care.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable that they do news about this,
who cares? It's a show the whole thing is a show, and it's a bad
show. No,
John C Dvorak: I disagree. 100% with this 100% 100% I
Adam Curry: think it's a good show.
John C Dvorak: I disagree with you. 95.5%. You
Adam Curry: think it's a good show?
John C Dvorak: I think they know he's dead. And they're just
trying to humiliate the administration by bringing this
out and asking him stupid questions that they know the
answer to well, let's
Adam Curry: see what ABC did with this. With this show.
Unknown: It was the first time the Defense Secretary appeared
before Congress after failing to alert the White House about his
prostate cancer surgery and his emergency hospitalization days
later.
I did not handle it right. As you know, I've apologized
including directly to the President. And I take full
responsibility. Austin
insisting there was no lapse in the chain of command, given that
his deputy took control. But Republican lawmakers showed
Austin no mercy,
someone needs to be held accountable. Congressman Jim
banks calling it an embarrassment
either the President is that aloof? There's the clip for you
are irrelevant. Which one is? Terry, do you read that the
President would go three days without knowing that his
Secretary of Defense is is not on the job? It's
the either the President is not aloof, Austin said.
Adam Curry: What's this aloof business?
John C Dvorak: Look up. Let me let me go. Let me know what
aloof means in the way they're using it is wrong. aloof, not
friendly or forthcoming, cool and distant? What does that got
to do with him knowing whether or not this defense secretary is
there?
Adam Curry: I think he said a goof. Is he a good boy?
Unknown: Oh, yeah, that would be it is not on the job.
It's the either. The President is not aloof. Austin
said he never told staff his absence was because of a
scheduled surgery or that he was later rushed back by ambulance
because of complications.
When did your staff find out you were at the hospital?
I don't know when
John C Dvorak: that the very beginning of that he lost his
Ed. Voice. Oh, it's a real voice. We
Adam Curry: go, man, this. I mean, did you feel worse than I
am with the moon landing on this thing? No. Here we go.
complications.
Unknown: When did your staff find out you were at the
hospital?
Adam Curry: Yeah. That was the real the actor. I
Unknown: don't know when. When you
don't know when you told you're getting better at the hospital.
Are you kidding me? But Democrats defended Austin
arguing Congress's focus needs to be passing a stalled military
aid PAC money for Ukraine.
John C Dvorak: I would challenge any member on the other side of
this aisle to claim that the Secretary of Defense, not fully
informing the president for three days is somehow more
important than walking away money, that obligation that we
need and that the whole world is watching us on
Adam Curry: the whole world watching us. No, that's the
military industrial complex watching you. It's
John C Dvorak: the CEOs of Boeing and Lockheed. Yes, yes,
they're watching you.
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, speaking of the President being aloof or
a goof Dr. Jen Yoshi is America's favorite doctor. For a
she Typically on ABC in the morning, she went, she stayed at
the studio a little longer. And she went to the view. And I
think I mean, we know the view is very scripted the view, it's
admitted that everything they say is scripted. There's very
little room for ad libbing and Dr. Jim came on with a message,
which was, I think, a message for the American people.
Unknown: I think in my medical opinion, first of all, how does
he compared to a 54 year old woman? I couldn't do that job.
Adam Curry: This is regarding his clean bill of health at
Walter Reed.
John C Dvorak: Biden's Biden's energy level because you know,
his sharpest attack. Yes, sharpest?
Unknown: I think in my medical opinion, first of all, how does
he compared to a 54 year old woman? I couldn't do that job.
Yeah, right. Being president, there were some glaring
omissions in that physical report. It was about seven
pages. We all got a copy of it. From the President's physician,
we do what's called a review of systems. Anytime we do a
physical exam on someone that includes not only just general
neurologic evaluation, but a mental evaluation, a screening
for depression or psychiatric illness, mental illness,
anxiety, not in their cognitive exam, not in their genital
urinary exam, prostate exam, not in there. We can all
check on him. It was
it was comprehensive, in his doctor's opinion. Yeah. But what
was released to the public, if you're a health care
professional, you know, what things have not been in there?
You know, so again, maybe they were done but not released? I
would like to think that they were probably done but not
released. Yeah.
The question is, can they do the job and it looks like he can. I
am not his physician. But you know, again, I he does have a
qualified physician. And it was a thorough report. But
something's missing.
Adam Curry: Come on. This is signaling that the guys have
dead. Doctors, America's favorite doctor saying, you
know, well, you know, I didn't see a review of systems. That's
a message. The view is a messaging system.
John C Dvorak: That's a good catch on that clip. It's, it's
concerning. very concerning. Well, everybody knows what's
going on. It's not like a big shock to anybody that Biden's
got one foot in the grave.
Adam Curry: I loved it. Man. I didn't forget to clip that. I
love where he was. He had phony Maloney sitting at the
fireplace, Maloney of Italy, and he's talking about dropping aid
to Gaza. And then all of a sudden he starts yapping about
Ukraine. And she's the funniest. She's like looking at her paper
like what was he talking about? And she's looking at him like,
what's wrong with you, man? You're talking about Ukraine all
of a sudden. That was crazy.
John C Dvorak: Here play this is my last Ukraine. This is true
though.
Adam Curry: This clip has been sent to us several times and I
for some reason neither of us clipped it until now.
Unknown: We know that Russia must win this war. That's a
story that Ukraine must win this war against Russia.
Adam Curry: Oh poor guy can't catch a break.
John C Dvorak: He doesn't deserve a break that guy can't
catch a break man. Let's see.
Adam Curry: Where do you want to go next? I mean there's there's
a lot of stuff happening and that people are supposed to be
John C Dvorak: very upset about oh, I have a series of clips now
okay, which show you that the phony baloney This is a four
clips and they're not long. But this is a boat shows you the
phony baloney nature of PBS News hours. debate between Brooks and
Capehart. How goodness you know, kind of fight. This has fight to
be in agreement with each other. The only ratings
Adam Curry: this show has is our show.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Okay, that to be true, yes.
Adam Curry: Okay, so this is the so called public broadcast
systems in America with a so called count point counterpoint.
Right left red blue discussion.
John C Dvorak: So let's start with Capehart. On immigration
flub one
Unknown: president of the sitting President of the United
States, in conjunction with the Senate Majority Leader, Chuck
Schumer, Chuck Schumer, along with one of the most
conservative members of the Senate. Oh my gosh, I can't
believe I'm spacing on his Langford, senator from Oklahoma,
but they sat down and hammered out a deal after the President
went before the nation and said everything is on the table. I'm
willing to negotiate. They negotiated they came up with a
bill that bits and pieces of it were leaking out that was so bad
from the President's base perspective that they were
raising hell about if this becomes law, this is going to
set immigration policy back for a long time. But the President's
thought we need to do something. They come up with the bill. And
what happened, Donald Trump made a phone call, or put out some
social media posts to it.
Adam Curry: I love I love this, this this meme that even
everyone is repeating it. Donald Trump stopped this bill full.
How does Donald Trump control everything
John C Dvorak: then why he made a phone call,
he made a push. But here's, here's what you really heard it.
Adam Curry: He made he made a perfect phone call.
John C Dvorak: So here's what you heard in this clip, I get
the joke. Okay. He hears what you heard in this clip, he
couldn't remember Lankford his name, and it shook him.
Adam Curry: Because he's an operative, and he should have
known better. He's
John C Dvorak: an operative and he should know better. And he's
in he thinks of himself as slick. Okay, and so when he so
now it starts to, and now it's eating at him, and you're gonna
hear some glow coming up. It's
Adam Curry: gonna fall apart here. Right? Because you're
John C Dvorak: going with clip two Republicans
Unknown: refused to take yes for an answer. And gave the
president gave President Biden the perfect thing to go before
the nation and say, I'm trying. I was part of this deal. They I
gave them basically everything they wanted. And they still
said, No, those people are not serious. And I think if he
hammers that message, time and time again, I think I think it
will break through.
John C Dvorak: Oh, they didn't give anything that the
Republicans wanted. That bills a piece of crap. And it didn't
address the pretty much anything. It
Adam Curry: was not the one that Chuck Schumer voted no on. Yes.
When Chuck Schumer wrote and voted no on. But if Chuck
Schumer had voted yes, it would have passed. No, you
John C Dvorak: it doesn't make any difference who actually yes,
it would have passed, it would have passed because it was 49 to
50, which is
Adam Curry: my understanding that Schumer that in order to
bring a bill up again, he had to vote no, someone, someone that's
the
John C Dvorak: thesis, I've heard it a million times. But
when is it going to be brought up? When does that ever happen
to they bring the failed bill up again? Well, that is a nonsense
thesis. And why did Elizabeth rewarmed vote? No, because she
could have voted yes. Well, she's all his huge voting
stooge.
Adam Curry: He's just stooge who hurt Americans with these bogus
over the counter hearing aids spared for you? I hate her for
that. I really? I mean, of course, I pray for her man, but
men should call back. She's bad. Yes. All right, we
John C Dvorak: move on to clip three, do the thing which
Unknown: I think the British have done, which is to say,
we're going to stop the asylum process until we can digest all
the people who have already in the system. And that will at
least try to impose some order, because if there's just chaos,
it's gonna be just bad news
from him. But the only problem is it that'd be a great thing to
do, David, but there's no money. One of the things about that
Senate Bill was that it was giving funding to allow the
Customs and Border Patrol to do the things you were just saying.
So the chaos will continue. Not because the President isn't
doing enough, but because but because the Senate can't pass a
bill that would make it possible for the President to do what he
wants to do, but also for Republicans to get done. What
they say needs to be needs to be done for years now.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so he's losing it. drained out by the
moderator now, that what, what Brooks mentioned, which was Stop
it, and let's just process the people we've got before we keep
letting you know, 10s of 1000s more people in this guy had no
answer for that. And now here it comes. Here comes that what's
really going on on this pro on PBS, with this guy in
particular?
Unknown: Well, let me ask you this, because the President is
weighing some executive action apps and congressional action
that would allow him to tighten asylum rules. So if there is a
problem, and both sides say that there is a problem at the
southern border, and he has the authority to tighten the asylum
rules, why not do it? What's he waiting for?
I mean, I wonder, does he really have does he really have the
power? Why I wonder if the White House and you should ask me that
question beforehand, so I could have made some calls might have
to see what they're doing.
Adam Curry: Wow, I need to call the White House get my talking
points.
John C Dvorak: Wow, believe what he just said. Yes. I
Adam Curry: think this just credits any more clips from them
ever again on the show.
John C Dvorak: I'll tell you this. After that, he realized
what he said I don't have any more clips because it would have
gotten tedious. But he realized what he just did. He said that I
need I talked to the why not much of an analyst really I have
to let The White House telling me what to say or share it. I
Adam Curry: told me that later earlier I should have known
well, no man
John C Dvorak: can was upset after that. He was fumbling and
mumbling he knew what he did. He couldn't take it back. No, it
was an humiliation. And that whole segment your you know,
basically, right, this segment is a humiliation, it is not news
and analysis is what does the White House telling me to say?
Let me say it, what good is that we can just listen to the White
House for that. Well, here's
Adam Curry: what the White House said on February 29. There's a
screenshot in the show notes just to make sure in case they
decide to change it. February 29, the fact sheet impact of
bipartisan border agreement funding on border operations. So
this is about the bill and it says here, listen to this. The
bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are
providing critical services to newcomers and would expedite
work permits for people who are in the country and qualified
there it is newcomers. We didn't know if it will be called
visitors or the but they're just taking newcomers as illegal
immigrants. Newcomers newcomers there it is. And we were joking
about it just two weeks ago. Now they were joking about
John C Dvorak: how I have this sheet here this one did CPR news
a Denver talked about how they're going to we're making a
language style change that we hope will humanize people
arriving in Colorado from the border what what bordered in
Colorado that being shipped in Yes, for the past year and a
half Denver right in Colorado public radio had been following
the stories of people arriving from the border many of them
traveled through multiple countries, multiple risking
their lives and well being to get to the United States. We've
heard stories of news items on the radio, all these the word
migrant has been featured prominently as a bank blanket
term. And it goes on and says you stop using migrant Oh, what
Adam Curry: do we use now newcomer
John C Dvorak: new immigrants? No,
Adam Curry: I just call them new immigrants.
John C Dvorak: So they want to come new immigrants not not
migrants minus illegals
Adam Curry: but illegal aliens.
John C Dvorak: That was like a month ago. You have the new one
new comers, comers. Let's move to newcomers and hope that in
the style guide and use that
Adam Curry: newcomers it's one word. Newcomers one word. So
there was an interesting media moment Oh, surprise, as both
President Biden and former President Trump went to the
border on the same day, two different spots on the border of
course. And here's an OP from CBS two
Unknown: reports. The President and the former president who
wants to replace him in the White House played the blame
game today along the US Mexico border they
John C Dvorak: engaged as a Biden invasion over the past
three years.
Unknown: President Biden said it was Donald Trump who urged House
Republicans to kill the bill that would have beefed up
security at the border.
This time for the speakers and some of my Republican friends in
Congress for blocking this bill to show little spine
after a record number of illegal crossings last year, President
Biden who toured the border in Brownsville, Texas, he's trying
to show he's addressing an issue that more than 60% of voters
call a very serious concern. Just hours before the
President's arrival here in Brownsville US Border Patrol in
Texas State police say they stopped people on the other side
of the border from bringing across drugs. But Chris Cabrera
of the Border Patrol said that with the illegal crossings into
this part of Texas down recently, the President has come
too late. But I think the timing is a little off.
I mean, if you would have come a year ago, two years ago, three
years ago, Trump who visited Eagle Pass more than 300 miles
away continued exploiting a crisis that he couldn't solve
either hoping it'll put them back in the White House. Ally
say he's planning mass deportations and detention camps
if elected. Today, he sought to falsely connect President Biden
to the recent murder of a Georgia nursing student by a
Venezuelan migrant who entered the country illegally in 2022.
The
John C Dvorak: monster that charged charged in the death is
an illegal alien migrant who was let into our country and
released into our communities by crooked Joe Biden,
Unknown: the president who didn't address Trump's attacks,
said they should work together. Join
me for I'll join you in telling the Congress to pass this
bipartisan border security bill.
Adam Curry: This is very this is a very interesting strategy. And
I'm surprised by it. That that, you know whoever is running Joe
said, Okay, here's what you do call out to Trump and say join
me. Since you control the Republicans, Senate and
Congress. Join me Join me this day, the current Devora
Consulting Group, I do not think would have advised this. What do
you think? Seems like poor advice.
John C Dvorak: It's not good to put him in a week's position. I
agree. I definitely would not be advised. And somebody obviously
told him that is not something he dreamed.
Adam Curry: We know the guy doesn't she's barely functioning
this is you know, and you can
John C Dvorak: tell, but the key part character goes on about how
Trump called one guy or posted something. They don't know why
he did, but he's the one responsible somehow, it gives
them too much power. And you're not in California, but there's a
series of very interesting series of ads for the US. We
have a new US Senator, we need to vote in it's either going to
be Adam Schiff, or Steve Garvey, the baseball player. Oh,
Adam Curry: that is the baseball player, isn't it? I was like,
what this is a sports ball
John C Dvorak: guy. Yeah, sport. He's, I think it was first base
for the Dodgers. Anyway, he was a very machine like player is
very nobody liked him up here.
Adam Curry: Because he didn't play good sports ball. No,
because
John C Dvorak: he was a Dodger. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Schiff has
been doing these ads, where he's promoting Steve Garvey was
saying he's a dick. Oh, and Steve Garvey is no good for
California. He's terrible. We've got to stop Steve Garvey. And
Steve Garvey, who said that doesn't have half the budget of
shift.
Adam Curry: He's loving it. He's like, give me more give me more
attention.
John C Dvorak: He's getting a lot of attention he's getting
people are going, why should we stop and what is he done? It
means bringing the guy to the fore his numbers keep going up
with very little advertising. Because this idiot Schiff, Adam
Schiff, keeps promoting Steve Garvey in his advertising is
some of the dumbest it's the stupidest thing you can do. This
is like, why Trump doesn't want to keep talking about Nikki
Haley. Don't give us any more ammunition.
Adam Curry: Alright, let's talk about people who matter like Joy
read his joy read you know, she's moved to primetime. You
know, this is and this is her. Oh, she She's everywhere. She's
very important now to MSNBC. And I think again, I'm going back to
most theory, finding Willis is taking the fall for not being
able to stop you know, Trump legally in Georgia. And boy is
she is she taking the fall I mean, boy has gotta beaten her.
You got to feel bad for and Trump Of course he can't do it.
This is just pounding it all.
John C Dvorak: Here's a woman way This is funny. Phony Willis,
who came out and ran on the proposition that it will be no
no saying there will be no she went on and on about it. No.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Brett
John C Dvorak: noising at the office now that's out. Yeah, I
know. I know. So you can't feel sorry for this I is ironic. The
other one that Leticia James is getting it. And then now we have
a third black woman. The this is
Adam Curry: I'm going to repeat most theory. Yay. As a theory
said that, you know, all of this Dei, all have all been you know,
putting black women front and center. And by the way, Korean
John Paul Pierre abdul-jabbar is also going to go they will all
take the fall when Trump and we're just going to presume that
when he is elected, they are all going to be blamed for it. And
according to mo he says, Look, this is it. Now it's time for
you you ladies to shine, time for you to go and show you
better do it now. And it's not happening. And the read the read
out. Joy read will probably be in that pile as well. Now she
had on just sticking with immigration for a second Maria
Teresa Kumar. And she, she's big in the I think it's Latin ex
Latin ex political rights activist. Are you familiar with
her?
John C Dvorak: Not offhand. I saw her picture I might
recognize you're pretty young.
Adam Curry: She's born in 1974. She's from Colombia, actually.
So let's see what she has to say here. Well, and I
Unknown: think one of the things that we all also have to realize
is that the by the time that someone gets to the border, Troy
that is not our immigration policy. Right, right. We have to
recognize that the reason that we got to this moment was that
Trump themselves dismantled a lot of the programs where people
could go ahead and file for some sort of visa or work permit in
their home countries. And in an effort to rebuild that you had
COVID that really up ended Latin America specifically, had close
to 16 million middle class Latin Americans that went directly
into lower class. They went into poverty, and there was no
response internationally from any of this. So as the as the
President goes in and talks about how tricky this situation
is, how's it Western hemispheric issue. I hope he also recognizes
that there are essential workers that are demanding relief that
have been here for 1020 30 years that have been paying their
taxes, who have American children who are ready to vote
for him. If he actually recognizes their contribution.
What he
is saying what Trump is saying he's gonna do is just deport
them all. He says he's gonna deport 10. He wants to know
who's whose. This
Adam Curry: is fear mongering this is this is her job now is
to, hey, you've been here for 1020 years be very worried. This
is the same thing they're doing in Germany with the IFA, the
alternate alternative for Deutschland, same thing.
European hair, he's going to deport you.
Unknown: Who is I think anybody Latino is suddenly going to be
targeting Asian or anybody, no one with an accent, an accent,
right? And anybody right Black wants to formula. That's
John C Dvorak: the goal. The goal now Cheech and
Unknown: Chong better hide hold operation went back Park sorry
for the horrible words, but that's what they call this.
Eisenhower wants to
Adam Curry: hear what she said went back they will listen. Yes,
she says she apologizes
Unknown: suddenly going to be talking to me. Or anybody with
an accent right? And anybody right black or brown? I mean,
he's wants to formulate this program that's based on what he
called Operation went back Park sorry for the horrible work
women
Adam Curry: Operation Wetback wasn't that in the Che Guevara
days?
John C Dvorak: Let's look it up.
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm pretty sure. Operation Wetback. I'm
going to finish this clip. 18 seconds while you look. He
Unknown: wants to formulate this program that's based on what
he's called. Operation went back. Pardon. Sorry for the
horrible words, but that's what they call.
John C Dvorak: That's what he wants to have to stop it. Okay.
Operation went back. 1954 Che Guevara by no is a US policy by
US Attorney General Herbert brah. BROWN Well, the short
lived operation using military tiles style tax tactics that
can't read today to remove Mexican immigrants. Some of them
American citizens from the United States operation went
back into Wikipedia, some
Adam Curry: American citizens.
John C Dvorak: It was headed by Ed Yeah, okay.
Unknown: Sorry for the horrible words, but that's what they call
those Eisenhower. Yeah. And that's what he wants to do. It's
a mass cruelty program. But what he's keying in on is that people
are angry, and they just want to see something cool. The same
people who didn't mind that children were being taken off of
their the breasts of their mothers as their breastfeeding.
Grandma, my parents had in mind that they want them back.
Adam Curry: These people, they just want to see something
cruel. Yes. It's like the Roman days and the Colosseum. We just
want to see something cruel and something bloody. There's a part
two to this. We don't
Unknown: level with each other because one of the reasons why
we are enjoying such an economic bump, immigration, immigration
call i Oh, sup.
Adam Curry: We're enjoying an economic bump right now. Because
of immigration. So all right, yes. This is what they're saying
that the economy is great. His point one, the economy is great.
And, and because all these people who are sleeping in
airports and in repurposed hotels, and the schools now
being forced to stay in people's homes, like in Massachusetts,
this is providing an economic bump. Oh, it's immigration,
Unknown: we don't level with each other. Because one of the
reasons why we are enjoying such an economic bump, immigration,
immigration, the folks that have crossed the border and said, You
know what, and this is what we forget really unifies us. The
folks that come to the United States as immigrants, they come
with this idea that they can be the best version of themselves
in this country. It is our ancestors of entrepreneurs. And
we forget that that is the lifeblood that again, who is
afraid of that? It's the Russians and the Chinese. And we
have to be very, very clear that what is happening right now on
social media when they're trying to separate us. Yes, it's the
far right. But the algorithms fed into us are also foreign
actors. Recognizing that our Achilles heel is the racism but
that are unique in our multicultural strength allows us
to compete
in the world. That is the thing that's sort of mad at me is that
Russia doesn't have to like invent conspiracy theories to
hurt the US. They just have to take the people's already
existing anxiety. Right, it's working and it's working because
people here are letting it work.
Adam Curry: Putin does it again.
John C Dvorak: So what is a couple of lunatics Joy
Adam Curry: read is going to go down to they're all going.
They're all going down. So obvious. You know, there's
something we forgot to talk about, which I think we should
probably probably mention. Here we go is
Unknown: a spa, the spa, the spa, the spoon. Everybody wants
to spot the spoon.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Catherine herridge who was fired from CB
Yes with the latest rounds of CBS fairings paramount in big
Violetta,
John C Dvorak: but another one of those black high profile
black woman who was
Adam Curry: that who did it? Yeah. So our, our initial
reaction was she's being reassigned. And I wonder, and I
felt that a good cover already was, yeah, they got her papers
to get her papers, they got her papers, or they got her papers.
So that's crazy that the feds got her papers. And that to me
make really gives her a lot of credibility forever. She lands
next. But now, now I'm starting to doubt our theory, as she's
being held in civil contempt for refusing to divulge her source.
Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Now, based on some blog suit that's going on
where the person that's being sued is demanding that they find
out something or others the Chinese Chinese woman has a very
complicated case, but I disagree. I think the further
you go down the road with this the more and
Adam Curry: more more credibility. So now she so now
not only is she credible because of the feds who got her papers,
which is credible, because Don't worry, she'll never reveal you
as a source.
John C Dvorak: But you want Yes, the reputation you need. But
Adam Curry: how is she going to get out of this though, without?
John C Dvorak: This is a good question. But she'll get out of
it. Somehow they can't continue.
Adam Curry: Now. I still think she's going to land a government
job. That's where that's where you want her NOW. Kirby is
failing. Let's be honest, Kirby can't he's got no credibility
anymore. She would be great. She could she could actually relate
better
John C Dvorak: than Kirby Kirby's Kirby began, I think, in
the Defense Department, ya know, he's
Adam Curry: a rare animal.
John C Dvorak: We all know what he is. And he was kind of
working his way up the ladder. And then he's gotten to the
point where he can't lie very well. He's no good at it. No. So
he's fumbles and mumbles and he's up there and he makes
stupid says dumb stuff. And he doesn't look comfortable and he
doesn't look like he's enjoying the job. John pair looks like
she's enjoying the job.
Adam Curry: But I think she she needs to go down and she'll be
out and that would be a great spot for pixie girl for
Catherine herridge. I think she would be a perfect next spokes
all for the President. Yeah, yeah, I think she she's got the
John C Dvorak: next president's going to be Trump unless they
really do a great number. And I have a clip from 2004.
Adam Curry: Going back in time with the sound of the nation.
John C Dvorak: This is, if you remember the George Bush, Kerry
election. In 2004, there was a voting machine scandal. It was
based on the deep, bold machines. Diebold here's
Adam Curry: what I remember. I remember. Just just when you say
that the first impression I remember watching the carry was
carries camp live on television. And all of a sudden you just see
Kerry's face go wood, and his numbers just tanked. At that
very moment, there was like this huge surge for Bush. That's
That's what I remember. Huge.
John C Dvorak: Remember, right? And the thing was at Bush was
unpopular at the time, because he had implemented all kinds of
things like the Patriot Act. And he's the wars that were he was
promoting, were going not going well. And it was just it was
just a waste of money was terrible
Adam Curry: big head.
John C Dvorak: And he was dumb. He was he was smart when he was
in Texas, because you can see the old clips that he was sharp
and then he was became kind of dopey making you wonder what
they're dragging these guys with. And so we have now we have
Jerry Nadler, who I believe is on the Charlie Rose show in
2004. Talking about voting machines,
Unknown: if in fact, someone were deliberately hacking these
machines, you could steal millions of votes, and no one
would know it. And that's why the methodology is problematic.
Now there is no evidence that happened. But you can't prove it
didn't either. And you can't prove it won't next time. That's
why we have to have a paper trail. We've documented any
number of people documented a machine in this county that
recorded 11,000 extra votes for Bush and that county that was
counting carry votes for Bush people who pushed the touch to
Karis name would come up Bush they touched it again and would
come up push they touched a third time he finally got it
right. And all kinds of things like this one, one machine. And
when we say my machine, these are large machines like I have a
county apparently, after it reached 3000 votes total every
time you voted for Bush it subtracted one instead of added
one we add push carried subtract one instead of adding one. In
all these instances were instances where they were quite
otherwise they wouldn't have been reported. They were quite
presumably corrected. The question, obviously, is how many
instances were not caught that we don't know about? And what if
any impact did that have on the election of national president?
Have been for county commissioner or congressman, or
whatever. And it's clear that we have some of these new
technologies of the electronic voting, replacing the the Chad's
and all that which had other problems. But they're no paper
trails. And we have all sorts of testimony before the election
from electronics experts that, number one, we've seen a lot of
what are called Honest glitches where it just didn't work.
Adam Curry: Why did you say honest glitches? Yeah,
Unknown: the money before the election from electronics
experts that. Number one, we've seen a lot of what are called
Honest glitches where it just didn't work, right. But also
that these machines are hackable that a dishonest employee of the
vendor, or dishonest employee of a local board of elections, or
simply someone who knows electronics and has a computer
at home, could hack into these machines and put in a secret
instruction to disregard every 20th democratic voter ID 10% of
the carrier to the bush voter, whatever, he might not ever know
it. I
Adam Curry: would like to point out that Gillespie County is a
hand count County in Texas, we have banned electronic voting
machines.
John C Dvorak: Which should be everywhere. Yeah. Okay. And this
by the way, we I'm going to re re mentioned that this is from
2004. There's no reason that this hasn't changed at companies
that may.
Adam Curry: Why didn't Diebold Sue Nadler for this for this
outrageous accusation?
John C Dvorak: Because now there's got the net, the deep
pockets of Fox Oh, okay. So here we go. And
Unknown: we had these warnings before the election, and
apparently they're correct. And we have all these questions now.
And we're seeing instances of, so far as we know, honest
glitches that we caught
Adam Curry: Hey, dude, this glitches, that's a bumper
sticker.
Unknown: But the question arises, how many didn't we
catch? And how do you prevent that? Now, there's legislation
pending, which I'm co sponsoring, offered in the house
by rush halt in the Senate by Hillary Clinton and others. That
says, Every electronic machine should have a paper trail like
an ATM machine gives you a receipt, you should when you
push the carry, let's say you vote for carry an A for Congress
and B for the Senate, it should say carry a and b you see that a
machine. It should also print the piece of paper, which you
see, you look at the piece of paper, you see, okay, you then
press submit, it cuts off the piece of paper drops it into
into a box. So if anybody raises questions after the election,
you can in fact, count the paper. There was one county
where on some local race or some referendum, they lost 4500
votes, machine, hiccup, they lost it 4500 People didn't have
their votes counted. And we don't know if that made a
difference in that referendum or local race or whatever. But the
system is inherently subject to that kind of thing. So we asked
for investing Congressman Conyers, who's the ranking
Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, and Bob Wexler,
congressman from California, and I asked the Government
Accountability Office, which used to be known as the
Government Accounting Office, which is the nonpartisan
investigative arm of Congress to invest in, we asked that they
investigate the efficacy of voting machines and new
technologies, how election officials responded to
difficulties encountered and what we can do in the future. To
improve our election systems. These companies did a tremendous
sales job after the 2000 election in Florida, where we
had all those pains and problems with the Chad's. And everybody
said, get rid of these punch card machines find a better way
to do it, find a better way to do it, they had these products,
these products weren't really quite ready. I don't think I
mean, all these we have all these professors and these
computer experts telling us that the encryption algorithms aren't
sufficient that the protections are insufficient, their
proprietary data, so they kept secret. So we don't really know.
But they wanted to sell the machines and they did a
tremendous sales job. Oh,
Adam Curry: brother. Okay, well, now that almost just got
indigestion from listening to Nadler for three and a half
minutes. The 2000 election came up, I'm going to hit you right
back with another view clip in a conversation about the Supreme
Court decision, or schedule to discuss a decision whether any
president not just President Trump, but retroactively any
president can be held accountable for crimes committed
during a president's administration. This is this is
what is coming before the Supreme Court. The immunity?
Yes, the evaluation immunity now and I would just say upfront, I
think that the what's being ignored here is there is a
process if a president commits a crime or is questioned about it
has questionable behavior. The process is impeachment. And
after the impeachment in in the house, it goes to the Senate and
they can convict him.
John C Dvorak: Right? Yes, and then he can go Oh, two normal
civil court trials. Right.
Adam Curry: But so there is a process if you have a bogus
president. Yeah, there's a process, but that is just
ignored by the women of the view. And they so what you have,
I'm going to use the word positive. It's very interesting
that if, if they say Trump is accountable and and does not
have immunity for his mounting a insurrection, as when he was
still president, then we can arrest Obama for droning
American citizens. You can do all kinds of stuff. Yeah, the
lady from the view. Yes. You're gonna say, Well, I
John C Dvorak: was gonna say, curiously, the bullets out of
the out of the Justice miles but I have it turns out that Obama,
I didn't realize this, but he not only killed a Locky and a
lucky kid and
Adam Curry: his kids 16 year old we're having. They're having
coffee.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, supposedly. He said he also in the process,
killed Samir Khan, who is an American, US citizen of
Pakistani heritage, and he also killed Jude, Mohammed, another
American, born in Florida, American citizen. So Obama
murdered three, four people. And in fact, it said, I'm going to
read from the CBS, it said we're after he killed in October
14 2011. In Yemen, he killed the kid Abdul, in an extra judicial
killing some US officials called it a mistake. Even the President
has said in some reports to have considered it a bad mistake. The
former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, and
remember him stated that his death was justified.
Adam Curry: And this was all death by drone. Right? That's by
drone.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. They just murdered these people. And. And
in his space, he murdered these people. So the people on the
view, have to say, on the show that Obama, which could be
arrested tomorrow and thrown in jail for murder, no,
Adam Curry: they take an entirely different, unique and
very interesting approach.
Unknown: Well, Mr. Frame court won't hear oral arguments until
the end of April. Now, I just, you know, just look at a
scenario where the Supreme Court says, Yes, he has that he has
all those rights. He is immune from everything. You know, what
Joe Biden could do since he is presently president. He could
throw every Republican in jail. I mean, he could I mean, this is
not what this means is this, he can do anything. Yeah, he could
dismiss everybody's debt. There's a whole bunch of great
stuff that could happen. But let's really look at what this
means.
kicking the can down the road, though. They they're not taking
up this case immediately. What's their motivation, then? If they
if we all know that we can't do what you just said, because of
the extreme power that a president would have? What is
the motivation for not doing it right away? Unfortunately, some
people are saying the motivation is that there are certain
conservative justices that have been appointed by Trump, they
want to help him. And because we know the end result is if this
case is not resolved, by the time of the election, and he God
forbid, becomes the President of the United States. The Justice
Department policy is that you cannot indict nor put on trial,
a sitting president. Right. And so it's out of jail. But it's
his Get Out of Jail Free card.
No, no, I'm saying Biden could this is a slippery slope. It was
it was what's good for the good. I
also will say is they're listening to these arguments in
April, the end of their term is in June, right? They returned
again, I believe in October. The Bush v Gore case happened real
quick.
Do you remember that?
How to work real fast that
was the J democracy died
Adam Curry: well, what a day,
John C Dvorak: it was did if that was the day democracy died,
why are you even doing this show?
Adam Curry: So I just like the the flipping it on its head and
saying, Well, you know, if if Trump has immunity, then Joe
Biden can just get rid of everybody's debt can throw all
Republicans in jail. This this program is not good for your
health. It's hard for me to even I mean, I can feel the effects
just playing the clips. This is really dumbing down the American
population. And they're popular that a lot of people watch it.
John C Dvorak: What is the deal? What is the deal? The deal is
with his new hairdo. That scatters sides are cut off and
she's got her hair. Way back. What is this? She's wearing?
He's got a mullet. Yeah. What is this? Look? It's cool. Ask Moe,
he's an expert on hair hairstyles.
Adam Curry: We don't touch the third rail of black woman's
hair, that's very bad rail to touch. Okay, so here's what
everyone's talking about online. It's none of this. None of this.
None of this is being discussed. Here's what's real. Here's
what's really grabbed everybody's attention. And I
have an opinion on it. This guy named Ian Carroll, who's just a
dude on x. He's the one that has the most compelling version of
it, and his videos are receiving millions of views on the x. And
this is about the Diddy lawsuit. It
Unknown: just got the Jeffrey Epstein of the music and
entertainment industry. The new lawsuit that just dropped
against Diddy is massive. And it has photos. It has videos,
names, names, and there's so much here that it's never going
to fit into a single video. So I'm going to do a quick overview
in this video. And then I'm going to do a couple of parts
breaking down all the different aspects of what's come out so
far. We're talking crime scenes, we're talking photo evidence of
celebrities like Cuba Gooding Jr. We're talking record label
executives. We're talking hidden cameras in every room in the
house, getting recordings of celebrities, executives,
politicians at parties with celebrities and underage girls
with drinks being spiked with drugs. It goes all the way back
to the murder of Tupac and baby. We're talking about the entire
rap and hip hop industry and the whole music industry at large.
So what's happened just now is that this man Rodney Jones, who
is a music producer that worked with Sean Combs, who is Diddy,
he just filed this lawsuit, and he didn't just file it against
did he filed against the executives at all the companies
associated and against the company's like Universal Music
Group says lawyers claim that he has secured hundreds of hours of
footage and audio recordings of Diddy and his staff and his
guests engaging in serious illegal activity. So
Adam Curry: this is salacious. Everybody loves it. We got Cuba
Gooding Jr. We've got supposedly Usher all these people who are
all involved in what the music industry has known forever to it
because the root of this is Clive Davis, Clive Davis, who
had certain point came out and said, Hey, everybody, I'm
bisexual. Really, Clive, we need to put CI and all of this
salaciousness comes through from from that route of Clive Davis
and Diddy being gay, please, this is nothing new. But we now
have all of this evidence and and they've named all the
executives of the record companies and the sub labels and
the sub labels of the sub labels and the publishing companies. So
it's going to be it's going to capture everyone's imagination.
What this guy is doing I don't have any further clips is he's
connecting this to the Whitney Webb reporting on Epstein and J.
Edgar Hoover, which is specious at best. As as you and I have
discussed generally disproven disproven that you know that
there's pictures of him in a dress pictures of him committed
fellatio that actually is all fake. There is no picture. And
by the way, there's more evidence J. Edgar Hoover was
blacker than that he was you know that he was homosexual?
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. And But what this does is two things.
One, it distracts from the actual Epstein case because now
everyone will be crazy about this. This is your controlled
opportunists that work. And the second thing it does is it
distracts from Taylor Swift being a Satanist. The true and I
was wondering
John C Dvorak: where you're gonna go with this because I'm,
I knew about all this gonna bring into showbiz stuff because
you know, Adam, he so wishes he was in the business. Oh,
Adam Curry: boy. It was so much fun. Don't drop the soap in the
business. Yeah, no, it distracts from the true evil which is the
women in show business particularly in the music
business, who are Wiccans. They are witches, they're doing all
kinds of creepy stuff. They're devil worshippers and, and sadly
they've they've captured Taylor Swift as far as I can tell, and
and so this is probably them. They're like Hey, Lee
that's what's going on here. So Taylor is safe, stay for a
while, while everyone else focuses on Diddy and did he is
going down down down down down down so you can rest assured
everybody you don't have to do much else you can just calm down
it's all good that's
John C Dvorak: good I'm sure calm down
Adam Curry: this not a
John C Dvorak: rock and roll pre show person is going to be more
than pleased and
Adam Curry: you're gonna see Whitney Webb going insane and
appearing everywhere talking about how she invented all this
and it's all the Jewish mafia that's the Whitney with your
weight good speaking of controlled opportunists there's
there's number one as far as I'm concerned and be very careful
John C Dvorak: doing your due diligence in Chile or wherever
the hell
Adam Curry: we Chile we have to be very careful very careful of
a lot of people out there.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, anyone with dangerous anyone?
Adam Curry: Anyone who does video with their podcasts that
are dangerous. Yeah. The me that's a giveaway if you got a
podcast in his video, you're dangerous. It's just no good.
Except Joe, of course. Something happened Oh, see, where are you?
What do you want to do something big pharma stuff.
John C Dvorak: I have some CDC stuff and but I also have a
three by three did about the Israeli situation that probably
because we're not going to talk about it. I don't think except
for this possibility. We can jump to that war.
Adam Curry: We've done so much war.
John C Dvorak: We can skip it for now.
Adam Curry: We can I don't want to skip it. It's probably
important. But it's the clips two minutes long, or they also
just get so long.
John C Dvorak: Take a look and see what you think. Let
Adam Curry: me see. Let me see how long we just look at the ABC
137 It's just well let's let's do some let's do some big pharma
stuff. First, let's do your CDC clips because
John C Dvorak: of the CDC was doing with new guidelines new
CD, this new CDC woman Cindy or whatever the hell Her name is
Cohen, Amy, Amy Cohen, Amy, Amy. And she's just like a kind of a
girl who couldn't make the cheerleading team. So she's on
the pom pom squad. That that that one? That one and so she's
there trying to answer questions on PBS. She answers nothing.
She's just a she's a drone promoting the vaccine. They're
never going to let up on this. Heaven forbid.
Adam Curry: Cute clip. Is that what you're saying here? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: new CDC guidance. COVID PBS,
Unknown: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has
changed its COVID guidance for when people need to isolate.
It's part of the CDC is broader recommendations on respiratory
illnesses. The agency now says people who've tested positive
can return to normal activities when symptoms are improving. And
they've been fever free for at least 24 hours without
medication. But the CDC also encourages people with improving
symptoms to take additional prevention measures like mask
wearing and keeping distance in public. CDC Director Dr. Mandy
Cohen joins me
Adam Curry: now. Hello, and welcome, Mandy, not a mandate
Unknown: to the news. Our thanks for joining us. Thanks for
having me. Great to be here. So this is the first time you've
shifted guidance or isolation guidance since 2021. That was
when it was reduced from 10 days to five days. Why these changes
in guidance right now? What's that based on? Well, we are in a
different place. And that's after a lot of hard work to make
sure that we had the tools to protect each other against
Adam Curry: tools tools.
John C Dvorak: He asked a specific question. You changed
it from 10 days to five days to now you got just a couple of
days. What is this based on? And then your answers this question?
Adam Curry: Well, no, she's on the pom pom squad, not the not a
librarian here leadership.
Unknown: Why these changes in guidance right now? What's that
based on? Well, we are in a different place. And that's
after a lot of hard work.
Adam Curry: I love that we're in a different place the science is
in the science is settled, come on,
Unknown: make sure that we had the tools to protect each other
against COVID. What we've been seeing is lower hospitalizations
and lower deaths even as we saw high levels of virus spread. So
this past winter season, we saw both in our wastewater data and
others that virus spreading in our community. But luckily those
trends in hospitalizations and death continued to go down. And
what we were seeing is that really vaccination is what is
continuing to protect folks. So we wanted to unify our guidance
today not just for COVID, but across COVID, flu and RSV so
folks could have common sense practical solutions that they
could use every day that they can remember that they can
implement across a range of viruses, you're really
Adam Curry: going to tell me that we need for Eclipse to
point out that We've gone from 10 days to five days to just
receive or do whatever you want. Is that how long it took this
Mandy?
John C Dvorak: Man, the second Mandy clip is only 59 seconds.
Unknown: But there were some states as you know, like
California, Oregon, others that began relaxing their COVID
isolation guidance as early as last year counter to your
guidance at the time is this sort of the CDC kind of chasing
catching up to where people have already been for all know,
while? Well, we know what we were looking at this guidance
last summer and seeing if we can move in this direction. And then
the virus changed in last August. And we wanted to make
sure we were through another winter season that those trends
in lower hospitalizations and lower deaths continued to hold.
And the good news is they did. And so we feel comfortable
moving forward now. But remember, like always, this
virus is changing. If anything changes in terms of our
effectiveness of vaccines or treatment. We may be back here
needing to change guidance, but we feel comfortable aligning
across COVID flu and RSV for some simple solutions like
vaccination, like making sure you get treatment and staying
home when you're sick.
John C Dvorak: So this, we don't have to play the rest of it. But
it goes on with this poor woman on PBS struggling to get
something out of this some some actual
Adam Curry: fact nothing out, it gets nothing out.
John C Dvorak: She's just gonna go on and on by getting
vaccinated. And that's about it, that the message is get
vaccinated, and we're going to have a new virus keeps changing.
So there's going to be a new vaccine, you can play the
actually the last clip will summarize everything where she
says there's new stuff coming out and get a new vaccine if you
haven't gotten one already. And that's basically the message.
Unknown: To be fair, the vaccine can obviously prevent serious
illness, but it doesn't prevent spread of COVID Will people
isolating for a shorter amount of time potentially add to the
spread of the virus? Oh
Adam Curry: man do they hear themselves at please. If you if
you're within the sound of my voice, a vaccine that doesn't
prevent spread and doesn't prevent you getting it is not a
vaccine, it's not a
John C Dvorak: raka shit is what it is. Well, the
Unknown: good news is when you get vaccinated, right, you are
both less likely to go into the hospital, but you're also less
likely to get long COVID. And you are less likely to get this
virus overall, right. So less virus spreading means that we
are protecting others. And now we want we're protecting others
plenty to give simple, clear kinds of guidance so that folks
can remember them. That can be really actionable. Because if
more people are using the guidance, we think that's going
to benefit everyone. And look, the folks who are vulnerable.
They were top of mind. For us at CDC, as we were thinking about
this guidance, we all know someone who's at higher risk
over 65 are immunocompromised, I have them in my own family. So
we were thinking about them as we did this guidance, we think
we found the balance to protecting the most vulnerable
and having this clear and simple way for most folks to protect
themselves. You also said this week that Americans 65 and older
should get an additional dose of that latest COVID vaccine this
spring. That relaxing the guidance. At the same time.
You're asking people to go and get another booster sends
conflicting
Adam Curry: messages. No, no, we just want to kill old people.
Unknown: No. And in fact, our guidance today the very first
core strategy that we want to emphasize to folks is about
being up to date on your vaccine vaccines is what we are
continuing to see protect folks here. So we want to make sure
folks are getting those updated vaccines. And I want to preview
for folks that we know this COVID virus continues to change
and we need to stay ahead of it. And we've already started the
process CDC and FDA to update the COVID vaccine for later this
year. So right now folks should start planning for this fall to
get both an updated COVID vaccine and an updated flu shot.
What
Adam Curry: does that mean? Start planning that's it. Put it
in my calendar. Do I have to save for it? Do I have to alert
the neighbors wake the children? Let's plan for it.
John C Dvorak: You got to start planning for fall.
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, this is still on deck
Unknown: this morning friends family and fans are remembering
Craig row. A former star linebacker for the University of
Michigan losing his battle with colon cancer
at Michigan has forever been defined by Guy stepping up every
year. He
was just 33 row was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer
last year. His death part of a troubling trend colon cancer
another deadliest cancer for men under age 50 And the second
deadliest cancer for women under 50. Doctors say obesity and
lifestyle can play a role.
What we're concerned about clearly are lifestyle food or
environmental exposures that may be the err, but it's hard to
know what we do know is this that for people under the age of
50 diagnosed with colon cancer, about a third of them have some
remarkable family history that might have given us a clue as to
that having occurred.
That's why doctors say it's so important to get screened
beginning at age 45. But Americans are not getting the
message 80% of people ages 45 to 50 are not getting screened.
Many of them dreading a colonoscopy,
there are options to do it in your own home. Within sales jobs
Adam Curry: sales job there it is sales job for the cola guard
for Yeah, for pooping the bag reading
Unknown: a colonoscopy,
there are options to do it in your own home within just a few
minutes, and with just as much accuracy as a colonoscopy, those
with a family
Adam Curry: history of which is a lie. It's a lie because they
say this, they say in the ad and the real ad said this paid
promotion they say could be false positive could be false
negative, but you know, pooping the bag people just poop in a
bag. It's good. You could do it a whole privates.
John C Dvorak: delivered to your front door, open the bag. See,
Unknown: as a colonoscopy,
those with a family history of cancer or who experienced
symptoms should talk to their doctor about getting screened
earlier. Symptoms include a change in bowel habits, rectal
bleeding, abdominal discomfort, fatigue and unexplained weight
loss. Doctors say colorectal cancer can develop silently. So
early detection is key. And if caught early, the survival rate
is more than 90%.
Adam Curry: So this is just horrible. The medical community
still does not understand how, where this troubling trend comes
from. We can't figure it out. It could be lifestyle, it could be
your die. Oh, well, if it's your diet, then let's just go to the
ozempic, shall we? By the
Unknown: beginning of 2023. One Medicine was on everyone's lips.
Adam Curry: Oh,
Unknown: three a diabetes drug. With an astonishing side effect.
Adults lost up to 14 pounds. Since then, there's been a
constant drumbeat in the news ozempic who's affected as Empik
and frenzied buzz on social media. Once you hit two clicks,
you are good to go. And it's not just ozempic there's Manjaro for
diabetes, and with govi and zap bound to treat obesity, all
promoting significant weight loss. It's estimated up to 5
million Americans are taking them a staggering figure
considering the weekly injections need refrigeration,
and possibly a lifetime commitment.
Adam Curry: This is a special that ran on NBC called the Big
Shot. And there's some very troubling trends in the
promotion of the GLP. One products. The what we'll get to
in a moment is the incessant discrediting of compounded forms
of this, because you know, you have to have the brand name
otherwise, what are you doing? And I think that even though you
know, this is part promotion and part discredit tation. But for
Under no circumstances, should social media influencers be
allowed to hock drugs online? I mean, that's there needs to be
some kind of kibosh on this troubling trend, and tick
Unknown: tock, it's on social media, it's on Facebook, it's on
TV, etc. everybody around you is taking it. And then the rise of
telehealth. Yeah, it's like all these things are feeding into
this.
I think it's unique, so lucrative market and it's
growing very quickly. We've seen that with other categories of
drugs. What's different now is you have telehealth, you know,
you you have a cash pay market. And you have the social media,
which has created sort of a cultural phenomenon around these
drugs. And it's harder for a regulatory process to keep up
with that. Our team
wanted to see how easy it would be to get compounded semaglutide
So we put it to the test, we picked telehealth sites that
didn't require any bloodwork. We use our real names and real body
stats. By these metrics. None of us should have qualified for GLP
one medications on one site, all I had to do was input some basic
info, like my height, weight and set up a call with a doctor. No,
I've never tried this before. After a seven minute consult.
I'm qualified. Okay, five questions and that's it. I was
approved, right? Think of the eight sites we reached out to to
approved us to take compounded semaglutide None of us saw a
doctor in person. Compounded semaglutide is currently allowed
by the FDA, but it's not approved. And that's an
important difference. There are dozens of pharmacies across the
country mixing their own versions, sometimes adding other
ingredients like B 12. And while some of the facilities are
inspected by the FDA, that drugs they make or not. So
Adam Curry: this is part because of course the you what you want
is a telehealth provider. You already heard that it's very
easy. Just five questions. Law Whatever be they'll prescribe it
to you, but don't get the compounded. No, no, make sure
you have an approved telehealth provider who gives you the good
stuff. You know the real stuff, the stuff that has the brand
name on it, and there's something up with Oprah and her
leaving weightwatchers after they acquired a telehealth
provider, I have two clips. Let's see if we can figure it
Unknown: out. shares of the company that used to be known as
weightwatchers lost 18% of their value yesterday after a major
announcement. Oprah Winfrey has decided to leave its board of
directors ending her long term relationship with the company
link Yano has warned the potential impact on the famous
brand. Let's let 2016 be the year my best buddies
for nearly a decade. Oprah Winfrey has been the face of
weightwatchers joining the board in 2015 when she acquired a 10%
stake in the company. But Wednesday the company announced
the media mogul was stepping down. Despite leaving the board.
Winfrey said in his statement, I have been a longtime supporter
of this worthy organization. And I am proud to continue my
support. He in December, Winfrey revealed to People Magazine that
she uses a weight loss drug as a maintenance tool. And she was
quote done with a shaming you under Dr. Melanie J sat on a
panel with Winfree in fall of 2023.
We talked about how it's not the easy way out you still have to
manage the medications long term, you still have to make
changes to your lifestyle.
Although Winfrey hasn't said which medication she's taking
drugs like ozempic and would go v have soared in popularity in
recent years. In fact, Weight Watchers recently launched a
program geared toward people who use such weight loss drugs,
you don't necessarily have to work as much on hunger cues,
because the medications help with those but you do have to
make sure you're getting enough protein and enough fruits and
vegetables. And so I think people still need a lot of
support to
do that Winfrey herself said in a statement, she looks forward
to continuing to advise and collaborate with Weight
Watchers. She also plans to donate her weightwatchers stock
to the National Museum of African American History and
Culture. In Part Weight Watchers said to eliminate any perceived
conflict of interest around her taking weight loss medication.
Adam Curry: Okay, before I get to Gail, who was her fanny pack
wearing camping buddy. The She donated her shares to the
National Museum of African American History and Culture to
avoid any conflict of interest. Well, I find that odd because
she is on the museum council. So that seems like a conflict of
interest right there. She just gave it to something that she's
on the on the board of the Council, which is also if you
donate it, I'm sure that's a tax deduction.
John C Dvorak: Well, a big one.
Adam Curry: This council is interesting. Our buddy Ted
leonsis is on the council. That's interesting. Let's see
who else is on here. We have the Mellon Foundation Walgreens
boots Alliance, we've got Laura Bush, oh, she's dead. Oh, well.
We have no, I'm just kidding. Different bushes dead. We got
the CEO of Merck, former chairman and CEO of Merck. We've
got some bankers. I'm president of Rutgers University. This is a
huge drinking club. Yeah, some army people in there the Ford
Foundation. So yeah, there's nothing going on there. Let's
see what Gail has to say about this. Yeah,
Unknown: I've heard from reliable sources. And Oprah has
big plans covering viable sources.
Adam Curry: You mean, you're you're passing on what Oprah
wants everybody to know.
Unknown: Yeah, I've heard from reliable sources. And Oprah has
big plans coming up. And I think when she donated her stocks, to
which people
don't do by the way, people don't never walk away with the
stock, your money, like
$12 million, that she didn't have to do, right, she didn't
have to do because she could have
John C Dvorak: a tax liability and she wanted to reduce it.
It's no big deal,
Unknown: and then still kept the money. But she wanted to
eliminate any any perception that she has. Now, whatever her
big announcement is, ah,
Adam Curry: here it is. You see, she's up to something she wanted
to eliminate any perception. So it's it's been good $12 million
in tax benefit, whatever, any perception for what she's about
to announce something big is coming from Oprah
Unknown: that she wanted to eliminate any any perception
that she has now whatever her big announcement that she's
going to make, I'm thinking very soon. Yeah, she didn't want
anybody to think that she's doing it because it's a money
grab, right? Yeah. And even you gotta give him sure about that
because
it'd be my way
but I say this all the time.
Adam Curry: The legal focus on the stock not on the big
announcement yet not on the money grab
Unknown: the right thing, even when no one is watching. Yeah,
and I tell this story, we weren't traveling and you know,
you can't have more than x $1,000 in cash. She had $10,000
in cash on her as one does. And as one does the customs people
came on I said, Well, you know, what does she does
Adam Curry: as one does she attempt? By the way, that's a
long standing rule. If you have more than $10,000, I think, is
it 10,000 Or more than 10,000? I believe it's 10,000. Or more
than you have to declare that you have to say, Yeah, I'm
trying oh my god, I got 10 A cut in geez, man. And we did he, she
had
Unknown: $10,000 in cash on her as one does. And she does and
when I said well, you can just give me some give Andre, some
you know, her inner circle, and we'll give it back to you
because I don't believe in paying for your own money. Yeah,
I said no one will know she'll goes, she said, but I'll know.
She's,
Adam Curry: she's honest, this is this is Gail, letting you
know, that whatever, Oprah's got coming next. She's honest. It's
not a money grab. It's not a conflict of interest. She's
coming in with something big. It's not a money grab. It's not
she's honest. She reports her money or
Unknown: that? Yes, I have $10,000. I declared it, of
course. And I just and I am a law abiding citizen, I would
like to say but it just, it just strikes me that even when no one
is watching, she does, right. So once again, to me, this is
evidence for that for the museum. Of
Adam Curry: course, no, this is evidence that something is
coming that is completely off the charts. When it comes to
conflict of interest, and she's she's going to do something with
some weight loss drug. And it's big. It's big. And just so you
know, Oprah's honest, she is honest. Never doubt her honesty.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you have nothing to predict. I do want to
say something about the first clip you played, which was the
little bitty mention of the fact that if you start up on ozempic
You have to take it for the rest of your life.
Unknown: It's just to be on it for your entire life. They
prescribe it with that in mind
for faith and and our parents. They were worth a shot. Where do
you give yourself I give
myself the shot in my stomach. I don't even like to hear the
clip. It's done. Well, you just tell me what you're on and how
long you've been on.
I've been on Manjaro since May ozempic. Since July, whatever
she knows me. He's been on he's no he switches. He goes between
Manjaro and Fitch.
They're all in a class of drugs called GLP. One receptor
agonists.
Adam Curry: You can switch it's all good. What you never hear is
you've got to stop eating the crap that you're eating. Please
stop eating crap. They never mentioned that. Maybe that'll be
Oprah's next big thing. Here's a weight loss drug but stop eating
crap. By the way we got I do
John C Dvorak: have a prediction. Okay, bottles are
opening up. It's a chain of hamburger stands.
Adam Curry: It's as good as any. We got a lot of notes from
people about the antidepressant off label prescription of SSRIs
and antidepressants. Yes, we did. I have I can share a couple
of them briefly. All anonymous Of course your comment about
antidepressants being prescribed for other uses amongst youth at
32 which I don't know if it's still count as youth while you
do to me. In January I was prescribed with an
antidepressant me tripped Alene along with a non steroidal anti
inflammatory and a muscle relaxant by a physician at the
Clinic at the University where I'm doing my PhD. I was
scandalized when I learned that amitriptyline is an
antidepressant and that the physician prescribed it to me
without even telling me it was antidepressant. Almost took it
without looking it up. Thank God for your show. You're welcome.
Here's another one. Yes, some are used for pain management I
used I used one for a short time not knowing it was an
antidepressant. My wife said I was unbearable to be around
because it made me irrational at times. I quit it quickly. Then
we have a nurse boots on the ground. I've been a psychiatric
nurse for 17 years, we have no reason to doubt that peros
zechstein cerros that and flu exit team Prozac. We're famous
for igniting impulsive conditions when people started
killing others or themselves. I've seen a boy who killed his
disabled brother because he couldn't control himself. I've
seen a girl who he would have to watch constantly because
otherwise she would kill herself. This is a known side
effect. It is only in the first three weeks but it is legal.
About that. This is all known it's all known. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it also makes your vote Democrat does you know
that part. You mentioned we mentioned that
Adam Curry: I think yes, I think that was the My wife said I was
unbearable and irrational I think that was
oh, we laugh but it's really quite sad.
John C Dvorak: It really is sad but we do laugh. We
Adam Curry: have to laugh about it. I mean if you can't laugh
about oh, we finally got the clip from although it's not that
spectacular from the Law and Order Vax party
John C Dvorak: from at least I would count six people yes six
Adam Curry: or seven people and hit 10 seconds is the only party
says it's a party there are people masks and people not
masking. There's a dude walking around with a syringe and here
we go.
John C Dvorak: So what are you into these days rich? And don't
say plastics, plastics, sir. Are you ready for your injection?
Adam Curry: There you go. Are you ready for your injection
sir? It was a little little anticlimactic. It
John C Dvorak: was it was not good. You had the guts to do
that. It was anticlimactic.
Adam Curry: But what it is is what it is.
John C Dvorak: I have an an apple bomb clip. She
Adam Curry: just wrote another article in The Atlantic I saw.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah. Well, she's a great staffer there now.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, she's a super elite. She She travels in
all the circles of spook
Unknown: and Applebaum writer for The Atlantic had this to say
about Donald Trump's strange acquiescence to Russia. Listen
to this, and then let's talk about it. Trump
has a lot of motives here. He
keeps very quiet about Russia and very quiet about Ukraine. He
knows that Russia is unpopular, and rightly so given the scenes
that we've just seen. He knows that Ukraine is still popular
polling shows Ukraine is popular in the United States, the cause
of helping Ukraine is supported by most Americans. There's a
majority in Congress for supporting Ukraine, the White
House supports Ukraine. And yet he has ulterior motives. And,
you know, we can, you know, I hear versions of them some to do
with oil, some to do with trading with Russia. Some may be
personal, maybe he thinks Putin will help him again, in his
election campaign.
But the point is, we have a leader of the United States
whose loyalties are not to the United States. They're not to
American national interests. They're not to America and
America's alliances,
defending Russia, instead of America's interests, and our
allies, or our interest should be automatically disqualifying,
but for some reason, in this current Republican Party, and in
this political environment, it's not even over it's not over not
even just overlooked. It's embraced. And so we really have
to do our part, this election cycle to make sure that someone
like Trump who has proven to be a traitor not only to our
country but to our democracy and now to our allies cannot win in
November
blue and you don't know where this thing news Why don't you
get your get fix?
Adam Curry: That's right, everybody. We can play all the
old jingles. I'm happy about that. Well, there's one other
presidential candidate who needs to be discussed briefly. Bobby
the OP. Now is he on the ballot in any I know he's on the ballot
in Utah can he can people keep asking me can I vote for him? I
John C Dvorak: think in deal in the presidential election, I
think he'll be on most ballot he
Adam Curry: will be on most ballots. Okay. Well, he he did
something on CNBC which I think makes him electable for a lot of
people. It was just he was it was actually pretty decent I
thought and I would like to share it it's only a minute and
a half Bobby the app on Bitcoin Bitcoin you said you
Unknown: you spoke at a conference you bought it you
bought something for your kids last year? You've more than
doubled your money if you're still holding Are you still
holding I've been like let's just have a little fun here to
end the SEC.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm still holding my kids are very, very
happy about it. We're what's bitcoins
Unknown: real role? There are members of Congress, both
parties I believe that think it should be banned. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I mean, they want to ban because they're being paid
by BlackRock and Morgan and all the big bank, globalist bank or
banking monopolies that are making money on inflation and
making money on by the Fed printing money and but American
people the American middle class is getting rolled and the off
ramp from that you know, from the money printing machine is
Bitcoin because it is hard currency. And we need to make it
transactionally available to the middle class. We need to make
sure that people want to have print Take themselves up against
inflation can have this but also that they have transactional
freedom at the government is not, you know, able now to
digitalize our currencies and like they did in in Canada. And
when the truckers disobey, you know, when the truckers
protested peacefully, their bank accounts were shut down. Well,
you couldn't pay their mortgages, they couldn't pay for
their children's education, the government could control their
speech by controlling their transactional freedom and you
know, transactional freedom is as important as freedom of
speech and you only get that from Bitcoin we're not going to
get that you know, as long as the government controls our
digitalized currency. All it needs to do now is join the
Libertarian Party.
John C Dvorak: A couple of things there one is not hard
currency hard currencies gold and silver. Well,
Adam Curry: I'm not gonna get in an argument with you about hard
currency it is hard currency. Okay, by that by definite wall
you said you started by definition. It is hard currency
it is hard okay, make
John C Dvorak: so here Oh, that's interesting. I like that
little twist. Hard to make that's what so is a pumpkin pie
then what is harder sometimes hard to make? Especially got an
oven
Adam Curry: John's new pumpkin coin everybody so
John C Dvorak: now so let's go to let's go to the downside of
this which you didn't even think about okay, I'm gonna try to
seek this guy. They can do it by slamming Bitcoin and dropping it
back down to 10,000 or who knows what and blame him for the loss
and say look at this guy's he recommended everyone go into
Bitcoin and liquid look what happened? I would be very afraid
if I was if I was supporting Kennedy and Bitcoin at this
point after what he did because they somebody's out to get
Kennedy.
Adam Curry: I love this that he's positive about Bitcoin. I
really do. But you know, I'm just I'm pro Bitcoin.
John C Dvorak: Well, you're happy as a clam because Bitcoin
is up to 62,000 or something like that. So it was back to its
Adam Curry: highs. Yes. And I believe it will go much higher.
As you know, of
John C Dvorak: course you do. You wouldn't be in it if you
didn't think that way. That's right.
Adam Curry: Bobby The up has a shot now. I think he has a shot
I think I think I think it's a good move. What else is he going
to do? Who else is he going to appeal to?
John C Dvorak: I don't know they really cordoned him off. I mean
talking about I got a guy with a lot of good messages that's been
marginalized. We mean he should have been running against Biden
the Democratic Party should be ashamed
Adam Curry: they should be absolutely they completely
screwed him cut him out of the deal and and won't give him any
protection to boot.
John C Dvorak: Which is really scummy thing he's got scumbags
so maybe
Adam Curry: just call him Bitcoin Bobby from now on maybe
that's a better a better term Bitcoin Bobby. Because it
defines him now that for me RFK Jr. is now Bitcoin Bobby. We
have been on this very podcast which does not feature video.
Which which? That way you know that we're the real deal. We
have been talking about pig butchering for months.
Unknown: months
Adam Curry: Do you remember our pig butchering conversations?
No. Yes. Pig butcher. Yes. We even took a call live on the on
the show. We did these are the text messages that come in Hi,
I'm this hot Asian chick. How you doing? What? Are you going
to pick me up? Are we playing tennis today? You're supposed to
say what what? And then they get you into some phony crypto scam.
What actually they get you to a website where you're buying
Bitcoin Believe it or not. And and it's off the charts and
you're winning and if it's not Bitcoin, some other coin, and
it's just a front and they've taken all your money. And they
do it for months and months and months. Well, they finally have
have figured out where this is happening. It's
John C Dvorak: how long does it take to find any of these online
scammers? Oh,
Adam Curry: well, there's a whole there's I'm sorry. Oh,
wait, a
John C Dvorak: lot of them are over the phone. I get phone
calls all the time a couple of times a day with some bogus you
know, offer usually to take 50 I get 50% off on my PGD Bill, I'm
from pg&e the purchasers they're not from PG anything barely
speak English.
Adam Curry: No, but this is different. This does not they're
no calls this starts with you're not annoying. No,
John C Dvorak: I'm I'm just saying how long does it take?
Yeah, to catch these criminals?
Adam Curry: Well, they were uncatchable because they were in
scam factories. Yeah, scam factories.
Unknown: Now last month, the DW investigation revealed
widespread human rights abuse. is at what are being called scam
factories on the Myanmar Thai border 1000s of human
trafficking victims are trapped in large compounds where they're
forced to take part in online cryptocurrency scams that target
people in Europe, the US and China. Now, if they refuse,
they're tortured, allegedly or sold to other factories. Now,
China, Thailand and Myanmar have rescued more than 1000 people.
And I just wanted to clarify, so we're talking about scam
factories here. So these are places where people are forced
to to get on the phone and trick people into doing something they
don't want to do. Can you just find out exactly
so why we are calling them victims is because these people
who are forced to do these drugs are being trafficked into these
compounds in Myanmar and other countries. And they have been
trained and forced to reach out to people in Europe in the US in
China to build up a relationship and then to persuade them to
invest mostly in cryptocurrency fake websites, and then they're
leaving them with and the people lost a lot of money, which was
subsequent bachelor, really
Adam Curry: big butchering. There it is. And so sadly, these
these are slaves. So you know, whenever we go like, hey, you
know, I'm not gonna get the one of those text messages. Like,
oh, I recognize your number, but I don't have you my phonebook.
Who are you? And you know, I say hey, I don't I'm not interested
in your, in your scam, your crypto scam, and they get really
mad at you and start calling you names. But that's now now I feel
bad because they're their slaves. You almost want to help
them out. 1000s They have pictures these are these are
huge compounds.
John C Dvorak: Who dreams up these disabilities? You're good
at management.
Adam Curry: Definitely. Quick update on the chlor chloro aquat
that has been found in oat products like Cheerios and
little report of course you get no follow up from the M five M.
Little report here. Oat Miller's recommended not to use
manipulator. So apparently this a quorum aquat just exactly as
our producer said we're using this product called manipulator
on oats and that's what was getting it into our food supply.
Who was watching these people who was watching the stuff that
was put on the market.
John C Dvorak: Now they're too busy pushing the vaccine.
Exactly. Exactly.
Adam Curry: Your no agenda show was watching out for you. That's
who's looking out for you. Yeah, yeah. A quick rest in peace for
Bob Heil. Yeah, kilo Nyko. India Delta. Yes. I mean, back in the
day are the first mics we all use for our podcasts was the
Heil pr 40. But I would say we do a disservice by saying that
Bob's supplied the ham radio industry and the podcast
industry. I mean, he did entire sound systems for Grateful Dead
The Who? Joe Walsh. Friend Frampton.
John C Dvorak: We had a interview with him back and show
I think 728 724 Something like that. Oh,
Adam Curry: did we put that on the air? We put the interview on
the on the air.
John C Dvorak: Glad you're keeping up.
Adam Curry: I can't remember. I can't remember. Did we? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Oh, it was in the archives
Adam Curry: that we did we do a special with Bob or was it just
it was
John C Dvorak: one of those filler shows that I do a couple
of interviews. I didn't when was Scully and Heil. And that day?
Adam Curry: Oh, all right. scaly. Oh, my it was I forgot
about that one in the
John C Dvorak: 700. So it was so long ago, you'd easily forget.
Adam Curry: Wow, well, Bob, he was young too. What was he? He
was
Unknown: 82 I
Adam Curry: think that's not very old or 8383 83
John C Dvorak: is a nice guy. I
Adam Curry: never met him but I liked his product and I still
use the Tina uses the the Heil PR 40 Sounds good for her voice.
Thank you. It's got a good it's got a good range. Yeah, very
good range. Thank you to all the producers who also calculated
that no way. Was there ever a Leap Day pod pa show day? For no
agenda? Wow. The last I know, we got great people.
John C Dvorak: We got great nerds out there. Hey, when we
think when we take a look at
Adam Curry: the last time. A leap year was on a show day was
2004. That was a Sunday show. Of course we didn't have the show
in 2004. The next time it will happen. So the next you get
ready, put it in your calendar 2033 3020 33
John C Dvorak: That's the next magic number.
Adam Curry: Yes, then Next time and leap year will happen on a
show day. Wow. And I think we should we should hold up for it.
John C Dvorak: Okay, that'd be a special show we'll have to get a
special donation amount I'm already working on a kind of a
gimmick
Adam Curry: with inflation at that point it'll be dead $20,000
With that I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning
to you the man who put the seat in the new comers ladies
gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end one only Mr.
Johnson
John C Dvorak: the number one in your industry and currently in
the morning shift seabass and ground feed near subs in the
water.
Adam Curry: And in the morning to the trolls and the troll room
Hold on a second trolls me count.
Well, okay, good news. Last Sunday was 20 103. Trolls
listening live were up by 721 10. This is going in the
right direction, we've got a positive trend, a positive troll
trend, I'm liking that a lot trolls, which you can join a
troll room.io. Now you don't want to know people, you may
want to hang around. Because a lot of fun stuff happens in this
portion of the show. All kinds of things pop up that are
unexpected. So I'm just saying. And if you'd like good news, you
definitely want to hang around. Now you can join the trolls any
Thursday or Sunday, you actually want to join troll room.io A
couple hours early. We have the two hour blue show on before
Darren O'Neil who does two hours before we go live, it's actually
24/7 on no agenda stream.com which you can get a troll
room.io Or you can also get and I'm going to promote a new
modern podcast app pod verse, which also alert you when we go
live it has the live stream.
John C Dvorak: Isn't that the one you did last show I
Adam Curry: did fountain on the last show fountain. Today I'm
doing pod verse, there's 16 of them so you can count them all.
And lick them all. Collect them all, you should collect them
all. And what you want to do is you want to support these small
podcasts. That's because they are truly the only avenue left
for freedom of speech. It's not a platform. Maybe one day we'll
get blogs to come back, but seems unlikely at the moment.
But when it comes to freedom of speech, your podcast app is very
important. And it is independent. It is an
independent index that powers it. It's not connected to
anything Silicon Valley. And you can import all your existing
podcasts and you get all the 27 new features, which includes
updating within 90 seconds of publishing of this podcast, you
will be alerted in your podcast app that alone should make you
say hey, I want that I want to be alerted immediately. We are a
value for value podcast. Which I'm proud to say this has become
a term that is being used everywhere now. People don't
even know where it comes from, which I'm I'm kind of proud of
that. I hear people talking about value for value on noster
value for value in the beef industry. At least in the
independent beef industry. People are using this term and
we coined it then we've been using the the concept for 16
years, which excludes creepy corporate money. It excludes
commercials, it excludes levels and tote bags and and, and
subscriptions and all kinds of things that yet no, it's we
don't price it for you, whatever this podcast is worth to you. We
asked you to put that into a number and send that back to us.
But it's not just that it's time talent and treasure. So you can
help us in many different ways. Look at the boots on the ground
will receive and listen to some of the clips that have been
found like so many X six, seven people go through the trouble of
finding the VAX party clip night it didn't pay off the way he
wanted to. But it's still it's a contribution that we appreciate.
We don't have listeners, we don't have an audience. We have
producers and it is your job to return the value with time
talent or treasure. And people who do that constantly are the
no agenda artists they really do a good job. And we can only
choose one of course for each show. We do that by going to no
agenda art generator.com Thank you, sir. pulka tour for setting
that up for us in the new version, which has been around
for well over a decade. And we need to thank the artists who we
chose for the last episode. This was mountain j which I think is
actually lady mountain j because we've misgendered mountain J You
know, we we've we've misgendered mountain Jay several times. And
you know I think we both looked at this and went okay AI clearly
but it was kind of funny. Get the frog leaping over the brown
paper bag. We had a sandwich. And it was it was watercolor. It
was a watercolor. Prompt. I'm sure the prompt was frog jumping
over brown brown bag lunch watercolor. So thank you for all
that effort. Mountain J.
John C Dvorak: Follow one thing I liked the most, which you
nixed away. Men dream with extreme prejudice.
Adam Curry: And which one was that?
John C Dvorak: The dirty Jersey whore Texas is burning clip.
Yes. I did. And I said there's an art that that's a nice piece.
It's a probably it's a pretty it's stunning. It sticks out
like a sore thumb. And you said Not on my watch. Exactly. Never
going to accept this too soon. People in Texas are suffering
and they're mocking it and you went on and on and on. I was
like, okay, okay. Okay.
Adam Curry: We got a note from Nicole. And she says, I know
this won't be run on the show. Well, there you go. boots on the
ground report from my grandmother and my uncle's
houses were both burned completely to the ground. In
Stinnett, Texas she had her home for 60 plus years. Everyone's
okay and they are taken care of and have a home for now. Just a
little comment that this exact same thing happened last year
and my grandma was evacuated. Just this time. It started the
exact same spot this is a yearly thing up here. This time the
winds were just too intense. So please stop with the lasers from
Sky stop with
John C Dvorak: that dreams that stuff up now condemning our
listeners. Oh,
Adam Curry: because Pete Not here. Even in Texas. Oh, this is
just like the Maui fires. No, no, I want to remind everybody
how the Maui fire started which we'll never we'll never hear the
truth. The Maui fire started when the power lines went down.
The power company turned off the power but they were huge
generators for the hotels that had been jacked back into the
grid and they reactivated those lines that were down we have
this on good authority from people who've seen the logs from
the power companies and that there were surges through the
lines that were down that restarted the fire after the
fire department already left. And this and this in Texas this
just happens and no painting your roof blue will not stop the
eye in the sky from zapping you when they do it for real. That
thing that that drives me nuts Oprah had her house or roof
painted blue that's why they didn't burn her house. It can
seriously
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I heard that too
Adam Curry: much. What else did we look out here? You'd like
that was it pretty much now you'd like to count in the drive
thru which I asked if you were on dry does
John C Dvorak: kinda like that I also like brown bag at the
network's piece with In and Out Burger logo but and you'd like
to frog jumping out of the bag was just too silly looking and
well done by whatever art generated was being used. Yeah,
it was really just well done. I think it was cute and funny.
Adam Curry: What I think that when when you use a an AI it
will be helpful to us if you told us which one you used just
so we can know
John C Dvorak: where are they going to put that into where how
are they going to let us know
Adam Curry: in the title you can put it in the title
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I guess you could I just like to I mean
Adam Curry: I'm interested
John C Dvorak: which now when you changed it I had why I have
to because it's
Adam Curry: all AI and everyone's doing ai i mean it's
easier mountain Jay was literally on Mastodon talking
about how she had to change the prompt 100 times to get the
desired results I mean Okay, that's fine but I just like to
John C Dvorak: know I work you can do it by hand some people
some people scare monger I believe uses very little AI I
think he does one so I just like you know I think sometimes can
be just as fast doing it by hand if you're good as prompt
engineering.
Adam Curry: Which I now have a name for prompt to jockey PJs.
John C Dvorak: Like that prompt jockey
Adam Curry: jockey pump prompt jockeys. I just I'm interested
because we have to give into it. AI is clearly
John C Dvorak: who's going to have to but we did already have
two people are
Adam Curry: using me if two artists are using AI that's just
the bottom line this
John C Dvorak: we don't have to We just could get no art. There
Adam Curry: you go. We have to we have to. We have to there's
no way around it. We already did longer go away around it. Thank
you very much mountain James.
John C Dvorak: The curious thing it was once comic strip blogger
who started the whole phenomenon when he was doing it solo and
producing good pieces. You are dead set against all AI art. But
once everyone else started using it was okay. So you really do
hate comic strip blogger.
Adam Curry: Well doesn't everybody. Yeah, I guess. Now
he's kind of, he's gonna send a note to Aaron or please blah
Adam curry from all Mastodon he said horrible things to me. He's
now he's the guy that saying you better get a new job because AGI
is going to take it within a year.
John C Dvorak: AGI is going nowhere fast. Not AGI is going
to be the end of it. None
Adam Curry: of this stuff is the only thing is really working is
audio video and an images. Is this some humor? Images
John C Dvorak: are kicking ass. Yeah, images
Adam Curry: are great. But art Yeah, do you still want to
license our content to one of these LLM bakeries?
John C Dvorak: To me I don't think it's a bad idea if we get
some money.
Adam Curry: Any money?
John C Dvorak: pays us? Yeah, of course. There's
Adam Curry: no one cares.
John C Dvorak: You never know that we have so much good three
hours for like years, 16 years and material about public
advanced current, current affairs. Everything in between
16 years of content is a lot of it has already been moved to
output. Normal output you can read it. I think it'd be great
if somebody offered us some money.
Adam Curry: Well, no one's offering so far. Well, we're
just at the beginning of this. They're given it to read it for
free read it's cleaning up we're not getting anything. Yeah,
believe read it's gonna read
John C Dvorak: it's kind of cleaning up but then once they
go public, and they get their show in? I mean, it's gonna be
one hit of money. And then then what?
Adam Curry: Yeah, what does Reddit have a business model? Do
they make
John C Dvorak: it I know of Yeah, it annoy people see you if
you can get anything from them. They have model.
Adam Curry: Thank you very much to mountain j, we appreciate it.

in our value for value program. And now let's thank some of our
executive and Associate Executive producers. Now here's
how this works. We'd like to thank everybody who returned
value in the amount of $50 or more, and the top so that's 300.
Plus, you also get a credit as an executive producer, which is
just that's exactly how Hollywood works. So you can use
that credit to impress your friends, potential mates. You
can put it on your LinkedIn, put it in your your resume, you can
also open up if you don't have one, an IMDB profile, and to
prove it like a baby. Look at me. I'm an executive producer,

because they're jealous if they had boobs or be no war because
they would all be at home playing with them. I love a

handle this type of responsibility. Also, I want to
answer a question, Sir Kevin, Duke of Luna lover of American
boobs asked yes, they can put squeaky toys in them. I asked my
plastic surgeon but I'm an avid runner. I did not think it would
be appropriate running across the finish line squeaking. Not
to mention the pack of dogs I would have chasing me. You too
are absolutely wonderful. I look forward to the podcast twice a
week. I don't know if there's anyone. I don't know if there's

night long branch firefighter David Phillips says he will
never forget, I started
opening the door and was met by a family. It was a mother, a
father and a daughter, probably like teenage age. And they were
screaming banging on the doors. And as the door opened,
maybe about a quarter of the way. They handed me a lifeless,
baby. He says
since the parents could not speak English, their eldest
daughter had to act as a translator. And once the baby
was placed in his hands, his training instantly kicked in,
I realized that the child was not breathing. It did have a
pulse. The baby did have a pulse. And I immediately went
into what we call back blows to try to dislodge whatever was
obstructing the baby's airway. Because that's the most
important thing. Once we got the airway back, I was able to clear
the airway security airway, and shortly thereafter I felt her
take a breath in my my left hand.
Philip says they immediately gave the infant oxygen and
called the ambulance. Captain Carl Griffin says he is proud of
how the situation was handled and happy they were able to save
a life,
something like this. I think it was great because that family
came to the right place and came to the right people. And because
