John C Dvorak: I'm digging the cow out of the canal.
Adam Curry: Adam curry Jhansi Devora June 20 2024 This Year
Award winning chemo nation media assassination episode 1670. This
is no agenda fake and cheap and broadcasting live from 11 feet
below sea level and simple Amsterdam in the lowlands in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry, and
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where you miss
the Federal holiday. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Greg Levin, Buzzkill. We had holiday. What
holiday is it a holiday today? No. Once the holiday yesterday
John C Dvorak: was a holiday it was federal holiday. What?
Adam Curry: Oh, god OH. Juneteenth Of course. How could
I miss the fact that
John C Dvorak: I would like to start to show us some
gaslighting clips.
Adam Curry: Some okay. Now, by the way, did you know because I,
I think you had part of it or have all of it in the
newsletter. I don't really remember because I couldn't.
When you sent it to me, there's no way I could I could get to
looking at it. Originally, Juneteenth was celebrated on
January 1. Did you know that? No, yeah. That's when the
John C Dvorak: what would it be called June? What makes it even
worse? Today, January 1, to make sense, obviously,
Adam Curry: I'm guessing it a bit a little bit. But black
Americans used to celebrate January 1, because 1863 is when
slavery ended. That's when the Emancipation Proclamation was
signed by President Abraham Lincoln. And then, of course,
this Texas thing in Galveston 80 to two years later, it makes no
sense because black Americans used to celebrate on January 1.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think that's what would lead right
into the Juneteenth clip that you'll like,
Adam Curry: okay. The Juneteenth BS clip. Is that it by any
chance?
Unknown: When I hear well, people explained Juneteenth, it
makes me wish that Rosa Parks personally forced you all to sit
in the front of a school bus and go to history class. Now walk
with me. Walk with me. The left has convinced you that
Juneteenth was the abolition of slavery when a black revolution
arose, but what it really proved is that some people remain
enslaved mentally. And that's all it takes to keep you on the
plantation. If you know the actual history, Democrats kept
black people enslaved for two and a half years after slavery
was abolished until white, mostly right wing men came on
June 19 1865, and said y'all have been free since 1863. Get
off the plantation and go get a job. I wish we could celebrate
what Juneteenth actually is. But instead, we continue to let the
left repackage segregation and sell it back to us. There is no
such thing as a black Independence Day, but if that's
what you want to call Juneteenth, then I don't want to
see all twerking on a bow on July 4.
Adam Curry: Well, there you go. That's, that's such a better way
to explain it. I hadn't even thought of it that way.
Democrats kept it quiet.
John C Dvorak: I like that. Which brings me to the more that
was gaslighting, which I discussed in the newsletter.
Yeah, I had a gas lighting promotion, which nobody bought
into so we had a very lousy us showing for the for the
donations but it brings me to John Pierre Van Damme.
Adam Curry: Oh, baby, I love I love this clip. I love this
whole topic.
John C Dvorak: Well, here we go like this starts. The first one
is John Pierre, deep fakes. This is her at a press at the press
conference. Oh,
Adam Curry: I thought you're gonna start with the okay. I
thought you're gonna start with a supercut
Unknown: of videos that have been edited to make the
president
appear especially frail or mentally confused. I'm wondering
if the White House is especially worried about the fact that this
appears to be
a pattern that we're seeing more. Yeah, we and I think you
all have called this the cheap fakes video. And that's exactly
what they are. They are cheap fakes video.
Adam Curry: I love this part, John, because this is the memo
they sent out earlier. Obviously,
Unknown: they're done in batch. And in some of your news
organization, have have been very clear have stressed that
these right wing critics of the President have a credibility
problem. Because of the fact checkers have repeatedly caught
them pushing misinformation disinformation. And so we see
this and this is something coming from from your your part
of the world calling them cheap fakes and misinformation. And
I'll quote The Washington Post where they wrote they wrote
about this and they said, how Republican use misleading videos
to attack Biden in a 24 hour period. And to their credit, we
have a conservative Washington Examiner did call them out as
well call me out the New York Post. Ironically, several
several recent fakes actually attacked the president for
thanking troops for thinking through so that is what they're
attacking President And for both enormity, this happen and again
in Italy. And I think that it tells you everything that we
need to know about how, how desperate, how desperate
Republicans are here. And instead of talking about the
President's performance in office, and what I mean by that
is his legislative wins what he's been able to do for the
American people across the country. We're seeing these deep
fakes these manipulated videos, and it is again, done in bad
faith
Adam Curry: fact check. False. God, I love this. I love I love
that you got the longer version of it because the was trending
online was like 47 seconds or so it wasn't really
John C Dvorak: Yeah, no, she goes on, and I have the
Adam Curry: other. We can play that later. I have the there
were three other questions that that were asked that no one has
really played.
John C Dvorak: We could play that play. There's this I'll
finish this with a capital war here is first of all, after she
did this, she went on Nicole wall Wallace, which is to clip J
OJJO, which is kind of what she was doing. Nicole Wallace and
she and she doubles down with the same and I liked the way she
she pushes the idea that the whole deep fake terminology was
not her idea. Oh, no, it was it was the media. They
Unknown: think there is so much misinformation disinformation,
as we've been talking about. You talked about the video the
president wandering and it's not true, right. The President
wasn't wandering a parish shooter that was right in front
of him. And what you saw is the Republican Party, really
manipulating what was being said and what was being seen by the
American people is also very insulting to the folks who are
the viewers who are watching it. And we believe we have to call
that out. We've been calling it that is something that came from
directly from the media outlets, calling it that the fact
checkers and calling it that
Adam Curry: yeah, I love that. The media, we didn't come up
with it. It was the media doesn't meet the fact checkers
came up with it. fact checkers whose job is to check facts came
up with the whole term.
John C Dvorak: And so that last clip was just a supercut. And
then you can play that other one is the is just the word went
out. And so this is all clips from MSNBC and CNN various
stages, including people that I thought were off the air like
Stelter was still going on and on making it up as they go
along, as if Joe Biden wasn't staggering around cheap fakes,
videos of relevance that are intentionally manipulated
Korean, John
Unknown: Pierre and others are calling these cheap fakes. But
what it is, is truly deceitful behavior,
what the White House is calling cheap fakes,
who are hearing about so called cheap fakes. It's playing out on
right wing media, these videos. I mean, they're blatant lies.
These are cheap fakes with a White House and Biden, people
call them cheap.
fakes are a little bit simpler. They're cheap. They're just
distorted out of context videos chopped up in certain ways
constructed in certain ways. That's what we're seeing. We've
seen all of the cheap fakes Joe Biden's suggesting that he's out
of it.
Adam Curry: So yeah, I did hear Stelter, what's he even doing
there? Is did he call in as a guest?
John C Dvorak: He was in he was on the table as a guest on
Adam Curry: the table as a guest.
John C Dvorak: Well on the table,
Adam Curry: well, I gotta, I gotta hand it to whoever came up
with this because they knew that they couldn't use deep fake
because, obviously, it's not AI but they want to allude to that
allude to the deep fake. And then they throw in the cheap
fake, I think it was a it was a good term. Of course, they
passed out the memo to their as you pointed out, their stooges.
And they also they kind of took our wind away from us. If we go
back to January 28 of this year, no agenda episode 1629. What are
we talking about them? I think when it comes to AI, we had an
event take place, something is on the horizon. I have said that
this AI stuff. The way it's going to be used is something's
gonna come out. And we need to flood the market with thinking
like, oh, that's just AI guy. No, that's not real. That's just
AI, and this is part of the Swift up.
Unknown: Now a disturbing trend on social media struck one of
the world's biggest stars this week, when explicit AI generated
images of Taylor Swift began to circulate on x. Now,
Adam Curry: Elon Musk is great at making money from the
government. So I wouldn't put it past him somehow he's involved
in this
John C Dvorak: up this is nothing new. This is nothing new
at all. No, but
Adam Curry: what I think is happening and I have a piece of
John Claude Van Damme here with the question that was asked
about this all White House is concerned. Why is the White
House concerned? Something's coming out. Listen to the Setup
question. Listen to her answer it
Unknown: there were being sexually explicit images of
Taylor Swift all over social media this week like, narrated
by AI. Concern, is the White House about the misuse of this
kind of technology. And does the White House want to see Congress
moving forward legislation that would make sharing posting
images like that?
So I'm glad you asked that question, because it is.
Adam Curry: First of all, all these questions are approved
before the press conference. So for jump here about Claude Van
Damme to say, I'm glad you asked that question. This was a setup
question.
Unknown: We are alarmed by the reports of the circulation of
images that you just laid out a false images to be more exact,
and it is alarming. So while social media is alarming, their
own independent decisions about content management, we believe
they have an important role to play in enforcing enforcing
their own rules to prevent the spread of misinformation.
Adam Curry: So we don't get the full two points. And then we get
1.1 point for the setup. It just was it just wasn't a diff. It
was close enough. Close enough. And there we go. Now that deep
fakes are firmly embedded in everybody's mind, they use a
different term, the cheap fake. Although we all saw we all saw
what really happened before I get
John C Dvorak: to it, and they show and there's an extended
version of those clips, all unedited. There's no edits at
all, by enrollment around daggering.
Adam Curry: Don't believe your lying eyes is what they're
saying. You're not seeing that. No, no, no, no, you're seeing
something wrong. That's just your bias. CBS also jumped in. I
mean, I do have a couple of short ones here from CBS. So it
wasn't just the cable companies you've
Unknown: probably heard of deep fakes. But just last week as
President Biden was at the g7 summit in Italy, cheap fake
clips went viral on social media and were picked up by some news
outlets.
Adam Curry: Just don't you think that this new term, they just
roll it out? Like everybody knows what it is? It's just
like, no
John C Dvorak: one's believable that CBS could have eluded me.
But that's that's more ridiculous in the MSNBC CNN
clips because they say it as a matter of
Unknown: fact, take a look at this clip. For example, it shows
Biden and other world leaders watching a skydiving
demonstration. Before the President is seen walking away
and looking in another direction walking away outlets, claimed
that he was sort of just aimlessly wandering away. The
clip amassed millions of views within just a few hours, when
actually he if you widen out, you can see that he was talking
to one of the members of the military that was participating
in that demo. How prevalent are cheap fakes and how big of a
problem will really be in this election? WILDerland. Let's take
a look with executive editor of CBS News confirmed Rona Tarrant
who joins us now from 57 to explain Hi, Ron. It's great to
see you so
Adam Curry: high. So they're bringing the executive editor
John, this is not just some slouch. This is not some pundit.
John C Dvorak: Oh, they're freaked out. This is guy now
that you did did this makes it obvious that they're freaked out
about this? And they're due and they're bringing in the big guns
and you're doing everything they can do gaslight which is the
theme here is gaslight, the public and use this term cheap.
There's no fakery involved. He turned around started wandering
off. What's the fake part?
Adam Curry: Well, first of all, let's go to this term. I mean,
this cheap fakes you and I would dummies, it's been around man,
tell us how long
Unknown: cheap fakes have been around. I'm assuming they've
been around since the beginning of the media, because you know,
anybody?
Adam Curry: Yeah, pretty much every night on the news lady
Unknown: can take an image and manipulate it to make it look
like it's just something that didn't
happen. That's exactly it. It really is a case of all
Adam Curry: Oh, no, listen to that. Another Brit running our
news go figure
Unknown: meets new technology. So as you said, cheap, fake
videos, not videos that are edited in a really simple way.
Those have been around as long as political videos have
existed. So there's a few ways for example that people might be
familiar with. One is there might be a long video and you
might take a very short clip and you take our key context.
Another is maybe you slow something down and it makes it
sound like someone was slurring their words.
Adam Curry: That was when Pelosi was actually drunk, but no, it
was slow down, okay?
Unknown: Or another as you might supply several pieces together
and it makes it sound like someone said something that they
didn't. This is literally
Adam Curry: describing every Joe Biden video that's out there
when he's literally describing
John C Dvorak: what CBS News has been doing for years.
Unknown: What's different in this election and the last two
weeks elections in the presidential elections is,
number one, everyone has access to mobile phones where they can
edit. And number two, most people have social media
accounts where they can publish this stuff. So
John C Dvorak: what was the Okay, let's start stop it. Does
she explain what exactly the Edit was? When Joe Biden turned
around and started walking toward the right in the wrong
direction toward this other paratrooper that was over there,
we all saw what it was a guy was packing his bags, they started
talking to him, the guy was trying to get out of there. And
meanwhile, the action was in the front, where were they? Where
the cameras were? Yeah. And Maloney had to go over there and
grab him and say, Hey, over here, no. So everyone came
Adam Curry: around, and then came behind him looking in the
other direction. So it he would turn around, if you remember
correctly. So they were all looking in the right direction.
They just they went over there or
John C Dvorak: came around again, from doing it again.
Yeah, where was the edit?
Adam Curry: Was deceptively edited
Unknown: social media accounts where they can publish this
stuff. So it's worth saying these are not anything new, you
know, when Trump was president, these targeted him as well. But
what we are seeing in the last few weeks is really the steady
stream of videos that are targeting President Biden and in
particular, taking aim at his age. Ah, that's
Adam Curry: it, they're taking aim at his age, because you
can't do that with Trump for some reason. That's weird. Okay,
so what is the impact? I mean, this has got to be very
impactful. This can sway voters, is
Unknown: there any way to measure the impact that these
videos could have on the 2024? Election? Yeah,
Adam Curry: just look at the download numbers, like
podcasting. It's so accurate in comparison
Unknown: to other forms of misinformation. You know, that's
a really great, great question.
Adam Curry: You want to respond,
John C Dvorak: man, is that even remotely a great question. And
by the way, it's just like, This is so misleading. It's shameful,
Adam Curry: is it? That's what makes it so groovy, though, for
this something I really liked it for us for us. Is this doc.
Thank you. Thank you, CBS.
Unknown: No, that's a really great, great question. I think,
you know, in terms of what our team has been tracking, we have
seen these so called cheap fake videos, they are targeting Biden
and they are targeting Trump. However, we have seen
particularly in the last few months, the videos targeting
Biden are getting a lot more traction online. And in
particular, the ones that target Biden's age. So for example,
like you had said, claiming that he is wandering off and really
was having a conversation with somebody these days
John C Dvorak: having a conversation.
Adam Curry: Yes, you have something to say.
John C Dvorak: I'm just it just annoys me because we've all seen
this video. And we've seen the extended version of it, because
it's posted and you can see the whole thing, and he's just turns
around starts wandering off, and yakking about something the
guy's trying to pack his parachute. He's not paying any
attention to Biden, there's no conversation involved.
Unknown: These videos are effective, because they are
they're called to fix for a reason. They are quick. They're
easy to publish. And oftentimes they have big impact on people
who are just scrolling through their phones, they watch it for
five seconds, and they move on. Oh, like Democrat voters. Also,
what's interesting about this is we've heard a lot about the fear
of deep fakes in this election. And we've seen the deep fakes
haven't really shown up in the way that maybe people were
worried about them showing up. But these videos that are edited
in a really basic way with technology that's been around
for a long time, are effective, effective to the extent that the
White House is addressing them.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Okay. There it is, by the way,
John C Dvorak: that's an Irish accent. Thank you. Yeah,
Adam Curry: you're right. You're right.
John C Dvorak: And there was one in the last show, too, that you
said was British and she was Irish, or he was Irish. Sorry.
Adam Curry: I apologize.
John C Dvorak: I've noticed that the Irish are moving in. Well,
besides they're very, they all hate Trump and they all love
Biden.
Adam Curry: Oh, interesting. Huh? Okay. Last one last
observation. Yeah, no, it's good. One. Last one is B hopes,
because they know their viewers so well. They know their
viewers. Here's a question that is important and pertinent.
Unknown: How can voters best discern between videos that are
real, and videos that are not? So
social media platforms, sometimes they will attach fat
checks to these videos. So sometimes on X, you might see
community notes or on Facebook, you might see fat checks.
However, the reality is for the vast majority of them, they're
not going to have anything attached. So unfortunately, it
really is on the viewer. Number one piece of advice I would have
is always check your sources. So if you see something on an
account, is this a partisan account? Is it pushing for a
particular candidate? And does it have a history of posting
misinformation? And the second thing, which I think is really
important is always seek another source. So don't just take it
from one account, make sure that you get a second source or even
a third source, and most importantly, make sure that's a
credible source.
And CBS confirmed is one of the most credible Rona, Karen, thank
you so much for breaking it down with us. I appreciate it. See
Adam Curry: vs confirmed John just in case you didn't know,
CBS confirmed as one of the most credible ever, ever, ever, ever
very credible.
John C Dvorak: Wow. So that took a lot of guts. Oh, they've
shameless.
Adam Curry: So, but there were three other questions in this
press conference it got no play even. Everyone's just showing
the the Biden video where he's, you know, wandering off and
looking at some other dude pack in his chute. But there were
three other instances that were obvious that also did get some
virality. And these were asked of jurien jurien.
John C Dvorak: Jury, that's a new name name is Yuri.
Unknown: two instances in recent days were leaders from President
Obama and George Maloney early, they physically put hands on the
President to guide him and show him. How
Adam Curry: did you see this one where, where he was on stage
with Obama and Jimmy Kimmel,
John C Dvorak: believe me. We were You were gone. I saw that
one was a hot hot one, because it was like he was staggering
off the stage.
Adam Curry: Obama grabbed him by the wrist. You know, it's like
what somebody
John C Dvorak: pointed this out on one of the one of the hater
shows that people in dementia get startled. When they do
they'll freeze, touch him grab, grab their hand, or the rest of
them and they jump kind of jump because it's like that they're
snapped out of it. And that's exactly what happens. Obama
grabs his wrist and and Biden snaps out of it looks over at
him. And then he was walking slowly off the stage, carefully
off the stage, because he's looks like he's gonna keel over.
Adam Curry: I think it's probably time to reinstate the
term elder abuse. We haven't talked about it
John C Dvorak: for now, the theme, by the way that I've
noticed on the right wing shows, every one of the shows has been
bringing up elder abuse. Really?
Adam Curry: I see I haven't seen or heard anything. I just, it's
a natural occurrence that interesting. Well, it's
John C Dvorak: because we brought it up, you brought it
up, not yours. To me, I have not brought it up. The President in
the United States is not subject to elder abuse. He's a
president. And so criticism is what I would call it. So
Adam Curry: does that go for podcasters? Like when we're old
and demented, then it's not really elder abuse. If the if
we're getting dragged on social media,
John C Dvorak: we get blasted anyway. Okay.
Adam Curry: Let me continue here with the Yes. Was your reading
stage directions? Are they doing that on
Unknown: their own? Or Is anybody asked them to
look on the show? When we spoke to the most recent, right,
right, and as we saw on Saturday, the President Obama,
President Obama's office put out a statement. So I would refer
you to that statement about what was being accused in those by
others. And he said this did not happen in the sense of what
people were saying, saying they were seeing right, or what was
being falsely reported. That they were saying, let's not
forget President Obama, President Biden have a
relationship. They are friends. They're like family to each
other. And I think that's what you saw.
Adam Curry: That's funny, to like family to each other. No, I
think I think Obama has been pretty clear he hates Biden. I
think that's that's universally understood. Everyone knows that.
Unknown: You saw the President put his hand behind the on the
back of President Biden. And, and they walked off the stage
after after taking questions, or at an event taking questions
from Jimmy Kimmel. That is that is what you saw. No,
Adam Curry: no, I'm pretty sure I saw a President Obama grabbed
President Biden's wrist who was just standing there not taking
questions from Jimmy Kimmel who's staring into the lights.
Unknown: But I will refer you to the President Obama's office
statement. They talked about this. They discussed this and
they came out with it pretty, pretty quickly. All right.
Maloney.
Adam Curry: I Maloney How about Maloney
Unknown: don't have anything. I don't know specifically what
happened with Maloney.
Adam Curry: But wondering the parachutes. Oh, I mean, of
course I know Maloney. Oh, that one? Oh, yeah. Just so many of
them to keep track of
Unknown: that was as I said, it was a cheap, you know, cheap
fake.
Adam Curry: That was it was a keep Jake definitely
Unknown: cheaper. It was widely fact checked widely. But that
video was widely factcheck, including by conservative media,
on what had what happened that what occurred, the President
walked over to give a thumbs up to divers who had just landed
right in front of him. And if you run that tape a little bit
longer, you would see, you would see what was happening, what the
President was actually doing. And it is a cheap fake. That is
what nothing and he's totally normal. What I'm saying is,
Adam Curry: I don't know who asked that, but I like it. So
you're telling me Totally normal. You can't really answer
the question nothing and he's totally normal.
Unknown: What I'm saying is this is a president. See,
Adam Curry: she can't say no, it's totally normal. Listen to
this bit.
Unknown: Let's step back for a second. Yeah. And I said this
moments ago instead of Republicans, you know, focusing
on the President's performance in office and what he's been
able to accomplish his actual record, they do these cheap
fakes. They're cheap fakes. And you're asking me about the money
or
Adam Curry: listen how she's banging the desk to I mean, she
bangs that desk like
John C Dvorak: nobody does. She Bangs the desk when she's trying
to get appointed about Zama does she say the Maloney? You turn
the Brody or
Adam Curry: Maloney. I'm doing a Maloney baby
Unknown: in office and what he's been able to accomplish his
actual record. They do these cheap things. They're cheap
fakes. And you're asking me about the Maloney. You're asking
me what happened that video?
Adam Curry: It's a new dance craze, John on Tik Tok. It's
Unknown: the Maloney the Maloney. Video, man,
this is this. Thank
Adam Curry: you. urien I love you. You watch. The real reason
is is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Unknown: That video. That video was, okay, let's talk about you
Adam Curry: know, the Juneteenth one is the best, because this is
where everyone's dancing and grooving. And Biden just
standing there like lunch or whatever he was thinking. Know
what he was thinking. It was it was sad, or it was almost over.
Listen.
Unknown: The President stood there listening to the music,
and he didn't dance. Excuse me. I did not know not dancing was a
mental wasn't it was a health issue.
Adam Curry: Oops. jurien, could you come into my office for a
moment? Yeah, we're trying to focus on the President's age
with these cheap fakes, not his mental health. So could you
ixnay on the mental may melt a
Unknown: into the music. And he didn't dance. Excuse me. I did
not know not dancing was a mental was um, it was a health
issue. That is a weird thing to actually.
Adam Curry: And then she was she then goes on to say health
issue. There was supposed to be an age issue. She's dying on the
podium here. She's dying.
John C Dvorak: I thought I heard all this, too. I didn't clip it.
But now that you mentioned that I didn't catch that right away.
That's that's quite revealing. Excuse
Unknown: me. I did not know not dancing was a mental was. It was
a health issue. That is a weird thing to actually flag when if
you if you look at the people who around him if you look at
the expanded video of the people who around him, they were not.
They weren't there were some folks who were not dancing
either. And that has been fact checked. I mean, just because
you're standing up listening to music and not dancing. That is
not a health issue. No, it's supposed to be age.
John C Dvorak: Did you? Did you watch the real extended clip
where that where they're all seated first and then they're
clapping and he was clapping like well, I don't know what to
say. But like a white man off on the one lap and pretty much with
the beat. And he's just kind of randomly clapping. Did you see
this? Yes,
Adam Curry: I have seen it. It hurt me. He's very, very pain
ready, but fatik When someone claps on the one and in the
three instead of the two in the four it's a real problem. It's
yeah, no, that's that's beyond white. Yeah. And but the funny
thing is that this is literally emperor has no clothes. That's
what this is. And for those of you who don't know the story,
because they don't teach it in school anymore, look it up. The
emperor has no clothes. He's naked. No, he's not. He's got
beautiful, beautiful clothes on. It's not meant to I mean,
health, old. No, it's nothing. Nothing wrong. Well,
John C Dvorak: gaslighting Yes, whatever. The The emperor has no
clothes stores gaslights. Right? It
Adam Curry: is classic gaslighting classic. It's just
it's like, wow, okay. I mean, how do you go to bed at night?
And say, do you go like, Yeah, I told them they believe it.
Seriously? Is that Is that how that goes down? Do you think
when when jurien goes there?
John C Dvorak: I think they're irked. Like you have to have
your Shareen or whatever her name is that we're now calling
her? Yes. Well, I don't think she's got the the brainpower to
be honest about it. But I would say just the whole group around
buying they have to be just worked with themselves and with
the situation because they know they think Biden could do a
better job of hanging in there. I don't know. It's hard to say I
think they're concerned but I don't know if they lose sleep.
Over it
Adam Curry: then they might with this level of gaslighting they
must have a plan B. I mean, you wrote about it in the
newsletter. I guess the Plan B is we do a switcheroo. What I've
heard was Did you write that that Hillary could come in?
Hillary Clinton comes
John C Dvorak: in replaces Camela newsletter for people who
took their got rid of their subscription is very elaborate.
Yes. Hillary takes over from camera like camera has some sort
of a health issue. Something happens. Yeah. And Hillary is
brought in at the last minute because people say well, it does
a number of things. One thing it brings the women, Hillary flip
fans back into revenge revenge
Adam Curry: for a week. Duck Duck. She's swooping around
again.
John C Dvorak: So it brings her back into the fold brings women
back in the fold puts Hillary and Hillary's like two years
younger than I think she's already she's one year younger
than Trump. And so if Biden is something happens, he has to
quit or he's 20 sheet by the way, one thing about Hillary for
sure. She'd 25th amendment him. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. Oh, in a
John C Dvorak: heartbeat. No hesitation in a heartbeat.
Sorry, Joe.
Adam Curry: You gotta go. Yeah, exactly. So
John C Dvorak: he won't he wouldn't serve out his term and
Hillary would take over because the Democrats don't want Kamla
Harris to be the first female president. Now
Adam Curry: what are what can we do with Kamala? What do we do
about Kamla? I mean, you say some kind of health issue. I
think it's a little too easy. Well,
John C Dvorak: this is this. I did not answer the question
fully in the newsletter because I don't know either. Now. Now,
there are some rumors she wants to run for California governor.
And I think Gavin Newsom term will be up did course her chance
of winning. This is a one opportunity for the Republicans
to get somebody and nobody in California likes her, even
though they liked it or Attorney General, but it was kind of like
just everyone's a Democrat gets in, and maybe the machine
Adam Curry: governor, but she's campaigning. So you know, there
has to be a reason that she stops campaigning. You know,
she's, well,
John C Dvorak: we go we have the we put its alert, it's an alert
for us and alert, keep an eye on her good. Let me was on Sherry,
that miserable show that used to be Wendy Williams got taken, Oh,
she got ousted in for some health reason. And this woman
Sherry took over her show and they fired all day, every day,
the whole staff always changed. And Sherry's
Adam Curry: unfortunately, unfortunately, I think the only
way to really make it happen for her to save face for her then to
you know, to phase out is I think the I think her husband
has to go so she can go into bereavement. The guys
Expendables be honest. Yeah, I agree. I mean, if we're just
thinking like these people do, like, before
John C Dvorak: they get like, these people, these people,
these people think this way, but they have to kill the guy. They
also just making these No, no, no, she
Adam Curry: needs to help him. You know, she needs to be with
her man. Doug. I mean, his face name like Doug. I mean, no
offense to dogs. But it's kind of like a dog. Poor dog. Don't
you just see that cartoon character dog when you think
dog?
John C Dvorak: I think that voice that you used to have a
dog that used to be on the street as a dog on the news
reader. That's what I think of.
Adam Curry: So in an odd way, I think I can connect these next
two clips. First of all. So all I'm sure I know. You've seen it.
But the news here is extinction rebellion. First they paint
Stonehenge orange. Yeah, they did, like, wow. And then a
John C Dvorak: lot of respect for the environment. Well,
Adam Curry: you know, that they they removed all those stones
back in the 70s. You know, that they moved all that stuff out of
the way. And they completely reset them.
John C Dvorak: What year was that?
Adam Curry: I think it was the 70s.
John C Dvorak: Well, I visited Stonehenge first time in 1973. I
was there that's when you know, probably that's when they were
cows in the field. There was nobody around you go see on the
stone. Yeah. And it was like, Oh, that's cute. Then they turn
it then the next time I went which was like 20 years later
was like holy Mack was all fenced off. There's a big
parking lot people are standing around looking at it. Oh,
Adam Curry: if you look at I've never actually looked this up
but I have seen the pictures. Apparently was moved. Oh 1919 58
Oh, no. And I said that's not moved about factcheck falls.
Here, though the stones were moved. Taken from Wales. From
where else so they're in a whole different spot on I don't know
about that. I've seen I've seen pictures where they're they're
you know, they have cranes I thought that they would just
fortifying them and and not not a huge deal. I mean, it seems
kind of weird but anyway, then they supposedly spray paint
Taylor Swift jet which I can't confirm that's her Did they I
think they spray painted two or three. And they
John C Dvorak: well they showed the video and BBC had a video of
this woman first of all she on the fire extent high pressure
fire extinguisher fill with orange paint. And she painted
this. She did two jets. She ran from one to the other. It took
her about, I'd say five to 10 seconds in time to paint the
entire side of the jet with this fire extinguisher. I mean it
just spraying it out like there's no tomorrow. And then
that was it. It was a very short clip somebody who I guess one of
their her cohorts made the movie. Yeah. The video, but it
was pretty amazing. It was pretty, pretty, pretty easy. It
was impressive.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Let me tell you, if that happens to your
playing, you're grounded. You're not taken off. The paint is very
important on aircraft. Can't just you can't just spray paint
and say, Oh, I'm good to go. They have to they have to. That
has to be worked. But it didn't that I don't know if it's her
jet. I don't know. I think she does know, we know she owns one
because she leases it out. But I didn't see anything that looked
like a intercontinental jet. So I'm not sure if you know some
sap, you know, some sap with a Jif G five. Okay, some sap gets
his airplane spray painted because Taylor Swift is over in
Europe. Kind of sucks. But an old favorite came back in the
news here, because she's now on tour. So it's part promotion,
but I've never heard them go so in depth into this particular
phenomenon, which is the transient mind you transient
global amnesia of Taylor Swift. Do you remember we talked about
this month and maybe a year ago,
John C Dvorak: I forgot.
Unknown: Now imagine paying hundreds of euros to see your
favorite artist good line, by the way in concert, only to get
home and realize you can't actually remember their
performance. It might sound crazy, or at least quite
unusual. But since the start of Taylor Swift's talk that is
precisely what some fans say has been happening to them is a
phenomenon called transient global amnesia. And tell us a
bit about it. Our science editor Julia sigue is with me in the
studio Julia festival. What are we talking about here?
Hi, Nadia. So indeed, it did happen to French fans, but also
fans in the in the United States and tickets there are 1000s of
euros. But they're called Swift. He's right there, the Taylor
Swift Fans, and they all reported not being some of them
reported not being able to recall Taylor Swift performance
during the heiress tour. Now some don't remember the color of
her outfits or choreographies. But for others, it's a total
blackout. They don't remember some entire portions of her
show, but they always vividly remember whatever happened
before the show, or after the show. Now, the phenomenon was so
widespread that a psychiatrist from New Jersey decided to
investigate these fan testimonies. And she even
published a research paper and she believes it is the syndrome
called transient global amnesia, which is characterized by a
temporary loss of memory. So it's actually due to an overload
of excitement and stress. So it overwhelms the brain, which
makes it unable to encode memories, if you will. So are
our memories extremely sensitive to stress, let it be positive
emotions, but also negative emotions. If you're overwhelmed
by negative emotions, you're more inclined to develop Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder. But if you're overwhelmed by
positive emotions, then you you're more inclined to develop
somewhat of an this amnesia. So
Adam Curry: our old friend the amygdala is busy involved in
John C Dvorak: a second. Isn't this the same phenomenon that
critics would say it was a it was a forgettable performance?
Adam Curry: Yeah, how I like it. The no agenda take is always
just a little different, everybody. Now
Unknown: it's very similar to what you may feel, the sensation
that you have when you're having a lot of fun that time is flying
by. That's exactly what the phenomenon is all about. Now,
it's related more specifically to an overreaction of the
amygdala in the brain. So when your body faces stress, what it
does is your liver releases glucose into the bloodstream and
into the muscles, the muscles then send a signal to the brain.
And the amygdala is then going to release a neurotransmitter
called neuro adrenaline. If it if Adrenochrome baby, there's
just a little bit of it, it helps encode the memories, but
if there's too much, it's counterproductive. And you
suffer a memory loss.
This is such an interesting story. And look, is this only
happening to Taylor Swift Fan? Yeah,
Adam Curry: this is the important thing because I mean,
I've been to a lot of concerts of I have been to some sports
ball events I've been I've been around now tell me if you've
ever had any of this happened during any of these other places
where it apparently just can happen
Unknown: to Taylor Swift Fan no it can actually happen for other
events sports events if you're you know, you're a sports fan
you can actually you're so overwhelmed by someone's victory
for instance, it can happen during a wedding a graduation
ceremony. Well,
Adam Curry: no, no, all I remember from weddings is this
thing over.
John C Dvorak: No, not none of this. I've, I've been to a lot
of things to Jimi Hendrix six times. Oh, I've been seeing Dr.
Bento games where there's a clinch a clinching game, the
warriors, for example. So I've been to the World Series with
the a's and the Giants. I've seen a lot of these high end
events. I've gotten. I went to a Super Bowl. I remember all of
these things. I
Adam Curry: have known you for 17 years almost. Well, I've
known you for longer, but we've been doing the show for 17
years. I can't I can't recall it might be transient global
amnesia. But I cannot recall you ever telling me that you went to
see Jimi Hendrix six times?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I have said it a couple of times. Wow. I saw
Jimi Hendrix six times I can't even name the fact I've
remembered so well, I can tell you every venue. The last time I
saw him was at the Berkeley community theater where he
unrolled his national anthem, with uh, with with speakers all
across the stage. And he had his various you know, he invented
the Wawa pedal supposedly, and he had to see stomped on some
pedal and his sound would go rap rap rap back and forth across a
very large stage. And he was just a terrific performer.
Adam Curry: Are You Experienced? So
John C Dvorak: I, the one of the times, I saw Jimi Hendrix, he
was so drunk that I actually left I was dating somebody and
we it was so bad that I left I actually walked out of a Jimi
Hendrix concert did
Adam Curry: you leave your date behind?
John C Dvorak: No, she came with me.
Adam Curry: Wow, things to do. This is a I'm always happy to
hear something I didn't know about you guys continue.
Unknown: Whenever there's too much anticipation, excitement,
pressure, emotion, you can go through that amnesia now more
specifically, we're seeing it with concerts. Why? Because
they've changed so much in the last few years. As you can see
here, you have strobe lights, every two seconds there's a
surprise and explosion a you know even a costume changes and
it's perhaps almost too much for our brains. Yes, very similar to
what we see with young kids when they're watching video games or
cartoons and it's going too fast. Well, that's when the
attention actually goes down and you can't encode the memory
anymore.
Adam Curry: This is the true swift up there mind controlling
your children. There's messages flashing everywhere. Their
amygdala freaks out, they can't remember anything and meanwhile,
vote Democrat or something like that. Something's going on.
Something like that. Democrat and we need boots on the ground.
Where am I? Where am I Swifties at? I need to know what is
flashing everywhere. What are the what is the messaging?
Vaccines are good. We need to know what is being done there
besides the witch because there is that whole witchcraft thing.
You notice the kids don't come off or the out of the stadium
going wow, the witchcraft stuff was great. deeply embedded myths
concerning very concerning. I just read the Donald Sutherland
passed away. Oh, he did. Yeah. Now, today,
John C Dvorak: it's enjoyable actor.
Adam Curry: Yes. Happy Eid. Everybody. Do I pronounce it
Eid? Eid.
John C Dvorak: I think it's pronounced Eid bits. Big
Adam Curry: deal over here in Muslim Holland Eid.
John C Dvorak: Every night he used to get a donation from here
on Amazon.
Adam Curry: Or maybe he's just like this. All right. But happy
eats are on a must have Dogpatch in lower Slavia and all of our
other Muslim friends. So the big the big thing here is the
inhumane butchering of the lambs and the goats and heavies. They
have the man on the street, they go up to these butcheries and
there's a whole bunch of dudes hanging around with beards. And
then one guy comes out he's got all blood splatters over his
face. It's great. Hey, the Jews do that too. On their own
special day. We do it on our day. We just do it differently.
Meanwhile, there's not one swarm of places open to get us warmer
because everybody's celebrating Eid. And which was kind of I
think
John C Dvorak: you can put it off.
Adam Curry: Put what off? Getting
John C Dvorak: a swarm. Now
Adam Curry: the whole this this this thing goes on forever. And
that's Stop and with the celebration I was gonna get a
swarm I was taxi Eric You remember taxi Eric Right? Oh
John C Dvorak: yeah he almost got me killed yeah that's what I
keep telling
Adam Curry: John all John remembers about us You almost
killed him so he drove me to Christina Christina's house and
we're driving through the city and you know if you really want
to know what's going on with the temperature of the nation you
got to talk to the guys on the street the cab drivers they know
what's happening and he and he'll be looking at another
Range Rover Ukrainian looking at Bentley Ukrainian came through.
It's true that there's high end high end vehicles all with
Ukrainian license plates and people are mad now. Like Ben
Yeah, well
John C Dvorak: there's all those cars are bought by him with
American taxpayer money. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: don't know about that. But I could be but what
they're mad about is that you know, they're getting free
housing they're getting a stipend every single day. Do
whatever they want to do and they've got the Range Rover and
the parking on the on the sidewalk. Don't even get a
ticket. It's it's, it's people. There's no let me put it this
way. No Ukrainian flags flying around everywhere. You know, in
Europe is so concerned with Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine,
everyone's like crazy. Everyone's like, get rid of this
stuff. We don't like it. Yeah. Yeah. No bet. It's just a
general feeling everywhere. Everybody is so sick and tired.
We'll get
John C Dvorak: fed up. But what do they do about it? Nothing.
Well, that's part
Adam Curry: of why they voted for hate builders, of course.
Because now they're like, well, I'll vote for that guy. He'll
fix
John C Dvorak: it. He'll fixes anything. That's
Adam Curry: the point. The big story here is Margarita. He's
the about him. Well, He is the former Dutch Prime Minister, the
guy who got to your buddy No, I don't know him. I know you met
him. Now. I know the climate Pope Timmermans and the other
guy Balkan out. He's the guy before Margarita, the guy with a
little with a little, you know, student glasses. Now so drifta
is the is the the Nimrod the what do you call? The Knud?
Nick, he's the Nadine and Nick, Nick. Nick, Nick, who's been
Prime Minister for eight years, you know, used to be in HR at
mostly like Unilever I think he was literally an HR lady at
Unilever. And then all sudden he was Prime Minister. Okay, sure.
And you know, he's no one no one really liked him at all. Very,
very just wishy washy. He's just a nothing burger has said that.
But he is he said it. I know. He's just a wishy washy, dude.
So now that Victor milquetoast is Oh, there you go. So he wrote
a letter to Viktor Orban because he's just wait, he's been
waiting in the wings to replace Ian Stoltenberg the the NATO
guy, or as they say, the Navo guy. And if one country one of
the European Union member states says Now I don't want him to be
that, or one of them and one of the NATO members I'm sorry. If
they say no, we don't want that guy then you know, it's off the
table until everybody agrees. And Ruth wrote a personal letter
to Viktor Orban and said, Okay, that was your agreement because
you remember he he buckled on the Ukraine money. He said, as
per your agreement, I guarantee you here in writing the letters
published everywhere was guaranteed in writing that you
you hungry will not have to put in any people or money for
Ukraine. And so I said, Okay, are you good to go then? As long
as my people aren't gonna have to go fight your stupid war and
you can't take our money. So now all that's left is Romania. I
think it's Romania Romania in NATO. It had to look I think so.
Yeah, I think it's partly our probably our So what So and that
kind of just shows you I think everyone here knows like, that
guy is going to be in charge of NATO. Well, that must be a scam.
Because that guy's nude Nick. I gotta teach the ducks that word.
He's a nude Nick.
John C Dvorak: It's a good term.
Adam Curry: So let's go to Richard angle to get the true
the True Lies because of course spook. Let's find out about the
latest in the Ukraine aid. How's that working out for everybody?
You know, we sent some more money over 65 billion then we
took 50 billion from the Russians and or we lent it with
the Russian the Russian money as our security deposit. And let's
see how that's working out.
Unknown: Jackson. Thank you. So night Russian President Putin is
set to visit North Korea meet Kim Jong Un's growing support
for Russia. his war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian commanders
hope American aid will push back Russia's momentum. Richard Engel
is there we have to warn you some images in this report are
disturbing,
John C Dvorak: though no.
Unknown: Abrams talks today defend Ukraine's eastern front
line near the Russian border. resupplies of American weapons
are flowing again. And Ukrainian troops tell us they're arriving
just in the nick of time. resupplies of American weapons,
including these tanks are now finally after long delays making
their way to the frontlines, and it's making a difference.
Ukrainian troops have already been able to slow down a major
Russian offensive. Ukraine is flush at the moment $60 billion
in aid from Congress 50 billion more from interest on frozen
Russian funds and did a conference on peace in
Switzerland over the weekend, the United States was among 80
nations, pledging support for Ukraine's territorial integrity.
But a tank commander here tells us he's worried about pressure
on Ukraine to make a deal with Russia.
Everyone in the West should understand that once we see more
territory to Russia, it won't stop.
Adam Curry: I love peace, the peace conference, that's the one
thing no one ever talks about. Over here. It's never about
peace. Now. It's just like more weapons. More weapons got to
stop. Russia Can't we can have peace negotiations, we can talk
about peace. It's not profitable.
Unknown: And Ukrainians have a more immediate problem. A
Russian technological innovation, so called Glide
bombs. This shopping center was hit by just two
Adam Curry: eyeballs. Yeah, yeah, you identified those
firsts
Unknown: and the impact was devastating. Russia has vast
quantities of old fashioned style bombs, and by attaching
wings and a basic guidance system to them. Russia has not
only managed to extend their range, but turn them into
precision weapons that Ukraine has been struggling to deal
with. Surveillance video captured the moment of the
attack. Officials say 19 Ukrainians were killed,
including two children. President Solinsky says Russia
is now firing 3000 glide bombs among commanders tell us fire
they don't have an effective way to stop them. seeking more
weapons for his war here in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin tomorrow
travels to North Korea, which US officials say has been providing
Russia with large quantities of artillery shells.
Adam Curry: That's the thing that um you don't
John C Dvorak: fire him you drop them? Yes.
Adam Curry: I'm skeptical about this North Korea supplying their
their shells. Does that make it does that sound right to you?
No,
John C Dvorak: it doesn't sound right to me, but they could be
as part of I don't know what I have the clip on North Korea,
Putin North Korea clip Putin in North Korea and TD 134 clip is
maybe shed some light
Unknown: as Russian President Vladimir Putin is wrapping up
his trip to North Korea meeting with Kim Jong Hoon. They're
pledging to strengthen their ties. They've signed a new
security agreement promising to help each other if either is
attacked.
The leaders of Russia and North Korea have signed a new security
agreement promising to come to each other's aid if they are
ever attacked. Now the details of this agreement are still
unclear. They're calling it a comprehensive strategic
partnership agreement. They said they're aiming to strengthen
their military and economic cooperation. This comes amid
Western sanctions on the two countries the deal is drawing
international attention. The US and its allies are concerned
over weapons and ammunition that North Korea provides to Russia.
In exchange for economic assistance. Russia's economy and
military are mostly reliant on the Chinese Communist Party, and
this was reiterated on Tuesday by NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg and Secretary of State Antony Blinken through his
visits to North Korea demonstrates and confirms
they're very close alignment between Russia and all
authoritarian states like North Korea, but also China and Iran.
If China in particular, which professes to have a strong
interest in ending the war, it really means that it will stop
fueling the war machine and will continue to do everything we can
to cut off the support that countries like Iran and North
Korea are providing.
This marks Putin's first visit to North Korea in 24 years after
North Korea Putin is visiting Vietnam's capital meeting with
its leaders. As Russia is facing growing international isolation.
It's seeking the assistance of other authoritarian countries.
Adam Curry: Okay. So a couple things. First of all, I can't
wait until Margaret to get to him because he'll be much more
fun to make fun of with his Dutch accent. When he's talking
like this, you know, I'm looking forward to that. Second, so he's
going to Vietnam also a competitor to China, North
Korea. Interesting choice. How about this? Perhaps Putin is
thinking, you know, I've got to draw this out. because it looks
like Trump might get in. I can deal with Trump we can we can
manage this situation. We can figure out Jay Paul, for all I
know, they're already talking, I don't know. How Wouldn't it be
awesome. And I use that word, specifically to have the summit
between Trump and Putin in North Korea.
John C Dvorak: Or Vietnam for that.
Adam Curry: But North because when Trump went to you know, he
stepped over the stepped
John C Dvorak: foot in North Korea, unlike anyone else, and
then
Adam Curry: that would that would put North Korea in a whole
different light. We could get them out of you know, like, hey,
these guys actually helped something. I don't know what I
have a feeling there's a reason for this. It's not just for some
supply chain. Where's the supply chain of weaponry? Do we have
trained eyes?
John C Dvorak: Putin does the need to go there. If they're
buying shells from North Korea, they're buying shells from so
what economic assistance is they be given the hard cash and say
give us some shells and there we go. We don't need to visit.
Adam Curry: It's just Hey, Kim. Samia, you're right. Venmo
windows. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I think you're onto something. Yeah. There's
some other reason why else would he be going there? He's not
going there to confirm a shell deal.
Adam Curry: Let me check the shells man. Exactly. Madison
there
John C Dvorak: he may be planning something in advance
and Trump may be involved now
Adam Curry: at the same time the danger is that the nut jobs who
are running the show over there in in Ukraine, Ukraine and NATO
and they're probably going to try and hold we got it before
Trump comes in we got to do what we can do. So I'm a little
concerned about that too.
John C Dvorak: Because they could do this because because of
gravy trains over once Trump gets in Yeah,
Adam Curry: because you know a cat who's driven into the corner
can make strange jumps This is a Dutch ism
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Jade again and cotton
Adam Curry: had now cadre from Mark routers promo so if you if
you corner a cat it can make weird jumps. Yeah, cats do
kitten cat jumps. Yes. But the war machine I mean, they've got
plenty to work on because just in case we can't keep that
Ukraine thing going. I think we should add Lebanon to the
problem. This footage
Unknown: released by the Israeli army aims to show its striking a
base operated by Hezbollah and Lebanon. The militant group says
at least three of its fighters were killed in the attack, as
footage from the ground showed smoke billowing into the air,
about 30 kilometers from the border. on the Israeli side of
the border air defenses shot down rockets launched by
Hezbollah Wednesday and apparent retaliation for that strike.
This has Israel's Army issued a statement saying it was ready
for a full blown conflict with the militant group. As
part of the situational assessment. Operational plans
for an offensive in Lebanon were approved and validated, and
decisions were taken on the continuation of increasing the
readiness of troops in the field.
That announcement followed the release of drone footage that
Israel said was taken by Hezbollah showing possible
targets in several Israeli cities, and comments from
Israel's foreign minister who vowed and an all out war
Hezbollah will be destroyed and Lebanon severely beaten close
ability, funded by promising the same for Israel's.
Israel knows that no place will be saved from our missiles and
our drones and our strikes and not indiscriminate. Israel knows
that we have a list of targets. And we have the ability to reach
these targets. And we will shake the foundations of Israel
since the October 7 attacks by Hamas and Israel. Hezbollah has
launched ongoing attacks in northern Israel, killing at
least 16 soldiers and 11 civilians. Israeli strikes and
Lebanon during the same period have killed more than 400
people, most of whom were Hezbollah fighters. But dozens
of civilians have also been killed. I mean,
Adam Curry: if you're Hezbollah What are you thinking? Like this
is a couple
John C Dvorak: of clips on this too. I think there's some things
you know, there's a today's news, for example, talks a lot
about how the army the IDF is going well you know, we can do
we're not gonna be able to kill all these Hamas guys. And I
think Netanyahu is nuts. And they're getting into a lot of
beef. And meanwhile, there's Hezbollah things been cranked up
and I have two clips on that. One, we'll see Hezbollah action
one. This
Unknown: is in di D lawmakers from the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee are in the Middle East on Wednesday night,
Israeli President Isaac Herzog told them it's crucial that the
US and Israel maintain strong ties watch that we are fighting
here the Battle of the free world against the Empire. Evil.
That's what we're doing today. The visit comes as a high level
meeting between Israel and the US has reportedly been
cancelled. That's according to Axios and CNN citing to US
officials. This comes after Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said this on Tuesdays, the administration has been
withholding weapons and ammunition students. Their
reports an envoy for President Biden later told Netanyahu that
the accusations are inaccurate and out of line. On Wednesday,
the Israeli government gave this update ammunition
and weapons that the Prime Minister referred to are in the
process of being delivered to Israel. This
comes as tensions at the Israel Lebanon border keep rising.
Hezbollah says Israeli strikes killed four of its fighters on
Wednesday. Israel meanwhile, says the Iran backed group fire
15 rockets from southern Lebanon towards a city in northern
Israel. Most of that city has now been abandoned living right
now.
It's very sad to see these entity most of the time the head
of Hezbollah said no place in Israel will be safe from attacks
if a bigger conflict breaks out. He also threatened other
countries in the Mediterranean. In response, Israel is already
strengthening its military readiness in the north, saying
they're getting ready for any possibility.
We have an obligation to change the situation in the North and
return the citizens safely to their homes
Adam Curry: and BB is becoming a problem because like, hey, h
should be quiet about the weapons. If it's not good for
Joe cut problems enough.
John C Dvorak: We'll talk about I don't think he likes Joe. No,
of
Adam Curry: course he doesn't because they're not helping him
out anymore.
John C Dvorak: And what was the second part of this Hezbollah
clip now
Unknown: and lastly, the United Nations Human Rights Office says
Israel may have violated the laws of war by failing to
distinguish between civilians and fighters in Gaza.
Unlawful targeting, when committed as part of a
widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population
may also implicate the commission of crimes against
humanity.
The UN Office came to that conclusion by assessing six
Israeli attacks that caused a high number of casualties.
Israel called the analysis flood.
Adam Curry: Just I don't understand, I keep hearing
Thomas Massie in the back of my mind God, these guys they want
to take it all to Iran. Is this just the next step? And what is
Hezbollah thinking? Oh, this is a good idea to choose from
rockets into Haifa. Yeah, that makes sense. Israel's going to
go into Lebanon it's obvious that's the next step and then
what
John C Dvorak: then what then we have the Democratic National
Convention
Adam Curry: right right on time.
John C Dvorak: I don't know Yeah, it's obvious to me too. I
agree that these they're gonna they're gonna shift focus
because this Gaza thing is done the best they can do and
Netanyahu is under a lot of pressure but if we created a
really kind of a nasty nasty your situation with Hezbollah,
they're bigger they're stronger they got more stuff Yeah, that's
exactly what's gonna they're gonna go to Lebanon on the on
the west Clarke seven is one of the heroes taken over years and
years ago we never did we kind of
Adam Curry: just kind of rub alized and financially mobilized
for sure. I mean, the places there's a mess and then and then
all of a sudden the Houthi start acting up again and I don't know
about you but I see video is like is that of the trying to
make it look like some kind of submarine targeted when a sub
ship and then blows up the back part or there's the almost
honestly it looks like a fake and then you see another shot
and it blows up the middle section. But you but you don't
neither shot Do you see. So in the in the in the mid in the mid
ship shot? The back is still fine. But then, when they hit
the back of the ship, the mid ship is fine. So it's like make
up your mind. What did we blow up here?
John C Dvorak: Well, I know that they have one clip from Russia.
That is the weirdest clip I have on this list, which is they
claim to have sunk the Eisenhower guys and yeah, the
USS the giant aircraft carrier.
Adam Curry: Okay, we
John C Dvorak: have any here's a report on it, USS I like this
guy who
Unknown: these claim to have hit or even sunk the USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower in the Red Sea. Now Captain Christopher Shouta. Hill
is using his social media profile to show his crew remains
ready for combat.
I think most of the false claims that have occurred about us, you
know, for instance, saying that we've been sunk I think it's
been about two or three times. In the past six months we've
allegedly been sunk. which we have not been is almost comical
at this point right. Hill also
wants to show the morale of the nearly 5000 personnel aboard the
Eisenhower remains high. He says the nuclear power chip will
continue with the traditions despite Houthi attacks and
misinformation.
So we're going to celebrate Taco Tuesdays because it's my
absolute favorite day of the week. That will never end You
know, I
Adam Curry: will show videos of our Hey, okay. It used to be
we're going to have a cookout we're going to have hot dogs and
hamburgers. Now we're at Taco Tuesdays or Thursdays is weird
Unknown: powered ship will continue with its traditions
despite Houthi attacks and misinformation. So
we're going to celebrate Taco Tuesdays because it's my
absolute favorite day of the week. That will never end You
know, I will show videos of our ships facility dog because he
makes a difference here. People like having him around. He
improves moods. So that if you call that information warfare
campaign campaign, you can Captain
David row commands the destroyers escorting the
Eisenhower, he says his crew works diligently to address the
needs of the mission now,
using the appropriate effect weapon weapons system on the
appropriate threat to preserve magazine depth to have more
missiles to not is a certainly germane tactical question that
my captains are constantly reviewing. Okay,
Adam Curry: so we have no real goes on I stopped it has no real
answer if he's if he's been sunk or not. Three times. I mean, he
could still have Taco Tuesdays.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's gonna have forever on the shore. This
is costing us a fortune. Yeah. That that whole group, that
group that carrier group, yeah, if you see pictures of it, it's
it's the Eisenhower wood must be 50 ships surrounding it. Yeah.
This is not a cheap venture. And it's the taxpayers were picking
this up and what what good is it do I do have a couple more
Houthi analysis clips, which really condemned the whole
thing, because it's costing us a million dollars to shoot down a
$1,000 piece of crap every so often. A
Unknown: cargo ship is believed to have sunk in the Red Sea
after being attacked by Houthi terrorists. Earlier we spoke
with a Justin Logan, Director of defense and foreign policy
studies at Cato Institute about the US approach to the Houthi
attacks. Now to begin reports, note of escalation in the Red
Sea by the Houthis. This is after a bulk ship carrier sank
along with reports of a Remainer onboard being killed. Now this
does come after weekend attacks on two ships as well as an
American destroyer. How do you read these latest moves,
especially when it comes to war in the region and fears of this
escalation?
Well, I think the administration's Middle East
policy has really gone from bad to worse. I mean, they
infamously said that before the 10, seven attacks, the Middle
East hadn't been as quiet as it had, as it was then in decades
than the 10. Seven attacks happened. We built this magical
mystery pier, which is now disintegrated off the coast of
Israel. And then there's this month long war with the Houthis,
which was just
Adam Curry: what did he call it? The Magical Mystery pier? Is
that what he called it?
Unknown: Here, which is that's pretty funny. Then in decades,
than the 10 seven attacks happened. We built this magical
mystery pier, which is now disintegrated off the coast of
Israel. And then there's this month's long war with the
Houthis which was just revealed both that we've spent over a
billion dollars fighting them and that they are making
progress. As you mentioned, they have sunk a second vessel
potentially killed one Filipino mariner. So this thing has
really gone from bad to worse. And you know, I anybody who's
had their hands on this Middle East policy should really hide
their head in a bag because it's been just an absolute disgrace
from pillar to post.
Adam Curry: You really need to look at that that video of the
so called sinking of that ship is bullcrap. I mean, where's
that? Where's where's the rescue or where there's no video of
anything except there's a little little crosshairs and then you
see an explosion it totally what is that a
John C Dvorak: Filipino ship?
Adam Curry: I think so. It's very unclear, because why do you
want a reporting? Let's just say to have the
John C Dvorak: whole thing is a disaster in terms of like in
this next he mentioned this along the way, which is that
we're protecting we're not doing it this is not protecting
anything that's got to do anything to do with us.
Adam Curry: Well, there's no there's one thing that if the if
the Iranians who these whoever whoever flavor of the day, if
they sink a ship in the Straits of Hormuz then is blocked, you
know, there's that little narrow bit
John C Dvorak: Yes, right. This was this was the storyline of
the of the one season episode of Rubicon, I
Adam Curry: don't think I don't think it was in the Strait of
Hormuz that I thought it was it
John C Dvorak: was right in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz.
I tried to well, but regardless, okay is it's it's it's the
Adam Curry: idea is that it's a choke point and that that would
severely hamper international shipping of energy. And you
know, you could just do that and blame it on Iran. Here we go.
John C Dvorak: People are crazy. So let's just play part two of
this
Unknown: expanding on the Houthis apart reports. Note that
the Navy faces its most intense maritime fighting since World
War Two, with near daily attacks car targeting commercial
vessels, as well as warships. How have the Houthis tied down
the US Navy in the Red Sea? Well, it's
really strategic malpractice on the part of the United States,
the Houthis are doing what they've been doing for years and
indeed decades, which is what military people refer to as
shoot and scoot. Right, you have very light munitions, you're
very mobile, and the minute you launched, you get out of there.
And so there are limited ability to retaliate. Moreover, the
technologies that the United States are using are many orders
of magnitude more expensive than what the Houthis are using. If
you look at the cost that we spend to shoot down one Houthi
missile, which is not particularly accurate, you're
talking about in the neighborhood of a million
dollars to destroy 2000 or 5000. At most dollars worth of
technology. This is a bad deal for the United States. And
that's how you tally up a billion dollars of expenditures
over just about six months, with very little to show for it in
terms of military or political developments.
Adam Curry: I like to shoot and scoot. That's
John C Dvorak: good scoot. I think that would explain the
problem with catching these guys. That's
Adam Curry: what we should have on the instructions for our no
agenda slingshots. scootin. Shoot.
John C Dvorak: Perfect. Anyway, the last clip, which is this one
is brings up something that that irks me
Unknown: expanding on that the Cato Institute where you're
based has a piece out titled The US military role in the Red Sea.
Now turning offensive is a bad deal. Noting that the US led
coalition operation prosperity Guardian has cost the US too
much. Given that what should be the US strategy in the Red Sea
going forward? Well, I
think we got roped into this by telling ourselves a story about
freedom of navigation, which sounds like a really good
principle to defend, right, we want commercial ships to be able
to go anywhere they want with impunity. However, that's not
the way the international economy works. So if you look at
what's transpired, the ship traffic going through the Red
Sea has gone way down. And there's a significant rerouting
of maritime traffic from the Middle East around the Cape of
Good Hope. Almost all of this carriages going to Europe, all
of almost all of the trade is going to Europe, not to the
United States. So it's not the case that we sort of run a
maritime convoy with every trade shipment that goes around the
world. And that does increase the costs at the margins for
European consumers of these goods that are have to pay more
Mariners and have to use burn more fuel to reroute away from
the Red Sea. But I think before you get into a shooting war with
the Houthi is you want to have a story that you can tell yourself
about what cost it would be worth paying, and what that
likely cost would be to make a dent in the Houthis ability to
launch these attacks, which while terrifying, are not that
consequential? I mean, they've been at this for the better part
of six months and they just sank their second vessel and even so
there's still some commerce going through the Red Sea so I
think we're you know, have been in for a penny but should not be
in for a pound on this thing.
Adam Curry: Yeah, they gotta tee that up. I think it's perfect.
Because the minute you the minute you blocked you get the
choke point there. Yeah, you have the Houthis with Iranian
missiles sinking something we can send over more liquid
petroleum gas ships. Because the exactly everybody here,
John C Dvorak: everybody here on the deal if you get the hell out
of there, yep, scoot
Adam Curry: and shoot. Everyone here knows that said, hey, you
know, it's kind of weird. When, when, when the Nord Stream to
when that got blown up, you know, by Putin, who did it
himself. It's kind of weird that you guys showed up right away
with all that liquid petroleum gas. That was really
interesting. That's why I say hey, Michel,
John C Dvorak: it makes no sense that we're there at all in the
Red Sea. Igloo protecting we're projecting shipping to Europe,
let them predicted themselves. No,
Adam Curry: I think we're gonna sink something and then blame
it. It's this this false flag written all over it all over it.
When that'd be perfect. Then we can
John C Dvorak: worry. I like the false doing a false flag and the
then get now it's about
Adam Curry: time. It's about it's really tried. It's about
time for a false flag. We get a good false flag people
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we're way overdue.
Adam Curry: For we take a break to eclipse I've been tracking
this. And I think there's a new angle that is that has come in
which I like, I may don't like it. But I'd like what what
they're exposing in our season of reveal. And this is about the
constant droning on and pushing of age restrictions for social
media. And I thought
John C Dvorak: i Congratulations. You brought it
up first. I didn't think much about it. But this was where I
brought it up. Or you said you had this, this thing about
Australia being a testbed. And within a week, that's all
they're talking about over here. We later is putting new
restrictions on social media so the kids don't get hurt. There's
Adam Curry: something extra going on. And I think we can
deconstruct this, because they're, well, here's the first
one from NBC.
Unknown: A stark warning from the nation's top Doctor
accelerates a national push to limit kids access to social
media. And the New York Times the Surgeon General writes, the
mental health crisis among young people is an emergency and
social media has emerged as an important contributor. On today
Dr. Murthy said adolescents average five hours per day on
social media
when adolescents spend more than three hours a day on social
media we're seeing an association with a doubling of
the risk of anxiety and depression symptoms.
surgeon general Murthy wants congressional approval to add a
warning label on social media much like the warning on
cigarettes. Research suggests text posts and online bullying
can undermine kids self confidence, especially body
image with some taking their own lives.
Many of them say that they can't get off it because the platforms
are often designed to maximize how much time our kids are
spending on them. If you have blood
on your hands you're January top social media CEO is faced by
partisan fury. CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to victims
families and sustained meta Facebook is working to reduce
social media as harmful effects make sure that your family's the
Surgeon General recommends phone free zones at school and at home
during meals bedtime and social gatherings. And kids should have
no access to social media until they're out of middle school.
Adam Curry: Okay, so here's here's what I've been tracking.
We've we're seeing states enact rules and laws themselves. Not
all pass yet but hope goal came in from New York. I'm pretty
sure California has done this probably other states. And I've
been tracking my hatless and pivot with your buddy Kara
Swisher protege, and Prof. G. And they keep they've been
saying this for months I've just been waiting and waiting and
waiting. And they keep bringing up the same analogy to social
media age gating as they like to call it we need to age gate that
it should be easy. We just technology exists age gate. It's
just like the tobacco industry now
Unknown: to the Surgeon General calling for a tobacco style
warning label on social media, saying it poses a mental health
crisis among young people. Elizabeth shozy has those
details for us. Good morning, Elizabeth. Good morning, Rebecca
and the US Surgeon General now wants to put those warning style
labels on social media like what you'd see for cigarettes or
tobacco. And an op ed in the New York Times Dr. Vivek Murthy
writes, a surgeon general's warning label which requires
congressional action would regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media has not been proved safe. He
says that similar labels that were put on tobacco products
have dramatically reduced their usage. Now Murthy is pointing to
data that shows teens who spend more than three hours a day on
social media faced double the risk of anxiety or depression.
The average user that age was on social media for almost five
hours a day last year Murthy sounded the alarm about how
social media is contributing to a mental health crisis among
younger Americans. He has urged Congress to pass legislation
that would stop platforms from collecting data about kids and
putting restrictions on push notifications or auto scrolling.
And while there is bipartisan support for some of those
measures, none of them have passed in Congress guys.
Something so many parents are thinking about here five hours a
day on social. Trust
me I saw that number and I said I need to get home it takes the
phone.
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. All right. So
John C Dvorak: that clip was on your game is the second time
you've done it. It's clipped. It's too low. I can barely hear
it. For
Adam Curry: so it was out of balance. There's something with
clips clean for everyone else heard something? Yeah, something
with clean feed is a problem. So wait, wait, no, no, I have
something to say here. I was leading this whole thing all you
can think about is the audio Quality, please.
John C Dvorak: When you watch, okay go on.
Adam Curry: When we we make the comparison between social media
and tobacco and warning labels. Now we know a lot about the
warning labels. First of all, when you put the warning label
on it, it makes people want to smoke more. So it only makes
kids want to be on social media more. But what is the main thing
of tobacco regulation that we learned from the master state's
agreement, taxation, taxation goes to the states for to pay
for all the people who don't have healthcare who will need
the mental health care. I think we're getting a social media tax
per state that's coming in, just like book, I wanted it in the
Red Book. There's something something about this, this
comparison to tobacco that is not just about age gating. It
has to do taxing.
John C Dvorak: I think that's an interesting Well, no one. No
one's heard that yet. No. I have two clips on cell phones and
schools, which is similar. Okay. Because and what gets me about
these two cell phones a school in Los Angeles mainly, is that
as I listened to these clips, I can't believe that they've been
allowing, I guess, I haven't been paying attention or I did
know this, but I wasn't really tuned into it, that you have a
class full of kids. And half of them are on their phones in the
classroom, scrolling or dicking around or whatever they do. How
is this like, inclusive to learning anything? I don't get
why these I'm sorry, why it's been allowed to begin with. I'm
Adam Curry: sorry. At what point did you think that we were still
teaching children in school when? I mean, neither of us have
kids in school anymore. It's a mess. It's a free for all. The
only some smaller schools, private schools, no home
schools. There, the rest is a mess. The teachers are woke then
they're not doing the Oh, everyone's on meds and
everyone's on their phone.
John C Dvorak: And the US disaster it is
Unknown: 72% of high school teachers said a cell phone
distraction is a major problem in the classroom. That's
according to a report last week by the Pew Research Center.
Educators in Los Angeles are taking action on this issue. By
early next year, students in the nation's second largest school
district will no longer be able to use cell phones during the
school day. NTDs. Cristina Corona has more on the decision.
The LA Unified School District the
Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education
voted Tuesday to ban cell phone use during the school day board
member Nick Melvoin who pushed the bill stated that students
are surreptitiously scrolling in school in class time there have
their head in their hands walking down the hallways.
They're not talking to each other or playing at lunch or
recess because they have their air pods in
the band which includes lunch and breaks aims to improve
student's interpersonal communication skills and reduce
social media distress and cyberbullying.
It's crystallizing these deleterious effects the harmful
effects on students academic achievement on their mental
health on their physical health.
He noted that another school districts with this policy kids
are happier, engage more with each other and show improved
academic performance. When teachers said that years ago,
students having a cell phone in class wasn't as much of an issue
as it is today.
This year, even with a very strict no cell phone policy in
my classroom, it was an uphill battle. Managing Student use of
smartphones is now like as a classroom teacher is now more
like running a nonstop marathon.
However, many board members oppose the bill arguing that
cell phones are essential for safety.
Adam Curry: Alright, just because I can feel the steam
already rising. I want to say there are many good teachers. I
know they've been castrated. They have no power. They're
living in this woke complex and it's being shoved down their
throat. There's plenty of good ones. And it's very difficult. I
think if you choose that profession, I hold you in high
regard. It's a tough, tough gig these days. And luckily there
are you know, I'm seeing initiatives eighth grade is kind
of the thing that pet because the parents have to agree. No
cell phone, not just school, no cell phone until eighth grade.
That's what a lot of parents are talking about these days. I
think. No cell phone until you're 80. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Does the smartphone came out in 2007?
It's taken 17 years are you telling me to get to the point
where well gee, maybe we shouldn't have these things in
class.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I think I think that what See what's
happening is the the adults themselves are now realizing
Wow, I'm really messed up my brains all jumbled the what must
be doing to the kids? I think it took a long time to realize
remember all we could report on for the first 10 years of
smartphones was all look at the new iPhone. Oh this Whoa look at
this one new phone new phone.
John C Dvorak: But that's it. That wasn't me.
Adam Curry: No, that's not.
John C Dvorak: Part two is shows that some people are still
resisting. Our cell
Unknown: phones also provide some comfort is I can reach my
son or we can reach our children and he can reach me during an
emergency or when he needs me
what other members stated that some kids will use their devices
regardless,
cell phones gonna exist anyway. And before you live by yourself
or what's going to be noticed they don't have it on their
watch and have a watch that tells him the same stuff. The
same stuff you can do on the cell phone you can do pretty
much from your computer.
However for some students using cell phones is a necessity. It's
just that some of our newcomers students utilize new
Adam Curry: bombers the new comers good was it
Unknown: does just that some of our newcomers students utilize
phones for translation purposes obviously a person is ideal but
in sometimes in less common languages, there's the
utilization of phones in class for that purpose
school will be able to determine how to implement the phone ban
whether by requiring phones to be stored in lockers or pouches
during the day the resolution instruct staff to develop and
present policies and a plan to the public before the board
approves them. Within 120 days, the policy will go into effect
as early as January 2025.
Adam Curry: And whenever I get an email from a from a teacher,
say well what should I do? I said leave the school and find
the homeschool movement. You're in high demand. You'll love the
hours you'll love the environment. Just you got to you
got to opt out of this. This is It's unfixable. It's unfixable.
John C Dvorak: Think it is unfixable? Especially if you're
going to have apologists like the last clip had Oh, you know
they needed anyway. Oh, it's a case of an emergency. I want my
kid to be able to get a hold of me. What emergency what what how
often does this happen? Well, but
Adam Curry: that's because we've we've raised this whole my gen.
A generation now behind me. They've been raised as ninnies.
You know, worried about everything he's worried about
their kids, you know? worried because emergency What if
there's a school? What it says school shooting? I won't know
what to do.
John C Dvorak: No, ninnies.
Adam Curry: Hey with that I want to thank you for your courage in
the morning to you the man who put the sea in the cheap fake
say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr.
John Cena.
John C Dvorak: Morning new Mr. Adam Korean morning all ships
and sea boots on the ground feed near subs in the world in the
days and nights out there. Hello there
Adam Curry: we're up today. This is nice. We see on the last
Thursday. We had 1584 Today we have 1609 Extra trolls and the
troll room Good to see you there trolls. Remember you can join
the trolls live on our Thursday and Sunday shows to you crack
some open there.
John C Dvorak: No, no. No, I just thought you were watching
stuff off the list.
Adam Curry: I want to know your drink and you can join the
trolls at troll room.io or the fancy new no agenda dot stream.
Very nice. Very nice website. Sir Tim coded monkey put in. I
gotta make sure I say coded monkey. And well, you can use a
modern podcast app. There's plenty of them. Pod verse is a
great one to use. Cast thematic podcast guru fountain you can
find them at podcast apps.com. Why are they so cool? Well,
first of all, they're built by independent people. So you can
have something changed or added if you want to you can talk to
the developer also, when we go live, you don't get this on
Apple or Spotify didn't even have live in their podcast apps.
When we go live boom, you get a notification. You tap on
listening live. He get chapters you get transcripts. And the
minute we publish it night in about a minute and a half. 90
seconds later, you get notified if you're listening later. It's
fantastic. I don't see why you would still you get people. It
has been uploaded to Apple for five hours after the show. I'm
flipping out. Get a real app. Stop it. Stop it. Rev if you're
listening to the show, you should be against the man.
Certainly against Spotify. That's where I can find your
podcast on Spotify. There's a reason for that. Because they
want to put ads in because you have to sign a contract. That's
not how podcasting supposed to work. Take it for me. I was
there. Yeah. You're the guy I was there I was there I
John C Dvorak: don't get it. It's very weird. didn't touch
Spotify call you and ask you for some advice at some point.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. When cuz when they were when they were
rolling out when they're getting ready for their podcast strategy
they had hosted the consultancy. Not Anderson but the were mayor
peeps from
John C Dvorak: Indianapolis No, no,
Adam Curry: the consultancy the consultants, the consultants.
Oh, McKinsey McKinsey. Yeah. They did a big white paper. And
my advice was don't do it. McKinsey
John C Dvorak: got to do it. The price of bread when it comes to
podcasting, when they have somebody who actually invented
the whole thing. Like you, for example. Well just ask, and you
probably would have given it away.
Adam Curry: Well, they called me mackynzie called me and said,
Well, you know, they had all these questions. I said, this is
this is a dumb idea. Stay out of podcasts and just generally
screw it up.
John C Dvorak: And she said, Instead of that, you should say,
Well, I my fee is
Adam Curry: no I wanted I wanted to warn them. And they promised
me a copy of the report, which they never gave me so McKinsey
are liars. They're liars is horrible. They lie believable.
That happened. Liars. Yeah. Gee, I wonder why that happened? No,
I said, Don't do this. This is stupid. And they spent a billion
dollars in didn't work. There you go. That's how it goes.
Yeah, obviously they try to do at advertising play. As we say
in the business. We've got an advertising play. Well, how did
that work out? It didn't. It didn't they got all the big
names, like Michelle Obama and the Kardashians. And Megan
Markel, and Harry, and it failed. Because no one cares.
They're not podcasters it's just celebrities doing an mp3 trying
to get some ad money. And then they couldn't even fulfill it.
They had to open it up and put on all the podcast apps. And
then, you know, people always say, you know, it's so smart
that you guys didn't go with advertising because you know,
you can't get the platform. I just want to be honest about it
the real honest reason because we weren't thinking about D
platforming in 2007 We weren't thinking about that. No, because
it wasn't a thing that I think brand safety was already kind of
bubbling under you know there was some talk about it that term
specifically but
John C Dvorak: it wasn't like it was went once they D platform
Alex no need to be exhausting to start throwing people off the
air
Adam Curry: you're out Yeah, well it wasn't like that. The
reason why we wouldn't didn't want to have an advertising
model in the beginning was because we didn't want to have
any meetings with advertisers do you know how tedious it
John C Dvorak: was the main thing you said are you had to
actually Moore's lewd way? I did it I
Adam Curry: did. We don't want to talk to those guys. It's
tedious. It's horribly of that meetings. And then that listen,
we didn't really quite like your read on that last show. Yeah, he
didn't really didn't really punch at home and John stopped
making noises when Adams doing the read. Yeah, who needs that
nonsense.
John C Dvorak: It's exactly what you'd get.
Adam Curry: And then they'll be like, in and we get in fights
we're like, Well, we really like John's read better. So we're
gonna have him read everything and then I'll be like, Well,
yeah, we get in fights about it would be bad between us would be
bad blood.
John C Dvorak: More money though. Well,
Adam Curry: maybe that well. Although something kind of
amazing happened today. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Well, I do we have we do have people are super
supporters that come in every so often, but it wasn't for them.
No, I
Adam Curry: mean, we literally have the amount of donations is
very
John C Dvorak: sparse today. Yeah, we only have 35 Actually,
but and
Adam Curry: this is kind of the random number theory. And this
is this is what we discovered with value for value. Somehow
the roller coaster evens out along the way. Duchess Kim of
the fluffer noddy's decided her fluffy is not it says fluffer
noddy's
John C Dvorak: English it Yeah, but I think that's just another
type of word.
Adam Curry: Not her fluffy. I think you're right. I mean, it
didn't sound right when I

make one up for you. Screw you freedom
Unknown: or more Yeah.
You've got karma. That's
John C Dvorak: well, she actually went to retirement
karma not exit strategy. But
Adam Curry: that's retirement when we say exit strategy.
That's retarded. Look, did you have anything better?
John C Dvorak: I never. I never thought of it as retirement I
thought of is doing something different.
Adam Curry: What do you think he's, you think he's just going
to sit on his but he's got
John C Dvorak: to do it with a daughter like that? I
Adam Curry: doubt it. Yeah, he'll probably be doing
something. Onward today. There's
John C Dvorak: no such thing as retirement for people like No,
not like that. jurien

Unknown: formula is this. We go out. We had people in the mouth
through your freedoms
John C Dvorak: Can we start with the bonus clip?
Adam Curry: Now did you get my email? Did you get my email
about the bonus clip?
John C Dvorak: No, I didn't want to say that.
Adam Curry: It said Do you realize this is from 2019?
John C Dvorak: No, it's from 2020.
Adam Curry: I think okay.
John C Dvorak: Well he was writing him I was somebody
research instead it was from 2024 years
Adam Curry: old. I mean, everyone's this clip is is going
viral. I'm like who cares? It's old. I mean, we know everyone
was
John C Dvorak: I can I know what is that is old, but it got to
fell through the cracks because of COVID.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Okay, so we're gonna dig this old cow out
of the canal.
John C Dvorak: I'm digging the cow out of the canal. Because
it's clogging up things. And because the guy who's who this
is from New Amsterdam or Amsterdam News, New Andrew, New
Amsterdam. Yeah, it was it is about the Bellevue Hospital. It
was from a from a novel, they turned into a TV show. It lasted
five years somehow. And it ended in 2023. I mean, it's at least
two years old. And it and the guy who was the creator of this
show as a huge Democrats, if you look him up and open secrets
he's donated, and he's big, big Biden supporter. Oh, and so I so
I thought because of all that, that it would be worth listening
to his I never heard it before.
Unknown: Makes him comfortable. There's a couch over there. He's
okay. By hence the first answer some questions from a Harvard
test known as unrest. It is designed to measure someone's
level of social resistance,
social resistance. When people like us oppose the values and
policies of the dominant culture. What does that have to
do
so he feels threatened on a daily basis, like everything
he's earned can just be taken away. He's disenfranchised. But
because his life is seemingly free from all this, because he
can't name it. He's internalizing it racism I think
it sounds tomorrow's caused by racism.
Adam Curry: Yes. The beauty tumors caused by racism, tumors
John C Dvorak: caused by design with credit. One of our
producers sending me that and I looked into it of course and you
find out what it was an old it's an old clip. There's no doubt
about it, but I never heard it. And the fact that they'd have
the guts to put something like that Add on TV is just
astonishing.
Adam Curry: Well remember it was during COVID, you made the point
a lot of stuff was going on in 2020. And they shot it before
that, of course, they probably shot it when Trump you know,
Trump was president and we have Black Lives Matter. And so there
was all that stuff that was going on. But it doesn't matter
because we have still a lot of racism happening, particularly
at American Airlines. Interesting little gaps in this
clip to fourth base
Unknown: American Airlines is responding after three black
passengers accused the airline of racial discrimination. CEO
Robert ISON wrote a letter to airline employees Tuesday that
called the incident unacceptable. Now three black
passengers sued American in federal court last month
accusing flight attendants of removing them due to racial
discrimination. The airline says another passenger complained of
an offensive odor which led to their removal but the lawsuit
says flight attendants made no mention of an offensive odor on
an earlier flight on the same day, American CEO wrote in that
letter to employees that the airline would take immediate
action in the aftermath of this incident forming an advisory
group that would focus on improving the travel experience
specifically for black customers. Now, the NAACP
responded with a statement saying, quote, the NAACP is
pleased to see that American Airlines has taken initial steps
towards a path to forge a path rather towards a more inclusive
experience for all while it is unfortunately common for black
consumers to experience racism and discrimination at the hands
of corporations. It is not common to see such swipe swift
and device decisive action,
Adam Curry: divisive. Our heads filled with diversity and
divisiveness. And she can't heard that. So, I mean, that
it's a weird story. Like did the black people stink? Is that what
you're saying? Was that the accusation
John C Dvorak: idea? you team up with some some guys or some?
Anybody you want you you're the white person, and you team up
with some and you make this complaint to get him kicked off
so they can sue and you get part of the you get a piece of the
action? Oh, in other words, the whole thing is a scam. Is that
possible that anyone would do that? You think?
Adam Curry: No self respecting black American would? No,
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. scammer.
Adam Curry: We stick with a trans Maoism for a second I got
some feedback. Remember the U turn sign that was taken down
which was a clear symbol of LGBTQ i A P hatred. Yeah,
remember the story? Right? And I and I was saying, you know,
there's something weird about this. What are they promoting?
What is going on? Why is the drag queen there? Well, guess
what? The drag queen is none other than maybe ma II who was
elected in California district 30 elected to Congress under
that screwball name that he she uses Yeah, with the wig and
everything maybe
John C Dvorak: a guy I think is what the name was
Adam Curry: maybe for Congress but okay yes, here's here's
maybes here's maybes platform universal health care tuition
free college housing for ALL Whoa. Environmental Justice LBG
LGBTQ i A rights racial justice abolish ice livable wage no more
war. I'm all in with navy and reproductive rights. In the
website is maybe a girl for congress.org Oh, maybe a girl?
Yeah, maybe a girl for congress.org So that's what this
was about. And you remember that then there was this? This weird
signage everywhere about baby gay and we were questioning with
that as well. Yeah, baby gay. Well, trust trust our anonymous
gay accountant to check in. And the anonymous gay accountant who
has my number text me dude. Dude, dude. That's how we talk,
dude. Baby gay is not a gay couples baby dressed up in pink.
There's no baby gay book they're selling a baby gay is just some
guy that has recently come out of the closet. He could be 30 or
25 or 50 or 18 or whatever. Oh is slaying? Yes. Just someone
new at being out in gay culture. Some people think the term is
funny and some don't like it. It's animosity in the gay
community.
John C Dvorak: They're bound to be Yeah.
Adam Curry: And then
John C Dvorak: this report which we're keeping up somehow. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, thank you. This is why this is why we have
producers is why you don't have listeners. We have producers
whenever we say something off or dumb or whatever. Or even if
there's something we haven't said and you think you want to
tell us Wow bless you. Do you want to want to blow your nose?
No, I think you do. No, no, I'm fine. Okay. Whenever there's
something that everyone's an expert at something every buddy
is an expert at something. And your job is to let us know. So,
the anonymous gay accountant, he's a he's an expert in
accounting and gay, so perfect, appreciate. And then there's
this story which has an interesting kicker at the end a
case in
Unknown: the making since 2017. Now in the hands of the Colorado
Supreme Court. For background autumns Gardena, a transgender
woman ordered a pink cake with blue frosting commemorating her
transition. Jack Phillips of masterpiece cake shop refused
after learning its significance,
I will not recreate a custom cake expressing any message that
violates my religious beliefs. Regardless of grasper under
the Colorado anti discrimination act, it's illegal for places of
public accommodation like retail stores to discriminate against
protected classes of people which includes transgender
people. But Phillips lawyers of the conservative legal group
Alliance Defending Freedom claim a recent Supreme Court ruling
protecting artists freedom of speech is on their side
when the Supreme Court ruled in 303 Creative. The court
reaffirmed that Colorado can't force artists to express
messages they don't believe the Constitution prevents the
government from forcing cake artists, website designers,
photographers and other artists to express messages they don't
believe in their custom art.
Well, some LGBTQ rights supporters watching the case are
concerned about how the justices will rule in light of 303
creative Scardino as attorney claims that case is too narrow
to apply. Sticking with this argument, businesses
are not permitted to discriminate against members of
the public just because they object to their gender identity.
This
isn't Jack Phillips first time in court back in 2018. The US
Supreme Court sided with Philips and a narrow ruling after he
refused to make a wedding cake for same sex couple. The US
Supreme Court announced it would take up that case in 2017. And
on the same date when made the announcement scarred Deena
called requesting the pink and blue cake.
Adam Curry: So this is all posturing. It's all phony. It's
all fake. This person is not really offended. They're just
trying to make a point. minute then in the meanwhile,
everyone's hair on it's the same guy from the gay cake.
Unknown: To gay cake. Yeah, the gay cake
John C Dvorak: admissions show title.
Adam Curry: They didn't want to do the trans cake, but it was
filed on the same day of the gay cake ruling. This is just
John C Dvorak: free publicity. I don't know what they're up to.
Well, and Colorado is Colorado is more screwed up than
California. But this brings
Adam Curry: me to another case that I think is worth
discussing. Because I'm gonna take the other side on this. And
I think I know what's going on here. This is Louisiana, who
have now put into law that the 10 commandments must hang in
every single public school classroom. Critics
Unknown: say it threatens to blur the separation between
church and state enshrined in the First Amendment in the US
Constitution. Republican governor Jeff Landry signing
into law new legislation requiring the 10 commandments be
displayed in classrooms across the state of Louisiana.
John C Dvorak: This bill mandates the display of the 10
commandments in every classroom in public, elementary, secondary
and post education schools in the state of Louisiana because
if you want to respect the rule of law, you got to start from
the original law giver, which was Moses.
Unknown: All right, the Louisiana
the first country to require that the religious texts be
displayed in public schools. The law orders that posters no
smaller than 28 by 35 centimeters be put up on them.
commandments must be laid out in large and easily readable font.
While the religious texts will be the central focus. It will
also be paired with a statement detailing the 10 commandments
have been a prominent part of American public education for
almost three centuries. Soon after the bill was signed into
law civil rights groups vowed to sue. The joint statements the
American Civil Liberties Union and several other organizations
say the legislation is unconstitutional. The First
Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what
religious beliefs if any to hold and practice without pressure
from the government. Politicians have no business imposing their
preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public
schools.
It's not the first time such a case has come up. In 19. AC the
Supreme Court ruled that a similar Kentucky law was
unconstitutional but six conservatives now in the top
courts, supporters of this new law believe the justices would
rule in their favor in any potential lawsuits. I
Adam Curry: don't think it's about about the Supreme Court. I
think that first of all, as much as I think it's a great idea,
I'm gonna give it to the ACLU on this one. Obviously, this is
where the so called Set ration of church and state in the First
Amendment does apply. The government cannot mandate any
anything religious, I think you can you can make an argument
that this is a mandate of a religious text. However, I think
they're doing it to get the to get the pride flags out. I think
that I think this is a setup.
John C Dvorak: That's an interesting theory. It might be
a way to get the pride flags out because there's too many of them
are becoming a
Adam Curry: problem or make them a certain size 35 centimeters,
your flag can only be this big, something like that.
John C Dvorak: I think that's interesting, because why oh,
well, California talking about all these issues California
since you're playing these localized clips, play this clip
here, which is I think, more concerning than anything I don't
be honest about I don't think the 10 commandments are a big
deal to take out of the schools good idea, but Cal schools and
the pronoun law, school
Unknown: districts in California would be banned from forcing
teachers to notify parents if their child asks to go buy a new
pronoun. Today the state Senate approved this proposal now heads
to the assembly. Supporters say it protects LGBTQ students from
bullying and harassment. Opponents say the bill strips
parental rights undermines the trust between schools and
parents.
Adam Curry: Hmm Well,
John C Dvorak: this is the show so in other words, the kid is a
girl at the school and wants to be a boy and then the and must
be called Zhi Zhu or whatever him yo the astute the the
teachers are forbidden from mentioning any of this to the
parents
Adam Curry: is great. Take it as crazy as
John C Dvorak: funny you can't have a cell phone but but and
then the rationale is to prevent bullying does the bullying take
place in school 90 haha at somebody's house? Unless you're
bullied by your your parents? Is that what they're saying?
They're saying the parents are bullies know what they're trying
to imply?
Adam Curry: It's, it's nonsense. It's nonsense. But let me just
go back to to religion. I think we can safely say and we may
even be able to prove it scientifically that climate ism
is a religion. Would you agree?
John C Dvorak: We've discussed this before in the past and
listed the Bible of the of the of that religion and on and on
and the various saints of that religion. Hansen for example,
weed This is not a new topic. No,
Adam Curry: no, I'm not going to discuss that as the topic. But I
think they shouldn't be able to teach it in school. As climate
ism is out of control. We are talking Okay. You started the
show off talking about gaslighting. You want to hear
some gaslighting? Here's Kathy Hoko governor of New York. This
Unknown: is not a natural hot weather stretch for us here in
New York, especially upstate. But we're gonna be seeing
temperatures at levels we have not seen in our lifetimes. And
I'm wondering Yorkers and what we're doing about this
significant public health event right now everywhere north of
New York City is under a heat advisory and it's only going to
get worse starting today in the Genesee Valley and the Finger
Lakes. And starting tomorrow. Extreme heat will hit everywhere
in the great state of New York. Now, what does this mean? It's a
dangerous mix of high temperatures and extreme
humidity causing feels like temperature of over 100 degrees.
Now that's hot.
John C Dvorak: You and I have bought, by the way that social
media just blast off cars, all kinds. You and I have both been
in New York. I lived there for 12 years and in New Jersey lived
in the area forever. Yeah. And it's like this. Every summer I
was there one year to get some meetings. I had to be there. And
right in the middle of summer, I think it was in August. And it
was so hot and humid. That literally had to change my
clothes three times a day. Because you just get soaked.
Yeah, and it's just a mess. And this isn't during our lifetimes.
Adam Curry: I remember I remember walking on the streets
of New York City and the tar was sticking to your shoes. Now
okay, it's
John C Dvorak: terrible. It can get miserable and very,
Adam Curry: very humid, and a jacket and it just hangs there.
Now of course, this is because of the so called heat dome,
which they are now lying about. We discovered this on a previous
episode. They're saying oh, this is the this is the carbon
dioxide it hangs in the air. And that creates you in one spot
fish creates a wet blanket over over everything and that's why
it's hot instead of the humidity and even some dust there's all
kinds of stuff that causes it. But this is not the carbon
dioxide but no more
Unknown: than a dozen cities hit new record highs today including
boss in Hartford, Connecticut and Gary Indiana as 18 states
broil under the heat dome, Tina's
Adam Curry: roil Tina's entire family still lives in Indiana.
She grew up literally on the other side of the train tracks
from Gary, Indiana. Guess who hasn't been calling like, oh,
cheetahs sister. You won't believe it. Her family because
like, okay, it's a little warm. But oh, Gary, Indiana. We're
pleased and what are we talking 90 degrees? Oh, no, it's 90. The
map is red.
Unknown: In some places. It
felt as hot as 110 degrees felt as
Adam Curry: hot. So it wasn't actually that hot just felt that
way. CBS
Unknown: is Lilla Lilia Luciano reports from a brutally hot
Philadelphia in the city of brotherly love. The heat came
early. Super hot. EMT Don Yellow Green says he's bracing for a
busy season. Are you making those knots earlier in the
season you feel this? Last summer it was actually summer
when we started getting exhausted. The city has already
declared its first heat health emergency of the year through
Saturday in Vermont for out here for the next couple days just
trying to beat the heat. Get out of the heat though. There are
parts of the state today that are almost 10 degrees hotter
than Miami. Meteorologists show Winkley with Climate Central
says Miami
Adam Curry: is almost hotter than Miami is 87 degrees. Is
Horowitz calling you saying I can't do the show. It's too hot
a melting here. This is this is gaslighting
Unknown: meteorologist Joe Winkley. With Climate Central
says the shifting weather patterns have a culprit talk to
us about the impact of human activity on these heat patterns
as we pollute our atmosphere with things like carbon, extra
carbon from burning oil and natural gas and coal.
Adam Curry: Either way, I think it means carbon dioxide, I'm
just going to keep harping on that I refuse to allow people to
just call it carbon. It's not carbon is carbon dioxide. That's
what you've told us. The problem was you can't just you know,
it's going to be carb. That'll be it. And before you know what
carbs are just going to be carbon dioxide carbs.
Unknown: Talk to us about the impact of human activity on
these heat patterns.
As we pollute our atmosphere with things like carbon, extra
carbon from burning oil and natural gas and coal. What we're
essentially doing is trapping in a lot of this heat adds that
wool blanket over the top of us so that he is basically trapped.
There's nowhere for it to go.
And what's interesting, too, is that the nighttime temperatures
are also rising. So there's not enough time for the cities for
the land for people to recover before the sun comes out. So it
only keeps getting
hotter. Important
Adam Curry: explanation really, Luciano? Thank you. So it's
important explanation. Thank you. It's a lie. That is not
what I need to go back and get some old heat dome clips to so
they couldn't hear what they were talking about when it was
actually a heat dome, which we've had heat domes happen. Not
these Oh, it's carbon diet as carbon is just hanging in the
air the carbon like a blanket
John C Dvorak: has more did you have to barometric pressure?
Yes, it's
Adam Curry: all about the pressure now. So this was a nice
little one of those performative q&a is in Senate, which is
always fun to listen to. And it's meant for podcasters so we
can pull clips. This is the house science. Oh, I'm sorry
that the House representative, the House Science Committee,
they had a hearing on California's train emissions.
Train. Yes. Because trains have emissions, you know, trains,
electricity emissions is carbon man. And so this is
representative McCormack from Hmm. I don't know where he's
from, but doesn't matter. So he's grilling this poor sap?
Who's they're trying to say, you know, talk about the emissions.
Oh, boy, oh, we can't have trains. They're not even that
great boat can have trains because, you know, carbon heat
dome.
Unknown: Mr. McCormick, you're recognized for five minutes.
Thank you, Mr. Minister. You just brought up an interesting
point about the ocean rising. How much is it risen in the last
50 years?
I'll have to get back with you on that. Congressman,
not not significant amount of obviously 50 years. Since 1970.
What's the carbon emissions? The carbon content to the
atmosphere? Is it greater or less than what it was? 1970?
Could you repeat that question and carbon content carbon
dioxide levels in the United in the entire Earth atmosphere? Was
it greater or less than it wasn't 1970
I would say greater. You
care to state that bet money on that.
I'll let you know answer answer the question, either that I'm
right or wrong. Okay?
And what percent is atmosphere is carbon as made up of carbon
dioxide per se?
It's a little over 400 parts per billion.
So point zero. 4% right? That how much comes from human
beings? By 11% About how much comes from the United States 14%
of that how much comes from trains? And United States? Point
5%. So, we're talking about eliminating point 0000 3% of the
Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide. That's what we're
talking about. Is that a negligible effect when it is
compared to nitrogen? 71%? Yes, thank you. So I love science.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, that's how we need to look at this
stuff. But oh, no, it's going to kill us all. Well,
John C Dvorak: they had that one congressional hearing where they
asked a bunch of people what was the percent? Well, how much
percent carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere? People think 30% Do
you ever would get weren't even close? It's point oh, 4% is
hardly any and what I learned here is that the and that guy by
the way, said parts per billion its parts per million per
million.
Adam Curry: Well, when you get down to it, then it's parts per
billion. When he when it's the percentage of the trains is
parts per billion because your know the 1000 million? I think
1000 Milk Yeah. 0.0004%. That's 4% per billion, four parts per
billion
John C Dvorak: think gaslighting.
Adam Curry: I love science. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you to
our producer David, who came across a peer reviewed published
paper in the January 2024 volume of global ecology and comm
conservation. This is a very hefty document. It's in the show
notes. Of course, I'll spare you the boring academic details.
Because you know, these are people who know how to read this
stuff. That's who our producers are. The nutshell of this is
that in the latest series of papers that claim to have
detected the global greening trend over the past couple of
decades with an extra leafage equivalent to the total area of
1.4 times that of the contiguous United States now covering
Earth. Furthermore, the trend shows signs of acceleration,
correlating the greening with multiple time series. The
authors found that this trend was most correlated with
increased co2 levels, followed by changes to air temperature.
How about that?
John C Dvorak: It was a guy on one of the it was on NPR some
years ago that went on and on about his he had greenhouses and
he had been pumping extra co2 into them to get these things
get to plant plants in the greenhouse to go nuts. Plants
need carbon dioxide,
Adam Curry: not just plants, but you know sir Jean, he has
snakes. He has two snakes I think one is 17 feet and the
other one is small one about seven feet and they're in his
house and he usually has the carbon dioxide levels in his
house up to about 12 or 1400 parts per million he says the
snakes love it he's meant there's a whole community you
know more co2 community there's that newsletters and secret meet
up more
John C Dvorak: co2. Yeah, we don't have enough now we don't
know if it drops below like I think three I think I think 260
We got everything. We die. Exactly.
Adam Curry: Huh. Makes you wonder why they want it to go
down. And of course more gaslighting in California with
the climate ism
Unknown: two months early fire season has ignited in California
dry conditions and high winds are fueling the flames making it
difficult for firefighters to contain the blaze
and we have two and a half years of unburned fuel and a lot of
places because we haven't had a big major fire over the last
couple of seasons we've had them just bumping off but not to this
size
to post fire has been burning since Saturday, so far scorching
56,000 square kilometers forcing evacuations with only 25% of the
blades contained.
So you can see our number one Nemesis is when that wind is
really whipping up there even worse than it is right here. So
that's really what is the biggest challenge right now.
As you can see behind me, the fire destroyed this car along
with other structures in the town of Gorman about 100
kilometers north of Los Angeles. Luckily, no one has died.
California has seen a surge in fires in recent years making it
difficult to insure some homes. Scientists say human caused
climate change is worsening these extreme weather events and
now a dangerous heat wave is gripping much of the Western US
but probably
across the West. This heatwave will probably mark the start of
increased a fire activity it is still early in the season so
vegetation has not approaching its peak seasonal dryness that
would typically occur sometime between August and October
depending on where you are. So the fire risk will be
increasing. The
fire extends beyond California in New Mexico to wildfires rage,
triggering evacuations and confirming an early start to a
devastating fire season.
Adam Curry: Ah, that's France 24 In case you're wondering about
that read? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: was wondering as a matter of fact,
Adam Curry: they got a new dude in there. Yeah, I think he also
doubles the w's what is it? There'll be
John C Dvorak: no Oh, no. Pencil next.
Adam Curry: So of course, you know, they haven't had a good
fire in two years. So yeah, no wonder no forest management but
okay,
John C Dvorak: there's no forest that yeah, we used to manage
this stuff. And I don't know what they took the money away
from it. I guess? Because of global warming. I don't know.
It's just the whole thing seems like a setup.
Adam Curry: Well, we're getting ready for cop 29 That's why the
stories have to increase with this is the big cop, where we're
finally going to figure out how we're going to finance it all.
How we're gonna pay what
John C Dvorak: Where's this one taking? What private airplane?
Hangar nearby is this taking? What Where did all these climate
guys have to fly on their private jets to this time? It's
for the cop?
Adam Curry: It's a fan favorite. It is basically the Casa Blanca
of the Middle East. Baku. Okay, remember Baku? Baku is like,
awesomely remembered
John C Dvorak: by KU. I noticed they've finally taken it out of
Europe. Because they've one time they was in Holland, I think or
someplace where it just happened to be a fluke. It was snowing.
Today was during the show era.
Adam Curry: Baku is I mean, that's. I mean, that's you might
as well do it in Dubai. Yeah, it's hot. But no, but it's also
nice. It's nice. It's you know, you got all kinds of amenities
that are cool. If you're doing, you know, big needled. But of
course we don't I mean, it's not just the the fires is not just
the heat dome. No, no, it's also the tropical glaciers forget
about Ukraine.
Unknown: And if there was then a two degrees rise in
temperatures, what could that mean? Well,
it's and thank you very much for having me. You know, this is in
a way the third kind of crisis that's happening right now. It
can be very difficult to focus on this. Russia's full scale
invasion of Ukraine, but the reality so
Adam Curry: the minute she says that it's just the third crisis,
because of course, we had the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
That means she's here to deliver talking points. By
John C Dvorak: the way, she sounds exactly like that woman
from that used to be running NPR that talks about advertising.
She got that same voice. Yes. She does.
Unknown: It can be very difficult to focus on this with
Gaza with rushes full scale. And
Adam Curry: now you drive me crazy. Let's listen to it. In
PR, advertising, okay. You always have a problem. Oh, this
is the one I think you
John C Dvorak: know, I do this the mess of your show. As you're
very good at it.
Adam Curry: Underwriting Oh, man,
John C Dvorak: advertising, whatever you want to call it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but that's what you that's what you think
it will be? Whatever you want. Oh, heck, thank you. Okay, let's
listen. Let's go to the to this lady. First. You shouldn't
Unknown: have Ukraine. But the reality is this crisis is going
on right now. Okay,
moving on to money. How are NPRs corporate underwriting revenues
holding up in the recession? And what about foundation grants
to different stories? Underwriting is underwriting is
is down. It's down for everybody
with Gaza with Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. But
the reality is this.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is this is the kind of kind of
Unknown: crisis is going on right now.
John C Dvorak: And the EQ is different. So the same cadence,
it's the same lady
Unknown: this is going on right now. It will indeed be
irreversible parts of it are right now already. There's a
very good chance for example, that the West Antarctic Ice
Sheet has already tipped, but we can slip jump,
Adam Curry: the West End Arctic ice sheet has tipped, it's
followed hip, it's fallen over. It's too if
John C Dvorak: Trump gets in they won't have to pay taxes.
Unknown: Antarctic ice sheet has already tipped but we can slow
it down so that we're probably looking at maybe three meters of
sea level rise that we can no longer
what three meters
Adam Curry: were made. they'd be looking at three meters of sea
level rise. When is this going to happen? Lady stop,
Unknown: but we may be able to stretch it out to 800 or 1000
years. Oh,
Adam Curry: is that what the model says in 800 to 1000 years
is going to be okay?
Unknown: Glaciers especially tropical glaciers are
disappearing incredibly quickly right now. And Venezuela lost
its last glacier la corona glacier sometime in the past
year. And so these have inevitable consequences for
humans just this morning. The group se mod which is an
international organization focused on the Himalayas advise
the countries in that region to prepare for drought this year
because snow is at a record low amount in River Basin such as
the induce and so this is ongoing it's sort of the slow
crisis but the inevitable crisis inevitable we have to focus on
and that we can still prevent the worst of if we can stick to
1.5 degrees but unfortunately we're not on that track in any
way shape or form right now.
Adam Curry: I think 1000 years we could you know, what was take
a gamble
John C Dvorak: was taking the is the isn't slow crisis as a term
an oxymoron
Adam Curry: Oh, slow
John C Dvorak: crisis that's a
Adam Curry: very good point. Yeah, a crisis is something that
happens kind of immediately.
John C Dvorak: You have it's a crisis it's a crisis Run Run get
hair on fire. Yeah, but no point oh crisis. What is that it is
bullcrap term this is like the bull crap turn about term about
cheap fake same thing. This is what we're getting a lot of
these gaslighting terms a
Adam Curry: minute she was done with the interview all buddies
calls it oh man, you're buying at Baku. You're buying drinks.
Good one. Slow crisis. Slow crisis. Good one. Luckily the
European Union is fixing it's the
Unknown: culmination of a long battle within the European Union
long
John C Dvorak: battle.
Unknown: That's that's that's really a relief.
environment ministers from the blocks 27 countries meeting in
Luxembourg have backed the nature restoration plan. Finland
Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden voted against
it. But Belgium abstained. And after opposing the text in
March, Germany, this time voted in favor of the legislation,
meaning it can now pass into law following months of setbacks.
The plan requires member states to introduce measures restoring
nature on a fifth of their land and sea side 2030.
This is ownCloud Singh knio Does it's a clear signal that the
protection of the environment and nature is important for our
future threatens the existence of a soul for agriculture and
for forestry. It's therefore also a sign of better protection
for our population shorts on xaba. Fogle is
the voter just enough support to pass with Austria's environment
minister to find her conservative coalition partners
by pledging to back the policy because she said the health and
happiness Raider generations is at stake. My
decision to support this law has been intensely debated. I know I
will face opposition in Austria on this but I'm convinced that
this is the time to adopt this law. Austrian
Chancellor Khan their hammer promptly responded that his
government would file a complaint at the European court
against the quote, unlawful vote.
Adam Curry: This is exactly what the farmers in the Netherlands
and France what they all protested against. Is this oh
no, no, we have to get rid of cows and get rid of farms. It
just has to be nature just has to be nature. Now I was walking
with Christina and Rotterdam. They got plenty of nature in the
city is great and there's no farm. No cows, you need to get
rid of this perfect. And it's getting very green because of
all the co2. And why I wonder if they're panic. It's a slow panic
for them. final clip. I saved this one for last. It's for you.
It looks like even though they've had some problems. They
will be raising money to fix your potholes. The pothole
problem is going to be fixed in California
Unknown: with more than 30 million registered passenger
vehicles in California. The state says it shows up more than
$8 billion a year to maintain the roads those cars drive on.
Much of that cost is paid for money collected here at the pump
from gas taxes. But because so many Californians now own
electric vehicles, that gas tax money is starting to dry up
potentially 10 years from now we'll see a $4.4 billion loss in
revenue because of these issues, which
is why Caltrans wants to instead charge drivers per mile and is
now enrolling people in a six month pilot program to test out
the concept
and what's unique about this pilot is This time we will need
collecting actual revenue from participants.
So why would you participate in a program that charges you about
three cents for every mile you drive. Caltrans says it will
waive gas tax fees and give participants up to $400. Drivers
would track their miles by taking a photo of their odometer
or using a transponder placed in their car. Big concerns about
being tracked any
data that's shared is totally the control of the participant
they choose how much data the data is processed by our account
manager and it does not come to Caltrans all the Caltrans and
fee is the number of miles not going to ever see your location
information. If
you'd like to participate in the pilot program, you can sign up
on Caltrans website. Now participants will be charged to
different rates, some will be charged a flat rate per mile and
others will be charged based on the fuel efficiency of their
vehicle. That's
Adam Curry: the tricky bit in there. So you will be charged
based upon the few how's that old Lexus doing on fuel
efficiency? I get about
John C Dvorak: I think get about 90 miles per gallon on that
thing.
Adam Curry: That's pretty good. But it's no Eevee pretty good.
That's pretty good. But it's no Evie.
John C Dvorak: No, no, I mean, you'd be getting if you're a
hybrid. It's amazing. 5060 miles per gallon is amazing. What
Adam Curry: they're doing there in California really is
John C Dvorak: oh yeah, this is it. By the way. If they had if
they had all this pothole money before the Eevee showed up at
home, why aren't their potholes fixed? This is bullcrap. I like
lies. This is gaslighting. This is the theme of today's show
gaslighting.
Adam Curry: I got a pothole money. JC de ain't happy.
pothole money. There's a hip hop song in there somewhere.
John C Dvorak: pothole money. Yeah. Let's go well, I got some
interesting this. How about doing a pothole money elder
bliss I got gazes building nukes and so he's out of the news a
little bit. Want to get these? I want to get these clips out of
the way because it's about Hunter Biden's verdict be it's
from the Heritage Foundation had an expert come on one of the
shows. I think it's NTD and discuss the what's actually
going on, which is that you know, cuz I watched John
Stewart. And it's like, oh, you know, everybody's Even Steven,
because Oh, yeah, Trump got, you know, maybe political but
they'll go they did the Hunter Biden. Because you have found
guilty and he's not going to be pardoned. Which is unlikely. So
here we are. I want to play these two clips. There's only
two of them's H F. Hunter Biden.
Unknown: We're joined now by Mike Howell, the executive
director of the oversight project at the Heritage
Foundation. Mike on Tuesday, the jury in the hunter Biden's
federal criminal case, found Hunter guilty on all three of
the charges that he faced. What was your initial reaction when
you learn this guilty verdict? Yeah, not
surprised whatsoever who was born a night wasn't born and
last night and the fix has been in for some time here. I mean, I
really worried that the propaganda media is going to
play this as a both sides thing. They're going to basically say
at the high level, oh my gosh, Hunter was held accountable. And
that's what's happening to Trump and then when they're
categorically different things, degree and kinds and
implications. What's happening with with Hunter, is,
essentially they pick the lowest level thing that didn't connect
to Joe the thing they could paint into the light of
addiction in a sympathetic light as as a means to absolve him for
guilt and everything else. What the American people really care
about what I care about is, you know, not that Hunter was a
crackhead. Not a crackhead that got his dead brother's wife
addicted to crack cocaine. She's one who found the gun and got
rid of it. All that's in material. What's material is the
corruption in the federal government that Joe Biden and
his family running an international pay to play
influencing peddling scheme and some of the most corrupt regions
of the world to include Ukraine and the CCP, you know, our
enemies in the CCP and other corrupt regions.
Adam Curry: Have you ever met a crackhead?
John C Dvorak: Ah, I know. I bet a guy that eventually became a
crackhead. But I don't know that I've ever met an active
crackhead. Did you?
Adam Curry: Yes. Just this week. You know, Christina has. She
went to school and she's now a social worker in a I think they
have 3030 people in this house and they are adults. I think
it's all male, middle age. Like 40 to 70 from middle age and
above. And they either have like mental issues or drug addictions
but most of both, and this one guy. He was a crack addict. He
was quite entertaining. Now he he's also agenda.
John C Dvorak: What? Oh, yeah. We have crackheads listening to
our show. We have the unbelievably wide fire shoe,
which is another reason that we couldn't take advertise. It's
really
Adam Curry: true. I don't want to say his name, but he's great.
He was quite interesting. Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. He's very,
you know, punter may have been a very fun guy to hang out with
when he was on crack.
John C Dvorak: This was some people think he's up for his
missing teeth. Well, yeah. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah, no, there's definitely that the dental
hygiene is not great with the cracks.
John C Dvorak: So basically, it's a it's an accurate smoke
that just basically eats away at everything
Adam Curry: does. It is not good. It's not an outstanding
product people. I'm not endorsing it.
Unknown: Part two, what happened in this this arc, starting from
a year ago, and we're in federal court, they were trying to send
federal court by the way that he just got convicted. And David
Weiss, the prosecutors and prosecutor here, tried to give
Hunter a plea deal, say you know, accept liability for the
gun and tax stuff, and will pardon you for all this other
stuff that connects back to Joe and the corruption that the
American people are upset with. We sniffed that out, got it
blown up. And so here they are back at the drawing board today,
convicting him of the gun charge, but still no mouse
movements on the things that American people care about. And
what this sets up for. Not only is the misinformation that like
the law is being applied evenly in this country, but for a
portion of Hunter, they pick the sympathetic thing that you can't
or you can wrap an addiction and all those things and you cannot
connect to Joe. And it's up Joe for a part in the punter a part
in that will not only be for this charge, but for all the
things connected not only back to Joe and his family, but the
thing I'm even more concerned about in the Biden's is the
intelligence community and law enforcement who sat there and
watched this corruption happening in plain sight. Not
only did nothing but hit it, and then used every tool the
disposal of the awesome force of the US government and even some
other governments to go after President Trump which they're
still doing today. And so this is not a both sides thing. This
is corruption.
Adam Curry: Okay, that's actually a good analysis. So
they can you can pardon him from everything all crimes. Close the
book on the Biden's so
John C Dvorak: you do it's how you do it. These guys are not
stupid. No, they're
Adam Curry: they're doing a good job. Okay, here's another thing
I do when you delve into this is this, this I think we're at
level gaslighting on this Boeing thing as well. Now remember,
there's only two real manufacturers have any merit
when it comes to commercial aircraft Airbus and, and Boeing.
Both are huge defense contractors. So there's got to
be I'm now thinking that Congress is sending a big
message to Boeing saying you need to donate more money.
Because this is really I mean, the coincidence of yet another
whistleblower showing up just before the latest hearing with
the CEO. Listen to this interview with Blumenthal, who I
don't like anyway. Oh my gosh, terrible. She listened to how
she pronounces his name.
Unknown: We've got breaking news for you this morning. A current
Boeing employee is accusing the airplane manufacturer of cutting
corners. This latest whistleblower came for an hours
before Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun, will be grilled on Capitol Hill
today. And they are of course growing questions over the
safety of Boeing's aircraft, which is why he is speaking to
those on the Hill Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal
chairs the subcommittee.
She says Blumenthal
Adam Curry: I don't know. I don't know why I like it. She
corrects yourself later. So Blumenthal is doing the
interview here. He's about to grill the CEO and a new
whistleblower shows up what are the chances
Unknown: to those on the Hill Democratic Senator Richard
broomwade. Before he
John C Dvorak: say that don't have a clip. But I did watch
this. And it was Hallie, who's a great show boater big time who
went who really dug into the amount of money that the CEO is
making 36 million
Adam Curry: No, no, no, no, it was 33 it was 32.8 33 million
which of course is
John C Dvorak: well, it was still it was the way he was
brought up to stasis. Yeah, the way he was digging into the guys
money. It was like, you know, you making an awful lot of
money. Where is our cut? And I'm
Adam Curry: looking at open secrets. And they Boeing has
only spent in 2024 2.9. Well, $2.94 million.
John C Dvorak: That's not even 10% of the guys salary. Exactly.
Where's your tight? Dude, we needed 6 million for me. Where's
Adam Curry: your tithing? Look, listen to the numbers we've got
for the democratic country. A Democrat, Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee 210,000 for the Democrat
Senatorial Campaign Committee 210,000 for the National
Republican Congressional Committee to win a 10,000 The
National Republican Senatorial Committee 210,000 nothing to buy
nothing. Oh, wait 10,000 to the DNC Services Corporation, Tim
Kaine Democrat got 10 grand, and Nikki Hey, and Nikki got nothing
Mark Warner got nothing. So this is all a lot of Nothing's here,
including Biden and Trump, at least not so far. I think
they're there. I think this is a shakedown. Like you're right,
you make $33 million. You've given $2.9 million dollars.
What's
John C Dvorak: the corporation? Where's your individual? You
have to look him up individually see if he gave any money.
Adam Curry: What's his name?
John C Dvorak: I don't know. Calhoun. Calhoun's Yep. I don't
know his first name. You have to look it up. I'll find but
whatever the case, I think, yeah, Shakedown. It. This is an
extortion game and they're trying to humiliate the guy.
Yeah, doing it pretty well. In on this thesis completely.
Unknown: To those on the hill, Democratic Senator Richard
Blumenthal chairs the subcommittee holding today's
Boeing hearing. He joins me now. Thank you so much, sir, for
coming this morning. We are all very curious about this last
minute whistleblower who has come forward, you magically
spoke to him? What did you learn from him from this new
whistleblower?
This whistleblower Sam Mohawk is one of a dozen who have come to
us in recent months, and his allegations are extraordinarily
serious. He is saying that Boeing used non conforming
parts, those are parts that are defective or damaged or
undocumented and Miss tracked in airplanes, installing them, and
then lying to the FAA, about how it was storing those non
conforming parts. This kind of violation of trust is part of a
pattern of broken safety culture. at Boeing, the company
promised it would turn around that safety culture after the
two crashes that occurred in 2018. And 2019. There was a
deferred prosecution as you trumped it that, by the way,
recall, on the condition that Boeing, in effect, improve its
performance on safety and reliability. But, you know,
ultimately, we should want Boeing to succeed. It's come
Adam Curry: trust me, dude, we really want you to do well, Dave
Calhoun, but you got to pony up. I
Unknown: mean, that is key to our economy, and to aircraft
manufacturing is one of me. Yeah, exactly. Major aircraft
manufacturers in the world. I want to help it regain trust by
facing the facts and the facts are very bluntly, and deeply
alarmingly, that Boeing has failed to comply with the
conditions that it promised it would. And
Adam Curry: absent from actually I have a little bit of the
Boeing's. I have a report here, absent as far as I could tell,
unless you saw I don't see poot Buttigieg Pete Buttigieg
anywhere. Is he in there? Is he being grilled about the I mean,
ultimately, it falls under his in his port of failure, is it
not? Isn't?
John C Dvorak: It would be his apartment, he headed Department
of Transportation. He's a he's in charge of the FAA Grilli.
Well, he doesn't he can't pony up any money so
Adam Curry: instead, Jane Pauley does puff pieces of him and
Chaston in their kids at home cooking pancakes, which is not a
good luck when your planes are falling out of the sky.
Unknown: met by chance of shame as he entered the hearing room.
Boeing jail David Calhoun quickly apologized to the
families of those who died in two Max eight crashes overseas.
And promised Boeing is changing our culture
is far from perfect. But we are taking action and we are making
progress which Calhoun
came under immediate bipartisan fire
this year. That's is the moment of wreck there it is for
the max age crashes to max nine door plug blowout in January
quality control breakdowns, defective parts and
whistleblower reports of falsified documents intimidation
and retaliation. It appears
that Boeing has fostered a culture that censors people who
tried to speak up and help You're the
Adam Curry: problem. And I just hope to God that you don't
destroy this company before it can be saved.
Unknown: Today. A new whistleblower claims Boeing 737
Max assembly line lost hundreds of parts that did not meet
Boeing specs which he can claims were hidden from FAA inspectors
and may have ended up in planes and that it could lead to a
catastrophic event.
I have not directly spoken to any of the whistleblowers. Do
you think that'd be a good idea to do that? Yeah, I think it
would,
Tom, the Justice Department could still charge Boeing and
the CEO. Yeah, prosecutors
have until July 7 to decide. But Boeing is critical to the
national economy, the space program, national defense. So
the government has a lot to weigh in deciding whether to
file charges. National Defense,
Adam Curry: you know, that could also be an angle. Someone's
trying to lean on him. Maybe someone else wants to get in on
their defense action, build some different plenty of military
planes. Anything's possible. But this is a shakedown of some
sort. This is, this is not something
John C Dvorak: of some sort, just a shakedown period. It's
not any particularly different kind of ShakeDown in these guys
do. All you have to do is look at their net worth of all these
people that are in Congress, when they got in what they were
worth and then what they got became worth like, six years
later on a pretty kind of a modest salary. Somehow, they
became worth a fortune.
Adam Curry: Almost all of them. How about Josh Hawley?
John C Dvorak: I'm sure Holly's right up there with him. He's
one of the best of the group in terms of like, of showboating up
but in Congress. I mean, I find it very entertaining. He's
really good at it. But I'm sure Josh Holly's got some bookstore
and they all do is and they said it was nonpartisan. That's a
giveaway. World.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Because they're they're definitely not
doing it for our safety. Let's be honest. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
We want to make sure people fly safe. We want Boeing to succeed.
That's what they're saying. We weren't
John C Dvorak: willing to do they want him to succeed, but
they want their cut.
Adam Curry: How much you make him dude. 33 million. And you
gave us 2.9 accredited only half of that went to us. It's
cynical, but I think there's something to it. I like it.
John C Dvorak: The way I don't have any argument against the
thesis, that's gotta be what it is. Of course, I have a couple
couple of clips. I wanted to get out of the way again, more
Hunter hanging Earth. This is Robert Reich.
Adam Curry: Talks about this, you got to explain who Robert
Reich is this guy. What Nink Robert Reich is
John C Dvorak: the former labor secretary under Clinton, he's a
professor at Cal. And he's a left wing stooge. And he does a
podcast. Oh, with with his mistress, with some woman,
whatever. I don't know. We don't know that. We don't know that.
Well, that's tricky, right? I never asked her pronouns either.
But and he wears his He's like, he's a professor and he's
professorial on his end he wears this raggedy ass t shirt is like
a like a beat up old one that's in the commercial with this old
beat up and it gets embarrassed to be at a restaurant wearing
and he's that's what he wears on his podcast and I find it to be
like off putting
Adam Curry: this Why Does he even have to be on video with
the podcast? Just do an audio video
John C Dvorak: and he dances a little bit when he does a little
thing at the beginning where they play their little intro
music,
Adam Curry: the name of this podcast again. I have to get the
name but whatever
John C Dvorak: the case is Robert, you just look up Robert
Wright podcast. Thank
Adam Curry: you. Thank you for the search tip.
John C Dvorak: Cool. Well, I have coffee. It will be the tip
that could be used that coffee
Adam Curry: ship. It's the name of the show is coffee clutch.
John C Dvorak: Clutch clutch caca flash. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And he spelled with a K Yes. Que la tch Coffee
Klatch? I'm all for clams. I'm Robert Reich.
John C Dvorak: So he has his his normal talking points. And he's
part of the group of every Democrat there is going after
our Supreme Court, especially Clarence Thomas. Yes. And so
they they just put this stuff out there to just part of the
whole situation they get, you know, Alioto Elliott, not out,
Alito, Alito and Thomas are under fire. At least God used to
be the mayor of San Francisco, and Alito and Thomas are targets
because of this upcoming they haven't ruled on it to finish
their ruling on this Chevron deference. But that's what's to
come next month. We'll
Adam Curry: see that's cranking up crank it up.
John C Dvorak: So let's play a break.
Unknown: Well, what about the Supreme Court kind of a bump
stock? That's it pinion.
So basically what happened was the court threw out in a
decision led by Clarence Thomas, a ban that would have stopped
this addition to a gun and made it faster. It's why translation.
Wow,
Adam Curry: great translation.
Unknown: It's the right translation. I think no, it's
not interesting thing to me here is this isn't Not the Second
Amendment right to gun case. This is a another example of the
Supreme Court of trying to erode the legitimacy of administrative
agencies who are tasked with the job of interpreting statutes. If
administrative agencies in the federal government in the
executive branch can't interpret statutes, then who's going to
interpret the statute? So nobody? Okay,
Adam Curry: hold on a sec. Well,
John C Dvorak: I worked for an administrative agency. When I
was younger, for almost a decade, not quite. This was the
Chevron deference which says, you can, you know, these
agencies have all this leeway was in 1984. I worked there
before that even got through, how would they were operating?
How were they operating before 1984. According to him, it can't
be done.
Adam Curry: I would like to remind everybody that it was
Trump, during the Trump administration that the bump
stocks were banned after the Vegas shooting, which was
blatantly not a bump stock, which fires rounds much faster
than the belt fed machine gun that was obviously used. I mean,
we, we remember, we would disagree this, this to an
extreme everything. So
John C Dvorak: that whole was officious thing. They never
really solved it. They guy who is a gun dealer was supposedly
doing it. And he was dead somehow, the whole thing that
whole thing was, and then I think at the time, it came out
to that al Qaeda, not Al Qaeda, but ISIS or some way along these
Adam Curry: MBS was roaming around Vegas and some other
Saudi prince and there was we we do not know the full story.
John C Dvorak: Now, this story has never been revealed. Okay?
Wrap it up with this guy. So notice that they do run right
after Clarence Thomas. And they're going to do it again, of
course, and
Unknown: Thomas Intuit opinions on this bump stock and also on
the National Labor Relations Board. And Starbucks, basically
said the ministry of agencies had gone beyond their, their
official realm of power. The Supreme Court doesn't like
administrative agencies who would like instead, but either
the President or Congress to take more responsibility.
Honestly, Heather, this is this. This was was so much beyond an
activist Supreme Court, right? I mean, this is this is a Supreme
Court that is out of control. That bump stock opinion, was,
was really, in the face of what happened in Las Vegas, everybody
remembers what happened in Las Vegas. How many years ago just a
few years ago, a few years ago, 60 I
think people killed 60 People 400 injured. I mean, it was big,
because of because the the the shooter used a gun stock. The
only thing that we have done as a country with
Adam Curry: John the shooter, use the gun stock now not a bump
stock.
Unknown: Because unbelievable. shooter used a gun stock. It's
the only thing that we've done as a country to try to control
guns. And we can't even do this. I know with the Supreme Court
and Clarence Thomas,
Adam Curry: I know it in a weird way. They're kind of tying these
two things together. I think this is the clip. Because the
two things together being the Supreme Court, Chevron
deference, and oh, my Trump's going to get rid of the entire
administrative state. Oh, what's going to happen?
Unknown: I often talk about the Trump hangover, the fact that
even when he is not in power, there are still reminders
everywhere of the effect that he had on public opinion. And these
attitudes about vaccines are just one example. Oh,
absolutely. You
know what we saw a pre pandemic to now, there has been maybe
this is not the clip, but let's listen to anyone 50% increase in
the number of parents who think pre pandemic to now that routine
childhood vaccinations like measles, mumps, and rubella
should be voluntary. Just just over the course of the last few
years of this spillover effect is real spillover, and we're
seeing this depth of expertise Dr. Fauci talked about a few
days ago, the unwillingness to bind expertise, what does that
mean? We've created an unsafe environment for people as they
navigate their own healthcare journey, that they're going to
rely on supplements, things that are not FDA approved, because
they don't believe in the FDA, whatever it may be. So now we
have a bunch of individuals who are willing to take their own
healthcare decisions, leveraging the internet, or leveraging
their favorite podcast host. That's not where expertise is.
Adam Curry: There's no expertise here. Let's be very clear.
Neither John C. Dvorak, Adam curry claimed to have any
expertise in anything. You might have lived through the pandemic,
but we don't know anything. Or we know nothing. Yeah, it wasn't
that it didn't quite connect the way I wanted it to.
John C Dvorak: There was it was still entertaining. And it's
interesting because what it did point out is that there's a
number of these podcasts. Gal guy, Pa I'd casts where the
woman throws the soft balls to the guy and he goes on and
pontificates. And then she's agreeing if you listen to the
other one with rights. Oh, y'all blah, blah, blah.
Adam Curry: Gun stocks. Yeah, yep. Yep. That's actually how I
envisioned this show that you would just do that with me. But
it turned out so different. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: It's hard for me to go. Yeah, yep. I agree with
you two or three times today.
Adam Curry: I know. It's already hard. Yeah. So finally, we're
gonna do Fauci is out with the book. And he's doing the rounds.
Yeah, it's
John C Dvorak: great. I did nothing, which puts
Adam Curry: him kind of puts him in play for bird flu, although
there wasn't a lot of bird flu happening the past few days. So
we're kind of in limbo there. And I've several different
pieces. But I think the one that is most because he was on
basically did the big CBS interviews with Gail. Actually,
I'll play one clip from Gail because that was kind of
interesting. It's almost like he's giving Trump a pass while
taking credit for it.
Unknown: I read your book over the weekend. And I love how you
started. First of all,
Adam Curry: that's a lie. We know you didn't read that.
You're too busy pounding ozempic. With Oprah,
Unknown: I read your book over the weekend. And I love how you
started with Albert Borla of Pfizer calling you to say, Tony,
I think we have a vaccine and I think it works. You said your
debt can be yes. Borla
John C Dvorak: call away. Bring ray in maybe, Fauci, Fauci, tai
chi, I think we got a vaccine. I think it works that dude, you're
already it was already patented. Before the whole thing took
place. This was a scam this this, this interview is
ridiculous
Unknown: works. You said you literally sort of broke down and
had a very emotional moment because you didn't think this
would be possible that quickly?
No, I did not. I mean, this is historic in what was
accomplished. 11 months if this were 1015 years ago, this would
have taken years and years. But the combination of the exquisite
science that was put in both for the mRNA as well as for the
actual imaging or the business vaccine was just amazing.
Because you were talking about you're on the frontlines of
AIDS. And at the time, Bill Clinton said, hopefully we'll
have a vaccine in 10 years. And as you point out, we still don't
have an AIDS vaccine. But yet we have this for COVID. Yeah,
it was an amazing scientific accomplishment. And also, the
amount of effort that was put in with Operation warp speed to get
millions and millions of doses made before we even knew it
worked. That was very, very helpful in getting it done so
quickly.
Adam Curry: How about that? Isn't that interesting? Why
would he be out there saying these things? When they can
blame everything on Trump, they can make the Republicans hate
Trump. And now you say Oh, but basically saying, Yeah, I did
that I took the call. I made I made it happen.
John C Dvorak: So I'm going on in the background, it also could
be part of the Trump getting Trumpian.
Adam Curry: There was there was kind of a to have to funny two
parter very short, about Trump versus Biden, you
Unknown: spoke about your relationship and write about
your complicated relationship with former President Donald
Trump. He could possibly be our president again. Given that you
know him, personally, from a public health perspective, do
you believe he is fit to lead us?
Adam Curry: Good, interesting question. Is he fit to lead us
if
Unknown: he is elected president?
You know, I don't want to get into what's fit or not that I
want to respect the BOMA health standpoint. He missed
opportunities to use the bully pulpit of the presidency, to
tell people to do things that would keep them safe.
Adam Curry: Now, how about Biden, but what about Biden? Do
Unknown: you believe he is fit to lead us for the next? Oh,
absolutely. You know, because the first thing he did when I
became absolutely his chief medical adviser, we had a
conversation literally the first day saying we want to go with
the evidence and the truth. And if we make a mistake, we correct
it. But we've got to be honest with what's going on. Yeah, that
was his first words to me.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, brother. All right. I'm
Adam Curry: gonna give you three more their shorts. were the
first ones over a minute, but the other ones are very short. I
know. I'm breaking all the rules. I'm sorry. But sometimes,
you know, you just gotta prove there's a rule by making an
exception to it. Rachel Maddow with Fauci.
Unknown: It did seem the way the way that you describe it that
President Trump didn't understand some of the basics
about the flu and that it's a different virus than COVID. He
said to you that he didn't see why he would have to get a flu
shot. If he didn't have the flu. He didn't understand that it was
preventative and not treatment. That's true. He also said at
NIH, why can't we just use the flu vaccine to prevent COVID?
Right. Do you think he does not know what a vaccine is?
I think Now he you know, after all of the things we've told
him, the thing that I think underlies this, Rachael is that
he, he wanted it so much to be like the flu. Because
historically, the flu peaks, and it goes away in March,
Adam Curry: and it wasn't there at all during COVID. April is
gone,
Unknown: and then you could go on with the election season. But
it wasn't doing that it wasn't going away. Notice
Adam Curry: how we slipped in the election season there for
it's just, it was very interesting. I heard that
before. I'm gonna roll that back
Unknown: peeks, and it goes away in March, April is gone, and
then you could go on with the election season,
Adam Curry: then you can go on with the election cycle about
that. It wasn't
Unknown: doing that it wasn't going away. So he kept on saying
it's gonna disappear like magic. And that's when I had to start
saying, No, I'm sorry, but that's not gonna happen. And I
had to do that publicly. And then when that didn't work, he
started invoking magical cures like hydroxychloroquine, you
know, and then when it became clear, that wasn't working, he
brought in Scott Atlas, who told him everything he wanted to
hear, and it was just wanting so much for it to go away. And
figuring out if it wasn't gonna go away, naturally, I'm gonna
act like it's gonna go away.
Adam Curry: Well, that's not the way I remember it. But let's
drill down on.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember that either. This is bullcrap.
Let's drill down on
Adam Curry: hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, shall we? Was
Unknown: it dangerous for him to promote hydroxychloroquine and
ivermectin and those other viewers, suppose viewers that
don't that don't actually treat them.
John C Dvorak: But suppose when did Trump ever promote
ivermectin? I think he did. I don't think he did. Well brought
a drug see Chloroquine into the conversation? That's the main
thing he brought. He said, I've heard good things. He said, and
he was brought in by somebody else. He said it and then he was
beat that beaten to death with it. By every you know, left
winger, and he never mentioned ivermectin, I don't think I'm
deleted later. No, I'm
Adam Curry: not finding a single ivermectin clip even about that.
I mean, how about hydroxy?
John C Dvorak: beta hydroxy group meeting came into the
picture way later.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it a lot about hydroxychloroquine. But nothing
about it. We don't have any clips of Trump that I can find
talking about ivermectin. That's interesting.
John C Dvorak: Let's just make it up. Let's just say set it
because that's what, Matt I'll just say, you know, bring it in.
Because you still have to slam ivermectin because it's just a
cheap cure for a lot of stuff. So we don't want that.
Adam Curry: Oh, suppose that cure, suppose and cure? Suppose
a cure?
Unknown: Yeah. I mean, I obviously it is. I mean, I don't
want to get into how many numbers of people who would have
made a difference,
Adam Curry: but clearly, oh, it would have made a difference to
somebody, he missed
Unknown: an opportunity. Because there were people out there who
knew nothing about this, who were saying hydroxychloroquine
works. And we know that not only does it not, but it actually
hurts people. Oh, he couldn't use the bully pulpit of the
presidency, to say, Hey, listen to the scientists. But he didn't
do
Adam Curry: that. I also don't recall it. hydroxychloroquine
hurts people. But okay,
John C Dvorak: no, there was a ton of studies about it. And it
was pretty harmless. In the ivermectin even more, I mean,
there's millions of case doses of the stuff out there.
Adam Curry: And then the final clip, Rachel does does ME A
SOLID takes us right back to 2020.
Unknown: In terms of the vaccine development that did happen in
this country that you described as being almost miraculous in
terms of the pace going from when in 11 months from the
identification of the pathogen to a safe and effective and
deployable virus. Obviously, that's something that the United
States of America contributed into the world's response and
has a lot to be proud of, and you have a lot to be proud of.
Adam Curry: That's right, Rachel. A safe and effective
deployable virus right on nailed it. Thank you. I miss clips like
that. Some of these were good, some real Alright, so Fauci
takes. Fauci takes all the credit for getting a safe and
deployable virus out there within the within 11 months. I
don't know this this year, right. There's some background
going on here. That is, that is weird. Why would he even want to
have a book out? You retired? Take your millions go away?
John C Dvorak: Yes, that looks like he's pot a popper. Popper.
Popper. Popper. A poor person. A power.
Adam Curry: A up er? Yes. A popper. Popper. opposed eyes
popper a pop Halper off my Dutch pauper? A Paul bar. All right.
Anything else you got to
John C Dvorak: have? Well did Jay says you played a clip where
she's made a bunch. I do have a job. Joe Biden making this you
have to listen very carefully to what she says. But it's a gaffe.
Biden, so Gaffigan runs in the family, I guess. And here we go.
This
Unknown: election is most certainly not about age. Joe and
that other guy are essentially the same age. Let's not be
fooled. Joe isn't one of the most effective presidents of our
lives in spite of his age, but because of it
Adam Curry: isn't one of the most effective because of his
age is dynamite. Thank you, Jill. You're right.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my school by donation to no agenda.

fun.

Unknown: Good news. It's good advice John sees.
Adam Curry: Now can I mention something before you do the tip
of the day. But another competitive tip? Well, I have a

tip to my friends. What was the boomer tip your tip of the week?
The was what Ali Express?

grief and so did Brunetti. Everybody
Adam Curry: gave me I said, I said to Tina, hey, Ali
expressions. Oh, this is great. She she she talked to the My
stepdaughter in in New York. She's like, Oh, yeah, four years
ago. Boomer like, Thanks, John. Thanks a lot.
John C Dvorak: Hey, what's new to me? What am I supposed to
say?
Adam Curry: I mean, everybody laughed at me, Christina.
Remember, after the show us like I was in Dutch to
John C Dvorak: me. Mimi said why don't you plug Ki Moon.
Adam Curry: That's what everyone said to me was even newer than
Ali Express. So your tip of the week is, is you're on probation.
Oh, please. You're on probation. What's your way now?
John C Dvorak: I know he's trying to sync the tip of the
day. No, I love that. Okay, my tip is the one I gave this a tip
I'm gonna give this tip as a product tip. Again, it's an it's
a product's been there. It's been out a while and you use it
recently. I'd got you to use it because you're having trouble
with your machine. It's called the glary. Utilities is free.
It's out there. It's available. People should download it and
use it but you can also get an upgraded version but you don't
need to. It does all kinds of cool stuff. It's got g l a r y
utilities. Google it. Duck Duck go it being fine. I would use it
to great product.
Adam Curry: So I was I was thinking about yourself
John C Dvorak: said that it sped up your machine
Adam Curry: it did. I did another glary product isn't
outstanding. Although when when it said Do you know? Because you
said oh you should defrag your your drive and and the glary was
given me like oh, do you really want it? This is an SSD drive?
Do you really want it this could decrease the lifespan of your
drive?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, in the olden days, it would but
today's SSDs well with the same memory they're
Adam Curry: warning was kind of was kind of freaking me out.
John C Dvorak: I'm just saying but the problem with SSDs
womanizer bring it up here we go is that they especially the
early ones, the early old ones had a limited lifespan because
you could only read write read write to the same cells X number
of times it was very low in fact the numbers were so low in the
early days how long that nobody would use an SSD but since then
they're they're just as reliable long term as far as a magnetic
drive so I they're just worried that you may have an old piece
of crap SSD and you know just give you a little warning
because it does have to do a lot of work so as doing a lot of
reading and writing and moving stuff around and so yeah, so
after
