Adam Curry: Year Award winning give me the assassination
episode 1657
Unknown: This is no agenda enjoying
Adam Curry: a classic clothesline and broadcasting
live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here theories and
numbers six and the Morning everybody hurry in
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all
saying don't shoot your dog on Josie Devorah
Adam Curry: was didn't make it through. I had no idea. I've
been good all morning. And
John C Dvorak: then oh, yeah, now getting the histamine up and
you're going to be coughing all show. Oh,
Adam Curry: it was bad yesterday. Yes. It's all of a
sudden we got
John C Dvorak: I thought you had a heap as all over the place
that prevent that problem. No,
Adam Curry: that would that was in the old house. Gotcha.
John C Dvorak: Well, it looks like you need to move him over
to the new house. Yeah.
Adam Curry: It's crazy. You know, we This is unheard of this
global warming is climate change is great, because it's been 70
degrees for most of the week, which and but wet and raining,
which we obviously needed to that's all good. And something
happened and just a cycle.
John C Dvorak: Everything popped at once. Ah. And we
Adam Curry: also have this invasion of caterpillars.
John C Dvorak: The biting type No, no, no, the
Adam Curry: big thick black ones. They're just everywhere.
It's incredible. And in the end, they don't sprout. They don't
turn into butterflies. It turned into moths which is interesting
because when you have cedars spraying everywhere you think
that that would kill off the moths. But no, yes. Yes. No,
it's not. I have a
John C Dvorak: closet that cedar line just for that purpose.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: And what do you have in that closet? Your let me get
your tuxedo collection.
John C Dvorak: I have the tuxedo collection and other rules.
Adam Curry: Since you brought it up. I I'm amazed by the outrage
over Kristi Noem killing her dog cricket.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think I got an earful from Mimi. Oh,
really? Who owns a kennel right ad? Yeah, so she's a dog
protector of dogs. She is horrible. This woman isn't I
said everybody's missing the point about this. Everybody I
think you probably do. Well,
Adam Curry: how about this? How about I play a clip and then
you'll tell us what point we're missing. And then I'll give you
my opinion. All sides
Unknown: of the aisle do not agree on much right now. But may
have been united in outrage over South Dakota's Governor Christie
knows on fashion that she shot her 14 month old puppy dog puppy
because she couldn't change kill it. But she says it killed a
neighbor's chickens. She defended herself though she
claimed that it was tough decisions like this. That
happened on farms all the time. And that she followed the law
and was being a responsible parent. dog owner and neighbor.
Nah. Which part was the parenting part? I'm keeping this
to myself. I'm gonna let y'all talk. What is your opinion on
such things? I start with you with the baby doll
literally who's just over 14. But yeah, this is a puppy. If
your dog is acting wrongly, it's because you were incompetent at
training that dog and I grew up we have big dogs. Chicken and
the dog did once get a chicken. Whose fault was it? Mine for not
having the dog somewhere where he couldn't get the chickens but
then what do you do you train them? And by the way, if you
have a really challenging dog, there are countless
organizations to rehome them to somebody who loves the dog
enough.
Am I want justice for cricket. This is
terrible. It's a terrible thing just
to name was was cricket. You know a sign of a sociopath is
someone that kills animals. No, I'm not a clinician.
No. But she killed her. Yes, for sure. All right. All right. So
Adam Curry: I'd love to hear your view on this. This is an
important news breaking breaking.
John C Dvorak: My view on this is that I'm not even sure this
happened. I think Christie gnome has to do something because she
does not want to be the vice presidential choice and she's at
the top of the list this did it. This took her off the list. Oh
good. Without having to say no.
Adam Curry: Interesting Why would she not want to further
her career into in the Oval
John C Dvorak: tightly named friends who said look what
happens all these people get associated with Trump at that
level? It's it's trouble. I mean, it may be great You know
but then again it's you're gonna be in the middle of this and
that no get out of this any way you can. But she didn't want to
get out of it by saying no and then being on Trump's bad side
she's gonna say I killed dogs I shoot them all okay, well we
can't pick her
Adam Curry: oh well that's very interesting very no agenda take
of you there i like i like this Well, I personally think that
she should just say this was puppy health care. I mean,
that's what she should call it because you know, I love the
outrage over some some woman shooting her dog because
whatever but now Hey, just suck out those feeders. There's no
problem that's healthcare please the hypocrisy is crazy that's
crazy the hypocrisy Give me a break. Hey man that my favorite
video of this week I don't know if you saw this. Were those I
guess?
John C Dvorak: Oh, I already you said proceed. Okay, you it's not
going to be what I guess. What were you going to guess? The
liberal filter? Have you seen that one?
Adam Curry: No. What is the No I have not seen the live stop
that's a video that's how
John C Dvorak: does not the last person who retweeted which will
be the easiest to find is the lives of tick tock has it
somewhere okay, what is hilarious? What is it? It turns
your picture into a U turn into a liberal I have
Adam Curry: seen this Yes. No. That's not what I was going to
say. No, I love that that protester the you know the kid
who has like a bike helmet on and he has a sheer hurting me.
Well, he has he has a shield made out of half a garbage can
and you rollin know that one? Towards the cops and the cops
just clotheslines. Just like it's like I feel bad watching it
over and over and over again. But it was so funny. To so full.
You
John C Dvorak: know, this is from when I saw the kids with
the half garbage can run in at the cops. It's like LARPing is
it? What are you doing exactly what I was thinking I was just
gonna say that it's LARPing at its highest level is amazing.
I'm a knight in shining armor.
Adam Curry: I mean, the derangement of some of these
kids and of course they're just kids. I mean, what are you gonna
do? They're all young people's did just that dumb sometimes.
But the drains, sometimes they're dumb. Sometimes the
derangement that they know that they've lost so much respect for
law enforcement and police they don't even think it's what do
you think it is like a cartoon? Like this cop is not going to
bust your head like, come on.
John C Dvorak: It charging good cop with a garbage can shield.
Adam Curry: A bike helmet. That was the best. So yeah, so then
my second favorite video, who would have ever expected the
frat boys, the frat boys to be protecting the flag?
John C Dvorak: I mean, yeah, this new trend. I
Adam Curry: like it. I think this is this is interesting to
see how we have within these in these camps, and these, of
course, are privileged boys. They're all privileged kids.
This is Ole Miss.
Unknown: Gov Tate. Reeves also posted a video showing counter
protests or singing the Star Spangled Banner in front of
Palestinian protesters.
surprised they weren't singing Dixie instead? Because you know
they must be racist Governor reads the counter protests.
Adam Curry: She is unbelievable. She isn't you can't even have
respect for the Star Spangled Banner anymore.
John C Dvorak: Not from her. He's gotta go. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Now well, she will eventually I mean the MO
prophecy will come true. It'll happen and will happen they're
all going to go all the DEI higher here you
John C Dvorak: all stuffed up. I am funny. It's not you're going
to use you plowed through the worst case of the flu. You'd be
on the air. You sound fine.
Adam Curry: I'm still on the air. It's just this whenever I
whenever I project, then it just locks up. It's funny. I'm
locking up, man. I don't know what to say. I'm locking up. I'm
locking up that I'm glad you think it's funny while I go
through this.
John C Dvorak: I've never you witnessed this before? Yes,
Adam Curry: yes. Yes. Um, let me say I have a stay on these
protests because they are rather interesting. Here's something
that it kind of hit me this morning about the Google
protests First, I have a feeling while you listen to this. This
is from I don't
John C Dvorak: use this from a while back, isn't it? There's no
new Google protests mod
Adam Curry: still ongoing, still ongoing. There. It's not over.
John C Dvorak: Yes, it'll continue until the ceasefire.
We'll get to that to the
Unknown: rising. A recent article in the intercept reveals
that Google and Amazon provide cloud computing support to the
Israeli military under what is called Project Nimbus, a
contract worth $1.2 billion. The Intercept reviewed a 63 page
Israeli Government Procurement procurement document, which
showed that Amazon and Google support two of the nation's
leading weapon makers that manufacture drones, missiles,
and other weapons used in the war against Hamas.
John C Dvorak: Stop Stop, stop, stop. I want to take a kind of a
look at the terminology being used here. Google's not
supporting them, they're supporting Google. It's the
other way around. They're are they giving the services away
for free? Is that in the document date? No. They're
getting paid to how is that support? I don't get it.
Adam Curry: Okay, I'll tell you my first thought when I was
about this far in the clip as well I'm like, this is coming
from some other company making Google look bad. Okay,
John C Dvorak: now you can play there I'm sorry I run outside
okay, it's this terminology that they're supporting this when
it's the other way around is annoying. It's as though because
I went to bought some groceries at a local store that the
grocery store supporting me is they're not supporting me I'm
buying groceries from them it's
Adam Curry: possible that they have a value for value model a
Google Play
John C Dvorak: will you wrote that's a real possibility.
Adam Curry: Hey, hey Israel. How about we just give you this
project Nimbus. If you feel like it, donate something to us, give
us some time, talent or treasure? It was possible
Unknown: that other obligatory Cloud customers includes the
blank Bank of Israel, Israel Airport Authority, and a quasi
governmental body tasked with expanding Israel settlements in
the West Bank shocking. In the last two months, multiple Google
employees got fired and arrested after protesting against project
Nimbus, Google spokes person and a qual check and a statement to
the intercept said quote, this work is not directed at highly
sensitive classified or military workloads relevant to weapons or
intelligence service. We don't kill people this across Google,
we've also been clear that we will not design or deploy AI
applications as weapons or weapons systems, or for mass
surveillance on quote, earlier intercept reported Israel's use
of Google Photos to implement a facial recognition dragnet
across Gaza Strip to scan ordinary Palestinians as they
attempt to flee the ongoing bombardment. Okay, a
Adam Curry: couple things about this one. Oh, wow. Well,
John C Dvorak: first of all, I mean, before you go to your
couple of things, what do they have cameras in the middle of
the rubble? Are you kidding me?
Adam Curry: Know what, I love the outrage over this while in
America, the TSA has just started scanning everybody
without you know, without any just like, hey, we're doing this
now. We're just doing facial recognition. Everyone's like,
oh,
Unknown: guy, but But Israel Gaza.
Adam Curry: Second of all, why I want to see all these people
divest from Google and Amazon. No more shopping. No more Gmail,
no. Dogs. Where's that? Where's that? Come on. This is cheap.
Diving.
Unknown: Back in 2019, there was noticeably a lot less outrage
when it was reported that Google and its parent company Alphabet
were working in ways that were benefiting the Chinese military,
specifically for the purposes of them tracking the Uighur
population, as well as the Hong Kong protesters who were
protesting for their freedom they are using but the yellow
people we don't care about them similar services in order to
crack down on protesters there in order to track people who
they wanted to put in concentration camps. But yet, at
the same time is grateful so that it was no longer going to
buy for a $10 billion US government contract with its
military saying that what the US military was doing was against
its values. And so I'm very confused. Google's values
supposedly are when they seemingly have no problem
benefiting foreign governments, whether US allies or not, but
they won't even work with the US government. Why are they here?
Are they an American company? Do they consider
John C Dvorak: we can stop this use your head? No, you can keep
playing it. I like it, but I want to know what it is. I don't
recall what did you preface it with who was this rising? This
Adam Curry: is the rising the roll, no
John C Dvorak: rise rising.
Adam Curry: I preface it. You didn't hear it but yes, there
was probably zoning. This was yeah, she should be fired
because she's about to drop young,
John C Dvorak: young black girl.
Unknown: I don't think so of men. So why are they based here?
Are they?
John C Dvorak: young black girl doesn't sound black. She just I
don't think that's her. I
Adam Curry: don't think that's fair. I'm not sure I didn't clip
this because I
John C Dvorak: noticed that she can. She's really poor. She
drops. She has some prompter issues as she's reading away and
is a very this woman has the same balm
Adam Curry: done with her. I don't care black or white. She's
not she's off the show.
John C Dvorak: It's been eliminated from the shouldn't be
off the show is what be?
Adam Curry: Well, let's now let's look at the endowment.
This is it's all fascinating, because it's not really about
killing people. It's not about genocide. No, it's about money,
money, money, money, money. Here's a Meet the Press,
Unknown: you hear a lot of these protesters demanding divestment.
But they also will often say disclose first. And the reason
why is because we just don't have a lot of transparency into
what is in the school endowment. So again, part of this is the
broader strategy among pro Palestinian protesters to
boycott, divest, and sanction businesses that have ties to
Israel now divest is the big conversation on college
campuses, where you have these universities with, in many
cases, multibillion dollar endowments that they use to
invest in companies. So how much of those invest? I'm so
Adam Curry: confused, that we just gloss over this. Why aren't
they giving away free education? The cup meal billions of
dollars, and they're investing in the stock?
John C Dvorak: The wrong guy here
Unknown: are going into businesses that have ties to
Israel. Well, let's take a look at some of the this is
Adam Curry: why Eisenhower said the military or you didn't say
it, but it was in his original speech. Yep, I have to be right
there military industry, the military, academic industrial
complex.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he had academic in there originally.
And
Adam Curry: then someone took it out and said, Hey, see this
picture?
Unknown: In your mouth, those investments are going into
businesses that have ties to Israel. Well, let's take a look
at some of the requirements for how they have to disclose any
sort of holdings. There's a form 990 with the IRS that's reported
annually. This gives you the broad mix of stocks versus bonds
that a university will be holding it in endowment, but the
detail on specific stocks that are being held comes from a 13 F
filed with the SEC. The problem, though, is that that doesn't
really cover the entire scope of the endowment, which in many
cases, as I mentioned, can be in the billions of dollars, which
means it's largely up to the universities on a voluntary
basis to disclose in their annual reports. What's actually
in there. I
Adam Curry: think we should crack this open. We should know
what these universities are doing it all this money and how
does it benefit the children? Well, it's not obviously because
they're retarded. The stuff they're doing, like, oh,
billions of dollars and endowments, trashcan, man, come
on. This is crazy.
Unknown: Man and Ryan, I'll give you an example of one
university. Again, Columbia University getting a lot of
scrutiny over all this when you look at the endowment. We're
talking about a university that has $13.6 billion in endowment
funds. We talked about that. I
Adam Curry: mean, how many children can you educate from
that money? 13.6 That's a lot of billions 13
Unknown: app that discloses how many securities and how many
types of companies are investing in, it covers only 68 million
with an M, which means that the number of stocks that you know,
Columbia has invested in through their endowment. It's only about
point 5% So 99.5% of the endowment funds. We don't know
about we don't know if they are or aren't in any sort of
companies that have attachments to Israel. So that's where
protesters asking for they're asking for more disclosure of
the nature of those investments before they then ask them to
divest from those funds but the status quo there's not a lot of
transparency into these endowments right okay.
Adam Curry: So so their protests are this whole BDS boycott
divest and sanction has been based on stuff they don't even
know this we know it we know your hide and secret secret Did
you payments we know it? What if it is this? They don't even know
this? No one seems to know. No. Oh, I find this highly highly
irregular suspicious, suspicious and then so now when you think
about it, if it's all about hey, you're giving money to these
Israeli companies, then isn't it interesting
John C Dvorak: when you know you're not give it Okay, first
of all, it's okay. I'd help these I've helped me about
terms. I helped me out you're not giving money to Israeli
companies. You're investing Oh, invest usually open markets,
stock market stuff investing.
Adam Curry: That's a good point. And give me a giveaway. It's not
a gimme. Okay, you're investing Good point. Because that's what
a school should do. A school should be there to make money
for itself. Today.
John C Dvorak: I am all for I'm with you on this this thesis.
harvest numbers are unbelievable. All these big
universities have these large endowment usually they by
soaking the alumni they call the alumni up constantly. I used to
get called all the time from Cow, except once I told them one
thing, and that was I got put on the blacklist. I haven't been
called for years. What did you tell them? I said, you know, I
noticed that last year you guys gave a Brock Obama campaign a
million dollars of this sort of money. Why am I giving you money
so I can go to brocco bomb, I don't support the guy. And that
never got called off
Adam Curry: the list. off the list. Did you get to TP during
during how?
John C Dvorak: Pretty bad but when? When
Adam Curry: you think about what's about yesterday, so
clearly there's the protesters want to hurt the companies that
are being invested in? Doesn't if I just draw the logical
conclusion, right? Yes. Okay. So then, now we have to look at
who's funding these things, because they're clearly short on
the stocks or something. Both
Unknown: sides of this are apparently being funded by quite
wealthy people. You have Jerry Seinfeld's wife apparently
helping to organize a pro Israel protests are
Adam Curry: married to Shana, is he still married to her? Or has
he gotten a new wife in the meantime?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea. Yeah, that's gotta
Adam Curry: be promotion for his movie.
Unknown: Bill Ackman and other celebrities or I guess wealthy
people have helped to donate to that party fund for the UNC
fraternity that was seen protecting the American flag.
And then on the pro Palestine side Students for Justice in
Palestine, of course receives funding from some Soros
foundations from the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation from a Wall
Street banker by the name of Felice Gellman, the protesters
have been led by some people who are with the US campaign for
Palestinian rights, which receives stipends from some of
those same progressive billionaires to go on to campus
and help these students organize their protest. They have
received pro bono legal advice from the Palestine Legal Group.
So across the board, and we can't just say that all of this
is pure grassroots campaigning done by the students. For the
students. There's outside influence, both on the pro
Palestinian and the pro Israel side. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: think that's what broke all of this because no
one's taking it seriously anymore. Everyone's like, Oh,
okay. It's these these investors on this side, fighting those
investors on the other side. That's all I can see. Now,
billionaires, how do you become a billionaire? Well, you make a
lot of money, and then you invested in the companies, I
guess?
John C Dvorak: Well, you would take the if you were wanted to,
you could if you could get everyone to divest and you are
on the short side, you can make money. And then you can let it
all go back to normal. You can make money that way. It is what
Soros
Adam Curry: typically Soros is made of shorting shorting
currencies
John C Dvorak: is shorter, and he is also placed currencies.
He's really made more money off currencies than anyone could
possibly do. Especially if you read his books. He's got a lot
of tips on how to do this and a lot of it has has to do with
being completely manipulative. Yeah,
Adam Curry: he's always he's short on a country. It's like
Americana, short American now. It's time to take that dot. And
of course, he's really not doing this anymore. It's his boys. Who
might Aberdeen's boyfriend? He's the He's the new face. What says
I've got you on financial stuff, Jonathan
John C Dvorak: or something? Whatever is no, that's not his
name. Jonathan Soros. Oh, it's
Adam Curry: not Jonathan. It's Alex. Alex, Alex, Alex Soros,
Unknown: Alex Soros.
Adam Curry: So you probably saw this hilarious video of Jared
Bernstein. This the the chairman or the CEO of the Council of
Economic Advisers for the President. You saw this video.
John C Dvorak: I passed through it a couple of times. I haven't
really sat down and looked at it if you haven't played it, of
course,
Adam Curry: of course, because everyone's that you're talking
about me you should get a HEPA filter. Stick your head in that
to cedar closet. Right up. Everyone's laughing man
John C Dvorak: and white in
Adam Curry: the cedar closet? I don't know maybe. So everyone's
laughing at this video. And it is laughable because the guy
cannot explain how we print money and we borrow money. But
then why do we even have taxes? What? And he gets so confused
and I try I'm trying to track down same again, Jared
Bernstein. He really is the guy and he's he talks a big game
about inflation. He's on the White House lawn, you know, he's
always brought in to give his commentary. And, and this is
like the the season of reveal Pinnacle when he can't explain
how our financial system works, how we finance the government,
but very few people have explained what's really going on
and I have great hope, great hope that we can you can explain
this. So we understand so we can put you up for Chairman of the
Economic Council of Advisors for the president because this guy
is a numb nut.
Unknown: And the US government can't go bankrupt because we can
print or on money.
It obviously begs the question, why exactly? Are we borrowing in
a currency that we print ourselves and waiting for
someone to stand up and say, Why do we borrow our own currency in
the first place?
Like you said, they print the dollar. So why why does the
government even borrow? Well,
the so the I mean, again, some of the language that the MN some
of the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the
government definitely prints money. And it definitely lends
that money, which is why the government definitely prints
money, and then it lends that money by by selling bonds. Is
that what they do? They, they, yeah, they, they, they sell
bonds? Yeah, they sell bonds, right? Because they sell bonds,
and people buy the bonds and lend them the money. Yeah. So a
lot of times, a lot of times, at least to my ear with MMT, the
language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing,
but there is no question that the government prints money, and
then it uses that money to buy. So yeah, I guess I'm just I
can't really talk. I don't get it. I don't know what they're
talking about. Like, it's like, the government clearly prints
money. It does it all the time, and it clearly borrows.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be having this that in depth conversation.
So I don't think there's anything confusing there.
Adam Curry: So this is Hilarity for all and I'm gonna, I'm gonna
take a little guess here, I'm gonna guess that this guy
doesn't understand, which is amazing. If you're the chairman
and CEO of the economic council of advisors to the President,
that he doesn't understand that the Federal Reserve who creates
money with the banking system is not a government institution.
Unknown: No. So
Adam Curry: can you can you explain simply to us all, just
John C Dvorak: the simplest way is that you have credits and
debits or to balance the budget, they have the same amount of
money out there that you have credits debits for and you so
you, you create a billion dollars with the bonds and sell
them and that money goes into the into circulation. It's the
only simplest way of looking at the way I see it. So
Adam Curry: we, we sell a bond and then that bond, the Fed then
prints that bond in dollars.
John C Dvorak: But people owe that money back.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Well, yeah. The people, the people Oh,
that was mostly
John C Dvorak: the people that buy the bonds. I mean, people,
everyone like say, Well, China, you know, today, yeah, a lot of
foreigners buy the bonds, too, because they're good. It's a
good bond, and it has an interest that pays interest.
Yeah. And oh, yeah, supposed to be the inflation rate at the
most risk is always higher, of course, which means you're
getting inflation. So that is a bid system is builds it builds
inflation in
Adam Curry: so how, why do we pay taxes
John C Dvorak: to help because there is missing money? Because
somewhere along the line, we didn't make this debit credit
thing balanced out. It's never balanced. There was supposed to
be balanced, it would if they put a constitutional amendment
to balance it that you wouldn't have this issue. You probably
wouldn't need to pay taxes, but then we'd all be broke that we
wouldn't be any potholes fixed, and they're not potholes anyway.
They send the money to Ukraine. Okay, I got the answers. Why do
we pay tax? This is not a good system. Okay, no, it's a great
system. We pay taxes to support the military industrial complex.
That
Adam Curry: is that's exactly literally where our money goes
and to pay off the rent the interest the interest of the
money, we earn the interest for them did
John C Dvorak: the bond money mismatch?
Adam Curry: Is this a sustainable system?
John C Dvorak: Long term going for a long time? It's been going
since? I'd say since 1913. Yes, that's that would be the correct
date. Yes, it's been sustainable with a couple of with a couple
of hiccups like that little
Adam Curry: hiccup where we had to confiscate everybody's gold.
That was one hiccup was that's one he had ca 1971 Hiccup
John C Dvorak: is dropping gold altogether from the calculation.
That was Nixon's hiccup. The good way to go real hiccups were
1930 Depression 1970s, depression, the crash of
2008 2009 there and that comes and goes COVID and COVID, a
COVID and the business the business cycle, so And what is
the best way to get this keep this going war?
Adam Curry: Wars good? Isn't that what they always do? That
John C Dvorak: is Marxist economy, a Marxist economists
that's their basis for making these calculations. Yes.
Adam Curry: Oh, so you're Oh my second so so the Marxist like
war because it helps them with their system.
John C Dvorak: Their misunderstanding. I don't know
if they like war or not, but it seems that they might. But no,
they would they, when they see capitalism, they Stace, they
like to interpret it as needing wars to exist. We need to slam
on capitalism, but it's the market but it's a Marxist
economic ish theory that wars are benefit capitalism. I'm just
getting this from other Marxists. I mean, you know, not
one beating did you have to show me the other day? They were
bringing this up and get yet again.
Adam Curry: I loved watching some of the Berkshire Hathaway,
a big meeting in Omaha. They have their annual meeting, of
course, yeah. Sad meeting.
John C Dvorak: Is monger still alive? No, he's
Adam Curry: dead. Oh,
John C Dvorak: he died finally. Okay,
Adam Curry: at 99 is and so here's Warren Buffett without I
think he even referenced someone as Charlie for a moment. He
forgot that he was dead. And they have like $188 billion in
in cash. And Warren Buffett saying this is great. We just
leave it in money markets. We just leave it in treasuries for
three months, six months. Right? Invest in the dumb companies.
But Warren Buffett Warren Buffett Warren What about AI?
Warren What about AI?
Unknown: When you think of the potential for scamming people
reproduce images I can't even tell to say I need money. As
your daughter I just had a car crash. I need $50,000 wired I
mean scamming has always been part of the American scene.
American made me was interested in Destiny's scamming. That's
gonna be the growth industry evolves. I mentioned abled in a
way I you know, obviously AI has potential for good things too.
But I don't know how you miss on the one I saw recently. I
practically would send it to send money to myself overruns or
some crazy country don't have any advice on you
Adam Curry: know I think he nails rambling now it went on
for hours but I think he nails it though. All of this is good
for but he didn't quite nail it. He said for scamming and for
comedy so far we have seen no other actual use yes
John C Dvorak: for a lot art
Adam Curry: yes art you know 60 minutes that a huge thing whole
Randy Travis be thanks to AI he can sing again. Oh boy. I didn't
know he could now he has had some horrible illness oh
John C Dvorak: yeah was throat issues Yeah. Well, I think you
may be summarizing I think you might be on to something I
liked. That clip is almost a go clip borderline borderline but
not because you could because he's hard to hear him.
Adam Curry: Why can't help that. The
John C Dvorak: idea that AI is good for Kuma definitely yeah.
Did you see the bad guy there's wanting to buy No. Pooping
Adam Curry: the best using AI this year. We ate we need to do
the no agenda AI awards. There you go. Best. Best category for
fake video goes to Cat term. Cat term, you're
John C Dvorak: already just I've been pushing for some sort of
awards, the martial
Adam Curry: arts. There's our awards, the AI Podcast Awards.
We'll just throw podcast in there to give it some validity
but it's not about podcasts at all. Just said the AI Podcast
Awards because we do the awards on podcast and we hand out the
best well AI and here's here's this fake voice Yeah, best fake
voice best. And of course we have to have an R rated
category. Best our rated picture of Taylor Swift Taylor Swift its
own category altogether. Yeah, and and we should say best AI
spokes hold dear members
Unknown: of the media and the public. I welcome you. My name
is Victoria she I have been created by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, using artificial intelligence to
provide you with timely and high quality information on Consular
Affairs. I am a digital person. That means that the text you
hear was not read by a real person, it was generated by
artificial intelligence. I will carry out a number of tasks.
First and foremost, I will inform the public providing
timely and verified information from Ukraine's consular service.
Adam Curry: Oh, wow, it's Yeah. Have you seen catch? Have you
seen her? Have you seen the video? No,
John C Dvorak: I have not seen her I know but you know that do
you have to remember that the Japanese had an AI girl who's
extremely famous in Japan somebody whenever a Japanese
produces can tell it can remember the name of this woman?
Oh,
Adam Curry: I know what you're talking about. Yeah. And it
John C Dvorak: was a face and she was she was a celebrity but
she was completely computer generated. But it was called
back then when she came around. This is 5678 years ago when she
showed up. This was called Computer Generated
Adam Curry: Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like Man is the same thing. Max
Headroom?
John C Dvorak: Yes. Like Max Headroom. Be one of our
celebrity judges
Adam Curry: Max head. Yeah. Yeah, I'm one of those guys.
That think we're onto something here. It's begging is the AI
world is begging for an award show. Oh, yes, they need it.
They do and then they can we can tell everyone Hey, listen. You
know, just in case you win, wink wink nudge nudge I think he was
possibly you might have one could you please do an
acceptance speech for us? Really funny. So okay, well
John C Dvorak: this show is going to take it to the limit
and a couple of things that should be noted. One Yes, you do
that you bribe people with awards to get them to speak
lifetime? Not right away but I'd say within a couple of years
probably within three you'd have you to get nominated. You have
to pay a fee.
Adam Curry: Oh of course no. This is how it works now there's
an entrance fee yeah that's how we make a reasonable fee Yes
$2,000 That's our that's how we make money Yeah, and then we
make money on the catering for the gala
John C Dvorak: Yeah, there has to be catering there has to be a
gala
Adam Curry: red carpets
John C Dvorak: well I don't know about that. I don't maybe we're
onto some of the some of the guys who do this there are
Adam Curry: there are so many companies now we were just doing
it virtual was save money there are so many companies who have
it'd be best
John C Dvorak: to do a virtual we're gonna have a real event
Adam Curry: best prompt jockey think about and that's gonna
John C Dvorak: be hard to eat. Here's the problem with that.
Yeah, I would say I'm worried that we're gonna sell merch, the
merchants or somebody else could do the merch. We don't have to
do we just job it out. But I would say I don't like the
prompt jockey thing is going to be tough because what you're
doing is you're exposing a boy II to poaching. Yeah, okay.
You're not gonna go for that.
Adam Curry: But we can definitely get a whole bunch of
comedians to judge the funniest memes the the funniest video
memes the funniest now the panel, and then you know, best,
best faked leaked audio like that.
John C Dvorak: We can sit down and do the categories. Okay,
good. All right. So it's done deal. All right. Exit Strategy.
Beautiful.
Adam Curry: Now, no, I
John C Dvorak: think we can still do the show.
Adam Curry: How disappointing now. Now, let's just let's go
talk to somebody. Let's listen to somebody who knows all about
AI, who is all in and actually calls it the AI which I think we
need to start adopting. It's not AI, it's the AIS. And that's
Bill Gates. And he's back on the scene with the Hannah Ricci This
is his unconfused me podcast, where and he's something's
really weird, but I mean, okay, so it was always weird though.
He's sitting he has
John C Dvorak: a bit of a he has a neurological disorder.
Adam Curry: This is something with his right arm there's
something his his left shoulder was up his right arm was he
never moved really his right arm.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he's got some he's got some some issue
and he also has fax. I think that's Parkinson's problem,
Adam Curry: though. Sorry about that. But anyway, we're still
gonna make fun of him.
Unknown: My guest is Dr. Hannah Ricci, data scientist and
researcher at the University of Oxford, also head of research
for our world in data. She's just coming out with the
fantastic new book called not the end of the world. Welcome,
Hannah. It's
a pleasure to be here.
Adam Curry: It's a pleasure to be here. Okay, so now we're
gonna get into it about the power of AI.
Unknown: Is there something that you've changed your mind about
recently,
I spent a lot of time in the technology world and I have to
say I was very stunned how the AIS went from basically not
being able to read or write at all, to doing that in a very
facile way. Still very imperfect. But it kind of blew
my mind I had challenged people to pass a test and thought they
might never at least take them years, but within a few months,
they were able to do it. So now, you know, I'm thinking about
Wow, how do we use this in education and health and in
various environmental challenges? So the power of
these AI is I, I miss predicted that and I'm reformed. He's
Adam Curry: reformed he believes in the power of the AIS. With
it's very weird to say the AIS. It's like he's like talking
about the God's power of the eyes of AI is I'm reformed I
believe in the power of the AI is our new god. So what do you
think Bill was thinking about? Really? If we're using the power
of the AI guys, any ideas?
John C Dvorak: What could Yeah, what the mRNA vaccines now
creepier
Adam Curry: and creepier? creepier creepier.
John C Dvorak: Who wants to clone himself? I have no idea.
Close.
Unknown: Do you think AI will play a role in climate action?
Well, absolutely. Because our ability to model complex
phenomena
John C Dvorak: we hold on and say stop the podcast. Oh, wow.
Adam Curry: He just pulled the emergency brake.
John C Dvorak: Didn't Bill introduce her? And isn't this
his podcast? No,
Adam Curry: it's that's what's so interesting. I'm glad you
picked up on that.
John C Dvorak: So how did it turn around or he's being
interviewed? Now that's kind of a podcast host is that?
Adam Curry: This is this is the new format. I think it's
revolutionary.
John C Dvorak: Revolutionaries,
Adam Curry: like what I give I give him two thumbs up for this
concept. I like it. I like it a lot. Let's go back.
Unknown: Do you think AI will play a role in climate action?
Well,
absolutely, because our ability to model complex phenomena, the
AIs are helping a lot with that. So for example, looking at the
genetics of cows, and saying, Hey, some cows emit a lot of
methane and some emit very, very little, and some cows survive in
hot weather very well in some do not. And then along with our
ability to edit genes, one of the most dramatic source of
emissions that at one time I and wasn't sure the path forward.
Now we can see either making the cows better, or various
techniques where they they create meat without the cow
Adam Curry: there it is. We create meat without the cow.
There's even a new in the Netherlands, they're promoting
farmer LIS meat, this is my favorite meat without the
farmer. That's the way to go. So, Bill is all in on the
climate change making meat without the cow and probably
some more here. Let's see what else Yes, even
Unknown: the weather modeling piece. Now AI has been applied
to that boat the long term which is, you know, kind of those
climate models, but say telling the farmer in Africa based on
the weather, should they go ahead and plant now? Or is it
going to be so dry? You know, they use stories planted the
first rain, but if you know that's anomalous, you know, then
then you shouldn't plant and so the eyes are really starting to
help us with very practical problems.
Adam Curry: This is bull crap.
John C Dvorak: He say a eyes he
Adam Curry: keeps saying the AI I'm telling you the guy is
looking at the AIS as the gods. He's reformed. Remember the AIS?
The the so the
John C Dvorak: tip. I wish I had the Mr. mRNA clip that he just
did too. And for USA Today where he's like going off the deep
end. Don't
Adam Curry: worry, there's more because he has
John C Dvorak: to wait there's more.
Adam Curry: So remember that you're making cow mooing noises
It's a very inappropriate sell AI remember that we just had
this bird flu scare which is not over. But oh, it wasn't in the
in the ground beef. Ah, thank God it might be in the milk but
it's in the ground beef. But when people you know people
listened very poorly to the news and they hit breaking breaking
breaking ground beef. Bird flu. I guarantee you that people are
like, well maybe you should just have some chicken tonight. I'm
sure want to have some gris ierarh on chicken. I heard
something about ground beef. I don't like it and bit and
they're all jumping in on it. I would have to say if it wasn't
planned, ma'am. They really picked up quick because the fake
meat people are back. They're not going to give up. They're
all in including Bill
Unknown: are you what what scenario where new data kind of
changed your your view of things.
So my general framework for change on many of these
technologies is that if you generate alternative technology,
which is as good as the original and is cheaper than the
original, then people will just adopt it. And I think that's
true for energy sources. I think people are not that bothered
about what actually comes goes into the plug. They just want
reliable power. I think one area where I'm a bit more skeptical
of that framework, nose and food. Now I'm a big fan of meat
substitutes, I love Impossible Burger beyond meat burger, like
I'm a vegan. So I eat this stuff all the time, I think I had this
framework in my head that FDA just got cheap enough and tasted
good that people would just make that switch, I'm now becoming
much more skeptical that it will be as easy as that. I think
there will just be this inherent resistance for many people that
is not meat, so I'm not going to make the switch. So to me, I'm
leaning more towards, I think if we're going to see this large
scale change and dietary habits and basically needs to generate,
you basically just need to generate meat, which would be
lab grown meat, for example, when it's not just a plant based
substitute for that, but it's the actual thing, just without
the cow or the chicken.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you that this is not a coincidence that
Bill Gates and he's clearly interested in anything modifying
cow she's like, Nah, now we just need to go to lab grown meat,
and it's on the radar all over the place. Good luck tops. Wha?
Hey, I think there's I think there's a path for these nut
jobs. Here's Tom llamas with a top story top story on NBC.
Unknown: I'm joined tonight by Tom Ross Meisel. He's the head
of Global Marketing at good meat, one of just two cultivated
meat.
Adam Curry: Let's just bring in the guy who's the head of Global
Marketing. Don't you think that's kind of suspicious?
John C Dvorak: Well, it depends on what the story's about. Is it
about global marketing or Well, it's about is it about this
meeting? Even news this is a native ad is what you're gonna
bought to play? Yes,
Adam Curry: correct. Well, it's because of a debates going on in
Florida meat
Unknown: companies in the US that had been approved by the
FDA to sell their products and Representative Dean black who is
a Republican member of Florida's let's state legislature, but an
important but here he's also a cattle rancher. We thank you
both for joining top story tonight. I'm looking forward to
a spirited debate. Tom, I'm going to play a video for our
viewers now that are great
John C Dvorak: spirited debate as comma, this role. So we're
looking forward to a spirited debate here on the TV show, walk
our
Unknown: viewers through what we're looking here. So the meats
built or assembled, I guess, in these
Adam Curry: were, what he said assembled, he's versus is built,
then assembled, both equally bad
Unknown: built are assembled, I guess, in these metal
containers. And then it comes out and it looks just like a
fillet right? By that grocery store. I would know the
difference. And if you're an idiot, looks like a chicken
fillet. My question to you is What does it taste like? It
tastes like chicken.
Adam Curry: People are going to fall for this. John, people are
going to go I can predict it right now. This global warming
nonsense has been going on for In fact, I have a call out for
our producers. We have a best of show coming up. For the think
Sunday the 26th. And Sir de nonnamous has upgraded being
it.io. I mean, he has done a phenomenal job. You can search
every single episode of the no agenda show I did some and you
can do also now. sort those results in reverse chronological
order. I would I'm going I'm going to put together a global
warming slash climate change special because already never
did. You just did Eclipse. Yeah, but now but now you can get us
talking. And then there's a lot of stuff that's not clips. This
just Okay, your stations.
John C Dvorak: It'd be a nice show.
Adam Curry: I think it'd be a great show. And I'd like
producers to go to bing.io and search because it goes back to
episode three. We were talking about this nonsense. And every
it's been the same for almost 17 years.
John C Dvorak: Can I Can I interrupt your pace and flow for
a second place? We have to do two donation segments today. Go
I
Adam Curry: know I was already thinking about that. I just
wanted to I think we're just back to two I mean, I love it. I
thought it would I thought everyone felt very comfortable.
Here's what we need is we need the art generate a generator to
come back online. Oh, is it dead on the check if it's back online
by now? Nope, it's dead. Is Dead Jim? No agenda art generator.com
is dead as a doornail. Yeah, getting that Cloudflare thing.
Okay, so let's, let's just continue for a little bit
because I think I can tell you Well, how about let me see.
John C Dvorak: So the theme over Your little presentation here is
fake meat. fake
Adam Curry: meat. Yes, fake meat, which was precipitated by
the fake scare about the fake bird flu. And so now the fake
meat people are out all over the place. Tom, what do you see?
John C Dvorak: Oh, hold on. Yeah. So you're equating the
bird flu bull crap that Ken went? Yep. With fake meat. Yeah,
the impetus for fake meat as part of a long arc cut
Adam Curry: set up a big setup. Wow, Bill Gates has an
investment in fake meat company. Well,
John C Dvorak: good for him. He's bought time he lost on some
of his investments. Now,
Adam Curry: I'm just going to take the other side of that, I
think that they're going to, they're going to make it happen.
And, and I'm going to tell you how I'm going to tell you how
first, let's get another one I got, I'm gonna skip around these
clips, I don't want to bore you too much
Unknown: to what culture and politics would be at play here.
I mean, you you should ask Representative black. There are
no credible safety concerns coming from the legislature
about this. So you know, if politicians want to say, hey, we
don't like this meet, that may play well with some consumers.
But you know, ultimately, consumers should decide what
meat they want to buy or not buy. Okay,
Adam Curry: so peers. Now we're gonna get some of the reasons
why we need lab grown meat. Tommy says, Does the
Unknown: country need this right now? And is would your meat be
more affordable? I mean, I mean, give me the top three reasons
why America needs us right now. That's a good question. Yeah, so
the the number one reasons environmental, so we're growing
just the meat that is consumed by a consumer, we're not growing
at the corn, intestine, or fur, or tendons or anything like
that. So we have the ability to grow meat much more efficiently
than the conventional way.
Adam Curry: Yes, we grow meat better than cows, okay. And
that's going to
Unknown: be really important. I mean, the protein requirements
of the planet are going to double between now and 2050.
Adam Curry: Redefining protein, as we suggested would happen. So
adding another
Unknown: tool to be able to sustainably make protein is
going to be really important. It's not going to replace
conventional meat. We're not advocating for that. I'm
certainly that's not be expected from the Florida Legislature.
But consumers should decide they should be able to go to a
grocery store and determine what type of safe and approve meat
they want.
Adam Curry: Okay, so it comes down to one that by the sorry,
not
John C Dvorak: to interrupt here. But I want to say that is
the mistake they're making. Consumers will not decide in
favor of lab grown meat there's consumers are not so stupid,
that they think that lab grown meats better and all they need
is just a kind of a kickoff Hey, you know there's amino acids,
there's all kinds of who knows what mystery elements and, and
vitamins in real meat that the body needs over it because of
evolutionary factors that is not going to be in lab grown
anything that you
Adam Curry: are correct about the quality of the products that
it will be very bad for humans. You I believe you're incorrect
about consumers being stupid a, a lot of consumers took a gene
therapy that it had no business injecting into their body
stupid, I don't know depends on how its positioned by the
authorities and the science. Millions of people have been
psyops into buying an electric vehicle because all it's going
to save the climate is going to save the world is going to
change everything. And these are the saps that are standing by
the side of the road when it's too hot. When it's too cold.
Their car is worth 30% less the minute they drive it off the lot
50% within six months. Yes, consumers are stupid when lied
to, particularly by people of authority like I don't know Elon
Musk. So what is the ticket? Why did they what is the ticket into
getting the people to buy the cheap meat? Listen to this last
clip
Unknown: right now? Is it cheaper or more expensive than
regular meat? Yeah, right now it's more expensive. We've got a
lot of steps in order to scale our technology, it's going to
take a lot of time to get there. But that's true of all new
industries. You know, when cars came out, they're very expensive
cell phones, electric vehicles, you name it. There's always a
process when you're scaling up a new technology and
Adam Curry: what was the solution for the electric
vehicles $5,000 subsidy from the government it's coming for fake
meat. Guaranteed. If you buy the fake meat, it's going to be
cheaper because of the subsidies to the supermarket to the
producers however they do it. Yes. I think that that is going
to happen. I know you disagree. You disagree clearly Well, I'm
John C Dvorak: gonna give you a little I'll give you that I'll
give you the possibilities that they're going to chicken shit
away into this by giving away money by American taxpayer
money. Need to make it so it looks more appealing as
Adam Curry: we print it right? But
John C Dvorak: even cheaper, it's going to, if it's cheaper
disguise, you're going to be a mistake. Because of the way the
mind works. It's going to be a cheap lab grown substitute for
real chicken, which is cheap anyway. But okay, let's just say
it's a cheap lab grown chicken meat. And it's going to this is
cheaper so we can save a little money here. Oh, I don't know.
It's looks cheap. It's cheap. It's going to be seen as cheap
junk. I think there's a huge hurdle to get over. If you're
going to pull this stunt where you think you're going to sell
the public lab grown? You know, some slush, okay. It's not it's
never gonna get this right.
Adam Curry: Have you walked through a regular old
supermarket recently?
John C Dvorak: I walked through regular old supermarkets all the
time. It looks like
Adam Curry: Disneyland. It's nothing but colored packages
with sugar and chemicals. People are eating chemicals and sugar
all day long. And you think, oh, I want some good quality
chicken. Do you buy meat and chicken at the supermarket?
John C Dvorak: I bought meat and chicken at the supermarket. I
don't normally I usually just buy giant slabs of stuff.
Adam Curry: Where do you buy Costco?
John C Dvorak: I buy Costco. Yeah, buy me a Costco.
Adam Curry: You are a discerning consumer who's smart. You're
also from the silent generation. You know, good
John C Dvorak: fam. Not from the silent generation, my baby
boomer, don't take me with them. I'm
Adam Curry: sorry. Mistake mistake. I meant the boomer. Of
course, you're smart. But the people who are eat it, people
are eating junk. Their sugar addicts. They're gonna be Hey,
have you tried this new chicken? It tastes great. Texture is
fantastic.
John C Dvorak: To the stock market and beyond meats. It's
comedy on me. So oh, here it is. Sorry, fake hamburger.
Adam Curry: They had electric vehicles in 1912. They just
needed a reboot. They needed Elon, they didn't have Elon at
the time that you cannot tell me that the electric vehicle has
been a great idea. Can you think so know
John C Dvorak: what it would be if they did, they had the one
that they use the technology which I think they're using in
some parts of China, where you go, you take your electric
vehicle, you drive into the recharging station, they swap
out your entire battery pack and put a new one in and you drive
off in 15 seconds.
Adam Curry: All right, fine, fine, fine. All of it sucks. It
sucks. It's no good. All right. I just hope people go to beef
initiative.com. Everybody, make sure you find a rancher because
it's coming. It's coming. And you know, this is this is my
favorite. So they had on Dean black some house representatives
probably from Florida. And on the off chance that I'm right.
And about what about lab meats? About people going? We're
John C Dvorak: gonna be lapping it up. Yes,
Adam Curry: on the off chance, he brings up a really good
point.
Unknown: There is a lot of research and development still
to be done. And I will agree that in order for it to be
competitive, it would have to be scaled up. And if you scale this
up, that brings up my second objection, which pertains to
China. Look, Communist China and communist countries have a
history of collectivizing agriculture and food production
and they use that to control their populations. And for this
to make sense it will have to be concentrated in large factories.
And look we are in a very tense geopolitical time with China,
North Korea, Iran. And if you concentrate your protein
production in a few major factories you're a few missile
strikes from an instant famine. Yeah.
I like that. I like that. I like it a lot. I like it a lot. And
Adam Curry: then I'll just play this final clip because anything
anything that comes from the Netherlands is dynamite. You
know, again, we're redefining protein. Of course I'm all in
with you that no lab grown meat anything can have any of the
goodness that's inside actual animal protein I don't eat much
chicken at all I don't trust any chicken from anywhere.
John C Dvorak: I don't stress that a chicken I don't
Adam Curry: trust any Sam you trust salmon us trust salmon
from anywhere I don't think so. We use what happened to Dame
Elise from She must have gone overboard members she was Alaska
she would send a salmon from time to time at least guard
garland Yarrow garlic yeah least garlic and garland otherwise
Garling Garling
John C Dvorak: Well, whatever the case is, they are still up
in Port Angeles. I think they bailed out there overboard. We
haven't gotten into it. More importantly, we haven't received
any lemon shallow for the last five years or
Adam Curry: more than that. Her limoncello was off the hook. It
was so good. Anyway, leave it to the the farmer list meat country
known as the Netherlands. This is really this is a marketing
campaign. Farmer list meat. Can you believe it? Instead of
saying it's not actual meat, though, it's farmer list meat.
Don't just forget about the cow. We don't need to stupid farmer
is wooden shoes now and you want protein. Introducing the Dutch
bugs burgers.
Unknown: At first glance it looks like a normal hamburger.
But it's not just any old burger. Because half of the meat
patty consists of ground up insect larvae so Boksburg
nice flavor and I would definitely recommend it.
Adam Curry: It has nice meat flavor, so I'm going to eat is
very good. I would recommend it to all my friends. It's
Unknown: a nice flavor and I would definitely recommend it to
my friends.
The main ingredient and Barrows BOXBERGER is ground blesser
mealworms, the larvae of the darkling beetle. The production
of the insect burgers begins here in the Dutch town of
Amarillo. The manufacturers have been breeding insects here for
about 40 years nearly as animal feed, give them cow feed and
afford the cosmetics industry. But recently they've been
producing more and more larvae for human consumption. He
performs regular checks on the quality. What do you
Adam Curry: think the difference is between larvae for animal
consumption and larvae for human consumption? Is there a
different process suddenly
John C Dvorak: is you're making me sick
Unknown: or larvae for human consumption he performs regular
checks on the quality of his worms. around 2 billion people
around the world eat insects daily, but it's still a big
taboo in Europe within five years. I think we all eat a
couple of times a year insects and worms are sustainable source
of energy containing 50% protein. They only need a
fraction of the space water and feed that breeding higher orders
of animals require their co2 emissions are minimal. The
larvae live for three months in these boxes where they consume
grain. When they're large enough to be harvested. They're flash
frozen and shipped to customers. smocks Kramer and Barish. Ozel
are the founders of Lux burger, the founders first encountered
edible insects during a world trip seven years ago. That's how
they got the idea to start their business. When
we first told friends, family and acquaintances about our
idea, most of them said we were crazy that there's no way it
would work. In the meantime, everybody thinks what we're
doing is cool. And the next thing they say is hey, when can
we finally try it out the
ground veal words are mixed with peas water and a secret spice
mixture burger will lead to the greatest meat being eaten that
will be good for the environment because less grain will be used
for cattle feed. And the insects are also climate friendly. A few
restaurants in Belgium and the Netherlands already have Lux
burgers on their menu. Sonic hamburgers cost between 12 and
17 euros
Adam Curry: they cost a fortune they're going to be subsidized
John C Dvorak: your subsidize theory note to say is probably
the only thing that's gonna save this industry dollars. So it is
I'll give you a clip of the day for that one hour. Thank
Adam Curry: you. I found it by accident. Someone some ways
John C Dvorak: the most disgusting disgusting Clip of
the Day. And probably for a long time.
Adam Curry: Our future is in our future. Yes, they've been
promising
John C Dvorak: they they've been threatening us with this
forever. Oh Carson shows I've been watching and they've talked
about it and
Adam Curry: all we do is live all we do is laugh then that one
day you're gonna wake up
John C Dvorak: one day you're gonna wake up and you're still
not gonna eat. Mr. Devore. I'm
Adam Curry: sorry, you can't buy any beef on your credit card
because you drove a Lexus. An old one a dirt as a motor at a
dirty motorized Lexus, Mr. Dvorak. Do you know how much
improvement we've made on the Lexus in the 25 years since you
bought that vehicle? Mr. Devore. You are a dirty polluter. Carbon
criminal.
John C Dvorak: Your current criminal that's another good
show title. I'm
Adam Curry: just rocking it today. You're a carbon carbon
criminal. And then I'm sorry, it won't work.
John C Dvorak: Well, I have the cars built before they put in
the advices that could not be remotely shut you down. I know
Adam Curry: they're coming. They're coming for you. They're
coming for you. And anyway, um, that's it's just a it's just a
little just a little All I'm saying is get to know a rancher
somewhere because when it comes down to it, here we go again. It
looks no money in this for me.
John C Dvorak: There's no we notice you get free meat.
Adam Curry: No I do not. I tell you you should go to deal
because I'm not like that ranchers can't get
John C Dvorak: away not like that. No, I'm not. No, that's
how you and I differ.
Unknown: Okay, point made
Adam Curry: I just want you to know there's there's no benefit
to me and if there's no benefit to Texas slim or anybody else,
the ranchers are running at capacity so you better get in
while stocks last. Otherwise you're just going to be over
okay, I mean, I'm just here to help people. First Law first law
have no agenda here to help people. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I think that is the first law have no agenda to
help people. All right. But I got a bunch of different things.
I got Russia versus the Falun Gong, which I thought was funny.
I got bank laundering I was another bank caught being a
money laundering operation. Oh, that's you like that? Yeah. Like
yeah, of course. Since about it. Why did he is that your exit
strategy? Why do
Adam Curry: these guys launder it when you can just print it
and just make some for yourself and take it home?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this TD Bank of all places, which
Adam Curry: is that tweet from TD America
John C Dvorak: which is from TD America or not? Okay, play it.
Adam Curry: TD Bank hoping China launder fentanyl money.
According to the Justice Department. The Wall Street
Journal reports an operation was uncovered in New York and New
Jersey which laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in
illegal drug money via TD Bank and other banks. This is TD I
knew I recognize it from my day trading days. TD is from td td
ameritrade and I believe they've been purchased by Wells Fargo
and they had their they had their headquarters in New
Jersey. These these these guys.
John C Dvorak: Let me see if they are owned by
Adam Curry: Wells Fargo. So I think you know they're in Cherry
John C Dvorak: Hill New Jersey. Wells Fargo is the was the
they're owned by Toronto Dominion that's outdoor T D
comes from.
Adam Curry: I thought that someone bought the MCC I could
be wrong. This is according to court files. And people in the
know Chinese wondering Charles Schwab Charles Schwab. I know
that Charles Schwab bought their trading operation I don't know
if they bought the bank is according to court files. And
people in the know Chinese wondering money laundering
organizations have gotten very good at shielding ill gotten
gains. These organizations launder cartel cash quicker and
cheaper than competitors, often with a money back guarantee
during a hearing on Chinese money laundering Tuesday right
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said that Chinese money laundering
organizations work with Mexican cartels to move fentanyl
profits. The Journal reports according to court files in 2021
federal agents followed suspects through New York City streets as
they carry giant bags of cash to bank and on occasion, David
caught suspects bribing TD employees,
Unknown: they can, you know make them look the other way. When
opening bank accounts using a fictitious high quality Chinese
passports. federal
Adam Curry: investigator Ricardo mayoral told lawmakers he's
often seen these organizations engaging in bribery, which
bypasses traditional detection systems. So these guys also,
they own the Nordstrom credit card. They own the target credit
card. This is quite the operation. I'm digging this
John C Dvorak: in for it and 50 billion in assets. And
Adam Curry: what's this anywhere on the quote unquote, mainstream
news I have not heard of this. at all in the Justice Department
probe, the Chinese laundering organization offered $57,000 in
bribes to TD employees. This included gift cards, the
organization moved at least $653 million to 1000s of entities in
the US and Hong Kong. According to court documents. The Justice
Department is also investigating TD Bank for three other
instances of money laundering, a Canadian regulator find it
nearly $7 million on Wednesday, TD Bank said Thursday it's
cooperating with law enforcement and strengthening its anti money
laundering program. Yeah, but people people buying a $3 of
Bitcoin go arrest them, please because you know that's how
criminals operate. Ignore the guys with the fake passports
carrying bags of money down the street. The American dollar is
still the best for corruption. It's still the best criminal
activity with the Best,
John C Dvorak: it's the bet. Well, you've always had this
thesis and I kind of agree with it is very much proven true in
the first Cocaine Cowboys movie which people should see great
movie was discussed the fact that half the banks in Florida
were more or less supported as money laundering operations for
the cocaine trade back in the 70s. And 80s. Great,
Adam Curry: great, great movie. Yes, it's a great, great base of
recommender as a recommender for a second version,
John C Dvorak: not so much.
Adam Curry: I never even watch that. Just the original.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh days money laundering. Yes. We're
back major bank, not a slouch, but
Adam Curry: old school with bags of cash. I mean, you've gotta
hand it to them that that's that's very good. I like it.
Good work, boys.
John C Dvorak: What else you got? Well, we have another
congressman to talk about corruption. I think this is the
Congressman that was caught VMC it's an OTC Yeah. This
Adam Curry: is why it's one of ours. One of our Texas homeboys.
Democratic
Unknown: Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife
have been indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges. The Justice
Department says the case involves the couple's ties to
Mexico and Azerbaijan. The indictment says Quasar and his
wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan
controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico from 2014 to
2021. And exchange were allegedly agreed to help
Azerbaijan and the Mexican bank by advancing their interests in
Congress. Were was at one time the co chair of the
congressional Azerbaijan caucus. And Diane says Claire agreed to
influence bills favorable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro
Azerbaijan speech on the House floor. Federal disclosures show
that the Congressman traveled to
Adam Curry: excellent This is excellent is this is
John C Dvorak: a guy quit er who is Mexican American. Yeah. Or
just American. But he's, yeah, he's really closer to Mexico
than he's in Texas. And he somehow is representing
Azerbaijan. And nobody's a little bit what what's going on
with this guy?
Adam Curry: Because everyone in Congress is on the take
somewhere? Yes, well, it looks like and what I would hope is
that people who just meme about this and of course, there's a
lot of a lot of people who are not fans of the Democrat Party,
go do that know what it is corrupt people, once you go and
vote
John C Dvorak: going below the Republicans who are in the same,
the Republicans who voted for the big bill and all the rest of
it. I
Unknown: want to talk about that too. Well, disclosers, a show
that the Congressman traveled to Azerbaijan and 2013 Two years
later, quasars office announced an agreement between a Texas
University and an organization called the assembly of friends
of Azerbaijan. The Justice Department to the couple
surrender to authorities today, and were taken into custody.
Adam Curry: But see, this is actually a follow up this. This
is the whole thing. It's like when someone is hanging out with
the representatives from Azerbaijan. I mean, what how is
this the people's business? The people of Texas? How is it
helping? How is it helping the people of Texas?
John C Dvorak: Have you made a relationship between University
of Texas and a school in Azerbaijan? I mean, there's
something there, please.
Adam Curry: So you remember Gallagher, Representative Mike
Gallagher? He's the one that introduced the original let
steel tic toc bill.
John C Dvorak: Yes. And he had y'all remember, and he had a lot
of
Adam Curry: lobbying money from Google. And so I've been waiting
to see where he shows up, because he said he was going to
resign, actually. He, he rescinded that. And he says, no,
no, no, I'm going to resign. So he's going to resign on April
19. But he moved his resignation to April 20. So that he
John C Dvorak: could wait that when some stock options expire?
No,
Adam Curry: that was when we had the TIC tock bill included in
the military industrial complex, defense industrial base bill,
the $100,000,000,000.95 96 Give or take for Ukraine, Israel,
Taiwan. So it was so important for him to vote. And guess where
he shows up? He just got a job at Palantir a fine Military
Industrial Complex company. And that's how it works.
John C Dvorak: I ran into something the other day it was
sponsored by Palantir. And I'm thinking
Adam Curry: I'm spook and here and here we are trying to make
some money with this with an award show.
John C Dvorak: I mean, we're Yeah, but it's gonna be a
winner. It's gonna be a winner jury.
Adam Curry: We're doing it all the wrong way. I have a CBS
John C Dvorak: reporter we wanted to be a couple of corrupt
jerk offs. Yeah, we could go do anything we wanted. But now
let's talk about the set. This is more fun and people
appreciate it.
Adam Curry: It is I was I have a lot more for you imagine having
to be a crook having to be a criminal. I mean, like, hide
money and shell companies and being in
John C Dvorak: helping you like this quasar guy. He got his wife
arrested. Well, that's what you do. That's what
Adam Curry: I mean. Take your
John C Dvorak: wife with her. I'd taken everybody with me. All
my relatives are going down ultimately
Adam Curry: that what's the Congressman Bob? What's his
name? The other Caribbean? Yeah, he threw his wife out there.
Hey, hey, she set it up. Where she did
John C Dvorak: his wife under the bus here, which
Adam Curry: she did. Yes. Awesome. All right. Let's talk
about because, you know, obviously Mike Johnson got he
got the blame for I guess the blame for everything. But then
the besides us bringing this bill to the floor for for the
aid to Israel, which is the the big was the big problem. Then
they said and you're not done, son go out there and talk about
anti semitism being unAmerican. And we need we need a bill. We
need a big virtue signal bill we need so I got some clips. I got
I got a couple two, I'd like to hear yours. Because no matter
what side of the debate you stand on, Congress shall make no
law. What is the actual term to
John C Dvorak: look at? Short and sweet? Yeah,
Adam Curry: this is an actual term. It's not it's not in
French is in French? It's I think it's in French. Congress
shall make no law now see if I can get the Congress shall make
respecting us prohibiting the free exercise thereof or
abridging I'm sorry, of course, I should have no abridging
abridging the freedom of speech or the right of the press or the
right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the
government for a redress of grievances. You know what, while
we're on this before, before we go anywhere, since we're on the
First Amendment, again, Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof. This is the Establishment Clause, which has
been misconstrued into separation of church and state.
And would you know it, there's an ad out there, there's some
group that is trying to promote this, this podcast is brought to
you by Americans United for Separation of church and state.
For more than 75 years, Americans United has defended
your freedom to live as yourself and believe as you choose, so
long as you don't harm others. Core freedoms like abortion
rights, marriage equality, public education, and even
democracy itself rests upon the wall of separation between
church and state, white Christian nationalists,
attacking these freedoms have forced us all to live by their
narrow beliefs, right? Americans United is fighting back freedom
without favor and equality without exception. Learn more
about a US work at au.org/nbc.
John C Dvorak: called ABC. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. NBC Pomi slash
NBC. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Because this runs on NBC podcasts. It's
John C Dvorak: an NBC podcast, atheist podcast, there's the
atheist podcast, by the way, of course. I'm not you know, anti
Christian nationalists by any means. You are I'm not and I
tell you this rich I was asked by atheists a mile away.
Adam Curry: Code bond Gino. Cool. So anyway, so the
abridging of what this the way I understand it, and I have a
couple clips too, but I want to hear yours first. This
resolution, which really only results in boy do we need
Chevron Chevron deference to come to the Supreme Court soon
resulted in a proposal for the Department of Education to adapt
title six, very similar to what they did with Title Nine where
they said hey, you know, what? Is gender whatever you identify
as you can't be discriminated against. So yeah, dudes, you can
go into the women's locker room and toilets and all that. And
Title six, has now defined what anti semitism is, and then they
bundle that all up, including the illegal chants, which we
discussed, because somehow saying from the river to the
sea, Palestine will be free, is dangerous, very dangerous, then
it could spark something horrible and it's like yelling
fire in a crowded theater, or it's fighting words or somehow
they've determined that they can write regulations. It's not even
a law but regulations against this type of speech and I I
don't think either one of us feel that that is a good idea or
constitutional. I would agree. So where did you get some clips
from and what
John C Dvorak: do I got these clips? This is one of those
discussions that take place on NTD would they bring a guy in in
the yak, yak yak about, about this particular thing with some
ideas? I only clip these because there's points of interest in
here. Here we go. This is
Unknown: in di D.
Joining me now to discuss the act is Jonathan Hoolahan,
General Counsel and Director of Legal operations at Citizens
defending freedom. Jonathan, thanks for joining us. Good to
see you again. Now. The House passed the anti semitism
awareness act in a bipartisan vote. It's now waiting in the
Senate. Now Congressman Mike Lawler who introduced the bill
said on the House floor quote, It is absurd to oppose this,
that it somehow limits free speech, adding that calling for
death to Jews isn't protected speech, it's anti semitic. What
is your analysis of this bill?
Well, this is an interesting bill. I mean, you have
conservatives and progressives that really band together in a
lot of circumstances under the banner of free speech, which I
agree in some circumstances, and here's why. I mean, if you look
at the Constitution, First Amendment, Congress shall make
no law abridging the freedom of the press, or freedom of speech.
So that's the first amendment. Some of the critics of this bill
have said it's too broad for each free speech will be
chilled. And it really is outside the boundaries of the
First Amendment. That being said, this is really content
based restriction. And that's okay sometimes, right. Why
there's obscenity, advocacy for breaking laws, convincing people
to break laws commit mayhem, all of those things are exceptions
to the to the First Amendment. I'm sorry,
Adam Curry: who is this?
John C Dvorak: He had to back it up again. I didn't write it
down.
Adam Curry: Oh, how is this an exception to the First
Amendment?
John C Dvorak: He said the deception the first amendments
are things like threatening somebody sending you know doing
advocating riots. Yeah, but those are all exceptions. Yeah.
First Amendment then he went into a whole bunch of other
things. I thought they were all part of the I think they're all
exceptions to the First Amendment, which is an extension
of yelling fire in a theater but you can't you know, threaten
somebody's life. You can't these are all First Amendment issues.
Right. But
Unknown: listen here, but he says content based restriction
and that's okay. Sometimes right. Whether it's obscenity,
obscenities,
John C Dvorak: obscenity, obscenity used to be against the
law, and it's not will you know, that's a first that's
obscenities
Adam Curry: obscenities, you're you're the biggest violator.
What
Unknown: is advocacy for breaking laws, convincing people
to break laws, commit mayhem, all commitment. Those things are
exceptions to the to the First Amendment fighting words piling
so it kind of falls in that bucket. Now, the issue is, is
this content based restriction with this bill narrowly tailored
to a compelling government interest, that's kind of the
case law where it falls. And I would say I would agree that it
is a little broad using this definition. And they should
tailor it down a little more narrow. To be very specific that
these fightin words are calling for criminal activity. What
we've seen on these campuses is inherent it's, it's not free
speech, it's violent, it's not letting Jewish students pass all
of those things are not protected speech. So I get the
aim of the bill but we got to be very careful when the government
is trying to compel some some type of content based
Adam Curry: restriction. Alright, so let's just let's
just break this one down for one second. From the river to the
sea Palestine will be free. Do you feel that that is a fighting
word? That is a call to
John C Dvorak: do I feel that way? No. Okay. I'm not Jewish.
Yeah, does that I can assume that some Jew Jewish people
might feel that way. Okay.
Adam Curry: They can feel bad about it. But that's
John C Dvorak: your feeling. Oh,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I misunderstood it's about hurt
feelings I got
Unknown: expanding on the critics side, Congressman Jerry
Nadler called the built misguided adding that by
effectively codifying those examples into title six, the
measure threatens to chill constitutionally protected
speech speech that is critical of Israel alone does not
constitute wrongful discrimination. Help us
understand the title six that's referenced here.
Well, yeah, I never thought I'd agree with Congressman Nadler on
much so but under Title six of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
that ensures university or college programs or activities
that receive federal funding do not discriminate based on
national origin, ancestry characteristics, those type
things. So under Title six, those schools are already
supposed to be doing that. So for example, if they have these
groups They're calling for violence, they're calling for
death, Israel, all of these really horrible things, then
those groups shouldn't be allowed to exist on campus, they
should be investigated and expelled because they're trying
to further a criminal act of getting getting these, you know,
intimidating students those type of things. So they shouldn't be
tolerated in the first place, because it goes beyond first
amendment rights. So I do agree that title six is a mechanism
already that already has mechanisms that can be enforced
without adding to it. And I would be very concerned about
giving the department education more authority. Look, we've
already seen what the department education has done with with
gender. I mean, they redefine gender. So we're gonna give the
department education more authority to to investigate
students, when they clearly can't even get biological sex,
correct.
Adam Curry: Okay. All right. Well, good. he redeems himself a
little bit here. Yeah. So we have a gabot with his packs in
his Attorney General packs and packs and the attorney general.
Yeah. So he's suing over Title Nine and say, Now, we're not
going to adhere to that. We're just not going to do that. No,
no, no. And then in the same breath is like, May is Israel
Awareness Month like Ah okay, okay. All right. Let me see what
this guy winds up with on
Unknown: that no Congresswoman Harriet hegman says the bill
provides no actual relief for terrorized Jewish students and
infringes on the First Amendment. Washington poses
saying the bill would create a clear definition of anti
semitism and US law and then enable the education department
to cut off funding to economic institutions that are found to
tolerate such behavior. Based on that definition. Do you think
the bill will effectively address anti semitism on
campuses?
Well, not not particularly I think what will will address
anti semitism is having Chancellor's and university
presidents enforce the law, and not a lot allow these things to
get out of hand by enabling the department education to give
them more authority. Again, Congress delegating their
authority to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats to
conduct investigations is not the answer. When the answer is
the rule of law and using the tools that are already in the
toolkit. It is not lawful to prevent students of Jewish
ancestry to go to class, it is not lawful to threaten or
intimidate. So there are laws on the books, and these
Chancellor's. And presidents of these universities need to show
leadership and show courage. And doing the right thing is not
always easy. But they need to do the right thing here. I'm just
very skeptical, skeptical of giving the department education,
more authority, more deference, especially when it comes to our
constitutional rights. Oh, he
Adam Curry: says the word deference.
John C Dvorak: Yeah,
Adam Curry: I like that. Okay, he's
John C Dvorak: back in your good graces we
Adam Curry: turd. We totally need to we need I was talking
to, you know, who came through town the other day, we had
dinner, some drinks for his birthday was the oil baron.
Okay. And I'm saying so, you know, you know, we're talking
about what's going on. And you know, he says, you know, should
buy any weird. First of all, you said, all the Democrats he knows
and he travels in Austin. So lots of Democrats. He says, All
my friends are like, they're on the outside. Yeah, go Joe. But
they tell me they're all voting for Trump. Because they don't
want to be ousted from the group from their other Democrat
friends who are probably also lying and are going to vote for
Trump. But he says it's actually bad for us because if Trump gets
in, then the oil prices will kind of stay where they are. And
they're going to start going down. He said that if Biden gets
to go for another, another go around. He says the oil prices
will skyrocket. He says it's been held down artificially, by
a whole bunch of means.
John C Dvorak: Well, I would have asked him, I
Adam Curry: can still ask him, so yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, the production of oil in this
country is at the highest it's ever been, despite what Biden
says, but it's a fact. Yeah. So I think he's just saying it's,
you know, they're making a big fuss about petroleum because
it's because of the base of idiots. And because of the high
production going on here and does and I guess cutting off the
Russian stuff may be affected the whole the whole scene, the
price of oil is too high now. It's not too low. It's not
artificially low by any means. But he
Adam Curry: says it could double he says it's crazy. I can see it
going up. Yeah, yeah. I'm just telling you what the what the my
boy in the oil business says, you know, I have no other
John C Dvorak: probably as a feeling for it. He's in the
business after all, he told
Adam Curry: the EPA, you know, remember they have all you've
got to shut off these things. You've got leakage everywhere
and data
John C Dvorak: leakage and never find theories that are Yeah,
product is just going out the window he
Adam Curry: says that we have so much basically just free gas
that is just just out there that no one is building any plants
for he says we could set with the week, we can't even give it
away. Gas nicaise natural gas, we could power the country for
1000 years with all this gas that we're not allowed to do
anything with. It's just that it's just there. We also have
John C Dvorak: 350 years that known reserves of coal that we
could power the country with her 350 years. Plus another 1000
years again, we could just be going like crazy for the next
you know. 1500 years, it seems and no one would blink an eye
but no no, no oil.
Adam Curry: No. Yeah. Peak Oil by your electric vehicle people
John C Dvorak: ordering the grid down. I'm driving around
yesterday. I mean, local, local driver. Oh, here we go. The cars
that are parked on the street and elsewhere. Where are you?
Where are they going to charge? You have to charge an electric
car every night?
Adam Curry: Yep. Yep. How about how about Los Angeles? You
imagine being on the 10 with like 30% battery?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I can imagine. It's no big deal
because you're not moving. And the electric car only uses
energy when it's moving. So you could sell for hours on end. How
about your air conditioner? Well, that would be chewing up
some gas and gas. Alright, right
Adam Curry: I got a couple of clips here from from the nap.
The Napster judge nap. Now when it comes to freedom, you want to
be listened to judge Napoletano
John C Dvorak: by the way. I'm gonna just before you do that,
you know, you brought up this idea of this group of people you
had a name for him that counter podcasters or something
controlled opportunists that couldn't Yeah, those guys.
There's another as a third group. Oh, no. And Napoletana
was part of this third group and he keeps bringing these Amrinder
Ritter he's bringing later got Ritter I think McGregor
McGregor. McGregor is in this third group. And there's a note
there's a there's this Larry White, I think his name is
another expert or No, Larry, some. And there's a bunch of
these guys. And it's like it to me, you because that group that
you defined, I think there's another group and I think that's
this group in the peloton was right in the middle of it? Well,
I
Adam Curry: like him. I like I don't like it when he has those
guys on because, you know, people will say, This is great.
It explains everything to ours doesn't explain anything. But he
nails this one down the way I see this.
Unknown: The House of Representatives voted by
overwhelming numbers to define anti semitism in such a way that
if you repeat certain phrases from the New Testament, you can
be declared an anti Semite. Okay, let them say what they
want about me. Ah, but if you're a college professor or college
administrator, or you're a student on the college, let's
you say this, the college can actually lose federal funds.
Now, this is not the law yet. The Senate hasn't, hasn't voted
on its version of this yet. Joe Biden would probably sign up
because he likes to curry favor with Prime Minister Netanyahu
and his government. But I would think that the first person
harmed by this law would challenge it in the federal
court and the first federal judge that sees this thing will
invalidate it, because Congress shall make no law abridging the
freedom of speech basically means that you decide what to
say and what to listen to. And the government has no say in
making those decisions. Because the whole purpose of the First
Amendment. This is right out of about two dozen Supreme Court
opinions now is to keep the government out of the business
of speech. He's a constitutional lawyer he would know regarding
the House of Representatives anti semitism Bill, did all the
members of Congress who voted for passage of the bill violate
their oath of office? Yes, they did.
Adam Curry: This the way he's taking questions. He's taking
questions. Okay. I
John C Dvorak: want to say you mentioned some of your youth
called this a resolution it appears to be an act. It
Adam Curry: No, it's HR, it's a house resolution. It's a
resolution that resolves the there's no extra law being
written here. They're adapting title six. That's just saying,
Hey, we think you should change title six. Okay.
John C Dvorak: Department of Education goes into the
Department of Education is involved. Yeah, Chevron
deference. These people run deficits got to get in. Sooner
than later they'd knock this crap off.
Adam Curry: Let me just say Congress would impress me. If
they said we're writing a law a bill a law that says you cannot
say this then you would impress me with your big mouth but know
what they're doing is yeah, we gave Jamie usually change a
bikini him because they don't have the balls because they know
it's completely unconstitutional. So it's a
resolution that says, Department of Education, you should change
that
Unknown: great question that violated their oaths of office
because every twice a month I did when I became a state judge
in New Jersey the President did when he became president, a
school board janitor takes and that is fidelity to the
Constitution, which includes the First Amendment, not the
Constitution as they want it to be. But the Constitution as the
courts have interpreted. Great question. Okay,
Adam Curry: we'll do one more. And then we're done with and
under HR
Unknown: 6090. The New Testament is anti semitic hate speech. How
can you swear on the Bible in court now? How can they swear on
the Bible when they take their oath of office? Great question.
And great observation. Great question. Statements made in the
New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the Acts of the
Apostles and St. Paul's letters, to the Hebrews to the Romans to
the Colossians. to the Thessalonians. All of that is
hate speech under this despicable legislation that the
House of Representatives passed yesterday. I don't think the
Senate is going to pass it. And it is inconceivable to me that a
judge would allow it to last, the first judge before whom it's
challenged will enjoin its enforcement immediately.
Adam Curry: So I'm just helping me here, John, I'm reading hr
6090 House resolution. It says at the top enact but this an axe
is the acting, that doesn't mean it's law just helped me
understand make sure I'm saying this right. And it says to
provide for the consideration of a definition, consideration not
this is what we define it as consideration of a definition of
anti semitism set forth by the International House of Pancakes,
a Holocaust Remembrance Alliance for the enforcement of federal
anti discrimination laws concerning education programs or
activities, and for other purposes. So they're asking for
consideration of a definition.
John C Dvorak: They're they're designing something to throw it
to department, I think he would, he said was right. They're
designing something to throw it to her at the Department of
Education to make them do a bunch of differences, you know,
bunch of different Yes, rules, a bunch of rules. And the rules
are only apply that the rules are designed to apply to the
colleges, they get federal funding, so they can hold the
sword of Damocles over their heads. Exactly. And dig and let
them do their own thing. I mean, I think everybody's right,
you're right. He's right. And this is just a chicken kind of
approach. Do not want to do anything, but you know, pass on
it here. You guys go do this for us. Yeah. So we don't have to do
exactly. So we, we can look good in the process by voting. Yes.
Adam Curry: And I will just remind everybody, Chevron
deference, Jeff, Chevron, Chevron, Chevron deference,
Chevron, Chevron deference is under review, we'll come up with
the Supreme Court and what that will force is a complete redo of
how laws are written. So laws will
John C Dvorak: be agencies. Yeah. So the agencies basically
will no
Adam Curry: longer be able to interpret the laws, the laws
will be sent back to Congress, and they will have to define
exactly what the law is and not leave it up to the agencies
which would, which would save our country? If if, if, if if,
John C Dvorak: and of course, the irony, remained, because I
think I wrote this up in his substack. The irony is that the
is all began during the Reagan administration. Yes, during a
case where the EPA was because Reagan told the EPA to back off.
And so they started changing their rules, they backed off and
they got sued by a by a climate change on you know, grew I've
some climate people, climate critters, it was a lawsuit, and
it was, it was against Chevron for not having to follow the
older rules, because the EPA backed off and they and they
would of course, decide, hey, the EPA, it's up to them, they
can do whatever they want. And if they back off on their on the
rules and make things easier on Chevron, that's just too bad.
That's just the way it is. It became known as the Chevron
deference. But then it know that it became an issue once they
went the other way. And they did damage this. The problem is
Republicans and Democrats, the Democrats get in and they crank
the rules up in the other direction. And now our wishes
Oh, this is bad. What was fine during the Reagan
administration, but now it's bad. Okay. Exactly. It's kind of
it's a basic path
Adam Curry: to healing. It would be it would be healing for our
country.
John C Dvorak: But it's but in reality, this shouldn't be for
that case, which was in the 80s it Congress had a little more
responsibility and then handing everything off to these these
bloated was a kangaroo court that was part of that system.
bloated you were part of it. Yeah when I was in the air
pollution district it was a kangaroo court they had their
own hearings and their hearing board and you had to stand up
when the guys came into the hearing
Adam Curry: for the guys in the agency know your
John C Dvorak: court system Wow, they all these agencies do they
have their own little kangaroo court and they bring people in
and the next thing you know there are so and so the head of
the whatever was called the air the board and they get
everyone's stand they all stand like it's a like a real judge
all hail all hell and they all sit down and then they you know
you guys are fined a million dollars for doing this and that
the other thing Okay, well, what are we going to do about it
nothing.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
current say in the morning to you, the man who put the season
the Karman criminals ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other end, the One Only Mr. John Cena
John C Dvorak: should see boots on the ground feet in the air
subs in the water all the days and nights out in the morning.
Adam Curry: Well, 1986 1986,
John C Dvorak: Sunday sucks.
Adam Curry: Well, I like all 1986 trolls who are listening in
some of them are in the troll room trolling away. And I got
lots of stuff to say, especially the last couple of topics. It
was amazing. And I want to remind everybody that we have I
don't know, we wrote no one really knows how many people
listen and downloads and what and no one really knows. We've
never played that game. But it seems like there's probably
hundreds of 1000s of people. And we're close, like 900,000 people
on a monthly basis who listen to this podcast. And we love
celebrating our executive and Associate Executive producers
that balances out because really only a couple of percentage
points of people who support the show, if everybody this is not
pitching for this, because that's what NPR does. And
they're about to fold. If everybody just supported us once
a month with $5. We I mean, can you imagine?
John C Dvorak: That's the myth. That's that myth of that's
Adam Curry: the myth. Yeah. So the myth, the podcast, but I
want everyone to know that under the value for value system when
you do that, and people say I am broke it. Is there not one
single thing. If you find value in the show, if you're listening
to the show, there's not one moment in the month, where you
can say I'm going to contribute some value back. One less
cappuccino. I mean, it's just priorities. I'm only asked
John C Dvorak: winless cap if everybody okay, let's say I've
cappuccinos four bucks at Starbucks. It's probably more,
it's more Okay, let's say it's four bucks, though we go easy.
If everybody gave us for everybody of let's say close to
a million people gave us four bucks a month. That would be $4
million a month we make and I can see where you guys think
this is possible. I know. It's Wow, we made $50 million. Yeah.
Adam Curry: It's not gonna happen. We do exactly one month
of a show and retire. So it's not gonna happen. It's not but
that's okay. So just from time to time when when you hear us
asking for support. Consider us do that. I mean, I, I live by
the same standard all the time. People say, Oh, you got some
money for this. You got some GoFundMe over here? I live by
the same rule. And honestly, as the giving them makes me feel
good. I do. You probably don't. Do you ever give money to
anything online?
John C Dvorak: I haven't gotten to do the cash flow is so lousy,
horrible man.
Adam Curry: So to balance that out people who clearly have more
value to give and that's just because of their situation. We
give their titles executive and Associate Executive Producer
ships, this stems from our, from our roots from Hollywood.
Because the producers you think that they're like producing the
movie like no call on the shots? No, you're funding the
operation. So we have producers who produce in many different
ways. A lot of ways and yeah, I mean, we probably can't thank
our art. Well, we can thank our artists. We can't do a review of
only say it's okay. Yeah, but I mean, we're also not gonna have
any art 616 56 Johnson pivot, very funny name. Artists.
Correct record, who I'm correct record hadn't had a wind for a
couple of maybe a couple of years. Been lagging in and
correct. The record came back in with a very confusing piece of
art because, yes, we actually use a piece of art that had kind
of President Biden's face on it. And so Scarah manga, you know,
the Dutch guy, he's like, what is what is it okay, now How to
Use to use a famous celebrity
John C Dvorak: get thinking something that's an exception is
okay and it's going to happen over and over again isn't as
faulty thinking
Adam Curry: it will Kenny been in the same conversation she had
a right she says another fine Dutch artist Kenny Ben says the
only rule is is a funny does does it hit? Does it hit a
nerve? And I would say we're always looking for something
that makes us laugh.
John C Dvorak: Would you agree? Absolutely. The stuff that makes
it unless it's lewd. Yes. Yeah. Because sometimes some lewd art
will make us laugh, but then we're gonna probably in bad
taste.
Adam Curry: Congress is going to outlaw lewd art soon enough.
Yeah. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: But we also believe in and more or less good
taste.
Adam Curry: Okay, so true. It's a fact we had a menthol Joe. But
of course, we know that President Biden is pandering to
the black community, as he calls it. Because it's all just on one
zip code. And, you know, they were banning menthol cigarettes,
and, you know, so now, that's the most racist thing I've ever
heard. Hey, hey, blacks, don't worry, we're gonna let you smoke
them up your Menthols. It's unbelievable. Don't lose the
black vote no, no. And then we even had the hidden a little
thought little little cartoon balloon there. You ain't black,
pointing out. So the hypocrisy of menthol Joe made us chuckle
was a good piece. A you know, correct a record is one of those
pros and just did a great job. There were some other ones I
know that we that we considered but no agenda rt generator.com
is currently down. So hopefully, Sir Paul Couture's, okay, and
he's working on it. And hopefully, it's not too bad that
we can have it up by the next show. And we appreciate the work
that all of our artists do. We're sorry, if it comes across
as confusing. But that's, that's the art world, man. It's how it
rolls man. Hey, man, it's how the art roll the art world
rolls. But and typically we're able to, we're able to critique
all the pieces, but we can't do that today. So thank you.
Correct. The record is a perfect example of time and talent given
by our artists. And you can always check those out. All of
the artists used one way or the other in our chapters, which
Dred Scott puts together for us on the modern podcast apps
podcast. apps.com. Now, to thank our executive and Associate
Executive producers for episode 1657. We kick it off with Sir
Tommy hawk. from Iowa City, Iowa. 504 24 I have a feeling
that may be $500. And he added the PayPal fees. It's
John C Dvorak: more than $4.24. Okay, so
Adam Curry: is there a reason why 504 Because what was Cinco
Demayo, but it would that would have been 505. So I don't know.
But he does, says ITM AC JCD. Star Wars. Oh, I see. That's why
it's for 504 24 Star Wars Day donation. Yes. May the Fourth be

Hamill, they rolled him out again.
John C Dvorak: Oh my god, Mark Hanna. When they posted a
picture of him hugging Karina on July Pierre. Ivan have so and

the Hatch Act.

president is illegal.

office and he recorded and posted this with a with a

Unknown: The Russians are in a separate compound and don't have
access to US forces or access to our equipment. US
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin offering reassurances that US
troops in Asia are safe. His comments came after Reuters
reported that Russian military personnel had entered an airbase
in the capital Miami, which houses US troops. New shares
junta has told us to withdraw the nearly 1000 military
personnel the US has in the country. At the same time,
Russia is seeking to strengthen relations with Nigeria and other
African countries. Until a coup last year. Niger had been a key
us partner in the fight against Islamic insurgents.
Adam Curry: It's really what what do we get out of Nigeria? I
mean, we we had a we have a drone base there we actually has
John C Dvorak: probably minerals of some sort I'm sure we
Adam Curry: listen to this. This is I think a strategic we have a

radical shifts in policy recently. French troops were
expelled from Niger last year and now they're demanding US
troops get out get out the US as a regional ally in its fight
against terror groups in the region and operates a military
base and $100 million drone base in the sub Saharan desert so

John C Dvorak: that's happened could happen Yeah. Let's go to
Adam Curry: we just print some more than the three by three by
the way.
John C Dvorak: Maybe the last one.
Adam Curry: Why? Why maybe the last one because
John C Dvorak: you know they're getting cheated on like I'm
there.
Unknown: Because your haters debridement JC D is failing
comparing story from ABC CBS
Adam Curry: All right. Well, the jury is out we're not but you
know, the next three by three could be a comparison in a
prelude to our award show could be three by three of AI jokes
made about a certain topic,
John C Dvorak: or a three by three of Joe Biden's voice. Yes,
Adam Curry: there you go. That now you're talking now we have
now we
John C Dvorak: do have this is about Biden. condemning the
violence. Here. He finally came out and said something about
what's going on in the common on the college campuses. It took
him forever. And so we know it's got to be the big top of the
news now, so they get to do three, three networks pretty
much producing the same story with a variation always from
CBS. But let's start with ABC.
Unknown: Tonight the dramatic images of authorities moving in
during the overnight hours cracking down on protesters at
UCLA and driving them out, continuing their efforts to oust
them as the sun came up. University declaring this pro
Palestinian encampment an unlawful gathering, calling in
outside help. Hundreds of officers arriving in riot gear,
firing flashbangs and non lethal ammunition. As officers cleared
a library where anti war protesters had barricaded
themselves inside police releasing photos of ball
bearings and DIY armor they say were homemade weapons. Used to
force criminal charges. And tonight authorities revealing
what they say has become all too common outside agitators of the
12 people arrested in Portland police a just for actually
students tonight after days of protests across the country.
President Biden now speaking out saying order must prevail.
destroying
property is not a peaceful protest. It's against the law,
vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows shutting down campuses,
forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of
this is a peaceful protest the
president condemning anti semitism and threats of violence
against Jewish students. He also spoke out against discrimination
against Arab Americans,
there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind,
whether it's anti semitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination
against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans. It's
simply wrong.
Adam Curry: But why it is okay. To say no white, white is okay,
no problem then. Take YT YT YT can take it or you can take it.
John C Dvorak: So let's go with MBCs YT.
Unknown: With the clashes between college campus
demonstrators and police reaching new heights today
President Biden condemning violent disruptive protests,
vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows shutting down key
Adam Curry: sounds more like faster here.
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
Adam Curry: Did they spin them up?
John C Dvorak: I think they, it would be probably appropriate to
give to play him at one point to speed that's
Adam Curry: what they're doing here. They spun his voice up
below it
John C Dvorak: had to do a side by side button could be
vandalism.
Unknown: trespassing, breaking windows shutting down.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I'm gonna obsess over this. If I don't
just listen for a second. Where's, let me get your ABC
report.
Unknown: Tonight, the drunk driving them out continuing
their effort to oust them as the sun came up.
John C Dvorak: Whereas a university
Unknown: declaring this Justinian
against the law order must prevail. destroying property is
not a peaceful protest. It's against the law, vandalism,
trespassing fashion, breaking windows. That's the same as
shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and
graduations. None of this is a peaceful protest, threatening
people, intimidating people. instilling fear in people is not
peaceful protests
Adam Curry: against the better question is Which Biden is it?
That's that's the question. It's
Unknown: against the law. Nationwide,
more than 2100 arrests have been made connected with campus
protests. Today. Portland State University campus closed down as
police made 12 arrests and cleared the school's library
overnight for arrested at Yale 90 removed from campus at
Dartmouth. And at the University of Wisconsin's Madison campus,
defiant students re establishing their tents just 24 hours after
police disbanded the encampment there,
we're gonna be here indefinitely until they meet our demand. Back
at UCLA
cleanup is underway with Professor Graham Blair, who was
arrested this morning and the encampment is defending the
students right to protest despite some of the tactics
they've used. I
think anyone who is worried about graffiti on buildings on a
college campus used to come visit a college campus. It's 18
year olds who are learning for the first time how to express
themselves.
Adam Curry: Oh, you put him because if you put him to the
leftist generator, he stays the same. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's for sure. Now, these two reports are
interesting because ABC concentrated solely on UCLA.
Yes. And ABC is owned by Disney which is where UCLA is this the
call Hollywood, you know, UCLA Westwood, as opposed to NBC,
which had a more kind of eclectic look at all bunch of
different colleges. So that was kind of an interesting
comparison. But let's see what the big boys do at CBS the CIA
Adam Curry: Broadcast Systems.
Unknown: White House officials say it was the sheer number of
violent encounters on college campuses over the past two days
that prompted President Biden to speak out
right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos.
His comments came in the wake of nearly 2000 arrests. More than
30 colleges and universities start during the barricade just
today, protesters were ejected from a library at Portland State
University that they had occupied for three days. Inside
police say they found ball bearings, paint balloons, spray
bottles of ink and DIY armor. Vandalism,
trespass
Adam Curry: breaking DIY armor that's the trash cans are
talking about is this DIY
John C Dvorak: girl that was on one of these tick tock videos
that had a bunch of their armored up now armored is
worried about rubber bullets.
Adam Curry: What do I smell? That's my Armor Spray
Unknown: Bottles of ink and DIY armor,
vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows shutting down campuses,
forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations. None of
this is a peaceful protest.
Like many protesters, President Biden has expressed concern
about the plight of Palestinian civilians more than 34,000
killed according to the Hamas run health ministry. But when
asked today if he would change his policies towards Israel as
the protesters have been demanding, Biden said simply
know, the unrest is now threatening to become an
election issue. Young people are a key democratic voting bloc.
Biden needs to listen to what the students are calling for
which is an end to a genocide funded by the United States.
So first things first stop funding Israel's in battleground
Wisconsin, Donald Trump argued Biden should have spoken out
sooner. There's a big fever in our country and he's not talking
but Trump also made this unfounded claim about campus
demonstrators they do come from other countries and
Adam Curry: they are paid unfounded claim really this this
is what broke this whole thing is everyone sees it now.
Everybody sees that half these people aren't at graduated 10
years ago. We get cold Pink Lady. Yeah, Madea she's running
Roman is
John C Dvorak: like she's in their 70s or something she's
posing as
Adam Curry: you can just hire her you're gonna hire her and
all her cronies go anyway. Yeah, hold up the sign. Okay. Donate
No problem. Good pink meanwhile, looks like no deal yet. No deal.
Hamas says What? No deal. No deal. And Bibi says no, yes.
Well, I got a no deal clip. I got an ace no deal.
Unknown: Israel still has its sights on Rafa and we're no
closer to a ceasefire. Hamas has poured cold water on the
optimism surrounding the latest round of talks in Cairo between
their delegation and Qatari Egyptian and American mediators.
The AFP quoted a senior Hamas officials saying there will be
no agreements without a complete cessation of the war and
accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of personally
hindering the deal. The proposal on the table would halt fighting
for 40 days and exchange hostages for Palestinian
prisoners. According to details released by the UK negotiations
are set to continue on Sunday. But Israel is yet to send a
delegation to the Egyptian capitol. late on Friday, US
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said accepting a
ceasefire deal should be a quote, no brainer for her mass.
And the reality in this moment is the only thing standing
between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire
is a mosque protesters kept up the pressure on Netanyahu on
Saturday turning out in their 1000s again in Tel Aviv to
demand the government except to ceasefire deal and secure the
release of the remaining hostages Netanyahu is found not
to stop the war until Hamas is destroyed and faces pressure
from nationalists in his coalition to go ahead with the
offensive against the southern Gaza City of Rafa.
Adam Curry: You know and I think I think the problem is Hamas
doesn't have 33 hostages anymore.
John C Dvorak: I think they're all dead but but that was you
get that clip. That's France 24 Because they get France they
kind of left it. They made it sound as though Blinken set in
negotiations. He's
Adam Curry: not he wasn't even there. Was he in no in fact, I
John C Dvorak: have a clip. This is from Al Jazeera which kind of
brings in very interesting who's actually at these negotiations.
Adam Curry: Let me guess CIA tell me the CIA is there.
John C Dvorak: You nailed it
Adam Curry: well, what's what's the clip what's the clip was
ceasefire
John C Dvorak: delegation. AJ got it.
Unknown: Gaza where the humanitarian situation across
the strip is getting worse by the day there have been more
attacks, more displacements, and more suffering. But diplomatic
efforts to reach a ceasefire deal are ramping up all eyes are
on Cairo on Saturday where Hamas delegation is holding talks with
mediators from Egypt and Qatar, as well as the CIA director,
William.
Adam Curry: Now, we should mention, these talks are taking
place in Egypt. And what neither of these outfits are saying is
Egypt is very key to the resolution of all this, because
we know Egypt has received 7 billion euros from the European
Union to build camps, which will be you know, like, I'm sure it's
like holiday, holiday camps, holiday camps, then they'll open
up their border, which is closed, shot tight, and then
some of them will be migrated into Europe. And I'm pretty sure
that pier that we're building there for humanitarian aid,
that's where people will be able to hop off and get onto a boat
and go to America. So Egypt, Egypt is a big player in this
and it's not really discussed, unless you have something in
this next clip, not
John C Dvorak: about Egypt being a big player, but it finishes
off the thought about we have it's actually this guy, that
guy, the other guy in this our CIA guy, which is like, okay,
yeah,
Unknown: all right. The group says it's studying the latest
Israeli proposal in a positive manner. But sticking points do
remain. Israel wants the return of the captives being held in
Gaza, and Hamas is insisting on a permanent end to the war.
Those talks come as the UN warns that northern Gaza is now
experiencing a full blown famine and moving towards the south,
the head of the World Food Program is urging negotiators to
reach a ceasefire as soon as possible to save lives.
Adam Curry: Ah, do you know who the head of the World Food
Program is?
John C Dvorak: I'm going to find out.
Adam Curry: You'll be surprised you're gonna tell me I hear a
Kobs Here it comes.
Unknown: I just want to be very clear, because what you're
saying is significant. And I believe it's the first time
we've heard it. You're saying there is full blown famine? Yes.
In Northern Gaza? FBF. Yes, I am. And there has not been an
official declaration that there is known but you are saying that
based on what you've seen? Yes, it is. Based on what we've seen
in what we've experienced on the ground. Yes. Which is, it's,
it's hard. It's, you know, it's, it's so hard to look at, and
it's so hard to hear also. So I'm just I'm so hoping that we
can get a ceasefire and, and begin to to feed these people,
especially in the north, in a more in a much faster fashion,
but also including, as I said, water, sanitation, medicine.
It's all part of the famine, the famine issue. And it's also
something that we need to make sure that the world understands
we can't let this happen. It just in this day and age when
the when the world has the ability to feed itself 10 times
over. Nobody should starve. Nobody should starve.
Adam Curry: That was Cindy McCain. Widow of John McCain.
She is the executive director of the food World Food Program.
Keep them busy. Interesting, isn't it? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I have a kind of a side clip is similar that has
something to do with this situation. This is the Houthis
new threat. Have you heard this? No. Okay. The
Unknown: crowd chanting the Red Sea is blocked. The Iran backed
Houthi terrorist group in Yemen has been firing at ships in the
Red Sea that it thinks are headed to Israel as a show of
support for the Palestinian people.
During the rally, a spokesman for the Houthi said that if
Israel proceeds with ground operations in Rafah in the
southern Gaza Strip, then the Houthis would expand their
operations, but it remains unclear exactly how the Houthis
would carry out the threat. Despite that Israel's Prime
Minister says he remains undeterred in achieving Israel's
main objectives in
the war, which are defeating Hamas ensuring Gaza will no
longer be a threat to Israel and returning all the hostages
Adam Curry: are making great efforts. We have already
returned half. And I can tell you that we are determined to
return everyone the ones who are alive as well as the ones who
are dead. Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this. I think they
don't have they don't have the hostages. They don't have and I
think Benjamin not yet Netanyahu is going to get blamed for
dragging his heels. Why you took too long. If he ever comes to a
deal
John C Dvorak: I'm sticking with my thesis you're going to do a
ceasefire and incessantly and they're going to wait, getting
closer to the election, the bracket and then break it
conventions, and then it'll be broken by by the Hamas
terrorists, something will happen. Yeah. And it'll go back
into full blown war and then the protesters can take down to
Democrats at the convention. So
Adam Curry: we've got on the table, we have 40 days of
cessation, which is not long enough for 33 hostages, which is
a magic number. Bringing out Sidney McCain that bugs me. We
had guests so what is she's like? What credit does she have
to become the executive director of the World Food Program?
John C Dvorak: Let's take a look at her bio. And maybe we can
determine which agency she's associated with.
Adam Curry: Taking look at that, and I'm going to play this this
was encouraging to me because I thought when Turkey a would
formerly known as Turkey, and they do this i I'm thinking
they're close to a deal. The complete suspension
Unknown: of trade with Israel, is a significant escalation of
Turkey has diplomatic efforts to pressure Israel, Ankara is
demanding an immediate ceasefire and the free flow of
humanitarian aid into Gaza.
We're taking some commercial measures to force Israel to
increase the amount of humanitarian aid to pass through
and enter Gaza. First, we impose export restrictions on 54
product groups. And as of Thursday, we have stopped export
and import transactions with Israel, covering all products
that we will manage the consequences of these steps
together with our business world. We are not looking for
enmity, and fighting with any country in our region. They tell
me this may cause some troubles. I say that we believe that God
is the only power that can eliminate all troubles, and we
are doing the right thing. When a ceasefire is declared and
enough aid is allowed to enter Gaza, the goal will be achieved.
Adam Curry: I haven't think Turkey wouldn't think they got
enough problems already. So now there's a stopping all trade
they have like they have a lot of
John C Dvorak: I have a little bit of a analysis of what you
just played. Okay. This is the turkey cutting off Israel, this
guy, this is only part of a long tail again, from Al Jazeera. A
long discussion. And this guy makes the claim that Turkey is
taken into shorts for doing this.
Adam Curry: That's what that's why I'm thinking they got to be
close to a deal. Why else would Turkey do this
Unknown: talk he made there, he made it absolutely clear. And
it's not against people said of Israel? Not certainly, but he
single out especially the administration on named Mr.
Netanyahu calling him as an impossible person to deal with.
So until drastic measures taken, the bamboo will continue. So now
I'm sure the loss of revenues in the tourism obvious, very
important, but what would be quite upsetting is that let's
you know, like a Muslim country against the Jewish state type of
thing that will be very wrong because Israeli the tourists
were always welcomed in Turkey. And they're kind of the causing
no danger to them. So they love coming 600,000 people as
mentioned, coming and going. So I think behind it, you know, I
assume especially now the tourism season is approaching
the summer, there will be efforts to probably single up
this particular point. But I'm sure it's going to be a major
line of discussion or important part of this band. But again,
Turkey seems to bear all costs. The decision is there, an
official announced
John C Dvorak: did bear all costs. He also mentioned that
Turkish airways, which by the way is a great carrier, Turkish
airways, it had 15 flights a day going in and out of Israel to
various points and those all been cut offs since the
beginning of this thing and it's costing them an arm and a leg.
That's a big deal. Yeah, so they're losing out the Turks are
losing out. Of course, it's not as though Burdwan has done much
for the economy.
Adam Curry: Hmm, well, maybe maybe we can solve some of this
in the way that that the that Europe likes to operate. Maybe
we can solve this by taking the vote to the people. With the
Eurovision Song Contest united
Unknown: by music. This year's Eurovision slogan couldn't be
further from the truth. The annual feel good celebration is
shrouded by controversy over Israel's participation amid the
war in Gaza. direct threats have been made against a stinger
representing Israel and 1000s are expected to gather in
protest when the event starts
on sugar for producing some quick count on 20 to 40,000
demonstrators coming to Malmo coming from all over Europe. It
will be a very big protests to hold it about 100,000
visitors are expected in Sweden, southwest coast City of Malmo
for the event where the police authorized a Koran burning
demonstration on Friday. In this tense context, security is a top
priority. British police
so there are lots of police on the ground throughout the
reinforcements from all over
events. Another major well conflict is expected to be at
the heart of the event, Ukrainian group Aliona Aliona
and Jerry Hill will be defending the blue and yellow flag. If you
talk a lot about your situation. People hear you so now I feel
that people heard us still now we're here to talk. Yeah, if
they win the deal, say they plan to sell their trophy and donate
the proceeds to the war efforts. Like their predecessors who
raised 900,000 euros in an auction on Facebook.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you this is going to be an interesting
show this year because Malmo is filled with immigrants and their
Brunello is the ground
John C Dvorak: ground ground zero for the Muslims in Sweden?
Yes.
Adam Curry: And then and they just authorize the Quran burning
smart move what yeah, why that's what they just said they just
had it in the beginning. No, I
John C Dvorak: heard that. I'm thinking what are they thinking?
This is like not necessarily a good idea for ratings.
Adam Curry: Are you nuts?
John C Dvorak: Oh, well, they got that idea down. Everybody's
Adam Curry: gonna tune in this year. I can't wait. Who's airing
it this year?
John C Dvorak: Nobody here No, no,
Adam Curry: no, no, no we do we aired here this um, someone
Paramount plus or something. Something that's going out of
business. Did you find out about Cindy, you get any details on
Cindy? Yeah. Is
John C Dvorak: she is rich. Which because she or dad owned
the biggest Budweiser distributor. Oh, so she didn't
even die. She inherited all that money. And she's been one of
those rich liberal fool even though she's the conservative,
technically philanthropist for years and she's I guess she's
been involved with a number of operations that gave her the the
chops to go do this what she's doing money
Adam Curry: money laundering. Just Yes. Just guessing just to
give I
John C Dvorak: think it was she was the Junior Rodeo Queen In
1968 barrel
Adam Curry: barrel. Barrel
John C Dvorak: writer doesn't say
Adam Curry: hey, I got a boots on the ground report from inside
Lockheed Martin. Yes,
John C Dvorak: barrel racer by the barrel racer, thank you.
Adam Curry: boots on the ground from inside Lockheed Martin.
This is the defense industrial base. Lots of money flowing in
and always good to hear from our producers boots on the ground.
They are truly the courageous and get mo nation. We from time
to time get walkthroughs by military brass. Yesterday, it
was what I thought would be the same as usual. The major talk
start as usual, quote, We are safe because of what you build
Blackhawks, yada, yada, yada, and quote, It then took a
serious turn. He went on to say that not only do they expect on
time deliveries, to asking for them to be delivered early. He
said that for the first time in his career. Upper command was
not saying the usual quote, threat of global conflict
existed. Now they're saying it's going to happen soon. Wah wah,
wah wah. But he went on to say that for the first time, the USA
is not the guaranteed Victor, hence the need for faster
deliveries. This is a concerning report. After he was done with
his talk, management asked if anyone had any questions. I
could not let him down or the show. I kind of have a
reputation for asking uncomfortable questions. I
raised my hand and asked why our victory was being questioned. he
rambled about rising powers, destabilize Middle East and all
that. So I looked him in the eye and I simply said, Who? He
returned my gaze, not looking for an Emmy here, but it was
quite intense. He simply said, China. Yeah, I thanked him for
saying it out loud. After this was over, he approached me and
thanked me for the question. He said he isn't allowed to say
China, but he could answer that question. He thought that this
information will be huge. Yes. Because I think this ties in
with the latest Ukraine cash dump. We have billions to spend
now. So yeah, I think that's a very interesting boots on the
ground.
John C Dvorak: We'll see what happens. Well,
Adam Curry: there. It's the pivot towards Indo Pacific.
That's well, there's
John C Dvorak: definitely that and that's no doubt about it.
We'll be building a lot of boats.
Adam Curry: quick little update. He on the big pharma industry.
We've had a lot of heart issues ever since COVID is very
baffling. Jeff Lane is baffling to the medical industry. What
could have changed during COVID? What could it be? Why it's so
hard to understand what could it be? That is causing heart
attacks, particularly young people? Left and Right, we just
don't understand. But luckily, NBC has some answers. For us,
there
Unknown: is more evidence that actual anger is in fact, really
bad for your health.
All right. Previous studies have shown there's a link between
frequent anger and an increased risk of heart attack. But now
there's a new study out in the Journal of the American Heart
Association that is helping explain why that is. Yeah,
so NBC News Medical contributor, Dr. John Torres is here to walk
through it. He's very going to calmly walk us through this. So
actually, if you have an outburst of anger, it shows up
in your heart. It does.
And what we've known is that anger over time, these strong
emotions can really have an effect on your heart increased
risk of heart attack, increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular
issues, but what this study showed is even one episode and
these episodes as they multiply over your life can cause the
impact isn't that one episode can cause similar type
situations, and can you increase your risk? Well, these type of
things, so
does that like, like Rayji, or irritation?
In the study, they had the students looking at a study just
reviewing something that happened in their past that made
them anger. So they were just reliving an angry episode. So it
doesn't necessarily have to be that heavy of an episode. So
if you're in traffic one day, and you're raging and you yell
at your kids later that week, and you're raging and all these
things, is it regime cumulative it
is. It is cumulative. And what happens is, is when this is
happening on the blood level set stage here, so think of it like
a straw, your blood vessels are like a straw that you want them
to be wide, so it's easy to get that fluid through the blood to
get to the organs. When you have an anger episode, those blood
vessels constrict. So it's like a straw, you're trying to get
the same fluids through and it's not working. It's not giving to
the organs, the heart and the brain as well. Plus, if you have
athletic sclerotic plaques, if you have plaques inside there,
they'll break off and that can cause a heart attack or stroke.
on that level when you have that episode, and those can build up
over time.
Adam Curry: I will say that in the in October, it will be 17
years we've done this podcast, I do not think I can remember a
single time that you were mad are Rayji as they say, here at
NBC.
John C Dvorak: I'm happening mad now.
Adam Curry: I don't think I've ever heard. And this is why
you're still with us.
John C Dvorak: It's clear. Yeah, yeah, I think maybe not getting
the VAX is probably more responsive. No, no, no, no, no,
Adam Curry: no, no. What are you saying? Let's talk about how to
handle your anger.
Unknown: Could you raise yourself in one episode and
potentially could you know, if you're young, if you're healthy,
and you have these raging anger episodes, it's probably not a
big deal. At that time. If you're older and you have one
issue, we've all seen the movies where somebody attacks attacked
over time, these could cumulate and these could cause problems.
And that's what the researchers are saying.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, that's how to handle you're angry. This
is a short clip. This is how you hide you. How do you handle your
anger? How do we do it?
Unknown: How do you get anger out? What's
Adam Curry: the best way so how do you get anger out? How do we
get it out?
Unknown: Get it out of my heart and the best thing is just to
use these calming techniques and they sound cliche, and the
biggest one my wife taught me this you know breathing
exercises into the nose out to the mouth they help it really I
can't I can't
Adam Curry: stand this breathing you know, how
John C Dvorak: about the heavy bag
Adam Curry: it's so it's so unbelievable, that it is
believable. And then I'll just wind up with believing this
totally believe I wind up with this. And now as far as we know
the only countries where you can advertise direct to consumer for
pharmaceutical products is the United States and New Zealand I
do you not think Canada allows this but the CBC, I mean every
everything is so corrupt. They they had someone sent me three
different pieces, all the same the imagery, you know injecting
into your leg the same girl the same story because fear not
Canadians, even though this is not a commercial you know as
well can get the weight loss shot. Canadian
Unknown: struggling with obesity will have a new treatment option
next week. The makers of ozempic say their weight loss drug would
govi will be available in Canada starting Monday. Bamford has
more on the risks and the rewards
Adam Curry: are different. What happened to benefits? It's not
just a risk, it's a reward now, risk and rewards Hey, I got a
reward for taking this medication and the rewards
Unknown: a different name with different packaging but experts
say we'll go V is essentially a drug Canadians already had
access to will
go Mi is ozempic and Mozambique is This whole coffee I love
Adam Curry: this. So just so you know, it's the same product as
the one you've been hearing about from the Kardashians so
you can take this it's ozempic don't worry it says we'll go we
but it's so what you're
John C Dvorak: saying is that this is a native ad which is
should be illegal in Canada completely
Unknown: ins already had access to will go
V is ozempic and ozempic is will go V will go V
is classified as an anti obesity medication. ozempic is a type
two diabetes drug both contain the molecule semaglutide. It
helps us with feeling fuller
longer, and helps her brain understand that we're in good
health Canada approved will go vie for weight loss back in
2021. But ongoing supply shortages made it unavailable to
Canadians, which is why doctors commonly prescribed ozempic as
an off label drug for obesity management. Now with a drug
labeled for obesity, many hope it improves access for patients
who really need it. Hopefully
the bias around prescribing a medication for weight management
changes.
Adam Curry: That's the marketing lady. She's literally saying,
hey, hopefully the bias against prescribing this
John C Dvorak: so I'm gonna stop you again. Yeah, what you're
doing is playing what appears to be a native ad for drugs. In
Canada, which should be illegal on the CBC
Unknown: doctors warn against using these types of drugs for
cosmetic purposes. But experts say the class of medication has
been around for 20 years to be safe for those taking it as a
long term obesity medication. Novo Nordisk the maker of the
drugs plans to ramp up production as well go v makes
its way to Canada Monday. While there are other anti obesity
drugs. Some doctors say this one opens the door for cheaper, more
effective treatments down the line. Alison Bamford, CTV News,
Regina.
Adam Curry: I always had to leave the Regina and it just
just makes
Unknown: me laugh. Yeah, rhymes with always makes me laugh. So
yeah,
Adam Curry: it's good. It'd be oh, this been a it's been
approved in Canada for three years. But it's coming. It's
coming. We got a new shipment. It's in it's coming in. It's
good. We're all good to go.
John C Dvorak: Well, that was depressing.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my son moved by Jonah to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be
fun.

never got around to claiming his knighthood as it didn't know as
he didn't know his ring size. Now we do have a handy ring
sizing guide and no agenda rings.com So I guess he's
figured it all out and he wants his night name to be sir Waldo
of the lake of lower Alabama. And he wants he wants our Burg

John C Dvorak: gonna wrap it to good news is today but why
Adam Curry: don't you just split it up with a good news jingle in
between. And we're gonna No,
John C Dvorak: no, no stop after the first one. Now the reason I
this one I just wanted it was it was for last week's show. And I
liked the story so much, but it was botched by the producers in
the room in the room there when they got into their little
editing suite and they cut their kid off and they cut the end off
and just a mess. But I liked it so much as a basic story. So the
short end is super short. And I want to play this is about a
little kid who was buying the school lunches for everybody
else in the school that couldn't afford him because they didn't
have the money or whatever. It just is a great story.
Unknown: We fifth grader in Missouri is raising money to pay
our fellow students lunch debts.
It's important for kids to eat like I don't think they can make
it through the day without eating a school. 111
year old Deacon Kramer has raised close to $1,000. So far,
the school doesn't deny any children launch but that has led
to a lot of unpaid bills. Kramer has made it his mission to raise
as much as he can before he heads off to middle school in
less than two weeks. Ah,
Adam Curry: where was this? Where was this? Where did this
good news take place?
John C Dvorak: That's a good question in the Midwest
somewhere,
Adam Curry: of course not
John C Dvorak: in the city. That question wasn't in Nottingham,
here we go. Here's the here's the highlight. Good news day.
This is a dog for a dog that somehow was in a hole just
abandoned in the mountains and they found him and brought it
back to health and shot him a shot of lashing dogs story.
Unknown: New intent a dog is lucky to be alive after being
found stranded on Lookout Mountain in Phoenix. The Arizona
humane society says that back on April 24. They got a call about
a two year old sharpei mix, who was hiding in a small cutout on
the side of the mountain. When rescue crews got there. They say
that the pup was dangerously dehydrated, and may not have
survived much longer if she wasn't found. Officials say that
she was scared but was open to receiving help from rescue
crews.
Honestly, she was too weak. She just did not want to walk at
all. So we did kind of funky crazy holder like a baby sort of
situation. And she actually really just relaxed and seemed
to enjoy being carried down the mountain. But it was a very
teeny tiny rocky trail that was pretty slick. And so Tracy and I
took turns carrying her down the mountain and she was just an
absolute angel. She knew we were getting her to safety and then
we got her into our trauma hospital at the Arizona humane
society.
She does look so sweet and calm while the pup was treated by
staff at the Humane Society and we're told that she's doing
really well now. She earned the name bright eyes since the
person who found her only happened to see her due to those
amber eyes that were reflecting behind her hiding spot.
She's a gorgeous gorgeous one. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: this is one of those this is an abandoned COVID
dog the way I see it Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, bright eyes is not a good name for dog though
because that reminds me of Watership Down where they shoot
the mom you know you don't know Watership Down you remember that
Disney movie with it? When they shoot the mom killed? No.
John C Dvorak: That was like depressing films.
Adam Curry: It was a kid movie is what traumatized millions of
objects around the country around the world. That's it for
no agenda for today. Thank you all very much in the troll room

So many students, this is about much more than cars. It's about
policing, too.
And so at a certain point, the National Guard came in and clear

were actually stabbed.
