Adam Curry: This Year Award Winning Combination Mina
assassination episode 1638. This is no agenda, enjoying a free
extra day, 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: in from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all
enjoying Leap Day. I'm Jonathan Devorah.
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. I believe this is the first I think this
is the first time we've ever had a show on Leap Day.
John C Dvorak: It's possible the only happen once every four
years. It didn't have to be a coincidence that one day of the
week, Thursday, or Sunday has to fall on that day. So I someone
out there could do the calculation on this statistical
probability. Yeah, probably. It could be
Adam Curry: as far as I can remember this the first time
ever, but it's very enjoyable. Now as feels like it. So how
many shows that we had in this in this month? Let me check. We
have 12345678. This will be the ninth show this month. I mean,
that's value for value right there. Oh, we're Yeah,
John C Dvorak: we're giving people their money's worth. I
think so. Especially considering the money. Yeah,
Adam Curry: reminder, we are a value for value program, which
means you can support us with your time, talent and treasure
no agenda donations.com. But first, let's, I mean, there's
something we weren't realizing. Well, actually, we know. War is
good for business. This we know. We know. We know that COVID was
good for business. It was bad for people's health, but good
for business. We printed up a lot of money and put a lot of a
lot of money into the states and everybody had lots of money,
lots of money, especially into the states. And so now the cat
is kind of out of the bag Victoria Nuland admitted it it's
in the New York Times in the Wall Street Journal, The
Washington Post, everyone's trying to say, hey, you really?
This money for Ukraine? It's not really for Ukraine is for us?
Have you noticed an uptick in this in this narrative?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Yeah, I guess for us, even though we
make a tank here and pay workers to make the tank and then ship
the tank off for free to Ukraine.
Adam Curry: Right. But I think I have a feeling that this is
really the only thing that's keeping our country in business
at all.
John C Dvorak: Well, that and money laundering Well,
Adam Curry: let's, let's listen to a bit of the money laundering
scam from a Democrat, who, of course, is a war monger from
Colorado, Representative Jason crow.
Unknown: But let's also talk about how this bill is
structured and how it provides that support. It provides that
support by spending over half of the money right here in the
United States, to US businesses and US workers from places like
Texas and North Carolina and Pennsylvania and Colorado, all
throughout this nation, who will be building the equipments and
supplies that we'll be sending to our military costs. Another
important part of this, our military sends our old equipment
to Ukraine. And Ukraine uses John great effect on the
battlefield. Yeah, we can tell the new stuff has kept by our
military. Oh, so let's break this down. Break, please break
it down. We're supporting our economy, for protecting our
100,000 troops. We're ensuring a stable and prosperous Europe.
We're defeating the Russian military. We're ensuring food
supplies, we're updating, updating our own military
stocks. We're infusing money in the US Defense industrial base
and to our own workers and businesses. And we're doing all
of this for less than 5% of our annual defense budget.
Adam Curry: So new term, military industrial base,
instead of saying complex we say base, and I don't know what that
even means. military industrial base. Is that the base of all of
our industry, I guess so. But here's what I found out, by
John C Dvorak: the way that that number he threw out at the end
is bogus. Oh, it's much
Adam Curry: more than the 5% I presume?
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Now, this is the beauty that I didn't realize it
until I came across this report from Turkish Radio Television
who I'm liking more and more these days. This war, the so
called War is allowing us to soak and screw the entire
European Union. We're soaking them for hundreds of billions of
dollars. Since the
Unknown: start of the Ukrainian war. Industrial production in
the US Defense and Space sector has increased by 17.5% European
governments in including Poland, Germany, and other NATO eastern
flank countries have placed ordered worth billions of
dollars. Their shopping list include fighter jets,
helicopters, tanks and other hardware in 2023 spending by
European countries went up by 30% to $345 billion, almost a
third higher than a decade ago. Pull on $30 billion orders for
Apache helicopters High Mobility Artillery Rocket System HIMARS M
one a one Abrams tanks and other hardware from the US Germany
will spend over $20 billion to buy 35 us made F 35 fighter jets
and 60 Chinook helicopters and related equipment, as it ramps
up military spending from $50 billion in 2021 to over $100
billion in 2022. Following crushers worries crane,
Romania's government increased his 2024 defense budget by
almost 45% over 2023, reaching roughly $20.8 billion to
accommodate major weapons purchase from the US this surge
in demand has created 1000s of jobs and production lines have
spread across 40 US states already but the economic
benefits are not limited to the defense industry. But wait,
there's more US has become the world's largest exporter of
liquefied natural gas. The destruction of Russian gas
supplies has meant Europe has turned to America for his gas.
This has led to significant investments in new LNG projects,
boosting the US economy even faster for indirect investment
in the US has seen a nearly 50% increase with European companies
attracted by the access to cheap and abundant energy.
Adam Curry: It's a bonanza hundreds. Okay. I didn't realize
this. I didn't realize that that all that money they were we're
sending money to Ukraine. No, you're not. You're sending it to
us.
John C Dvorak: This is great. Oh, here. Yeah. Let's listen to
some more a less histrionic analysis of how much money is
actually being spent? Oh, by Are you?
Adam Curry: Are you gonna bum me out? Now? I
John C Dvorak: run that I know it's gonna bum you out or not.
But I don't believe anything. That guy said. Oh, I can see why
he's like it is a great clip. But let's listen to the Al
Jazeera who looks at these things probably says they're not
that involved in this war as Turkey is. And Turkey is trying
to humiliate the EU all the time. Yes. Let's listen to this
clip as Ukraine war and it has contributions. I want
Unknown: to take a quick look at this point at the contributions
that we've been seeing from from different countries. Obviously,
Western powers, as we've been talking about have been heavily
supporting Ukraine's war effort. Let's look at some of those
numbers. Now Cuba has received around $270 billion worth of
aid, including military, financial and humanitarian
support. The biggest donor is the United States, it's given
more than $75 billion over the past two years. And a new aid
package, as we've been talking about worth around $60 billion
is though currently stalled in US Congress. Western powers have
also given Ukraine advanced weaponry, including tanks,
fighter jets, and anti aircraft weapons. Looking at European
contributions Germany that was what more than $19 billion worth
UK 9.8 billion France I was interested to see is 686
million. So it's pretty bold of Macron. To talk about needing to
do more when they're that far behind in contributions, isn't
it? I wanna Well,
according to the Kiel Institute, which is tracking the the public
contributions because of course, some of the contributions may
not always be public. Indeed, France is in 14th place after,
indeed, as you said, the United States, Germany, which is the
biggest European contributor, the UK, Poland, many, many
others. So everybody is contributing, but I fully agree
that everybody needs to do more because this is an existential
moment.
Adam Curry: Ah, the Frenchman. Frogs are no good. I ponying up
McCrone.
John C Dvorak: The big this evolved from a conversation
about the McCrone saying he's gonna send troops I have the
clip. Many
Unknown: Western nations have done far more than France to
help Ukraine. But France is certainly the first float the
idea of putting boots on the ground French vote even if
President Macron stressed there are no plans or agreements to do
so. In yet but constant social depo over a year. There is no
consensus today to officially openly and with endorsement to
send troops to Ukraine. But in terms of dynamics, nothing
should be ruled. It will do everything necessary to ensure
that Russia cannot win this war. The comments came after a
hastily convened summit of Ukrainian allies called in the
Shadow of War. Russian military advances your cubic feet, we
should not rule out the need for security, justify some elements
of deployment. But I've told you very clearly what France
maintains as its position, which is a strategic ambiguity.
Standby.
Adam Curry: I think most of Europe is saying, hey, send
Pierre man, that's fine by me.
John C Dvorak: No, actually, they're all saying no, you can't
do it. Don't do it. You're gonna get us all in trouble.
Adam Curry: Did you see what what Schultz did the German
Chancellor. He blocked he blocked a Taurus.
John C Dvorak: They don't want to get NATO involved in boots on
the ground. This was just macarons in trouble politically
throws this out there. He's not going to give him any more than
the 480 million or whatever she passed. amount of money he's
contributed. So he makes this bullcrap that wouldn't happen in
a million years.
Adam Curry: Here's here's Schultz
Unknown: Chancellor Alessia it says Berlin Will Not Supply
Ukraine with long range tourists cruise missiles now shots cited
the missiles extreme range and the fact that it would not be
possible for Germany to remotely monitor target control. Taurus
missiles can hit targets up to 500 kilometres away and try it
said the missiles deployment could increase the risk of
Germany becoming involved in the war.
Adam Curry: Yeah, no kidding. You can't trust the Lensky with
that. You'll be sending it into Moscow. How far is Moscow? How
many how many kilometers is miles we
John C Dvorak: had that on the show before it is I think is
less than 500 miles. Yeah. So this is
Adam Curry: no you can't give that to that guy. That's no
good.
John C Dvorak: No, no, not he just send them all to Moscow.
Adam Curry: So that we have Yulia No, no, no Vanya because
you have to say at a at the end. So she is now the new the new
spokesmodel for war. And she so after her appearance at the
Munich Security Conference, where the news broke as the
coincidence amazing. She goes to Brussels now there's a problem
with Yulia it her English is really really not good enough to
sound forceful. She has the right look. Now, she got the
cool bell bottom, pants on which is very modern, with the so
she's got me that the hair tied back everything. It's all the
right look, but it's not not quite hitting home with the
accent
Unknown: Yuliana. Vanya told the blocks elected representatives
her husband Alexei was murdered on the orders of Russian
President Vladimir Putin
on his orders. Alexei was tortured for three years. She
was starved in a tiny stone cell GLaDOS from the outside world,
and denied visits, phone calls, and then even letters. And then
they killed him.
Kremlin continues to deny those allegations. She said Russian
authorities delayed the release of his body, and she worries
people attending the funeral on Friday would be arrested. I
literally told the parliament that despite sanctions, and
despite the donated weapons, ammunition and money for
Ukraine, Putin's invasion continues and his grip on power
at home is stronger than ever.
You cannot charge coach in this in this in other resolution, or
another set of sanctions is no good. That is no different from
the previous ones. You cannot defeat him by thinking he's a
man of principle who has morals and drills. She is not like
that. And Alex Alexei realized that a long time ago. You're not
dealing with a police. You're not dealing with a politician.
But we say bloody
Adam Curry: monster, a bloody monster. Bloody monster.
John C Dvorak: Your point is well taken. Yeah. Now
Adam Curry: here's what's interesting. So first, the was
the guy in Ukraine. The the HU archief Hu ours the intelligence
the main director of intelligence of Ukraine's
Ministry of Defense, Curie lo Boudin off came out and said
well, I said he quote I may disappoint you but as far as we
know Alexion evaluate died as a result of a blood clot this
Yeah, this is not when the VAX well that's what they don't
throw in and and even even crazier. He they were teeing up
to exchange him for, for some Russian guy, an
Unknown: ally of Alexei Maloney. The deceased Russian opposition
politician says Navalny was close to being freed at the time
of his death. In a YouTube video Maria PEF chick says there had
been plans for Navalny to be exchanged for a Russian Hitman
who's been held in a German jail talks were apparently in the
final stages when he died of Czech also repeated her
allegation that President Vladimir Putin is responsible
for Novelle knees death.
Adam Curry: Now, why would Putin do that? If he was a bargaining
chip and wanted to exchange him, why would he kill him? He
John C Dvorak: wouldn't admit to make any logical sense. This is
just all part of the anti Putin. You know, everything's Putin,
Putin Putin, including including the everybody from everything
going on over here is all Putin Putin the the, the Hunter Biden,
investigation is all Putin Putin Putin, Putin it is I mean, if
you listen to these I don't have the clip, unfortunately, should
have got it. Just a wrap up clip of every Democrat Congressman
saying is Putin is behind this is Russian disinformation. We're
back off this.
Adam Curry: We're back. We're back. And you know, it makes
sense. You know, who's back? Scary Poppins is back. That Nina
Jiang KOVITCH. You know, you remember her vaguely so she
shows up. I'll do a little intro clip here from this is NPR, New
Hampshire
Unknown: voters heard a familiar voice on the other end of a robo
call last month, telling them not to vote in the upcoming
Democratic presidential primary important
that you save your vote for the November election. We'll need
your help in electing Democrats up and down ticket. Voting this
Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to
reelect Donald Trump again, your vote makes a difference in
November, not just Tuesday.
That's sure sounds like President Joe Biden right down
to his trademark more earlier in the call. But it's actually a
deep fake that used AI to mimic Biden's voice to try to
illegally suppress voting and disrupt the New Hampshire
primary. Nina djenka wits is vice president at the Center for
Information resilience. And in a new piece she wrote for Foreign
Affairs, she argues that we're about to be bombarded with
disinformation like that, ahead of the 2024 election. And she
says the US government has really given up trying to fight
it. So
Adam Curry: I look up this Center for Information
resilience.
John C Dvorak: I'm already laughing.
Adam Curry: Love how it says about us the Center for
Information resilience is an independent, nonprofit, social
enterprise dedicated to exposing human rights abuses and war
crimes, countering disinformation and combating
online behavior harmful to women and minorities. Our projects in
Myanmar, Ukraine and Afghanistan are at the forefront of efforts
to investigate and document human rights abuses. Now, this
is what's interesting. This is a certified members of social
enterprise UK organization. So and it even has a picture of
London on the front. But then in this, how are you funded? Well,
this is very interesting. We have no core funding, we receive
funding from for individual projects that support our
organizational objectives, blah, blah, blah, blah. For instance,
the me Mr. Witness project is supported by grants from UK
Foreign commonwealth and development office and
Australia's department for Foreign Affairs and Trade. Like
other charities, nonprofits who receive government and
multilateral support, these funds go directly towards
delivering our project work. Are you funded by any government?
Why yes, we have received grants from the UK Government, foreign
commonwealth and Development Office, the US State Department,
USA ID and Australia's department for Foreign Affairs
and Trade. So this is just another governmental
organization or non governmental organization that she's weaseled
herself into. And I'm sure that they'll be releasing reports and
making noise and maybe they even get to do stuff, you know,
combat myths and disinformation. Because this is what it's going
to be you
Unknown: know, I think we're more vulnerable now than we have
been at any time in the past 10 years. And I'm including 2018
deluge of Russian disinformation that we that time. We are in an
extremely partisan politicized environment when it comes to
disinformation. And so all of the good work that was built up
since 2016 to push back on disinformation, whether it was
coming from foreign entities or domestic entities, is now being
labeled as censorship which is frankly not that's a bold faced
lie. Oh, so the kinds of
Adam Curry: shows taking people down and taking accounts off of
social media is not since censorship was a bold faced lie
Unknown: is now being labeled as censorship Well, It's frankly
not that's a bold faced lie. No one's
Adam Curry: calling face when it's coming from a nonprofit or
a non governmental organization. You're correct. It is not
directly censorship.
Unknown: So the kind of playing field is open for anybody who
wants to get involved there. And I'm talking about foreign
entities. You know, I think Russia certainly has a lot to be
meddling for, both with, you know, regard to the war in
Ukraine, but also, I think it's clear that they will prefer a
Trump presidency over a Biden presidency in the future, and
we'll probably be gunning for that. But we also have a wide
array of
Adam Curry: effect, Putin said exactly the opposite. He's on
record saying he prefers Biden over trover for
Unknown: a Trump presidency over a Biden presidency in the future
and will probably be gunning for that. But we also have a wide
array of domestic dissident formers across the political
spectrum who are spreading lies for power and for profit.
Adam Curry: Lies for power and for profit and for podcasts.
Yes, podcasts, power and profit. Or our neighbor spoke about this
very system. And she spoke quite eloquently. I'm talking about
Laura Logan, right down the road here. She was in Washington, DC
for the Ron Johnson roundtable, which you know, has so he gets a
lot of good people in in in these roundtables, and they do
it in some side meeting room of the Capitol C span. C span
doesn't cover it, you know, they run repeats of the Nixon
presidency, like oh, we're not going to cover that. You know,
they had they had, you know, Malone was there. And O'Dowd
about the the excess deaths and Dell big tree. And Laura Logan.
She spoke and then she was asked by Senator Johnson about the
censorship issue with nonprofits and she answered quite
eloquently.
Unknown: Thank you, Miss Logan, we're only have a few seconds.
Can you said you've been targeted over the last 10 years?
Can you describe what precipitated your targeting?
Yes, reporting the truth about Benghazi, I was attacked by one
of those NGOs that masquerades as a nonpartisan watchdog in
violation of its 5013 c status. It occupies a highly partisan
position. I'm talking about media matters for America, I'm
sure there's many doctors in this room, scientists who've
been attacked by the same people. The same people that run
that David Brock, for example, and other political assassin now
runs an organization called facts first USA which is
designed to make sure that your research that doesn't never
reach, it never reaches the people or the public. There are
other organizations like defeat disinfo, which claims to be a
pack that goes off to disinformation, particularly set
up to target COVID. And throughout COVID, with General
Stanley McChrystal, and the other people that advise that
organization. But what you know, Senator Johnson, it's not a
secret that these organizations exist. What is not widely known
and talked about, is that it's paid for by us. It's paid for by
the taxpayers, in your omnibus spending bills that gets shoved
through the House and the Senate, against the will of the
people of this country. They are there are cutouts for these
NGOs. And what they do is they launder this money, they pass it
from one NGO to the next. And in the name of preventing the
spread of disinformation. They censor silence, intimidate and
punish. I said that this is a death sentence for journalists.
It's how you murder a journalist without killing them.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this this, of course, is a good point she's
making how US ID gives us AI D gives money to these big NGOs
and the NGOs. They then give away a lot of that money to all
these weird organizations. Yeah, it's it's a perfect system. And
me if we do want to talk about disinformation, man, you had a
great rant over email when someone sent us his New York
Times article about the secret CIA bases in Ukraine. Yeah, I
mean, talk about propaganda. Right down to well, this is how
we know that the Russian shot down the Malaysian airliner, and
I mean, it's just it's crazy.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this was a long piece. I was in the New
York Times I think it's been going around and it's obviously
written by the CIA, to for whatever purposes has got just
loaded with material. And it says it's transparently a bogus
article, but it was given one of those huge massive treatments.
Very long piece about 5000 words. Yeah. It was interesting.
Yeah. Yeah, I got hooked by it was just an eye opener. So I
read it. Yeah, it's an eye opener. All right.
Adam Curry: Yeah, Ah, yeah, gee, do you mean it's interesting?
You mean we've been in there since 2014? Really? No you don't
say I wonder how that started could it be with cookies?
Cookies Victoria Nuland cookies on the my daughter? Don't forget
Brenda was there I Brennan Yes, Brett who was all he's back
again Brennan. I saw Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: just got back for some reason they pushed him back
out there. I don't know why he's unhinged. He's not saying
anything interesting. Unfortunate. No, and he's
annoying he's not like he's not he's not personable. He's not a
good spokesperson. But he just seems like a creep he
Adam Curry: doesn't have gems like this
Unknown: people are innocent until alleged to be involved in
some type of criminal activity. Yes.
John C Dvorak: Those are the all time classic. Those
Adam Curry: are the gems we want. We want that stuff. Now
he's Yeah, it's just annoying. There's nothing good coming out
about him. I don't know why odd.
John C Dvorak: So I wanted to I sent a bonus clip because I
wanted to introduce a topic so we can all follow it. Okay.
Which is the the, you are what you are? I know I am what I say
you are which is being yourself multicopter the health, which is
a great phrase and Dutch. Yes, you are with aim. So I didn't
want to do this at all. That means that's why I sent the
bonus clip. Because this bonus clip is i is between three and
five years old. I think it's hard to say because it showed up
on Tik Tok as part of a reiteration there's nothing to
reiterate,
Adam Curry: it's a classic bonus clip. It's a
John C Dvorak: clip, but they're reiterating some of this
bullcrap that has never caught on. And this started with and
what they're doing is they're finding the foibles of Biden
and, and starting to project them on Trump. Oh, and so it's
good. And they're doing it consistently. And it started
with Jen Psaki and others going, Biden and Trump are the same
age. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, first of all, they're not the
same age, and they're not even in the same generation. It's
only a short difference, like four years difference in age, I
believe, which is a lot. But
Adam Curry: up in those regions. Yeah. The difference between 77
and 8181. Yeah, that makes a difference. I think it makes a
difference. If I can just say Richard Lewis dead at 76. That
that feels now it was Parkinson's. He got Parkinson's.
No, yeah, he was a wreck that feels that just feels bad. It
doesn't feel right. Sorry.
John C Dvorak: So I've already Okay, well, I don't want to get
into Richard Lewis. But so they're starting to do this they
started with they're the same age, they're not the same age.
They're not the same generation. That's which is even more
important in the age. Also a notch than what triggered me to
get this clip and some and discuss it a little bit was a
article in Microsoft start the Microsoft has this page that
they throw at you every chance they get on your Windows 11 has
a bunch of I have Windows what they trump propaganda.
Adam Curry: Why don't I have start? Why don't I get this
propaganda? If
John C Dvorak: you have a little weather bug in the left hand
corner of your screen? No, no, no, I don't. Okay, well, if you
click on that, boom, it opens it up. You can't help it. So, but
there's a lot of anti Trump stuff and the thing that caught
my attention was Trump's show. Analysis of such such sins such
as speech shows Trump's mental decline, obvious mental decline,
and this is all the stuff that they're talking about with
Biden. Yeah, so so. So the, this piece that comes out and I did a
little research on it, there was a an incident, I think it was in
2020. Where somebody photoshopped Trump on the golf
course. Which is why they they don't let anyone near the golf
courses when he's golfing anymore. You'll see too many
pictures of Trump golfing. No, because he looks fat because
somebody photoshopped some shit on his pants. Namie crapped
himself while he was on the golf course class and even and even
Snopes should look it up because I photos quite funny and well
done. But
Adam Curry: AI man, it's
John C Dvorak: not even AI. Pre AI with AI is going to be
better. So we ended up with with stuff like this particular clip,
which is a this was triggered I believe, by Adam Kissinger. Who
is an asshole oh man, you're just on fire today. X Democrat
who in December I think Iran just before Christmas came on to
some of that one podcast or another and discussed how Trump
stinks to high heaven. So if you're around I've never heard
this before. But and you'd think that after years on the
apprentice for years in office still floating around that
somebody besides Adam Kissinger, who I don't believe even shook
hands with Trump, ever, why would he? I think he's just a
lie. And I think this other thing, which I'm playing now is,
is I think where a lot of this stems from they're trying to
ignite this meme, which just doesn't make any sense. He would
Unknown: often soiled himself on The Apprentice set. He's
incontinent from all the speed, all the Adderall, he does the
cocaine that he's done for decades. All that stuff has a
laxative, and it has an effect on your, on your bowels and his
or uncontrollable, he's worn diapers, since probably the 90s
but I saw it firsthand in the 2000s on Celebrity Apprentice
and late 2000s. And we'd have to stop the show and, and change
him, you know, and that was Keith Schiller his job, he would
take them off set, he would wipe them down, or nickname for Keith
wet wipes comedian
and former Trump worker Noel casler. spilled the beans to
Midas touch. He'll also
do it in a rage. And this is where it gets really drunk
related. He'll start to freak out. You know, one time there
was the word arbitrage on a cue card. And he started screaming
that, you know, the script department was setting him up.
You're setting me up and he just freaked out and then very
loudly, evacuated his bowels. Oh, wow.
Adam Curry: This is I don't care. I don't care what time in
the show. It is. You're getting clipped for the day right off
the bat. Yeah. It's been a while. How can we not have had
this clip before? This is great news. So
John C Dvorak: So couple of things. First of all, that he
would get upset by the word arbitrage anyone is involved in
negotiations or anything like that would net that word is
common, a common word to be used by people in finance. I
Adam Curry: thought for a moment that he that Trump had was going
to read his arbites rage and that's why he got mad but that's
not where the clip went. But yes, arbitrage Of course.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. So that's not going to upset anybody. The
second thing is, is that Adderall and and cocaine do not
cause incontinence where you it causes constipation, if anything
if you do some research and look it up. So that's just a basic
lie. So this guy comes out of the blue with this. And here's
why it's ludicrous is because, first of all, we've never heard
of this before this guy and before Adam Kisan Kissinger
Kisan grew, his last name is eluding me before these two
Boneheads. And you'd think that all those years of The
Apprentice show that some contestant or somebody even
though you signed nondisclosure is when you do these shows,
you'd think somebody would say something about this. And then
he goes for years of the presidency where they're going
after him tooth and nail with everything. They've got Russian
conspiracies, bad phone calls, you name it, and this doesn't
come up. And now it comes up just before the election, and
has been rien reintroduced to trying to. But again, this comes
up along with the overseeing of mental decline and Trump in his
speeches, we're seeing this regime that this is again, that
Dutch phrase been, you know, applying perfectly to what's
going on and people can just, this is, this is the lowest that
you can go for the Democrats.
Adam Curry: I'm sure they can now they can go lower. Come on,
come on, they might
John C Dvorak: be able to go lower, but I don't know what
it's gonna be more we're gonna eat babies.
Adam Curry: So, Joe Biden went into Walter Reed, and, and when
he came out of Walter Reed, I only found one clip with video
dude, that is not Joe Biden, when he I think the key now is
the Aviators. When he's wearing the Aviators, you got to pay
attention to his gait. This was not not Joe Biden, the President
this was someone else he comes strolling out he's got his
aviators on you. Even his face looks just tighter. Tighter, you
know, maybe it was a mask? I don't know. But the mask and
then and then the answers for the press were hilarious.
Unknown: The oldest president in US history left Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center triumphant after two and a half
mination I'm triumph defended down a verdict of fit for duty.
cognitive tests are not usually included in such examinations.
And the White House rebuked any suggestion that this would be
necessary.
The President's doctor has says if you look at what this
President the President who was also the Commander in Chief, he
passes a cognitive test every day, every day as he moves from
one topic to another topic of trying understanding the
granular level of these topics
face after polling showed that
Adam Curry: this is that's proof you goes from one topic to the
next topic. That's just Goofy's. He knows what he's doing he
knows is on another topic. 76%
Unknown: of us voters have misgivings about the President's
age in the run up to the 2024 presidential race. A recent
report, exonerating Joe Biden over the possession of
classified documents after leaving office in 27. Blah,
blah.
Adam Curry: And then I got I got two clips from his NBC Seth
Meyers appearance. I know, I've got to wonder if this was if
this was also the the other Biden we just call them dark
Brandon, I think is the other the other Biden is dark,
Brandon. I mean, did you watch that interview?
John C Dvorak: I watched part of it, and I was gonna get some
clips from it. But for some reason I didn't do well, I
Adam Curry: got to I got to.
John C Dvorak: I'm glad you got yeah, here we go. It does
Unknown: seem as though democracy in vague terms
somehow, is not easy for us to grasp, having dealt with
dictators. What do you see in a world where democracy is
actually at risk in a way it might be in this election?
So first of all do a dictators do is they disregard whatever
the rule of law is? They just disregard it. Here's the guy who
says he wants to, he thinks he can change the constitution and
ignore it. Just ignore portion of the Constitution. Here's the
guy who talks about retribution. Here's the guy. Look, you have a
lot of guys, the 1000s of people who stormed the Capitol,
storming the capitol for insurrectionist. Two cops died.
Other people were badly hurt. And what did he say? Listen to
these lies, they got convicted and or they pled guilty. And he
said, they're patriots, good patriots. And he says he's going
to forgive them all. He's going to you're going to every one of
them is going to be released. What is I mean, that that's what
happens in Eastern European countries. What happens in
America, in
Adam Curry: Eastern European countries is what you did to
them. This was interesting. He gets he mixes it up in Eastern
European countries, they don't let people go. Am I
misunderstanding? It's a great point. Yeah, he's nuts. And then
then he puts his foot in it with this one, again,
Unknown: you seem like an optimistic person that you
believe maybe there's a future for a two state solution before
I'm sitting. It does seem like there doesn't seem to be any
appetite for that right now. Do you see what is? Because again,
we see this horrible everyday we see this horrible images out of
Gaza. And is there a path forward? Is there a safe future
for the people who live there? There is
a path forward with difficulty. But here's the path forward.
Look, first of all, there are the hostages being held must be
released. And then we've got a decent principle agreement.
There'll be a ceasefire, while that takes place. Ramadan is
coming up. And there's been an agreement by the Israelis that
they would not engage in activities during Ramadan as
well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out.
That gives us
Adam Curry: I just listened to this. You're right. But just for
being yourself, who's on Coker speed here? That's this guy
Unknown: time to get all the hostages out. That gives us time
to begin to move in directions that a lot of Arab countries are
prepared to move in, for example, Saudi Arabia is ready
to recognize Israel, Jordan is Egypt, for six other states have
been working with Qatar. And the bottom line is that I'm not I
think the only way Israel ultimately survives, and I make
no bones about it. I get criticized for having said a
long time ago, you need not be a Jew to be a Zionist, Zionist, or
the No, Israel does not enjoy in the world to be safe.
Adam Curry: Oh, no one briefed him that was not a good idea to
say that. That's like third rail. Amazon has
John C Dvorak: he's he's right about the he's right about the
fact that he has said that. Yes, he has. Its it has been
recorded. So I'm not sure why I felt the need to say it because
he's, he's nuts. So he is nuts.
Adam Curry: And but but the anti Trump stuff is great. I mean,
it's back to 2015. I mean, bring on Reverend Al Sharpton, please.
Unknown: I repeat the insult of saying that black voters would
in some way, be enticed to support him because he had a mug
shot like all of us who are criminals, or to say that
because he has four indictments, one of which are really two of
which have Georgia and the Federal around him trying to rob
votings when we had to fight, people were bloody beaten and
killed to get us the right to vote. And one person one of his
supporters got on Fox News saying blacks love him because
of the sneakers. Let me get this right. If you didn't support
George Floyd justice as a policing like Biden did, and
signed an executive order he didn't support the job. On Louis
voting rights, but we supposed to go for sneakers and a mug
shot. And those blacks that are standing there with him, Have
you no shame. That does it for me. Thanks for watching.
Adam Curry: Oh, I was so great. Let's listen to the to the black
sneaker guy,
Unknown: even the sneaker thing. I was on social media last
night. I don't think this guy's black, by the way. Very
interesting, as you see black support eroding from Joe Biden,
this is connecting with black America, because they love
sneakers or into sneakers. They
love the deal,
certainly in the inner city, is Fox News. Of course, when you
have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, wait a
minute, this is cool. He's reaching them on a level that
defies and is above politics, the culture, always Trump's
politics. And Trump understands culture, like no politician I've
ever seen.
Adam Curry: He understands it. So well. This is this is what he
said. And his most recent when these
Unknown: lights are so bright in my eyes that I can't see too
many people out there. But I can only see the black ones. I can't
see any white ones. That's how far I've come. That's how far
I've come. That's a long, that's a long way.
We've come a long way together.
Adam Curry: Who else can say that? Well, this
John C Dvorak: was of course in front of the black. Yes, of
course it was conservative Federation or whatever it's
called. Yes. And he put it but that's you know, the funny thing
is I don't have the whole thing. But one of the shows on Fox?
Because it was a counter to the guy's like K part override. Oh,
yeah, of course. We saw that as this is the most racist thing. I
can't imagine anyone saying this is a racist, racist. And he went
on. So they played different clips from parts. I got to get
the whole thing. Because what happened with this with this
speech? Is that his prompt or went out right away. Oh,
excellent sabotage. So he was sabotage right at the beginning.
And he still did a 45 minute set. That killed every second
segment I've seen of it so far it killed was just hilarious.
His
Adam Curry: set killed so much Richard Lewis died. That's how
good it was. It just killed.
John C Dvorak: He's doing bits like he's doing the one bit I
remember. But he's doing firstly, does his Joe Biden
staggering around bit, which is new. And he doesn't do it that
often. But when he does it as funny. So he stagger around
doing Joe biases. And Joe has asked a question is what's your
favorite color? And what's your favorite ice cream flavor? And
he says, of course, he said, My favorite color is black. And my
favorite ice cream is vanilla. And he's getting killing you.
roars laugh, you're feeling these gags Yeah. And he's ad
libbing the whole 45 minutes. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that's impressive.
John C Dvorak: He's impressive insofar as the Schumer is
concerned. He's not impressive to me, by the fact that he
didn't pardon, Julian Assange. But we'll leave that for another
day.
Adam Curry: I mean, and his pushing of the VAX is not very
impressive either. And not saying yeah,
John C Dvorak: he's awfully funny.
Adam Curry: So everyone is so unhinged that Reverend Al is
doing super cuts again,
Unknown: pushing proven conspiracy theory is that
pushing proven that they were not match with conspiracy
theories Jen Sakhi yesterday President Biden revenue. Rep
President Biden Vodun quote, bye bye fruit bifurcate laws that
criminalize conceptual gay second, California. What are
your thoughts? How do we I mean, some say he's Jim Jones or Jim
Jordan with a jacket on he co authored the bill on a to Israel
and retrained recurring.
John C Dvorak: Brain was back else bash about timing you would
happen you must have lost an editor so he's befuddled
Adam Curry: by love a producer he's befuddled is great. It's
great. Oh my goodness. It's so funny. And let me see what did I
have? Well, there is some serious news. Of course.
John C Dvorak: You still on call? I do have one COVID clip?
Oh,
Adam Curry: I've gone way past COVID I'm on Trump and Biden.
Where are you?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm backing it up. Okay. Because I want to
at least get this out of the way. There's a woman in
Australia. This is this is a version of who said that gal in
Ireland that we like to play her daily. Claire day. This is the
this is a Claire Daly of Australia reading the riot act
to the Australian In parliament, she's in Parliament. And she's
in some obscure party like one Australia, so some very minor
party. But I thought that this rant is worth getting on our
show, because we love these rants anyway. And this is Paulo
Pallone. Hansen,
Unknown: folks today has seen an important victory in the fight
for freedom and human rights in Australia. The Queensland
Supreme Court today determined that COVID-19 vaccine mandates
imposed on placing health workers were unlawful. The
Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health were wrong to
force mandates on their organizations. I said from the
start these mandates were wrong. I said from the start, they
contravene section 51 part 23 A of the Constitution which
prohibits civil construction through the provision of medical
services. One Nation was the only party sign it I said from
the start the mandate should be unlawful. I introduced
legislation in this Parliament that would have made certain
they were unlawful. With a couple of notable exceptions,
the government opposition greens Jacqui Lambie, and other
independents refused to support my bill. You all got it wrong. I
feel vindicated once again that I have got things right, and I'm
in tune with the Australian people. You didn't care that
people were being coerced into vaccination at risk of their
jobs. You didn't care the individual freedoms rights you
were supposed to defend and protect were under attacked. You
relish the power state governments were make taking
from their citizens, you cheered them on, you were wrong. One
Nation was right, because we were standing up for the
individual freedoms and constitutional authority that
underpin Australian democracy. You didn't and you attacked us
for it. You were wrong. This decision by the Queensland
Supreme Court makes it paramount. We have a Royal
Commission into the COVID 19 pandemic, the Prime Minister's
Toothless inquiry must be abandoned on a Royal Commission
can compel the secret advice that led to these unlawful
vaccine mandates in Queensland. And I feel for the firefighters
that have gone through it as well in New South Wales. And the
call
Adam Curry: was a bummer clip. But since you're doing that,
yes, the season of reveal is upon us. And this clip is from
Bloomberg Bloomberg who does serious business news. And the
so the Bloomberg host is talking to a medical doctor who was a
reporter for Bloomberg and talking about how COVID Cause
all these other illnesses. And then he slips in a VAX question
her answer, surprising to say the least
Unknown: was it just heart disease rates that were worsened
by COVID, or whether other ailments that were pressured by
this pandemic?
You know, COVID was terrible for every part of your body, we saw
increases in diabetes, we saw increases in stroke, we saw
increases in atrial fibrillation, and even things
you wouldn't normally tie to something like an infectious
disease. We were seeing more Alzheimer's disease, for
example, and even cancer. So absolutely. COVID was bad all
around every part of our bodies. Why
is that? An
Adam Curry: outstanding question. So why? Why is that,
that all of this happened because of COVID. And he slips
it in been.
Unknown: And if you were inoculated, if you had the
vaccine, where you better protected from from some of
those factors, what was behind the reason for the uptick in all
of those different ailments? Right,
such a great question. And that's exactly what scientists
are trying to get to the bottom of
Adam Curry: now. It's such a great question. Scientists are
trying to get to the bottom of it now, right,
Unknown: because, of course, it wasn't just that people were
getting infected, and that infection was killing them. That
infection was also doing other things to our healthcare system,
for example. So people weren't doing things like going to the
to the doctor, they were not getting the cancer screening
that they normally would have. And in some cases, healthcare
systems were overwhelmed. So they stopped doing things. She
Adam Curry: could just leave it at this, but she just goes on
and she reveals, oh,
Unknown: they can just any kind of preventative, elective
surgeries and other types of, you know, emergency rooms were
closed, everything was overwhelmed. So there was
definitely some fallout from that. But also, your other
question is, is also a very hot topic and that we saw a lot of
questions today on our tea live. People want to know how bad were
the vaccines? To what extent was that contributing, and the
research is really unequivocal on this? There's no doubt that
vaccines did cause some harm, but it was far outweighed by the
numbers of lives that were saved from the vaccinations. That's
the takeaway message, of course, that that the doctors
scientists, researchers want everyone to know. Of course it
is troubling if you're the one on the other end. and had some
kind of a bad side effects from COVID vaccine just like with any
vaccine, sometimes that does happen. But again, those
benefits including saving lives really did offset the risks so
Adam Curry: we saved or created more lives than we killed. And
that's what doctors want you to know. It's safe and effective.
It's no it's just coming out now now they they just had the
reporters are doing it not of course, on Good Morning America,
America's favorite Doctor Dr. Jenn. Know we have new New
information has come out. New stuff has come to light that
explains all of these heart attacks
Unknown: now to a GMA Health Alert for the over 48 minutes.
Adam Curry: By the way, it's a health alert people alert alert
now
Unknown: to a GMA Health Alert for the over 48 million
Americans who report using marijuana. A new study found
that daily maybe increasing a risk of having a heart attack or
stroke. Our CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT Dr. Jennifer
Ashton is here with more doc tell us about this study. My
friends have two very common things cannabis use heart
disease. This study done by the CDC was really looking to answer
the question, is there an association and after
controlling for key factors like age, diabetes, tobacco use, what
they found seemed to suggest that there was seem to suggest
this study found a 25
Adam Curry: just suggest the CDC the same people who told you
it's safe and effective
Unknown: that there was this study found a 25% increase odds
of having a heart attack with daily marijuana users a 42%
higher odds of having a stroke. Again with daily use loud assess
how you consume it, if you smoke it over the edibles well,
you sound like you're the researcher there. They mentioned
this as the limitation of which there are many in the way they
did this study. They didn't show an answer between smoking or
vaping or edible use. They need to do that research. Oh, so
Adam Curry: an edible an edible give you a stroke. Oh, let's
talk to Ann Thompson over at NBC. This
Unknown: new study makes it clear smoking cannabis is like
smoking tobacco. Dangerous to your heart. B
cannabis is not an innocent bystander when it comes to
cardiovascular disease.
The
research published in today's Journal of the American Heart
Association found people who use cannabis every day primarily
through smoking had a 25% increased risk of heart attack.
Adam Curry: The interesting interesting that Dr. Jen didn't
have that study in this lady appears to have that in the
study. I'm confused 82%
Unknown: increased risk of stroke compared to nonusers.
This is one of the largest studies to look at cannabis and
cardiovascular events, reviewing data from nearly 435,000
Americans. Do you remember
Adam Curry: when they were when the I may be wrong here but when
when the talk of legalization was really heating up? And I'm
talking eight, nine years ago, do you remember there were no
studies on on marijuana? They just wouldn't do them. Do you
remember that? Am I remember? There was
John C Dvorak: a big there was actually even years before that.
There was a 60 minute show and it was still a good show that
where they had to go to get any marijuana studies. They had to
go to Israel where they have just one scientist who was
kicking ass over there. And there was none of this sort of
thing. We didn't have any cover up for the vaccine. Yes. This is
a CDC looking for it. Hey, what's the what's what's
happening society that we can blame this and well, they
legalized marijuana a few years ago. That gives me an idea.
Adam Curry: Hey, let's have a meeting. I know called Dr. Jen
America's favorite doctor. Yeah, she'll buy it anything.
Meanwhile, controlled.
John C Dvorak: Good find.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, there's a good find by their controlled
opportunists. Dr. Phil was out promoting his book and his
forthcoming Television Network, which I think launch day we just
launched I'm not sure should be launching in any day now.
John C Dvorak: Who would know? We'll never see it. And he's Oh,
remember? Oh,
Adam Curry: wow. I gotta tell you about Oprah. She She's
leaving the weightwatchers board and is giving away all of her
stock.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, the stock is collapsing because of
ozempic. Exactly. They felt the loss something like 80 million
last quarter something Yeah, huge amount of money.
Adam Curry: I think she also wants to distance herself from
it. But I think she knows something. Say I want nothing to
do with it. I only I used it and I'm ashamed of it. And I gotta
get over the shame and I'm distancing myself from all of
that. I think she knows that now. Anyway, so Dr. Phil goes on
the view. And this is good and schools the ladies and
Unknown: like oh Wait, oh nine smartphones came on. And, and
kids started, they stopped living their lives and started
watching people live their lives. And so we saw the biggest
spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness
and suicidality, since records have ever been kept, and it's
just continued on and on and on. And then COVID hits 10 years
later, and the same agencies that knew that are the agencies
that shut down the schools for two years. Who does that, who
takes away the support system for these children? Who takes
them away to shut it down? And by the way, when they shut it
down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see
children that were being abused and sexually molested, and in
fact, sent them home and abandon them to their abusers. With no
way to watch and referrals dropped 50 to 60%. So, yeah,
it was they were trying to say they were trying to save kids
lives. Remember, we know a lot of folks who died during this.
It was people were laying around. But well, you know what,
we're lucky. Maybe we're lucky they didn't because we kept them
out of the the places that they could be sick because no one
wants to believe we
are you saying no school children died of COVID.
I'm saying it was the safest group. They were the less
vulnerable group. And they suffered and will suffer more
from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure
to COVID. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact.
We don't even have time to talk it out.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, man. By the time man. Got no time to
talk it out man. Who's the man? suicidality? Is that an actual
word is a new word? Well, there is suicidality. A new
Unknown: study details a troubling increase in the number
of teenagers on antidepressants, prescriptions have risen by 65%.
Since the pandemic girls make up the majority of the increase, a
study notes that antidepressants can be used for many conditions
other than depression and anxiety.
Adam Curry: Like what what what are you using it for snuffer
John C Dvorak: as again, you're so jacked up and go do a school
shooting,
Adam Curry: you know, are useful for that I got a note boots on
the ground. My wife is a PhD candidate in psychology, she and
other psychologists have told me a possible mechanism as to why
SSRIs could cause violence like school shootings. Before taking
medication, they have children, they have very little energy.
The medication gives them energy to get through the day. However,
they say if you combine depression with a new increased
energy level, this can lead to suicide for some and even
violent towards others. Just okay. It's also sick. Here we
were I went looking for that lawn order clip. I wish someone
could find it
John C Dvorak: is 208. You know, it's from the it's from the spin
it that clip Ralt let's see what that was.
Adam Curry: I had the Okay, what we're looking for a fictional
account of the elites
John C Dvorak: stealing Vax Vax
Adam Curry: parties, and here's the here's the underlying part
for me. I know a very wealthy guy in the Netherlands who's
older at the time of COVID. I think he was 7071. And the way
the Netherlands the way their vac system was set up, of
course, it's socialized healthcare. So you have to go
sit in the same room with everybody else and wait your
turn to see the doctor. But he threw money acquired not one,
not two, not three, but four shots. He said I wanted as much
as possible. work. And so we I was rereading one of Naomi
Wolf's accounts of going back to New York to the you know, the
the Upper East Side. And she talks about the same ladies who
were mostly dressed in post Marxist neat. So the Upper East
Side ladies who lunch too had been the, the site sinoder of
urban fashion, urbane fashion who had until recently dress for
every outing to outdo one another and to champion their
favorite designers would dress now not even in fashion indeed,
fashion seem no longer to exist. For 2020 These ladies would have
been in chic blacktail cocktail dresses, red frogs with low
backs are eggshell white dresses. Now the same ladies
were mostly dressed in a post Marxist meet suburban shopper
uniform they were wearing and they had been wearing in this in
the seven Well similar events which I attended recently, white
sneakers after Labor Day, clutching my pearls. They were
comfy black slacks sweaters and boxy shapes. Ladies who have
been blinded every month at the most selective salons with
famous signature rich Upper East Side lady blonding that New York
Magazine often discussed that would now appear to have thrown
in the towel were sedately fully grey. And all of these people
were talking about their ailments. Yeah, but show men
their ailments like oh, I have this and I've got shingles, I've
got all these different things, and I have to have an operation.
And you've just so there was a clip. What would you have titled
that clip? If if you could remember I
John C Dvorak: didn't get that clip if I did it it this thing
that this comes from a spin off law and order that had that guy
with a big butt whatever his name is on the don't watch it so
I have no idea why you know about this guy's but I don't
Adam Curry: know about any guys, but I'm not guys, but
John C Dvorak: I can't remember his name offhand. But he'd be
somebody in the chat room. I know he is. He's the main
character in the law and order, current law and order series.
Not criminal intent, but that other one, Chicago police, law
and order, okay. And it was called underworld underground or
something. It was went for about a year or two. And it was a spin
off law and order that was Law and Order was about criminals
about gangs. It was about the mob. And he was he went
underground in this situation and the domain antagonist in
this series for the first year, who later became a member of the
FBI. FBI Most Wanted cast. He was the criminal and he was the
one throwing these parties and this was a guy to be about.
Right. Within the with during the year that DevEx was rolled
out. So it's not a new clip, and it's not going to be easy to
find.
Adam Curry: That's too bad. I wish we knew. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, the thing to do is get a hold of the
writer or one of the producers and ask him where this idea came
from because it had to be happening in New York, New York
would be
Adam Curry: awesome. I just totally believe it. I totally
believe it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they this guy was a crook. Stole a
truckload of vaccines. He was refrigerated truck and he had a
big party with those buddies and they were all getting faxed.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: All right. So back to Trump for a minute. Because
the controlled opportunists are all dragging everybody to the
wrong Battlefield, which is the funny Willis saga. Which
although funny, I mean Megyn Kelly, she was just a just Jedi
Jedi about the latest I have
Unknown: here in front of me. The texts 31 pages of the text
message, text between Ashley merchant and Terrence Bradley,
we've got him. Oh, we got him. We've
got them right here. We're gonna get through them together.
obtained by our guest, Phil Holloway is breaking big news in
his case and breaks again right here on the Megan Kelly show.
You heard a couple of them earlier discussed in the show,
but we're gonna go over them all in order as they happened. Not
every single one because there's 31 pages we'll be here all day.
But the relevant one again, these are some of the texts that
Terrence Bradley is now claiming he was merely speculating about
you. You decide we'll walk you through them. Oh, please You
decide. My team has been going crazy on this morning in the
past few minutes trying to get something in order here hours
and
Adam Curry: hours of text messages. It's salacious poor
man. Everyone's Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. And her phone Bluetooth
was Gorilla Grip pussy. Oh wow. news breaking news.
John C Dvorak: It's funny. The thing I think I'm gonna start
referring to Fannie Willis as phony Willis. Because I was
watching you as a show kick. I don't have a clip from it. But
the show does show have you watch this? Dershowitz your
show? Yeah, it's called Dirt show. No, I have not. Yeah, it's
a podcast that his kid produces. And Dersch just comes on is like
the old school where you see one guy staring. One guy staring
into a camera and just pontificating about everything
he can think of, you know, old style that we used to see on
YouTube more than we do now. And dersh goes on and on and keep
saying phony Willis, phony Willis and a kiss himself and he
changes it to Symfonie Rand. And I just thought it was so funny
because I think phony Willis is very funny is a good phrase.
Adam Curry: Well, I guess, I guess the whole point is that
she perjured herself. So so whatever.
John C Dvorak: Well, they get. Yeah. Well, my favorite was they
asked that guy is her boyfriend. He's had some direct questions
that we have the phone cell data showing that you were at her
house. Yeah. And you were overnight and they was on and on
and on. And you're telling us that the phone cell data is not
correct. Okay. The guys with the straight faces? Yeah, it's
wrong. Okay.
Adam Curry: All right. So I'm not gonna go down that road.
Because there are actual things that matter such as the SCOTUS
opinions, the US
Unknown: Supreme Court's decision to decide whether
Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution. In his
election subversion case, won't just set a huge historical
precedent. It is hugely crucial because of its time surely, a
lower court already ruled unanimously that Trump is not
immune from prosecution for allegedly trying to overturn the
2020 election, which culminated in the January sixth capital
attack and outlined by the special prosecutor last year.
It was fueled by lies lies lies lies by
the defendant, targeted at obstructing a bedrock function
of the US government.
Trump argued that being present at the time granted him
immunity, but the lower court disagreed. The Supreme Court
could have chosen not to take this case and let that lower
court ruling stand, but instead it wants to have the final say
the Supreme Court will start hearing this case in late April,
and most court watchers think Trump will lose the case that
the court will agree with the lower court that Trump is not
immune from prosecution. But with the final decision not
expected until June. That means the possible trial for Trump
might not finish much less even start until after the November
election.
Adam Curry: Well, we have an opinion from our constitutional
lawyer Rob, which differs a little bit. And by the way, Rob
is also a ham radio operator, so he's very trustworthy. We can
trust him. He says,
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's exactly correct. It's
Adam Curry: like Eagle Scouts, ham radio guys trustworthy.
John C Dvorak: Yep. Eagle Scouts, ham radio guys. Same
thing.
Adam Curry: SCOTUS also entered an accelerated briefing and oral
argument scheduled Trump's opening brief is due in three
weeks. That's March 19. Jack Smith answering brief is due on
April 8, and Trump's reply brief is due April 15th. Oral
arguments will happen the week of April 22. So here's his
comment. One might be tempted to say this is good for Trump since
he gets a shortcut to SCOTUS on a major issue plus one sodas
grant SCOTUS grant cert. It's typically because it's
contemplating reversing the low the judgment of the lower court.
But Rob says he's not so sure this is the case here. As a
criminal defendant Trump probably wants to slow roll
things of course until the elections over. This is probably
why exercise the option of seeking on bonk review at the DC
Circuit. Before petitioning SCOTUS today's development skips
that step and moves things along much faster, probably not what
Trump wants. Add to this the accelerated case schedule, not
only does this move things along faster still, but it may also
signal that SCOTUS wants to nip the issue in the bud. That
prospect should troubled Trump's team. So of course, he says it's
all tea leaf reading on his part, but this is a, I think a
good analysis from from our ham radio broadcasting,
constitutional Eagle Scout lawyer.
John C Dvorak: Well, a couple of things that have to be noted. If
this goes through that the President has no immunity
whatsoever and everything he's responsible for everything he
does, this goes right back to the war crimes crimes of Bush
and the war crimes of Obama as specifically the killing of two
American citizens by Fiat when Obi had that Muslim extremists
who's an American and his son who was sitting in a cafe killed
by drone strikes, yes, yes. lockup I was just put this out
and out murder Nakamoto. But, you know, if you started doing
that, then we're gonna get into situation like every other
country in South America where this was the guy gets out of
office, he gets locked up,
Adam Curry: it would make sense. I mean, this isn't gonna be a
good thing. It would help the podcast it would make the
podcast very
John C Dvorak: it wouldn't be it would help the podcast I got to
Trump clips. By the way.
Adam Curry: I just want I hope they are protecting our Supreme
Court justices, all of them. I'm a little worried about
Unknown: about some of them.
Adam Curry: You know, they've read they're really hate
clients. Thomas so much. Now I remember when they were camping
outside of Justice's houses and they wouldn't Yeah, and they
weren't doing
John C Dvorak: anything about, you know, I'm Yeah, Nancy Pelosi
was encouraging it. Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So I'm just here's the,
John C Dvorak: here's an anti D clip on Trump immunity.
Adam Curry: Okay, hold on a second. Where are you Trump
immunity? Yes. Okay.
Unknown: This is in the DEA. The Supreme Court has agreed to take
up former President Trump's immunity claim that justices
will decide whether Trump is shielded from prosecution and
Special Counsel Jack Smith federal election case. The case
is currently on pause as Trump pursues his appealed. The former
president argues that he's entitled to presidential
immunity for official acts that occurred while he was in office.
A federal appeals court previously ruled that Trump does
not enjoy immunity. The High Court will hear oral arguments
in late April, this will likely further delay the trial for the
Federal Election case. Yeah,
Adam Curry: this contradicts contradicts what our our lawyer
here says, then yeah,
John C Dvorak: everybody thinks is gonna delay things. Now, the
other clip I have is about Trump and getting money.
Adam Curry: Yes, I am. We also have an opinion on this from our
lawyer
Unknown: and your appellate judge today rejecting former
President Trump's request to pause the $454 million civil
fraud penalty, but Associate Justice and I'll sing it did
grant Trump's request to stay other portions of the judgment
stayed the portion of the decision barring Trump from
running any New York corporation or applying for loans from the
state's banks for three years. His decision must still be
affirmed by a full panel of the mid level state appeals court.
Trump's attorneys had offered a post a $100 million bond.
Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the fraud case said
in a response that Trump's request shows he has
insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment. But Trump
may find the funds elsewhere, a potential merger involving true
social could give him access to billions of dollars. So
Adam Curry: here's So indeed, the appellate judge did overturn
two important parts of the points of the three main points
one, the original judgment barred his son's and others from
running the business and the lawyer said, Hey, you can't just
pull established management out of a large global operation,
have strangers run it, that would be disastrous, and the
appellate judge Singh agreed. The original judgment barred
Trump's businesses from getting loans in New York Trump's
lawyers pointed out this would prevent Trump from ever
obtaining the funds needed for an appeal bond. And the
appellate judge also agreed to this however, the judgment that
forced Trump to post an appeal bond of nearly half a billion
dollars, the foreigner had 60 Give or take. And his lawyers
offered to put up 100 million and the appellate judge said no.
So Trump needs to come up with the entire bond amount by
there's a date here, which no one ever mentions, I really
appreciate what our lawyer does here. By March 24, he needs to
post the bond on or before that date. And we were talking about
the 10%. You know, yes, you might be able to find a bail
bondsman that will will spot him for her, you know, for $400
million. Let him put up 40 Doubtful though. So he's gonna
have to figure that out somewhere. It's a lot, a lot of
cash. A lot of cash. And otherwise, yeah, I think I think
they'll go after his buildings and really try to destroy him.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't Yeah, ideas one way. I mean,
Biden, if you remember about a year ago or two years ago, he
said that that's what they're gonna do to keep Trump when he
was asked, it's not Trump's not gonna get on the ballot. We're
not gonna let him Yeah,
Adam Curry: they're really trying. Meanwhile, the the meme
continues that Trump has been captured, captured by the
Christian nationalists,
John C Dvorak: is whoever they are. Well, oh, oh,
Adam Curry: the professor at American University in Paris,
appeared on France 24 and explained exactly who they are,
despite
Unknown: the litany of criminal charges he's facing, he's still
very appealing to Republican voters. How do you
John C Dvorak: explain that? Well, there are two reasons. One
is ideological, that has to do with a certain kind of charisma
that he has. But the other is, in essence, Donald Trump has
been captured by a social movement, a social movement with
an ideology as well as social movement, which is called now
Christian nationalism. But Christian nationalism is more
than a zealous universe of of closed throughs. It is also an
Oregon Session. It's a structured organization. Oh,
here we go. It has its policy organizations like the Heritage
Foundation. It has this legal foundation like the Federalist
Society. It has its databases. It has a whole network of
angelical churches all across the United States with 1000s of
pastors who can who can
Adam Curry: radicalize
John C Dvorak: provide the who can give the propaganda who
could have Donald Trump, and who can mobilize the votes and get
them out to vote and
Adam Curry: unlike the Democrats, using black pastors
and reverence to do their bidding, but okay,
John C Dvorak: they tried to do fundraising, Donald Trump is
having problems with fundraising. Nevertheless, they
have an important fundraising machine. They can mobilize
voters, they can bring them to the
Adam Curry: polls. You know, the problem here, this this
professor, he has never heard of the Johnson Amendment, which is
in the IRS tax code. I'm very surprised this professor doesn't
realize President
John C Dvorak: jokes whenever reporters should call him out on
now, what kind of reporters do we have here? We all know about
this. I don't think many people know about the Johnson from the
pulpit, you cannot advise people how to vote
Adam Curry: no period, no, then you lose your tax exempt status.
Exactly. That's
John C Dvorak: right. And every reporter in the world should
know this. And they will pass
Adam Curry: every point or no. And every pastor, and every
church leader knows this.
John C Dvorak: Course. Yeah. They do get their IRS tax free
status, which is a major benefit to a church, it would have
pulled right out from under them instantly. So this is bull crap.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, there was a little by
John C Dvorak: the way, the Heritage Foundation has got
nothing to do. I think it has nothing to do with Christian
anything. No, I mean, there are probably a lot of Christians
there. Sure. But they're not a Christian nationalist front.
Adam Curry: And NPR just just can't give up. They just can't
give up on the IVF. They're really, really pushing the
John C Dvorak: row. By the way, when this technology first
appeared IVF IVF is tested, what would that refers to? And they
will say it no one has said it in any of the reporting. And if
you've seen vitro fertilization, no, they say that but they never
said this is test two babies.
Adam Curry: Oh, which is a great Wow, how can we should bring
that back?
John C Dvorak: Test two babies, and the test two babies this
technology to make test two babies 1959 This is nothing new.
They make it sound like some new technology that the right wing
tried to quash.
Adam Curry: Here's the NPR just go on Google gaga over justice
Parker,
Unknown: the Chief Justice in Alabama. His name is Tom Parker.
I mean, he's been pretty open about how his interpretation of
Christianity is important to his job as a judge. Right. But
right, I knew that in your reply. And you have found that
it goes way beyond that. Can you tell us how? Oh,
Adam Curry: well, yes, I
Unknown: can't wait. Sure. Yeah, you know, Christian theology is
very evident and justice Parker's work. You know, if you
read, for example, the concurring opinion on the IVF
ruling, it's notable to see that he quotes extensively from
sources like the book of Genesis, from the 10
commandments, and from Western Christian thinkers of centuries
ago, like Thomas Aquinas,
Adam Curry: Thomas Aquinas, no.
Unknown: Aquinas, you know, and that's a contrast to, for
example, citations from case study or legal precedent that,
you know, one might expect when looking at the legal reasoning
of a top judicial officer of
Adam Curry: a state. But that's not really what the problem is,
is it right, but you know, actually this she did a good
right there. Love it. Right. Right. Right, looking at
Unknown: the legal reasoning of a top judicial officer of a
state. Right. But you know, actually, this alone isn't what
is drawing attention. Ah,
Adam Curry: are you ready? Are you ready? How could this judge
have screwed up? What possible media faux pa could he have
made? That puts him so in the spotlight of NPR? Do
John C Dvorak: you have any idea? You use the N word? On
Unknown: the very same day that the ruling came out? Parker was
a guest on a podcast?
Adam Curry: Oh, no. He was on a podcast. Oh, boy. And
Unknown: his remarks there suggest that his theology veers
into what some experts consider Christian extremism. Whoa, wait,
what
do you mean by Christian extremism?
John C Dvorak: is so much anxiousness? What do you mean by
Christian extremism?
Adam Curry: Oh, hold on a second. This is very interesting
what you're saying
Unknown: here's into what some experts consider Christian
extremism.
We wait What do you mean by Christian?
Well, here's a clip of Parker from that program.
Adam Curry: Get ready for some extremism.
Unknown: God created good Government and the fact that we
have let it go into the possession of others. It's
heartbreaking for those of us who understand, and we know it
is for him. And that's why he is calling and equipping people to
step back into these mountains right now.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, this guy's an extremist.
John C Dvorak: I didn't call it against Catholic teachings that
Satan created governments but that's Is that true? Is that
debatable? Is that? Is that Catholic doctrine? I just made
it up. Well, it makes sense to me
Adam Curry: Well, I thought that our Declaration of Independence
is these are your inalienable rights given to us by God.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the rights are but the government wasn't.
That's why they had to write all these these rights to be written
out because the government's bad. Exactly.
Adam Curry: Oh, my goodness. I love NPR. Send your money. Get a
tote bag, everybody. That's why this we should be doing. Oh man.
Oh, man. Oh, man. These people just crazy.
John C Dvorak: Let's see, uh, you know, just want to change
gears real quick. And yeah, for just a short second. About the
Texas fire.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Unknown: The raging wildfire is rampaging across the Texas
panhandle, threatening homes, farms and businesses and forcing
residents to evacuate. The fire has also prompted the closure of
a plant that dismantles nuclear weapons entities. Cristina
Corona gives us an update on the Blace.
The wildfires began at approximately 2:20pm Monday
throughout northern Texas and scorched through 250,000 acres
in just 28 hours. It's becoming the second largest in the
state's history.
At this time. We have fire crews from all over the state
mobilizing for performance suppression and search and
recovery efforts. The process will likely takes several days
to complete stroke
said the information is limited due to some areas still being
affected by fire and some are not able to be accessed safely.
We have
had fire crews out for the last 48 hours plus I believe so many
of them don't sleep they're doing here in
Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster for
60 counties mobilizing state resources to support local
firefighters. The largest current Blaze is the smokehouse
Creek fire that has scorched more than 500,000 acres of land
the blaze spread from Texas into neighboring Roger Mills County
in western Oklahoma where officials encouraged people in
the area to fleet one Texas resident who had to evacuate
from one town to another multiple times said it went from
smoke billowing in
that was white to the sunshine coming through that looked like
we were engulfed in flames all around it looked like our town
was just being engulfed a
Adam Curry: little drop out there your back right
John C Dvorak: yeah
Adam Curry: let me talk about THIS IS MY slow
John C Dvorak: before you do I do want to play the second half
which is the good part about the A bombs because this was unknown
to me that up there in Texas in the Panhandle is we're holy a
bombs are made I had Did you know this?
Adam Curry: Yes. I didn't. You did? I did. Well, I don't know
about a bombs. You make you make it sound very Oppenheimer ish.
John C Dvorak: But yeah, so yeah, well open.
Adam Curry: Nuclear nuclear facility. Yes,
John C Dvorak: panto Can we play this? Yeah, here it is a Pantex
Unknown: plant near Amarillo evacuated non essential stuff
Tuesday night. The plan is the main us site for atomic bomb
assembly and disassembly, which completed its last new bomb in
1991 and has dismantled 1000s Since authorities have not said
what ignited the fires or how many homes have been destroyed,
but strong winds dry grass and in seasonably warm temperatures
fed the blazes.
Adam Curry: Okay. So first of all, I know a lot about this.
Texas limb is from there. He's up there now. He almost had to
evacuate his mom. It's it's not the worst fire they've ever had
is one of the worst for sure. The really just a lot of cattle
up there. So the really tough part is, well, people were able
to, you know, save a lot of cattle, but you got 600 cows and
no grass for them to eat. So people are desperately trying to
find places anywhere further south where they can let their
cows eat. So that's a real problem. Now, immediately, this
is always interesting. Two narratives pop up. One is HAARP.
Of course the government. Yeah, they're burning it down, you
know Abbott's doing this about the border.
John C Dvorak: These are HAARP Nowhere near the border no
Adam Curry: I know but it's you know, it's to distract from the
border or whatever. The second one is climate change. Of course
it's climate change is what happens with climate change. And
I do have a clip here of a typical Panhandle Texan. I tried
to filter it a little bit so you can hear what he says. If not, I
will. I will reiterate it in this report. Listen
Unknown: to this heading into the infernos. This was the scene
that greeted firefighters in Greenville as they responded to
the second biggest wildfire in Texas is history. An emergency
has been declared in 60 counties across the most northern part of
the state to towns have been evacuated, and many homes and
businesses destroyed. Texas has seen record high temperatures in
the past few days. And parts of the Panhandle are described as
abnormally dry. That combined with strong winds have resulted
in the ferocity of the blazes earlier the fastest spread
across the Texas border into the neighboring state of Oklahoma,
where there have also been evacuations were in
zone and Fars.
Adam Curry: Call it climate change. So I know it's hard to
hear. But this is a Texan. He says that they're saying it's
climate change. But I won't because I'm not woke what
happens every year.
Unknown: Every year, the biggest concern has been for the Pantex
plant, a nuclear weapons facility, which had to close
temporarily. However, it has now reopened for normal operations
and respite for all affected areas is on the way. Thursday's
forecast is for rain and even snow.
Adam Curry: No. Yeah, it went from we had 80 Almost 90 degrees
here two days ago. And this morning, it was 36.
John C Dvorak: You had to do but before you had that hot weather
it was 29. I
Adam Curry: know I have no it was it was that hard. It's hard
for climate change or something. It happens these this happens.
The ever since I've been in Texas in Austin, and we get bad
fires when it's dry. And then all of a sudden you get a little
bit of hot weather. You just need one and you have winds the
winds are real.
John C Dvorak: Let's nobody wants to talk about this. You
have people setting these fires for sure. Fire bugs out there.
And you also had creeps and terrorists, nut jobs and
disgruntled people on SSRIs. And who knows what else? Yes,
Adam Curry: yes. All right, I want to talk about the border a
little bit. I have a well, first, let's talk about the
reason for the border. Yes,
John C Dvorak: the reason for the borders, keep the country
separate. One country is on one side of the border and one's on
the desk. And
Adam Curry: the reason that we have people coming through the
border just Oh, stepping over the line and popping in is
because the financial elites in the United States know that we
need to grow in population. This is not the trend globally, the
trend is not growth. China is not growing. The EU is not
growing. The bankers have said to me verbatim we win as long as
we keep adding to our population. So keep the borders
wide open. That is that is the sole reason in my mind that
these things are open. And if you listen to what's happening
in New York, whereas we're here it is it what we
John C Dvorak: just say since you brought to the bankers and
by the way, we should note that the Democrat Party has become a
banker's party. Oh, yeah. Since Hillary Clinton, yes. And so
they do the bidding of the bank banks of the bankers and this is
the end this the Democrat Party doing it and they're the ones
responsible for this current overflow.
Adam Curry: The former New York banker who was a Democrat, told
me in no uncertain terms multiple times we win because
our population grows. How does it grow? Well, not to our
children because we're putting them on hormone blockers or
we're scaring them with climate change. It's growing because
we're letting good people across the border. And when New York
gets full, we just give them jobs. Sandra
Unknown: again, Mayor Adams is taking a look at the city's
sanctuary laws to address the migrant crisis. This time. He's
focused on crime and public safety and the city's ability to
collaborate with ice to address those issues. But speaking with
the City Council Speaker earlier today, she says it's a
nonstarter that jobs is the answer, not jail.
We are not considering laws, changes to laws. These laws have
been in effect for decades.
New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams Wednesday
standing behind the city's sanctuary laws saying they were
enacted for a reason to protect innocent immigrants who
historically have felt threatened because of their
status. Okay,
Adam Curry: so jobs just jobs. Hoko says jobs we're gonna get
them jobs. We're gonna get them jobs. They need jobs. They're
here Your sanctuary city will get them jobs. That's all just
gonna get them jobs. Europe has the same issue. The European
Union is in decline. The people are getting older, there's no
one to take care of the, you know, there's no younger
generation coming up. And by the way, they're all God about
abortion over there. The French just enshrined in their
constitution, the right to abortion. Here's the
international plan, parent, parenthood, foundation lady and
on France 24. Yes,
Unknown: the International Planned Parenthood is a global
service provider and an advocate for sexual rights
Adam Curry: services provider. I provide a service software as a
service we
Unknown: have we work in more than 145 countries. And here in
France, we have a member Association, they use color
printing feminine.
Now your reaction to that vote at the Senate. I mean, there
were people who thought perhaps the bill might get blocked by
the Senate, but not a bit of it. It went through by an
overwhelming majority. How do you respond to that? Yeah,
to be honest, at the beginning, we were scared because there
were a lot of pushback. But as you can see, by my smell, we
Adam Curry: will not listen, listen, listen to what she said.
Just stepping into that. Yeah,
Unknown: to be honest, at the beginning, we were scared
because there were a lot of pushback. But as you can see, by
my smile, we are delighted and what happened tonight is history
being made and they love
Adam Curry: it. We love it. Abortion is great, we're happy.
So their their their population is going down. Now let's look at
some other countries, Japan,
Unknown: there are no enough babies being born in Japan. For
the eighth year running births are at a record low and by the
largest margin ever 2023. So the number of births 5.1% to just
over three quarters of a million. The number of people
tying the knot was also down on the 490,000 got hitched. That's
a drop of 5.9%. This is the first time in 90 years marriages
fell below half a million and suggests the population may
continue to drop. As births out of wedlock are rare. In Japan,
the number of deaths is also contributing to the population
crisis. The number last year was a record 1.6 million. So
challenging co uk decline
of births is in the state of crisis within the next six years
up until the 2030s. When the population of the young
generation is expected to decline rapidly. It's a last
chance to see if the declining birth rate trend can be
reversed. And I believe we are at a time when we have to take
urgent measures.
Those measures include expanding child benefits and childcare
leave allowances, and to promote wage hikes for younger workers
to enable them to get married.
Adam Curry: So Japan is on the verge of extinction. And Justin
and they're only now saying oh, maybe we should do something
about it. We should just stimulate that. By the way.
Japan, completely Vaxxed nation, completely masked nation. The
elders are very important in the child rearing process. They take
care of the children during the day they live younger, younger
couples live with their with their parents, the grandparents
take care of the kids, they're dying. I have no idea why but
the old people are dying much quicker than they used to. And
by the way, those incentives don't always work. Let's check
in with South Korea,
Unknown: who was already the country with the world's lowest
birth rate, that South Korea's fertility rate has plunged to a
record low according to the country's official data, further
deepening its demographic crisis.
There were 230,000 births in 2023, a decrease of 7.7% from
the year before that the total fertility rates recorded during
a woman's reproductive life was zero point 72 down from zero
point 78 The previous year.
fertility rate of 0.72 is far below the 2.1 per woman needed
for South Korea to maintain a steady population, with the
country's 51 million population size on track to have by the end
of this century, puts pressure on health services due to an
aging population. New data defies the billions of dollars
in government schemes since 2006. To try and reverse the
longtime trend and persuade people to have more children
that South Koreans in their 20s and 30s point to soaring
property prices skyrocketing child rearing costs and career
advancement worries as factors that delay or halt they're
family planning
Adam Curry: 0.7 That country is going out of style there will
there will be no South Korea North Korea wins I guess. So
this is the real problem and we have in the United States are
talked about the EU in the United States we have the exact
same problem. Exact oh it's too expensive now is not the right
time. And fertility rates are down because we're eating soy
and plastic and chemicals and anything but but the hell is an
John C Dvorak: ester virgin? Yeah, analog
Adam Curry: frogs gay. It's bad. Well, that's
John C Dvorak: that's
Adam Curry: Atrazine. So all of this is bad, bad, bad. So this
is why your borders are open unless we unless we start
pumping like bunny rabbits and start making kids, it will not
stop because the financial elites of the world commanded so
and they and they own the politicians. So now let's talk
about what's coming across the border. The Chinese men of
military age is going to be an army they're going to kill us
from the inside is horrible. They're all spies. No, some may
be spies. And the guy who answered these questions was
John C Dvorak: little, by the way, most of the spies are
spying on the other on the Chinese, not us.
Adam Curry: miles you was the China adviser to Pompeo when
Pompeo was Secretary of State remember that during the Trump
administration? So he goes on C span. And I think he, he lays it
out really well, the main reasons why people from China
are coming into the United States,
Unknown: what's the cause of this huge influx? Okay, so
this is a, this is a crisis, storm. First of all, China's
economy is in big trouble. So the youth unemployment is really
huge. Somewhere around 21% to 45%. My estimate says, That
sounds like you're no agenda show. So and also, in the last
10 years on our CG beans rule. A lot of people feel very
repressed. So the number of people are fleeing China has
increased dramatically. In 2013, when she first came to power,
people from China applying for political asylum in the United
States was about 24 25,003 years later today, that number
quadrupled, to about 100,000. So there is a push factor inside
China. There's also the the pool factor that is United States is
by far the most generous country accepting immigrants. So of
course, there's also opportunity that is our border has been
porous, our politicians were basically, you know, in the
political paralysis state didn't know what to do. So that created
a lot of opportunities for the Chinese who want to get out of
China. And also don't forget, China is also a communist
country is a has a massive security and intelligence
apparatus. So this is opportunity for them to also to
explore this, this open border and to get the infiltration into
the United States. So it's really combination of
manufacturers and also the sort of Central American countries
most prominently Ecuador provide this. This sort of mechanism by
which that Chinese national could hop on a plane and, and
landed in Ecuador, with a free so from there, they make the
long journey to the southern border of the United States.
That's why there's such a surge in Chinese illegal border
crossings.
Adam Curry: So before I go to the next clip, two bits of news
from IO m dot i n t, the international office of
migration run by a former State Department. Creep, creep, IOM
and UNHCR welcome Ecuador's moved to regular lies, refugees
and migrants, strengthening national what
John C Dvorak: I was just gonna say we have to remember that
Ecuador has been captured. It was captured some time ago, when
they booted out the president duly elected and pushed them the
American sympathetic guy who also kept Assange from ever
going to Ecuador, where he wanted to escape to, and they're
just basically are puppets. And so whatever they're doing is
because of what we told them to do.
Adam Curry: And that is the international office of
migration from the United Nations. They are pushing
regular, regular, regular arised regular because it's not legal
or illegal. It's regular. It's regular, regular, so they, so
they are promoting this, it is our money. They are US money
going into that organization to promote this. But let's blame it
on tick tock. My
Unknown: understanding is there's like tick tock videos
out there about here's how you get to the US. Here's where you
can cross in there's a hole in this fence or this this barrier,
whatever.
So there's where there's a demand. There is obviously a
enterprise to explore this kind of with demand. So there is a
lot of middlemen that are organized such a massive exodus
from China. And so, the largest Chinatown, for example, It was
Adam Curry: hard to hear, but I want to repeat what he says the
largest Chinatown is not New York is not San Francisco. No,
it's in Ecuador,
Unknown: a massive exodus from China. And so the largest
Chinatown, for example, is not in New York, in London, not in
Toronto is in Quito, Ecuador, where a lot of Chinese nationals
are Landrover, that are visa free. And you have this a well
organized organization, some of the Chinese a lot of locals, and
to provide this kind of facilities, and it took to make
the journeys, very long journey, you have to land over there. And
they'll get out of Ecuador and crossed countries like Colombia,
and then Panama, and then Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras,
Guatemala, and New Mexico and they go to Arizona, Texas and
California and happen Uber chose this is basically a well
organized enterprise. So the this is one of the reasons why
it's a skos. A massive and the the this surge is continuing. So
it's very worrisome. Yeah.
Adam Curry: What he didn't mention is the lie that oh,
they're going through the Darien Gap. They're trudging through
the mud. No. They're hopping flights. It's organized. There's
charters, there's families, they got Chinatown. There's
organization. It's a pathway with the final bid being an Uber
to the border. Right outside California. Hop in. So the final
clip here, he does indeed say
John C Dvorak: this a good good catch. By the way,
Adam Curry: I was amazed when I saw this guy, I've actually told
Toller I think I found this for me. It's C span. He's our C span
guy. He's he's really watching all those Colin shows. And so
there is a level of CCP possibility of course. Because,
you know, we have CCP operatives, just like their CIA
operatives in Russia and China on I'm sorry, we killed that
China they got killed in China. But that's how it works. I mean,
every country has spies registered unregistered is just
a fact of life. The the irregular, the irregular
migrants does have a benefit to some CCP activity. Of course,
you
Unknown: said that the Chinese government would exploit the
situation to infiltrate the United States. Can you explain
what you mean by that?
Well, there's many legal ways or we have lots of immigration
flaws. Some of our immigration policies, particularly passport
issuing is just amazingly mad. Now listen to this. So if you're
a Chinese national, you're holding the challenge of
passport, but you qualify for some for become to become a
citizen of the United States, either through marriage or
through your own talent. And the you're entitled for a US
passport. And the US government with the issue of password
without asking whether you still have a Chinese passport or not.
So as a result, we have a lot of Chinese nationals who are
holding American passport, as well as a Chinese passport. So
that's basically one of the legal ways they could explore
this, this openness by the Chinese sort of malign factors,
intelligence and security apparatus. This one obviously,
is more lucrative for the Chinese because if you cross
border illegally, and the registration, they're tracing
mechanism, obviously illegally cross the Chinese nationals will
be far less effective. So it's much harder to track them. So
that's one reason why this is a very good opportunity for for
the Chinese state actors to exploit.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the last thing they're going to do is try and
kill us from the inside with the military aged men. And the
answer to all of this is make babies get married, start a
family, make babies. That's it. That's it. That's all we need to
do. It's the easiest thing in the world. We know how to do it.
Everyone knows how to do it.
John C Dvorak: It kind of been dissuaded by the educational
system of this country is just socialists who like the whole
country to be taken over by socialism.
Adam Curry: Maybe Marxism to be more specific, but yeah, yes,
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry, I shouldn't even use socialism
anymore. And we
Adam Curry: have the rainbow guard who makes sure that
everyone's on point. That's our version of Mao's Red Guard. We
have the rainbow guard here. Yeah, which is I was thinking
about all this work stuff. Yeah. This Do you remember? I think
that this started this really ramped up in 2015 was something
that we ignored for the longest time, which was GamerGate. I
really think that's where this started. Well, I
John C Dvorak: take it certain long before that. I'll
Adam Curry: agree I'll agree but it really I was lectured
John C Dvorak: at About politically correct. When I
first started when I first the editor at InfoWorld, in the
early 80s 1981, this this is a good story tell this story. And
I was told about the idea. Well, I had been I had mistakenly used
a word in an editorial. I was writing these editorials for the
magazine. Yes.
Adam Curry: What word was it? The word was deviant.
John C Dvorak: deviant, the word is deviant. The word was
deviant. And the word deviant was a trigger word in 1981. For
the Bucha, it was a trigger word. And it was a slur against
gays deviant. Yeah. Wow. And then, of all people who've been
she was a writer for 20 plus years, the New York Times John
Markoff gave me a lecture about politically correct language.
Wow. And and that's what the term was, was politically
correct. And I never heard this before. He says, Yeah, he's no
big deal. And he goes on and on about it. And I had made a
mistake by using this word. It was it had nothing to do with
sexuality or anything else. I use it in some other context.
But the content doesn't matter. Because you use the word. And so
I got, you know, your letters came in. I mean, I got no
letters from writing the column for PC magazine years later,
who's on first? Kind of mocking Chinese names? No problem.
Adam Curry: Hey, but did the gays lash out at you? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: They did. Yeah, that was my first experience
getting lashed out at now, if this was done in a modern
context I'd had been marginalized to to an extreme.
Luckily, I, you know, it never got any further than the use of
that one word one time in 1981. And then learning about
political correctness in 1981. Right, oh, this goes back. This
went on for a long time.
Adam Curry: I agree. I agree. But now we're talking nine years
ago. GamerGate gamified, the whole D platforming game. I
think that's really when all of that started. That
John C Dvorak: could be you know, I don't have a better
example than my obscure one D
Adam Curry: platforming is a game. It's like how far can I
push everything until I get cancelled? Or D platformed? Or
demonetised? Or whatever?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. demonetized. It was is it's
Christmas. It's a game. It's a game you first you get
demonetised and you get reprimanded, and you get the
platform, then you get kicked off, and then you get it one
thing after another. Yeah.
Adam Curry: According to the Daily wire, the Los Angeles
School District is a pipeline for the trans youth clinic. The
what the Los Angeles Unified School District is a pipeline
has a pipeline for it to the trans youth clinics. So
bypassing the parents for medical intervention,
John C Dvorak: sterilization, do you have to bypass the parents,
you're not going to get anywhere, which is where
Adam Curry: the rainbow guard comes in. This is exactly what
happened in in my lifetime in the Maoist China is exactly what
happened. And all those kids all looked to the androgynous and
they and they wound up killing their parents.
John C Dvorak: A lot of them giving their teachers killing
everybody. Yeah, it was a moment in time. That was quite
fascinating. It unless you were in China, unless you're in
China.
Adam Curry: Not all that fast. So
John C Dvorak: if we're out here looking at it, wow, these guys
are nuts. So now
Adam Curry: we gotta go to the AI, which has been severely
affected by this. In particular, Gemini, the latest rebrand of
Google barf. And now of course, we all saw it was pretty funny.
They actually let me play this. Matt Taibbi clip because he has
a good testimony about this
Unknown: last week Google's much ballyhooed new AI tool, Gemini
became a national punch line company engineers built an AI
that apparently couldn't or wouldn't draw white faces,
resulting in images like Pope Viking in 1943, German soldier
that were reimagined as preposterous ly inspired reboots
is Gemini about controversies involving various famous
politicians. I don't know how to answer that a kept saying, when
I asked the same question about myself, it sped out a long list
of episodes but articles with titles like the great California
Water heist, and Glenn Beck's war on comedy to describe racist
remarks. I apparently made an accusations of anti semitism
after I supposedly described Nestle executives as having
noses like giant penises, please, I thought none of this
ever happened. I never wrote any of those articles. They don't
exist, Google explained. Gemini is a creativity tool and may not
always be accurate. Just think Gemini shows the awesome
dystopian possibilities of AI. Forget the funny historical
errors it creates instant deep fake compromised about real
people like me and probably like You. So
Adam Curry: we have boots on the ground inside Google, I verified
this source as someone who could actually know and writes very
short. Hey, Adam, I work at Google and On Gemini, in case
you're wondering how Gemini produces black revolutionary war
generals and other diverse results, it's through a layer
that rewrites your query. If you write quote, show me pictures of
Vikings, it will be rewritten as quote, show me a diverse picture
of Vikings, including a black male in a wheelchair. He says
this is an actual example. I verified via internal tooling. I
believe this is happening a lot at Google. I think rewriting
queries happens a lot. And it wouldn't surprise me this is
exactly what went down.
Unknown: But why broke?
Adam Curry: Why why any of this? Why? Why?
John C Dvorak: I, it seems to me that you don't want to do this.
it cheapens the results. It ruins the product, it gives you
a bad reputation. There's nothing good comes out of it.
No, Google hasn't didn't benefit from this ridiculous nonsense at
all. Basically, I think they did hurt him. Of course
Adam Curry: it did. They had no business being in this business.
That just
John C Dvorak: we have to go back to the basics about Google.
They're a antisocial and a social nerd system. There are
people that don't even socialize amongst themselves. Yes. And
they don't you know, they couldn't do it with their
Facebook clone, they couldn't do it with their Twitter clone,
they can't do it. They always make these these these mistakes
of a person who is not a socialized individual. They're
they're not socialized properly there. There's just nature of
the of the of the beast, and there's no getting around it.
And this shows what happens when you give them free rein. So they
need they need adult supervision.
Adam Curry: Something struck me, we have there's an entire
generation, perhaps we're on our second generation. And they've
grown up on one thing search. And the goal is information.
It's not even good information. It's just that's the goal,
search, get a result. The whole that's the whole generation
search, search, Yelp, Search, Google, search, YouTube, Search,
Search, Search, search and just give me information. I think
this is a problem.
John C Dvorak: There's no solution to this problem that
you created, or you just that, you know, identified let's No,
no, no, I
Adam Curry: Well, no, I don't think so. I mean, they're,
they're, of course, they're really searching for connection,
but they're getting information. And that, you know, that's like
their that's it. Just search. I'll just search it. It's not
good. It's not good. We do it on the show. Yeah, but But you
know, we already made children. We're successful. We've, we've,
we've done our business. And let's see how else children are
being hurt in America schools. It's
Unknown: the latest incident of a new and insidious form of
bullying. A group of students at a Beverly Hills Middle School
creating deep fake pornographic images of their classmates
swapping the faces of their peers onto pictures of nude
bodies. I'm very disappointed. The school alerting parents
after the images were shared amongst students via text.
Beverly Hills police are now assisting in the investigation.
This is new unchartered territory when it comes to
information being created and disseminated.
There disturbing incident happening just weeks after fake
nude images of Taylor Swift appeared online District
Superintendent Michael braggy sees a connection
do believe that that played they do believe in our students
becoming aware of what's possible with the technology.
This technology
is easy to use and so easily accessible. They can get it
right on their phones instantaneously, create content
and then send it anywhere. Ai still so new, this all falls
into a legal gray area. Experts say it's still unclear if the
fake images are even child pornography. Why are there not
more legal protections to prevent this type of incident
from happening right now?
This is one of the situations where law is oftentimes chasing
after technology.
A federal bill aims to criminalize sharing sexually
explicit deep fake photos but it stalled in Congress. Yes, of
course.
Adam Curry: It's like this is new. It's like not even
John C Dvorak: close to being new. This is going on once Adobe
Photoshop was released in 1987. I might add these started to
happen and ever since I started with Microsoft Paint
Adam Curry: I know I made Some great images and Microsoft Paint
John C Dvorak: well you can do with any of these things GIMP
when it came out you could do it again. Get again Oh, the point
is is that you could do this but it was hard now you could just
do it with a prompt I mean yeah like now it's lazy man's version
make so and so you know. And by the way it's the Taylor Swift
stuff some of this stuff to Taylor Swift stuff is hilarious.
A lot of areas worth looking into.
Adam Curry: Mark Wagner says it's hilarious is think there's
another AI fake clip here from Good Morning America. My
Unknown: name is Carolyn mullet and I'm a ninth grader is called
High School
despite being the daughter of Washington State Senator Mark
mullet. This was Caroline's first time in front of her state
legislature. This
Adam Curry: is like babies getting thrown out of incubators
us style like bring your kid and make your kid that testify about
this we can pass a law
Unknown: at our homecoming dance last year a member of our class
took pictures of my female friends and then posted them
online using AI. Easy I show my friends faces but then filtered
their bodies to make them appear nude
Caroline's friends had become victims of deep fakes,
manipulated photos, videos or audio created using artificial
intelligence that appear real over the last year as AI has
become more accessible. Deep fakes have become more
prevalent, with targets ranging from political figures to
celebrities like Taylor Swift, to high schoolers. This week,
reports of students creating and sharing nude AI generated
pictures of other students at a Beverly Hills Middle School has
led to a police investigation.
So used to be you needed hundreds and 1000s of images.
Now you need a single image of somebody that's been about in
the last year, there is zero barrier to entry. Now, you don't
need skill. You don't need money. You don't need time and
you don't need effort.
And under the current Washington State law, if someone's images
used to make pornographic content without their consent,
there's no legal recourse. Which is why last month 15 year old
Caroline felt compelled to testify on behalf of her friends
to support a bill that will change that.
I'm just glad that now it might become a law. So it will ensure
that things like this won't happen again.
Adam Curry: I find this from a legal perspective. I find it
very interesting. Of course, I see the point with children and
minors, but in general, is this not literal free speech that is
being exercised? Here? I'm speaking a prompt. It is
creating a caricature. It is
John C Dvorak: not my it's not my fault. You know that you can
also say what isn't the company who produced the image? In other
words, some some system, some websites, something sent you the
image. They're the ones responsible now in the olden
days when I was a kid, if you go back to the 70s, you pornography
was generally illegal. It wasn't until Clinton came around it all
of a sudden the good old laws gotten relaxed. Yeah,
Adam Curry: they sure did.
John C Dvorak: But then, pornography used to be illegal.
Adam Curry: But I guess my point is, so what if they wanted to
put your head on the body of a dog? Or have a chimpanzee? Oh,
no, let's, if we put a black person's head on the body of a
chimpanzee. I mean, where does the law go? is only about nude
pictures? And it's obviously not not that person is just their
head. Just Taylor Swift have a case? I mean, what are we really
trying to do? I don't want to sound I'm trying not trying to
sound like a creek like, Oh, it's good to do this. But at a
certain certain point,
John C Dvorak: like fun kid.
Adam Curry: Where do you stop? I mean, where does it stop? How
far can this go?
John C Dvorak: And well, we're gonna find out during this next
election cycle.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you're right. You're right. And none of it's
good.
John C Dvorak: Because it's gonna be pretty gross. By the
time we get to, I'd say September, October. We're gonna
have a lot of this going on. We're gonna have some stuff that
is going to be hilarious.
Adam Curry: To say the least. Well, that you bring that up.
But yes, part two of this clip series.
Unknown: Now that bill in Washington state that Caroline
testified for is expected to be voted on later today on the
State Senate. If it passes, like it did unanimously in the house,
it will go to the governor to become law. But again, this is
one state and the internet is stateless. It's everywhere.
Exactly. I don't have to tell you where our election year
Yeah, so a lot of bad actors out there. How can you protect
yourself?
Well, it's scary and there really is no silver bullet
solution here. These companies have come together and said
they're going to work towards misinformation. But the bottom
line for a consumer of information every person who is
watching right now is that you really do have to be skeptical.
I often say buyer beware in my stories. And the reality is the
buyer has to be aware here too. You have to think about who is
the source? Where did this thing originate? How is it being used,
and be skeptical and seek out more information? If you see the
one image on someone's Facebook or Instagram or Twitter page,
look and see where else it's coming from?
How did it begin?
Oh, yes,
Adam Curry: this is good information. Thank you. It's
very helpful. I don't know man. We got we got parades where
everyone's dancing around naked. Looking like men looking like
women, women looking like men. It's all good. It's encouraged
is great. And then oh, we have someone prompted as horrible.
This information, calling, calling Dylan Mulvaney a woman
that's disinformation. There's your disinformation. Admiral
Levine. This information that's confusing to children.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, who am I? Yeah. As you'd like to put it,
you have the phrase dude in a dress.
Adam Curry: Do dress? Yes. There was one. There's a couple dev
two more fun stories. And this one, let me see. I think I have
Yes, the series from NBC that I think this really tells you
where we're at in our economy, with our our intake our food,
what we eat, what we're concerned about in life, and
this is the dynamic pricing at when
John C Dvorak: this by the way, this has become a baseline issue
for most news networks at this point. And it came up I was
watching some stuff this morning and they came up with I guess
Burger King is going to start dynamic pricing. This is to me
just before you play the clips This is least expected clips I
would predict I think dynamic pricing is a way to to make an
excuse for deflation
Adam Curry: thank you this exactly this is an economic
issue. I'm I'm thinking that these but
John C Dvorak: let me say this deflation is the world's is the
most dangerous word in finance. The
Adam Curry: most dangerous thing you can have super
John C Dvorak: dangerous.
Adam Curry: How dangerous super birthday super, super, super
super duper goes. Yes. Now I believe the the morning shows
are only talking about this because they're paid. These are
advertisements. It could be trial balloons for these
companies. But here's the story. The latest
Unknown: Baconator isn't the only new item hitting Wendy's
menu, the fast food giant planning to test out dynamic
pricing as early as 2025. It's a practice that charges different
prices for the same items based on demand throughout the day.
For example, a cheeseburger and fries could cost you more during
the lunch rush than during a down period.
I wouldn't ever expect that a fast food restaurant to do this
on
a call with investors. Wendy's CEO Kirk Tanner says his company
will invest $20 million on digital menu boards, allowing
customers to see the updated prices
beginning as early as 2025 we will begin testing more enhanced
features like dynamic pricing and Daypart offering along with
AI enabled menu changes and suggested selling
Adam Curry: is this just an AI play? Is this his this Wendy's
like hey man, let's get our stock up. I know, let's tell him
we're gonna use AI for dynamic pricing. Juniors the boss is
great
Unknown: changes and suggested selling
fast food restaurants already dealing with blowback on soaring
prices from their customers as stories of $18 Big Macs and $7
Egg McMuffins at McDonald's went viral. Now adding dynamic
pricing to the mix could potentially be damaging to the
industry.
I don't think anyone's gonna pay extra for the exact same thing
that they were getting for less.
In fact, one survey finding 36% of consumers would order less
often from restaurants adopting the practice, we'll have to be
really careful about not angering consumers who are
already kind of inflation weary.
That's actually what's made the industry very sort of hesitant
to dive fully in. There are definite risks involved. And
they really don't want to anger customers.
Adam Curry: So, the news program and models make an argument that
our life is already filled with dynamic pricing.
Unknown: But these fluctuating prices are nothing new to
inflation fatigued consumers who are used to seeing surging
prices on everything from airlines to concert tickets,
like Taylor Swift eras, tour ticket master drama,
Adam Curry: there's always
Unknown: been $899 per ticket, dynamic craziness, the word and
right Shares like Lyft and Uber notoriously faced backlash from
consumers when riders see unexpected costs using
Ubers. Like eight $10. Tonight, it was like 50 Some of them
books. A little did I know about surge price.
But experts say this is a rare move from the fast food
industry, which has been hesitant to sink its teeth into
varying prices. This would be a big deal for restaurants. If
this was widely adopted, it's
really going to depend on how customers react, even customers
are okay with it, you'll see more of it. And if Wendy's test
doesn't work, for whatever reason, you might not see it
that often. Now
Adam Curry: before I play the last clip, explain why deflation
is superduper bad.
John C Dvorak: The problem with deflation is that it it it kills
a demand because what happens is people who always the prices are
going down I'll wait until it gets down lower I'm gonna make
an a bite out by tomorrow. So is a deflationary system creates a
such a slowdown in demand that it ruins economies. And so you
don't want any deflation whatsoever. Now with these
restaurants, I think they can beat this this negative
publicity because Uber and these other operations which have this
ballooning prices by setting a top limit because what they want
to do is bring prices down. Yeah, right. And so what you do
is you just said, No, the max will always be this will this
will be which is the normal price will be the max and and
the not the same as Uber surge price you're waiting prices will
go down, not up ever. And if they get that message across,
which they're not doing with these reports, but if they get
that message across, then they can do what they want to do,
which is lower prices. Now I should mention that in some
cities, San Francisco being one of them, they have this
fluctuating prices on parking meters. Now the parking meters
around me VO for example, when we were there, yeah, they would
go up and down. Depending on whether or not there was a
Giants game, which was walking distance from the office, right?
I remember. So if there was a Giants game, it would go from,
you know, like 25 cents for a half hour to like 25 cents for
five minutes. And you had to pump in about six bucks where
the coins to park. And this is this mechanism is, is
everywhere. So
Adam Curry: here's a thought for the lunch crowd for the lunch
crowd. How about brown bag? Can we bring the brown bag back? How
about a PB and J you brought from home and that's what we
used to do. People said
Unknown: we reached out to Wendy is telling us in a statement
overnight this dynamic pricing can allow Wendy's to be
competitive and flexible with pricing, motivate customers to
visit and provide them with the food they love at a great value.
I mean, it feels like we're constantly being taken advantage
of as customers. Is it reasonable to believe that if
Windows does this, that everyone else will follow suit?
It's a test that begins in 2025. We asked the other chains we
asked Burger King we asked him McDonald's they didn't respond
but KFC said it has no no plans at this time to try a dynamic
pricing on its menu. The fast food industry has been reticent
to do this in the past. But we'll see if these new menu
boards dynamic menu look if the if the burgers cheaper later in
the day that might entice me to be honest,
no, but if you work a shift and your lunch hours between 12 and
one and you just have time to go grab a burger and that's the
time that they're the price the highest. Yeah, that would just
be incredibly frustrating. busier,
so it's slower and yes, more.
I don't think of fast food like an airline ticket. I don't Yeah,
that's the same kind of model. You're welcome. I am your
outrage. As Craig said,
John C Dvorak: Oh my God, what a bunch of wind bags.
Adam Curry: As blitz points out in the troll room. Both brown
bags and PB and J have been declared racist by the Marxist.
So I apologize for my deviant behavior. Like, there we go. Oh,
my goodness. Yeah, that's where we're at just where we're at is
where we're at. Alright, I'm sorry. I was gonna do one more
just that not off. Not much discussed story. And then I'll
let it go. How's that sound?
John C Dvorak: Okay, I only have three Biden, Hunter Biden clips
to keep us up.
Adam Curry: Alright, so this is the stories we talked about. On
the last show. It's finally getting a little bit of a press
attention, because people can't get their SSRIs and they're
Adderall and Vyvanse. And Lord knows what else. But but there
is.
John C Dvorak: What is Vyvanse it's I've never heard of it
until recently. Well,
Adam Curry: Vyvanse is the same compound. Oh, what are we
drinking? Are you drinking?
John C Dvorak: Pure the qua qua Yeah, you're lactose. wha wha,
Unknown: wha? You're
Adam Curry: okay, so that's just mineral water basically, fancy
mineral water tap water Come on. Yes. So Vyvanse is the same kind
of the same compound as Adderall. Only it is, is delayed
release. No, please. It lasts longer for extra flavor. So
here's the story. And then there's a sub context which is
not being discussed or learning more
Unknown: about a cyberattack on a major health insurance
company. It's causing big delays and frustrations for many
Americans trying to get their prescription drugs. Here's ABC
is Lanham Luis. This
morning, nearly one week after a cyber attack hit the nation's
largest health insurer. 1000s of pharmacies are still facing
disruptions, fulfilling prescription drug orders, and
you
potentially get into life and death scenarios where patients
can't gain health care or in this case, patients can gain
access to prescription medication,
the attack crippled change health care's digital network
which is a part of United Healthcare. The company says it
took immediate action to prevent further impact pharmacies use
changes network to verify insurance coverage.
And if you have a very expensive medication, you might be stuck
in a position where you have to pay cash in order to get it at
least temporarily. Times
are hard these days and something like that. I mean, I'm
sure that would impact a family, but neutral reports that could
be blamed for the cyber attack. But Reuters now reports the
infamous ransomware gang, black cat may be responsible. Why are
they so concerning? So Blackhat
is the same organization that took down MGM and Caesars
Entertainment that was very damaging to those organizations.
Cyber criminals are increasingly targeting healthcare systems.
Earlier this month, a cyber attack on a Chicago hospital
shut down phones and computers with this latest attack of
pharmacy near Pittsburgh is using the honor system, giving
patients their meds now and billing insurance later. It's
also risky. Is your going to process a claim? And are you
whenever the insurance is back up and running? Are we actually
going to get paid what we should get paid for that prescription.
Large
pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVs are reporting only a
limited impact from this attack, but it's the smaller pharmacies
that have been most affected. Many have switched to paper
processing, which is causing delays and backlogs.
Adam Curry: So this is not good. Now, what is not discussed is,
and it's unclear if this is Black Cat or locked bit. But one
of this, of course, will be the Russians. Now obviously, they
say that they have a whole bunch of interesting documents
relating to the Donald Trump trial that they're going to
release if the ransom is not paid. This is not discussed very
much. Even though Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs wrote
a blog post about it. He is not published it in the Washington
Post at this hour, who
John C Dvorak: was the indication that these documents
revealed
Adam Curry: the stolen document? According to Brian Krebs, WaPo,
reporter on his blog, February 24, letter, the stolen documents
contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump's court
cases that could affect the upcoming US election.
Unknown: Ooh.
Adam Curry: So we'll see. But there's not a lot of reporting
on that.
John C Dvorak: Well, that means it must be something good Biden,
it
Adam Curry: must be good is what it means.
John C Dvorak: I mean, it's probably like direct
correspondence between the Justice Department Biden Biden
White House, some of these court cases, and they've got the
documents to prove that they were in collusion, collusion,
collusion, exactly, because otherwise this would be what you
This is example of why we have to do a podcast like this. What
you pointed out is the mainstream media will not report
on anything that is favorable to Donald Trump. No. Why would you
know they don't want him even though it's so good, they make
money. But it's not about the money. It's about the socialism.
Yes.
Adam Curry: What is it about socialism? That's right. Okay,
let's do your Biden clips so we can
John C Dvorak: just use the catches up with a Hunter Biden.
is suppose it deposition testimony and was good or bad.
Here we go. Hunter Biden news. This is NTD.
Unknown: Today after months of anticipation, Hunter Biden
appeared before Congress to testify in the impeachment
inquiry into President Biden. Our Washington correspondent
Luis Martinez joins us live now with more on the probe. Good
evening, Tiffany. Yes, another big day in Capitol Hill. Today
this more And around 10am Hunter Biden appeared the oatmeal House
Office Building to testify before the House Oversight
Committee. That deposition is part of the impeachment inquiry
against President Biden. Let's remember that House Republicans
are accusing the president of using his political influence to
enrich his family members. It's important to note Tiffany that
Hunter Biden was originally scheduled to be deposed on the
13th of December of last year. But on that day, Hunter Biden
instead of showing up to his scheduled interview with the
House Oversight Committee, he took to the steps of Capitol
Hill to make a political statement defending his father
demanding a public hearing, and also vowing never to participate
in a closed doors deposition, which of course he did today for
over 7x seven hours. What changed was that the House
Oversight Committee passed a resolution holding in contempt
Hunter Biden and before that resolution could get to the
floor of the house. Hunter Biden's lawyers reached out to
the Oversight Committee to schedule today's interview. Now
we spoke with Hunter Biden got around the behind closed doors
interview by releasing beforehand before entering into
the interview his opening remarks in his opening remarks.
Hunter biting defenses father once again refutes any
allegations that he had to do anything with his business
dealings, and he also attacked the Republican Party and I read
a quote from his opening remarks. You do not have
evidence to support the baseless and mega motivated conspiracies
about my father, because there isn't any. I like
Adam Curry: Maga motivated. Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: love mega motivated.
Adam Curry: No like it has nothing like alliteration to
punch the punch your point home. Mag mag motivated, yes.
John C Dvorak: Part Two Congressman
Unknown: James Coomer, the chairman of the House Oversight
Committee, who's leading the Impeachment Inquiry had
something very different to say about the amount of evidence
they have against President Biden. Let's listen to what
James Comer chairman of the House Oversight Committee had to
say.
Our committees have unearthed substantial evidence of
President Biden and his family's corruption. The Biden's created
20 shell companies. Now
Democrats have alleged along the process that the entire
impeachment inquiry is political Sham. Now this colts have also
revamped since Alexander Smirnoff longtime FBI informant
was indicted earlier. The
Adam Curry: guy's name is Alexander Smirnoff.
John C Dvorak: Seriously? Yeah. Why?
Adam Curry: He's like, he's like he's a he's a Russian. He's a
Russian spy. And his name is Smirnoff. clickup like a vodka.
Yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: a vodka guy.
Adam Curry: This is cartoon world. Ma'am.
Unknown: Alexander Smirnoff longtime FBI informant was
indicted earlier this month for lying to the FBI about
information he provided regarding Hunter Biden and Joe
Biden's business dealings. Now I spoke with Congressman Democrat
Congressman Greg Gazzara. From Texas, a freshman on the
oversight Marxist COC and media and yet some very strong words
against Republicans who insist on the impeachment inquiry even
after Alexander Smirnoff was indicted. Let's listen to what
Congressman Greg Kasara had to say. I
think almost any American would say just stop embarrassing
yourself. Stop shaming yourself this way, and they just seem to
be gluttons for punishment. They're back at it again. And I
think they're just gonna embarrass themselves again
today.
Adam Curry: Oh, this guy he was on the city council in Austin.
He's like a like a Soros sister.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: She's no good No,
John C Dvorak: no all of these Democrats and they go on and on
about one thing that I wish I knew worked out I don't have the
clips about the mole calling this Russian hoax but the smear
now thing they're banking on that keeping
Adam Curry: clean nails right I mean, it's great. It's Russian
disinformation Smirnoff What more do you want to snap this is
they got it locked?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, they definitely I will tell you this
the Republicans are weenies when it comes to getting this thing
close. I mean, when it was when Nancy Pelosi was running the
show she said okay, impeachment will start tomorrow, bro. Right
go right to impeachment and let's get Trump because he
because he showed up at a meeting. Anything you could do
is was much dis comer guys useless. But let's go to clip
three. I
Unknown: also spoke with Congresswoman Nancy mace from
South Carolina, and she herself had very strong words to say to
her counterparts and Democrats line of argument that looks or
seeks to disqualify Alexandre Smirnoff and diamond. Let's
listen to what Congresswoman Nancy Mays had to say.
Of course, because we all know what the FBI said about this
witness. They said that this witness was trustworthy and
credible. They paid this witness six figures so is the FBI that
incompetent does pay this guy hundreds of 1000s of dollars for
him not to be credible for him not To be trustworthy. Just a
few minutes ago I spoke also with Congressman Pat Phelan from
Texas Republican in the House Oversight Committee. He was
there in the deposition with Hunter Biden. He spent the
entire seven hours of deposition in the in the room with the rest
of the Oversight Committee and this is what Pat Fallon
congressman from Texas had to say.
He said Jim Biden gave his dad $200,000 as a loan repayment
okay, then why isn't your father simply produced the original
check or wire that he sent to his brother? Yes, go I don't
think it ever existed, but it's things like that. So I think the
natural progression will be a public hearing and then we'll go
from there. Boy,
John C Dvorak: they're gonna go nowhere. This these guys are
these Republicans are just, they're full of it themselves.
Yeah. But they may you know, they're going to try to I don't
know what they're even trying to accomplish.
Adam Curry: I mean, I now I understand why people are more
interested in dynamic pricing a Windies. I mean, this is this is
not a good
John C Dvorak: show. No, it's not working out. And
Adam Curry: with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage
say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in luck, why
not your route ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my
friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John

like oh, yes, Darren sure guy. If you like Bowie, Darren. The
John C Dvorak: old Billy Idol stuff. Yeah. Decades,
Adam Curry: like Weird Al Yankovic Derringer guy. Yeah,
but it's a lot of fun. There really is or you can listen to
modern podcasts that I'm gonna promote a one app every single
show cuz there's a lot is now 16 or 17 of them. These are all
independent apps done by usually one or two guys on a team. It's
important that you support them by using their apps. They're the
apps are free. I think you can get some extra features for some
of them but it keeps podcasting free it keeps idiots like
Spotify away from podcasts and keep it free and open. So
fountain is the app I'm promoting on definitely yeah,
it's a good one fountain is a very good episode. They just
started like a music radio station in there too. It's all
kinds of good stuff. Now back to the value for value. You can
support us in many different ways. Treasure is a big one. And
we do need the treasure of time talent and treasure but time and
talent count as well. You can organize a meet up you can hit
somebody in the mouth you can promote us. You could just so
many things that you can do is be a boots on the ground in this
clip. Make some art. There you go. The artists deliver such
incredible All value to this podcast is an example for
episode 1637. We titled that one lie DAR. Thanks everybody for
explaining what Lidar is. I think we kind of know what it's
like. You don't understand LIDAR. It's like radio. Right?
Radar, but with a light with laser. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: you got the frequency has got more
granularity and somebody went on and on. I said, What? How much
granularity? How much detail do you need when he's just talking
about the dirt? You know, you're trying to hit hit, you're trying
to hit your mind a hit the ground? You know, you don't have
you don't need within you know, this, you know, millimeters.
Well, my daughter still fell over Mr. Rock.
Adam Curry: Lidar is what's killing everybody in those self
driving cars. You know, it's great to get
John C Dvorak: and also it's blinding. You know, does that
mission ever look at this slide. It's not
Adam Curry: mine. It's for red. You don't see it? Yeah, guys, we
want to thank Francisco Scaramanga who is on a roll, his
wife still doesn't understand what this value for value thing
is, because he gets paid nothing. He just gives us back
the value and loves it. He loves the show and gives us back value
by creating dynamite artwork. He really is on a roll and hitting
it and this was so good. This was an astronaut apparently on
the moon with a golf club, which is remember, our US astronauts
were on the moon driving the dune buggy around the
John C Dvorak: lunar right and they had a golf club hitting
golf, golf balls and 71 bouncing
Adam Curry: up and down and now we can't even land the thing
upright. And the golf club is trying to kill some alien some
pink alien that's rolling around. It was great. It's
really a funny piece. Let me see what else we have. Let's go to
no agenda art. generated.com another great piece of value Sir
Paul couture has made made for us and for for the program.
Let's see.
John C Dvorak: I use the moon tripping from dirty Jersey
horror for the news
Adam Curry: very now that came in late. I don't think we saw
that one when we when we were picking the art.
John C Dvorak: I don't think so either. But I used it anyway
because it would have been
Adam Curry: a disgust piece is hilarious. But it was very, very
good. Other pieces were let's see toxic Trump, which was
sorry, right. That was Parker Paulie. Blacknight Parker Polly.
Which was that the patented Trump hair swoosh. We did talk
for a bit about Dame Kenny Benz was we in fact, we said we were
discussed this as a runner up
John C Dvorak: with the we're all right. I really liked that
you liked this piece a lot. Yeah. The you
Adam Curry: were all gonna die a guy with the SOS phone and his
hairs on, you know, freaking out. Yes, it was a nice piece.
John C Dvorak: It was a good piece. Yeah, it was definitely a
good piece. It could have been picked. If the other piece
didn't exist. Yes.
Adam Curry: I think both of them might have lost to the dirty
Jersey horror. That was That's a funny piece. And
John C Dvorak: maybe he
Adam Curry: should have gotten that in earlier. I don't know.
That's too bad. Thank you all very much artists. And of
course, thank you, Francisco skata manga. We'll see what
everyone has in store for us today. I can already see there's
about 12 submissions you can follow along at no agenda art
generator.com. Or in that fountain app I was talking about
you can find it your app store your Google Play Store. We have
chapters which Dred Scott makes for every single show and he
puts all the artwork in there as much as he can use. He'll put in
there and you'll see that rotating if you're driving in
your car, you got Android Auto or CarPlay it'll swap right
there on your screen. It's kind of fun. Now let us think some of
the people who brought us the treasure for episode 1638 And we

demolition of our global economy. Is sentence structures
hard to read. My commute has significantly increased recently
and I've rediscovered the medium of podcasts. After a bit of a
hiatus I must shout out to the Tom Woods show for my early
education of libertarian in the libertarianism and contrarian
ism over a decade ago. But if I had been listening to your show
back in early COVID times I would have been much more
confident and explain to my bra bought in France exactly how
they were being hypnotized by the M five n m. And why I was
show so skeptical of the nonsense they were rolling out
in 2020 and beyond are extremely long sentence. I'll wrap up

it's got it stands out. Wow. It's cute. Very cute. Cool. She
says I immediately thought of John not because I'd like him to

usually puts vintage Valentine's Day in the newsletter. I also
thought it was assigned to donate again and close my check.

important. And I spent a fair amount of money on all three
