Adam Curry: Live, Adam curry Jhansi Tavares say June 22 2023
This is your award winning combination media assassination
episode 1566. This
Unknown: is no agenda looking over
Adam Curry: here, not over there and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm
wondering, When did Chloe Moretz become Chloe Grace Moretz, um,
Genesee Dvorak?
Adam Curry: Wow. A riddle this early on in the show. A riddle
who is Chloe Moretz.
John C Dvorak: chloro go nuts. Chloe Grace. Marissa, who is
that? She's an actress she's she's very if you saw or you
know who she was. She was on the Today Show. Our three this
morning I was watching as eating as I was eating breakfast.
Adam Curry: More interesting would be watching your show
John C Dvorak: ever?
Adam Curry: Well, you know, as we are rewatching friends, as we
do from time to time, we noticed the moment when Courtney Cox
Bitcoin became Courtney Cox Once you marry and I forgot. Why are
we even talking about this?
John C Dvorak: You I just mentioned it as an opener. i
Adam Curry: What? What did you have for breakfast? I was going
for breakfast is more interesting.
John C Dvorak: I had a pancake and an egg on top. Grand Slam
star
Adam Curry: truckers truckstop breakfast I love that.
Excellent. Well good then you're ready for it
yeah, this has got to be the biggest distraction of the week.
Everybody falling for it the most emailed articles the most
emailed and posted theories and you even participated at some
point. No, yes you did on no agenda social. It did. Yes. You
did. You're like yeah, that was my thought. Like they probably
it's probably hit job on somebody's
John C Dvorak: job guy. Yeah, job. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Pakistani
billionaire. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's the sub
Unknown: back in 2018. Industry experts expressed concern about
the Titan sub in a letter addressed to stock did rush, the
CEO of ocean gate, which operates the sub. In that letter
obtained by the New York Times and later authenticated by ABC
News. The Marine technology society warned of potentially
catastrophic problems with the Titans development that could
have serious consequences. The group insisted on oversight from
a third party organization, there has been a lot of
headlines calling this a tourist hub. This is not a tourist hub.
It must be understood this as an experimental craft, and that
there are significant risks attached to it. hemper says
after the letter was leaked, ocean gate CEO made changes he
made it more clear that it's an expeditionary or a experimental
aircraft. Meanwhile, many observers have been surprised to
learn the vessel is steered using a video game controller.
But that does not concern experts few people
are aware of is that the unit US military has happily embraced
this kind of technology. We are operating drones. We are firing
lasers and operating periscopes on US Navy submarines using
similar technology.
Adam Curry: I love the story. This is the story. Everybody
wants. Oh yeah, man. I mean, this is why we all watch space
launches. That we want to see him die. Come on, man. Listen,
we want to help me now. It will be very NASCAR theory. Yes.
It'll be very unsatisfactory. If we're not if we're not pulling
dead bodies out of a sub depleted of air. That's what we
want. The whole world is captured by it.
John C Dvorak: It's almost I had no in the mind of ever
discussing this story. But I'm glad you did. i By the way, it
was only brought into it as a response to somebody mentioning
my thesis.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but I mean, you engage man. You engaged in
the distraction of the century Game
John C Dvorak: Controller aspect of this is the funniest part.
Yeah, this
Adam Curry: show is run on a game controller. What are people
talking about?
John C Dvorak: Everything is it's a great product.
Adam Curry: Yes. We love it. The member when where's the data
glove? Bring the day the glove back. I love that thing.
Remember, people were hacking the data glove from Nintendo.
Remember that thing? That was? Wow, that thing was
John C Dvorak: cool. You have one?
Adam Curry: I have some I had one at some point. Definitely.
Definitely. Oh, I thought that thing was the best.
John C Dvorak: You know my favorite thing about this story
is the people coming out of the woodwork to talk about how
dangerous this is. And my favorite guy. Was was some
character says All it needs is it Nick in the hall? And it'll
collapse on itself.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's what we're all waiting for. And I
love the we heard we heard knocking here we heard knocking
with one of our probes that we can't find it. I mean, I had
this
John C Dvorak: supposedly somebody heard knocking from an
airplane, what was that?
Adam Curry: They dropped a probe, they dropped a probe. And
then they said, probe, the same probe, they dropped a blow to
Nord Stream pipeline. Okay, so that was one story. But the next
story, this I love this story. We've been tracking it, we've
been tracking everything from fake meat to the new cell, cell
based meat, which is this ghastly idea of extracting cells
from an animal, presumably a chicken or chicken egg, and then
growing meat in in the big vat, and then serving that as like
growing bacteria. Yes, growing cells like cancer cells. So the
USDA, not
John C Dvorak: the order he used guar.
Adam Curry: Explain gwrc. Everyone knows what it is.
John C Dvorak: It's a biscuit goo that you put in the bottom
of the petri dish to
Adam Curry: morrow to mold stuff they mined. So I'm thinking so
the USDA approved the use of this approve this. Now, that's
not the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, but the USDA
approved it. So it now can go into some restaurants. And
there's a whole new marketing tactic behind it. And I just
have to go through this because that I mean, there's money
behind this, their scripts behind this. It's identical
scripts. You're allowed to me to do a variation, if you will. But
of course, initially, this was climate change. We need to move
to protein and soy based meat, because cow farts are killing
the world. According to Greta, I think was yesterday was five
years since the world would be expire, thanks to her tweet.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, she said that the world would come to an
end yesterday. Yeah. And we're not doing that with GM. She
didn't say this yesterday. She said it five years ago, he
predicted it was going to
Adam Curry: come to an end, but it would be pretty much however,
yeah, it'd be hell. So ABC, who of course get paid the most
money. And let's see if you can figure out what the key is in
the support. And then I have three other really short ones.
And then I have the the mega native ad from NPR.
Unknown: This morning, the USDA for the first time has approved
lab grown meat to be sold to the public. So that's where it all
starts just a few cells to cultivated meat producers now
getting the green light to begin commercially selling their
chicken products. Lab grown meat is created using cells from
living animals such as fertilized eggs, which was then
incubated and grown into large masses of meat and the stainless
mass bio reactors. ABCs Devin Dwyer recently got a tour of
California based upside foods where meat is cultivated, you're
making chicken in there. Yeah. So
if you look at this, this is a approximately a 200 plus liter
tank. And we take cells from a chicken or egg takes two weeks
to grow the equivalent of one chicken 1000 chickens or 100,000
chickens. So you're saying that this factory you can make more
meat faster and cleaner than an average farmer? Well,
ultimately, yes,
the company says lab grown meat could be instrumental in helping
feed the world's growing population as meat demand rises,
while using a fraction of the land and water of animal farming
helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Critics argue it's no
silver bullet with the potential for major socio economic
implications and questions about how the meat is labeled. Many
experts say more study is needed
more research and just caution I think that a lot of companies
are going to use or present the best case scenarios
as for how the lab grown chicken tastes
alright, my first bite cultivated me
Adam Curry: chicken Yeah, okay, so the payoff is the same for
everybody. Oh, it tastes like chicken. But did you catch the
the new marketing the new marketing that they're using?
But no, not really. You take it from living animals. Not you
don't kill an animal. living animals.
Unknown: The age of lab grown meat has arrived in this
country. The Agriculture Department just approved to
California companies to sell chicken grown in steel tanks
using cells that come from an animal egg or a special bank of
stored cells. To sell cultivated chicken will first be available
at a restaurant in San Francisco and another one in Washington DC
owned by famed chef Jose on today's before hitting stores
now
Adam Curry: CBS didn't get any money. They didn't they didn't
use the script. Do you know that Chef by the way, the famed chef
he's a famous chef. Okay, well he needs to be checked off the
list. He's no good. No. I think all the fox affiliates they got
the they got the ad by the first time
Unknown: you as regulators approved this als chicken made
from animal cells. It allows two California companies to offer
lab grown meat to restaurants. The cultivated meat is grown in
steel tanks using cells that come from a living animal, a
fertilized egg or a special bank of stored
Adam Curry: cells, a living animal and this fox affiliate
took it one step further.
Unknown: The US Department of Agriculture has approved the
sale of chicken made from animal cells so cultivated
or cultured meat as it's been called as grown in steel tanks
using cells that come from a living animal comes on and
sheets and cut to mimic real meat they say to California
companies, upside foods and good meats have raised to be the
first in the US to sell meat that
doesn't come from slaughtered animals.
Adam Curry: Oh, nice variation, not from slaughtered animals. So
you could only imagine the the bubbly women at NPR we just have
a field day with this one. That NPR has slid so far downhill is
it's a this is something you'd expect from gimlet partly what
does it Spotify podcast?
John C Dvorak: If you think you're just noticing that this
has been going on for a decade I
Adam Curry: know you have you have actually accentuated this
in recent shows with these these women dingbats? Yes, I hate to
say it but they're dingbats indeed
Unknown: US Department of Agriculture.
Adam Curry: She'll start off just we've got to analyze this
she starts off serious and the minute she's no she's getting to
the story. And to her, her compatriot her
John C Dvorak: or her comedy partner and comedy
Adam Curry: comedy partner, she starts to get all jiggy with it.
Unknown: The US Department of Agriculture has for the first
time in history given a green light to two US companies to
sell meat that is grown directly from animal cells without
slaughtering the animal to she
Adam Curry: got the slaughtering the animal mean this is very
good. So she's read the the required copy.
Unknown: Until recently it was called lab grown meats and
scientists were developing it in labs. Now though the labs have
been replaced by production facilities that can grow 10s of
1000s of pounds of meat a year. Rolla, Harris Allison Aubrey has
visited these companies and tasted the meat and joins us
now.
Adam Curry: She's tasted the
Unknown: mean I'm really excited now though the labs have been
replaced by production facilities that can grow 10s of
1000s of pounds of meat a year. And BRS Allison Aubrey has
visited these companies and tasted the meat and joins us
now. Hey, Allison.
Adam Curry: Hi, there. Hi there. Hey, Alison. Hi, there's time
from serious report.
Unknown: So Alison, what exactly did the USDA approved today?
Well, for 1000s of years, eating meat has meant slaughtering
animals slaughtering
Adam Curry: animals. You getting them the marketing pitch here,
Unknown: but the scientists behind the two companies that
received USDA clearance today say that's no longer necessary.
Instead, they produce meat by extracting cells from an
animal's body, then they feed the cells and literally grow
meat in big stainless steel tanks.
John C Dvorak: Does this sound like he should be fired
immediately?
Adam Curry: Like Bill Nye the Science Guy? Female Version? I
mean, yeah, I mean, they're just jumping over this.
John C Dvorak: gushing is the word. Thank you.
Unknown: Their production facilities look like breweries
almost. But instead of beer, they're brewing meats and buying
Adam Curry: meat. Oh, yes, this is so she's a science editor. I
miss it because she's really doing a good job to speak.
Unknown: I do not know how I feel about that. But okay, let's
go on here. Hearing about me for a long time. Now. I mean, a lot
of us have eaten our fair share of veggie burgers. Burgers over
the years. But what makes this different? What makes is
this is nothing like the Impossible Burger or,
Adam Curry: Oh, John. Did you know that this is nothing like
the Impossible Burger?
Unknown: ossible burgers over the years. But what makes us
different.
This is nothing like the Impossible Burger or a veggie
burger, which are made from vegetable proteins of soy,
potato protein and a bunch of other ingredients that are mixed
together mystery ingredients that tastes like meat. What's
approved for sale today actually is meat.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's Oh, it actually is meat. Oh, okay. I'm
happy to know that this stuff you grew in, have you brewed you
brewed this meat and it's actually me three
Unknown: hands that are mixed together to taste like meat.
What's approved for sale today actually is meat. When I said
foods which is headquartered in Berkeley, they prepared their
chicken which is grown directly from chicken cells. It's more
than 99% Chicken cells. It was pan
Adam Curry: their secret ingredient and
Unknown: a lovely buttery wine sauce. Oh
Adam Curry: John. Oh, she got duped. They put this hunk of
celcom cultured precancerous goo into a lovely, lovely buttery
wine saw sluggard
Unknown: in Berkeley, they prepared their chicken which is
grown directly from chicken cells. It's more than 99%
Chicken cells. It was pan seared and a kind of lovely buttery
wine sauce.
I mean, Alison, you're kind of burying the lede here. How did
it taste? How was it?
You know, I think almost anything cooked in butter and
wine probably tastes good. What did impress me is the texture.
They've basically replicated the texture of chicken breast. I
told the CEO of upside foods, uma valetti. Hey, it tastes just
like chicken. Oh, this
Adam Curry: is this. Everyone's got the great line tastes just
like chicken. And this guy. I mean, are we sure that he's
actually the chicken growing guy, or is he the guy from
Google? I don't know.
Unknown: It is chicken. It's just chicken growing.
Adam Curry: Google, like Sundar Pichai. He's moonlighting as the
chicken guy. I'm telling you,
Unknown: it is chicken. It's just chicken grown directly from
animal cells in a different way. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it is. Right there. It's
Unknown: a lie. It is not chicken.
John C Dvorak: It's not chicken. It's a tumor. What they're doing
is growing tumors. Well, at least I have the texture was it
not a tumor?
Adam Curry: I'm in agreeance was rebranded.
John C Dvorak: Right, get it get it out of the way rebranded
quick chicken tumor tumors.
Adam Curry: Just plain old tumors. tumors in want tonight
we have tumors to
John C Dvorak: butters and wine and butter into buttery.
Unknown: It is chicken is just chicken grown directly from
animal cells in a different way in a very clean controlled
environment.
Oh no. Dr. valetti is a cardio that's also
Adam Curry: interesting how they do it's clean, clean environment
not did it mainly mainly makes you think of chicken poop. nasty
ass chickens walking around. I mean, this is actually a oh, I
should have played the jingle. feel bad about it. This is a war
on chicken.
John C Dvorak: We had to work on chicken before remember. Yeah.
But yeah. We have a jingle.
Unknown: Yeah, here it is. Here's the jingle
on chicken.
Adam Curry: We predicted this years ago that this would happen
years ago. years ago. It's
Unknown: just chicken grown directly from animal cells in a
different way in a very clean controlled environment.
John C Dvorak: Now Dr. valetti Russia. Yeah, sure. So these
journalists does and you've you've already given us ABC,
CBS, NBC. Now we're on NPR. There's one journalist anywhere,
say to that guy. Is there anything else besides chicken?
You can grow like beef or buffalo or, or Yak, or dinosaurs
or anything? Is there any other thing you can grow besides
chicken? Can
Adam Curry: we go woolly mammoth? We I think we have a
woolly mammoth.
John C Dvorak: Did anyone ask that simple question. That would
be the first thing I'd ask
Adam Curry: it. It wasn't asked per se but it came up as kind of
a toss away at the end of this report. My question would be,
can we grow human meat for consumption? I hear human meat.
Delicious. Delicious
Unknown: is good. What did impress me is the texture
they've basically replicated the texture with
just chicken grown directly from animal cells in a different way
in a very clean controlled environment.
Now, Dr. valetti is a cardiologist who became a
vegetarian but he loves the taste of meat. And he thinks
this is a better way to produce meat one that could be better
for the environment. And as the son of a veterinarian, he likes
the idea of sparing animals lives.
Oh, don't kill the chicken.
Okay, so where can people buy it or get a taste of
it? Right now don't expect to see it in grocery stores. To
start out both companies have kind of teamed up with famous
chefs upside foods is working with Chef Dominique Crenn, a
Michelin starred chef in San Francisco and good meat. The
other company that got clearance today has partnered with
megastar Jose Andres
Adam Curry: who will yeah you know these guys?
John C Dvorak: Well, this she she mentioned Dominique Crenn.
Yeah. Which is Corinne Atal Lea. The most expensive restaurant or
one of them. Definitely in San Francisco but in the world.
Yeah. Yeah, she's she bought into this. She must not be
making this mistake. Even. Despite her ridiculously high
prices that are restaurants she must be losing her ass. Do this.
Well, I mean, reputation ruined her juice. Now cooking tumors
Unknown: serve cultivated chicken at one of his
restaurants.
I mean, so why should people want this what is wrong with the
way that meats produced today? Oh, now this
is an in depth question. It depends on who you ask. So
traditional meat industry says the status quo is efficient, but
meat production has a big environmental footprint. I
talked about Bruce Friedrich who heads the nonprofit Good Food
Institute he investments in protein alternatives and says
there are more than 150 companies working to bring
cultivated meat and seafood to market
Adam Curry: so she interviewed a guy who has investments in
alternative food for some for some free standing advice which
would not be influenced by anything these people are
Unknown: working on the global demand for meat is expected to
double by 2050
did me gives consumers everything that they liked about
me, but it requires a fraction of the land requires
significantly less water and
now it remains to be seen whether cultivated meat
production can lower
Adam Curry: that guy's that guy's got to get with the
program. He is missing the boat instead of it's no longer about
climate change, buddy. It's no longer about that. It's about
not killing animals not slaughtering animals. In fact,
the title which was disappointing that didn't use
the term the title of the NPR report was no kill meat
Unknown: greenhouse gas emissions from producing meat
but what is clear is that now that cultivated meat is approved
for sale it is no longer science fiction, people will get a
chance to taste it.
All right, that is NPR is Allison. Aubrey, thank you so
much.
Adam Curry: Thank you. Great to be here. Great to be here. Thank
you. Okay. So I'll then I'll shut up. So while everyone was
distracted by no kill meat and brewing meat, massive question,
yeah.
John C Dvorak: If you're a vegan How do you take this
philosophically?
Adam Curry: I think it's okay, because you're not killing the
animal.
John C Dvorak: I don't think what if you Yeah, I'm not I
don't think that's the point of veganism.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but maybe we can grab the vegans as well.
What
John C Dvorak: about vegetarian if you're okay to forget the
vegan Cisco's vegetarians? vegetarians don't eat meat
because it's it has anything to do with killing animals that I
know Oh, yes.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Say
John C Dvorak: like vegetables.
Adam Curry: Right? But is the vegetarian is really about the
killing of animals. I mean, I don't know I think
John C Dvorak: veganism isn't it? No, I
Adam Curry: think I don't know. I I I love meat I love and I'm
like too crazy about chicken because you know, unless I get
one from local from someone's backyard. Yeah. Viable Product.
It is a terrible product. So it's most vicious terrible these
days, too. We eat beef. But now we have no no brewing. It'll be
even a better slogan brewing beef. Get on it, people will
start to brew some beef. So anyway, all of this was
distraction. Hahaha fantastic submarine brewing meat.
Meanwhile, the elites of the world, including our leaders,
were literally dividing up the spoils of war in Ukraine. And I
looked into
John C Dvorak: this they had a meeting already about re how
they're going to rebuild who's gonna get what contract and oh,
yeah, it's not even over.
Adam Curry: Oh, no. But this thing has been going on for six
years. I'll explain first now this is the report that got me
interested TRT there's the Turkish radio and television
report.
Unknown: Billions of dollars have already been pledged to
supply and train Ukraine's military. But attention is now
turning to Ukraine's reconstruction. The British are
hosting a Ukraine recovery conference in London this week.
He was Secretary Antony Blinken arrived on Tuesday, over 60
countries will be represented.
President Biden said from the outset of Russia's aggression
against Ukraine that we would stand with Ukraine for as long
as it takes. And both of our countries are deeply committed
to that we will continue to deliver on that commitment,
including through a new robust US assistance package that I'll
be able to announce tomorrow.
On Tuesday, the EU Commission announced another $54 billion
for the next four years.
This includes both loans and grants. The Preserve will
provide first of all perspective for our partners in Ukraine.
And it should also incentivize other donors to step up to the
World Bank says Ukraine will need 400 billion to rebuild the
same as Germany after World War Two, a huge task that will need
efficient coordination and private sector investment. And
that will require reassurance about kyiv's commitment to
reform and fight
Adam Curry: corruption. So he kind of gave it away there. This
used to be called the Ukraine reform Conference, which started
in 2017. That was the first one is held in in the UK. And they
changed that last year into the Ukraine recovery conference, you
could keep the same acronym the same logos. They just replaced
the word reform with recovery. You and I looked at the program
and I watch the videos and it makes no sense to listen to
them. They are talking about import export taxes taxation on
agriculture companies they're the soil contracts they're
dividing this entire country up amongst themselves with your
with our money. Oh yeah, no this is we have a grants and loans
and all this stuff. Oh yes, it's gonna be and it's all about
building back better I kid you not restoring livelihood. They
don't care about Ukrainian people how many we need to get
more workers back there to exploit the soil if this is big
agriculture in a massive way. And then we've got BlackRock and
JP Morgan, they will be handling the recovery bank. Well, what
could possibly go wrong with that? to it, this is
unbelievable. No, it's I totally believable, but no one was
really reporting on this. There's not a lot of us news
about this reporting on it now. Not even not even UK NEWS. And
everyone was their queen Ursula Blinken and I even Prince
Charles
Unknown: at Kings welcome for Ukraine's Prime Minister Denis
Shamal. as world leaders and foreign ministers line up behind
yes, we're in this together. We're in this together says the
head of the EU Commission ocean of underlying together account
how much and exactly who
Adam Curry: says there's bullcrap we're in this together
get taken our money, giving it to contractors, the contractor?
Speech it, it's crazy. It's every single big agriculture
company, you can think of all the banks, they are dividing. I
think at this point, let's just keep the war going until we've
got all the agreements signed. I mean, it's like, just what do
you think they're doing? Well, I didn't I didn't realize that
they were just I mean, now I do. I mean, we're seeing that
they're fighting over 50 meters of turf.
John C Dvorak: no agreement on that yet.
Adam Curry: No, that's unimportant. They don't care
about that. It's about all the big agricultural land and the
financing sector and I guess they'll have a tax free haven
for tech goodbye Ireland's together. We're in
Unknown: this together, says the head of the EU Commission,
Ursula von der Leyen put together to work out how much
and exactly who's paying for the cost of repair and
reconstruction for a nation still at war. before they
arrive, they were sent a clear pitch from Ukraine's president
and his nightly address,
meets the non green rebuilt Ukraine and transformed Ukraine
a strengthened Ukraine is a security carrier and a security
guarantor, Woodlands protection against any form of Russian
terror and protection against any repetition of Russian
aggression is after
the devastation from 483 days of conflict is clear across the
country. The World Bank says Ukraine's reparation effort
could cost around $400 billion over the next decade. But that
estimate was before the counter offensive. Oh meanie mark, and
the sudden destruction of the dam. And with Russia still
targeting infrastructure. Analysts say the final bill
could be over a trillion dollars.
Adam Curry: Why did they blow up the dam so we can pay people to
go and rebuild it. Of course, this is the rubble lie strategy.
The Jackals are out time to build build build
Unknown: better for the US and UK. It was a joint message for
countries to dig deep
ensure, as teams, independent nation demands not only
providing security, but also for its economy, its democracy, and
its full integration in Europe.
key to the success of the pledging conference will be how
to guarantee that Ukraine is a place to invest in the future.
The niceties in a country with endemic problems of corruption
and a possibility of a conflict lasting years. Thereafter, the
billions already spent arming the defense of a nation leaders
are looking ahead to peacetime Ukraine to ensure legacy their
health wasn't for nothing.
Adam Curry: No, listen to that. Listen to that music. It played
that music. Yeah, I was the guy in Oregon grinder with a monkey
on his shoulder outside of the conference. Oh, yeah. If you
look at all these things, all it's about tax tax tax, you
know, of course, we want a place where we can, you know, put our
our cheap workers, the ones we haven't replaced with AI. You
know, customer help, you know, customer service people, I
guess. And we want to know, tax, we want to be able to put our
banking there so that there's no tax on taxes go
John C Dvorak: in there. Yeah. You know, I think they did it.
What they did is identified Ukraine, by the way, people have
to always realize Ukraine is not a hole in the wall. It's a huge
country, in the entire country of France and German combined, I
think yeah, it's big. It's huge. It's massive, and it's largely
agriculture. Cultural and it says Dad to look at and go.
Because I when I was in Slovenia, I can notice the same
thing in the wine growing areas like these guys are ripe to be
plucked, because they like they're old fashioned. They do
things on small scales and lots of them. Just this, how will
that get rid of everything they're doing it we'll just move
our big ag in Europe and we can, you know, feed the world from
Ukraine.
Adam Curry: That's what Ukraine was doing your investment
opportunities and de risking mechanisms to mobilize private
finance in Ukraine. This, this will not go over in a country
that's wrought with war. I will point out this session will
review approaches to attract private capital at scale into
priority projects and sectors of Ukraine's economy. It will
showcase investment opportunities in Ukraine now and
in the future. And because they know the future and the
availability of support from the Government of Ukraine and
international partners to de risk projects in the form of
concessional finance or finance, what does that mean
concessional? I think that means in that case, we have to look it
up, concessional. Let me see definition of concession
concessional I think conceding, conceding something such as a
point previously claimed that is later conceded. Oh, no. So
that's like money that the show the rip off, it's clearly a rip
off
John C Dvorak: different kinds of rip off that road familiar
with obviously.
Adam Curry: We're not going to get any of that. Where was it
not?
John C Dvorak: Oh, by the way, in your point about goodbye,
Ireland. Yeah. Not only that, but no and no offense to the
Irish. We have a lot of Irish listeners and they're sharp but
the Ukraine people. They're they're always been into high
tech. That's perfect for to move tech, tax free tech into Ukraine
and then exploit their cheap coders. Well, here
Adam Curry: it is. Tech for transformation, digital
excellence and strengthening partnerships. This session will
showcase Ukraine's Ukraine's digital transformation and
vision for the future, which they already know, the
resilience of the Ukrainian tech sector and the opportunities for
international partnerships with this growing sector that you're
absolutely right. How about this one power of transformation,
building back better in the energy sector. Building back
resilient, efficient, decentralized and clean energy
system will be crucial to Ukraine's economic
revitalization and long term growth. The Government of
Ukraine will present the recently adopted energy to 2050
strategy panelists will discuss how to best mobilize
international support. That's our tax money, and enable
private investment grift to support Ukraine's long term
vision for recovery and transformation. These efforts
are divvying it all up right under our noses. right under our
noses has been going on since 2017. At least things take time.
Well, they do. And they're patient. But they're all They're
all of them are there including the big bankers, all the prime
ministers, all the foreign ministers, everybody's there.
And I love this. If you go to Twitter, or any social media
site, but let's just take Twitter, I'll do this. I'll do
it live. And you type in as a citizen arming Ukraine, those
are the words needed to type in, I will read the first hits I get
here. As a German citizen, I want to say that arming Ukraine
is the single best use of taxpayer money for decades. My
only criticism is that the West aren't sending enough fast
enough. Next one. As a citizen of Ukraine, I want to say that
arming Ukraine is the single best use of taxpayer money for
decades. My only criticism is that the West aren't sending
enough fast enough. Next one, as a Belgian citizen, I want to say
that arming Ukraine is the single best use of taxpayer
money for decades. My only criticism is the West aren't
sending enough fast enough. As a Czech citizen, I want to I mean,
it goes on and on and on. As a French citizen, same thing. It's
all boilerplate, boilerplate, all astroturf, all with Ukraine
flags and and blue and yellow hearts. In the in the profile as
a European citizen, I want to say that arming Ukraine is the
single best use of taxpayer money for decades.
John C Dvorak: Wow. Yeah, these guys are very good. They need
AI.
Adam Curry: And, and some of these have blue checks. So so
much for your system, Elon, or Elon? Musk. So and then this odd
and interesting thing that happened. Remember Oryx, that
general former General Chris All McChrystal was boasting about
the Dutch Belgian open source crowd sourcing that vaguely that
we, you know, maybe I should just play it crystal How do I
spell McChrystal? How come I can't find what how do I spell
McChrystal?
John C Dvorak: m as m is C H there's a H in there. MCH MC is
m i think is MC MC knows EMS wasn't Mecca see see H try that
Adam Curry: maybe it wasn't even McChrystal EMPs MCC H Now I
study there. Well, you got to take my word for it. So he was
saying that, you know, all all about the war in Ukraine, maybe
if I do Stanley Stanley. I don't know where this report was stand
lay. And he was saying he was so proud of, of this open source
reporting. It was kind of like a new belling cat and was called
Oryx and we went looking for the for the website, and it's
literally like a horrible domain name that you can't remember.
Well, they Alright, yeah, so they also have a Twitter
account. And they were immediately followed. They
hadn't posted much on the Twitter account since for about
a couple of years, but now they reactivated it. And here is the
post Dear all, I would hereby like to inform you that I will
be ending orcs on October 1. I originally started Oryx blog 10
years ago to cure my boredom. Little did I know Oryx would
escalate into the all consuming project that is today. Today.
All of us work on the articles and lists in our free time. It's
not our job, we don't get paid. Though I hoped our work would
one day lead to a job, no such thing occurred, or it's just
doesn't make me happy anymore. And continuing with it prevents
me from finding a happier place in life. So now, I can see where
an open source project will end. But why don't you end it now?
Why October? Why October 1. Wow.
John C Dvorak: Great. Yes.
Adam Curry: So yeah, I'm saying walk. Yeah, something something
may be happening in October. Maybe Maybe that's where it all
ends. They will or they order or something or something happens
and they don't get it or they didn't they should clearly
didn't get a renewal or someone reneged. Someone didn't pay him.
That's what they're there for. They're saying we get no money
for this. The contracts over in October. I think that's what it
is. Contract. They didn't renew. Yeah. Especially when you hear
that the Pentagon, again, discovered another one of those
nasty accounting errors.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, they just did keep. That's why they
better audit. The Pentagon. Yeah, six point they can't keep
track of another 6 billion.
Adam Curry: It's amazing. I'm so happy for Ukraine comes right in
time now that Blinken just said oh, we got another bill hanging
around. He just He is big swing and Dick over there. And in
London air. I got some money. Let me throw another bill out
there no problem. So that's what I mean by distraction of the
week and we're all looking at submarines and we're all looking
at lab grown chicken meat, brood. brood chicken. The elites
are literally dividing up the spoils of war already. They know
they know that on our dime. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I
have more about that later. But you seem to have a lot of
interesting topics too. So I want you to jump in. Give us
some goods.
John C Dvorak: It's gone with the flow.
Adam Curry: Yeah, baby. Yeah. That's why I'm handing over the
flow to you.
John C Dvorak: So I'm going with I got a bunch of Biden clips
again. Sorry about that I used to do to screwball kick talk
clips.
Adam Curry: life just gets better.
John C Dvorak: But I do have a kind of a three parter on
digital currency. They brought an expert on Oh, and I think
there's NTD and I thought it would be worth listening to
these three clips. Because there's they're all They're
educational or not exciting, but they bring us at least because
you keep bringing it up.
Adam Curry: I do. Yes. I do. Keep bringing it up. I thought
John C Dvorak: we'd at least get some somebody that knew they
were talking about
Adam Curry: like me. So thanks.
John C Dvorak: No, there's either pretty much on the same
wavelength but he's this guy's a little different. But let's
start with the with the intro, which is just a short intro to
the other two clips. The International
Unknown: Monetary Fund is working on a platform for
central bank digital currencies. The managing director argues
that the digital currencies shouldn't be fragmented by
nation What are the concerns with the IMF pushing for digital
currency and to the business as Don moss speaks to an expert in
this field
Adam Curry: now before you move into your clips, interestingly
enough, I got the 36 second clip from the IMF director, she was
not arguing she was stating a fact. And I'll play that now
just for for color if we
Unknown: are to be successful. CB DCS could not be fragmented
national propositions. To have transactions more efficient and
fairer, we need systems that connect countries. In other
words, we need interoperability. And for this reason that the IMF
we are working hard on the concept of a global cbdc
platform, to trade and to manage risks and my colleague, to be as
Adrian will talk more about it later.
Adam Curry: Yeah. So interoperability of the central
bank, digital currencies. That's what the IMF is talking about.
Yeah.
John C Dvorak: My comment is that is this.
Adam Curry: I love it. I love that you got some some experts
in on this.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so let's talk about this. And the stuff
that we're trying to do with this with this guy they bring in
the guy may not be any good, but he seems like he sounds like he
has has a handle on it.
Unknown: And here with me as Thomas Hogan, senior research
faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research,
so the International Monetary Fund wants a platform for its
central bank digital currencies. Now, before we get into the pros
and cons, I just want you to explain to me, what does it what
does it mean, exactly, to have a global cbdc? Platform?
Yeah, that's right. It's a good question. Because I think this
has been kind of misreported in some of the articles that I've
seen online because of the lack of clarity about what we mean by
platform. So sometimes, when we talk about Central Bank, digital
currency, we mean, the the platform is the currency itself.
Like, for example, if the US were to introduce a cbdc, we
might call that the platform or in Europe, if they're doing one,
maybe that cbdc is the platform. But that's not really what we
mean here, we mean, a place where people could trade
different currencies, different CBDCs. So for example, I think
we can make a distinction, if I'm an American traveling in
Europe, and there are some stores that maybe accept US
dollars, maybe I go into a store and I say, Hey, do you accept
dollars or euros? That's a question of the currency itself,
not a question of the platform. If they say they accept only
euros, then I have to say, Okay, well, do you take a Visa card?
You know, or can I transfer from my my debit card, where my bank
is going to switch from dollars into Euros? Or do I personally
need to go to a bank and trade physical dollars for physical
euros? You know, that question of how to get from one currency
into the other is really what they're talking about for the
platform here. The IMF itself is not going to launch central bank
digital currency, just help coordinate trade of different
types of currencies.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I think I agree with what he's saying.
That's I didn't think IMF was actually was the clip itself had
the title. IMF says global currency was like, No, that's
not what she said. Yeah, my trading platform. Okay. Yeah,
that makes sense.
John C Dvorak: Just to clarify it, you know, as it kind of
clarified, okay, so let's go to part three, we'll be done.
Unknown: So what concerns comes with is if there is any, yeah,
so
I am not concerned about the platform itself. Like I said, I
don't think the IMF is really going to have a lot of control
over that. And so they probably, you know, won't have much
influence other than promoting CBDCs. And that's really the
thing that I'm a little bit more concerned about is that, you
know, the IMF is trying to encourage countries to use CBDCs
in the United States or a bigger country when we might not worry
about the government misusing that. I mean, we should worry a
little bit in the United States, but much more of a concern in
China, where the government is using it to monitor all of their
citizens. So for a lot of the countries that are trying to get
better capabilities, the IMF is going to potentially be
equipping them with ways to monitor their citizens and
control their citizens. And so I'm a little bit worried about
that.
So you said in the US, we should still be a little bit worried
about cbdc. Can you expand on that?
Yeah, so the United States is considering doing some kind of
central bank digital currency, we haven't really committed to
anything. The US Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of the
United States is studying how they might implement a central
bank digital currency. But so far, they they are not planning
to do one that would be directly offered to us citizens. And so
that's a really important distinction that almost all the
countries the plan is to have individual citizens use it just
like they use regular currency. But in the United States, the
Federal Reserve has said they actually don't think that they
have Have the ability legally to do that. All they could legally
do right now, as far as they're currently saying is offered to
banks, which would then offer some kind of digital currency to
the citizens, which is essentially what they do. Now,
you know, the Fed already has a digital system for for
coordinating bank payments and having banks deposit money at
the Fed, making payments with the Fed. And so having a central
bank, digital currency that's only offered to the banking
system really wouldn't be much different than we have now. But
there is some possibility that they might change their policy
or that Congress might authorize them to offer a central bank
digital currency directly to the public. And if that happens,
then that'll be a lot different. And I think we'll need to worry
about it a little bit more.
Adam Curry: I agree. I agree that the Federal Reserve doesn't
have that can't do that legally, what they are and Chris, you
mentioned in there, well, they will Congress that I guess
Congress could change that they have the right of
John C Dvorak: Congress hates us.
Adam Curry: What the Fed is launching next month is fed now.
And that's their that's so they will be the direct clearing
house, it will go initially through bank so you will get
your fed now account from your bank. But you can pay I can pay
you directly. And we'll go through the Fed now network and
the transaction costs will be four cents per transaction no
matter what size it is, which is it's kind of going to screw up
other systems. And we'll see. We'll see where that goes. This
is interesting in the backdrop of the SEC, basically clearing
out all shit coins, all these man what they call an
unregistered securities, which I agree with they are and then all
of a sudden, Blackrock last week of this past week, registering
for a Bitcoin ETF. And this magical exchange appears backed
by the Deutsche Bank and other Wall Street banks called edX and
they're going to be an exchange. So the in the Bitcoin, you know,
spiked like 10% on all this news. I don't know there's some
it feels like there's something going on, especially when Black
Rock enters it. See,
John C Dvorak: I don't know bad actors.
Adam Curry: I don't think Black Rock is a good actor, for sure.
For sure, we'll see. But yeah, you don't need it to be a
central bank digital currency, if you're doing the transfer and
the Fed. Now, their own material says this is handy. Because if
we have another COVID Like event, then we don't have to
wait for those pesky checks. We'll just put it right into
your account. So it's the same thing. And now that there's no
ceiling on the debt we're primed we need another
John C Dvorak: didn't get pesky checks. They got it straight
into their account.
Adam Curry: That's just telling what they say. They're saying
that's it. That's their marketing is if we ever need to
send out checks again then you won't have to do that at all.
You just go straight into your fed now account through your
bank. So I thought a lot of those checks went I thought a
lot of the money went through checks. I don't know
John C Dvorak: anyone who got a check. Hey guys straight into
her account.
Adam Curry: She did. Christina got one in Europe, mind you that
was in she's in Europe, and but the stepdaughters got it got
checks. They didn't. They didn't.
John C Dvorak: I don't know anyone who got a check out here.
Adam Curry: Some trolls are saying they got checks. Some
Some say they got to I didn't get no check. I get no check.
Oh, I do Biden because then I want to play some
counterprogramming to Biden.
John C Dvorak: Here's Biden in California. This was like a
couple days ago.
Unknown: And I've toured many sites across the country.
They're clearly show climate changes is a genuine x is the
existential threat to humanity, the existential threat to
humanity and maybe most important, I've committed that
by 2020. We will have conserved 30% Of all the lands and waters
the United States has jurisdiction over and
simultaneously reduce emissions to blunt climate impacts.
Adam Curry: Did he say 2020? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Poor guy 2020 We're gonna have this these
changes
Adam Curry: going back in time. Okay, great. Love it.
John C Dvorak: Now I got Biden misspelled here in this clip
this bite does the Biden ramble. It has a bunch of different
things in it
Unknown: and a cheer for Missouri for each year for
Muslim athletes like Kareem Abdul Jabbar I know I'm gonna
zip mispronouncing Congress Omar word, Congresswoman Omar. There
you go. God love you. Another Muslim. I'm not supposed to get
in trouble for saying this project. Beautiful. Congressman,
where's Where's where's the congressman? There you are.
Okay, so do you want a job man? I appoint all those federal
judges but you know, thank you for serving. I'm not kidding.
You want to come and make a speech? Hush up, boy.
Adam Curry: Whoa, who do you say that to? Some black guy a black
guy? No, he did not did not hush up boy. Wow, was this was this
one of these things where he was talking and called she a
dictator?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't have that clip I wish well
here's
Adam Curry: I have the quick
Unknown: tonight a new Flashpoint between the US and
China after President Biden called China's President Xi a
dictator at a fundraising event. China blasting the comments as
absurd and irresponsible.
Adam Curry: Yeah, call him a dictator. Hmm, not good. Not
good.
John C Dvorak: That's what I got here is I don't know if this is
the same as the California clip. But is Biden in San Francisco.
Unknown: President Biden land in Silicon Valley? Yes.
John C Dvorak: This is just a rundown. Okay, President Mazal
play it.
Unknown: President Biden landed in Silicon Valley yesterday and
announced a $600 million national plan for climate
issues. Today. He met with tech executives and people in the
industry to discuss artificial intelligence including how to
seize its opportunity and manage its risks.
My administration is committed as committed to safeguarding
Americans rights and safety from protecting privacy to addressing
bias and disinformation to making sure AI systems are safe
before they are released. Yeah,
okay as the President Biden was in San Francisco for his 2024
presidential campaign, he's also visiting several locations in
the North Bay, including the cities of Canfield and Larkspur,
a White House official said Biden summit include experts
known for being outspoken on the impact of AI on jobs, children,
bias and prejudice and the risks posed by AI, if it isn't
properly regulated, and added that quote, US government
agencies have ramped up their authorities to protect Americans
from the risks posed by AI, including fraud and
discrimination,
as I've said before, where we'll see more technological change in
the next 10 years than we've seen in the last 50 years. And
maybe beyond that,
according to the President's schedule. Biden has a campaign
reception on Tuesday evening,
Adam Curry: I find this very interesting, this rhetoric about
AI and, and the government agencies are ramping up to
protect Silicon Valley, no doubt. But also, I think this
Altman character, Sam Altman, I think he's being positioned to
be the new Elon Musk. He's got a lot of other things go on. He's
got like, fusion energy projects, and he's doing all
these other things. You watch this guy is going to be the new,
the new tech hero, as Elon
John C Dvorak: he doesn't have the personality for it. I'll
just say flat out
Adam Curry: and Elon Musk does. Yeah. No, Altman's Okay. Well,
it may fail, but I think they're going to try this. Yeah. And you
know, and
Unknown: this, this,
John C Dvorak: like, just like Zuckerberg, he's he's just an
app personality for anything other than what he's doing.
Adam Curry: So RF, the number of
John C Dvorak: people in tech over the years and watching it
from the get go, I will say there's been so few, I mean, and
when they crop up, they're just accolades go their way.
Everything goes their way me I can go back to the days of
people like Chuck Peddle. Oh, was Chuck Peddle Chuck pills ago
designed to 6502 chip, the original chip used in the Apple
two computer and he was he was a hell of a personality. You had
Steve Jobs to some extent Wozniak has a personality
Adam Curry: bill. Gates had a personality whether you like it
or not.
John C Dvorak: Bill Gates does have a personality. And Ballmer
has a personality even though it would nobody liked his
personality.
Adam Curry: All developers loved him.
John C Dvorak: And Felipe Khan was a suit. Yeah, remember? I
mean, he's gonna build kind of a couple of empires out of
nothing. And he was in the public eye but these guys could
speak they could do public speaking and they could do all
these things. They weren't just you know, reticent. No, jet. I
want to talk.
Adam Curry: Now. We'll see Sam Altman talks. He's he goes on
all the podcasts and, and he went and did his thing before
Congress. He was it was interesting. It was full of
crap, but I know he's just all I'm seeing is a lot of
businesses that have government involvement and lying. Okay?
Just keep your eye on them. So RFK Jr did a speech in New
Hampshire. And I want to play a couple clips from it, because
he's taking a totally different approach to running for
president. And of course, he is blocked entirely whenever anyone
who's blocked by the mainstream is always interesting to us.
After the the whole Rogan challenge he, missy, you wonder
what is the headline? I had Los Angeles Times Robert F. Kennedy
and the lies of the anti vaxxers know. So that's kind of how
they're positioning
John C Dvorak: or if can make a huge mistake.
Adam Curry: Well, if he could get the you know what Trump did,
right? Is he because of all the stuff he did? They gave him all
this attention, then I don't think the mainstream will do
that for RFK. But RFK has already said, Jr. has already
said, no, no, this election will be one on podcast which I
John C Dvorak: I'm of the opinion that in 2016 Even though
their podcast and that I don't think the media scene was that
different? I kind of agree with him. I think it to me because of
after Trump and and a few years of Biden, the mainstream media
has, people are just looking askance at it a lot more than
they did in 2016. And 2016. They did to it a little bit, but not
like this, that people just don't believe these. Yes. Media
is in a downward spiral.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And with almost no ratings and be no
one's watching it. So I think the if, if if true, then his
breakthrough was probably Rogan, although that also brings up all
these, you know, he's incredible. He's an anti Vaxxer,
even his family hates him, oh, pay attention. So he does what I
think is a pretty important speech. And for a couple of
reasons. One, his voice is much better. I think we are
determined years ago, when he starts talking a lot than his
affliction gets better. And he's also invoking John F. Kennedy,
and a lot and of the days almost like that, not the Camelot part,
but the peace part. And so he had this, it was in look at it
in the show notes about 45 minutes. And he does this entire
spiel about the wages of war. And he says, what's really
happening is if you have war outside your home all the time,
then that is going to bring war inside your home and literally
inside your home. And that was that was pretty
John C Dvorak: interesting. I will make a quick comment here
on this. Generally speaking, except, you know, during these
moments of huge amounts of propaganda American the American
public is anti war. Yes. And that's how Obama got elected.
The Iraqi war was going on and Obama ran in 20 Whatever 2008 I
guess Yeah. On a peace platform, you can take it to the bank.
Yeah. If he was gonna get us out of the Iraqi war or he was gonna
get on him obey he was gonna do this was gonna do as a total
peace platform, and the Democrats really are the
peaceniks, generally speaking, it's only recently that we've
had this kind of crossover. And then they still have the
peacenik bug. The fact that the Democrats are the biggest war
mongers I've ever seen, of late, is kind of a surprise. And I
think Kennedy can bring him back to the norm or mount normalcy.
Adam Curry: Well, there's not going to be any debates. So
there'll be no exposure. Who knows how corrupt the actual
voting systems are? There's a lot of disbelief and those
across the board, I mean, if you look at any poll, right or left
John C Dvorak: driving and Gavin Newsom is also the wildcard
here,
Adam Curry: though, and we'll leave him there but this Kennedy
cat, he's got a rap that is if if the Kennedy cat if people
hear him, Hey, man, you know, he's from like, the Kennedy cat
era, man, you know what I'm saying, bro? They get a dig,
man, I dig the Kennedy cap. So he so the whole setup is this
wages of war. And he talks about, you know, if you're, if
you're warring with, you know, if you think everyone's evil,
and you're gonna have that insight, you're gonna bring that
home, right into your actual very home, you will have this
kind of division that so I'll play a clip that kind of is the
end of that. schpeel. And the question now is, are we willing
to do anything like that today? Or are we remained stuck in a
self righteous story in which America is categorically good?
At our poll, opponents are irredeemably evil. If we remain
stuck there, so will every other nation it's not only America
that's falling and falling into this employee. Stick good guy,
bad guy thinking. That's the example we've set for everybody
in the world, a wonder it's been replicated everywhere between
Israel and Iran between India and Pakistan, between Shia and
Sunni between Jew and Arab, between Hindus and Muslims left
and right, between pro life and pro choice between facts and
anti facts, this tribalistic us versus them thinking is tearing
us apart. And it's a rousing round of applause. I think was
at a school, the university so people like whatever I heard,
there was like people, yeah, wait a minute that you've seen
some good there. So now he invokes and gives us a bit of a
history lesson about his uncle, he talked more about his uncle
John F. Kennedy than his dad, Robert F. Kennedy. And about JFK
being an anti war president. And it's tearing apart our country
and it's tearing apart the world. So this, these are the
wages of war. When we take the first step toward peace, we will
become once again a true world leader, a moral leader, a moral
authority. And our example, it doesn't take much. It's just the
first step. And people will start looking at America
differently the way they did when my uncle was president. My
uncle, I pointed this out.
Unknown: In my announcement speech, my uncle was so
determined. He told us that one of his best friends Brent, and
Bradley said to him, What do you want on your as your epithet on
your gravestone and he said, he kept the peace, he said, and
Bradley asked him to explain that he said, the primary job of
an American president is to keep the country out of war, as what
he said and during
Adam Curry: not happened recently.
Unknown: During his time in the White House, he was surrounded
by military talk hawks and his intelligence apparatus, his
military brass, wanted it who were constantly exhorting him to
go to war in Laos, in Berlin, in Cuba, in Vietnam, and he'd never
sent a single combat troop abroad during his term in
office. He ultimately wanted to send 250,000 combat troops to
Vietnam, he ended up sending 16,000 advisors who are not
under the rules of engagement allowed to participate in
combat. That's fewer people, fewer men. And he sent James
Meredith one black man until Ole Miss University of Mississippi
in Jackson. Okay, now I'd like to say to that advisors, we know
what that is. That's bullcrap. military advisors are they're
saying, All right, now you point it there. Okay. And you pull the
trigger here. So, the JFK got duped, but I guess he was an
anti war president. And I'll give Trump that truth to Trump
didn't didn't get us into war. He was going to pull us out
didn't but he at least, you know, he went and talked to Kim
Jong Hoon. He went and talked to Putin. Crazy. He's insane. He
must be in cahoots with him to now RFK Putin. Now RFK gives us
a history and a timeline. That is important to remember and is
probably the reason why Ron Paul says you know, that's when when
we'd lost the country was with the killing of JFK. And this is
this goes back to one of our favorite clips, he won't he'll
he'll talk about the clip, but also about an important
presidential order a month before he died in October of
1963. He heard that a that a Greenbrae had died in Vietnam,
and he asked one of his aides to give him a total casualty list.
And the aid came back and the casualty list had 75 Americans
on it who had died in Vietnam and he said that's too much.
We're not going to have a single more American died at a high
national security order to 63 that ordered every true every US
US service person home from Vietnam was the first 1000
Leaving the next month and beginning of November and and
that he died a month later. And a week after his death. That
order was remanded and President Johnson ended up spending. I
think 250,000 troops by President Johnson President
Johnson ended up sending 250,000 troops. Ultimately
560,000 56,000 never came home including my cousin George
Skakel who died in the Tet Offensive and we killed a
million Vietnamese and You know, we had, we've we've been going
off on this path with the military industrial complex,
which President Eisenhower warned about a week before him
or three days before my uncle took off, it's in the best
speech that he ever gave in one of the most important moment in
history where he warned America. If we did not take great pains
to avoid the millet, the emerging Military Industrial
Complex would devour our democracy would destroy American
values from within. And my uncle knew that he knew that speech
and he spent the three years is 1000 days in office, fighting
against the rise the military industrial complex after his
death, we went down that path that Eisenhower predicted and
that's where we are today. And it's time now to reverse that.
It's time.
Adam Curry: Somebody likes it. So I'm listening. I'm listening
to this guy. And he goes into all of this stuff is like the
military industrial complex. And it's like listening to 15 years
of no agenda clips. It really is into one. And yeah, it rolled
into one and, and pretty concise. And he does it well.
And he talks about how we promised and he says Baker
promise we all promised not one inch towards the east with NATO.
And he says no, we didn't do one inch we did 1000 miles. And
we've completely surrounded Russia. And you know, he talks
about another one of his uncle speeches where he said, you
know, hey, you know, we didn't win World War Two, the Russians
did, the Russians defeated the Germans or you're weaken them
enough. So we could go into Berlin, which is true, which is
historical fact. And, and then he rolls out. And it's funny
because his his head is so in those days that he instead of
Boris Johnson, he says, Boris Yeltsin.
Unknown: He doesn't he doesn't correct himself. But he calls
out something else we knew we now have such a distorted and
desperate view of the other side. We won't even speak to
them to see conflict as inevitable as become the
cornerstone of US foreign policy. Two or three decades
ago, it was the clash of civilization between Islam and
the West. Today, those legions of think tanks that are funded
by the defense industry exhort us to prepare for the inevitable
war with China. A war is inevitable only if we make it
inevitable.
The war in Ukraine could have been avoided even as late now we
now know as spring of 2022 when US officials sent Boris Yeltsin
to have to scuttle peace talks between Ukraine and Russia a
peace agreement they had already signed. And not only that Russia
had already begun removing its troops from the key area, we now
know this war was this war was not inevitable. It was the
creation of a relentless mentality of foreign domination.
There you go. She said, yell, somebody meant Boris Johnson,
because that's true. Boris Johnson
John C Dvorak: brought that document out, slashed into front
of the cameras showed the initials and said this, this was
a peace agreement. And it was never it was the Russians were
implementing it. But then it turns out that we go to the
Ukrainians and forget that.
Adam Curry: So and so his strategy he has I don't think
either way.
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry. But by the way, that is scandalous that
the mainstream does not harp on
Adam Curry: that, because they're all part of it. This is
way down that Pantelis is scandalous, scandalous.
Scandalous, I tell you what so so his strategy, he doesn't seem
to have a ground game he doesn't if you go to the RFK or Kennedy
20 four.com website, there's no bumper stickers, there's no yard
signs and some T shirts. No agenda shop has more than his
shop. So I guess his strategies podcast which I know they may it
may work he's going on a lot of them he's going everywhere he
can i We could probably get him one I have one I have RFK Jr who
grill him. Grill well grill him we want to deal
John C Dvorak: with the defense industries and Big Pharma
combined against him. It's very hard to mention the intelligence
community very which doesn't have to do anything in this
case. DEA has got a prayer they're just pounding with the
with the with the overriding propaganda is an act die Vax nut
ball that shouldn't be taken seriously. And the fact that And
then the public will see that he's not taken seriously by the
mainstream media, which is the third element of this trifecta
of, of evil doers does is is the fact that he's got 25% Now in
terms of people that say they might want to vote for him is a
miracle. If it goes higher than that, I'm going to be stunned.
Adam Curry: He says he has 25% That's according to
John C Dvorak: one source. Yeah. 25% That's the Democrats are the
Democrats. Okay?
Adam Curry: Well, I'm hearing a lot of Trump errs going, hey,
yeah, we need Trump and Kennedy ticket that'll do it. I'm like
dream on. That'll never never, never. But I have to say this
anti war message might connect if enough people are killed. I
mean, you're right it's there's still 30% of the world at least
the United States for sure who are walking around with you have
masks on in the car, there's so mind control. But when you go in
and I was watching
John C Dvorak: some TV, local TV thing, and they had they were
interviewing a couple that owned a restaurant and so ever no
one's wearing a mask except the restaurant owners. And there are
a couple it's like they're married and they're wearing
masks sitting next to each other.
Adam Curry: No, he did have a an appearance on Newsmax with Greta
Van Susteren, my how the mighty have fallen.
John C Dvorak: And this is just, this is almost a carnival, the
why
Adam Curry: and this is about bio weapons.
Unknown: But what what I worry about is is a WMD like a virus
like a gain of function something? Do you worry of
Greta, you ignorant sloth about that? Because I see that as sort
of the next the next big fight because, you know, those viruses
don't see any borders. And they're relatively cheap to do
this gain of function. I mean, it's just that's what I worry
about more than the big hardware.
Yeah, you're exactly right. And we know that the Chinese are
developing ethnic bio weapons or bio weapons that are designed to
attack people of certain racial types. And the and we're doing
the same thing. We've been collecting Chinese DNA. We've
been collecting Russian DNA specifically for that it is arms
race is a character to Hashmi. You know, in 1969, we had
developed by then nucular equivalency with bio weapons, so
we could eliminate the same numbers of people with bio
weapons, I think 29 cents a death, they calculated the
Defense Department and the CIA calculated at that time.
President Nixon did the most extraordinary thing. He went to
Fort Dietrich, and he said we are unilaterally ending the bio
weapons arms race, we are giving up all of our bio weapons, we're
going to destroy them. We're going to disable the capacity at
Fort Dietrich, and we're not going to make them anymore. And
three years later, almost all the nations on the earth signed
a charter stopping bio weapons production and and the problem
was, the CIA continued to do secret bio weapons production
our country, the Russians found out about that and rejigged
their program. And then after 2001, we passed the Patriot Act,
which reopened the arms race, which basically cancelled out
Nixon's 1979 agreement treaty and launched a new bio weapons
arms race, and everybody else in the world is doing it. And the
impacts as you point out, Greta are horrific. Yeah. And then
there we are with COVID, whether it was Wuhan lime for Dietrich,
and wherever it came from, everyone's pointing the finger
at trios where they do it. And then of course, we know now that
there were quite a few us admitted by Vicki Nuland, US Bio
Labs in Ukraine. Yeah, that's the kicker and check it out. So
the Russian defense ministry gave a briefing on US military
and biological activity and they have they have receipts they
showed documents acquired when they when they went into all the
Bio Labs and you know, scooped
John C Dvorak: up they overran them scooped up the document
read that fast
Adam Curry: documents acquired during the special military
operation proved the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
connection to the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency and its
key contractor. The meta biota company, admitted by Oda was the
company that Hunter Biden played a role in funding for these Bio
Labs in Ukraine. I mean, this stinks to high hell, all of it.
John C Dvorak: Well, let's stop there for a second and consider
something I'm like, constantly consider, which is that the
whole Hunter Biden episode, the craziness, and then there's
recent slap on the wrist and all the rest of it and all the stuff
that You know, Biden supposedly did, it just sounds so much like
that, sonny, that guy that used to be the gangster in Boston
that was working for the FBI
Adam Curry: with Whitey Bolger Whitey Bolger.
John C Dvorak: And it's just as though they've given these guys
have been working for the FBI CIA who knows who, and they're
covered. That's why the DOJ, nothing is ever coming of any of
this. There's got to be a reason that nobody is doing anything
about the comer investigation where they're finding all this
money flowing into the Biden family and Biden living in these
mansions. And it's just, there's, there's absolutely
zipping done. There has to be a reason is not because Biden is a
nice guy.
Adam Curry: No, no. I think Hunter Biden is the key. If they
unravel that guy, they unravel a lot. He's covered. Yeah, well,
John C Dvorak: let's listen to happening.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to the pixie girl on the Central
Intelligence Broadcast Systems.
Unknown: As part of the Hunter Biden plea agreement. Three
charges were filed in a Delaware court to misdemeanor counts of
willful failure to pay federal income tax on annual earnings in
excess of $1.5 million. A third count possession of a handgun by
a drug user would be dismissed if Biden remains drug free and
commits no additional crimes during a specified time period.
A source familiar with the term said Biden's legal team expects
probation not jail time, though final approval rests with the
judge.
I think the judge is going to do what's fair. And I think what's
fair is, you know, my client gets on with his life.
David Weiss, the US Attorney in Delaware who led the probe was
appointed by then President Trump and left in place by the
Biden administration. In a statement why said the
investigation is ongoing. But Hunter Biden's team sees it
differently. My understanding is that we're done. Traveling in
California President Biden was asked about the news
and we're proud of our son.
Adam Curry: That's the court of the century.
Unknown: The news I'm very proud of my son.
Hunter Biden spoke about the federal investigation on CBS
Sunday Morning.
I'm cooperating completely and I'm absolutely certain 100%
certain of the investigation that I will be cleared 100
frickin
percent.
Democrats hailed the agreement as a sign of the Justice
Department's independence Republicans cried foul. Former
President Donald Trump arraigned on criminal charges last week,
said Hunter Biden was given a mere traffic ticket.
Do you think this is another example of a two tiered system
of justice in America?
Republican Congressman James Comer leads the House Oversight
Committee, which is investigate by
Adam Curry: the way I love how they do this. So you know, they
pull in Biden quote, I'm very proud of my son. And President
Trump said and all they do is the question they don't do the
answer. Just the question,
Unknown: Said Hunter Biden was given a mere traffic ticket.
You think this is another example of a two tiered system
of justice in America Republican content, even
Adam Curry: his answer? This isn't this is incredible
reporting. Trump said this, but we only hear that the question
Unknown: will trump the range on criminal
John C Dvorak: where they're structuring it? Yeah, it's
Unknown: good charges last week, said Hunter Biden was given a
mere traffic ticket.
You think this is another example of a two tiered system
of justice in America.
Republican Congressman James Comer leads the House Oversight
Committee, which is investigating the Biden family's
foreign business dealings, a probe disputed by the White
House. Well, you call the US attorney and Delaware to
testify. I would
expect the US attorney to testify in front of the House of
Representatives very soon. He needs to explain whether or not
his investigation is concluded.
Gene Rossi, a former Justice Department official who handled
tax cases told CBS News that failure to pay tax on more than
$3 million, even though now repaid is a serious violation.
If this were
hunter Smith, instead of Hunter Biden. I think you would have a
very much more aggressive prosecution.
Adam Curry: So this is something I think I feel like the country
is kind of locking into it's like, hey, wait a minute, this
two tiered justice system, you know, even herridge can't get
away from it. NBC had a
Unknown: shorter report. Tonight after a five year investigation,
the president's son Hunter Biden has reached a plea deal with
federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax
charges and likely avoid prison time. Prosecutors say Biden did
not pay more than $100,000 in taxes on over $1.5 million in
income in both 2017 and 2018. And two sources tell NBC News,
the prosecutor will recommend probation while also agreeing
not to prosecute Hunter Biden for illegally possessing a
firearm. Even though Biden knew he was barred from doing so
because he was using drugs. Biden faced a maximum of two
Well of months behind bars for each tax charge and up to 10
years for owning the handgun.
I think what's fair is, you know, my client gets on with his
life,
the former president tonight accusing the Biden Justice
Department of giving Hunter Biden quote, a mirror traffic
ticket, our system is broken. top Republicans argue it's
evidence of a double standard.
Adam Curry: So what they've done, Republicans and Democrats,
unit party people, they've moved the conversation away from the
true crimes of the Biden crime family, and all this all the Bio
Labs, and I mean, they are involved. And I think what
happened, you know, it's a sophisticated operation. Ukraine
has been used for all kinds of things for decades and decades.
You know, even the, the, the the DNC server went to Ukraine, I
mean, all this does with Ukraine was just it's where you go for
all kinds of criminal activity. And the problem is, the Biden
crime family are just Grifters. And they screwed up. It's like,
oh, well, we got these guys. They die. We can't have them
blow it for us. Is this is this the Bonanza over here? We're
divvying up this country. We can't have that. So let's talk
about dual standards. Yeah. And then what are the Republicans
do? Or whatever they haul in? And they haul in Durham? You
know, oh, let's talk about that. And let's talk about how I have
a,
John C Dvorak: I have an alternative clip of this, of the
hunter thing. And I don't say please, still does the hunter
rundown and NTD. But I still think that they're protected is
everything that we're witnessing is just an example. And I'd like
to know, by the way, how you can make $1.5 million and only pay
$100,000 in taxes. How does that work?
Adam Curry: Well, maybe he wrote off all the hookers and blow. I
mean, he could say that, like,
John C Dvorak: you know how you make $1.5 million. He and He did
it for two years ago back who knows how many years but those
two years that are under investigation, he must have done
it more in just two years now. Make a $1.5 million paid. Don't
pay don't even file hell with it. Yeah. And then they they
bust you and you had to pay 100,000? Yeah. Does anyone do
the math on this?
Adam Curry: No. Why would we do that? No one's paying tax except
us. This should
John C Dvorak: be 38% of the 1.5 which is at least at half. You
know, it's almost three or 300 500 or $500,000? Not
100,000? No, but
Adam Curry: you know, again, it was all you know, and they
usually had penalties. Where's the penalties? No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. See, that's where instead of smelling the
rat people go to tear justice system. And that's what gets
everybody off track. And look, I'm still on Twitter. I see it
is true to Joseph says do man. Okay,
Unknown: President Biden's son Hunter plans to plead guilty to
two tax crimes, and has struck a deal with federal prosecutors to
resolve a felony gun charge. And today's Iris Tao brings us more
from the White House
and federal prosecutors charged Hunter Biden was in failure to
pay income tax and felony gun charge of illegally possessing a
firearm while knowing that he was addicted to using drugs.
According to court documents, Hunter Biden is expected to
enter a plea deal basically pleading guilty to two
misdemeanor and tax crimes. But when it comes to the felony gun
charge, he's expected to enter what he calls a diversion
program through which he could walk away with no jail time, or
even a felony record. If he stays sober for two years and
gives us the right to ever own a gun again,
if you are the president's son.
He will house speaker Kevin McCarthy today criticize what he
calls a two tiered justice system. And he vows to continue
do peace investigation into the Biden family and this business
dealings.
DOJ should not be able to withhold any information now.
But a top Democrat on the House Oversight Panel today called the
charges against Hunter Biden a reflection of the DoD
independence, and that says former President Trump who's was
indicted with 37 federal charges and calls Hunter Biden's charges
in New York traffic ticket. And today President Biden said
I'm very proud of my son. A White House
spokesperson says today that the President and the First Lady
love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his
life while adding we have no further comment. Meanwhile,
although Hunter Biden's or Tony says today's announcement marks
the end to a five year investigation into Hunter Biden.
The DoD later said on Tuesday that its investigation into
Hunter Biden is still ongoing.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well that is just saying that to keep their
power Whoa, you know, we might do some it is all and and also
this incessant reading of the law. Action is not for a year
and a half and elbow. Brewer was going to be president is going
to be who gives a crap it's going to be president. What's
happening the President is not the king, the emperor of America
he has limited power see Trump now he what he did he did what
he did he's Supreme Court federal judges tried to do
everything else was his downfall talking to Putin talking to to
North Korea talking to the Saudis all that was you know,
the military industrial complex dia whatever it is, it's all
taken people down it's just not that important you know, your
mail your your governor your your city council your school
board that's where you got to focus on these in America at
least we're a federated system of states you still have power
people just sucked into this. Whoa this guy that guy Red Team
Blue exactly what what RFK Jr said so then we have the new law
let's just go back and let's as we say in the old country, drag
some old cows out of the canal. And let's let our cool out slow
that in Dutch and our cool out slow Tyler is dragging Oh cow
out of the canal.
Unknown: The Dutchman great one
Adam Curry: off cow out of the canal.
Unknown: Here's NBC News report and on Capitol Hill, the former
special counsel investigating the FBIs Russia probe against
then candidate Donald Trump telling lawmakers his findings
included sobering missteps by the FBI. Jared Hake. Now with
that story.
Special Counsel John Durham facing a five hour grilling,
grilling, he's explosive conclusion that the FBI acted
improperly in its opening of the 2016 Trump Russia probe. We
found troubling violations of law and policy Mr. Durham
arguing that the available evidence did not support opening
the full investigation known as crossfire hurricane,
the FBI opened up crossfire hurricane without speaking to
the people who provided the initial information. Is that
true? That's correct. Was there adequate predication for the FBI
to open crossfire hurricane as a full investigation
on July 31. And my view based on our investigation that was not a
legitimate basis to openness, full investigation
and Durham saying he found anti Trump sentiment among the FBI
brass who launched the investigation. There are some
individuals who clearly expressed a personal bias. The
Mueller report ultimately found no conspiracy between the Trump
campaign and Russia but resulted in 34 People criminally charged
Democrats noting Durham's four year investigation produced only
three criminal cases, including to acquittals and accusing the
bill Barr appointee of running political interference for
former President Trump.
Adam Curry: So what comes out of all this as far as I can tell, I
don't know if you have any clips. But the we have a when
everybody we are censoring. We are censoring Adam Schiff of
California. And it's like, oh, yes, he's been censured. And if
you look it up. In the context of the United States House of
Representatives censure refers to an official reprimand formal
condemnation of a member for misconduct and inappropriate
behavior. Nothing else happens?
John C Dvorak: No, of course not. This goes on every so often
it's supposed to be a review.
Adam Curry: Yes, it's all a rebuke slap on the wrist. It we
disapprove of how you handled everything. Adam Schiff.
John C Dvorak: Good to have one Dirham clip from NTD.
Adam Curry: But yeah, let's play the drum and TD Here we go.
Unknown: So Chairman Mike Turner and ranking Democrat member Jim
Himes came and spoke to reporters immediately following
that meeting with special counsel, John Durham. And it's
interesting because they had pretty much a bipartisan
consensus of wanting to address the mistakes that the FBI made,
in that in launching that investigation against former
President Donald Trump and expressing a wish to find
solutions moving forward. Let's look at what they had to say.
It was interesting to hear from Mr. Durham, that he has concerns
that there are reforms that need to go into place and that there
are still issues that need to be addressed. And he was very
forthcoming and sharing with us and I think that we were able to
get some information that would be very helpful for us and the
work that we have to do on both FISA renewal FISA reforms and
also reform issues with the FBI, and appreciate my ranking member
Jim
Ward essentially says that the FBI made serious mistakes when
launching that crossfire hurricane investigation into
former President Donald Trump because they lacked sufficient
evidence to even open the investigation to begin with.
Instead, the information that the FBI did have was based on
individual sources who were politically biased and those
facts went unchecked, even when the FBI did come across
information that was contrary to that information coming from
those indices. jewel sources they still dismissed it and
continue to launch that investigation. Now, of course,
we've heard from many Republicans. They pointed to
this Durham report saying that it's proof that the FBI has used
their power to target political opponents, specifically former
President Donald Trump. Of course, this is a similar
argument that we heard just last week during Trump's second
arraignment. Now, the FBI has responded acknowledging that
they did make mistakes with that crossfire hurricane
investigation, but have said they have since taken steps to
prevent mistakes like this from happening in the future and have
also said that the FBI officials involved in the crossfire
hurricane investigation have left the FBI either by retiring
or being terminated or having resigned. Oh, yeah, nice and
Adam Curry: tidy. All right. Okay. So
John C Dvorak: now I want to read something from a Democrat.
This is a newsletter that comes out on Saturday called a letter
from an American and I always like I subscribe to this because
one of our
Adam Curry: why wouldn't use it because you need to have good
information on all sides. Of course,
John C Dvorak: one of our producers was pitching and one
of his letters about how his wife won't come around to listen
to no agenda. And, and he cited this newsletter, she reads it
religiously and believes every bit of it. And so I'm just going
to read just a bit of it discussing the Durham report and
the testimony at Durham hat. And just to show you, where the
typical hardcore Democrat is concerning the Russian
investigation because it keeps cropping up. But Democrats on
the committee pressed him on the facts of the Russian
investigation itself. And he seemingly somewhat reluctantly
agreed under oath in response to question by Representative Adam
Schiff, that the facts of the Muller report and the Senate
Intelligence Committee report were correct. Russia interfered
in the 2016 election for the benefit of Trump. Trump's
campaign welcomed the help and shared information and secret
meetings with Russian operatives, and the FBI was
justified in investigating that interference. Now, this is not
what anyone else is hearing. But this is what this the core of
the Democrat Party believes sounds
Adam Curry: like it was written by Nicole Wallace.
John C Dvorak: It's a lie. Yeah.
Adam Curry: That's not at all what I mean, we know a couple of
things from the Muller report. We read it all we deconstructed
it, it was disappointing for people that you know, they
couldn't hang Trump on it. We also learned that the no agenda
show is the best podcast in universe that was also in the
Muller report. It was in there it was in there. Yeah, that's
why. So then
John C Dvorak: it's a lie, but they just spew it out just like
this. Yeah. And it's just and it goes on with this. It's more
about how Russia and Trump is they're connected. And they're
going to somebody's point on this on one of the talk shows, I
can't remember which one it was dot bungee G knows, damn radio,
Sham bungee. And he says that there's no way that you're not
going to revisit this because it works so well to just associate
whoever the Republican whoever a Republican is running that with
Russian interference. And they stick with it. Underlying
everything we're talking about and everything and all the
ghosts and all the realities. What I just read underlies
everything and it stays there.
Adam Curry: And it's been that way for for decades and decades.
It goes all the way back Russia, communist Russia, Cuba, on and
on and on. It's all that's always been the Boogeyman. So
there was one moment in this in this hearing, where I forget who
it was skies, just like, man, if you're shilling for Trump for
Trump, you're gonna lose everything. Your life is over.
You better quit it.
Unknown: Yeah, good. John. We've now entered the fifth hour of
this hearing where we continue to hear questions from members
to the Special Counsel, John Durham and what's been a very
partisan display up until now while Republicans have chosen to
focus on the contents of his report. Democrats have tried to
discredit John Durham's findings and even attack his character,
you have a good reputation. You had a good reputation. That's
why the two Democrats supported you. But the longer you hold on
to Mr. Baugh and this report that Mr. Barr gave you a special
counsel, your reputation will be damaged as everybody's
reputation who gets involved with Donald Trump his damage,
he's damaged goods, there's no good dealing with him because
you will end up on the bottom of a pyre.
My concern by my reputation is with the people who I respect my
family and my Lord. Lordy, and I'm perfectly comfortable with
my reputation with them, sir.
Adam Curry: So your reputation will be gone. You'll be nothing
in this town. That's what they're all afraid I work that's
what they're all Write up. I do have to play this. This clip
from Brett bears interview with President Trump. Brett bear was
out for out for blood. And I think he drew some and I and he
embarrassed the former president many times with what he was
saying. And he just I have to say he just ran circles around
Trump and Trump wasn't expecting it. I don't know that he still
thinks that Fox News was was on his side. I
John C Dvorak: believe that's true, because he said it can
number of times that he knows that Fox News This is
Adam Curry: well he wasn't prepared for it. Unless this
this was I mean, bear did a lot of interesting things with boy.
John C Dvorak: Go ahead to discuss this little aspect. I
think Trump's still thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and
he can be tricked.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. So he can be tricked. Anyway, listen to
this. Your Vice
Unknown: President Mike Pence is running against you. Your
ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. She's running
against you, your former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
said he's not supporting you. You mentioned National Security
Adviser John Bolton. He's not supporting you either. You
mentioned Attorney General Bill Barr says you shouldn't be
president again. I called you to constantly narcissist and
troubled man you recently called and borrow a gutless pig. Your
second defensive posture is not supporting you called your
irresponsible. This week. You and your White House called your
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, weak and ineffective and
born with a very small brain. You called your acting White
House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney a born loser. You
called your first Secretary of State Rex Tillerson dumb as a
rock and your first Defense Secretary James Mattis, the
world's most overrated general, you called your White House
press secretary Kayleigh Canady milquetoast and multiple times
you've referred to your transportation secretary Elaine
Chao as Mitch McConnell's China loving wife.
I will tell you that something happens when people leave, they
can like me very much. I have this woman named Alyssa Farah.
She said the greatest things wrong after she left. He's the
greatest president we've ever had. He was unbelievable.
Unbelievable. Then the view offered her a contract. But
obviously, only if she changed your views. And all of a sudden
she can say negative things. Money gets offered to people and
some people change.
Adam Curry: This is not the only the answer. Now, he says it.
Yeah. Well, she was barraged yes he was but he was like I'm I'm
great at firing people. He's pretty good at firing people.
I'm not good at hiring people. And by the way, we're gonna say
that No, and he should he should repent for Operation warp speed.
Not maybe for doing it because that wasn't necessarily wrong.
But he should say, you know, that didn't work out too. Well,
that stuff is not good. This
John C Dvorak: pant for not pardoning Julian Assange.
Adam Curry: That would be a big one for us. Yes, for sure. It
John C Dvorak: also probably should have also Snowden should
have been on the list. But
Adam Curry: also, it feels to me like he's, he's thinking
simplistically about America has grown up. Thanks to him.
Actually. We have grown up. There's a lot of people who,
Paul, the septic guy called me yesterday and you know, had some
question about his generator. And he's like, you know, man,
like Buell right there, Ronnie D, he's no good. He's Wall
Street guy. But when I Trump behind, I don't know what to do,
that people are confused because now they start to understand the
issues. They're seeing what's going on. Now Trump is right
about what he predicted about the economy, etc. But that was
easy to predict because of all the money that was printed. Then
he was there. You know, he saw it, he actually brought the
Federal Reserve closer into the treasury than it ever was
before. And it's just he if you could get a sentence out and
explain things calmly and not always being just, you know, I
create a more consistent Rumi's
John C Dvorak: invitation to me. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Really, I picked it up from her. Yeah. And so if RFK
Jr, who's I think people could be a single, that could be a
single voting issue. The only single voting issue we have in
the United States right now is abortion and maybe trans rights,
but everybody could be it against war. Everybody could be
against it and Trump can do this he has a reason or he has a
record with this now in Kennedy Jr. He
John C Dvorak: has a right he has a positive record very good
right issues war being one of them. Yeah, but instead he gets
down into eating or he can't seem to bring himself up to the
level of like ever Kennedy and be philosophical in a way that's
meaningful. I mean, now there is a an example I have a son a lot
it was on the last clip list. It was last show okay of him
discussing the education system calmly and and I don't know if
it's on this clip list or not Trump
Adam Curry: but you have to go over Trump on education played
it play this.
John C Dvorak: This is a policy discussion that is great never
got played anywhere. I've there's other examples of stuff
like this and it just is not what they want from Trump.
Unknown: For many years tuition costs and colleges and
universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely
exploding. While academics have been obsessed with
indoctrinating America's youth. The time has come to reclaim our
once great educational institutions from the radical
left and we will do that our secret weapon will be the
college accreditation system. It's called accreditation for a
reason. The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools
are not ripping off students and taxpayers but they have failed
totally. When I returned to the White House, I will fire the
radical left to creditors that have allowed our colleges to
become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics. We will
then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real
standards on colleges once again and once and for all. These
standards will include defending the American tradition and
Western civilization, protecting free speech eliminating wasteful
administrative positions that drive up costs incredibly,
removing all boxes Diversity, Equity and Inclusion bureaucrats
offering options for accelerated at low cost degrees, providing
meaningful job placement and Career Services and implementing
college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are
actually learning and getting their money's worth.
Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue
federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to
engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist and
explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will
not only have their endowment stacks, but through budget
reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to
the entire amount of their endowment. A portion of the C's
funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these
illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country.
so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars
from hard working taxpayers. And now we are going to get this
anti American insanity out of our institutions once and for
all. We are going to have real education in America. Thank you.
Adam Curry: Great policy statement. Couple problems. One,
he's dividing left as Democrats, you know, you know, that if
you're not going to win the whole country with that same
with with DeSantis, with his anti woke stuff, you can I'm not
against what he's saying. Of course, of course, the schools
have become discriminatory, but the President shouldn't even be
involved in the school in Fredericksburg, that should be
the Fredericksburg people. And to a large degree, they have
that right and they are actually taking that you know, they
they're making use of that. I think Americans and maybe people
all over the world are tired of the government people at the top
saying we're going to do this we're gonna fix this we're gonna
fix that. And they all hang on for dear life, and nothing
happens because the President is not the king. Now and then he
hires a who would Pritzker Pritzker do cheval deuces from
the douche family. I haven't forgotten that. It just doesn't
make any I like the Marxist Maniacs and lunatics that are
like that's clearly a problem. Now
John C Dvorak: well, you can't do much on the local level with
schools like Harvard it's not really
Adam Curry: I understand the government I understand that but
just schools in general this this problem is not well, I
guess it is because what the who's who's funding the schools?
It's it's the big endowment. That's where all that comes
from. You can't stop that.
John C Dvorak: No, no, it's the high tuitions the endowments are
accumulating. They're not nobody in funded. The Italian Downey
endowment
Adam Curry: determined the curriculum. They say we'll give
you this endowment but you've got to do this curriculum.
That's the way I understand it. But I'm just talking about the
lower level just the kids who were being indoctrinated told
their boys and girls when they're not.
John C Dvorak: Well, which brings me to my top clips here
we talk talk to talk.
Adam Curry: Before we go there, kind of just say one thing
someone gave me a theory that I thought was really interesting
just relating to the the Biden crime family. What if 10% for
the big guy? What if the big guy is Obama? And we're just miss
misinterpreting that to be Joe Biden.
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the reason I don't think that's the
case. So I liked it. Because because Obama's a newbie came in
out of the out of the blue is a good coordinator from some
charities in Chicago. Biden goes back 50 years and they're one of
the most corrupt states of the country,
Adam Curry: Delaware. Good point. Okay. I'm just throwing
it out there. Just that we got to keep it. There's a thread
somewhere there's
John C Dvorak: maybe that that during the Obama administration
Biden was running it for all we know could be a fact that let me
get off track and go away from tick tock for a minute and bring
it up. I have this this thesis about Biden always being a gun
day, you know, the, the chin, the guy around the gentle AC
Family walked around the
Adam Curry: village and dance peeing his pants in
John C Dvorak: his underwear, mumbling to himself, made me
listen to this clip. This is Brooks on the Biden
Adam Curry: books. On the Biden
Unknown: point, President Biden told reporters today that he has
not talked to the Attorney General about this case and will
not talk to him about it.
And that's not really appropriate. I would say even
longer term though I do think Biden is still under exposed. I
think his staff is still over protective of him. And he's much
smarter in public than a lot of people think, and private. And
so I do think they need to let him get out more because it's
just not good for the presidency, for him to be that
much in the shadow of Donald Trump. And that's been even
without the indictment.
Couldn't he tell them that? Could he tell his staff that if
he felt that way? It's been said to me that the President
believes that when you empower people to do their jobs, you
listen to their advice, but if he agreed with you, couldn't you
tell them hey, I
don't need to be so protected.
You would think so. And I will say from what I hear inside the
White House, he's not a doddering old grandpa. He's like
could be a very tough mean guy, a very harsh boss sometimes. So
he couldn't say that but you know, he might he might be
trusted and maybe he wants to be as quiet and frankly as as
closed in as he has been.
Adam Curry: You've this has been your theory previously about the
agenda of AC What is it the the old mafia guy?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, gigante. I like it.
Adam Curry: i To me, it feels like there's a thread somewhere
and it was someone pulls this one thread it all comes.
Everything comes undone and I think the only way If he truly
is the mob boss, and he's really he is the big guy. He has to
call the hit on Hunter. Then out of the blue and I'll be waiting
with your theory someone's got to do it. Hunters a liability.
John C Dvorak: Liability. I'm not done. There's no denying
that you know,
Adam Curry: and and if I love my son, Mm hmm. So no one wants to
kill Hunter. I'm just theorizing here.
John C Dvorak: No, I'm it. It's a mob thing. It's a mob thing
would happen
Adam Curry: and and beef is truly the Abraham here of the
mob family. He's gonna have to sacrifice his kid. He's gonna
have to do it. If he does that, then okay, well, by the way,
then it's all over. Then America's done for
John C Dvorak: well. We're gonna go back to play to talk thing
again. We're reset tock tock, tick tock
Adam Curry: where we're resetting everybody.
John C Dvorak: Now, before we again, I'm gonna do a site. I'm
going to do before we play any of these top tips. I want to
play something that Mimi got for me. Okay. This is no you have to
remember this is millions and millions of kids used to love
Mr. Rogers.
Adam Curry: It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Of course,
I used to watch Mr. Rogers.
John C Dvorak: And you know, it has to miss it. It had to have
some influence. I want to play this is a song from one of his
albums and like any obvious I never watched him mostly. I
don't know. I missed him. Yeah, I couldn't put up with him.
Adam Curry: You were a rambling teenager. That's why
John C Dvorak: I'm telling you. So. But listen to this Mr.
Rogers selling
Unknown: some are fancy on the outside. Some are fancy on the
inside. Everybody's fancy. Everybody's fine. Your body's
fancy. And so is my boys are boys from the beginning. When
you're born a boy baby, you grow up to be a bigger boy. And then
a man. Girls are girls right from the start. When you're born
a girl baby. You grow up to be a bigger girl, and then a woman.
Everybody's fancy. Everybody's fine. Your body's fancy. And so
is my girls grow up to be the mommy. boys grow up to be the

Adam Curry: heresy I tell you heresy
John C Dvorak: bruising a gig K cruisin for a cancellation
Unknown: he's dead
John C Dvorak: he's dead so let's go with
Adam Curry: Thank you Mimi for throwing us off track is going
back to some crazy people on Tik Tok
John C Dvorak: go back to the net balls and boy are they in
this case now here's a noodle boy guy he's a I don't know what
he's non binary just I don't know what his pronouns are her
pronouns or whatever she has but nose ring right through the you
know the middle one and they're like the cow and big giant
earrings and wild makeup and here he goes is the Asheville
noodle boy
Unknown: up until yesterday, I worked at blend pretzels I asked
the general manager to stand up for trans rights and against our
genocide. And he laughed in my face the owner. His father is a
Nazi his son is the general manager. I've spent nearly a
year expending so much emotional labor trying to make sure that
I'm safe including having three hour conversations with the
general manager about why rate isn't funny. He has sat there
and watched the owner be transphobic to me, he also
watched and supported while he paid me less than everybody else
if you are in the Nashville area or Buncombe County, do not
support blunt pretzels if you support trans people.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, well, this is clearly mentally
disturbed, momentarily mentally disturbed
John C Dvorak: or permanently numb. Here's a here's a woman
this is the armpit girl has a short clip she just went on it's
just to show that she has armpit hairy armpits to get hairy
armpits is a big deal to her. But you have to note that she
has a completely she bought perfectly shaved bald head has
been shaved the shaved bald head and the armpits and she's been
here's the clip.
Unknown: So I have this thing called a little quirk if you
will. I have hair in my armpit. I have it there for a few
reasons. One lazy to fuck the patriarchy and fury. Your
response to them? tells me everything I need to know about
you. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: this is the thing is a bit lazy if she sewed keep
her head bald. Yeah. But she's lazy. She says yeah, that's
that's bullcrap. I
Adam Curry: mean, this is. I have different I have multiple
thoughts about that. I remember moving to Europe in the 70s and
my mom being horrified. These women have hairy pits and hairy
legs.
Unknown: Got airy lay eggs.
Adam Curry: So that's that doesn't bother me. I mean, you
know,
John C Dvorak: if you saw this wish he'd been no,
Adam Curry: I liked it. You're sitting at home watching this
and going and getting all worked up over it. I kind of like that
or just like that. Like I'm gonna make a clip out of this.
John C Dvorak: And luckily, by the way, by the way, I should
mention that now because I've been doing these I'm now I don't
have to do any work. Because they are being sent to me. It's
just magic.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And you're like, Oh, right. I can't. I've
got all the clips I need. I've got them all.
John C Dvorak: So here's the queer author this this is a long
clip. I'm gonna skip this. Oh,
Adam Curry: thank you long. I don't know if I can handle a
long clip.
John C Dvorak: Let's listen to the white supremacy clip.
Unknown: This commenter says I'm perfectly fine with fat people.
But WTF do you mean, Aryan that phobia and racism are two
completely separate things. But they're not all bigotry, and our
culture is rooted in white supremacy. White supremacy so
that's my ideal and adding deviation from that ideal is
discriminated against. Obviously this goes for a race, but it
also includes the person's size and our culture, the skinny
people are upheld as the ideal. There's also racism behind why
skinniness is considered the ideal because as white women we
want to set ourselves apart from black women who stereotypically
have curvier bodies. All bodies are beautiful, but white
supremacy needs to hold up a singular ideal in order to
maintain control.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is just this is the this is the
education system. The and the media and tick tock probably and
you know this white supremacy, whereas throughout history in
the Reubens period when the thick women were found beautiful
in the black community thick girls are are more desired than
thin girls. It changes it changes over time. And we
fluctuate this flux. Thank you. It's
John C Dvorak: a fashion. Yes,
Adam Curry: it's called a fashion. Now of course, there's
some health issues that come in at a certain point. But you
know, that's why we have ozempic, which we'll get to
after we think some people but before the since you led me down
this path, I do need to discuss a couple of
John C Dvorak: them before I get to I get one, at least play one
push back clip. And this is the pride push ban in Massachusetts.
And even though you could tell that to the reporters on the
news channel, were horrified. Horrified by this woman who's
making nothing but sense
Unknown: these displays of intolerance and homophobia are
unacceptable if this type of intolerant rhetoric starts in
the home,
parents angry at townhall over intolerance at Marshall Simon's
middle school, kids were asked to wear rainbow clothes in honor
of pride Spirit Day, but some organized a counter protest
wearing red, white and blue or black. The principal sharing a
statement to families that pride posters were ripped down
stickers ripped up some students chanted USA are my pronouns and
students showing pride were intimidated. It was
an unruly disruption. In fact, that was organized ahead of time
while some parents were upset. Others say it was overblown.
Some of the kids threw the stickers on the ground. But you
know, I can only speak for my daughter she just she didn't
want to wear that to school. It's not that she wanted to hurt
anybody's feelings.
She says her daughter felt coerced to participate in the
Pride event and was offended by some of the messages like this
quote from Tennessee Williams
human heart cannot be straight it is curves and winds and my
daughter just kind of said you know mom, that's that's
offensive to me who I am straight.
But even parents like her opposed to the Pride Month
celebration, say the ripping of posters was wrong.
I think destructing any property is wrong. I think you know, that
I just think that was wrong. parents
and community groups now calling for the town and school board to
act and support diversity, equity and inclusion, the
incident sparking discussion at home on both sides.
My thing that I teach my kids is just be kind. And I wish the
schools would just kind of pump the brakes on what they're
showing Greg Stokes,
the issue of pride in schools is very controversial. I understand
that I think we need to start at a place of commonality.
Now the principal says that no one was forced to participate in
the Pride Day event, but now parents on both sides want
dialogue LIVE IN BURLINGTON Sean shy about WC VB newsletter.
Adam Curry: Oh, it was nice to hear people want dialogue
because this is more of the what Kennedy calls the wages of war,
you know, oh, we got to go to war. We gotta go. I got into war
against them. Yeah, a couple of things I want to read before I
play two clips here. As so it's unraveling a little bit. The the
transitioning of children is starting to unravel. We're
seeing clips coming out of the UK when I didn't I didn't get
those clips, probably seen as like another one is outrageous
things on social media. stuff. Yeah. The kid says, hey, you
know, you can't identify as a cat. There's only two genders.
The kid gets kicked out. The teacher comes in and says, you
know, this is this is what the authority says the authority
says, then you can be anything you want. And you should 13 year
olds. Yeah. So this is the problem with government in your
school, is your government shouldn't be telling you,
whether it's whether you agree with it or not. The government
should be telling you how to how your children should be learning
or what they should be learning but that's up to up to you if
you want that. In 2016 there was a big MTV reality show about
this kid called Milo and Milo was oh it was born a girl but
was definitely going to be a boy and it was you know, just went
all through the transitioning and now Milo is back after what
is it? Eight nine years. distraught. I can never have
kids again. I regret getting hormone injections. my ovaries
are dead. It's horrible, horrible things. Elliott page
used to be Ellen Page came out with his interview and just I
mean it's so it's so horrific. This child was abused in
Hollywood sexually abused and then you know therapist said all
you clearly a boy will fix that right up and anyone with the
sound mind who reads this? Can see like No, no, no, there's
something else going on with this person. There's a
whistleblower now that exposes the hospital for performing sex
chain surgeries on minors. I mean, it's all coming out.
People are not all in lockstep on this, no matter what the
media thinks, no matter what politicians think. And even if
the movie theaters think that they can ban me to here's the
clip.
Unknown: Now the film's producer say that AMC theaters abruptly
canceled all screenings of the documentary caving to the
demands of a trans rights group, AMC Theaters declining to
comment on the record about their decision to pull the
release.
Adam Curry: Now, what's interesting about this is this
movie has just been rebranded to be put into into theaters. It's
called No way back the reality of gender affirming care. It is
the exact same movie as affirmation, generation
affirmation, which you can get on YouTube. So you know,
everyone's kind of in it for their own reasons, I guess. But
then this happened in Arkansas, as you know, these horrible
genocidal anti trans laws are being put in by Republicans who
are Nazis. Now judges are overturning them. And Amy
Goodman, I have to say unfortunate morning, Amy Goodman
Clifton bound report that was usable, usable for US
Unknown: federal judges struck down Arkansas first in the
nation ban on gender affirming care for transgender youth.
Judge James moody Jr. ruled the ban to be unconstitutional
because it discriminates against transgender people and violates
the rights of doctors. In his decision. Moody wrote, quote,
rather than protecting children or safeguarding methods of
medical ethics, the evidence showed the prohibited medical
care improves the mental health and well being of patients. And
that by prohibiting it, the state undermine the interests
that claims to be advancing. One quote, one of the plaintiffs who
sued our console for the ban was a 17 year old trans student
named Dylan Brandt, who responded to the ruling by
saying, quote, transgender kids across the country are having
their own futures threatened by laws like this one, and it's up
to all of us to speak out, fight back and give them hope.
Unquote.
Adam Curry: So I looked at the judge's opinion. And the judge's
opinion literally says, the science is in that children who
who get the affirm the gender affirming care they deserve.
Dude who will not commit suicide? And so we can you can
boil down this whole debate to the truth of the matter. To what
does the science really say? And then the the abstraction of that
is would you rather have a dead daughter or living son or a dead
son or living daughter but it's usually a dead daughter living
song because it's a percentage the girls so that is the SIOP
because the actual science is only three years old. That's a
joke.
John C Dvorak: The other thing is interesting, as they
obviously this, this case, dependent on the whatever the
expert witness was,
Adam Curry: I can tell you it is the Arkansas chapter of American
Academy of Pediatrics, the Arkansas Academy of Pediatrics,
the American College of OB GYN, the American Academy of Child,
Adolescent psychologists, the American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry, the Arkansas Psychological
Association, and other scientific and medical
organizations who all recognize the effectiveness and safety of
gender affirming medical care. The studies are only Max three
years old. That's who they have as their expert witnesses. So
fine. Maybe you should look at Europe who've had who have
literally come out and said, there is no there are no long
term studies that show this and in fact that it's 19% of people
transition, wind up suicidal. So it's it's phony baloney science,
it's just like the jab will you know it's 80% effective 70 6050
You won't get horribly ill you won't be in the hospital get a
booster. It's because people believe a
John C Dvorak: medical system that allows this to develop in
this way is corrupted.
Adam Curry: Yes. And personally, I think look, if your kids are
minor, and you're all in on this and you want to abuse your kid
How about it? If you're all in and you're there every single
step of the way? Well, then you're you're just then that'll
be up to you and your your parent and whatever else. Your
kids
John C Dvorak: some of these kids go on a murder spree
Adam Curry: well, but you can't you can't have schools doing
this any of this schools now who are doing this on the sly
Midwest, teachers trade tips on subversively, in quietly
transitioning kids without telling parents, that's the
stuff that should be outlawed. But if you really think you're a
good parent out, I'd have at it, but then be ready for the
consequences. So you know, I can understand why these laws are
seen as unconstitutional. If the if there's parental consent,
what are you going to do, but they should at least go out and
get some good information. And the SIOP of would you rather
I've seen it happen so many times Do you want a dead
daughter or a living son? And and it Oh, they'll he'll be
he'll commit suicide if you don't give this to your
daughter. That is just factually not true. And so there's no
other debate really. There's just no other debate. That's all
that it has to be. And so what this has gone is you know, now
we're down to the book bannings which is also something that
only my favorite people in Utah, the you know, that 90 parent
went in and said, and they got the Bible taken out of the
school because it has horrible horrific things in it, which is
true. That's an interesting move they made and it just it got
overturned and the Bible is back. But yeah, I mean, so it's
history like is slick is very tricky. But the bottom line is
the science is just not in on this stuff. That's all and
that's what these movies show. That's the problem. That's what
the what act whatever.
John C Dvorak: Banning the information, there's a giveaway
there that there's something amiss. That's
Adam Curry: exactly right. I feel like that myself, What are
you drinking today Johnny Boy,
John C Dvorak: polar seltzer 100% natural is 100%
Adam Curry: He
Unknown: 700 frickin percent and with
Adam Curry: that I'd like to thank you for your courage and
say in the morning to the man who put the sea and scandalous

we lost at least five people in that sub he said subs in the
water. I don't know if they're gonna hear it, John. They ran
out of air this morning. It's not good. I thought
John C Dvorak: today was Thursday. Yeah, Thursday. That's

Adam Curry: It's a shoot sick crap number. No,
John C Dvorak: no, I'm sorry. It's a good number. Sunday's is

Adam Curry: It would be lousy. Lousy. Yeah, it's a good number
for Thursday. You know, I had my new teeth put in Yes. My new
temps actually. Okay, does that sound good?
John C Dvorak: Yes, I'm fine. Don't sound any different to me.
Adam Curry: Okay. The I think I'm more happy right now. I'm
happier. 1915 Good to have you here trolls. I want to remind
everybody that this is the donation segment. This is where
we play the special clip, as well as give you the magic

There'll be a very quick donation segment. Yeah. If you
you know a lot of people like I can't get into troll room should
I use an IRC client? I don't know how to work it troll.
room.io doesn't load is a very simple fix for that. Give up

it'll put this is that a brewed chicken? Or is that a real

John C Dvorak: It's a tumor too.
Adam Curry: But we also need finances, because John and I
have no other job. And we have bills to pay. So we appreciate
everybody and anybody, even if it's $3 a month, all of that is
good. The beauty of our system is you don't have to do it. Now
we have about 900,000 people a month, who are listening to the
show, and a very small amount, we have to say like 35 donors
above the line donors that's that's a small amount. who are
supporting us financially?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this we need the other people to think
about it.
Adam Curry: Think about it would be a nice way. Nice way to go.
I'm gonna tell you right up front, the way to learn about
supporting the show financially is that this website
Unknown: vorak.org/and A,
Adam Curry: and one of the important value pieces that we
return they receive in return for the show that that we bring
to you twice a week is the artwork, we'd like to put a new
piece of artwork into our, into our, our mp3 and on the
promotional things where we say, Hey, we've got a new show, we
feel that looks great. And all the apps and we are pretty
traditional when it comes to you know, the big holidays, like
Christmas and Father's Day and Veterans Day and Mother's Day.
And so we always look for something that's special. I
think the choice we made for episode 1565. We titled it clop
clop. For the big move it hack was a Father's Day piece. Even
though there was kind of the Father's Day donations were
little I was less than stellar. This piece of artwork struck a
lot of people. The people loved it. It was done by Francisco
Scaramanga and it was a little baby night handing some flowers,
some wasn't sure if it was roses, but some red flowers to a
daddy night. And it was just the cutest thing. It was one of the
hay was so incredibly cute, and people really picked up on it.
And I think that's why we have at least 100 people more
listening live today than than we normally had this artwork
drew them in, like these guys. They can't be all Nasi. This
Look at this cute picture. So we appreciate that Francisco
Scaramanga and we had a number of pieces to choose from, which
you can follow along while we discuss this. Actually, I
John C Dvorak: think I was referring something and then we
both agreed on this robot. What was it? Yeah, you can be wrong.
Adam Curry: No, you were No, you'd like to hold on a second.
You can find like the
John C Dvorak: non birthing caretaker. I like the the Mao
misused monks ship by Perry. Non happy non burning caregiver day.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: with my piece I like Yes. And
John C Dvorak: and you just thought it was a mess. And it
was in you're colorblind and you couldn't see it. And it was you
didn't like it anyway. And then then you had no other choice.
And then
Adam Curry: hold on, hold on. I said it's a mess. But I said
then I said, but that may be because it's a lot of dots and
colors that I have issues with with my so called color
blindness. And we kind of left it at that because then we both
looked at the Scaramanga piece
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, there's no dig is hadn't showed it's a
beautiful piece it really the one I got my pick was based on
the humor kind of of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. belittling the
holiday somewhat.
Adam Curry: Which is always Yeah, we don't like to belittle
the holiday we are tradition. Heaven forbid
John C Dvorak: we do that
Adam Curry: traditional man. You got the robot you can follow
along and no agenda art generator.com You can become an
artist yourself and just create an account upload the nodes and
art generator.com It's not an easy task. This these artists do
this while listening live. And so the minute we're done, no, I
literally I, I find an opening clip. And I've marked them
during the during the show. We decide on that we do the
credits, and then we go to the artwork. And then you know, by
the end, we hope to have everything in we give the
artists a couple extra minutes there to finish up. So it's not
an easy thing to do. But if if you've got the skills, then you
know that
John C Dvorak: yeah, it's kind of
Adam Curry: Father's Day because you always get these new sound
machines and then you just overdo it. use them sparingly.
This one sounds like a bagpipe being
John C Dvorak: a cost. Maybe guy just for me it is a turkey call.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Because it sounds like a turkey.
John C Dvorak: Does you ever do you get turkeys around here and
they yell at you they make noises.
Adam Curry: Okay, so I want you to go out after the show and
Luer a turkey and with that, okay?
John C Dvorak: Do we all have the front yard, I'll take a
picture.
Adam Curry: If you're using a modern podcast app, you'll see
all of these different pieces of artwork, as they most of them
get displayed in the chapters, which Dred Scott does for us
another great valuable addition to the show. And we appreciate
that. So when you're driving, you will see these just, you
know, changing as as chapters and topics change and he takes a
lot of the artwork from no agenda, and probably most of the
artwork from no agenda Art Generator. So thank you very
much, Francisco Scaramanga and all of the artists who submit
their work, we appreciate it, and we hope everybody gets their
shot at the leaderboard, no agenda, art generator.com. Now
let us thank our executive and Associate Executive producers
for episode 1566 $200 and above, or $3,300 and above is Executive
Producer 200. Above is Associate Executive Producers these are
credits that you keep for eternity. They are real credits,
so you can use them anywhere. It's no different from the
Hollywood stuff. There is a difference actually will vouch
for you. If if someone ever questions that you are an
executive or Associate Executive Producer of the no agenda show
and the episode will always do that for you and we kick it off
with Stephen Hutto from St. Petersburg, Florida $452 And I'm
not sure why that amount but he sent us a picture of his
odometer which said 33,300 33,300 miles and he says
I knew it was time to donate when I saw the odometer courtesy
of my 2017 Lexus SUV. He does not drive a lot I guess 33,000
Miles doesn't seem like a lot for first six years does it
John C Dvorak: 5000 miles a year yeah. sappy unless you have a
commute that's pretty common. Yeah. And he says no jingles no
karma so my mileage I don't drive it
Adam Curry: no no jingles no karma so we will not give you
jingles or Karma. Thank you very much for your support.
John C Dvorak: He keeps come in before and it's I haven't heard
him for a while. I'm glad to hear from him. Bowman McMahon
and Utopia Texas came in with 233 3.33 donations. Which makes
me wonder if was a mistake and is no note to be found anywhere
even though Jays like freaked out about it. So we don't know
what I love.
Adam Curry: She goes. Check your emails. check emails, gentlemen,
there's no no there's two of these donations. It does seem
kind of weird. You'd have two identical donations and no
notes. So
John C Dvorak: I've taken it. I'm of the opinion that we're
going to end up losing half of this money.
Adam Curry: That's okay. Well, we're happy to return it if that
was a mistake. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And I also know it would be nice to read
anything he has to say
Adam Curry: given the double up karma that we usually hand out
and he's got
John C Dvorak: Where is where is in fact, utopia? Texas.
Adam Curry: I don't know. I don't know. It's not I don't
think it's actually that far from here. To be honest,
John C Dvorak: you're a rocket Texas's No. No, Texas big men
that rocket Texas.
Adam Curry: What did you do in rocket Texas?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's where they had the big giant
Super Collider. They were building and I was given a tour
of it.
Adam Curry: Is it still there? No, no, it's
John C Dvorak: once it this is George Bush project out who is
the George Bush? Ronald Reagan. I can't remember whoever was I
think Obama killed it or Clinton kill it. One of them someone
killed Democrats killed it? Because it was it was good
because it was gonna work. And so when I was in rocket, Texas
that's when I was introduced to some to some of the greatest
chicken fried steak at some Cafe Cafe whose name I forgotten in
rocket Texas.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we definitely could not have anything like
that working that would ruin the oil industry. Why even do it in
Texas, you know nuts.
John C Dvorak: When I was for research purposes, it wasn't
really going to hurt the oil industry. But anyway, onward

Unknown: No one said
Adam Curry: no agenda meetups, the companion to listening to
the program. Without it. You are really kind of incomplete. You
need the connection for your very own protection. You learn
everything here but you got to be able to talk to people about
it. You have to exchange ideas. Go to one of the no agenda
meetups they are everywhere around the world they're taking
place. Got a quick meet up report from the third northwest
Houston Houston meetup. The bike counts or economic hitman hosted
that he had Andreea and her dad's are sorted out as well as
grey Knight 33, Kyle and Octo, Octo, Pete, David, Nelson, and
Mohammed all showed up all really smart people who were fun
to talk to the next meetup will be in July, during the Houston
in a telegram group to help plan it. This is another thing once
you're part of these meetups, there's all kinds of offline
groups or not offline, but groups that are on telegram and
other other networks, Discord servers, all kinds of thing
people self organize. Then when you get events, people are able
to actually organize things that are important within the group
like when we had with snowpocalypse in Austin sir
Scott, Baron Scott man, he was taking care of all kinds of
people. So remember to do that. No agenda meetups. We have a
report from the north Idaho sanity brigade here
Unknown: sir Scott the Jew here at the Selkirk Abbey once again
in North Idaho and dude, honestly, this meetup kind of
sucks because Dana Brunetti is not here. I don't see any trans
jester people.

Unknown: Sometimes you want to go hang out with Dyson days.
You'd be you'd be everybody say is like a pot.
Adam Curry: It is just like a pot. I only have two ISOs I
don't think they're very good yet. What do you have?
John C Dvorak: I only have one ISO Well, let
Adam Curry: me play your one. Nice. Oh, here I have it. Okay,
let's listen to it.
Unknown: Hush up, boy.
Adam Curry: Okay, I kind of liked that one. I have it's
chicken. Now it's not understandable. This one? Yeah.
No, I think hotshot boy wins. Hands down. Hush up boy. Yeah.
Not racist at all. Love it. Biden. Biden, Biden. The gang
keeps on giving. Yeah, he's the gangsta. You may be right about
that. I like how you figured that one out. So I wanted to
read these two notes. Cuz they came in almost back to back
about ups. You know, so they're talking about their strike. And
you remember we talked about this write ups. He says this is
UPS Chris. In the morning, John. I'm running this boots on the
ground report regarding Adams recent coverage of the impending
UPS strike. I'm relatively new member of the teamsters union as
a full time driver at UPS for two years. Your deconstruction
of this segment was superb. The key issue did mention is that
the corruption past present the corrupt past president of the
Union, James Hoffa was able to push through a contract in 2018,
the members had voted down by 54%. This two thirds rule has
since been abolished by the current president of the Union
Sean O'Brien. This contract allowed the company to implement
two tiered wage system for full time drivers COVID conveniently
happened and then the company which it typically never does
started to hire tons of new full timers off the street due to
massive increase in volume. The full time rate as a driver after
four years at UPS is $42.50 an hour. Due to the sketchy
language in the current contract. There are full time
drivers doing the same work for significantly less about 20 to
25 an hour, so we see the disparity here. Now these are
still good rates. But the key here is to see through what the
media portrays as wins for the Union. No one mentions no
mention of increasing pensions increasing part time or paid to
offset the massive turnover, creating more even paying full
time jobs etc. And the air conditioning is indeed a joke.
We love our jobs. We drive with the doors open in and out
hundreds of times a day. We don't need a see any veteran
driver can show the way when it comes to cooling down off the
job. So then I got a note from an an Amazon UPS Honda driver.
And he says, Oh yeah, I want to give you boots on the ground.
Amazon drivers that are using their Honda's to deliver
packages for no money is absolutely true. This is a UPS
outsources the Amazon packages that UPS is supposed to deliver
to these guys and they're Honda's, I'm one of them. The
way it works is Amazon has a sub contracting program called
Amazon flex. They touted to be the greatest gig ever work when
you want to earn $22 an hour. But what they do not tell you is
they only offer work in two three and four hour blocks. So
getting a full day's work is next to impossible. And you want
to spend some more time checking for the offers than working
them. They over hire to keep a liquid workforce and offer
distribution. In first come first serve. You're battling
people for the offers. If you see an offer on your phone, then
a bunch of other people see the same thing. The first one to
accept it gets it. It's almost like bidding war over the work
that they can keep the base rate for blacks very low. They treat
you like a delivery drone. So he has this very long note which
I'm not going to read all verbatim but he says that at
first when you start the program you get all these offers and Do
you get oh, like, oh, Whole Foods three blocks away, this is
great. And then the offers start to dry up. And he says, you
know, then all sudden, I get a four hour warehouse block where
I have to drive for two hours and 100 miles for $66.
Basically, I'm driving for free. And of course, once you accept
one, it's like Uber, you know, it's like, oh, here comes offer,
boom, you go. And then you start not getting these pieces of
work. And here's the problem. He found out that there's no secure
connection, as he calls it between the offers and the app
that you use to, to hit the offers with. And there's a whole
bunch of bots and app bots that can use SERP this, these offers
before it goes into alert mode on the phone. So typically, now
you've got your phone on, you get a bloop you get alert, you
tap on it, you try and get it right away. And it's always
gone. That's because they figured out you know,
unscrupulous individuals have figured out how to grab that
before it becomes alert and they're scooping up all the
money. And he says this thing is a total scam. In addition to
that, all the call centers are outsourced to India. So if
something doesn't work, or something's gone wrong, I can't
communicate with the people. They don't understand me. I
don't understand him them. And he gives a whole bunch of links
to GitHub repos if you want to get on and get in on the scam
and get those offers early. But this is not sound like the ups
that we that we love and adore. As the you know, the King of
Queens type type job is just you know, they're diluting it into
cheap gig work, which is probably why a lot of the
packages and delivery sucks. I think these two gentlemen for
the courage for bringing us the boots on the ground, we never
would have known about this. Okay. Then I have some climate
change stuff we need to discuss. Actually, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
We can do climate change bill. I could do climate change now.
Actually a balloon do some big pharma as better. I'll do it.
What time are we at? Yeah, I'll do just a couple here. Dr. Jen,
Dr. Janice, Judy, all about the new COVID shots coming this
fall. Get ready, everybody, you'll want to have them you
want to be getting right in on that action?
Unknown: All right, we're talking about a new vaccine,
pretty much an update for COVID. So let me tee this up for you
guys. Remember how when there was all this confusion about
which vaccine when to get the vaccine, the booster, the new
variant version, all of this as it was evolving over the last
three years. Now we have word from the FDA that we can expect
in this country this fall to have a newer COVID-19 vaccine
that incorporates the latest circulating strains just as we
do with the influenza vaccine, which is good news right because
before we had the bio valent booster we were still using the
same vaccine from the original wild type Coronavirus genetic
fingerprint.
Adam Curry: Notice what she says from the original wild type
Coronavirus, genetic fingerprint, ie you didn't have
the virus
Unknown: from the original wild type Coronavirus, genetic
fingerprint, we need to evolve the vaccines to be current with
the strains that are circulating. So
Adam Curry: just didn't they have all these? Oh, this new
booster is upgraded for the Omicron this new beat this what
they did? Yeah, now all of a sudden we were still using the
old Wild
Unknown: forces Dr. Jim vaccine from the original wild type
Coronavirus, genetic fingerprint, we need to evolve
the vaccines to be current with the strains that are
circulating. So x bb 1.5, as if that doesn't just roll off the
tip of your tongue that's most likely going to be in the fall
version. But they have to make this calculated guesstimate as
to what will be circulating. But I
Adam Curry: want guesstimate Yeah, just like the flu vaccine
is one a guesstimate
Unknown: calculated guesstimate as to what will be circulating
in the country. Now the benefit of this new mRNA technology is
that within 100
John C Dvorak: We have a new mRNA technology now. Yeah, it's
called
Adam Curry: guesstimate.
Unknown: It's a guestimation going on
John C Dvorak: and on about nothing
Unknown: to what will be circulating in the country. Now
the benefit of this new mRNA technology is that within 100
days, we should be able to turn around a vaccine according to
the circulating strain within 100 days, yeah, three months
about that time but they're already working on the one that
we should be able to be getting in the fall. So
you mentioned that flu vaccine and how we get to every fall,
this is going to become just one of those things we get. Yes,
exactly. Unless you're in a high risk group and then you might
need a more frequently, but I cannot emphasize this enough. So
many, so few Americans have died.
Adam Curry: Well, if you're, well, you're a high risk group.
You know, your whatever that is, I guess,
John C Dvorak: boosters or booster shots is shot. What do
you need more than one
Adam Curry: because you're a high risk group. We need to kill
you.
Unknown: assizes enough. So many. So few Americans have
gotten that by valent booster. It's part of the reason why it
was quite Vaillant have dropped down so much.
John C Dvorak: By valent.
Adam Curry: This interesting question, why don't you toot
your horn every single time she says it? Okay, I'm sorry with
the horn a little much. You know, it's baggy trousers. It's
a little much. Anyway. Well, so by violent by valence, whatever.
But on Sunday, they had the Today Show with the longest
native ad I've ever seen. What did you put it on the timer?
Yeah, I was like seven minutes. doll that's beyond a native ad.
It's all native ad and that's like buying it, you know, buying
time? Yes. Well, if you listened to and I only clipped a couple
minutes of it. I just had to stop. I think it's an overall
industry native ad from Nova novo, Novartis, novo, Novartis,

correct.
Adam Curry: Which is used by ozempic and we go V, but the
emphasis was on ozempic. They did throw in some will go V, but
they really said you know, parent company. And we know from
the UK that the parent company Novartis was caught marketing
and paying for marketing, which is illegal in the UK. Here is
just regular old business. Oh, yeah. Doing business as usual.
So listen, how the music changes how the how the you know what
the doctors are saying? Because that Where'd you get this again,
let's
John C Dvorak: backup today show the sun today show Sunday.
Additionally, music over the segment on the Today Show.
Unknown: In December of 2017, and medication for the treatment
of type two diabetes called semaglutide was approved by the
FDA. It was sold under the brand name ozempic. In recent months,
the drug has become a national phenomenon for different
benefits, weight loss, the talk of Hollywood, red carpets and
suburban bookclubs oh, by the
Adam Curry: way, notice he says it was the FDA approved it but
there wasn't for weight loss. They they approved it for
diabetes just misses that small little detail is effective.
Unknown: But is it safe for everyone who's using NBC News
SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT, Dr. John Taurus as our Sunday.
For decades, it's been an obsession for millions of
Americans. Are you ready to do the workout? How to drop those
extra pounds in the old days, it was all about exercise and
eating better. But now people looking to lose weight have a
new tool in their arsenal baby. That hype is real prescription
drugs called semaglutide that come in a now unmistakable pen
ozempic and will go V the brand names for semaglutide drugs that
were developed to help people with type two diabetes and
patients with obesity but with a desirable side effects with
weight loss. Big names like Elon Musk Amy Schumer and Chelsea
Handler have admitted taking it and from celebrities to social
media influencers. This trend has taken the weight loss right
by shore
everybody looks so great. When I look around this room I can't
help but wonder is ozempic right for
me. The ads from parent company Novo Nordisk and similar ones
for other drugs like Manjaro from Lilly are inescapable,
plastered over Instagram and Facebook shaking up the $75
billion weight loss Marcus popular programs like Weight
Watchers and news are joining the craze acquiring launching
telehealth programs to offer the drugs along with their diet
tracking subscriptions are part of a strategy that recognizes
obesity as a chronic and potentially deadly disease.
Adam Curry: This is so evil what these people are doing. And they
throw in there. Is it safe? Yes, great. It's a tool. It's great
celebrities use it. Everyone should have it. It's fantastic.
Unknown: How important is that? Weight Watchers and neum are now
introducing these weight loss
Adam Curry: drugs Weight Watchers a neum. Get your app
now for their
Unknown: clients.
We can't shoulder this burden alone and I appreciate that
industry is trying to step up to the plate.
Adam Curry: Wow. Industry is trying to step up to the plate
ate. Thank you industry. Thank you Weight Watchers that you
really are helping humanity
Unknown: works by mimicking a gut hormone called glucagon like
peptide one or GLP. One, which regulates insulin levels reduces
appetite and allows patients to feel fuller longer, the higher
dosage marketed as well. govi has been FDA approved to treat
people who are overweight or obese, but is not recommended
for people who don't meet that standard. With some doctors
sounding the alarm on using all the Gog for vanity,
you're doing this for short term gain, you're not going to get
that long term benefit and that sustained success that we want
for patients that actually do struggle with disease.
Adam Curry: So it's a disease. If you if you're not really
overweight, you just want to look great, then you use the
ozempic. Otherwise, you've got the Wigo V. These people are
shameless, then Oh, and by the way, here's where you can get
it. neum and weightwatchers. i This is where I stopped it. This
is the problem. This is the problem right here. And I'm I'm
going to say right now put it in the Red Book. We're going to
find out that oh, yeah, it turns out people who use ozempic And
we'll go we did dying I didn't expect that. I just feels like
it's another death thing. Well, the
John C Dvorak: problem is the way I see it. The way I see it,
it was just approved What 2019
Adam Curry: It was not with Gopi was only recently approved.
John C Dvorak: By me saying this this basic, the basic the base
Yeah, the other one, which is the high dose, it's like well,
okay, whatever basic product
Adam Curry: for for diabetes was approved react in 2019.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's not enough time. That's not even 10
years of data. Don't know what's gonna happen, your hair could
fall out. I mean, there are side effects already including
pancreatitis, unis. That aggravation.
Adam Curry: In fact, hair hair loss is one of the reported
John C Dvorak: hair loss is a business issue until people
shouldn't be taken anything that's this drastic, which is
drastic. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Adam Curry: Now, but it's also it's also you know, it's, it's
like the epitome it's, it's Idiocracy. But I'm eating crap.
I got fat.
Unknown: Give me a shot. You watch you stop eating,
Adam Curry: or are you trying to eat try and eat something
healthy? You don't hear Dr. Jenn talking about that. Huh? Anyway,
the way the healthcare works in the United States, this would be
my last clip is, is as the following. It's all about the
money people. Never saw Perez
Unknown: had a virulent case of COVID and pneumonia when she
arrived at this HCA hospital in 2021. She was just 42 years old.
Doctors put her on a ventilator and into a coma. But after
kidney failure and a series of mini strokes common and COVID.
About a month after her admission, common in COVID, DAF
began urging her mother Alma Salas to transfer her daughter
to end of life care and let her die.
I felt like he was trying to pressure me Hey, do you really
want to live your life taking care of your daughter in a
vegetative state for the next 30 years?
I slipped down I'm an acid. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna
let her go.
Another time she says six or seven HCA staff members gathered
at her daughter's bedside urging her to enter treatment. One
nurse Allah says was very aggressive and came in
repeatedly
Sheila really angry I was like taken aback.
The pressure solace describes existed some of HCA other 170
Plus hospitals, staff are pressed to get patients into
hospice, where life saving treatments are withdrawn. And
the incentive is not necessarily patient care, but the
improvement of hospital performance metrics. Because if
a patient dies in hospice, even in the same hospital bed, their
death will not be counted in the hospital's mortality statistics,
a key factor used by those who rate hospital quality and the
better the rating the better for business. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Kill them. Just kill them. Kill them, kill them, kill
them. All right now you have to get us out of here with
something upbeat, uplifting and fun.
John C Dvorak: Well, I have a few things left. Let's go into
how we can do this. This. This is not uplifting or a beat or
downbeat. This is not bad. This is just interesting to me. Okay.
But then again, let's skipped out just for the next show.
Blinken on Taiwan. This is Blinken selling out the United
States and selling out Taiwan to Taiwan thing is never going to
there's never going to be a war over Taiwan
Unknown: on Taiwan are reiterated the longest Adding us
one China policy, that policy has not changed. It's guided by
the Taiwan Relations Act. Three, joint communique is the sixth
assurances, we do not support Taiwan independence, we remain
opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by
either side. We continue to expect the peaceful resolution
of cross strait differences.
Adam Curry: I don't understand this. You have to explain. I
have heard this I'll be like what, how does this even work?
Like we do try no lawyer the minute the minute do anything,
Taiwan, we're gonna we want to get our F 16 is just we're gonna
do an amendment. And now it's like, well, but no, it's like,
we don't support China as being independent. How does this work?
John C Dvorak: They don't support it. There's a document
that we signed some years ago, I guess, that the Chinese have
thrown in our face and said, Hey, look, you you're not going
to support. Hey, look, you're not going to support Taiwanese
independence. You shouldn't be talking so much about it. You're
talking too much. And so this is Blinken 's okay, we're going to
talk about it anymore. And he got a little kicker in there,
which is that ever the status quo, which is the main thing he
went around, nobody's talking about that. But which is a good
thing, because status quo means nothing's going to change. But
it still sounds like a weenie the guy's a weenie.
Adam Curry: I do have something that will be fun to listen to.
From the Irish Green Party, Senator Paulino Riley. There is
an act that is being set up. I guess it's only in Ireland, the
incitement to violence act. And with incitement to violence, it
basically means if you make someone feel bad, I think we'll
listen to this short clip when you
Unknown: think about it, or law, or legislation is about the
restriction of freedom. That's exactly what we're doing here is
we are restricting freedom, but we're doing it for the common
good. You will see throughout our Constitution, yes, you have
rights, or they are restricted for the common good. Everything
needs to be balanced. And if your views on other people's
identities, go to make their lives unsafe or insecure, and
cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace,
then I believe that it is our job as legislators to restrict
those freedoms for the common good.
Adam Curry: And so the what I heard is, if you don't use
someone's pronouns, which of course is violence, then you're
going to be penalized by the law exactly what she said. And I
would like to remind everybody in the United States we have the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the amendments and
it's all meant to restrict government not to restrict your
rights you have the rights is to restrict the the restrict the
government from doing anything to your rights, which inherently
means all people have these rights. So there's no such thing
as extra rights that anybody needs. Am I right? Am I right
you're
John C Dvorak: dead on
Adam Curry: I don't know why that happened. It's like a new a
new little jingle we should use All right, everybody. For end of
show I've got the resists. We much we Jide
John C Dvorak: though yes, I'm great into show clips. I heard
him earlier. Yeah, definitely
Adam Curry: some good ones. We got Jesse coy Nelson, Sir
Michael Anthony and Geez laughs If you're listening to no agenda
stream.com toll room.io or one of those brand new podcast apps,
the millennial media offensive kicks off with bat soup chef
right after we're done. Which is well worth listening to I tell
you and coming to you from the heart of the Texas hill country

over Schoen always knew that one day we beat the mayor. 33 years
ago, the voice in my head told me you finna be the most
powerful black and brown man of color on the globe of New York
City. Behold, the process is folks. I'd be reading about the
apocalypse in the Bible. Boom. And I'm like, that's how you get
stuff done. The seven plagues, Corona, monkeypox, climate

crafting the narrative can be like casting a spell did not the
early treatment how we got back to the cell tape this

not doing well. I like what comedians do when standing up on
a stage school ballislife disaster in the world for
humanitarian aid and as you define the international crowd
as what they say laws must be passed to really make Russia pay
more than a trillion the confiscated today. Not given
that bags oh wait, podcast and listen in the podcast too fast
as I can use a break like a pod fast.
Adam Curry: That's all the media has left to do. The M five F
hedge has boiled down to complaining about other news
organizations. I think that bores everybody.
John C Dvorak: The producers want you to just do what you
just described. Yes. As opposed to actually doing real work.
Yes. What are you gonna do? This is great. Oh, I all I have to do
is get a bunch of clips of my my compat competition and Misha by
Tucker Carlson. I can do that till the cows come home.
