Adam Curry: Yes. Well, Forbes could have taken a page out of
2:59
that playbook. They named the most powerful woman. Did you
3:05
see? Yeah, Queen Ursula. most powerful woman in the world. The
3:11
John C Dvorak: word Equiline is she's

3:29
Adam Curry: What goodness. Yeah, happy Hanukkah, everybody. And
3:37
this is also Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. flags at half
3:41
staff. I don't know if people remember it anymore.
3:43
John C Dvorak: Nobody remembers today to remember though, but
3:46
nobody remembers it is
3:48
Adam Curry: if you're ever in Fredericksburg, Texas. Go see
3:50
our beautiful museum. The Pacific War Museum, which will
3:57
help you there was a lot going on that we don't know that we
4:00
have long forgotten. We were buddies with the Chinese back in
4:03
the day. Who knew? Oh, yeah, the Flying Tigers. Yeah, we were
4:07
friends with the Chinese and we were we were beaten off the Japs
4:12
as it were. And we're right back to to Queen Ursula. There you
4:17
go. So I went to nd
4:22
John C Dvorak: went through the bill. Yes, yes. You might as
4:24
well give us a quick report. Well,
4:26
Adam Curry: someone gave me RSV or something. Thanks.
4:29
John C Dvorak: Oh, you got sick.
4:30
Adam Curry: Oh my god. I've been coughing all night. Oh, yeah,
4:35
it's really infected. I'm telling it's RSV. Someone gave
4:39
John C Dvorak: me RSV. Why would it be anything else can't be it.
4:44
Could be tuberculosis? No, no, no. RSV,
4:47
Adam Curry: this no all this that's all it can be. Anyway,
4:50
John C Dvorak: they're spraying it around I'm sure of it.
4:52
Adam Curry: We had about 100 crop dusters. 130 people was
4:55
fantastic. What a great event but that's nice. We we flew out
4:59
from Austin have
5:01
John C Dvorak: everything that you drove the whole way,
5:03
according to Tina, while
5:05
Adam Curry: driving to Austin is already an hour and 45. So it's
5:08
quite a ways. Now you haven't flown in a while I hadn't flown
5:13
in, in a bit, or at least not since the new TSA machines
5:20
John C Dvorak: among the new machines now. Yes, yes. This is
5:23
the X ray.
5:24
Adam Curry: Well, that's not for you. It's for your bag. So you
5:27
no longer do you have to take your laptop out of your bag.
5:30
Your electronics
5:31
John C Dvorak: giant bullet looking? Yes, the Aino they had
5:35
an A they had a prototype of one of those in Oakland. Yeah, well,
5:39
now they're everywhere. Good looking machine. Yeah,
5:41
Adam Curry: they got the blue and the red Halo lights on it.
5:44
For all I know, it's just a tube with nothing in it. I mean, it
5:47
looks like
5:47
John C Dvorak: nothing going on at all. But there's actually a
5:50
small midget in there opening your bags,
5:53
Adam Curry: but the name of it is just it's laugh inducing. A
5:57
no logic. I mean, come on, guys. I mean, I'm sure it's Anna
6:02
logic, but you can't I mean, as a 15 year old that I am you
6:06
can't not look at and go ain't a logic. Anyway, it does does
6:12
speed up the process. They don't look at your boarding pass
6:14
anymore. I think we've kind of been through this. You just show
6:17
your driver's license. Oh, you're good to go. Come on
6:19
through. They got everything ready. They know they know what
6:21
you're doing. They know where you going. So this is organized.
6:26
So we flew in and were picked up by Dame Christina Pearl and her
6:31
husband Charles, they drove us straight to the venue from the
6:35
airport was perfect. We got a 130 people, Mark and Maria, who
6:40
organized this. They are this is John, you have no idea how well
6:45
organized this is. This whole place was ours. They had a
6:49
stage. The stage if you had a stage, the stage was dressed.
6:54
You know they had Christmas poinsettias everywhere. They
6:58
have a band that if we wanted it that could have been a band
7:01
great sound system had a mic you know they do they do a raffle.
7:05
So the way they do it is everybody pitches in into the
7:08
pot. And I think we have a couple of
7:10
John C Dvorak: this is that Indiana has been going on for a
7:13
while. Yeah. Well, one of our other Indiana producers couldn't
7:17
get anyone to come to his thing. Yes.
7:19
Adam Curry: And but that's probably because everybody was
7:22
into this thing. This is the place so they do this raffle.
7:27
And everybody pitches in whatever they want. I think
7:30
there's three Switcheroos maybe four executive producers today
7:33
from so the money that's put into the raffle pot goes to a
7:39
donation and people get an executive producer from for on
7:42
the show. But then they but you also get a prize. And they had
7:46
like a no agenda license plate. The first thing to go to many
7:50
eggs book.
7:51
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the
7:53
Adam Curry: book autographed autographed by Mimi,
7:55
John C Dvorak: there was an autographed version there. Yes,
7:57
Adam Curry: there. Yes. Yeah, I mean, this this thing is tight,
7:59
man. It's organized. There were people who drove in from Ohio
8:05
and from Michigan. That's that's not super far, you know, hour
8:08
and a half or so. But it still was nice to have them there.
8:11
There's a Rolls Royce aircraft engine plants very nearby. And I
8:17
met at least two engineers
8:19
John C Dvorak: that died the Rolls Royce was an English
8:21
company. Now
8:22
Adam Curry: this is they they purchased this they purchased
8:25
some some aircraft engine manufacturer and it's in
8:30
Indianapolis. Indianapolis is very famous as Indy center which
8:34
is the big ATC did
8:37
John C Dvorak: you go up on that delta tall thing in the middle
8:39
of town?
8:39
Adam Curry: They do you mean the tower? Yeah, no. But we had
8:44
several air traffic controllers, at least three.
8:48
John C Dvorak: And I want to hear the stories.
8:51
Adam Curry: Well, I I was given some interesting documentation
8:55
of UFOs which I'm still parsing through because these are
8:58
reported to the to the air traffic controllers at
9:02
Indianapolis. So there's some some videos that I'm checking
9:06
out these guys are crazy. But also I got a full rundown you
9:12
know about this, this so called shortage of the of the air
9:17
traffic controllers. This bowl I mean yeah, of course there's you
9:22
know, there's a shortage but it's really it's it's mainly the
9:25
the union that wants to keep the shortage because everyone's
9:28
getting overtime and making bank. So that's the way to go.
9:33
Yeah, now of course everyone is getting divorced because they're
9:35
working so much they can barely keep their families got all this
9:39
all this money. Exactly. Let me see what else that I have on my
9:45
list that we had the seminary crew was there a lot of kids, a
9:48
lot of kids very diverse crowd in age and background and it was
9:53
just it was it was quite quite phenomenal. Ryan diazo gave us
9:59
two Silver COVID shield coins ounce of silver each, so I'll be
10:04
sending yours off to you. I'm gonna see was there anything
10:09
else that that I had a lot of amazing how many people said,
10:16
You guys changed my life? Or you guys save my life? Which, which
10:22
is weird, you know, I was like, Well, you know why? Well during
10:25
COVID But talk him well, I guess our talk him during COVID gave
10:29
people at least the courage to know that they weren't the only
10:32
crazy ones. I
10:33
John C Dvorak: think that's it. Yeah, we didn't save anybody's
10:35
life we informed them that there's a subset of people out
10:39
there that have common sense. Yes. And they're probably
10:42
they're part of it,
10:43
Adam Curry: and they're part of it. And the final thing I would
10:46
say if you ever go into Indianapolis do as we did, I
10:49
like staying at airport hotels. I'm a big fan of that, that we
10:53
stayed at the Embassy Suites. This place is dynamite. Yeah,
10:58
it's brand new. If you would put this place in an airport and
11:03
Miss Yeah. Airport Embassy Suites. Yeah, with a shuttle
11:06
with the shuttle shuttle to the airport. This, if you had put
11:10
this in downtown Indy, you probably would have paid $700 A
11:14
night and we wound up paying under 200. There was an end just
11:18
beautiful, free made to order breakfast the next morning. It
11:24
makes no sense to stay in a hotel anywhere else. But at the
11:26
airport. It's just the way to go. And then you know, you roll
11:31
out of bed and it's like I don't have to worry about can I get a
11:34
cab or an Uber or traffic or any of this now it's going to be
11:38
great. So anyway, it was thanks you thank you again, Mark and
11:42
Maria for for taking good care of us. It was a lot of fun. It
11:46
was good to do one of those meetups again, and thanks for
11:49
the RSV. Appreciate it. It's great.
11:52
John C Dvorak: But you do sound a little congested.
11:54
Adam Curry: Oh, it's I was coughing all night. I won't
11:59
complain. I won't complain because that's the least of our
12:02
worries, because we've got red blinking lights.
12:05
Unknown: Today the FBI director was asked point blank if the
12:08
terror threat in the US is as bad as it was before 911. deeply
12:14
disturbing. All the
12:15
lights were blinking red before 911 Apparently, obviously all of
12:20
us missed it. Would you say that there's multiple blinking red
12:24
lights out there multiple.
12:25
I see blinking lights everywhere I turn Oh, no, it's the Israel
12:28
Hamas war started. Get your eyes checked right says the terror
12:32
threat is at a whole nother level with a number of terror
12:36
groups including ISIS and al Qaeda, using social media to
12:39
call for attacks, including right here in the US. The DOJ
12:43
also seeing a spike in threats against the Muslim community yet
12:47
stunning increase in threats aimed at Jewish Americans
12:50
starting October 7, what's never
12:52
Adam Curry: seen a time where all the threats, or so many of
12:56
the threats are all elevated all at exactly the same time. Though
13:00
there must be a reason for this. What could the reason be
13:02
Unknown: gray is calling on Congress to renew a law that
13:05
allows the FBI to conduct surveillance on suspected
13:08
terrorists overseas. That last interview here, Ray says given
13:12
the threats now is not the time to let that happen. You
13:16
Adam Curry: shouldn't even be thinking about it. Now is not
13:18
the time. It's the worst more red blinking lights than ever.
13:22
And I loved how Abc New York discuss this topic.
13:25
Unknown: And now this sobering warning from the FBI director
13:28
who says this agencies the morning show, the morning show
13:31
on ABC is working around the clock to prevent potential
13:34
domestic attacks by Hamas or its sympathizers joined now by ABC
13:38
reporter Erica Turski. Erin, thanks for being here. All of
13:41
this came out during the Senate hearing yesterday, Director Ray
13:44
really highlighting the concern to lawmakers. Let's play a
13:47
portion of that, and then we'll get our
13:49
John C Dvorak: portion. What I would say that is
13:51
Adam Curry: unique about the environment that we're in right
13:54
now in my career is that well, there may have been times over
13:56
the years where individual threats could have been higher
14:00
here or there than where they might be right now. I've never
14:03
seen a time where all the threats are so many of the
14:07
threats are all elevated, all elevated exactly the same time.
14:11
That's what makes this environment that we're in now.
14:13
So fraud, they need to bring back the color codes, man, we
14:17
need to show it on the screen just
14:19
John C Dvorak: Nashi we're gonna do this every Republican thing
14:22
Adam Curry: by funding our men and women who are working
14:25
shoulder to shoulder with state local law enforcement and other
14:28
partners every day. makes it even more important, not less.
14:32
Unknown: So blinking red lights analogy about 911 All the lights
14:37
were blinking red before 911. Apparently, this is obviously
14:41
all of us missed it. Would you say that there's multiple
14:44
blinking red lights out there
14:47
eating everywhere in turn. So certainly chilling comments,
14:51
especially here in New York, Aaron and some of the threats
14:54
that he talked about the elevator chatter online from al
14:57
Qaeda and ISIS. Did you learn from
14:59
this Oh, It is chilling because it's coming at a time when the
15:02
Israel Hamas war has elevated the threat level for Muslim
15:06
Americans, there's been a skyrocketing number of anti
15:09
semitic threats against the Jewish community. And that's
15:12
been a consistent theme since October 7.
15:15
Adam Curry: Now Now listen to the news models jump in and make
15:19
sure that you understand that it would be crazy not to reinstate
15:23
the ability for the FBI to spy on everybody. That would just be
15:27
nuts.
15:28
Unknown: And in his comments came as they're looking whether
15:30
or not to authorize this this section 702 of the FISA right,
15:34
this is an Intelligence Surveillance Act. This has been
15:37
highly debated before. What does that mean, and what do we expect
15:40
to happen?
15:40
One of the reasons why the FBI director is so concerned about
15:43
the threat level is because this is about to expire. It's a tool
15:47
that the FBI can use effectively against Trump. Yeah, on foreign
15:52
terror groups, and Trump Trump's concern of overreach and it
15:57
isn't necessarily a popular measure when it comes to debate
16:00
on Capitol Hill. But the FBI director is imploring Congress
16:04
to reauthorize coming up, yeah, Trump otherwise he says some of
16:10
the chatter that Shane or noticed or potentially preempt a
16:13
plot that would go unnoticed but Erin, there is a flip side to
16:17
this right. And some people would say this is politically
16:19
motivated. The Trump it seems like both sides of the aisle
16:22
feel that this could infringe on Fourth Amendment rights, right.
16:27
There's always a go of FBI overreach, hear that the tool is
16:31
being used in ways that maybe it shouldn't be used to to spy on
16:36
Americans or to do other surreptitious things. And
16:39
there's a real suspicion these days, especially in Republican
16:43
politics, about a deep state and that complicates the job of the
16:48
FBI and law enforcement. Ray would say that the FBI follows
16:52
the law and is looking to reauthorize a program that is
16:56
used successfully in the past they're
16:58
also this thing. Yeah. Okay. But just get a warrant first, they
17:01
would like a warrant first, and they have to get a judge to sign
17:04
off. This isn't like they can just go willy nilly tapping
17:06
everybody's phone.
17:07
John C Dvorak: They did it before exactly what they do.
17:10
willy nilly.
17:11
Adam Curry: They don't care whether they have 702
17:13
reauthorized or not come on Kim. Yeah, I
17:15
John C Dvorak: agree with that. They just do it anyway.
17:17
Adam Curry: You want to hear the pixie girl the spook her her
17:21
report on CBS Catherine herridge.
17:24
John C Dvorak: What does she have to say? Oh, good
17:25
Unknown: evening, Nora. The shadow is almost always elevated
17:28
during the holidays. Our analysts expect heightened
17:31
rhetoric with heightened
17:32
Adam Curry: rhetoric. Yes, we're hearing it right now. The
17:35
heightened rhetoric. We're
17:36
John C Dvorak: listening to it as we
17:40
Unknown: expect heightened rhetoric with terrorist groups
17:42
and their media outlets
17:43
latching on to the conflict with the Israeli military during
17:48
download southern Gaza and Hanukkah only days away.
17:52
Intelligence Report reviewed by CBS News warns of increased
17:56
threats from foreign terrorist groups and mirrors FBI director
17:59
Christopher Ray's testimony today on Capitol Hill,
18:03
blinking red lights analogy about non
18:07
Adam Curry: blinking rib of every everyone had to have it.
18:10
You know, this is the heightened rhetoric 911
18:13
Unknown: Would you say that there's multiple blinking red
18:15
lights out there?
18:16
Adam Curry: And how weak is this blinking red light nonsense. You
18:21
know, this just I see blinking lights everywhere I turn
18:24
Unknown: in stark language, the intelligence takes ISIS and Al
18:28
Qaeda will likely use the Middle East conflict to increase calls
18:32
for violence in the US.
18:33
John C Dvorak: Just for one second, we have to note that
18:37
they keep mentioning ISIS and Al Qaeda to operations oppose
18:42
they've been shut down or shuttered at least in the Middle
18:44
East. We have the Houthis now and Iran that's supposed to be
18:49
who's doing all the damage not ISIS. Why? Well as ISIS Where's
18:53
ISIS?
18:54
Adam Curry: There's no ISIS. They're just doing this to get
18:56
702 reauthorized. They're full of crap. The full of it, full of
19:02
it. The blinking lights are his own Feds like Can we go now both
19:05
Can we do something both? Can we we got a nut job both can we get
19:08
and can we get into dude don't bother to be called but to stick
19:10
to the path to it.
19:11
Unknown: It's ISIS and Al Qaeda will likely use the Middle East
19:15
conflict or
19:15
John C Dvorak: where you will get carried away with that Viet.
19:17
Thank you. You could have ended it very early. But no, no, no,
19:20
you kept going and going. That was good.
19:22
Adam Curry: I couldn't help myself. Sounds for
19:24
Unknown: violence in the US.
19:26
Adam Curry: What RSV Yes.
19:28
Unknown: Compared to prior years, as new details emerge
19:31
about an alleged plot to attack Vegas
19:33
Adam Curry: we had Oh, we had an alleged plot we
19:35
Unknown: charged the suspect with multiple felonies to
19:37
include terroristic threats. Both
19:39
Adam Curry: we got him we got we got a cool kid here but we got
19:42
we got we got to keep to do this for both. We can flag
19:45
Unknown: we charged the suspect with multiple felonies to
19:47
include terroristic threats. authorities
19:49
arrested a 16 year old suspect who allegedly wrote on social
19:53
media about launching a lone wolf attack in support of ISIS.
19:56
A homemade flag and other articles allegedly recovered.
20:00
Along came the flag off hearts on Capitol Hill, a stark warning
20:04
from the FBI chief.
20:06
Adam Curry: I've never seen a time where all the threats were
20:10
flagged from 15 year old or so many of the threats are all
20:13
elevated elevated, at exactly the same
20:17
Unknown: time with a spike in threats since the war began. The
20:20
intelligence report warns civilian casualties in Gaza,
20:24
whether real perceived or falsified, or the increased
20:27
presence of US military forces in direct support of Israel will
20:30
likely be exploited by terrorist groups terrorist groups, we said
20:34
there's nothing to indicate Hamas has the intent or
20:36
capability to conduct operations inside the US. The bureau has
20:40
not discounted the possibility Nora
20:42
worry about these lone wolves.
20:44
Adam Curry: Oh yeah.
20:44
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah. We
20:46
Adam Curry: got seven year old kid with a with a Twitter and a
20:48
flag. lone wolves. Yes.
20:51
John C Dvorak: Show they had a shooting in Vegas. Yeah, they
20:53
did. UNLV by a guy who is a professor
20:56
Adam Curry: I know who he probably has gone nuts with
21:00
these kids that he has to teach.
21:03
John C Dvorak: And then we had to the other one, too. First of
21:05
all, there was the guy in Virginia who blew himself up in
21:08
his house. Yeah, and he was like a left wing nut ball hated Trump
21:12
to you so we had to get that off the front page. We did that
21:14
pretty easily.
21:15
Adam Curry: Did you see that couch go fly him. No,
21:18
John C Dvorak: I but I saw the explosion. It was unbelievable.
21:20
Adam Curry: If you if you if you freeze frame the explosion
21:23
catches houses fly up fly. I mean, that wasn't that. I think
21:28
he had explosives in the basement or something. Certainly
21:31
went
21:31
John C Dvorak: off and you know, man, a shooting a flare gun out
21:35
the window. That guy was off his rocker
21:37
Adam Curry: and this is Arlington, Virginia, this is
21:39
spooks and of all
21:40
John C Dvorak: places. All planned. Then we saw we have the
21:43
Vegas thing but that's no good because that guy was a
21:45
professor.
21:47
Adam Curry: So let's go there. We
21:48
John C Dvorak: have the Austin shootings.
21:51
Adam Curry: The Austin shootings. Yes.
21:53
John C Dvorak: When I said that's what I said when I was
21:56
just
21:56
Adam Curry: shooting every day in Austin is nothing new. Well,
21:59
this is is
22:00
John C Dvorak: the NBC report on the I have a clip. Oh, okay.
22:03
Okay. It's in clay show.
22:04
Unknown: We have information coming from two different police
22:06
agencies that are involved the bear County Sheriff's Department
22:09
and also the Austin Police. So we have a timeline of what
22:13
happened. According to police. It's all started yesterday
22:15
morning just before 11am When they say the suspect shot and
22:20
Austin Independent School District Police officer and then
22:24
about an hour after that police say they received 911 calls at
22:27
an address in Austin. The officers arrived at that address
22:31
and found a double homicide it just sees male and female. Then
22:34
about five hours after that a cyclist in a different part of
22:38
Austin reported being shot and injured. Now two hours after
22:42
that officers received or a police department received a
22:45
call from a different address to which officers responded. That
22:49
was a burglary in place being reported. The first officer that
22:53
responded at that second address said he found a suspect in the
22:57
backyard and the suspect then opened fire against that police
23:00
officer. The officer returned fire but the suspect was able to
23:04
flee, get in a vehicle and drive off. At that point. Officers
23:08
were able to chase him down. He was in a car accident and then
23:12
they were able to apprehend that suspect. The officer that was
23:14
shot was then taken to a hospital while other officers
23:18
entered that home and found two other people disease so a lot of
23:21
events taking place. Now after this happened, the Austin Police
23:25
Department contacted the bear sheriff's department saying they
23:28
had an address they wanted them to check on that was linked to
23:30
the suspect deputies that went to that address now that was
23:34
south of Austin in the San Antonio area. That's why they
23:36
contacted the bear County Sheriff's Department. And those
23:39
deputies then found two more people to cease to be part of
23:42
that third address. So in total it is six people dead all
23:46
connected to this suspect Kate,
23:48
Adam Curry: that sounds like a gang thing.
23:51
John C Dvorak: Or yeah, it's definitely something like that.
23:54
I know more details that I know have not
23:56
Adam Curry: heard about that. But you know, when when I first
24:00
moved to Austin, you'd hear about one shooting maybe every
24:03
six months. Yeah, by the time we left it was every day.
24:08
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Every local government Yeah, defund the
24:11
Adam Curry: police good god
24:12
John C Dvorak: find the police put in some DA is not going to
24:15
do anything. And
24:19
Adam Curry: you get so lady G Lind Lindy Hop, Lindsey Graham
24:23
are in the news because of that Christopher rea thing with the
24:26
red blinking lights but also, just before that from the same,
24:31
the Senate session with with the FBI director. This short clip
24:38
showed up which everyone went Oh, no. Oh, what do you
24:42
Unknown: think their votes for Israel apart from the package?
24:46
Republicans overwhelmingly support Israel certain most
24:48
Democrats. Republicans are divided on Ukraine. Republicans
24:52
are 100% behind strong border security. If you want aid to
24:56
Ukraine, we need to control our southern border. I will will not
25:00
vote for any aid until we secure on border reform asylum reform.
25:05
Reform parole is possible to do. Democrats don't want to do it
25:09
all Republicans want to do it. I'm not helping you drain into
25:12
we have ourselves.
25:13
Adam Curry: That's literally the only clip everybody had
25:15
everywhere on Twitter and every black the hill. Oh, no, what's
25:19
happened? He's flip flopped. No. No, he has not. This is a scam.
25:25
This is a scam to get $106 billion for the military
25:29
industrial complex. Here's what went down. Here's two clips what
25:35
Lindsey Graham actually said. And it's quite simple to see how
25:38
this is a a unit party scam to get more money to the military
25:43
industrial complex. Thank
25:45
Unknown: you, Mr. Chairman. Welcome, Inspector, Inspector,
25:48
Director,
25:49
Adam Curry: I had to leave that he called Ray the inspector. So
25:53
Unknown: Mr. Chairman, one thing that I will be talking about.
25:57
Among the list of threats is a broken board. Mr. Chairman,
26:01
since President Biden has taken office, we've had 6.6 main
26:06
encounters with illegal aliens at the southern border. that's
26:12
larger than 33 states. And we're on pace. The last seven days,
26:19
we've been averaging about 9500 a day, play that out, weigh that
26:25
out looking at 3.4 million this year, at that rate, that poses
26:31
at 10 million, and that doesn't count the getaways. So we're
26:35
negotiating how to help Ukraine, count me in for helping Ukraine
26:40
a robust path to help our allies in Ukraine. Ukraine makes sense
26:45
to me. Upping the ability of Taiwan to defend itself.
26:50
Adam Curry: Makes sense to me or mining Israel.
26:53
Unknown: All the sense in the world, all good. Border Security
26:56
is the fourth plank of this supplemental. We're wildly
27:01
apart.
27:02
Adam Curry: So they have a negotiation. And they're going
27:05
to dress this up. They say you heard what what he wants Taiwan
27:09
money, good. Ukraine money, good. Pay for all money. Good.
27:14
But we have 610. I don't know how many millions coming into
27:18
the border. So let's shut down a tiny portion
27:21
Unknown: of that the negotiations by Senator Lankford
27:24
and Murphy, I appreciate their efforts. We made great progress,
27:28
I think on asylum. But the Democratic party seems to be
27:32
unwilling to address that
27:34
Adam Curry: notice, we made great progress on asylum. So
27:38
don't talk about asylum. That's all done. That's all good. Let's
27:41
talk about what we're really going to do to show the American
27:44
people we're fixing the border.
27:45
Unknown: The key problem for all parole. This statute is pretty
27:50
clear. The Secretary of DHS has the ability to parole an
27:54
individual is supposed to be an individual based on a case by
27:59
case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons, or
28:03
significant public benefit. My orcas and people at DHS abused
28:10
that provision to give parole to over 240,000 people from poor
28:16
countries alone, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. It is
28:21
not meant to be used in that fashion. Why are we at an
28:26
impasse? The Biden administration refuses to follow
28:31
the law as written, refuses to give up this concept of
28:35
humanitarian parole, because it is their way of managing the
28:39
border.
28:41
Adam Curry: There you go. So what he's really talking about
28:43
is 249,000 people out of 10 million. Don't worry, so he's
28:50
making it look like he's big man. We know that Lindsey Graham
28:53
is bought and paid for by the military industrial complex.
28:58
Look at his state. look at why he always wins. It's so obvious.
29:05
Don't worry, we're gonna fight for this parole thing. Yeah,
29:08
we'll cut it down. We'll cut it down. I'm
29:10
John C Dvorak: Lindsey Graham. 50 To 50 10,250,000 attend any
29:15
literature
29:15
Adam Curry: we already got the asylum thing worked out police
29:18
nothing's going to change this way. Nothing except we're gonna
29:23
get the money for Israel on Taiwan. Crane. Sounds good. 106
29:29
billion. Another 106 billion. I wonder how the how the people in
29:34
Chicago are feeling about that right now. Loving it. Did you
29:38
Did you follow? I had clip after clip and then Chicago
29:42
John C Dvorak: thing is, is great. Yeah, yeah.
29:45
Adam Curry: So so. So they the Member It was the same company
29:49
that had the contracts. The mayor already had the contracts
29:52
went around his city council. So we got a contract with the
29:55
busing company. They'll be they will build tents. So they start
29:59
building tents. So, in this for 2000 people, but that's what
30:02
they said would probably be more in these fenced off Chicago
30:06
areas and then they do a ground sample. Oh, there's cancer in
30:10
there. Keep building, keep keep building. Just keep building
30:16
it's fine. Don't worry about it. Yeah, well, that all came to a
30:19
head
30:19
Unknown: three Chicago aldermen, frustrated with Mayor Brandon
30:22
Johnson's handling of the migrant crisis with several of
30:25
his top officials gone. In this letter, Alderman Anthony Bill
30:29
Anthony and Apollo Tonto and Raymond Lopez asked the mayor to
30:32
demand the immediate resignation of seven senior leaders,
30:36
including the Deputy Mayor for migrant rights, and Johnson's
30:39
Deputy Chief of Staff. Alderman Lopez says the tipping point was
30:43
Brighton Park big point, the very notion that we have a team
30:47
of individuals who saw no problem using a cancerous
30:50
brownfield to house 2000 Venezuelan migrants is
30:54
astonishing to me. It's astounding and it's really
30:57
setting up not only this policy directed by the mayor for
31:00
failure, but also setting up the city for failure and future
31:03
litigation. Yesterday, Governor Pritzker pulled the plug on the
31:06
Johnson administration's plan to build a winterize migrant base
31:10
camp and right in park after traces of toxic chemicals were
31:13
discovered at the site. Lopez and his colleagues say they're
31:16
worried to other temporary housing locations might also be
31:19
contaminated the
31:20
John C Dvorak: whole area of chemicals Yeah, it's
31:23
Adam Curry: all it's I wonder if the people
31:25
John C Dvorak: are these toxic chemicals come from and why are
31:27
they worried that they're in the first place? Well, we
31:31
Adam Curry: don't know but Pino,
31:32
John C Dvorak: they don't discuss any Oh, no
31:34
Unknown: isn't locations. You know, they're
31:36
John C Dvorak: trying to do the right thing. They're putting up
31:37
a shanty town.
31:39
Adam Curry: They had the right idea. Yeah. But it's now they're
31:42
all going to go into Hotel. Well, they Yeah, there'll be
31:44
going to police station now. They're going to go into hotels,
31:47
and other do airport. Yeah, maybe
31:50
Unknown: it'll be contaminated. How many more sites is the mayor
31:53
going to use? Is his team going to use that are contaminated?
31:56
What do we know about 115 Can Halston. What do we know about
31:59
the CVS and little village? Nothing. A spokesperson for
32:03
Mayor Johnson dismissed the letter saying this is not
32:06
serious correspondence. Yet the individuals that attacks are
32:09
doing very serious work in addressing the urgency of a
32:12
humanitarian crisis that has brought nearly 25,000 new
32:16
arrivals to our city. This week administration defended itself
32:20
noting that at the height of the challenge 5000 migrants flooded
32:23
police stations and airports. Today that number is roughly
32:26
600. As for Brighton Park, the state is supposed to foot the
32:30
bill for construction work, but the contractor might have to eat
32:33
the cost now that the site has been found uninhabitable
32:37
meanwhile,
32:37
Adam Curry: it's 14 degrees in Chicago. It's so obvious to see
32:42
this was coming. Close the border for real people. Come on,
32:47
stop using the word
32:48
John C Dvorak: keep shipping everyone to Chicago. Well 10
32:51
million people are
32:52
Adam Curry: going they're choosing to go to Chicago it's
32:54
not just that 10 million. It's not just Texas busing them off
32:58
there's a lot of people that come in where do you want to go
33:00
Chicago? Because they got people there?
33:04
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well the more people are there it's like
33:06
it's like it kind of it builds momentum again, but everyone got
33:10
wanting to go to Chicago because that's where their friends are.
33:12
Yeah,
33:12
Adam Curry: I was talking to the shoeshine guy at the
33:15
Indianapolis Airport. We were having your shoe shine my boots
33:18
Yes. Oh, I love that. I love to wearing your Texas
33:22
John C Dvorak: boots you not wearing sneakers like every
33:24
other person in the world? No,
33:26
Adam Curry: I wear my boots pretty much all the time.
33:30
John C Dvorak: Well, okay, so what did the guy tell you?
33:33
Adam Curry: Well, he he wouldn't he could come in from Liberia.
33:37
And he Liberian shoeshine guy and he he owned beyond two
33:43
shoeshine stands in the airport. His son was working the the
33:47
other terminal. He was in BS on his MA. And he was telling me
33:51
same things, you know, how did you wind up here said while like
33:54
everybody, you know, I had some I had someone who was from
33:58
Liberia. I knew who was here and they said hey, man, I got a good
34:01
gig for you come on over. It was 19 years ago, but still he says
34:05
you know that's how it works. Where do you got a friend Where
34:07
do you have some some family then? And if they got a thing
34:12
going on those go it's all for work. It's all for work. He was
34:17
he was real happy to be here. He's an American. Now of course.
34:20
He was very happy to be here. And a great shot. I hope so. 15
34:24
box waking get a shoeshine for 15 bucks. That's very
34:30
inexpensive. I wouldn't know you don't get you wear crocs.
34:37
John C Dvorak: I don't wear crocs at all things.
34:38
Adam Curry: You wear Speedos that look like crocs.
34:41
John C Dvorak: I don't wear Speedos. I don't even know they
34:43
make shoes. What is the shoes? You had that look like crocs? I
34:47
never had shoes that look like Kroc. What were the shoes you
34:50
had that were like plastic. I've never had a plastic shoe. Okay,
34:55
you're dreaming. I don't know what kind of nightmares you have
34:59
at night. But that Guess you want to see me walking around in
35:03
a plastic shoe? That has to be something that
35:07
Adam Curry: made me it's because I was listening to DH unplugged.
35:09
And you guys are always talking about it. Oh, he's a crocs nut.
35:12
It's in my subconscious now.
35:16
John C Dvorak: The big crux fanatic, the chroming he talks
35:20
crocs he invests in crocs. He wears crocs as maybe he was
35:24
about crocs all the time. He says he has a pair of crocs that
35:26
he's had for 30 years and they've, they've never failed
35:29
them. And,
35:30
Adam Curry: you know, the story behind crocs the success story,
35:34
no, no, when the movie, Idiocracy was being shot, so
35:39
this is now what, 25 years ago, maybe longer. They were looking
35:45
the production or the art director or the production
35:47
manager was almost looking for futuristic shoes. And the woman
35:52
came to the director, whatever, you're famous guy, director, and
35:56
he said, I've got these phenomenal shoes, they're going
35:59
to be great because no one will ever wear these things. They're
36:02
so ugly, it'll look like it's from that crazy future. And that
36:05
was crocs, and that was their big. I've never heard that
36:09
story. Yeah, yeah, that was their big break. Now, crocs,
36:14
crocs for the win. And now Justin Bieber has crocs he has
36:17
crocs boots. Yeah, I
36:20
John C Dvorak: think he's wearing crocodile boots.
36:21
Adam Curry: Now. He's got Croc crocs. Sure. Yeah. Like Gucci
36:26
Croc has all kinds of stocks. Crocs, crocs.
36:29
John C Dvorak: I want to play the hearing with Stefanik.
36:34
Grilling the presidents of the three universities.
36:37
Adam Curry: This was fantastic.
36:40
John C Dvorak: And Liz McGill's Penn State apology tour later 24
36:46
hours? No, I
36:48
Adam Curry: didn't hear that. I
36:49
John C Dvorak: have that too. Well, but go you go. So here we
36:52
go. This is the next hearing and I set it up, set it up. I'm
36:56
gonna get them doing that as as you're telling me to set it up.
37:00
I'm actually setting it up to the house, which shouldn't be
37:04
the house on American Activities Committee. DeVore
37:08
x.substack.com. Read about it. It shouldn't be that but no, it
37:14
was a committee on on, on anti semitism in the universities.
37:19
And they, and they've got the president. It's all females.
37:23
Interestingly enough, the president of Harvard, the
37:27
president of MIT and the president of Penn State, and
37:30
they go through them one by one. And Stefanik, who is a very
37:33
interesting new kind of a fiery congresswoman from District 21
37:39
of New York, Republican. She's going after him. And then she
37:44
catches a kind of a, an interesting little theme where
37:49
they can't and they all kind of answer the same way. Yeah, they
37:53
all say in context is that is the key words. But she catches
37:56
the fact that none of them can say yes, to a very simple
38:00
question that if any one of them just said yeah, yes. And they'd
38:04
be passed over, I'd be fine. But now all three of them are likely
38:07
to get fired. Especially the Penn State woman who blew it the
38:11
most, or let's start. She's just crazy. But let's you hear it
38:17
when you when you go through. It's unfortunate. I feel I
38:19
apologize for the phonics, popping her piece into the mic
38:23
constantly. But here we go,
38:25
Unknown: does em at MIT, does calling for the genocide of Jews
38:29
violate MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding bullying and
38:33
harassment? Yes, or no way before?
38:35
Adam Curry: Before we get to that? When it comes to the First
38:39
Amendment? I would say calling for the genocide of anybody. Is
38:47
is that permissible? Or is that not permissible?
38:51
John C Dvorak: is permissible by the government, by Constitution
38:55
by the constant if you're running a university University,
38:58
you can have your own rules or regulations regarding what was
39:01
speech can be, you know about stuff like that? I mean, you
39:06
there has to be a limit at some point you can't say, and like
39:09
the right wing talk show, guys. Also, what if it was about the
39:12
genocide of all black people? Would they've reacted the same
39:16
TQ or allergy all gays? Yeah, it would have been, but no, it was
39:21
Adam Curry: not. Second question. If you said I call for
39:24
the killing of John C. Dvorak. Is that permissible under the
39:27
First Amendment?
39:28
John C Dvorak: I think it's a threat. Right? Okay. But a
39:31
jealousy guy could sue you or something
39:33
Adam Curry: or you can be arrested. But a genocide is not
39:36
the same threat.
39:38
John C Dvorak: genocides. It is very It seems to me to be the
39:41
same genocide Do you want to kill all people of this group?
39:44
So
39:45
Adam Curry: you should not be able to say it by the First
39:47
Amendment?
39:49
John C Dvorak: You Yeah, I think she This is where these guys got
39:52
into trouble. Yeah. They kept thinking first amendment as
39:56
well. You could you should be able to say anything you want
39:58
including it Think there's a fire in the theater. And that's
40:03
the one thing you can't say I this is not in the Constitution
40:06
that you can't. That's just a kind of a generally accepted
40:10
rule. Yeah, there's a lot of things that are just generally
40:13
accepted as you can't say these things. And this is one of them.
40:16
And all you have to do is say can you do as she asked the same
40:20
question you just say yes, you just no good yeah, you're even
40:24
get carry with her. I think it's deplorable, that anyone would
40:28
even think such a thing, let alone say it. Done. Now, you
40:32
Adam Curry: could have said yes, you can say it, but it's
40:33
horrible and deplorable. That's what
40:35
John C Dvorak: that's what you can do anything. You could do
40:37
anything. But what they did, what they did was, well, I don't
40:41
know. Let's listen
40:43
Unknown: does em at MIT. Does calling for the genocide of Jews
40:46
violate MIT's code of conduct or own rules regarding bullying,
40:51
harassment, yes or no? If targeted at individuals not
40:55
making public statements? Yes or no? Calling for the genocide of
40:59
Jews does not constitute bullying and harassment. I have
41:02
not heard calling for the genocide for Jews on our campus.
41:05
But you've heard chants for Intifada, I've heard chants,
41:08
which can be anti semitic depending on the context when
41:11
calling for the elimination of the Jewish people. So those
41:14
would not be according to the MIT's code of conduct or rules
41:18
that would be investigated of as harassment if pervasive and
41:22
severe.
41:23
Ms. McGill at Penn. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate
41:29
Penn's rules or code of conduct? Yes or No.
41:32
If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment.
41:36
Adam Curry: If the speech turns into conduct. Why Why could they
41:41
not just answer the question? What is going on? What were they
41:45
afraid?
41:45
John C Dvorak: Here's what I have a theory. Okay. Because
41:48
they all say context, especially the Harvard Woman Yeah, the
41:52
Harvard one was one of the worst but this woman here just blew it
41:55
every which way. And I she has a rebuttal. But I think the three
42:00
of them because they're all you know, either. were the top
42:03
three. Ivy League's with Ivy where they were the cat's meow.
42:10
So they got together. Oh,
42:12
Adam Curry: yeah, we're all answering it the same way
42:14
because you know, screw these. Screw this Republican. Yeah,
42:18
yeah.
42:19
John C Dvorak: They I'm sure they agreed on because they
42:20
think this idea of what depends on the context keeps cropping
42:25
up. And this one and this one, though, is the worst of the
42:28
three in terms of her saying, Well, unless they start genocide
42:32
thing is no big deal,
42:33
Adam Curry: unless they start actually genocide. And it's
42:35
okay. Yes,
42:36
Unknown: I am asking, specifically calling for the
42:39
genocide of Jews. does that constitute bullying or
42:43
harassment? If
42:44
it is directed and severe or pervasive? It is harassment. So
42:48
the answer is yes. It is a context dependent decision.
42:52
Congresswoman,
42:52
it's a context dependent decision. That's your testimony
42:55
today, calling for the genocide of Jews is depending upon the
42:59
context, that is not bullying or harassment. This is the easiest
43:03
question to answer. Yes, Miss McGill. So is your testimony
43:07
that you will not answer yes. If it
43:11
is if the if the speech becomes conduct. It can be harassment,
43:16
yes, conduct meaning committing the act of genocide. The speech
43:21
is not harassment. This is unacceptable. Miss Miguel, I'm
43:24
gonna give you one more opportunity for the world to see
43:28
your answer. No. And podcasts calling for the genocide of Jews
43:32
violate pens, Code of Conduct when it comes to bullying and
43:36
harassment? Yes or no?
43:38
It can be harassment?
43:40
The answer is yes.
43:42
Adam Curry: So clearly, they're so afraid. Here's what I think.
43:47
They're so afraid to piss off the protesting students that
43:50
they'll get lynched and lose everything I that's what's going
43:54
on here, where
43:56
John C Dvorak: that element does exist. But the thing that I know
44:00
they had to get together because each of the three uses context,
44:04
it's all
44:05
Adam Curry: the same, of course, but that's because over because
44:08
they have to have a front because all of the children at
44:11
the schools are out there protesting against genocide,
44:14
Joe,
44:16
John C Dvorak: both they have, I don't think this to be I don't
44:19
know where they're coming from in terms of their reality
44:22
checks. But it seems to me that if they just said yes, they can
44:27
be done with it. No, and the students would care. I don't
44:30
think his students even know this was going on, let alone go
44:33
after him. No,
44:34
Adam Curry: of course not. But these students don't know
44:36
anything, either. It's the political factions that are
44:40
activating them. It's the socialist groups that are
44:43
activating them. And that have been that they've been taught
44:47
for decades, about colonialism. This is this is this is the the
44:54
epitome of colonialism in their minds. This is what's going on
44:59
that Deep before we continue, the White House interns have
45:05
written a letter to the president demanding a Middle
45:08
East ceasefire. The interns? Yeah,
45:13
John C Dvorak: that's really bad.
45:14
Adam Curry: I mean, to be to be an intern in the White House is
45:18
a big deal. And they wrote, We the undersigned fall 2023 White
45:26
House and executive office of the president interns will no
45:29
longer remain silent on the ongoing genocide of the
45:32
Palestinian people. We are Palestinians Jewish, Arab,
45:37
Muslim, Christian, Black, Asian, Latina, Latina, white and queer.
45:45
We need the voices of the American people and call on the
45:48
administration to demand a permanent ceasefire. We are not
45:50
the decision makers of today but we aspire to be the leaders of
45:53
tomorrow. We will never forget how the pleas of the American
45:58
people have been not have been heard and thus far ignored. So
46:04
that's bad when your own interns the unpaid help who are there to
46:11
get a good mark for now this was a you were a good intern. Dude,
46:18
this is this is this. It's beautiful to watch because the
46:21
whole thing is backfiring. Everything.
46:25
John C Dvorak: It's hilarious, I think
46:27
Adam Curry: is quite okay. What's the third one? Is that
46:29
the
46:29
John C Dvorak: third one we go into the NBA, we finally finish
46:32
it off with the Harvard woman
46:34
Unknown: and Dr. Gay at Harvard. is calling for the genocide of
46:39
Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or
46:43
no?
46:43
It can be depending on the context. What's the context
46:47
targeted as an individual targeted as at an individual?
46:51
It's targeted
46:52
at Jewish students, Jewish individuals? Do you understand
46:56
your testimony is dehumanizing them? No. Do you understand that
47:00
dehumanization is part of anti semitism? I will ask you one
47:04
more time. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate
47:09
Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no?
47:13
anti semitic rhetoric? When is it anti semitic rhetoric, anti
47:17
semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct conduct amounts to
47:20
bullying, harassment, intimidation, just
47:25
Adam Curry: for for our deconstruction when it crosses
47:28
into conduct that means that you actually start genocide in Jews?
47:31
Is that what she means by that? Yes, what
47:33
John C Dvorak: the Penn State woman said and
47:35
Adam Curry: then when you when you start genocide in Jews, then
47:38
it's harassment and bullying. Got it? Got it. I gotta hear
47:42
that again. So when it crosses into conduct ie making good on
47:47
your threats, then is bullying pay you got to stop genocide in
47:51
the Jews bro.
47:52
Unknown: anti semitic rhetoric. When is it anti semitic
47:55
rhetoric, anti semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct
47:59
that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation, that
48:04
is actionable conduct, and we do take action.
48:07
So the answer is yes. That calling for the genocide of Jews
48:12
violates Harvard code of conduct, correct.
48:15
Again,
48:16
it depends on the context. It does not depend on the context.
48:19
The answer is yes. And this is why you should resign. These are
48:23
unacceptable answers across the board.
48:27
Adam Curry: Oh, that was almost as good as John Kerry's fart
48:30
video, whichever
48:30
John C Dvorak: one was. That's going around.
48:35
Adam Curry: Carry far too. Good goodness. So
48:38
John C Dvorak: let's go. The last clip in this series is Liz
48:40
McGill. Yes. And she the other two women didn't do this. They
48:44
sent out press releases saying well I think was misunderstood.
48:49
But Liz McGill goes on, on on social media and apologizes like
48:56
an idiot. And I it's just like it makes no sense. You had your
49:00
chance to say yes, but no, you do this instead. There
49:05
Unknown: was a moment during yesterday's congressional
49:07
hearing on anti semitism. When I was shooting
49:09
Adam Curry: her office on a webcam like thing. Is that what
49:12
she's doing here? Yep. Just
49:13
Unknown: asked if a call for the genocide of Jews che wastop.
49:18
John C Dvorak: I think what they should do if you get to do this
49:20
be in your car.
49:25
Adam Curry: We just keep it with a seatbelt on a driving as even
49:28
funnier. Even
49:29
Unknown: better the drive during yesterday's congressional
49:32
hearing on anti semitism when I was asked if a call for the
49:36
genocide of Jewish people on our campus would violate our
49:41
policies. In that moment, I was focused on our university's long
49:46
standing policies aligned with the US Constitution, which say
49:50
that speech alone is not punishable. I was not focused on
49:55
but I should have been the irrefutable fact that a call for
49:59
genocide have Jewish people is a call for some of the most
50:02
terrible violence, human beings can perpetrate? It's evil, plain
50:09
and simple. I want to be clear, a call for genocide of Jewish
50:15
people is threatening deeply. So it is intentionally meant to
50:20
terrify people who have been subjected to pogroms and hatred
50:25
for centuries. And were the victims of mass genocide in the
50:30
Holocaust. In my view, it would be harassment or intimidation
50:36
for decades under multiple pen presidents and consistent with
50:40
most universities, and readings
50:42
John C Dvorak: by the way, guys, yeah, she's
50:43
Adam Curry: totally reading it. Yeah, he's reading this. Hill
50:46
and Knowlton had to get called in for this one. Like writes up
50:49
mop man, I'm in trouble.
50:52
Unknown: For decades under multiple pen presidents and
50:54
consistent with most universities, Penn's policies
50:58
have been guided by the Constitution and the law. In
51:01
today's world, where we are seeing signs of hate
51:04
proliferating across our campus and our world, in a way not seen
51:07
in years, these policies need to be clarified and evaluated on
51:13
their use. Penn must initiate a serious and careful look at our
51:16
policies. Okay. Plus Jackson and I will immediately convene a
51:20
process to do so. As President I'm committed to a safe, secure
51:26
and supportive environment. So all members of our community can
51:31
thrive. We can and we will get this right. Thank you. Alright,
51:36
Adam Curry: so here's how it went down. Liz, this is
51:41
Rosenberg. I got a problem with my donation this year. Come on.
51:48
It's so phony. All phonies, the whole thing. Yeah, I love it. I
51:54
love it. It's so cool to see all of this backfiring every single
51:58
bit is just backfiring. I do have an NBC report. Let's see
52:03
how NBC reported on the so you had the actual clips. This is
52:07
the report
52:08
Unknown: on Capitol Hill, the presidents of three top schools
52:10
MIT UPenn and Harvard grilled over a spike in anti semitism on
52:15
their campuses. Your university is a hotbed of it hot at the
52:19
center of the hearing tension over how to protect both student
52:22
safety and free speech while combating anti semitism and
52:27
Islamophobia. disagreements
52:28
about the conflict in the Middle East should never escalate to
52:32
threats of violence
52:33
coverage President was asked about pro Palestinian
52:36
demonstrators calling for Intifada on her campus
52:40
can you not see a code of conduct at Harvard,
52:43
we embrace a commitment to free expression even a views that are
52:48
objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech
52:54
crosses into conduct that violates our policies.
52:57
In recent weeks, a number of Jewish students had told NBC
53:00
News they worry for their safety
53:02
why today a Jewish student is afraid to walk to the library at
53:06
night. Congressman, let me start by saying I'm I'm devastated to
53:09
hear that and the safety and security of our campus and our
53:14
students in particular as my top concern or three
53:17
presidents are facing criticism for their response to hate
53:20
rhetoric on campus. Each walked through new plans to combat anti
53:24
semitism. staff here at UPenn say they've received anti
53:27
semitic emails and hateful slogans were projected on
53:31
buildings now there's additional security at religious centers
53:34
and a new anti semitism task force.
53:36
Adam Curry: Now notice what word was the what word was not used
53:40
in that report? The word genocide they didn't put any of
53:44
the actual hearing into that report. They really carefully
53:48
left it out they put all that there was a big meeting about
53:51
that piece. Oh, no, we can't have that hard when you
53:55
John C Dvorak: can't Okay. This this is NBC big supporters of
53:59
Biden you can use the word genocide because people will
54:02
make it because you were still in good trying to get rid of
54:05
this genocide Joe meme. Yep, yep. So it was not your this is
54:09
your media at work covering for the president phony phony
54:13
baloney, it's unbelievably bad. So
54:16
Adam Curry: while we're on these children at schools, let's bring
54:20
in some transgenderism, some trans Maoist movement that's
54:24
going on because things are starting to become clearer and I
54:28
am so happy for Cheryl Atkinson. She still has got the I think
54:34
she has the career that Lauren Logan should have the oh she's
54:38
doing her own thing. She's agree
54:41
John C Dvorak: with that. I actually agree with that. Cheryl
54:44
has done a fabulous job of she went over to Sinclair and gotta
54:48
look. It's not the gig that she had by any means. Not even
54:51
close. But she still gets to put out what you're good material.
54:55
Adam Curry: She puts out good material. I think she's making a
54:58
little bit of money supplies like pod Cash level, you know,
55:01
but that's okay. I think her husband works. It's all fine.
55:05
And she's,
55:06
John C Dvorak: you know, she might even be making as much as
55:08
she was a correspondent at CBS. That's not the big bucks. She
55:12
wasn't like an anchor or anybody who makes a lot of money. No,
55:16
Adam Curry: but but she kept her integrity, integrity. She kept
55:19
her integrity. She still has the same kind of look. You know,
55:24
she's got that news. You know, like investigative reporter
55:27
look, with the hair tied back all good stuff. The Look, she's
55:31
got the look. And even though the editing is not superduper, I
55:36
thought that this was an it's when you hear it will go out?
55:40
Well, of course, this is no surprise. But she had the right
55:43
people. She had the right information went to the exactly
55:48
the right depth. And this was about the transgender lobby, and
55:53
it explains exactly where everything is coming from.
55:57
Unknown: We began with an investigation into the forces
55:59
working to shape our information landscape when it comes to
56:03
transgender policies. When an issue goes from zero to 60,
56:07
practically overnight, grabbing headlines, political real estate
56:10
and funding priorities. You can bet there's an invisible hand in
56:14
play. Today, some of the surprising interests we found
56:17
behind the well funded transgender lobby.
56:21
Adam Curry: All right, so she had my attention from the get
56:24
go. And surprise, surprise, this is not a grassroots movement as
56:29
everyone have you believe it's top down people
56:32
Unknown: who think that this is a grassroots movement that is
56:36
giving rise to the transgender culture in the United States,
56:40
this transgender moment that people say that we're having, do
56:44
you not understand that this is more of a top down? dynamic that
56:48
is at play where you have really just a handful of organizations
56:52
and LGBT advocacy organizations that are driving the agenda, but
56:56
because they have such sway and such money, they're influencing
56:59
everything from schools, to politicians to corporate
57:02
America.
57:03
Adam Curry: All right. So there's three groups that that
57:08
this and this guy wrote a whole bunch that a lot of research on
57:11
this. What do you think is the number one money influencer as
57:14
to this top down movement?
57:16
John C Dvorak: Well, I know one of them is Pritzker. That's
57:19
Adam Curry: that comes into number two position. Who Soros
57:23
No no, no. Think much bigger. Who controls the media?
57:30
John C Dvorak: Disney.
57:32
Adam Curry: Who controls the media? Who controls
57:36
John C Dvorak: the media Pharma? Oh, Pharma.
57:40
Unknown: The name of the report that I wrote about this for the
57:42
American principles project is called the transgender
57:44
Leviathan. I chose that name on purpose for life and this
57:47
biblical monster that's just enormous. You can only ever
57:50
catch glimpses of the full size of it. Right.
57:52
So tell me what you've learned about the big forces behind the
57:56
funding? Yeah.
57:58
So I think you can you can broadly, name three, which is
58:05
pharmaceutical companies, liberal billionaires. And
58:09
ultimately, I think, to a growing extent the taxpayer.
58:13
When it comes to taxpayers, Gonzales points to studies the
58:16
government funds, like one promoting breast removal or
58:20
mastectomy is for young girls as part of a process to transition.
58:25
But
58:25
I think the for larger and more pernicious problem is the
58:30
problem of the pharmaceutical companies are behind this stuff.
58:33
And there's so much.
58:36
One example is Lupron the drug most commonly used for
58:39
suppressing puberty. It's a first step under one model of
58:43
treating children who wished to be the opposite sex.
58:47
It's not FDA approved for use in transition therapy, right. It's
58:50
used to castrate the basically the most dangerous kinds of sex
58:54
offenders who just can't help themselves and are most likely
58:57
to reoffending. So they give them Lupron to basically,
59:00
chemically castrate them. And now we're giving it to kids to
59:03
suppress the process of them going into puberty.
59:08
To injections reportedly costing as much as $73,000 Lutron Drew
59:13
$2 billion worth of business last year for drugmaker advi.
59:18
The
59:19
Biden administration cited a study produced by a group called
59:22
The Trevor Project. And Trevor Project is an LGBT advocacy
59:26
nonprofit. And basically, the Biden administration said like
59:30
this, this study from this nonpartisan nonprofit says that
59:34
it's important for children to be able to have access to gender
59:37
affirming care, right. When you look at the funding of the
59:41
Trevor Project, what you'll see is that they actually received
59:46
$50,000 from Abby Foundation, the company that manufactures
59:49
Blue
59:50
Adam Curry: Cross, the I love it. The Trevor Project is Elton
59:54
John's in that and this is that's huge. So we know how the
59:59
farm Mystikal companies at least control what the media does or
1:00:04
does not say. So that will be kept away from the news or the
1:00:08
media at all times. But now that was not so surprising to me. As
1:00:13
this next part, which explains so much,
1:00:17
Unknown: we found an even bigger medical money interests
1:00:20
surrounding the trans movement. It involves a little publicized
1:00:24
but sad reality, the transgender HIV epidemic in seven major US
1:00:30
cities, more than 40% of transgenders are infected with
1:00:34
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, the rate is even higher among
1:00:38
transgender blacks, most of them 62% are HIV positive, according
1:00:44
to the CDC survey. That adds up to a lucrative market for
1:00:49
businesses like Gilead Sciences, a pharmaceutical company that
1:00:53
developed 11 HIV medications now on the market, earning over $1.5
1:00:59
billion a month month. And Gilead happens to be the single
1:01:05
biggest known funder of the trans agenda within $6 million
1:01:09
in 2017, and 2018. Gilead says its goal is to support
1:01:14
communities that are disproportionately impacted by
1:01:17
diseases aligned with our therapeutic areas of focus. But
1:01:20
wait, there's more. The number two funder of trans causes at
1:01:25
4.8 million over two years is Arcus foundation. Argus is a
1:01:30
nonprofit associated with billionaire John Stryker, heir
1:01:34
to the Stryker Corporation, medical technology company
1:01:37
fortune and a driver of gender identity, ideology and
1:01:41
transgenderism across the globe. Third, $4.6 million is to Wani
1:01:48
Foundation, associated with a billionaire Pritzker Family, and
1:01:52
James Now Jennifer Pritzker of the Hyatt Hotels fortune to one
1:01:57
he has large medical investments and funds causes that normalized
1:02:02
transgenderism and a broad spectrum of identities. And
1:02:06
number four among top donors to trans interest is Gill
1:02:10
foundation at $3.1 million associated with American
1:02:14
software magnate and gay activist Tim Gill, is the single
1:02:18
largest known donor to gay causes and a half billion
1:02:22
dollars total. So
1:02:23
Adam Curry: the way I read this report or hear this report, is
1:02:26
we need more transgender folk to get HIV to sell our medications
1:02:31
to if they're all in it, and they all have these these
1:02:36
companies that sell crap.
1:02:40
John C Dvorak: The marketing taken to the extreme Oh, and
1:02:44
then just marketing without conscience,
1:02:46
Adam Curry: who I mean, so pay I'll become a check. My name is
1:02:50
Pritzker. I'm Jen. Good to go. People are disturbed, and Cheryl
1:02:59
Durbin and rich. Well, that goes hand in hand sometimes, Cheryl
1:03:03
Atkinson will now wrap it up because of course this money
1:03:06
buys you everything you want, including education and
1:03:10
Unknown: money from a handful of sources, seeds 1000s of groups
1:03:14
reaching into policies and practices in government and
1:03:17
education, and corporations, universities, doctors,
1:03:21
associations, hospitals, insurance companies, media
1:03:24
outlets, journalism groups, and more. Top recipients of the
1:03:29
trans targeted money include the University of Minnesota, home to
1:03:33
Gender and Sexuality Center for queer and trans life. Another
1:03:37
top beneficiary is Annenberg Center for Health Sciences at
1:03:41
Eisenhower. It sponsors programs like this one for health care
1:03:45
professionals.
1:03:46
Hello, and welcome to
1:03:48
the Elevate webinars series on creating a gender affirming
1:03:51
healthcare environment for optimal HIV care. Funding for
1:03:55
transgender causes continues to hit new highs each year, by one
1:04:00
analysis, the top 10 foundations that give the most made up 55%
1:04:05
of the funding. In the end, the explosion and transgender
1:04:09
influence of society and politics can largely be traced
1:04:13
to a handful of powerful interests.
1:04:15
Adam Curry: There you go. And of course, stopping advertising of
1:04:20
pharmaceutical products directly to consumers on television would
1:04:23
help a lot of this.
1:04:25
John C Dvorak: Yeah, help prevent it. And by the way, this
1:04:27
is the kind of report that you would have seen on the show 60
1:04:30
minutes about 15 or 20 years ago
1:04:32
Adam Curry: longer. I don't even think to do that now.
1:04:35
John C Dvorak: 60 No, they
1:04:36
Adam Curry: don't do it. Now. You know what 60 minutes is
1:04:38
doing now they're doing native ads for IBM for their quads.
1:04:42
Computer shows.
1:04:43
John C Dvorak: The show is unwatchable. Yeah.
1:04:46
Adam Curry: Yeah, the quantum computer or IBM is that we don't
1:04:50
have we don't have an AI play. So we got to do quantum. But
1:04:55
this is their watch, but this is right. This is a horrible,
1:05:01
horrible they don't care about the children. They've completely
1:05:04
captured parents who are dumb now it's called Trans housing by
1:05:12
proxy. Who are narcissistic Cluster B personality disorder?
1:05:19
Who were who and I say that with love and understanding because
1:05:23
they were traumatized Munchausen this is now an accepted term
1:05:29
trans housing by bipolar trans housing. Yes, it went from
1:05:34
Munchausen by proxy to trans housing by proxy. It is
1:05:37
apparently an accepted term in the hate is the epic times the
1:05:43
epoch, Epoch Times. Parents personality disorders driving
1:05:47
surge in trans kids. The it's true, it's I mean, of course,
1:05:54
there are people with gender dysphoria there have always been
1:05:56
people with gender dysphoria. But this move to 30% of kids
1:06:00
saying, Oh yeah, I'm non binary I'm in February Jamie Reid,
1:06:06
former case manager at the Washington University for
1:06:08
transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, exposed
1:06:11
practice at the clinic and describe parents who were
1:06:13
adamant about transitioning their children. Her revelations
1:06:16
became the catalyst for Missouri lawmakers to draft a law barring
1:06:19
hormone therapy. And this is where they coined the phrase
1:06:23
trans hate. Yes, Trent, trans housing by proxy. But it's
1:06:28
narcissism by many of these. It's the same thing as was, you
1:06:33
know, you get some Hollywood celebrities to start to kick off
1:06:36
the GPL. One mania, the ozempic You know, and then everyone
1:06:49
follows it's, it's the advertising is the problem.
1:06:53
That's the biggest problem. We could stop so much by just
1:06:58
stopping that. And while we're on it,
1:07:03
John C Dvorak: well, that was depressing. Well,
1:07:07
Adam Curry: I'll lift your spirits with some crazy stuff
1:07:09
here. They there is such a push to get these semaglutide drugs
1:07:17
into the Medicare package and forced forced insurance that
1:07:26
they are just dead just rolling out everything they can. It
1:07:30
helps you lose weight. But wait, let's bring on George
1:07:33
Stephanopoulos. This is Good Morning America. And these are
1:07:40
people who take themselves very seriously. Listen to the crap
1:07:43
they are doing
1:07:44
Unknown: that a new research on ozempic and alcohol. It finds
1:07:47
that the weight loss drug may also help prevent alcohol
1:07:49
overuse and abuse Dr. Jenn Ashman is standing by first to
1:07:52
Russia has the details.
1:07:54
Adam Curry: No, I'm alcoholic abuse. It helps what
1:07:58
Unknown: I have noticed everything drink wine anymore.
1:08:00
And it's it's That's crazy to me, because I couldn't stop
1:08:04
before
1:08:05
this morning the wildly popular drug use for weight loss
1:08:08
semaglutide is now showing very early signs of potentially
1:08:12
curbing alcohol use for those who drink excessively a new case
1:08:16
study composed of
1:08:18
Adam Curry: the we used to call those drunks or alcoholics now
1:08:20
it is alcohol use disorder.
1:08:24
Unknown: For those who drink excessively, a new case study
1:08:27
composed of six people's Whoa, six gay people, people reading
1:08:32
positive for alcohol use disorder or AUD found that they
1:08:36
all saw a clinically significant decrease in symptoms while they
1:08:40
were using semaglutide for weight loss. Christy Martin who
1:08:44
was not part of the study says whilst he used to drink wine
1:08:47
every night, her urge to drink has disappeared. Drinking
1:08:51
for me was becoming a bit of an issue. I
1:08:55
Adam Curry: can't believe this is on television. I was I was a
1:08:58
drunk I was a wash. But then I took the ozempic
1:09:02
Unknown: and the fact that I just have no desire for it is
1:09:06
something I didn't expect and is just an amazing side benefit. I
1:09:10
can't even tell you how amazing
1:09:11
this small case study now setting the stage for larger
1:09:14
clinical trials. Looking at semaglutide as a treatment for
1:09:17
AUD as researchers explored whether the drug has the
1:09:21
potential to treat other excessive use conditions. And
1:09:26
again, this initial study only included six patients but as you
1:09:29
heard more thorough studies are already underway. It could be
1:09:33
years before we know the true results. Does it matter? No.
1:09:36
Okay, well, thanks for Oh, thanks.
1:09:38
Adam Curry: I'm gonna tell you let's put this bet that report
1:09:42
was discussed and it's not over. It's not over. I'm going to put
1:09:46
in the red book right now. That there will be a study that was
1:09:51
six people is the norm these days there will be a study that
1:09:54
shows that ozempic is great for erectile dysfunction, I
1:09:59
guarantee it this is the only thing they're missing. Is this
1:10:03
the only thing? You know I was kind of you know flaccid but now
1:10:06
man, I'm not only my trim but look at look at it. Dr. Janice
1:10:10
Unknown: here. You know a lot about these drugs you're board
1:10:12
certified in obesity medicine What is this study board
1:10:14
Adam Curry: certified in obesity medicine? Okay,
1:10:17
John C Dvorak: tell us. What's
1:10:18
Unknown: interesting about this is astute doctors for years who
1:10:21
have been managing patients on the GLP. One agonists. That's
1:10:25
the semaglutide class for weight loss and treating obesity, have
1:10:29
started to hear anecdotal reports of this, this small case
1:10:32
study of these six patients was really one of the first times
1:10:36
that reported in the literature, their their experience with
1:10:41
their cravings for alcohol use their subjective experience with
1:10:45
that really powerfully documented theories, our
1:10:48
Adam Curry: subjective experience with that this is
1:10:51
this is a native ad of the most lowest form, the lowest form,
1:10:56
and it's minutes and minutes of this stuff,
1:11:00
Unknown: their subjective experience with that really
1:11:02
powerfully documented theories are that works in the brain in
1:11:06
the reward center. But this can be a major indication, I have to
1:11:10
say, you know, we
1:11:11
know a lot of people who are taking drugs, and they report
1:11:14
the same thing. You know, a
1:11:15
Adam Curry: lot of people who are drunks here at ABC is
1:11:17
reporting the same thing. So
1:11:19
Unknown: literally, they do. Yeah, but what are
1:11:20
their treatment options are available for substance abuse
1:11:23
disorders, well, this is
1:11:24
one of those bright spots is that it sheds light on what
1:11:27
treatments are already existing and how they're not being used.
1:11:31
Three FDA
1:11:32
Adam Curry: approved event, an extra bonus, they're promoting
1:11:34
some other drugs,
1:11:35
Unknown: medications. For people with alcohol use disorder, they
1:11:39
are vastly under prescribed behavioral interventions. And
1:11:42
then tech based or app based therapies,
1:11:45
Adam Curry: tech based or app based therapies,
1:11:49
Unknown: based, obviously, increasing in popularity and
1:11:53
research, but they have a role as well. But all of these
1:11:56
things, this isn't about just, you know, potentially choosing
1:11:59
one, it's about if you have an alcohol use disorder or
1:12:01
substance use disorder, filling the boat and getting as much
1:12:05
treatment it
1:12:05
Adam Curry: was, it was substance abuse. But now that
1:12:09
they have this new term, I don't know, saying this substance use
1:12:13
disorder, alcohol use disorder, not abuse, use. So you're not
1:12:18
quite a drunk, but you're kind of on the way.
1:12:21
Unknown: And as you can make a big change in your life, as we
1:12:24
were just discussing. I mean, it really seems like a miracle
1:12:27
drug. Why do you think that there seems to be a stigma
1:12:29
against the use of social backgrounds, lash Lindsey is
1:12:32
huge, whether it's for weight management or mental illness,
1:12:35
and that really can't that it's just wrong, you know, if you had
1:12:38
high blood pressure, you would treat it. There's a role for
1:12:41
these. For every one, it's not one size fits all, but you have
1:12:44
to factor in the risk of not taking a medication like this,
1:12:48
versus the benefits of treating your risk of not taking it
1:12:51
Adam Curry: isn't this great? Wow, you can't afford the risk
1:12:55
of not taking this this medication, it could it's so
1:12:57
benefit. It is a Hamas support disorder, it will, it will cure
1:13:02
everything
1:13:02
Unknown: Crusher, you would treat it. There's a role for
1:13:05
these. It's not for everyone. It's not one size fits all, but
1:13:08
you have to factor in the risk of not taking a medication like
1:13:11
this, versus the benefits of treating it when you weigh those
1:13:14
options. Seems like so helpful. risks
1:13:17
John C Dvorak: of not taking it versus the benefits are
1:13:20
unbelievable way of putting it and by the way, I think you get
1:13:23
paid. It's almost like I'm reminded of the old was that
1:13:27
show where they would get into fights on the stage all the
1:13:29
time, Springer show Jerry Springer show where they have a
1:13:33
this was revealed by someone who's on the show that you got a
1:13:36
sheet that if you did this, you got paid so much you did that
1:13:40
you got paid so much bonus. And so you picked through a shoe,
1:13:45
you get 500 bucks, something like that. Yeah. There is
1:13:49
obviously a bonus clause in here for saying for somebody say if
1:13:53
somebody says it's a miracle miracle
1:13:55
Adam Curry: drug,
1:13:56
John C Dvorak: there's 500 bucks.
1:13:57
Adam Curry: I think this is more than that. I mean, the doctor
1:14:02
Jen,
1:14:05
John C Dvorak: to the obesity expert, board
1:14:07
Adam Curry: certified, Dr. Janice saying you really I mean,
1:14:11
you'd have to, you'd have to weigh the risk of not taking
1:14:14
this
1:14:16
John C Dvorak: versus she should be just barred for at this
1:14:19
point. You can't disappoint anybody. But she should be
1:14:22
something should be done about someone who's who puts it in
1:14:25
that way. In other words, it's risky not to take it. It's
1:14:29
beneficial to take it but what
1:14:31
Adam Curry: you're saying here is that this obesity, and this
1:14:33
is the bottom line, John, everybody knows obesity. It's a
1:14:36
disease. It's not because you eat. It's a use disorder, a food
1:14:41
use disorder. You see this is where this is going treated.
1:14:44
Unknown: There's a role for these. It's not for everyone,
1:14:46
it's not one size fits all but you have to factor in the risk
1:14:49
of not taking a medication like this, versus the benefits of
1:14:53
treating it when you weigh those options. Seems like so helpful.
1:14:56
Diabetes, weight loss, alcohol, you
1:14:58
name it origin. Thank you. So much. That's
1:15:01
Adam Curry: awesome everything. Now, there is of course, you
1:15:05
know, a closing to this eight minute story. We
1:15:09
Unknown: are back now with a question from our viewers and
1:15:11
Dr. Jenn is here to answer it. Of course, the question is, I'm
1:15:14
using off of ozempic. And I'm worried about the weight coming
1:15:17
back. Any suggestions for this? So first
1:15:19
of all, it depends on each individual, of course. But yes,
1:15:23
people should expect that some amount of weight loss on these
1:15:27
GLP one agonists will come back. Oh, because that is the chronic
1:15:32
condition of overweight and obesity. It's not like treating
1:15:35
strep throat where once you're done, you're done away, how much
1:15:39
we'll come back is an unknown. But what is happening in the
1:15:43
real world is that a lot of doctors who have patients on
1:15:47
these kinds of medications like ozempic, we go the Manjaro are
1:15:51
are kind of putting them on a maintenance plan as
1:15:54
Adam Curry: a maintenance plan. This is a great drug, we need
1:15:59
this in Medicare a maintenance plan. You're on it for ever,
1:16:03
Unknown: in terms of long term. So what could that look like
1:16:06
potentially, and again, it will be different for every person,
1:16:08
it might mean instead of taking a shot or an injection every
1:16:12
week, maybe you're taking it every two weeks or every 10
1:16:15
days, it might be going down on a dose it might be alternating
1:16:19
weeks, one week on one week off.
1:16:21
Adam Curry: This sounds a lot like the Sacklers with the with
1:16:24
the opioids or just change your dose, don't worry point
1:16:27
Unknown: is that you have to remember the condition of
1:16:30
overweight and obesity are chronic conditions.
1:16:34
Adam Curry: It's chronic condition, you can't help it
1:16:36
it's chronic, it's a disease, that's that's all that there's
1:16:40
there for you need a maintenance program, you need to keep taking
1:16:43
it because otherwise that weight is going to come back or
1:16:44
Unknown: not as simple as treating an infection for a
1:16:47
short period of time, and then you're done with it. So long
1:16:50
term management is going to be a big part of it. And we still
1:16:53
don't know what that will look like there is
1:16:54
a weight management component to this where the donor can kind of
1:16:57
decide to lower the dosage to make sure you're consistent and
1:17:00
you're not losing more weight than you want.
1:17:02
Absolutely, just like we do managing patients on other types
1:17:05
of medications. It's not always the official way that the drug
1:17:09
is designed. But this is what doctors and health care
1:17:12
providers do to help their patients manage a chronic
1:17:15
condition. So we should be hearing more about that because
1:17:18
they're going to be a lot of people who are going to be
1:17:20
managed on these medications. Oh
1:17:22
Adam Curry: my god, this is so horrible. But you know, this is
1:17:30
this is who we are, this is who we are as Americans. I'm almost
1:17:39
speechless of hearing. Hearing this. And then okay, then last
1:17:43
one, I'll stop. This is not about to ozempic this is well,
1:17:50
actually, I should I should do this one. This is this is the
1:17:53
Wall Street Journal, Wall Street Journal report, which has a
1:17:56
podcast in the morning. And they they now so I'm gonna play this,
1:18:03
this clear native ad about ozempic and new term will be
1:18:08
introduced to and then listen for the story that comes right
1:18:12
after this one
1:18:13
Unknown: as demand for weight loss drugs like ozempic and
1:18:15
we'll go V continues to surge food companies are looking for
1:18:18
ways to cash in like by pitching companion products or even
1:18:22
natural alternative companion
1:18:24
Adam Curry: products. We should do a podcast that companion
1:18:27
product for for your ozempic weight loss will be motivated
1:18:32
just
1:18:32
John C Dvorak: be food.
1:18:34
Unknown: Joining me to discuss is reporter Jesse Newman pay
1:18:37
Jessie pay their HSA there, of course, food companies are
1:18:40
looking to see whether and how these drugs will reshape
1:18:43
American diets, how are they responding?
1:18:46
big food companies
1:18:47
like everyone else have certainly noticed how popular
1:18:50
these drugs that were designed to treat diabetes and obesity
1:18:53
have become. And they've really been watching us these drugs
1:18:58
just have gotten incredibly popular spread to millions of
1:19:01
consumers throughout the US. And there's some concern that that
1:19:06
could sort of take a bite out of demand for the products that
1:19:09
these companies make, oh, we better get some food. And so
1:19:14
what we're seeing is it's very early days, but we are seeing
1:19:17
some companies that are trying to step in and develop some
1:19:21
companion products to proffer to patients on these drugs.
1:19:25
So what are some of their solutions?
1:19:27
We're seeing companies like Nestle and Abbott and they are
1:19:31
coming up with what they're calling companion products. And
1:19:33
these are products that the patients who are taking diabetes
1:19:37
and weight loss drugs could also consume if for example, they're
1:19:43
losing muscle mass. There's a startup out in California. If
1:19:48
Adam Curry: you're losing muscle mass, which is the main thing
1:19:50
these products remove, okay, if you find that you're that you
1:19:54
have ozempic Ask because you lose it because of muscle mass
1:19:57
loss. We got some chocolate for you and the startup is doing
1:20:00
Unknown: super gut and there were like mixes and shakes and
1:20:04
bars out of ours Hi Terry prebiotic fiber blend that they
1:20:08
call nature's event. Actually, same thing that these drugs can
1:20:13
do. Okay, so
1:20:14
Adam Curry: this is the bullcrap report but wait for the next
1:20:17
story in this pod using
1:20:18
Unknown: all natural foods.
1:20:19
That was WSJ is Jesse Newman.
1:20:23
Adam Curry: And now on to the next story, what should it be?
1:20:26
Unknown: And finally, after seven years of research,
1:20:29
McDonald's is taking its burgers making more than 50 tweaks to
1:20:33
its signature offerings is not
1:20:34
Adam Curry: by mistake people. This is how your American media
1:20:38
works. It's not a mistake. Like you can lose the weight now go
1:20:43
eat a burger. And right on cue right on to right on cue. Did we
1:20:52
not say that McDonald's was going to have all the morning
1:20:55
shows doing their new thing now?
1:20:57
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, we're they're munching down on burgers
1:20:59
and going yum.
1:21:00
Unknown: Let us turn now to our headline making mystery from the
1:21:03
world of fast food.
1:21:05
Adam Curry: The world of fast food. Are you excited? Yeah.
1:21:07
Unknown: Look at this. It's a building in suburban Chicago and
1:21:10
it's been getting a lot of attention on social media. Now
1:21:12
look closely or write their cosmetics comic.
1:21:17
John C Dvorak: What's that? What
1:21:20
Unknown: is asking what is this all about? And this is Maggie
1:21:22
vest. Vash is a head of the Maggie Good morning. What's it
1:21:26
all about?
1:21:29
Hey Savannah, guys. Good morning. Yeah, we wish we knew I
1:21:31
mean, well, you can see they're clearly keeping it under wraps.
1:21:34
There's literally a tarp over this way if that's not fluid
1:21:38
enough, the major chain backing dispenser, which if you haven't
1:21:40
figured it out by now is McDonald's, confirming much at
1:21:44
all tied to cosmic that being said fast food fans and industry
1:21:49
experts agree this mounting MC mystery marks a very American
1:21:54

Adam Curry: I'm just gonna leave all that just goes to the
1:22:58

1:23:01
Unknown: That's an interesting thing to end on. And by the way,
1:23:03
guys, we've talked a lot about online sleuths, right? Well
1:23:05
basically before these signs were tarps and it was kind of
1:23:08
being kept under wraps to this degree. It's worth noting people
1:23:11
online were doing everything they could to find out anything
1:23:15
about cosmics Case in point one guy who posted these photos on X
1:23:19
have what he says is cosmics menu you can see if this is the

1:23:47
McDonald's has yet to confirm anything official that being
1:23:51

1:24:16
John C Dvorak: that these people are
1:24:18
Adam Curry: should be arrested. Should this is
1:24:21
John C Dvorak: this is our news media. This is what it comes
1:24:23
down to Yes. These are your news there and who gives a shit this
1:24:28
is not across the street from me what there's as a make serious,
1:24:31
Adam Curry: believable. He's a serious journalists.
1:24:35
John C Dvorak: Well, that's what they liked. Well, yeah, I like
1:24:38
to think that and they all hate Trump. So let's make sure they
1:24:40
get that even. These are the same people that Trump did you
1:24:45
know when they did the debate they asked Trump was on with
1:24:48
Hannity at the same time oh really programmed that's funny.
1:24:50
I didn't so he did an ECT made some deals doing stick doing
1:24:55
material. Yes, joking around. Good. Good answer. So one of the
1:25:00
things he said was, yeah, they want me to be a keep saying I'm
1:25:03
gonna be a dictator. I am not going to be a dictator. Wait,
1:25:06
wait, I'm going to be a dictator. I'm going to be a
1:25:08
dictator for one day, one day and he's going to close the
1:25:13
border and start drill drill drill, and then that's this is
1:25:15
the end of his dictatorship. So NBC, so I got this thing, this
1:25:21
that clip. It says true moto.
1:25:23
Unknown: Yes. Okay.
1:25:25
John C Dvorak: So, instead of seeing this as a joke, you know,
1:25:29
because Trump was kidding around doing anything he could to keep
1:25:32
people's attention off the debate.
1:25:34
Adam Curry: Yes, they took it so seriously. They went all
1:25:36
bananas. They
1:25:37
John C Dvorak: went nuts. This is NBC. Former
1:25:42
Unknown: President Donald Trump is taking heat for comments he
1:25:44
made last night in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity,
1:25:48
Trump was asked if he would ever abuse power if he won the
1:25:51
presidency. Take a listen to his response.
1:25:55
He says you're not going to be a dictator. Yeah. I said no, no,
1:25:57
no other than day one, with closing the border with drilling
1:26:01
drilling drilling after that I'm not
1:26:03
NPCs Ali Vitaly joins us now from Tuscaloosa, Alabama ahead
1:26:07
of tonight's Republican debate there. Ally. What is the
1:26:10
backlash? Ben to those comments? What are we hearing from
1:26:12
supporters of President Trump and from the Biden campaign?
1:26:16
You're hearing very little from the Republican side. And I
1:26:18
wonder if that will change once candidates who are vying to
1:26:21
actually be the nominee over Trump take the stage though they
1:26:25
have been pretty slow in the past to condemn or even critique
1:26:28
his remarks in this space. From President Biden though we're
1:26:32
hearing his campaign arm say believe Trump when he says this,
1:26:35
believe him when he says that he will be a dictator, even if it's
1:26:39
only for one day. But these comments really can't be taken
1:26:42
outside of a vacuum for Trump. He has made comments akin to
1:26:46
this over the course of the last several years, praising
1:26:49
dictators and authoritarians from North Korea to China. Even
1:26:52
joking when Xi Jinping several years ago was able to fully
1:26:56
establish himself in control of the executive power there in
1:26:59
China joking that that was something that he wished he
1:27:02
could do. So this is certainly a new comment from the former
1:27:05
president, but one that tracks in a vein of comments that we've
1:27:08
seen from him over the course of the last few years.
1:27:12
Adam Curry: Oh, man,
1:27:13
John C Dvorak: can you believe
1:27:14
Adam Curry: these people? Well, so I did watch Tina and I
1:27:17
watched about two commercial breaks worth of news nation,
1:27:23
because that's what this debate aired on, which was nation. So a
1:27:27
couple of comments, one, Cuomo I'm glad Chris Cuomo has a gig.
1:27:33
He he fits in very well there.
1:27:37
John C Dvorak: I think so. Yeah. I
1:27:37
Adam Curry: think it's good for him. I'm happy. I am kind of
1:27:39
happy for him. To Tina actually forbid me from doing this, but I
1:27:45
cannot help myself. Megyn Kelly, her face is so thin. It looks
1:27:51
like the screen mask. There's something up the it is too thin.
1:27:57
John C Dvorak: I mean, Kimmy she looks gaunt.
1:28:01
Adam Curry: Gets gone gaunt. Yes. It was too thin. It's like
1:28:05
It's like she's half a half half of her face is you already
1:28:08
John C Dvorak: answered the question. Gone early. The
1:28:10
earlier clips. Well, I
1:28:12
Adam Curry: don't want to go V I don't want to body shame. That
1:28:16
was I was expressly for Bolton. That's why I just the face look
1:28:19
like the screen mask. It was weird. Weird. Go
1:28:24
John C Dvorak: back and look at I haven't untain Yeah, Chris
1:28:26
Adam Curry: Christie. His he's only there to protect Nimrod.
1:28:32
That's his only job. The all he did. All I saw him do was hey,
1:28:37
lay off her. I like I like her. I like Nikki Haley.
1:28:41
John C Dvorak: Oh, so he's a foil false total foil.
1:28:45
Adam Curry: Vivek, that's the way apparently you pronounce his
1:28:47
name. Vivek. doesn't care. He had it. He had a great line
1:28:50
though. And I really enjoyed it. He said me the Christie or Haley
1:28:57
can't who want to send your kids to go fight against Russia and
1:29:00
Ukraine. Or Joe Biden. And he said can answer can give me the
1:29:04
name of three provinces in eastern Ukraine. Which of course
1:29:09
they couldn't. That was a genius. Genius move. Beautiful
1:29:14
now yeah, it was really good. And who cares? Everything else
1:29:17
he had, you know, it'd be Vegas just doing stuff. That's funny.
1:29:20
It's good. It's good.
1:29:22
John C Dvorak: I don't know what is in the as long game is while
1:29:25
he's not going
1:29:25
Adam Curry: to be vice president.
1:29:26
John C Dvorak: I know. Of course.
1:29:27
Adam Curry: I did get way I do get the boots on the ground
1:29:30
about Christie. No member I was saying that people in South
1:29:32
Dakota don't like her. Yeah, I want to hear the stories. Okay,
1:29:35
so this is from Craig Weinberg. This is his sir Craig. One of
1:29:41
the main issues with Christie is that she's a liar. She seemed to
1:29:44
have more interest in national politics and South Dakota during
1:29:48
the early days of COVID. She claimed to never have shut
1:29:51
anything down and let the people make their own decisions, except
1:29:54
it was the Speaker of the House at the time who had a very
1:29:56
different story. He has receipts to show that she actually wanted
1:30:01
to give her health secretary full control to shut down
1:30:04
whatever they wanted. But the legislator in the middle of the
1:30:07
night put a stop to it. She also says things like my budget, my
1:30:11
plan, when she's not writing anything, there's also the
1:30:14
alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski that broke pretty
1:30:17
big over the summer that she has avoided talking about. For
1:30:20
years, there was speculation that it was happening, but the
1:30:22
proof seems a lot more real now. She'll say whatever she needs to
1:30:25
align with Trump all the thinking if she wants his VP
1:30:27
spot, she will get killed in a general election. Maybe, maybe.
1:30:33
So that was the main thing. Also farmers lobbied the Public
1:30:36
Utilities Commission. Oh, this was she wanted. She wanted
1:30:44
carbon pipelines and was going against the farmers. So they
1:30:49
don't really like her. She's not all that loved as people make
1:30:53
her out to be, at least not in South Dakota. But she's got a
1:30:56
look. She's got the look. She's got a good look. And
1:30:59
John C Dvorak: she's got a good pattern. She's got a good spiel.
1:31:01
She's She wouldn't get killed in a general election. She's not
1:31:04
running for president. Nobody votes for the vice president
1:31:07
anymore. We're not an 1800s bosses, but it's just a name on
1:31:11
the ballot. Take
1:31:12
Adam Curry: it up with Craig, man. Don't tell me. I didn't.
1:31:16
John C Dvorak: You know, she doesn't look at the right to me.
1:31:19
Although, you know, Trump has shown that he can't pick
1:31:21
Adam Curry: any candidate the right people now.
1:31:23
John C Dvorak: So how is that going to change?
1:31:27
Adam Curry: So I have an NPR clip one minute long, which I
1:31:31
think is about the debate.
1:31:32
Unknown: The fourth Republican presidential primary debate is
1:31:36
in the books Florida Governor Ron De Santis or South notice
1:31:39
Adam Curry: how they always say, I think they're doing it to piss
1:31:41
him off. DeSantis isn't that is DeSantis but now he knows
1:31:48
DeSantis MPR. Santas Lux believes on
1:31:54
Unknown: a Ron DeSantis former South Carolina Governor Nikki
1:31:57
Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and ex New Jersey
1:32:00
Governor Chris Christie squared off last night at the University
1:32:04
of Alabama. Haley was the target for much of the night more so
1:32:08
than former President Donald Trump who skipped the event.
1:32:11
Haley has been climbing in the polls of late Pat Dawkins with
1:32:15
Alabama public radio spoke with some students in the audience
1:32:18
afterwards. Nikki
1:32:20
Haley got the warmest applause as the four candidates took the
1:32:23
stage in Tuscaloosa and the sharpest attacks that included
1:32:27
Vivec Ramaswamy. You held up a handwritten sign reading Nikki
1:32:30
equals corruption. That was just one thing that didn't impress
1:32:33
University of Alabama freshman Charlie Berry.
1:32:36
That was embarrassing seeing them talk over each other argue
1:32:39
over each other. I don't want to see that out of my camp. My
1:32:43
presidential candidate I don't want to see another Trump. Trump
1:32:46
are like
1:32:46
that. The UAE economics major was one of only 50 students
1:32:49
allowed in to watch the debate. The audience for the Tuscaloosa
1:32:52
campus venue was close to 1000 donor NPR News. I'm Pat Duggins.
1:32:56
in Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
1:32:58
Adam Curry: it was donors, special interests and donors.
1:33:03
John C Dvorak: That a few students into 5050 students so
1:33:06
we can get a bitch about it. I don't want to see that from my I
1:33:10
don't want another Trump. Whatever we get. It has to
1:33:13
definitely be a negative. Do you get the right guy? Hey, find
1:33:16
somebody. It's one of the kids who hates Trump. Well, that's
1:33:18
all of them hate Trump. Alright, we'll just get make sure you get
1:33:20
that in there. Just
1:33:21
Adam Curry: hate the Trump. Yeah, that's that's what you do.
1:33:23
That's all you do. So I do
1:33:28
John C Dvorak: yeah, he's got some thing about this. Nikki
1:33:30
Haley. They're all the all the left is promoting Nikki Haley.
1:33:33
They will let the 00 even
1:33:36
Adam Curry: prof G and Kara Swisher like why could live with
1:33:39
Nikki Haley? Really? So there weren't she's a warmonger man.
1:33:45
Totally they all are. I'm having dinner with the oil baron
1:33:50
tonight. Ah, okay, so oh and I think that he I don't know if he
1:33:55
supports Nikki Haley but the industry share does so he'll
1:34:00
I'll get she's
1:34:01
John C Dvorak: not going to he's no good
1:34:05
Adam Curry: but no, she's no good.
1:34:07
John C Dvorak: She's no good
1:34:07
Adam Curry: she's no good. There's also she has no chance
1:34:12
this is like
1:34:12
John C Dvorak: well that's why they that's why the left wants
1:34:15
to run and they keep boosting her yeah, this is what the
1:34:17
Republicans were really good at years ago that's when they had
1:34:21
that guy Eagleton. They would find people they'd promote to
1:34:25
get him into the you know, the Republicans are very happy that
1:34:28
George McGovern ran as the as the Democrat because after
1:34:34
Kennedy was assassinated because he would have been a problem but
1:34:38
the govern goes down he is not going to beat anybody. So you
1:34:42
put them in Yeah, okay. run against Nixon. Good luck.
1:34:45
Adam Curry: All right. That's too funny.
1:34:50
John C Dvorak: I have a couple odd balls. I do have a three by
1:34:52
three.
1:34:53
Adam Curry: Oh, I was not prepared. Hold on a second. Is
1:34:56
John C Dvorak: not one of the best that doesn't exist is there
1:34:58
little long just Same billing are by three producer well
1:35:04
Adam Curry: we have a three by three jingle yeah I think we
1:35:06
have we do yes we do. Some my computer's going slow today for
1:35:11
some reason now it's time for a three by three by Jessie
1:35:17
comparing story from ABC is normally at the top of the show
1:35:25
it's a different moment here. This is something new it must be
1:35:28
it's either really good or just mediocre was kind
1:35:32
John C Dvorak: of in between but it's has a it's about this weird
1:35:38
little bull crap. And these reports may all be bogus, in
1:35:42
fact, about the attacks on the chips and the Rams. Yeah, man.
1:35:47
Yeah. Back and forth and back forth and we don't want to play
1:35:50
them. I want to play the ABC NBC person. The CBS report is the
1:35:54
only one that all of a sudden out of the blue as opposed to
1:35:58
the other two reports introduces a whole new factor. Okay, which
1:36:03
we'll start with ABC. The
1:36:05
Unknown: Pentagon now says that the US has taken new defensive
1:36:08
action in the Middle East. A deadly US drone strike tonight
1:36:12
this time in Iraq targeting militants who The Pentagon says
1:36:15
we're about to target American forces. Here's Martha Raddatz.
1:36:20
Tonight, the Pentagon revealing a conducted a deadly drone
1:36:24
strike on militants in Iraq, who the US says we're planning to
1:36:28
launch a drone attack on American forces. Five of the
1:36:32
Iranian backed militants were killed. It came as a US
1:36:36
destroyer in the Red Sea spent more than seven hours on Sunday
1:36:41
responding to multiple attacks. It began at 9:15am. local time,
1:36:47
the Pentagon said the US has corny tracked a ballistic
1:36:51
missile fired from Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen landing
1:36:55
in the waters near the cargo ship unity explorer at 12pm. The
1:37:00
Kearney detects and drone from Yemen heading in its direction.
1:37:04
The Navy crew shooting it down 35 minutes later, the Unity
1:37:09
explorer under fire again, this time the missile hits the ship
1:37:14
the carny response as another inbound drone is detected and
1:37:19
shot down at 3:30pm. A third ballistic missile hits another
1:37:25
cargo ship. There is damage reported but no casualties. One
1:37:30
hour later, a fourth ballistic missile hits a third cargo
1:37:34
vessel again the carny racing to this ship to render aid as yet
1:37:39
another drone is launched in the carnies direction and shot down
1:37:46
the Pentagon blaming Iran for enabling these attacks using
1:37:49
some of the strongest language we've heard about Iran, but it
1:37:53
is unlikely the US will retaliate against Iran directly
1:37:57
for these attacks. Given that the Pentagon says they do not
1:38:00
believe the USS Carney was an intended target. Although Jake
1:38:04
Sullivan the National Security Adviser made clear that any
1:38:08
response by the US will be at a time and place of his choosing.
1:38:14
Adam Curry: I have a couple questions before we get to the
1:38:15
next one one this drone was that like a foreign like Reaper sized
1:38:20
drone was it one of
1:38:21
John C Dvorak: those who said unlikely did they didn't know
1:38:23
real damage didn't kill anybody no data we're shooting them down
1:38:27
left and right this is a story is a hoax. You know what I also
1:38:31
here's why isn't aren't the aren't the Houthis fighting the
1:38:35
battles they're supposed to be fighting against the Saudis but
1:38:39
they shouldn't ask for in the middle of nowhere
1:38:41
Adam Curry: when it comes no sense when it comes to the big
1:38:43
money organizations in the United States. I mean, the
1:38:47
military industrial complex could take a page out of the out
1:38:50
of the farmer playbook man is much more entertaining their
1:38:53
stuff. They're not making this fun and entertaining. No one
1:38:58
wants to hear this. They got to spruce it up. You know what I
1:39:01
liked? I liked the the body cams like when those the Houthis No,
1:39:09
no the Houthis they hijacked that ship. Okay, like two weeks
1:39:13
ago, and they had you know they had the helicopter and they
1:39:16
jumped out of the helicopter and then they got into the crew. But
1:39:20
it was all it was all body cam footage to even have footage
1:39:25
done. Yeah, but that's like a video game. It's like first
1:39:28
person shooter video game it's exactly the same thing now. It
1:39:33
could have been a video game for all I know it's getting pretty
1:39:36
good.
1:39:37
John C Dvorak: Well there have been people that have sent video
1:39:40
game footage into town lots of news media and they've picked it
1:39:43
up as live reporting I've fallen forward
1:39:46
Adam Curry: of course. I mean, have you seen the new Grand
1:39:48
Theft Auto that was starting to look pretty good
1:39:52
John C Dvorak: duty the rest of their all dynamite? Yeah, it's
1:39:54
all
1:39:55
Adam Curry: good. Yeah. So I bet you we could we could say that
1:39:59
we have Footage from a war and just have our producer send us
1:40:02
the right bits from Call of Duty and we could just make a report
1:40:05
and it would go viral.
1:40:09
John C Dvorak: So Lester Holt comes on with his report, which
1:40:14
is a little long and it's same basic thing these missiles going
1:40:19
back and forth. We don't know they don't tell us any details
1:40:22
about these drones, any of them. Are they made out of paper
1:40:26
mache? Are they the ones that Iranians build that they give to
1:40:31
the Russians and motorcycle engines? We have no idea they
1:40:35
don't tell us anything. And it's just it's like a lot. These are
1:40:38
lousy reports.
1:40:40
Unknown: Nearby in the Red Sea and other dangerous situation
1:40:43
appears to be escalating. In the latest chapter a US Navy
1:40:47
destroyer rushed to the aid of commercial ships at the Pentagon
1:40:51
says came under ballistic missile fire from Iranian backed
1:40:55
militias
1:40:55
Adam Curry: ballistic missile fire now oh, that's serious. We
1:40:58
get late details now
1:40:59
Unknown: from Courtney QB at the Pentagon.
1:41:02
Tonight the White House pointing the blame squarely at Iran after
1:41:06
an hour's long drama at sea Sunday that saw a US military
1:41:10
warship rush to aid three commercial vessels under fire
1:41:14
that gun. The weapons here are being supplied by Iran and Iran,
1:41:19
we believe is the ultimate party responsible for
1:41:21
this. It began around 9:15am Sunday when a ballistic missile
1:41:25
landed near a commercial ship in the Red Sea. Then at noon, the
1:41:29
USS Kearney a Navy destroyer intercepted the first of three
1:41:33
drones fired towards commercial ships and the carny itself.
1:41:37
ballistic missiles later hitting all three of the cargo ships one
1:41:42
after another. None of the ships suffered major damage or
1:41:45
casualties. Responding to each distress call the carnie found
1:41:49
itself directly in the path of Houthi attack drones. The
1:41:53
Pentagon says there are no indications that drones were
1:41:55
targeting the carny but still shot them down. The Iranian
1:41:59
backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have targeted Israeli own ships
1:42:02
in the Red Sea before
1:42:03
we do not believe that all three of the ships had ties to Israel.
1:42:06
And it goes to show you the level of recklessness that the
1:42:09
Houthis are operating on. In
1:42:11
October the carny shot down
1:42:13
John C Dvorak: cruise notice that hold on. Yeah. Did you
1:42:17
notice little parsing that you can get away with? It's like, we
1:42:20
have no evidence that all three of the ships are tied to Israel.
1:42:24
Now of course, it's always means that two of them could have been
1:42:29
you chickenshit stuff. These people do this
1:42:32
Adam Curry: and get away with ballistic missile where was that
1:42:35
and of ballistic missiles.
1:42:37
John C Dvorak: But when they I've seen the missiles they did
1:42:40
recovered from the some of the stuff they recovered from Gaza
1:42:44
or like they look like hobbyist missiles or like ballistic but
1:42:48
five feet long.
1:42:49
Adam Curry: No. What's interesting in all of this, have
1:42:51
you heard or seen a single story this week about Hamas shooting
1:42:54
rockets into Israel?
1:42:58
John C Dvorak: By her not this week, but right after this
1:43:01
ceasefire, I heard about oh, yeah, no,
1:43:03
Adam Curry: but it's been all this week. Right up until this
1:43:05
morning. Brian of London is there you sending me videos? Oh,
1:43:08
there they go. They said you'd never hear about that. No, I
1:43:13
don't know why
1:43:14
Unknown: I'm calling the carny found itself directly in the
1:43:17
path of Houthi attack drones. The Pentagon says there are no
1:43:21
indications that drones were targeting the carny but still
1:43:23
shot them down. The Iranian backed Houthi rebels in Yemen
1:43:26
have targeted Israeli own ships in the Red Sea before. We do
1:43:30
not believe that all three of the ships had ties to Israel,
1:43:33
and it goes to show you the level of recklessness that the
1:43:36
Houthis are operating on.
1:43:38
In October the carny shot down cruise missiles and drones The
1:43:41
Pentagon says we're fired by Houthis towards Israel last cut.
1:43:45
Since the Houthis have repeatedly targeted ships in the
1:43:49
Red Sea, the US Navy shooting them down. And all of this comes
1:43:53
as Iranian backed militias continue to attack us military
1:43:57
bases in the Mideast despite us retaliatory strikes. But your we
1:44:01
spoke to the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today
1:44:04
is this evidence that the war in Israel and Gaza has really
1:44:07
boiled over into a larger regional conflict it could
1:44:09
be and so that's one of the things that we want to track
1:44:11
closely.
1:44:12
To coordinate we've seen the US strikes have not deterred other
1:44:16
Iranian backed militias from attacking us bases. So is the US
1:44:20
now considering any actions specifically against the Houthi
1:44:23
rebels?
1:44:24
Well, let's there so far the US has not launched any strikes
1:44:27
against Houthi rebels recently, but officials here tell us after
1:44:30
this weekend's attack they are not ruling anything out.
1:44:34
Adam Curry: They just can't get these are these are the wrong
1:44:36
reports. If they want to get a reason to bomb Iran, they've got
1:44:40
to do something different this is not working stinks in their
1:44:44
long to the stink long,
1:44:47
John C Dvorak: way too long. But the next with the next one is
1:44:49
interesting because I think has a piece of info besides the fact
1:44:53
that you've seen these maps they keep showing. It looks like we
1:44:55
have about 20 bases in this area. These
1:44:58
Adam Curry: areas. Yeah, parallel Oh, Monica. Yes,
1:45:01
John C Dvorak: geez. Well anyway, let's get the CBS report
1:45:03
out of the way. Yeah. Additionally, this is the one I
1:45:06
think that's the most interesting. The escalating
1:45:08
Unknown: violence in Gaza is raising tensions across the
1:45:11
entire region today.
1:45:12
Today the White House pointed the finger directly at Iran,
1:45:16
after an American warship was forced to shoot down multiple
1:45:19
drones that were targeting various commercial ships in the
1:45:22
Red Sea stop
1:45:23
John C Dvorak: every second. Have we been pointing the finger
1:45:26
at Iran since the first episode since this whole thing began in
1:45:31
October 7. Yes, and I just why is this like she make it out to
1:45:35
be sounded like it's new. I
1:45:37
Adam Curry: realized what they're doing wrong. Ellison hit
1:45:40
me. They need to intersperse these reports with those shots
1:45:45
of Iranians going Death to America Death to America. That's
1:45:50
what they need to put in there. This is not working. That
1:45:53
John C Dvorak: would work. Yeah, I liked that idea. If I was
1:45:55
producing I was there's no reasoning deputy everything else
1:45:58
they do is out of context. Yeah, you might as well do you
1:46:01
Adam Curry: know when you get some moolah as they're going out
1:46:04
of death to America, Death to America, then they can say the
1:46:08
chanting Death to America, Death to America and the ship and the
1:46:12
shoot and chips whatever.
1:46:13
John C Dvorak: You got a good thing or not produces you gotta
1:46:15
bring it home. You got to personalize this. We have the
1:46:18
whole country in flames.
1:46:19
Unknown: We're targeting various commercial ships in the Red Sea.
1:46:23
Mr. David Martin is at the Pentagon with new details.
1:46:26
Martin Rooney and backed Houthi rebels in Yemen had already
1:46:32
hijacked one commercial vessel in the Red Sea. And now they
1:46:36
have attacked three more, hitting them with anti ship
1:46:39
missiles. National Security Adviser Jake Salvini.
1:46:42
And attacks on commercial shipping and international
1:46:44
waters are totally unacceptable and have to stop.
1:46:47
The Houthi said vowed publicly to attack Israeli shipping. But
1:46:51
none of the vessels hit on Sunday had a current Israeli
1:46:54
connection.
1:46:55
It goes to show you the level of recklessness that the Houthis
1:46:59
are operating on.
1:47:00
Solomon blamed Iran as much as the Houthis. We
1:47:03
are talking about the Houthis here they're the ones with their
1:47:06
finger on the trigger. Oh, that gun, the weapons by Iran
1:47:10
supplied by Iran. Three
1:47:11
Houthi drones flew toward an American destroyer in the Red
1:47:14
Sea, which had answered the distress calls from the ships
1:47:18
under attack. The USS Kearney shot the drones down even though
1:47:21
it was not the intended target.
1:47:24
If left unchecked, this could get more serious and more
1:47:31
prevalent.
1:47:32
retired admiral Jamie fogo says, with one carrier task force in
1:47:36
the Mediterranean and another in the Persian Gulf, the US has
1:47:40
more than enough firepower with which to retaliate,
1:47:43
taking out the missile prior to hitting the target and taking
1:47:47
out the launcher. We're perfectly capable of doing that.
1:47:50
Now. A US
1:47:51
official tells CBS News The Pentagon is considering striking
1:47:56
targets in Yemen, but warns that would only give the Houthis
1:48:00
exactly what they want, which is to provoke a wider Middle East
1:48:03
war. There was one retaliatory strike in the region this
1:48:07
weekend, when a US drone killed five Iraqi militants as they
1:48:12
were preparing to attack American troops.
1:48:17
Adam Curry: As they were preparing.
1:48:19
John C Dvorak: First they read their minds. Yeah. And they're
1:48:22
Iraqis. This was not Iranians Iraqis. What was that all about?
1:48:28
And we said that we played a clip about three show two, three
1:48:31
shows ago from Al Jazeera, where the Iraqi government told us to
1:48:36
get the hell out of there because you're killing our
1:48:38
people for no good reason. Remember that? Yes. Yes. And so
1:48:42
this seems to be something going on in Iraq. That's not kosher.
1:48:48
Yeah, it's using the word kosher. Probably the wrong
1:48:51
context choice
1:48:52
Adam Curry: of words. I don't take everybody by JC grand
1:49:00
experiment who parents don't read from ABC. I do have two
1:49:08
quick observations with observatory clips that I thought
1:49:12
I'd like to share. This is from NBC. This is the possibility of
1:49:18
although I've already seen video of it on telegram so it must be
1:49:21
real as a possibility the following Mayhap
1:49:25
Unknown: Israel says it's destroying Hamas in Gaza above
1:49:28
ground and below, targeting what it says are 300 miles of Hamas
1:49:33
tunnels. Military officials showed NBC news videos they say
1:49:37
were taken in the northern Gaza City of Beit Hanoun. A soldier
1:49:41
points to a Hamas tunnel outside of a classroom. Israel has blown
1:49:45
up some now a US official tells NBC News The Israeli military is
1:49:50
exploring a new tactic flooding the tunnels with seawater.
1:49:54
Adam Curry: Now it's it's interesting they always say sea
1:49:57
water and They always add that in there. And this triggered.
1:50:03
This is biblical. Now this is this is what's interesting about
1:50:06
it, judges 945, New International Version. All that
1:50:12
day I've been Melek pressed his attack against the city until he
1:50:15
had captured it and killed its people. Then he destroyed the
1:50:18
city and scattered salt over it. I'm telling you, these people,
1:50:22
this whole region is is biblically nuts. Yeah, totally
1:50:27
going in saying
1:50:29
John C Dvorak: that that report from Richard angle, which is
1:50:33
questionable, I have a very short 24 Second Gaza report from
1:50:38
NBC, which is I think it was connected to that what you just
1:50:41
played. There's an anomaly in here and I want to just mention
1:50:45
it for a minute because it's gotten on my nerves. I mentioned
1:50:48
last show now I'm gonna mention it again, intensifying
1:50:51
Unknown: up and down the Besiege. Strip. Israeli forces
1:50:53
say they're battling three Hamas strongholds, two in the north,
1:50:56
and one in the south. The Israeli military says it's
1:50:59
launched around 250 airstrikes across Gaza. In just the past
1:51:02
day alone.
1:51:03
The Israeli military also releasing this video saying
1:51:06
troops uncovered the largest stockpile of weapons so far in
1:51:10
the Gaza Strip. NBC News cannot verify that claim or when
1:51:13
exactly this footage was recorded. Oh,
1:51:15
Adam Curry: because they got it from telegram? Well,
1:51:18
John C Dvorak: I don't care about that. How come they make
1:51:20
that they do the disclaimer on that, but they never do to the
1:51:24
disclaimer on the number of dead know that the Ministry of Truth
1:51:29
up in Gaza says was said we got 15,000 dead. And they never
1:51:33
watched a disclaimer for that. There's no we don't have any
1:51:36
verification of that. But yet, when the Israelis put out some
1:51:40
information like that, the cache of weapons, they put on a
1:51:44
disclaimer. And I would say this is related to the mention of the
1:51:47
fact that all these missiles are flying in there and nobody's
1:51:51
covering it. They NBC in particular is anti Israel. And
1:51:57
not just gonna put that out there. Yeah, not
1:51:59
Adam Curry: just that, but I think that it we we only tracked
1:52:02
it a little bit when the whole Supreme Court thing was coming
1:52:04
down in Israel, which preceded all of this mess. Israel has
1:52:09
really had really gone woke you'll recall that Sir Brian
1:52:12
London, was explaining to us what these protests were about.
1:52:17
Then it was really it was like he said, it's comparable to
1:52:21
black lives matter in the United States. Which means which which
1:52:24
to me means it'll have a similar outcome where a few there's
1:52:29
millions, hundreds of millions of dollars goes in and then it
1:52:32
goes away cities are destroyed and the people make off with the
1:52:37
with the loot and you don't hear from again, and that's the end
1:52:40
of it. And now, Turkish radio and television TRT I love
1:52:44
getting their slant on things because of course they hate
1:52:46
Israel. They're bringing up something that has changed in
1:52:51
Israeli politics. And here comes
1:52:55
Unknown: another crisis seems to be brewing for Israeli Prime
1:52:58
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. And this time, it's with his defense
1:53:02
minister, you have Galland. The two were to host the joint
1:53:06
conference on Saturday. But gallant was on our show.
1:53:09
I suggested to the defense minister tonight to hold a joint
1:53:13
press conference and he decided what he decided the
1:53:16
two aren't strangers to disputes. Netanyahu had fire
1:53:20
gallons in March for objecting to his controversial judicial
1:53:23
reform proposal. Gallons dismissal was reversed weeks
1:53:27
later, and the proposed legislation passed but being
1:53:31
challenged in the Supreme Court my last one October turbine,
1:53:35
Antonia Well, unfortunately,
1:53:37
there is a tension between Netanyahu and gallant and this
1:53:40
is not new. Several months ago, Netanyahu decided to dismiss
1:53:43
Scarlet from his position as defense minister. But frankly,
1:53:47
this is what distinguishes Netanyahu cannot see anyone in
1:53:51
the minister taking independent steps that might be considered a
1:53:54
threat to Netanyahu. And
1:53:56
yet the rift between Netanyahu and gallant has deepened because
1:53:59
of the ongoing war, and the Prime Minister is facing
1:54:02
mounting pressure domestically for the security and
1:54:05
intelligence lapses that happened on October 7, and
1:54:09
internationally to accept the ceasefire. The latest polls show
1:54:13
his popularity has plummeted to an all time low, and it's
1:54:18
believed that veteran politician has sought to prevent other
1:54:21
members of a security cabinet including Galland from receiving
1:54:26
credit for securing the release of Israelis under the hostage
1:54:29
deal.
1:54:30
Adam Curry: Sounds to me like they're going to end this the
1:54:32
same way they're going to end Ukraine. Bibi gets the BB takes
1:54:37
the blame for everything. That's what seems like
1:54:42
John C Dvorak: that's what Bill that's that's a good plan. They
1:54:45
Adam Curry: should hurry up. Because it's messy.
1:54:50
John C Dvorak: That means do as much damage as you can before
1:54:52
that happens. Yes.
1:54:53
Adam Curry: In biblical fashion. Sambal and even people who hate
1:54:57
Bibi are all like yeah, we still got to do this
1:55:02
John C Dvorak: That's difficult.
1:55:05
Adam Curry: And, you know, as in the West, we can't really
1:55:08
imagine what that's like, we can't imagine this, this or
1:55:12
this, you know, centuries old dispute that just keeps on
1:55:15
going. It's hard for people to imagine and looking at it from a
1:55:19
Western lens is wrong. We just We just can't imagine what this
1:55:24
is like. There's no way we're going to what Europe is going to
1:55:27
learn.
1:55:29
John C Dvorak: Well, Europe's always close to it. Yeah,
1:55:31
Europe's gonna learn. We always slide somehow we get out of the
1:55:35
deal at some point. Yeah, we're isolated.
1:55:40
Adam Curry: We are we're landlocked. We're ocean locked.
1:55:43
John C Dvorak: We're ocean locked ocean logs. I have a
1:55:47
couple of other things here that I wanted to play this for you.
1:55:55
Adam Curry: The troll was like we're assholes. Well, yeah,
1:55:57
there's that.
1:56:01
John C Dvorak: Yes, you want to provide a mental health crisis
1:56:03
of pilots?
1:56:06
Adam Curry: Yes, yes, there is a large mental health. That's why
1:56:09
pilots are doing shrooms.
1:56:13
John C Dvorak: You here's the mental health of pilots. I want
1:56:15
to get your feedback on I got this clips for you. Okay, the
1:56:18
Unknown: mental health of America's commercial airline
1:56:20
pilots is taking center stage today at the nation's capitol.
1:56:24
The National Transportation Safety Board or NTSB is holding
1:56:27
a summit on that issue in Washington on Monday, the
1:56:29
Federal Aviation Administration announced a new committee to
1:56:32
look at the pilot mental health and identify barriers that
1:56:35
discourage pilots from reporting mental health issues. NBC News
1:56:38
aviation correspondent Tom Costello has more. When
1:56:42
you board a flight, you assume the pilot is mentally fit to
1:56:45
fly. But aviation and mental health experts say current
1:56:49
regulations cause too many pilots to keep their struggles a
1:56:53
secret, leading to mental health breakdowns some in flight. Today
1:56:58
the NTSB is holding a summit with experts to develop
1:57:01
solutions.
1:57:02
What's unsafe is not getting people the help they deserve.
1:57:06
Take the
1:57:06
case of veteran pilot Joseph Emerson, the guy that tried to
1:57:10
step into the cockpit in October Emerson tried to shut down the
1:57:15
engines of an Alaska Air flight while hitching a ride in the
1:57:18
cockpit. A grand jury is now indicted him on 83 misdemeanor
1:57:23
counts of reckless endangerment and one count of endangering an
1:57:26
aircraft. Emerson has pleaded not guilty in court filings, he
1:57:30
claimed he was having a mental health emergency. He told police
1:57:34
he'd been depressed for six years had recently lost a friend
1:57:38
and had taken psychedelic mushrooms 48 hours prior to the
1:57:42
flight. Experts say contributing to the bigger problem. The FAA
1:57:46
relies on pilots to self report mental health issues, while
1:57:51
periodic medical exams require pilots to disclose if they're in
1:57:55
mental health treatment. The exams do not include in depth
1:57:58
psychological evaluations, or recent inspector general report
1:58:02
found this limits the FAA is ability to mitigate safety risks
1:58:06
because pilots are reluctant to disclose mental health
1:58:09
conditions due to the stigma and the fear, it will hurt their
1:58:13
careers. This
1:58:15
Adam Curry: is absolutely true. And I've heard I've heard a lot
1:58:19
about this. There's a huge stigma you have to self report.
1:58:22
And pilots, of course are not going to self report. But that's
1:58:25
no different from train conductors, audit people on the
1:58:29
road. You're your neighbors, everybody's bus driver,
1:58:33
everybody's in a mental health crisis. Because we went through
1:58:36
a very traumatic time.
1:58:39
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and they were and there was traumatized.
1:58:42
Adam Curry: That's the definition of government. Yes.
1:58:46
And a lot of pilots may have they, they they were forced to
1:58:51
take medicine, they didn't want to under severe duress. Some of
1:58:55
them have other health problems they don't want to disclose. And
1:58:59
the same goes for air traffic control. Yeah, but you know,
1:59:04
this is all just a prelude to getting the pilots out of the
1:59:07
cockpit. You know, I'm waiting for Elon Musk to pop up and go
1:59:11
you go I have a solution. AI can fly them really.
1:59:17
John C Dvorak: Like part two of this.
1:59:18
Unknown: We need to have a system that allows people to be
1:59:21
more forthcoming and to have treatment for issues that
1:59:24
shouldn't keep you out of the cockpit. On Monday, the FAA
1:59:27
announced it is creating a special committee now to
1:59:29
identify barriers that discourage pilots from reporting
1:59:33
mental health issues getting fired. He says most conditions
1:59:37
if treated will not disqualify a pilot from flying. We have
1:59:41
to normalize mental health care we have to make sure the choice
1:59:48
isn't received treatment or fly.
1:59:53
The Airline Pilots Association says it supports these
1:59:56
initiatives and also wants the FAA to fund a peer support
2:00:00
training program for pilots that would encourage them to confide
2:00:04
in each other and help connect them with mental health
2:00:07
resources to keep them in the cockpit back to you.
2:00:12
Adam Curry: So do you have any other questions because this is
2:00:14
not new pilots are known drinkers.
2:00:19
John C Dvorak: They why is it why they make a news out of it?
2:00:23
Well, I have a prelude to the pilot list plane now no one's
2:00:28
gonna fly in for at least a decade
2:00:30
Adam Curry: they really don't want you flying at all they
2:00:32
don't want they don't want you to leave your home. They want
2:00:34
you to stay in your 15 Minute city you want you to shut up
2:00:37
John C Dvorak: city that's to get the 15 Minute cities to give
2:00:41
away now
2:00:41
Adam Curry: she want you to shut up stay at home work by remote
2:00:45
vote democrat vote Democrat don't go anywhere and get be
2:00:48
trans. I don't know. It's they don't want you flying. That is
2:00:53
so obvious. No. Then they're going to make it very expensive.
2:00:58
With carbon credits. We'll we'll still be doing the show when
2:01:01
that happens. And they want to bring in more bullcrap AI
2:01:05
stories, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. I'm just waiting. And where's Elon?
2:01:09
Come on, tell me, you know? Well, again, it's even easier
2:01:13
and easier to have the AI pilot. Rockets.
2:01:18
John C Dvorak: Have you seen? I guess Calacanis has a new
2:01:21
podcast called The all in podcast and he's bringing some
2:01:25
that for years the all in No, I didn't know it was that long.
2:01:28
Adam Curry: Well, why are you watching?
2:01:29
John C Dvorak: It looks different on this thing. He
2:01:31
because he had Tucker on he went on and on about stuff. And, and
2:01:35
there was a very couple very funny moments in there where he
2:01:38
was acting as though him and Tucker are on the same league as
2:01:43
interviewers. But I don't know if you've seen this, but but
2:01:47
he's got a different look. Calacanis Canis looks like the
2:01:51
tenor in a Canadian barbershop quartet.
2:01:55
Adam Curry: That's not different. That's his look.
2:01:57
John C Dvorak: I don't I don't remember him looking that. That
2:02:01
square?
2:02:04
Adam Curry: No. Do you have a clip for this?
2:02:06
John C Dvorak: No, I didn't I decide not to get a clip for it.
2:02:10
It's probably a publicity,
2:02:11
Adam Curry: it's probably better. Probably better. What is
2:02:14
Tucker doing? What is Tucker doing? He just he's just doing
2:02:19
interviews everywhere. And then he puts the thing on x and what
2:02:23
is he doing? What does anybody doing? You know, the podcast
2:02:25
industrial complex finally, finally crumbled this past week.
2:02:31
glorious moment. One
2:02:32
Unknown: out of every six employees of Spotify won't be
2:02:35
around next year. The company's making those deep cuts to its
2:02:38
payroll as it looks to cut expenses. top executives blame
2:02:41
higher interest rates during the day make borrowing for capital
2:02:44
expenditures more expensive. The affected employees will receive
2:02:47
several months severance the cut follows two previous layoffs
2:02:51
this year a total of 800 employees were let go
2:02:55
Adam Curry: there you go. Right that $1 billion dollar
2:02:59
investment worked out great.
2:03:01
John C Dvorak: Well I did for the guys who got the billion.
2:03:04
Adam Curry: Well, what are we drinking? Oh, it's
2:03:06
John C Dvorak: a Lagunitas fresher.
2:03:10
Adam Curry: Oh, and poppy or hoppy? Hoppy so there's your
2:03:14
drinking beer basically? No,
2:03:16
John C Dvorak: it's just a hop flavor is actually mildly hot
2:03:20
flavored sparkling water and who makes like it's everybody's
2:03:26
everybody's talking about it
2:03:30
Adam Curry: everyone there are now it's beer basically it's
2:03:35
like a
2:03:36
John C Dvorak: Chandi beers water that has hops in it
2:03:39
Adam Curry: you're drinking no candy
2:03:40
John C Dvorak: no no malt there's no there's no alcohol is
2:03:45
no
2:03:46
Adam Curry: Do they still make that on the can anywhere shandy
2:03:49
I haven't seen it for years. Oh man this beer was seven up I
2:03:53
think and this is the member
2:03:55
John C Dvorak: the beam and coke in a can have
2:03:59
Adam Curry: never had it. That was That was during the show? I
2:04:02
think I recall that. It was a brief, a brief thing. No, I like
2:04:08
this Shandy. It's like 2% Alcohol Whoo. Yeah, you could
2:04:12
buy it in the can beautiful wood that I'd like to thank you for
2:04:16
your courage since you're drinking shandy on the on the
2:04:19
job and say hello to my friend on the other end Ladies
2:04:23
Gentlemen please welcome the one and only way with That's the man
2:04:26
who put the sea in the companion products the one and only Mr.
2:04:28
Johnson
2:04:33
John C Dvorak: Well, in the morning you must round curry in
2:04:36
the morning to all ships see boots on the ground feed near
2:04:38
subs in the water. And all the damos nights out there in the
2:04:41
mornings
2:04:42
Adam Curry: for the trolls Hello trolls hold I know I'm coming to
2:04:44
you early So hands up. 1846 on the troll count 1846 is right on
2:04:55
the money. We are slowly moving our executive producer segment
2:04:59
more towards the begin thing of the show as our PhDs have
2:05:01
tapered off, of course, the promotion ended. So we're going
2:05:05
towards the end of I think we only really have eight, eight,
2:05:09
executive and associate executives today. So this is
2:05:13
where it just it's just the end of the it's the end of the end
2:05:15
of the university is how it works. Although the 31st of
2:05:20
December, or the 33rd December, I think, what is it three to
2:05:24
one? It's no 31st The 31st is a show day, isn't it? It's like,
2:05:30
it's like the super. It's like the super
2:05:33
John C Dvorak: one palindrome. 332123
2:05:36
Adam Curry: once it's Oh, 123123 There you go. Yeah, it's gonna
2:05:40
be great. And we'll be doing the show then. And
2:05:43
John C Dvorak: yeah, 123123 what, I don't know what you can
2:05:46
do with that. $123 Maybe 123,123 $23,000 would be
2:05:52
Adam Curry: dynamite. John and Adam will fly in and have dinner
2:05:54
with you. Oh, yes.
2:05:56
John C Dvorak: I'll tell you what. $123,000 we will both fly
2:05:59
in and clean your house. What else? Well, I'm down about the
2:06:02
house cleaning but we will have dinner. We'll bring a house
2:06:06
somebody to clean the house.
2:06:08
Adam Curry: We do love our trolls are trolls are here to
2:06:10
listen live and to troll. Now. I still have not replied to any
2:06:14
posts on no agenda social as it just devolves into the
2:06:18
environment.
2:06:20
John C Dvorak: Any evidence that you have? I have not I haven't I
2:06:23
Adam Curry: have not. Well, now you sound like mainstream news.
2:06:26
I have not. I have not posted anything. Because every single
2:06:29
time you're sick of it, I'm so sick of it. It's no good. And
2:06:34
it's not. It's not the you're the one who set it up. But it's
2:06:37
not the people. You have to understand. It's the system, the
2:06:42
system,
2:06:43
John C Dvorak: the message, the media is the message, which is
2:06:46
the old Marshall McLuhan idea.
2:06:48
Adam Curry: I would say that's true. Yes. Yeah. He
2:06:50
John C Dvorak: his theory was that it's not any it's not the
2:06:53
kind of is nothing but the media itself, whatever mediated books,
2:06:57
TV, radio, in this case, social media. It has its own. It does
2:07:03
say it does something to your brain that's very specific to
2:07:07
the media itself. Correct. Yeah, and it hasn't been it hasn't
2:07:11
been extrapolated to social media, but McLuhan's idea, but
2:07:17
that's your basic thought. And,
2:07:19
Adam Curry: and what's surprising is that it happens
2:07:23
without algorithms. I thought algorithms made this happen. But
2:07:27
that's not what it is. People are so narcissistic, they need
2:07:31
to, you know, post their 1000 memes, then they need to tag me
2:07:35
and say, I don't care what you say, we're just gonna be like
2:07:39
this forever, bitch, you know, stuff like that.
2:07:42
John C Dvorak: And see now? I think this the just yeah, that's
2:07:46
basically
2:07:47
Adam Curry: what it is. And then people say, Adam wanted a
2:07:49
utopia. No, I didn't. It was it was a mastodon, it was cool. I
2:07:52
just set up a server. And then when it became too much time
2:07:56
management for me, I just gave up and then, you know, luckily,
2:08:00
Aaron or took over, but he's not posting much, either. I think
2:08:03
he's sick of it too. Because that's all that it's that and
2:08:07
it's not our people. And you know, and a lot of people try to
2:08:11
manage it. But then when they see someone going off the rails,
2:08:14
the worst thing you can do is say, Hey, man, calm down. I
2:08:17
mean, it doesn't work. That'll do it, it doesn't work. And I
2:08:21
think it's because it's, it's when you can reply to someone
2:08:25
and create your own thread, and it has the same equal weight
2:08:28
equal size as the original. There's something fundamentally
2:08:32
wrong, that doesn't work for human beings. That's just what
2:08:35
it is. And in that regard, I think Twitter and Facebook and
2:08:39
Instagram, I agree with Nimrod, Haley, I think you should have
2:08:43
to register with your real name. Because then it will all go away
2:08:47
because then no one will do anything anymore. No,
2:08:50
John C Dvorak: well, what will happen is that people will find
2:08:53
find workarounds. Well, I work around people are not going to
2:08:58
do that. They're going to find workarounds and my real name all
2:09:00
of a sudden is going to be something you know some other
2:09:03
phony name well we know no way you can't there's no way you can
2:09:07
police that you can phony up driver's licenses you can
2:09:10
there's it just gets worked around. Why the meta net invites
2:09:17
again, the media is the message the internet invites anonymity
2:09:21
and if you try to squash anonymity, workarounds, like all
2:09:26
tech, work around comes around, and boom, you got no end and you
2:09:30
got anonymity again, in a different form. I'm
2:09:32
Adam Curry: all for anonymity, but you know, on your own blog,
2:09:36
I'm all for anonymity post away do whatever you want on your on
2:09:40
your substack not on social media. There I think just just
2:09:44
to get rid of it. It's not doable.
2:09:47
John C Dvorak: Now well, you don't get rid of it is that it's
2:09:49
here to stay?
2:09:50
Adam Curry: I'm voting for Nikki Haley.
2:09:52
John C Dvorak: She's gonna
2:09:53
Adam Curry: she's gonna she's gonna force us on no agenda. No
2:09:56
John C Dvorak: bigs, nothing she's another blow hard politic.
2:10:00
Question. I've anyway, I've just given up. I've seen by the way
2:10:03
you play a clip of Trump saying I'm going to be a dictator for
2:10:07
one day, and then they've made a big fuss about it. Can I use it
2:10:11
just kind of a rhetorical question because Trump
2:10:14
supposedly is it you know, he's the liars liar. And he's 30,000
2:10:20
lies. How come everything he says is a lie? Except this.
2:10:25
Former
2:10:25
Unknown: president? Oh, you guys
2:10:26
John C Dvorak: take him at his word. Oh, I'm
2:10:29
Adam Curry: sorry that you want me to play the clip again? Oh,
2:10:30
yeah. No, I
2:10:31
John C Dvorak: don't want to play the clip. And I'm just
2:10:32
gonna say, they say, oh, no, if he says you're gonna be you
2:10:35
gotta take him at his word. You gonna take him at his word? He's
2:10:37
been a bullshitter since the get go. And they call him out on
2:10:41
being one and he's a liar. Liar. But yet in this situation, you
2:10:45
got to take him at his word. make up their minds.
2:10:49
Adam Curry: I see. Well, you know, the the line I think is
2:10:52
when someone tells you what they are, believe them. That's my
2:10:56
favorite. When someone tells you who they are, you should believe
2:10:59
them believe. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're right. But he's
2:11:06
John C Dvorak: full of crap.
2:11:07
Adam Curry: I love all the dislike now. The Bronx, you
2:11:11
know, all the man on the streets off the job shows up on YouTube
2:11:14
and on the reels and shorts. Well for Trump. The hood is for
2:11:18
Trump. They never put that on television. Yeah,
2:11:24
John C Dvorak: that's the best. They don't put anything
2:11:26
Adam Curry: on anyway. So I am a big fan of the an anonymous
2:11:30
trolls in the troll room. I think this is a great outlet. I
2:11:34
think it's therapeutic. It's very good. If you are not
2:11:37
already trolling along on show day, which now you have to do it
2:11:42
live. It does not for everybody. It's not easy for everybody to
2:11:46
be doing this. But if you can, this is therapeutic. You go on
2:11:50
there you go nuts. You're gonna have a crap name. You can name
2:11:53
yourself whatever you want. You can you can insult me. The only
2:11:58
thing that gets you cut off or kicked off is if you post you
2:12:02
know, flood post, like post a whole bunch of things in a row.
2:12:05
Otherwise, here there's white mics as we your white mic. Just
2:12:08
the fact that he's white. Mike, we hate you, Adam. Yeah,
2:12:11
exactly.
2:12:12
John C Dvorak: This is great. Like,
2:12:15
Adam Curry: we got racist in there. But it's good because
2:12:18
he's really the big like, I
2:12:19
John C Dvorak: wonder. It's like,
2:12:20
Adam Curry: it's like, everybody has this Tourette's when they
2:12:23
get up. They just go crazy. It's beautiful. And but it's there's
2:12:29
no permanent record. So you know, it's not gonna hurt you on
2:12:32
a job interview. You don't have to say who you are. No one's
2:12:36
tracking your IP address. Nobody cares. Do whatever you want. And
2:12:41
it's funny. I mean, I'm logged in all the time. I've just
2:12:45
walked by my computer and they're really going crazy now.
2:12:49
That's right, let it out trolls let it all out. You can become a
2:12:54
troll and it you know do what pilots pilot commercial pilot
2:12:57
should get in the troll room and just go nuts and say whatever
2:13:00
they want and feel about their company the FAA you know during
2:13:05
a pilot podcast because we of course there's no agenda
2:13:08
stream.com is 24/7 We have all kinds of podcasts on there and a
2:13:12
lot of them are live and you can just mad just go nuts I'm all
2:13:16
for that. That is good. Data is held
2:13:19
John C Dvorak: no way say one's good and the other isn't because
2:13:22
this is
2:13:22
Adam Curry: this isn't no record. This goes this scrolls
2:13:24
off. It's done. Then you can't comment
2:13:28
John C Dvorak: everything on no agenda social scrolls off the
2:13:31
eBay, you
2:13:31
Adam Curry: know what I mean? It's different. It's different.
2:13:34
And then you sit there refreshing Oh, just reply to my
2:13:37
post my smite my awesome meme. Did someone do anything yet now?
2:13:43
You can also go to troll room.io This is where you can listen to
2:13:47
the stream. There's now all the apps are starting to do the live
2:13:51
stuff is great at podcast apps.com The modern podcasts
2:13:55
fountain is doing the live stuff now. Pod verse podcast guru
2:14:01
curio caster cast thematic everyone's on board now we're
2:14:05
getting even better. We can do a live concert on December 28 and
2:14:08
the 21st in video. I mean, we are kicking Spotify ass.
2:14:14
Pathetic, pathetic over there. And what are we doing with with
2:14:18
chewing gum with chewing gum and gaffer tape. That's how we do it
2:14:24
at podcasting. 2.0 We are value for value as you heard earlier.
2:14:30
You cannot monetize the network. None of it worked. Everyone went
2:14:34
out of business. It's very sad. I mean, I'm sad for the people
2:14:37
at Spotify. They already couldn't make money because the
2:14:40
record companies own everything and the minute the record you
2:14:42
minute you raise your prices the record companies go okay, we're
2:14:45
gonna ask more for a license. Which they did. And then you
2:14:49
know, the whole idea was hey, look at all these millions of
2:14:52
podcasts for free. Let's make money off of those guys. Yeah,
2:14:56
how that workout Spotify? No. So I hope those 1000s of people
2:15:02
will get jobs elsewhere. Or if you're really into podcasting,
2:15:05
I'm sure you can do if you're willing to stick to take a step
2:15:08
back and build something over time. I'm not going hide hire
2:15:12
celebrities and no one cares about. I feel so much better now
2:15:16
with 10. Producers. There's this great article that runs through
2:15:22
all the the economics of it. And there were some they were
2:15:25
getting $100 CPM in 2018. Which is unheard of.
2:15:33
John C Dvorak: Well, Leo was getting $100 per CPM. Really?
2:15:38
Adam Curry: Yeah.
2:15:40
Unknown: Thoroughly
2:15:40
Adam Curry: on 2015 Maybe or even earlier than that. Well,
2:15:44
when are we for what was our first year, our first year was
2:15:46
2008 2007. Okay, where he was 1007,
2:15:50
John C Dvorak: he started. So it was in the 2008 2009 2010 era,
2:15:56
he was getting 100 CPE. So that
2:15:58
Adam Curry: just everyone knows what that means. That means
2:16:00
1000 $100 per 1000 people that are listening, but here's the
2:16:03
funny thing. It's not based on people who are listening, it's
2:16:07
based on downloads, and Apple just released iOS 17, which you
2:16:15
can't refuse the upgrade. It updates us like you don't own
2:16:18
your phone. Apple owns your phone. So they update you. And
2:16:22
now literally, the CEOs of these podcast networks are saying,
2:16:26
well, you know, our downloads are down because of Apple
2:16:29
changing the way they do it because Apple now doesn't
2:16:32
download stuff you're not listening to. So they're
2:16:35
admitting that they've had at least 15% fraudulent numbers.
2:16:39
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the whole thing are admitting to saying
2:16:42
your downloads aren't down. They were exaggerated.
2:16:47
Adam Curry: Yeah, exactly. So we never had to deal with that.
2:16:51
Now. What did that mean? We never got no Joe Rogan offers.
2:16:56
That was great English. We also don't have videos. No
2:16:59
John C Dvorak: Joe Rogan. And Texas and my mom just gonna talk
2:17:04
like this. From now on. I don't care what you think I love
2:17:07
Adam Curry: my truck. Is that guy? Where's that guy? I love my
2:17:11
truck. Where's that guy? I love my truck. And I love what I do.
2:17:16
And I love what I do exactly. And, incredibly, when we went to
2:17:24
what we coined as the value for value model, which means hey,
2:17:28
here's everything. It's all premium. It's all top notch.
2:17:31
We're not putting anything behind a paywall. There's no
2:17:33
levels, there's no tobacco secret room, secret room, this
2:17:38
is us. Take us how you want take whatever you want, do whatever
2:17:42
you want to do with us. Start your own thing on the side, the
2:17:46
key point to us do it all. All we ask us for time, talent,
2:17:49
treasure, whatever its value, whatever the value is, you get
2:17:52
out of it, you send it back. Whenever it's handy for you.
2:17:57
That's why we're still here. 16 years later, can't say that
2:18:01
about the top award winning put there were shows that weren't P
2:18:05
buddies, a Peabody Award at Spotify that are getting x now.
2:18:11
Yeah, yeah. And we also don't have a video of us sitting with
2:18:15
our headphones on Ooh, look at us. Cool. I gotta use that. You
2:18:18
know what? Cans cans you should I just do it like a pool. Boy
2:18:22
beanie would look good on you. That'd be hilarious. It would be
2:18:25
good. We should do one with video where you were one of
2:18:27
those beanies? Yeah, that would look great, man. Yeah. Okay,
2:18:33
well, we can do live video. We can do it on the modern podcast
2:18:36
apps. So instead it just value for value. Now. We have
2:18:40
phenomenal time, talent and treasure contributions. One that
2:18:44
has taken up a lot of time and a lot of talent and and has worked
2:18:48
successfully for over a decade is no agenda Art Generator,
2:18:53
which unfortunately, had some kind of critical error. And sort
2:19:04
of all or something deaths or Paul couture. I hope it comes
2:19:09
back because you know what's really rough about this? All we
2:19:12
do in the modern podcast apps, we have chapters and we have art
2:19:16
that goes with the chapters. They were all linked from the no
2:19:20
agenda, Art Generator. They're all broken. All of those images
2:19:25
are broken, except, you know, moving forward, we're going to
2:19:28
do it a different way.
2:19:30
John C Dvorak: Just use the main image. You can do that. No, but
2:19:35
I know what you mean. Yeah, it was. It was cool. Yeah. Well,
2:19:38
Adam Curry: it'll come back and and I have faith in Sir Paul
2:19:41
couture. I really do. And we have backups of the whole site.
2:19:45
So we can always bring back the images and the links are a new,
2:19:51
a new domain, but he still hasn't been able to fix it yet.
2:19:55
Expect the next generation launch sometime Saturday
2:19:58
afternoon, December 9 2020. 83 And he says you will have to
2:20:02
reset passwords as I am using a more modern salt and hash for
2:20:06
them. Whoo. He's going to salt and hash. Salt
2:20:10
John C Dvorak: and hash. Yeah, this guy's going out there.
2:20:15
That's why it's taking so long to do using salt and hashes.
2:20:17
Complicated
2:20:18
Adam Curry: isn't really know, I never heard of it. The next
2:20:21
generation or generator will be up, though Sunday.
2:20:25
Unfortunately, I do not have much time during the week. Okay,
2:20:27
sorry. You know what? I love his job. He's got a job. If it's not
2:20:32
up Sunday, we can wait Brother, don't worry about it. But that's
2:20:35
an excellent example. Got no agenda meetups.com. We have Mark
2:20:38
and Maria, who organized the meetup. I mean, all of these are
2:20:41
ways that you feed back into the system boots on the ground like
2:20:44
Craig, this is what makes the no agenda show unique. It is a
2:20:48
postmodern media model that that I don't think anybody has been
2:20:53
able to rival it. I wish more people did it. Of course, we
2:20:57
have many people within the no agenda nation who do it, it is
2:21:01
the only way forward. The only way for everything. I just you
2:21:07
can't monetize once once the network was open, and anybody
2:21:11
can you know, you don't you can't create artificial scarcity
2:21:16
of airtime. How many? How many ads do you want to run, you can
2:21:19
run them indefinitely. CPMs are a race to the bottom. Take it
2:21:24
from John and you'd like that. That's a sub stack for you right
2:21:29
there. So we'd like to thank the artists who helped us out for
2:21:34
episode 1613. And we titled that one fossil fools I was informed.
2:21:40
We have used that title previously. Somewhere in the
2:21:44
1100s Oh, I know. I
2:21:48
John C Dvorak: remember it. That's always just not supposed
2:21:51
to remember you're the one who is assigned them. Forever
2:21:57
memory. Well,
2:21:59
Adam Curry: and typically my memory does,
2:22:01
John C Dvorak: yes. Okay, so why Yeah, well, I see it.
2:22:06
Adam Curry: It's just, I'm disappointed in my in my own
2:22:11
failure in my hand on my own and let me see what it was agenda.
2:22:15
Let me see which one it was which episode 16 Oh, 1197 1197
2:22:22
which was 29 year was 2019. Ah,
2:22:27
John C Dvorak: it was only four years ago. I should have
2:22:29
Adam Curry: known I should have known now. The art which was
2:22:33
done by a sir dirty Jersey whore. We both liked it. It
2:22:37
didn't take long to choose this. A lot of people commented that
2:22:41
it looked very much like a 1980s album art from Germany. And I
2:22:49
think there's something to that actually. Okay. And, and well,
2:22:54
the
2:22:54
John C Dvorak: piece I liked the best was the one he did
2:22:59
Adam Curry: do it was that also him? Yeah, he did those two
2:23:01
pieces. Yeah, but that was it was too much. And wait,
2:23:04
John C Dvorak: I used it on the newsletter because I just know
2:23:07
what actually is too small for them.
2:23:10
Adam Curry: But what I was like the game of life, was that what
2:23:12
that was or whatever it is. You just liked it. I just liked it.
2:23:17
You just liked it. But also we'd look at
2:23:20
John C Dvorak: you like the one with a cold but no,
2:23:23
Adam Curry: no, no. Oh, yeah. The Yes. The clown with the
2:23:25
cold. Yeah, kinda. Yeah. Networks. Yeah, that was fossil
2:23:28
fuels. But we both agreed that no one knows what coal looks
2:23:31
like
2:23:32
John C Dvorak: anymore. So Exactly. No, but he
2:23:35
Adam Curry: wouldn't fly at all. We did not understand methane,
2:23:40
you Jame from Francisco. Scaramanga? We didn't get that
2:23:43
one.
2:23:44
John C Dvorak: Yeah. What's Thane? I don't know. I don't
2:23:46
know. I
2:23:47
Adam Curry: didn't know either stain. The Yeah, no great
2:23:50
question. From networks, but it didn't say great questions, that
2:23:56
great question mark. So there was just problems. And it's
2:24:00
tough. It's tough. It's this
2:24:02
John C Dvorak: really is we have to pick from those system. 10
2:24:05
loan pieces that
2:24:09
Adam Curry: yeah, that are not our regular 30 debts pulled
2:24:13
John C Dvorak: from the social Nanogen the social media, so not
2:24:17
going to be?
2:24:18
Adam Curry: Well, we appreciate your work so dirty Jersey hora,

2:24:23

2:27:06

2:27:12
a check. I guess that is a PhD graduate.
2:27:15
John C Dvorak: Is this a check? Noted?
2:27:20
Adam Curry: Yeah, I think so. Okay. Daniel Smith. Yep. He's on
2:27:23
the list as a graduate Yes. Correct.
2:27:27
John C Dvorak: He, yeah. Wait, now we have Kyle who came in
2:27:31
with another $1,000. And it was sent as a tribute to Michael
2:27:35
Daigle in a senti. A he had it was a very cryptic series of
2:27:43
notes that Kyle sent in. And he's without contributions. And
2:27:47
then he sent this thing in as a tribute to this guy with a photo
2:27:52
on his note and the whole thing and we're just, there was no
2:27:55
evidence that he wanted us to say anything more than that.
2:27:58
Adam Curry: Okay. Well, it's a tribute to Michael Degli
2:28:01
Innocenti. Do we want to put his name as the as the producer in
2:28:04
that case?
2:28:05
John C Dvorak: No, Kyle gets it.
2:28:07
Adam Curry: Okay. Excuse me. Anonymous controller. Franklin,
2:28:12
Indiana. I think I met him 34567. That's 34567 sends us
2:28:17
into knighthood. And we'd like to do a switcheroo and give it
2:28:19
to Dave The broke controller. I think this is this is from the
2:28:24
meetup. While Dave is tiny and broke. He hit us in the mouth
2:28:29
and it's always attempting to hit others in the mouth. Without
2:28:32
him. We'd never know this show existed yesterday. This is from
2:28:34
the controllers. He will be known as the unknown Knight
2:28:38
until he writes in and chooses a name JCD. You are the father
2:28:41
Dave never had. So can you please in your most fatherly
2:28:44
tone say I'm proud of you, kid.
2:28:47
John C Dvorak: I'm proud of you kid.
2:28:49
Adam Curry: It will give it will give it if I felt that even.
2:28:54
It'll give him the motivation. He needs to keep evangelizing
2:28:56
for the no agenda show and make disciples who he become who
2:29:00
become donors. Adam, pleasure meeting you and the keeper.
2:29:03
She's lovely. By the way. It was one of our human resources who
2:29:06
vomited all over the floor at the meetup. Oh, I didn't see
2:29:09
that. I missed it. I missed it good vomit. Bringing kids into a
2:29:13
bar wasn't already a questionable parenting decision.
2:29:16
One of them had to go puke and ruin it for everybody else.
2:29:19
Luckily, the no agenda unit was full of loving and kind people
2:29:22
who were understanding and sympathetic. The only jingle
2:29:24
we'd like to hear is JC DS Hot Pocket love from anonymous
2:29:29
controller and his wife
2:29:30
Unknown: had pockets.
2:29:33
Adam Curry: Okay, so this is for Dave The broke controller Dave,
2:29:37
the broke. I didn't hear about that at all. That's fine.
2:29:42

up on the schedule April 8 a meet up in Fredericksburg,
2:41:27
Texas. I recommend you not do this meetup. I recommend you do
2:41:32
not come this unless you have already unless you have lodging
2:41:37
and know where you're going to stay. It is going to be a
2:41:39
nightmare. I will not even be able to get to this location.
2:41:43
There's going to be over 100,000 people in Fredericksburg. It's a
2:41:48
bad idea is that there is
2:41:50
John C Dvorak: some background here. This is just condemned
2:41:52
condemnation.
2:41:53
Adam Curry: This is the big solar eclipse. Well, yes. Now
2:42:01
Ana, Texas, you
2:42:02
John C Dvorak: might want to go the solar eclipse last year. But
2:42:05
this
2:42:05
Adam Curry: is this is going to be the big one. This
2:42:07
Fredericksburg is right in the middle of the path. This is
2:42:09
where it's going to go dark. Dark for a total of 15 minutes,
2:42:14
who and the whole the world is coming to Fredericksburg. It's
2:42:18
going to be a horrible nightmare. So I'm not going to
2:42:23
be at this meetup. I won't even be able to get there from where
2:42:27
I live. So stop doing these smart ass things. People it's
2:42:32
not good for you. Do not do this. You know how many people's
2:42:36
Hey, man, what are you doing for the clips? I want to come stay
2:42:38
with you? No, no, I'm gonna have to stand outside with my with my
2:42:42
rifle. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because we know there's an empty plot
2:42:47
next to us. Do you get people camping on their lightened
2:42:49
fires?
2:42:50
John C Dvorak: I just have your duck the dog loose? Yeah.
2:42:55
Adam Curry: That could turn out perfectly. You know the trolls
2:42:57
like you just take your electric bike Nope. You have no idea that
2:42:59
will be the street will be one year electric bikes will be one
2:43:04
just may
2:43:05
John C Dvorak: Whatever happened to that that one wheeled piece
2:43:08
of crap that little scooter thing used to drive up and down
2:43:11
and in the apartment building and whatever happened to that?
2:43:14
Adam Curry: Oh, or the hoverboard? Yeah, I got rid of
2:43:17
it before it blew up. I thought it would be smarter. Those
2:43:19
things blow up. Now the batteries ignite in your house.
2:43:24
I guess you don't see those much anymore. It was two wheels by
2:43:27
the ways two wheels hoverboard wasn't one wheel. That's our no
2:43:31
agenda meetups go to no agenda meetups.com And just like Mark
2:43:34
and Maria who were very smart they never want to go through
2:43:37
the lockdown without a community ever again. That's why they
2:43:41
started it because they know connection is protection no
2:43:43
agenda meetup.com start when yourself go hang out with
2:43:55
Unknown: me triggered you will be buddy feels the same. It's
2:44:04
like
2:44:07
Adam Curry: just like a party. I I have two ISOs I wouldn't mind
2:44:13
trying to I suppose when I go my first you've been more winning
2:44:19
lately than I have so I feel like I should be subjugated here
2:44:22
we go
2:44:23
Unknown: trash takes itself out every single time.
2:44:27
Adam Curry: A little too long. I think a little too long. How
2:44:29
about this one? Democracy forever Dude, we get it kinda
2:44:36
like that one. I don't know what he said but democracy forever
2:44:40
Dude, we get it. He couldn't hear that really couldn't hear
2:44:43
okay,
2:44:43
Unknown: here we go. Democracy forever, dude. We did it.
2:44:46
Adam Curry: I could hear pretty well.
2:44:49
John C Dvorak: Okay, got two short ones. All right. One so
2:44:52
short has got a zero seconds maybe not even be on here.
2:44:56
Anyway, is easy.
2:44:58
Adam Curry: It's just that easy. That's just unintelligible was
2:45:02
mine.
2:45:03
John C Dvorak: There you go. There you go.
2:45:08
Adam Curry: I think there you go is probably the best of all of
2:45:10
them was the clearest. Yeah, that's, that usually is what
2:45:13
wins?
2:45:15
John C Dvorak: Yes. I love how people always able to send us
2:45:17
these things should note that
2:45:19
Adam Curry: if you can't hear it or it can't be more than two
2:45:21
seconds for two seconds is
2:45:23
John C Dvorak: the max to you? And also if it's just got music
2:45:27
behind it or it's muddy or it hasn't funny, and we're not
2:45:31
Adam Curry: we're not looking. We're not looking for people
2:45:33
saying in the morning. No. Hey, this guy said in the morning.
2:45:37
No, no, no, no, that's sad enough on that's not it. That's
2:45:42
not it.
2:45:43
John C Dvorak: I have a couple of clips that I've been sitting
2:45:45
on I want to play. Okay. Because nobody knows about this is not
2:45:50
being played by the mainstream media. No. Somehow I think this
2:45:54
is an OP. Ed, I think and I say one of our intelligence agencies
2:45:58
is doing it. It's called the White Paper movement in China.
2:46:03
Oh, what is
2:46:03
Unknown: this in an event right outside of the US Capitol this
2:46:06
evening, a group of Chinese dissidents and human rights
2:46:09
activists are trying to remind the world that the Chinese
2:46:12
Communist Party's grip on its people may not be as strong as
2:46:16
it seems. And that's clear not only from the people who are
2:46:19
commemorating the white paper movement today, but also with
2:46:22
the white paper movement itself. So just to take you back to
2:46:25
exactly how this all started. While around this time last
2:46:28
year, there were 10s of 1000s of Chinese people who took to the
2:46:31
streets holding up pieces of blank white paper in protest of
2:46:35
China's zero COVID policy, but not only in protest of that
2:46:38
policy, also calling for an end to the Chinese Communist Party
2:46:42
in the dictatorship,
2:46:44
what that would take to rest your life, in a regime like
2:46:47
that, to speak on behalf of truth and protest tyranny. I
2:46:51
think that should give us all who are lucky enough to live in
2:46:53
the free world, some courage to do whatever we can to protect
2:46:57
the freedoms we have.
2:46:58
Year after year, more and more Chinese people are standing up
2:47:01
to demand their basic human rights. Year after year, the
2:47:05
change is happening,
2:47:07
took it upon himself to read off a list of names of people who
2:47:10
were actually involved in the white paper protest movement who
2:47:14
are still being detained in China today, I also got a chance
2:47:18
to catch up with lawmakers about the commemoration of this white
2:47:21
paper Freedom Movement. And they said this is something that
2:47:24
should be encouraged because it is a beacon of hope. So
2:47:28
it's actually a little glimmer of hope that that's still the
2:47:31
China's stronghold on his people is not as strong as they think
2:47:34
it is. And
2:47:35
Adam Curry: encourage them to continue with that for the cause
2:47:37
of freedom around the world is to acknowledge their sacrifice,
2:47:42
and and applaud their sacrifice. And think it's important to
2:47:46
continue to do that. And this has to happen organically within
2:47:50
the country. Where I'm at so the Charlie's only vaguely my ass so
2:47:55
they're holding up white pieces of paper. Yeah. Isn't that just
2:47:59
shouldn't people be making memes out of that? Writing?
2:48:03
John C Dvorak: This whole thing has been repressed in terms of
2:48:05
our mainstream coverage. Interesting. So but I mean, I
2:48:10
wish I think it makes it not work. Or somebody told I don't
2:48:13
know I have. I think there's an OP involved here. But I don't
2:48:16
understand why this hasn't been picked up is already a year old
2:48:19
is movement. And it's discussed as such the white paper
2:48:24
movement. You never heard of it. I never heard of it. No, I
2:48:26
haven't. I think this is a part two to this.
2:48:30
Unknown: Yes, there is. And this comes at a time when there's a
2:48:32
new undiagnosed pneumonia breaking out in China and sprite
2:48:36
is in hospitalizations to spike. Now this is raising concern
2:48:40
among lawmakers here in Washington DC many of those whom
2:48:43
I spoke to said that they're very concerned about the issue
2:48:45
of transparency in the data coming out from China saying
2:48:49
that they don't even know how serious this pneumonia is
2:48:51
because China recently covered up the COVID 19 pandemic which
2:48:56
caused millions of deaths around the world. Okay,
2:48:59
Adam Curry: well, interesting. This may coincide with I have
2:49:02
two clips. What's going on in the UK as everything now all
2:49:08
deaths, everything is being blamed on Boris Johnson. You'll
2:49:12
recall that they had parties they had parties.
2:49:16
John C Dvorak: We had a clip the other what was the clip do Yeah,
2:49:18
he's the one who screwed up to Ukraine thing he went
2:49:22
Adam Curry: he'd been blamed for everything. Yeah. And it fall
2:49:25
guy and so now they have these inquiries because they had the
2:49:28
WhatsApp messages. And you know, supposedly Boris Johnson said,
2:49:33
you know, we're not locking down the economy Let The Bodies pile
2:49:37
up. Hi, let 80 year olds die. So this is what's now in the in the
2:49:41
British press mid
2:49:43
Unknown: March 2020 When most European countries were under
2:49:46
lockdown to stop the spread of COVID. In the UK, it was almost
2:49:51
business as usual. It's only on March 23 that former Prime
2:49:56
Minister Boris Johnson announced the first lockdown Oh,
2:50:00
you must stay at home. former
2:50:03
officials told the inquiry into the handling of COVID that
2:50:07
taking the decision so late likely cost lives.
2:50:11
I want to take this opportunity, if I may, my lady to apologize
2:50:16
to the victims who endured so much pain the families who
2:50:22
endured so much loss as a result of the mistakes that were made
2:50:27
by government.
2:50:28
Boris Johnson allegedly put the economy first sacrificing
2:50:33
vulnerable people he's accused of saying this to his advisers.
2:50:38
Did
2:50:38
you see them say like the bodies piled high in their 1000s or
2:50:41
it's only killing 80 year olds.
2:50:45
There's been a few different versions of this, these stories
2:50:48
knocking around. And you hear that? I heard that in Prime
2:50:52
Minister study.
2:50:54
former officials have told the inquiry that Johnson often
2:50:58
changed his mind and struggled to understand the science behind
2:51:02
the pandemic,
2:51:05
in saying that the Prime Minister at the time gave up
2:51:07
science when he was 15. And I think he'd be the first to admit
2:51:11
it wasn't his forte, and that he did struggle with some of the
2:51:15
concepts and we didn't need to repeat them often.
2:51:19
Adam Curry: Here's what's interesting.
2:51:21
John C Dvorak: Well hold on a second. This is sounds like bull
2:51:25
crap to me. Well, they
2:51:27
Adam Curry: have they have the WhatsApp messages. That's the
2:51:30
problem. Yeah.
2:51:33
John C Dvorak: I guess those can't be phony it up.
2:51:36
Adam Curry: No, no, I think it's the I think it's the real decay.
2:51:39
Well,
2:51:39
John C Dvorak: he hasn't denied it.
2:51:40
Adam Curry: But here you go. Well, he is kind of, you know
2:51:43
what? Anybody could have said that it doesn't matter. He's
2:51:47
He's the fall guy. But what's interesting is the hoity toity
2:51:51
Brit, the journalist, the news agents, UK, these are famous
2:51:57
journalist, they do the podcast and news agents. It is a very
2:52:00
successful podcast is financially successful. So
2:52:03
that's amazing by itself. So they're talking about this, and
2:52:07
then they reluctantly give Trump a compliment.
2:52:11
Unknown: He missed quite a lot of the detail
2:52:13
of how serious it was okay to do something I've very rarely done
2:52:15
before, which is to talk about the smooth good governance of
2:52:19
Donald Trump's administration at the same time, but it was the
2:52:21
31st of January, that they banned flights from China into
2:52:26
the US because they were so alarmed. COVID coming in, we
2:52:29
just racist at the time. Oh, another one of them. Exactly.
2:52:35
You thought that Trump was trying to kind of re litigate
2:52:37
the trade battle with China in different ways. And this was
2:52:41
John C Dvorak: China banned.
2:52:43
Unknown: Exactly. But there you were, at the end of January in
2:52:46
Washington, DC, with Trump announcing no more flights in
2:52:50
from China. And Boris Johnson is say, way into February Oh, we
2:52:54
didn't really realize how in Washington, I think they did
2:52:57
realize that it was pretty serious early on.
2:53:00
Adam Curry: And what's so unbelievable, is how Cavalier
2:53:04
they are now about their own reporting at the time, because
2:53:08
that's all you heard. The ACLU came out and said Trump was
2:53:13
racist against Asians. Yep. And the and I don't even know if
2:53:18
they had this. I don't think they had this podcast out. But
2:53:20
the certainly the companies they worked for at the time, they
2:53:23
were all like Trump's a racist, horrible, and now they can't,
2:53:27
oh, I'm gonna do something I don't do. I'm gonna say Trump
2:53:30
had a good handle on it. Because at the time, we just thought,
2:53:32
Oh, he's being racist. That means as a journalist, you suck.
2:53:36
You suck. It's unreal. Anyway, what time is it? Oh, it's time.
2:53:45
When do we want it? Now? We want some good news before we leave
2:53:49
the show. All right, I
2:53:51
John C Dvorak: gotta say this is a this is the Idaho clip. And
2:53:54
this is one of those local clips that goes on five, six minutes
2:54:00
of good news. They give me some woman some some love. And all I
2:54:06
need is just I just all I have here is the setup. I cut the
2:54:09
rest out where they actually go knock on her door, and they give
2:54:11
her those these awards, because the setup itself is good enough.
2:54:16
And it's good news II enough and it's one of those local things
2:54:19
that could have been cut if it was national news to be a minute
2:54:22
and a half instead as five, six minutes. So here we go. Merry
2:54:25
Unknown: Christmas, everybody. We are in the sweetest city in
2:54:28
Idaho. So they say sugar city. I'm Nate Eaton with Robert Peggy
2:54:32
and Jordan. We're about to surprise one of the sweetest
2:54:35
ladies who lives here. Her name is Martha. She has been widowed
2:54:38
for two decades she worked hard labor jobs like potato
2:54:42
warehouses, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty when it
2:54:45
comes to working. She makes tortillas and other food
2:54:47
offerings for her neighbors. She's constantly making new
2:54:50
friends last year without any prompting or recognition. She
2:54:54
needed many cute owl beanies and donated several large boxes to
2:54:58
Primary Children's Hospital in New Utah. She lives alone, but
2:55:02
she never loses her spirit of friendship, compassion or
2:55:05
getting? Well, Martha has had a broken toilet for quite some
2:55:09
time. She hasn't been able to afford to get it fixed and
2:55:12
Secret Santa asked if we could come and make sure that toilet
2:55:15
gets fixed. He's paying for a plumber to fix the problem and
2:55:19
get her a new toilet if she needs it. He's also giving her
2:55:21
groceries for quite a bit $2,000 to the grocery store. And we
2:55:25
have $5,000 from Secret Santa just to let her know that she's
2:55:29
loved. I think we should go surprise her. Ah,
2:55:33
Adam Curry: no, that was beautiful. News. Everyone knows.
2:55:39
Yes. Thank you. You know what people are loving this segment,
2:55:42
John.
2:55:43
John C Dvorak: It's true. So you know where I'm getting. I'm
2:55:45
starting to get these now from Mimi.
2:55:48
Adam Curry: Oh, she is she's a good news, lady, isn't she?
2:55:51
She's
2:55:51
John C Dvorak: a good news lady. And she went and she's digging
2:55:53
up these good news stories. Oh,
2:55:56
Adam Curry: people like this stuff.
2:56:00
John C Dvorak: Got plenty backed up already. I got the dog in the
2:56:04
tree story coming up.
2:56:06
Adam Curry: That'll have to wait until Sunday. I know. Everyone's
2:56:09
you're pining for it. Please. Hold off. It'll be it'll be here
2:56:12
on Sunday the dog in the tree story. That is it. We will
2:56:16
return on Sunday with more media deconstruction just for you. I
2:56:19
think we gave you your money's worth, which for many of you is
2:56:23
nothing. So Thanks for Thanks for that. Coming to you from the
2:56:28
heart of the Texas Hill Country. In the morning, everybody. I'm
2:56:31
Adam curry and
2:56:32
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain
2:56:35
I'm John C. Dvorak.
2:56:36
Adam Curry: Next. I know agenda stream troll room.io. The modern
2:56:40
podcast app you're using. Oh, look at that. DHH unplugged.
2:56:44
It's the most recent episode from Tuesday titled too many
2:56:47
bowls. And I love my crocs. Remember us at the vorak.org/na
2:56:52
no agenda donations.com And till Sunday, adios mofos are who we
2:56:57
are, and such.
2:57:02
John C Dvorak: To get Henry Kissinger that Henry Kissinger
2:57:05
was he's the worst miss. He's the worst famous guy but he's
2:57:08
the worst. He killed millions. And he's a war criminal. Yes. He
2:57:17
was this.
2:57:20
Unknown: He has been involved in some of the most reprehensible
2:57:23
policies on the part of the United States, the assassination
2:57:28
of the President of Chile, a Lendy. And the support for a
2:57:32
brutal, murderous dictatorial regime the extending needlessly
2:57:38
of the Vietnam War, falsely claiming in 1972, that piece was
2:57:43
at hand supporting a murderous dictatorship in Pakistan, as
2:57:48
well as other dictators around the world. Few
2:57:51
people have had a hand in so much death and destruction in
2:57:55
different parts of the world than Henry Kissinger three in
2:57:58
particular suggests that Henry Kissinger could have been
2:58:02
accused of war crimes one is Cambodia the other is Pakistan
2:58:06
and the other is East Timor.
2:58:08
John C Dvorak: A war criminal what he would do it wouldn't do
2:58:12
it. It he's specifically do Do you know, because I tried to
2:58:14
look inside do
2:58:15
Adam Curry: I do he died while being Jewish?
2:58:29
We need we need another Jew to blame. I don't think so. This is
2:58:35
Hillary Clinton even know where she's walking. And there's
2:58:38
protesters. They are the Palestinian flags
2:58:41
Unknown: bloody Hillary do exist. It

2:59:46

2:59:49

2:59:51
our own southern border
2:59:59
