about?
John C Dvorak: Are you going to fast for 40 days? I
Adam Curry: don't think so. I'm not Jesus. No, no, be sure this
week it ends on Friday. Anyway, so I was very starving
John C Dvorak: yourself. Are you just eating at night?
Adam Curry: Sleepwalking, so I'm sleepwalking. Exactly. And so
about there was really a lot of energy. I'm like, Oh, I'm gonna
set this up. So I'm up and running. And I already got one
ITM yesterday. I was very excited.
John C Dvorak: What are you laughing about one? Well, that's
before
Adam Curry: I announced it on the show. You know, you want
sweatshirts and hoodies. I want to. I want ham radio icon next.
I'm sorry.
John C Dvorak: You want 100 ATMs?
Adam Curry: God, that'd be nice.
John C Dvorak: All I want is one sweatshirt. I asked for a lot
less than you. Hey,
Adam Curry: let's just get straight to the big news. This
is the news everybody's talking about. It's crazy. It's off the
hook. We just talked about this happening. And here it is. The
moment
Unknown: you've been waiting for is finally here. Don Lemon is
back. With a new show. Mr. flippin posted a note to x
sharing the new Don Lemon show will be airing on Twitter soon.
The former CNN anchor wrote that x is the largest free speech
platform in the world. And that space for honest debate is
needed without the hall monitors.
Adam Curry: I'm going to I'm going to predict something right
now. This is going to be a good show. I think Don Lemon is going
to surprise people. Okay. Oh, you have no predicted
John C Dvorak: I know it won't be a good show. surprise
anybody.
Adam Curry: That'd be a great show. Absolutely. No, I think
he's gonna surprise us at all. Do you watch If you watch
John C Dvorak: this gonna make Chris Cuomo jealous.
Adam Curry: I don't know about that because I don't see how Don
Lemon is going to make any money being on x. And if he goes all
sponsored, we're all you know
John C Dvorak: ILAs writing a check and handing it tight
Somehow
Adam Curry: I don't think he's doing that. I don't think he's
writing any check to talker. Any of those guys? Why would he not
have to do that?
John C Dvorak: When the milk is free, and
Adam Curry: I don't know if you've noticed this, but Twitter
seems to be having bandwidth issues or something. Like for
the past two or three days I click on a video or just get a
circle spinning around nothing you have to wait on something
going on with it.
John C Dvorak: You should it's probably because somebody from
that Prime Video operation came over. I can barely get a video
off of prime now something went wrong between
Adam Curry: Amazon Prime Yeah. Oh, really? So you're through
your what your Roku or how you're accessing
John C Dvorak: it? No, I'm accessing it through the app
that still specifically books to the to your to my LG TV. And
it's got all the apps on there. I got Netflix I got everything
and you click Netflix boots right up. Amazon Prime hardly
ever boots. I'd like to people to start documenting this is
Adam Curry: so you have a smart TV. Yeah. Don't sit in front of
it in your underwear.
John C Dvorak: It doesn't have any cameras.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, that's what you think by I wouldn't. Exactly
what I wouldn't trust that for a moment.
John C Dvorak: I'm not just watching TV in my underwear
anyway. If it was in a bedroom, I might be just how you podcast.
In it when I'm podcasting. I'm Yes, I'm only wearing
Adam Curry: shorts. There it is. All right, let's get to the real
biggest news of the week. I mean, this is the real ones
researchers
Unknown: have confirmed as if we didn't know we need 23 was the
hottest year on record the European Union's Copernicus
climate change service. Global temperatures records going back
to the year 1850. warned that this year, could very well be
even hot. It's gonna
Adam Curry: top it. It's gonna top it. This is such a scam.
They Oh, it's going back to 1850. Well, if you
John C Dvorak: look at last was it last year when they went
back? 10,000 or 250,000 years? Yeah,
Adam Curry: they decided not to do that because that was not
verifiable. But if you look at 1850 That's just around when the
Little Ice Age ended. Back in the nine hundreds it was the
temperature was higher than it is now. This is such a scam. I'm
so tired of this. And then what's
John C Dvorak: interesting insofar as being a scam is Nikki
Haley is on board
Adam Curry: with climate change. Yeah. And she's
John C Dvorak: decided oh brother cheese decided that
because of the demographics that the younger generation is all in
on climate change. And so she's gonna start promoting the idea
to pick up those voters instead of doing what a what a leader
would do, which is trying to educate people as to what what
aspects of this are just totally scam ish. Oh, guess?
Adam Curry: Ah
John C Dvorak: yes, a big everyone's it's a Buzz. Buzz
about Nikki's new strategy.
Adam Curry: Oh, really? Well, yeah. All the buzz I got is, is
chris Christie dropping out of the race and then the Hot Mic
Hot Mic incident
John C Dvorak: hot mic. The phony Hot Mic incident. Oh, you
Adam Curry: think it's phony? That's interesting. No, totally
Unknown: homeless tonight, Chris Christie announcing the end of
his long shot presidential bid just five days before the first
contest of the Republican primary. It's clear to
me tonight that there isn't a path for me to win the
nomination. Which is why I'm suspending my campaign tonight.
Go for President United States.
The most vocal Trump critic in the GOP field, the former New
Jersey governor had focused his campaign on New Hampshire but
struggled to gain traction. I
am going to make sure that in no way to I enable Donald Trump to
ever be President of the United States again. And that's more
important than my own personal ambition.
And while Christie made no endorsement tonight, he already
faces pressure to back Nikki Haley whom he has publicly
defended in the past, but has repeatedly criticized in recent
days, including for not taking on Trump more directly when you
ask her the tough questions. Well, good Mike. She doesn't
answer. Christie
appearing to criticize her on a hot mic, or his event began
tonight.
And she's gonna get smoked and you and I both know what she
thought on social
media Trump calling that a quote, very truthful statement.
Christy's exit could give Haley up boost in New Hampshire, where
polls show her closing the gap with Trump. And where a recent
poll shows roughly half of Christie supporters listing
Haley as their second choice. So
Adam Curry: this whole Hot Mic thing is not quite as
interesting. I mean, if you want to hear it, I have the whole
thing, but
John C Dvorak: it's just that part you played is the best part
that yeah, that's the best part. But
Adam Curry: what I thought was interesting is, you know,
because the general consensus is that Nikki Haley is being funded
by big Democrat donors, anything or anything, anything to get rid
of Trump because Nikki can do it. And the way NBC categorized
as hot mic was weird,
Unknown: but just moments before chris Christie started giving
this speech, there was a hot mic moment. We talked about it a
little bit ago in the show in which he was apparently talking
presumably about Nikki Haley, apparently presumably saying
suggesting things suggested and presumably her
Adam Curry: again, presumably or we're not sure we're not sure if
it was about her, we really don't know because, you know, he
said she but it could be it could be big, the big
Unknown: O in the show in which she was apparently talking
presumably about Nikki Haley, saying suggesting that again,
presumably her couldn't get smokes, let me play a little bit
of that hot mic moment now, people
spent 16 million so far 59 million provides a Santas, and
we spent 12. And it comes punching above their weight and
who's getting a return on their investment, you know, and she's
gonna get smokes, and you and I both know what she's up to. 20
points behind Trump. And he's gonna always I talked to stances
called petrified, like getting out, FYI.
Okay, there's a lot to unpack on that one. John Allen is chris
Christie, of course, is still speaking on stage, we're going
to listen to see if he does in fact, make an endorsement. But
there's two pieces to this one. And we got to be careful here. I
mean, hear from presume he's talking about Nikki Haley, based
on that conversation. There's only you know, one person who's
talking points a woman who's 20 points behind.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's almost over. But this is crazy.
John C Dvorak: Presumably, he cites the exact amount of money
she's collected. Who else who else collected $65 million? As
he pointed out, I mean, besides her,
Adam Curry: NBC has no problem talking about sources say when
it comes to Trump or things like that, but here it is playing on
its face. And she's all like, well, you know, presumably,
we're not sure it could be. We have to be very careful. You can
Unknown: presume he's talking about Nikki Haley. Based on that
conversation. There's only you know, one person who's 20
points, one woman who's 20 points behind Donald Trump in
New Hampshire, again, presumably Nikki Haley, saying she's gonna
get smoked, you will already seeing other campaigns pick up
on this, including, by the way Donald Trump himself who as in
the course of our conversation here in the last four minutes,
said I hear Chris Christie is dropping out of the race to say
said he was just caught on a hot mic saying she's gonna get
smoked, calling that a very truthful statement here, John, I
mean, this is already creating like a whole political saying
now
Adam Curry: the way she kept saying is, presumably, maybe
we're not sure couldn't be a week could it be tells me that
something's up.
John C Dvorak: But what well, did
Adam Curry: they they're disappointed they wanted Nikki
Haley to win. And now she's gonna get smoked. Smoked, I tell
you smoke.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think the again, I think this hot mic was
a fake. He really was hot. And he's gonna say so. And what his
complaint what he was complaining about, Christie.
Besides the fact that we all know they, for some reason,
because Trump didn't give him a position. He was looking for
something. He's pissed and he's trying to get revenge in is the
fact that he says in that in that little commentary in the
hot mic. He says that she picked up $65 million in donations
largely from Silicon Valley and
Adam Curry: spent it on television that's what he was
saying spent all that money.
John C Dvorak: What he's got, but the numbers there he and
he's had 12 million. He's what he's trying to I think convey is
that Hey, where's my money?
Adam Curry: If you'd only give me money? I would have I would
have been that would have been Nikki? Yeah, maybe. Isn't he
endorsing or now though?
John C Dvorak: I don't know that he is. I believe so. He will did
he's a hypocrite he calm dog chris Christie hypocrite anyway,
Adam Curry: that that part of it doesn't matter. I mean, of
course, the funniest thing was that I'd haven't looked at the
the ratings if they're even you can't even get ratings anymore.
Oh, no, we can't do overnight ratings because you know, that
would disappoint everybody. I'll be waiting for the rating. So
Trump did at Fox News Town Hall, which I did not see but
supposedly pretty good. He was entertaining from what I
understand. Even the Young Turks people were saying he was funny.
Which is odd for them. is weird. Very weird for them to say that.
Here's, here's why. In small clip about his so called Revenge
retribution on day one or day one, a lot of
Unknown: time talking about retribution. And so there are
questions about how much a second term of a Donald Trump
presidency second term would be about retribution and looking
backwards and grievances and how much we'd be looking forward.
Well,
first of all, a lot of people would say that that's not so bad
liquid they did Russia, Russia, Russia hubs, the FBI, Twitter
hoax, the 51 intelligence agents hoax, all of these different
hoaxes that they did. I mean, you know, a lot of people would
say, that's probably quite normal. I'm not gonna have time
for retribution. We're gonna make this country so successful
again, I'm not gonna have time for retribution.
Adam Curry: He sounds young. Do you hear that in his way? Sounds
younger. Someone's calling on. It could be the EQ sounds
bizarre males little sped up. Just sounded younger. Yeah. Sue,
you got anything from from these fabulous events?
John C Dvorak: I was, you know, I would get I'm like, you know,
we get a jaded thing. I didn't watch either one of them either.
I do have, I might have a Christie thing. My version of
Christie is chris Christie weirdness from NTDs. Basically,
your report was it was something weird given
Unknown: to you as well to have just moments ago, former New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced that he's dropping out
of the 2024 presidential race. And this comes just five days
before the first caucus in the nation right here in Iowa. We
will have Chris Christie, who's a vocal Trump critic, even in
announcing the suspension of his campaign promise to keep Trump
out of office ever again. Meanwhile, he actually might
have helped boost Trump's chances just now by getting
caught on hot mic, saying that Nikki Haley will get smoked, but
because
I want to promise you this. I am going to make sure that in no
way to I enable Donald Trump to ever be President of the United
States again, like she's gonna get smoked. And you and I both
know what she's up to.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's weird. So they say this is the hot mic
button and they play a bit from from from they
John C Dvorak: did they clipped in? That's weird. Yeah, it was
very different.
Adam Curry: But well, since we're doing foreign foreigners,
I remember Ian Bremmer. Just back from it. Wasn't he from
Iraq, but he was, he was brave wasn't Bremmer, the guy handing
out the big stacks of money to everybody? Maybe Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: may have evolved. Yeah. Or the second Iraq war is
handing
Adam Curry: out money so now he's a big week over there at
the Eurasia group, which is just another Think Tank that'll be a
write up any papers you want for money. And they created the list
of the biggest risks of 2024 the biggest risks to good find now
do you think climate change is the top
John C Dvorak: Oh, it has to be it's the it's the number one
threat to the world for all it's a what do you call it threat?
You know, it's gonna kill everyone. existential threat
existential is the word I'm looking for?
Adam Curry: Well, no, we
Unknown: begin the day going down the list of the biggest
global risks of 2020. For every January we take stock of what
threatened the world as we know it last year, and what could do
the same in the new year and this January, it's no different
for 2020 for some of the global risks are all too familiar some
to be expected. That's according to the Eurasia group. And its
annual global risk report for joining me now is Ian Bremmer,
President, founder of Eurasia group and G zero media. talk
first about the US presidential election being Risk Number one,
you are not alone here. In putting it at the top of the
list. I'd like to get your reaction to what the
constitutional law professor told me last night on this
program. When I asked about a possible Trump victory comment
November, this
Adam Curry: is great. So before he gets into it, they're going
to lead in with this constitutional law professor.
I'm not sure who she is. She's a dei hire. And, and she has her
book behind her on the shot. This is this is just a
phenomenal piece of orange MAN, bad dimension. Be nuttiness,
take a listen. Donald
Unknown: Trump becomes president again. He's already decided he's
going to wreak vengeance on anyone who opposes him,
especially the so called enemies he already has in the government
and anybody who didn't vote for him before. But he's also going
to join with other strong men dictators around the country, I
mean, around the world and create havoc around the globe
will not just rest within the borders of the United States.
There will be I would say, perhaps World War Three if he He
is allowed to join with other dictators and put in place the
nationalist themes that he's already advocated in the United
States. Now
Adam Curry: what? What constitutional law was discussed
in that clip? This is just one crazy lady's opinion. But it
kind of lines up with Eurasia group.
Unknown: What do you what do you say to that? I mean, if we're
talking about a risk that is so acute so severe that we could be
looking at another world war. Let me back
John C Dvorak: up stopped. So you just came from Deutsche
Avella? No, no, France? 24. Oh, really? Because it sounds like
one of the Deutsche Valley guys.
Adam Curry: Let me double check you Sure? No, let me double
check. I'm pretty sure it was. Where is it?
John C Dvorak: Because it makes more sense coming for me. Oh,
no, no, it's
Adam Curry: France. 24. I wrote it down France. 24. Okay, so
John C Dvorak: this that I did I know who Okay, here's the other
guy. It's interesting, because it would seem more like it came
from a propaganda outlet
Adam Curry: out France. 24 is not a propaganda outlet.
John C Dvorak: Well, no, but they're not a CIA control, like
not yet. But they gotta maybe they are already they got
revenue, they got Bremmer
Adam Curry: in the house.
Unknown: Let me walk back from the brink a little bit. The
United States democracy is in crisis. If you write our report,
we look at American trust in institutions, from Congress and
the executive to the media and the judiciary, to the church,
and they have all been going down, down down, nothing is
stopping that. They the US is the one democracy in the g7 that
does not have the committed ability to have a free and fair
transfer of power in a legitimate national election.
That is a serious issue that we should not normalize. And in the
next few months, Donald Trump, who had tried to overturn the
outcome of the 2020 election, is enormously likely to become the
nominee of the Republican Party. And when he does, the
Republicans will be loyal to him. And he will
Adam Curry: become more shows from January 6 footage in the
background to more
Unknown: powerful overnight, which means his policies, his
policies, not just domestically, but also internationally, his
willingness to go after Biden is willingness to cut off the
Ukrainians his willingness to go after the Iranians trade
decoupling with the Chinese, those will become policies that
the Republicans as a party will pursue. And so this is not just
about the coin flip of where we end up come this November, but
it's also about the entire year where we're going to be in a
much more divided much more problematic policy environment
for the US and for its allies around the world and people are
Adam Curry: expected. Yes See? Things horrible things, which
sounds good to me.
John C Dvorak: What was this list? He did? They didn't even
mean was that number one, and they just stopped. Where's the
top 10 Touch now?
Adam Curry: It's climate change was number four. The whole list
of lists was dumb. That's dumb. Who cares? Number one is all
they want to talk about. World war three. Yes. At Trump World
war three, he's gonna He's gonna get together with other leaders
around the world and wreak havoc. Okay, okay. Because
that's all they can think of. Let's make world war three.
Yeah. Great idea, guys. By the way, our constitutional lawyer
Jeff Raab, sent in some opinions from law 360. About the you
know, Trump and the 14th Amendment section three,
because, you know, he took that to the Supreme Court. And man, I
mean, the title of this article is weary justices have many off
ramps in Trump ballot dispute. Here's some of the opinions just
so you know. See Covington and Burlington LLP says Special
Counsel Matt Chapin Anka that they would take the case comes
as no surprise how they choose to decide it will be. The court
granted Trump's broad question of where the Colorado Supreme
Court eard in his decision, as opposed to specific questions
about Section threes, applicability and enforcement
posed by brand to the state's political party, giving justice
at least eight ways to overrule the state court's ruling. This
is a shoo in. Supreme Court is free to decide Trump's case in a
myriad of ways. This is going to be in his favor, no doubt about
it.
John C Dvorak: But it has to be because of his not in his favor.
The first thing that's going to happen is Biden's going to be
kicked off the Florida ballot. swing states that Colorado
Adam Curry: exact and this is it's like the season of reveal.
Now we've Find out that was a Fannie Willis, the Georgia
District Attorney.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, she's she's stupid her the guy she
hired to prosecute Trump
Adam Curry: who's who sent the White House invoices. How stupid
are these people?
John C Dvorak: I have a clip on that.
Adam Curry: I don't have a clip I was looking for. But most of
it was just, you know, Twitter outrage, like,
John C Dvorak: what I do is this funny story. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. Well, and also now she's been subpoenaed in
that guy's divorce case.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Because the divorce. Yeah. Yes.
Adam Curry: homewrecker. And have I didn't get a clip, Nancy
Pelosi now claiming that she begged for the National Guard
troops on January 6, which of course is emphatically not true.
She's the one that lied. Yes, she stopped it. I'm telling you
this. This is the season of reveal all shall be revealed.
And a lot of people will pay attention. Not Not. Not all, but
many will know I think our show will. Yeah. I mean, even. I
mean, it's crazy how things just keep circling back and people's
heads are all filled with weirdness particularly Democrats
in in Congress. You saw Jaya Paul, member of the squad,
trying to discredit Trump. During this special session, she
did one we're
Unknown: going to talk about outrageous things that have
happened or things that have never happened. Let's talk about
the fact that President Trump incited an erection and
Adam Curry: you can talk about that too. Which of course gives
me the moment to play our mini cut of all Democrats thinking
about erections
Unknown: into inciting an erection. They feel the
President has incited an erection for inciting the
erection
incited the erection. So I'm just inside an erection inside
an erection on the Capitol
reciting that deadly erection. From President Trump incited in
aren
t he worked to incite an erection is no comparison
to inciting an erection into
inciting an erection for inciting the erection, incited
the erection
it was hard to get it aroused and it is hard to get it
aroused, but we got it. All
Adam Curry: right, there you go. What are people thinking when
they make a mistake like that?
John C Dvorak: Well, you think they're thinking I guess.
Where's the hard on for Trump? Oh,
Adam Curry: there you go. Very good. Excellent. Well, okay, so
we might as well get all of the US news out of the way.
John C Dvorak: Let's skip to one thing that you kind of touched
on it, which have we seen Lloyd Austin yet?
Adam Curry: No, we still haven't. We've only seen a
statement that he said, Oh, I'm sorry. I got I have to repent. I
gotta think about this. Yeah, well,
John C Dvorak: then there's a rumor. It's more than a rumor in
circles. Yes. Killed in Ukraine.
Adam Curry: This, this comes from raw news, which said they
go out
John C Dvorak: from Russia. No, rah, rah news is a weird
operation because it's really kind of Babylon beam meets Real
News. Yeah, yeah. So it's kind of so you don't know what's true
and what's not true in there. And that report is like too many
weird details. But I got something which is a which is a
podcaster does military history or something some and he's
Russia. I think he's a Russian plant, too. But he has kind of
tries to explain some things. And he brings in some new terms,
which call, which is called Making a legend. Which means
when you are illegally in some area and you get killed your
people make a legend as to how you died. Oh, I never heard this
term. That's a good I haven't heard it either. But let's play
the Lloyd Austin clips from this guy is he got a deep kind of a
kind of a Eastern European accent. You have to kind of get
a good hearing. All right,
Unknown: NATO says that there is no need to officers, Russians,
the Russians are saying that. Almost every month they managed
to get this or that one. And important thing is not about the
situation. We don't know who's lying who's telling the truth.
The most important is if somehow another NATO officer enter
Ukraine and he was hit by the Russian missile what happens
next? You might find very interesting that if this officer
is located in Ukraine or anyone else unofficially, and if
somehow he managed these are that's Russian missile or
anyone's missile I've managed to get him. There is a special
group that start creating legend. Start creating a legend
and for example, if these are that night officers died, then
we can might may find another car accident. Or let's say we
may find another heart attack. Or we might find another, let's
say, accident somewhere on the holidays as a result of this
accident this or that officer died or something like this. So
anyway, the legend should be, you need to explain why these
are that General of Nate's army died in this or that
circumstances. And so this is the situation. And now we're
moving back to Lloyd oyston, because according to information
we have he disappeared from TVs on the second of January. The
second of January, I'll remind you is the day when the Russians
ended their massive missiles strikes over the entire Ukraine,
including Kinzel is come there, many other different types of
missiles, like of how serious and so on. And furthermore, as a
reminder that the Russians, according to their report,
during those days managed to get another base. And at least as I
remember, one deputy of General Staff of Ukraine was died as a
result of another strike. And few let's see bases with
officers need to officers also were destroyed.
Adam Curry: Ha, do you know the name of this podcast? I want to
subscribe to it.
John C Dvorak: It's a military something I posted on no agenda
social that entire his entire Spiel goes on for about an hour
video or is it only on his video? He's on he's got
Adam Curry: that Tom Brady? Isn't on Bridey on?
John C Dvorak: I got it off YouTube? Oh, it's under it's on
the real deal.
Adam Curry: I can't I can't I can't believe that they haven't
taken that down yet. This is horrible. This speculation.
John C Dvorak: Well, they're sitting there anyway, you know,
agenda social has a has a copy. So here we go into the second
part of this. So
Unknown: very likely, I'm not saying that this is like
complete truth that we got this information somewhere from
reliable sources, or the Washington Post wrote about
this. No, we don't have this. But everything is like a theory
that very likely that Lloyd OYSTEIN. During the new let's
say, a New Year holidays, visited Ukraine. And it was an
official visit. Maybe they wanted to discuss something
resiliency without some official documents. And as a result of
Russian missiles strike as the revenge for Belgrade bombings.
When the planes were bombing building, it was class two
rounds, Lloyd Austin may be wounded and he was transferred
of course to United States of America maybe he's a very poor
condition because of his house and this is the reason why he
was already dismissed by the Congress and very likely that
he's going to have a lot of problems and very likely we're
not going to see Lloyd Austin anymore. Once again, I hope that
this all these talks I just provided is just wishful
thinking or it's just a theory from the others Yeah, we should
all listen to recover as soon as possible
Adam Curry: All right, so the thinking here would be well we
have to make legend out of him because we can't to actually
well first of all who says he was killed by the Russians? I
mean they've got guys popping off hang grenades all day long
over there on their own guys remember that all the all these
these top brass military guys like oh, here's a hand grenade
in your cake
John C Dvorak: were there yes I'm sure that's going on too bad
my understanding from reading the various things a lot of BS
no doubt about you can't find anything on RT so that's kind of
makes you wonder But the Russians are always on the
lookout for these NATO guys coming in to advise advise the
Ukrainians and then they they assassinate them left and right
if they can by just pummeling wherever they are whatever
meeting and I guess they summoned got stuck to see Lloyd
Austin comes through with some be a good one. Let's see how
they explain this.
Adam Curry: I'm laughing but of course it's tragic but so why
wouldn't they do anything
John C Dvorak: in this is all why must follow the logical has
not cropped up well, let's
Adam Curry: follow the logic for a minute though. So he's killed
over there. Why would they just say oh man he got killed let's
go let's go bomb Russia bomb Moscow. Clearly there nobody
wants that was just shows that this is not at all about Russia.
And really well, there
John C Dvorak: was no okay. There's no pre. There was no
announcement of him going there was it's like a top secret
mission. Why was he there? Why was he meeting? Why is our
Secretary of Defense hanging out and you're cramming this is like
Brammer when he was in Ukraine hanging out at me.
Adam Curry: I mean, why is Sean pan over there? I mean,
everyone's over there. Everyone's in on this scam. You
know, I have two clips here that that that May kind of show that
we're getting really towards the end. And I don't know what
they're going to do with Lloyd Austin actually want to play
this. Kirby, who is who was in the Pentagon who should know,
much better as what's going on. Ducey was grilling him. And
Kirby really kind of had a mini meltdown. He couldn't handle the
questions.
Unknown: I think it's up to you and your colleagues. And it's up
to the American people to determine, you know, how much
they're going to ascribe what happened here to our credibility
and every single issue. But in in every way. Secretary Austin
has been an exceptional defense secretary and he still has the
full faith and confidence of the Commander in Chief,
Adam Curry: why didn't he say is, is an outstanding Secretary
defense. Why did he Why say has been? I mean, if I, if I were
Lloyd Austin, I'm still alive, I'd be pissed about this. But
Unknown: in in every way. Secretary Austin has been an
exceptional defense secretary and he still has the full faith
and confidence of the Commander in Chief, he has led the
department at an incredibly dangerous time for our national
security
John C Dvorak: is leading has led Yes, yes. As opposed to is
leading all of this, the
Unknown: Commander in Chief, he has led the department at an
incredibly dangerous time for our national security interests
and those of our allies and partners. But
if the administration is gonna go to such great lengths to keep
secrets about the defense, secretaries of health, how can
anybody be certain that the administration would not go to
the same lengths to keep secret problems with President Biden?
So
if, if you could logically argue, and you can't, but if you
could logically argue that one years old, wait a second, just
give me a second here, Bob? I'll get there.
Adam Curry: Second here, Bob, what is that all about? That's
not very that's not right.
John C Dvorak: Very professional, Bob. Hey,
Adam Curry: Bob. I wouldn't even call you Bob. That's just not
cool. Dude
John C Dvorak: is bad enough, Bob,
Unknown: are you and you can't. But if you could, logically,
one years old. Wait
a second. Just give me a second here. But I'll get there. If if
the administration made some sort of Machiavellian effort
across the board to to keep this from getting public, then I
think your question has merit, and certainly is a fair one. I
don't think it's a fair one. Because that's not what happened
here. Peter, what happened here is the Secretary of Defense. For
whatever reason, I can't answer the question why? That
information wasn't shared wasn't shared widely in the department,
and it certainly wasn't shared again. It's not good. It's
certainly not good. We want to learn from this. We want to, we
want to make sure that it doesn't happen again. We want
Adam Curry: to learn from this we'll make sure it doesn't
happen again. But how many of these guys are going to get
killed? I might as well play the to the mainstream reports I have
and then get into what I really want to play. This is. Let's
see. We'll start with CBS Secretary
Unknown: Austin had surgery for prostate cancer more than two
weeks ago, but hid the diagnosis from his commander in chief.
Until today.
The President didn't know about the diagnosis until this
morning. Austin underwent
surgery on December 22nd. CBS News CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT
Dr. John will pook describes the operation which the Pentagon
called an elective medical procedure.
When you take out the entire prostate it is a major
operation. On New
Year's Day Austin began to suffer complication so
Adam Curry: don't think that's really if if you're taking
someone's whole prostate out that's not enough elective
surgery. That's like emergency cancer surgery, isn't it? Well,
John C Dvorak: they also that's interesting that they're CVS or
bring this in because my understanding was there was some
something lesser than that, that took place and they're not
really giving us good explanations. And then there's
the rumor again, we don't know this one way or the other, but
they're not covering it because they're the replay. Why would
we? Why would we is nobody at Walter Reed even saw the guy.
Adam Curry: I mean, he's a hard guy to miss.
John C Dvorak: It's hard to miss
Unknown: the hard guy to miss. On New Year's Day, Austin began
to suffer complications, including
nausea with severe abdominal, hip and leg pain. initial
evaluation revealed a urinary tract infection
Adam Curry: very rare for men. By the way, UTI
Unknown: This is an unusual complication. Usually these
surgeries, they are big operations, but people recover
very well. Generally without any kind of a complication like
this.
admitted to the ICU with a tube down his nose to drain his
stomach. Austin turned over his powers as Secretary of Defense
to his deputy, but waited three full days before telling the
White House he was in the hospital.
It is not optimal to for a situation like this to go as
long as it did without the commander in chief knowing about
it. That's not the way A this is supposed to happen. The
White House ordered all cabinet secretaries to immediately
report whenever they are not able to perform their duties.
And the Pentagon began a review of what took so long.
Adam Curry: NBC had one other detail about the assistant
secretary or the Yeah, the Deputy Secretary
John C Dvorak: contradicts what we've been hearing. Supposedly
she didn't know anything either. She was on vacation. Yeah, she
was on vacay. Night the mystery surrounding wouldn't if she if
this had been going on while she was on vacay. Wouldn't she fly
back immediately? You
Adam Curry: would. Thanks. Hey, if I was some second in command,
I'm like, hey, I can be the top dog.
John C Dvorak: I can take over. I'm
Adam Curry: coming back. You bet. Tonight
Unknown: the mystery surrounding Secretary of Defense Lloyd
Austin secret of hospitalization revealed he was being treated
for prostate cancer. His doctor say he was diagnosed in early
December, but defense officials say he hid the illness from top
Pentagon officials and even the president nobody
at the White House knew that Secretary Austin had prostate
cancer until this morning.
A statement from Walter Reed saying his surgical procedure on
December 22 was to treat and cure prostate cancer
Adam Curry: December 22. Now that changes the timeline a bit
All we know is about January now the procedure was on December
22.
Unknown: Prostate cancer this until this morning, a
statement from Walter Reed saying his surgical procedure on
December 22 was to treat and cure prostate cancer. They say
he was under general anesthesia but released the next morning,
but on Monday, January 1, Austin was rushed back to Walter Reed
via ambulance with severe pain, suffering from an infection and
fluid buildup that was impairing his small intestine. On Tuesday,
January 2, Austin was admitted to the intensive care unit and
transferred some authorities to his deputy Kathleen Hicks, while
she was on vacation in Puerto Rico. But Hicks and the White
House were not told he was in the ICU until Thursday, January
4, members of Congress senior Pentagon leaders and the public
were not informed until the night of Friday, January 5,
this guy shouldn't be in charge of our military now.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm gonna continue calling for full
disclosure, I'm calling for a full hearing
Unknown: the Pentagon now reviewing who knew what, when
and why the White House wasn't told.
Clearly, we could have done better and we will do better.
Austin's
Chief of Staff now ordering that these officials be told when
Austin transfers authority to Hicks and why Austin remains
hospitalized tonight, having now spent all of 2024 in the
hospital doctors they're saying he's expected to make a full
recovery, but it can be a slow process.
Adam Curry: Here's what I'm missing. I'm missing Hicks. Why
isn't Hicks out there saying I know we're in two wars. It's all
good. I'm here. steady hand on the helm. It's all good. I wish
Secretary Boyd Austin all the best and his recovery.
Everything's good. I got you. That's what we're missing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and you know what they're doing right
now? Looking for a double
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Maybe the dad from Fresh Prince of Bel Air
is available.
John C Dvorak: You're going to have to find a tot to problem
with this guy. And they may be it's something to consider in
the future you Democrats tough to don't hire a guy that's tough
to double a job that is that big. Yeah. And that tall.
Adam Curry: But even then you would have Hicks come out and
say, Don't worry, everybody
John C Dvorak: was Hicks. I know I'm not arguing about what you
just said. We're getting a double I'm just saying what
they're more concerned about is finding a double or you haven't
come up with a reason for him to die. Well
Adam Curry: the reason is, first of all, our comes razor says
this happened and prostate cancer is of course horrible and
men die from it. Yeah, you know, this is not something that that
you know, unfortunately. So So I wish him no ill but despite the
mess ups they're just making it worse by not having the second
in command come out while we're at so called at war in Ukraine,
so called at war in the Middle East. We've got the red sea
situation, we've got everything popping off and we don't have
anybody saying Don't worry about nobody, not even standing. And
we got Kirby going off. Oh,
John C Dvorak: poor Kirby. You know, he may have been a good
friend with this guy and he's probably beside herself because
if the Russian story is true, and the guy's dead, was badly
injured or wounded and
Adam Curry: whatever then that we have house Democrat this
John C Dvorak: is this is obviously we Getting we're
getting fed bowl, media and nobody cares to look into it.
Adam Curry: So this the backdrop here is that the there's a
proposal now that has, I think, been negotiated between Mike
Johnson, Speaker of the House, Republican Mike Johnson, and the
White House for the spending bill, which includes over almost
$900 billion for the military, but lacks any specific budgets
for Ukraine, Israel, and the much discussed Well, we've got
to change the border. You know, that was supposed to be a Fed
accompli is like it unless you change the policy at the border.
We're not going to sign off in any money for for these two wars
that were not involved in financing paying for. And so the
first clip I have is chip Roy, from Texas, and he was on Glenn
Beck and he's passed about this
Unknown: greetings from West Des Moines, Iowa, where it's like a
balmy 20 degrees outside but the snowstorm coming in, but the
real snowstorm coming in is coming into DC that's going to
hammer the American people, Republicans doing exactly what
they always do, which is be the party of excuses. The party will
never find a way to not capitulate and spend more money
that we don't have and rack up more debt. So what are we doing
now under speaker Johnson right NEW SPEAKER more of the same
garbage we're going to have a bill is $1.66 trillion. That is
almost, that's about $58 billion more than the disastrous Nancy
Pelosi omnibus bill the Republicans opposed a year ago,
it is $100 billion dollars more than what we would get if
Republicans had the spine to walk onto the House floor and
send a simple year long continuing resolution over the
Senate that would trigger the cuts. All Adobe they meager in
the debt deal last summer, it would trigger cuts, that we
could get 1.56 2 trillion in spending. They won't do that.
Because they're all in the hip pocket of all the lobbyists,
they hide behind our military. And now we're not going to get
the border secure. We're going to spend $100 billion more than
we have to we're going to increase spending over the Nancy
Pelosi spending deals. And Republicans are going to go try
to sell you and the American people that somehow win. Don't
believe that. This is what the American people are tired of.
And I'm like, I'm gonna call balls and strikes. I call balls
and strikes on Kevin McCall balls and strikes on mic. And
speaker. People should call balls and strikes. I mean,
that's the way it works.
Adam Curry: Tough Guy tough guy, Chip. Gas guy. Drake's balls and
strikes. I'm calling balls and strikes. But it appears that
there's a gambit afoot. And this is one that I predicted. And I
think it may be happening because the information now
comes from Washington Post reporter, Josh Rogen, WaPo, WaPo
WaPo.
John C Dvorak: And Asha Rogen.
Adam Curry: Yes, the actor No, r o g i n Rogan. He's from WaPo.
And he was on the John bachelor show. And he brought up some
strategy which makes total sense. In light of Bill, both
the unit party in Washington DC does not actually want to fix
the border. We know this. Does that mean? This is why it hasn't
happened. They want it they need it. The bankers want it. We need
people coming in. We need it for a whole bunch of reasons, but
mainly to be able to print more money because there's people
here who need money, and then we print money for everybody. We
need liquidity. Open the borders. So what are we doing
with with Ukraine? Remember that $300 billion of Russian money
Unknown: presuming that this goes to at the g7 meeting in
February, it has to mean that they're working on a
presentation now. Is any of it to be used for armaments for
what they need now to get through the winter? Or is it all
going to be designated for rebuilding, right? That's
a key distinction. This would only be used for mid to long
term rebuilding and reconstruction, it would not be
used to fund the war effort. And so it does not replace the need
for Congress to also pass billions of dollars in
additional new military, economic and humanitarian
assistance for Ukraine just to get through this year. What it
can do is it can provide a political cover for Republicans
who are scared of backlash from the GOP base, and also give
Americans a reassurance that there's an end to this
commitment that when it comes time to rebuild Ukraine,
there'll be a pot of money that will be sitting there now how
that gets done, they'll have to be a mechanism that will have to
be some sort of organization to distribute it and make sure it
doesn't all go into corrupt coffers and all of that that's a
multi year effort all by itself. So this is a very complicated
set of policies that never really existed before. But first
you have to have the political will to do it. And that's been
the problems that the fight ministration didn't want to do
it. They thought they know that Europeans didn't want to do it.
But now they really have little choice. Because if this is the
way to get the Republic, some Republicans, at least those who
want to support Ukraine, but are scared of political backlash to
vote for the Ukrainians, and that's really the most important
thing right now. So it was always a good idea, in my view,
and now it's a politically expedient one as well.
Adam Curry: So this will be decided in February at the g7.
It's emitted it's at that level.
John C Dvorak: First of all, I don't know who is clipping the
John bachelor show for you. But that's pretty wild that someone
would be that dedicated. But it's Mike getting the straight
they're gonna steal the Russian money.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that you said would never happen.
John C Dvorak: I said it would never happen because it's just
it's, it's, it's opening Pandora's Box. Hello. If they
take then steal this money? Is not your money.
Adam Curry: Told? Hello? What do you think of it? Look, would you
rather that they steal it from you in taxes? Or inflation? Let
them steal it from the Russians. Everyone will be happy had damn
Russians.
John C Dvorak: You're gonna have to pay the Russians back for
this. It's not Oh, really be stealing anything.
Adam Curry: But that'll be for Trump to do when he wins. They
don't care at this point. They don't care. But I think it's
John C Dvorak: right. Yeah, continuation of the basic thesis
that I think that we somewhat agree on, which is they're going
to screw up as much as they can, knowing Trump's getting in no
matter what you do. Yeah. And put him in there. Let him fix
it.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Give it to him. We'll see in 2028. When
Nikki's a Democrat or whatever, or board Gavin Newsom or
whoever,
John C Dvorak: she's Democrat, or the Hello, whoever, whoever
is you see them fundraising in Silicon Valley. I sent you that
when I get these things.
Adam Curry: Yes, I say Draper Draper
John C Dvorak: is what he's one of the big
Adam Curry: Goodness gracious. I didn't get this really funny
clip that was on the acts of New York, Congresswoman Clark to
Democrat. And she, she she said, Hey, keep the border open. This
is good. It's good for me from
Unknown: Brooklyn, New York, we have a diaspora that can absorb
a significant number of these migrants. And that, you know,
when I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of
the NBN close, no room in the end, I am saying, you know, I
need more people in my district, but just for redistricting
purposes, and those members could could clearly fit here.
Wow,
Adam Curry: she just said it. Bring those bodies in. I can use
it for redistricting.
John C Dvorak: Have a clip about the school donate
Adam Curry: the in New York. Yeah. I don't know. These
John C Dvorak: are very poorly organized today. I've got like
two minutes wrong.
Adam Curry: What is what is going on yet? Something's wrong
with you. May
John C Dvorak: or can promise I started clipping too early in
the week. Oh, that's bad. But I know you have to clip at the
last minute otherwise you end up with a mess. By
Adam Curry: the way. Michelle Obama just speaking of Democrats
did this hour long interview. Yeah. Everyone saw it and
everybody's saying she's running. She's running. You were
right. Big mic. 2024. Big mic 2420 20 four.com. Everybody,
she's running she's running. And it was Daily Caller who had the
best headline and opening graph. Quote, Michelle Obama has a big
package for Democrats this election season. Oh, writer,
former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed her huge package on a
podcast Monday that could help Democrats hold on to the White
House in 2024 She's ready to fill up Democrats strategy
sessions with a new man with a new twist on the same old
tactics as she and her husband prepared to Double Team America
with more fear
John C Dvorak: I mean wrote that be shameful we're not even that
juvenile no we're not that is so bad is the clip is great New
York City moves immigrants to school age
Adam Curry: clipper gauge clipper wrote that
John C Dvorak: yeah, oh gage clipper Sure. Why. So buddy
named jig name Lipper. In itself has got says some sexual
innuendo. I
Adam Curry: love that. It's like, boy, you guys are really
going all out. Just go beyond anything that no agenda guys
would do. And that's crazy. But yeah, it's there was I don't
want to switch topics if you have other things. No, I
John C Dvorak: got the clip. It's great New York City school
thing. Great.
Unknown: Okay, let's do that students out and illegal
immigrants in New York City has decided to turn In a high school
into a temporary shelter for illegal immigrants, and the
decision is forcing students into remote learning entities.
Jason Perry reports from
the high school.
I'm here in front of James Madison High School in Brooklyn,
New York. And last night on Tuesday night, almost 2000
illegal immigrants stayed in this high school overnight. And
because of that the students who usually attend school here won't
be learning anything today on Wednesday, they'll be taking
their classes at home remotely. The reason these illegal
immigrants stayed the night here is because New York was facing a
severe weather alert of heavy rain potential flooding and
winds around 70 miles per hour. And given that they were staying
in tents, 2000 families with children moved to the high
school out of an overabundance of caution. The city had heavy
rains and high winds overnight on Tuesday, but it's been
clearing up on Wednesday. local elected officials are arguing
that this problem was foreseeable due to
vulnerabilities during severe weather, and that the location
and Floyd Bennett field was not a good place to set up an
immigrant shelter. And how are the parents feeling about the
move? The New York Post reported that at least one woman said to
be a local parent shouted at the illegal immigrants as they
arrived at this high school. Moreover, what about working
parents who want their children to have adult supervision while
they're at work? Many questions remain. Since mid 2022. Over
160,000 illegal immigrants have entered New York City, a so
called sanctuary city and many of them have been bused from
Texas, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that increase could
destroy New York City.
Adam Curry: Yeah, New York City. That's like saying destroy
democracy. Right? This
John C Dvorak: is coming from Adams.
Adam Curry: It seems so obvious now, the way it unfolds. And
just presuming that, that, you know, politicians don't run they
just do whatever they're told. Everything goes to crap. Trump
becomes president and signs a whopper a whopper of a stimulus
and then refinances the whole country. With the perfect to
refi.
John C Dvorak: Bill, he's a refi guy.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I might go to, you know, to International
Criminal Court for overvaluing the United States but so there
was this, this other outrage, which also squarely fell in our
camp, which was the Taylor Swift, NATO op op. Did you catch
this?
John C Dvorak: I caught part of it, but I didn't really pay much
attention because I'm kind of sickened by the Taylor Swift op,
well, in the first place, so even
Adam Curry: Jesse waters, you know, like, oh, Taylor Swift,
you know, they would NATO would you'd want to use her as an
Optima and they play this very, very short clip, which to me is
always like, that stinks. I'm gonna go look at the full thing.
And it's actually if they had taken three seconds to evaluate
what's really going on this clip, it's much better. So the
idea here is is a presentation at the NATO let me see I have
the the 11th International Conference on cyber conflict,
also known as cyber cyber sigh con. organised by the NATO
Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence. So they have this
this young woman and she's presenting influence operations
I O influence operations and how you can use them and she talks
about utilizing famous people which da and they have a picture
and they have a picture of Taylor Swift now had these these
these while Jesse waters is is m five M but this was a lot of
this was and of course everyone tagging you you are right now
it's much worse than that. Yeah, much. The woman who's presenting
space Alicia Marie Barger or Barger. Now listen carefully.
She's a research engineer at Johns Hopkins. There we go. Even
more interesting. This clip is from 2019 August 2019. We are
now talking just a few months before the pandemic. Now it
becomes a little more interesting if you listened a
little bit before that short clip and a little bit after
here's the intro. Finally,
Unknown: you want to you came in here wanting to understand how
you just go out there and calculating that information.
Well,
John C Dvorak: he's got that same cadence, then the, you
know, the advertising, whatever you want to call it, the Lisa
Monaco. She's part of the milieu of these douchebags.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's much worse remember August 2019. Finally,
Johns Hopkins,
Unknown: you want to you came in here wanting to understand how
you just go out there and countering that inflammation
operation? Well, this is the you know, this is kind of the the
last step. The network interventions are actually
developed within the public health domain. And so these are
the ones I'm going to give you are going to provide examples
from health. So the idea is that social influence can help can
help encourage or promote behavior change. And the theory
here is essentially that this sort of approach works as well.
With regards to misinformation. It's important to recognize that
this could be you know, this is an ethically concerning thing to
go out there and to try to change hearts and minds. But
it's important to think about how would we actually do this in
a way that would work with people so potentially as like a
peaceful information operation?
Adam Curry: So she's talking about Information Operations,
she's talking about health. Well, that's interesting. Ben
from health, remember 2020 election year from health, she
goes to politics with Taylor Swift.
Unknown: So the first one, that's the most famous and the
most, most common, is working with famous people, or main
influencers to share information or particular message. So I
include Taylor Swift in here, because she's, you know, she's a
fairly influential online person. I don't know if you've
heard of her. But she's actually this is a cropped image, but
she's standing next to a you know, go vote sign. And actually
celebrities, at least in the US, regularly will post pictures of
themselves with an encouragement to people to go vote and this
has a measurable effect on voter turnout. Now, when it comes to
counting and IO, that particular message, one needs to consider
whether or not the opinion leader actually wants to share
that message, because it may or may not be popular, and they may
or may not know how to share it without accidentally increasing
more in misinformation. However, this is one that's relatively
accessible and understandable approach.
Adam Curry: Very successful, understandable because
information. Influence operations are normal fare,
normal fare of now she's talking about health in August of 2019.
She's talking about voting in 2019. And let's just bring it
home Johns Hopkins.
Unknown: Finally, alteration, changing individuals or
relationships within a network. This isn't necessarily as to
make it more clear think of vaccination. This is actually
education or teaching people particularly those and prominent
areas from which they could spread misinformation how to
recognize it and counter it themselves, can help can help
stop misinformation in its place? They
Adam Curry: were ready. They were ready for vaccination
hesitancy, they were ready for health issues. They are ready
for the election year. This is rife. And you know, I just use
Taylor Swift. You probably don't they probably can't afford
Taylor Swift. But this is they were ready for this. Isn't this
around the same time as event? 201?
John C Dvorak: A two a one is the this was 2019. Yeah.
Adam Curry: August 2019. was
John C Dvorak: about to say it's in it's within a six month I
think of 20 of the event, which was also at Johns Hopkins.
Adam Curry: August 23. Don't
John C Dvorak: forget don't forget
Adam Curry: August 25 2019. Was event 201.
John C Dvorak: And don't forget to map the map. Yeah, remember
the map the deaths map that Johns Hopkins released?
Adam Curry: And the numbers well, then the numbers every
John C Dvorak: day is all over the place? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. The death map. So Johns Hopkins is bad news.
John C Dvorak: Well, seems so that's where our the guy that
used to listen to our show for a long time, even though he hated
the fact that we were reporting Trump haters. Oh, yeah, he was
out of Johns Hopkins. Finally at the end, speaking of economic
hitmen influence
Adam Curry: operations, Norman Lear, influenza, numero uno.
Would you believe this? He got saved one year before his death
at 108 when he was 100.
John C Dvorak: Again, what did he say? Well,
Adam Curry: he, I mean, he got in under the wire. He won't go
to hell. You won't go to hell. You got saved? Yeah, we
John C Dvorak: don't know that. Yeah. I mean if he really you
don't know that you haven't visited hell Well, I mean it was
the last time you went to Austin that you go so I got some Brett
Weinstein stuff that
Adam Curry: I was hoping to stay away from that but you liked
John C Dvorak: I believe my my clips are well chose let me ask
you a question.
Adam Curry: Is that guy's forehead jacked with Botox or
what? I
John C Dvorak: don't know what to his problem is not moving.
I'm not a big fan. He is not I'm
Adam Curry: not either.
John C Dvorak: I mean, Eric I can tolerate a little more like
Heather.
Adam Curry: So Brett was on Tucker and Johnny brought
John C Dvorak: this references eluding me
Adam Curry: his wife, Brett Weinstein's
John C Dvorak: wife. Oh, yeah. pitches are in here, which I
don't think she was on here with him wish Oh,
Adam Curry: no buts. I like her on the potty. She's much more.
Yes. Why is your forehead number Peter Griffin
John C Dvorak: falls on the ground. Okay. This Bret
Weinstein on Tucker talking about the VAX. Now what irks me
I mean, I this analysis is great. But somehow, Brett throws
himself into the mix. Oh, he loves doing that. As though he
had something to do with anything. Oh, no, he he's
Adam Curry: the one that debunked COVID. He's deep. He
warned everybody for the VAX, he did not know he did. All in he
was pro Vax. I know, he is very I find
John C Dvorak: it. So I find these annoying these clips, but
I have them. Because I think he makes a couple of points. Maybe
you know, he's like maybe touching the truth here, here
and there. And it's worth listening to they're not that
long, he took the last one, which is sort of the second one
was kind of long.
Unknown: But here we go. Even if the thing had turned out to be
harmless, nobody could know that it was so it wasn't safe. And
for them to assure us that it was was alive from the get go.
That's what caused Heather and me to start looking into it. And
the deeper we dug, the crazier the story got not safe and
ineffective, in fact, harmful and shockingly ineffective at
everything that you might want it to be effective at. So the
story is a an odd one. The fact that that small number of
dissidents, was able to up end the narrative was able to bring
people's awareness to the massive levels of harmony and
effectiveness of the shots is in some ways, the most surprising
element of the story. And I think it truly surprised pharma
and its partners in social media and government and
nongovernmental organizations. I think they thought that they
owned enough of the media that they could sell us any narrative
that they wished. And I think surprising as it is, they didn't
really understand that podcasts could possibly be a
countervailing force of significance.
Adam Curry: Wow, welcome to 20 years later, Brett. Has he
repented anywhere? He's you said, hey, you know, I was
wrong. In the beginning. I was wrong. No, no, he's just
walking. Waltzing. Right. I mean, he will I would be okay.
If you said, you know, even I thought in the beginning, well,
vaccines, you know, this well, a
John C Dvorak: lot of get a lot of hot shots have done exactly
that. Yeah. And it's fine to do that he for some reason. He's
kind of like one of those guys who could never say he was
wrong. He would he's just one of those professorial type that
just can't say he was wrong. In fact, he goes just the opposite
and says, Well, you know, I was probably right all along. Yeah,
exactly. So go podcasting. So he goes on with a little more of a
elaborate Spiel here in this clip, podcasts
Unknown: could possibly be the best
Adam Curry: invention ever, a countervailing force
Unknown: of significance. If you own NBC News, that's enough. You
would say All righty, you know, it's it's it's failing to update
from the buying by the barrel. Totally aphorism. So what
happened?
John C Dvorak: Let's just stop, stop. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: have to Yeah, go ahead. I gotta say something
about you know
John C Dvorak: what the buying by the barrel aphorism is? I
have no idea what that is. Yeah, I figured the buying by the
barrel aphorism which I don't even know if Tucker knows what
it means. But it's an old saying that used to be. Don't be
talking about getting into a beef with a publisher. Don't get
into an argument by someone who buys ink by the barrel.
Adam Curry: Oh, interesting. Thank you for that. That's good,
good knowledge. That's
John C Dvorak: an old journalism aphorism. And so he just tosses
that out there in kind of lackluster way. And I thought
immediately then no one's gonna know what he's talking about
when he says so I felt obliged to explain it. But the funny
thing is I started thinking about that, the buying by the by
buying ink by the barrel, because on the internet, there
is no ink. So we all have the ability to buy ink by the barrel
now because it's all just well
Adam Curry: hold on a second. You're, I mean, now you're
making a fallacy because people believe that their phone is the
internet and that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, that's the
internet people have, we have an entire generation who don't know
how to publish on the internet.
John C Dvorak: Other than well taken. Now let's get back
tonight. And
Adam Curry: I would like to point out that it was right at
the beginning of COVID that I started because it's not
podcasts were owned by Apple. Apple started throwing people
off around 2019 in like Stones concert and consequent space
with Facebook and Twitter and everyone's throwing these guys
off. That's when I started podcasting to point. Oh, so
Brett Weinstein. The reason that you will hear your podcast is
because if it wasn't for me, no, that's right. That's Thank you.
Where's my Nobel Prize? Nobel Peace Prize on casts
Unknown: could possibly be a countervailing force of
significance. If you own NBC News. It's enough, you would say
alright, if you know it's it's failing to update from the
buying by the barrel. Totally aphorism. So what happened was,
it turned out that a number of us were willing to make mistakes
and correct them in real time to talk about this in plain English
with Wow,
Adam Curry: a number of us us truth seekers, we were we were
out there on the cutting edge.
John C Dvorak: Imagine, wow, cool. Let me compare what he did
and how he did it to like Sherry Tenpenny. And
Adam Curry: how about our show, and within two weeks, we're at
the
John C Dvorak: absolute beginning of the whole thing.
But I caught it early. And
Adam Curry: that's okay. Because I don't need to be on Tucker
telling him how great we are. I would I
Unknown: wouldn't do that public. We just cared about
Adam Curry: our own people. That's all we cared about and
Unknown: to do so you know, and Joe Rogan's man cave, and NK The
fact is, people listened because of course, this was on
everybody's mind and what they were supposed to do to protect,
you know, they'd been terrified. And what to do to protect your
family's health was a question that everybody wants to know the
answer to. So our ability to reach millions of people
surprise those who thought they were just gonna shove this
narrative down our throats. And this gets me to the the WHO, the
World Health Organization and its pandemic preparedness plan
modifications. What I believe is going on is the World Health
Organization is now revising the structures that allowed the
dissidents to upend the narrative. And they are looking
for a rematch, I think what they want are the measures that would
have allowed them to silence the podcasters to mandate various
things internationally in a way that would prevent the emergence
of a control group that would allow us to see harms clearly.
So that's the reason that I think people as much as they
want to move on from thinking about COVID. Maybe stop thinking
about COVID. But do start thinking about what has taken
place with respect to medicine with respect to public health,
with respect to pharma, and ask yourself the question, given
what you now know, would you want to meet live a pandemic
like the COVID pandemic? Without the tools that allowed you to
ultimately in the end see clearly that it didn't make
sense to take another one of the shots or to have your kids take
your national treasure? Brett we want those tools in fact we need
them and something is quietly moving just out of sight in
order that we will not have access to them the next time we
face a serious emergency.
Adam Curry: Wow, I'm so happy you brought this clip bull crap.
I've fixed that. It's fixed. Oh,
John C Dvorak: that's the point. This is one of the reasons for
the clip that it's not a bunch of people but I'm just that you
may have been sensing this same thing he's discussing that
actually happened after you sensed it. And it would probably
took place during the the weirdness well round Alex Jones
in particular cause exactly why it was a concerted I mean, it
was a conspiracy.
Adam Curry: Literal, literal conspiracy. They took off X 22
report that By the way,
John C Dvorak: they right, I forgot all about x 22. Yeah. The
Spotify
Adam Curry: takes off at least two shows a day. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: And but you know, but now it's it's meaningless
with the podcasting. 2.0. Correct. And I think yes, when I
just thought, what he his, the way he sees it is pretty much
like a confirmation of what you already did. Yeah. And I'm not,
I'm not here to do, you know, just compliment Caesar. But
there, you know,
Adam Curry: but but I want to say, there are hundreds,
literally hundreds of software developers who have their own
day jobs. And they've been working on this for the past
three and a half years. Amongst other things for this very
reason. That's why they joined up. It's like this is bullcrap
Apples to Apples taking stuff down. It's not reliable. So we
had to create a new index. And we're now in the process of
decentralizing it. So they can't come and take it away.
John C Dvorak: There you go. So let's go to part three, it's
almost
Unknown: impossible to exaggerate how troubling what is
being discussed it. In fact, I think it is fair to say that we
are in the middle of a coup, that we are actually facing the
elimination of our national and our personal sovereignty. And
that that is the purpose of what is being constructed, that it
has been written in such a way that your your eyes are supposed
to glaze over. It's right, as you attempt to sort out, what is
it? What is under discussion. And if you do that, then come
May of this year, your nation is almost certain to sign on to an
agreement that in some utterly vaguely described future
circumstance, a public health emergency, which the Director
General of the World Health Organization has total liberty
to define in any way that he sees fit. In other words,
nothing prevents climate change from being declared a public
health emergency that would trigger the provisions of these
modifications. And in the case that some emergency or some
pretense of an emergency shows up the provisions that would
kick in are beyond genre.
Adam Curry: So I hope he explained how it works because
we've covered it extensively. It's the pandemic preparedness
treaty, the World Health Organization he does it goes on
and on which was is already in place and the thinking is that
they can update that without it having to be ratified again
would like a EULA.
Unknown: Yeah, exactly.
Adam Curry: You like to
John C Dvorak: us. That's it. That's what set this sort of
idea and place within the document it says we can change
it. And so once you agree to that, they just changed right
from under but pull the rug out right from under yet.
Adam Curry: Now he has a point about the climate change. I
don't think we played this clip is from a couple shows ago. This
is Ted Ross, but knows all about Dez.
Unknown: Our food systems are harming the health of people and
planet. Food Systems contribute to oversee 30% of greenhouse gas
emissions, and account for almost 1/3 of the global burden
of disease, or reforming food systems is therefore essential
by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant based
diets. If food systems delivered healthy diets for all, we could
save a bone in lives per year. Nordic countries have been Trail
Blazers for many policy breakthroughs, including for
linking climate and nutrition, who is committed to supporting
countries to develop and implement policies to improve
diets and fight climate change last year, under the leadership
of the Egyptian cop, 27 presidency, who and our partners
launched icon, the Initiative on Climate Action and nutrition.
The icon baseline report currently shows low integration
of climate and nutrition in policies in funding mechanisms,
and particularly in the private sector. I'm therefore very
pleased that over 130 countries have signed the coop 28 UAE
Declaration on climate and health together, we can protect
and promote the health of both people and planet. I thank you.
Adam Curry: So you already nailed it. Stop eating beef. Go
eat your bugs. World Health Organization biggest donor has
always been the Gates Foundation. Here's Bill Gates
the back it up time You're
Unknown: in July. And of course I flew in on my private jet.
Very, very important meeting. The issue of you peasants eating
bugs will be discussed at length that's never gotten the
attention it deserves the issue of COVID-19 not killing off
enough poor people and my vaccines not weeding out the
rest of you bastards, which is a tragedy of course. We'll talk
about using killer robots next cat absolutely solve that
problem.
John C Dvorak: This is okay, now your ambition about AI now
you're using it for this show? Well,
Adam Curry: this is the only good use of AI Hello, I have
this only good use of AI.
John C Dvorak: Here's to follow up on on the Tedros clip here is
David Icke.
Adam Curry: Ike Yes. Also on podcasting 2.0. These days,
Unknown: the Netherlands, the second biggest exporter of food
in the world is targeting farmers to destroy them and get
them off the land, which is where all these farming protests
in the Netherlands have come from. At a time of food
shortages and supply chain problems. You are targeting the
second biggest exporter of food in the bloody world to destroy
its farming base.
Why are you doing that?
If people depend on you for what's left of the food you
control with food is abundant and cheap. You do not control
where energy is cheap and abundant. You do not control
scarcity equals dependency equals control. And that's why
they're targeting the food chain. They're targeting energy
supply. They're targeting everything.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and this flows right into the big German
protests, which is now turning into a strike a multicountry
strike. Here's how Deutsche Avella characterize it just
their intro alone tells you that the pay no attention
Unknown: please farmers across Germany have begun a week long
strike to protest the government's plans to cut
agricultural fuel subsidies. Lawmakers have already rolled
back that decision after weeks of angry demonstrations.
Protests planned for the next seven days include rallies that
will disrupt traffic in several regions. A procession of
tractors is expected to block off a central road here in
Berlin as farmers bring their frustrations to the government's
doorstep now okay,
Adam Curry: blah, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, and I'll give
her this I was I've never been a big fan but I'm starting to like
her more Eva flirting of Brooke. She's the one that pops up
everywhere. She's the darling of the ALT and alt right all the
alternative media and even right this alternative media, I'll
give it to her she was out there in the snow on on the big
highway talking to the farmers, the truckers people waiting
behind. And
Unknown: I pulled the clip and this is the most frequent
highway in Germany, the most used highway, actually in
Europe, to be honest with you. So wow, it's not it's not normal
to stand here. For now we are we are sick of lies, we are sick of
trying to get rid of our jobs. It's not a nice farmers. It's
the lorry drivers. It's the normal workers, everybody is
sick of politicians who have no idea what they're talking about
no education, to tell us how our lifestyles should look like. And
this is the result for years trying to get in contact with
politicians talking to them on an equal level, but they won't
listen. And now we have no other choice than to demonstrate. And
it's our right. Yes. One of the highest rights, especially in
Germany. Yeah. Demonstrating. We are not violent, or friendly.
You can see we have a we have a small gap. And people can drive
to these ambulances. Everybody can come through. But this is
only this is only the tip of the tip of the iceberg to be honest.
Because all over Germany we have this is the west with Dutch
farmers coming over to support Yes. And we have Hungarian
Thomas, Polish farmers, and we are all united in getting rid of
politicians who are trying to get rid of us. I'll give
Adam Curry: it to Brett Weinstein there indeed. You'll
only hear this on podcast and the polish of the show. It's not
just the farmers now it's the truckers, bakers and they're
sick of it. And of course we have the the rise of more
conservative politicians. The Netherlands just had feared
builders and immediately the media brands that is far right
you're far right in Germany. Now we got to take it even further.
We can have the alternative for Deutschland if de we can't have
those guys starting to take over our
Unknown: far right Alternative for Germany has been surging in
pre election polls, writing The wave of anti immigrant
sentiment. Officially, the party calls for faster deportations of
declined asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. But this
week investigative media organization corrective
published hidden camera footage showing the AfD might be
considering forcing out citizens as well. In November AFD,
leaders secretly met in hotel with donors and members of neo
Nazi movements to discuss what they call free migration. It
involves a large scale deportation project targeting
German residents of foreign origin deemed insufficiently
assimilated, even if they have citizenship. Yet Texas does.
This shows that even high ranking AFD politicians have
expressed radical right wing positions in a closed room home
these are things they would never say publicly, you know,
keeping bulletin AFD
said Wednesday that re migration would not become part of its
official platform. Nonetheless, the Party remains fiercely
opposed to immigration, even as the German economy minister has
called for increased immigration to solve a shortage of workers.
The AFD faces risks for its far right stances. The party is
under investigation in several states and at risk of being
declared extremist which would exclude it from elections.
Adam Curry: Does your Nazis your Nazis go away? You can't be in
the election. You're Nazis. Do you want to deport people I'm
sorry, re emigrate, whatever that means. Yeah, so the media
is not good for your health people. I really isn't. They do
not care about you are themselves too dumb. Only the
dumbest people get into these jobs. Now it seems.
John C Dvorak: And even discuss that.
Adam Curry: Can I go back to to AI for one second?
John C Dvorak: A Yeah. Yeah. I have one. I have a one off clip
that I could drop in here. All right, but it would change the
subject.
Adam Curry: Let me just do the AI real quick. Yeah. Because the
big consumer electronics show is taking place in Vegas, which of
course yeah, AI is the theme this year. It is the theme.
Yeah. Now, back in the day. Back in the day. You were you're kind
of like a hero at CES was Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're writing
theories
John C Dvorak: priorities. I'd have to divorce you get there
shortly.
Adam Curry: You did the chili cook off. That was the Comdex I
was at Comdex. Oh, but see, but everyone would wait for your
beer snark to come out of sickness people love.
Unknown: Those days are over.
Adam Curry: What do you mean? What do you do twice a week
here? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, never Different. Different audience.
Adam Curry: I mean, people fawn over you, you know, going to the
back of PC Magazine as they do over me at headbangers ball. I'm
telling you that hard to fork. I love that guy. Boy, he's not
dead. He's still here. I love that guy. So what is what are
the there's a couple things that we have always called bull crap
on. Bull crap. What am I hearing? Is that you? I'm
hearing some kind of hum nothing is coming from you.
John C Dvorak: What are you buzz? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Uh hum. Like, periodic homes. Like, are you
leaning on something? Yeah. So micro payments, like all that.
micro payments can do micro payments and make them well
actually, podcasting. 2.0 has micro payments, but we'll leave
that aside. The other thing is the smart refrigerator. Oh,
yeah, it's back. ponents like, Is that done? Are you back is
back with with a frenzy? Yes. And, and now that this so
whenever I hear this, I know that this whole thing is
bullcrap. The whole CES is filled with the stupid they got
monitors with AI heads talking. They've got robots that are
serving drinks. Really, this literally
John C Dvorak: happened to the talking cat that was had a
YouTube channel. That was some good AI. That was good stuff.
Adam Curry: So here it is. Finally, it's here.
Unknown: We've all heard the scary predictions that
artificial intelligence could spell the end of humanity but AI
is already here or soon will be in places as common as a living
room or the kitchen. This high tech refrigerator is powered by
AI and it also has eyes.
The fridge sees I just put in a tomato. A built
in camera allows it to see food that's put in and taken out and
it uses that information to give out suggestions. Don't give up
for a while do
so the fridge will be able to say you've got these items, you
should try this recipe. Or if you have this food item that
expires in two days, you should use it. So AI allows the fridge
to keep track of its contents in an environmentally responsible
way.
So artificial intelligence is everywhere at this year. See,
the huge popularity of chat GPT has helped make it inescapable
AI will soon be in our cars to this French startup has
attracted several major automakers by creating an
augmented reality dashboard, along with a virtual co pilots.
That's
what sets AI apart is that it will remember your requests and
answers over time. You better conversations tend to be more
intuitive. That sounds fancy, and it's more effective than
looking at a screen and pressing on it.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's more effective than pressing a
button. Is this really this is really what what this revolution
is about? I'm sorry, they've gotten nothing. We've been
hearing about this. I mean, to me, this whole thing sounded
like Mac world when the Newton came out. I was there. I was one
of those dopes.
Unknown: Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: He does. Handwriting recognition. Kind of let me
squirt over my address my my contact card to you. Well,
John C Dvorak: I forgot about squirting squirt. score was the
word. Yes. Squirting rose.
Adam Curry: I wonder if I hope I still have my Newton somewhere.
John C Dvorak: Oh, you probably do your auction item is I've
ever got one I don't think ever had to
Adam Curry: I had the original which I went to Boston to go get
I was so excited. And then by the time I'm on the plane home
like this thing kind of sucks. Doesn't really, you know, it's
like, oh no connect to a modem. Have you ever tried to do your
password writing on the Newton? Trust me? Impossible. The whole
thing is just this is nothing. That's all they had. They didn't
have anything interesting. I looked at all the reports
nothing interesting. Nothing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I saw that report about the refrigerator
cracked up. Yeah, you know, I don't want a refrigerator. Why?
What is the refrigerator didn't even know how to cook, let alone
offer me recipe suggest a avid tomato. Why don't you do this?
screw yourself. I bought that tomato for a reason not to get
he listened to your guff?
Adam Curry: Yeah, it means you just go willy nilly and just oh,
I just need some tomatoes. I hope my fridge can help me out
what to do with them. I got no idea.
John C Dvorak: So I have a very short clip about the Alaska
airline thing. Yes, it was pointed out to me by Mimi. Yeah,
I
Adam Curry: was wrong. I was wrong. I'm well, I'm happy to
say it. But I do have questions about this. Well, you're wrong.
What do you mean, you're wrong about less seats versus more
seats? Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah, no, you're right. We have just the
opposite. But I haven't we do have a note from a guy that I
could bring it up everyone. We have a note from a guy and it
was the idea was to have more leg room. It
Adam Curry: was just a no, no, no, no, hold on. I said this, is
this what he said? I know, but this is where I disagree. You
need to have one emergency exit every 50 passengers every 50
seats. Right. So the reason they didn't have that is because
there were less seats.
John C Dvorak: Right. But the reason for less seats was to
give people more legroom
Adam Curry: upfront maybe if all seats count not just the seats
in the back. I think it's for the first or business class
believe me no airline in their right mind is saying oh I want
to give people more or less
John C Dvorak: I'm not going to argue that okay, I'm just saying
this kind of what he implied but a lot of that's not what this
clips about. Okay. This clip is about something what was the now
this plane took off? Do you remember? It took off? How long
was it in the air before this thing blew out? I was
Adam Curry: at 16,000 feet so I don't know probably 20 minutes
and 1520 minutes and they
John C Dvorak: flew right back? Yeah, they turned around
immediately flew back which I understand was 18 minutes to get
back. Now that makes sense. So tell me how it works with this
particular report. This is the Alaska Air BS. AC
Unknown: this morning the door plug that flew off and Alaska
Airlines flight in midair leaving this gaping hole behind
now found after a three day search the NTSB locating it in
the backyard of a Portland school teacher. The discovery
coming as authorities revealed no data can be pulled from the
cockpit voice recorder because it was completely
overwritten
at two hours it writes it rerecord so for it so we have
nothing from the CVR
Adam Curry: That's correct.
John C Dvorak: It wasn't in flight for two hours. Oh 20
minutes up 80 minutes back. Where's the two hours? Very
Adam Curry: well met? Yeah. Yeah, someone someone messed up
there.
John C Dvorak: This is a cover up. Oh, Well, I'm hearing maybe
the cover up you may have suggested, which is a pilot
error. Well,
Adam Curry: so here I'm getting more information and, and I'm
just, this is all information I'm getting from people who are
aviators and I trust them. Some people will I mean, I'm getting
emails like you're discrediting the show from the pilot. Yes,
okay. Same guy. No, this is different guy cuz like him
because No, no, actually, that guy ended with Hey, man, I saw
you on Rogen, with your you witness to God that God bless.
First he yells at me. It appears that this is, so when it comes
to the pressurization. There's two systems at pressurization is
automatic, but there was a failure notice. And then there
was a second failure when they switched to the second system,
which would kind of be Hey, can you breathe? I can breathe.
Yeah, I can be this fine. You feel okay. Yeah. Because you
know, you've been talking about hypoxia. And they were 16,000
feet. So at 16,000 feet, you're you have ample time to do
something. You're not out of oxygen at 16,000 feet. It starts
to get a little wonky after a while. But it appears that these
bolts that day, were either not properly installed after
maintenance, or from the factory for the door plug and that the
door is probably leaking. And that's where the warnings came
from. So there was all kinds of issues. But what I'm hearing now
from Air Force, and naval airman is they're all They're all given
up on Boeing, they're all training on Airbus, because they
want careers after you know, after their service. They want
to be on air buses. There is a huge distrust of Boeing in the
aviation community. And we've always talked about it could be
sabotage for all you know, we've always talked about Airbus
versus Boeing. And Boeing has had a couple of problems
John C Dvorak: well now their inspectors are going out and
finding loose bolts are loose bolts Yeah. How does that
happen? There's no quality control control at bowling makes
no or is it sabotage? Because you we this is revisiting
something from listeners years and years and producer this was
get over a decade ago that you brought forth for this thesis
because we got we started to see planes dropping from the sky
look first at Boeing and then an Airbus Yeah.
Adam Curry: That's right. It would be one for one we'd be
keeping score.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, if there is if it was like okay, you It's
like watching the mob. You killed Billy you know, was so
you know, Denise gotta go. So it was like that.
Unknown: Yeah. Well, then there's this story and for
anyone who ever dropped their iPhone and had a crack, a head
scratcher tonight, Sean Bates from Oregon out walking, he
found one of the iPhones sucked from that plane at 16,000 feet.
He called the NTSB, the screen was not cracked. In fact, it had
a message about the passengers baggage. Incredible.
Adam Curry: Incredible is right. Come on.
John C Dvorak: Okay, I believe it's possible,
Adam Curry: though. I believe it's possible, but why not get
the person whose iPhone it is if it's unlocked, you can see who
it belongs to get that person. This is the same as where's the
shirt got ripped off his body? Yeah, who
John C Dvorak: was where's that? Yeah, that bothers me too. That
they don't do the although they're so lazy. They find an
iPhone like the guy who loves you get a hold of it. Yeah, it's
too much work.
Adam Curry: And who knows all of this could be Bull. I mean, I
love how calm everybody was with a big gaping hole. That was
pretty amazing. That was a very very calm cabin
John C Dvorak: was like hey, you seem to be some at least one or
two people shrieking we don't have any
Adam Curry: any of that. And supposedly, this was another
weird one. The decompression event was so so severe that the
cockpit door blew open that's not supposed to happen
John C Dvorak: that's yes that's right that was reported
Adam Curry: reinforced you know so so people with box cutters
can't get through oh boy we're getting real deep now all and we
can't trust anything because because it's so the reporting is
so poor all will be revealed this year this is the year the
big reveal. I'm telling you it's all going to happen all this is
going to happen
Unknown: yeah
John C Dvorak: I got some I got this report the Epstein last
Doc's.
Adam Curry: Oh goodness. Another distraction of the week. The
newest one. No, yeah, I'm all in
Unknown: the newest batch of unsealed Jeffrey Epstein.
documents released Tuesday show the hike Cost allegedly paid for
sex with a teenager, Virginia Giuffre an Epstein accuser said
Epstein paid her $15,000 to have sex with Britain's Prince Andrew
in 2011. Bomb she says she was 17. At the time Prince Andrew
has repeatedly denied they had sex. He has also denied that he
ever met her, the 1482 pages released or the last set to be
made public. They include several depositions from Glenn
Maxwell one from Epstein, one from jus Frey, and another from
Sara ransom and alleged adult victim of Epstein. The records
are part of a defamation lawsuit brought by Giuffre against
Maxwell Epstein's longtime companion. The case settled in
2017. Included in the heavily redacted documents or
allegations do Frey was directed to have sex with other high
profile men, such as Glenn Dubin, a billionaire hedge fund
manager, and billionaire retail magnate les Wexner. Both men
have denied you phrase claims former President Trump was also
identified in the depositions. fray said she met the former
president but didn't see him doing anything improper. But
ransom claimed in 2016 emails to a New York Post columnist that
Trump was involved in Epstein sex trafficking, she later
retracted the claim in a follow up email.
Adam Curry: The world is in so much peril in so many ways, but
yet this is what occupies everybody yet.
John C Dvorak: Well, the better part of this is what Jim
Gaffigan said at the at the globes. Oh, hold on a second. So
Gaffigan goes up to give some awards out. And and this is what
he said.
Adam Curry: I can't even believe I'm in the entertainment
industry. I can't I you know, it's so unlikely I'm from a
small town in Indiana. I'm not a pedophile. You know, I just I
don't know if that's a new category here
John C Dvorak: but
Adam Curry: we decided we were not going to watch that. I just
really didn't want to watch it. I just didn't know I missed
that. That's pretty funny. He's doing a Ricky Gervais there it's
pretty a
John C Dvorak: pull one off he got written got away with it.
There was some bells that there's somebody also was up
there insulting Taylor Swift on there. That was
Adam Curry: the host
John C Dvorak: was terrible. I mean, did you watch
Adam Curry: it? You watch the golden you watch the Golden
Globes?
John C Dvorak: I watch all these worship do what I did is I had
it taped.
Adam Curry: Okay, so you sped through all the boring was any
hurt?
John C Dvorak: And I heard about the Gaffigan thing. So I went
and got that. And then the rest of it. I talked to some people
who watch the old thing and they told me what to look for. Was it
an African thing was the main thing was anything
Adam Curry: else was any good? No. With any with any movies
that we had heard of? That's the main thing. Yeah. Oppenheimer
John C Dvorak: won most of the awards. And then Barbie won a
couple. Yeah. And then there's a couple other things and most of
the same old, same old girl sitting there in the audience.
And, you know, yeah, meanwhile, it wasn't that it wasn't really
that much of a killer event.
Adam Curry: Now, no one cares anymore. The entertainment
business in the mainstream, I think is dead. I don't even know
why Taylor Swift goes to that why she going? She
John C Dvorak: got suckered into going because they created a
whole new category for her Eros movie
Adam Curry: that she wanted to get her to go Did she win? I
John C Dvorak: don't know to be honest about it. But whatever
the case is, I look at these things and say what these guys
are shooting themselves in the foot because for example, the
Emmys give out more of the awards, go to cabled shows. Now
they don't broadcast TV is given the short, the short end of the
of the whatever short stick the stick. They're given the short
end of the stick, and they give everything to one cable have
their own awards. Cable, I don't get why they're doing that they
shouldn't be on broadcast TV. They should be promoting
broadcast TV with awards. But isn't it?
Adam Curry: Streamers as well podcast,
John C Dvorak: for example, the Podcast Awards are being given
to people who are just repurposing old PBS shows that
they shouldn't get any awards for that. That's why we should
do podcasting awards and do it right the
Adam Curry: sort of the podcast Hall of Fame awards or induct
induction ceremony is taking place in a couple of weeks in
Florida at pod fest. Pod fest pod fest. Yes. And our buddy
Michael Butler being inducted into the Hall of Fame and
rightly so I think rightly so.
John C Dvorak: Did he ask me he's been doing that show
forever. He
Adam Curry: asked you to induct him. No, no, he asked me and I
declined. So I'm not gonna
John C Dvorak: know he didn't ask me anything. I figured he
thinks I'm a schmuck. I guess you know, he
Adam Curry: loves you. What are you talking about? Really good.
It
John C Dvorak: asked me I would have done it.
Adam Curry: Will you go to Florida? No. Yeah.
Unknown: Please. And meanwhile, the firmament still
impenetrable. The first US mission to land in the moon in
more than 50 years is tonight, just hours after this morning's
launch Astrobotic technology five ad company behind the
mission, said the unmanned spacecraft developed a critical
fuel leak, the issue could prevent the Peregrine lander
from touching down February 23. As planned, it's not going to
John C Dvorak: make it of course, it's going to crash
land. Yeah. Yeah, whatever they do is they catch but there's
nobody in it. So it could be launched. Well,
Adam Curry: there's DNA, you know, some company who does a
burial on the moon for you so they had ashes and DNA of former
presidents. He's gonna get buried deep. It's not gonna
crash into the moon.
John C Dvorak: You don't think it's even on his way? Launched?
They can't
Adam Curry: get past the firmament No way. And now, on
the heels. On the heels of that, on the heels of that
Unknown: a commercial robotic mission to the moon will not
make it to the lunar surface. As NPRs Jeff Brumfield reports, the
probe has suffered a critical failure.
The small probe was launched on Monday by the company Astrobotic
shortly after reaching space it ran into trouble. The company
quickly realized that the spacecraft propulsion system had
sprung a leak causing it to tumble. They've regained
control, they've continued to lose propellant. They now say
they only have enough fuel to operate for about another day
and a half Bob the mission was the first of a series of NASA
backed commercial flights to the moon. NASA hopes that these
companies will one day ferry equipment and experiments to
astronauts on the lunar surface. Separately, the space agency
announced it is pushing back its first mission to send astronauts
to orbit the moon since the Apollo program. It will be
delayed until 2025 Jeff Brumfield and PR news blow your
nose
John C Dvorak: or something or stop using what are you using so
Adam Curry: everything's failing? And then Elon rockets
blow up Oh, that's a success. I'm sorry. It's considered a
success. We can't do it 50 years ago we walked on the moon
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry to round hit a golf ball again.
Adam Curry: The golf ball we got about that. Driving around in
the in the in the lunar rover what was that? What is it called
was called the rover the rover? Yeah, driving around and like a
dune buggy. Hey, bouncing on the moon. It was great. Not a
problem. Now the richest guys in the world can't make it happen.
The season of reveal is upon us. Bear everything will
everything's going to come out. And quantum computing is going
to be the next big thing. I know that you are now starting to see
what I'm seeing. No,
John C Dvorak: I mean, I saw something but I'm still not into
the I'm not all in because it's such a laughable technologies.
Let's do a three by three. Oh, that's
Adam Curry: a good idea. Now it's time for a three by three.
Oh yeah, baby experiment five. JC is a big experiment Parents
TV from ABC. John has three clips from the big networks,
ABC, NBC, CBS and we're going to compare them do they come from
one talking point? Are they from the White House? Is there
collusion? Or is it just dumb? Dumb journalism?
John C Dvorak: As we pointed out in the not just last newsletter,
but the one before they we have a producer that is an X major,
major, medium work news director and retired. Yes.
Adam Curry: And told us that basically they get all the stuff
from one main. Same name Joker, same source, the same clips,
they get it just here's your tape go put it together, put
your own guy or gal in there good
John C Dvorak: to go. Yes. And that's what we're seeing with
these clips.
Adam Curry: What is the topic for today?
John C Dvorak: What about the judges at Trump federal judge
story that don't reveal itself with the ABC clip
Unknown: today Donald Trump looking on in court as his
attorney tried to convince a skeptical panel of judges that
the foreign president should have complete immunity from
prosecution for trying to overturn the election he at
last. This was the central argument from Trump's lawyers
to authorize the prosecution of a president for his official
acts would open a Pandora's Box from which this nation may never
recover. Never
judge Florence pan immediately challenging that argument.
Could a president sell pardons or sell military secrets? Those
are official acts right. It's an official act to grant a pardon.
It's an official act to communicate with a foreign
government. You Trump's
attorney claiming a president must be impeached and convicted
by Congress before he can be charged with a crime. And
a president ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political
rival. That's an official act in order to seal team since
he would have to be in what speedily be impeached and
convicted before the criminal prosecution
judge pan pressing again, could a president who ordered SEAL
team sets to assassinate a political rival was not
impeached he'd be subject to criminal prosecution if
he were impeached and convicted first. And
so your answer is
Special Counsel, Prosecutor pounced.
What kind of world are we living in? If, as I understand my
friend on the other side to say here, a president orders his
SEAL team to assassinate a political rival, designed, for
example, before an impeachment, not a criminal act, President
sells a pardon, resigns or is not impeached, not a cry. I
think that is extraordinarily frightening future
come sat there emotionless, often taking notes and passing
them to his attorneys. He did not appear to make eye contact
with special counsel Jack Smith, who was also in court. But he
nodded emphatically at times. And when it was all over the
address reporters,
the President has to have immunity. And the other thing is
I did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong.
Adam Curry: You know, the sad thing is toll our toll our sends
me. I rarely use them. Because sometimes just not showing us
all but he sends me the C span clips. And there's definitely
people in our country. who are who are saved by this who now
think Trump might use SEAL Team Six to kill his rivals.
John C Dvorak: I love that one.
Adam Curry: I mean, who could How do you even come up with
this theory? Oh, sealed. Seal Team Six. You don't need to have
the, you know, the Chinook go down to assassinate someone was
SEAL Team Six.
John C Dvorak: So it's crazy. What's interesting is I'm
surprised nobody brought up the fact that Obama had authorized
the killing of two American citizens. Yeah, dad and his and
his son, dad and his son. And then it also, I think there was
another guy killed in the process. It was not. And if
Trump was found guilty of any of this stuff, I don't see why some
Republican gag get in office and then find Obama guilty of
premeditated murder.
Adam Curry: I should have also mentioned that, you know, Obama
killed SEAL Team Six. We all know that. Yeah. And there's
also that that minor minor boy who was
John C Dvorak: let's go to him. Same report, NBC. Tonight,
Unknown: a ruling expected anytime from the federal appeals
court, which appeared deeply skeptical today of Donald
Trump's efforts to derail the case about his attempts to
overturn the 2020 election. I
did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing. Well, as a president,
you have to have immunity. So
Adam Curry: they reverse the report and put the ending at the
beginning. Yeah, okay. All right. Nothing. Well, I
Unknown: feel that as a president, you have to have
immunity.
The Republican front runner watching on in court, his his
lawyer, John Sauer urged the three judge panel to break new
legal ground and find the former president immune from
prosecution emphasizing everything he's been charged for
took place when he was still in the White House. We
have the prosecution of the chief political opponent who is
winning in that report and is being prosecuted by the
administration that he's seeking to replace
while the Justice Department argues nothing in the
Constitution supports shielding Mr. Trump from prosecution now,
never before has there been allegations that a sitting
president has with private individuals and using the levers
of power such to fundamentally subvert the Democratic Republic
and the electoral system. It would be awfully scary if there
weren't some sort of mechanism by which to reach that.
criminally judge Florence pan a Biden appointee posing Stark
hypotheticals on what a future president could do if Mr.
Trump's view prevailed. Could
a president ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political
rival? The
answer in sours view? Yes. So long as the president was
impeached and convicted first spending much of his argument on
the Senate acquitting Mr. Trump at his 2021 impeachment trial, a
position DOJ cast as frightening. What kind
of world are we living in? The President has the constitutional
roll, but he is not above the law. Yeah,
Adam Curry: that same clips they just reversed the order. It's
pretty good. I think. Honestly, from a editing standpoint. I
think it was good to bring in the Trump thing first, get that
out of the way and not leave it last. But the ABC I liked the
SEAL Team Six at the beginning better I think that would have
kept people watching if I was to edit this.
John C Dvorak: Well, they did definitely scrambled these with
this exact Same clips just scrambled. Let's go to CBS which
I still maintain, does the best job of, of, I'd say creating a
dramatic
Unknown: moment. After arriving in a motorcade through the rain
Donald Trump sat in the front row as his attorney argued the
2020 election conspiracy criminal case against the former
president must be dismissed to
authorize the prosecution of a president for his official acts
would open a Pandora's Box from which this nation may never
recover. A
trial judge rejected his claim of presidential immunity last
year saying the former president doesn't enjoy a Get Out of Jail
Free card, which the prosecutor echoed today.
The President has a unique constitutional role, but he is
not above the law.
The appeals court appeared skeptical too, with one judge
calling it paradoxical for a president to swear an oath to
uphold the law yet be allowed to violate the law. Judge Florence
pan posed a pointed hypothetical that Trump's attorney could
a president who ordered SEAL team sets to assassinate a
political rival who was not impeached he be subject to
criminal prosecution
if he were impeached and convicted first, the
judges also pressed Trump's attorney when he acknowledged
the former president could be charged if he had been convicted
by the Senate and his 2021 impeachment.
If Donald Trump could have been
impeached and convicted and therefore could be prosecuted,
then how can they argue immunity at the same time? It's a
contradiction
that he claimed he was forced from the campaign trail by the
case Trump appeared in court voluntarily and addressed
cameras at his former DC hotel after they
feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. Very
simple. Same
Adam Curry: clip is all the same. So all the same. You know,
that also
John C Dvorak: brings up I would reiterate my comment about why
has Obama not been indicted for murder? Who cares? I do I don't
want to murdering people.
Adam Curry: No, I understand that. But we That's That's old
shows. Here's here's the mistake. They're all making the
media in particular, if the creative or AI Consulting Group,
if they could afford us if they could hire us. We would say
they're using the wrong words. They keep saying Donald Trump
tried to overturn overturn overturn the word they want is
overthrow they're making a mistake here overturn is a legal
process. If it was violent, they should use the word overthrow.
The first one to do that is smart, because it's just but
John C Dvorak: it fits into the what their real narrative is. I
agree with you, that would be a much better use of the much
better term to use if we were doing political consulting.
That's what we advise.
Adam Curry: Do we know what we're doing? Well meanwhile,
this is the drivel that your M five M shovels down your throat
all day long. An
Unknown: investigation is underway in Colorado following
reports that Republican congresswoman Lauren bowburn got
into a physical fight with her ex husband at a restaurant A
source tells The Daily Beast that Jason Bovard called police
claiming he was the victim of domestic violence. Police
confirmed the investigation last night. A statement from Lauren
bellbirds campaign said she did not punch her ex in the face and
no one was arrested. So
Adam Curry: so, you know, I
John C Dvorak: believe this is all true. But this up seems like
the type No, I mean, I don't want to generalize, but she does
seem like the type
Adam Curry: and I think reports are out today. That didn't
happen.
John C Dvorak: That's the type.
Adam Curry: Why is this news? Who cares? Who
John C Dvorak: cares? Just gossip. It's T m z?
Adam Curry: Yes. That will that's what it's become. Now.
What should happen? Is this I mean, I'd love to see this
happen in American television studios.
Unknown: Tonight. This is the chilling moment armed men
stormed the set of a public TV channel in Ecuador firing off
guns and waving apparent explosives during a live
broadcast. The studio crew taken hostage for at least 15 minutes
on air as the country watched. Police leader surrounding the
station arresting several suspects. And across Ecuador
fiery blast rocking multiple cities this one engulfing a
police car. The wave of violence beginning just hours after
Ecuador's president declared a state of emergency following a
prison escape by notorious most tornadoes gang leader Udolpho
Macias the government battling with what they say or at least
22 Different criminal groups angered by that state of
emergency. Tonight authorities say at least seven police
officers have been kidnapped Ecuador once known as one of
South America's most peaceful countries seeing an explosion in
recent years of organized crime related violence linked to
Mexican drug cartels. And David that state of emergency They
will remain in place for at least 60 days which gives the
country's military the right to enter some of the prisons.
They're criminals inside of which responsible for so much of
the violence we've seen recently.
Adam Curry: The footage was really interesting to the so
this gang breaks in and they shoot a couple shots in the air.
And they all got hoodies on there all the throwing gang
signs and the audio guy is out there miking him. He's like,
Hold on hold. Let me Mike. Yep, I want to get I want to get it.
All right, is putting on he's putting the Lavalier on.
John C Dvorak: That's great. Now I have the same Ecuador report,
but it's kind of slanted differently. It's pretty much
the same, but it's also put it at this and TD so to be
different in
Adam Curry: the context. This
Unknown: is in the D Ecuador's president says the country is at
war as drug gangs hold more than 130 prison staff hostage. Police
have made at least dozens of arrests and confiscated weapons,
Molotov cocktails and ammunition. So
we are practically living in a state of war against terrorism.
These are not organized crime groups. They are terrorists who
are financed by drug trafficking, trafficking in
people, organs and arms.
On Tuesday, armed gangs unleashed a wave of violence
around a nation and the worst of these incidents. Gunmen with
explosives stormed a TV station on air. Police arrested the men.
The violence prompted President and on a boy to name at 22 gangs
as terrorist organizations to be hunted by the military. The
violence began after a major gang leader apparently escaped
from prison over the weekend. Ecuador is planning new high
security prisons for gang leaders. The President plans to
release two of the designs tomorrow. He also plans to begin
to deport foreign prisoners to reduce prison populations. The
Biden administration is monitoring the situation Oh,
Adam Curry: send them here. Send them up north.
John C Dvorak: That's about right. But wow, when did when
did Ecuador go from becoming the Darling country of John Perkins?
The economic hitman Guy Yeah. And and a potential landing
point for Julian Assange or Snowden whoever would know
Snowden I guess, to this this what changed?
Adam Curry: I don't know. But right next door El Salvador they
they got rid of all of that. It's now become less.
John C Dvorak: Salvador is nowhere near Ecuador. I thought
it was near Ecuador. No, El Salvador is in Central America.
Whereas Ecuador. It's in South America.
Adam Curry: They're not they're not neighbors know.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's bigger doors on the west coast
of central of South America near
Adam Curry: Peru. Alright, well, people, you don't have to send
me emails about how stupid I am. Okay. It's next to Honduras and
Guatemala as well as thinking of Guatemala. Another fine country.
So I got that poster of me from the American Library
Association. Yeah, sure. Anonymous librarian. So kindly
sent.
John C Dvorak: It's great. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's very nice. And Enzo from that, somehow, we were
talking about Little House on the Prairie. I don't know why.
Well, I don't remember exactly why either. But first of all,
there's a huge Little House on the Prairie community. There's a
podcast called the Walnut Grove cast. Oh, yeah. None of that.
But here's what she she said Little House on the Prairie.
They had a there was an award. The Wilder metal was stripped.
Her name was stripped off of the award in 2018 because of racism
in our books.
John C Dvorak: Oh, please.
Adam Curry: Isn't How about that as
John C Dvorak: the Mark Twain award for humor going to be
kicked off and change to something else? Oh,
Adam Curry: you know what? That's a good idea.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's about time. Time. We need to get ready
to accept the award must be a racist. Yep. Yep. Yep. Clearly.
Adam Curry: I had interesting continuing advertising war going
on between the pharmaceutical companies. I'd like to play
these two. As you know, Eli Lilly has decided for their
death bound, I'm sorry, zip bound a product that they will
go direct to consumer. I think they even purchased a telehealth
outfit to do this. I'm not sure. But it doesn't really matter
because telehealth is, I mean, we saw this the rise of
telehealth during COVID and all you need is just for some dude
to say you know some doctor dude, I think can just be a
provider. under whatever you can be an RN, or you can just say
yeah, yeah, looks like you just go through a couple of questions
online, and then they say will prescribe it to you. So, NBC had
the pro Eli Lilly ad, which is couched as a new
Unknown: story, both ozempic and Manjaro are drugs for treating
diabetes but also used off label for weight loss would go V and
zap bound are now the approved versions up to two drugs.
Adam Curry: There you go. There's a discrediting of the
competitor that oh, they're they're off label that you don't
want to use the most popular drug everyone in the categories
known as ozempic. Yeah, this off label, you really want to have
the approval address bound Do you want deskbound approved
Unknown: to drugs specifically intended for fighting obesity.
But as Lynn discovered securing a prescription for any of these
drugs can be a challenge. Eli Lilly CEO Dave Rick says his
company is now trying to change that.
I think a lot of people think of obesity as an issue of
willpower. It's not you know, 40% of adult Americans have
excess weight or obesity. That's a big number. From here you can
the
pharmaceutical giant today launching Lilly direct a website
where patients can find a doctor in person or via telehealth who
can if appropriate, prescribe certain medicines among them set
bound, which can then ship directly to the patient's door.
Obviously there going to be questions from people about
safety about oversight. Can you explain the role of physicians
and just health care professionals and this is a
critical
part of how the site works. And these drugs need to be used
under the supervision of a physician. And we're just
offering more choice in that regard.
Are these independent physicians, will they get any
kind of incentives for prescribing southbound or your
drugs? How does that relationship look?
Yeah, key question. There is no relate financial relationship
between us and the physicians or the online telehealth platforms.
In clinical trials patients taking that mound lost 21% of
their body weight approved by the FDA in November Wall Street
analysts expected to bring in billions of dollars in sales
this year. All
Adam Curry: right. So we need to combat this. As Novo Nordisk we
can't have this these guys a weaseling. In we pioneered this.
This is bigger than the whole. Yes. So if the curry Devorah
Consulting Group, we're asked to have a counter campaign and with
focus on television and we need some online components. What do
you think the
John C Dvorak: we should do? Find someone who died from the
other product?
Adam Curry: Well, that would be great, but we don't want to
discredit the whole sector. We want to make people afraid of
online online. Oh, if that that's a good strategy. Yeah.
And I am telling you, why don't we get Sharon Osbourne because
she had such success with our product. Let's have her do a
slick slickly edited and produced mini show where she can
discredit everything that's comes from online and just make
sure you use ozempic which is sheet which she use and look at
her she's a skinny as a rail.
Unknown: With so many people turn into ozempic for weight
loss. It's Danish Manufacturer launched we go V A near
identical job approved specifically for weight loss.
The NHS has recently approved us use here in the UK, but there's
no strict rules on how doctors prescribe it, including
crucially ensuring patients make lifestyle changes to
generally if you have a BMI of 35, which is you know above
being obese, or you can have a BMI of around 30 Plus have a
couple of health related issues such as high blood pressure,
high cholesterol levels, was
having this criteria is important. It doesn't make
doctor is worried that people who really want to get their
hands on it will seek to buyers and pick or we go V without
medical supervision on the black market, black
market will become frustrated, they will find a way around it.
And that has now developed the black markets for these
unverified untested compounds and are claimed to be some
people have become malnourished become very sick, you need
supervision by a qualified healthcare professional a
doctor.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
recently launched a campaign warning about the online sale of
counterfeit medicines including weight loss injections, being
able to get access to these weight loss drugs off
prescription could have serious consequences, not least for
those with eating disorders.
So we know that people with eating disorders who are often
obsessed about losing weight, they'll try anything, and we'll
find it far too easy to find the jobs online.
From the people I've spoken with today, you realize that these
drugs can be very helpful. food to people who want to lose
weight. But they can have very serious consequences if used in
the wrong circumstances. They're easy to get ahold of online and
it's worrying that counterfeit jabs are available on the black
market too.
Adam Curry: So they've introduced black market online
counterfeit get rid of the compounding. You need to do this
officially do this the proper way people do it like Sharon,
who looks like death warmed over. She I'm sorry, she does
not look good.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure when she looks in the mirror she
disagrees with you.
Adam Curry: And I remember her as this Roly Poly meal. British
housewife in 1988. Now, I mean it's unhealthy the way she looks
really is as well that
John C Dvorak: anorexics keep seeing themselves as too fat
that yeah, someday I don't even brain when you look at yourself,
you go home still too fat.
Adam Curry: It's horrible. I mean, it's a horrible disease.
The mental disease so anyway, we do have a Hail Mary from the
French you know McCrone is just not cutting the mustard. No one
likes him. He's making all the wrong moves. And so they need to
bring in a fresh young face. Well, France
Unknown: now has a new prime minister and a young one that's
34 year old Gabrielle Atal, the former education minister is now
the youngest Prime Minister in recent French history. He's also
the first one to be openly gay is going to replace Elizabeth
bone who resigned Monday after almost two years in the job. Now
that cabinet reshuffle had been in the works for some time now.
Across hoping to give new momentum to the last three years
of his presidency that have been rocked by a series of
controversial moves over pensions and immigration.
Adam Curry: There you go. Yeah, he's he's 34 years old, young
guy, handsome guy. First one to be openly gay. Like we'd like

will bring it out. So it's, they've been trained to keep it
a secret. Hey, I got some podcasting ads.
Adam Curry: Oh, where did you get these from?
John C Dvorak: I Heart Radio.
Adam Curry: Now I Heart Radio is the one that's not bankrupt.
Right. That's Odyssey Odyssey who are $2 billion in the hole.
Somehow. It's easy to first of all, they they borrow the money
to buy CBS Radio. That's that's where the debt comes from. And
then they started all kinds of they bought podcast companies.
That wasn't for billions of dollars, but they bought podcast
companies and the advertising market is running over. They're
going to tick tock they're running away from radio. It's
still still a big industry, but it's hard. It's hard to make
that work. It's expensive.
John C Dvorak: Compared we have the letter from the guy that has
the Tick Tock experience you want to read? Yeah,
Adam Curry: I actually do. Well, what he was saying you mean the
the guy who said that tick tock is filled with the State
Department piece, spooks spooks yeah

put the link in the show notes people look at State
Department's Office of human rights and humanitarian affairs.

smart that's what you want to do.
John C Dvorak: Is shut it down Stop Why growing up

ideas and things in the news and explain it to you in a language
that we all speak and just like I don't know take filibuster

Adam Curry: Okay, so no I would say go listen to Jen Brian

once congressional congressional dish if you want to learn stuff
like that and and get a very good insight into the political
process the United States, then that's the podcast not this. Yo

John C Dvorak: sure it's this get away from the these guys and
go to this one. This is like the village of nothing much. This is
a this goes the other extreme of podcasting.
Unknown: Tune in to the new podcast stories on the village
of nothing much. Like easy listening is bad for fiction. If
you've overdosed on bad news, we invite you into a world where
the glimmers of goodness in everyday life are all around
you. I'm Katherine Nikolai, and I'm an architect of cozy. come
spend some time where everyone is welcome. And the default is
kindness. Listen, relax, enjoy. listen to stories from the
village of nothing much on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, I have a suggestion when you while you're
listening to this podcast, do it in the bath. And then bring in
the toaster.
John C Dvorak: Please the architect of cozy Oh man.
Adam Curry: Oh, brother, brother, brother, you know,
that's not what the kids want. What the kids want what the boys
want. They want only fans. Have you seen the money that these
only fans models claim claim to be making?
John C Dvorak: I think they're probably making close to
whatever they're saying they're making. I'm not
Adam Curry: gonna disagree $52 million in three years this one
thing where it was it was this. MC now has an AI version. And
the AI version will do
John C Dvorak: as she could she could afford to buy an AI
company. This is better than hooking? Yes.
Adam Curry: It's but it's so it's so destructive for young
men. Is this really apparent? I mean, we used to have to go out
into the in the woods and we hit our magazine. And we put it in a
plastic bag and put it under leaves.
John C Dvorak: remember doing that? What would you go on? what
else what else? You're going to go into that fish? Well, that's
all
Adam Curry: we had. But that was it. And we had and we shared one
magazine. Look at it. Oh man. Look at this now. Now. I'm kids
are blowing their lunch money on this stuff. Stop it. Yeah,
especially the AI version.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that's just dumb. Yeah, but
Adam Curry: this is what it's become. I mean, and of course it
starts because parents are putting their kids on the
screens at an earlier an earlier age. In fact, America's most
trusted and favorite doctor had a bit about this on ABC. Good
Morning, America.
Unknown: All right, let's talk to America's favorite doctor,
shall we? Of course. Alright,
let's talk about this new study to take a look at how screentime
can impact the sensory development of toddlers. What do
we need? Yeah, so this just published in the journal JAMA
Pediatrics gonna get the attention of anyone with a small
child or a baby. Let me take you through the findings. They did a
review of sensory processing data. I'll go into what that
means in a second from about 1500 children ages one through
three, what they found, basically an association not
cause and effect between the amount of screen time and their
odds of having a sensory processing difference at 12
months they had twice the odds of a sensory processing
difference. When they tested these children around for at 18
months for each additional hour. That odds rate went up by about
23% by two years of age, every hour increase the odds by about
20%. According to the Academy of Pediatrics, we have to be
crystal clear. Zero screen time of any kind for babies under the
age of 12 months, when you're talking about 18 to 24 months of
age, they're limiting it to one hour. And it has to be quality
as well as quantity they're keeping an eye on so shared
screen time. And what they're watching makes as much of a
difference is how much
I'm not gonna lie. This like sent me into a whole panic,
because I have a chance to hold at home. And there's really I
mean, some days there's like nothing you correct except for
Cara here. Can we please have the right to do something and
keep you safe?
You are right. It should not be a guilt shaming issue, because
sometimes you don't have another choice. No,
you're on your own and you're stuck. Challenging,
John C Dvorak: yes. What is the I missed the premise?
Adam Curry: The premises stop using screens? Yeah.
John C Dvorak: I understand that. That's that's the goal.
The premise what what is it doing to them? That's negative.
They said something about it causes something and I don't
know what they're talking about.
Adam Curry: sensory processing issues. What does that mean? As
mean? That they can't, that they're so sucked into the
screen that they don't understand how to process the
real world with their senses.
John C Dvorak: We find that hard to believe. Oh, John,
Adam Curry: it's so bad. It's so bad. These kids in school they
get ill I
John C Dvorak: know the kids in school. They're on the screen
too much they get out but they can't walk or what they can't
do. They can't they walk in his balance.
Adam Curry: Walking is not one of the five senses. They have
sensory processing mill. They have issues with comprehending
speech. They have issues. Yeah, with all kinds of stuff. Of
course, this is bad.
John C Dvorak: Look, I'm not saying it's good. Okay. I just
wonder what the premise is. I'm skeptical of what the premise
that they can't walk, talk, smell, they can't feel right.
Well,
Adam Curry: it probably would have been better. They said your
kid will become retarded, that would have been better that that
makes more sense. That would have been the way to go. And
with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning
to you the man who put the sea in chris Christie's hot mic, say
hello to my friend on the other end, the One Only Mr. John Cena
John C Dvorak: was read in Korean Memorial ships and sea
boosts underground feet in the air fish in the air subs in the
water and days and nights out there in the
Adam Curry: morning to the plugs falling out of the air. Hello
there. Trolls Good to have you all aboard. was hard. I saw a
couple of really small ones scurrying away. 1819 8019. For
today's count, how are we on that? 89?
John C Dvorak: That's right on the money.
Adam Curry: It's pretty good, right? Yeah, yeah. Do you know
that 42% of the listeners of the no agenda podcast, listen to all
of it. 62% listened to half of it. The other ones that are
going to be voted off the island first, obviously. That's
actually those numbers are not that bad, actually for three,
three hour podcast. This is where you have a response.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I think is great.
Adam Curry: I did I did a test on the Norwegian social. I had a
poll, I use the polling feature. And I said how many people are
here on no agenda social. Listen to the show. And I and the end
the poll was the poll was irrelevant. Because the question
I had what I have, I had, let me see what my poll was. The okay,
I had four to eight times a month, about two times a month.
And sometimes. So sometimes had 7% about two times a month had
4% and four to eight times a month. 89% But that's not why I
did the poll. I wanted to see how many people would respond.
Now we have 10,000 people on norgine The social how many
people do you think responded to with an answer at all?
John C Dvorak: Any old poll but 100 Maybe now please? 500?
Adam Curry: Who in my mind, that means that we only have 5% of
the people on no agenda social actually care?
John C Dvorak: Well, I don't think people would look I would
say what you've got is 500 People that at that moment in
that that slice of time, we're online most of you are just
hanging there we just all the time. 10,000 people on line No,
it's not gonna be that I think that numbers I was I guessed 100
Adam Curry: Do you think it's a good number?
John C Dvorak: I think it's a great number.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, how can I discredit this if it's a good
night mber
John C Dvorak: wow where do you want to discredit it? Just
Adam Curry: every is everybody. Everybody who's posting memes
basically just trying to discredit meme posting.
John C Dvorak: You're just a meme hater.
Adam Curry: Bad memes and that's what most of them are.
John C Dvorak: No not the ones I use the years of the worst. No
they're not What do you mean the worst one my memes are picked.
They're selected from selected they're selected out of
selections of selections okay our stair Psych was like panning
for gold well let's get to go through the sluice and then you
get to a golden nugget at the very end and that's where I'm
posting requesting the nuggets.
Adam Curry: Okay, so your nugget is when Breyers did this
Democrats did this so spare me your bullshit. Wow, John, that
was dynamite. Next one. If you want me to trust the science and
stop telling me this is a man this is a woman this is an
expert. This is healthy. You think that's Oh, I will those
John C Dvorak: are the ones online I'm talking about the
ones I use in the newsletter weekly
Adam Curry: mean blast. You have John Bolton with a woman's hair
Nikki Haley hair I guess this is this is a waste of storage space

intelligence.

right. Well, how does this stuff? Oh, she just missed it.
She slack and this is how it starts.
John C Dvorak: This is how it started. They emailed three
shows ago. And she she's of the opinion that she can do this.
And yeah, no,
Adam Curry: I know what you're saying. Yeah, exactly the same
note of saying the stuff we always say don't do it because
it always fails. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's a fail. It's, it's a potential for
failure.
Adam Curry: So trolls, good to have you here. I love you all. I

Adam Curry: He was supposed to drop it yesterday. Yeah. He was
very complimentary. Rude. He was very complimentary about the
show. I didn't have to prompt or anything. He
John C Dvorak: obviously did some log rolling.

pre show guy. Yes, right. I appreciate that guy. Everybody.
John C Dvorak: Well together show think of this show.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Yes. Well, we also want to thank what are
those people call to make pretty pictures for the show.
John C Dvorak: artists, artists.
Adam Curry: The artists who deliver us time and talent in
return for the value they received from the show some also
give us treasure and donate which we love. We always want to
thank and highlight the artists that brought us the artwork for
the previous episode. Now we had a new word deputy Terry, that
was the title of the show of 1623. And the art was from
Francisco skata manga, who we hadn't seen for a hot minute
he's back and there were a lot of thematic pieces of art. But
Francisco really brought it home with the with the huge alien.
The Miami cop car, had the shopping bags with 33 on it. And
I can now go to the no agenda Art Generator, which is fast.
Thank you, Sir Paul couture, he probably put like some cluster
on it. He was tired of complaining about complaining.
And he's like, how does it work? Now, boys? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: he was irked about the fact that he had to do
this extra work
Adam Curry: fast is fast. I love it is beautiful.
John C Dvorak: At least it's 10 times faster just noticeably.
It's great.
Adam Curry: I really is great. I love it. So we chose we picked
this
John C Dvorak: art you should take Why did we pick this art?
Adam Curry: Well, I
John C Dvorak: remember Okay, tell me
Adam Curry: I don't remember.
John C Dvorak: Because it's Scaramanga does a real art.
Yeah, it's not AI. Everything else was a I could see it all
over the place. Pretty much. You in particular course. Yeah. We
agreed on the on this piece because it's, it's like real
art. Just like he spent a few minutes doing drawing out these
characters. This wasn't done by AI from what we can tell if it
was in this? We don't think so. No. Well, and but everything
else all the other aliens that we saw on here were all aliens.
It's
Adam Curry: not so much that, you know, I'm not against tools
like AI and be Photoshop is it has AI in it. But that stuff it
does. You can you could arguably call that AI. But the AI art
like, you know comics or Blogger we've chosen once or twice and
he just goes off the road. Look at all the pretty swirly colors.
John C Dvorak: But he also had a competitor was scary mangas
piece which is aliens in the mall, which was clearly AI.
Yeah. And it was it didn't have any team that we've discussed it
had no, there's no soul.
Adam Curry: Yeah, soulless, soulless and flawless.
appreciated what Schwartz swaddle had done, which was some
frightening drawing of some guy with a gay you had a thing for
this piece spun up spinach is what it was called. Yeah, well,
because it was clearly hand drawn with crayons. I don't know
what it was done with. That's interesting. I'm seeing some
other pieces that I didn't see before. Did we see I guess we
didn't see the you know, we had a lot of planes with doors and
phones falling out. It's hard to do. art that is humorous. Now,
it's, it's subtle. I don't think AI just doesn't have humor. Now
that's not baked in as
John C Dvorak: possible.
Adam Curry: Well, not according to Sam Altman.
John C Dvorak: I haven't seen any AI that's, that's hilarious.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it may be That's it. Maybe AI doesn't
understand the concept of humor.
John C Dvorak: And how could it because it can't understand and
understand implies a certain human trait. So basically, I
can't possibly have so it's even
Adam Curry: worse than a two year old on a screen.
John C Dvorak: That's pretty much it is a two year old on the
screen Exactly.
Adam Curry: What we liked it was titled et needs new vinyl. It
was a good piece. Francisco Scaramanga. We liked it was very
good.
John C Dvorak: We should mention that Dame Kenny Ben won the
competition last year.

am going to mention him because he has been on a sustaining
donation he says guys, I can't wait to see you all at the
roundtable. My latest donation of 3367 completes my
apprenticeship and should yield me my knighthood. I turned
another year older Tuesday and could not continue on without a
knighthood. I earned this the hard way, purposefully not
taking advantage of reduced prices in the past. I initially
had producer anxiety blocking me from donating I've never heard
of this.
John C Dvorak: I wanted to know how much yeah how often that
turns up. I'd
Adam Curry: like well let us know by sending a donation let
us know. I want to make my first donation as executive producer

is how you do it people. I've been a listener since episode
750 something after being hit in the mouth by pinball gypsy.
That's the one account I enjoy following on a no agenda social
pinball gypsy. I have one art credit episode 1251 So you've
already sent some value that way and had art picked by John 11
times for the newsletter. Wow. I'm still in V for V debt to the

People don't worry about it. Your life has not affected your
good. You got your family, you got your friends. And now you
have a good news story. What do we have today, John? So
John C Dvorak: I took your advice to make something that it
was less about someone almost dying. Yeah, yeah, but I
couldn't find anything super Bunnell, which is I think what
you're looking for, but I found this this is a good news story.
And I'd love the actions is about the moose that was selling
Unknown: tonight a maritime couple is being celebrated for a
keen eye and quick action that led to a most Canadian rescue.
CCTVs Atlanta pickerel picks up the story. So
Lynn Lavoie spends most of her weekends in her side by side
exploring new brunswick alongside her husband, Claude.
Typically, she rides shotgun, and keeps an eye on everything
Nietzsche has to offer. But even after a lifetime in the
outdoors, this was a first for us. This Sunday brought a brand
new experience when she spotted a moose out on the ice. She
wasn't
making any noise or anything like that. She was very quiet,
or young. We got and we looked down. We could tell that she was
just sprawled out on the river like on the ice and could move
so we knew her legs were fine then at that point, but again,
it was just trying to figure out what was the next step. A few
minutes later to peace officers join the couple as they work to
safely get the moose back onto the bank using a ratchet strap
from there side by side. First, we were wondering about the ice
thickness. But then my husband said well, you know that animal
has to be at least 400 pounds. So he says I can go on the ice.
So he asked the police officer to just basically hang on to the
stretch so that if something like if the ice was to break, he
could pull them back.
While the entire rescue mission only took about 30 to 40
minutes. It's an experience that will surely last a lifetime. Now
I grew
up in the country so like I see those animals like a lot and
often enough but I mean it was still surreal to see one
stranded on the ice but just to see that we were able to get it
to not to shore but on this on the bank and to kind of give it
a little pat. You know she'd be on her way it was it was good.
Alanna picaro CTV News Rogersville New Brunswick.
Adam Curry: I think any good news story that involves moose
is always good. I am pro moose and thank you for that. It's But
