Adam Curry: Pick me Ben. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. Sunday,
April 7 2020. For this year award winning keyword nation
media assassination episode 1649. This
Unknown: is no agenda,
Adam Curry: enjoying a glimpse mania and broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA
Region number six. In the morning, everybody I'm Adam
curry
John C Dvorak: here from Northern Silicon Valley where I
don't feel a day over 90 I'm John C. Dvorak
Adam Curry: and Bushkill think the best line was in the
newsletter where you said congratulate John for making it
so far.
John C Dvorak: Well talking about making it so far I have an
appropriate clip. Oh, okay. What you got this clip is the ask you
a question in advance is the oldest man secrets the oldest
man now it's supposedly because we don't know who this probably
guys in Tibet that are 150
Adam Curry: oldest man in the world and supposedly, yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: in England right now. What do you think? Do they
always have a key to success? Yes.
Adam Curry: Okay. Can I guess? Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: the idea. laugh every day laughs laughs
Adam Curry: No, that's I would have thought that.
John C Dvorak: You would never guessed this in a million years.
You might get a hit because he's in the UK but you probably still
wouldn't get it. The
Unknown: world's oldest man says the secret to his long life is
locked moderation and fish and ships every Friday. 111 year old
Englishman John Alfred Thomas wood has been confirmed as the
new holder of the title by Guinness World Records. That
follows the death of the Venezuelan record holder Juan
Vincent De Perez, this month at the age of 114. Born in
Liverpool in 1912, a few months after the sinking of the Titanic
tennis fluid is a retired accountant. Wow, no, I
Adam Curry: didn't see that one coming. Fish
John C Dvorak: in greasy. Greasy fish and chips
Adam Curry: every Friday tells you something. What's your
secret? John, you're so spry and chipper and with it. What's your
secret?
John C Dvorak: Bordeaux.
Adam Curry: There you go. Hey, happy birthday.
John C Dvorak: Thank you very much. I guess it turns out that
Darren Oh Neil's birthday is tomorrow and eclipse day.
Adam Curry: I know. I know. It's weird. He gets to celebrate the
end of the world. Great. Birthday. And in the end. And of
course, the reason we had a special thank you again, sir.
Cumference for putting together the Red Book special. Which a
lot of people had one complaint about?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I sounded like I was smoking a cigar. And
it's like,
Adam Curry: the sound doesn't sound right. It's some of these
clips were like 14 years old. When when we had all we had was
Skype and it would go into am mode remember those days? But
yeah, yeah, it would have a great connection. We start
recording
Unknown: for you.
Adam Curry: We had a we had a lot wrong. I had a lot wrong,
but there was a lot right too. We definitely foreshadowed some
things. It was an interesting episode. I appreciate it
circumference for doing that. So the reason that we had that
special show is because you were giving your daughter J away on
her wedding
John C Dvorak: away.
Adam Curry: Give it away and is she gone now? Is she is she out
of your life? Is it done?
John C Dvorak: She did the show notes today.
Adam Curry: I know. I know she's in our life but it now she's
still living with you
John C Dvorak: know, she hasn't been living with me for a long
time. We live in a house up in roadeo. Oh, I didn't I didn't
get the memo. I will say there was a funny moment during the
ceremony they had some might was the I don't know if it's
universal life guy, whoever it was. dogwalk says at the end he
says by the powers invested by by to me by the State of
California and some website. Got a big laugh.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's funny. I like it. I'm like now they go on
honeymoon.
Unknown: No, not yet. Okay, because then we then
Adam Curry: who's gonna do the spreadsheet? That's all I care
about.
John C Dvorak: You can't go no, you can always put it off
looking. Weekend some other days. fly to Paris. So now
Adam Curry: did this mean that because of these festivities,
everyone knew I was all everyone's all fast and a must
and about about the wedding. That was your birthday. Kind of
a second act.
John C Dvorak: My birthday was the next day. Yes. So Yeah,
kinda. I mean, the wedding was a huge party blowout.
Adam Curry: Great. Great. Well, I'm glad and they're still
together.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so far. They made it a week. Not quite a
week three days.
Adam Curry: Well, a lot happened while while we took and it was
very I thought it was weird. I didn't feel right because of
course I wasn't on vacation or anything. Actually got up
regular show day time I alarm went off. I'm like, I was wrong.
What's wrong? What is good? I started to start going through
emails like hey, yeah, I haven't gotten emails from this guy or
that guy what's going on? And then I figured it out. No, but
what happened was very disturbing. I received the mark
of the beast.
John C Dvorak: But yeah, it was that mean? Oh,
Adam Curry: I got it out of the blue. I got a Twitter checkmark.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you watch? Yes. And you didn't pay for it?
No,
Adam Curry: I in fact, I got a little notice that said, Because
you are a special influencer. We've given you this for what is
ironic seeing is that for 10 years, I tried to get verified.
And, you know, the hate out of Twitter was so large that you
know, they there
John C Dvorak: was there was a person at Twitter that did not
like it was obvious for sure. And
Adam Curry: and, you know, I heard that well, if you have, I
think it was like if you have 2500 verified people who are
following you, and I'm looking at my list, I got like over
90,000 said probably in there, but nothing happened. So I
didn't think much of it. And then all of a sudden, this shows
I
John C Dvorak: have over 100,000 And I didn't get the blue
checkmark. And I know I have over 2500 verified and I had the
blue checkmark from the get go and I don't have it anymore. And
you do No, I think
Adam Curry: I think you have I think you have I don't think so.
Yes you do. Yes. You do. homos I can do real Devorah Yes. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. Yes, you do.
Adam Curry: Let me check you there it is. No, yes, you are
verified. Which means that you can edit your tweets. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's basically what you get. Which I could come
does come in handy.
Adam Curry: So we're both we're both marked men
John C Dvorak: I'm gonna pay for this subscription anyway. Why
just to see the what because I use it to vote for one thing
then no authority is going anywhere and it's not very good.
And to see if I get more send your hate please send your
Adam Curry: hate to at John at no authority dot social.
John C Dvorak: Yes. Well, I already went back and forth with
Aaron are about this or some guy that hates this show. He hates
me hates you. And I said, Well, we'll get rid of this guy. No,
he says no, because it's free speech. And so I said, Okay,
good. So it's not really a no agenda site. So what there was,
Adam Curry: no now doesn't make any difference now. And but I
just
John C Dvorak: wanted to see if you pay the money, you pay the
bribe. If you get your numbers change, if the if the results
change when you post something, you get more, which is good,
because I post the show there. I want to see if it gets more
retweets and the rest see if it makes a difference. I don't know
man seems unlimited. Right? I'm gonna give it a three or four
month test period seems unlikely. seems unlikely. No,
you never know you had to test they're not going to tell you.
Adam Curry: Of course the earthquake machine ripped up and
caused quite a stir in New York and New Jersey and the tri state
area that oh the good you do have a clip this. I lived in New
York and in New Jersey for many years and I've never witnessed
anything, anything like that. That was my
John C Dvorak: my feeling of course as a Californian.
Adam Curry: What 530 people and
Unknown: earthquake rattling New Jersey sending shockwaves across
the eastern seaboard report saying 10s of millions of people
feeling the tremor this morning and today's David Lamm is in New
York City with more on this story.
On Friday, a brief and abrupt earthquake rattled New Jersey
and parts of New York. This footage shows a dog enjoying a
sun bath on the Windows until a tremor I
Adam Curry: can't believe you got that cliff shows
Unknown: hilarious on high alert. elsewhere. In this house
frames were seen shivering as shivering plunged off the shelf,
and a brief jittery moments inside this coffee shop.
Preliminary reports indicate it was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake.
According to the US Geological Survey. It took place before
10:30am near Lebanon, New Jersey, just 50 miles west of
New York City. But more than 42 million people reportedly felt
it across the eastern seaboard reaching from the big app you
know,
Adam Curry: that's an interesting little tidbit he
throws out there. Oh 40 million people what did they count them
that everyone go to a website and say, yep, a thumbs up. I
John C Dvorak: felt it. Well, you know, if you if you do feel
an earthquake, you should you're obliged. It seems to me to go to
Google and Google up U. S. G. 's earthquake report. And it'll
take you to a site where you can report the earthquake,
Unknown: but more than 42 million people reportedly felt
it across the E Eastern Seaboard reaching from the Big Apple all
the way down to Washington DC. I'm here in New York City, which
is about 45 miles east of the epicenter of the earthquake. Now
I spoke to some folks and they said some some people felt it
some didn't Oh board here they're literally passed
Adam Curry: over this clip from like, they're gonna have this
man on the street.
John C Dvorak: Every every show at Fox did it and beat everybody
did it. This is just one of the many examples. It's like it's so
screwy that everybody has to go did you feel it? Did you feel
it? You feel that feel and in California we're going What is
wrong with these people reactions?
Unknown: You my foreman said Do you feel that and like feel what
you know, because we're working construction or I feel like this
thing's moving people vibrating. We can feel it and then all
sudden I start getting text messages from people in South
Carolina.
It was just a shake, you know, not like that anything was
moving but it was just kind of shaking. Everything
lights was shaking and the screen was shaking. We were
shaking. Officials
said so far there's no major damage or injuries. But the
urged residents to stay alarms.
John C Dvorak: Earthquakes don't happen every day. Hold on a
second stop that clip. That was That was interesting. Good cash
says they urge residents to stay not alert alarmed. Stay alarmed,
Unknown: lever shaking. Officials said so far there's no
major damage or injuries. But the urged residents to stay
alarmed.
Adam Curry: This fits perfectly with what are the algos telling
you to stay alarmed about today?
Unknown: Earthquakes don't happen every day in New York. So
this can be extremely dramatic. We know how this can get you.
We're ready for the unexpected. This is New York City.
Adam Curry: I like that that should be our nice new slogan.
Stay alarm citizen. I like it. Of course this wiped off the
news of 900 people dying in the earthquake in Taiwan. No one
cares about that. You see those buildings? Oh,
John C Dvorak: beautiful. Oh,
Adam Curry: my goodness. Well,
John C Dvorak: I was in an earthquake in Taiwan, who
incidentally?
Adam Curry: Well, I mean, this is why people tune into the
show. They come for the media deconstruction, but they stay
for Jhansi Dvorak earthquake stories.
John C Dvorak: They talk. Yes, they do. They talk about the old
the previous big earthquake in Taiwan was the seventh one I was
in Taipei, when it happened is just off the coast. I'm in the
Hyatt Regency I met one of the computer comm tech show I
believe. And I'm laying in bed and it took place in the early
morning hours and so it starts this room starts to move out I'm
giving you about a three foot radius is big is a big
earthquake, and it but everything in Taiwan people have
to realize is set like San Francisco that everything's on
ball bearings and they do a really good job of building
buildings that are designed to withstand anything short of an
aid. So things started rolling around big time and it lasts
about I'd say 30 to 40 seconds I'm laying in bed and this is
going around my getting up and it stopped. I checked to make
sure I had all my limbs and went right back to sleep like a good
Californian does. Well,
Adam Curry: you'll remember that I was in the Washington DC
earthquake the one that cracked the Washington Monument on the
think the original Hot Pockets tour and I was on the eighth
floor of a hotel. And of course that was an earthquake that was
an explosion in the underground tunnels we all know that so I've
kind of got to wonder what this was in New York
John C Dvorak: well you know the funny thing that they make a big
fuss about this crappy quake which was looping around I like
it so they make it big first of all, but nobody mentioned that
there is fracking that goes on Yeah,
Adam Curry: that was that was my first thought was fracking
anybody Jersey I'm sure
John C Dvorak: there's a fracking website couldn't find
any sources where this right around the area there but but
fracking causes this sort of level of earthquake out of the
blue and it's possible but and with all these environmentalists
and people moaning and groaning about one thing or another you'd
think that would come up in the conversation but no, instead we
get tweet after tweet about disproves climate change.
Adam Curry: No, no, I saw the exact same thing. NBC see where
it was it. Climate change potential impact NBC New York
long periods of flood can cause water levels to rise, leading to
possible landslides. Those slides can lubricate faults.
This is I love though lubricate is such a good word. It can
lubricate faults and may account for a higher frequency of
quakes, explained Dr. Marsh cellos. But Dr. Park indicated
the continuous rise in sea levels can increase the amount
of pressure exerted on the Earth's shelves and coastlines,
resulting in mostly scattered and infrequent quakes with long
lead times. Okay, boys. Well since you got me on that tip,
let's go straight to some climate change because we have
an update an important update to an important number. How many
Hiroshima bombs are we throwing into the air every single day
According to Al Gore? Can you remember the numbers?
John C Dvorak: Something like 500,000 a day or? Well, yes,
that
Adam Curry: was true in 2015 as
Unknown: would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima class atomic
bombs exploding every day. That was in 2015 2018. And it now
traps as much extra heat energy every day, as would be released
by 500,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every day
and now 2024 We're building up the amount of heat trapping
capacity so much that today we trapped as much extra heat, as
would be released by 750. Class atomic bombs, exploding on the
Earth every 24 hours every
Adam Curry: day every day 750,000 Hiroshima bombs and the
gore gaslighting didn't stop there and
Unknown: that extra heat is raising temperatures,
threatening to make much larger areas of the earth
physiologically unlivable, generating a massive flow of
climate refugees migrating across international borders as
many as a billion in this century. According to the Lancet
Commission, melting the ice a study reported in the journal
Nature II esterday recalculates the amount of ice on Greenland
is melting 30 million tons per hour. I mean, this is crazy
stuff. We're what we're doing, and the melting ice raises sea
level. So it's very, very dangerous stuff. Last year was
the hottest year ever by the largest margin of increase ever
half of the days last year in 2023. We're above 1.5 degrees
which is what the scientists say we should stay below two days in
November or do degrees above preindustrial tropical diseases
are driven to the higher latitudes the storms are getting
much stronger every night on the TV News's nature hike through
the book of Revelation. We're saying the rain bombs and the
floods, mudslides and the same extra heat is causing the
droughts which are threatening agricultural production. The
food system is at a higher level of risk of multi breadbasket
failure than we could ever have imagined was possible.
John C Dvorak: Multiple bread bread basket failure of a term
is that what does that mean? Well, this
Adam Curry: is I just come up with a new term green
gaslighting. That's what this is. Green gaslighting. That guy
is insane. By the way, I'm wearing a friend of mine made
these hoodies I got take a picture and posted. It has a big
green heart in the middle is black with a Greek, Greek, big
green heart and it says I green hearts co2. I'm gonna be walking
around with this.
John C Dvorak: Because we need more interested because it's
kind of vague as to what it might mean. I love co2 is what
it means. Who has a green heart though?
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, I
John C Dvorak: know that doesn't mean love. It's a red heart.
That means love.
Adam Curry: But it's green because co2 gives more green on
the earth we love. Actually, yes. And I'll finish up with
this short clip. Al Gore does have some good news, though. But
here's the good news. Oh, good.
Unknown: News. Here
Adam Curry: we go. Okay, okay, oh, guy, we have
Unknown: the ability to solve this, we really do. And some of
the new scientific findings are very optimistic, and it's
exciting. You'll notice that he doesn't tell you what those are.
If we reach, sorry, turn my back on you all. If we reach true net
zero and stop adding to the amount of this heat trapping gas
up there, the temperatures will stop going up almost
immediately, with a lag of as little as three to five years.
And even more exciting. If we stay at true net zero, half 50%
of all of the human caused greenhouse gas pollution will
fall out of the atmosphere in as little as 25 to 30 years. Yeah,
it'll
Adam Curry: fall out. It'll just fall out but
John C Dvorak: fall to the ground and bounced around. What
is he talking about?
Adam Curry: By the way, someone sent me this article that in San
Francisco, a solar geoengineering experiment is
taking place. It could lead to brighter clouds that reflect
sunlight and they are doing this by seeding the cloud woods with
salt.
Unknown: Salt. Yes. Yes. So
John C Dvorak: we're gonna start raining salt water is that where
that basically is what's going to happen? So if it's just
seeding the clouds of salt or salting the earth to kill all
the crops what are they trying to do here?
Adam Curry: And this is from Scientific American since this
experiment was a
John C Dvorak: communist operation recently, since this
experiment was
Adam Curry: kept under wraps until the test started, we are
eager to see how public engagement is being planned and
who will be involved because they have not engaged the public
with this. Oh, there's
John C Dvorak: gonna do this crap behind everyone's back.
They're already doing no chance and a scientist could actually
say something about it
Adam Curry: the coastal atmospheric aerosol research
engagement or care project. He's using specifically built
sprayers and they have a picture of him to shoot trillions of sea
salt particles into the sky. Brother You might want to Oh,
you might want to consider leaving the experiment is taking
place when conditions permit a top the USS Hornet Sea Air and
Space Museum in Alameda, California.
John C Dvorak: They get us a sprayer who a minute Yes. Is
this being shot up into the air at ground level?
Adam Curry: Apparently.
John C Dvorak: Oh brother this is idiotic. Well,
Adam Curry: I you might want to consider wearing a mask.
John C Dvorak: What's the difference between this and one
of those pumper tugs that dead that sprays water from the from
the bay or the ocean onto a burning ship you know they get
to hoses the nozzles same sounds like the same thing to me You
Adam Curry: keep telling yourself that
John C Dvorak: people are lunatics.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, they are. This is the big danger
that's why I'm wearing my co2 I'm we've got to push back
against this everything is going to be about this climate change.
Or or luckily, we can bring out the old jingles
Unknown: ISIS will follow them to the gates of hell, isis
this evening we are also following this new security
warning right here in the US from the FBI and Homeland
Security. Yeah, warning of potential threats to public
gatherings. The
timing of this and why? Here's our Chief Justice correspondent
Pierre Thomas with late reporting here.
Tonight FBI and Homeland Security officials are warning
us law enforcement about the potential for terror. Inspired
by that deadly ISIS attack in Moscow, targeting a concert hall
to concern according to the bullets and violence targeting
mass gatherings such as sports stadiums, concert venues, or
houses of worship in the United States. Law enforcement is told
to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity. The
Bulletin coming just days before millions will gather to watch
the clips on Monday. Authorities say following the Moscow attack,
ISIS and his supporters celebrated the assault and
shared graphic and violent attack footage the terror group
calling for similar attacks in the United States. I'm told us
law enforcement is being urged to take this bulletin seriously.
So let's just say ISIS remains a very real threat David very
Adam Curry: real, very real. Be afraid very real. happening
during the eclipse ISIS mine strike. We right we were up in
because it's ISIS K. We were up in Dallas went up Friday and
came back Saturday. Celebrate my buddy 60th birthday and Sonia
we've taken Ubers from the hotel and man they like the fourth
that's where you get all the Uber driver always has the
information. And the it's the everybody's going to Dallas and
what they were trying to do was go to Dallas and everyone wanted
to rent a car and then drive down to Waco, which will be in
the totality zone. Yeah. Car rental prices were at $600 a day
that's a bit steep
John C Dvorak: I think so. And now I'd have to the traffic will
be like bumper to bumper you won't even make it to Waco. I do
Adam Curry: know it's just a report from Fredericksburg boots
on the ground. You know maybe everybody's already here and in
their Airbnbs isn't
John C Dvorak: that bad? Everything's no but
Adam Curry: we went to a dinner last night we and I said well
let's go over Main Street so we can see it. There were parking
spaces available all along Main Street which is uncommon on an
on a Friday. On any given Friday, let alone Eclipse
Friday. Saturday. I'm sorry, Eclipse Saturday wasn't on
Friday was Saturday. Yeah, I you know, and of course we're going
to get thunderstorms and clouds. But in the light lightning is
John C Dvorak: nice ironies been a ruin everybody's day. Now I do
have a couple of Eclipse clips about some
Adam Curry: clips you've got to eclipse just the Eclipse Eclipse
Eclipse Eclipse it's Eclipse Yes,
John C Dvorak: these are this is about a phenomena I never heard
of this. And I got to Eclipse and you can look out for it if
you're in the in the totality zone. I'm right here and you can
report back but then after the play these clips I want to have
a comment. As millions
Unknown: of Americans look to the sky on Monday to witness the
total solar eclipse, a group of University of Pittsburgh
students will be chasing shadows in the Texas Hill Country. Sarah
Bowden with W ESA in Pittsburgh reports that the young
astronomers are on the verge of cracking the 200 year old
mystery of shadow bands.
On a chilly afternoon in March. The Pit students use duct tape
and zip ties to close the opening of a weather balloon.
The helium orbs smell strongly of latex, and it's so large, my
arms would need to be more than twice as long in order to wrap
around its circumference. Backwards. This is a practice
launch for the actual experiment the students will be conducting
to understand the phenomenon of shadowbanned there's only one
tape but go the other side. Shadow bands are thin wavy lines
of alternating light and dark that seemed to race across the
ground right before and right after the moon completely blocks
out the sun. No one knows why this happens.
One concept is that the shadow bands are called spy turbulence,
like gravity waves in the atmosphere. Matilda
Nielsen is a junior studying astronomy and physics. Since
German astronomer Herman Goldschmidt first wrote about
the phenomenon in 1822 leading theories have emerged. One as
Nilsen explains just before totality only a sliver of
sunlight is visible. As that sliver travels through the
Earth's atmosphere, it hits air pockets of different densities.
And that causes refraction patterns to create the shadow
bands. To test this, the students will send out their
balloons equipped with weather instruments.
So there's that wire a bit on one side. And then on the other
side is the XR. So that's transmitting the data data
like humidity, temperature and barometric pressure.
Adam Curry: Okay,
John C Dvorak: okay, first of all, I've never heard of this.
The Shadow bands. I've heard van shadow band, no shadow band.
Shadow band. Yeah. And so I'm listening to this and going,
what has been what happened before 1820 Before because
people must have seen these before then. And then what's
happened since and why that can anyone explain it? But play the
second clip, then I'll give you a comment. The
Unknown: second theory is Shadow bands have nothing to do with
the atmosphere, but rather it's sunlight bending around the
moon.
Yeah, so possible that when the moon's covering the sun, but
like slight slit lamp in the van, so it casts like this
interference pattern on the ground.
To test this lit theory, the students will also be launching
separate high altitude balloons from Ken, Texas are a small
community in the path of totality. These balloons float
up to 90,000 feet above the Earth's surface. They'll have
either a camera or light sensors that will detect it the shadow
bands are visible before entering the atmosphere. It
feels sometimes like we're going on a fool's errand here. Howard
Melk is a senior studying physics. He says solving the
mystery of shadow bands doesn't have a lot of practical
applications.
There's not like a way to profit off of this. We're not doing
research for r&d, we're doing research to figure out just the
nature of the universe. But I guess that's the truest type of
science.
Hopefully everything goes well, because North America won't see
another total solar eclipse until 2044.
Adam Curry: Can I just say something? This to me sounds a
lot like the double slit experiment. That is supposed to
prove quantum mechanics.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, man, maybe? All I know is so Iceland,
listen to this. And you're never heard of this. Like, why is it
all of a sudden the thing and PR by the way? And so I went on,
you know, when Google started looking for pictures of this
phenomenon. It's laughable. They have big sheets laid out and you
can just guess like what this is do who cares? It's a real, who
cares phenomenon? Because it's like James, you'll see it. It's
just like this is it even if you could recognize it as such. It's
just It's dumb. It's all I have to say. Good luck figuring out
what causes is Split Second phenomenon that doesn't have
anything to do with I don't know, fuddy duddy I'm now old.
Adam Curry: Yes. All right. Okay, we love you anyway, I put
it in the Red Book as a as the double slit experiment, they're
going to all of a sudden discover quantum mechanics.
John C Dvorak: But they're not going to discover it. They're
going to read related. Yes.
Adam Curry: Which by the way, Microsoft now says they've
ushered in the next era of quantum computing.
John C Dvorak: Maybe they would it is their stock prices
lingering or what is slowing down they have no bull crap, is
that what you're telling
Adam Curry: me? Yeah, this AI stuff they know it's gonna die
out. So they've announced a major breakthrough in quantum
error correction, abusing quantum quantum tombs. This is
another company that gets their buying or whatever, quantum
tombs, iron trap hardware, and Microsoft's new qubit
virtualization system. The team was able to run more than 14,000
experiments without a single error, which is the big problem
with Quantum. This new system also allowed the team s to check
the logical qubits and correct any errors and encountered
without destroying the logical qubits. While my qubits are on
fire from this news. I'm loving it. qubits. qubits, qubits,
qubits qubits, baby qubit. Just like
John C Dvorak: the guy it used to be in a video game bouncing
around you had to shoot him or something. Well, that's cute.
Burt,
Adam Curry: listen, they're doing this because AI has been
exposed for the fraud that it is, as we now learn that
Amazon's magical AI grocery store was actually 1000 Indians
spying on you.
John C Dvorak: I love that. By the way, this story. Do you have
a clip?
Adam Curry: I wish I had a clip. No one wants to do it. Because
we've got to keep this farce of AI. We got an uphill uphill to
lunch explain to people what happened. The idea that Amazon
had with these walk walking
John C Dvorak: Amazon Fresh stores, there
Adam Curry: was just what was it called the just walk out? Or was
it called? What's it called Amazon
John C Dvorak: Fresh out there Amazon Fresh? Well,
Adam Curry: the idea was that you could walk into the store,
you just pick stuff up, throw it in your cart, and then walk out
and you get the bill later. And Amazon account on your Amazon
account. And it was all AI and it's cutting edge AI technology.
John C Dvorak: People were all jacked about it because it was
so
Adam Curry: great to have retail, fire the cashiers, we
don't need them, then then it turns out and I don't know, did
they announce this? Or Or was that? I mean, how did this
John C Dvorak: come announcement came out here. The announcement
came out when they canceled the project after a number of years
they've been doing it. They said we're closing these stores and
we're not going to do this anymore. And then they had the
reasons why and one of the reasons I believe in the
announcement for shuttering they revealed that was problematic
because of this because the only way it would work is with all
these people watching that when 1000s of cameras to see what
people were up to here I
Adam Curry: have the initial it's called the Amazon Go listen
to this.
Unknown: I think there's four years ago we started to wonder
what would shopping look like? If you could walk into a store?
Grab what you want and just go imagine a world What if we could
weave the most advanced machine learning computer vision and AI
into the very fabric of a store? So you never have to wait in
line? Oh it's one no lines no checkouts no registers no
fabulous now welcome welcome Amazon
Adam Curry: Go Amazon Go Yeah, okay they welcome to
John C Dvorak: Amazon Go go go go Yeah, Amazon go broke but
Adam Curry: but how did it come out? How did this who who I mean
I'm sure Amazon didn't go We're closing this because you know
the Indians suck I'm sure they didn't do that.
John C Dvorak: I think they did a bottom line it had to be
bottom lining and bookkeeper said hey, you're losing money
with all these 1000s of Indians in Bombay looking at people shop
and trying to figure out what they're doing that people are
this stuff's getting stolen things or you know stuff was
going getting stolen there's no doubt about it because no way
here it is
Adam Curry: this without first reported by the information on
Tuesday I'm walking back the trail through all these stupid
tech blogs.
John C Dvorak: Were doing a live Yes, deconstruction for you,
ladies and gentlemen, Tony Hoggett
Adam Curry: Amazon Senior Vice President of grocery stores soon
to be fired, said in an interview that the next agenda
is say that that the next generation of Amazon Fresh
stores the consumer giants answer to mass market grocery
chains will focus instead on offering dash carts. Dash carts.
This is version two of the store, pivoting
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's
Adam Curry: a pivot pivot pivot, right. So this leads me to
believe that Microsoft is now pivoting to quantum because
people are laughing at this. It's a joke. AI is a joke. It's
a parlor trick to big joke. Please don't email me comic
strip blogger. I know you believe it's all gonna
John C Dvorak: go into a comic strip Blogger site on this what?
What did I think? Yeah, he's got links in certain arenas. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Art. That art bad music bad writing bad
PowerPoints? Sure. Absolutely. Yeah. There's no,
John C Dvorak: there's no need for bad or it's like, there's
any, you know, it's like, it was Nixon, who nominated some very
mediocre person for the Supreme Court. He said, the mediocre
people need to have some representation.
Adam Curry: That's, it's true. There's a bumper sticker. No,
well, that's true. That's true. But look at our own experience
with AI with art. Now, it's made our art generator on generator
mer. Man, you know, you have to search and like, Oh, is there
anything good here?
John C Dvorak: We actually have to do some work. It's not just
Joe.
Adam Curry: Jumping off the page anymore. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it does. It's, well, there's that element.
Yeah. So I just used to be it used to be when I was a kid. It
used to be like three years ago, let's say four years ago, before
there was AI. cropping up. It would be there'd be two or three
or four pieces. Sometimes we'd have to debate which is the best
of the four. Yes. Now as you're trying to find one.
Adam Curry: Speaking of debates, then I want to bring this
everybody's attention. And boy, man, I'm so glad that we never
pick sides and fights. I mean, Ukraine, Russia, and Hamas. We
don't pick sides. So
John C Dvorak: everyone lives anyway. Yeah, we have no clue
you can't pick a side when you can't trust anybody.
Adam Curry: So the the alternative media which is now
it's gotten pretty organized. We have the blaze we got the daily
wire. We got to the pool man group. We got it even everybody
seems to be like, kind of, you know, opposite to that. Almost
all like all Fox News. Megyn Kelly, of course she comes from
Fox News. The Dan bond Gino. I mean, it's all the same. Been
they're all like spinning around like turds in a pot like outrage
of the day. That's a Dutch ism, by the way, awesome. Throw in a
piece bolt like a turd in like a turd and a pisspot. And so, you
know, Candace Owens, quote, unquote, leave the daily wire
fired. And that whoa, whoa. And that's all that everyone's
talking about? Oh, Candace ruin deep, who cares? Exactly. But
this is all they're talking about. And so now, you've got
this. These people who
John C Dvorak: try not to interrupt you, you are. But I
was watching PBD value tainment. I have the clip. Let me spend an
hour talking about Candice Owens. Let
Adam Curry: me get into it. Let me get because this is important
that people understand that they don't you're algos are making
you worry about this. Because now as a whole, we have to have
a debate. We have to have Ben Shapiro has to debate Candace
Owens. So we can finally give this Hamas is real debate out in
the open. It's important. Dave Rubin who now works for the
daily wire Dave Rubin. He has no dog in the hunt. I don't know
but I got to do is sit down with my boss, Ben Shapiro, we got to
have a serious conversation. Because even Tucker is in on
this man. This is bad news. This is bad for the alternative
media. This is bad because we have a divide. It's ripping us
apart. What
Unknown: do we do to heal what seems to be that divide on the
right. I think most people certainly my audience is like,
Okay, fine. The left are all bananas, the woker bananas,
Biden got dementia, the Democrats are insane. Like,
okay, fine.
Adam Curry: That's the kind of program you have is just the
left is all bananas in the world. Okay,
Unknown: this thing that's happening on the right now this
things needs to be healed and quick, and I would say partly,
we need
Adam Curry: to heal John. But we need healing and quickly,
otherwise we're going to lose to the mainstream.
Unknown: It's why I have no desire. Personally, I'm not
saying it's why I personally no desire to go after cannabis.
It's like her ideas what it is what it is, but it's like we
have to solve something on the right. That are maybe between
you and Tucker, let's say like, how do we put that together so
that it's like we're all going to vote for Trump. We're all Why
did you know?
Adam Curry: He's literally saying we're all gonna vote for
Trump? I mean, that's the kind of media people we are. We're
not alternative media. We're all voting for Trump there
Unknown: so that it's like we're all going to vote for Trump.
We're all going to try to you know, restore a man.
Adam Curry: Do you say something? No, when it comes to
Unknown: cannabis, again, I'm not saying well, that's Shapiro.
Sorry, one Yeah. About about cannabis since like last
November, yeah. So that that is what it is. I have not publicly
so I
mean, clearly between say whatever the divide now is
between you and Tucker, you know, we tried
multiple times are on the show and hash this out. To accuse me
of dual loyalty
Adam Curry: through loyal did we have to hash it out? It was
Tucker
Unknown: who suggested I hate the country. Yeah, that was
amazing that I took her I said precisely the reverse about
chakra, which is that I believe that Tucker loves the country.
So it's not up to me to heal a breach that was created by by
Tucker there, talker did it I've created I've criticized policy.
I've never criticized motives. I've never suggested that Russia
was in the in the pay of the Russians. And the Tucker was in
the pay of the Russian they've never suggested that Tucker,
America hater that he despises the country in some sort of
deep, dark conspiratorial way or anything like that. So he just
said the reverse, reverse, reverse multiple times. Since he
said that I hate the country back in back in December. Again,
I've reached out to him. And our team has rejected many times.
Adam Curry: I've reached out to him. I mean, my team. Again,
Unknown: I've reached out to him. Our team has reached out to
him many times.
By offer if I text him and offer to moderate a debate. You're
down to this. Yes. Glad Kyler didn't have to be there, but I'm
willing to lose. Of course,
of course there's literally feted personally tested him
about this. Yes.
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. I personally texted him about
this. So this is what Tina says, Adam, there's chum in the water,
chum in the water. These people are all going after the
chairman. You guys are fools, fools. And then we get as you
already pre announced, Patrick bet, David, who Nam can be what
did this guy come from all of a sudden, this guy's glowy just
like Dave Rubin, then
Unknown: in Kansas. Let me first start off by saying I am so
happy the two of you guys are talking as well as agreeing to
do a sit. And obviously the detail is the challenge where
we're going to figure out let me give you a couple things I want
you to be thinking about one. Ben, let me address your issue
about what I said yesterday with the daily Israeli wire I even
said the daily Jewish wire if you haven't watched the entire
context of what I said, I'm gonna put the link below you can
go watch the entire thing on what I said from the beginning
to the end, I highly recommend you watch it. Secondly, why I
think you have to know where my perspective is slightly
different is I understand where you're coming from because I
lived in Iran. As a kid from the day I was born till 10 years
old, where we were bombed 67 times in one day, a half a
million people died and I was a Christian kid.
Adam Curry: Yeah, love. Is everyone ever. It's all about
themselves. It's all about the ego. Dave Rubin a white boy, I'd
be happy to host the debate, Patrick, big David. I should be
hosting this debate because it's an important debate. And I was a
kid in Iran living in
Unknown: a nation where 98% were Muslim. We were afraid to talk
about what we were all about. Yeah, I feel the pain of people
living in Israel. And I fully feel the pygmy band of some of
the folks who are Christian folks may be living in Palestine
that don't agree with what's going on with Hamas. I
understand both sides. And that's why I understand what
Canada's saying and also understand why you have the
position that you are having said that. There's a couple
things I want you to be thinking about. Number one, you are
Jewish. I think you're from Burbank, California. And you got
four kids. I a Middle Eastern Armenian, Assyrian born in Iran.
I went to Glendale, California. And then we have Candace, who I
believe it's from White Plains, New York with three kids. We're
all family, folks, right?
Adam Curry: You're all privilege Cox. Stop it. Stop it. Everybody
in the pool boys out there or both should happen on my show.
Oh, yeah. We've got we need debate. So while everyone's
running around in circles, like a bunch of Jack offs, the no
agenda shows is just gonna keep on deconstructing media. But
this led me to something else something Shapiro said in this
stillness, Rubin thing I thought was really interesting. And it
kind of sparked some thought about this entire this entire
debate about Israel, Hamas, and what may whether it's a part of
it or an outflow of it, I'm not sure yet but listen to this,
Unknown: the way that the foreign aid to Israel works is
that Israel is mandated by American law.
Adam Curry: So this is actually part of this debate is, you
know, well, I you know, yeah, it's just a war in the Middle
East. But you know, I don't agree with my tax dollars
funding it. This is this is a big thing that people are
talking about, oh, I don't care about Ukraine, but this one
there were some funding that military cool They
Unknown: receive foreign aid from the United States, they
must spend it with American contractors, they are not
allowed to go out for competitive bids on the
technology that they are buying from American military
contractors, if the agent is released, it's the American
military industrial complex, have a legit argument, right?
You can say that you want the American military industrial
complex to die. Or you can suggest that that's what's
making American foreign policy. I think that's incredibly naive
and stupid. But you can make that argument. But that's the
claim that America is basically just cutting a check to Israel
and see no benefit. On the other end. First of all, America gets
massive intelligence benefits from Israel, which is the
largest intelligence base for the United States in the Middle
East. Second of all, Israel is essentially a floating aircraft
carrier, or a non floating aircraft carrier for the United
States. America works with the Israelis and uses Israeli assets
in order to pursue targets in the Middle East. Third, America
gets an enormous amount of sophisticated military
technology from Israel, had a long record of taking military
technology that agains and then upgrading it tremendously,
including, by the way, the F 35. The F 35, which Israel gained
Israel then used its own technologies in order to enhance
so when you see in the movies, or when you see American
military pilots in F 35. And they have the over the horizon
helmets, where they're seeing stuff happening over the
horizon. That's an Israeli military invention that ended up
in the United States because of the military cooperation between
Israel and the United States. And let me
Oh, the progressives are gonna have to boycott Topcon three, if
they make it.
Adam Curry: So, now this by itself, you know, it's like,
okay, that's kind of understandable. Sure, we use a
lot of Israeli military technology. And I didn't know
about the F 35. And it got more interesting because mo actually
sent me this clip from times radio with a former UK major,
because now in the UK, they're saying we should not be sending
any arms to Israel, we should not be helping them out because
they're committing genocide. There's no good same calls that
are happening here. And here's what the major said the former
major major said, How much
Unknown: does Israel actually rely on us for arms? What would
a suspension actually be? How would it be felt,
I suspect in terms of, in any way damaging their capability,
very little arm, or arm sales to Israel, as far as I can gather
that assault rifles and some explosives, but I'm afraid it's
the other way around is way more reliant on Israel for arms than
they are reliant on us. It isn't simple, because it's not just
the weapons that we rely on. And you have to remember that our
own armed forces, start, stockpiles of military machinery
and ammunition have been hollowed out by our support for
Ukraine. But it's the bits that the Israeli arms industry makes
everything from optics to radars, domiciles missiles, and
missile parts that go into a lot of the kids that we use. So I
think if if they decided we were trying to damage their
interests, they could do a great deal worse to us by damaging our
US. Ah,
Adam Curry: so the plot thickens here. The Military Industrial
Complex spa spans quite a number of countries, and Israel seems
to be very important in this. So when you get calls like this
from the view and sunny Huston,
Unknown: I don't think that you can tell people whose families
have been killed. whole entire lines of their families have
been murdered 30 over 32,000 people, women and children, the
majority that well, but if Trump wins, it would be better. The
problem here is that we weren't the worse. The problem here is
that they are making themselves known Michigan has about 200,000
Muslim voters they are losing their family members and the
United States for the UN has found is complicit in that. And
that is because the United States sends $3.8 billion
dollars worth of aid to Israel, and that also includes arming
them. Social Scientists have found that if the United States
stopped providing that aid, the war would be over early. Let me
just finish this, the war would be over in three days.
Adam Curry: Ah, so now that now they're messing with the forces
of nature, the military industrial, as they call it,
base, and NATO right away jumps into action till
Unknown: now NATO members have been supplying Ukraine as
individual states coordinated by the US led Ukraine Defense
Contract group. NATO is an organization is not involved.
But Jens Stoltenberg wants to change that. We
are now discussing ways to institutionalize moral dis
support with in NATO framework to make it more predictable to
make it more
Adam Curry: the money and time people we want to schedule we
want the cash robust. Because
Unknown: we strongly believe that support Ukraine should be
less dependent on short term voluntary offers and more
dependent on contracts. We want money we want to schedule long
term NATO commitments,
commitments foreign ministers to agree to set up a five year
plan, with $100 billion dollars in military aid coordinated by
the Alliance itself. Some countries already agree, but it
could mean greater NATO involvement, and some members
may be nervous this could lead to escalation, and some may be
reluctant to pay extra money. Stoltenberg wants the deal
signed this July at the NATO summit in Washington. Well,
before the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House.
NATO wants its aid to Ukraine to be Trump proof.
Adam Curry: Trump pro Trump proof that stuff but then twist,
twist. This great Israeli technology is killing innocent
people. And
Unknown: some of these questions actually been addressed by a
joint investigative report by the Israeli Palestinian new site
plus 972 with a Hebrew language local call. And and this
investigative report which is based on speaking to many
Israeli military intelligence officials, the findings were
shared with the British daily The Guardian. Basically what
this report looks at is the Israeli military's use of
artificial intelligence AI to generate target. This system,
the Israeli system is called lavender, and avender.
Apparently, after the October 7 attacks, lavender generated
37,000 Palestinian men identified as either Hamas or P
ij, Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives. And one of the
people there said, Yes, this is 37,000. But it depends on how
you set the bar for how you define a Hamas or a big
operative. And these really left leaning daily heretics has
another reports where where talks about killed zones, and
they have quoted Israeli reservists to saying basically,
the military right now is defining anyone who it kills as
a terrorist, anyone, any Palestinian adult male who
walked into these zones that are called kin zones that the
Israeli military has identified, but which Palestinians are not
made aware of which are not clearly marked. So
Adam Curry: what we're seeing here, as General Smedley Butler
said, war is a racket. And it seems to me that all of this
stuff, they're just fighting about whose tech is better by
saying whose tech is worse. All of this is about money for
military contractors, all of it. And meanwhile, I was running
around debating stuff. Well,
John C Dvorak: I think is interesting. It's a good
presentation. Thank you. It's interesting how you somehow and
I don't even can't put my finger on when it happened. How you
segwayed from Candace Owens, thank you, thank you, to this to
your final thing here on the military industrial complex and
the bullshit that goes on at the end. And by the way, I should
mention it Obama used to redefine people after they did
these drone strikes on these on these various targets in the
Middle East. They just kill a bunch of civilians. And he just
redefined them since they were, you know, they were between the
ages of such and such and such and such they
Adam Curry: were thus military age military age men. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: so there were there were fair game would but
nobody bitched about that. But I gave you kudos for this
particular twist. Wait, you did this? It's just like I can't. I
couldn't have you made it. So I couldn't stop you. Well,
Adam Curry: it's because I wasn't worried about hosting a
debate between Ben and Candice. I wasn't worried about that. I'm
keeping my eyes open and seeing what's
John C Dvorak: right. You even brought I mean, I don't have any
clips about the Candice. Oh, and now of course. Oh, who cares?
Adam Curry: Not that's, of course not. That's just like you
did
John C Dvorak: because I do find it offensive. It is these guys
this alternative but you're the one that's defined these
people's alternative media controlled objects. They are in
some funny way. But they are just like a dog chasing its own
tail. It's embarrassing. So
Adam Curry: a lot of this AI stuff because you know, of
course, some some people were killed who were targeted by the
AI. And these weren't. People don't realize this world.
Kitchen. What is it? What's it called? Yeah, that thing up
around Central Kitchen. Well, you know who that is, don't you?
Boo. Oh, this is your buddy. Jose, Andreas.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Andreas is out. They New York. Yeah, he
Adam Curry: got that 100 billion dollars from Jeff Bezos, right?
Remember he and Van Jones each got $100 million and then he
started the the world central kitchen. And then his people get
blowed up by the Israeli I don't
Unknown: need new reporting from a plus. 972 magazine presents
evidence that Israel's military employed an AI program called
lavender, but literally marks people and puts them on a kill
list. Yeah, just days after an IDF strike killed seven world
Central Kitchen Aid workers in Gaza. The IDF told Israeli news
outlet hereto that the strike was a result of lack of
discipline on the part of commanders on the ground, and
not due to coordination problems between the army and the
humanitarian organization. Get the bombshell new reporting
argues that the Israeli army allegedly marked 1000s of Gazans
as suspects for assassination using an artificial intelligence
machine. The new investigation reveals six Israeli intelligence
officers saying the new AI technology has played a central
role in the, quote, unprecedented bombing of
Palestinians. According to the report, during the first week of
the war, the army almost completely relied on lavender,
which clocked as many as 37,000 Palestinians as suspected
militants and their homes for possible airstrikes. According
to the magazine, during the early stages of the war, the
Army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt lavenders kill
lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine
made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on
which they were based. This is despite knowing that the system
makes errors in 10% of cases, and is known to occasionally
Mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant
groups or no connection at all. You
Adam Curry: know, they should just come out and say, Look,
man, it was the we had 5000 Indians checking this stuff, and
they fell down on the job. It's their fault. This is this,
there's something up with all this. AI that that's your
artificial intelligence. It's the future of death.
John C Dvorak: And the universe gives you somebody to blame.
miscoded
Adam Curry: I'm just saying this and there's a lot there's a lot
going on. Now. Of course, now we've got to shift everything
over to Iran. All of a sudden, you
John C Dvorak: have a clip. Okay, what do you got around
about you attack.
Unknown: Israel remains on high alert as Iran vows to retaliate
for the killing of several high ranking Iranian commanders and
civilians, including a top general appearance. Gary Cohn
reports 1000s attended his funeral today Brigadier General
Mohammed dress as he was laid to rest in his central Iranian
hometown. Attendees vowed revenge for his killing. He was
the highest ranking official killed in the airstrike last
Monday, along with the heat of his deputy and five other
officials were also killed at an embassy compound in serious
capital. A Pentagon official said the US believes Israel was
behind the attack. Although it has not claimed responsibility.
Chief of Iran's Armed Forces warn that quote, no act by any
enemy will go unanswered. Israel has bolstered its air defense
system including the Iron Dome, which protects against incoming
short range weapons, and Israelis have been stockpiling
provisions in fear of an attack. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: have a couple of clips from Meet the Press. I
gotta I'm over clipped actually on this topic. This is Mid East
envoy Dennis Ross, a former Mideast envoy Dennis Ross on
Meet the Press NBC former General Electric military
company, Israel
Unknown: right now has canceled leave of all of their military
because they're on a high alert in anticipation of some kind of
attack by Iran as a result of even though Israel didn't
admitted they were the ones who who took out maybe the most
important Revolutionary Guard leaders since Qasem. Soleimani
they
John C Dvorak: did that. No, no. He said even though
Adam Curry: Yeah, he said even though Israel doesn't admit it,
they took him out.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think to get he's got his maybe he's
talking about this Mohammed character, you know, I'm always
wondering, you said sulamani Yeah, I know. He said sulamani
money, just a guy that that's not a recent kill. That was the
one during Trump's
Adam Curry: Yeah, no, but Trump said the he died like a dog was
not the guy. Yes, but now the Israelis did that. Know what
Listen, maybe the
John C Dvorak: most important why he just because he said it
doesn't mean it's what it's a fact.
Adam Curry: All right. Okay. Evolutionary
Unknown: guard leaders since custom
Adam Curry: Suleimani Abu Bakar that was the guy who died like a
dog in their
Unknown: attack in Damascus a couple of days ago. And it's
clear around his saying there's going to be Israel is going to
pay a price for this. So the fact that you could see some
kind of expansion of conflict, either coming out of Lebanon and
Hezbollah, or something that's triggered by the Iranians, or
some of its proxies, maybe with barrage attacks from Iraq or
Syria, that gets you into a situation where if Israel was
fighting a wider war, even beyond what we've seen now, then
some kind of hold up American military assistance, would be an
issue. Right? So I hasten to add, the President was pretty
clear in this table released by the White House and when it
comes to threats from Iran, the United States is going to be
there with Israel.
Adam Curry: I really doubt Iran is gonna do anything. They're
not stupid. How
John C Dvorak: about this for an idea that there's back
channeling going on and we're not even close to being aware of
trade idea was and the Iranians were behind it to get rid of
this guy? Ooh,
Adam Curry: there's a theory. Because,
John C Dvorak: you know, these guys are trouble. They get to a
certain point, they're hanging around. They seem like they're
starting to act like the boss pushing their weight around
next. We're gonna get rid of them. Well, let's, I'll tell you
what, we'll do this thing. You you bombed that place, which is
fine. We just a few other guys. We don't mind killing. I don't
put it up beyond anybody to do that.
Unknown: Now, a couple of hours before that Israeli airstrike in
Gaza that killed those aid workers. There was an explosion
at the Iranian embassy in Syria. Iran saying it was an Israeli
attack that it killed a number of senior officers with the
Revolutionary Guard.
Adam Curry: Oh, the annoying guys. Like wow, let's get ready.
John C Dvorak: What are they doing there?
Unknown: Over the last day, Iranian leaders have been vowing
revenge. Israel tonight.
Adam Curry: Where where is the where's the the soundbite from
the Iranian leaders going? Depth to America revenge. I don't see
that. He's
Unknown: on high alert. Its air defense systems are ready. The
Israeli military has canceled leave for combat soldiers,
because they are bracing for possible retaliation and Israeli
officials tells me at this point, there is no concrete
intelligence that indicates that an attack is imminent. Okay. But
there is a lot of concern here the Israeli military confirming
that it is jamming GPS systems, which means that people's google
maps aren't working. Oh, no, this is a threat that's being
taken seriously. Oh,
Adam Curry: my google maps aren't working. This is a
threat. We got to take it seriously. There's no actual
credible information. The guide just said it but you know, we're
at NBC. How about you Rear Admiral made
Unknown: clear, the need for Israel to announce and to
implement a series of specific concrete and measurable steps to
address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering and the
safety of aid workers.
He made clear that US policy with respect to Gaza will be
determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action on the
steps
what we want to see are some real changes on the Israeli side
all right, and you know, if you don't see changes from their
side, they'll have to be changes from
Adam Curry: our side. Oh, goodness,
John C Dvorak: Baba.
Adam Curry: This is all just just who we who we I tell you.
We need to judge Jeanine go on bomb again. If I'm a bomb, bomb
bomb, that's horrible. People bomb them bomb, Ivan NPR.
Stanley,
John C Dvorak: was written about this. If you remember during the
shakeup when they were when we're doing Tucker got let go.
And there are boxes using the excuse that they lost his
lawsuit which still makes no sense to dominion. And so
they're getting rid of people left and right. It was their
like, scorched earth policy. So they were getting rid of one
person after the end. Janina was on the chopping block, but
Adam Curry: she'd never got chopped. She never got shot
because she's she's a military industrial base promoter. I
agree. She loves it. She loves war war. Speaking of. So, boy,
what are the chances as all this starts to come down? We already
have the Trump proofing of NATO's financing. I like that.
That's a good one. Trump
John C Dvorak: proof but then moths proof. They're trying to
make the association. Then
Adam Curry: all of a sudden out of nowhere. We get this lady
with a new lady with a book her name is Annie Jacobson and she
is the author of the book nuclear war a scenario and of
course, were to shoe up on the gluey on the glory podcast with
Lex Friedman. Of course
Unknown: the United States has 1000 seats. 770 nuclear weapons
deployed, meaning those weapons could launch in as little as 60
seconds and up to a couple of minutes. Some of them on the
bombers might take an hour or so. Russia has 1674 deployed
nuclear weapons. Same scenario, their weapons systems are on par
with ours. That's not to mention the 12,500 nuclear weapons.
Amongst the nine nuclear armed nations, the sucking up into the
nuclear stem 100 mile an hour winds, you're talking about
people miles out, getting sucked up. When you see the mushroom
cloud lacks that would be people, people 40 mile wide
mushroom cloud, blocking out the sun. And that speaks nothing of
the radiation poisoning that follows in addition to the
launch on warning concept, there's this other insane
concept called Seoul presidential authority. You
might think in a democracy that's impossible, right? You
can't just start a war. Well, you can just start a nuclear war
if you're the Commander in Chief, the President of the
United States in fact, you're the only one who can do that. We
are one misunderstanding one miscalculation away a nuclear
Armageddon no matter how nuclear war starts, it ends with
everyone dead.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Lex Welcome back to the 1950s I'm telling
you that kind of this has been discussed. Since the first H
bomb went off this day, and it was discussed probably the most
extreme in the 60s during the crisis the Cuban Missile Crisis.
And it's not this is not a new thought. What is this? Why are
we reiterating this old thinking? This old is old these
old arguments out of the blue right now? Because
Adam Curry: Trump, duck and cover one mean tweet considered
off and we'll all be sucked up into the nuclear pipe. Let's
people Lex it's people flying around they're burning a fiery
hellish death Come on, calm down people calm down everybody. This
just it would just go in and saying here
John C Dvorak: Yeah, shut up.
Adam Curry: And and of course, this is this is so great.
Because I I went right to my buddy Cole a K and C cattle when
this one came out. The bird
Unknown: flu has been found in more dairy cows with cases now
confirmed in six states since the first reports on March 25.
Officials insists there is no danger to the US. Die. Yeah,
Adam Curry: wait. Yeah, but they're ramping this up right on
time. We'd go to America's favorite doctor, Dr. Jenn
Ashton. today. Let's
Unknown: talk to you about our medical news here. At least one
person in Texas has been diagnosed with bird flu after
having contact with dairy cows. Yeah.
So I spoke to a senior official with the CDC by phone yesterday.
Let me take you through what
Adam Curry: we know at this point. Yes, please at this hour.
Dr. Jen, what do we know about avian
Unknown: influenza. So this is h five and one is a flu virus
that's typically found in birds. It's transmitted via the air
it's also via contact with mucous saliva or animal feces.
Obviously, at this point, the recommendation is to avoid
contact with sick or dead birds or animals and unpasteurized
milk products. Symptoms run the gamut. You could be asymptomatic
this case of this dairy worker in Texas pinkeye, an eye
infection. Or obviously you can have signs and symptoms of an
upper respiratory infection or pneumonia. In this country,
there are only two confirmed cases ever reported in humans.
So this is really an evolving zoonotic disease, something
that's well known well documented in animals now
affecting humans.
Adam Curry: Is it so people, isn't it? So? notic? Is it
zoonotic or zoonotic?
John C Dvorak: It's zoonotic, zoonotic, I looked at I went out
of my way to look at it. ology, yes, the pronunciation.
Adam Curry: I talked to Cole Mio, My rancher and Luling and
he says, This is the biggest bull crap have ever heard of he
says, he's Armand up. He says they better not try and come and
call my call my herd. Because that that's part of what's on
the block here. You know, the goal. Getting rid of the getting
rid of the chickens is one thing, but oh, it's in the cows
now. Interesting.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I believe him to be accurate in his
assessment. He should be careful. Yeah. And
Adam Curry: he's also a geneticist. So he knows all this
stuff. He's like, this is the big You've
Unknown: heard a lot of people wanting to know how serious is
this is their treatment? And is there a way to test
that you have it? So yes, there's testing. There's
treatment, antiviral medication this particular person in Texas
is on Tamiflu. When I spoke to this senior official from the
CDC yesterday, she told me and I quote, they are they are
considering right now, the risk to the overall US population is
low record, they are taking this seriously. They did the capacity
to make vaccine if they need to, but anytime an infection jumps
species, and now likely is in mammals, mammals, cows, cows are
taking notice at alarming Yeah, I mean, we have to take this
seriously. And the CDC definitely is definitely know
that they are monitoring it as our youth is low at this point.
Adam Curry: That's good to hear. Yeah, well, let's, let's go to
Dr. Mandy, the our new director, the soccer mom of the CDC,
Unknown: the CDC says the risk to humans from the age five and
one flu that is driving this outbreak is low. Right now it
appears that the two cases in humans were from contact with
sick animals. Do you have any reason to believe that humans
could pass this on to each other?
So we have never seen a case of human to human spread of avian
flu? Why are we talking about it and the version of avian flu
that we're seeing in cattle, and in this one human case is the
same strain that we have seen previously in birds, we've never
seen that spread human to human. That all being said, as we've
learned through COVID, and our experiences, viruses change my
release, to stay ahead of it. That's why we CDC and the whole
of US government is taking this very seriously in my situation
very closely.
Adam Curry: I mean, I have a couple more clips here of Dr.
Mandy, because this is a script, we've heard it before.
Unknown: Say we need to stay ahead of it. Tell us what that
involves, what are the steps you're taking? Sure. One
is obviously working very closely to make sure we're
understanding the extent of the spread, how many cattle and farm
are involved, and then obviously looking for any humans that are
in contact with cattle or sick, and testing folks that have
symptoms and making sure that we're understanding if it has
spread to other folks. So far, there's only been one case in
Texas person had very mild symptoms. They're recovering
well, yeah. But we want to make sure, again, that we are testing
folks who may have been in contact
just so people understand the difference in numbers. There's
one case in Texas where the farm worker appeared to have been in
contact with a sick cow a couple years ago, there was another
human case where the person appeared to have been in contact
with a sick bird. You said widespread testing is important.
Is there a ray that cases are going to go into the radar
because people are afraid to report whether it's farm owners
who don't want their operation? Workers who might not have
health coverage? Yeah, we're gonna raise
with our state and local partners, our partners through
aggregators.
Adam Curry: Here's your state and local partners. Yeah, we're
gonna go to the ranch, and hey, we're from the government, we're
here to check you.
Unknown: Well, we're working closely with our state and local
partners, our partners through agriculture in the US Department
of Agriculture and farm workers, again, we want to get ahead of
this. So we're trying to talk folks through it and build trust
and, you know, folks have really been receptive. We've been
particularly working with a lot of the veterinarians that are
part of the farms that have been impacted. So, so far, all
working well together.
Adam Curry: Okay, so yeah, we're working well together. But this
is a script. This is a script. Get ready for it. Be afraid bird
flu, we're all going to die. Oh, no, we're not because we can do
some vaccines. I'm sure it house
Unknown: we're not thought to be a species at high risk. And so
if the virus is now spreading, and cows, what are the choices
that could mutate to become a risk to humans?
Well, it is true. This is the first time we've seen avian flu
or bird flu either way, this is NPR in Catalan. As you know,
cows are mammals. So this is a new group of animals that we are
seeing this virus in. And that just means more opportunity for
this virus to mutate or change. To make sure we are continuing
to stay ahead of
Adam Curry: the cow is
Unknown: the new pangolin monitoring, whether it continues
to spread and evolve is one thing, preparing for the
possibility that it might is another in a New York Times
opinion piece columnist Zeynep Tufekci said the government
needs to gear up to potentially mass produce vaccines quickly.
Oh, I
John C Dvorak: used the wrong words. Well, it'd be mass
produced mail in ballots. Oh,
Unknown: that's coming from it needs to get up to potentially
mass produced vaccines quickly. Do you agree with that? Well,
the good news is United States has been preparing for avian flu
outbreaks for more than 20 years. We've invested in our
ability to test for this prevented and to treat it. And
we know that the strain we're seeing right now is the same
strain we have seen before. This up our treatment, which is
Tamiflu, which we have both doses in stockpile and around
the country works. And we even have vaccine candidates that are
ready to go. So it's very different than what we
experienced, for example, at the beginning of COVID, when we're
seeing a brand new novel virus where we didn't have tests, we
didn't have treatment, and we didn't have vaccine. So
Adam Curry: I have one more clip from her, and then we'll go to
Trump. Because you're right, obviously, that's what happened
with COVID. we mass produce mailing ballots. And what she
keeps saying here is, well, you know, this is a jump from
species to species. And you know, just like COVID, we
learned that, you know, this stuff can change, it can morphic
and the virus can change,
Unknown: which is specifically if it does take time to mass
produce vaccines, is that something the US should be doing
an artist right now? chance that the virus evolves? Well,
again, we have never seen a transmission from a human to
human. That is something we are watching for very closely. Yeah.
And so there may be trigger points where we would move to
thinking about scaling up vaccine. But remember, there's
always a trade off there. If we move to manufacturing one type
of vaccine, it may be at the expense of being able to
manufacture that vaccine for the seasonal flu, again, something
that also impacts us. So we have the ability to scale up if we
need to. And again, we're already started down that
process. And we'll keep monitoring to see if we need to
trigger and do that.
The cases so far have all been in dairy cows, should people be
concerned about consuming milk and other dairy products?
Well, first, FDA has indicated that our milk supply is safe
because of the pasteurization process. unpasteurized on raw
milk remains a vast, vast, vast majority of our milk supply is
safe because of pasteurization.
Adam Curry: Well, Trump is onto this he knows what's coming and
he actually sounds angry about it. In this case, although he
doesn't call it out as bird flu per se. Left
Unknown: wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back
COVID lock downs and mandates with all of their sudden fear
mongering about the new variants that are coming ki whiz you know
what else is coming in election? They want to restart the COVID
hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship,
more illegal drop boxes, more mailing ballots, and trillions
of dollars and payoffs to their political allies heading into
the 2024 election does that sound familiar? These are bad
people. These are sick people with anyway. But to every COVID
tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, hear these words we
will not comply. So don't even think about it. We will not shut
down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns, we will
not abide by your mask mandates. And we will not tolerate your
vaccine mandates. They rigged the 2020 election and now
they're trying to do the same thing all over again, by rigging
the most important election in the history of our country, the
2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID. But
they will fail because we will not let it happen. When I'm back
in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut
federal funding to any school college airline or public
transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a
vaccine mandate. Thank you very much.
Adam Curry: He sounds a little worried to me.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, I wouldn't be if I was him. Yeah.
Sounds like fact I have a couple of clips that should make him
worried. Okay. See which of these clips these are about this
some new? New results, poll results and as
Adam Curry: you're holding does it all the time? By him boom.
Where is it man? Where's your Trump's? I know it's no labels?
No.
John C Dvorak: No Labels is a good clip. Let's play that.
Unknown: No presidential candidate for the group, no
labels. What does that tell us about politics today?
Two thirds of the voters in America tell pollsters they are
not happy with the rematch between Trump and Biden. So it
seems the best of times to organize a third party or an
independent candidacy. But raising the money and the
organization and just getting on the ballot in many states
remains a challenge. And noble labels wanted a person who
already had national stature or a statewide credential, at least
someone plausible with bipartisan appeal. And they
talked to dozens of prospects without finding anyone they
liked who was willing to do it. And inside the parties, it's
been more than 40 years since we had a real primary threat for an
incumbent president. And this year, in a sense, we have two
incumbent presidents running one in each party Biden Of course,
and also Trump at least in the minds of his most ardent
supporters.
John C Dvorak: You notice something in that report. You
talk about us the perfect time for a third party candidate and
Adam Curry: you had no labels crap. No RFK Jr. Talk no mention
John C Dvorak: of RFK Jr. Heaven forbid that the people there I
think it was NPR would do that. The clip I'm looking for bye By
the way is the weird polls clip it's right here. Couple
Unknown: of competing polls to ask you about. The NPR PBS
Marist poll has credited Biden at 50%. Wall Street Journal poll
shows former President Trump ahead and six of seven swing
states. That's right. This
week, there was that poll you mentioned and others showing
what was in effect, a dead heat. Wall Street Journal ran that
poll seven of swing states, showing Trump winning and six of
them. So that points to the prospect of perhaps another 2016
with one candidate possibly winning the national popular
vote, but the other candidate winning in the Electoral College
and thereby winning the presidency.
John C Dvorak: So they think that Biden is going to win the
pot. Whoo. That just baffles me that anyone would vote for that
guy. But I or maybe I'm getting isolated mochan
Adam Curry: over there.
John C Dvorak: It's unbelievable. What's your fanny
Fani Willis clip that interests me this is a wild clip a while
clip. Okay, good. Then we go down and then while clip is a
clip that you haven't heard this on the mainstream media and you
never will. This is quite interesting. Floyd is
Unknown: one of 17 defendants, including Trump accused of
attempting to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Floyd's
Georgia attorney Christopher Catterall. Told LEGAL ANALYST
Phil Holloway, what happened.
By the way, Fannie did reach out to us my colleague, one of my
colleagues in Maryland, and was rude and abrupt with him on the
phone. And he was dealing with a Maryland case I was dealing with
a Georgia case and she ended up recording him
cut her off said that recording is a felony under Maryland law
requires both parties to consent. A Floyd said in a
social media posts that if Willis doesn't recuse herself by
noon on Monday, he may have to pursue all lawful remedies. Oh,
John C Dvorak: gonna go after her for a felony? Poor idiot.
I'm
Unknown: gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
Adam Curry: I'll bet you no one was suspecting that, huh?
John C Dvorak: I even was it? Yeah, no
Adam Curry: mob. I was fun to play it again. That's right. We
got to split up the donations because we have two shows of
producers show thank thank you profusely for supporting us and
also for congratulating John on his birthday and J on her
wedding. And we see do but actually we thank the artists
here don't wait, don't we think the artists here? We do because
we are valued for value. That's what keeps us running. For those
you who have never heard this part of the show before. This is
where it actually gets fun. Because it's you who are
speaking back to us some in a very curt short messages, some
with entire Warren Piece books, I can see from the spreadsheet
today
John C Dvorak: published
Adam Curry: where I'm getting published on the no agenda show
where value for value. So all of the work that you hear here is,
is just a start top work. It's what we do. The we put
everything out there, we don't ask for anything in return, we
expect nothing other than your undying loyalty to the show. And
to return value in some form of the other time, talent or
treasure loyalty, undying loyalty, time, talent or
treasure is all we asked for it. You can do that in multiple
ways. We have many people helping us with technology with
websites. By the way, Tim codes, monkey, Tim, we got to change
some stuff on the on the no agenda site, we still pointing
to the old social network, we should do a few things we have
to change that just I'm just putting this in as a reminder
myself. We also have what we talked about earlier, we have
artists, some are actual artists, some are prompted
jockeys. And what they do is they create artwork. We'd like
to have a new piece of art for every single show. This is some
of the best time and talent that people put together. It really
is. And they do it live usually. Excuse me during the show.
They'll pick up a topic and just start creating. And we pick one
right after the show. And then we publish it now we had pre
selected this particular piece of art, we'd actually selected a
different piece. And I made an executive decision what
John C Dvorak: was right. Yeah, that was I would have suggested
the same thing. As
Adam Curry: I was putting the show together that circumference
had executive produced for us and gave and which was well
done. And that was a lot of work he put in. Of course he also did
that with help of being it.io, which is from Cirque de
nonnamous. Now he's turning that into a service by the way, he's
turning into service for other podcasts, a paid service where
you can you can get your own search engine, which I'm happy
for him that he's got that going for him. The art was that was
that I selected? Because we will talk about the one we had
selected previously was from Dame Kenny Ben, that makes two
in a row for her. Um, this was a red book no agenda Corinne
Devora greatest hits and misses. It was just a good piece. It
just was
John C Dvorak: it had it had. They had dimensionality more
dimensionality had
Adam Curry: a lot more dimensionality than the original
one that we that we had decided on. We decided that on last
Sunday, and that was let me see. That was by Parker Paulie.
Blacknight Parker Paulie. He had the Red Book specially had all
that right. He had a wasn't it it was more like a brown book
wasn't really a red book is red, enough red, red and had a target
on it, and then a dart and then he had a couple of versions. We
liked the one with a dart and missed the missing Dart. Which,
which work well. That was really, we didn't the artists
were kind of AWOL for obvious reasons, although we had an
opportunity to compete and that's how damn Kenny Ben just
slid in under the wire. Although sweet cheeks probably tried one.
Which was okay. With a red book special. Was there anything else
that we missed? No,
John C Dvorak: but we do have to thank the artists for show. 1647
Two. Ah,
Adam Curry: which was also named Kenny, Ben. And the one we chose
for that. Looking for it now. Which one was it John? Oh, it
was Dame Kenny. Ben's Happy Easter. It was the two easter
eggs. One with with the cross. The cross and one with the all
seeing eye. We debated a bit. You know,
John C Dvorak: there was no there was no good art for that
show.
Adam Curry: Well, you know scare monger who was AI? That
John C Dvorak: wasn't good.
Adam Curry: A scare monger tried to pull the old bunny in the
cave bit again. We should try.
John C Dvorak: Why no, he brought that that's like one of
the first pieces you ever submitted any things that we
forgot? No, we're not gonna see your artists always try to
recycle stuff. So you guys are too stupid to know.
Adam Curry: We noticed that and we wouldn't choose it this year
either. Religious Man with Jesus looking at the big bunny in the
cave. Give me a break. No, no, we're not going to do that. The
blood of Jesus with bunny stuff. Now none of none of that was was
ever in play. But damn Kenny Benz was good. We liked it that
Moreover, because the the White House decided that kids couldn't
put any religious symbols on the eggs at the White House for the
Easter egg hunt. what a what a spoilers, man. Yeah, but
John C Dvorak: that turns out that that was true goes back to
Obama, I think Oh, well. There you go pretty old and it wasn't
re re re negotiated by Trump. He just didn't care.
Adam Curry: It was really it was so they couldn't do that during
Trump either.
John C Dvorak: I far as I know, the way it the way the media
played it. And you know, it's Oh, you're always making a big
fuss, right wings go nuts. That kind of thing. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. The intellectual darkweb. Now, like
Ben Shapiro, and what's the other guy's name? The Weinstein
the Weinstein Brothers. Sure. So now let us think intellectual
dark. Yeah, that's what it was. It was the they were putting
that together. Oh, yeah. We got it. Well, members of the
intelligence big. Yeah, because we got to we we can't have this.
We got to heal any, any rifts, any splits in the intellectual
dark web, because, you know, we're important. We're going to
change the world when they're arguing with each other and
doing debates. Please, thanking our executive and Associate

Massachusetts although I don't always agree, thank you for for
saying and as of course is your interpretation of the news. We
don't interpret we deconstruct I do appreciate what it's formed
us that is formed using critical thinking and logic. I'm reminded
my college days in the 90s but on most nights you could find a
room in my dorm filled with students debating every topic
and most debating like,
Adam Curry: like, like Shapiro and Kansas they debate
John C Dvorak: debating communism Kenzi and economics
the universe Big Foot. Some students were drunk So hi, some
cold sober. But we all enjoy the challenge of thinking through a
topic no matter how esoteric and figuring out ways to logically
support our own opinions. Oh, brother, you're gonna repeat
again for the different backgrounds, some from Mega
wealthy families, others needing scholarships and financial aid
to stay in schools and we're conservative, some liberal, some
classic majors as history econ premed, okay, okay. I'll just
stop reading it at that point. Thank you for continuing the
tradition of critical thinking and not following the hard the
herd please keep up the good work. He needs a de douching for
himself and for this karma for the students of this world.

And I should mention that these are real credits, they are valid
anywhere credits are recognized. You can put them in your
LinkedIn profile. You can put him in your social media profile
if you want. But you could also go to imdb.com where we have I
think at this point over 1000 Executive Associate Executive
Producer, the no agenda show was recognized there as well. So you
can open it up and if you're at a bar, you say, you know I'm an
executive producer. Really? Oh, really? Oh, really? Yeah. Once
you look me up on IMDb, dude. Yeah, it'll work.
John C Dvorak: It'll work. I have a note to read from one of
our producers, Rachel. Okay, I just think there's an amusing
notice is a California bass note. Even though Rachel lives
in Chicago. Hi, guys. I'm catching up in the last episode
that is sent along just in case it's helpful to anyone out
there. I recently went to Oakland Oh rented a car and was
indeed robbed.
Adam Curry: Wow. So we are Yeah, we were talking about the rental
cars and how what a pain in the butt that must be if you if your
rental car gets broken into when you want to return to the
airport. I think this
John C Dvorak: is a story about exactly that. Okay. I was warned
by pretty much every local person I spoke to the rental car
agent even told me not to use any gas stations nearby. I hated
the warning and kept everything out of the car and the end
during the entire trip until I was on my way back to the
airport. I stopped at a busy shopping area and left items in
the trunk. No, I guess I used to think being in a busy area in
broad daylight was enough. Now Yeah, but learned later it was
their largest market. This quote unquote ring is sophisticated
and has some way of recognizing the rental cars. There is
nothing visible from the outside and I was there for about 20
minutes parked in a long stretch of Cars facing busy shops, they
break the back of the window and go into the back seat into the
trunk. I had no choice but to keep on my way to the airport
and the woman at the rental car drop off, barely noticed. She
said it was the third one that day. Wow. I filled in a very
short form with my insurance info and was on my way I was
contacted about a month later with an invoice for the damage
by cynical side assumes a rental car places making a chunk of
change themselves. I live in Chicago, so it's not like I
don't have built in guard up. But this thing is so specific to
this area. It's odd. Wow. There you go.
Adam Curry: So I've been tracking new stories about the
far right. Which is ill defined but it's in this season of half
the world going into elections. We have to discredit the far
right wherever we can.
John C Dvorak: The threat to democracy whatever
Adam Curry: far right means it's very unclear. I mean, just Trump
far right or is he just right. Now is heytvelt is far right or
is he just right? Boys a conservative or what? What does
it really mean? And NPR is very helpful. They have they put
together was a rather long report. So I chopped it down and
specifically I chopped out some pieces about gab pay because
she's boring. Now, you know gab Are you familiar with gab pay?
Vaguely. Yeah. That's not really a P. No, no Joe G A big like gab
from the social the social gab. Yeah, gab. No, I don't know
anything about gab. Yeah. Well, it's an alternative payment
system. But that kind of distracted distracted from what
they're trying to do about defining what the far right is
and what the far right are doing so
Unknown: elitist voices of America. This is NPR or PBS
people in the business of opposing vaccination or
unwelcome election results have a particular mistrust of big
tech companies and financial institutions. Sounds sounds like
podcasters. And for those looking to opt out, there is a
group of people who've been building alternatives the far
right and PRs League and went to a conference in Las Vegas to
find out more. The
crowd included anti vaccine activists, Trump adherence and
Christian conservatives. Most were entrepreneurs in these
movements, looking for ways to build what they call the freedom
economy. We are
here together in America because we are people who have either
been canceled, or we really understand what is going on in
America today. As it relates to cancel isation
leave and go daddy leave all these woke corporations behind
and start spending your money with organizations who have your
best interests in mind. Those were conference speakers Chris
Wagner and Megan green. It's hard to say how large this
market is. One recent report from a conservative shopping app
estimated there are at least 80,000 self described freedom
economy, small businesses in the country today. Coffee companies,
Razor companies dating apps plumbers, at one point, pillow
salesman turned pro Trump conspiracy theorist Michael
indels, my pillow company had almost $300 million in revenue.
Adam Curry: So are they just basically saying all preppers
are now far right? Is that what I'm understanding? Like if you
want to be a part of the Freedom economy?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea what they're saying or where
they're headed and why poor Mike Lyndale got brought into the
picture because he's successful is beyond me.
Adam Curry: Well, it's so it sounds like it's Christian
nationalists is people who don't want to use regular payment
system who want to have different dating apps this
confusing. Let's see if we can learn more from NPR, you will
learn nothing. No. This you think
Unknown: in some religious communities building a parallel
society is an old idea. Oh, we're going to Abernathy Mr.
Singh. Oh, I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: This religious societies like Fredericksburg,
Texas. I'm paying attention NPR,
Unknown: professor of religion at Queen's University. One
example, he says is fundamentalist Christians after
the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925.
Adam Curry: Oh, the scopes. John. Can you explain the Scopes
Monkey Trial?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this was a trial with William Jennings
Bryan, who's a two time loser as a presidential candidate going
after the teaching of evolution in school. So you know these,
they're trying to equate. This has been done a couple of times
we try to show you if you remember the So a couple years
ago when they vaxcel You don't believe in vaccinations you
don't believe in evolution to you don't believe in evolution.
You don't believe the sunrises that kind of thing. So the
Scopes Monkey Trial was about evolution and being taught.
Adam Curry: And how did that end up? I mean, why why would ended
up
John C Dvorak: with it being if the teacher got fined. William
Jennings Bryan won the case because he did the I guess a
good job of defending, not teaching evolution $100 and a
fine came down a big fine came down. I think it was five bucks
$100 According to week, no idea it was less than 100 Well,
Wikipedia says 100 100 Okay, well, I could have been 100. But
it was a joke fine. So the whole thing wasn't taken seriously.
Well, it's
Adam Curry: all very serious business. Now with NPR.
Unknown: An example he says is fundamentalist Christians after
the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925.
They retreated from the public and they created a kind of
network, a kind of parallel society, their own publishing
houses, their own media, their own magazines newsletters, that
the entrepreneurs gathered in Vegas are a broader fusion of
communities. We asked her two years of COVID-19 Stolen
election narratives and transgender visibility. He says,
Oh, they're embattled subculture.
They feel like they're on the outs. They believe the
government's are against them, the intellectuals are against
them that that science is moving in the opposite direction.
Adding in a system full of current de conspiracism helps to
frame building a separate untainted economy as a matter of
survival. financial organizations can freeze or shut
down accounts. It's sometimes referred to as deep banking.
figures on the right have framed this happening as political
persecution for years. But it's nearly impossible to know how
often the banking happens because banks and payment
processors rarely spell out their reasons. Oh,
Adam Curry: man, these people are nuts. Do they not see what's
happening? I love what NPR is doing here. The basically,
unless you just got purple hair and we're walking along and
getting along to be along and declare yourself non binary. You
are far right. That's it. That's all that it takes.
Unknown: More often than not financial experts believe people
lose their services over mundane technical violations. Yeah,
Adam Curry: like saying evacs these aren't vaccines. That's
technically they're not vaccines, oops, lost, lost my
bank.
Unknown: Someone uses their account the wrong way. But there
is another category of very high profile examples. Here
Adam Curry: we go. What could it be?
Unknown: The bulk of it happens as a response to some tragedy in
the real world.
That's Megan squire with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
About violent episodes like the deadly 2017 White Power rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia.
Adam Curry: That's the first time I've heard right, fine
people. That's the first time I've heard it described as the
white power rally. Was it a right, a white power rally? That
I recall now this is changing history? MPR well, you get
John C Dvorak: to do that. If you're going to make the point.
You're going to make it but you have to make points. You gotta
change history. Yeah.
Adam Curry: That's part of the Marxist way. You can Yeah.
Unknown: Yeah, a whole slew of mass shootings explicitly
motivated by hate.
Adam Curry: What? Like, what other what other mass shootings
are? They're the ones that I love you.
Unknown: Another big wave of debunking came after January 6,
and squires says she's watched far right extremists experiment
with building infrastructure to get around deep banking and deep
platforming for years. Oh,
Adam Curry: you mean podcasting? 2.0 is now far right.
Unknown: They'll talk about how we made this payment. We need to
make our own web hosting companies. We need to make our
own social media we need to make our own domain registrar's, we
need to make our own computers.
It's a huge challenge. It takes planning technical skill, money
and finding enough customers. Within each of these movements,
anti vaccine anti semitic conspiracists and conservative
Christians. The benefits of supporting each other appear to
outweigh any reputational risks. Again and again. There was a
clear message so long as you're not breaking laws, we'll work
with you Hagen NPR news
John C Dvorak: got that story go.
Adam Curry: Just ended it basically is Christians you're
white via you don't like the government. You don't like
vaccines. You're far right. There it is. These people are
not cool man. Come by Trump Bible, by
John C Dvorak: the way. You got one. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: got my trump Bible and I have to say why did Trump
collectable
John C Dvorak: it does? Well, you know, Obama had a Bible too.
Adam Curry: I did not was there an Obama Bible?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it was done by the American Bible
Association. It was a special Obama Bible. And it has name
inside and Oh,
Adam Curry: really? Because Trump didn't do that. There's no
trump in this Bible.
John C Dvorak: Oh, This the Obama Bible has Obama in the
Bible. Oh,
Adam Curry: man, no one said anything about that now did they
know why would they know? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: I didn't know somebody said somebody posted on
Instagram with a bunch of pictures of they have a copy of
the Obama Bible.
Adam Curry: Well, the Trump Bibles a little disappointing.
Yeah, I mean, the packaging was real nice. That that was good.
But the product itself, the pages, were not all cut well, so
they stuck together. You know what I mean?
John C Dvorak: It's a cheap production. But you tell us.
Yeah, that
Adam Curry: was as I said, it was a little disappointing.
Yeah, I mean, embassy is King James, which is just like what?
King James is hard as hard to hard to read.
John C Dvorak: Well, it's a lot of people like it. Yeah, a
Adam Curry: lot of people. A lot of people think it's the only
one for sure.
John C Dvorak: We I had a guy who's going back and forth with
me on the email about this. And what do you say? He says that if
you're a biblical scholar, you like the King James, because you
get it's just the best. You know, there's also a queen named
Webster, when is the best in my opinion.
Adam Curry: Did you know there's a queen James Bible?
John C Dvorak: That sold in San Francisco? Yep, you bet.
Adam Curry: And they've changed some stuff on a second. Where
was it? I thought I wrote this down somewhere. I thought it was
so funny. Really? Yeah. You
John C Dvorak: dropped a joke already.
Adam Curry: You're gonna No, no, I didn't drop the joke.
John C Dvorak: I seem to be fumbling. No, I'm not fumbling.
Adam Curry: That just came up. All of a sudden I was oh, here
it is under trans Maoism. Of course. What is the purpose of
the of the Queen James Bible? Here it is. The verse see Romans
127, which the King James Version reads, and likewise also
the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their
lust, one toward another, men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of
their error which was meet Whoa. Then we have so the English
Standard Version of men likewise gave up natural relations with
women and were consumed with passion for one another men
committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves
the due penalty for their error. The Queen James Version reads
men with men working that which is pagan and unseemly, all
right, for for this cause God gave the eye idolaters up onto
vile affections receiving in themselves that recompence of
their error, which was meet other verses. So that was it.
That's it. I don't know man.
John C Dvorak: That was enlightening.
Adam Curry: I wasn't really I guess sorry. Back to the
doomsday because the preppers it seems are not just the crazy
right wing white Christian nationalists
Unknown: some of the wealthiest Americans shelling out serious
cabbage for state of the our doomsday bunkers the price tag
for the Bougie us bunker $100 million they're designed to
defend against things like a political revolt and natural
disasters. national correspondent group Jenkins who
was one of the coolest guys I know is on the story. And there
he is.
Harris we've thought about it all of this you got to decide
where you gonna go if doomsday heads and or you won't be on one
of these. These fallout shelters back in the Cold War we were
worried about Russia and Soviet nukes well now we're worried
about World War Three from Iran, China, North Korea, natural
disasters, political civil unrest and of course, a power
grid collapse bottom line Eris. People are bunkering up and
they're willing to spin big.
The wealthy people in the US they don't want to suffer if
they go in a bomb shelter. They want a basically an extension of
their lifestyle in their bunker.
Ron Hubbard, the CEO of Atlas survival shelter says he saw a
spike in demand when Ukraine broke out in war when Israel
broke out and he builds these spectrums across the economic
spectrum now for 20 grand Harris, you can get the basic
bomb shelter. That's a simple one, but it does the job dig
deeper in your pocket. You can get the 100 Grand Big Boy
bunker, but take a look at if you spend 400,000 The high end
bunkers declined for this one is anonymous. But another one of
his clients who was happy with the big boy had this to say
a lot of people waste money on things that just don't matter.
For a little bit of peace of mind. It's worth it. It's worth
it. 100%
John C Dvorak: just to have just know that hey, just in case
Unknown: we have it. There
Adam Curry: you go. Seems like rich people to me. This
John C Dvorak: again is back to the 50s and 60s. You know these
same bankers used to be a popular item back in the late
50s and 60s Before the invention of the thermonuclear bomb. First
you had your a bomb. Yeah, and by the way, there's a book by
Linus Pauling. You should everyone should go read it's
called no more warnings. explains this in great detail.
First you had your a bomb. Yeah. Then you had the the fusion bomb
the H bomb. And then you had this newest bomb, which is the
three ways got three elements has got an A bomb and H bomb.
And then an outer coating of a uranium 239 makes the bomb. I
think it's 239. But it's one of the uranium and it makes the
bomb super efficient. So it doesn't have to be as big. But
unfortunately and this one this bomb was invented, it leaves
radiation that lasts about 100 years. So the idea of building a
bunker wasn't going to do any good because you'd have to live
to be over 100 years old to get past the radiation outside. And
so they stopped making these bomb shelters and probably the
late 60s and they never started making them again. This is a
scam.
Adam Curry: Well, there's nothing new under the sun. We're
just going you know history is circular. Here we go. This means
John By the way that we can predict the next thing that's
coming up. What else did we have during that time?
John C Dvorak: What did we have during that time?
Adam Curry: That we must have well the Cuban Missile I
John C Dvorak: came with the top my head but his other bull crap.
Yeah, there's tons of stuff.
Adam Curry: Do we have any kind of any kind of medical stuff
going on? Or a war of the worlds was not? When did that happen?
Well,
John C Dvorak: there was a war of the worlds where that movie I
think came out in the late 40s So I don't know if that applies.
Adam Curry: Maybe
John C Dvorak: it will be good it'll be worse version of the
movie. It'll
Adam Curry: be Yeah, but we'd be good for for good old fashioned
blanks.
John C Dvorak: Okay, flying. Alien hoax alien landed in the
50s Mainly when they had all these flying saucer movies and
people referring saucers everywhere. And then they did
put the kibosh on reporting. So now obviously a saucer Shut up.
I
Adam Curry: think I think that that will be a good one alien
invasion. Yeah, that we can almost all for that, but in the
book for episode 1000 and
John C Dvorak: put it in Episode 3000.
Adam Curry: So we have Yes, I did
John C Dvorak: say as a little aside, I've gotten to decide
clip just kind of break the break that tense, tense moment,
a tense,
Adam Curry: tense moment of the bomb shelters. Yes.
John C Dvorak: This Did you see this? This is United Airlines.
Again, United Airlines audit control. Hey, if you don't feel
safe, I'm sorry. This is the pilot a woman probably decides
to come by she didn't get dressed. And she comes wandering
on she's I don't know if she's drunk. Nobody knows. But this is
this is also on somebody's site. So the they explain it's got a
voiceover but let's go. Okay, if
Unknown: you don't feel safe, get off the airplane. This is
your captain speaking but never like this. I'll stop and
we'll fly the airplane. Don't worry. I'm gonna let my co pilot
fly it. He's a man.
It's a total meltdown. The pilot boarded in her street clothes
and address the passengers over the intercom. Passenger Pam
O'Neill couldn't believe what was happening.
She said let's take a vote. How many of you would like to take
off now with me dressed as I am? Or would you prefer that I take
10 minutes to get changed into my cute little uniform. Then she
started talking about her divorce and political
candidates. The minute she mentioned that gentleman stood
up and just yelled, whoa, enough. You're scaring me.
Another passenger Randy Reese got up to leave and gave a
running commentary on social media pilot also insulted a
couple on poor
Can I send you Okay, so did I purposely offend you? I did.
Dancers yet. But it says please disarm doors
after 20 passengers insisted on getting off the United Airlines
flight the pilot quietly left the aircraft. Okay, if you don't
feel safe, get off the airplane. Wow.
Adam Curry: What's going on the United
John C Dvorak: Ignite? Is it good troll?
Adam Curry: They've got this. So they have a pilot a female pilot
in street clothes yet? The CEO is a dude in a dress. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: where does it go?
Adam Curry: The world has gone nuts.
John C Dvorak: Well, United man. You know, it's so funny how I
mean both United and Boeing which are always attached at the
hips as the beginning of of Boeing, you know and united came
out of Boeing. Yes. It's like they both self destruct right in
front of our very eyes at the same time. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it seems I would I just saw that spirit. The Boeing
and Airbus have agreed that spirit Aerosystems will split it
up. So Boeing will take back the Boeing part of a spirit into
their will fold them back in and, and then the other part of
spirit will go on make parts for Airbus. Speaking of Airbus A
quote some Airbus captain said, You know I usually start off my
public address announcements in his uniform, no doubt, and he'll
throw in and in the morning ladies and gentlemen and he said
I had a passenger say ITM to me as he got off the plane and
Trenton I said in the morning and he explained back in the
morning, it was a great moment connection is protection. Yes.
John C Dvorak: A lot of pilots that listen to this show pilots
Adam Curry: air traffic control, never never hesitate to throw
out and in the morning to someone in aviation to just
throw it out. You'd be very surprised. Well, I have a little
entre mon clip back
Unknown: to a growing scam with a very unpleasant name. It's
called Pink butchering.
Adam Curry: First heard here on your no agenda show we were
months months ahead of this warning, warning you about this
scam. We've been tried to get some of the scammers on the air.
There are no no agenda producers who have been who fallen into
this trap of hey, are you picking me up? Hey, I can't
remember your name but I have this number in my phone who are
you know
Unknown: that to a growing scam with a very unpleasant name.
It's called pig butchering. It refers to how scammers are
luring in victims than stealing their life savings is in
everything from dating apps to random text messages. Notice
Adam Curry: there's not just random Well, I guess it is kind
of random text messages. I
Unknown: don't like to term. It comes from the scammers who
liken it to the practice of fattening hogs before slaughter.
It's a growing scam online known as pig butchering. Scammers send
innocent sounding messages to you on a dating app or in a
group chat. They get you talking then luring you into believing
that a small investment in cryptocurrency is exploding in
value, fatten
them up before they slaughter them, they steal their money.
Officials in New
York have now seized nearly two dozen web domains from IP
addresses in China. They say we're used to carry out the
fraud with cases from California and Illinois to Pennsylvania
victims, it's a lot easier to fall for this than you might
think. Because the scammers often get some of your personal
information off the web. So
they're using all of your social presence as well, to find a
connection with you to gain your trust. And then to lead you out
of money. This
woman in Brooklyn says she was scammed out of $106,000 Another
lost 118,000 The
way he was talking like you know like, Oh, I'll take care of you.
You know, like just building that relationship that report
the accounts
look legit. At first victims see some fake dividends from their
investment and can even withdraw small amount of money. But when
you try to cash out, you're locked out and your money is
gone. If they
say I love you, or if they say love or crypto within a week
just do not engage. On study estimates
pick butchering scammers have made more than $75 billion
worldwide.
Adam Curry: Love or crypto I love you want to buy some crypto
John C Dvorak: or crypto, I wanted
Adam Curry: to say I never like it when I hear that US officials
have well seize the domains. But what they're really saying is
they just grabbed the DNS entries, which is always
concerning. I don't like that at all. But under what authority do
though, under what authority do they do that? Speaking of
digital crypto scams, we now have a little more information
on the inevitable and forthcoming digital Euro. And
this was quite an eye opener because now we finally are
starting to understand how it will work. It will right now the
banking lobby is the idea behind the digital euro is that this
will be a digital euro currency that would be issued by the
European Central Bank and it would be in direct competition
with other banks now the banks have lobbied to put some
important curtailing some some what's the word I'm looking for?
Some important limits Yes, some important limits on the digital
Euro. But there's now a PR arm known as Positive Money Europe,
who are of course funded by the Open Society Institute the Soros
Foundation. It's really It's too funny. But they are the
promotional arm and well of course they showed up on the
news to talk about
Unknown: it. Well here to help us understand what exactly the
digital euro is and how it could change our lives is Vicki Van
Eyck of Positive Money Europe, a nonprofit based in Brussels
campaigning for a more transparent and fair monetary
system. First of all, how would the digital Euro actually work?
I think before we go into actually how the digital euro
would work. I think we need to stay take a step back and just
real quick explain the difference between private and
public money. Though
Adam Curry: we have a difference now private and public money
we're already have to come Hundreds of Euro no
Unknown: public money is money created by the state or the
central bank, when it issues coins and banknotes. So in
Europe and in the Eurozone, that would be the European Central
Bank that creates physical cash euro notes for Eurozone
countries like France, for instance. However, the majority
of the money that we use on a daily basis and that we interact
interact with is actually bank deposits, which is private bank
money. And the distinction is really key to the digital Euro.
Because private bank money is essentially a claim on the
private bank, it's a promise from the private bank to pay you
the money that you have in your bank account. And, of course,
there's a degree of risk attached to that because the
bank is a commercial enterprise that can go bankrupt. And as
opposed to private banks, the central bank cannot go bankrupt.
And so public money, which is essentially what the digital
euro is going to be, and I'll go into that, but public money is
essentially what creates trust in our monetary system. Because
I trust that the day that I want to take my money in my bank
account, and I want to transfer it into physical cash, that I
can do that. And so essentially, what the digital euro is
supposed to do is to be a digital equivalent of the
physical cache. So the only public money that we have access
to today, the digital equivalent of that, and it does this
because it wants to reply to the increasing demand for digital
payments.
Adam Curry: Okay, so she's lying, obviously, because
there's no increasing demand for digital payments. Everybody has
digital payments, but they want to create two types of money a
second type of money. In fact, on their website, they have a
whole page dedicated to helicopter money, bailouts for
people, not for banks. The COVID 19 pandemic has called and
caused millions of people across Europe to lose their jobs and
slashed their incomes. The European Central Bank has
prioritized multinational companies over ordinary people
in the response to the crisis, helicopter money, direct cash
transfers from the ECB to Eurozone citizens would help
build a post Coronavirus economy, which puts regular
people first. Now,
John C Dvorak: wait a minute. So they call it helicopter money.
Yeah, named after that moment in history would ever know. Where
they know what did where they threw the money out of a
helicopter, remember that? They'd never throw it out of a
helicopter, John, my understanding is they actually
threw money out of a helicopter. But okay, if the
Adam Curry: ECB European Central Bank implemented helicopter
money now we could stop COVID-19 causing a severe and long
lasting recession. So what I'm hearing her say is that the
European Central Bank could now create new money, that route
that they could just throw into your bank account. And, and it
wouldn't go to bank. So it's really, it's a way to bail out
the European Central Bank. by inflating your money supply.
It's a beautiful system, let's learn more how
Unknown: they try to influence their proceedings. Those
proceedings, like how big is their influence,
Adam Curry: their influence has been huge banks, talking about
the banks not liking this are
Unknown: important to the ECB. But also they have a huge
banking lobby, right. So the ways that the banks have been
able to influence the digital euro is a in the beginning,
really ensuring that the digital euro would only be used for
their infrastructure. So they were really scared about getting
competition from a public payment infrastructure. So this
is why Originally, the ECB mainly referred to banks as the
main distributors of digital of the digital euros. This has
opened up so in the latest proposal on the digital Euro.
It's basically all payment service providers, which as I
mentioned, that includes credit, credit institutions, electronic
money institutions, but even public authorities as positive
money. We really welcome this opening up because we do think
it provides some healthy competition to banks. Another
way that the banks have really tried to influence the digital
euro is on the holding limits and also on remuneration. So the
ECB has made it clear that the digital euro is not going to be
remunerated, we're not going to get interest on it, which makes
the debate on the whole holding limits even more important,
right? Because imagine I'm a consumer and I have I opened my
banking app and I have two seemingly very similar accounts.
One with bank deposits, digital euros, I can have an unlimited
amount, it can be remunerated in my savings account. And on the
other hand, I have an account with a limited 3000 euros,
digitally central bank digital euros that is unremunerated. A
lot of people might not end up using those central bank digital
euros. And that's why we think it's so important that the
limits remain high or that there are no limits at all.
Adam Curry: So we're down to the final
John C Dvorak: piece of the puzzle. What she says at the
end, what's important that they remain high, that the limits
remain high or no limits. Yes.
Adam Curry: On the other words,
John C Dvorak: no limits. Yes,
Adam Curry: exactly. That's what the European Central Bank is
fighting for. Right now, is it okay so you'll have this digital
Euro account next to your regular account. But but on the
digital Euro account, you can't get any interest and you can't
turn it into cash that you can hold in your hand. But then they
say on their website instead of pumping more money into
financial markets as the ECB is doing with quantitative easing,
the bank will deploy helicopter money. By sending 1000 euros to
every adult in the euro zone, the ECB would provide exactly
the kind of powerful boost needed to kickstart the economy
once the COVID-19 public health crisis is over. This is
insanity.
John C Dvorak: I thought the health crisis was over
Adam Curry: not not according to them. They want to just use this
to print money and throw your way. And I guess I don't know
like that. It's all on paper. It's not in paper. It's just all
digital. This is not a good idea. This is very, very dumb.
John C Dvorak: There's something scam ish about it. Yeah. Well,
Adam Curry: we'll see how long it takes. Before we get the
digital dollar. We'll let the Europeans work out the bugs. Oh,
yeah, we
John C Dvorak: let them experiment. Let them work out
the bugs. That's crazy. To get back to domestic stories. Okay.
I cut down Biden's stupid speech in Baltimore at the bridge boy
so I have one of those Redux clips of Biden jacking away
making no sense at all but I will say this if you listen
carefully when the bridge first got hit he made the comment that
he took the train over the bridge and if you look at the
bridge
Adam Curry: miss I missed all of this I paid no attention to this
story so I'm glad you got yeah
John C Dvorak: he said Yeah, I took I love going across that
bridge I took the train sometimes drove and it has not a
bridge it just no train tracks on the bridge. He never took the
train over the bridge. And if you look at the bridge it's one
of those lump bridges that you go along and you gotta go drive
uphill and just train couldn't even go over that bridge if
there was tracks on it. But the right wing got all nuts about
all the radio guys oh, you said it was a took the train and guys
in idiot I'm sure
Adam Curry: not just the right wing. I'm sure the intellectual
darkweb was all over.
John C Dvorak: Everybody went all over jumped all over. But
you'd think that it would feed back into the system. He doubles
down to in within this specie Oh, he again. Says he took the
train a week or two after he already said it and there's no
risk. It's unbelievable how dumb this guy is. But this is a two
minute clip of Biden This is compressed down is from a 10
minute Yammer that if you try to make sense of it you won't
Unknown: say to my Dad Dad. They're mispronouncing Ballmer,
my dad and the Biden Please sit down.
Adam Curry: What is this AI or is this really the president?
No. Okay, here's
John C Dvorak: the deal. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. I had
to run it through Adobe. Just yet the noise out of it. This is
horrible. It's a terrible clip. But it's you can hear it all
right, by the way, but it is Adobe eyes. It is not AI. This
is this is taken right from the video.
Unknown: I've mispronounced from Ballmer by dad and the Biden
Please sit down. Biden family goes all the way back being
Waterman in this bay for a long, long time back in their mid
1800s. And my father, born and raised here in Baltimore. And
there's a strong strong connection so that sadly in the
region as well. I liked that, Connie. Oh, all right. I was
just briefed by the United unified command about the
ongoing impact of this tragic collapse. With Francis Scott Key
Bridge last Tuesday. The damage is devastating. In our hearts
are still breaking. Eight, eight construction workers were out of
the water. When the bridge fell. Six lost their lives. Most are
immigrants but all were Maryland. Hard working strong
and selfless, say found them as a god, I've been there feeling
like having a black hole in your chest, but can be sucked in
unable to breathe. The anger, pain. Depth of loss is so
profound. And we know it's hard to believe. And you're probably
not going to believe me, but it can tell you now for personal
experience, the day is going to come when the memory of your
loved one as you walk by that park or the church or something
that you shared together is going to bring a smile to your
lips before it brings a tear to your eye. You're gonna happen
it's gonna take a while but I promise you, it will happen and
that's when you know you're going to be able to make it also
never forget the contribution of these man made to this city
first. Our first is our prior to reopen the port as one of the
nation's largest shipping hub and as the top port In America
both an importing and exporting of cars and light trucks did
number one today by administrations and obviously
the first tranche of dislocated worker grads Betsy phrased but
his times Paul it is there to make sure it helps create jobs
for workers involved in the cleanup of this incident.
Adam Curry: All right. I got a call this man we can't do this
gig and again, this is no good. doesn't even sound like it's not
funny this way.
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry, that really isn't not that far from
him mumbling through that speech, so I wouldn't complain
too much. But it's like he says nothing any Oh, how come
everything's about him?
Adam Curry: Well, he's the president. He's got hairy legs.
Whereas you would do it all.
John C Dvorak: You got hairy legs? He has
Adam Curry: Goodness gracious. Get this give this guy the hook.
This problem out please
John C Dvorak: get to clapping these local yokels of Baltimore
Baltimore. He's like Sam Bama. No more guys. It's just good
that IQ.
Adam Curry: Can we do some farmer news?
John C Dvorak: I have no farmer clips. I have some farmer clips.
Well, I'm glad that he listened to him
Unknown: cases of prostate cancer worldwide are expected to
double by 2040. Researchers attribute the surge in part to
men living longer, but they say the numbers reinforce the need
for testing and early intervention.
Adam Curry: Yeah, hi, prostate cancer on the rise. Double by
2040. I don't know why. I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing how
that happens. But the real news of course, is the real news. We
need to advertise some more fat losing drugs ozempic Big news.
Welcome
Unknown: back here. So have you have you heard about this
members of the popular warehouse club Costco can now add an
unexpected item at the checkout counter. We're talking about
drugs for weight loss, right. And this is definitely gaskets
here with details and stuff, guys.
Good morning. People pop into Costco for discounts. It's not
an ad or anything on toilet paper and massive jars of peanut
butter. But the wholesale giant has also started selling health
care including checkups, therapy, and now this new weight
loss program that could include prescriptions for popular
obesity drugs.
Adam Curry: Boy, Costco really went all out. Like let's keep
Listen, guys, we want to do a buy with you. And we're thinking
we could get Stephanie over here. And you know, Steph, yes,
Steph, can we have staff report on just how awesome we are as
Costco.
Unknown: A wholesale giant with a reputation for having just
about everything come? Oh, yeah. What is this place? Costco is
launching a new weight loss program.
Adam Curry: Listen, this is an ad. I mean, literally, but what
is you know,
John C Dvorak: what is this play? Mercy. It is a native ad.
We talked about this all the time and you're stunned. This is
Adam Curry: a five minute ad. What is this place?
Unknown: Costco is launching a new weight loss program for its
members together with the company's health care partner,
Sesame
20% of the searches that we were seeing on Sesame were already
four. We lost the nice, so we figured this was the perfect
time to offer something. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: talent telemedicine, that company they work with
comprehensive they're working 100
John C Dvorak: interrupt this clip. Sure, sure. to Costco, you
know, they did an audiology thing. That's where they
started. Yeah, that's right. And you bitched about that a lot.
But it were irks me is for a while they had this print
service, that these big giant printers and you go in there and
drop off your photos, you get all kinds of aid, right? You can
do all kinds of daddy's cancel it out of the blue. Oh, that's
gone the print service. Yeah, they took it out. I just think
that's bad.
Adam Curry: This is why you're not invited onto NBC Today Show
to do the native ad because you have the wrong message
Unknown: for $179. Every three months, patients will get an
individualized program with clinical consultations on
nutritional diet. And if needed a prescription for one of the
new popular weight loss medications. Do you see the
excitement around these new medications as driving people to
sign up for this plan with Costco?
Oh, for sure. Oh, I see. What we're seeing is a reaction to
folks hearing from friends and loved ones and hearing stories
in the media about the fact that there are treatments that work
Bob ResNet joined Costcos new health program on day one and
says he's impressive plan will be tailored to his needs.
I think it's really appealing. When I look at as a program a
little hole that it's affecting different parts of my life from
diet, exercise, general lifestyle that I can do
Adam Curry: whatever I want, just take the shot
Unknown: drug components couldn't be helpful if it's if
it's a fit for Costco
adventure may provide access to the prescription. But the plan
does not include the cost of the medication that could run
roughly $1,000 a month. Ah, so far, very few insurance
companies will cover it, meaning most people would have to pay
out of pocket. Even with those high price tags. Goldman Sachs
predicts that 13% of US adults, roughly 15 million people might
be on one of these drugs by 2030. Right
now, the projections are sky high if you also factor in
potential other use cases for these drugs, because right now
they're being studied in cardiovascular events and sleep
apnea. In Alzheimer's, that number could go much, much
higher, which of
Adam Curry: course is only if you are obese and then that's
why it's going to be on Medicare as well. You know, you could
have a heart attack better get the ozempic Put it on Medicare.
Unknown: Costco is not the first company to offer access to the
wildly popular medications. Weight Watchers, lifetime gyms
and the new fitness app all have ways that customers can access
prescriptions, but needing a prescription is not the same as
being able to pay for one. And as more companies offer ways to
get the weight loss drugs. Affordability is often a major
hurdle for patients, the medications could help
the cost of the drug is going to be equal to a house payment. And
for many, that's just not an option.
John C Dvorak: Ma'am or the size of a house.
Adam Curry: Could you wrap it up with Hoda, please, we'd like
Hoda to be in our piece. Okay,
Unknown: so Steph sesame is calling this America's most
affordable weight loss program. However, you mentioned in your
piece that the drugs are not included in the program. So why
wouldn't you just go to your doctor or somewhere else and
get their aid. So what they say is the good news is a plan
that's going to do much more than just offer you a
prescription and it's going to tailor some nutrition for you
and offer some other kinds of advice but giant jars of peanut
butter, you're absolutely right. It's still gonna cost the same.
Most insurance companies don't cover it. Medicare doesn't cover
it. Normally that there are some companies and even the state of
North Carolina that did offer some coverage for these drugs
and have now decided to roll it back. Because it's just simply
too expensive.
John C Dvorak: Right. Was that the point of the article to tell
people to back off?
Adam Curry: No, no, because we got fat out formerly fat out
coming in here. You gotta go walk
Unknown: past the 64 pack of cooking. Think you need an
online? Yeah. So when you combine until form?
Yeah, generics are not on the horizon anytime soon. So
Adam Curry: stay away from these people. Please stay away from
this. This is not good for you. We'll see the fit. It's a Fan
Fan cycle. You just know it's common.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I can do a clip Blitz. Oh,
Adam Curry: okay. Hold on a second. I was unprepared for the
clip bits.
John C Dvorak: I was do okay.
Adam Curry: All right. clipless. John, what do you got for the
clip? Let's,
John C Dvorak: let's start with the Blinken, Ukraine, NATO
Ukraine.
Unknown: The determination of every country represented here
at NATO remains rock solid. We will do everything we can.
Allies will do everything that they can to ensure that Ukraine
has what it needs back to continue to deal with Russia's
ongoing aggression against Ukraine and aggression that gets
worse aggression. With every passing day, Ukraine will become
a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a
bridge to that membership, and to create a clear pathway for
for Ukraine moving forward. So
of course, we believe that Ukraine deserves to be a member
of NATO and that this should happen soon as sooner rather
than later through through to.
John C Dvorak: Flying in migrants
Unknown: flying immigrants into the United States. There's a
controversial program by the Biden administration has come
under scrutiny all week long. today. It's now facing even more
backlash. And today's Aryan pazar has the latest update
attorneys general from 20 Different states together with
an organization called America first legal are now suing the
Biden administration. That's over a parole program which
allows immigrants to fly directly into the United States.
So the states already sued over this program a few months ago,
but the court dismissed the case. The states now filed a
motion to reconsider this decision and pick the case up
again since last fall, over 380,000 migrants flew directly
into the US. America first legal points out that people in parole
status are immediately given work permits and are entitled to
everything kind of welfare benefit after being present for
five years.
John C Dvorak: Mexico this is interesting Mexico Ecuador
embassy issue.
Unknown: Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with
Ecuador after security forces broke into the Mexican embassy
there. And piers ADA Peralta has more Ecuadorian
police officers forced their way into the embassy in order to
arrest the country's former vice president Jorge glas, who is
facing an investigation for corruption and bribery had been
seeking asylum in the Mexican embassy. The Mexican President
had said that they would try to fly glass out of Ecuador out of
respect for asylum laws. In a statement the Ecuadorian
presidency said they would not allow quote any criminal to stay
free. Mexico's foreign minister called the raid a flagrant
violation of the Vienna Convention, Robert Canseco, the
chief of the Consular Section at the Mexican embassy tried to
stop Ecuadorian police from entering but he was thrown to
the ground. This is not possible. He said. This is
madness. It Palta in the US Mexico City.
Adam Curry: I have some comments on your clip Blitz, one, Ukraine
versus Russia, Ukraine in general. But according to the
six staff members who are let go, who all want to remain
anonymous, president's Lenski of Ukraine has acquired Highgrove
house, the former residence of King Charles and Queen Camilla
for 20 million pounds. Just thought that was rather
interesting.
John C Dvorak: In England, yes. So that's where he's gonna flee
to most likely. And the Lord is Alinsky at 20 million pounds out
of the blue is just a Friday, what am I?
Adam Curry: What was wrong with you? And the rumor out there now
they didn't have the elections in March. So I was wrong
Zelinsky term officially expires at the end of May. And the word
is that operation, my Don's three is scheduled for around
that time, which means there will be protests in the square,
same same script, only Russia will be blamed obviously. And
and that will result in killing off of anybody who is against
the current regime, ie the US intelligence services. And we'll
continue on our merry way. Then on the migrants, or as we'd like
to call them newcomers, newcomers newcomers. The March
jobs report. This was big news everywhere Morningstar March
jobs report forecasts show still strong but slowing hiring gains.
This is all good news. Because we can keep the economy hot.
Because we have immigrant workforce coming in. The
newcomers are going to save us because I mean, they're
literally saying it now that you're saying it out loud. Well,
because of immigrants. Everything's gonna be okay.
Yeah, literally. Here we have it here. Immigrant immigration
helps us jobs grow faster than Powell speed limit. At the heart
of the issue was known as the neutral payrolls growth, a speed
limit of sorts for how fast payrolls can grow without
tightening the labor market. And stoking wage pressures.
Remember, this is what our insider said. Economists contend
economists contend that immigration is boosting that
monkey monthly break even rate which they estimate anywhere
from 160,000 to 265,000. This year, that's markedly higher
than roughly 100,000 pace Powell identified back in 2022, as the
long run cruising speed for jobs growth, and compares with
average monthly gains of 251,000. Last year. So we can
also conclude from this that all those people who said, I don't
want to work after COVID Now, remember the great resignation?
Yep. The great
John C Dvorak: resignation is it's your phone clips that we
played like, probably about five or 10 shows ago where this kid
says i i won't work in this. I get paid. The guy just
graduated. I'm not working less. I get $100,000 a year so I quit.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, it's your fault. So now the financial
system had to bring in to open up the borders and bringing
everybody in the newcomers are here to take your job. A lot of
them apparently, like the Haitians are going to
California. But I thought that would go
John C Dvorak: to your hard workers that
Adam Curry: they work harder than our kids. I have a related
clip. Okay, last one, because we got to take a break. We're going
to
John C Dvorak: Wisconsin using COVID funds. For migrants
Unknown: that capital of Wisconsin took $700,000 from a
COVID Relief Fund. and allocated towards illegal immigrants. The
money was being spent on utility bills, bus passes gas cards and
more. Republican state senator Louis Strobel is now
investigating the issue. His office told NTD that it's not
the first time COVID money is being misused adding that this
is a direct result of the out of control spending happening in
Washington and that lawmakers should rein in spending and say
no to these massive spending packages that lead to programs
like this one.
Adam Curry: You know what's coming there's only one way to
solve this digital dollar give everybody a little wallet. Yeah,
digital dollar hago newcomer
John C Dvorak: Yeah, unbelievable. No scammed.
Adam Curry: Well da and with that, I want to thank you for
your courage in the morning to you the man who put the C in the
crappy quake say hello to my friend on the other end the one

when we first moved here, there was a great restaurant offered
to 90 called Navajo grill and it was a classic they had great
beef they had a partnership with the the brothers who do high

feel like it's partially my fault. This is what happens when
you when you don't support the businesses that you really love
and and I had to remind myself this could happen to us. I just
wanted to say that because it's a value for value of supporting
stuff that you value, even when you don't have to is important.
Consider that as we thank people who supported us below the
executive and Associate Executive producer level and
that goes all the way down to $1. And we love people who come
in under $50 which is typically for reasons of anonymity make
sure you don't add PayPal fees if you're doing that because
otherwise you'll you'll hit over the mark and then we might
mention you which you might not want and people who are on
sustaining donations all can be found at no agenda donations.com

Unknown: news. Good news. Good news. Good news. Good news. Good
Adam Curry: news, everybody. That means at the end of every
single no agenda show. It's time for John to bring us some good
news so we can feel good until the next no agenda show even
though you should feel pretty good knowing that you stand
above all of the mayhem. You stand above the controlled
opportunities. Yes, you are above the intellectual dark web.
You're not confused or concerned about where debate has to take
place. No, because you have good news in your knapsack what do we
have today, John?
John C Dvorak: Well, this is about a people finding dog named
midnight a black lab and a lost three year old
Unknown: it's different talk. This week guy deserves to be
happy especially after finding a missing three year old boy
Friday morning.
He was dragging me through the woods like he was just wasn't
gonna stop.
Well, now it's all fun and games when it comes to his job
midnight gets it done. DeLand police Corporal Damon Clark says
all he had to do was give him a sniff of the three year olds
blanket and then send him off.
I would say we were on the ground. Probably 45 minutes or
so. Which feels like hours and hours and hours. When you're
being drugged behind the dog through the woods Corporal
Clark says he was full of cuts and scrapes. But despite the
challenging terrain, midnight was successful,
he was in this little thicket of a bear very thick. The dog was
actually able to get to him much quicker than I was because I'm
getting caught up on binds and trees and shrubbery and stuff
like that a
three year old would often play in the woods, which is why Clark
says he likely wandered off but he got lost. Thankfully, the boy
had his tablet and stayed in one spot, making it easier to track
and doubt. When midnight found him he was very excited. By time
I got back there. He's looking a little boy space and he's all a
little bit a little boy and he's looking back at me like Hey, I
got
it. Here it is and of course midnight was rewarded with a
burger and one of his favorite toys burger. None of this would
have happened without the help of Clark. I'm
the dumb Enzo leashed. So he does all the work. My job is
just to read him read his body language, you know and
understand what he's telling me because obviously he can't talk
Clark
helped midnight retrace his steps whenever he lost track of
the boys sent. At one point the dog also had to get another snip
of the blanket to make sure he was on the right track. But to
work well together, Clark knows to be successful. He has to pay
attention to the dog's needs.
Adam Curry: Oh. Oh, was this a police dog? What
Unknown: kind of dog was this? It was a black lab.
Adam Curry: No that but
John C Dvorak: did some dogs can do this. It's amazing.
Adam Curry: But luckily the kid had his tablet. I'm not sure
what that had. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: That was weird. He's probably playing some game
waiting for the dog to
Unknown: find him today. Good news on na. What has me me given
John to play today.
Adam Curry: Good news, everybody. That's good news.
Good. Good. Good news. Do you feel good? Good because who
knows that we back on Thursday. Get those audition tapes in now.

atom bomb has been across all our lives. All men of goodwill
earnestly hope that a realistic control of atomic weapons can be
achieved. Meanwhile, good sense requires that all of us prepare
