Wow. 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,950 Adam Curry: I have seen a lot of race movies. I would say this is 25 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,670 the best one. It should I agree. It should receive an Oscar for 26 00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:28,080 something. Well, too late. No, no. And I also 27 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,740 John C Dvorak: I use it to say I got to see it on IMAX so you can 28 00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:34,050 bet that was it's 29 00:01:34,110 --> 00:01:36,990 Adam Curry: everyone had warned me it starts a little slow. A 30 00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:40,200 little slow. It granted a little did a little bit for a second. 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,820 Oh yeah, it 32 00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:44,100 John C Dvorak: does start a little slow. But I thought it 33 00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:45,720 speeds up like a car. 34 00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:49,740 Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, it was so good.

With Oprah's great 39 00:02:01,410 --> 00:02:06,180 casting to put her in. Notice that know that? Because that 40 00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:12,030 means that you even you and I can get into his movies. Right? 41 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:15,600 To put a Spice Girl in your racing movie. Come on, we can 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,320 get in there. And congratulations to Ashlynn speed 43 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:24,690 number 32. No a generation racer. She's racing F four. 44 00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:30,030 Yeah, she's moved up. No sooner have we talked about her? Have 45 00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:34,110 we helped her career? Have we put her on the podium? Then she 46 00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:38,940 goes to Formula four. Yes, this is great. I'm telling you f1 f1 47 00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:45,420 for the win. Let's see. Well, they've knocked the bridge down. 48 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,620 John C Dvorak: This I love watching that rich go down over 49 00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:52,410 and over. Man Well damn this thing. There's 50 00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:56,730 Adam Curry: there's a lot of speculation, a lot of a lot of 51 00:02:56,730 --> 00:03:00,330 information a lot of things we do know we don't know. Of 52 00:03:00,330 --> 00:03:00,690 course. 53 00:03:00,810 --> 00:03:03,360 John C Dvorak: Well we know now that the more important thing 54 00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:07,080 is, they've got to change the name of the bridge because 55 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,450 Francis got key is a bad guy. 56 00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:14,400 Unknown: He's a racist to Francis Scott Key Bridge. Now a 57 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,790 barrier for a key shipping lane, the Port of Baltimore is 58 00:03:17,790 --> 00:03:21,420 expected to be closed indefinitely. Please investigate 59 00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:24,810 the collision that caused it to collapse and work to clear the 60 00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:28,440 wreckage is critically important to our economy. Last year, the 61 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,820 port processed over 52 million tons of foreign cargo or some 62 00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:39,270 $80 billion each day it shut down a $217 million trade loss 63 00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:42,990 and while Baltimore handles just 3% of container volume for the 64 00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:46,920 Eastern Gulf Coast's it's the top US port for automobile 65 00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:51,720 imports and exports. Nearly 850,000 vehicles passed through 66 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,500 last year. The port is also crucial for energy exports 67 00:03:55,530 --> 00:03:59,970 shipping some 20 million tons of coal per year most to India, 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,510 it's a key lifeline for the local economy as well accounting 69 00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:08,820 for more than 15,000 direct jobs and nearly 140,000 indirect jobs 70 00:04:08,850 --> 00:04:12,540 generating $3.3 billion in personal income. 71 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200 We're looking at not having ships coming in for no one knows 72 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,570 how long at this point, you know, and that's going to affect 73 00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:23,400 the lives of longshoremen and stevedores and tugboat crew, 74 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:23,850 some 75 00:04:23,850 --> 00:04:27,720 40 ships remain stranded in Baltimore Harbor automakers like 76 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,800 Ford, GM and Volkswagen say they will be rerouting their shipping 77 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,490 to avoid major disruptions, the accident certain to have a 78 00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:39,210 massive impact on the regional supply chain and the local 79 00:04:39,210 --> 00:04:40,680 economy. Yeah. 80 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,320 Adam Curry: The fallout you know, really bad. 81 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200 John C Dvorak: That was a better I have a report from that 82 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,460 report. Where did you get that? 83 00:04:47,940 --> 00:04:54,450 Adam Curry: That was from Papa France. 24. It was good, right? 84 00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:55,800 Because it had the economic stuff 85 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,780 John C Dvorak: and a bunch of good stuff. Listen, here's what 86 00:04:57,780 --> 00:04:58,770 NPR did. 87 00:04:59,490 --> 00:05:02,130 Adam Curry: Let me see The NPR here we go see it as 88 00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:04,860 Unknown: divers continue their search for missing construction 89 00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:07,560 workers following the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore. 90 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:10,890 Investigators are looking at evidence in the case. Apparently 91 00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:14,340 out of control container ships smashed into the bridges support 92 00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:17,790 structure early Tuesday morning, causing the massive structure to 93 00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:21,240 crash into the water and under the ship. The bodies of two 94 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,730 workers are recovered day other workers who are on the bridge at 95 00:05:23,730 --> 00:05:26,130 the time are missing and presumed dead. The Biden 96 00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:28,710 administration is promising an aggressive effort to reopen the 97 00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:30,930 Port of Baltimore to shipping traffic and rebuild the 98 00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:31,590 structure. 99 00:05:32,010 --> 00:05:39,090 John C Dvorak: We got on. I know. I just as an aside, I do 100 00:05:39,090 --> 00:05:42,510 have a kind of an interesting tidbit clip. Okay. 101 00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:44,940 Unknown: Remember station w wipr talked to one of their co 102 00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:46,980 workers who said he was scheduled to work on the bridge 103 00:05:47,010 --> 00:05:49,620 the next morning, he said the men held from Guatemala, 104 00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:53,340 Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico. Tragedy. Oh, yeah, no, 105 00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:53,700 we're all 106 00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:55,590 John C Dvorak: a bunch of illegals that we're working on 107 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:57,450 to deal with that's why they don't talk about it. 108 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,950 Adam Curry: In fact, the president of Mexico has already 109 00:06:01,950 --> 00:06:09,480 complained. Let me see. Lopez Obrador said that insensitive 110 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:12,570 irresponsible politicians did not understand the contribution 111 00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:16,890 of migrants in the US. They found two bodies in a pickup 112 00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:22,530 truck. Yeah, that's that's your that's your your high paying 113 00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:26,880 good union jobs. That's right. Dignity. Yeah, they illegals 114 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,860 working on of course, fixing the potholes. We have boots on the 115 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:32,580 ground. By the 116 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:36,900 John C Dvorak: way, try to stop a second. So I went into my 117 00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:42,840 tires leaking. Oh, no. And so I had to get a new expensive tire. 118 00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:47,340 Because it wasn't warrantied because it was caused by a 119 00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:52,260 pothole. You had pothole damage to my tire is going to cost me a 120 00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:52,980 lot of money, 121 00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:56,880 Adam Curry: you need some illegals. I'm sure we can get 122 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,820 some let's go to the Home Depot and have them and pick them up 123 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:04,950 and have them fill up your potholes. boots on the ground. 124 00:07:05,940 --> 00:07:09,870 From one of our producers, he works for a port company owned 125 00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:13,470 by SSA Marine, which controls port operations at the Baltimore 126 00:07:13,470 --> 00:07:15,750 marine port. This is why we have the best podcast in the 127 00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:17,880 universe, we have the best producers in the universe. 128 00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:21,870 Everybody's an expert at something, I'm sure this guy has 129 00:07:21,870 --> 00:07:25,620 been sitting around listening to the show forever. Thinking is 130 00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:28,980 great, I have nothing much to contribute, then all of a sudden 131 00:07:28,980 --> 00:07:32,430 Whoa. And that's when you email us that's how you're supposed to 132 00:07:32,430 --> 00:07:36,120 do it. It was confirmed there were two pilots and control the 133 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,670 vessel the vessel was leaving the port after being loaded 134 00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:42,600 speed six knots after they lost power. They issued a mayday 135 00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:47,490 which allowed emergency traffic closure of the bridge. And I 136 00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:49,380 mean all those videos, it doesn't look like there was a 137 00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:53,580 lot of time so that losing power, there was enough time for 138 00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:56,100 the May Day and for them to close the traffic on the bridge 139 00:07:56,130 --> 00:07:58,440 guaranteed it was late. But so I think that's could have been 140 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,040 much worse. They followed all the emergency procedures, which 141 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,640 includes emergency dropping of the anchor, the smoke, this is 142 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,000 from internal communications. So take it for what it's worth. Of 143 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,540 course, the smoke scene is from the emergency generators, which 144 00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:15,480 takes several minutes to kick in, they tried to stop the ship, 145 00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:18,780 but it was too short of a distance. The cause of the power 146 00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:23,040 failures still unknown. Although dirty fuel is a possibility. It 147 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,220 seems they lost control of the steering while motor and 148 00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:30,480 propeller was still going. A collision was inevitable with 149 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,840 the vessel this size and this amount of displacement confirmed 150 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,300 that people died but you probably have that information. 151 00:08:36,330 --> 00:08:39,270 Thank you very much to our boots on the ground. So that's the 152 00:08:39,270 --> 00:08:45,270 official word there at the port. Now, it was really odd. My 153 00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:50,160 neighbor out here, Laura Logan, she was on the stick right away 154 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:59,280 about this right away, calling it a cyber event. Yes, and she 155 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,950 was all over a banyan show and Newsmax or news nation, whatever 156 00:09:04,950 --> 00:09:08,370 it is. And now let 157 00:09:08,370 --> 00:09:10,080 John C Dvorak: me just let me just say two of them one is 158 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,690 Newsmax and the other one is news. Naisha there's 159 00:09:12,690 --> 00:09:16,590 Adam Curry: two different things. Now I hold my neighbor 160 00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:20,490 in high regard. I know who she's married to. I know that she does 161 00:09:20,490 --> 00:09:20,670 know 162 00:09:20,670 --> 00:09:22,290 John C Dvorak: your beer friends. Yeah, they were 163 00:09:22,290 --> 00:09:22,770 friends. 164 00:09:24,570 --> 00:09:26,580 Adam Curry: She started coming to our church as well which is 165 00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:34,890 interesting. She definitely has intelligence sources. And now 166 00:09:35,010 --> 00:09:37,470 I'm going to play two clips. The first one is from winch because 167 00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:40,350 she has the same story is very long. So I tried to get the two 168 00:09:40,350 --> 00:09:44,910 concise clips. But the first one is really her sources. And 169 00:09:44,910 --> 00:09:47,580 although the none of her reporting that I've seen she is 170 00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:52,530 she's staking her reputation on this, which for someone like 171 00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:53,640 Laura is a big deal 172 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:56,940 Unknown: US intelligence elements within US intelligence, 173 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,470 have identified this as a cyber attack. And the way that this is 174 00:10:01,470 --> 00:10:04,920 done is using a technique which is called spoofing. So there's a 175 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,830 lot of conversation that you know about the feed, the ship 176 00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:11,760 was going that calls were made to emergency services or to the 177 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,580 Harbormaster. And, you know, there's a lot of conversation 178 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,080 about, exactly, you know, all the different variances that 179 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,840 happened to you. But what they don't want you to talk about, 180 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,480 right, because they introduce all these other things, so that 181 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,260 you will not have a conversation about how this is done. It's a 182 00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:31,020 very simple technique, and it's called spoofing in the 183 00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:34,410 intelligence community. And basically, what you do is you 184 00:10:34,410 --> 00:10:39,180 identify what is the GPS signal, we all know this is satellite 185 00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:43,920 base that the ship is using to power its, you know, its GPS, 186 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,670 and to guide that ship on its course. And you create a more 187 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:51,030 powerful signal, so you overwhelm the signal that 188 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:54,480 they're using. And what this means is effectively, whoever is 189 00:10:54,510 --> 00:10:57,720 on that ship piloting. And when that pilot is on board, a 190 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,690 complex maneuver like that has to be handled by the harbor 191 00:11:00,690 --> 00:11:04,290 pilot. So he's watching his GPS signal, and it's telling him 192 00:11:04,290 --> 00:11:08,940 that he is on course, that everything is fine. But now he's 193 00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:13,800 looking at what he sees. And it doesn't look the same as what's 194 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,730 on the GPS. And what the harbor pilot and the crew are now 195 00:11:17,730 --> 00:11:21,420 looking at is as they're getting closer and closer, they're 196 00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:24,450 realizing Wait a minute, we're not in the channel, what we're 197 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:28,680 seeing with our own eyes doesn't match what's on the GPS, but the 198 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:32,970 GPS is telling us we're still on core. And so then they start to 199 00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:37,080 panic, right. And as they realize that they're in a really 200 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,710 bad situation, they're now trying no likelihood, right? 201 00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:43,770 What they're trying to do everything that they can to stop 202 00:11:43,770 --> 00:11:47,700 it, but at a certain point, physics takes over the weight of 203 00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:51,240 the ship, the weight of the cargo, the speed of the water, 204 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,630 the sharpness of the turn, there's nothing that you can do 205 00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:55,590 at that point. 206 00:11:55,890 --> 00:11:59,460 Adam Curry: So this is Chi stands by this, that it was GPS 207 00:11:59,460 --> 00:12:03,510 spoofing. And it was dark of night, and it was timed at 208 00:12:03,510 --> 00:12:07,140 night. So that the you know, just have the, there's not a 209 00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:09,930 whole bunch of eyes would be on the bridge and seeing what was 210 00:12:09,930 --> 00:12:15,030 happening. And here's a clip from the that was little 211 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:17,550 yesterday. Here's a clip from this morning about our sources. 212 00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:20,520 Unknown: I'm talking to people who are on the inside some who 213 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,780 are in active duty, some who are retired, and everyone literally 214 00:12:24,780 --> 00:12:27,660 from critical infrastructure in Department of Homeland Security 215 00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:32,130 to the intelligence agencies, they know there's no other it's 216 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,730 there. This is a cyber attack on a critical infrastructure 217 00:12:35,730 --> 00:12:38,730 corridor for the United States. This is you know, for those 218 00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:41,130 people think this is just a river. This is in Baltimore, 219 00:12:41,130 --> 00:12:44,940 what is this matter? You don't know anything about what you're 220 00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:49,920 talking about? This the I 94 corridor on the Eastern Seaboard 221 00:12:50,010 --> 00:12:53,220 is literally what connects the north and south and when I talk 222 00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:57,390 about hazardous materials, right, this is a brilliant, well 223 00:12:57,390 --> 00:13:01,620 planned strategic attack on one of the most important supply 224 00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:05,010 chains in the United States of America. The only other one is 225 00:13:05,010 --> 00:13:07,350 in the western side in California. That's the only one 226 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:11,640 that's busier. And what you have does you now have shut it down? 227 00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:14,550 Adam Curry: What do you think about that? Is that bridge 228 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:18,990 really that important? Is it visit vital for our 229 00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:19,830 infrastructure? 230 00:13:20,370 --> 00:13:23,100 John C Dvorak: Apparently, it wasn't vital before 1978 when it 231 00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:23,790 was built. 232 00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:27,870 Adam Curry: I always have to talk to her about two things. 233 00:13:27,870 --> 00:13:31,800 One, I've got to talk to her about the Right. Right. And and 234 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,530 also I should not tell him not to stand too close to jet 235 00:13:34,530 --> 00:13:42,240 engines. Don't want to get justice. Kidding. Kidding. I 236 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,440 mean, she's staking her reputation on it, which is this 237 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:46,770 way. 238 00:13:46,770 --> 00:13:50,790 John C Dvorak: It's an interesting thesis that you'd 239 00:13:50,790 --> 00:13:56,730 have to try to figure out how it could be done to overwhelm and 240 00:13:56,730 --> 00:13:59,850 it would have been reported by more than one I would think it 241 00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:01,920 was it couldn't be targeted unless they had to I don't know 242 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:08,130 how they could do that. But it's possible, I suppose. To target 243 00:14:08,130 --> 00:14:09,330 one. Oh, 244 00:14:09,330 --> 00:14:14,040 Adam Curry: no. I mean, it's a bit much GPS spoofing is is very 245 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,740 easy. That's easy. That's super easy. 246 00:14:16,770 --> 00:14:20,190 John C Dvorak: Is it easy to to do it so nobody else notices? 247 00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:20,640 Oh, yeah, 248 00:14:20,670 --> 00:14:23,430 Adam Curry: you just need a transmitter that is just closer 249 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:27,090 to the receiver then blocks out the satellite signal? 250 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,080 Absolutely. 251 00:14:28,290 --> 00:14:30,450 John C Dvorak: That I think is the I'm not I really I like to 252 00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:32,580 hear from some experts that we have that. 253 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,200 Adam Curry: By the way. 1600 airplanes in the last four days 254 00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:41,220 have had GPS issues over the Baltic Sea. I mean, this we know 255 00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:43,710 this happens. It's the easiest thing to do was 256 00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:46,170 John C Dvorak: also a solar flare, which was attributed to 257 00:14:46,170 --> 00:14:49,560 this issue. Oh, I hadn't heard that one was there and yeah, 258 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:52,890 they came out and said well, the solar flare has been causing 259 00:14:52,890 --> 00:14:53,580 trouble. 260 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,910 Adam Curry: But spoofing is very easy. We GPS it's really is. I 261 00:15:02,910 --> 00:15:06,390 mean, you just have to have a signal sending, sending out the 262 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:12,180 the skewed data, but it just seems like wow, okay, and then 263 00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:16,980 that doesn't account for the timing of the engine going out 264 00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:20,670 and I mean that there's a lot of a lot of holes a lot of holes 265 00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:27,540 but I still don't know if this because her big claim is that 266 00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:31,050 this will take four to five years that the structure you 267 00:15:31,050 --> 00:15:35,250 have no idea how bad this is because of the cement pylon that 268 00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:38,250 probably you don't have to build a new bridge. That's likely 269 00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:43,170 true. But is it really? Is it really that crippling? I mean, I 270 00:15:43,170 --> 00:15:46,260 know that you won't be able to get your Mercedes Benz on time I 271 00:15:46,260 --> 00:15:52,140 heard I heard the CEO on CNBC Oh, well, we'll get your your 272 00:15:52,530 --> 00:15:57,630 your Evie Mercedes Benz to you as soon as possible. I don't 273 00:15:57,630 --> 00:16:02,280 know that. That's the thing that only she's talking about. It's 274 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,550 much more interesting to me than then the GPS spoofing is is this 275 00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:08,100 really that important of, 276 00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:12,300 John C Dvorak: of a cord was a 3% cord. We know that right? 277 00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,980 Adam Curry: But she's talking about the bridge itself. It's 278 00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:15,510 not the port. It's the bridge 279 00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:16,950 John C Dvorak: though. The bridge Yeah, will take a while 280 00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:20,700 to build but she says the one that was put up was, I guess 281 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,550 thrown up. That was a piece of crap. I've never seen anything 282 00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:28,650 collapse like that. Well, the whole thing looks like a 283 00:16:28,650 --> 00:16:30,090 TinkerToy going down. 284 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,480 Adam Curry: Well, if you I mean, hitting that pylon is I mean, 285 00:16:33,510 --> 00:16:34,290 that's yeah, 286 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,060 John C Dvorak: we're just single point of failure to that 287 00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:38,850 extreme. That was poorly designed. If did that's the 288 00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:39,930 case. Okay. Jhansi. 289 00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:43,290 Adam Curry: Dvorak is terrible engineer. I mean, 290 00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:45,930 John C Dvorak: did you see the tweet just looking at you not to 291 00:16:45,930 --> 00:16:48,450 be a chicken? You didn't know a bad AK. Did 292 00:16:48,450 --> 00:16:51,240 Adam Curry: you see the Twin Towers? How about that? 293 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,080 Unknown: They will I 294 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,240 John C Dvorak: don't think that was legit. Well, maybe this was 295 00:16:54,270 --> 00:16:56,040 this seemed legit. They just said, 296 00:16:56,070 --> 00:16:58,290 Adam Curry: How about building seven that you're you're 297 00:16:58,290 --> 00:17:01,200 complaining about a bridge, that thing fell down out of sympathy? 298 00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:11,760 So I don't know that it will unfold. But if so no one else is 299 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,370 talking about that, to me is the most interesting part. Is it 300 00:17:14,370 --> 00:17:19,620 really that bad? And man, it's like when you get a whole bunch 301 00:17:19,620 --> 00:17:23,880 of people calling you from intelligence. Oh, yeah. You 302 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,800 know, is that? I mean, that could be Q level stuff. Like, 303 00:17:28,830 --> 00:17:33,030 oh, this is this is it, man. This is it. And by the way, now 304 00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:36,990 that I have you on the phone, JFK Jr. is still alive. 305 00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:41,160 John C Dvorak: Which is a big Macedon, which is, 306 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,910 Adam Curry: which is a big one out here. That's a big one. A 307 00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:46,620 lot of people talking about that. I 308 00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:50,100 John C Dvorak: find that peculiar that it would be so 309 00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:53,190 prevalent in that area. Oh, 310 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:55,260 Adam Curry: it's it's very interesting. 311 00:17:58,110 --> 00:18:00,780 John C Dvorak: You're living in an area that is loaded with 312 00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:02,700 crackpots. That feel 313 00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,880 Adam Curry: right at home? Yeah, really. It's a beautiful thing. 314 00:18:05,970 --> 00:18:09,930 It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. All right. So that was 315 00:18:09,930 --> 00:18:13,380 why we really just don't have any more everybody's seen. 316 00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:17,910 Everybody's seen the video footage. I can understand where 317 00:18:17,910 --> 00:18:23,100 if you hit them. It's so it's such a perfect hit. That I mean, 318 00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,680 even if they just hit the trust of the bridge, it would have 319 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,160 taken that thing out. But it really hit just the sweet spot, 320 00:18:29,490 --> 00:18:36,270 which you don't really expect to happen. So and and if it is, is 321 00:18:36,270 --> 00:18:40,470 it. More important to me is is it really going to cripple our 322 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,890 internal infrastructure? That's the I thought you would know 323 00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:46,440 more about the I 95 Corridor seems like something you would 324 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,130 know I know 325 00:18:47,130 --> 00:18:51,600 John C Dvorak: about the I 95 corridor? Yeah, but far as I'm 326 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,570 concerned as back east I'm, I'm a West Coast guy gonna carry 327 00:18:56,730 --> 00:18:58,080 Adam Curry: that's the spirit John. 328 00:18:59,070 --> 00:19:02,040 John C Dvorak: We looked at China for our way of cleaning. 329 00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:06,360 Adam Curry: Well, all right. Since we're talking about China, 330 00:19:08,370 --> 00:19:11,880 this is hasn't really hit the news that hard here in the 331 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,770 States, but it's big in the UK. 332 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,500 Unknown: Yeah, it's dominating the British papers today stored 333 00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:21,690 in what the Daily Mail calls and highly unusual move. The US and 334 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:27,000 UK publicly identified China as a source of a decade's long 335 00:19:27,570 --> 00:19:31,770 cyber attack campaign that campaign targeted among others, 336 00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:36,720 politicians, journalists, institutions in the UK, the US 337 00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:39,810 and New Zealand now says that its parliamentary system was 338 00:19:39,810 --> 00:19:45,300 also targeted in 2021. America, the US has announced that it 339 00:19:45,330 --> 00:19:49,530 announced criminal charges and sanctions against seven hackers 340 00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:53,370 who they say live in China. Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, 341 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,400 British Prime Minister is now under pressure to do more, to 342 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,330 fight and to sanction those who carried out these attacks. acts, 343 00:20:00,630 --> 00:20:04,200 particularly as anger is growing over the fact that Britain only 344 00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:08,640 slapped sanctions on to hackers. They belong to a group called 345 00:20:08,970 --> 00:20:13,200 advanced persistent threat or a PT not to give you an idea of 346 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,840 the scale of these attacks, 347 00:20:15,870 --> 00:20:18,120 Adam Curry: what kind of what kind of hacker name is that? 348 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,290 Fear sitting down with a bunch of hackers like oh, we got up a 349 00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:26,160 cool name like a non Oh, yeah. advanced persistent threat. 350 00:20:26,250 --> 00:20:28,980 Yeah, nailed it, bro. advanced 351 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,610 Unknown: persistent threat or a PT not to give you an idea of 352 00:20:32,610 --> 00:20:38,640 the scale of these attacks. For in one instance, an attack on 353 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,780 the UK Electoral Commission gave the hackers access to the names 354 00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:46,530 and addresses of 40 million people registered to vote. One 355 00:20:46,530 --> 00:20:51,240 MP, saying Britain turned up to a gunfight with a wooden spoon 356 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,500 is in a way in a bid to describe the response of Britain to 357 00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:59,010 punishing these hackers as the Times reports it, China is set 358 00:20:59,010 --> 00:21:02,880 to be declared a threat to national security. So 359 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,910 Adam Curry: bemrose in the troll room says that a PT is what the 360 00:21:05,910 --> 00:21:08,910 white hats give to groups who they don't have the name of and 361 00:21:08,940 --> 00:21:13,080 then they'll often put a number so a PT 35, advanced print, so 362 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,350 it's not what they call themselves. It's what we do with 363 00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:19,470 our good guys call them. And it sounds to me like an attack on 364 00:21:19,470 --> 00:21:25,500 five eyes. Now the through a New Zealand, the UK, the US, all of 365 00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:31,320 us, it's your pivot to Indochina. There you go. It's so 366 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,180 much confusing. collected 367 00:21:33,180 --> 00:21:36,600 John C Dvorak: a names of 40 million people. Okay. Yeah. So 368 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,290 why it's called 369 00:21:37,290 --> 00:21:40,320 Adam Curry: Facebook, what are you talking about? No, 370 00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:42,060 John C Dvorak: many Facebook? 371 00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:46,920 Adam Curry: Many, many Facebook. So then I hear about that 372 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,720 Beijing is filing a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization 373 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,650 against the United States. Yes, this is a good story, the same 374 00:21:55,650 --> 00:21:58,650 issue that the European Union had on Well, I don't think the 375 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,190 European Union is filed any suit. They're complaining about 376 00:22:02,670 --> 00:22:08,010 the IRA, the infrastructure Reduction Act, which gives 377 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,150 incentives to us electric vehicle makers, and they're 378 00:22:12,150 --> 00:22:18,330 saying it's racist. It's, it's discriminatory. And now that's 379 00:22:18,330 --> 00:22:22,800 one thing, first of all, Boo China. That's one thing, but 380 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:30,360 then Janet Yellen, comes on Andrea Mitchell show and accuses 381 00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:31,170 China. 382 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,720 Unknown: And then he finally asked you about the New York 383 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,790 Times report, but other reporting that we've done on 384 00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:39,450 Elon Musk and his relationship with China, obviously, Tesla 385 00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:43,410 competing now against their cheaper EVs. But he's really 386 00:22:43,410 --> 00:22:47,220 dependent on that Chinese market, very tied in with them. 387 00:22:47,610 --> 00:22:53,160 He has huge defense contracts his satellites are satellites we 388 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,420 rely on for so much of our communication isn't a national 389 00:22:57,420 --> 00:23:03,180 security problem. For women and his rockets, of course, is it a 390 00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:06,030 national security problem for our government to have so much 391 00:23:06,030 --> 00:23:12,270 reliance on this one entrepreneur? Well, look, we 392 00:23:12,270 --> 00:23:18,840 take national security very seriously and want to protect 393 00:23:18,990 --> 00:23:24,420 our national security. Our desire is not to shut down 394 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,500 economic relations with China, we want to diversify our supply 395 00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:38,220 chains. But many American firms operate in China and gained from 396 00:23:38,220 --> 00:23:43,740 the ability to sell to China's large market. China obviously 397 00:23:43,740 --> 00:23:47,820 sells a lot in the United States. And the competition 398 00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:53,820 among our firms is by and large, a healthy thing. We want to 399 00:23:53,820 --> 00:23:59,400 stabilize that relationship and not shut it down. But also we 400 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,570 need to make sure that the playing field is level and we 401 00:24:03,570 --> 00:24:07,530 are concerned about Chinese subsidies and the impact on our 402 00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:08,160 firms. 403 00:24:08,820 --> 00:24:11,670 Adam Curry: So she's saying the Chinese are subsidizing their 404 00:24:11,670 --> 00:24:17,940 companies. Well, now now now brakeman clump wishes where we 405 00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:21,690 say in the old country, that brace that breaks my clog. 406 00:24:22,650 --> 00:24:24,780 John C Dvorak: Oh, terrible saying, 407 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,840 Adam Curry: Well, if you had wooden shoes, then you'd be 408 00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:32,460 you'd understand it. This is a lot. So are we going down into 409 00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:32,640 this 410 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,330 John C Dvorak: something going on right now? There is a mu BYD 411 00:24:36,330 --> 00:24:40,170 which is the company that was evey cars, supposedly going to 412 00:24:40,170 --> 00:24:43,860 build a mega factory in Mexico bloodbath, the bloodbath car, 413 00:24:43,860 --> 00:24:50,400 bloodbath company, BYD bloody your dream, you're so the 414 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,720 bloodbath company, BYD is rolling out this summer, a 415 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,560 massive campaign to introduce the BYD electric vehicle to the 416 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,590 United States, huh Interesting you can go to their website and 417 00:25:01,590 --> 00:25:03,690 you can see the movie about and they're gonna be they're gonna 418 00:25:03,690 --> 00:25:06,870 be sponsoring the big world cup or there's some soccer you have 419 00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:07,650 some soccer 420 00:25:07,710 --> 00:25:09,390 Adam Curry: well that's not that's not that's not how you 421 00:25:09,390 --> 00:25:10,770 get the Americans you know, I 422 00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:12,390 John C Dvorak: know but they don't really know they figured 423 00:25:12,390 --> 00:25:15,450 it out Americans are very slowly turning to this yeah they're 424 00:25:15,450 --> 00:25:18,330 Adam Curry: sponsoring UEFA which is the Euro chaotic that 425 00:25:18,330 --> 00:25:20,190 is very odd. Why would they but 426 00:25:20,190 --> 00:25:24,660 John C Dvorak: anyway so we have the this coming and supposed to 427 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:26,820 roll out to summer and we're going to start seeing we don't 428 00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:30,600 see it what Chinese cars what's the big threat? What Chinese car 429 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,160 is on the road? Name one. 430 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:36,570 Adam Curry: I can't that's what I thought they're all in Russia. 431 00:25:38,790 --> 00:25:41,190 John C Dvorak: Right? Why does even bother selling does they 432 00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:45,240 got Russia to market? Goodbye Mercedes. Maybe this whole thing 433 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,520 is about you setting yourself they bring down this bridge. 434 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,400 Mercedes can't bring cars here. They can't sell them to Russia. 435 00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:54,270 They're screwed. Maybe this is targeting them. Oh, whatever the 436 00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:54,810 case 437 00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:59,820 Adam Curry: like that. This? Okay, but they were I thought 438 00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:01,260 they were gonna put them in Mexico. 439 00:26:02,430 --> 00:26:06,750 John C Dvorak: But the Mercedes? No, the BYD. Oh no, they're 440 00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:09,630 gonna build them in Mexico so they can get cheaper labor and 441 00:26:09,630 --> 00:26:12,180 roll them into the country and save a few bucks a day. They're 442 00:26:12,180 --> 00:26:16,320 not building him here because no one's gonna let him do that. But 443 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,840 they are going to be rolled out this summer. But tonight, I 444 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,580 don't think it'd be the Mexican ones because I don't think that 445 00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:28,020 factories done or even started for all I know. Anyway, the this 446 00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:32,700 is all suspicious. And it's like a, you know, free trade is 447 00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:36,150 supposed to be free trade and we subsidize our people. They 448 00:26:36,150 --> 00:26:39,330 subsidize their people everybody subsidize, we're supposed to. 449 00:26:39,870 --> 00:26:42,900 Adam Curry: The thing is, it's such a joke. All of this to me 450 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:47,220 is a joke. We are in perpetual relationship with China. 451 00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:49,650 John C Dvorak: They buy it again. And there's nothing we 452 00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:51,090 can do about it. Well, no, 453 00:26:51,090 --> 00:26:53,370 Adam Curry: I mean, we they buy our debt and then they have 454 00:26:53,370 --> 00:26:55,560 dollars and what are you gonna do with the dollars? I'll go buy 455 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,870 some land? Buy some real estate buy San Francisco. Doesn't China 456 00:27:00,870 --> 00:27:03,030 own a lot of real estate in San Francisco? 457 00:27:03,180 --> 00:27:05,820 John C Dvorak: Not that I know of. I thought they did. Well, 458 00:27:05,820 --> 00:27:07,350 that would be a good ploy. 459 00:27:07,980 --> 00:27:10,890 Adam Curry: Wouldn't surprise me. That's what I always heard 460 00:27:10,980 --> 00:27:11,760 China. I'd 461 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,560 John C Dvorak: ever heard this on our ship. I mean, Chinese is 462 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,480 a big Chinatown in San Francisco. There's a lot of 463 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,130 Chinese in San Francisco and 464 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,390 Adam Curry: Roush. 465 00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:24,300 John C Dvorak: Rouse them get rid of them. They've tried to do 466 00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:25,860 that before how and why 467 00:27:25,860 --> 00:27:29,310 Adam Curry: buyers from China are snatching up Bay Area homes. 468 00:27:30,390 --> 00:27:32,070 John C Dvorak: The Arizona San Francisco Oh, 469 00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:34,800 Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Okay, we're gonna be technical about 470 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,300 it. This is from 2014 471 00:27:37,650 --> 00:27:39,600 John C Dvorak: be technical about it now. Okay. Well, 472 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,630 Adam Curry: the Bay Area, California, you know, the part 473 00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:43,320 you care about? Well, 474 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,630 John C Dvorak: if I was in China, I would be by I know in 475 00:27:45,660 --> 00:27:49,530 my head where I live, which is in Albany Hill, I called China 476 00:27:49,530 --> 00:27:49,980 hill. 477 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,120 Adam Curry: But isn't the whole point that we're just in this, 478 00:27:54,270 --> 00:27:58,170 we are the customer, we buy their stuff? They buy our debt, 479 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,270 it's the circle, it goes all it? I mean, actually, Germany had 480 00:28:03,270 --> 00:28:09,570 this with Russia, which is gone now. Germany would build 481 00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:14,970 Mercedes, you know, sell them to Russia. And Russia supplied all 482 00:28:14,970 --> 00:28:18,480 kinds of stuff back to them, including, you know, Deutsche 483 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,500 Marks until we throw them off of Swift. 484 00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:26,160 John C Dvorak: With a bunch of idiots. 485 00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:31,650 Adam Curry: Oh, man, did you? I think I had was it here? Here it 486 00:28:31,650 --> 00:28:38,100 is. Reuters reports now, Swift planning launch of new central 487 00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:44,820 bank digital currency platform in 12 months. You know, you 488 00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:45,900 gotta wonder, 489 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,260 John C Dvorak: you know which side of the argument you're on? 490 00:28:49,740 --> 00:28:50,340 Yeah, 491 00:28:50,370 --> 00:28:52,980 Adam Curry: of course, I'm, I'm totally on the side of that. 492 00:28:52,980 --> 00:28:55,020 They're going to do this. It's inevitable. 493 00:28:56,220 --> 00:28:58,890 John C Dvorak: So I didn't say I mean, it may do it. It doesn't 494 00:28:58,890 --> 00:29:02,940 mean it's gonna be a success. Oh, no, we're gonna get rid of 495 00:29:02,940 --> 00:29:06,330 cash. I'm in your life right before your dad. Yes. 496 00:29:06,330 --> 00:29:10,290 Adam Curry: Before you're dead even Yes. Yes. It's already gone 497 00:29:10,290 --> 00:29:14,880 practically. For all practical purposes. Yes. Oh, we're 498 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,910 definitely going to get rid of cash. Definitely. Well, 499 00:29:17,910 --> 00:29:20,520 John C Dvorak: that's a huge mistake. Why? 500 00:29:21,090 --> 00:29:24,840 Adam Curry: But I mean, the whole point of a digital central 501 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,860 bank digital currency is to easily be able to inflate and 502 00:29:28,860 --> 00:29:32,730 deflate and manage you know, the money. The money money. Yeah, 503 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,960 take Yes. Exactly. To take your money. That's and they know what 504 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:42,330 they just got one step closer. And Texas slim has been has been 505 00:29:42,330 --> 00:29:45,510 warning about this. We've been talking about it for quite a 506 00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:48,990 while and they finally did it in the omnibus bill. Well, you're 507 00:29:48,990 --> 00:29:53,070 gonna hear Massie and some rando rancher, well, 508 00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,980 Unknown: you know, the left wants to ban cattle and before 509 00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:59,160 you can ban anything you need a registry you need to know where 510 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,280 it's at and who into it. And that's why they want to tag 511 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,700 cattle. We've seen it happen in Europe. Now on the right, you've 512 00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,700 got some cronies who stand to make some money from these ear 513 00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:13,830 tags. They're the ones who get the $15 million earmark doesn't 514 00:30:13,830 --> 00:30:17,970 go to USDA, it's going to quote stakeholders. That is a code 515 00:30:17,970 --> 00:30:22,290 word for private entities are getting a handout. And what 516 00:30:22,290 --> 00:30:24,960 they'll do, they'll verticalized the industry with this the big 517 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,080 corporations, you know, you just talked about China, there for 518 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,140 corporations control meat processing United States, once 519 00:30:31,140 --> 00:30:34,470 owned by China, one's own Brazil, by Brazil, American 520 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:38,100 ranchers will be working for those organizations if this 521 00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,500 tracking goes through, because they'll verticalized the 522 00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:41,130 industry 523 00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:43,650 said, What's your response to this tracking of cattle? Are 524 00:30:43,650 --> 00:30:44,640 you concerned as well? 525 00:30:44,730 --> 00:30:48,690 Oh, yes, I am. It is the key that opens the door 526 00:30:48,690 --> 00:30:52,200 to end to the end of independent producers across the country. 527 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,060 And it is a private property rights issue that we really have 528 00:30:57,060 --> 00:31:01,590 to consider here. When we start talking about RFID ID and data 529 00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:05,400 monitoring monitoring of farmers and ranchers and their cattle 530 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,180 herd size, we open up to what the door for what is going on in 531 00:31:09,180 --> 00:31:13,230 the European Union. And under the rules of sustainability, 532 00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:18,840 sustainable development, we know that the RFID has led to a land 533 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,530 seizure in the name of climate change. So once we open that 534 00:31:22,530 --> 00:31:26,160 door, there's no going back and they can come and they can 535 00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:30,000 monitor, measure, report and verify everything that's going 536 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,890 on your on your farmer ranch and then maybe down the road in the 537 00:31:34,890 --> 00:31:39,150 name of climate change they can come and dictate to you the 538 00:31:39,150 --> 00:31:42,510 rules of their production which is subjective on from a third 539 00:31:42,510 --> 00:31:45,990 party verification and it is extremely dangerous to private 540 00:31:45,990 --> 00:31:49,350 property rights. This is a Liberty taker not a Liberty 541 00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:50,310 maker and 542 00:31:50,340 --> 00:31:53,820 Adam Curry: this is all part of what Larry Fink from Blackrock 543 00:31:53,820 --> 00:32:01,260 calls you know I was he calls it a commodity now it's like 544 00:32:01,530 --> 00:32:06,000 creating an wish I remember what Larry Fink of Blackrock said 545 00:32:06,420 --> 00:32:10,050 tokenizing every asset that's what is tokenizing so they want 546 00:32:10,050 --> 00:32:17,880 to tokenize the herd and then you can of course you can do all 547 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,940 kinds of financial stuff once it's tokenized and you can track 548 00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:24,450 it and you put your key put your cow on the blockchain on 549 00:32:24,450 --> 00:32:28,920 whatever CB DC blockchain there is and then you have total 550 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:35,040 control total control this is this is happening this is really 551 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,010 happening the except you know these guys they should have 552 00:32:38,010 --> 00:32:41,310 Texas slim on don't get this Rando guy on Slim's much better 553 00:32:41,430 --> 00:32:46,500 better look better had everything much better. So yeah, 554 00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:50,640 the everything's going to be digital and although we keep 555 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,470 laughing about climate change they're all so crazy that it's 556 00:32:55,470 --> 00:33:00,240 creeping up on us bit by bit and then before you know it sorry, 557 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,200 no be for you because you drove too much you don't have an Eevee 558 00:33:05,910 --> 00:33:08,550 John C Dvorak: so the thing that didn't get much news coverage by 559 00:33:08,550 --> 00:33:13,560 the mainstream but was on some of the was on YouTube and 560 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,670 elsewhere was the big hailstorm in Texas that took out a solar 561 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,340 array that's miles and miles of these panels all busted up by 562 00:33:23,340 --> 00:33:28,530 the by the by the incoming mail. Gee, who would have ever thought 563 00:33:28,530 --> 00:33:31,440 that was that even covered in the local news where you are? 564 00:33:31,470 --> 00:33:34,080 Yes. Yeah, it wasn't covered here 565 00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:36,300 Adam Curry: a little while your California you don't care about 566 00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,280 the rest of the nation. Dead Well, 567 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,160 John C Dvorak: that's there's truth to that. Okay. Here's your 568 00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:44,220 new solar array. Here's the solar energy clip I 569 00:33:44,220 --> 00:33:47,460 Adam Curry: Have you have you have a clip about it. Oh, not 570 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:49,350 John C Dvorak: about that because I can't I never saw it 571 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:50,760 except on YouTube. By 572 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,190 Adam Curry: the way when when it hails and we've had a couple 573 00:33:53,550 --> 00:33:57,330 good hail storms. Two things happen one you keep getting 574 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,780 emails Hey, it's roof repair guy here. Want me to check out your 575 00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:04,050 roof. And the other thing is you always hear someone some poor 576 00:34:04,050 --> 00:34:08,700 sap like oh man. My kid parked the car on the street. 577 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:12,840 John C Dvorak: Didn't think of course he had all dinged up 578 00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:16,500 Adam Curry: windshields broken, windshields broken and love. You 579 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:16,650 can 580 00:34:16,650 --> 00:34:18,360 John C Dvorak: break a windshield with a hail stone and 581 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,060 you can break a solar panel with one Treasury 582 00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:23,820 Unknown: Secretary Janet Yellen toward a factory in Georgia 583 00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:27,150 today that will soon start making solar cells for the first 584 00:34:27,150 --> 00:34:30,210 time in seven years. And Bureau Scott Horsley reports Yellen 585 00:34:30,210 --> 00:34:32,640 says federal tax credits helped pave the way for the plants 586 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:33,840 reopening Neva 587 00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:36,479 factory in Norcross, Georgia. It was one of the first plants in 588 00:34:36,479 --> 00:34:39,419 the country to manufacture solar cells when it opened back in 589 00:34:39,419 --> 00:34:43,439 2007. It struggled to compete though with cheaper solar 590 00:34:43,439 --> 00:34:46,889 imports, and the factory was shuttered 10 years later. Now 591 00:34:46,889 --> 00:34:49,919 it's and he was trying again. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen 592 00:34:49,919 --> 00:34:53,309 credits clean energy tax breaks and the inflation reduction Oh. 593 00:34:54,689 --> 00:34:56,219 Domestic manufacturer X 594 00:34:56,220 --> 00:35:01,590 ray thanks to the IRA investing in clean energy is a good value 595 00:35:01,590 --> 00:35:06,120 proposition. And for the future yellow notes 596 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,310 Adam Curry: that solar energy accounts for more than half the 597 00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:12,030 new power generating capacity added in the US last year. So 598 00:35:12,030 --> 00:35:14,940 this is just proof this is proof that one wasn't a trillion 599 00:35:14,940 --> 00:35:19,380 dollars I think the inflation Reduction Act was I think a 600 00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:22,350 trillion plus yeah a trillion plus dollars proof that it just 601 00:35:22,350 --> 00:35:26,220 went to private companies may go I'm obey Janet, because you sent 602 00:35:26,220 --> 00:35:29,730 it to us we'll make some solar panels. Yeah, it'd be great. 603 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,500 John C Dvorak: You wish to in other words, they couldn't be 604 00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,070 profitable making them competing. Exactly. We think a 605 00:35:35,070 --> 00:35:37,980 level playing field with the Chinese came in and just blew 606 00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:39,420 everybody away. China's 607 00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:42,240 Adam Curry: right them. They shouldn't be suing us. We're no 608 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:46,170 good, though. They're no good either. Hey, oh, it's 609 00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:47,610 John C Dvorak: just the system's no good. 610 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,660 Adam Curry: Since we're on climate change. I have a big 611 00:35:51,660 --> 00:35:56,190 mystery answered. Something that we've been talking about on this 612 00:35:56,190 --> 00:36:05,040 podcast for well, probably since its existence. And if it came 613 00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:08,250 out of the blue all of a sudden from the high wire, you know, 614 00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:09,570 the high wire Dell big tree. 615 00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:13,440 John C Dvorak: I'm familiar with it. I've never listened to it. 616 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,650 Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, during COVID He had all kinds of great 617 00:36:16,650 --> 00:36:19,770 information. Oh, well, good for you. I think Dell used to 618 00:36:19,770 --> 00:36:24,060 produce medical shows on M five M like the doctors I believe he 619 00:36:24,060 --> 00:36:25,230 produced that one. No 620 00:36:25,230 --> 00:36:27,090 John C Dvorak: Good for him. Yeah. So he Yeah, we need people 621 00:36:27,090 --> 00:36:30,420 like this. I guess he's Yes, exactly. Because he can't get a 622 00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:31,800 job anywhere else. 623 00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:37,530 Adam Curry: So we had on climate engineering expert, Jim Lee. And 624 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:43,410 man, that he he just laid it all out and explained why we've been 625 00:36:43,410 --> 00:36:48,150 seeing all those Tic Tac Toe things in the sky, which is 626 00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:50,640 seems to have increased incredibly in the past. Do you 627 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,150 have a lot of chemtrails in the sky where you are? Or you have 628 00:36:54,210 --> 00:36:57,960 nothing? Nothing ever happened? Nothing bad in California. You 629 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,260 know, 630 00:36:58,290 --> 00:37:03,090 John C Dvorak: there's I saw like one case, one trail maybe a 631 00:37:03,090 --> 00:37:05,130 week ago. No. And oh, 632 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,110 Adam Curry: so but you've seen the pictures of people taking 633 00:37:07,110 --> 00:37:11,490 pictures of the sky? Yeah, I've seen these criss cross. Which it 634 00:37:11,490 --> 00:37:16,980 Look, I've been a pilot since 2006. I've never seen it so bad 635 00:37:16,980 --> 00:37:20,910 as it is now. But you know what? This guy has solved the mystery 636 00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:22,170 of the chemtrails, 637 00:37:22,350 --> 00:37:26,280 Unknown: the Obama administration while everybody 638 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:31,410 was having the Trump Hillary Clinton election, you know, wall 639 00:37:31,410 --> 00:37:34,320 to wall coverage. Everything always happens. While nobody's 640 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,650 looking. Right? The Obama administration signed the 641 00:37:37,650 --> 00:37:42,180 federal alternative aviation fuel emissions pact with the 642 00:37:42,180 --> 00:37:48,240 European Union, China and the ICA. This can be summed up in 643 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:54,270 just a couple word biofuels for contrail control, which goes 644 00:37:54,270 --> 00:37:59,010 back to what alrik Schumann was saying, to change the chemical 645 00:37:59,010 --> 00:38:03,750 constituents coming out of jet aircraft, so that there's less 646 00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:08,850 warming, more cooling contrails. So I got in touch with the guy 647 00:38:08,850 --> 00:38:14,130 at the FAA, who was testing the biofuels. His name is Dr. Ranga. 648 00:38:14,130 --> 00:38:20,160 Sai how thorry that he's the head of the FAA aviation climate 649 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,810 change research initiative. And I specifically asked him, and I 650 00:38:24,810 --> 00:38:28,770 sent him the documentation as to what did alrik Shuman mean by 651 00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,730 less warming, more cooling contrails predictable for 652 00:38:32,730 --> 00:38:37,860 operational planning. He says, We want more contrail induced 653 00:38:37,860 --> 00:38:45,120 cirrus clouds by day and none by night. This is this is intent. I 654 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,590 have this signed in writing directly from the head of the 655 00:38:49,590 --> 00:38:51,930 FAA s. ACC era. 656 00:38:52,170 --> 00:38:54,360 Adam Curry: So if you've ever looked up in the sky, he has 657 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,590 seen all those, I'll just call out call them contrails. They 658 00:38:58,590 --> 00:39:03,120 don't evaporate, they eventually spread out and become a cloud 659 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,650 cover cirrus clouds, which are the flat clouds. And this, 660 00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:12,210 apparently what this Jim is saying comes from a specific 661 00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:16,740 mixture of biofuels that is used in the aviation industry. And it 662 00:39:16,740 --> 00:39:20,730 is in fact, what is creating these grids in the sky. Now 663 00:39:20,730 --> 00:39:25,410 Unknown: you look and you see American Airlines pairing up 664 00:39:25,410 --> 00:39:30,660 with Google artificial intelligence to route planes 665 00:39:30,690 --> 00:39:36,270 around contrail forming spaces in the sky. These are called Ice 666 00:39:36,270 --> 00:39:41,070 supersaturated regions, basically Google AI and goes 667 00:39:41,130 --> 00:39:46,230 back to what Ulrich Schumann had actually created in 2010. He 668 00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:49,650 pretty he brings something called co sip. The contrail 669 00:39:49,650 --> 00:39:55,710 Cirrus prediction tool. CO CIP is involved is evolved to be 670 00:39:55,710 --> 00:39:59,520 part of what's called the next gen transportation system in 671 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,240 America. Oh, that's what makes all the tic tac toes in the sky 672 00:40:03,690 --> 00:40:04,170 will learn. 673 00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:09,120 John C Dvorak: If it was Google AI wouldn't knows contrails be 674 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:09,720 black? 675 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,650 Adam Curry: No. Why? Oh, 676 00:40:14,940 --> 00:40:19,080 Unknown: wow, oh, hey, oh, part of what's called the next gen 677 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,130 transportation system in America. That's what makes all 678 00:40:23,130 --> 00:40:28,290 the tic tac toes in the sky. It is a supercomputer that routes 679 00:40:28,290 --> 00:40:32,700 all the flights. And inside that supercomputer is a subsystem 680 00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:41,040 called the aviation environment design tool. AED T in the ADT, 681 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,810 it tells planes, at what altitude to fly, how much fuel 682 00:40:45,810 --> 00:40:50,130 to burn all of these things. And it takes in environmental 683 00:40:50,130 --> 00:40:53,700 concerns into how it routes flights. And 684 00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:56,580 Adam Curry: that brings us right back to the Biden Administration 685 00:40:56,580 --> 00:41:00,420 with an executive order which we already knew was coming. And 686 00:41:00,450 --> 00:41:01,050 this is it. 687 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,900 Unknown: What did the Biden administration just can't come 688 00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:08,850 out with a report on solar radiation modification? What 689 00:41:08,850 --> 00:41:12,870 three areas of study did they say they want to focus on? 690 00:41:13,110 --> 00:41:16,740 Stratospheric Aerosol injection, may call it solar radiation 691 00:41:16,740 --> 00:41:21,810 modification, and cirrus cloud theny. So what you have here is 692 00:41:21,810 --> 00:41:26,700 a grand conspiracy between the scientists who are trying to, as 693 00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:30,330 they would put it, mitigate global warming impacts from 694 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,650 aviation. But in reality, what they're doing is they're turning 695 00:41:34,650 --> 00:41:39,750 what's been 60 to 80 years worth of pollution into an active 696 00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:41,310 geoengineering program. 697 00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:46,290 Adam Curry: I think it makes total sense. They've always been 698 00:41:46,290 --> 00:41:51,360 doing this. And we always knew that one day they'll come I was 699 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,970 oh, no, we've got to do this aerosol Bill Gates. Hello, Bill 700 00:41:53,970 --> 00:41:56,610 Gates. We got to this aerosol stuff because it's for climate 701 00:41:56,610 --> 00:41:58,800 change. Well, they've been doing it all along. 702 00:41:59,310 --> 00:42:03,150 John C Dvorak: Well, when I was a kid, they were always seeding 703 00:42:03,150 --> 00:42:06,330 the clouds in California constantly Sure. Seeding Yeah, 704 00:42:06,330 --> 00:42:09,780 that's one thing what else still claim it's still modification? 705 00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:11,220 Yes, yes. But 706 00:42:11,220 --> 00:42:13,920 Adam Curry: this is people had been noticing they've been 707 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,700 noticing the criss crosses in the sky. And here's your answer. 708 00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:21,930 Your This is the time remember next gen, I was all over next 709 00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:24,570 gen because that was going to be a whole bunch of things. And 710 00:42:24,570 --> 00:42:28,500 while I was looking at the pilot was airplanes and how they were 711 00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:32,790 going to decrease separation with a really with the under the 712 00:42:32,790 --> 00:42:37,020 hood as they were changing the fuel, so that we have more of 713 00:42:37,020 --> 00:42:41,280 these clouds that spread out and is basically ruining our days. 714 00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:44,490 It's it ruins 715 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,490 John C Dvorak: you go in there, but okay, ruins your day. 716 00:42:49,890 --> 00:42:53,220 Adam Curry: You know, nice blue skies. Oh, no, we can't have 717 00:42:53,220 --> 00:42:55,770 that. These people are crazy. 718 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,740 John C Dvorak: Well, that's for sure. 719 00:42:58,770 --> 00:43:04,830 Adam Curry: I ruining our blue skies. Okay, one more climate 720 00:43:04,830 --> 00:43:07,770 change clip, then we can move away from that. This is the 721 00:43:07,770 --> 00:43:10,830 farmers are protesting once again, they're in Europe. 722 00:43:11,070 --> 00:43:13,740 They're in the year, a year now to control in Europe. They're 723 00:43:13,740 --> 00:43:16,860 mad and they're going to Brussels. They're throwing poop 724 00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:22,590 everywhere. They're starting fires. But just so you know, the 725 00:43:22,590 --> 00:43:25,560 people that they are looking to the politicians they're looking 726 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:30,660 to, to solve their issues to help them reduce these 727 00:43:30,660 --> 00:43:34,920 ridiculous climate change regulations. There are let me 728 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:40,620 see what what political bent Do you think they have? Could it be 729 00:43:40,620 --> 00:43:45,030 Oh, tell me far right. Yeah, probably count the number of 730 00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:45,570 times. 731 00:43:47,340 --> 00:43:50,310 Unknown: For the third time in a few weeks, firecrackers and 732 00:43:50,310 --> 00:43:53,850 smoke dark in the sky in Brussels EU court. The 733 00:43:53,850 --> 00:43:57,030 concessions given to them by the EU so far have not been enough 734 00:43:57,030 --> 00:44:02,700 for these farmers, particularly the youngest among young people 735 00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:06,630 have a lot of expenses, so are most in need of fair income. For 736 00:44:06,630 --> 00:44:10,980 the moment. This anger could push these young people to move 737 00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:14,970 away from the traditional vote of the agricultural. It's 738 00:44:14,970 --> 00:44:18,930 clear that it was more center right or even right wing. Here, 739 00:44:19,140 --> 00:44:21,540 all the cards are reshuffled, and we don't know who the 740 00:44:21,540 --> 00:44:22,710 farmers will turn to, 741 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,100 especially since for several months in the European 742 00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:28,830 Parliament, far right parties have been moving into 743 00:44:28,830 --> 00:44:31,980 traditional territory of the array by casting themselves as 744 00:44:31,980 --> 00:44:36,030 the spokespeople for farmers the embrace of state interventionism 745 00:44:36,030 --> 00:44:39,570 has been an ideological evolution for certain far right 746 00:44:39,570 --> 00:44:39,840 groups 747 00:44:42,030 --> 00:44:45,000 can work very clearly in the 80s, we had far right groups, 748 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,880 typically the National Front in France, which were more of a 749 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,360 neoliberal trend, but they have evolved their discourse instead 750 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,300 of elements because it's an opportunity to capitalize on 751 00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:57,450 societal needs and perhaps further broaden their electoral 752 00:44:57,450 --> 00:44:58,080 base. 753 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,500 The far right other target As the environmental measures of 754 00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:04,410 the European Green Deal, which remain at the heart of the 755 00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:07,620 debate, despite already being significantly watered down 756 00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:08,160 recently 757 00:45:08,340 --> 00:45:11,340 Adam Curry: by the EU, there you go. What do we count? Yeah, far 758 00:45:11,340 --> 00:45:11,760 John C Dvorak: right. 759 00:45:11,820 --> 00:45:14,880 Adam Curry: Far Right. The far right, whatever that means. I 760 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:20,490 think they said farm right. Was farm right? Yeah. Well, they 761 00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:24,630 don't you know, if you are protesting and you're a farmer, 762 00:45:24,660 --> 00:45:26,220 you're basically a Nazi. 763 00:45:27,060 --> 00:45:28,950 John C Dvorak: That's yeah, that makes nothing but sense. That's 764 00:45:28,950 --> 00:45:32,370 Adam Curry: the whole idea. Well, yeah, you what? Oh, no, 765 00:45:32,370 --> 00:45:34,230 no, you're part of the far right. 766 00:45:35,220 --> 00:45:38,520 John C Dvorak: Not right. Not conservative, although 767 00:45:38,610 --> 00:45:41,400 Adam Curry: that bastion of freedom. They're in Berkeley, 768 00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:45,090 right where you are, you know, the ones that don't care about 769 00:45:45,090 --> 00:45:51,120 the rest of the country. Right. Yeah. Are repealing repealing 770 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,600 its controversial ban on natural gas appliances? 771 00:45:54,780 --> 00:45:56,790 John C Dvorak: Yeah, they couldn't. There was a little 772 00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:59,100 old. Yeah, nobody was buying into this one. Yeah, 773 00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:02,910 Adam Curry: but New York is still all in there yet. He is no 774 00:46:02,910 --> 00:46:07,200 more pizza ovens. We actually learned them into the idea. No 775 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:13,890 more monsters. It's crazy. The UK though the Oxfordshire city 776 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:18,750 county council approved plans this week to lock residents into 777 00:46:18,750 --> 00:46:21,630 one of six zones to save the planet from global warning 778 00:46:21,660 --> 00:46:27,060 warming. Yep, this is the 15 Minute neighborhood, instead of 779 00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:30,270 saying neighborhood under the new scheme of residents wants to 780 00:46:30,270 --> 00:46:31,290 leave their zone. 781 00:46:32,970 --> 00:46:34,620 John C Dvorak: I love that. Yeah. Well, you have to get a 782 00:46:34,620 --> 00:46:35,160 visa. 783 00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,090 Adam Curry: Citizen. If you want to leave your zone, they'll need 784 00:46:39,090 --> 00:46:41,370 permission. Yes, there it is. There's your visa from the 785 00:46:41,370 --> 00:46:45,210 council. And they will decide who was worthy of freedom. I 786 00:46:45,210 --> 00:46:49,530 think this is written with some slant here. Under the new 787 00:46:49,530 --> 00:46:51,900 scheme, residents will be allowed to leave their zone a 788 00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:56,790 maximum of 100 days per year. So you have a there's your budget. 789 00:46:57,330 --> 00:47:01,980 There's your climate budget 100 days a year, don't try to buy 790 00:47:01,980 --> 00:47:04,410 anything outside of the zone. Because they'll know 791 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,340 John C Dvorak: you go Amazon know Amazon's behind it, you 792 00:47:08,340 --> 00:47:09,180 know that right? But 793 00:47:09,180 --> 00:47:12,030 Adam Curry: if you go to Well, I'm sure they helping you. But 794 00:47:12,030 --> 00:47:15,630 if you go to another zone and get something to eat with your 795 00:47:15,630 --> 00:47:20,760 cashless society, they'll know that every resident has to 796 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,600 register their car. And then of course, their cars will be 797 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,940 tracked via cameras around the city. It's all coming. It's all 798 00:47:29,940 --> 00:47:34,830 coming. It's so amazing. Between that and four years of Trump, we 799 00:47:34,830 --> 00:47:39,450 have to stop after you know, in was it, 800 00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:44,430 John C Dvorak: the show was 2028 is the end of no agenda 801 00:47:44,430 --> 00:47:46,710 Adam Curry: just rise, the end of the show just has to end we 802 00:47:46,710 --> 00:47:49,920 can't handle it anymore. We don't have the bandwidth for it. 803 00:47:50,940 --> 00:47:58,470 And then, of course, with war in Ukraine, with with the terror 804 00:47:58,470 --> 00:48:03,390 attacks in Moscow, which now I think we're Putin says we're 805 00:48:03,390 --> 00:48:09,330 both right. It was Ukraine, with the US in the UK. So it wasn't 806 00:48:09,330 --> 00:48:12,360 just Ukraine. It was Ukraine with the US in the UK, which by 807 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:17,610 the way, a lot of people have deconstructed Victoria Newlands 808 00:48:17,610 --> 00:48:25,140 comments at the end of February in in Ukraine in Kyiv. embsay 809 00:48:25,140 --> 00:48:27,570 Oh, yeah. And she was already telegraphing it, which I thought 810 00:48:27,570 --> 00:48:31,200 was about the Taurus missiles, which Germany didn't give. But 811 00:48:31,230 --> 00:48:34,230 here's that 38 second clip again, where she talks about 812 00:48:34,410 --> 00:48:36,570 some mighty big surprise surprises, 813 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:42,060 Unknown: I have to say that I leave tonight, more encouraged 814 00:48:42,780 --> 00:48:50,520 about the unity and the results about 2024 and its absolute 815 00:48:50,670 --> 00:48:56,040 strategic importance for Ukraine. I also leave more 816 00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:04,230 confident that even as Ukraine strengthens its defenses. Mr. 817 00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:08,790 Putin is going to get some nice surprises on the battlefield, 818 00:49:09,060 --> 00:49:14,340 and that Ukraine will make some very strong success as you see, 819 00:49:14,340 --> 00:49:15,840 Adam Curry: that's where I disagree with the 820 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,110 deconstructionist she says on the battlefield. 821 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,570 John C Dvorak: Yes, I agree. I agree with you. So I 822 00:49:21,570 --> 00:49:24,690 Adam Curry: don't think I don't think that was any telegraphing 823 00:49:24,690 --> 00:49:28,350 by any means. And there's some pretty some very lengthy 824 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,850 deconstructions of it. 825 00:49:31,980 --> 00:49:35,370 John C Dvorak: But whatever we'll take a concert hall 826 00:49:35,370 --> 00:49:38,220 outside of Moscow is quite on the battle the 827 00:49:38,220 --> 00:49:42,360 Adam Curry: battlefield and now Bo now ISIS ks every all ISIS K 828 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,820 they're threatening France they're going to the threatening 829 00:49:44,820 --> 00:49:49,050 the Olympics, so it's always fun.

Okay. 889 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,330 Unknown: What I did say is that there were very curious things 890 00:53:09,330 --> 00:53:12,000 taking place.

And by the way, if you notice, Diddy is now 901 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,340 a rapper. What happened to music industry executive, which is 902 00:53:56,340 --> 00:54:00,270 what he really is, because he runs all these labels and sub 903 00:54:00,270 --> 00:54:06,210 labels.

Well, 915 00:54:45,780 --> 00:54:49,410 John C Dvorak: the reason I say it's not is because it's like 916 00:54:49,410 --> 00:54:54,510 watching a hysterical old lady.

The FBI Seattle division has 1039 01:02:22,350 --> 01:02:25,740 sent those passengers a letter it says we have identified you 1040 01:02:25,740 --> 01:02:29,670 as the possible victim of a crime isn't unusual for a letter 1041 01:02:29,670 --> 01:02:31,080 like this to be sent out. 1042 01:02:31,110 --> 01:02:35,340 This is extraordinary for the DOJ and the FBI to be issuing 1043 01:02:35,340 --> 01:02:36,030 this letter 1044 01:02:36,060 --> 01:02:39,420 attorney Mark Lindquist said the 27 passengers he represents in a 1045 01:02:39,420 --> 01:02:42,510 lawsuit against Boeing and Alaska Airlines received the 1046 01:02:42,510 --> 01:02:43,080 notice 1047 01:02:43,110 --> 01:02:46,890 this letter is a result of cumulative errors by Boeing 1048 01:02:46,890 --> 01:02:50,970 cumulative negligence. The DOJ has just lost their patience it 1049 01:02:50,970 --> 01:02:51,720 seems while 1050 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,870 the embattled company is not named in the FBIs letter 1051 01:02:54,930 --> 01:02:55,560 linquist 1052 01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,800 says everyone's drawing the inference that the target is 1053 01:02:58,800 --> 01:02:59,340 Boeing, 1054 01:02:59,370 --> 01:03:02,760 Alaska Airlines tells como in an event like this, it's normal for 1055 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,670 the DOJ to be conducting an investigation. We are fully 1056 01:03:05,670 --> 01:03:08,370 cooperating and do not believe we are a target of the 1057 01:03:08,370 --> 01:03:11,880 investigation. Boeing simply said they weren't commenting 1058 01:03:11,910 --> 01:03:15,300 linquist says the DOJ is working to see if there's grounds for 1059 01:03:15,300 --> 01:03:16,770 new criminal charges, 1060 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,330 Dora replied blew out 16,000 feet. There were a variety of 1061 01:03:21,330 --> 01:03:26,580 injuries had this happened at cruising altitude, you likely 1062 01:03:26,580 --> 01:03:29,250 would have seen people sucked out of that hole. The pilot may 1063 01:03:29,250 --> 01:03:33,030 have gone unconscious due to hypoxia. The plane may have gone 1064 01:03:33,030 --> 01:03:33,690 down and 1065 01:03:33,690 --> 01:03:36,540 in this case, the attorney welcomes a federal 1066 01:03:36,540 --> 01:03:37,710 investigation. We 1067 01:03:37,710 --> 01:03:41,820 want accountability. We want answers. And we want safer 1068 01:03:41,820 --> 01:03:43,800 planes from Boeing. Yeah, 1069 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,700 Adam Curry: I agree with that. We definitely want safer planes 1070 01:03:47,700 --> 01:03:53,400 from Boeing boots on the ground, of course. Word is spirit 1071 01:03:53,430 --> 01:03:56,610 Aerosystems these are the guys who actually were split off from 1072 01:03:56,610 --> 01:04:02,520 Boeing I think will be Boeing again by June 2025. The 1073 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,700 transition will start this June will take one year to complete 1074 01:04:06,450 --> 01:04:09,270 of course very complicated because after Boeing sold this 1075 01:04:09,270 --> 01:04:12,720 Wichita division to what became spirit almost 20 years ago, 1076 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,140 they've taken in work from Airbus Sikorsky Bell and others 1077 01:04:16,140 --> 01:04:19,350 something Boeing will take it all and spirit will just cease 1078 01:04:19,350 --> 01:04:22,500 to exist other think others think Boeing will buy the 1079 01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:27,360 commercial part and the defense part will remain autonomous. We 1080 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,970 should have a better idea in a few weeks boots on the ground in 1081 01:04:29,970 --> 01:04:37,080 the industry close to the fire. So that looks more and more like 1082 01:04:37,650 --> 01:04:40,650 military industrial complex work is involved here too. 1083 01:04:41,580 --> 01:04:46,560 John C Dvorak: Obviously, yeah. You don't want to change the 1084 01:04:47,010 --> 01:04:48,540 direction of the cash cow. 1085 01:04:49,140 --> 01:04:52,080 Adam Curry: Well, no, I never thought that I would that I 1086 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:57,030 would be pro Airbus. Because you know, they're basically plastic. 1087 01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:02,400 I like sheet metal and rivets but not these These guys are no 1088 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:03,000 good. 1089 01:05:03,810 --> 01:05:05,640 John C Dvorak: I don't have any clips on this but I want to make 1090 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,590 some commentary on Bobby The Op 1091 01:05:07,620 --> 01:05:09,510 Adam Curry: I have a clip to set us up. 1092 01:05:10,170 --> 01:05:11,340 John C Dvorak: Good. Here we go. Robert 1093 01:05:11,340 --> 01:05:13,980 Unknown: F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a relatively unknown 1094 01:05:13,980 --> 01:05:16,440 political new cover as his running mate in the race for the 1095 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,560 White House. Silicon Valley lawyer Nicole Shanahan will join 1096 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,790 his independent ticket as they seek to win over voters unhappy 1097 01:05:23,790 --> 01:05:26,640 with a Biden Trump rematch Shanahan is the ex wife of 1098 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:30,450 Google's co founder and says she shares Kennedy's concerns about 1099 01:05:30,450 --> 01:05:32,610 the environment and vaccines. 1100 01:05:33,630 --> 01:05:37,440 There is only one candidate I have met for president who takes 1101 01:05:37,470 --> 01:05:40,380 the chronic disease epidemic seriously. It is Robert F. 1102 01:05:40,380 --> 01:05:45,420 Kennedy Jr. and I will be his ally in making our nation 1103 01:05:45,420 --> 01:05:46,320 healthy again. 1104 01:05:47,310 --> 01:05:51,360 Shanahan has deep pockets she donated $4 million to a Super 1105 01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,580 PAC that bought a Superbowl commercial. 1106 01:05:54,300 --> 01:05:56,460 Adam Curry: I'd have some thoughts too, but you go ahead. 1107 01:05:58,050 --> 01:06:01,050 John C Dvorak: So this woman is the one behind that Kennedy ad 1108 01:06:01,050 --> 01:06:04,560 that ran on the Super Bowl. That was a top throwback to the 60s. 1109 01:06:04,620 --> 01:06:07,530 Of course, she wasn't born until 84 or something like that she 1110 01:06:07,530 --> 01:06:11,730 was doesn't even know who Kennedy was. But okay, so she's 1111 01:06:11,730 --> 01:06:19,470 somehow responsible for that ad. She was brought in when Kennedy 1112 01:06:19,470 --> 01:06:22,260 first came in as an independent and and he looks like he's 1113 01:06:22,260 --> 01:06:25,470 polling for about 12% As we speak, he gets on all the 1114 01:06:25,470 --> 01:06:27,600 ballots, which she can assure because she's got a lot of 1115 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:30,720 money. That's it was the first sir good clip the 1116 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,610 Adam Curry: Sergey Brin, settle 1117 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,800 John C Dvorak: he was married to strike a rent for a little while 1118 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:40,290 she met him at a yoga camp and got pregnant had a kid here they 1119 01:06:40,290 --> 01:06:41,160 got to did you 1120 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,410 Adam Curry: hear that? Supposedly the reason they split 1121 01:06:43,410 --> 01:06:45,720 up is that she banged Ilan. 1122 01:06:46,530 --> 01:06:48,630 John C Dvorak: It was in the newsletter. I thought you read 1123 01:06:48,630 --> 01:06:49,740 it. I'm just 1124 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,530 Adam Curry: not everyone who listens to the show reads the 1125 01:06:52,530 --> 01:06:53,280 newsletter. 1126 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,160 John C Dvorak: Anyway, the newsletter has a very nice clip. 1127 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,410 Adam Curry: By the way, no one saw the newsletter. It went to 1128 01:06:58,410 --> 01:07:02,910 junk a lot of it Yeah, no, it hurt everything hurt donations. 1129 01:07:02,910 --> 01:07:03,870 Everything it did 1130 01:07:03,870 --> 01:07:06,090 John C Dvorak: it did it where you got screwed. And it had I 1131 01:07:06,090 --> 01:07:08,580 think it had to do with the title using the word killer. 1132 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:15,060 Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it's on you. Yeah, 1133 01:07:15,150 --> 01:07:18,240 John C Dvorak: yeah, totally. Well, it's not really because 1134 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:19,050 it's stupid. 1135 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:23,610 Adam Curry: Yes, Monty 83. There's a newsletter. Stupid 1136 01:07:23,610 --> 01:07:24,150 trolls. 1137 01:07:25,140 --> 01:07:25,650 Unknown: So 1138 01:07:25,950 --> 01:07:29,280 Adam Curry: woman is no good. She's just let me finish I'm 1139 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:29,820 sorry. 1140 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,030 John C Dvorak: So she went on the suppose he had an affair 1141 01:07:33,030 --> 01:07:35,250 with the language they both deny but he got divorced from her. 1142 01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:39,930 Anyway, she I think she's kind of she is beyond the left wing 1143 01:07:39,930 --> 01:07:43,590 crackpot type because she just recently as mentioned again, in 1144 01:07:43,590 --> 01:07:47,250 the newsletter, we discussed that she just recently after 1145 01:07:47,250 --> 01:07:52,380 getting divorced, she's had a druidic ceremony. So she's a 1146 01:07:52,380 --> 01:07:56,430 druid. And I should mention that when I went to InfoWorld back in 1147 01:07:56,430 --> 01:08:01,530 the 80s it when it was initially an intelligent machine journal, 1148 01:08:01,830 --> 01:08:07,530 it was run by Druids. Really? Yeah. And Maggie cannon told me 1149 01:08:07,530 --> 01:08:09,930 about it because she says she goes in there they go into some 1150 01:08:09,930 --> 01:08:12,330 Friday night or something. She goes back into the office for 1151 01:08:12,330 --> 01:08:15,090 some reason. There's everyone's wearing these horns on their 1152 01:08:15,090 --> 01:08:16,980 heads and doing some ceremony 1153 01:08:17,639 --> 01:08:18,869 Adam Curry: at InfoWorld. 1154 01:08:19,350 --> 01:08:19,980 John C Dvorak: Yeah. 1155 01:08:21,090 --> 01:08:23,550 Adam Curry: This is some Silicon Valley lore I have not heard 1156 01:08:23,550 --> 01:08:23,940 yet. 1157 01:08:24,059 --> 01:08:27,299 John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah. And so there's a lot of druidic 1158 01:08:27,299 --> 01:08:32,129 bullcrap in Silicon Valley and she's a part of it, but 1159 01:08:32,130 --> 01:08:34,470 Adam Curry: they didn't they meet at Burning Man or her 1160 01:08:34,470 --> 01:08:36,060 current guy who works here he 1161 01:08:36,060 --> 01:08:37,800 John C Dvorak: met at Burning Man, I want to read a little 1162 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,800 clip from Britannic about druids, the nobody knows 1163 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:46,410 anything about him. So it's all all supposition and some kind of 1164 01:08:46,410 --> 01:08:50,010 just say, I've met a druid. i Okay, tell us what you know. I 1165 01:08:50,010 --> 01:08:50,940 met a druid in 1166 01:08:50,939 --> 01:08:56,159 Adam Curry: Amsterdam, because we got DMT from a druid that he 1167 01:08:56,159 --> 01:08:59,789 got it. That was Yeah, I did. DMT twice in my life is not 20 1168 01:08:59,789 --> 01:09:04,319 years ago. By the way. I enjoyed the experience don't have to do 1169 01:09:04,319 --> 01:09:09,029 it again. But I enjoyed the experience. And a druid comes 1170 01:09:09,029 --> 01:09:13,679 over to the house. And it's because of pure DMT is from tree 1171 01:09:13,679 --> 01:09:15,449 bark. It's not synthesized. 1172 01:09:15,690 --> 01:09:18,540 John C Dvorak: How do you know he's a druid? Dude, 1173 01:09:18,630 --> 01:09:21,390 Adam Curry: he had the horns on his head and everything. No, 1174 01:09:21,390 --> 01:09:26,700 yes. Yeah, you had the lots of you know, like, what's your name 1175 01:09:26,700 --> 01:09:30,300 from Stevie Nicks type flowing robes and stuff. It was great. 1176 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,760 Hey, man, you got some got some tree bark for me. So they're, 1177 01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,520 they're a weird bunch. And when I saw the picture in the 1178 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:44,850 newsletter of her having her hand holding ceremony with the 1179 01:09:44,850 --> 01:09:49,650 guy who works at lightning labs of all places, Bitcoin one no. 1180 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:54,300 Well, lightning Labs is very specific. Lightning labs they 1181 01:09:54,630 --> 01:09:57,840 they built the first they built lightning node which is for the 1182 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,590 Lightning Network. And those guys I think have lost their way 1183 01:10:01,590 --> 01:10:04,080 to be quite honest. They're there. They're a little nuts 1184 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:10,050 about money. Yeah, but she was wearing like a druidic tree 1185 01:10:10,050 --> 01:10:14,340 outfit with leaves and stuff barefoot. 1186 01:10:14,910 --> 01:10:17,430 John C Dvorak: So here's from Britannica other Roman right. 1187 01:10:17,430 --> 01:10:19,890 Nobody knew anything about the jurists, and so they had to go 1188 01:10:19,890 --> 01:10:23,610 with Roman writings from Pliny the Elder and others. Other 1189 01:10:23,610 --> 01:10:27,270 Roman writers also fixated on druids love of blood and gore. 1190 01:10:27,420 --> 01:10:30,270 Pliny the Elder wrote of the druids appreciation for both 1191 01:10:30,270 --> 01:10:35,520 mistletoe and human sacrifice. To murder a man was to do the 1192 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,210 act of highest devoutness he wrote, and to eat his flesh was 1193 01:10:39,210 --> 01:10:43,890 to secure the highest blessings of health. Tacitus, the great 1194 01:10:43,890 --> 01:10:47,610 historian even described a battle in Wales in which drew is 1195 01:10:47,610 --> 01:10:51,180 covered their altars with the blood of captives and consulted 1196 01:10:51,180 --> 01:10:54,990 their deities through human entrails. So they held up to you 1197 01:10:54,990 --> 01:11:00,240 know, somebody's in intestines, who knows? Yeah. According to 1198 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:04,380 the writers, the pagan practitioners presented an 1199 01:11:04,380 --> 01:11:08,490 existential threat to the Romans. So my thinking is that 1200 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,790 this woman was introduced to the campaign because Bobby, the OP 1201 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,990 came in, and he's polling about 12%. And initially, he was 1202 01:11:15,990 --> 01:11:20,340 taking from both Biden and Trump, but by bringing a drew it 1203 01:11:20,340 --> 01:11:25,110 in I pagan woman, who is obviously a kind of a gold 1204 01:11:25,110 --> 01:11:29,790 digger, to say the least, she comes in adds to the ticket, 1205 01:11:29,790 --> 01:11:34,590 she's, you know, charming enough. And she will kill any 1206 01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:37,890 chance that a Trump voter is going to cross over and vote for 1207 01:11:37,890 --> 01:11:41,550 Bobby DAPP. That's the ends that is just he's only going to suck 1208 01:11:41,550 --> 01:11:45,720 away the votes from Biden. And that's the reason she's there. 1209 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:46,050 That's 1210 01:11:46,050 --> 01:11:50,790 Adam Curry: the OP right there. I completely concur. word around 1211 01:11:50,790 --> 01:11:54,030 town. Because I know many people who are looking at Bobby the 1212 01:11:54,030 --> 01:12:00,780 opp, oh, no, oh, no, no way. Because he or she sent money to 1213 01:12:00,780 --> 01:12:07,590 the Soros sisters da A's. She's a lib tard I'm just repeating 1214 01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:11,940 what people around town say is completely and utterly 1215 01:12:11,970 --> 01:12:17,580 destroyed. Any chance of any wavering Trump voter selecting 1216 01:12:17,580 --> 01:12:21,630 Bobby this way? And this? I mean, first of all, it's just 1217 01:12:21,630 --> 01:12:23,790 pathetic. I mean, I understand that he had to get on the 1218 01:12:23,790 --> 01:12:30,240 ballot, and he needs at like 15 or $20 million quick. So that 1219 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,820 was that was the choice is like, Well, look, you got a lot of 1220 01:12:32,820 --> 01:12:38,010 money. I'll make you my VP. And yes, I have to agree. I don't 1221 01:12:38,010 --> 01:12:42,540 like calling people. Gold Digger easily, but she sure seems to 1222 01:12:42,540 --> 01:12:44,100 have all the traits of one. 1223 01:12:47,850 --> 01:12:51,030 John C Dvorak: So so that was the idea. And now we've got 1224 01:12:51,030 --> 01:12:54,540 Trump as a shoo in. Yeah. Because they're just gonna 1225 01:12:54,540 --> 01:12:58,530 completely bother the app is just an insurance policy to make 1226 01:12:58,530 --> 01:13:02,640 sure that Trump gets in here. So somebody somewhere some guys 1227 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,630 pulling strings are intent on getting Trump elected. And I'd 1228 01:13:06,630 --> 01:13:09,690 say this is the time to do the betting. If you're I have in 1229 01:13:09,690 --> 01:13:10,650 around Vegas. 1230 01:13:11,250 --> 01:13:15,570 Adam Curry: Get in now while stocks last. So I watched the 1231 01:13:15,630 --> 01:13:21,900 majority of the fact Dell big tree was there. Because a lot of 1232 01:13:21,900 --> 01:13:25,620 people like and I know even though Trump is saying, Oh, it's 1233 01:13:25,620 --> 01:13:29,670 horrible, you know, you can vote for him. He's no good, which I 1234 01:13:29,670 --> 01:13:32,940 think is part of the op. It's just it's just materializing. It 1235 01:13:32,940 --> 01:13:39,360 still would not surprise me. If if Kennedy if Trump wins, if 1236 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:44,760 Kennedy is not brought in for some cabinet post. Yeah, it 1237 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:48,990 could be that would not surprise me. Because all the people there 1238 01:13:48,990 --> 01:13:53,100 who were speaking and speaking up to the up to Kennedy coming 1239 01:13:53,100 --> 01:13:57,180 out and then him announcing what's her name? 1240 01:13:59,250 --> 01:14:02,340 John C Dvorak: What's her name? Shanahan Shana 1241 01:14:02,340 --> 01:14:03,900 Adam Curry: chin. Shan Shan 1242 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:07,860 John C Dvorak: Shan That's your new 1243 01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:10,230 Adam Curry: Nana Chan. That's her new name. Yeah, so let's 1244 01:14:10,230 --> 01:14:13,740 make it a little racist while we're at it. Shana Chan. Yeah. 1245 01:14:14,970 --> 01:14:20,310 We're people who had some very interesting things to say. And I 1246 01:14:20,310 --> 01:14:24,120 pulled one clip, because I was watching in real time. Cali 1247 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:28,560 means this is the true med guy. And I just love this. So who can 1248 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:35,370 Cali means is his name Le Cali le meme means mea NS Cali means 1249 01:14:35,370 --> 01:14:40,590 so means okay. Yes. And he runs through med which is a now 1250 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:49,770 natural path type outfit. The anti farm by an anti Big Pharma 1251 01:14:49,770 --> 01:14:51,960 but he has a history with Big Pharma and he talked about it 1252 01:14:52,260 --> 01:14:55,530 working for the food and pharma industries early in my career. 1253 01:14:56,190 --> 01:15:00,000 My job was to funnel money to institutions that America 1254 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,710 constrast we funneled money to civil rights groups. In return, 1255 01:15:04,710 --> 01:15:08,190 the NAACP said it was imperative to keep Coca Cola on food 1256 01:15:08,190 --> 01:15:12,510 stamps. They actually said it was racist to take Ultra 1257 01:15:12,510 --> 01:15:16,230 processed food and soda off of food stamps. And today soda is 1258 01:15:16,230 --> 01:15:19,350 the number one item purchased with that program. We funnel 1259 01:15:19,350 --> 01:15:23,610 money to medical organizations, the American Diabetes. Oh yeah. 1260 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:24,810 Oh, you've never heard this. 1261 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,390 John C Dvorak: No, I never heard that soda was the number one 1262 01:15:27,390 --> 01:15:30,360 thing bought by food stamps. Oh, yeah, 1263 01:15:30,540 --> 01:15:34,050 Adam Curry: of course. Well, yeah, you can. You can use them 1264 01:15:34,050 --> 01:15:38,190 at fast food. Remember, very important using your snap card 1265 01:15:38,190 --> 01:15:42,840 and fast food. They actually said it was racist, to take 1266 01:15:42,870 --> 01:15:46,410 Ultra processed food and soda off of food stamps. Today, soda 1267 01:15:46,620 --> 01:15:49,950 is the number one item purchased with that program. We funnel 1268 01:15:49,950 --> 01:15:53,370 money to medical organizations. The American Diabetes 1269 01:15:53,370 --> 01:15:56,010 Association of all groups took millions of dollars from Coca 1270 01:15:56,010 --> 01:15:59,280 Cola, and they said small cans of the drink was a good choice 1271 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:05,610 for diabetics. The American Academy of Pediatrics 80% of 1272 01:16:05,610 --> 01:16:08,640 their funding comes from the pharmaceutical industry. We 1273 01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,180 funneled money to researchers, I was shocked as a junior employee 1274 01:16:12,180 --> 01:16:16,140 to be communicating with top professors at Harvard and Tufts 1275 01:16:16,140 --> 01:16:21,840 nutrition school. I found that 11 times more funding comes from 1276 01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:25,500 the food industry for nutrition research than the NIH. I found 1277 01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:28,230 out that more than 50% of the Harvard Med school budget 1278 01:16:28,230 --> 01:16:31,950 touches farm in some way. We funneled money to the media, 1279 01:16:32,430 --> 01:16:37,710 pharma funds over 50% of all TV news funding and I realized that 1280 01:16:37,710 --> 01:16:41,790 wasn't influenced consumers. That was influenced the the news 1281 01:16:41,790 --> 01:16:45,180 itself. And he went on and on and on and on. And of course he 1282 01:16:45,180 --> 01:16:48,150 went into ozempic and have that's going to bankrupt 1283 01:16:48,150 --> 01:16:52,440 Medicare. Even Bernie Sanders is now coming out saying, Oh, we've 1284 01:16:52,440 --> 01:16:55,620 got to get cheaper. ozempic Okay, thanks, Bernie. Yeah, 1285 01:16:55,620 --> 01:16:59,520 that'll do it cheaper ozempic Don't don't mind you know, the 1286 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,700 fact that you're going to put people on medication kids on 1287 01:17:02,700 --> 01:17:06,570 medication for the rest of their life. But let's get back to the 1288 01:17:06,660 --> 01:17:11,760 to the food stamps or the snap cards. Because you can use them 1289 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:15,300 at fast food and they have a new addition which is just it's more 1290 01:17:15,690 --> 01:17:17,490 input for the ozempic to 1291 01:17:17,490 --> 01:17:20,130 Unknown: breakfast powerhouses are teaming up three types of 1292 01:17:20,130 --> 01:17:23,460 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are reportedly go on sale at 1293 01:17:23,460 --> 01:17:27,420 McDonald's later this year.

But wait, there's more.

Yes. 1303 01:17:59,550 --> 01:18:01,710 John C Dvorak: I'd like to know what McDonald's thinks it's 1304 01:18:01,710 --> 01:18:07,500 doing.

So that's all that sugar is, is crack it 1313 01:18:42,090 --> 01:18:45,870 may we have a nation addicted to it. Boy oh boy. Oh no, but don't 1314 01:18:45,870 --> 01:18:49,890 worry, because you got the ozempic now, and hey, hey, kids, 1315 01:18:49,950 --> 01:18:52,530 here's a good one for you.

And while the teas have some unexpected flavors, they 1320 01:19:07,410 --> 01:19:10,680 include a strawberry dragon fruit and a mango pineapple. 1321 01:19:11,310 --> 01:19:14,760 Drinks are not available in Dunkin shops. Instead, they will 1322 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,700 be at local grocery stores, of course, Jenner and 1323 01:19:17,700 --> 01:19:18,510 the liquor store. 1324 01:19:18,990 --> 01:19:19,470 Why not? 1325 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,510 Adam Curry: Why not?

I'm not going to play any of the 20 1329 01:19:30,870 --> 01:19:34,380 Minute promotion that they did. But I want to play the intro to 1330 01:19:34,380 --> 01:19:38,460 it because this adds right into it. This is the UBI presentation 1331 01:19:38,460 --> 01:19:40,320 on NPR work 1332 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,230 Unknown: on fighting poverty in the USA pandemic government aid 1333 01:19:43,470 --> 01:19:46,950 made it clear that getting people in need a little extra 1334 01:19:46,950 --> 01:19:49,770 money could help them in huge ways. 1335 01:19:49,830 --> 01:19:53,580 And they spend the money in ways that everyone does right on 1336 01:19:53,580 --> 01:19:56,700 those basics, going to the grocery store, making sure the 1337 01:19:56,700 --> 01:19:59,970 rent is paid, paying the car note those sorts of things. 1338 01:20:00,540 --> 01:20:05,220 Consider this universal basic income one seemed like a radical 1339 01:20:05,220 --> 01:20:09,420 idea in the US before the pandemic. But now many places in 1340 01:20:09,420 --> 01:20:12,780 the country are pushing to make it a permanent part of the 1341 01:20:12,780 --> 01:20:13,830 social safety net. 1342 01:20:15,030 --> 01:20:17,460 Adam Curry: Yeah, oh, there was a whole I missed that a whole 1343 01:20:17,460 --> 01:20:20,490 special on NPR about UBI. Yeah, 1344 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,560 John C Dvorak: went on and on with people talking about 1345 01:20:23,310 --> 01:20:26,880 literally just throwing the money away. And that's okay. 1346 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,310 Because that's, you know, that's what people want to do. And they 1347 01:20:29,310 --> 01:20:32,640 got the money to do whatever they want with it. And it's just 1348 01:20:32,700 --> 01:20:34,650 the damnedest thing ever heard. Now, 1349 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:39,030 Adam Curry: this is remember, my, my, my take on the COVID 1350 01:20:39,030 --> 01:20:42,750 situation has always been financial. It's always been 1351 01:20:42,750 --> 01:20:48,630 financial. And now we have it. This is perfect. We've got 1352 01:20:48,630 --> 01:20:52,710 inflation, oh, I'm sorry. It's transitory. We've got inflation 1353 01:20:53,220 --> 01:20:57,180 that is transitory. In fact, let's talk about that for a 1354 01:20:57,180 --> 01:20:57,600 second 1355 01:20:57,660 --> 01:21:01,290 Unknown: this morning. $1 won't go quite as far at Dollar Tree 1356 01:21:01,290 --> 01:21:04,560 these days. The company now says it will increase its maximum 1357 01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:09,390 prices stores to $7. This year, a $5. Cap was put in place last 1358 01:21:09,390 --> 01:21:13,320 summer. Family Dollar recently announced it will close to 1000 1359 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,080 stores 30 of which are Dollar Tree stores. So 1360 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,860 Adam Curry: they had a cap last summer of $5. Now it's seven. 1361 01:21:20,340 --> 01:21:21,150 That's I 1362 01:21:21,150 --> 01:21:24,510 John C Dvorak: was a kid $1 Was there used to be something 1363 01:21:24,510 --> 01:21:27,090 called the five and dime store. 1364 01:21:27,090 --> 01:21:30,900 Adam Curry: Yes, we had one close just just last year here 1365 01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:34,980 in Fredericksburg. We had a five and dime on Main Street and it 1366 01:21:34,980 --> 01:21:39,000 closed. But just think about it. They had a cap of $5 at the 1367 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:43,740 dollar store a year ago. Now it's $7. Is that not somewhere 1368 01:21:43,740 --> 01:21:47,790 like a 30%? Increase? That's a big big jump. Yes. That's your 1369 01:21:47,790 --> 01:21:51,480 inflation. Look at it. Look at Tiktok all the kids are crying. 1370 01:21:51,480 --> 01:21:55,710 They can't afford rent. They can't afford anything. I mean, 1371 01:21:55,710 --> 01:21:57,900 in addition to their iPhone, of course and their fancy 1372 01:21:57,900 --> 01:21:59,790 John C Dvorak: car, they go yeah, they can spend two grand 1373 01:21:59,790 --> 01:22:01,050 on an iPhone, that's fine. 1374 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,690 Adam Curry: Well, that's on the payment plan. You know, the it's 1375 01:22:03,690 --> 01:22:07,770 all finance. It's all finance quote unquote. It's free. Yes. 1376 01:22:07,770 --> 01:22:11,550 All financed through AT and T T Mobile Verizon. But if you 1377 01:22:11,550 --> 01:22:17,040 really look at the $7 trillion that we created, 7 trillion was 1378 01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:21,210 created by the banking system. This came up on a very brief 1379 01:22:21,210 --> 01:22:25,470 segment with Muhammad Al Iran Aireon. He's an economist. He's 1380 01:22:25,470 --> 01:22:30,840 often on CNBC, and they talked about the $7 trillion that we 1381 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,570 printed, and what are we going to do about it? Are we going to 1382 01:22:33,570 --> 01:22:36,270 catch up? Are we going to feed or begin to, you know, we're 1383 01:22:36,270 --> 01:22:39,240 going to pay that off? Because it's you know, it's debt when 1384 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:43,260 China bought that a lot of Chinese purchasing of our debt. 1385 01:22:43,470 --> 01:22:44,070 And here, 1386 01:22:44,460 --> 01:22:45,990 John C Dvorak: first of all, by the way, I just want to make it 1387 01:22:45,990 --> 01:22:50,220 clear that the United States Americans by our own, we are 1388 01:22:50,220 --> 01:22:52,140 stuck with the debt personally stuck with the debt. 1389 01:22:52,140 --> 01:22:54,180 Adam Curry: Yes, our own Treasury buy. We buy our own 1390 01:22:54,180 --> 01:22:57,750 debts called monetizing your debt. We buy it ourselves 1391 01:22:57,750 --> 01:23:02,280 correct. And but what are we going to do about it? Are we 1392 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,500 going to pay it off? We're going to fix it, we're going to figure 1393 01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:06,900 it out. No. But why 1394 01:23:06,900 --> 01:23:09,060 John C Dvorak: are we at 7 trillion? Why 7 trillion next 1395 01:23:09,060 --> 01:23:09,300 year? 1396 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,110 Unknown: Why go to whether it's to US or elsewhere? We watch it, 1397 01:23:13,380 --> 01:23:14,760 we you 1398 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:15,660 never go back from 1399 01:23:15,660 --> 01:23:17,250 the crisis. We don't that's 1400 01:23:18,810 --> 01:23:22,260 the Fed's balance sheet is the same thing. It is sad. And at 1401 01:23:22,260 --> 01:23:24,750 some point, we're going to pay for this, we will pay for this. 1402 01:23:24,810 --> 01:23:25,200 We have 1403 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,410 been saying this for so long, that we're going to pay for it. 1404 01:23:28,410 --> 01:23:30,450 We're going to be talking to Maya McGinnis a little later 1405 01:23:30,570 --> 01:23:33,540 about some of the issues surrounding this, too. We've 1406 01:23:33,540 --> 01:23:37,320 been saying this for so long, decades and decades. When does 1407 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:38,160 it actually 1408 01:23:38,220 --> 01:23:40,800 so remember the old PIMCO concept of the cleanest dirty 1409 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,550 shirt? Okay, we live in a relative world. So if we 1410 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:48,570 misbehave and others misbehave more, we don't get punished 1411 01:23:48,570 --> 01:23:52,020 because we've got the reserve currency, and we are the place 1412 01:23:52,020 --> 01:23:55,350 where people outsource savings to so as long as we remain the 1413 01:23:55,350 --> 01:23:58,470 cleanest dirty shirt, then we're not going to be punished. If 1414 01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:02,880 others start being cleaner than us, then then this will change. 1415 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,060 Adam Curry: We have the cleanest dirty shirts. Exactly. 1416 01:24:07,470 --> 01:24:09,900 John C Dvorak: That's a great analogy. It's perfect. 1417 01:24:10,260 --> 01:24:13,650 Adam Curry: And this is why they have to they must create a 1418 01:24:13,650 --> 01:24:17,340 central digital bank, current central bank digital currency 1419 01:24:17,340 --> 01:24:22,650 they have to for all the UBI for all of the newcomers who are 1420 01:24:22,650 --> 01:24:27,570 welcoming in who if we're getting your work permit, don't 1421 01:24:27,570 --> 01:24:32,730 worry. Here's your card. Here's your ID. Here's your UBI this 1422 01:24:32,730 --> 01:24:41,820 it's a foregone conclusion. And just to add to that, the me see 1423 01:24:41,820 --> 01:24:49,470 where do I have it here? The UBI part or the digital ID part is 1424 01:24:49,470 --> 01:24:53,670 really approaching very rapidly and we're going to usher that in 1425 01:24:53,850 --> 01:24:56,910 for social media. I know you don't agree with it and you say 1426 01:24:56,910 --> 01:25:00,000 it's crazy and yes, you'll be able to get around it, but can 1427 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:07,230 California already has SB 1228 large online platforms user 1428 01:25:07,260 --> 01:25:10,530 identity authentication, this bill would require a large 1429 01:25:10,530 --> 01:25:14,100 online platform as defined to seek to verify the name, 1430 01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:16,800 telephone number and email address of an influential user 1431 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:21,270 as defined by means chosen by the large online platform, and 1432 01:25:21,270 --> 01:25:24,930 would require the platform to seek to verify the identity of 1433 01:25:24,930 --> 01:25:28,920 highly influential users as defined by asking to review the 1434 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,220 highly influential users government issued 1435 01:25:32,220 --> 01:25:36,510 identification. And this is happening everywhere, including 1436 01:25:36,510 --> 01:25:37,680 Florida childhood 1437 01:25:37,860 --> 01:25:41,040 Unknown: has completely changed. And the reason has changed, of 1438 01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,130 course is because of the smartphone kids today, teenagers 1439 01:25:44,130 --> 01:25:46,110 today. According to the research, they are more 1440 01:25:46,110 --> 01:25:49,680 sedentary, more solitary, more anxious, more depressed, more 1441 01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:53,340 risk averse. Something has changed, and it seems to be the 1442 01:25:53,340 --> 01:25:55,890 access to the phone. So now here comes the state of Florida. 1443 01:25:55,950 --> 01:25:59,820 Yesterday, Ron DeSantis, has signed the most restrictive 1444 01:25:59,820 --> 01:26:04,380 social media ban for teenagers anywhere in the country, people 1445 01:26:04,440 --> 01:26:08,790 14 And under banned from social media in the state of Florida 1446 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:13,440 for 15 and 16 year olds will need a parental consent. 1447 01:26:13,740 --> 01:26:17,130 DeSantis says this satisfied me the way the bill was written. I 1448 01:26:17,130 --> 01:26:20,280 think it's a fair application of the law and the Constitution. 1449 01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,290 There, of course, will be lawsuits as there have been in 1450 01:26:22,290 --> 01:26:25,740 other states, the Republican Speaker of the House there in 1451 01:26:25,740 --> 01:26:28,950 the state of Florida says we're going to beat those lawsuits, 1452 01:26:28,950 --> 01:26:32,010 we're going to beat them and we are never going to stop this is 1453 01:26:32,010 --> 01:26:35,550 a major major deal. But how do you police this? Exactly? 1454 01:26:35,550 --> 01:26:39,450 Because my 10 year old will register on Instagram or Tiktok 1455 01:26:39,450 --> 01:26:43,050 as though she's of a certain age, and it's about I have to 1456 01:26:43,050 --> 01:26:44,280 take the phone away? Well, 1457 01:26:44,310 --> 01:26:47,220 it becomes a legal liability for the companies. I mean, the you 1458 01:26:47,220 --> 01:26:49,170 know, Instagram knows me well enough to know that I spend a 1459 01:26:49,170 --> 01:26:51,990 lot of things in my pants and I get nothing but ads for spilled 1460 01:26:51,990 --> 01:26:54,540 things on pants, right that they know their customer they know 1461 01:26:54,540 --> 01:26:57,630 when it's a 10 year old versus a 28 year old. But the point is, 1462 01:26:58,140 --> 01:27:01,620 past bands have struggled on free speech grounds, right, 1463 01:27:01,620 --> 01:27:04,530 there's an access to information that should be available even to 1464 01:27:04,530 --> 01:27:07,590 young people. What's unique about the Florida law and the 1465 01:27:07,590 --> 01:27:09,990 way it's written, which will be a legal test that we're going to 1466 01:27:09,990 --> 01:27:13,140 be talking about is it's not about the information. It's 1467 01:27:13,140 --> 01:27:17,340 about the qualities of the app. So the infinite scroll, the 1468 01:27:17,340 --> 01:27:20,430 addictive algorithm, the information you can access on a 1469 01:27:20,430 --> 01:27:23,790 WW dot straight up computer. Yeah, 1470 01:27:23,790 --> 01:27:25,770 Adam Curry: and it goes on and on and on. Okay, I want to go 1471 01:27:25,770 --> 01:27:30,810 down this rabbit hole for a few minutes. Because there's a lot 1472 01:27:30,810 --> 01:27:35,640 of people out there talking about the about the apps being 1473 01:27:35,670 --> 01:27:38,730 and social media being very bad for children. Here's the ABC 1474 01:27:38,730 --> 01:27:48,300 Good Morning America. Let me see is this sits Yes, this is I 1475 01:27:48,300 --> 01:27:51,780 think they bring in Jonathan Haidt here who just wrote a book 1476 01:27:51,780 --> 01:27:54,390 about this. This is a Good Morning America about the 1477 01:27:54,420 --> 01:27:56,160 Florida social media ban. We 1478 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,190 Unknown: turn now to a social media show down in Florida Shona 1479 01:27:59,190 --> 01:28:02,730 Rhonda Santa signing a bill banning children under 14 from 1480 01:28:02,730 --> 01:28:05,730 having their own social media accounts. But it's expected to 1481 01:28:05,730 --> 01:28:08,280 face a number of legal challenges and Ariel Russia 1482 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:11,820 joins us now with more can imagine a bumpy road ahead. 1483 01:28:11,850 --> 01:28:12,180 bumpy 1484 01:28:12,180 --> 01:28:15,300 road ahead. A lot of very strong opinions on this one. If this 1485 01:28:15,300 --> 01:28:18,270 law holds Florida will have one of the most restrictive social 1486 01:28:18,270 --> 01:28:21,300 media bans in the country. The bill signed by Governor Ron 1487 01:28:21,300 --> 01:28:25,200 DeSantis won't take effect until January 1, and is likely to face 1488 01:28:25,230 --> 01:28:28,530 major legal challenges. The new measure bars social media 1489 01:28:28,530 --> 01:28:31,950 accounts for children under the age of 14 and requires parental 1490 01:28:31,950 --> 01:28:35,760 consent for 15 and 16 year olds. It also mandates that social 1491 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:39,120 media platforms search for and remove the profiles of kids who 1492 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,270 don't meet the age requirement. proponents have argued that 1493 01:28:42,270 --> 01:28:45,300 access to social media is harmful to children's mental 1494 01:28:45,300 --> 01:28:48,750 health. It's not yet clear which social media companies would be 1495 01:28:48,750 --> 01:28:51,720 impacted. But the trade group net choice which represents 1496 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,630 several major social media giants slammed the move is 1497 01:28:54,630 --> 01:28:57,450 unconstitutional saying it violates the First Amendment, 1498 01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,780 the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment and federal 1499 01:29:00,780 --> 01:29:04,110 law Florida. It's not the first state to enact this type of ban 1500 01:29:04,110 --> 01:29:06,900 Arkansas and Ohio have also passed similar legislation, 1501 01:29:06,900 --> 01:29:09,420 Lindsey but both are tied up in court since 1502 01:29:09,510 --> 01:29:13,950 Adam Curry: the phrase was used by requests. Yeah, we got to 1503 01:29:13,950 --> 01:29:16,440 bring that back. You got slammed, they slammed the 1504 01:29:16,440 --> 01:29:21,300 slammed him for this. So then they bring on Jonathan Haidt, H 1505 01:29:21,300 --> 01:29:25,650 AI d t, he wrote the coddling of the American mind, great book. 1506 01:29:25,890 --> 01:29:29,490 And now he's gone off the rails as far as I'm concerned. He's 1507 01:29:29,490 --> 01:29:34,170 now he is now advocating for the only way we can do this as 1508 01:29:34,170 --> 01:29:37,890 government ID the only way which of course, is not the solution, 1509 01:29:37,890 --> 01:29:39,030 but it is what I predicted 1510 01:29:39,060 --> 01:29:41,070 Unknown: and a new book is addressing this issue. It's 1511 01:29:41,070 --> 01:29:44,640 called the anxious anxious generation, how the great 1512 01:29:44,670 --> 01:29:49,350 rewiring of childhood is causing an epidemic of mental illness. 1513 01:29:49,590 --> 01:29:52,500 And author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is 1514 01:29:52,500 --> 01:29:53,760 joining us now to talk about 1515 01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,520 Adam Curry: it. This is gonna be interesting because all the 1516 01:29:56,520 --> 01:30:00,120 research that we even Zuckerberg said it in the most recent I'm 1517 01:30:00,630 --> 01:30:03,630 hearing Oh, there's there's absolutely no proof. There's no 1518 01:30:03,630 --> 01:30:06,930 proof that social media messes your mental with your mental 1519 01:30:06,930 --> 01:30:08,970 health. There's no proof at all. Why 1520 01:30:09,030 --> 01:30:10,710 Unknown: this book? Why now? 1521 01:30:11,580 --> 01:30:14,940 Because I'm a social psychologist. And as I've been 1522 01:30:14,940 --> 01:30:18,960 digging into what's happening in the social lives of kids, I've 1523 01:30:18,990 --> 01:30:21,900 graphed out all the data from all these studies. And what we 1524 01:30:21,900 --> 01:30:25,620 see over and over again, is that levels of mental illness, 1525 01:30:25,620 --> 01:30:28,200 they're sort of stable in the tooth out early 2000s. And then 1526 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,440 right around 2012 13, they all go shooting up, we're talking 1527 01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:35,430 about depression, anxiety, self harm, suicide is up by more than 1528 01:30:35,430 --> 01:30:38,490 50% among American teens. And it's not just us, it's actually 1529 01:30:38,490 --> 01:30:40,590 happening in many other countries. So we need to 1530 01:30:40,590 --> 01:30:43,620 understand why and that's what the book is about. So 1531 01:30:43,650 --> 01:30:46,980 Adam Curry: notice, he says, 2013, that is not that's when 1532 01:30:46,980 --> 01:30:50,850 the social media networks really starts at will they had momentum 1533 01:30:50,850 --> 01:30:54,510 at that point, not the introduction of the smartphone, 1534 01:30:54,540 --> 01:30:58,020 Unknown: can you really peg this to smartphone use the age of the 1535 01:30:58,020 --> 01:31:01,050 smartphone and seeing the prevalence of it and this 1536 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,220 generation Gen Z is really an experiment in what happens when 1537 01:31:05,220 --> 01:31:07,170 you put a smartphone in everyone's hand. Well, that's 1538 01:31:07,170 --> 01:31:09,720 right, because the millennials went through puberty with flip 1539 01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:12,180 phones and flip phones aren't particularly bad you use 1540 01:31:12,180 --> 01:31:15,840 interest to communicate. It was when we gave kids smartphones 1541 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,540 and then right around that time, they also got Instagram and 1542 01:31:18,540 --> 01:31:21,210 other social media accounts. When kids move their socialist 1543 01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,240 onto social media like that. It's not human, it doesn't help 1544 01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:27,750 them develop. And right away mental health collapses. 1545 01:31:27,780 --> 01:31:32,280 Adam Curry: Okay, so this, this is bullcrap. Because Because 1546 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:35,550 Facebook didn't even have an app for the longest time if you 1547 01:31:35,550 --> 01:31:39,210 recall, even Wall Street was like Facebook man, they're not 1548 01:31:39,210 --> 01:31:41,520 going to make it because they don't have an app. Remember 1549 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:45,270 that? No, yeah. So it wasn't the smartphone. I'm not saying the 1550 01:31:45,270 --> 01:31:48,690 smartphone is great. But it wasn't the phone and I have a 1551 01:31:48,690 --> 01:31:54,330 sneaky suspicion that this lawsuit against Apple is is more 1552 01:31:54,330 --> 01:31:59,550 about taking away or distracting from this social media companies 1553 01:31:59,550 --> 01:32:03,540 and the apps that run on the smartphone focusing on on bad 1554 01:32:03,540 --> 01:32:07,110 apple all your bad. I think we'll send a clip about that. 1555 01:32:07,140 --> 01:32:09,000 Let's let's bring it in. And before I continue, 1556 01:32:09,030 --> 01:32:11,640 John C Dvorak: this is the we didn't do the mash up of the 1557 01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:15,180 apple or I'm sorry, the three by three but this is the mash up of 1558 01:32:15,180 --> 01:32:18,750 the three by three that brings every network into the picture 1559 01:32:18,750 --> 01:32:20,670 and their commentary about Apple 1560 01:32:20,700 --> 01:32:23,400 Unknown: today the US Justice Department is looking to take a 1561 01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,140 bite out of Apple the Department of 1562 01:32:25,140 --> 01:32:28,140 Justice filing a landmark lawsuit today against Apple. The 1563 01:32:28,140 --> 01:32:32,160 DOJ in 16 states accusing Apple of monopolizing the smartphone 1564 01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:33,300 market antitrust 1565 01:32:33,300 --> 01:32:37,080 lawsuit against Apple, the second largest company in the US 1566 01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:40,440 and the world, its stock fell 4%. Today consumers 1567 01:32:40,440 --> 01:32:43,680 should not have to pay higher prices. Because companies break 1568 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:44,160 the law. 1569 01:32:44,460 --> 01:32:48,690 Attorney General Merrick Garland claiming apple 70% domination 1570 01:32:48,690 --> 01:32:52,950 over the US smartphone market as a result of illegal behavior. 1571 01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:58,710 The DOJ alleges Apple worth $2.7 trillion unfairly tries to keep 1572 01:32:58,710 --> 01:33:02,310 users hooked on iPhones and charges high fees from app 1573 01:33:02,310 --> 01:33:03,270 developers. Apple 1574 01:33:03,270 --> 01:33:07,320 has consolidated its monopoly power, not by making its own 1575 01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:10,890 products better. By making other products worse, 1576 01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:13,980 the Justice Department joining more than a dozen states in 1577 01:33:13,980 --> 01:33:17,310 nearly a 90 page complaint, accusing the company of 1578 01:33:17,310 --> 01:33:21,270 violating antitrust laws through the iPhone, Apple Watch and 1579 01:33:21,270 --> 01:33:22,140 Apple Pay 1580 01:33:22,230 --> 01:33:26,070 and DOJ alleges the tech giant blocks third party apps and 1581 01:33:26,070 --> 01:33:30,090 other services from competing with Apple products like denying 1582 01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:34,260 iPhone users access to any other digital wallet tap to pay 1583 01:33:34,260 --> 01:33:36,240 service. Other than Apple Pay. 1584 01:33:36,270 --> 01:33:39,960 The DOJ specifically calls out Apple for allegedly boxing out 1585 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:43,860 other companies devices to help keep track of items like keys to 1586 01:33:43,860 --> 01:33:47,940 give an edge to its own air tag and for allowing lower quality 1587 01:33:47,940 --> 01:33:50,640 text messages between iPhone and Android users Apple 1588 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:54,210 pushing back saying in part, this lawsuit threatens who we 1589 01:33:54,210 --> 01:33:58,830 are the principles that sell products. We are if successful, 1590 01:33:58,830 --> 01:34:01,800 it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology 1591 01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:03,810 people expect from Apple. 1592 01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,810 Apple denies the allegations and says a victory for the 1593 01:34:06,810 --> 01:34:09,900 government would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering 1594 01:34:09,900 --> 01:34:12,630 government to take a heavy hand in designing people's 1595 01:34:12,630 --> 01:34:13,680 technology. Apple 1596 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:17,610 basically telling DOJ See you in court. The company is expected 1597 01:34:17,610 --> 01:34:20,610 to follow legal response soon. Apple official said in their 1598 01:34:20,610 --> 01:34:24,300 statement tonight DOJ is lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the 1599 01:34:24,300 --> 01:34:24,660 law. 1600 01:34:24,690 --> 01:34:28,050 The feeling inside Apple's Cupertino headquarters is to 1601 01:34:28,050 --> 01:34:31,260 fight back hard against what they are calling a misguided 1602 01:34:31,260 --> 01:34:34,230 assault. And the Justice Department says if left 1603 01:34:34,230 --> 01:34:38,250 unchallenged Apple will continue to strengthen its monopoly but 1604 01:34:38,250 --> 01:34:41,700 the department hasn't ruled out even breaking up Apple if 1605 01:34:41,700 --> 01:34:45,300 necessary addressed except that hasn't happened since Bell 1606 01:34:45,300 --> 01:34:47,640 systems back in 1982. Let's make 1607 01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,310 it personal but I can't see my mom certain videos or she can't 1608 01:34:50,310 --> 01:34:52,260 see me certain videos and so we find 1609 01:34:52,260 --> 01:34:53,670 your mom iPhone. 1610 01:34:55,500 --> 01:34:58,440 Adam Curry: Yeah, I know they're attacking the the most 1611 01:34:58,440 --> 01:35:03,780 successful device manufacturer. They really are. Meanwhile, I 1612 01:35:03,780 --> 01:35:06,090 mean, this kind of just came out. But this happened between 1613 01:35:06,090 --> 01:35:12,420 20 2016 and 2019. Facebook was, was making a lot of their users 1614 01:35:12,810 --> 01:35:16,170 try out their VPN. Did you catch 1615 01:35:16,170 --> 01:35:19,200 John C Dvorak: this story? No, I did not catch this story. Yes. 1616 01:35:19,380 --> 01:35:23,040 Adam Curry: So they had a VPN product. And so they, you know, 1617 01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:26,340 they offered, they have their root certificate. And they were 1618 01:35:26,340 --> 01:35:29,070 and that this is this is all emails that are published now. 1619 01:35:29,070 --> 01:35:32,610 And this is only just now coming to light. Zuckerberg every it 1620 01:35:32,610 --> 01:35:35,610 was called Ghostbusters, this project internally because they 1621 01:35:35,610 --> 01:35:42,210 had the they had the root cert. They were conducting a man in 1622 01:35:42,210 --> 01:35:46,410 the middle attack to intercept and decrypt what their users 1623 01:35:46,410 --> 01:35:51,480 were looking at on Snapchat, YouTube and Amazon. I mean, that 1624 01:35:51,480 --> 01:35:54,480 is possibly the worst thing you could do. And of course, it 1625 01:35:54,480 --> 01:36:00,390 makes you think about the VPN provider using and they had kits 1626 01:36:00,420 --> 01:36:04,620 root kits for and or the kids for Android and iOS, that 1627 01:36:04,620 --> 01:36:07,680 impersonated official servers and decrypted traffic Facebook 1628 01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,500 wasn't authorized access? Of course not. So they could plan 1629 01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:13,530 competitive moves against Snapchat and other companies. 1630 01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:19,230 Nice. So wow, that's not a that's not a big story at all. 1631 01:36:19,530 --> 01:36:19,980 No, 1632 01:36:19,980 --> 01:36:22,110 John C Dvorak: I like you said, like I said, I haven't heard 1633 01:36:22,110 --> 01:36:24,060 this story. And it's a killer. And 1634 01:36:24,090 --> 01:36:29,910 Adam Curry: on top of that, the it's now coming out that the 1635 01:36:29,910 --> 01:36:36,960 Department of Justice demanded from Google comm all information 1636 01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,860 about certain accounts, users who accessed certain YouTube 1637 01:36:40,890 --> 01:36:46,470 videos arrived around January 6. Yeah, it is a good one. So if 1638 01:36:46,470 --> 01:36:50,070 you so you know, there you go. You're you're watching the 1639 01:36:50,070 --> 01:36:53,790 video, you know, it gets heated up. So it shows up your 1640 01:36:53,790 --> 01:36:57,660 recommendation, you click on it, boom, you're on a list. Yep, 1641 01:36:57,750 --> 01:37:01,050 you're on a list this this is it's all it's the season of 1642 01:37:01,050 --> 01:37:05,670 reveal was upon us. But we still have to deal with the social 1643 01:37:05,670 --> 01:37:09,840 media companies. World Health Organization getting in on the 1644 01:37:09,900 --> 01:37:10,620 on the gambit, 1645 01:37:10,650 --> 01:37:14,250 Unknown: the schoolyard bully is increasingly becoming a cyber 1646 01:37:14,250 --> 01:37:17,730 bully. A new study from the World Health Organization finds 1647 01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:21,420 online harassment among adolescents is on the rise 1648 01:37:21,540 --> 01:37:24,990 magnified by the increase in their digital interactions. 1649 01:37:25,350 --> 01:37:30,270 About one in six adolescents say that they have been cyber 1650 01:37:30,270 --> 01:37:34,230 bullied once or twice in the last couple of months. And here 1651 01:37:34,230 --> 01:37:39,360 we can see that there's, there's not much of a gender difference. 1652 01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:39,780 The 1653 01:37:39,780 --> 01:37:43,830 study use data from 44 countries and regions across Europe, 1654 01:37:43,860 --> 01:37:47,490 Central Asia and Canada. Researchers surveyed more than a 1655 01:37:47,490 --> 01:37:52,860 quarter million kids aged 11 to 15 years old. For boys cyber 1656 01:37:52,860 --> 01:37:58,200 bullying peaked at age 11. For girls, aged 13. And these kids 1657 01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:03,510 now spend up to six hours a day online bullying inside schools 1658 01:38:03,510 --> 01:38:07,710 has declined over the past decade as cyber bullying surge. 1659 01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:11,370 Social media companies, such as metta have beefed up child 1660 01:38:11,370 --> 01:38:14,940 safety features recently, in an effort to limit harassment and 1661 01:38:14,940 --> 01:38:19,230 exposure to harmful content. But the WHO says there needs to be 1662 01:38:19,230 --> 01:38:23,160 more education around the dangers of cyber bullying, as 1663 01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:27,270 well as an increased investment in peer violence monitoring. All 1664 01:38:27,270 --> 01:38:29,790 Adam Curry: right, so lots of monitoring going up. But I'm 1665 01:38:29,790 --> 01:38:32,940 just thinking about, you know, it was Google who pushed so 1666 01:38:32,940 --> 01:38:38,580 hard, Let's Encrypt push so hard that every website has to be SSL 1667 01:38:38,580 --> 01:38:44,460 encrypted. Yeah. Which I refuse on webpages that I host that are 1668 01:38:44,460 --> 01:38:49,710 just pages of like a show notes. No, yeah, who cares? Well, they 1669 01:38:49,710 --> 01:38:53,010 also control the browser that then shows a little thief with a 1670 01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:56,250 with a mask like trying to get your data is reaching through 1671 01:38:56,250 --> 01:39:01,860 your browser. Oh, dangerous. Oh, except the risks move on. What 1672 01:39:01,890 --> 01:39:06,420 who controls those certificates? Who controls the root 1673 01:39:06,420 --> 01:39:12,810 certificate of all this stuff? Is it really to be trusted? I 1674 01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:14,820 doubt that. I 1675 01:39:14,820 --> 01:39:15,600 John C Dvorak: doubt it too. 1676 01:39:16,500 --> 01:39:19,470 Adam Curry: So now we bring on guys are all scammers at heart. 1677 01:39:20,100 --> 01:39:26,400 Now we bring on our Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. And this 1678 01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:30,870 is on CNN with the on the Amanpour show. And well, it's 1679 01:39:30,870 --> 01:39:32,040 everything just bad. 1680 01:39:32,070 --> 01:39:35,010 Unknown: Are you surprised that this country I mean, you know, 1681 01:39:35,130 --> 01:39:38,790 pretty close to top of the tables in the OECD nations is 1682 01:39:38,790 --> 01:39:41,850 the second most unhappy, depressed country in the world. 1683 01:39:42,270 --> 01:39:45,330 Only Uzbekistan has it worse. Oh, we're 1684 01:39:45,330 --> 01:39:47,130 Adam Curry: better than it was Becca Stein, you might as well 1685 01:39:47,130 --> 01:39:49,020 just call us phone number wise. 1686 01:39:49,530 --> 01:39:51,510 Unknown: Well, I'm deeply concerned. But I think one of 1687 01:39:51,510 --> 01:39:55,440 the key lessons from this is that economic prosperity alone 1688 01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:58,890 is not the key to happiness. And in fact, what we are seeing is 1689 01:39:58,890 --> 01:40:01,650 that in many, many cases entries, which are increasingly 1690 01:40:01,650 --> 01:40:04,470 modernizing in terms of their economy, their culture, etc. 1691 01:40:05,130 --> 01:40:08,100 We're actually seeing that unhappiness is growing. And I 1692 01:40:08,100 --> 01:40:10,530 think that's coming for a few different reasons. One of them 1693 01:40:10,710 --> 01:40:13,470 is because we are actually pulling further and further 1694 01:40:13,500 --> 01:40:16,470 apart from one another. With the benefits and efficiencies of 1695 01:40:16,470 --> 01:40:19,890 modern technology and ways of life, we actually have fewer 1696 01:40:19,890 --> 01:40:23,010 friends that we trust with your relationships we can rely on. 1697 01:40:23,250 --> 01:40:26,100 And that is a direct impact on our happiness and well being. 1698 01:40:26,370 --> 01:40:28,860 The other challenge, though, is I think technology has been a 1699 01:40:28,860 --> 01:40:31,770 mixed blessing for us. And I think particularly when it comes 1700 01:40:31,770 --> 01:40:35,340 to young people, the impact of social media on their mental 1701 01:40:35,340 --> 01:40:38,460 health has often been quite negative, which is why last 1702 01:40:38,460 --> 01:40:41,550 year, I issued a surgeon general's advisory on social 1703 01:40:41,550 --> 01:40:44,790 media and youth mental health to point out the fact that when 1704 01:40:44,790 --> 01:40:47,790 young people are using social media, as they often are for 1705 01:40:47,790 --> 01:40:50,400 more than three hours a day, they double their risk of 1706 01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:52,080 anxiety and depression symptoms, 1707 01:40:52,260 --> 01:40:55,350 Adam Curry: which is great. We can we can get more anti 1708 01:40:55,350 --> 01:41:00,120 depression drugs. Don't You're not fooling me, Vivek. So let's 1709 01:41:00,270 --> 01:41:04,860 continue on. By the way, three hours a day, try six, you have 1710 01:41:04,890 --> 01:41:08,280 Unknown: in fact gone even further comparing social media 1711 01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:12,630 and the tech companies to 20th century car giants, which have 1712 01:41:12,630 --> 01:41:15,810 produced vehicles without seatbelts and airbags until 1713 01:41:15,810 --> 01:41:17,400 legislation mandated it. 1714 01:41:17,730 --> 01:41:22,020 Adam Curry: What a horrible, horrible analogy. How about just 1715 01:41:22,020 --> 01:41:22,770 drugs? 1716 01:41:22,830 --> 01:41:24,840 Unknown: What's happening in social media is the equivalent 1717 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,330 of having children in cars that have no safety features and 1718 01:41:27,330 --> 01:41:30,300 driving on roads, with no speed limits, no traffic lights, no 1719 01:41:30,300 --> 01:41:33,120 rules whatsoever. And we're telling you, you know, what, do 1720 01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,310 your best figure it out? It's insane. 1721 01:41:36,390 --> 01:41:39,660 Yeah, that is what we've done to our children. It's we've put 1722 01:41:39,660 --> 01:41:43,230 them in unsafe, untenable environments, and we're hoping 1723 01:41:43,230 --> 01:41:45,960 for the best and you know who else we've placed a burden on 1724 01:41:45,990 --> 01:41:50,250 our parents, parents all across the world are trying to figure 1725 01:41:50,250 --> 01:41:53,040 out how to manage social media for their kids, these platforms 1726 01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,100 are rapidly evolving. Many parents never grew up with them. 1727 01:41:56,370 --> 01:41:58,560 And what they are finding is that their kids are often 1728 01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:01,500 exposed to extraordinary harms, whether that's violence and 1729 01:42:01,500 --> 01:42:04,320 sexual content, whether it's content generated by the 1730 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:07,350 algorithm that in some cases tells them to harm themselves. 1731 01:42:07,740 --> 01:42:10,890 And the experience itself, many young people tell me has led 1732 01:42:10,890 --> 01:42:13,260 them to often feel worse about themselves and about their 1733 01:42:13,260 --> 01:42:16,740 friendships, yet, they feel they can get off of it. Because the 1734 01:42:16,740 --> 01:42:20,580 features that are built in are meant to maximize how much time 1735 01:42:20,730 --> 01:42:24,180 we all spend on them. And that is a profound source of concern 1736 01:42:24,180 --> 01:42:27,420 for me as a doctor, as I watched the profound the profound and 1737 01:42:27,420 --> 01:42:29,790 disturbing health effects on our kid. Hey, 1738 01:42:29,790 --> 01:42:32,550 Adam Curry: Silicon Valley that coming for you very 1739 01:42:33,870 --> 01:42:37,380 John C Dvorak: little side bit in here, which is, this was the 1740 01:42:37,380 --> 01:42:42,780 same kind of complaint that we heard in the 80s. about video 1741 01:42:42,780 --> 01:42:46,140 games, yeah, oh, these video games are gonna ruin the 1742 01:42:46,140 --> 01:42:50,670 children. And then, in the end that evolved over time and to 1743 01:42:50,670 --> 01:42:54,210 you know, simulations have good and bad benefits. But then we 1744 01:42:54,210 --> 01:42:59,070 have these clips, listen to this flow state of mind. 1745 01:43:00,180 --> 01:43:03,300 Unknown: There's a state of mind called flow. When you're 1746 01:43:03,300 --> 01:43:06,570 completely absorbed in an activity that's challenging, but 1747 01:43:06,570 --> 01:43:07,800 not too hard. artists 1748 01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:11,400 feel it when they paint or draw. Musicians feel it when they play 1749 01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,820 an instrument. It's a sense of deep engagement with an activity 1750 01:43:14,820 --> 01:43:17,850 where you might look up and suddenly notice a lot of time 1751 01:43:17,850 --> 01:43:18,510 has passed 1752 01:43:18,540 --> 01:43:22,950 and flow can help you feel less stressed, says Kate Sweeney, a 1753 01:43:22,950 --> 01:43:25,560 psychology professor at the University of California, 1754 01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:26,610 Riverside flow is 1755 01:43:26,610 --> 01:43:30,000 really good for us. It gives us a lot of positive emotions. But 1756 01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,700 it's also especially well suited to times when we're really in 1757 01:43:32,700 --> 01:43:35,070 our heads when we're worried about the future when we're 1758 01:43:35,070 --> 01:43:38,130 ruminating about something and we just can't turn it off. Flow 1759 01:43:38,130 --> 01:43:40,650 is a pretty good off switch for that kind of thinking. So he 1760 01:43:40,650 --> 01:43:44,220 says an easy way to achieve flow is by playing video games. 1761 01:43:46,710 --> 01:43:48,840 Adam Curry: Before you know it, you're in a movie produced by 1762 01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:49,740 Dana Brunetti. 1763 01:43:50,730 --> 01:43:52,980 John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, there's that but there's a part 1764 01:43:52,980 --> 01:43:57,510 two to this, but that it's like wait a minute, everything that 1765 01:43:57,510 --> 01:44:01,380 we're all the information that they throw at us is all bogus. 1766 01:44:01,380 --> 01:44:03,990 Can I just say tell us one thing one minute and they tell us 1767 01:44:03,990 --> 01:44:07,590 something else? The next is flow thing I never heard and I would 1768 01:44:07,590 --> 01:44:08,340 say 1769 01:44:09,030 --> 01:44:14,400 Adam Curry: that if you if we on this podcast right now say video 1770 01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:19,530 games are bad. There's proof then you will get a million 1771 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:24,360 emails, new evidence video games great me by the way. I think 1772 01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:30,030 that's how a lot of dudes become trans. But the video game 1773 01:44:30,030 --> 01:44:33,390 industry is huge. They have a lot of money. They got a lot 1774 01:44:33,390 --> 01:44:36,570 biggest bigger than Hollywood. They have a lot of money and 1775 01:44:36,570 --> 01:44:39,870 there's a lot of lobbying and a lot of that has military 1776 01:44:39,870 --> 01:44:44,910 industrial complex who love the simulation. If you can become a 1777 01:44:44,910 --> 01:44:49,110 third place at Lemond as a sim driver, I'm pretty sure you can 1778 01:44:49,110 --> 01:44:54,180 be good on the battlefield if you've played war Warcraft or 1779 01:44:54,180 --> 01:44:55,350 whatever it's called. 1780 01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:58,830 John C Dvorak: Yeah, sports ball. Yes, sports 1781 01:44:58,830 --> 01:45:01,020 Adam Curry: ball and the other one the Yeah, what's what's the 1782 01:45:01,020 --> 01:45:04,500 other one call of duty? A bet you, you bet you're a decent 1783 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,300 warrior a bit, you're good solid. 1784 01:45:06,300 --> 01:45:08,730 John C Dvorak: That was the thesis of a movie that's never 1785 01:45:08,730 --> 01:45:12,330 been produced again. It was produced once in the 70s, called 1786 01:45:12,330 --> 01:45:15,090 the last star fighter and everyone that listen to this 1787 01:45:15,090 --> 01:45:18,570 show probably seen the movie. And it was based on the premise 1788 01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,350 that they could put a video game out into public domain. And then 1789 01:45:22,350 --> 01:45:26,100 the kid who could beat the whole game and be the best in the 1790 01:45:26,100 --> 01:45:31,560 country, could be solicited for an intergalactic battle of some 1791 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:36,210 bad dudes in outer space. I totally one of the really great 1792 01:45:36,210 --> 01:45:38,400 movies, and it's never been done. Again, it's never been 1793 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:41,610 fully explained why they can't produce this movie, again, as I 1794 01:45:41,610 --> 01:45:46,860 think is because this is in play as we speak. But you can claim 1795 01:45:46,860 --> 01:45:48,330 the second part of the flow one 1796 01:45:48,330 --> 01:45:50,040 Unknown: of the good ones, there's really two groups of 1797 01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:52,380 people who know a lot about flow. That's psychologists and 1798 01:45:52,380 --> 01:45:55,500 video game signers. And video games are really kind of as a 1799 01:45:55,500 --> 01:45:58,980 whole built for exactly this purpose. They're getting harder 1800 01:45:58,980 --> 01:46:00,780 as you get better. They're showing you and you're making 1801 01:46:00,780 --> 01:46:01,950 progress. Sweeney 1802 01:46:01,950 --> 01:46:05,910 studied how video games help people worry less. She recruited 1803 01:46:05,940 --> 01:46:09,570 300 college students and put them in a slightly stressful 1804 01:46:09,570 --> 01:46:10,290 situation, 1805 01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,110 they were unexpectedly photographed and made to believe 1806 01:46:13,110 --> 01:46:15,840 that their peers would be rating their picture. While 1807 01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:19,110 the students waited they played a game that was similar to 1808 01:46:19,110 --> 01:46:19,800 Tetris. 1809 01:46:21,210 --> 01:46:23,790 There were three versions of the classic game where players have 1810 01:46:23,790 --> 01:46:26,760 to stack up falling blocks, there was a hard one where the 1811 01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:29,970 blocks move too quickly and frustrated the players as 1812 01:46:29,970 --> 01:46:33,090 slow one that was too boring, and a 1813 01:46:33,090 --> 01:46:37,200 third version that was just right, and allow players to 1814 01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:38,310 achieve flow. 1815 01:46:38,700 --> 01:46:41,640 And the folks who were in that state, that flow state that we 1816 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,430 created with the game, they had an easier time waiting for that 1817 01:46:44,430 --> 01:46:47,100 news about their attractiveness than those who were in the other 1818 01:46:47,100 --> 01:46:47,700 conditions. 1819 01:46:47,730 --> 01:46:51,960 Sweeney says flow can be a bit of a gateway to addiction. But 1820 01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:55,230 anything can be addictive. If you do it too much. It's 1821 01:46:55,230 --> 01:46:58,410 a great tool for flow. As long as you're not sort of overdoing 1822 01:46:58,410 --> 01:47:00,120 it and checking out too much from your life. 1823 01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:03,360 I need flow. I'm gonna download that just write Tetris game. 1824 01:47:03,990 --> 01:47:06,120 Adam Curry: Yeah, I'm telling you, you get into a state of 1825 01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:09,390 flow. You're primed to become trans I'm telling you right now, 1826 01:47:09,420 --> 01:47:10,740 but you can do you can email me 1827 01:47:10,770 --> 01:47:12,510 John C Dvorak: call is called flow because as soon as you're 1828 01:47:12,510 --> 01:47:15,360 gonna call yourself and flow, my name is flow. 1829 01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,720 Adam Curry: Yes, they put you in a state of trance. Yeah, but 1830 01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:24,360 simulation, it is a simulator. And you'll you'll see. And I 1831 01:47:24,450 --> 01:47:27,600 know people who are too boomers talking about video games. Hey, 1832 01:47:28,140 --> 01:47:30,960 we bet we've been around video games longer than you've been on 1833 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:35,010 the planet. Okay. I was addicted to asteroids for 1834 01:47:35,010 --> 01:47:38,940 John C Dvorak: quite a while. Asteroids. Original that was oh, 1835 01:47:38,940 --> 01:47:43,050 gee, Pinball. Oh, gee, that's an OG. Yes. Great. That was a great 1836 01:47:43,050 --> 01:47:43,950 game when it came out. 1837 01:47:43,980 --> 01:47:45,990 Adam Curry: Asteroids was phenomenal. Especially the 1838 01:47:45,990 --> 01:47:48,480 arcade version. Anyway, well, that's 1839 01:47:48,480 --> 01:47:50,640 John C Dvorak: the one that yeah, that was the one. Let's 1840 01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:50,880 get 1841 01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:54,150 Adam Curry: back to how we're going to kill our kids. And now 1842 01:47:54,150 --> 01:47:58,860 with AI, by the way, for you, dude, video gamers, this is for 1843 01:47:58,860 --> 01:47:59,580 you. So of 1844 01:47:59,580 --> 01:48:02,160 Unknown: course not everybody thinks AI is going to be the 1845 01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:06,390 replacement, you know, for romance, not just dating apps, 1846 01:48:06,390 --> 01:48:10,380 but actual robots and things. Whereby on. So 1847 01:48:10,380 --> 01:48:14,430 I think it can be tempting and easy to look at AI as a panacea 1848 01:48:14,460 --> 01:48:17,610 for all ills, and it might be easier and more convenient to 1849 01:48:17,610 --> 01:48:21,000 turn to a chatbot tend to go out and build a relationship. But 1850 01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:23,010 these are fundamentally different. There is no 1851 01:48:23,010 --> 01:48:25,530 replacement for in person human connection. It's how we were 1852 01:48:25,530 --> 01:48:29,400 evolved over 1000s of years we were wired hardwired to connect 1853 01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:32,880 with one another. And we've got to intentionally build that back 1854 01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:34,860 into our life now because it is slipping away. 1855 01:48:34,950 --> 01:48:37,140 Adam Curry: I think we this is where we bring in the in sells 1856 01:48:37,500 --> 01:48:40,590 Unknown: to bring this back in a way to social media that you are 1857 01:48:40,590 --> 01:48:45,300 very concerned about social media algorithms amplify 1858 01:48:45,330 --> 01:48:47,070 misogynistic content, 1859 01:48:47,220 --> 01:48:50,670 Adam Curry: again, they amplify influencers telling you to get 1860 01:48:50,670 --> 01:48:53,850 on antidepressants because hot girls take Lexapro What 1861 01:48:53,850 --> 01:48:57,960 Unknown: about women podcaster and business professor at NYU 1862 01:48:57,960 --> 01:48:59,970 Scott Galloway has said you know, 1863 01:49:00,480 --> 01:49:03,870 Adam Curry: business professor isn't the professor of marketing 1864 01:49:05,130 --> 01:49:09,360 business but hold on stop it's your it's your beat Scott 1865 01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:14,040 Galloway that you can't tell me as a business professor who may 1866 01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:19,260 see this may see what is he began be a clinical perfectly 1867 01:49:21,270 --> 01:49:25,560 Clinical Professor of Marketing. What is that? 1868 01:49:27,450 --> 01:49:30,540 John C Dvorak: A click no idea what that is. Sounds 1869 01:49:30,540 --> 01:49:32,820 Adam Curry: like something you can get off of a podcast 1870 01:49:34,440 --> 01:49:37,110 John C Dvorak: like a clinical professor, clinic 1871 01:49:37,110 --> 01:49:41,520 Adam Curry: Clinical Professor of Marketing, at what school and 1872 01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:42,090 why you 1873 01:49:42,870 --> 01:49:44,460 John C Dvorak: my NYU screwed up. 1874 01:49:44,820 --> 01:49:46,320 Adam Curry: I mean, we could give out clinical, 1875 01:49:46,440 --> 01:49:49,260 John C Dvorak: clinical, clinical clinical podcasts. 1876 01:49:49,260 --> 01:49:50,640 That's our next PhD 1877 01:49:50,670 --> 01:49:54,270 Unknown: I misogynistic content. Again, all about women. 1878 01:49:54,930 --> 01:49:59,100 podcaster and business professor at NYU Scott Galloway has said 1879 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:02,520 you know because there is a really dangerous phenomenon we 1880 01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:07,230 do not want young, lonely, depressed males, you know, you 1881 01:50:07,230 --> 01:50:11,460 know in society, which is what social media is also enhancing 1882 01:50:11,460 --> 01:50:15,630 plus all those in sales, you know women hating in sales, all 1883 01:50:15,630 --> 01:50:18,180 of this also is on social media or when it 1884 01:50:18,180 --> 01:50:21,090 comes to the algorithms. I do think that they are highly 1885 01:50:21,090 --> 01:50:25,020 problematic. I think they they tend to amplify content that 1886 01:50:25,020 --> 01:50:27,780 has, as I think of it a high emotional valence. That means 1887 01:50:27,780 --> 01:50:31,290 that content that's going to stoke our emotions, if you want 1888 01:50:31,290 --> 01:50:35,520 to draw people's attention in psychology will tell you that 1889 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:40,110 the best way to do that is just stoke anxiety, fear and anger. 1890 01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:44,340 There's so many parents that I have met all across the United 1891 01:50:44,340 --> 01:50:47,640 States who have told me that when their child was in a moment 1892 01:50:47,850 --> 01:50:51,750 of emotional distress, they broke up with a girlfriend or a 1893 01:50:51,750 --> 01:50:54,720 boyfriend or they had a major disappointment in life, that At 1894 01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:58,020 those times, they have sometimes turned to social media for help 1895 01:50:58,230 --> 01:51:01,500 somebody the algorithm has often served up content that in fact 1896 01:51:01,500 --> 01:51:05,700 amplifies their sadness. In too many cases, parents have told me 1897 01:51:05,700 --> 01:51:09,600 that in those settings, the algorithm brought content to 1898 01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:12,480 their child that not only suggested that they take their 1899 01:51:12,480 --> 01:51:15,330 own life, but actually walk them through how to do that. And in 1900 01:51:15,330 --> 01:51:19,140 many cases, their child did end up losing their life. These are 1901 01:51:19,140 --> 01:51:22,620 unconscionable circumstances and situations that should not be 1902 01:51:22,620 --> 01:51:23,130 allowed. 1903 01:51:24,990 --> 01:51:29,490 Adam Curry: Ah, here's Adams advice, stop scrolling, start 1904 01:51:29,490 --> 01:51:34,590 seeking. Get off of this stuff. Parents, if you're going to be 1905 01:51:34,590 --> 01:51:39,780 held responsible. We already are putting parents in jail because 1906 01:51:39,780 --> 01:51:44,100 their kid got a gun and shot up the school. You'll be 1907 01:51:44,100 --> 01:51:46,740 responsible for everything your child does. If you don't get 1908 01:51:46,740 --> 01:51:50,580 them off social media. Get them on the basketball court. Get 1909 01:51:50,580 --> 01:51:56,220 them on the fence, get him on the fencing boards, anything, 1910 01:51:56,670 --> 01:51:57,810 anything but this 1911 01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:01,110 John C Dvorak: let me cake the fencing court how many schools 1912 01:52:01,110 --> 01:52:02,580 have that that's how 1913 01:52:02,580 --> 01:52:08,250 Adam Curry: I got into fencing. I was quite good at fencing. You 1914 01:52:08,250 --> 01:52:11,550 know that, don't you? I would say you bring it up every every 1915 01:52:11,550 --> 01:52:13,890 couple of years you bring in I was third in the nation. He was 1916 01:52:13,890 --> 01:52:16,980 actually pretty good Dutch nationals. I never got beyond 1917 01:52:16,980 --> 01:52:21,570 foil I was wanting to say but I got stuck at foil. But if 1918 01:52:21,570 --> 01:52:25,620 fencing is it's pretty cool. And they remember they came to the 1919 01:52:25,620 --> 01:52:28,290 school, they did a demonstration. And they choose 1920 01:52:28,290 --> 01:52:30,900 two kids and then you're sitting there like oh man, I wish they 1921 01:52:30,900 --> 01:52:34,410 would have chosen me and said Hey, you can come by the studio. 1922 01:52:34,410 --> 01:52:37,380 It's actually a fencing studio. Come by the studio. The master 1923 01:52:37,380 --> 01:52:41,220 will will give you a free lesson. I was hooked. I loved 1924 01:52:41,220 --> 01:52:45,270 it. It was perfect for soy boys is great. You don't need to be 1925 01:52:45,270 --> 01:52:51,210 that athletic to win at fencing anything but this anything. It 1926 01:52:51,210 --> 01:52:54,360 John C Dvorak: won't even let you do dodgeball anymore. Those 1927 01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:55,800 things too dangerous. 1928 01:52:57,900 --> 01:53:00,360 Adam Curry: Yeah, I had I had quite the reach actually, as a 1929 01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:09,030 kid. All right. We can now move to the latest in I think 1930 01:53:09,030 --> 01:53:12,990 replacement migration. Actually, there's a there's a guy I think 1931 01:53:12,990 --> 01:53:20,670 he's on. I know he's on telegram but he's also on Mon x bar RGV 1932 01:53:20,670 --> 01:53:26,700 truth RGV truth. And he has been he is down by the border on the 1933 01:53:26,700 --> 01:53:31,890 other side. And he is sending me pictures. It's all United 1934 01:53:31,890 --> 01:53:36,660 Nations International Office of migration. They got signs they 1935 01:53:36,660 --> 01:53:41,040 got instructions. They you know they give you your bag, your hat 1936 01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:48,750 your card. It's all a setup this all to move people into our 1937 01:53:48,750 --> 01:53:53,610 country because they don't want to have wages rise. In fact, we 1938 01:53:53,610 --> 01:53:56,460 need to suppress them with cheap labor. The minute they get here, 1939 01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:59,700 the system gets overloaded see Chicago then we need work 1940 01:53:59,700 --> 01:54:04,470 permits right away. Thank you unions. And well what about the 1941 01:54:04,470 --> 01:54:07,710 people who were flying in? How about those Senate 1942 01:54:07,710 --> 01:54:10,770 Unknown: amendment that 1000? Yeah, here we go. Senate 1943 01:54:10,770 --> 01:54:13,560 amendment that would ban the use of taxpayer money to fly 1944 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:18,180 migrants into the US goes down and a whopping defeat. It was 1945 01:54:18,180 --> 01:54:23,190 5147. Every Republican voted for it. Every Democrat voted against 1946 01:54:23,190 --> 01:54:25,770 it. Republican Senator Bill Haggerty out of Tennessee 1947 01:54:25,770 --> 01:54:28,980 proposed the amendment. He joins us in studio and hello to you 1948 01:54:29,850 --> 01:54:32,190 was the writing on the wall before this thing even hit the 1949 01:54:32,190 --> 01:54:32,610 floor. 1950 01:54:32,700 --> 01:54:35,760 You know it was amazing. Chuck Schumer tried everything he 1951 01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:39,330 could to block this until the very dead of night. We ran right 1952 01:54:39,330 --> 01:54:42,120 up to basically a government shutdown before he finally 1953 01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:44,940 capitulated and said okay, we'll put it on the floor but I didn't 1954 01:54:44,940 --> 01:54:47,190 get it onto the floor till the middle of the night, perhaps. 1955 01:54:47,580 --> 01:54:51,300 One 30 In the morning, when the vote went down. I think they 1956 01:54:51,300 --> 01:54:53,700 thought no one would see it. No one would see that every 1957 01:54:53,700 --> 01:54:57,480 Democrat voted to fly. illegal migrants in here from countries 1958 01:54:57,480 --> 01:55:01,350 like Haiti Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia. on taxpayer funds 1959 01:55:01,350 --> 01:55:04,440 using charter flights, flying them over our border and putting 1960 01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:06,870 them into the interior of America, how many were talking 1961 01:55:06,870 --> 01:55:09,420 about Senator 320,000 last year? 1962 01:55:11,969 --> 01:55:16,559 Adam Curry: Now, on the other hand, if we don't do this, and 1963 01:55:16,559 --> 01:55:20,579 this is an interesting way, also a little bit about birth 1964 01:55:20,579 --> 01:55:26,459 control, and Planned Parenthood and abortion rights, but look at 1965 01:55:26,459 --> 01:55:30,809 what's happening in Japan. Immigration, not encouraged 1966 01:55:30,839 --> 01:55:34,979 immigration. I don't think it's easy to go and live in Japan. 1967 01:55:34,979 --> 01:55:40,529 I'm not sure how hard it is very hard. It makes sense. Yeah, it 1968 01:55:40,529 --> 01:55:43,679 makes sense because their birth rate has plummeted. It's been 1969 01:55:43,679 --> 01:55:48,179 down for decades. And now this is the result with birth rates 1970 01:55:48,179 --> 01:55:48,569 dropping 1971 01:55:48,570 --> 01:55:51,270 Unknown: dramatically. In Japan, a company there has announced 1972 01:55:51,270 --> 01:55:54,660 that it is stopping production of diapers for babies, it says 1973 01:55:54,660 --> 01:55:58,140 demand is simply not there. Instead, it's refocusing on the 1974 01:55:58,140 --> 01:56:02,730 growing market diapers for adults, in fact, firstly, your 1975 01:56:02,730 --> 01:56:07,290 parents have outsold diapers for your newborn now for about a 1976 01:56:07,290 --> 01:56:11,730 decade. It's a surprising piece of data that shines a light on a 1977 01:56:11,730 --> 01:56:15,570 serious problem. The number of births in Japan dropped to a new 1978 01:56:15,570 --> 01:56:18,900 low last year with more than twice as many deaths as new 1979 01:56:18,900 --> 01:56:22,650 babies born. If things continue that way, Japan's population 1980 01:56:22,650 --> 01:56:27,630 could shrink by 30% over the next 45 years. I'm pleased to 1981 01:56:27,630 --> 01:56:30,210 welcome to the day Jennifer Robertson she's a Professor of 1982 01:56:30,210 --> 01:56:33,570 Anthropology and History of Art at the University of Michigan's 1983 01:56:33,570 --> 01:56:37,590 basically the demographic, the chart has flipped flopped in the 1984 01:56:37,590 --> 01:56:41,550 past century and six successive Japanese governments have they 1985 01:56:41,550 --> 01:56:45,210 tried and been unable to encourage you know, the people 1986 01:56:45,210 --> 01:56:47,280 to get married and have more babies. 1987 01:56:47,310 --> 01:56:49,830 Adam Curry: Now listen to this. Very 1988 01:56:49,830 --> 01:56:52,560 Unknown: good question. Well, during the height of the Pacific 1989 01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:58,230 War, roughly 1932 to 1945. In Japan, the government withheld 1990 01:56:58,230 --> 01:57:01,530 birth control, and also allowed soldiers to take two week 1991 01:57:01,530 --> 01:57:04,650 furlough so they could impregnate their wives to put it 1992 01:57:04,680 --> 01:57:09,630 directly. Today in democratic Japan, they can't do that. And 1993 01:57:09,630 --> 01:57:14,310 so they are trying all sorts of options, giving more money to 1994 01:57:15,180 --> 01:57:22,350 families to have children. The idea was floated back during the 1995 01:57:22,590 --> 01:57:26,490 administration of the late former Prime Minister Ave, in 1996 01:57:26,490 --> 01:57:32,100 2006. Seven to introduce robots to the home. But that hasn't 1997 01:57:32,100 --> 01:57:33,690 proved feasible at all. 1998 01:57:33,900 --> 01:57:37,350 Adam Curry: Robots Robo sapiens. That's that's the answer. 1999 01:57:38,430 --> 01:57:41,370 John C Dvorak: So the real answer, which was a subtext in 2000 01:57:41,370 --> 01:57:46,290 what she had to say, is, financial incentives would make 2001 01:57:46,290 --> 01:57:51,450 a huge difference. If it was a real incentive as opposed to no 2002 01:57:51,450 --> 01:57:54,630 incentive or oh, here's a tax credit. Exactly. You start 2003 01:57:54,630 --> 01:57:57,450 giving people the kind of money they're just rolling away on the 2004 01:57:57,450 --> 01:58:00,690 immigrants. You kick you get some babies out of it. Yes. And 2005 01:58:00,690 --> 01:58:03,360 no, they don't even think about that. Because they don't want 2006 01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:03,690 you. 2007 01:58:04,230 --> 01:58:08,910 Adam Curry: That's right. That's right. Well, that's our that's 2008 01:58:08,910 --> 01:58:15,450 our choice here in America. make babies. That's my that's my 2009 01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:20,550 advice. Okay. 2010 01:58:22,230 --> 01:58:25,890 John C Dvorak: So I want to get onto Mars. Something a little 2011 01:58:25,890 --> 01:58:28,830 different. Yeah, please, because it's kind of an ask Adam. 2012 01:58:28,860 --> 01:58:30,900 Adam Curry: I'm kind of depressed now. I mean, we've got 2013 01:58:31,260 --> 01:58:34,740 we got Japanese diapers for adults. I mean, what are we 2014 01:58:34,740 --> 01:58:37,860 going to do? robots? Robots. 2015 01:58:41,490 --> 01:58:43,920 John C Dvorak: How about this? This is an I consider this 2016 01:58:44,100 --> 01:58:47,490 Adam Curry: a do I need to get the jingle? No, 2017 01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:51,720 John C Dvorak: I consider this a native ad. This is NPR ad for 2018 01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:55,290 WTF meals. This is not the bonus, which I don't really, 2019 01:58:55,290 --> 01:58:57,900 really want to play. But I want you to play this home 2020 01:58:57,900 --> 01:59:00,960 Unknown: chef delivers home cooked meals to your dinnertime 2021 01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:05,280 routine.

Wow. 2025 01:59:17,550 --> 01:59:19,830 Adam Curry: You're telling me that wasn't an ad that is that 2026 01:59:19,830 --> 01:59:20,220 really? No. 2027 01:59:20,220 --> 01:59:23,010 John C Dvorak: That was an ad. It was actually an ad ad copy. 2028 01:59:23,010 --> 01:59:29,610 Yeah. So how does it question to you is how does this differ from 2029 01:59:29,610 --> 01:59:34,770 the 1970s? And, and something called the Swanson TV dinner? 2030 01:59:34,770 --> 01:59:40,500 Dinner?

Let's let's let's see if 2039 02:00:11,969 --> 02:00:17,429 we can find a Swanson TV dinner commercial. 1955.

By Saturday night 2110 02:04:48,480 --> 02:04:51,060 it was reported in The Wall Street Journal that MSNBC 2111 02:04:51,060 --> 02:04:53,790 President Rashida Jones had separated this network from that 2112 02:04:53,790 --> 02:04:57,810 decision indicating that Rhonda McDaniel would not appear on our 2113 02:04:57,810 --> 02:04:58,200 air. 2114 02:04:58,500 --> 02:05:03,240 Adam Curry: I love the series s&s of just how serious Nicole 2115 02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:07,800 Wallace takes herself and the journalistic integrity of the 2116 02:05:07,830 --> 02:05:10,560 NBC news department. 2117 02:05:10,620 --> 02:05:14,850 John C Dvorak: I find this whole story because of the NBC. The 2118 02:05:14,850 --> 02:05:17,670 guy who runs the news department, being a spineless 2119 02:05:17,670 --> 02:05:23,250 weenie. And everybody and this is the most amazing thing I've 2120 02:05:23,250 --> 02:05:27,030 ever witnessed that some news that these people think they're 2121 02:05:27,030 --> 02:05:29,940 newsman, and then they're not. They're just a bunch of 2122 02:05:30,210 --> 02:05:31,320 chatterboxes 2123 02:05:31,380 --> 02:05:34,050 Adam Curry: I'm Walter Cronkite's, Prodigy debits I 2124 02:05:34,050 --> 02:05:35,940 Unknown: Sunday morning following her first paid 2125 02:05:35,940 --> 02:05:39,750 appearance on NBC Meet the Press. My colleague, Chuck Todd 2126 02:05:39,780 --> 02:05:41,700 went full William McElroy 2127 02:05:42,330 --> 02:05:45,900 Adam Curry: went for what? William Knakal who's William 2128 02:05:45,900 --> 02:05:46,770 McAvoy? 2129 02:05:47,550 --> 02:05:50,790 John C Dvorak: Bye bye be right. You're asking the wrong guy. And 2130 02:05:50,790 --> 02:05:52,530 they'll look up William McAfee 2131 02:05:53,670 --> 02:05:56,460 Unknown: on behalf of who's paying her. What was that the 2132 02:05:56,460 --> 02:06:00,300 RNC? She did say that, hey, I'm speaking for the party. I get 2133 02:06:00,300 --> 02:06:05,760 that that's part of the job. So what about here, when NBC made 2134 02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:09,870 the decision to give her NBC News is credibility. You guys? 2135 02:06:10,200 --> 02:06:14,010 What does she bring NBC News. And when we make deals like 2136 02:06:14,010 --> 02:06:16,380 this, and I've been at this company a long time, you're 2137 02:06:16,380 --> 02:06:20,040 doing it for access, access to audience, sometimes it's access 2138 02:06:20,040 --> 02:06:23,880 to an individual. And we can have a journalistic ethics 2139 02:06:23,880 --> 02:06:27,930 debate about that. I have that. 2140 02:06:29,280 --> 02:06:32,370 Unfortunately, this interview is always going to be looked 2141 02:06:32,370 --> 02:06:35,370 through the prism of who is she speaking for? Unfortunately, 2142 02:06:35,370 --> 02:06:38,010 Adam Curry: they didn't have the debate about all the shields 2143 02:06:38,010 --> 02:06:43,200 that they have hired, like John Brennan, for access to the 2144 02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:47,370 intelligence community, all the former generals they have for 2145 02:06:47,370 --> 02:06:51,480 access to the military industrial complex. They have 2146 02:06:51,660 --> 02:06:57,330 Scott, what's his face from Pfizer? You know, he's always on 2147 02:06:57,330 --> 02:07:03,330 CNBC, for access to Big Pharma. This is that's the debate that I 2148 02:07:03,330 --> 02:07:07,620 would have liked to have seen. You have chip Todd, Todd 2149 02:07:07,740 --> 02:07:10,830 podcaster, that you find out who that guy is. 2150 02:07:11,910 --> 02:07:14,760 John C Dvorak: There's a million of them, including the ex CEO of 2151 02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:17,610 Pan American Airways. No, you can't figure out who it is a 2152 02:07:17,610 --> 02:07:21,090 football player, a botanist. There's, there's that name is 2153 02:07:21,090 --> 02:07:24,930 very common. So I don't know what the reference is to and I 2154 02:07:24,930 --> 02:07:27,720 guess you'd have to work at MSNBC to understand it back to 2155 02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:29,850 Unknown: Nicole Wallace. My colleagues, Joe Scarborough and 2156 02:07:29,850 --> 02:07:32,130 Mika Brzezinski also weighed in this morning. 2157 02:07:33,870 --> 02:07:36,870 We weren't asked our opinion of the hiring. But if we were we 2158 02:07:36,870 --> 02:07:40,260 would have strongly objected to it for several reasons. Oh, it's 2159 02:07:40,260 --> 02:07:44,850 Adam Curry: the newsroom on HBO. That's, well, there's a 2160 02:07:44,850 --> 02:07:48,660 reference for you. The guy that you're looking for. 2161 02:07:50,310 --> 02:07:53,040 John C Dvorak: Yeah, so it's a fictional character 2162 02:07:53,250 --> 02:07:56,190 Unknown: character behind but if it were, we would have strongly 2163 02:07:56,190 --> 02:08:01,170 objected to it for several reasons, including, but not 2164 02:08:01,170 --> 02:08:05,070 limited to, as lawyers might say, Miss McDaniels role in 2165 02:08:05,070 --> 02:08:08,520 Donald Trump's fake electoral scheme. And her pressuring 2166 02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:13,020 election officials to not certify election results while 2167 02:08:13,020 --> 02:08:15,420 Donald Trump was on the phone. 2168 02:08:15,750 --> 02:08:20,340 To be clear, oh, we believe NBC News should seek out 2169 02:08:20,340 --> 02:08:23,910 conservative Republican voices to provide balance in their 2170 02:08:23,910 --> 02:08:28,680 election coverage. But it should be conservative Republicans not 2171 02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:33,930 a person who used her position of power to be an anti democracy 2172 02:08:33,960 --> 02:08:35,310 election denier. 2173 02:08:37,980 --> 02:08:40,050 Adam Curry: Love it when the news reports on itself and 2174 02:08:40,050 --> 02:08:43,140 they're not just reporting on. On other news, people know 2175 02:08:43,170 --> 02:08:47,880 themself. They take themselves so Do you not realize that we 2176 02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:53,670 all laugh at you? That we mock you? And and wait and this is 2177 02:08:53,670 --> 02:08:59,700 the kicker? They take themselves so seriously. For what are they 2178 02:08:59,700 --> 02:09:03,960 doing? Like 900,000 viewers? This podcast has more listeners 2179 02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:05,580 than you have viewers people. 2180 02:09:05,610 --> 02:09:07,800 Unknown: For our part here. We're gonna cover this story as 2181 02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:10,980 part of our ongoing series of conversations about American 2182 02:09:10,980 --> 02:09:14,910 autocracy asking the question are positing the theory that it 2183 02:09:14,910 --> 02:09:18,150 could happen here? I'm gonna read to you an excerpt from 2184 02:09:18,150 --> 02:09:20,670 Timothy Snyder's on tyranny. Timothy 2185 02:09:20,670 --> 02:09:22,500 Adam Curry: Snyder on to who is this? 2186 02:09:22,980 --> 02:09:23,730 John C Dvorak: Oh no, is 2187 02:09:23,730 --> 02:09:25,590 Adam Curry: this another queer reference and it's 2188 02:09:25,590 --> 02:09:28,410 Unknown: standing by to talk to us. This is from the first page 2189 02:09:28,410 --> 02:09:31,260 that's the first chapter of on tyranny, quote, most of the 2190 02:09:31,260 --> 02:09:35,370 power of authoritarianism is freely given in times like these 2191 02:09:35,370 --> 02:09:38,220 individuals think ahead about what a more repressive 2192 02:09:38,220 --> 02:09:41,940 government will want, and then offer themselves without being 2193 02:09:41,940 --> 02:09:46,500 asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power, what 2194 02:09:46,500 --> 02:09:51,120 it can do and quote in this new either way. 2195 02:09:53,280 --> 02:09:55,830 Adam Curry: It's Timothy. Timothy knows what he's talking 2196 02:09:55,830 --> 02:10:00,000 about. This they are the witnesses fart sniffing. That's 2197 02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:03,810 with this is it's what farts sniffing the sniffing each 2198 02:10:03,810 --> 02:10:06,150 other's farts. This is nasty and then 2199 02:10:06,150 --> 02:10:09,630 Unknown: offer themselves without being asked. A citizen 2200 02:10:09,630 --> 02:10:12,960 who adapts in this way is teaching power, what it can do 2201 02:10:13,050 --> 02:10:17,340 and quote, in this instance, NBC News either wittingly or 2202 02:10:17,340 --> 02:10:22,020 unwittingly is teaching election deniers that what they can do 2203 02:10:22,050 --> 02:10:25,530 stretches well beyond appearing on our air in interviews to 2204 02:10:25,530 --> 02:10:29,190 peddle lies about the sanctity and integrity of our elections, 2205 02:10:29,190 --> 02:10:33,750 which Ron McDaniels did yesterday at the press.

Here we go. 2216 02:11:00,090 --> 02:11:02,700 Unknown: But we've also said election deniers is not just 2217 02:11:02,700 --> 02:11:05,220 they can do that on our airwaves with that they can do that as 2218 02:11:05,220 --> 02:11:10,590 one of us as bad carrying employees of NBC News as paid 2219 02:11:10,590 --> 02:11:13,050 contributors to our sacred airwaves. 2220 02:11:15,180 --> 02:11:18,300 John C Dvorak: I have that in one of my clips are so far so 2221 02:11:18,300 --> 02:11:19,830 good airways. 2222 02:11:22,410 --> 02:11:26,160 Adam Curry: You're on.

His presentation is 2234 02:12:02,280 --> 02:12:08,130 sucks. Is it's decent here. Oh, Rona one. 2235 02:12:09,990 --> 02:12:13,440 Adam Curry: You don't have any you don't have Rhona one. Oh, 2236 02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:15,360 fiasco is that the one Okay, 2237 02:12:15,660 --> 02:12:20,010 Unknown: McDaniels out. NBC just announced they're firing the 2238 02:12:20,010 --> 02:12:24,060 former RNC Chairwoman after one day on the job. I'm banning 2239 02:12:24,060 --> 02:12:28,290 Adam Curry: him after this. I'm banning Jesse Walter Walton from 2240 02:12:28,290 --> 02:12:29,700 our airwaves. That's 2241 02:12:29,700 --> 02:12:32,430 Unknown: point three Scaramucci from our sacred airwaves. 2242 02:12:33,240 --> 02:12:36,390 Chairman Cesar Conde just sent out a memo to employees that 2243 02:12:36,390 --> 02:12:39,840 reads, I want to personally apologize to our team members 2244 02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:43,050 who felt we let them down. We will redouble our efforts to 2245 02:12:43,050 --> 02:12:46,230 seek voices. They represent different parts of the political 2246 02:12:46,230 --> 02:12:50,520 spectrum. The talent is already taking a victory lap. 2247 02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:55,770 I still feel I still feel like a little it always feels wrong to 2248 02:12:55,770 --> 02:12:58,470 talk about things, you know, in the company. And I think it's a 2249 02:12:58,470 --> 02:13:01,260 show of respect for the people who work at this company. You 2250 02:13:01,260 --> 02:13:04,410 know, it's not about hiring a Republican. It's not even about 2251 02:13:04,410 --> 02:13:07,230 hiring somebody that's Trump ties. This was a really specific 2252 02:13:07,230 --> 02:13:10,500 case because of Ms. McDaniels and her involvement in the 2253 02:13:10,680 --> 02:13:14,340 election interference stuff. And I'm grateful that our our 2254 02:13:14,340 --> 02:13:17,850 leadership was willing to do that. I think this the bold, 2255 02:13:17,910 --> 02:13:19,410 strong, resilient 2256 02:13:19,410 --> 02:13:23,580 thing Oh, resilient. So NBC breasted a 180 after the talent 2257 02:13:23,580 --> 02:13:26,580 revolted. The people who were involved 2258 02:13:26,970 --> 02:13:30,720 in hiring Ronna Romney McDaniel, they don't know the Nixon rule. 2259 02:13:30,750 --> 02:13:33,300 No one close to the crimes. This is about 2260 02:13:33,300 --> 02:13:38,160 truth versus lies service to the country versus service to one 2261 02:13:38,160 --> 02:13:41,190 man committed to toppling our democratic system. 2262 02:13:41,190 --> 02:13:44,130 But we've also said election deniers is not just they can do 2263 02:13:44,130 --> 02:13:47,100 that on our airwaves with that they can do that, as one of us. 2264 02:13:47,430 --> 02:13:53,010 As bad carrying employees of NBC News is paid contributors to our 2265 02:13:53,010 --> 02:13:54,030 sacred airwaves. 2266 02:13:54,060 --> 02:13:58,080 You wouldn't hire a pig pocket to work as a TSA screener. Oh 2267 02:13:58,080 --> 02:14:01,920 no, I find the decision to put her on the payroll. It's 2268 02:14:02,130 --> 02:14:03,240 inexplicable. This 2269 02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:06,060 Adam Curry: is what our news media has become their reporting 2270 02:14:06,060 --> 02:14:10,890 on other news media is great. It's it's it's atrocious. 2271 02:14:11,430 --> 02:14:13,320 John C Dvorak: And by the way, these clips are better than the 2272 02:14:13,320 --> 02:14:16,290 ones you provided because it's got Rachel in there. Oh, that's 2273 02:14:16,290 --> 02:14:16,740 Adam Curry: so much. 2274 02:14:16,740 --> 02:14:19,320 John C Dvorak: We have a double band we have the band Jesse 2275 02:14:19,320 --> 02:14:19,920 Waller. 2276 02:14:21,030 --> 02:14:25,980 Adam Curry: Plus, and Daniel's all of them. 2277 02:14:27,540 --> 02:14:29,790 Unknown: The second was a kicker. Rhonda McDaniel tells 2278 02:14:29,790 --> 02:14:33,690 fox that she still hasn't heard anything from NBC. She learned 2279 02:14:33,690 --> 02:14:37,110 she was getting fired by reading it in the media. And now she's 2280 02:14:37,110 --> 02:14:40,950 looking for a lawyer and her agency that walked her into this 2281 02:14:40,950 --> 02:14:43,440 gig CAA just dropped her 2282 02:14:45,750 --> 02:14:48,840 John C Dvorak: died now there's information for you. Yeah, well, 2283 02:14:48,990 --> 02:14:53,940 I will agree the way C a blocked her into the deal and then fired 2284 02:14:53,940 --> 02:14:58,050 her.

Trying to cry harder. 2348 02:18:42,540 --> 02:18:46,740 Meanwhile, Trump Media and Technology Group dj t stock 2349 02:18:46,740 --> 02:18:52,110 ticker short sword sword is now what are we at now? Six, almost 2350 02:18:52,110 --> 02:18:53,310 $62 2351 02:18:53,610 --> 02:18:55,860 John C Dvorak: And I think it hits 75 At one polling dropped 2352 02:18:55,860 --> 02:18:57,060 back to fit the same.

So that's working 2355 02:19:08,190 --> 02:19:15,300 perfectly. Perfectly for for Orange Man bad. But we got to 2356 02:19:15,300 --> 02:19:17,640 take it one step further. This is my favorite this 2357 02:19:17,640 --> 02:19:20,040 Unknown: morning ahead of his criminal hush money trial. 2358 02:19:20,100 --> 02:19:23,850 Former President Trump is under a new gag order prohibited from 2359 02:19:23,850 --> 02:19:27,330 making public statements about witnesses, court staff and 2360 02:19:27,330 --> 02:19:30,450 jurors in the case concerning his alleged payment to porn 2361 02:19:30,450 --> 02:19:31,950 actress stormy Daniels, 2362 02:19:32,549 --> 02:19:36,029 Democrat judge he wants to do that because they're all trying 2363 02:19:36,029 --> 02:19:37,889 to damage Trump as much as possible. 2364 02:19:37,920 --> 02:19:41,610 The gag order still allows Trump to criticize the judge in 2365 02:19:41,610 --> 02:19:44,790 District Attorney. The trial begins in three weeks, but 2366 02:19:44,790 --> 02:19:48,450 another deadline looms closer Trump has eight days to post a 2367 02:19:48,450 --> 02:19:54,900 $175 million bond in a civil fraud case. A big day on Wall 2368 02:19:54,900 --> 02:19:57,960 Street yesterday could help him with his financial challenges. 2369 02:19:58,080 --> 02:20:01,860 Shares in Trump's media company rose 16% on their first day of 2370 02:20:01,860 --> 02:20:04,770 trading, his stake in the company is now worth more than 2371 02:20:04,770 --> 02:20:06,720 four and a half billion dollars. 2372 02:20:06,750 --> 02:20:10,260 This company is now valued at about 1000 times its annual 2373 02:20:10,260 --> 02:20:12,540 revenue, it really doesn't make any business sense. 2374 02:20:13,950 --> 02:20:17,790 Adam Curry: Unlike every AI company, every bull crap company 2375 02:20:17,790 --> 02:20:21,720 we've seen in the past 30 years. Of course, it doesn't make 2376 02:20:21,720 --> 02:20:22,830 sense. Today, 2377 02:20:22,860 --> 02:20:25,800 Unknown: Trump likely won't be able to cash out though to later 2378 02:20:25,800 --> 02:20:26,820 this year. This 2379 02:20:26,820 --> 02:20:30,930 Adam Curry: is this is the biggest lie I've ever heard. And 2380 02:20:30,930 --> 02:20:34,650 they're all doing it. Oh, he has a lock up he can sell even the 2381 02:20:34,650 --> 02:20:37,860 Clinical Professor of Marketing was spouting this bullcrap. 2382 02:20:38,250 --> 02:20:43,530 Anybody who has a $4 billion stake can easily get half a 2383 02:20:43,530 --> 02:20:47,010 billion dollar caller. Do you want to explain collars everyone 2384 02:20:47,010 --> 02:20:48,000 knows what we're talking about? 2385 02:20:48,030 --> 02:20:51,780 John C Dvorak: Yeah, collars and off the book sale of the asset 2386 02:20:51,780 --> 02:20:55,590 to somebody else some, some person or entity that gives you 2387 02:20:55,590 --> 02:20:58,770 the money in advance. It's it's I don't know why it's called a 2388 02:20:58,770 --> 02:21:00,420 collar. I should know well, but 2389 02:21:00,450 --> 02:21:03,060 Adam Curry: it's a collar around your neck. It 2390 02:21:03,060 --> 02:21:08,070 John C Dvorak: but the board would know this to the board can 2391 02:21:08,100 --> 02:21:13,110 grant him the ability to sell the stock tomorrow or at least 2392 02:21:13,110 --> 02:21:16,980 sell $150 million worth of it tomorrow, which is not that big 2393 02:21:16,980 --> 02:21:21,420 of a steak. It won't sink to thing if they want to. And he's 2394 02:21:21,420 --> 02:21:25,260 the guy that's that keeps the thing in check. It's him. It's 2395 02:21:25,260 --> 02:21:27,870 his name. If he went to the board and asked for that you 2396 02:21:27,870 --> 02:21:31,770 think they'd say no. That's the dumbest thing to forget the 2397 02:21:31,770 --> 02:21:37,350 caller. Yeah, but no way. They wouldn't say no. They'd say 2398 02:21:37,380 --> 02:21:42,210 Sure. Here.

How's he 2401 02:21:45,900 --> 02:21:48,900 going to? You know what, he's got a new Gambit. I love it. And 2402 02:21:48,900 --> 02:21:49,950 I'm buying me one. 2403 02:21:50,070 --> 02:21:52,590 Unknown: It's annual revenue. It really doesn't make any business 2404 02:21:52,590 --> 02:21:54,780 sense from where we stand today. Trump 2405 02:21:54,780 --> 02:21:58,200 likely won't be able to cash out though to later this year to 2406 02:21:58,200 --> 02:22:01,950 raise money even faster. He's now selling Bibles. All 2407 02:22:01,950 --> 02:22:02,550 Americans 2408 02:22:02,550 --> 02:22:07,320 need a Bible in their home and I have many as my favorite book. 2409 02:22:07,350 --> 02:22:11,760 It's a lot of people's favorite book. We must make America pray 2410 02:22:11,790 --> 02:22:12,960 again. So 2411 02:22:12,960 --> 02:22:19,140 called the USA Bible sells for 5999 It's huge. It's a great 2412 02:22:19,140 --> 02:22:23,310 John C Dvorak: other funny. You. Actually one of the more 2413 02:22:23,310 --> 02:22:27,930 charming aspects of Trump is you just cannot get him out of 2414 02:22:27,930 --> 02:22:30,990 huckster mode. No, he sees an opportunity. 2415 02:22:31,020 --> 02:22:34,170 Adam Curry: I'm buying one. This is fantastic. Are you kidding me 2416 02:22:34,170 --> 02:22:35,250 this almost everyday thing 2417 02:22:35,250 --> 02:22:36,900 John C Dvorak: that all these huckster things he's done, 2418 02:22:36,900 --> 02:22:40,590 including the phony bills, the $2 bill, all the rest of it, the 2419 02:22:40,590 --> 02:22:45,450 coins. It's all collectible. It's ultimately collectible to 2420 02:22:45,450 --> 02:22:47,370 political memorabilia, people. I 2421 02:22:47,370 --> 02:22:50,580 Adam Curry: wish I could have gotten those sneakers. They're 2422 02:22:50,580 --> 02:22:50,760 all 2423 02:22:50,760 --> 02:22:54,060 John C Dvorak: the sneakers. Yeah. Oh, I know.

You know, 2429 02:23:03,480 --> 02:23:06,630 this. Everything from Trump Steaks to Trump University, and 2430 02:23:06,630 --> 02:23:09,840 I always try to slam him for this stuff. But this is a guy 2431 02:23:09,840 --> 02:23:14,130 who is the American. Yeah, classic American guy who's just 2432 02:23:14,190 --> 02:23:16,980 trying to make money at it anyway. He can.

I love it. I want that Bible. It's it's it's the 2436 02:23:26,790 --> 02:23:30,840 most popular book. It's a huge book. It's a great book.

That's who we are as Americans face it. 2441 02:23:47,130 --> 02:23:50,100 We're not like commie socialists. We love this stuff. 2442 02:23:50,280 --> 02:23:53,670 deep in our hearts. We love this. Every I think also every 2443 02:23:53,670 --> 02:23:57,000 immigrant who comes into America like is this a great country or 2444 02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:03,120 what? This guy is selling Bibles? Come on. It's, it's 2445 02:24:03,150 --> 02:24:07,230 awesome. And of course, it flies in the face of this little 2446 02:24:07,230 --> 02:24:08,520 report. Christian 2447 02:24:08,520 --> 02:24:12,300 Unknown: nationalism is a cultural framework that 2448 02:24:12,330 --> 02:24:16,500 idealizes and advocates for the close fusion of a very 2449 02:24:16,500 --> 02:24:20,010 particular expression of Christianity with American civic 2450 02:24:20,010 --> 02:24:24,240 life, it does include those Orthodox and traditional beliefs 2451 02:24:24,480 --> 02:24:28,230 of the historic Christian faith. But what it also includes are a 2452 02:24:28,230 --> 02:24:32,100 number of cultural elements. These cultural elements are a 2453 02:24:32,100 --> 02:24:37,770 desire for a traditionalist social policies to be central to 2454 02:24:37,770 --> 02:24:41,850 the society. It also has a desire for strict authoritarian 2455 02:24:41,850 --> 02:24:43,320 social control. We want 2456 02:24:43,320 --> 02:24:46,890 Trump to be the dictator to change politics forever. 2457 02:24:46,920 --> 02:24:50,850 We also see another cultural element is a desire for strict 2458 02:24:50,850 --> 02:24:52,260 ethno racial boundaries. 2459 02:24:52,290 --> 02:24:54,870 For example, an overwhelming majority of Christian 2460 02:24:54,870 --> 02:24:57,660 nationalists believe in replacement theory, and the 2461 02:24:57,660 --> 02:25:00,810 conspiracy that claims white Americans and you Europeans are 2462 02:25:00,810 --> 02:25:04,230 being deliberately replaced by non white immigrants. Many 2463 02:25:04,230 --> 02:25:07,620 Christian nationalists also see black Americans as inherently 2464 02:25:07,620 --> 02:25:11,220 more violent, thus justifying police brutality. Do you mean a 2465 02:25:11,220 --> 02:25:14,700 certain ethno religious group as having the only rightful claim 2466 02:25:14,730 --> 02:25:18,030 to being American is known by some as white Christian 2467 02:25:18,030 --> 02:25:21,990 nationalism, and many see it as a threat to American democracy. 2468 02:25:22,380 --> 02:25:25,770 One of Trumps close allies, the Center for renewing America 2469 02:25:25,770 --> 02:25:28,890 think tank has already forged policy plans for the second 2470 02:25:28,890 --> 02:25:32,490 term, aligning with this far right idea. With a statement on 2471 02:25:32,490 --> 02:25:36,270 the CRS website reading our mission is to renew a consensus 2472 02:25:36,270 --> 02:25:38,400 of America as a nation under God. 2473 02:25:38,610 --> 02:25:44,790 Adam Curry: Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. We can't have that. One 2474 02:25:44,790 --> 02:25:48,510 nation under God, indivisible. No. What are they trying to do? 2475 02:25:49,560 --> 02:25:51,540 John C Dvorak: They're trying to screw us horrible idea. I 2476 02:25:51,540 --> 02:25:55,680 Adam Curry: got Did you see this boots on the ground from our our 2477 02:25:55,680 --> 02:25:59,220 fellow ham November 7 Delta Romeo kilo? No, I 2478 02:25:59,220 --> 02:26:00,780 John C Dvorak: did not read it. Yes, he's 2479 02:26:00,780 --> 02:26:03,810 Adam Curry: David. He is the Arizona State communications 2480 02:26:03,810 --> 02:26:07,710 coordinator for the Convention of States, which we talked 2481 02:26:07,710 --> 02:26:13,530 about. And because you were you were very against this idea, 2482 02:26:13,950 --> 02:26:17,580 then I'm all for it. And I saw it come through, but I had not 2483 02:26:17,580 --> 02:26:19,980 read it. I'll read it because it's interesting. He said, I 2484 02:26:19,980 --> 02:26:22,170 want to weigh in about the Convention of States. I have my 2485 02:26:22,170 --> 02:26:25,080 boots firmly planted on the ground in this department, once 2486 02:26:25,080 --> 02:26:28,380 again, proving we are the best podcast in the universe with US 2487 02:26:28,380 --> 02:26:28,980 producers. 2488 02:26:29,070 --> 02:26:32,460 John C Dvorak: It's It is unbelievable. Considering the 2489 02:26:32,460 --> 02:26:36,000 lousy donations, we've been getting recently, that we have 2490 02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:37,290 this kind of access. 2491 02:26:38,010 --> 02:26:40,380 Adam Curry: Yeah, and we don't have to hire anybody for this 2492 02:26:40,380 --> 02:26:44,670 kind of access. Todd. I've been a volunteer for the Convention 2493 02:26:44,670 --> 02:26:48,510 of States for eight years. And I'm currently the Arizona State 2494 02:26:48,510 --> 02:26:51,810 communications coordinator. I've worked tirelessly to correct the 2495 02:26:51,810 --> 02:26:56,310 perception that, John, that the Convention of States is seeking 2496 02:26:56,310 --> 02:26:59,520 to change the US Constitution, nothing could be further from 2497 02:26:59,520 --> 02:27:02,670 the truth. As we want to simply propose amendments to the 2498 02:27:02,670 --> 02:27:06,960 Constitution and stick to the three subjects of term limits, 2499 02:27:07,140 --> 02:27:11,520 fiscal restraints, and curbing federal overreach. We are 2500 02:27:11,520 --> 02:27:15,120 already past the halfway point to call a convention as 19 2501 02:27:15,120 --> 02:27:18,720 states have already adopted resolutions, a total of 34 is 2502 02:27:18,720 --> 02:27:22,200 needed to call a convention. Although John thinks this is an 2503 02:27:22,350 --> 02:27:29,370 unorganized pipe dream. We are actually I love our producers, 2504 02:27:29,580 --> 02:27:32,400 we are actually a well organized group of regular people 2505 02:27:32,400 --> 02:27:35,790 volunteering part of our own time, talent and treasure to 2506 02:27:35,790 --> 02:27:38,250 something that can positively change the country in a 2507 02:27:38,250 --> 02:27:41,430 desperately needed way. It's been a long road to get to this 2508 02:27:41,430 --> 02:27:44,580 point, especially since a lot of people cling to the fear that 2509 02:27:44,580 --> 02:27:47,850 this will jeopardize the Constitution. It will not. And 2510 02:27:47,880 --> 02:27:50,370 what they don't know is that this country has a history of 2511 02:27:50,370 --> 02:27:53,790 state conventions. We still use them today to negotiate water 2512 02:27:53,790 --> 02:27:56,910 rights. Miss characterizing the movement as a constitutional 2513 02:27:56,910 --> 02:28:00,210 convention, when it's really an amendment proposing convention, 2514 02:28:00,390 --> 02:28:04,890 is what the enemies of the people No, that's me, are an 2515 02:28:04,890 --> 02:28:08,040 enemy of the people. John, I know that neither of you are 2516 02:28:08,040 --> 02:28:12,300 enemies of the people. That was your worst out, but felt it was 2517 02:28:12,300 --> 02:28:14,940 necessary to bring this to your attention so that you guys could 2518 02:28:14,940 --> 02:28:17,910 continue to be informed at the highest level of information. It 2519 02:28:17,910 --> 02:28:21,510 is also my duty to do so. Thank you both for your own tireless 2520 02:28:21,510 --> 02:28:24,120 efforts for the cause of liberty. I'll catch you in the 2521 02:28:24,120 --> 02:28:28,710 morning. 70 threes, November 7, Delta Romeo kilo, there you go. 2522 02:28:28,740 --> 02:28:30,240 There you go. So now you know, 2523 02:28:30,480 --> 02:28:32,040 John C Dvorak: I appreciate that kind of note. 2524 02:28:32,070 --> 02:28:34,620 Adam Curry: Yeah, it's a great note and then had explained I'm 2525 02:28:34,620 --> 02:28:37,470 all for this Constitutional Convention of States and we'll 2526 02:28:37,470 --> 02:28:39,270 John C Dvorak: see how it goes. I 2527 02:28:39,270 --> 02:28:41,730 Adam Curry: got the halfway there. Halfway there. 2528 02:28:42,990 --> 02:28:46,080 John C Dvorak: Oh, goodness, new got cyber attack. last clip, 2529 02:28:46,110 --> 02:28:48,930 which is kind of interesting. I also have a George Galloway 2530 02:28:49,110 --> 02:28:52,230 tirade in front of Parliament, which I thought was decent. 2531 02:28:52,260 --> 02:28:52,770 Let's do that 2532 02:28:52,770 --> 02:28:55,770 Adam Curry: one first, and then the cyber a clip. Okay, George 2533 02:28:55,770 --> 02:28:57,150 Galloway. Now he's the commie. 2534 02:28:58,410 --> 02:29:01,350 John C Dvorak: No, no, no, you're taking another guy. Oh, 2535 02:29:01,350 --> 02:29:02,490 he's Galloway. 2536 02:29:02,820 --> 02:29:05,850 Adam Curry: Galloway just won his district and he's in the 2537 02:29:06,570 --> 02:29:07,050 army. 2538 02:29:07,140 --> 02:29:10,200 John C Dvorak: Well, he's, well, he could be but he's a commie in 2539 02:29:10,200 --> 02:29:12,660 the same way that that Claire's a communist is 2540 02:29:12,660 --> 02:29:16,230 Adam Curry: a three minute, three minute clip. What is a 2541 02:29:16,230 --> 02:29:17,250 three minute clip? 2542 02:29:20,100 --> 02:29:21,510 John C Dvorak: It looks minute and B it looks 2543 02:29:21,540 --> 02:29:24,330 Adam Curry: it looks Miss clip to let me say the truth 2544 02:29:24,330 --> 02:29:29,910 Unknown: is the our country is in very real danger of falling 2545 02:29:29,940 --> 02:29:34,650 into the trap of Mussolini going around the world threatening 2546 02:29:34,650 --> 02:29:39,330 people with Germany's army. Our politicians go around the world 2547 02:29:39,330 --> 02:29:42,510 threatening people with America's Army. But there's a 2548 02:29:42,510 --> 02:29:48,540 big change coming. Madam Deputy Speaker. They don't like it on 2549 02:29:48,540 --> 02:29:52,740 either side of the aisle. But President Trump is coming back 2550 02:29:53,220 --> 02:29:59,550 in November, and he doesn't much fancy the NATO. He doesn't 2551 02:29:59,580 --> 02:30:03,930 intend And to send American soldiers to die for CO pianist 2552 02:30:04,200 --> 02:30:09,930 or for the Zelinsky regime in gear. He has no intention 2553 02:30:09,960 --> 02:30:14,910 whatsoever of continuing the war in Ukraine and I heard the 2554 02:30:14,910 --> 02:30:19,920 member, senior member of the House say, if America withdraws 2555 02:30:19,920 --> 02:30:24,540 from NATO, we're going to have to increase our contribution to 2556 02:30:24,540 --> 02:30:32,610 5%, six, maybe 7% of GDP. These people seriously imagine that 2557 02:30:32,610 --> 02:30:36,900 they'll continue NATO without the United States of America. 2558 02:30:37,080 --> 02:30:40,830 What kind of NATO without would really be Gilbert and Sullivan, 2559 02:30:41,070 --> 02:30:47,850 unless, of course, we are going to devote not 50 billion of our 2560 02:30:47,850 --> 02:30:52,650 public treasure, but hundreds of billions of our public treasure 2561 02:30:53,310 --> 02:30:57,630 on defense. Well, have any of these people seen the state of 2562 02:30:57,630 --> 02:31:02,220 the public realm in Britain? Have they seen the state of the 2563 02:31:02,220 --> 02:31:06,000 National Health Service? Have they seen the state of our 2564 02:31:06,000 --> 02:31:11,910 streets or public buildings, or public transport? Have they seen 2565 02:31:11,910 --> 02:31:16,560 the wage packets being earned in this country? Have they seen 2566 02:31:16,560 --> 02:31:21,540 pensioner poverty? Have they seen your poverty in action? 2567 02:31:21,960 --> 02:31:26,340 Have they met people that have to choose between eating and 2568 02:31:26,340 --> 02:31:31,350 eating? And these fools want to spend not 50 billion, but 2569 02:31:31,350 --> 02:31:36,060 hundreds of billions on weapons of war, that we're going to 2570 02:31:36,060 --> 02:31:41,400 fight with an army that could fit into Villa Park 70,000 2571 02:31:41,520 --> 02:31:48,840 soldiers can fit into a single football stadium. And 2572 02:31:50,460 --> 02:31:53,070 Adam Curry: he was also on the Big Brother, I think, wasn't it? 2573 02:31:53,850 --> 02:31:54,660 John C Dvorak: I don't know. Yeah, I 2574 02:31:54,660 --> 02:31:56,700 Adam Curry: think it was, I think it was on the Big Brother 2575 02:31:56,700 --> 02:31:57,000 show. 2576 02:31:59,400 --> 02:32:01,980 John C Dvorak: But it was that that was a decent, right? I have 2577 02:32:02,610 --> 02:32:04,830 I have their day. You know, their predict everyone's getting 2578 02:32:04,830 --> 02:32:08,010 ready for Trump. It's like they're getting ready for Trump. 2579 02:32:08,580 --> 02:32:11,490 Trump. I don't see how he's not going to get in.

No numbers have been 2585 02:32:32,820 --> 02:32:36,090 leaked yet. They're being housed in schools. For all practical 2586 02:32:36,120 --> 02:32:40,680 practical purposes. This is a NATO force. Let the games begin. 2587 02:32:40,980 --> 02:32:44,190 Mr. King's House business cards will be in great demand whoever 2588 02:32:44,190 --> 02:32:51,720 that is. So yeah, so we've got NATO troops on the ground. And 2589 02:32:51,720 --> 02:32:57,330 everyone's talking conscription everywhere going to war. Wow, I 2590 02:32:57,330 --> 02:33:01,440 gotta get Christina out of there. I would say I gotta get 2591 02:33:01,440 --> 02:33:02,520 her out of there. This is 2592 02:33:02,550 --> 02:33:04,770 John C Dvorak: she's not gonna get conscripted. Well, 2593 02:33:04,830 --> 02:33:08,670 Adam Curry: not yet.

Yes, well, we're 2596 02:33:17,340 --> 02:33:18,840 John C Dvorak: gonna do everything we can to kill 2597 02:33:18,840 --> 02:33:21,150 everyone who's Ukrainian. That's what we're doing now. 2598 02:33:21,180 --> 02:33:22,440 Adam Curry: Yeah, so we can move in. 2599 02:33:23,640 --> 02:33:25,530 John C Dvorak: All right, sidebar. Gil can move and we're 2600 02:33:25,530 --> 02:33:26,130 not moving 2601 02:33:26,160 --> 02:33:28,440 Adam Curry: cargo is already know we need Cargill workers. 2602 02:33:28,470 --> 02:33:31,770 That's true. Cargill is already executives. Exactly. And we need 2603 02:33:31,770 --> 02:33:35,340 to steal that Russian money. So we bolster our SWIFT system. 2604 02:33:37,080 --> 02:33:40,710 Good idea. All right, cyber attack. Last news. And before we 2605 02:33:40,710 --> 02:33:42,300 take our break here, Homeland Security 2606 02:33:42,300 --> 02:33:44,400 Unknown: will soon be requiring companies working in critical 2607 02:33:44,400 --> 02:33:47,850 infrastructure to report cyber attacks to the government in a 2608 02:33:47,850 --> 02:33:51,270 timely manner. Otherwise, the company could face fines more 2609 02:33:51,270 --> 02:33:52,500 from employers, Jenna McLaughlin 2610 02:33:52,530 --> 02:33:55,860 2022, Congress passed a law that would require owners and 2611 02:33:55,860 --> 02:33:58,860 operators of us critical infrastructure to report cyber 2612 02:33:58,860 --> 02:34:01,650 incidents to the Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity 2613 02:34:01,650 --> 02:34:05,070 agency Sissa. That includes everything from the power grid 2614 02:34:05,070 --> 02:34:09,030 to oil and gas pipelines. Now, Cisco is releasing an initial 2615 02:34:09,030 --> 02:34:11,670 version of those specific rules or a Notice of Proposed 2616 02:34:11,670 --> 02:34:15,030 Rulemaking. Companies will have 72 hours to share cyber 2617 02:34:15,030 --> 02:34:18,120 incidents and 24 hours after making a ransom payment to a 2618 02:34:18,120 --> 02:34:21,870 cyber criminal group, since the expects over 300,000 2619 02:34:21,870 --> 02:34:24,960 organizations will be accountable to the new rules. If 2620 02:34:24,960 --> 02:34:27,780 companies fail to comply, they could be subpoenaed or referred 2621 02:34:27,780 --> 02:34:30,750 to the Justice Department for potential civil action. The 2622 02:34:30,750 --> 02:34:33,300 government believes these rules are vital during a time of 2623 02:34:33,300 --> 02:34:36,720 rampant cyber attacks against US companies. Yeah. 2624 02:34:37,230 --> 02:34:40,140 John C Dvorak: So the government got sick of waiting to have this 2625 02:34:40,320 --> 02:34:44,700 government corporate, you know, agreement that was going on 2626 02:34:44,730 --> 02:34:47,640 during the Obama administration.

And now they said 2629 02:34:54,720 --> 02:34:58,260 okay, we waited too long enough. We're just gonna pass a law rule 2630 02:34:58,260 --> 02:35:00,360 and you're gonna have to do it or you're gonna get fined Big 2631 02:35:00,360 --> 02:35:04,290 time after 72 hours if you don't join, you know as Sisa this 2632 02:35:04,560 --> 02:35:07,620 bullcrap operations, that's not going to do anything anyway. 2633 02:35:08,880 --> 02:35:10,890 This is this is a horrible. 2634 02:35:11,790 --> 02:35:14,430 Adam Curry: Actually I have two more quick things to discuss 2635 02:35:14,430 --> 02:35:21,060 before we break. The Have you heard this outfit? All sides.com 2636 02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:26,250 Sounds like a rainbow news outfit to me. But they had they 2637 02:35:26,250 --> 02:35:32,760 declare now based upon Gallup polling that LGBTQ plus voters 2638 02:35:32,760 --> 02:35:38,400 will actually decide the 2024 presidential election. Because 2639 02:35:38,400 --> 02:35:42,780 over the past decade, voters identifying as LGBTQ plus have 2640 02:35:42,780 --> 02:35:48,030 more than doubled. What's more, this group is growing. The LGBTQ 2641 02:35:48,030 --> 02:35:51,480 plus demographic is now a larger voting bloc than the suburban 2642 02:35:51,480 --> 02:35:54,630 white mothers that pundits love to discuss on election night. 2643 02:35:55,440 --> 02:36:00,690 Why Wow, this is so you know, what's happening is kids are 2644 02:36:00,690 --> 02:36:06,300 afraid not to say oh, yeah, I'm queer, right? We're, they're 2645 02:36:06,300 --> 02:36:10,260 afraid to say they're straight. But if you really think the 2646 02:36:10,260 --> 02:36:12,930 Williams Institute recently noted this increase as well 2647 02:36:12,930 --> 02:36:18,090 reporting that among younger Americans 14.9% in the 18 to 24 2648 02:36:18,210 --> 02:36:26,160 and 8.8% in the 25 to 34 cohorts identify as LGBTQ plus. And what 2649 02:36:26,160 --> 02:36:31,560 does that mean? Well, now we go to Sarah, the Gentile, who says 2650 02:36:31,560 --> 02:36:33,510 Hi, Adam and John, I'm a professor at a private 2651 02:36:33,510 --> 02:36:38,100 university in the south Hello, once again, best producers in 2652 02:36:38,100 --> 02:36:43,650 the universe. I wonder she's a clinical professor, professor at 2653 02:36:43,650 --> 02:36:46,620 a private university in the south and adjunct at a big 10 2654 02:36:46,620 --> 02:36:50,250 University in the Midwest. Every spring in my big 10 appointment, 2655 02:36:50,250 --> 02:36:54,690 all faculty have to complete the title 10 And Title Nine 2656 02:36:54,690 --> 02:36:58,860 training. These are usually 45 minute training modules are 2657 02:36:58,860 --> 02:37:02,160 mandated reporting assault on campus and how we are to help 2658 02:37:02,220 --> 02:37:06,240 students experiencing students experiencing those situations 2659 02:37:06,240 --> 02:37:09,480 etc. I've completed scores of these over the years and they've 2660 02:37:09,480 --> 02:37:13,110 always been the same. The same Narrator same situation, same 2661 02:37:13,110 --> 02:37:16,830 videos this year, or this year, however, there's a notable 2662 02:37:16,830 --> 02:37:21,510 difference that gays are gone. Take, for example, this 2663 02:37:21,510 --> 02:37:25,740 statistic shared in one of the modules quote 13% of students 2664 02:37:25,740 --> 02:37:29,610 reported non consensual sexual contact by physical force or 2665 02:37:29,610 --> 02:37:33,570 inability to consent rates were significantly higher for women 2666 02:37:33,570 --> 02:37:40,080 and the T GQN. Students. This is a new acronym TGQ N, which 2667 02:37:40,080 --> 02:37:44,280 stands for transgender women transgender men, nine bit non 2668 02:37:44,280 --> 02:37:47,880 binary gender queer, gender questioning or gender not 2669 02:37:47,880 --> 02:37:53,670 listed. You guys called it months ago, the gays are gone. 2670 02:37:54,240 --> 02:37:57,690 There was no reference to lesbians or gays. They have been 2671 02:37:57,690 --> 02:38:01,140 completely erased, not one mentioned in this entire 2672 02:38:01,140 --> 02:38:04,620 training. This was not the case last spring when I had to take 2673 02:38:04,620 --> 02:38:07,680 the same training. Whatever starts in the university will 2674 02:38:07,710 --> 02:38:12,810 always trickle down and out. So expect to see T GQN. Soon 2675 02:38:12,810 --> 02:38:13,410 enough. 2676 02:38:14,730 --> 02:38:17,100 John C Dvorak: We'll keep an eye out for it. We had that clip a 2677 02:38:17,100 --> 02:38:22,860 couple of shows ago with the girl who is bitching lesbian tic 2678 02:38:22,860 --> 02:38:25,590 tock or who is bitching about what's going on? And she this 2679 02:38:25,590 --> 02:38:27,660 basically mirrors what she let 2680 02:38:27,660 --> 02:38:31,260 Adam Curry: me tell you, the gay guys I know are there. They're 2681 02:38:31,260 --> 02:38:35,580 angry about this stuff. They are pissed off. They are like this 2682 02:38:35,580 --> 02:38:41,490 is insane. And you know what? The gays can save us, the gays, 2683 02:38:41,520 --> 02:38:45,930 the gays will save us? Yes, they will. And in a rare moment of 2684 02:38:45,930 --> 02:38:49,500 camaraderie the gays and the lesbians will actually join 2685 02:38:49,500 --> 02:38:54,480 together. Which is not true that would be rare. But they've got 2686 02:38:54,480 --> 02:38:58,650 to they've got to save themselves. Unbelievable. And 2687 02:38:58,650 --> 02:39:01,320 with that happy news, I'd like to thank you for your courage 2688 02:39:01,320 --> 02:39:03,600 say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the 2689 02:39:03,600 --> 02:39:05,940 Convention of States ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend 2690 02:39:05,940 --> 02:39:07,770 on the other end the one and only Mr. John 2691 02:39:10,740 --> 02:39:12,840 John C Dvorak: Murray you Mr. Adam curry in the morning ships 2692 02:39:12,840 --> 02:39:16,230 and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and 2693 02:39:16,230 --> 02:39:18,120 the Danes and the Knights out there and 2694 02:39:18,120 --> 02:39:20,670 Adam Curry: all the gays in the morning to you Hello, trolls. 2695 02:39:20,670 --> 02:39:27,270 Hold on Hold up.

So when I tweet out the link to the show and you 2702 02:39:52,590 --> 02:39:56,520 click on that link, it brings up a list of 30 apps. And right 2703 02:39:56,520 --> 02:40:01,320 there you can choose which app you want to use Uh, yeah, this 2704 02:40:01,320 --> 02:40:04,260 is another podcasting 2.0 innovation. They just keep on 2705 02:40:04,260 --> 02:40:08,100 coming. Unbelievable. Well, it is it is because these are 2706 02:40:08,100 --> 02:40:11,910 people who care about freedom of speech, and make sure that 2707 02:40:11,910 --> 02:40:16,650 you're not stifled by Silicon Valley. But there no will be. 2708 02:40:17,250 --> 02:40:20,280 Well, we won't be. There's no way they can't. We are 2709 02:40:20,280 --> 02:40:23,730 unstoppable. Now, of course, we're poor, but we're 2710 02:40:23,730 --> 02:40:27,660 unstoppable. And we're very proud of it. Also, you get 2711 02:40:27,660 --> 02:40:31,980 updated within 90 seconds of a podcast posting its new episode, 2712 02:40:31,980 --> 02:40:35,190 certainly this one and other smart podcasts. But there's a 2713 02:40:35,190 --> 02:40:38,190 hundreds of 1000s of them who are using the new system, all 2714 02:40:38,190 --> 02:40:42,660 part of podcasting. 2.0 We are a value for value podcast, which 2715 02:40:44,580 --> 02:40:47,880 we started probably we get is going to be is going to be 17 2716 02:40:47,880 --> 02:40:49,350 years in October. Yeah. 2717 02:40:49,650 --> 02:40:52,200 John C Dvorak: Any minute. Wow. That's unbelievable. 2718 02:40:53,040 --> 02:40:54,630 Adam Curry: Hey, it isn't your birthday soon to 2719 02:40:55,170 --> 02:40:58,350 John C Dvorak: my birthday is coming up on April 5. We'll be 2720 02:40:58,350 --> 02:41:00,570 looking forward to that. And it'll be the day after the 2721 02:41:00,570 --> 02:41:01,560 wedding. Yeah, 2722 02:41:01,590 --> 02:41:03,750 Adam Curry: we're taking that with April 4, which is a 2723 02:41:03,750 --> 02:41:06,930 Thursday. Correct. It's a Thursday by Washington married 2724 02:41:06,930 --> 02:41:08,640 on Thursday, not getting married in the church. 2725 02:41:09,930 --> 02:41:11,490 John C Dvorak: They're getting married. They're getting 2726 02:41:11,610 --> 02:41:15,240 independent. Think of another Universal Life Church marriage, 2727 02:41:15,240 --> 02:41:17,130 as far as I can tell. So 2728 02:41:17,550 --> 02:41:21,180 Adam Curry: universal? Yeah, I know. I'm a minister. I'm a 2729 02:41:21,180 --> 02:41:23,760 minister, Minister, Minister of the universal and I'm a Doctor 2730 02:41:23,760 --> 02:41:27,180 of Divinity. And well, you're this boss, above boss. Always, 2731 02:41:27,240 --> 02:41:27,780 always. 2732 02:41:27,810 --> 02:41:30,300 John C Dvorak: So I do want to mention that when we get to the 2733 02:41:30,300 --> 02:41:33,450 donation segment, when I mentioned in advance, do not 2734 02:41:33,450 --> 02:41:36,600 read the first name on there and give it to me because that name 2735 02:41:36,600 --> 02:41:39,060 should be anonymous, but it's listed on there. That would be a 2736 02:41:39,060 --> 02:41:40,380 bad thing to say. We 2737 02:41:40,380 --> 02:41:43,560 Adam Curry: don't want to have anything bad happen here. So I 2738 02:41:43,560 --> 02:41:44,940 will not I will not pass 2739 02:41:44,940 --> 02:41:47,070 John C Dvorak: it to me. And I'll read from his note. I'll 2740 02:41:47,070 --> 02:41:49,980 Adam Curry: pass it to you. Let me just see. The very first one. 2741 02:41:50,010 --> 02:41:51,210 Not not Yeah, the very 2742 02:41:51,210 --> 02:41:53,340 John C Dvorak: first one, that one right at the top. Okay, I 2743 02:41:53,340 --> 02:41:54,750 want this got no note. 2744 02:41:54,870 --> 02:41:57,240 Adam Curry: Yeah, I got it. I will not mention it at all. 2745 02:41:57,960 --> 02:42:03,030 Blank it out. So value for value means that we are not part of 2746 02:42:03,030 --> 02:42:07,110 the podcast industrial complex, which is not doing so well. 2747 02:42:07,110 --> 02:42:11,130 Actually. There have been moments it has. 2748 02:42:11,130 --> 02:42:13,590 John C Dvorak: It's not today, but it has his moments. 2749 02:42:13,650 --> 02:42:16,470 Adam Curry: Well, and Bill Maher is about to make the biggest 2750 02:42:16,470 --> 02:42:22,140 mistake of his life. No, yes. He started a podcast network. Oh, 2751 02:42:22,140 --> 02:42:22,890 plea? 2752 02:42:22,890 --> 02:42:25,230 John C Dvorak: Yes. Yeah, there goes money. That's where I guess 2753 02:42:25,230 --> 02:42:27,870 he's making too much money. So throw it away. Yep. 2754 02:42:27,870 --> 02:42:30,690 Adam Curry: So it's, it's going to be the guest 2755 02:42:30,720 --> 02:42:33,780 John C Dvorak: network? Yes. If he had never heard of such a 2756 02:42:33,780 --> 02:42:34,830 thing, the club 2757 02:42:34,830 --> 02:42:40,530 Adam Curry: random studios network. And he will be hosting 2758 02:42:40,560 --> 02:42:44,340 as he seek it seeks to host podcasts built on an idea of 2759 02:42:44,460 --> 02:42:50,040 freedom of expression. Hmm. Okay. And he starting with that 2760 02:42:50,070 --> 02:42:58,290 ESPN lady. He's hired her to Sage Steele. She was for ESPN 2761 02:42:58,290 --> 02:43:02,100 Sports Center. The day after there was some free speech 2762 02:43:02,100 --> 02:43:06,630 lawsuits. I don't remember what that was about. But anyway, we 2763 02:43:06,630 --> 02:43:09,060 would be perfect for that network if we thought they would 2764 02:43:09,060 --> 02:43:13,770 work. But that they don't, then I'll tell you why. Because you 2765 02:43:13,770 --> 02:43:15,990 get into the network. And it was like, Oh, it's great. You know, 2766 02:43:15,990 --> 02:43:18,690 you're gonna get publicity and be a part of Bill Maher system. 2767 02:43:18,720 --> 02:43:21,990 Oh, great. Great, great. And then all the advertising goes to 2768 02:43:21,990 --> 02:43:26,520 Bill Maher show. Or maybe one other you know, one other one. 2769 02:43:26,970 --> 02:43:27,150 This 2770 02:43:27,150 --> 02:43:29,100 John C Dvorak: show gets popular. Yeah, this happens. 2771 02:43:29,280 --> 02:43:32,220 This happened. We've witnesses both witness why witnesses with 2772 02:43:32,220 --> 02:43:36,000 your network. You're the one that was doing a network. Even 2773 02:43:36,000 --> 02:43:39,990 though you now decry it. Yes. I also see it on Leo's network. 2774 02:43:40,020 --> 02:43:42,600 And these are networks I decry. Yours was a little more 2775 02:43:42,600 --> 02:43:43,260 aggressive to 2776 02:43:43,590 --> 02:43:46,440 Adam Curry: decry it because we raised $65 million, and nobody 2777 02:43:46,440 --> 02:43:48,360 made any money. Hello. And 2778 02:43:48,360 --> 02:43:51,120 John C Dvorak: all the way the kicker is and you probably 2779 02:43:51,150 --> 02:43:56,160 wouldn't say this as easy as I can. Every buddy complained all 2780 02:43:56,160 --> 02:43:59,820 the time now GAC am I'm not making more money, how come 2781 02:43:59,820 --> 02:44:02,940 they're emphasizing this and not that every one of you had all 2782 02:44:02,940 --> 02:44:06,870 these famous podcasters working there, and they all complained 2783 02:44:06,990 --> 02:44:10,590 and they didn't complain a little they complained all the 2784 02:44:10,590 --> 02:44:14,610 time. Yeah, and that's what Bill Maher is gonna get down. That's 2785 02:44:14,610 --> 02:44:18,600 why we had aggravating complaints. That's why you 2786 02:44:18,600 --> 02:44:21,990 Adam Curry: have a podcast relations manager the worst job 2787 02:44:21,990 --> 02:44:27,420 in the company. When Richard was his name Richard forgot the end 2788 02:44:27,420 --> 02:44:30,510 for a while that we had Aaron Aaron was running it and he gave 2789 02:44:30,510 --> 02:44:34,290 up the just like, I gotta leave this job. You couldn't pay 2790 02:44:34,290 --> 02:44:37,710 anybody enough to deal with the aggravation and the crying that 2791 02:44:37,710 --> 02:44:41,880 goes on, which is why these podcasts and eventually they 2792 02:44:41,910 --> 02:44:45,330 they unionize and then your to completely screw 2793 02:44:45,330 --> 02:44:48,510 John C Dvorak: Oh, then your host shuttered shut it shut it 2794 02:44:48,510 --> 02:44:50,010 down shutter, the ringer, 2795 02:44:50,100 --> 02:44:54,240 Adam Curry: they just unionized. The rager it's all over. It 2796 02:44:54,240 --> 02:44:57,480 doesn't work. You cannot monetize the network. Just take 2797 02:44:57,480 --> 02:45:01,980 it from me. Spotify spent $2 billion so Oh, we didn't get any 2798 02:45:01,980 --> 02:45:04,950 of that goodness. Of course. I mean, we should have honestly we 2799 02:45:04,950 --> 02:45:08,040 somebody should have at least hired us for a couple mil and 2800 02:45:08,040 --> 02:45:11,880 then fired us. But no, no. You know why? Because we speak 2801 02:45:11,880 --> 02:45:16,380 truth. Truth to Power. That's why are we speaking truth to 2802 02:45:16,380 --> 02:45:16,950 power? Joe? 2803 02:45:18,210 --> 02:45:19,830 John C Dvorak: I don't know how much power is listening to the 2804 02:45:19,830 --> 02:45:22,050 show, but we're speaking to somebody. 2805 02:45:23,970 --> 02:45:25,800 Adam Curry: somebody's out there. Oh, they're speaking 2806 02:45:25,800 --> 02:45:29,400 truth to me. All right. So instead, we opted for the value 2807 02:45:29,400 --> 02:45:32,100 for value model, which is actually it's pretty good. If 2808 02:45:32,100 --> 02:45:37,470 you can keep your costs low. IE, we don't have Neumann mics. Now. 2809 02:45:37,500 --> 02:45:43,710 We run the whole thing on a $500 rode rode mixer. Mic and that 2810 02:45:43,710 --> 02:45:46,350 little b. What's that? Beelink computer. 2811 02:45:47,730 --> 02:45:52,020 John C Dvorak: I didn't know I use a NOC. We run a we run this 2812 02:45:52,020 --> 02:45:53,730 thing on the Intel NIC an old 2813 02:45:53,730 --> 02:45:56,940 Adam Curry: one. We run this on a Beelink and NOC and a $500. 2814 02:45:56,940 --> 02:45:58,350 Road mixer. Okay. 2815 02:45:58,350 --> 02:46:00,540 John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's a scarlet. 2816 02:46:02,370 --> 02:46:04,830 Adam Curry: That's where we run this thing on and I got a couple 2817 02:46:04,860 --> 02:46:08,520 panels on the wall. All right. That's how we run it. And 2818 02:46:08,520 --> 02:46:11,790 luckily, we have people who provide value back to us when 2819 02:46:11,790 --> 02:46:14,700 they say you know, I got some value from the show. I laughed. 2820 02:46:14,700 --> 02:46:18,180 I cried. I got mad. I learned something I got it. I learned 2821 02:46:18,180 --> 02:46:20,550 something about the markets. I could make some money there. 2822 02:46:21,120 --> 02:46:27,540 Save my life. Hello COVID Lots of stuff because you back time, 2823 02:46:27,540 --> 02:46:31,350 talent or treasure? All three of them are valid. So we have 2824 02:46:31,350 --> 02:46:34,200 people running servers people do you know what people doing art 2825 02:46:34,200 --> 02:46:37,110 for us? Let's talk about that for a second. We have artists 2826 02:46:37,110 --> 02:46:42,390 who continuously love to make artwork. While we're doing the 2827 02:46:42,390 --> 02:46:47,280 show live this it really is one of the coolest things. And 2828 02:46:47,280 --> 02:46:49,650 actually I was on Oh, you're gonna get asked I was on the 2829 02:46:49,650 --> 02:46:53,700 union of the unwanted you have to go on the show. Have you 2830 02:46:53,700 --> 02:46:54,930 heard of this podcast but 2831 02:46:54,930 --> 02:46:57,450 John C Dvorak: it's a union of the my unwanted but you unwanted 2832 02:46:57,480 --> 02:46:58,740 who's unwanted? Well, that's 2833 02:46:58,740 --> 02:47:00,840 Adam Curry: why I always was against this show. And I don't 2834 02:47:00,840 --> 02:47:03,390 want to I'm not unwanted. I'm very wanted. I'm loved. 2835 02:47:03,840 --> 02:47:05,580 John C Dvorak: Yeah, we want you however 2836 02:47:05,610 --> 02:47:09,210 Adam Curry: this is. This is an essence. It's a zoom call with 2837 02:47:09,210 --> 02:47:13,950 like 12 or 13 people. And they all and they all have podcasts, 2838 02:47:13,980 --> 02:47:17,370 Sam Tripoli, they remember the guy who I called the the 2839 02:47:17,370 --> 02:47:21,300 sidekick. And then people like, I'm not donating because yeah, I 2840 02:47:21,300 --> 02:47:25,230 got the same name of the podcasters. By the way, Sam and 2841 02:47:25,230 --> 02:47:29,460 Adam. were texting all the time. Now. We're buds. You guys should 2842 02:47:29,460 --> 02:47:32,340 be buds. Graham was on there from Green 2843 02:47:33,090 --> 02:47:36,510 John C Dvorak: is angling for my job. Let's face it. Who? Sam? 2844 02:47:36,930 --> 02:47:38,370 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's 2845 02:47:38,370 --> 02:47:41,940 Adam Curry: an interesting idea. I like that. I like that. Oh. 2846 02:47:44,520 --> 02:47:48,660 John, I said on the show, I said without John or without Adam. 2847 02:47:48,660 --> 02:47:51,750 There is no agenda. It's just there is no one. There's no no 2848 02:47:52,260 --> 02:47:56,160 one. I know that this. Without either one of us. The show 2849 02:47:56,160 --> 02:47:58,860 doesn't work. It would just have to end so Don't die on me yet. 2850 02:47:58,860 --> 02:48:03,030 Oh, man. And I'll do the same. Because there's a lot of a lot 2851 02:48:03,030 --> 02:48:06,960 of show left in us until 2028 Then, then we definitely have to 2852 02:48:06,960 --> 02:48:07,890 anyway, we 2853 02:48:07,890 --> 02:48:10,470 John C Dvorak: can go off our merry ways. And our publishing 2854 02:48:10,470 --> 02:48:13,110 company running. Well by then we have a Kindle. 2855 02:48:15,840 --> 02:48:20,160 Adam Curry: I mean, what else? What more do you need? I don't 2856 02:48:20,160 --> 02:48:22,470 know what I'm gonna do. But yeah, here we go. What should I 2857 02:48:22,470 --> 02:48:22,830 do 2858 02:48:22,830 --> 02:48:24,660 John C Dvorak: here and you get plenty ideas. 2859 02:48:25,410 --> 02:48:27,570 Adam Curry: But none of them make money. That's the problem. 2860 02:48:28,050 --> 02:48:31,350 Podcasting is demonetised podcasting. 2.0 is great, but 2861 02:48:31,350 --> 02:48:36,030 it's zero money. It's just it's for legacy for the children. 2862 02:48:36,030 --> 02:48:39,780 That's the only reason I do it. Anyway. These guys, all of them 2863 02:48:39,780 --> 02:48:43,020 have their own podcast like the Liberty lockdown. I mean, it's 2864 02:48:43,020 --> 02:48:48,930 all great podcast. And they all listen to no agenda. They love 2865 02:48:48,930 --> 02:48:52,800 us. They love you, and they want to have you on the show. And I 2866 02:48:52,800 --> 02:48:56,400 would I would recommend you do it. I could do that show. Sure. 2867 02:48:56,430 --> 02:49:00,870 I think you'll really enjoy it. I had a good time. I wasn't sure 2868 02:49:00,870 --> 02:49:04,680 what to expect and had a good time. Anyway, back to a value 2869 02:49:04,680 --> 02:49:08,640 for value we want. Many of them use value for value. They love 2870 02:49:08,640 --> 02:49:12,120 it. Yeah, well, they should guess. And then they also 2871 02:49:12,120 --> 02:49:14,460 they're all poor. But they love 2872 02:49:14,460 --> 02:49:17,250 John C Dvorak: that. Well, it's because sometimes the email goes 2873 02:49:17,250 --> 02:49:17,820 astray. 2874 02:49:19,230 --> 02:49:21,330 Adam Curry: People have to say the email was really important. 2875 02:49:21,330 --> 02:49:24,180 There's so many podcasts and things you can pay attention to. 2876 02:49:24,180 --> 02:49:27,900 I mean, when when did he is in your algo. Sometimes people 2877 02:49:27,900 --> 02:49:30,630 forget we have a podcast and we need to be supported and then 2878 02:49:30,630 --> 02:49:35,100 when the algos because that's what it is. Just oh he used the 2879 02:49:35,100 --> 02:49:40,380 word killing. Well throw that to junk. Get rid of that and 2880 02:49:40,380 --> 02:49:41,730 probably went to promotions which 2881 02:49:41,730 --> 02:49:43,980 John C Dvorak: is even funner funny episode went to promotions 2882 02:49:43,980 --> 02:49:44,790 that shouldn't have. 2883 02:49:45,810 --> 02:49:48,690 Adam Curry: We want to thank Darren, who provides a lot of 2884 02:49:48,690 --> 02:49:52,170 our standby this but a lot of time and talent that Darren 2885 02:49:52,200 --> 02:49:55,170 provides to the show. He does the rock world pre show before 2886 02:49:55,170 --> 02:49:58,830 every single Thursday in Sunday's broadcast. And prize 2887 02:49:58,830 --> 02:50:00,630 John C Dvorak: you didn't say that the Korean Devorah in the 2888 02:50:00,630 --> 02:50:02,190 corner there was too small. 2889 02:50:03,120 --> 02:50:05,940 Adam Curry: It was we talked about this for quite a while. We 2890 02:50:05,940 --> 02:50:06,120 didn't 2891 02:50:06,120 --> 02:50:08,550 John C Dvorak: talk about that you never mentioned it. Okay, 2892 02:50:08,670 --> 02:50:11,220 you give Darren a lot of leeway. 2893 02:50:11,910 --> 02:50:15,690 Adam Curry: These Darren O'Neal you know, his music tastes sucks 2894 02:50:15,690 --> 02:50:21,660 but Darren is a good guy. Now okay, so we chose Darren ISIS K 2895 02:50:22,470 --> 02:50:24,600 with the only thing I didn't like about it was the hand 2896 02:50:24,600 --> 02:50:25,110 grenade I 2897 02:50:25,110 --> 02:50:27,000 John C Dvorak: was more disturbing like I didn't mind 2898 02:50:27,000 --> 02:50:29,550 the hand grenade at all is ISIS k which is like a 2899 02:50:29,550 --> 02:50:33,330 Adam Curry: Special K packaging classic. No agenda, spoof art. 2900 02:50:33,330 --> 02:50:38,430 We love those 33% More psyops works for me and then the hand 2901 02:50:38,430 --> 02:50:44,400 grenade Now, other things that we looked at. I really, I really 2902 02:50:44,400 --> 02:50:47,070 liked Scarah mangas meat food. 2903 02:50:47,310 --> 02:50:49,920 John C Dvorak: Yeah, I liked it too. But it was again it was it 2904 02:50:49,920 --> 02:50:51,540 was time it was way too small. It 2905 02:50:51,540 --> 02:50:53,820 Adam Curry: was too small and then as you imbuing into it you 2906 02:50:53,820 --> 02:50:57,210 see like some Chinese some Asian cook Yeah, but it turned out 2907 02:50:57,210 --> 02:50:58,350 John C Dvorak: to be racist. Yeah, it 2908 02:50:58,350 --> 02:51:02,580 Adam Curry: says really good. We were okay with the racism 2909 02:51:02,580 --> 02:51:05,340 actually, but you couldn't read it from afar and was newcomer 2910 02:51:05,340 --> 02:51:05,670 food 2911 02:51:05,730 --> 02:51:08,490 John C Dvorak: well, we weren't that good with it. We always 2912 02:51:08,490 --> 02:51:15,090 picked it no he said no one had gone with Rarey good sunshine 2913 02:51:15,090 --> 02:51:19,020 laughing Chinese guy I'm sorry Should I have put it properly a 2914 02:51:19,020 --> 02:51:23,970 laughing Chinaman still gonna work I'm still laughing when I 2915 02:51:23,970 --> 02:51:27,030 see it and like it was good. It's very funny to look at 2916 02:51:27,060 --> 02:51:32,400 Adam Curry: we also we looked at networks Toshiba laptop, which 2917 02:51:32,400 --> 02:51:36,210 was it was in the running for sure. And honestly, I think that 2918 02:51:36,240 --> 02:51:39,870 the the I actually use that for the pre stream art this morning 2919 02:51:39,870 --> 02:51:43,560 people stopped making pre stream art. They used to do cool art 2920 02:51:43,560 --> 02:51:48,960 for me to post when when we go live and they stopped doing that 2921 02:51:48,960 --> 02:51:50,400 for some reason. Well, I 2922 02:51:50,400 --> 02:51:52,980 John C Dvorak: did use I will say yeah, I know where they 2923 02:51:52,980 --> 02:51:57,990 used. I used I will I use the most compelling piece that was 2924 02:51:57,990 --> 02:52:02,430 on here which was an AI generated art piece of but it's 2925 02:52:02,430 --> 02:52:06,180 a girl who is she's the kind of woman that does exist in the 2926 02:52:06,180 --> 02:52:09,810 real world I would have nothing to do with anybody who does this 2927 02:52:09,810 --> 02:52:14,670 show or listen to this show. You can just tell and comic strip 2928 02:52:14,670 --> 02:52:18,660 blogger did it and he needs to get some he's gotten it down 2929 02:52:18,660 --> 02:52:22,320 pretty well to create this this sort of thing. These the buttons 2930 02:52:22,320 --> 02:52:23,340 didn't help either. 2931 02:52:23,640 --> 02:52:27,000 Adam Curry: Comic Strip but no, it did not. That's there's 2932 02:52:27,000 --> 02:52:29,940 another reason why the newsletter got sent to spam. 2933 02:52:30,150 --> 02:52:32,790 This blatant sexual. That 2934 02:52:32,790 --> 02:52:34,770 John C Dvorak: was not in the newsletter. It was just in the 2935 02:52:34,770 --> 02:52:36,090 post. Okay. 2936 02:52:37,170 --> 02:52:39,540 Adam Curry: Well still still do better. 2937 02:52:39,660 --> 02:52:40,470 John C Dvorak: Are you making it up? 2938 02:52:42,090 --> 02:52:46,500 Adam Curry: What else was there? Behind whale poop stuff? 2939 02:52:47,010 --> 02:52:47,970 Unknown: There? 2940 02:52:48,300 --> 02:52:51,810 Adam Curry: I don't know why. fat lady all of a sudden some AI 2941 02:52:51,810 --> 02:52:52,740 fat is not 2942 02:52:52,740 --> 02:52:55,410 John C Dvorak: fat. She's not found that was, you know what a 2943 02:52:55,410 --> 02:52:58,200 fat lady looks is that's not what we're thinking about. Very, 2944 02:52:58,290 --> 02:53:02,700 very little. Very odd. Basically, you know, five pounds 2945 02:53:02,700 --> 02:53:03,420 overweight is 2946 02:53:03,660 --> 02:53:06,750 Adam Curry: bad. And I don't think anything else really did. 2947 02:53:06,780 --> 02:53:08,640 John C Dvorak: Now. I think that cut well, we 2948 02:53:08,640 --> 02:53:12,120 Adam Curry: did talk a bit about the no agenda racing team car 2949 02:53:12,120 --> 02:53:15,690 battery. Talked about that. But that really didn't. 2950 02:53:15,720 --> 02:53:19,980 John C Dvorak: Yeah, it wasn't compelling. Yes, workss networks 2951 02:53:19,980 --> 02:53:21,750 is on a downward spiral. 2952 02:53:23,850 --> 02:53:27,390 Adam Curry: Tina just texted me. She's in a dress in a gown and 2953 02:53:27,390 --> 02:53:31,920 she says I'm ready to meet Trump. She's at Mar a Lago 2954 02:53:31,920 --> 02:53:32,820 tonight. You 2955 02:53:32,820 --> 02:53:35,880 John C Dvorak: know, Trump is in New York at the at the cops 2956 02:53:35,880 --> 02:53:39,330 funeral. Now I know he's not there. So he's not going to be 2957 02:53:39,330 --> 02:53:43,230 at Mara Lago A. And meanwhile, cop. Trump is going to the cops 2958 02:53:43,230 --> 02:53:48,120 funeral and Biden is going to a donation fundraiser. A 2959 02:53:48,120 --> 02:53:52,590 fundraiser he's not even to see the dead policeman. And it's and 2960 02:53:52,590 --> 02:53:55,050 I got a number. Anyway, I got a number out of this. I got a 2961 02:53:55,050 --> 02:53:57,540 couple of numbers. Rhonda McDaniel is going to be paid 2962 02:53:57,540 --> 02:54:05,490 $300,000. That was her fee for MSNBC. But for $100,000 at the 2963 02:54:05,490 --> 02:54:10,260 fundraiser, you can get your picture taken with Biden, Obama 2964 02:54:10,320 --> 02:54:12,990 and Clinton in the same shot. So they're going to set up a photo 2965 02:54:12,990 --> 02:54:16,710 booth. The three of you will be there you go in $100,000. Check. 2966 02:54:16,710 --> 02:54:19,080 Boom. Here's a picture taken or if anyone sees one of those 2967 02:54:19,080 --> 02:54:23,670 pictures on the wall somewhere. That guy's an idiot.

And it's not too long and 3143 03:05:42,090 --> 03:05:44,670 it's not too crazy, but we pretty much read them all. 3144 03:05:45,000 --> 03:05:48,120 Anything under that we pick and choose where we can depends on 3145 03:05:48,120 --> 03:05:50,910 time depends on what the note is. But if you really want to 3146 03:05:50,910 --> 03:05:53,610 have it read 200. Above is where you go for your executive and 3147 03:05:53,610 --> 03:05:56,280 Associate Executive Producer status, which are real credits. 3148 03:05:56,550 --> 03:06:00,990 Go ahead, ask Dana Brunetti producer, Bob GranTurismo. 3149 03:06:01,110 --> 03:06:04,590 Should have been an Osprey when you saw that movie. I am too. I 3150 03:06:04,590 --> 03:06:08,280 loved that movie. I sat there and I said Phoebe. That was a 3151 03:06:08,280 --> 03:06:11,280 great movie. Phoebe's like Ray 3152 03:06:11,310 --> 03:06:13,500 John C Dvorak: was watching the movie with you. Oh, yeah. Oh, 3153 03:06:13,500 --> 03:06:18,090 yeah. She loves Dino dog. I had to mention this. Dogs can see 3154 03:06:18,360 --> 03:06:21,240 LCD screens. They never could see a television 3155 03:06:21,240 --> 03:06:23,100 Adam Curry: set. That's right. They'll see these screens man 3156 03:06:23,100 --> 03:06:24,420 all the difference in the dog's life 3157 03:06:24,450 --> 03:06:27,510 John C Dvorak: when the doing dog shows seeing cats too. So 3158 03:06:27,510 --> 03:06:30,360 dog story watch so dogs watch TV now. 3159 03:06:30,390 --> 03:06:35,340 Adam Curry: I know. I know. It's great. She loves it. But I just 3160 03:06:35,370 --> 03:06:37,980 especially loved like the when they show the inside of the 3161 03:06:37,980 --> 03:06:39,840 cylinders firing and 3162 03:06:41,100 --> 03:06:43,380 John C Dvorak: the movie it does special effects and everything 3163 03:06:43,380 --> 03:06:46,860 that but that movie was so well produced and well done. Well 3164 03:06:46,860 --> 03:06:51,240 shot the guy you know it got it. I think it paid out. But it was 3165 03:06:51,240 --> 03:06:51,990 like, you know, 3166 03:06:52,020 --> 03:06:54,120 Adam Curry: oh no, they made bank upfront. It was one big 3167 03:06:54,120 --> 03:06:59,850 commercial. Oh, yes, there is no dummies like, Hey, by the way, 3168 03:06:59,850 --> 03:07:02,220 for all you're gonna pay me in advance, I'll do anything for 3169 03:07:02,220 --> 03:07:05,430 all the crap I gave him about 50 Shades of Grey. This really 3170 03:07:05,430 --> 03:07:09,990 makes up for it. Not in money, but it makes up for it. Anyway, 3171 03:07:11,040 --> 03:07:13,920 we don't read anything under 50 Because people there like to 3172 03:07:13,920 --> 03:07:17,490 stay anonymous. So 4999 is always good. Don't add any fees 3173 03:07:17,490 --> 03:07:20,040 because that will put it up over the 50 and then we might make a 3174 03:07:20,040 --> 03:07:23,460 mistake. And of course we want to thank everybody. And if 3175 03:07:23,460 --> 03:07:26,220 everybody did this, it would be great if you just take out a 3176 03:07:26,220 --> 03:07:29,280 sustaining donation which is some kind of regular thing that 3177 03:07:29,280 --> 03:07:32,910 you automatically have paid and it can be anything you want. If 3178 03:07:32,910 --> 03:07:36,690 everybody did that, we'd be in fat city instead. Here we are. 3179 03:07:37,020 --> 03:07:38,940 That would be the day shortlist 3180 03:07:39,570 --> 03:07:42,690 John C Dvorak: keep to idealize the whole situation and think 3181 03:07:42,690 --> 03:07:45,990 they can do exactly what you described. Was that oh, you know 3182 03:07:45,990 --> 03:07:50,100 if I got like $500 like No, I only need like 10,000 people to 3183 03:07:50,100 --> 03:07:53,910 listen to the podcast. And if I charge them each 10 bucks a 3184 03:07:53,910 --> 03:07:57,210 month. Oh yeah, that's perfect. Because at 10 bucks a month that 3185 03:07:57,210 --> 03:08:00,840 means that's like over $100 million a year I'll make a 3186 03:08:00,840 --> 03:08:04,260 million to a year with 10,000 listeners 3187 03:08:04,290 --> 03:08:06,210 Adam Curry: Yeah, that's how they always started.
