Adam Curry: China because China China China, Adam curry, John C.
Devora. December 14 2023. This is your award winning your
nation media assassination episode 1616. This
Unknown: is no agenda,
Adam Curry: monitoring the informed memories and
broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here
in FEMA Region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
John C Dvorak: curry in from Northern Silicon Valley where
I've come to the conclusion that Drew Barrymore is an annoying
phony. I'm John C. Dvorak,
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. Of all the people, I would think you talk
about Drew Barrymore would be low, close to the bottom of the
list. What happened? How did you how did you even come on? I
mean, her show was on during the day. It's
John C Dvorak: also on locally, it's, it's on during the day,
but it's also on 1130 at night. Oh, really? Yeah. They should
late night for some reason.
Adam Curry: That's, I mean, does anyone watch regular broadcast
TV anymore?
John C Dvorak: I do. Where do you think I get these clips? I
mean,
Adam Curry: I mean, normal people. I mean, the normal
people still watch this. And everyone like just Netflix in
streaming of numbers. There's numbers. There's numbers. Yeah,
they got numbers, but it's not like old numbers, not like
number go
John C Dvorak: old numbers. Those were numbers, numbers.
That's when we were working in television. 100 million people
would watch one show. We got Limo
Adam Curry: Service and our money in a brown paper bag. And
we're those days. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Those days are over.
Adam Curry: And that was cable. Those days are long gone. Long
gone. Oh, man. There's so much going on. There's a lot of fun
things to talk about. There is really Yes. I'm excited. Yes,
yes, it is. This what? Well, there's there's the obvious
marketing that happens every it happens once a year. Once a
year, we got to go and we've got to go promote the military
industrial complex. Once a year. What not the militant? No, for
the for the NDA. You know, this is the $800
John C Dvorak: American public? Yeah. $808
Adam Curry: million. Yeah. So of course, you're not gonna hear
what's really in the bill. I have started to read it. It's
it's another doozy. Matt gates, though, I'll give it to him. At
least he stood up. And he said, No, no, no. There's a lot of
good in here. But there's a lot of there's some things we have
to take out.
Unknown: I regret that I rise in opposition to this NDA, because
there is a great deal of good in it. But only in Washington, must
we bring a bill to the floor so that we are able to militarily
confront China, while at the same time embracing the policies
that make the United States more like China. There is no desire
on the part of our great armed services chairman and even the
Democrats we worked with to have an extension of spying
authorities put in this bill, when we have already seen those
authorities just totally abused 278,000 violations of the
existing law, as the FBI has queried information regarding
Americans. When the Obama appointed Inspector General was
reviewing whether or not the administration was complying
with existing law. They found out we were breaking the law 38
times an hour to extend to the authorities for good word being
violated so that people, the FBI could do queries on their
neighbors, their co workers, their ex lovers that's not
belong in the National Defense Authorization Act.
Adam Curry: Oh, Mr. Gates, you're on the naughty list? No,
no, no, no.
John C Dvorak: Just stop for a second and ask yourself, if you
have access to these, these systems, and you knew there was
no repercussions for abusing them, but in other words, going
and looking up your neighbors or looking after your ex
girlfriends? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Now, if there's no consequences,
no, there, there, it appears there's none whatsoever. Yeah,
that's what you're going to do. You're going to look up your
pals and everybody in between. Sure. So
Adam Curry: the way this works, and we've done this for a number
of years, whenever so Matt Gaetz is on the wrong side of history
here, obviously. I mean, he shut up Matt gates, I didn't get that
off C span. You didn't see that one anywhere. Of course, we've
been tracking the section 702 FISA Bri renewal which is just
barely talked about now. It shouldn't be renewed, but it
will be there will be and what we need to do, the way we run it
in America is we have to ratchet up the fear. Now he had the
right start. He said You know, well of course we want to be
Good China because China China, China, you know, we all you need
to do is you need to have oh, have the alien guy go on Tucker
Carlson because oh, we need more space stuff for the military.
It's all in there growing
Unknown: tensions between the US and China now extending to
hundreds of miles above the Earth.
John C Dvorak: We know when we're threatened, we need to be
able to counter the threat
Unknown: to get an inside look at some of the latest American
technology to counter the Chinese threat. We went to
United Launch alliances factory in Alabama, working on defenses
against things like Chinese satellites that can use robotic
arms to drag other satellites. Meanings China could disable
critical American communication knights
were actually
able to grapple grab a hold of one of their defunct GPS or beta
satellites. What
is the concern about them having that kind of capability in
space,
anything that can interact with the spacecraft for servicing is
inherently capable of interacting with a spacecraft to
harm it, or to gather intelligence from it.
And fears tonight that China is moving faster than the US in
this new space race. But the skies just above us just not
only using satellites, but spies and hypersonic missiles. And
multiple US military officials tell us perhaps most concerning
multiple officials China launched a hypersonic missile
capable of orbiting the globe over and over then suddenly
dropping to Earth before most missile defenses are spawned by
Russia
had that we continue to look at that very closely. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: let's go back we have to look at a lot of this
stuff logically. Yes. So it's gonna go into orbit and and
orbit over and
Adam Curry: over and over. Yeah, it's nuclear. Of course. It just
goes forever. We have a big solar panel on
John C Dvorak: it. So it goes around and around and then it
drops down. We can't see it. We don't know that.
Adam Curry: No, not without $886 billion of Boeing all we need we
need modeling box most
Unknown: concerning. China launched a hypersonic missile
capable of orbiting the globe over and over, then suddenly
dropping to Earth before most missile defense systems can
respond most.
We continue to look at that very closely. But that's a capability
they just recently demonstrated just
recently examples of fence lasers, lasers outmaneuver the
speed of light laser, no lasers.
Adam Curry: Now, I'm going to play play one wow.
John C Dvorak: Got it cost a big dough.
Adam Curry: I want to play one more here. Because we have to
remember, we all got to be your fearful fearful of China.
Unknown: I'm staying on the topic of China. A scary new
report from The Washington Post was
Adam Curry: scary. Ha ha scary new report from the WaPo.
Reading how
Unknown: China's military is likely behind a number of
hackers who have gained computer access to the systems of about
two dozen key American infrastructure facilities around
the nation. Some of the apparently hacked sites include
a water utility in Hawaii on the West Coast oh no oil and gas
pipeline report notes that hackers also tried to gain
access to the Texas power grid Now thankfully, power grid X is
raising an alarm pack to China could use hackers to bring down
key services in America from power plants pipelines and at
the safety of your watering broken a dying is now is former
director of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security
traps. Chris Krebs. Welcome back. am I overstating this? No,
I
read the story.
It seems pretty scary. Scary.
Adam Curry: Pretty scary. This guy is what kind of push you are
you. So pretty scary. It
Unknown: seemed pretty scary. Every
Brian you're not alone, is I talked to national security
officials. They're extremely concerned about the access that
Chinese cyber actors were able to get in not just strategic
targets, but more broadly, and seemingly random or ad hoc
infrastructures across the country. And they've come to the
simple conclusion that this is not just about disruption and
destruction for military purposes, but for also just
broader societal panic and chaos and escalation of hostility. And
that's
John C Dvorak: isn't that what these guys are doing now? This
Adam Curry: is what sold it for me.
John C Dvorak: This panic and can't cry now. This news worked
for the Chinese. No,
Adam Curry: no. This is where we bring in now. We couldn't say
Chinese because Hollywood's not allowed to do that anymore. We
had to say Korea was unclear if was North Korea or South Korea,
South Korea and Iran right on time right on target. Enter the
Obama has
Unknown: something wrong with a TV that's all messed up. It
mean, it
could be over in a couple of hours.
I'm sure this will turn out to be a big nothing. We'll look
back on this one day and laugh I guarantee you
think that ship is heading towards us. And
what would it what does that mean? We shouldn't speculate.
You can pick up on what's going on. And not panic over nothing.
I don't think this is nothing. We're in this together and
things get back.
There is no going back to
Adam Curry: the finish we're gonna be okay. Right? Yeah. And
that's my take on the entire reason for connecting the Obamas
name to leaving the world behind and otherwise, okay, movie
mediocre at best. What made it creepy was the whole the Obamas
produced it. And the whole point because they literally talk
about chaos and fear. That is that's part of the strategy at
the end of the movie. Spoiler alert. Sorry. This is all to get
the to get people focused on Oh, yes, we need oh, we need more
military. It's okay. We need that $900 billion dollars to go
to Raytheon and Boeing. And what are they like four companies
now?
John C Dvorak: Lockheed,
Adam Curry: Lockheed. That's that's what this is all about
Obama, this movie was already purchased. By the time they got
cut. They were added on to the bill. They didn't produce
anything. And all they you know, okay, so a little bit of racism
stuff. And then whatever they added
John C Dvorak: to racism, and they didn't add shit,
Adam Curry: John? No, I have the whole rundown here. They were
brought in after the movie was cast after it was written. It
was good to go. They're only attached because they have a $65
million deal. And they have to put gotta put their name on
something and this legitimizes the whole fear and chaos. Did
you see the movie by any chance? Did you see the whole thing?
John C Dvorak: I did you read the newsletter? Well, I, you
know,
Adam Curry: from the newsletter didn't seem to me like you would
read the whole thing, because you put enps in there, which
were explicitly not a part of this movie. So did you watch it?
John C Dvorak: I watched probably about a quarter of it.
It's very hard to watch. I
Adam Curry: watched the whole thing.
John C Dvorak: It's slow move. Why you must have been bored
stiff? No,
Adam Curry: I reserved for the show.
John C Dvorak: It's slow moving. It's slow moving. The only thing
I thought was funny was the Tesla have seen I think that was
kind of funny. But
Adam Curry: could it be any more coincidental, we get the Tesla
seen. And today, let's start
Unknown: with the bad news. This recall affects almost all Tesla
vehicles sold in the United States. This comes after a two
year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. They found that the company's autopilot mode can
provide inadequate driver engagement that can lead to
misuse of the system. The investigation also found that
using autopilot mode incorrectly or failing to recognize that it
is on can lead to a higher risk of accident now now. Okay, we
Adam Curry: don't have to hear the whole report. But the
coincidence of this happening right now. That was that was
probably the highlight of the movie. I thought that was
hilarious.
John C Dvorak: I well would. But it was a plot hole because I
just wanted any one of many. Because I immediately asked the
question is where are these Tesla's coming from? And why are
they all on the same road? And they're smashing into each
other? I mean, who set them on this path? There was never this
a question. It was never answered, or ash actually cyber
Adam Curry: hack. It was cyber and if you watch the movie, what
you saw was a close up that showed the tags on all these
cars, they had been driven right off that auto.
John C Dvorak: She looks at the tag and that's when she realizes
that Tesla's are coming Yes. The Tesla saw that she she yells at
her husband to get out of the way because it's going to ram it
into their SUV that sitting there and so then they dodge a
bunch of Tesla's coming down the road but that doesn't tell me
that it was anyone who's give me the Tesla factories are not in
where they are which is in the East Coast. And it couldn't
there's no dealership with 1000s of Tesla's and I know they're
all white we
Adam Curry: can both agree that it's full of holes airplanes
don't come crashing out of the sky because because of because
of an airplanes are crashing out of the sky. But the drone
dropping leaflets has no problem. You know so what was
it? You what you hacked the system on the plane, every
single one. I mean, all of it was ridiculous. They have power
for days. Here they have power. They have power for days. Now
this whole the whole thing was full of technical holes. I will
say the end. So the little girl finds a safe room in the
neighbor's, like a bunker in the neighbors house and they pop on
a ham radio kit. And it's actually pretty accurate tune to
a frequency that is our TTY. It has, you know, our TTY coming in
that. Someone who was a ham operator did that part I was
that was one like, Okay, that was good. It would have been in
the book that might have been everything else was just Yeah,
maybe. Okay. And there's a little bit of racial stuff in
there which gets highlighted. But the main thing is they
didn't call out China because they can't because Netflix can't
and Hollywood can't call out China in their movies. So they
call it curry.
John C Dvorak: You can if you don't want to get distribution
whatsoever,
Adam Curry: yes, if you don't want to go anywhere, but I
thought the timing of the release with all these other
stories, literally with the plot of the movie, or the payoff is
oh, this is the big strategy of our adversaries is first you cut
off communications then you confuse us then you've got chaos
and fear and then we all turn on each other except at the end of
course, the white Karen mom holds hands with the with the
black teenage girl. And then it's all great. We're all going
to survive I guess we'll make it together. And please pass that
bill. That was the whole point of it in my mind. Jack people up
John C Dvorak: everything's did Jack people up.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but this was special.
John C Dvorak: This was especially hard to watch. Well,
I
Adam Curry: had no problem watching the whole thing. Well,
I'm
John C Dvorak: sorry. I don't know. Maybe when you get my age.
Here you will have you look at things like this and go I don't
have time for this.
Adam Curry: I woke up this morning at 330 and realized oh
crap, I'm 59 Where did it go? Are
John C Dvorak: you going to be 69? No.
Adam Curry: Where did it go? I'm like What am I doing? What am I
doing my life? I'm watching these movies.
John C Dvorak: Watching it through. I can see he's got I
can't get to sleep. Maybe this will help.
Adam Curry: People like Thanks, man. You spoil the movie for me.
No, please watch.
John C Dvorak: No, there's no way you can there's no set this
point there is no such thing as a spoiler in this movie. No,
there's not. Because there's no plot twist. There's nothing
you're looking at at all though. He's an actually an alien. There
was none of that. There was no plot twist whatsoever. You can't
spoil this
Adam Curry: movie. Oh, you just go. Now you spoil it that
there's no there's no plot this plot is actually
John C Dvorak: that is the spoiler. The spoiler is there's
no spoiler. Yeah. It's like Fight Club.
Adam Curry: But it was the I mean, the whole you know, cyber
attack radiation in cities. The one thing I learned from this is
don't live in a city. That's what I learned from the movie.
bad place to be. You
John C Dvorak: learn that before the movie. What do you think I'm
here in Fredericksburg.
Unknown: Now it's time both free? Yes. Experiment by JC
comparing stories from ABC, CBS.
Adam Curry: That's right, everybody in the headlines.
Johnson diboride has pulled him for us. And where
John C Dvorak: do I do? Actually,
Adam Curry: I know you do. I have
John C Dvorak: a couple of choices this week or this show.
And I picked this group this is a because it's got Richard
angle. Beautiful, beautiful. So this is about this is the same
exact story if you listened to the the two we're gonna play
first, which is NBC and ABC in either order to start with ABC
but these are the stories of of what's going on in Gaza.
Regarding the tunnels, they're gonna flood them and it's got
this exact same script quote from Biden cut exactly the same.
It's as though ABC and NBC are actually the same newsroom is
pathetic, to be honest about it. Then we go to CBS at the end,
where they actually introduced new information, which I thought
was cool, but let's start with ABC. Tonight,
Unknown: Israel flooding the vast labyrinth of tunnels under
Gaza where Hamas leaders are believed to be hiding according
to US officials. This image circulating online shows what
appear to be recently laid pipes running from the sea to the
shore. The IDF isn't commenting, but Israel's fighting to cripple
Hamas is underground tunnel network of concerns tonight
about the safety of the 135 remaining hostages, including
Americans who may remain in those tunnels.
There's assertions being made that there's quite sure there
are no hostages in any of these tunnels. But I don't know that
for a fact
and President Biden today without warning to Israel saying
they're starting to lose the world support because of their
quote, indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, speaking off camera to
fundraiser, Biden with some of his harshest criticism yet for
Prime Minister Netanyahu Calling is government, the most
conservative in Israel's history. Biden also suggesting
the most right wing Israeli leaders want, quote retribution,
not only against Hamas, but against all Palestinians saying
they don't want a two state solution. Biden's comments
exposing a growing divide between the two leaders. I mean,
we're all Benjamin Netanyahu saying today he and the
President disagree about who will govern Gaza after the war.
But Israel's first offensive rages on in Gaza. More than
18,000 Palestinians have been killed according to the Hamas
run health ministry
Adam Curry: now there's our there's our health ministry
again Yeah,
John C Dvorak: and verify but they won't say that. Everything
else he says unverified but there's no verification and by
the way, the most conservative ever that's that included when
they had that guy with the eyepatch.
Adam Curry: Moshe Moshe Moshe Dayan.
John C Dvorak: And yeah, that
Adam Curry: that now that was a guy. Yeah, it
John C Dvorak: was conservative.
Adam Curry: That was a look.
John C Dvorak: That was a look.
Adam Curry: I was a Look man, that iPad to do that. I was a
governor.
John C Dvorak: He was a tough son of a bitch. Yeah,
Adam Curry: he was he was okay. So
John C Dvorak: we're gonna go to Richard Engel, who's going to
basically give almost an identical report is kind of
scrambled a little bit I think there's also some sound effects.
And as dough Engel is anywhere but in some hotel
Adam Curry: ops as we know not to pops, pop tops Yes.
John C Dvorak: And so we're gonna get a little bit of that
and angles always more breathless. He's He's very good
at this. Here we go.
Unknown: He's realist, pushing ahead with its devastating
ground offensive in Gaza, fighting door to door to
overthrow Hamas. By send tonight a US official tells NBC News
Israel is pumping seawater to flood Hamas tunnels in limited
areas of Gaza, saying it's unclear if it will work. There
is
assertions being made that there's quite sure there are no
hostages in any of these tunnels. But I don't know. But I
don't know that for a fact.
Israel's military campaign is now sparking tensions with the
White House. President Biden speaking earlier at a fundraiser
today saying Israel is right to take on Hamas, and has most of
the world supporting them. But they're starting to lose support
by indiscriminate bombing in Gaza. And that Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is government has to change. You
can't say there's no Palestinian state in the future. The
administration wants the more moderate Palestinian authority
to take over postwar Gaza. But does it Yeah, who is rejecting
that? Saying overnight, I will not allow the entry into Gaza of
those who educate for terrorism and support terrorism and
finance terrorism stung today, six a group said the
humanitarian situation in Gaza is in an apocalyptic freefall,
writing the war has killed more than 7500 children more than all
global conflicts last year combined.
Adam Curry: Oh, you forgot to say according to the Hamas run
health ministry,
John C Dvorak: no. Yeah, he said it as though it was fact. Yeah.
Okay. I find that to be more
Adam Curry: than all children combined. Does that include
Africa somehow? I don't think so.
John C Dvorak: I don't know. It's a good it's a good bit.
Unknown: A good bit.
John C Dvorak: It's a good bit
Adam Curry: it's a bit Sure.
John C Dvorak: So now we have it is and so in that vein by the
way I do have some AMY GOODMAN clips on the same thing and she
takes a different perspective believe me. But so now we go to
CBS and so CBS really has some new information is same report
exact same report except there's new information. They add some
dimension to it. They pass off the the flooding the tunnel is
is kind of okay. They don't bring in that Joe Biden exact
same Joe Biden clip is I would say CBS, if we're going to
analyze the three networks has is doing the best of the three
doing the best job of the three.
Unknown: The Israeli military is consolidating control in the
north, demolishing a UN school allegedly used by Hamas in Beit
Hanoun Israeli soldiers cheered Israel's defense minister says
fighting may still last for months
Adam Curry: but you want what were the Israeli soldiers
cheering about? Like yeah, we got to school was that what was
that the point of that? is pretty sick.
John C Dvorak: I have another clip coming up later in the show
where somebody said a dog barking or something in the
background makes no sense whatsoever phone ring i Okay.
We'll play it later. In Beit Hanoun
Unknown: Israeli soldiers cheer. Defense Minister says fighting
may still last for months. But us pressure is rising for Israel
to end its offensive sooner. I'm looking at new pressure is also
rising against Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with
anger growing over an alleged decade long agreement in which
Qatar sent up to $30 million in cash to from us every month, a
strategy known as buying quiet then
knew that the money was going directly into purchasing of
rockets and building of tunnels. Why didn't they stop the money?
Obviously, this concept blew up in everybody's face on October
7. And tonight
in Jerusalem protesters braved the rain to march on the Knesset
demanding Netanyahu bring all hostages still in Gaza home and
calling for his resignation.
He knew what Hamas is doing with this money. So he created some
monster. Some days a monster came out. And
Israel's military has reportedly started to pump seawater into
Hamas tunnel complexes in order to destroy them. One concern
though, is that there may be hostages in some of them. But
President Biden's tonight says quote, There are assertions
being made. There are no hostages inside.
Adam Curry: This has been an interesting narrative. The the
idea that Bibi Netanyahu himself, created this monster,
and then unleashed it and let it happen because he loves killing
children. That's basically I mean, yeah, that's kind of the
assertion. Now, when it comes to
John C Dvorak: a couple of weeks clip, there's a couple of things
to note. One is the idea of buying quiet. I like that term
buying quiet. I like it. I like it, too. I like and if so, Qatar
who everyone thinks is kind of behind Hamas. From this report,
which which I believe since it comes from the network that
might have access to information, the other was
don't. Qatar was actually sending the 30 million a month
to the Hamas to tell him to just calm down. So it was buying
quiet. The idea was they were they were bribing them. So they
weren't the bad guys, Qatar. They were the guys trying to
hey, here's some more money just that's in quiet, calm. Congress,
I
Adam Curry: got a report reports called outsource to Qatar and
the Qatar diaries. I'll just as if that's, you know, they're all
like all the Hamas guys are in one apartment, you know, hanging
out, eating kavika and drinking whatever they have sent in, in
the last 20 years, according to this report, $4.7 billion to US
universities, which would kind of possibly explain the stance
that some of the presidents had of these universities? That's a
lot of money. Yeah, like hundreds of millions per
University. Yeah. And some of them not the ones that were on
trial, by the way, but some of them have, you know, campuses in
Qatar, the Qatar, these don't seem like, like good guys. You
know, and they're buying everything they're buying. They
bought soccer, and then just basically buy it with the World
Cup and then go buy anything we want.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're free spenders.
Adam Curry: I think everyone who was there, including Elon Musk
during the the World Cup does should be condemned for it.
Hanging out with Qataris?
John C Dvorak: Well, nothing in hindsight, yeah, no, it's not
Adam Curry: good. And Biden is not doing himself any favors.
Did you see this? I mean, there was more to that little speech
he did. Now, famously, when he was a senator many years ago,
there's and we'd haven't played this clip. Biden is out there
saying, You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist. I'm a
Zionist. You've seen that clip. Probably.
John C Dvorak: Remember it, he doubled
Adam Curry: down on it. Just during this speech,
Unknown: I got in trouble get criticized very badly about the
southern part of my state and some of the southern parts of
the country. When 35 years ago, I said, you don't have to be due
to be a Zionist and I'm a Zionist.
Adam Curry: This is not at Harvard, by the way. You don't
Unknown: have to be a Zionist folks. Were there no Israel,
there wouldn't be a June world that was safe.
Adam Curry: Now he goes into some now he goes into a famous
Biden I think is a lie. But let's listen to the type
John C Dvorak: of document is a lie.
Unknown: Make no bones about I've had my difference with some
Israeli leadership. I've known baby for now. 51 years. He has a
picture on his desk of he and I when he was a young member of 51
Adam Curry: years he's known him when Bibi was what at MIT or
where he was. I mean, Bibi Netanyahu doesn't
John C Dvorak: make any sense. He just makes this stuff. I
think he's making Israeli
Unknown: service here.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, he was in foreign service here. Oh, As a
spy at MIT,
Unknown: and I was a 32 year old senator, payment
Adam Curry: 32 year olds, so he's now 83 Is that how old he
is? So 51 years ago he was a 32 year old senator. He's not 83 No
of course not lie are nine
Unknown: don't agree the damn thing had to say about the same
today
Adam Curry: he's not I mean, I can just imagine if someone's
cringing like oh man, can we keep where's
John C Dvorak: the 30,000 lies list for this guy? Can
Adam Curry: somebody please call YouTube and get that one deeply
pulled off? Oh, it's a short already Oh no. Oh no, it's on
tick tock for last
John C Dvorak: Well, I would like to play some my AMY GOODMAN
Unknown: morning. AMY GOODMAN flippin
Adam Curry: bound All right, Amy Goodman
John C Dvorak: All right. So we were gonna play that this is
kind of those three by three only this is the AMY GOODMAN
version, brother and it's called the Gaza massacre. Is
Adam Curry: this is this equity This is equity.
John C Dvorak: This is my version of equity
Adam Curry: equity. Okay, very good. All right, guys I've Gaza
massacre.
Unknown: In Gaza. Witnesses say Israeli soldier shot displaced
people at point blank range after they raided Chaga Abu
Salah school and the northern Alfa Luigia area. According to
Al Jazeera newborn babies were reportedly among the victims
heavy bombardment continues throughout the Gaza Strip
including in Rafah and crime Eunice where homes businesses
and schools were leveled and Israeli attacks.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yes. It makes it doesn't but since
sounds credibly blank range Hey, come here. Yeah. Well,
Adam Curry: they Hey, they blew up the school and then they were
dancing. Yeah, we're happy about that. They were happy about it.
We heard by them. I want to point out war sucks. You know,
and war is horrible. But I was what was I watching? Oh, man,
there was who was it? It was someone was talking about I
should probably should have clipped this. Oh, I know. It was
Norman Lear. I was listening to Norman Lear. Interview from five
years ago. So he was well in his 90s. Then he was talking about
when he when that he recently had gone to Berlin. He said it
was so weird, because when the last time I was in Berlin,
wasn't World War Two. But I was bombing. I do two bombing runs
of Berlin. And I knew that there would be civilians there and I
was like, screw. The war does weird things, too. He said,
Yeah. He said that he says scrubs because they deserve it.
So war does weird things to people. It's it's not. It's not
a good product. It's not a great product. It's horrible. Now
John C Dvorak: I wanted to do there was something in those
really reports Biden saying or just discussing that you know,
that maybe the international support is slipping a little bit
and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, well, let's listen to this UN
votes US ally saying yet yes, the UN
Unknown: General Assembly Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to
call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
153 un members approved the resolution 23 Abstain just 10
including the United States voted no. Though non binding the
UN vote is another indication of the mounting isolation of the US
as it continues to support Israel's assault, which has
killed at least 18,000 Palestinians in a little over
two months. Australia which abstained from voting for the
General Assembly ceasefire resolution in October is one of
the latest US allies to split with Biden Administration's
position. This is Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Hwang,
Australia,
alongside 152 Other countries was among the countries which
voted in favor. In doing so. We joined Canada, New Zealand,
Japan, France, and India and many other countries. And in
doing so we have said Israel must respect international
humanitarian law.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is the general assembly it's not the
Security Council. So it's irrelevant.
John C Dvorak: The Security Council's irrelevant to yes
Adam Curry: of course it is. I have an angle report which I'm
surprised you you missed that one because I thought this was a
real this tugged at your heartstrings this was perfect.
In
Unknown: Gaza now, conditions are beyond miserable, heavy
rains and shattered infrastructure today led to
floods 50 miles away in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem.
The mood is sour in the town where Christians believe Jesus
was born, there are no tourists or pilgrims, no tree and manger
square Christmas celebrations have been canceled canceled
solidarity with Gaza inside the Church of the Nativity. We met
Reverend Dmitry Rahim when
you bring your gifts, think of the people in Gaza who are
starving today, starving not only for food but starving for
justice.
In the grotto under the altar, where the faithful believed the
manger ones lay, we were the only ones to witness the rituals
that have continued here for centuries. where it began, no
one is in the mood to celebrate Christmas. Oh
Adam Curry: wow, that guy needs to work on his away in the
manger. He was way off key.
John C Dvorak: So that this one Christmas. That's
Adam Curry: right, Warren Christmas, Christmas is
canceled. And I think we'll see that here. We will see people
canceling their Christmas out of solidarity. I think that will be
a thing that's that would be there's gonna
John C Dvorak: be solidary tea with the Ukrainian people in
Miramar? Possibly Sudan is in solidarity with them. We have
anything Does anyone care about these other people
Adam Curry: because they're not starving. As
Unknown: Israel continues to attack Hamas food is
increasingly scarce in Gaza. A desperate crowd today rushed to
take whatever food aid they could and refer. The UN says
half of the population is starving and diseases are
spreading in southern Gaza. 15 year old roja Bucher today tried
to count the number of times she's been displaced. We are
tired, so tired. We are begging for one bite, she says 90% of
Gazans have been driven from their homes, according to the
UN. Many are now living in the open desert. That wall is the
Egyptian border. The end of the line. Nowhere is left that safe
for Gazans for the hostages.
Adam Curry: So Egypt won't let him give a Hey angle,
John C Dvorak: give them some food if you're there. Ain't
gonna give him some food.
Adam Curry: No, no, no. It's a heart wrenching report. He's
really He's talking about the strings. Now I want to come back
to
John C Dvorak: there or is he is that was he in some some hotel
sweet?
Adam Curry: Green Screen, of course, is what these guys do.
John C Dvorak: Far as I know, they're not letting any American
journalist in the area. So how was he there?
Adam Curry: He was you. It's I don't know. He's hanging out
with what's his face was the Brit who's there now? Yeah, the
intellectual guy. We had a clip of him, what's his name? The guy
who's a smarty pants. He was reporting there anyway. It's
horrible. The whole thing's a mess. source it is. It's a mess,
then it's creating a mess everywhere. Then at the
universities, ah, mess times mess. Harvard, Harvard
Unknown: is arguably the world's best known and most prestigious
university. This institution which shapes the American elite,
has become a flashpoint in the US reaction to the Israel Hamas
conflict deprives Palestinians dignity of burying. This is a
member of the Palestine support committee, the first student
groups to issue a statement after October 7, it was
contentious notably because it accused Israel of being entirely
responsible for the Hamas attack. Without a word for the
Israeli victims.
It was just intended to contextualize the situation
within 75 years of occupation within decades of seeds within
apartheid within settler colonialism within ethnic
cleansing. And I think it was supposed to warn of the coming
violence that we would surely see in weeks to follow.
So why not condemn Hamas?
Harvard refuses to call a genocide a genocide?
We put that question to the students who refuse to answer
like, you know,
I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. There has absolutely
been a double standard in how mainstream media approaches this
need to recognize the Zionist regime for what it is. And that
is a settler colonial regime that seeks to wipe the historic
land of Palestine clean of any Palestinians in order to create
their own land that excludes and eliminates other people. Okay,
Adam Curry: so this this kind of triggered me because in
following on the clips that you had on last show, were why
somebody really yelled at me about that. You know, where what
well about the the kid who was there, you know, well, once we,
John C Dvorak: once we get rid of Israel.
Adam Curry: Yeah, somebody asked, because like usually just
laughing at dead people. No, no.
John C Dvorak: Laughing a
Adam Curry: dead people. People don't listen very well. It
doesn't matter. This is not a typical universe. Many students
have been brainwashed, there's an entire. And when I say it's
not about Israel, Hamas is about colonialism. The West is bad,
white is bad men are bad, straight white old men very,
very bad, very bad, especially in the West. And this and this
is an ongoing program. And it's it's very understandable when
you look at the history, history listening and coming. When you
look at the history, you know, what was the last thing they
were protesting for? I mean, besides the ongoing LGBTQ plus
which usurped lives matter, black lives matter. And there
has been a long standing, long standing operation going on
between black Americans and the Palestinian region. I'm saying
that purposely Palestine. This has been going on since almost
before I was born. In
Unknown: 1964, Malcolm X published an article in the
Egyptian Gazette called Zionist logic, in which he drew
parallels between the oppression of Palestinians and Africans.
Instead of seeing it as a religious conflict, Malcolm saw
Israel as a colonial project serving a wider imperialist
agenda. Seeing European imperialists wisely placed
Israel where she could geographically divided the Arab
world. In the same year, Malcolm was one of the first African
leaders to publicly meet with the Palestine Liberation
Organization as anti colonial struggles gain traction through
the world. Freedom for Palestinians became a touchstone
for the international fight against imperialism. As black
freedom movements expanded their worldview to situate their
struggle as part of a global anti colonial movement.
Palestine also became an important focal point of their
solidarity. On August 15 1967, the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee released a position paper entitled The
Middle East crisis, expressing support for Palestine and
criticizing us support for Israel. Organizations such as
the Black Panthers argued that freedom would never come for
black people in America unless all oppressed people were free.
The Panthers frequently spoke of black communities and their
relationship with police as living under occupation as
internally colonized people. They were vocal in their support
for Palestine, and met with the PLO in Algiers in 1969. So
Adam Curry: that's black panthers and Malcolm.
John C Dvorak: Second, whoever got you that clip, I'm gonna
give you a clip of the day. That's a beauty.
Adam Curry: Oh, thank you, I got that myself from TRT.
John C Dvorak: Give yourself a pat on the back. Well, so
Adam Curry: I've another one. I've a second but follow up. But
go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Israel's
John C Dvorak: not in A is not put in. It's not in the spot
that's dividing the Arab nations. It's in between the
Egyptians and Arabs, there's no other it's not like in the
middle between Saudi Arabia and the UAE or anything like that.
That's nonsense. But yeah, I understand. I remembered some of
this from my days at Cal Berkeley, these the same thing,
Adam Curry: it's the same thing. And black Americans from early
on, were infiltrated by Marxist, the true Marxist came in and
right away when Hey, the Marxist were in the south in America,
trying to get people to get on board. And the only people who
showed up were black people. Like, hey, these guys care about
us. They're listening to us. And there's long standing friction
between blacks and Jews in America. So this wedge has been
played for a long time. And it always comes down to America
Bad, bad, bad colonialism. I'm not saying that. It's there's
not no colonialism going on here. But this is not a new
thing. In fact, let's go back a little less far.
Unknown: Muhammad Ali also declared his support for the
Palestinian struggle, marching for Palestinian rights and
visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. In
1979, Reverend Jesse Jackson met with the PLO and pushed for the
US to deal directly with the organization in pursuit of a
peace deal
just and lasting peace is inextricably bound for a state
of the Palestinian people, and the recognition of the PLO as
the government in exile with which our nation must negotiate.
This was a significant shift in support for Palestine moving
from radical groups to more mainstream figures who were able
to lobby for shifts in US policy. 10 years later, Jackson
would find himself in an audience in Harlem as Nelson
Mandela addressed a packed town home
as far as Yasser Arafat is concerned. I explained to Mr.
City that we identify with a piano it causes just like
ourselves. They are fighting for the right of self determination.
Adam Curry: So Actually IBM now I think about I want to make
sure there was there might have been a producer who sent me this
I may be wrong it may or may not have been my discovery alone. I
don't want to I don't want don't want to take no Stolen Valor.
Stolen
John C Dvorak: Valor Oh my god. So I should mention a couple of
things one when I went and visited Israel some time ago but
before I did I was given a briefing on some of the stuff
going on and I was told that it was never going to be any such
two state solution once they're there they're never going to
schism had to exist because of basic corruption and he this guy
Israeli course so as the information could be slanted but
he pointed me to a Time magazine article that one of them though
he says by this writer who's has gotten jobs jobs since
discussing the kind of corruption that goes on in the
in the way it would be, become Gaza, which would which included
Coca Cola concessions, yeah, yes, that only went to a certain
group of people that were and it was all everything was bought
and paid for by bribery. And it was so much money being made off
of through the via the PLO, and that's the reason that we always
forget the fact that when after he died, it was discovered that
Yasser Arafat had billions of dollars stored away in a in a
Swiss bank, which had you get built not to a couple of bucks,
but a billions. Yeah. And it was full
Adam Curry: of crap. Everyone's full of crap.
John C Dvorak: Everyone's fully crap. And
Adam Curry: people they don't care about their people, just
like our so called leaders don't actually care about us. The
faster people realize that the better. You know, this, this
just no care in the world and you don't have to choose a side.
You can be choosing sides all day long as we keep pointing out
this sides everywhere. How about looking at your own city or your
own neighborhood? How's it going there have potholes? I do have
some black lives matter. Trans Maoist, racist stuff. Two fun
clips.
John C Dvorak: That's always always fun, always fun.
Adam Curry: And the first one is James O'Keefe. The man he
doesn't need his donors. He's doing just fine. He got a zoom
call from the CEO of IBM. Who is
John C Dvorak: he the Indian, I think is Indian. I thought the
CEO was Gina Rometty.
Adam Curry: This is from 2021.
John C Dvorak: I thought the CEO then was was her. Ah,
Adam Curry: who was this guy then CEO, IBM. Let me see.
Ma'am. Now Arvid Krishna.
John C Dvorak: Arvind Krishna. Yeah. Is he the CEO? Yeah.
Adam Curry: I guess I would maybe choose chairman and CEO
since April 2020. took on the role of chairman in 2021.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we're behind to what I know. No
kidding. What
Adam Curry: do we know?
John C Dvorak: It was during COVID. You know, anything that
happened during COVID.
Adam Curry: Also, on this zoom call, was the CEO of Red Hat,
which has since been acquired, which was an acquisition by
John C Dvorak: the algo.
Adam Curry: Looks like a white dude. Then there's this. She
doesn't talk much. There's some like a PR lady who's just
smiling like a doofus on camera the whole time. He has a whole
report. I'm gonna play one minute of it, you'll get the
idea pretty quick.
Unknown: We take underrepresented and gender you
got to move both forward by a percentage that leads to a plus
on a bonus. By the way, if you lose, you lose part of your
bonus. I'm not trying to finesse this. So for blacks, we should
try to get to a 13 point something percent on Hispanics.
You gotta get into the mid teens. Alleppey say, Asians in
the US. I'm not an underrepresented minority in a
tech company. James
O'Keefe here outside of IBM's corporate headquarters in
Armonk, New York. And IBM insider has provided us with an
internal video showing the CEO of IBM Arban Krishna using
coercion to fire people and take away their bonuses unless they
discriminate in the hiring process. Let me go
deeper into Red Hat multiple leaders over the last year plus
that were held accountable to the point that they're no longer
here at Red Hat because they weren't willing to live up to
the standards that we set in this space. This conversation
takes place every single day. And a lot of it's behind the
scenes,
the terminated executives that didn't discriminate yet another
violation of Title Seven, one of the biggest companies in the
world, one of the most valuable and recognizable brands on
Earth.
Adam Curry: So they had quotas, you know, oh, you need to hire
2% more black people. 2% more trans people that quotas and if
you didn't, if you didn't do it, then you'd either your bonus
will get docked or you Couldn't get fired outright. How about
that? Wow. Yeah. Wow was right, IBM. I mean, I wish I wish there
was a product that could ban but I don't use any I mean, who uses
IBM products? I'm sure we all use it indirectly.
John C Dvorak: Because there's, there's they have things here in
there.
Adam Curry: When's the last time you bought an IBM PC? ThinkPad?
Do they still exist that did they are they still they
John C Dvorak: sold the whole business on Lenovo. Lenovo.
Right, right. So they don't even make those anymore. And I don't
know what they you know, they think they still make some sort
of chips.
Adam Curry: But this goes on everywhere in boardrooms and
executive suites across the United States. I know candle
have many examples
John C Dvorak: of the meritocracy that this country
was founded on No
Adam Curry: man, it's about your gender and your skin color began
and that is a direct result of Larry Fink's invention, which is
backpedaling on ESG, which are a big part of your ESG your
environmental social governance score is your diversity and
equity inside your corporation along with your green washing.
Oh, it's horrible. And it makes these companies suck. And there
you go. IBM. I think you suck. Where's your AI? Where's your
Watson? No. But that's okay. Because racism is
John C Dvorak: they end up
Adam Curry: failing in the market. Oh, yeah. Eventually
eventually. Yeah. And okie for not doing well help them.
John C Dvorak: Right. Keith is helping them helping them. Yes,
helping them fail,
Adam Curry: but they will fail in the market because if you
bring in mediocre people eventually just get mediocre
product and and it's very hard to swing that boat around once
you've once it's ingrained in the organization. Boss Boston
though the mayor of Boston oh man a little email boo boo
Boston Mayor
Unknown: Michelle Wu showing up to her Beacon Hill holiday party
and all smiles after an email error sparked controversy
surrounding the festive affair.
It was a one of those emails that we've all sent at one point
or another no
and it was obtained by a member of the mayor's staff to the
entire city council Tuesday. I cordially invite you and a guest
to the electeds of color holiday party. But 15 minutes later
another email went out rescinding that invite to the
white councillors clarifying I did send that to everyone by
accident. I apologize if my email may have offended mistake
or not. City Councilor Frank Baker says this is just one
example of the racial divisions inside City Hall.
Well, yeah, I do find it divisive but you know what do
you what are you going to do about it? You don't want me at a
party I'm uncomfortable body. So you know,
the event has been happening for years and the mayor is defending
the party. I can
understand someone would be confused or worried if certain
people weren't being invited. Or were being left out of any type
of celebration, but they're I assure you, everyone on the
Boston City Council has gotten an invitation to multiple types
of events and holiday parties
that the mayor says that there will be another party at the
same location on another date where all city officials are
invited to attend
Adam Curry: scandalous there was a Christmas party the for the
elected people of color which as mo would say is another way of
saying elected color people so that's all he can hear such
John C Dvorak: it yeah I'm I'm so I can be honest about that's
what I always hear to bull
Adam Curry: crap term is racist. It's just racist.
John C Dvorak: And then they do a segregated party. Yes. Yes.
Adam Curry: Segregated party. It is. I mean, why you should go
throw a party at IBM. You fit right in with their with their
culture. Okay. Now, this is this has got to be my favorite topic
for for today. You're on a roll. Yeah, no, there's this. There's
John C Dvorak: a show at the mall or something.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, no, Moe and I are due for a show that we're
due for a show you know, something really beautiful
happen. So I was listening to my favorite show the hate listen.
Oh, your pivot? Yes. pivot here we go with Professor Prof. G and
your protege.
John C Dvorak: Stop and tell you something. I was reluctant to
tell you but I'm going to tell you all right. So I'm talking to
Mia Mia. She's doing the good news stuff. And just like she's
white, she overdoing it issues. She's
Adam Curry: picking the good news currently,
John C Dvorak: because she's got she'd give me 20 of them. And I
thought, Oh my God.
Adam Curry: Maybe it's like good news.
John C Dvorak: So she says that, you know, Adam is better on the
show than ever before. He's not so testy. He's not so uptight
about everything you say. He's not like Like, he's not like an
old lesbian that's agreeing with her when she says this, and she
says she says he's funnier. He's doesn't get offended by
everything like he used to. Wow. And this she said, It's because
he stopped smoking dope.
Adam Curry: I think that's a part of it. Possibly. Yeah. was
part of it. I mean,
John C Dvorak: yes. Well, I mean, I said that until he does
smoke dope or tobacco products anymore. Changes. A little bit.
My dnn is religious. Yeah. Yeah, he's a little bit of accepting.
But Jesus,
Adam Curry: I have saved me.
John C Dvorak: She's not a fan of you being saved. But no, he
says, even I said religion will. Should if it works, keep him
from going back to smoking pot all the time. I'm not gonna
smoke anymore. Because you were and people don't realize this.
You were basically 24/7 on a heater. You were a 24/7 smoker
waken big baby.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah.
John C Dvorak: And ever. I never thought it really affected your
personality, but she says is noticeable. Oh,
Adam Curry: well, that's not according to one of our
donations that we'll have later on.
John C Dvorak: You're a hater.
Adam Curry: I don't know what I am. Anyway. I'm not a hater. So
now that what's interesting is this, uh, the Heritage
Foundation came out with a document. And this is the
genesis of what's going on here. If this document is called
Project 2025. And, well, maybe we can talk about that in a
moment. But this is basically the conservative slash
Republican manual for all the things they want to do. And it's
very Heritage Foundation. It's, it's 1000 pages is a big
document. And as you can imagine, it's you know, stuff
like, hey, racism against white people is racism. Hey, let's,
let's let's try and reduce this abortion epidemic. We've got,
you know, it's all the Heritage Foundation stuff you'd expect.
But this is not the Heritage Fund. Oh, no, this is Trump.
John C Dvorak: This is all about Trump. So Trump Yeah. Oh, yeah.
What's up? We'll get to this came out of the heritage. Yeah,
but Trump is trumping the heritage or are not even close.
I know I know.
Adam Curry: But, but before we get to that part, I first want
to go to the hate Listen, which I adore them. I just want you to
know that if they were value for value, I'd send them value. I
disagree
John C Dvorak: with this with what you don't do. You don't
endure them. You don't like I missed the show door.
Adam Curry: I said a door you said indoor and outdoor. I said
I adore them. You endure them now. You heard it wrong. I said
I adore them. I do I adore them.
John C Dvorak: I hold back the chain.
Adam Curry: I love Kara's paw. I love it when she's when she goes
on shows as Elon Musk has dropped the effort. This is a 52
year old man. What
John C Dvorak: did you know she used to love you pointed this
out. She used to be a big huge fan of Ilan Yeah, what happened
between those two? Well,
Adam Curry: you know she is a she's a pushover. She takes
she's accessed journalist.
John C Dvorak: You know if Ilan said something good about her. I
bet she she turned the corner on this. Oh, in
Adam Curry: a heartbeat. She was all Apple the stupid visor. It's
no good. This vision pro what is like Google Glass. They invite
her for a demo. Wow. This is the future. Please, please. Now
Elon. Elon shined her on and said now be whatever, I'm the
meal. And, you know, I gave Elon all the breaks. I created Elon
Musk. It doesn't matter. They had they had Dan Pfeiffer on Dan
Pfeiffer where he's from pod save America. He's from that
whole that whole group. And he's actually I was in my money. He's
the smartest of the group and he was an Obama advisor.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, these guys are the pod save America as are
all the oh by the right bottom left wingers of podcasting. Yes,
it's not Chapo. traphouse. Knows close.
Adam Curry: Pfeiffer is a smart guy. And he goes on the end. He
has a podcast, which is kind of why I was listening because he
has a podcast called the polar coaster. I know right, get off
the polar coaster because it's all about polls. Anyway, he goes
on and he gives a recommendation, what the
Democrats should not do what they explained what they should
not be doing. With Trump right now. We have focused
Unknown: and I think rightfully on Donald Trump's thing on day
one. But what keeps getting left out is what he said right after
that, which he's going to, he basically said, I am going to
abuse power to secure the border and quote drill, drill drill.
Right? So what he is trying to do is to say, I am going to be
an authoritarian but I'm going to be authoritarian for you.
Here's all I'm going to help your wife right. These we know
that these things people care a lot about cost of energy. And
border is at the top of it's right below inflation on a lot
of the polls in terms of concerns for voters. What
Democrats should do is not it we is we should avoid some traps.
First is we shouldn't run around talking about how strong Donald
Trump is because strength is part of his appeal. We have to
talk about his knee the fact that he is weak, right that he
that Donald Trump has ever stood up to anyone in his life. He
bails on the CEOs he bows down to dictators. He's running for
president not to help you but because afraid to face the
consequences for his actions in office last time and make it
about his weakness, right, Donald Trump what that is a trap
to make us talk about how strong and fearful he is. Next, and
this is really important as we have to talk about how what
Donald Trump would do how him being a dictator or seizing
power abusing her would affect you. Right, I think one great
way to do this talk about abortion. Right, the Heritage
Foundation and others have talked about how even if Donald
Trump is unable to pass a federal abortion ban, they can
weaponize the federal government to put in fact a de facto
federal abortion ban.
Adam Curry: So he's read the Heritage Foundation document and
he makes a really smart point here. He says, Don't be talking
about him being the dictator. Don't do that, because that only
solidifies He's a powerful, powerful man. He specifically
and I think smartly says no, we should not be doing this. Super
cut time.
Unknown: What would a second Donald Trump term look like?
Well, he cannot be the next president. It because if he is
you can't imagine the things that he's going to do. Mexico,
Canada, we can go to Canada because eventually Canada will
become an ex to America and shoot visitors to the White
House. That means he can shut the First Lady.
We're gonna see violence, the likes of which we didn't even
see on January 6.
Make it illegal to run against him to throw his opponents in
jail to shut down the media, he will make
himself into the furor. And he will make everybody raise their
hand
and salute him using martial law against American germinate
the Constitution, we write the constitution. Camps throw
everyone into Gitmo might be sent to jail
or their rights might be suppressed. Especially minority
groups in society
you might have any number of things happen to you and your
family, every one of
us our freedom or liberty. None of us is safe. It's going to
have people around him executing against an enemies list,
assassinate
generals ordering troops
to attack American citizens, very well
armed extremist base, we will try to kill people
John C Dvorak: when he's going to basically burn the house
Unknown: down, he will unravel the institutions of our
democracy, draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler,
Hitler and Benito Mussolini,
Donald Trump even more dangerous wants
to take away your vote Senate in the house are immediately going
to be paralyzed. People will begin in their minds to censor
themselves. They might say, well, maybe I shouldn't say this
is the end of democracy.
I think that could be the end of our democracy. But democracy is
dead if Trump is reelected.
Democracy will be at risk. The absolute destruction of the
Justice Department as
we know it, the Justice Department could be entirely
transformed.
I really concerned about that
person who was associated with the attempted coup elevated in
the
administration. he's reelected he will curb transgender rights
and the rule of law, arrest political opponents to
persecute, not prosecute or persecute his enemies
take a wrecking ball to the rule of law, he's
going to make the law everyone else will have to follow the
vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever
get to vote in
go after the independent and free parts of American civic
life
with tear down our institutions. Birds, the government of
employees department by department effort to weaponize
the powers of the government to use the military to quash
protests, reading the government of all democratic safeguards,
junking American democracy, as we have always known it, that he
would try to stay in office beyond a second term. He would
never leave office, there's no question Trump is reelected. He
won't leave. Trump will never leave office voluntarily. And
what that means
is that everybody who wants us to remain a republic
has to put every other thing aside and work together urgently
right now to stop that from happening. So
Adam Curry: props to gray Bian for putting that together. So do
they heed any advice? No. Well,
John C Dvorak: the Republicans are the same way. I was
listening to of all people I don't like him, which is Sean
Hannity. And he's giving advice to the party about you know, how
to ride this abortion thing correctly. And of course, no
one's gonna pay any attention to him they're gonna lose a lot of
votes because they're gonna get whiplash rip whip. whipsaw
whipsawed by the Democrats on abortion issues if
Adam Curry: if the Democrats can drag themselves away from the
Hitler, Mussolini dictator thing, which I think is exactly
why Trump did that. Well,
John C Dvorak: not as you mentioned that I because I think
that analysis by your podcasting friend was right on the money. I
think so too. And we've noticed this on this show. He doesn't
know how to pick people for his cabinet. He just basically Are
you a backstabber You're hired. brings in people like the
walrus,
Adam Curry: Bolton, Bolton,
John C Dvorak: what would you hire that guy?
Adam Curry: He's a fart sniffer.
John C Dvorak: We never got a whole slew of Council on Foreign
Relations, people that are set up to go against him and the
drop of a hat. Yeah. And it's just, you know, but on the other
hand, you got Biden.
Adam Curry: Well, do you want to hear it? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I agree with everything that you played
there.
Adam Curry: So here's a video from this other project. 2025
project 2020 five.org. I mean, this is a video from it, just to
give you an idea of
Unknown: conservatives exist, to conserve the ideals of the
American founding, these ideas are actually the
Adam Curry: source of our recovery. Notice the difference
in in music ta January
Unknown: 20. When the President puts his hand on the Bible,
everything changes.
Our goal is to ensure that the conservative administration that
takes office in January 25 is ready on day one, the next
conservative president will only be able to do so with your help.
And the President of the conservative partnership
Institute, Vice President of Hillsdale College, the head of
the Office of Justice Programs, Assistant Secretary
for Public Affairs, senior adviser to the president,
Assistant press secretary.
You're here to cut government and you're here to do something
that's not in
their interest. The deep state is real. You want to be someone
who knows answers. As
a public servant, you're working on behalf of the American
people, the greatest country on the planet.
Adam Curry: Johnson sure that that power is executed
responsibly. So they have a whole training project. You
know, they've got materials, they've got their whole policy
directive. I mean, it's not a Trump thing. They have the
mandate for leadership. You know, our goal is to assemble an
army of aligned, vetted, trained and prepared conservatives to go
to work on day one, to deconstruct the administrative
state. I don't think there's American that doesn't agree with
that. That there's an administrative state has gone
too far. So fine, you know, but it's not a Trump thing. It's
just not I don't think Trump is all that tight with the Heritage
Foundation
John C Dvorak: of these that tight with conservatives in
general. Yeah. Well, so
Adam Curry: you can stop this next one, whenever you want
this, this was a Tiktok. guy. And he read the document, which
was dug a big document Project 2025, which in his mind is
Trump. This is not the Heritage Foundation. In his mind. This is
the Trump document. And you can deconstruct just by listening to
what he's saying, but how He's twisting the words of what's
actually in there, I think you'll like it. You haven't
heard her
Unknown: project 2025 Stop what you're doing. And watch this
project. 2025 is a plan for Trump's second term that would
transform America into a far right Christian nationalist
militarized state. You can read the nearly 1000 Page plan for
yourself at Project 2020 five.org. So you can know I
am not exaggerating three key facts. Number one, a mass firing
purge that Trump authorized before the 2020 election but
never got the act on is at the center of Project 2025. Now,
more than 2 million Americans across the country are part of
the Federal civilian workforce scientists and scientific
agencies, doctors at the FDA accountants at the IRS, we want
experts doing jobs that require expertise. So
Adam Curry: the document says, Hey, we gotta get we got to pair
these agencies down there. They're badgering the American
public that turns into, we want our doctors we want our tax
experts, but more
Unknown: than 50,000 of them would be fired under this plan
and replaced with mega loyalists. Oh, will you lose the
power of these agencies to fundamentally change the nature
of America? Yes out needing to involve Congress without
Congress to Project 2025 is a far right Christian nationalist
agenda. Oh, there must be Nazis like page five they're already
proclaiming pornography should be outlawed, but people who not
Adam Curry: okay, so I know a lot of people are what hold on a
second man Don't touch my porn. But that's not what they're
talking about this this is a great twist of, of what's
actually in there because of course it talking about the
material that is in books in schools in grade schools to
John C Dvorak: grade schools with all the basically
pornography that has been kind of slipped into the grade
schools made in California, they made it illegal to take those
books out of the schools because
Adam Curry: because porn is great and push that
John C Dvorak: through, but he doesn't really know what he's
doing.
Adam Curry: But But it's interesting that he phrases this
as they're going to outlaw pornography. I mean, everyone's
like, what, what?
John C Dvorak: What are you gonna do? interesting twist.
Adam Curry: Listen to the whole thing. 25
Unknown: is a far right Christian nationalist agenda. By
page five, they're already proclaiming pornography should
be outlawed. But people who produce and distribute it should
be imprisoned educators and public librarians who purvey it
should be classed as registered sex offenders. This would be
alarming enough if they were talking about actual
pornography, but their definition spans anything that
acknowledges the existence of LGBTQ people claim on page 451
that families comprised of a married mother, father and their
children are the foundation of a well ordered nation and healthy
society, thereby designating queer people, single parents,
unmarried co parents, and people who get abortions as inherently
inferior and a threat to the states. Notice the people who
get abortions on page 584, they call for the Department of Labor
to explicitly give companies permission to discriminate
against LGBTQ Americans on page four,
Adam Curry: this is your thing. This is your thing. You know,
you always say you don't want people with with the tattoos and
the piercings and the hair. You don't want them in your company.
That is your horrible LGBTQ plus hater.
John C Dvorak: I'm not an LGBTQ hater. My take is, and I don't
think it's got anything to do with any of these issues. Or you
don't want certain kinds of mentalities in your company that
will just bring in others of the same ilk. And then they'll turn
on you. Yes, Your company has to be configured has to have one
corporate culture of people that are all in agreement lockstep so
the company can survive can survive and do well. So I say
make sure to do testing to make sure that the woke aren't hired.
Adam Curry: So you don't need to hear more of this. Do you have
this particular one? I think you've heard enough. Are you are
you pining for more? Do you want more? I can play a little
John C Dvorak: you know, you can stop because I think you're
probably Yeah, I but yeah, yeah, this is what you do. So you just
read interpret, you can do that with anything. And you just did
it by turning on me.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's right. I turned on. Yeah. Because, you
know, no longer smoking dope turned on you. That's
John C Dvorak: exactly the reason. If you were smoking
dope, or whatever.
Adam Curry: Cool, man. So now, the veck Vivec. All of a sudden,
it dawned on me. He's working for Trump. His job is the same
job. No, but I mean, I hadn't dawned on me until I saw parts
of his of his town hall, which was quite funny. A couple of,
John C Dvorak: he's hilarious. In fact, he's, he's, he's
outdoing Trump in a lot of ways. No, I
Adam Curry: think his whole that's the whole Trump was like,
here's what you do. And he's may even be writing some stick for
him. Stick a stick because Vivec is doing stick and he's he's in
his good, and he's snappy. And he is he is, I mean, he
obviously has fu money so he doesn't care.
John C Dvorak: And I think you know, he couldn't have a
comedian coach. It feels
Adam Curry: like it. He's he even his hair. His hair wasn't
all crazy up in the air like that all like Bozo before. I
mean, he's Have you noticed this? I'm a hair guy. Yeah. His
hairs kind of his hairs a little wacky,
John C Dvorak: little more manic.
Adam Curry: A little more manic. Exactly. And just as Chris
Christie's entire raison d'etre, which is friends for reason for
being is to protect Nimrod.
John C Dvorak: What's your name? Nimrod,
Adam Curry: Nimrod, Haley, Nikki,
John C Dvorak: Nikki, Haley, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick,
Nikki.
Adam Curry: The his whole job is to protect her is to encircle
her. And to you know, to the ward I'm the beside during That
debate for what we could watch of it. So Overbeck is of avec is
doing the same thing for Trump, but he's go, he's going out
there, and he's delivering the Trump message. If you had
Unknown: told me it's close to three years ago that January
6 2021 happened if you'd told me three years ago, back when I was
a biotech CEO, not steeped in this world. I was just consuming
passive media, but was focused on my world of developing
medicines. If you had told me that January 6 was in any way an
inside job the subject of government entrapment. I would
have told you that was crazy talk. Fringe, this is
Adam Curry: good. By the way, this this is a good way to put
it. Hey, you know, I mean, I was making medicines that my mom
somehow was involved with, okay, it doesn't matter. I was making
medicines. I was. I was a biotech guy.
John C Dvorak: I have a red book prediction. Go because if this
guy is, is doing a cover for Trump, what is he going to end
up as he's gonna get a government job? Yes.
Adam Curry: He's getting a gig. Sure. I
John C Dvorak: have had the prediction, okay. ambassadorship
good. What his own choosing? Yeah,
Adam Curry: but what would he choose? Well, he
John C Dvorak: could choose India. He could really have fun
down there. No, he
Adam Curry: bought the ones you want. You want London you want
Paris? Paris? Yeah. You
John C Dvorak: don't want India John Doerr over here at Kleiner
Perkins was always supportive. He wanted London he always
various that he went to Paris. Oh, either way. And he couldn't
get on the wrong horse. It was too funny. Yeah. Did
Adam Curry: you? Did you grow? You're right. His he's like has
Kramer from Seinfeld hair. That's what he's got. It's
Kramer hair. There's something about it. It's anyway. So he's
styled. He's doing as I was reading People magazine, I will.
I'm reading USA Today. I watch Entertainment Tonight. I thought
this would have been crazy. But no, I would
Unknown: have told you that was crazy talk. Fringe conspiracy
theory nonsense. I can tell you now having gone somewhat deep in
this. It's not. I mean, the reality is this.
Adam Curry: Now, listen to the back and forth with him. The
news model from CNN, we
Unknown: do have a government. First of all, we have to
acknowledge that has lied to us systematically over the last
several years about the origin of COVID-19. About the Hunter
Biden laptop that we were told was false. Yes, my 51 CIA
experts and otherwise, before we now know that it was true, you
could go straight down the list of Trump Russia, disinformation,
collusion, hoax, all of it. Now we've come to January 6. The
reality is we know that there were federal law enforcement
agents in that field. We don't know how many. I think it's
shameful. Let me finish this answer. But
let me just I'm gonna go ahead and interrupt you here. Because
Because that the stablishment has improved.
Adam Curry: Federal Did you catch when he says, I know I
missed it. He says, Yeah, I understand. You have to
interrupt me because the establishment does not approve
this message. I get he's, he's, he's doing stick.
Unknown: I'm gonna go ahead and interrupt you here. Because
Because that establishment has approved this message. I know
there were federal you're saying that there were a federal
system. This is important.
Adam Curry: I think they're clapping for him and not for her
probably.
Unknown: On January. There is no evidence that there were federal
agents in the crowd on January. So
why before Congress when pressed on what the number was they
didn't say they were not they just couldn't
see them. You're saying that there's no that you have not
seen any evidence? We've seen more and so you've
seen multiple informants suggesting that there were we
know people we know people were FBI informants. So we're asking
is there any major
comeback question but let me clarify it was very
uncomfortable for I
Adam Curry: know it's uncomfortable for you. He's like
I feel bad for you. I know I understand. You have to do this.
I know the control rooms yelling in you. I'm so sorry
Unknown: to give you hard facts. And if I may I be I know this
can be a little uncomfortable. We're gonna we're gonna go just
so you can you can even put
Adam Curry: I'm waiting for the evidence. She was like, This is
gonna be great. This is my launch into a primetime show on
CNN where girl What is this guy doing uncomfortable,
Unknown: but we're gonna we're gonna go through it and you can
you can, you can push the evidence and you can push back
on that and let's do this fairly. Why did they suppress
footage of now what's been released 200 hours of footage of
shooting rubber bullets into that crowd shooting tear gas
into that crowd. You didn't see that before you saw what the
response was to that. Now you'll see footage coming out of
actually rolling out the red carpet for Capitol Police
allowing
Ramaswamy in again right through the front back to maturity that
Adam Curry: she's trying to live No, no that the vast majority of
that footage. Or at
Unknown: least the footage shows my DPS officers being over
talking about one more really important writers that I'm going
to write
very, I'm not sure if I can finish it. I'm not sure if
the samples to the country to the country sample
John C Dvorak: and stop it. So what you've got here Er, which
is the interesting part. This is supposed to be a debate between
the candidates.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, this is not a debate. This is the town
hall.
John C Dvorak: This is the town hall.
Adam Curry: Poor lady Abby.
John C Dvorak: She's is she supposed to be arguing with the
guy?
Adam Curry: Yes. Because cherry pick and tell them the vast
majority. Tell them tell them tell them you tell them. That's
what's going on. That's
John C Dvorak: what they all want. But that's what's going
on. But it's that's the format? No, of
Adam Curry: course not. He's supposed to ask a question with
the guy answer. But the job now of the interviewer is to fact
check in real time. I know this because that's what Prof. G and
Kara are always talking about. They want fact checking in real
time. But her facts don't add up.
Unknown: What here's what? I'm not cherry picking. I finish it.
I'm not sure if the samples
to the country to the contract. For example. Government is what
government
was afforded. When there was 200 hours of cherry picking was the
government not made
Adam Curry: good. That's it. That's that's someone who knows
what he's doing. He's been trained. He
John C Dvorak: is quick on the draw. There's no doubt about it.
We've noticed that from the get go. Yeah. So he's fast on his
feet. Yeah. He's also been coached, obviously. I think
obviously. And he's been and his timing is good. Yes.
Adam Curry: And he's just any any, like a board physical with
a big plate and you know, big plank in front of his head is
like, just ran right through just talking right over her.
This.
John C Dvorak: This explains from the beginning when we both
were suspicious of the guy. Why is he here? Yeah. What is he
doing it? And you had heard the talk, right wing talk show guy
say the same thing. What is this guy? Does he thinks he's good.
They all say the same thing. He's really good. But why is he
does he expect to win anything? What's going on? I think you
nailed it. Ambassador guy is there as a foil. And he's great.
And he is really good.
Adam Curry: And he and he sticks it all the way in and rotates,
and right up through the throat with this one.
Unknown: And let me let me just finish one thing, because this
is super important as well. When you think there's a civil
libertarian issue of our time when Richard was kidnapping. I
want to keep it going to be really clear on this because
it's the same issue the same FBI same even part of the FBI. Three
people who are an alleged plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, were
acquitted at the end of trial, because it was entrapment. That
is government agents put them up to do something they otherwise
wouldn't have done. They given credit cards with spending
limits of up to $5,000 Encourage them to buy munitions. Notice
Adam Curry: the control room hasn't. They're like they're
like, look this up, look this up. We got it. What is he doing?
It's a curveball. You're not talking about Trump and looking
at that we need something quick
Unknown: plan something they weren't otherwise willing to
plan. So much. So and I want people at home to know this,
especially CNN viewers to know this is that one of the jurors
went to those defendants and apologized afterwards, gave him
a hug. Apologize, seeing what the government had put a poor
guy up to who had to go to some Mexican restaurant across the
street to get hot water. These people were exploited with
credit cards up to $5,000 FBI agents, putting them up to a
kidnapping plot that we were told was true but wasn't
traveling for dancing with the Capitol police people letting
Ramaswamy many of those people look at government put you I did
something and then charge Ramaswamy
Adam Curry: I don't want to. I don't want to have to spank you.
Unknown: I don't want to. I don't want to have to interrupt
you. I really don't. But I don't want you to mislead the audience
here.
They've been misled by mainstream media.
Guys good. Guys. Good.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, we do we start to watch him with this
in mind. I think we'll appreciate him more. Yeah.
Adam Curry: i And it dawned on me too. I'm like, Oh, okay. That
makes that makes sense. That's what he's there for. Totally.
John C Dvorak: Totally. And that's why Trump doesn't go to
the database. Why? What's the point? What's the point?
Adam Curry: And it's, but it's, it's so interesting. From a
media perspective, which is what we do here we deconstruct media,
how the media is, I mean, he doesn't even have Twitter.
Before he would do it on Twitter. And then oh, Trump
tweeted somebody and they talk about him incessantly all day
long and then not and he does want the on Hannity on his home
turf network. They can't ah, and the ol boy is going to be a
dictator over starting on day one they're gonna do like genius
genius move and then he I don't think anybody watches much of
the the evening talk shows. I mean, we know the only talk show
that people watch these days is the one I don't like you like
it, which is God felt.
John C Dvorak: I just, I just don't like me a long time.
Adam Curry: I don't like I don't like Tim. I don't like Brutus.
John C Dvorak: Whatever lame. A big rush. I
Adam Curry: don't know. I don't like it. It's just it watching
John C Dvorak: just for the occasional appearance of Emily
compagno.
Adam Curry: Yes, she's good. They write for her. Yes, we
discussed this. So here's Jimmy Kimmel Live, giving a full
minute and a half to Trump. I mean, how dumb if they're if
they really are operatives, they're doing a bad job. And if
John C Dvorak: I think your podcasting buddy nailed it, yes.
Adam Curry: But this is, I mean, this Trump's writing material
for them, and they like, Oh, this is funny. Let's use this
material. I mean, how can you do you really hate Trump Kimmel?
Seems like you want him to win while Biden
Unknown: and Zelinsky were busy trying to sell Congress on
funding for Ukraine. Our foreign president is looking for some
funding to
Hi everyone. This is your favorite president Donald J.
Trump with some very exciting news. My last two Trump digital
Trading Card Collection sold out in just hours. And now I'm back
with my latest series called the mug shot edition. I wonder where
that keeps the mug shot edition. Brilliant.
Adam Curry: Come on. This is brilliant. He had the stupid
playing cards. Now he's got the mug shot edition. But wait,
there's more
Unknown: seven all new, stunning cards. And here's the best part.
For the first time we're creating a real physical trump
card. Purchase 47 digital cards and we'll mail you a beautiful
trading card. It is an authentic piece of the suit I wore when I
took that now famous mug shot. And it was a great suit, believe
me a really good suit.
Adam Curry: This is genius. They cut up the suit. And he's giving
people pieces of the suit when they buy all 47 I mean, this is
classic direct marketing, classic comedy. And these idiots
are just Paul, let's play this. Let's make fun of him. This is
beautiful. It's all cut out.
Unknown: You're gonna get a peace.
Deal. Wow, that's these cards. So the cards cost $99 each. If
you buy them all 47 of them for the low low price of $4,653 plus
tax you will get a postage stamp sized piece of the suit he wore
on the day he was arrested for the fourth time. And he's
calling it the most historically significant artifact in United
States is today's isn't that said that. There are only 13
original copies of the Constitution. And only who knows
how many fabric swatches from a triple XL fat guy suit.
These cards pop art or modern art. I wish I looked as good as
I do on those cards and I can tell you they give me muscles
where? Believe me I don't have them.
We believe you. What is going on? I mean our former presidents
genius just reinvented Garbage Pail Kids.
So don't miss out go to collect Trump cards.com Go right now and
collect your own exclusive piece of American history and we'll
all have fun together. Have a good life
Adam Curry: I missed him in that regard. I really missed it. Oh
man, that's genius. Stupid morons.
John C Dvorak: It's too crazy to be AI.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, it's not it's it's not AI. It's the real
deal. That's him. That is him. It's so good. Ah, makes
John C Dvorak: view seeing the changes changing the topic. Have
you seen the channel one AI?
Adam Curry: Yeah, I saw like horrible.
John C Dvorak: I didn't think it was horrible at all. I have the
first minute of it. Click here just to play. What's
Adam Curry: it what's an under our channel one? Well, it
doesn't really work. Just audio you have to see the wooden
movements of the news models. Hello.
Unknown: Welcome to channel one. Oh, a new way of consuming
reporting and thinking about the news powered by artificial
intelligence. Today you'll witness AI generated stories and
headlines, captivating visuals and data driven insights. From
global news to finance to entertainment. We'll show you
how technology enables us to bring you a global perspective.
24/7 right from the heart of our AI native newsroom, all
presented by our team of AI generated reporters.
Maybe you hear the words artificial intelligence, and
you're immediately skeptical or concerned about technology gone
crazy. But everything you'll see on Channel One relies on trust.
John C Dvorak: Back it up a little bit and now answer me
this. Why are their phones ringing in the background?
Adam Curry: Well, because AI determined that's what you need
to make it sound authentic. I'm missing that. I'm missing the
teletype
John C Dvorak: yeah teletype would probably be better you
know.
Adam Curry: Hello, welcome to AI news brought to you by no agenda
show this is great boy look at my arms. No not robotic at all.
John C Dvorak: You can you can mark this like that. But in fact
is, is its people should go I just tell it, you can listen to
Adam or you can listen to me. Channel one.ai is the website
and watch this. I don't think it's half bad. I think it's as
good as the actual network news. Then they actually have a sample
news show and in fact on that show, which they has real news
on it even though some of its dated, there's a dated piece of
news which I was even unaware of that you know, when they went to
the asteroid and grabbed some asteroid rocks with that 10 year
mission or however long it took to get there that the thing
never closed the grabber never closed completely and it rocks
are being left all over the space on the way back.
Adam Curry: I am very happy this exists because when you get
tired of me I can continue the show with my AI Dvorak. You
probably could no one will know the difference
John C Dvorak: MQL they'll know the difference because there's
no way that it can be funny. I was just
Adam Curry: you can sit at home and collect checks. What are you
waiting for? Seriously? Comic Strip blogger Can you please
create a JCB AI you know what, let's just start with one show a
week evening and do a whole show you take one show a week off and
then it'd be fine it's gonna be so good because AI is obviously
it's not that
John C Dvorak: bad I'm telling you this Do people don't listen
to him listen to go to channel A or channel one.ai which is the
website and I'm telling you this is as good as CBS or any of
these local news is still got charm noses in sloppier
Adam Curry: no no naked news that still has chocolate
John C Dvorak: you know naked news is probably still is the
best.
Adam Curry: This is pay well cares this worth it. That fine.
Everybody can go listen to me by
John C Dvorak: the way. Channel one could be channel one naked
they could do a naked news with it because they can't seem to
fight they can't do people that don't have a huge kids. So they
DO NAKED news but it'd be giant breasts version. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I'd watch that. Sure. Sure.
John C Dvorak: So I'm talking to JC who's in involved in AI. He
says that. I don't know if I mentioned this on the show
before but because there's so many large breasted women in the
porn field where they're getting a lot of their samples from the
AI guys can't really make women with normal sized breasts. Yet,
Adam Curry: this whole I mean, this is this is the business
model of AI. This is it. Congratulations. We've got big
boobs, newsreaders, Herky jerky, non throwing, not funny.
John C Dvorak: It's not Herky jerky. I think you're wrong.
Adam Curry: I just watched it. I watched the whole like, was it
11 minutes is boring, is boring. The guy who comes in second is
he keeps doing the same hand gestures, or
John C Dvorak: the hand gestures. I'm not gonna argue
the hand gestures. It's bad, because the guy's doing
meaningless hand gestures that don't make any sense at all. But
this is just the beginning. It's fine tuning this thing will
result in people that are terrific looking and better than
the real deal. Hey, I agree AI is great. It's good to rock
everybody.
Adam Curry: I need to mocking mocking it. I'm mocking it. I am
mocking it. Because you're because there will be a a
section of the public. That is all in on this. And it won't be
any cheaper. It won't be any cheaper for news organizations
to they've already.
John C Dvorak: Norris 12 to $14 million a year. Then
Adam Curry: I will start my own news channel and I'll hire Nora,
then it'll be better people want human beings. That's just the
fact except for the NPCs I mean, there's a sec but those people
are not worth anything. The people who are enamored by this
type of entertainment are not worth anything to advertisers.
They're just worthless people.
John C Dvorak: You're harsh I'm because you you I earlier in the
show. I said you were a hater.
Adam Curry: I'm an AI hater. Yes, because I think this is
bullcrap. I think it's there's no business model. There. This
is little sparkly bits that dangling in front of us. Where's
the channel? All right. Where's the channel? There's no actual
channel one that is going to do this. Where is it that where is
it going? Okay, it's not admitted.
John C Dvorak: Now already have the cast and crew
Adam Curry: VEC will be in London or Paris before we before
we have a full new channel of AI news models that people actually
what they can eat
John C Dvorak: I'm not saying that's not a pod that's only six
months or a year away. God it may take a couple of years Oh
God, people just go you go yourself and make your own
determination channel one.ai and check it out all right,
Adam Curry: well the minute that launches on AI in you and then
that's it and then you can take off I doubt that won't be
working with you will be working with your AI agent. Okay.
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna make sure that I don't make you have
to be nice. I'll
Adam Curry: send you checks. No problem. No. Going like, Man,
I'd be funnier than that stupid computer. Man, he missed a great
opportunity.
John C Dvorak: Just soft balling, just willing to miss
that. Speaking
Unknown: of AI, the European Union passed the most
comprehensive and they listen
Adam Curry: to this guy. No, no programmer would ever make this
guy in AI because they make him to professional. I want to hear
like a wispy, lispy quasi gay guy from time to time, because
it makes me happy to listen to a human who is different.
Unknown: The European Union passed the most comprehensive
and ambitious regulations on artificial intelligence. They
are the first major government to ever pass set legislations
and the different ways they're looking at how to monitor
artificial intelligence all the way from hiring practices, from
the court system to self driving autonomous cars. There's so much
things that comprehensive and what's interesting about that is
that they're so far ahead of the United States government.
Adam Curry: This is by the way is Good Morning America.
Unknown: You think about the dangers but let's talk about the
good things when it comes to AI.
Yeah, people look at AI for so many different reasons. Either
glass is half full, the glass is half empty. There's no glass,
the glass is half full. I don't even we love football as well to
as DeMarco but even look at this weekend's of our football and
weigh the article intelligence being used is called NFL next
gen stats and it's powered by neither of us was the Amazon
Web. Pressure probability, what does that even mean? That
basically means now coaches and general managers, they can
assess how quickly a quarterback may be sacked based upon the
data on the defensive lineman, but they can also to assess
based on the offensive lineman, how well do they do in
protecting the quarterback over historical period of data that
is presented. So even the things that we love Eva and DeMarco,
when it comes to football, artists intelligence is helping
us call the game play by play is make it more interactive, but
also to even has to be critiqued right, and we have to make sure
guardrails are in place. But we have the power as Americans get
into the driver's seat God challenging our elected
officials to look at the holistic point of view,
artificial intelligence. And I think that is
one thing that's good. And
Adam Curry: my, you know, my algorithms could replace this
guy's intelligence, but yeah, perfect. So okay, that's
algorithm. Everything is AI these days, everything we got an
email from, I'm not going to read it. But we got an email
from a guy who works at a big trading firm. He says, Hey, man,
you said there's no business model. We got a business model
and we have a hub pay $150,000 a year for AI in our company. I'm
like, Oh, this is interesting. So are you making $150 billion a
year with your AI trading? Well, no, we have an HR database.
Because you can look up HR stuff we filled it all up and we can
query the database so the AI give those answers where the
chat bot Polly's AI winter coming, AI winter coming. Peak
AI now AI peak AI to AI winter that you know what it's going to
be? They're going to pivot to coin a phrase they're going to
pivot to quantum computing. No, they're not Yeah, they are they
new work. They need a new thing that sucks up cycles, so Nvidia
can be even more powerful. This the only thing that's changed
from the from the late 80s is more faster computers. It's the
same dumb stuff. Symbols tokens. It's all the same stuff as lisp.
I'd really like
John C Dvorak: to get dead gag in there. Nobody gets it. By the
way. A
Adam Curry: lot of Emacs guys are going Yeah. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Both of them that listen to the show. Yeah,
Adam Curry: man. Yeah, Emacs, Emacs. Man. Screw VI. Emacs, you
can do Lisp programming. Alright, let's switch to some
more mainstream nonsense. We are desperately trying. We are using
everything we can. We're using every single advertising and
native ad dollar we have. We need to make sure that we get
GLP one drugs into Medicare. I don't care how we do it. We've
got to get added in there, Oprah came out. And you know, Oprah is
co owner now of WW, which is the new name for Weight Watchers.
And we had the CEO of weightwatchers. On the last show
of the show before that, saying, We're sorry, we were wrong. Oh,
no, it's not about food is not about portion control. You have
a disease. You have a sickness, how now but you still need to
use us because we bought a company that will telemedicine
subscribe you all of these wonderful drugs, and we'll help
you manage it. We'll help you manage it. So the end of them so
Oprah did a big a big article, big interview exclusive.
John C Dvorak: Have you seen a lie? Have you she needs more
money?
Adam Curry: Have you seen her? I mean, she looks phenomenal.
Oprah defends her use of weight loss medication. Obesity is a
disease because she's a doctor. And this all the doctors are in
on this. I don't really know one that has said it outright like
that. But they're a little too. Chicken, I think to say it. But
Oprah says Obesity is a disease. It's not about willpower. It's
about the brain. Yes, yes. And now we've got to get it into
kids. And we need it on Medicare. Let's go to America's
most trusted doctor.
Unknown: That was America's favorite doctor. And there's a
new study out here that suggested popular weight loss
drugs may be safe during pregnancy. But for now, a
warning labels caution against the use during pregnancy and
consumption. So what so Another
week, another day another headline with these GLP one
agonists like we go V ozempic Manjaro. This latest study
published in JAMA Internal Medicine, really looking
retrospectively at pregnant women who were on diabetes
medication and how their pregnancies when whether there
were any risks to the fetus and the offspring. We're still in
the infancy pardon the pun in terms of this, because right
now, these drugs like ozempic are not recommended for women to
take during pregnancy. But we always have to err on the side
of caution when you're talking about what can and can not be
taken during pregnancy. But big picture here, we know that
hyperglycemia, which is elevated blood glucose levels during
pregnancy, really not good for the fetus. In addition to the
pregnant woman, we know that certain medications given to
people with
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, Dr. Jen is pregnant people eat us,
Unknown: in addition to the pregnant woman, we know that
certain medications given to people with diabetes are okay
during pregnancy, insulin, the sulfonylureas. We have good data
and track record on that. But again, when you talk about risk
benefit, which you guys have heard, many, many times, we know
that there are real risks to a woman who's overweight or obese,
diabetic during pregnancy, to her risk to the fetus. So I
think we're gonna see a lot more research with this class of
medication that's just stimulated and triggered by the
popularity and use of them. So this data that you're looking at
now, this is just because people were taking it and then they
discovered the good side. I'm just so fascinated by it. People
are using it. That's actually how we back into a lot of data
when people are on the medication. And then you know,
we follow them for another reason. Really interesting. Very
Adam Curry: interesting. Okay. But you know, we really need to
get it into the children. I mean, we're trying to get into
the fetus. It was so successful with COVID. The COVID vaccines
were great for feet. Hi, let's go to Dr. Celine
Unknown: doctors and parents to in the US are now being urged to
take an aggressive new approach against childhood obesity. It's
a problem that affects nearly one in five children and teens
in this country. And the US Preventive Task Force clash is
now saying that doctors need to intervene, starting with kids as
young as the age of six. Dr. Celine gounder, is here to tell
us what parents need to know. Dr. gounder. Thank you very much
for being here. I understand intensive counseling is the idea
here. What is it? How soon should it start?
Adam Curry: Now this is weird, because they start with this
whole counseling counts. I was trying to figure this out. But
what are you talking about? It's a disease. Oprah said so what
know what, what is this counseling bit about?
Unknown: So we're talking about a minimum of 26 hours per year.
So if you break that down, that comes down to say half an hour
per week or an hour per week of meeting with specialists on a
consistent basis. So that could be everyone from a dietician to
a physical therapist or trainer to a mental health specialists
to really address what are the issues that are driving the
obesity?
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, obesity is an illness I do not
understand. And it started to dawn as this went a little
further as they brought out the racial profiling.
Unknown: I don't want to be negative. I'm sure any number of
hours would help. But if you're living all of your hours in a
world where you became obese, what are 26 hours going to do to
change the equation?
Well, this is a really important point because a lot of what is
driving this is one the culture of the community, the culture of
the family, how they Eat. So it's not just about addressing
Adam Curry: when they say culture, that's code for black
the child,
Unknown: you also need to have an environment where you have
access to healthy food and many communities that might come to
the store where they have to shop, particularly in parts of
the South. And then are there safe places where kids can
actually play an exercise in many communities that may not be
the case, communities
Adam Curry: culture, they're going after poor people, and
particularly poor black people, because they want it on Medicare
Unknown: together. The American Academy of Pediatrics also
released guidelines saying that 12 years old or older as a
suggested age, for weight loss, drugs and even surgery. I mean,
on the surface, that sounds kind of shocking, but But what is the
rationale is it because of the long term health effects that,
you know, curbing obesity could create? Well, this is an
important
important point, the US Preventive Services Task Force,
they are not recommending surgery and weight loss
medications, they're just recommended that recommending
the behavioral interventions. And I think the discrepancy in
some of the debate in the medical community is that we are
seeing people getting more and more obese adults and children,
we're seeing obesity start at a younger and younger age, and
there's this desperation to do something. Now whether it can
help and giving weight loss drugs to kids, you know, that
really remains to be seen. And they're only approved for people
12 And up right now. Oh,
Adam Curry: because Oh, drove it up.
Unknown: This is a good start, if people are curious about that
is insurance covering weight loss drugs for children
start covering starting at the age of 12. But many of the
private insurance companies are being very restrictive about
coverage. So it's not enough to be obese very often to get
expensive, right? They're very expensive drugs. And then if
you're on Medicaid, and most people don't realize this, the
majority of kids in this country are on Medicaid, nevermind
lawyer communities and state Medicaid programs really cannot
afford to be covering these for all kids.
Adam Curry: I can almost read the material she was given. It
was just like the movies. Were here comes the representative.
Okay, you know, but we're really this is very important because
you know, kids need access to this. Do you know how many
children most children in America on Medicaid because
they're poor? They're poor? And you know, black kids they know
they have they're more prone to diabetes, because you know, they
live in the only God is Dollar General now down at McDonald's,
I mean, come on
Unknown: low income families and communities are hardest hit by
this obesity epidemic. How do these interventions work in
those words? Well,
it's really hard you can say to somebody portion control, and
here's how to read food labels. And this is what you should
stick to fresh foods, not packaged foods. But if you can't
even buy that, or if it's not affordable access to time,
right? You don't. These are not realistic education.
Because all of these habits are passed down generational
generational
Adam Curry: culture,
Unknown: the family and culture community and that's hard to
change. Dr. Brower, thank
you so much. It's really fascinating. You
Adam Curry: can fasten that you can just wait for it that's
coming is coming is coming. This is the entire push. By the way.
You guys are on DH and plug you were talking about the new
McDonald's concept. MC cosmic I think is what it's called. I
think that MC cosmic is genius. I think they've launched it at
exactly the right time. Because it is like a crack house for
crack addicts and as drive thru, because you it's It's Sugar
Bombs, it's got. It's got colors, it's got crazy names.
It's highly TIG talkable. And we don't have to worry about it
because just go get a shot. He just go get a shot. Just go get
a shot. Now. I think
John C Dvorak: we indicated this to our Well, I don't think we
really thought it was genius by any means. But
Adam Curry: I think McDonald's for the win. If I was an
investing man, I'd invest in McDonald's, not advice. Now we
do have a little problem. We have a little bit of a problem
because this is just GLP one stuff. As you know, this is a
generic PE you don't necessarily need the ozempic will go P
brands. You can get it at your pharmacy you can have a compound
and this is this is a problem. So Sanjay Sanjay Yeah, we want
you to do a report. We're gonna have it we're gonna give you the
exclusive. But we're gonna have we're gonna Dr. Jen's gonna roll
it out too. So you might as well roll it out
Unknown: first. Sanjay was in control centers across the
country, so they're seeing a 15 100% increase in people
accidentally overdosing uninjected Weight Loss drugs.
15 100% CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT Dr. Sanjay
Gupta joins us wait wait, are there
John C Dvorak: real numbers here because 15 100% means you can go
from one to two is like 1,000% or 100%. Well, we went I went to
15 I mean, you know it's never been reported before that just a
percentage numbers useless. We need numbers do they get they
give them nevermind. I'm sure they give them yes,
Adam Curry: they do. Actually 2% of the American public is taking
these drugs 2% of them American public is taking these drugs,
people and they're laid off injecting. Listen to the report.
Sanjay is rolling it out. He's got the exclusive poisoned
people
Unknown: accidentally overdosing on injected weight loss drugs.
15 100%. CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT Dr. Sanjay Gupta
joins us now, Sanjay, are these all connected? Why is this
happening with this, this is kind of amazing. If you look at
just the number of prescriptions that have gone out there, it's
skyrocketed. Most of these drugs have only been around a few
years now. But just take a look at sort of what's happened over
the past few years, close to 2% of the population of this
country has been prescribed this medication at some point. That's
that's, that's shocking. I mean, these are huge. And obviously,
even around the world, this is prescribed a lot. As you
prescribe more and more, you're not surprised to get more and
more sort of accidental poisonings, overdoses, things
like that. But I want to show you something else that I think
is important here, you started to see the numbers go up in
March of 2022. All the shortages started happening. And what
happened as a result, pharmacies came in and they started making
their own, they started making their own compounded sort of
versions of this that were not tested for safety and efficacy.
And you started to see the poisoning rates go up at that
point as well. So that may be part of this.
Adam Curry: Don't take that stuff. You might die. Don't take
the stuff from your pharmacy is poison. It's unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: Well, there's been a war against compounding
pharmacies for as long as we've been doing the show. Yes. But
Adam Curry: this is clearly and squarely targeting, you know,
any alternative to
John C Dvorak: $1,000 Compared to 20? Yes.
Adam Curry: Something like that. Yeah. People turn off what
John C Dvorak: is by the way, do they describe in his crappy
report, the symptoms of overdosing on these things? Yes.
Adam Curry: I didn't. I didn't cut that. But yeah,
John C Dvorak: I would just say what it was, oh,
Adam Curry: literally puking diarrhea, painting your gut
this. To me, that's all the features of this stuff. Is the
poisoning is the same as the actual results of taking it. In
general. Yeah, it was it was stupid. And then it's like,
well, you know, the half life of this stuff is two weeks. So you
know, if you if you OD on it, you can't just stop not like
getting your stop up. Be cute. Puking for weeks. Yeah, yeah.
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna change topics.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's good.
John C Dvorak: Let's start there. So I'm watching the
interview with the industry. This is one of those like mini
deconstructions with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.
Adam Curry: Oh, I actually texted with him about this. So
John C Dvorak: you texted who? Alex? What did he say?
Adam Curry: No, I texted him. I said, he does a great job on
Tucker. And he said, I can tell you what he said. He said, What
is it? He said something like I can I just got to look at my
text. Alex. Yes, here it is. He said, The tide is turning across
the spectrum.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's interesting. So it did get him
back on Twitter. I'm pretty sure that triggered it because he
made a big fuss about that. But I just caught a couple of things
that I thought were interesting. And the first one is in clip one
is very short. And I want to ask, I'll ask you about it
because I was confused by it. Here we go.
Unknown: When you got D platformed. it to this day, no
one has ever been more aggressively censored. I don't
think then you have I have apologized in person before I
was in Labrador on a fishing trip and missed the entire thing
was literally out of cell range. Yes.
John C Dvorak: He says I apologize to you. Yeah. What it
Why is he apologizing? Did he do it? I mean, I can say I was I
had condolences. Maybe or I felt bad about it, because this
happened could have been anybody. But why is he
apologizing specifically?
Adam Curry: I believe having seen this interview, which I
have heard a lot of people say wow, you know, I he was a lot
more sane than I expected him. Oh, he's
John C Dvorak: always good. Jones has always been good on
these interviews.
Adam Curry: I think it's because Tucker says somewhere in this
like no one came to your defense. No, that's
John C Dvorak: the next clip. I've
Adam Curry: got that too. That comes right after it. Well, that
doesn't. That's what it was about that. He apologize not
that he was going to do it per se but he he felt like it. He
was out of the loop. He was literally Out of cell range in
Labrador fishing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, but but at that point he needed to what's
the apology for? I don't know coming to your defense is one
thing hide by you know what are you apologizing for not coming
to your defense he would have said hold
Adam Curry: on let me text Tucker the hell you text hugger.
John C Dvorak: Okay, here we go with the second part is got
another little ditty in here, which is at the very end, which
is like I didn't know this was going on. I
Unknown: didn't know what happened. But I got back and I
was and I read about it. I felt like it was a major moment in
the history of American media. I don't think anybody defended
you. When that happened. Anybody with any kind of audience
for me when Tim Cook admitted that he met on the weekend in
August 2017, with the other big tech heads, and they made the
decision to curate like, it's a museum and take me off. It was
hundreds of platforms. I mean, it wasn't just all the big ones
that was everything from LinkedIn, to our bank accounts
being taken away to everything and suing that week and over the
next month. And I knew that I was a test case and I wasn't
taken off those platforms for any demonstrable reason. It was
the questioning the school shooting thing that came later,
they went and kind of dredge that up from my past just
questioning and a few times, blew that up after I've been D
platformed. And said I was the platform for that. But we
checked the record. I wasn't. And so once they D platforming
it made the show in ways only get bigger, but people actually
going to infowars.com and find me on local radio stations and
things. So then they panic and said, Okay, let's look at his
record and create more of a reason. These big taken off. So
they took things out of context from five, six years before blew
them up as a current thing out of context. And deceptively
reported on what I've said, to create a straw man argument to
them facilitate the reason
what's so crazy is if you asked just a cross section of
Americans, who's responsible for the Sandy Hook massacre of kids
at the school, no one remembers the name of the murderer, Adam
Lanza. Okay, thank you. I didn't remember Alex Jones, you they
effectively blamed you for a school shooting that you were
not President, I have people
coming up to me in the parking lot. You can ask my security
guy. He's been there when people walk up and get Waje kill those
kids. And you know, I didn't kill those kids. And they go,
Yeah, you did. And so that is what this has turned into. Okay.
John C Dvorak: I find it very peculiar that the public at
large. Is that dumb to think that Alex Jones killed the kids
at Sandy Hook? And I believe he's probably telling the truth.
Security Guard is in the studio. True
Adam Curry: as well. I think it's true as well. Yes, people
are very, you know, remember, just like Vivec they're sitting
at home reading People Magazine reading Oprah. Now Oprah is on
this on this shot. I should get on it with my fat ass. This is
good. The Alex Jones? Well, I'll give you an example of why
people believe this kind of why, why they believe that stuff. And
I have some some thoughts about all this. This is Piers Morgan
on the Alex Jones being back on x. Oh,
Unknown: passionate defender of free speech. There's a massive
clue in the name of the show uncensored, and I believe in it.
I believe that all honestly held opinions. However offensive they
are belong in the open, where they can be challenged, debated
and exposed. But there are limits on free speech. There are
laws and there is a line.
Adam Curry: I love that. I believe in free speech. But
there's a line.
Unknown: I've always said that Alex Jones is a perfect example
of where that line got crossed. He's a conspiracy theorist and
shock jock in America made hundreds of millions of dollars
by peddling outrageous lies at the Sandy Hook School massacre
shooting was a hoax. For the uninitiated. This is him
shouting at me. A week after that massacre on CNN.
The tyrants did it. Hitler took the guns. Stalin took the guns
mounted the guns. Fidel Castro took the guns, though. Chavez
took the guns, and I'm here to tell you 1776. Again, if you try
to take our firearms doesn't matter how many lemmings you get
out there on the street begging for him to have their guns
taken? We will not relinquish them. Do you understand?
He kind of won that debate, actually, because the only
response in America to the Sandy Hook massacre was to do nothing.
In fact, they continue to sell a lot more guns. A million new
guns get sold in America every month. And they're already over
400 million in circulation. So if you're wondering if you're
curious why there are so many more mass shootings in America
than they used to be. That's why and if you're wondering what's
going to happen in the next few years as a million new guns into
circulation, and nothing gets done to stop mass shootings. My
guess is there'll be a lot more mass shootings.
Adam Curry: So there you go. So Piers Morgan makes it about Alex
Jones equals mass shootings in America. This is because of this
by the way, Peter Here's Morgan I believe the guy who was
partially if not fully responsible for spying on dead
people's phones and getting their voicemails and publishing
them. Today a horrible man. But there's something else going on
here. And you know, I don't like Elon Musk. I don't trust him. I
think he's full of crap. He's not an inventor. He's a
marketing guy, a very good one. He's part of a cabal with Roelof
Botha, who is now the CEO of Sequoia Capital. I've seen these
guys in action. I was at the launch of the very first Tesla
Roadster when he bought it. I went there with Ray lane. The
whole thing is creepy AF. And he now he single handedly launched
the bull crap, electrified revolution. And I don't care how
cool the cybertruck is engineered this not a good thing
for the world. He has effectively Skynet. Now we all
joke about oh, Skynet. He has Skynet. He has a company that
will bore tunnels for the elites to escape through. He has the
next generation of jacking into your brain with neural net none
of that in any other world where he was free speech. This guy
would be no good. But we're all enamored with him Tony Stark,
the whole thing. It's beautiful marketing is perfect. So then he
does this thing. It's set up by of all people. Laura Loomer
actually was a part of this. They set up the spaces. And
that's where Alex Jones was reintroduced to x and Elon Musk
that I don't include any of this, believe me, he comes out
with this whole thing. Well, I went back into Twitter records.
And the reason you were banned was not for anything you said
about Sandy Hook. The reason you were banned is because you
assaulted Oliver Darcy, you assaulted a journalist and
that's why you were banned. And then he goes into this whole
thing at Musk is I mean, the whole thing is full of crap. And
all these people start to jump in on what I call the info
Mavericks. Or maybe we should call them the truth warriors.
Laura Loomer upfront who kept trying to jump in. Yeah, Alex,
when you and I were there, we said we got right and Jack
Dorsey's face. And so they start cutting Laura Loomer off because
she's annoying. Laura Loomer is annoying. And she just keeps
jumping in and they were cutting her off and then she's all
leaves in a huff. And they bring in all these other people but
there's, there's the there's the guy who was in hungry, whatever,
wherever you live, what's his name Tate that he comes in, and
then Vivec jumps in, and all these people are all jumping in.
This is the new mainstream media and Elon Musk is in charge of
this. He is the hero beware of false idols. Beware of false
idols. Here's a Jake Tapper on the on what happened here? Let
me see. Do I want this one? No, I don't want that long. I get
this one
Unknown: says Alex Jones account has been restored. Now it's not
just up there. It's actively being promoted across the
platform.
That's right, Jake. Yeah, I'm Alex Jones. It looks like he's
he's actually grown his audience by about 100,000 followers just
being since put back on the platform, our colleague Claire
Duffy, reporting that people have opened up x the Twitter app
today. Even if they haven't followed Jones, a lot of people
have been saying that in the algorithmic feed that promotes
accounts suggesting to people that they should follow Jones's
account. That is, of course, five years after he was
initially kicked off the platform. And really, you know,
I think this is just so illustrative of what we're
seeing happen with x, but also with Elon Musk, because he kind
of journeys very publicly down this rabbit hole of conspiracy
theories, Jake. So
Adam Curry: this is a launch by Elon Musk. It's a launch and
He's launching something really big. And I think we have to be
very careful. I mean, Alex is Alex and he's a sweetheart. He
was dropped on his head, his baby, that's actually true. So
he does have some brain day he'd be the first to tell you that.
But he's basically a sweetheart and he's more right than he's
wrong. In many things. I don't think he's part of any
gatekeeping community but Elon Musk is and he's building up a
whole bunch of people around him and they're willing participants
they're all I mean, it's Megyn Kelly it's bond Gino, it's all
these people and they're distracting everybody into this
audio visual Twitter world of like Tim Poole stuff it's it's
creepy
Unknown: Yeah, he's he's not even just bring this the account
back. He's playing a role in elevating Alex Jones account
last night he hosted this x live stream interview with with him
and a whole bunch of other questionable folks were were
joining him Andrew Tate, this misogynistic internet
personality who was indicted on human trafficking and rape
charges in remote Romania earlier this year. And to be
completely frank Dhoni, Tate wasn't even the worst dude in
that conversation. What? Why is Musk even engaging with these
people? Yeah. And
look, I mean, I think you showed there that tweet, as you pointed
out, very human tweet from Musk last year, where he said, Look,
what, what Alex Jones said, there was so false and
disgusting about Sandy Hook, that he would never get back on
the platform. Because of that. You've now seen that over the
past year, Musk, you know, kind of going further and further and
further to the fringe even up to a few weeks ago, agreeing with a
anti semitic posts, which he later tried to clarify and did a
trip to Israel and things like that. But you know, I've spent a
lot of the past few years speaking to people who have gone
down rabbit holes of radicalization theories and
speak to families of Oh, who have loved ones. And it is quite
reminiscent of that when you see that, of course, but in this
case, it is one of the most powerful and one of the
wealthiest men in the world. And he's promoting these people. And
I will just say that that audio stream you mentioned, on last
check, it had 11 million people 11 million listeners. Now, of
course, numbers online can be a little deceiving, but needless
to say, millions of people now have access to this junk.
Adam Curry: Yes, people love the junk. Go I have a very bad
feeling about this. I really do. This is this is this is a
distraction is being set up. It's like follow the plan, trust
the plan. Now a storm is coming, which is what the Bolsheviks
said all the time.
John C Dvorak: It was what was that message? Jones said back to
you again.
Adam Curry: He said I want to get it verbatim. He said the tie
again here is he said The tide is turning across the spectrum.
And now there is a tide is turning because things are
starting to eat themselves the wokeness in companies I mean
stuff is coming out things are definitely changing. But I don't
trust this group. I just I and musk at the helm. And then like
and he's like, Oh, I shall I shall reinstate you ping. I will
wave my made magic fairy wand and you're back and good to go.
I don't and I'll and Tucker is also probably a part of this.
And it's not like a secret society. But you know, what is
Tucker doing? He's back with that. Whistleblower on the UFOs.
Oh, boy. Yeah, I'm very good. He went on redacted which please
don't send me clips from redacted. I'm not interested in
redacted. And Tucker did an interview on redacted because we
know Clayton and Natalie Morris. I personally Yeah, personally,
I'm not impressed. What are they doing in Portugal? Roche.
They're pro television people. You train Natalie. So yeah,
they're pros. And I don't know about that guy do I do. But
Tucker goes on there. And it's like, let me tell you the thing
I'm most worried about is UFO. So it's really you know, the
government's holding stuff back and dude, no, no. So I I'm this
is this is a weird
John C Dvorak: issue too.
Adam Curry: Yes. What's your issue? What's your issue?
John C Dvorak: I think Tucker's, you know, well, we always have
to remember anyone who says they wanted to be a spy for the CIA
probably is one. It's like a friend of mine, Gina Smith, who
has been on television she has been around. She told me about
the whole thing where the CIA approached her while she was in
college because she was in journalism. And she did laid out
the whole thing about can you work for us? You don't really
you're not really working for us but we'll send you a check every
so often we're going to have to call you because sometimes we
need to make some this was recently Yeah, we have to get a
certain kind of a message out we needed to be consolidated it
really they really said
Adam Curry: it like that. Pretty much Wow.
John C Dvorak: And she wasn't going to be working for the
agency but she was going to be in touch.
Adam Curry: How come I don't get that call? If I never got the
call. I got family in the CIA and I didn't get that call.
John C Dvorak: But you yourself said that they don't
Adam Curry: you know, what is it? They didn't they never liked
the drugs. I think it was the day don't like
John C Dvorak: drugs and like draws like a key thing in your
day when drinkers, they like drinkers. drinkers is good.
Yeah. So she went on and on about this and and I always
thought, Okay, I'll remember that. And I was there. Of
course, I don't know what the criteria is. There's probably
one specific. And I think talker is one of these guys. And I
think the other one wants to be in the CIA or wanted to be made
a big fuss about it is Kara Swisher Kara. And there's
others. There's a bunch of them. It's usually the funny thing
about this is always on the wiki page, which is to Me a tell
that's designed for people in the know to spot and say, oh,
okay, that's, we know which side you're on. Yeah, I think it's
put there on purpose.
Adam Curry: You know, we may not we may get things wrong a lot.
We may be full of crap. But I think we're more trustworthy
than what's going on here. This is not good. This is not what
Elon is doing. At the idolatry that is taking place around
everything he does. And Eli's neck deep and government
contract. That's all that he doesn't. And why so Okay, so Ha,
boy, we'll we'll make your cars look bad for a moment here.
Yeah, you know, we'll, we'll we'll make a dei problem out of
out of your hiring practices at SpaceX, but not a single
contract is cancelled. In fact, he's, he he's only sold more
Starlink. To military. And he doesn't really cop to it either.
That's why he was in in Israel. He was selling Starlink.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's why he was there was doing it wasn't
an Apollo no sales sales
Adam Curry: call. It was a sales call. So then when you know,
when you get this question here, last clip?
Unknown: Yeah, it's we should also know, Jones offenses are
there more than just the Sandy Hook campaign, which was vile
enough in and of itself. But, you know, he had a lot of files
that the insurrection on January 6, who are charged with serious
crimes, and one wonders, is Elon Musk trying to chase normal
people off x, is he trying to chase advertisers away even more
than he already has?
I mean, I think the conventional wisdom here would say, you know,
this is going to push advertisers away, it certainly
is going to be very interesting what major brands, like
including the NFL are going to do as this platform continues to
seemingly descend. But let's not forget, there is a lot of money
in bullshit as well, right? I mean, we saw this through the
Jones trial, how he made a lot of money. And if you really tap
into this world, along with Tucker Carlson and General
Michael Flynn and others, people who who are taking kind of park
now in this new X community, that can potentially be quite
lucrative, and potentially, that's the direction Musk wants
to go a lot
of money and a lot of votes, a
Adam Curry: lot of votes. Hey, okay.
John C Dvorak: A lot of vote. Yep. Oh, by the way, code word,
left wing code, word assignment. A certain side of things is
vile. Oh, is
Adam Curry: that a code word? Vile?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I've noticed that for it. Because I
told people that and they use it all the time. They file vile
about me. Thank you. It's like a secret handshake,
Adam Curry: where you say via what you guys said bullshit on
the air that's new that used to be like that. I used to be a no,
no. See, I had one other thing that I was meaning to play from.
Oh, yes. So anyway, it stinks. The whole thing stinks. I'm sure
that you know, the the whole idea is get as many people on X
believing and all in all Elans get Flynn was also on that call.
I mean, I hate to say it, but my neighbor, you know, she's
another one of them. I'm just like, you know, let's all go
crazy about this one particular thing, this one particular
topic. Let's all focus on that today. That's we're supposed to
be looking at it meanwhile, who is your neighbor, Laura Logan.
And meanwhile, Pfizer just gets thrown into the NDA and we're
all talking about Obama being racist. Do you see you see the
pattern? That's that's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing like everyone
talks about Obama's a racist, but meanwhile, it's like oh,
China, China, Korea, Iran, Iran, Iran Hall got back home and you
Oh, space. Oh, space. We need more money for space for
defense. And then oh, by the way, no one's talking about the
FISA being extended. Renewed right there in the bill, except
for Matt gates on C span.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and everyone thinks he's nuts. Yeah,
he's a child molester.
Adam Curry: That's and who's out there calling him a horrible
person. Laura Loomer. She's on Twitter going mad gay. It's it's
common. Yeah, we're gonna you're gonna learn about him. She's
this what she's doing all day long and she's she's kind of
like the ugly step step sister of this of this group, like, Oh,
I'm gonna let her in, because she has Alex's number, but she's
annoying. cut her off. cut her off. Cut all of them off.
John C Dvorak: Okay, all right. Hey, H topics again.
Adam Curry: Yep. Do you want to hear the OP want to hear the OP,
John C Dvorak: there's an OP,
Adam Curry: there's an OP, the OP is moving to Harvard. If
Unknown: you're a Swifty, you'll probably like this course. If
you're a fan of Taylor Swift and literature, you'll probably love
it. You can learn a lot from Taylor Swift and earn credits
for it this spring at Harvard. It's a literature
John C Dvorak: course. And it has a lot of songs and
songwriting.
Unknown: The course is the brainchild of Harvard English
professor Stephanie Byrd. It's called Taylor Swift in her world
and will focus on the songwriters, lyrics and creative
composition and how they're connected to other page based
poets and authors,
John C Dvorak: you know, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, who wrote some of their poems in the Lake
District, which Taylor has visited and has song about the
class
Unknown: is also a chance to study how swift employs video,
her social media and stage presence and even couture as
vehicles for her art. News of the course is already blowing up
social media, an estimated 300 students have already enrolled,
I think
it's really important to include music or culture into normal
pedagogies to get students engaged.
Adam Curry: I think it would be really cool and to connect like
different subjects to her music at the end of the day, I
Unknown: mean, there's a reason people want to have a course on
it. So after discussion,
John C Dvorak: I love that I'm able to do this in a way that
both gives people the chance to study and write about things
they already love. All right, and not
Adam Curry: just flip at Harvard, John at Harvard.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's where it belongs. Wow. Actually,
you're better songs which are few and far between. She didn't
even write but okay. I have a while fraud story from NTD. That
is worth playing. Okay, let's
Adam Curry: do it. A new poll
Unknown: shows one in five male and voters committed some kind
of election fraud in 2020. Former President Trump is now
commenting suggesting this backs up his years old claim of
widespread fraud and today's area and past our spoke with the
pollster. A
new Heartland Rasmussen poll found that 21% of male in voters
admitted to filling out a ballot for somebody else in the 2020
presidential election. 10% of all respondents said they know
somebody who admitted to casting a mail in ballot fraudulently,
and 8% of likely voters said they've been offered the pay or
something else for voting. Now almost half of all 2020 votes
were cast by mail the most ever in US history. Consider
how close the 2020 election was.
This is extremely troubling. Jim Lakely
is the vice president of the Heartland Institute, which
conducted the poll. He said they expected that maybe 5% of Malin
voters would admit to some kind of voter fraud, and that they
were shocked when they saw the number was over 20% Former
President Trump took to social media commenting on the poll,
writing this is the biggest story of the year, and
Republicans must do something about it. Now lately told me
that some states did actually have reasonable safety measures
in place when it comes to mail in voting, but that those were
abandoned during the COVID pandemic. He also says that
people are now being discouraged from talking about potential
voter fraud in the 2020 election, but that Americans,
including Democrats have routinely questioned the
election results in the past, for example, when George Bush
won against John Kerry, or Trump's 2016 win,
yet suddenly in 2020, when everybody can see with their own
eyes, that our election system has been thrown into complete
chaos. That is the only election in which it is not proper to
question whether the regional results are legitimate. There
was no suppressing of those sorts of ideas and thoughts for
every other presidential election
since the year 2000.
Adam Curry: Yeah, isn't it interesting that all we can talk
about is Alex Jones back on x.
John C Dvorak: When Nobody's talking about this story? No, of
Adam Curry: course not. That's no, that's my point. Where's
Megyn? Kelly on the story? Where's Tucker on this story?
Where are these people on the story? No.
John C Dvorak: Where do I get it from?
Unknown: In TNT if
John C Dvorak: nobody listens to them?
Adam Curry: Indeed, yes.
John C Dvorak: I just found this to be like a wow story. And it
was like what this is the most impressed story, because it does
bring into question. I mean, this whole mail in balloting, we
know and has been reports has been studies and Advancers I
think goes way back into the 70s that it was always considered a
very bad idea because it was so easily corruptible. Here. They
come up with some some survey shows it was corrupted. Nobody
wants to hear about it. Well forget it. And Trump, by the
way, saying, Oh, the Republicans should do something about it is
a real laugh for
Adam Curry: him. But no, but the point is, both Republicans and
Democrats employ these tactics. They both they both they have to
this is going this coming election is going to be who's
going to cheat the best. It's obvious. That's why there's
there's no torque wash. We've been doing this in Florida for a
long time. We don't want anyone to learn how we do it. Like
John C Dvorak: California is worse than Florida. There's no
question in my mind about that.
Adam Curry: By the way, this, this product is special
prosecutor Jack Smith. Who's the guy who's going after Trump?
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Adam Curry: it'd be his love looking gun. Yeah. Well, his
background is starting to come up a little bit. And the
allegation is that while he was at the International Criminal
Court, he was part of like big campaigns with 10s if not
hundreds of millions of euros slash dollars. With bribery
money, Hey, you want me to not prosecute, prosecute you better?
You better send me $10 million in Bitcoin. I love the Bitcoin
part. There's a whistleblower John Moynihan. He filed a
complaint with the Department of Justice inspector general's
office on November 28, alleging Jack Smith, special prosecutor
pursuing Donald Trump was engaged in extortion. That's the
word extortion scheme while he was working at the International
Court of Justice
John C Dvorak: was another story I haven't seen on CBS. That's a
good story. I'd like to get destroyed. This was floating
around even though I got it from him. Yeah, I think this is it.
This is the Trump twist on the Trump case. Turning
Unknown: now to some court actions former President Trump
catches a break US District Judge Tanya Chutkan. Today
halted all proceedings in his federal election case. Trump is
appealing to have the case dismissed on grounds of
presidential immunity, that decision could potentially lead
to a significant delay in all future proceedings. But Judge
Chutkan said that it doesn't necessarily cancel the pre trial
deadlines. As of now, prosecutors are urging Chutkan
to stay on track and keep the march 4 trial date in place to
speed things up. Special Counsel Jack Smith is hoping to skip the
appeals court and instead let the Supreme Court hear the case.
Despite the temporary pause Chutkan noted that the gag order
is still in effect. Yeah,
Adam Curry: this is this is in the news. This? I have seen
this.
John C Dvorak: So yeah, it's hard to understand what's
actually going on? Well,
Adam Curry: it seems like the Supreme Court will have some say
over this. And I think the point is that the dates that Jack
Smith wants in March, you know, to start all this to make sure
they put them behind bars before the election. That seems like
those dates are in parallel now. And and so I guess the Supreme
Court can just delay and delay and delay. Well, the
John C Dvorak: Supreme Court from their recent track record
isn't going to even take this thing. There's no evidence that
they will. I mean, if did way I've been watching the Supreme
Court, they would go it would go like this. Why didn't this go to
an appeals court before it got to us?
Adam Curry: I'm not the expert, but we have an expert. And he
can rob can probably tell us our Supreme Court attorney.
John C Dvorak: Yes, he will. Maybe he will. Maybe we'll get a
note from him.
Adam Curry: I hope so. Before we take a break, I think because
we're we're running we're running long here. I think we
should talk about Ukraine and Zelinsky coming in and and
trying to try to get some money. He was he was literally hanging
out with defense contractors. There's pictures of for the
Boeing guys the Raytheon guys, he's he's just doing sales for
them. They're like, Hey, Blood, good work. Come on, man. Get
some credit, get some credit.
John C Dvorak: Well, let's start with this Ukraine hang up
Democracy Now. Clip as you have this takes us anywhere.
Unknown: Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky ended his
high stakes day in Washington, DC Tuesday, with little progress
and securing additional war funding. President Biden vowed
the US would support Ukraine quote as long as we can,
unquote, and urged Congress to pass a spending request of over
$100 billion, which also includes funding for Israel,
Taiwan, and further militarization of the US border.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so that's just gonna keep going, though.
John C Dvorak: This is Amy. What is she talking about further
further militarization of our border. That's what does that
mean? She's borders wide open. There's no militarization of the
border.
Adam Curry: Amy, come on, this is what she does. We love Amy
for that we love we love her little quips she's beautiful.
She she should be a professor at Harvard. She be perfect.
Actually, she'd be she shouldn't be an honorary John.
John C Dvorak: Actually, I'm surprised she's not.
Adam Curry: I have a little different take on it. I've only
two clips. Because Vladimir Putin, President of Russia,
running for his fifth term. He did his big show the big show
again. It was He cancelled it last year. This is the TV show
where he goes live for hours and hours and hours. And just any
he's joking around. He's answering questions. He's got a
whole panel there. Yeah. Does Trump owe many times over this?
It's a great show. I mean, I don't understand Russian of
course, but luckily, we have douchebag Doug from France 24.
And he's going to give us a little quick overview, and then
we'll get the Dortch Avella version. But But I love
douchebag dog because he tries to do sarcasm at this very
dangerous when you do sarcasm because people take that
seriously. If you're I don't know not funny.
Unknown: Yeah, his position hasn't changed at all. If
anything after being canceled last year. This has been his
first annual marathon press conference since the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. If anything, he has a lot of stress
in his steps this year. Why? Because it comes at a crucial
moment. It comes at a moment where Western support Western
military aid for Ukraine appears to be dwindling as Republicans,
especially in the United States Congress block a new aid
package. This impotence do validates what he's been saying
all along that the West is basically doesn't have the
staying power, that it's weak and DEC decadent and ultimately
that Putin and his forces his army will outlast the Western so
called resolve the as long as it takes resolved, standing
shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. He's reiterated that
and his objectives when I say nothing's changed in his
position, yes, it was canceled last year. This press
conference, right. This was the first time after one year
hiatus. It was being held again. But what he said is our
objectives there won't be peace until we achieve our objectives.
What are those objectives? They were very he was very clear. In
regards to Ukraine, its detoxification going back to
what has become the staple of the false Kremlin narrative that
somehow they're neo Nazi Hunter running Ukraine. So d not
suffocation, a word that we hadn't heard as much lately, but
he's rehashed it this year, in full in full force at this press
conference, de militarization of Ukraine. Remember, it's not
Russia that's been the aggressor here and attacked Ukraine and
invaded Ukraine. No, no, no. It's the EU. It's Ukraine in the
West. We at the US and NATO's behest, that invaded that
basically attacked Russia and also returning Ukraine to
neutral status. He is unbending unbowed. He says he's always
open for talks, but he's only going to talk if when the with
the West is also willing to play ball and talk.
Adam Curry: I mean, he makes it sound like you like Ukraine
attack Russia. This guy is no good. Doug needs a new gig. So
he pontificates about what Putin saying Deutsche Avella. They
took it a lot more straight and is a little more nuanced.
Vladimir
Unknown: Putin has said Russia has goals in Ukraine remain
unchanged as he holds his end of your press conference. In
Moscow, the Russian president is taking questions from the public
and journalists in an event that has been broadcast live on
Russian state television, and is expected to last for hours and
they should put in who is running for re election in March
canceled at last year's show. And Russia's full scale invasion
of Ukraine. What is even worse, we'll be analyzing what the
Russian president has said so far in just a moment. But first,
let's have a listen to some of what he's had to say.
Adam Curry: So this isn't so now they're going live and they're
translating in live in real time, the true translation of
what Putin said and you just heard Doug pontificate on, he
could have been with this,
Unknown: there will be peace when we achieve our goals. Now,
let's get back to these goals. Well, they don't change. Remind
you of what we talked about today about the suffocation,
about MIDI militarization, neutral status and Windigo ideas
and with it, we will agree on demilitarization agree on
certain parameters. During the negotiations in Istanbul, we
agreed on it and they simply through these agreements into
the oven. Other possibilities to reach an agreement or to resolve
it by force is what we strive for.
Adam Curry: Sounds a lot more nuanced. Yeah. Yeah. And
demilitarized. You know what that means? A demilitarized
zone?
John C Dvorak: It will French 24 doesn't like Putin at all and
we're getting Deutsche Avella which we think is agent of the
CIA is probably part of the system to try to stop this
thing.
Adam Curry: It has to stop again bad product war is not a good
product.
John C Dvorak: And then there are defense guys got their
Adam Curry: money. Now they want more More than yeah well they
can always want more like always getting there $886 billion worth
what a scam how your potholes
John C Dvorak: still there a lot of them well they patch them
once in a while but I can still find places where there's just
tons of them. With
Adam Curry: that I'd like to thank you for your courage in
the morning to you the man who put the seeds in the Chinese
cyber actors ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other end there John Cena
John C Dvorak: in the morning to you Mr. Adam curry in the
morning chips to see boots on the ground feet near subs in the
water. games nights out there man
Adam Curry: nope, nope, not we have. What did? Oh, goodness.

John C Dvorak: Down.
Adam Curry: We're down. We're dying here. We're dying on the
vine.
John C Dvorak: That should be 1800 on Thursday. Well, it's
Adam Curry: not 200 drove we drove away. It was the Taylor
Swift clip. I'm sure of it.
John C Dvorak: I would have done it.
Adam Curry: I apologize. I didn't mean to do it. They
trolls Good to have you here you can become one as well. Go to
troll room.io You can listen live no agenda streams was
playing there. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Hey, I didn't hear it today. I didn't hear the
pre show. But I understand that. Darren went nuts over Taylor
Swift. He just did a whole show. He
Adam Curry: did a he did a Taylor Swift Def Leppard mix.
Yeah, he's right. He's right. I know. I don't know what I don't
know what's wrong with him? Well, I do but I don't know
what's gotten into. We all know what's wrong with there. And
that is what you can listen to before we start live. We do the
show live on Thursdays and Sundays. You can listen to the
Rock and Roll pre show before that. That is the illustrious
Darren O'Neill, who by the way was talking about all that stuff
on Tuesday. He was talking about the about the mailing ballots he
broke that news. He has a show with Sir Jean and they must
John C Dvorak: say hell biggest 50 listeners are all the way up
on now. More than don't kidding I kid
Adam Curry: you know he's he plays all this stuff. And he
makes fun of you throughout the whole show. Now, you've become
the show layman.
John C Dvorak: I wouldn't if I was him. I do the same thing. To
defensive major.
Adam Curry: We also recommend that you get a modern podcast
app. Man, this if you're looking for something that's great on on
your iPhone, I'm sorry to hear that you have an iPhone cast
thematic. If you're looking for a great the experience on the
web pod fans. There's I'm liking podcast guru, right and right
now, fountain is completely refactored, they finally
released version one. I mean, there's a lot of activity going
on the best thing about these apps, besides the fact that you
get notified when we go live, you get notified within 90
seconds of us updating the show, you can't get that with any
other old legacy app, you want to have the new stuff. And if
anyone ever gets the platform thrown off of Apple or any other
of those big platforms, you'll still will be uninterrupted
entertainment for you. Thanks to the modern podcast apps. Yeah,
that's good stuff.
John C Dvorak: It is. I want to make a can I make an
announcement before we get too far into this and people started
hanging up?
Adam Curry: Well, is it about eggs?
John C Dvorak: No, it's about process. I want to remind people
if they if they ordered their PhD, they should go to the no
agenda rings.com site and send us an address to mail them to
which apparently a lot of people have figured well, didn't you
get it from PayPal? Or? I don't know. I didn't know that. Oh,
really? Do we have that issue?
Adam Curry: Do you know it's I'm pretty sure every single
knighting and naming ceremony I specifically say enter the
address where you want us to send the ring and your wax and
your certificate? I'm pretty sure I say that.
John C Dvorak: You do and every single show we always tell that
people that know something but we are a little lacs on telling
people to send their notes to notes. At no agenda show.net
Instead of Gu
Adam Curry: that'll, that'll never get fixed. That'll never
get fixed
John C Dvorak: to they send one to you and send one to me and
they send it you know, so I send it to Jay and use DJ and has to
sort these out.
Adam Curry: I know. Oh, she is finally starting. There you go.
She's starting to complain. She
John C Dvorak: didn't. She mentioned it wasn't complaining.
She's got
Adam Curry: the COVID we're breaking her we're breaking J
Well, we
John C Dvorak: can keep going. We'll get her as she's sick as
sucks. As she gets it flu. I
Adam Curry: think we're almost over we took the ivermectin we
took quesiton D three. Yeah. And it Tina got
John C Dvorak: Lindsay Do you ever figure out what you have?
It wasn't
Adam Curry: I don't know I'm not gonna test I'm not a moron. You
John C Dvorak: know to test you can tell these things are all
slightly different. You sure you should know your body enough to
say, Oh, I'm getting catching the flu? Well,
Adam Curry: I know exactly what I had. But if you want to know,
dude, I had the wave this
Unknown: morning hearing from several
health experts about a potential COVID 19 surge at the end of
this month.
That's right. The latest model show a wave is coming. But ABC
Action wave
Adam Curry: is coming. It's j n dot one baby. Don't you know the
wave is coming? The wave the wave j n one the wave the best
hot his rock station?
John C Dvorak: That's what I'm saying one way. One on your
dial.
Adam Curry: Dan one. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, people
helped Jay out. And by the way, you know, it'll never be linked
from divorce.org/na. But no agenda donations.com It has all
that information there. And I say this, I say I give this
address as well. All right, yeah, you can't change people's
behavior. We can try. But if you want your rings, then you get it
much faster
John C Dvorak: diplomas, too, we gotta get we gotta get the rest
of them out Ross ship. If the 6075 Oh,
Adam Curry: through process people. Process closing process,
I
John C Dvorak: wanted to make a complaint about process. And so
there you have it.
Adam Curry: And you should sign it the management. All caps, all
caps. Value for value is the entire system here, which is now
being used everywhere around the internet, people are catching on
to the idea. Of course, we knew this 16 years ago, this is the
only model for the future.
John C Dvorak: They will it's a it's a safe model, because you
can't get D platformed. Right. You can't get somebody put some
one lunatic. pressuring your advertisers is all it takes to
get them all care where we shouldn't advertise with them.
Now, it only takes one lunatic. Yep,
Adam Curry: that's right. And one loud lunatic and I think we
have a few.
John C Dvorak: We have more than a few loud lunatics. Again, some
nasty notes recently. We'd have when you were going to read
Adam Curry: this coming up what's coming up in a minute.
It's a doozy. It's a real it's a real doozy. So the concept is
time, talent or treasure. We give you all the value we have.
And we've been we really try hard. I mean, we work all week
at this stuff. We do during holidays. Vacations, we take
probably about two shows a year off. And total was was I think
it was one more this year because of some surgical stuff I
was going through. I really really couldn't talk. Otherwise,
chop an arm off and I'll still show up that's a shutout but
there's a lot of things that people can do and you can
contribute because we don't consider your listeners or fans
or the audience. No, you are producers of the no agenda show.
We do it all together. You are no agenda nation. There's a lot
of things you do on your own motivation. See the meetups, but
you know, meetup site, everything. Everything has been
done by you guys. I mean, even the concept like douchebag de
douching karma, none of that. We're not that creative. We
didn't dream that we're not creative. We don't have any
meeting like hey, let's go over some creative No, you guys do
it. We Oh, that's creative. Yeah, a lot of the clips, a lot
of the great finds a lot of fantastic things. It is all you
and it is really appreciated. Now, some people have more
talent than others. Some have more time than others. Some have
more treasure. The artists have talent. And we want to thank the
clip custodian, Neil Jones for the artwork for Episode 1615,
titled day one dictator. And of course, we believe this was
complete AI but it was it was a nice depiction of the Milgram
experiment. I love it when we put these things on x. And we
you know, we send them out into the ether and people go that
should be on a t shirt. I love that that's how good this stuff
is. It is it is it. This was a great piece. We love that a lot
the clip custodian. There's another perfect example the clip
custodian. He sends me clips every single show and his
brother, the clip collector. I think he sends you clips. Steve,
John C Dvorak: does he not? Yes. Steve says me a three by
Adam Curry: three by three. Exactly. I mean, and you know,
and you know what's cool? Sometimes then I'll send it
like, Hey, I got something else to do. That's cool, too. That's
what makes it so beautiful. We don't have contracts. There was
like, Hey, man, you're supposed to deliver clips every single
show. Oh yeah. You're fired, you're fired. You're no good.
John C Dvorak: That's actually the only thing we miss, like
the, like
Adam Curry: the Art Generator, you know. So sir Polka toured.
But the thing has been running for over 12 years. 13 years. And
he actually now on no agenda art generated.com. He has a preview
down at the bottom of what the new generator will look like.
And he has a note for us at the top. I see that. Yeah, he says
the legacy chapter artworks. Now this is important because we
were using those, you know, this would Dred Scott does another
great guy with time on his hands, who does all the chapter
art that work in the modern podcast apps? And I think also
on no agenda. show.net, he said was almost able to deploy before
the start of the show and may still be able to get deployed
before the end of show dealing with some config issues in
production. I hate JavaScript developers. Wow. So it'll be he
says,
John C Dvorak: everybody does Dante.
Adam Curry: I die. I have no opinion on that. And down at the
bottom, it looks like it's gonna be beautiful. And so we're
patient. We're cool. And he's in everyone's chipped in,
everyone's figured it out. They're posting a no agenda
social. He's linking it in. It's a beautiful thing, man, we
appreciate it. Take your time, brother. That's part of how it
works here. And don't pressure him. No pressure him. So this is
where it's Oh, of course, we don't have the same level of, of
supply. Just because it's, you know, it's it's a more
complicated process. I'm sure a couple artists like well, you
know, I wait, you know, they'll wait until it's back up. But
still people are doing it and we're so thankful for that. So
thankful. So thank you to the clip custodian. There were a
couple other pieces we discussed. I liked the CIA
manual from Francisco Scaramanga. And you can play
along at home if you want to know genart. generator.com Yeah,
you didn't like that one. I thought it was funny. To
John C Dvorak: strictly use you couldn't see that he was can't
read that little thing in there and little
Adam Curry: read. Can't read it. And you can read that just fine.
But
John C Dvorak: I'm going to use that as the example of future
example when you bitch and moan about it. You can't read it.
That is my new. I kind of like to train Yeah, we did talk about
the train. Right. It was like it was so AI that it was to AI.
Side. particularly funny. No, no.
Adam Curry: Train comb your hair, man. No, I mean, this was
it. This was the one I
John C Dvorak: think the robot was also AI and then the globe
thing was AI. And then there was a it was all I said, all these
pieces, except maybe one or two of them. Which were the lamer
ones
Adam Curry: speaking, speaking of AI, they want to hear this is
a fun thing. If someone taught me this today, so if you go into
chat GPT and you say, I have I'm typing this now three towels on
a clothes line, and it takes three hours for them to dry. How
long will it take nine towels to dry? I asked you what would the
answer be?
John C Dvorak: The real answer should take about the same
amount of time.
Adam Curry: The drying time for towel I'm reading this live the
drying time for towels depends on various factors including the
material of the towels dishes, neither
John C Dvorak: typical of these answers the air
Adam Curry: the air circulation. However, if we assume that the
conditions remain constant, you can make a simple assumption
that the drying time is directly proportional to the number of
tiles in this case, if it takes three hours for three towels to
dry, you can estimate that it would take nine towels three
times as long, assuming all other factors remain constant.
Therefore it might take approximately nine hours for
nine towels to dry under the same conditions. Yeah, wrong.
Yeah. Keep in mind, this is a rough estimation. And the actual
dries could vary based on factors mentioned earlier. How
stupid is this? It can't do math. I love I listen as well.
John C Dvorak: Is that really math or logic? It's pretty
Adam Curry: basic. I mean, you're saying you're excusing
this behavior?
John C Dvorak: This is this I think AI is the best is from
Adam Curry: an $89 billion company.
John C Dvorak: Well, there's that minor
Adam Curry: thing. minor thing. So yeah, people Yeah, yeah, at
least we get funky art. Yay. Good. Good for you. Because
John C Dvorak: these guys if you if you know how to use these art
generators, the AI ones and you can fine tune it. You can
correct it. You know how to do it. Yeah, you can produce some
because we've been picking really good stuff. Yeah, that's
great. Totally. I mean, I yeah, I we don't worry so much about
plagiarism.
Adam Curry: No, exact that's a thing of the past. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Why bother? Why bother your plagiarize anymore?
Are why bother to the US? clipart?
Adam Curry: Exactly. Give up those licenses. This
John C Dvorak: is really this is a I think it's a on the on the
other clip side of the AI. Praise is the fact that is this
is I guess in the hands of real good artists is maybe a benefit.
But I think overall it's a it's a it's costing jobs. It's gonna
cost jobs,
Adam Curry: jobs, jobs, and jobs. Some jobs. But you know,
we lost the buggy drivers to replace them with cabbies, but
turbans in New York.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they've got to be replaced by self driving
vehicles except in San Francisco with
Adam Curry: fire 900 People from cruise. Cruise cruisers shutting
down.
John C Dvorak: They have to
Adam Curry: one guy they drag one guy. Yeah. How fair is that?
One guy they drag along the streets of San Francisco. Gotta
fire 900 people. Where's the equity in that? I asked you.
Yeah. Well, speaking of New York, Rick Schell duar. He's in
Brooklyn comes in with what I call the striper donation.
Seven, seven. And he says, I saw sir spoon makers ring at the
Brooklyn meetup. Oh, there was a Brooklyn meeting. I didn't get
the meetup report. Oh, there we have producers in Brooklyn who
met is I want one. This donation should bring me up to 1000 I'm
thankful my brother. My brother Mel car and Tucson and my smokin
hot wife winter snark of 17 years, which is why I had to
leave the meet up. And oh my case, what?
John C Dvorak: BOMA casi Alma Cassie,
Adam Curry: what does that mean? Like, Hey, is that fast? Like I
did meet lead the meet up? And I'm a kossei
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Adam Curry: I don't under I don't know. I don't know what
you what we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna night you no matter
what. Thank you. And he doesn't ask for anything else. So that's
easy one. Oh, my kossei.
John C Dvorak: So we have a note from the indie in. In a meet F
in Greenwood, Indiana. Is this this separate third week of the
same? No.
Adam Curry: Do we have? No, no, no, this is the new media. This
is from the raffle. So they finally figured out the raffle
they figured out because they wanted to do it on the last
show. And like we could sneak it in 10 minutes before you start
splitting.
John C Dvorak: But that show before that, why didn't you do
it, then that's when you came back. Because
Adam Curry: as I explained, they have a very complicated process.
And it's very well organized, just a little slow,
John C Dvorak: organized and may switcheroo donation day.
Adam Curry: You can be grateful. I'm grateful
John C Dvorak: for it. But I would like it to be a little
more consolidated. I think there this is
Adam Curry: the consolidation. This is from the raffle. Those
other ones were people who were just there and donated because
they were there. This is from the raffle. And it's all
consolidated. It
John C Dvorak: is Yes. Which rule donation from indie media
for Vikon of Hamilton and the two pennies and no jingles. No
karma. Well, that's a plus. I just want to thank Adam and Tina
for visiting. Okay. God bless. Okay, so I guess that'll be the
end of it.
Adam Curry: No, because the next one is also these are all the
you know how it works, they do a raffle, and they consolidate it
all. And then they gave away like four executive producer
ships and one associate and this is and they sent it in one
email. What's your gripe?
John C Dvorak: Okay, just saying, You
Adam Curry: know what I know, I'm asking you a question.
What's your gripe? What's wrong? What did they do wrong? So we
can make you a happier man? Well, I don't
John C Dvorak: care one way or the other. But I thought this
would all be resolved. And you went there. And then there was a
big meet up report and you had all the donations together and
everything you'd like normally you do a meet up. And then if
there's a report on the meetup, and then all the donations are
submitted, and they all goes through at once. This is the
been the third week that we've been doing the same plugs for
the India in a meet up
Adam Curry: now you don't understand?
John C Dvorak: I guess not know. They just say it's never
happened before.
Adam Curry: It's never they've never had this many donations
before. Which is why I'm just grateful. switcharoo donation
from the indie meetup for John Jones 333. And he says just want
to thank Adam and the keeper for coming to the Indianapolis
meetup. I was one of the lucky winners of the raffle for an
executive producer level donation. For the first oddly
enough 33 years of my life, I had only been surrounded by
people of a particular mindset, which I didn't share. It wasn't
until I started listening to the show that I found that others
were similar free thinkers. Thank you for the no agenda show
as I have not had to feel like I was such an anomaly for the past
11 years. Yikes.
John C Dvorak: Beautiful. Baronet to salty in Manchester,
New Hampshire 333 early Merry Christmas to you and the
producers and listeners the best podcast in the universe may the
Lord's face face face shine upon you all love Baronet to salty of
Manchester. I was I had trouble pronouncing the word borrowers.
Adam Curry: I heard that you went Baba Wawa vers Raza
John C Dvorak: was weird funny to get into a loop where I
couldn't say it and it was like I'm concerned now that I
couldn't say borrow words. I kept trying to put it as to one
borrower. I couldn't do it. And it was just like, very annoying.
I'm wondering if that's a bad thing. Well, I
Adam Curry: was thinking, Trojan
John C Dvorak: that's what triggered my beat. 12 Thomas

solved. And thanks Emily. It's been a fun two weeks on the germ

correct something but he's not helping me with any instrumental
you
John C Dvorak: have to actually have a specific if you're gonna
