John C Dvorak: You're talking to me about this EPA that's
supposed to be clamping down on everything and it's causing a
bit of regulatory problems for the small farmers of the world.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: You're at 2020. For the show award winning
accumulation media assassination, Episode 1635.
This
Unknown: is no agenda,
Adam Curry: renewing your mind and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region number six.
In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
John C Dvorak: and I'm from Northern Silicon Valley, where
we're all being pounded by climate change. I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Adam Curry: You being pounded, pounded by climate change what's
going on? Yeah, I've
John C Dvorak: been pounded with rain last night. It's windy now.
It's gonna rain about there. But when the show ends, it's gonna
start raining again, as you have and you know, this is a big,
this is a big deal, because I
Adam Curry: can hear I can hear the branches against your window
again. Yeah, that's annoying, very annoying that it happens.
John C Dvorak: If it's annoying to you, you can imagine what I
think yes. Meanwhile, of course, I'm not black, so I don't really
have the full impact.
Adam Curry: Do I do have that clip?
John C Dvorak: Of course I do. Good. Blacks.
Adam Curry: This was quite unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: Rachel Levine by the way,
Adam Curry: this is a this is a dude pretending to be a woman in
an army skirt. Hello,
Unknown: I'm Admiral Rachel Levine. This black history month
I'm pleased to partner with OMH in advancing better health
through better understanding for black communities. Climate
change is having a disproportionate effect on the
physical and mental health of black communities. Black
Americans are more likely than white Americans to live in areas
and housing that increase their susceptibility to climate
related health issues. And 65% of black Americans report
feeling anxious about climate changes impact through our
office of climate change and health equity, and the Office of
Environmental Justice. We're working with providers and
community leaders to identify innovative approaches that
empower communities to address to health consequences linked to
climate change. Visit hhs.gov for more information and tune in
next Thursday, so hear from another HHS leader and how you
can contribute to advancing better health for black
communities. Omar second.
Adam Curry: Hey, Mo Hey, MO You okay, just go check out MO You
know, because the climate change might be hurting my buddy. Oh,
yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, black family that lives down the hill,
and it's raining on them right now.
Adam Curry: It's not raining on you only on them? Yeah, it's
weird. Well, if you thought that was weird, how's your money
doing? Because your money changed with this climate change
has something happened your financials.
John C Dvorak: Probably, here's
Adam Curry: a dude in a dress. Tonight. I'm sorry. I set it up
so perfectly. Here's the dude in a dress in Europe,
Unknown: floods, droughts and wildfires last year, with just a
preview of what is to come. But hotter climate and nature loss
are changing our economy and our financial system. At the ECB, we
must understand this change to ensure financial stability and
to fulfill our price stability mandate. With our new climate
and nature plan, we focus on the following three things. First,
the green transition. Second, the growing physical impact of
climate change. And third, the risks from nature loss and
degradation. We will study the impact on the economy and the
financial system. This will help us improve our own models. We
will also work to reduce our carbon footprint in everything
we do. From banknotes to how we supervise banks climate
Adam Curry: changes is blowing the banknotes away cbdc Incoming
Europe ready for it. This is so absurd. And it seems like it's
putting dudes in dresses. That seems to be the worst thing
going on here. That's
John C Dvorak: very strange, is it's very strange. I
Adam Curry: mean, it's so I mean ice Of course, everyone saw the
video of Admiral Admiral living What's your name?
John C Dvorak: Admiral Levine,
Adam Curry: roll Levine. And each I mean, I don't know, my
brain still can't get used to it. I'm sorry. And then what's
coming out of this person's mouth is just what are you
talking about?
John C Dvorak: Well, I have a series of clips if you want to
start with since we're on climate change. Well, I
Adam Curry: need to say something important. First of
all, just so everybody knows. You've probably seen the video
yesterday. deed. We are actually two Golden Retrievers podcasting
from a snowy mountaintop. I just want everyone to understand
that's us.
John C Dvorak: I have not seen this video. Oh,
Adam Curry: you didn't hear about Surah Surah Surah from
open AI it's chain. The movie business will be bankrupt in
five years. Oh, you just type in a prompt and it does a video.
Whoa. So there's like three examples. You've seen it? Comic
Strip bloggers all over. Dude with red wool knit hat is space
helmet. You haven't seen that either. What do you do in
between shows? I'm not dealing
John C Dvorak: with AI. I'm getting clips like this series
of clips about the first time PBS on a Saturday of course,
decides to finally do a wrap of the farmers protests. Oh, the
ones in Europe. You're kidding me? All about? Yes. Oh, yeah.
No, it's all about it's all about climate change. And here
we go. With the farm rap one buy it fields
Unknown: to busy city streets. farmers around the world have
launched protests in recent weeks. They're demanding relief
from what they say is a crisis. Ali Rogen reports on what's
driving these protests and what it means for food supply and
climate policy.
They come in convoys of tractors. Armed with the fruits,
bread, and even the livestock of their labor. From Italy, to
India, farmers are taking to the streets sometimes facing
violence, sometimes causing it protesting policies, they say
kill their livelihoods. We're gonna go do that. Every culture
has been on its knees for a long time, we have reached the end of
our rope. In fact, farmers in dozens of countries on six
continents have been staging protests since 2021. This year,
most protests have been in European countries and India.
The grievances vary by country. But there's one common message
farmers can no longer bear the burden of economic and climate
policies.
There is a sense of a rupture in the social contract between
farmers and their governments.
Adam Curry: Oh, at least there are that's a pretty honest
assessment, the climate policy that was Yeah, okay. I'll take
that from PBS. Way to go PBS. Three more clips. I'm sure they
can screw it up somewhere.
John C Dvorak: Well, there's a little guy. There's a funny
little thing in there that I thought was interesting. I don't
know if you'll catch it when it goes by because I didn't catch
it till the second time. But you'll it's cool that coincides
with a lot of these protests too. Let's go with part two.
Danielle
Unknown: Resnick is a senior research fellow at the
International Food Policy Research Institute.
In the EU, it's a sense that farmers are being forced to
unfairly bear the burden of a lot of the EU regulations to
meet climate emission targets in India. There's a sense that
farmers are are overburdened. They're worried about various
shocks including climate shocks, and they want some type of
social protection. In
Europe. Those regulations include limits on pesticides and
the amount of land they can harvest annually. Farmers
they're also worried about competition from abroad and
Ukraine, which has temporary tariff free access to EU markets
stop suppose Ukraine then stop
grain from Ukraine. Stop the Green Deal you're granting about
our land.
In India, farmers want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to expand
a long standing policy of setting minimum prices for
certain crops. In 2021, Modi tried but failed to scrap the
policy following an earlier round of protests. Farmers have
been marching from the north where the protests began to the
capital, but police and soldiers have blocked their way.
Adam Curry: Hamada delete, what are we doing? We go to Delhi or
not.
Unknown: You have not come here to clashed with our soldiers.
We just want our demands met for a law regarding the
implementation as a minimum support price. Experts say the
protests are politically timed. Both the Indian and European
Parliament elections are set for this spring.
I think farmers unions are being politically savvy in some ways
and trying to get their their issues on the top of the
political agenda. Even though we think of them as kind of small
scale farmers. They are pretty politically powerful. I
Adam Curry: don't like that they pivot to India, all of a sudden,
it's annoying.
John C Dvorak: Well, India has fairly similar protests, but
their protests are based on the different Yeah, they there's
this based on the fact that they Modi has decided to because he's
thinks of himself as a capitalist to pull the rug out
from under the price fixing. Yeah, which has been a tradition
there. And so that's
Adam Curry: the same set not the same as climate policies, where
you can't have as many cows and you can't use fertilizer. I like
the you grain as a brand by the way y o u GRAINN. U grain
John C Dvorak: like the dam is a brand Yeah, but I think no no
grain from Ukraine has an interesting little problem
they've got there too and yeah, it's a good slow because the
Ukrainians would which is a huge producer of agricultural
products. They're traditionally shipped the grain that they make
to Africa. Yes, screw those because of the blockades and
whatever the Russians are almost behind the whole thing, of
course. It's fascinating. Anyways, next clip, and
Unknown: ahead of the votes leader seem to be listening to
the farmers, France scrapped a plan to end tax breaks for
tractor diesel, and the EU abandoned a plan to reduce
pesticide use, and postponed a deadline for farmers to leave
some land fallow to improve biodiversity. Tyler also emitted
farmers from recommendations fallow fallow
John C Dvorak: delivered to rot Oh, it
Unknown: also emitted farmers from a recommendation to reduce
greenhouse gases by 90%. By 2040. Farmers
need a worthwhile business case. For nature enhancing measures,
perhaps we have not made that case convincingly
Adam Curry: nature enhancing but
Unknown: many stakeholders like some European moderates and
environmentalists believe politicians are caving to
farmers to prevent them from deepening alliances from farming
their death, not their cause. And they know that agriculture
is a major driver of climate change, accounting for more than
10% of the EU's total greenhouse gases.
I think an attack of the green agenda is seen as really an
opportunity for right wing party Oh, there it is seen more seats
in the parliament at the expense rectly parties. They see this as
an opportunity to really mobilize on grievances to
perhaps for with their own agenda around migration policies
and other types of nativist ways that would resonate with some of
EU farmers concerns.
Adam Curry: These people are going to be so hungry, because
you know, the summer of pork is coming lady the summer of
Chinese poor looking.
John C Dvorak: You're looking for the PVS screw up and go that
was Yeah, no kidding.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, right. It's right. Weighing Yes. Okay.
We are
John C Dvorak: starving to death. It's right wing
conspiracy. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Again, there's us people starving, you know, to
promote migration. Okay, I got it. I got it. I think there's
one.
Unknown: But some experts say leaders must find ways to make
the transition less burdensome for farmers and the entire
system. They represent most
of the world's followed by small farms, family farms, and they're
the ones who don't have the depth of financial depth and the
resources to really shoulder this burden in the way that
they're being asked to. They are being asked to adjust to
environmental regulations in a fast period of time.
Chris Hagen Dorn is a professor of global food politics at coos
po in Paris. This is where
governments can step in and start spending money differently
to address the costs not only to these farmers, but the cost that
we're seeing from environmental damage, climate change,
temperature increases, violent weather increases. After
all, as the protesters sign say, without farmers there is no
food. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, that's right. That's right. Without farmers
there is no food but that just is just lip service. I don't
care. Care when they get to get their food more of pork. Well,
this kind of goes along with this breaking story, which we
still have to figure out. Who is this a hit job on other than
General Mills this morning.
Unknown: A first of its kind study has discovered a little
known pesticide is present in some common breakfast foods
are quite itself as a chemical can be harmful if you're exposed
to a large amount of it.
A nonprofit called the Environmental Working Group
studied quorum aquat. In the US, the chemical is only allowed on
ornamental plants, but the EPA allows it to be used on imported
oats and other food. The study found 90% of food items tested
contained Cormac watt, including Quaker Oats and Cheerios, and
most Americans in a small group tested positive for it. Obvious
research on animals found the chemical can damage reproductive
systems and disrupt fetal growth that
gives us concern for how this chemical might also
it's important to note it's not yet known how they affect
humans, and doctors say with its relatively small sample size,
this study should not cause any panic. So we
do need to take this with a big asterisk that it's not
necessarily generalizable to a large population, and we don't
yet know what the implications are for humans.
So what's the takeaway? Doctors say there's no need to
drastically change your eating habits or to strictly buy
organic
organic foods by definition don't contain pesticides, but I
don't want People out there to think that organic necessarily
always means healthier and they have to do that or they're doing
a disservice to their family. This guy should lay off the soy,
you can still find nutritious foods that are not organic. It's
just about knowing exactly what you're eating and making an
individualized empowered choice.
The group that conducted the study is asking the government
to mandate more testing. Meanwhile, the food companies
have insisted their products meet all regulatory
requirements.
Adam Curry: Now, this quorum aquat.
John C Dvorak: Look what I mean. They also work with a chemical.
Yeah, here we
Adam Curry: go. No, I just want to love you. You got
John C Dvorak: Chevron oil refinery, they there was a
product they made called paraquat is used I think
paraquat was used. I don't can't remember the details, but I
think it was used everywhere. It's a fungus site.
Adam Curry: Welcome to quiet talk. Maybe ladies and
gentlemen. This has
John C Dvorak: to be some sort of derivative of that. And it
has to be some sort of a fungus. I'm guessing it's a fungus site
of some sort. I have I have a fun guy from getting on the
oats.
Adam Curry: I have a follow up clip that kind of explains what
it is. Don't you want to listen to that?
Unknown: Yes, I would like he is research on pesticides has
always been about letting people know
Adam Curry: this is produced has got music. It's annoying. That
means something's up that I personally think it's just to
get us to use cricket flour, but we'll say ew G is
Unknown: research on pesticides has always been about letting
people know what they can be exposed to through the foods
that they're eating. When
I first heard my colleagues tell me they found a former clot in
the foods that they had tested, I said what's Chloroquine?
Chloroquine is a new chemical in the US food supply. It is used
primarily on green crops like oats and we once we learn that
the EPA had essentially started allowing Chloroquine on oat
based products that were being imported into the US we decided
to test them and
Adam Curry: then they go on and on. This is produced It's a hit
piece for some reason, but it's a new chemical. It's probably
what the what the chemtrails are full Have you what else? What
else is supposed to be used for? Was it for fancy plants? For
decorative plants? Not on your food? But they specifically call
out Quaker Oats and Cheerios, which I think are both General
Mills products.
John C Dvorak: Yes.
Adam Curry: There's something up with that. Well, I don't like
John C Dvorak: I still would like to know what the clip right
overs on there. But they clipped in tell me what the what is for.
And
Unknown: we tested those products. We found Chloroquine
in over 90% of those samples. That was samples like cereals,
breakfast bars, snack bars, really common foods that people
are eating every day, meet
others us toxicologists looked at the chemistry of this
particular chemical and were alarmed.
Chloroquine causes really concerning health effects and
animal studies. It harms the reproductive system, and it can
disrupt fetal flow. That gives us concern for how this chemical
might also impact human health.
Adam Curry: Oh, maybe this is why we're not making baby again.
Yeah, I know. I
Unknown: know. Once we knew it was really important.
Adam Curry: This was from
John C Dvorak: the Chloroquine what when, where, why, what is
it used for?
Adam Curry: She said it in the beginning.
Unknown: EWTN is research on pesticides has always been about
letting people know what they can be.
Found corm o'clock in the morning
Adam Curry: somewhere it's set at home.
Unknown: And in the food supply. The next question was our study
is published and tested the urine of about to find a little
bit of Chloroquine.
Adam Curry: Chloroquine is used to kill people, if that's
obvious. There's no other reason for it. We can have up
John C Dvorak: for mcquoddy, that's a core my quiet Yeah,
Adam Curry: with a que chlor Makau? Yes
John C Dvorak: ch QA team
Adam Curry: is an organic compound that is used as a plant
growth regulator. Oh, it's hormone it's a hormone blocker.
It's typically sold as the chloride salt chloride aquat
chloride, a colorless hydro scopic Crystaline substance that
is soluble in water and ethanol. It is an alkylating agent and a
quaternary ammonium salt. So it can cause stem thickening
reduced stem height additional root development plants dwarfing
this this doesn't sound good. When
John C Dvorak: did they use it? Again I'm asking what would
whether they use it they using it to a plant growth regulator
stronger here
Adam Curry: it is. In the United States core mcquoddy is
classified as a low risk plant growth regulator and is
registered for use on ornamental plants grown in greenhouses
nurseries and shade houses. It is not approved it says here in
the Wikipedia for use on crops intended for animal or human
consumption. Hmm Oh wait. In April 2023, the Biden
administration's EPA proposed allowing the use of the chemical
for the first time. You're
John C Dvorak: talking to me about the this EPA that's
supposed to be clamping down on everything and it's causing a
bit of regulatory problems for the small farmers of the world.
Correct. They let this slide. Yeah. Well,
Adam Curry: I think this is not just letting it slide. This is
intentional. A human side. This is genocide. This genocide Joe
at work. Genocide, Joe? Yeah, he's trying to kill us. This
doesn't sound good. Why would? Why would you even want this? I
mean, it just makes your stem thick.
John C Dvorak: Well, for wheat, where me guessing is blowing
over because of the wind of the climate change.
Adam Curry: Oh, in 2018, the Trump administration EPA loosens
regulations to allow the importation of foods from
countries that permit core aquat to be used on food crops. And in
2020, that allowable amount was increased. Isn't that nice?
John C Dvorak: Way, man, you're telling me where's this food
coming? resists come to China, China. The EU is all uptight
about using anything like this. This can't be EU policy. No,
Adam Curry: no, I don't think so. I don't want to see if
there's any Africa,
John C Dvorak: South America, Mexico. I don't know. We're
getting closer, but
Adam Curry: I don't see why they need to use it at all. It
doesn't seem like it doesn't make
John C Dvorak: sense. It can lead you to have some very
specific reasons. It's got to be a delivery can
Adam Curry: cause stem thickening reduced stem height
additional root development plant dwarfing and increase
chloro chlorophyll concentration
John C Dvorak: and your zero 30 State University.
Adam Curry: This is bad. This is bad. You shouldn't be eating
that stuff. Anyway. Cheerios. Cheerios don't eat Cheerios give
your kid some bacon and eggs. Cheerios with some sugar hmm,
gets started off right all jacked for school. Do you find
anything or can we move
John C Dvorak: on? No, I'm not gonna I don't have time to read
through this whole paper but you Oregon State's done a whole
thing on it the effects of plant growth regulator Clora clerk
clerk chloroform a quorum aquat. chlor. Chloride only doesn't
even
Adam Curry: has a gasoline name. That's that's not great
branding. We call it Boston. Chloride aquat.
John C Dvorak: Get turned over the Big Pharma they'll come a
Meeting adjourned.
Adam Curry: All right, I'm gonna move on because blogger died
suddenly big news.
Unknown: Blogger and lawyer turned opposition politician and
anti corruption campaigner. Alexei Navalny was a menace for
the Kremlin who is not afraid to call President Putin out
directly. a retrial in 2017 prevented him from running for
office, this time for presidents against Vladimir Putin. That
same year, he was attacked with a green antiseptic fluid that
caused him damage in the vision of his right eye and temporarily
dyed his skin green. In August 2020
Adam Curry: better best net pop ever let's do that when
Unknown: green August 2020, on a flight from Tomsk to Moscow, the
valley fell seriously ill and emergency diversion by the
plains pilot appears to have saved his life. Amid an
international outcry, he was allowed to fly for treatments to
Germany, where it was discovered he had been poisoned with
novichok chemical nerve agents, but an assassination attempt and
a medically induced coma didn't determine the value from taking
his fight to a higher level who comes down to him. Whilst
recovering in Germany. He conducted a sting operation
against an FSB agent, convincing the operative to detail in a
phone call how the novichok was used against him that was then
broadcast on his YouTube channel. Shortly after, he
released a video offering Russians and look at what his
team called Putin's Palace, a mansion by the Black Sea, which
is estimated to be worth more than a billion dollars.
President Putin denied the palace belongs to him or his
family members. On January 2021, the valley returned to Moscow
after receiving life saving treatment in Germany. He was
immediately arrested for violating probation terms
imposed from a 2014 case sent to a penal colony where he went on
hunger strike.
Adam Curry: Okay, now we both have clips on this. The beauty
of This particular event of course, if the guy is really
dead there's still no actual confirmation from the family as
of Showtime that is, in fact I have the clip for that. You just
won't let me go okay,
John C Dvorak: which clip is it? You're gonna go where not which
Adam Curry: clip you go, we'll play it
John C Dvorak: well good question
Adam Curry: Okay, well you're looking that up so we still
don't actually know that has happened but there's a few
things that have started first of all, we've gone from died
suddenly to drop dead suddenly. Now we don't want to confuse the
people out there. So the M five M has decided instead of using
the died suddenly which has been in the news for three years,
people so and so died suddenly died suddenly, none of us with
him, it's dropped dead suddenly.
John C Dvorak: That well, you that died suddenly refers to
vaxis. Well, and of course,
Adam Curry: the since he looks so great, just a couple of days
ago when he was doing some legal thing, which no one can explain
either our show and he was walking outside, he went for a
stroll in this horrible penal colony, which looks like a
quaint little kind of Swiss chalet village. At least that's
what they're showing on the on the news. So in this penal
colony, you can just walk around
John C Dvorak: the Vani PBS clip, okay,
Unknown: there we go. Now that the mother of Russian opposition
leader Alexei Navalny has been formally notified of her son's
death, she's pressing for details of how the 47 year old
died in a remote penal colony in the Arctic in hopes of seeing
her son's body Liudmyla novel Nya and the volleys lawyer went
to the morgue where she was told he had been taken. But once they
got there, the facility was closed. She wants his remains
handed over for Barry Okay. Russia says that won't happen
until its investigation is over. There's no official cause of
death. No volleys lawyer says he was murdered. In Moscow. Navalny
supporters risked arrest to lay flowers at a memorial to him and
a monument for victims of Soviet era purges since ordered to
volleys death. Russian police have arrested more than 300
people across the country. Now I want to
Adam Curry: play a couple of clips first we'll start with the
BBC. They always give us a fair and balanced account. Because
what are the chances? Isn't it amazing? This happens right on
day two of the Munich Security Conference.
Unknown: Oh, the mood was absolutely electric. The news.
Never
Adam Curry: lose this. By the way. This Munich Security
Conference is like the Oscars for war guys and gals. That I
mean, they're there. They're all in their uniforms. They're in
their Smithies, they got the limos they got the lights. The
mood was electrifying. Oh, the mood on the red carpet.
Unknown: Absolutely electric the news that Navalny was dead, just
shocked, like a bolt of electricity through the Munich
Security Conference. Just at that moment in the morning where
the limousines were arriving. There was a hubbub at the Grand
Hotel where the conference takes place was filling up with
defense chiefs, top diplomats, presidents, and hookers. I'm
indices kings, many of them old friends. And then all of a
sudden this came out of the blue, blue. So many were
reading. If they know Nepal knew they knew these are
Adam Curry: people who send kids to war. They weren't reeling.
They weren't really
John C Dvorak: swoon. Oh my god, hold me before I pass out
Unknown: in the comments of Radek Sikorski, many leaders had
come to this conference already deeply worried about Russia's
full scale invasion of Ukraine, worrying about Ukraine war and
the need to keep supporting Ukrainian forces worry too,
about the Gaza war. There were many dark clouds and then
suddenly, this one came and blotted out everything else.
Adam Curry: There were many dark clouds on the red carpet at the
Grand Hotel of the Munich Security Conference, but this
one came out and there was no sunshine available,
Unknown: but to a person whether it was Jens Stoltenberg, the
NATO Secretary General saying Russia has a lot of questions to
answer. We went to see Lord Cameron, the British Foreign
Secretary, blaming Vladimir Putin personally, but the moment
which will go down in history Oh, which stunned the hall when
Yulia navall Nee was known. She was at the conference somewhere
when asked Where was she? What
Adam Curry: a coincidence, his wife is there at the conference.
I mean, of course, if you have a blogger who's in a penal colony,
you want to have her at a war conference that makes
John C Dvorak: what she was scrounging around at the by the
up in the in the Urals, or wherever they held Siberia, they
trying to get into the mortuary How'd she get over the
conference so quick, she was
Adam Curry: in the, in the speaker suite. And
Unknown: Yulia Novotny was an own she was at the conference
somewhere. And when asked Where was she, we saw his wife through
the main door. And onto the not just the stage but a world
stage. So calm, so composed at a million of the greatest please
Adam Curry: don't say that up now. There's also an up so I
what I love about the Munich Security Conference, everybody's
there. Everybody's got something to say. So I have two, two
clips. The first one is from former US commander Ben Hodges.
And he kind of lays it all out.
Unknown: What was the first thought that crossed your mind
when you heard by the way, he's
Adam Curry: like, This is dumb German television. I don't have
to be careful what I say it's not like some podcasters in
America are gonna pick it up today
Unknown: about the wellness deaths. Thought about his
wife. He has a family. And I was reminded that authoritarians are
scared of their own people. That's why they lock up
protesters opponents.
Adam Curry: You mean like January 6,
Unknown: and still the timing is suspicious that the news broke
out.
Adam Curry: Still the timing is suspicious. This is the Deutsche
Avella lady. It's suspicious that this happened during the
Munich Security Conference. Don't you think man
Unknown: suspicious that the news broke today, shortly before
the start of the security conference here in Munich? Is
that Putin sending a message?
Of course, I don't know. The I haven't seen the autopsy yet.
And we don't know all the facts of his death. My assumption was,
of course, this is a result of the poisoning that happened one
or two years ago when he took the Pfizer vaccine, the
treatment, terrible treatment and conditions in which he has
been living. So what contributed to his death? I don't think it
was like, today he was killed. I think today he died from
treatment, or terrible treatment and poisoning. And today is when
it happened. I don't know that it was the timing was planned
that way.
Adam Curry: Wrong answer. Wrong answer. General. Get out of
here. You're no good. Let's go to Bill Browder. No one hates
Putin more than Bill, Bill Browder, who got screwed out of
money screwed out of the country. It gets screwed. And
why is he at the Munich Security Conference?
John C Dvorak: Why is anybody there? This whole thing is a
joke. Right. But I have my own clip.
Adam Curry: Let me play Browder is
Unknown: you're also sending a message to the international
community. You're at the Munich Security Conference, the
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday implied that
it's not an incident that Nirvana's death was announced.
On the first day of the conference. Do you think Putin
is sending a message to the community to? And if so, to what
purpose?
Well, it's not exactly clear what the timing is. But it is
actually very coincidental that all of the major world leaders
are here at the Munich Security Conference right now, at the
moment that ALEXEI NAVALNY was murdered by Putin. And so, one
one, the theory is that after the war started after Putin
invaded Ukraine, the Munich Security Conference didn't allow
Russian officials to come here anymore. And so this is a way
for Putin to effectively troll the entire world, even though
he's not here in person along with his
Adam Curry: I know, I will call everybody I will live in their
head and fee I bet Ken Ham entourage,
Unknown: by killing Alexina balmy Putin is in the head of
every single person at this conference. It is the weekend
and so this is his way of saying you might be able to disinvite
me, but I don't care. I'm still in your head.
Adam Curry: Oh my god. He's so ruthless. Now. Before you play
your clips, I have an observation and one more because
Hillary Clinton was at the Munich Security Conference where
she was. This is weird. They all have these. It looks like a
Sheriff's Badge that they're wearing on their on their
lapels. It's big. It's the size of a Sheriff's Badge. It has a
star in the middle. It has Ukrainian and a US flag on it.
It looks like they've all been deputized. It's the weirdest
thing if you got a close up of it. It's literally like I am a
deputy of sheriff's Alinsky. And of course Christiana Amanpour is
there to talk to her but Hillary on the street
Unknown: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is joining me
and you very quickly tweeted, Madam Secretary, thank you for
being with us. On this day. Your condolences not only to his
family and friends and yourself, but to the people of Russia. You
are sending a message I
was Christiane. You know, I've gotten to know Yvonne A's wife
and daughter. I've gotten to work with a number of the people
who have been around him exposing corruption, putting
together an opposition.
Adam Curry: Let's be honest, she has the record agenda to Putin
and
Unknown: And it was so tragic to hear that he's been killed. And
there's no doubt in my mind. And I know President Biden just made
a statement based on the intelligence available to our
government, that his death is a result of Putin's brutality. And
it is a tragedy for Russia, that someone who was willing to stand
up and speak out and really represent a different future for
Russia should be killed and and you probably have heard
Adam Curry: that, wait a minute, what is it just, I want to hear
out
Unknown: and really represent a different future for Russia
should be killed.
Adam Curry: And now Now she's saying he was killed.
Unknown: And you probably have heard that he was actually on
video yesterday from the prison doing some kind of illegal
appearance. He looked healthy. He was his usual kind of
confident to joke cracking self. In fact, he or she, their wife
and others who saw that video yesterday. Were quite reassured
that he was okay. And then we get this terrible news today.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is all very, very sketchy. I don't even
know if he's actually dead.
John C Dvorak: Then we don't have we don't have to find his
body. We don't have any proof. This is just as of yesterday.
Adam Curry: It's just all hearsay as far as I'm concerned.
It's a dark cloud over the Munich Security Conference. The
hookers prices went down. No one was in the mood.
John C Dvorak: That dark cloud me say went up.
Adam Curry: No one was in the mood. No, no, no, no one was in
the mood. All right, if you've got a couple clips.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I have a bunch of clips actually having
this Munich thing. This but I want to start off with this
screwball one, which is Uma Aberdeen is going to be at the
meet up at the midnight that that was peculiar meetup.
Adam Curry: The meetup. Yeah. Munich
John C Dvorak: meetup. Have
Adam Curry: you? Have you heard who she's dating? Yeah, she's
John C Dvorak: dating. Soros, his kid.
Adam Curry: The Soros kid can't believe. Yeah, I can. She gets
around.
John C Dvorak: She was on Morning mica, of course, talking
about Biden, and they're all going on and on about how great
Biden is that group of men and Jen was there. And I think she
referred to Jen Psaki as Jen, Jen
Adam Curry: at one point and Jen. Oh, man.
John C Dvorak: I know. I wish I couldn't get that clip of me.
Adam Curry: irksome I liked a Munich meetup. Like, oh, that's
what it is. There's a show titled Munich meetup. Yes. Good.
John C Dvorak: Before I play, Uma, I'll play that. We could
play her but let's play this play. Because here's the top
issue. According to NPR at the at the Munich, Munich NPR top
issue. World leaders
Unknown: and defense ministers are gathering in Germany for the
Munich Security Conference, the high profile Summit is a chance
to discuss pressing global security issues. And this year,
the war in Ukraine and the United States relationship to it
are top issues.
John C Dvorak: Okay. Well, in that same report, you listen a
little further. Here's the Munich what is the top issue?
Topic
Unknown: Munich Security Conference, the hostages taken
by Hamas in early October after the attack southern Israel was
the main topic, and it seems fair to get them out of Gaza.
But Qatar is Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman
alfani, appeared cautious about the prospect of a new agreement
between Israel and Hamas, saying while they've made good progress
so far, it appears the talks have stalled between
the two sides. The patent in the last few days are not really
very promising. But as I always repeat, you know, we will always
remain optimistic.
The hostages had been held since early October. Okay,
John C Dvorak: so wait, did the same report the top issues
Ukraine, then the top issue is something else? And then would I
think the top issue is because like you said, Everybody and
their sisters showed up to this drinking club. It must have been
Yeah, I think. I think Klaus Schwab should be taking the East
there too, by the way, of course, of course, but he should
be thinking about
Adam Curry: Nancy Pelosi, he's there. Everybody's there. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: but the top geeks are there to listen to this
Unknown: major tech companies this week signed a pact to
voluntarily adopt reasonable precautions to prevent
artificial intelligence from disrupting democratic elections
around the world. Tech executives from several
companies including Amazon, Google met up Microsoft and tick
tock gathered at the Munich security conference to announce
a new voluntary framework for how they will respond to AI
generated deep fakes that deliberately trick voters. It's
largely symbolic, but it does target increasingly realistic AI
generated images, audio and video that makes candidates say
something they didn't or mislead about how to vote. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's voluntary everybody don't worry. me while
I'm getting me while we are two Golden Retrievers podcasting on
a mountain. So
John C Dvorak: I'm guessing that the reference has still eludes
me obviously. So I'm guessing that everybody this is like was
the end thing to go to this was like
Adam Curry: this is this is the new new Davos, you had to go to
John C Dvorak: this because just now I want you to listen to,
they're talking about Joe Biden's old age and they ask a
question of uma about his old age. And and this is a mica. And
mica is saying, you know, it's great to be old, you got wisdom.
And she did an interview with Jill who says, yeah, he's great
is the best man, I mean, person for the job. She said that
exactly. And it goes on and on. And so she throws us at Uma. And
so in a form of I guess, virtue signaling about this event, you
get to hear the following. So Huma, can it be? Can it be a
positive factor? Well, Mika,
Unknown: as I think you all know, I'm on my way to Munich
for attend a security conference. And the
conversations that, you know, came out after the Davos meeting
a few weeks ago, the conversations people are having
about what is going to happen in our country, is he you know, is
to Gen Z, do you know, echoing again, Jen's point? Is he going
to be our nominee? Could it be Trump, they're making these huge
decisions about their own, you know, their own country's
futures based on what they think is going to happen in our
country. And in part because America, even though we are not
the foremost sort of, you know, have the foremost diplomacy
today, we had maybe a few decades ago, we are still seen
as a leading partner on any global stage. And these are
conversations we're talking about life and death and these
crises and these conflicts, not just in Ukraine and the Middle
East, but really throughout the world. But those two are for at
the forefront of people's minds. And so many of these
relationships are based on trust Hold on.
Adam Curry: Like your relationship with Carlos Danger.
So she was wife of Anthony wiener she was at it may be
still be Hillary Clinton's body man as it's described. And now
she's talking about policy and she's and she's at the Munich
Conference and she's on MSNBC going on and on about but but
the, I mean, these
John C Dvorak: Clintons they, this is unbelievable, or what
yeah,
Adam Curry: they the Clintons have clearly sent their girl uma
side up to the to the sorrows of fortune with Alex, who was
probably he's probably dumb. He's probably unaware that his
life hangs by a thread of
John C Dvorak: hooking up with the Clintons.
Adam Curry: I mean, he does not know what he's getting. I put
him on the list. This is very this is very dangerous. Alex
Soros, this is not a good thing. So that's what he that's what he
wants.
John C Dvorak: Yes, she's fooling around talking about
policy. Now. She was just basically a gopher, she's like,
Hey,
Adam Curry: if you see my spread in vogue, then Hey, baby be my
valentine. So
John C Dvorak: just as an aside, I have another clip of her
talking about this. I've never heard this is the other uma clip
from the from the conference mica morning show.
Adam Curry: I play it or not? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: play it. But I wanted to just set it up a
little bit. It this is something that supposedly explains why
Biden has this, you know, he has an awkward gait of an old
drunkard that is pretty much suffering from dementia. But no,
no, that's not it at all.
Unknown: By then went up and said, You know, I stutter and
and this is my experience in life. And this is what the
President does, too. And I wasn't reminded or I'd
forgotten, and I pay attention. By the way I watch your shows, I
had forgotten that the President had hurt his foot when he was
president elect. And that that's, you know, one of the
reasons why it's you know, he has an issue of sometimes with
that with that foot I completely forgotten and so I think being
transparent is really important. In this day and age, you can be
coy and sort of be a virgin walking into spacing. I don't
know and let's get to the election day.
Adam Curry: You have to Oh, okay, so, two things about this
clip one bull crap, too. She mentions his stutter.
Coincidence in our show is unbelievable. John, I didn't
know you were bringing this clip. Dave Jones has been
helping me we need to restore some old clips from the archive
we moved servers and so clips from like before Episode 500 or
so we're, we're resulting 404 So he is working on this. He says
hey, man, so I've restored these clips. Listen to Biden from 2014
The big stutterer I
Unknown: aspire for one of my grandchildren become wealthy. So
when they put me in a home, I get a window with a view, you
know, I mean, right now. As I, as I pointed out, it was
embarrassing. Bernie Sanders net worth is more than mine. I have
less money than a socialist. I don't know what the hell
happened.
Adam Curry: That's Biden only 10 years ago. That does not in any
way a resemble the man we hear today be No, he has no stutter.
There's no stutter. No, no, I'm just saying this. No stutter.
John C Dvorak: That's a bold crap. This is just 40 he walks
funny because he had an I kinda remember when he had his boot.
Boot.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that just because he had because Trump put
him in an ankle monitor on him. If I recall correctly,
John C Dvorak: I recall and that's the reason he walks
funny. There were
Adam Curry: a whole bunch of people who had boots on a time,
don't you remember? Like that was a thing like, Oh, someone's
got to boot that means they got the ankle monitor. Yes, this was
the thing. I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it. The so we know what
the bricks are? Of course, Brazil, Russia, India, China,
South America. Now Egypt, Saudi Arabia. Everyone's in with the
brake. Everybody's getting in on the act. So Deutsche Avella
thinks oh, you know, I'll ask the Indian government what they
think about Laval D.
Unknown: So David Shudehill is national spokesman for the
governing party in India, the BJP. That's the party, of course
of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Thanks very much for taking time
here at the Munich Security Conference. David Shergill.
Let's talk about first of all the news that has really been
shaking the event here today, the death of Alexei Navalny, the
Russian opposition leader. India has maintained good relations
with Russia for decades and also through the war over the last
couple of years. When something like this happens, what goes
through your mind and what goes through the kind of calculations
in Delhi is this really a country Russia? Do you want to
be doing business with? Russia?
I will retreat or India Stan, Russia was is and will remain
India's strong friend and ally.
Adam Curry: He's our friend our ally. I don't care what you say
Deutsche Avella? Of course not. Of course not. Of course. There
was some actual business going on though. There's some red
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh,
Unknown: here it is. NATO Defence Ministers have put talk
of a rift between the US and Europe are behind them.
Following a two day meeting in Brussels. The Alliance hailed
the increase in defense budgets, which will see European members
an extra $33 billion this year. The Alliance money is continued
backing for Ukraine.
running short on the battlefield. NATO Defence
Ministers stressed more needs to be done to ensure that Ukraine
has the supplies it needs. We
also discussed ramping up production of ammunition to
refill our stocks and continue to support Ukraine wait for it.
We need to shift from the slow pace of peacetime to the high
tempo production demanded by come shift NATO
said it was set up a training center with Ukraine and Poland
to share intelligence on fighting the Russian arm. A
group of member states also wants to send 1 million drones
to Ukraine and other allies want to help clear minds in the war
torn country.
Adam Curry: Yeah, maybe 1 million 1 million drones 1
million drums Yeah, that doesn't sound fun. Now but this is $33
million and 1 million drones. billion billion. I mean, come
on. start shoving in our face will Yeah. We got it. We
understand that throw humor out there. I have Richard angle
report. If you want that.
John C Dvorak: As we haven't heard any. Get the actual CIA
report.
Adam Curry: Book angle from Richard angle NBC.
Unknown: 47 year old ALEXEI NAVALNY was looking healthy,
joking with a judge via video link from his Arctic prison just
two days ago. navall Knees mother saw him Monday and said
he was in good spirits. Yet somehow Alexei Navalny, Russian
President Vladimir Putin's fiercest and most energetic
critic drop dead suddenly there'd
Adam Curry: catch your talking points everybody dropped dead
suddenly
Unknown: at a penal colony in Siberia. Prison officials say
Navalny went for a walk but felt unwell and quickly lost
consciousness. They said medics could not provide them.
President Biden blamed President Putin
Make no mistake. Putin is responsible for Nevada and he's
dead
Adam Curry: make no money.
Unknown: Go supporters laid flowers. Volley. What
John C Dvorak: do you think is maybe? I don't know, maybe it's
just me by being cautious, irresponsible to make these
sorts of claims when you actually have no evidence. Make
Adam Curry: no mistake. You're making a mistake by saying that.
Make no mistake, Putin is responsible. Make
Unknown: no mistake. Putin is responsible for the volunteers
dead
in Moscow supporters laid flowers to get a warning from
the state prosecutor. Sorry,
Adam Curry: yes.
John C Dvorak: What kind of diplomat is this guy?
Adam Curry: He's Joe Biden.
John C Dvorak: We're doing a war with Ukraine that we'd like to
get out of, I think.
Adam Curry: Uh huh. Okay. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So you want to do what you what's called
diplomacy, which is a well known phenomenon that is used by
politicians to get out of things you don't want to continue to
do? Unless you just want to squander the nation's wealth
away.
Adam Curry: Are you being sarcastic no
John C Dvorak: mistake, he wants to squander our money.
Adam Curry: Did you just get off the hayride?
John C Dvorak: Yes, I did. Okay. I gotta hit you up. My ass
Unknown: is responsible for the volunteers dead.
In Moscow supporters laid flowers to honor and Avallone
despite a warning from the state prosecutor that protests would
not be allowed when a woman tried to unfurl a sign that she
was taken away by authorities.
Adam Curry: No, I didn't they have been he has some
background. Might as well do that. It's not that long.
Unknown: Not only started out as an anti corruption blogger, a
blogger exposing on his YouTube show. He started
Adam Curry: out as a blogger. Remember those days of blogs?
John? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: used to be a blogger.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we used to blog divorce, blah, blah, blah,
Unknown: exposing on his YouTube show the lavish lifestyles in
YouTube show joy by Putin. No, I
John C Dvorak: didn't know that.
Adam Curry: That's what he's most known for. This is what's
so crazy is like he was the staunchest opponent, he's a
blogger.
Unknown: Navalny was a central figure in massive protests
against Putin in 2012. He was jailed and harassed and attacked
with a green dye that damaged his right eye. In 2020. While on
a flight in Moscow
suddenly fell ill the net pops,
he was poisoned by a nerve agent and flown to Germany to recover.
He blamed Putin for the assassination attempt. The
Kremlin denied responsibility. And then came the most
consequential decision of his life, not only returned to
Russia, after recovering from his posting, not only
deliberately put his life on the line and his principles First
until his death, which isn't confirmed by his family, but who
don't seem to doubt it.
Adam Curry: And then finally, we have his wife in Munich, at the
potty and of
Unknown: all knees wife, Yulia in Munich called for President
Putin to be punished. Only splitsies we should come
together and fight against this evil she said in 2021, President
Biden warned Putin of devastating consequences if
anything happened to Navalny in Russian custody. Peter pressing
him on that on Friday.
What consequences should he add Russia face that
was three years ago. In the meantime, they faced a hell of a
lot of consequences and we're contemplating what else could be
done. More war talk.
John C Dvorak: So I have a Siri. I just have a little
backgrounder clip I want to play this is the soft Russian Mr. Is
Sora sort of this is sort for, but this from PBS This is a
short, short, short Russian mysterious deaths.
Unknown: I think, you know, there are some incidents
straight out of a spy novel, for example, Sergei skripal. He was
an ex Russian spy who was convicted of working for British
intelligence and he and his daughter were found collapsed on
a bench in the UK after being injected with Nova Chuck.
Another spy who ran afoul of Putin, Alexander Litvinenko died
from a radioactive substance called polonium, and that was
after having tea with two Russian agents in London, Boris
nimsoft and opposition figure. He was shot as well as
investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya, an oil tycoon
named reveal Maga NOF, who called for the end to the
invasion of Ukraine. He fell to his death from a sixth floor
window of a Moscow hospital. And then last year, you've got a
precaution who was the head of the Wagner mercenary group. He
died when the plane he was flying in exploded in midair
after it left Moscow. You know, that was shortly after Prigogine
spearheaded an uprising challenging Putin's handling of
the Ukraine war. And Camilla The list goes on and on. Now I
Adam Curry: counted eight, eight killings against the Clinton
body count. You're just getting started, man. Oh,
John C Dvorak: it's just a baby. We don't have any. Do we know
that? This is not Fs bees doing just from the get go, and then
Putin just gave them to go ahead and maybe they do whatever they
want, they kill these guys left and right. Well listen, why
don't we the CIA does this sort of thing and it doesn't get
blamed on the president necessarily No,
Adam Curry: CIA kills people.
John C Dvorak: I've heard that I could be wrong.
Adam Curry: There's another blogger, we should probably talk
about this
John C Dvorak: does kind of expose the United States in, in
particular in the West in general, to an expanding problem
that most of the rest of the non western world sees, and that's
this double standard, because while we excrete Putin for doing
what he did to not only and I agree that that shouldn't have
been done to him, novelty, by all accounts, is a great guy a
truth teller, and was trying to expose the regime you meet him,
you have the US doing almost the identical thing to Julian
Assange, who is also in a high security prison in the UK,
awaiting extradition to the US. And nobody wants to let him have
a voice to do anything, either. And so the of the rest of the
world sees that now, we'll tell ourselves, oh, well, that's
different because and fill in the blank. But to most of the
world, you see a political figure that the Russians in the
United States don't like, and they're silencing them in jail.
So to them, it's the same thing, which means our comments here on
Russia are gonna fall on deaf ears in a lot of places. Yeah,
there you go. So let's just don't forget did like you said
earlier the January 6 detainees?
Adam Curry: Oh, there was something hilarious. Hold on a
second. So Nancy Pelosi is is there, obviously. And she does
an interview on I think it's called conflict zone, conflict
zone. And so it's it's about Ukraine, obviously, and listen
to her what her head is actually filled with.
Unknown: But there are levers that
Adam Curry: actually I wanted to play these two in, in sequence.
The first one is kind of short. So this is about Israel versus
Hamas.
Unknown: Mr. Biden said Israel's conduct of the war was over the
top. There are a lot of innocent people who are starving. He
said, there are a lot of innocent people who are in
trouble and dying. And it's got to stop. Can Mr. Biden make it
stop?
Well, we have a, and I won't call Mr. Because I've lost so
much respect for him, Netanyahu, there who seems to be you've
lost respect for him a long time ago. But nonetheless, it seems
to be calling the shots and he and his very extreme right wing,
I wouldn't even say that's a legitimate place to be in the
world of thinking on the spectrum. But right wing radical
right wing of cabinet. So I would hope that hearing from a
friend of Israel, as Joe Biden has always been all of us have
been that he would respect the lives of the people who are
innocent. Collateral Damage in this war.
Adam Curry: So here's Nancy, Miss Pelosi, with one of those
sheriff's star badges want to share badges of Ukraine and USA
to
John C Dvorak: get a close up shot of that for the newsletter.
Or at least I like to see it maybe troll room can get me URL
URL and get a shot a good closer.
Adam Curry: So she's like, No, no, he's not a good guy. He's
far right. But she's being very careful with her words. I know
AIPAC may be concerned about what she's saying. So then Mr.
conflict zone, asked her well, but the same question. Matt Lee
asked, but you have levers. You've said you have levers to
pull. You can pull levers, what levers are the levers, but there
Unknown: are levers that Biden could use, which he hasn't used?
There are levers which previous Presidents have used when Israel
has in their view crossed the line? For example, go back to
1956 Eisenhower, refuse sanctions if Israel didn't like
Adam Curry: 1956 I was 40 Back then, dude, I don't remember
that isn't
Unknown: how I refuse sanctions if Israel didn't pull its forces
out of Sinai. breakin, you know, held up delivery of fighter jets
over Israel's actually leveled George Bush Senior block loan
guarantees because of settlement
building yet I was there the day that that I was going back to
56. So
these levers, there's
some But the President has said something about the settlements.
He has said something about the settlements. It's saying
and blocking. Weapons supplies, for instance, are very different
things.
It's not it's a path. It's a path. Look, this is terrible. I
mean, nobody wants to in any way. Minimize what happened on
October 6. This was barbaric.
Adam Curry: It's October 7, Nancy, your head's still in
January 6 More mid
Unknown: October 6, this was barbaric. It was horrible and
consequences hostage taking rape, murder, kidnapping,
attacking young people at a music festival. How bad could it
get? And almost to the point of inviting, inviting a reaction,
because
Adam Curry: she's saying January 6, really October 6. I think
what she's saying there is I was like we were inviting a
reaction. I mean, it's in her head. This woman's in her head.
She's practically admitting to January 6 Being a setup in my
mind, which of course is twisted but it's that Sheriff's Badge
that's blinding me
Unknown: very weird.
John C Dvorak: It's weird badge I wonder with
Adam Curry: no one's been able to find me you see it in all the
videos. It's it's a it's like it lives it looks like a Sheriff's
Badge. I can't say it any other way. It's got a big star in the
middle. It's like a gold or the copper color. Golden goldish and
it has little Ukraine in US flag. I mean, it's like if you
if you sign off on a mage the billion dollar club if you sign
off on a billion for Ukraine, you get a badge. It's like
flair. something screwy about it. It's it's it's very NLP ish.
Speaking of such I would like to do a little presentation unless
you want to do more a Munich.
John C Dvorak: Let me see what I got here. More Munich stuff I've
got
Unknown: I don't think so. No, I know. I'm good. Okay,
Adam Curry: so Tucker Carlson dropped a video with Mike Benz.
And everybody's all GD jacked about it. Have you before
John C Dvorak: you. Before you continue with that? Did you? I'm
just asking, Did you see Tucker in the Russian supermarket?
Well,
Adam Curry: then let me start with that. Because I need to say
something about that as well. Here. Here's the opening clip of
Tucker in the Moscow supermarket show a long
Unknown: standing feature maybe the longest standing feature of
Cold War propaganda in the West was the Soviet grocery store. No
products, no choices, shoddily made things.
Adam Curry: And it wasn't actually propaganda. It was
real. And you know, he's showing video from I don't know what
1956 I mean, this. It's been quite modern for many years in
Moscow. Look at the pictures on the on the GOP. So we thought
it'd be interesting to take a look at a contemporary modern
day 2024 Russian grocery store two years into sanctions. Here
we go.
Unknown: All right. Here we go. So I guess you put in 10 rubles
here,
John C Dvorak: and you get it back. The game pack right there.
Adam Curry: This is what I want to talk about. This particular
Yes. What he's showing
John C Dvorak: is the old put a coin in pull the card out. This
is not it's been
Adam Curry: around flew to Russia. 10 years. Holland has
had it since they had the Gilder
John C Dvorak: they have them all over the south. Yeah, Whole
Foods has him. I haven't seen him around here. But that's
Adam Curry: that was my point. It's like gaming. He needs to
get out more.
John C Dvorak: I agree. 100.
Adam Curry: Good catch. You can't you caught yourself is
saying I agree you're safe
John C Dvorak: that he needs to get out more because that little
coin thing is not new. And I go for I'd say it's been around 25
years minimum. All
Adam Curry: right now. So Tucker does an interview with Mike Benz
Mike. Ben's worked in cybersecurity. I'm not sure
that's the exact title at the State Department. For the past
two years, he has been the executive director of foundation
for Freedom Online. The foundation for Freedom Online is
not a nonprofit. It says he's the only person he's the
executive director his mission through educational reports
legal assistance and Public Policy Analysis concerning
developing threats to digital liberties. We seek to provide
nonpartisan insights and assistance to all peoples taking
a stand for freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the
free exchange of ideas online. And it's a free speech watchdog
dedicated to restoring the promise of a free and open
Internet. There is no donate button does not claim to be a
nonprofit. So I looked all over the website and then I see red
at the bottom at the bottom under the contact page. It says
they are backed by this other outfit called Empower oversight
at Empower e m p o w r dot U S M they are accountability and
Public Integrity through the power of information they defend
with Bill blowers and their leadership their founder is
Jason foster there's all Republican people represented
for different congressional committees and hundreds of
disputes with the executive branch over documents and
witnesses. There's let me see Beth Levine strategic now she
does st and TJ commit Robert hire officer in the US Marine
Corps Special Agent with the US Secret Service and they're
located in Fairfax Virginia. And you know I'm they have now they
are a nonprofit empowerment oversight whistleblowers and
research about a million bucks again, located in Fairfax,
Virginia. So rather spooky even though on their website, they
say someplace in Texas, okay, fine. But I wonder you know
who's funding this outfit? I have. I have this is what I was
wondering if you had a good job at State Department leave State
Department goes on lots of shows. He's been on the pool boy
show. He's been in all kinds of places. And I'm not saying he's
a bad guy. I'm not saying Tucker's a bad guy. But it feels
to me like a massive redirection because here was an hour and
four minute conversation where mainly Mike is talking. And he
and it's um, he's saying the correct things. But it's the
first eight minutes that is important. And then for the next
55 minutes. All he's doing is telling everybody about the
censorship industrial complex. How how social media in America
censoring you censoring you censoring you censoring. And I
believe that to be misdirection we're setting it all out right
now. I don't know whether that's purposeful or not. Tucker is
definitely a useful idiot. In this case. I'm gonna have a
couple of clips and I have some no agenda clips from back in the
day to backup what this really is about, because all of this
started as propaganda. And we've tracked propaganda on the
internet for a long time on the no agenda show all the way
through the repeal of Smith month, which had to happen
because of propaganda not because of D platforming and
shadow banning and putting notes community notes everywhere, but
because of actual propaganda, and I think we're being
misdirected here. So I want to present my case we start off
with
John C Dvorak: Mr. Right for what purpose
Unknown: tonight okay.
Adam Curry: trusted voices is is a concept in in the propaganda
war, and I'm talking trusted voices like Renee de sastra. I
think that's her name, who was on Joe Rogan, who came from me
out the sleeping giants and she was on our Well, Mia. We have to
get get these horrible companies offline, but she's really part
of the of the CIA. Mr. misinformation. She is part of
misinformation. Malone. I've never liked Mullah Malone is he
says, I hang out with CIA people. Then your CIA. Yeah. And
he's the one that kind of got rid of the Matias De Smet theory
of what was it a mass formation and turned it into something
else and directed it towards Hitler, instead of an actual,
the actual phenomenon that this professor studied mass
formation, he turned to mass formation delusion or something,
and then was just like Hitler, and then we're all know. So
there are people who get on podcasts in particular big
podcast, Tucker Carlson, where's his money coming from? Where's
his lawsuit with Fox? Where's that? I mean, you know, as I
have all kinds of questions about these people, and you
know, Brett Weinstein is now being on Tucker. He was back on
Joe Rogan. I mean, these people are everywhere. Brett Weinstein
gets invited to go to the Darien Gap and then comes back and
says, we're being invaded by China. No, I'm sorry. I think
that we're being mis directed by people who are probably well
intending and they just get in from you know how it happens. It
happens to me to microdots I mean, things happen.
John C Dvorak: I mean, hey, you said it.
Adam Curry: I did. Yeah, but I'm saying I'm saying that Q anon.
You know, it's this kind of stuff. And this misdirection
taking place. And this my belief that we're all being told to get
it this This interview was so earth shaking.
John C Dvorak: Okay, I've your I think you're rambling a little
bit. I'm not getting what I want. So let's play what do you
what do you want? What do you want want to know specifically
what the what the OP is? The OP is to focus
Adam Curry: everybody on D platforming and censorship and
not on the messaging, the propaganda that is all out in
the open in front of our faces. That's what that's what I'm
talking about.
John C Dvorak: nobody's talking about free speech on the
internet was an instrument of statecraft almost from the
outset of the privatization of the internet in 1991. We quickly
discovered through the efforts of the Defense Department, the
State Department and our intelligence services, that
people were using the internet to congregate on blogs and
forums, and free speech was championed more than anybody by
the Pentagon, the State Department and our sort of CIA
cut out NGO blob architecture as a way to support dissident
groups around the world in order to help them overthrow
authoritarian governments as they were sort of build.
Essentially, the internet internet free speech allowed
kind of instant regime change operations, to be able to
facilitate the foreign policy establishments, State Department
agenda and the ability to track to use free speech on the
internet as a way to circumvent state control over media over in
places like Central Asia or were all around the world was seen as
a way to be able to do what used to be done out of CIA station
houses, or out of embassies or consulates in a way that that
was totally turbocharged. And all of the Internet free speech
technology was initially created by our national security state
VPN, virtual private networks to hide your your IP address, tour
the dark web to be able to buy and trail sell goods
anonymously. And to end encrypted chats. All these
things were created, initially as DARPA projects, or as joint
CIA NSA projects to be able to help intelligence back groups to
overthrow governments that were causing a problem to the Clinton
administration or the Bush administration, the Obama
administration.
Adam Curry: And I brought some hoops to back that up, because
what up that all of these techniques are initially the
psychological operations of the military, the State Department
were used to overthrow foreign governments who are various
member
John C Dvorak: they've got an internet in a box and all the
other stuff. Hillary's This is Nuland.
Unknown: Our next question comes from our Farsi feed 1220 12 at
USAID or Farsi. Two part question from at m in LV.
Asked state Iran is about to cut off the internet. What's the
status of the suitcase internet?
And what is the US procedure on the new threat to the US Navy? I
assume?
Adam Curry: So yes, they had the the suitcase internet, we were
doing everything we could to overthrow countries by having
techno experts, as Hillary Clinton called them, rooms full
of people who were infiltrating online posting messages against
the regime that that's what it was used for. And that's
John C Dvorak: what Putin was pissed off about. Yes,
Adam Curry: it certainly did. This is Tom Shanker from the New
York Times 2011.
Unknown: It certainly did what what the American military
intelligence can do is forge the watermarks or certification, if
you will, of official al Qaeda postings because they don't want
people going online and pretending to be them. But, you
know, American cyber technology is so advanced that they can
have a near near perfect recreation of an al Qaeda
message. And what they're doing from time to time was going on
to jihadi websites, and posting conflicting and contradictory
orders. Statements that raise doubt about who the jihadi
should follow and who's really in charge. And is this person
still alive? Are they still in control? And the goal is to
really disrupt the entire network by sowing distrust and
dissenting and can confusion, we've been told that they've had
some great successes of that. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I'm playing these clips. Because I think that that
is the thing that we're being directed away from is Who are
these people who are posting messages, sowing dissent, coming
into groups, probably in in in our own group as well? rummaging
around but But Mike Ben's, his whole hour was about the removal
of free speech. That's what Tucker's of Oh, free speech is
all Oh, we don't have free speech. Yeah, that's not what
it's about that, to me. It's a cover up of what is really going
on. This is the second part of Ben's,
John C Dvorak: and this plan worked magically, from about
1991 Until about 2014 When there began to be an about face on
internet freedom and its utility. Now the high watermark
of this sort of internet free speech moment was the Arab
Spring, in 2011 2012 when you had this One by one, all of the
adversary governments of the Obama administration, Egypt,
Tunisia, all began to be toppled in Facebook revolutions and
Twitter revolutions. And you had the State Department working
very closely with the social media companies to be able to
keep social media online. during those periods. There's a famous
phone call from Google's Jared Cohen, to Twitter to not do
their scheduled maintenance. So that distance that the preferred
opposition group and Iran would be able to use Twitter to to win
that election. So it was an insult free speech was an
instrument of statecraft from the national security state. To
begin with all of that architecture, all the NGOs, the
relationships between the tech companies and the national
security state had been long established for freedom. In
2014. After the coup in Ukraine, there was an unexpected counter
coup where Crimea, and the Donbass broke away. And they
broke away with essentially a military backstop that NATO was
highly unprepared for at the time, they had one last Hail
Mary chance, which was the Crimea annexation vote on in
2014. And when the hearts and minds of the people of Crimea
voted to join the Russian Federation, that was the last
straw for the concept of free speech on the internet in the
eyes of NATO.
Adam Curry: And now we go back to Hillary Clinton,
Unknown: we're doing a lot of work to try to come up with
technologies that can circumvent the jamming and the
interruptions and the tracking that the regime are engaged in
right now. We are providing technology, some of which, you
know, is more effective than others, we are certainly
training people, both outside and inside to be able to use
technology to circumvent this is one of my highest priorities.
You know, I've spoken out repeatedly about the right of
people to have access to the internet, it is freedom of
speech and expression and assembly values that we think
every human being is entitled to. But we've also seen the
regime in Iran impose what amounts to an electronic
curtain. It's the 21st century century equivalent of the barbed
wire and the fences and the dogs that the old Soviet Union used
because they come at it from the same mentality, they want
totalitarian control over what you learn and what you say, and
even what you think and how you worship and all the things that
go to the heart of human dignity and human freedom. So yes, we
are doing everything we can now I will quickly add that, that
we're experimenting, you know, sometimes we think something
will work, it turns out not to work, sometimes we get, you
know, maybe a year ahead of the regime's efforts, and then they
catch up. And we have to go back to the drawing boards. But I
want to assure your viewers that we are committed to doing
everything we can to provide as much communication freedom
inside and outside of Iran to people trying to speak out for
their rights as possible.
Adam Curry: So Mike Benzes point that he goes on and on. If you
look, I presuming you haven't seen the hour long interview.
What everyone is responding to is they have backdoors into
Twitter, they can take you off, they can shadow ban you. But
that's the wrong thing to focus on, is
John C Dvorak: they saw it, the fundamental nature of war
changed at that moment. And NATO at that point, declared
something that they first called the jurrasic off doctrine, which
is named after this Russian military general, who they
claimed made a speech that the fundamental nature of war has
changed. You don't need to win military skirmishes to take over
Central and Eastern Europe. All you need to do is control the
media and the social media ecosystem, because that's what
controls elections. And if you simply get the right
administration into power, they control the military. So it's
infinitely cheaper than conducting a military war to
simply conduct an organized political influence operation
over social media than legacy media in industry had been
created that spanned the Pentagon, the British Ministry
of Defence and Brussels into a organized political warfare
outfit, essentially infrastructure that was created,
initially stationed in Germany and in Central and Eastern
Europe, to create psychological buffer zones basically to create
the ability to have the military work with the social media
companies to censor Russian propaganda or to censor domestic
right wing populist groups in Europe who are rising in
political power at the time because of the migrant crisis.
Adam Curry: See, this is where he starts to pivot and this is
what I disagree. What he's what he's focusing everybody on is
the censorship. But what the what the Defense Department was
really doing was stuff like this as we work the data piece, and
it gives us the ability instead of just this from 2017 our own
archives Throwing a message out and hope it lands, we can
actually I call that kind of meat cleaver messaging, as you
throw it out there. And hopefully it hits the right
audience. So we have the ability, and I'll use an example
of something we've started this year. And this is using Facebook
ads, I can go within Facebook, I can, I can go grab an audience,
I can give a hypothetical, I can pick Country X, I need age group
13 to 34. I need people who who've liked, you know, whether
it's Abu Bakr, Al Baghdadi, or any other set, and I can shoot
and hit them directly with messages for in some places in
the world, it's literally pennies a click. So, you know,
that's what they're doing. They're using this in the same
propaganda is as old as the word propaganda. But that's what we
need to focus on is on the propaganda. And then the final
clip, this is Mike bends, who really explains what this is
about, this kind of helps us understand why NATO was all
freaked out about Trump, because without NATO, then the real
owners of the world are in trouble when
John C Dvorak: Brexit happened in 2016. It was it that was that
was this crisis moment where suddenly they didn't have to
worry just about Central Eastern Europe anymore. It was coming
westward, this idea of Russian control over hearts and minds.
And so that was Brexit was June 2016, the very next month at the
war at the Warsaw conference, NATO formally amended its
charter to to expressly commit to hybrid warfare as their as
this new NATO capacity. So they went from, you know, basically
70 years of attacks to this explicit capacity building for
censoring tweets if they were deemed to be Russian proxies.
And again, it's not just Russian propaganda. This was these were
now Brexit groups, or groups like Matteo Salvini, in Italy,
or in Greece, or in Germany, or in Spain with the Vox party. And
now at the time, NATO was publishing white papers, saying
that the biggest threat NATO faces is not actually a military
invasion from Russia, it's losing domestic elections across
Europe, in to all these right wing populist groups who because
they were mostly working class movements, were campaigning on
cheap Russian energy at a time when the US was pressuring this
energy diversification policy. And so they made the argument
after Brexit. Now the entire rules based international order
would collapse unless the military took control over
media, because Brexit would give rise to Brexit in France with
Marine LePen, to specs it in Spain with a Vox party to Italy
exiting in Italy, to Brexit and Germany to Grexit. And Greece,
the EU would come apart, so NATO would be killed without a single
bullet being being fired. And then not only that, now that
NATO is gone. Now, there's no enforcement arm for the
International Monetary Fund The IMF or the World Bank. So now
the financial stakeholders who depend on the battering ram of
the national security state would basically be helpless
against governments around the world.
Adam Curry: So I appreciate that Mike, Ben, settle this. This is
absolutely true. But then, as I said, then it just goes on.
Everyone's talking about how incredible that the censorship
industrial complex is. We need to be careful, especially with
what I call the info Mavericks. What are these people telling
us? What battlefield are they sending us to, to run around?
And I'll be all spun up about this. Oh, that there's some
shadow banned. While you in the meantime, the people who are
right in our face are giving us information, like the
supermarkets in Moscow are so much better. Now, it's like what
what are we going to pay attention to? That's my point.
Okay.
John C Dvorak: I thought that he generalized a bit. His history
of the internet's a bit much. He's claiming everything
happened around 9091, including VPNs, which is decade off. But I
will go listen to that interview as she would I think,
Adam Curry: yeah, now I should have sent it to you. I mean,
they even wondered put it on the no agenda stream after our show.
I'm like, no, no, no, they it doesn't matter. You know, the
powers that be the powers that run the stream. But But that's,
but that's the kind of that's the level of enthusiasm I see
for Mike Benz, who may be a very nice guy and Tucker is probably
a really nice guy. But I just have the feeling that they are
sending us to these battlefields where they want us to be, which
is about free speech, free speech. They're censoring us.
Oh, they're censoring us. Elon is great. Okay. Keep believing
that.
John C Dvorak: So many do hello, Ukraine. stuff all right. I have
a couple of clips here that were kind of like took me aback
Adam Curry: Wait, where's it from?
John C Dvorak: This is This one's from NPR and was from PBS.
Adam Curry: Oh, so Oh, PBS. Excellent but wait a
John C Dvorak: minute I had no we have a jingle that's what I'm
waiting for. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: don't know. Well what happened to my jingle Well,
I'm way off. I
John C Dvorak: don't. Wow. Yeah. Okay.
Adam Curry: I usually play that thing right away. I don't know
what happened is probably
John C Dvorak: could play Amy's right away if you had to.
Adam Curry: Oh, here we go, elitist voices of America. This
is NPR or PBS. I'm sorry. I really screwed that one up. I'll
cut it out. Go let it out. No one will know.
John C Dvorak: So let's go with Ukraine. Waitwhat.
Unknown: Ukraine's president is warning Western allies that
holding up military aid is having an effect on the
battlefield. And here's Joanna kisses reports. Russia secured
its first battlefield win in months after Ukrainian troops
low on ammunition withdrew from a strategic eastern town
President Biden referred to the fall of the town of de WQA. In a
call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Biden said
Ukrainian soldiers had to quote ration ammunition as a result of
congressional inaction.
John C Dvorak: Wait, wait, why?
Adam Curry: It's our fault. This Republic Day I
John C Dvorak: thought England in particular was like the big,
big boy and the EU and Germany where you know, it's our
Congress that cost the city little city, his are overrun by
the Russians. Just us alone. We're doing the whole thing. Is
that what you're telling me? It's
Adam Curry: our fault. Yes. PBS NPR. NPR. Yes, yes.
John C Dvorak: NPR. It's our fault.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yes.
John C Dvorak: You're if you're saying little Jhansi
Adam Curry: Dvorak, you're at fault. That's what you're
supposed to feel is your fault. This
John C Dvorak: is the second half of that clip.
Unknown: Earlier at the Munich Security Conference. Zelinsky
said a delay in aid only helps Russian President Vladimir Putin
who ordered the full scale invasion of Ukraine nearly two
years ago.
John C Dvorak: Do not ask Ukraine when the war will end.
Ask yourself, why is Putin still able to continue it?
Unknown: The Russian occupation? Comes a month before
presidential elections in Russia.
Adam Curry: Give her some credit, man, give us some
credits.
John C Dvorak: What he's saying there. He's insulting us. Yes.
He's saying how come Russia can keep this war going? And you
wimps can't do it. Yes. You're Republicans. That's right.
That's exactly what he's how dumb is the American public to
fall for this to be suckers for this stupid war for up to two
years now. This is billions and billions. And Lee's latest thing
is 95 billion they want.
Adam Curry: I think that if if you were given one of those nice
Sheriff stars, you'd probably be like, oh, yeah, I gotta help you
out.
John C Dvorak: So here's the PVS. Reverse, similar, not as
similar not as bad as that report, but PBS Ukraine in
Munich,
Unknown: Ukrainian forces that withdrawn from the devastated
eastern city of Deepika, handy Russia, a key victory of
Ukrainian soldiers desperately short of ammunition had was
Russian assault for four months. At the Munich Security
Conference, Vice President Kamala Harris met with Ukrainian
president Volodymyr Zelensky Solinsky said he's hoping for a
break in the months long congressional log jam. That's
bottled up US aid for Ukraine Cova Manam,
we are counting on this positive decision of the Congress. For
us. This package is vital. We do not currently look into
alternatives because we're counting on the United States
National as as an our partner strategic partner. When
we talk about the role of America as it relates to our
support for Ukraine. We must be unwavering and we cannot play
political games.
Harris said there is no money pass a $60 billion aid package.
There was only plan a she told reporters. The Senate
overwhelmingly approved the aid bill but House Speaker Mike
Johnson said he won't even bring it up for a vote. Well,
John C Dvorak: that's from Mike Johnson.
Adam Curry: That's interesting. Because I've learned something
else, because these packages are all tied to the border. And you
know, I've looked at the border packages. And it seems like
there's a lot of money going into helping migrants not into
stopping migrants. And yeah, they talk a big game but and
well actually, here's the here's the big game that's being talked
down here. his
Unknown: dirt field along the Rio Grande and Eagle Pass will
soon be perhaps the most visible sign that Texas is wrangling
control of border security from the federal government. Governor
Abbott announced the state is building a forward operating
base for the Texas military department to
Adam Curry: Forward Operating Base this. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: play my clip Texas base camp.
Adam Curry: Forward Operating Base is is a very militaristic
terms. Its
Unknown: Governor Greg wants to build a military base camp at
the southern border base camp will support the state's efforts
to limit the number of people crossing illegally into the US
from Mexico, the 80 acre base camp would hold up to 2300
National Guard troops.
Adam Curry: All right, but here's what's really happening.
I don't have a clip. But someone this morning sent me an article
from Tucson. Tucson we'll see homelessness on steroids as
migrant aid funds dry up. And this is mainly the Catholic
Community Services. Remember, all of the State Department
wait.
John C Dvorak: I used to get I get to try to guess what you're
going to say. But are you going to and I'm just thinking about
this on the fly, suggest that this aid package that's so
important about the border is to brief fill all the NGO monies?
Adam Curry: Yes. And that's why I think if Mike Johnson is
really smart, that's why he's keeping it at bay. Because now
we're seeing the wheels come off of everything. And the first one
that I've gotten here, it even says the Senate's failed
bipartisan border security package, co sponsored by Kirsten
cinema of Arizona would have appropriated 1.4 billion to
support temporary shelters for migrants through the Catholic
Community Services NGO. And by the way, it's the Catholic
bishops. It's the Jewish migrant resettlement, it's all these
faith based. Yeah. Migrant
John C Dvorak: accumulating money. Yes.
Adam Curry: And it's 1000s per, per migrant. So that would
explain why maybe Mike Johnson is trying to keep this at bay to
show that it all comes apart if we don't have that money,
because it's not to stop people from coming in. It's to put them
hide them, put them in shelters, and then I get this from
Chicago, Illinois, one of our producers said he's going to
apply for this operations focal point flight management in
Chicago International Organization for Migration, also
known as the IOM, Amy Pope, former State Department shell
was running that, what exactly will you do in this? What are
the responsibilities for this candidate, which is $5,500 per
month, actually 5508 33 undertake flight management
activities and an assigned area such as leading teams as they
meet and assist flights, meeting and assisting small groups and
individual arrivals organizing transit and ground
transportation, transportation, undertaking air ticket
validation procedures and completing administrative duties
as required, monitor and guide teams of Operation clerks and
operations assistance in completing flight management
activities. This is this is an this is an a job from the United
Nations job. Yeah, International Office Organization for
Migration in Chicago. Why'd
John C Dvorak: it why don't we just throw the United Nations
out of the country? This is this operation is out to get us.
Adam Curry: Yes, that well, no, they're not out to get us. They
are doing this because they know that we need to meet that $7
trillion. Mark that the Oh, the Office of? Was it the OCT No,
the OCB the the accounting office of the government. They
said we had that report. This is Oh, looks like we'll have a
windfall as long as we keep my grace. If Jerome Powell, the
Federal Reserve, Federal Reserve chief say No, it's great.
Immigration is great. It's great. It's what we need. We got
smart ones come and they're Chinese man. We got the smart
ones. They weren't cheap. They're smart, they're
motivated. The coming across the border, the clothes are clean,
their shoes are clean. They taken an Uber. We're being
screwed. And so And here's NPR just to back it up that the
migrant crossings are down because the money is drying up
John C Dvorak: the number of migrants trying to cross the US
Mexico border went down by 50% in January sounds like a pretty
significant drop. Why did that happen? It
Unknown: is a pretty steep dip. I mean for context in December,
authorities encountered over 249,000 migrants crossing the
border unauthorized. That's the highest monthly total ever
recorded. According to preliminary statistics by the
Department of Homeland Security in January they encountered over
124,000 Why is that border crossings are very cyclical in
January is a slow month because of weather. But think about
what's been going on in the US in the last few months. All
these really heated arguments about the need to increase
border enforcement and deportations. I spoke to Adam
Isakson from the Washington office on Latin America about
how that sparked rumors that the US was closing down its border.
Adam Curry: Migrants for this is a lie. By the way, this is the
National Public Radio lie. It's because the money is not being
passed without the money. All these groups can operate. But
okay, let's just say oh, yeah, oh, people are scared because
Oh, things are weird. And Washington, wildly
Unknown: busy. They know that something was going to happen at
the end of December, then you had to get in before the end of
the year. That's the budget end. It's a combination of word of
mouth, and also some messaging from smugglers saying, Go now go
now be my customer now. So
basically, it led to a let's get ahead of this and run in
December, and then a drop in January.
Was there any change in US enforcement on the border that
could have led to it? Well, Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas has said border enforcement agents didn't
have the funding to secure the border in the month of December.
So that's why you saw such high numbers. Congress has failed to
provide additional funding for major changes in border
enforcement and money
Adam Curry: for these organizations.
Unknown: So what we're seeing again, is seasonal dips, rumors
of a border shut down and some more enforcement in Mexico. Also
the Biden administration restarted deportation flights
back to Venezuela and other countries which have sent a
message
Adam Curry: remember that there's a global appeal going on
by Amy Pope for the IOM complex
Unknown: situations are driving higher levels of migration all
over the world. They are delivering new challenges that
test our existing ways of working and require a much more
strategic approach in both the short term and the long term. It
brings us to a critical moment, not just for IOM or our member
states, but for the people that we serve. For those who have
moved for those who are going to move or those who will be on the
move in the future. The world is increasingly relying on IOM, and
our budget has grown but the need for our help has grown even
faster.
Adam Curry: So MC send us money $7.9 billion she needs and then
this okay, well, we don't have them coming in from the border.
So according to The Washington Post WaPo DHS is planning a mass
release of illegals. quintain poor workers. But what to be
cheap to be cheap here. The Washington Post supports the US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has drafted plans to
release 1000s of immigrants and slash its capacity to hold
detainees after the failure of a Senate border bill that would
have you raised $700 million of budget shortfall. They're out of
money. I mean that and meanwhile, we're making our kids
trans we're giving them cereal that is killing them. Making
them not work the sex organs aren't working and when and
they're all afraid of climate change. So this is what you get
we have about nine months until the election people should start
making babies really quick. It's good to have people this
John C Dvorak: brings me to a kind of a propagandist good news
clip which I early no it this was part of I was I had it was a
decision making process as to what clip I was gonna play at
the end. Okay. Okay, but this one has to do with what you were
talking about now and I think it's the time to play it because
it's not that great of a clip anyway. Just the longer of the
two all right. I want to this is the Haitian immigrant This is a
proper I looked at this clip and I said this is a kind of a piece
of propaganda where a woman in Brookline is and among others as
being encouraged to take in immigrants this is like a thing
that's going to be pushed this is my thought on this is going
to be pushed take in an immigrant in this case she could
take in she took in a Haitian family, who now is their
servants be servants. cooks for Oh
Adam Curry: wait, I think I'm gonna get in on this action. I'm
loving I'm liking this look after the dog walk the dog.
Yeah, dog.
John C Dvorak: I think there's an element of slavery involved
here. That's looks like it's good. Humanitarian. Humanitarian
slavery is the only way I can describe it. Here we go.
Unknown: She felt bad as any mother would. Now things are
looking much brighter as they've been welcomed into Lisa Helen.
and brands Brookline apartment to Nina is Moy. Leg re ora
Sullivan, and now Manyana Eileen. She says her daughter is
very happy when she wakes up in the morning she says, Hi, Lisa,
and everyone starts the day smiling.
It's white, and it's really fun having them. What I realized is
there's so much prejudice against refugees, mostly because
people don't know them. Lisa
says she feels like she has her own personal chef as well. Don
de loves cooking. Basilan says Cincy in fact, her goal is to
open up her own restaurant can open any food food store and the
couple has their work permits. And they've been taking English
classes Jul
John C Dvorak: phokeethra, who said well, Nami, dinero pasa
they're open
Unknown: to work anywhere to save money for their future. In
the meantime, they're enjoying their time with Lisa, their new
friend for life, and their daughter's new grandmother.
So what they are hardworking, they want to learn they want to
be successful. And I feel great helping and I get to understand
the refugee crisis from the inside. Lisa
says she's so impressed by the number of people she's met right
here at Brookline townhall meetings who've been stepping up
and hosting families. She's hopeful more will do the same in
the coming days and weeks. in Brookline, Erin Logan, NBC 10
Boston.
All right, the need for more migrant shelters in
Massachusetts is something we've been following really closely.
You can find more information about this and find out how you
can actually help on our website, NBC 10 boston.com. Good
news. Good news. Good news. Good news. Good news. Well,
Adam Curry: I think okay, I think that they should put into
the night, here's how you get the bill passed. Mike Johnson,
you put in there that you will pay me as an American citizen to
take in one of these families to be my servants. Now you've got a
plan. I got some nice. When would
John C Dvorak: you have to? What, what amount of money would
it take for you to do the to do that? Oh, not much. To say it's
a family. husband, wife and two kids? No, no,
Adam Curry: no, no. The kids. I don't want kids. I can only have
husband. Why have any kid no kids, husband and wife. And you
know, she can cook and clean and he can stand guard or garden
with a Oh can garden in San Jose with an AR 15 and garden a
little bit? Yeah, keep the other immigrants away. Walk The Dog,
you know, mark the duck keep the immigrants like this, you know.
So?
John C Dvorak: Again, I asked the question, how much wood
would it take?
Adam Curry: How much? Look? Come
John C Dvorak: on. Give me a number.
Adam Curry: I'll take the 5050 500 a month. That's
reasonable. Yeah, I think is very reasonable. Yeah. And I'll
be helping out society. Yeah. And I'll be learning about the
immigrant crisis from the inside.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, exactly. And you learn a little Spanish
learns. By the way, I thought the Haitians always spoke
French.
Adam Curry: She was speaking French. She wasn't speaking
Spanish. She wasn't a French I've ever heard. It was. It was
a finish. It was kind of in between. But it Haitians, they
didn't make it. They kind of have the same kitchen as
Jamaicans. So they got like jerk chicken and stuff. Yeah, they
probably make terrific food. My bed is great. Now, this would be
fantastic. Well, well, that's, that would solve the crisis now
and now their kids. I mean, they just have to leave me in Haiti.
Can't bring them over here. This is the thinking. I think you're
onto something. There is an element of slavery going on
here. Yes, totally. But again, the bankers, the true owners,
and you know, if you look at the IMF, yeah, there's credits that
each country gives, but it's institutions. And it's big
banks, and it's big money. And they lend out and they lend out
to all these poor countries. And if you don't pay, you know, you
pay back Oh, you gotta pay Oh, you got up austerity. So they
like controlling everything. And they like to have control over
where people live and where the money goes. And so that's why
they're encouraging this, this immigration into America and
into Europe. Otherwise, they know that they you know, there's
no more children being it's just not enough. This is what the
former New York banker told me, We beat China, because our
population is growing is so good, that they're sending their
healthy military aged men to us. Because a few bits is the start.
It's the beginning. That's what's going on. It's nothing
else. It's not like they're going to it's not going to spies
and I take over the country from the inside. No, it's great here.
We just need people who can work who want to work cheap.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and they don't expect $100,000 a year you
right out of high school.
Adam Curry: Exactly. And these people, they don't want to be
influencers. They don't want to be YouTubers an influencer,
these people don't want to do that. That's what's going on.
That is the reality of our world people. And you know what? That
problem is, we get such hardened hearts by what's going on and we
have no compassion. This at least is compassionate. Well,
we're talking
John C Dvorak: about compassion. I have I have a new series of
clips called crap collection.
Adam Curry: Oh, we need a jingle for that. Yeah, somebody
John C Dvorak: should come up with that.
Adam Curry: Okay, Crap. Crap collection. All right.
John C Dvorak: I have two clips for today's collection. Oh,
good. They're just pathetic. I've said this before about Drew
Barrymore. I think she's a phony. Don't like her show.
She's too much you actually watch the show. I catch it once
in a while and I before it by county freeze in time, my jaw
drops and I can't get to the set to turn it off fast enough to
hear this was fun around the internet this clip when
Adam Curry: I Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait and toss to it
properly.
John C Dvorak: I'm doing what I I didn't, weren't? Yeah. She's
with Michelle Obama. Oh, big mind. She's got Michelle's new
book in her hands. And I don't know what the books about it.
This could be an old clip when Michelle first came out with
another book, but I don't know. But this is the kind of thing
that bugs me about Drew Barrymore. She's full of crap
full of herself. She's too much.
Unknown: But when I was reading this book at night, and coming
home from work, which we take with us, so anyone who
compartmentalizes you know, personal and professional, my
hat's off to you, because usually it bleeds all together
for me and I would hold your book to my chest at night. And I
would wish that I was in your family that you were my mom or
my sister and I I feel like everybody feels like that.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's what she does. Remember the Dylan
Mulvaney. And she got it. All very well,
John C Dvorak: you veiny she's on her knees to Dylan. Oh,
Adam Curry: you're so wonderful as a girl. And so the other
John C Dvorak: crap clip I have for today is this one, I think
came up from it. Somebody posted this somewhere. I didn't get it
from the show. Because I don't really watch Stephen Colbert
that much. But this is Stephen. This is an example. This is
beyond Trump derangement syndrome. This is a person who
needs needs serious help. Yeah. Just jumping the gun you want me
to get through these clips? Here we go play.
Unknown: I know. I know how numb we've become. But it's not
normal. No other candidates for the presidency has ever had to
pause this campaign to defend themselves in multiple courts.
And I would like to point out that in all seven of his cases,
no one no one doubts that he did these things are just sitting
around patiently waiting to find out if the wheels of justice
will grind fast enough for there to be any consequences. And the
media is covering it like as any other political story like it's
all horse race. Wow.
Adam Curry: Steven. Steven spun up called bear. Wow. That's not
fun. He's not funny. Well, I
John C Dvorak: lost it.
Adam Curry: I have some crap clips if you're gonna do that. I
mean, yes, I
John C Dvorak: was. I love crap clip. Just
Adam Curry: CNN this morning. S. E. Cupp haven't heard from her
in a while. This is a
Unknown: really amazing trick that Donald Trump managed to
pull off. First, he managed to get conservatives to stop caring
about conservatism. Then he got Christians to stop caring about
like Scripture, the Bible, what would Jesus do now? Jesus is
Whoa,
Adam Curry: whoa, hold on a second. I missed the memo. Jesus
is woke. Alright, so you
Unknown: got Republicans and Americans to stop caring about
America and what democracy should mean she talking Trump
since he got, you know, the patriotic, you know, military
loving, far right to stop caring about national security and
caring about our servicemen and women, our troops. I mean, it's
it's a feat. What Donald Trump has done to the right in this
country in a very short period of time.
Adam Curry: Is is amazing.
John C Dvorak: What is she talking about? A
Adam Curry: feat a feat? I think she's talking about this clip
from NBC about feet.
Unknown: Donald Trump out of the courthouse and back on the road
tonight. Big crowd appearing at sneaker con in Philadelphia.
We're going to remember the young people and we're going to
remember sneaker con, your stick Go ahead. Less
than 24 hours after a New York judge ordered Trump and his
company to pay more than $350 million in damages for years of
fraudulent business practices and lying about the value of his
properties. The former president took today to promote a money
making deal, having struck a naming rights agreement for a
limited edition sneaker line, the most expensive pair in the
series selling for $399 That's the real deal.
That's the real deal.
Adam Curry: There's never a report about Air Jordans.
Costing five $600 Ba No Trump he's at sneaker con. No less.
This guy knows how to market sneaker con. We need sneakers no
agenda shop we need sneakers. No agenda sneakers? Yeah, we should
have sneakers. One of the kids love it. They buy him they trade
him was great. No agenda sneakers? I don't think
John C Dvorak: yes, yeah. They have a new value. We're gonna
finish your thought and I have there's a cure for some cancer.
Adam Curry: So I was not ready to go to cancer. I was I was
going to stay with Trump for a moment.
John C Dvorak: Well, I have the three by three if you want to do
Trump's the you have stupid York case. Oh,
Adam Curry: you got funny Willis.
John C Dvorak: No, no, this is the New York case where he got
fined $350 million. Well let me he's broke let me get a few
final guys breeze broke. So let's find the three to 50 me
let me do the
Adam Curry: funny Willis first because that's funny. That's
just fun. And I don't have any
John C Dvorak: funny by way when it become funny. Where's the W?
Adam Curry: Because Fannie doesn't sound right and it sound
does and the BBC can't say Fannie Yeah, it's
John C Dvorak: a comment I can make right there. That would be
quite offensive.
Adam Curry: We know that an in Britain Fanny is is not a word.
You could say on the on the radio buttocks? No, not no. In
England Fanny is Valjean. Is that right? Yes, the vagina is
Fanny in in England. I know. Those guys are very confused.
Just so you know. You got it wrong Brits. It's the wrong side
just saying. So this is Anderson three Cooper with Tom Foreman.
Unknown: A stunning and fiery day in court. County District
Attorney Fani Willis took the stand to defend herself and her
case
to confuse you think I'm on trial. These people are on trial
for trying to steal an election in 2020. In
one explosive exchange after another, she explained her
romantic relationship with the prosecutor she hired to lead the
election fraud case. And she tore into the legal team around
former President Trump and his allies
is highly offensive when someone lies on you. And it's highly
offensive when they implicate that you slept with somebody the
first day you met with him and I take exception to
at issue in the hearing were two key questions. First, when did
her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade
begin?
Let's be clear. 2022 was the start of any intimate, sexual
relationship with a district attorney.
While Wade testified that the Romans started when the
investigation of Trump and his co defendants was well underway.
A one time mutual friend Robin URI insisted it started way back
in 2019.
Adam Curry: Did you observe them do things that are
Unknown: common among people having a romantic
relationship? Yes, such as Can you give us an example?
Hugging kissing this objection, Will is his take at that time
she and Wade were friends nothing more. And as for that
contrary testimony,
I had not spoken to Robin in over a year. I certainly do not
consider her a friend now.
Adam Curry: Now I want to remind now, I want to remind everybody
that Mo said mo thermofax. He said, This is happening with
black women across the board. They put them in it was Dei, you
get the position now you gotta prove it. And otherwise you're
all out. You're all going to be taken down and this is the
destruction of a black woman in public. Because Trump can't be
taken down. She is going to be the fall guy for this. It'll be
her fault. And everyone just say, Oh, the black lady did that
is most position and I think he's right. What and I have
another clip. When I'm surprised by the I think it's in this clip
He keeps talking about Team Trump. Is it Trump's lawyers who
are isn't this isn't this a a case about a marriage isn't this
a divorce proceeding.
John C Dvorak: There's two proceedings going on this
particular proceeding and it's not Trump was one of the CO
defendants that brought this forward. And then did did the
other case, which is the divorce case, brought out the documents
that were necessary to write this. Yeah. So there's a
combination of things going on here and Trump's really not the
one involved but the way she sees everything's Trump's,
Unknown: but it's also the way Anderson 360 with Tom Foreman
sees it. The second key question, did the district
attorney financially benefit by choosing her romantic partner to
lead the election fraud case? Team Trump came in saying
weighed us money from that appointment to take Willis on
trips to California or Aruba, Belize, the Bahamas and more.
But hold on, Wade said Willis paid him back in cash for all
that travel alleges
that our travel was split roughly evenly a line
he held even as Team Trump drilled in
I'm sure you probably have the deposit slips, where you took
the cash and deposited the cash in your account.
You did not deposit the cash in America, you don't have
a single solitary deposit slip to corroborate or support any of
your allegations that you were paid by Mrs. Willis in cash.
Do you know Sir, not a single solitary one no matter what. And
Willis was right there with him dismissing the claims of
financial shenanigans. I mean,
I paid for the hotel, I paid for the flights. I had a birthday
luncheon for him. I paid for massages, I paid for everything.
And as for always repaying and many of my house, you have money
in your house, so I was there. When you meet my father, he was
known to you as a woman. You should always have, which I
don't have so let's don't tell him that. You should have at
least six months in cash at your house at all times.
She also batted down questions about sensitive personal matters
to characterization
emasculate a black man, but I'm just telling you, I'm sorry,
what? I'm not going to eat mask you late. A black man. Did you
understand that?
And slapped away so much of what team? Trump said. No, no, no,
no,
this is true.
Adam Curry: It is a lie. Man, she's talking about oh,
sometimes I have $9,000 in cash.
Unknown: Yes. She sounds like a drug dealer.
Adam Curry: And it's fungible. I had it from my campaign.
John C Dvorak: She's She, as you remember, you played a clip?
Just a short out of the blue clip where she said she skimmed
money from her campaign. Yeah. And did none of the media has
picked this up or said anything about it. This is a violation.
You can do your campaign. Money is not something you can just
pocket.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's it's sad because this is this is the
this is the end of the road for Dei. This is how it ends. You
gotta Yes, optimist.
John C Dvorak: You and me both know
Adam Curry: what I'm, it's, it's sad for these high profile, high
profile black women. And we'll see more of this. Then they're
the same people whose Oh, no. Oh, yes. We gotta have a black
woman on the Supreme Court got a black woman here black woman, a
black, black black woman, black woman. Now it's like the black
lady did it. That's what's happening here. But she
John C Dvorak: brought it on herself. And you saw it with
some sympathy for her
Adam Curry: Sunday. Halston the same way who gets taken down? To
Yes, this is my point. He's,
John C Dvorak: she was deluded.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Wow. But this is what's happening. I'm just
saying that Sonny
John C Dvorak: Hoskins is going nowhere. She tells a big you
know, a good salary working at the view. Yeah, I think that
that will pick and now lord it over her. That's right.
Adam Curry: That's right. We're watching the old cheers episode.
I keep looking at Ted Danson thinking really, man. Remember,
remember he did he didn't married you? They were dating?
John C Dvorak: No, no, it did. They broke up right after he
came into the party with blackface. That's right.
Adam Curry: Forgot about that.
John C Dvorak: Genius, genius. But that's one way to break up
with with Whoopi.
Adam Curry: So we can do I have a quick three parter on from NPR
which is very NPR ish about the tech companies in AI. And then
we then we could do three by three or three by three first,
whatever you want.
John C Dvorak: Three by we don't even does three by three is a
minor? A minor one except that. I'm always amused by the fact
that nobody wants to none of the mainstream media wants to
discuss the fact that most of this case in New York is fraud
case. It didn't defraud anybody. Nobody brought the case forward.
That's great. And the biggest element of it was the what they
consider a mis statement of the value of Mara Lago
Adam Curry: which is in Florida, which is in Florida,
John C Dvorak: which is got nothing to do with anything but
it has to do with his business doing dealings in New York. And
he says Mar a Lago, which is a monstrous facility in Palm Beach
is worth one point something billion, and the judge refuses
to accept that because it's really high. It's worth 18
million which is like as a house in San Francisco. And so I'm
thinking this three by three would be interesting to see if
we can spot somebody actually bringing that up. All right, was
done.
Adam Curry: Everybody was better I meant by a long running
experiment comparing stories from the scenes up.
Unknown: The never ending
Adam Curry: after three big networks plus, is there a plus?
Yes, yes, you have a plus you've got Turkish radio and television
plussing today, looks like your T TR T All right, let's listen
to the NAT pops the human pops. Let's see how it goes. As we
compare the big machine of News, ABC
Unknown: tonight's rolling strikes at the heart of Donald
Trump's image carefully crafted for decades, the former
president fined a staggering $355 million and banned from
doing business for three years in New York, the city where he
built his fortune and made his name the judge determining Trump
flagrantly overvalued his signature properties in order to
get favorable bank loans and insurance rates, things everyday
Americans would never get away with.
They have authored the art of the deal. But he perfected the
art of the steal. Oh,
Adam Curry: whoa, I hope everyone had that, quote.
Unknown: The court once again, ruled in our favor, and in favor
of every hardworking American who plays by the rules. The
most high profile examples of fraud the Trump Tower penthouse
the Trump Organization inflated its value by some $200 million
to clearing it was 30,000 square feet. But Trump signed a
document certifying it's a third that size 11,000 square feet.
And while Trump claimed his Mar a Lago resort was worth up to
$600 million. It's true assessed value was no more than 27
million. Today judge Arthur and Gore in writing Trump's complete
lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological calling
Trump incapable of admitting the error of his ways. The former
President attended 10 days of the trial. Trial is ridiculous.
And on the witness stand he attacked judge and gore into his
face complaining This is a very unfair trial. I hope the public
is watching. It is ruling today the judge knocked Trump's
testimony for long irrelevant speeches, adding his refusal to
answer the questions directly or in some cases at all severely
compromised his credibility. Moments ago Trump lashing out
a sad day for lashing out in the country. A crooked New York
state judge just ruled that I have to pay a fine of $355
million for having built the perfect company. Great cash,
great buildings great everything
Adam Curry: question when so this of course goes to appeal
which is just because cost more money. Does he have to pay the
fine right away? Okay, does it wait until?
John C Dvorak: Of course not. All
Adam Curry: right. All right. So
John C Dvorak: it's just stalled.
Adam Curry: So this is another black woman who was pushed to
the forefront. This Leticia Leticia James, she's she's going
to take the fall for this too. You can see it coming down Main
Street
John C Dvorak: where she is very cocky. So let's go to NBC.
Unknown: Tonight a crushing blow to the Trump family's real
estate empire. A judge in New York handing down a more than
$350 million civil penalty against Donald Trump plus
interest for lying about his wealth for financial gain
barring him from obtaining loans in the state for three years
banning Mr. Trump's adult sons from running any company for two
years ordering they pay more than $4 million
each. Today justice has been served. Today we prove that no
one is above the law. Yeah.
The former president tonight assailing the
Adam Curry: decision was above the law. The Chinese were coming
in over the border. They're above the law that was above the
law,
Unknown: and slamming the suit brought by New York's democratic
Attorney General.
These are radical left Democrats. They're lunatics. And
it's election interference. If I weren't running, none of this
stuff would have ever happened
with no jury at trial, the ruling left solely in the hands
of Judge Arthur and Goren who decided the heart of the state's
fraud case months ago, finding the Trump family wrongly
exaggerated the value of some of its most iconic properties on
financial statements to receive better deals. On bank loans.
This trial was to sort out the penalty. Mr. Trump and his adult
children all took the witness stand in the hopes of Fending
off a decision with massive consequences for their real
estate portfolio and family legacy.
I became president because of the brand, Mr.
Trump's defense team arguing there was no victim. The banks
were repaid and testified they did not rely on Mr. Trump's
valuations. The former president's attorneys had
implored the judge not to impose a fine, akin to the corporate
death penalty. But today the judge writing quote, Donald
Trump is not Bernie Madoff, yet defendants are incapable of
admitting the error of their ways. Instead, they adopt a See
no evil, hear no evil speak no evil posture, that the evidence
belies I thought that they they literally
Adam Curry: compared them to Bernie. Bernie Madoff in a
different stage. I thought I heard that.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember that either. Yeah, I thought it
was. Well, if you can find it
Adam Curry: made off. Yeah, no, listen, listen to this. Ma.
Listen to this. Hold on a sec. I
Unknown: was sitting in court, and we were just leaving.
Everything was wrapping up. MSNBC, worrying right at the
end, the Attorney General had wrapped up their arguments and
judge and Goren had one question. And he looked at the
lawyer for the Attorney General and he says, How does this case
compare to Bernie made off? Ah, wow. And I went, Wow,
he literally he literally did that.
John C Dvorak: pretty poor reporting.
Adam Curry: What, from an NBC product. I'm surprised these
clips are too long. These are all almost two minutes.
John C Dvorak: I mean, yes. Well, I am going to rebuke the
Jones The Jones Jones boys for two clips that are too long,
especially for
Adam Curry: a three by three. It's just too long and there is
CBS the best one your
John C Dvorak: heart to cut down a Yeah, yeah, but let's listen
to the last two and then we'll be done.
Unknown: Thank you very much tonight
potentially crushing blow to Donald Trump's business empire
and bank account. The former president ordered to pay more
than $350 million and banned from running a business in New
York or applying for loans in the state for three years. His
two sons each fined $4 million and barred from doing business
in New York for two years. thrusting the leadership of the
family company into Peril being prohibited from doing business
in your home state or the state where you have so many
properties and so many business activities is an absolutely
devastating sanction. Trump lawyer Alina haba, called the
verdict a manifest injustice and said an appeal battle is coming.
The former president reacted late today
it's a very sad day for in my opinion, the country a meanings.
Adam Curry: Okay. I don't know why. Or I guess is this the only
statement he made because he made a statement in a hallway
The acoustics are bad. It's just not good. It's not good. He
needs to do better making on the statements.
Unknown: York state judge just ruled and he's crooked as you
can get. A lot of people expected something like this,
but not for the amount
in his ruling judge.
John C Dvorak: It less that was edited. Trump's comment the way
he said it was the judge ruled that he was as crooked Kim get
Adam Curry: very funny. Oh, that's interesting. The former
Unknown: president reacted late today.
It's a very sad day for in my opinion, the country. A New York
state judge just ruled and he's crooked as you can get. A lot of
people expected something like this, but not for the amount
of us truly judge Arthur and gore instead of Trump and the
other defendants their complete lack of remorse, borders on
pathological.
Adam Curry: This whole thing is very unfair. That's really
psychological. This CBS report and now they're pulling
something from like the Barbara Walters interview. This
Unknown: is good on Trump himself who took the stand two
times. The judge said his refusal to answer the questions
directly, or in some cases at all severely compromised his
credibility. Judge and Gordon had already ruled that Trump and
his sons and company executives committed years of business
fraud fraudulently inflating their assets to boost the former
president's net worth, including his Trump Tower penthouse in Mar
a Lago exaggerating its value by as much as 20 300%. Today's
penalty caps a three month trial in a lawsuit brought by New York
Attorney General Letitia James,
the scale and the scope of Donald Trump's fraud is
staggering. And so to his his ego and his belief that the
rules do not apply To him
Adam Curry: she'd been watching billions too much she thinks
she's Chuck. Chuck now from from billions. Attorney General.
John C Dvorak: Well, you did catch her the weakness of all
these reports, which is the only ABC use that quote where she
says his art of the deal is the art of the steel. Yeah. Which
which was a good, good catch, but none of the other networks
played it. So let's play the Turkish internationals. This
shows you that the international media just as bad as
Adam Curry: on board with him.
Unknown: He's a leading presidential candidate for the
Republican Party. But Donald Trump's campaigning schedule has
taken a backseat to courtroom appearances
Adam Curry: as was intended and legal
Unknown: challenges.
He claims the cases are politically motivated. These are
corrupt people. And they're using this as weaponization
against a political opponent who's
up a lot in the polls, and always will be. On Friday, a New
York judge ordered Donald Trump pay $355 million in penalties
for defrauding lenders for more than a decade.
Adam Curry: I don't think I heard a single one of the three
OG three by threes mentioning that this will be up for appeal
that anyone even mentioned that.
John C Dvorak: Not in these, but I've heard it I know. But that's
the whole point is Jay, you'd think he would mention instead
of conclude that he's out 350 million Exactly.
Unknown: The former president has also been banned from doing
business in New York for three years. His sons and CO
defendants were also hit with fines and two year bans on doing
business in the state. But the judge stopped short of canceling
Trump's business licenses, which some say could have ended his
business empire Empire massive penalty is the result of a civil
lawsuit brought by New York's Attorney General
justice has been served. Today we prove that no one is above
the law. No matter how rich, powerful or politically
connected you are every one must play by the same
rules. Prosecutors
say he lied about the value of his assets like a Trump Tower
apartment reported at nearly three times its actual size.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
He's a radical left Democrats. They're lunatics. And it's
election interfering. So I just want to thank you for being
here. Will appeal will be successful. Oh, there it is. The
civil fraud case could deal a major blow to Trump's real
estate empire.
He comes after he was ordered to pay just over $83 million. In a
separate defamation case.
Adam Curry: It's just filling time at this point. That's all
they're doing. Just filling time there. I've got some Trump news.
Yeah, all it does is just put Trump on the front. He's
everyone wants him to be president. Everybody wants him
in there. Except NATO. But even NATO like okay, okay, we'll pay
the 2%. Just let us do.
John C Dvorak: I think this is something that nobody else has
caught. I'll give you this one. Which is the idea that he makes
a big fuss at NATO to make sure everybody catches up with their
dues now pay their fair share for you guys. It's just more
money.
Adam Curry: And, you know, obviously, that's more money for
us, and I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna let you the Russians attack if you don't
pay.
Adam Curry: That's so insane. And you know, and let's all run
around and post about it. A man is crazy. Who is crazy. I have
quick three quick clips before we take a break. By the way,
this is a value for value program. So we'll be taking a
break where we thank people who've supported us with value
for the value we believe we provide. And we're certainly
been doing it for a couple of years and people do provide
value back so there's something in the formula that's working,
which is go out and hit people in the mouth. NPR reported in
the only way NPR can especially when it comes to Tech Tech. They
bring in a whole new level of of talkers on NPR. And this is the
the agreement that detect not technology companies who are all
in Munich have agreed to well, we'll take action against a
deceptive AI meanwhile, buy our AI $20 A month get our ai ai
Yeah,
Unknown: more than 40 countries are set to hold major elections
this year. And many experts worry that rapidly evolving
artificial intelligence technologies could disrupt those
votes just a few weeks ago and apparent deep fake robo call
that sounded like President Joe Biden told people not to vote
New Hampshire. Today. 20 major tech companies announced they
are going to do their part to avoid becoming the story.
Joining us now to talk through this new agreement our NPR
Shannon bond who covers how information travels and Miles
parks who covers Wait Wait,
Adam Curry: wait, she covers how information travels.
John C Dvorak: She covers Yes, your eat her
Adam Curry: beat is how information travels. Isn't that
great? I want that beat Dory that's
John C Dvorak: a good beat. That's a great beat.
Unknown: Joining us now to talk through this new agreement. Our
NPR Shannon bond who covers how information travels.
Adam Curry: You have to say it right though how information
travels in miles parks who
Unknown: covers voting Hello, y'all. Hello, y'all.
Adam Curry: Hey, how you doing? Hey, John. Hey, hi, hey, hi, ho.
Unknown: Hi there. I wanna Hello, Kevin, I want to start
with you tell us about this agreement, what's in it? What's
in it? Well, it's aimed at AI generated images, audio and
video that could deceive voters. So whether that's by
impersonating a candidate doing or saying something they didn't,
or misleading people about, you know, when or how to vote. And
the companies are agreeing to some pretty broad commitments
here to develop technology to watermark AI content and to
detect and label all kinds of ways. They're pledging to be
more transparent about how their tools and platforms are being
used. They want to educate the public about AI. Many of these
actions are things some of these companies are already working
on. And what's notable here. One is that this agreement does not
outright ban this kind of deceptive use of AI in
elections. No comedy
Adam Curry: is saved. It does not outright ban it. No, in
fact, this is just voluntary.
Unknown: Right. Okay. Let's dig in a little bit here. Does this
agreement
Adam Curry: actually John list? Can we dig in here a little bit?
John C Dvorak: I'm looking forward to it. Let's
Unknown: dig in here a little bit.
Right. Okay. Let's
dig in a little bit here, because this agreement actually
bind these companies to do anything, or is this more of
like a mission statement? Yeah, this is a voluntary agreement.
So it's not binding. And remember, just because companies
create policies about AI, doesn't mean they always
effectively enforce them. Now, this agreement came together in
just the past six weeks, and in many ways, you know, it seems
like it had to be pretty broad to get this many companies to
agree. We spoke with Microsoft President Brad Smith today. He
didn't
Adam Curry: Brad What didn't he run the Xbox division? Brad
Smith? Was he the game I
John C Dvorak: forgot his history. He
Adam Curry: was. He's been he's been there for a while. Let's
talk to the billionaire at Microsoft spoke with Microsoft
Unknown: President Brad Smith today. He said that unity itself
is an accomplishment. We
all want to need to innovate. We want to need to compete with
each other. But it's also just indispensable, that we
acknowledge and address the problems that are very real,
including to democracy.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's a problem for democracy. Oh, Bret, save us
Unknown: indeed. And even as these companies including
Microsoft are saying you know, they're on guard over risks of
AI. They're also continuing to roll out even more advanced
technology like just yesterday open AI one of the other
companies that signed this agreement, they announced this
tool that allows you to type in a simple text description to
create a really realistic high definition video
Adam Curry: of us as Golden Retrievers podcasting on a snowy
mountain but
John C Dvorak: a somebody sent me a link to this it's Oh keep
referring to
Adam Curry: I'm shoving into your face I can't believe you
haven't seen this. The final clip justifies me once more,
walk us
Unknown: through a few cans I got some of those scenarios.
Yeah, I asked Smith from Microsoft
about this and he said specifically, he's worried about
people using AI to dub over real videos with fake audio that
could be a lot more convincing to people than creating a whole
new video but there's also a bigger picture worry that I
heard percolating at this conference last week that as
more fake stuff is swirling online the public will slowly
lose trust in all information. That's the hardest aspects of
this record. The tech companies say they want the public to be
more skeptical of what they see online but that can lead to this
feeling among people that nothing is true or real and bad
Adam Curry: accurate no agenda Listen now and stop talking over
it you just don't want to hear how right I am once again is
Unknown: true or real and bad actors can capitalize on that
too. But then being able to claim that real information is
fake it's called the liars dividend there was more AI
generated stuff floating around it's just gonna become more and
more common that candidates when real bad information comes out
at about them they can just say no that's
John C Dvorak: baloney laughs because what was the last what
was the left tell for because
Adam Curry: he's it's too big what he's laughing about is hey,
if I if I laugh now John will talk over the punch line
John C Dvorak: no more he's laugh for some reason it will
Adam Curry: listen the maybe you'll find out both
Unknown: the liars dividend with more AI generated stuff floating
around it's just gonna become more and more common that
candidates when reveal bad information comes out at about
them. They can just say no, that's that's fake. That's AI
generated because that's
Adam Curry: exactly what we've been saying. That's exactly
what's gonna happen. That's why he's laughing about it. Oh,
yeah. When when bad stuff comes out. Just say it's AI. They all
know it. They're all in on it and the tech companies just
agreed to it. That's okay.
John C Dvorak: That's gonna stop us deconstructing the Real News?
Yeah, that's correct.
Adam Curry: If you want your deconstruction you're at the
right place. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
courage say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in
korma quat. Ladies, gentlemen, say hello to My friend on the
other end the one and only Mr. Jobs
John C Dvorak: really you Mr. and Karina, more chips you both
have graphene here so there's no word doomsday sat there
Adam Curry: in the morning to the trolls in the troll room let
me count oh well, we have one more than last Sunday, last
Sunday 2045 Today 2046 Trolls listening in live,
John C Dvorak: run a roll,
Adam Curry: which we call that an uptick in the biz actually is
an uptick. Those trolls are listening at troll room.io Or
maybe they're using a modern podcast app it happens because
they're cool podcast apps.com get all kinds of benefits
including being alerted when we go live which is what a lot of
these trolls are doing and when we post the show 90 seconds from
posting the show you got an alert no waiting for an hour and
we got Dred Scott during the chapters and we have transcripts
you can search through it and and that also flows through to
being a data we got to know new bing.io coming out very soon.
Now with AI it's going to be dynamite you can search
everything this is all part of the value for value we give you
on the show then and as you can tell I'm not doing AI notes or D
nonnamous is doing it that's he's providing value back to the
show. We have sir bemrose running the stream 24/7
providing value back to the show. We got void zero mark he's
running just upgraded our servers to nix we're on Nick's
now. John Nick's low net we're on Nick we're on next baby.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: now that you Nix that Oh no,
Adam Curry: you're the one that approved it.
John C Dvorak: I guess they did you
Adam Curry: you didn't read the memo. You
John C Dvorak: know why? Because actually it saves money.
Adam Curry: I know. I know. And that's I love mark for that is
that kind of stuff. Yeah, we also have other types of value
that we get back from well in this case are artists. Artists
are busy working away during every single show to create the
perfect piece of podcast art that we can use which will just
blow everybody's socks off. They love the new art you know it
looks great on on the website it looks great and social meat
looks great in the podcast apps and we probably want to we are
one of the few that have few podcasts anywhere that have new
art for every single episode and so we want to thank the butthole
Academy for for the artwork for episode 63 for the artists title
is is the butthole Academy I can't help it episode 1634 We
titled that one nukes in space because let's face it that's
what everybody wanted it to be I mean nukes and space that's
where we all had to had to hear about ad nauseam and let's see
what else was available at now. I like the blue balloons by
pickle surprise. We're trying to do something that so just to go
back and tell everybody this artwork by the butthole Academy
we really liked we didn't want it we would have used it if if
the last show was closer to Valentine's Day. Since this one
was right after Valentine's Day it couldn't really find anything
that we liked as much this podcast Hearts was just a great
piece of work. Especially the little slogans on the hearts
yeah promo code bond Gino like subscribe nice vocal fry love
your pod eBay dog food I mean it was great it was just a
John C Dvorak: so in other words we we literally rejected all the
submitted art every show we did we did which has happened before
it happens about when I probably were not proud of four times a
year
Adam Curry: it happens yeah and now I did and now it's
John C Dvorak: not as bad as when we have to literally go
into the archive the Evergreen is scrounge around
Adam Curry: now that's that's really bad when that happens we
I liked I liked the blue balloons from pickles surprise
yes
John C Dvorak: I did not like that at all
Adam Curry: no no I know it asked me why why did you not
like
John C Dvorak: it? It was bland.
Adam Curry: You go it was bland there were some other nice what
you liked was the and you use that for the newsletter The no
agenda 333 Space way which I Crossroads one yeah I just like
I couldn't get behind it you know
John C Dvorak: he could get you don't need to just look at it in
from the front.
Adam Curry: And the way this show works is there's a veto you
know John approved the Nick servers I didn't veto it
happens. John wanted to space way the Crossroads I vetoed. It
didn't happen. I want the balloons John didn't like it
didn't happen
John C Dvorak: fat you said. You said oh here's how I like this.
This one your you said no way Jose, which I thought was
somewhat offense, your
Adam Curry: belts racist but you nailed the voice I was spot on.
I'm so impressed. Thank you very much butthole Academy for your
for your value that you provided back to the show. It's one
John C Dvorak: more piece of art because you did mention this.
Okay, the no agenda. There was a kind of a nice idea for a piece,
which was the no agenda credit card from Darren O'Neal. Yeah,
but great comment was, it doesn't even look like a credit
card. It does. Yes. For you, Darren. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, it didn't, didn't it's No,
John C Dvorak: I agree.
Adam Curry: It was messy. Thanks. You're absolutely right.
So there you go. No veto. No Nicks. That's it. That's our
time and talent of the time, talent and treasure for the
value for value. No agenda donations.com gives you an idea
of how you can support the show financially, which we obviously
