John C Dvorak: I love pop up bagels.
Adam Curry: Adam curry Jhansi Devora November 30 2023. This
Year Award winning elimination media assassination episode
1612. This is no agenda, celebrating our HDS and
broadcasting live from the heart of the country here and FEMA.
Reason number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry here from
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon Valley where we're saying rip
Henry Kissinger. That means it's the end of the Adrenochrome
shortage. I'm John C. Dvorak, raglan.
Adam Curry: Bushkill Are you telling me that Kissinger was
hoarding the Adrenochrome? But
John C Dvorak: this guy must have been using most of it? Most
of the world's supply? Well,
Adam Curry: well, that I did not expect from you but I'm all in
on it. Gets. You know, when you think about it, the great reset.
I keep saying you know, the queen is gone. Kissinger is
gone. Charlie Munger is gone. The Pope is sick. We're almost
at the great reset.
John C Dvorak: Huh? Yeah, well, I think those guys are all
responsible for so maybe the great reset won't happen.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, the a great reset, maybe not the one
they're expecting. Maybe not that one. I have to ask you a
quick question. Right off the bat. We were at a at a dinner.
And I met a guy and
John C Dvorak: who knows you don't shouldn't give me your
money.
Adam Curry: Who is a who was a huge donor and alum of UC
Berkeley. Okay. And he's about your age. And he was you know,
big in the sports and donated tons of money and he no longer
donates. I'm not giving any more to those nut jobs. I say by any
chance. Do you know John C. Dvorak? Oh, of course I do.
John C Dvorak: Bill, Bart. Bill, Bart. Yeah.
Adam Curry: b r dT. He's a wine guy. He's into sailing.
John C Dvorak: I may have met a guy named Bill Bart. Well, he
was like, he never shows up. He never calls you never right.
Adam Curry: Well, surprise, surprise. Next time I see him
say hey, man, John's all pissed off. You never ride you never
show up. You never called never write. You never come to the
alumni meetings.
John C Dvorak: It was just it was one of the I actually know
they used to solicit me constantly. And then I've my
original thing was, it's if you're a Cal graduate you,
you've learned how to tell people not know. But it's a
Sunday teacher. And so I used to say, well, you know, the problem
is, Earl Anthony produced this building and gave it to the
university. And it had to be for all for the end of time and had
to be used for a humor magazine. And we used to house the
California pelican. And then out of the blue, I don't know the
80s or something. They just took the building and turned it into
something else. And they stole the building from this guy who
donated it because of the guys long dead. So they don't care.
They do this all the time. All of universities do it. I mean,
they take people's names off and things as you know, no, yeah.
And so that that kind of almost worked, but it didn't quite work
until they call one year and then I haven't heard since I
have not heard one call sense. Do they call they said we should
you know, alumni. We need money. Yeah. Do you
Adam Curry: think they've heard our show? Maybe like, off the
list? And you said what
John C Dvorak: I said, Well, I lose looking at the money that
Cal is donating politically, and they gave $1 million to the
Barack Obama campaign. If you can give that kind of money
away. You don't need my money. And they never called sense.
Surprise,
Adam Curry: surprise. Who would have thunk? Yeah, the bill,
Billy, I think, isn't it? He called? He said, Yeah, you know,
the last time it was there, you know, they needed new new
uniforms for the volleyball team. I gave him cash and said,
Don, I'm not going to put it into the coffers. You'll never
get it appears cash.
John C Dvorak: I'll be true. I was probably true. Yeah. I says
right. Have you heard our show?
Adam Curry: We always accept cash. Cash
John C Dvorak: is good. Cash. But we did weed but checks are
easier to account for money flying around.
Adam Curry: So just like we got kind of like an early warning
from Richard Haass about Ukraine, and Russia, about that
winding down. I think I may have not it's not quite to that
level, but I have a signal that I don't know if, if it's been
discussed that much. But CBS has this new reporter intelligence
reporter who is complete spook You know, she's got that spook
face. She's blond, long blonde hair. She has a very hard time
looking straight ahead at the person she's talking to. So she
keeps looking down with the
John C Dvorak: CEO. That's yeah, Chris do that too.
Adam Curry: Okay, let me mark that one. I can't remember,
John, I can't remember. But you're probably right. And I
mean, she's just a total spook, and I have never seen her
before. Maybe you have. She's on CBS. And she brings us the news
that our director of CIA is now getting directly involved in the
hostage negotiations, which to me means one of two things or
possibly both. The Biden administration has pulled the
ripcord like this has got to stop because the genocide Joe
thing is out of control, a totally out of control. And
possibly that CIA is responsible for all Malays around the world.
And that then the CIA controls all of this crap. But
John C Dvorak: you know, the whole on the CIA not wanting
Biden to come back might be behind genocide. Joe,
Adam Curry: there you go. Well, let's listen to how can you
imagine that you're so right, at least one section of the CIA?
Well, let's listen to this because there's a couple of
interesting little tidbits in this. And you know, I typically
wouldn't start off at the the top of the show with the Israel
Hamas conflict, but this just came in this morning like this.
I got to talk to John about it. CBS News,
Unknown: Intelligence and National Security reporter
Olivia Gaza's joins us now. Sure.
Well, there's lots of moving parts here, Nancy, but
broadening the pool of hostages eligible for release is one of
the key components that the US and burns is pushing for here.
Specifically, that means extending and future agreements,
the eligibility to men and soldiers, which make up some, if
not most of the American hostages that continue to be
held by Hamas.
Adam Curry: Okay, right off the bat men and soldiers, which is
most of the hostages held by Hamas? Soldiers, our soldiers,
men, are these agents. Are these advisors? What do you think this
is? I think the change in the narrative sounds like you know,
all the women are out now, I guess, according to the spook
lady. It's a
Unknown: tough sell. Hamas has not shown any indication that
it's open to this kind of arrangement in previous talks.
But one of the bargaining chips on the table we're told is
Israel may boost the ratio of Palestinian prisoners that it's
releasing in order to secure more hostages. So thus far, the
ratio had been three to one or 150 for the 50 hostages that
have come out to date. And we could see that ratio boosted and
Hamas has favor in order to control the release of these
more tightly held hostages, including men and soldiers. And
this this,
Adam Curry: it's all weird. You know, we upped the ratio from
three to one. And doesn't this sound like some kind of
important guy exchange that is going on here? And Who are all
these Palestinian detainees that Israel has?
John C Dvorak: So that's the ones the same women and children
that they grabbed from the West Bank and elsewhere who threw a
rock at a soldier and they threw him in jail. Okay,
Unknown: including men and soldiers. That's
really interesting, because right now, the ceasefire is
supposed to lift on Thursday morning, why send the CIA
director to negotiation?
It's a great question. Oh.
Now I know she's a spook for sure. Thursday morning, why send
the CIA director to run point on this negotiation?
It's a great question. I mean, Bill Burns has been deployed by
this administration. Behind the Scenes
Adam Curry: boy, he's been deployed as a sort of behind the
Unknown: scenes Goshi ating utility knife and some of the
utility knife. He's
John C Dvorak: like a Swiss army knife. Goshi ating utility
knife. Yes, that's what that's what you're
Unknown: sort of behind the scenes on negotiating utility
knife and some of the thorniest geopolitical scenarios are
Adam Curry: going to use the corkscrew irlam or the tweezers?
I mean, which you know, or is it a Leatherman that also has a
vise you put on the nuts
Unknown: is that it's confronted thus far. So he dealt with the
Taliban has the US left Afghanistan? Well, that was well
done good work to warn Vladimir Putin ahead of the invasion of
Ukraine. Another good one, he worked on thawing frozen
relations with Beijing in the aftermath of that spy balloon
incident.
Adam Curry: Why, wow, this guy is quite the record.
Unknown: So he's really been working behind the scenes. And
now he you know, he has been he's a veteran, diplomat. He's
got a wealth of contacts. He's got a lot of gravitas in the
region. Robert, he's now got the added benefit as an intelligence
chief of working behind the scenes in relative obscurity,
which some of these really tough deals require in order to break
through. He's also meeting with counterparts from Israel and
Egypt, who similarly have a lot of influence and clout in their
respective countries and regions. And so that's why
there's hope that this group of stakeholders in again, relative
obscurity can make some real headway here. And he's got deep
ties in Israel as well. That's right. Yes. And dealing with the
Mossad director that he knows very well is an added bonus
here.
John C Dvorak: What's his name?
Adam Curry: Who the Mossad director?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I don't know. They say they just Mossad
director. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And MD Mossad director, he has gravitas in the
region.
John C Dvorak: Gravity's Nisha, go clean it up.
Adam Curry: So I think some signals gone out. And Bibi is
not a part of this. And in fact, Bibi has sunk so low, he went on
Mark Levin show on Fox,
Unknown: go Mark Levin, go ahead and say it that great
Adam Curry: one and said the following.
Unknown: We're destroying their infrastructure, their command
poles, their rockets, their underground tunnels, and we're
going to win, because we have to win. This is a battle of the
forces of civilization against the forces of barbarism. And if
barbarism wins in our part of the world, Europe will be next
and America will be next. Because the axis of of terror of
Iran, comas, Bala husband booties and their minions
imperiled.
Adam Curry: The Houthis and the other minions are the minions
now part of the access of terrorists and
Unknown: their other minions will imperil the Middle East and
then spread their barbarism to the entire world. Israel is
fighting our war, but it's also fighting America's war. It's
your war. And our victory will be your victory. Yeah, let's
Adam Curry: draw the line there. Bibi. Let's draw the line there.
But you're not fighting our war. Now for him to go on. Live in to
say that I think he's lost all gravitas in the region.
John C Dvorak: Was it living radio or TV show? Fox Fox Fox?
It was a weekend show. Lavinia has two shows on the weekend. I
don't think
Adam Curry: a lot of people watch that. No, nobody watches.
Fox. No, nobody's watching Fox at all. So something is changing
here. And you know, and this is pretty desperate of him to say
this and that you saved the Houthis and their minions Come
on. The Houthis are gonna now attack us.
John C Dvorak: And I find something sketchy, sketchy.
Adam Curry: And then, of course, we need to up the propaganda
everywhere. TRT Turkish Radio Television love those guys.
They've got a new one.
Unknown: The Israeli army is being accused of organ theft and
Palestine guys. Report by the urine med human rights monitor
expressed concern over allegations that the Israeli
army confiscated dozens of bodies from Al Shifa and the
Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, as well as from the safe
corridor Israel had implemented and subsequently targeted. The
report suggests that the Israeli army took Palestinian bodies
from a masquerade and one of Alisha FOSS court guards, a
claim backed by the Director General of the health ministry
in Gaza linear al Bush, you're amid monitor says suspicions of
Oregon Tech were based on evidence cited by medical
professionals in Al Shabaab. This included claims of missing
cochlea and corneas as well as other vital organs like you
can't
Adam Curry: I know happen a little bit about here and eyes.
You can take someone who's been under the ground or some even
good story more than a few hours old, you've got to immediately
grab
John C Dvorak: that you'd be brand new, but now
Unknown: livers kidneys and hearts
Adam Curry: and livers and kidneys and hearts and toenails
is also said
Unknown: that the claims cannot be proven or disproven solely by
medical examination. Patients underwent surgery before their
death allegations that the Israeli army still corpses
during a seizure of the medical complex have been reported by
several other outlets. However, this is not the first time
Israel has been accused of Oregon's theft.
Adam Curry: Yes, beautiful. So to counter that, now the view
getting we got to counter the narrative this we've got to
confuse everybody. We've got you know, and we'll get to him in a
moment. Obviously, we've sent Elon out to distract from
everything he loved the Jew hater. But the view steps it up
a little bit gives a little gravitas in the region to the
Israelis.
Unknown: I am still devastated. We're two months since this war
has been underway by the silence from women's group in this
country about the rape being used as an act of war. And this
attack the fact that sexual violence was used against
Israeli women in the major women's groups in this country
have not come out and denounced it this week and Sheryl Sandberg
put out a gripping video we're calling for it that violates
every rule of law of warfare. It is the height of immorality and
the fact that the United Nations and entity for gender equality
and women's empowerment has been silent. The UN Committee on
Elimination of Discrimination Against Women has been silent in
the international Mewtwo movement. Now
Adam Curry: it's no good just no good. It's no good. Everybody's
all bald trying to move it away
John C Dvorak: from the Sheryl Sandberg clip. She goes on and
on. I didn't
Adam Curry: see it. I didn't see it. I would have enjoyed. Yeah,
it was.
John C Dvorak: Gosh, there's two things I don't have which I
should have gotten one I did have I don't know why you didn't
post it but is the Oakland City Council going nuts? Oh, I don't
know why the city council's do this. But they're going to pass
an anti Hamas resolution with the we hate Hamas. Like like
they're in Oakland.
Adam Curry: Just everywhere.
John C Dvorak: Every idiot in the in the Bay Area comes to the
city council meeting wearing the scarf, the Palestinians scarf
and screaming at the City Council.
Unknown: Good for you. Good for you, Kathy. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: this whole thing is a scam and in the IDF shot
those Israelis the IDF and they blamed the whole thing is a
giant conspiracy. You're being suckered into it one person
after another and all wearing masks, of course.
Adam Curry: Kifah Yeah. And masks, and that's perfect.
John C Dvorak: Perfect. So it's kind of nuts. It's very funny,
though. So
Adam Curry: then, and I'm really, I really have to jack
Hughes, Ilan. I really think that this was so well timed by
him to go to Israel trounce around, you know, I'm so sorry.
I made a mistake. And I mean, he's just been fantastic clips
of Elon, we just have to play some of this. Because, well,
first of all, it solidifies my prediction, he will ruin
Twitter, that's for sure. It won't be the same. But first, an
ABC report that kind of summarizes it all
Unknown: this morning, Elon Musk is apologizing for endorsing an
anti semitic conspiracy theory on his social media platform X.
That might be literally the worst and dumbest post that I've
ever done. Speaking
to The New York Times, the world's richest man had a
message for the companies who pulled ads from his platform,
telling them don't advertise and using an expletive, multiple
times to emphasize this point. You
don't want them to ever to know. What do you mean, if somebody's
gonna try to blackmail me with advertising blackmail me with
money?
My face mounting criticism after he agreed with the user on X,
who falsely claimed Jewish people are stoking hatred
against white people. Musk saying the user was saying the
actual truth. amid the fallout, Musk visited Israel.
Adam Curry: That is, by the way, is it complete
mischaracterization of what happened but I guess Musk is all
very extensively three shows ago mischaracterization of what what
the tweet was about what he said. But that is irrelevant,
because Musk is the
John C Dvorak: truth is that it is the truth is in the eye of
the beholder.
Unknown: Okay, exactly the actual truth. amid the fallout,
Musk visited Israel touring a village where dozens of people
were killed on October 7. Israel
is independent of of it wasn't something like apology tour,
the controversy could reportedly No,
Adam Curry: Joe told me to go we're gonna stop the genocide.
Joseph wasn't apology to work cos
Unknown: x up to $75 million in loss ad revenue. By the end
Adam Curry: did she say 75 million should be 75 billion,
shouldn't it be 75 million that's nothing 75
Unknown: Change it is million dollars in loss ad revenue by
the end of the year. Actually
what what this advertising boycott is is going to do it's
going to kill a company.
They're gonna say Elon that you killed the company because you
said these things and that they were inappropriate things. And
they didn't feel comfortable on the platform. Right.
And let's see how Earth responds to that.
The long awaited Tesla's cybertruck Today well, four
years after a prototype was unveiled, its distinct look
drawing mixed reactions. Its so called armored glass proving to
be anything but boy. Man, many experts say the polarizing
Adam Curry: I know they went straight into this that taken
him down.
John C Dvorak: That's a chickenshit situation. Oh, it's
beautiful.
Adam Curry: This is hilarious. He doesn't cares clarius
Unknown: Many experts say the polarizing vehicle could be
another dent in the company's bottom line. electric vehicle
sales have stalled in the US and Consumer Reports found EVs have
79% more reliability problems than gas cars so
Adam Curry: this will help so we'll get to that because that's
funny by itself. So the not only is I think the entire war being
blamed on on Elon but also the decline of EVs is being blamed.
Everything is his fault. Everything is elands fault now.
So I had to pull three clips from from This interview that he
did at the New York Times deal book Summit, you know, gleefully
covered by CNBC. Because everyone, especially the CNBC
people, Andrew Ross Sorkin is now analyzing Elon and I'm just
gonna stick by my prediction like he doesn't care about
advertisers. He wants everybody to stay engaged stay on the
platform until he turns it into a bank. That's that right
John C Dvorak: on. I agree with that. That's
Adam Curry: what he's doing. So here's how that rolled out with
Andrew Ross Sorkin on stage with a little less bleeping than ABC
did what was that trip
Unknown: like? And obviously by the way, did
Adam Curry: you see the flak jacket he had on walking around?
It was like a baby flak jacket. It only covered his chest his to
his midriff, I mean, his whole stomach and, and groin was
exposed. There was like, you might as well not have one.
John C Dvorak: Okay, you think you have something a little more
like even a catcher's?
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, that's, that's what you want. But no,
no, he had just like, a little little breastplate. Very odd.
Unknown: What was that trip? Like? And obviously, you know
that there's a public perception that you're clarifying this now.
But there was a public perception that that was part of
a apology tour, if you will. This had been said online. There
was all of the criticism that was advertisers, leaving we
talked about why
you don't advertise? You
don't want them to advertise? What do you mean?
If somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising,
blackmail means money. yourself. But go yourself? Is that clear?
I hope it is. Hey, Bob, you're in the audience?
Well, let me ask you, then.
That's how I feel. Advertise, actually, what what this
advertising boycott is, is going to do, it's going to kill the
company. And you see, and the whole world will know that those
advertisers killed the company, and we will document it in great
detail.
Adam Curry: Before we continue with this clip, so he's saying
the whole world will know that they killed the company. I mean,
the first thing that came to my mind is perfect. declare
bankruptcy. He buys it out of bankruptcy turns it into a bank.
Is that pot in the within the realm of possibility?
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think he's gonna go that far. I don't
think so. It's just an idle threat. Because nothing's going
to it. Everyone knows that the military industrial complex, and
the intelligence agencies and they need us the platform,
Adam Curry: they need Twitter, they knew they need that and
they need
John C Dvorak: Twitter and it's not going to get killed. But
it's like it's a it's kind of a roundabout threat to the, to
Disney and others that hey, if you kill the company, somebody's
gonna kill you. Yeah, I think that's a good analysis. Yeah. An
offhanded way, ya know,
Adam Curry: so then he goes on.
Unknown: But there are those advertisers, I imagine are gonna
say, they're gonna say we didn't kill the company to Earth. To
say that they're gonna say,
Adam Curry: I love the grandiose tele to Earth, man, I'm going to
use that. Hey, macho Earth, the kids you use that? You took the
cookies from the cookie jar? Oh, yeah. Tell it to Earth
Unknown: on that you kill the company because you said these
things. And they were inappropriate things. And they
didn't feel comfortable on the platform. Right.
And let's see how both responds to that.
Okay, this goes back to I love
Adam Curry: Andrew Ross Sorkin, who's taking this all seriously?
John C Dvorak: Zero sense of humor hero, New York Times guy?
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. All right.
Unknown: Okay, this, this goes back
to a bit, we'll both make our cases. And we'll see what the
outcome is. What
are the economics of that for you, you have enormous
resources. So you can actually keep this company going for a
very long time, would you keep it going for a long time, if
there was no advertising
company fails, because of advertiser boycott, it will fail
because of an advertiser boycott. And that will be what
bankrupted the company. And that's what everybody will know.
What do you think then? Trust them, then I'll be gone.
And it'll be gone because of an advertiser boycott.
But you recognize that? Wow,
Adam Curry: I think you're right. He is really signaling
like, Oh, really, really? You guys want to kill this valuable
asset valuable to my true customers, the military
industrial complex, and the US government really? Really, you
know, watch you guys get a little call from the White
House. I think that's what do you say? I think you're right
about that.
Unknown: But you recognize that some of those people are gonna
say that they didn't feel comfortable on the platform. And
I wonder I just wonder and ask you and since Think about that,
for $1 to the judge, the judge is going to be judges, the
public, the
Adam Curry: judges the public as beautiful. This is hilarious. So
then I'm going to, then I'm gonna have to play these other
two clips before I can get to the best part, which is Andrew
Ross Sorkin doing an analysis later of Elon. So now it gets
into AI, which of course, you might as well put that in there.
And Eli, go, Elon goes off the rails with this is great. One of
Unknown: the things about training on data has been this
idea that you're not going to train or these things are not
being trained on people's copyrighted information.
Historically, that's been the concept. Yeah, that's a huge
lie. Say that again?
Because these these airs are all trained on copyrighted data,
obviously.
So you think it's a lie? When when open AI says that this is
not none of these guys get their training on copyright? That's a
lie. It's a lie.
straight up lie. Okay. Obviously, it's been trained on
proper data. Okay, so
Adam Curry: he does, he does the best evil guy laughs I've ever
heard. This is phenomenally good. And Ross Sorkin doesn't
even say anything about it.
Unknown: Obviously, it's been trained on perforated data,
which is old.
And he keeps going, he's a cat.
Which is all the people who have been uploading, or whatever. And
all the people have been uploading articles, the best
quotes from different articles, videos, to x, all of that can be
trained on. And effectively now you have this remarkable
repository. And I wonder what you how you think about that
again, and how you think the creative community and those who
were the original IP owners should think about that.
I don't know except to say that the by the time these lawsuits
have decided we'll have digital God.
Adam Curry: So yeah, there you go. We'll have digital God. Yes.
Unknown: Digital God at that point, digital God,
John C Dvorak: you know, did erupt here. Sure. There's an
there's an argument that can be made when you have that thrown
at you that I'm surprised musk and others haven't used as the
following. Okay, so I'm a writer. And I want to write my
first novel. So I read all of Hemingway. I read every thing
he's ever written every art news article, I read all his novels
because I want to get that style. I want to have Hemingway
I want to have that kind of that natty style. I want it. So I
read all this stuff. And then I produce a novel what's the
difference?
Adam Curry: It doesn't matter because by the time the lawsuits
are settled, there will be digital, there'll be a digital
god what's your problem?
John C Dvorak: It just it just seems to me that argument can be
used against the argument that oh, it's all these copyrights
Yes, everything in the world you know you what if you just put
run it off as Shakespeare it's not cabas public domain now,
what if you just use public domain once copyrighted
material? This is bullcrap. This is not a good argument against
AI. The good argument it says bullcrap it doesn't work very
well. That's the argument.
Adam Curry: Well, I actually cut out like a minute of Andrew Ross
Sorkin pining on about as a creator, as a Creator.
John C Dvorak: The Creator beat anyone steal his material?
Because it's so dynamite.
Unknown: To say that the by the time these lawsuits have decided
we'll have digital God. So
John C Dvorak: digital God at that point. Yeah, that's a
flippant answer.
Adam Curry: No, it's very flippant, and it's pretty wrong.
These
Unknown: lawsuits won't be decided before, on a timeframe
that is relevant.
Adam Curry: Okay, not before timeframe is relevant. And then
now, now Elon is going to wrap it home because remember, he's
the guy that started open AI and was, you know, shouting the
loudest, the loudest about the dangers of AI eating the world?
And you know, Sam Altman screwed him over. And they turn to
commercial and Elon has kept saying no, no, no, no, no, no
regulation. We need regulation. One of the smartest people in
the world. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And he's
changed his tune.
Unknown: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I think we live you know, there's that.
Adam Curry: I, you know, I gotta practice. My ILA. You know,
John C Dvorak: I gotta get my mash ups.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry.
John C Dvorak: I shouldn't get it. I've got to get some of
these Ilan moments so I can do it. Another one of my mash ups
who are it's just Elon never saying anything.
Adam Curry: He actually never does say anything. It's just the
complicated speak of Silicon Valley geniuses. like Sam
Backman freed me, Sam Altman Elon Musk. Give me a break
people we live. You know, there's
Unknown: that. I don't know if it's actually real Chinese
anyone not, but maybe live in interesting times, right?
There's apparently not a good thing. But I would prefer to.
Adam Curry: And he's looking up at the whole time it is digital
God, again, not a good thing.
Unknown: But I would prefer to personally, I would prefer to
live in interesting times. And we live in the most interesting
of times.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you're breaking copyright.
Unknown: For a while, I was like really getting demotivated and
losing sleep over sort of the threat of AI danger. Finally
sort of became fatalistic about it and said, Well, okay, even if
I knew it was annihilation was certain. Would I choose to be
alive at that time or not? And I probably would choose to be
alive at that time, because it's the most interesting thing, even
if there's nothing I can do about it.
Adam Curry: So let's just get district. So he went, he went
from warning everybody helping get an executive order, which is
not law. But there's laws being written all over the world, to
make sure that only the biggest incumbents can be the true. The
true gods of AI, which really means
John C Dvorak: much money to be made for just any old schlep,
which go out there and do well,
Adam Curry: which really means only Google and Amazon and
Google and big companies will be allowed to create your LLM 's
your your data models and their cells. They're all selling
horsepower. That's all they're doing. They're all selling
John C Dvorak: microscopes, yours compute cycles.
Adam Curry: So all of that's now over. And now I've given in I
was losing sleep, and I figured, you know what, screw the world.
So then,
Unknown: basically, a sort of a fatalistic resignation helped me
sleep at night because I was having trouble sleeping at night
because of AI danger. Okay,
Adam Curry: so Elon has decided that the world can go to hell in
a handbasket, so that he can sleep at night.
John C Dvorak: By the way, the whole day he's full. This is a
lie. Of course. No way. He wasn't sleeping well at night.
Adam Curry: Really? No, wait until we get to the analysis. 50
more seconds on this one helped
Unknown: me sleep at night because I was having trouble
sleeping at night because of AI danger. Oh, show what to do
about it. I mean, I've been the biggest one banging the drum the
hardest, by far the longest. Or the one of longest on for AI
danger. And these regulatory things that are happening 80s
Adam Curry: No, wait, wait, let's listen to this last bit.
I'm sorry.
Unknown: And these regulatory things that are happening? The
single biggest reason that happening is because of me. Ah,
Adam Curry: it all because of me. I put it all in place. I
believe that because those numbnuts in Washington, DC like
Oh, Elon says, AI danger. Yeah, danger. We got to make him sleep
well at night. Let's put some executive orders in place. So
then Andrew Ross Sorkin, the most boring guy in the world
goes on NBC Today show to talk about his extraordinary because
Elon Musk used the F word. And oh, yes. We had to bleep it out.
It's so bad for children. But you know, Andrew Ross Sorkin I
mean, keep that this is you are now news journalist is the news.
Let's bring in the man of the hour see and lead that
conversation. The man of
John C Dvorak: the hour here was talking to journalists.
Unknown: The man of the hour at the New York Times steelbook
Summit. Hello, Andrew. So I mean, what did you make of that
you've covered Elon Musk a long time. Here he is in the middle
of this fire. Advertisers fleeing his company X formerly
known as Twitter. Thanks for reminding us. And then he has
some he does not mince words.
It was fascinating. I was speechless when he made those
remarks weren't gone viral. I do encourage people to see the
whole thing because in many ways, I think you got to see the
full Elon Musk, I think you saw that Elon Musk is many people.
You can see the design and sort of Steve Jobs version of Elon
Musk, you can see almost a demonic version of Elon Musk.
And the idea is the question is Can people hold all of these
ideas in their head? And can they be in the same person? What
was so interesting to me was he kept saying, I don't care if I
am loved, or I'm hated. But what I kept trying to get back to was
he didn't say
Adam Curry: that. He didn't say that at all. I watched the whole
thing. He didn't say that. He said, I don't care if you
advertise but okay, what I
Unknown: kept trying to get back to was, do you care about being
trusted? Because ultimately, the advertisers need to trust you.
The folks who Gotta get in your vehicles need to trust you,
government that's paying for SpaceX putting these rockets
need to trust you. And we we were trying to grapple with
that. And he was trying to grapple with that. He
Adam Curry: was trying to grapple with that, that didn't
hear that in
John C Dvorak: any of the clips you played and or what I heard
when I listened to parts of it, but it's
Adam Curry: also you would say he was graphic in this, you
would say he was grappling with that not he was trying to
grapple with it.
John C Dvorak: That's that's what he was trying to do.
Adam Curry: Yeah, let's twice he said it twice.
John C Dvorak: Let's face trying to grapple next
Unknown: putting these rockets need to trust you. And we were
trying to grapple with that. And he was trying to grapple with
that.
Adam Curry: Trying to grapple with that. What does the word
grapple even mean? Grapple.
John C Dvorak: grellus. Look it up this reframe. Is the question
on our minds. Yes. Why was he trying to grapple? Or was he
grappling? Well,
Adam Curry: if he was trying to grapple he was trying to grip or
sees as in a wrestling match. Or he was using a tool consisting
of several hooks for grasping and holding, often thrown with a
rope, I think was either one of those. So let's continue with
the next a genius analysis from Andrew Ross Sorkin, where you
talked about demonic the demonic Sagemont act about his
John C Dvorak: demonic demonic.
Adam Curry: What happened to the digital God,
Unknown: we talked about demonic
the demonic side, he
talked about his own demons like,
what did you glean about that part
of him?
Adam Curry: Oh, get ready. He talked about his demons. Look, I
Unknown: think a lot of what drives him in very good ways and
bad ways is a childhood. I mean, there was a moment where he was
almost crying during this interview where you can really
see the demons that power a lot of this and it was it sad. There
is a there is a depression under it. Oh,
John C Dvorak: okay. I don't want to
Adam Curry: analyze him. Yes.
John C Dvorak: I don't want I was a psychoanalyst. And now,
yes,
Unknown: he is.
I don't want to I don't want to say too much about and I can't
diagnose it myself. There is something that is driving him. I
think it's in many ways it's productive. And in other ways.
It's it's less productive, called
Adam Curry: well done, Andrew. Oh, that was riveting. That
analysis, right. He was almost crying on my bench. I'm Andrew
Ross Sorkin.
Unknown: I mean, you know, we're talking about the world's
richest man 20 to $25 billion dollars and his contributions to
modern society are undeniable in so many ways. To your point,
you've covered them for a long time. How do you think it plays
out? I mean, how does this? Where does this go for it from
here for Elon Musk? I mean, does he take X does it get sold as
well? How do you know
he likes to say he doesn't care? He was ready to he cares. He
cares a lot. You can see it you can physically see how much he
cares. So he says he
Adam Curry: doesn't care. But if he does care, I can see it. I'm
Andrew Ross Sorkin.
Unknown: I think look,
John C Dvorak: I think you're saying look, wait, I think I
think look,
Adam Curry: this is good. I think look, is that a show
title? I think look, I think look,
John C Dvorak: what I think mate might be
Unknown: cares. He cares a lot. You can see it, you can
physically see how much he cares. So I think look, I think
you're gonna see great and amazing things happen along the
way.
Adam Curry: Well, hold on a second, the future telehealth,
Andrew Ross, I'm from the future. I'm Andrew Ross Sorkin
great things are coming. I tell you just pay attention to me,
Andrew Ross Sorkin
Unknown: I think you're gonna see great and amazing things
happen along the way. And I also imagine you're going to see
other things like and maybe x will ultimately fail. I don't
know. But I think he's going to try his hard to get this thing.
In a way. It's the
worst of it. I mean, he has recent, you know, I mean, x, it
either succeeds it doesn't succeed, you're talking about
somebody who has an enormous influence in global affairs,
including things such as the war in Ukraine, because it's his
satellite system, you can turn on or turn off. And that's
Adam Curry: that rubric. This was my favorite. They keep doing
that even though he sold that into you know, what is it the
military version, which stays on wherever the US military wants
it on, please are able to fight
Unknown: I'm talking but we talked about that the power that
he has the leverage that he has ever it's interesting, because
he he has all that leverage in these physical systems that he
owns, but he doesn't have that leverage in, in Twitter in Acts
it's a different it's a different business. But the
other thing I was just gonna say that was so interesting to me
about it was was human. You know, there's this little that
page in US magazine says they're just like us, no matter how much
money you have, what your business title on your business
card. There are these feelings that people have and they're
complicated, and I think being able to see that we often don't
have that opportunity so fascinating.
Adam Curry: So I'm the best this you want to see feelings. Watch
me I'm Andrew Ross Sorkin what a douchebag. Yeah, no, but it was
very entertaining. Just I mean, that's the best kind of
entertainment is when the people on stage don't realize how
entertaining they are. And this whole Starlink thing that seems
that probably have been the main reason for Elon to go into
Israel for another sale.
Unknown: Now, Elon Musk also control Starlink, which is an
internet satellite service, which makes him a key player in
any conflict on this earth. He wanted to provide the service to
aid organizations in Gaza. The Israeli government wasn't happy
saying that Hamas would use it for terrorist activities today
and Israeli Government Minister posted that they had reached an
understanding that Starlink would only be used in Israel and
Gaza with the approval of the Israeli government. We have not
yet confirmed that
Adam Curry: there you go sales call.
John C Dvorak: Yes, what was your sales call? Call?
Adam Curry: Hello, ma'am. Hey, you know, these my I have a
customer over here in Gaza. And they get a lot of money in
Qatar. So you want a defense link? What is it? Isn't it
called defense link? What is it called? Star link military
version? It's something else on defense link. It's Star Shield.
John C Dvorak: Star Shield,
Adam Curry: Star Shield. That's what it's called. Star Shield.
It's a sales gonna
John C Dvorak: go in there on an apology tour is going to he
would go on a sales call. Exactly. Right. It's a kind of a
shaggy dog story you told but you're welcome. You're welcome.
Essentially what you did there. Well done. Oh, thank you. Thank
you for talking about the Jews, Israelis. The rest of us did at
least get a couple of my clips out of the way. I didn't do too
much about that. I do have the update for the the hostage
thing. Whatever the hell's going on, it might be worth playing.
But first let's play Chuck Schumer. Oh, Chucky,
Adam Curry: Chucky, what is Chuck? He's
John C Dvorak: talking about uh, you know, he's concerned about,
you know, all the Jew hate that's going on in the United
States because of the Palestinian problem. Protesters
which are organized by some radicals of various sorts, left
and right. It's a problem. And now, which is again in
previously I would say Chuck Schumer would be responsible for
the encouragement of these folks. But now that they've
turned out to be Jew haters.
Adam Curry: This is no good
Unknown: a five alarm fire that must be extinguished. A Senate
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warning the nation of a
dangerous rise in anti semitism. Lawmakers are now investigating
possible anti semitism at America's top universities.
Adam Curry: I love her they keep going after the universities
it's your Black Lives Matter crew bro. It's who you activated
during Trump that's who it is
Unknown: entities Aryan past arm has the story.
I feel compelled to speak because I'm the highest ranking
Jewish elected official in America.
King of the Jews, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on
Wednesday addressing the rise in anti semitism in the US. I
couldn't
Adam Curry: resist I'm sorry. That nobody said it's literally
what he's not literally but that's what he's saying.
Unknown: In the two weeks after the attacks by Hamas, the anti
Defamation League reports and almost 400% increase in anti
semitic incidents over the same period last year. Schumer says
he sees a stark contrast in the ways Jewish and non Jewish
people react to that increase to us.
The Jewish people, the rise of anti semitism is a crisis. A
five alarm fire no, that must be extinguished
Adam Curry: five alarm
Unknown: or he says that's because many American Jews have
family members who suffered persecution firsthand. And
they're now worried that history is repeating itself. The
majority leader also said anti Israel protesters often argue
that Israel displaced 700,000 Palestinians. But he said those
same people never talk about the 600,000 Jews who are displaced
from Arab countries. Schumer concluded with three appeals to
the American people learn the history of the Jewish people
reject anti semitic double standards, and understand why
Jews defend Israel. At the same time lawmakers in the house are
investigating Harvard, the MIT and the University of
Pennsylvania. Wow, that's over allegations of anti semitism on
their campuses. Because of that the presidents of those three
schools will testify before a House committee on a
congressional hearing next week. Oh,
goody, goody,
Adam Curry: yeah, we get Jew hate in Congress. This is gonna
be fun. It's gonna be great. So Harvard and MIT now to the Oh
man, this is this. Oh, wow. Oh, this is
John C Dvorak: going to have this clip. And I got one more
which is the University of California they're going.
Unknown: At the same time the Department of Education is
opening an investigation into Harvard. That's to find out
whether Harvard failed to respond to a letter harassment
of students based on their national origin. However, the
office made clear that it has so far found no evidence of
wrongdoing.
Adam Curry: Yeah. And remember, the Department of Education is
also a human rights division of the government. Yeah, they're
John C Dvorak: quite hilarious. I don't know what these schools
are going to do because they were the ones. They're the ones
who created the situation at the behest of the Democrat party.
Yes. Let's be honest about it. And the whole thing is now
backfired on him.
Adam Curry: It's, it's like it is. It's Biblical. It's so good.
John C Dvorak: It's hilarious because UC Berkeley sued This is
the said the end of the day, there was a lead into this, but
let's go right into the clip.
Unknown: UC Berkeley and the UC system are accused of letting
anti semitism go unchecked on Jewish advocacy organizations
allege that student groups prohibit speakers who support a
Jewish state, and TDs David Lam speaks with the attorney who's
suing the university Ken mark
is chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis center and former
assistant secretary of education for civil rights. Thank you for
joining us. Your nonprofit organization is suing UC
Berkeley and the UC system, claiming that it has long
standing unchecked anti semitism on campus. So how did this
start?
We take no pleasure in bringing the lawsuit, we would prefer
that they simply comply with their legal requirements. This
lawsuit is about the failure of the University of California to
address anti semitism on its campus, certainly over the last
a year and a half. Hold
Adam Curry: on a second, I need to ask a question. This being
the United States of America, where we have a First Amendment
is anti semitism is that illegal in America? anti semitic speech.
John C Dvorak: Don't s insofar as speech is concerned that it
may not be illegal that based on the First Amendment, but that's
but these schools are signed on to certain provisions, you know,
certain standards that they have to follow. And one of them is
don't be, you know,
Adam Curry: not bigoted not be against Joe. I'm
John C Dvorak: not be bigoted, but but the thing that Cal
they've keep isolating in these statements is that there's some
there's a Zionist one or two Zionist organizations on the
campus, you know, when they have meetings and give speeches, they
will lead them. And so that is like,
Adam Curry: that's exclusionary, and that and that seclusion
there. And that goes, okay. All right, that I got you. Okay. But
as just a small aside, when it was Milo, when it was Ben
Shapiro, or whoever wanted to go speak at a at a university
campus, and they were forbidden to do that. We didn't hear
John C Dvorak: this part of this. By the way, I think this
guy when he says, a long standing history, I think that
will be included. Oh, interesting, because the miles
and Shapiro thing, and I think there was a couple other people,
Coulter, Coulter. There too, and they were shattered, rounded off
the campus and to burn down part of the ASU C building. And in
the process, I think it's mostly the outsiders, but it's beside
the point. They have this issue, and they have to solve it. And
so they're getting sued. Hey,
Unknown: yeah, certainly over the last a year and a half,
starting with the decision by nine, nine student organizations
to exclude Zinus from speaking on any topic whatsoever before
their organization.
And I understand that you receive many complaints from
students. So what are the students saying,
we're hearing from students around the country Jewish
students are afraid now because they are feeling such an immense
amount of hate since the Hamas atrocities of October 7. Now
think about that. In the wake of these atrocities in which Jewish
Israelis were tortured, burned alive, in some cases rate
murdered their court, in the wake of that, a groundswell of
support for their perpetrators. The Berkeley situation is in one
sense, typical or representative of what we're hearing all around
the country, but it is also one of the worst. One
John C Dvorak: of the worst we're number
Adam Curry: one finger number one baby this kind of reminds me
this this whole first amendment bit went with a friend of mine
went to visit the Pacific War Museum. He's been here for eight
years has never been I said, that's an outrage. You gotta go
it's a great museum, because Admiral Nimitz is from
Fredericksburg, Texas, and they have a great I mean, it's a very
detailed Nimitz was some Frederick's Yeah, he's a famous
son. He's the famous son of Fredericksburg. Wow. So they
have the Nimitz Museum, the Pacific War Museum. And you
know, my grandfather Renwick Eugene Curry was Lieutenant
Commander and bass commander at Quadra Alene in the Marshall
Islands. So it was it was and they have a whole martial line.
This isn't so much we don't do when you think about World War
Two I think is Hitler Jews, Hiroshima, boom, that's it.
There was a lot more going on and a lot more and something
that really and they did a good job of this at the exhibit is
there was a term that I think it was President Roosevelt is that
right thing was Roosevelt. And it was loose lips sink ships.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, loose lips sink ships is a lot of posters
you can get that have that saying, well,
Adam Curry: there were restrictions on speech. At that
time, you were there were absolute restrictions placed by
the government on speech and it's just, it kind of hit me
like how easy we are, you know, especially when you see Rosie
the Riveter man, all this whole this incredible nationalistic,
Patriot patriotic propaganda, how people how easily people
give up their right to free speech. The ends this is it's
bound to happen over and over and over again. And also, I have
to say, what a senseless bunch of crap that whole thing was
young men killing each other in the water and in the air. Oh, my
God, the whole thing just did you. I mean, this bombing of
Tokyo. No one ever told you about that crap out of hundreds
of 1000s of civilians died. Yeah, they just kept bombing for
months, anyway.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. And the thought was, of course, we as a
few incendiary bombs are good because Tokyo is built on the
housing in Tokyo was you know, still is rubber race, rice,
paper, rice, paper and light wood. Yeah.
Adam Curry: That that museum will give you a little different
sense of what went on there. Anyway, my point being, that we
as Americans are so susceptible to agreeing to restrictions by
the government on our speech, which is just illegal and wrong.
And that's not what we're built on. You have the right to talk
like a Nazi in America has fine. You know, that's, you got that?
Right. If that's what you want. The ACLU used to defend that,
that's all over now. It hosts Taser over and it's really the
best way because then you can just stand there and laugh at
them. That's great. But no. I have a was, I don't think I have
anything else other than it's just all bad for Joe. And so
we're distracting. We've got a lot of you know, we're changing
the narrative to Oh, no, no, these days, all the students,
that it's not just students, it's this Antifa there's all
kinds of rainbow people in there. And they're all just
against whatever they're supposed to be against. Not a
single word about the 100,000 who die of opioids. Not nothing
about the Uyghurs nothing about anything that's happening in
Africa. How about the fact
John C Dvorak: that you have one Africa clip where you can play
Why is anyone saying anything about this? This isn't even
being played because it's not
Adam Curry: the new new thing. The UN
Unknown: says 450,000 people have been displaced in eastern
Democratic Republic in the last six weeks, is blaming recent
violence between armed groups and government forces in North
Kivu province. The UN Refugee Agency says is monitoring the
situation after 3000 human rights violations were reported
last month. That's nearly double the figure from September
Adam Curry: no one cares.
John C Dvorak: Where's yours?
Adam Curry: They're not the same level. Even
John C Dvorak: our producers listeners don't don't care about
Africa.
Adam Curry: It's they tune out on another Africa made
John C Dvorak: that clip as short as I could. Good
Adam Curry: work. Everyone's still here. Okay. Oh, we can't
talk about Africa. That will be no good. Now, that came across a
26 minute video of the homeless in Austin. It's heartbreaking.
It's just heartbreaking. Downtown right near the hotels.
Everyone's part living it up. And there's just 1000s of
homeless people. And just like San Francisco, I'll just step
over them. Don't worry. We're with Google. We
John C Dvorak: were we moved ours.
Adam Curry: Now. You guys did a good job.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we moved them to LA where they belong.
Adam Curry: I want to go back to AI for just a second because
there was something else that that was that popped up on CTN.
That's Canadian television. And, you know, so whatever Elon is
doing, you know, thank you Elon. Thank you. Ai danger has been
set in motion the regulations because of you. We appreciate
that. But Jen easterly is our representative from Sissa. The
what does it come computer side or infrastructure security
administration. We're also or I should say, are very involved
with protecting our elections. Because why do it on paper? And
she shows up,
John C Dvorak: heaven forbid someone actually put a checkmark
on paper now. We can actually audited but we can't even audit
the Pentagon, let alone audit or own election. sleaze
Adam Curry: stop. Yeah. So so she shows up. And her whole job
here is to talk about I guess she's doing the rounds, and no
one cares about it, because Ilan is out there. And she's, this is
starting to not like her a lot. But she's also full of crap.
Easterly,
Unknown: good to meet you. I'll start with you. I thought maybe
it would be helpful for the audience. Before we get into the
solutions proposed. If each of you could reflect on this
threat, as you see posed by AI. Yeah, this is truly so I think
we have to understand that AI is a form of information
technology, and the short history of information
technology is frankly, insecurity. And so you think
back to the internet, it was never created to be secure.
Adam Curry: I love think back, think back, John, to the
creation of the internet, it was never created to be secure. So
Unknown: ultimately, it's all been about speed to market and
features and driving down costs for competition. And really
where it's led us is an internet that's full of malware software
that's full of vulnerabilities where social media Internet
Adam Curry: has resulted in software that's full of
vulnerabilities. This is great
Unknown: vulnerabilities, social media that's full of
misinformation and disinformation. And now this
next generation of AI, we have to make sure that it does not
have the vulnerabilities that frankly, have led to ransomware
attacks across all critical infrastructure and businesses
large and small. And
Adam Curry: wait a minute. So crappy AI has led to ransomware
attacks. That's what she just said,
John C Dvorak: Did she I didn't hear her say that giant here
I'll tell you the problem. Whoever she is she's chiefs,
patterns, rap, rap, rapid fires or remarks and I kind of zone
out I didn't I missed it. I was must have been hypnotized stay
with
Unknown: it abilities that, frankly, have led
Adam Curry: to roll back a little further.
Unknown: We have to make sure that it does not have the
vulnerabilities that frankly have led to ransomware attacks
across all critical infrastructure and businesses
large and small. Oh,
Adam Curry: no, she didn't say that. She said that just the
Internet. The Internet itself is that
John C Dvorak: you know, what she said was vulnerabilities
like the kind of the internet that led to this Yes, it will
happen with AI because we're not checking it for vulnerability.
Yes, right.
Unknown: And trillions of dollars lost to global
cybercrime. So the stakes are very high when you think about
the power and the speed and the unpredictability of these tools.
So it really is significant that governments came together 18
governments 23 agencies, along with 20 companies of industry
that provided substantive feedback to lay out these
guidelines and guardrails
Adam Curry: guardrails. Now, if we don't take care of this, what
will the future be like? Jan,
Unknown: last question to you I think so much of this sounds
very technical, I think even to myself, I'm wondering if you can
John C Dvorak: hold on
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm holding on.
John C Dvorak: I heard absolutely nothing that seemed
quote unquote, very technical.
Unknown: Last question to you. I think so much of this sounds
very technical. I think even to myself. I'm wondering if you can
impart on Canadians watching tonight. What a scenario you're
trying to stop looks like like what what is it in tangible
layman's terms that
you're trying to prevent from happening? Yeah, yeah, to think
of AI is just a form of software. And we know that
software was never created to be safe and secure. Is
Adam Curry: that true? John C. Dvorak long term columnist and
reporter on technology. Not
John C Dvorak: that I know of it's it's actually they try to
sell it as very, very secure. forbid they sell it as junk that
it is
Unknown: not software. And we know that software was never
created to be safe and secure we
John C Dvorak: all know is created to be safe and secure.
Adam Curry: We all know it was never created to be safe always
John C Dvorak: created. Who is this woman? She couldn't
probably coded. A go to loop. I
Adam Curry: have a clue. She's friends with Kara Swisher
Unknown: software. And we know that software was never created
to be safe and secure. It's why we have ransomware attacks.
That's why we have data theft.
Adam Curry: No, Windows is why We have ransomware attacks
windows, specifically Microsoft
Unknown: arm. It's why we have disruptions on things like
pipelines. It's why our energy grids are vulnerable. So you are
John C Dvorak: Yes. That's why we Yes, this because of Windows
again, you gotta backup all of that to clip but okay, Jen, who
is this person? Jen
Adam Curry: easterly. Jen eastwell. I'm going to look her
up.
John C Dvorak: Who's someone you hate? Well, you said you learn
gay.
Adam Curry: I'm learning. I'm learning not to love. People
pod. Jen. Jen easterly. Let me give you that from the wiki is
an American intelligence and former military official who was
serving as the Director of cybersecurity and infrastructure
security agency in the Biden administration. Bro raised in
Potomac, Maryland, spook went to the United States Military
Academy Pembroke College, Oxford Rhodes Scholar, says globalist
and
John C Dvorak: she says globalist spoke and just like
she just, she probably never cut it as a spook, it seems to me
she doesn't get the chops,
Adam Curry: but she's in charge of guardrails and in charge of
the electric
John C Dvorak: rail, will let it be in charge. That means nothing
will happen
Unknown: fast. It's why we have disruptions on things like
pipelines, it's why our energy grids are vulnerable. So you can
think about AI as the most powerful technology of frankly,
that we've ever seen. Use, oh, nefarious actors, to use them
for offensive cyber purposes to destroy our critical
infrastructure, our water systems, our energy systems, our
financial systems, you can think about using them to create
biological weapons, chemical weapons. So we really believe
that governments and industry are working together to mitigate
the risk of these capabilities being used for nefarious.
Adam Curry: So she specifically mentioned water systems. So I
presume that this report will tell us that it is AI that is
doing this we begin with security
Unknown: concerns here at home stemming from the war in the
Middle East. A computer
hacking group with ties to Iran has reportedly targeted a water
supply system in Pennsylvania. And the group claims this is
just the beginning just the beginning. They're using AI this
morning, a cyber group backed by Iran is taking credit for
breaching a water treatment plant in Pennsylvania.
Their ability to infiltrate into industrial control systems and
possibly disrupt or worse, cause damage to our infrastructure is
very, very concerning. According
to the Beaver County. The Municipal Water Authority and
Aliquippa says hackers partially took control of a substation
Saturday, shutting down a pump that supplies drinking water in
Beaver County, a message appeared on a pump reading you
have been hacked. Every equipment made in Israel is
cyber Avengers legal target. Water pressure in some areas was
reportedly affected before workers enabled a backup system.
The Cyber Avengers hacking group is also accused of targeting 10
water treatment plants in Israel since the war against Hamas
began the cyber
ventures or hacking collective that is associated with Iran.
They also are supportive of Palestine and ever since the
conflict began, we have seen them proactively targeting
anything associated with Israel.
Experts say the cyber Avengers group is becoming increasingly
sophisticated federal authorities reportedly believe
the group successfully hacked for water treatment plants on
the East Coast in recent days. All of them use software
developed by an Israeli owned company. This group has
expressed that this is just the beginning. And we should be
vigilant that future attacks might occur where they see
opportunities.
So Pennsylvania State Police say they are using a team of
computer experts to investigate the hack.
Adam Curry: Hope it's that sis a lady.
John C Dvorak: She'll figure telling you first of all, why is
a water pump in Pennsylvania connected to the internet
internet in any way.
Adam Curry: So because this admin wants to do it from home?
Exactly.
John C Dvorak: We want to monitor the pumps from home.
Take these things off the net and you won't have any problems
at all. I just love Why does local water supply company
hooked their pumps to the internet? It makes no sense.
It's stupid.
Adam Curry: Back to AI I just want to remind everybody why AI
is is not real. It's not true. It's not working. It's bogus
because I will not believe in AI until it fixes my email spam.
Why isn't someone creating a large language model to do that
email
John C Dvorak: spam nothing What about the stupid phone calls I
get from Steven bengalese guy named Steven, who's asking me if
I want to get better cable service or if I want to get a
new deal if I want to take a discount on my Submariner, and
it's all bull crap. Why is that? Could Why isn't that track down?
This is causing the American public billions of dollars? just
wasted time picking up the stupid calls from Steven?
Adam Curry: Well, I think we need to kill Steven, that may be
easier. Just get rid of that guy. I'm just saying Google is
the premier source of email for most people in the Western
world. Maybe their Incidentally, I think Apple also has has a lot
of people. There's still some AOL people out there. Why don't
they make it so that your email only shows you what you want
really shows you the things that are important to you. You know,
they just willy nilly filter stuff into promotions.
John C Dvorak: Great, shooting our newsletter, half the time
where they let real spam come through
Adam Curry: it until that time when Google always reliably
delivers you the no agenda newsletter to a steward to the
top of your list and says important, important important
and doesn't file it away. AI is bogus.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm not gonna argue that point. Yeah,
where's the AI? Bit showing shown to be useful except for
cranking out mediocre art?
Adam Curry: Yeah, or riding the advertorials for Sports
Illustrated. That was pretty
John C Dvorak: fun. Sports Illustrated.
Adam Curry: The best so, you know, but it wasn't even there
just buying this from a company that is delivering advertorial
content. You know, it's it's totally oh, by the way, oh, my
goodness. first sighting of the season, first sighting of the
season, what do we what do we expect every single Christmas
time? Come on? Well,
John C Dvorak: we get the the shopper who buys the gifts for
everybody in the store. Christmas
Unknown: spirit is alive and well. In Melbourne, a Secret
Santa came into Kmart Richmond store on Saturday and paid off
all the labor. The $200 Barbie house and an $89 Barbie Dream
came out hasn't revealed how much the Good Samaritan spent or
how many customers benefited from the gesture. Just as good
when
we see that Australians are still prepared to help others in
need. Even though they don't know who they are. They're not
family or friends but just random acts of kindness. It's
it's great.
Pricey Where were you? And you
work this out. Now
John C Dvorak: this this brother right this is a they should ban
these stories and point out these are bogus stories. It
probably not even true. Let alone permit. It's already after
the fact. So what difference does it make anyone who wants to
get a free doll doll or or toy from Walmart is nonsense. Every
year. This is
Adam Curry: a triple whammy. First of all, as you it well,
I'll get back to the to the third of the Whammies. But here
we have the typical. We we know that this is done over and over
again Secret Santa, and they're always promoting Walmart or
Walgreens or target. It's always a big box store. It's a known
promotion. This time it's Australia that can you Oh, there
they are. 12 hours ahead of us are the first ones to come out
with it. But they did not inform the old coot on the news team.
Everybody's in on it. Everybody except for the old guy. And I
don't know what this old guy does at this news desk. But he's
you know, and they and they, they they involve him by saying
Where were you old guy? What Where did you do this? You all
your old adorable coot. And the old guy does not follow the
script because they forgot to give it to him. And you
Unknown: work this out. Why? Why would someone do that? What do
you mean? Why would they? Why would you do that? What's the
Christmas to help people out? Yeah, maybe? It just It puzzles
me. They came here we did it themselves. No, no.
You think that? Well,
no, I'm just puzzled as to why this would happen. If they did
that. Wouldn't they just say we've forgiven the labor
theory it could be anyone it could stuff on labeling. Not
everyone's gonna go back to the
Adam Curry: show. Then they accused him of being you know,
britch and he has a private jet. But listen to what he says,
well, didn't Kmart just do this themselves? And one of the guys
if you listen carefully, actually says Why would we do
that?
Unknown: And you would miss out. Why? Why would someone do that?
Adam Curry: First Why would someone do it? Why don't you
understand this an ad old dude?
Unknown: Why? Why would someone do that? What do you mean why
would they why would you do that? What's the Christmas to
help people out? Maybe it just It puzzles me you wouldn't do it
themselves
Adam Curry: don't you can hear the the one of the guys in the
panel says Why do you say we would do that? No, no. But now
that's the second part of the triple whammy. The real joke is
and of course you don't have the images. They they show the
store. They show a guy at the I guess the layaway desk, bringing
out two articles and placing them right in front of the
camera. Listen again to who's really paying for this ad.
Christmas
Unknown: spirit is alive and well. In Melbourne, a Secret
Santa came into came out to Richmond store on Saturday and
paid off all the labor. Among the items $200 Barbie house and
an $89 Barbie Dream. It's
Adam Curry: a Barbie ad.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Mattel, Mattel
Adam Curry: and they place vintage $200 $80 for this and
they haven't right there. To price. Yes, it's a bit Mattel ad
people
John C Dvorak: get with it. It did a whole movie. That's an ad
and people flocked to it.
Adam Curry: I gotta hand it to Mattel. There were only a
John C Dvorak: new marketing person at Mattel doing they were
almost dead.
Adam Curry: 10 years ago, remember that? They were like
the short of the century. They were they were dead. And boom,
there it is shorter than they were Oh man. It's just so
beautiful. So beautiful.
John C Dvorak: It'll tell you this sort of thing. I got a
native ad. Oh, good. This native ad wouldn't have called here.
Would it be native ad? They probably wouldn't be that I
don't see it.
Adam Curry: I see Nikki Haley,
John C Dvorak: and Nikki. Here it is big. Oh, sorry. Let me set
this up. Pop start. My favorite start is on the Today show. It's
a little segment that Carson Daly comes out. He does. It's
called Pop start. And it's all native ads. And so and it's
really pathetic, because it's really, I mean, it's pathetic.
Because they plug one thing after another they're coming out
I left this the end of the coming out of a new single by
the what's the name of the singer this married to the other
but the famous black singer and singer. I need a little more to
work with. She's married to the britches black singer in the
world. A Jay? Jay I see I think is JLo
Adam Curry: JLo. She's She's Latina, Latinx, whoever,
whatever
John C Dvorak: she is she but she got a new signal is the
greatest thing ever in their UI. And I go over it. And so they go
to the next thing. And then they go into this, this product.
You're talking about Beyonce, Beyonce. And so that doesn't
matter. Because they're going into the real native ad.
Adam Curry: Yes, I'm sorry. I'll be quiet.
John C Dvorak: They're going into this ad for a bagel that's
got beer in the dough and their mail order bagel. So they're
going on and on about this bagel and it is a plug for the bagel
company which is a pop up bagel. And you get to listen to Al
Roker two times say I love pop up bagels. I love Papa he does
it twice for me.
Adam Curry: What are what are pop up bagels
John C Dvorak: What are its a bagel pop up store that crops up
in New York I
Adam Curry: guess what is called a bagel it's called the bagel
pop up Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I guess I'm familiar with it. Oh, but they
the way they really annoying This is the worst kind of native
ad you'll ever hear.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well let's let's practice John. We can get
one of these ready
Unknown: want to see what's happening in there? Kalos Center
released a single called can't get enough in January. You are
Adam Curry: right it's JLo I take it all back the album
release
Unknown: and film debut on Prime Video February 16 Steamy stuff
holiday Lopez. Finally stuff you know we love a good food
collaboration Popstar we've you know we've covered to last John
Adam Curry: How much do you love a good food collaboration with
your favorite Popstar nothing like a holiday
Unknown: finally, you know we love a good food collaboration
pop star we've you know we've covered to last us ice cream you
just did the McDonald's crocs recently well now Blue Moons
bagels that's right Blue Moon and New York's beloved pop up
they love pop up bagels are teaming up and infusing real
beer into this beautiful breakfast bread. orange cream
cheese did
you manage mimics? Yes I did. This is happening. Salt bagels.
It's true. I have a bagel. Dip it in one of these. Orange Yeah,
sure, but it's just I wanted to get your other one this spread
Savannah has in the bagel. I bring bagels and beer. I love
this. I love crunchy outside soft. Much like you. There's no
alcohol in the beer. I mean in the ones you know, there was a
towel bagel, salted plain everything ordered nationwide
shipping starts today at noon. If you're interested to have
this feast, you can do that noon Eastern time.
Adam Curry: Got it? Oh, my word.
John C Dvorak: This is what TVs come to. Well, I
Adam Curry: can I can not as funny. But I can show you it's
even worse than that. By the way, people will say, Man, Linda
Lou Patton's doing a native ad. Well, I don't think so. I love
Linda Lou Pak and no, yeah, she has great job search needs.
Police Police people know this. Now you alluded to some of this
and it's not the first clip I'm going to play. But the native ad
is in full effect for deskbound Manjaro, which is the you know,
the new weight loss version of Manjaro. Manjaro is the diabetes
weight loss drug, which is for diabetics, but it helps you lose
weight and death bound, which I think is called Zip bound. But
death bound as we call it is you know there is native advertising
everywhere. But this is a huge shift in lots of different
businesses. And we're going to get to the ultimate outcome of
what needs to happen and what I think everyone is really pining
over. But one of the companies that clearly needs to room
correct themselves is Weight Watchers. Because for years
Weight Watchers told people it was your it was you you you have
no self control.
John C Dvorak: You ate too damn much food.
Adam Curry: You have no portion control. Well, now we know
thanks to Big Pharma and incessant lying, that people who
are overweight it's not. It's not you. It's a medical
condition. It's a disease. This disease. It's not the horrible
crap foods you're eating. It's not the portions you're eating.
Man. When I was growing up in the Netherlands, the Dutch
people would always go you Americans. You have big gulp
Vata is dead sheep, man. No wonder you're fat. Yeah, we're
drinking big gallons of sugary water. But that's not the
problem. It's a disease. So Weight Watchers hired CNN. And
they did a beautiful advertorial. I tightened it up
to like a buck 40 5am They long was it God was three minutes. It
was it was expensive, expensive CNN BUSINESS, a CNN BUSINESS
cheap CNN business? I don't think anyone watches this. But
yeah,
John C Dvorak: so they probably could have gone 10 minutes
because they have a relatively new
Adam Curry: CEO. And she is sorry.
Unknown: But in 2023, another huge shift led by CEO Seema
Stani. Weight Watchers jumped into the booming prescription
weight loss drug business acknowledging that for some diet
and exercise aren't enough,
though I want to be the first to say I'm sorry. And we know
better now, we will do better. Now. For many who are living
with obesity. It's a chronic condition. And therefore it is
not a choice. We needed to be the first to be proud and loud
of notice the piano. Oh, the fact that we got it wrong. In
the past, we've been treating these medications like it's a
vanity. And it's not it's lifesaving.
In some ways it's sort of make or break for the business too,
though, right? Because this is sort of the direction this
industry is going without.
John C Dvorak: This is disgusting.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Especially with the piano music on a news
item. Suppose Yeah, piano
John C Dvorak: music going to news items kind of a giveaway as
a native ad. But this is disgusting. So basically, there
were higher their entire modus operandi, which is to get people
to eat less food or eat then or dead switch over and completely
eating their crummy food as a part of a lifestyle change.
They've just given up on it. No,
Adam Curry: no, no. I know what they we talked about what the
change they made, but this is them selling the change. It'll
come at the
Unknown: end past we've been treating these medications like
it's a vanity. And it's not. It's lifesaving. In some
ways it's sort of make or break for the business too, though,
right? Because this is sort of the direction this industry is
going with or without Weight Watchers.
I would say that's true. I would say that's true. And I think
that people who are deniers about the fact that obesity is a
chronic condition, our
Adam Curry: fat deniers, John, don't you dare deny that this is
a chronic medical condition. You are a denier. If you say they're
going to be
Unknown: left behind,
we watch response sequence a $99 a month telehealth subscription
service that connects patients to doctors who can prescribe
weight loss and diabetes drugs.
It's incredibly important to communicate the risks. And
that's why the training in obesity care management is is
really important. Also the lifestyle interventions that
need to be done alongside the medications,
why should somebody come to weightwatchers for these kinds
of prescription weight loss drugs instead of just going to
their doctor? Well, they can absolutely
go to their doctor. But I think that what we can provide is a
higher support solution. Many doctors don't have training in
nutrition, obesity care management, and nor do they have
the support system to basically help throughout the journey. How
do you avoid having to rebrand the company every couple of
years as people talk about weight loss differently,
I think of it less as rebranding and more that we shouldn't be
changing. We shouldn't be evolving. You can't be around
for 60 years and still be the same thing. Our whole world has
shifted
Adam Curry: Yeah, as they are now in obesity care management
and why go to a doctor when you can get a higher support
solution. I mean, seriously,
John C Dvorak: why go to the doctor who is any good will or
she is any good? They'll say what do you nuts? Stop eating?
Stop eating your fat pig. You're
Adam Curry: a denier. You're a denier so now we have the best
way to to position yourself as a company well there's the best
way used to be give yourself an award you create an award show
give yourself the award is not what the Archer Daniels Midland
award whatever the know what's that award? You can buy
something called like
John C Dvorak: most of the awards you have to pay for to
enter Yeah. And then to buy it though. kind of tease you with
the award. But you got to get more money. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I forget. Right. Come on. What's the thing that
they always have the air? Oh, JD Power. Thank you. Troll room.
John C Dvorak: Oh, JD Power JD Power.
Adam Curry: Give me a big company
John C Dvorak: has made billions I know untoward? We're stupid.
But we'll get to that. And so I've been trying to diagnose but
you refuse you
Adam Curry: refuse because I'm too honest.
John C Dvorak: You're just refuse you hate it. So
Adam Curry: Manjaro does the study of their own drug. That's
usually how you get it approved anyway, so we might as well put
it into some running through chat. GBT turn it into a press
release. And there's a reason for this. They are they are all
angling for one single thing. We'll listen to the native ad
that is running on NBC. I do a new report on two popular weight
loss drugs
Unknown: Manjaro and ozempic. For the first
time researchers looked at real world data on the two
medications
Adam Curry: real world data W.
Unknown: Comparing how much weight people lost in them and
get this one came out way ahead.
Adam Curry: BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT CHRISTINE ROMANS,
one came way, way ahead.
John C Dvorak: We're the one who paid us now
Unknown: with more on this intriguing the one who did the
study headline. Christine. Good morning. Good morning.
John C Dvorak: Before he played the end of this, on this same
show that you pulled this clip. Was there any mention of the
450,000 Africans that were that are now homeless and roaming as
refugees? There's even one mention of it.
Adam Curry: Well, if they were fat, they would be but that's
the problem. They're not eating. They don't have this disease.
Unknown: There's now with more on this intriguing headline
Christina. Good morning.
Good morning to both of you. You know this is a hot topic for
sure. These hot,
Adam Curry: hot topic for sure Hot Topic class of
Unknown: drugs very exciting. According to the NIH, more than
two out of every five adults in this country suffer from
obesity. And we know from clinical trials that ozempic and
Manjaro they work really well to help people lose weight but now
a new analysis finds one of those drugs is the clear winner
in getting results. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Oh, we play this clip on the last show.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, no, no, this this is new. This is new
information. Man. This is brand new. This is great. And man
Gerald can help decrease how much food you eat.
Unknown: There are two of the most popular weapons in the
battle against obesity,
Adam Curry: weapons weapons. This is a war a war against fat.
Unknown: Now a new report suggests one of these
blockbuster drugs is far more effective in helping people
slimmed down. The analysis looked at real world data from
about 18,000 overweight adults using Manjaro or ozempic over a
year, it found those taking Manjaro were three times more
likely to lose 15% of their body weight than those others Empik
and more than two and a half times more likely to Lose 10% of
their body weight. Well,
Adam Curry: I know which one I'm choosing. Well, not
Unknown: a peer reviewed study this echoes previous research.
Adam Curry: Well, not a peer reviewed study, which was you
know, when it came to ivermectin, it's not peer
reviewed. This is just a conspiracy theory. This has been
debunked many times over and more
Unknown: than two and a half times more likely to lose 10% of
their body weight through the mouth people. Well, not a peer
reviewed study. This echoes previous research that found
Manjaro more effective than ozempic in helping some people
with weight loss. Both drugs are taken through weekly injections,
and are FDA approved only for type two diabetes, not weight
loss. I've lost 17 pounds and eight weeks, but demand is
soaring as more patients use them off label to shed unwanted
pounds. Doctors say they work by mimicking hormones in the gut
tied to appetite.
The major difference between the two medications is that Manjaro
is working on two hormones and working on one hormone oh, we're
essentially getting more bang for the buck when you take
majoro after
struggling with obesity her whole life. Tara Rothen Hofer
joined a 200 pounds yes Jarrow. Three years in she says she's
lost more than 200 pounds. Instead of that feeling of
looking towards your next meal while you're still eating the
current meal. You're having more of that feeling of satisfaction
of enjoyment.
You know you have a few bites of something and you feel foolish.
Eli Lilly maker of Manjaro says it'll soon release a version
that's FDA approved for weight loss called Zed bound. In a
statement, the maker of Olympic Novo Nordisk told us their drug
is only meant to treat Type Two Diabetes, it's approved drug for
weight loss called Wigo. V is similar but at a higher dose
than ozempic. experts caution the safety of these drugs is
still unknown and healthy people just want to lose a few pounds.
Who cares. They can have side effects like gastrointestinal
distress, nausea and vomiting. And they only curb hunger while
being used.
For most patients. When you stop the medication, you will regain
roughly two thirds of that weight. This is not a medication
that will reset you for life.
Adam Curry: Okay, and now we get down to what this is really all
about one thing and one thing only. And I guarantee you, the
Biden administration will push this and push and of course, the
executive order whatever they need, they're gonna get this,
this in one place, the most important remember, this is a
disease. This is a debilitating disease. This is ruining
people's lives. This is a horrible thing. And we finally
have a solution. So we need that were on Medicare.
Unknown: So bottom line, Christine, no matter what these
drugs are expensive, how much does insurance cover?
So right now, these are quite expensive. Some of these drugs
are hundreds of dollars a week. Now if you are prescribed for
diabetes, then you may have insurance will cover this and
insurance does cover a lot of people on these drugs. But for
weight loss, specifically, some of these drugs are not covered
by insurance. And one of the wrinkles here, Michael, is that
Medicare way back like 20 years ago in the fen Phen craze,
Congress made that Medicare would not cover weight loss,
because there were so many dramatic scams, so they need to
go back into Medicare starts to cover it for weight loss, then
you'll probably see insurers start to follow we're not there
yet. We are in the early days of this, but this is our story.
It's also an economy story. Because when you can get health
care costs in this country under control, it could be really life
changing and also financially important for the country.
Absolutely. When less people are obese. Exactly.
John C Dvorak: Bullshit is not going to help anybody.
Adam Curry: No, but what they want is that the drug company
companies but Eli Lilly is leading the charge they want
their drivers on Medicare, they want this to be covered by
Medicare so they can pull ahead of the rest of the pack. And be
under a lie. I mean, I'm not a doctor, but come on now. You
know, yeah, you're puking you have stomach issues. The food
noise is gone. And so So yeah, it was we might we gotta get the
Medicare but it changes the lives of the it'll it'll combat
climate change. I'm telling you, we're gonna change
John C Dvorak: his party. I got a bunch of clips called spending
dilemma that might actually touch on this.
Adam Curry: Let me play one last one because this is such a
wonder drug. It's doing more than I mean, we know that people
don't want to drink alcohol. They don't want to snort cocaine
and then
Unknown: this is a conversation I'm really excited that we're
about to have we heard about the benefits of ozempic we talked
about we go we wait what has become weight loss drugs, but
Adam Curry: now oh, now wait a minute we have we're better than
Manjaro there's new information
Unknown: about how information can help women who are going
through menopause. How does it work? And what does it mean for
any woman who leaves approaching that age? Oh me. Yeah,
we are doing a joined now by Dr. Robbins to talk more about this
and this is a conversation I know Charlene, you are really as
we had our meetings in the newsroom, so many points to get
to.
Let me just say this Dr. Alicia Robins. She is a board certified
OBGYN. She is a lifestyle physician. She also has a
medical practice called the LM which specializes in
perimenopause and menopause for women. I've never even heard of
a practice that specializes in this. Oh, this is so exciting,
guys. But first of all, thank you for joining us. And can you
please tell us right off the bat? First of all, who should be
paying attention to this right now? This is not just older
women, right? Talk about that. It's
Adam Curry: not just for older women, no menopause. You gotta
be thinking about it when you're young. Yes, yes. First of all,
hi, everyone. Thank you so much for having me. This is so fun.
It's so fun. It's so fun. I'm getting paid. It's so fun.
Unknown: And I'm so glad that we're bringing attention to
this. So yes, Julian, like you said menopause is
Adam Curry: give us a newborn's getting the more.
Unknown: We're talking about it more thankfully. Finally, I know
that this also applies to women in their 40s which is really the
simplest way of when we say perimenopause, Peri menopause,
is the time in your 40s or even late 30s When your hormones
start to change, and you start transitioning towards menopause,
but it can last a decade. So really, I'm talking about women
in their 40s and 50s should listen to
Adam Curry: this really need to get on this stuff in your 40s
Because you know, you know when you turn 40 And you know stuff
starts to slip and you get a little pudgy. Give me this will
help with your menopause. These people are ghouls. This is evil.
And we need to as you say outlaw advertising of pharmaceutical
products to consider
John C Dvorak: that would include Native Ads. Ah,
Adam Curry: disgusting.
John C Dvorak: Spending dilemma
Adam Curry: lip I give the I I defer the rest of my time to the
gentleman from Berkeley. Spending dilemma. Let me see.
Oh, this looks interesting. Is
Unknown: America heading toward a debt disaster? What is
Congress doing about the nation's increasing
indebtedness? The house discusses the problem one
lawmakers saying the damage will be catastrophic and
irrepairable. Virginia Gibson has more. This is
our generations World War. It's a problem of historic
proportions.
The most important and incredible threat to the
Republicans we know it continued
act inaction will prove disastrous
America's national debt it continues to surge nonstop as
Congress continues borrowing to spend the end result could be
economic calamity for future generations. The House Budget
Committee discussed the urgency of the issue Wednesday,
the only people that can fix this is the United States
Congress. And difficulty United States Congress is going to be
willing to do this is laughable
lawmaker Steve Womack says Congress has done nothing to
address this issue. He says the big problem is that no
politician wants to cut the biggest sources of spending
entitlement programs in particular social security,
health care, Income Security and Medicare cutting these things
will be unpopular with voters. This is
Adam Curry: great. By the way, this is great
John C Dvorak: social security as a separate fund or supposed
to be because if you look at your you get a your check stub,
it shows you the deductions you get your taxes to pick up and
then it has Social Security separate this is supposed to be
kept separate to the fact that they're stealing the Social
Security. In other words, it's just another part of the tax is
unconscionable. And nobody has done anything to stop that.
Adam Curry: You're getting mad about this.
John C Dvorak: No, I'm I'm well, I've been mad about it. Yeah.
It's like it's a scam. And they're taking this money right
now. We're finally at the point it took a long time. But we got
to the point where we're taking in less money than we're
borrowing on a yearly basis is I think 115%
Adam Curry: is what we're recording but not according to
Janet Yellen. By the way. She says that's fake news. Everybody
John C Dvorak: says it except her. They're
Adam Curry: just the best part.
John C Dvorak: She's dealing money left and right and then
that's why it's interesting about they want to add $1,000 to
Medicare, you know, a month to these people to pay for it for
their shots. $1,000 shot which is book bogus. And the other
point is is that if they put in an enforcement agency and
Medicare they could cut the probably the budget in half for
that, do you because there's so much scamming going on?
Adam Curry: Well, this is the biggest scam is this.
John C Dvorak: I mean, it's one it's probably pales by
comparison, but it's continue
Unknown: and politics Didn't need votes to stay in power, the
debt is so high interest payments themselves take up 16%
of spending interest is
crowding out all of our discretionary programs. Interest
is certainly crowding out defense, my colleague on that
subcommittee and I both see that every single day. And it's
certainly happening on the non defense side, one
possible ray of hope, a fiscal commission, we need an
outside group of experts to audit the pension to help us
understand what the Absolute Truth is, the commission
would analyze the economic situation and then provide
recommendations to Congress put
Adam Curry: John and Adam on another waste of money put us on
this, this would be fun we could do we could have fun with this
commission.
John C Dvorak: So they don't want to audit the Pentagon,
which is obviously a source of waste. There's all kinds of
waste going on. This guy's bitching about the fact that our
interest is overtaking the military budget, which is
bloated. I will finish I love
Unknown: it. But fiscal commission may not be the magic
potion as the chairman had said. And it may fail. It may. But we
cannot stop trying
lawmaker Bill who is Inga believes this commission would
be the most practical and immediate way Congress can break
the status quo. unclear how Congress would react to
recommendations from such a commission by
Adam Curry: clutching their pearls. The curry Devora
commission I can see it already John's work will be taken will
be taken private jets around the country. Check everything out.
Yeah, check everything out, you know? Well, it's obvious. It's
obvious where they're gonna get it from. It's from a carbon tax.
That is the global ideal. That's
John C Dvorak: what they're hoping for. You're right.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's it's more than just what they're
hoping for. I mean, they're really starting to push this.
John C Dvorak: But the pot, the pot, where the carbon tax money
goes is going to be the UN. It's not going to go to to the world
go V shots.
Adam Curry: They have a Well, you're right. It's gonna go to
the UN. And they're already setting it up. They have there's
there's even an organization for this. What is this organization
called? It's the the Tax Justice Network put justice in anything
and you're good to go. Yeah, just this
Unknown: last week, country. Justice. I didn't nations voted
for the organization to take a greater role in international
tax matters. The move is perceived as a threat to the
ascendancy of the OECD the body that has led these discussions
for decades, countries that the UN adopted a resolution to begin
the process of establishing a framework convention on tax and
completely change how global tax rules are decided. The
resolution was led primarily by African member states and could
eventually move decision making on global tax rules from the
OECD, a club of developed countries to the UN, yes,
Adam Curry: you're spot on, and it will be moved to the United
Nations. And because Africa is involved with it, that means
it's a carbon tax. And I have the details here I have the
actual numbers from France 24 As climate finance or as we in the
business, a climate finance is on the agenda for cop 28, which
is kicking off
Unknown: climate finance, it's going to be one of the items
that are really at the top of the agenda, the cop 28 at taking
place, of course in the United Arab Emirates, as you said
participants trying to find an agreement on a target to fix and
Shaun Pellegrino is here to tell us more sharp
That's right. This is a huge topic of conversation that
covers many different sectors areas, whether it's clean
energy, investments, or spending on climate resilient
infrastructure. And at COP 21 in Paris in 2015 richer countries
agreed that they should help poor countries that are more
vulnerable to the climate chaos caused by the carbon emissions
of developed economies. Well, the commitment that was agreed
on by these developed countries in successive climate talks was
of $100 billion per year in climate assistance by 2020. But
wait a goal that was missed for several years and that might
finally actually have been reached this year. But the needs
are so much bigger than that number. estimates of how much is
needed by emerging markets and developing countries in order to
keep global warming under the set target of two degrees, while
they're much higher by 20 $31 trillion. will be needed
annually in external
John C Dvorak: what's right what happened to 1.5 degrees Shut
Adam Curry: up
Unknown: tire by 20 $31 trillion will be needed annually.
external assistance and total spending for these countries.
would actually be much higher than that around $2.4 trillion.
Adam Curry: Shut up and listen, because you don't know what
you're talking about. You stupid plebs. They need a trillion
dollars a year, but really $2.7 trillion a year, they're going
to steal it from everybody. And we're going to be living in
cardboard boxes. It's unbelievable that needs we need
to revolt, the revolution. And of course, this is exactly what
Donald Trump is proud former President Trump is saying is not
I gotta I gotta get in here because everyone's crazy.
They've all gone nuts they
John C Dvorak: apparently are if they're gonna pull if they was
buying into this.
Adam Curry: So now that Trump once again is on the scene
talking sense as witnessed by many people who are starting to
say oh well you know, before I continue I have to have to read
this boots on the remember the Amazon engineer who told us that
the rivian deal that Amazon did with all their delivery for with
these rivian pickup trucks that they can have them you know, the
charging station that stuff is blowing up these things are
catching on fire. So listen to this latest update from our
Amazon engineer boots on the ground because of power
generation issues at the power companies. Amazon is now using
diesel power generators to power the vehicle chargers
Oh I love it. That's so good. So Trump is is is this is the one
speech that he did that everyone's up in arms over at
least is being used to clutch pearls This is where he said
these vermin have gotta go which when you listen vermin speech,
when the now known as the heaven forbid you use the word vermin.
Well, it's much worse. Because over there at NPR on the media
my they did a midweek show they have to do a special edition in
between shows, with Brooke, Gladys Gus the word vermin. Oh,
no, not just the word vermin the entire speech. Jeff Charlotte,
who is the author of under tow, seems from a slow civil war has
been around the country. He's been around the country. He has
talked to everybody. And he called him and he comes back and
he lets us know that because of Trump and Trumpism we are in the
midst of a slow civil war. And this is all based upon an
analysis of Trump's vermin speech, also known as the post
indictment speech. And I had people would start clipping this
for me and I'd already clipped it. This is how unhinged
deranged This is from our national treasure known as NPR.
His
Unknown: post indictment speaks last Saturday of a record crowd
here today. So that's represented a turning point in
his rhetoric. He was talking about the final battle which
he's been doing.
This is the final battles. This is the most important election
we've ever had.
But then there was another element to speaking of
Obliteration, he saying, not only is there a risk of world
war three, there will absolutely be World War Three and less I am
returned to power,
I will prevent world war three, I will prevent it. And now
people believe
Adam Curry: this is what I love about this entire analysis. They
put words in his mouth over and over again. He didn't say there
will be World War Three unless I'm returned to power. He didn't
say that absolutely
Unknown: be World War Three. Unless I am returned to power. I
will prevent world war three. I will prevent it and now people
believe he
said the same thing in the speech that just preceded
January 6. He said you lied.
John C Dvorak: So she basically contradicts the basic thesis of
the guy because the guy said things have changed. He's got
new rhetoric. And so she comes out and by the way, he said the
same thing back and I've listened to a lot of his
speeches. I don't listen to much of them anymore. They haven't
changed. He goes up there does a bunch of he does a Buck. Buck 15
Buck 30 of stick hilariously the same interchangeable material
and boom,
Adam Curry: no, no, this is this is something is changed. Now. We
have to be very afraid of this war mongering Jew hater
Unknown: that just preceded January 6. He said you have to
fight as hard as you can or you won't have a country.
Oh no, that's not the same thing. When he means world war
three. He's not talking about not having countries talking
about nuclear obliteration.
This won't be a conventional war with army tanks going back and
forth shooting each other this will be nuclear war. This will
be Obliteration, perhaps obliteration of the Tire world I
will prevent it nobody else can say that
I alone can stop it right which is of course a classic a fascist
rhetoric
John C Dvorak: he didn't say he never said I alone but
Adam Curry: this is how these people hear it this is what's so
fascinating about this is
John C Dvorak: beauty right because this is exactly what
they're hearing and then you talk to the liberals in the
anywhere you are and you're going to they all hear is it's
the dimension thing again they're they're living in a in a
different dimension they're hearing different things yes,
Unknown: it's the Democrats are just gonna fire off a nuke for
no reason.
Adam Curry: So now they've heard that the Democrats are going to
fire off a nuke for no reason
Unknown: yeah, I think that is how it's being heard that we are
very close to me by you clear war with Russia that He alone
can stop it but it's even more abstract than that right so when
he says at the
end of the day are the the communists when destroy America
or we destroy the communists because that's what they are
they may go by a different name. Fascists
Marxists to opens and closes the speech was some kind of classic
anti semitism talking about globalist and Marxist
Adam Curry: I love it. He's a Jew hater. Classic anti Semite
talking about communists and Marxists.
John C Dvorak: So if you bitch about Marxism, you're a Jew
hater. Correct? He's expanding Marx was marked by the way was
an admitted atheist. Okay, let's destroy
Adam Curry: Exactly, exactly but no, no, no, no. This is the new
anti Semite is the face of Jew hate.
Unknown: They are they may go by a different name. Fascists
Marxists to opens and closes the speech was some kind of classic
anti semitism talking about globalists and Marxists. He's
expanded and say globalists ending the potent conspiracism
of anti semitism. So that applies to all of his enemies.
But lest anyone be confused, he doubles down in the middle by
talking about Jack Smith,
the special counsel who indicted him Jack
Smith, what do you think his name used to be? I don't know to
say anybody, Jackson. Sounds so innocent.
What is his original name? What's his real name? It's Jack
Smith. But it couldn't be that sounds so innocent. By which
means it sounds so. All American. Wait.
Adam Curry: Oh, I see. So when you say that, then you're you
can't be one of us. He can't be one of us whities? No, no, no,
no. Let's get back to the juicy stuff.
Unknown: And then at the end, and this was new, right? He
said, We will drive
out to gloveless. We will cast out the communists, we will
throw off the sick political class that hates our country and
wants to destroy our country.
This is a reference to driving out the money changes, Jesus
driving changes. And
Adam Curry: this isn't my favorite. This is a reference to
Jesus driving out the money changers, you know, the Jews.
These people are sick, wow, this is a sickness. This is a real
sick, wants
Unknown: to destroy our country. This
is a reference to driving out the money changes Jesus driving
out the money changes and to make sure you don't miss it. He
refers the speech writer, I should say, refers to both the
Gospel of John and the Gospel of Matthew. The money changers
historically, in anti semitism are understood as the Jews, but
in this moment, it's understood as the enemy and the enemy is
it's Jack Smith. It's whoever is on the other side.
That's interesting rather than cast the Jew as enemy. That's
the tradition. Yeah, here that's already assumed. And so you cast
the enemy, whoever that may be as Jews
Adam Curry: helped me help me understand how they get how they
come to this conclusion.
John C Dvorak: I have no no clue. It weird. Now
Adam Curry: that they're ill This is mental illness, total
mental,
Unknown: that you becomes metaphor. And he's got plausible
deniability because of course, there are enough right wing
Jews. Maybe he's not saying any of it. No Miller, who was
Jewish, wrote that speech for him and has not been shy of
using that language before. So we can say this isn't about Jews
in a way for Trump. It's really not his enemy, daughters Jewish.
So as Miller ever is against him in his power, and then since
he's become proxy, when I go out and I speak to everyday people,
they see him as a martyr. Oh,
Adam Curry: he's a martyr. Now let's talk about martyrs for a
second. Because now we need to take it's not just Trump, but
all the crazy people who are for Trump. Yes, they're really dare
I say racists, they hate black people. Black people are
dangerous to Trump.
Unknown: So you say that Trump has always strived to create
martyrs back in 2017 when he was president. He said that the
wounded GOP Congressman Steve Scalise took a bullet for all of
us when he was shot in the hip by someone who professed to be a
Trump hater. He
Adam Curry: wasn't a Trump hater. I don't think that guy
was a Trump hater, but he was a Republican hater. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: he hated all Republicans. Trump wasn't even
worse. But yeah, yeah, but But Luke Scalise didn't die so he
wasn't martyred no
Unknown: at a congressional baseball practice. But you say
that Ashley Babbitt who was killed as she stormed the US
Capitol on January 6 was quote, processed made productive almost
immediately after her death transformed right away into yet
another flag like a new tarot card in the desert of lash ism
John C Dvorak: was flying out Ashley Babbitt flag now she was
she wasn't killed she was murdered.
Adam Curry: Oh you racist processed
Unknown: made productive almost immediately after her death
transformed right away and talked about it now there. We
John C Dvorak: didn't even lie this is this reporting is some
of the worst I've heard on NPR for
Adam Curry: oh, the course par for the course. We didn't even
know who shot her for I think weeks and weeks took a long time
before we before we knew who shot her and that was and then
we heard it was an agent and you know, it was a long time before
we knew the horrible truth John, he was black
Unknown: processed, made productive almost immediately
after her death transformed right away into yet another flag
like a new tarot card in the deck of fascism where joy macro
John C Dvorak: gasm new taro card in the deck of
Adam Curry: fascism and when listened to watch it now she she
says
John C Dvorak: these guys think they they really think they're
poets poets, sort of poetry babies poetry
Unknown: tarot card in the deck of fascism. Were joined Gadsden,
the coiled snake on yet
Adam Curry: isn't a Gadson?
John C Dvorak: Not gaslit as she says, I think it is gas is gas I
Adam Curry: thought it was Gadson. She Gadson yeah but she
says Gaston. what a what a dope deck
Unknown: of fire. Listen, were joined Gadsden, the coiled snake
on yellow and the blue lives matter flag.
When I saw Ashley Babbitt white woman led a mob climbed up to a
broken window and on Capitol Hill police officer shot her and
killed her as we saw only the hands of the officer and as a
black man and I understood immediately as a student of
merican mythology and history. This is the lynching story.
innocent white womanhood killed by a black man this is this is
the template of Hollywood you go back to the Birth of a Nation
one of the most influential movies of all time. 1915 Based
on a novel called The Klansmen. It's a positive story about the
Ku Klux Klan and white woman flees from a dangerous black man
and jumps over a cliff and dies and thus the Klan must ride to
Avenger Ashley Babbitt was such a productive martyr because
she's wearing an American flag outfit kind of She's the only
woman in this crowd but she's really fierce and tough. She's
also a veteran and I started traveling around the country
watching the myth information who actually bad it was doesn't
matter to them.
Adam Curry: I mean, this is so racist. So
John C Dvorak: oh, I'm gonna use a modern word it's just racist
word it this is the kind of left leaning racism that just
permeates the Democrat Party right now it's just completely
out of control in this this interpretation of one of his
many speeches which are all pretty much the same if you've
seen one you've seen most of them is it's onerous and then
they come up with all this crazy you know, the tarot card in the
deck of fascism and all these other things. It's ridiculous
how can use embarrassed How
Adam Curry: can you have a tarot card in the deck of racism with
the same time you're referring to Jesus kicking out the money
John C Dvorak: Jacob's fascism Yeah.
Adam Curry: So now Now of course, you have to understand
that Ashley Babbitt she's a perfect martyr for this you know
as Hollywood mainly a left leaning outfit there Hollywood
as they created this this beautiful No Oh, no black man
kills white woman horrible. Oh, yes. This is what we hate in
America. Go Trump given all
Unknown: the mythmaking about Ashley. You looked into her life
and what did you find? Oh boy. She documented
her life very extensively. 8000 tweets she made a lot of videos
that's
Adam Curry: documenting your life alright, isn't it the
Twitter that's a documenting of my life?
Unknown: I found someone I think would surprise a lot of people
actually bad A bit from Deep Blue Southern California kind of
a beach person. Votes for Obama twice thinks he's the best
president ever. So
how did she get from there to here? What was the turning dead?
Adam Curry: What do you think the turning point was? How does
she get from there to dead? I mean here, Brooke Gladstone. Oh,
let's find out.
Unknown: She talks about a houseless man in Southern
California. houseless.
Adam Curry: Man. Oh, boy. We can't even say homeless anymore.
He's a houseless man. houseless man houseless. Man, let's not
offend anybody doing this to all renters
John C Dvorak: in the United States are houseless men. That's
Unknown: correct. She talks about a houseless man in
Southern California dedicating on her front lawn and the
compassion she's trying to have in her life. She just says To
hell with it. And Trump is right there with this stuff.
Adam Curry: He was right there on
John C Dvorak: the right do this anti poop message on the
sidewalk
Adam Curry: saying Ashley, Ashley Bobbitt, I want you to be
with me
Unknown: is right there with this story. You know what that
anger you feel? It's not anger. It's love for your country. You
don't have to swim against the current give into the undertow.
Let it take you out. Here's white supremacy is ready to
carry you. And now she's got
John C Dvorak: a lead on the front yard and white supremacy
is all kind of the same thing. If
Adam Curry: you have poop in the front yard, just let White
supremacy carry you away into utopia. This is the point that
it
Unknown: takes you out. Here's white supremacy is ready to
carry you. And now she's got a leader and she's got a
mythology. And it's so easy to go with it. Oh,
John C Dvorak: my God, if you're going to simplify it like that,
I guess it is easy to go with it. Now. I bless you as a
leader. I have the last clip and she has a mythology where you
can never really talks about the mythology and mythology, the
myth Okay, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be interrupting
anymore because I use can never get this thing done. Playing
Adam Curry: this is just 39 seconds and we're over
Unknown: speech Trump gave on Saturday after the indictment.
There's a key moment there where he's talking about cutting taxes
and he gets cheers and then he starts talking about Stop
John C Dvorak: man stop you again. I just want to point out
this this usage of after the indictment after the indictments
just to keep reminding us if you don't remember this, Trump is an
indicted guy. Yes. indicted, which means he's probably
guilty. It must be like a proven innocent speech.
Adam Curry: What are you talking about? Stop that now. Do I need
to play our buddy?
John C Dvorak: John Brennan? Yes. Oh,
Adam Curry: guilty. Whereas it's, I should I should have I
need to put this one. at the ready. Yeah, I need to put
Brennan guilty. Here we go. This is what they really are talking
about.
Unknown: People are innocent until alleged to be involved in
some type of criminal activity.
Adam Curry: That's it. That's the mantra right there. People
are innocent until they're alleged to be involved in some
kind of criminal activity guilty. The speech
Unknown: Trump gave on Saturday after the indictment. There's a
key moment there where he's talking about cutting taxes and
he gets cheers and then he starts talking about what he
calls transgender craziness and he gets huge steps back and I've
seen this moment in so many Trump rallies he steps back. He
says Look at that.
You say I'm talking about cutting taxes. People go like
that. And he minds moderate applause. I talk about
transgender everyone goes crazy. Who would have thought five
years ago you didn't know what the Hold on a
Adam Curry: second. He didn't say transgender craziness. He
said I talk about transgender. Everybody goes crazy. These
people are literally hearing things what he
Unknown: calls transgender craziness and he gets huge two
steps back and I've seen this man, right. So many Trump as he
steps back. He says Look at that. You say I'm talking about
cutting taxes. People go like that, and he minds moderate
applause.
I talked about transgender everyone goes crazy. Who would
have thought five years ago you didn't know what the hell it
was.
This is how Trump uses rallies. He is not a leader. He's riding
this undertow. He is the one saying is this where we're
going? He says five years ago, nobody talked about it. Who
would have thought? Not him? But he'll follow now.
Adam Curry: Your national treasure ladies and gentlemen.
Okay,
John C Dvorak: we'll get a clip of the day for that work.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, thank you. It did take me a little bit of
time. Meanwhile, it must irk these people to no end that Fox
News does stuff like this with the Rhode Island co founder of
Black Lives Matter this
Unknown: day. Because it identifies what I've seen in the
barber shop. All the brothers for some reason right now are
turning ties right now. And I just wonder what is the big
reason?
I think personally, it's the duplicity of the Democrats. The
hypocrisy. We're not stupid. The brothers are not stupid. We
understand when someone's for us and when someone is not. And
it's obvious that the Democratic Party is not for us. policies
actually strike at the heart of the black Family and a nuclear
family. Yeah. So,
you know, you were part of Black Lives Matter. You found it in
there. And now you're saying you're not saying the entire
Republican Party. You're saying Donald Trump. So what is it
about Donald Trump? Is it the economics? You know, that the
black family? What is it gonna take for him to share up this
support among black voters? Well,
I did. I just think that it's going to take information a lot
of people are misinformed. They don't really understand because
they don't educate themselves on on Donald Trump as a person and
his history. But if they do that, and it's gonna take you
know, leaders educated leaders getting the word out there. I
think that it'll happen on its own, and it'll be organic,
because I'm, personally I love them, man. I mean, how could you
not like, red man? How could you not relate to someone like that?
Oh,
Adam Curry: we can't have that. Oh, he's a racist. Don't you
know that?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. That guy's going around. He's seems irked I
want to bring in some Nikki Haley stuff here. Because Nikki
Hey,
Adam Curry: Ron Nimrod, Haley.
John C Dvorak: What's numerati? Naming one that
Adam Curry: was her real name.
John C Dvorak: She's the She's the new op.
Adam Curry: I know. But what's it what's her real name? If you
had it last time? Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. It's gonna make me Nimrod.
Adam Curry: I came up with Nimrod. But I Yeah, Nimrods.
Good. I like Nimrod. We'll just use Nimrod Haley.
John C Dvorak: So she is being promoted by a bunch of rich
guys. Yeah. Koch brothers. In Silicon Valley, Republicans are
back here too.
Adam Curry: I think some oil guys are back in her as well.
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: they're all back in I don't know why. Well, I do
know why is because they don't want Trump Yeah. But she's no
good. Named Murata. Murata,
Adam Curry: Murata. Nimrod, exactly. named Mr. Otto for
sure. Yes. She's the new op.
John C Dvorak: I think she's been that way for us ever since
I started putting money in her favor. And the thing that gets
that you notice, if you watch even Fox, oh, she won the
debate. Somehow she won the debate. Nobody's winning these
debates, but somehow she's coming out ahead and they keep
pushing that and they will look at her numbers are going up.
Adam Curry: This is a pathetic attempt to thwart Trump for
real. It's
John C Dvorak: very pathetic. It's very pathetic. And here's
some examples part one. With a
Unknown: narrower field of candidates in the GOP primary.
We are seeing the remaining candidates picking up major
endorsements endorsement political advocacy group backed
by the Koch brothers recently through their support behind
Nikki Haley. And today at JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon
also said that Haley is the candidate who has the best
chance of unseating GOP front runner, Donald Trump. What do we
make of this? Joining us to discuss is Mike Lyon host of can
we please talk podcast?
Adam Curry: Oh my god, guys. Oh my god. Well, this will change
the tide. We've got a podcast and podcast shows.
John C Dvorak: She brings on a podcaster. Yeah, who doesn't
know anything?
Adam Curry: What Why did they bring him on then?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea PR, they maybe he has a PR
person. We can never get one because the PR people like as
much they hate us because they hate us. And it's what it is.
But so they bring this guy and he's got nothing to say. And
it's actually kind of funny what he says because he's a stooge.
And by the way, the Koch brothers are notorious treatment
of they're mentioned a lot in 2015. And 2016 is a terrible
people. But once they they turned on Trump, they never
liked Donald Trump. No. So they sent him no support whatsoever.
And then the talk of the Koch brothers just disappeared.
Because everyone's fine with them. Okay, here we go. Mike.
Leon,
Unknown: thank you so much for joining us. Great to have you
back on the show. Now, big donors, including the
billionaire Koch brothers are backing Nikki Haley for
presidents. That's the latest push to beat Trump. How do you
read this, especially given the polls?
Yeah, you know, it's so funny that now you're starting to see
folks starting to weigh in and we saw Iowa Governor Reynolds,
back Ron DeSantis. Now we're seeing the donations that are
coming in from the Koch brothers for Nikki Haley. I read it as
similar to last time I was on. I was mentioning about other
debate performances went and I think right now people are
starting to see Nikki Haley's ascension. After these debates I
mentioned to you, Tiffany, I'm going to take a victory lap
about Tim Scott would probably be dropping. And sure enough, he
drops and I think what's happening right now is you're
starting to see even Wow,
Adam Curry: he's got a crystal ball there on that podcast. I
predict him Scott will drop out of the race and
Unknown: take a victory lap about dropping. And sure enough,
he drops and I think what's happening right now is you're
starting to see even before we get to January and the Iowa
primary, you're starting to see a consolidation and I think the
money is starting to move towards Nikki Haley because we
saw a poll in South Carolina trending upwards in her
direction. We've seen her shoot up in mourning console polls,
which registered Republicans is about 4000 or so in those polls.
And she's moving up continually. Now the problem is, is that
they're all chasing the person that's 4050 points ahead of
them. But But legal troubles ahead for the President, we know
that there's going to be trial dates around key campaign dates,
Super Tuesday, for example, the former president could be in
court. And I think right now, what you're seeing is that
donors are starting to realize we have to put our money behind
somebody that we think can not only be Trump in the GOP
primary, but could also be President Biden, in the general
Nikki Haley's campaign has done that in terms of speaking to
moderates, and independents and Latinos and bringing in that
coalition of voters. And I think right now the ear of those
donors, she has caught on because of the messaging because
of the way she's performed in these debates. Debates.
Adam Curry: Well, she,
John C Dvorak: by the way, she's gaining ground in South
Carolina, where she was the governor, you might hope she'd
get some support. Sounds
Adam Curry: to me like some of these special interests and
donors are they're hedging their bets here because they they
don't think Trump can beat the rap. And they want to have a
backup horse.
John C Dvorak: Yep, that she's not going to beat any Democrat
mind. I don't
Adam Curry: think she might not even be Kamala Harris.
John C Dvorak: Yet, would be a great combination to see.
Adam Curry: It'll be great. Oh.
John C Dvorak: Mimi was pitching the other day about hey, you
know, I think things so what are you talking about? This is all
great for the show.
Adam Curry: Really, Mimi?
John C Dvorak: I spent a clue. Lady.
Adam Curry: I saw a picture of Mimi. She looks great. I love
the color of her hair now. She's got kind of interested. Yeah, I
like it. I like it a lot.
John C Dvorak: I do on with the final clip of Nikki Haley.
Expanding
Unknown: on that point. What is Nikki Haley doing right that the
donors are backing her? Well,
I think the biggest thing has been a dehumanizing word. She
has used this a bunch of different times when speaking
about issues that Republicans have been getting hammered on,
in the midterms, specifically around abortion, women's
reproductive rights. She mentioned in the first debate
with Martha McCallum from Fox News. She mentioned it recently
the other debate, I think the other big thing that was telling
somebody this a Republican strategist, this is right now
the US is involved in two wars. And there's a third potentially
looming with respect to whatever China does with Taiwan. We have
Russia, Ukraine, we have what's happening with Israel and Hamas,
even though there's a pause right now in the fighting, and I
think foreign policy wise, Nikki Haley is way above some of these
other candidates, specifically Vivek Ramaswamy. We've seen that
back and forth him had about Vladimir Putin and the way they
would talk to President Xi of China. So I think that's what's
happening right now. foreign policy affects the US economy.
It affects things at home here, even though voters tend to rank
it as lower issues. The billionaire donors know that
President Trump ran on no new wars and being able to navigate
the foreign policy waters. And I think Nikki Haley is carrying
that torch. She was a former ambassador to the UN. And right
now, she has put out the best plan in terms of messaging
around what she would do for our allies involved in these wars
and putting out the fires that could potentially come if China
were to invade Taiwan. That's why I think the money is
shifting towards her. Yeah, he's
John C Dvorak: a big war monger. She's pro Ukraine war.
Adam Curry: Yes. Military Industrial.
John C Dvorak: What is he talking about? The guys that is
full of it. He's part of the scheme.
Adam Curry: Oh, of course.
John C Dvorak: Nikki Haley things getting on my nerves.
Adam Curry: I can tell. I can tell. No, it's Yes, she is a
war.
John C Dvorak: She's a warmonger she's a hawk. McCain Democrat
and you know
Adam Curry: when you think about the Koch brothers they don't
they make stuff for war. I'm
John C Dvorak: sure they make stuff for war their oil company.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the oil guys are behind. We're having dinner
with the oil barons of Texas oil baron. Good. Now we're now
having we're having dinner next Wednesday. Yeah. So I'm going to
talk to him about it because I know that buddies of his and he
may have he may also be a Nicki supporter. I'm gonna ask because
we know that really those guys want a Democrat to win because
that's that's how they that's how they
John C Dvorak: look at the price of Exxon stock if you want some
confirmation Exactly. Although I didn't get into stock soared,
yes.
Adam Curry: Beautiful. It's beautiful. Even though they're
patriotic and they they they're pro America, but Nikki Haley may
just be just what the doctor ordered.
John C Dvorak: Ah, that upside down smile. I think that's what
bothers me the most about her.
Adam Curry: I don't like her. Her. Her look in general. She's
John C Dvorak: got this because she has an upside down smile.
That's like borderlining on a grimace. Yeah. And she's glib if
we horribly glib,
Adam Curry: if we could just be, you know, very superficial for a
moment. And incredibly that's what we do. That's what our
John C Dvorak: show does. She got speakers. That's what they
do in real life. And especially in the executive suites. She got
Adam Curry: saddled back, she shouldn't be wearing jeans where
she should wear a jacket she wears.
John C Dvorak: Part. I didn't get to that I didn't go that
far. But you know, I'm, I'm
Adam Curry: I'm a fashion guy. I know. I'm normally I'm a face.
You're
John C Dvorak: a fat. Yes. Normally, I'm
Adam Curry: a face guy. But yeah, she does not have a
pleasant smile, or just has a scowl kind of.
John C Dvorak: Yes, like borderline scowl. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. But it's gonna, it's gonna resort to
nothing. It's just not gonna it's not gonna work. This I
don't badger these people really believe that? I think it's a
backup. I think it's a backup hedge. And, you know, if Trump
beats the wrap, which I think he will I mean, I don't think any
of these cases will actually happen before the election. Do
you think
John C Dvorak: they're going to try to find something to do to
lock him up? Yeah, literally.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yeah. Well, he can still run for president when
he's locked up candy.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he can probably win. Yeah. And then he
Adam Curry: can pardon himself and good to go.
John C Dvorak: I don't know about that. That's a big issue.
Nobody knows for sure.
Adam Curry: Hey, we'll be good for the show. Who wouldn't
John C Dvorak: do here's the here's the question for the
show. And for the listeners and for the troll room and for the
producers. Who's Trump's vice president? Hmm. Well, I'm pretty
good at predicting these things. Well, but Well,
Adam Curry: here's what I would do if I was him. Nikki Haley.
John C Dvorak: No, she hates Trump. She won't do it. I can't
see this. Another it'd be another bad selection. It's
gonna ask for an assassination. No. Nikki Haley is out.
Adam Curry: I have another option then. Comic Strip
blogger. Alex Jones, anybody? You think he has an idea? Do you
seriously think he has a thought about that? Right. He must, I
guess
John C Dvorak: was somebody must. But I have not heard any
speculation on any of these people like to speculate about
this and that. I've heard nothing. Regard Sara
Adam Curry: Holmes. Vice President Sarah Huckabee.
John C Dvorak: Sarah Huckabee be good except that it would be
like, Oh, look, he's taking a press secretary and making her
vice president where she's also I guess, the governor of
Arkansas. So maybe that's something but Sarah Huckabee be
great
Adam Curry: than the only Vivec actually
John C Dvorak: is calling him now. Calling Sarah Huckabee I
think is a good call. I like that. But she's Of course not
chimed in. I haven't heard anything from the Huckabee camp,
because he's got his own show. The old man does. That could be
a goofball, Vice President.
Adam Curry: What is the what was pants? He was a disc jockey. And
they threw him in there
John C Dvorak: was just a Yeah, they were hedging their bets
with pants hoping for the best and God pens,
Adam Curry: pins. We have quite a lot to talk about in our
donation segment. People decided hey, I want a PhD before this
ends. And and I want to talk a lot about it. Keisha case
John C Dvorak: yes with this is the worst group that they had
last minute Charlie's good last minute. Charlie's This is a new
so they're all last minute Charlie's and they can't because
they decided the very last minute they could have done this
weeks ago. Where does that come at the last minute is a huge
list. Massive and they all are less. So last minute Charlie's
are the most talkative. When they couldn't, we're going to
edit on the fly. Were they done this a week ago or two weeks
ago? We've probably read the whole note.
Adam Curry: Where does this come last? Where does this come from
last minute, Charlie?
John C Dvorak: I gotta go back to the 30s or to cartoon
probably in a comic
Adam Curry: or maybe he's Charlie Chaplin makes Charlie
Chaplin last minute, Charlie. Charlie's last but
John C Dvorak: definitely not Charlie Chaplin.
Adam Curry: But before we do that, we have a couple of
important business things we need to take care of one is the
word of the year. Merriam
Unknown: Webster is keeping it real this year. The dictionary
company says authentic is the word of the year. It's based on
large numbers of searches for the term and its meaning runners
up influenced greatly by news events included deep fake
coordination and indict.
Adam Curry: I wish indicted to indict would have been much
better. It's the word of the year indict. No, it's that is
authentic. What do you think people have been searching for
when they're looking and why do you need a definition of the
word authentic? Are you a moron? That's what they said is based
upon searches for definitely lies. Don't you think? Merriam
Webster lies? And then the last thing which is cropping up and I
think we're going to be hearing more of the this and it that
came through a kind of a roundabout way I had heard the
term before because I knew that Amsterdam has implemented this
Amsterdam run by a socialist Mayor V extremely socialist
mayor. It's called the donut economy. Have you heard of this
term? The donut economy? Oh, so the donut economy I
John C Dvorak: think we have policemen out there. They may
have heard it. Oh, wow.
Adam Curry: Actually have a Wikipedia has a definition. A
visual framework for sustainable development shaped like a
doughnut or lifebelt. And Amsterdam has implemented this.
It's called the don't the Amsterdam city donut, the donut
economy. And it stems from a lady Kate Ray worth who invented
this word. And she's doing the circuit now because of course,
she wrote a book about it. And everyone's talking about the
donut economy. And I think it will catch legs I think I think
it's got legs at the end of the day. I don't think so. Really?
John C Dvorak: What my first initial impression was about the
police having a donut. Well, that does what this does a deal
killer.
Adam Curry: Would you like to hear her explain the donut
economy?
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, sure.
Unknown: Tell me about your donuts tell me the inspiration
behind the donut. And in another way, this
John C Dvorak: is a joke. falling apart already.
Unknown: What the donut means.
So the donut I offer you is the only one that actually turns out
to be good for us. It's incredibly healthy, because it's
a vision for thriving life. But yes, think of a doughnut, the
kind with a hole in the middle. And think of humanity's use of
Earth Resources radiating out from the center of that picture.
This means that the hole in the middle of the doughnut is a
place where people are left falling short on the essentials
of life. That's where people don't have the resources for
health and education for housing and security for income and
voice are falling short, we want to leave nobody in the doughnut
hole. Now, you could say that was a very 20th century goal,
increase our economies grow GDP and everyone will have the
resources they need to meet their needs. So we have to add
to this a very 21st century understanding that as we use
that resources, we come up against an ecological limit,
beyond which we must not go because that is where we
overturn and transform the life support systems. We depend on
this living planet. We depend upon a stable climate, and
fertile soils and healthy oceans, thriving ecosystems and
when economies seek to grow forever, they undermine that
delicate web of life. Do
Adam Curry: you understand it yet?
John C Dvorak: No, she's bullshit. Whatever she's saying.
This is not going anywhere. Nice. Lady, I
Adam Curry: think I am telling you this is going places. Yeah,
well, one more clip and take a bite out of it.
Unknown: So the donut says he's no one in the whole. don't
overshoot limit. And this is the goal we strive for.
So the hole is that vortex in the middle where people plunge
into the vortex poverty and deprivation. Edges are the
diseases of civilization or excesses harming the planet
using more than you then you need to know this guy gets it
and forcing more people. So the fleshy part is the part the
healthy part. If you had to. If you had to describe the current
state of the global donor, the global inherent fleshy part is a
very thin one.
So the current state of the global donor is a double whammy
crisis. Billions of people are falling short. Billions of
people live in that hole in the middle. We know that billions of
people don't have enough food to eat everyday or have clean
water. Many kids don't go to school, millions of billions to
the most fundamental primary health care. And at the same
time, collectively, humanity has overshot at least six of the
nine planetary boundaries we recognize on climate breakdown,
land conversion on biodiversity loss and excessive fertilizer
use. So this is our inheritance at the beginning of the 21st
century. And it is resulting from the deeply degenerative and
divisive economic model that the 20th century led us into.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you, everyone's gonna be Talking
about the donut economy because it's so convoluted and so
retarded people will use it I love the global donut. No
John C Dvorak: one's gonna use it. You want it? You heard it
here last you want
Adam Curry: to put five bucks on it
John C Dvorak: I could take that out of the 500 You're gonna owe
me for shortly okay
Adam Curry: what do you mean what do you mean shortly what it
was what?
John C Dvorak: So no I'm not betting on any of this I betting
on the show is a bad idea. That means that tells the producers
that we got money to throw away all
Adam Curry: $505 That's right throwing it away. Okay I'm
telling you the global donor and about
John C Dvorak: his thing you can't that will never end it's
not like something that's it's got no end point well, I'll put
five bucks that by the end of now I just not even worth it's
too much work to create the boundaries around the bet. Yeah,
Adam Curry: we don't we don't need to bet on it. But I have I
have a good feeling about this. Oh, you'll never hear it again.
Amsterdam is our Amsterdam is the shining, the shining sparkle
the glaze on the global donut.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, that glaze is not sugar.
Adam Curry: I'd like to thank you for your currency in the
morning to you the man who put the sea in the last minute
Charlie's say hello to my friend on the other on the One Only Mr.
John's
John C Dvorak: on the morning shows to see boots on the ground
feet near San Dimas nights out there in the morning to the
trolls.
Adam Curry: Oh no, no, no. 1745 we're failing. We're failing
trolls. Yeah, they're deserting us, deserting us left and right.
And I think they get sick of it. There was the donut I apologize.
The owner, you drove them off nice. I drove them off with the
donut. So sorry. By the way, we've driven a lot of people off
in the in the past couple of weeks. Why is that? Oh, we
wouldn't choose a side and Israel versus Hamas? Because
John C Dvorak: it gets people worked up. Yeah. And I just want
to say we have a lot of people sending us know saying the best
shows ever?
Adam Curry: Well, I would say that we don't want to be liked.
We just want to be respected. And
John C Dvorak: that's the ticket.
Adam Curry: that'll that'll get us through Christmas. Yeah, but
I mean that you know, you will not go to us into it. We're not
interested in your stupid social media fights. We're just
deconstructing media showing you what's happening. All we do.
Yeah. And we come up with some gems from time to time.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the donut being one of them.
Unknown: Topper Thank you. Well,
Adam Curry: come on. We had a bagel we had a donut. You know,
it's
John C Dvorak: true. We had we got to breakfast foods are the
theme for today's show.
Adam Curry: breakfast foods are the theme. I want to thank the
trolls for being here. We appreciate you. The you always
have interesting you help us a lot. For sure. You helped me a
lot. So I appreciate it. I always had my I like I've
developed this skill, where sometimes it just like, oh,
there's something going on. I look over there. And there's the
troll room with the answer or something going on here. You
know, we're a good, a good segue. The trolls are important.
It's a live studio audience. People should try this more
often. If you're doing a podcast if you dare. Because you don't
have to do editing, post production. No, we don't do any
of that. We'd also don't have cameras and sitting there with
headphones. We are just two guys who have some expertise. And we
love sharing it with you. And the trolls are a part of that.
And we appreciate it. And it's good to troll here. So you get
it out of your system. Because it just goes away. It goes away.
You don't get in trouble. You know you don't get it you can
sleep easily. It's like when you troll troll and the troll room.
That's why it's called the troll room.io trolling.io We're using
modern podcast app which you can get a podcast apps.com which has
this a lot of cool features, including the live feature.
John C Dvorak: Didn't get into troll room by going to no agenda
stream.com
Adam Curry: is the same thing as troll room.io That goes to the
same place. But if you want to call no agenda, why you say why
do you bring that up?
John C Dvorak: Because I went to it today to see why you weren't
online.
Adam Curry: I was online.
John C Dvorak: It was clear when I went to no agenda stream.
Adam Curry: Oh, no. Okay, whatever. That was still there.
John C Dvorak: We had some issues connecting on a clean
feed.
Adam Curry: That's okay. We'd love clean feed. Just have to
refresh was good just after someone else. Someone email me.
How do you do that? That can't be just clean feed. It's a lot
of us clean feed. And of course what do you do what how do you
create such a great sound between you and John? I said 45
years of experience and clean feet
John C Dvorak: is an element of it. Clean feet
Adam Curry: and 45 have years of experience exactly. Yeah, we
know what to do what we're doing with 45 years is more minds it
might help a little bit. Anyway. Yeah, you can always participate
in that. We appreciate you being here trolls you can of course
troll along if you want and post your memes at no agenda
social.com which luckily we have that going on today. So Sir Paul
couture can have the listeners to gentlemen see if the Art
Generator could we will need to talk about actually is
John C Dvorak: he got to go in yet.
Adam Curry: Let me check. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Nope. Seems like it's still a problem. That's that's not a
good sign typically want to take hours to bring something back
from a hardware promise you that's that's yeah,
John C Dvorak: these systems are getting worse and worse over
time. I hope
Adam Curry: he doesn't have to make a trip to the data center.
That will be bad. It's probably AI that attacked us. This is a
call that's called Jen. Tell her that we're having problems with
our generator.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure we'll get some email submissions that
will no
Adam Curry: no, no, no, no pocket tours managing on nogen
social.com. They'll tag us so we will be able to choose it right
from there. But we won't be able to do unfortunately, is thank
our artists by critiquing them.
John C Dvorak: That's a shame.
Adam Curry: The only thing we can do. We're value for value,
which is what we've been throughout the duration of this
program. Oh, I Oh, by the way, I I did my interview with Mike
Adams from bright young.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, brought Mike Adams who's the nature? No,
no, I
Adam Curry: don't think he is the same guy. No, I
John C Dvorak: looked it up. I will use this. The guy who
founded Bridey on is the same guy. He's the health Ranger.
Adam Curry: Got it? Yeah. But he's a nice guy. Really seems
like a really nice guy. And and and he was very knowledgeable
and his his partner there on the podcast, Todd, he's a no agenda
producer. And he loves the show and had a lot to say about it.
But the cool and he hasn't released that yet. But at a
certain point. I want to give him kudos right so by the way,
Mike you know we talk about you know, Bridey on often on the
show, he says you do I say usually goes like this. John
will say where did you get that clip from? Bridey on
John C Dvorak: I usually say rumble too. I rarely know
Brighty I rarely be SMERSH Brady on only when it's not true it's
a lie. That's
Adam Curry: not only one it's a really nutty clip that we both
say that must be from Friday on he thought it was funny. So
anyway, we appreciate him so yes, it's value for value. We
talked about that a lot. which he thought was outstanding
people really love this idea and it's you know, it's it's
spreading it's become a term unto itself. So instead of you
know tipping or now no value for value if you get any for V for v
value for value dot info if you got anything for it was at
number four in the middle. If you get anything out of this
podcast, which we don't have behind a paywall, there's no
tears, no subscription, no Patreon little secret shows
secret bonus No What is it premium content? No premium
John C Dvorak: content is to premium. Premium content to me
is the most insulting thing you can do as a podcaster. Yes, but
next week is basically insulting people should note that yes, it
Adam Curry: is. It's an insult if you're listening to something
and then they say, if you want premium content, subscribe to
our Patreon. Yeah, you
Unknown: go to locals.
Adam Curry: Hello, Scott Adams. Yes, it is insulting. I agree.
It's insulting. So we don't insult you. In fact, we don't
even insult you by calling you fans or audience or listeners
you our producers and prospects. Well, there are douchebags and
producers return value back to the show and you do it in three
ways time, talent or treasure. There's so many ways that people
will contribute to this program boots on the ground. Making art
is one of them of course, giving us leaves information making
clips making making up and also promoting the show hitting
people in the mouth. There's many ways you can do that. And
we love our artists I wish we could critique all of them
because we usually get these days close to 20 pieces of art
that we want to talk about why we didn't choose it so we'll
just talk about the one that we did choose for episode 16 111 We
call that podcast Pro. Why do we title it podcast Pro? I don't
even remember why was that
John C Dvorak: because there was that we were mocking that the
term because somebody indicated in one of our clips that that
you we were playing it was a long story but it was a mockery.
Adam Curry: Yes clearly a Mitel
John C Dvorak: yes and mockery.
Adam Curry: Now the artwork was from Francisco Scaramanga who is
now two in a row. If if you nails this next one is the hat
trick. It's gonna be hard while there were many pieces to choose
from, and we chose a kind of a I would say a compilation probably
about five good pieces in that group there were this was a
compilation piece which had it had RFK Jr seal and Hawk
John C Dvorak: which is good the clincher by the way this is that
was the
Adam Curry: clincher it was a cute little Ukrainian girl with
a drone then we thought that this has to this has to be AI.
John C Dvorak: Oh totally miss this cute I would like to just
scare monger says not AI and I think but I don't I think he did
compose it because it was like It looks like there's a couple
of pieces from Unity maybe done done couple of pieces of AI and
put them together paucity. I obviously put the title in his
in the Korean DeVore I think on himself Yeah, with an overlay
but I think the basic piece with the girl and the drone is is AI
now
Adam Curry: the seal and the hawk on the on the seals head
was
John C Dvorak: hilarious. So stupid.
Adam Curry: Just but
John C Dvorak: yet cute.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it had something. I got pushback from
people. Hey man, fell cunning and is Hawking is not is not a
rich boy sport. said Well, have you seen the video of RFK Jr.
with his Hawks? Look, look pretty douchey to me. Yeah.
Walking out in the field. Having your hawk destroying other
animals in midair? I don't know. It didn't feel kind of weird to
me. And
John C Dvorak: it may be it may be not originally made. Maybe
mermaid Ridge Boys would never take it up and it might be more
maybe I'm confused with
Adam Curry: falcon wing. I guess Falcon. Same thing about falcon
wing. Some of those birds go for a million bucks in Saudi Arabia
in the desert.
John C Dvorak: I mean, some of the birds go for a million bucks
and it's a rich voice. I'm telling you some of those birds
are like, for example is bring up our executive producer in
residence or Hollywood producer in residence. So David Brunetti.
He's actually made friends with a hawk like a friend. Really?
Yeah, little Hawk baby Hawk sat next to me. He's documented most
of us on Instagram. Oh, little baby Hawk started hanging out
with him. And as a hog grew up, he come by and say hi, everyone.
So while I think he could turn that Hawk into a Falken for
Falken again, it would be baby become worth a million.
Adam Curry: I predict. I predict a seal is in his future and his
pool.
John C Dvorak: Yes. seals in the
Adam Curry: pool seal in the pool be coming up next is
John C Dvorak: becoming an elitist. And well, thank
Adam Curry: you very much Francisco Scaramanga and
hopefully, we'll go Who knows you might as Johnson is going to
be tough, but do you could have a hat trick. There's only few
who have done it. Then we hope we'll have and we of course,
thanks for Polka tour for running the no agenda art
generator.com For how many years? 1213.
John C Dvorak: At least well, him and Randy Asher did a
previous site which you've lost
Adam Curry: and that was Drupal. That was headless Drupal. That
didn't run very well. I
John C Dvorak: don't I think the Drupal came later. I think it
went when couture took it over just soul as a solo. I think
he's the one who implemented the Drupal code. Okay. Well, that
became a new site site, which has a lot of old art in it is
going
Adam Curry: last all that?
John C Dvorak: I don't know. Well, I
Adam Curry: have a backup of you know, up until about wasn't
maybe
John C Dvorak: six weeks ago, believe me? There's
Adam Curry: plenty of art. Yeah, there's art but it's sad when
that happens particular show day. And don't sweat it Sir Paul
good to where we love you. It'll work out. Don't worry about it.
So then what is left is a long list of lengthy notes. But much
appreciated. Because it's great for the show of executive and
Associate Executive producers. And of course we have this was
the Wednesday was the last day the last day for the triple
bagger have no agenda PhD and official PhD certificate the
whole deal, which gets you a instant night or insert name and
or title upgrade, and an executive producer ship. And
wow. You know, people just really came in at the last blast
John C Dvorak: miniature last minute Charlie's
Adam Curry: Friday to droves, Frank ads and Zotz I wonder if
that's how you pronounce it. odsonne sots. He's in Armadale,
Victoria, Australia. And I haven't seen one of these
numbers in a while. 125687 There's got to be something up
with that. Maybe that's what it takes to get to 1000 since $1
Reduce he says last They have PhD opportunity something I
would not miss oh a donation of 125687 which also takes me to
the official US dollar total to become Duke Frank. There you go
to be known henceforth as the Duke of frankness, no jingles,
just some revenue Jade generating karma. Keep up the
amazing work spreading the message and evidence about how
inept and compromised most of the mainstream media is today.
Thank you. You nailed it. That's exactly what we do. Regards.
Frank. Oh, Arjun Stott. Hey, yo, Pronunciation Guide. Armidale
Victoria, Australia, Duke of frankness. Yes, you shall be the
Duke in momentarily. And here's that karma. You asked for my
friend. You've got karma.
John C Dvorak: Robert Dawson, who's happened to be in Taiwan
came in with 123456. And this took a while to get through. We
had to he was working on sell. And then he did something he
finally got some money through using Capital One going straight
into the bank. Oh, no, no, it was it was a week of work back
and forth, and back and forth.
Adam Curry: So Jay was on that the whole time? No, I
John C Dvorak: was actually Oh, wow. So he got it in. And by the
way, there will be some laggards that get you know, there's a guy
who said send a pile does some stuff come in the mail is going
to be postmarked is going to be late. So we have a few more of
these mph.
Adam Curry: We of course have enough PhDs for all we don't
care. No.
John C Dvorak: Except for the long notes, but luckily Dawson
didn't have a long note. He says looking forward to taking the
seat next all the Knights and Dames and DHPs DS at the
illustrious roundtable. I'll take a big portion of that
button and made I'll bring high mountain oolong and the whole
group at the end of our twice weekly bank banquets. He
probably has even TVs in Taiwan, which has terrific food great
oolongs having banquets twice a week. Cheers John and Anna thank

December 4, Indianapolis, Indiana, it will be a no agenda
mean up there's about 75 or 80 people are expected we'll be
doing a live ask Adam on stage and the keeper will be with me.
That's it. You're no agenda meetups. This is what you need.
As a companion to the show. Everybody knows it. In fact, the
Indiana meetup was started because Mark and Maria we talked
to them we had a Zoom meeting to make sure they want to make sure
we were comfortable with everything. They started the
Indianapolis Indy meetup, because they felt that they
needed to have people and a community in case we went
through something we went through in the past three years.
And I really respect that and they know what the slogan is.
Connection is protection. No agenda meetups.com If you can't
find one near you start one yourself. It's easy and always
guaranteed a party with Tyson days you'd be triggered. You
want to be buddy feels the same. Is like a bar. Now I got a
couple of couple of ISOs I want to fly by you see if you'd like
any of them ready?
John C Dvorak: Sure. I think the proof is in the pudding. It's
not bad. Okay.
Adam Curry: Next one. Wow. Whoa, look at that. And then maybe
this one
John C Dvorak: that was an audible.
Adam Curry: I know it was a podcast. Police put the mics
down. Yes. Hi. What's your All right.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think I beat all those. I probably.
Let's start with what is the offbeat goal? Tao oh gosh. Oh,
Adam Curry: yes. Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: out. Finish go to the obvious. Thank you. Thank
you. That's cute. Cute. And then unbelievable.
Unknown: Literally unbelievable. That's the
Adam Curry: best one. It's the clearest. It punches through
everything. And we are literally unbelievable, literally
unbelievable. I think that's the one for us. Everyone. Tell me
you got a good news clip. John.
John C Dvorak: I always have a good news clip. If I didn't
notice something you should be no this is from the Norville
insight edition. When you have syndicated network shows, they
keep it short and sweet to local. Good news goes on for
five minutes. They talk to the neighbors. Oh, we can't have
Adam Curry: that. They can't keep it tight, locally. tight.
Keep it tight people.
John C Dvorak: So here we go. Heroes
Unknown: can be found everywhere. This one was behind
the wheel of a truck when a woman who was choking approached
Tamra Gagliano. He's now being called an angel. You're probably
not used to seeing a truck driver like this chilling out to
classical violin in his big rig. But his moment of calm is
suddenly disrupted. A Woman Pulls up in front of his truck.
She is in obvious distress. The truck driver saw she had one
hand to her throat and she raised both hands. She was
giving him the international symbol for choking. He jumps out
of his truck and immediately realizes it's a life or death
crisis. Then he grabs her from behind and administers the life
saving Heimlich maneuver with three thrusts under the ribcage
and out came the fast food she was choking on in an instant the
ordeal was over when the truck driver escorted her back to her
car. He noticed two toddlers in the backseat. Today cement truck
driver Jeff hanis
was in the right place the right time. And I did in my opinion
what most would have done
a humble hero and for that good deed the Chicago Bulls gave Jeff
and his family courtside seats.
John C Dvorak: What do we want? And what when they left out?
They left out the part where the Chicago Bulls game the courtside
seats because the Chicago Bulls are chokers.
Adam Curry: I liked I liked that it was a great good news story.
I liked the part about the international sign for choking
which I didn't know that either International and that she was
choking on some fast food. This was a dynamite and to this
16 112 episode of the no agenda show. Of course we have endless
show mixes coming up by request we got sound guy Steve, we got
