1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,780 John C Dvorak: Oh my god, what a bunch of wind bags. Adam curry 2 00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:07,410 Jhansi Dvorak February 29 2024 3 00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:09,210 Adam Curry: This Year Award Winning Combination Mina 4 00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:15,660 assassination episode 1638. This is no agenda, enjoying a free 5 00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:19,410 extra day, and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill 6 00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:22,080 country here in FEMA Region number six in the morning, 7 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,970 everybody. I'm Adam curry 8 00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:26,610 John C Dvorak: in from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all 9 00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:29,520 enjoying Leap Day. I'm Jonathan Devorah. 10 00:00:31,110 --> 00:00:37,410 Adam Curry: Buzzkill. I believe this is the first I think this 11 00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:40,590 is the first time we've ever had a show on Leap Day. 12 00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:45,510 John C Dvorak: It's possible the only happen once every four 13 00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:48,420 years. It didn't have to be a coincidence that one day of the 14 00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:55,020 week, Thursday, or Sunday has to fall on that day. So I someone 15 00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:57,690 out there could do the calculation on this statistical 16 00:00:58,410 --> 00:01:00,450 probability. Yeah, probably. It could be 17 00:01:00,510 --> 00:01:02,340 Adam Curry: as far as I can remember this the first time 18 00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:06,960 ever, but it's very enjoyable. Now as feels like it. So how 19 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,750 many shows that we had in this in this month? Let me check. We 20 00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:18,180 have 12345678. This will be the ninth show this month. I mean, 21 00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:21,300 that's value for value right there. Oh, we're Yeah, 22 00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,580 John C Dvorak: we're giving people their money's worth. I 23 00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:25,770 think so. Especially considering the money. Yeah, 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,560 Adam Curry: reminder, we are a value for value program, which 25 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,710 means you can support us with your time, talent and treasure 26 00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:36,750 no agenda donations.com. But first, let's, I mean, there's 27 00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:40,920 something we weren't realizing. Well, actually, we know. War is 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,030 good for business. This we know. We know. We know that COVID was 29 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:48,090 good for business. It was bad for people's health, but good 30 00:01:48,090 --> 00:01:53,340 for business. We printed up a lot of money and put a lot of a 31 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:56,160 lot of money into the states and everybody had lots of money, 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,570 lots of money, especially into the states. And so now the cat 33 00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:04,140 is kind of out of the bag Victoria Nuland admitted it it's 34 00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:08,520 in the New York Times in the Wall Street Journal, The 35 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,790 Washington Post, everyone's trying to say, hey, you really? 36 00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:16,770 This money for Ukraine? It's not really for Ukraine is for us? 37 00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:22,350 Have you noticed an uptick in this in this narrative? 38 00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:26,400 John C Dvorak: Yeah. Yeah, I guess for us, even though we 39 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,780 make a tank here and pay workers to make the tank and then ship 40 00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:33,480 the tank off for free to Ukraine. 41 00:02:34,170 --> 00:02:38,040 Adam Curry: Right. But I think I have a feeling that this is 42 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,030 really the only thing that's keeping our country in business 43 00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:42,600 at all. 44 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,790 John C Dvorak: Well, that and money laundering Well, 45 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:48,810 Adam Curry: let's, let's listen to a bit of the money laundering 46 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:52,830 scam from a Democrat, who, of course, is a war monger from 47 00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:55,380 Colorado, Representative Jason crow. 48 00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,420 Unknown: But let's also talk about how this bill is 49 00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:00,690 structured and how it provides that support. It provides that 50 00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:04,170 support by spending over half of the money right here in the 51 00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:08,700 United States, to US businesses and US workers from places like 52 00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:12,510 Texas and North Carolina and Pennsylvania and Colorado, all 53 00:03:12,510 --> 00:03:16,350 throughout this nation, who will be building the equipments and 54 00:03:16,350 --> 00:03:20,790 supplies that we'll be sending to our military costs. Another 55 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:25,590 important part of this, our military sends our old equipment 56 00:03:25,950 --> 00:03:30,240 to Ukraine. And Ukraine uses John great effect on the 57 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,180 battlefield. Yeah, we can tell the new stuff has kept by our 58 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:36,240 military. Oh, so let's break this down. Break, please break 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,850 it down. We're supporting our economy, for protecting our 60 00:03:38,850 --> 00:03:43,320 100,000 troops. We're ensuring a stable and prosperous Europe. 61 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,430 We're defeating the Russian military. We're ensuring food 62 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:50,460 supplies, we're updating, updating our own military 63 00:03:50,460 --> 00:03:54,150 stocks. We're infusing money in the US Defense industrial base 64 00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:57,660 and to our own workers and businesses. And we're doing all 65 00:03:57,660 --> 00:04:00,960 of this for less than 5% of our annual defense budget. 66 00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:04,620 Adam Curry: So new term, military industrial base, 67 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,180 instead of saying complex we say base, and I don't know what that 68 00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:13,200 even means. military industrial base. Is that the base of all of 69 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,190 our industry, I guess so. But here's what I found out, by 70 00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:18,990 John C Dvorak: the way that that number he threw out at the end 71 00:04:18,990 --> 00:04:20,760 is bogus. Oh, it's much 72 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:22,199 Adam Curry: more than the 5% I presume? 73 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:23,790 John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah. 74 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,860 Adam Curry: Now, this is the beauty that I didn't realize it 75 00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:33,060 until I came across this report from Turkish Radio Television 76 00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:37,620 who I'm liking more and more these days. This war, the so 77 00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:44,580 called War is allowing us to soak and screw the entire 78 00:04:44,580 --> 00:04:49,860 European Union. We're soaking them for hundreds of billions of 79 00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:51,240 dollars. Since the 80 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,240 Unknown: start of the Ukrainian war. Industrial production in 81 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,250 the US Defense and Space sector has increased by 17.5% European 82 00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:03,180 governments in including Poland, Germany, and other NATO eastern 83 00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:06,720 flank countries have placed ordered worth billions of 84 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,780 dollars. Their shopping list include fighter jets, 85 00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:14,850 helicopters, tanks and other hardware in 2023 spending by 86 00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:20,850 European countries went up by 30% to $345 billion, almost a 87 00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:25,260 third higher than a decade ago. Pull on $30 billion orders for 88 00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:29,820 Apache helicopters High Mobility Artillery Rocket System HIMARS M 89 00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:34,260 one a one Abrams tanks and other hardware from the US Germany 90 00:05:34,260 --> 00:05:39,210 will spend over $20 billion to buy 35 us made F 35 fighter jets 91 00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:43,560 and 60 Chinook helicopters and related equipment, as it ramps 92 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:48,570 up military spending from $50 billion in 2021 to over $100 93 00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:52,830 billion in 2022. Following crushers worries crane, 94 00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:56,670 Romania's government increased his 2024 defense budget by 95 00:05:56,670 --> 00:06:02,850 almost 45% over 2023, reaching roughly $20.8 billion to 96 00:06:02,850 --> 00:06:06,210 accommodate major weapons purchase from the US this surge 97 00:06:06,210 --> 00:06:10,200 in demand has created 1000s of jobs and production lines have 98 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,260 spread across 40 US states already but the economic 99 00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:16,230 benefits are not limited to the defense industry. But wait, 100 00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:19,050 there's more US has become the world's largest exporter of 101 00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:22,710 liquefied natural gas. The destruction of Russian gas 102 00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:26,400 supplies has meant Europe has turned to America for his gas. 103 00:06:26,430 --> 00:06:30,180 This has led to significant investments in new LNG projects, 104 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,350 boosting the US economy even faster for indirect investment 105 00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:38,850 in the US has seen a nearly 50% increase with European companies 106 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,510 attracted by the access to cheap and abundant energy. 107 00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:49,950 Adam Curry: It's a bonanza hundreds. Okay. I didn't realize 108 00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:53,580 this. I didn't realize that that all that money they were we're 109 00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,220 sending money to Ukraine. No, you're not. You're sending it to 110 00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:56,940 us. 111 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,380 John C Dvorak: This is great. Oh, here. Yeah. Let's listen to 112 00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:08,910 some more a less histrionic analysis of how much money is 113 00:07:08,910 --> 00:07:11,670 actually being spent? Oh, by Are you? 114 00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:14,640 Adam Curry: Are you gonna bum me out? Now? I 115 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,130 John C Dvorak: run that I know it's gonna bum you out or not. 116 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,850 But I don't believe anything. That guy said. Oh, I can see why 117 00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:23,940 he's like it is a great clip. But let's listen to the Al 118 00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:26,730 Jazeera who looks at these things probably says they're not 119 00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:31,590 that involved in this war as Turkey is. And Turkey is trying 120 00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:35,130 to humiliate the EU all the time. Yes. Let's listen to this 121 00:07:35,130 --> 00:07:38,910 clip as Ukraine war and it has contributions. I want 122 00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:41,760 Unknown: to take a quick look at this point at the contributions 123 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,280 that we've been seeing from from different countries. Obviously, 124 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,560 Western powers, as we've been talking about have been heavily 125 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,260 supporting Ukraine's war effort. Let's look at some of those 126 00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:53,910 numbers. Now Cuba has received around $270 billion worth of 127 00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:56,670 aid, including military, financial and humanitarian 128 00:07:56,670 --> 00:07:59,550 support. The biggest donor is the United States, it's given 129 00:07:59,550 --> 00:08:03,990 more than $75 billion over the past two years. And a new aid 130 00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:06,870 package, as we've been talking about worth around $60 billion 131 00:08:07,470 --> 00:08:11,280 is though currently stalled in US Congress. Western powers have 132 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,370 also given Ukraine advanced weaponry, including tanks, 133 00:08:14,370 --> 00:08:18,090 fighter jets, and anti aircraft weapons. Looking at European 134 00:08:18,090 --> 00:08:22,470 contributions Germany that was what more than $19 billion worth 135 00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:28,470 UK 9.8 billion France I was interested to see is 686 136 00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:33,120 million. So it's pretty bold of Macron. To talk about needing to 137 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,660 do more when they're that far behind in contributions, isn't 138 00:08:36,660 --> 00:08:37,590 it? I wanna Well, 139 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,960 according to the Kiel Institute, which is tracking the the public 140 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,630 contributions because of course, some of the contributions may 141 00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:51,780 not always be public. Indeed, France is in 14th place after, 142 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,460 indeed, as you said, the United States, Germany, which is the 143 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:59,850 biggest European contributor, the UK, Poland, many, many 144 00:08:59,850 --> 00:09:06,210 others. So everybody is contributing, but I fully agree 145 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,600 that everybody needs to do more because this is an existential 146 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,140 moment. 147 00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:16,530 Adam Curry: Ah, the Frenchman. Frogs are no good. I ponying up 148 00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:17,790 McCrone. 149 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,450 John C Dvorak: The big this evolved from a conversation 150 00:09:21,450 --> 00:09:24,870 about the McCrone saying he's gonna send troops I have the 151 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:25,830 clip. Many 152 00:09:25,830 --> 00:09:28,320 Unknown: Western nations have done far more than France to 153 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,440 help Ukraine. But France is certainly the first float the 154 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,410 idea of putting boots on the ground French vote even if 155 00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:38,040 President Macron stressed there are no plans or agreements to do 156 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,980 so. In yet but constant social depo over a year. There is no 157 00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:45,840 consensus today to officially openly and with endorsement to 158 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,110 send troops to Ukraine. But in terms of dynamics, nothing 159 00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:52,080 should be ruled. It will do everything necessary to ensure 160 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,620 that Russia cannot win this war. The comments came after a 161 00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:59,190 hastily convened summit of Ukrainian allies called in the 162 00:09:59,190 --> 00:10:03,240 Shadow of War. Russian military advances your cubic feet, we 163 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,840 should not rule out the need for security, justify some elements 164 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,660 of deployment. But I've told you very clearly what France 165 00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:13,680 maintains as its position, which is a strategic ambiguity. 166 00:10:14,130 --> 00:10:14,820 Standby. 167 00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:17,400 Adam Curry: I think most of Europe is saying, hey, send 168 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,050 Pierre man, that's fine by me. 169 00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:21,660 John C Dvorak: No, actually, they're all saying no, you can't 170 00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:23,760 do it. Don't do it. You're gonna get us all in trouble. 171 00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:26,760 Adam Curry: Did you see what what Schultz did the German 172 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,900 Chancellor. He blocked he blocked a Taurus. 173 00:10:31,950 --> 00:10:35,670 John C Dvorak: They don't want to get NATO involved in boots on 174 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:39,600 the ground. This was just macarons in trouble politically 175 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,660 throws this out there. He's not going to give him any more than 176 00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:46,710 the 480 million or whatever she passed. amount of money he's 177 00:10:46,710 --> 00:10:51,240 contributed. So he makes this bullcrap that wouldn't happen in 178 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,170 a million years. 179 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,940 Adam Curry: Here's here's Schultz 180 00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:57,180 Unknown: Chancellor Alessia it says Berlin Will Not Supply 181 00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:01,680 Ukraine with long range tourists cruise missiles now shots cited 182 00:11:01,710 --> 00:11:05,250 the missiles extreme range and the fact that it would not be 183 00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:09,690 possible for Germany to remotely monitor target control. Taurus 184 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,340 missiles can hit targets up to 500 kilometres away and try it 185 00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:17,850 said the missiles deployment could increase the risk of 186 00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:20,490 Germany becoming involved in the war. 187 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,510 Adam Curry: Yeah, no kidding. You can't trust the Lensky with 188 00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:28,200 that. You'll be sending it into Moscow. How far is Moscow? How 189 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,730 many how many kilometers is miles we 190 00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:31,650 John C Dvorak: had that on the show before it is I think is 191 00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:33,630 less than 500 miles. Yeah. So this is 192 00:11:33,630 --> 00:11:35,430 Adam Curry: no you can't give that to that guy. That's no 193 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:35,910 good. 194 00:11:37,470 --> 00:11:40,560 John C Dvorak: No, no, not he just send them all to Moscow. 195 00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:44,970 Adam Curry: So that we have Yulia No, no, no Vanya because 196 00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:49,200 you have to say at a at the end. So she is now the new the new 197 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:55,380 spokesmodel for war. And she so after her appearance at the 198 00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:59,550 Munich Security Conference, where the news broke as the 199 00:11:59,580 --> 00:12:03,960 coincidence amazing. She goes to Brussels now there's a problem 200 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,330 with Yulia it her English is really really not good enough to 201 00:12:09,510 --> 00:12:15,000 sound forceful. She has the right look. Now, she got the 202 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,410 cool bell bottom, pants on which is very modern, with the so 203 00:12:19,410 --> 00:12:22,260 she's got me that the hair tied back everything. It's all the 204 00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:25,500 right look, but it's not not quite hitting home with the 205 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:26,040 accent 206 00:12:26,070 --> 00:12:29,370 Unknown: Yuliana. Vanya told the blocks elected representatives 207 00:12:29,370 --> 00:12:32,010 her husband Alexei was murdered on the orders of Russian 208 00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:33,600 President Vladimir Putin 209 00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:39,000 on his orders. Alexei was tortured for three years. She 210 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,660 was starved in a tiny stone cell GLaDOS from the outside world, 211 00:12:46,380 --> 00:12:53,190 and denied visits, phone calls, and then even letters. And then 212 00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:54,330 they killed him. 213 00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:58,890 Kremlin continues to deny those allegations. She said Russian 214 00:12:58,890 --> 00:13:02,010 authorities delayed the release of his body, and she worries 215 00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:05,520 people attending the funeral on Friday would be arrested. I 216 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,730 literally told the parliament that despite sanctions, and 217 00:13:08,730 --> 00:13:11,610 despite the donated weapons, ammunition and money for 218 00:13:11,610 --> 00:13:15,900 Ukraine, Putin's invasion continues and his grip on power 219 00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,000 at home is stronger than ever. 220 00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:23,070 You cannot charge coach in this in this in other resolution, or 221 00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:27,420 another set of sanctions is no good. That is no different from 222 00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:32,400 the previous ones. You cannot defeat him by thinking he's a 223 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:38,100 man of principle who has morals and drills. She is not like 224 00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:44,910 that. And Alex Alexei realized that a long time ago. You're not 225 00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:48,990 dealing with a police. You're not dealing with a politician. 226 00:13:49,290 --> 00:13:50,610 But we say bloody 227 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,960 Adam Curry: monster, a bloody monster. Bloody monster. 228 00:13:55,170 --> 00:13:58,740 John C Dvorak: Your point is well taken. Yeah. Now 229 00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:02,640 Adam Curry: here's what's interesting. So first, the was 230 00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:11,580 the guy in Ukraine. The the HU archief Hu ours the intelligence 231 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,010 the main director of intelligence of Ukraine's 232 00:14:17,010 --> 00:14:24,390 Ministry of Defense, Curie lo Boudin off came out and said 233 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,990 well, I said he quote I may disappoint you but as far as we 234 00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:35,070 know Alexion evaluate died as a result of a blood clot this 235 00:14:35,070 --> 00:14:38,280 Yeah, this is not when the VAX well that's what they don't 236 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:44,220 throw in and and even even crazier. He they were teeing up 237 00:14:44,220 --> 00:14:47,700 to exchange him for, for some Russian guy, an 238 00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:51,000 Unknown: ally of Alexei Maloney. The deceased Russian opposition 239 00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:55,890 politician says Navalny was close to being freed at the time 240 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,820 of his death. In a YouTube video Maria PEF chick says there had 241 00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:04,290 been plans for Navalny to be exchanged for a Russian Hitman 242 00:15:04,290 --> 00:15:07,860 who's been held in a German jail talks were apparently in the 243 00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:11,790 final stages when he died of Czech also repeated her 244 00:15:11,790 --> 00:15:15,270 allegation that President Vladimir Putin is responsible 245 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,100 for Novelle knees death. 246 00:15:18,090 --> 00:15:21,750 Adam Curry: Now, why would Putin do that? If he was a bargaining 247 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:25,170 chip and wanted to exchange him, why would he kill him? He 248 00:15:25,170 --> 00:15:27,420 John C Dvorak: wouldn't admit to make any logical sense. This is 249 00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:30,720 just all part of the anti Putin. You know, everything's Putin, 250 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,030 Putin Putin, including including the everybody from everything 251 00:15:36,030 --> 00:15:40,530 going on over here is all Putin Putin the the, the Hunter Biden, 252 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,850 investigation is all Putin Putin Putin, Putin it is I mean, if 253 00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:46,980 you listen to these I don't have the clip, unfortunately, should 254 00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:52,440 have got it. Just a wrap up clip of every Democrat Congressman 255 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,910 saying is Putin is behind this is Russian disinformation. We're 256 00:15:56,910 --> 00:15:58,140 back off this. 257 00:15:58,170 --> 00:16:00,030 Adam Curry: We're back. We're back. And you know, it makes 258 00:16:00,030 --> 00:16:08,250 sense. You know, who's back? Scary Poppins is back. That Nina 259 00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:13,470 Jiang KOVITCH. You know, you remember her vaguely so she 260 00:16:13,470 --> 00:16:17,550 shows up. I'll do a little intro clip here from this is NPR, New 261 00:16:17,550 --> 00:16:17,970 Hampshire 262 00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:20,790 Unknown: voters heard a familiar voice on the other end of a robo 263 00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:24,360 call last month, telling them not to vote in the upcoming 264 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,880 Democratic presidential primary important 265 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,270 that you save your vote for the November election. We'll need 266 00:16:30,270 --> 00:16:34,470 your help in electing Democrats up and down ticket. Voting this 267 00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:37,770 Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to 268 00:16:37,770 --> 00:16:42,390 reelect Donald Trump again, your vote makes a difference in 269 00:16:42,390 --> 00:16:44,190 November, not just Tuesday. 270 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,700 That's sure sounds like President Joe Biden right down 271 00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:51,750 to his trademark more earlier in the call. But it's actually a 272 00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:55,860 deep fake that used AI to mimic Biden's voice to try to 273 00:16:55,890 --> 00:16:58,920 illegally suppress voting and disrupt the New Hampshire 274 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,580 primary. Nina djenka wits is vice president at the Center for 275 00:17:02,580 --> 00:17:06,000 Information resilience. And in a new piece she wrote for Foreign 276 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,630 Affairs, she argues that we're about to be bombarded with 277 00:17:09,630 --> 00:17:13,800 disinformation like that, ahead of the 2024 election. And she 278 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,620 says the US government has really given up trying to fight 279 00:17:16,620 --> 00:17:17,700 it. So 280 00:17:17,699 --> 00:17:20,699 Adam Curry: I look up this Center for Information 281 00:17:20,699 --> 00:17:21,899 resilience. 282 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,300 John C Dvorak: I'm already laughing. 283 00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:27,960 Adam Curry: Love how it says about us the Center for 284 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,060 Information resilience is an independent, nonprofit, social 285 00:17:33,090 --> 00:17:37,830 enterprise dedicated to exposing human rights abuses and war 286 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:41,160 crimes, countering disinformation and combating 287 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:46,410 online behavior harmful to women and minorities. Our projects in 288 00:17:46,410 --> 00:17:51,000 Myanmar, Ukraine and Afghanistan are at the forefront of efforts 289 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,540 to investigate and document human rights abuses. Now, this 290 00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:59,100 is what's interesting. This is a certified members of social 291 00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:05,340 enterprise UK organization. So and it even has a picture of 292 00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:10,710 London on the front. But then in this, how are you funded? Well, 293 00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:16,950 this is very interesting. We have no core funding, we receive 294 00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:19,740 funding from for individual projects that support our 295 00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:24,870 organizational objectives, blah, blah, blah, blah. For instance, 296 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:27,930 the me Mr. Witness project is supported by grants from UK 297 00:18:27,930 --> 00:18:30,120 Foreign commonwealth and development office and 298 00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:35,940 Australia's department for Foreign Affairs and Trade. Like 299 00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:38,310 other charities, nonprofits who receive government and 300 00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:41,400 multilateral support, these funds go directly towards 301 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,460 delivering our project work. Are you funded by any government? 302 00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:47,880 Why yes, we have received grants from the UK Government, foreign 303 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,640 commonwealth and Development Office, the US State Department, 304 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,450 USA ID and Australia's department for Foreign Affairs 305 00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:57,990 and Trade. So this is just another governmental 306 00:18:57,990 --> 00:19:02,100 organization or non governmental organization that she's weaseled 307 00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:06,900 herself into. And I'm sure that they'll be releasing reports and 308 00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:10,800 making noise and maybe they even get to do stuff, you know, 309 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,460 combat myths and disinformation. Because this is what it's going 310 00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:15,120 to be you 311 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,520 Unknown: know, I think we're more vulnerable now than we have 312 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,690 been at any time in the past 10 years. And I'm including 2018 313 00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:27,600 deluge of Russian disinformation that we that time. We are in an 314 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,740 extremely partisan politicized environment when it comes to 315 00:19:31,740 --> 00:19:35,010 disinformation. And so all of the good work that was built up 316 00:19:35,010 --> 00:19:38,220 since 2016 to push back on disinformation, whether it was 317 00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:42,990 coming from foreign entities or domestic entities, is now being 318 00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:47,010 labeled as censorship which is frankly not that's a bold faced 319 00:19:47,010 --> 00:19:48,450 lie. Oh, so the kinds of 320 00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:53,910 Adam Curry: shows taking people down and taking accounts off of 321 00:19:53,940 --> 00:19:57,330 social media is not since censorship was a bold faced lie 322 00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,990 Unknown: is now being labeled as censorship Well, It's frankly 323 00:20:00,990 --> 00:20:03,390 not that's a bold faced lie. No one's 324 00:20:03,390 --> 00:20:06,780 Adam Curry: calling face when it's coming from a nonprofit or 325 00:20:06,780 --> 00:20:09,990 a non governmental organization. You're correct. It is not 326 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:11,100 directly censorship. 327 00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:13,920 Unknown: So the kind of playing field is open for anybody who 328 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,130 wants to get involved there. And I'm talking about foreign 329 00:20:17,130 --> 00:20:21,390 entities. You know, I think Russia certainly has a lot to be 330 00:20:21,390 --> 00:20:25,230 meddling for, both with, you know, regard to the war in 331 00:20:25,230 --> 00:20:28,620 Ukraine, but also, I think it's clear that they will prefer a 332 00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:31,560 Trump presidency over a Biden presidency in the future, and 333 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,280 we'll probably be gunning for that. But we also have a wide 334 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:35,640 array of 335 00:20:36,450 --> 00:20:39,510 Adam Curry: effect, Putin said exactly the opposite. He's on 336 00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:42,570 record saying he prefers Biden over trover for 337 00:20:42,570 --> 00:20:45,570 Unknown: a Trump presidency over a Biden presidency in the future 338 00:20:45,570 --> 00:20:49,410 and will probably be gunning for that. But we also have a wide 339 00:20:49,410 --> 00:20:52,080 array of domestic dissident formers across the political 340 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,370 spectrum who are spreading lies for power and for profit. 341 00:20:58,050 --> 00:21:01,500 Adam Curry: Lies for power and for profit and for podcasts. 342 00:21:01,890 --> 00:21:08,280 Yes, podcasts, power and profit. Or our neighbor spoke about this 343 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,130 very system. And she spoke quite eloquently. I'm talking about 344 00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:16,110 Laura Logan, right down the road here. She was in Washington, DC 345 00:21:16,110 --> 00:21:21,690 for the Ron Johnson roundtable, which you know, has so he gets a 346 00:21:21,690 --> 00:21:25,110 lot of good people in in in these roundtables, and they do 347 00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:30,570 it in some side meeting room of the Capitol C span. C span 348 00:21:30,570 --> 00:21:33,540 doesn't cover it, you know, they run repeats of the Nixon 349 00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:36,660 presidency, like oh, we're not going to cover that. You know, 350 00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:41,640 they had they had, you know, Malone was there. And O'Dowd 351 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:47,430 about the the excess deaths and Dell big tree. And Laura Logan. 352 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,860 She spoke and then she was asked by Senator Johnson about the 353 00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:56,220 censorship issue with nonprofits and she answered quite 354 00:21:56,220 --> 00:21:56,970 eloquently. 355 00:21:57,090 --> 00:22:00,150 Unknown: Thank you, Miss Logan, we're only have a few seconds. 356 00:22:00,150 --> 00:22:02,820 Can you said you've been targeted over the last 10 years? 357 00:22:03,150 --> 00:22:06,270 Can you describe what precipitated your targeting? 358 00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:12,660 Yes, reporting the truth about Benghazi, I was attacked by one 359 00:22:12,660 --> 00:22:16,320 of those NGOs that masquerades as a nonpartisan watchdog in 360 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,520 violation of its 5013 c status. It occupies a highly partisan 361 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,250 position. I'm talking about media matters for America, I'm 362 00:22:23,250 --> 00:22:25,920 sure there's many doctors in this room, scientists who've 363 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,610 been attacked by the same people. The same people that run 364 00:22:29,610 --> 00:22:34,020 that David Brock, for example, and other political assassin now 365 00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:37,620 runs an organization called facts first USA which is 366 00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:41,580 designed to make sure that your research that doesn't never 367 00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:45,240 reach, it never reaches the people or the public. There are 368 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,210 other organizations like defeat disinfo, which claims to be a 369 00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:51,540 pack that goes off to disinformation, particularly set 370 00:22:51,540 --> 00:22:54,480 up to target COVID. And throughout COVID, with General 371 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,570 Stanley McChrystal, and the other people that advise that 372 00:22:57,570 --> 00:23:01,020 organization. But what you know, Senator Johnson, it's not a 373 00:23:01,020 --> 00:23:05,730 secret that these organizations exist. What is not widely known 374 00:23:05,730 --> 00:23:09,720 and talked about, is that it's paid for by us. It's paid for by 375 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,410 the taxpayers, in your omnibus spending bills that gets shoved 376 00:23:13,410 --> 00:23:15,780 through the House and the Senate, against the will of the 377 00:23:15,780 --> 00:23:19,140 people of this country. They are there are cutouts for these 378 00:23:19,140 --> 00:23:22,650 NGOs. And what they do is they launder this money, they pass it 379 00:23:22,650 --> 00:23:26,040 from one NGO to the next. And in the name of preventing the 380 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,210 spread of disinformation. They censor silence, intimidate and 381 00:23:30,210 --> 00:23:34,470 punish. I said that this is a death sentence for journalists. 382 00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,960 It's how you murder a journalist without killing them. 383 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,930 Adam Curry: Yeah, this this, of course, is a good point she's 384 00:23:39,930 --> 00:23:46,770 making how US ID gives us AI D gives money to these big NGOs 385 00:23:46,770 --> 00:23:50,040 and the NGOs. They then give away a lot of that money to all 386 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,470 these weird organizations. Yeah, it's it's a perfect system. And 387 00:23:55,470 --> 00:23:57,960 me if we do want to talk about disinformation, man, you had a 388 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,930 great rant over email when someone sent us his New York 389 00:24:00,930 --> 00:24:08,730 Times article about the secret CIA bases in Ukraine. Yeah, I 390 00:24:08,730 --> 00:24:14,190 mean, talk about propaganda. Right down to well, this is how 391 00:24:14,190 --> 00:24:19,050 we know that the Russian shot down the Malaysian airliner, and 392 00:24:19,050 --> 00:24:20,490 I mean, it's just it's crazy. 393 00:24:21,930 --> 00:24:23,700 John C Dvorak: Yeah, this was a long piece. I was in the New 394 00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:26,070 York Times I think it's been going around and it's obviously 395 00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:30,360 written by the CIA, to for whatever purposes has got just 396 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:36,510 loaded with material. And it says it's transparently a bogus 397 00:24:36,510 --> 00:24:41,760 article, but it was given one of those huge massive treatments. 398 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,440 Very long piece about 5000 words. Yeah. It was interesting. 399 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:55,080 Yeah. Yeah, I got hooked by it was just an eye opener. So I 400 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,150 read it. Yeah, it's an eye opener. All right. 401 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,700 Adam Curry: Yeah, Ah, yeah, gee, do you mean it's interesting? 402 00:25:02,730 --> 00:25:06,570 You mean we've been in there since 2014? Really? No you don't 403 00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:09,390 say I wonder how that started could it be with cookies? 404 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:12,720 Cookies Victoria Nuland cookies on the my daughter? Don't forget 405 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,690 Brenda was there I Brennan Yes, Brett who was all he's back 406 00:25:15,690 --> 00:25:17,700 again Brennan. I saw Yeah, he 407 00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:20,430 John C Dvorak: just got back for some reason they pushed him back 408 00:25:20,430 --> 00:25:22,680 out there. I don't know why he's unhinged. He's not saying 409 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,660 anything interesting. Unfortunate. No, and he's 410 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:29,070 annoying he's not like he's not he's not personable. He's not a 411 00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:33,660 good spokesperson. But he just seems like a creep he 412 00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:35,070 Adam Curry: doesn't have gems like this 413 00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:38,130 Unknown: people are innocent until alleged to be involved in 414 00:25:38,130 --> 00:25:39,450 some type of criminal activity. Yes. 415 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,060 John C Dvorak: Those are the all time classic. Those 416 00:25:42,060 --> 00:25:45,420 Adam Curry: are the gems we want. We want that stuff. Now 417 00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:48,000 he's Yeah, it's just annoying. There's nothing good coming out 418 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,250 about him. I don't know why odd. 419 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,700 John C Dvorak: So I wanted to I sent a bonus clip because I 420 00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:57,300 wanted to introduce a topic so we can all follow it. Okay. 421 00:25:57,330 --> 00:26:05,700 Which is the the, you are what you are? I know I am what I say 422 00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:10,680 you are which is being yourself multicopter the health, which is 423 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,810 a great phrase and Dutch. Yes, you are with aim. So I didn't 424 00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:18,870 want to do this at all. That means that's why I sent the 425 00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:25,500 bonus clip. Because this bonus clip is i is between three and 426 00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,280 five years old. I think it's hard to say because it showed up 427 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,250 on Tik Tok as part of a reiteration there's nothing to 428 00:26:32,250 --> 00:26:33,090 reiterate, 429 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:35,610 Adam Curry: it's a classic bonus clip. It's a 430 00:26:36,930 --> 00:26:40,020 John C Dvorak: clip, but they're reiterating some of this 431 00:26:40,020 --> 00:26:43,950 bullcrap that has never caught on. And this started with and 432 00:26:43,950 --> 00:26:47,100 what they're doing is they're finding the foibles of Biden 433 00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:51,480 and, and starting to project them on Trump. Oh, and so it's 434 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,870 good. And they're doing it consistently. And it started 435 00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:59,580 with Jen Psaki and others going, Biden and Trump are the same 436 00:26:59,610 --> 00:27:03,750 age. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, first of all, they're not the 437 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:07,740 same age, and they're not even in the same generation. It's 438 00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:10,890 only a short difference, like four years difference in age, I 439 00:27:10,890 --> 00:27:14,520 believe, which is a lot. But 440 00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:18,360 Adam Curry: up in those regions. Yeah. The difference between 77 441 00:27:18,390 --> 00:27:22,800 and 8181. Yeah, that makes a difference. I think it makes a 442 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:31,260 difference. If I can just say Richard Lewis dead at 76. That 443 00:27:32,430 --> 00:27:35,040 that feels now it was Parkinson's. He got Parkinson's. 444 00:27:35,730 --> 00:27:39,000 No, yeah, he was a wreck that feels that just feels bad. It 445 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,130 doesn't feel right. Sorry. 446 00:27:42,150 --> 00:27:46,020 John C Dvorak: So I've already Okay, well, I don't want to get 447 00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:50,790 into Richard Lewis. But so they're starting to do this they 448 00:27:50,790 --> 00:27:53,670 started with they're the same age, they're not the same age. 449 00:27:53,670 --> 00:27:56,550 They're not the same generation. That's which is even more 450 00:27:56,550 --> 00:28:01,470 important in the age. Also a notch than what triggered me to 451 00:28:01,470 --> 00:28:06,120 get this clip and some and discuss it a little bit was a 452 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,940 article in Microsoft start the Microsoft has this page that 453 00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:16,140 they throw at you every chance they get on your Windows 11 has 454 00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:18,870 a bunch of I have Windows what they trump propaganda. 455 00:28:19,140 --> 00:28:21,300 Adam Curry: Why don't I have start? Why don't I get this 456 00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:23,280 propaganda? If 457 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,160 John C Dvorak: you have a little weather bug in the left hand 458 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,490 corner of your screen? No, no, no, I don't. Okay, well, if you 459 00:28:29,490 --> 00:28:33,780 click on that, boom, it opens it up. You can't help it. So, but 460 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,600 there's a lot of anti Trump stuff and the thing that caught 461 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,760 my attention was Trump's show. Analysis of such such sins such 462 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:47,700 as speech shows Trump's mental decline, obvious mental decline, 463 00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,440 and this is all the stuff that they're talking about with 464 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:55,500 Biden. Yeah, so so. So the, this piece that comes out and I did a 465 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,500 little research on it, there was a an incident, I think it was in 466 00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:02,250 2020. Where somebody photoshopped Trump on the golf 467 00:29:02,250 --> 00:29:05,760 course. Which is why they they don't let anyone near the golf 468 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,040 courses when he's golfing anymore. You'll see too many 469 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,320 pictures of Trump golfing. No, because he looks fat because 470 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,640 somebody photoshopped some shit on his pants. Namie crapped 471 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,110 himself while he was on the golf course class and even and even 472 00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:23,370 Snopes should look it up because I photos quite funny and well 473 00:29:23,370 --> 00:29:25,200 done. But 474 00:29:26,370 --> 00:29:28,500 Adam Curry: AI man, it's 475 00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,550 John C Dvorak: not even AI. Pre AI with AI is going to be 476 00:29:32,550 --> 00:29:36,810 better. So we ended up with with stuff like this particular clip, 477 00:29:36,810 --> 00:29:43,530 which is a this was triggered I believe, by Adam Kissinger. Who 478 00:29:43,530 --> 00:29:48,510 is an asshole oh man, you're just on fire today. X Democrat 479 00:29:48,510 --> 00:29:52,050 who in December I think Iran just before Christmas came on to 480 00:29:52,050 --> 00:29:55,590 some of that one podcast or another and discussed how Trump 481 00:29:55,650 --> 00:29:59,490 stinks to high heaven. So if you're around I've never heard 482 00:29:59,490 --> 00:30:03,300 this before. But and you'd think that after years on the 483 00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:07,650 apprentice for years in office still floating around that 484 00:30:07,650 --> 00:30:12,270 somebody besides Adam Kissinger, who I don't believe even shook 485 00:30:12,270 --> 00:30:17,640 hands with Trump, ever, why would he? I think he's just a 486 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,000 lie. And I think this other thing, which I'm playing now is, 487 00:30:21,030 --> 00:30:23,580 is I think where a lot of this stems from they're trying to 488 00:30:23,610 --> 00:30:28,260 ignite this meme, which just doesn't make any sense. He would 489 00:30:28,290 --> 00:30:31,080 Unknown: often soiled himself on The Apprentice set. He's 490 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,860 incontinent from all the speed, all the Adderall, he does the 491 00:30:34,860 --> 00:30:38,070 cocaine that he's done for decades. All that stuff has a 492 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:42,120 laxative, and it has an effect on your, on your bowels and his 493 00:30:42,150 --> 00:30:47,040 or uncontrollable, he's worn diapers, since probably the 90s 494 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,360 but I saw it firsthand in the 2000s on Celebrity Apprentice 495 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:57,090 and late 2000s. And we'd have to stop the show and, and change 496 00:30:57,090 --> 00:30:59,130 him, you know, and that was Keith Schiller his job, he would 497 00:30:59,130 --> 00:31:02,550 take them off set, he would wipe them down, or nickname for Keith 498 00:31:02,550 --> 00:31:04,020 wet wipes comedian 499 00:31:04,020 --> 00:31:07,980 and former Trump worker Noel casler. spilled the beans to 500 00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:09,330 Midas touch. He'll also 501 00:31:09,330 --> 00:31:11,910 do it in a rage. And this is where it gets really drunk 502 00:31:11,910 --> 00:31:15,090 related. He'll start to freak out. You know, one time there 503 00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:19,260 was the word arbitrage on a cue card. And he started screaming 504 00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:21,600 that, you know, the script department was setting him up. 505 00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:24,870 You're setting me up and he just freaked out and then very 506 00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:29,250 loudly, evacuated his bowels. Oh, wow. 507 00:31:30,390 --> 00:31:33,630 Adam Curry: This is I don't care. I don't care what time in 508 00:31:33,630 --> 00:31:35,640 the show. It is. You're getting clipped for the day right off 509 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,920 the bat. Yeah. It's been a while. How can we not have had 510 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,100 this clip before? This is great news. So 511 00:31:44,190 --> 00:31:48,210 John C Dvorak: So couple of things. First of all, that he 512 00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:51,090 would get upset by the word arbitrage anyone is involved in 513 00:31:51,090 --> 00:31:53,640 negotiations or anything like that would net that word is 514 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,930 common, a common word to be used by people in finance. I 515 00:31:57,930 --> 00:32:00,870 Adam Curry: thought for a moment that he that Trump had was going 516 00:32:00,870 --> 00:32:03,900 to read his arbites rage and that's why he got mad but that's 517 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:06,690 not where the clip went. But yes, arbitrage Of course. 518 00:32:07,020 --> 00:32:09,120 John C Dvorak: Yeah. So that's not going to upset anybody. The 519 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,650 second thing is, is that Adderall and and cocaine do not 520 00:32:13,650 --> 00:32:18,900 cause incontinence where you it causes constipation, if anything 521 00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:22,260 if you do some research and look it up. So that's just a basic 522 00:32:22,260 --> 00:32:25,890 lie. So this guy comes out of the blue with this. And here's 523 00:32:25,890 --> 00:32:30,600 why it's ludicrous is because, first of all, we've never heard 524 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,500 of this before this guy and before Adam Kisan Kissinger 525 00:32:34,710 --> 00:32:39,960 Kisan grew, his last name is eluding me before these two 526 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,190 Boneheads. And you'd think that all those years of The 527 00:32:44,190 --> 00:32:47,010 Apprentice show that some contestant or somebody even 528 00:32:47,010 --> 00:32:49,620 though you signed nondisclosure is when you do these shows, 529 00:32:49,830 --> 00:32:53,220 you'd think somebody would say something about this. And then 530 00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:55,980 he goes for years of the presidency where they're going 531 00:32:55,980 --> 00:32:59,490 after him tooth and nail with everything. They've got Russian 532 00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:03,150 conspiracies, bad phone calls, you name it, and this doesn't 533 00:33:03,150 --> 00:33:07,710 come up. And now it comes up just before the election, and 534 00:33:07,710 --> 00:33:11,580 has been rien reintroduced to trying to. But again, this comes 535 00:33:11,580 --> 00:33:14,910 up along with the overseeing of mental decline and Trump in his 536 00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:17,910 speeches, we're seeing this regime that this is again, that 537 00:33:17,910 --> 00:33:21,870 Dutch phrase been, you know, applying perfectly to what's 538 00:33:21,870 --> 00:33:26,490 going on and people can just, this is, this is the lowest that 539 00:33:26,490 --> 00:33:27,930 you can go for the Democrats. 540 00:33:28,980 --> 00:33:31,170 Adam Curry: I'm sure they can now they can go lower. Come on, 541 00:33:31,230 --> 00:33:32,160 come on, they might 542 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,750 John C Dvorak: be able to go lower, but I don't know what 543 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:36,180 it's gonna be more we're gonna eat babies. 544 00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:43,980 Adam Curry: So, Joe Biden went into Walter Reed, and, and when 545 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:47,430 he came out of Walter Reed, I only found one clip with video 546 00:33:47,490 --> 00:33:51,330 dude, that is not Joe Biden, when he I think the key now is 547 00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:54,990 the Aviators. When he's wearing the Aviators, you got to pay 548 00:33:54,990 --> 00:33:59,850 attention to his gait. This was not not Joe Biden, the President 549 00:33:59,850 --> 00:34:03,300 this was someone else he comes strolling out he's got his 550 00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:09,240 aviators on you. Even his face looks just tighter. Tighter, you 551 00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:13,890 know, maybe it was a mask? I don't know. But the mask and 552 00:34:13,890 --> 00:34:17,460 then and then the answers for the press were hilarious. 553 00:34:17,489 --> 00:34:20,639 Unknown: The oldest president in US history left Walter Reed 554 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,809 National Military Medical Center triumphant after two and a half 555 00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:31,289 mination I'm triumph defended down a verdict of fit for duty. 556 00:34:32,009 --> 00:34:35,429 cognitive tests are not usually included in such examinations. 557 00:34:35,759 --> 00:34:38,819 And the White House rebuked any suggestion that this would be 558 00:34:38,819 --> 00:34:39,599 necessary. 559 00:34:39,870 --> 00:34:42,990 The President's doctor has says if you look at what this 560 00:34:42,990 --> 00:34:45,690 President the President who was also the Commander in Chief, he 561 00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:50,430 passes a cognitive test every day, every day as he moves from 562 00:34:50,460 --> 00:34:53,550 one topic to another topic of trying understanding the 563 00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:55,590 granular level of these topics 564 00:34:55,860 --> 00:34:57,630 face after polling showed that 565 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,260 Adam Curry: this is that's proof you goes from one topic to the 566 00:35:01,260 --> 00:35:04,500 next topic. That's just Goofy's. He knows what he's doing he 567 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:06,600 knows is on another topic. 76% 568 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,510 Unknown: of us voters have misgivings about the President's 569 00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:13,560 age in the run up to the 2024 presidential race. A recent 570 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,290 report, exonerating Joe Biden over the possession of 571 00:35:16,290 --> 00:35:19,470 classified documents after leaving office in 27. Blah, 572 00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:19,710 blah. 573 00:35:20,580 --> 00:35:23,970 Adam Curry: And then I got I got two clips from his NBC Seth 574 00:35:23,970 --> 00:35:28,320 Meyers appearance. I know, I've got to wonder if this was if 575 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,250 this was also the the other Biden we just call them dark 576 00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:35,700 Brandon, I think is the other the other Biden is dark, 577 00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:39,060 Brandon. I mean, did you watch that interview? 578 00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:41,490 John C Dvorak: I watched part of it, and I was gonna get some 579 00:35:41,490 --> 00:35:44,580 clips from it. But for some reason I didn't do well, I 580 00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:45,570 Adam Curry: got to I got to. 581 00:35:45,630 --> 00:35:47,130 John C Dvorak: I'm glad you got yeah, here we go. It does 582 00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:50,100 Unknown: seem as though democracy in vague terms 583 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,730 somehow, is not easy for us to grasp, having dealt with 584 00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:56,760 dictators. What do you see in a world where democracy is 585 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,730 actually at risk in a way it might be in this election? 586 00:35:59,970 --> 00:36:04,260 So first of all do a dictators do is they disregard whatever 587 00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:08,400 the rule of law is? They just disregard it. Here's the guy who 588 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,910 says he wants to, he thinks he can change the constitution and 589 00:36:11,910 --> 00:36:14,850 ignore it. Just ignore portion of the Constitution. Here's the 590 00:36:14,850 --> 00:36:18,480 guy who talks about retribution. Here's the guy. Look, you have a 591 00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:22,860 lot of guys, the 1000s of people who stormed the Capitol, 592 00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:27,180 storming the capitol for insurrectionist. Two cops died. 593 00:36:27,540 --> 00:36:31,590 Other people were badly hurt. And what did he say? Listen to 594 00:36:31,590 --> 00:36:35,490 these lies, they got convicted and or they pled guilty. And he 595 00:36:35,490 --> 00:36:40,650 said, they're patriots, good patriots. And he says he's going 596 00:36:40,650 --> 00:36:43,770 to forgive them all. He's going to you're going to every one of 597 00:36:43,770 --> 00:36:47,820 them is going to be released. What is I mean, that that's what 598 00:36:47,820 --> 00:36:50,790 happens in Eastern European countries. What happens in 599 00:36:50,790 --> 00:36:52,110 America, in 600 00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:54,510 Adam Curry: Eastern European countries is what you did to 601 00:36:54,510 --> 00:36:59,580 them. This was interesting. He gets he mixes it up in Eastern 602 00:36:59,580 --> 00:37:02,910 European countries, they don't let people go. Am I 603 00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:08,490 misunderstanding? It's a great point. Yeah, he's nuts. And then 604 00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:11,340 then he puts his foot in it with this one, again, 605 00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:12,990 Unknown: you seem like an optimistic person that you 606 00:37:12,990 --> 00:37:15,930 believe maybe there's a future for a two state solution before 607 00:37:15,930 --> 00:37:18,000 I'm sitting. It does seem like there doesn't seem to be any 608 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,050 appetite for that right now. Do you see what is? Because again, 609 00:37:22,050 --> 00:37:24,990 we see this horrible everyday we see this horrible images out of 610 00:37:24,990 --> 00:37:30,120 Gaza. And is there a path forward? Is there a safe future 611 00:37:30,270 --> 00:37:32,160 for the people who live there? There is 612 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,190 a path forward with difficulty. But here's the path forward. 613 00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:39,540 Look, first of all, there are the hostages being held must be 614 00:37:39,540 --> 00:37:42,870 released. And then we've got a decent principle agreement. 615 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:46,620 There'll be a ceasefire, while that takes place. Ramadan is 616 00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:49,020 coming up. And there's been an agreement by the Israelis that 617 00:37:49,020 --> 00:37:53,250 they would not engage in activities during Ramadan as 618 00:37:53,250 --> 00:37:56,580 well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out. 619 00:37:56,970 --> 00:37:57,720 That gives us 620 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:00,510 Adam Curry: I just listened to this. You're right. But just for 621 00:38:00,510 --> 00:38:04,740 being yourself, who's on Coker speed here? That's this guy 622 00:38:04,770 --> 00:38:08,100 Unknown: time to get all the hostages out. That gives us time 623 00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,700 to begin to move in directions that a lot of Arab countries are 624 00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:14,520 prepared to move in, for example, Saudi Arabia is ready 625 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:20,130 to recognize Israel, Jordan is Egypt, for six other states have 626 00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:24,990 been working with Qatar. And the bottom line is that I'm not I 627 00:38:24,990 --> 00:38:28,710 think the only way Israel ultimately survives, and I make 628 00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:31,260 no bones about it. I get criticized for having said a 629 00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:35,580 long time ago, you need not be a Jew to be a Zionist, Zionist, or 630 00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:38,070 the No, Israel does not enjoy in the world to be safe. 631 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,600 Adam Curry: Oh, no one briefed him that was not a good idea to 632 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:48,030 say that. That's like third rail. Amazon has 633 00:38:48,060 --> 00:38:51,660 John C Dvorak: he's he's right about the he's right about the 634 00:38:51,660 --> 00:38:56,010 fact that he has said that. Yes, he has. Its it has been 635 00:38:56,010 --> 00:39:00,450 recorded. So I'm not sure why I felt the need to say it because 636 00:39:00,450 --> 00:39:04,050 he's, he's nuts. So he is nuts. 637 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,910 Adam Curry: And but but the anti Trump stuff is great. I mean, 638 00:39:09,270 --> 00:39:13,980 it's back to 2015. I mean, bring on Reverend Al Sharpton, please. 639 00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:21,270 Unknown: I repeat the insult of saying that black voters would 640 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,400 in some way, be enticed to support him because he had a mug 641 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,870 shot like all of us who are criminals, or to say that 642 00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:35,370 because he has four indictments, one of which are really two of 643 00:39:35,370 --> 00:39:39,690 which have Georgia and the Federal around him trying to rob 644 00:39:39,690 --> 00:39:43,470 votings when we had to fight, people were bloody beaten and 645 00:39:43,470 --> 00:39:47,640 killed to get us the right to vote. And one person one of his 646 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,660 supporters got on Fox News saying blacks love him because 647 00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:54,960 of the sneakers. Let me get this right. If you didn't support 648 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,840 George Floyd justice as a policing like Biden did, and 649 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,960 signed an executive order he didn't support the job. On Louis 650 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,280 voting rights, but we supposed to go for sneakers and a mug 651 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,970 shot. And those blacks that are standing there with him, Have 652 00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:13,230 you no shame. That does it for me. Thanks for watching. 653 00:40:14,340 --> 00:40:17,700 Adam Curry: Oh, I was so great. Let's listen to the to the black 654 00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:18,690 sneaker guy, 655 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,540 Unknown: even the sneaker thing. I was on social media last 656 00:40:21,540 --> 00:40:23,700 night. I don't think this guy's black, by the way. Very 657 00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:28,410 interesting, as you see black support eroding from Joe Biden, 658 00:40:28,830 --> 00:40:31,650 this is connecting with black America, because they love 659 00:40:31,650 --> 00:40:32,910 sneakers or into sneakers. They 660 00:40:32,910 --> 00:40:34,590 love the deal, 661 00:40:34,740 --> 00:40:38,460 certainly in the inner city, is Fox News. Of course, when you 662 00:40:38,460 --> 00:40:41,220 have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, wait a 663 00:40:41,220 --> 00:40:44,520 minute, this is cool. He's reaching them on a level that 664 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,330 defies and is above politics, the culture, always Trump's 665 00:40:48,330 --> 00:40:52,290 politics. And Trump understands culture, like no politician I've 666 00:40:52,290 --> 00:40:52,800 ever seen. 667 00:40:52,890 --> 00:40:56,310 Adam Curry: He understands it. So well. This is this is what he 668 00:40:56,310 --> 00:40:58,740 said. And his most recent when these 669 00:40:58,740 --> 00:41:01,740 Unknown: lights are so bright in my eyes that I can't see too 670 00:41:01,740 --> 00:41:07,530 many people out there. But I can only see the black ones. I can't 671 00:41:07,530 --> 00:41:12,600 see any white ones. That's how far I've come. That's how far 672 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,710 I've come. That's a long, that's a long way. 673 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,880 We've come a long way together. 674 00:41:24,060 --> 00:41:27,660 Adam Curry: Who else can say that? Well, this 675 00:41:27,660 --> 00:41:29,790 John C Dvorak: was of course in front of the black. Yes, of 676 00:41:29,790 --> 00:41:32,460 course it was conservative Federation or whatever it's 677 00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:35,250 called. Yes. And he put it but that's you know, the funny thing 678 00:41:35,250 --> 00:41:39,300 is I don't have the whole thing. But one of the shows on Fox? 679 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,220 Because it was a counter to the guy's like K part override. Oh, 680 00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:47,190 yeah, of course. We saw that as this is the most racist thing. I 681 00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:50,850 can't imagine anyone saying this is a racist, racist. And he went 682 00:41:50,850 --> 00:41:54,420 on. So they played different clips from parts. I got to get 683 00:41:54,420 --> 00:41:57,510 the whole thing. Because what happened with this with this 684 00:41:57,510 --> 00:42:02,250 speech? Is that his prompt or went out right away. Oh, 685 00:42:02,250 --> 00:42:06,780 excellent sabotage. So he was sabotage right at the beginning. 686 00:42:06,990 --> 00:42:13,950 And he still did a 45 minute set. That killed every second 687 00:42:13,950 --> 00:42:17,940 segment I've seen of it so far it killed was just hilarious. 688 00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:18,180 His 689 00:42:18,180 --> 00:42:20,790 Adam Curry: set killed so much Richard Lewis died. That's how 690 00:42:20,790 --> 00:42:22,740 good it was. It just killed. 691 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,370 John C Dvorak: He's doing bits like he's doing the one bit I 692 00:42:26,370 --> 00:42:29,430 remember. But he's doing firstly, does his Joe Biden 693 00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:33,360 staggering around bit, which is new. And he doesn't do it that 694 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,360 often. But when he does it as funny. So he stagger around 695 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,150 doing Joe biases. And Joe has asked a question is what's your 696 00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:42,870 favorite color? And what's your favorite ice cream flavor? And 697 00:42:42,870 --> 00:42:47,310 he says, of course, he said, My favorite color is black. And my 698 00:42:47,310 --> 00:42:52,860 favorite ice cream is vanilla. And he's getting killing you. 699 00:42:52,980 --> 00:42:57,030 roars laugh, you're feeling these gags Yeah. And he's ad 700 00:42:57,030 --> 00:43:00,000 libbing the whole 45 minutes. Yeah, 701 00:43:00,030 --> 00:43:00,930 Adam Curry: that's impressive. 702 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,870 John C Dvorak: He's impressive insofar as the Schumer is 703 00:43:03,870 --> 00:43:07,680 concerned. He's not impressive to me, by the fact that he 704 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:13,830 didn't pardon, Julian Assange. But we'll leave that for another 705 00:43:13,830 --> 00:43:14,160 day. 706 00:43:14,190 --> 00:43:16,680 Adam Curry: I mean, and his pushing of the VAX is not very 707 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,490 impressive either. And not saying yeah, 708 00:43:20,490 --> 00:43:22,680 John C Dvorak: he's awfully funny. 709 00:43:23,190 --> 00:43:27,570 Adam Curry: So everyone is so unhinged that Reverend Al is 710 00:43:27,570 --> 00:43:29,070 doing super cuts again, 711 00:43:29,130 --> 00:43:33,720 Unknown: pushing proven conspiracy theory is that 712 00:43:34,110 --> 00:43:38,220 pushing proven that they were not match with conspiracy 713 00:43:38,220 --> 00:43:43,470 theories Jen Sakhi yesterday President Biden revenue. Rep 714 00:43:43,470 --> 00:43:49,830 President Biden Vodun quote, bye bye fruit bifurcate laws that 715 00:43:49,860 --> 00:43:53,550 criminalize conceptual gay second, California. What are 716 00:43:53,550 --> 00:43:58,200 your thoughts? How do we I mean, some say he's Jim Jones or Jim 717 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:04,080 Jordan with a jacket on he co authored the bill on a to Israel 718 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,060 and retrained recurring. 719 00:44:07,830 --> 00:44:11,610 John C Dvorak: Brain was back else bash about timing you would 720 00:44:11,610 --> 00:44:14,790 happen you must have lost an editor so he's befuddled 721 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,350 Adam Curry: by love a producer he's befuddled is great. It's 722 00:44:19,350 --> 00:44:26,490 great. Oh my goodness. It's so funny. And let me see what did I 723 00:44:26,490 --> 00:44:29,760 have? Well, there is some serious news. Of course. 724 00:44:30,270 --> 00:44:32,640 John C Dvorak: You still on call? I do have one COVID clip? 725 00:44:32,820 --> 00:44:33,210 Oh, 726 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:36,690 Adam Curry: I've gone way past COVID I'm on Trump and Biden. 727 00:44:36,690 --> 00:44:37,260 Where are you? 728 00:44:37,290 --> 00:44:40,230 John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm backing it up. Okay. Because I want to 729 00:44:40,230 --> 00:44:43,470 at least get this out of the way. There's a woman in 730 00:44:43,470 --> 00:44:49,140 Australia. This is this is a version of who said that gal in 731 00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:53,460 Ireland that we like to play her daily. Claire day. This is the 732 00:44:53,550 --> 00:44:58,710 this is a Claire Daly of Australia reading the riot act 733 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,400 to the Australian In parliament, she's in Parliament. And she's 734 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:07,320 in some obscure party like one Australia, so some very minor 735 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,220 party. But I thought that this rant is worth getting on our 736 00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:15,930 show, because we love these rants anyway. And this is Paulo 737 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,520 Pallone. Hansen, 738 00:45:17,730 --> 00:45:20,490 Unknown: folks today has seen an important victory in the fight 739 00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:23,700 for freedom and human rights in Australia. The Queensland 740 00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:27,570 Supreme Court today determined that COVID-19 vaccine mandates 741 00:45:27,690 --> 00:45:31,800 imposed on placing health workers were unlawful. The 742 00:45:31,830 --> 00:45:34,770 Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health were wrong to 743 00:45:34,770 --> 00:45:38,100 force mandates on their organizations. I said from the 744 00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:42,930 start these mandates were wrong. I said from the start, they 745 00:45:42,930 --> 00:45:46,650 contravene section 51 part 23 A of the Constitution which 746 00:45:46,650 --> 00:45:50,190 prohibits civil construction through the provision of medical 747 00:45:50,190 --> 00:45:55,350 services. One Nation was the only party sign it I said from 748 00:45:55,350 --> 00:45:59,070 the start the mandate should be unlawful. I introduced 749 00:45:59,070 --> 00:46:01,560 legislation in this Parliament that would have made certain 750 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,820 they were unlawful. With a couple of notable exceptions, 751 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,930 the government opposition greens Jacqui Lambie, and other 752 00:46:09,930 --> 00:46:17,550 independents refused to support my bill. You all got it wrong. I 753 00:46:17,550 --> 00:46:21,930 feel vindicated once again that I have got things right, and I'm 754 00:46:21,930 --> 00:46:24,780 in tune with the Australian people. You didn't care that 755 00:46:24,780 --> 00:46:27,630 people were being coerced into vaccination at risk of their 756 00:46:27,630 --> 00:46:31,050 jobs. You didn't care the individual freedoms rights you 757 00:46:31,050 --> 00:46:34,110 were supposed to defend and protect were under attacked. You 758 00:46:34,110 --> 00:46:36,840 relish the power state governments were make taking 759 00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:42,030 from their citizens, you cheered them on, you were wrong. One 760 00:46:42,030 --> 00:46:44,520 Nation was right, because we were standing up for the 761 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,460 individual freedoms and constitutional authority that 762 00:46:47,460 --> 00:46:51,420 underpin Australian democracy. You didn't and you attacked us 763 00:46:51,420 --> 00:46:54,690 for it. You were wrong. This decision by the Queensland 764 00:46:54,690 --> 00:46:57,360 Supreme Court makes it paramount. We have a Royal 765 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,620 Commission into the COVID 19 pandemic, the Prime Minister's 766 00:47:01,620 --> 00:47:05,880 Toothless inquiry must be abandoned on a Royal Commission 767 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,710 can compel the secret advice that led to these unlawful 768 00:47:10,740 --> 00:47:14,880 vaccine mandates in Queensland. And I feel for the firefighters 769 00:47:14,970 --> 00:47:18,510 that have gone through it as well in New South Wales. And the 770 00:47:18,510 --> 00:47:19,050 call 771 00:47:19,770 --> 00:47:24,690 Adam Curry: was a bummer clip. But since you're doing that, 772 00:47:24,690 --> 00:47:29,250 yes, the season of reveal is upon us. And this clip is from 773 00:47:29,250 --> 00:47:35,100 Bloomberg Bloomberg who does serious business news. And the 774 00:47:35,130 --> 00:47:39,600 so the Bloomberg host is talking to a medical doctor who was a 775 00:47:39,630 --> 00:47:44,820 reporter for Bloomberg and talking about how COVID Cause 776 00:47:44,850 --> 00:47:49,470 all these other illnesses. And then he slips in a VAX question 777 00:47:49,470 --> 00:47:52,590 her answer, surprising to say the least 778 00:47:52,620 --> 00:47:55,080 Unknown: was it just heart disease rates that were worsened 779 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,620 by COVID, or whether other ailments that were pressured by 780 00:47:58,620 --> 00:47:59,280 this pandemic? 781 00:48:01,290 --> 00:48:04,920 You know, COVID was terrible for every part of your body, we saw 782 00:48:04,950 --> 00:48:08,580 increases in diabetes, we saw increases in stroke, we saw 783 00:48:08,580 --> 00:48:11,640 increases in atrial fibrillation, and even things 784 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,490 you wouldn't normally tie to something like an infectious 785 00:48:14,490 --> 00:48:18,150 disease. We were seeing more Alzheimer's disease, for 786 00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:22,740 example, and even cancer. So absolutely. COVID was bad all 787 00:48:22,740 --> 00:48:25,380 around every part of our bodies. Why 788 00:48:25,380 --> 00:48:26,430 is that? An 789 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,300 Adam Curry: outstanding question. So why? Why is that, 790 00:48:30,510 --> 00:48:33,180 that all of this happened because of COVID. And he slips 791 00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:33,840 it in been. 792 00:48:33,870 --> 00:48:36,360 Unknown: And if you were inoculated, if you had the 793 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,870 vaccine, where you better protected from from some of 794 00:48:39,870 --> 00:48:43,980 those factors, what was behind the reason for the uptick in all 795 00:48:43,980 --> 00:48:46,050 of those different ailments? Right, 796 00:48:46,050 --> 00:48:48,330 such a great question. And that's exactly what scientists 797 00:48:48,330 --> 00:48:49,590 are trying to get to the bottom of 798 00:48:49,590 --> 00:48:51,630 Adam Curry: now. It's such a great question. Scientists are 799 00:48:51,630 --> 00:48:53,700 trying to get to the bottom of it now, right, 800 00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:56,460 Unknown: because, of course, it wasn't just that people were 801 00:48:56,460 --> 00:48:59,310 getting infected, and that infection was killing them. That 802 00:48:59,310 --> 00:49:02,220 infection was also doing other things to our healthcare system, 803 00:49:02,220 --> 00:49:05,910 for example. So people weren't doing things like going to the 804 00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:08,730 to the doctor, they were not getting the cancer screening 805 00:49:08,730 --> 00:49:11,580 that they normally would have. And in some cases, healthcare 806 00:49:11,580 --> 00:49:14,670 systems were overwhelmed. So they stopped doing things. She 807 00:49:14,670 --> 00:49:17,070 Adam Curry: could just leave it at this, but she just goes on 808 00:49:17,070 --> 00:49:19,110 and she reveals, oh, 809 00:49:19,140 --> 00:49:22,770 Unknown: they can just any kind of preventative, elective 810 00:49:22,770 --> 00:49:27,210 surgeries and other types of, you know, emergency rooms were 811 00:49:27,210 --> 00:49:29,310 closed, everything was overwhelmed. So there was 812 00:49:29,310 --> 00:49:32,010 definitely some fallout from that. But also, your other 813 00:49:32,010 --> 00:49:35,670 question is, is also a very hot topic and that we saw a lot of 814 00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:39,030 questions today on our tea live. People want to know how bad were 815 00:49:39,030 --> 00:49:42,240 the vaccines? To what extent was that contributing, and the 816 00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:45,390 research is really unequivocal on this? There's no doubt that 817 00:49:45,390 --> 00:49:49,200 vaccines did cause some harm, but it was far outweighed by the 818 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,350 numbers of lives that were saved from the vaccinations. That's 819 00:49:52,350 --> 00:49:55,170 the takeaway message, of course, that that the doctors 820 00:49:55,170 --> 00:49:57,990 scientists, researchers want everyone to know. Of course it 821 00:49:57,990 --> 00:50:00,660 is troubling if you're the one on the other end. and had some 822 00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:04,830 kind of a bad side effects from COVID vaccine just like with any 823 00:50:04,830 --> 00:50:07,860 vaccine, sometimes that does happen. But again, those 824 00:50:07,860 --> 00:50:11,850 benefits including saving lives really did offset the risks so 825 00:50:11,850 --> 00:50:15,900 Adam Curry: we saved or created more lives than we killed. And 826 00:50:15,900 --> 00:50:20,340 that's what doctors want you to know. It's safe and effective. 827 00:50:21,660 --> 00:50:25,230 It's no it's just coming out now now they they just had the 828 00:50:25,230 --> 00:50:28,920 reporters are doing it not of course, on Good Morning America, 829 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,030 America's favorite Doctor Dr. Jenn. Know we have new New 830 00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:37,290 information has come out. New stuff has come to light that 831 00:50:37,290 --> 00:50:39,840 explains all of these heart attacks 832 00:50:39,870 --> 00:50:42,960 Unknown: now to a GMA Health Alert for the over 48 minutes. 833 00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:46,980 Adam Curry: By the way, it's a health alert people alert alert 834 00:50:47,010 --> 00:50:47,190 now 835 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:50,220 Unknown: to a GMA Health Alert for the over 48 million 836 00:50:50,220 --> 00:50:53,670 Americans who report using marijuana. A new study found 837 00:50:54,330 --> 00:50:57,420 that daily maybe increasing a risk of having a heart attack or 838 00:50:57,420 --> 00:51:00,150 stroke. Our CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT Dr. Jennifer 839 00:51:00,150 --> 00:51:02,970 Ashton is here with more doc tell us about this study. My 840 00:51:02,970 --> 00:51:06,870 friends have two very common things cannabis use heart 841 00:51:06,870 --> 00:51:10,500 disease. This study done by the CDC was really looking to answer 842 00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:13,200 the question, is there an association and after 843 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:18,840 controlling for key factors like age, diabetes, tobacco use, what 844 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:23,400 they found seemed to suggest that there was seem to suggest 845 00:51:23,670 --> 00:51:25,410 this study found a 25 846 00:51:26,550 --> 00:51:29,550 Adam Curry: just suggest the CDC the same people who told you 847 00:51:29,550 --> 00:51:30,780 it's safe and effective 848 00:51:30,810 --> 00:51:35,310 Unknown: that there was this study found a 25% increase odds 849 00:51:35,340 --> 00:51:40,140 of having a heart attack with daily marijuana users a 42% 850 00:51:40,140 --> 00:51:44,850 higher odds of having a stroke. Again with daily use loud assess 851 00:51:47,460 --> 00:51:50,370 how you consume it, if you smoke it over the edibles well, 852 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,100 you sound like you're the researcher there. They mentioned 853 00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:56,130 this as the limitation of which there are many in the way they 854 00:51:56,130 --> 00:52:00,510 did this study. They didn't show an answer between smoking or 855 00:52:00,510 --> 00:52:04,950 vaping or edible use. They need to do that research. Oh, so 856 00:52:04,980 --> 00:52:08,310 Adam Curry: an edible an edible give you a stroke. Oh, let's 857 00:52:08,310 --> 00:52:10,920 talk to Ann Thompson over at NBC. This 858 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,370 Unknown: new study makes it clear smoking cannabis is like 859 00:52:14,370 --> 00:52:18,240 smoking tobacco. Dangerous to your heart. B 860 00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,910 cannabis is not an innocent bystander when it comes to 861 00:52:20,910 --> 00:52:22,410 cardiovascular disease. 862 00:52:22,530 --> 00:52:22,680 The 863 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,590 research published in today's Journal of the American Heart 864 00:52:25,590 --> 00:52:29,610 Association found people who use cannabis every day primarily 865 00:52:29,610 --> 00:52:33,990 through smoking had a 25% increased risk of heart attack. 866 00:52:33,990 --> 00:52:36,540 Adam Curry: The interesting interesting that Dr. Jen didn't 867 00:52:36,540 --> 00:52:39,180 have that study in this lady appears to have that in the 868 00:52:39,180 --> 00:52:41,100 study. I'm confused 82% 869 00:52:41,130 --> 00:52:44,880 Unknown: increased risk of stroke compared to nonusers. 870 00:52:45,090 --> 00:52:48,090 This is one of the largest studies to look at cannabis and 871 00:52:48,090 --> 00:52:53,280 cardiovascular events, reviewing data from nearly 435,000 872 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,900 Americans. Do you remember 873 00:52:55,140 --> 00:52:58,170 Adam Curry: when they were when the I may be wrong here but when 874 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,800 when the talk of legalization was really heating up? And I'm 875 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,910 talking eight, nine years ago, do you remember there were no 876 00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:10,410 studies on on marijuana? They just wouldn't do them. Do you 877 00:53:10,410 --> 00:53:12,630 remember that? Am I remember? There was 878 00:53:12,630 --> 00:53:14,880 John C Dvorak: a big there was actually even years before that. 879 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,740 There was a 60 minute show and it was still a good show that 880 00:53:19,740 --> 00:53:23,670 where they had to go to get any marijuana studies. They had to 881 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:26,250 go to Israel where they have just one scientist who was 882 00:53:26,250 --> 00:53:29,430 kicking ass over there. And there was none of this sort of 883 00:53:29,430 --> 00:53:33,840 thing. We didn't have any cover up for the vaccine. Yes. This is 884 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:37,710 a CDC looking for it. Hey, what's the what's what's 885 00:53:37,710 --> 00:53:39,990 happening society that we can blame this and well, they 886 00:53:39,990 --> 00:53:44,880 legalized marijuana a few years ago. That gives me an idea. 887 00:53:46,740 --> 00:53:50,190 Adam Curry: Hey, let's have a meeting. I know called Dr. Jen 888 00:53:50,190 --> 00:53:53,250 America's favorite doctor. Yeah, she'll buy it anything. 889 00:53:53,970 --> 00:53:55,920 Meanwhile, controlled. 890 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:57,060 John C Dvorak: Good find. 891 00:53:57,090 --> 00:54:00,930 Adam Curry: Yeah, well, there's a good find by their controlled 892 00:54:00,930 --> 00:54:04,680 opportunists. Dr. Phil was out promoting his book and his 893 00:54:04,710 --> 00:54:07,890 forthcoming Television Network, which I think launch day we just 894 00:54:07,890 --> 00:54:10,620 launched I'm not sure should be launching in any day now. 895 00:54:10,620 --> 00:54:15,150 John C Dvorak: Who would know? We'll never see it. And he's Oh, 896 00:54:15,150 --> 00:54:16,200 remember? Oh, 897 00:54:16,950 --> 00:54:21,570 Adam Curry: wow. I gotta tell you about Oprah. She She's 898 00:54:21,570 --> 00:54:25,620 leaving the weightwatchers board and is giving away all of her 899 00:54:25,620 --> 00:54:26,370 stock. 900 00:54:26,790 --> 00:54:29,250 John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, the stock is collapsing because of 901 00:54:29,250 --> 00:54:33,540 ozempic. Exactly. They felt the loss something like 80 million 902 00:54:33,540 --> 00:54:36,030 last quarter something Yeah, huge amount of money. 903 00:54:36,060 --> 00:54:38,340 Adam Curry: I think she also wants to distance herself from 904 00:54:38,340 --> 00:54:42,420 it. But I think she knows something. Say I want nothing to 905 00:54:42,420 --> 00:54:45,810 do with it. I only I used it and I'm ashamed of it. And I gotta 906 00:54:45,810 --> 00:54:50,040 get over the shame and I'm distancing myself from all of 907 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,750 that. I think she knows that now. Anyway, so Dr. Phil goes on 908 00:54:54,750 --> 00:54:59,490 the view. And this is good and schools the ladies and 909 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:04,770 Unknown: like oh Wait, oh nine smartphones came on. And, and 910 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,920 kids started, they stopped living their lives and started 911 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:12,060 watching people live their lives. And so we saw the biggest 912 00:55:12,060 --> 00:55:15,960 spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness 913 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:21,180 and suicidality, since records have ever been kept, and it's 914 00:55:21,180 --> 00:55:26,160 just continued on and on and on. And then COVID hits 10 years 915 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,930 later, and the same agencies that knew that are the agencies 916 00:55:30,930 --> 00:55:35,790 that shut down the schools for two years. Who does that, who 917 00:55:35,790 --> 00:55:39,150 takes away the support system for these children? Who takes 918 00:55:39,150 --> 00:55:42,510 them away to shut it down? And by the way, when they shut it 919 00:55:42,510 --> 00:55:46,410 down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see 920 00:55:46,410 --> 00:55:49,620 children that were being abused and sexually molested, and in 921 00:55:49,620 --> 00:55:53,370 fact, sent them home and abandon them to their abusers. With no 922 00:55:53,370 --> 00:55:57,150 way to watch and referrals dropped 50 to 60%. So, yeah, 923 00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:00,090 it was they were trying to say they were trying to save kids 924 00:56:00,090 --> 00:56:05,040 lives. Remember, we know a lot of folks who died during this. 925 00:56:05,460 --> 00:56:08,970 It was people were laying around. But well, you know what, 926 00:56:08,970 --> 00:56:12,210 we're lucky. Maybe we're lucky they didn't because we kept them 927 00:56:12,210 --> 00:56:17,370 out of the the places that they could be sick because no one 928 00:56:17,370 --> 00:56:18,150 wants to believe we 929 00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:21,150 are you saying no school children died of COVID. 930 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,620 I'm saying it was the safest group. They were the less 931 00:56:25,620 --> 00:56:30,330 vulnerable group. And they suffered and will suffer more 932 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,020 from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure 933 00:56:34,020 --> 00:56:37,020 to COVID. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact. 934 00:56:40,380 --> 00:56:42,480 We don't even have time to talk it out. 935 00:56:43,260 --> 00:56:47,130 Adam Curry: I'm sorry, man. By the time man. Got no time to 936 00:56:47,130 --> 00:56:53,280 talk it out man. Who's the man? suicidality? Is that an actual 937 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,720 word is a new word? Well, there is suicidality. A new 938 00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:00,150 Unknown: study details a troubling increase in the number 939 00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:04,650 of teenagers on antidepressants, prescriptions have risen by 65%. 940 00:57:04,650 --> 00:57:08,340 Since the pandemic girls make up the majority of the increase, a 941 00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:11,760 study notes that antidepressants can be used for many conditions 942 00:57:11,790 --> 00:57:13,740 other than depression and anxiety. 943 00:57:13,980 --> 00:57:21,840 Adam Curry: Like what what what are you using it for snuffer 944 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,360 John C Dvorak: as again, you're so jacked up and go do a school 945 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,110 shooting, 946 00:57:25,620 --> 00:57:29,010 Adam Curry: you know, are useful for that I got a note boots on 947 00:57:29,010 --> 00:57:33,540 the ground. My wife is a PhD candidate in psychology, she and 948 00:57:33,540 --> 00:57:37,950 other psychologists have told me a possible mechanism as to why 949 00:57:37,950 --> 00:57:42,450 SSRIs could cause violence like school shootings. Before taking 950 00:57:42,450 --> 00:57:45,960 medication, they have children, they have very little energy. 951 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:50,610 The medication gives them energy to get through the day. However, 952 00:57:50,610 --> 00:57:53,940 they say if you combine depression with a new increased 953 00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:57,690 energy level, this can lead to suicide for some and even 954 00:57:57,690 --> 00:58:10,680 violent towards others. Just okay. It's also sick. Here we 955 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,800 were I went looking for that lawn order clip. I wish someone 956 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:14,610 could find it 957 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,030 John C Dvorak: is 208. You know, it's from the it's from the spin 958 00:58:18,060 --> 00:58:21,030 it that clip Ralt let's see what that was. 959 00:58:21,180 --> 00:58:25,890 Adam Curry: I had the Okay, what we're looking for a fictional 960 00:58:25,890 --> 00:58:27,960 account of the elites 961 00:58:30,180 --> 00:58:31,950 John C Dvorak: stealing Vax Vax 962 00:58:31,950 --> 00:58:36,120 Adam Curry: parties, and here's the here's the underlying part 963 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,600 for me. I know a very wealthy guy in the Netherlands who's 964 00:58:39,630 --> 00:58:46,440 older at the time of COVID. I think he was 7071. And the way 965 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,320 the Netherlands the way their vac system was set up, of 966 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,980 course, it's socialized healthcare. So you have to go 967 00:58:52,980 --> 00:58:55,530 sit in the same room with everybody else and wait your 968 00:58:55,530 --> 00:59:01,560 turn to see the doctor. But he threw money acquired not one, 969 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,550 not two, not three, but four shots. He said I wanted as much 970 00:59:05,550 --> 00:59:12,240 as possible. work. And so we I was rereading one of Naomi 971 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,710 Wolf's accounts of going back to New York to the you know, the 972 00:59:16,740 --> 00:59:21,870 the Upper East Side. And she talks about the same ladies who 973 00:59:21,870 --> 00:59:26,370 were mostly dressed in post Marxist neat. So the Upper East 974 00:59:26,370 --> 00:59:31,110 Side ladies who lunch too had been the, the site sinoder of 975 00:59:31,140 --> 00:59:35,070 urban fashion, urbane fashion who had until recently dress for 976 00:59:35,070 --> 00:59:37,890 every outing to outdo one another and to champion their 977 00:59:37,890 --> 00:59:41,250 favorite designers would dress now not even in fashion indeed, 978 00:59:41,370 --> 00:59:45,630 fashion seem no longer to exist. For 2020 These ladies would have 979 00:59:45,630 --> 00:59:49,050 been in chic blacktail cocktail dresses, red frogs with low 980 00:59:49,050 --> 00:59:52,230 backs are eggshell white dresses.

And I just thought it was so funny 1061 01:05:05,940 --> 01:05:09,450 because I think phony Willis is very funny is a good phrase. 1062 01:05:10,170 --> 01:05:12,270 Adam Curry: Well, I guess, I guess the whole point is that 1063 01:05:12,270 --> 01:05:15,840 she perjured herself. So so whatever. 1064 01:05:16,410 --> 01:05:19,650 John C Dvorak: Well, they get. Yeah. Well, my favorite was they 1065 01:05:19,650 --> 01:05:24,480 asked that guy is her boyfriend. He's had some direct questions 1066 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,300 that we have the phone cell data showing that you were at her 1067 01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:30,930 house. Yeah. And you were overnight and they was on and on 1068 01:05:30,930 --> 01:05:33,480 and on. And you're telling us that the phone cell data is not 1069 01:05:33,510 --> 01:05:36,780 correct. Okay. The guys with the straight faces? Yeah, it's 1070 01:05:36,780 --> 01:05:37,890 wrong. Okay. 1071 01:05:38,010 --> 01:05:39,750 Adam Curry: All right. So I'm not gonna go down that road. 1072 01:05:40,410 --> 01:05:44,040 Because there are actual things that matter such as the SCOTUS 1073 01:05:44,070 --> 01:05:45,390 opinions, the US 1074 01:05:45,390 --> 01:05:47,730 Unknown: Supreme Court's decision to decide whether 1075 01:05:47,730 --> 01:05:51,570 Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution. In his 1076 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,740 election subversion case, won't just set a huge historical 1077 01:05:55,740 --> 01:06:00,030 precedent. It is hugely crucial because of its time surely, a 1078 01:06:00,030 --> 01:06:03,720 lower court already ruled unanimously that Trump is not 1079 01:06:03,750 --> 01:06:07,260 immune from prosecution for allegedly trying to overturn the 1080 01:06:07,260 --> 01:06:11,640 2020 election, which culminated in the January sixth capital 1081 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:15,390 attack and outlined by the special prosecutor last year. 1082 01:06:17,220 --> 01:06:20,640 It was fueled by lies lies lies lies by 1083 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,420 the defendant, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function 1084 01:06:24,420 --> 01:06:25,410 of the US government. 1085 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,160 Trump argued that being present at the time granted him 1086 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:33,210 immunity, but the lower court disagreed. The Supreme Court 1087 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,990 could have chosen not to take this case and let that lower 1088 01:06:36,990 --> 01:06:41,280 court ruling stand, but instead it wants to have the final say 1089 01:06:41,550 --> 01:06:44,640 the Supreme Court will start hearing this case in late April, 1090 01:06:44,850 --> 01:06:48,750 and most court watchers think Trump will lose the case that 1091 01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:51,900 the court will agree with the lower court that Trump is not 1092 01:06:51,930 --> 01:06:55,350 immune from prosecution. But with the final decision not 1093 01:06:55,350 --> 01:06:59,430 expected until June. That means the possible trial for Trump 1094 01:06:59,550 --> 01:07:04,230 might not finish much less even start until after the November 1095 01:07:04,260 --> 01:07:04,890 election. 1096 01:07:05,250 --> 01:07:07,530 Adam Curry: Well, we have an opinion from our constitutional 1097 01:07:07,530 --> 01:07:12,150 lawyer Rob, which differs a little bit. And by the way, Rob 1098 01:07:12,150 --> 01:07:16,920 is also a ham radio operator, so he's very trustworthy. We can 1099 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,540 trust him. He says, 1100 01:07:19,350 --> 01:07:22,050 John C Dvorak: Yes, that's exactly correct. It's 1101 01:07:22,050 --> 01:07:25,200 Adam Curry: like Eagle Scouts, ham radio guys trustworthy. 1102 01:07:25,500 --> 01:07:27,690 John C Dvorak: Yep. Eagle Scouts, ham radio guys. Same 1103 01:07:27,690 --> 01:07:27,990 thing. 1104 01:07:28,020 --> 01:07:31,620 Adam Curry: SCOTUS also entered an accelerated briefing and oral 1105 01:07:31,650 --> 01:07:34,650 argument scheduled Trump's opening brief is due in three 1106 01:07:34,650 --> 01:07:38,100 weeks. That's March 19. Jack Smith answering brief is due on 1107 01:07:38,130 --> 01:07:42,120 April 8, and Trump's reply brief is due April 15th. Oral 1108 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:46,020 arguments will happen the week of April 22. So here's his 1109 01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:49,560 comment. One might be tempted to say this is good for Trump since 1110 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,520 he gets a shortcut to SCOTUS on a major issue plus one sodas 1111 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,910 grant SCOTUS grant cert. It's typically because it's 1112 01:07:56,910 --> 01:08:00,330 contemplating reversing the low the judgment of the lower court. 1113 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,780 But Rob says he's not so sure this is the case here. As a 1114 01:08:03,780 --> 01:08:06,570 criminal defendant Trump probably wants to slow roll 1115 01:08:06,570 --> 01:08:10,140 things of course until the elections over. This is probably 1116 01:08:10,140 --> 01:08:14,520 why exercise the option of seeking on bonk review at the DC 1117 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,480 Circuit. Before petitioning SCOTUS today's development skips 1118 01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:22,710 that step and moves things along much faster, probably not what 1119 01:08:22,710 --> 01:08:26,790 Trump wants. Add to this the accelerated case schedule, not 1120 01:08:26,790 --> 01:08:30,390 only does this move things along faster still, but it may also 1121 01:08:30,390 --> 01:08:34,380 signal that SCOTUS wants to nip the issue in the bud. That 1122 01:08:34,380 --> 01:08:38,820 prospect should troubled Trump's team. So of course, he says it's 1123 01:08:38,820 --> 01:08:43,140 all tea leaf reading on his part, but this is a, I think a 1124 01:08:43,170 --> 01:08:47,220 good analysis from from our ham radio broadcasting, 1125 01:08:47,250 --> 01:08:49,230 constitutional Eagle Scout lawyer. 1126 01:08:50,340 --> 01:08:53,460 John C Dvorak: Well, a couple of things that have to be noted. If 1127 01:08:53,460 --> 01:08:57,150 this goes through that the President has no immunity 1128 01:08:57,150 --> 01:08:59,670 whatsoever and everything he's responsible for everything he 1129 01:08:59,670 --> 01:09:05,670 does, this goes right back to the war crimes crimes of Bush 1130 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:10,470 and the war crimes of Obama as specifically the killing of two 1131 01:09:10,470 --> 01:09:17,010 American citizens by Fiat when Obi had that Muslim extremists 1132 01:09:17,010 --> 01:09:21,930 who's an American and his son who was sitting in a cafe killed 1133 01:09:21,930 --> 01:09:26,910 by drone strikes, yes, yes. lockup I was just put this out 1134 01:09:26,910 --> 01:09:31,830 and out murder Nakamoto. But, you know, if you started doing 1135 01:09:31,830 --> 01:09:33,960 that, then we're gonna get into situation like every other 1136 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,390 country in South America where this was the guy gets out of 1137 01:09:36,390 --> 01:09:37,620 office, he gets locked up, 1138 01:09:37,650 --> 01:09:39,630 Adam Curry: it would make sense. I mean, this isn't gonna be a 1139 01:09:39,630 --> 01:09:42,000 good thing. It would help the podcast it would make the 1140 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:42,750 podcast very 1141 01:09:42,750 --> 01:09:44,760 John C Dvorak: it wouldn't be it would help the podcast I got to 1142 01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,230 Trump clips. By the way. 1143 01:09:46,739 --> 01:09:49,499 Adam Curry: I just want I hope they are protecting our Supreme 1144 01:09:49,499 --> 01:09:53,219 Court justices, all of them. I'm a little worried about 1145 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:56,580 Unknown: about some of them. 1146 01:09:57,930 --> 01:09:59,580 Adam Curry: You know, they've read they're really hate 1147 01:09:59,580 --> 01:10:03,480 clients. Thomas so much. Now I remember when they were camping 1148 01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:07,200 outside of Justice's houses and they wouldn't Yeah, and they 1149 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:07,590 weren't doing 1150 01:10:07,590 --> 01:10:10,770 John C Dvorak: anything about, you know, I'm Yeah, Nancy Pelosi 1151 01:10:10,770 --> 01:10:13,320 was encouraging it. Yeah. Yeah. 1152 01:10:13,380 --> 01:10:14,550 Adam Curry: So I'm just here's the, 1153 01:10:14,790 --> 01:10:17,190 John C Dvorak: here's an anti D clip on Trump immunity. 1154 01:10:17,220 --> 01:10:20,250 Adam Curry: Okay, hold on a second. Where are you Trump 1155 01:10:20,250 --> 01:10:21,630 immunity? Yes. Okay. 1156 01:10:22,470 --> 01:10:26,820 Unknown: This is in the DEA. The Supreme Court has agreed to take 1157 01:10:26,820 --> 01:10:29,820 up former President Trump's immunity claim that justices 1158 01:10:29,820 --> 01:10:33,600 will decide whether Trump is shielded from prosecution and 1159 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,350 Special Counsel Jack Smith federal election case. The case 1160 01:10:37,350 --> 01:10:41,490 is currently on pause as Trump pursues his appealed. The former 1161 01:10:41,490 --> 01:10:44,160 president argues that he's entitled to presidential 1162 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,090 immunity for official acts that occurred while he was in office. 1163 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,270 A federal appeals court previously ruled that Trump does 1164 01:10:51,270 --> 01:10:55,620 not enjoy immunity. The High Court will hear oral arguments 1165 01:10:55,620 --> 01:10:58,950 in late April, this will likely further delay the trial for the 1166 01:10:58,950 --> 01:11:00,780 Federal Election case. Yeah, 1167 01:11:00,780 --> 01:11:04,650 Adam Curry: this contradicts contradicts what our our lawyer 1168 01:11:04,650 --> 01:11:06,120 here says, then yeah, 1169 01:11:06,150 --> 01:11:08,850 John C Dvorak: everybody thinks is gonna delay things. Now, the 1170 01:11:08,850 --> 01:11:11,550 other clip I have is about Trump and getting money. 1171 01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:16,140 Adam Curry: Yes, I am. We also have an opinion on this from our 1172 01:11:16,170 --> 01:11:16,530 lawyer 1173 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,260 Unknown: and your appellate judge today rejecting former 1174 01:11:19,260 --> 01:11:23,640 President Trump's request to pause the $454 million civil 1175 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:27,210 fraud penalty, but Associate Justice and I'll sing it did 1176 01:11:27,210 --> 01:11:30,690 grant Trump's request to stay other portions of the judgment 1177 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,840 stayed the portion of the decision barring Trump from 1178 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,960 running any New York corporation or applying for loans from the 1179 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:40,470 state's banks for three years. His decision must still be 1180 01:11:40,470 --> 01:11:43,860 affirmed by a full panel of the mid level state appeals court. 1181 01:11:44,250 --> 01:11:48,330 Trump's attorneys had offered a post a $100 million bond. 1182 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,930 Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the fraud case said 1183 01:11:51,930 --> 01:11:55,170 in a response that Trump's request shows he has 1184 01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,310 insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment. But Trump 1185 01:11:59,340 --> 01:12:03,330 may find the funds elsewhere, a potential merger involving true 1186 01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:07,800 social could give him access to billions of dollars. So 1187 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:12,960 Adam Curry: here's So indeed, the appellate judge did overturn 1188 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,560 two important parts of the points of the three main points 1189 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:20,490 one, the original judgment barred his son's and others from 1190 01:12:20,490 --> 01:12:23,100 running the business and the lawyer said, Hey, you can't just 1191 01:12:23,100 --> 01:12:26,220 pull established management out of a large global operation, 1192 01:12:26,340 --> 01:12:29,910 have strangers run it, that would be disastrous, and the 1193 01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:36,030 appellate judge Singh agreed. The original judgment barred 1194 01:12:36,030 --> 01:12:38,670 Trump's businesses from getting loans in New York Trump's 1195 01:12:38,670 --> 01:12:40,920 lawyers pointed out this would prevent Trump from ever 1196 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,340 obtaining the funds needed for an appeal bond. And the 1197 01:12:44,340 --> 01:12:49,290 appellate judge also agreed to this however, the judgment that 1198 01:12:49,290 --> 01:12:52,350 forced Trump to post an appeal bond of nearly half a billion 1199 01:12:52,350 --> 01:12:57,390 dollars, the foreigner had 60 Give or take. And his lawyers 1200 01:12:57,390 --> 01:13:01,560 offered to put up 100 million and the appellate judge said no. 1201 01:13:02,010 --> 01:13:07,710 So Trump needs to come up with the entire bond amount by 1202 01:13:08,580 --> 01:13:11,310 there's a date here, which no one ever mentions, I really 1203 01:13:11,310 --> 01:13:16,980 appreciate what our lawyer does here. By March 24, he needs to 1204 01:13:16,980 --> 01:13:22,890 post the bond on or before that date. And we were talking about 1205 01:13:22,890 --> 01:13:25,890 the 10%. You know, yes, you might be able to find a bail 1206 01:13:25,890 --> 01:13:31,140 bondsman that will will spot him for her, you know, for $400 1207 01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:35,850 million. Let him put up 40 Doubtful though. So he's gonna 1208 01:13:35,850 --> 01:13:38,220 have to figure that out somewhere. It's a lot, a lot of 1209 01:13:38,220 --> 01:13:42,360 cash. A lot of cash. And otherwise, yeah, I think I think 1210 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,510 they'll go after his buildings and really try to destroy him. 1211 01:13:46,170 --> 01:13:48,300 John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't Yeah, ideas one way. I mean, 1212 01:13:48,300 --> 01:13:51,450 Biden, if you remember about a year ago or two years ago, he 1213 01:13:51,450 --> 01:13:54,510 said that that's what they're gonna do to keep Trump when he 1214 01:13:54,510 --> 01:13:56,580 was asked, it's not Trump's not gonna get on the ballot. We're 1215 01:13:56,580 --> 01:13:58,680 not gonna let him Yeah, 1216 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:04,020 Adam Curry: they're really trying. Meanwhile, the the meme 1217 01:14:04,020 --> 01:14:08,460 continues that Trump has been captured, captured by the 1218 01:14:08,460 --> 01:14:09,990 Christian nationalists, 1219 01:14:10,440 --> 01:14:13,710 John C Dvorak: is whoever they are. Well, oh, oh, 1220 01:14:13,770 --> 01:14:17,220 Adam Curry: the professor at American University in Paris, 1221 01:14:17,370 --> 01:14:20,940 appeared on France 24 and explained exactly who they are, 1222 01:14:20,970 --> 01:14:21,570 despite 1223 01:14:21,570 --> 01:14:24,960 Unknown: the litany of criminal charges he's facing, he's still 1224 01:14:24,990 --> 01:14:27,720 very appealing to Republican voters. How do you 1225 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,230 John C Dvorak: explain that? Well, there are two reasons. One 1226 01:14:31,230 --> 01:14:35,820 is ideological, that has to do with a certain kind of charisma 1227 01:14:35,820 --> 01:14:39,570 that he has. But the other is, in essence, Donald Trump has 1228 01:14:39,570 --> 01:14:42,870 been captured by a social movement, a social movement with 1229 01:14:42,870 --> 01:14:47,250 an ideology as well as social movement, which is called now 1230 01:14:48,270 --> 01:14:51,540 Christian nationalism. But Christian nationalism is more 1231 01:14:51,540 --> 01:14:59,700 than a zealous universe of of closed throughs. It is also an 1232 01:14:59,700 --> 01:15:01,890 Oregon Session. It's a structured organization. Oh, 1233 01:15:01,890 --> 01:15:05,430 here we go. It has its policy organizations like the Heritage 1234 01:15:05,430 --> 01:15:08,910 Foundation. It has this legal foundation like the Federalist 1235 01:15:08,940 --> 01:15:13,590 Society. It has its databases. It has a whole network of 1236 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:17,100 angelical churches all across the United States with 1000s of 1237 01:15:17,100 --> 01:15:19,470 pastors who can who can 1238 01:15:20,850 --> 01:15:21,840 Adam Curry: radicalize 1239 01:15:21,870 --> 01:15:24,630 John C Dvorak: provide the who can give the propaganda who 1240 01:15:24,630 --> 01:15:29,700 could have Donald Trump, and who can mobilize the votes and get 1241 01:15:29,700 --> 01:15:30,750 them out to vote and 1242 01:15:31,590 --> 01:15:34,950 Adam Curry: unlike the Democrats, using black pastors 1243 01:15:34,950 --> 01:15:37,050 and reverence to do their bidding, but okay, 1244 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,150 John C Dvorak: they tried to do fundraising, Donald Trump is 1245 01:15:39,150 --> 01:15:41,610 having problems with fundraising. Nevertheless, they 1246 01:15:41,610 --> 01:15:44,820 have an important fundraising machine. They can mobilize 1247 01:15:44,820 --> 01:15:45,990 voters, they can bring them to the 1248 01:15:45,990 --> 01:15:49,170 Adam Curry: polls. You know, the problem here, this this 1249 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:55,650 professor, he has never heard of the Johnson Amendment, which is 1250 01:15:55,680 --> 01:16:00,270 in the IRS tax code. I'm very surprised this professor doesn't 1251 01:16:00,270 --> 01:16:01,980 realize President 1252 01:16:01,980 --> 01:16:04,260 John C Dvorak: jokes whenever reporters should call him out on 1253 01:16:04,260 --> 01:16:06,870 now, what kind of reporters do we have here? We all know about 1254 01:16:06,870 --> 01:16:10,290 this. I don't think many people know about the Johnson from the 1255 01:16:10,290 --> 01:16:12,960 pulpit, you cannot advise people how to vote 1256 01:16:12,990 --> 01:16:16,290 Adam Curry: no period, no, then you lose your tax exempt status. 1257 01:16:16,590 --> 01:16:17,820 Exactly. That's 1258 01:16:17,820 --> 01:16:21,300 John C Dvorak: right. And every reporter in the world should 1259 01:16:21,300 --> 01:16:22,860 know this. And they will pass 1260 01:16:22,860 --> 01:16:26,340 Adam Curry: every point or no. And every pastor, and every 1261 01:16:26,340 --> 01:16:28,170 church leader knows this. 1262 01:16:29,220 --> 01:16:33,960 John C Dvorak: Course. Yeah. They do get their IRS tax free 1263 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:37,710 status, which is a major benefit to a church, it would have 1264 01:16:37,710 --> 01:16:44,070 pulled right out from under them instantly. So this is bull crap. 1265 01:16:44,550 --> 01:16:45,000 Yeah. 1266 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:47,220 Adam Curry: Well, there was a little by 1267 01:16:47,220 --> 01:16:49,290 John C Dvorak: the way, the Heritage Foundation has got 1268 01:16:49,290 --> 01:16:54,150 nothing to do. I think it has nothing to do with Christian 1269 01:16:54,210 --> 01:16:58,530 anything. No, I mean, there are probably a lot of Christians 1270 01:16:58,530 --> 01:17:03,210 there. Sure. But they're not a Christian nationalist front. 1271 01:17:03,480 --> 01:17:07,080 Adam Curry: And NPR just just can't give up. They just can't 1272 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,890 give up on the IVF. They're really, really pushing the 1273 01:17:11,430 --> 01:17:13,830 John C Dvorak: row. By the way, when this technology first 1274 01:17:13,830 --> 01:17:18,720 appeared IVF IVF is tested, what would that refers to? And they 1275 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,300 will say it no one has said it in any of the reporting. And if 1276 01:17:21,300 --> 01:17:24,660 you've seen vitro fertilization, no, they say that but they never 1277 01:17:24,660 --> 01:17:26,790 said this is test two babies. 1278 01:17:27,420 --> 01:17:30,030 Adam Curry: Oh, which is a great Wow, how can we should bring 1279 01:17:30,030 --> 01:17:30,810 that back? 1280 01:17:31,260 --> 01:17:34,950 John C Dvorak: Test two babies, and the test two babies this 1281 01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:41,490 technology to make test two babies 1959 This is nothing new. 1282 01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:44,130 They make it sound like some new technology that the right wing 1283 01:17:44,130 --> 01:17:45,090 tried to quash. 1284 01:17:46,710 --> 01:17:50,700 Adam Curry: Here's the NPR just go on Google gaga over justice 1285 01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:51,390 Parker, 1286 01:17:51,420 --> 01:17:53,880 Unknown: the Chief Justice in Alabama. His name is Tom Parker. 1287 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,730 I mean, he's been pretty open about how his interpretation of 1288 01:17:56,730 --> 01:18:00,630 Christianity is important to his job as a judge. Right. But 1289 01:18:00,690 --> 01:18:03,450 right, I knew that in your reply. And you have found that 1290 01:18:03,450 --> 01:18:06,420 it goes way beyond that. Can you tell us how? Oh, 1291 01:18:06,420 --> 01:18:07,290 Adam Curry: well, yes, I 1292 01:18:07,290 --> 01:18:10,590 Unknown: can't wait. Sure. Yeah, you know, Christian theology is 1293 01:18:10,590 --> 01:18:13,410 very evident and justice Parker's work. You know, if you 1294 01:18:13,410 --> 01:18:16,410 read, for example, the concurring opinion on the IVF 1295 01:18:16,410 --> 01:18:20,460 ruling, it's notable to see that he quotes extensively from 1296 01:18:20,460 --> 01:18:23,700 sources like the book of Genesis, from the 10 1297 01:18:23,700 --> 01:18:27,360 commandments, and from Western Christian thinkers of centuries 1298 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:28,710 ago, like Thomas Aquinas, 1299 01:18:28,740 --> 01:18:30,480 Adam Curry: Thomas Aquinas, no. 1300 01:18:30,990 --> 01:18:33,480 Unknown: Aquinas, you know, and that's a contrast to, for 1301 01:18:33,480 --> 01:18:37,350 example, citations from case study or legal precedent that, 1302 01:18:37,350 --> 01:18:39,810 you know, one might expect when looking at the legal reasoning 1303 01:18:39,810 --> 01:18:41,160 of a top judicial officer of 1304 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,740 Adam Curry: a state. But that's not really what the problem is, 1305 01:18:43,740 --> 01:18:46,770 is it right, but you know, actually this she did a good 1306 01:18:46,770 --> 01:18:49,650 right there. Love it. Right. Right. Right, looking at 1307 01:18:49,650 --> 01:18:52,020 Unknown: the legal reasoning of a top judicial officer of a 1308 01:18:52,020 --> 01:18:55,680 state. Right. But you know, actually, this alone isn't what 1309 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,690 is drawing attention. Ah, 1310 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,720 Adam Curry: are you ready? Are you ready? How could this judge 1311 01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:04,230 have screwed up? What possible media faux pa could he have 1312 01:19:04,230 --> 01:19:08,760 made? That puts him so in the spotlight of NPR? Do 1313 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:12,420 John C Dvorak: you have any idea? You use the N word? On 1314 01:19:12,420 --> 01:19:15,540 Unknown: the very same day that the ruling came out? Parker was 1315 01:19:15,570 --> 01:19:17,130 a guest on a podcast? 1316 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:22,740 Adam Curry: Oh, no. He was on a podcast. Oh, boy. And 1317 01:19:22,740 --> 01:19:25,590 Unknown: his remarks there suggest that his theology veers 1318 01:19:25,590 --> 01:19:29,580 into what some experts consider Christian extremism. Whoa, wait, 1319 01:19:29,580 --> 01:19:29,730 what 1320 01:19:29,730 --> 01:19:31,860 do you mean by Christian extremism? 1321 01:19:34,470 --> 01:19:38,550 John C Dvorak: is so much anxiousness? What do you mean by 1322 01:19:38,550 --> 01:19:39,900 Christian extremism? 1323 01:19:41,910 --> 01:19:44,190 Adam Curry: Oh, hold on a second. This is very interesting 1324 01:19:44,190 --> 01:19:44,730 what you're saying 1325 01:19:44,730 --> 01:19:47,340 Unknown: here's into what some experts consider Christian 1326 01:19:47,370 --> 01:19:48,300 extremism. 1327 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,460 We wait What do you mean by Christian? 1328 01:19:51,990 --> 01:19:55,140 Well, here's a clip of Parker from that program. 1329 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,180 Adam Curry: Get ready for some extremism. 1330 01:19:58,110 --> 01:20:04,320 Unknown: God created good Government and the fact that we 1331 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:10,710 have let it go into the possession of others. It's 1332 01:20:10,710 --> 01:20:16,410 heartbreaking for those of us who understand, and we know it 1333 01:20:16,410 --> 01:20:22,620 is for him. And that's why he is calling and equipping people to 1334 01:20:22,620 --> 01:20:25,500 step back into these mountains right now. 1335 01:20:25,620 --> 01:20:29,100 Adam Curry: Oh, no, this guy's an extremist. 1336 01:20:31,440 --> 01:20:33,720 John C Dvorak: I didn't call it against Catholic teachings that 1337 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,110 Satan created governments but that's Is that true? Is that 1338 01:20:37,350 --> 01:20:41,130 debatable? Is that? Is that Catholic doctrine? I just made 1339 01:20:41,130 --> 01:20:44,460 it up. Well, it makes sense to me 1340 01:20:48,030 --> 01:20:50,280 Adam Curry: Well, I thought that our Declaration of Independence 1341 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:54,030 is these are your inalienable rights given to us by God. 1342 01:20:54,570 --> 01:20:57,000 John C Dvorak: Yeah, the rights are but the government wasn't. 1343 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,840 That's why they had to write all these these rights to be written 1344 01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:04,080 out because the government's bad. Exactly. 1345 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,400 Adam Curry: Oh, my goodness. I love NPR. Send your money. Get a 1346 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:13,470 tote bag, everybody. That's why this we should be doing. Oh man. 1347 01:21:13,470 --> 01:21:16,050 Oh, man. Oh, man. These people just crazy. 1348 01:21:18,030 --> 01:21:20,640 John C Dvorak: Let's see, uh, you know, just want to change 1349 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,480 gears real quick. And yeah, for just a short second. About the 1350 01:21:24,480 --> 01:21:25,680 Texas fire. 1351 01:21:25,740 --> 01:21:27,510 Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, definitely. 1352 01:21:27,540 --> 01:21:30,750 Unknown: The raging wildfire is rampaging across the Texas 1353 01:21:30,750 --> 01:21:34,680 panhandle, threatening homes, farms and businesses and forcing 1354 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:38,850 residents to evacuate. The fire has also prompted the closure of 1355 01:21:38,850 --> 01:21:42,750 a plant that dismantles nuclear weapons entities. Cristina 1356 01:21:42,750 --> 01:21:45,120 Corona gives us an update on the Blace. 1357 01:21:45,150 --> 01:21:49,410 The wildfires began at approximately 2:20pm Monday 1358 01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:53,880 throughout northern Texas and scorched through 250,000 acres 1359 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,960 in just 28 hours. It's becoming the second largest in the 1360 01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:59,010 state's history. 1361 01:21:59,340 --> 01:22:01,470 At this time. We have fire crews from all over the state 1362 01:22:01,470 --> 01:22:04,050 mobilizing for performance suppression and search and 1363 01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:07,140 recovery efforts. The process will likely takes several days 1364 01:22:07,140 --> 01:22:08,910 to complete stroke 1365 01:22:08,910 --> 01:22:12,330 said the information is limited due to some areas still being 1366 01:22:12,330 --> 01:22:16,530 affected by fire and some are not able to be accessed safely. 1367 01:22:16,650 --> 01:22:17,310 We have 1368 01:22:17,310 --> 01:22:22,320 had fire crews out for the last 48 hours plus I believe so many 1369 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,140 of them don't sleep they're doing here in 1370 01:22:26,370 --> 01:22:30,060 Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster for 1371 01:22:30,060 --> 01:22:34,050 60 counties mobilizing state resources to support local 1372 01:22:34,050 --> 01:22:37,590 firefighters. The largest current Blaze is the smokehouse 1373 01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:42,000 Creek fire that has scorched more than 500,000 acres of land 1374 01:22:42,030 --> 01:22:45,840 the blaze spread from Texas into neighboring Roger Mills County 1375 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,170 in western Oklahoma where officials encouraged people in 1376 01:22:49,170 --> 01:22:53,250 the area to fleet one Texas resident who had to evacuate 1377 01:22:53,250 --> 01:22:58,740 from one town to another multiple times said it went from 1378 01:22:58,950 --> 01:23:00,360 smoke billowing in 1379 01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,450 that was white to the sunshine coming through that looked like 1380 01:23:03,450 --> 01:23:07,470 we were engulfed in flames all around it looked like our town 1381 01:23:07,470 --> 01:23:09,660 was just being engulfed a 1382 01:23:09,660 --> 01:23:11,820 Adam Curry: little drop out there your back right 1383 01:23:12,300 --> 01:23:12,630 John C Dvorak: yeah 1384 01:23:14,460 --> 01:23:15,870 Adam Curry: let me talk about THIS IS MY slow 1385 01:23:15,870 --> 01:23:17,760 John C Dvorak: before you do I do want to play the second half 1386 01:23:17,790 --> 01:23:22,230 which is the good part about the A bombs because this was unknown 1387 01:23:22,230 --> 01:23:25,410 to me that up there in Texas in the Panhandle is we're holy a 1388 01:23:25,410 --> 01:23:27,780 bombs are made I had Did you know this? 1389 01:23:27,810 --> 01:23:30,840 Adam Curry: Yes. I didn't. You did? I did. Well, I don't know 1390 01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:35,130 about a bombs. You make you make it sound very Oppenheimer ish. 1391 01:23:35,370 --> 01:23:36,690 John C Dvorak: But yeah, so yeah, well open. 1392 01:23:37,860 --> 01:23:40,230 Adam Curry: Nuclear nuclear facility. Yes, 1393 01:23:40,260 --> 01:23:43,620 John C Dvorak: panto Can we play this? Yeah, here it is a Pantex 1394 01:23:43,620 --> 01:23:47,310 Unknown: plant near Amarillo evacuated non essential stuff 1395 01:23:47,310 --> 01:23:51,090 Tuesday night. The plan is the main us site for atomic bomb 1396 01:23:51,090 --> 01:23:55,140 assembly and disassembly, which completed its last new bomb in 1397 01:23:55,140 --> 01:24:00,000 1991 and has dismantled 1000s Since authorities have not said 1398 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,480 what ignited the fires or how many homes have been destroyed, 1399 01:24:03,480 --> 01:24:07,500 but strong winds dry grass and in seasonably warm temperatures 1400 01:24:07,500 --> 01:24:08,670 fed the blazes. 1401 01:24:08,790 --> 01:24:11,970 Adam Curry: Okay. So first of all, I know a lot about this. 1402 01:24:12,180 --> 01:24:16,230 Texas limb is from there. He's up there now. He almost had to 1403 01:24:16,230 --> 01:24:21,660 evacuate his mom. It's it's not the worst fire they've ever had 1404 01:24:21,660 --> 01:24:27,030 is one of the worst for sure. The really just a lot of cattle 1405 01:24:27,030 --> 01:24:31,080 up there. So the really tough part is, well, people were able 1406 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:35,490 to, you know, save a lot of cattle, but you got 600 cows and 1407 01:24:35,490 --> 01:24:38,220 no grass for them to eat. So people are desperately trying to 1408 01:24:38,220 --> 01:24:41,910 find places anywhere further south where they can let their 1409 01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:48,810 cows eat. So that's a real problem. Now, immediately, this 1410 01:24:48,810 --> 01:24:52,260 is always interesting. Two narratives pop up. One is HAARP. 1411 01:24:52,260 --> 01:24:55,320 Of course the government. Yeah, they're burning it down, you 1412 01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,690 know Abbott's doing this about the border. 1413 01:24:58,710 --> 01:25:01,740 John C Dvorak: These are HAARP Nowhere near the border no 1414 01:25:01,740 --> 01:25:03,750 Adam Curry: I know but it's you know, it's to distract from the 1415 01:25:03,750 --> 01:25:08,940 border or whatever. The second one is climate change. Of course 1416 01:25:08,940 --> 01:25:12,420 it's climate change is what happens with climate change. And 1417 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:17,550 I do have a clip here of a typical Panhandle Texan. I tried 1418 01:25:17,550 --> 01:25:19,650 to filter it a little bit so you can hear what he says. If not, I 1419 01:25:19,650 --> 01:25:22,980 will. I will reiterate it in this report. Listen 1420 01:25:22,980 --> 01:25:26,250 Unknown: to this heading into the infernos. This was the scene 1421 01:25:26,250 --> 01:25:29,550 that greeted firefighters in Greenville as they responded to 1422 01:25:29,550 --> 01:25:34,050 the second biggest wildfire in Texas is history. An emergency 1423 01:25:34,050 --> 01:25:37,980 has been declared in 60 counties across the most northern part of 1424 01:25:37,980 --> 01:25:42,150 the state to towns have been evacuated, and many homes and 1425 01:25:42,150 --> 01:25:46,350 businesses destroyed. Texas has seen record high temperatures in 1426 01:25:46,350 --> 01:25:50,310 the past few days. And parts of the Panhandle are described as 1427 01:25:50,310 --> 01:25:54,930 abnormally dry. That combined with strong winds have resulted 1428 01:25:54,930 --> 01:25:58,230 in the ferocity of the blazes earlier the fastest spread 1429 01:25:58,230 --> 01:26:01,920 across the Texas border into the neighboring state of Oklahoma, 1430 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:05,280 where there have also been evacuations were in 1431 01:26:06,660 --> 01:26:07,830 zone and Fars. 1432 01:26:12,990 --> 01:26:18,060 Adam Curry: Call it climate change. So I know it's hard to 1433 01:26:18,060 --> 01:26:21,300 hear. But this is a Texan. He says that they're saying it's 1434 01:26:21,300 --> 01:26:24,840 climate change. But I won't because I'm not woke what 1435 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,220 happens every year. 1436 01:26:26,790 --> 01:26:29,730 Unknown: Every year, the biggest concern has been for the Pantex 1437 01:26:29,730 --> 01:26:33,600 plant, a nuclear weapons facility, which had to close 1438 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:38,490 temporarily. However, it has now reopened for normal operations 1439 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:43,050 and respite for all affected areas is on the way. Thursday's 1440 01:26:43,050 --> 01:26:45,930 forecast is for rain and even snow. 1441 01:26:47,220 --> 01:26:51,900 Adam Curry: No. Yeah, it went from we had 80 Almost 90 degrees 1442 01:26:51,900 --> 01:26:54,990 here two days ago. And this morning, it was 36. 1443 01:26:55,620 --> 01:26:58,260 John C Dvorak: You had to do but before you had that hot weather 1444 01:26:58,260 --> 01:26:59,280 it was 29. I 1445 01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:03,210 Adam Curry: know I have no it was it was that hard. It's hard 1446 01:27:03,210 --> 01:27:07,200 for climate change or something. It happens these this happens. 1447 01:27:07,380 --> 01:27:10,470 The ever since I've been in Texas in Austin, and we get bad 1448 01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:14,430 fires when it's dry. And then all of a sudden you get a little 1449 01:27:14,430 --> 01:27:17,250 bit of hot weather. You just need one and you have winds the 1450 01:27:17,250 --> 01:27:17,790 winds are real. 1451 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,960 John C Dvorak: Let's nobody wants to talk about this. You 1452 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:27,660 have people setting these fires for sure. Fire bugs out there. 1453 01:27:27,660 --> 01:27:30,990 And you also had creeps and terrorists, nut jobs and 1454 01:27:30,990 --> 01:27:35,670 disgruntled people on SSRIs. And who knows what else? Yes, 1455 01:27:35,670 --> 01:27:38,280 Adam Curry: yes. All right, I want to talk about the border a 1456 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:43,260 little bit. I have a well, first, let's talk about the 1457 01:27:43,260 --> 01:27:45,720 reason for the border. Yes, 1458 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:47,550 John C Dvorak: the reason for the borders, keep the country 1459 01:27:47,550 --> 01:27:50,730 separate. One country is on one side of the border and one's on 1460 01:27:50,730 --> 01:27:51,840 the desk. And 1461 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,060 Adam Curry: the reason that we have people coming through the 1462 01:27:54,060 --> 01:27:56,880 border just Oh, stepping over the line and popping in is 1463 01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:01,350 because the financial elites in the United States know that we 1464 01:28:01,350 --> 01:28:06,060 need to grow in population. This is not the trend globally, the 1465 01:28:06,060 --> 01:28:10,530 trend is not growth. China is not growing. The EU is not 1466 01:28:10,530 --> 01:28:15,660 growing. The bankers have said to me verbatim we win as long as 1467 01:28:15,660 --> 01:28:18,990 we keep adding to our population. So keep the borders 1468 01:28:18,990 --> 01:28:22,230 wide open. That is that is the sole reason in my mind that 1469 01:28:22,230 --> 01:28:26,730 these things are open. And if you listen to what's happening 1470 01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:32,670 in New York, whereas we're here it is it what we 1471 01:28:32,670 --> 01:28:35,670 John C Dvorak: just say since you brought to the bankers and 1472 01:28:35,670 --> 01:28:40,440 by the way, we should note that the Democrat Party has become a 1473 01:28:40,440 --> 01:28:44,580 banker's party. Oh, yeah. Since Hillary Clinton, yes. And so 1474 01:28:44,580 --> 01:28:48,300 they do the bidding of the bank banks of the bankers and this is 1475 01:28:48,300 --> 01:28:50,700 the end this the Democrat Party doing it and they're the ones 1476 01:28:50,970 --> 01:28:53,040 responsible for this current overflow. 1477 01:28:53,100 --> 01:28:56,070 Adam Curry: The former New York banker who was a Democrat, told 1478 01:28:56,070 --> 01:28:59,580 me in no uncertain terms multiple times we win because 1479 01:28:59,580 --> 01:29:03,240 our population grows. How does it grow? Well, not to our 1480 01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:05,970 children because we're putting them on hormone blockers or 1481 01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,030 we're scaring them with climate change. It's growing because 1482 01:29:09,030 --> 01:29:12,150 we're letting good people across the border. And when New York 1483 01:29:12,150 --> 01:29:14,400 gets full, we just give them jobs. Sandra 1484 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,160 Unknown: again, Mayor Adams is taking a look at the city's 1485 01:29:17,190 --> 01:29:21,450 sanctuary laws to address the migrant crisis. This time. He's 1486 01:29:21,450 --> 01:29:24,720 focused on crime and public safety and the city's ability to 1487 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,230 collaborate with ice to address those issues. But speaking with 1488 01:29:28,230 --> 01:29:31,320 the City Council Speaker earlier today, she says it's a 1489 01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:34,830 nonstarter that jobs is the answer, not jail. 1490 01:29:35,730 --> 01:29:39,690 We are not considering laws, changes to laws. These laws have 1491 01:29:39,690 --> 01:29:40,950 been in effect for decades. 1492 01:29:40,980 --> 01:29:43,860 New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams Wednesday 1493 01:29:43,860 --> 01:29:47,250 standing behind the city's sanctuary laws saying they were 1494 01:29:47,250 --> 01:29:50,640 enacted for a reason to protect innocent immigrants who 1495 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,250 historically have felt threatened because of their 1496 01:29:53,250 --> 01:29:54,360 status. Okay, 1497 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,210 Adam Curry: so jobs just jobs. Hoko says jobs we're gonna get 1498 01:29:57,210 --> 01:29:59,820 them jobs. We're gonna get them jobs. They need jobs. They're 1499 01:29:59,820 --> 01:30:02,880 here Your sanctuary city will get them jobs. That's all just 1500 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:08,280 gonna get them jobs. Europe has the same issue. The European 1501 01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:12,480 Union is in decline. The people are getting older, there's no 1502 01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:14,700 one to take care of the, you know, there's no younger 1503 01:30:14,700 --> 01:30:20,250 generation coming up. And by the way, they're all God about 1504 01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,730 abortion over there. The French just enshrined in their 1505 01:30:23,730 --> 01:30:26,580 constitution, the right to abortion. Here's the 1506 01:30:26,580 --> 01:30:30,300 international plan, parent, parenthood, foundation lady and 1507 01:30:30,300 --> 01:30:31,740 on France 24. Yes, 1508 01:30:31,770 --> 01:30:34,410 Unknown: the International Planned Parenthood is a global 1509 01:30:34,410 --> 01:30:37,140 service provider and an advocate for sexual rights 1510 01:30:38,070 --> 01:30:44,340 Adam Curry: services provider. I provide a service software as a 1511 01:30:44,340 --> 01:30:45,210 service we 1512 01:30:45,210 --> 01:30:49,440 Unknown: have we work in more than 145 countries. And here in 1513 01:30:49,440 --> 01:30:51,570 France, we have a member Association, they use color 1514 01:30:51,570 --> 01:30:52,500 printing feminine. 1515 01:30:52,830 --> 01:30:56,520 Now your reaction to that vote at the Senate. I mean, there 1516 01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:00,180 were people who thought perhaps the bill might get blocked by 1517 01:31:00,210 --> 01:31:03,540 the Senate, but not a bit of it. It went through by an 1518 01:31:03,540 --> 01:31:06,210 overwhelming majority. How do you respond to that? Yeah, 1519 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,310 to be honest, at the beginning, we were scared because there 1520 01:31:08,310 --> 01:31:11,190 were a lot of pushback. But as you can see, by my smell, we 1521 01:31:11,190 --> 01:31:13,680 Adam Curry: will not listen, listen, listen to what she said. 1522 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:15,210 Just stepping into that. Yeah, 1523 01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:17,010 Unknown: to be honest, at the beginning, we were scared 1524 01:31:17,010 --> 01:31:19,410 because there were a lot of pushback. But as you can see, by 1525 01:31:19,410 --> 01:31:24,720 my smile, we are delighted and what happened tonight is history 1526 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,180 being made and they love 1527 01:31:27,180 --> 01:31:30,090 Adam Curry: it. We love it. Abortion is great, we're happy. 1528 01:31:30,540 --> 01:31:35,790 So their their their population is going down. Now let's look at 1529 01:31:35,790 --> 01:31:37,710 some other countries, Japan, 1530 01:31:37,740 --> 01:31:40,230 Unknown: there are no enough babies being born in Japan. For 1531 01:31:40,230 --> 01:31:43,440 the eighth year running births are at a record low and by the 1532 01:31:43,440 --> 01:31:49,410 largest margin ever 2023. So the number of births 5.1% to just 1533 01:31:49,410 --> 01:31:52,140 over three quarters of a million. The number of people 1534 01:31:52,140 --> 01:31:57,150 tying the knot was also down on the 490,000 got hitched. That's 1535 01:31:57,150 --> 01:32:01,470 a drop of 5.9%. This is the first time in 90 years marriages 1536 01:32:01,470 --> 01:32:04,560 fell below half a million and suggests the population may 1537 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:08,340 continue to drop. As births out of wedlock are rare. In Japan, 1538 01:32:08,550 --> 01:32:11,220 the number of deaths is also contributing to the population 1539 01:32:11,220 --> 01:32:15,720 crisis. The number last year was a record 1.6 million. So 1540 01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,400 challenging co uk decline 1541 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,940 of births is in the state of crisis within the next six years 1542 01:32:20,940 --> 01:32:24,120 up until the 2030s. When the population of the young 1543 01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:27,300 generation is expected to decline rapidly. It's a last 1544 01:32:27,300 --> 01:32:30,090 chance to see if the declining birth rate trend can be 1545 01:32:30,090 --> 01:32:33,840 reversed. And I believe we are at a time when we have to take 1546 01:32:33,900 --> 01:32:35,100 urgent measures. 1547 01:32:35,250 --> 01:32:38,700 Those measures include expanding child benefits and childcare 1548 01:32:38,700 --> 01:32:42,420 leave allowances, and to promote wage hikes for younger workers 1549 01:32:42,420 --> 01:32:43,980 to enable them to get married. 1550 01:32:44,220 --> 01:32:47,940 Adam Curry: So Japan is on the verge of extinction. And Justin 1551 01:32:47,940 --> 01:32:50,550 and they're only now saying oh, maybe we should do something 1552 01:32:50,550 --> 01:32:53,460 about it. We should just stimulate that. By the way. 1553 01:32:53,850 --> 01:33:01,230 Japan, completely Vaxxed nation, completely masked nation. The 1554 01:33:01,230 --> 01:33:06,000 elders are very important in the child rearing process. They take 1555 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:10,050 care of the children during the day they live younger, younger 1556 01:33:10,050 --> 01:33:13,080 couples live with their with their parents, the grandparents 1557 01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:16,680 take care of the kids, they're dying. I have no idea why but 1558 01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:20,070 the old people are dying much quicker than they used to. And 1559 01:33:20,070 --> 01:33:24,450 by the way, those incentives don't always work. Let's check 1560 01:33:24,450 --> 01:33:25,590 in with South Korea, 1561 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,350 Unknown: who was already the country with the world's lowest 1562 01:33:28,350 --> 01:33:31,830 birth rate, that South Korea's fertility rate has plunged to a 1563 01:33:31,830 --> 01:33:35,850 record low according to the country's official data, further 1564 01:33:35,850 --> 01:33:37,920 deepening its demographic crisis. 1565 01:33:39,210 --> 01:33:44,580 There were 230,000 births in 2023, a decrease of 7.7% from 1566 01:33:44,580 --> 01:33:47,460 the year before that the total fertility rates recorded during 1567 01:33:47,460 --> 01:33:51,390 a woman's reproductive life was zero point 72 down from zero 1568 01:33:51,390 --> 01:33:53,010 point 78 The previous year. 1569 01:33:54,810 --> 01:34:00,060 fertility rate of 0.72 is far below the 2.1 per woman needed 1570 01:34:00,060 --> 01:34:03,180 for South Korea to maintain a steady population, with the 1571 01:34:03,180 --> 01:34:07,170 country's 51 million population size on track to have by the end 1572 01:34:07,170 --> 01:34:10,350 of this century, puts pressure on health services due to an 1573 01:34:10,350 --> 01:34:14,310 aging population. New data defies the billions of dollars 1574 01:34:14,310 --> 01:34:17,520 in government schemes since 2006. To try and reverse the 1575 01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:20,730 longtime trend and persuade people to have more children 1576 01:34:21,210 --> 01:34:24,270 that South Koreans in their 20s and 30s point to soaring 1577 01:34:24,270 --> 01:34:28,230 property prices skyrocketing child rearing costs and career 1578 01:34:28,230 --> 01:34:31,110 advancement worries as factors that delay or halt they're 1579 01:34:31,110 --> 01:34:32,010 family planning 1580 01:34:33,150 --> 01:34:36,540 Adam Curry: 0.7 That country is going out of style there will 1581 01:34:36,540 --> 01:34:41,610 there will be no South Korea North Korea wins I guess. So 1582 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:45,360 this is the real problem and we have in the United States are 1583 01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,310 talked about the EU in the United States we have the exact 1584 01:34:47,310 --> 01:34:51,240 same problem. Exact oh it's too expensive now is not the right 1585 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:55,110 time. And fertility rates are down because we're eating soy 1586 01:34:55,110 --> 01:34:59,640 and plastic and chemicals and anything but but the hell is an 1587 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,220 John C Dvorak: ester virgin? Yeah, analog 1588 01:35:03,510 --> 01:35:05,820 Adam Curry: frogs gay. It's bad. Well, that's 1589 01:35:05,910 --> 01:35:06,330 John C Dvorak: that's 1590 01:35:07,350 --> 01:35:11,880 Adam Curry: Atrazine. So all of this is bad, bad, bad. So this 1591 01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,850 is why your borders are open unless we unless we start 1592 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,960 pumping like bunny rabbits and start making kids, it will not 1593 01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:22,890 stop because the financial elites of the world commanded so 1594 01:35:23,220 --> 01:35:27,420 and they and they own the politicians. So now let's talk 1595 01:35:27,420 --> 01:35:30,780 about what's coming across the border. The Chinese men of 1596 01:35:30,780 --> 01:35:34,140 military age is going to be an army they're going to kill us 1597 01:35:34,140 --> 01:35:39,630 from the inside is horrible. They're all spies. No, some may 1598 01:35:39,630 --> 01:35:42,990 be spies. And the guy who answered these questions was 1599 01:35:42,990 --> 01:35:45,750 John C Dvorak: little, by the way, most of the spies are 1600 01:35:45,750 --> 01:35:49,410 spying on the other on the Chinese, not us. 1601 01:35:50,670 --> 01:35:55,410 Adam Curry: miles you was the China adviser to Pompeo when 1602 01:35:55,440 --> 01:35:59,430 Pompeo was Secretary of State remember that during the Trump 1603 01:35:59,430 --> 01:36:04,740 administration? So he goes on C span. And I think he, he lays it 1604 01:36:04,740 --> 01:36:08,310 out really well, the main reasons why people from China 1605 01:36:08,610 --> 01:36:11,040 are coming into the United States, 1606 01:36:11,070 --> 01:36:14,940 Unknown: what's the cause of this huge influx? Okay, so 1607 01:36:15,210 --> 01:36:20,970 this is a, this is a crisis, storm. First of all, China's 1608 01:36:20,970 --> 01:36:25,950 economy is in big trouble. So the youth unemployment is really 1609 01:36:25,950 --> 01:36:30,690 huge. Somewhere around 21% to 45%. My estimate says, That 1610 01:36:30,690 --> 01:36:34,620 sounds like you're no agenda show. So and also, in the last 1611 01:36:34,620 --> 01:36:39,600 10 years on our CG beans rule. A lot of people feel very 1612 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:44,370 repressed. So the number of people are fleeing China has 1613 01:36:45,450 --> 01:36:50,220 increased dramatically. In 2013, when she first came to power, 1614 01:36:50,670 --> 01:36:53,370 people from China applying for political asylum in the United 1615 01:36:53,370 --> 01:36:57,810 States was about 24 25,003 years later today, that number 1616 01:36:57,810 --> 01:37:03,060 quadrupled, to about 100,000. So there is a push factor inside 1617 01:37:03,060 --> 01:37:08,490 China. There's also the the pool factor that is United States is 1618 01:37:08,490 --> 01:37:14,250 by far the most generous country accepting immigrants. So of 1619 01:37:14,250 --> 01:37:17,760 course, there's also opportunity that is our border has been 1620 01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:21,030 porous, our politicians were basically, you know, in the 1621 01:37:21,030 --> 01:37:23,820 political paralysis state didn't know what to do. So that created 1622 01:37:23,820 --> 01:37:27,660 a lot of opportunities for the Chinese who want to get out of 1623 01:37:27,660 --> 01:37:30,870 China. And also don't forget, China is also a communist 1624 01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:35,220 country is a has a massive security and intelligence 1625 01:37:35,250 --> 01:37:39,360 apparatus. So this is opportunity for them to also to 1626 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:44,130 explore this, this open border and to get the infiltration into 1627 01:37:44,130 --> 01:37:46,350 the United States. So it's really combination of 1628 01:37:46,350 --> 01:37:50,790 manufacturers and also the sort of Central American countries 1629 01:37:50,790 --> 01:37:57,540 most prominently Ecuador provide this. This sort of mechanism by 1630 01:37:57,540 --> 01:38:02,070 which that Chinese national could hop on a plane and, and 1631 01:38:02,070 --> 01:38:06,300 landed in Ecuador, with a free so from there, they make the 1632 01:38:06,300 --> 01:38:08,520 long journey to the southern border of the United States. 1633 01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:11,490 That's why there's such a surge in Chinese illegal border 1634 01:38:11,490 --> 01:38:11,880 crossings. 1635 01:38:12,030 --> 01:38:17,250 Adam Curry: So before I go to the next clip, two bits of news 1636 01:38:17,250 --> 01:38:21,030 from IO m dot i n t, the international office of 1637 01:38:21,030 --> 01:38:29,070 migration run by a former State Department. Creep, creep, IOM 1638 01:38:29,070 --> 01:38:34,440 and UNHCR welcome Ecuador's moved to regular lies, refugees 1639 01:38:34,440 --> 01:38:37,830 and migrants, strengthening national what 1640 01:38:38,370 --> 01:38:40,140 John C Dvorak: I was just gonna say we have to remember that 1641 01:38:40,140 --> 01:38:43,440 Ecuador has been captured. It was captured some time ago, when 1642 01:38:43,440 --> 01:38:47,310 they booted out the president duly elected and pushed them the 1643 01:38:47,340 --> 01:38:51,450 American sympathetic guy who also kept Assange from ever 1644 01:38:51,450 --> 01:38:55,260 going to Ecuador, where he wanted to escape to, and they're 1645 01:38:55,260 --> 01:38:57,930 just basically are puppets. And so whatever they're doing is 1646 01:38:57,930 --> 01:39:00,180 because of what we told them to do. 1647 01:39:00,270 --> 01:39:02,160 Adam Curry: And that is the international office of 1648 01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:05,790 migration from the United Nations. They are pushing 1649 01:39:05,820 --> 01:39:12,960 regular, regular, regular arised regular because it's not legal 1650 01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:17,580 or illegal. It's regular. It's regular, regular, so they, so 1651 01:39:17,580 --> 01:39:21,990 they are promoting this, it is our money. They are US money 1652 01:39:21,990 --> 01:39:26,940 going into that organization to promote this. But let's blame it 1653 01:39:26,940 --> 01:39:28,200 on tick tock. My 1654 01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,450 Unknown: understanding is there's like tick tock videos 1655 01:39:30,450 --> 01:39:34,500 out there about here's how you get to the US. Here's where you 1656 01:39:34,530 --> 01:39:39,900 can cross in there's a hole in this fence or this this barrier, 1657 01:39:39,900 --> 01:39:40,530 whatever. 1658 01:39:41,340 --> 01:39:45,570 So there's where there's a demand. There is obviously a 1659 01:39:46,770 --> 01:39:50,310 enterprise to explore this kind of with demand. So there is a 1660 01:39:50,310 --> 01:39:55,800 lot of middlemen that are organized such a massive exodus 1661 01:39:55,800 --> 01:40:00,840 from China. And so, the largest Chinatown, for example, It was 1662 01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:02,580 Adam Curry: hard to hear, but I want to repeat what he says the 1663 01:40:02,580 --> 01:40:08,370 largest Chinatown is not New York is not San Francisco. No, 1664 01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:09,180 it's in Ecuador, 1665 01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:14,130 Unknown: a massive exodus from China. And so the largest 1666 01:40:14,130 --> 01:40:17,280 Chinatown, for example, is not in New York, in London, not in 1667 01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:22,560 Toronto is in Quito, Ecuador, where a lot of Chinese nationals 1668 01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,620 are Landrover, that are visa free. And you have this a well 1669 01:40:25,620 --> 01:40:30,060 organized organization, some of the Chinese a lot of locals, and 1670 01:40:30,060 --> 01:40:33,690 to provide this kind of facilities, and it took to make 1671 01:40:33,690 --> 01:40:37,110 the journeys, very long journey, you have to land over there. And 1672 01:40:37,110 --> 01:40:40,980 they'll get out of Ecuador and crossed countries like Colombia, 1673 01:40:41,340 --> 01:40:49,170 and then Panama, and then Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, 1674 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,950 Guatemala, and New Mexico and they go to Arizona, Texas and 1675 01:40:52,950 --> 01:40:56,190 California and happen Uber chose this is basically a well 1676 01:40:56,190 --> 01:41:00,630 organized enterprise. So the this is one of the reasons why 1677 01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:07,020 it's a skos. A massive and the the this surge is continuing. So 1678 01:41:07,020 --> 01:41:08,220 it's very worrisome. Yeah. 1679 01:41:08,220 --> 01:41:11,640 Adam Curry: What he didn't mention is the lie that oh, 1680 01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,100 they're going through the Darien Gap. They're trudging through 1681 01:41:14,100 --> 01:41:18,510 the mud. No. They're hopping flights. It's organized. There's 1682 01:41:18,510 --> 01:41:21,420 charters, there's families, they got Chinatown. There's 1683 01:41:21,420 --> 01:41:26,130 organization. It's a pathway with the final bid being an Uber 1684 01:41:26,130 --> 01:41:32,760 to the border. Right outside California. Hop in. So the final 1685 01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:34,980 clip here, he does indeed say 1686 01:41:35,220 --> 01:41:36,960 John C Dvorak: this a good good catch. By the way, 1687 01:41:36,990 --> 01:41:39,540 Adam Curry: I was amazed when I saw this guy, I've actually told 1688 01:41:39,570 --> 01:41:43,260 Toller I think I found this for me. It's C span. He's our C span 1689 01:41:43,260 --> 01:41:47,670 guy. He's he's really watching all those Colin shows. And so 1690 01:41:47,670 --> 01:41:55,230 there is a level of CCP possibility of course. Because, 1691 01:41:55,260 --> 01:42:00,480 you know, we have CCP operatives, just like their CIA 1692 01:42:00,480 --> 01:42:04,020 operatives in Russia and China on I'm sorry, we killed that 1693 01:42:04,020 --> 01:42:08,130 China they got killed in China. But that's how it works. I mean, 1694 01:42:08,130 --> 01:42:11,580 every country has spies registered unregistered is just 1695 01:42:11,580 --> 01:42:16,110 a fact of life. The the irregular, the irregular 1696 01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:21,750 migrants does have a benefit to some CCP activity. Of course, 1697 01:42:21,930 --> 01:42:22,140 you 1698 01:42:22,140 --> 01:42:25,740 Unknown: said that the Chinese government would exploit the 1699 01:42:25,740 --> 01:42:29,220 situation to infiltrate the United States. Can you explain 1700 01:42:29,220 --> 01:42:29,970 what you mean by that? 1701 01:42:30,330 --> 01:42:33,780 Well, there's many legal ways or we have lots of immigration 1702 01:42:34,470 --> 01:42:39,000 flaws. Some of our immigration policies, particularly passport 1703 01:42:39,030 --> 01:42:43,950 issuing is just amazingly mad. Now listen to this. So if you're 1704 01:42:43,950 --> 01:42:47,100 a Chinese national, you're holding the challenge of 1705 01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:51,960 passport, but you qualify for some for become to become a 1706 01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,840 citizen of the United States, either through marriage or 1707 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:59,100 through your own talent. And the you're entitled for a US 1708 01:42:59,100 --> 01:43:02,340 passport. And the US government with the issue of password 1709 01:43:02,370 --> 01:43:05,370 without asking whether you still have a Chinese passport or not. 1710 01:43:05,490 --> 01:43:08,340 So as a result, we have a lot of Chinese nationals who are 1711 01:43:08,340 --> 01:43:11,430 holding American passport, as well as a Chinese passport. So 1712 01:43:11,430 --> 01:43:13,650 that's basically one of the legal ways they could explore 1713 01:43:13,650 --> 01:43:18,210 this, this openness by the Chinese sort of malign factors, 1714 01:43:18,270 --> 01:43:22,740 intelligence and security apparatus. This one obviously, 1715 01:43:22,830 --> 01:43:26,550 is more lucrative for the Chinese because if you cross 1716 01:43:26,550 --> 01:43:30,720 border illegally, and the registration, they're tracing 1717 01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,870 mechanism, obviously illegally cross the Chinese nationals will 1718 01:43:33,870 --> 01:43:36,660 be far less effective. So it's much harder to track them. So 1719 01:43:36,660 --> 01:43:40,440 that's one reason why this is a very good opportunity for for 1720 01:43:40,440 --> 01:43:43,650 the Chinese state actors to exploit. 1721 01:43:43,770 --> 01:43:47,010 Adam Curry: Yeah, the last thing they're going to do is try and 1722 01:43:47,010 --> 01:43:53,040 kill us from the inside with the military aged men. And the 1723 01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:57,240 answer to all of this is make babies get married, start a 1724 01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:02,190 family, make babies. That's it. That's it. That's all we need to 1725 01:44:02,190 --> 01:44:05,340 do. It's the easiest thing in the world. We know how to do it. 1726 01:44:06,870 --> 01:44:07,890 Everyone knows how to do it. 1727 01:44:09,990 --> 01:44:13,050 John C Dvorak: It kind of been dissuaded by the educational 1728 01:44:13,050 --> 01:44:15,690 system of this country is just socialists who like the whole 1729 01:44:15,690 --> 01:44:17,760 country to be taken over by socialism. 1730 01:44:18,270 --> 01:44:21,960 Adam Curry: Maybe Marxism to be more specific, but yeah, yes, 1731 01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,700 John C Dvorak: I'm sorry, I shouldn't even use socialism 1732 01:44:23,700 --> 01:44:25,290 anymore. And we 1733 01:44:25,290 --> 01:44:28,170 Adam Curry: have the rainbow guard who makes sure that 1734 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:33,780 everyone's on point. That's our version of Mao's Red Guard. We 1735 01:44:33,780 --> 01:44:38,520 have the rainbow guard here. Yeah, which is I was thinking 1736 01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:43,320 about all this work stuff. Yeah. This Do you remember? I think 1737 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:47,340 that this started this really ramped up in 2015 was something 1738 01:44:47,340 --> 01:44:52,410 that we ignored for the longest time, which was GamerGate. I 1739 01:44:52,410 --> 01:44:54,840 really think that's where this started. Well, I 1740 01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:56,940 John C Dvorak: take it certain long before that. I'll 1741 01:44:56,940 --> 01:44:59,880 Adam Curry: agree I'll agree but it really I was lectured 1742 01:44:59,880 --> 01:45:02,820 John C Dvorak: at About politically correct. When I 1743 01:45:02,820 --> 01:45:05,820 first started when I first the editor at InfoWorld, in the 1744 01:45:05,850 --> 01:45:10,620 early 80s 1981, this this is a good story tell this story. And 1745 01:45:10,620 --> 01:45:15,960 I was told about the idea. Well, I had been I had mistakenly used 1746 01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:19,560 a word in an editorial. I was writing these editorials for the 1747 01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:20,610 magazine. Yes. 1748 01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:25,470 Adam Curry: What word was it? The word was deviant. 1749 01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:28,920 John C Dvorak: deviant, the word is deviant. The word was 1750 01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:37,080 deviant. And the word deviant was a trigger word in 1981. For 1751 01:45:38,010 --> 01:45:41,220 the Bucha, it was a trigger word. And it was a slur against 1752 01:45:41,220 --> 01:45:48,360 gays deviant. Yeah. Wow. And then, of all people who've been 1753 01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:51,720 she was a writer for 20 plus years, the New York Times John 1754 01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:55,230 Markoff gave me a lecture about politically correct language. 1755 01:45:55,470 --> 01:45:59,490 Wow. And and that's what the term was, was politically 1756 01:45:59,490 --> 01:46:02,700 correct. And I never heard this before. He says, Yeah, he's no 1757 01:46:02,700 --> 01:46:06,390 big deal. And he goes on and on about it. And I had made a 1758 01:46:06,390 --> 01:46:10,200 mistake by using this word. It was it had nothing to do with 1759 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:13,620 sexuality or anything else. I use it in some other context. 1760 01:46:13,950 --> 01:46:18,330 But the content doesn't matter. Because you use the word. And so 1761 01:46:18,330 --> 01:46:21,090 I got, you know, your letters came in. I mean, I got no 1762 01:46:21,090 --> 01:46:24,240 letters from writing the column for PC magazine years later, 1763 01:46:24,630 --> 01:46:29,250 who's on first? Kind of mocking Chinese names? No problem. 1764 01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:34,470 Adam Curry: Hey, but did the gays lash out at you? Yeah. 1765 01:46:35,670 --> 01:46:37,320 John C Dvorak: They did. Yeah, that was my first experience 1766 01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,500 getting lashed out at now, if this was done in a modern 1767 01:46:40,500 --> 01:46:43,500 context I'd had been marginalized to to an extreme. 1768 01:46:43,710 --> 01:46:47,730 Luckily, I, you know, it never got any further than the use of 1769 01:46:47,730 --> 01:46:50,730 that one word one time in 1981. And then learning about 1770 01:46:50,730 --> 01:46:55,740 political correctness in 1981. Right, oh, this goes back. This 1771 01:46:56,220 --> 01:46:57,390 went on for a long time. 1772 01:46:57,420 --> 01:47:00,840 Adam Curry: I agree. I agree. But now we're talking nine years 1773 01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:06,360 ago. GamerGate gamified, the whole D platforming game. I 1774 01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,760 think that's really when all of that started. That 1775 01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:11,340 John C Dvorak: could be you know, I don't have a better 1776 01:47:11,340 --> 01:47:14,160 example than my obscure one D 1777 01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:17,220 Adam Curry: platforming is a game. It's like how far can I 1778 01:47:17,220 --> 01:47:20,640 push everything until I get cancelled? Or D platformed? Or 1779 01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:22,530 demonetised? Or whatever? 1780 01:47:22,740 --> 01:47:25,590 John C Dvorak: Yeah. demonetized. It was is it's 1781 01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:28,650 Christmas. It's a game. It's a game you first you get 1782 01:47:28,650 --> 01:47:31,440 demonetised and you get reprimanded, and you get the 1783 01:47:31,440 --> 01:47:34,710 platform, then you get kicked off, and then you get it one 1784 01:47:34,710 --> 01:47:35,970 thing after another. Yeah. 1785 01:47:37,860 --> 01:47:40,020 Adam Curry: According to the Daily wire, the Los Angeles 1786 01:47:40,020 --> 01:47:45,180 School District is a pipeline for the trans youth clinic. The 1787 01:47:45,180 --> 01:47:50,460 what the Los Angeles Unified School District is a pipeline 1788 01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:56,130 has a pipeline for it to the trans youth clinics. So 1789 01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:59,730 bypassing the parents for medical intervention, 1790 01:47:59,730 --> 01:48:02,010 John C Dvorak: sterilization, do you have to bypass the parents, 1791 01:48:02,010 --> 01:48:03,720 you're not going to get anywhere, which is where 1792 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:05,850 Adam Curry: the rainbow guard comes in. This is exactly what 1793 01:48:05,850 --> 01:48:12,090 happened in in my lifetime in the Maoist China is exactly what 1794 01:48:12,090 --> 01:48:15,990 happened. And all those kids all looked to the androgynous and 1795 01:48:15,990 --> 01:48:18,780 they and they wound up killing their parents. 1796 01:48:19,980 --> 01:48:23,070 John C Dvorak: A lot of them giving their teachers killing 1797 01:48:23,070 --> 01:48:26,070 everybody. Yeah, it was a moment in time. That was quite 1798 01:48:26,070 --> 01:48:30,600 fascinating. It unless you were in China, unless you're in 1799 01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:31,080 China. 1800 01:48:32,220 --> 01:48:33,270 Adam Curry: Not all that fast. So 1801 01:48:33,270 --> 01:48:35,610 John C Dvorak: if we're out here looking at it, wow, these guys 1802 01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:36,840 are nuts. So now 1803 01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:41,640 Adam Curry: we gotta go to the AI, which has been severely 1804 01:48:42,570 --> 01:48:50,550 affected by this. In particular, Gemini, the latest rebrand of 1805 01:48:50,550 --> 01:48:55,500 Google barf. And now of course, we all saw it was pretty funny. 1806 01:48:55,500 --> 01:48:59,610 They actually let me play this. Matt Taibbi clip because he has 1807 01:48:59,610 --> 01:49:01,470 a good testimony about this 1808 01:49:01,530 --> 01:49:05,100 Unknown: last week Google's much ballyhooed new AI tool, Gemini 1809 01:49:05,100 --> 01:49:07,860 became a national punch line company engineers built an AI 1810 01:49:07,860 --> 01:49:10,350 that apparently couldn't or wouldn't draw white faces, 1811 01:49:10,500 --> 01:49:14,310 resulting in images like Pope Viking in 1943, German soldier 1812 01:49:14,490 --> 01:49:17,940 that were reimagined as preposterous ly inspired reboots 1813 01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:20,670 is Gemini about controversies involving various famous 1814 01:49:20,670 --> 01:49:23,520 politicians. I don't know how to answer that a kept saying, when 1815 01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:26,160 I asked the same question about myself, it sped out a long list 1816 01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,980 of episodes but articles with titles like the great California 1817 01:49:28,980 --> 01:49:32,310 Water heist, and Glenn Beck's war on comedy to describe racist 1818 01:49:32,310 --> 01:49:35,430 remarks. I apparently made an accusations of anti semitism 1819 01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:38,520 after I supposedly described Nestle executives as having 1820 01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:41,790 noses like giant penises, please, I thought none of this 1821 01:49:41,790 --> 01:49:43,710 ever happened. I never wrote any of those articles. They don't 1822 01:49:43,710 --> 01:49:48,540 exist, Google explained. Gemini is a creativity tool and may not 1823 01:49:48,540 --> 01:49:51,870 always be accurate. Just think Gemini shows the awesome 1824 01:49:51,870 --> 01:49:55,320 dystopian possibilities of AI. Forget the funny historical 1825 01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:58,260 errors it creates instant deep fake compromised about real 1826 01:49:58,260 --> 01:50:00,840 people like me and probably like You. So 1827 01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:03,720 Adam Curry: we have boots on the ground inside Google, I verified 1828 01:50:03,720 --> 01:50:06,630 this source as someone who could actually know and writes very 1829 01:50:06,630 --> 01:50:11,010 short. Hey, Adam, I work at Google and On Gemini, in case 1830 01:50:11,010 --> 01:50:14,580 you're wondering how Gemini produces black revolutionary war 1831 01:50:14,580 --> 01:50:18,780 generals and other diverse results, it's through a layer 1832 01:50:18,780 --> 01:50:24,150 that rewrites your query. If you write quote, show me pictures of 1833 01:50:24,150 --> 01:50:28,800 Vikings, it will be rewritten as quote, show me a diverse picture 1834 01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:32,130 of Vikings, including a black male in a wheelchair. He says 1835 01:50:32,130 --> 01:50:37,860 this is an actual example. I verified via internal tooling. I 1836 01:50:37,860 --> 01:50:41,760 believe this is happening a lot at Google. I think rewriting 1837 01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:46,260 queries happens a lot. And it wouldn't surprise me this is 1838 01:50:46,260 --> 01:50:47,730 exactly what went down. 1839 01:50:50,610 --> 01:50:53,250 Unknown: But why broke? 1840 01:50:53,490 --> 01:50:57,480 Adam Curry: Why why any of this? Why? Why? 1841 01:50:59,220 --> 01:51:02,940 John C Dvorak: I, it seems to me that you don't want to do this. 1842 01:51:04,770 --> 01:51:07,920 it cheapens the results. It ruins the product, it gives you 1843 01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,650 a bad reputation. There's nothing good comes out of it. 1844 01:51:10,710 --> 01:51:14,970 No, Google hasn't didn't benefit from this ridiculous nonsense at 1845 01:51:14,970 --> 01:51:18,870 all. Basically, I think they did hurt him. Of course 1846 01:51:18,870 --> 01:51:22,110 Adam Curry: it did. They had no business being in this business. 1847 01:51:22,110 --> 01:51:22,500 That just 1848 01:51:22,890 --> 01:51:25,890 John C Dvorak: we have to go back to the basics about Google. 1849 01:51:25,890 --> 01:51:31,080 They're a antisocial and a social nerd system. There are 1850 01:51:31,110 --> 01:51:35,070 people that don't even socialize amongst themselves. Yes. And 1851 01:51:35,070 --> 01:51:37,410 they don't you know, they couldn't do it with their 1852 01:51:37,410 --> 01:51:40,170 Facebook clone, they couldn't do it with their Twitter clone, 1853 01:51:40,170 --> 01:51:43,710 they can't do it. They always make these these these mistakes 1854 01:51:43,710 --> 01:51:47,370 of a person who is not a socialized individual. They're 1855 01:51:47,430 --> 01:51:50,580 they're not socialized properly there. There's just nature of 1856 01:51:50,580 --> 01:51:54,780 the of the of the beast, and there's no getting around it. 1857 01:51:54,780 --> 01:51:58,260 And this shows what happens when you give them free rein. So they 1858 01:51:58,260 --> 01:52:00,900 need they need adult supervision. 1859 01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:05,250 Adam Curry: Something struck me, we have there's an entire 1860 01:52:05,250 --> 01:52:09,780 generation, perhaps we're on our second generation. And they've 1861 01:52:09,780 --> 01:52:15,000 grown up on one thing search. And the goal is information. 1862 01:52:15,030 --> 01:52:18,240 It's not even good information. It's just that's the goal, 1863 01:52:18,330 --> 01:52:22,380 search, get a result. The whole that's the whole generation 1864 01:52:22,380 --> 01:52:26,700 search, search, Yelp, Search, Google, search, YouTube, Search, 1865 01:52:26,700 --> 01:52:31,020 Search, Search, search and just give me information. I think 1866 01:52:31,020 --> 01:52:31,920 this is a problem. 1867 01:52:34,860 --> 01:52:36,540 John C Dvorak: There's no solution to this problem that 1868 01:52:36,540 --> 01:52:41,070 you created, or you just that, you know, identified let's No, 1869 01:52:41,100 --> 01:52:41,820 no, no, I 1870 01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,790 Adam Curry: Well, no, I don't think so. I mean, they're, 1871 01:52:44,820 --> 01:52:47,130 they're, of course, they're really searching for connection, 1872 01:52:47,130 --> 01:52:50,460 but they're getting information. And that, you know, that's like 1873 01:52:50,460 --> 01:52:56,040 their that's it. Just search. I'll just search it. It's not 1874 01:52:56,040 --> 01:53:00,540 good. It's not good. We do it on the show. Yeah, but But you 1875 01:53:00,540 --> 01:53:06,030 know, we already made children. We're successful. We've, we've, 1876 01:53:06,270 --> 01:53:09,900 we've done our business. And let's see how else children are 1877 01:53:09,900 --> 01:53:11,520 being hurt in America schools. It's 1878 01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:14,340 Unknown: the latest incident of a new and insidious form of 1879 01:53:14,340 --> 01:53:17,760 bullying. A group of students at a Beverly Hills Middle School 1880 01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:21,240 creating deep fake pornographic images of their classmates 1881 01:53:21,300 --> 01:53:24,570 swapping the faces of their peers onto pictures of nude 1882 01:53:24,570 --> 01:53:28,830 bodies. I'm very disappointed. The school alerting parents 1883 01:53:28,830 --> 01:53:31,680 after the images were shared amongst students via text. 1884 01:53:31,860 --> 01:53:35,130 Beverly Hills police are now assisting in the investigation. 1885 01:53:35,490 --> 01:53:39,570 This is new unchartered territory when it comes to 1886 01:53:40,650 --> 01:53:44,010 information being created and disseminated. 1887 01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:47,010 There disturbing incident happening just weeks after fake 1888 01:53:47,010 --> 01:53:50,370 nude images of Taylor Swift appeared online District 1889 01:53:50,370 --> 01:53:53,100 Superintendent Michael braggy sees a connection 1890 01:53:53,310 --> 01:53:56,760 do believe that that played they do believe in our students 1891 01:53:56,760 --> 01:54:00,060 becoming aware of what's possible with the technology. 1892 01:54:00,210 --> 01:54:01,320 This technology 1893 01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:04,740 is easy to use and so easily accessible. They can get it 1894 01:54:04,740 --> 01:54:08,310 right on their phones instantaneously, create content 1895 01:54:08,340 --> 01:54:12,360 and then send it anywhere. Ai still so new, this all falls 1896 01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:15,990 into a legal gray area. Experts say it's still unclear if the 1897 01:54:15,990 --> 01:54:19,560 fake images are even child pornography. Why are there not 1898 01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:23,220 more legal protections to prevent this type of incident 1899 01:54:23,220 --> 01:54:24,330 from happening right now? 1900 01:54:24,990 --> 01:54:29,430 This is one of the situations where law is oftentimes chasing 1901 01:54:29,430 --> 01:54:30,600 after technology. 1902 01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:33,960 A federal bill aims to criminalize sharing sexually 1903 01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:38,550 explicit deep fake photos but it stalled in Congress. Yes, of 1904 01:54:38,550 --> 01:54:39,210 course. 1905 01:54:40,500 --> 01:54:43,290 Adam Curry: It's like this is new. It's like not even 1906 01:54:43,290 --> 01:54:46,080 John C Dvorak: close to being new. This is going on once Adobe 1907 01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:52,080 Photoshop was released in 1987. I might add these started to 1908 01:54:52,080 --> 01:54:55,920 happen and ever since I started with Microsoft Paint 1909 01:54:59,310 --> 01:55:02,160 Adam Curry: I know I made Some great images and Microsoft Paint 1910 01:55:02,190 --> 01:55:04,500 John C Dvorak: well you can do with any of these things GIMP 1911 01:55:04,500 --> 01:55:08,700 when it came out you could do it again. Get again Oh, the point 1912 01:55:08,700 --> 01:55:11,550 is is that you could do this but it was hard now you could just 1913 01:55:11,550 --> 01:55:15,090 do it with a prompt I mean yeah like now it's lazy man's version 1914 01:55:15,390 --> 01:55:19,680 make so and so you know.

Easy I show my friends faces but then filtered 1930 01:56:07,710 --> 01:56:09,240 their bodies to make them appear nude 1931 01:56:09,240 --> 01:56:12,540 Caroline's friends had become victims of deep fakes, 1932 01:56:12,660 --> 01:56:16,950 manipulated photos, videos or audio created using artificial 1933 01:56:16,950 --> 01:56:21,000 intelligence that appear real over the last year as AI has 1934 01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:24,180 become more accessible. Deep fakes have become more 1935 01:56:24,180 --> 01:56:27,690 prevalent, with targets ranging from political figures to 1936 01:56:27,690 --> 01:56:32,190 celebrities like Taylor Swift, to high schoolers. This week, 1937 01:56:32,220 --> 01:56:36,030 reports of students creating and sharing nude AI generated 1938 01:56:36,030 --> 01:56:40,020 pictures of other students at a Beverly Hills Middle School has 1939 01:56:40,020 --> 01:56:41,940 led to a police investigation. 1940 01:56:42,210 --> 01:56:44,880 So used to be you needed hundreds and 1000s of images. 1941 01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:47,310 Now you need a single image of somebody that's been about in 1942 01:56:47,310 --> 01:56:50,880 the last year, there is zero barrier to entry. Now, you don't 1943 01:56:50,880 --> 01:56:53,850 need skill. You don't need money. You don't need time and 1944 01:56:53,850 --> 01:56:54,780 you don't need effort. 1945 01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:58,740 And under the current Washington State law, if someone's images 1946 01:56:58,740 --> 01:57:02,160 used to make pornographic content without their consent, 1947 01:57:02,190 --> 01:57:07,050 there's no legal recourse. Which is why last month 15 year old 1948 01:57:07,050 --> 01:57:10,860 Caroline felt compelled to testify on behalf of her friends 1949 01:57:10,980 --> 01:57:12,990 to support a bill that will change that. 1950 01:57:13,110 --> 01:57:17,430 I'm just glad that now it might become a law. So it will ensure 1951 01:57:17,430 --> 01:57:19,410 that things like this won't happen again. 1952 01:57:19,770 --> 01:57:22,020 Adam Curry: I find this from a legal perspective. I find it 1953 01:57:22,020 --> 01:57:27,330 very interesting. Of course, I see the point with children and 1954 01:57:27,330 --> 01:57:32,760 minors, but in general, is this not literal free speech that is 1955 01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:36,360 being exercised? Here? I'm speaking a prompt. It is 1956 01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:38,460 creating a caricature. It is 1957 01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:41,280 John C Dvorak: not my it's not my fault. You know that you can 1958 01:57:41,340 --> 01:57:46,050 also say what isn't the company who produced the image? In other 1959 01:57:46,050 --> 01:57:51,450 words, some some system, some websites, something sent you the 1960 01:57:51,450 --> 01:57:54,090 image. They're the ones responsible now in the olden 1961 01:57:54,090 --> 01:58:00,660 days when I was a kid, if you go back to the 70s, you pornography 1962 01:58:00,660 --> 01:58:05,910 was generally illegal. It wasn't until Clinton came around it all 1963 01:58:05,910 --> 01:58:09,660 of a sudden the good old laws gotten relaxed. Yeah, 1964 01:58:09,660 --> 01:58:10,440 Adam Curry: they sure did. 1965 01:58:12,210 --> 01:58:15,000 John C Dvorak: But then, pornography used to be illegal. 1966 01:58:15,030 --> 01:58:18,210 Adam Curry: But I guess my point is, so what if they wanted to 1967 01:58:18,210 --> 01:58:23,520 put your head on the body of a dog? Or have a chimpanzee? Oh, 1968 01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:26,430 no, let's, if we put a black person's head on the body of a 1969 01:58:26,430 --> 01:58:32,550 chimpanzee. I mean, where does the law go? is only about nude 1970 01:58:32,550 --> 01:58:36,870 pictures? And it's obviously not not that person is just their 1971 01:58:36,870 --> 01:58:41,850 head. Just Taylor Swift have a case? I mean, what are we really 1972 01:58:41,850 --> 01:58:45,570 trying to do? I don't want to sound I'm trying not trying to 1973 01:58:45,570 --> 01:58:48,120 sound like a creek like, Oh, it's good to do this. But at a 1974 01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:50,280 certain certain point, 1975 01:58:50,370 --> 01:58:51,720 John C Dvorak: like fun kid. 1976 01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:55,080 Adam Curry: Where do you stop? I mean, where does it stop? How 1977 01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:56,400 far can this go? 1978 01:58:57,600 --> 01:58:59,700 John C Dvorak: And well, we're gonna find out during this next 1979 01:58:59,700 --> 01:59:00,660 election cycle. 1980 01:59:00,660 --> 01:59:04,710 Adam Curry: Yeah, you're right. You're right. And none of it's 1981 01:59:04,710 --> 01:59:05,070 good. 1982 01:59:05,250 --> 01:59:07,380 John C Dvorak: Because it's gonna be pretty gross. By the 1983 01:59:07,380 --> 01:59:10,920 time we get to, I'd say September, October. We're gonna 1984 01:59:10,920 --> 01:59:14,190 have a lot of this going on. We're gonna have some stuff that 1985 01:59:14,190 --> 01:59:16,710 is going to be hilarious. 1986 01:59:17,970 --> 01:59:20,490 Adam Curry: To say the least. Well, that you bring that up. 1987 01:59:20,490 --> 01:59:22,800 But yes, part two of this clip series. 1988 01:59:23,220 --> 01:59:26,010 Unknown: Now that bill in Washington state that Caroline 1989 01:59:26,010 --> 01:59:29,430 testified for is expected to be voted on later today on the 1990 01:59:29,430 --> 01:59:33,540 State Senate. If it passes, like it did unanimously in the house, 1991 01:59:33,540 --> 01:59:36,750 it will go to the governor to become law. But again, this is 1992 01:59:36,750 --> 01:59:40,530 one state and the internet is stateless. It's everywhere. 1993 01:59:40,530 --> 01:59:43,530 Exactly. I don't have to tell you where our election year 1994 01:59:43,560 --> 01:59:46,530 Yeah, so a lot of bad actors out there. How can you protect 1995 01:59:46,530 --> 01:59:46,980 yourself? 1996 01:59:47,160 --> 01:59:51,000 Well, it's scary and there really is no silver bullet 1997 01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,210 solution here. These companies have come together and said 1998 01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:57,390 they're going to work towards misinformation. But the bottom 1999 01:59:57,390 --> 02:00:00,570 line for a consumer of information every person who is 2000 02:00:00,570 --> 02:00:03,810 watching right now is that you really do have to be skeptical. 2001 02:00:03,810 --> 02:00:07,590 I often say buyer beware in my stories. And the reality is the 2002 02:00:07,590 --> 02:00:10,740 buyer has to be aware here too. You have to think about who is 2003 02:00:10,740 --> 02:00:14,730 the source? Where did this thing originate? How is it being used, 2004 02:00:14,910 --> 02:00:18,660 and be skeptical and seek out more information? If you see the 2005 02:00:18,660 --> 02:00:22,020 one image on someone's Facebook or Instagram or Twitter page, 2006 02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:24,090 look and see where else it's coming from? 2007 02:00:24,120 --> 02:00:25,020 How did it begin? 2008 02:00:25,140 --> 02:00:26,070 Oh, yes, 2009 02:00:26,100 --> 02:00:27,930 Adam Curry: this is good information. Thank you. It's 2010 02:00:27,930 --> 02:00:32,520 very helpful. I don't know man. We got we got parades where 2011 02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:37,140 everyone's dancing around naked. Looking like men looking like 2012 02:00:37,140 --> 02:00:40,830 women, women looking like men. It's all good. It's encouraged 2013 02:00:40,830 --> 02:00:45,240 is great. And then oh, we have someone prompted as horrible. 2014 02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:51,660 This information, calling, calling Dylan Mulvaney a woman 2015 02:00:51,660 --> 02:00:56,880 that's disinformation. There's your disinformation. Admiral 2016 02:00:56,880 --> 02:01:01,890 Levine. This information that's confusing to children. 2017 02:01:03,330 --> 02:01:05,850 John C Dvorak: Yeah, who am I? Yeah. As you'd like to put it, 2018 02:01:06,090 --> 02:01:08,970 you have the phrase dude in a dress. 2019 02:01:10,050 --> 02:01:15,750 Adam Curry: Do dress? Yes. There was one. There's a couple dev 2020 02:01:15,750 --> 02:01:23,130 two more fun stories. And this one, let me see. I think I have 2021 02:01:23,820 --> 02:01:28,020 Yes, the series from NBC that I think this really tells you 2022 02:01:28,020 --> 02:01:33,840 where we're at in our economy, with our our intake our food, 2023 02:01:33,990 --> 02:01:37,260 what we eat, what we're concerned about in life, and 2024 02:01:37,260 --> 02:01:41,670 this is the dynamic pricing at when 2025 02:01:42,660 --> 02:01:45,840 John C Dvorak: this by the way, this has become a baseline issue 2026 02:01:45,840 --> 02:01:49,920 for most news networks at this point. And it came up I was 2027 02:01:49,920 --> 02:01:53,310 watching some stuff this morning and they came up with I guess 2028 02:01:53,340 --> 02:02:01,110 Burger King is going to start dynamic pricing. This is to me 2029 02:02:01,290 --> 02:02:06,240 just before you play the clips This is least expected clips I 2030 02:02:07,770 --> 02:02:14,490 would predict I think dynamic pricing is a way to to make an 2031 02:02:14,490 --> 02:02:15,960 excuse for deflation 2032 02:02:16,650 --> 02:02:20,100 Adam Curry: thank you this exactly this is an economic 2033 02:02:20,100 --> 02:02:23,820 issue. I'm I'm thinking that these but 2034 02:02:24,510 --> 02:02:27,510 John C Dvorak: let me say this deflation is the world's is the 2035 02:02:27,510 --> 02:02:29,520 most dangerous word in finance. The 2036 02:02:29,670 --> 02:02:31,470 Adam Curry: most dangerous thing you can have super 2037 02:02:31,470 --> 02:02:32,190 John C Dvorak: dangerous. 2038 02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:38,190 Adam Curry: How dangerous super birthday super, super, super 2039 02:02:38,190 --> 02:02:42,360 super duper goes. Yes. Now I believe the the morning shows 2040 02:02:42,390 --> 02:02:45,150 are only talking about this because they're paid. These are 2041 02:02:45,150 --> 02:02:48,360 advertisements. It could be trial balloons for these 2042 02:02:48,360 --> 02:02:50,280 companies. But here's the story. The latest 2043 02:02:50,280 --> 02:02:52,770 Unknown: Baconator isn't the only new item hitting Wendy's 2044 02:02:52,770 --> 02:02:56,010 menu, the fast food giant planning to test out dynamic 2045 02:02:56,010 --> 02:03:00,330 pricing as early as 2025. It's a practice that charges different 2046 02:03:00,330 --> 02:03:04,710 prices for the same items based on demand throughout the day. 2047 02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:08,310 For example, a cheeseburger and fries could cost you more during 2048 02:03:08,310 --> 02:03:10,590 the lunch rush than during a down period. 2049 02:03:10,740 --> 02:03:13,470 I wouldn't ever expect that a fast food restaurant to do this 2050 02:03:13,500 --> 02:03:13,710 on 2051 02:03:13,710 --> 02:03:17,700 a call with investors. Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner says his company 2052 02:03:17,700 --> 02:03:21,480 will invest $20 million on digital menu boards, allowing 2053 02:03:21,480 --> 02:03:23,940 customers to see the updated prices 2054 02:03:24,060 --> 02:03:28,230 beginning as early as 2025 we will begin testing more enhanced 2055 02:03:28,230 --> 02:03:32,640 features like dynamic pricing and Daypart offering along with 2056 02:03:32,730 --> 02:03:35,820 AI enabled menu changes and suggested selling 2057 02:03:37,020 --> 02:03:40,290 Adam Curry: is this just an AI play? Is this his this Wendy's 2058 02:03:40,290 --> 02:03:44,520 like hey man, let's get our stock up. I know, let's tell him 2059 02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:48,510 we're gonna use AI for dynamic pricing. Juniors the boss is 2060 02:03:48,510 --> 02:03:48,990 great 2061 02:03:49,020 --> 02:03:50,910 Unknown: changes and suggested selling 2062 02:03:50,940 --> 02:03:54,630 fast food restaurants already dealing with blowback on soaring 2063 02:03:54,630 --> 02:03:59,130 prices from their customers as stories of $18 Big Macs and $7 2064 02:03:59,130 --> 02:04:02,760 Egg McMuffins at McDonald's went viral. Now adding dynamic 2065 02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:05,280 pricing to the mix could potentially be damaging to the 2066 02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:05,970 industry. 2067 02:04:06,240 --> 02:04:09,330 I don't think anyone's gonna pay extra for the exact same thing 2068 02:04:09,330 --> 02:04:10,770 that they were getting for less. 2069 02:04:10,950 --> 02:04:15,930 In fact, one survey finding 36% of consumers would order less 2070 02:04:15,930 --> 02:04:19,170 often from restaurants adopting the practice, we'll have to be 2071 02:04:19,170 --> 02:04:21,150 really careful about not angering consumers who are 2072 02:04:21,150 --> 02:04:22,620 already kind of inflation weary. 2073 02:04:22,650 --> 02:04:25,560 That's actually what's made the industry very sort of hesitant 2074 02:04:25,560 --> 02:04:29,880 to dive fully in. There are definite risks involved. And 2075 02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:31,830 they really don't want to anger customers. 2076 02:04:32,220 --> 02:04:37,500 Adam Curry: So, the news program and models make an argument that 2077 02:04:37,500 --> 02:04:40,200 our life is already filled with dynamic pricing. 2078 02:04:40,230 --> 02:04:42,810 Unknown: But these fluctuating prices are nothing new to 2079 02:04:42,810 --> 02:04:45,930 inflation fatigued consumers who are used to seeing surging 2080 02:04:45,930 --> 02:04:48,750 prices on everything from airlines to concert tickets, 2081 02:04:48,930 --> 02:04:52,350 like Taylor Swift eras, tour ticket master drama, 2082 02:04:52,380 --> 02:04:53,820 Adam Curry: there's always 2083 02:04:53,820 --> 02:04:59,790 Unknown: been $899 per ticket, dynamic craziness, the word and 2084 02:04:59,790 --> 02:05:03,240 right Shares like Lyft and Uber notoriously faced backlash from 2085 02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:07,590 consumers when riders see unexpected costs using 2086 02:05:07,620 --> 02:05:12,600 Ubers. Like eight $10. Tonight, it was like 50 Some of them 2087 02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:15,750 books. A little did I know about surge price. 2088 02:05:15,780 --> 02:05:18,720 But experts say this is a rare move from the fast food 2089 02:05:18,720 --> 02:05:21,660 industry, which has been hesitant to sink its teeth into 2090 02:05:21,660 --> 02:05:24,510 varying prices. This would be a big deal for restaurants. If 2091 02:05:24,510 --> 02:05:25,920 this was widely adopted, it's 2092 02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:28,470 really going to depend on how customers react, even customers 2093 02:05:28,470 --> 02:05:31,950 are okay with it, you'll see more of it. And if Wendy's test 2094 02:05:31,980 --> 02:05:35,040 doesn't work, for whatever reason, you might not see it 2095 02:05:35,070 --> 02:05:36,120 that often. Now 2096 02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:40,410 Adam Curry: before I play the last clip, explain why deflation 2097 02:05:40,410 --> 02:05:41,820 is superduper bad. 2098 02:05:43,230 --> 02:05:46,680 John C Dvorak: The problem with deflation is that it it it kills 2099 02:05:46,710 --> 02:05:50,610 a demand because what happens is people who always the prices are 2100 02:05:50,610 --> 02:05:53,550 going down I'll wait until it gets down lower I'm gonna make 2101 02:05:53,550 --> 02:05:58,200 an a bite out by tomorrow. So is a deflationary system creates a 2102 02:05:58,230 --> 02:06:03,420 such a slowdown in demand that it ruins economies. And so you 2103 02:06:03,420 --> 02:06:06,060 don't want any deflation whatsoever. Now with these 2104 02:06:06,060 --> 02:06:09,480 restaurants, I think they can beat this this negative 2105 02:06:09,510 --> 02:06:13,290 publicity because Uber and these other operations which have this 2106 02:06:13,680 --> 02:06:18,240 ballooning prices by setting a top limit because what they want 2107 02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:21,180 to do is bring prices down. Yeah, right. And so what you do 2108 02:06:21,180 --> 02:06:24,270 is you just said, No, the max will always be this will this 2109 02:06:24,270 --> 02:06:27,510 will be which is the normal price will be the max and and 2110 02:06:27,510 --> 02:06:31,500 the not the same as Uber surge price you're waiting prices will 2111 02:06:31,500 --> 02:06:35,640 go down, not up ever. And if they get that message across, 2112 02:06:35,640 --> 02:06:38,460 which they're not doing with these reports, but if they get 2113 02:06:38,460 --> 02:06:40,830 that message across, then they can do what they want to do, 2114 02:06:40,830 --> 02:06:43,920 which is lower prices. Now I should mention that in some 2115 02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:47,700 cities, San Francisco being one of them, they have this 2116 02:06:47,790 --> 02:06:53,190 fluctuating prices on parking meters. Now the parking meters 2117 02:06:53,190 --> 02:06:56,670 around me VO for example, when we were there, yeah, they would 2118 02:06:56,670 --> 02:07:01,830 go up and down. Depending on whether or not there was a 2119 02:07:01,830 --> 02:07:05,280 Giants game, which was walking distance from the office, right? 2120 02:07:05,280 --> 02:07:08,160 I remember. So if there was a Giants game, it would go from, 2121 02:07:08,340 --> 02:07:13,230 you know, like 25 cents for a half hour to like 25 cents for 2122 02:07:13,230 --> 02:07:17,040 five minutes. And you had to pump in about six bucks where 2123 02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:22,620 the coins to park. And this is this mechanism is, is 2124 02:07:22,620 --> 02:07:23,850 everywhere. So 2125 02:07:24,150 --> 02:07:27,840 Adam Curry: here's a thought for the lunch crowd for the lunch 2126 02:07:27,870 --> 02:07:33,120 crowd. How about brown bag? Can we bring the brown bag back? How 2127 02:07:33,120 --> 02:07:35,880 about a PB and J you brought from home and that's what we 2128 02:07:35,880 --> 02:07:37,260 used to do. People said 2129 02:07:37,260 --> 02:07:39,180 Unknown: we reached out to Wendy is telling us in a statement 2130 02:07:39,180 --> 02:07:42,180 overnight this dynamic pricing can allow Wendy's to be 2131 02:07:42,180 --> 02:07:46,320 competitive and flexible with pricing, motivate customers to 2132 02:07:46,320 --> 02:07:50,370 visit and provide them with the food they love at a great value. 2133 02:07:55,140 --> 02:07:57,780 I mean, it feels like we're constantly being taken advantage 2134 02:07:57,780 --> 02:08:01,050 of as customers. Is it reasonable to believe that if 2135 02:08:01,050 --> 02:08:04,230 Windows does this, that everyone else will follow suit? 2136 02:08:04,290 --> 02:08:07,410 It's a test that begins in 2025. We asked the other chains we 2137 02:08:07,410 --> 02:08:09,810 asked Burger King we asked him McDonald's they didn't respond 2138 02:08:09,810 --> 02:08:14,400 but KFC said it has no no plans at this time to try a dynamic 2139 02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:18,150 pricing on its menu. The fast food industry has been reticent 2140 02:08:18,150 --> 02:08:21,150 to do this in the past. But we'll see if these new menu 2141 02:08:21,150 --> 02:08:24,300 boards dynamic menu look if the if the burgers cheaper later in 2142 02:08:24,300 --> 02:08:26,040 the day that might entice me to be honest, 2143 02:08:26,070 --> 02:08:29,970 no, but if you work a shift and your lunch hours between 12 and 2144 02:08:29,970 --> 02:08:32,730 one and you just have time to go grab a burger and that's the 2145 02:08:32,730 --> 02:08:35,730 time that they're the price the highest. Yeah, that would just 2146 02:08:35,730 --> 02:08:37,530 be incredibly frustrating. busier, 2147 02:08:37,530 --> 02:08:39,390 so it's slower and yes, more. 2148 02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:43,230 I don't think of fast food like an airline ticket. I don't Yeah, 2149 02:08:43,230 --> 02:08:48,570 that's the same kind of model. You're welcome. I am your 2150 02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:51,780 outrage. As Craig said, 2151 02:08:53,880 --> 02:08:56,370 John C Dvorak: Oh my God, what a bunch of wind bags. 2152 02:08:56,880 --> 02:09:01,320 Adam Curry: As blitz points out in the troll room. Both brown 2153 02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:05,850 bags and PB and J have been declared racist by the Marxist. 2154 02:09:05,850 --> 02:09:11,430 So I apologize for my deviant behavior. Like, there we go. Oh, 2155 02:09:11,460 --> 02:09:14,400 my goodness. Yeah, that's where we're at just where we're at is 2156 02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:18,900 where we're at. Alright, I'm sorry. I was gonna do one more 2157 02:09:18,900 --> 02:09:23,610 just that not off. Not much discussed story. And then I'll 2158 02:09:23,610 --> 02:09:24,690 let it go. How's that sound? 2159 02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:28,080 John C Dvorak: Okay, I only have three Biden, Hunter Biden clips 2160 02:09:28,260 --> 02:09:28,920 to keep us up. 2161 02:09:29,820 --> 02:09:33,720 Adam Curry: Alright, so this is the stories we talked about. On 2162 02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:37,470 the last show. It's finally getting a little bit of a press 2163 02:09:37,470 --> 02:09:41,340 attention, because people can't get their SSRIs and they're 2164 02:09:41,670 --> 02:09:47,310 Adderall and Vyvanse. And Lord knows what else. But but there 2165 02:09:47,310 --> 02:09:47,670 is. 2166 02:09:48,120 --> 02:09:50,670 John C Dvorak: What is Vyvanse it's I've never heard of it 2167 02:09:50,670 --> 02:09:51,570 until recently. Well, 2168 02:09:51,570 --> 02:09:54,420 Adam Curry: Vyvanse is the same compound. Oh, what are we 2169 02:09:54,420 --> 02:09:55,470 drinking? Are you drinking? 2170 02:09:56,280 --> 02:10:01,470 John C Dvorak: Pure the qua qua Yeah, you're lactose. wha wha, 2171 02:10:01,770 --> 02:10:02,970 Unknown: wha? You're 2172 02:10:03,540 --> 02:10:07,260 Adam Curry: okay, so that's just mineral water basically, fancy 2173 02:10:07,260 --> 02:10:15,840 mineral water tap water Come on. Yes. So Vyvanse is the same kind 2174 02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:19,710 of the same compound as Adderall. Only it is, is delayed 2175 02:10:19,710 --> 02:10:27,240 release. No, please. It lasts longer for extra flavor. So 2176 02:10:27,240 --> 02:10:30,300 here's the story. And then there's a sub context which is 2177 02:10:30,300 --> 02:10:31,830 not being discussed or learning more 2178 02:10:31,830 --> 02:10:34,200 Unknown: about a cyberattack on a major health insurance 2179 02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:37,410 company. It's causing big delays and frustrations for many 2180 02:10:37,410 --> 02:10:40,440 Americans trying to get their prescription drugs. Here's ABC 2181 02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:42,330 is Lanham Luis. This 2182 02:10:42,330 --> 02:10:45,690 morning, nearly one week after a cyber attack hit the nation's 2183 02:10:45,720 --> 02:10:49,680 largest health insurer. 1000s of pharmacies are still facing 2184 02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:52,890 disruptions, fulfilling prescription drug orders, and 2185 02:10:52,890 --> 02:10:53,280 you 2186 02:10:53,460 --> 02:10:57,060 potentially get into life and death scenarios where patients 2187 02:10:57,060 --> 02:11:01,800 can't gain health care or in this case, patients can gain 2188 02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:04,140 access to prescription medication, 2189 02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:07,170 the attack crippled change health care's digital network 2190 02:11:07,170 --> 02:11:10,500 which is a part of United Healthcare. The company says it 2191 02:11:10,500 --> 02:11:14,520 took immediate action to prevent further impact pharmacies use 2192 02:11:14,520 --> 02:11:17,460 changes network to verify insurance coverage. 2193 02:11:17,580 --> 02:11:20,700 And if you have a very expensive medication, you might be stuck 2194 02:11:20,700 --> 02:11:23,820 in a position where you have to pay cash in order to get it at 2195 02:11:23,820 --> 02:11:25,350 least temporarily. Times 2196 02:11:25,350 --> 02:11:27,960 are hard these days and something like that. I mean, I'm 2197 02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:31,980 sure that would impact a family, but neutral reports that could 2198 02:11:31,980 --> 02:11:35,520 be blamed for the cyber attack. But Reuters now reports the 2199 02:11:35,550 --> 02:11:39,720 infamous ransomware gang, black cat may be responsible. Why are 2200 02:11:39,720 --> 02:11:41,550 they so concerning? So Blackhat 2201 02:11:41,550 --> 02:11:45,990 is the same organization that took down MGM and Caesars 2202 02:11:45,990 --> 02:11:50,100 Entertainment that was very damaging to those organizations. 2203 02:11:50,310 --> 02:11:53,700 Cyber criminals are increasingly targeting healthcare systems. 2204 02:11:53,970 --> 02:11:57,210 Earlier this month, a cyber attack on a Chicago hospital 2205 02:11:57,330 --> 02:12:01,650 shut down phones and computers with this latest attack of 2206 02:12:01,650 --> 02:12:04,920 pharmacy near Pittsburgh is using the honor system, giving 2207 02:12:04,920 --> 02:12:08,640 patients their meds now and billing insurance later. It's 2208 02:12:08,640 --> 02:12:13,290 also risky. Is your going to process a claim? And are you 2209 02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:15,810 whenever the insurance is back up and running? Are we actually 2210 02:12:15,810 --> 02:12:19,470 going to get paid what we should get paid for that prescription. 2211 02:12:20,010 --> 02:12:20,400 Large 2212 02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:23,820 pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVs are reporting only a 2213 02:12:23,820 --> 02:12:27,210 limited impact from this attack, but it's the smaller pharmacies 2214 02:12:27,210 --> 02:12:30,000 that have been most affected. Many have switched to paper 2215 02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:32,940 processing, which is causing delays and backlogs. 2216 02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:38,070 Adam Curry: So this is not good. Now, what is not discussed is, 2217 02:12:38,220 --> 02:12:44,460 and it's unclear if this is Black Cat or locked bit. But one 2218 02:12:44,460 --> 02:12:49,770 of this, of course, will be the Russians. Now obviously, they 2219 02:12:49,770 --> 02:12:53,970 say that they have a whole bunch of interesting documents 2220 02:12:53,970 --> 02:12:56,790 relating to the Donald Trump trial that they're going to 2221 02:12:56,790 --> 02:13:01,830 release if the ransom is not paid. This is not discussed very 2222 02:13:01,830 --> 02:13:06,300 much. Even though Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs wrote 2223 02:13:06,300 --> 02:13:09,240 a blog post about it. He is not published it in the Washington 2224 02:13:09,240 --> 02:13:12,690 Post at this hour, who 2225 02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:14,880 John C Dvorak: was the indication that these documents 2226 02:13:14,880 --> 02:13:15,570 revealed 2227 02:13:15,660 --> 02:13:21,270 Adam Curry: the stolen document? According to Brian Krebs, WaPo, 2228 02:13:21,270 --> 02:13:25,440 reporter on his blog, February 24, letter, the stolen documents 2229 02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:27,930 contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump's court 2230 02:13:27,930 --> 02:13:30,900 cases that could affect the upcoming US election. 2231 02:13:32,430 --> 02:13:33,150 Unknown: Ooh. 2232 02:13:35,550 --> 02:13:37,800 Adam Curry: So we'll see. But there's not a lot of reporting 2233 02:13:37,800 --> 02:13:38,340 on that. 2234 02:13:39,510 --> 02:13:42,300 John C Dvorak: Well, that means it must be something good Biden, 2235 02:13:42,300 --> 02:13:42,420 it 2236 02:13:42,420 --> 02:13:44,070 Adam Curry: must be good is what it means. 2237 02:13:44,100 --> 02:13:46,320 John C Dvorak: I mean, it's probably like direct 2238 02:13:46,350 --> 02:13:49,410 correspondence between the Justice Department Biden Biden 2239 02:13:49,410 --> 02:13:52,740 White House, some of these court cases, and they've got the 2240 02:13:52,740 --> 02:13:56,100 documents to prove that they were in collusion, collusion, 2241 02:13:56,190 --> 02:13:59,970 collusion, exactly, because otherwise this would be what you 2242 02:14:00,270 --> 02:14:05,490 This is example of why we have to do a podcast like this. What 2243 02:14:05,490 --> 02:14:08,880 you pointed out is the mainstream media will not report 2244 02:14:08,880 --> 02:14:12,810 on anything that is favorable to Donald Trump. No. Why would you 2245 02:14:13,680 --> 02:14:17,220 know they don't want him even though it's so good, they make 2246 02:14:17,220 --> 02:14:21,480 money. But it's not about the money. It's about the socialism. 2247 02:14:21,600 --> 02:14:22,260 Yes. 2248 02:14:22,920 --> 02:14:27,090 Adam Curry: What is it about socialism? That's right. Okay, 2249 02:14:27,120 --> 02:14:28,890 let's do your Biden clips so we can 2250 02:14:29,190 --> 02:14:31,440 John C Dvorak: just use the catches up with a Hunter Biden. 2251 02:14:33,300 --> 02:14:37,950 is suppose it deposition testimony and was good or bad. 2252 02:14:37,950 --> 02:14:41,040 Here we go. Hunter Biden news. This is NTD. 2253 02:14:41,070 --> 02:14:44,520 Unknown: Today after months of anticipation, Hunter Biden 2254 02:14:44,520 --> 02:14:47,100 appeared before Congress to testify in the impeachment 2255 02:14:47,100 --> 02:14:51,300 inquiry into President Biden. Our Washington correspondent 2256 02:14:51,330 --> 02:14:55,260 Luis Martinez joins us live now with more on the probe. Good 2257 02:14:55,260 --> 02:14:59,610 evening, Tiffany. Yes, another big day in Capitol Hill. Today 2258 02:14:59,610 --> 02:15:03,630 this more And around 10am Hunter Biden appeared the oatmeal House 2259 02:15:03,630 --> 02:15:06,960 Office Building to testify before the House Oversight 2260 02:15:07,140 --> 02:15:09,870 Committee. That deposition is part of the impeachment inquiry 2261 02:15:09,870 --> 02:15:13,050 against President Biden. Let's remember that House Republicans 2262 02:15:13,050 --> 02:15:16,140 are accusing the president of using his political influence to 2263 02:15:16,140 --> 02:15:19,470 enrich his family members. It's important to note Tiffany that 2264 02:15:19,500 --> 02:15:22,530 Hunter Biden was originally scheduled to be deposed on the 2265 02:15:22,530 --> 02:15:26,760 13th of December of last year. But on that day, Hunter Biden 2266 02:15:26,760 --> 02:15:29,070 instead of showing up to his scheduled interview with the 2267 02:15:29,070 --> 02:15:31,650 House Oversight Committee, he took to the steps of Capitol 2268 02:15:31,650 --> 02:15:34,590 Hill to make a political statement defending his father 2269 02:15:34,680 --> 02:15:38,880 demanding a public hearing, and also vowing never to participate 2270 02:15:38,880 --> 02:15:42,810 in a closed doors deposition, which of course he did today for 2271 02:15:42,810 --> 02:15:47,040 over 7x seven hours. What changed was that the House 2272 02:15:47,040 --> 02:15:51,540 Oversight Committee passed a resolution holding in contempt 2273 02:15:51,570 --> 02:15:54,450 Hunter Biden and before that resolution could get to the 2274 02:15:54,870 --> 02:15:58,200 floor of the house. Hunter Biden's lawyers reached out to 2275 02:15:58,200 --> 02:16:02,310 the Oversight Committee to schedule today's interview. Now 2276 02:16:02,340 --> 02:16:07,200 we spoke with Hunter Biden got around the behind closed doors 2277 02:16:07,200 --> 02:16:10,590 interview by releasing beforehand before entering into 2278 02:16:10,590 --> 02:16:14,070 the interview his opening remarks in his opening remarks. 2279 02:16:14,130 --> 02:16:17,490 Hunter biting defenses father once again refutes any 2280 02:16:17,490 --> 02:16:20,370 allegations that he had to do anything with his business 2281 02:16:20,370 --> 02:16:24,720 dealings, and he also attacked the Republican Party and I read 2282 02:16:24,720 --> 02:16:28,860 a quote from his opening remarks. You do not have 2283 02:16:29,100 --> 02:16:33,960 evidence to support the baseless and mega motivated conspiracies 2284 02:16:33,960 --> 02:16:38,340 about my father, because there isn't any. I like 2285 02:16:38,340 --> 02:16:40,440 Adam Curry: Maga motivated. Yeah, I 2286 02:16:40,440 --> 02:16:41,790 John C Dvorak: love mega motivated. 2287 02:16:41,820 --> 02:16:44,220 Adam Curry: No like it has nothing like alliteration to 2288 02:16:44,250 --> 02:16:49,530 punch the punch your point home. Mag mag motivated, yes. 2289 02:16:50,040 --> 02:16:51,480 John C Dvorak: Part Two Congressman 2290 02:16:51,480 --> 02:16:54,240 Unknown: James Coomer, the chairman of the House Oversight 2291 02:16:54,240 --> 02:16:56,130 Committee, who's leading the Impeachment Inquiry had 2292 02:16:56,130 --> 02:16:58,770 something very different to say about the amount of evidence 2293 02:16:58,770 --> 02:17:02,040 they have against President Biden.

The Biden's created 2298 02:17:13,590 --> 02:17:15,810 20 shell companies. Now 2299 02:17:15,840 --> 02:17:19,650 Democrats have alleged along the process that the entire 2300 02:17:19,650 --> 02:17:23,220 impeachment inquiry is political Sham. Now this colts have also 2301 02:17:23,220 --> 02:17:27,450 revamped since Alexander Smirnoff longtime FBI informant 2302 02:17:27,450 --> 02:17:29,340 was indicted earlier. The 2303 02:17:29,339 --> 02:17:31,409 Adam Curry: guy's name is Alexander Smirnoff. 2304 02:17:33,120 --> 02:17:35,280 John C Dvorak: Seriously? Yeah.

Ma'am. 2310 02:17:46,110 --> 02:17:49,020 Unknown: Alexander Smirnoff longtime FBI informant was 2311 02:17:49,020 --> 02:17:52,860 indicted earlier this month for lying to the FBI about 2312 02:17:52,860 --> 02:17:56,310 information he provided regarding Hunter Biden and Joe 2313 02:17:56,310 --> 02:18:01,020 Biden's business dealings. Now I spoke with Congressman Democrat 2314 02:18:01,020 --> 02:18:04,650 Congressman Greg Gazzara. From Texas, a freshman on the 2315 02:18:04,650 --> 02:18:09,240 oversight Marxist COC and media and yet some very strong words 2316 02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:13,200 against Republicans who insist on the impeachment inquiry even 2317 02:18:13,200 --> 02:18:16,710 after Alexander Smirnoff was indicted. Let's listen to what 2318 02:18:16,710 --> 02:18:19,470 Congressman Greg Kasara had to say. I 2319 02:18:19,469 --> 02:18:22,469 think almost any American would say just stop embarrassing 2320 02:18:22,469 --> 02:18:25,259 yourself. Stop shaming yourself this way, and they just seem to 2321 02:18:25,259 --> 02:18:27,989 be gluttons for punishment. They're back at it again. And I 2322 02:18:27,989 --> 02:18:29,339 think they're just gonna embarrass themselves again 2323 02:18:29,339 --> 02:18:29,669 today. 2324 02:18:29,790 --> 02:18:32,820 Adam Curry: Oh, this guy he was on the city council in Austin. 2325 02:18:33,210 --> 02:18:35,670 He's like a like a Soros sister. 2326 02:18:35,940 --> 02:18:36,690 John C Dvorak: Oh yeah. 2327 02:18:37,590 --> 02:18:39,930 Adam Curry: She's no good No, 2328 02:18:39,960 --> 02:18:42,420 John C Dvorak: no all of these Democrats and they go on and on 2329 02:18:42,420 --> 02:18:45,360 about one thing that I wish I knew worked out I don't have the 2330 02:18:45,360 --> 02:18:48,720 clips about the mole calling this Russian hoax but the smear 2331 02:18:48,720 --> 02:18:51,000 now thing they're banking on that keeping 2332 02:18:51,570 --> 02:18:54,060 Adam Curry: clean nails right I mean, it's great.

I mean, when it was when Nancy Pelosi was running the 2338 02:19:09,180 --> 02:19:12,930 show she said okay, impeachment will start tomorrow, bro. Right 2339 02:19:12,930 --> 02:19:15,300 go right to impeachment and let's get Trump because he 2340 02:19:15,480 --> 02:19:19,020 because he showed up at a meeting. Anything you could do 2341 02:19:19,020 --> 02:19:23,580 is was much dis comer guys useless. But let's go to clip 2342 02:19:23,580 --> 02:19:24,120 three. I 2343 02:19:24,120 --> 02:19:27,570 Unknown: also spoke with Congresswoman Nancy mace from 2344 02:19:27,570 --> 02:19:31,860 South Carolina, and she herself had very strong words to say to 2345 02:19:31,860 --> 02:19:35,820 her counterparts and Democrats line of argument that looks or 2346 02:19:35,850 --> 02:19:39,240 seeks to disqualify Alexandre Smirnoff and diamond.

They said that this witness was trustworthy and 2350 02:19:51,120 --> 02:19:54,990 credible. They paid this witness six figures so is the FBI that 2351 02:19:54,990 --> 02:19:58,410 incompetent does pay this guy hundreds of 1000s of dollars for 2352 02:19:58,410 --> 02:20:01,710 him not to be credible for him not To be trustworthy. Just a 2353 02:20:01,710 --> 02:20:05,790 few minutes ago I spoke also with Congressman Pat Phelan from 2354 02:20:05,790 --> 02:20:09,300 Texas Republican in the House Oversight Committee. He was 2355 02:20:09,300 --> 02:20:12,870 there in the deposition with Hunter Biden. He spent the 2356 02:20:12,870 --> 02:20:17,790 entire seven hours of deposition in the in the room with the rest 2357 02:20:17,790 --> 02:20:20,700 of the Oversight Committee and this is what Pat Fallon 2358 02:20:20,700 --> 02:20:22,710 congressman from Texas had to say. 2359 02:20:23,490 --> 02:20:27,420 He said Jim Biden gave his dad $200,000 as a loan repayment 2360 02:20:27,510 --> 02:20:30,660 okay, then why isn't your father simply produced the original 2361 02:20:30,720 --> 02:20:36,570 check or wire that he sent to his brother? Yes, go I don't 2362 02:20:36,570 --> 02:20:39,630 think it ever existed, but it's things like that. So I think the 2363 02:20:39,630 --> 02:20:42,540 natural progression will be a public hearing and then we'll go 2364 02:20:42,540 --> 02:20:44,790 from there. Boy, 2365 02:20:44,820 --> 02:20:47,700 John C Dvorak: they're gonna go nowhere.

I mean, this is this is 2371 02:21:06,210 --> 02:21:06,690 not a good 2372 02:21:06,690 --> 02:21:09,810 John C Dvorak: show. No, it's not working out.
