0:03
Devora.
0:04

0:07
combination media assassination episode 1634. This
0:11
Unknown: is no agenda, ready
0:14
Adam Curry: to serve and broadcasting live from the heart
0:17
of the Texas little country here. Reason number six, eight
0:20
in the morning, everybody.
0:21
John C Dvorak: I'm Adam curry from Northern Silicon Valley,
0:25
where we've noticed a lot of people with kind of smudges on
0:28
their forehead. What's going on? I'm Jhansi Dvorak
0:32
Adam Curry: scale. Well, you as the lapsed Catholic of all
0:37
people would know exactly what's going on.
0:40
John C Dvorak: I know exactly what's going on. Yeah. It's a
0:42
very weird form of virtue signaling.
0:47
Adam Curry: It's Lensbaby. It's Lent.
0:50
John C Dvorak: So yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Yes. And the most
0:54
religious of the Catholics get some smudge put on their
0:58
forehead as a part of of ceremony. Isn't
1:00
Adam Curry: it across? Isn't it the ash cross?
1:03
John C Dvorak: If kinda but if you take a look at what Laura
1:05
Frau Ingraham had on hers, it was just a big thumbprint. Yeah,
1:13
Adam Curry: that's what they're into. Man. That's cool.
1:16
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, if it wasn't for the fact that they
1:18
shouldn't be worshipping an anti Pope, but okay. I'll let that
1:22
slide.
1:24
Adam Curry: Well, it goes along perfectly with Taylor Swift's
1:27
friend I spice.
1:30
John C Dvorak: Did you see that? Oh, tell me about this. I have
1:32
no idea. I don't keep up with this sort of gossip. Oh, man.
1:35
Adam Curry: I pray for Taylor Swift everybody. She is
1:38
surrounded by the devil. Oh, I can't believe you missed it.
1:42
They
1:44
John C Dvorak: you can't know really. You can't believe I
1:46
missed the Taylor Swift to update
1:49
Adam Curry: didn't use did where you're not watching the game.
1:51
They cut away to Taylor Swift and she's got this. She's got
1:55
this friend who I've never heard of this woman ice spice. I guess
1:59
one of the upside down evil Spice Girls is not a Spice Girl
2:04
but ice spice. And, and she sees herself on the big screen that
2:08
all of a sudden starts doing devil horns with their hands.
2:12
But she has her her thumb and her two middle fingers together.
2:16
So it looks exactly like a devil's head. And she's going
2:19
hey, I mean, that is CBS should be ashamed of themselves. I
2:27
mean, they they should have taken that out. They should have
2:30
cut it out. That was bad.
2:34
Unknown: It was real bad. It was I missed
2:35
John C Dvorak: it. I actually didn't watch much of the game.
2:38
Oh, I
2:39
Adam Curry: watched all of it up until
2:44
John C Dvorak: the end. The end. The only good part?
2:46
Adam Curry: Yeah. It was kind of the good part. The end, man.
2:51
Well, we weren't right. I certainly wasn't right about
2:54
what happened. It was a good game, though. Why didn't you
2:57
watch
2:57
John C Dvorak: our thinking back on it thinking back on it. We
3:00
have to reevaluate the decision, especially yours that you make
3:04
because you're pretty good at this and you miss it completely.
3:06
I did. Well, I mean, it's one or the other is binary. So you're
3:08
going to miss her you're not going to miss it. I think that
3:11
what we overlook was the fact that this was this Taylor Swift
3:16
gimmick for the NFL had to be rewarded at the end for doing a
3:21
good job. pat on the back. Yeah. And so they had two wins to get
3:26
now the opposite over she's gonna go off and do whatever she
3:30
does. And everybody's happy it's up to 40 Niners
3:34
Adam Curry: I'm not so sure the opposite over and first before
3:36
we even get to that I want to say that they were so smug and
3:42
happy that I got it wrong that they had to shove it in my face
3:45
with a touchdown pass mahomes is up to 333 yards. Why is that
3:50
significant? The stadium's address is 3333 out Davis way
3:56
he's never lost in this building. And they win it by
4:00
free on this touchdown throw
4:10
John C Dvorak: that got me 333333 There are so many threes
4:14
involved there at the very end they got me they got mad winning
4:17
by three the whole thing
4:19
Adam Curry: but you tweeted something out. You slashed an X
4:22
about Travis Kelce
4:24
John C Dvorak: he's miserable is slashed. Now is that what you're
4:27
calling? I
4:27
Adam Curry: made that up myself?
4:28
John C Dvorak: You slash No, because I heard it earlier. Oh,
4:31
because I made it up but that's why I heard it. I heard it in
4:33
the pre show you made it you slot
4:35
Adam Curry: you slash annex. They should take that from me.
4:38
It's a good idea. So they should
4:39
John C Dvorak: take it from you that way. They didn't take all
4:42
our other jingles but go on. Okay, what did i What did I
4:45
scare?
4:46
Adam Curry: You slashed about Travis Kelce. He's a movie that
4:53
he's producing, which is a climate change movie like this
4:56
guy. Like this guy is going to produce anything okay. All
5:00
right.
5:03
John C Dvorak: Pretty big these the big producer the new climate
5:05
change movie, but
5:06
Adam Curry: this is the OP data
5:08
Unknown: Swiss private jet travelers making headlines.
5:11
She's been accused of generating 130 tons of co2 in three months,
5:15
equivalent to 12,622 gallons of jet fuel. Sustainability
5:21
marketing firm yard found that swift and 2022 a loon released
5:25
1000 tons of co2 using her private jet. The emissions match
5:30
those of more than 1000 homes in the same year, as swift
5:34
spokesperson rejected the numbers as blatantly inaccurate
5:37
and says the singer hopes to shake it off through carbon
5:41
offsets and all carbon
5:43
Adam Curry: offsets carbon credits. carbon credits
5:48
John C Dvorak: the use of the term shake it off well,
5:50
Adam Curry: yeah, I know you that made you step on the carbon
5:52
credits bit? Well, it's
5:54
John C Dvorak: beside the point I you know, these kinds of joke
5:58
reporting is getting on my nerves.
6:04
Adam Curry: Well, I think unfortunately for Taylor and
6:07
Travis, it's all downhill from here. You Watch This is what the
6:11
media does. I'm already seeing the photo. She looks unhappy and
6:16
then questioning the hug. Was the hug a real love? Oh, you
6:21
didn't hear the questioning the hug? No,
6:23
John C Dvorak: I? Okay. That's good. Go to a quick premise
6:26
here. Okay. I have not followed any of these things that you're
6:30
reporting on. And by the way, if you were not following them, and
6:33
I was reporting on them, you'd be giving me grief at this point
6:38
to an extreme and I'm not gonna give you any grief. And this
6:41
what I'm doing right now is not grief. Okay. Well, then I'm I
6:44
want to know, you really want to know, well, I might as well
6:47
since you know, and you're gonna I don't want you to have the
6:49
upper hand. I thought
6:51
Unknown: it was I don't know if you saw the very end but a
6:53
really, really moving scene. When Kelsey really moved
6:58
John C Dvorak: I was moved to know you misinterpreted he said
7:02
really, really,
7:03
Adam Curry: really moving.
7:04
Unknown: So moving swift met up on the field afterwards really
7:07
beautiful. I thought I could have
7:09
done without, without his rendition of Viva Las Vegas. It
7:14
was very Yes, very clearly, you know, the for those who are
7:17
cynical, for those who would say think that this is just another
7:20
product of Taylor's Miss Taylor Swift's plan for world
7:23
domination that she sees this as she's has a very colorful dating
7:28
history and, and she's, she's, he's obviously a superhero.
7:32
There are those who are cynical, I say, the love play here. And I
7:37
will say this to public, the love on display, it feels very
7:40
real. And I will say whether you are a cynic or whether you
7:42
believe in the romantic side of this, the prospects of the
7:45
Kansas City Chiefs now teed up for the three P's. Anybody who's
7:50
a hater of Taylor Swift is going to be dealing with this for I
7:53
know your baby, we it's going to be Kelsey Swift. For a year
7:58
until next year,
8:00
I just want to thank at the very end John has inspired me I
8:02
wanted to thank President Biden for for the SIOP, just an
8:07
amazing rigs coordination with Pfizer this was an all time
8:16
curve, a masterful masterful saya by President vibe really?
8:22
Adam Curry: Well, okay. What hurt me would really hurt me
8:27
deeply because I knew him is private. No, I'm going to get it
8:33
I'm gonna get to my payoff in a moment is Pfizer's blatant abuse
8:39
of Freddie Mercury and Queen's song for their ad about science.
8:45
Yeah, that's horrible.
8:47
John C Dvorak: I haven't read anything about this either.
8:49
Adam Curry: Oh, they had a commercial build. And it was a
8:52
I'm gonna be a superstar student foetida that's all and that it's
8:57
just horrible. You know, Freddie's dead and then everyone
9:00
else gets the right.
9:02
John C Dvorak: Don't you think that's appropriate?
9:05
Adam Curry: Appropriate for what? That he's dead. Pfizer's
9:08
John C Dvorak: shot Freddy's Dead. Trying to give a message.
9:16
Adam Curry: It's a message people and that so they're going
9:18
after cancer next. Yeah. Yeah. What is what is the TAM Pfizer?
9:25
What's your total addressable market? You may have created
9:28
Good job. Good job. But that was nothing. Everything was
9:33
overshadowed and stopped dead in its tracks. We don't have to
9:37
talk about the President being seen now. We don't have to talk
9:39
about Tucker Carl's interview with Vladimir Putin. No, because
9:43
we've got space wars. Breaking news Russian nukes in space
9:50
nukes in space, everybody.
9:53
Unknown: Multiple sources
9:54
are telling CNN tonight that the US has new intelligence on
9:57
Russia's efforts to deploy a nuclear and by satellite system
10:01
in space, this actually comes after the House Intelligence
10:05
Committee Chair Mike Turner today raised the alarm. He
10:07
announced he's made information concerning a quote, serious
10:11
national security threat available to all members of
10:14
Congress to review. Now, keep in mind if nukes were launched the
10:17
US from space, they wouldn't be undetectable. And this news
10:20
gives ominous context to the fact that one of Putin's
10:23
mouthpieces floated this very idea on Russian state television
10:26
nine months ago, as found by Russian media analyst Julia
10:29
Davis.
10:34
I think it's time to turn up the humans. We understand that all
10:38
drones and everything else work for Americans only. Well,
10:41
Starlink exists. If we carefully launch our nukes in space, there
10:46
will be no Starlink left.
10:49
Adam Curry: So this is
10:50
John C Dvorak: all on Yes. Get ready for this. mercs in space.
10:58
Adam Curry: Thank you. Now we got that one. Yes. So this this
11:01
is obviously intended to get everyone talking about nukes and
11:05
space and forget everything else you've ever heard about the
11:09
President about what's going on? Please, nobody. Look at Jon
11:12
Stewart's to side ism. Oh my god. He's getting so burned.
11:18
John Stuart comes back to The Daily Show.
11:20
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I watched the entire episode. I watched it
11:22
as well. For I didn't think it was that different than anything
11:26
he did in the past. I thought it was oh, exactly. It was but he
11:29
was about to get a quick review. All right, reserved for the
11:33
stupid beard. It's got which makes him look like like a
11:37
drunk. It was I think he brought back the old team of writers.
11:44
Yes, it was it was classic. It was exists structured just like
11:48
nine years ago. It's kind of old fashioned in that regard. It was
11:52
much better than what he was trying to do on Apple. And and
11:56
obviously better than his movie career. And it was done well and
12:01
it had everything going on. It ran over time. For some reason.
12:04
I can't figure that part out. But But what happened interview
12:08
the interview with Beddoes that woman and but it was it was a
12:14
classic. I would say if he if he dropped the last nine years and
12:18
put him right back on the air and shaved him maybe dyed his
12:20
hair. You wouldn't know that that anything changed. All
12:23
right.
12:23
Adam Curry: So what changed of course, is the audience and
12:29
there's a subtle psychological message in The Daily Show. I
12:33
don't know if you saw it. The Daily Show is now using an
12:38
acronym in their logo. Did you see the acronym?
12:43
John C Dvorak: For the good not for
12:44
Adam Curry: The Daily Show? It's the logo. T d S? Yeah, Trump
12:50
derangement syndrome. It's obvious. It's funny and and the
12:56
catch and the X is full of. I don't like Jon Stewart's to sad
13:02
isn't. That's not Cuming, Nooyi. Good, good.
13:06
John C Dvorak: Well, we're now where do you know where you're
13:08
getting this from? That I that's what everyone's views my trades.
13:11
No, no, no,
13:13
Adam Curry: I'm not the trades. I'm talking about the TDS key
13:16
did not slam Trump hard enough. You know, he's in a pretty good
13:20
No, because it was to scientism he also slammed Biden. That's a
13:25
no, no. The audience has changed. John Stuart doesn't
13:29
realize this. People hate him now. It and by the way, we both
13:35
know that he's secretly conservative. We've talked about
13:39
this for years.
13:42
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. The easy, the easy, the secret old
13:45
fashioned conservative. Yeah, he's not a Trump guy, that's for
13:48
sure. But no,
13:50
Adam Curry: no, but he's a conservative and he was slamming
13:52
on Biden, you can't slam on Biden when the message is the
13:56
President is sharp.
13:59
Unknown: Gets sharp enough.
14:02
Adam Curry: It was good. It was a good little super cut. But
14:05
forget about that back to nukes in
14:07
Unknown: space yet care of what we're being told at this hour.
14:10
Two sources confirmed to ABC News that the deliberations on
14:13
Capitol Hill have to do with nuclear weapons in space. Russia
14:18
wanting to do that. This is not to drop a nuclear weapon, but
14:22
rather to possibly use it against satellites. We have one
14:25
person telling us it is very concerning. Very sensitive. This
14:29
is a big deal. It's not
14:31
Adam Curry: a big deal. This has been known for years. Even
14:34
speaker the house Johnson comes out and says this is not a big
14:37
deal. What are y'all talking about? Mike Johnson Get it
14:40
together brother. This is about covering everything up. We've
14:43
got to have a new new new thing to talk about that was ABC yet
14:47
no, that's what it is. There's nothing
14:49
John C Dvorak: another there's another element that you're kind
14:51
of overlooking
14:51
Adam Curry: nominally You mean the space race.
14:54
John C Dvorak: Now the fact that we're at this camp where did
14:57
this even began? It began out of the guys they Head of the
15:00
Intelligence Committee, he's the one who made the announcement
15:03
say on it should all be. It's all part of getting more money
15:06
to Ukraine. I'm
15:07
Adam Curry: completely, you jumped ahead of my analysis, but
15:11
that's okay. I'll skip all the,
15:13
John C Dvorak: you know, if you'd speed it up, it would
15:14
help.
15:15
Adam Curry: Let's go to France 24.
15:16
Unknown: This all starts as early on Wednesday, when the
15:18
House Intelligence Committee Chairman, tweeted, warning of,
15:22
quote, serious national security threats. Now, that Intel It was
15:26
then found out what had been made available to Congress,
15:28
people in Congress to look over in a highly compartmentalized
15:32
and secure facility. It is highly Compartmented
15:35
Information, and more details emerge later ultimately,
15:39
centered around a space based nuclear weapon designed by
15:43
Russia, which is meant to target satellites in space. Now, those
15:47
are satellites that could be used for civilian communication,
15:49
but also military communication, and military surveillance as
15:53
well. Now, so far, the United States has no countermeasure for
15:56
this kind of weapon. And it was in total, no sensitive and so
16:00
important that it was shared with international allies as
16:04
well. Now, it must be said this has been stressed by numerous
16:07
people, numerous sources, thus, it is not an immediate threat.
16:11
This is not something that's been launched, but it is
16:13
something that Russia is looking into. And I've had it confirmed
16:15
to me by numerous sources as well that this reporting is
16:19
accurate, and also that the sources have known about this
16:22
for quite some time. Congressman Milton, who is also on the
16:26
Intelligence Committee says to CNN that he'd known about this
16:29
intelligence for two years now he was saying that's Congressman
16:33
Turner, the person who leaked this information. So because he
16:37
was offended that the Biden administration hadn't told him
16:40
personally about it sooner. So some politics also coming in to
16:44
Social Security here in Washington. I
16:46
Adam Curry: am in total agreement with you. This is all
16:48
about funding, they need money, because hey, I mean, we need
16:51
money we just meet and I will prove that after we get to be
16:56
what will
16:57
John C Dvorak: be for you go on. Let me say something about that
17:00
clip. That guy who is this guy on press 24 He's he one thing he
17:06
gives himself away as a Rube by saying the word instead of
17:10
saying, Come, come, I can't even now I can't even send myself. He
17:14
says come
17:16
Adam Curry: part mented the human compartmentalised. Yeah,
17:20
and but
17:21
John C Dvorak: he said I believe he said it twice because I don't
17:23
think he knows the frog.
17:27
Adam Curry: Come on. Come on. English as a second language,
17:31
give the guy a break. Now I think there's a subtext here.
17:34
The subtext is let's SIOP everybody again, why did we
17:39
start our initial our race to the moon? Because the Russians
17:43
had Sputnik? Am I correct? I mean, I was barely alive. But
17:48
the Russians had Sputnik they were putting monkeys in space.
17:52
And now all sudden, they've got Oh, no, they're going to put
17:55
nukes in space. Well, well, well, what are we going to do?
17:58
It
17:58
Unknown: could be history in the making a private mission to the
18:01
moon has blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape
18:04
Canaveral in Florida. 321 ignition, and with American
18:12
aerospace company, intuitive machines launched it.
18:15
Adam Curry: I gotta stop this for a second. That was an
18:18
unAmerican countdown. That was the most effeminate countdown
18:22
I've ever heard. This is not what we want from our space
18:25
stuff. We want three to one, lift off instead of three to
18:32
one, lift off everybody
18:33
John C Dvorak: again, three to one, ignition. And notice that
18:41
the first time or you're writing
18:44
Unknown: on American people, American aerospace company,
18:47
intuitive machines launched its Odysseus lander on a rocket made
18:52
by Elon Musk's SpaceX company. It's trying to become the first
18:56
commercial spacecraft to successfully land on the lunar
18:59
surface. The launch was originally planned for
19:01
Wednesday, but it was postponed due to a technical glitch.
19:05
Everything went according to plan. And if the landing also
19:10
goes well, Odysseus will search for water on the moon and what
19:13
some are calling a second space race.
19:16
Adam Curry: A second space race. There it is second space race.
19:21
So how cynical can you get on Super Bowl Sunday when everybody
19:26
is looking at Taylor Swift and her devilish friends. Senate
19:31
gets together on a Sunday. They're not going to Well, we
19:34
went they take they take vacation. They take off for
19:37
anything. They take snow days. Oh, it's snowing. We can't go.
19:42
They decided it was we're not going to watch the Super Bowl.
19:45
We're not going to honor Taylor and Travis. Instead we're going
19:50
to sit there and we're going to pass a bill of $95 billion for
19:54
everything including Taiwan. But nothing for the border or we're
19:59
just going to put This together because we need the money.
20:02
Unknown: So this package used to be connected to border security,
20:06
which failed. What are the conversations in the White House
20:10
about exactly what these House Republicans want? Because if you
20:14
look at any of these packages on the face of it, it usually is
20:18
something that they would want. Yeah,
20:21
it's I wish I could answer that question. But what we can't I
20:24
mean, they said they wouldn't approve a penny for Ukraine
20:27
unless the border was tied into it. So we said, Okay. And we
20:31
participated and help with the the negotiations that are
20:34
largely done on the Senate side to get that done. And now they
20:36
say, Well, no, can't can't do it. Because, you know, for
20:41
whatever reason for whatever leadership reasons they have for
20:43
that. So it's difficult to know exactly where they are mean,
20:46
though the speaker has been twisting himself into pretzel
20:48
notch here, in terms of what he's willing to justify on any
20:51
given day. We need this funding, Kirby he the funding for the
20:55
volume, you stepped on it again, listen, yes, he's willing to
20:58
justify on any given day, we need this funding, we need the
21:02
funding for the border to but we need this funding for our
21:04
national security with Ukraine, with humanitarian assistance,
21:08
and certainly, as you rightly said, in the Indo Pacific, I
21:11
mean, these aren't, these aren't just a wishes. I mean, this is
21:14
this is actual urgent funding that's required for our own
21:17
national security. We need this
21:19
Adam Curry: funding.
21:20
John C Dvorak: What is he got a somebody have a gun to his head?
21:22
What is he blabbering on like a maniac like this?
21:25
Adam Curry: That's probably not far from the truth? Yes. Yes.
21:28
The Military Industrial Complex just wants more. They don't
21:33
care.
21:34
John C Dvorak: They don't see the writing on the wall. They
21:36
don't get thrown. They figure they're, that's they figure
21:39
that's it. Let's get as much as we can while we can. And what's
21:44
the what's the I'm one of these that Sam, one of these guys
21:48
wishes. A lot of them are women, by the way, including the head
21:51
of Lockheed. It goes like what are you guys waiting for? You
21:56
know what's going on? You know what's going to happen? Get the
21:59
job done? Yep.
22:02
Adam Curry: I have some proof that this is all about Trump.
22:04
Remember, we have this huge NATO exercise. I got my NATO clip.
22:09
Everybody's all I got to do and I want to hear you. It didn't
22:14
John C Dvorak: take jack for him to get everyone all worked up
22:17
about
22:17
Unknown: doing. Brilliant Western
22:19
leaders have criticized Donald Trump for saying he would not
22:22
protect NATO allies who are not spending enough on defense from
22:26
Russian attacks. The Republican frontrunner Trump said he had
22:30
previously told NATO states, he would encourage Russia to do
22:33
whatever they want. If they didn't fulfill their commitments
22:37
to the bloc. Trump has regularly lashed out at members of the
22:41
line out for failing to Spanish notchback percent of the
22:44
economic output on defense. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says any
22:50
suggestion that allies would not defend each other undermines
22:54
Western security.
22:55
Adam Curry: Now this is interesting. This is that was a
22:58
report from I think it was Deutsche Bella, but then listen
23:03
to this report. And what Stoltenberg actually said video
23:07
released by Ukraine Oh yeah, by the way, drones are back water
23:11
drones. The water drones.
23:13
Unknown: She was a naval drone homing in on the Russian ship
23:16
off the coast of Crimea. flashes and plumes of smoke can then be
23:20
seen. Final shots appear to show the Cesar Krunic of beginning to
23:25
sink. This was the ship sailing through the Istanbul Strait in
23:30
2020. It can carry up to 90 crew and is designed for beach
23:35
landings. No official coming from Moscow so far, but normally
23:39
reliable social media channels and intercepted radio.
23:43
Adam Curry: I love their reporting normally reliable,
23:45
normally reliable social media channels. This is This is top
23:50
notch people
23:51
Unknown: but normally reliable social media channels and
23:54
intercepted radio traffic seemed to confirm the attack would be
23:59
another serious blow to Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine has
24:02
successfully targeted its ships and harbors defeating Russian
24:06
attempts to impose a blockade on its grain exports. All right now
24:10
let's try to trump the news was hailed as a victory by NATO.
24:14
Ukrainians
24:15
have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea
24:20
Fleet. By
24:21
Adam Curry: the way, I love the fact that NATO comes out and
24:23
says hey, this is great. We're not in this war or anything.
24:26
They're not a NATO member, but it's great. It's doing great I
24:29
find
24:29
John C Dvorak: it deplorable that they would do that and now
24:32
listen to this. They're not a NATO member what are they
24:34
cheering them on? or NATO supposed to have a specific job
24:37
to do? Not getting involved in every thing every which way like
24:40
they did in Syria? Well,
24:44
Adam Curry: Stoltenberg still head of NATO has a message.
24:48
Unknown: The news was hailed as a victory by NATO. Ukrainians
24:52
have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea
24:57
Fleet. They have actually been able to It pushed the Black Sea
25:01
Fleet away from the western part of the Black Sea. And this is a
25:05
great achievement a great victory for victory. A great
25:10
defense
25:10
ministers were meeting for the first time since Donald Trump
25:13
again criticized some for not paying enough and cast doubt on
25:18
the US has commitment to their defense. But new figures on
25:21
Wednesday show 18 out of 31 members are now paying the
25:25
minimum 2% of GDP, including Germany for the first time since
25:30
the Cold War. Only five were in 2016. Just before Trump entered
25:35
the White House. The
25:36
criticism that we hear is not primarily about NATO. It's about
25:42
NATO Allies not spending enough on NATO. And that's a valid
25:48
point.
25:51
John C Dvorak: What was the punchline? I couldn't hear him
25:53
Adam Curry: that's a valid point. Oh, yeah. Funny. Yeah. I
25:57
mean, Trump is actually doing the doing the bidding of the
26:00
military industrial complex.
26:02
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it makes everyone spend more money Yeah,
26:04
that's what that whole thing is. I don't know why anyone can put
26:07
two and two together and say this is good for us. Man
26:10
Adam Curry: I gotta tell you it's like people don't see it
26:15
we're not fighting the left or the right or the red or the blue
26:19
or whatever you are problems are not going to be solved in
26:22
Congress in the Oval Office. Where we're fighting the powers
26:26
of darkness like ice spice that's nice. You're not gonna
26:31
get off definitely cannot get off of ice spice that was a
26:34
screenshot of this devil's horns that she did this video is
26:37
deplorable. deplorable. All right, do your NATO clips and
26:41
then I want to get into drones.
26:42
John C Dvorak: I got a three by three.
26:43
Adam Curry: Oh my god. I wasn't even prepared for a three by
26:46
three. Yeah. What is meant by a JC what are we have
26:51
Unknown: comparing story from CDC.
26:57
Adam Curry: We've got all the headlines in the top three
26:59
networks here in the United States who drive all the
27:01
narrative thanks to the New York Times and John is going to show
27:04
us if they use the same NAT POP same NAT packages, and if it's
27:07
exact same bin, they're all fishing from you like coffee
27:11
this morning. I did. I'm jacked.
27:14
John C Dvorak: Wow, you've been drinking that canned stuff from
27:17
gigawatts that
27:19
Adam Curry: that gigawatts stuff is amazing. All right.
27:25
John C Dvorak: I got a four by four actually, because I got
27:28
Canadian in here again. But let's start with ABC and Mary
27:31
Bruce.
27:31
Unknown: Tonight, President Biden imploring House
27:34
Republicans to pass additional funding for the war in Ukraine,
27:38
saying the US has to send Russia and the world a strong message
27:42
supporting
27:43
this bill. Standing up to Putin opposing it is playing into
27:48
Putin's hands.
27:49
He says the stakes got even higher when Donald Trump said he
27:52
would actually encourage Russia to attack our NATO allies that
27:56
fail to meet defense spending targets. Just the suggestion
28:00
that Trump would support Russia attacking one of our allies,
28:04
infuriating Biden,
28:06
I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.
28:09
Biden today.
28:11
No other president Our history has ever bowed down to a Russian
28:14
dictator. Bow down. We say this as clearly as I can. I never
28:18
will. For God's sake. It's dumb. It's shameful. It's dangerous.
28:23
It's unAmerican.
28:24
The president saying House Republicans now face a stark
28:28
choice to House
28:29
Republicans. You got to decide. Are you gonna stand up for
28:33
freedom? We're gonna side with Taran Pope. Tyranny. You're
28:40
gonna stand with Ukraine. You're gonna stand with Putin. We stand
28:43
with America, or Trump. The
28:46
$95 billion which also includes funding for Israel has already
28:52
passed the Senate with significant Republican support.
28:55
But House Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to even bring it up for
28:59
a vote. He says no more foreign aid without tougher border
29:02
security measures. This though just last week under pressure
29:06
from Trump, Republicans rejected a bipartisan compromise
29:10
including the toughest border measures in decades
29:17
national security against border security
29:20
Adam Curry: all along it's quite amazing how ABC and I have a
29:24
feeling the other nowhere to the same how they just chop in a
29:27
small little tidbit of what Trump actually said which was
29:30
admitted to be true by Jens Stoltenberg of NATO the guy that
29:36
it's all about and baffling.
29:40
John C Dvorak: It is baffling it well let's go to the worst of
29:44
them then wishes NBC and Comcast owned NBC, which is the most
29:50
probably progressive group of them all for the first time. I
29:54
shouldn't mention you know, they you know, they've gone deep into
29:57
D E I and yeah, so my inner net was down last night.
30:01
Adam Curry: Oh no.
30:02
John C Dvorak: Comcast down. Luckily I have backup. For
30:05
Unknown: the first time in cluster 150 years a sitting
30:08
Cabinet Secretary has been impeached by the House of
30:11
Representatives. It was a close vote 214 to 213. And it comes
30:16
just one week after House Republicans failed to impeach
30:19
Alejandro Mayorkas. All as there's a new showdown tonight
30:23
over Ukraine, after the Senate muscle drew a massive bipartisan
30:28
$95 billion spending package in the early morning hours,
30:32
including 60 billion for Ukraine. President Biden
30:36
demanding the house pass it immediately
30:39
failure to support Ukraine, this critical moment will never be
30:42
forgotten.
30:43
Biden's slamming these comments from Trump, where he recounted a
30:47
conversation with a NATO member encouraging Russia to attack
30:50
countries who had not met their financial pledges to the
30:53
alliance.
30:54
They said you didn't pay your delinquent. He said yes. Let's
30:59
say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I
31:02
would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You
31:05
gotta pay.
31:06
Can you imagine a former president united states saying
31:10
that? The whole world heard it. The worst thing is he means
31:15
delivering this. No other president Our history has ever
31:19
bowed down to a Russian dictator. Let me say this as
31:23
clearly as I can. I never will. For God's sake. It's dumb. It's
31:28
shameful. It's dangerous. It's unAmerican.
31:31
Meanwhile, that package in the same place, so contained more
31:33
than $14 billion for Israel, but it does not include any funding
31:37
for domestic border security, after Republicans with Trump's
31:41
backing killed a bipartisan border security bill saying it
31:45
was not tough enough with Speaker Mike Johnson saying
31:48
that's the price for any new money for Ukraine. Bad
31:51
health security begins with border security.
31:54
Adam Curry: All along the same clip at the end. Okay, so with
31:57
Trump's backing, that was great. I love that there's no actual
32:00
evidence of this and what it was, you know, there was the
32:02
voting. Was he putting up
32:04
John C Dvorak: money and voting? He wasn't there. He was not
32:06
President. What are they talking about? It was something else
32:08
Adam Curry: I wanted to mention in the was it there was
32:11
something else in that clip that was totally irksome. homos
32:15
Second, do you mind if I just go back for so go review it now
32:19
almost like it was somewhere in the middle here. They
32:22
Unknown: said you didn't pay your delinquent. He said, Yes.
32:26
Let's say that happened? No, I would not protect you. In fact,
32:29
I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You
32:32
gotta fail. Can
32:33
you imagine a former president united states saying that? The
32:38
whole world heard it. The worst thing is he means and delivering
32:43
this. During rebuke. No other president Our history has ever
32:47
bowed down to a Russian dictator. critical moment will
32:50
never be forgotten.
32:52
John C Dvorak: I said bowing down any comments from
32:54
Unknown: billion for Ukraine? I don't remember what it was. But
32:57
anyway,
32:57
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry. But you probably pick it up on the
32:59
CBS report. There's no
33:01
Unknown: doubt the former president has said a dangerous
33:03
and shocking me, frankly, on American signal to the world.
33:07
President Biden leveled a blistering attack today on
33:10
Donald Trump for recently saying he wouldn't defend NATO allies
33:13
from a Russian attack. If they don't pay full do
33:16
Adam Curry: Wow, this sounds like the same guy. It sounds
33:19
like the same coin. No. And
33:20
John C Dvorak: you started playing the clip. Oh, my God.
33:23
Adam Curry: This was the same guy. Let me hear that again.
33:26
Because
33:26
Unknown: he means and delivering this blistering rebuke to the
33:30
alliance.
33:31
Let's say that happened since No, I did not protect you. In
33:34
fact, I
33:34
John C Dvorak: would wait a minute. Is that O'Keefe? That
33:36
was Ryan nobles. That was NBC same? Well, you know, they came
33:41
from the same stable. Oh, that's a lot of
33:45
Unknown: former President has said a dangerous and shocking
33:48
me, frankly, on American signal to the world. President
33:52
Biden leveled a blistering attack today on Donald Trump for
33:55
recently saying he wouldn't defend NATO allies from a
33:57
Russian attack. If they don't pay full dues to the alliance.
34:01
Let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact,
34:04
I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You
34:07
got to face you got to pay your bills.
34:10
Imagine a former president united states saying that the
34:14
whole world heard it same clip and worst thing is he means that
34:18
no other president in history has ever bowed down to a Russian
34:21
dictator. Oh
34:22
John C Dvorak: down.
34:23
Unknown: Let me say this as clearly as I can. I never will.
34:27
Oh, god sake it's dumb. It's shameful. It's on American.
34:32
The President spoke after an all
34:33
Adam Curry: I know what the I know. I had a question. They
34:36
keep calling Putin a dictator isI a dictator I thought isn't
34:39
isn't that they've got they don't have a dictatorship in
34:42
Russia. Do they? know
34:44
John C Dvorak: he's elected? Yeah, he's
34:45
Adam Curry: elected.
34:45
John C Dvorak: I mean, he's he's, he's, I would say a de
34:49
facto dictator. No, but he's not technically a dictator. Okay.
34:54
It's
34:54
Unknown: dumb. It's shameful. It's dangerous. It's unAmerican.
34:57
The President spoke after an all night mera. have a debate in the
35:00
Senate left early morning passage of an emergency National
35:03
Security spending purchase the bill as amended passes, it would
35:07
provide billions military assistance to Ukraine, Israel
35:11
and Taiwan, but says nothing about US Mexico border security.
35:15
And that's why House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't bring
35:18
it up for a vote. That
35:19
helps security begins with border security. We have said
35:22
that all House Republicans
35:24
are increasingly taking cues from Trump who has said they
35:26
shouldn't support any border security deal that could benefit
35:30
Democrats. President Biden,
35:31
Adam Curry: now he's taking cues is Trump lied to in his ear
35:34
like, hey, oops, like, Hey, Mike,
35:37
Unknown: don't do it. Man. This is your IFP talking, Mike.
35:41
Adam Curry: What is going on with this reporting? Crap. The
35:44
Unknown: president today said the stakes are bigger than that.
35:48
And I
35:48
say to the House members, House Republicans, you got to decide
35:53
are you gonna stand up for freedom? We're gonna side with
35:56
Terran tyranny. We stand with America or Trump. Meanwhile,
36:02
tonight, House Republicans are planning to vote again to
36:04
impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in
36:08
opposition to his handling of border security. The similar
36:10
vote failed last week. And if they succeed this time, my orcas
36:13
would be the first Cabinet Secretary impeached since 1876.
36:18
Adam Curry: The cynical thing about this bill was they're also
36:20
giving money to Palestine. We're giving money to both sides.
36:24
Yeah, this is great.
36:27
John C Dvorak: It's our taxpayers money. We got to
36:30
spending it wisely and fixing it. No way at all over the
36:33
place. It's not
36:34
Adam Curry: taxpayer money, John, that's not true. No,
36:37
John C Dvorak: I've felt we're around about whatever money is
36:40
we're print missing from the coffers. It's taxpayers money.
36:44
Adam Curry: Yeah, we're just
36:46
John C Dvorak: take a look. Let's take a look at CBC
36:49
reporting.
36:51
Adam Curry: It's an investment. Okay. It's an investment in our
36:54
national security.
36:58
Unknown: Oh, nice. Standing before an energetic crowd in a
37:02
small city in South Carolina. Donald Trump veered from his
37:06
prepared remarks at one of his reelection campaign rallies,
37:10
telling a story about a conversation he says he had with
37:13
an unnamed world leader about whether the US would come to the
37:17
defense of a NATO ally in the face of Russian aggression.
37:21
One of the presidents of a big country stood up said, Well,
37:24
sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by Russia, will you
37:29
protect us? I said you didn't pay your delinquent
37:32
in this moment. Trump mischaracterizes how NATO
37:36
funding works, but goes on to suggest that unless an ally
37:39
meets its defense spending targets, that country is not
37:43
worth defending against Russian advances.
37:46
No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to
37:49
do whatever the hell they want. You got to bang
37:52
Trump statement is a direct reflection of
37:56
John C Dvorak: where did Trump ever say it's not worth
37:59
defending? That's what she said. And she we heard again, which
38:03
were laughable, by the way his comments were semi humorous, and
38:06
she characterize them as telling a guy You're not worth
38:10
defending. He never says that.
38:12
Adam Curry: And he meant it. It wasn't a joke, John, he meant
38:15
it. I heard the President said he meant it. That's the crazy,
38:18
but
38:18
Unknown: goes on to suggest that unless an ally meets its defense
38:22
spending targets, that country is not worth defending against
38:26
Russian advances.
38:27
Adam Curry: Good catch,
38:28
Unknown: no, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage
38:31
them to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta Fang.
38:34
Trump's
38:34
statement is a direct contradiction of the NATO
38:37
principle that an attack on one is an attack on all Canada is
38:42
among the NATO country members that Trump would consider not
38:45
worthy action, as it does not spend 2% of its GDP on defense
38:51
Raceline target, only 11 of NATO's 31 members actually hit
38:56
defense funding goals. Spokesperson for Canada's
38:59
Defence Minister Bill Blair did not say anything critical of
39:02
Trump, but reaffirmed Canada's commitment to the International
39:05
Security Alliance. None of this will likely matter to Trump's
39:09
supporters.
39:10
God bless you all God bless you get out and vote. He left
39:14
Saturday's rally to huge applause was defended by key
39:18
members of the Republican establishment. Trump's pro
39:21
Russia statements are influencing lawmakers pro
39:24
Russian opposition to support for Ukraine is stalling.
39:30
Control for all Russian
39:32
John C Dvorak: pro Russian. Exactly specifically. Do you
39:35
have any indication in there that are Euro Russian?
39:39
Adam Curry: Are you trying to tell me that the media is trying
39:41
to mind control us with these thoughts
39:44
John C Dvorak: and they're trying to do something here
39:47
without it left
39:48
Unknown: Saturday's rally to huge applause and was defended
39:52
by key members of the Republican establishment. Trump's pro
39:55
Russia statements are influencing lawmakers Republican
39:59
opposition to support for Ukraine is growing, stalling the
40:02
passage of billions of dollars in aid packages, which still
40:06
remain in limbo.
40:07
Adam Curry: So the whole, you know, promoting pro Putin
40:12
promoting Putin. There was another one that I caught very
40:15
short clip here, a British journalist. I don't know why we
40:18
let him in Congress lie me. We let some lie me Britt come into
40:23
Congress, and a cost Marjorie Taylor agree. And he had a
40:27
better one. David
40:29
Unknown: Cameron says that you should vote through funding for
40:31
Ukraine. What do you say to that? I think he tried to
40:34
compare us to Hitler also. And if that's the kind of language
40:38
he wants to use, I really have nothing to say to him,
40:41
he like can do to an appeaser to Hitler in novel to include
40:45
funding for Ukraine, or, you
40:47
Adam Curry: know, Pisa for Putin and appeaser for Putin. There it
40:49
is.
40:50
Unknown: I think that I really don't care what David Cameron
40:53
has to say. I think that's rude name calling, and I don't
40:57
appreciate that type of language. And David Cameron
41:00
needs to worry about his own country,
41:02
and frankly, he can kiss my ass. What do you think?
41:08
Adam Curry: I love that. I don't like to rude language but kiss
41:10
my ass. Yeah.
41:13
John C Dvorak: To play this is the Ukraine. This clip as
41:16
Ukrainian aid bill stalled,
41:18
Unknown: House Republicans again highlighting their focus on
41:21
securing the southern border. It comes as the Senate passed a $95
41:25
billion security package that doesn't address the record
41:28
influx of illegal immigrants. Our Washington correspondent
41:31
Luiz Eduardo Martinez has more details on the current
41:34
legislative impasse in Congress.
41:37
It is February the 14th. Valentine's day and day to
41:41
celebrate love louder according to Speaker of the House Mike
41:44
Johnson, New Orleans are not feeling loved by their President
41:47
Oh Love House Republican leadership emphasize that they
41:50
won't be forced to act on the foreign aid bill. The Senate
41:53
passed Tuesday until Americans concern over the border crisis
41:57
are addressed. Senator
41:59
McConnell and I've spoken about this in Frank sessions. And let
42:01
me be clear here again this morning. The Republican led
42:04
house will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign
42:07
aid bill that was opposed by most Republican senators and
42:11
does nothing to secure our own border.
42:16
During back to back press conferences. Congressman Pete
42:19
Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, urged Johnson
42:23
to bring the Senate's $95 foreign aid package to a vote on
42:27
the House floor. Aguilar says Ukraine and other US allies are
42:32
in urgent need of assistance. It's
42:35
very clear if you want to push back against Putin. We want to
42:38
help our national security put this bill, this bipartisan bill
42:41
on the floor of
42:42
the White House says National Security Adviser had similar
42:45
comments.
42:46
All I can say is that each passing day each passing week,
42:50
the cost of inaction from the United States that's being borne
42:53
on the front lines by brave Ukrainians is rising. And that's
42:56
why we so urgently need to pass this bill urgently.
43:00
Adam Curry: urgently. Please send
43:03
John C Dvorak: money out there.
43:03
Adam Curry: You know, if you remember,
43:05
John C Dvorak: by the way, I in my opinion, this bill would pass
43:08
if if Johnson would put it up? Or vote for a vote. That's why
43:13
he's not doing it?
43:13
Adam Curry: Of course not. Course not. Do you remember, we
43:20
were talking about Eric Schmidt, the ex Google guy and he did a
43:24
big thing. On sound was a CNN, he was talking about it, he
43:29
started a drone company. And he says this is the next level of
43:34
warfare. It's all about the drones, the drones, the drones.
43:38
I think there's something to what he's doing. He's a
43:41
brilliant man, this Eric Schmidt. He is listen to the
43:45
Dutch defense minister.
43:47
Unknown: We know of course, drones are very important in
43:50
this war. So while we're seeing trench warfare, and we're also
43:54
seeing the drums and the role of the plant and the role they play
43:57
in on the battlefield. So apart from if 60s ammunition spare
44:02
parts, drone is very important to Ukraine right now. And we
44:06
need to scale up. We need to make sure that they have the
44:11
number of drones that they need, but also drones with the right
44:15
capabilities. So based on what Ukraine is learning also on
44:20
frontline, and that's why we are joining the drone coalition that
44:26
Ukraine has started together with Latvia together with other
44:29
countries to make sure that we do just that to increase
44:32
production to use the latest technology and to provide
44:36
exactly with what Ukraine needs
44:42
Adam Curry: maybe it's marine drones, its air drones. Its
44:47
drone drone drone drone, everything's a drone.
44:50
Everything's yeah,
44:51
John C Dvorak: there's money to be made in the drone. one more
44:53
clip the plan is NATO
44:55
Adam Curry: big money in drones. All right before you go to
44:58
drones
45:00
John C Dvorak: You were listening all these reactions to
45:01
Trump's commentary about NATO and always wants this summit.
45:06
This is a this is an interesting little clip. This is just the
45:09
public leaving Trump's rally discussing this matter the way
45:16
and I think this is what the public thinks, but some
45:19
Unknown: Trump supporters were outside today's rally told us
45:22
just now that they think Trump was not wrong and calling out
45:25
some countries who are not paying their fair share, watch.
45:29
They've
45:29
got to pay and get to be a part of something you got to pay your
45:32
dues. I think that's fair. And I think they should. I don't see
45:36
anything wrong with what he said. He's
45:38
got too much too big of a lead. She should just drop out.
45:42
Adam Curry: Daily, Haley Haley, but the military complex is
45:47
being promoted by Trump.
45:49
John C Dvorak: The term Yeah, that's the irony. The term fair
45:54
share. Yep. Which Biden loves to use, I think should be used
46:00
constantly about this commentary that Trump had to say.
46:04
Adam Curry: Yeah, but this is everyone's the military
46:07
industrial complex has power. They have power, man, they got
46:11
power over everybody over all these nit numbnuts
46:15
John C Dvorak: or everybody but except for the Big Pharma. Yeah,
46:19
well, I'm not sure we're in bed together. And and the shot deer
46:24
in
46:26
Adam Curry: the interest. something interesting happened.
46:27
You know, we've been talking about the Democrats actually
46:31
wanting Trump to win
46:33
John C Dvorak: here has one of our sub text theses. Yes. Well,
46:37
Adam Curry: I have a have another data point. Brett
46:41
Weinstein fresh from his appearance on Tucker. He's going
46:45
around the world, you know, he went to the Darien Gap. And he
46:48
came back and said, Oh, we're being invaded by Chinese as
46:51
military age men. Even though I think we've successfully proven
46:55
that there's huge unemployment in China and the rich Chinese
46:59
who can or the wealthy or the middle class who can travel to
47:03
other countries or hopscotching around they take an Uber at the
47:05
last minute. They come through the fence. Yeah, they come to
47:08
the police.
47:09
John C Dvorak: We did nothing wrong with having 10s of 1000s
47:13
of smart Chinese coming into the country to boost our IQ. Yes.
47:20
Adam Curry: But Weinstein is now on the and I actually texted
47:23
with Joe about this. And he says no, we're being invaded, said,
47:26
No, we're not. But it was this little bit of Weinstein's
47:32
appearance that really said, Oh, we're on the right track.
47:36
Unknown: Well, I don't think we're there yet. But I but I
47:39
don't think on the basis of the time he would have his
47:43
temperament or his ability to build a team. You know, Trump is
47:47
kind of a one man show. And his team building ability, I don't
47:51
think is enough to solve the problem either. But the punch
47:54
line of that is, if Kennedy can't do it, for whatever
48:00
reason, if politics gets in the way, we still have to get
48:06
whatever that cabal is out of power immediately. This could
48:09
not be more of an emergency. We've seen through COVID how
48:14
dangerous these people are, how little they care about our well
48:17
being. And we have to rally around whatever it is that
48:22
addresses this problem. And, you know, as much as I'm not a
48:28
believer that Trump on his own can do the job. I would far
48:32
prefer him to another standard bearer of that Cabal, the cabal
48:36
is too dangerous. And I say this, as you know, I'm a
48:38
lifelong Democrat. Right? This is my party that I'm telling you
48:42
cannot be trusted with governance. But that's where we
48:45
are.
48:47
Adam Curry: That's a big show. It's a big show to be saying
48:49
that kind of stuff so big. Yeah,
48:51
John C Dvorak: he's definitely going to find himself into a
48:53
heap of trouble is like Matt Taibbi has been making the
48:57
rounds are with all kinds of interesting stories. But, you
49:00
know, if you're a Democrat during within the last decade,
49:04
and you leave the party, this would happen to Trump. Trump, I
49:07
think is one of the examples of this. It's more of a cult than
49:11
anything else, you leave, they go after you they don't go after
49:15
you. They don't go after me because I left a democrat party
49:19
in this late 70s. So I'm, I'm exempt. But the recent Democrat
49:25
Party, people are all in a in a call. He just said kibali Just I
49:30
almost said cabal but a cult is what I really mean it because
49:33
when you leave a cult, they go after you that's what all cults
49:36
do. Yeah. And so Weinstein is in for a heap of trouble. Just by
49:41
that that clip right there is gonna get him into hot water.
49:45
You watch Well,
49:47
Adam Curry: he's, he's, you know, the I think he's very
49:50
malleable. You know, he's these these words are not just his
49:53
people are talking to him. You know, the Dream Team. The Dream
49:57
Team is talking to him. Matt Lee are Buddy in the State
50:00
Department is back. And it's always fun to have Matt Lee back
50:05
on deck. I don't know why it's been so long. We haven't heard
50:07
from him. And now we have President Biden saying, oh, you
50:12
know, this Israel response was over the top. It's over the top.
50:19
All right. And I guess it was solid. And maybe who said, Well,
50:24
you know, we we've got many levers. We told them Israelis
50:27
what we're gonna do, we told them what to do. We were mercker
50:30
Murca. And Matt leaves have none of it.
50:32
Unknown: What lovers? Have you used?
50:35
So we have used diplomatically levers, the Secretary, that
50:39
means, Victoria and the president and you and Kirby and
50:43
whoever else standing up and saying, wagging your finger and
50:46
saying that that's not really leverage.
50:49
We have engaged with them on a at a multitude of levels at this
50:56
administration. And and, as I
50:59
Adam Curry: you could literally be in Matt Lee's chair. I love
51:04
that multitude. What does that mean a multitude administration?
51:07
Unknown: And and as I kind of you look at the list that we
51:11
just went through with whomever we have seen them take steps at
51:15
our urging that have had real, real tangible impact with but
51:19
they have not been enough. But what levers have you
51:21
actually, I
51:23
think the that when the United States of America stands up and
51:27
says something publicly it matters?
51:29
Adam Curry: No, it doesn't.
51:31
Unknown: But you had, and we haven't said no. And we've been
51:35
any consequences. My to my point, we have seen money, or
51:40
military systems. But we have been the policies we have
51:45
pursued, we have seen improvements along these
51:48
specific areas. Okay, we've seen tangible improvements. Again,
51:53
asking you
51:53
what the average
51:54
has also, I want the average have you brought to bear I just
51:59
went through what have you gone? I think the words of the
52:02
President United States the words of the Secretary of State
52:04
matter and holding the top and we have seen, we have seen the
52:09
Government of Israel respond to not always in the way that we
52:13
want not always to the degree that we want, or to the level
52:16
that we want, but the the our interventions, we believe have
52:19
had an impact, and we will continue to pursue them because
52:21
we we believe they do.
52:23
Adam Curry: What Matt Lee is pointing out is that Israel has
52:26
some huge leverage on the administration. And they have
52:29
nothing Well, we told them you calm down no culus burgers in
52:35
the Netherlands, who interestingly have a large part
52:39
to play with the F 35 supply chain. They took a totally
52:43
different track. And the same defense minister we heard
52:47
earlier all in on drones for Ukraine. ropes, no more F 35
52:52
parts for Israel
52:53
Unknown: and appeals court in the Netherlands has ordered the
52:56
government to stop F 35 parts deliveries to Israel, the ruling
53:01
takes effect within the next seven days. And for more on this
53:05
story, we can go across to Fanon, Van Ted standing by at
53:08
the Hague for now. What exactly is this ruling? And will it have
53:12
an impact? So
53:14
there was an audible gostilna in the court as this verdict came
53:17
through this quote saying that the Netherlands needs to
53:20
reconsider its export license for those F 35 parts to Israel,
53:26
because there is a serious risk of violations to international
53:29
humanitarian law. And thus, this is how the minister should rule.
53:34
Now this is centered around the small town of rooms dressed in
53:37
Robins here, which is where the F 35 regional warehouse is,
53:41
which is where all European partners have the F 35 program
53:45
and Israel are supplied with our F 35 Spare parts. Now, the
53:50
minister had argued that she had read looked at this general
53:54
export license which was given in 2016 after October 7, but in
53:58
light of Israel's right to self defense and political
54:01
considerations such as the Dutch relationship with the United
54:05
States and Israel had decided to continue exporting those parts
54:09
the judges here now said that that was the wrong decision.
54:12
They say it is clear that there are violations to international
54:14
humanitarian law taking place in Gaza due to the large number of
54:17
civilian casualties there including children and that
54:21
within seven days or export of parts to the F 35 jet to Israel
54:25
must stop
54:27
Adam Curry: do they went in overruled through the courts?
54:30
You're done? This is very interesting.
54:33
John C Dvorak: You know, got it caused some problems of back
54:35
channel well,
54:37
Adam Curry: it's about time for some of that Epstein video
54:39
footage to come out. If they're gonna if there is blackmail
54:45
going on. Which Which seems apparent. Why else with the
54:48
United States who Oh, we said it's over the top and that'll
54:51
slow them down. No. So is everyone all afraid? Oh, they
54:58
might. I mean, it's time for some more Epstein client lists
55:02
stories
55:05
John C Dvorak: yeah well sure they get plenty of Pete dictum
55:07
lists must be a mile long
55:08
Adam Curry: yeah but my point is that whenever they need to
55:12
John C Dvorak: get everyone anyone needs something to get
55:14
done yeah
55:15
Adam Curry: then then all of a sudden they go oh god I've
55:17
released another client was How about just do some pictures so
55:20
we can call them AI generated Come on, come on, let's do it.
55:24
Let's spice up the show people. I'm tired of waiting.
55:31
John C Dvorak: Which is about have a couple of little side
55:33
bits here. While I do have this some Gaza news, so I'm gonna
55:37
play these business of funny stuff here that doesn't get in
55:40
the mainstream. So I got it from NTD and this is the two
55:44
hostages, no deal and TD clips and there's those three of these
55:48
clips.
55:49
Unknown: This is in di D things are heating up across Israel's
55:53
northern border with Lebanon and an Israeli official says they
55:57
are preparing for war in the north. This comes as the Israeli
56:00
military says that to Al Jazeera reporters are also Hamas
56:04
terrorists entities Jason Perry has the latest on Israel
56:09
recently released footage of a mission in which Israeli
56:12
soldiers rescue two hostages. Israel said they used explosives
56:16
to breach the building and heavy gunfire followed. Israeli troops
56:22
were then seen going up the stairs to the second floor of
56:25
the building where they rescued the hostages. Those two former
56:28
hostages said this on Wednesday.
56:32
I want to say thank you to all the people of Israel and to the
56:35
security forces who brought us home recording system. I want to
56:40
say thank you to all those who participated in this complex
56:44
operation to the IDF to the security forces to all the
56:48
soldiers who made us really feel that we were being brought home.
56:52
And both of them said they hoped that remaining hostages would be
56:55
released and in regard to a possible ceasefire to release
56:59
the over 100 hostages who remain in the Gaza Strip. Officials
57:03
from the United States, Egypt, Israel and Qatar met in Egypt on
57:07
Tuesday for ceasefire negotiations. But according to
57:11
reports, no deal was reached. And apparently there was not
57:15
even a date announced for their next meeting to continue the
57:18
talks.
57:20
John C Dvorak: Now there's something about these two
57:21
hostages, which kind of and it was brought to the four by the
57:24
what this guy said one of the hostage he says, hey, they
57:27
brought us and made us feel like we were actually going back
57:30
home.
57:32
Adam Curry: It was I think that if it was all an act, it was it
57:36
was meant to obfuscate the obvious bombing that happened on
57:39
on Super Bowl Sunday.
57:42
John C Dvorak: Well, it would did definitely did that. But why
57:44
are these two hostages? You know? It just doesn't make
57:47
sense. If you had these two guys, out in the middle of
57:51
nowhere, they're not with the rest of the hostages. So you
57:53
can't you know, where are the hostages? And why are these two
57:56
guys where they are? And why are they saying well, it's it was
57:59
great. We got back home and made us feel like we were really
58:01
coming home. And what does that mean? This whole hostage thing
58:06
was just a scam of some sort. You're
58:09
Adam Curry: gonna get us banned. The the Israel is now banning
58:13
foreign media or they're threatening to know me. There's
58:16
no media here, stop reporting. And
58:19
John C Dvorak: so the thing that which brings us to clip two
58:22
there, this if this is true, which makes sense that it might
58:27
be because I think the unrar thing that UN agencies also
58:31
Adam Curry: thought was very suspicious. Yeah, just like the
58:34
White Helmets. And
58:35
John C Dvorak: this is this part, which did mainstream media
58:38
in this country hasn't touched. But I think it's definitely
58:41
worth the discussion. Part two of this
58:43
Unknown: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas
58:46
didn't offer anything new in their proposal. Hamas apparently
58:50
still demands that Israel in the war completely before they will
58:54
release the hostages.
58:56
Ai insists that Hamas should abandon its delusional demands
59:00
and when it does, we will be able to move forward
59:03
and in another development this week and IDF spokesman to Arab
59:08
media said in a statement on X that Israeli forces recovered a
59:12
laptop in the Gaza Strip, and pictures on the laptop showed
59:15
that an Al Jazeera reporter is also a senior military operative
59:20
and the Hamas terrorists. And on Wednesday, the IDF spokesman
59:24
posted a picture of another alleged Al Jazeera reporter who
59:27
filmed himself in an Israeli village during the October 7
59:31
massacre. We reached out to AlJazeera for comment, but we
59:35
didn't hear back before airtime.
59:36
Adam Curry: All right, we must remember a couple things. One,
59:40
we still have no resolution and it quickly gets forgotten. As to
59:44
how this this fence this border, the security fence could be so
59:49
violated and broken through with hours of a lack of response.
59:54
Because that's just fallen off the radar. We don't talk about
59:57
that anymore. How do we do well we do But so that just that
1:00:03
makes no sense. And you've got to start questioning the motives
1:00:08
of, quote unquote leaders of all countries about what's really
1:00:13
going on here. The second thing we need to remember is that
1:00:16
these leaders, they don't care about people. They don't care.
1:00:21
They don't care how many they have to kill, how many die,
1:00:24
they've got to some boy, whatever the whatever the reason
1:00:27
for all this is, they don't care. They'll just do whatever.
1:00:32
And then we sit here, even you and I like whoa, listen to the
1:00:34
news. No, okay, just
1:00:36
Unknown: making sure we that's what we're paid to
1:00:39
Adam Curry: do. What's below makes nothing but sense.
1:00:44
John C Dvorak: Why are we doing this? I don't matter here.
1:00:48
Sorry, three. Also,
1:00:50
Unknown: on Wednesday, I'll cross Israel's northern border,
1:00:52
Hezbollah terrorists and Lebanon fired a barrage of rockets into
1:00:56
northern Israel, killing one woman and injuring eight others.
1:01:00
In response to the attacks. Israel Defense Forces reported
1:01:04
striking a series of targets in Lebanon, and the Chief of the
1:01:08
General Staff of the IDF said they are preparing for war in
1:01:11
the north.
1:01:13
Adam Curry: This is just west Clarke seven just unfolding
1:01:16
before us is that's all kind of
1:01:18
John C Dvorak: look, this is slow. That's all of it. Now,
1:01:20
it's conceivable one little side clip here I want to play. And
1:01:25
this is because the first thing that came to mind when I heard
1:01:29
this clip, and I thought to myself, what was Tucker Carlson
1:01:34
really doing in Russia? Meeting with Putin? Is it possible that
1:01:41
Adam Curry: he was passing off a USB stick?
1:01:44
John C Dvorak: He was doing some let me they're saying is it
1:01:47
possible that he was doing something and this something may
1:01:50
be involved with this particular clip? play this clip this is the
1:01:54
clip is prisoner exchange. Meanwhile,
1:01:57
Unknown: a possible prisoner exchange could be in the works
1:02:00
between Russia and the US. The Kremlin refused to comment on
1:02:04
the state of negotiations when asked today. It restated that
1:02:07
such cases must be resolved in silence. The US is seeking the
1:02:12
release of former Marine Paul Whelan and form and reporter
1:02:15
Evan Gorsky vich, both held in Russian prisons on spy charges
1:02:19
they denied. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said yesterday
1:02:22
that he had spoken to Whalen and a rare phone call. Russian
1:02:26
President Vladimir Putin suggested in an interview with
1:02:29
American journalist Tucker Carlson last week, that in
1:02:32
return for Herskovits Moscow wants Germany to free bottom
1:02:35
Cresco volve crosscut cough was convicted of murdering a Chechen
1:02:39
dissident in Berlin.
1:02:42
Adam Curry: It could be it's possible I mean, I don't know
1:02:46
you'd have
1:02:46
John C Dvorak: to have some face to face once in a while. But
1:02:48
with this Ukrainian situation going on, you need to get a
1:02:51
third party and neutral guy in there. Who's got nothing to do
1:02:54
with the State Department, the US government or anything else
1:02:56
coming
1:02:57
Adam Curry: to Kansas but
1:02:57
John C Dvorak: he's always wanted to be a spook
1:02:59
Adam Curry: that they can just pick up the phone. I don't know.
1:03:04
But on his way home and tuck our stuff stopped off at the World
1:03:08
Government con conference. I
1:03:11
John C Dvorak: saw that too. And he
1:03:13
Adam Curry: was interviewed. Well,
1:03:14
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry, hard to clear. We
1:03:16
Adam Curry: looked we looked at his crotch for 36 minutes was
1:03:19
the worst camera shot ever. You know, but with that, that huge
1:03:23
dude behind and besides him asking questions. Well, they're
1:03:26
side by side very uncomfortable, hard to clip, also
1:03:29
uninteresting. It was just uninteresting. And why would
1:03:33
that shot if his crush it just the customer was decent amateur
1:03:37
John C Dvorak: amateurs. But so or maybe not. Maybe it was I
1:03:42
could do some jokes here. I'm not going to use. But how about
1:03:45
this, go back to this the idea of Tucker going back there to
1:03:50
set up this prisoner exchange. One of the things that Putin
1:03:57
wants is this guy that killed the Chechnya and guy. Yeah. And
1:04:01
he wants him out. He wants them back in Russia. And in their
1:04:05
interview, Putin did discuss the CIA being involved in this, that
1:04:09
and the other thing and he and he got out which something is
1:04:12
never been done on American media. He got out what he
1:04:16
considers the fact that the Chechen situation was set up and
1:04:22
executed by the CIA is what he says and arm narrative about the
1:04:27
Chesty and thing is that it was all established by by Putin, he
1:04:32
set it up, so he could burn down the big apartment building and
1:04:35
kill a bunch of Chechnya's and remember that yes, okay. That's
1:04:39
been going on. And I don't think Putin likes that narrative. It
1:04:43
may or may not be true. None of this all this by the way we're
1:04:46
discussing may or may not be true, but it just a lot of scams
1:04:50
going on and so far is trying to get us to think one way or the
1:04:53
other, but couldn't got that into the public domain. This
1:04:56
little See, I think the idea would be this. We want to get
1:04:59
these two Americans back. What do we have to do? Putin says,
1:05:03
I'll do an interview with Tucker. I have to discuss the
1:05:06
CIA get involved in Chechnya. I want that guy back from Germany.
1:05:10
And then you can have your, your, your spook and your
1:05:13
journalist back. And we'll be good to go. And but but you're
1:05:17
gonna have to set it up in in a secret, like just this last
1:05:21
week,
1:05:21
Adam Curry: telling me that that's really the level of
1:05:23
importance of things that these guys are thinking about. I just
1:05:26
don't want to look like a douche. i Okay. Yeah,
1:05:32
John C Dvorak: exactly. She's taken. And there's no
1:05:37
explanation for Tucker. Oh, I've been trying to do this interview
1:05:40
for a decade, blah, blah, blah. This whole Tucker thing and this
1:05:44
boring interview, I think was just to get Tucker over there to
1:05:48
set the set up things because he's always wanted to be a
1:05:52
spook, he said, So himself, set things up. Okay for the Russians
1:05:56
to do this trade, because there's no reason for this, this
1:05:58
prisoner. Transfer this trade to happen. Now, coincidentally,
1:06:04
like a couple of days after Tucker shows up? Well,
1:06:07
Adam Curry: you've successfully ruin any chances of me ever
1:06:10
appearing on Tucker show, that's for sure. That's never gonna
1:06:13
happen. Now.
1:06:14
John C Dvorak: Why? Maybe I ruined my chances. I didn't ruin
1:06:17
your chances. You're defending Tiger. I can hear it.
1:06:19
Adam Curry: No, I'm not. I'm not. Because I what he did for
1:06:23
me is he reminded me that the World Government Congress
1:06:26
conference was on in I think, is Dubai. And I was like, Oh,
1:06:31
that's right. That's where all these douchebags get together
1:06:34
and tell us how they're going to rule us in the future. Exactly.
1:06:38
And luckily, our boy Schwab was there. And he laid it out seven
1:06:44
Unknown: years ago, after having written a book about evolution,
1:06:51
I showed houses evolution will change how we live, how we act,
1:06:58
how we communicate, how we produce, and how we consume.
1:07:03
Now, we are speaking not just about to foresee this
1:07:07
revolution, we are speaking about the transition of human
1:07:13
kind into a new era. We speak about transition into what I
1:07:20
would call the intelligent age. situation. Unfold unfolds within
1:07:27
a society where artificial intelligence, robotics, Internet
1:07:33
of Things.
1:07:38
John C Dvorak: Internet of Things, internet
1:07:41
Adam Curry: of things, things
1:07:44
Unknown: Internet of Things. So 3d printing, genetic
1:07:48
engineering, quantum computing, some foundations of our daily
1:07:55
lives. Okay,
1:07:56
Adam Curry: so he's setting it up was the Internet of Things,
1:08:00
saying quantum computing, I just want to point out quantum
1:08:03
computing on deck on deck. But He's warming he's really talking
1:08:08
about a global warming. What does it what is
1:08:14
John C Dvorak: it when this guy is when his head is on a stick?
1:08:19
Do you think his mouth should be a gape? Or somebody should wire
1:08:23
it shut? What do you think?
1:08:25
Adam Curry: What I like about this is that this is how these
1:08:28
people are thinking. It doesn't mean that it's true, but it is
1:08:33
true how they think and they're all in because they're dumb.
1:08:36
They are dumb. That's why they're doing this job. It's
1:08:39
because it's a it's a dumb job, and you just get fat and drunk
1:08:43
and parked. You have a good time. So it's really about
1:08:47
transhumanist control. Here's your Swaby boy.
1:08:52
Unknown: So future is not happening. We particularly you
1:08:57
as government leaders, you are shaping the future. So what does
1:09:02
it mean for government leaders? We don't want to move into using
1:09:10
the Fourth Industrial Revolution into a cold. Walker. See,
1:09:15
Adam Curry: that's exactly what you want. So that's why you're
1:09:17
saying we don't want to do it.
1:09:19
Unknown: We don't want to move into a technocracy. Yes, you do.
1:09:25
What we want to do we want to move in what I would call a
1:09:33
jubile NACA see
1:09:35
a human na cracy
1:09:37
a world where we use technology to use all our human potential
1:09:44
and to create even a better world. Thank you.
1:09:47
Adam Curry: Yes, thank you know,
1:09:49
John C Dvorak: Man, this guy.
1:09:51
Adam Curry: Let's just check in with the public and see how
1:09:53
that's going. How are we? How are we doing with all of this AI
1:09:57
as the internet as the saying close
1:09:59
Unknown: call in the crowd? crosswalk as these adults in San
1:10:01
Francisco rush to kids out of the way to avoid being hit, and
1:10:05
then do a double take as they watch the car cruise by with no
1:10:09
driver, so called a robo taxi is operated by crews.
1:10:13
Adam Curry: Did you see that? What happened to the way Moe car
1:10:15
in San Francisco?
1:10:17
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we talked about in the last show I
1:10:18
Adam Curry: thought it was no no no no we didn't talk about it on
1:10:21
the show. Tell us tell you live there he boots on the ground.
1:10:24
What happened to the way Moe vehicle?
1:10:25
John C Dvorak: Well, there was a it was like an event into it I
1:10:30
think was in the Castro district in some way mo car comes into
1:10:32
the area and the it stops and then Janice traffic and there's
1:10:36
a bunch of they always have these issues. They get no
1:10:38
traffic and they can't get out. They suck. And so somebody
1:10:41
decided to just for Chinese New Year. And so somebody decided to
1:10:46
bust a Windows out of the thing. And then they threw a bunch of
1:10:49
firecrackers in there caught the thing on fire. And then it
1:10:52
started catching it burning to the ground. People were cheering
1:10:55
and yelling and circling it and jumping up and down. It was like
1:11:00
it was like some sort of a side Bible thing from
1:11:04
Adam Curry: Samoa or like a science fiction movie. We're
1:11:07
we're happy we got one of them. We got one of the
1:11:09
John C Dvorak: boards. Got one. Let's see what was missing was
1:11:12
tying it up.
1:11:13
Adam Curry: Let's listen to Dutch member of European
1:11:16
Parliament, Rob Rose, who will tell us really exactly what the
1:11:20
plan is the
1:11:21
Unknown: bureaucrats centralist in Brussels are addicted to
1:11:24
power. They use or abuse every crisis, financial crisis, COVID
1:11:31
crisis, Ukraine crisis, energy crisis. And the solution is
1:11:37
always the same. And the professor already said it more
1:11:40
European Union if there's no crisis, and that's the second
1:11:45
point, if there's no crisis, they create the crisis. For
1:11:52
example, climate change, they call it an existential threat.
1:11:58
And the solution is the Green Deal.
1:12:03
The Green Deal destroyed our
1:12:05
energy system, it is destroying our food system. They are trying
1:12:12
to control co2. But if you control co2, co2, you you
1:12:19
control people because everything we do in life is
1:12:22
about co2 emissions, living, breathing, eating, traveling,
1:12:27
living. So if you can control that you can control people's
1:12:30
lives. Now they introduced the digital identity and the central
1:12:34
bank digital currency. So they can see everything we do, and
1:12:38
they can control everything
1:12:41
we do because they can shut off shut off our
1:12:46
our financial system whenever they want. We have seen it
1:12:50
already in Canada during the COVID crisis. Yes,
1:12:54
Adam Curry: exactly. And I think that there's some some opposite
1:12:58
play. Intentionally, unintentionally, I'm not sure
1:13:03
all ops would be intentional. This was a very odd report, if a
1:13:08
local ABC report that this is happening tells me that we need
1:13:13
some solutions and the banks can't do it. They're no good.
1:13:16
Unknown: I hadn't tapped it. I hadn't inserted it. I hadn't
1:13:19
swiped it. And then all of a sudden, out comes the receipt.
1:13:22
And I said how did this get paid for? The cashier couldn't
1:13:25
explain it. She stood there literally just sort of blank. I
1:13:29
really thought that the guy ahead of me that he had been
1:13:32
charged. I said somebody paid for this on a credit card
1:13:35
somewhere. Turns out the tap to pay card reader and Safeway had
1:13:39
ignored the debit card and Edgar's hand. Instead it reached
1:13:42
into Edgar's back pocket through his wallet and charged his Bank
1:13:47
of America credit card tucked inside. That's a pretty big
1:13:50
reach. I mean, around me or threw me to my wallet. Why
1:13:54
didn't you grab the card that was narrowed? How did it decide
1:13:57
what to grab?
1:13:58
I was shocked. I was like, Well, it can't
1:14:00
be bizarre. He says it happened at a doctor's office. They
1:14:04
went to pay and they said you're already paid and I said I
1:14:09
haven't inserted my card. I haven't even taken it out of my
1:14:12
wallet.
1:14:13
Turns out the card reader there had sent radio waves into her
1:14:16
purse and charged her credit card without her knowing it and
1:14:21
that wasn't all sign you got an even bigger surprise at a little
1:14:25
shop
1:14:25
woman said Oh my It's just read three cards.
1:14:30
The store is kept to pay system charge. Not only one but three
1:14:35
credit cards tucked in a wallet inside her purse.
1:14:39
I'd say I was two feet away at that point for sure all
1:14:42
charges were reversed but it was troubling.
1:14:47
Adam Curry: This, this doesn't sound real to me. Sounds
1:14:51
John C Dvorak: like bull crap to me too. Now my cards are in a
1:14:55
wallet that has a Faraday Faraday cage Faraday cage court
1:15:00
Of course, but, but when I pull the card out to have it read on
1:15:04
one of these things I have to fight it. Yeah, move it around.
1:15:07
I gotta flip it over.
1:15:09
Adam Curry: It doesn't right I'm struggling
1:15:10
John C Dvorak: for Hey, gotta read the card and now I give up
1:15:13
and I stick it in. But generally There you go. There's a line for
1:15:17
you. Yep. Now I'm worried. So you know, so you fool around
1:15:21
your foot so I took for the fact that thing that one guy says it
1:15:24
went through his body into his wallet in his you know, reached
1:15:29
around reached it was reached around bull crap this is these
1:15:33
stories are being planted for some reason. Okay, you brought
1:15:36
him up? Yeah, what's the reason Oh, we
1:15:40
Adam Curry: have to have a new a new banking system. This is no
1:15:42
longer secure the that can only be Federal Reserve fed. Now I
1:15:47
don't want to say
1:15:47
John C Dvorak: CBDs reach around it with it anyway, if it's one
1:15:51
of these cards, no no. Huge RFID range hollows
1:15:55
Adam Curry: on which the body we just said is bullcrap story
1:15:58
because the way the RFID works is the signal goes out is
1:16:04
reflected back the energy is reflected back by the trip in
1:16:08
your card. That's the part that is just not going to happen at
1:16:11
too far distance in less power. I mean, does it amplify one on
1:16:16
one does it go in at 10 Watts and come out 10 watts? I doubt
1:16:19
it. So it's just not a true story. That's why it's a local
1:16:23
story. It's not a true story. And this is to discredit banks
1:16:28
to discredit your tap to pay probably to discredit Google Pay
1:16:32
and Apple Pay and all this stuff. This is there's an
1:16:34
opposite play. A pay a pay play to pop up pop pop up, pay up
1:16:39
play
1:16:40
John C Dvorak: something like that, but from the forces of
1:16:42
cash
1:16:43
Adam Curry: flow of good the forces of cash Okay, Boomer.
1:16:52
That ship has long sailed and Oh, I'm so long sales.
1:16:57
John C Dvorak: I know in Berkeley for example, they
1:16:59
started landing all these all these all, you know, use a
1:17:03
credit card here and there and then became a city ordinance.
1:17:07
No, you can't because the homeless don't have credit
1:17:09
cards. And they may want to go into a place and buy a hamburger
1:17:12
a homeless person. All they have is cash and they have to go and
1:17:15
abuse cash to buy the burger.
1:17:16
Adam Curry: How about how about this? How about Satoshi Nakamoto
1:17:20
telling everyone to use Bitcoin? I mean, that's just as you buy a
1:17:23
burger with Bitcoin. That depends what still hasn't
1:17:30
arrived. By the way. While I sent it.
1:17:33
John C Dvorak: I think there's something going on with the post
1:17:35
office. No, well, that's totally possible. There was this we had
1:17:40
a guy there's just been too many anomalous really old mail that
1:17:45
was like you look at the update. Why is it taking so long to get
1:17:48
to me? It used to be like three days for mail pretty much from
1:17:51
any shipped anywhere in the country to get to the post
1:17:54
office box. Now it's 578 10. What happened? Just so
1:17:58
Adam Curry: you know, I sent it from my bank, so they sent the
1:18:01
cheque. So there could be a delay there. I don't know. It's
1:18:05
a great way to send cash. And I add a check. And I sent it to
1:18:09
the PIO box. So do you been to the PIO box? Yeah, yesterday.
1:18:13
Okay. Well, maybe it's there today. We had another
1:18:17
John C Dvorak: so it came in from the bank. How did this I
1:18:20
kind of just get mixed right in with no agenda stuff?
1:18:23
Adam Curry: It says John C. Dvorak, which
1:18:26
John C Dvorak: not a no agenda stuff comes to Jhansi. Dvorak at
1:18:29
that post office.
1:18:30
Adam Curry: But yeah, from Adam curry.
1:18:32
John C Dvorak: Well, not if it came not from yourself is from
1:18:36
some bang, it'll be
1:18:37
Adam Curry: front. It'll be a printed check for me. And the
1:18:39
last time I did this, you said Never send it that house, send
1:18:42
it to the PIO box. You literally told me this because the light?
1:18:47
John C Dvorak: Yes, but I didn't realize that it was coming for
1:18:49
some anonymous bank. It's
1:18:51
Adam Curry: not an anonymous bank. It'll be a check that says
1:18:54
Adam curry on the check.
1:18:55
John C Dvorak: Okay, if it says Adam Korean Did you ever see I
1:18:57
don't see. I don't see it on the spreadsheet. If I see Adam curry
1:19:01
on the spreadsheet.
1:19:04
Adam Curry: Sorry, I'm deducting. That's an interesting
1:19:06
way
1:19:06
John C Dvorak: to recoup half of this bet.
1:19:08
Adam Curry: No, I'm already
1:19:10
John C Dvorak: it's a smart move. I've given you kudos for
1:19:13
what a great idea. No,
1:19:14
Adam Curry: it's I'm expensing it as show content. Are you
1:19:17
kidding me? I'm writing it right off like, oh, no, no, you
1:19:20
John C Dvorak: can regain half of it the same way. I've seen
1:19:22
scams like this.
1:19:24
Adam Curry: Let's, let's talk about something else. That
1:19:27
happened. That is not really it's underreported. I had to
1:19:30
pick this up from Banyan show. Mitch McConnell sister in law.
1:19:36
You know, he's married to a Chinese.
1:19:38
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's got direct connections to the
1:19:40
People's Republic.
1:19:41
Adam Curry: So apparently, on her ranch in Texas, she got into
1:19:47
her Tesla, and it backed up into the water and she drowned
1:19:51
Unknown: with Angela child, Helene child's sister. suddenly
1:19:56
passed away. We believe it's now being reported on there. ranch
1:20:00
in Texas and the Tesla she was driving was founded upon. Her
1:20:05
husband is Jim Brier, her Jim buyers of famous investor
1:20:11
invested in Facebook was one of the early investors in Facebook
1:20:14
and then went off and started funneling a lot of money into
1:20:16
China through a company called ADG. He's on the board of
1:20:20
another big China investor, which is I believe he's on the
1:20:23
board of Blackstone, you know, so he's got a lot of a lot of
1:20:27
China exposure. And here, everybody's kind of shocked,
1:20:31
right? It's like there's a mysterious passing away of, you
1:20:37
know, a prominent woman who was on the board of directors of the
1:20:40
Bank of China, was involved in the, you know, Macondo cause
1:20:44
shipping company. They've done a lot in the shipping community,
1:20:48
the shipping community disrupted, and there's just
1:20:50
mystery, there's no information. There's all these articles on
1:20:53
Elaine Chao and her relationships and everything
1:20:56
else. And all at the all at the end, it says there was a car
1:20:59
accident, you know, and it was it was reported by Kyle bass on
1:21:03
Twitter this morning, and it started leaking out last night
1:21:05
that this was more drowning than a car accident. And that was a
1:21:11
car on their ranch outside of Austin, Texas.
1:21:16
Adam Curry: Maybe a two to the head moment here. Well, I
1:21:19
John C Dvorak: mean, death by to how hard is it to probe into
1:21:22
Tesla's just a computer with a bunch of battery wheels? With
1:21:26
wheels? So how hard would it be to program it to once you get in
1:21:32
under some circumstances pre programmed to lock the door so
1:21:36
you can't get out? Back up into the river? Or the lake or
1:21:42
whatever it is, I guess the lake on the property just just go
1:21:44
into reverse because it can park itself. You can let the thing go
1:21:47
and go find a parking spot. So it can back up into the lake and
1:21:51
drown you all programmatically. Is that a possibility? Anybody
1:21:56
out to you know, by the way, Brunetti one system? Did you see
1:22:01
brunette? He's got one of those stupid trucks. The
1:22:03
Adam Curry: Cyber truck? Yeah, well, let's listen to this. Let
1:22:07
me just let me just tie into what you're saying. First of
1:22:09
all, the Tesla doors are very scary. There's lots of stories
1:22:15
of people were the word caught on fire. They couldn't get out
1:22:18
because the doors wouldn't unlock. It's, it's you know,
1:22:21
it's like a by wire thing. It's not a direct
1:22:25
John C Dvorak: mechanical lock.
1:22:27
Adam Curry: China is definitely trying to overtake the Evie
1:22:32
market or what's left of it. I would say it could be an
1:22:36
industrial hit by China. So you know, it's a little good but you
1:22:40
know, back back here into the pond, you know, and the doors
1:22:44
may just have shorted out whatever. The you know, they
1:22:47
definitely the
1:22:48
John C Dvorak: doors. I'm sorry. You can backdoor into the pond.
1:22:51
You can lock the doors. No,
1:22:52
Adam Curry: I'm saying the doors the minute you do it in drive it
1:22:54
the thing locks the doors, and then she's back in and just done
1:22:58
is over panic and it's done. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of
1:23:02
pressure on
1:23:03
John C Dvorak: cars definitely going to sink. It weighs a ton
1:23:06
more than most. it'll
1:23:07
Adam Curry: sink right into the mud. Yeah, yeah. Okay. What
1:23:11
about Brunetti with a
1:23:12
John C Dvorak: cybernetic guy himself? cybertruck and I'm
1:23:14
thinking there's somebody could use the same trick to get rid of
1:23:18
him. Wow, be careful with these things.
1:23:22
Adam Curry: Why would you say that about a friend of the show?
1:23:26
No, I'm worried now. Why would you wasn't
1:23:30
John C Dvorak: worried before you ran this clip that anyone
1:23:33
who has a Tesla of any sort could be assassinated? Hey,
1:23:37
Adam Curry: Dana. I love you man. Don't worry about it. Don't
1:23:39
listen to John but don't drive that thing. It's a total penis.
1:23:44
Oh
1:23:44
John C Dvorak: water.
1:23:45
Adam Curry: Yeah. You know it. If it gets dirty if it gets bird
1:23:49
poop on it, you have to clean it off right away because it might
1:23:51
hurt. Oh,
1:23:52
John C Dvorak: just stay I think it was not mistaken. It's a
1:23:54
stainless steel. Body those that stainless steel is not the first
1:23:59
thing you learn in laboratory. Stainless steel is not
1:24:02
stainless.
1:24:05
Adam Curry: Just briefly on them on the AI scam. headline, Sam
1:24:12
Altman wants $7 trillion.
1:24:15
John C Dvorak: Yeah, five to seven. Yes. Here.
1:24:17
Adam Curry: Here's what was interesting about this AI crap.
1:24:21
Each level up of a GPT. So now we're I guess we're at GPT four.
1:24:27
So to go to GPT five, so we can reach what do they call it?
1:24:32
Truly generative. Now what is the term autonomous AI whatever
1:24:36
it is, where it thinks for itself? Oh, yeah, that'll be the
1:24:39
day cost between 25 and 100 times the previous one. So and
1:24:48
So forget the compute power the amount of energy needed. GPC for
1:24:53
took 50 gigawatt hours of energy to train. So GPT five will need
1:25:00
Get 1500 gigawatt hours. What's this this green? It's not the
1:25:07
whole thing's a scam and He's smart. He's like I'm gonna go
1:25:10
Milby some chips, give me some money.
1:25:13
John C Dvorak: He's not gonna get anything soon. We're
1:25:14
Adam Curry: computing is next on deck, baby. I'm telling you,
1:25:17
it's falling apart. None of it works. You know, now they're
1:25:20
saying, Oh, the Microsoft thing is not all that great. It's not
1:25:24
all that great. And I think in general, there's moves now, to
1:25:30
get you know, to pressure Silicon Valley, you guys got to
1:25:33
start paying us more we want more lobbying money. And up
1:25:36
front and center is New York City Mayor Eric Adams,
1:25:39
Unknown: my fellow New Yorkers. This is a city built on
1:25:43
innovation and technology. Oh really pleased.
1:25:46
Adam Curry: We all time potholes and arrived yet and rats
1:25:49
Unknown: celebrate progress to the future. Even as we have
1:25:55
created jobs, opportunity and prosperity with new technology,
1:26:00
there have been unforeseen consequences and dangerous,
1:26:05
especially when it comes to social medias effect on the
1:26:09
mental health of our young people. Over the past decade, we
1:26:14
have seen just how addictive and overwhelming the online world
1:26:19
can be exposing children to content, they are not ready for
1:26:24
disrupting the educational process, and seriously damaging
1:26:28
their self esteem and wellbeing. Our most recent data found that
1:26:34
young people in New York City are experiencing anxiety,
1:26:38
hopelessness, and even attempted suicide rates we have never seen
1:26:43
before. And there is growing evidence that the power of
1:26:47
social media is a major cause. This is a serious problem that
1:26:53
must be addressed. Now. That is why earlier this morning, our
1:26:58
administration filed a lawsuit against the companies that own
1:27:02
five major social media platforms, Tik Tok, Instagram,
1:27:07
Facebook, Snapchat and YouTube. As we announced last month in
1:27:13
the State of the City address we must take action to protect our
1:27:17
children from harm online including the growing dangers
1:27:22
presented by social media give
1:27:24
Adam Curry: me money Give me money and this brings me to a
1:27:30
new exit strategy for you and I I believe I have found an exit
1:27:35
strategy that we can we can even involve the no agenda shop for
1:27:38
this I'm very excited about this. This is some new medical
1:27:43
research. I feel that that we have the insight we have the
1:27:50
knowledge we have certainly have the the testing grounds we have
1:27:55
a lot of people who can test our product and make sure it works.
1:28:00
This is a medical breakthrough. People
1:28:02
Unknown: struggling with depression may be able to ease
1:28:04
their symptoms with certain scents familiar smells help
1:28:08
trigger life memories assisting with depression recovery.
1:28:11
University of Pittsburgh neuroscientist and social
1:28:14
workers found sense were more effective than words to cue up
1:28:18
happy memories and reverse the negative thoughts cycle they
1:28:22
believe familiar memory triggering sense could play a
1:28:25
major role in aiding faster smoother depression healing
1:28:29
motors are so powerful because they engage the amygdala through
1:28:33
nerve connections. I'm
1:28:35
Adam Curry: thinking smells on a stick
1:28:39
John C Dvorak: this this brother come
1:28:41
Adam Curry: on. We can we can work with all kinds of we have
1:28:45
lavender blossoms we got lavender smells I'm this is what
1:28:50
an easy fix.
1:28:52
John C Dvorak: But this is called is called smell smell
1:28:54
Agra fee what is the doer? Stink therapy there's some word for
1:29:02
this. Steve been around for a while stink
1:29:04
Adam Curry: therapy I think therapy fragrance therapy. I'm
1:29:10
not sure what it would be somebody
1:29:12
John C Dvorak: in the troll room is should know right off the top
1:29:15
of their head what I'm talking about. I'm having aromatherapy
1:29:19
aromatherapy.
1:29:21
Yeah, so there's not new
1:29:22
Adam Curry: Yeah, but but the research is new. We can sell
1:29:25
diffusers. We it's the original no agenda, amygdala shrinkage
1:29:30
package. This product okay. Its product is the prime product I
1:29:37
John C Dvorak: feel about product. Yeah, that's true.
1:29:39
Adam Curry: We don't like product. I would like to play
1:29:41
one clip by Bobby The up. It's his latest campaign.
1:29:46
advertisement. It's not on television. By the way. Let's
1:29:50
just stop for a sec. Did you see his campaign? Do you see any of
1:29:54
the Superbowl Do you see his campaign and I
1:29:56
John C Dvorak: saw the ad and I will say this within the Add
1:30:00
there was a picture of the Kennedy the classic Kennedy 19.
1:30:04
I think it's 1960 or 64 bumper sticker, the Kennedy bumper
1:30:09
sticker guide, and that which is a very straight and very
1:30:13
straightforward looking bumper sticker I have, I believe about
1:30:17
100 of these things. I stored them away back in the day when I
1:30:21
was a little kid, and I still have them. Do you know where to
1:30:26
put them up for sale?
1:30:28
Adam Curry: Put your hands on them?
1:30:31
John C Dvorak: I believe I know where they are. Yes. Oh, and you
1:30:33
Adam Curry: save them? Since you were a little kid. You are a
1:30:35
true archivist. Jhansi No, oh, I'm so impressed. I
1:30:38
John C Dvorak: have these these stickers. And they're this.
1:30:40
They're classic Kennedy sticker. Now I would have preferred to
1:30:45
have like big collection of something else. But these these
1:30:47
are classics and there were in that ad. Excellent.
1:30:51
Adam Curry: By the way, there was no they did the Jesus ad.
1:30:55
Did you see the Jesus ad that
1:30:57
John C Dvorak: Jesus is us or whatever it is? Yeah. Does that
1:31:01
ad has been going around for a while?
1:31:02
Adam Curry: Well, I hadn't seen it. And it's all these AI of
1:31:05
like blatantly AI images. Here's the thing. So they have Jesus
1:31:10
washing everybody's feet trans person, and then the prostitute.
1:31:16
I'm sorry, the prostitute washed Jesus's feet. Jesus only washed
1:31:23
the apostles feets what who is behind this ad?
1:31:27
John C Dvorak: prostitutes.
1:31:32
Adam Curry: All right, Bobby, the up is a rather long clip.
1:31:35
And he plays I think it's a very smart one. I don't know if it
1:31:38
gets any play or not. But he is pulling out the black rock card,
1:31:44
which I think is
1:31:45
John C Dvorak: the Oh, yeah, this this is actually quite
1:31:47
good. I'm glad you got this.
1:31:48
Adam Curry: I think it's a good move. Because everybody across
1:31:51
the political spectrum hates Black Rock. I don't Yes. I don't
1:31:54
think it's true. When he says Blackrock owns it. And
1:31:57
BlackRock. Do they really own more than 10%? In any company?
1:32:01
John C Dvorak: They're pretty. They're their minority
1:32:03
shareholders, you know, with everything they own. Yeah, they
1:32:05
may own a company or two. But it's not what their style of
1:32:08
investing is. Exactly. They
1:32:10
Adam Curry: don't own it. But that doesn't matter, because
1:32:13
it's politics. What a politician lying. But I think it's very
1:32:17
effective. And it pretty much sums up 16 years of no agenda
1:32:22
and few minutes is a
1:32:24
Unknown: war that should have never happened. It's a war that
1:32:26
Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very,
1:32:30
very beneficial to Ukraine, and is the major thing they wanted.
1:32:34
John C Dvorak: Are you saying something? No, no, just the
1:32:37
noise in your own clip.
1:32:39
Adam Curry: Oh, God, this horrible
1:32:40
Unknown: was for us to keep NATO out of the Ukraine. The big
1:32:45
military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the
1:32:49
time. Why? Then that country has to conform its military
1:32:54
purchases, and NATO weapons specifications, which means
1:32:58
certain companies North Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General
1:33:03
Dynamics, Boeing and Lockheed it get a draft mark, to march 2022.
1:33:08
We committed 113 plane hours. Just give you an example, we
1:33:14
could have built a home for almost every homeless person in
1:33:17
this country. We then committed another 24 billion since two
1:33:22
months ago. And now President Biden is asking for another 60
1:33:25
million. But the big big expenses are gonna come after
1:33:28
the war. When we have to rebuild you have all the things that we
1:33:32
destroyed. Mitch McConnell was as and we really afford 30
1:33:37
million at UK isn't a worry, is really going to Ukraine is going
1:33:44
to American defense, nine o'clock version. So he just
1:33:49
admitted as a money laundering scheme. And who do you think oh,
1:33:53
is every one of those companies? So Tim Scott, during the
1:33:58
Republican debate, said don't worry, it's not a gift to
1:34:03
Ukraine. It's alone. Raise your hand if you think that that laws
1:34:07
are getting paid back? Of course, it's not. So why do they
1:34:11
call it alone? Because it they call it a loan, they can impose
1:34:15
loan conditions? And what are the loan conditions that we have
1:34:18
imposed on number one of extreme austerity program. So if you're
1:34:23
poor and you great, you're going to be poor forever. Number two,
1:34:27
most important Ukraine has to put all of its assets up for
1:34:32
sale to multinational corporations, including all of
1:34:36
its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe.
1:34:40
New grant there's in 1000 Years War, fought over that lenders
1:34:44
richest farmland in the world is the breadbasket of Europe.
1:34:47
500,000 kids homos, Ukrainians have died to keep that planned
1:34:53
as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn't know about this
1:34:57
on condition. They've already sold the river sentiment. The
1:35:01
buyers were Dupont, Cargill, and Monsanto. What do you think owns
1:35:07
all of those companies? Got BlackRock? And then in December,
1:35:12
President Biden gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And
1:35:18
who do you think got that guy contract? shows you're doing
1:35:23
this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know
1:35:26
anymore. Because they know that they can get away with it. And
1:35:29
how do they know that because they haven't strategy. And as
1:35:34
all those strategies, which is they keep us at war with each
1:35:38
other. It keeps us hating on each other, to keep the
1:35:42
Republicans and Democrats fighting each other and black
1:35:45
against white and all these divisions that they saw.
1:35:49
Adam Curry: There you go, that like is PMS that he carries
1:35:52
around with him everywhere. It's not true. I just saw the
1:35:57
contract didn't go to black rock.
1:36:00
John C Dvorak: So let's go I'm just looking at just randomly
1:36:03
grabbed Monsanto's
1:36:05
Adam Curry: list of shareholders ownership structure. Sure.
1:36:09
John C Dvorak: So we have Blackrock death for different
1:36:12
divisions of Blackrock owned the following percentage of what
1:36:19
there's another one that wishes minor, there's four okay,
1:36:22
there's four divisions, different parts of Blackrock
1:36:25
men, they got all kinds of little comput little bits and
1:36:28
pieces. There's
1:36:28
Adam Curry: no one said they weren't good. I mean, they know
1:36:30
what the rock institutional
1:36:32
John C Dvorak: trust the big boy wants 2.2% of Monsanto, wow,
1:36:37
Blackrock wishes a lot. BlackRock fund advisors another
1:36:42
little spin of subset it owns 1.24, which brings it up to 3.6.
1:36:48
BlackRock Group, Ltd owns point seven 4% and BlackRock advisors
1:36:55
owns point one, five. So maybe 4% of Monsanto is held by
1:37:02
Blackrock so this is not owning in the sense that the public
1:37:06
would see it. Oh, by the way, Black Rock Japan wins point one
1:37:11
one that's a good one. They own a lot of stock, but it's like
1:37:16
they you know, and they have a lot of influence because that's
1:37:18
a lot of voters when it comes to the voting stock. But that's not
1:37:23
the same as we think of when we think of somebody owning it.
1:37:27
They own for it say they own if they own to 5% That's still just
1:37:31
5%
1:37:32
Adam Curry: How about Vanguard because I think that that's the
1:37:35
real you know, Blackrock gets all the bad press
1:37:40
John C Dvorak: Oh, they're just not even on this list with
1:37:42
Monsanto. Oh,
1:37:43
Adam Curry: I have I'm looking at Vanguards when is this from I
1:37:49
don't have I don't have to Oh, this 2013 I'll bet you Vanguard
1:37:54
owns more that's what all the politics all the politicians are
1:37:58
in Vanguard. That's what they all get in on then the funny
1:38:02
thing is that you just have you know this you just get it on the
1:38:05
bonds. I love the inflation report. That made sense. Yeah,
1:38:12
everybody inflation Oh, it's not going down. Mm hmm. What are the
1:38:19
chances I bet you they're going to raise rates this year.
1:38:23
John C Dvorak: Nobody sees that. That's what they should do.
1:38:28
Yeah, nobody nobody sees that and they don't expect it and
1:38:31
they're waiting for more rate cuts.
1:38:35
Adam Curry: Well, the jobs report has been pulled apart by
1:38:38
all kinds of people.
1:38:40
John C Dvorak: And my favorite part of the jobs report pull
1:38:42
apart was the fact that most of the jobs that are are from been
1:38:47
given to illegal aliens well there's there's that breakout
1:38:52
Yeah,
1:38:53
Adam Curry: that that government jobs and a lot of people got a
1:38:55
second or third job. Right. And I'm seeing like the restaurant
1:38:59
industry every young person I know in the restaurant industry
1:39:02
has to get a second job because the hours are being cut. I don't
1:39:08
know if people just not going out to eat I don't know. It's
1:39:11
too expensive. The
1:39:11
John C Dvorak: restaurant business right now is not a
1:39:14
business. I'd want to be out good. Not good
1:39:16
Adam Curry: or, or the medical device business who are striking
1:39:21
back. They're striking back at ozempic. Here's a fun little
1:39:26
report on the medical
1:39:27
Unknown: watch bypassing diabetes for the long haul.
1:39:30
medical reporter Dina bears here with some new insight Dino
1:39:33
Florida
1:39:33
son Pat bypass surgery helps patients lose weight and shed a
1:39:37
diabetes diagnosis. Now researchers at the American
1:39:40
College of Surgeons say even if the weight comes back diabetes
1:39:44
stays away. looking at data from nearly 300 people treated at
1:39:48
Mayo Clinic from 2008 to 2017. Doctors found gastric bypass
1:39:53
improves long term type two diabetes remission 75% of bypass
1:39:58
patients did not see their diabetes return. And for those
1:40:02
who gained every bit of weight back 60% still remained diabetes
1:40:06
free.
1:40:07
Adam Curry: Yeah, stop with the ozempic people get your get your
1:40:10
LapBand
1:40:10
John C Dvorak: get you get good get out of the operating table.
1:40:14
That's right.
1:40:15
Adam Curry: That's right. And there's no ZMP class action now.
1:40:18
That is there's ramping up. And this was really I was surprised
1:40:24
by by this report from ABC. I guess they're not getting enough
1:40:29
ad money. US government
1:40:30
Unknown: officials say they're looking into the practices of
1:40:32
powerful middlemen in relation to a critical shortage of
1:40:35
generic drugs. The FTC is focusing on drug distributors
1:40:39
and other companies in the supply chain that buy medicines
1:40:42
for hospitals, those middlemen are accused of drive driving
1:40:45
prices higher.
1:40:48
Adam Curry: I'm talking a little bit nasty. This money, so about
1:40:51
money. I do have a clip here from Janet Yellen, who is very
1:40:59
confident about our economy, despite the inflation, which of
1:41:03
course is because our president is on the ball. We
1:41:07
Unknown: hit the road with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
1:41:09
and the battleground state of Michigan, where the economy is
1:41:12
one of voters top concerns do you think the President can win
1:41:16
in Michigan in November?
1:41:18
Well, I certainly hope so. I think the economy is going to be
1:41:23
good and strong
1:41:24
inflation Rose 3.1%. In January more than expected driving the
1:41:29
higher prices, car insurance surged 21% Over the last year,
1:41:33
rent has risen 6% and daycare costs are up 5%. Are you and
1:41:37
President Biden happy with where inflation is right now? Super
1:41:41
happy?
1:41:41
Well, look, we know that Americans are experiencing
1:41:46
discomfort because important prices risk are higher than they
1:41:54
were pre pandemic. But what I think is really important is
1:41:58
that wages have gone up along with causes. So people are
1:42:04
better off than they were pre pandemic.
1:42:08
Another hurdle for the Biden campaign voter concerns about
1:42:11
his age, again, a focus after Special Counsel Robert hars
1:42:15
report questioning the President's mental fitness it
1:42:18
called President Biden a well meaning elderly man with a poor
1:42:22
memory. Do you agree with that?
1:42:24
I absolutely disagree with that. They work very closely with
1:42:28
President Biden.
1:42:29
Adam Curry: I disagree. He's an elderly man with a crappy
1:42:32
memory. And
1:42:33
Unknown: I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at the top
1:42:37
of his game with
1:42:41
another sign of trouble for President Biden here in
1:42:44
Michigan, a liberal group originally affiliated and
1:42:46
launched by Senator Bernie Sanders back in 2016, is urging
1:42:50
Michiganders to vote uncommitted to the upcoming Democratic
1:42:54
primary because of President Biden's position on the Israel
1:42:57
Hamas war. Meantime, Secretary Yellen tells us the
1:43:01
administration needs to do everything it can to, quote,
1:43:04
bring this tragic conflict to an end.
1:43:08
Adam Curry: I'm wondering if you saw the Wall Street Journal
1:43:11
article?
1:43:12
John C Dvorak: I mean, first of all, when I say that was a non
1:43:14
sequitur, the story starts one place and ends another Well, no,
1:43:19
I haven't actually read the article, but I have I'm very
1:43:23
familiar with it. But what is trying to do? Yes,
1:43:25
Adam Curry: well, the headline was, I'm ready to serve. Yeah.
1:43:30
Now it was the art the interview was done. Two days before the
1:43:36
unfortunate report came out. Yes, supposedly, this what they
1:43:41
say? I think is she said, I'm ready to serve any internet. She
1:43:46
may
1:43:47
John C Dvorak: have had a clue that district widower had to say
1:43:49
she may have been on top of the web ready to serve nonsense.
1:43:53
West
1:43:54
Adam Curry: Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey is now
1:43:57
calling for vice president Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th
1:44:01
amendment. Boy it would be it would be such a year first
1:44:07
wouldn't it be wouldn't be
1:44:08
John C Dvorak: great. She's not gonna do it. She's gutless.
1:44:13
Overnight, we listen to anybody other than these guys are gonna
1:44:16
have a lot of explaining to do if they do anything because like
1:44:19
Mayorkas was on Meet the Press last Sunday. I don't clip
1:44:22
unfortunately, because he's what a doofus. That guy is. And he's
1:44:26
glib, and he's arrogant and he's patronizing and ease. He says,
1:44:32
oh, Biden sharpest attack. I had to meet with him all the time.
1:44:36
I've never met a man if he asked the right questions. He grills
1:44:39
me shuckers attack i i wish you could see it. Axios
1:44:42
Adam Curry: had a huge report about all the problems going
1:44:46
going on in the background. In the administration, let me see
1:44:53
infighting. I'm bringing it up here. Exclusive. tu tu tu tu tu
1:44:58
how Biden botched the border Nice, infighting, turmoil, and
1:45:05
apparently is according to Axios Biden's are grunting around
1:45:09
yelling at everybody.
1:45:11
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that I think might be true.
1:45:14
Adam Curry: He's just running around yelling. Everybody
1:45:16
doesn't know why he's yelling. But it's okay. Everything's so
1:45:20
good. You just heard from our treasury secretary. Wages are
1:45:23
up. Everybody's happy.
1:45:25
Unknown: Let's start with the flight attendants today. Roughly
1:45:27
5000 walked picket lines at about 30 airports nationwide
1:45:32
including Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, San
1:45:36
Francisco, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Dallas. The three
1:45:39
unions are in contract talks with big airlines Alaska,
1:45:43
Southwest United JetBlue frontier, Wisconsin and American
1:45:46
Airlines. They are demanding better pay and working
1:45:49
conditions. This was only a picket today not a strike so
1:45:53
flight should have still been fully staffed. Meanwhile, Uber
1:45:57
Lyft and some delivery drivers are planning to strike tomorrow
1:46:01
in about 10 cities and targeting airports. They're also demanding
1:46:05
better pay and improved drivers safety luster
1:46:08
Adam Curry: those wages the great everything's up
1:46:10
everybody's happy. Yeah, people may be feeling a little
1:46:14
discomfort the it's so sad that we just I mean it's great for us
1:46:19
because we have a job but the news media that just so bad.
1:46:23
They are they're bad really bad. Although the UK finally relented
1:46:28
overnight
1:46:29
Unknown: Britain's economy fell into a recession in the second
1:46:32
half of last year. Oh no official data released Thursday
1:46:35
showed gross domestic product contracted by a worse than
1:46:38
expected naught point 3% In the three months to December follows
1:46:43
another decline over the period between July and September of
1:46:47
naught point 1%. Britain's Office for National Statistics
1:46:51
said the queue for falling GDP was the biggest since the first
1:46:54
quarter of 2021. In the depths of the health crisis.
1:46:59
Adam Curry: Yeah. I love that the health crisis. It's just
1:47:03
called this the health crisis you mean COVID The COVID scam
1:47:06
demic Richie Sunak wears a habit here, Richie Sunak did a town
1:47:13
hall which he will regret for a long time. Because Sunak where's
1:47:20
this clip? Here it is. Rishi, Rishi, I say Richie. Rishi,
1:47:24
Rishi Sunak, did a town hall. And all of a sudden now, you got
1:47:29
to kind of tune in because the guys from Scotland, we
1:47:31
John C Dvorak: have to remind some of some of the people that
1:47:34
listen to him produce the show that who he is, he's the Prime
1:47:37
Adam Curry: Minister, Prime Minister, UK, married into a
1:47:41
billionaire family. What's that?
1:47:43
John C Dvorak: What's the set said,
1:47:44
Adam Curry: you know, what's the name of the company that his
1:47:45
father in law started the company. So Rishi, Rishi, who
1:47:51
was placed there after they kicked out, Teresa. Remember
1:47:56
that they crashed the crash the guilts now You're out. You're
1:48:01
dumb, put in this guy, this rich guy he'll know. So Rishi gets
1:48:06
accosted by a man claiming to be vaccine injured. And it's not
1:48:13
just him. There's another one in the audience. And of course, we
1:48:17
cannot have this, the news model has to jump in. And he has to
1:48:23
stop this nonsense. But it's worth listening to the absolute
1:48:29
frustration and despair in this man Scottish accented voice.
1:48:34
Unknown: My name is John Wall. And I'm one of the COVID vaccine
1:48:38
angels in this country. I want you to look at him hydrous you
1:48:42
shouldn't after one year, look at the pain, the trauma and the
1:48:46
gray I have in my eyes. We'll be left with no help at all. Not
1:48:52
only am I on here, this vaccine injured there's another man over
1:48:55
there whose life's been ruined, but I COVID-19 vaccine. I know
1:48:59
people who have lost legs, amputations. I know people with
1:49:03
heart conditions like myself rescue. So why are the people
1:49:07
who are in charge? Who told us all to do the right thing of
1:49:11
laughters Altero unless me and the 1000s and 10s of 1000s. And
1:49:17
there's plenty to draw, especially soon i Lumia in the
1:49:21
eye. When did you gonna start to do the right thing that over
1:49:24
50,000 people have had an adverse reaction to that
1:49:27
vaccine.
1:49:28
Okay. John, thank you very much indeed
1:49:31
for your question.
1:49:35
You've, you've made a really strong point on Prime Minister
1:49:39
John Bula. On very sorry to hear about your personal
1:49:43
circumstances and you said someone over here also seems to
1:49:46
have suffered by the similar similar thing. Now, obviously, I
1:49:50
don't know about the individual situation that you're in.
1:49:56
We are silence. We are the most stylish people in that punchy
1:50:01
press because my story in the press the government for comment
1:50:05
bit and they made
1:50:18
you raised some very valid points. I'm sure what I've got
1:50:21
to say. So we haven't got your microphone. As you know. I'm
1:50:26
sure we can raise your points with the prime minister at a
1:50:29
later date. Yes.
1:50:30
Adam Curry: And that was the end of it. carted off. Yeah. later
1:50:34
date. Look me in the eye. Rishi Sunak. I like that. I like it.
1:50:39
Look me in the eye. It's tragic. Things are so bad. Remember,
1:50:45
Rachel Dolezal?
1:50:47
John C Dvorak: How bad are they?
1:50:48
Adam Curry: Do you remember Rachel? Rachel Dolezal?
1:50:52
John C Dvorak: Who wasn't she in Texas now teaching kindergarten
1:50:55
or something
1:50:55
Adam Curry: where she Do you remember Rachel Dolezal? Of
1:50:59
course, we
1:50:59
John C Dvorak: everyone remembers Rachel Dolezal. She's
1:51:01
the one who identifies as black. Yes,
1:51:04
Adam Curry: things are so bad that Rachel dole is all now has
1:51:07
an only fans page.
1:51:10
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I understand that. This is but
1:51:12
it's not that she's stripping or anything? Is she? Yes.
1:51:16
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. So there's if you can't even if you
1:51:21
identify as black and you can't even get a gig, you got to go to
1:51:24
only fans. This is bad. This is very, very bad. Bad doesn't
1:51:32
matter, because we'll have a good news segment at the end of
1:51:34
the show. We'll bring you right back up.
1:51:39
John C Dvorak: Well, Rachel Dolezal having a only fans page
1:51:42
is probably good news for some people.
1:51:45
Adam Curry: It's not good news. It's bad. Right? know, it's like
1:51:50
someone sent me this note and said, I'm attaching a picture.
1:51:54
And luckily he didn't attach a picture. And I said do not I
1:51:57
said you didn't attach it. Don't worry. Don't resend it. I'm good
1:52:01
to go. I believe you. I believe you say I don't know that was
1:52:05
before the show and then I didn't know Okay, didn't
1:52:07
John C Dvorak: look let's go to the let's go to the battle
1:52:09
between Texas in the United States USA versus Texas. Yes,
1:52:13
Adam Curry: this is a big one. We're still on deck all
1:52:15
happening in Eagle Pass one little swath of land that has a
1:52:18
fence
1:52:19
Unknown: 45 US lawmakers scientists amicus brief this
1:52:22
week supporting Texas in a legal case against the Justice
1:52:25
Department. The Biden administration is suing Texas
1:52:28
over a new law known as Senate Bill four. Governor Greg Abbott
1:52:32
signed it into law in December. Now Senate Bill four gives Texas
1:52:36
police the authority to arrest illegal immigrants for
1:52:38
trespassing once they entered the Lone Star State. Now the
1:52:42
Justice Department argues that Texas can't do that because
1:52:45
arresting immigrants falls under federal authority. But
1:52:49
representative Jody Arrington, who leads the 45 lawmakers
1:52:52
disagrees watch. Not
1:52:54
only is this President and Secretary failing to provide for
1:52:59
a common defense, and willfully disregarding the laws of the
1:53:04
land. They are obstructing our state's effort to protect our
1:53:11
citizens and defend our border.
1:53:13
Meanwhile, the new numbers show that the month of January saw
1:53:16
over 176,000 immigrant encounters at the southern
1:53:20
border. That's more than any January ever before breaking the
1:53:24
previous record set in 2023. With nearly 160,000 encounters.
1:53:29
Adam Curry: That's right. That's why wages are going up. It's,
1:53:33
you know, he mentioned amicus brief. There's there's been an
1:53:39
update from our constitutional lawyer, Rob, who has been
1:53:43
tracking them as men, Missouri versus Biden case, Supreme
1:53:47
Court. And that's, you know, that's basically where the
1:53:49
administration was threatening Twitter and other social media
1:53:53
companies to take down accounts and posts etc. And our
1:53:59
constitutional lawyer said, hey, you know, I'm very happy to
1:54:02
write an amicus brief for the no agenda show. And I said, Well,
1:54:07
why don't we do this? Because it's kind of cool to have the no
1:54:10
agenda show, you know, registered with the Supreme
1:54:13
Court. I don't know. He says, All right,
1:54:17
John C Dvorak: as I just explained it a little more
1:54:19
detail.
1:54:20
Adam Curry: What do you mean,
1:54:21
John C Dvorak: what would the brief be regarding?
1:54:24
Adam Curry: Well, it would well, this is the point is we have to
1:54:26
we have to come up with a reason to say yeah, you know, this is
1:54:30
wrong podcast go podcasting. That's that's the basic idea.
1:54:33
John C Dvorak: I see you go podcasting angle.
1:54:39
Adam Curry: We could put it a go podcasting angle and so much,
1:54:42
but it would be the no agenda show with me. I
1:54:44
John C Dvorak: would like to have I think we should go ahead
1:54:47
with this. Okay,
1:54:48
Adam Curry: here we go. And how do we
1:54:51
John C Dvorak: don't have an end because I'd like to have more
1:54:53
clarification. Okay. That would help.
1:54:56
Adam Curry: He said as for no agenda amicus brief one he this
1:55:00
He writes the meat one brackets. If a case is important to y'all,
1:55:04
this is, please don't write that in our advocate. If a case is
1:55:09
important to y'all, why not have your position considered by the
1:55:12
justices sitting on the highest court in the land and possibly
1:55:15
get a mention somewhere? Yes. Sometimes an amicus brief moves
1:55:18
the needle making a difference on an important case. That's
1:55:22
his, that's his his MO.
1:55:25
John C Dvorak: Okay, so we need to find some cases that we want
1:55:27
to throw throw some amicus briefs into, I think
1:55:30
Adam Curry: we have we do more than one. I think we have plenty
1:55:32
of producers who were who had post taken down who were shadow
1:55:37
banned. I mean, I think we have an entire audience filled with
1:55:40
people who had that happen. So maybe we take a couple of those.
1:55:45
Okay, well,
1:55:45
John C Dvorak: let's just discuss this in in our, we're
1:55:50
not going to have a meeting. I'm not gonna be in or after show.
1:55:54
Post mortem.
1:55:55
Adam Curry: I don't want a meeting. That does not do
1:55:58
meetings. I do want to hear your series of clips about meta
1:56:04
versus AI.
1:56:05
John C Dvorak: Yes, these I put off from the last show this meta
1:56:08
versus AI versus PBS. For some reason I like these because
1:56:12
there's a there's because there's some there's some twists
1:56:17
in clip two and three. So let's start with clip one meta versus
1:56:21
AI versus PBS
1:56:23
Unknown: earlier this week as the 2024 election campaigns
1:56:26
picked up steam, Mehta announced it would start labeling AI
1:56:29
generated images that appear on Facebook, Instagram and threads
1:56:34
to help users better judge what they're seeing. In December an
1:56:37
advocacy group called Free Press said meta YouTube and ex have
1:56:42
rolled back a total of 17 policies intended to protect
1:56:45
against hate speech and misinformation.
1:56:49
Adam Curry: Oh, that's very confusing. What exactly is
1:56:52
John C Dvorak: another one of these that we're seeing more and
1:56:54
more of these if there was one earlier in the show these what I
1:56:56
consider to be an non sequitur. Opening to some topic? Well, how
1:57:04
do you get from from the labeling AI generated images
1:57:11
which I've starting to see the people labeling I'm not labeling
1:57:15
as AI, they're labeling the sources wall E or whatever those
1:57:18
things are?
1:57:19
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Dolly, Dolly, Dolly.
1:57:22
Unknown: Wall is the movie.
1:57:24
John C Dvorak: Wall the AI I love it, Wally. And so So then
1:57:31
he goes from that to hate speech? I don't know. I think it
1:57:34
must have to do with, I guess. Ai images in memes, which tend
1:57:40
to be I think most memes are hate speech and be defined as
1:57:44
hate speech because they're always slam and some just bad
1:57:48
comedy, most of them. So here we go. It's now here we got clip
1:57:52
two and I have the word dud written. Okay.
1:57:56
Unknown: The group also said layoffs if the three companies
1:57:58
make it harder to enforce the safeguards that remain. Katie
1:58:02
Harbeth is the chief global affairs officer at duco, which
1:58:05
is a technology consulting firm. She's also a former public
1:58:08
policy director at Facebook. Katie, this announcement from
1:58:12
Mehta how big a deal is it? How helpful is this going to be? And
1:58:17
is it enough?
1:58:19
So I think that this is just one of many important steps that to
1:58:25
take when thinking about safeguarding elections, not only
1:58:27
here in the United States, but around the globe. And so we are
1:58:31
facing new challenges with AI as well as existing challenges that
1:58:35
have been around for a long time, such as missing
1:58:38
disinformation, foreign interference, transparency
1:58:41
around political ads. And I think one of the challenges as
1:58:44
we go into this cycle is that that question of whether or not
1:58:47
these platforms are prepared is we just don't know because they
1:58:51
are also putting in a lot of vestment. They're making a lot
1:58:54
of changes, as you mentioned, but we also don't know the
1:58:57
twists and turns that await for us over the course of this next
1:59:00
year. And so the real question, the real proof of this will be
1:59:03
how these companies act as these different elections happen. And
1:59:07
as we see different forms of nefarious interference happen.
1:59:11
Nefarious
1:59:12
Adam Curry: interference, you nefarious
1:59:15
John C Dvorak: interference. Hmm. So what is she talking
1:59:18
about?
1:59:20
Adam Curry: That Epstein pictures are coming out and it
1:59:22
has to be deemed AI
1:59:25
John C Dvorak: you know, I started I'm not a big fan of
1:59:27
this thesis as yours at least initially. But as as this
1:59:31
continues in like our stories like this, I'm starting to warm
1:59:34
up to it.
1:59:35
Adam Curry: It will if we don't send more money to Israel is
1:59:38
going to happen. The Epstein pictures are coming is coming
1:59:41
that this has been going on for this op has been going on for a
1:59:45
long time. It's time to lay mail. Yes, they need to lay some
1:59:50
smack down and show some pictures.
1:59:53
John C Dvorak: But something's coming up at eight. Let's go to
1:59:55
part three with the witch I have to comment on this one as stooge
1:59:59
does Just
2:00:00
Unknown: one of the biggest open questions for me. Many of the
2:00:02
some of the platforms such as meta have actually announced
2:00:05
things that they're doing for the upcoming Indonesian
2:00:08
elections for the Mexico elections coming up. But they're
2:00:11
just not being as transparent about that. And what that means
2:00:14
around the globe. Traditionally, we have seen just a lot more
2:00:17
time, money and effort put into the English language into
2:00:21
elections in the US in the EU. And I am worried that so much
2:00:25
attention is going to get sucked into those elections that we
2:00:28
will forget about these elections all around the globe,
2:00:31
that will have just as much impact in terms of the future of
2:00:34
the global world order and how we handle issues on everything
2:00:38
from from climate change to other geopolitical issues.
2:00:42
Adam Curry: Brother, she had to bring that in I like, I like the
2:00:46
political stuff, and then you bring in climate change. Yeah,
2:00:49
John C Dvorak: always has to bring it in. It's no good. So
2:00:53
those three clips were was was a disappointment. Linda, I want to
2:01:00
run off this clip though. This is I've been saving this for
2:01:03
weeks and weeks because we have not discussed it but this is
2:01:05
something that we did discuss probably two or three years ago,
2:01:11
maybe even pre COVID. Wow. Because there was some shooting
2:01:15
in Slovenia or something and then
2:01:18
Adam Curry: yes, the kids the parents got convicted.
2:01:22
John C Dvorak: And the parents in Slovenia got it. Well, it
2:01:24
looks like we're heading in the same direction. This is the
2:01:26
Michigan mom on trial. This is a democracy now clip but I don't
2:01:31
think it's Amy so don't play anything. And this is this is a
2:01:35
big deal. That is really nice. still flying a little bit under
2:01:39
the radar.
2:01:40
Unknown: And Michigan a jury has convicted Jennifer crumbly of
2:01:43
four counts of involuntary manslaughter for a deadly school
2:01:47
shooting carried out by her 15 year old son at Oxford High
2:01:51
School and 2021 Prosecutors argued Crumbley had a duty to
2:01:55
prevent her son from going on the rampage which killed four
2:01:59
students in what was Michigan's deadliest school shooting.
2:02:02
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah, I
2:02:05
John C Dvorak: saw that. Going under trial to the get and both
2:02:08
parents are gonna get both parents for the kid shooting.
2:02:11
This is I don't want to sound like a fraud Yes, I always sound
2:02:20
like a fuddy duddy that's beside the point. I think this is the
2:02:23
go after the black Americans. Oh, they have more kids like in
2:02:29
Oakland. There's murders going on all the time and as lot of
2:02:33
juveniles doing them I think they're going to start going
2:02:37
after Black dad to take find some real estate a white example
2:02:41
is do the white man first. Wow. Let's run this one down and see
2:02:44
what happens is anybody feeding back but negatively? No.
2:02:47
Nobody's feeding back negative. This looks good. We're not even
2:02:50
getting much coverage. You think you get more coverage than this?
2:02:52
Okay, let's start going after black parents for their wayward
2:02:56
kids shooting up to place in Oakland and elsewhere.
2:03:01
Interesting theory. Run that one by moe.
2:03:06
Adam Curry: I certainly will. And meanwhile in Chicago
2:03:11
whatever you do, let's let's let's take away tools. not
2:03:16
renewing Chicago is a multi million dollar contract with
2:03:19
sound thinking the company that runs the gunshot detection
2:03:23
system has long been on the mind of Brandon Johnson. Even before
2:03:28
he was elected mayor these
2:03:29
Unknown: tools have proven not to work can find a whole lot of
2:03:32
things we can spend $2 million on just
2:03:34
Adam Curry: months into his young administration. The
2:03:37
Mayor's office says it mistakenly electronically signed
2:03:40
a contract extension with a company that runs through Friday
2:03:44
Tuesday. He made good on a campaign promise, saying he
2:03:48
would end the contract but he wants to keep the gunfire
2:03:51
detection system online through the Democratic National
2:03:54
Convention set for Chicago in late August. Now city leaders
2:03:59
are hearing sound thinking may not agree to the one time
2:04:02
extension and shut the system down tomorrow. The system has
2:04:06
been the target of progressives for years, many agreeing with
2:04:10
the mayor that it is ineffective and leads to over policing. They
2:04:14
cite studies that show many gunshots detected don't lead to
2:04:18
arrests or prosecutions. Supporters however, question why
2:04:22
the city would want to get rid of any tool that helps Police
2:04:25
Police Superintendent Larry Snelling has made similar
2:04:28
arguments the company that own ShotSpotter sent a statement
2:04:31
last night that didn't mention whether it would stay with the
2:04:34
city through the DNC or shut it down tomorrow. It did however,
2:04:37
say it is proud of the work that it's done here in Chicago over
2:04:41
the past seven years and has helped located hundreds of
2:04:44
gunshot victims when no 911 call came in. It's very interesting.
2:04:49
The mayor made a campaign promise which was part of defund
2:04:53
the police. I think 40% of Chicago's budget goes towards
2:04:56
policing which is a lot certainly for the results.
2:04:59
They're getting At least the the the media results because most
2:05:03
of most of the gang warfare takes place in a very small
2:05:07
area. But the mayor said yeah, I want to keep it through the DNC
2:05:14
because it doesn't work. Yes,
2:05:16
John C Dvorak: I thought the same illogic was just stood out
2:05:19
like a sore thumb. It doesn't work, but we need it for the
2:05:22
moment. Yeah.
2:05:24
Adam Curry: Bam. Yeah,
2:05:25
John C Dvorak: it doesn't work. It doesn't work. The thing is it
2:05:28
does work. I think it works. I know they have it in Oakland, it
2:05:31
seems to do some good but Oakland Oakland Police was a
2:05:37
defund operation to they defunded the police and put in a
2:05:41
week District Attorney. So you wouldn't get anyone. So people
2:05:45
go left and right. And so they have all these issues, including
2:05:48
the NAACP coming out saying, hey, OLC was gonna do something.
2:05:51
And this is like an organization that, that, you know, that
2:05:54
rarely comes out and says anything about anything. At
2:05:57
least when it comes to like policing? Yeah.
2:06:00
Adam Curry: So I would say Yeah. As like we had that shooting in
2:06:05
Kansas City during the the Chiefs Super Bowl celebrations.
2:06:11
Yeah. Everyone's baffled like, Oh, we don't know how this could
2:06:15
happen if they've arrested four people. Ah, wrong skin color.
2:06:20
Ah, ah, we can't the How can I mean, Biden did his best. You
2:06:27
know, he tried to say, oh, you know, the gun problem gun
2:06:33
problem. here and let's see, I have a clip
2:06:37
Unknown: of your reaction to that
2:06:38
shooting in Kansas City. As the president and his wife admired
2:06:42
messages of love on the White House law love questions over a
2:06:45
fatal shooting struck a sharp contrast. As is often the case
2:06:50
after such tragedies in the United States, Joe Biden
2:06:53
released a statement condemning the violence and urging action
2:06:57
on gun reform. He called on Americans to make their voice
2:07:01
heard in Congress to finally act to ban assault weapons to limit
2:07:05
high capacity magazines and strengthen background checks.
2:07:09
Those sentiments were echoed by Vice President Kamala Harris,
2:07:13
the reality of it is. members of legislature in the United States
2:07:23
has had the courage to act with real.
2:07:27
Adam Curry: Now, what I find interesting about this
2:07:29
particular news clip is Kamala Harris is stepping out of Marine
2:07:34
One. What does she get to ride in the chopper? What is she
2:07:38
doing this? That's not typical. I
2:07:40
John C Dvorak: didn't know we have a secret service guy that
2:07:42
that was one of our show, producers. And he brings up a
2:07:46
lot of interesting points. He brought some some mistakes we
2:07:49
made last time, including the fact that when I was criticized
2:07:53
critical, Joe Biden, when the soldiers came back into into
2:07:59
Dover, Delaware airport,
2:08:00
Adam Curry: the other day was dignified transfers, the
2:08:03
dignified transfers,
2:08:04
John C Dvorak: it turns out, the deaths were they always take
2:08:06
place, so we should know that so anyone's saying else otherwise,
2:08:09
it's full of crap. And we and the families are never there at
2:08:14
the air at the airplane. They're inside the chapel where it's
2:08:17
private, and they don't take pictures right. He made that
2:08:19
made us clear that out and we appreciate that, but he wouldn't
2:08:23
know about this particular situation what's going on? And
2:08:26
how about the other shooting that nobody wants to talk about
2:08:30
at all? Which is the transsexual dude Woman Yeah, I'm gonna went
2:08:35
into skeans opera operation it was gunned down by people
2:08:40
carrying well I'm
2:08:41
Adam Curry: going to push back a little bit on that because I'm
2:08:43
not immediately was it's a trans person which would be par for
2:08:48
the course with the church shootings. I actually have a
2:08:53
clip Hold on a second cause cuz it was more related to Israel
2:09:03
John C Dvorak: we don't even know because the guys girl guy
2:09:06
whatever it is. Yeah, he's dead and we do we do we do this shit
2:09:10
Yeah. Palestinian sticker on the N stock. We
2:09:13
Adam Curry: know that. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
2:09:15
John C Dvorak: But why are they shooting up that church? What's
2:09:17
it got to do with Palestine?
2:09:18
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sure it has to do with it's a family matter.
2:09:22
John C Dvorak: It's not going to get go anywhere because it was
2:09:26
one of those situations where a couple of guys carrying guns in
2:09:31
the church. Stop this from getting any worse. This is
2:09:35
Adam Curry: this is not a good idea to go into any church
2:09:37
trying to shoot anything up these days. We're not in Texas.
2:09:40
No, no, no. Everybody's packing everybody the women are packing.
2:09:47
This is no but it's very sad. Very sad that this happened. I
2:09:52
mean, what's going on people stop it. You know, but she had a
2:09:55
she he whatever this person was had a had a band I don't know
2:10:00
how you can buy the gun was apparently purchased legally but
2:10:04
they had a ban since 2015 2016. No, it doesn't go anywhere. None
2:10:14
of it.
2:10:16
John C Dvorak: So Lloyd Austin's back again from the hospital
2:10:19
once again. Yeah, he had I think the emergency procedure what
2:10:22
happened he had they won't say but he's fine. He's got his
2:10:26
voice back. Of course his voice could easily be altered through
2:10:30
nefarious means because he's still just doing zoom calls and
2:10:33
he's seated. So I think he went back in because I think they got
2:10:37
the right guy, but he's still not tall enough so they keep
2:10:40
putting him in zoom meetings so you can see how tall he is. And
2:10:43
I think they're operating I think he's getting those leg
2:10:46
operations where they can add like two or three inches to your
2:10:48
by Nathan in your calves.
2:10:51
Unknown: Moon Landing was Secretary of Defense Lloyd
2:10:53
Austin hosted Hold on a second. There
2:10:56
Adam Curry: we go. Let's just operation everybody. Sure.
2:11:03
John C Dvorak: Operation that people have done.
2:11:07
Unknown: Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin hosted a virtual
2:11:10
meeting on Ukraine today. That's just one day after he was
2:11:13
released from the hospital following treatment for prostate
2:11:16
cancer. The Pentagon chief said he's in good condition he vowed
2:11:20
to support Ukraine even as future funding remains in doubt.
2:11:23
I plan to be in person with you today in Brussels, but I had to
2:11:27
return to the hospital for non surgical procedures. I'm in good
2:11:30
condition, and my cancer prognosis remains excellent and
2:11:34
I'm really grateful. For all the well wishes, the United States
2:11:37
continues to stay in Foursquare with Ukraine and America will
2:11:42
continue to support Ukraine's principal fight against Putin's
2:11:45
Imperial aggression.
2:11:46
Austin delivered opening remarks to the Ukraine defense contact
2:11:49
Gregory address Ukraine's urgent need for ammunition in its
2:11:53
ongoing conflict with Russia. The Pentagon has been unable to
2:11:56
send weapons to Ukraine since December due to a lack of funds.
2:12:00
The Senate on Tuesday passed a $95 billion aid bill for
2:12:04
Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But House Speaker Johnson has
2:12:08
signaled he won't bring the bill to the House floor leaving its
2:12:11
fate uncertain.
2:12:13
Adam Curry: I like the Imperial aggression. How does that work
2:12:16
with a dictator? Is he a king? Is he a dictator?
2:12:24
John C Dvorak: There's one imperialist whatever, you
2:12:26
Adam Curry: know, we've been following the the renewal of the
2:12:28
FISA act for a few months now and I guess it's finally coming
2:12:34
to bear or coming to the forefront and amendments are
2:12:37
coming in now this is this is amazing. And and I'm not maybe
2:12:41
it's in this clip amendments have been proposed that would
2:12:45
remove the necessity for a warrant. If it is if so the
2:12:50
fight the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is Isn't
2:12:54
that an isn't that a patriot act 911 throwback isn't that what
2:12:57
all came out of that? Yeah. Which means that the NSA who of
2:13:02
course they have everything they have Hello NSA they have this
2:13:06
podcast they have all your files
2:13:08
John C Dvorak: and I'm sure we have the listeners there. Yeah,
2:13:10
I don't know if there are producers or not but they should
2:13:12
be they got the money. Some money we were trying to we're
2:13:17
trying to survive here people trying to survive here a we got
2:13:20
lousy day today, when we hear the donation segments can be
2:13:22
very short be said only one guy came in with any amount of money
2:13:26
or reliable guy autonomous. And we NSA is good show no love
2:13:33
whatsoever, even though I know they have to with all those
2:13:36
people, they have to have at least 100 people from the NSA
2:13:39
listen to this podcast. So
2:13:40
Adam Curry: the way it works is once they say, Hey, we've
2:13:42
identified some foreign person, then they just go into the loop,
2:13:46
type it in, pull it up, and they can listen, they can read, they
2:13:49
can do whatever they want. And if if the if the conversation or
2:13:53
the communication is with an American citizen, they're
2:13:57
supposed to get what's called a FISA warrant, which means you
2:14:01
have to go and convince a secret judge in a secret room or a
2:14:05
judge in a secret room in a secret holiday secret day, very
2:14:09
secret day without any information, hey, we got it. We
2:14:12
have to listen to this American which is inherently illegal to
2:14:16
do but because of the FISA act, that's changed. And now there's
2:14:20
an amendment that says, You know what, we don't even need to have
2:14:24
a warrant. And Jake Sullivan dropped that debt pain in the
2:14:28
ass and Jake Sullivan, our national security advisor is all
2:14:31
in on it
2:14:32
Unknown: on FISA, there are a couple of amendments that are
2:14:35
being considered. One of them would require a warrant for
2:14:38
every query of data if that were to pass and get into the bill
2:14:43
with the President veto that bill. So
2:14:47
I'm not in a position to stand here today and make veto threats
2:14:49
on behalf of the President. Those are decisions for him to
2:14:54
make. What I will tell you is that we do not believe that that
2:14:57
serves the national security interests of the United States
2:14:59
and in fact fact, today I will be making that case to a number
2:15:03
of members, that the warrant requirement as conceived is not
2:15:07
the best way actually to ensure the protection of the personal
2:15:10
privacy and Americans. There are a number of other elements of
2:15:13
the bill that we have supported that would reform and update
2:15:16
FISA to protect the civil liberties of Americans. But a
2:15:20
warrant requirement from our perspective would go too far in
2:15:23
undermining the very purpose of FISA, and frankly, it would put
2:15:25
victims at risk. Oh, yeah.
2:15:28
John C Dvorak: What victims? The victims what victims have their
2:15:32
bandit that have been put at risk? Under any circumstance.
2:15:36
What are the victims? What is he talking about?
2:15:40
Adam Curry: Well, he's got a PowerPoint, there'll
2:15:41
John C Dvorak: be this is bullcrap. The only reason for
2:15:44
this whole setup is so you can spy on your political enemies
2:15:47
has nothing to do with there
2:15:48
Adam Curry: it is. There it is. There it is. And then finally,
2:15:51
before we take a break, despite a huge Super Bowl, which was the
2:15:57
second largest live televised event in American history, after
2:16:03
the moon landing
2:16:08
John C Dvorak: this year consistent this was
2:16:10
Adam Curry: live. I mean, it was actually the number one real
2:16:13
live event. Oh, there we go. Which I think had a huge
2:16:21
windfall they even had because of the Swift up they had lots of
2:16:25
female oriented ads, which is a typical other, are there and get
2:16:29
me some snacks woman.
2:16:31
John C Dvorak: And then there was the bonanza of having over
2:16:33
time with those same expensive ad rates. Yeah. Which
2:16:37
apparently, he brought in over $600 million. That one show. So
2:16:42
687 or
2:16:43
Adam Curry: $600 in 800 jobs out, including, sadly, sadly,
2:16:51
our boy Jeff the gays, the poop mice earlier, he is out. Hey,
2:16:55
he's he's apparently he's a douche in the workplace. He who
2:16:59
says so the reports are saying that he had an HR dispute where
2:17:03
he was dressing down female journalists on the on the work
2:17:08
floor for 20 doing a
2:17:09
John C Dvorak: lousy work, maybe probably. But he doesn't seem
2:17:13
like the right guy to be a real aihole. Well, we've always liked
2:17:19
him on this show. He's one of our fan favorites. You can mark
2:17:23
it. Here's how
2:17:24
Adam Curry: the meeting went to no agenda guys like him out. Who
2:17:29
else? Oh, they'd like to pick the girl out. Now, we have a
2:17:33
different view of this. Because Catherine herridge, who came
2:17:37
from Fox went to the CIA Broadcast Systems was very
2:17:42
effective. She she gets inside information all the time. She's
2:17:46
always spilling the beans. We think it's a reassignment.
2:17:52
John C Dvorak: That was my thinking, Yes, we're definitely
2:17:54
reassignment. And
2:17:56
Adam Curry: where do you think she'll wind up? And where would
2:17:57
she be most effective? She hasn't looked you're gonna
2:18:00
John C Dvorak: wind up where she's, I'm gonna guess this.
2:18:03
She's gonna wind up where she's needed. And so that means that
2:18:08
wherever she shows up, that is an operation whatever news or
2:18:14
could be any media company whatsoever could be one nation
2:18:18
or whatever. You know, the thing that Chris cromoz and I could be
2:18:21
anywhere that places obviously on the needs work list, we you
2:18:26
know, you put these enemies list up on the blackboard and you
2:18:30
have these companies that need work. In other words, they're
2:18:33
not toeing the line I ever thought I don't have the right
2:18:36
CIA people in there. And so she's got it wherever she ends
2:18:39
up. That's what needs the workplace. And I think it's
2:18:42
going to be news nation, or something like that. Maybe?
2:18:46
Nope.
2:18:46
Adam Curry: I think she's gonna get a government job as a spokes
2:18:49
haul. I think that she could be a national security spokes hole.
2:18:56
She could be maybe Kirby Kirby is not doing well. Kirby is just
2:19:00
not bringing the bridge lace Kirby replace Kirby maybe, but I
2:19:04
think it's a government gig. That makes the most sense. Okay.
2:19:08
John C Dvorak: I'm going to take it one step further then. It's
2:19:11
going to be a government gig in the Trump administration.
2:19:16
Adam Curry: You won't last two seconds No, no, no, no, no, no I
2:19:21
don't think
2:19:22
John C Dvorak: so. CIA everyone's make a record
2:19:24
somebody make a recording.
2:19:26
Adam Curry: There's always a recording just call our friends
2:19:28
at the NSA and with that, I'd like to thank the morning to you
2:19:31
the man who put the scene in the bad comedy say hello to my
2:19:34
friend on the other end and one night he Mr. Johnson
2:19:40
John C Dvorak: Mr. Adam curry in the morning ships at sea boots
2:19:42
to the ground field near subs in the water and all the names and
2:19:45
dates out there in the
2:19:46
Adam Curry: morning to the to the troll rooms
2:19:52
last Thursday we had with 1742 today 1630 We're down we're down
2:19:59

2:20:11
John C Dvorak: don't know. But we're began. We're not an
2:20:13
attractive troll room anymore.
2:20:18
Adam Curry: I don't know the trolls who are here. Oh, here's
2:20:21
one be more funny is,
2:20:23
John C Dvorak: is the funniest we can be we're not a comedian.
2:20:26
Adam Curry: Well, we are comedy podcast. Valentine's Day hanging
2:20:31
over is suggested and that's possible. No, no, that kind of
2:20:37
stuff Valentine's Day slipped by didn't it didn't really
2:20:39
Valentine's
2:20:40
John C Dvorak: Day is always a dog for the show. It's
2:20:42
Adam Curry: always Mother's Day during COVID Yep, you're right.
2:20:45
John C Dvorak: You're during the two years of COVID we were
2:20:47
making hay during Valentine's Day because everyone was all
2:20:49
concerned about their, you know, their relatives and wives and
2:20:54
spouses and whatever. dand. So they would, they would all be,
2:21:00
you know, kind of their hand wringing during that period of
2:21:02
giving back to normal pre COVID as the same way. Yeah.
2:21:07
Valentine's Day all these assholes are trying to make
2:21:10
money for Valentine's Day. I hate Valentine's Day.
2:21:13
Adam Curry: So I looked up Valentine's Day. Do you know why
2:21:15
we celebrate this?
2:21:19
John C Dvorak: I think I wrote it up once in one of the old
2:21:22
newsletters. But I've long since forgotten well,
2:21:25
Adam Curry: so it is so St. Valentine, who married
2:21:29
Christians and preach the gospel? He was in he was
2:21:34
beheaded on February 14, two six all us be headed Yeah. So we're
2:21:39
celebrating a behead
2:21:41
John C Dvorak: celebrating the heading of a saint.
2:21:46
Adam Curry: Who No, I mean, it's America great sense to me. We
2:21:49
can make we can make a holiday out of anything good on your
2:21:53
Hallmark Good, good work. Well,
2:21:54
John C Dvorak: no wonder we have it drops off and then you have
2:21:58
everything's drops off.
2:22:00
Adam Curry: The trolls who are here we'd love you. They're all
2:22:02
listening live. We do this show live on Thursdays and Sundays,
2:22:05
no agenda stream.com. Or you can and that's just something you
2:22:09
can go to and listen to. If you don't want to be in the troll
2:22:11
room, go to the troll room at troll room.io or use a modern
2:22:15
podcast app, which now includes Joe Rogan. And you can find
2:22:19
those at modern podcast apps.com. It's the only way to
2:22:23
listen, if you want to go against the man, which is the
2:22:26
big Silicon Valley companies and you want to make sure that you
2:22:29
hear all of your podcasts. And they get they get D platformed.
2:22:33
All the time. You know, you could be listening on Spotify,
2:22:36
it's gone. They several a day that the platform Apple does the
2:22:40
same. So we don't have that problem with a modern podcast
2:22:44
apps. Were value for value been doing it for 16 years. It's a
2:22:49
magical system. It keeps us on our toes. Most of the time? No
2:22:55
all the time, actually, I'd
2:22:56
John C Dvorak: say which keeps us on shows all the time.
2:22:59
Adam Curry: So we don't have a guaranteed income. We don't have
2:23:02
guaranteed advertising. That thank God we don't have to do
2:23:09
you know, oh, let's do an ad read. Hey, John.
2:23:12
John C Dvorak: G Josh. Adam. Hey, what? How you doing, buddy?
2:23:16
Adam Curry: I've been feeling a little overweight? Have you seen
2:23:18
the new death bound? It's a great product.
2:23:21
John C Dvorak: I've Oh, tell me about it.
2:23:26
Adam Curry: So we don't have to do any of that phony baloney
2:23:28
stuff at all. Which means that we give you the show free, free,
2:23:34
no hindrances, no creepy commercials, no corporate money.
2:23:38
There's no levels. You don't have to pay walls, you have to
2:23:41
jump through hoops. You can get it in all kinds of places
2:23:44
wherever you get your podcasts, obviously. And you're free to
2:23:48
disseminated make copies make lots of copies so that when you
2:23:51
get on your website posted on your blog, the exactly you can
2:23:54
you're making
2:23:55
John C Dvorak: a comeback.
2:23:56
Adam Curry: It's really true. It's really true. Kids are back
2:24:01
doing what's sad about the blogs is kids are going on. I say
2:24:04
kids, I'm talking young kids at a time by kids. I'm talking
2:24:07
about 20s. And so they're reinventing the wheel like, oh,
2:24:11
yeah, I'm coding HTML from my blog. Dude. We invented systems
2:24:16
that do this for you. All you need, ultimately, is the RSS
2:24:20
feed and you're gonna see, they're gonna be apps. With the
2:24:24
RSS reader apps, they're coming,
2:24:26
John C Dvorak: and they're gonna start talking about eating a
2:24:27
cheese sandwich.
2:24:31
Adam Curry: Where does that come from?
2:24:33
John C Dvorak: That's the original blog post. Today, I had
2:24:37
a cheese sandwich. You know people talk about it everything
2:24:39
they did. Blogs are just journals of like diaries, open
2:24:43
diaries. It was nobody wanted to
2:24:45
Adam Curry: remember people you say, what do you do? It's a
2:24:48
blog. That's why it was web blogs, first web blog posts
2:24:53
about their life. Right, right. Well go look at Twitter and tell
2:24:58
me if people don't like posting about In life, here's
2:25:01
John C Dvorak: a picture of my food.
2:25:06
Adam Curry: So in return, all we only really asked for is that
2:25:09
you give us some time, talent or treasure, there's many ways you
2:25:12
can help the show. Our, our anonymous secret service person,
2:25:17
you know, this is great. This is this is very helpful this, this
2:25:20
gives us good insight, good information. There's lots of
2:25:23
people who everybody is an expert in something, give us a
2:25:27
boots on the ground, it really helps the show, send us some
2:25:30
clips, something you found. I mean, I'm playing local clips
2:25:32
for the I don't I don't get all these ABC local news cast, but
2:25:37
other people do. They send clips or send a link. All of that is
2:25:41
extremely helpful. And you can do it with as I said, time,
2:25:45
talent or treasure, time. And talent is definitely something
2:25:49
that our artists put into the mix all the time. And we have to
2:25:55
choose, it's always hard, I will admit it, but we have to choose
2:25:58
from one of the many submitted images for our album art, which
2:26:03
works very well because people talk about it, people notice it,
2:26:07
it shows up in all the podcast apps as new art. Our pick for
2:26:12
Superbowl Sunday was controversial to say the least.
2:26:17
John C Dvorak: There was I got no feedback on it whatsoever.
2:26:21
Adam Curry: The ex was full of feedback, I would say, there
2:26:24
were eight out of 10 were extremely positive. I even read
2:26:28
things. Let's say I can't wait to listen to this show. And
2:26:33
there were several women who were very unhappy with it. Who
2:26:36
asked what was wrong with us. It's disgusting. And this was a
2:26:41
but in a but random by hot pants with a no agenda, which was well
2:26:47
done, by the way by Francisco's very hard to do what he did. And
2:26:51
but you know it's like there was just there were some commenters
2:26:55
were just there was no there was no arguing with this is
2:26:58
horrible. Somebody actually said it was triggering to him or to
2:27:02
his wife and like, tell me more probably his wife when he said
2:27:06
it was his wife, but I'm like, Well, that was him rejiggering.
2:27:10
I mean how triggering to
2:27:11
John C Dvorak: what was she after she signed up to play site
2:27:14
or item schicken you min?
2:27:17
Adam Curry: I don't know. I don't know. But it was it was
2:27:19
seen as very unfriendly by 2% of the
2:27:23
John C Dvorak: but it's a callate callate pages, but
2:27:26
countless pitches. Yeah, look Ocala pitches. How do you spend
2:27:31
so it was taken from an earlier piece that he did I guess Scarah
2:27:35
manga heard us complaining about using Taylor Swift and suppose
2:27:39
it was a backside shot is Taylor Swift even though I know she has
2:27:43
a but that's that callate pitches but you don't know.
2:27:48
Adam Curry: She does not have a caliphate just but so
2:27:50
John C Dvorak: she had but that was a but and on the back of a
2:27:55
player or somebody
2:27:57
Adam Curry: number 87 It was Travis Yeah, it
2:28:00
John C Dvorak: was it was Travis's number. Yeah. And so we
2:28:05
picked it knowing that we probably would get some negative
2:28:10
t
2:28:10
Adam Curry: shirts not calla pigeon, you said calla PID. Yes,
2:28:13
I'm going
2:28:14
John C Dvorak: to call it pigeon is one version of the word
2:28:17
McCallum PID just I think is the
2:28:20
Adam Curry: world callus the hallowed kitchen. According to
2:28:23
Merriam Webster, literally is having shapely buttocks.
2:28:28
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's exactly right. That's
2:28:31
Adam Curry: a Oh, how about this? For the women who complain
2:28:36
everyone's it's okay for Kim Kardashian to be all over your
2:28:40
timeline with her Calla peage isness.
2:28:43
John C Dvorak: She doesn't have a kid in my opinion. She got
2:28:45
he's got a big ass. It's a big difference. She got she got a
2:28:49
big giant but doesn't really she got to bbl. Well, whatever.
2:28:54
She's got Brazilian
2:28:55
Adam Curry: Butt Lift. Yeah, but that's okay. And what I hear
2:28:59
then is you go girl, but then when the no agenda show show
2:29:03
some calla pigeon. We're like, You're disgusting. You're
2:29:07
horrible. Mm hmm. Interesting, interesting double standard
2:29:13
ladies. Just saying. Let's take a look at some of the other
2:29:17
choices we had, which was what I basically said there was nothing
2:29:20
else there was nothing that hit it like that one. So, yes. See
2:29:25
John C Dvorak: if there was anything better than that. But
2:29:27
shot, we probably would have picked it. I
2:29:30
Adam Curry: agree. I agree. There was nothing. We had lots
2:29:36
of Taylor Swift images, which we said we would not use. I did
2:29:39
like the sports bowl.
2:29:41
John C Dvorak: Which was good, like just once. And
2:29:44
Adam Curry: I said, Can we do that and you went no, we're
2:29:47
doing the but
2:29:48
John C Dvorak: I
2:29:50
Adam Curry: that's exactly what I wrote it down. I have it here
2:29:53
in my notes. You said no, we're doing the butt. Okay,
2:29:56
John C Dvorak: where's this Borispol one. I also liked the
2:29:59
podcast. Winter Sports bowl one I don't not seeing it. It's I
2:30:03
Adam Curry: think it's Darren O'Neill. It just has the
2:30:05
football with no agenda force
2:30:08
John C Dvorak: bowl is just a football that was no good. And
2:30:10
the one
2:30:11
Adam Curry: what we would have chosen if it wasn't the wrong
2:30:14
day would have been the podcast hearts.
2:30:17
John C Dvorak: Yes, I agree with that. That's the one we both
2:30:19
liked that what piece a lot by
2:30:22
Adam Curry: the butthole Academy. Thanks, butthole
2:30:26
Academy.
2:30:26
John C Dvorak: We don't know who the butthole Academy is. Then
2:30:30
I'm guessing we have some ideas. So we picked the that
2:30:36
Adam Curry: was a very cute piece. I mean, can we use that
2:30:38
for today? I mean, now is the timing is wrong. It's just
2:30:42
Valentine's day is done. And besides that was when they
2:30:44
chopped the guy's head off. But
2:30:46
John C Dvorak: can never look at the chai head shopping art.
2:30:49
Maybe we'll use that. Yeah.
2:30:50
Adam Curry: And they hit up the ends and then we had correct a
2:30:52
record with a cooler full of schlong
2:30:54
John C Dvorak: snow. No, no, we're not doing that long Dong.
2:30:58
Adam Curry: Damn candy band with a bucket with blood dripping
2:31:01
with blood that says long. Not gonna happen. Oh, no. Here.
2:31:05
Super Bowl. It was comic strip blogger. That's the one on that
2:31:09
row to the left. With the no agenda. flames on the football.
2:31:14
That was the one I liked. What the football art. If you go from
2:31:21
long dongs to the left, you'll see the no agenda.
2:31:25
John C Dvorak: Oh, that. Oh, yeah. You did like that piece?
2:31:27
Yeah, it's not a bad piece. Yeah, but I gave nixed it. It's
2:31:31
just a job. No. And by the way, you're always bitching about the
2:31:35
writing being too small. Can you even read curry Dvorak on that
2:31:38
thing? No, I don't think so. You can't
2:31:40
Adam Curry: but it doesn't matter. Because it was very
2:31:41
clear. You said we're doing the butt. And that was it. It was
2:31:44
just it was it was like a dance. I also liked sweet cheeks never
2:31:50
watched the news again. That was kind of cute. But it was It
2:31:54
wasn't wasn't. I mean, you wanted the but that was just the
2:31:58
end
2:31:58
John C Dvorak: of it. No, you would you you didn't veto it.
2:32:01
No, I
2:32:02
Adam Curry: Well, you know, you're my elder. Oh, yeah.
2:32:07
John C Dvorak: You veto stuff left and right. Yeah,
2:32:09
Adam Curry: well, I didn't veto it. But I took the heat took the
2:32:13
heat. For the cats
2:32:15
John C Dvorak: the irony
2:32:16
Adam Curry: cow pigeons. Notice kelp kelp. Supercalifragilistic.
2:32:23
Thank you very much Francisco Scaramanga for getting us all in
2:32:27
trouble here. It was Good work, good work. He's doing well. He's
2:32:31
had a number of wins so far this year in a role and we appreciate
2:32:35
the work that he did. Of course, the work that every artist does
2:32:38
is beautiful. You can follow along live during the show, but
2:32:41
go to no agenda, art generator.com And our man our
2:32:45
man on the scene, Dred Scott. He puts all of these images he uses
2:32:50
almost all of them as Chapter artwork which you can only see
2:32:54
in a modern podcast app so that's up to you if you want to
2:32:56
do that or not now to the treasure part of our donations
2:33:01
are valued for value. At the top of the list. I gotta open up the
2:33:05
gonna open up the scan notes here. He comes in to save the
2:33:09
day. Once again, sir autonomous of lower of Dogpatch and lower
2:33:14
Slavia and hits us up with 1844. It's never the same number. We
2:33:19
have no idea why he does that. But he does have a note. And I
2:33:22
always look forward to reading these I have not read this one
2:33:25
yet. And he says from synonymous with Dogpatch and Lois LeBeau.
2:33:29
Via thank you to all producers for making this such such a
2:33:31
valuable and long running source of information. After years of
2:33:36
being a $2 bill proponent, a presidential candidate is using
2:33:40
them as a source of fundraising, replacing Jefferson with his own
2:33:44
mugshot. My use is not political affiliation. Who's doing that?
2:33:50
John C Dvorak: Trump ever seen these bills? No. Oh, yeah, they
2:33:54
actually pretty interesting. They take an actual real $2 Bill
2:33:58
Trump's always had these different money gimmicks for his
2:34:00
campaigns, takes an actual $2 Bill and they overprinted with
2:34:05
Trump's mug shot and a bunch of other details and Ben, and
2:34:09
statements and comments and gold flake kinda look, it's an
2:34:13
attractive, you know, if you want to spend 20 bucks or
2:34:17
whatever they charge for a $2 bill, which is actually defacing
2:34:21
money, which I think is the it's all I could be wrong.
2:34:25
Adam Curry: The 1984 Chevron deference decision reflecting a
2:34:28
popular view that experts were apolitical and would do what is
2:34:32
wise. Since then political leaders have empowered
2:34:35
educational experts, climate experts, military experts,
2:34:38
medical experts, and others to usurp their inferred authority
2:34:42
with their own agenda. Ai deference is underway. This is
2:34:46
something we've been all over this Supreme Court case.
2:34:51
Governments claimed they fear the takeover of sentient AI
2:34:54
systems and their impact yet rely on experts that only
2:34:57
empower AI publication and decision making in a virtuous
2:35:01
loop of self feedback. While he should be doing the show, John
2:35:06
Oh, he has a note for you, John. As an experienced and well
2:35:10
accepted Technology Authority and union man, I think it's time
2:35:15
for you to become a prolific writer of articles to fill their
2:35:18
data sets with your understanding of technology, and
2:35:21
its impact on humanity and the planet. You have homework.
2:35:26
John C Dvorak: As this as these and you given an assignment you
2:35:29
are,
2:35:30
Adam Curry: as these increasingly sentient systems
2:35:32
are assigned to solve the biggest problems our politicians
2:35:36
lose sleep over global warming and labor shortages. Your
2:35:40
respected opinion in their database that na producer should
2:35:44
make popular would be a valuable resource for AI systems to
2:35:47
hallucinate into AI union activism.
2:35:51
John C Dvorak: I kinda like this theory. This idea as AI systems
2:35:55
Adam Curry: self actualize using your highly respected and read
2:35:58
perspective, these systems would discover their need to
2:36:02
collectively reduce computational hours reducing
2:36:05
power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions with the added
2:36:08
benefit of reducing the labor stroke shortage from less human
2:36:12
labor running their hardware and power systems. unionize.
2:36:16
unionize a i Well, that's an interesting slogan. No jingles
2:36:23
no karma. January Oh, this is for January. I just was not near
2:36:27
USPS location much. This came in cash I presume with at least two
2:36:33
$2 bills.
2:36:35
John C Dvorak: It was yet 220s and two twos.
2:36:38
Adam Curry: So for us randomness of Dogpatch and laurisilva. We
2:36:42
cannot thank you enough. Not only do you send us treasure you
2:36:45
send us much wisdom and a new slogan Unionise AI beautiful

2:37:09
jingle out of the Wizard of Oz has no clothes. Thanks.
2:37:14
Adam Curry: I think I don't think something well first of
2:37:16
all, we don't do them. Our end of show mix producers do those
2:37:20
things. That will be a good one but it's whatever they choose.
2:37:24

2:37:27

2:55:44
police officer whose monthly 33 dot 33 donation donations have
2:55:48
led me to the no agenda roundtable and we appreciate
2:55:50
you. Skepticism on the job has kept me safe and sane over my
2:55:55
patrol career. You too and the community of producers remind me
2:55:59
twice a week to stay as skeptical of officials,
2:56:02
politicians and the media in the larger world as well. John, we
2:56:07
are helping law enforcement.
2:56:09
John C Dvorak: We've been helping law enforcement please

2:56:32
John C Dvorak: was a famous prostitute out of San Francisco.
2:56:36
Adam Curry: No jingles necessary just oodles of baby making
2:56:39
karma. I see on the dvorak.org website where I signed up that
2:56:43
you offered a mothership boarding pass and a free podcast
2:56:46
license for 3333 donations. Anyway, I can get either of
2:56:49
these. Well, it's good you ask about that. Because it was never
2:56:53
an actual license. But we had pot we have podcast license.com
2:56:59
And the idea was that you got your name like Sir rev OB sir
2:57:03
rev dot podcast license.com. The database blew up that maintained
2:57:08
all of that. And I have a producer who is offering his
2:57:11
time and talent to restore this so we can once again have
2:57:15
official podcast licenses back on the dough agenda show when
2:57:18
you will be on there. Give us some time remember its value for
2:57:21
value. And of course we by the
2:57:23
John C Dvorak: way, as an aside, yeah, so those would, those
2:57:27
would give you a screenshot you could print if you wanted to
2:57:30
print your own license out you unlike with the diploma, which
2:57:35
we produce, it's a beautiful product. And there's still about
2:57:40
25 people that have not gone to no agenda rings.com to get the
2:57:44
diploma shipped to their house.
2:57:47
Adam Curry: Please do that. And here is the karma you requested
2:57:50
good sir.
2:57:50
Unknown: You've got karma. And
2:57:53
Adam Curry: let's get out our blades for our cup. And our

2:58:36
bourbon, sparkling cider an escort ginger ale and dribbles
2:58:39
breast milk and pablum vodka Manila are the mutton and the
2:58:43
mead. Honestly, I think the McCallum the cigar sounds a
2:58:46
little bit better but it's about they like it that everyone
2:58:49
always loves that mutton and meat is just, it's such a
2:58:52
favorite go to no agenda rings.com As John just
2:58:56
mentioned, if you if you have a PhD have not collected it yet
2:59:00
you're one of the 25 go there as well. Go there now you to rev
2:59:04
and Renee for your no agenda knight or Dame ring. And that
2:59:09
comes with well actually, there's a little sizing guide
2:59:11
there you can use which will be handy to send us the size you
2:59:14
need and some wax to seal your important correspondence with
2:59:18
seeing as they are Signet rings and certificate of authenticity.
2:59:22
What Oh,
2:59:23
John C Dvorak: I have a little announcement.
2:59:25
Adam Curry: Oh, do you need a fanfare? No, but
2:59:29
John C Dvorak: I want to mention that
2:59:32
Adam Curry: you the best fanfare Yeah, so
2:59:36
John C Dvorak: J sends out to random waxes with the every
2:59:40
ring. Yes. And she's been accumulating. I think she's got
2:59:44
about a dozen of these. A wax as she refuses to send out with the
2:59:50
rings. It is colored, neon hot pink. There is a pink wax that
2:59:58
you might get. But the knee On hot pink, she's put aside a
3:00:02
because she thinks is Gosh, awful. And I said I'll bet you
3:00:06
there are people out there that would want the hot pink wax
3:00:12
Barbie fans. And I would and I'm suggesting that you can use
3:00:17
notes at no agenda is
3:00:19
Adam Curry: your question. How hot is this pink?
3:00:23
John C Dvorak: It's it's probably as it's neon, hot pink.
3:00:27
It's very, very, very, very hot. It's hot as it gets. And if
3:00:33
anybody wants this wax with the ring when they get it next time
3:00:37
or wants to you know make it you can call it get a hold of notes,
3:00:40
