No.
0:43
John C Dvorak: So here's the question for you. Oh, and ask
0:46
Adam or just a regular old guy just had Miss asking a random
0:49
question. So I'm listening to all these different shows. And I
0:53
heard this on the rising and I heard on different networks. And
0:56
it goes on and on about the death of Sandra Day O'Connor and
1:01
Henry Kissinger, the two of them and she's all she's the best.
1:04
Yeah, Henry Kissinger was he's the worry miss. He's the worst
1:07
famous guy but he's the worst. He killed millions. And he's a
1:11
war criminal. Yes, sir. When was this? When did he kill millet?
1:17
When did he kill anybody?
1:20
Adam Curry: though? Yeah. Well,
1:21
John C Dvorak: why is he a war criminal? What did he do it? Did
1:24
he specifically do? Do you know? Because I tried looking at it. I
1:26
Adam Curry: do I do. He died while being Jewish. at the wrong
1:30
moment. This is the wrong moment. This is what happened.
1:33
That could be we need you know, Ilan is kind of getting away
1:36
with it. You know, he's like, he's making problems for
1:39
everybody. It's like, we need another Jew to blame. There's no
1:43
better Jew to blame that the dead Jew who can't defend
1:46
himself. Come on. It's obvious anything to keep the genocide Jo
1:51
stuff out of the way. Anything. And they're going after
1:55
everybody. This was this was hilarious. This is Hillary
1:59
Clinton. I even know where she's walking. And there's protesters
2:04
be up there they are the Palestinian flags.
2:29
Hillary, Hillary You can't hide your supporting genocide.
2:34
John C Dvorak: What did Hillary do exist?
2:36
Adam Curry: It just existed existed?
2:38
John C Dvorak: I mean, it's not even Jewish that I know. No,
2:41
Adam Curry: but but she's super listen. This is so off the hook.
2:45
This is exactly the counterbalance we needed in the
2:49
world to have any of the people who have been abused by the
2:53
elites, namely children for the longest time to turn on them and
2:58
they don't know what to do. And now this is so beautiful.
3:03
Turkish radio and television Yeah, they get on to Tik Tok and
3:06
they got these cute young women who are you know, even on even
3:12
on their the Turkish Radio Television homepage, these
3:15
videos are filmed in portrait mode, because they're intended
3:19
for tick tock but they don't even go on television, but they
3:22
try and get them to go viral. And this is the kind of what you
3:26
thought Elon Musk was, was had a problem No, no, no, no.
3:30
Unknown: Oh are famous global brands involved in Israel's war
3:33
on Palestine Gaza, these brands directly helps the Israeli
3:36
economy and Israel economy is the fuel that feeds its military
3:40
and allows it to bomb Gaza and carry out the genocide against
3:44
the Palestinian people.
3:45
Adam Curry: So the idea is these brands. Because they do business
3:49
in or with Israel, they are fueling the genocide. The
3:52
Unknown: world's leading brands reach nearly every household
3:56
around the globe. It is difficult to find a home in
3:59
which at least one of these brands is not present. In 2022.
4:03
Alone, these three companies earn more than $200 billion
4:07
Procter and Gamble has been part of the Israel market since 2001.
4:12
Procter
4:12
Adam Curry: and Gamble has almost all they've been part of
4:15
the Procter and Gamble is a what we call an F M. C. G, fast
4:19
moving consumer goods company. Yeah, paper towels soap. Bah,
4:24
no, they're fueling they're fueling the genocide. Now.
4:27
Unknown: They have gained attention with a significant
4:30
multi million dollar investments in Israeli medical companies and
4:33
research centers. This brand is so popular in Israel that it is
4:38
found in 98% of Israeli households, famous luxury brand
4:43
we return. They invested millions of dollars in Israeli
4:46
diamond production companies, which are the cornerstone of the
4:50
Israeli economy.
4:51
Adam Curry: I didn't know that diamond production was the
4:53
cornerstone of the Israeli economy. Did you know that?
4:57
Well, I
4:57
John C Dvorak: think he did a thing that was recently done as
5:00
Russia yeah Russia,
5:01
Unknown: they are linked to the sale of Israeli ahava products
5:04
that are produced in the occupied Palestinian
5:07
territories. The owner of Louis Vuitton is known for having made
5:11
significant investments in Israel's security companies
5:14
amounting to hundreds of millions
5:16
Adam Curry: of dollars. We futon, Louie, you're a problem.
5:20
Unknown: Next up is hp. According to the BDS movement,
5:23
in addition to supplying technology to the Israeli army
5:26
and police, HP,
5:28
Adam Curry: Microsoft is next. I'm telling you, anything if you
5:32
do business with Israel, you're going to be boycotted.
5:37
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna give a slightly different angle on
5:39
this, okay? Because there's something suspicious about the
5:44
way this is being done. And the end result is what I saw today,
5:49
I was watching little previews of some new football and they
5:51
brought cut to a Bud Light commercial. In the Bud Light
5:55
commercials a bar full of dudes headed with Peyton Manning, the
6:01
old time spokesperson for ex football players, Emmitt Smith
6:05
and some other hot shots. They have to pay these guys a
6:08
fortune, he goes to the bar orders Bud Light. And he says,
6:11
I'll tell you what, let's have Bud Light for the whole bar. So
6:13
you buy the bar and Peyton Manning is throwing passes of
6:16
the Kate with the cam, which cans you can do with. And so
6:20
he's going to end this but they had to pay this guy a boatload
6:24
of money to do this. And this, all of this is going to result
6:28
in heavy advertising to make up for the bad press. This seems
6:33
almost like it's orchestrated by the media itself to extract more
6:36
money from these poor companies in advertising. Interesting.
6:42
Adam Curry: Interesting. Yeah, yeah. It's the what's the the
6:49
opposite of UFC, the Dana White's outfit? Yeah, they also
6:55
have a huge, like 100 million dollar deal or something with
6:58
Bud Light.
7:00
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's costing nothing but money,
7:03
certainly get back on track. And that's going to be the same
7:06
proctor going after Procter and Gamble. I mean, who's really
7:09
behind this? This means they're going to have to advertise more
7:12
than before bonanza.
7:18
Adam Curry: Okay, I'll take your point. I mean, there's there's
7:21
certainly jumping on it. But Hillary Clinton can't
7:25
John C Dvorak: do something if your brand has been be
7:27
submerged. Here you go. What can you do about you can go to the
7:30
editors and say, Hey, you guys are hurt our feelings. You know,
7:33
we didn't do anything wrong. We just do the stories the way they
7:36
go here. Once you talk to this guy.
7:40
Adam Curry: This guy is brown shoes. Talk to him for a moment.
7:42
He'll take care of you. I take that as a good point. I'll take
7:45
that as a fair point. Fair point. Well, I would like to
7:50
start today because it dawned on me after hearing Prince Charles
7:55
speak at COP 28. And I know you got a couple of clips as well.
7:59
I'm going to lead you into them that all this the World Economic
8:05
Forum, they're gonna do the great reset. That is bull crap.
8:11
These guys there, get it. I don't know if they'll do it was
8:16
cop 28 Or if it's going to be cop 29. But they are coming for
8:20
you. They are coming for your money. They're coming with a
8:24
global carbon tax. They're changing the quote unquote,
8:27
global financial system. Their pricing carbon. They're all in
8:33
there getting closer and it kind of hit me when I heard. This is
8:37
something you won't hear at the at the World Economic Forum.
8:41
Klaus Schwab. Give me a break. Now when when you address this
8:46
audience like this, Your
8:47
Unknown: Highness, Secretary General, Your Majesty is your
8:52
royal highnesses, presidents, prime ministers, Ministers,
8:57
Ladies and Gentlemen.
8:59
Adam Curry: ratul your jewels please.
9:01
Unknown: I would like to extend our that's a great
9:03
Adam Curry: clip. Because I mean this these are the people who
9:06
make stuff happen. They make things happen. Not
9:11
John C Dvorak: call you and your royal highness. Yes, yes, your
9:15
Adam Curry: Excellency
9:16
Unknown: ministers ladies and gentlemen. I would like to
9:19
extend my heartfelt gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
9:23
Zayed. I'm not sure
9:26
Adam Curry: this is not you know, the Saudis weren't royal
9:28
until until the 70s. You know, they were better when sheep
9:33
farmers have now Oh, Your Highness Your royalty. Thank you
9:37
Unknown: so much for his warm invitation to speak to you at
9:40
the opening of cop 28. Eight years ago, I was most touched to
9:47
be asked to speak at the opening of cop 21 in Paris. I was so
9:51
touched, which of course culminated in the Paris
9:55
Agreement. A landmark moment of hope and optimism. When nations
10:01
put differences to one side for the common good, I pray with all
10:06
my hearts that cop 28 will be another critical turning point
10:13
towards genuine transformational action. That's a time when
10:19
already, as scientists have been warning for so long. Oh, we are
10:24
seeing alarming tipping points being reached. Tipping
10:28
John C Dvorak: points. Yes, alarm by the way isn't. He says
10:33
eight years ago, but isn't it seven years ago when it's cop
10:36
21. You have kept 21 and 22 to a three to a four to five to six
10:40
by 727 years ago. It's not eight years ago.
10:43
Adam Curry: Well, that's muted. Okay. Who cares? Who can I do?
10:48
Let's get to the music. They
10:49
John C Dvorak: can't do the math of just going back eight years
10:52
or seven years? How can they tell us what's gonna happen with
10:55
the climate 100 years from now? Well,
10:57
Adam Curry: he does. You're right. You're correct. 4
11:00
trillion 5 trillion. small difference public finance
11:04
Unknown: alone will never be sufficient. No. With the private
11:08
sector firmly on the table.
11:10
John C Dvorak: So companies in the public?
11:12
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is coming. This is coming
11:16
firmly at the table. What?
11:20
John C Dvorak: I say yeah, it might be coming. But it hasn't
11:22
come yet. You can still fight it.
11:24
Unknown: The international financial system, combined with
11:29
the innovative use of risk reduction tools like first loss
11:33
risk guarantees
11:35
Adam Curry: stop. What
11:37
John C Dvorak: is he talking about?
11:38
Adam Curry: I looked it up with that you did with tools, tools
11:43
tools, like who's
11:44
Unknown: like first loss risk guarantees first loss
11:49
Adam Curry: risk guarantees. This is a type of insurance.
11:54
First loss policy is a type of property insurance policy that
11:59
provides only partial insurance in the event of a claim the
12:03
policyholder agrees to accept an amount less than the full value
12:08
of a damaged, destroyed or stolen
12:10
John C Dvorak: property. And what's the benefit in that
12:13
Adam Curry: in return, the insurer agrees not to penalize
12:16
the policyholder for under insuring their goods or
12:19
property. So I'm not exactly sure Wait a minute. I'm not
12:25
exactly sure. But there's something and we have enough
12:29
boots on the ground people who can explain to me how they're
12:33
using this insurance clear insurance scam. By just don't
12:38
know how it works yet, but they're gonna use this somehow
12:41
to soak everybody. They for him to say this sums up.
12:48
John C Dvorak: I agree. You don't bring something like this
12:50
in out of the blue to a conference like this? And stated
12:54
as some sort of tool?
12:55
Unknown: Oh, yeah. We
12:57
could mobilize the trillions of dollars, we need how many in the
13:02
order of four and a half to 5 trillion a year to drive the
13:06
transformation a year?
13:08
A year?
13:10
Adam Curry: A year? A year? Four and a half to 5 trillion. Isn't
13:16
that? Isn't that the GDP of the United States? I think that's
13:19
where it's, I mean, it's is that a coincidence? The
13:22
John C Dvorak: entire GDP a year, our entire economy per
13:27
year? Watch?
13:29
Adam Curry: Well, it's let's get you to listen. Second,
13:33
Unknown: how could we ensure that finance flows to those
13:36
developments are most essential to a sustainable future? But
13:40
Adam Curry: first of all, we set up businesses in Africa, and we
13:44
just wait for the money boat to come in. And we then we pretend
13:47
we're helping the black people in Africa da
13:50
Unknown: and away from practices that make our world more
13:53
dangerous.
13:54
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Dangerous to me, because they will want to
13:56
cue me if I'm still in the West, across
13:58
Unknown: every industry in every part of the world. Yeah, I have,
14:03
for instance, been heartened by some of the steps taken by parts
14:07
of the insurance sector, which plays such a vital role in
14:12
incentivizing more sustainable approaches, and providing an
14:17
invaluable source of investment to reduce the risks we face
14:22
Adam Curry: okay, I think that they're gonna run the money
14:25
through insurance companies, insurance companies are just
14:27
banks based not not anything special. Right is just the bank
14:31
and that they get a claim that what insurance companies
14:34
typically do is no, you don't you know, I'm not gonna pay you.
14:38
That's the first thing they say. Um, so I think that that somehow
14:42
they are going to run the money through the insurance companies.
14:45
I'm not quite sure how yet, but the first thing that has to
14:49
happen was addressed by Queen Ursula, who is not the queen of
14:53
the dancing scene in this one. She only got a short little bit
14:57
on the big stage and then manchi she had a She had her own little
15:01
side session which I mean the audience even said i The audio
15:05
is no good. And I couldn't even clip it. It was so bad. So she
15:09
was completely marginalized in this but she came and she said
15:12
what she supposedly
15:13
John C Dvorak: what she did wrong that would this would have
15:15
she she
15:15
Adam Curry: is a failed politician from Germany. Her job
15:18
is to do what they tell her to do. And they said you Ursula,
15:22
make sure you focus on the one point and drive it home. The
15:25
future
15:25
Unknown: of energy will be clean, it will be affordable,
15:29
and it will be homegrown, homegrown fuel, and finally on
15:34
finance, we must meet the 100 billion target this year, Europe
15:39
consistently delivered last year the European Union contributed
15:44
close to $30 billion in public climate finance and of course
15:48
the European Union will contribute to the new loss and
15:51
damage fund
15:53
Adam Curry: loss and damage for I'm telling you, John, there's
15:55
doing something here. It's about insurance. It's this loss and
15:59
damage. It's first loss policies. Something going on
16:02
today.
16:03
Unknown: Team Europe, this
16:04
Adam Curry: country team Europe. Wait a minute, what's his team
16:08
Europe all of a sudden, I did a
16:10
Unknown: soccer game loss and damaged font. As of today. Team
16:15
Europe is contributing more than $270 million so far. We must get
16:22
the fund up
16:24
Adam Curry: 4 trillion No, no, this is just this year this year
16:27
team Europe is behind they must work harder team Europe million
16:32
70 million is nothing oh there's nothing that's that's horrible
16:35
so
16:35
Unknown: far. We must get the fund up and running. And we were
16:40
asked to do it,
16:41
Adam Curry: too. They're doing a green of fun. This is the first
16:45
loss policy firm they're going to do greened bonds. But
16:48
Unknown: we all know more is needed. We need to reform the
16:52
international financial system
16:55
Adam Curry: because we need a carbon tax
16:58
Unknown: we need a strong green bond market green bond market
17:02
and we need more carbon pricing ladies and gentlemen thank you
17:07
dear friends I wish for a successful cop 28 Many things
17:14
Adam Curry: There you go. We need more carbon pricing carbon
17:18
pricing so we can know exactly how much to tax you if you
17:22
pollute then you will pay a tax and that somehow goat we wash
17:27
that through the insurance companies and we sit in Africa
17:30
and we steal it from you I cannot see any other way these
17:34
are the evil people of the world they have been captured and and
17:37
we're so we've been so hammered by this incessant climate change
17:43
that even the people with reasonable thought patterns like
17:48
well you know when was climate change and that just it's just a
17:52
thing it's hard for anyone to say no this is not true in
17:56
Germany the as they're getting ready to fly their privates no
17:59
evidence that it was really flying their private jets but
18:02
regardless, cop 28 starts the world is boiling and Munich sees
18:09
sees 44 inches of snow which they haven't seen ever it's
18:14
record snowfall the planes can take a day have a clip. Oh good
18:18
let's play did you get to the UK also is is completely snowed
18:23
under no weather. Yeah,
18:25
John C Dvorak: weather Bavarian blizzard. It's
18:26
Unknown: called and a Bavarian Blizzard has dropped record snow
18:30
amounts on much of Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and
18:33
Switzerland. The storm knocked out power to 1000s installed
18:37
travel across the region, grounding flights, varying
18:40
highways and forcing mass transit to close
18:44
Adam Curry: to more clips, and I'm gonna lead right into your
18:46
clips because I seen the title. So I know more or less what
18:48
you're going to do. The first thing is we have to play
18:51
something by the United Nations Secretary General who is a
18:54
troll. He was a troll. He might even be wearing a wig this guy.
18:58
He's a little troll. And he always cracks me up with his
19:03
pronunciation of things. On purpose. I don't know that well,
19:08
maybe maybe it's day
19:09
Unknown: two at COP 28 in Dubai and the Coolster urgent action
19:13
continue.
19:14
We cannot save a burning planet. Here fire hose planet. You're
19:21
missing the beauty action continue. We cannot save a
19:24
burning planet here firehose of fossil fuels.
19:31
Adam Curry: We cannot save a burning planet with a firehose
19:33
of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels is what it is your fossil fuels
19:38
your firehose
19:39
Unknown: of fossil fuels. We must accelerate a just equitable
19:43
transition to renewables. renewables. The science is
19:46
clear. The
19:47
Adam Curry: science is clear. It's clear, it's clear
19:51
Unknown: the science is clear. The 1.5 degree limits is only
19:56
possible if we ultimately stopped burning fossil fuels
20:01
stop
20:01
Adam Curry: burning the fossil fuels. Stop it. But it's not
20:05
going to stop with fossil fuels. No, it's going to go to fossil
20:07
food.
20:08
Unknown: Fossil fuels normally get the most attention at the
20:11
annual climate summit. But on Friday, there was a breakthrough
20:14
on another crucial part of tackling climate change what we
20:18
eat we're hating 30 countries, including the US EU because you
20:23
Adam Curry: can even hear the bug sound effect in the report.
20:25
You hear the crickets in the report. It's this is subliminal,
20:29
they're giving you cricket sounds because that's what
20:31
you'll be given to eat what
20:32
Unknown: we eat more than 130 countries including the US, EU,
20:37
Brazil and China have signed an agreement aiming to make food
20:40
production more sustainable. First agreements of its kind and
20:45
could be a very important one food system is responsible for
20:49
1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions and 15% of fossil fuel with huge
20:55
amounts of food wasted in some countries, weightless,
20:58
overconsumption of industrially produced meat and processed, no
21:02
meat. For many campaigners, small scale farmers and local
21:05
communities are a key part of the solution.
21:09
Adam Curry: key part of the solution so they've signed some
21:11
deal. We don't know what it is, but I'm gonna guess bitsbox And
21:16
then we have our vice president because if you're going to have
21:19
queen, Ursula, you might as well bring in Queen Cavalia.
21:22
Unknown: Around the world there are those who seek to slow or
21:25
stop our progress, like podcasters leaders who deny
21:31
climate science, delay climate action, and spread
21:35
misinformation podcasters corporations that greenwash
21:40
climate inaction and lobby for billions of dollars in fossil
21:44
fuel subsidies in the face of their resistance. And in the
21:50
context of this moment, we must do more. Yeah,
21:56
here's also announced the US is pledging $3 billion to the Green
21:59
Climate Fund. The International Fund is dedicated to supporting
22:03
climate action in developing countries. And the Biden
22:06
administration outline plans today to reduce us methane
22:09
emissions. The CBC, Susan Ormiston is in Dubai with more
22:12
on the progress being made.
22:14
Adam Curry: I'm gonna stop it here because I saw that you had
22:16
methane clips. So when that popped up, and of course, you
22:21
understand these things, you know, a lot about few fuels,
22:24
fossil fuels, fools fools, from your time in the government as
22:28
a, as a horrible
22:31
John C Dvorak: in the administrative state. deep state
22:34
you are in a deep state, you're gonna do nothing. So first,
22:39
let's go back to this nonsense about and I maybe maybe there's
22:44
something I don't know. But this idea of they always keep using
22:49
this this. Paris said in there about oil subsidies, yes.
22:58
Governments that what what subsidies what, what what are
23:01
they? What are these subsidies for the oil industry?
23:04
Adam Curry: If I recall, there is and it's not just for oil
23:08
companies, there is a US production tax benefit.
23:12
John C Dvorak: There's an oil depletion allowance. What's the
23:17
big tax break? What is that? I haven't asked I buy an oil well,
23:21
it's worth a million dollars because it's a million dollars.
23:24
But as I pump the oil out, it becomes slowly worthless. I get
23:28
an oil depletion allowance a tax benefit for that because now
23:33
that now my asset has become worth nothing. After I pumped
23:37
all the unsold all the oil,
23:38
Adam Curry: you get to depreciate your million dollar
23:40
initial investment.
23:42
John C Dvorak: I don't know how what the exact how the math
23:45
works, but it's but that's I think what they're always
23:47
talking about. And of course, if you eliminate that, it's not
23:51
going to stop anything. It's just going to jack up the price
23:54
of gasoline, which
23:55
Adam Curry: now is 275 for regular here in Texas so we can
23:59
handle survive 50
24:04
John C Dvorak: By the way, the curious thing about our being
24:06
550. It's also an oil production state, we produce oil in this
24:10
state. The good news is we have most of the refineries in this
24:14
state
24:14
Adam Curry: Wednesday, I'm having dinner with oil baron, so
24:17
I'll get a full breakdown of exactly this topic. Good because
24:22
he has oil well. So that'll be easy, dude, what's your tax
24:25
benefit? He'll tell me. Yeah,
24:28
John C Dvorak: I'll tell you. And it's probably a pretty good
24:30
deal. I mean, that's one of the reasons it was done to encourage
24:34
people to get this oil audit. May I remind
24:37
Adam Curry: you, oil baron, okay. Yeah, I bet it's a pretty
24:41
good deal.
24:44
John C Dvorak: So let's go to cop 28. I think we'll go with
24:49
the first we'll start with the Harris stuff. I have this top 21
24:53
Harris PBS at
24:55
Unknown: the United Nations cop 28 climate conference in Dubai.
24:59
Vice President head HARRIS pledged $3 billion toward a
25:02
global fund to help poor nations adapt to climate change. The
25:06
United States also committed to doubling energy efficiency and
25:09
tripling the use of renewable energy by 2030. Harris said the
25:13
time for action is now
25:15
the urgency of this moment is clear. The clock is no longer
25:21
just ticking, it is banging, its binding and we must make up for
25:26
lost time. And we must treat the climate crisis as the
25:32
existential threat that is truly
25:37
Adam Curry: who says banging, banging. The clock is banging,
25:42
banging She's no she was very explicit on the banking is yes,
25:46
she said banking. I wanted to say banking. What is what is
25:50
that banking? Banking banking is what
25:53
John C Dvorak: she's got that she's had some she has some
25:55
South Asian. Buried in there. That's okay. All right. banking,
26:01
banking, banking. Okay, we wrap that that's wrapped. Yes, she
26:06
wrap up. Okay. Was she going away, guys? So let's go to cop
26:11
22 methane coming in. I have kept 28 to methane because I
26:18
gotcha. I gotcha.
26:19
Unknown: Officials also announced a major new initiative
26:21
aimed at getting methane emission to near zero by 2030.
26:26
Adam Curry: Okay, now methane emission. What I know one part
26:30
of methane is burning off your your gas wells is that he's
26:34
talking about that in this case or something else? It's
26:37
John C Dvorak: hard to say what they're talking mostly about
26:40
refineries leaking. And California's methane. No,
26:45
they're not talking about the about the cow. It's mostly
26:47
belches. It turns out Oh, okay. Because they're ruminants and a
26:51
belch the methane out of their mouth. The problem with this
26:56
whole thing, and I'll put this right up front, is that natural
27:00
gas is methane. They won't say natural gas. They just keeps
27:06
saying methane, methane. So you can't I mean, if you turn your
27:10
stove on, you're mad leaking methane all over the place. It's
27:14
methane. Got it. That's natural gases. 97% methane. So when this
27:21
is a, this is a roundabout way, this whole methane thing is a
27:24
roundabout way. And I would say a chickenshit way of getting rid
27:29
of gas stoves, gas furnaces and gas heaters. You know, it's a
27:33
shame that Boone Pickens isn't still alive because he was the
27:38
big promoter of natural gas as an alternative to to liquid
27:43
petroleum products. And he would throw a bunch of money at this
27:47
nonsense and end it right now because you can't do what they
27:51
want to do without getting rid of your gas stoves. So they
27:55
don't want to talk about it. Well, no. Gas No, Donna. No,
27:59
this just trying to stop. This is very nice. I guess this is
28:02
not about gas.
28:03
Adam Curry: This is very interesting. This is a scam.
28:07
Because the total scam anything people are very aware of the war
28:11
on gas stoves. You know, then
28:14
John C Dvorak: everyone denies it. No, no, no, we're not doing
28:17
that. That's not true.
28:18
Adam Curry: Yeah, but but now they've just done a little
28:20
switcheroo and they just call it methane or dare I say methane in
28:25
the UK. He has me say anything. And but they're lying. They're
28:28
lying. They're really saying No more No more cheap energy
28:31
because methane gas natural gas is quite affordable. I think
28:37
it's quite sick or am I not? It's quite safe.
28:40
John C Dvorak: Well in this it accumulates in a house completed
28:43
and in some of the lights a match. It's a Yeah, it's safe.
28:46
It's safe compared to around been around for longer than
28:51
hydrogen lessons.
28:54
Adam Curry: Yes, I agree. All right. So we have to get rid of
28:57
it. Got it. So
28:58
John C Dvorak: that but this is this is exactly what you said
29:00
it's a scam. And here we go. And I just most this is the methane
29:05
series. Now this is cop 28 methane one
29:08
Unknown: at the cop 28 summit in Dubai today. 50. Oil and gas
29:12
companies representing about 40% of global production pledged to
29:16
reduce methane emissions to near zero by 2030. Methane is a
29:20
byproduct of oil and gas production that can trap 80
29:23
times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the short term. The
29:27
companies including industry giants, like Exxon Mobil, shell
29:30
and BP say they'll achieve this by plugging leaks at their
29:34
facilities and ending the practice of burning off excess
29:37
gas with flares. The same time the Biden administration
29:40
announced new rules to enforce major elements of that agreement
29:43
in this country.
29:45
Adam Curry: Ah, there it is. There's your war on gas stoves.
29:49
John C Dvorak: Now a couple of things in this clip. He says
29:54
that ADT Muluzi at methane's at x In terms of greenhouse gas
30:02
emissions at x co2, yeah, but how come this hasn't been
30:05
addressed before? While it was You were always talking about
30:08
carbon, carbon, carbon, carbon and referring to co2, co2 co2,
30:13
which is a parts per million thing in the atmosphere. It's
30:15
hardly anything right. But they keep talking about it. But
30:18
meanwhile, methane, why now? Doesn't
30:21
Adam Curry: have very low carbon dioxide emission? What I'm
30:26
sorry, does burn, does burning natural gas have a low as
30:31
John C Dvorak: lower than burning? Coal? Yeah, that's what
30:34
T. Boone Pickens was always doing. Always thought, yeah,
30:36
Lauren Cole or a lot of
30:38
Adam Curry: stuff. So it's not a good narrative. And also, well,
30:41
John C Dvorak: this ADX is a raw This is raw methane going into
30:44
the atmosphere, right. And then then the East says that and they
30:47
refineries are getting down to refineries. One thing that's
30:50
never mentioned is methane is a product they sell as natural
30:56
gas. They don't want it leaking all over the place. They're
30:59
giving away product. It's like, it's like letting the wine
31:03
barrel overfill and go into down the sewer. Right? This is not
31:06
what they want. So this is in the best interests of the of the
31:09
oil refineries to plug any leaks there are so that so they're all
31:13
always for that. So this is not a concession by any means.
31:17
Because they want to do this because they're big lose money,
31:21
otherwise, maybe so this is bullcrap this narrative, well,
31:25
how
31:25
Adam Curry: about this? Or maybe they're like, Yeah, that's good.
31:27
Give us some more subsidies so we can plug up.
31:30
John C Dvorak: I believe that's in the back.
31:33
Adam Curry: Is there is there also not an element of F Russia
31:36
in all of this? Since Russia has a lot of restaurant? Yes.
31:40
John C Dvorak: I didn't think of that. But that's obviously the
31:42
case. Yeah. And so you have that aspect. And the other thing is,
31:46
is in in, the refiners are going to try to stop flaring so much.
31:51
Natural gas when it gets into the system, and they had to get
31:54
rid of it. They sent it to the flare. But when it gets burned
31:58
in the flare, it gets burned. There's no natural gas coming
32:01
off that flame. So that's bull crap. And that's just bullcrap.
32:08
I was just
32:09
Adam Curry: just okay. laughter Okay, Okay, gotcha. Okay. He's
32:13
both practical.
32:14
John C Dvorak: But again, I think the whole thing is about
32:16
the stoves but let's go with methane too. Earlier,
32:18
Unknown: I spoke with Fred Krupp, the president of the
32:20
Environmental Defense Fund, who was at COP 28. I asked about
32:24
what makes this deal so important. John,
32:27
I've been at this for a long time. And in my 30 plus years of
32:30
doing this work, I don't think we've ever had as good a day for
32:34
the climate as we had today. We had the US EPA announcing the
32:38
strongest methane rules for the oil and gas sector on the
32:42
planet. Second, we had 50 companies representing 40% of
32:47
global oil production, pledging to virtually eliminate their
32:51
methane pollution. And then third, we saw an announcement
32:54
from the US and China that they've agreed to incorporate
32:57
methane in the future into their pledges internationally. And
33:03
methane, John is 80 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas
33:08
than carbon dioxide pound for pound in those first 20 years.
33:12
And so reductions now that will happen as a result of these
33:16
three actions mean that storms will be less ferocious, will be
33:22
lower than they would otherwise be over the next 10 years.
33:26
Thanks to the actions that were pledged today. Storms
33:29
Adam Curry: will be less ferocious at the weatherman
33:32
John C Dvorak: over the next 10 years because it is one action
33:36
which is meaningless as meaningless action which isn't
33:38
going to do jack until they get rid of this stoves and heaters.
33:43
But now, here's the problem. They had like the hurricane
33:46
season just ended. What was the big massive hurricane on the
33:49
East Coast that took out like half of a state and killed
33:52
millions. was the big storm this year. Yeah, carry
33:56
Adam Curry: on. Well, there was a bad storm on the little piece
34:00
of Florida on the Gulf side, interestingly. But it didn't
34:04
take out millions. It
34:05
John C Dvorak: wasn't like the big stores. We'd like Katrina.
34:08
No, no, which was, if you recall, when Katrina happened,
34:12
this was going to be the standard of excellence every
34:15
year and it's gonna get worse and worse. What was this year's
34:19
big storm was that little storm you're talking about? But this
34:21
was
34:21
Adam Curry: this is the problem. The problem is people don't look
34:25
at history. They're not taught history. They're told to just
34:28
oh, just listen, listen to me. Listen to me, this is the worst
34:31
and it's coming from our so called leaders so people go
34:34
okay, because people have other things to do like figure out how
34:37
to pay the rent. Now
34:39
John C Dvorak: let's go back to this guy and he has commentary.
34:42
This is right here. What he said is meaningless methane bull
34:47
crap. In which isn't going to do jack is going to be used as
34:52
well. We says we passed this this is the big deal. We passed
34:55
it a cup 28 and looked at we didn't have so many hurricanes
34:58
is already starting to clear up a little bit they need because
35:01
the cycle that the weather cycles based on sunspots is, is
35:05
switching on to the other one's going down the other way. And
35:07
they've got to come up with some reason quick, a quick, real
35:11
quick fix. And this guy just told you what it was.
35:16
Adam Curry: They need the quick fix so they can then take credit
35:19
for it. Yeah, see, storms are less temperatures coming down
35:24
days to us. We foam finger number one, everybody. That's
35:28
right. So we can predict in 10 years, that everything will be
35:33
much calmer. It'll be cold, it'd be cold, it's gonna be cold.
35:36
It's gonna get cold, right? We're gonna get very cold,
35:38
everybody. Maybe, maybe, maybe that's what King Charles meant
35:44
by tipping point where the tipping point people, tipping
35:46
points, your tipping point and a tipping point is that
35:49
temperatures are going down? Everything's going down? Because
35:52
with the sun cycle, what is it? What cycle is I forget that they
35:56
they number them? Every 11 years? It goes to the to the Sun
36:00
cycle. I know what is a ham operator, you know these things?
36:03
So that we're going down to the bottom of the cycle? I think we
36:05
have two more years left and then it's over. And then well,
36:09
we did it. We did it everybody. We're in Africa now send us our
36:13
trillions in he was in
36:15
John C Dvorak: his or trillion so we can make sure we don't do
36:18
we don't backtrack. Exactly. Okay, methane, three. And
36:22
Unknown: is this a long term solution to the problem? Is this
36:25
a sort of short term quick fix?
36:27
Well, we have to both do methane to reduce temperatures in the
36:31
short term, and we cannot stop working. In fact, we have to
36:36
accelerate our work on eliminating carbon dioxide. The
36:40
oil and gas industry took this one step. But they have to do a
36:45
lot more than this, we have to move away from laughing Reliance
36:49
or dependency on fossil. Let's listen again, the oil and gas
36:54
industry took this one step. But they have to do a lot more than
36:59
this. We have to move away from reliance or dependency on fossil
37:04
fuels as quickly as we can. But while we're still using them, we
37:08
have to eliminate this very powerful greenhouse gas method.
37:13
Adam Curry: Okay, so from the National Weather Surface,
37:16
Surface service surface
37:18
Unknown: surface mirror surface surface, we
37:21
Adam Curry: are two years away from the top of Sun solar cycle
37:25
25. The peak will be expected solar maximum July 2025. So
37:33
there's that's the peak of solar cycle 25. So that's, that's why
37:39
the hurry up.
37:42
John C Dvorak: Yeah, buy some panicky thing we can do. Yeah.
37:46
All right, here we go. Is the last of these clips, this
37:49
Unknown: agreement is voluntary. The oil companies have to do
37:53
what they what they promised to do. And a lot of environmental
37:57
groups don't like that. They said there's no accountability
38:00
mechanism or guarantee the companies will follow through.
38:04
What do you say to that.
38:05
But I think it's good to be skeptical of pledges at the COP.
38:08
A lot of pledges that have been made at this Conference of the
38:11
Parties year after year aren't delivered on in this particular
38:15
pledge. We structured it to have accountability built in. So the
38:19
oil and gas companies are agreeing to report their
38:23
emissions by monitoring, monitoring them and then sending
38:27
them to an international independent third party. In
38:30
addition to that, the Bloomberg Philanthropies today announced a
38:35
major $25 million gift to not only the Environmental Defense
38:39
Fund, but it will stand up and accountability partnership that
38:43
will make data transparent. And so we'll be able to see exactly
38:48
who is meeting this pledge and who's not.
38:51
Adam Curry: So oh, I've heard it four times. Now the
38:54
Environmental Defense Fund.
38:57
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's this guy. He's the head of it.
38:59
Adam Curry: But is this well? Is that a global thing?
39:04
John C Dvorak: I think to American seems like 9013 C,
39:08
whatever it
39:08
Adam Curry: is, seems like it's New York based. Might be founded
39:12
in 1967. So yeah, that's good. Yeah, it
39:16
John C Dvorak: was founded during the it was that was
39:19
founded at if I'm not mistaken. The Environmental Defense Fund
39:22
was founded during the heyday of anti pollution, real pollution,
39:27
Ed evety
39:30
Adam Curry: 1967, a group of scientists formed the
39:32
organization sets out to ban DDT.
39:35
John C Dvorak: Oh, is the DDT? That's right, it was a DDT that
39:38
came out of Rachel Carson's best seller, Silent Spring, which had
39:43
which is really about DDT,
39:45
Adam Curry: that and then in 1970, it was efforts to ban
39:49
whale hunting. Remember that one? Which was an attack on
39:53
Japan as far as I can remember? Yeah, horrible Japanese Japanese
39:57
killing whales. Um, I got this one minute 22 second clip. I got
40:05
this from, and it's a brief history. Like, before
40:09
John C Dvorak: you go, I wanted to comment on the less. Yeah. So
40:13
this I just wanted this as a refinery story having worked at
40:17
a refinery in the lab and I this is I don't think they're evil by
40:23
any means. I like refiners. I think they're all great, but I'm
40:27
just this is the way reporting goes, we have to do a monthly
40:32
coliform test of the effluent that comes off of the refinery,
40:36
water supply, and it goes and you get a sample and you do this
40:40
blood test. And it's for it's called coliform. And it's a type
40:44
of bacteria. It's a bacterial test. And if it shows up, that
40:47
means you got contamination in the water that's going into the
40:50
San Francisco Bay. And it would go like this. And it which means
40:55
there's sewage, and there's I don't know how it even gets in
40:57
there, but it will get in there. And it's a little elaborate test
41:02
is kind of a pain in the ass. It's got nothing to do with the
41:04
refinery at all, but you have to do this test. So you do the
41:07
test. And you do this test once a month, I think as I recall,
41:10
and you do the test once a month and you do the test and it goes
41:13
oh shit, we got coliform. And then you go, well, or somebody
41:18
somebody says, Okay, we'll do the test tomorrow. Yeah,
41:25
yesterday came out, okay. Okay, send that one in.
41:28
Adam Curry: Oh, you see, just take whatever's handy.
41:31
John C Dvorak: This is you take the test that passes. Nice. And
41:36
that's how you do it. And I'm not, no one's going to convince
41:39
me that that's not the way it's done everywhere by everybody.
41:43
Because it's like bull crap test to begin with. Because in fact,
41:47
you take the test every day of the month, and it would be 90 or
41:50
90 by the 25 days of no problem. And then maybe it's a day in
41:54
there. So it's kind of like doesn't happen.
41:55
Adam Curry: It's kind of like a COVID test. So the Environmental
42:01
Defense Fund, indeed, a 501. C three. Yeah. How much do you
42:06
think they were given in 2022? According to their form,
42:12
990 $100 million? How about 385 million? I have 452 million in
42:19
assets. You know, because they play the stock market, of
42:23
course. And their mission is to build a vital Earth for
42:27
everyone. By leveraging environment, oceans health,
42:33
environment, health, public health, children, leveraging
42:37
children. Fine. Here's a brief history of this cop outfit
42:43
because it started a long time ago. And we're still not dead.
42:48
Unknown: General Boutros Ghali,
42:50
the Earth Summit in Rio was the first time that more than 100
42:53
heads of states and governments gathered together in one room to
42:57
talk climate, establishing sustainable development as a
43:00
basis for international cooperation. At least in theory,
43:04
the world is our garden, and together, we must cultivate it.
43:08
Five
43:09
years later, the Kyoto Protocol was signed, develop countries
43:13
pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by at
43:15
least 5% Compared to 1990 levels. One big problem the
43:20
world's biggest emitters, the US China and India were not bound
43:24
by the text. In 2009, the aim of cop 15 in Copenhagen was an
43:31
international agreement to fight climate change. The US and China
43:36
helped draft a last minute joint statement, it was not widely
43:39
adopted. The 2015 edition in France was considered a
43:44
resounding success. The Paris Agreement was the first treaty
43:48
to commit the entire international community to the
43:51
fight against climate change, pledging to maintain the rise in
43:54
the global average temperature to quote well below two degrees
43:58
compared to pre industrial levels. signatories also agreed
44:02
to assess their efforts every five years. Eight years on the
44:06
UN says much more must be done to meet the goals set in Paris.
44:11
Adam Curry: So to just wrap this part up, these are the real
44:14
people who are doing a an actual slow, global reset. It is really
44:21
happening. They're going to price carbon. Every action you
44:25
take as a human being it'll start with businesses, the
44:28
businesses, they get some deal I'm sure this insurance scam
44:31
somehow work. Someone's going to tell us how that works.
44:34
Business, we'll get some insurance. Now pay off, but
44:39
ultimately, it's going to come from the individual humans that
44:43
you travel, you're gonna be charged for your poop. Yes. How
44:47
much do you poop? That's right. You're gonna be if you're a big
44:49
pooper, then sorry, Anderson Cooper is going to be poor in
44:52
the future. As I was just going to everything you do, there will
44:56
be a climate tax. That's why they're pricing carbon and We
45:00
only have to look from Texas a little bit up to the north to
45:03
see that this is in play in Canada. And it was a and they're
45:07
joking about it. Do you ever Trudeau and Paul Revere the two
45:11
sides of the political spectrum, laughing about it now the what?
45:15
What happened here is they were jamming a carbon tax into aid
45:22
for Ukraine, I believe, have the
45:25
John C Dvorak: right and the classic and the conservatism
45:28
Adam Curry: of now. No, we're not. We're not going to. We're
45:30
not going to pass this without thinking that but it's all just
45:32
a big joke to them, denialism
45:34
Unknown: of the Conservative Party of Canada is putting
45:37
future white Christmases at risk. And that's why
45:42
Adam Curry: this is my favorite. Dude. They've been writing since
45:46
2000. We weren't supposed to have white Christmas and
45:49
certainly not in the UK. But okay. You are threatening White
45:52
Christmas.
45:53
Unknown: Future White Christmas is at risk. And that's why on
45:57
this side of the house
46:06
John C Dvorak: clown show to clown show.
46:15
Unknown: Leader the opposition, Mr. Speaker that has to be the
46:20
angriest and most cost to Christmas message.
46:27
This is a guy he hasn't faced though. Cool. Despite his
46:30
theatrics over there, Mr. Speaker, what he's doing is
46:33
phasing out food because Canadians can't afford it. Now
46:37
as he raises carbon taxes on the wonderful farmers that bring us
46:42
bring it to our table. Why won't he axe the tax on farmers so
46:46
that Canadians can eat heat and houses themselves? And why
46:50
doesn't he be a little less like Scrooge and a little more like
46:52
Santa Claus.
46:54
Adam Curry: So if we make it another 10 years, I would say
46:59
sketchy likelihood at best. We will be talking about bug
47:04
recipes on this very podcast, because they're doing it. This
47:09
is the while we're all arguing about Klaus Schwab. And I'll go
47:14
I like it's funny. The Klaus Schwab songs and everything is
47:18
funny.
47:18
John C Dvorak: I love the Klaus Schwab material. It's
47:21
Adam Curry: funny, but it's very funny, but it's really the wrong
47:24
thing. These are the people and this is huge. The amount of
47:29
people who are in these cop meetings, and they're living it
47:32
up. I mean, they're flying around the land
47:36
John C Dvorak: around in their private hair came in there. Of
47:38
all places do buy which is a long haul for anyone to go to
47:43
Adam Curry: a it's a great trip. Pierre flew in special special
47:48
now to do everybody's hair. Look, I know women and hair,
47:54
Queen Ursula his hair was done. So be there. She had her
47:57
personal hairdresser fly with her. Or Pierre was there waiting
48:02
for about a week she's actually no no, no, this is no wig. This
48:06
is no wig. The you know, she I believe may be responsible for a
48:10
huge, huge loss theft may be of money with the Pfizer deals
48:16
which she did on her on her own phone. Of course, you know, we
48:19
can't show those tax records. I mean, there's no Yeah, exactly.
48:23
There's no record. These people are stealing from our children's
48:28
future.
48:29
John C Dvorak: That's stealing from our future. Our
48:33
Adam Curry: immediate future. We don't have much future left and
48:35
they're stealing from it. That's been me. Meanwhile, let's all
48:39
feel good by stories like
48:42
Unknown: this, and finally tonight, the new technology that
48:45
could redefine what it means to go electric. Here's Maggie
48:48
Vesper.
48:50
Adam Curry: By the way, nothing funnier than having a reporter
48:54
work on climate change and electrified cars whose name is
48:57
Vesper?
48:58
John C Dvorak: Are you getting out the scooter? Yes, but really
49:01
Unknown: electric here's Maggie Vesper.
49:04
on its list of claims to automotive fame, okay, there we
49:08
go. Detroit can add America's first electric Ave. The battery
49:14
was at 66% We've been driving a few minutes and now it's at 68.
49:19
Exactly. A public road able to wirelessly charge Evie batteries
49:23
as they drive over asphalt. The technology is under our feet.
49:28
Like the surface of the road literally. The secret rubber
49:32
coated copper coils embedded in the road that correspond with a
49:35
special receiver under the vehicle. The technology
49:38
developed by Israel based electric Yan who touts similar
49:41
projects in several countries, including Sweden, where NBCs
49:45
Kelly cobia got a look last year. So we're being charged
49:49
right now we are being charged. Tell me why this is safe. This
49:54
is safe. This system is only active when you have a validated
49:59
rule. vehicle with the receiver validated
50:02
the price tag for the projects to ultimately cover one mile of
50:06
road just under $6 million, according to state officials,
50:09
who say the costs will plummet as they expand, and in the next
50:12
few years, licensed receivers to the public. Could you see this
50:16
actually being used broadly?
50:17
I can, yes, we want to get rid of this myth of range of
50:20
guidance. You want to know that when you get to a location,
50:23
you're able to charge your vehicle
50:25
Motor City once again, hoping to lead the charge into America's
50:30
future.
50:31
Adam Curry: lead the charge. Brilliant, brilliantly written I
50:35
tell you, let's go have a beer. No.
50:38
John C Dvorak: 6 million. My host problem in this country.
50:43
Here we can eliminate the even the closest concept that that
50:47
concept is not doable. The potholes will eat into the
50:52
charging grid that's under there doesn't electrocute someone.
50:57
It's ludicrous.
50:59
Adam Curry: And the price is obviously I mean, that's, it's
51:03
crazy, of course $6 million for one mile. But and by that, and
51:10
that's you know, I'm sure. I'm just going to guess you'd
51:12
John C Dvorak: have to have a meter on your car, because
51:14
you're not going to give you the electricity for free. And
51:17
Adam Curry: I'm just going to guess that. I don't know, maybe
51:21
some venture capital company had something to do with this. You
51:24
know, this is where this is where your green where your
51:27
green money is going to. And you know, right on cue with all of
51:32
this, and I have to give it to him. Elon Musk is a dynamite
51:36
marketer. He's, he knows what he's doing. I'm gonna go cause a
51:40
ruckus and go cause a ruckus. And then the next day I'm going
51:44
to launch my cyber truck.
51:46
Unknown: After two years of delays in production shrinks.
51:49
Tesla has finally handed the first cyber trucks over to
51:52
customers. Tesla CEO Elon Musk says it has an extra safety
51:56
feature. Why do you make it bulletproof? I'm like, why? Do
52:03
you want to how tough is your truck? Bulletproof he says Elon
52:06
Musk says the cheapest version of cybertruck will cost just
52:09
under $61,000. That's more than 50% over the price Musk floated
52:14
when he announced the vehicle in 2019. Dude,
52:17
Adam Curry: we were supposed to be able to have our Tesla's do
52:22
taxi service three years ago. If I recall correctly,
52:27
John C Dvorak: yeah, he's a great bullshit artist. Yes.
52:29
Adam Curry: But me he uses the momentum and he comes out with
52:32
the cybertruck and ah, the amount of just drooling over
52:37
this thing. Drooling I mean, anything I knew we've
52:41
John C Dvorak: seen this truck before and he bashed it with a
52:43
hammer and he made a dent and
52:44
Adam Curry: it wasn't a hammer. It was a was a steel ball. And
52:48
it broke the window. The window breakable window. Yeah.
52:53
John C Dvorak: So we know about this truck is uglier than sin.
52:56
And there's a few floating around. People have seen him on
53:01
the road. They're here in their their prototypes, I guess. No.
53:05
But you know, this trucks going nowhere. But yeah, he gets all
53:10
the publicity and ease and then they keep following up because
53:12
they're looking for more stuff about Elon, Elon, Elon, and
53:14
boom, you get this beautiful Yeah, he's a genius.
53:17
Adam Curry: I have to give him that. Now, there are some
53:19
transportation things that are very much under attack. And the
53:26
first one is air travel. Now we know that there's a shortage of
53:29
pilots we understand the issues with unions keep striking. They
53:34
want more money, particularly the cabin cabin crew and I'm not
53:37
talking about cockpit but cabin crew. They really don't want you
53:42
as a human to have a nice time flying around on vacation doing
53:46
business. They don't want it's ugly. It's nasty. You know,
53:50
you're polluting the world. I mean, they come up with stuff
53:53
like this.
53:54
Unknown: Sir Richard Branson was in the mood to brag after making
53:57
history is 787 flew from London to New York using 100%
54:02
Sustainable aviation. It's a blend of process cooking oil,
54:05
animal fat and corn based kerosene using 70% less carbon
54:09
than normal flights. But Branson admits the fuel is in short
54:11
supply and it's expensive. So there's a long way to go before
54:14
this is streamlined.
54:16
Adam Curry: It's never more never going to happen. It's
54:18
never gonna
54:18
John C Dvorak: Of course I've had caught it cost more. And by
54:21
the way, they have more significant signal it cost a
54:24
fortune and it has been reversed blind so it's like a pain in the
54:28
ass and is stinks when you burn it.
54:30
Adam Curry: And it dirties the engines is all kinds of stuff
54:32
that does not make this a great deal at all, but Richard
54:35
Branson, another great marketer, because that's really what he
54:39
is. He's a great marketer. Gotta give him that he doesn't run
54:43
virgin. He sold that a decade ago. And then the final one,
54:47
this has me somewhat concerned although it runs right into our
54:51
trans Maoist agenda, where for years, the Federal Aviation
54:57
Administration has only been hiring a has only been has
55:00
actually forced airlines to hire minorities qualified or not. And
55:09
now we're down to, I think an actual crisis. I've been hearing
55:13
a lot about this and that's the following story.
55:17
Unknown: Tonight disturbing new allegations and questions about
55:20
the safety of American air travel. That was shocking.
55:24
According to The New York Times over the past two years,
55:26
multiple air traffic controllers have been reported for falling
55:30
asleep on the job, others allegedly directing traffic
55:33
under the influence of alcohol and illegal drugs. The Times
55:37
reports one air traffic controller showed up to work
55:40
drunk joking about making big money bust, adding another
55:44
controller routinely smoked marijuana during breaks dozens
55:47
of interviews and government documents not reviewed by the
55:51
newspaper described overworked at time struggling with mental
55:56
and physical health as 1000s of controllers retire 77% of
56:01
critical ATC facilities are understaffed. According to a
56:04
recent government report. shortage is coming with serious
56:08
close calls at US airports also under scrutiny. 23 This year
56:13
alone, the air traffic controllers union writing the
56:16
article does not portray the professionalism and skill with
56:19
which air traffic controllers perform their complex and
56:22
stressful duties every day. But both the union and FAA
56:26
acknowledged there are staffing issues. Something the FAA says
56:30
it is working to fix with so many lives at stake. Okay,
56:35
Adam Curry: so I don't know the truth of it. But I hear from a
56:38
lot of ATC personnel and they say we're pretty stressed. And I
56:43
would like to say I would like to offer I don't know if being a
56:47
pilot gives me any advantage. But if I can go train and pitch
56:51
in on the weekend I will I don't smoke weed anymore. But I think
56:55
there's if you had a call out said hey, we have a shortage.
56:59
But we'll accept everybody not just gays, blacks and women
57:02
regardless of their of their capability and ability. This
57:11
would not be a problem. Americans like air travel. We
57:14
are an air travel country. So I'm up for it. Then I'm I'm sure
57:21
many other pilots who have private pilot's Yeah, we'll
57:24
pitch in. That's the American way. Not this bullcrap. It's
57:29
It's so tiring the story so tiring.
57:32
Unknown: It's good story.
57:33
Adam Curry: Yeah. All right now there's been a debunking of a
57:36
debunking of something that was debunked of a debunk
57:39
John C Dvorak: of a debunking of a debunking of something we
57:41
didn't even cover because you in particular, thought it was
57:45
bullshit to begin with.
57:46
Adam Curry: Yeah. So when I saw this video, which is now many of
57:49
you probably seen this, the New Zealand database admin
57:52
whistleblower? Yeah.
57:54
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's already a stretch already. Yes,
57:57
I
57:58
Adam Curry: looked at the video. And I was like, you know, and I.
58:03
Now of course, I clipped a minute of it, just so we can
58:05
talk about it. But initially, I was like, this is not this is
58:09
not the whole thing had Bridey on written all over it. Sorry. I
58:14
was thinking bit shoot,
58:15
Unknown: right? Well, I was involved with building a project
58:19
helped with implementing a vaccine payment system for our
58:24
providers. It's called Pay per dose system. So that means that
58:30
every time someone gets vaccinated, they get a payment
58:34
for it as a provider. I helped build it, I implemented it. And
58:42
when I was looking at the data, which is part of my job, I
58:46
noticed some discrepancies with the dates of death people can
58:52
people dying within a week have been vaccinated? So
58:55
what did you notice when you first started to look at this
58:59
data as you were building it? Well,
59:02
as soon as the system went live, we noticed that people wouldn't
59:05
die almost straightaway after being injected. So that sort of
59:10
prompted my curiosity. And so I dug a little. I am a scientist
59:16
by nature. I love science. That's my all time favorite.
59:20
I've got a I've got a master's degree in science. So
59:24
John C Dvorak: I have a master's degree in science. Wouldn't that
59:27
be bad? Would it be a Master of Science? Would you have a
59:31
Master's of Science degree? Yeah. What would you say? I've
59:33
got a Master's of Science degree, you wouldn't get a
59:36
master's degree in science. There was no such thing. It was
59:39
just no degree that you said, masters that have just science.
59:43
It
59:44
Adam Curry: was stuff like this that made me go and whatever
59:47
we'll see. We'll see what comes of it. So I don't want to waste
59:49
anybody's time. We're not the Tim Poole show, like well,
59:54
because first of all, I think we already believe this. We already
59:57
believe that the vaccine has caught was much despair. I don't
1:00:02
need to see any data per se, but now it's a story. And then so
1:00:06
you send me a substack e Gore's newsletter.
1:00:12
John C Dvorak: It's pretty good. By the way, generally,
1:00:13
Adam Curry: it generally is pretty good. And he says, I
1:00:15
analyze the leak New Zealand whistleblower data and suggest
1:00:19
to be wary of it. And he says, bad data inconsistent story. I
1:00:24
don't know this, Igor. I mean, he's, honestly, I did some
1:00:28
research on this guy. I'm like, well, now he says he runs his
1:00:31
own data. So it appears the data looks legit, but there's big
1:00:36
pieces missing from it. So you and I are kind of like, well, I
1:00:40
think this may be was just a bullcrap story. But then Jimmy
1:00:45
Dore has Steve Kirsch come on his show. Now, Steve Kirsch
1:00:50
actual Masters of Science, I believe. Yeah, they're from MIT.
1:00:55
He even has, like a an auditorium at MIT named after
1:00:59
him. He's done quite well, these is he, what did he do? Did he
1:01:03
make his money with the optical mouse? Was that his main claim
1:01:06
to fame? You know, I
1:01:07
John C Dvorak: don't think I don't remember he lives around
1:01:09
here somewhere. And talk to him a couple of times. Over
1:01:15
directly, I've got his phone number. And he was a he's one of
1:01:19
these guilt ridden guys because he was a big promoter of the
1:01:22
vaccine.
1:01:23
Adam Curry: Infoseek, this search and that InfoSec. info
1:01:28
see, now info secret was InfoSec. Now the search engine
1:01:32
and then he had Oh, okay frame technology, which Adobe bought.
1:01:35
So he's been around.
1:01:37
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's a he's a really sharp guy. Okay,
1:01:41
though, he seems to be a guy who's living a life of guilt,
1:01:47
because it seems that he promoted the vaccine. And then
1:01:49
he discovered it was bold creditors that it was bad. And
1:01:53
he turned, it became a major, major anti COVID vaccine guy.
1:01:59
Yes. Major.
1:02:01
Adam Curry: He did. All right, way beyond.
1:02:03
John C Dvorak: Well, we, we just deconstruct news stories. We
1:02:06
don't take sides. So this
1:02:07
Adam Curry: is not. Jimmy Dore got him on right away. I thought
1:02:11
that was pretty good. My point, my point being that Steve cursed
1:02:15
us. He's a sharp guy. There's no doubt about it. He's a sharp
1:02:19
guy. So for him to go out on this limb. He clearly believes
1:02:23
in what he's saying. And I pulled a couple of clips from
1:02:25
well,
1:02:25
Unknown: I got the data. And I think I was the first person in
1:02:28
the world outside of the whistleblower dude to get the
1:02:31
data. So it got uploaded to my, my, I have a wasabi server,
1:02:36
Adam Curry: we need one of those, John, we need a wasabi
1:02:38
server, whatever it is, I want one.
1:02:40
Unknown: And the data was uploaded in November. And though
1:02:47
the whistle blower asked me to keep it quiet until November 30.
1:02:52
And on November 30, I had a speech in the MIT auditorium,
1:02:57
the Kirsch auditorium, it's named after me. And they
1:03:00
actually let me speak there because the student group was
1:03:03
willing to sponsor my speaking there. But they couldn't find an
1:03:07
MIT faculty member who was willing to sponsor me to speak
1:03:11
about the truth about the COVID vaccines, but fortunately, a
1:03:13
student group invited me and so I spoke about this, this huge
1:03:20
data dump from New Zealand, and they've confirmed that it is
1:03:24
legitimate data from a legitimate source. And that data
1:03:29
shows there's no way you can analyze this and come to any
1:03:33
other conclusion other than the vaccines have killed massive
1:03:37
numbers of people about one in 1000 which means the vaccines
1:03:40
have killed 675,000 People in America and 13 about 13 million
1:03:47
people worldwide.
1:03:50
Adam Curry: All right, he has my attention. And he's going to go
1:03:52
into some
1:03:53
John C Dvorak: by the end by the way on this show, months and
1:03:56
months and months ago, we had to one in 1000 number oh yeah, this
1:04:00
is not necessarily Mrs. None of this is new.
1:04:03
Adam Curry: So this kind of leads me to believe that this
1:04:06
data has been so this data has been out for at least a month
1:04:09
people have had it I'm sure Kirsch wasn't the only guy
1:04:12
perhaps we have this this controversy Dare I say thrown
1:04:17
into the ether so that it can be similar some summarily dismissed
1:04:22
by mainstream to say Nah, you know, these guys, nut job,
1:04:26
Master of Science, whatever Steve Kershel anti Vax maybe
1:04:31
it's just been thrown into this, this tumbler so that now it can
1:04:36
be dismissed as a bunch of nutjob high up thank you.
1:04:39
Unknown: It's all the records in a particular database in the New
1:04:42
Zealand Ministry of Health. So this is 1/3 of all the
1:04:46
vaccination records for the New Zealand for New Zealand. And so
1:04:52
with this data, which includes the death data and the date of
1:04:57
birth, we can calculate To everything we want to calculate
1:05:02
in order to show whether the vaccines are safe and effective,
1:05:05
there's only one way to do this calculation. And there's only
1:05:10
one result of the calculation. And there's only one way to
1:05:13
interpret the results of the calculation. And it shows
1:05:17
massive numbers of people killed, effective 13 million
1:05:23
people were killed by their governments worldwide. And this
1:05:26
data proves now there are people who are skilled at gaslighting
1:05:32
people and trying to convince them that this data shows
1:05:35
something other than what it does.
1:05:37
Adam Curry: So there he's saying looks like there could be some
1:05:40
psyop going on. That's how the creative or I Consulting Group
1:05:44
analyze everything is yeah, we do. So then he's going to go
1:05:48
into the analysis of the data. Because this is not a new
1:05:51
analysis that's been done, as you just said, we had this
1:05:55
information, the correct
1:05:56
Unknown: way to analyze this data is to do a time series
1:05:59
cohort analysis, which is the most sophisticated analysis
1:06:03
that's available for data like this. This is what the
1:06:06
epidemiologists use. This is what the UK Office of National
1:06:11
Statistics used to prove the vaccines are safe and effective.
1:06:15
So it's a known technique is generally accepted in the
1:06:19
community. And it's the most sophisticated technique. And it
1:06:24
was only the UK ons which use the sophisticated technique. And
1:06:28
of course, their data was very flawed. But even then, it's
1:06:31
still showed the same signal, as in the New Zealand data. And we
1:06:35
see the same signal in the US Medicare data, which is all gold
1:06:39
standard data. So you have the UK, New Zealand, and the United
1:06:44
States of America, all showing the same result, which is you
1:06:49
take these vaccines, and your risk of dying, the next day is
1:06:54
higher than it was the day before. And it keeps going up
1:06:58
and up and up. So
1:06:59
Adam Curry: this to me is a very level headed dissection or
1:07:03
analysis of the data. Because we were promised safe and effective
1:07:07
we know effective fell by the wayside. Right away. The safe
1:07:12
side is what's in question. So, you know, the entire, the entire
1:07:18
reason I believe, for this to be so controversial, is to make it
1:07:22
dismissible by government agencies because they are hiding
1:07:26
it as witness in his third and final clip. So
1:07:30
Unknown: for dose two, for example, in the United States of
1:07:33
America, we have the Medicare data that proves this. In the
1:07:36
United States of America, you take those two, your risk goes
1:07:40
up every single day, for 365 days in a row. And it goes up at
1:07:47
the end of 365 days. It's climbed by 26% over baseline 26%
1:07:54
over baseline it should be falling by 4%. Because this is
1:08:00
Medicare data, and then the Medicare mortality is about 4%
1:08:03
per year. So this data, when you look at these people who have
1:08:07
been vaccinated with with those two, and you take them and you
1:08:11
look at how they die over time, there should be like 4% of them
1:08:15
should die over a period of 12 months. And what we're finding
1:08:22
is an accelerated death rate that is about it's it's 30%.
1:08:27
Differential from the 4% It's supposed to go down. So there's
1:08:33
no doubt about it. There. You can have have the death curve
1:08:39
march up in a straight line for 12 months without any
1:08:44
fluctuations whatsoever. It is like clockwork it is the most
1:08:49
beautiful graph I have ever seen. And I just got it recently
1:08:54
from a whistleblower inside of health and human services
1:08:57
because the CDC doesn't disclose this data. They have the data
1:09:01
the CDC has access to this Medicare data with vaccines and
1:09:05
deaths they refuse to analyze it.
1:09:10
Adam Curry: So Long live the dudes named Ben they're not all
1:09:15
as articulate like our boy they're New Zealand's because it
1:09:18
didn't come out right and he didn't find the right partner to
1:09:21
blow the whistle with. But I liked Steve Kirsch his the way
1:09:25
he talks about this analysis I think sounds good particularly.
1:09:29
If you add to it this one minute clip from the gold standard
1:09:33
Peter McCullough. The man cannot be taken down because of his
1:09:37
credentials. Who said this just this last week
1:09:40
Unknown: now I mentioned the vaccines since 2021. The
1:09:44
vaccines has ravaged the population in the world.
1:09:50
Worldwide. Two thirds of people took a vaccine the United States
1:09:53
COVID Community states study shows 75% of Americans took a
1:09:57
vaccine thankfully 25% Didn't I was the only public health and
1:10:04
public figure in the United States in writing to question
1:10:06
the vaccines before they came up. And I did it as loudly as I
1:10:10
could. To COVID-19 vaccines, the United States, 94% of Americans
1:10:16
took a messenger RNA vaccine. It is the genetic code for the
1:10:21
potentially lethal spike protein part of the virus. It was the
1:10:25
worst idea ever to install the genetic code by injection, and
1:10:31
allow unbridled production of a potentially lethal protein in
1:10:36
the human body for an uncontrolled duration of time.
1:10:41
Everything we've learned about the vaccine, since they come out
1:10:43
is horrifying.
1:10:46
Adam Curry: So to be clear, I certainly don't think everybody
1:10:50
who was Vax is going to die. There's no evidence of that. But
1:10:54
anecdotally, and you and I just talked about this the other day,
1:10:57
and I'm going to go into all of our I'm going to do that. After
1:11:01
I get back from Indian life. Indianapolis. So it'll be next
1:11:05
maybe Thursday show, I am going to take a look at the increase
1:11:10
in producers who have in their notes mentioned, friends or
1:11:16
spouses dying, and the amount of karma F current cancer karma
1:11:21
requests. You and I anecdotally have seen these go up? Yeah,
1:11:25
tripled? Yes. While you're saying trip, I'm gonna get the
1:11:28
actual number. So there's that. But will this ever really be
1:11:37
discussed? At the level it should be? No
1:11:40
John C Dvorak: doubtful. Doubtful. Why would it be an
1:11:43
embarrassment? Steve
1:11:45
Adam Curry: Kirsch added in a in a slash today? That's what you
1:11:48
do on extra slash? You lash Yeah, I call this lash just
1:11:52
formerly known as tweet. You slash on x. You can now sue the
1:11:57
mRNA COVID vaccine manufacturers for damages and the FDA is
1:12:01
required to take the COVID vaccines off the market why?
1:12:04
adulteration which we talked about the plasmid by act active
1:12:08
contaminant sequences were not pointed out to the regulatory
1:12:11
authorities it is considered adulteration. He says he got off
1:12:14
the phone with his lawyers. And he says that you can sue. And
1:12:18
I'm sure that they're already lawsuits in the making. Yeah,
1:12:21
there's plenty for what good it'll do. What good? No, no,
1:12:25
probably not. It's
1:12:26
John C Dvorak: a concerted effort by the media. Right at
1:12:29
the very top of the pyramid. And the government. Yes. Yeah. And
1:12:34
the media is still there. You can I can turn on the TV right
1:12:37
now and hear somebody tell Oh, get a shot. Get a COVID get a
1:12:39
COVID shot and other COVID shots good for you. And never ends.
1:12:46
Adam Curry: In fact, what did I read? I read the other day, Mia,
1:12:48
we had the triple Demick last year. This year they're talking
1:12:53
about I don't have a clip of it yet. We're waiting for the first
1:12:55
one to pop up. Sin Demick sy n sin Demick What's that mean?
1:13:01
Well, I guess that's more than three cups endemic? I'm gonna
1:13:06
see if it's popped up anywhere yet.
1:13:08
John C Dvorak: By the way, I wanted to get back to this we
1:13:10
talked about the cop thing. Do you know what cops stands for?
1:13:14
Adam Curry: So go look it up citizens on patrol? Exactly. I
1:13:19
knew that sin Demick sin Demick. Sin Demings model of health
1:13:29
focuses on the biosocial complex which consists of interacting co
1:13:33
present or sequential sequential diseases. And the social
1:13:37
environmental factors is climate change. There's not going to
1:13:40
catch a climate change is killing us now. I know what it
1:13:44
John C Dvorak: stands for Conference of the Parties. Oh,
1:13:48
Adam Curry: interesting.
1:13:49
John C Dvorak: What does that even mean? Well, that's the
1:13:53
parties
1:13:53
Adam Curry: are having a party.
1:13:56
John C Dvorak: You're in Dubai believe that. You're gonna be
1:13:58
partying as if
1:13:59
Adam Curry: your conference of partying? Yeah, well, that makes
1:14:01
sense. And meanwhile, we have we have a new term finally for this
1:14:07
China thing.
1:14:08
Unknown: Well, there's a health warning out of Ohio this week
1:14:10
after a rise in childhood pneumonia cases. Some are
1:14:14
calling it white lung syndrome. We're gonna we're gonna get to
1:14:16
that in just a second what exactly that is I want to talk
1:14:19
to Dr. Florin with Lurie Children's Hospital about this.
1:14:22
He is in charge of a pediatrician at he's a
1:14:25
pediatrician at Lurie Children's Hospital so it seems like at
1:14:28
least around here in our newsroom and all my friends I
1:14:31
feel like everybody has been sick not just for like a week or
1:14:33
two but they have this sort of lingering cough that seems to
1:14:37
last for
1:14:38
Adam Curry: a show. Listen, there's something coming up that
1:14:41
a clip just for you. The whole reason for this clip, they just
1:14:43
gonna talk over it and cough. I
1:14:47
Unknown: only I only band Mum,
1:14:49
Adam Curry: I play these clips for you. I'm not planning for
1:14:51
anybody. All my clips are for you. They have this
1:14:54
Unknown: sort of lingering cough that seems to last for weeks. Is
1:14:58
it something out of the ordinary or is Something that happens
1:15:00
sort of every year, and we're just sort of overreacting to it
1:15:04
this time around. Yeah,
1:15:05
no, it's a great question, I
1:15:06
think. Yeah, no.
1:15:09
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, it's a great question doesn't
1:15:12
Adam Curry: get any better than that. Yeah, no, it's a great
1:15:15
Unknown: question. And we're
1:15:16
John C Dvorak: missing was yeah, no, it's a great question. Look,
1:15:19
Unknown: I can do it this time around. Yeah. No, it's a great
1:15:22
question. I think we're all hyper sensitized. Yeah, for what
1:15:24
we experienced.
1:15:25
Adam Curry: Anyway, this white. So it is interesting that it's
1:15:27
Ohio. As we know, Ohio has direct flights from China. So
1:15:32
maybe they brought over some white lung syndrome. And that,
1:15:35
of course, has led some Republicans to take a well known
1:15:39
step in these types of operations.
1:15:41
Unknown: Hoefler. Tonight, both of Florida's US Senators urging
1:15:44
the White House to stop travel to and from China, Senators
1:15:47
Marco Rubio and Rick Scott are among several Republican
1:15:50
lawmakers warning about a mysterious respiratory illness,
1:15:53
they say is spreading in the Asian country. They sent a
1:15:56
letter to President Joe Biden today saying in part that travel
1:15:59
should immediately be restricted quote, until we know more about
1:16:03
the dangers posed by this new illness.
1:16:06
Adam Curry: Yeah, lock him down, lock him down lock downs come in
1:16:09
lock downs. And now a clip that is paused specifically because
1:16:14
you know a lot about this. Dr.
1:16:16
Unknown: Mani Cohen assure lawmakers yesterday that a new
1:16:18
virus is not causing the surge. Listen to this view of COVID. We
1:16:24
do not believe this is a new or novel pathogen that we believe
1:16:28
this is all existing meaning COVID Flu RSV. CNN CHIEF MEDICAL
1:16:33
CORRESPONDENT Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins us now Sanjay, good
1:16:35
morning, always good to have you on what can be behind this. And
1:16:38
how concerned should people be?
1:16:41
One thing that appears to be complicating things, especially
1:16:43
in China is also bacterial infections, they seem to be a
1:16:49
large part of what's driving this as well. And they have a
1:16:52
lot of antibiotic resistance in China. So this is something that
1:16:56
we're really keeping an eye on. If you look at deaths associated
1:16:59
with antibiotic resistance around the world, it's close to
1:17:02
5 million a year. I mean, people may not realize that big in
1:17:05
China alone 600,000. So this is also I think, further
1:17:09
complicating things that with regard to this uptick, they're
1:17:12
likely to get it under control. But they gotta keep an eye on
1:17:14
this problem. I mean, you know, in China, for example, many
1:17:17
antibiotics are sold over the counter. So that just sort of
1:17:20
fuels the problem. There's also a lot of antibiotic use in
1:17:23
livestock. So there's all these different places, we have to
1:17:27
sort of curb the use of antibiotics. And I will tell you
1:17:30
this, it takes a long time to develop new antibiotics that can
1:17:34
take you know, 10 to 15 years, which is why there are people
1:17:37
around the world right now who are trying to find alternative
1:17:41
sources of antibiotics. They're scouring the bottoms of the
1:17:44
ocean with chips, and they're looking even within nature to
1:17:47
see if something can serve as an antibiotic. Now,
1:17:51
Adam Curry: we've discussed this in the in the history of the
1:17:53
show many times, and you know a lot about it.
1:17:56
John C Dvorak: I do. Yeah, I do know, one thing is that the drug
1:18:00
companies, these hot shots that are making billions of dollars
1:18:03
with vaccines, and the fact that they make more money with that,
1:18:06
and they're not liable for anything, have given up on
1:18:09
researching Babett antibiotics, they've stopped, their
1:18:13
antibiotics labs have all been closed down. They don't care
1:18:16
anymore, because they're just after the money. And the
1:18:20
government said nothing to counter this. That's the big
1:18:23
thing. I told you, you know a lot about it. I'm just great
1:18:27
dosing.
1:18:29
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, sad news for Pfizer, they've had to halt
1:18:33
the development of their twice daily weight loss drug. They
1:18:37
were trying to hop on the sediment semaglutide train the
1:18:42
GLP one drugs. Sad day, they halted it because up to 73% of
1:18:48
people in the test experienced nausea, up to 47% reported
1:18:53
vomiting, and 25% experienced diarrhea. I thought that was the
1:18:57
feature of these drugs. And it does so to
1:19:00
John C Dvorak: lose weight that way. I mean, you can do it
1:19:03
yourself. It's called bulimia. But nobody wants to do that
1:19:07
anymore.
1:19:07
Adam Curry: I mean, we did hear from our, our psychiatrist. I
1:19:11
remember the one who talked, who told us about how the how
1:19:16
control the psychiatrists are when it comes to telling
1:19:18
children after one visit. Yep, Bureau boy, you gotta get on
1:19:21
some drugs. Remember this? Yeah. All right. So turns out, she
1:19:26
just wanted to say that she wrote a very long piece in here.
1:19:31
She comes from a background her mom was 400 pounds her entire
1:19:35
life she had she said this is interesting. Watching her over
1:19:39
the years I learned how to hoard and sneak food eat it very
1:19:43
quickly, because otherwise she would eat it first, which I
1:19:46
thought was funny. Like, I adopted and created many food
1:19:49
games I would play to try and control my cravings and intake
1:19:53
nothing worked. I was overweight most of my life. She says that
1:19:56
she had the food noise in her head and Um, her. Her obesity
1:20:02
came from childhood trauma. You know, basically she wanted to
1:20:07
not be attractive because of some abuse that she had as a
1:20:11
young child. This is very well known. This happens a lot,
1:20:14
especially to young girls. But she ends by saying 34 years old
1:20:21
now, at 34 years old, I'm now 43 Everything changed. I sought out
1:20:25
Overeaters Anonymous, they sister program to Alcoholics
1:20:28
Anonymous. Now, they of course have a religious part to this.
1:20:34
So she's embraced God and spirituality but along with
1:20:37
that, Kim a very strong influence to not eat foods that
1:20:40
contain sugar, and over processed foods, then she has
1:20:46
lost 115 pounds she actually sent two pictures before and
1:20:49
after them. So she is just saying that the food noise is
1:20:53
real, but it's coming from sugar addiction and unprocessed foods,
1:21:00
which is the real problem, which is which is the issue that we
1:21:03
have and I saw this in the Netherlands where we used to go
1:21:08
to the butcher get your beef, we went to the actual Baker and we
1:21:11
got our bread the milkman dropped the milk off in the in
1:21:14
the bottles and everyone biked to school, no matter what,
1:21:18
whether now, and now you go look, they're getting fat.
1:21:23
They're getting obese because they've got processed food,
1:21:25
they've got fast foods, we got all kinds of stuff. All all bad
1:21:31
intake, and it's about to get worse now for business news tick
1:21:35
tock is one of the world's that's not what I wanted. I'm
1:21:37
sorry, I forgot to cut it stay
1:21:38
Unknown: competitive with higher end.
1:21:41
John C Dvorak: Girls, after sorry, late when you do the big
1:21:46
grandiose. I
1:21:47
Unknown: screw it up. The Wall Street Journal reports that the
1:21:50
chain has been working for the past McDonald's seven years on
1:21:54
improving its signature hamburgers. After a test run in
1:21:57
Australia. These 50 tweaks which include a brioche bun, fresher
1:22:02
patties and more sauce. Well, they'll be unveiled in the
1:22:05
United States that why is McDonald's doing this well to
1:22:08
stay competitive with higher end chains that have taken a $2.4
1:22:13
billion chunk out of the United States $72 billion burger
1:22:18
market. Needless to say the rollout is massive with 10s of
1:22:22
1000s of McDonald's workers across the globe. No news yet
1:22:27
though. We'll about when these changes will come to the
1:22:29
European McDonald's. So
1:22:31
Adam Curry: McDonald's is going to make 55 Zero improvements to
1:22:35
its hamburger. How about better meat?
1:22:39
John C Dvorak: Well, how about they've been they've been
1:22:42
devolving their burgers I haven't had when I do like to do
1:22:46
a quarterly report for Horowitz's show and and I'm here
1:22:50
to try to have one of these I can't last time I couldn't even
1:22:54
eat it but so I but I do get the ice cream cone once in a while
1:22:58
when it's hot out. But when I do that I go through the normal
1:23:02
line and the drive thru and I look at the menu yes and I gotta
1:23:07
get bring the camera and go get another ice cream cone because
1:23:09
this you know what? A quarter pounders like $11.10 bucks for a
1:23:17
Big Mac. These used to be when I was a kid. This used to be the
1:23:21
15 cent hamburger place 15 cents that 15 cent burger now is
1:23:27
almost three bucks. I mean what did inflation does it no no I
1:23:31
know how dad got the inflation tables this is way beyond
1:23:35
inflation and in the same during that same period Dave to quality
1:23:39
has gone nothing but downhill. Well,
1:23:42
Adam Curry: there's a couple of things one minimum wage
1:23:45
requirements mainly in California for fast food workers
1:23:48
unionization this is this is it's all been predicted. Well
1:23:52
you know if you if you want if you want to do that, then you
1:23:54
know pressure your burger is gonna go up. But I'm very
1:23:57
curious to see a what they did to improve their burger 50
1:24:02
steps. That's got to be taste and texture products they're
1:24:06
mixing in to get ready for every morning show in America. Boy,
1:24:12
oh, let's try the new burgers we're on all the native ads are
1:24:15
going to start coming in.
1:24:17
John C Dvorak: It'd be great. It'd
1:24:18
Adam Curry: be dropping that will be fun. And But meanwhile,
1:24:21
if that's too expensive for you,
1:24:22
John C Dvorak: this is the best burger I think I've ever had.
1:24:25
There's gonna be there's the line. Yeah, I would write this
1:24:27
line and put it into the script that they have to somebody has
1:24:30
to say this. You know, it'd be elrow could be good at this. I
1:24:33
think this is the best burger I've ever eaten. This
1:24:35
Adam Curry: reminds me of the burgers I had with a kid when I
1:24:38
was a kid. That's the line I'd write this. gone back to the
1:24:41
base of this. Whatever McDonald's has done. Its magic.
1:24:45
They got better cows. And it's this is this goes back to the
1:24:49
burger I tasted when I was a kid. I'm selling his burger
1:24:52
classic. If you can't afford that we have a solution for you
1:24:57
Unknown: for macaroni and cheese that has no dairy newly released
1:25:00
today by Chicago based Kraft Foods
1:25:02
it's called not mac and cheese and it was developed with
1:25:05
Chicago startup not called. Kraft is offering two versions
1:25:09
original and white cheddar. The fake cheese will be made out of
1:25:12
fava beans and coconut oil powder. It follows other plant
1:25:16
based products cheese slices and mayonnaise released earlier this
1:25:19
year. Looks like mac and cheese tastes like mac and cheese, not
1:25:23
mac and cheese.
1:25:25
John C Dvorak: You slaves can get used the Mac the mac and
1:25:28
cheese macaroni and cheese shatter melted together mac and
1:25:32
cheese
1:25:33
Adam Curry: mac and cheese mac and cheese so it doesn't even
1:25:36
have cheap cheddar in it anymore. And we've been on the
1:25:39
mac and cheese thing for 14 years. Maybe even longer. We
1:25:44
have said this would be the future of food and here we are
1:25:47
right again. The future of food we were wrong on the fact that
1:25:53
it would be cheese
1:25:56
John C Dvorak: is not even cheese's fava beans or some damn
1:25:59
thing it's processed by a refinery is disgusting.
1:26:05
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable. Now I believe it's believable.
1:26:08
This is where we are this is where we're at.
1:26:10
John C Dvorak: This is it. So I'm going to play three clips
1:26:12
that are a different topic. Okay. Because this is coming
1:26:16
this is coming to a head and the clips are the it says f e i
1:26:21
think is GA but this f e o RG vs vs. Oh
1:26:24
Adam Curry: yes. Yeah, this is a great case. And this case
1:26:27
John C Dvorak: is interesting because it's it's it may or may
1:26:30
not did. But I'll tell you what the issue is as we play a few
1:26:34
these glimpses PLAY CLIP one. The
1:26:36
Unknown: Supreme Court is considering how much authority
1:26:39
federal government agencies have. The Biden administration
1:26:42
has appealed a lower court decision in favor of hedge fund
1:26:45
manager and conservative radio jockey George dark hazy, the SEC
1:26:50
find dark hazy and barred him from the industry after finding
1:26:53
he committed securities fraud. The lower court then rolled a
1:26:56
drug case he should have been allowed a jury trial, we turn
1:27:00
out to our Legal Correspondent, Arlene Richards to sort out the
1:27:03
arguments. Arlene in layman's terms. What happened here?
1:27:07
Well, to state it simply the SEC is a government agency. And for
1:27:11
years, it has been initiating claims against individuals
1:27:14
through its in house tribunal system rather than going to an
1:27:18
outside court. Now Congress gave them that power under the
1:27:21
Securities and Exchange Act. They use the same system in this
1:27:25
case, which find in BB George dark hazy for securities fraud.
1:27:29
Now he appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, sir
1:27:32
Casey's attorney argued that the SEC is powers should be
1:27:36
restricted by the Seventh Amendment of the Constitution,
1:27:40
which gives individuals the right to a jury trial. At oral
1:27:43
argument today, he said that basic securities fraud is a
1:27:47
typically common law claim, and therefore this client should
1:27:51
have gotten a jury trial in a federal court. So this case is
1:27:55
about what is the extent of those Seventh Amendment
1:27:57
restrictions in securities fraud cases where the SEC is seeking
1:28:02
penalties. In this case, the Fifth Circuit also ruled that
1:28:06
the SEC has actions violated articles one and two of the
1:28:10
constitution. So the court effectively invalidated three
1:28:14
aspects of the SEC is operations. Yeah,
1:28:18
Adam Curry: this could change the entire administrative slash
1:28:21
Deep State.
1:28:22
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but the problem is this case is stepping
1:28:27
on the upcoming case about Chevron deference. Yes, yes.
1:28:32
Which is better. That's, that's the case, which is a killer,
1:28:35
because it's about some guy in a fishing boat where he had to
1:28:38
hire inspectors and he had to pay the for the inspector or
1:28:42
government inspectors would be on his boat. And it was just a
1:28:46
complete. The problem was administrative law. It was
1:28:49
always accepted, accepted by the insofar as
1:28:54
Adam Curry: I have, after your clips, I have a 45 second clip
1:28:57
that explains Chevron deference.
1:29:00
John C Dvorak: Okay, so the point is, is that the Chevron
1:29:03
deference case will be the one that can screw over
1:29:06
administrative law, because of abuse of power, which is what's
1:29:11
happened with that upcoming Case. This case is a bad case
1:29:16
because it could step in and under some circumstance, create
1:29:21
a precedent that would set rule over
1:29:25
Adam Curry: Oh, so this guy is a see a shield?
1:29:29
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think so. I think there's just an
1:29:30
accident, but they've everyone's glommed onto it, knowing the
1:29:34
potential for it being destructive. Insofar as the
1:29:38
Chevron deference cases concern which everybody's freaked out
1:29:42
about, they are freaked out, because what that case would do
1:29:46
was take away this, these, these kangaroo courts and all the rest
1:29:50
of it has to be all rethought is a major major case. This case
1:29:54
here may screw it up. Let's Play Part Two,
1:29:56
Unknown: presumably the SEC followed the same proceedings
1:29:59
that it usually does to handle suspected fraud. How is this
1:30:03
case? Are the proceedings different from other cases?
1:30:06
Well, the proceeding itself was not different. But I think the
1:30:09
issues raised on appeal were different. And of course, the
1:30:13
Fifth Circuit's decision was unexpected. Now the court
1:30:16
decided that Congress violated the Seventh Amendment when it
1:30:20
gave the SEC the power to initiate administrative
1:30:24
proceedings and seek penalties, and that by giving them this
1:30:27
power, the SEC has unrestricted authority to choose cases and
1:30:32
seek remedies without going to a federal court. And the Fifth
1:30:36
Circuit said fraud actions like this case should be handled
1:30:40
under federal common law and not by independent agency action.
1:30:44
It seems like the Fifth Circuit unilaterally changed a law or
1:30:48
proceeding that has always been used by the SEC. What was the
1:30:52
Biden administration's response to the ruling?
1:30:54
Well, the Biden administration is, of course very concerned
1:30:57
about this ruling. Notably, the SEC is five member commission is
1:31:01
appointed by the president with the consent of the Senate. So
1:31:04
this ruling undercuts the administration's authority.
1:31:08
Their response to this decision is that the SEC has a long
1:31:12
standing practice of filing cases under the Securities and
1:31:15
Exchange Act. It uses an administrative proceeding that
1:31:19
sends these cases to an administrative law judge, and
1:31:22
that Judge reviews evidence, holds hearings and hears
1:31:25
arguments. If the defendant doesn't agree with the decision,
1:31:29
he has the right to appeal to a court of appeals, which is what
1:31:33
happened here. So in other words, he got due process. They
1:31:37
argued that the Fifth Circuit made significant errors in its
1:31:40
ruling, because Congress does in fact, have the power to appoint
1:31:44
individual matters to agencies, even if they involve common law
1:31:48
issues.
1:31:49
Adam Curry: This is kind of the same thing with the IRS, where
1:31:52
the IRS who have guns by the way, they've showed up in my
1:31:55
office with guns. They, you know, if you want to appeal a
1:32:00
ruling by the IRS, you can but you got to have like $100,000 to
1:32:04
mount a case, which is why most people don't do it. But this
1:32:08
guy's a Wall Street guy. So he said, Screw it, I'm going for
1:32:11
it.
1:32:14
John C Dvorak: Okay, part three.
1:32:15
Unknown: They also argued that Congress's power to delegate
1:32:18
matters to agencies doesn't depend on whether or not the
1:32:22
case is uniquely suited for agency review.
1:32:25
Now, what are some of the concerns expressed by the
1:32:27
Supreme Court justices today during oral argument?
1:32:31
Well, I think the biggest concern here is what effect this
1:32:34
change would ultimately have. And one of the justices noted
1:32:38
that this involves asking the court to change the law, and she
1:32:43
expressed concern that it would require changing the powers of
1:32:47
all federal agencies, Dr. Casey's attorney said this could
1:32:51
be fixed by giving the people a choice of which Tribunal can
1:32:55
review the case. But I think many of the justices were
1:32:58
concerned that the federal courts would now be burdened
1:33:01
with an increase of cases. And actually, some experts have said
1:33:05
this decision is particularly troublesome for federal banking
1:33:09
regulators who solely rely upon in house tribunals. Those
1:33:14
regulators don't have the option to file claims in federal
1:33:17
courts. But the court today, Tiffany seems to be considering
1:33:21
the suggestion that individuals should have an option to choose
1:33:25
the tribunal.
1:33:27
Adam Curry: So here is a 40. I think it's a 45. Second
1:33:31
explainer from last year, November last year about the
1:33:36
Chevron deference case,
1:33:38
Unknown: Tony asks off topic, but can you explain Chevron
1:33:40
deference and the rule of lenity, the Chevron is not a use
1:33:43
of force doctrine. So it's not my area of expertise, but just
1:33:46
you know, general legal knowledge. Chevron was the
1:33:48
Supreme Court case in which the Supreme Court essentially said
1:33:52
that if there's an administrative decision by part
1:33:55
of the executive branch, the EPA makes some kind of
1:33:58
administrative decision. It's not a statute passed by the
1:34:01
legislature by Congress signed by the President. It's not a law
1:34:05
in that sense. It's not case law. It's not an appellate court
1:34:07
ruling.
1:34:08
Adam Curry: It's just the EPA makes an administrative decision
1:34:10
that that is treated much as if it were a statute or was case
1:34:14
law and is equally binding. The effect is to give the
1:34:17
administrative state the bureaucracy, incredible power
1:34:20
and authority that many argue I would argue they should not have
1:34:23
been so that could go back and then the administrative state
1:34:26
would have to adhere to the rules as passed by Congress. And
1:34:30
Congress has to be more specific, because they Congress
1:34:33
has to do some work. Yeah, because they just go Yeah,
1:34:35
that's good. But we'll let the EPA figure it out. Well, at the
1:34:38
IRS figured out but the SEC figured out
1:34:40
John C Dvorak: the irony of the whole Chevron deference case,
1:34:44
which I think is underappreciated, especially in
1:34:47
its ironic for him is that it came out of the Reagan
1:34:50
administration. Oh really? And it came out because because they
1:34:55
loosened that a Reagan told the EPA No, no, no, you guys are too
1:35:00
strict, you've got to pull back these various, you know, these
1:35:04
these these requirements of loosen regulations because it
1:35:07
was, you know, and so they did so they loosened regulations and
1:35:11
got sued for loosening regulations by dropping the
1:35:16
standards. They got sued by a bunch of environmental groups
1:35:20
that went to the
1:35:21
Adam Curry: probably Kennedy. It went betcha
1:35:27
John C Dvorak: I don't know. But it went back to the Supreme
1:35:30
Court. They said, Look, did they say, look, they said, look,
1:35:37
here's what we're gonna do, because they ended up I think
1:35:39
Chevron got involved by being sued, because they took
1:35:41
advantage of the new, looser regulations. And then they got
1:35:44
sued by the local law, environmentalists. And they did
1:35:48
the whole thing went to court and the Supreme Court said,
1:35:50
look, look, look. They said, what, what we have here is a
1:35:55
situation where we have to, we have all these administrative
1:35:59
laws it whatever they say goes. And so if they want to loosen
1:36:05
the law, fine, if they want to tighten it fine, and that's the
1:36:08
way it is. And then that was, became the Chevron deference.
1:36:11
And they've sort of they've environmentalists kind of lost
1:36:13
the case. But that's where it started. So nobody thought about
1:36:17
well, instead of going getting looser and making less
1:36:21
regulations, because you just do it on demand. I'm a regulator i
1:36:24
these regulations, I'm going to change your mold and nothing.
1:36:27
You get a bunch of assholes in there doing crazy stuff, like
1:36:30
making requirements that are unobtainable, which is where we
1:36:33
are now. So now this case is you know, it's abuse of power. It's
1:36:37
very interesting, kind of a switcheroo there, which happens
1:36:40
is what, what happens when the or they overdo things
1:36:44
Adam Curry: since you bring up Reagan? I watched the Arnold
1:36:48
Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix. Yeah, it's a three
1:36:53
parter. And for the it's so it's three hours, basically, the
1:36:58
first two and a half hours. You're like, wow, America is
1:37:02
great. What a great country. Look at this guy. Look at what
1:37:06
he did look at how America worked for him. It's just
1:37:11
everything is beautiful. It's like apple pie almost is so
1:37:14
good. It's so beautiful. And then it gets to the part where
1:37:18
Arnold Schwarzenegger runs for reelection as governor of
1:37:22
California. And he goes, he got he put the this the state in
1:37:27
debt for $222 billion for solar crap before climate change,
1:37:34
because he decided to work. Oh, I got two hands across the
1:37:37
aisle. And then he left. I mean, it was the other states were
1:37:41
worse by the time 2008 came around. But it's it's really
1:37:46
disappointing to see how this kind of a good guy got
1:37:51
completely captured because he tried to be nice, co opted, yes.
1:37:55
He tried to be nice. And those exact same climate change rules
1:38:01
and regulations that he put into California is what Obama
1:38:04
nationalized. This even this, it's all in there. Obama won.
1:38:08
Hey, Arnold was great. Let's do this for all 50 states. And this
1:38:12
was it was
1:38:13
John C Dvorak: yeah, thanks to his wife.
1:38:17
Adam Curry: Well, he was Maria and I think they were divorced
1:38:20
by then.
1:38:20
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think so. I think when he first
1:38:22
started with the climate stuff, he was already Yeah. Could be
1:38:26
could be that was really near the end when he was Yeah, is
1:38:30
stupid is made by No,
1:38:32
Adam Curry: that was that was 96 is when Joseph was born. I mean,
1:38:37
it wasn't no, no,
1:38:39
John C Dvorak: when he got caught. Well, it was pretty old.
1:38:42
But
1:38:44
Adam Curry: he was 14 You know how that went. So, of course, he
1:38:47
was, you know, he was the governor and he was in
1:38:50
Sacramento. So you know, it's very difficult on a family, and
1:38:54
they were going to they were in therapy together. And one day,
1:38:59
he's in therapy, and the therapist says, okay, Maria
1:39:02
wants to ask you a question. And she says, yeah, it's Joseph your
1:39:05
son. And he said, Well, at that point, I just told the truth.
1:39:08
And then boom was all over. And he's it's kind of sad because
1:39:11
he's alone now. You know, he's, he's 70.
1:39:16
John C Dvorak: Donkey that he lives with the donkeys.
1:39:19
Adam Curry: They're the donkeys in the house. Talk he's walking
1:39:23
around this, it's kind of sad. The NHS didn't, it was not a
1:39:28
good ending. But it just shows that, you know, everything was
1:39:32
great. And then he got co opted and then just went down the
1:39:36
tubes. And I can see you know, I can see his thinking. We got
1:39:39
soon in California, we should turn that into energy. Didn't
1:39:43
work out that way. I'm going to replay one of the two clips we
1:39:48
had from Richard Haass with Morning Joe, which we played a
1:39:52
week and a half ago because there is news on the Ukraine
1:39:55
Russia front that is important to discuss and there's no clips,
1:39:58
so I'm going to replay This how
1:40:00
Unknown: long to our allies in Europe who've all done? I think,
1:40:04
together, NATO has done an extraordinary job. How much
1:40:07
longer? Do we continue pushing? I think, what what many people
1:40:16
in Pentagon would think see unrealistic goal of Ukraine
1:40:20
driving every last Russian out of out of their country? It's
1:40:25
exactly the right. Question, Joe. And what concerns me is
1:40:29
when people get this solution and increasingly come to the way
1:40:32
you were, you and I are, that as desirable as it is, it's simply
1:40:36
not feasible. They're going to increasingly say, and we're
1:40:38
hearing it in the house, we're hearing in parts of Europe, why
1:40:41
should we keep doing this, we're already stretched, we're trying
1:40:43
to support Israel, we're worried about Taiwan. And even if we
1:40:48
give everything we need to give or want to give to Ukraine, it
1:40:51
still won't lead to success. What I argued, therefore, is the
1:40:55
United States needs to have some very direct conversations with
1:40:58
Ukraine with President Solinsky. Talking about reducing their
1:41:02
emphasis on liberating land increasingly put all their
1:41:05
emphasis on holding on to what they've got, in the long run
1:41:09
diplomatically through sanctions, yes, we can try to
1:41:11
see the rest of their territory return. But for right now, let's
1:41:14
have 80% of this country save 80% of this country, rebuilt, I
1:41:19
would actually propose the ceasefire as an interim
1:41:22
arrangement to expose the Russians for what they are, so
1:41:25
we can rebuild support for Ukraine and in this country. But
1:41:30
we've had two fighting seasons, the idea that one or two or
1:41:33
three more years of this is going to result in success. I
1:41:36
simply don't see it, Russia is on a war footing. They have
1:41:39
access all sorts of arms from North Korea and Iran. So I just
1:41:42
think, anytime in foreign policy anytime in life, there's a big
1:41:46
gap between what you're trying to do and your ability to do it.
1:41:49
You've either got to increase your means or lower your goals.
1:41:53
And I think here the only realistic option as a tactical
1:41:56
measure is to lower our goals. So
1:41:58
Adam Curry: we took that as an obvious signal to morning, Joe.
1:42:02
Well,
1:42:02
John C Dvorak: let's make sure that we mentioned the fact that
1:42:05
this guy he was talking to Morning Joe is the head of the
1:42:07
Council on Foreign Relations.
1:42:09
Adam Curry: Big Big Cheese and he goes on Morning, Joe really?
1:42:12
So yeah, he makes no sense. He may even be just be friends.
1:42:16
With Scarborough say Hey, bro, like. So now we know that there
1:42:21
was an article in The Economist which we missed. And for it to
1:42:26
be any economist at all, which is very left leaning with the
1:42:29
new editor who has been there a couple of years that both the
1:42:34
nanny most both the military generals are the leaders of the
1:42:38
Russian military and the Ukrainian military, both named
1:42:41
Valerie interesting Valera Bhaduri. Have been talking and
1:42:46
they have decided they're going to end this thing. Seymour Hersh
1:42:51
wrote about it and pretty good substack everyone in Europe is
1:42:54
talking about this the peace talks. An American businessman
1:42:57
who spent years dealing with high level Ukrainian diplomatic
1:43:00
and military issues and government told me earlier this
1:43:02
week, but there are lots of questions between the ceasefire
1:43:04
and the settlement, the veteran journalist on an Anatol Lieven
1:43:09
wrote this week that the battlefield situation Ukraine,
1:43:12
and the ceasefire negotiations for peace settlement are
1:43:15
becoming more and more necessary for Ukraine. He said that it was
1:43:18
exceptionally difficult for the Ukrainian government headed by
1:43:21
Volodymyr Zelensky. To agree to talks given his repeated refusal
1:43:24
to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The
1:43:27
driving force behind of those talks has not been Washington or
1:43:31
Moscow, or Biden or Putin. But instead the two high ranking
1:43:34
generals who run the war. Valerie garish come off of
1:43:37
Russia and Valerie Zelazny of Ukraine. And on the table is
1:43:43
everything that we heard here from Haas 80%, they'll keep
1:43:46
their 80% of the 20% that they have recaptured, which was what
1:43:50
it was about in the first place. Interestingly, on the table
1:43:54
appears to be the allowance for Ukraine to become a NATO
1:43:58
country, as long as they do not have any weaponry on the new
1:44:04
border, as it is now. And it can be defensive only and that would
1:44:09
be the concession that Putin makes they keep Crimea, they
1:44:13
keep the Donbass region and a NATO can then or Ukraine can
1:44:18
then become a NATO country, which is like wow, has has Putin
1:44:22
learned nothing, but okay. But it seems like this is is is
1:44:27
happening and even in The Economist, First Lady, Alina
1:44:32
Zelenka told the economists she does not want President
1:44:35
Volodymyr Zelensky to lead and to lead another term and he
1:44:38
needs to find something new in life. She doesn't want him to be
1:44:43
president anymore. So I think this is feels like this is
1:44:48
John C Dvorak: a handful at home. She looks like it
1:44:53
Adam Curry: a handful at home. So it looks like this is really
1:44:57
happening. It's coming to an end. Now of course they have to
1:45:00
Hit I loved the end of Hersha substack. The two generals may
1:45:06
continue to talk and Putin may indeed be interested in a
1:45:09
settlement that gives him permanent control of Crimea and
1:45:12
the four provinces he has claimed. But the Lenski remains
1:45:15
the wildcard, the American official said that Zelinsky has
1:45:18
been told that this is a military to military problem to
1:45:21
solve and the talks will go on with or without you, if
1:45:24
necessary. The American official told me we can finance his
1:45:28
voyage to the Caribbean, which kind of goes in line with those
1:45:31
two yachts he supposedly just bought it.
1:45:34
John C Dvorak: He's got Yes, he's also got houses all over
1:45:36
the world. That was a documentary on YouTube done by
1:45:39
Scott Ritter Ritter. That was very detailed, and all the
1:45:43
houses that Zelinsky has managed to accumulate all over the
1:45:46
world. So yeah, he can they can get them out of there if they
1:45:49
want to. There's I got a weird Ukraine clip that I wanted to
1:45:53
play, which is this just off the wall. I was collecting good news
1:45:58
clips. And this is from the Shreveport Louisiana local
1:46:03
station. And I guess there's a bunch of and I think, I don't
1:46:08
know how this isn't a violation of the Logan Act. I play this
1:46:11
clip,
1:46:12
Unknown: the war in Ukraine rages on and today a delegation
1:46:15
from the Ukrainian parliament met in downtown Shreveport to
1:46:19
inform the public about the state of the war, and how
1:46:21
crucial economic investments from American businesses are
1:46:25
needed to help rebuild that country are Madison Edwards
1:46:28
spoke with members of the Ukrainian parliament, and he has
1:46:31
more on what they discuss. So what was it Madison?
1:46:34
Well, Jeff Louisiana in the Ukraine share similar port
1:46:37
exports. That's why the members of the parliament are asking the
1:46:40
local tree port citizen to help their cause and for business
1:46:43
leaders in the area to invest in the rebuilding of the nation.
1:46:47
Louisiana is a major trading partner of Ukraine, and the
1:46:50
Ukrainian delegation met in downtown Shreveport to discuss
1:46:54
strengthening ties between the state and Ukraine through
1:46:57
business, Energy, Agriculture and humanitarian efforts amid
1:47:01
the ongoing conflict, Member of Parliament, David, Eric AMITA
1:47:05
says tree port and Ukraine share similar business exploits.
1:47:09
Adam Curry: So the thinking here is that this is Mike Johnson,
1:47:12
Speaker of the House is home state. He's their congressman.
1:47:15
Mike, definitely aware of getting to him influence
1:47:18
operation. I mean, they so what it sounds like is, well, of
1:47:23
course the Biden administration wants no end. Because let's
1:47:28
because then the focus will come back to him and Hunter, which,
1:47:31
of course, is what we're going to be wasting our time with for
1:47:33
the next year. Thanks, Republicans in Congress. That,
1:47:42
so neither the Biden administration or the Lensky
1:47:45
wants to give this up. Give me credit, man. So we need a
1:47:50
solution. So everybody can bow out. And I mean, maybe this is
1:47:54
something for the curry Devorah Consulting Group, we need a
1:47:57
solution to everybody can save face.
1:48:01
John C Dvorak: Yeah, a lot of space saving needed here. This
1:48:04
report went on for a long time. I didn't clip the whole thing it
1:48:06
was I saw it, I saw the whole thing. Well, the one point that
1:48:10
they kind of made in there as these guys is group of
1:48:13
Parliamentarians from, or parliament members from Ukraine
1:48:18
are gonna hit like 10 states along the
1:48:22
Adam Curry: well. That's part of the this is part of the
1:48:23
rebuilding. This is the rebuilding part.
1:48:25
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're trying to set set the stage but
1:48:29
Well, I think that when it seems pretty screwy, if he asked me
1:48:32
the when would be
1:48:35
Adam Curry: Ukraine becoming a NATO country? That would be that
1:48:39
that's an obvious win for for the US. White House. All right.
1:48:46
We got them, but they're nowhere near being prepared for that.
1:48:52
Right? Yes. Has Sweden even been approved yet?
1:48:55
John C Dvorak: Sweden still, I think still in in limbo, Finn,
1:49:00
Finland
1:49:00
Adam Curry: has near Finland got their approval. So I mean, they
1:49:07
need something now.
1:49:10
John C Dvorak: What's possible also the following. Let's say
1:49:13
that deal is done where? Yeah, you can join NATO. But then but
1:49:17
joining NATO, NATO does have to have a majority or not a
1:49:22
majority but a unanimous consent but all the NATO members,
1:49:26
including Russia,
1:49:28
Adam Curry: no, I'm just kidding.
1:49:30
John C Dvorak: People actually would would believe this. You
1:49:33
know, I know. We've seen clips or oh, I don't know why. We've
1:49:37
seen clips. But so you do a behind the scenes deal with
1:49:41
Turkey, Turkey a turkey a and tell them hey, Nix this, okay.
1:49:49
And then you Nix it or even even Putin could do that deal. I
1:49:54
mean, somebody could do it because Turkey doesn't care at
1:49:56
this point, don't they? They're the ones screwing up though.
1:49:58
Sweden. Yeah, yes, yeah. Yeah. So it's possible that they won't
1:50:05
I mean, they Yeah, okay. We let him in but we won't let him in.
1:50:07
Adam Curry: Well, no, we'll let him in. We're all for good to go
1:50:10
US Europe. They all say okay, it's gonna be great. They're
1:50:14
going to be NATO that is the stepping stone towards full
1:50:18
European membership, which they also won't get.
1:50:22
John C Dvorak: That would be the worst thing that Europe, Europe.
1:50:25
They don't
1:50:25
Adam Curry: want another grease on their hands. So and then
1:50:28
you're right, then then we were then we have turkey aid just be
1:50:31
the the foil the foil continuous foil, like nope, nope, nope,
1:50:37
nope. But But I mean, it's, it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful
1:50:42
thing that is coming to an end. I'm so happy. We need less war.
1:50:47
In our lives,
1:50:48
John C Dvorak: we can deal with less mess that is just a
1:50:50
regularization of parts of the country. Well, they have
1:50:53
Adam Curry: the rebuilding projects all good to go. I mean,
1:50:55
that everybody's ready. And I'm sure there's money to be made.
1:50:58
There's tons. Well, there's money in the in the How about
1:51:02
that? How about we we give you rush as money with 300 billion
1:51:09
that's been on the table for a long time. I'm sure the Rush has
1:51:12
written it off. You know, they're trying to screw Russia
1:51:15
with the methane bullcrap. So they could still kind of kind of
1:51:20
have their anti Russian stance. I mean, there is something new.
1:51:24
And this was so funny. We've been through this so many times
1:51:28
with Russia, but Okay, here it is one more time
1:51:31
Unknown: gay clubs across Russia have been raided just days after
1:51:34
the country ruled the LGBT plus community was extremist. The
1:51:38
reports from Moscow followed the highest court in Russia banning
1:51:41
what it called the Global LGBTQ movement. Human rights groups
1:51:45
have slammed the actions. So this
1:51:46
Adam Curry: hasn't quite hit in the US yet. I'm expecting it
1:51:49
because what happened is 48 hours after the Russian
1:51:54
government, and really what they're after is one LGBTQ
1:51:58
organization, which is a nonprofit, an NGO, who of
1:52:04
course, are weaponizing LGBTQ, just as it's done here in the
1:52:08
US, they say, Hey, you guys are an extremist organization.
1:52:13
You're not allowed anymore. If this is not new, Russia has
1:52:16
gotten written rid of all kinds of NGOs, because they usually
1:52:20
are, you know, agencies, particularly for the United
1:52:24
States M CIA mi five, mi six, mi five, mi six. So but this is
1:52:30
being twisted to say 48 hours after the after they outlawed
1:52:34
LGBTQ they they invaded all the bars, they raided the bars,
1:52:40
which which was for I guess they were looking for some they would
1:52:43
try and do some big drug bust. So that might catch a storm,
1:52:46
they might use that. I mean, that could be a way to refocus
1:52:51
the Palestine energy. Now, because something has to happen
1:52:56
with that the Palestine energy is a problem as a real problem,
1:53:04
because they're just losing losing grip over that. So you
1:53:09
know, we need to remind everybody that Trump is a
1:53:12
dictator, and the worst scenario imaginable in your life is if
1:53:17
Trump is reelected president, again, you say Donald Trump, if
1:53:21
he is, I'm sorry, this is Liz Cheney on CBS.
1:53:24
John C Dvorak: You don't waste anyone even give her a mic.
1:53:27
Adam Curry: For this reason. And this reason only, you say Donald
1:53:30
Unknown: Trump, if he is reelected, it will be the end of
1:53:33
the Republic.
1:53:33
What do you mean, he's done all this what he will do? It's very
1:53:37
easy to see the steps that he will take people who say, Well,
1:53:42
if he's elected, it's not that dangerous, because we have all
1:53:45
of these checks and balances, don't fully understand the
1:53:50
extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co
1:53:54
opted. One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of
1:53:59
a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States
1:54:05
dictatorship.
1:54:06
Adam Curry: It's a replay. It's whenever you play Rocket
1:54:09
John C Dvorak: crap, when everyone was lapping it up like
1:54:11
there's no tomorrow
1:54:14
Adam Curry: is Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney
1:54:16
John C Dvorak: has got to be the lowest form of human. Well,
1:54:21
there was a Gavin Newsom is DeSantis the bay which was a
1:54:26
complete waste of an hour and a half 5
1:54:28
Adam Curry: million viewers, apparently. Yeah, well, that's
1:54:33
more than I expected.
1:54:34
John C Dvorak: And it is not a slouch. Drew, so I didn't clip
1:54:39
any of it and I wasn't about you. And it was a lot of talking
1:54:43
over each other. But I did get a 15 second clip of Capehart who
1:54:51
saw the clip who saw the whole thing and he had all these
1:54:54
things to say about it and, and he did this little ditty
1:54:59
Unknown: he Think that Governor Newsom appearance though, helps
1:55:03
the campaign of President Biden in any way?
1:55:05
I do, because when you and I watched the debate, every almost
1:55:09
every, in every sentence, it was Biden, Harris Biden, Harris
1:55:13
Biden, Harris, President Harris.
1:55:16
Adam Curry: It was promotion was a promotion. That was great.
1:55:24
Well, here's the here's boots on the ground. What's happening?
1:55:28
Chicago, which now is finally building migrant camps in the
1:55:33
city, with the huge tents, which should have been up a long time
1:55:38
ago, because it's 16 degrees in Chicago, and all the migrants
1:55:43
who have been partially bussed in from Texas, but others have
1:55:46
been flown in. And others choose willingly to go
1:55:49
John C Dvorak: to Chicago. Yes.
1:55:53
Adam Curry: But these tents, which will house I think, a
1:55:57
couple of 1000 migrants are in black neighborhoods. We've been
1:56:04
following this for a while. Yeah. And and this is not very,
1:56:08
this has now come to a head where the black Chicagoans are
1:56:11
saying we're voting Republican,
1:56:14
Unknown: and any Republican candidate, inner city of
1:56:16
Chicago, now is your time, because we are done with the
1:56:21
democratic.
1:56:29
Black community. So we're here today to say, Okay, if that's
1:56:35
what we were, we don't have to support the Democratic Party.
1:56:39
Right, right. We don't have to continue to support people who
1:56:43
are not going to support us. And the Democratic Party, here in
1:56:47
this city, in this state, and in this country is not supported.
1:56:52
You got Republicans and Democrats on the other side,
1:56:56
guess what, they are part of the same birthright. It doesn't
1:57:02
matter anymore which party we go with. But I tell you this, I
1:57:07
read the deal with the snake that outfit himself of the
1:57:10
Republican Party, then the snake that's coming up in the
1:57:13
Democrat. We continue to stay up with this. We're gonna continue
1:57:18
to allow our state representatives, our congressmen
1:57:23
and our mayor you got to show us the way that we got to show you
1:57:32
a great day in the city of Chicago when a Democratic
1:57:36
Convention comes here that a lot of black voters took Republicans
1:57:42
deal with that. We deal
1:57:44
Adam Curry: with that. Yeah, that's right. The convention
1:57:48
coming in March in Chicago. Every
1:57:51
John C Dvorak: time you went to Chicago, it becomes a riot. Riot
1:57:53
is situation. Marketing back to the 68 convention.
1:57:57
Adam Curry: It's a cycle. It must be how many years is
1:58:02
John C Dvorak: 60 years it'd be 40 years, 60 years? 60 years
1:58:07
cycle? Just like the certain stock market moves? Yeah. So you
1:58:12
have 60 years later, you get a you know about 60
1:58:16
Adam Curry: It'll be ready to be a real bad look. If the cops are
1:58:18
beaten blackheads. I'll tell you that. Well, they will. They'll
1:58:20
be beaten up. Yeah, but it'd be a bad look.
1:58:23
John C Dvorak: That was a bad look. When they're beaten the
1:58:24
students and six good Democrats, hey,
1:58:27
Adam Curry: we need to bring that back. Beat students. We
1:58:31
need to bring that back that crazy. This beat the beat them
1:58:35
students meet them students. One of our producers, was intrigued
1:58:40
by our discussion of potential vice presidential picks
1:58:44
John C Dvorak: for President Trump. We have a we have pics
1:58:47
coming in. Well, we have.
1:58:49
Adam Curry: He has the odds. He has the oddsmakers from the
1:58:51
sports bet in Australia, which I thought was interesting, but
1:58:55
this is interesting. Okay. So I guess the lowest number is the
1:58:59
most likely right. So it's one in six. That's that that is more
1:59:03
likely than one in 40. Correct? Yeah. Okay. All right. So in
1:59:09
order of appearance, one in six, Kristi, noem from she's South
1:59:14
Dakota. Yep.
1:59:15
John C Dvorak: South Dakota governor. One
1:59:18
Adam Curry: in 6.5. Elise Stefanik, which was unknown to
1:59:24
me. But
1:59:27
John C Dvorak: I've heard her name but I can't think of what
1:59:28
she is. She didn't know where the Aussies came up with this.
1:59:31
Well, they'll
1:59:32
Adam Curry: better look.
1:59:33
John C Dvorak: I know
1:59:34
Adam Curry: they'll bet on anything because they got
1:59:35
nothing better to do in Australia than bet on gun
1:59:38
countries dead countries. Sorry Aussies, but you got screwed.
1:59:42
She is a Republican congresswoman from New York.
1:59:48
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, I know who she is. She's the she hasn't
1:59:51
got a prayer. Okay.
1:59:54
Adam Curry: 1721 Vivec Ramaswamy then it goes to 10 In 110, Nikki
2:00:01
Haley, then we go one and 12 Tim Scott tied with Tucker Carlson.
2:00:08
John C Dvorak: No brother.
2:00:10
Adam Curry: I know this is why Australia goes off the rails.
2:00:12
Then it one in 14 Kerry Lake. Sarah her
2:00:16
John C Dvorak: legacy has been a lot of people are pushing Carrie
2:00:19
lake.
2:00:21
Adam Curry: I don't think President Trump wants her to
2:00:25
possibly upstage him and certain guests
2:00:27
John C Dvorak: she's enough stager. No doubt about that
2:00:30
she's
2:00:30
Adam Curry: upstage or yeah, that that could be a problem.
2:00:33
Then my my potential pick one and 21 so those odds are not
2:00:38
good Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And then we get into just you know,
2:00:41
like Marsha Blackburn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ben Carson.
2:00:45
Gregory Abbott know that Marco Rubio I mean, it just I mean it
2:00:50
let's see odds it. One in 41 is Tulsi Gabbard. Bobby, the
2:00:57
opposite 41 JD Vance at 41. So the odds have it a Kristi, Noem,
2:01:04
at least a phonic that says she couldn't be. She's definitely
2:01:08
had made the writing Kristi, noem being a good candidate.
2:01:12
Man. The South Dakotans are not happy with her. They're loud.
2:01:16
What? No, they just haven't been a. Craig who's one of our
2:01:20
producers. She braised
2:01:21
John C Dvorak: a lot about being the greatest governor in South
2:01:23
Dakota in the history of the state.
2:01:25
Adam Curry: Now they have all kinds of issues where there's
2:01:26
lots of stuff she's done that the South Dakotans don't like
2:01:30
particularly the conservatives that I'll have Craig Wright
2:01:34
credited Weinberg to have him write write it up the write it
2:01:36
up for me the he'll tell me succinctly what it is but I know
2:01:39
because that's when Megan Kelly last last time I was on emphasis
2:01:44
on last time I was on
2:01:47
John C Dvorak: the last time you're on yeah she's like
2:01:49
Adam Curry: Christie Christie no my sadness out the colons don't
2:01:52
like it that's not true. Okay Megan
2:01:56
John C Dvorak: your your invitation of Kelly is almost
2:02:00
spot on. I mean, I can't tell if you're if if she's actually in
2:02:04
the studio with you I know
2:02:05
Adam Curry: it's like we switched over to New York. She's
2:02:09
now going into acting to make it no no Megan Kelly Yeah,
2:02:16
everyone's okay so daily wire up doing movie projects now that's
2:02:21
what that CEO guy is roaring always want to do. So I guess
2:02:25
they're doing a district
2:02:26
John C Dvorak: who I'm reminded of, of remembering Yahoo was run
2:02:30
by that guy from Hollywood. What was his name? Start with a bee I
2:02:35
think I can't remember somebody that did a troll room might
2:02:38
remember it was but he was such a Hollywood he was going to turn
2:02:41
everything into like he was gonna start using Yahoo money to
2:02:44
produce movies.
2:02:46
Adam Curry: Yeah, and then and then they finally spent all this
2:02:48
time in LA and never was up here. Yeah, and then they threw
2:02:51
the whole thing to Marissa Meyer and just let it go to crap.
2:02:55
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
2:02:56
Adam Curry: what was the name of what was that guy and he was a
2:02:58
real Hollywood guy. troll him doesn't know anyway, so daily
2:03:02
wire doesn't know that stuns me of trolls not paying attention
2:03:07
the trolling that's what they do. They're too young they're
2:03:11
too young to know this stuff. I mean, we could look it up I
2:03:15
mean, let's see your hair. Yeah, now I gotta know Yahoo. Let's
2:03:19
do. Terry, wasn't it Terry something Terry
2:03:26
John C Dvorak: son Terry. Terry.
2:03:29
Adam Curry: Terry. Terry Semel, Terry Semel. I did that from
2:03:32
memory. Well, good for you very much. Anyway, so the boring
2:03:38
company a boring if the boring company boring the CEO of daily
2:03:42
wire. So he's all on the movie tip. And so they're doing an
2:03:47
animated short or as series which I think that's what Megan
2:03:51
is going to be acting in. And of course, what everyone's talking
2:03:54
about is Lady ballers. The movie. You heard about Lady
2:03:58
ballers have me? Yeah, yeah. And I and I think this is a mistake
2:04:03
to be honest about I think it's counterproductive. Now I like
2:04:09
humor. What
2:04:10
John C Dvorak: What's What's the mistake?
2:04:14
Adam Curry: If they're what is their mission? Is that missing?
2:04:17
Just have
2:04:17
John C Dvorak: no I met you what you're saying you're like the
2:04:19
guy who owns a little store in the corner and the guy across
2:04:22
the street selling junk jewelry. So you sell junk junk jewelry,
2:04:26
and then another guy down the street does knife sharpening. So
2:04:29
you do knife sharpening and pretty soon, the store that you
2:04:33
started to sell something or other is now just a store full
2:04:37
of different junk processes.
2:04:40
Adam Curry: Wow, I hadn't thought of explaining it that
2:04:42
way. Well, that's what
2:04:44
John C Dvorak: it is. Know what your do and do it. Well. So this
2:04:49
is all of a sudden, well, you know, while we're at it, why
2:04:51
don't we do this in that now?
2:04:53
Adam Curry: Well, so they have some big names that they have in
2:04:57
this in this movie. Then it's an anti woke move. v. And, you
2:05:01
know, it's like it just seems like why do you you're doing
2:05:08
John C Dvorak: an anti woke movies as bad as doing a woke
2:05:11
movie?
2:05:13
Adam Curry: Oh, there you go. That's it was just as bad as
2:05:16
doing getting
2:05:16
John C Dvorak: politics out of it. I mean, that's what you're
2:05:19
talking about. Yeah,
2:05:20
Adam Curry: I think you're I think that's that's what I'm
2:05:22
saying. Yeah. Is that Yeah, let's do a good movie. There he
2:05:26
goes,
2:05:26
John C Dvorak: right making good, good, entertaining.
2:05:30
Adam Curry: Joy. That's the movie. We'll all enjoy watching
2:05:32
that everybody can go and watch. But I guess that's what Barbie
2:05:37
was.
2:05:39
John C Dvorak: Maybe a lot of everybody went and watched it.
2:05:41
Yeah, it was.
2:05:42
Adam Curry: I still have. I still haven't seen it. I can't
2:05:45
bring myself to watch. You
2:05:46
John C Dvorak: won't get past that. You will not get it over
2:05:48
1020 minutes into his No way. No, I'm because it's silly. It's
2:05:52
a silly promotional film. Yes. Yes. It's very pink though. And
2:05:58
I will say this when the Oscars come out if they don't give set
2:06:02
decoration or art director to the person who did that movie
2:06:08
screwing up because it is Stunning. Stunning.
2:06:13
Adam Curry: So before we take a break, I think we should
2:06:16
probably discuss Israel and Hamas lips. Yeah, let me let me
2:06:23
kick this off with the Morning Joe clip just to get us into the
2:06:26
mood a little
2:06:27
Unknown: deeper into the New York Times report that Israel
2:06:29
new Hamas was planning a wide scale assault a year before the
2:06:35
October 7 terrorist attack one year, according to the Israeli
2:06:40
officials obtained an approximately 40 page document,
2:06:45
which they codenamed as Ed said Jericho wall. It outlined point
2:06:50
by point exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to
2:06:55
the deaths of about 1200 people probably many more. The Times
2:07:00
writes Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed
2:07:04
the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for
2:07:08
Hamas to carry out. Well.
2:07:11
The problem with that is and we're going to talk to Jackie
2:07:14
about this very soon water behind this right. The problem
2:07:17
with that is that Israel needs us funding. We need to know what
2:07:24
were are we funding Benjamin Netanyahu? are we funding his
2:07:29
designs to stay in power? are we funding an operation where we
2:07:34
have to look and guess Okay, well, is this for the in the
2:07:37
best interest of Israeli people? Or is it this in the best
2:07:41
interest of a Prime Minister who deliberately focused on the West
2:07:45
Bank deliberately turned a blind eye to this plan for a year, a
2:07:53
year where it's specifically laid out? So I'm not so sure
2:07:58
that Congress and the President want to approve even more money
2:08:03
for Israel? Until we know that there's actually somebody
2:08:07
wanting Israel there it is that even the Israeli support the
2:08:11
Israelis don't trust Benjamin Netanyahu.
2:08:14
Adam Curry: I think this is the way they want to manage this
2:08:17
crisis. Because you can't gene change us You can't hate the
2:08:23
Jews but everybody can hate Bibi that's an easy one being even
2:08:28
our own lives like screw Bibi Netanyahu he's no good and now
2:08:33
it's like all we don't want to be funding him. Yes, regime
2:08:35
change, which would make the woke Israeli population very
2:08:40
happy.
2:08:45
John C Dvorak: This Yeah, this is interesting, because we
2:08:48
already had Richard Haass, no, this is a we know there's a
2:08:51
conduit between the Council on Foreign Relations and this
2:08:55
stupid show. So this is just this is the talking points from
2:09:01
the CFR Yep. We have to assume that I think so. The talking
2:09:05
points are the souls of the CFR wants to get rid of maybe for
2:09:09
whatever reason and this bull crap with this report like oh,
2:09:13
and he kept ignoring it day after day as like as though they
2:09:15
were shoving in his face every single day and his knack get
2:09:18
that out of there. He looked at it like a million other reports
2:09:21
you get when you're in a job like that, and they come pass
2:09:24
your desk and Oh, that's interesting. Oh, that's
2:09:26
interesting isn't different one every day and they're all doing
2:09:28
different things. You choose one or the other. And your guys are
2:09:31
supposed to tell you what's important and what's not. And if
2:09:34
the head of the chief of intelligence tells you this is
2:09:37
going to happen, you take it seriously, but it's just some
2:09:39
random thing to go through. i This is bullcrap. I
2:09:42
Adam Curry: think they can make him the new Putin. He's he has
2:09:48
the face for it. Let's be honest.
2:09:51
John C Dvorak: By the way, he's looking like he's getting
2:09:54
getting time as you were
2:09:56
Adam Curry: getting tired. You're tired. Like I didn't talk
2:09:58
like this.
2:10:00
John C Dvorak: So they're gonna oust him in some way shape or
2:10:02
form and but
2:10:03
Adam Curry: also focus the energy not on Israel but on Bibi
2:10:08
Netanyahu that is that's a way out of this they need a way out
2:10:14
they be
2:10:16
John C Dvorak: phony baloney report is a ruse is a great idea
2:10:20
yes
2:10:20
Adam Curry: that's there you go that's our CIA sometimes the
2:10:24
whole report
2:10:24
John C Dvorak: could be both for all we know could be bogus
2:10:27
everything he said we don't know any of it to be true that he
2:10:30
kept ignoring the report lab lab law we don't know that one thing
2:10:34
he says Scarborough borough said we don't know that one. Any one
2:10:39
item is actually true.
2:10:41
Adam Curry: Oh, it's unnecessary. We know that Russia
2:10:44
Russia Russia very perfect phone call very fine people come on we
2:10:48
don't need that. It
2:10:50
Unknown: just repeats very fine for my favorite
2:10:53
Adam Curry: that's repeated over Dave Rubin tried to correct that
2:10:56
on he was on with Bill a Bill Maher where
2:10:59
John C Dvorak: there's always somebody trying to correct it to
2:11:01
no avail. Yeah, and he was on with
2:11:05
Adam Curry: what's the old the old coot the USMC, hoodie pink
2:11:09
hoodie wearing guy used to be married to Mary matalin. Guy
2:11:15
Yeah, the bald guy. The old Cucamonga ball old
2:11:17
John C Dvorak: fart. Yeah.
2:11:18
Adam Curry: Yeah. And he was like, very fine people. And Dave
2:11:21
Rubin is like, well, you know, he's and just everyone laughed
2:11:24
over him. Dave Rubin could not could not could not get the
2:11:27
correction in. No, we're not going to happen. James Carville.
2:11:30
Thank you.
2:11:31
John C Dvorak: Carville. Yeah Harville Yeah, yeah, no,
2:11:35
Adam Curry: no no you can't even under I couldn't clip it because
2:11:37
you can't understand you say pretty much like that. Yeah, you
2:11:42
can't understand them anymore. Can't Alright, so what clip Do
2:11:46
you have what clips do you have about this? Well, I
2:11:48
John C Dvorak: got the update the as of yesterday, update on
2:11:51
the on the whole thing. Of course it's from PBS and so it
2:11:54
will have a certain anti Jew a Jew hate slant, but it's okay.
2:12:01
This is the guys update. elitist voices of America. This is NPR
2:12:09
where PBS
2:12:10
Unknown: tonight hopes for another pause in the fighting in
2:12:13
Gaza anytime soon have dimmed considerably. Israeli Prime
2:12:17
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his negotiators home
2:12:20
from Qatar, saying the talks there had hit a dead end since
2:12:24
fighting resumed at least 200 Palestinians have been killed
2:12:27
bringing the death toll since October 7. That's more than
2:12:30
15,200 Those numbers from the Hamas run Gaza health ministry.
2:12:35
Meanwhile, the focus of Israel's renewed aerial bombardment of
2:12:38
Gaza has shifted from the North. Yeah, in the snap pops,
2:12:45
Adam Curry: we gotta remind everybody NAT pops that's what
2:12:48
you do as a video editor. Good work, Israel's
2:12:50
Unknown: renewed aerial bombardment of Gaza has shifted
2:12:53
from the north. In the southern Gaza City of Khan Yunis, the
2:13:00
streets are engulfed in smoke. The Israeli military has dropped
2:13:04
leaflets urging residents of the city and the surrounding area to
2:13:07
evacuate further south but beleaguered Gaza and say there
2:13:11
is nowhere to go. They seek refuge wherever they can find it
2:13:17
like this makeshift camp outside all Nasr hospital, settled them
2:13:21
in nearly flat
2:13:22
the North before coming here. We went to various places. There's
2:13:25
no safe place in Gaza.
2:13:28
Our houses are gone. Our property is gone. Our money is
2:13:33
gone. Some died some handicapped in the hospital. What is left to
2:13:38
cry for? And then they tell us we will get aid. Where is it? As
2:13:43
the wounded fill Oh, Nasr hospital today that aid 50
2:13:46
trucks will according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society
2:13:50
enter through the Rafah crossing along the Egyptian border. The
2:13:53
first relief since the ceasefire ended Friday. Yesterday, Israel
2:13:57
had blocked me from getting into Gaza.
2:14:00
Adam Curry: It's interesting that Sir Brian of London is in
2:14:04
Israel. He's been giving me his boots on the ground. Yes. On
2:14:09
Friday, he sends me a text message. He says well ceasefires
2:14:13
over rockets are incoming. But I didn't hear anybody report on
2:14:16
that.
2:14:18
John C Dvorak: I heard one report of rockets. But they
2:14:21
cease before the season was over. Before it was over. They
2:14:24
started launching rockets. Yeah, Israel. Yeah. Now the thing
2:14:28
about these reports and all of them have the same thing. It's
2:14:30
the it's the Palestinian health authorities that has the the
2:14:36
head counter the dead. What is that all about? But they're the
2:14:41
Adam Curry: they're the authority. The
2:14:43
John C Dvorak: Health Authority, they're not the death authority.
2:14:45
They're not the government. Well, the health they find it
2:14:48
peculiar that this one done agency or who knows who they
2:14:52
are. This is got the death counts, but they got probably
2:14:55
Adam Curry: some guy in an apartment in London,
2:14:58
John C Dvorak: you know, to say Same thing, like the Syrian
2:15:02
Adam Curry: guy, forget who that was. Right? That was a girl. No,
2:15:05
no, no, it's the Syrian guy who was the authority. And he was in
2:15:08
London and he's, he's making
2:15:11
John C Dvorak: it up as he goes along. So okay, that's good.
2:15:13
Part two of
2:15:14
Unknown: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the
2:15:16
fighting would not stop until Israel meets its objectives. No,
2:15:20
she's blaming him.
2:15:21
We will continue the war until we achieve all its goals, and
2:15:25
it's impossible to achieve those goals without the ground
2:15:28
operation. The ground operation was necessary to bring the
2:15:32
results until now, and it is necessary to bring the results
2:15:35
moving
2:15:35
forward.
2:15:36
with hopes of a renewed ceasefire dissipating. Vice
2:15:39
President Kamala Harris spoke with reporters in Dubai group
2:15:42
laying out the Biden administration's vision for
2:15:45
peace.
2:15:46
five principles guide our approach for post conflict,
2:15:49
God's Gaza. No forcible displacement, no reoccupation no
2:15:56
siege or blockade, no reduction in territory, and no use of Gaza
2:16:03
as a platform for terrorism. We want to see a unified Gaza and
2:16:08
West Bank under the Palestinian Authority, and Palestinian
2:16:13
voices and aspirations must be at the center of this work.
2:16:18
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow, waffling much Wofully.
2:16:22
John C Dvorak: She has absolutely no emotion
2:16:25
whatsoever. When she discusses anything she just reads like a
2:16:29
Adam Curry: robot. Yeah, sounds like it sounds about right.
2:16:32
She's an idiot. Unlike unlike the emotion and the sportscaster
2:16:37
ish vibe of this CNN report,
2:16:39
Unknown: both Israel and Hamas had indicated they were ready to
2:16:41
restart fighting if the negotiations fell apart and if
2:16:44
the truce expired, and that's exactly what happened right
2:16:46
around seven o'clock this morning. We have seen the
2:16:48
skyline of Gaza. We have heard the strikes the IDF is carrying
2:16:52
out in Gaza. So this war is very much back on as both Hamas had
2:16:57
promised Israel carrying out strikes and southern Gaza
2:17:01
according to authorities there that is where they said they
2:17:03
would focus the second phase of their operation. Meanwhile,
2:17:07
Israel has dropped leaflets in parts of southern Gaza.
2:17:10
Interestingly, those leaflets have a QR code that brings you
2:17:13
to a map with Gaza broken up into very tiny partial teams as
2:17:17
if Israel tried to evacuate these parcels of civilians along
2:17:20
established evacuation routes. In an attempt to avoid civilian
2:17:24
casualties as the fighting resumes at peace worth noting
2:17:27
the Secretary of State Antony Blinken was just here. He said
2:17:30
Israel had to have a concrete plan to protect civilians before
2:17:33
they launch the second phase of their operation. Well, that is
2:17:37
now here. He also said Israel needed a plan for more
2:17:39
humanitarian assistance, and yet aid trucks outside of Gaza that
2:17:43
have already been inspected by Israel. According to an
2:17:45
eyewitness on the ground there have not gotten in since this
2:17:48
morning. So Phil, it is very much a question of whether that
2:17:51
humanitarian aid has now been cut off with the fighting
2:17:54
resumed.
2:17:55
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we know that's not true because to
2:17:57
yesterday's report showed that came through
2:18:00
Adam Curry: Poppy Harlow broke it down for us.
2:18:03
Unknown: This hospital simply cannot take more children with
2:18:07
the wounds of war. There are children everywhere these
2:18:09
children are sleeping there was a farm literally 50 meters from
2:18:13
here. This is a war on children
2:18:16
and war on children's stock warrants from a UNICEF spokesman
2:18:20
as the truce between Israel and Hamas has ended. He was speaking
2:18:24
from one of the last remaining hospitals that is operating in
2:18:27
Gaza the Hamas controlled Palestinian health ministry says
2:18:30
6000 children have been killed in Gaza since the October 7
2:18:34
terror attack that's
2:18:36
Adam Curry: all you need to know to war on children. That's it.
2:18:39
That's when it's a war on children. And with that, I'd
2:18:43
like to thank you for your courage in the morning to you
2:18:44
the man who put the sea and the war on children ladies and
2:18:47
gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end the one and
2:18:49

2:18:55
John C Dvorak: Well, in the morning to you Mr. Curry in the
2:18:57

2:18:59
air subs in the water and all the games and all the nights

Adam Curry: we got 2073 trolls in the troll room
2:19:15
Unknown: 400 low.
2:19:18
Adam Curry: They are eventually just going to have to take this
2:19:20

2:19:25
mean, I would say by Christmas we'll be back to doing the
2:19:29
executive producers in after the first hour because it'd be very
2:19:33

2:21:31
Unknown: They told me I'm sorry. I didn't

Adam Curry: know that you couldn't deconstruct the media
2:21:36
deconstructors or have an opinion or make
2:21:40
John C Dvorak: this guy get rid of and take him off. I'm
2:21:42
Adam Curry: not doing anything of the kind. I'm okay. I'm
2:21:45
watching
2:21:46
John C Dvorak: he thinks he thinks you're a big aihole Chris
2:21:49
he thinks I am now two because I defended you.
2:21:51
Adam Curry: Thank you. I appreciate that. No, I'm just
2:21:54
this is now a social experiment. I'm just watching it devolve
2:21:57
into into mush it says who chaos? Yes, people I used to try
2:22:02
and you know, manage it a little bit tell people you know try and
2:22:05
calm stuff down. I'm not I'm left to their own devices. Even
2:22:09
people who believe they're on the same team of love goes just
2:22:14
there. Everyone is traumatized and we're and everyone's yelling
2:22:18
and
2:22:18
John C Dvorak: one mining of John Conway's The Game of Life.
2:22:23
A very early computer program that came out in the probably
2:22:25
the late 70s. That was this little it started these little
2:22:30
the game. It was a great it was just regular old fashioned
2:22:33
screens before graphics came along. And then these little
2:22:37
communities would crop up and they would show you how they
2:22:39
grew and shrunk and grew and shrunk and they never
2:22:41
stabilized. And they all went extinct. And I'm reminded of
2:22:46
that when I see what's going on there. Well, that's what it's
2:22:49
always going to be it reminds me of the no agenda forums that was
2:22:54
lively and a great just went extinct because it was they went
2:22:58
nuts. Now
2:22:59
Adam Curry: what happened with no agenda forums, as they kept
2:23:01
saying, You need to post over here, you need to participate.
2:23:06
And I was like, I got no time for that. Well, you don't love
2:23:08
us. And I said Well there
2:23:10
John C Dvorak: was that what the real killer for them was they
2:23:12
started their own podcast. The rounds counter program was
2:23:16
Adam Curry: the rounds and it was called the roundtable wasn't
2:23:18
it? I think
2:23:19
John C Dvorak: something like that. Yeah. Yeah. And so they
2:23:21
were just as if this podcast that nobody paid attention to
2:23:24
because just these No,
2:23:26
Adam Curry: that's not the they tried to do a podcast about our
2:23:29
podcast every day or twice a week and it turns out Oh, it's
2:23:33
really hard. Well,
2:23:34
John C Dvorak: actually that that's more than another one yo
2:23:37
agenda was more along those comic strip blogger. Yeah, yeah.
2:23:42
And his buddy had there's two guys and they was yelling rouse
2:23:45
about our show. Yeah, and then when the show that's when the
2:23:49
show first started and then when it got like two hours long and
2:23:53
then it got harder. Yeah, they
2:23:56
Unknown: couldn't they couldn't bailed out.
2:24:00
Adam Curry: We got which we smothered them with love. No, no
2:24:04
What you should do this and I'm a proponent of the troll room. I
2:24:08
think it's good for people to go to troll room.io During the
2:24:13
show, go in there and go I hate you. You suck because it's just
2:24:17
disposed off. And it goes away and then yeah, I've been nothing
2:24:21
really happens. It's just this good. You get it out of your
2:24:23
system. I think it's a really that's that is the place to go.
2:24:27
Then and you also can't post memes that's another good thing
2:24:31
about it. You know, it's just text. So you have to be crafty
2:24:34
with words you know, you have to have some talent talent. Not
2:24:38
really.
2:24:39
John C Dvorak: Anyway use NET.
2:24:43
Adam Curry: Now, what was the what was the email system that
2:24:46
you went to the bulletin boards? Remember, you would write an
2:24:50
email and then it would it would upload and it would would that
2:24:55
was MCI Mail was no no, no, no, no, no, no. It was through the
2:24:58
bulletin boards. It
2:24:59
John C Dvorak: was Isn't CompuServe email oh
2:25:02
Adam Curry: no no before that it wasn't the source no before that
2:25:06
it was It wasn't Fido next was they don't add Yes, that's it.
2:25:10
Nailed it fight on it. Yes. And you'd have to wait a day and
2:25:14
have to wait wait for the phone lines to open up with a guy
2:25:18
would have a bulletin board with five phone lines. You have a
2:25:21
demon Island to have a
2:25:22
John C Dvorak: bulletin board back in the day you had to have
2:25:25
Multics number of phone lines coming in. So you'd have to be
2:25:28
with hand 20 phone lines. This is a good thing for the phone
2:25:31
companies
2:25:32
Adam Curry: what was all local calls? You had to find a
2:25:35
bulletin board with a local local numbers so you could be
2:25:38
because you know long distance no one could afford it.
2:25:41
Especially not at 300 baud or whatever we had. It was
2:25:44
John C Dvorak: 300 baud. Remember those quickly went to
2:25:47
1200. So there you go. And then
2:25:49
Adam Curry: we got the Hayes compression protocol.
2:25:53
John C Dvorak: Yeah, maybe and his Hayes. Remember that?
2:25:56
Adam Curry: Good time. Yeah,
2:25:57
John C Dvorak: I do. Remember all that stuff. Now I had all
2:25:59
that gear. Now
2:26:00
Adam Curry: I have five gigabits per second fiber in my lifetime,
2:26:06
okay, meaning just because you have two networks that don't
2:26:09
even get one in total. Apply. I have two networks that both get
2:26:13
or not get you're getting one to the local head end to the ping
2:26:16
you're not getting any any was that's true with everything
2:26:19
right? So once you don't give me this getting food, it's not that
2:26:24
it's not about the speed. It's about the amount of things I can
2:26:28
have simultaneously. I can have my tours and I can have my
2:26:32
Umbral at my start nine and we can bring Yes, yeah, I see. Why
2:26:40
is that funny to
2:26:41
John C Dvorak: you? is funny.
2:26:44
Adam Curry: All right. We are a value for value show. We
2:26:48
pioneered the concept. You know, even you know even the noster
2:26:52
guys are now calling themselves value for value. Yeah,
2:26:56
eventually will be forgotten. Well, I think it's already
2:26:59
happened. I have a feeling well wait way past that point. Yeah,
2:27:05
man, Jack Dorsey invented value for value. That's how that went
2:27:09
bad. I started that company a long time. Thanks, Jack at Jack.
2:27:14
Yeah, so we decided long ago that the only way to be able to
2:27:19
speak freely is to not have advertising or any corporate
2:27:22
interests or any anything that that is other than than just us
2:27:27
and the audience which we never called listeners. We decided to
2:27:30
call you producers because that's what you do. You send us
2:27:33
clips you send us articles boots on the ground your insights,
2:27:36
your knowledge. Sometimes even your
2:27:39
John C Dvorak: by that we had talking about that. We had like
2:27:42
I didn't I may or may not read these today probably in the show
2:27:45
it coming up. We have at least three people that I got email
2:27:49
from who work in the facilities at these various water
2:27:54
facilities. Yes, I know all the insight about designers is bold
2:27:58
crap. And they using you know passwords, the default password,
2:28:02
the full passwords, and anyone can hack in and there's no
2:28:05
reason is on the net. We have people that do. That's why when
2:28:09
you ask for somebody who knew about this insurance scam, it'll
2:28:13
show it will get it it'll show up because we it's astonishing.
2:28:16
I have to say at some point is astonishing. The people that we
2:28:21
have that work in every single industry, I was talking to
2:28:23
somebody about the show recently and they asked me well what are
2:28:26
we talking about? What's your demo? He asked me
2:28:29
Adam Curry: what's our demo? Did you Did Why did you kick him in
2:28:32
the shins and poke him right in the balls?
2:28:36
John C Dvorak: So I said the great thing about our show is we
2:28:40
have no demo yes little kids stole men old women and
2:28:45
everything in between an engineers and and everything
2:28:50
pilots I mean his preachers everybody is astonishing the
2:28:55
demo
2:28:56
Adam Curry: Yeah. Every race creed religion background
2:29:00
everything that yes, we have we have a world demo telling
2:29:06
John C Dvorak: our world that's probably easier on him than
2:29:09
kicking him in the balls
2:29:10
Adam Curry: well it's too late now than me the guy never talked
2:29:13
to you ago and pissed off about it. So the way that works is if
2:29:17
you get any value out of the show and if you don't you got to
2:29:20
question your life because why well you could be hate listening
2:29:24
could be hate listening. Yeah,
2:29:25
John C Dvorak: so are we do have hate listeners. Oh, you know,
2:29:28
but a lot but we do have those shows that I hate to listen to
2:29:32
by listen to regularly. Yeah, you're a hate list or you got a
2:29:35
find shows you ate
2:29:37
Adam Curry: I know there's only one show I hate. Then I listened
2:29:39
to by the way she's on TV now she's on. She's on a Sunday CNN
2:29:45
panel show. I can't wait for the clips. Oh brother is right. Led
2:29:50
by that x Fox guy. What's it what's his face
2:29:54
John C Dvorak: with X for lunch? Sanchez?
2:29:57
Adam Curry: No, no, the guy who left Fox the fake If you're
2:30:00
famous dad what's his name?
2:30:02
John C Dvorak: Tucker Carlson.
2:30:04
Adam Curry: Other famous? No the news guy. We went I'm leaving
2:30:09
this fox you Republicans? I'm a liberal. Oh Shepard Smith. No,
2:30:13
no, no, no, no, no.
2:30:16
John C Dvorak: burn as many names as I can. Chris Wallace.
2:30:19
Oh, Chris Wallace. That guy. Yeah.
2:30:22
Adam Curry: He moderated and carried his way is just
2:30:26
John C Dvorak: a well, it's dud meets Duck.
2:30:29
Adam Curry: Duck meets dud. Oh, gotta write that one down. Dud
2:30:33
meets duck anyway back to value for value. So here's an example
2:30:39
of though it's a sad example because Sir Paul couture created
2:30:42
the no agenda art generator for us no agenda, art generator.com.
2:30:46
And he's maintained that thing for well over a decade, we had
2:30:49
one before that, but it's it really that is true value
2:30:52
because he
2:30:53
John C Dvorak: changed the structure of it led midway
2:30:55
through me way. And you know, there's overspend just smooth as
2:30:59
silk, over 24 25,000,
2:31:02
Adam Curry: always smoother. So 24 25,000 pieces of artwork,
2:31:06
this is where the artists compete. This thing went, went
2:31:11
belly up, hardware failure, and he has just been pulling his
2:31:15
hair out trying to get it back online. So he has a temporary
2:31:18
page up, we got all kinds of solutions. But the point is, we
2:31:22
never would have started that we never, we would never been able
2:31:25
to afford to pay someone to do that. You know, we would look at
2:31:29
the monthly bill and go and I can hear you go and why are you
2:31:33
paying for this. And it goes for all kinds of things. We have
2:31:37
never had to do any of that. All we have to do is deconstruct
2:31:40
media and assemble a show twice a week and we're so grateful
2:31:45
everyone that's value for value. Yeah,
2:31:48
John C Dvorak: volunteerism is a big part of it. That's not
2:31:51
something you can just do if you're a commercial entity, no
2:31:53
selling ads, try invites. I mean, our show invites
2:31:58
volunteerism we get we get reports that are voluntarily
2:32:02
submitted, we get the artists voluntarily done your we have
2:32:05
somebody doing the Art Generator did it voluntarily. And so
2:32:09
that's what it's a big deal when you can get a system together
2:32:13
that has a lot of volunteerism, because you end up getting a
2:32:18
astonishing product until it craps out. But obviously,
2:32:24
Adam Curry: it has its ups and downs. This
2:32:26
John C Dvorak: downside? Yeah, there's a downside. It's kind of
2:32:28
it's kind of quaint. No, it's
2:32:30
Adam Curry: like I like it because we can't yell at
2:32:32
anybody. You know, if
2:32:34
John C Dvorak: you can't do what you're gonna do. Working for
2:32:37
free. Yeah. Break
2:32:38
Adam Curry: if we dislike if we've been paying for this, we
2:32:41
will like get that thing back up. I can't believe it knows
2:32:43
now. Like, I'm not spun up over it. I'm not mad or fired. I'm
2:32:47
not. I'm not mad, like, Oh, I feel bad. I feel bad for Paul.
2:32:51
But he's trying to fix that. And it's a pain.
2:32:54
John C Dvorak: I'm sure. It's, it's a miserable situation,
2:32:58
taking him this long, no
2:32:59
Adam Curry: doubt. So with that, that's the time and talent
2:33:02
portion. We also have the treasure the three T's of value
2:33:05
for value, time, talent, treasure, and we love to thank
2:33:09
our executive and Associate Executive Producers right at the
2:33:12
top of our list. We always read out the amounts we give the
2:33:15
notes that people have sent him. And we are very inept.
2:33:19
John C Dvorak: We we call we got to thank the artists for the
2:33:21
last artwork.
2:33:21
Adam Curry: Well, I don't know who it was because I remember
2:33:24
you sent it to me. He said, I don't know who did it.
2:33:28
John C Dvorak: But the artists who did it, just send us a
2:33:30
notice. Hey, so we couldn't be some credit here. So I
2:33:33
Adam Curry: can put your name into the credits, which are just
2:33:36
empty because I didn't know who had done that because it was
2:33:38
something you just collected. I
2:33:41
John C Dvorak: collected what I Yeah, normally before I do a
2:33:44
newsletter, I go onto the Art Generator and I find two or
2:33:47
three pieces of art that I might want to use for the newsletter
2:33:50
and then I'll place it into the newsletter and see if it works.
2:33:53
And that piece was rejected. And or I'd used it I'm not I don't
2:33:59
remember. But whatever the case is that so I always have a bunch
2:34:02
of pieces sitting in my files that I
2:34:06
Adam Curry: just looked at your email. You mean you email
2:34:09
yourself?
2:34:09
John C Dvorak: No, it's no I don't know. I do it directly. I
2:34:12
do just save save images.
2:34:14
Adam Curry: Oh, right. Right click Save image as nice. Yeah,
2:34:16
I
2:34:17
John C Dvorak: don't do any emails like stuff
2:34:18
Adam Curry: slick. All right. So yes, we'd like to thank our
2:34:24
Executive Associate Executive producers and we start off with
2:34:27
a guy who has always been there for us, usually about once a
2:34:31
month sir animus of Dogpatch and Lois LeBeau via and T sends now
2:34:36
this is not an atypical number for him because he likes to
2:34:39
dollar bills. He sent us a row of ducks 2222 which I'm going to
2:34:46
presume was in cash and included $2 bills at least one one cue
2:34:50
dollar bill. Yes. And he says thank you to any always has a
2:34:55
typewritten note we have very little idea about about this
2:34:59
pretty Mr. Schreiner must have Dogpatch in Los Lobos,
2:35:02
John C Dvorak: other than Bikkies anonymous, he keeps
2:35:04
himself Anonymous is
2:35:05
Adam Curry: anonymous and he is a patron saint for us. Thank you
2:35:09
to all the producers, and congratulations to the many that
2:35:12
now use the pronoun doctor. That's a pronoun we stand
2:35:17
behind. And thank you to John and Adam, for being effective
2:35:20
altruists, working on holidays, finding the best use of your
2:35:23
remaining lives is to deconstruct news and entertain.
2:35:27
Wait a minute, is he predicting our doom here? Working on
2:35:32
holidays and finding the best use of your remaining lives.
2:35:35
That's you and I, John, is to deconstruct news and entertain
2:35:38
the dedicated producers. It is good to see Americans fight the
2:35:42
effort to impose theological beliefs into law by so called
2:35:46
conservatives, having a little experience with countries
2:35:49
committed to conservative theological law of laws of my
2:35:52
faith, implementing some of these laws can cause even those
2:35:56
with strong morals to question their interpretation. No, that's
2:35:59
deep. It's deeper than normal. I think for Serrano, he's
2:36:03
John C Dvorak: must have been given a parking ticket or
2:36:05
something I'm guessing in Saudi Arabia, which comes with a
2:36:10
beating.
2:36:12
Adam Curry: John has often referenced shanty towns as an
2:36:15
alternative to 10 cities. And I would say you've promoted the
2:36:19
idea. Yes, I have the political term at the time was Hoover
2:36:23
villes. Yes, under President so
2:36:25
John C Dvorak: that was in the 30s. But there's been a we've
2:36:28
hit, but worldwide is what I'm talking. I'm talking about the
2:36:31
shanty towns that are that are everywhere, but the United
2:36:34
States, not the hood hills. Well, and he
2:36:37
Adam Curry: continues, but go on Kara, with elections in the
2:36:40
offing. Perhaps they can be named Biden towns or Trump towns
2:36:45
could work well, but the incumbent usually gets naming
2:36:48
rights. No jingles, no karma. But thank you so much on Mr.
2:36:52
Dogpatch. And Lois LeBeau. Via you always have the best mute
2:36:55
cut right through it. Even if it if it's cutting through us. We'd
2:36:59
love you for it. Thank you.
2:37:01
John C Dvorak: Yeah, who reveals we're because they had this
2:37:04
homeless situation back in the 30s. And it was like, resulted
2:37:08
in these little is nothing like today, as far as I can tell it,
2:37:12
looked into it to what we have going on today in certain
2:37:15
cities, New York would be one of them. Chicago, San Francisco of
2:37:20
old, they're not there. I know what happened to them. And
2:37:23
Berkeley had a big town of homeless under what happened to
2:37:27
them.
2:37:29
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, same
2:37:32

2:57:58
Adam Curry: a we have a couple of make goods and things that
2:58:02
need correcting. Three in total. Sir Gary, who came in under 50
2:58:07
and did want us to read his note. Sir Gary of Kasko point on
2:58:11
Lake Minnetonka here fantastic show. This week I'm writing and
2:58:14
attaching a spreadsheet showing these exceeded the level needed
2:58:17
as of December to become a Baronet. If I may put in a
2:58:20
shameless plug for a noble organization. I am State
2:58:23
Director for bugles across America, at bugles across
2:58:26
america.org. Our sole purpose is providing live taps free of
2:58:31
charge for any US veteran funeral honor services. Oh,
2:58:35
beautiful.
2:58:35
John C Dvorak: By the way, this I got this note. And I said,
2:58:39
Wow, this is a very famous organization. And they did some
2:58:43
local stories about him. Yes, that's exactly what they do.
2:58:46
They bring out the bugler and they can give taps to the some
2:58:50
of these funeral systems. And this guy is the head of it, I
2:58:53
guess. Wow. And I'm a stunt. This is an example of the kind
2:58:57
of astonishing producers we have. I mean, this is like as I
2:59:01
was taken aback.
2:59:04
Adam Curry: Well, I wouldn't mind a little no agenda bugle
2:59:07
recording, honestly, something we could play on the show,
2:59:12
John C Dvorak: especially after a short donation segment. I
2:59:14
think taps would be appropriate. I
2:59:15
Adam Curry: don't want taps I just want some do like I want to
2:59:18
charge thing or whatever. Anyway, our sole purpose is and
2:59:21
you're right. This is a very famous organization providing
2:59:24
live taps free of charge for any US veterans funeral honor
2:59:27
services. The military authorize the use of a recording of tabs
2:59:30
for these events in the year 2000. Since then, our founder
2:59:33
Tom day and some 4000 volunteers he has assembled take care of
2:59:37
this last tribute to our veterans Oh, I sees the military
2:59:40
but we'll just do it we'll just use a recording and they said
2:59:44
John C Dvorak: no, they gave one here on my phone. Yeah. God
2:59:47
Adam Curry: bless you guys. We're doing that. If you could
2:59:49
just give the website ask people to remember when their veteran
2:59:52
passes on that there's good chance that they will have a
2:59:54
recorded taps performance rather than having a heartbeat behind
2:59:58
those sacred 26 Notes. Just go to the website put in the date
3:00:01
and details and someone will contact you and be there for
3:00:04
your veteran. That's not too big of an ask. We we love that you
3:00:08
do that. Sir another website. Well, I'd mentioned it three
3:00:12
times bugles across america.com bugle a.org. Bugles across
3:00:17
america.org bugles across america.org? That's bugles
3:00:21
across america.org Sir Not sure it says Dear John Adams, donated
3:00:27
for show 1611 I want to express the value I receive is
3:00:30
priceless. When every news source tries to cover up the
3:00:34
truth you guys kept me sane to the so called pandemic at a time
3:00:37
when fear was shoved down our throats. I would like to claim
3:00:41
this he did the 333333 donation. I would like yeah, then he had
3:00:46
no no big one. Note, I would like to claim the title Baron
3:00:51
keeper of the tri lakes If approved by the peerage
3:00:53
committee. I'd also like to call out Alex, Russia as a douchebag
3:01:00
thanks for bringing me to your show, though. Love is lit. Thank
3:01:02
you guys for Mark brushroll. And finally, sir Julian says I was
3:01:07
originally United back in episode 1184 titled objects it
3:01:11
with a night name that I found to be funny at the time, but
3:01:14
it's not family friendly. My last donation on November 20,
3:01:18
put me well over the necessary level in donations, which I do
3:01:22
believe makes me a baron. For my title change. I would like to be
3:01:26
known as Sir Julian Baron of the Santa Cruz Mountains of this
3:01:29
territory is available, John available. Yeah, it's good. But
3:01:32
John C Dvorak: what was his old name that he didn't like? Oh,
3:01:34
it's
3:01:34
Adam Curry: apparently not good. But the note gets more
3:01:38
interesting. This is truly the best podcast in the universe.
3:01:41
And I don't know where I'd be without it. I'm grateful that
3:01:43
you to do what you do. You guys always say that. Couples that
3:01:47
listen together, stay together. Well, that idea is being tested
3:01:51
right now. Because of me, I would really appreciate all the
3:01:55
relationship karma I can get right now. And he doesn't know
3:02:01
like, wow, this
3:02:02
John C Dvorak: is a bad thing.
3:02:03
Adam Curry: He has a note to the love of my life. Babe. I love
3:02:08
you from the bottom of my heart. And I don't know what to do
3:02:11
without you. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
3:02:17

3:11:29
John C Dvorak: done this. But okay. It's true. Good news. This

is the good news clip for today. It's about the dog named mage.
3:11:40
Unknown: Firefighters leaped into action saving 100 pound
3:11:43
Great Dane trapped in a deep hole. This happened off an old
3:11:47
south a road and Lake Wheeler road. Tonight we talked to Majus
3:11:51
owner about the rescue mission. This is mage in happier times.
3:11:59
And this was mage on Saturday afternoon. The 100 pound great
3:12:03
game fell into an old well 50 feet.
3:12:06
Oh no call 911 right away. And you know they come out but they
3:12:11
they don't have the they have to call the right department that
3:12:13
has the right equipment. You know, they had to bring that
3:12:16
tripod situation with all the climbing harnesses and
3:12:19
everything to get down there.
3:12:21
Crews from carry fire fear view rural fire and Swift Creek Fire
3:12:25
Departments responded. They used a rope rescue technique. It took
3:12:30
hours and plenty of patience for crews were able to lift the mage
3:12:34
out.
3:12:35
I don't know. But unscathed. I just can't even believe it. It's
3:12:39
quite a drop and it is covered up now, by the way completely
3:12:42
covered up. So yeah. You know, part of me kind of wanders.
3:12:47
Yeah, part of me kind of wonders, you know, did she fall
3:12:51
to save someone else?
3:12:52
So how did mage get down in that old Well, we found out mage is
3:12:56
owners now Dean's recently purchased a property and the
3:13:00
wells it's quite a distance from the family home. They didn't
3:13:04
think it would be a problem. But now they know differently. Mudge
3:13:08
is now home safely. And her family couldn't be more thankful
3:13:12
for first responder.
3:13:13
They did all of this for my dog. I mean, and she is part of our
3:13:16
family truly. So God bless them. I mean, they were very, very
3:13:20
organized. When they showed up. They had a plan. They knew
3:13:23
exactly what to do. Oh, I
3:13:25
was so happy for months now that well was covered before with
3:13:28
barbed wire. The family has now covered it with some rebar. So
3:13:32
it doesn't happen to anyone else.
3:13:36
Good news story from JCD happy vibes for you and me and we all
3:13:44
feel better. Now he's done his bit. To back to reality. That's
3:13:49
turning to shit.

Adam Curry: Good news. Good news. Good news. Well done,
3:13:55
John. There's nothing like a good good news story that's
3:13:58
about a dog. Dog. It's always good. It's always good. There's
3:14:02

Adam Curry: And with that, we bid you adieu We look forward to
3:15:00

3:15:23
Unknown: This was straight
3:15:25
out of Putin's playbook. playbook, this playbook was
3:15:31
playbooks, playbooks, playbooks playbook. We
3:15:35
know this is definitely part of the Russian playbook. Russian
3:15:41
playbook playbook played in the Russian, the Russian philosophy,
3:15:45
the Russian playbook will not change. So I think that is the
3:15:47
Russian playbook. It is part
3:15:49
of the Russian playbook. The tactics look familiar like a
3:15:53
page from Russia's playbook because of what he called Rush's
3:15:56
playbook on murdering people. Clearly
3:15:58
Russia benefits the most from this and it does fit the Russian
3:16:02
playbook.
3:16:11
playbook and
3:16:13
Russia Russia's playbook. But what Putin is doing in Ukraine
3:16:18
is actually straight out of the Russian military planners
3:16:20
playbook.
3:16:23
Putin's playbook. playbook, a playbook to win. The Republican
3:16:29
Party adopts Russia's authoritarian playbook. So
3:16:33
Ukraine is a country Russia is a major country, Russia in the
3:16:38
past century, Russia decided to invade militarily unprovoked,
3:16:43
basically, that's wrong. We respect the sovereignty and
3:16:47
territorial integrity. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
3:16:56
Right. Right, right. Right. Right. are saying that's wrong.
3:17:07
And we will stand with Ukraine in saying that that is wrong. We
3:17:11
know that what Russia is doing is wrong. There needs to be
3:17:15
severe consequences. You'll hear on the news, their bad behavior.
3:17:20
You'll hear on the news, their bad behavior. That's what the
3:17:24
issue is engineer bad behavior. You'll hear on the news, their
3:17:29
bad behavior. That's what the issue is essentially. Right.
3:17:34
Right, right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
3:17:54
Where if you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee
3:18:02
that it will have enormous positive reverberations under
3:18:08
Judas. You lie in DC
3:18:17
if you take away the Soviet Union, and its chief proxy, the
3:18:20
PLO, international terrorism would collapse.
3:18:37
Any other nations that you would recommend that the United States
3:18:40
launch pre emptive attacks upon at this point?
3:18:44
The answer is categorically Yes. Is Iraq and Iran but third
3:18:48
nation by the way is Libya as well Libya is trying very
3:18:52
rapidly to build an atomic bomb capability all stand together to
3:18:57
stop Iran's March of conquest, subjugation and terror no matter
3:19:03
on which side of the island set you stand with Israel.
