John C Dvorak: reboot the router. Adam curry
Adam Curry: Jhansi Devora March 14 2024 This is your award
winning give our nation media assassination episode 1642 This
is no agenda in tic tac trouble and broadcasting live from the
heart of the country here And reason number six in the morning
everybody. I'm Adam curry.
John C Dvorak: If another Silicon Valley where we're
tracking the SpaceX rocket and Justin Devorah
Adam Curry: kill we're not tracking the SpaceX rockets
you're like Gene sir gene he always texts me like it
launched. But
John C Dvorak: you know, it's being being launched from Texas
you should be right on top of this.
Adam Curry: Well, no, I'm not if that's what I have gene for that
gene takes care of that stuff. You love
John C Dvorak: rocket. I have a ask Adam right off the bat. Oh,
Adam Curry: my goodness. Okay, all right. Ready? It's just
coincidence that I had it ready. I know. Is it crazy? All right.
What is it these Space X big question is that is that the end
of it?
John C Dvorak: Here's the premise. So they're live
streaming the Space X launch of this big giant rocket is
supposed to go to Mars with
Adam Curry: 33 After burning nitro burning funny cars.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, head on. Yeah. And so during the prelim
they're yakking away about this and that so they start talking
about the different tests that typically blew up and
Adam Curry: now is this thing going to the moon or is it just
going to float around for now
John C Dvorak: this is going to know this one's just gonna go
around the earth and then crash into the ground Oh, groovy.
Adam Curry: Why doesn't land on the pad like it always does?
Like
John C Dvorak: no, they actually they the booster in this case,
it didn't it didn't light up right? And it wasn't gonna land
on the pad anyway. They they're just throwing stuff away. So
okay, yes, this is part of the prelim. They go into discussion
about the last rocket launch the second version of this thing,
and it ends with a very interesting little. It just I
just begs for an ask Adam. Before
Unknown: we dive into the details of today's test, let's
recap the achievements of our last integrated flight test
flight to all 33 Raptor engines on the super heavy booster
started up successfully and for the first time completed a full
duration burn during ascent. As you can see here, we saw amazing
views of each raptor engine burning during that ascent,
which is something awesome because we don't get to see that
with Falcon and its Merlin engines.
Now next starship executed a successful hot stage separation
powering down all but three of super heavies raptor engines,
and successfully igniting the six second stage raptor engines
before the vehicle separated. This is the first time this
technique has been done successfully with a vehicle of
this size and scale.
Following separation. The super heavy boosters successfully
performed its flipped maneuver and initiated the boost back
burn. However, about 30 seconds into that burn it experienced a
rapid unscheduled disassembly or read that's basic speed for
a rut.
Adam Curry: Rapid unscheduled disassembly, everybody. Okay,
what's the ask Adam I'm good at this.
John C Dvorak: Just Did you hear the very last ending?
Adam Curry: The Rudd
John C Dvorak: No, they're the very last anywhere she says
something Oh, hold on.
Unknown: Let me listening let's schedule this assembly or rut
that SpaceX speak for.
Adam Curry: Oh that's SpaceX speak for
John C Dvorak: Okay, that's space x now we know Musk is a
truth teller and all the rest so so I'm asking you what is going
to be their space X speak is it going to be for it exploded? It
blowed up. What? Give you have a what do you think that that
because you know, Musk is a straight talker. So what do you
think that she's gonna say next?
Adam Curry: Well, it's clearly not going to be blowed up or
explosion because that wouldn't be SpaceX peak, which is a show
title if I ever heard was SpaceX speak, I'd say failure.
John C Dvorak: You don't have the creativity of SpaceX. You'll
never work there. Okay.
Unknown: Here's the answer unscheduled disassembly or rut
that SpaceX speak for an exciting end to the boosters
journey.
John C Dvorak: Exciting and to the boosters journey.
Adam Curry: Hey, baby, I'm gonna read you tonight. That's my Adam
speak for an exciting end to an Adam journey. I'm surprised I
thought that you would certainly bring us up to date on the grand
sumo highlights
John C Dvorak: just started.
Adam Curry: I know. I mean, we've had three days four days
or anything Who's Who's In Who's on First?
John C Dvorak: Who's about five or six guys tied it does it all
start to shake out first more few more days?
Adam Curry: I'm always excited when when you mean you do that
stuff you give you a little more grand sumo update.
John C Dvorak: Now these terreno, Fujian, some of the
other. Yokozuna is in place. Let's see one, the last one. The
guys won nine tournaments so far. If
Adam Curry: Yokozuna, was in play, I'm glued to it. Huh?
Yeah. Happy, happy Pi Day.
John C Dvorak: Happy Friday, everybody. Yes.
Adam Curry: We missed national nap day somehow. Which is very
natural.
John C Dvorak: Never been a big have not done as well. We had
nap for humanity. We had a jingle. We had pictures of it.
We had Michael Butler's daughter sleeping. Oh,
Adam Curry: crap. My whole system broke
John C Dvorak: it. We couldn't get a nickel out of it. But
well, we
Adam Curry: could have I mean, how did we do with nap for
human? I mean, with the Pi Day people, people always used to
alert us in droves about Pi Day. Oh, pi days coming up. Oh, it
was
John C Dvorak: mediocre. Mm hmm. And we didn't. It wasn't a flop
like Valentine's Day.
Adam Curry: Well, that's because there's no more love in the
world. There was
John C Dvorak: during the COVID era, Valentine's Day was a big
hit. Now there's now that that's over, we got to have some you
know, more disease. I think to get these get our donations up.
Adam Curry: Oh, there it is. Why do we need a new pandemic to get
those donations? Flu? Well, you sent me that article that the
penguins now have the bird flu. I thought that was novel. I like
that. Penguins.
John C Dvorak: Bird Flu says they can't fly and it doesn't
make sense. Anyway,
Adam Curry: something amazing happened this morning. I was I
was monitoring the networks. I was monitoring Andrea Mitchell,
because she you know even though she she can barely she can't
speak anymore. She's always messing everything up. It's
really odd. 96 is unfair. But you know, she they should just
have her do different types of shows when it when it's breaking
news. I mean, she she's not really good at it anymore. She
never
John C Dvorak: was she's always been a commentator.
Adam Curry: And so right on the heels. This was this was really
quite surprising. right on the heels of the Jews controlling
the media. Now now now this worked boys now. Now the Zionist
Jews have who control the American who control the
American government have decided to cool themselves.
Unknown: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer today became the
highest ranking Democratic politician to call for the
resignation of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for
his opposition to a Palestinian state, and for the overall
situation for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Five months into this conflict, it is clear that Israelis need
to take stock of the situation and ask, must we change course.
At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the
only way to allow for a healthy and open decision making process
about the future of Israel. At a time when so many Israelis have
lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their
government. That's some power right there.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm gonna play
John C Dvorak: it again and substitute the word Ukraine.
Adam Curry: Yeah, Ukraine is this is dynamite. I actually
chopped up that video that you posted this morning. I think I
think we should just play it. This there was a two camera.
John C Dvorak: Scalia. Yeah, camera. unknown reason. Two
cameras shoot, as McCrone taking a call from Zelinsky in the
early days, phases of the war. No, this is now. This now this
is now Oh, it sounds like it sounds like the early stage. No,
Adam Curry: I think this is now you're telling me this thing
now? Well, not now. You've got me confused. I was getting this
as a new occurrence.
John C Dvorak: I mean, I think they were promotion promotion
promotion. They were they were pushing or promoting promotion
promotion. The the notion that this has just happened. The
whole thing is the whole thing seems super staged to me because
of the two cameras shoot. There's no reason to do that.
But I have two cameras in the guy's office, and they're doing
it and they got to what? Floor Director floor guy pointing at
each camera. What's up went on in there. But
Adam Curry: the big thing? Well, I think it's current job because
they're talking about negotiating. Did you watch the
whole thing
John C Dvorak: I did. Okay, play it, play it, play it. So you
know that they see this.
Adam Curry: And then started with a little bit of music and
then the music one who I chopped out all the silences because
they left these long like the acting coach and said, don't
rush your lines, take it easy. Take a beat. Take a beat or two
or three, and then deliver your next line rageous
Unknown: 10. leaves the earth and we are in key. So
Adam Curry: he's saying there in Kyiv? Do you think this is I'm
now now I'm questioning it? If it's if it's old? Because I
don't like being hoax like that? Do you think you'd think that
this is old? Well,
John C Dvorak: they're in Kyiv. The only time that the Russians
were floating around key was at the very beginning of the war.
They were never in Kyiv? Well, maybe there were a few tanks or
something that ran through thinking they were gonna get,
you know, some Magento poses that I'm not sure. But they're
not in Kyiv. At the moment,
Adam Curry: I don't want to play at them. I mean, because it's
not all that great quality.
John C Dvorak: Now the quality sucks, just. So
Adam Curry: the end isn't is the is the money shot here.
Unknown: And what I want to say just the word as people will
will ask you where you're ready to go. You're ready to sit down
around the table and start negotiating.
Adam Curry: So I mean, I've never heard this clip before.
Are you ready to sit down around the table and start negotiating,
Unknown: you're ready to sit down around?
John C Dvorak: Okay, that does make it sound more contemporary,
because there's going to be some meetings in Switzerland that
Russia refuses to attend because they those meetings are going to
be around Zelensky proposal for a piece. Well, let's
Adam Curry: let's listen to this last 30 seconds of this little
skit they did.
Unknown: You're ready to sit down around the table and start
negotiating. Of
course, we have to, of course we have to.
Okay. As soon as they have the feedback from the side, I will
do it and anatomy that we revert to you and once we can do I mean
for sure. Very few things on on the Russian side. But let me let
me see with my people. What didn't make sense to have on
this issue. Thank you.
Adam Curry: The whole video is worth watching with the
subtitles a little easier to follow. But I'd never heard that
as a subtitle where he says, Well, you gotta get ready to sit
down around the negotiating table. Well, of course he says,
nah, that can't that has to be now at or as you say, there
John C Dvorak: has to be now but I don't. When does he ever?
Yeah, because he's always said now. It's all of a sudden he's
saying yeah,
Adam Curry: by the way, everyone listening within the sound of my
voice. What did the algo tell you to worry about today? Hmm. I
don't know about you. But everybody in the neighborhood
seems to be really hard on this really big story. It's about
micron. You better sit down No, pull over wake the
Unknown: kids the biggest political scandal ever, ever.
And no, I am not being dramatic. If what is happening right now
France is real. And I can tell you right now, I firmly believe
that it is.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is Candace Owens, we have to take
John C Dvorak: her word. I'm actually I didn't have any plans
for this. Well, I thought it might be worth talking about in
passing. But since you have the clip, yes. We have to get it
now. This is read
Adam Curry: only the setup. So I don't have a short clip. I'm not
going to not going to drag it out. The fact that Candice Owens
did a 45 minute podcast about this. That was in conjunction
with either I think that this story has been okay. A couple of
things that
John C Dvorak: could well, now you want to tell people we're
talking. Now
Adam Curry: let's listen to her. No, no, we'll listen to it. It's
funny. It stands by itself and then we'll dissect what was
going on. Yes,
Unknown: then barring political assassinations. This is
potentially the biggest political scandal that has ever
happened in the history of the world. Sure. I mean, it's so
important that I'm not just going to ask you guys to watch
this but to also share it.
Adam Curry: It's another potential it's bigger than
Watergate. Bigger than January 6 Blackmail
Unknown: ring. This is crazy. Rise. I'm talking crazy. Crazy,
crazy, crazy. Crazy. Stop everything. Pay attention if
you're driving pull over. Emmanuel Macron is the president
of France. He is married to Bridgette McCrone Okay. Their
love story has always been extremely weird and extremely
creepy. There was just an article that was published in
the Daily Mail. Here's the headline. The proof Francis
first lady wasn't born a man. What was when what? So I, of
course instantly read it because what a bizarre thing that you're
even needing to present proof that Bridgette McCrone was not
born a man. So the quote unquote conspiracy theory is actually a
three year thorough investigation that was conducted
by journalists that were working with genealogists. Their theory
is that the First Lady Bridgette McCrone was actually born. Joan,
Michelle. So Bridget is actually John Michael John Michael lived
as a man for 30 years, fathered five children, okay, and then
transitioned at the age of 30 to become Bridgette, so
Adam Curry: I was so surprised to Candice Owens did anything on
the story, but her setup to me could only be we have to
embarrass McCrone because, you know, he's he's doing boots on
the ground bull crap. Oh, yeah. Give
John C Dvorak: me a private preface what you're saying?
You're going to refer and I should. I should mention that
she said specifically, she's going to put her career on the
line her career on the law. Yes, her whole career career that
this is true. So what you would be suggesting as as you unfold
this scandal, yes. Is that Candice Owens is a agent of the
US government. She's
Unknown: a spook. No, no, no, she's
John C Dvorak: presenting misinformation for the purposes
of embarrassing McCrone based on what she was told to do. I
Adam Curry: think she is a controlled opportunist. For
sure. For sure. Yes. And that doesn't mean that she's that,
that she's working for an agency. You know, like, we don't
actually work for the Zionist Wink, wink. No, but that she
gets the story and gets reliable. You know, you don't
want us like like, hey, Candace, I'm over here. boots on the
ground and the three letter agency let me tell you what I've
learned. Oh, yeah. Let me check you out. Did you do go to
LinkedIn? Oh, my God. Yes. You work there. Okay. I mean, I know
how this works. But you
John C Dvorak: know how this works. Yeah, that would work. It
would be okay. It does. Just don't say where you got this
information. You can't it's just gonna make it look terrific.
You're gonna be on top of that should be number one.
Adam Curry: I'm going to send you this from proton mail. It's
secure. I've got a link to Bridey on video. You'll love it.
Yes. So. So I was thinking it could be it could be that this
story comes out to embarrass McCrone then all of a sudden,
he's got to be the guy that ends the war. Yeah, don't worry. I'm
gonna talk to my people here. Valade to talk to my people.
I'll get back to you. So are you safe? Are you safe? Are you sure
you're safe? Okay, are you ready to sit around the negotiating
table? This was my idea. Because, you know, if I go to
the rooskies If I go to Putin, you know, they're gonna want to
sit down. Are you ready? Are you ready? I'm doing it for you. So
John C Dvorak: is my idea to have a two camera shoot in my
office.
Adam Curry: Here's your script. That was great. was great. So
just these just putting that together. Something is up and
it's time. It is time. We have to end this thing. The money is
just not working. Nobody will although that's not entirely by
John C Dvorak: the way. was on TV Biden ends this thing before
like summer. Yeah, he can use it as a campaign point. talking
point. Well, here's the layout. I ended up. I ended it In a
Unknown: surprise move the White House today. In a surprise move
the White House today announcing a new $300 million weapons
package for Ukraine this despite the gridlock that's kept
Congress from passing new Ukraine aid for months. Pentagon
officials say they were able to come up with a money through
savings on long term contracts with weapon makers.
Adam Curry: Hey, we did a long term contract and we saved money
yet said no contractor ever said the punt. Pentagon never what?
That is such a crazy gun. Oh, no. Oh, no. Please never,
John C Dvorak: you know, still thinking of the spooky side of
this. Yeah. So visualize. This speaker that house Mike Johnson.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: spook. Oh, yes. Christian nationalist spook. The
ordinary No, it used to be Catholics in actions and the the
Catholics lapsed. So, you know, the Christian nationalists took
over the business. I believe that
John C Dvorak: this looks like what he's got that he's just got
that look of a guy's a bureaucrat. He's been you know,
he's he knows what he's doing and he's here also looks like if
I probably kill you, he
Adam Curry: also looks like a choir boy. So I don't know.
Well, but there's now
John C Dvorak: he looks more like a spooked and a choir boy
to me, but let's just
Adam Curry: stick with what's going on because the EU is now
dancing around. But what they what they have been talking
about doing, which is stealing the Russian money. And we
already kind of identified the plan. And because there's no
money and by the way, that's Trump's fault. Because there's
no money going to Ukraine, they've come up with a novel
solution, which I think we indicated was a way to go a
couple shows ago, Stuart Brussels
Unknown: reportedly planning to take the profits generated by
seized Russian assets in Europe and send that money to Ukraine,
the Financial Times reporting that the first payments could
come as early as this July. Euro clear is a Brussels based
financial services firm that handles cross border securities
settlements, some 190 billion euros and Russian assets are
frozen there by Western sanctions, those assets
continued to generate profits around 3.8 billion per year in
interest and other payouts, Western countries have so far
been divided about whether or not to give Russia's underlying
assets to Ukraine. So the EU now instead focusing on just
ascending the profits that those assets generate cubes war
effort, and the plan comes as financial aid to Ukraine has
been rather stalled in recent months. It has indeed Ukraine
says only about half of the $37 billion it needs this year has
been allocated by the EU and the International Monetary Fund. One
key holdup, of course is the US or hardline Republicans in the
House of Representatives are holding up a $60 billion aid
package. US intelligence leaders say that money could make the
critical difference for Ukraine on the battlefield this year. Do
you
Adam Curry: think that they invested in in treasuries? Or do
they maybe buy some bitcoin? What do you think they? So what
is euro clear? Do they just oh, it was interest and in some
other investments that they made? So they're investing
rushes frozen money? Is that what they're
John C Dvorak: doing yet to put aside? And maybe it's in euro
bonds?
Adam Curry: I mean, it's it's pretty interesting. You know,
we're not really going to steal your money. But didn't we pay
back? The Iranians money with interest? I don't know. I think
we did. I think we did. I think I think we paid him back or,
Yes, I'm
John C Dvorak: priced. Well, there plenty is going to be in a
in an account. Yeah. And the the money in the account will be
accumulating interest into back into the account. So if you're
going to pull the account out, you just don't take them. That's
Adam Curry: really nice. You know, when you when you freeze
money for a war for war criminals, but we'll let you let
you get interest just in case the war ends, then we can give
it back to you. It sounds all a little bit specious.
John C Dvorak: Well, there's this the aspect of it is, Hey,
you took my money in an inflationary economy. And you
give me my money back 10 years later, which is like, you know,
I've lost like 20% and half really, where's the interest? A
half a
Adam Curry: million people died? That's not you know, maybe give
the interest to them or their families. Screw y'all.
John C Dvorak: We're never gonna give anything to the people.
Okay, the Exactly. Fix potholes for that matter.
Adam Curry: So if that wasn't the number one most discussed,
or most important thing, the algo was telling everybody? Oh,
oh, no. I mean, I seriously, I got I got from my read this. My
friends in Austin. I mean, you know, they know I'm among the,
you know, I got my ear to the ground. I know stuff that's
going on. You know, it's like, so literally the question was,
is Bridgette Macron a trainee? Yes. You are considerably
actually set. Oh, yeah. The former Hollywood executive. And
the second question, is Kate Middleton dead? I mean, it's
John C Dvorak: a question we all wonder if Kate Middleton's dead.
She's supposed to be in a coma.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable. What
John C Dvorak: isn't divide. As an aside, that phony baloney
picture of her I did not put it in the newsletter. But the phony
baloney picture of her with her three kids surrounding her.
She's grabbing him. She
Adam Curry: was great. That picture
John C Dvorak: and everyone says oh, they photoshopped. That's
not a photoshopped picture. That picture is a classic example of
AI
Adam Curry: and said the expert Jhansi Dvorak
John C Dvorak: did besides the fact that her hands are in the
wrong positions, but that why the kids weird hand he's got the
wrong finger.
Adam Curry: Now you're doing the same thing. You're now going
John C Dvorak: on the side. You heard the word aside. I just
want to get this off my chest. Okay. which is the fact that
everyone keeps saying it was photoshopped? No, they kept I
heard it was aI retouched. I'm telling you, I could find
Photoshop after Photoshop after Photoshop. I mentioned on clips,
I want to do it. Oh, no, you brought it up, by the way, Kate
Middleton and
Adam Curry: then I dropped it. And you said As an aside, and
then you moved it to Senator lane because you
John C Dvorak: since you brought it up, I have to complain about
people saying it was photoshopped. And the other
giveaway. You can't get three kids in any photo to smile like
that. It's impossible. It's true. It's true.
Adam Curry: But again, that's it's amazing what the algos do
to people. Oh, I need to know about this. This is important
stuff. Kate Middleton please is like really? I wish her well but
the most unimportant thing in the universe. And then let's get
back to the Jews for a second because this is too funny. So
now that this other controlled opportunist, II and Carol keys,
the guy that started the whole Diddy thing. The Diddy lawsuit
with the six parties and immediately connected it to
Whitney Webb's outstanding reporting on J. Edgar Hoover.
Yeah, there's the giveaway, right? And everyone's now
sending me links to this guy on Twitter and he's on Tik Tok, but
it posts on Twitter. Like this guy has a good explanation. This
explains exactly what's going on with tick tock, it's the Jews
the Jews wanted gone so they're
Unknown: pushing another tick tock ban bill really hard but
something does not add.
Adam Curry: Something does not add up at
Unknown: all. So I've been trying to wrap my head around
this for the last couple of days and nothing was making sense
until I stumbled upon this leaked recording. First off,
what I'm about to get into is highly controversial, extremely
sensitive, so I'm gonna have to be really careful. So
Adam Curry: leaked recording John, from four or five months
ago leaked recording very highly sensitive Stanback. It's on the
X cited
Unknown: this leak recording is from about four or five months
ago. It's Jonathan Greenblatt, he is the head of the anti
Defamation League.
Adam Curry: So what he's saying here is we have a Gen Z problem
he does because I see all the Palestinian protests. We have a
tick tock problem. We need the same brains that were behind
taglib, which is, you know, the go back to Israel. The taglines
is he's talking about a PR campaign. He's not talking about
getting rid of it. But then he just call this fellow Jews over
there and in American government, no, get rid of it.
Unknown: Clear as day we have a generational problem we really
understand. Tick tock problem. And we're going to need to put
all our energy into this. If there's any lobby that owns more
US politicians. It is this. Say it out loud, but
Adam Curry: it's pointing towards AIPAC documents.
Unknown: This is the one Democrats and Republicans alike
fear this lobbies clout we can count on well over half the
house 250 to 300 members to do reflexively, whatever they want
in 24 hours, we could have the signatures of 70 senators on
this napkin. That's right. That's how the getting rid of BB
literally playing out right before our very eyes. There's
also this time magazine article that just came out why Tiktok
needs to be sold or banned before the 2024 election. The
article barely even mentions China or election security. Oh,
no tardy of it focuses solely on this issue right here. Another
chart from the article had the ironic thing is that yes, it's
true. A foreign government has infiltrated the US except it's
just not the country. They want you to think it
Adam Curry: is. It's not China. It's Israel. Don't you see?
They're responsible for taking down tick tock. Oh, so I have a
couple of tick tock clips to play. First, Associated Press
decided to roll out their Gen Z reporter, which I mean, you look
at this young woman and she's a nerd. And she's and she's
visually perfect for the piece. Delivery for minus
Unknown: tick tock might get banned in the United States. Not
yet. But the proposed bill passed today in the house and is
headed to the Senate. The
rules are suspended, the bill is passed.
And without the objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on
the table. Democrats
and Republicans have raised concerns for some time because
parent company bytedance is based in China. Was it developed
in China? Some of it is, is the user data of the 170 million
Americans on tick tock secure? Or will China's ruling party
compelled by dance to hand the data over? Under 2017 law they
can do that the bill isn't a clear cut band, it would require
the parent company to divest from tick tock within six months
of the bills enactment or it's out. This has come up before
last March, a ban was on the table and CEO Susie Shu told
lawmakers during a hearing that the company was migrating us
user data to servers with the Texas based company Oracle and
even before that Trump tried to ban the after executive order.
In preparation for this vote tic toc sent a notification to some
users urging them to call their representatives and speak out
against them email me, me, me, me, me me that has bipartisan
support. And Biden's White House provided technical support in
the drafting even though he is campaigning for 2024 on tick
tock.
Adam Curry: Alright, so worthless report. But I needed
to show the at least the idiocy of them rolling out the Gen Z to
report on this, which of course has nothing to do with with
spying. But let's talk to Jim Hines, he is the ranking member
of the House Intel Committee. So the house just passed this bill,
which says in which oh man, there was so much about all
well, actually, I'll play this first masse. Like this is a
Patriot Act, the
Unknown: gentleman from Kentucky is recognized. Mr. Speaker, I
know the sponsors of this bill are sincere in their concerns,
and in their effort to protect Americans. They've described.
The Tick Tock application is a Trojan horse. But there's some
of us who feel that either intentionally or
unintentionally, this legislation to ban tick tock is
actually a Trojan horse. Some of us are concerned that their
First Amendment implications here, Americans have the right
to view information. We don't need to be protected by the
government from information. Some of us just don't want the
president picking which apps we can put on our phones, or which
websites that we can visit. We don't think that's appropriate.
We also think it's dangerous to give the President that kind of
power to give him the power to decide what Americans can see on
their phones and their computers. To give him that sort
of discretion, we also think is dangerous. Now people say that
this tick tock ban will only apply to tick tock or maybe
another company that pops up just like tick tock. But the
bill is written so broadly, that the President could abuse that
discretion and include other companies that aren't just
social media companies. And that aren't, you know, as some people
would believe, controlled by foreign adversaries, again,
we're giving the President that discretion to decide whether it
is controlled by a foreign adversary. There was there were
some people who were legitimately concerned that this
was an overly broad bill. And they got an exclusion written
into the bill that I want to read. It's an era covered
company does not include an entity that operates a website
or application whose primary purpose is to allow users to
post product reviews, business reviews, or travel information
and reviews. Why is this exception in the bill? Why did
somebody feel like they needed this exception if the bill
itself only covers social media applications that foreign
adversaries are running? These and other questions we hope to
answer in the course of this debate. And I reserve the
balance of my time, it's gotten
Adam Curry: increasingly hard to determine who's taking money
from which Silicon Valley entity because a lot of it comes from
lobbying firms and other firms that are you know, you you don't
know who their customers are. But again, the
John C Dvorak: guy who the guy who introduced this bill, say
yourself super PACs
Adam Curry: does that too. But super PACs are shown as a Super
PAC and opensecrets.org, the guy who introduced this bill
Gallagher, he, you know, he's one of his biggest donors is
Google. So this is obviously Silicon Valley's what we call it
the last time, but you know, they're eating our lunch, but
whoever owns Yelp, I guess they're protected, because they
got a little provision in there. Like, hey, not for review sites,
okay. Or maybe against Yelp? Who does own Yelp Yos publicly
John C Dvorak: traded, isn't it? Oh, well, there's
Adam Curry: a short term. I mean, this is so blatantly
obvious. And of course, this is, as we talked about, this is
ultimately you want people focused on China. You want them
worried about China. China is a problem. Don't look at Ukraine.
Don't look at Russia. We can't do anything with those guys.
Here's $300 million. Shut up. Do your little skit. Here is Uh, so
this was this morning, Jim Hines, the ranking member of the
Intelligence Committee, the guys who had this in committee, and
then you know, pass they they passed it. And then it went to a
vote and the House would Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Tick tock got a
bandit. Oh, you gotta get rid of it. Gotta get rid of it. And
this guy voted no.
Unknown: Joining me now is Democratic Congressman Jim Himes
ranking member of the Intelligence Committee. He voted
against the bill. So you're an intelligence expert, you know
that the worldwide threat said that they will China interfered
in the 2022. election, and
Adam Curry: I thought it was Russia. And now it's China. Did
you did China interfere in the 2022? Election? With
John C Dvorak: the 2022? Election? Was the wisdom interim
election that China Democrats won? Yeah. So election?
Unknown: Why did you vote against it? Well, Andrea,
yeah, I have a very specific sense for the threat. I spent a
lot of time thinking about it. And it is a specific threat, it
is largely a potential threat. And as much as we have not seen
the Chinese so far, use tick tock as a way to influence the
elections. But look, but
Adam Curry: look, wait a minute, this guy's on the Intel
Committee. He's saying, we haven't really seen that. But
look,
Unknown: a broader topic, you know, spend a moment or two on
Twitter X, you know, look at the influence that Elon Musk has.
The point I'm making here is that if the Congress were
serious about dealing with this threat, we would start with a
federal privacy bill. But more importantly, and here's why I
voted. More importantly, you know, I'm pretty serious about
supporting the First Amendment, I'm pretty serious about freedom
of expression, the United States government to tell 150 million
people in the United States, which this would happen if, if,
if, by dedans, didn't divest of Tik Tok for the government to
say 250 million Americans, you can no longer participate in
this venue of protected speech. First of all, it would run into
First Amendment problems. We saw that in Montana where they tried
to do this. And secondly, you know, we've spent our entire
history as a country saying to dictatorial regimes, you can't
shut down newspapers, you can't shut down the public square. And
for the United States that take that step, based on a bill that
had all four days consideration in the house, I just, I was not
going to be a part of that.
Adam Curry: So this guy clearly parroting the TIC tock CEO.
Talking Points, which is this is a violation of your first
amendment rights. Oh, please. So this guy, he he's I think he's
mad because he wants control of all social media companies don't
just a single tick tock bill. That's no good. And by the way,
he calls it for what it is.
Unknown: I take your point. So why do you think Marco Rubio and
Mark Warner are the bipartisan Chair and Vice Chair of the
Senate Intelligence Committee voted are in favor of it? Well,
they released the statement, there wasn't a vote in the
Senate, it's not clear that there will be but they did
really release a statement supportive of. And look, I have
a lot of respect for both of them. But I will tell you that
one of the things that's happening right now on Capitol
Hill, is that people are falling all over themselves to appear
hawkish against China. And that instinct is not a bad one, China
is doing lots and lots of things that we would rather that they
did not do. But China is also a place where we do $700 billion
of trade, it's a place where we have, you know, certain common
interests that we should be working together on. And so just
because the Congress is falling all over itself for each member
to demonstrate how hawkish they are on China, that doesn't mean
that you know, compromising the Bill of Rights the First
Amendment the constitution that we all take an oath to support,
that that's necessarily the right thing to do. So
Adam Curry: he's he's calling it correctly, this is about virtue
signaling China's bad pay attention America, China, China,
China. And then at the end, he comes out again, with he's so
concerned about the First Amendment that he wants to
regulate all social media.
Unknown: By the way, don't get me wrong here I would much I
would be much happier if Tik Tok were not ultimately owned by a
Chinese company that would be much happier if their algorithms
are here in the United States. I'm not gonna say to Steve
Minuchin is the guy but I hope that there is a disposition
there. But remember, Andrew, and this is really important. You
know, we Twitter, all these other social media platforms are
completely unregulated, completely uncontrolled, because
the Congress has failed its basic duty privacy legislation
until we do that. And we the way the Europeans have the way the
state of California has, we're not really in a position to be
overly preachy about the dangers associated with social media
those dangerous like I said, spend 10 minutes on Twitter X
and you'll see we've got a lot of work to do around all social
media platforms before we start getting high and mighty about
one in particular
Adam Curry: so the This guy wants to regulate everything
he's he's full of crap on all on all accounts, but he's right
about the China virtue signaling any brings up Mnuchin Well, this
this just makes it more hilarious. The Trump treasurer
Secretary Gary Mnuchin who he's gotten rid of his tics by the
way, he was on CNBC and you know, I'm hyperfocus he was he
had he had zero Tourette's that like, just before the interview
started, he had a little a little twitch there. But he has
a well under control. And he figured, oh, you know what? I
can go by that? Because I'm Mnuchin. Well, you
Unknown: know, when I was Treasury Secretary, I chaired
Cepheus and Cepheus approved, and I had President Trump sign
an order that Tiktok had to be sold. And I continue to believe
that so I think the legislation should pass. And I think it
should be sold, I understand that technology, it's a great
business, and I'm gonna put together a group to buy Tiktok
you're trying to buy tickets, I am because they should be owned
by a US, US businesses, there is no way that the Chinese would
ever let a US company on something like this in China,
you say, Have you already put a group together? Now while I'm
working? Group, I've spoken to a bunch of people, but you
wouldn't be part of your group. I can't tell that to you now.
But it would be it would be a combination of investors who
would be no one investor that controlled this. And the issue
is all about the technology. This needs to be controlled by
us.
Let me ask a very practical question. If you talk to folks
inside the world of tick tock themselves, they would suggest
that is almost impossible within a six month time period. What do
you know about now that you've studied this business? Several
years ago, when I imagine you continue to how you would
actually operationally do it?
Well, let me first say, I don't think this should be controlled
by any of the big US tech companies. I think there could
be antitrust issues on that. And this should be something that's
independent. So we have a real competitor. And users love it.
So it shouldn't be shut down. The technology, I won't go into
all the details, but the app needs to be rebuilt in the US.
It needs to be us technology. I think there's a lot that could
be done in six months. But I would work closely with the US
and with China, I
think that the bill would need to get rewritten by the Senate
effectively, to give you more than six months is a timing
issue. Do you think I
think a lot can be done in six months?
John C Dvorak: Right? You just said he couldn't do it in six
months?
Adam Curry: A lot. A lot can be done. I can do a lot in six
months. last clip here. If it really isn't a if it really is
getting children to to hate America and believe in Osama bin
Laden's letter. And is it really helping illegals? I'm sorry,
newcomers crossed the border?
Unknown: Do you believe that the data that is collecting today,
but the data that's being collected and potentially
certain things that are being pushed Andrew
Adam Curry: Ross Sorkin isn't dork? I mean, does he not know
that every single app that is on a phone collects all this data?
It's the same data? This tick tock has nothing special except
Oh, yeah, these are the videos you watch. I mean, you're
watching reels it's repurpose tick tock videos, it's the same
thing.
Unknown: Do you believe that the data that is collecting today,
but the data that's being collected and potentially
certain things that are being pushed to the users is being
influenced and directed by the Chinese government today? Or do
you look at this as a prospective national security
threat, meaning it has not been put into practice in any
meaningful way right now. But the worry is that one day, it
could which is it, but
I'm not going to comment on what's today. But I will
comment, there's no question that on a forward basis, they
have both the ability to influence the data, and they
have the ability to collect data, which is probably the
bigger concern.
But you're not going to comment on today, because you can't do
that without giving away things that you might know that others
wouldn't. That's true.
And also, I think kind of the issue today, again, I think the
focus should be it should be sold. It should be controlled by
a US business. It's a great company, it would be terrible if
it would shut down lots of users. We need a competitor to
Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
Adam Curry: Well, do we know? This is this whole thing? Do you
really think he can put together enough money I mean, this thing
will be valued. We think today even at the at cut prices,
because it might get get kicked out of the app stores. It's
probably $250 billion.
John C Dvorak: Was it? It's actually 60 Korean everybody.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I don't buy that.
John C Dvorak: But it's like this whole thing, you know, it's
annoying besides the fact that we're the ones always bitching
about China shutting down our stuff. Yeah. The idea that we
can and compete internet with international companies with you
know, we have to everything has to be I mean Made in America is
great when it's made in America. But if something better comes
along as shouldn't that give us some impetus to do you know, to
compete with him and pitching and moaning and shutting him
down because we can't compete with them? I mean, I think it's
just like, we've sought to that we have to shut these guys down
because we can't compete. I think that's it your initial
thesis, we don't want to forget that. Which is this is just a
YouTube. This is for YouTube and Google and Facebook and Twitter
they because they don't want these guys around, because the
Insta,
Adam Curry: and also, you know, I'm not so impressed. Their
algorithm is quite simple. You like blue hair and trans fears
all your blue hair trans videos. How hard is that? You like you'd
like Jesus? Here's your Jesus videos. We're not gonna put any
any Beals above videos in your Jesus videos. Is that simple?
And
John C Dvorak: not? Is it that simple. But I have never, you
know, you listen to the earlier clip where they some the, I
don't know, the ADL or somebody has irked about the anti Jewish
content or Gaza something I have I go on a tick tock probably
more than you do because I like to look for clips. And I have
never seen one anti Jewish clip on tick tock ever. Because they
don't send them to me. No, because I'm always looking for
the blue herring teacher you know that's non binary you get
to non binary Yeah, they get a bunch of non binary guys or
women with a big thing in their nose. They got it looks like
Adam Curry: but remember, we kept hearing from they want tick
tock gone because that's where Maga is no, if you're Maga
you're gonna get I'd
John C Dvorak: be honest. Well, I know I take it. No. In fact, I
have some clip where these clips are part of a presentation. But
I do have some tick tock clips today which are anti Maga.
Adam Curry: But that's what I'm saying. They're algo is so
beautifully simple. They just say instead of boys, we have to
if someone's over here in their filter bubble, we have to give
them a little bit of controversy because then they fight and then
they're on it longer. No. Tick tock I don't think I mean I know
you can comment people don't even really care. flip, flip,
flip, flip flip just go through it. 100%
John C Dvorak: Whoa, I said it is a it's the you don't find
that you just get it's just entertainment after you want to
watch people falling on their ass. You don't need to comment
on that you just bought here's another one. Oh, look at that
one follow. Exactly. That's there's 1000s of people falling
on their ass. And that's
Adam Curry: the genius of Tik Tok. It's I don't understand.
How can it be so hard? Well, I guess it's hard to retool
YouTube then their algo or whatever. I don't see why it's
so difficult. Fact we should buy Tiktok we know how to do it.
I'll call up my tick my tick tock friend Mnuchin chicken for
talk. Now, I mean this this is ridiculous. So yes, there's an
element of, of China in there. But i By the way, this just
broke this morning. Let me see. Where is it now? Which I was
looking for. I couldn't find any news clips yet. It's an
exclusive from Reuters. Today, two years into office, President
Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to
launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at
turning public opinion in China against its government,
according to former US officials with direct knowledge of the
highly classified operation so that's code for the CIA leak
this and
John C Dvorak: we're gonna highly clevers that classified.
How did that get out at all
Adam Curry: the three three former officials told Reuters
that the CIA created a small team of operatives who use bogus
internet identities.
John C Dvorak: Oh no.
Adam Curry: Mark Bogner to spread negative narratives about
Zhi Jing pings government while leaking disparaging intelligence
to overseas news outlets. The effort which began in 2019 has
not previously been reported. So what is this?
John C Dvorak: Whoa, live with it? Stop it for a second do a
quick analysis. Why does Trump have to be involved if they're
going to do this at all? Okay, here's a give it to you. Okay,
here's,
Adam Curry: here's what I was thinking. We can blame Trump for
China problems. We can blame Trump on cola.
John C Dvorak: The Biden actually did that in the State
of the Union. Well, that's what I'm
Adam Curry: saying. We can blame COVID on Trump. Because in 2019,
they started to meddle with the Chinese on their own social
networking sites and the Chinese when Oh, yeah, take COVID This
all kinds of possibilities with this. They're all lame. But, um,
you know, for sure this is a plan from the CIA. Oh, here,
they promoted allegations that members of the ruling Communist
Party were hiding, ill gotten money overseas and slammed
slammed CIA term slammed as corrupt and wasteful. China's
Belt and Road Initiative, which provides financing for
infrastructure projects in the developing world. This sources
told Reuters, this is this is some kind of binary setup on
Trump. That will unfold but they're going to blame something
on Trump regarding China. Now, it was his fault. It makes zero
sense. But this is week 10. It's a it's a Reuters exclusive.
John C Dvorak: Maybe a secret is a compliment to Trump.
Adam Curry: Well, whatever it is, the timing is no
coincidences, all this China's stuff is happening. And now
we're going to blame something on Trump. Well, we have we have
China problems. China is a problem in the Indo Pacific get
Trump if if only Trump hadn't done that. Oh, well, sorry,
Ukraine, Trump did it. Something like that. Remember, these
people are laying so this this shows you some of that lame
thinking that they've got going on.
John C Dvorak: But the latest thing I've been kind of pulling
down is the Trump's a dummy clips.
Adam Curry: What? He's a dummy. Oh, no. A
John C Dvorak: real big dummy.
Adam Curry: Okay, well,
John C Dvorak: first, let me let me play the one clip from the
her hearing.
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. Yeah, her Yeah.
Unknown: This is her he or her is? Uh,
Adam Curry: yes, it says they.
John C Dvorak: They, them he her? So her this is the this was
the main and this is I'm getting this clip out of the way because
this is the main clip that got picked up on that. Why did why
did any of this happen in the first place? What was Biden
doing with all the classified documents and, you know, the
Republicans were kind of, you know, grilling her and the
Democrats are just complaining about Trump, it had nothing to
do with this hearing that the setup
Adam Curry: is that the special investigator was investigator a
prosecutor, especially investigator had to go and check
out Biden's documents, same same thing that Trump had done. He
comes back with a report and says, yup, he had a whole bunch
of documents. The guy's no good. But he's he's an old old man. So
I'm not going to do anything about it. Am I categorizing that
properly? Yeah, that's exactly
John C Dvorak: right. All right. So but let's listen to this is
the kind of the this was the nut, as I think you say in
journalism did not have the hearing. And it's worth playing
because they've been nobody's playing it. And this is like the
key issue right here her hearing book deal to her Why
Unknown: do you do it? Why did Joe Biden, in your words,
willfully retain and disclose classified materials? I mean, he
knew the law in an office like 50 years, five decades in the
United States Senate chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, eight years as Vice President, you know, he knew the
rules, because you said so on page 226. President Biden was
deeply familiar with the measures taken to safeguard
classified documents. So Joe Biden knew the role rules, you
know, he knew the rules, and Joe Biden told us he knew the rules.
So Mr. Herr, why did he break?
Congressman, the conclusion as to exactly why the President did
what he did is not one that we explicitly address in the
report. The report explains my decision to the attorney general
that no criminal charges were warranted in this manner.
I think he did tell us, I think he told us, Mr. Herr page 231.
You said this, President Biden had strong motivations. That's
the key word. We're getting the motive now. Biden had strong
motivations to ignore the proper procedures for safeguarding the
classified information in his notebooks. Why did he have
strong motivations? Because you next word, because he decided
months before leaving office to write a book. That was his
motive. He knew the rules. You broke them because he was
writing a book and you further say Andy began meeting with the
ghostwriter. While he was still vice president, there's the
motive. Mr. Herr, how much did President Biden get paid for his
book?
off the top my head I'm not sure if that information appears in
the report sir
does there's $1 amount in there it may be 8 million if a million
dollars. Joe Biden had 8 million reasons to break the rules to
classified information and shared it with the guy who was
writing the book. That's why he knew the rules but he broke them
big for $8 million in a book advance.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's, that's interesting. He gave it to the
ghostwriter.
John C Dvorak: We gave the classified documents that goes
right I'm sure he paid a minimum wage
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's what I'm saying he gave the
classified documents yeah goes
John C Dvorak: for the $8 million advance I'd you know I
looked at this with a like a book that sold nothing It was an
$8 million advance from Tony imprint of Macmillan called flat
iron press. And you know, I these these deals these all of a
sudden you get $8 million as Vice President. I'm not
convinced that this isn't a kind of a back ended way of getting
something after your you did your job, but you can't take a
bribe. So now you get $8 million dollars after the fact it's just
obviously what was going on because this was not this is a
book of Biden's death of his son Bo and just a bunch of self
flattery the book itself which came out in 2017. So anyway,
that was the main the main the
Adam Curry: consent of the governor and do not agree with
this. This is no good
John C Dvorak: meanwhile, the Democrats are not talking about
any of this stuff. They refused even cross examine her they they
ended with stuff like this. This is her hearing the name Nadler,
here's Nadler he's asking about anything he's doing this one of
Unknown: the great memories of all time, James Webb. Don't
remember the names. Don't worry. No way. Stop. Stop.
John C Dvorak: Stop. Stop, stop. I got to set this up properly.
Yeah, what was Nadler he goes on a tirade and then he throws up
on the screen. Like today's have some audio visual coordination,
I guess. Oh, yeah. Like a super clip, which you're gonna hear of
Trump being a dummy. It's Trump forgetting a name Trump fumbling
now,
Adam Curry: this is the show that that Trump is just as old
and
John C Dvorak: casual and is addled as as GM Biden calls by
if I can
Adam Curry: interrupt for a second Have you seen Biden's new
shoes?
John C Dvorak: No, I have not seen that. Oh
Adam Curry: my god. This is like he's got these huge platforms
underneath like broad so that he can't tip over. It's great.
John C Dvorak: Well, the thing is that this super cut, which is
probably about a minute long, or minute and a half at most, is
the best they could do on the heels. And I don't know if
you've seen this, but it's just came out. I didn't even you
can't even bother to get clips from it. Two hours and 50
minutes of Biden gaffes. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, I someone sent it to him and went no, no, I'm
not gonna watch that is
John C Dvorak: it's actually quite funny. But as writers,
it's a feature length film.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah. I don't have time for this in my life.
Unknown: So here we go. One of the great memories of all time,
James Webb, they'll remember the names. They'll remember the name
Viktor Orban. Did anyone ever hear of him? He's the leader of
Turkey. By the way, they never put a crowd on January 6, you
know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, is in charge of security three
years, lady, ladies, Lady Shabbat that
you actually have a one on one with Comey.
Not much not even that I remember. We have languages
coming into our country we have nobody even speaks those
languages. They're truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them.
Saudi Arabia and Russia will repeat do. I have a really good
memory. Your next wife was a woman by the name of Marla
maple. Right?
Do you recall what years you were married to Miss maples.
It's called like up here. And it's called memory. And it's
called other things. So you don't remember saying you have
one of the best? I remember that. And Putin, you know, has
so little respect for Obama that he started to throw around the
nuclear water. You heard that nuclear we have to win in
November, or we're not going to have Pennsylvania? They'll
change the name. They talked to Putin a lot. Did you ask him? I
don't remember that. That this morning. I don't remember asking
him that. He doesn't have a good memory and all that stuff, like
a great memory for 20 years that we're fighting ISIS. I defeated
ISIS in four weeks, and we did with Obama. We won an election
that everyone said couldn't be won them that cognitively and
you know what? When I am you're going to enjoy it. You're going
to be the first week. I know my people. You say all right,
Trump, you did a good job. Get the hell out of here. That's it.
Adam Curry: That is a man who is incapable of avoiding criminal
liability. A man who is wholly unfit fit for Office? And who a
man and a man who at the very least, ought to think twice
before accusing others of cognitive decline? Wow, no
wonder this is this is huge. These guys are trying to do
television show they should get their own streaming called
Congress plus,
John C Dvorak: it would be great. So this, this goes out,
this comes out. And so I catch this clip. This is a series of
short basically a minute or so. Tick tock, some guy and I don't
know who he is, but he's one of those guys who's in the Look at
his face in the camera going on and on. And he goes off on a
tirade about Trump being the stupidest guy in the history of
the world. And I just thought it was worth clipping because it
was funny. And let's listen to part of it. And you you can stop
me after one or two clips. But this is Trump is a dummy one.
The
Unknown: way we got in this situation is pretty simple to
explain. Basically, when Nixon was discovered having committed
Watergate people thought the Republican Party was washed up.
But a clever staffer on Nixon's in Nixon's White House came up
with an idea for how to get more new Republican voters, to
replace all the people that were turned off by the corruption
that had just been exposed, and perhaps save the party. His name
was Lee Atwater. And he said, I know where there's all kinds of
disgruntled white people, all you got to do is appeal to them
over their anger about the end of Jim Crow and about school
desegregation, and about the Civil Rights Act. And these are
the words that you'll say to kind of trigger them then we
call these the racist dog whistles. And you will send a
message to them that they are welcome in the Republican Party.
And starting in the mid 70s, to the mid 80s, there was a massive
change in voter registration from Democrat to Republican on
the part of all these racists and lowlifes and ignorant
people. At the same time, Trump started have political ambition.
Adam Curry: Good setup.
John C Dvorak: All right now, last little things. One, this is
nonsense timeline. Yeah. And I And it's this is a plague right
now because people don't take history. They don't do jack in
school. The liat water was called the Southern strategy to
get some of the disgruntled Democrat voters from the south,
not necessarily for racist reasons, but for other reasons
to get some of them into the Republican Party. It was called
the Southern strategy. Yes, it took place long before
Watergate. It wasn't after Watergate to get to recovered
debt Republicans it was before Watergate. That's how Nixon got
in in the first place, and then had a landslide when he got
reelected. Then Watergate came at the end of his term. This is
this is symbolises nonsense. It's just
Adam Curry: so much of the Tiktok guy saying the Jews want
to get rid of tick tock. This Yeah, this is how they should
want tic toc. Why would you want to get rid of something that
makes people dumber and more controllable, it's beautiful.
And it's Chinese doing it.
John C Dvorak: So here we go with part two where we really
get into the weeds.
Unknown: Now it turns out, Trump has an IQ of about 73. He barely
functions as an adult, if it were not for the fact that his
father gave him a lot of money, he wouldn't be able to function
as an adult. Trump has less money now than he would have had
if he just taken the money he got from his father, and put it
in an index fund in the stock market and just let it sit. But
he's gradually played around with it all these years and lost
it and all his lawsuits and so forth, and his six bankruptcies.
And it he's dissipated a fortune over his lifetime. Now, he's had
the Russians for the last 20 years to bail him out. But oh
man, ordinary people cannot be as dumb as Trump and still
function. But Trump came out onto the public stage and
started talking boldly, like he wanted to do things politically
and help the people of America. And he speaks like a third
grader, because that's what somebody with an IQ of 73 talks
like, even if they're an adult. linguists have analyzed his
speech and they've, they've made it plain. He speaks English at a
third grade level. This energized dumb people, because
for the first time they could understand a presidential
candidate. Yes. And they said things like, oh, he speaks his
mind. He's the first guy that doesn't use a bunch of a bunch
of fancy words and confuse me. Now I finally understand what
he's saying. Of course, what he was saying was a lot of things
they wanted to hear. They were the racist dog whistles. And so
you had a beautiful lion speak from their perspective of a
racist and stupid people. The lower 12% of the IQ distribution
corresponds perfectly to Trump's supporters. Now these people are
so intelligent that there's actually a federal statute that
prohibits their induction into military service. Okay, hold
Adam Curry: on a second. So this mirrors I went to get my hair
done, as you know, 14 years ago, but this one woman in Austin has
been doing my hair. I'm loyal to her. And I don't mind once every
six weeks driving to Austin and get some drive time. And she is
surrounded by Austin people. And even though she lives in Taylor,
Texas, which is up north a bit, and she says that her clients
and her friends can everyone around her. She said, cousin,
you know, we were talking about spun up. She says they're spun
out. They are selling
John C Dvorak: out. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Been that's been apps
been out. It's been
Adam Curry: out. And they're talking about leaving the
country again. And she's like, Oh, my God, really? At this? Oh,
yeah, talking about leaving the country, and Trump will cause
mayhem. And I said, Well, did you ask them if that happened
the last time he was president. She says they can't even hear
about it. They and they're mad, and they're on Facebook, and
they're yelling at the television, and it's worse than
ever. But this, this is what it comes down to. And in fact,
these are the dumb people. That has nothing to do with IQ
points. This just ignorant
John C Dvorak: is probably the word I'd use. And in fact, when
this guy says stuff like linguists have looked into his
speech and confirm that he speaks at a third grade level,
give me some example it gets five document this for me, I
don't see it. Alright,
Adam Curry: but Okay, fine. Now, does this get any better?
Because it's drawing on a bit? Is he just gonna is this is just
basically just my hairdressers neighbors that we're gonna play
here.
John C Dvorak: So what was the other thing? He has? 12? Oh,
yeah, the lower 12% percentile of the public are match up the
dummy the big dummies, match up with the
Adam Curry: people who aren't allowed to go into military
service because you're too stupid.
John C Dvorak: I would rather play it out. But before you
continue, I there's a couple of comments is a little different
than that. I think that this is an example of again, the mistake
that Hillary made. And I think other people out there, there's
no issues here. This is calling the voters and supporters of
Trump out and and insulting them. Yeah, this is not a
strategy that would ever work in a million years. It's it works
just the opposite
Adam Curry: dude on tick tock, John, this guy's
John C Dvorak: got a lot of followers got passed around
quite a bit. This is a lot longer. I clipped clip this way
back, but you will listen to spend some time
Unknown: they actually passed a law, you're not allowed to
recruit and induct into military service, the lowest 12% on the
IQ range. Wow.
Adam Curry: Whereas I'd say 90% of people in military are Trump
supporters. That's really this is really interesting.
Unknown: But they're still allowed to vote, and Trump
energize them. He made dumb people think that they finally
understood politics. He made people stood around and proud of
themselves thinking that they had a grasp of the issues
because they could tell on some level that Trump wasn't much
smarter than they were. But they were he was a big shot. So he
seemed like a champion for them. Of course, all these people
forget that they aren't rich. They didn't have a dad him them
the equivalent of $412 million. And they can't do the things
that Trump does, and they can't get away with the things Trump
has gotten away with. And even Trump himself is not going to
get away with them indefinitely. But that's
Adam Curry: another thing. That and she even said this and I
love her dearly. She says he has like 4050 lawsuits, he can never
be president. So the programming is working. And you know, it's
it's riling people up over here. Oh, it gets
John C Dvorak: through to it gets everybody. Oh, yeah, it's
Unknown: just been set. And this is where we're at. Basically, we
have a fanatical core of low intelligence voters who are
podcasters that are solidly behind Trump, they will bank
him, no matter what he does or says because they don't care
what he does or says, they just know he's their guy. They
understand him, they like him. He talks to them in a way that
they can comprehend. And they are fanatical in their support
of him. He has given them what they see as dignity and
strength. And then, at the other end of the spectrum, are smart
people from all walks of life. I actually used to be Republican
myself. I'm ashamed to admit it now. But I know I'm not alone
and giveaway. Millions of people who make sure that they turn out
to vote against Trump used to be actual Republicans.
John C Dvorak: Now a couple of things. And then there's the
last clip and you can move on, but this kind of thing where I
used to be a Republican. And now I'm ashamed to admit it. I used
to be a Democrat. I'm not as Shame to admit it. I used to be
a Republican. I'm not ashamed to admit this bullcrap. You never
does that nothing you ever say, I can't
Adam Curry: believe that they didn't replace Rush Limbaugh
with you. I mean, what am I, sir? It really they really
missed out on that?
John C Dvorak: If that's an insult, and now you're making, I
Adam Curry: don't know, just all of a sudden, I'm like, you could
go on for hours about this.
John C Dvorak: No, I can't, I can go on for as long as I'm
going on, which is about five minutes. 10 minutes. We'll pay
Trump as a dummy for that. I do have the new AD AD. I know, you
see, have you seen the ad? The anti Trump ad? No. Ex Republican
voters? No,
Adam Curry: no, no, no.
John C Dvorak: Oh, man, your, your Do you have a clover?
Adam Curry: Do you have a clip?
John C Dvorak: I do. But let's finish this first with Trump's
had done before, because
Unknown: the Republican Party is now nothing but a loony bin of
the very low intelligence, and there's just no way that you
can, you can be associated with them at all. So now it's gonna
be, you know, some range of conservative to liberal
Democrats again, except that it'll mean something different
than it used to mean. I mean, those Democrats won't be
conservative because they're racist garbage people from the
South, there'll be conservative because they have some other
philosophy about the role of the market or of private enterprise
or something like that. In the economy, at any rate, this is
the problem we have is basically now just the very low
intelligence versus the high intelligence out there. And the
thing is going to be decided by undecided people who don't pay
any attention, people in the middle that don't pay attention
to politics. No matter what, politicians are smart or dumb.
They just show up on election day and try to do their best.
Those are the people you have to reach you have to get them
interested. You have to explain to them what's going on. They
have to be told Trump is a moron and he wants to be a dictator.
And he's got a million morons behind him that want him to be a
dictator. We cannot let that happen.
Adam Curry: Only a million morons well that's not going to
win an election
John C Dvorak: million morons there's a show title million
more you need more than a million morons but you need more
than a million more so meanwhile if you if you follow the
Democrat various Democrat Twitter accounts this ad is
coming up as this is the gonna this is going to do the trick.
Here it is. This is the gonna do the trick. Is this a bunch of
extra Republicans? Of course, you know that like Lincoln
project guys, phonies, ex Republicans, and this is the ex
Republicans complaining about Trump and why he should not be
elected.
Unknown: I'm a former Trump voter for Donald Trump in 2016
and 2020 and 2020. I
Adam Curry: voted for Trump again, I
Unknown: will never support. I will not vote for him in 2024.
He's got so much baggage. Trump is the biggest threat to our
democracy. He
kept denying last election, Donald Trump was responsible for
the violence on January 6, he could have prevented Trump
talking about retribution, retribution and going after
people as disrespect of our military military people that
he's disgrace 9191 criminal felonies
for different indictments, mishandled classified documents,
making documents now
his desire to do away with NATO, Donald Trump talks about
abandoning Ukraine so there'll be a dictator on day one, he's
going to be a dictator on day one, he's
going to be a dictator, period. That
kind of stuff scares me absolutely scares me
a second Trump term would be worse than the first, a second
term for
Trump would be far more extreme and dangerous, outright
dangerous. They cannot support Donald Trump again,
never vote for him again.
They'll never get my vote ever, ever.
Adam Curry: You know, I have to say I went to the vape shop, you
know, the conspiracy theory table when we this little that
we all hang out there. And when it comes and hangs out a lot of
anti Trump talk. I was surprised, you know, like, man,
he screwed it up. He can't do any good. And this is hardcore,
Fredericksburg, Texas. And you know what they're all talking
about. Bobby The K Bitcoin, Bobby. Bitcoin. That's my new
name. Yeah, they're saying, you know, we think he might be a
good alternatives. A lot of people on the left and the right
talking about him. And, you know, I gotta tell you, he's
he's ramping up and he's got something to be in the news.
Robert
Unknown: F. Kennedy Jr, who is running for president as an
independent candidate has revealed his potential running
mates. You might recognize them New York Jets quarterback Aaron
Rodgers and former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura topped
the list. Both men share Kennedy's affinity for embracing
some debunked claims. Rogers, like Kennedy has spoken
misleadingly about the harmful effects of vaccines, while
Ventura has peddled conspiracy theories about the 911 attacks.
Adam Curry: So Bitcoin Bobby's playing this up on the 28th I
believe he will announce his vice presidential candidate, I
have the odds. I have the odds from the way he's gonna
John C Dvorak: be making that announcement. Oh, Oakland. Oh,
nobody can figure out why.
Adam Curry: Well, that's not where Rogers played.
John C Dvorak: No, he played at Cal Berkeley. I did kinda.
Adam Curry: And you know, and there's reasons people, you
know, they I think people have still have a bit of a Kennedy
vibe. I'm talking these are older people. So I'd say, you
know, five years older than I am the average so I'm a little bit
older, some mice so the
John C Dvorak: people in the in the in the smoke shot in Europe
in the
Adam Curry: 60s. Know, they're Kathy and Jerry they're 70
they're there. They're just hits.
John C Dvorak: They're 70 and they've lost. They've lost their
mojo for Trump. Yeah,
Adam Curry: they have they're talking Bobby They're talking
Bobby. And but you know, so are some of the ranchers and they
liked it. He's a Christian they liked it. He overcame drugs. And
they they like what he's saying about Bitcoin of course. But so
here are the odds for Vice Presidential candidate running
mate for Bitcoin Bobby, we have a one to one odds for Aaron
Rodgers. So that's bull. Also follower. Jesse Ventura, two to
one ads, then we go with 14 to one Marianne Williamson. So this
is where I think the the bookies are off their rocker. To get us
for sure. 25 to one for Andrew Yang followed with 33 to one
magic number for Kanye West. And then it just gets nuts. I mean,
we've got Matthew McConaughey Tulsi Gabbard, Jerome Corsi and
Jessica Biel 75 to one odds. Rob Schneider's Kerviel.
John C Dvorak: Doctor,
Adam Curry: no Jessica Biel.
John C Dvorak: Oh, Jessica Biel. Yeah, that's a good one.
Adam Curry: Rob Schneider. 101 Rand Paul, he's at the bottom of
the list. 125 to one Alex Jones, 150 to one, Alicia Silverstone.
Now that just making stuff up. I did get a boots on the ground
report about your girl who you're so enamored by. Oh, she's
young. She looks great. Katie Britt which also in the vape
shop, that was horrible. You know what she barefoot?
John C Dvorak: That's a good one.
Adam Curry: So boots on the ground from my man there in
Alabama. She was handpicked Katie Britt by Richard Shelby.
She was his longtime aide. Then he of course, was Alabama
Senator from 86 to 2022. And now she's the Senator. So she was
handpicked. He was the head of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. So he's one of the most powerful senators directly
millions to the military industrial complex to North
Alabama, NASA Air Force military aerospace companies. She's
married to a former University of Alabama offensive lineman
from Saban's national championship team, which in
Alabama is like being married to the Pope. We elect people here
based on military industrial complex money football and
abortion. She takes every box, zero chance she ever leaves the
Senate for the executive branch. She will make millions of
dollars as a Senate lifer. I think there's something to that.
So she's not going to be any vice presidential nominee for
Trump. And then something very interesting crossed my desk. I
one of our producers, is working on a special for when we take a
day off, and we take about two days a year off. And he's doing
a red book special, which is very difficult to do. To find
read books.
John C Dvorak: We've talked about this. Yeah. So he thinks
we have Okay, go on. Well, he
Adam Curry: thinks he can do two hours, which I'm astounded. He
says there's some that are stronger back,
John C Dvorak: which is 16 years of, you know, well, predictions,
just so
Adam Curry: you know, we have transcripts of every show,
available through bing.io. So when someone emails me like this
morning, you know, this Trump Trump 2025 plan, everyone's
talking about it, you need to dissect it, and I just go, Oh,
let me send you a link, which we did months ago. Which is why
people should be listening to the no agenda show because
you're prepared for when it really hits big then you already
know what's going on. But people don't know sometimes. Oh, I
didn't listen. So he went back and he found a red book entry
from Episode 512. We're now at 1642. This is May 12 23rd.
Listen to this red book entry. I had a real dream last night and
I woke up from this. Put this in the Red Book just for just for
yucks.
John C Dvorak: All right.
Adam Curry: i It was vivid, okay, there was vivid, and maybe
because we've played a couple of clips of him recently I've been
watching video of him. Are you ready for this? Joe Biden was
playing wasn't exactly and he and he sucks. He was. I mean, it
was like a takeover. And he was off his rocker and he was just
dislike a lot of pain I think we can call that a successful red
book entry.
Unknown: That was good.
John C Dvorak: I'm short stop for a second door reconnaissance
here. So you're in the vape shop talking to these guys. We're
Unknown: back to the vape shop. Yeah, of course. Yes. I
John C Dvorak: mean, the vape you're back on vaping you're
back vapor vapor.
Unknown: You stopped all that. Oh, no, no,
Adam Curry: I'm allowed to vape I have not smoked any marijuana
product or any tobacco product or anything?
John C Dvorak: Vaping then team. Yeah,
Adam Curry: basically, it has 0.3% nicotine, so I get my
little hit there. But now I quit cold turkey and I've never I've
not smoked. And it's been 16 months now. Yeah. But But yeah,
vaping helped me stop. That's the whole point. It's the it's
the process of sticking something in your mouth and
sucking on it.
John C Dvorak: Well, you could there's yeah, there
Adam Curry: it is. I left it open for you. I left wide open
for it. Ya know, so I stopped and I I don't believe that
vaping is harmful to you. It's organic. Juice is not made in
China is not made in some big factory. That's what Kathy and
Jerry put the vape shop together to help people stop smoking.
Because they're hippies that's the whole point. That's why
there's just checking Yeah, no no, I think I've had maybe in
that whole period maybe three weed gummies and man I just
didn't do it for me and I told you also dream now I dream all
kinds of crazy I never used to dream when you're you know I
could take a 50 milligrams to
John C Dvorak: dream now you yourself just played a clip that
was that was about you dreaming
Adam Curry: but I don't think I was as heavy a weed smoker then
as I was in the last five years I think I was waking bake I was
smoking all the time. Dude
John C Dvorak: so interesting. Okay, well I'll just check in
Yeah, no, I'm
Adam Curry: looking out for you. That's Thank you appreciate it.
John C Dvorak: Looking out for you condemning you for your you
can't you can't condemn me condemning you.
Adam Curry: Good go ahead try Hey, speaking of tick tock Oh
man, I've been this came across my my algo told me to be very
worried about this. I had not heard this this term. But
apparently a lot of teachers certainly those who are of the
female persuasion on tick tock they're on drugs
Unknown: by does ever teach her how to take anti sad pills real
talk during my student teaching, which was three years ago now I
started taking anti sad pills for the very very first time
Adam Curry: Have you ever heard this term anti sad pills?
John C Dvorak: is the first time I've heard and die sad pill
Yeah, well this is this talking to third grade level She must be
a third grade teacher
Unknown: because mentally it was so much my anxiety cannot take
it I don't wake up at like 6am That's hard guys. Okay, let's
just call it what it is. Teach all day that I had like practice
and I sold school meetings blah blah, blah, blah blah. So I had
then I weaned myself off in the summer because I felt better I
was like, oh my god as soon as the first year of teaching
started all monk on I needed those babies booster rocker than
ever. I cried literally, I think most days for sure teaching. It
was terrible. It was gaslit all day. I didn't know what to do. I
had the kids taught me basically they were like okay, yep, this
is what we're doing today. Nothing. Okay, anyways, started
taking them last year panic attacks all while I was not
doing well because I didn't fully commit to like leaving
teaching yet. So I
Adam Curry: mean, this is what you get. When you allow people
like Mark Cuban and Amazon to do telemedicine people you know,
you can get Prozac for nine bucks a three month supply as a
new time customer of Amazon. Did you know that?
John C Dvorak: No, I did not know that. I mean, this is seems
like a good deal is
Adam Curry: a great deal. But it's not good. It's not it's not
this. This is not what we want for our I mean, this is just not
good. So we'll make Neither the Republicans are morons. The the
lefties did druggies man, druggies, and the teachers are
all drugged out. They visit woman
John C Dvorak: needs to go to be, well, you know what's they
open all these mental health Institute's and might help.
Adam Curry: So there's a report that that has been as resurface
from 2015 which is very interesting. And the thing the
Daily Mail had the headline, chewing gum for 30 minutes has
similar appetite curbing effects to ozempic And so I go and I let
me see where's this report for it's old report 2015 Just from
the National Library of Medicine, PubMed so that's
oficial the effect of gum chewing on blood GLP one
concentration in healthy non obese men so it's non obese men,
but it says among
John C Dvorak: non obese if he does have the chewing the gum
works then you wouldn't be obese,
Adam Curry: healthy men in a fasting state. Chewing sugarless
gum can increase say she say she a tea with no effect on blood
glucose and can decrease the decline of GLP one concentration
chewing gum has no significant effect on blood insulin and G I
P concentration. The presence studies suggested chewing
sugarless gum may be an economical and effective method
to help obesity patients control their energy intake and decrease
weight with no changes in calorie intake. Although there
are different opinions about the benefit of chewing gum was our
study showed positive results it is worth conducting a large
scale clinical research study to verify the effectiveness of this
method. And I thought to myself, exit strategy no agenda, death
bound gum. I'm telling you, we can put a we could get a snappy
jingle. We can have a better name obviously. But we could
sell gum that that helps you lose weight as effective as
ozempic We can even say it's as effective as ozempic According
to reports according to research, it's safe and
effective. I mean this is this could be a bonanza for us
John C Dvorak: whatever happened to gum chewing you know they've
they've backed off and for example when I was a kid they
used to promote dentin gum because it would you do have
some sort of stickiness to it. It would clean your teeth as you
chewed rush your brush
Adam Curry: brush your breath with dentin
John C Dvorak: and then there was the it's chloro something
gum it was a green gum that had chlorophyll in it kept you from
having bad breath and that was a very popular remember that gum
green gum
Adam Curry: homeless second to World Order is a suggest that as
a brand name I like that
Unknown: world order
John C Dvorak: so is anyone in the room remember the clerk
clerk or something GM there was this green stuff that was not it
was pleasant and pure chewing gum all the time and
Adam Curry: have mac and cheese flavor it's endless
possibilities John Trident
John C Dvorak: well I'm just writing it I was my point was
that the you're completely ignoring because you're vaped up
Adam Curry: try this. I'm selling you the name of the GM
trident.
John C Dvorak: No it was not try didn't try this that ladder did
that came later tried. It's a GM you can get today. This other GM
chloro something which was green Pez like gum. Was is no longer
available. I haven't seen it for years.
Adam Curry: Xylitol, xylitol?
John C Dvorak: No, Xylitol is a sugar
Adam Curry: substitute. Right, right. I don't remember what the
one you're talking about.
John C Dvorak: The most I would think somebody in rats. Clarets?
There you go. Somebody's got a clue. Yeah. That person in the
troll room. That
Adam Curry: person is a non 75605
Unknown: WebDriver you were
John C Dvorak: too lazy to change your anon.
Adam Curry: But seriously, I mean, I don't want to pass up
this this dynamite opportunity for us.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I think going into the chewing gum
business is just really chewing away anyways. We chat. Yeah.
Adam Curry: But it could help you lose weight.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, I think people should get back to
nobody chews gum anymore.
Adam Curry: Why is that? They probably didn't want us to chew
it because they knew they were coming out with ozempic
John C Dvorak: Oh, now you're talking now. Now your second
half of shows there.
Unknown: That's a good one. Now.
Adam Curry: I know they got rid of it because of its health
benefits. We can't have that I'd like to world order now
available on mac and cheese flavor.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, doing mac and cheese gum
Adam Curry: here's the here's the Amazon thing
Unknown: oh who used the weight loss drug zet bound may now have
it available to order on Amazon manufacturer Eli Lilly is
actually partnering with the E commerce giant to help patients
receive free and fast delivery of medications as well as 24/7
access to pharmacist. Now it's all part of Eli Lilly's new Eli
direct program back in November, the FDA actually approves that
found as a weight loss treatment.
Adam Curry: The Amazon boom, delivered right to your house.
John C Dvorak: You talk to us disgusting what you just played.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: this is where it's headed.
John C Dvorak: Get this is our medical system is currently in
play, which is
Adam Curry: why I care which is why I think we need to get on
the train. No agenda, no, no agenda, no weight gain. All
healthy. Two world government GM, we just called GM to double
M GM. Anyway, I was I got excited. You're not as excited
as I am. I got excited by the idea of us. I think this is a
great find.
John C Dvorak: I'll look into the processing and who can make
the gum for us and distribution issues. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Freddie the firewall gum and there's all kinds of
ideas. We can have it for kids. We need it for kids. Actually.
Kids lose weight. Hey, you, fatty lose weight. John Uncle
John Adams says it's great. I mean, yeah, it writes itself on
the show. Right? Yeah, we'll have to sell it on the show.
That's how we exit
John C Dvorak: way you want to go here. I
Adam Curry: want to finish up. I have a couple more. Two more
things on Biden, because, you know, he's he said a big boo
boo. And yeah, he did. He said he says shocking. He said
illegal. You know, he said illegal about the you know,
John C Dvorak: there was a big that they carried over the
weekend. We covered that on Sundance,
Adam Curry: MSNBC, Jonathan Capehart. Your boy, Mr.
Hutchins, have said that.
Unknown: Your guy, Mr. President is great to see you again. Thank
you. So that was one hell of a speech you gave. It's there's
three specific areas there. The first one being, you know,
notice the look of surprise on your face when you walked into
the chamber. And you saw Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor
Greene. It was priceless. You've been shocked at seeing her. But
during your response to her heckling of you you use the word
illegal when talking about the man who allegedly killed Riley
undocumented
first, and I shouldn't have used the league as undocumented. And
look, when I spoke about the different feature in Trump. I
mean, one of the things I talked about in the border was his way
he talks about vermin the way he talks about these people
polluting the blood. I talked about what I'm not going to do
what I won't do, I'm not going to treat any, any any of these
people with disrespect. Look, they're built the country. The
reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border
and more orderly flow, but I don't share it with you at all.
So you regret using that word. Yes.
Adam Curry: These people built our country. In case you didn't
know that, well,
John C Dvorak: this okay. Part went out of his way to say you
so you he's shaming him? Yes. Yeah. Because he wants Trump to
waving him on the spot saying you regret using the word
illegal. We don't allow that here at The Washington Post,
where I work. We can't say that it's newcomers what he wanted to
say. Here's
Adam Curry: the follow up.
Unknown: And Brendan, we also heard President Biden saying and
owning the fact that he made a mistake by using the word
illegal that he regrets using that term. But already the Trump
camp responding to K parts Jonathan Kaye parts interview
with President Biden saying, quote, that Biden is tone deaf
for walking back his use of the word illegal, your thoughts
about whether or not it makes sense for President Biden to own
up to what he said? It
might make sense given where the President is politically within
his own party. I think that it was a huge mistake to walk that
back right now honestly, it just shows incredible weakness. This,
let's understand the context here. This is a person who
killed an innocent 22 year old woman who was out for a jog. The
president here just said the person was undocumented. They
weren't undocumented. They had actually been arrested several
times. We knew that he was free, and had been arrested for other
things. This should have been a moment where he could have stood
up to his own party and said, Look, I regret saying illegal I
should have said something worse about this person. And I think
this is going to be used against him significantly. I understand
the politics on the left about language and immigration. I
totally get it. I understand why he did this. But I thought that
was actually a great moment in the State of the Union resort
and reminding people why people in the middle elected him in the
first place that is sort of a middle of the rode Democrats not
owned by the activist last and I think that's really
disappointing that he couldn't use stronger words for someone
who just killed an innocent woman. Whoa.
Adam Curry: MSNBC who knew that's weird. Hey, maybe we can
get in on the climate change if we use like cricket flour and
we'll say that this by chewing his gum you fight climate change
and obesity.
John C Dvorak: I don't want cricket powder in my gum.
Adam Curry: Think marketing man.
John C Dvorak: So we go back to these insults here. Did you see
Nancy mace on the Stephanopoulos show when
Adam Curry: I heard about it? No, I only heard about she was I
had the red victim.
John C Dvorak: I have the clip and here's I'm going to preface
with what you're going to hear. Nancy Mace was a rape victim and
stepping off on this brought her on the show for I don't know
why. I think to get her to not like Trump because Trump was
found guilty innocent in the civil court of, of sexual
whatever she did to that crazy hippie woman whose name is
eluding arrow, Gene II Carol,
Adam Curry: Jeanne Carol
John C Dvorak: So he's going to bring her in, he started and she
throws back at him that as far as she's concerned, he is
shaming her. And at that point because we should believe women
who was Nancy mais again, Nancy Mason's that kind of she's kind
of the attractive congresswoman's got this. She's
got the she's got that Shriver Look, she's got the big jaw. Oh,
yes.
Adam Curry: Sharp, sharp face.
Unknown: Maria's face sharp. Yes, yes.
John C Dvorak: Okay. With that woman that was married to net
Adam Curry: worths? Why was she even on Stephanopoulos for
John C Dvorak: this reason? So he could grill her and say,
Well, you're a victim of rape, you know, how can you support
Trump? That was the basis. Yeah, she called him out on it. He
wouldn't give in and I have the clip. And it goes on forever. He
never apologizes never acknowledges anything. He just
keeps grilling her. This is the most, I think this should be the
end of this guy. You've
Unknown: endorsed Donald Trump for president, judges in two
separate juries and found him liable for rape and for defaming
the victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of
Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw? Well,
I will tell you I was raped at the age of 16. And any rape
victim will tell you I've lived for 30 years with a an
incredible amount of shame over being raped that didn't come
forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt and it's a
shame that you will never feel George and I'm not going to sit
here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about
another potential rape victim. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do
that. So it's
actually not about shaming you. It's a question about No, you
are shaming you've endorsed Donald Trump for President
Donald Trump has been found liable for rape by a jury.
Donald Trump has been found liable for defaming the victim
of that rape by a jury it's been affirmed by a judge and we've
repeated them
in a court case number one, number two, I live with shame.
And you're asking me a question about my political choices
trying to shame me as a rape victim. I find it disgusting and
quite frankly, ageing Carol's comments when she did get the
judgment joking about what she was going to buy. It doesn't it
makes it harder for women to come forward when they make a
mockery out of rape when they joke about it doesn't come
forward when they it makes it harder when other women joke
about it and she's joked about it I find it offensive and I
also find it offensive that you're trying to shame me with
this question.
I'm not trying to show you our own fact I hotel with
this for 30 years
Okay, I got it. This was this was a civil war and by the way,
she joked about the judgment and what she was going to do with
all that money and I find that offensive asking a rape victim
who has been shamed for years now because of her rape. You're
trying to shame me again my asked me
you've repeated that again. I think it's offensive as a woman
I find her I find it offensive I political
Adam Curry: wow, I had not seen that clip.
John C Dvorak: was unbelievable. He just would not let up and he
wouldn't apologize. It was it was very offensive to her and
she kept saying so saying get off the track. I guess he had
nothing else to talk about. Yeah, it was very strange to
watch I
Adam Curry: saw I saw several several women respond to it
online saying you know Stephanopoulos man you're out of
control. But this is all part of branding Trump is a rapist even
though the jury did not say that.
John C Dvorak: As far as I know, they didn't she makes that
point. Especially during that 10 minutes that I sped up. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Can I throw a few names at ya? Slender mint. Who?
Slender mint.
John C Dvorak: Slow your back on the GM can't get weight wise.
Adam Curry: I'm just coming up with some ideas here man.
John C Dvorak: Like bro, you're the first one slender mint. I
love you like
Adam Curry: slender mint. Yeah. Slimming sensation. No, I think
Slenderman Yeah, I'm just working on it. Trim taste. Okay,
I'm serious. I think there's something here is doable. Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's just gone. I mean, you can any factory can
make gum. When I was a kid. There was a Wrigley's factory. I
think they mainly made like the really cheap spearmint or
something that came in little, little package that double meant
no, no, it was like Chiclets. It was in Europe, in Holland. Oh,
in Europe, and they used to throw irregular stuff out in the
back. And then we'd go and get that bags, full bags full of it,
and we sell it a school.
John C Dvorak: And it was great. Yeah, you were that was a very
smart thing to do. That reminds me the story. I've told it
before about the when I was Inspector and I was at the
mother's cookie factory. And so we're which is by the way, if
you can ever get into one of these cookie factories, or any
place where they're making this stuff, you can get it fresh
right out of the oven. It's like unbelievable. So I'm, we're
finishing up the tour with the foremen. And there's a bunch of
cookies going by. And there's a final inspection before they go
into the packaging arena. And there's all these people with
the little thing on their over their head, kind of a plastic
like that. And they're pulling out broken cookies and throwing
and just throwing them over their shoulders into a giant
bin. Yeah. And so I said, Wow, he said, What is it those giant
banana cookies? What did he do with that? Do they give them to
feed lots or they just feed them to cows? I mean, what they must
do something just tossing us the cookies. The guy says no, no,
no, no, no. He says there's a guy in Los Angeles that buys
them from us by the ton packages of men's in cellophane and puts
them in vending machines. And when the person gets the cookies
from the vending machines, they figure they got broken in the
machine. Wow. When they fell to the bottom, and I said oh my
god, that is a genius idea. And that's what you just described.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, we used to sell it. It was great. It was
good for and then they then they caught on to us.
John C Dvorak: Hey, Hey, kids, get out of the bin. Exactly.
Adam Curry: I'm gonna set you up. I know you have a three by
three. And I think that if you go back and look at the Red
Book. Throughout the history of the show, we have talked many
times about the several big rivalries CIA, FBI, CIA, DIA by
the way, thank you. To our producer there who has sent me
the DIA sweatshirt straight from the from the store. That
headquarters is very cool. Defense Intelligence Agency. I
love that sweatshirt. But also, Boeing versus Airbus. And it
sure seems like Boeing's on the losing side right now
Unknown: new concerns about quality control at Boeing. The
New York Times reports the company has failed 33 of the 89
audits the FAA conducted your panel blew off in mid flight on
this Alaska Airlines plane in January. Investigators later
found four bolts were missing. Following
the incident the FAA took immediate action to increase its
oversight activities, and we will continue to put safety

overnight saying we continue to implement immediate changes and
develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen safety and
quality. Transparency at every turn spirits is they'll address
the issue and continue efforts to improve safety with the goal
of zero defects. And safety officials around the world are
looking into the terrifying incident yesterday where 50
passengers were injured on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner over
Australia. The airline saying the plane experienced a strong
shake and blames a technical event for The dramatic loss of
altitude Meanwhile, a Boeing whistleblower was found dead
Friday after an apparent suicide the body of 62 year old John
Barnett, a longtime Boeing employee and quality manager was
found in Charleston, South Carolina, where he was being
questioned in a case against Boeing. Barnett raised concerns
about production standards, telling the BBC in 2019 that
workers deliberately used faulty parts Boeing denied his claims.
Adam Curry: Well, is that a setup or what?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is interesting. This is getting
more interesting by the minute. All right, let me
Adam Curry: play the jingle now. It's time for a three by three.
It's better on that five JC what are we doing with hearing
stories from ABC CBS The Neverending Story of the day the
big news John takes a look at all of the different headline
news stories from the big three networks and Rosemont and a
three by three so we can compare and see if they get the news
from the same place if there's a narrative or what is going on in
your news media controlled world.
John C Dvorak: Let's start with ABC. Tonight a Boeing
whistleblower now dead from an apparent suicide only days after
his lawyer says he'd been deposed. John Barnett worked for
Boeing for 32 years and was involved in a lawsuit alleging
serious safety concerns with the 787 Dreamliner and retaliation
from the company. His lawyers say Barnett was in very good
spirits and we didn't see any indication he would take his own
life. But police in South Carolina say he died Saturday
from a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His body
found inside a car in a hotel parking lot. In January just
weeks after a door plug flew off and Alaska Airlines Boeing 737
Max nine Barnett spoke with TMZ live what
Unknown: we're seeing with the door plug blowout is what I've
seen with the rest airplane. As far as jobs not being completed
properly, inspection steps remain removed. issues being
ignored
John C Dvorak: since that incident a six week FAA review
of the Boeing production line has raised new concerns. New
York Times reporting Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits and
Boeing Supplier spirit
Unknown: Aerosystems, which builds the 737 max fuselage
failed more than half of its 13 audits.
As difficult and as painful these inspections are for Boeing
they will help them get back to basics to be able to begin to
earn the trust of the FAA and the flying public.
David Boeing says they are saddened by John Barnett's
passing but his attorneys say they're showing Yeah, they're
calling for a full police investigation into his death.
Adam Curry: Now just as an aside I mean let's just say that this
is this is a corporate battle I mean, and you know, and Airbus
industries and Boeing don't just make passenger jets they make a
lot of other stuff war stuff mainly. So that's not to be
underestimated. Especially when a lot of big contracts are
coming up for China you know, to make Boeing look extra bad by
killing some dude and by the way, adding two hot tubs and
small aircraft eating lunch in your pickup truck is now a bad
idea if you're in a court case you may What's it too though
them to kill a gun
John C Dvorak: right in the middle of your writing to say
you know I think I'm gonna shoot myself right here in the middle
of this meal.
Adam Curry: I wouldn't put it past them. This is in the in the
world of big business this is nothing
John C Dvorak: that's billions of dollars involved and big
bonuses to billions yeah and being a big bonuses for the seat
for the executives. It makes it way too much money it
Adam Curry: was a meal to die for. I tell you it was so good.
Sandwich. Sorry,
John C Dvorak: well ABC so ABC sets it up. So they start with
the suicide as as the lead Oh, and then they move on to the
details and I thought that was a very interesting structure. 33
Adam Curry: is annoying. I mean, there's too much at 33 is
John C Dvorak: annoying. So NBC Here we go.
Unknown: The focus for investigators that terrifying
nosedive off New Zealand that injured dozens passenger say the
lead time pilot claimed he suddenly lost control of the
Boeing 787 When the flight data computers went dark and 2016 the
FAA issued an airworthiness directive for the 787 warning
that if the flight control computers are not reset every 22
days that could shut themselves down, which could result in
flight controls that don't respond and a temporary loss of
controllability. Meanwhile, two months since that mid air max
nine emergency Sources close to the investigation, say Boeing
has failed 33 of 89 Faa audits, the FAA confirming it identified
noncompliance issues in Boeing's manufacturing process control
parts handling and storage and product control in an email
Boeing's chief of commercial planes today called on every
employee Well ye to precisely follow every step of our
manufacturing procedures and processes. While in South
Carolina, a coroner says former Boeing whistleblower John
Barnett took his own life before his upcoming trial against the
company in 2019. Barnett told NBC News Boeing was putting
profits ahead of safety
from day one, it's just all been about schedule and hurry up and
just get it done push planes out.
In a statement Boeing says we are saddened by Mr. Barnett's
passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
under intense scrutiny, the company today called on every
employee to be on the lookout for safety or quality issues,
and speak up.
Adam Curry: I'm impressed by this report. I and I've been
obviously looking at this lanten. airliner, triple seven
issue was seven 787 or triple seven doesn't matter. It was at
seven. Nothing more scary in a fly by wire type situation where
you barely have any steam gauges anymore if all of your
instrumentation goes out. And let's just say that you're, you
know, that means autopilot because there's clearly an
autopilot mode at that moment. If everything shuts off your
servos all that and the plane is out of trim. I mean, you could
immediately see that drop, but then it's a little suspicious.
What Oh, it it went off and came back on. These things take time
to boot up. It's at least 20 to 30 seconds. But then I hear and
this was new, that you've got to jiggle the handle every 21 days.
What is this?
John C Dvorak: Reminds me of you know, memory, whatever. They
have memory leaks and all these Yeah, regular pieces where you
hey, we're rebooting the router. You remember we were doing
Adam Curry: I got bufferbloat gotta
John C Dvorak: reboot the router. Oh, and it works fine.
Now. What? What was going on that it wasn't working? You
know, the routers going every day and then all of a sudden,
you got to reboot a huge revision. You always said that.
reboot the router.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and sometimes Bucha router. Why? And sometimes
it helped. There was bufferbloat No, it was helping every time.
Yeah. bufferbloat. But this? Do you know,
John C Dvorak: that's what it was? Yeah, that's what we called
it. bufferbloat that's what we called it. We don't know what it
was. We weren't flying
Adam Curry: a 787. Okay, the show is important, but not that
important. So you know, it clearly. This is this is
John C Dvorak: the kind of thing we have nowadays learn to code.
Everything's
Adam Curry: not even coding. It's some kid who builds it
anymore. My craft. Oh, I have a clip about that in a moment.
Actually, I have a clip I have a clip for you. I won't play well.
John C Dvorak: Before we do that. Let's listen to the CBS
version of the same report now yours do you have the most
reliable versions.
Unknown: After the dramatic mid air blowout of a door panel in
January, the FAA launched an audit of Boeing 737 production
process, Boeing failed 33 of 89 sections, including one dealing
with the same type of door panel. The FAA also found 97
incidents of alleged noncompliance the most common
was failing to follow Boeing's own standards and practices. The
audit comes as Boeing admitted to lawmakers last week it cannot
find paperwork documenting repairs performed on that Alaska
Airlines door panel saying it is likely that it was never
created. The NTSB investigation indicates the bolts holding that
door in place were not reinstalled. FAA also looked at
supplier spirit Aerosystems which makes the body of the 737
max. The company failed seven of 13 sections of that audit
inspectors flagged workers using a hotel key card to check a door
seal and Dawn dish soap as a lubricant. Boeing is planning to
comment on this DOJ investigation. But if
investigators where to find wrongdoing Boeing could
potentially face criminal charges. And they're already
facing a number of lawsuits from that Alaska Airlines incident
one seeking a billion dollars Nora
Chris I also want to ask you about this Boeing whistleblower
that was found dead in his car. What
do we know about that John Barnett was set to sit for a
deposition in a defamation case he had brought against Boeing
when he was found dead in his truck. The coroner in South
Carolina says it appears to be due to a self inflicted gunshot
wound. His attorneys are calling on the local police to fully
investigate what happened or
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, I'd forgotten the Dawn dish soap
that is beautiful. By the way, Dawn dish soap is used around
hill country for a number of things. It's
John C Dvorak: very it's yeah, I can see that. We have very
amazing surfactants an
Adam Curry: amazing product we use if you mix it with distilled
white vinegar and some what's the stuff you throw in the
bathtub? The salt, the Epsom salt and salt Yeah, if you mix
that It is a fantastic weed killer. So you don't get you
don't get your glyphosate leaking into the ground. Oh,
it's everyone used it here. And Dawn dish soap just by itself
diluted with a little bit of white vinegar, distilled white
vinegar. You You pour that into the red anthill kills him, which
is a very good word. And he'll, oh my god, we have red ants
around here for the summer air. And you do not repeat do not
want to step on a red ant hill.
John C Dvorak: I wouldn't think so. It's, I mean, but a day high
up in the air.
Adam Curry: About fire ants. I'm sorry, not red ants, fire ants.
John C Dvorak: What's different? And yes, I'm
Adam Curry: sorry, the fire ant. I said Red Hat.
John C Dvorak: Don't they make big hills, you can pretty hard
to step on one.
Adam Curry: Not if you're not looking. I mean, they're
everywhere. You could you could be used, you could be standing
in one and all of a sudden, oh, and then if they're climbing up
your your ankle, they'll bite you right away. And those things
they,
John C Dvorak: they they call a fire and a scar.
Adam Curry: I mean, I've scarring on my hand from one
time, I put my at a cocktail glass and I put it down on the
ground and we're chatting away. And I hadn't seen that all these
fire ants had walked up onto my class because it was sugar
sugary stuff in it. I pick it up and all sudden they're on my
hand and they I brushed them off, and they'd already beat me.
I still have scars. From the fire. No bite. Wow. Yeah.
Anyway, so Dawn soap. Another thing if you've got red wasps,
you can just put it into a spray bottle. And you can put it on
stream and you can just sit there and just zap them from a
distance. Don't you have to get that red
John C Dvorak: wasp? Yes. Yes. What's a red wasp?
Adam Curry: You do not want to mess with the red wasp.
John C Dvorak: You're living in Australia.
Adam Curry: Hey, man. It's the Hill Country baby. No mess
around. Anyway. Yeah, I think this is I think this is
industrial warfare. And they're just going now they're just
hitting Boeing as hard as they can. There's got to be I mean,
there's big contracts at play here. And you know, they've got
a hidden camera footage of Boeing employees saying I
wouldn't fly on those planes. Now we are we do drugs. We do
coke regarding the air in the in the parking lot and smoke some
we did lunch. Have you seen those? Oh, yeah. No, yeah. And I
saw a video of this. John Barnett. He did not look a guy
like a guy ready to kill himself. I mean, he seems he
seems pretty together.
John C Dvorak: But if you were the Euro bus people, the Airbus
euro, the Euro bus guys, the euro. But wouldn't it be cool
that you'd be the guys to send a hitman out? Yes. Even worse.
Adam Curry: I mean, at first I was thinking, you know, it can
be really stressful a lawsuit, you know, especially if you're
fighting a big corporation, but then I saw the guy like, and I
saw him talking like Nah, no, no, this guy was killed. This
guy was kids horrible. But the but it's on man it's on. They're
out to to ruin Boeing and Boeing's not doing it's only
John C Dvorak: recently that cause this this war?
Adam Curry: Well, they have more of anything. I can only think of
military contracts. It's all military stuff. It's just the
whole military. Has all the ability care. I mean, the the I
mean, what is where does Boeing really make its money? It's not
just in, in passenger aircraft. That's a big part of it. But
that's not all. I mean, we don't they make jets too. They must
provide something for jets. They make
John C Dvorak: a lot of military gear. Yeah. Yeah. I still think
the bulk of their cash is made with the big jets. Well, that's
going to end because he says 7787 We know
Adam Curry: we know from our, from our Navy guys who are
retiring like I'm training for Airbus. I'm not gonna train for
Boeing. I'm training for air buses. Which is crazy because
they're plastic airplanes. Also is the 87 Yeah, well, there you
go. But 87 reboots. it
John C Dvorak: reboots out of the blue by the way only one
report add that that was a detail had
Adam Curry: not heard that. That was very interesting that you
have to do you have to reset it you have to reboot it every 21
days.
John C Dvorak: Come on. That's that's like restarting the
routers. I
Adam Curry: wonder what they don't have Garmin do they don't
have Garmin Let me see 787 avionics let me see I'm sure you
can get different packages, but
John C Dvorak: you can probably ordered various packages
Adam Curry: Rockwell Collins
John C Dvorak: Rockwell Collins. yeah
Adam Curry: yeah, Rocco Santa the Rockwell Collins. That looks
like the all of Rockwell Collins who owns a somewhat must be
owned by some bigger company. But that's all. It's all
military guys. Rockwell
John C Dvorak: owns it. I think Rockwell is a publicly traded,
big company.
Adam Curry: That mean that's not cool. And you can get Collins
aviation gear and your GA aircraft. This is not good. This
is not good at all. Anyway, I want to talk for a second about
programmers. Because there was no standby Everybody get ready
to leave us. It's an Africa report. Oh, no. But I've slyly
combined Africa with an artificial intelligence report.
AI
Unknown: tools like chat GPT work almost like magic, but
there's no quick trick for building them. 1000s of workers
like Richard have spent months filtering toxic content out of
the data used to train open AI after reviewing scenes of child
abuse investi ality he's been left traumatized. It's difficult
work and AI subcontractor employees are paid less than one
euro an hour. Richard ended up quitting. Richard and three
other moderators decided it was time for change. They filed a
petition in Parliament. With the help of this lawyer. She
believes they must act fast as a growing number of companies set
up in Nairobi. They were attracted by Kenyans fluency in
English and their quality education. In this school
children are learning how to code. Today's class is on self
driving cars. A growing number of Kenyan children are learning
digital skills. The young company Digi Finzi now offers
this course in 10 different schools, innovators that hope to
climb the ladder and become the brains behind the technologies
of tomorrow. Not just the cogs in an American machine.
Adam Curry: That's right so you thought you're going to lose
your job to AI are you losing your job to a Nigerian some
Nigerian school kid is programming your Rockwell
Collins Avi avionics,
John C Dvorak: but now she mentioned I should mention this.
Rockwell Collins, just so we know. So we're gonna have to get
a buddy's letters. The company was acquired by United
Technologies in 2018 and now operates as part of Collins
aerospace, the subsidy, a subsidiary of the RT X
Corporation, formerly Raytheon. So it boils down to Raytheon.
Yeah, it always does.
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, speaking of AI, we have a new bill called
the Defiance act. This may be part of the Swift opera setup. I
Unknown: know we're all little just distraught about the
situation and we don't know how to handle it. Stevie
highter, a sophomore at Richmond Burton High School found out
Tuesday, there were disturbing photos of her circulating I felt
really violated and it was just really gross. To see it. This
was
the picture a fellow student is accused of altering using AI
technology using her face but swapping a nude body. A
lot of them were just like photos with friends from like
birthday party outings, there was a lot of homecoming and
prom. In this context, there's
definitely a need for quick actions the potential for harm
is, is great.
In the world of AI, there are video and photo swapping apps
that have come under fire, where a user can even crop someone's
face into an adult video creating pornographic images of
people without their consent. At the federal level. Congress is
currently considering legislation called the Defiance
act that would better regulate the AI world and deep fakes. And
this is really disturbing to their entire careers moving
forward in life college applications they're worried
about, they're worried about what if they do something
professional in the future in these images surface? That's
really scary for them
to take a psychological toll on victims. Since the technology is
so new, the law isn't clear cut. If a fake body attached to a
miner's photo is considered illegal
to me it falls right into child pornography. And that's exactly
in my opinion what it is I think it's creating it. I think it's
distributing it, I think that it should be, you know, charged
accordingly in my opinion.
Adam Curry: So the Defiance Act is an Act from Durbin, Graham
Klobuchar Hawley and an act to hold accountable those
responsible for the proliferation of non consensual
sexually explicit, deep fake images and videos. How about
this? How about you tell your kids not to put stuff online?
How about that? Yeah, how about some education here, just don't
post off You can't you can't legislate this
John C Dvorak: Well, it all will lead to identification. That's
what has to be in these bills.
Adam Curry: Well, this is what I keep telling you. But that is
that is the end game is always going to be ID to have an
account
John C Dvorak: that you can it's gonna take decades, there's
still too many workarounds. Now there's
Adam Curry: workarounds. I didn't say it would work. This
is why don't understand why why we're not on the same page with
this. Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean that we won't
have the legislation that you'd love to have everybody have an
ID. Ie identify all this stuff. They want it, they want it. They
love it. Yes, we need more of that. I don't understand why you
keep saying there's workarounds. Of course there's workarounds.
John C Dvorak: But what do I keep saying? Well, you don't
understand why I'm saying it.
Adam Curry: No, I don't because I'm not looking for a fix. I'm
looking for the government to do something evil. They just want
to have us all
John C Dvorak: why can I say that? There's workarounds if it
offends you so much. Because
Adam Curry: you you yourself was the guy you were doing a big
expos a a big write up about digital ID and then it just one
away and you keep saying there's workarounds? I thought that you
were writing a book about it. But why are we not writing a
book about it? So your writing is
John C Dvorak: a dream? It was a red book was very
Adam Curry: vivid, man. It was super vivid. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Yes. Oh, by the way that says you're talking
about software this might as well go to the big boys, the
guys who know what they're doing with software. Let's play the
ransomware clips. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah, this is getting better.
Unknown: The healthcare industry is still struggling to overcome
a February cyber attack that hit the IT company change
healthcare. The group behind the attack is part of a
professionalized ecosystem that profits off company's digital
security failings. And Paris Jenna McLaughlin reports.
On Wednesday, February 21, a relatively unknown IT company
called change healthcare announced it was the victim of a
cyber attack. The group of hackers behind it who go by the
name black hat, demanded a ransom of $22 million to return
the company's data. The hack was devastating. While change
healthcare isn't a household name. It plays a central role in
verifying and processing payments between insurance
companies and providers right now. According to a source with
knowledge of the situation. The company is still struggling to
bring basic functionalities back online. troublingly change
healthcare has said it hopes to start restoring those services
next week. The response is ongoing but the breach provides
a window into how these criminal ransomware gangs operate.
Adam Curry: Who is this breathy lady
John C Dvorak: believe is some NPR reporter and she likes to
speak
Adam Curry: if I find the reporting very poor. I mean we
have no idea how much I mean it's still locked into a million
it's right in that part. Oh yeah. Okay, and what they didn't
say it was Bitcoin she missed all these opportunities,
John C Dvorak: but who cares they 22,000,022 millions but
Adam Curry: what they pay in rubles they should just pay it
get rid of it. Dude, you fix age did if you listen
John C Dvorak: to part two of the clip
Unknown: rom elbowing the CEO of cybersecurity companies Signia,
has trashed black hat for years. Here's how he describes them.
What
makes them I would say unique is the viciousness if we can call
it of the attacks.
MobileMe says Blackhat sells its malicious code to affiliates
taking a cut of the profits. They even provide human
resources a platform to negotiate payments with victims
and a public leak site, the criminal ecosystem of ransomware
continues to thrive. That's partially because these groups
often live outside the reach of US law enforcement. A senior
Administration official tells NPR that many of these hackers
operate with impunity somewhere inside Russia, Black Hat emerged
out of the ashes of another group that might be familiar,
called Dark Side. In May 2021, that group attacked Colonial
Pipeline, leaving half the eastern seaboard without fuel
for days. At that time, ransomware groups were at least
publicly hesitant to target critical infrastructure. But all
that seems to have changed in recent years here. So Steve
Cagle, the CEO of the healthcare cybersecurity company, clear
water, described this shift in a briefing for the healthcare
industry in early March.
The other thing I'll mention about blackcat is this is an
organization that the FBI was able to, in some respects,
enforce, enforce seizure of their sites. They reemerged and
we reported a couple of months ago, they removed all
restrictions against against hospitals and practically
speaking encouraged their affiliates to go after hospital
wasn't raised their commission rate to 90%.
The FBI is annual internet crime report confirms that health care
and public health for the top sectors impacted by ransomware
in 2023. As for Blackhat, they actually received that $22
million ransom, presumably from change healthcare or its parent
company. The group then disappeared. So experts say it's
members are likely to rebrand and wreak havoc again, wait
Adam Curry: a minute, so have they did they give them the
unlock key?
John C Dvorak: The way they described it as they gave them
their data back.
Adam Curry: I have a report to you. Let me see if it brings us
some clarity here
Unknown: this morning. There's also some information about the
Department of Health and Human Services going to put change
health care on the operating table. Now, last month change
health care was hit with what the American Hospital
Association calls quote, the most significant and
consequential cyber attack on the US healthcare system in
American history and quote, now the insurance billing firm,
which is what that company does, is roughly involves roughly 1/3
of us patient records and the HHS will investigate into
whether change healthcare properly protected that data in
compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act. But the impact actually goes beyond just
that cyber attack.
If you're looking at a copay discount card, you're probably
not going to be able to use that at this point in time until the
system is fixed.
A spokesperson for change healthcare and its parent
company UnitedHealth Group says that it will cooperate with the
HHS investigation. I
Adam Curry: don't know man, this made it worse. Yes. It sounds
like Klaus Schwab was right and
Unknown: improve preparedness for potential cyber pandemic.
Adam Curry: Yeah, maybe cyber pandemic. So
John C Dvorak: I don't know about you, but early days of
computing. In this, let's say mid 50s. On to the 70s or
microcomputers. Hey, yeah,
Adam Curry: I don't have any opinion on the
John C Dvorak: the normal procedure and you know, this,
the normal procedures you'd have complete, you wouldn't have
backups, you'd have archives. So you could Reese, you know, and
it will be done continually on tape. And you if you lost the
system, because everyone thought these things were going to work
very well. You could just re grab an archive from yesterday
and you set yourself back up. Yeah. Do any of that now, are
they just random backups or continuous backups are the kind
of backups that you have to assume the machine keeps
working? And I mean, why where's the backups on these things? The
guys pull down the system, they take all the errors just say
they erased all the disks. Shouldn't they be able to
company be able to reestablish using backup data, a backup and
a backup to that backup and backup to the backup to the
backup? Yeah.
Adam Curry: That's how it used to be? I don't know. Well, first
of all, I'm going to push back a little bit when we had to go and
get the tape that meant usually had to drive to the mountain.
You know, oh, man, he's got to get the tape. And it would take
48 It would take 48 hours to restore from tape. Restoring
from tape took a long time that it was but I don't know. I think
everything is Cloud Storage. Oh, just throw it in the cloud
incremental backups? I don't know. I really don't know. I
don't I think we've gotten to just such a cavalier attitude
about stuff. But this is this is Microsoft. I think Microsoft
stuff is just they just locking it all up. And no, there's
probably no good practices. There's too much data people
don't know how to handle it. I I suffer with our dudes named Ben.
This got to be incredibly difficult to manage at all. And
we and we really don't know if we're not getting good
information about what really happened. Maybe some guy just
screwed up and said I was ransomware and took 22 million.
You don't know
John C Dvorak: it'd be a swan smart guy you don't know.
Adam Curry: You really don't know. I have a couple of topics
to discuss. No,
Unknown: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
trends.
Adam Curry: There's a lot of trends Maoism stuff popping up.
Want to make sure we talk about it. Just some headlines. Trans
women suicide rate doubles after vaginal vaginoplasty new study
finds. So the that one's off the table. Would you rather have a
dead son versus a living daughter? And this one is from
Gallup is disturbing. 30% of Gen Z women identify as LGBTQ 30%
Which Which to me proves that this is just, I just don't want
to feel out of place. I want to be a part of of the gang. And I
don't want to say I'm straight. And so you just throw in a queue
or I'm a B, I'm a queue. I'm a day then them. I got my
pronouns. So this I think it's coming to an end. I
John C Dvorak: have a feeling I have a feeling. You've been
saying this for weeks on end? Yeah, I
Adam Curry: feel it's coming. And then the big news is, is
there's a new GamerGate and since we kind of
John C Dvorak: will before you get off the topic you just
started I do have a clip for it, which is pretty blockers clip.
Adam Curry: The Gamergate is a part of it, but let's hear that.
Unknown: Alright, so some good news in the fight for medical
prudence. Britain's National Health Service, the NHS has
banned the use of puberty blockers for children who claim
to have gender dysphoria, while fewer than 100 children and
teens are currently on blockers in the UK, the number of young
people refer to NHS Gender Identity Development Services
has ballooned by more than 16 100% in a decade. For more on
this landmark decision and what it might mean here in Australia,
I'm joined by journalist Bernard Lane, who covers this topic so
well, for gender clinic news. Bernard joins me now, Bernard,
take us through this actual decision. What prompted it?
Well, Peter,
there's a few elements to it, first of all, an independent
expert review of the evidence for puberty blockers, which
found that the evidence was very weak and uncertain. We don't
know if they're safe. We don't know what effect they have. And
also, you mentioned the spike in patient numbers and the change
in the patient profile. Suddenly, a lot of teenage
girls, that's the background to it. And so the National Health
Service, England has decided that the puberty blockers should
no longer be offered as a routine treatment to young
people who are distressed about their gender. Instead, there'll
be non invasive, psychological and social interventions used
now that though they're closing down the Tavistock clinic,
finally on March 31, and through these new regional clinics,
which will take over the gender service, they will not be giving
puberty blockers as routine treatment. Yeah,
Adam Curry: so I saw this, this news. But
John C Dvorak: I should mention the guy that this goes on for a
while I didn't clip too much. But they mentioned that of all
the countries that are all jacked up about this and into
it. Australia makes us look like weak sisters. Oh, really? Yeah.
Australia's completely into it. Which brings in the idea that
there's a Maoist thing involved because because the Chinese are
very concerned about Australia, they, you know, they would their
sphere of influence and yeah, that's a good way sweet way to
go.
Adam Curry: They got the subs. So you know, non invasive
psychiatric help. I mean, does that mean they're going to jack
them up on drugs and other drugs? Like, you know,
John C Dvorak: it sounded like they tried to say counseling by
habit.
Adam Curry: And anti sad pills. Maybe? I don't know. The Wall
Street Journal had an interesting article. You
remember the the acronym dink? dinks?
John C Dvorak: Danke. Double income? No, kids. Yes. Yes.
Adam Curry: So and this is a big problem with and you know, my
stance is we need to, we need to have many more we need to be
making children unless you just want to open the borders because
that's that's the plan. If you don't have children, then then
you just better better expect that to happen. But dinks is no
longer the preferred term. The dinks preferred dyno which
stands for dual income no offspring because we can't say
kids I mean that that makes it to real dinky What do you think
that stands for?
John C Dvorak: Double Income No Kids yet.
Adam Curry: Oh, are you reading it now? Did you pick up How
about sinks,
John C Dvorak: sinks yes sinks single income no kid very
Adam Curry: good. And then my favorite dink wads?
John C Dvorak: That would be you know,
Adam Curry: double income. No kids with a dog didn't quads. I
just want I want to meet some Dean quad. I nailed it. He did.
Hey, we got kids.
John C Dvorak: Who don't have kids live in there. You got a
dog?
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, but they we have kids and we don't have
doubly and we don't have double income anymore. You know, Tina
has retired from corporate life.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so you'll say you'd be what was thinking?
Think, think Watch, watch.
Adam Curry: Someone just didn't quad just sounds like dickwad
just doesn't sound good. Anyway, I wanted to just mention the
GamerGate two seems to be happening. Because that's in my
mind. We missed a lot of that. And that's where a lot of this
we purposely missed it. Yeah, but it's it is I feel I've
always felt this part of the genesis of the bullying and a
lot of the DEI and the you know, it's not fair and women this and
men that and toxic masculinity. And so I just wanted to mention
because I saw it on on the mastodon, I saw someone talking
about sweet baby. And I was like, What is this sweet baby
thing? So Supposedly, the you know, and people, I don't know
anything about gaming, I'll say that upfront. But I do know
steam. Steam is kind of the gaming platform, you can get a
whole bunch of games there and people make games but the games
is all steam has games as steam. I think I have a Steam app at
one point for some virtual reality tests, which sucks. But
the sweet baby Inc, there's the apparently they're a consulting
firm who consult with games and game makers and and I make began
this wrong, but I think this is what happened. And they make
games that are all you know, that are appropriate. And you
know, they have women as the as the heroes and you know, there
were some LGBTQ whatever. Then sweet baby Inc is basically
woke. So some user on Steam made a playlist of all the woke games
that had been consulted by sweet baby Inc. and then and then the
sweet baby Inc, tried to get that user D platformed. And at
the end of it all, it's Trump's fault. That's basically what it
boils down to. And if there's anything else anyone wants to
email me about, let me know. Because I don't want to miss
Gamergate, too. I feel that we we did a disservice to the
producers by missing GamerGate the first time
John C Dvorak: we didn't miss, quote, midweek. We just ignored
it.
Adam Curry: We didn't understand it. I remember we didn't
understand I know
John C Dvorak: we're revisiting past history. I can always re
engineer it. Now. We didn't undress ability and
Adam Curry: understand. And then the last in, in this particular
episode of trans Maoism, the Daughters of the American
Revolution has now decided to allow trans women into into
their group. Wow. No. Wow, indeed.
Unknown: I mean, whoa.
Adam Curry: That surprised me. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's very subversive. Yeah. A lot of this
going on. Yeah. one bad apple gets in there. Next thing, you
know. Well, we
Adam Curry: have on that same track, we have another black
woman who is being D platformed. Or being blamed. Just as Moe
said, you watch. The black women who were crushed, pushed to the
forefront and are being blamed for everything and they're all
being taken down in our grand season of reveal. This is the
mayor of Dalton, Illinois.
Unknown: We've been reporting for months on controversies that
have clouded Mayor Tiffany vineyards administration of that
small South suburb, the mayor, her security detail and several
of her allies, went to Las Vegas last May to attend a conference
to lower retail business to town. Now we've obtained a
complaint filed with the Illinois Department of Human
Rights and which one of hundreds aides on that trip accuses a
trustee of a sexual encounter after she blacked out and had
been unable to provide consent. The woman says she later had
been fired after reporting the incident to the mayor and a
separate complaint filed with the Department of Human Rights
adult and police officer on the mayor security detail says he
had been demoted for coming forward to say the trustee
called and FaceTimed with him to brag about his sexual exploits.
We're not naming the trustee because he hasn't been charged
with a crime. But tonight he's telling WGN investigates the
woman's story is fabricated, and they simply tried to help her
while she was intoxicated and high on drugs. Trustee saying
outside investigators hired by the village cleared him of
wrongdoing. Mayor Hendricks publicist declined to comment.
The Department of Human Rights says it has not substantiated
these complaints but has started an investigation.
Adam Curry: It really is that the DEI stuff was falling apart
Boeing's being all the problems of Boeing are being blamed on
dei the problems that united being blamed on dei even though
it probably isn't that but when you virtue signal like the dude
in the dress at United what's his name the CEO
John C Dvorak: Oh cam KIRBY I think when when you
Adam Curry: virtue signal like that, you're gonna get blamed.
You're gonna get
John C Dvorak: by his to get Unitas yes United see what Go
back to that clip you just played. Okay. This is a small
town mayor. Yes. What is this small town mayor doing floating
around Vegas with a security detail living
Adam Curry: it up Baby.
John C Dvorak: Detail and is it finished off in the report? She
has a publicist? Yes, of course. What sort of small town mayor
has a publicist
Adam Curry: is beautiful. This beautiful by though I told you I
was a paying
John C Dvorak: the security detail and the publicist out of
public funds?
Adam Curry: Yes. Have they had the receipts and everything.
1000s of dollars for hotel rooms and meal. I know
John C Dvorak: what I'm talking about the publicist what it is.
It's just beyond me. But you know where they should go after
some of these women. They're abusive. They abused power.
Adam Curry: I'm not running for mayor anymore. I'm decided not
to watch. I know, I know. I'm disappointing. YOU. i
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you are.
Adam Curry: I took a look at what the mayor has to do. Like
John has a lot of meetings. I probably can be more effective
doing a podcast here.
John C Dvorak: How many meetings? Are we talking about
Adam Curry: all meetings. It's crazy. The amount of meetings.
It's like, I don't want
John C Dvorak: to be governors like when George W. Bush was
governor of Texas. He was only working two months out of the
entire year as governor. This
Adam Curry: is Fredericksburg, Texas. There's a lot going on
here. Then I don't want to deal with that. I want it to be
helpful to the community. I think I can do other things to
be helpful. I can be the the podcast,
John C Dvorak: the vape shop.
Adam Curry: There you go.
John C Dvorak: That's a meeting.
Adam Curry: Then one update on the Georgia issue speaking of
dei in law enforcement. Meanwhile,
Unknown: a Georgia judge today dismissed six charges in the
election interference case involving Mr. Trump saying they
were too vague, including a charge related to this phone
call where the former president pressured Georgia Secretary of
State
I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more that we
have
the judge left the door open for prosecutors to refile those
charges. Mr. Trump has pleaded
not guilty.
Adam Curry: This is all falling apart. That was kind of the core
of the whole Georgia thing. Wasn't that part
John C Dvorak: of it? I mean, the whole GA things falling
apart because Danny Willis, another black woman that you mo
would point out, they're going after because she's corrupt?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's some of these. Some of these people
are simply corrupt. I'd say Letitia James in New York,
another black woman is corrupt. She's a corrupt person. Yeah.
And I added a new What does mo ever discuss why the dick? Is
it? black man's been passed over for corrupted black females in
certain positions on
Adam Curry: cash had noticed there's there's few black men in
any positions because black women, preferably black lesbian
women have been pushed to the forefront of everything of every
major movement. Black Lives Matter. Exactly.
John C Dvorak: It's absolutely true. But who's doing the
pushing Soros?
Adam Curry: Well, yes. Well, I mean, now it's no longer GEORGE
But Alex, but all I mean, this a huge organization. This. I mean,
just if you just look at the tentacles, the Soros Open
Society Institute has in Texas alone, it's crazy. There must be
40 or 50 Different people in school districts in DBAs
offices. It's real. It's unbelievable. This
John C Dvorak: is why as I wrote in a sub stat column, one of my
last that I wrote the divorce act as substack.com. We should
re Institute the now defunct a house on American Activities
Committee to look into this. Yeah, these are UnAmerican
Activities. Yes, yes. Corrupt black women. All over the place.
A
Adam Curry: friend of mine was telling me about Sloan
Kettering. That you know, Sloan Kettering is very racist. Like,
oh, yeah, we can't use that. We can't use that particular
company to outsource because they have too many men. Not
enough black people. And then they hired this woman who was
black woman who you know, oh, she's perfect for the job. And
she she couldn't do the job. She had to resign it's it's it's so
wrong for everybody. And hurts black women to wear specially I
should say. This just you know. I'm glad I'm glad. I think the
the airline thing is probably the best thing that could happen
for anti dei because you could talk about it a million times.
But when people are convinced that because of Dei, your
airline or your airplane is no longer safe, that makes a
difference. That stuff will stop. And it should just be
merit based. Hello. Yeah, anyway, one more like
John C Dvorak: Mark live in America.
Adam Curry: Great one. Did want to play one local story. Where's
it here? Local story? Because we have South by Southwest in
Austin, yes South by Southwest. It was really going well. I
mean, they were big names here this year and people were
digging it and it was it was kind of Yeah, I mean, I didn't
see any of it because any smart person stays away from Austin
during South By. But I was like, Well, it sounds like this was a
pretty good year for South by Southwest until it wasn't
Unknown: annual South by South Music Festival in Austin is
looking a lot different this year. Dozens of performers and
even speakers canceling their appearances all because of an
issue that goes far beyond the Austin City Limits. More than 60
bands are now boycotting because the festival is sponsored by the
US military department and also some defense companies. The
boycott is a move that some artists say shows solidarity
with Palestinians in Gaza. And as the US government continues
to support Israel in that ongoing conflict.
It was really hard decision to come to we kind of went back and
forth. I think that we're powerful together and that's
really clear.
Governor Greg Abbott reacted to the boycott on Social Media
Writing quote by don't come back. We are proud of the US
military in Texas if you don't like it don't come here. And
South by Southwest responded to the governor statements saying
it does not agree with Abbott adding quote, we have and will
continue to support human rights for all.
Adam Curry: Great, of course, we all we must also remember that
South by Southwest really started all of the lock downs of
everything in America. When they said we're canceling South by
that's when everything folded. They were the tipping point and
that was Adler our previous mayor in Austin. To those people
whatever happened to him, they went back to being a millionaire
real estate lawyer after all these cool deals.
John C Dvorak: My favorite Clip of the Day is the pot eating
rats.
Unknown: Thank goodness very cheap, and Kirkpatrick says rats
are getting in and eating drugs in the evidence room at NOPD
headquarters. It's just one of the reasons that she says they
need to find a new one Eleanor to bone is joining us live now
on what is prompting that move other than the obvious rats
eating evidence Eleanor Katie
rats, roaches, no AC broken elevators. The NRP headquarters
building here on Broad Street is decaying. That's why the city is
looking for a new space. A space where rats don't eat evidence.
The rat eating or marijuana they're all high.
You heard that right. rats eating marijuana from the
evidence room in OPD chief and Kirkpatrick says sometimes staff
come into work and find rat droppings on their desk
when we say we value our employees you can't say that and
at the same time allow people to work in conditions that are not
acceptable. I
Adam Curry: was not going to give it to you until I heard the
rats are high so yes you will get a clip of the clip
John C Dvorak: that goes on this is a scam of some sort to get a
new completely new police building
Unknown: yes
John C Dvorak: well it's good for me and it's like you can
poison rats you can trap them there's rat traps you can stop
this and roaches you know you can do the same thing of
bringing a exterminator in and get rid of the roaches and the
rats but they're not now now now the rats are in the pot and
there's we're losing evidence and we got to move to a new
place because there's no good
Adam Curry: or the evidence go I don't know man the rat ate it
John C Dvorak: yeah which aspect what happened to the what
happened all this pot
Adam Curry: and with that rats I'd like to thank you for your
courage say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in
the two World Order say hello to my friend on the other end the
one morning mr. Johnson
John C Dvorak: Mr Adam curry in the morning at ships at sea the
boots on the ground the feet in the air the subject of the one
the days and nights out there.
Adam Curry: I was gonna say in the mall oh there it is in the
morning to the trolls and the troll room. Did on the on the
let me see how we did on the previous show. The previous show
we had let me see I put this in my notes here. 15 mean 86 On
Thursday, and we're down we're down 1572 I think it's the
Africa clip we should have played the rat clip before the
Africa clip that was our mistake well in the morning to you
trolls you can join these these merry band of trolls listening
live by going to oh wait Is there a troll countless a
website for troll count what is this? This is interesting this
this cotton gin made a made a plot. Oh my god as loading up
there. Oh wow. Oh, this is cool. If you go to draw the movie. You
want to see this if you go to troll count dot cotton gin dot
x, y z, which is normally for porn. It shows you a nice graph
of when the trolls come in when they peek and really lino is a
troll troll calm you get troll count dot cotton gin dot XYZ
This is troll porn. This is great. Oh man, it shows it shows
all it shows the troll count over the last four hours.
Dynamite. Anyway, well, John's taken a look at that graph, you
can go to troll room.io. And that's where you can join the
stream live. It's 24/7 you can jump into the troll room there
and chat along. Of course we always thank Mr. Darren O'Neill,
who was there and shy RAC and does two hours of the Rockwell
pre show and gets everybody in the mood gets them all pumped.
And you can also use a modern podcast app, which will give you
the alert the minute we go live any of these shows can use that
many of them already do. In fact, Darren Hardy does planet
rage with a deep voice guy over there, Larry, from that Larry
show, and they they make big use of this.
John C Dvorak: I think every troll that heard that URL is
loaded because like it will load it has brought to site down. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah, we got slash dotted. You go go to podcast
apps.com. And today, I will recommend podcast guru. Podcast
guru me recommended that last time No, no, I know I've
recommended caste thematic last time. Yeah, that's a new one
every single time. I'm gonna recommend a secondary one. I'm
going to recommend true fans. True fans fans? Yes, only fans
know it's true fans.com. Now that is a web app. So it's also
a desktop. It's a website, but you can load it as a web app.
True fans is actually quite cool. They got a lot of
interactivity over there on true fans.com But also, podcast guru.

But to me at least, I like it. I like the Art Generator. I like
our all of our wet I was I was up with Void zero he was up at
3am his time working on something. It looked like
something had broken. He's a dude named Ben. You know he was
I said, hey, something's broken. I gotta have this fixed before
the show tomorrow. He was up. Fix it. I mean, this is this is
a lot
John C Dvorak: back to bed. Yeah. What was what was the
problem? What happened?
Adam Curry: It wasn't. Dolores wasn't syncing with the other
service. We had a way to Dolores issue. That's the name of the
the main server we upload to. But this is time and talent that
is being delivered to us because of the value we put out there
with no further expectation other than love. We just love
you. We want you to have fun and happy life. Now, a lot of
artists like to return that value by me King dynamite album
art because it's something that looks great when you promote the
show. Every new episode has it. It looks fantastic in the modern
podcast apps. Our last show was episode 1641. We titled that one
lock the clock was of course, Daylight Saving Time Only in
America for two and a half more weeks until it happens in
Europe. So people may have been showing up late for today's
show. Sorry about that. It was hard to find any good art.
John C Dvorak: There wasn't any.
Adam Curry: Well, we chose sir Parker Polly Black Knight Parker
Polly's hot mic, because it was a pretty piece is pretty. But I
gotta tell you ever since people started using AI, the quality
has just gone to not that AI is a problem because it's a tool
that you can use. But if you if you have no talent of humor
ideas, now Scott AI is not going to provide a no it's not just
because AI can create something pretty doesn't mean that the
output will be great. So as an example, there was nothing
really nothing. No, there
John C Dvorak: was absolutely nothing I mean, in a hot mic as
far as I was concerned wasn't but you know, we that was kind
of a Hail Mary made as opposed to going into the archives and
trying to dig something up.
Adam Curry: We know that but I noticed that on the New Art
Generator. Thank you Paco. There's no
John C Dvorak: evergreens tap Evergreens are gone. There's no
evergreens. I don't know what happened to him.
Adam Curry: So you can't upload the evergreens anymore, I guess.
I mean, so the stuff that was there was let me see we had some
Biden's a monkey with symbols. Was that comics or Blogger
probably Oh, no. No. QUB the boob Coupe de boob like aI

health.com and they denied me coverage they denied me to join
