Adam Curry: What a great time to be doing a podcast. Adam curry,
John C. Devora. February 11 2020 for the show award winning given
nation media assassination episode 1633.
Unknown: This is no agenda that
Adam Curry: 25th is back on deck and we're broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region
number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry. And
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley we finally
realize it Super Bowl Sunday. I'm John Cena borax
Adam Curry: kill. Yeah, sports balls. Baby. We're all jacked
and happy about sports Bo.
John C Dvorak: And I will the last two weeks in
Adam Curry: sports ball.
John C Dvorak: Yes. All these sports ball talk shows is all
they do. I mean, I don't know how much you can talk about
something to such an extreme. Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak,
yak, yak, yak.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Before we continue, I want to warn
everybody. Several times during today's broadcast, we will be
switching away to cutaways of Taylor Swift. Oh,
Unknown: we all need to calm down and I'm not talking about
the podcast I'm talking about having Taylor Swift here.
Adam Curry: There you go. Just once in a while. We gotta cut to
Taylor Swift. So we all have seen that she's here.
John C Dvorak: I think she's going to come out on stage at
the halftime show.
Adam Curry: Did this okay. Calm down. She's not going to come
out on Do you think she's going to come out on stage of the
halftime show with Usher Sure. Naked. I wanted to give us a
little props. I got a note from our boots on the ground. That M
five M news quote quote, quote news outlets were pitching NORAD
to have Taylor's F Taylor Swift's playing tract. They
called the Public Affairs Office. They really wanted this
just like Santa Claus. And they all said knew. But we were
right. That is the it's the extent of peak swiftness.
John C Dvorak: Well, the problem is, of course, is that she
actually landed yesterday morning. Is this true?
Adam Curry: I thought she had a concert just to jump on the
plane and visit day
John C Dvorak: ahead. And so she's already been back
yesterday morning and she landed in LA in the morning and she got
to Florida yesterday.
Adam Curry: This is disappointed ruined. Did
John C Dvorak: that ruin the idea for NORAD? Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's disappointing. I thought we're
gonna get a tracking you know, have her her cutaways of her
convoy coming from the airport. Will she make it in time? Will
she make it in time?
John C Dvorak: Oh, brother. Yeah, that's what you would that
would be ideal. If we were producing it. We don't fake
that. You know, it could still happen. We
Adam Curry: do that we would do that. Right away.
John C Dvorak: They could fake it the way they did. The last
good news clip from last show I got a lot of flack from
Adam Curry: Oh, I even Yes, yes, people were very disappointed by
they felt bad
John C Dvorak: about the deed being disappointed but including
him. Oh, we have a Milwaukee Police guy who did a lot of
research on this and any research found the city
everything all the details. It was it was a legit story. But my
commentary and I never said it wasn't a legit story. I said
that it was sweetened with a lot of staged clips within it, which
is what NBC does they I think they do some of the poorest news
reporting.
Adam Curry: I think I don't think you covered your tracks
very well. There was no I didn't I forgot it. You didn't use the
there's no evidence. I mean, you did not do a great job.
John C Dvorak: But the fact is that there's no way that they
some of those clips, they could have even had them so it's all
right. Everybody loves you. Especially a little girl in the
backseat go Where's daddy? Where did they get that
Adam Curry: recording on? It's okay. The thing that I was
amazed by is that so many people listen all the way to the end of
the show. Like this is
John C Dvorak: good. All the cops do for sure this is this is
good. We love cops in their car. patrol of course
Adam Curry: over what else you're gonna do. Listen to the
show. Of course. You know it. All right. My assessment inside
attack 25th amendment on deck. Biden realizes he's in trouble.
John C Dvorak: Biden doesn't realize anything now.
Adam Curry: Did you watch the whole press conference from
beginning to end? Yes.
John C Dvorak: I watched the whole thing. What the whole
seven minutes 17
Adam Curry: was 17 minutes. Okay. And the way the news cut
this up, they're in on it, obviously. Because yeah, he made
a mistake about CC okay. I mean, obviously, that's not your top
level performance. Is presidential material, but the
way they were cutting it? Well, I have some clips obviously, the
way they were cutting in some of his responses to make it look
even worse. Yeah. T he came out he was ready to defend his
stance. He fumbled a few things, but they turn this into he's a
bumbling idiot. And his. Okay, let's start off the main talking
point, angry and defiant president. Second,
John C Dvorak: you're just going right into the store without
giving any background for anyone who might be listening overseas
or anyplace else about what we're talking about. Oh, but the
background but
Adam Curry: everybody understands Taylor Swift. Biden
came out? Well, it's in the report. The background is in the
report
John C Dvorak: go on and did describe dude, a report came out
Adam Curry: here but it's in this it's in this clip. That is
John C Dvorak: all covered in the clip templates. Yes,
Adam Curry: thank you for slowing the pace down President
Biden
Unknown: angry and defiant. My memory is fine. In a hastily
called evening news conference. The President responding
directly to Special Counsel Robert hars reports on his
handling of classified documents on the document that included a
blistering assessment of the 81 year old age and what the report
has diminished faculties in advancing age. The President
slamming hers assessment that he did not remember when his son
Beau died. How
the hell dare he raised? I don't need anyone. I don't need anyone
to remind me when he passed away.
The remarks coming hours after the special counsel said our
investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully
retained to disclose classified materials after his vice
presidency, but said no criminal charges are warranted in this
matter. Adding to the jury would likely see the President as a
sympathetic well meaning an elderly man with a poor memory.
I will mean I'm an older man and I know what the hell I'm doing
moment
Adam Curry: this the all have the news reports, all the
packages had this where where they say oh is an elderly man
with poor memory. And they cut him saying I'm an elderly man
with poor memory. But in context, he was complaining
about that one sentence this right for people. And most
people, of course, don't watch the full thing. It really sounds
like oh my god, that guy is toast, not saying he isn't. But
it wasn't all
Unknown: that bad. That IQ well meaning an elderly man with a
poor memory.
Well, meaning I'm an older man. And I know what the hell I'm
doing Moments
later, the president confusing Mexico and Egypt. When talking
about the crisis in Gaza,
the president of Mexico CC did not want to open up the gate to
allow humanitarian material to get in.
Adam Curry: And the other thing, and I'm not defending Biden, but
I just want to point out that the news is in on this the M
five M because it wasn't Moments later, he had actually walked
off. And they came back to answer some questions about
Israel. So it was separated by many minutes. I believe you have
some clips about the documents themselves, which I'd like to
give you some space to talk about. And then I would like to
go back to the M five M analysis and packages.
John C Dvorak: Well, first of all, I have a couple of clips
here I want to play. That's what I suggested. I want to play the
gaff that I thought was the bad one, which was came right at the
beginning. When he's all upset about his night remembering
today his son died, which I believe is probably true, and
probably documented. But is is the gaffe that he made right
then when he when he came out to deny it, which is this one which
I still think is the was the big gaffe of the day not to Mexico,
one minutes, the Biden, Our Lady of gaff,
Unknown: I know there's some attention paid to some language
and report about my recollection of events. There's even
referenced that I don't remember when my son died. How in the
hell dare he raised that? Frankly, when I was asked the
question, I thought to myself, wasn't any of their damn
business. Let me tell you something. Somebody would come
in and I were since the day he died. Every single day the
rosary he got from Our Lady of this. Every Memorial Day we hold
a service remember him attended by friends and family and the
people will love to?
John C Dvorak: Well, yes, Our Lady of and he like couldn't
remember where it was now since you Guadalupe, by the way for
anything
Adam Curry: since you bring that up. When he came back to respond
to
John C Dvorak: I guess, screaming Reporter Well,
Adam Curry: they were all they were all screaming reporters. He
had he said something under his breath and then he came What I
thought was quite the revelation. He wants to talk
about the hostage negotiation. And he says something like,
yeah, how do I, how do I, how do I say this without without
revealing anything? So there's some plan.
Unknown: So that's what we're pushing around. I'm pushing very
hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire. Because, as
you know, I've been working tirelessly in this deal. How can
I say this?
Adam Curry: How can I say this without reveal? If I was, if I
was in his niche, if I was asked him, I'd be very worried about
this guy to
Unknown: lead to a sustained pause in the fighting in the
actions taking place in the Gaza Strip. And because I think if we
can get the delay for that initial delay, I think that we
wouldn't be able to extend that so that we could increase the
prospect that this fighting in Gaza changes. There's also other
negotiations, that listen
Adam Curry: to what he says now he talks about just before
October 7,
Unknown: you may recall, in the very beginning, right after,
right before Hamas attacked right after right before I was
in contact with the Saudis and others, to work out a deal where
they would recognize Israel's right to exist, let them make
them part of the Middle East and recognize them fully, in return
for certain things that the United States would commit to
do. The commitments that we were proposed to do related to to two
items, I'm not going to go in detail, but one of them was to
deal with the protection against their arch enemy to the
northwest. And northeast, I should say,
Adam Curry: Who's the arch enemy to the north, east Northwest
northeast? Was he talking about
John C Dvorak: Saudi Arabia? The second one
Unknown: is by providing ammunition and material for them
to defend themselves. Coincidentally, that's the
timeframe with this broke out. I have no proof what I'm about to
say. But it's not unreasonable to expect that the Hamas
understood what was about to take place and wanted to break
it up before it happened.
Adam Curry: So he's responsible?
John C Dvorak: No, we, I think this was actually discussed
before when Hamas did their thing on the seventh. Biden was
in the process of, of closing out the Abraham accords that
were set up by Trump to normalize relationships between
Israel and Saudi Arabia, which Rouhani is
Adam Curry: what he but he mentioned ammunitions, he was
going to give him munitions that was not in the initial analysis.
John C Dvorak: No, I don't remember that either. So
clearly,
Adam Curry: the guy's no good. But you know, as the focus,
memory is quite astounding.
John C Dvorak: So he, so today's bonus clip is coming up. I was
watching Saki this morning. So she's defending him and slamming
a pen into the ground. And she's she made a big point and in my
taking, like five Trump clips, right, well, everybody makes
mistakes. And she sews shows clump, saying Sioux City instead
of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Has Trump saying and Biden is
gonna start World War Two.
Adam Curry: So hey, he's not the only crazy old coot. So
John C Dvorak: she goes on and on about the two of them are
both the same. And you know, even though Trump's gaffes are
hardly at the same league as Biden's, but she goes on to
claim that the audience she says this, and I'm thinking people
make gaffes all the time. But they usually don't have a staff
of people. directors, producers, writers, people in the control
room where she says the following 81
Unknown: year old Joe Biden is running against 77 year old not
a sprite, Donald Trump. Whoever you may wish was running. It is
time to settle into the fact that there will be two baby
boomers competing for the White House in November. That is
what's happening.
Adam Curry: Now what did she say? 87 year old Biden? No,
John C Dvorak: she said 82 of worry one or 82 year old white
7781
Unknown: year old Joe Biden is running against 77 year old not
a sprite Donald Trump not a sprite
John C Dvorak: not a sprite? Well, you should know that.
That's not to get okay.
Unknown: Whatever you may wish was running. It is time to
settle into the fact that there will be two baby boomers
competing for the White House in November. That is what's
happening.
John C Dvorak: Baby Boom get it either, but that's why you need
a staff. If you have a staff of people you wouldn't this
wouldn't happen. Biden is not a baby bomber.
Adam Curry: He's from the great generation.
John C Dvorak: He's from the silent generation one
generation. The jet great generation was the ones that
were in World War
Adam Curry: One to.
John C Dvorak: The point is, is that Biden is is the only Silent
Generation president we've ever had. Because there are a bunch
of guys that were you know, they weren't had their parents were
probably not at war. They're home having babies. And that's
it. He's not a baby boomer. The baby boomers get blamed for
everything. All the silent generation screw ups and there's
tons of them, like Biden always pushed into the baby boomer
group and they're not they're not baby boomers. He's not a
baby boomer. The baby boomers, the oldest baby boomers are 77
Max, after they're born in 1946. Biden was born in the 30s.
Adam Curry: Fire the entire staff and Psaki get rid of him
for this horrible gaffe. I've
John C Dvorak: just it's the point is if you're going to go
on and on and on about making gaffes and point out that Trump
makes gaffe, and he makes give that you don't make a gaffe.
Adam Curry: It's better for him that way. I am in total
agreement. Let me let me lead you into your document. Clips.
Because CBS, I think CBS was really they were cutting they
were cutting on the on the president,
Unknown: let's start with President Biden having to defend
his mental capabilities described in the report is
sympathetic, elderly man who is well meaning that is not how you
want your president to be perceived, no,
but he could that he leaned right into it last night and
said, I am a sympathetic elderly man who has a good memory. And
that
Adam Curry: that's not what he said. He just repeated what the
report said thing
Unknown: he's got to convince and prove to voters over the
next several months. I mean, yesterday, in many ways,
encapsulated with so many voters tell us they're so worried about
two guys, one who has to spend a lot of time this year in a
courtroom, another who is perceived as a nice guy, but
perhaps too old and unable to do the job. And at this point, they
gotta figure out what these guys do. I prefer to
girl's point perception is reality, though. When it comes
to the voters, this is an important year. And when he has
these moments for Tony, I mean, this is this is something that
is glaring moving into this year, and
it'd be holding a press conference about your mental
acuity and to mix up Egypt and Mexico. Mexico is not even in
the conversation. No questions about Mexico. It's not the topic
of the press conference. It's not a good look.
No. And it was all about the boat in the southern border of
Gaza. So he went to Mexico, who among us hasn't screwed up those
two countries before but we're not President. Yeah. And that's
and that's the real concern that they have at the White House
that they're going to have to
Adam Curry: do so. So my entire analysis here, the media is not
defending Biden at all. They're doubling down, they're cutting
in bits, where he was just repeating what was in the report
and making it sound as if he said that last night as an idiot
25th amendment on Deck. This is to make him look impeachable.
Because, you know, we only need a couple of people to jump in.
No,
John C Dvorak: no, when he did, as far as I know, and you can
correct me if I if you know, I'm wrong. The 25th amendment has to
be initiated by the Vice Presidents all in with bias.
Okay, you want to I came out and she's made big statements. Sharp
is attack.
Adam Curry: No, no, I disagree with you. I think this is an
attack by Kamala or she's in on it. She had a setup question.
She was doing a whole different Spiel there. The Vice President,
I think it was at the Naval Academy. It was about something
completely different than I'm talking about to sit down. I'm
talking about the immediate reaction which got most of the
press the
John C Dvorak: immediate reaction I saw they got most of
the presses were sitting down saying the facts are wrong Biden
sharpest attack.
Adam Curry: I want you to listen to this and see if I can change
your mind set up question by some rookie reporter who she
thanks profusely in the beginning and at the end, and
then she goes on to compare herself to the President as a
wartime president.
Unknown: I'm glad you asked.
Adam Curry: I'm glad you asked as we agreed to beforehand.
Unknown: Listen, listen, I have been privileged and proud to
serve as Vice President of the United States with Joe Biden is
President United States. And what I saw that report last
night, I believe, is as a former prosecutor In the comments that
were made by that prosecutor, gratuitous, inaccurate and
inappropriate, October 7, Israel experienced a horrific attack.
And I will tell you, we got the calls. The President and myself,
we were there. The other hours. After that occurred together. It
was an intense moment for the Commander in Chief of the United
States of America. And I was in almost every meeting with the
President, I can take over anytime I'm your war lady. In
the hours and days that followed. Countless hours with
the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the heads of
our intelligence community, I was there President was in front
of and on top of it all, on top of asking questions, and
requiring that America's military and intelligence
community and diplomatic community would figure out and
know how many people were dead. So
Adam Curry: she goes on and on and on to talk about how she was
there. She was in every single meeting, she was there with the
heads of state with everyone from intelligence, all the
military guys, clearly,
politically motivated, but it was politically motivated,
circuitous, I'm a prosecutor. So
Unknown: I will say that when it comes to the role and
responsibility of a prosecutor in a situation like that, we
should expect that there would be a higher level of integrity
than what we saw. Thank you.
Adam Curry: Thank you for the question. Thank you for the
question. telling you my spidey sense, says she's in on this and
she will be the first to say I'm sorry, Joe, you just gotta
John C Dvorak: go. Well, that would be entertaining. Yes, of
course. I'm actually be a first I mean, I liked the fact that we
got a lot of first coming up here. We have the, you know,
first indictment for glory the second ever in history of of a
cabinet member with Mayorkas. Yeah. And then we have the first
it's only happened once before it was I think in the 1800s,
where you had a president that was president than voted out and
then voted back in that would be another one. Yeah, it'd be a
first intended use of the 25th amendment. I was I don't have
the clip. But I was quite disappointed. I should have gone
back and scratch scrounge up the clip. But I was quite
disappointed in Dershowitz going on about the 25th amendment
saying the reason that the framers put the 25th Amendment
in place, which is his quote, and then he went on with an
explanation for how it works. I was quite disappointed in that
because it wasn't the framers who, you know, George
Washington, Hamilton's it was his amendment. These are men,
the 25th Amendment showed up after Woodrow Wilson. Yeah,
hardly a framers?
Adam Curry: Well, unless so there's a couple things that a
couple theories we've had, it can also, first of all, by
invoking the 25th Amendment, we can get him off the stage and
then we can bring in other people to run. So it is not
necessarily that Kamala is going to be president, but she could
be used to bring in Newsom, or obviously there's big, big mic,
just to get him out of the way or, or to ensure ensure and this
is our true theory to ensure Trump is going to win. We want
Trump to win so that he can take all the heat for all the crap
that's going to happen. Clean it up.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I can't get off that thesis completely. I
also can't completely get off the thesis that we may be
dealing with a Biden who's actually doing the bit of
Vincent the chin Gigante, they've had the one of the mob
bosses who played like, played himself as an idiot peeing in
his pants walking around Greenwich Village,
Adam Curry: I will tell you the way he conducted himself
watching from beginning to end, he was more like that. He was
more like a Dante, knowing what he was doing. Yeah, he's
fumbling a bit. But, but it felt more like that. And like he was
under attack from the inside. Like, holy crap, I gotta get out
there.
John C Dvorak: I mean, you know, it's funny. So I watched this
whole thing, but I watched and then I watched the after
discussion with Peter Doocy. Yeah, on Fox, who was
immediately after the press conference, Ducey was was
talking to one of them I forgot which one of the posts on one of
the shows when that when when Biden can came out and made that
press, impromptu press conference. And deuces
explanation of the scene was so alien to what the host that what
I saw and what you saw what everybody saw? Ducey says it
seemed like a cacophony because you had all these reporters
screaming at him from all the networks. And Ducey says it when
you were there, Biden had handled himself well, he thought
he has a nasty remark toward Ducey about his memory
remembering that he wouldn't have talked to him. Yeah, it was
a kind of a try to make it a joke and you couldn't do it.
Ducey comes out and says, No, it wasn't like that at all. It was
pretty. It was pretty calm and
Adam Curry: collected. This is what this is what I'm saying had
John C Dvorak: to be miked funny.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, the miking is out is always bad. And
then never really good with that.
John C Dvorak: Does it sound like a bunch of screaming
reporters? And Ben, they had close ups of Biden looking left
and right. Like he was confused. Yep. That she says that he
didn't feel that he was actually there. I'm
Adam Curry: agreeing with Ducey. It didn't feel like the way the
packages have been had been put together. It just you know, that
guy came out first was the same height as Biden. He had
paperwork guy comes back, he's crossing some stuff off. Biden
is opening up, he's he sees what he's what he's got. He's, he's
he knows what to read. He's still an old guy. So he flubbed
some some obvious things. I'm not saying he, he's not worthy
of being 25th amendment ized. But he was a lot calmer, like
the Gonti theory comes much more into play here. So I wish we had
that clip from Ducey. I agree it was he was being railroaded and
I think he knew it. That's why I'm thinking Kamala has that's
the only way yeah, if you want to do the 25th Amendment, you
have to go through Kamala and the majority of the of the
cabinet. But then they have a plan. This there's there's a
plan afoot. Biden doesn't want to leave. For sure.
John C Dvorak: No, definitely not. Here's
Adam Curry: the 40 seconds about the special investigation.
Unknown: So the question, I think the question for our
viewers for the American people. Is, is Robert, her this special
prosecutor, special counsel? Is he a political hack? Or did he
see something in his five hour interview that he thought was so
significant, he
needed to describe
it. He is a former Republican Justice Department official,
which is appointed Biden's allies will continue to make in
the coming weeks. This was somebody who has come from a
partisan or political background and was trying to come up with
something they anticipated it would be a scathing report. I
don't think they anticipated this personal of a call out
there in his behavior. So much. So the special counsel's office
went back to him and said, Could you please remove that you've
overstepped here? Yeah. As a prosecutor, that's not fair.
Adam Curry: I mean, this guy has spoke written all over him. He
was top aide to Rod Rosenstein. He was liaison to Special
Counsel Muller for the investigation of the Russia
interference. Yeah, Trump nominated him. But Merrick
Garland is in charge of him. I mean, Merrick Garland. Come on
Merrick Garland. Let this guy do this. None of that makes no
sense.
John C Dvorak: Though, that I think is a point on your favor.
In the insofar as this is a palace plot or whatever your
stockpile, yes, a palace coup, the palace palace coup, a palace
coup is. So here we got the Biden ducks analysis. This is
from NTD. I've got to four clips. But the two of the clips
are about Russia. It's just changes. They change the topic
on me. But it actually becomes more interesting.
Unknown: President Biden has addressed the Special Counsel
report on his handling of classified documents. Joining us
now to explore the report as well as Biden's response we have
investigative journalist Jeff Carlson. He's also the co host
of truth over news on Epic TV. I want to start with Biden's
documents case where a hers 350 Plus page report confirms that
Biden committed multiple crimes and possessing that material,
saying that our Commander in Chief quote risks serious damage
to America's national security that included exposing
identities of clandestine CIA officers and some of the most
sensitive of America's foreign agents abroad. But he added that
Biden won't be prosecuted because he's too mentally
unsound to face a trial. What did you make of this report?
Well, there's two sides to the report effectively, right.
There's the body of the report the evidence that's masked, and
then there's the conclusion and the report itself. I mean, make
money you know, and make no mistake, it is very damning. It
provides great detail as to what Biden did. It even covers a
little Nolan's Don't worry that goes all the way back to 21.
When documents were at the Biden Pen Center that walks through
the entirety of that it makes very clear that, you know, Biden
should have been prosecuted except for the conclusion, and
that is that Biden is not mentally competent to be
prosecuted. And it's those statements that are causing a
firestorm for everybody right now.
On that note, following this report, Biden gave a surprise
address to the nation now one exchange that came up with this.
President Biden,
something that special counsel said in his report, is that one
of the reasons you are not in charge is because in his
description, you are a well meaning elderly man with a poor
memory.
I will mean, I'm an older man, and I know what the hell I'm
doing. I've been President, I put this country back on its
feet.
Is your memory. And can you continue as president?
My memory is so bad, I let you speak.
Adam Curry: Hold on, I just had another thought. It is entirely
possible that the M five M has been instructed to focus only on
the memory and not on the report, because the report is
indeed very damning. How about that?
John C Dvorak: Oh, I like that one. Because because I'm
thinking back on what was reported, they are concentrating
on this. And they're downplaying the report, the report itself,
Adam Curry: which is 300 pages of incredible Yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: got he's giving away
Adam Curry: doing it after he was VP. Right. So it's possible
that all of this is just to focus on that. And as we know,
Fox News is run by Democrats. So here Ducey focus on this, and
the President had a punch line for him. Yeah, which I'm not
thinking was on the history of
John C Dvorak: comedy was forced to liberate. Well, that's
Adam Curry: what I'm thinking it might have been written like,
you know, that's what I'm thinking now. All of a sudden,
that's very possible.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there, I think that that actually might
be the answer.
Adam Curry: Well, you know, if you don't mind me interrupting
for a second, your clip, Meet the Press. Kristen, for some
reason need to bring in chip Todd, chug, chug, hurry, what's
his name? Chug, chug, hurry. And, and I think he has in this
clip, I think he has, you know, the only plan the only thing
that they can do,
Unknown: let's talk about the politics of this. Some of the
language in this report is just damning. You can't get around it
an elderly man with a poor memory. He's in the fight of his
political life. I
Adam Curry: love this. This. This is this may be what's going
on, John, the report is damning. He's an elderly man. How about
giving up CIA assets? Well,
Unknown: and it's also when is it coming? Right? It's coming on
the heels of just like more of the senators. He's accumulating
this this sort of a narrative that is the classic death by
1000 cuts, right? You know, the, the coal and the Helmut Kohl and
the Francoise miter on, and it's these, these tiny little things,
and every moment, of course, getting amplified by the right
wing noise machine. And it certainly does. You're seeing
with this in this in this report. There's an easy way,
though, for the White House to basically make this report
pointless about his memory, which is what I'm out there.
Yeah, let's see them out there all the time. The easiest way to
get rid of this storyline is to get them out there. Oh,
Adam Curry: yes. Get them out there. This report, the report
is only damning because he's, you know what, it all comes
together. Put that hey, this is Merrick Garland, who listen to
her? Listen to me, I see all these issues we've got going on
here, put something in there that makes him look like an old
turd. And we'll focus everybody on that. There's nothing about
the report itself. You're
John C Dvorak: preoccupied with insult?
Adam Curry: And Chip, Chuck is even saying oh, the right wing
noise machine will focus on that, like focus on that focus
on that focus on that. And I guarantee you the info Mavericks
will be focusing on that.
Unknown: Oh, focus? Yes, yes, this
Adam Curry: is it. Let's go back to the document itself. I'm glad
you have these clips.
Unknown: What's your reaction to this exchange? Well,
I mean, first of all, you have to consider the fact that they
felt compelled that they had to do this press conference in the
first place. In other words, they recognize that this report
was indeed that bad on both sides of it, both on terms of
the evidence and in terms of their conclusion. But think
about it this way. Biden is either too senile to be
prosecuted, or he should be prosecuted. Biden is either, you
know, not competent to stand trial. But conversely, is he
competent to be president? I mean, these are the very real
questions that determine a Democrat The party is facing
right now.
Adam Curry: Well, now anti D is falling into it.
John C Dvorak: It's hard not to it's the best part. Yeah. But
it's more entertaining than finding out that this guy is a
complete loser with all these documents that he has scattered
all over that the photos, you know, busted boxes, handwritten
notes. And then at his press conference, sorry, we don't have
the whole thing. He denies it. He says the report exonerates
him. Yeah, no. And he everything was in luck. We locked in filing
cabinets and nothing was in locked filing cabinet. So
they've done a good job
Adam Curry: of twisting. He said I didn't have my staff moved him
as my staff. I can't You can't blame
John C Dvorak: your staff under the bus. Wow.
Adam Curry: It may it may be this is it. The report is so
bad. And from what I've seen, it is so bad. They didn't want that
to be the focus. Mm hmm. Huh. Okay, brings a new
John C Dvorak: layer where you can spike the ball later. Let's
go. Now what happens now is they slightly changed the subject.
And it actually becomes kind of more interesting as he talks
about Russia.
Unknown: And Now switching gears a little bit. Fox News, former
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has been making headlines with his
interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now there's been
mixed reactions, especially in the media world, with even the
EU proposing sanctions on him. What did you make of his
interview, but also the reactions around it?
You know, I found the reactions predictable. I think the media
is terrified both at what, you know, Putin's demonstration of
competence is grasp of history. But also, you know, like during
that interview, he made it very clear that he was open to having
a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine. And yet, you
know, that's been an ongoing effort where there's a continual
demand for funds to keep funding a war in Ukraine that's frankly
unwinnable and is always in my estimation, anyway, it has
always been unwinnable.
Now, the Tucker Putin interview covered a range of topics,
including AI, and even Elon Musk. But what was most
surprising to you,
the length of it, the fact that he was willing to there was it
was such a breadth of topics that were covered. You know,
this, this meeting went this interview went more than two
hours in length. Again, though, the first thing that I
gravitated to was Putin's throwing out there of his own,
you know, very forthright that he wanted a negotiated
settlement to Ukraine. That's probably the thing, first and
foremost, that grabbed my attention, as well as the fact
this understanding of history and that Russia, I think, as a
country is much more tied to their history than
unfortunately, we are here in the United States right now.
Adam Curry: I think it's correct that NTD switches to that,
because a was also Well, time to cover up massive coverage of the
Tucker Putin interview, there was very little time for anyone
to do it cover any of the content of it. And by the way,
he was very specific that Boris Johnson was the one that went
into because I watched that whole that was tedious to watch
the whole Tucker interview. But Putin very exactly as we
predicted, described, specifically, hey, the documents
were there. Boris Johnson flew in said, no, no, no, no, you're
not, you're not going to sign that you're going to fight. They
didn't say that in the NTD analysis. But it was also just a
great cover up. And when you're done with these clips, I have
some, I think some responses to the Tucker I do
John C Dvorak: want to mention something which is I was reading
various discussions where they kind of pass over this this
interview with Putin and almost everybody in the mainstream
media claims, and he started looking into it. They all say,
Well, the thing about it is we have to stay in this work
because Putin doesn't want to negotiate.
Adam Curry: Yeah, which is exactly
John C Dvorak: the opposite of what lie. All he wants to do is
negotiate.
Adam Curry: Yes. Yes. I don't want to go back to Poland. And I
don't want to do it. Just listen, negotiate this thing
out. Let's do it, bro. That's my
John C Dvorak: daughter's on and on about the Minsk agreements
where everybody was ready to negotiate. And that was the
Boris Johnson thing I think he's doing pulled the plug on Minsk.
Yes. And so this is just like we're just being scammed by the
media in terms of their with the way they're presenting stuff to
us. Well,
Adam Curry: the focus is what's so amazing is how the focus is
put on certain things. That again, you know, you're getting
the same clips on Twitter, you're getting the same talking
points and focus really focus from the from the alternative
media, what I call the info Mavericks, like all other
lawyers talk about this with this. I wonder how many people
actually watched all two hours and seven minutes besides you
and I? Were all 17 minutes of Biden, this is no longer done. I
think people just sniffing each other's butts and getting each
other's clips.
John C Dvorak: Well, they're there. Yeah. It doesn't take
Eugenius to watch 70 minutes of Biden. Alright, let's go to part
two of this. And then there's just one other aspect, which is
the kind of the most interesting part of it. I don't know what's
going to come of it. And
Unknown: one thing that seems to be standing out to some was the
binder that Tucker was holding. What did you make of that?
Yes, in many respects, especially in kind of light of
the overshadowing events yesterday, that was the thing
that I thought was the most interesting at the very end. And
Tucker made a point of showing it for those that didn't see,
Tucker was given a very large binder of documents from Putin
to bring back in. It's unknown what's in there. But not only
did you see that at the end of the VNA interview in the
handoff, but Tucker made a very real point of posting that as a
separate clip, just he in the binder alone, and without
telling us what's in there, making very clear what it was
and pointed it out to everybody. So a lot of curiosity
surrounding what's exactly in all those documents.
Adam Curry: Oh, I know what's in the binder doesn't everybody
know? I thought that was well known. You don't see the binder
pictures of Taylor Swift.
John C Dvorak: I wonder where you're gonna go with that.
Kennedy, he's got this binder, which is means as soon as Tucker
gets back on the airplane, he'll be debriefed by a bunch of CIA
guys. Russia, he's always wanted to be as
Adam Curry: as as Putin even pointed out, you wanted to be a
CIA guy that wouldn't have they wouldn't have yet.
John C Dvorak: Supposedly, yeah. And supposedly, supposedly, and
so they're gonna go over the stuff with the fine tooth comb.
Now the problem is, is that what's Tucker gonna do with
this? Is he going to get release it, you know, if you release
part of it, of the binder, and you don't release it all, you
know, Putin has got a second copy that he can come to, here's
what they didn't release. And this is what's important. You
know, it could be a setup or something like for for a stunt
like that? It could be there's it who knows, well, this is what
we're gonna find out eventually. But the binder is swift
Adam Curry: comes into play. It's like whatever, whatever it
is. It'll be aI generated fake. Baby. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's
John C Dvorak: what you could do. So
Adam Curry: Tucker Carlson might be prosecuted for under the
Espionage Act and lawyer or just as just noise, just noise. You
know, tech companies will be testing European Union law,
regulating lies. You know, you can't put that on the internet.
You can't put that on your platform. It's lies. And most
importantly, I want you all to know, Tucker Carlson is not a
journalist. He
Unknown: is not a journalist. He is not someone that you need to
take seriously. In fact, he's someone who there would be no
reason to take him seriously. So he cannot be held liable for the
things that he says so to try to couch what he's doing right now
is supposedly being being about journalism is absolutely
ridiculous.
Tucker Carlson
John C Dvorak: is going to be there and be the journalist that
none of us are actually
Unknown: Tucker, you are not in journalism a long time ago.
Sure. But these days, you've been in the propaganda business.
And yeah, journalist in quotes. Yes.
I'm alive say his name. Yes. Yes, I'm just his name is Tucker
Carlson. And he is the only American journalist who has been
able to interview Putin since the invasion in 2022. Tucker
Carlson is not a journalist. Not even close. Why he's doing this
interview. Now, obviously, for the Kremlin, it makes sense if
they want to talk. It's a friendly, it's a friendly voice,
but we will keep trying our best to actually commit journalism.
We have already decided you are literally the worst media figure
imaginable to be doing an interview with Russia's Vladimir
Putin. You have no journalistic credibility.
None that I mean, he's like a puppy dog. I find it gobsmacking
terrifying to ally and it's clear, like we talked about, you
know, disinformation on social media. Well, disinformation from
people like Tucker Carlson,
Adam Curry: Tucker Carlson is lying from the streets of
Russia, no less. So he's not a jerk. What is the journalist now
do you have to go to journalism school to be considered a
journalist? I just want to get this straight skinny on this.
John C Dvorak: Well, it depends on your definition. Bloggers are
considered journalism in some quarters. You can define it in a
lot of different ways. But anyone who keeps a journal would
be a journalist, anyone who's a reporter reports on something
would be a journalist to be tactic. There's no licensing in
the United States, in some countries to be a journalist,
for example, Brazil, you have to have a license, maybe the
government and that's the way to go and they would like that here
too. But no, no, you can be you can just call yourself a
journalist and you are I would use the term ipso facto, a
journalist, ipso
Adam Curry: facto, if you use the word ipso facto, you are are
in fact a journalist right that absolutely. Here's Chris Wallace
Tucker
Unknown: Carlson showed up in Moscow this week to interview
Vladimir Putin. It turned out to be anything but an interview.
No, Putin droned on for two hours and seven minutes wasn't
an interview he did let him drone on. While Tucker is out
there like an eager puppy, eager puppy. Oh, where
Adam Curry: have I heard this before?
Unknown: I mean, he's like a puppy dog because he is a useful
idiot. Oh, occasionally, but rarely. He got an a question
like this one about the power of the deep state in Washington.
It sounds like you're describing a system that's not run by the
people who are elected in your telling you it's true.
But more telling them what Tucker asked is what he didn't
ask nothing about why Putin invaded a sovereign country.
Nothing about targeting civilians. Nothing about Russian
war crimes. A reporter can ask Putin a tough question. If he
wants a real interview. Listen to this. Why is it that so many
of the people that oppose Vladimir Putin end up dead or
close to it?
Adam Curry: So Chris Wallace says Tucker Carlson is no good,
doesn't ask the right questions, and then cuts to a clip of him
asking Putin a tough question. I mean, whoa, bro, ego much.
Unknown: Why is it that so many of the people that oppose
Vladimir Putin end up dead or close to it? But apparently,
that's not why Tucker went to Moscow. During the Cold War,
gullible Westerners who spread Soviet propaganda were dismissed
as useful idiots. But calling Tucker that is unfair to useful
idiot. Well, oh, no, he's made a cynical affection for dictators.
And what better way to cash in than Putin's Kremlin?
Oh, yeah. Oh,
you got butt flap?
John C Dvorak: I wonder if I, if Chris Wallace ever asked
Hillary, that exact same question.
Adam Curry: There was one, there is one piece that I didn't hear
anyone talk about? A question that wasn't even a question.
It's something I don't think it was even a question. Because you
know, Tucker's not journalist. But Putin had something very
interesting to say here, you
Unknown: just asked me if another leader comes and changes
something. It is not about the leader. It is not about the
personality of a particular person, it that she didn't, I
had the very good relationship with the say, Bush. I know that
in the United States, he was portrayed as some kind of a
country boy who does not understand much, but I assure
you that this is not the case. I think he made a lot of mistakes
with regard to Russia, too. I told you about 2008. And the
decision in Bucharest to open the NATO's doors to for Ukraine
and so on. That happened during his presidency, he actually
exercised pressure on the Europeans. But in general, on a
personal human level, I had a very good relationship with him.
He was no worse than any other American or Russian or European
politician. I assure you, he understood what he was doing as
well as others. I had such personal relationship with Trump
as well. It is not about the personality of the leader. It is
about the elites mindset. If the idea of domination at any cost
based also on forceful actions, dominates the American society,
nothing will change. It will only get worse. Yeah,
Adam Curry: exactly. He can take over the show. If we cut out the
pauses like I did on that clip, he can easily take over take
over the show. Everything that we have deconstructed. Putin
said the half hour background on Russia was interesting. I mean,
just from a historical standpoint, now, but no play, no
John C Dvorak: play. Yeah, it was interesting. If you wanted
to listen to Russian history, which
Adam Curry: I didn't have, but you know, a little bit not all
that. But yeah, so everything came at the right time. You
know, we had Biden making all the noise. I think that got the
most noise from the noise machine. I like that the noise
machine. And even then, even I didn't even see Fox do very much
on Tucker and Putin, did you?
John C Dvorak: Actually, I don't recall anything. And I there's
two or three shows I've watched kind of routinely, yes. And I
don't recall them bringing it up at all,
Adam Curry: because he's persona non grata at the Democrat run.
Fox News. They kicked him out. I did want to go back briefly to
the Biden thing because I would have wrapped this up if we
hadn't gotten on a different track about covering up the
report Smerconish. Where's that guy from that Smerconish? Does
he have a radio show? Smerconish must
John C Dvorak: be like a radio reason I can't come up with a
radio guy. He
Adam Curry: had an Obama confidant extraordinaire, David
Axelrod, on. Axelrod, who didn't you run Obama's first campaign?
John C Dvorak: Yes. He ran Obama's campaigns and he hates
Biden.
Adam Curry: And he's a podcaster. Now, he's a podcast.
John C Dvorak: Is he? I don't know. podcaster. X Files? Yes,
he
Adam Curry: has. He has a podcast and Smerconish. Ask them
about Big Mike. And
Unknown: there's like always a family member who says, in my
case, it's my brother. Keep your eye on Michelle Obama. And I say
that is crazy. What should we be saying about Michelle Obama?
Well, here's what I know. Michelle Obama, Obama loves this
country. She's She's a brilliant person and a brilliant
communicator. But she was a conscript to politics. She never
was interested in a political life. Even when Barack Obama was
a young politician. She really didn't participate much in his
campaigns. I was with him in his Senate campaign in 2004. I think
she showed up twice in the whole campaign on election nights. So,
you know, she, she's not someone who likes politics. She doesn't
like the tone and tenor of politics. And I would be floored
if she would consent to that. They feel that they gave 10
years of their life to this, and I'm sure she feels as Barbara
Bush did when she said there has to be someone other than the
bushes and the Clintons who could be President of the United
States. My guess is that's her attitude. I always say, Michael,
that I have as much chance of dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet
next year, then, then that she would be President of the United
States. And so if you see me running around at the end of the
year in a leotard you'll know what
Adam Curry: I was gonna say both. I
Unknown: hear the Bolshoi maybe once maybe once and for all.
David Axelrod just put it to rest. Unless Cindy Adams is not
watching. Thank Thank you, David.
Adam Curry: I think he's still left that open. No, you might,
might be in leotards.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the funnier line is a two two. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I was waiting for him. I agree. I was waiting for
him to say two two and because he didn't say two, two, I think
he left it open. Yeah, yes. He left it open. I'm just hedging
my buddy.
John C Dvorak: My buddy. My buddy microdata
Adam Curry: Oh, okay, mouse, man. Give me a break. There's no
evidence there weren't microdots
John C Dvorak: Hmm. So you get to bring that up. We have to
talk about this, though. I think we're done with it. Yeah, no,
I'm
Adam Curry: I'm wait. I think we've handled Biden and Putin
and we're good to go.
John C Dvorak: I got mail in ballots are no good.
Unknown: Republicans and Democrats don't agree on mail
and voting. according to a Pew Research poll. They disagree by
a lot with Republicans largely opposed. A different poll on
mail in ballot fraud may explain why NTDs Arlene Richards has the
details. Some
Americans don't like mail in ballots that much, while others
like it a lot. Nationally 57% of poll respondents favor mail in
ballots. A recent Pew Research poll shows 84% of Democrats
favor mail in ballots, while only 28% of Republicans favor
the practice. According to the survey voters have changed their
views on different voting measures in recent years,
particularly regarding voting by mail. Four years ago, 70% of
American adults favored it. But now only 57% do. Democrats views
on mail in ballots have remained almost unchanged since 2020.
While Republicans have become less fond of it, dropping from
49% to 28%. One reason for the change in opinion may be due to
an increased likelihood of fraud. Well, how
Adam Curry: are we going to steal an election if we don't
have mail in ballots?
John C Dvorak: That's exactly right. And then of course, the
part is pretty I think this next clip, which is part two is is
incredibly underreported by the mainstream, it's not reported at
all.
Unknown: A study conducted by the Heartland Institute
concludes the fraud influenced the 2020 presidential election
results. The study was based on data obtained from the heartland
Rasmussen survey in December. According to the survey, about
one in five Mellon voters admitted to potentially
fraudulent actions in the 2020 presidential election. The
researchers believed the fraud significantly impacted the
results of the ill election in favor of Joe Biden. The report
states that if the majority of Americans had cast their ballots
in person, Donald Trump would almost certainly have been
reelected.
Adam Curry: So there was a poll, which is Rasmussen, which is, I
think, usually seen as a right wing far right poll, where
people actually admitted that they they defrauded it. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: He ever heard this either, have you? No, of
Adam Curry: course not.
John C Dvorak: Of course not.
Adam Curry: What I did here is some of the oral arguments of
the Supreme Court regarding Trump being on the ballot in, in
Colorado. So this is, this is entertaining. Yes. The Supreme
Court discussing now. Well, hold on a second, you guys had some
mind reader who testified that Trump was intending to be an
insurrectionists. And on basis of that you said, Oh, he
committed an insurrection. Now, I think a point we brought up as
well, if you can take someone off the ballot, because they
incited an erection. Oops, I did it.
John C Dvorak: On purpose? Oh, actually, I
Adam Curry: didn't. Because it's easy to do, I guess what's on my
mind because they incited an insurrection. You could also
make that case against Nancy Pelosi for not having the
Capitol Police or National Guard whatever was asked of her. And
what's good for the goose is good for the gander. And Chief
Justice Roberts said exactly that. If
Unknown: Colorado's position is upheld, surely there will be
disqualification proceedings on the other side. And some of
those will succeed. Some of them will have different standards of
proof. Some of them will have different rules about evidence,
maybe the Senate report won't be accepted and others because it's
hearsay. Maybe it's beyond a reasonable doubt whatever the in
very quick order, I would expect. Although my predictions
never been correct, I would expect that a goodly number of
states will say whoever the Democratic candidate is, you're
off the ballot and others. For the Republican candidate, you're
off the ballot, it will come down to just a handful of states
that are going to decide the presidential election. That's a
pretty daunting consequence.
Well, certainly, Your Honor, the fact that there are potential
frivolous applications of a constitutional provision isn't a
reason. Well, no,
hold on. I mean, you might think you're frivolous. But the people
who are bringing them may not think they're frivolous.
Insurrection is a broad, broad term. And if there's some debate
about it, I suppose that will go into the decision. And then
eventually what we would be deciding whether there was an
insurrection when one president did something as opposed to when
somebody else does something else, when that'd
Adam Curry: be great if we only had like 10 states that have
both on the ballot.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's your That's democracy for you. That's
exactly training. Democracy. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Man, this is great. What a great time to be doing a
podcast.
John C Dvorak: It's podcast time.
Adam Curry: It is it is podcast time. It's fantastic. I'm loving
it. I'm loving it. So well, I mean, the general consensus,
including from our constitutional lawyer is that
the Supreme Court will reverse the Colorado Supreme Court
decision now, if they're, I
John C Dvorak: should point out that most of the analysts to
watch or listen to all of the eight listened to quite a bit of
it. But it turned out to be the liberals who are really jumping
all over this because they just thought it was ridiculous. So
it's going to it's either going to be eight to one or which be
Sotomayor she did was the only one that seems sympathetic, or
nine to nothing, and this is not even going to be close the art
are.
Adam Curry: Our constitutional boots on the ground lawyer says
he says the odds are good that Sotomayor will dissent. She'll
be the only one. But then of course, the question is on what
grounds will they overturn it? It could be multiple grounds to
make it a little fuzzier. You know, not to just who I you
know, was not getting to the insurrection part. Let's just
say bla bla bla bla bla bla, I think they're gonna go for blah
blah, blah,
John C Dvorak: blah. So I have a little clip here. That shouldn't
be tween clips.
Adam Curry: I love an entre ma entre Manuel muse. Boosh.
John C Dvorak: I finally got a clip of Reverend Al. Oh, good,
harder to catch now. Yes. So I have him. He says he's talking
about my orcas and how he's going to be another trying to
impeach me orcas, and I just knew it'd be a matter of time.
Before After he said it once, twice, three times before he
screwed it up. Here we go. Homeland
Unknown: Security Secretary Alejandro hello world because
they are raucous DHS Secretary maracas Secretary Mary Oh cuz
there's no
Adam Curry: real conflict. Mary Okis
John C Dvorak: Mary Okay, Mary Okay,
Adam Curry: that's I'm gonna write that down. Mary, how do
you spell? It's Mary m a r y ocus oak ies, Emery Emery OCO.
ES Yeah. Mary ocus Ah The Rev. I let them go live these days. Is
that Is that what they're doing? They just let him
John C Dvorak: he's on tape. really screws up date pull it
just letting
Adam Curry: them go while man let him go wild. Oh. I heard a
an ad the COVID is is is striking people again.
John C Dvorak: Get back slow COVID COVID-19. I'm not waiting.
If it's COVID x COVID.
Adam Curry: I just want you to hear all the disclaimers in this
ad. This is not a good product people excellent.
Unknown: It is an oral treatment for adults with mild to moderate
COVID-19 and a high risk factor for it becoming severe.
It does not prevent COVID 19 symptoms are mild
now. But I'm not risking it. I'm
Adam Curry: not here you're my symptoms are mild. You have a
little flu, a little cough, but I'm not risking it
Unknown: if it's COVID vaccinated. Tech SLOVAN must be
taken within the first five days of symptoms and help stop the
virus from multiplying in your body.
Adam Curry: Oh it helps the virus from stops it from
multiplying in your body. Wow. Taking
Unknown: pecs a little bit but certain medicines can lead to
serious or life threatening side effects. affect how it or other
medicines work, including hormonal birth control is
critical to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take
because certain tests or changes in their dosage may be needed.
Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, HIV
one our plan to become pregnant or breastfeed, don't take packs
loaded. If you're allergic to numerous welfare ritonavir or
any of its ingredients. Serious side effects can include
allergic reactions, some severe like anaphylaxis and liver
problems.
These are not all the possible side effects.
So talk to your doctor.
Adam Curry: I love that this is new. These are not all the
possible side effects. Talk to your doctor. They're not even
disclaiming the death anymore.
John C Dvorak: Wow, yeah, I liked it. I knew that is new,
but they can get away with it. That's what they're gonna do.
Adam Curry: And they also show the lady beginning it through
telemedicine. They show her on the laptop talking to her
doctor. That's you know, talking to your doctor is now real
thing. It's not your doctor at some dude in Vegas, you know,
who also who's also a car valet. And on the side he takes $10
calls and prescribes you tax COVID It's really bad. Not good
products.
John C Dvorak: The I got another onshore mount if you want to
Adam Curry: play one more, one more. This is a Tedros. So the
pandemic treaty that everyone's up in arms about now, because it
will give the World Health Organization all this control
and which is basically turning
John C Dvorak: it over and turning your sovereignty over to
one world government. Yes. But the negotiators will sign it
will sign it.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah. The negotiations are failing because
of the patents. So the so the big the big pharma companies
like ya know, we're all in it. But none of you we're not going
to give it to just every country unless they pay. Yeah, but you
remember, the patent was always the issue. Like give it to the
rest of the world. Now we're not going to give it away. I mean,
come on, we have patents on this stuff. We're not going to let
you produce it. We'll sell it to you. So Tedros. And by the way,
it's no longer the treaty. There's a new word it's, it's
the pandemic agreement,
Unknown: the pandemic agreement is mission critical. Humanity,
Adam Curry: it's mission critical for humanity agreement,
pandemic
Unknown: agreement is mission critical for humanity. in place
before COVID-19, we would not have lost so much we would not
have suffered so much.
Adam Curry: If only we had it in place before COVID We would have
not lost so much on the
Unknown: generation that lived through COVID-19. We have a
collective responsibility to protect future generations from
the suffering we endured. As young people you have the most
to gain from a strong agreement, it's likely you will face
another pandemic in your
Adam Curry: lifetime. Because it happens only once every 100
years. We
Unknown: can't know how mild or severe it might be. But we can
be prepared.
Adam Curry: So if I may speak to the younger generations do not
allow this thing to be signed. Do not do not let these people
control anything. Last night we were at a restaurant here the
fried Helms, the schnitzel restaurant, which is if you ever
come into Fredericksburg, skip everything go to fried helms as
cheap as affordable, is German is good. And so, so our server
comes over. Hi everybody. I'm Adam. And he says, you know, and
we're all of course, oh, US and my name is Adam. And he says,
Oh, yes, respect for my elders. And this was the first time in
my heart really sank. I'm like, holy crap. I'm an old guy. This
is the first time that really that's pretty insulting. Well,
and I said, Oh, you know, it's
John C Dvorak: insulting. I'm gonna just as an aside, what I
think is totally insulting is when you have a clerk calling
you especially you know, you're I'm in my 70s saying, young man,
Unknown: that's, that's insulting.
John C Dvorak: Thank you. Thank you very much young man.
Adam Curry: That beat him up. Hit him with your cane.
John C Dvorak: I would if I had a cane, I should carry a cane
just for that purpose, you
Adam Curry: know, with your walker. Well, the thing is,
like, Oh, dude, and then he got he got beat read. I mean, it was
very, the whole thing all round was bad. But I was just like,
oh, there it is. This the first time actually just had to come
to terms with it. I'm an old man. You said
John C Dvorak: dude. I said, dude. No, brother, dude.
Adam Curry: So anyway, as an old man, children, young generation,
do not let them you know, sign this pandemic treaty agreement
agreement. Do not do it, do not do it. And while you're at it,
have some kids please before the
Unknown: end of this century, the world population will shrink
for the first time since the Bubonic Plague of the 1300s not
because of an increase in deaths, but because of a slump
in births. Across the world fertility rate is collapsing in
the year 2000. It stood at 2.7 births per woman. Today it is
2.3. And countries are worried including France, France is
asked 25 year olds to get fertility checks. This has
invited massive backlash. Meanwhile, Singapore wants
people to celebrate the year of the Dragon by having quote
unquote, little dragons of their own. That's what they call it
babies to make the concept more interesting, perhaps, but when
these tactics work,
Adam Curry: little dragons. So you know, we've been talking
about what the former New York banker told me about the about
our population, that as long as we still have people, that as
our population grows, we beat every other country, most
notably China. So Bloomberg, two stories today. First story,
immigration. Now, they don't say newcomers, visitors, aliens,
illegal aliens, they say immigration will boost the US
economy by $7 trillion. And then, and then the UK, soaring
UK migration, which is the people coming in on rubber boats
across the channel, gives hunt that's the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, up to 18 billion pound benefit, he doesn't have
to raise taxes. So it's working as intended. You know, because
they work at or above the level of the people who are to live
which means cheaper. It's It's unbelievable. They're just
saying it now. So I think this the horse has left the stable.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we'll explain this one. Here's my clip
immigration results. Immigration
Adam Curry: results. Here
Unknown: we go. A new congressional report estimates
that the influx of illegal immigrants will force down wages
in the US. This comes as lawmakers in one state advanced
a bill that would extend government funded health
insurance to illegal immigrants and to his area and past our has
an immigration update is
very difficult to know with precision, who are the, you know
the people and such as coming across the border now, the
Congressional Budget Office or CBO released a budget outlook
report for the next 10 years. Same report estimates that
America's population will increase over the next decade
due to immigration. This will also take its toll on wages. The
report states that average real wages are expected to be
slightly lower by 2034 than they would be otherwise. Say the
report's most shocking projection is that it expects
government debt will rise by $20 trillion in the next decade to
$54 trillion. Now this new report comes just as state
senators in Virginia advanced a health care bill for immigrants.
The cover or kits Act would provide state funded health care
to all low income immigrants under the age of 19. Now a
Republican state senator who oppose the bill reportedly said
it would cost Virginia taxpayers $100 million just in this decade
and an update on this attack on police officers near Times
Square in which a group of illegal immigrants punched two
officers and kicked their heads as they were lying on the
ground. Seven individuals allegedly involved in this
incident have now been indicted. Manhattan district attorney
Alvin Bragg who doesn't often address the public held a press
conference on Thursday. Stay this assault
as it did to many of you sicken me and outrage me. We all rely
on our members of the NYPD every day as I said, to keep us safe
and keep this the safest big city in America.
Greg also commented on speculation that the suspects
had been caught in Arizona after fleeing New York. He dismissed
those reports saying they're not true.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna disregard the last bit of the report the
first bit was super interesting and because the $7 trillion
number comes from the same CBO report and the health care part
is is phenomenally interesting because the UK they also there's
a whole bunch of stories now because it is are you going to
give away health health care to visitors newcomers and in the
UK, they've been doing just that. So here's the story
headlines sharp rise in people waiting over 12 hours at the
emergency room in this is all the NHS is the socialized health
care but my favorite headline I couldn't get an NHS dentist
appointment for six months I had to pull up my own tooth with
pliers Yes Where I live many people don't even have teeth
anymore but there's a solution solution reports the Daily Mail
millions will get fluoride added to their tap water and biggest
expansion of controversial scheme since the 1980s. Yes No
cavities but it'll make it nice and docile unbelievable get out
of the UK people run Oh my my my I'm kind of happy I'm old now
I'm gonna have to witness all the all the mayhem coming. Well,
yeah, you can call me no code. This is This is horrible. Really
is. But of course you know, just
John C Dvorak: to play just to continue that clip but not a
continuation but just another this is another thing doesn't
get reported much in this in this in the mainstream this way.
I didn't know this until I heard I think is NTD. Play this one.
This is the New York City new shooting a new shooting. The
NYPD
Unknown: has revealed the suspect in a shooting in Times
Square last night. A 15 year old was arrested after allegedly
opened firing at a tourist police identified the teen as an
immigrant from Venezuela.
And I gotta tell you what those bullets hit saw accomplish
tonight. This is a whole different conversation we're
having today. My concern our concern the community's concern
is to take this on juvenile the streets.
Authorities say the suspect came to the US last September and was
living in a temporary migrant shelter. According to the NYPD,
he shot a Brazilian tourist in the leg inside a retail store
and began to shove clothing into a bag. As he ran off he
allegedly opened fire again just a fluke a few blocks away
attempting to lose the police officials say he's also a
suspect and an armed robbery in the Bronx last month. During the
shooting, the 15 year old was accompanied by two other
suspects. Well,
Adam Curry: since we're doing bummer news about New York City
and regarding regarding replacement migration, let's add
one more to the mix before I build everybody up cutting
Unknown: the fat that's a good thing when we want it. But the
city cuts $60 million out of the Education Department's budget
for school lunches. And the cuts announced in November have
started impacting school lunches across the city and is now being
noticed including here at this house kitchen location home to
five schools and 1000s of students.
A lot of kids don't eat so they're hungry and they're tired
and they don't participate or perform well in their classes.
It like really drains them out at home hungry and stuff. And
like usually we get snack or sometimes you don't eat or
there's no snack at all. When we don't get snack you know we
can't we can't be doing all that
the city school system serves close to 900,000 meals a day.
While the city still provides meals. Secondary and alternative
items are phased out like chicken fingers and french
fries. Mayor Adams announced the cuts the result of the city's
spending on the migrant crisis. Over the past year and a half
over 170,000 Migrants have come to New York City requiring
housing food education and other services that causes a cuts is
driving a wedge that they're more tired.
They're less able to focus in class throughout the day. They
have headaches or stomach aches, they have less energy, and all
of that affects learning and their ability to take advantage
of being in school.
So here's where it gets confusing. The Education
Department says despite the cut to the food budget, all of that
money is being replaced by incoming funds from the federal
government. Parents say then it doesn't make sense why the food
budget has been tinkered with and they say food for students
should be the last thing that's touched.
Adam Curry: All right couple things first of all, Get out of
the cities. This is no longer a safe or healthy place to live.
Second, they're feeding the kids. Chicken Nuggets and french
fries. give your kid a sandwich. Bologna with mayonnaise for all
I care. Oh, we have no snacks. Of course not. Of course the
kids are slow because you've got them addicted to sugar. Oh, we
need a snack. I need a snack to get my sugar Oh app. No. There's
right now there's a beef shortage in America. They're
they're messing with our food. They really are. And then the
farmer protest is a part of that all over Europe. I hope that our
farmers here eventually get in on the action. I don't know if
they ever will. I'm quite frankly, I'm surprised. But we
John C Dvorak: you know, it's they're not even letting us know
about the farmers protests in Europe and in the media
Unknown: near the village of Doris on Poland's Ukrainian
border. A bitter chill hangs in the air. Schools are furious
farmers have been blockading checkpoints demanding urgent
change from the governments in Warsaw. And in Brussels. The
source of their ire is agricultural products being
imported from Ukraine. Originally, they were meant to
support the Ukrainian economy during its war with Russia. But
now government policies are sparking unrest at home. Our
heads are on the water. We don't have any more money to
compensate for our losses in farming. It's our passion, but
not our livelihood anymore, unfortunately, is still our own
source of income. 1000s of other Polish farmers were expected in
the city of paws noun, anger there was supposed to focus on
European Union climate change policies. Opponents agriculture
minister said on Thursday, he understood the challenges
farmers were facing. Once the scene of gladiatorial conflict
Italy's Coliseum on Friday, saw tractors driving past, Italian
farmers say their battle is just as historic. We're not
here to protest. We're here to make proposals. Yesterday, we
presented sign copies of these proposals to the government, and
we're confident they will receive us together we will see
if Europe still wants to Italian farmer
the challenges they face are sizeable and growing. The EU
last week watered down climate commitments, apparently bowing
to Farmer demands that had called them overly burdensome.
So they're
Adam Curry: basically just chopping the farmers out,
they're no longer giving them the subsidies they need because
they don't want to feed their Nations. And it's cool to see
tractors in front of the Colosseum in Rome, they're no
longer they don't want to feed their Nations with healthy
products. And I consider beef to be a very healthy good product.
However, even in Texas, we've turned our ranchers into
commodity cowboys. And there's only three big processing
plants, and you need to find a rancher and there's plenty of
them beef initiative.com, which my buddy Texas slim set up,
there's plenty of them around the United States, you need to
go and shake ranchers hand and say hi, I need to buy some of
your beef. Because right now we in our supermarket here heb
that's from South America and they put USDA prime on it. They
drive that shut stuff up. They got a big cattle drive our Texas
Beef being sold like caviar to China. That's it and get out of
the cities. buy an RV for care. Get out, get into a small
community. You really need to do this because this is the
problem. It's the immigration is all it's not none of it's good.
But small communities can survive and certainly innovative
young people can figure stuff out. You can work by via remote.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm glad you got that clip of the farm
because the farmers because they're not playing any of that
on PBS what they've decided to do because they know people
notice protests going on in Europe. They've decided to PBS
is from PBS. They've decided to to bring it show protest the big
European protests in Germany as far
Adam Curry: right the Nazis. Germany AFD
John C Dvorak: coverage here's PBS weeks
Unknown: Germans have been flooding into streets squares
and parks protesting the increasing influence of far
right parties. It comes as Germany's leading far right
party suffered a narrow defeat in regional elections in one of
its strongholds. Ali Rogen explores the impact of this
increasingly tense political atmosphere.
The catalyst for the protests came from a recent report by the
media outlet correct teeth. It details a meeting between
leaders of the far right AFD or the Alternative for Germany
party and members of a separate extremist movement. In that
meeting, they discussed a plan for re migration involving mass
deportations of immigrants, including some with German
citizenship. The AFD has since distanced itself from the
meeting, but that hasn't slowed the demonstrations. Some
protesters are calling for an outright ban of the AfD which is
seen as As to aligned with Germany's Nazi past. James
Angelos is an editor for Politico based in Berlin. Thank
you so much for being here. Tell us about who the members of the
AfD party are and how much influence do they have in
Germany right now,
the party had been rising in polls leading up to this report
is second right now polling second behind the opposition
conservatives. So right now the party is more popular than any
of the parties that are currently in the German
government are three parties making up the ruling coalition.
And the AfD is more popular than all three of them. So
Adam Curry: I don't know if it's in your other clips here. But
that in this bin unclimbable Because all in German, there's
multiple investigations inquiries, I should say, going
on in in German Parliament against this collective outfit,
who are given money by the left wing parties to build this whole
narrative that the AfD is a bunch of Nazis.
John C Dvorak: You're but you're banking on these clips? Not from
this guy. But yes, and that's obviously what's going on
because this is a populist party. Just like what's going on
everywhere else in the world, because they're getting sick of
these people that are pushing everyone around
Adam Curry: 40% of the world will be voting this year and
big, like they'll all be
John C Dvorak: voting populist. That includes Trump
Adam Curry: builders in the Netherlands. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And it includes his AFD operation. Yes, who
Adam Curry: are who are clearly affiliated with the Nazi past,
unlike, you know, people getting arrested and not being able to
go to the supermarket during COVID. Remember that? They had
separate ly Oh, you can't pass the fence. You can't get you
can't go to the supermarket, the Dutch. Now you've got curfews
which they hadn't had since World War Two, come on. This did
what this is PBS that's doing this, this PBS unbelievable.
Unknown: And so what is happening politically in Germany
right now that is making them more popular.
There has been a rise again recently of asylum seekers
entering Germany from countries like Syria and Afghanistan, and
they are an anti migration party that's noticed
Adam Curry: the new term asylum seekers, this is what this is
what the term has been in Europe for a long time. We're getting
that here to asylum seekers, their sort
Unknown: of core issue. There are other issues that they're
taking advantage of the moment, energy prices skyrocketed
following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, inflation and economy
right now is sorry,
John C Dvorak: energy prices have only gone up because of
Russia's Ukraine invasion, when in fact, the Green Party's in
the greenies Deutschland managed to turn on all the new coal and
nuclear and
Adam Curry: Putin I thought it was Putin who did that?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's what he just said. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: what I'm saying was Putin remember when Putin blew
up his own pipeline? Yeah. And
John C Dvorak: Putin blown up his own pie. Yeah, give me a
break with this bullcrap.
Unknown: invasion of Ukraine, inflation, and the economy right
now is not doing well. So there is a general unease in the
population that's also helping the party and they are
particularly strong in the former East Germany, where there
is also more sympathy, perhaps for taking on a friendlier
stance toward Russia. Oh, man.
Adam Curry: All right.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, hold on a second to before you raise
anything. Yeah. The East Germans don't like Russians know
Adam Curry: they were locked. Up. So I'm like Jim Psaki. I'm
sure they have a real good team of people at PBS, don't they?
Who can say hold on a second man, you know that that's kind
of odd out of order. What you're saying there that
John C Dvorak: should have been like this guy's being
interviewed is from Politico. So it should have been the hostess.
Yes. Who should on PBS who should have or the what's his
name, the other guy who should have asked the question, wait a
minute, that doesn't make sense that East Germans generally
historically hate the Russians. Now all of a sudden, they're in
love with the Russians. Are you kidding me?
Adam Curry: So two things one, you're bumping your mic a lot.
So something something is on your standard, loose.
Something's loose, too. Now that I'm officially an elder, I think
we just need to rebrand or like, listen, kids were telling you
what to do and what not to do. This really bugged you. Yeah,
did it well, didn't it just No, it was just a realization
John C Dvorak: slap in the face. No, no, it's just the tribe
bucket of water.
Adam Curry: I'm just an old guy. I'm an elder. I'm an elder.
John C Dvorak: You're not that old.
Adam Curry: I'm an elder.
John C Dvorak: Now not an elder.
Adam Curry: I want to be an elder let me be you
John C Dvorak: will be eventually but not till you're
60 Oh, at least. Oh, so we
Adam Curry: have what? seven more months everybody? And
Unknown: of course, the flip side of rising popularity is as
we've been seeing rising opposition and more people
speaking out against them. So why are these protests happening
now? Well,
the catalyst really was this report, and combined with the
fact that the party has been rising in polls, even as it has
grown more extreme. I think this struck a nerve for multiple
reasons. This gathering, people saw echoes of the Nazi past and
some politicians even called it a Nazi Party. These protests are
ongoing, they're large, there's no sign that they're winding
down. And the people who are organizing them see themselves
really standing up for the survival of the Republic against
a very immediate threat.
Adam Curry: Are the Germans really this gullible? Do you
think though, they'll fall for this nonsense?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, why not? They fallen for shutting down
the nuclear power plants. I mean, if you go along with that,
you have to be not only gullible, but somewhat stupid.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. I'm afraid you're right. Ah, you know, when
Germany when Germany runs into trouble, as they say, in the old
country, when when Germany sneezes, all of Europe gets a
cold. Without Germany, Europe is in big trouble. But you know, of
course, the EU is now limiting cash payments. Yeah, because of
money laundering. There cbdc is coming, they'll everyone will
get UBI they'll be the first ones will will be able to watch
it from here. I'll be fun.
John C Dvorak: Well, as a little aside, even though this is going
to undo a Germany necessarily, and it has a little bit to do
with the Gaza in Ukraine. I have to Claire daily clips.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's always fun to hear from Claire. Our Irish a
firebrand.
John C Dvorak: Let's see, first one, you know, we talked about
the Hungary Hungarian situation and how the EU we went back and
forth, thinking who is you know, blackmailing who when it came to
Hungary going along with the program and allowing Sweden to
join the NATO. And Claire has a take on this, which is kind of
agrees that the two of us both of us, took different sides, but
she kind of does. Same thing about both. I thought this was
good. I
Unknown: abstained on this motion because it's the same old
familiar dance, Hungary blackmails the commission
commission blackmails Hungary, no doubt and cause another
turkey to yell at some stage and the Commission will trade away
Hungarian minority rights and judicial independence, all for a
few billion to backstop what they call their strategic
interests in Ukraine. The rule of law is really just another
weapon in the hands of this so called geopolitical commission
and this type of horse trading of course, there's problems in
Hungary and in many other areas as well. But this type of horse
trading certainly doesn't help poor for the US walrus Alex, the
people who staked their political careers on to tearing
peace in Ukraine, who cares, but reality is catching up with the
United States is rapidly losing interest in the proxy war. It
provoked and maintained just as it always does, Europe will be
left picking up this pieces just like it always is. It's not too
late for Europe to play a constructive role in what comes
next for Ukraine. But as long as frail genocide is held
constructiveness is the last thing we can hold for
Adam Curry: proud genocide. That's better than Queen Ursula,
but I
John C Dvorak: love proud proud genocide.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's a good one.
John C Dvorak: There is I have another one where she goes off
the rails but she's talking off topic, and they cut her off they
literally kill her mic. So
Unknown: far, the EU and US response to Israeli genocide has
been straight from the abusers handbook Darko deny, attack,
reverse victim an offender. And if that doesn't work, you're
just change the subject. So as the genocide in Gaza continues,
you want to talk about everything. But Gaza, you refuse
to put the item on an agenda and agenda stacked with every cliche
imaginable from Venezuela to Iran with pride of place given
to the old reliable Russian interference. So a conscious
agent seeks to signal branding Palestine protesters as Kremlin
operatives like clockwork, the dark insinuations begin in
Europe, everyone can see what you're doing. It's tedious, it's
predictable. You've been doing it since 2016 isn't going to
work anymore. The mass movement is focused like a laser on
genocide. Everyone knows it's happening. And Europe is
I'm sorry, this is debate with a title and so you should stick to
the issue. Thank you.
Shut up slave.
John C Dvorak: I say didn't cut her off earlier.
Adam Curry: Okay, so I have a couple clips here that fit right
into this. We'll start with with that last bit about the
genocide. Hillary Clinton is still out there speaking. She
was speaking at some event with our ambassador to the United
Nations. What's that lady's name? She looks like Donna
Brazil kind of in a way.
John C Dvorak: She looks like James Brown. Thank you very
much. That's my name. That's right. The people of Libya, the
people the people of Syria, the people
Unknown: free poster. Okay, that's Hillary now. Okay.
Free
Adam Curry: I encouraged Clinton think it's great. I love this.
And I've brought in Libya. Hillary with the Libya thing.
It's a Hillary What's your name? Hillary Daisy, what's her name?
She's putting her middle name.
Unknown: Thank you very much.
That's my name. No, I
Adam Curry: said something not random said something. Wrong
click Donna. It's like this has some other name in there as
another net for some reason I brought it in another middle
name. I'm not sure why. Now going back to Hungary, we have a
development there that is quite interesting,
Unknown: off to 641 days. Katelyn Novak's reign as
president of Hungary came to an end on Saturday. After being
caught up in an unprecedented political scandal. She announced
her resignation in a televised address.
As head of state I'm addressing you for the last time today. I'm
resigning from the Office of the President of the Republic.
The 46 year old had come under mounting pressure to quit after
it emerged that last year, she had issued a pardon to a man
convicted of helping to cover up sexual abuse in a children's
home, a decision that Novak described as a mistake.
By his last April I chose to grant a pardon believing that
the convicted offender had not abused the vulnerability of the
children in his care. I made a mistake.
Novak's decision to quit comes after a week of public outrage,
with 1000 demonstrators rallying outside the president's office
on Friday, demanding her resignation. Novak is a key ally
of Prime Minister Viktor Orban serving as Vice President in the
ruling Fidesz party between 2017 and 2021. becoming the first
woman to be elected president of Hungary in 2022. So
Adam Curry: I'm not quite sure how to interpret this but
because or ban you know, he just he got a lot of a lot of what he
wanted by agreeing to the 50 billion euro package for
Ukraine. I'm thinking she might have been a stooge on the inside
and he wanted her out. So now now he has full power without
unless he replaces her that that whole situation like as she led
a she let a child abuser go and it was a mistake. Yeah.
Something up with something very strange.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, something's up with Hungary by the way.
Adam Curry: It's Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton there. There's a
reason why they threw in the Diane which I'm not sure why
he's that extra insulting to her. I didn't know that. By the
way. I only knew Hillary Rodham is the Hillary Diane is there's
something I never heard assaulting about that. There's a
reason I'm sure. Anyways, Alinsky is very happy with the
with the package. He's got a big package from from your well,
he's not entirely happy. We need a little more.
Unknown: I'm grateful for your decision on the financial
instrument for for us. For our people for Ukraine, Ukraine
facility with 50 billion euros for a four year period. This is
a clear signal that Ukraine will withstand and that Europe will
withstand. It is also really important that this decision was
taken unanimously by all all of you all 27 Member States and it
is yet another clear sign of your strong unity and support of
Ukraine. Intelligence confirmed that Russia will receive a
million artillery shells from Pyongyang. Meanwhile,
unfortunately,
Adam Curry: Russia is getting missiles from North Korea okay
Unknown: receive a million artillery shells from artillery
shown young Hunger meanwhile, unfortunately I'm the
implementation of the European plan to supply 1 million
artillery shells to Ukraine is being delayed. These two is a
signal of global competition in which Europe cannot afford to
lose. And that's why today your unit is so needed in creating
the Ukraine Assistance Fund within our European peace
facility.
Adam Curry: So he wants to build up the European facility in
Ukraine to build missiles. I mean, shells ammunition Yeah,
John C Dvorak: these are what those shells are you at the
American taxpayer pays for one of those 155 millimeter shells
and let me let
Adam Curry: me guess let me guess what for one, one, I'm
gonna say $30,000.
John C Dvorak: Dollars. No, but it's still not cheap there fuck
between five and $8,000 a shell. And
Adam Curry: 10 Let's just call it 10. So that's well, they're
even
John C Dvorak: more toward the five the eight come later, okay.
But most of them are sold by middlemen and bought in Bulgaria
for 500 bucks apiece.
Adam Curry: We're in the wrong business. Man, that's good.
John C Dvorak: The Bulgarians make a lot of shells and they
sell it for 500 bucks. And we sell them for 5000 to $8,000
apiece.
Adam Curry: Oh goodness.
John C Dvorak: And who are we selling them to? We're selling
them to the American taxpayer? Yes.
Adam Curry: Yes, this is what we do. You talking about? This is
good. This is good. You had a fun little thing in the
newsletter about sunny Austin.
John C Dvorak: Sunny Austin and I its words you get some clips.
Adam Curry: I do have some clips. I have some I'd love to
hear.
John C Dvorak: I mean, the clips are funny. I didn't get any
clips was sunny. Just as a backgrounder sunny Hostin, who
purports to be a black woman. slave descendant turns out to be
the descendant of Spanish. She nudged you look at you. So yeah,
she looks like a dark skinned Spanish woman. She turns out to
be a descendants of Spanish slave holders.
Adam Curry: Well, so a little more background, as we discussed
what Moe said. All of these women just call them black
women, who are all pushed to the front. Dei. Here you go.
President of Harvard, Joy read at MSNBC, Fannie, Fannie Willis,
but also sunny Austin mo called Draw specifically said, now they
have to show that they're that they were the right choice. The
meritocracy part is coming in now. And this is just right on
cue, an amazing takedown of this woman by PBS. Here's a tip. You
should never go on the show finding my roots. This is a dumb
idea. I wouldn't do
Unknown: it Sonny's roots in Agra dia. We're about to connect
her to some painful history. Our researchers discovered that our
third great grandfather for Maine was the son of a merchant
who was likely involved in the slave trade. And for me and
himself, owned at least one human being. What's more, moving
back on this line, we found that it originates in glitziest,
Spain, evidence of Sonny's deeper ancestry and her family's
ties to Spain's colonial past. What's it like to learn this
tangible connection to Spain?
I married a Spaniard Spanish Ovation There you go. Wow. Well,
I'm I'm in a little bit of shock. I just always thought of
myself as Puerto Rican, you know, half Puerto Rican. I
didn't think I was my family was originally from Spain and
slaveholders
feeling my friend
I just like crime. I think it's actually pretty interesting that
my husband and I have shared roots. Yeah. So I do appreciate
that. And I think it's great for our children to know this
information. I guess it's a fact of life. That this is how some
people made their living on the backs of others.
Adam Curry: So a couple of things have no I love the term
owned a human. I love that not a slaveholder owned a human but
we're not done yet. You still gotta mama. We gotta we gotta
pull apart. What's
Unknown: more, Sonny's own DNA testifies to an even greater
connection. Almost a quarter of her admixture is from the
Iberian Peninsula. Oh, no effect that took Sunni by surprise.
I mean, I had no idea of the Spanish roots to this extent.
I'm still sort of shocked about the depth of the ties, I guess.
What do you say? All these white people just came up on the
ground? He hasn't come from somewhere.
I'm surprised. I mean, my mother's family does look white.
So
when you gotta get spanked
just the colonization of other people owning humans. But you
know, I'm I'm surprised that they were in slavers, actually.
Yeah. That's disappointing. And that's a
lot to do. Yeah. Has it changed anything about the way you think
of your mother?
No. My mother certainly identifies as Puerto Rican,
right. And non white actually,
Adam Curry: identifies, identifies as Puerto Ricans hate
Unknown: this for her.
She's gonna see how deeply white
Adam Curry: Oh, no, your mama deeply white? Oh, no. So, of
course, this doesn't make Sonny Halston a slave owner or make
her a bad person. Other than that, she's always been calling
for reparations. And I would say that she seems to have gotten
some nice gigs, a whole production deal based on her
black oriented TV, documentaries and projects. So let's go to the
View. And let's talk it out, shall we? So
Unknown: we're starting a little differently this morning, sonny?
You were just on an episode of finding your roots with Henry.
Yeah, and he gave me some surprising revelations about my
family history. You know, I was really reluctant. I don't know
how you felt when you did it with me. But I was really
reluctant to do it. Because I just sensed that there could be
something in my family set up. History. That would be
disappointing. Disappointing.
Adam Curry: I'm so disappointed in my disappointed I'm
Unknown: white.
Negative. Yes, I
John C Dvorak: am. Oh, shit anymore.
Adam Curry: What did you say? What did you say? I
John C Dvorak: said, I'm so disappointed. I'm white, because
I can't leverage my bullshit anymore. Disappointing.
Unknown: Negative, negative? Yes, I thought I was gonna have
that kind of moment. And skip had asked me to do it for a long
time. And I finally just who
Adam Curry: is skip? And why are you friends with him tighter to
do it?
Unknown: Because I thought it'd be helpful for my children and
my children's children to know what their real history was, you
know, but what I found out was that my mother's family while
they are Puerto Rican, they actually originate from Spain.
And the reason that they moved to Puerto Rico is because the
slave trade had been sort of canceled in Spain and then
Curacao, and then they moved all of their slaves to Puerto Rico.
And so the business the family business, I had been told that
they were printers and journalists, but they were in
fact, in slavers. In
Adam Curry: slavers, not slave owners in slavers have
Unknown: my mother fell over the deeply disappointing point. And
it's deeply disappointing because my mother really
identified as Puerto Rican. She was part of the civil rights
movement. And she was deeply ingrained in black culture and,
and identified herself as black for race. But
Adam Curry: what does she identify as Puerto Rican black?
What was she 70?
Unknown: Hispanic for ethnicity? But her race is white. She's
European. Yeah. I know. It's weird because when you look at
her, my mother is blonde and she has light eyes and my whole
family looks like that.
John C Dvorak: But she can be black.
Adam Curry: The thing is, Okay, so first of all, this identifies
as is Sunni. It's okay. You didn't own humans. You It's
okay. It's okay. Words. Whoopie calls it a bummer
Unknown: slave thing is a bummer. It's about I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: Whoopie. Bae hard hit the bomber
Unknown: I slave thing is
Adam Curry: a bummer. It's a bummer. Your face is a bummer.
And I think enrolling
Unknown: creations by the way, so y'all can stop texting me and
emailing me and saying that I'm a white girl, and that I don't
deserve reparations. That's I still believe
you I don't know who said her. In telling her she was a white
girl. Okay, it's it's it's too much people clean off your
television screen. Yeah, it's six. That's a lot.
So I still believe in reparations. I still believe
this country has a lot to do in terms of racial justice. But
what I will say, Sarah, to your question is that I feel that I'm
enriched by knowing
Adam Curry: that history you want of us girl,
Unknown: I'm enrich. And I'm enriched by knowing that my
family has come so far from being in slavers to my mother
marrying my father. Oh, I
Adam Curry: see. As long as you marry someone black, it's okay.
If your ancestors were a slave holder, I feel enriched and
rich. You're not responsible for the slaves in Oh, you're not
responsible for what they did? She says, Well, I'm what
Unknown: I did. And I was hoping they'd find out was related to
Mussolini or something. Like that came up. My
Adam Curry: word.
John C Dvorak: Can't Rachel Dolezal or whatever name it
comes to mind.
Adam Curry: I mean, can't you just can't you just say, Hey,
okay, it's all right. You know, it's all right. You're not
responsible for for something that happened hundreds of years
ago. You know, but you do have to pay now obviously, sonny, you
got to join in the payments, and you can't take any payments
because you're white deeply or moved to San Francisco. Maybe
you can still get a good deal
Unknown: controversial, Kaylee for two reasons. One people
receiving your tax dollars with no requirement they work and
secondly, should they be getting that money based solely on skin
color. The lawsuit says San Francisco and California
illegally give out millions each year to minorities and trans
women based solely on race and gender identity through these
three programs. The black economic equity project hands
out 500 A month exclusively to young Black Bay Area residents.
The guaranteed income project for trans people that pays 1200
hours a month provided black, indigenous Latino and
transgender right and the abundant birth project gives
$1,000 a month solely to pregnant black and Pacific
Islander women. Each
of these three programs qualifies and disqualifies
individuals from participation and benefits based on their
race. That's what they do.
The birth project defends the age saying black Pacific
Islander women have higher rates of premature birth.
This risk is primarily due to racism, both structural racism
and the racism that birthing people and mothers experience
when they're interacting with physicians and other medical
providers. Still,
critics say it's illegal to exclude white and Latino women,
especially those with higher risk of complication. Now Mayor
London breed supports all three programs, though none require
work example. The $1,200 stipend will be provided to participants
so they may focus on their basic physical and mental health and
wellness without worrying about income according to gift. So all
three programs Kay Lee declined interviews. The Mayor's office
says the programs are legal and they look forward to going to
court. Yeah,
Adam Curry: the answer of course is not to take that money away
but to give it to all people. California UBI incoming Ah,
yeah, we
John C Dvorak: got nothing but money here.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you guys are loaded on the board trains
Unknown: good. Planes bad.
Adam Curry: Oh, such a controversy, controversy. Oh my
goodness, we have to weigh the passengers. Oh, we need weight
and balance. Everybody's all up in arms about fin air. This
morning
Unknown: the Scandinavian airline fin air inviting
passengers to be weighed in along with their carry on
baggage. The airline says the goal is to collect anonymous
data on average weight of passengers with their hand
luggage for the purpose of aircraft balance and performance
calculations that are needed for the safe operation of flights.
So far. 600 passengers have volunteered for the survey,
airlines use an average for male and female and for summer and
for winter. And you need to correct those every now and then
especially if the population has gotten a bit more punchy. It
turns out the airline has been doing this since 2018. And it's
completely voluntary. It's not uncommon for some international
airlines to do wait surveys every few years required by
their governing bodies every five years you figured the
population changes a little bit weight. And that's why these
chests are needed. And Finn air is not alone Air New Zealand
weighed more than 10,000 passengers last June air in New
Zealand calling the survey essential to the safe and
efficient operation of the aircraft and that the pilot
needs to know the weight and balance of a loaded plane before
takeoff. And Korean Air did it in the fall saying collecting
this data was crucial for the safety of flight operations. It
is
Adam Curry: just a survey It's opt in. But of course, you know,
this is just crazy. We can, we can, this is 20 Another
John C Dvorak: way I feel about it go. People should be charged
based on their weight.
Unknown: And again, this is completely voluntary. Nobody has
been forced to step on a scale but when this happened it of
course certainly triggers a lot of good questions, maybe even
some anxiety from a lot of people. But Robin, you had a
good solution, just put the whole plane on a scale.
Volunteer means you're not getting the information that you
need. So when everybody's on board, isn't there some way
technology you can I mean, 2024 we can figure that out. Because
as John said, we're getting punchy.
Adam Curry: Do Yeah, so we put the whole plane on a scale note
the weight and balance is incredibly important. We
understand your your take on it. Now. I'm going to connect this
to another story which is a director of the story, but
weight and balance is very important people.
Unknown: The investigation is just getting started into a
helicopter crash in San Bernardino County that killed
six people. The crash happened around 10 o'clock last night
east of the 15 freeway near hell Lauren springs. The crash site
is known for an abandoned gas station with a sign that says
low gas and eat. It's very close to the California Nevada border
about the 80 miles better effect from Las Vegas. The Eurocopter
EC 120 took off from Palm Springs airport was headed to
Boulder City, Nevada, but it never made it. The CEO of one of
Nigeria's largest banks was on board. Herbert Woodway, was
killed along with his wife and son. Their identities were
confirmed by an official with the World Trade Organization.
The National Transportation Safety Board is on scene to lead
the investigation. One thing to look at is the weather
conditions.
It was reported by witnesses that there was rain with some
wintry mix. We currently have a meteorologist working on our
team and we're working to analyze and get the exact
weather conditions at that time.
The helicopter was not equipped with either a flight data
recorder or a cockpit voice recorder. A preliminary report
on the crash will be released in a couple of weeks. The final
report could take anywhere from 12 to 24 months.
Adam Curry: So the banking CEO was on his way to the Super Bowl
that was or at least that's the report. This is interesting to
me because in 2001 I owned a Eurocopter 120 I know a lot
about it. I've flown it myself. No doesn't it's this is a
relatively it's a single engine turbine helicopter. It's quiet
because as the patented Eurocopter enclosed fin for the
tail rotor does not have a data recorder for flight cockpit
recorder. It actually runs on Windows NT which I never liked
when you start the helicopter. You got to boot screen for NT
3.1. But the second report, which is a report which is I'm
going to presume the reporter got the information from the
from the from the charter company tells me something was
very wrong,
Unknown: I would assume is Reporter Lee and Souter joins us
live from Burbank with the latest on the investigation.
Leanne
Tory that helicopter was operated by Orbitz air base here
at the Burbank airport of pilot as well as the Safety Pilot
we're on board along with four passengers one of them the head
of a major Nigerian
Adam Curry: bank. Okay, this is a five seat helicopter pilot
copilot or she called Safety Pilot and three in the back if
there were four passengers you are overweight so besides flying
in wintry conditions, some somebody did something very
wrong here and I will wait for the NTSB report or maybe they're
just full of crap and they don't know. But it makes and also
Safety Pilot. That's usually when when an owner is flying
himself the whole thing is sketchy or they just wanted to
kill
John C Dvorak: it was sketchy to me is there's a dead banker
Adam Curry: who just wanted to kill a banker as possible
John C Dvorak: as possible. A Nigerian yes a
Adam Curry: day record. Today record is not good. So he has
John C Dvorak: something to do with the Nigerian banking scheme
couldn't be and he is murdered.
Adam Curry: I think I think I got an email from him some
point.
John C Dvorak: I got one too. Funny thing.
Adam Curry: Hey, do you remember that report? Was it your report
about the heads? Like some some outfit where they just had heads
on tables? You remember that?
John C Dvorak: heads on and tables? You're thinking that
Futurama
Adam Curry: No no, no, no, no, there was some report you had we
were laughing I think we even became a show title. It was like
the guy had heads every heads cut baby's heads cut off or
something.
John C Dvorak: Oh snap one of my gruesome reports. Well, then
here's
Unknown: mine. The biological Resource Center was essentially
running a chop shop up for human body parts mixing, matching and
selling them in ways we've never heard of, until tonight
described as unsettling, but it sounds a whole lot worse one FBI
agent revealing what it was really like inside the Phoenix
body donation facility. In 2014. He saw everything from buckets
of heads, arms and legs to coolers filled with severed
penises when the FBI raided the building
confused and angry. We thought this was going to be doing some
good he
even thought it a smaller head sewn onto a larger torso in a
quote Frankenstein manner
he wasn't nutrients we made wasn't a choice the needs of
families made
body parts piled on top of each other inside biological
resources. Were families donated their loved.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, what was the name of this restaurant
again?
Unknown: In a quote Frankenstein manner,
it wasn't nutrients we made was an interesting use of families
made body
parts piled on top of each other inside biological Resource
Center, where families donated their loved ones for medical
research, discoveries
of sickness and disease, maybe come up with a cure.
Some say the company violated everything they promised tragedy
that's never resolved, and it just keeps going on and deeper
and deeper
dilemmas. According to that agent with no apparent
identification. The company sued months after the FBI raided
families claiming their loved ones weren't treated with
dignity and respect, a promise written on their own consent
forms. The company also accused of selling body parts for profit
after saying they'd only use the parts they needed and would
cremate the ones they didn't and return them a torso with a head
apparently went for 2400 bucks bargain a leg about 1100 Didn't
even sell knees and feet alone for under 500. News everyone.
Adam Curry: Man, what is going on in Phoenix?
John C Dvorak: This is a weird story. I'll give you a clip of
the day for digging that went out. Thank
Adam Curry: you. This one deserves a lot more attention I
think. I want to know who was ordering a body with a smaller
head sewn on. On what is
John C Dvorak: a whole bucket of penises. I think that's a good
one and we're worried
Adam Curry: about Jeffrey Epstein. What's going on in
Phoenix people what is happening? What is going on?
That's just just I think we need to go look at Taylor Swift.
Unknown: We all need to calm down and I'm not talking about
the podcast I'm talking about having Taylor Swift here. Yeah,
Adam Curry: my goodness. Hey, I have a Super Bowl Super Bowl
clip, Super Bowl clip bought a sports ball and then we can talk
about the big games.
Unknown: In a metropolis once known as Sin City. The biggest
sin heading into Sunday evening Super Bowl is not knowing that
this guy number 87 Is the boyfriend of Taylor Swift.
Number 87 has a name Travis Kelce. Star in American football
tournament for the Kansas City Chiefs and a star for answering
repeated questions about his love life.
Why do you think everyone's so fascinated with you too? I think
the values that we stand for and just you know who we are as
people.
Kelsey support extends to Taylor Swift Fans Swifties half a world
away. Tokyo hosted the last of four sold out concerts Saturday
evening.
Adam Curry: Monday we hadn't really watched American football
until now. But because Taylor's boyfriend place finally watched
it.
Unknown: We did the question on so many lips after this last gig
and Tokyo will a private plane get her back in time to as she
has in the past. Join other players girlfriends wives and
family for the game WAGs she should make it and that's good
news even for those who don't count themselves as Swifties
John C Dvorak: she will be in the house in the building for
the Super Bowl but I mean, I love I
Unknown: think her attending will bring in new eyes to the
sport I
think there will be a lot of women who will probably shift
their attention to football
we should all be so lucky that we'd have a significant other
wanted to support us in our job right.
Adam Curry: It would be nice if our families listened to our
show John right. Be honest about it. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well yeah, sometimes they do.
Adam Curry: So I like I liked that they they brought the WAGs
acronym to America. Although they sit in reverse order, you
know in the UK, it's always WAGs wives and girlfriends. She's now
a WAG I think we should we should perpetuate that mean wag
so yeah, I think NFL benefits there's it's good very very good
progress.
John C Dvorak: It was done as a publicity stunt. Let's face
reality.
Adam Curry: Well, shall we get into the bedding because I've
learned a lot from CBS evening news about proper bets and then
no prop
John C Dvorak: bets only maniacs take dose. If this
Unknown: was the Super Bowl of news stories, I bet anything
that people would bet on anything from how many words
I'll say to whether I'll gesture bar with my left hand or my
right. And when I eventually throw this ball will make dog
catch it. These are called prop bets. And in football, it means
betting on anything other than the final score of the game. How
big is this gotten? It's gotten much, much bigger than than even
the game. Rufus Peabody is a professional better, and co
founder of unabated sports. Why do you think the proliferation
of this? I think because people have shorter attention spans now
than they used to? We want the game to be more like a slot
machine and we do a sporting event. To that end, you can now
bet on how long the national anthem will be. Whether or not
someone will miss an extra point. Will Taylor Swift be
caught on camera wearing a foam finger? Will she wear red
lipstick, or some other color? And my personal favorite when
the game ends? What shade of Gatorade will get dumped on the
winning coach? What color will a Gatorade bath be? Grown men have
actually been debating this all week. Young people like blue
Gatorade,
although orange orange has moved down to plus five hundreds.
And who stands to profit off all this? Aside from the Gatorade
delivery guy? The sports books, they're expecting 68 million
Americans to gamble $23 billion on the Super Bowl this year.
Industry insiders estimate about half that on these crazy side
bets. And so as we near the end of this 273 word news story,
where I have gestured more with my left hand and my right. Let
me ask you one final question. How many of you have been
waiting around just to see if my dog will catch this ball? It's
the same drama within a drama that fuels this Super Bowl
betting frenzy. Shut
Adam Curry: up. So first of all, did you get my check? No, no, I
send you the check sent to the PIO box. You always told me to
send to the PIO box not to the house. Okay,
John C Dvorak: well, eventually you
Adam Curry: should have taken the Bitcoin you would have had
10% more. And
John C Dvorak: then if I kept the Bitcoin another week, it'd
be 10% Less, okay. And it'd be 10% more then it'd be 10% Less.
Okay, that'd be 10% more okay. And then it'd be temporary. I
just rather have the cash. So well, I thank you for that if
you did, and our our classic is part of the degenerate gambler
syndrome. I've known these guys who do this, which
Adam Curry: according to news reports is now mainly in Vegas.
Certainly people over 80 years old. They're all gambling crazy.
Did you know this? No. I
John C Dvorak: didn't hear about the 80 year old
Adam Curry: dad grandma. Apparently grandma is the is the
most frequent better on sports. On the Super Bowl and prop bet
specifically, according to the Guardian, I'll give it then
John C Dvorak: I find this hard to believe. Okay. And then I've
hung out in sports books down there. I don't see any old
ladies. It just doesn't make sense. But the inveterate
degenerate gambler, they are ended this invites, which I
think and I think the two of us kind of agree on this is that
most of these games are rigged.
Adam Curry: Well, so So now we get down to the nitty gritty. Is
this peak Swift? Or is there yet another peak to come? Because I
mean, what what
John C Dvorak: we can eat it? Oh, hold on, what could there be
after this? Well, if they let's say the Chiefs win or lose the
Super Bowl is this make Taylor more or less popular? Depending?
Depending on the outcome of the game?
Adam Curry: I think she, I mean, I'm just looking at the at the
laws of
John C Dvorak: nature. Would it be set up for them to lose? So
today, we're gonna have a sympathetic Oh, poor Taylor. No,
Adam Curry: no, I'm looking at the laws of nature. The laws of
nature dictate if you use the media, which is your assertion
that they are using the media to promote themselves but to
promote the NFL that it's a publicity stunt. The law of
nature requires particularly in America, but also in the UK is
very good at it, that the boomerang comes around and chop
your head off and they and they just excoriated you and they,
they just kick you down into the mud. So of course you can then
be the comeback kid in a few years. See Oda cog.
John C Dvorak: She doesn't need to be a comeback kid.
Adam Curry: She will have if she's, if she's, you know,
bashed into the mud because she distracted Kelsey and he fumbles
the ball. The 40 Niners pick it up I think even mahomes
quarterbacks gonna pick it up he's gonna run it all the way to
the endzone wins the game mahomes
John C Dvorak: is with the chiefs.
Adam Curry: Oh shoot wrong sports team
John C Dvorak: always comes out
Adam Curry: my basic thesis remains Do you think she's going
to be on the quarterback
John C Dvorak: of the other team wouldn't be picking it up would
not be we wouldn't be on the field. I gotta be a defensive.
Adam Curry: We all know I'm not a sports ball guy. But I am
feeling I am feeling of loss for the chiefs. I'm Taylor getting
blamed for it. That's it's just the law of nature. Now, it could
happen that we're not at peak swift yet. And then what?
John C Dvorak: Okay, the every time you say that, I'm going to
ask the same question. How can how if this isn't going to be
peaks with you? What will be I don't see any other opportunity.
This is right now left at the White House. She just finished
the arrows tour. Yes.
Adam Curry: So the White House at the White that's that would
be peaks with cheese when Kelsey
John C Dvorak: Irwin and she goes to the White House with
Kelsey and the rest of the team. Yes.
Adam Curry: And then they take pictures of her in the Oval
Office in the President's chair. Peaks removed. We've got to hit
it eventually. You've got to hit it eventually it nobody stays on
top forever. You
John C Dvorak: just I understand that and I'm in total agreement
with the thesis that people who overdo it with the media get
shot down to those normal chopped down as Yes, always.
Adam Curry: They always do. I don't want it for her but I'm
just calling reality.
John C Dvorak: I think we could want it for it's not a big deal.
Like she just can't afford it like Brittany's latest thing or
she's dancing in a devil's costume on Tik Tok?
Adam Curry: Or Britney man, poor Britney is a wreck. For Britney.
John C Dvorak: I had a friend who was a personal assistant to
Brittany. Really? Yeah, he is a software guy. And he is over gay
now. But he was a personal assistant. He worked for the
Britney group. And he said, that is so bad that the whole thing
is so pathetic that one day, she came up to him and said, I can't
remember his first name. But she said Do you know how I can find
it? Well, how much money is in my bank account? Okay. And he
was taken aback by that thinking holy mackerel, what are they?
They're just keeping her in the dark about everything. Oh,
Adam Curry: there was a question. It wasn't like a
riddle. It was like, Can you Can I? How can I find out?
John C Dvorak: It was a question. How did she doesn't
know how to access her bank
Adam Curry: account? No, no, she but she's been abused. This is
an abused woman.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, totally. Very abused.
Adam Curry: This is a very sad story. You ever see her dancing
on her on her Instagram?
John C Dvorak: When he was on the Instagram or Tiktok
recently, and this Delos guy didn't see that? Well. It just
came out. Oh.
Adam Curry: I just showed up in your timeline. No,
John C Dvorak: it showed up. I think it showed up on no agenda.
No. Social you haven't seen the one day I was in? I think I was
in Singapore. Yeah. I was in Singapore. And there were these
pictures of some model all over the there's like a, like a
elevated train or something in the element pole poster, this
huge picture of this gorgeous model. And I said, What Who is
this woman? I've never seen her before. And the guy says to me
is Dr. Mirror and he says oh, that's Britney Spears. I've seen
Britney Spears. It doesn't look anything like Britney Spears.
But it was they had her made up with a really dark eyes and it
was just a spectacular look. And it's just as though this woman
probably had to cash flow for her must have been unbuilt. It
still must be but she's been just totally robbed. Yeah, yeah,
it's a sad story.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna go to before we take our break, I want
to take a quick little trip to what's happening with with
China. So the all the sheriffs were called to Washington DC
earlier this week. And they all came back with a similar report
including our sheriff here in Gillespie County. Remember,
Unknown: I've told you this, and I don't want to be this is not
our sheriff by the way. This is Butler County was a Chicken
Little that says the sky is falling. And nobody believed
him. And I want to tell you that it's going to happen
here. Sheriff Richard Jones believe terrorists are living
among us already. This concern is being raised after he heard
the FBI Director speak to sheriffs from across the country
last week after hearing those remarks. He believes in attack
is coming and he's said some attacks have already started in
the form of cyber attacks. And they're coming after his
department daily. I was
told today, that five times a day China tries to hack our
computer system. Butler County, Ohio, just as county in the of
one of
3300. Immediately upon his return from Washington, DC, the
sheriff started making changes. He's ordering more ammunition
for his officers. And he's also stocked each sheriff's cruiser
with an AR 15. On top of that, he's ramping up the citizen
police academy training sessions. We
want you to be concerned now, you're a fool if you don't
listen to the chatter. And when the federal government says it's
they're here. And it's common. We want to educate them and
we're going to increase our citizens on patrol. And we're
going to be the police.
The sheriff has concerns about hacking, tampering with the
sheriff's office, the board of elections, the power grid, and
cell towers. Don't
have to believe me at all. If you want to. You don't have to
be trained in firearms. When we call you you can go hide in your
basement, build a safe room. Good luck for you. So
John C Dvorak: what guy sounds just like Lindsey Graham.
Adam Curry: So what this is about is on the heels of the of
this speech, which I think actually this is 10 days ago
February 1 Tonight,
Unknown: the FBI Director sounding the alarm about Chinese
efforts to attack American power grids, transportation systems
and communications networks.
John C Dvorak: China's hackers are positioning on American
infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real world
harm to American citizens and
Adam Curry: communities. This is a very underreported testimony
Unknown: and Christopher Ray announcing a major takedown of a
Chinese hacking operation on American soil. Dubbed volt
typhoon
John C Dvorak: working with our partners, the FBI ran a court
authorized on network operation to shut down volt typhoon and
the access it enabled steps. China was taking in other words
to find and prepare to destroy or degrade the civilian critical
infrastructure that keeps us safe. And prosperous.
Unknown: Ray and other officials say China poses the world's
greatest cyber threat, and they warned that Americans remain
vulnerable. US cybersecurity chief Jen easterly describing
the devastating impact of a potential massive Chinese cyber
attack telecommunications
going down so people can't use their cell phone. People start
getting sick from polluted water. Trains get derailed air
traffic control system port control systems are
malfunctioning. This is truly and everything everywhere. All
at once scenario.
Easterly said China believes that sort of cyber attack would
crush any American will to defend Taiwan from a Chinese
invasion. In a statement to NBC News a Chinese government
spokesman denied China hacks into foreign networks calling it
irresponsible criticism.
Adam Curry: Okay, what is this about? They're scaring people
probably unnecessarily seems a little odd that they're going to
take down cell phone water plans air traffic control, it's not
like polluted water somehow like it was one switch you throw in
everything goes down and then scaring these Lindsey Graham
Podunk sheriff's into believing that China's hacking your your
very own computer systems of course, five times a day that's
nothing five times a day is nothing we get 50,000 pings from
all over the world every day. Yeah, at least and it's all just
bought remember
John C Dvorak: that program that used to be sold it was like a
shields up kind of a thing and it will use a bit in the corner
would tell you how many people were trying to attack you oh the
pew pew map No, no, not that pew pew Matthews a product on your
own computer. And it was just show a just a laundry list of IP
addresses coming in hitting your machine. And it was just never
ending it was just like one after another after another
after another was like by the end of the day there were at
eight people somebody in the zone alarm is being visited zone
alarm. Yes. Yeah. And it was just constant because that's
what's goes on that's what five times why
Adam Curry: is the FBI why are they doing this? I mean it's
it's week cycle has something to do with Iraq. Okay, six weeks
cycle and then you know, they they got volts typhoon
John C Dvorak: G's, whatever that is. And
Adam Curry: maybe it's to beef up military industrial complex
purchasing for the Taiwan invasion or whatever. I mean, I
don't like it.
John C Dvorak: Now the whole thing if I had never even heard
that this was news to me. So they're doing a shit job.
Adam Curry: That's what I'm saying this well, this. I think
that's why they pulled all the sheriffs in because this was
February 1, when we I didn't play this report at the time but
we had it as NBC Nightly News. So because they
John C Dvorak: can't get enough people worked up about it
because I think I think there's enough computer literate people
that just soon as you say the Chinese are trying to attack us
five times a day. You have to roll your eyes. Yeah. Yeah. So
if they're going to try to attack us, it's going to be
10,000 times an hour.
Adam Curry: What people really should do is just never watch
any news at all. Listen to us. Twice a week. Just listen to us
once a week. You'll get all the news, you'll find out what's
going on. Is true by People magazine curl up with a glass of
Chardonnay, by the way people magazine it's like it's only 10
pages. Have you seen this thing in the supermarket? No, I
haven't. Oh, it used to be the Bible. And now it's just a
little thing little thin. It looks like 10 Maybe 20 pages top
and it's always got a celebrity with cancer on the front Wow,
it's really bad is bad No, I mean, people editor don't worry
about it. This is all just meant to spin you up and you know
what? I'm saying this is an elder so so here you go again,
so you can rest you
John C Dvorak: can write an elder that's it. Showtime the
elder There you go.
Adam Curry: Here's something we should be worried about. This
Unknown: is how Hong Kong rings in the Year of the Dragon 1000s
of people flocked to this famous temple to offer their first
incense at the altar at midnight to mark the very beginning.
Lunar New Year,
Adam Curry: it's Lunar New Year, John. That's how it started last
time as a traditional
Unknown: ritual worshipers believe that the earlier they
make their offerings, the better luck they will have in the year
ahead. So
Adam Curry: everyone's traveling around China traveling around
the world going to Italy. Remember that was wasn't
everything wasn't the spread of COVID being blamed on the Lunar
New Year traffic? No, they cut it off. Or they did cut it off.
Well, how come they let them go this time? Because they
John C Dvorak: did Chinese have this tradition of taken off and
lunar near New Year. They're just like the number of travel
miles they run through is unbelievable. Well, I have one
hope that door plugs? Yes. Okay. Besides the meta AI,
Adam Curry: I want to I want you to do the right
John C Dvorak: let's play this is meta versus AI versus PBS
earlier this
Unknown: week as the 2024 election campaigns picked up
steam. Mehta announced it would start labeling AI generated
images that appear on Facebook, Instagram and threads to help
users better judge what they're seeing. In December, an advocacy
group called Free Press said meta YouTube and X have rolled
back a total of 17 policies intended to protect against hate
speech and misinformation. Oh,
Adam Curry: so they finally have AI that can identify AI.
John C Dvorak: Well, hold on. First of all, how does this this
is this whole beginning of this whole premise for this report is
a non sequitur. Yeah, he's talking about meta at helping
the public by identifying AI images on the on its site, and
then it switches so they're not doing anything.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the stock will be 800. Before you know it.
Unknown: The group also said layoffs. If the three companies
make it harder to enforce the safeguards that remain, oh, we
need some government money. Katie Harbeth is the chief
global affairs officer at duco, which is a technology consulting
firm. She's also a former public policy director at Facebook.
Katie, this announcement from Mehta how big a deal is that?
How helpful is this going to be? And is it enough?
So I think that this is just one of many important steps that all
have to take when thinking about safeguarding elections, not only
here in the United States, but around the globe. And so we are
facing new challenges with AI as well as existing challenges that
have been around for a long time, such as missing
disinformation, foreign interference, transparency
around political ads. And I think one of the challenges as
we go into this cycle, is that that question of whether or not
these platforms are prepared is we just don't know because they
are also putting in a lot of investment. They're making a lot
of changes, as you mentioned, but we also don't know the
twists and turns that await for us over the course of this next
year. And so the real question, the real proof of this will be
how these companies act as these different elections happen. And
as we see different forms of nefarious interference happen,
Adam Curry: you know, now that Zuckerberg got spanked, maybe,
maybe they're wising up a little bit and it's like, you know,
maybe we should be doing some AI for one of these teams. Or be
labeling stuff that's real is fake.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what that's gonna happen for sure.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, the White House just announced
they're going to cryptographically verify
official communication comes as AI deep fakes surge. So the I
guess they're putting their press releases on the
blockchain. This year.
John C Dvorak: They're gonna use micro dots.
Adam Curry: See a surge in blockchain? Sam Altman Raceway,
they
John C Dvorak: got part three of this. Oh, I'm sorry. This
Unknown: is one of the biggest open questions for me. Many of
the some of the platforms such as meta have actually announced
things that they're doing for the upcoming Indonesian
elections for the Mexico elections coming up. But they're
just not being as transparent about that, and what that means
around the globe. Traditionally, we have seen just a lot more
time, money and effort put into the English language into
elections in the US and the EU. And I am worried that so much
attention is going to get sucked into those elections that we
will forget about these elections all around the globe,
that will have just as much impact in terms of the future of
the global world order. And how many Oh, no on everything from
from climate change to other geopolitical issues.
John C Dvorak: Climate change, turn
Adam Curry: off your televisions, people shut down
your social media accounts. Don't look at it. Just look at
the floor. The spinning will go away. It's okay. It's okay. Sam
Altman is really smart though. He is now raising quote
trillions of dollars to build AI chips. That's where the money
is. In in raising money not I don't think the
John C Dvorak: No that's your you nailed it. Yeah, embrace.
The money is raising money is in raising money. And then
Adam Curry: the big news, Google barf, no longer known as Google
barf. It's now Gemini. They've they've they've rebranded to
Gemini.
John C Dvorak: What was it before?
Adam Curry: Barf?
John C Dvorak: That was a bar
Adam Curry: that was barred. Google barred we dubbed it barf.
Okay, but but but check it out. So Gemini, you can use Google
Gemini. But then if you really want to use it, you have no
business model that you Oh, you gotta get Gemini Pro for $20 a
month. I mean, there's no business model. Yeah, they're
doing like premium content. If you want the real deal, you got
to you got to get on board you got to buy it. I don't think
this is a very good idea. These guys know how to do advertising.
That's their business still, isn't it?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's their whole damn Yeah, how
they're gonna do it so well. Every time they trade they
venture off into something else they get all jacked up about it
they make a little money like a very low margin money and then
they said this is no good we can't get by with this low
margin money. Let's cancel it and screw everyone who adopted
it.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
courage say in the morning to you the man who bought the see
and committing journalism say hello to my friend on the other
end and we're only missing John's
John C Dvorak: morning yo, Mr. Adam curry in the morning little
chips and seal boots on the ground feet in the air subs in
the water dams and nights out there. And
Adam Curry: in the morning to all the trolls and the troll
room. Hello, trolls. Hold on. Let's see last Sunday, we had
2123 currently 2045 So we're down down a little bit down a
little bit but it's a Sunday.
John C Dvorak: We talking about Africa.
Adam Curry: Oh my god. I had I had Africa clips. Well, we did
we Yes. We talked about the Nigerian guy. Boom. That's why
we talk about the Nigerian guy. There's African guy killed in a
helicopter tune in now. Hello there trolls. We love you. We
love you being here in our troll room listening to the ChIAT. And
to the shy to the show live the shy of the shy of llove s right?
I'm really confused today. It's a Super Bowl Sunday. I'm all
jacked up. It's all crazy. So what's going on?
John C Dvorak: Trying to watch this game? Yeah, of course.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna watch the game. How
John C Dvorak: could I watch all those ads? Because every ad you
have the ad for this year Super Bowl is $7 million for 30
seconds.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's a little bit more than most podcast ads.
They were the ads on Joe Rogan show. There's no ads.
John C Dvorak: I have not brand safe,
Adam Curry: but I haven't heard well. It's supposed to be $250
million. I haven't heard an ad yet. Maybe on Spotify, but I
don't think he's in every podcast app now. Which is cool.
I now you know, because I wasn't really a Spotify guy. Anyway, $7
million. Now I'm more interested in the halftime. I like the
spectacle. The television event itself. I
John C Dvorak: hate the halftime show. I always think it's lame.
It's lip synced. It's garbage.
Adam Curry: I like the television production of the
Superbowl itself. I like the how the game is done. I like the
technical events they put in there like the camera shots they
do. I'm always very it's really a the pinnacle of television.
Well, I'll
John C Dvorak: tell you the pinnacle of television for me
recently, and I have to do this, Sir, the thing you be ever
interested in even watching, but I caught most of it or not most
of it a lot of it. Yeah. And it was called the NFL honors
awards.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're right. I would not watch that. No. It
John C Dvorak: was so unbelievably produced. It looks
like I'd say if you were in the year 2500. And you were watching
TV, this is what it would look like, Oh, now I have to go back
and look at it. You can find it. I mean, it was spectacular. And
if it doesn't win some sort of an award, it won't buy the Emmys
or somebody's an Emmy show. So I mean, it's an Emmys category. I
don't know what they're thinking. It was just amazing.
was so well done. I mean, it's just I've never seen anything as
good.
Adam Curry: Are people still yakking about the Superbowl
commercials? They show them all ahead of time? I haven't looked
at anything.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Not as much as they did. 10 years ago.
Adam Curry: Any what's Bud Light doing bud? Lights got to do some
big. Okay, they
John C Dvorak: got a couple of humorous commercials. They're
going back to
Adam Curry: humor. Yeah, they do some self deprecating humor. And
they're smart. If they're smart. Well, they're
John C Dvorak: not that smart. And then there was an American
brand. Oh, these poor American brands being no no, no, no, I
had a bunch of Belgium. No,
Adam Curry: that's what Trump is saying. Trump is saying don't go
too hard on Anheuser Busch because farmers you're not
seeing this. No. Yeah, he posted that to Anheuser Busch uses a
lot of extra is interesting. I think it's a lot of barley or
hops. I think Anheuser isn't Budweiser made from rice?
John C Dvorak: I think it's rice. And I think it's rice
barley. Well hops for sure. You have to ya gotta
Adam Curry: have hops. Oh, yeah. No, he was like, Whoa, don't be
so harsh on Bud Light. You are
John C Dvorak: using a lot of local products, but it's still a
Belgian company. Yes.
Adam Curry: Well, he wasn't toting the American nature of
the business. He was touting the American farmers that produce a
lot of barley for the beer. That was that's what he was saying.
So Alright, anyway, trolls thank you for being here. We

today because I finally got a hold of the board dose superior
2021 Ah, yes,
Adam Curry: this is your value for value commentary. This is a
wine tip from JCD.
John C Dvorak: So this wine comes out. People have just been
out for a few months, but it finally came into my Costco. And
I was you know, Pooh poohing the idea of this is going to be any
good because 2020 was not a great year in Bordeaux, but I
think they did a selection which is a term they use in the
business for you know, being very careful with grapes you use
to try to make a good wine from a mediocre vintage. And, you
know, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't
think I'm gonna get a case of it. But I can't say that is
terrible.
Adam Curry: Okay, what's the price? 798
good price. I was talking to someone just about this the
other day. They mentioned that. Hey, you guys always have the
Costco tips. Yes, right. Usually my you must be a donation
segment listener. Why yes, I am. He said, No. That's value.
John C Dvorak: That's value Ordos. Superiore 2021 Check it
out. It is a little light in the mid palate, but except for that
it's drinkable.
Adam Curry: For all you mid palate drinkers out there, be
warned. So there's many ways you can give value back time,
talent, treasure, you can do things for the show. You can
promote the show you can I mean, we have people to We're running
servers for the show all kinds of things. Doing meetups,
arranging meetups. Our artists are the ones who really go all
out during the show they listen live, create artwork right after
we're done right after we closed down the show, we immediately
start doing credits and look for a piece of art. And we want to
thank you areas comics or Blogger. If you persevere
eventually, eventually you'll get there and he brought us the
artwork for episode 1632 titles king for a day, and he had there
were some commentary on the dog but we liked the Pomeranian and
he had the simple Don't eat me Obama, right since we know that
Obama ate dogs as a kid. Little known fact except here on the
best podcast in the universe, and it truly was the best piece
I'm gonna take a look and see what what we have what choices
we had you have the Art Generator up as well. Let's take
a look. Thank you, Sir Paul couture for the Archon right
another great piece of value for value. And it was no GI Joe. But
it was it made us laugh. I mean, we both just laugh we couldn't
help but laugh look at a piece
John C Dvorak: there's a cute piece he's what else was up
there? There's nothing
Adam Curry: but we had the SEAL Team 33 Universal Music Group

Spotify, why we even show their logo
John C Dvorak: isn't happening now. No,
Adam Curry: it comics are blocked. A Taylor Swift peaks,
we're not going to put Taylor Swift on her honor album, Mart.
That's just not going to happen.
John C Dvorak: For more than one reason. Why don't you name them?
Well, the main reason is you can't use celebrity pictures to
advertise a product that you're doing no matter what you think.
And you can't. And it doesn't and all that fair use rules
don't necessarily apply. You just can't do it. Right.
Adam Curry: So people are already putting Taylor Swift out
there for this show. It's not gonna happen. It's just not
gonna happen. Thank you very much comics for Blogger. We
appreciate all of our artists who do this work. It's not easy
it's a it's often thankless because you know, you we can
only pick one and we do pick one. So the next best thing is

last show. So I have the coyote
John C Dvorak: story. This is a good one. Oh, in Waukesha
County,
Unknown: a coyote nearly died after getting stuck in the most
unlikeliest of places. 12 news Erica Tinky shares Hall wildlife
rescue center gave the animal a second chance at life
in unusual discovery in the snowy backyard of a Muskego
homeowner, a coyote with her head stuck in a statue. No,
After chasing a rabbit, not being able to free herself for
more than 24 hours. The person ultimately called for help
noting the creature was attached to a statue of St. Francis of
Assisi. That's
the patron saint of animals and we can't make that up. I think
there was some divine intervention there divine
intervention says rescuer Kim Banik because the coyote was
desperately in need of care.
She was in shock and hypothermic so she didn't really have any
fight left on her. She was you know, she would have definitely
died. The staff at the
wildlife and needs Center took to her quickly leaving naming
her Frannie after the st while she recovered,
all you could see was no broken bones, which was a good thing,
because that's a lot longer to fix.
After more than two weeks and treatments,
the wildlife and needs center felt Franny was ready to go back
home and it's the while
anytime it's a release as a best case scenario. That's our goal
is to always release and back into the wild. Give them that
second chance at life. Because they all deserve to live.
Adam Curry: Oh my goodness. They all deserve to live.
I will say the good news segment is a hit. People love it. They
do they love it. They love it. They love it. They love it. It's
just good news. I mean, what more do you want? Good news. And
here's some good news. We'll be back on Thursday. Oh,
John C Dvorak: that is good news. That's
Adam Curry: very good news. I'm excited about that. And of
course we'll have a report and your Valentine's wishes.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's Valentine's show to Valentine's
Day show. So people should consider putting a happy
Valentine's message out there. Nothing
Adam Curry: says I love you. Like donating to no agenda. And
the people who donate and no agenda together, stay together.
