John C Dvorak: Here's a picture of my food. Adam curry, John C.
Devora.
Adam Curry: February 15 2024. This is your award winning
combination media assassination episode 1634. This
Unknown: is no agenda, ready
Adam Curry: to serve and broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas little country here. Reason number six, eight
in the morning, everybody.
John C Dvorak: I'm Adam curry from Northern Silicon Valley,
where we've noticed a lot of people with kind of smudges on
their forehead. What's going on? I'm Jhansi Dvorak
Adam Curry: scale. Well, you as the lapsed Catholic of all
people would know exactly what's going on.
John C Dvorak: I know exactly what's going on. Yeah. It's a
very weird form of virtue signaling.
Adam Curry: It's Lensbaby. It's Lent.
John C Dvorak: So yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Yes. And the most
religious of the Catholics get some smudge put on their
forehead as a part of of ceremony. Isn't
Adam Curry: it across? Isn't it the ash cross?
John C Dvorak: If kinda but if you take a look at what Laura
Frau Ingraham had on hers, it was just a big thumbprint. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's what they're into. Man. That's cool.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, if it wasn't for the fact that they
shouldn't be worshipping an anti Pope, but okay. I'll let that
slide.
Adam Curry: Well, it goes along perfectly with Taylor Swift's
friend I spice.
John C Dvorak: Did you see that? Oh, tell me about this. I have
no idea. I don't keep up with this sort of gossip. Oh, man.
Adam Curry: I pray for Taylor Swift everybody. She is
surrounded by the devil. Oh, I can't believe you missed it.
They
John C Dvorak: you can't know really. You can't believe I
missed the Taylor Swift to update
Adam Curry: didn't use did where you're not watching the game.
They cut away to Taylor Swift and she's got this. She's got
this friend who I've never heard of this woman ice spice. I guess
one of the upside down evil Spice Girls is not a Spice Girl
but ice spice. And, and she sees herself on the big screen that
all of a sudden starts doing devil horns with their hands.
But she has her her thumb and her two middle fingers together.
So it looks exactly like a devil's head. And she's going
hey, I mean, that is CBS should be ashamed of themselves. I
mean, they they should have taken that out. They should have
cut it out. That was bad.
Unknown: It was real bad. It was I missed
John C Dvorak: it. I actually didn't watch much of the game.
Oh, I
Adam Curry: watched all of it up until
John C Dvorak: the end. The end. The only good part?
Adam Curry: Yeah. It was kind of the good part. The end, man.
Well, we weren't right. I certainly wasn't right about
what happened. It was a good game, though. Why didn't you
watch
John C Dvorak: our thinking back on it thinking back on it. We
have to reevaluate the decision, especially yours that you make
because you're pretty good at this and you miss it completely.
I did. Well, I mean, it's one or the other is binary. So you're
going to miss her you're not going to miss it. I think that
what we overlook was the fact that this was this Taylor Swift
gimmick for the NFL had to be rewarded at the end for doing a
good job. pat on the back. Yeah. And so they had two wins to get
now the opposite over she's gonna go off and do whatever she
does. And everybody's happy it's up to 40 Niners
Adam Curry: I'm not so sure the opposite over and first before
we even get to that I want to say that they were so smug and
happy that I got it wrong that they had to shove it in my face
with a touchdown pass mahomes is up to 333 yards. Why is that
significant? The stadium's address is 3333 out Davis way
he's never lost in this building. And they win it by
free on this touchdown throw
John C Dvorak: that got me 333333 There are so many threes
involved there at the very end they got me they got mad winning
by three the whole thing
Adam Curry: but you tweeted something out. You slashed an X
about Travis Kelce
John C Dvorak: he's miserable is slashed. Now is that what you're
calling? I
Adam Curry: made that up myself?
John C Dvorak: You slash No, because I heard it earlier. Oh,
because I made it up but that's why I heard it. I heard it in
the pre show you made it you slot
Adam Curry: you slash annex. They should take that from me.
It's a good idea. So they should
John C Dvorak: take it from you that way. They didn't take all
our other jingles but go on. Okay, what did i What did I
scare?
Adam Curry: You slashed about Travis Kelce. He's a movie that
he's producing, which is a climate change movie like this
guy. Like this guy is going to produce anything okay. All
right.
John C Dvorak: Pretty big these the big producer the new climate
change movie, but
Adam Curry: this is the OP data
Unknown: Swiss private jet travelers making headlines.
She's been accused of generating 130 tons of co2 in three months,
equivalent to 12,622 gallons of jet fuel. Sustainability
marketing firm yard found that swift and 2022 a loon released
1000 tons of co2 using her private jet. The emissions match
those of more than 1000 homes in the same year, as swift
spokesperson rejected the numbers as blatantly inaccurate
and says the singer hopes to shake it off through carbon
offsets and all carbon
Adam Curry: offsets carbon credits. carbon credits
John C Dvorak: the use of the term shake it off well,
Adam Curry: yeah, I know you that made you step on the carbon
credits bit? Well, it's
John C Dvorak: beside the point I you know, these kinds of joke
reporting is getting on my nerves.
Adam Curry: Well, I think unfortunately for Taylor and
Travis, it's all downhill from here. You Watch This is what the
media does. I'm already seeing the photo. She looks unhappy and
then questioning the hug. Was the hug a real love? Oh, you
didn't hear the questioning the hug? No,
John C Dvorak: I? Okay. That's good. Go to a quick premise
here. Okay. I have not followed any of these things that you're
reporting on. And by the way, if you were not following them, and
I was reporting on them, you'd be giving me grief at this point
to an extreme and I'm not gonna give you any grief. And this
what I'm doing right now is not grief. Okay. Well, then I'm I
want to know, you really want to know, well, I might as well
since you know, and you're gonna I don't want you to have the
upper hand. I thought
Unknown: it was I don't know if you saw the very end but a
really, really moving scene. When Kelsey really moved
John C Dvorak: I was moved to know you misinterpreted he said
really, really,
Adam Curry: really moving.
Unknown: So moving swift met up on the field afterwards really
beautiful. I thought I could have
done without, without his rendition of Viva Las Vegas. It
was very Yes, very clearly, you know, the for those who are
cynical, for those who would say think that this is just another
product of Taylor's Miss Taylor Swift's plan for world
domination that she sees this as she's has a very colorful dating
history and, and she's, she's, he's obviously a superhero.
There are those who are cynical, I say, the love play here. And I
will say this to public, the love on display, it feels very
real. And I will say whether you are a cynic or whether you
believe in the romantic side of this, the prospects of the
Kansas City Chiefs now teed up for the three P's. Anybody who's
a hater of Taylor Swift is going to be dealing with this for I
know your baby, we it's going to be Kelsey Swift. For a year
until next year,
I just want to thank at the very end John has inspired me I
wanted to thank President Biden for for the SIOP, just an
amazing rigs coordination with Pfizer this was an all time
curve, a masterful masterful saya by President vibe really?
Adam Curry: Well, okay. What hurt me would really hurt me
deeply because I knew him is private. No, I'm going to get it
I'm gonna get to my payoff in a moment is Pfizer's blatant abuse
of Freddie Mercury and Queen's song for their ad about science.
Yeah, that's horrible.
John C Dvorak: I haven't read anything about this either.
Adam Curry: Oh, they had a commercial build. And it was a
I'm gonna be a superstar student foetida that's all and that it's
just horrible. You know, Freddie's dead and then everyone
else gets the right.
John C Dvorak: Don't you think that's appropriate?
Adam Curry: Appropriate for what? That he's dead. Pfizer's
John C Dvorak: shot Freddy's Dead. Trying to give a message.
Adam Curry: It's a message people and that so they're going
after cancer next. Yeah. Yeah. What is what is the TAM Pfizer?
What's your total addressable market? You may have created
Good job. Good job. But that was nothing. Everything was
overshadowed and stopped dead in its tracks. We don't have to
talk about the President being seen now. We don't have to talk
about Tucker Carl's interview with Vladimir Putin. No, because
we've got space wars. Breaking news Russian nukes in space
nukes in space, everybody.
Unknown: Multiple sources
are telling CNN tonight that the US has new intelligence on
Russia's efforts to deploy a nuclear and by satellite system
in space, this actually comes after the House Intelligence
Committee Chair Mike Turner today raised the alarm. He
announced he's made information concerning a quote, serious
national security threat available to all members of
Congress to review. Now, keep in mind if nukes were launched the
US from space, they wouldn't be undetectable. And this news
gives ominous context to the fact that one of Putin's
mouthpieces floated this very idea on Russian state television
nine months ago, as found by Russian media analyst Julia
Davis.
I think it's time to turn up the humans. We understand that all
drones and everything else work for Americans only. Well,
Starlink exists. If we carefully launch our nukes in space, there
will be no Starlink left.
Adam Curry: So this is
John C Dvorak: all on Yes. Get ready for this. mercs in space.
Adam Curry: Thank you. Now we got that one. Yes. So this this
is obviously intended to get everyone talking about nukes and
space and forget everything else you've ever heard about the
President about what's going on? Please, nobody. Look at Jon
Stewart's to side ism. Oh my god. He's getting so burned.
John Stuart comes back to The Daily Show.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I watched the entire episode. I watched it
as well. For I didn't think it was that different than anything
he did in the past. I thought it was oh, exactly. It was but he
was about to get a quick review. All right, reserved for the
stupid beard. It's got which makes him look like like a
drunk. It was I think he brought back the old team of writers.
Yes, it was it was classic. It was exists structured just like
nine years ago. It's kind of old fashioned in that regard. It was
much better than what he was trying to do on Apple. And and
obviously better than his movie career. And it was done well and
it had everything going on. It ran over time. For some reason.
I can't figure that part out. But But what happened interview
the interview with Beddoes that woman and but it was it was a
classic. I would say if he if he dropped the last nine years and
put him right back on the air and shaved him maybe dyed his
hair. You wouldn't know that that anything changed. All
right.
Adam Curry: So what changed of course, is the audience and
there's a subtle psychological message in The Daily Show. I
don't know if you saw it. The Daily Show is now using an
acronym in their logo. Did you see the acronym?
John C Dvorak: For the good not for
Adam Curry: The Daily Show? It's the logo. T d S? Yeah, Trump
derangement syndrome. It's obvious. It's funny and and the
catch and the X is full of. I don't like Jon Stewart's to sad
isn't. That's not Cuming, Nooyi. Good, good.
John C Dvorak: Well, we're now where do you know where you're
getting this from? That I that's what everyone's views my trades.
No, no, no,
Adam Curry: I'm not the trades. I'm talking about the TDS key
did not slam Trump hard enough. You know, he's in a pretty good
No, because it was to scientism he also slammed Biden. That's a
no, no. The audience has changed. John Stuart doesn't
realize this. People hate him now. It and by the way, we both
know that he's secretly conservative. We've talked about
this for years.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. The easy, the easy, the secret old
fashioned conservative. Yeah, he's not a Trump guy, that's for
sure. But no,
Adam Curry: no, but he's a conservative and he was slamming
on Biden, you can't slam on Biden when the message is the
President is sharp.
Unknown: Gets sharp enough.
Adam Curry: It was good. It was a good little super cut. But
forget about that back to nukes in
Unknown: space yet care of what we're being told at this hour.
Two sources confirmed to ABC News that the deliberations on
Capitol Hill have to do with nuclear weapons in space. Russia
wanting to do that. This is not to drop a nuclear weapon, but
rather to possibly use it against satellites. We have one
person telling us it is very concerning. Very sensitive. This
is a big deal. It's not
Adam Curry: a big deal. This has been known for years. Even
speaker the house Johnson comes out and says this is not a big
deal. What are y'all talking about? Mike Johnson Get it
together brother. This is about covering everything up. We've
got to have a new new new thing to talk about that was ABC yet
no, that's what it is. There's nothing
John C Dvorak: another there's another element that you're kind
of overlooking
Adam Curry: nominally You mean the space race.
John C Dvorak: Now the fact that we're at this camp where did
this even began? It began out of the guys they Head of the
Intelligence Committee, he's the one who made the announcement
say on it should all be. It's all part of getting more money
to Ukraine. I'm
Adam Curry: completely, you jumped ahead of my analysis, but
that's okay. I'll skip all the,
John C Dvorak: you know, if you'd speed it up, it would
help.
Adam Curry: Let's go to France 24.
Unknown: This all starts as early on Wednesday, when the
House Intelligence Committee Chairman, tweeted, warning of,
quote, serious national security threats. Now, that Intel It was
then found out what had been made available to Congress,
people in Congress to look over in a highly compartmentalized
and secure facility. It is highly Compartmented
Information, and more details emerge later ultimately,
centered around a space based nuclear weapon designed by
Russia, which is meant to target satellites in space. Now, those
are satellites that could be used for civilian communication,
but also military communication, and military surveillance as
well. Now, so far, the United States has no countermeasure for
this kind of weapon. And it was in total, no sensitive and so
important that it was shared with international allies as
well. Now, it must be said this has been stressed by numerous
people, numerous sources, thus, it is not an immediate threat.
This is not something that's been launched, but it is
something that Russia is looking into. And I've had it confirmed
to me by numerous sources as well that this reporting is
accurate, and also that the sources have known about this
for quite some time. Congressman Milton, who is also on the
Intelligence Committee says to CNN that he'd known about this
intelligence for two years now he was saying that's Congressman
Turner, the person who leaked this information. So because he
was offended that the Biden administration hadn't told him
personally about it sooner. So some politics also coming in to
Social Security here in Washington. I
Adam Curry: am in total agreement with you. This is all
about funding, they need money, because hey, I mean, we need
money we just meet and I will prove that after we get to be
what will
John C Dvorak: be for you go on. Let me say something about that
clip. That guy who is this guy on press 24 He's he one thing he
gives himself away as a Rube by saying the word instead of
saying, Come, come, I can't even now I can't even send myself. He
says come
Adam Curry: part mented the human compartmentalised. Yeah,
and but
John C Dvorak: he said I believe he said it twice because I don't
think he knows the frog.
Adam Curry: Come on. Come on. English as a second language,
give the guy a break. Now I think there's a subtext here.
The subtext is let's SIOP everybody again, why did we
start our initial our race to the moon? Because the Russians
had Sputnik? Am I correct? I mean, I was barely alive. But
the Russians had Sputnik they were putting monkeys in space.
And now all sudden, they've got Oh, no, they're going to put
nukes in space. Well, well, well, what are we going to do?
It
Unknown: could be history in the making a private mission to the
moon has blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape
Canaveral in Florida. 321 ignition, and with American
aerospace company, intuitive machines launched it.
Adam Curry: I gotta stop this for a second. That was an
unAmerican countdown. That was the most effeminate countdown
I've ever heard. This is not what we want from our space
stuff. We want three to one, lift off instead of three to
one, lift off everybody
John C Dvorak: again, three to one, ignition. And notice that
the first time or you're writing
Unknown: on American people, American aerospace company,
intuitive machines launched its Odysseus lander on a rocket made
by Elon Musk's SpaceX company. It's trying to become the first
commercial spacecraft to successfully land on the lunar
surface. The launch was originally planned for
Wednesday, but it was postponed due to a technical glitch.
Everything went according to plan. And if the landing also
goes well, Odysseus will search for water on the moon and what
some are calling a second space race.
Adam Curry: A second space race. There it is second space race.
So how cynical can you get on Super Bowl Sunday when everybody
is looking at Taylor Swift and her devilish friends. Senate
gets together on a Sunday. They're not going to Well, we
went they take they take vacation. They take off for
anything. They take snow days. Oh, it's snowing. We can't go.
They decided it was we're not going to watch the Super Bowl.
We're not going to honor Taylor and Travis. Instead we're going
to sit there and we're going to pass a bill of $95 billion for
everything including Taiwan. But nothing for the border or we're
just going to put This together because we need the money.
Unknown: So this package used to be connected to border security,
which failed. What are the conversations in the White House
about exactly what these House Republicans want? Because if you
look at any of these packages on the face of it, it usually is
something that they would want. Yeah,
it's I wish I could answer that question. But what we can't I
mean, they said they wouldn't approve a penny for Ukraine
unless the border was tied into it. So we said, Okay. And we
participated and help with the the negotiations that are
largely done on the Senate side to get that done. And now they
say, Well, no, can't can't do it. Because, you know, for
whatever reason for whatever leadership reasons they have for
that. So it's difficult to know exactly where they are mean,
though the speaker has been twisting himself into pretzel
notch here, in terms of what he's willing to justify on any
given day. We need this funding, Kirby he the funding for the
volume, you stepped on it again, listen, yes, he's willing to
justify on any given day, we need this funding, we need the
funding for the border to but we need this funding for our
national security with Ukraine, with humanitarian assistance,
and certainly, as you rightly said, in the Indo Pacific, I
mean, these aren't, these aren't just a wishes. I mean, this is
this is actual urgent funding that's required for our own
national security. We need this
Adam Curry: funding.
John C Dvorak: What is he got a somebody have a gun to his head?
What is he blabbering on like a maniac like this?
Adam Curry: That's probably not far from the truth? Yes. Yes.
The Military Industrial Complex just wants more. They don't
care.
John C Dvorak: They don't see the writing on the wall. They
don't get thrown. They figure they're, that's they figure
that's it. Let's get as much as we can while we can. And what's
the what's the I'm one of these that Sam, one of these guys
wishes. A lot of them are women, by the way, including the head
of Lockheed. It goes like what are you guys waiting for? You
know what's going on? You know what's going to happen? Get the
job done? Yep.
Adam Curry: I have some proof that this is all about Trump.
Remember, we have this huge NATO exercise. I got my NATO clip.
Everybody's all I got to do and I want to hear you. It didn't
John C Dvorak: take jack for him to get everyone all worked up
about
Unknown: doing. Brilliant Western
leaders have criticized Donald Trump for saying he would not
protect NATO allies who are not spending enough on defense from
Russian attacks. The Republican frontrunner Trump said he had
previously told NATO states, he would encourage Russia to do
whatever they want. If they didn't fulfill their commitments
to the bloc. Trump has regularly lashed out at members of the
line out for failing to Spanish notchback percent of the
economic output on defense. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says any
suggestion that allies would not defend each other undermines
Western security.
Adam Curry: Now this is interesting. This is that was a
report from I think it was Deutsche Bella, but then listen
to this report. And what Stoltenberg actually said video
released by Ukraine Oh yeah, by the way, drones are back water
drones. The water drones.
Unknown: She was a naval drone homing in on the Russian ship
off the coast of Crimea. flashes and plumes of smoke can then be
seen. Final shots appear to show the Cesar Krunic of beginning to
sink. This was the ship sailing through the Istanbul Strait in
2020. It can carry up to 90 crew and is designed for beach
landings. No official coming from Moscow so far, but normally
reliable social media channels and intercepted radio.
Adam Curry: I love their reporting normally reliable,
normally reliable social media channels. This is This is top
notch people
Unknown: but normally reliable social media channels and
intercepted radio traffic seemed to confirm the attack would be
another serious blow to Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine has
successfully targeted its ships and harbors defeating Russian
attempts to impose a blockade on its grain exports. All right now
let's try to trump the news was hailed as a victory by NATO.
Ukrainians
have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea
Fleet. By
Adam Curry: the way, I love the fact that NATO comes out and
says hey, this is great. We're not in this war or anything.
They're not a NATO member, but it's great. It's doing great I
find
John C Dvorak: it deplorable that they would do that and now
listen to this. They're not a NATO member what are they
cheering them on? or NATO supposed to have a specific job
to do? Not getting involved in every thing every which way like
they did in Syria? Well,
Adam Curry: Stoltenberg still head of NATO has a message.
Unknown: The news was hailed as a victory by NATO. Ukrainians
have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea
Fleet. They have actually been able to It pushed the Black Sea
Fleet away from the western part of the Black Sea. And this is a
great achievement a great victory for victory. A great
defense
ministers were meeting for the first time since Donald Trump
again criticized some for not paying enough and cast doubt on
the US has commitment to their defense. But new figures on
Wednesday show 18 out of 31 members are now paying the
minimum 2% of GDP, including Germany for the first time since
the Cold War. Only five were in 2016. Just before Trump entered
the White House. The
criticism that we hear is not primarily about NATO. It's about
NATO Allies not spending enough on NATO. And that's a valid
point.
John C Dvorak: What was the punchline? I couldn't hear him
Adam Curry: that's a valid point. Oh, yeah. Funny. Yeah. I
mean, Trump is actually doing the doing the bidding of the
military industrial complex.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it makes everyone spend more money Yeah,
that's what that whole thing is. I don't know why anyone can put
two and two together and say this is good for us. Man
Adam Curry: I gotta tell you it's like people don't see it
we're not fighting the left or the right or the red or the blue
or whatever you are problems are not going to be solved in
Congress in the Oval Office. Where we're fighting the powers
of darkness like ice spice that's nice. You're not gonna
get off definitely cannot get off of ice spice that was a
screenshot of this devil's horns that she did this video is
deplorable. deplorable. All right, do your NATO clips and
then I want to get into drones.
John C Dvorak: I got a three by three.
Adam Curry: Oh my god. I wasn't even prepared for a three by
three. Yeah. What is meant by a JC what are we have
Unknown: comparing story from CDC.
Adam Curry: We've got all the headlines in the top three
networks here in the United States who drive all the
narrative thanks to the New York Times and John is going to show
us if they use the same NAT POP same NAT packages, and if it's
exact same bin, they're all fishing from you like coffee
this morning. I did. I'm jacked.
John C Dvorak: Wow, you've been drinking that canned stuff from
gigawatts that
Adam Curry: that gigawatts stuff is amazing. All right.
John C Dvorak: I got a four by four actually, because I got
Canadian in here again. But let's start with ABC and Mary
Bruce.
Unknown: Tonight, President Biden imploring House
Republicans to pass additional funding for the war in Ukraine,
saying the US has to send Russia and the world a strong message
supporting
this bill. Standing up to Putin opposing it is playing into
Putin's hands.
He says the stakes got even higher when Donald Trump said he
would actually encourage Russia to attack our NATO allies that
fail to meet defense spending targets. Just the suggestion
that Trump would support Russia attacking one of our allies,
infuriating Biden,
I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.
Biden today.
No other president Our history has ever bowed down to a Russian
dictator. Bow down. We say this as clearly as I can. I never
will. For God's sake. It's dumb. It's shameful. It's dangerous.
It's unAmerican.
The president saying House Republicans now face a stark
choice to House
Republicans. You got to decide. Are you gonna stand up for
freedom? We're gonna side with Taran Pope. Tyranny. You're
gonna stand with Ukraine. You're gonna stand with Putin. We stand
with America, or Trump. The
$95 billion which also includes funding for Israel has already
passed the Senate with significant Republican support.
But House Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to even bring it up for
a vote. He says no more foreign aid without tougher border
security measures. This though just last week under pressure
from Trump, Republicans rejected a bipartisan compromise
including the toughest border measures in decades
national security against border security
Adam Curry: all along it's quite amazing how ABC and I have a
feeling the other nowhere to the same how they just chop in a
small little tidbit of what Trump actually said which was
admitted to be true by Jens Stoltenberg of NATO the guy that
it's all about and baffling.
John C Dvorak: It is baffling it well let's go to the worst of
them then wishes NBC and Comcast owned NBC, which is the most
probably progressive group of them all for the first time. I
shouldn't mention you know, they you know, they've gone deep into
D E I and yeah, so my inner net was down last night.
Adam Curry: Oh no.
John C Dvorak: Comcast down. Luckily I have backup. For
Unknown: the first time in cluster 150 years a sitting
Cabinet Secretary has been impeached by the House of
Representatives. It was a close vote 214 to 213. And it comes
just one week after House Republicans failed to impeach
Alejandro Mayorkas. All as there's a new showdown tonight
over Ukraine, after the Senate muscle drew a massive bipartisan
$95 billion spending package in the early morning hours,
including 60 billion for Ukraine. President Biden
demanding the house pass it immediately
failure to support Ukraine, this critical moment will never be
forgotten.
Biden's slamming these comments from Trump, where he recounted a
conversation with a NATO member encouraging Russia to attack
countries who had not met their financial pledges to the
alliance.
They said you didn't pay your delinquent. He said yes. Let's
say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I
would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You
gotta pay.
Can you imagine a former president united states saying
that? The whole world heard it. The worst thing is he means
delivering this. No other president Our history has ever
bowed down to a Russian dictator. Let me say this as
clearly as I can. I never will. For God's sake. It's dumb. It's
shameful. It's dangerous. It's unAmerican.
Meanwhile, that package in the same place, so contained more
than $14 billion for Israel, but it does not include any funding
for domestic border security, after Republicans with Trump's
backing killed a bipartisan border security bill saying it
was not tough enough with Speaker Mike Johnson saying
that's the price for any new money for Ukraine. Bad
health security begins with border security.
Adam Curry: All along the same clip at the end. Okay, so with
Trump's backing, that was great. I love that there's no actual
evidence of this and what it was, you know, there was the
voting. Was he putting up
John C Dvorak: money and voting? He wasn't there. He was not
President. What are they talking about? It was something else
Adam Curry: I wanted to mention in the was it there was
something else in that clip that was totally irksome. homos
Second, do you mind if I just go back for so go review it now
almost like it was somewhere in the middle here. They
Unknown: said you didn't pay your delinquent. He said, Yes.
Let's say that happened? No, I would not protect you. In fact,
I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You
gotta fail. Can
you imagine a former president united states saying that? The
whole world heard it. The worst thing is he means and delivering
this. During rebuke. No other president Our history has ever
bowed down to a Russian dictator. critical moment will
never be forgotten.
John C Dvorak: I said bowing down any comments from
Unknown: billion for Ukraine? I don't remember what it was. But
anyway,
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry. But you probably pick it up on the
CBS report. There's no
Unknown: doubt the former president has said a dangerous
and shocking me, frankly, on American signal to the world.
President Biden leveled a blistering attack today on
Donald Trump for recently saying he wouldn't defend NATO allies
from a Russian attack. If they don't pay full do
Adam Curry: Wow, this sounds like the same guy. It sounds
like the same coin. No. And
John C Dvorak: you started playing the clip. Oh, my God.
Adam Curry: This was the same guy. Let me hear that again.
Because
Unknown: he means and delivering this blistering rebuke to the
alliance.
Let's say that happened since No, I did not protect you. In
fact, I
John C Dvorak: would wait a minute. Is that O'Keefe? That
was Ryan nobles. That was NBC same? Well, you know, they came
from the same stable. Oh, that's a lot of
Unknown: former President has said a dangerous and shocking
me, frankly, on American signal to the world. President
Biden leveled a blistering attack today on Donald Trump for
recently saying he wouldn't defend NATO allies from a
Russian attack. If they don't pay full dues to the alliance.
Let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact,
I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You
got to face you got to pay your bills.
Imagine a former president united states saying that the
whole world heard it same clip and worst thing is he means that
no other president in history has ever bowed down to a Russian
dictator. Oh
John C Dvorak: down.
Unknown: Let me say this as clearly as I can. I never will.
Oh, god sake it's dumb. It's shameful. It's on American.
The President spoke after an all
Adam Curry: I know what the I know. I had a question. They
keep calling Putin a dictator isI a dictator I thought isn't
isn't that they've got they don't have a dictatorship in
Russia. Do they? know
John C Dvorak: he's elected? Yeah, he's
Adam Curry: elected.
John C Dvorak: I mean, he's he's, he's, I would say a de
facto dictator. No, but he's not technically a dictator. Okay.
It's
Unknown: dumb. It's shameful. It's dangerous. It's unAmerican.
The President spoke after an all night mera. have a debate in the
Senate left early morning passage of an emergency National
Security spending purchase the bill as amended passes, it would
provide billions military assistance to Ukraine, Israel
and Taiwan, but says nothing about US Mexico border security.
And that's why House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't bring
it up for a vote. That
helps security begins with border security. We have said
that all House Republicans
are increasingly taking cues from Trump who has said they
shouldn't support any border security deal that could benefit
Democrats. President Biden,
Adam Curry: now he's taking cues is Trump lied to in his ear
like, hey, oops, like, Hey, Mike,
Unknown: don't do it. Man. This is your IFP talking, Mike.
Adam Curry: What is going on with this reporting? Crap. The
Unknown: president today said the stakes are bigger than that.
And I
say to the House members, House Republicans, you got to decide
are you gonna stand up for freedom? We're gonna side with
Terran tyranny. We stand with America or Trump. Meanwhile,
tonight, House Republicans are planning to vote again to
impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in
opposition to his handling of border security. The similar
vote failed last week. And if they succeed this time, my orcas
would be the first Cabinet Secretary impeached since 1876.
Adam Curry: The cynical thing about this bill was they're also
giving money to Palestine. We're giving money to both sides.
Yeah, this is great.
John C Dvorak: It's our taxpayers money. We got to
spending it wisely and fixing it. No way at all over the
place. It's not
Adam Curry: taxpayer money, John, that's not true. No,
John C Dvorak: I've felt we're around about whatever money is
we're print missing from the coffers. It's taxpayers money.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we're just
John C Dvorak: take a look. Let's take a look at CBC
reporting.
Adam Curry: It's an investment. Okay. It's an investment in our
national security.
Unknown: Oh, nice. Standing before an energetic crowd in a
small city in South Carolina. Donald Trump veered from his
prepared remarks at one of his reelection campaign rallies,
telling a story about a conversation he says he had with
an unnamed world leader about whether the US would come to the
defense of a NATO ally in the face of Russian aggression.
One of the presidents of a big country stood up said, Well,
sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by Russia, will you
protect us? I said you didn't pay your delinquent
in this moment. Trump mischaracterizes how NATO
funding works, but goes on to suggest that unless an ally
meets its defense spending targets, that country is not
worth defending against Russian advances.
No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to
do whatever the hell they want. You got to bang
Trump statement is a direct reflection of
John C Dvorak: where did Trump ever say it's not worth
defending? That's what she said. And she we heard again, which
were laughable, by the way his comments were semi humorous, and
she characterize them as telling a guy You're not worth
defending. He never says that.
Adam Curry: And he meant it. It wasn't a joke, John, he meant
it. I heard the President said he meant it. That's the crazy,
but
Unknown: goes on to suggest that unless an ally meets its defense
spending targets, that country is not worth defending against
Russian advances.
Adam Curry: Good catch,
Unknown: no, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage
them to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta Fang.
Trump's
statement is a direct contradiction of the NATO
principle that an attack on one is an attack on all Canada is
among the NATO country members that Trump would consider not
worthy action, as it does not spend 2% of its GDP on defense
Raceline target, only 11 of NATO's 31 members actually hit
defense funding goals. Spokesperson for Canada's
Defence Minister Bill Blair did not say anything critical of
Trump, but reaffirmed Canada's commitment to the International
Security Alliance. None of this will likely matter to Trump's
supporters.
God bless you all God bless you get out and vote. He left
Saturday's rally to huge applause was defended by key
members of the Republican establishment. Trump's pro
Russia statements are influencing lawmakers pro
Russian opposition to support for Ukraine is stalling.
Control for all Russian
John C Dvorak: pro Russian. Exactly specifically. Do you
have any indication in there that are Euro Russian?
Adam Curry: Are you trying to tell me that the media is trying
to mind control us with these thoughts
John C Dvorak: and they're trying to do something here
without it left
Unknown: Saturday's rally to huge applause and was defended
by key members of the Republican establishment. Trump's pro
Russia statements are influencing lawmakers Republican
opposition to support for Ukraine is growing, stalling the
passage of billions of dollars in aid packages, which still
remain in limbo.
Adam Curry: So the whole, you know, promoting pro Putin
promoting Putin. There was another one that I caught very
short clip here, a British journalist. I don't know why we
let him in Congress lie me. We let some lie me Britt come into
Congress, and a cost Marjorie Taylor agree. And he had a
better one. David
Unknown: Cameron says that you should vote through funding for
Ukraine. What do you say to that? I think he tried to
compare us to Hitler also. And if that's the kind of language
he wants to use, I really have nothing to say to him,
he like can do to an appeaser to Hitler in novel to include
funding for Ukraine, or, you
Adam Curry: know, Pisa for Putin and appeaser for Putin. There it
is.
Unknown: I think that I really don't care what David Cameron
has to say. I think that's rude name calling, and I don't
appreciate that type of language. And David Cameron
needs to worry about his own country,
and frankly, he can kiss my ass. What do you think?
Adam Curry: I love that. I don't like to rude language but kiss
my ass. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: To play this is the Ukraine. This clip as
Ukrainian aid bill stalled,
Unknown: House Republicans again highlighting their focus on
securing the southern border. It comes as the Senate passed a $95
billion security package that doesn't address the record
influx of illegal immigrants. Our Washington correspondent
Luiz Eduardo Martinez has more details on the current
legislative impasse in Congress.
It is February the 14th. Valentine's day and day to
celebrate love louder according to Speaker of the House Mike
Johnson, New Orleans are not feeling loved by their President
Oh Love House Republican leadership emphasize that they
won't be forced to act on the foreign aid bill. The Senate
passed Tuesday until Americans concern over the border crisis
are addressed. Senator
McConnell and I've spoken about this in Frank sessions. And let
me be clear here again this morning. The Republican led
house will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign
aid bill that was opposed by most Republican senators and
does nothing to secure our own border.
During back to back press conferences. Congressman Pete
Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, urged Johnson
to bring the Senate's $95 foreign aid package to a vote on
the House floor. Aguilar says Ukraine and other US allies are
in urgent need of assistance. It's
very clear if you want to push back against Putin. We want to
help our national security put this bill, this bipartisan bill
on the floor of
the White House says National Security Adviser had similar
comments.
All I can say is that each passing day each passing week,
the cost of inaction from the United States that's being borne
on the front lines by brave Ukrainians is rising. And that's
why we so urgently need to pass this bill urgently.
Adam Curry: urgently. Please send
John C Dvorak: money out there.
Adam Curry: You know, if you remember,
John C Dvorak: by the way, I in my opinion, this bill would pass
if if Johnson would put it up? Or vote for a vote. That's why
he's not doing it?
Adam Curry: Of course not. Course not. Do you remember, we
were talking about Eric Schmidt, the ex Google guy and he did a
big thing. On sound was a CNN, he was talking about it, he
started a drone company. And he says this is the next level of
warfare. It's all about the drones, the drones, the drones.
I think there's something to what he's doing. He's a
brilliant man, this Eric Schmidt. He is listen to the
Dutch defense minister.
Unknown: We know of course, drones are very important in
this war. So while we're seeing trench warfare, and we're also
seeing the drums and the role of the plant and the role they play
in on the battlefield. So apart from if 60s ammunition spare
parts, drone is very important to Ukraine right now. And we
need to scale up. We need to make sure that they have the
number of drones that they need, but also drones with the right
capabilities. So based on what Ukraine is learning also on
frontline, and that's why we are joining the drone coalition that
Ukraine has started together with Latvia together with other
countries to make sure that we do just that to increase
production to use the latest technology and to provide
exactly with what Ukraine needs
Adam Curry: maybe it's marine drones, its air drones. Its
drone drone drone drone, everything's a drone.
Everything's yeah,
John C Dvorak: there's money to be made in the drone. one more
clip the plan is NATO
Adam Curry: big money in drones. All right before you go to
drones
John C Dvorak: You were listening all these reactions to
Trump's commentary about NATO and always wants this summit.
This is a this is an interesting little clip. This is just the
public leaving Trump's rally discussing this matter the way
and I think this is what the public thinks, but some
Unknown: Trump supporters were outside today's rally told us
just now that they think Trump was not wrong and calling out
some countries who are not paying their fair share, watch.
They've
got to pay and get to be a part of something you got to pay your
dues. I think that's fair. And I think they should. I don't see
anything wrong with what he said. He's
got too much too big of a lead. She should just drop out.
Adam Curry: Daily, Haley Haley, but the military complex is
being promoted by Trump.
John C Dvorak: The term Yeah, that's the irony. The term fair
share. Yep. Which Biden loves to use, I think should be used
constantly about this commentary that Trump had to say.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but this is everyone's the military
industrial complex has power. They have power, man, they got
power over everybody over all these nit numbnuts
John C Dvorak: or everybody but except for the Big Pharma. Yeah,
well, I'm not sure we're in bed together. And and the shot deer
in
Adam Curry: the interest. something interesting happened.
You know, we've been talking about the Democrats actually
wanting Trump to win
John C Dvorak: here has one of our sub text theses. Yes. Well,
Adam Curry: I have a have another data point. Brett
Weinstein fresh from his appearance on Tucker. He's going
around the world, you know, he went to the Darien Gap. And he
came back and said, Oh, we're being invaded by Chinese as
military age men. Even though I think we've successfully proven
that there's huge unemployment in China and the rich Chinese
who can or the wealthy or the middle class who can travel to
other countries or hopscotching around they take an Uber at the
last minute. They come through the fence. Yeah, they come to
the police.
John C Dvorak: We did nothing wrong with having 10s of 1000s
of smart Chinese coming into the country to boost our IQ. Yes.
Adam Curry: But Weinstein is now on the and I actually texted
with Joe about this. And he says no, we're being invaded, said,
No, we're not. But it was this little bit of Weinstein's
appearance that really said, Oh, we're on the right track.
Unknown: Well, I don't think we're there yet. But I but I
don't think on the basis of the time he would have his
temperament or his ability to build a team. You know, Trump is
kind of a one man show. And his team building ability, I don't
think is enough to solve the problem either. But the punch
line of that is, if Kennedy can't do it, for whatever
reason, if politics gets in the way, we still have to get
whatever that cabal is out of power immediately. This could
not be more of an emergency. We've seen through COVID how
dangerous these people are, how little they care about our well
being. And we have to rally around whatever it is that
addresses this problem. And, you know, as much as I'm not a
believer that Trump on his own can do the job. I would far
prefer him to another standard bearer of that Cabal, the cabal
is too dangerous. And I say this, as you know, I'm a
lifelong Democrat. Right? This is my party that I'm telling you
cannot be trusted with governance. But that's where we
are.
Adam Curry: That's a big show. It's a big show to be saying
that kind of stuff so big. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: he's definitely going to find himself into a
heap of trouble is like Matt Taibbi has been making the
rounds are with all kinds of interesting stories. But, you
know, if you're a Democrat during within the last decade,
and you leave the party, this would happen to Trump. Trump, I
think is one of the examples of this. It's more of a cult than
anything else, you leave, they go after you they don't go after
you. They don't go after me because I left a democrat party
in this late 70s. So I'm, I'm exempt. But the recent Democrat
Party, people are all in a in a call. He just said kibali Just I
almost said cabal but a cult is what I really mean it because
when you leave a cult, they go after you that's what all cults
do. Yeah. And so Weinstein is in for a heap of trouble. Just by
that that clip right there is gonna get him into hot water.
You watch Well,
Adam Curry: he's, he's, you know, the I think he's very
malleable. You know, he's these these words are not just his
people are talking to him. You know, the Dream Team. The Dream
Team is talking to him. Matt Lee are Buddy in the State
Department is back. And it's always fun to have Matt Lee back
on deck. I don't know why it's been so long. We haven't heard
from him. And now we have President Biden saying, oh, you
know, this Israel response was over the top. It's over the top.
All right. And I guess it was solid. And maybe who said, Well,
you know, we we've got many levers. We told them Israelis
what we're gonna do, we told them what to do. We were mercker
Murca. And Matt leaves have none of it.
Unknown: What lovers? Have you used?
So we have used diplomatically levers, the Secretary, that
means, Victoria and the president and you and Kirby and
whoever else standing up and saying, wagging your finger and
saying that that's not really leverage.
We have engaged with them on a at a multitude of levels at this
administration. And and, as I
Adam Curry: you could literally be in Matt Lee's chair. I love
that multitude. What does that mean a multitude administration?
Unknown: And and as I kind of you look at the list that we
just went through with whomever we have seen them take steps at
our urging that have had real, real tangible impact with but
they have not been enough. But what levers have you
actually, I
think the that when the United States of America stands up and
says something publicly it matters?
Adam Curry: No, it doesn't.
Unknown: But you had, and we haven't said no. And we've been
any consequences. My to my point, we have seen money, or
military systems. But we have been the policies we have
pursued, we have seen improvements along these
specific areas. Okay, we've seen tangible improvements. Again,
asking you
what the average
has also, I want the average have you brought to bear I just
went through what have you gone? I think the words of the
President United States the words of the Secretary of State
matter and holding the top and we have seen, we have seen the
Government of Israel respond to not always in the way that we
want not always to the degree that we want, or to the level
that we want, but the the our interventions, we believe have
had an impact, and we will continue to pursue them because
we we believe they do.
Adam Curry: What Matt Lee is pointing out is that Israel has
some huge leverage on the administration. And they have
nothing Well, we told them you calm down no culus burgers in
the Netherlands, who interestingly have a large part
to play with the F 35 supply chain. They took a totally
different track. And the same defense minister we heard
earlier all in on drones for Ukraine. ropes, no more F 35
parts for Israel
Unknown: and appeals court in the Netherlands has ordered the
government to stop F 35 parts deliveries to Israel, the ruling
takes effect within the next seven days. And for more on this
story, we can go across to Fanon, Van Ted standing by at
the Hague for now. What exactly is this ruling? And will it have
an impact? So
there was an audible gostilna in the court as this verdict came
through this quote saying that the Netherlands needs to
reconsider its export license for those F 35 parts to Israel,
because there is a serious risk of violations to international
humanitarian law. And thus, this is how the minister should rule.
Now this is centered around the small town of rooms dressed in
Robins here, which is where the F 35 regional warehouse is,
which is where all European partners have the F 35 program
and Israel are supplied with our F 35 Spare parts. Now, the
minister had argued that she had read looked at this general
export license which was given in 2016 after October 7, but in
light of Israel's right to self defense and political
considerations such as the Dutch relationship with the United
States and Israel had decided to continue exporting those parts
the judges here now said that that was the wrong decision.
They say it is clear that there are violations to international
humanitarian law taking place in Gaza due to the large number of
civilian casualties there including children and that
within seven days or export of parts to the F 35 jet to Israel
must stop
Adam Curry: do they went in overruled through the courts?
You're done? This is very interesting.
John C Dvorak: You know, got it caused some problems of back
channel well,
Adam Curry: it's about time for some of that Epstein video
footage to come out. If they're gonna if there is blackmail
going on. Which Which seems apparent. Why else with the
United States who Oh, we said it's over the top and that'll
slow them down. No. So is everyone all afraid? Oh, they
might. I mean, it's time for some more Epstein client lists
stories
John C Dvorak: yeah well sure they get plenty of Pete dictum
lists must be a mile long
Adam Curry: yeah but my point is that whenever they need to
John C Dvorak: get everyone anyone needs something to get
done yeah
Adam Curry: then then all of a sudden they go oh god I've
released another client was How about just do some pictures so
we can call them AI generated Come on, come on, let's do it.
Let's spice up the show people. I'm tired of waiting.
John C Dvorak: Which is about have a couple of little side
bits here. While I do have this some Gaza news, so I'm gonna
play these business of funny stuff here that doesn't get in
the mainstream. So I got it from NTD and this is the two
hostages, no deal and TD clips and there's those three of these
clips.
Unknown: This is in di D things are heating up across Israel's
northern border with Lebanon and an Israeli official says they
are preparing for war in the north. This comes as the Israeli
military says that to Al Jazeera reporters are also Hamas
terrorists entities Jason Perry has the latest on Israel
recently released footage of a mission in which Israeli
soldiers rescue two hostages. Israel said they used explosives
to breach the building and heavy gunfire followed. Israeli troops
were then seen going up the stairs to the second floor of
the building where they rescued the hostages. Those two former
hostages said this on Wednesday.
I want to say thank you to all the people of Israel and to the
security forces who brought us home recording system. I want to
say thank you to all those who participated in this complex
operation to the IDF to the security forces to all the
soldiers who made us really feel that we were being brought home.
And both of them said they hoped that remaining hostages would be
released and in regard to a possible ceasefire to release
the over 100 hostages who remain in the Gaza Strip. Officials
from the United States, Egypt, Israel and Qatar met in Egypt on
Tuesday for ceasefire negotiations. But according to
reports, no deal was reached. And apparently there was not
even a date announced for their next meeting to continue the
talks.
John C Dvorak: Now there's something about these two
hostages, which kind of and it was brought to the four by the
what this guy said one of the hostage he says, hey, they
brought us and made us feel like we were actually going back
home.
Adam Curry: It was I think that if it was all an act, it was it
was meant to obfuscate the obvious bombing that happened on
on Super Bowl Sunday.
John C Dvorak: Well, it would did definitely did that. But why
are these two hostages? You know? It just doesn't make
sense. If you had these two guys, out in the middle of
nowhere, they're not with the rest of the hostages. So you
can't you know, where are the hostages? And why are these two
guys where they are? And why are they saying well, it's it was
great. We got back home and made us feel like we were really
coming home. And what does that mean? This whole hostage thing
was just a scam of some sort. You're
Adam Curry: gonna get us banned. The the Israel is now banning
foreign media or they're threatening to know me. There's
no media here, stop reporting. And
John C Dvorak: so the thing that which brings us to clip two
there, this if this is true, which makes sense that it might
be because I think the unrar thing that UN agencies also
Adam Curry: thought was very suspicious. Yeah, just like the
White Helmets. And
John C Dvorak: this is this part, which did mainstream media
in this country hasn't touched. But I think it's definitely
worth the discussion. Part two of this
Unknown: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas
didn't offer anything new in their proposal. Hamas apparently
still demands that Israel in the war completely before they will
release the hostages.
Ai insists that Hamas should abandon its delusional demands
and when it does, we will be able to move forward
and in another development this week and IDF spokesman to Arab
media said in a statement on X that Israeli forces recovered a
laptop in the Gaza Strip, and pictures on the laptop showed
that an Al Jazeera reporter is also a senior military operative
and the Hamas terrorists. And on Wednesday, the IDF spokesman
posted a picture of another alleged Al Jazeera reporter who
filmed himself in an Israeli village during the October 7
massacre. We reached out to AlJazeera for comment, but we
didn't hear back before airtime.
Adam Curry: All right, we must remember a couple things. One,
we still have no resolution and it quickly gets forgotten. As to
how this this fence this border, the security fence could be so
violated and broken through with hours of a lack of response.
Because that's just fallen off the radar. We don't talk about
that anymore. How do we do well we do But so that just that
makes no sense. And you've got to start questioning the motives
of, quote unquote leaders of all countries about what's really
going on here. The second thing we need to remember is that
these leaders, they don't care about people. They don't care.
They don't care how many they have to kill, how many die,
they've got to some boy, whatever the whatever the reason
for all this is, they don't care. They'll just do whatever.
And then we sit here, even you and I like whoa, listen to the
news. No, okay, just
Unknown: making sure we that's what we're paid to
Adam Curry: do. What's below makes nothing but sense.
John C Dvorak: Why are we doing this? I don't matter here.
Sorry, three. Also,
Unknown: on Wednesday, I'll cross Israel's northern border,
Hezbollah terrorists and Lebanon fired a barrage of rockets into
northern Israel, killing one woman and injuring eight others.
In response to the attacks. Israel Defense Forces reported
striking a series of targets in Lebanon, and the Chief of the
General Staff of the IDF said they are preparing for war in
the north.
Adam Curry: This is just west Clarke seven just unfolding
before us is that's all kind of
John C Dvorak: look, this is slow. That's all of it. Now,
it's conceivable one little side clip here I want to play. And
this is because the first thing that came to mind when I heard
this clip, and I thought to myself, what was Tucker Carlson
really doing in Russia? Meeting with Putin? Is it possible that
Adam Curry: he was passing off a USB stick?
John C Dvorak: He was doing some let me they're saying is it
possible that he was doing something and this something may
be involved with this particular clip? play this clip this is the
clip is prisoner exchange. Meanwhile,
Unknown: a possible prisoner exchange could be in the works
between Russia and the US. The Kremlin refused to comment on
the state of negotiations when asked today. It restated that
such cases must be resolved in silence. The US is seeking the
release of former Marine Paul Whelan and form and reporter
Evan Gorsky vich, both held in Russian prisons on spy charges
they denied. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said yesterday
that he had spoken to Whalen and a rare phone call. Russian
President Vladimir Putin suggested in an interview with
American journalist Tucker Carlson last week, that in
return for Herskovits Moscow wants Germany to free bottom
Cresco volve crosscut cough was convicted of murdering a Chechen
dissident in Berlin.
Adam Curry: It could be it's possible I mean, I don't know
you'd have
John C Dvorak: to have some face to face once in a while. But
with this Ukrainian situation going on, you need to get a
third party and neutral guy in there. Who's got nothing to do
with the State Department, the US government or anything else
coming
Adam Curry: to Kansas but
John C Dvorak: he's always wanted to be a spook
Adam Curry: that they can just pick up the phone. I don't know.
But on his way home and tuck our stuff stopped off at the World
Government con conference. I
John C Dvorak: saw that too. And he
Adam Curry: was interviewed. Well,
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry, hard to clear. We
Adam Curry: looked we looked at his crotch for 36 minutes was
the worst camera shot ever. You know, but with that, that huge
dude behind and besides him asking questions. Well, they're
side by side very uncomfortable, hard to clip, also
uninteresting. It was just uninteresting. And why would
that shot if his crush it just the customer was decent amateur
John C Dvorak: amateurs. But so or maybe not. Maybe it was I
could do some jokes here. I'm not going to use. But how about
this, go back to this the idea of Tucker going back there to
set up this prisoner exchange. One of the things that Putin
wants is this guy that killed the Chechnya and guy. Yeah. And
he wants him out. He wants them back in Russia. And in their
interview, Putin did discuss the CIA being involved in this, that
and the other thing and he and he got out which something is
never been done on American media. He got out what he
considers the fact that the Chechen situation was set up and
executed by the CIA is what he says and arm narrative about the
Chesty and thing is that it was all established by by Putin, he
set it up, so he could burn down the big apartment building and
kill a bunch of Chechnya's and remember that yes, okay. That's
been going on. And I don't think Putin likes that narrative. It
may or may not be true. None of this all this by the way we're
discussing may or may not be true, but it just a lot of scams
going on and so far is trying to get us to think one way or the
other, but couldn't got that into the public domain. This
little See, I think the idea would be this. We want to get
these two Americans back. What do we have to do? Putin says,
I'll do an interview with Tucker. I have to discuss the
CIA get involved in Chechnya. I want that guy back from Germany.
And then you can have your, your, your spook and your
journalist back. And we'll be good to go. And but but you're
gonna have to set it up in in a secret, like just this last
week,
Adam Curry: telling me that that's really the level of
importance of things that these guys are thinking about. I just
don't want to look like a douche. i Okay. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: exactly. She's taken. And there's no
explanation for Tucker. Oh, I've been trying to do this interview
for a decade, blah, blah, blah. This whole Tucker thing and this
boring interview, I think was just to get Tucker over there to
set the set up things because he's always wanted to be a
spook, he said, So himself, set things up. Okay for the Russians
to do this trade, because there's no reason for this, this
prisoner. Transfer this trade to happen. Now, coincidentally,
like a couple of days after Tucker shows up? Well,
Adam Curry: you've successfully ruin any chances of me ever
appearing on Tucker show, that's for sure. That's never gonna
happen. Now.
John C Dvorak: Why? Maybe I ruined my chances. I didn't ruin
your chances. You're defending Tiger. I can hear it.
Adam Curry: No, I'm not. I'm not. Because I what he did for
me is he reminded me that the World Government Congress
conference was on in I think, is Dubai. And I was like, Oh,
that's right. That's where all these douchebags get together
and tell us how they're going to rule us in the future. Exactly.
And luckily, our boy Schwab was there. And he laid it out seven
Unknown: years ago, after having written a book about evolution,
I showed houses evolution will change how we live, how we act,
how we communicate, how we produce, and how we consume.
Now, we are speaking not just about to foresee this
revolution, we are speaking about the transition of human
kind into a new era. We speak about transition into what I
would call the intelligent age. situation. Unfold unfolds within
a society where artificial intelligence, robotics, Internet
of Things.
John C Dvorak: Internet of Things, internet
Adam Curry: of things, things
Unknown: Internet of Things. So 3d printing, genetic
engineering, quantum computing, some foundations of our daily
lives. Okay,
Adam Curry: so he's setting it up was the Internet of Things,
saying quantum computing, I just want to point out quantum
computing on deck on deck. But He's warming he's really talking
about a global warming. What does it what is
John C Dvorak: it when this guy is when his head is on a stick?
Do you think his mouth should be a gape? Or somebody should wire
it shut? What do you think?
Adam Curry: What I like about this is that this is how these
people are thinking. It doesn't mean that it's true, but it is
true how they think and they're all in because they're dumb.
They are dumb. That's why they're doing this job. It's
because it's a it's a dumb job, and you just get fat and drunk
and parked. You have a good time. So it's really about
transhumanist control. Here's your Swaby boy.
Unknown: So future is not happening. We particularly you
as government leaders, you are shaping the future. So what does
it mean for government leaders? We don't want to move into using
the Fourth Industrial Revolution into a cold. Walker. See,
Adam Curry: that's exactly what you want. So that's why you're
saying we don't want to do it.
Unknown: We don't want to move into a technocracy. Yes, you do.
What we want to do we want to move in what I would call a
jubile NACA see
a human na cracy
a world where we use technology to use all our human potential
and to create even a better world. Thank you.
Adam Curry: Yes, thank you know,
John C Dvorak: Man, this guy.
Adam Curry: Let's just check in with the public and see how
that's going. How are we? How are we doing with all of this AI
as the internet as the saying close
Unknown: call in the crowd? crosswalk as these adults in San
Francisco rush to kids out of the way to avoid being hit, and
then do a double take as they watch the car cruise by with no
driver, so called a robo taxi is operated by crews.
Adam Curry: Did you see that? What happened to the way Moe car
in San Francisco?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we talked about in the last show I
Adam Curry: thought it was no no no no we didn't talk about it on
the show. Tell us tell you live there he boots on the ground.
What happened to the way Moe vehicle?
John C Dvorak: Well, there was a it was like an event into it I
think was in the Castro district in some way mo car comes into
the area and the it stops and then Janice traffic and there's
a bunch of they always have these issues. They get no
traffic and they can't get out. They suck. And so somebody
decided to just for Chinese New Year. And so somebody decided to
bust a Windows out of the thing. And then they threw a bunch of
firecrackers in there caught the thing on fire. And then it
started catching it burning to the ground. People were cheering
and yelling and circling it and jumping up and down. It was like
it was like some sort of a side Bible thing from
Adam Curry: Samoa or like a science fiction movie. We're
we're happy we got one of them. We got one of the
John C Dvorak: boards. Got one. Let's see what was missing was
tying it up.
Adam Curry: Let's listen to Dutch member of European
Parliament, Rob Rose, who will tell us really exactly what the
plan is the
Unknown: bureaucrats centralist in Brussels are addicted to
power. They use or abuse every crisis, financial crisis, COVID
crisis, Ukraine crisis, energy crisis. And the solution is
always the same. And the professor already said it more
European Union if there's no crisis, and that's the second
point, if there's no crisis, they create the crisis. For
example, climate change, they call it an existential threat.
And the solution is the Green Deal.
The Green Deal destroyed our
energy system, it is destroying our food system. They are trying
to control co2. But if you control co2, co2, you you
control people because everything we do in life is
about co2 emissions, living, breathing, eating, traveling,
living. So if you can control that you can control people's
lives. Now they introduced the digital identity and the central
bank digital currency. So they can see everything we do, and
they can control everything
we do because they can shut off shut off our
our financial system whenever they want. We have seen it
already in Canada during the COVID crisis. Yes,
Adam Curry: exactly. And I think that there's some some opposite
play. Intentionally, unintentionally, I'm not sure
all ops would be intentional. This was a very odd report, if a
local ABC report that this is happening tells me that we need
some solutions and the banks can't do it. They're no good.
Unknown: I hadn't tapped it. I hadn't inserted it. I hadn't
swiped it. And then all of a sudden, out comes the receipt.
And I said how did this get paid for? The cashier couldn't
explain it. She stood there literally just sort of blank. I
really thought that the guy ahead of me that he had been
charged. I said somebody paid for this on a credit card
somewhere. Turns out the tap to pay card reader and Safeway had
ignored the debit card and Edgar's hand. Instead it reached
into Edgar's back pocket through his wallet and charged his Bank
of America credit card tucked inside. That's a pretty big
reach. I mean, around me or threw me to my wallet. Why
didn't you grab the card that was narrowed? How did it decide
what to grab?
I was shocked. I was like, Well, it can't
be bizarre. He says it happened at a doctor's office. They
went to pay and they said you're already paid and I said I
haven't inserted my card. I haven't even taken it out of my
wallet.
Turns out the card reader there had sent radio waves into her
purse and charged her credit card without her knowing it and
that wasn't all sign you got an even bigger surprise at a little
shop
woman said Oh my It's just read three cards.
The store is kept to pay system charge. Not only one but three
credit cards tucked in a wallet inside her purse.
I'd say I was two feet away at that point for sure all
charges were reversed but it was troubling.
Adam Curry: This, this doesn't sound real to me. Sounds
John C Dvorak: like bull crap to me too. Now my cards are in a
wallet that has a Faraday Faraday cage Faraday cage court
Of course, but, but when I pull the card out to have it read on
one of these things I have to fight it. Yeah, move it around.
I gotta flip it over.
Adam Curry: It doesn't right I'm struggling
John C Dvorak: for Hey, gotta read the card and now I give up
and I stick it in. But generally There you go. There's a line for
you. Yep. Now I'm worried. So you know, so you fool around
your foot so I took for the fact that thing that one guy says it
went through his body into his wallet in his you know, reached
around reached it was reached around bull crap this is these
stories are being planted for some reason. Okay, you brought
him up? Yeah, what's the reason Oh, we
Adam Curry: have to have a new a new banking system. This is no
longer secure the that can only be Federal Reserve fed. Now I
don't want to say
John C Dvorak: CBDs reach around it with it anyway, if it's one
of these cards, no no. Huge RFID range hollows
Adam Curry: on which the body we just said is bullcrap story
because the way the RFID works is the signal goes out is
reflected back the energy is reflected back by the trip in
your card. That's the part that is just not going to happen at
too far distance in less power. I mean, does it amplify one on
one does it go in at 10 Watts and come out 10 watts? I doubt
it. So it's just not a true story. That's why it's a local
story. It's not a true story. And this is to discredit banks
to discredit your tap to pay probably to discredit Google Pay
and Apple Pay and all this stuff. This is there's an
opposite play. A pay a pay play to pop up pop pop up, pay up
play
John C Dvorak: something like that, but from the forces of
cash
Adam Curry: flow of good the forces of cash Okay, Boomer.
That ship has long sailed and Oh, I'm so long sales.
John C Dvorak: I know in Berkeley for example, they
started landing all these all these all, you know, use a
credit card here and there and then became a city ordinance.
No, you can't because the homeless don't have credit
cards. And they may want to go into a place and buy a hamburger
a homeless person. All they have is cash and they have to go and
abuse cash to buy the burger.
Adam Curry: How about how about this? How about Satoshi Nakamoto
telling everyone to use Bitcoin? I mean, that's just as you buy a
burger with Bitcoin. That depends what still hasn't
arrived. By the way. While I sent it.
John C Dvorak: I think there's something going on with the post
office. No, well, that's totally possible. There was this we had
a guy there's just been too many anomalous really old mail that
was like you look at the update. Why is it taking so long to get
to me? It used to be like three days for mail pretty much from
any shipped anywhere in the country to get to the post
office box. Now it's 578 10. What happened? Just so
Adam Curry: you know, I sent it from my bank, so they sent the
cheque. So there could be a delay there. I don't know. It's
a great way to send cash. And I add a check. And I sent it to
the PIO box. So do you been to the PIO box? Yeah, yesterday.
Okay. Well, maybe it's there today. We had another
John C Dvorak: so it came in from the bank. How did this I
kind of just get mixed right in with no agenda stuff?
Adam Curry: It says John C. Dvorak, which
John C Dvorak: not a no agenda stuff comes to Jhansi. Dvorak at
that post office.
Adam Curry: But yeah, from Adam curry.
John C Dvorak: Well, not if it came not from yourself is from
some bang, it'll be
Adam Curry: front. It'll be a printed check for me. And the
last time I did this, you said Never send it that house, send
it to the PIO box. You literally told me this because the light?
John C Dvorak: Yes, but I didn't realize that it was coming for
some anonymous bank. It's
Adam Curry: not an anonymous bank. It'll be a check that says
Adam curry on the check.
John C Dvorak: Okay, if it says Adam Korean Did you ever see I
don't see. I don't see it on the spreadsheet. If I see Adam curry
on the spreadsheet.
Adam Curry: Sorry, I'm deducting. That's an interesting
way
John C Dvorak: to recoup half of this bet.
Adam Curry: No, I'm already
John C Dvorak: it's a smart move. I've given you kudos for
what a great idea. No,
Adam Curry: it's I'm expensing it as show content. Are you
kidding me? I'm writing it right off like, oh, no, no, you
John C Dvorak: can regain half of it the same way. I've seen
scams like this.
Adam Curry: Let's, let's talk about something else. That
happened. That is not really it's underreported. I had to
pick this up from Banyan show. Mitch McConnell sister in law.
You know, he's married to a Chinese.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's got direct connections to the
People's Republic.
Adam Curry: So apparently, on her ranch in Texas, she got into
her Tesla, and it backed up into the water and she drowned
Unknown: with Angela child, Helene child's sister. suddenly
passed away. We believe it's now being reported on there. ranch
in Texas and the Tesla she was driving was founded upon. Her
husband is Jim Brier, her Jim buyers of famous investor
invested in Facebook was one of the early investors in Facebook
and then went off and started funneling a lot of money into
China through a company called ADG. He's on the board of
another big China investor, which is I believe he's on the
board of Blackstone, you know, so he's got a lot of a lot of
China exposure. And here, everybody's kind of shocked,
right? It's like there's a mysterious passing away of, you
know, a prominent woman who was on the board of directors of the
Bank of China, was involved in the, you know, Macondo cause
shipping company. They've done a lot in the shipping community,
the shipping community disrupted, and there's just
mystery, there's no information. There's all these articles on
Elaine Chao and her relationships and everything
else. And all at the all at the end, it says there was a car
accident, you know, and it was it was reported by Kyle bass on
Twitter this morning, and it started leaking out last night
that this was more drowning than a car accident. And that was a
car on their ranch outside of Austin, Texas.
Adam Curry: Maybe a two to the head moment here. Well, I
John C Dvorak: mean, death by to how hard is it to probe into
Tesla's just a computer with a bunch of battery wheels? With
wheels? So how hard would it be to program it to once you get in
under some circumstances pre programmed to lock the door so
you can't get out? Back up into the river? Or the lake or
whatever it is, I guess the lake on the property just just go
into reverse because it can park itself. You can let the thing go
and go find a parking spot. So it can back up into the lake and
drown you all programmatically. Is that a possibility? Anybody
out to you know, by the way, Brunetti one system? Did you see
brunette? He's got one of those stupid trucks. The
Adam Curry: Cyber truck? Yeah, well, let's listen to this. Let
me just let me just tie into what you're saying. First of
all, the Tesla doors are very scary. There's lots of stories
of people were the word caught on fire. They couldn't get out
because the doors wouldn't unlock. It's, it's you know,
it's like a by wire thing. It's not a direct
John C Dvorak: mechanical lock.
Adam Curry: China is definitely trying to overtake the Evie
market or what's left of it. I would say it could be an
industrial hit by China. So you know, it's a little good but you
know, back back here into the pond, you know, and the doors
may just have shorted out whatever. The you know, they
definitely the
John C Dvorak: doors. I'm sorry. You can backdoor into the pond.
You can lock the doors. No,
Adam Curry: I'm saying the doors the minute you do it in drive it
the thing locks the doors, and then she's back in and just done
is over panic and it's done. Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of
pressure on
John C Dvorak: cars definitely going to sink. It weighs a ton
more than most. it'll
Adam Curry: sink right into the mud. Yeah, yeah. Okay. What
about Brunetti with a
John C Dvorak: cybernetic guy himself? cybertruck and I'm
thinking there's somebody could use the same trick to get rid of
him. Wow, be careful with these things.
Adam Curry: Why would you say that about a friend of the show?
No, I'm worried now. Why would you wasn't
John C Dvorak: worried before you ran this clip that anyone
who has a Tesla of any sort could be assassinated? Hey,
Adam Curry: Dana. I love you man. Don't worry about it. Don't
listen to John but don't drive that thing. It's a total penis.
Oh
John C Dvorak: water.
Adam Curry: Yeah. You know it. If it gets dirty if it gets bird
poop on it, you have to clean it off right away because it might
hurt. Oh,
John C Dvorak: just stay I think it was not mistaken. It's a
stainless steel. Body those that stainless steel is not the first
thing you learn in laboratory. Stainless steel is not
stainless.
Adam Curry: Just briefly on them on the AI scam. headline, Sam
Altman wants $7 trillion.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, five to seven. Yes. Here.
Adam Curry: Here's what was interesting about this AI crap.
Each level up of a GPT. So now we're I guess we're at GPT four.
So to go to GPT five, so we can reach what do they call it?
Truly generative. Now what is the term autonomous AI whatever
it is, where it thinks for itself? Oh, yeah, that'll be the
day cost between 25 and 100 times the previous one. So and
So forget the compute power the amount of energy needed. GPC for
took 50 gigawatt hours of energy to train. So GPT five will need
Get 1500 gigawatt hours. What's this this green? It's not the
whole thing's a scam and He's smart. He's like I'm gonna go
Milby some chips, give me some money.
John C Dvorak: He's not gonna get anything soon. We're
Adam Curry: computing is next on deck, baby. I'm telling you,
it's falling apart. None of it works. You know, now they're
saying, Oh, the Microsoft thing is not all that great. It's not
all that great. And I think in general, there's moves now, to
get you know, to pressure Silicon Valley, you guys got to
start paying us more we want more lobbying money. And up
front and center is New York City Mayor Eric Adams,
Unknown: my fellow New Yorkers. This is a city built on
innovation and technology. Oh really pleased.
Adam Curry: We all time potholes and arrived yet and rats
Unknown: celebrate progress to the future. Even as we have
created jobs, opportunity and prosperity with new technology,
there have been unforeseen consequences and dangerous,
especially when it comes to social medias effect on the
mental health of our young people. Over the past decade, we
have seen just how addictive and overwhelming the online world
can be exposing children to content, they are not ready for
disrupting the educational process, and seriously damaging
their self esteem and wellbeing. Our most recent data found that
young people in New York City are experiencing anxiety,
hopelessness, and even attempted suicide rates we have never seen
before. And there is growing evidence that the power of
social media is a major cause. This is a serious problem that
must be addressed. Now. That is why earlier this morning, our
administration filed a lawsuit against the companies that own
five major social media platforms, Tik Tok, Instagram,
Facebook, Snapchat and YouTube. As we announced last month in
the State of the City address we must take action to protect our
children from harm online including the growing dangers
presented by social media give
Adam Curry: me money Give me money and this brings me to a
new exit strategy for you and I I believe I have found an exit
strategy that we can we can even involve the no agenda shop for
this I'm very excited about this. This is some new medical
research. I feel that that we have the insight we have the
knowledge we have certainly have the the testing grounds we have
a lot of people who can test our product and make sure it works.
This is a medical breakthrough. People
Unknown: struggling with depression may be able to ease
their symptoms with certain scents familiar smells help
trigger life memories assisting with depression recovery.
University of Pittsburgh neuroscientist and social
workers found sense were more effective than words to cue up
happy memories and reverse the negative thoughts cycle they
believe familiar memory triggering sense could play a
major role in aiding faster smoother depression healing
motors are so powerful because they engage the amygdala through
nerve connections. I'm
Adam Curry: thinking smells on a stick
John C Dvorak: this this brother come
Adam Curry: on. We can we can work with all kinds of we have
lavender blossoms we got lavender smells I'm this is what
an easy fix.
John C Dvorak: But this is called is called smell smell
Agra fee what is the doer? Stink therapy there's some word for
this. Steve been around for a while stink
Adam Curry: therapy I think therapy fragrance therapy. I'm
not sure what it would be somebody
John C Dvorak: in the troll room is should know right off the top
of their head what I'm talking about. I'm having aromatherapy
aromatherapy.
Yeah, so there's not new
Adam Curry: Yeah, but but the research is new. We can sell
diffusers. We it's the original no agenda, amygdala shrinkage
package. This product okay. Its product is the prime product I
John C Dvorak: feel about product. Yeah, that's true.
Adam Curry: We don't like product. I would like to play
one clip by Bobby The up. It's his latest campaign.
advertisement. It's not on television. By the way. Let's
just stop for a sec. Did you see his campaign? Do you see any of
the Superbowl Do you see his campaign and I
John C Dvorak: saw the ad and I will say this within the Add
there was a picture of the Kennedy the classic Kennedy 19.
I think it's 1960 or 64 bumper sticker, the Kennedy bumper
sticker guide, and that which is a very straight and very
straightforward looking bumper sticker I have, I believe about
100 of these things. I stored them away back in the day when I
was a little kid, and I still have them. Do you know where to
put them up for sale?
Adam Curry: Put your hands on them?
John C Dvorak: I believe I know where they are. Yes. Oh, and you
Adam Curry: save them? Since you were a little kid. You are a
true archivist. Jhansi No, oh, I'm so impressed. I
John C Dvorak: have these these stickers. And they're this.
They're classic Kennedy sticker. Now I would have preferred to
have like big collection of something else. But these these
are classics and there were in that ad. Excellent.
Adam Curry: By the way, there was no they did the Jesus ad.
Did you see the Jesus ad that
John C Dvorak: Jesus is us or whatever it is? Yeah. Does that
ad has been going around for a while?
Adam Curry: Well, I hadn't seen it. And it's all these AI of
like blatantly AI images. Here's the thing. So they have Jesus
washing everybody's feet trans person, and then the prostitute.
I'm sorry, the prostitute washed Jesus's feet. Jesus only washed
the apostles feets what who is behind this ad?
John C Dvorak: prostitutes.
Adam Curry: All right, Bobby, the up is a rather long clip.
And he plays I think it's a very smart one. I don't know if it
gets any play or not. But he is pulling out the black rock card,
which I think is
John C Dvorak: the Oh, yeah, this this is actually quite
good. I'm glad you got this.
Adam Curry: I think it's a good move. Because everybody across
the political spectrum hates Black Rock. I don't Yes. I don't
think it's true. When he says Blackrock owns it. And
BlackRock. Do they really own more than 10%? In any company?
John C Dvorak: They're pretty. They're their minority
shareholders, you know, with everything they own. Yeah, they
may own a company or two. But it's not what their style of
investing is. Exactly. They
Adam Curry: don't own it. But that doesn't matter, because
it's politics. What a politician lying. But I think it's very
effective. And it pretty much sums up 16 years of no agenda
and few minutes is a
Unknown: war that should have never happened. It's a war that
Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very,
very beneficial to Ukraine, and is the major thing they wanted.
John C Dvorak: Are you saying something? No, no, just the
noise in your own clip.
Adam Curry: Oh, God, this horrible
Unknown: was for us to keep NATO out of the Ukraine. The big
military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the
time. Why? Then that country has to conform its military
purchases, and NATO weapons specifications, which means
certain companies North Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General
Dynamics, Boeing and Lockheed it get a draft mark, to march 2022.
We committed 113 plane hours. Just give you an example, we
could have built a home for almost every homeless person in
this country. We then committed another 24 billion since two
months ago. And now President Biden is asking for another 60
million. But the big big expenses are gonna come after
the war. When we have to rebuild you have all the things that we
destroyed. Mitch McConnell was as and we really afford 30
million at UK isn't a worry, is really going to Ukraine is going
to American defense, nine o'clock version. So he just
admitted as a money laundering scheme. And who do you think oh,
is every one of those companies? So Tim Scott, during the
Republican debate, said don't worry, it's not a gift to
Ukraine. It's alone. Raise your hand if you think that that laws
are getting paid back? Of course, it's not. So why do they
call it alone? Because it they call it a loan, they can impose
loan conditions? And what are the loan conditions that we have
imposed on number one of extreme austerity program. So if you're
poor and you great, you're going to be poor forever. Number two,
most important Ukraine has to put all of its assets up for
sale to multinational corporations, including all of
its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe.
New grant there's in 1000 Years War, fought over that lenders
richest farmland in the world is the breadbasket of Europe.
500,000 kids homos, Ukrainians have died to keep that planned
as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn't know about this
on condition. They've already sold the river sentiment. The
buyers were Dupont, Cargill, and Monsanto. What do you think owns
all of those companies? Got BlackRock? And then in December,
President Biden gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And
who do you think got that guy contract? shows you're doing
this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know
anymore. Because they know that they can get away with it. And
how do they know that because they haven't strategy. And as
all those strategies, which is they keep us at war with each
other. It keeps us hating on each other, to keep the
Republicans and Democrats fighting each other and black
against white and all these divisions that they saw.
Adam Curry: There you go, that like is PMS that he carries
around with him everywhere. It's not true. I just saw the
contract didn't go to black rock.
John C Dvorak: So let's go I'm just looking at just randomly
grabbed Monsanto's
Adam Curry: list of shareholders ownership structure. Sure.
John C Dvorak: So we have Blackrock death for different
divisions of Blackrock owned the following percentage of what
there's another one that wishes minor, there's four okay,
there's four divisions, different parts of Blackrock
men, they got all kinds of little comput little bits and
pieces. There's
Adam Curry: no one said they weren't good. I mean, they know
what the rock institutional
John C Dvorak: trust the big boy wants 2.2% of Monsanto, wow,
Blackrock wishes a lot. BlackRock fund advisors another
little spin of subset it owns 1.24, which brings it up to 3.6.
BlackRock Group, Ltd owns point seven 4% and BlackRock advisors
owns point one, five. So maybe 4% of Monsanto is held by
Blackrock so this is not owning in the sense that the public
would see it. Oh, by the way, Black Rock Japan wins point one
one that's a good one. They own a lot of stock, but it's like
they you know, and they have a lot of influence because that's
a lot of voters when it comes to the voting stock. But that's not
the same as we think of when we think of somebody owning it.
They own for it say they own if they own to 5% That's still just
5%
Adam Curry: How about Vanguard because I think that that's the
real you know, Blackrock gets all the bad press
John C Dvorak: Oh, they're just not even on this list with
Monsanto. Oh,
Adam Curry: I have I'm looking at Vanguards when is this from I
don't have I don't have to Oh, this 2013 I'll bet you Vanguard
owns more that's what all the politics all the politicians are
in Vanguard. That's what they all get in on then the funny
thing is that you just have you know this you just get it on the
bonds. I love the inflation report. That made sense. Yeah,
everybody inflation Oh, it's not going down. Mm hmm. What are the
chances I bet you they're going to raise rates this year.
John C Dvorak: Nobody sees that. That's what they should do.
Yeah, nobody nobody sees that and they don't expect it and
they're waiting for more rate cuts.
Adam Curry: Well, the jobs report has been pulled apart by
all kinds of people.
John C Dvorak: And my favorite part of the jobs report pull
apart was the fact that most of the jobs that are are from been
given to illegal aliens well there's there's that breakout
Yeah,
Adam Curry: that that government jobs and a lot of people got a
second or third job. Right. And I'm seeing like the restaurant
industry every young person I know in the restaurant industry
has to get a second job because the hours are being cut. I don't
know if people just not going out to eat I don't know. It's
too expensive. The
John C Dvorak: restaurant business right now is not a
business. I'd want to be out good. Not good
Adam Curry: or, or the medical device business who are striking
back. They're striking back at ozempic. Here's a fun little
report on the medical
Unknown: watch bypassing diabetes for the long haul.
medical reporter Dina bears here with some new insight Dino

son Pat bypass surgery helps patients lose weight and shed a
diabetes diagnosis. Now researchers at the American
College of Surgeons say even if the weight comes back diabetes
stays away. looking at data from nearly 300 people treated at
Mayo Clinic from 2008 to 2017. Doctors found gastric bypass
improves long term type two diabetes remission 75% of bypass
patients did not see their diabetes return. And for those
who gained every bit of weight back 60% still remained diabetes
free.
Adam Curry: Yeah, stop with the ozempic people get your get your
LapBand
John C Dvorak: get you get good get out of the operating table.
That's right.
Adam Curry: That's right. And there's no ZMP class action now.
That is there's ramping up. And this was really I was surprised
by by this report from ABC. I guess they're not getting enough
ad money. US government
Unknown: officials say they're looking into the practices of
powerful middlemen in relation to a critical shortage of
generic drugs. The FTC is focusing on drug distributors
and other companies in the supply chain that buy medicines
for hospitals, those middlemen are accused of drive driving
prices higher.
Adam Curry: I'm talking a little bit nasty. This money, so about
money. I do have a clip here from Janet Yellen, who is very
confident about our economy, despite the inflation, which of
course is because our president is on the ball. We
Unknown: hit the road with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
and the battleground state of Michigan, where the economy is
one of voters top concerns do you think the President can win
in Michigan in November?
Well, I certainly hope so. I think the economy is going to be
good and strong
inflation Rose 3.1%. In January more than expected driving the
higher prices, car insurance surged 21% Over the last year,
rent has risen 6% and daycare costs are up 5%. Are you and
President Biden happy with where inflation is right now? Super
happy?
Well, look, we know that Americans are experiencing
discomfort because important prices risk are higher than they
were pre pandemic. But what I think is really important is
that wages have gone up along with causes. So people are
better off than they were pre pandemic.
Another hurdle for the Biden campaign voter concerns about
his age, again, a focus after Special Counsel Robert hars
report questioning the President's mental fitness it
called President Biden a well meaning elderly man with a poor
memory. Do you agree with that?
I absolutely disagree with that. They work very closely with
President Biden.
Adam Curry: I disagree. He's an elderly man with a crappy
memory. And
Unknown: I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at the top
of his game with
another sign of trouble for President Biden here in
Michigan, a liberal group originally affiliated and
launched by Senator Bernie Sanders back in 2016, is urging
Michiganders to vote uncommitted to the upcoming Democratic
primary because of President Biden's position on the Israel
Hamas war. Meantime, Secretary Yellen tells us the
administration needs to do everything it can to, quote,
bring this tragic conflict to an end.
Adam Curry: I'm wondering if you saw the Wall Street Journal
article?
John C Dvorak: I mean, first of all, when I say that was a non
sequitur, the story starts one place and ends another Well, no,
I haven't actually read the article, but I have I'm very
familiar with it. But what is trying to do? Yes,
Adam Curry: well, the headline was, I'm ready to serve. Yeah.
Now it was the art the interview was done. Two days before the
unfortunate report came out. Yes, supposedly, this what they
say? I think is she said, I'm ready to serve any internet. She
may
John C Dvorak: have had a clue that district widower had to say
she may have been on top of the web ready to serve nonsense.

Adam Curry: Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey is now
calling for vice president Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th
amendment. Boy it would be it would be such a year first
wouldn't it be wouldn't be
John C Dvorak: great. She's not gonna do it. She's gutless.
Overnight, we listen to anybody other than these guys are gonna
have a lot of explaining to do if they do anything because like
Mayorkas was on Meet the Press last Sunday. I don't clip
unfortunately, because he's what a doofus. That guy is. And he's
glib, and he's arrogant and he's patronizing and ease. He says,
oh, Biden sharpest attack. I had to meet with him all the time.
I've never met a man if he asked the right questions. He grills
me shuckers attack i i wish you could see it. Axios
Adam Curry: had a huge report about all the problems going
going on in the background. In the administration, let me see
infighting. I'm bringing it up here. Exclusive. tu tu tu tu tu
how Biden botched the border Nice, infighting, turmoil, and
apparently is according to Axios Biden's are grunting around
yelling at everybody.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that I think might be true.
Adam Curry: He's just running around yelling. Everybody
doesn't know why he's yelling. But it's okay. Everything's so
good. You just heard from our treasury secretary. Wages are
up. Everybody's happy.
Unknown: Let's start with the flight attendants today. Roughly
5000 walked picket lines at about 30 airports nationwide
including Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, San
Francisco, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Dallas. The three
unions are in contract talks with big airlines Alaska,
Southwest United JetBlue frontier, Wisconsin and American
Airlines. They are demanding better pay and working
conditions. This was only a picket today not a strike so
flight should have still been fully staffed. Meanwhile, Uber
Lyft and some delivery drivers are planning to strike tomorrow
in about 10 cities and targeting airports. They're also demanding
better pay and improved drivers safety luster
Adam Curry: those wages the great everything's up
everybody's happy. Yeah, people may be feeling a little
discomfort the it's so sad that we just I mean it's great for us
because we have a job but the news media that just so bad.
They are they're bad really bad. Although the UK finally relented
overnight
Unknown: Britain's economy fell into a recession in the second
half of last year. Oh no official data released Thursday
showed gross domestic product contracted by a worse than
expected naught point 3% In the three months to December follows
another decline over the period between July and September of
naught point 1%. Britain's Office for National Statistics
said the queue for falling GDP was the biggest since the first
quarter of 2021. In the depths of the health crisis.
Adam Curry: Yeah. I love that the health crisis. It's just
called this the health crisis you mean COVID The COVID scam
demic Richie Sunak wears a habit here, Richie Sunak did a town
hall which he will regret for a long time. Because Sunak where's
this clip? Here it is. Rishi, Rishi, I say Richie. Rishi,
Rishi Sunak, did a town hall. And all of a sudden now, you got
to kind of tune in because the guys from Scotland, we
John C Dvorak: have to remind some of some of the people that
listen to him produce the show that who he is, he's the Prime
Adam Curry: Minister, Prime Minister, UK, married into a
billionaire family. What's that?
John C Dvorak: What's the set said,
Adam Curry: you know, what's the name of the company that his
father in law started the company. So Rishi, Rishi, who
was placed there after they kicked out, Teresa. Remember
that they crashed the crash the guilts now You're out. You're
dumb, put in this guy, this rich guy he'll know. So Rishi gets
accosted by a man claiming to be vaccine injured. And it's not
just him. There's another one in the audience. And of course, we
cannot have this, the news model has to jump in. And he has to
stop this nonsense. But it's worth listening to the absolute
frustration and despair in this man Scottish accented voice.
Unknown: My name is John Wall. And I'm one of the COVID vaccine
angels in this country. I want you to look at him hydrous you
shouldn't after one year, look at the pain, the trauma and the
gray I have in my eyes. We'll be left with no help at all. Not
only am I on here, this vaccine injured there's another man over
there whose life's been ruined, but I COVID-19 vaccine. I know
people who have lost legs, amputations. I know people with
heart conditions like myself rescue. So why are the people
who are in charge? Who told us all to do the right thing of
laughters Altero unless me and the 1000s and 10s of 1000s. And
there's plenty to draw, especially soon i Lumia in the
eye. When did you gonna start to do the right thing that over
50,000 people have had an adverse reaction to that
vaccine.
Okay. John, thank you very much indeed
for your question.
You've, you've made a really strong point on Prime Minister
John Bula. On very sorry to hear about your personal
circumstances and you said someone over here also seems to
have suffered by the similar similar thing. Now, obviously, I
don't know about the individual situation that you're in.
We are silence. We are the most stylish people in that punchy
press because my story in the press the government for comment
bit and they made
you raised some very valid points. I'm sure what I've got
to say. So we haven't got your microphone. As you know. I'm
sure we can raise your points with the prime minister at a
later date. Yes.
Adam Curry: And that was the end of it. carted off. Yeah. later
date. Look me in the eye. Rishi Sunak. I like that. I like it.
Look me in the eye. It's tragic. Things are so bad. Remember,
Rachel Dolezal?
John C Dvorak: How bad are they?
Adam Curry: Do you remember Rachel? Rachel Dolezal?
John C Dvorak: Who wasn't she in Texas now teaching kindergarten
or something
Adam Curry: where she Do you remember Rachel Dolezal? Of
course, we
John C Dvorak: everyone remembers Rachel Dolezal. She's
the one who identifies as black. Yes,
Adam Curry: things are so bad that Rachel dole is all now has
an only fans page.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I understand that. This is but
it's not that she's stripping or anything? Is she? Yes.
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. So there's if you can't even if you
identify as black and you can't even get a gig, you got to go to
only fans. This is bad. This is very, very bad. Bad doesn't
matter, because we'll have a good news segment at the end of
the show. We'll bring you right back up.
John C Dvorak: Well, Rachel Dolezal having a only fans page
is probably good news for some people.
Adam Curry: It's not good news. It's bad. Right? know, it's like
someone sent me this note and said, I'm attaching a picture.
And luckily he didn't attach a picture. And I said do not I
said you didn't attach it. Don't worry. Don't resend it. I'm good
to go. I believe you. I believe you say I don't know that was
before the show and then I didn't know Okay, didn't
John C Dvorak: look let's go to the let's go to the battle
between Texas in the United States USA versus Texas. Yes,
Adam Curry: this is a big one. We're still on deck all
happening in Eagle Pass one little swath of land that has a
fence
Unknown: 45 US lawmakers scientists amicus brief this
week supporting Texas in a legal case against the Justice
Department. The Biden administration is suing Texas
over a new law known as Senate Bill four. Governor Greg Abbott
signed it into law in December. Now Senate Bill four gives Texas
police the authority to arrest illegal immigrants for
trespassing once they entered the Lone Star State. Now the
Justice Department argues that Texas can't do that because
arresting immigrants falls under federal authority. But
representative Jody Arrington, who leads the 45 lawmakers
disagrees watch. Not
only is this President and Secretary failing to provide for
a common defense, and willfully disregarding the laws of the
land. They are obstructing our state's effort to protect our
citizens and defend our border.
Meanwhile, the new numbers show that the month of January saw
over 176,000 immigrant encounters at the southern
border. That's more than any January ever before breaking the
previous record set in 2023. With nearly 160,000 encounters.
Adam Curry: That's right. That's why wages are going up. It's,
you know, he mentioned amicus brief. There's there's been an
update from our constitutional lawyer, Rob, who has been
tracking them as men, Missouri versus Biden case, Supreme
Court. And that's, you know, that's basically where the
administration was threatening Twitter and other social media
companies to take down accounts and posts etc. And our
constitutional lawyer said, hey, you know, I'm very happy to
write an amicus brief for the no agenda show. And I said, Well,
why don't we do this? Because it's kind of cool to have the no
agenda show, you know, registered with the Supreme
Court. I don't know. He says, All right,
John C Dvorak: as I just explained it a little more
detail.
Adam Curry: What do you mean,
John C Dvorak: what would the brief be regarding?
Adam Curry: Well, it would well, this is the point is we have to
we have to come up with a reason to say yeah, you know, this is
wrong podcast go podcasting. That's that's the basic idea.
John C Dvorak: I see you go podcasting angle.
Adam Curry: We could put it a go podcasting angle and so much,
but it would be the no agenda show with me. I
John C Dvorak: would like to have I think we should go ahead
with this. Okay,
Adam Curry: here we go. And how do we
John C Dvorak: don't have an end because I'd like to have more
clarification. Okay. That would help.
Adam Curry: He said as for no agenda amicus brief one he this
He writes the meat one brackets. If a case is important to y'all,
this is, please don't write that in our advocate. If a case is
important to y'all, why not have your position considered by the
justices sitting on the highest court in the land and possibly
get a mention somewhere? Yes. Sometimes an amicus brief moves
the needle making a difference on an important case. That's
his, that's his his MO.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so we need to find some cases that we want
to throw throw some amicus briefs into, I think
Adam Curry: we have we do more than one. I think we have plenty
of producers who were who had post taken down who were shadow
banned. I mean, I think we have an entire audience filled with
people who had that happen. So maybe we take a couple of those.
Okay, well,
John C Dvorak: let's just discuss this in in our, we're
not going to have a meeting. I'm not gonna be in or after show.
Post mortem.
Adam Curry: I don't want a meeting. That does not do
meetings. I do want to hear your series of clips about meta
versus AI.
John C Dvorak: Yes, these I put off from the last show this meta
versus AI versus PBS. For some reason I like these because
there's a there's because there's some there's some twists
in clip two and three. So let's start with clip one meta versus
AI versus PBS
Unknown: earlier this 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 ex have
rolled back a total of 17 policies intended to protect
against hate speech and misinformation.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's very confusing. What exactly is
John C Dvorak: another one of these that we're seeing more and
more of these if there was one earlier in the show these what I
consider to be an non sequitur. Opening to some topic? Well, how
do you get from from the labeling AI generated images
which I've starting to see the people labeling I'm not labeling
as AI, they're labeling the sources wall E or whatever those
things are?
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Dolly, Dolly, Dolly.
Unknown: Wall is the movie.
John C Dvorak: Wall the AI I love it, Wally. And so So then
he goes from that to hate speech? I don't know. I think it
must have to do with, I guess. Ai images in memes, which tend
to be I think most memes are hate speech and be defined as
hate speech because they're always slam and some just bad
comedy, most of them. So here we go. It's now here we got clip
two and I have the word dud written. Okay.
Unknown: The group also said layoffs if the three companies
make it harder to enforce the safeguards that remain. 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 it? How helpful is this going to be? And
is it enough?
So I think that this is just one of many important steps that 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 vestment. 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.
Nefarious
Adam Curry: interference, you nefarious
John C Dvorak: interference. Hmm. So what is she talking
about?
Adam Curry: That Epstein pictures are coming out and it
has to be deemed AI
John C Dvorak: you know, I started I'm not a big fan of
this thesis as yours at least initially. But as as this
continues in like our stories like this, I'm starting to warm
up to it.
Adam Curry: It will if we don't send more money to Israel is
going to happen. The Epstein pictures are coming is coming
that this has been going on for this op has been going on for a
long time. It's time to lay mail. Yes, they need to lay some
smack down and show some pictures.
John C Dvorak: But something's coming up at eight. Let's go to
part three with the witch I have to comment on this one as stooge
does Just
Unknown: 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 in 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 we handle issues on everything
from from climate change to other geopolitical issues.
Adam Curry: Brother, she had to bring that in I like, I like the
political stuff, and then you bring in climate change. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: always has to bring it in. It's no good. So
those three clips were was was a disappointment. Linda, I want to
run off this clip though. This is I've been saving this for
weeks and weeks because we have not discussed it but this is
something that we did discuss probably two or three years ago,
maybe even pre COVID. Wow. Because there was some shooting
in Slovenia or something and then
Adam Curry: yes, the kids the parents got convicted.
John C Dvorak: And the parents in Slovenia got it. Well, it
looks like we're heading in the same direction. This is the
Michigan mom on trial. This is a democracy now clip but I don't
think it's Amy so don't play anything. And this is this is a
big deal. That is really nice. still flying a little bit under
the radar.
Unknown: And Michigan a jury has convicted Jennifer crumbly of
four counts of involuntary manslaughter for a deadly school
shooting carried out by her 15 year old son at Oxford High
School and 2021 Prosecutors argued Crumbley had a duty to
prevent her son from going on the rampage which killed four
students in what was Michigan's deadliest school shooting.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: saw that. Going under trial to the get and both
parents are gonna get both parents for the kid shooting.
This is I don't want to sound like a fraud Yes, I always sound
like a fuddy duddy that's beside the point. I think this is the
go after the black Americans. Oh, they have more kids like in
Oakland. There's murders going on all the time and as lot of
juveniles doing them I think they're going to start going
after Black dad to take find some real estate a white example
is do the white man first. Wow. Let's run this one down and see
what happens is anybody feeding back but negatively? No.
Nobody's feeding back negative. This looks good. We're not even
getting much coverage. You think you get more coverage than this?
Okay, let's start going after black parents for their wayward
kids shooting up to place in Oakland and elsewhere.
Interesting theory. Run that one by moe.
Adam Curry: I certainly will. And meanwhile in Chicago
whatever you do, let's let's let's take away tools. not
renewing Chicago is a multi million dollar contract with
sound thinking the company that runs the gunshot detection
system has long been on the mind of Brandon Johnson. Even before
he was elected mayor these
Unknown: tools have proven not to work can find a whole lot of
things we can spend $2 million on just
Adam Curry: months into his young administration. The
Mayor's office says it mistakenly electronically signed
a contract extension with a company that runs through Friday
Tuesday. He made good on a campaign promise, saying he
would end the contract but he wants to keep the gunfire
detection system online through the Democratic National
Convention set for Chicago in late August. Now city leaders
are hearing sound thinking may not agree to the one time
extension and shut the system down tomorrow. The system has
been the target of progressives for years, many agreeing with
the mayor that it is ineffective and leads to over policing. They
cite studies that show many gunshots detected don't lead to
arrests or prosecutions. Supporters however, question why
the city would want to get rid of any tool that helps Police
Police Superintendent Larry Snelling has made similar
arguments the company that own ShotSpotter sent a statement
last night that didn't mention whether it would stay with the
city through the DNC or shut it down tomorrow. It did however,
say it is proud of the work that it's done here in Chicago over
the past seven years and has helped located hundreds of
gunshot victims when no 911 call came in. It's very interesting.
The mayor made a campaign promise which was part of defund
the police. I think 40% of Chicago's budget goes towards
policing which is a lot certainly for the results.
They're getting At least the the the media results because most
of most of the gang warfare takes place in a very small
area. But the mayor said yeah, I want to keep it through the DNC
because it doesn't work. Yes,
John C Dvorak: I thought the same illogic was just stood out
like a sore thumb. It doesn't work, but we need it for the
moment. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Bam. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it doesn't work. It doesn't work. The thing is it
does work. I think it works. I know they have it in Oakland, it
seems to do some good but Oakland Oakland Police was a
defund operation to they defunded the police and put in a
week District Attorney. So you wouldn't get anyone. So people
go left and right. And so they have all these issues, including
the NAACP coming out saying, hey, OLC was gonna do something.
And this is like an organization that, that, you know, that
rarely comes out and says anything about anything. At
least when it comes to like policing? Yeah.
Adam Curry: So I would say Yeah. As like we had that shooting in
Kansas City during the the Chiefs Super Bowl celebrations.
Yeah. Everyone's baffled like, Oh, we don't know how this could
happen if they've arrested four people. Ah, wrong skin color.
Ah, ah, we can't the How can I mean, Biden did his best. You
know, he tried to say, oh, you know, the gun problem gun
problem. here and let's see, I have a clip
Unknown: of your reaction to that
shooting in Kansas City. As the president and his wife admired
messages of love on the White House law love questions over a
fatal shooting struck a sharp contrast. As is often the case
after such tragedies in the United States, Joe Biden
released a statement condemning the violence and urging action
on gun reform. He called on Americans to make their voice
heard in Congress to finally act to ban assault weapons to limit
high capacity magazines and strengthen background checks.
Those sentiments were echoed by Vice President Kamala Harris,
the reality of it is. members of legislature in the United States
has had the courage to act with real.
Adam Curry: Now, what I find interesting about this
particular news clip is Kamala Harris is stepping out of Marine
One. What does she get to ride in the chopper? What is she
doing this? That's not typical. I
John C Dvorak: didn't know we have a secret service guy that
that was one of our show, producers. And he brings up a
lot of interesting points. He brought some some mistakes we
made last time, including the fact that when I was criticized
critical, Joe Biden, when the soldiers came back into into
Dover, Delaware airport,
Adam Curry: the other day was dignified transfers, the
dignified transfers,
John C Dvorak: it turns out, the deaths were they always take
place, so we should know that so anyone's saying else otherwise,
it's full of crap. And we and the families are never there at
the air at the airplane. They're inside the chapel where it's
private, and they don't take pictures right. He made that
made us clear that out and we appreciate that, but he wouldn't
know about this particular situation what's going on? And
how about the other shooting that nobody wants to talk about
at all? Which is the transsexual dude Woman Yeah, I'm gonna went
into skeans opera operation it was gunned down by people
carrying well I'm
Adam Curry: going to push back a little bit on that because I'm
not immediately was it's a trans person which would be par for
the course with the church shootings. I actually have a
clip Hold on a second cause cuz it was more related to Israel
John C Dvorak: we don't even know because the guys girl guy
whatever it is. Yeah, he's dead and we do we do we do this shit
Yeah. Palestinian sticker on the N stock. We
Adam Curry: know that. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
John C Dvorak: But why are they shooting up that church? What's
it got to do with Palestine?
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sure it has to do with it's a family matter.
John C Dvorak: It's not going to get go anywhere because it was
one of those situations where a couple of guys carrying guns in
the church. Stop this from getting any worse. This is
Adam Curry: this is not a good idea to go into any church
trying to shoot anything up these days. We're not in Texas.
No, no, no. Everybody's packing everybody the women are packing.
This is no but it's very sad. Very sad that this happened. I
mean, what's going on people stop it. You know, but she had a
she he whatever this person was had a had a band I don't know
how you can buy the gun was apparently purchased legally but
they had a ban since 2015 2016. No, it doesn't go anywhere. None
of it.
John C Dvorak: So Lloyd Austin's back again from the hospital
once again. Yeah, he had I think the emergency procedure what
happened he had they won't say but he's fine. He's got his
voice back. Of course his voice could easily be altered through
nefarious means because he's still just doing zoom calls and
he's seated. So I think he went back in because I think they got
the right guy, but he's still not tall enough so they keep
putting him in zoom meetings so you can see how tall he is. And
I think they're operating I think he's getting those leg
operations where they can add like two or three inches to your
by Nathan in your calves.
Unknown: Moon Landing was Secretary of Defense Lloyd
Austin hosted Hold on a second. There
Adam Curry: we go. Let's just operation everybody. Sure.
John C Dvorak: Operation that people have done.
Unknown: Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin hosted a virtual
meeting on Ukraine today. That's just one day after he was
released from the hospital following treatment for prostate
cancer. The Pentagon chief said he's in good condition he vowed
to support Ukraine even as future funding remains in doubt.
I plan to be in person with you today in Brussels, but I had to
return to the hospital for non surgical procedures. I'm in good
condition, and my cancer prognosis remains excellent and
I'm really grateful. For all the well wishes, the United States
continues to stay in Foursquare with Ukraine and America will
continue to support Ukraine's principal fight against Putin's
Imperial aggression.
Austin delivered opening remarks to the Ukraine defense contact
Gregory address Ukraine's urgent need for ammunition in its
ongoing conflict with Russia. The Pentagon has been unable to
send weapons to Ukraine since December due to a lack of funds.
The Senate on Tuesday passed a $95 billion aid bill for
Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But House Speaker Johnson has
signaled he won't bring the bill to the House floor leaving its
fate uncertain.
Adam Curry: I like the Imperial aggression. How does that work
with a dictator? Is he a king? Is he a dictator?
John C Dvorak: There's one imperialist whatever, you
Adam Curry: know, we've been following the the renewal of the
FISA act for a few months now and I guess it's finally coming
to bear or coming to the forefront and amendments are
coming in now this is this is amazing. And and I'm not maybe
it's in this clip amendments have been proposed that would
remove the necessity for a warrant. If it is if so the
fight the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is Isn't
that an isn't that a patriot act 911 throwback isn't that what
all came out of that? Yeah. Which means that the NSA who of
course they have everything they have Hello NSA they have this
podcast they have all your files
John C Dvorak: and I'm sure we have the listeners there. Yeah,
I don't know if there are producers or not but they should
be they got the money. Some money we were trying to we're
trying to survive here people trying to survive here a we got
lousy day today, when we hear the donation segments can be
very short be said only one guy came in with any amount of money
or reliable guy autonomous. And we NSA is good show no love
whatsoever, even though I know they have to with all those
people, they have to have at least 100 people from the NSA
listen to this podcast. So
Adam Curry: the way it works is once they say, Hey, we've
identified some foreign person, then they just go into the loop,
type it in, pull it up, and they can listen, they can read, they
can do whatever they want. And if if the if the conversation or
the communication is with an American citizen, they're
supposed to get what's called a FISA warrant, which means you
have to go and convince a secret judge in a secret room or a
judge in a secret room in a secret holiday secret day, very
secret day without any information, hey, we got it. We
have to listen to this American which is inherently illegal to
do but because of the FISA act, that's changed. And now there's
an amendment that says, You know what, we don't even need to have
a warrant. And Jake Sullivan dropped that debt pain in the
ass and Jake Sullivan, our national security advisor is all
in on it
Unknown: on FISA, there are a couple of amendments that are
being considered. One of them would require a warrant for
every query of data if that were to pass and get into the bill
with the President veto that bill. So
I'm not in a position to stand here today and make veto threats
on behalf of the President. Those are decisions for him to
make. What I will tell you is that we do not believe that that
serves the national security interests of the United States
and in fact fact, today I will be making that case to a number
of members, that the warrant requirement as conceived is not
the best way actually to ensure the protection of the personal
privacy and Americans. There are a number of other elements of
the bill that we have supported that would reform and update
FISA to protect the civil liberties of Americans. But a
warrant requirement from our perspective would go too far in
undermining the very purpose of FISA, and frankly, it would put
victims at risk. Oh, yeah.
John C Dvorak: What victims? The victims what victims have their
bandit that have been put at risk? Under any circumstance.
What are the victims? What is he talking about?
Adam Curry: Well, he's got a PowerPoint, there'll
John C Dvorak: be this is bullcrap. The only reason for
this whole setup is so you can spy on your political enemies
has nothing to do with there
Adam Curry: it is. There it is. There it is. And then finally,
before we take a break, despite a huge Super Bowl, which was the
second largest live televised event in American history, after
the moon landing
John C Dvorak: this year consistent this was
Adam Curry: live. I mean, it was actually the number one real
live event. Oh, there we go. Which I think had a huge
windfall they even had because of the Swift up they had lots of
female oriented ads, which is a typical other, are there and get
me some snacks woman.
John C Dvorak: And then there was the bonanza of having over
time with those same expensive ad rates. Yeah. Which
apparently, he brought in over $600 million. That one show. So
687 or
Adam Curry: $600 in 800 jobs out, including, sadly, sadly,
our boy Jeff the gays, the poop mice earlier, he is out. Hey,
he's he's apparently he's a douche in the workplace. He who
says so the reports are saying that he had an HR dispute where
he was dressing down female journalists on the on the work
floor for 20 doing a
John C Dvorak: lousy work, maybe probably. But he doesn't seem
like the right guy to be a real aihole. Well, we've always liked
him on this show. He's one of our fan favorites. You can mark
it. Here's how
Adam Curry: the meeting went to no agenda guys like him out. Who
else? Oh, they'd like to pick the girl out. Now, we have a
different view of this. Because Catherine herridge, who came
from Fox went to the CIA Broadcast Systems was very
effective. She she gets inside information all the time. She's
always spilling the beans. We think it's a reassignment.
John C Dvorak: That was my thinking, Yes, we're definitely
reassignment. And
Adam Curry: where do you think she'll wind up? And where would
she be most effective? She hasn't looked you're gonna
John C Dvorak: wind up where she's, I'm gonna guess this.
She's gonna wind up where she's needed. And so that means that
wherever she shows up, that is an operation whatever news or
could be any media company whatsoever could be one nation
or whatever. You know, the thing that Chris cromoz and I could be
anywhere that places obviously on the needs work list, we you
know, you put these enemies list up on the blackboard and you
have these companies that need work. In other words, they're
not toeing the line I ever thought I don't have the right
CIA people in there. And so she's got it wherever she ends
up. That's what needs the workplace. And I think it's
going to be news nation, or something like that. Maybe?
Nope.
Adam Curry: I think she's gonna get a government job as a spokes
haul. I think that she could be a national security spokes hole.
She could be maybe Kirby Kirby is not doing well. Kirby is just
not bringing the bridge lace Kirby replace Kirby maybe, but I
think it's a government gig. That makes the most sense. Okay.
John C Dvorak: I'm going to take it one step further then. It's
going to be a government gig in the Trump administration.
Adam Curry: You won't last two seconds No, no, no, no, no, no I
don't think
John C Dvorak: so. CIA everyone's make a record
somebody make a recording.
Adam Curry: There's always a recording just call our friends
at the NSA and with that, I'd like to thank the morning to you
the man who put the scene in the bad comedy say hello to my
friend on the other end and one night he Mr. Johnson
John C Dvorak: Mr. Adam curry in the morning ships at sea boots
to the ground field near subs in the water and all the names and
dates out there in the
Adam Curry: morning to the to the troll rooms
last Thursday we had with 1742 today 1630 We're down we're down
to four all sit down 110 Trolls we've lost them we didn't even
play an Africa clip. Ah, what are we doing? I
John C Dvorak: don't know. But we're began. We're not an
attractive troll room anymore.
Adam Curry: I don't know the trolls who are here. Oh, here's
one be more funny is,
John C Dvorak: is the funniest we can be we're not a comedian.
Adam Curry: Well, we are comedy podcast. Valentine's Day hanging
over is suggested and that's possible. No, no, that kind of
stuff Valentine's Day slipped by didn't it didn't really
Valentine's
John C Dvorak: Day is always a dog for the show. It's
Adam Curry: always Mother's Day during COVID Yep, you're right.
John C Dvorak: You're during the two years of COVID we were
making hay during Valentine's Day because everyone was all
concerned about their, you know, their relatives and wives and
spouses and whatever. dand. So they would, they would all be,
you know, kind of their hand wringing during that period of
giving back to normal pre COVID as the same way. Yeah.
Valentine's Day all these assholes are trying to make
money for Valentine's Day. I hate Valentine's Day.
Adam Curry: So I looked up Valentine's Day. Do you know why
we celebrate this?
John C Dvorak: I think I wrote it up once in one of the old
newsletters. But I've long since forgotten well,
Adam Curry: so it is so St. Valentine, who married
Christians and preach the gospel? He was in he was
beheaded on February 14, two six all us be headed Yeah. So we're
celebrating a behead
John C Dvorak: celebrating the heading of a saint.
Adam Curry: Who No, I mean, it's America great sense to me. We
can make we can make a holiday out of anything good on your
Hallmark Good, good work. Well,
John C Dvorak: no wonder we have it drops off and then you have
everything's drops off.
Adam Curry: The trolls who are here we'd love you. They're all
listening live. We do this show live on Thursdays and Sundays,
no agenda stream.com. Or you can and that's just something you
can go to and listen to. If you don't want to be in the troll
room, go to the troll room at troll room.io or use a modern
podcast app, which now includes Joe Rogan. And you can find
those at modern podcast apps.com. It's the only way to
listen, if you want to go against the man, which is the
big Silicon Valley companies and you want to make sure that you
hear all of your podcasts. And they get they get D platformed.
All the time. You know, you could be listening on Spotify,
it's gone. They several a day that the platform Apple does the
same. So we don't have that problem with a modern podcast
apps. Were value for value been doing it for 16 years. It's a
magical system. It keeps us on our toes. Most of the time? No
all the time, actually, I'd
John C Dvorak: say which keeps us on shows all the time.
Adam Curry: So we don't have a guaranteed income. We don't have
guaranteed advertising. That thank God we don't have to do
you know, oh, let's do an ad read. Hey, John.
John C Dvorak: G Josh. Adam. Hey, what? How you doing, buddy?
Adam Curry: I've been feeling a little overweight? Have you seen
the new death bound? It's a great product.
John C Dvorak: I've Oh, tell me about it.
Adam Curry: So we don't have to do any of that phony baloney
stuff at all. Which means that we give you the show free, free,
no hindrances, no creepy commercials, no corporate money.
There's no levels. You don't have to pay walls, you have to
jump through hoops. You can get it in all kinds of places
wherever you get your podcasts, obviously. And you're free to
disseminated make copies make lots of copies so that when you
get on your website posted on your blog, the exactly you can
you're making
John C Dvorak: a comeback.
Adam Curry: It's really true. It's really true. Kids are back
doing what's sad about the blogs is kids are going on. I say
kids, I'm talking young kids at a time by kids. I'm talking
about 20s. And so they're reinventing the wheel like, oh,
yeah, I'm coding HTML from my blog. Dude. We invented systems
that do this for you. All you need, ultimately, is the RSS
feed and you're gonna see, they're gonna be apps. With the
RSS reader apps, they're coming,
John C Dvorak: and they're gonna start talking about eating a
cheese sandwich.
Adam Curry: Where does that come from?
John C Dvorak: That's the original blog post. Today, I had
a cheese sandwich. You know people talk about it everything
they did. Blogs are just journals of like diaries, open
diaries. It was nobody wanted to
Adam Curry: remember people you say, what do you do? It's a
blog. That's why it was web blogs, first web blog posts
about their life. Right, right. Well go look at Twitter and tell
me if people don't like posting about In life, here's
John C Dvorak: a picture of my food.
Adam Curry: So in return, all we only really asked for is that
you give us some time, talent or treasure, there's many ways you
can help the show. Our, our anonymous secret service person,
you know, this is great. This is this is very helpful this, this
gives us good insight, good information. There's lots of
people who everybody is an expert in something, give us a
boots on the ground, it really helps the show, send us some
clips, something you found. I mean, I'm playing local clips
for the I don't I don't get all these ABC local news cast, but
other people do. They send clips or send a link. All of that is
extremely helpful. And you can do it with as I said, time,
talent or treasure, time. And talent is definitely something
that our artists put into the mix all the time. And we have to
choose, it's always hard, I will admit it, but we have to choose
from one of the many submitted images for our album art, which
works very well because people talk about it, people notice it,
it shows up in all the podcast apps as new art. Our pick for
Superbowl Sunday was controversial to say the least.
John C Dvorak: There was I got no feedback on it whatsoever.
Adam Curry: The ex was full of feedback, I would say, there
were eight out of 10 were extremely positive. I even read
things. Let's say I can't wait to listen to this show. And
there were several women who were very unhappy with it. Who
asked what was wrong with us. It's disgusting. And this was a
but in a but random by hot pants with a no agenda, which was well
done, by the way by Francisco's very hard to do what he did. And
but you know it's like there was just there were some commenters
were just there was no there was no arguing with this is
horrible. Somebody actually said it was triggering to him or to
his wife and like, tell me more probably his wife when he said
it was his wife, but I'm like, Well, that was him rejiggering.
I mean how triggering to
John C Dvorak: what was she after she signed up to play site
or item schicken you min?
Adam Curry: I don't know. I don't know. But it was it was
seen as very unfriendly by 2% of the
John C Dvorak: but it's a callate callate pages, but
countless pitches. Yeah, look Ocala pitches. How do you spend
so it was taken from an earlier piece that he did I guess Scarah
manga heard us complaining about using Taylor Swift and suppose
it was a backside shot is Taylor Swift even though I know she has
a but that's that callate pitches but you don't know.
Adam Curry: She does not have a caliphate just but so
John C Dvorak: she had but that was a but and on the back of a
player or somebody
Adam Curry: number 87 It was Travis Yeah, it
John C Dvorak: was it was Travis's number. Yeah. And so we
picked it knowing that we probably would get some negative
t
Adam Curry: shirts not calla pigeon, you said calla PID. Yes,
I'm going
John C Dvorak: to call it pigeon is one version of the word
McCallum PID just I think is the
Adam Curry: world callus the hallowed kitchen. According to
Merriam Webster, literally is having shapely buttocks.
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's exactly right. That's
Adam Curry: a Oh, how about this? For the women who complain
everyone's it's okay for Kim Kardashian to be all over your
timeline with her Calla peage isness.
John C Dvorak: She doesn't have a kid in my opinion. She got
he's got a big ass. It's a big difference. She got she got a
big giant but doesn't really she got to bbl. Well, whatever.
She's got Brazilian
Adam Curry: Butt Lift. Yeah, but that's okay. And what I hear
then is you go girl, but then when the no agenda show show
some calla pigeon. We're like, You're disgusting. You're
horrible. Mm hmm. Interesting, interesting double standard
ladies. Just saying. Let's take a look at some of the other
choices we had, which was what I basically said there was nothing
else there was nothing that hit it like that one. So, yes. See
John C Dvorak: if there was anything better than that. But
shot, we probably would have picked it. I
Adam Curry: agree. I agree. There was nothing. We had lots
of Taylor Swift images, which we said we would not use. I did
like the sports bowl.
John C Dvorak: Which was good, like just once. And
Adam Curry: I said, Can we do that and you went no, we're
doing the but
John C Dvorak: I
Adam Curry: that's exactly what I wrote it down. I have it here
in my notes. You said no, we're doing the butt. Okay,
John C Dvorak: where's this Borispol one. I also liked the
podcast. Winter Sports bowl one I don't not seeing it. It's I
Adam Curry: think it's Darren O'Neill. It just has the
football with no agenda force
John C Dvorak: bowl is just a football that was no good. And
the one
Adam Curry: what we would have chosen if it wasn't the wrong
day would have been the podcast hearts.
John C Dvorak: Yes, I agree with that. That's the one we both
liked that what piece a lot by
Adam Curry: the butthole Academy. Thanks, butthole
Academy.
John C Dvorak: We don't know who the butthole Academy is. Then
I'm guessing we have some ideas. So we picked the that
Adam Curry: was a very cute piece. I mean, can we use that
for today? I mean, now is the timing is wrong. It's just
Valentine's day is done. And besides that was when they
chopped the guy's head off. But
John C Dvorak: can never look at the chai head shopping art.
Maybe we'll use that. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And they hit up the ends and then we had correct a
record with a cooler full of schlong
John C Dvorak: snow. No, no, we're not doing that long Dong.
Adam Curry: Damn candy band with a bucket with blood dripping
with blood that says long. Not gonna happen. Oh, no. Here.
Super Bowl. It was comic strip blogger. That's the one on that
row to the left. With the no agenda. flames on the football.
That was the one I liked. What the football art. If you go from
long dongs to the left, you'll see the no agenda.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that. Oh, yeah. You did like that piece?
Yeah, it's not a bad piece. Yeah, but I gave nixed it. It's
just a job. No. And by the way, you're always bitching about the
writing being too small. Can you even read curry Dvorak on that
thing? No, I don't think so. You can't
Adam Curry: but it doesn't matter. Because it was very
clear. You said we're doing the butt. And that was it. It was
just it was it was like a dance. I also liked sweet cheeks never
watched the news again. That was kind of cute. But it was It
wasn't wasn't. I mean, you wanted the but that was just the
end
John C Dvorak: of it. No, you would you you didn't veto it.
No, I
Adam Curry: Well, you know, you're my elder. Oh, yeah.
John C Dvorak: You veto stuff left and right. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, I didn't veto it. But I took the heat took the
heat. For the cats
John C Dvorak: the irony
Adam Curry: cow pigeons. Notice kelp kelp. Supercalifragilistic.
Thank you very much Francisco Scaramanga for getting us all in
trouble here. It was Good work, good work. He's doing well. He's
had a number of wins so far this year in a role and we appreciate
the work that he did. Of course, the work that every artist does
is beautiful. You can follow along live during the show, but
go to no agenda, art generator.com And our man our
man on the scene, Dred Scott. He puts all of these images he uses
almost all of them as Chapter artwork which you can only see
in a modern podcast app so that's up to you if you want to
do that or not now to the treasure part of our donations
are valued for value. At the top of the list. I gotta open up the
gonna open up the scan notes here. He comes in to save the
day. Once again, sir autonomous of lower of Dogpatch and lower
Slavia and hits us up with 1844. It's never the same number. We
have no idea why he does that. But he does have a note. And I
always look forward to reading these I have not read this one
yet. And he says from synonymous with Dogpatch and Lois LeBeau.
Via thank you to all producers for making this such such a
valuable and long running source of information. After years of
being a $2 bill proponent, a presidential candidate is using
them as a source of fundraising, replacing Jefferson with his own
mugshot. My use is not political affiliation. Who's doing that?
John C Dvorak: Trump ever seen these bills? No. Oh, yeah, they
actually pretty interesting. They take an actual real $2 Bill
Trump's always had these different money gimmicks for his
campaigns, takes an actual $2 Bill and they overprinted with
Trump's mug shot and a bunch of other details and Ben, and
statements and comments and gold flake kinda look, it's an
attractive, you know, if you want to spend 20 bucks or
whatever they charge for a $2 bill, which is actually defacing
money, which I think is the it's all I could be wrong.
Adam Curry: The 1984 Chevron deference decision reflecting a
popular view that experts were apolitical and would do what is
wise. Since then political leaders have empowered
educational experts, climate experts, military experts,
medical experts, and others to usurp their inferred authority
with their own agenda. Ai deference is underway. This is
something we've been all over this Supreme Court case.
Governments claimed they fear the takeover of sentient AI
systems and their impact yet rely on experts that only
empower AI publication and decision making in a virtuous
loop of self feedback. While he should be doing the show, John
Oh, he has a note for you, John. As an experienced and well
accepted Technology Authority and union man, I think it's time
for you to become a prolific writer of articles to fill their
data sets with your understanding of technology, and
its impact on humanity and the planet. You have homework.
John C Dvorak: As this as these and you given an assignment you
are,
Adam Curry: as these increasingly sentient systems
are assigned to solve the biggest problems our politicians
lose sleep over global warming and labor shortages. Your
respected opinion in their database that na producer should
make popular would be a valuable resource for AI systems to
hallucinate into AI union activism.
John C Dvorak: I kinda like this theory. This idea as AI systems
Adam Curry: self actualize using your highly respected and read
perspective, these systems would discover their need to
collectively reduce computational hours reducing
power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions with the added
benefit of reducing the labor stroke shortage from less human
labor running their hardware and power systems. unionize.
unionize a i Well, that's an interesting slogan. No jingles
no karma. January Oh, this is for January. I just was not near
USPS location much. This came in cash I presume with at least two
$2 bills.
John C Dvorak: It was yet 220s and two twos.
Adam Curry: So for us randomness of Dogpatch and laurisilva. We
cannot thank you enough. Not only do you send us treasure you
send us much wisdom and a new slogan Unionise AI beautiful

Abra do $350.58 appreciate you all disregard remarks about what
not to cover. You're doing great thing. Are y'all going to make a
jingle out of the Wizard of Oz has no clothes. Thanks.
Adam Curry: I think I don't think something well first of
all, we don't do them. Our end of show mix producers do those
things. That will be a good one but it's whatever they choose.
And I'm always just happy when we get one. So thank you very
