John C Dvorak: Hey I funk Adam curry Jhansi Devorah January
4 2024. This
Adam Curry: is your award winning game on HD media
assassination episode 1622. This is no agenda, dodging the
distraction and broadcasting live from the heartland. Victory
here and FEMA Region number six. Good morning, everybody. I'm
Adam curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm
wondering the difference between Ambrose sexuality and gender
fluidity and being starved for attention. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. gotta tighten it up. John got to
tighten it up just a bit got to tighten it up. A little tighter
a little tighter. Now what were those sex abrogation
John C Dvorak: our bro sexuality. Ambrose section
Adam Curry: what is okay, I give up. What is ABS report you do?
Is an eyebrow sexuality.
John C Dvorak: If you look it up, no, I'm not going to it. It
basically means what used to be called gender fluidity. Oh, but
they had to come up with a new term for some unknown reason.
Oh,
Adam Curry: that makes no Well, that makes no sense. So there's
John C Dvorak: a article floating around the net with
remember
Adam Curry: when we said that in 1992
John C Dvorak: There's an article floating around the net
showing this goofy looking girl saying I've been at bro sexual
all these years and I never knew what it meant. Oh. And I look at
it what? Who? I never heard this. And so I look into it. And
it's just another it's another disease. It's how you live for
help. No,
Adam Curry: let's just let's just be honest about you. We're
on tick tock again. No,
John C Dvorak: no, this was not a tic tac toe. This was a an
article floating around the net the net?
Adam Curry: I think we just gotta keep that in. Where do you
find it was floating around the net? That's exactly what we used
to say floating around the net. The netting round. Yes. Remember
the net? Now the good old days of the net? The net the net?
Remember our SLIP and PPP connections to get onto the net?
John C Dvorak: Yes, I do. As a matter of fact,
Adam Curry: your have your wind sock stack. The good old days
John C Dvorak: and they remember they there was always when if
you get it any company back in the early on, like in the 90s.
There's always one person usually a woman who was the
expert at surfing the net?
Adam Curry: Yes, in a company. Yeah. She's the expert wasn't
really all the woman? I don't think so. I think in the
beginning,
John C Dvorak: it was my experience has always been a
woman who is an expert. She was the person that you she's the go
to gal
Adam Curry: in the company. Yeah. And she was probably the
same person who could also make the printer work. It was just
possible just Yes. Yeah. Just guessing
John C Dvorak: needles. No toner. What?
Adam Curry: Well, it was wonderful to see he was
fantastic. Pretty much everybody fell for it and it works very,
very well. It just
pass right everybody the distraction of the week rolled
out
Unknown: through we're just beginning to dive into the more
than 900 pages of court records involving Epstein and his
associates. This is the first time deposition transcripts and
other confidential material previously kept under wraps is
coming out. Some of the more familiar names your lesser
former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, our attorney Alan
Dershowitz, magician, David Copperfield, Governor Bill
Richardson. Now we're reaching out to comment to these men, but
none of them have been charged criminally with any ties to
Epstein's victims, and many in the past have denied wrongdoing.
Oh,
Adam Curry: man X was on fire. Mixes her fire was crow crazy?
Like this is the list?
John C Dvorak: Who's on the list? Listen, nothing. The list.
Oh, yeah. It's
Adam Curry: all about the list. The list the list? Yeah, it's
the list. Everybody pay attention to the list. But of
course, we saw a couple things happen even had in the, in the
newsletter. First we had the unredacted flight logs, extra
pages. This is not the client.
John C Dvorak: How unredacted is every half of the other half two
people blanked out. Yeah,
Adam Curry: the client list I was like what what is it was
what what is it like? It's just like, the invoices or something.
It doesn't have their copy of. of TurboTax. We can see the
client list everyone was all over. Oh, If this was this was
my favorite story about the list. Oh
Unknown: no, not Jimmy Kimmel will NFL New York Jets
quarterback Aaron
Rodgers actually suggested live on ESPN air yesterday that
comedian and host Jimmy Kimmel will be on Jeffrey Epstein's
client list to be released later this week. Let's watch
Fox to somebody back deets on it. Yep, Super Bowl 58 You'll
see the emblem put on the screen and then bring it 57 And 56 has
something to do with the Epstein list that came out that's
supposed to be coming out. I've been waiting for my wine cellar
a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping that
this
clip from this particular program was run on Jimmy Kimmel
show whenever Aaron brought up the list and then Jimmy mocked
him for it man has not forgotten about that. But here we are
sitting right in front of that nice bottle of scotch.
Kimmel slammed Rogers are these accusations writing on x? Dear
aihole. For the record, I've not met flown with visited or had
any contact whatsoever with Epstein. Nor will you find my
name on any list other than the clearly phony nonsense that soft
brain wackos like yours. Can't seem to distinguish from
reality, your reckless words, put my family in danger, keep it
up. And we will debate the facts further in court. As of this
recording, we're still waiting on the release of that
full list. Rogers and Kimmel have history. They don't like
each other.
Adam Curry: Whatever. So everyone's all over the I'm
John C Dvorak: stunned. Everyone's all over the clip
showed up on your behalf. Oh, well, the
Adam Curry: exes show for different reason. But but the
here's the question, David Copperfield on the list, which
is not a list. In fact, it was a list where's the list? There's
no list. But this list is the list people making a list. But
he if David Copperfield was on the list, why didn't he make the
list disappear? Very disappointed.
John C Dvorak: Grown grown.
Adam Curry: So this is what it was. First, we had to tease
everybody keep everybody a little pre distracted with the
with the extra 40 pages. Because President Trump dropped a
document. That's why everyone was distracted with the so
called list. Give him lots of pages to look at. Give him lots
of read it. We'll just make sure we all this is with Copperfield.
I was Jimmy Kimmel there. But there's a very good documentary
piece of what does he call it actually? Summary of election
fraud in the 2020 presidential election in the swing states.
Have you have you seen this document? Yeah, it's
John C Dvorak: it's a beauty. It's really good.
Adam Curry: I mean, it shows all the fraud that went on with
counts recounts, machines that had no that didn't have any, any
receipts, no digital receipts in person ballots cast that were
wrong. I mean, the everything about this should dead people
blooded. And it's a big list. It's really the swing states.
But it's big, a lot about Georgia, of course, and nothing,
nothing on the M five M and very little actually on on x. And all
other places, because everybody was distracted by the list,
which
John C Dvorak: is a sex sex versus, you know, voter fraud.
Let me weigh the two which is going to get the most attention,
sex for voter fraud. Sex wins that one.
Adam Curry: I mean, when you when you look at we and there's
literally nothing of the the only thing they had on the M
five M was, you know, they brought some guy out who wrote a
book about, you know, how Trump paid him to go and verify
everything and Trump lied and paid him to lie. And you know,
so they brought that guy in a couple of times. I won't even
bore you with that. That was pretty funny. Let's see. Did we
have no I don't even think oh, wait. Yeah, I did have. You want
to hear Epstein clips, just for yucks, where you want to skip it
since it's dark out there? For yucks, I'll
John C Dvorak: listen. For yucks, let's
Adam Curry: listen to this. This
Unknown: morning. We're learning why attorneys wanted to depose
former President Clinton and now settled defamation case relating
to allegations against sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And is
one time Paramore. Elaine Maxwell Paramore.
Adam Curry: I love the term Paramore Will you be my
Paramore? Please be my Paramore.
Unknown: We know that Clinton has been publicly associated
with Epstein before
the first batch of previously sealed court documents related
to Epstein or made public last night one from a lawsuit filed
by Virginia goo Frey she's one of the women who say they were
abused at Epstein's home in Florida, New York and on a
private Caribbean island who phrase attorneys sought to
depose Clinton as part of her 2016 lawsuit against Epstein's
former girlfriend. Ghislaine Maxwell because her attorneys
argued Clinton is a key person who can provide information
about his close relationship with Maxwell and Epstein and
disapprove Maxwell's claims. This
is just the first of what's coming out about these names
that have been associated with Epstein for a long time.
And Frey made no allegations of wrongdoing against Clinton
contradicting a previous claim when he flew with Clinton and
the Secret Service in a helicopter. According to
Maxwell's unsealed deposition, she said the allegations that
Clinton had dinner on Epstein's private island were 100% False
without Virginia she phrase lawsuit, this stuff wouldn't
have been exchanged because it was relevant to the claims. And
now the court has decided there's no good basis to keep
this stuff under wraps from the public
after Epstein's arrest in 2019, a Clinton spokesperson denied
the former President knew about Epstein's crimes, denied Clinton
was ever on Epstein's Island and said Clinton had not
communicated with Epstein in more than a decade. Also in the
documents deposition from a witness who said she met Michael
Jackson and magician David Copperfield during her time with
Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial on sex
trafficking charges in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide the
Adam Curry: only the only thing that was really kind of funny
about all this was Dershowitz. The he's a perv.
John C Dvorak: tertia you know, the Dershowitz thing is that
when if you look at the flight logs, and it kind of went over,
Adam Curry: curious when you went over the flight logs,
John C Dvorak: looking at as everything is on initials and
code names, except Alan Dershowitz spelled out in all
caps. I found that to be a little peculiar. And the other
thing that's peculiar about the flight logs is they seem to have
spent as much time in his never discussed, but that flight with
the with Maxwell and a couple other girlfriends and Epstein,
they were spending most of their time in Palm Beach or not Palm
Beach, but Palm Springs.
Adam Curry: Now, of course, good to hang out. The whole thing is
stupid. And every network, all this attention paid to and
where's Elon Musk talking about the voter fraud? I thought he
was all about that. That was all about fair elections finish.
Yeah, exactly. Exact No. Instead, what do we have
promoted on? Well, Trump was exonerated because he didn't he
didn't have sex with anybody. He just he just, you know, just met
him for dinner. It's so disappointing that people fall
for this easy, easy probe. The minute I heard about the list,
I'm looking at the other way, what's going on. And Trump comes
out with this. And it's in the show notes. If anyone cares to
take a look at it. He's no one cares. It's well documented, he
would have won easily. They really know what the worst part
is. You can't trust elections at all. It's not about Democrats
cheating better than Republicans. This particular
2020 this particular cycle, you can't trust any of it we have
that our elections are bogus.
John C Dvorak: I am not going to argue the point because I live
in California where they're obviously bogus. But worse than
California is Washington State to get more on Governor they
have up there was like just a dork. And he's doing it. He's
like he acts like a dictator. And because it's 100% male in
ballots, it's ridiculous. It's just complete fraud up there in
Washington state is you have to have people have to be able to
go to a polling place. They have to fill out a ballot as a paper
ballot that is collected and stored and can be recounted.
That's the only way you can do it legitimately. And they do it
in big countries that way. But no, no, we can't do it that way.
We have to have this and that and machines and computers and
wizards do it online. Let's have it on the internet.
Adam Curry: And the thing is, people don't care. You're
absolutely right. Hey, I'd rather look at the list. Who's
on the list? Oh, Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, he was friends with Epstein
chef. He must know something. He can't be totally in the dark.
Pathetic, it's pathetic. Really is just sad.
John C Dvorak: And if it wasn't I do have one kind of an Epstein
clip which is just a one. It's like it Mike kind of complained
about. About your buddy over there in Texas.
Adam Curry: My buddy, which buddy? Joe Rogan, Alex Jones,
Alex Jai Alex Jones. Okay.
John C Dvorak: Alex rerelease an old clip that he made. I don't
know why it bothered. But he put it on x because he's back on x
and Twitter. So this is he. I just want to play a little bit
of it because I realized that Alex The problem I've always had
with him is that he was just say stuff that's wrong. And he for
example, he says he says here we are at the end I don't have this
part on the clip but I can assure you can go back and
listen to it. He says here's the Epstein seven story bit
townhouse. He says seven stories and they when they bring the
camera up, and it's literally three stories, three, not even
five. And then he's got a couple other little gimme things in
here that just make no sense. But Bill
Unknown: Gates, who took control of all the major world health
departments in
Adam Curry: the planet, Bill Gates, not on the list, oddly,
Bill Gates, not on any any of the any of the documents of the
depositions nothing weird. Bill
Unknown: Gates, who is trying to force an occupation is on us to
bring in a world dictatorship, a world economy, a World Social
credit score, world ID, Bill Gates was evidence shows in
charge of Jeffrey Epstein, and that's why Jeffrey Epstein had
to die. There were people above Bill Gates. So we're here in New
York City, to investigate the roots of how the corruption and
how the blackmail operation to expose it is those doors that
Prince Andrew was famously photographed staring out as
young women came in and out. It's those doors that famously
Bill Gates was caught going into and having parties, it's those
doors that the system didn't want us to know about because
they wanted to use that blackmail, that control to
control the people that control our lives. And remember, many of
the people that came to be compromised here and to engage
in sex crimes, did it as a gang initiation. You've all heard of
Crips and Bloods, they got to either kill another member of
the other gang or like shoot some innocent person that works
at a liquor store. You hear about the Mexican Mafia. You've
heard the Italian Mafia, the hillbillies, all of them have to
commit a crime, be part of the club. But in prison, you get
killed if you're a pedophile. Nobody puts up with that one of
her children. This is the ultimate cold because to get in
there cold, you've got to abuse children. And that's what this
facility is about. That's why Bacchus, the Roman god of
debauchery, and evil is above the door, and up on the top,
there's images of little naked children dancing.
John C Dvorak: Okay, first of all, Bacchus is the god of
agriculture, the Roman god of agriculture. Can you stickler
for details, and butchery a debauchery is actually a term
that was developed in the 1500s that from the French were were
de bois che, I'm
Adam Curry: going to text Alex right away and tell him that he
is wrong. And it's
John C Dvorak: just this kind of thing that bothers me. Because
it's a three storey building a seven storey building, he claims
Bill Gates was in charge of the whole operation, that'll be the
day. And then he goes on with it just as well, you.
Adam Curry: You You don't know any more than he does. If Bill
Gates was in charge of any operation or not.
John C Dvorak: Leave me Why would I believe, charge him of
an international blackmailing operation? Involving? Well, you
know, I operations I just don't know, you act like you know him.
I do know him and I know what he's capable of. And that's not
one of the things he can do or would
Adam Curry: do. But he's, he's, he's one of the main peons in
the New World Order.
John C Dvorak: Well, that may be true in some way. Okay.
Adam Curry: Do do you think is the mastermind behind Bill
Gates? Because he can't do anything if he can't, if he
can't even blackmail people with with sex? What can he do? That's
the easiest thing to do.
John C Dvorak: You know, the funny thing is, at the beginning
of this spiel, Jones goes on about two people are running the
world and he says the Club of Rome, which is impossible, yeah,
Club of Rome may have something to do with 300. And then he
says, the British Royal Family, yeah, they're the reptiles, of
course. But he never associates the possibility that Prince
Andrew is always in there now that he's that he's that he's
poor. He's the real guy running the whole thing. I'll take that
as a possibility. Okay, and I'm dying as a possibility. So
Adam Curry: people should know, John, and never talk in between
shows, quite frankly, you know, after three and a half hours
twice a week, we kind of run zyk of each other. John sends me his
clips. I don't listen to them. I do look at the just at the
titles. And we have a lot of overlap in topics. I don't think
we have overlapping clips, overlap and topics. So if you
don't mind, I'll kick one off. And then you can pick it up
because I see you have a number of clips. This is about the
border crisis, as we know that there's what is happening here
in the United States. His policy policy is to allow people in
catch and release parole, get work permits temporary
protective status, the vote the let them vote. The estimates are
10,000 people coming The interview before I even go in,
it was interesting. One of the one of the stepdaughters calls
yesterday says, Hey, I'm thinking about moving to London
or the EU. And, you know, try my luck over there. So Oh, that's
great. Have you thought about what it takes to get a visa? Ah,
John C Dvorak: yeah, you can't just is not the expected answer.
No,
Adam Curry: but but people don't even. I think, because if you
live in America, it's like, they've already been given this
kind of this programming that, well, you know, if you need to
come into America, then you know, we welcome you. I'm sure
all countries do that. And if you look at Europe, and you look
at the UK, the UK is tightening down. It's like why migrants go
in there all the time. So I guess I can go in No, no, no.
And if you look at the UK, have been the the quickest besides,
although it would still take quite a while. You know, if you
want to marry somebody, she even said, Well, could you adopt me?
I said, No, I'm American citizen. But the only reason I
could work in the UK is at the time it was before Brexit Breck
breakfast, Brexit, and I was married to an EU national. So
that's the only reason why I could work there and live there.
But the fastest way to get a visa is you can get an
agriculture visa for six months picking fruit. That didn't go
over well. Anyway. So we have this this stalemate in in the
American government in Congress, which is mainly run by the
Republican saying, well, we're not going to give any money to
the war machine for Ukraine and for Israel, unless we unless you
fix the border, got to fix the border. And unfortunately, I was
right. It's a scam. And it's in this clip. Tonight
Unknown: amid a record number of border crossings House Speaker
Mike Johnson and 64 house republicans touring the southern
border descending on Eagle Pass Texas to demand stricter
immigration policies.
One thing is absolutely clear. America is at a breaking point
with record levels of illegal immigration December
reaching that record high sources telling ABC news there
were 302,000 migrant encounters. And until changes are made to
border policies. Republican lawmakers are vowing to hold up
emergency funds for Ukraine Israel and the border HR to
secure the border Act would resume construction of the
border wall change who qualifies for asylum and limit the
Department of Homeland Security's ability to grant
migrants parole,
our position is very clear. And we have made that clear, again
for seven months. HR two is the necessary ingredient. Why?
Because it has provisions that fix each of these problems. And
these things work together.
And today, senators on Capitol Hill working to strike a
bipartisan deal. We're making progress
we're closer than but this is a very difficult issue.
Overnight, President Biden placing the blame on Republicans
saying without funding, his hands are tied.
Adam Curry: Alright, so there it is, exactly as I predicted, this
is about HR to all that you really need to do is say we
changed the policy so that you just can't come in and get
parole, we're not going to catch and release we're going to
reject. That's all that it would take. And I think Biden might
have signed some executive orders that he would have to
undo. But there's no necessity for any type of legislation. But
here it is. The color wait.
John C Dvorak: There is a little gotcha in there. Ray says in
your Biden says his hands are tied. But he last show, we
played a clip where he's already been giving money to Ukraine,
that has not been approved by Congress. And I made a big fuss
about it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I don't care. Because right now, you should
care. Right now I'm about to tell you about HR two. And what
is an HR two? This is a huge bill. I mean, it's big, like so
are you say how big it's big. And the estimated cost, just the
beginning is 56 billion, which is not so much but let's just
look at a few little items from HR to US Customs, Border
Protection, technology upgrades. That's where the first money
goes. And you know how much money they appropriated for that
just to start off with 2024 and 2025. Magic number $33 million.
Right there that tells you it's a scam. They got the magic lamp
number. They're going to upgrade and add to license plate
readers, tower base surveillance surveillance, deployable,
lighter than air ground surveillance equipment, vehicle
and dismount exploitation radars, also known as Vader,
three dimensional seismic Acoust leak detection, advance
unattended surveillance sensors, mobile vehicle mounted manned
portable surveillance capabilities unmanned aircraft
systems drones, tunnel detection systems fiber optic cable that's
an actual line item. And then of course we're going to change ID.
This will legalize what they've already been doing at the
airports collection of biometric information from certain
individuals seeking entry into the sterile area of an airport,
that's you and me, when you're going through TSA has nothing to
do with being an immigrant, illegal brown skin whatever.
Beginning not later than 120 days after the date of the
enactment of this act, the administrator shall collect
biometric information from an individual described in
subsection E. And subsection e is the individual described in
the subsection seeking entry into the sterile area of an
airport. That's everybody. So there's your biometric
collection, which I've already been doing. But now it's just
legal, and we're going to live with it forever. At my favorite
is the employment eligibility verification system e verify.
This has been a very contentious point, this E verify in the
past. People don't want to run forever, but it doesn't really
exist. The conversation has been now now it will now will be
required that employment eligibility be confirmed through
E verify for every individual who is going to work at a
company. This is universal identification. That's what this
is. And this thing is huge. There's all kinds of nonsense in
there. They didn't have time to look through it all but have
look. It's like 400 pages. We don't need that it's a scam.
That was scamming us.
John C Dvorak: There was nothing anyway. I mean, if it was HB
two, I think the whole thing is it's hrs and it's House
Resolution. It's bullcrap. From the get go, the whole thing is a
rousse.
Adam Curry: It will it will turn into full on legislation that
you know it will this is Schumer let's lit whose bill it this is
Schumer. It's Schumer, that guy's no good.
John C Dvorak: Well, who is good? Well,
Adam Curry: not the International Rescue Committee.
Just need to mention these guys real quick. The International
Rescue Committee are is one of the main funders of this illegal
immigration. And I have their form 990 here, which always lay
Yeah, it's a good one. How much do you think the internet this
is? The president of this is David Miliband? Because he seems
like a guy who cares. You know, he's compassionate. David
John C Dvorak: Miliband did the ex politician from Great Britain
who is up there at the top of the of the possible Prime
Minister, wannabes. Well, he came over, he was brought this
the operation you're going to discuss which I've looked into
myself, is unbelievable.
Adam Curry: You know how much he makes at the International
Rescue? A million or 1,086,979 bucks. And then he gets some
health
John C Dvorak: care stuff. And he's only the front man,
according to most people. Oh, yeah. So
Adam Curry: this whole outfit receives this year current year,
so that would be 2022. That this was filed. $1.355 billion. Yeah,
yeah, they were short last year, only 924 million disappointing
year, disappointing year. And you can see where it's coming
from and what they give their money to allow me to scroll
down. I'm just giving you some of the how this where this
billion billions of dollars comes from is just kind of fun
and interesting. So you know that, you know, who's really
behind this is our own government institutions. We have
$177 million. I'm rounding up $178 million from the Bureau of
Population, Refugees and Migration. They're in there on C
Street in Washington, Department of Health and Human Services
$123 million. The Bureau for humanitarian assists, these are
all the US government organizations 100 and 15
million. Then the French, the belt, the European Union kicks
in 75 million European Union humanitarian department. Thanks.
Thanks, guys. Let's see the UN High Commissioner on refugees 45
million. The Germans kick in 37 mil eight Swedes kick in 34. But
we're clearly the ones funding the most of it. And then if you
see where the money's going to, is it going to else to
Venezuela? Now? Now it's all going to Africa, East Asia more
after Rikka Caribbean Sub Saharan Africa, we're paying for
this. We're paying for this to take place. And this is just one
of the organizations that does this.
John C Dvorak: It's yeah, they're a big one, though.
Adam Curry: I mean, where's the chance for this? Hey, hey, ho
ho, IRC has got to go. Don't worry. It's cool, though
happening in in California. As of the first of January all
undocumented immigrants are eligible for health care
insurance. How about the school?
John C Dvorak: That seems that seems righteous to I don't want
a bunch of sick, sick immigrants roaming around Come on.
Adam Curry: Dutch Dutch study says immigration is costing the
state 17 billion euros a year. Oh, yes. And they're breaking
down the walls of the of the government in Holland about
this. Not really no one cares. Nobody cares. I don't know.
Okay,
John C Dvorak: go to my border clips this border BS clip one.
Dozens of
Unknown: House Republicans are at the southern border in Eagle
Pass, Texas. Their trip comes as Customs and Border Patrol saw a
record high number of illegal crossings in December, around
300,000 crossings. That is roughly the size of the city of
Orlando crossing into the United States illegally in a single
month. NTDs a congressional correspondent Melina Weiskopf
reports for us.
House Republicans have made several trips to the southern
border. But this is the first time that Mike Johnson is
leading a delegation as the speaker and it comes at a time
when pressure is high as right now the Senate is working on a
deal with the White House. They're trying to find common
ground solutions over immigration and border policy
how to change those policies to fix the immigration issue. But
House Republicans they have their own list of demands, much
of which includes returning to Trump era border policies such
as the remain in Mexico policy. This delegation was made up of
around 64 Republican lawmakers from 26 states, the Republican
Speaker says and they met with Border Patrol agents, they met
with local residents, they viewed processing centers all to
get a grip of the current situation of the border. Here's
what those Republicans had to say about the urgency of the
issue arguing why their demands deserve to be met.
When when President Trump entered the Oval Office, he he
put in the remain in Mexico policy. He ended the catch and
release policy. He did the fundamental common sense things
that stem the flow, it was down to a tiny fraction of what it is
right now. In December alone. It's the highest number in
history. And it's going to continue because they're showing
no no no inclination at all to change it.
Adam Curry: Neither are you Mike Johnson. Did you think he even
reads this stuff?
John C Dvorak: I still have I'm reserving I'm I'm
Adam Curry: reserving my my thoughts about him now to I'm
not liking what he's doing here.
John C Dvorak: But here we go to clip the
Unknown: greatest
domestic threat to the national security and the safety of the
American people as Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
And that last person you just heard from with Congressman Mark
Green, he's the chairman on the Homeland Security Committee
here. He says that next week his committee will officially begin
those impeachment proceedings against DHS Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, arguing that he has failed to uphold his duty to
secure the border. But the DHS Secretary has pushed back saying
he simply doesn't have the money or the resources to 100% carry
out his job, effectively saying that the ball is now in
Congress's court. Take a look at we had to say
we need additional personnel to advance at the border. We need
technology to advance our fight against fentanyl. We need
additional asylum officers to really accelerate the asylum
adjudication process.
But Republicans aren't Congress does give the DHS more money
that money will only be used to process more illegal immigrants
and release them into the country rather than use the
money to try to stem the flow of illegal immigration to begin
with reporting from Capitol Hill, Molina Weiss cup and TD
news.
Adam Curry: Yeah, there you go. Just when he's processed faster
because we need to overwhelm the system faster, faster before
Trump gets in. We got to start the collapse so we can win and
we can blame it all. Gotta go. Gotta go.
Unknown: Clip three and entities. Jason Blair is down in
Eagle Pass Texas where he spoke to lawmakers about the trip.
I'm here in Eagle Pass Texas right in front of the US Mexico
border. Now today 64 Members of Congress were here. They were
touring the why
Adam Curry: did they 64 members of Congress have to go down to
Eagle Pass to go look at the border. I mean, it was this the
fact finding mission where they can find finding where they
where they confused. about what's happening that just for
tacos. That's the reason I went for tacos. I
John C Dvorak: imagine any other reason right? All that you don't
need that many people you need one guy in a camera crew.
Adam Curry: It's Do people still fall for this kind of dump? Er,
John C Dvorak: oh, Congress taking it serious Oh, roaming
around this old group of 64 is too many for wind down
Adam Curry: yet Mike Johnson talking about oh, yeah, you've
taken it seriously and
Unknown: entities Jayson Blair is down in Eagle Pass, Texas
where he spoke to lawmakers about the trip. I'm
hearing Eagle Pass Texas right in front of the US Mexico
border. Now today, 64 members of Congress were here. They were
touring the area. In any event hosted by Representative Tony
Gonzalez. Now they spoke with local law enforcement. They
spoke with people here on the ground that are seeing the
situation at the border every day. They were speaking to
ranchers, they were touring facilities. And afterwards, I
got a chance to speak with a couple of them. And here's what
they had say.
Today, we have members of Congress from 26 states, also
American Samoa. And so we are here to learn the latest and
certainly the latest is what
Adam Curry: is the point of saying we also have American
Samoa here. What's the point? What's the point? D I like
John C Dvorak: we're I think you need where's your versie? Hey,
wait, it's just a bunch of guys from Alabama. We're a diverse
group. Okay.
Unknown: Today we have members of Congress from 26 states, also
American Samoa. And so we are here to learn the latest. And
certainly the latest is the American families have been at
no greater risk of attack than they are today with the hundreds
of terrorists and across the border in the last year. But
during the mind administration, every American family is at
risk. It's just inconceivable the madness of the Biden
administration, not understanding the Biden
administration should be ashamed of themselves, New Yorkers
should be ashamed of themselves, the thought of by instituting an
open border for sex trade for human trafficking for human
slavery. This is the 21st century.
Adam Curry: It's interesting that not a single one of them
will ever say the truth. They always throw out a ha It's
horrible. Women and children giving abuse being trafficked
being raped fentanyl, this fentanyl that they never say,
this is overwhelming our system. That's the truth. And that's
what they never say. And
Unknown: hey, a key point. There's no country that doesn't
maintain their border except the United
Adam Curry: States. Have you seen Europe? No, not every other
Unknown: country and maintains their border because they
understand that it would lead to chaos. It would lead to
victimization, it would lead to persecution of individuals. And
so our border needs to be maintained as any other border
in the world.
Adam Curry: He forgot overwhelming the system. They
all know it. They all know it. Now, it's great because we'll
all get well, it's
John C Dvorak: been overwhelming. You have to do
that. Because you got it. It's obvious, at least by these clips
that we keep playing Yes. That Trump's gonna get in again. Very
probably should have gotten in, you know, he'd be out by now. He
beat this would be his last year in office if they had not jobbed
him on that. We wouldn't have
Adam Curry: war. I mean, this is no good. We needed we needed.
John C Dvorak: We needed war we had whatsoever. Yeah, we could
kill if it's possible. He would have killed a country. Yep.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yes, right. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Unknown: And the last trading piece of it is it's correctable
now, the best way, or the long term way that the American
people can correct it is by electing President Trump back
into office, or, frankly, any Republican but my preference is
President Trump because he proved he could do it. But
secondly, if Biden would just correct course and just instill
one provision, probably of our of our HR to legislation passed
in Republican Congress. And that is remaining Mexico, of you
seeking asylum, you need to do your first country of origin,
your first country of asylum, if you do that, like all other
countries do, or just about all this problem would be would be
reduced by 70? Maybe 80%.
Adam Curry: How about 100% Asylum is only supposed to occur
at designated ports. These guys don't they're all just part of
the system. They're all they've all been blackmailed by Jeffrey,
by Bill Gates. That's clear. He's got him under that thumb.
Crazy bill. Yeah. Now that's it. That's your that's your border
that's still ongoing.
John C Dvorak: My favorite thing going on this week is the fact
that you can play this clip the Biden threat to democracy speech
is supposed to be on the anniversary of January 6. And he
had to put a stall at put it off a day. A
Unknown: major speech coming up as President Biden is seeking to
draw a contrast with former President Trump. That's his
polls show Biden trailing Trump and key battleground states. And
today's White House correspondent I was Tao reports.
So we are expecting to see a major split screen moment this
Saturday on the third anniversary of January 6 between
former president from and President Biden from President
Biden's giving a speech on democracy at Valley Forge a
historic Revolutionary War site and your Philadelphia. And the
goal here is to try and to convince voters that former
President Trump poses a historic threat to democracy when they
Biden's campaign says has only grown more dire in the years
after 2020. We want the White House today saying this about
January 6, watch.
What happened on January 6 was unprecedented. An attack on our
core principles and attack on on democracy what we saw was an
attack on a rule of law. And
the White House tells us stuff President Biden said he also had
lunch with a group of historians and scholars about, quote, The
ongoing threat to democracy and democratic institutions here in
America and around the world. So we are really seeing President
Biden's campaign here trying to jumpstart this year's campaign
events with a theme about fight for democracy and Biden versus
Trump as we're getting closer and closer to a potential
rematch between the two.
Adam Curry: So that's going to be wall to wall on Saturday.
John C Dvorak: Well, no, because it's got because of the weather.
It gets it gets stormy back there and so they're going to
put it off so that whole symbolism of January 6 is lost.
But that's
Adam Curry: kind of how they know it's it was already stormy.
Is it going to be stormy on Saturday? Is that the
John C Dvorak: yeah is what they think so.
Adam Curry: So we can't do this.
John C Dvorak: This morning's news has been put off. So the
whole thing is a joke now. Oh, no, I think it may not be the
weather at all. But they have a doctor that says look we have a
cycle. For what we can juice Joe up with juice Joe I like that.
And we can't juice him up for this Saturday or you're gonna
kill the guy. We can't do it. Juice Joe is juice Joe has
Adam Curry: a good one. Oh, I have a new a new chant. Where's
my chance clip? There's a new chant.
John C Dvorak: We should be documenting these chants on a
website.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. Good idea. I'll get right on it. Here's
genocide Joe chance Listen to this one.
You hear it. Biden Biden pick aside ceasefire or genocide
that's a pretty good one. I like it. I like it. And they have a
tagline here too.
So the follow up is Biden. Biden. You're a liar. We demand
a ceasefire. Yeah. Man. A ceasefire? Yeah, yeah. Well,
it's not going to happen until until every single Palestinian
is out, ousted, ousted, completely ousted and rousted.
They can't, you know, why don't you if you have a I believe you
have some some Hamas clips. I have some thoughts on your
initial theory about the Red Sea. So I'd like you to kick it
off. And you know, particularly if you got Houthi stuff that
would be most relevant I think,
John C Dvorak: but I do I have both Husi and Hamas stuff not
let's throw it at me. Well, let's start with Hamas. Which is
kind of is a screwball one is Hamas leader plus more in TD
yesterday after
Adam Curry: it. Why do screwball let's get down to the good
stuff? Is this good? Good stuff is all screwball. Okay,
Unknown: just a day after Israel's reported strike in
Lebanon that killed a Hamas commander reactions are mixed.
Meanwhile, Iran, which is known for backing the terrorist groups
fighting Israel is now facing attacks on its own soil. A pair
of bombs in the country reportedly killed over 100
people. Entities. Jason Perry has the war update
after the airstrike near Beirut that killed a Hamas leader. The
Hamas terrorist group on Wednesday said the strike was an
act of terrorism and a violation of Lebanon sovereignty. Innocent
Lebanese civilians now find themselves caught in the
crossfire. It's not accounted for
there was an assassination which led to the death of leaders. As
you can see, we're surrounded by wreckage and cars. It's harmful
to Beirut. It feels like an invasion of Beirut, an invasion
of Lebanon.
Meanwhile, this Israeli man's father is currently being held
hostage by Hamas terrorists and he thinks the airstrike that
killed the Hamas leader in Lebanon has hurt the chances of
his own father coming home.
Of course, this would not help. It's only do the opposite. So I
don't know who's in charge and who's giving the other but he's
definitely not thinking about the hostage negotiation. Doc's
he's said this about the approximately 100 hostages who
remain in captivity in the Gaza Strip
afraid that they're running out of hope. And the lack of hope
might kill them as well. Alongside the horrible condition
to starve the starvation, the sanitary condition in Gaza, the
Israeli bombing, the Israeli soldier who might accidentally
shoot them, as happened before, the factors that can kill him
are growing larger by the hour.
And sadly on Wednesday, Israel Defense Forces announced the
death of another hostage. You
Adam Curry: know, the reason why these clips come from NTD is
because this has no legs, the hostage thing that might have
worked during the Reagan era, no one gives a crap about hostages.
It's not working. They're trying to make this the focus and
because you know, if it bleeds, it leads, but it's no good. The
hostages don't have the right chatter. They don't speak
English. Of course. You know, you don't have the family
members, you can have crying. Unless it's translated. It's not
working. The West is not buying into the hostage mean.
John C Dvorak: That have to agree with you. So let's go to
the Houthis. The Houthis Yes. Yeah, Houthi is is a Houthi Suez
discussion on a shipping. By
Adam Curry: the way I wanted to mention, I finally realized what
really bothers me what really bothers me about that Houthi
militant video with them with the helicopter landing on the
ship,
John C Dvorak: you mean the video of the helicopter that
you're obsessed with? And
Adam Curry: I finally realized what it is. If you look at this
video, at the beginning, you see the horizon does not move. And
you're so the shot is supposedly on the tail boom of the
helicopter. And it's moving left and right. And it's getting down
to the ship. But either I mean, I would be very surprised if
they had a GoPro on a gimbal. Because that won't work very
well with any type of downwash or rotor wash. I mean it now I
know that that that helicopter is it looks like it's inserted
into the shot. It looks just like a drone shot. And they
inserted this helicopter because when you see the helicopter
moving and the camera is affixed to the helicopter, the horizon
doesn't move. So that and of course that footage is from 2020
to blitz beside the point. But the whole thing is phony
baloney. All right.
John C Dvorak: Okay, well, we'll hear about this again, the next
show. Yes, we will. The other anomaly.
Adam Curry: Well, I've got there's lots of there's lots of
anomalies.
Unknown: The Houthi attacks in the Red Sea are impacting global
supply chains and causing oil and freight costs to rise. how
seriously should the US be taking this as a national
security issue? Joining us now to discuss we have Jim Nell's
supply chain consultant and economic analyst to begin, the
Red Sea crisis is now spilling over into African ports that are
swamped with all the ships that have been rerouted. Now, fuel
prices are expected to rise as a result, but give us a sense of
what the economic fallout is here.
Well, if you look at the stretch of the Ocean between the Suez
Canal and the Gulf of Aden, they call it the I 95 of the ocean,
you get about 21,000 ships a year that travel down there,
about $9 billion a day of commerce traverse the Red Sea.
So the economic impact is quite large. It also includes anywhere
from three to 8 million barrels of oil a day. And that's why
we're seeing oil start to increase oils up a couple of
bucks today, was down the other day. But I think we're going to
continue to see it rise, as more and more shipping companies say
we're not going to traverse the Red Sea, we're going to go
around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and add 14 to 21 days of
the supply chain.
And what impacts do these shipping delays and rerouting
have on national security
or national security, we'll see start to see store shelves maybe
not have as much as you would like to have on there, you may
not be able to get some of the products that you'd like you're
not going to see what we saw during COVID. But the bigger
concern is the inability to get oil through the through the Red
Sea. And when you start to combine this with the issues
that we're having with the Panama Canal, the Panama Canal
right now is running at 50% capacity because of very low
water levels. So between the Panama Canal and the Red Sea,
we're starting to see a very large backup of shipping. And
we'll start to see congestion ports. We saw what happened with
that, and 2020 and 2021. So there are some national security
implications. But hopefully we can get this resolved quickly.
And we're not going to say anything to the extent that we
saw back during COVID. Does anyone
Adam Curry: come up with a possible increase in consumer
goods analysis of of this, this obvious increase in shipping
costs?
John C Dvorak: It hasn't shown up in the debate, but there's a
quote, there was a little gotcha in there that just kind of a
wait a minute. Why is the Panama Canal water levels so low? When
the oceans are rising?
Adam Curry: It's climate change.
John C Dvorak: Climate change means the oceans are rising. You
have the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, both oceans, they
should be rising, making the Panama Canal flooded, as opposed
to so low that they have to ships can't go through.
Adam Curry: I know, it's also record cold in Scandinavia,
because of climate change, so just shut up about it. All
right. As climate change, there's one answer, and it's
always the right one. Climate change.
John C Dvorak: The other right answer is clip two.
Unknown: And speaking of COVID, we saw ship supply lanes hit
especially as factories in China ground to a halt. What can we
expect to see this time in terms of the Red Sea? Is this a type
of warfare attacking the shipping lanes, a
Adam Curry: type a new type of warfare? Is this is you know,
when people are shooting and missiles and drones, is that a
type of warfare? Or is it just like no celebration, but
Unknown: it's definitely a type of warfare by attacking the
shipping lanes. Fortunately, with the Red Sea, that's
primarily a route between Europe and Africa and Europe and Asia.
So it doesn't necessarily impact the US to a great extent, again,
except for natural resources such as oil. Over the long term,
they'll we'll start to see more and more things impacted the
United States, but we can't afford to start to see huge
backups at the ports. Because especially the United States,
our ports are so inefficient, it takes forever to unload a ship.
And we just can't afford to have that happen from a national
security perspective set
Adam Curry: up with the national security. Is it not also true
that we are exporting tons of oil right now?
John C Dvorak: Oh, we have to shoot course we are. Okay,
because we're producing more oil than ever before.
Adam Curry: Because that's by the
John C Dvorak: way this this this notion that we're unloading
ships is beyond me. Who will look over here? I can't see who
is more moderate than Oakland.
Adam Curry: Who is this guy? This talking? Who
John C Dvorak: is this guy that some expert? Oh, okay, good. You
have to go back to a clip one to get his name. But it's like is
Was that like a dig? Or was that to say, say we should buy more
of the gear from China to unload ships? As though we haven't got
enough of these these? We're looking cranes. I guess. That's
something I've just found that to be off putting? Let's go to
clip three.
Adam Curry: Where's this from
John C Dvorak: this? Is it NTD? Yeah, yeah, they're gonna they
do these interviews with these different people that don't get
interviewed elsewhere. And I find the discussion to be a
little more interesting than this stuff you'd get from the
network's.
Unknown: And now it seems the 10 country coalition to stop these
attacks hasn't been that successful. Now in the 80s, the
US launched Operation praying mantis to attack Iran, what
would it take now to stop the Houthi? So
here we go. That would take something similar. So for
oppression frame, as this was launched by President Reagan,
after United States warship hit a mine that was placed in the
Gulf by Iran, we decided to destroy two of their oil
platforms, we sank half their navy, we need to do something
like that today. And it has to be done against Iran, not
against the Houthis. The Houthis don't do anything without a
ramped permission without their funding or without their
weapons. So we need some sort of major strikes up into Iran to
show them that they have to stop this. I'll get the Biden
administration credit. So far, they've shown great restraint
because they don't want to expand the war in Israel beyond
Israel and Hamas make me a mom, but it's now time for them to
step up and say, no more Iran, and we're gonna punish you for
doing this. If you don't, again, we'll punish you a second time.
And then a third time the recovery that touches on a
little child that thinks that they can continue to steal candy
from the grocery store, and it's time for mom to tell them no
more stealing candy.
Adam Curry: This guy's an idiot because the Biden administration
has appeasement that's that's what Obama did. Their whole
strategy with Iran has been appeasement. Let's keep giving
them money. So they don't they don't become friends with China.
That's their strategy. Remember that just before October 7.
There was it. Of course, it wasn't a payment. But it was, I
remember wasn't that long ago. Now. There was a release of
funds, which was Iranian money, which was, of course immediately
blamed for this attack. But that's the whole strategy. The
Biden the Obama Biden strategy has always been appeasement
willed and you know, because you know, they're two weeks away
from a nuclear bomb. So, two weeks, two weeks, two weeks
alright, isn't
John C Dvorak: wrapped. Would this last one? And
Unknown: would something on the level of Operation praying
mantis be permissible nowadays, seeing that operation pre Mantis
was deemed unjustified back then?
Why should we care what other people think? We have to protect
our own interests. That's what we need to do. Israel doesn't
care what the world thinks about what they're doing with the
last, we shouldn't care what the world thinks about what we do to
protect our national interests.
Adam Curry: All right. Now, I've gotta gotta jump in here.
There's a couple things happening, the backdrop that we
haven't been paying attention to it also really hasn't. It
certainly hasn't been in US News. And let's just go back to
the Genesis October 7, the first thing we heard was, it's like
911 times 1000. And I will agree that it was like 911, because
like, 911, no matter what you think of the building seven,
falling out of sympathy for buildings, one and two, no
matter what you think about was it planes or explosions or
whatever it was allowed to happen. That was not a mistake.
And that was the same with October 7, it was allowed to
happen. And we forgotten that already. It was insane. How that
how the border walls and gates and fences of the house
completely unprotected. That was That made no sense. We've
already forgotten that. But it made no sense. And I think that
there was a much bigger strategy at play here by morons but
absolute morons. I'm looking at you. Blinken. I'm looking at the
Kagan's I'm looking at, you know, of course with the Kagan's
comes Newland Bohol, these neocon slash Neo liberals who
brought in Netanyahu to do part of their dirty work, because the
one thing we forgot is an August, there was an
announcement that was made that was completed just this past
week.
Unknown: The BRICS group of emerging countries on Monday
officially welcomed five new members to its ranks Saudi
Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Ethiopia were
invited to join the group in August 2023. At the 15 BRICS
summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. Argentina was also
invited but backed out at the end of December BRICS is a group
was created in 2006 by Brazil, Russia, India and China with
South Africa, joining in 2010 has become an important platform
for cooperation among emerging markets and developing
countries. newly expanded BRICS has a combined economy worth
over $28.5 trillion, were about 28% of the global economy. On
January 1, Russia took over the BRICS chairmanship from South
Africa.
Adam Curry: Okay, so Putin is now running the bricks and the
bricks didn't matter until the bricks mattered. And why does it
matter? Because Egypt and Saudi Arabia jump into this BRICS
thing and it was already you know, they had been invited.
LCC, who has now been reelected for his third term, with an
unbelievable 90% of the vote because that's not rigged. No
one likes LCC in the West, this guy's no good. They don't like
that he's a part of breaks, he obviously controls the Suez
Canal. So let's go to let's go to Paki Sharma, who used to be
on Wi Fi on and now she's on first post or whatever, but she
still does good stuff. And let's let's get so we had this
operation solidarity, do whatever we say in the Red Sea
Group that we were running. And everyone's like, yeah, I don't
think so. Especially Saudi Arabia, who are supposed to be
our buddies, that
Unknown: NC coalition has two major problems. One it's taking
time, the White House says more warships will enter the Red
Seas. But the question is, when
there's gonna be a whole lot of hardware in the Red Sea now
enable hardware, not just from the United States, but other
chips and other chips from other nations to counter these
threats. So let's see where it goes. I mean, it's up and
running.
Now. Let's see where it goes is not a sound strategy. It doesn't
scream confidence. Which brings us to the second problem that
participation. It's called the Red Sea coalition. But how many
red sea countries are part of it? No. The only Arab member is
Bahrain. No, Saudi Arabia, no UAE, not even Egypt, which runs
the Suez Canal, that the UAE is understandable. It was to us is
the Persian Gulf, so the Red Sea is not as consequential for
them. But what about Saudi Arabia? Around 36% of its
imports come through the Red Sea? It's more than hub Jeddah
is located along the coast. So why hasn't Riyadh joined?
Officially there is no reason but looks like two factors
influenced the kingdom's decision. Factor Number one is
Iran, Riyadh and Tehran signed a peace deal this year they
decided to normalize relations. So the long Time rivalry is on
pause. But joining the Red Sea coalition could have changed
that Iran has questioned this 10 nation force. They say it will
soon face quote unquote, problems. Libya did not want to
risk. Factor Number two is the Houthis themselves. They're
fighting a civil war in Yemen. On the opposite side is the
Saudi backed government. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
started this war. But looks like he's had enough. He's looking
for an exit in September, Riyadh hosted the Houthi delegation. It
said the talks were positive. So there is hope it's a clean
withdrawal. But if MBS joins the coalition, maybe not.
Adam Curry: So that was brokered by also China was involved in
that deal. So and we talked about it briefly, because all of
a sudden, the Civil War ended and Saudi Arabia is like, yeah,
we're not fighting in Yemen anymore. It's all good. These
guys all joined the BRICs. And and they're trading oil in local
currencies. And I think they're like, You know what, screw these
guys. We have 27 trillion now we got Putin running our show.
Clearly, the West has not been successful in bleeding Russia
dry by kicking them off swift by the Ukraine war. And when you
kick Russia off swift all I'm sure everyone went on, these
guys might kick us off. So it didn't matter until it mattered,
and they grew big enough. And now they have some power. And of
course, China's in there, so they have their
Unknown: own priorities, like economic diversification,
building futuristic cities, or even preparing for the FIFA
World Cup in 2034. And for that MBS needs peace. It's a tough
balance, because he cannot walk away from the US Alliance or the
Red Sea. Even China is spooked. Around 60% of China's exports to
Europe go through the Red Sea. So Beijing says civilian ships
must be protected, they
will guide the changeover for China has always advocated
safeguarding the security of international waterways and the
post acts of harassing civilian vessels.
We believe that all the parties, especially the major countries
with influence, should play a constructive and responsible
role in ensuring the security of the red sea water is food. That
statement could be important. China has close ties to Iran,
and Iran basically controls the Houthis. So Beijing could pull
some strings. It's a question of how far the Houthis are willing
to push. They know that America is reluctant to escalate. They
know the Saudis a half hearted. So the Houthis basically hold
all the cards imagine that ragtag group of militants are
holding trillions of dollars hostage, imagine
Adam Curry: that. So please, everyone, go to Red sea.no
agenda notes.com. Just so we all look at the map for a second, we
need to look at this map. So you understand. This is my Fireside
Chat moment, Red sea.no agenda notes.com. And you can see where
all of these countries are. And you can see where where the US
has its strongholds. And you can start to understand that we
really don't control anything at this point. But we saw this
coming was I say we that's the West that mainly the stupid
idiots, the neocon nut jobs who are running everything since
they kick Trump out. And now we go to Al Jazeera. And we have a
war monger on their ex Pentagon guy, whatever. And he kind of
lays it out what the what the issue is, and that will focus us
on what's happening with Israel and Hamas. While we're in
Palestine, we're all chanting, and we're all upset and we're
all choosing sides. It's much bigger than that
Unknown: the Pentagon says more than 20 countries have agreed to
participate in a US led coalition in the Red Sea to stop
Houthi attacks. The Red Sea is one of the world's most
important shipping routes for oil and gas between Asia and
Europe and the south and now about a month IPS trade between
Africa and the Arabian Peninsula connects the Red Sea with the
Gulf of Aden. 1% of the world's trade and 10% of global oil
carried by ships goes through the Strait Suez Canal connects
the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea. That is the
shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia. 15% of the
world's maritime traffic passes through the Suez Canal. Since
November, the Houthis have targeted vessels nearby and
mundum. Forcing major shipping and oil companies to suspend
operations through the Red Sea rerouted vessels will have to
make a longer journey all the way down the east coast of
Africa via the southern tip of the continent.
Adam Curry: Alright, so that's the intro now the Pentagon
douche will actually lift a little bit of the veil as to
what the strategy was here, which I believe goes back to a
purposeful invasion. And there's Alex Jones will be the first to
say that Israel, Kermit created Hamas, and I'm kind of on board
with that now. Because when you hear what the strategy really
was, which was to squeeze Egypt, it starts to make sense that
there's some real fear about the petro dollars weakness against
All these oil countries that are now in BRICS just added this
past week, we're all joining together and are going to,
generally they're going to withdraw from the US dollar and
from our rules based order. But
Unknown: David de Roche is a professor at the National
Defense University and former Pentagon director of Arabian
Peninsula Affairs, and he's joining us on Skype from
Washington, DC, very good to have you with us on Al Jazeera.
Listen to rush, we've had a number I think 12 of some of the
world's biggest shipping companies are no longer taking
this route. British oil giant British Petroleum, also isn't
they made that decision before the US form this task force. And
since it's been formed, none of them have started using the
route again. Yeah, that's
right. So you know, capital is, is cowardly. And I think that,
you know, it makes sense to avoid an area where there's a
threat to see what happens and see how it takes hold. So I
would expect it to take, you know, some time before
procedures are established. And before there's a level of
confidence. I mean, bear in mind, these are unarmed
commercial ships that are being attacked with weapons of war, in
time of peace, that is a war crime. And they're of nations,
they're flagged and crude, and owned by nations that have no
connection with the conflict at all. So it's going to take a
while to figure out what the capabilities are. These guys
want risk. But the big loser here is Egypt, which is going to
lose 30% of its hard currency assets from Suez Canal
transit fees. This is closed Yeah. And yet Egypt is not
joining the task force and the Houthis are saying that they are
only targeting vessels that are in any way linked to Israel.
Adam Curry: So that appears to me to have always been the
strategy is to squeeze Egypt into not joining the BRICS into
being to listening to what we have to say. And before I get to
the payoff, there's one more clip here, which is Somalia, who
also joined Brix, and what is Somalia doing? They're going to
set up a base right down there right near Djibouti, in this
illegal republic of Soma. I'm sorry, Ethiopia joined the
BRICs. And they're going to set up a base right underneath
Djibouti, which is supposed to be our spot. And in the illegal
or unrecognized republic of Somaliland,
Unknown: the world's most populous landlocked nation wants
access to the sea. And Ethiopia is now pinning its hopes on an
agreement with Somaliland.
But similar to Mr. Cohen dhimmis, well, this will
be the starting point for our cooperation with the people of
Somaliland gotta grow and develop together young men
cooperation and to ensure common security.
But, I mean, Dennis, I know,
Ethiopia says the memorandum will allow it to use the port of
berbera on the Gulf of Aden to establish a military base,
paving the way for commercial operations. So
Adam Curry: that's the that's the setup right there. And of
course, Victoria Nuland was in Somalia, just a few months ago,
trying to talk them out of doing that, oh, Ethiopia, trying to
talk them out of doing this. And Ethiopia went, Yeah, okay. We
won't go through Somalia, we go through Somali land, and set up
a base whose base is not going to be the Ethiopian base. We
know exactly. It's going to be the whole region is going to be
bricks land. So I believe the strategy was to get Hamas to
create this atrocity that maybe wasn't even intended to be this
bad, but they did it anyway. That's what went down. But now
they want to kick them out. Israel wants to kick the
Palestinians out. The whole point has been kick them out, go
to Egypt, go to Egypt, go to Egypt, Egypt saying nope, nope,
we don't want him. And there's reasons why. And I could have
just given you this, but the Y minutes guy on YouTube did it so
beautifully. I'm just going to play his explanation in clips.
Why aren't
Unknown: more Arab countries in the Middle East taking in
Palestinian refugees. The onset of a renewed war between Israel
and Hamas has led to fears that millions of Palestinian people
living in the Gaza Strip may be forced to become refugees. But
despite the fact that Gaza shares a border with Egypt, the
Egyptian Government almost immediately ruled out any
possibility of accepting Palestinian refugees. In fact,
Egypt is currently constructing an even larger border wall with
Gaza than the one it currently has in place. Now, many outside
observers have asked why Egypt, a majority Arab and Islamic
nation would turn away the Palestinian people. And of
course, many have pointed out that it may serve the political
interest of many Arab nations to refuse to accept Palestinian
refugees, because it allows them to then blame Israel for any
sort of humanitarian crisis that unfolds. But the thing is,
historically, many Arab nations have accepted Palestinian
refugees. And that may be why Egypt doesn't want to now
Adam Curry: so this is a little bit of a history lesson every
single time countries in the Middle East incepted Palestinian
refugees, bad things happened. It started in Kuwait. I'm pretty
sure this was our doing as well. decades
Unknown: earlier, the Palestinian groups operating in
Jordan had come to openly call for the overthrow of Jordans
monarchy in the aftermath of the Six Day War. At the time the PLO
maintain its own separate army on Jordanian soil and use that
armed force to sorry I
Adam Curry: misplaced the order Jordan first. So chaos armed
Unknown: gangs of PLO militants drove around the capital of
Amman, robbing families and businesses in the name of
collecting financial assistance for the ongoing war of attrition
against Israel when members of the Jordanian police and army
tried to defend their citizens from these attacks. They were
attacked and killed the Palestinian political network
operate as a state within a state with militants repeatedly
using Jordan to launch rockets into Israel. The Marxist
Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine even
went so far as to hijack multiple planes, diverting the
flights to a Palestinian controlled airfield in Jordan,
where the passengers were held hostage by September 1970. The
Jordanian army had finally had enough, a full scale war with
the PLO broke out and after 10 months of fighting, the
Palestinians were driven out of the country yet as a parting
gift, a Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September,
assassinated the Jordanian Prime Minister.
Adam Curry: Now we move forward a few decades to Kuwait decades
earlier, the Palestinian
Unknown: groups operating in Jordan had come to openly call
for the overthrow of Jordans monarchy in the aftermath. Wait
a
Adam Curry: minute, I'm sorry. This is I want to say I taped
his show where it is here this low and here it is. Here it is.
For
Unknown: example, in 1991, the Kuwaiti government actually
expelled nearly 300,000 Palestinians in the aftermath of
the first Gulf War, and this represented an astonishing 18%
of Kuwait's entire population. So what was the reason? Well,
the Palestinian Liberation Organization had actually
supported Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait a year
earlier. And this support only grew after Iraq began attacking
Israel with rockets throughout the war. After Kuwait's
liberation, the government considered much of the
Palestinian community to be complicit in the Iraqi
occupation of their country. And in response, nearly all
Palestinians were deported and just a few months to get
Adam Curry: out, and then finally, Lebanon. Sadly,
Unknown: the story doesn't end there, because the PLO then
moved into Lebanon, where they allied themselves with Marxist
and socialist movements that were seeking to overthrow
Lebanon conservative Maronite Christian government, the
presence of 1000s of Palestinian militants flooding into the
country, completely destabilized Lebanon and plunged the entire
nation into chaos. Less than four years after the PLO was
expelled from Jordan, Lebanon found itself in the middle of
one of the most bloody and chaotic civil wars in Middle
Eastern history from which it is never fully recovered. In short,
Palestinian organizations have not just attacked Israel, they
have sowed unrest in many of the neighboring Arab and Muslim
countries as well. And this has led those governments to the
conclusion that allowing for mass immigration or even just
refugee camp resettlement within their borders would lead to
domestic unrest for their own countries.
Adam Curry: This is why nobody wants the Palestinians and this
is by the
John C Dvorak: way, yes. What should have been added to that
is the Palestinian protests in this country? Yes.
Adam Curry: Yes. Exactly. color revolutions right here. It
because so because they got so desperate that the IMF through
Bibi Netanyahu, in December, offered debt relief to Egypt in
exchange for taking the Palestinians. Hey, you know, you
guys have got a lot of debt. And yeah, it's a problem. And, you
know, why don't you take this Palestinians, we can probably
get you some debt relief, this backfired. Egypt is gonna
weather the storm. LCC got reelected. He's like, No, I
don't trust in you guys. And I think besides the West, the US
Britain because Britain is part of, you know, they really do all
the shipping, they insure all the shipping. We're douchebags
we try, we tried to squeeze them, and they're not gonna
they're not gonna stand for it. And this was set up. This is
what, in my mind, this is what October 7 was all about. And
everything else is distraction. And it's working very well,
because we're all yelling about which side whose genocide is
worse. And then you have just this massive corridor. Now, what
can we do that the Houthis are not blocking any chips that are
part of bricks, they're only brought blocking ours and I
think that initially, the idea was, Oh, we're gonna screw Egypt
board and we're not gonna go no more fees because it's like $9
billion a year. And they have nothing in Egypt. They have to
import food, everything that will will squeeze these guys and
I guess they got enough from from China and probably from
Russia now in charge of the whole coalition, that they went,
you know, we're gonna whether we're going to stick it out. And
I don't mean yet to be careful because a cat driven into a
corner can make weird jumps. That's another touches and for
you. Um, you know, someone could do something really stupid. But
I think this was always the idea. This was the hegemony of
the US petro dollar trying desperately to break the BRICS
coalition and it failed. And now everyone's screwed. That's my
story. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, I don't know if everyone screwed because
the BRICS coalition is just going to be dominated by China's
going to fall apart.
Adam Curry: I wouldn't count on it. I mean, that's, that's what
people have been saying since it was started. What 2005?
John C Dvorak: Really, it hasn't really done much. But this is
new. They just added these countries. This desperation.
Adam Curry: I'm at the desperation was October 7. That
was the desperate move.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think, yeah, I can see the desperate
move being October 7, as a or I can see that as being a
desperate move amongst other desperate moves. But it was a
you know, what they're trying now is poorly poorly. It was a
bad idea. Now. Now
Adam Curry: they're trying to get the refugees to be accepted
by the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Congo, you don't want
that, to imagine what that will do for for battery prices and
everything if they succeed at that.
John C Dvorak: That's interesting. I haven't didn't
catch that.
Adam Curry: Now that just came out.
John C Dvorak: Let me see that the same as like the British
trying to move all their immigrants to Rwanda, I would
say so. Yeah. It's an interesting idea. Well,
Adam Curry: it's it's just starting now is just kind of
starting this news. It came out I think, yesterday, and people
are starting to hear about it. Yeah, they've had some backroom
conversation. Well, why don't you guys think, what do they
move? Are they moving their strategy or I don't know what
they're trying to do. But sadly, for innocent Palestinian people
who keep electing douchebags, they know you're not wanted. And
this is why and what gets me is how easily everybody fell for
the programming. While we literally have the Palestinian
protests doing what they've done in all these other countries, be
careful.
John C Dvorak: Add me curry.com. Yes, please. Have one last clip
that says migrant story. I'm not sure what this is. Okay.
Unknown: A new year and a new set of buses carrying in
migrants to various cities. This
Adam Curry: kind of like just wrapping us from one end to the
end you you want to this is about our our migration. Yeah, I
guess, a
Unknown: new year and a new set of buses carrying migrants to
various cities across the US. This weekend. 350 asylum seekers
flown in from the southern border boarded buses to Chicago
after landing in Rockford, Illinois. Their transportation
north, arranged by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Chicago
Mayor Brandon Johnson said on Face The Nation, city officials
were given no notice
the road buses that are being dropped off across this country
in the middle of the night, leaving people with with no real
support at all. No coordination with the local municipalities.
That type of chaos is is certainly divided in our
country.
Chicago is just one city dealing with the influx and now cracking
down on buses, bringing in migrants without advance notice.
Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams issued an emergency
order to restrict bus arrivals. But that hasn't stopped busloads
of migrants now being dropped off at train stations in New
Jersey with easy access to the city. Adam says the migrant
crisis will cost New York $12 billion by 2025. All this comes
as the US Border Patrol manages a record migrant surge agents
are processing a quarter million new arrivals each month in
December hitting an all time high of 300,000 migrants
were full.
Don't come. CBS News has learned that the White House is open to
immigration reforms, including an authority to expel migrants
and suspend the asylum law in exchange for aid for Ukraine.
Start deporting people here who should be you know deported,
then you'll turn things around pretty quickly.
Adam Curry: You know, it's so bad in Texas. Little
Fredericksburg had someone murdered
John C Dvorak: two days ago, the murder capital of Texas
Adam Curry: that mean and it was you know a drug deal related,
and the guy comes into a store. And the guy working the store
was probably dealing drugs and it's, it's all immigrant related
boom shot. That doesn't happen often and little Fredericksburg
John C Dvorak: doesn't happen in most little to no,
Adam Curry: none of this is none of this is good. But you know,
luckily, now, you know with this HR too and when that becomes
legislation, then part of the bill will be that you can be
stopped and asked for your papers if you're suspected of
being an illegal immigrant. So that's, that's a that's a I have
an issue with that. Because you know, I don't want people you
can't just be stopping people in America. So show me your papers.
You have to have some you
John C Dvorak: gotta have the right drum and X probable cause.
Don't kill me. No, don't do a pass papers.
Adam Curry: Our German listeners are already traumatized enough
or not. Anyway, here was the beautiful story of the past
week, which of course also everyone distracted jumping up
in joy. Great, we're owning them. Six
Unknown: months into her 10 year Harvard University President
Claudine gay announced her resignation in a letter writing
it is in the best interest of the school so it can navigate
this moment of extraordinary challenge. This is difficult
work. Gays resignation comes nearly a month after she and the
President of the University of Pennsylvania and MIT faced
widespread condemnation following this testimony at a
house education hearing on anti semitism on college campuses.
The answer is yes. That calling for the genocide of Jews
violates Harvard Code of Conduct Correct.
Again, it depends on the context or republican share. Elise
Stefanik, a Harvard alum posted to down referring to gay and
Penn President Liz McGill, who also resigned days after the
hearing which Harvard Law student Jonathan Frieden
attended.
There's a lot of people and a lot of Jewish students who do
this as as a good thing as a victory is a step in the right
direction. And then there's a lot of us that are also asking,
but what next gay
was the university's first black president, she was criticized by
many in the Jewish community for her response to anti semitism on
campus after the Hamas attacks in Israel. She faced more
scrutiny from some donors and conservative activist following
allegations of plagiarism in her dissertation and several
articles, which she denied. She wrote, it has been distressing
to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate
and to upholding scholarly rigor and frightening to be subjected
to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus This
Adam Curry: is higher education being attacked by a mob rule. I
think it's something that we shouldn't be very wary of. You
know what I like about this moment, and I'm sorry, do you
wanna like about this season? This is the new term and when
you season, this season in our lifetime, what I like about this
season is the unveiling of all the evil and the corruption. And
I think it kind of started with Trump with fake news. And then,
you know, just all the stuff that he was yelling about, and
now, you know, the COVID stuff, it's being unveiled people are
starting to understand slow and not everyone can actually commit
to saying, oh, man, we got scammed.
John C Dvorak: Most people are credulous, yeah, by and
everything, but
Adam Curry: even this type, so she had to resign, people are
starting to realize how scammy everything is she didn't
John C Dvorak: totally resign. She's still in the faculty
making $900,000 as they like to endlessly point out,
Adam Curry: you will doubt that's that's part that's part
of what we need is we need more things to argue about.
John C Dvorak: And they but my favorite thing during this whole
thing, is the changing of the word plagiarism to duplicative.
Adam Curry: Yes, we know when you change language like that
bad things happen in this season. Now, it was kind of
interesting, the daily wire had undercover video of porn. I
didn't get the audio because it's always undercover audio was
so bad. Of Pornhub employees. saying yeah, you know, we inject
trans and gay stuff in there, too. Just in case somebody wants
to convert his all programs.
John C Dvorak: Last case somebody Yes.
Adam Curry: Because I mean, can you imagine if you're a young
boy and just go in there to walk off to some chicks, you know,
you might actually have deeper feelings you don't know about so
we'd like to add No, put some buy and gay and trans stuff in
there. It's all programming and people I like I like that people
are starting to learn about this. It takes years for the
general population to start to figure stuff wake
John C Dvorak: up. Yeah, it
Adam Curry: takes five PayPal takes 567 years but it's
happening. It's happening. Well, you're
John C Dvorak: the optimist today.
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, I mean, no thanks to the stupid memes I
know agenda social but otherwise, it's happening. It
really is like here's another good one.
Unknown: New law in California now requires major retailers to
have gender neutral toy aisles. Governor Gavin Newsom signing
that legislation into law. Going into effect yesterday. It
applies to applies to retailers that have a physical store in
the state. That sounds child care items or toys. They also
have to have at least 500 employees stores that do not
comply will face a monetary fine.
John C Dvorak: I love that. Before you get off the track too
much. I do want to play this clip. This is a clip again from
N TDs and TD de and this is the Harvard this is a discussion
about the Harvard president that woman but instead of having your
average jokers on you know the Brooks and shields let's have
some Jewish guy on
Unknown: all right reactions are coming in after Harvard
President Claudine gay resigned. Joining us now to share his
thoughts on the news and comments on American higher
education. We have Rabbi Abraham Cooper, He chairs the US
Commission on International Religious Freedom. And as
Associate Dean at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, our wise
cutting gate has resigned. This is following backlash on both
allegations of plagiarism and also her testimony and anti
semitism. She is however, staying on as faculty, what is
your reaction to all of this?
Well, my first reaction to her resignation was it should have
happened immediately. When she said those words were suddenly
the issue of genocide was a matter of context and when the
potential victim are Jews. I think that only Jews recoiled in
horror. On the other hand, when you read her statement, it's
sort of an indictment. She thinks of the system, that she's
the victim of racism, I think I would tend to identify with
those who say that she wasn't a victim of racism, I think she
was placed in the possession of President as president because
Harvard perceives this will be the best way to go to go
forward. And not necessarily based on academic credentials.
She should have been gone immediately. And we'll see you
know how long she'll stay on in terms of being a professor.
Because the second issue which I'm not an expert on,
thankfully, the plagiarism, you know, that's something that each
university has to deal with. And it'll I think, would be
difficult for someone to stay on long range when you have that
kind of cloud that's hanging over you.
Adam Curry: Did you ever look into the plagiarism stuff?
John C Dvorak: I haven't found any specific examples, but I did
hear an interview from one of the women, a black author who
runs plagiarize, plagiarize, right. And she went on and on
about this being abhorrent because of the backing that the
woman got for the plagiarism and that's when they came up with
the word duplicative. Yeah, they cheated. She didn't do the
quoting right. She didn't do the attributions right she didn't do
these things right. Which is ludicrous if you're an academic.
If you're an academic and you're writing academic stuff, you you
do you do the citations you don't take credit the problem
with plagiarism is you're taking credit stolen by the way you
used to work for somebody else's ideas, Stolen Valor, Stolen
Valor, and I don't have the specific examples but this woman
is claims that were 50 or 60 examples and she says the race
entities wouldn't be black and make the assertion that the
racism thing was bowl crap. And
Adam Curry: then of course we're all distracted here by the
argument now well the the replacement president has to be
black and a woman that's got a lot let's get to transition
that'd be even be better. be fantastic.
John C Dvorak: Actually, there wouldn't be better
Adam Curry: and I think this is another part of the big
unveiling you know, but oh yeah, this higher education is bogus.
It's a bunch of douchebags running the show. It's too
expensive. You don't get anything for it except vino
debt, which you now have to actually pay back so there's
another one Joe didn't fulfill
John C Dvorak: well with some people he did some people with
some have gotten out from under. Now
Adam Curry: there's been some of that but not not. You can't take
credit for it because you know, if anyone can't like hey, we did
that, because that was a cutie Josh. By the way, from the air
traffic control community community, you know, the anti
Israel pro Palestine protesters were at JFK Airport and they
were blocking that again in New York, and they launched a
balloon. And the air traffic control had to reconfigure
runways because it was the opposite this is this is highly
illegal.
John C Dvorak: It's a massive felony to do it. They did.
Adam Curry: Yes. And nothing. Nothing. Because there are
people afraid to, to go look at people look at Kuwait. Look at
Iraq. Look at Jordan, you're nuts. These people are no good.
They're not great. They're no good. No good. Anyway, just
spice things up. In the spook state. What is the spook state
in America?
John C Dvorak: What's the biggest spook state?
Adam Curry: Well, India? Well, no, I mean, the spook state
where all the Presidential spooks go.
John C Dvorak: Where, well, they'll end up in California
naturally, but Utah. Oh, boom.
Adam Curry: Yes, Utah always has the spook candidates. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's true. They always have a spook candidate.
Useless. One, two,
Unknown: what's the point Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially
filed enough signatures to make the 2024 presidential ballot in
Utah. It's the first state where he is qualified so far. Kennedy
is now running as an independent sparking questions about how he
might affect the general election outcome in November.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm sorry for Bobby. I
John C Dvorak: have the same clip. But instead of that, that
was from PBS. This is the one from NTD what is it? What does
it call our F K? Probably RFK.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, got it. Over
Unknown: in Utah Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Successfully qualified for the state's presidential ballot.
Kennedy's Press Secretary announced that he reached the
minimum threshold of 1000 signatures. Now he needs to
qualify in 50 more states. At a press conference in Utah on
Wednesday. He said some states refuse to cooperate.
Those are Maine, New Hampshire and North Dakota. This is
something that would never happen to a presidential
campaign from a major political parties. Kennedy
said the major political parties have an undemocratic lock on the
presidential process. If Kennedy succeeds in getting on all of
the state's ballots, he may qualify to get on the debate
stage for the general election and potentially take a
significant number of independent votes from the major
party candidates.
John C Dvorak: That key was the getting on the presidential
debate if they have one. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna have
one. Now.
Adam Curry: Another another unveiling. Do you think people
will notice? Hey, tip was what was different this year? No one
No one had to debate. It. Hasn't Biden already kind of said he's
not going to debate.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, bison are going to debate I
insurrectionist. I love the prot here's the problem. What
happened because of these corrupt elections of 2020,
including Arizona. Where were the candidate, the Republican
candidate Carrie Lake. Yeah. Wouldn't the Democrat wouldn't
debate her? They never had a debate. All right. She never
stepped out of her basement just the way Biden did. And she won.
So now I was looking at wrestling. Why should we have
debates? I
Adam Curry: mean, Biden doesn't even sit in the oval office
anymore. Isn't that TV studio?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, most of the time.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's all fake. And I Yes, I'm optimistic.
I feel that there's a great unveiling and people are
starting their eyes. They're using the eyes to see and their
ears to hear, slowly, slowly, but we have to be careful
because you know how many emails I don't know. I get a lot of
emails. You're on the wrong side of history curry.
John C Dvorak: View. He's not on any side of history. We're doing
a podcast.
Adam Curry: You're a Zionist curry. Yeah, you protecting
John C Dvorak: us. You're protecting
Adam Curry: the Zionist basket. It was the same thing. We took
flack for climate change. Oh my god, how much flak to be taken.
John C Dvorak: We took about a year or twos worth of flack for
people were leaving.
Adam Curry: I can't listen to you. You don't care about the
Earth.
John C Dvorak: This a good one. There's still one or two people
that feel
Adam Curry: that way. And then it was COVID Your whole anti
Vaxxer horrible person. There's people who showed up and found
solace and comfort in our COVID coverage, who are now going I
can't listen to the show with all the oh the protectionism of
Israel. What are you talking about men? And I always say It's
okay please go away come back I welcome you with open arms. No
no. No
John C Dvorak: hard feelings other cheek man is another cheek
guy now.
Adam Curry: I'm totally another cheek guy. I forgive everyone
who says these things I have given up my right to be
offended.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, okay.
Unknown: Police investigating after a series of bomb threats
made against six state capitals nationwide. It started with a
bomb threat emailed to the state capitol
Adam Curry: Hold on a second. A bomb threat e Muhammad don't
they get emails all the time like this. But now all of a
sudden as well breaking news
Unknown: bomb threat emailed to the state capitol in Atlanta,
Georgia. Then there were similar threats in Michigan,
Mississippi, Kentucky, Montana and Maine. chapels were
evacuated. No explosives were found in Michigan. The Capitol
Building was close to the rest of the day as a precaution.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: and a 13 year old was caught giggling after the
fact.
Adam Curry: Yeah, because the 13 year old sent the email. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it had to be Yeah. Well, I have a wow story
had the wild clip for the day. Oh, okay. Because I just found
this to be wild
Unknown: holed up alone in a tent Jeep in these frigid Utah
mountains. Tonight a Chinese foreign exchange student has
been found safe after police say he became the victim of a
suspected cyber kidnapping scam.
He was cold, scared and relieved when we found out his family
in China said they had received a photograph of their son
indicating he was abducted and that they had sent roughly
$80,000 to bank accounts in China as a ransom. Please
believe Kai's virtual kidnappers are in China and had been
manipulating him for weeks threatening to hurt his family
as part of the disturbing scam. They say victims like hi are
ordered to isolate then monitored via FaceTime or Skype
and coerced into taking photos of themselves to make it appear.
They're being held captive authority say if you or your
family are ever threatened, go right to police don't send money
and stop all contact with suspects.
John C Dvorak: I thought this was the most unique scam.
imaginable imaginable. Because I've not heard of this sort of
thing before you talk somebody into basically kidnapping
themselves. That's
Adam Curry: the best part. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And then you show that people that you're trying
to get the money from the fact that he's kidnapped, but he's
not really. I mean, this is like this is way beyond the Oh, you
have to run over and get a gift card to pay your IRS taxes,
which is a real gem that people have fallen for.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I want to say something about this because
somebody I helped someone just earlier this week, who had
fallen scam to I suspect pig butcher. It was It was
unbelievable to see. But re-explained Pig butcher case.
So if you've received a text that says hey, I have your
number in my phone, but I forget what your name again, or I know
we met or Hey, you want to go play tennis today. And usually
it's going to be a hot Asian chick, typically, then she'll
send a photo pretty quickly. We've actually, we've actually
tried to get them to talk on the show, and then they hung up. And
this is a long game. The long game is that this woman will go
back at bat and so it's always like, what's your name? It's
like Lisa or Tiffany or it's all kind of the Elaine's Tiffany I
think it's Tiffany always classic, always kind of the same
name and it'll go on for and it's all it's all from China and
then it will go on for a long time and she'll be showing you
all the you know her cars yeah her her expensive wines and they
said Oh, but I do this all with crypto trading you know as a
Bitcoin Don't you know and then be Oh, so you'll wind up exactly
getting a gift card or using your debit card. Not credit card
but debit card, and you'll be sending money to a website that
looks like an actual trading platform. And you will get 10x
This is what happened to this this person. And it went from
45,000 That's the amount that that went in, believe it or not.
And it was $433,000 Within only three months like it's amazing.
This Bitcoin thing is crazy, although Bitcoin hasn't gone up
10x And then of course, you know, you realize eventually
that you've been scammed and that this is this there's no way
to get your money out. Your money is gone. It was never in
there your money was taken long ago. Then they may even try to
get as long as they can keep you from wanting to withdraw the
money. Then you'll keep putting it in. At the end. It looks like
you're winning. You're winning. This is fant I can't believe it.
I'm winning this is so great. Then it can become very
elaborate. And then the either eventually you're screwed out of
out of lots of lots of money. And I wanted to say that as the
no agenda community, we are very well trained on language. I
mean, when you get an email, the firt, you already you can
identify the scam just by a misspelling, weird grammar, then
there's obviously mouse over the email address, you know, what is
what is his email address?
John C Dvorak: What is the what is what is this,
Adam Curry: you know, this that all kinds of weird stuff, you
know, minutes. And you know, a classic is your credit cards
about to expire for your Netflix, all these things. And
it were to text message. But I think what happens is people
often are so embarrassed that they and this might have
happened to this particular person, that you've just kind of
the keep going in the scam. And you're embarrassed to tell
anybody that I think this is a scam, but I'm not sure,
particularly older people. So if there are any, it
John C Dvorak: is embarrassing, because it's like you have all
this worldly experience. And you got caught by some punks. Yeah,
this stupid scam that just was too good. To be too good to be
true to be true. Use the phrase. Yes. Yeah.
Adam Curry: But particularly for if you have any older people
around you, you're checking on him checking.
John C Dvorak: By the way, this pretty girls is always a good
lure, even though it's probably some dude. There's a bunch of
things that I ran into this myself, by the way, on LinkedIn.
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sure that's a prime place for for for
scamming dudes. What happened? Tell us the story.
John C Dvorak: So there's some pretty girl sending me these
notes. And I was thinking what is Who is this idiot? And so I
looked at her and I did a little research because she did give
enough away that there are other examples. Other people other
names within all on LinkedIn, I should turn these people in.
Yeah, they're all on LinkedIn. All of them from the same
company. And a girl's head in her photo is the same as five
other women.
Adam Curry: Wow. Well, that's an outrage. It's an
John C Dvorak: outrage. And
Adam Curry: yeah, this is everywhere. This these Yeah. And
John C Dvorak: it's just it's annoying. And it's insulting.
And you know, it's some dude.
Adam Curry: Now, were you on your female profile or your mark
talking to
John C Dvorak: you know, my female profile, which was a gem.
I kind of abandoned it because everybody I know they'd write
this poor girl it would do was me it was with a fake head.
phony baloney bio, and they'd write asking her out and it was
like, Dude, I know who you are. You're asking this phony person
out. It was terrible. If I you know, I spilled the beans on
these guys that would be humiliated
Adam Curry: as to say, it's, it's borderline very creepy.
What you were doing.
John C Dvorak: Wasn't really interacting that much. I was it
was just it was like, they were just he was it was just
interesting. It's like, it's throw the line out there and you
don't do anything. You just let it sit. And you get a bite. And
it's just like, oh my god who's biting on this thing. This lure
is not even real. And you it's, it was great. It was It wasn't
meant to be creepy. There was some I have some reason for
doing it. Yeah, you're
Adam Curry: trying to spy on somebody? That's what you do.
And it used to be marked Wagner which kind of got out once you
gave that.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, once my pug knew that. That was in the
loose. That was that was
Adam Curry: a great was a great wild. That was a great alias
Mark part. And there's still I get Mark Pardner emails all the
time. Yeah. But you know, it's it's amazing how Tina tells me
this because you know, she still has her LinkedIn profile. She's
it's amazing. How many people hit on her. It's so creepy.
Dudes, just trolling LinkedIn to hit on the web. Once you put
because, you know, we do a podcast once you put in their
podcasts or oh, oh, my God says it got even worse.
John C Dvorak: got worse. Yes.
Adam Curry: Did it get worse of just more and more dudes hitting
on
John C Dvorak: her? Because she's a podcast? Yeah. Hot
podcast, or is that the deal? Well, that if you're a podcast,
or you're a hot podcaster and I don't see any women hitting on
me.
Adam Curry: You're not a hot podcaster Hello? Yes, no. Hello,
do you know, of course not. Women don't hit on men. Except
when it's a scam. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, that's for sure. Definitely. And people had
mentioned If men don't realize that by some point at some
point. Now, there was a funny thing in the Jeffrey Epstein
thing, which brought to mind, I guess. Stephen Hawking He ended
up on Epstein island a few times. And I guess he got a lot
of attention and I wanted to bring up something and I want
the parents to put away a push your kids aside because I'm
going to talk about a little aspect of this I close the close
those people realize that this this does take place is called a
novelty fuck. Oh, John. And there are people that just
attract novelty these women too, because it's like this part of a
clique. I did you get to Screw that guy. Yeah. And then they
talk about it. You know, Stephen Hawking would be one of the
probably a top drawer guide so far as that's concerned.
Adam Curry: And you'll recall when I was living in Los
Angeles, I once had dinner one table over from Stephen Hawking.
Remember that? Yeah, I remember. And his nurses were a hot
John C Dvorak: ya know, the guy was a horn dog. There's no doubt
about that.
Adam Curry: You blame you blame? No, I don't
John C Dvorak: blame him in the lease. Good for him the way I
see it. But yeah,
Adam Curry: you think that the guy who was that brilliant would
kind of be on to the whole Epstein scam. Or maybe he just
didn't care. Maybe he didn't care. I was like, I don't care.
He probably knew
John C Dvorak: he know he was onto it and said, Wow, here's an
opportunity for me who's gonna fault me for God's sake. Not
gonna condemn me as a creep.
Adam Curry: Let's get back to a more serious topic in this
season of our life. Climate change.
Unknown: Next tonight the rapid rise of respiratory care. Big
Pharma next night, the rapid rise of respiratory illnesses
across the US 31 states now reporting high or very high
levels of COVID flu or RSV, hospitals or states reinstating
those mass policies. Here's ABCs the DRO kendo,
Adam Curry: oh tonight,
Unknown: some major hospitals across the country are bringing
back indoor masking policies as respiratory illnesses surge.
The good news is that we have prevention for all three of
these big viruses. Right? Right. COVID, influenza and RSV and of
course that is vaccinated vaccine. According
to an ABC News count hospitals in California, Illinois,
Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington State and Wisconsin,
no masking 31 states plus Washington DC experiencing high
or very high levels of respiratory illness activity.
Sanaya Schuler in Arizona says her seven month old daughter Mae
Lonnie was in the hospital last month with RSV
when it comes to your child not being able to breathe
unnecessarily. I think it's like the most scariest thing you
could probably think of
flu diagnoses were up 16% the week ending December 23, the CDC
estimating 4500 Flu related deaths this season, and COVID-19
related hospitalizations are at their highest in a year. Dr.
Stress, it's important to be mindful of those who are at
higher risk and see more mask mandates or recommendations
could return or just trying
to be good citizens and keep our people or keep our friends who
you know we care about from coming down with an illness.
And experts say this time of year with holiday travel and
gatherings. A steady increase in respiratory illnesses is common
typically peaking in January and February. This year is no
exception.
Adam Curry: And how do we still buy into the masking stuff? How
do we still buy into it? People are getting mad at you people
aren't lying like no one's taking this seriously. We have
specialty because they're not masking. No one's saying we're
dying people are dying
Unknown: tonight. Some of the nation's top hospitals bringing
masks back as respiratory infections spread across the
country admissions
are up and folks are getting sick and getting admitted to the
hospital for things like COVID, influenza, and even RSV
sometimes, yeah,
in Wisconsin, a nearly 15% Jump in positive COVID tests. The
University of Wisconsin now requiring healthcare staff
patients and visitors to wear face coverings during all
patient interactions.
We are seeing an increase in number of patients admitted with
respiratory illnesses compared with the number of patients
admitted around Thanksgiving time. We're up about 1% 31
states
plus Washington DC seeing high or very high levels of
respiratory illnesses, including COVID, RSV, the flu and the
common cold. Flu hospitalizations were up nearly
50% In the last week, the CDC estimating 4500 Flu related
deaths this season alone with the number of infections growing
are likely growing in every state and COVID. Passport,
John C Dvorak: whatever 30,000
Adam Curry: Now that's common. It's good because not in
February, it's coming It's coming. We're gonna get to those
numbers. They're going to they're going to try they're
going to try something. Now this is like last gasp here we've got
three things you can die from people utilizations
Unknown: are out there hi So in a year, we
are holding some patients in the emergency room waiting a bit.
And I would say every hospital in the region is doing that in
the region because of just a, you know, just the amount of
sick people that we're seeing coming through the doors now.
It's crazy. All of this is millions coast to coast gathered
tonight for New Year celebrations.
I would just urge everybody to be mindful and to spread. Good
cheer this year, not viruses.
And keep in mind, winter just started will likely be seeing
even more infections in the coming weeks.
Adam Curry: I remember a time before COVID When people got
sick, it was go, we say, oh, it's going around. And you know
you and where's the where's Where's Bob? Die, he's got that
bug. He's home. And sometimes it will be a puking bug. Remember
those days? Oh, man. This is a dynamic flu. Yeah, the stomach
flu is is bad.
John C Dvorak: Just harkening back to that exact same period
that you're discussing. When was our as V ever ever mentioned, I
want to find a clip that we played on this show or RSV was
ever mentioned before the COVID crisis?
Adam Curry: Oh, I don't I don't think it ever will. You won't
find it. No, I don't I don't think it ever was.
John C Dvorak: So why did that change? Because they
Adam Curry: have a vaccine. If you have if you have a hammer,
you gotta go find some nails. Hello. That's easy. Now, I'm
actually going to I'm looking at being a.io. Maybe the trolls can
help out because there's so much RSV in the lot. No, I don't have
really it's I'm still in the 1500s the I don't think there
was ever anything about RSP. But that, but that's beside the
point. Yeah, it used to be like, Oh, it's going around a demand.
We only this 10 people out this week. Yes, that bug. But when
you add fear to it, and you add a weakening of the immune system
with these god awful vaccines, which I think are they now all
mRNA based
John C Dvorak: a little bit a lot of them are Yeah, you know,
it's like
Adam Curry: Hello, get a clue. It's
John C Dvorak: not a vaccine. Now you're the old definition
gene therapy.
Adam Curry: So now but them but I just I remember you said this
is a bad flu season, man. Yeah, it's bad. I remember this. I
remember at school as a kid. Yeah, I was snoring and
sniffling. And then the flute and the stomach flu and can be
puking. And we will run off to the hospital. Hey, Billy's mom
can't come pick him up. He's sick. That's what it used to be.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I remember that. Of course.
Adam Curry: We also didn't have peanut allergies. No, em, we
also are eating garbage. Like we have a new diet is called the
garbage for diet. Which is eating garbage processed food
junk. No one cares anymore. You know why? Because Epstein's list
Epstein's list,
Unknown: New Year new concerns about a spike in COVID cases,
our volume has really surged. I attribute that to not just COVID
but influenza RSV I'm not seeing as many people fully immunized
as in past years for flu for COVID boosters, and so it makes
them much more vulnerable.
The rise in infections has prompted at least five states to
reinstate masking requirements at health care facilities as the
new variant spreads across the country. Cases are up at least
25% in Los Angeles County, where emergency room physician Dr.
Anjali campin says she's happy to see the mask Mandy return
that really helps to protect the vulnerable people that are
sitting out there in the waiting room right now.
The CDC says the new COVID vaccine is the best tool to stay
protected against serious illness. But vaccination rates
are at an all time low. less than 20% of adults have received
the updated vaccine and denied there's also a growing number of
flu and RSV cases, with 31 states seeing high or very high
levels of respiratory infections, leading to worries
that a triple virus threat could strain the hospitals. Are you
concerned that these numbers will continue to get worse?
We're not at the peak yet. This winter. I'm still seeing numbers
increase. Right now. It seems like every other patient I'm
seeing in the emergency department is one of these
viruses. Here
in California. The first child flu death was recently announced
doctors saying it's not too late to get vaccinated for both the
flu and COVID to help protect your family get
Adam Curry: your backs Okay, the earliest the earliest mention of
RSV this is interesting is no agenda episode 1300. That was
December 3 of 2020. That's the earliest so we were already well
In the COVID Let's see here what it was. When
Unknown: it comes to upper lung, respiratory and paws RFK. Ferris
had a brilliant, robust and durable antibody response, but
then something horrible happened. And those ferrets are
challenged when they were exposed to the wild virus. They
got horribly sick, they got inflammation throughout their
bodies and they died. The scientists remembered at
something very similar had to happen in the 1960s where there
was where they had developed a vaccine for RSV, which is very
similar to Coronavirus. It's upper respiratory infection.
Aleman had skipped the animals and given them directly to 35
children and the children again and had developed a very robust
antibody response when those children were exposed to the
wild virus. He got very, very sick much sicker than
unvaccinated.
Adam Curry: Oh, what are the chances? What are the chances? I
bet you if you go look at this RSV vaccine, they might have
skipped the ferret test. What are the chances that kids who
have been vaccinated for RSV are getting sick from RSV oral
people for that matter? These people are sick. They don't care
about your health. They're
John C Dvorak: not doing the proper testing anymore. That's
obvious.
Adam Curry: No, no. And the FDA is they're just an extension of
them. No, the
John C Dvorak: FDA is corrupt. Well, it's as good as the CDC at
this point in our history. Yes. Yes, we just say it, they're
corrupt operations and they're they're just doing the bidding
of the big pharma companies are doing nothing more than making
as much money as they can on behalf of their shareholders,
which is what you're supposed to do. That's that's the agenda on
what to do by killing half the population.
Adam Curry: I think that that behooves other people. I think
they just find it great. I was like, Yeah, this just kill them
off. That's why we bring in more more illegals to compensate.
Have you ever seen the world in this much disarray in your in
your years?
John C Dvorak: Well, I mean, says that's all we study on this
show. No. But if I had been more aware of what was going on, and
studied it more like we do on this show, because we put a lot
of effort into these news stories and deconstructing them.
It has probably been this way the whole time.
Adam Curry: Oh, boy, you only used to care about phones.
Remember?
John C Dvorak: That's why Siri killed about phone. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: saved you from twit they save
John C Dvorak: his bitch about phones. He's reviewing every
stupid phone that comes out of Android phone is an Android
phone.
Adam Curry: Hello. bitching is caring. Yeah, it's a different
kind of care. I used to love watching you bitch and moan
about about phones on Twitter. That's when the show was great.
John C Dvorak: I am the professional pitcher moaner. Yes
Adam Curry: you are I got an idea. Let's do this. Now
Unknown: it's time for a three by three.
Experiment by JC D.
Adam Curry: Comparing stories okay, this is right, John's got
a couple of clips here just from the three networks. Will they
have the same script? Will they be getting their information
from the studio staff at the bogus Oval Office? Did they
collude? What is going on with our news?
John C Dvorak: Well we know all that is true. And here we go.
We're gonna have ABC, CBS and NBC all discussing the top Hamas
official killed.
Adam Curry: Ah yes,
John C Dvorak: yes in Lebanon and we'll start with ABC.
Unknown: Tonight a massive explosion rocking the Lebanese
capital Beirut chilling atop Hamas official video circulating
online showing the fiery scene of the blast and the Beirut
suburb of the here. A Hezbollah stronghold salam ala Ruri the
second in command of Hamas and a senior leader in the West Bank
among at least six people killed according to Lebanese
authorities. Lebanon state run news agency says Israel carried
out the attack which if confirmed, would mark a major
escalation and would be Israel's first attack on Beirut since
2006. Israel tonight declining to common but Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to kill a brewery
before the Israel Hamas war erupted on October 7. Today's
blast in Beirut follows weeks of cross border attacks in southern
Lebanon and northern Israel, between Hezbollah fighters, IDF
soldiers and David everyone bracing for retaliation from
Hamas and Hezbollah. And concern is high tonight that this war
could escalate into a wider conflict.
Adam Curry: Did you see that? Is the Hezbollah dude who has that?
Like that cricket bat stuck in his belt?
John C Dvorak: No.
Adam Curry: Yeah,
John C Dvorak: no, no recall a cricket bat.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well I'm sure it's a it looks like a paddle.
John C Dvorak: I think it's the maybe it's for his 40 wives.
Adam Curry: No, it's the weirdest thing this guy dude has
like it's like a cricket bat and the troll room tell me Is that
is that the Hummer? Is that that Hezbollah guy as bola guy. Let
me see.
John C Dvorak: I'm worried with NBC in the same report example.
Tonight the slavery
Unknown: of an apparent senior Hamas leader killed and what
Hamas says was an Israeli drone strike on a Hamas office in
Beirut. Salah Allah Rui was a deputy head of Hamas on a US
wanted list accused of involvement in multiple terror
attacks. Hamas saying seven people were killed in the strike
including two commanders. Israel won't say whether it was
responsible, but only one country is at war with Hamas,
these rebels. Whoever did this has has a gripe with from us.
Israel's military has vowed to hunt down Hamas leaders
worldwide, saying they're living on borrowed time following the
October 7 Hamas terror attacks that killed 1200 people. Tonight
as protests erupt in the West Bank, Israel is bracing for
potentially massive retaliation, not just from Hamas, but from
Hezbollah, another Iranian backed group allied with Hamas
that's also targeted Israel. Remember the new Israeli Foreign
Minister today declaring we're in the midst of World War Three
against Iran and radical Islam. The Assassination raising the
stakes for Israel's cabinet, which postponed that meeting to
discuss Israel's new plan for Gaza after the wars. and Israeli
officials telling NBC News the plan involves local Gazan clans
or tribes handling civilian governments like doling out aid,
while Israel control security indefinitely. This is Israel
singles The war is entering a new phase with 1000s of Israeli
troops on the way out of Gaza, even as Prime Minister Netanyahu
says the war will last many more months. Palestinian groups are
calling for more protests tomorrow over the assassination,
including in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
Adam Curry: I love how they had the same sirens
John C Dvorak: show they had done this report they did add a
little piece a couple of pieces of new information one of them
they're going to track down all the Hamas people worldwide,
which means they're going to probably go to Harvard.
So let's go to the fight the other one which is the last one
which is CBS which I every time does vary it enough. Let's see
if they have the siren at the beginning. And if it's
structured the same
Unknown: explosion Tuesday evening, killing seven Hamas
militants, including a top commander and founder of the
group's military wing, solid alo Rudy, a man wanted by the
Israelis and Americans, the US government had a nearly $5
million bounty on his head. Since Hamas is brutal attack on
October 7, Israel has been engaged on multiple fronts from
Lebanon to Yemen. Iranian backed Houthi rebels fire missiles and
drones toward Israel and are attacking commercial ships by
sea and air, threatening to disrupt the world's economy and
send oil prices soaring shipping giant Merce will now sail around
the horn of Africa to avoid the Red Sea heading 1000s of miles
to the journey. In recent days, the US Navy destroyed three
small Houthi boats attempting to board a container ship. In
response Iran says it sent a destroyer to the region.
Panelist Seema shine believes this is all part of a Ron's plan
to end the war in Gaza.
The other steps that might be done is to bring the US to put
pressure on Israel to stop and
they think by putting pressure on the United States and the
international shipping lanes they can achieve that objective.
It is one of the ways that they believe that might put pressure
on Israel to stop. Israeli
officials say the war could last throughout the year until Hamas
is destroyed. But many Palestinians wonder what price
they'll have to pay until the fighting ends. And tonight
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah condemned the
assassination of Ella Rory as a serious assault on Lebanon and
vowed that his killing will not go unpunished.
Adam Curry: They had an extra little effect there at the end
screaming woman that was the screaming woman NAT POP was
dynamite. Let me hear it again.
Unknown: Israeli officials say the war could last throughout
the year until Hamas is destroyed. But many Palestinians
wonder
Adam Curry: Nice nice. Yes a gem CBS man they're on top of that.
John C Dvorak: Well, the screaming woman effect is quite
quite as valuable. It's
Adam Curry: a it's a scary season in the region.
John C Dvorak: I wonder what the point of what the screaming
woman being placed at that spot in the report is supposed to
occur. completion these things are all done for a very specific
reason because
Adam Curry: by that it's almost near the end of the report
you're starting to zone out you need some the wake up call yeah
yeah very blood curdling scream yeah yeah we have our own
version of that plenty
John C Dvorak: of blood curdling screams Well, it was like the
same one
Adam Curry: let's go back and that was a goat
John C Dvorak: it was a goat that they were that was listen
let's let's
Adam Curry: moss is destroyed many Palestinians I think it was
a goat wasn't a lady I mean that that is exactly our goat screen
destroyed. Many same is
John C Dvorak: a little different. Not
Adam Curry: much. Not much. Not
John C Dvorak: much is very much but just a little. Request.
Don't do sound different. Did you do obviously it was a
Palestinian goat.
Adam Curry: It reminds me of this Adam mccurry.com Now John
dvorak.org No one can even spell Devorah Don't worry, I'm his
treat me like I'm John's intern. Go ahead. send me email. Hey,
man, John's black me black. He's black. Maybe you can send this
to him. I'm not okay. I'm not.
John C Dvorak: block anybody.
Adam Curry: Yeah, okay. I forgot this clip, which is important
because not only is the the gambits to ruin Egypt by sending
the Palestinians in an led by Hamas. But it's it Bibi is not
doing well tonight
Unknown: as Israel entered the New Year intercepting Hamas
missile fire at midnight. New signs the brutal war may be
entering its next phase. The idea of now withdrawing some
troops from Gaza to rest and prepare for the long fight
ahead. Israel now says it expects to last the entirety of
2024 and the defense minister today saying some residents in
southern Israeli communities about three miles from the Gaza
Strip can return home and mule. Our troops know their mission
and their performance is excellent he says so life will
return to its course in our Southern Communities. But the
life those communities wants new will never be the same never.
The Hamas run health ministry says an Israeli airstrike today
killed 15 People in central Gaza, bringing the Delta close
to 22,000. The IDF meanwhile expanding its operations,
releasing video of its canine unit searching for weapons,
explosives and Hamas operatives. They say they found this weapons
stockpile in a kindergarten while children in Gaza sharing
their New Year's wishes. I hope that we will return to our
homes, I'm all says and that the war will end and I will sleep on
my bed instead of sleeping in tents.
Oh, no. So much heartbreak now almost three months into this
war. Marcus Moore joins us now from Tel Aviv and mark as Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already facing pressure abroad
and at home over this war. And now his government hit with a
major setback.
Yeah, this setback is being seen as a major blow to Netanyahu. As
you know, he has been trying to weaken the country Supreme Court
justices, and that has really divided the country. We saw
massive protests over the summer. Well, today the court
narrowly voted to overturn a key part of that overhaul. And that
decision adds a whole new layer to the tensions that are already
gripping this country.
Adam Curry: I never understood how that could get changed
anyway, if if the Supreme Court in Israel can override any laws
written then how could you think that they would agree with some
law that would restrict their power to do that, and we have
John C Dvorak: to do a deeper dive I have had some I don't
know a couple of months ago, I did a fairly deep dive on this
and had some clips where we never played him. But this is
actually all stems back to some judge that went back in the 90s,
I think and he was kind of very famous. And he started
implementing all kinds of rules changes to make the Court, the
Supreme Leader for all practical purposes and very woke. And it's
become a huge roadblock for Netanyahu in any other
conservative that might try to run Israel.
Unknown: We'll get to it
John C Dvorak: again, but hey, Fred first I thought Well, this
was just a dumb idea. But then when I started looking into it
know that this Supreme Court in Israel is a is a roadblock to
progress. It's a horror
Adam Curry: any anything? Yeah. For anything. Okay, there was
let's shift gears a little bit. There was some news out of out
of Ukraine, which you should know right now that the weather
in Ukraine is horrific right now. The people are the the
soldiers are freezing to death. They cannot supply them through
waterways because they're all frozen. And it's in the fighting
season has to end because there's just nothing that's be
there. It's not working. So that yes, sort of some drones back
and forth. Sure. But this was rather interesting.
Unknown: Ukraine and Russia have completed the biggest prisoner
exchange since their war started. The United Arab
Emirates arranged the swap today, Ukraine's President
Solinsky shared video of some of the 230 Ukrainian soldiers who
were returned, the Russians recovered 248 prisoners.
Adam Curry: So that seems like a positive development. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's was an art. Well, I have a clip of this
but his little longer, but a little more detail.
Adam Curry: What can I play? When can I play my PBS clip
first?
John C Dvorak: That was the PBS clip on my NPR clip. I'm
Adam Curry: sorry, I'm an NPR which is is interesting.
Ukrainian
Unknown: president Volodymyr Zelensky as promised Ukraine
volunteer
Adam Curry: Deemer Demar Zelinsky.
Unknown: Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is promising
that Ukraine will respond to the message.
John C Dvorak: What did he say Bala? Deemer. You Quain let's
Unknown: listen one more time. Ukrainian president Volodymyr
Zelensky. is promising that Ukraine
Adam Curry: Yeah. Ukraine, Ukraine, we claim we all be
clean and we'll
Unknown: respond to the massive aerial assault launched by
Russia yesterday. That assault killing at least 30 people and
injuring more than 160. It appears Elisa mad warranty
reports that foreign leaders and the UN Security Council have
expressed outrage and reiterated their support for Ukraine. In a
video
address. Zielinski did not provide any details of how
Ukraine would retaliate, but Russia's Defense Ministry
claimed that Ukraine sent drones and US made missiles into
Russian territory following the attack. Ukrainian officials have
not confirmed that claim. US President Joe Biden was among
those condemning the attack the largest since the war began.
Biden urged Congress to approve billions of dollars in funding
for Ukraine that's currently stalled. According to the
Institute for the Study of War, Russia will likely continue to
launch large scale aerial attacks. Wow, that was a crappy
edit listen to that billions of dollars in funding for Ukraine
that's currently stalled. According to the Institute for
the Study of War, Russia will likely continue to launch catch
your crap together and PR scale aerial attacks to beat down
Ukrainian morale and limit the country's military capabilities.
Illicit Nadkarni, NPR news, live Eve and
emergency meeting of the UN Security Council has
overwhelmingly condemned Russia's aerial assault
countries, including the US and Britain say hitting civilian
infrastructure violates the international rules of war.
While our school gives the European Union's ambassador to
the council. Russia's
ongoing systematic airstrikes against civilian objects and
critical infrastructure in Ukraine are unacceptable. And
they must stop such intentional attacks against civilians and
civilian infrastructure add to war, crime, war crime,
everything
John C Dvorak: is at work. I every time I hear one of these
reports, and if did they pinpoint some something and blow
it up? I'm reminded of that you knew was one of your clips where
they discussed the fact that the attack in Kyiv Kyiv from the
Russians was actually blowing up a meeting of a bunch of guys
doing drone technology conference. Yeah, it was a drone
conference of drone makers, and Russia gave him one. So they
leave this details out. So we don't know what any of this
these reports stink. We don't know any of the details of what
the why it is randomly shooting in there.
Adam Curry: And we know that President Biden gave, did he
give a couple 100 bucks or was it to Israel, Ukraine to give a
couple 100 million?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's both right. I don't know. We got to
look at that clip from Russia. Well,
Adam Curry: while we have the stalemate, they found a new
route to pay off the military industrial complex. Listen to
this Gambit. Remember, who funds NATO. We do America. The large
largest portion is funding from America. Check
Unknown: it out NATO beefing up its own security as Russia
increases the tax on Ukraine. The Alliance will help by up to
1000 us made Patriot missiles, some members can better protect
themselves. A majority of the missiles will go to Germany, the
Netherlands, Romania and Spain. NATO says it will continue as
policy of providing lethal support only to member states.
But the move could free up other ammunition that allies choose to
give to Ukraine. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: so I was bought bow so bogus. What is it that
one rep resolution in NATO if one countries attack you have to
go back to Russia. Article Five, everyone goes after him. So
what's the point of taking a defensive posture? I get rid of
all those missiles and see what happens if Russia Russia attacks
Poland, let's say or, or France, or Spain or what Spain's got
anything to do with this weather getting Spain's getting Patriot
missiles that makes zero sense. If Russia attack Spain, you nuke
Moscow.
Adam Curry: Hey, whatever happened to the neutron bomb?
Remember that? Yeah, the neutron bomb in the 80s. I remember this
thing was banned. It was a great idea. It was banned
John C Dvorak: for that reason? Because it was such a good idea.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: it was. It was a bomb that would explode. And it
would only kill people not the building. So there was no
realization. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: we should. But we have since learned after doing
the show for 16 years that the whole idea is realization.
Adam Curry: We got a boots on the ground from uza. In Poland
since you brought it up. today. I just watched the Polish news.
I remember Donald Donald Tusk is back in control. We remember to
SC tosk, from remember when the boy had Tusk when half of the
Polish government was killed in that plane crash?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they killed by the Russians. Yeah. Including
when was NATO then yeah, including
Adam Curry: the the central bank, the woman who ran the
central bank in Poland. So he says I was just watching the
Polish news. They're happy because there's less trash then
years before. Their analysis is the people don't have so much
money to spend, especially for food. So there's less trash, and
they sell it as good news, because less trash? Well, that's
the mindset of the green fascist over here. Don't get me started.
What happened to Polish media since the left took over in the
elections immediately after shutting down every critical TV
show, et cetera. So they're done. They're toast. Oh, yeah.
John C Dvorak: And it was fun with rigged elections. They are
for something
Adam Curry: else. Did you see that? So this loyalty, that, you
know, Poland doesn't use the euro. This loyalty all of a
sudden, like drops 25% in value. A couple of days back. It was
this huge, just boom, like against the euro against the
dollar. And but it was only on Google and I think was Google
Charts. And Google said no, that's just a glitch. How does
that even happen? They get their data from external sources. It
sounds weird, because the polling was freaking out. Of
course, that went viral right away like Whoa, what happened?
The are we about to get devalued or? No, no, it might have been a
message. Oh, no. something weird going on with that.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, okay. Well, things change. They needed
Adam Curry: laws and laws in chess.
John C Dvorak: So let's change topics for just a quick receipt.
Ooh, because
Adam Curry: spiked word. Good word. Yes.
John C Dvorak: I know. So I'm listening to do what you do once
in a while I don't do it that often. Go and listen to random
podcasts. And so if you go to I Heart Radio, they get can't get
ads. So they do house ads for more podcasts because
Adam Curry: we're in we're in podcast when podcast industrial
complex winter, there's no more ads.
John C Dvorak: So here we go. I want to play a couple of because
I think they're hilarious. Good, good work. I
Adam Curry: love this.
John C Dvorak: So here, they're both 32nd ads. And this the
first one is for a podcast ad for celebrity memoir.
Unknown: The Celebrity memoir holds up a mirror to society.
That's why we started our podcast celebrity Book Club was
Stephen and Lilly, where we read celebrity memoirs, total guilty
pleasures and then probing cultural analysis from the text
from Jessica Simpson to historical figures like Helen
Keller, isn't that a delicious mix of high brow and low? It
certainly is. Listen to celebrity book club with Stephen
Lilly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts. Wow.
Adam Curry: I can't I'm attracted to that. The voice
tells me this is a podcast I'm gonna love celebrity memoirs.

John C Dvorak: No, the idea is your is as if you are with your
girl.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's a surrogate for my girlfriend. My
girlfriend's Cool. Cool. You gotta you got more of these.
John C Dvorak: No, I should have liked a bunch of them don't Yes,
they're very funny. Yes, I
Adam Curry: love this. Well, now it's collapsing. The whole
podcast industrial complex is collapsing. No one wants that
you wouldn't know.
John C Dvorak: How's the numbers doing? Oh, the
Adam Curry: numbers are horrible. This will tell tell us
more. Well, I mean, people are losing their jobs. There's no
money. I think that the number of episodes that were published
in the last month was down 20%
John C Dvorak: Nobody's listening to these crappy
podcasts?
Adam Curry: No, of course not. No, they're all too busy
listening to the best podcast in the unity universe. With that
I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to
you the man who just put the sea in celebrity Manoir lives gems
and little my friend the other day and one of them said John
Cena
John C Dvorak: you Mr. Adam curry in the morning all ships
at sea boots on the ground feet in the air in the water and all
the games and nights out there.
Adam Curry: Good morning to the trolls and the troll room. Oh,
hold on a sec controls. There we go. That's better. There's so
many of them 1775 70
John C Dvorak: under above, if it was 25 more weed I'd say it
was normal. Well, I put it in good shape.
Adam Curry: I checked 30 minutes ago it was 1825 and once once we
got into those podcasts ads people tuned out. They dropped
off right away
John C Dvorak: just like that, just
Adam Curry: just like that. You can become a troll everyone
wants to be a troll be like a troll. It's good for you. It's
very healthy to be a troll why? I love Why Why? Because you can
get it all out. Go to troll room.io It started early before
we even hit the the opening of the show. Trolls are already all
over me spewing their troll SAP think what oh, just saying
horrible things
Unknown: blood.
Adam Curry: I don't remember we saying
John C Dvorak: that but you give never exemplify anything I gave.
I gave you the last show. I
Adam Curry: said one of the best ones was even Jesus is tired of
Adams conversion. Got that was a good one.
John C Dvorak: That is a good one. Thanks for the reminder. I
Adam Curry: told my pastor that he thought it was a good one
too, as if that is good. That's a good one. Yeah, so you can go
to troll room.io And then you can not only Listen Live to the
podcast, and that's 24 hours a day. By the way. This trolling
you control anybody. We recommend you troll Darren
O'Neil before we start the show,
John C Dvorak: he was he was on he was a maniac today,
Adam Curry: it was good.
John C Dvorak: I think so
Adam Curry: I thought it was out there it was rocking it Yeah,
you didn't like him. You tuned in early you were you were on
much earlier
John C Dvorak: Well, I thought he I think I don't know I'm kind
of agree with bemrose about what happened was that he there was
some stuff he played he should never play again. Like what? I
don't know I don't remember I can't remember the name of these
weird metal bands,
Adam Curry: no metal bands. You played good. He played an
acoustic version of Billy Idol Eyes Without a Face as good as
good stuff. Now, what I recommend is you get on board
with the new infrastructure because it's all collapsing.
It's all collapsing that kicking people off left and right. And
that's not gonna get any better. I mean, I'm surprised we're
still on Apple. The things we say it's just this is outrageous
now we're making fun of them. That's not that's
John C Dvorak: even worse. We don't make fun of Apple. What do
we do that What are you talking about? I
Adam Curry: make fun of the podcast that you know the
podcast industrial complex, they're all about it. Anyway,
doesn't matter. If you want to have the latest features, you
want to be notified within 90 seconds of us updating the show
you want to get a notification nominal by the way, when we go
live you want to make sure that all your favorite podcasts are
uncancelled bubble, which John keeps saying I'm gonna get a
Nobel Prize for but I'm not sure man. I don't know if I'll leave
to see the day. Oh, yeah. Forbes wrote me up. A little thing a
little blurb. You have a blurb in Forbes where they
John C Dvorak: say it was about
Adam Curry: value for value and cheese. I mean, I'd have to go
find it. Oh, you didn't have it at the ready. No. Oh, here it
is. Forbes now has it at the ready. No, I actually went in As
my browser and typed in Forbes and that came up now, May I May
I remind you that I ever since the infamous Howard Stern
incident, which happened about 12 years, 14 years ago, when you
were very mad at me. No, I was
John C Dvorak: I was just slightly off, but you blew up,
condemned my children.
Adam Curry: Ever since that moment, I have made sure that I
always mentioned you.
John C Dvorak: Well, you can mention me all you want at
Forbes, they're gonna write what they want.
Adam Curry: That's my point. Curry just celebrated the 16th
year of his no agenda podcast. Now there's a link to it. That's
good. So it's I'm sorry, I'm sorry, a show with nearly a
million episodes and listeners per episode. He said they didn't
want to take any advertising money. So they just asked
listeners to pay $5 a month's subscription fee. After
disappointing results. They ask the listeners to simply pay what
they wanted, then they could, after three to four years, Craig
was able to live off the income and focus entirely on his show.
Wow, that concept is what started carried down the path
for value for value was
John C Dvorak: really bad as I used to work for Forbes, you'd
think they'd give me some some chops. So now it's well, who was
the writer, new
Adam Curry: guy, new guy, and actually, Mickey, cos he's a new
guy. He just left the army. And this was his first gig. So they
edited the crap out of him. That's what they did. But he
doesn't have the juice to say, Hey, man, you're not doing it,
right, man. To reinforce podcast, decentralization, curry
started podcast index.org. Again, they didn't mention Dave
Jones, or the hundreds of developers but they says, so
independent app developers will be able to get everything they
need, through a platform without censorship. And then I went into
how we're changing the music business. And here's the
finishing quote, curry told me that artists are now making more
than a week from that they then they made from yours on Spotify.
John C Dvorak: I know that's probably true. It is.
Adam Curry: I truly believe that because of value splits. This is
where the community has stayed together and keeps things fair
validating, encouraging, and encouraging, he concluded.
Anyway, but um, below, there's
John C Dvorak: a guy talking about your pretty eyes. Now
Adam Curry: that you've a nice picture of me looking all
important. On a like on a panel, you know, looking off into the
distance, like with my hands up, like it was this big? Like, this
fish was this big, you should see this picture. It's pretty
funny. Now, of course, it was this was all part of a different
article of an article that starts off with Jack Dorsey, of
course. So maybe people will read it thinking Jack could get
Jack Dorsey. Oh, gotta read that. The web five economy. Are
you kidding me? Forbes? Web five economy? What happened to four?
John C Dvorak: What happened to four? I
Adam Curry: don't? I don't know. Forbes has done away with the
with read for I don't know. Anyway, the point being you want
to get a modern podcast app, Forbes says so right there.
Forbes says it's the way to go. So how could you? How could you
not do it? podcast apps.com. So let's talk about that value for
value model that we started to talk about a little under 16
years ago. That's true, but we added to it and of course I told
them all about
John C Dvorak: by the way, the original offer was $2 a month.
I'm
Adam Curry: sure I said too. But you know, it's like they edited
it down. And I also said because after
John C Dvorak: all with a million listeners Yes. $2 from
each and every one of them would be 2 million or $24 million a
year in income. It makes nothing but sense
Adam Curry: I would have a jet plane on each foot will be
great. Just two bucks two bucks. That's two bucks. Yes, I do have
a beautiful smile now. Thank you. Now the way the model
actually works is time talent and treasure and we say look
we're just giving you all the value up front the value is what
we give you in all the analysis everything we bring we are not
afraid to be controversial to go against our audience. So you
know that that number that fluctuates people leave I am
rage quitting this these guys suck pick a side you know so if
that happened then we would lose audience and then we would lose
money and sponsors would walk away and the sponsor we probably
get get you know, people start posting Media Matters. These
guys these guys are Zionists. These guys are anti-tobacco.
These guys are Magga which we're not Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And then I wouldn't be for my pillow we'd
have no ever tasers has right. And
Adam Curry: people will be like, you guys a little too
controversial. Yeah, I don't want to be a part of that. And
it's better to advertise on Tik Tok, we'll go over there and
spend our money over there, which is where everyone's going.
That's the whole thing. Everyone's advertising on
Tiktok. Now, so but it doesn't have to be money. Not everybody,
you know, feels driven that way. But also, it's sometimes much
more valuable if you do something for the show for the
production of the show, which is why no one's called listener and
you're not fans, you're different. Most of you are
definitely not fans, but your producers, you help produce the
show. And you can do that with your time and your talent. And
we love what the artists do that artists create artwork for us.
And the entire art generator was created for us maintained for us
by Sir Paul couture. So let's thank the artist for episode
1621 appropriately titled Haley's comment Wow, that was
such a good title. The art was well was just something that
felt right because we want to do a Happy New Year's piece of art
we're very traditional in that regard. And it was from a new
artists who's only been on the art generator for six days. When
when we picked her art I presume it's a her Susanna Leah. And it
was really nice. 2024 Happy New Year. Gold sparkly lights
traditional big and bold. We liked it now. We looked at lots
of other stuff. Are you do you have the Art Generator open here
John?
John C Dvorak: No, it's crashed because oh, these are producers
went to it.
Adam Curry: It's going slow for me to hasn't crashed. Did you?
Did you get the cloud? No,
John C Dvorak: I haven't got the splash screen even.
Adam Curry: No. Does it stop? Stop going to it. Trolls. No
agenda art. generate.com. Don't go there. Don't go there. That's
the I mean, I love that it's new. And I love that pocket who
would listen to me he made the artist profiles more accessible.
But there's something up with the speed of it. It's threatened
John C Dvorak: in fourth. It felt good to get that joke.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Some people lots of people get the joke. Is probably
it probably is AI. Oh, there it is. Okay, I'm getting the splash
screen. Boom, I got the splash screen. All right. Here we go.
So let's take a look at the other pieces that were submitted
to help man this is this has taken I should have had it up
before.
John C Dvorak: Famous Last so we can't discuss the art today.
Adam Curry: We won't discuss the art unless it pops up in a
little bit. But we appreciate Suzanna Leah new artists, she
had a couple of pieces she put up there. There were other
pieces that were totally valid.
John C Dvorak: There was that there was a lot of use usable
pieces
Adam Curry: out. I'm so bored by the AI stuff even though it's
usable. It's just I mean, doesn't everybody see this? Just
AI we're going into this. This this season?
John C Dvorak: Ai funk.
Adam Curry: Ai funk? Yeah. It's it's a season of boring. It's
just boring. Everything's so polished. You can always tell
that it's that it's AI. I miss. Oh, I got a gateway timeout bad,
too.
John C Dvorak: It's a two. Dud in some ways. It's too slick.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think it's there's too many elements. It's trying
to load. You know, agenda social was also down yesterday, which
was great. It was great. Which was yeah, it was great. I'm
like, Oh good. Everybody, take a breather. Take me out. Have some
rest. You know, collect your thoughts. They're all over there
on Twitter ex. Like brah I gotta be part of over here. And you
know, because just in case doesn't come back. Who cares?
And then the minute it came back, what got posted memes.
More memes.
John C Dvorak: Interesting. You could do three memes every so
often. I'll put three memes up. I
Adam Curry: know that you try and try. I've started commenting
again and I'm regretting it already noticing this. Yeah. And
regretting it because people say horrible things. Like Why be so
sanctimonious. So Rich, self righteous? That's
John C Dvorak: about right.
Adam Curry: And then what's the guy who said that I made
millions of dollars by being the right guy
John C Dvorak: and I like that one.
Adam Curry: But what I was wondering when did this happen?
Let me know please. All right, let's thank the treasure part of
our producers in the in the three T's time, talent, and

John C Dvorak: story. But credit J was finding this one. Oh,
okay, good. Now this is the keep them working those this is a
strange story about how a cat saved the dog and I have a
comment to make explaining this clip after replay it
Unknown: or you don't hear every day a dog is alive and wagging
its tail thanks to the family cat who's scared off to
attacking coyotes.
These forests Caitlin Ogle shows us the video. This is little
Oakley. She recently got her stitches out and she's back to
her normal self but she's alive. All thanks to her sister thinks
it was kind of inspired by it quite frankly. Oakley is
a white dog Binks a black cat. They're polar opposites but
their family. This wooded backyard is Banks's domain
neighborhood. Cat just showed up when she was about two months
old November
30. While the family's two other big dogs were also outside out
of camera view. Lane Dyer says he left the six year old have a
nice out to go to the bathroom
out of nowhere was attacked by a cow then
another coyote appears but see that to the left. Well that's
banks saying not in her backyard.
dumbed down and scared them off is the craziest thing ever.
That gave Oakley enough time to run inside cut her open she
was gushing blood from her chest and her side was dyers
rushed Oakley to the hospital. She was stitched up and her leg
was put in a splint. Doctors telling family Oakley may lose
the limb. Thankfully it's still intact. But while waiting for
her recovery, the dyers tried to figure out what happened.
Thankfully,
we had security cameras were able to go back and actually
look to see what happened. It was inspiring to see just our
little outdoor cat just jump at two coyotes that were attacking
this little dog because she loves and run them off. Now
Oakley is back to her old self doing tricks. An eating treats
well beings keeps a watchful eye on the woods and Edmond Caitlin
Ogle, Oklahoma's news for Oh,
Adam Curry: I feel good now. I love that a cat saved the dog
and she might
John C Dvorak: do I haven't watched this and I have to what
I'm thinking is the the coyotes weren't that big anyway, but the
coyotes don't have they're not like dogs and they have these
enemy the enemy the cat in the house. The Coyotes probably saw
this, the cat came running like a banshee at those two things.
And just as a quick response to coyotes took off like rut like
rockets, because the Gestalt, the gestalt of the charging cat
was that of a cougar. And all they saw they reacted to what
they thought might be a cougar, which is their enemy.
Adam Curry: Ha, well, I have a question. Is it coyote or
coyote?
John C Dvorak: Either you can pronounce it either way. I think
coyote is the way you should pronounce it.
Adam Curry: I'm going with coyote now just to make coyotes
have
John C Dvorak: x's were pronounced and I'd say I got a
coyote in the backyard. We took a shot at him but he shot back.
