Adam Curry: Air Traffic Control shut it down. Adam curry, John
C. Devora. July 2 2023 This Year Award Winning Combination media
assassination episode 1569. This is no agenda. Looney Tunes
broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country he and
FEMA Region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
wondering what the hell is Biden nomics? I'm Jhansi, Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Buzzkill. We know what that is. It's where they
raped the country and and funneled through Ukraine and get
rich. And we get nothing. Good. We get inflation. I think they
got some Biden no mix going on in France.
John C Dvorak: Well, before we get to that, oh,
Adam Curry: okay, because I've got a great, great background
with lots of sound effects.
John C Dvorak: Because I want to get to Fourth of July weekend.
Yes, we are working here Fourth of July weekend. And I also want
to do a couple of Fourth of July things first, okay. And just to
show that the you know, whatever money we make on this show,
doesn't compare to what they make, even on the lowly. third
hour of today's show. We're brokers there with his friends,
Dylan and Sherelle. And this guy named Chun. Yes. So this is a
two parter. This is the first this is the first part and
first.
Adam Curry: You're not gonna tell me they were actually live
today. Where are they? Now? This is on Friday. Okay. Oh, because
they're not working today? Of course, not Sunday. Yeah, we're
working tomorrow either.
John C Dvorak: Word I wouldn't think so. I don't think so.
Okay. Roker makes 10 million bucks, you know.
Adam Curry: Are you jealous? Yeah, he's also half dead.
John C Dvorak: Fourth of July, part one. And this is just a
little lead into what the what this clip is all about. But I
had to play it because there's a little gotcha in here. That's
kind of interesting.
Unknown: 2 million spectators expected in person to watch the
FileMaker. Same person across, you know, rooftops, the actual
promenade those places. But then lastly, I got a shout out to
Nathan's Hot Dog. 76 that is the record for the most amount eaten
in that contest. Can you imagine
it one time? It's one of the most disgusting you know,
tune in every year.
Every year he comes here and he's he sweats hot dog like
you'd like yeah.
Just eliminate chugging contest to Oh my god. Yeah.
You got some numbers about the history of Independence Day.
I do. Well, of course, it's important to remember exactly
what we're celebrating here. So 56 That is the number of
signatures on the Declaration of Independence. John Hancock took
up a lot of real estate. Maybe there could have been more, but
we also got 1931 here that is the national anthem. That was
the year that it became official. And this is
interesting. I didn't know this.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so the guy goes on like a maniac. Now, you
invite somebody over to your show, and you discuss the fact
that they stink.
Adam Curry: Well, it's a it's an ad, it's the Nathan's Hot Dog
annual ad, you know, so they
John C Dvorak: threw the ad in, but they bring this guy in as a
guest. Yeah. And I guess which makes some sense. He stinks to
high heaven exudes hot dog.
Adam Curry: He's the dog gobbler
John C Dvorak: is Zoot Suit. Who is pours,
Adam Curry: okay, it's gross. I can't wait for the next day.
Because for the
John C Dvorak: guy that's got nothing to do with that. So this
next part is the relative lack of education of the millennials
is exhibited in this next clip. Here we go.
Unknown: 13 taps on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, they do
that to represent each of the 13 colonies. They do this on July
4. It does. I don't know if it makes the crack bigger on the
bell. I hope it'll be fine. What's the big guy here is
actually August 2, the 1776. Not to do the full history lesson
here. But the reason why I put a second here is because that's
the date that the declaration was actually signed, but it was
approved officially on July 4, that's why we celebrate it on
the fourth so it's an excuse to have
two barbecues, also my birthday Oh,
celebrate August 3, they actually got three foxes of it.
So it was pretty
good. There we go. It's a joke. They didn't have faxes back
then. But I don't I wouldn't want I wouldn't want back so I
got you I appreciate you. Thank you
Adam Curry: Okay, all right. First of all, you're right. It's
an outrage. They're making so much money for that. I mean,
John C Dvorak: that you got that part. But so he's says a faxed
it. And the three Millennials they're
Adam Curry: not a single one figures out that August comes
after July.
John C Dvorak: No, not a single one figures out fax machines did
not exist in the 1700s. That was a joke. He say had to say it was
a joke. Because the
Adam Curry: women they don't know what a fax machine is.
John C Dvorak: They know what a fax machine is. But they didn't
know it. They they were bet befuddled, the black girls
looking back and forth, like what's going on here? The white
blonde is going to make into over her head move movement. And
the Chinese guy says, Oh, I was going along with it.
Adam Curry: And they say affirmative action is good. I
mean, sir. So yeah. Oh,
John C Dvorak: I didn't see any did not? Well, yeah, it was
beyond me that this is just like these people.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, let me just ask, let me ask you
something. Let me ask you something here. So the whole
problem I had with this segment is what I learned from the no
agenda newsletter is it was supposed to be July 2, not
August second.
John C Dvorak: They never said the August 2 was what they claim
was the last the last signature on the document. I did mention
in there that that the document was back dated. Wow. And the
August 2 back dated Yeah, proves that it was back dated. Well,
thanks July 2 was the official date at the beginning but they
changed it.
Adam Curry: Alright, so you know, of course, this was the
beginning of the Republic. And we took the Republic from the
French. See I'm gonna bring it around now. We modeled after the
French Republic and let's check in and see how they're doing.
Unknown: Tonight, France is a country on the edge as another
wave of violent protests erupts across the nation. Demonstrators
outrage following the death of 17 year old male who was shot by
a police officer during the traffic's. But over 900 people
were arrested on the third night of protests according to
France's interior ministry. As 10s of 1000s of riot police
descend on cities and towns throughout the country. The
French towns were set ablaze burned. Fireworks launched at
police. Some stores in central Paris polluted the construction
side of the 2024 Olympic pool also engulfed in flames Belle's
mother led a march in their hometown with scores of people
chanting justice for now, speaking out in an interview on
French TV, she said I don't blame the police. I blame one
person, the one who took my son's life that officer charged
with homicide, and he's currently in custody. The French
government attempting to regain control by suspending all public
transportation today in anticipation of more riots.
France's President Emmanuel Macron calling on parents to
help stop the chaos. And we're seeing a third of those arrested
last night where young people sometimes very young, it's the
parents responsibility to keep them at home. And I call blaming
social media for fueling the frenzy. But he's also facing
backlash online after attending an Elton John concert amid the
nationwide unrest. French officials desperate to quell the
violence but brace for another night of destruction as the
nation continues in turmoil.
Adam Curry: Social Media Video games they could have thrown in
Netflix. Netflix, literally had a movie a French movie. This you
hear about this? Called Athena? Which had this this exists
almost this exact same plot. And I think a lot of it is a plot.
It's so recognizable. You know justice for the kid. Police
brutality matter. Yeah, but there's also some state
department. funny business going on with this.
John C Dvorak: I want to make a correction. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: know. I know what I said it wrong that the wheat the
Republic came the French Republic came after the
Revolutionary War. Is that the correction?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the French Republic was 10 years later.
Yeah. And that was the short version didn't longer verse took
place place later, but I did appreciate your creativity.
Thank you. I was just trying to get him to segue. normally don't
do I was trying
Adam Curry: to get out of the hot dogs. I didn't know. I mean,
the hot dogs was weird. I was just I was trying to help us
here. You know, just trying to do something to do my bit for
humanity.
John C Dvorak: I'm just complaining about the fact that
the American public is being led by the nose by these overpaid
morning hosts Hey,
Adam Curry: get over it. Come on. Let's get back to Lou Wilk
ism. Which, you know, there was a there's like a this this
troublemaker in in France she's also writing for The Guardian
recoil diavolo and you know she's she's thrown a lot of woke
ism stuff out there Oh, it's all racism is structural racism.
Yeah. National racism it's like America's racism whatever we say
yeah well yeah she she was taught by the State Department
by our State Department. I think there's a little bit in here a
little bit of possibly let's get rid of Macron you know, he's not
on board with that or Shane Shane little bit of regime
change going on because you know, he was right up disease
but
John C Dvorak: now he is buddying up to Putin. Putin
spot.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Exactly. Now, of course, this was easy to
do. This tinderbox has been around in France since the 70s.
You know, the ban Leo, as they call it, when they had you know,
they got all the North African immigrants of course, they had a
right because it was French colonies. And they came in and
said, hey, yeah, we've got some we got some nice apartment
buildings for you.
John C Dvorak: And they put them outside and they loved the falls
and those other places.
Adam Curry: They put them in nail hole, nice apartment
buildings. And now we've got what third generation maybe
there's no jobs,
John C Dvorak: no jobs. That's a real issue. They won't get work.
Yeah, actually,
Adam Curry: there was a funny way that this was put on CBS.
Unknown: What's the sentiment towards the police right now in
France.
There is a lot of distrust, and the way the violence spreads
from the first night from the suburb of nontariff, which has a
high immigrant population, a high number of sort of social
housing projects. It spread to similar suburbs around the
country at places like Marseille where there's already a huge
gangland problem to Leon to Lilia where the immigrant
population that first arrived in the 50s and 60s, was put in new
suburbs, and they now have had children, some grandchildren who
grown up in the system, and don't understand why Muhammad
cannot get the job that Pierre is getting. And so there's huge
unemployment, particularly among young men in these areas. And
that's why a lot of them are around and unhappy and have
nothing else to do, frankly.
Adam Curry: So it looks like McCrone is I mean, he's
definitely blaming all of this on social media. And you know,
we need to shut that down and the video games is my favorite
of course. So when they buried this kid now this is where the
first social media ban started.
Unknown: The French Arab teenager Niall has been laid to
rest hundreds of people turned out for his funeral in a Paris
suburb of non tear where he was shot dead. Some rode scooters
alongside the hearse as it drove from a mosque to a nearby
cemetery. Many shouted justice for Niall. Our Paris
correspondent Lucy Williamson reports on the funeral.
Beside the discreet barricades outside the cemetery and non
tear, a small crowd waited for Niles funeral Cortes. There was
more tension than talking. All filming even on phones was
banned. No Snapchat, no Insta mourners were told the message
to journalists was starker get a camera out at your peril.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is this is a social problem, but not
social media. It's socialism. And this is going to happen all
across Europe. And it's like the Netherlands, man, it's going to
kick off in the Netherlands. This is the same thing is gonna
happen. You got a large Moroccan population. Really running
crime? A lot of it. It's not going to take much. It really
won't
John C Dvorak: get to PBS reported this just seems to
there's only 31 seconds so they're obviously not playing it
up.
Adam Curry: Why not? What's interesting was listen,
Unknown: French President Emmanuel Macron has canceled a
state visit to Germany after the fourth night of riots across
France. Protesters set fires turn vehicles over and looted
businesses. Police said they made more than 1300 arrests
overnight. The protests were sparked by the police killing on
Tuesday have a 17 year old boy of North African descent who has
been identified only as not hell to teen was buried today in the
Paris suburb of non Terre where he lived and where police shot
him during a traffic stop.
Adam Curry: Yeah, PBS hasn't gotten any messages yet. And I'm
just thinking about the the activist train by the State
Department and it kind of reminds me of something that uh,
One of our prominent state department members said, let me
see about nine years ago
I think that's still in play. They don't care. They're there.
They're pushing it. They're pushing it. They're pushing it.
They're pushing it. It's like, let me grab it. I'm waiting for
the limb is Rambler comparisons them is.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's just too intellectual.
Adam Curry: This is some of it. So what's going on? France, by
the way, just announced or McCrone announced that he was
building a new military hospital to prepare France for a possible
high intensity war. I don't know if it last thing when it's
something in the translation. But maybe maybe this is the high
intensity war he was talking about this. The UK is also
building mega hospitals, everyone's building mega
hospitals. Somehow I don't think it's for war outside of these
countries.
John C Dvorak: And, and again, it could be for a pandemic,
Adam Curry: could be for that or just locking a whole bunch of
people up. I mean, I don't know, prisons for that they're kicking
their kicking stuff off, man. Let's listen to the BBC again
about macrons popularity,
Unknown: President Macron has now postponed a state visit to
Germany that was due to begin on Sunday to deal with this crisis,
which comes after months of protests over his contested
pension reforms. David is an ER reporter in Paris told us more
about the challenges the French president faces.
Trying to quell the rage on the streets appears to be gobbling
up every bit of his attention. And he's relying on the police
but many of them are angry too. As they see it, he was too quick
to condemn the officer accused of the shooting that triggered
the chaos. I'm not sure they've all forgiven him for that yet,
even though he's toughened what he's saying about the rioters,
and now he's appealing to parents to keep teenagers at
home and stop them joining the riots. But this is hardly a good
look for a head of state. And it makes it easy for the far right
in the far left, who are now the main opposition to accuse him of
weakness of failing to come up with ideas. There's a sense that
he's casting around for solutions even that he's growing
desperate. And President Macron is also hampered by his
unpopularity after forcing through those hated pension
reforms without a parliamentary vote.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's out. But who's in is the question
John C Dvorak: though? Will there be some other loser like
whole Holanda? That guy? Oh,
Adam Curry: forgotten all about him. Whatever happened to our
Belgian friend remember that guy? Haiku. Herman he was fun.
Pearman fun room boy,
John C Dvorak: the Belgian there's never been a good report
or explanation for why the shooting took place.
Adam Curry: What the shooting of this kid? Yeah, well, yeah,
there is he there was a traffic. Well, you're right. There was
not is never a good report. There's only reports it was a
traffic stop. And he shot him. I know,
John C Dvorak: I know the basics. There was a traffic
stop. And then the kids started to drive off and just shot him
to the window. Yeah, this doesn't, you know, this is
Adam Curry: this video. I mean, you see the video of it. You
see,
John C Dvorak: you see a video from a distance is from the
other side of the car. The explanation we never heard from
the cop who needs
Adam Curry: an explanation.
John C Dvorak: Who is the point this whole thing is?
Adam Curry: Yeah, yes. And I think we're partially behind it.
US State Department. Yes, it's an OB also what is France done
for the Ukraine war? Nothing. That what have they sent over?
Let's
John C Dvorak: go back to freedom fries.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, man. Got all about that. Do we have
freedom to it? I guess we don't have a freedom fries.
John C Dvorak: Can I think that was before that was before the
show rock WAR ONE.
Adam Curry: So let's just stick with Europe. So now we have the
Netherlands that cranking everything up in the Netherlands
with institutional racism. Because as you know, the Dutch
were the ones who shipped the slaves. And they
John C Dvorak: also had Black Pete
Adam Curry: Well, no, the Black Pete was the entrance into this
whole conversation. Now they have a Zalem Zealand Zealand and
which is Zealand is kind of this like it's on the it's on the
coast. It's on it's down south much, not too far. But down
south ish. And it's where you can go on vacation. It's kind of
picturesque little, little villages. But oh, now now we
have a new narrative that they were they were the that was the
center of the racism. This is where they packed up the slaves,
270,000 of them, and then the slaves tried to get out and then
they locked them down. They closed everything off. And
270,000 slaves suffocated to death. The Dutch are bad and
they need money, money, money money needs to go to the slaves
because it's still hurting people today it's the exact same
black lives matter. The same thing as the institutional
racism in France. Britain is about to get it. And it's a
tinderbox right now the tinderbox is lit mainly because
of the farmers who are again out and they're getting desperate
now they're really really ready to fight they had another big
protest there's I believe there is a a version of martial law
has been declared or emergency measures which you know,
whenever whenever there's emergency measure, then you
know, they can basically kill you. It's the same here of
course. And by the way, how's that? Remember when that that
Dutch party they have the farmers they they won the
elections? They were going to save everybody? How's that
going? How's it going now? Because that was bull crap. So
now they're getting smart, the farmers and the people who
support the farmers, which is a large majority of the Dutch,
unless they block the roads and the ducks like hey, you know, I
support you, but you're blocking my way. They're doing little
videos. Here's a video compilation of some farmers,
some economists and there's one lone parliament member, you'll
pick him out and then immediately he's the guy saying
good tough shit.
Unknown: Our country is based on agriculture. Why would you go
Lycos? Why? Buy farm? Most
everyone has someone in their family who was once a
farmer. The manure is in the Netherlands, which is ammonia,
which is a form of nitrogen which bad for the environment,
bad for nature.
They have declared that nitrogen is the major problem. Well, I'm
an expert in nitrogen. And I dare to say it is not it's it's
a crapshoot. We are actually
discussing waving goodbye to our farmers 20 years
ago, you would not have dreamt that this would have happened.
We had a lot of problems with nitrogen rules. Because our farm
is near to and in nature to 1000s
of hardworking people for paying taxes, they've worked the alarm
for sometimes 1015 generations.
I think the political system like we have it in the
Netherlands now is totally broken, they are really
suffering.
Six farms have actually hung themselves. Because of this new
policy.
Farmers have to reduce the use of nitrogen,
or government, they say we need to reduce 95% of nitrogen. In
this nature 2000 area.
Our intention is to explain why this is so important for them
and for the nature of what not to change the goals of the
policy. That's not the case, it's not going to happen.
They have created a huge problem for themselves. And farmers are
now really angry.
We're wasting billions and billions on the nightmare. The
government has to do what the government has to do sometimes,
which is painful. But there is also 25 billion euro for a small
country. It's the Netherlands, to help farmers to get a better
life to help nature to restart
the fix they use. Are not connecting together.
We have a food shortage of water shortage and energy shortage.
It's catastrophe upon catastrophe. And farmers are
targeted and via the farmers target because they they need to
build houses they need to build factories to build highways,
they believe in hiding.
Adam Curry: So here's the statistic that kind of blew me
away 1 million Dutch and there's only what 70 million in the
country. And the Dutch is if not close to I think the number one
exporter of food products in the world from agriculture. 1
million Dutch people have to rely on food bank. They cannot
afford food and assume there's not going to be food because the
eighth nitrogen directive or as they call it, the nitrate
directive says these millions of hectares cannot be used for
farming. The only thing that can be grown there is flax. And the
flax will be used to build the homes that will be on the in
that same area. Did you know that flax is used to for
building materials? No. Yeah, this is this. I think it was a
thing a long time ago, but it's back. You can I think instead of
drywall.
John C Dvorak: You had to look into it. Yeah, no.
Adam Curry: Yeah. No. The research. Yeah, the resurgence
of flax. This is from 2023 as a building material it's inverse I
are mentally friendly and I'll bet it does well in the rain.
John C Dvorak: But was it for thatched roofs? Is it the stuff
on the roof?
Adam Curry: Well, flax makes linen and linen. Yeah, lots of
lots of other things, but apparently soft wood. It creates
a soft wood. So it's like a compressed board.
John C Dvorak: Probably yeah, probably particle board.
Adam Curry: This is gonna be great. So, you know, the Dutch,
the especially the farmer, they're mad, they are so mad.
It's just being scammed. They are being well, the whole
country is being scammed. And I have a Dutch ism for you that,
by the
John C Dvorak: way, before you do the Dutch ism. This is a
classic example. You know, people I did capitalism is
terrible. This is an example of what happens when you interfere
with the market. When you interfere with Natural
Capitalism. You end up with these situations that are
horrible. It's all socialism now, or as
Adam Curry: long as Dutch, the Netherlands complete socialist
country or as the Dutch would say dark Zachman book fun off.
Makes my pants fall down. I have no idea where
John C Dvorak: to get enough food.
Adam Curry: Exactly. So to complement this, this issue, I
came across an interview with Dr. Patrick Moore, one of the co
founders of Greenpeace, you'll remember well, you'll remember I
don't know if anyone else remembers, I think it was must
have been nine or 10 years ago when he left Greenpeace and did
this whole video anti Greenpeace. He was proud that he
left. Yeah, and he's pro nuclear. And I think there was
he he CO produced a CNN documentary documentary. I can
recall seeing it in going to the Alamo Drafthouse to see it.
There was like one other person there. And, you know, show that
nuclear was the way to go. And so he's been completely thrown
out by the greenies. But he was the co founder of Greenpeace.
And he did an interview with what's the guy's name? Patrick
bet, David, I think you know that, you know, the podcast or p
p BD. And he explains exactly what this nitrogen bullcrap is
about and why it's being done.
Unknown: I can tell you one thing that explains why there
went from 4 billion to 8 billion, for example, why it's
called the haber bosch process, it won two Nobel Prizes in the
early 1900s. It was a formula, a technological process, involving
very high heat and very high pressure and extremely
complicated process, which was able to combine nitrogen from
the atmosphere with natural gas to make ammonia. That ammonia is
the basis of all the nitrogen fertilizer being used in the
world's Agriculture. Today, it results in at least a doubling
of crop production. And that is why we see this news today about
Sri Lanka, banning nitrogen fertilizer, and Netherlands now,
basically banning much of the nitrogen fertilizer. And this is
the biggest threat we have right now to an immediate starvation
situation in the world. food shortage, you hear it said this,
we're going the odd time. But the reason it's it's self
inflicted, this food shortage. Nitrogen, the air has 70% of the
air is nitrogen, we could take nitrogen out of the air for the
next million years and make fertilizer because it all goes
back into the air again, eventually. Same with the carbon
dioxide.
Adam Curry: If we doubled two more times, we got 32 billion
people here. We can't have 32 billion people in
Unknown: the world. In other words, we won't double it to 32.
If we can't have it, we won't go there. Why we can't get
it. Let's let's speculate. Tell me what you mean by that.
What I mean is today, people are getting wealthier. The number of
people living in poverty as a percentage of the population is
much smaller now than it was 20 3050 years ago, when we reach
a position where more and more people are going into poverty
and starving to death, we will know we're coming close to that
limit. How else are you going to find out unless you artificially
reduce the population by cutting off the fossil fuels. And by
cutting off the nitrogen fertilizer? That's what the real
problem is today is me saying this is a self inflicted wound
that we are dealing with right now. And it's it's a real
problem, because I can see this that these powerful elites like
Schwab and on down, they want control of the world. They want
control of everybody. Now, what do they want? They want fewer
people. They think, already too many. I think that's what
they've been saying in the United Nations for a long time.
But the facts don't bear that out. Because less and less
people are living in poverty. And our knowledge of agriculture
is growing. Our knowledge of genetics is growing, and we're
able to grow way more food now than we were then. And food is
the basis of how many people can be here.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I like that theory. I'm just gonna go
they're gonna starve us to death. They've tried everything
else.
John C Dvorak: Some as well, you know, the entire world's
population can be shoved into Texas. Oh, yeah. But But, of
course, there's lots of room is the point.
Adam Curry: Hey, but you know what? Let's shove them into
California. All right. Bigger. Yeah, Dad, we don't need that.
But yeah, but the point is there. The point is, there's an
if as long as there's enough food, it won't be a problem. But
they are literally taking away the food by removing nitrogen.
And by removing, and boy, didn't we see some of those issues
during the pandemic? We haven't forgotten? So it seems to me
that they're just trying to slowly kill everybody. Isn't
that what The Population Bomb people have been about since the
70s?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. Well, they haven't been wanting to
kill people per se. They want that population to stop growing,
right.
Adam Curry: But now it's just like, No, that's not worked.
We've tried reason with the slaves. And now, the frog France
Timmermans, our boy there, my boy who never answers my phone
calls anymore who's in charge of the European, the EU Green Deal.
He says, you know, we should have international talks on the
dangers and governance of geoengineering.
John C Dvorak: But before you go to that topic, has there been a
good explanation for this nitrogen thing? I mean, what the
Greenpeace guy said is correct, you can get as much of this
nitrogen out of the atmosphere as you want, use the process
which is famous. And then when it goes into this fertilizer it
comes in and some going back into the air is nitrogen. No, of
course not. So what is the what is that? What is the rationale
for stopping nitrogen fertilizers in most Sri Lanka
and which is caused trouble there. And Holland, my original
thinking was, well, it's just an excuse to get the Doescher
turned into a giant a bedroom community. But now that you
bring these other factors up, there's they have to have some
rationale. What is it?
Adam Curry: Well, obviously, climate change cow farts, but
ultimately death.
John C Dvorak: What is the reason that they're using to say
you can't use nitrogen? What are they telling them?
Adam Curry: What do you mean? What are they telling them?
They're telling the telling them that you're
John C Dvorak: a farmer. And I say to you, Hey, you can't use
any more nitrogen fertilizer. Oh, because you would say to me,
why?
Adam Curry: Because the process of creating nitrogen is bad for
the environment. Nitrogen is bad for the environment. Cows that
graze on the bad for the this is what they're saying.
John C Dvorak: They say that nitrogen is like they like he
said, 70% plus of the air we breathe. John has nitrogen.
We're going bad for the environment. Everybody.
Adam Curry: I'm getting a plane ticket for John. He's going to
The Hague. He's going to tell everybody what's up with
nitrogen. I know. I'm asking what's up. I'm telling you what
they're saying. This is what they're saying, oh, nitrogen is
a crisis. We have a nitrogen crisis. That's literally what
they're saying. And people go, Oh, you're a crisis. Yeah.
Where's the crisis? Well, we have too much nitrogen sounds
like carbon. Actually, we have too much oxygen.
Unknown: Carbon dioxide.
Adam Curry: The people are stupid. People don't go to
school anymore, or they don't teach stuff. This is this is a
psyop. Of course it is cow farts. Yeah, don't worry. We got
some chicken in a in a vat. We're brewing some chicken for
you.
John C Dvorak: It's over chicken in the vet clip by the way.
Adam Curry: Let's play it now that it fits in perfectly.
John C Dvorak: We're just so here's the chicken because you
know my thesis on this. And here's a guy kind of confirming
it. He's as a tick tock clip.
Adam Curry: Oh, hold on a second. I'll stop. I'll stop.
John C Dvorak: A lesson in biology and it's a clip is
called lab grown meat.
Unknown: So I'm going to tell you what I just found out about
lab grown meat and I can assure you you are going to be
discussed at the source of this meat. They need fast growing
cells, replicating cells just like when you have a farm that
makes a tree you don't want to plant a new tree every week. You
want a tree that gives you a lot of fruit and this is what
they're trying to do with me. And so what do they find? Well,
there's something called an immortalized cell also known as
a healer, cell healer, after Henrietta Lacks who sometime in
the 1950s had cervical cancer and then I removed her cancer
cells, put them in a petri dish to see how long would they
continue replicating and they're still replicating today. So if
you've already started to read in between the lines, you may
guess where I'm going with this that they realize the best
source for fast replicating cells to make lab grown meat
that you're going to eat or cancer and pre cancer. So that
means taking cancerous and precancerous cells literally
putting them as the base and having those replicate to
continue as fast as possible pace produced the meat that
you're going to eat.
Adam Curry: I learned about healer cells from Mo, Henrietta
lac was a black woman, and her ancestors have been in, in
legal, you know, legal battles for years, because they
basically just took herself and have sold it all over the world
millions of times over. And it shouldn't give her a royalty.
Yes, they should. Yes, they should I agree with lab. Lab
meat is racist.
John C Dvorak: But the point of this clip is that it's a tumor.
Adam Curry: Yes. I think I just had an idea. I had a marketing
idea. He loved burgers, now you're talking about burgers,
and we could cut in, we could cut in the her ancestors. And
John C Dvorak: that's a marketing idea. Let's sell tumor
burgers. And that's going to make his Bowser Rich. Hey,
Adam Curry: nothing else seems to work. Telling the truth is
not a great business model. Anyway, back to my buddy,
France, France Timmermans. He's calling for global talks on the
on the geoengineering. And he's pretending Oh, you know, there's
risks. Yeah, but we need governance, governance. This is
literally what what I've been talking about since the
beginning of the show, is spraying crap in the air also
known as those and now they're just coming out and saying,
Yeah, we need to, we need to govern that, you know, because I
mean, I want to bring that under our control here is like Bill
Gates, who's who's doing most of it. Now he owns a, a geo
engineering company.
John C Dvorak: Bill Gates is one of the maniacs who thinks that
by spraying a bunch of crap into the upper atmosphere to cut down
two sons to kill the sun. That is just like from a Simpsons
episode where burns does it? Yeah. And
Adam Curry: Simpsons predicted once again. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So it probably does need some governance. Are
you gonna have these maniacs like gates? Starting to do stuff
on their own? They're going to start freelancing, and I am I'm
actually kind of, I would agree with him a little bit on this.
Adam Curry: We, of course, but he's talking about the
governance. You're not talking about stopping it. No, no, we
have to control it. It shouldn't be done at all. It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I agree. That should not be done at all.
Adam Curry: Meanwhile, NPR has the climate change. By the way,
people
John C Dvorak: should just go see the movie was a Snowpiercer.
Adam Curry: I couldn't get through it. I didn't like snow
Pierce.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you didn't get to the part where they where
they had the food bank where they're making food.
Adam Curry: No, I tuned out way earlier than that. I tuned out
way earlier than that. Horowitz loved it. I didn't like it that
much. You can get it. You can see it on YouTube. I think it's
on YouTube, I don't think even need to resort to to a streaming
company has been around so long. The NPR has the climate change
clip of the week. And because it's so hot. We're under the
heat dome. Sorry. I've gotta say it is a hot outside. It's hot
outside. Hello. I'm working for
Unknown: NPR. Try riding your bike in a suit.
Adam Curry: You wear a suit to
John C Dvorak: your and try riding your bike in a suit like
I do. Does.
Adam Curry: Does he wear a suit to the radio studio? What kind
of people are these?
John C Dvorak: I always wear a suit to the station and I ride a
bike.
Unknown: It is hot outside.
Try riding your bike in a suit. And we don't even know the worst
of it just south of here in Washington DC. Places in the US
are under heat advisories as temperatures break 100 degrees.
And people are facing dangerous extreme heat.
Yeah, I mean, we have some good tips on the show yesterday for
staying safe and comfortable in heat. Like
Adam Curry: Oh, John, are you staying safe and comfortable,
safe and comfortable baby stay safe, safe and comfortable?
Unknown: Some of which may feel kind of obvious like staying as
cool as possible by hydrating and trying not to run around too
much.
Adam Curry: There's always hydrating the MPR word for
drinking water. I just want to make sure because I'm a little
confused. very pretentious word hydrating
Unknown: up. Yes, like staying as cool as possible by hydrating
and trying not to run around too much. Yeah,
but there's one thing we didn't mention which is splitting,
splitting. That is a
very silly word for a pretty Have you
Adam Curry: not heard of splitting? fluting splitting SPL
o t i n g splitting
John C Dvorak: I doubt I would do that in the privacy of my own
home
Unknown: splitting,
splitting. That is a very silly word for a pretty cool strategy.
Something animals do more than humans walk around on a hot day
and you actually might see a squirrel splitting.
I think it's called bleeding because that is kind of what it
looks like. It's like if a squirrel just like splattered
down on the pavement, all of its limbs are splayed. So it's kind
of like spreadeagled on the ground.
That's animal physiologist Andrea Rummel, when humans are
hot, sweating cools us down. But she says animals that can't
sweat have to resort to other behaviors to cool off
the squirrels are trying to regulate their body temperatures
by spreading out on a cool surface. Think of it like
finding the cool part of the pillow when you're trying to
fall
asleep. And it's not just squirrels that split dogs
raccoons bears all kinds of animals will do it if they are
overheating.
Adam Curry: polluting, I think they're just making it up.
polluting. This was a five minute segment on NPR.
John C Dvorak: You know, they mentioned that people don't do
again, we do sweat. That's the advantage. We don't have to do
that. Whatever that is the animals are doing.
Adam Curry: Well, not everybody sweats.
John C Dvorak: Last year, there's a myth number number of
lizard people we know. Hillary, Hillary doesn't sweat rock Obama
bright doesn't sweat, right? Because somebody else?
Unknown: I don't know.
Adam Curry: Probably? I don't know. I don't know. Those are
the only two famous ones I should have a list of yes, a
list of non sweaters. And I'm just staying with climate change
for one more second. The most emailed article this week, or in
the past few days, which I just want to address for a moment.
And people know that I'm a pilot. So they sent me the
headline, world's first fully electric flying car approved by
FAA and accepting pre orders. I mean, this is the what a great
PR job is. So, so well done. This now. We you and I could
have advised these guys. They'd have nothing. They have a
plastic model, which looks kind of cool. But it doesn't even
drive, let alone fly. And they've taken it they filled out
a form, sent it to the FAA and said, Hey, we want to do some,
some test flights at this, of this facility with, you know,
basically an oversized drone. And the FAA says Surely, okay,
go ahead. You can stay within these boundaries, you're good to
go. Now they've turned that into a PR campaign, saying they have
FAA certification is no certification about it special
airworthiness certification. absolutely not true. There's no
air worthiness special airworthiness certification at
all that I'm aware of. And they don't have specs, they don't
have a car that flies. But you can invest now with your pre
order of $1,500, or you can become an investor. This is the
biggest, biggest bunch of bull crap I've seen from this sector
in a while. And there's a lot of these things, a lot of flying
cars, than if you really that's why I'm always looking for
specs. What's the spec? Well, it'll do 60 miles an hour. For
11 minutes. There's not a single flying vehicle to date that has
been announced or is flying on batteries. Mind you on
batteries. That will actually get me from here to Austin. I
wouldn't mind charging in Austin and then flying back but none of
that is true. Even the you know, the battery powered plane.
They're saying, Yeah, we're canceling that project because
it just we just can't do it. The batteries overheat. The
batteries are too heavy, though of course they're too heavy the
power to weight ratio is insanely stupid.
John C Dvorak: But it's same thing with the large semi
trucks, the big trucks and it turns out that the batteries are
too heavy.
Adam Curry: It's like 8000 pounds and then a batteries
John C Dvorak: charged down the street and a charge
Adam Curry: your fleet of 50 trucks would take the energy of
Austin. It's the whole thing is is a hoax by Elon
Unknown: Elon. Yeah.
Adam Curry: But I just love that and I and people don't know
they're sending me like, Hey, you should get in on this. Okay,
thanks. Yeah, you should order one. Yeah, I would order. So the
fully electric vehicle with a hydrogen option for a higher
price. It's a low speed vehicle to be driven up to 200 miles on
public roads and fix it In a regular garage, but it can also
launch vertically into the air with the flying range of 110
Miles according to their website. But this and then they
you know, they got all these cool videos render good, you
know they put some money into the renderings but no, it's not
going to happen. It's like my buddy Michel in in the UK when
Uber announced the Uber air taxi, where's that? That
happened several years ago. He's the I'm I put in for a license
from my club. I said dude is not gonna have not just not gonna
happen. This is a hoax. This is no way. The power to weight
ratio is off. It's not going to happen. Anyway. Transitioning to
the collapse of the United States, which, according to
Colonel McGregor is nearby. Do you like McGregor? We've talked?
John C Dvorak: We've talked about it. No, I don't because he
would wouldn't take my call. The podcast. He does all these low
end podcast. Yeah, he's really he's a dick.
Adam Curry: He's not the friend of a podcast. He's the foe of
the podcast, a foe of the pod. Well, if
John C Dvorak: this podcast Oh, yeah, you know, guess where he
wound up? Some other podcast?
Adam Curry: Patrick bet, David. The guy we just heard from with
the
John C Dvorak: who I find this podcast annoying.
Unknown: I don't think we'll ever get to the 2024 election. I
think things are going hollowed Washington before then. I think
our economic financial condition is fragile. I think we're going
to end up in a situation where we find out the banks are closed
for two or three weeks. And nobody can get into them. You
think so I think we're going to run into something like that.
Yeah. I also know, levels of violence and criminality in our
cities is so high, that it's going to spill over into other
places in society, people that normally think they can live
remote from the problem are now beginning to be touched by the
problem, then I look at this thing in Ukraine, I think
Ukraine is going to lose catastrophically it's going to
be a complete collapse. And that too, is going to have an effect
here at home because people are going to say, Well, wait a
minute, everybody told us Ukraine was winning. Everybody
told us X, Y and Z i mean it's sort of the Russian hoax on
steroids. All of those things are going to come together or
converge in some way that's going to prevent us from
reaching you know the status quo Oh, another election Oh, another
set of campaigns and so forth.
Adam Curry: This is getting some play.
Unknown: Oh, man Yeah,
John C Dvorak: you know you could be if you want to do that
you could do that I could do it anyone could go do this you be
running out of material you got no books to sell. He had one
famous book that he saw in the military strategy and you got to
get out there you got to find some way you need some maybe
I'll get a gig on Fox or maybe you get this sort of thing like
Tammy Bruce by the way I think he's going to be the next Fox
regular
Adam Curry: really they just gave it to they gave the eight
o'clock slot to
John C Dvorak: what what's the boys they just moved people
around so far? They gave it to Jesse waters. Yeah, I know they
gave it to Jesse waters he's not going to be able to handle
handling So either I don't think so. It's not that good. He's
okay on to five sometimes and he's he's got that stupid look
on his face. It's not like he's kidding you all the time. So
maybe no, she's going to be brought in because she took over
Hannity show. And she's better than Hannity. She asked smart
questions. She's sharp she's just good she has She's an old
broadcaster from Bill old broad caster. Yeah. From from the get
go radio type. But looks good on TV. So I think that they're
gonna have to bring her on because and waters I don't think
he can pull it off.
Adam Curry: You know, I was on the Brian Kilmeade radio show on
Friday. I've been on it before and I think you know, you show
up on on back and stuff like that. Oh, the booker goes.
Curry. We need someone for Friday called curry. Okay. You
know, and Frank is a nice guy. And the fox Radio Network has a
lot of people listening, so I'm just I'm just gonna promote as
much as I can. I'm just promoting no agenda.
John C Dvorak: He actually did it. Yeah. Pretty amazed at what
you do on a radio show posted. Yeah, he
Adam Curry: did a pretty good job. But he started off with
like, so what do you think of what MTV has become? Like,
really?
John C Dvorak: There you go. Yeah. But,
Adam Curry: but but then he then he brought up the whole Biden
ball gag strap. And, and you played some clip of of Biden
mumbling and I decided I would pull a Dvorak on him. And I
said, Well, you know, we have a theory over to no agenda show
hoping people will catch on and like and come over and listen to
us that he's really like the chin. Vincent gigante and kill
me with a little word If your theory really screws with
mainstream media's heads, it's like not at all what they
expected
John C Dvorak: doesn't fit into the narrative.
Adam Curry: And you know who's been listening to your to your
theory? Ben Shapiro.
Unknown: But if you're Joe Biden, then you get away with
it. And one of the reasons you get away with it is because
right now, not only are you the President of the United States,
but you're you're a babbling fool. And his you're a babbling
fool. You're threatening, one of the great so this for a while,
one of the great assets that Joe Biden has is that he appears to
be in a state of cognitive decline, in the same way that
you watch a mafia movie, and you will see somebody in a mafia
movie who is under investigation pretend to be crazy, or pretend
to be in a state of cognitive decline that prosecutors like it
couldn't have done it. That guy's walking around a bathrobe.
That is basically Joe Biden at this point, I don't think is
pretending but I certainly think that his hit the decline in his
cognitive faculties make him a more sympathetic figure than he
otherwise would be Joe Biden of 2008 was not in any way
sympathetic. Now, he seemed sympathetic, mainly because
you're afraid that he's going to literally keel over and die at
any moment.
Adam Curry: I think he's kind of kind of listening to you from
material.
John C Dvorak: Well, he could have at least had some details
about the fact that it was Vincent Giga Dante.
Adam Curry: Oh, but listen, we're the we're the OG no agenda
show we do a segment on on Rachel Levine. Boom. Talk her
does eight minutes on Rachel Levine.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. I know your thesis is and I'm not
going to argue against it completely. But since you
brought this topic up, let's hear what Mayor Pete on Biden
has to say is a two parter and the second parts of the kicker.
So this is part one Mayor Pete
Unknown: Warren. The President faced a wave of criticism on
Wednesday after saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin
was clearly losing the war in Iraq. Biden also said Iraq
instead of Ukraine at a fundraiser on Tuesday night and
didn't correct himself, Buda judge was asked about voter
doubts on Biden's mental competency as the oldest
president in history.
John C Dvorak: Okay, okay, so we're brought in so we're gonna
go to Mayor Pete, who's going to backup the thesis part two,
Unknown: what I say is, I wish you could be in a room with him
the way I often am, in the dark room, how he is simultaneously
focused on a big picture vision and very focused on details.
Buda
judge cited rail infrastructure meetings he's had with Biden,
where he says the president hones in on questions. So
specific, it becomes necessary to pull in experts from Amtrak
to satisfy his desire for detailed information that a
judge says it's not age that matters, but your ability to get
the job done. This is an administration that has been
extraordinarily effective.
Adam Curry: Well, now oh,
John C Dvorak: by the way, that's funny in normal
circumstance that leads to other clips are proving
extraordinarily effective doesn't really exist. But
anyway, safe
Adam Curry: and effective. Well, both can be true at the same
time. Biden can be very good behind the scenes very detailed
and obvious cognitive decline when he's out. Out and About.
And President Trump who's out and about, he has his own
theory.
Unknown: Do you know? And I know, Joe doesn't know he's
alive. This Biden doesn't know he's alive. Biden doesn't know.
I mean, he doesn't know he's alive. Now. I have to tell you,
he's a different guy. He looks different than he used to. He
acts different than he used to. He's even slower than he used to
be. So I don't know but I call him one present Joe. Joe Biden
is a dummy it's not him
Adam Curry: this is going around the the ladies Yeah, I love
John C Dvorak: that clip. Yeah, the lady Joe Biden is a dummy.
Adam Curry: Well, but not just a dummy. But you know, these are
different Joe Biden, you know, it's either the mask or with the
mask.
John C Dvorak: i This also falls into place with our normal
thinking that there's probably three of these guys. And I count
three. They have different teeth, they have different eye
colors, the whole thing don't even necessarily look the same.
Adam Curry: The ladies out here have a, you know, have their own
text group. This is where I get a lot of the good stuff from
now, like, exactly this. Joe Biden has three of them. They
got masks, so fake. I love that. They're my favorites. And
they're there also, a lot of them are members of the moms for
liberty, which is now getting, getting some deep Play. Play.
Yeah. Here's the NBC
Unknown: Tonight in Philadelphia, the latest battle
in the culture war culture,
white mystery and erase anything else with the right people.
The second annual convention for moms for liberty is drawing top
Republican presidential candidates. Tina Deskovic and
Tiffany justice started the group in 2021 in Florida as a
way to find COVID restrictions. But since then moms for Liberty
says it's expanded to 285 chapters across 44 states with
more than 120,000 members. Among other things. The organization
now battles what it calls the indoctrination of children on
topics such as race, gender, and sexuality. It's advocated
removing what it deems inappropriate books from school
libraries. Also, the Southern Poverty Law Center has now
labeled moms for liberty and anti government extremist
students, they harm communities. They spread ideas that are about
conspiracy based about a tradable government that are
untrue. How
do you respond to that?
We reject that look at our record from last year we 500
School Board races 275 of those races. That is exactly what
you're supposed to do in our political process.
The group is built as a grassroots movement, but critics
are questioning where the money that's funded its explosive
growth is coming from the nonprofit is not required to
disclose its donors.
Adam Curry: This is so evil what they're doing. A lot of these
women are friends. They are truly moms. A lot of them
actually have no children, which is interesting. Or that there's
a there's a a percentage, but they are involved in local
politics is really I really like what they're doing. Be able to
in fact, I got a I got a message just the other day, Monday. The
fifth was the fifth. The fifth is Tuesday was the fifth.
Tuesday. Fifth of July.
John C Dvorak: Domestic Terrorists
Adam Curry: now we got to go to city council because they're
they're doing stuff that they want to start a public housing
authority in Fredericksburg,
John C Dvorak: which is where many people are in
Fredericksburg. 15,000 Oh, this was bigger than I thought I was
like five. Yeah, but there's
Adam Curry: 800 apartments about to come online 800 in the
commercial sector. You know, what do we really need lower
cost housing for is for people to work in the shops and the
restaurants in Fredericksburg. But no no, no, we
John C Dvorak: do. Oh, we
Adam Curry: have public housing authority. Well, we know how
that goes. Yeah. And so they're riling everybody up. I like that
but now boy AC Oh was at Southern Poverty Law Center all
domestic terrorist group. That's ridiculous.
John C Dvorak: And it's Southern Poverty Law Center has become
domestic terrorists.
Adam Curry: I agree. It's really unbelievable. Now it's actually
it's totally believable. But the most of these women are just
there. They're sweethearts they're really trying to do
something I appreciate I think we have a lot of moms for
Liberty listening I have a lot of them came in during COVID
gets they were just working to get some information should this
two old dudes talking about let me check them out? Might as well
got everything else
John C Dvorak: about COVID
Unknown: Yes
yes t
John C Dvorak: I can do it too. Yeah
Adam Curry: pretty good. We're just segwaying all over the
place today
John C Dvorak: they're decided it seems to me to go back on the
bat propaganda Oh no. To bring to dissuade anyone from thinking
that anything any of these diseases coming down to Piper
manufactured by you know Fort Meade or anyplace else for
Dietrich I'm sorry. For it means where the where the
Adam Curry: spaceships are four meters right it's Ford means
where the water
John C Dvorak: ships at Fort Meade, no flying saucers. It is
in Detroit. Are they making that box?
Adam Curry: Fort Meade was the poison water I think they did.
The poison bath
John C Dvorak: forget. The various forts are all mentioned
in The Day After Roswell book by Philip Corso, which seems to
have been shoved aside by everybody but onward with the
COVID. So this isn't a bat propaganda. Yes, it's COVID Bat
propaganda
Unknown: to search for the exact origin of COVID-19 has
highlighted the risk of viruses transmitted by certain species
of bats. In the wild. They can withstand viruses that kill
other animals, and the viruses can incubate in bats and spread
to other animals in humans. As Ali Rogen explains today, humans
and bats are interacting more than ever. global
industrialization
continues to reduce the amount of the world untouched by
humans. That means species like bats are no longer as insulated
from human interaction as they once were. In recent decades,
bats have been traced as the source of outbreaks of rabies,
Marburg virus, Nipah, virus and Ebola. To discuss why this is
happening, I'm joined by Neil Vora. He's a physician with
Conservation International, a nonprofit environmentalist
group. And he works on pandemic prevention. Neil, thank you so
much for joining us. Tell me about what you and your
colleagues have found out about human and bat interaction in
recent years in recent decades.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, what news outlet is this from again?
John C Dvorak: PBS man,
Adam Curry: it's almost as good as NPR spooning squirrel.
Unknown: It starts off with understanding about emerging
infectious diseases. We know that infectious diseases are
increasingly emerging around the world since at least the 1940s.
And most of these new infectious diseases originate in animals,
then jump into people that's called spillover and spill overs
are increasing around the world. Because of what we humans are
doing to nature and how we're interacting with animals around
the world. Bats are getting stressed as we are disrupting
their habitats and affecting their food supply. We have been
stressing out bats in a variety of different ways. And that
makes them more prone to illness, and makes them more
likely to shed viruses that can then go on to infect people just
like when we're stressed, we're more likely to get sick. The
same goes for bats.
Adam Curry: This is okay. This is very interesting that they're
they're dredging this old cow out of the canal. What are they
trying? Why now? What is what is
John C Dvorak: I've been trying to figure that out as I as we go
through these steps, you will figure it out. And this goes on
a lot longer than the clips I have. Sure. And it's and they're
really pushing the bat narrative. And they're also
saying they also push don't do it don't be mean to bats.
Because you know, bats are good to eat insects and bugs. We got
bats we had some bats are important that Texas is loaded
with bats. Bats, yes. Yeah. And you had the bat caves where they
come out at night and
Adam Curry: we got this bag. Austin has the bat bridge where
every year in
John C Dvorak: San Antonio is got some bad thing going on.
Adam Curry: in Johnson City. But Johnson National Park is Batcave
very famous. Got bats flying overhead at night here.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're pooping all over the place. I
mean, that's sick. Okay. He's a cell bat guano is a fabulous a
nutrient for plants and bad one. Oh, he's been sold in bags.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: I think there's laws now here. You can't collect the
bat guano? I think.
John C Dvorak: I don't know why guys go part to this propaganda.
Now I want to listen carefully this and there's an eel logic
here that I have to discuss.
Unknown: And why are bats so unique in their ability to carry
viruses that can affect humans, there's a
variety of reasons for this one might have to do with different
immune systems that bats have compared to humans, which allows
them to tolerate some viruses differently than humans can.
Furthermore, bats are able to fly over large distances. And so
that allows them to carry viruses from one area to another
similar to how humans for infected with a virus and we
jump in a plane, we can carry that virus to other parts of the
world. So these are some of the factors that might explain why
bats are able to transmit a number of viruses to humans, but
not be affected by them the same way we are. Okay,
John C Dvorak: so bats aren't affected by viruses the same way
we are, because they can fly a long distance. I want to this is
exactly what he said. He had two reasons. One, he says, Well,
maybe their immune systems a little different, so they can
tolerate more infections, and they just carry these viruses
around. And then they can the question remember was why bats?
How can they do this? How can they hold these viruses in and
then transfer them to humans, and they can travel a long
distance that that's got nothing to do with whether or not they
can be infected, it's just
Adam Curry: well, and to complete the bat theory, it was
sold at a wet market where some schmuck was eating the bat and
some talk about the logic some schmuck bought a wet market bat
and ate it and then got it maybe this is to set us up for for
more you know, another pandemic which could be domestic bats.
John C Dvorak: Hey has to be something like that because and
by the way, going back to that story, it oh eight we always
have to remember that that wet market did not sell bats. That
was researched and proven.
Adam Curry: Well, that's not that you're ruining the story. I
am
John C Dvorak: ruining the story but this Hmong other book and
here we go with part three. And here we go again. Let's bring
back to pangolin is wildlife trade,
Unknown: both legal and illegal needs to be regulated and
monitored more closely. We've had a number of outbreaks
associated with wildlife, such as M pox back in 2003. Also, the
original SARS outbreak back in 2003, was also associated with
wildlife trade, and very likely the COVID pandemic was also
related to the wildlife trade.
Adam Curry: Wow. Oh yeah, that's where SARS came from. Sure. Not
another bat.
John C Dvorak: SARS he claims out of the blue I didn't know
this that SARS called One was from bats. Now, we know this
isn't true, not true. In fact, they go on and the woman I
didn't play clip anymore this because it goes on forever. And
she brings in the well, the lab theory, and he says there's no
proof of the lab theory. It's just a theory. And it goes on
and on about how the lab theory is probably not true, because
it's these damned animals that go back and forth and back and
forth with the viruses and really stuck with this
Adam Curry: muscle. Okay, this can all it isn't up. I mean, ya
know, maybe it's just to bring more discredit info towards RFK.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that could be you could
Adam Curry: use it for that like, Well, yeah. But have you
not been listening to PBS or national treasure? This is came
from a Batman not from a lab. Maybe that's it?
John C Dvorak: That could be that's actually I didn't
consider the RFK angle. I didn't know that he was that dangerous.
He would do that. I think he is dangerous to them. But he might
be he might be dangerous. I only have two I have two other COVID
clips that are kind of his fraud money in TD New Tang Dynasty.
Unknown: This is in di D. You may recall hearing about fraud
and COVID relief programs for businesses. A federal watchdog
is putting a number on how much money was handed out to
fraudulent claims a total of more than $200 billion. That's
17% of the $1.2 trillion. The Small Business Administration
distributed it amounts to about 4.5 million fraudulent claims.
Some of that was paid through the paycheck protection program.
It was designed to help businesses pay employees during
the pandemic, but most of the sum was actually paid through
economic injury disaster loans. Businesses were supposed to pay
those loans back on like PPP assistance.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this was the clip I was going to go to
after Buddha just says that things are going great. This is
the best ever administration.
Adam Curry: Well, what happened is, you know, trillions of
dollars was stolen. Not by us. We didn't get any PPP. I didn't
get any
Unknown: No. The SBAS inspector general says pressure to inject
money into the economy quickly was a magnet for fraudsters and
says the SBA did not employ adequate safeguards to prevent
it. The Justice Department has taken action against dozens of
people for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid. They've been added
for two weeks. They have charged 78 defendants including two
dozen doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. This game
spans 16 states and resulted in $2.5 billion of alleged fraud.
Officials say much of the fraud targeted the elderly, people
with mental health issues, and people addicted to opioids. One
case accuses doctors of plotting with telemarketers to get
kickbacks for pushing unnecessary medical equipment.
Another scheme allegedly involved buying HIV medications
from patients, then repackaging them to sell to pharmacies.
Prosecutors say in some instances, the wrong
medications, broken pills, and even pebbles were sold.
John C Dvorak: Talking about taking advantage of old people
so I I've been documenting all these phone calls I get from the
various scammers. Oh, yes. And I finally got the one I've been
waiting for. After the IRS, they're going to come to my door
with a gun. They're going to arrest me all these different
things. Here. I got this one. A granddad said what? Granddad
it's your grandson.
Adam Curry: Oh, you got one. You got the phony. The phony. I need
some money. I'm in jail.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the guy had a big deep gravelly voice in New
York accent he sounded like this. And then he says I got my
sound different because I broke my nose. I got into a car
accident the bag went off my nose is broken.
Adam Curry: Wow. Okay, of course now wait a minute. First of all,
how could you not be recording this?
John C Dvorak: I was up there was in the office. I don't have
a recorder hooked up to this
Adam Curry: phone hit one of those suction cup jobs. It's the
wrong phone number the suction cup you put on this? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: remember? I know I feel so bad about not having
this. That's where easily see this guy and his voice
inexcusable, hey, I broke my nose. I can't say I don't sound
right the granddad and I so I, you know, I wasn't gonna get
much out of this guy because it was wasn't recording and so I
say to him, I say, That's down. That's terrible. And he says,
and then I said I said, and what's worse is that my grandson
is only 12 years old. How did you get a license? Click?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Hey, Granddad granddad. Yeah, they could use
some effects.
John C Dvorak: So that was the that's that was you got I don't
know, I might be now on a list because you know, they have
Adam Curry: they're, they're relentless. They don't care.
They'll keep trying it with you. And I think I think they sell
the list because ever since we tried to get that the pig
butcher thing onto the air with us. Um, now now they're sending
me pictures. It's always some Asian chick, Chloe. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Hello Chloe, the Asian chick.
Adam Curry: I did want to point something out, you know, this,
this World Health Organization treaty which is which is already
a treaty with America as part of the treaty, but they're
upgrading it. And from what I understand that and then won't
be until next year, they don't really have to do much with it.
They actually got a pig butcher call right now we're not going
to do it. So they it doesn't need to be ratified. It can just
kind of continue somehow. The ratification the original treaty
has article 18 is something people are talking about. And it
calls on member states to quote tackle false misleading
information or disinformation and to manage info demic acts
through social listening initiatives. And they have a
social listening initiative known as the early AI supported
response and social listening system, also known as IRS which
you can find at Hu dash irs.com. And you can by country you can
look into all the disinformation and see what people are are
talking about on social media right now in real time.
Unknown: Given the URL again,
Adam Curry: W H O dash irs.com So they have a social indicators
and I've got it now the last seven days in the United States
now this is around the world. Distrust is it 16 Doesn't work.
John C Dvorak: Works for me. W H O dash irs.com Yeah.
Adam Curry: Doesn't work. I'm doing it right now. And it
works.
John C Dvorak: It doesn't work here W H O dash, dash e ar s.com
There it is. And if I hit the refresh, it came up out.
Adam Curry: So you can see here they've got social indicators.
And let me grab the United States because I've had for the
whole world they do it for the hope that they're so amazing for
the whole world United States. topics of conversation 18.9% are
talking about COVID vaccine 9.7% industry this is only about
health stuff. It's not about anything else. Industry and
economic impact. 6.7% right now talking about myths and
disinformation. These are some key stats, top keywords COVID
online people vaccine license passport, pandemic vaccines,
rising keywords, license, top hashtags COVID-19 COVID, long
COVID Maderna. ivermectin. Oh, we got to squash those people.
Oh, no. Hashtag HcQ S has risen 11 100%. So somehow they're
going to use this to, you know, make sure that that the
government's are all listening in and making sure they it's a
dashboard basically, to Dashboard to adjust. Adjust the
messaging. What do you think boo? Oh,
John C Dvorak: is this domain?
Adam Curry: I'm pretty sure that the World Health Organization,
John C Dvorak: there's no evidence of that on this page.
Adam Curry: Well, that's a very good question. Who is W H O
dosh? yours.com. I'm not dumb. I'm glad you. Yeah. According to
the WHO IS server, the World Health Organization owns this.
That's evidenced right here in the Whois record.
John C Dvorak: I'm looking at the Whois record with GoDaddy
version. It does.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but I'm in the Whois record online, you know,
like,
John C Dvorak: what I'm on. Now
Adam Curry: you're on the GoDaddy thing.
John C Dvorak: Well Go Daddy's got a good Whois server, and
well how can mine show It was okay no ibasis shows it it shows
it. Yeah,
Adam Curry: Ave APIA 20. Geneva. Got the phone number? Plus for
one that's that would be Virginia. Yeah. And they own it.
It's the real deal.
John C Dvorak: It they put it on the website somewhere. Yeah.
They don't
Adam Curry: want podcasters you know, figuring it out. I love
it. I think this is great. And fantastic. This actually came
from the new Wikileaks file dump this information, which I
thought the WikiLeaks file dump had already been done, but I
guess there's new stuff in there. Now they open up the file
the OLA you don't
John C Dvorak: have authority to look at it.
Adam Curry: No. Well, I'm not Jake Tapper. I'm not working for
CNN. So I'm not I don't have clearance. So I can do whatever
I want. You gotta hold a Hotep Hotez clip before we get out of
COVID. This is
John C Dvorak: a classic Hotez clip. This is him over the years
starting 2019 talking about how long does it take to make a
vaccine and it goes right up to date.
Unknown: It's usually a 10 to 25 year timeframe. People forget
how long it really takes. So you
Adam Curry: need to point out that this this super this super
cut or mini cut of his starts when Trump was talking about
vaccines? And of course, that's when no one would you know
Kamala Harris, I'll never take the Trump vaccine Trump vaccine
bad not going to who knows what he's doing with his warp speed?
No good. So of course, warp speed is crazy. It takes 25
years,
Unknown: it's usually a 10 to 25 year timeframe. People forget
how long it really takes to develop an effective and safe
vaccine and do all the adequate clinical testing. The current
record for developing a vaccine from start to licensure in the
United States is around three or four years. So that's the
realistic timeframe. We'd have to start thinking about when you
look at the timelines of Coronavirus facts, this COVID-19
vaccines it really follows the same progression as almost any
other vaccine, the vaccine development cycle for COVID 19
vaccines very much goes along with what we've seen before and
there are some very variances but, but modest, and I think
that's an important story for people to know if they're
concerned about taking COVID-19 vaccine. Man Trump's
Adam Curry: got to get his story straight about vaccines, you
know, the moms for liberty, there's your group,
John C Dvorak: never gonna happen. Why did you say one of
his favorite fatal flaws is as he never admits he's wrong.
Adam Curry: I mean, the moms for Liberty won't vote for him
because of that one issue. And they've got they I think they
have real grassroots power. It's really, really short sighted.
It's really stupid.
John C Dvorak: He's hard for him to say, hey, look, I was taken
for a ride on this. I was wrong. I had the wrong people in place.
In fact, I hired a lot of people that shouldn't have been hired
because I can't seem to hire people properly. He's just can't
do it. It's just too much.
Adam Curry: Well, that is a fatal flaw. If he if he came out
if you've literally said, Hey, I got duped or whatever. And he
should include the lockdown in that which was really not a
duping but he just didn't want to he knew that he will be toast
if he did that. But you probably know in hindsight might not have
been if the rest of the world shut down. And America didn't.
But if he did that if he admitted his flaw if he just
said hey, now I screwed up
John C Dvorak: that little part of the festival game where you
admit you're wrong and he takes you take a beating for two
minutes. He's good.
Adam Curry: Yeah, people would would revere him if he did that.
Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: can't matter. It's just something that's not
possible.
Adam Curry: That's too bad. That's all he's missing that and
maybe he'll do it. October surprise.
John C Dvorak: Surprise. Trump begins human.
Adam Curry: Everybody All right, before we take a break and it's
a doozy of a break because for some reason what have we put up
a new web page or something that says Send long notes Adam and
John love it? What happened?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea what happened here with these
long these long notes.
Adam Curry: I mean, we love the support but
John C Dvorak: it's it started notes have got to stop
Adam Curry: they really are a little bit too long. And I think
there's another thing you know because of your excellent
delivery of these company names. People like yeah
John C Dvorak: well we've had to put a stop to that eventually.
Adam Curry: This funny company's coming up though. I can write
this off if I make my company name but give it
John C Dvorak: a good excuse to write it off. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's funny. Queen Ursula, very short clip but
she's doing the impossible what will never happen can't do it.
It's illegal
Unknown: and During this European Council, we have
discussed the topic of immobilized Russian assets. We,
the Commission will come forward with a proposal and we will
focus prudently on the windfall profits from the immobilized
assets of the Russian Central Bank.
Adam Curry: They're gonna steal the money, they're gonna steal
the money for from the Counterparty assets from the
Russian Central Bank when they got cut off from Swift. It's
amazing.
John C Dvorak: Guys, you're criminals. Why this is a
criminal act. There's gambling
Adam Curry: going on. That's a criminal act. Of course. It's
the all criminals. That's the beauty and then
John C Dvorak: they brag about That's what gets me. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, I so I have two clips here, which just
fantastic Max Blumenthal, who was the editor of the grey zone,
and I'm not sure who invited him, but he's in the United
Nations. He gets to talk for 10 minutes. And he spoke so fast,
he got 20 minutes of content in talking to I think it's, I don't
know if it's the Security Council or the Oversight Council
doesn't matter. Because the clip got out there. I have two clips
from this 10 minute thing, which is just phenomenal. Really, I
mean, like, oh, there's 10 minutes of no agenda. Actually,
there's half an hour of note no agenda jammed into into 10
minutes. So too much shorter clips, a buck and a half for
each one. And this first one is about the money that the United
States is sending to Ukraine, which, of course would be nice
to have audited and it'd be nice to have an audit from the
Pentagon in general. But this is not just Pentagon money. This is
just the Ukraine money that the United States citizens have
given to the Treasury or measures money they printed up,
it doesn't matter. It's our money and listen to where it's
going.
Unknown: We found among many bizarre payments a 400 a $4.5
million payment from the US Social Security Administration
to the key of government. We found $4.5 billion worth of
payments from the US Agency for International Development to pay
off Ukraine sovereign debt, much of what is which is owned by the
global investment firm Blackrock that amounts to $30 taken from
every US citizen at a time when foreign 10 Americans cannot
afford a $400 emergency. We found tax dollars earmarked for
Ukraine, padding the budgets of a television station in Toronto,
a pro NATO think tank in Poland. And believe it or not even rural
farmers in Kenya, we found 10s of millions to private equity
firms, including one in the Republic of Georgia, as well as
a million dollar payment to a single private entrepreneur and
Kias. Our audit also revealed the Pentagon's $4.5 million
contract with a company called Atlantic diving supply to
provide Ukraine with unspecified explosives equipment. This is a
notoriously corrupt company that none other than Tom Tillis, the
chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee previously
lambasted for its, quote, history of fraud. It once again
Congress has failed to ensure these shady payments and massive
arms deals are properly tracked. In fact, much of the military
and humanitarian aid shipped to Ukraine is simply vanished. Last
year, CBS News quoted the director of a pro's Alinsky
nonprofit in Ukraine who reported that only 30% of aid
was reaching the front lines. The embezzlement of funds and
supplies is at least as troubling as the potential
consequences of the illicit transfer and sales of military
grade weapons. Last June, the head of Interpol warned that the
massive transfers of arms into Ukraine means quote, we can
expect an influx of weapons in Europe and beyond and that
criminals are now as we speak, focusing on them.
Adam Curry: Now, of course, these are all little tiddlywinks
mounts but this is exactly what is about every these are the the
people on the on the sidelines. They're just you know this just
just cream that is being shaving off the top because you need a
billion is 1000 million and this some say $150 billion that has
already gone to Ukraine well to the military industrial complex
and stuff that doesn't really work is old etc. And I don't
even know if they've started building the new stuff they took
the money for it is a giant scam and but it does kind of make you
know it makes people mad. So I think it's good that he did that
and know his dad is not Sidney Blumenthal dumb trolls. And
here's my favorite because one of our favorites Jen Psaki comes
up here's the criminal gang for you, including a blink Lincoln.
Unknown: Indeed, military cemeteries in Ukraine are
expanding almost as rapidly as the Northern Virginia McMansions
and beachfront estates of executives for Lockheed Martin,
Raytheon, and assorted beltway contractors benefiting from the
second highest level of military spending since World War Two.
These are the real winners of the Ukraine proxy war. Not
average Ukrainians are Americans, the Russians, the
winners or Europeans for that matter. The winners are people
like Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who spent his time
between the Obama and Biden administration's launching a
consulting firm called westech exec advisors, which secured
lucrative government contracts for intelligence firms in the
arms industry. Lincoln's former partners at West exec include
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, CIA
deputy director David Cohen, former White House press
secretary Jen Psaki, and almost a dozen current and former
members of Biden's national security team defense secretary
Lloyd Austin for his part as a former and possibly future
member of board member of Raytheon, and an ex partner of
Pine Island. capital investment, which collaborates with West
exec and which Blinken himself has advised. Meanwhile, the
current US Ambassador to this body the UN Linda Thomas
Greenfield is listed as a Senior Counsel at the Albright
Stonebridge Group, a self described commercial diplomacy
firm that also finesses government contracts for the
intelligence and arms sector and which was founded by Madeleine
Albright, infamously known for her comments that the deaths by
sanctions of half a million Iraqi children were worth it. So
while military aged Ukrainian men are ripped off the streets
by military police and sent to the frontlines the financially
and politically connected architects of this proxy war are
planning to walk through the revolving door to reap
unimaginable profits once their time in the Biden administration
is over for them and negotiated settlement to this territorial
dispute means an end to the cash cow of close to 150 billion in
US aid to Ukraine.
Adam Curry: There you go. Antony Blinken, Jen Psaki, the actual
ambassador to the United Nations from America all in they've all
got consulting gigs they're all these this is the criminality
John C Dvorak: it's disgusting.
Adam Curry: Yeah. It's great.
John C Dvorak: But I wonder what gig John Pierre Van Damme is
going to end up with.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, she checks a lot of boxes she's gonna she
she might have multiple board seats. I think she's more board
members who mentioned
John C Dvorak: her on your board that's a visual I really, really
like lesbians.
Adam Curry: Really don't like that. But with that I like to
thank you for your currency in the morning to you the man who
put the sea into the COVID segue ladies and gentlemen say hello
to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: Korean the Borneo ship see boots on the ground
feet, their subs in the water and all the names and nights out
there in the
Adam Curry: morning. In the account of the trolls choke out,
running around. Try to get away fast but No they can't. I got
your count. 2268 200
Unknown: low. Yep,
Adam Curry: we are a little low. Well, it's Fourth of July
weekend, Fourth
John C Dvorak: of July five, six Day weekend, because everyone in
their right minds or has normal jobs may find a way to take off
Friday and it's sometimes Thursday. I think when I was at
the air pollution district we'd find some way to take off there
you go. Ah, I'm sick. I've got to take off a couple of sick
days. Thursday, Friday or out Saturday, Sundays a week and
you're out. Monday, Tuesday's a holiday you're out. And then you
come back on Wednesday. So you've got 123456 that you can
probably stretch it to seven take a quick trip to Europe.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: by the way, Christina probably hopefully
it's just about landed in New York. She's coming. I realized
the worst time of the year to fly her in with candidates
John C Dvorak: the worst time of the year to fly and report after
report about how miserable
Adam Curry: it is. And they had a direct flight yesterday from
Amsterdam to Austin, which was canceled. So they had to stay at
the airport without their bag never get there without their
bag. Without their bags. Stay at the airport to get on now. They
had to go through New York. It could not be I mean, I didn't
tell her that but you could not have a worst possible connection
through New York and it's raining in New York. It's
raining air traffic control shutting down. So I'm just
praying that she'll she'll make it him.
John C Dvorak: She will eventually eventually.
Unknown: Yes.
John C Dvorak: Hi, dad. I gotta go. You gotta go home. Gotta go
back. And you
Adam Curry: know what? Caleb? So Calum? Real nice, you know,
because first of all, they had direct flights. They had seats
sitting together initially and so they got split up. They got
to take a KLM flight and an American Airline some I don't
know how they how KLM now works with American Airlines. So they
gave them a voucher for their overnight stay in Schiphol
Airport. Can you guess how much? I don't know. 15 euros. What? 15
Euros per person.
John C Dvorak: 15 euros. You can forget just like a snack. Not
even buy a hotel room or anything.
Adam Curry: You can't even buy a Snickers bar for that anymore.
It's crazy. Anyway, yeah, so it also of course, also a big
mattress sale weekend here in America. Trust and cars. Anyway,
we're working. We're very happy to do it. We love it. We
appreciate these more than 2000 Trolls listening up live that's
very much appreciated with love having you on board. It's like
having your own little studio audience with hecklers. It's
fine. And you know you you're listening probably a troll
room.io which is one place which is actually I actually you
John C Dvorak: brought up an interesting point. Okay. This is
more you know, a real studio audience of a very controlled
you get the guy If they're clapping his hands they gotta be
likenesses applause and all the rest of it. And there's no
heckling that throw you out. This is what the heckling is
more like a comedy nightclub. Oh, where you got the hecklers,
you got the wise asses and they're all chiming in worse
than a comedy nightclub. There's only usually one or two people
with the guts to do it. But with an anonymous crowd like this,
you have a bunch of you get some input that you wouldn't normally
get. Mostly you suck. But besides that, well
Adam Curry: boots on the ground when last last weekend, I think
Tina and I met up with the our friends Vic and Chris there came
in from Dallas, and they had VIP tickets to the comedy mothership
Joe's club that Joe wasn't performing that night. Our issue
fear was, and it was we had a nice little booth. We're sitting
there and the girls start talking to each other. And
within two minutes, guy comes over ash, there's no
conversations or heckling. There's no heckling at this
comedy show. None you get ejected.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's not kosher. No, that's what it is.
And comedians are supposed to be able to deal with it. They have
all these stock lies is one thing. You learn this from
comedians or producers do a thing, which is that in the
world of comedy is not considered fair artists steal
material you have to pay for you if you get caught, you have to
write a check out. Yes, yes. But when it comes to put down lines
that are in the the comedians all use the same ones, it's fair
game, to best put down lines, which and there's dozens of
them, where you can call out somebody in the audience for one
reason or another. I've used a few of them myself, in certain
situations. When I give speech I I know these what these jokes
are, and it's shuts people up. There, it's considered fair game
to steal all the best ones, and you use them and that comedian
is supposed to be able to handle the artists himself.
Adam Curry: assures is not happening. I'm just saying,
John C Dvorak: oh, that's that's not that's not kosher?
Adam Curry: Well, that you're not getting a gig there. And
that's for sure.
John C Dvorak: Anyway, if I got a gig there, I shouldn't have to
worry about knowing these heckler lines.
Adam Curry: I like I like our trolls. I like how they heckle
they get really mad at me sometimes. Of course, I'm always
you know, during the show, I'm typing in there. You suck. Yeah,
like something's in your mom. Where's army boots? classics
like that. Is that the line you would use? Yeah. Okay. Anyway,
troll room.io is where you can listen live. You got the the
troll room there, you got the stream there. Of course, I would
recommend you use one of the fabulous podcasting 2.0
compatible apps found at podcast apps.com, where many of them
have this actual capability built into it. You can import
all of your legacy podcasts into it, you can drop Apple, drop a
Spotify, please. We're not even on Spotify. So I don't know. Why
are you using Spotify? We're not even on there. And Spotify is
not doing well. They are going do you hear that? The CEO is
yes, I'm bringing some people to take over some of my
responsibilities. You hear that one? You know what that means?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's out. He's out
Adam Curry: sick. Yeah. So the Wall Street is like you suck.
You spent a billion dollars and it didn't work. Now, John, the
curry Devorah consulting group could have told him that because
we spent other people's money trying to make it work Emilio
and pod show and guess what? It doesn't work. We figured it out
the hard way. What actually was easy for
John C Dvorak: us, but you figured it out. It wasn't the
hard. That's the easy way to figure it out. Wasn't our money.
Yeah, we had the hard ways losing your ass and the deal we
had a lot personally.
Adam Curry: We had a lot of fun though. I still have some of
those shares. No paper. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: That's good. Good. frame them.
Adam Curry: They could Yeah. Okay. Now another way to track
us and to stay in touch, which now is even more important than
ever seeing as Elon Musk has limited what you can do on
Twitter. And if you don't have a Twitter account, if you're not
logged in, you won't even see a link. I think this is a mistake.
I think he's made he's made an error here.
John C Dvorak: No, tell me again. Okay, so
Adam Curry: he's done two things. One, if you are non
verified like myself, you get 600 No, I think it's 300 posts a
day you can read 600 If you're new like within a month I II
probably a bot or a scammer or a spammer. You get 300 posts you
can see a day. Now if you're verified, then you get 6000. So
if you're verified means you pay him then you can see 6000 So
that's one Have you up? And that's a huge mistake. Can I
just reiterate what I said that Elon Musk would ruin Twitter? I
think it's coming true. Well, we'll see. The the next part is
well that he cut off the API access. You can't use any any
other apps. I can't. I used to be that was a mistake host
automat? No, you can, but you have to pay 1000s of dollars a
month. Yes, that's a chip. That's a big chip. And now if
you're not logged in, and there's a link to a to a
Twitter, post, unless you are logged in, you it will just take
you to the login page. So you won't actually see whatever that
post is without going to without logging in without being a
John C Dvorak: personal I can't just casually look at somebody
else's. So So in other words, wait a minute, this isn't good.
So in the olden days, if you had if someone had blocked you, and
you wanted to see their tweets, you could just you could log
out, log out and then look at him. Yep. And then look at their
tweets was just that easy. Yeah. You can't do that anymore. Oh,
that's no good. And you know, people use I am against Elon,
I'm using knitter.
Adam Curry: And ITT Er, yeah. knitter. Yeah, that doesn't work
anymore.
Unknown: Oh, really? No, of
Adam Curry: course not. The API. No, you can't scrape the API is
gone. No, I think he's making a huge mistake here.
John C Dvorak: Well, he better whatever his scheme, whatever
his scheme is, and we think we know what it is with the money
thing. He better executed quickly. Because this is not
good. These these maneuvers are not healthy for this site.
Adam Curry: Well, it is healthy for clay, he's lowering cost. I
think he's lowering cost. Now there's so much cost involved in
this thing. So maybe that's part of the move here is to use
little less bandwidth, a little less processing power. He says,
Well, there's so much scraping and scamming going on. And you
know, people are stealing my stealing my stuff. Yeah, he
better hurry. You know what he needs he needs fed now. He's fed
now. Christina landed good news. So to circumvent all of that,
both in New York, yeah, New York, how to circumvent all of
all of that bullcrap. You just follow us on no agenda.
social.com Which is, you know, at least you have a chance at
following us. You know, it's through your by being a member
of our community or following us from a mastodon instance that
allows you to connect with us and if not, you can always set
one up yourself five bucks a month. Masto dot host, I think
just don't call it anything. No agenda because he'll block you.
So many tardes and follow Adam and no agenda social.com and
John Cena work at no agenda social.com I think one of the
things that has got us long notes, maybe my fault, but I've
told people how the value for value model works. It's good to
reiterate it from time to time. We have never had commercials
we've never had any kind of creepy corporate money. We never
promote products. We like a product. We'll we'll talk about
it endlessly. If it's an outstanding product and we don't
like it. We're going to talk about it. You know, so some
products just become staples in our own lives. We don't have to
promote this No, no. Native Ads here anything that's dishonest.
We are completely honest. And sometimes even the honesty is
hard for people who say hey, donations are down help us out.
But the value for value mod was very simple. There's no paywall,
no, no passwords, no premium freemium model, nothing like
that. You don't you'd be I mean, you're not a member of
John C Dvorak: the Patreon have special episodes to tell as much
Adam Curry: premium special episode only for members. No,
you get it all.
John C Dvorak: That sucks. By the way. That's really cool.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's the worst. It's the worst. So you can you can
listen to us forever for free. Now. We pretend portend that
there's value to what we're doing and everybody gets some
kind of with you have to be getting some value from it. If
you're listening otherwise, you what kind of life do you have
you listen to stuff that's invaluable to you. Now, whatever
that is, it could be very little value or a lot of value and we
can't determine what your value is. Just send that back to us.
Time talent treasure for some treasure and for most actually
treasure is the easiest, because everybody can can pony up some
money somehow. You can do it once a year for all we can do
once a show something a lot of people do once a year. Yeah, and
that's fine. We love it and we have enough people that once a
year
John C Dvorak: I think that people do it once a year should
do it more. Well, I
Adam Curry: agree. But it's okay. You know, we're leaving Up
to you, that's always been the way we've done it. And because
people are realizing how valuable it is that like, I'm
going to send them some money. And I'm going to tell them how
valuable that it is in 800 words or more, but we appreciate it.
But it does eat up a lot of valuable valuable airtime that
we'd like to use for more show. Just saying that now we have
many other time and talent contributions. The one we always
like to highlight is the work that the artists do we have many
artists who contribute to no agenda art generator.com So we
can have a a hot piece of of art. For each individual
episode. We think it pops we think is good for the social
media. It's good for promotion, people like oh, what is this
what's going on? You look at your podcast app also on there's
something new was not the same boring old image that people tap
on that it gets people interested reminds people that
we are the best podcast in the universe. And if you question
that it's in the Durham report. Go ahead and take a look. So we
want to thank Nikko Syme. Pretty much a unanimous decision. It
was me you said
John C Dvorak: was debatable.
Adam Curry: We debated but I thought you said it
John C Dvorak: you know you it violates one of my rules violate
a rule Yes. Which rule to the rule is a gruesome or ugly image
gruesome image. Yes,
Adam Curry: very good. But
John C Dvorak: I might comment was it's funny. It's not
gruesome. It's funny. Especially with the antenna on the head
antenna
Adam Curry: made it less gruesome. This was the a lot of
people did. Did mosquitoes Yeah, a lot of people tried different
mosquito gags. I kind of like Darren O'Neill's mosquito robot.
You didn't like that
John C Dvorak: noise I made? Yeah. Where's the mosquito
robot? Where's that?
Adam Curry: It's down below. It's next to the pride flag.
Versus face I'm probably not going to do a pride flag.
Probably not. There was a bill yet and there was this field
gates mosquito which actually probably deserved a little more
discussion
John C Dvorak: Yeah, maybe I just liked his mosquito as well
done it was is dimensional comes out of the image he's got he's
got the hand over the door that no agendas like
Adam Curry: yeah that yeah, there's some dementia
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. To monitor looking in the Mosquito
was funny. Funny mosquito. Well, it's funny in a gruesome way
funny in
Adam Curry: a very gruesome way. Was there anything else there
was but we know what no one did the ball gag strap. That was
John C Dvorak: good. No, there's a ball gag down there on the
duck. ball gag Biden.
Adam Curry: But not the way it should have been done. No, it
John C Dvorak: should have been Biden with the ball. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I mean, that would have been a contender. That
would have been the duck is actually pretty funny. You know,
why didn't I see it? It wasn't that clear? didn't do any Ben
did that the Biden duck? I don't Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: think you would have complained to Biden Harris
was too small
Adam Curry: to if she had made the duck the whole thing just
bigger it would have it would have maybe tilted turn the duck
head just a little bit more towards the view angle? I think
I would have I would have. I would have stood tall for that
one. I'm thinking
John C Dvorak: it makes you wonder what do you mean it makes
you wonder makes me wonder what is this? You get this s&m image
with that leather tight leather and a neck thing and a ball gag
and you're you're going to be promoted?
Adam Curry: Yeah, why not? That's hilarious.
John C Dvorak: What's going on in your house there in
Fredericksburg.
Adam Curry: Hey man, mom's for liberty. What can I tell you?
All right, everybody. The last part of our three T's is the
treasurer and we love to thank our executive and Associate
Executive Producers early on in the show just like Hollywood
does. I mean, you get a credit home man. We watched the movie
last night and almost almost turned it off because all the
credits were at the beginning. When is the last time you saw
one of those
John C Dvorak: Isabel I watch a lot of old movies for you see
that a lot.
Adam Curry: But you know a movie this was but tar with the new
John C Dvorak: avatar. Take Cate Blanchett was the movie any good
Holy
Adam Curry: crap. Democrat what dynamite a great movie, but
she's a great actress out of control the whole movie is. I
mean, it's first of all, it's about the classical music
industry. Which mean which of course is probably worse than
rock'n'roll when it comes to intrigue and could easily be
yes, but it's it's also kind of a go first movie, I mean, I
don't want to give it away, but it's really good. The first 20
minutes is like what is the credits were like, if these
credit don't stop, you know, we're gonna not even gonna watch
this thing. And then the first 20 minutes, which turns out is
all kind of important just to set it all up, but then it gets
good. And Claiborne Cate Blanchett award winning
performance. I definitely award winning performance. Great,
great movie. So just like Cate Blanchett, you can have a credit
on IMDb. Yeah, go ahead and take a look@imdb.com Yeah, and look

was a big mistake I just made there.
John C Dvorak: All right. Here's an interesting little tidbit. I
got a little tidbits, you know, the Supreme Court did all these
things. got everybody all bent out of shape. I
Adam Curry: actually have a couple of those clips. Yes.
John C Dvorak: I just have this one. I may have to but I wanted
to play this one because there's a tidbit in here that nobody
else reported on. This is the gay web designer tidbit.
Unknown: We have another major ruling from the super in court
this morning, a Christian web designer is allowed to refuse to
make same sex wedding websites. The court found Colorado's anti
discrimination law violated the web designers rights. The court
ruled six to three in favor of web designer Laurie Smith. The
decision takes power away from state's public accommodation
laws when applied to artists. Five years ago, the Supreme
Court ruled in favor of another business just miles from Smith's
business. That was a wedding cake maker who refused to make a
cake for a gay wedding.
John C Dvorak: Remember that the wedding cake it was right down
the street?
Adam Curry: Well, of course, because this is all just to
antagonize. I mean, the American way of handling this when
someone does not want to make your gay cake, your trans cake,
your black cake, whatever cake it is, you know, is to start
your own Cake Company and clean up. But that's not what this is
about. This is all political. And there's one reason for No,
yes. And of course, the whole point is NBCs. Meet the Press.
Unknown: How concerned are you about the direction of this
conservative court? And does Congress have any sort of role
to try and rein in what you and your fellow progressive
colleagues feel as a problem?
Well, I'm very concerned because these three kids together have
some things in common. And one thing that jumps out at me was
the aggressive way in which this Court granted, standing for the
plaintiff standing is a legal term. And you know, what
restraints the court from just becoming its own legislature to
deciding questions before it willy nilly is this idea of
standing, there has to be a real, a real, something really
at stake for the plaintiff, they really have to be harmed. So in
the case of student loans, several states attorney
general's brought up the brought the cases forward against
President Biden's student loan relief, but hard for them to
prove that their states are that they were being harmed. So it
came down to a loan processor named mohila, which is not even
a state to say, well, if President Biden relieves all
these students, from these owners loan payments, they're
gonna make less profit from processing those loans. They
turn that into standing for the several States.
Adam Curry: Yeah, so unfortunately, this was about
one of the three cases that were in the Supreme Court of the
United States one was the gay wedding cake or LGBTQ clients.
Here's a clip about that. Another wedding
John C Dvorak: website, website, I'm
Adam Curry: sorry, website, and
Unknown: then another ruling today putting the right to free
speech against the right to be free from discrimination. The
court ruling in favor of a graphic designer Laurie Smith,
who says she wants to make wedding websites but not for gay
couples,
whether you share my beliefs or completely disagree with them.
Free speech is for everyone.
The six conservative justices concluded Colorado State law
prohibiting businesses from discriminating against customers
would force Smith to create speech, she does not believe
drawing a line between what the state conceded was Smith's
artistic expression, and a more basic business like a restaurant
open to all the state blasting the decision.
This decision is not what our Constitution, what our
democratic republic stands for our work to protect equality,
and to limit the damage of the decision. We'll start today,
Justice Sotomayor, for the second time this week, reading
her dissent from the bench for nearly 20 minutes calling the
decision profoundly wrong, saying the effect is to mark
LGBTQ citizens as second class status.
Adam Curry: Then there was the affirmative action case. Now
let's discuss these one by one actually. So the difference
between the website and the wedding cake, which I really
don't see, but the difference between the website and the
wedding cake is you're forcing me to write or say words or, or
express myself creatively. It's not the same thing as refusing
to serve a gay person a sandwich in a sandwich shop. Is that in
my understanding this I
John C Dvorak: think that's about right in this case would
have been more interesting. If the if the refusal was about
putting together a election site for Donald Trump and refusing to
do it because you don't like Donald Trump but the other thing
oh, wait, wait yeah Angie brown say about that.
Adam Curry: That's a Where did you get that idea from? That's a
good one.
John C Dvorak: A lot in my head. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Just straight out of your head. Then we had the
college admissions, which was brought by an Asian American who
said, hey, it's racist and not letting Asians in because we're
so smart. Or something like that.
John C Dvorak: I have the college admissions clip. Oh,
good. I have all I need.
Adam Curry: I have the Supreme Court I have that too. But if
you don't have
John C Dvorak: shit on me, I can't find any.
Adam Curry: Well, now Now this was of course a problem. Let's
see, here we go. This is from NBC.
Unknown: A landmark decision from a bitterly divided Supreme
Court rejecting the use of race as we know it in college
admissions Chief Justice John Roberts leading the six three
conservative majority to conclude programs at Harvard and
the University of North Carolina violated the law, writing the
school's unavoidably employed race in a negative manner,
involve racial stereotyping and lack meaningful endpoints
Adam Curry: the polarizing, stigmatizing, and unfair
jurisprudence that allowed colleges and universities to use
a student's race and ethnicity as a factor to either admit them
or reject them has been overruled.
Unknown: Praise there from the architect of the lawsuits. As
the decision quickly began to set in on college campuses.
This is a really disappointing decision not only for me, but
for every student on this campus and any student who's planning
on applying to college in the future. This is immediate
impacts. The schools were accused of giving substantial
preferences to black and Hispanic applicants, while
discriminating against Asian students since the late 1970s,
the court had allowed schools to use someone's race as one plus
factor in admissions. Today, the justices offering starkly
different views of the role race still plays in society.
Adam Curry: So this was interesting. Affirmative action
is where this stems from and that has been allowed in, in
higher education. Very, very, very polarizing issue for the
United States. I think they're asking the wrong question is why
would you want to go to one of these idiotic schools? What
you're gonna get a piece of paper that that gives you no
work? The all you can become is stuff that is just not
interesting anymore.
John C Dvorak: I don't know about that. Oh, please. The
thing. That note is anybody brought this up, and you're not
going to bring it up? Because nobody brings it up? What's the
most populous state with one of the largest university systems
in the country, California? We have not had affirmative action.
It was thrown out in 1996. So this really has nothing to do
with California. Nobody brings that up. I don't see anybody
suffering out here.
Adam Curry: Where was the Asian student? What school was this?
It
John C Dvorak: was either North Carolina or Harvard, or Yale.
Maybe it was one of those schools back East. We gave up on
this affirmative action thing in 1996. And nobody has bitched and
moaned and groaned about it. And it wasn't brought up in any of
the news reports. I saw it respecting all these schools,
the giant University of California socialist school
system, has not said shit about it, because they don't it's got
nothing to do with them. And why is this completely been ignored?
Adam Curry: Because it's about politics as usual. It's about
exactly
John C Dvorak: bull crap is why
Adam Curry: they want it but we'll get to why in a moment.
But first, let's listen to MSNBC about how the Republicans are
crooked. Republicans are to blame for
Unknown: this, your thoughts on this misuse of Dr. King to
explain what's being done to people of color and other
minorities?
Again, Joe,
it's also exhausting. I'm leaning on my grandmother's at a
gym. The only time you should be surprised is when you're
surprised. We've seen time and time again, Republicans and
conservatives constantly cherry pick the words of Dr. King to
hide behind their own racism and white supremacy. So yes, this
content of their character, you know, I don't want to judge them
by their skin color. Republicans pull that out every single time
they systematically take away people's rights. It's like,
Well, Dr. King wouldn't want it. It's like well, first things
first, Dr. King was assassinated. And when he was
assassinated, he was known as a domestic terrorist essentially
in your eyes. So let's not hide behind a few sentences that you
all want to use every time you take away rights and freedoms
from the vast majority of Americans specifically in his
explicitly black Americans.
John C Dvorak: Who was when it was he known as a domestic
terrorist. He was he was What is it call when you sit down you
sit in yes, you're peaceful. You don't do anything.
Yeah, no, like, non violent passive resistance, all that
sort of thing. How's he a domestic terrorist when it was
he ever called that? She's making this up. Who is that joy
read? Of course, it's
Adam Curry: joy read. Why
John C Dvorak: is anyone asking her she's supposed to be a
whole? She's not like an expert on the topic,
Adam Curry: because it's all about this one. It is by the
way, yes, California,
John C Dvorak: which does not have it. Since 1996, there's no
Denver, there's no Republicans behind this scheme. It's
Democrats. It's a Democrat state. It's owned and operated
by the Democrats. So this is, this is I hate her.
Adam Curry: Well, wait until you hear this bit. Let's just be
Unknown: clear. Clarence Thomas was born in pinpoint Georgia, he
is a magala extraction. He didn't even speak English until
he was seven years old. He spoke the Geechie tongue and was so
afraid to speak in front of white people, because he was
always told, don't speak Geechee in front of white people,
because it would embarrass you that he almost never spoke at
all. There was a non white nun who's large s helped get him
through school and get him those good grades. He has had been
assisted, you know, by white patrons, really his whole life,
even now buy very rich ones as they fly him around the country.
And to your very point, he seems to deeply resent all of the
assistance he got. And he wants to make sure that nobody like
him ever gets that kind of help again, because it helps his self
image so that he can lie to himself, oh, she's blind reader
and maybe hate himself a little less for having gotten help all
along his path to the Supreme Court. And let's be clear, the
most important thing to know about his confirmation other
than the fact that he's accused credibly of sexual misconduct is
the polling that got him over the line. And it was the polling
that I very much remember I was one of the few black folk who
was against him. It was the polling that showed that about
seven in 10, black people supported his ascension to the
seat once held by the great Thurgood Marshall and he is not
his equal. It was black people support that got wavering
members of that Judiciary Committee, Avery scissors,
they needed Democratic votes. It was a direct majority. That's
why Joe Biden, in those hearings running they they needed the
Democratic vote.
And it was only black people's support in those polls. That got
wavering Democrats to vote for him. And he has repaid black
people with scorn ever since.
example,
Adam Curry: example give me why she says he doesn't say
anything. The guy never know what
John C Dvorak: what's an example she says she's rubbish repaid
with scores. Give me one example. There's
Adam Curry: no examples what they want. Is this,
Unknown: something similar happened with affirmative
action. A made up group students for fair admissions, not even a
real student. Not you know, unlike the Baki case, and
affirmative action, there was not a particular student that
was harmed and was granted admission to the Harvard or the
University of North Carolina, and and 303. The 303 kreativ
very hypothetical issue over the digital creative artists so that
the court reached out to bring these cases to them, to my mind,
very big overreach of power. The way we check that is we need to
change the composition before
Adam Curry: I die. Yes, change the composition of the Court,
the Supreme Court is problematic.
Unknown: And when you say change the composition of the court
does that mean that you believe that President Biden just adds
to the current roster of nine justices is, is that the most
immediate solution?
Well, Congress has has a role in this Congress. At various times
throughout our history. The court has been as large as 15,
the small as seven. It's not been nine. For all the time in
our republic, Congress has adjusted the size of the Supreme
Court several times. And in fact, when the New Deal
legislation by President Roosevelt was threatened by an
aggressive activist, conservative court, he attempted
to pass legislation to enlarge the court was called a stitch in
time or switching nine saves switching time saves nine get it
right. It was an effort in the 1930s to expand the court. So
it's been contemplated before it has been done before.
Adam Curry: And what does it take to do that, John? What does
it take to pack the court?
John C Dvorak: Well, obviously you have to have the Senate
agree to do it and they do for them to do that they have they
have a 60% of them and have To say, yeah, you can do that which
isn't possible right majority. So the first thing you have to
do is a two step process. Okay? First of all, you've got to
abolish the filibuster rule, a simple majority would allow this
to happen. Right? Well, to abolish the filibuster, you need
a filibuster proof Senate supermajority. So you can't do
it. It's just this is all hot air.
Adam Curry: Ah, but we can still sign up the American people with
a CBS original documentary. And original CBS reports
Unknown: documentary
was entitled to a full pay or a full word under the law office,
the
Supreme Court's power need to be checked
nine Supreme Court justices Bob OBLEMS said No, she's not
entitled, that's not right.
Calls to fix the court and to go along with the politics of the
moment.
Republican appointed justices have all tended to go in one
direction with the Democratic components of justice, these
tend to go in and
even though it's only nine justices, it takes five of them
to make the law of the land.
Does it have political impact, true political intent? Probably
not true. If
the American people don't trust the judgments of their court,
that's a real problem for our democracy. Now a
Adam Curry: problem for democracy. They don't just trust
the judgment of the court. Yes. And
John C Dvorak: so the narrative that the mainstream media and
the Democrat Party keep putting together requires this sort of
nonsense, and they just never led up
Adam Curry: well, there's so there's one more piece and this
is a this is this, I think, is what it really comes down to I
mean, we all know that okay. Affirmative action in schools,
whatever okay, you know, gay wedding cake. Gay website. Okay.
website is really about this
Unknown: tonight in a major blow to the Biden agenda. The Supreme
Court blocking the President's sweeping plan to cancel $430
billion in federal student loan debt and a six three decision
the conservative majority ruling the administration overstepped
its authority. by forgiving the debt without approval from
Congress. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing the Education
Secretary did not have the power to rewrite that statute from the
ground up. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Elena Kagan
writing, this court today decides that some 40 million
Americans will not receive the benefits the plan provides,
because So says the court that assistance is too significant.
Tonight, President Biden vowing to try again with a new debt
relief plan under a different law, the Higher Education Act,
but he warned it's going to take time,
we'll use every tool at our disposal to get you the student
debt relief you need and reach your dreams, both for me for the
economy. Yes, could you the culture me
Biden's original plan to forgive up to $20,000 for some
borrowers, was the fulfillment of a campaign promise buying
votes, 6 million Americans have already applied for the release.
Like Renee Moya, who has $62,000 in student loans, and recently
took out a new mortgage.
I do feel disappointed. We find ourselves in a situation where
because of that promise, a lot of us literally 10s of millions
of us make decisions with our lives to move forward. Whatever
life choices we made, we made explicitly with the
understanding that the President was going to get student loan
cancellation done
starting in October, borrowers will also have to restart their
federal loan payments when a three year pandemic pause comes
to an end. But the President today said those borrowers will
not face the phone for the first 12 months. If they can't make
those payments, the interest will still accrue. The
administration will also roll out a new repayment plan for
borrowers that will cap monthly payments at 5%. of income. A
plan The White House says could save Americans $1,000 a year,
Republicans had argued Biden's original plan was unfair to
people who already paid back their loans or didn't go to
college because of costs. And tonight Republican presidential
candidates celebrating the ruling.
And can I just say God bless the Supreme Court. They are making a
lot of
wrongs right.
Late today the President press on whether he gave Americans
false hope.
I didn't give bars false hope. But the Republicans snatched
away the hope they were given real hope. Do you
Adam Curry: think this will make any difference in
John C Dvorak: well, this is interesting. Were a number of
reasons. And now we know what the arguments are on both sides.
Well, you know, I went and I paid my loan back why do they
get their loan paid back by my tax money? You don't have
Adam Curry: to use mocking tone. It's a real concern.
John C Dvorak: It's well it's not much of a concern. It is
they're going to take our four to Billy for 2 billion by the
way. It's not like chicken feed for 2 billion stealing, give it
to Ukraine, whatever the case is, they're stealing our money
left and right. Yeah, that's just another way of doing it. I
I think that the the big argument now be doing the
punishes. Do the voters blame Biden because he promised what
he couldn't deliver on and they're gonna it's gonna hurt
his campaign or they're gonna do what the report the Democrats
trying to do which is blame the Republicans however wasn't for
the Republicans, you know, and the Republicans can point to the
Supreme Court said it was their decision, or they can point to
the Nancy Pelosi clip you may have it. I didn't get it. But I
don't I don't man. Nancy Pelosi says he can't do it when he
first proposed the idea.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we have that the president can't do that.
John C Dvorak: play that clip. He said the president can't do
this. Because it's illegal. You have to ask Congress. And in
fact, if Biden had asked I just my argument, by
Adam Curry: the way, you're going to hear now here's the
clip. I want to hear the clip.
John C Dvorak: Yes, people think
Unknown: that the President of the United States has the power
for debt forgiveness. He does not, he can postpone, he can
delay. But he does not have that power that would fast to be an
act of Congress. And I don't even like to call it
forgiveness, because that implies a transgression. It's
not to be forgiven, get that just freeing people from those
obligations. So it the question of who gets forgiven whether to
use the term of art that is out there is a is a debate, do we
use the whatever money there is for the broadest base of
support? Are the those with more people with even less debt or
fewer people with more debt? That's a policy discussion. But
the difference between the president don't president can't
do it. So that's not even a discussion that not everybody
realizes that. The President can postpone delay, but not forgive
me said
Adam Curry: only a minute.
John C Dvorak: So my thinking is, is that Biden could have
done it correctly, which is go to Congress, when he had
Congress in his pocket. When he first got elected, and done the
deal, and they would have been passed when she was the she
would be the she was the head of Congress at the time. And again,
he had the Senate and Congress don't forget that when he first
got in. It could have done a deal but he chose not to I don't
think he was ever sincere about this. Of course, he wanted to
hang it out there as a promise to get votes which he did. Never
ever he that was before the election. He got the votes he
got elected, didn't do the deal when he could have it with
Congress. let it slide to the Republicans got it. Now he
blames the Republicans in hopes to get pulling the same stunt
making another promise he's gonna do it. And it's those damn
Republicans and he's trying to get more votes. This guy is a
total pot. Political creep.
Adam Curry: Well, it's one of three guys.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, one of these three guys, these three
guys, and they blame the bluing pulling a stunt and the idiot
said keep voting for him. This is like Lucy and the football.
It's the same thing they they're dumb. They these voters are
stupid to buy into this.
Adam Curry: I love how they blame the black guy in the
Supreme Court. It's his fault, and they blame this
John C Dvorak: one guy.
Adam Curry: Alright, let's look at the other side of the
pandering and bull crap. Let's go to Ukraine. Former
Unknown: Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to
you yesterday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky
2024 Republican presidential candidate has been a vocal
supporter of Ukraine, and is the first in a crowded field of
contestants to meet Solinsky. During the war,
Adam Curry: ABC had a little bit longer report only 44 seconds
though there's news
Unknown: coming in tonight from Russia, one of Vladimir Putin's
top Russian generals is missing. In panel reporting and
now from Ukraine. David a US
official tonight confirming to ABC News that top Russian
general Sergei Serbian has been detained after that fell mutiny
attempt in Russia. It comes after a US official claim that
Sarah Viken had advanced knowledge that Vagner chief of
Guinea percussion was planning to march on Moscow. Meanwhile,
March Vice President Mike Pence made a surprise visit to Ukraine
today, the first Republican presidential candidate to do so
hence meeting with Zelensky, vowing continued support for
Ukraine. And they talk among some in the Republican Party
questioning how much aid the US should be providing to Ukraine.
Adam Curry: Yeah, Pence Ashley had to had to hurry up and get
over there because Greta Greta was on her way she was taking
the train. And Greta met was the Lensky we don't have any any
audible clip but she was there because he's very concerned that
the war is possibly bad for the environment. Such she met with
him. But this there's Russian general story. This is this is
really good. This is what we're brings it all the mutiny on
Moscow it brings it all closer to home. Putin is in real
trouble
Unknown: that the only thing that we know for sure right now
is that top general Sergey servic in was detained a US
official confirming that much to CBS News. But the details really
stopped there. It is really not currently clear whether sort of
ikan was put under formal arrest was released after some
questioning, or as some of his family members have said to
Russian media is out and about and working as usual. The news
of his detention comes as you said, US intelligence indicate
he may have had some foreknowledge of this rebellion
lead now one week ago by Wagner Group chief of Guinea Prigogine.
And there are open inquiries as to whether he may have been in
fact a supporter of that effort, which appeared, of course
designed to potentially overthrow elements of the
Russian military's leadership, that like many things is an open
question at which you know, the US Western and very clearly
Russian intelligence officials are taking a very close look. As
for the concerns about a potential purge at this stage,
you do see President Putin working very conservatively now
to reconsolidate power to squash dissent. But think that, you
know, uncovering a vast conspiracy to overthrow the
government would acknowledge that one was allowed to spread
in the first place. So you can expect the Russians to tread
very carefully there.
Adam Curry: And the CIA is now on Insta. With an account with
the Yeah, they haven't Hola, what do you want to left channel
only all of a sudden? That's interesting. Yeah, they have an
account, CIA and they have a Tor link, a Tor link to their
website. And they are instructing Russians how to
contact them. Because you know, there's probably about 2 million
people who want to become CIA agents inside Russia now.
Unknown: Meanwhile, Ukraine's military intelligence agency
says Russia is reducing its personnel at the occupied Zap
aresia nuclear power station, Ukraine yesterday conducted
nuclear disaster drills near the camera advice earlier this
month. Kyiv accused Russia of planning a terrorist attack at
the nuclear power plant, which is the largest in Europe. Moscow
has denied those accusations.
John C Dvorak: There you go. Get out. Get out of there.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Get out. Get out while you can. Well, you
can. How about China? This is the last thing we probably have
to talk about today's what's going on in China. I actually
I'll kick us off with Let me see. I'll kick us off with Oh
yes, good news.
Unknown: State Department has greenlit a potential sale of up
to $440 million worth of ammunition and logistics support
to Taiwan. The Pentagon notified Congress of the approval
yesterday, which is expected to be conducted in two separate
deals. Taiwan says the aid and ammunition would boost its
resilience against China's quote, expanding threats of
military tactics, which it says poses a serious threat to its
security. The sale would include high explosive and training
rounds, while the logistic support would assist in buying
parts for vehicles and weapons.
Adam Curry: You got anything on China? Well, the
John C Dvorak: thing I have on China was kind of an interesting
story that wasn't played up. So it's kind of the social media
story. There was a junket of a bunch of these influencers to
China, which is these junkets are common but I guess nobody
these influencers don't know how to handle it. I I've had my
advice, I've given it out. They listen to our show, they know
what to do. And it was done by Shin and you can play these
clips this is like Shan Shan
Adam Curry: who shins you don't know Shen or don't know Shan who
Shan Shan
John C Dvorak: is that? Is that website that sells clothes. By
the billions of dollars, maybe daily sweaters cat I mean
anything you want you can go to S H E I and most women know
about this website now. The only reason I found out about it was
I was watching some daytime talk show. And I checked it out it's
unbelievable and this stuff you go you buy all this stuff and
this is one of these these deals it gets shipped from China to
right to your door no duty no nothing even usually should be
technically in some ways because many machine made at least a lot
of it and they're just kicking everybody's ass and everyone's
freaked out about Shin ruining the reason Macy's is going out
of business is because it's shin and one other company Tim CO or
some there's others some other you there yes I'm
Adam Curry: here. Keep going.
John C Dvorak: And so there's one other company is Shannon one
other but Shen is the big one sh e i n people should go buy
something from him and they You bring down to Western
civilization, or sorry, or he's
Unknown: the publisher of the Journal of Political risk. He
joins us now to discuss the backlash that fashion company
Shin faced after flying in social media influencers for
public relations. It's great to have you with us, Anders, what
do you make of this? Well, social
media influencers, that the Tick Tock are, basically and other
types of social media influencers, flew to China Shin
paid for them to fly to China, I believe. And they were surprised
by the public backlash, the they were toured around in different
factories. They were you know, I mean, it appears that they were
expected to report positively on Sheehan, one of the influencers,
said that she was an investigative journalist, you
know, which, of course, was not probably the case, technically.
And, you know, the backlash was brutal online. These influencers
apparently apparently did not know that, you know, all the bad
things are happening in China in terms of forced labor, genocide,
and they just didn't cover that. And then their followers who
were smarter than them on this on these issues did cover it.
So maybe you can help make sense of this. Why do you think these
influencers would highlight these fancy robots and the clear
stacks of packages and all these rows of happy workers, if maybe
that wasn't in fact, what's really happening behind the
scenes?
Well, they were flown in to China, at China's expense or at
shins expense. And when that happens, you feel you're not you
know, people naturally feel like they want to return the favor.
And this is the big problem with these kinds of boondoggles. And
China doesn't just do it with a company like xi and they do it
with US Congress persons. They've done that in the past.
They've done it with US military officials. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: so this is like, somehow has exploded on social
media is a big deal personally, having seen these junkets, which
is more than a boondoggles a junket. And it's a an
experienced them firsthand. I just don't get what the big deal
is about. So I have to assume that the there's some again, I
hate to say it, but there's some op going on, where these people
were excoriated and hopped going on this an OP going on, because
they go to Shan to the factory. I went to these because I can
name the companies, but it's a bunch of them. You go you see
the factory? Oh, yeah, there's a factory. How about that? And
then you report back because you didn't get to go see the
Uyghurs? No, you didn't get to go see anything but this factor
in this so that you report on the factory, you don't you don't
have to, I mean, there's no rule that you have to that's
bullcrap. And you try to talk to people there and see what you
could find out. For example, when I was out the Samsung had a
factor. It was a Samsung, no Acer, Acer had a factory in
Suzhou, China, that shipped us there. And it was a we look at
the keyboard factor. I don't know what it seems like a lot of
money to spend for somebody looking at a keyboard factory.
But I asked the guys about the keyboard factors. That's when I
learned they were making the workers made $25 a week and have
been the guy who was the foreman of the keyboard factory said to
me, yeah, he says, we're trying to get rid of him and put in
robots. And I said, where are they too expensive. He says on
now they make mistakes. It's like a real problem. He says
that robots will be a lot better. We'll get rid of all
these employees, I think any kind of indicate throughout
China, they're going to do this, which kind of belies the China
population going downhill and all the rest of it because
they're putting robots in everywhere. And I swear, I
learned something. And you know, I reported on it and that was
that a this thing? Something's wrong with this story? Because I
don't get the backlash part of it unless it's been set up by by
one of our p bar State Department.
Adam Curry: Well, that wouldn't surprise me now, would it?
John C Dvorak: So you just send some some jerk offs from
Instagram and and tick tock posters. You're shipping to
China and back. So what Let's Play Part Two, you know,
Unknown: the big US corporations that come into China, the CEOs
are saw, I believe they're given sweetheart deals, to promote
China, I believe. And also these a lot of these executives,
including around the world in Germany, and other places are
the biggest lobbyists for China that are out there, because
they're the ones making the big money. So, you know, the shin
situation is the World World Politics and microcosm in terms
of China and the US
and in Light of the Sanders owner read a statement that she
had put out he said the trip reflects one way in which we're
listening to feedback through social media videos and
commentary are authentic, and we respect and stand by each
influencers perspective and voice on their experience. So
what should we make of this?
That's propaganda. I mean, what's really happening in China
is the Uighur genocide, forced labor. And Shenzhen and other
Chinese companies want to pretend like this is not
happening. And in fact, it's illegal in China. For for
people, companies, businesses to get this information out. They
don't let people in the regions like Tibet and shinjang where
there are these atrocious human rights abuses and instead they
bring the influencers to some fancy factories that are today's
Potemkin villages.
Adam Curry: Yeah, Potemkin villages.

what I actually have two clips of one is actual information sag
after update so we can realize that the actors are bailing out
on the writers. And in
Unknown: Hollywood, the actors union sag AFTRA has agreed to
keep talking with the major movie and television studios
passed last night's exploration of their contract. The union's
agreement To extend the deal until July 12, averted at least
temporarily, a second Hollywood strike. Screenwriters have been
on strike since May. Currently there are no negotiations
between the Writers Guild and producers. More than 300 actors
including marquee names like Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence
and Ben Stiller sent their union leaders a letter pressing them
to negotiate for what they call a transformative deal, rather
than compromising too soon, sag AFTRA members have already
authorized the leaders to call a strike. For both actors and
writers. The shift to streaming has meant less work and less
pay. Man
Adam Curry: Hollywood's falling apart.
