I guess. 27 00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:21,480 John C Dvorak: This should get a lot of attention for some 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,740 unknown reason. That's 29 00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:28,650 Adam Curry: true. It's true. Oh, man, so great week so far. It's 30 00:01:28,650 --> 00:01:34,020 been fantastic. Except for Tina Turner dying. She was sick for a 31 00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:36,450 long time. But then really, I had I had 32 00:01:36,929 --> 00:01:38,969 John C Dvorak: to be pretty spry in her 80s. 33 00:01:39,509 --> 00:01:42,239 Adam Curry: Well, she she had a serious illness. She had all 34 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,049 kinds of problems, man, she that was a nice lady. I had a lot of 35 00:01:46,049 --> 00:01:47,039 fun times with her. 36 00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:48,629 John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh. 37 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,780 Adam Curry: Should I tell you one? Should I tell you a fun 38 00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:57,150 time? Go for it. Okay. So she came this is when I was in 39 00:01:57,150 --> 00:02:01,320 Holland. This is how far back a relationship goes. And she came 40 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,530 to think she was doing a concert. Yeah, I'm pretty sure 41 00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:10,770 she's doing concert. And and this is that, like 84. Um, so as 42 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,110 as one does, of course, you're coming to the Netherlands and 43 00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:17,250 the top Record Retailer has to have attention. Because you 44 00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:20,700 know, that's how it works. Just the way it used to work. Now the 45 00:02:20,730 --> 00:02:24,840 number one guy in retail, you gotta you gotta kiss his ass. So 46 00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:28,740 the record company set up this special lunch for this guy who 47 00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:35,460 was a real farmer. I mean, this he spoke farmer English. He was 48 00:02:35,460 --> 00:02:39,150 just he was a real have to, it's hard to explain but in Holland 49 00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:41,880 people understand when I say it was a real farmer just a real 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,770 like a redneck, basically. And so and they invited me because 51 00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:50,040 she was going to be on my show to interviewer and it's 52 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,790 basically it's us in this restaurant eating at a table at 53 00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:58,140 this guy presenting this huge, ugly, triple platinum piece of 54 00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:00,780 crap that you know, you can't take back with you. You know, 55 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:04,830 it's just one of those horrible music industry things. And he 56 00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:10,050 starts off by Yes. I'm so happy here to have tiny Turner beats 57 00:03:10,050 --> 00:03:14,580 us today and in you could just see everyone cringing, but no 58 00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:18,240 one dared say like, Dude, it's Tina Turner. Tiny Turner has 59 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,140 says sold so many records here in the lowlands to be lifted 60 00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:27,030 very, very much. And she was just in I looked at her because 61 00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:29,760 I was sitting across from her. Like, I'm so sorry about this. 62 00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:33,000 This is welcome to The Netherlands. And she was so 63 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,290 proper and this was in her. Think Beyond Thunderdome. Danes 64 00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:40,410 remember when she came back from England? named Tina Turner talk 65 00:03:40,410 --> 00:03:44,850 like this. Remember that? She got all thunder Domi. No. 66 00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:48,510 Anyway, once the chicken arrived I know it sounds racist. But man 67 00:03:48,510 --> 00:03:52,350 Annie, Annie Mae Bullock when she dove right into the chicken 68 00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:55,260 where their hands screw the cutlery. And we had a great 69 00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:59,130 lunch. And many, many laughs ensued over the douchebag. 70 00:03:59,970 --> 00:04:03,120 Anyway, just one of the many fun moments with Tina Turner 71 00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:07,200 John C Dvorak: and her them to the trophy. I'm sure it 72 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,230 Adam Curry: got left behind at the record company. No one wants 73 00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:13,860 that stuff in their home. It's not a trophy. It's one of those. 74 00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:21,330 It's like four feet long and has for your wall. Yeah, no, I don't 75 00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:24,360 know if got it even I don't have the four foot long one up. But 76 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,920 yeah, I put it in the garage actually 77 00:04:26,430 --> 00:04:29,250 John C Dvorak: decided knew how to stop the car. 78 00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:33,060 Adam Curry: New house. I decided not to put any of that in the 79 00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:36,000 house. It's in the garage, kind of like a Pennzoil sign. That's 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,590 where I got all that stuff. And then I went up to Beck in Dallas 81 00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:42,660 Tuesday. 82 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:45,540 John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah, that go. 83 00:04:46,050 --> 00:04:48,840 Adam Curry: I think it went really well.

We never intended for it to happen. 134 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,480 John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. And of course, we have to recognize 135 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,120 the fact that this same storyline has been around for 136 00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:09,360 since the 50s. Maybe even earlier.

This morning. 213 00:12:00,510 --> 00:12:03,420 Unknown: A new look at the potential impact of AI generated 214 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:06,540 images after a fake picture appeared to rattle Wall Street 215 00:12:06,630 --> 00:12:09,270 a simple AI generated fake image. 216 00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:12,570 Adam Curry: I love how they say appeared to rattle Wall Street 217 00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:13,680 that's a good watch is 218 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,290 Unknown: after a fake picture appeared to rattle Wall Street 219 00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:20,730 as simple AI generated fake image sparked about a $100 220 00:12:20,730 --> 00:12:22,770 billion stock market move. 221 00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:26,010 Yesterday. Numerous Twitter accounts shared this fake image 222 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,160 showing smoke billowing near a white building, leading some to 223 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,100 believe an explosion occurred near the Pentagon when in fact 224 00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:35,160 no such incident took place. While ABC News has not 225 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,310 determined the source, the image contains the hallmarks of being 226 00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:41,130 made with artificial intelligence. There are 227 00:12:41,130 --> 00:12:44,700 three fingers everywhere talk all the time about social media 228 00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:48,090 platforms. Every story is flattened. You can't tell where 229 00:12:48,090 --> 00:12:49,950 it comes from or who is producing it. This is the 230 00:12:49,950 --> 00:12:50,970 perfect case in point 231 00:12:51,030 --> 00:12:55,080 the image was first posted on Twitter at 8:42am at 1003. A 232 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,050 Russian state controlled news out oh we did the image to its 233 00:12:58,050 --> 00:13:01,050 millions of followers. The stock market took a dip over the next 234 00:13:01,050 --> 00:13:04,260 several minutes until 1009. When authorities made it I think what 235 00:13:04,260 --> 00:13:06,210 Adam Curry: they're talking about is the fact that RT ran a 236 00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:09,750 story on this and so that is now categorized as a Russian state 237 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:12,360 media outlet instead of just saying RT 238 00:13:12,390 --> 00:13:14,640 Unknown: Russian state controlled news outlet tweeted 239 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,550 the image to its millions of followers. The stock market took 240 00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:20,460 a dip over the next several minutes until 1009. When 241 00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:23,580 authorities made it clear there was no explosion. Experts have 242 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:27,240 warned of hyper realistic fake images deceiving people online 243 00:13:27,270 --> 00:13:30,570 as the accessibility of AI powered tools grows. This is 244 00:13:30,570 --> 00:13:31,140 only 245 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:34,710 a smallest effect that can only grow. What we're seeing today is 246 00:13:34,740 --> 00:13:38,250 only a small example of what is to come as this grows in 247 00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:38,970 complexity 248 00:13:39,090 --> 00:13:42,240 industry leaders have pointed to AI is ability to solve problems 249 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,270 quickly and the technology has already contributed to medical 250 00:13:45,270 --> 00:13:49,560 research. But last week, Sam Altman, the CEO of open AI urged 251 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:52,230 lawmakers to act quickly to regulate artificial 252 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:53,790 intelligence. My worst 253 00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:56,790 fears are that we caused significant we the field the 254 00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:59,970 technology industry caused significant harm to the world. 255 00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:02,880 Many of the Twitter accounts that spread the hoax carry blue 256 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,940 checkmarks which previously meant the accounts were verified 257 00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,730 but under new owner Elon Musk, Twitter now gives a blue check 258 00:14:08,730 --> 00:14:10,830 to any account that pays a monthly fee. 259 00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:13,800 Adam Curry: This is a great multi layered report that ABC 260 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,490 brought us we get to slam Elon Musk with his his blue 261 00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:21,750 checkmarks not being official not being checked, like really 262 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:27,420 verified. We get to slam Russia. Somehow we get to hype up the 263 00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:32,010 the great Sam Altman, the altruistic douchebag de jure 264 00:14:32,220 --> 00:14:36,330 who, by the way, a chat GPT his outfit is coming to smartphones, 265 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,820 you know, so they're releasing an app Oh, I'm sure he really 266 00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:43,890 wants to halt everything. No. But what this is is so obvious. 267 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,380 And we could have done this. I'm kicking myself. The algorithmic 268 00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:53,700 not AI but the algorithmic trading. The algorithms on Wall 269 00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,870 Street have been trained to take a look to be watching Twitter 270 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,400 for positive and negative stories. So of course, someone 271 00:15:02,430 --> 00:15:07,290 sets a whole bunch of a whole bunch of shorts in place, and, 272 00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:11,430 and then releases some AI image. And I'm just not that I'm 273 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:14,010 wanting once it gets into the right spot, and you get a couple 274 00:15:14,010 --> 00:15:18,090 buddies to retweet it. And that starts to go viral, and then the 275 00:15:18,090 --> 00:15:20,760 stock started to start and start to go down. This was a genius 276 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,460 move. So all ABC didn't catch that part of it. That it's not 277 00:15:26,460 --> 00:15:30,990 Russia, the states traders, so it's obvious. 278 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,100 John C Dvorak: Well, it's definitely a way to make a quick 279 00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,630 buck in one day. Yeah, 280 00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:38,340 Adam Curry: I don't think I don't think they can repeat and 281 00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:40,650 maybe they can maybe can do it over and over again. 282 00:15:41,790 --> 00:15:44,220 John C Dvorak: We'll have to see why. We have to do it offshore. 283 00:15:44,220 --> 00:15:45,330 You're gonna get in trouble if 284 00:15:46,050 --> 00:15:49,350 Adam Curry: Daniel, hence the RT, RT, RT you get RT? 285 00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:51,480 John C Dvorak: And I've always felt that if you listen to the 286 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,300 show anyone listen to the show over the years. I've always felt 287 00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:57,780 that Putin was a stock market. Stock guy. 288 00:15:57,780 --> 00:16:02,370 Adam Curry: Sure. Yeah. Well, there you go. NBC didn't, 289 00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:05,610 wouldn't you be? NBC did a report on this as well. It was 290 00:16:05,610 --> 00:16:07,410 big news was really huge. 291 00:16:07,439 --> 00:16:10,859 Unknown: A viral fake picture followed by a real dip in the 292 00:16:10,859 --> 00:16:11,819 markets Monday, 293 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:14,970 the Dow now down about 200 points, the s&p is down about a 294 00:16:14,970 --> 00:16:16,230 quarter of a percent right now. 295 00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:19,980 The fabricated photo posted to social media seeming to show a 296 00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:23,400 fiery explosion near the Pentagon experts say most likely 297 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,410 made using artificial intelligence 298 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,130 Adam Curry: about Photoshop, Photoshop could 299 00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:34,440 John C Dvorak: do this better. Take days you could do the 300 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,370 Photoshop in just a few minutes, cut and paste and it's just like 301 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:41,250 this is the part of the story I don't get. 302 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Adam Curry: Because it doesn't a blockchain, just new block likes 303 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:49,020 new blockchain is caused by block blockchain. Blockchain is 304 00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:49,650 gonna kill us 305 00:16:49,650 --> 00:16:52,620 Unknown: say most likely made using artificial intelligence. 306 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:55,980 Look closely see how the grass blends into the concrete here. 307 00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,310 Part of that black pole disappears behind this barrier. 308 00:16:59,460 --> 00:17:01,830 And the fence itself looks off. 309 00:17:01,860 --> 00:17:04,320 Adam Curry: Can you see the hole there? Yeah, apparently a jet 310 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,660 went in there. And there should be luggage all over the lawn. 311 00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:09,180 And why is that lamppost still standing? Where was that 312 00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:11,340 analysis NBC, all of us, 313 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,650 Unknown: both within the DOD and I'm sure in the journalism 314 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,740 journalistic community have to take a look at these things and 315 00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:18,960 make sure we get the facts before we make assumptions. 316 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,290 Yeah, 317 00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:22,499 experts and officials debunks the photo within minutes, but it 318 00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:26,069 only took seconds to spread fast retweeted by a Russian 319 00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:29,309 propaganda outlet shared by another account with a million 320 00:17:29,309 --> 00:17:32,579 plus followers and rocketing its way towards Wall Street. 321 00:17:32,610 --> 00:17:35,610 Adam Curry: Why don't they identify these entities? What is 322 00:17:35,610 --> 00:17:38,880 wrong? What is what is wrong with identifying which accounts 323 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,640 actually did this? This is the baffling part to 324 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,340 Unknown: me part of the problem. The fake image was retweeted by 325 00:17:44,340 --> 00:17:47,610 accounts with blue checkmark pudding one pretending to be 326 00:17:47,610 --> 00:17:51,060 Bloomberg News has been suspended. Blue checks on 327 00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:53,160 Twitter used to be in the account really? 328 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,370 John C Dvorak: This is good. I forgot that that's true is part 329 00:17:56,370 --> 00:18:01,590 of the story. Some bonehead just call himself Bloomberg News. 330 00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:09,090 Unknown: No checks on Twitter used to mean the account really 331 00:18:09,090 --> 00:18:13,560 is who it says it is. But not anymore. Experts warn this may 332 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,780 not be an isolated incident for long. 333 00:18:16,170 --> 00:18:19,560 I think this is the canary in the coal mine. We are going to 334 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,110 see more disinformation, more fraud. And we are almost 335 00:18:22,110 --> 00:18:24,180 certainly going to see this interfering with our elections 336 00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:24,780 in 2020. 337 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,250 Companies are rolling out plans to put digital fingerprints on 338 00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:32,760 pictures. So it's easier to tell what's fake and what's not like 339 00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:36,150 Adobe today announcing it'll integrate AI into Photoshop. 340 00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:41,130 Adam Curry: Oh, that'll help that. Do to make it to make it 341 00:18:41,130 --> 00:18:44,850 easier. But I think the point here is from a government 342 00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:47,940 standpoint, now we've got all we need rules and regulations 343 00:18:47,940 --> 00:18:50,310 around this new blockchain. Yeah, you know what this is 344 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:54,960 going to lead to online identity laws. That's why they bringing 345 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,100 the Twitter checkmark. So now whenever you post anything 346 00:18:59,130 --> 00:19:03,720 anywhere, this will cope with some cockamamie cockamamie law. 347 00:19:04,290 --> 00:19:07,110 That Whoa, you can't be online without 348 00:19:07,140 --> 00:19:09,030 John C Dvorak: it. I've been trying to do this for a while 349 00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:09,300 here. 350 00:19:10,139 --> 00:19:12,479 Adam Curry: I know but here it is. You go online, you'll have 351 00:19:12,479 --> 00:19:16,409 to identify digital identity. Yes, this is problem reaction 352 00:19:16,409 --> 00:19:17,429 solution. Beautiful. 353 00:19:17,909 --> 00:19:20,339 John C Dvorak: They won't pull it off. They've been trying to 354 00:19:20,339 --> 00:19:21,269 try it. And this 355 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:23,400 Adam Curry: has not worked much saying they'll pull it off. But 356 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,230 they're going to try but they've been 357 00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:27,360 John C Dvorak: tricked by and they've been trying for at least 358 00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:29,820 10 years maybe longer. Probably 20. I'm just 359 00:19:30,690 --> 00:19:33,840 Adam Curry: Yes, of course. But that's the beauty of it all. 360 00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:38,940 That's the beauty of it all. We got to we got a lot of boots on 361 00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:41,910 the ground reports for today's show got a dude named Ben 362 00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:46,020 anonymous, of course, boots on the ground report about how AI 363 00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:49,920 is being used in the IT software testing industry. I'm a manager 364 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,400 for a global software testing company. We recently introduced 365 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,010 a couple of new testing tools and strategies to pitch to new 366 00:19:56,010 --> 00:19:59,040 and current clients. A lot of it is your typical run of the mill 367 00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:02,670 it QA Software Testing nonsense. However, something I stumbled 368 00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:05,820 onto the other day, they are now selling themselves as the 369 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:10,530 world's leading AI powered quality engineering company. So, 370 00:20:10,530 --> 00:20:14,910 of course, he looks into this machine learning based testing 371 00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:18,690 recommendation they are selling to their clients. And he says 372 00:20:18,690 --> 00:20:21,510 the problem is well, and the reason why I'm bringing this to 373 00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:25,830 you because in the great words of John C Dvorak, it's a scam. 374 00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:31,290 This grand new tool is just a spreadsheet with a bunch of 375 00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:35,550 formulas and macros. And he actually sent us the spreadsheet 376 00:20:35,580 --> 00:20:39,540 so we could have this AI for ourselves. And this is their 377 00:20:39,570 --> 00:20:41,910 what they're known as an AI 378 00:20:42,090 --> 00:20:46,200 John C Dvorak: blockchain, a blockchain a testing tool, where 379 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,020 they combined their AI and blockchain now you're talking 380 00:20:49,050 --> 00:20:53,250 Adam Curry: I don't know I mean, ever since. SPX and Backman. 381 00:20:53,250 --> 00:20:56,730 Freud thing is, what's his name? What's up with him? When is he 382 00:20:56,730 --> 00:20:57,570 going to jail? 383 00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:01,020 John C Dvorak: He's hanging around the house. stinking up 384 00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:04,050 the place. He's to go to Jake has showered good. 385 00:21:04,290 --> 00:21:08,460 Adam Curry: I am sad. Because of all this AI nonsense. My 386 00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:13,050 favorite pay for search engine is going out of business. Yes, 387 00:21:13,050 --> 00:21:15,330 it went out of business. Yeah, it's shutting down the end of 388 00:21:15,330 --> 00:21:18,150 this month. Neva, I'm very sad about that. A lot 389 00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:19,620 John C Dvorak: of people are irked about it. They've just 390 00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:23,310 been writing in I already noticed it on the no agenda, a 391 00:21:23,310 --> 00:21:26,940 social complaint. They said, Well, I took Adams advice. And 392 00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:28,110 this is what I got. And now 393 00:21:28,110 --> 00:21:30,780 Adam Curry: that's not quite the message they're sending. I 394 00:21:30,780 --> 00:21:31,260 thought that was 395 00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:31,860 John C Dvorak: the message. 396 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,870 Adam Curry: But what what I what that kind of makes me think is 397 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,480 yeah, this AI nonsense the idea that you can type in a natural 398 00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:46,950 language query ie enlish and type a question or fill in your 399 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:50,790 native language here and get back and answer is kill is 400 00:21:50,790 --> 00:21:53,310 killing Google's own search business. No one wants to do 401 00:21:53,310 --> 00:21:56,370 that anymore. Everybody will want to have this and Neva 402 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,980 clearly a small company. You know, they tried to do it 403 00:21:58,980 --> 00:22:02,790 without advertising by asking people to pay $5 a month. They 404 00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:06,720 couldn't afford it because it's unaffordable. You can't have 405 00:22:07,230 --> 00:22:09,900 generally gotta say generative now that's what all that's what 406 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:16,590 CMBC says. All generative AI, which is more like a good word 407 00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:21,540 centralized blockchain. Generative AI. It's too 408 00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:25,620 expensive. Just can't handle the loads. So we'll see how that 409 00:22:25,620 --> 00:22:26,070 goes. 410 00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:28,530 John C Dvorak: And then wait for your phone. 411 00:22:29,730 --> 00:22:34,920 Adam Curry: Oh, don't you It's coming. It's coming. You want to 412 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,180 do so you want to change topics? 413 00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:39,420 John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'm going to talk about killing the poor. 414 00:22:41,220 --> 00:22:42,600 Adam Curry: only happens in Canada. 415 00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:45,750 John C Dvorak: No, I'm gonna show you I'm gonna prove you 416 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:49,680 wrong. Oh, okay. Let's play the Canada clip first. This is from 417 00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:53,130 I believe a CBC and this is the interview with a poor guy who is 418 00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:55,290 going to get thrown out in the streets and he just decided to 419 00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:59,460 hell with it. I'm too old and sick to live on the streets. 420 00:23:00,210 --> 00:23:03,180 They're gonna kick me out of my place so I'm signing up for the 421 00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:07,560 maid program ma ID the medically assisted 422 00:23:08,190 --> 00:23:12,390 Adam Curry: death induced death I think medically medically 423 00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:17,010 assisted to do Yeah, induced death. Wow. So All right here we 424 00:23:17,310 --> 00:23:19,290 John C Dvorak: made that I like to where they use that when 425 00:23:19,290 --> 00:23:20,700 Canada made guy. 426 00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:23,820 Unknown: Aamir far sued has applied for medically assisted 427 00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:27,900 dying known as made he lives in constant agony due to a back 428 00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:31,230 injury but it started the process for end of life because 429 00:23:31,230 --> 00:23:34,320 his rooming house is up for sale and he can't find anywhere else 430 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,700 to live that he can afford 431 00:23:35,850 --> 00:23:38,340 Adam Curry: a second I don't understand something the acronym 432 00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:43,260 is made and she says medically assisted dying well this is what 433 00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:46,950 is the i What is the I happen in there just to make a cool 434 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:47,640 acronym. 435 00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:50,760 John C Dvorak: I think so. But it could have been somebody I 436 00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:52,740 don't know come up with something but yeah, it's a cool 437 00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:53,970 acronym. Get it 438 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,810 Unknown: made. Amira far sued has applied for medically 439 00:23:57,810 --> 00:24:02,010 assisted dying known as made. He lives in constant agony due to a 440 00:24:02,010 --> 00:24:05,670 back injury but it started the process for end of life because 441 00:24:05,670 --> 00:24:08,760 his rooming house is up for sale and he can't find anywhere else 442 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,480 to live that he can afford. He barely survives on Ontario 443 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,260 Disability Support payments, which are just over $1,200 a 444 00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:20,100 month. He doesn't want to die. But being homeless is not an 445 00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,610 option. I know in my present health condition I would survive 446 00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:27,510 it anyway. Far sued meets the criteria for made physical 447 00:24:27,510 --> 00:24:31,980 suffering due to disability that cannot be relieved. His doctor 448 00:24:32,010 --> 00:24:35,340 who knows our suits real reason for made is his fear of being 449 00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:39,240 homeless signed off on the application in August for sued 450 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,170 needs a second to do the same. There's a 90 day waiting period 451 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,040 he believes he could potentially access made in about a month. 452 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,750 Adam Curry: I don't wish to be dead. Even with the pain even 453 00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:54,900 with the meds. What does he say at the end that I couldn't hear 454 00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:55,020 it? 455 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,020 John C Dvorak: He died doe wish to be dead even with the pain 456 00:24:58,050 --> 00:25:01,050 even with the meds you say I don't wish to He did. No he 457 00:25:01,050 --> 00:25:03,600 doesn't want to be dead. Well then why is he going to get 458 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,110 made? Because he doesn't want to be homeless more than he doesn't 459 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:07,980 want to be dead. 460 00:25:08,730 --> 00:25:11,970 Adam Curry: Wow. Well homeless sucks. 461 00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:17,549 John C Dvorak: Here we go is from one of our local my with 462 00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:20,909 northwest.com. During the city council committee during this 463 00:25:20,909 --> 00:25:25,319 week, Seattle City Council woman, Sarah Nelson questioned a 464 00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:28,619 group of public health workers that the city funds to tackle 465 00:25:28,619 --> 00:25:34,019 the Fentanyl crisis. What are they being used for but as as 466 00:25:34,019 --> 00:25:37,979 the fatal overdoses soar to historic highs in Seattle, the 467 00:25:37,979 --> 00:25:40,919 city and King County are not pushing treatment for addicts. 468 00:25:41,009 --> 00:25:45,029 Instead, they're using a harm reduction model that seeks to 469 00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:50,339 make drug use safer by handing out needles, pipes, pipes, 470 00:25:50,339 --> 00:25:54,629 pipes, and other tools to enable the addict to continue abusing 471 00:25:54,629 --> 00:25:57,629 drugs and they're now acknowledging treatment is not 472 00:25:57,629 --> 00:26:03,899 part of their goals. This is a this is part of the an effort by 473 00:26:04,019 --> 00:26:10,199 the cities to Democrat run cities I had to say to kill off 474 00:26:10,589 --> 00:26:14,819 their homeless that this is a this is a murder mechanism.

Fentanyl seems to 488 00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:51,870 be killing our people just fine. 489 00:26:51,870 --> 00:26:53,850 John C Dvorak: I mean, and nobody's doing anything.

But 542 00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:53,580 what's interesting, you know, we're one of the two countries 543 00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:56,970 in the world where where you can now this is Chicago. I'm sorry, 544 00:29:56,970 --> 00:29:58,050 not San Francisco. 545 00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:04,980 Unknown: This is Chicago. Those Very Own WGN News Nine. Local 546 00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:07,680 Group belonging to the Satanic Temple is suing the city of 547 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,370 Chicago block club Chicago reports members allege City 548 00:30:11,370 --> 00:30:14,700 Council isn't allowing them to say Hail Satan at council 549 00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,730 meetings. group's leader says dozens of religious groups have 550 00:30:17,730 --> 00:30:20,700 given invocations in front of city council since they asked to 551 00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:23,550 give one four and a half years ago. He says that violates their 552 00:30:23,550 --> 00:30:26,460 First Amendment rights. The Satanic Temple is a federally 553 00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:28,950 recognized religion with congregations across the 554 00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:33,570 country. But dynamite There you go. 555 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,120 Adam Curry: I think they should I think they should be allowed 556 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,380 to say it so that we can identify them. I think I agree. 557 00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:45,570 Yeah, do that.

I mean, it's all it's so obvious what's going on. And 565 00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:18,090 of course, the news can't report on it. That's why it's so 566 00:31:18,090 --> 00:31:21,510 brilliant. When you when you watch Australian television as 567 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:22,170 an example, 568 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,160 Unknown: back on his feet after a harrowing ordeal, all I did 569 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,880 was go and take a vaccine.

But 595 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,870 Adam Curry: in the UK, where people are clearly trending 596 00:33:03,870 --> 00:33:07,800 towards obesity because of their incredibly poor diet. That 597 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,460 really is because of poor availability of good food. But 598 00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:15,420 also they drink like fish, as well. And there's there's 599 00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:18,060 evidence that a lot of their obesity comes from drinking. 600 00:33:18,270 --> 00:33:23,310 They're putting ozempic or something like it on the NHS, 601 00:33:23,370 --> 00:33:29,730 she can get it for five bucks. pounds.

And if you look at Yahoo Finance, you know, 654 00:36:31,830 --> 00:36:36,270 finance, you will see that this LGBTQ controversy is hitting the 655 00:36:36,270 --> 00:36:39,150 financial news. But the real problem is not just the 656 00:36:39,150 --> 00:36:43,020 marketing of met Alex Stein, you know, Alex nine, the guy who 657 00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:47,460 goes to all of the all of the council meetings, and pretends 658 00:36:47,460 --> 00:36:51,330 to be LTI guy who's the best. So he went into Target, and he put 659 00:36:51,330 --> 00:36:53,760 on one of these tuck bathing suits. And he came out of the 660 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,130 dressing room, and he's talking to the staff like, Oh, it's so 661 00:36:56,130 --> 00:36:58,950 great. Look, you can't you can't even see it. I haven't it was 662 00:36:59,490 --> 00:37:05,940 completely insane. Guys, so funny.

And now 667 00:37:21,510 --> 00:37:25,260 you've got to see as she did, she got basically that's what 668 00:37:25,260 --> 00:37:29,310 she did. And now the CEO of target. He did an interview on a 669 00:37:29,310 --> 00:37:34,290 podcast, I might point out, saying, Oh, this is great for 670 00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:38,490 our brand. Yeah, yeah, we love that so so this is the mistake 671 00:37:38,490 --> 00:37:42,420 they make and now what's going to happen is you have people who 672 00:37:42,420 --> 00:37:45,720 do not like this they don't like their kids being literally 673 00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:51,000 targeted in this way. And you can just count on it that the 674 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,660 trans community is going to boycott target as well for not 675 00:37:54,660 --> 00:37:56,040 standing their ground. 676 00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:58,860 John C Dvorak: Yes, it's it's a classic and it's a beautiful 677 00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:02,070 maneuver and I'd have to say my thinking as you know, as you 678 00:38:02,070 --> 00:38:05,190 know exactly what I'm going to say the idea is to slam the 679 00:38:05,190 --> 00:38:10,020 stock and there will be a trigger Yeah. When do you buy 680 00:38:10,020 --> 00:38:13,350 back that you buy back if you're going to trade and this is not 681 00:38:13,350 --> 00:38:17,100 an investment advice at all this is this is an observation I'm 682 00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:21,420 making because this is too fishy.

No, no, 713 00:40:09,210 --> 00:40:10,110 Adam Curry: that's something else. 714 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:12,480 John C Dvorak: That was just a money manager. Yeah. 715 00:40:13,470 --> 00:40:16,650 Adam Curry: We got a I mean, again, a whole bunch too many to 716 00:40:16,650 --> 00:40:22,050 even read a lot of boots on the ground reports and this one I 717 00:40:22,050 --> 00:40:27,990 just have to share from Dame Jamie of the highway. And I put 718 00:40:27,990 --> 00:40:31,770 Dame Jamie's whole note in there. But I was told I could 719 00:40:31,770 --> 00:40:35,130 just route around. John out of my thought was time to give a 720 00:40:35,130 --> 00:40:37,410 boots on the ground report a few things that have been discussed 721 00:40:37,410 --> 00:40:39,570 on the show a little background about myself, I was assigned 722 00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:42,780 male at birth, I've been gender dysphoric my entire life. I was 723 00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:45,540 officially diagnosed in the late 80s. And I formally transitioned 724 00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:50,070 to female in 2003, at the ripe old age of 40. Which I think you 725 00:40:50,070 --> 00:40:52,890 and I both think it's fine. You do whatever you want. 726 00:40:53,550 --> 00:40:57,330 John C Dvorak: Yeah, you're way past the age of consent. Yes. 727 00:40:57,330 --> 00:40:59,340 Adam Curry: And it was certainly if you're a dame and you've 728 00:40:59,340 --> 00:41:02,430 donated to the show, we're good with you. You're the best. 729 00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:05,940 Between the diagnosis and transition, I had an experience 730 00:41:05,940 --> 00:41:08,670 I want to tell you about during the 90s I was diagnosed with so 731 00:41:08,670 --> 00:41:12,930 this is Dame Jane telling us the story of then and now. During 732 00:41:12,930 --> 00:41:15,840 the 90s I was diagnosed with low testosterone, I got a minimal 733 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,710 dose via injection from the doctor. The next few days were 734 00:41:19,710 --> 00:41:23,340 living Hell, I'm normally a very calm person. But during that 735 00:41:23,340 --> 00:41:26,790 time, the smallest thing would send me into a rage. This is 736 00:41:26,790 --> 00:41:30,360 your roid rage you were talking about this is the danger of 737 00:41:30,390 --> 00:41:35,580 giving, you know even adolescents these chemicals 738 00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:42,030 would can send people into a rage. The then the aroma TAS 739 00:41:42,390 --> 00:41:45,120 kicked in after a few days turning the testosterone in my 740 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,910 system into estrogen and I was in love with the world again. 741 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,660 Several months later, I did it again. Same result. If that 742 00:41:51,660 --> 00:41:54,540 happened to me with my male body, I shudder to think what 743 00:41:54,540 --> 00:41:58,650 happens with a female body. Back then I was diagnosed with gender 744 00:41:58,650 --> 00:42:01,560 dysphoria. The only way to get hormone to surgery was to follow 745 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,580 the Harry Benjamin standards of care. Harry Benjamin is the is 746 00:42:05,580 --> 00:42:09,090 the guy who wrote the book on this. And this is what it used 747 00:42:09,090 --> 00:42:13,170 to be in the 90s a minimum of 13 hour long visits with a 748 00:42:13,170 --> 00:42:16,950 psychiatrist trained in gender care. Once that was completed, 749 00:42:17,220 --> 00:42:19,980 the highly coveted Get Out of Jail Free letter showing that 750 00:42:19,980 --> 00:42:22,590 you were a patient under professional care, and not some 751 00:42:22,590 --> 00:42:25,590 pervert hanging out in the ladies room, then a referral to 752 00:42:25,590 --> 00:42:28,890 an endocrinologist for hormones, then you had to live full time 753 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,670 in your new role as for a minimum of one year, with 754 00:42:32,670 --> 00:42:35,850 regular visits with your therapist, after a full year of 755 00:42:35,850 --> 00:42:38,430 full time living, you need to see a second therapist, both 756 00:42:38,430 --> 00:42:41,310 therapists would give letters of recommendation for surgery, 757 00:42:41,310 --> 00:42:44,820 which I'm sure they will give you. At this point, you need to 758 00:42:44,820 --> 00:42:47,610 come up with approximately $20,000 needed for the surgery 759 00:42:47,610 --> 00:42:50,220 assuming male to female the other way around is a lot more 760 00:42:50,220 --> 00:42:53,880 expensive. All in all, it took at least two years from start to 761 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,110 surgery. And of course now it's you know, one visit with the you 762 00:42:58,110 --> 00:43:03,990 know, given by the school behind the parents back to teenagers, 763 00:43:05,370 --> 00:43:08,640 John C Dvorak: and sub tab just pre treated. 764 00:43:08,850 --> 00:43:11,280 Adam Curry: So now this is the this is the part that's quite 765 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,580 amazing what Dame Jamie writes to us. What most people don't 766 00:43:14,580 --> 00:43:18,240 realize is that the war on absolute truth is the oldest war 767 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:21,990 of all, it's the war on God. If we can make our own reality, 768 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,490 then we are our own personal gods. And it's that last part 769 00:43:26,490 --> 00:43:28,920 that brings me to what I've been meaning to write to you for the 770 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,670 last few months. The blatant manipulation of a very 771 00:43:32,670 --> 00:43:37,620 vulnerable portion of our society is reprehensible. My day 772 00:43:37,650 --> 00:43:41,460 my being trans is effectively tacit approval of what's going 773 00:43:41,460 --> 00:43:45,540 on and I can't allow that. My masculine side has been pretty 774 00:43:45,540 --> 00:43:48,750 much dominant since COVID. started and I formally D 775 00:43:48,750 --> 00:43:52,920 transitioned on my 60th birthday a few months ago. With that I 776 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,100 formally petitioned the peerage committee that's huge jump for a 777 00:43:56,100 --> 00:44:00,690 title change from Dame Jamie of the highway to surge Jamie of 778 00:44:00,690 --> 00:44:04,200 the highway. How about that 779 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,270 John C Dvorak: that's that's easily approved. 780 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,730 Adam Curry: But isn't that something that is something I 781 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,510 and I commend the future sir Jamie of the highway. 782 00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:18,269 John C Dvorak: commend the fact that she'd write to he right who 783 00:44:18,269 --> 00:44:20,609 he now he wrote this letter. 784 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,720 Adam Curry: What courage that takes. I really appreciate that. 785 00:44:25,650 --> 00:44:27,540 That to me was just mind blowing. 786 00:44:28,410 --> 00:44:31,950 John C Dvorak: Well, she's he he's not short of saying 787 00:44:33,090 --> 00:44:33,990 Satanism. 788 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,800 Adam Curry: Well, yes, stop short of it. But yeah, basically 789 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,520 said that. 790 00:44:41,610 --> 00:44:43,950 John C Dvorak: I will get off that kick. Immediately. 791 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,970 Adam Curry: No. Well, here's something that was rather 792 00:44:47,970 --> 00:44:52,050 interesting. You know, there were cov sisters. What Ciao ciao 793 00:44:52,050 --> 00:44:53,100 ski sisters with 794 00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:57,330 John C Dvorak: kowski. Yeah, the the matrix. Yeah, the matrix men 795 00:44:57,330 --> 00:45:01,800 turned women. Yes. And it's really Just a background make 796 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,490 sure everyone knows this started off at one of the brothers. 797 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:12,090 Transitioning, pissing off the other brother. Yep. For about a 798 00:45:12,090 --> 00:45:15,720 year. So I said, Okay, well, I'll transition to. So they both 799 00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:16,440 became women. 800 00:45:16,650 --> 00:45:20,940 Adam Curry: So Lily talked about this in a recent interview, I 801 00:45:20,940 --> 00:45:25,080 think this is Khan, probably, probably a podcast, or that was 802 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:30,450 in front of an audience. And now, because of the distinct 803 00:45:30,450 --> 00:45:32,190 difference, what we're discovering, you know, you have 804 00:45:32,190 --> 00:45:34,290 teenage girls who are going through middle school, they're 805 00:45:34,290 --> 00:45:37,530 having all kinds of issues, all kinds of problems, of course, 806 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,070 not helped at all by social media and apps and the phones, 807 00:45:41,070 --> 00:45:47,280 etc. For boys is very different, you know, you're unattractive, 808 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,730 you're never gonna get laid, you're, you know, you're, you're 809 00:45:50,730 --> 00:45:54,450 stupid. By the way, the whole Western world has told you if 810 00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:59,760 you're white, and you're a male, and you're says, You're a loser, 811 00:45:59,790 --> 00:46:02,730 there's nothing for you to lose or nothing. And you know, and if 812 00:46:02,730 --> 00:46:05,580 you don't look like these dudes, you'll never get a Kardashian. 813 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,620 And it was really interesting to hear. Miss Wah kowski. Explain 814 00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:13,680 how she came to, to be a woman, 815 00:46:13,740 --> 00:46:18,060 Unknown: to be honest. Like, for me, the people that I saw the 816 00:46:18,060 --> 00:46:21,630 first images that really struck a chord with me were, you know, 817 00:46:21,780 --> 00:46:26,940 trans women in pornography. And there was something that 818 00:46:27,570 --> 00:46:34,620 unlocked in my brain that I saw these wonderful, fearless 819 00:46:34,770 --> 00:46:43,980 performers becoming these becoming desirable. And I in my 820 00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:48,720 head, I could take the leap where I felt like well, man, if 821 00:46:48,750 --> 00:46:53,970 I could be desirable, then maybe I could be loved. And for me, 822 00:46:53,970 --> 00:46:56,760 that's like, one of the keys that trans people have to like, 823 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:01,200 struggle through, you know, will somebody love me? And so yeah, 824 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,820 that's, that's my answer. Nick Adams. Excellent answer. Lily 825 00:47:05,820 --> 00:47:06,300 wish asked. 826 00:47:07,710 --> 00:47:11,160 Adam Curry: That is an eye opener. I believe this is 827 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:16,170 probably true for a lot of young men. Hey, you're sitting in your 828 00:47:16,170 --> 00:47:19,560 basement vaping playing video games, you feel unattractive? 829 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,230 You may be unattractive, you're being told you're a loser. 830 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:26,760 You're no good. And then yeah, by society, and you're watching 831 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,630 porn, and all sudden, like, Oh, I could be loved. I can be I can 832 00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:33,000 be loved by someone, as you know. And this is probably 833 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,080 what's going on with me. This. This hits home, man, I think not 834 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,990 with me. But I think that's, there's something going on with 835 00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:44,070 that. And then I couldn't believe CBS even put this on the 836 00:47:44,070 --> 00:47:45,900 air Hello, Surgeon General, 837 00:47:46,410 --> 00:47:50,070 Unknown: social media. It's entertaining. And some teens 838 00:47:50,070 --> 00:47:54,120 can't get enough. But America's top doctor is sounding the 839 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:54,780 alarm. 840 00:47:55,110 --> 00:47:58,500 There is not sufficient evidence for us to conclude that social 841 00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:01,590 media is in fact sufficiently safe for our kids. 842 00:48:02,010 --> 00:48:06,990 Up to 95% of 13 to 17 year olds report using a social media 843 00:48:06,990 --> 00:48:10,530 platform, with more than a third saying they use social media 844 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,340 almost constantly. The advisor recited a study that found 845 00:48:14,370 --> 00:48:17,670 adolescents who spent more than three hours per day on social 846 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:21,870 media face double the risk of poor mental health outcomes, 847 00:48:21,990 --> 00:48:26,340 including depression and anxiety. How urgent is it? 848 00:48:26,670 --> 00:48:30,420 That we've seen an increase in depression and anxiety and 849 00:48:30,420 --> 00:48:34,440 suicide and loneliness among young people? There's a full 850 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,500 blown crisis that's taking place in our country right now. 851 00:48:37,830 --> 00:48:39,540 Adam Curry: Wow. Finally, finally, 852 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,270 John C Dvorak: why do you think this is a surprise that CBS 853 00:48:42,270 --> 00:48:46,740 would play this and I'll say this tick tock is eating into 854 00:48:46,740 --> 00:48:51,390 their lunch too. Yep, you got to believe advertising dollars go 855 00:48:51,420 --> 00:48:54,510 don't go here. This you got some money to spend? You can spend it 856 00:48:54,510 --> 00:48:57,840 everywhere. That's right. That's right. I think I think the 857 00:48:58,260 --> 00:49:01,980 network TV people should have gotten into this years ago they 858 00:49:01,980 --> 00:49:05,280 could have brought this up it hasn't changed any but now that 859 00:49:05,580 --> 00:49:10,860 they're losing money it's embarrassing to watch the TV 860 00:49:10,860 --> 00:49:15,600 these new shows and all the drug company ads for crazy stuff. 861 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,620 Stuff. Two things that nobody I mean, how many people are, you 862 00:49:19,620 --> 00:49:22,050 know, have some of these conditions? Very few. 863 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,770 Adam Curry: And let's add to this boots on the ground. I 864 00:49:25,770 --> 00:49:28,260 meant to send this email last week after John first pondered 865 00:49:28,260 --> 00:49:30,900 whether the Tennessee shooter was on testosterone because it 866 00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:34,380 jarred some memories for me of my days as a pharma rep. Yes, I 867 00:49:34,380 --> 00:49:37,410 will have to atone for that. The best thing I can say for myself 868 00:49:37,410 --> 00:49:40,500 is I hated that job and it was shipped out and worked as a few 869 00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:44,610 hours a week as possible. But I sold Zoloft for Pfizer who 870 00:49:46,050 --> 00:49:48,270 always accuse me of being a woohoo girl. I gotta stop doing 871 00:49:48,270 --> 00:49:57,540 that stopped me want to do that again. Oh, please do please. I 872 00:49:57,540 --> 00:50:01,620 sold Zoloft for Pfizer for 20 years and it was a known fact 873 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,370 that patients had a higher incidence of suicide attempt and 874 00:50:05,370 --> 00:50:10,320 or success after initiating treatment. Let me just read that 875 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:15,180 again. It was a known fact that patients had a higher incidence 876 00:50:15,180 --> 00:50:19,440 of suicide attempt and or success. After initiating 877 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,310 treatment with Zoloft that was spun to us that depressed 878 00:50:23,310 --> 00:50:28,200 patients lack motivation. And once they're on an SSRI, but 879 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,310 before they reach a Europe therapeutic dose, they're in a 880 00:50:32,310 --> 00:50:36,510 danger zone for causing harm to themselves. I wonder if that's 881 00:50:36,510 --> 00:50:40,890 on the little, the little, little paper that is folded up 882 00:50:40,890 --> 00:50:42,210 1000 times inside? 883 00:50:42,269 --> 00:50:45,779 John C Dvorak: We've talked about this phenomenon before and 884 00:50:45,899 --> 00:50:52,259 the causation seems to be that yes, it does. It. It does lessen 885 00:50:52,259 --> 00:50:55,709 depression, but it also puts into your brain. There's nothing 886 00:50:55,709 --> 00:51:01,559 wrong with killing yourself. Wow, it eliminates the second 887 00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:04,739 thoughts. You know, because normally you have even if a 888 00:51:04,739 --> 00:51:08,189 passing thought to you, oh, I'm gonna kill myself that I'm not 889 00:51:08,189 --> 00:51:11,699 an idiot. I'm not going to kill myself. That second part of the 890 00:51:11,699 --> 00:51:12,839 equation is missing. 891 00:51:13,109 --> 00:51:17,429 Adam Curry: Right? It wouldn't be a bad idea. Canada's just 892 00:51:17,429 --> 00:51:18,629 making it more fun. 893 00:51:19,740 --> 00:51:21,810 John C Dvorak: Well, can they give you a maid? 894 00:51:21,930 --> 00:51:22,740 Adam Curry: They give you a maid? 895 00:51:23,729 --> 00:51:25,079 John C Dvorak: You get a free crack pipes. 896 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,820 Adam Curry: Wow, people, although SSRIs were given FDA 897 00:51:29,820 --> 00:51:34,710 approval for minors in the early 2000s. All medicines are used 898 00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:37,860 off label and tacitly promoted for off label use. So how many 899 00:51:37,860 --> 00:51:41,430 school shooters are really on psychotropics? Insinuating? The 900 00:51:41,430 --> 00:51:44,190 Columbine? All of them? Yeah. All on that 901 00:51:44,190 --> 00:51:47,100 John C Dvorak: one. And we've okay, this is another no agenda. 902 00:51:47,130 --> 00:51:50,610 They were kind of pushing me. I don't want to just blow our own 903 00:51:50,610 --> 00:51:55,020 horn. But for the last 15 years, because there's been these 904 00:51:55,020 --> 00:52:00,840 shootings all along. We have pointed out that no reporter has 905 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,500 ever asked the simple question about what is this kid on drugs 906 00:52:04,530 --> 00:52:10,170 except Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson has brought it up. Yeah, 907 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:11,010 boy, he's out. 908 00:52:12,150 --> 00:52:15,570 Adam Curry: And boy, I mean, there's nothing worse than 909 00:52:15,570 --> 00:52:18,510 saying we'll see you soon on Twitter and not showing up on 910 00:52:18,510 --> 00:52:23,340 Twitter. That's bad. That's not how media promotion works. No 911 00:52:23,430 --> 00:52:26,880 final thing. A lot of people and I put them all in the show 912 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,890 notes. And again, thank you all so much for your boots on the 913 00:52:28,890 --> 00:52:32,280 ground redacted, these have been put under the trans Maoism 914 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,060 heading. A lot of people made suggestions about pronouns how 915 00:52:36,060 --> 00:52:38,850 to handle them when presented with them. And I just a 916 00:52:38,850 --> 00:52:41,880 collection of what people sent me. I think the best way to 917 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,030 handle it is just whether it's if someone sends you an email, 918 00:52:45,180 --> 00:52:48,930 and it's in the signature, or I guess if it's from the State 919 00:52:48,930 --> 00:52:53,070 Department in the from line, I think the proper responses, but 920 00:52:53,070 --> 00:52:55,710 please don't worry about your pronouns. I definitely won't be 921 00:52:55,710 --> 00:52:59,100 talking to other people about you. mean that seems to be good. 922 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,670 That seems to be if someone says hey, this the pronouns No, no, 923 00:53:03,030 --> 00:53:05,280 please don't worry about that. I will not be talking to other 924 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,660 people about you. That's the way to go. It's to the polite 925 00:53:09,660 --> 00:53:11,850 John C Dvorak: Ellen a lot. I mean, Rachel, our producer, one 926 00:53:11,850 --> 00:53:16,380 of our producers suggested that you just say oh, you know, 927 00:53:16,410 --> 00:53:20,340 pronouns. Me, I feel very uncomfortable. Like that one 928 00:53:20,340 --> 00:53:24,660 goes right back and everybody. That makes me so uncomfortable. 929 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:29,040 Adam Curry: That's a good one. That makes me I liked it makes 930 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:30,090 me uncomfortable. 931 00:53:30,690 --> 00:53:33,360 John C Dvorak: Task makes me uncomfortable. Oh, we can't make 932 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:38,550 anyone uncomfortable. Yeah. Was this. But the other was an 933 00:53:38,550 --> 00:53:39,540 insult you 934 00:53:39,540 --> 00:53:41,550 Adam Curry: were talking about? Is it Portland is important. Or 935 00:53:41,550 --> 00:53:43,560 Seattle? Where? Who's doing the drugs? 936 00:53:43,650 --> 00:53:45,810 John C Dvorak: Seattle? Well, they're all doing it, everybody. 937 00:53:45,810 --> 00:53:48,900 But Seattle is the one that's been that's been specific where 938 00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:51,030 they actually brought it in front of the city council and 939 00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:53,790 they admitted, yeah, we're not doing anything about treatment. 940 00:53:53,790 --> 00:53:56,670 We're giving away free paraphernalia. So we have the 941 00:53:56,670 --> 00:53:58,560 digital we're doing with your taxpayer money. 942 00:53:58,590 --> 00:54:00,720 Adam Curry: We have the best producers, the bravest 943 00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:03,630 producers. This is a report from the perspective of a young 944 00:54:03,630 --> 00:54:08,760 finance, finance director of a small city in Ohio. I'm 945 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,650 attending a conference in Portland, Oregon, and the 946 00:54:10,650 --> 00:54:14,340 mentality of the officials here is astounding. So what would a 947 00:54:14,340 --> 00:54:17,670 finance director is the finance director basically just takes 948 00:54:17,670 --> 00:54:20,190 care of the money for this small city is that what the finance 949 00:54:20,190 --> 00:54:20,910 director does? 950 00:54:21,210 --> 00:54:23,940 John C Dvorak: could do a lot of different things. To see this 951 00:54:23,970 --> 00:54:28,020 CFO like city manager in a way maybe no city managers or city 952 00:54:28,020 --> 00:54:28,680 manager. 953 00:54:29,610 --> 00:54:33,300 Adam Curry: One seminar on affordable housing finance, had 954 00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:36,300 the presenters begging by announcing the pronouns they 955 00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:40,140 use, which I laughed at because you don't use your own pronouns 956 00:54:40,410 --> 00:54:43,320 and address the homeless issue with charts and financial 957 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,580 policies for urban development. Yet we're all perfectly content 958 00:54:47,580 --> 00:54:50,580 in treating the homelessness symptom, and not acknowledging 959 00:54:50,580 --> 00:54:53,910 the root cause of community disintegration and the apparent 960 00:54:53,910 --> 00:54:58,290 lack of the hatred of sin loving of neighbors mentality that's 961 00:54:58,290 --> 00:55:01,440 used to pervade this great land. So many people will say, well, 962 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,020 that's just all the big cities. When I bring up the drug and 963 00:55:04,020 --> 00:55:07,440 homeless problem, Portland has a population of 700,000, I visited 964 00:55:07,470 --> 00:55:09,990 Athens with a population of 4 million. Although there's 965 00:55:09,990 --> 00:55:13,500 graffiti Antifa and plenty of pot, there aren't dozens of 966 00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:16,500 people literally twitching on the sidewalks. In another 967 00:55:16,500 --> 00:55:20,160 session, I was asked how I enjoy my job as director. It's at such 968 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,310 a young age and for a small town, I responded that I loved 969 00:55:23,310 --> 00:55:25,350 the high trust environment and opportunity to have a 970 00:55:25,350 --> 00:55:28,590 transformative and positive impact on the finances and 971 00:55:28,590 --> 00:55:32,010 policies of our residents and city staff. I was quickly 972 00:55:32,010 --> 00:55:34,800 corrected, that you really shouldn't use the term 973 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:39,510 transformative. The term reformative is more inclusive, 974 00:55:39,690 --> 00:55:43,080 and fosters the idea that your policy should be reformed to 975 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,130 promote the disadvantage. The woman works for a water utility 976 00:55:47,700 --> 00:55:50,430 before I could respond with I'm really not interested in doing 977 00:55:50,430 --> 00:55:56,130 that the next seminar started is this. He says it is nuts. It's 978 00:55:56,130 --> 00:56:00,150 nuts. And this is this is people who are running cities. 979 00:56:00,690 --> 00:56:02,880 John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, well, that's the Maoists thing about 980 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,330 changing the language. So you can confuse people and you're 981 00:56:06,330 --> 00:56:08,580 not in our group because you use the wrong word. 982 00:56:09,090 --> 00:56:11,580 Adam Curry: And I want to make sure that we make sure people 983 00:56:11,580 --> 00:56:13,920 understand when we say trans Maoism, we're not saying that 984 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:18,870 China is doing this to us. This this comes from far this much 985 00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:21,030 deeper. This has been injected. 986 00:56:21,210 --> 00:56:24,840 John C Dvorak: China itself is beyond. Yeah. This Maoism This 987 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:25,620 is injected 988 00:56:25,650 --> 00:56:30,300 Adam Curry: into our education system. Then everyone's captured 989 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,540 everybody's except this one little podcast, we seem to be 990 00:56:33,540 --> 00:56:38,010 the only one that can that can keep our head above. 991 00:56:39,390 --> 00:56:42,210 John C Dvorak: Above there. We're the only ones that don't 992 00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:45,360 have the outrage element. No. Oh, man. 993 00:56:45,930 --> 00:56:47,610 Adam Curry: So I mean, 994 00:56:47,610 --> 00:56:49,710 John C Dvorak: it's humorous. We all get a kick out of it. 995 00:56:50,340 --> 00:56:50,790 There's two 996 00:56:50,790 --> 00:56:54,570 Adam Curry: stories. This is my favorite story. Senators issued 997 00:56:54,570 --> 00:56:58,290 satellite phones, offer demonstrations and obscure 998 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,040 upgraded security devices. So now there's story after story 999 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,190 after story. There's going to be an event. They're giving the 1000 00:57:05,190 --> 00:57:08,340 senators satellite phones because the internet's going 1001 00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:10,920 out. Everything's going out. Well, you're gonna die. It's 1002 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,690 happening Memorial Day weekend. 1003 00:57:14,700 --> 00:57:18,270 John C Dvorak: So it's happening this coming Sunday. Yeah. Or 1004 00:57:18,270 --> 00:57:20,130 this weekend, Monday would be Morial day. 1005 00:57:20,130 --> 00:57:23,640 Adam Curry: So a lot of people are 5000 RPM on this. And so I 1006 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,810 look into it. And indeed US Senate arms, Sergeant Karen 1007 00:57:27,810 --> 00:57:34,380 Gibson, offered smartphones with satellite chips to all 100 1008 00:57:34,380 --> 00:57:39,900 senators. So first of all, every single article is showing a you 1009 00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:42,690 know, one of those big sat phones with the other big clunky 1010 00:57:42,690 --> 00:57:46,440 thing with a huge antenna. giant antenna. That's not what this 1011 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:52,440 is. This is a promotion from one of the Android vendors because 1012 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,620 now you know just like the iPhone 14 You can you can now 1013 00:57:55,620 --> 00:57:59,970 get satellite service T Mobile is starting to offer it Elon 1014 00:57:59,970 --> 00:58:02,160 thing is starting to offer it but here's what I think is 1015 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:06,960 really going on these 100 senators, because it's a 1016 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,470 smartphone. It's a full on smartphone. It's you know, it's 1017 00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:13,410 just as functional as the phone they're using. And it has 1018 00:58:13,410 --> 00:58:16,410 sidelight for Oh, in cases a horrible event, so of course 1019 00:58:16,410 --> 00:58:18,900 they're going to use this. Oh, yes, I got one of the 1020 00:58:18,900 --> 00:58:21,630 satellites. Well guess what else is going to be in that phone? 1021 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:27,060 Tracking? Yes. Tracking eavesdropping spying. How stupid 1022 00:58:27,060 --> 00:58:31,410 are we people? They're going to spy on your 100 senators 1023 00:58:31,530 --> 00:58:34,500 wouldn't surprise me this was this was actually China a given 1024 00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:35,520 me when surprise 1025 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:36,870 John C Dvorak: me if it was China. It's the 1026 00:58:36,870 --> 00:58:41,160 Adam Curry: Qualcomm chip. Now that does this. And they clearly 1027 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:45,360 say satellite chips. So all these stories with the big 1028 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,710 clunky sat phones like 1029 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,460 John C Dvorak: that this thing has no no ability to hit a 1030 00:58:50,460 --> 00:58:51,360 satellite. 1031 00:58:51,419 --> 00:58:54,239 Adam Curry: No, unless you're outside with your left leg up. 1032 00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:54,719 And you're right. 1033 00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,820 John C Dvorak: Oh, you have a bad big, red. Take out your 1034 00:58:59,820 --> 00:59:01,560 antenna and put a new one in. 1035 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,800 Adam Curry: Yeah, I don't know how well they work. But it's 1036 00:59:04,830 --> 00:59:07,800 it's first of all, it's a promotion by one of the Android 1037 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,160 companies because I saw her hold it up in her testimony was not 1038 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,780 an iPhone 14. An apple wouldn't you know, they don't give away 1039 00:59:15,780 --> 00:59:19,140 stuff. Not gonna give that away. They're cheap. They don't want 1040 00:59:19,140 --> 00:59:22,080 to get Apple doesn't give stuff away like that some Android 1041 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:26,400 company and who knows what's in that phone. This is what kills 1042 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:31,800 me. too. I was all spun up over that. And then of course, you 1043 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,800 know, the 30 tons of explosive chemicals lost during rail 1044 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:40,980 shipping to California. Ammonium nitrate 30 tons. 1045 00:59:42,810 --> 00:59:45,570 John C Dvorak: A sieve a big sack of ammonium nitrate in my 1046 00:59:45,660 --> 00:59:50,100 old house. I was working as an air pollution inspector and I 1047 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:55,470 got some I was doing inspecting of the fertilizer plant in 1048 00:59:55,470 --> 00:59:59,730 Richmond that Chevron ran and I said and they had ammonium 1049 00:59:59,730 --> 01:00:03,030 nitrate So you can I get a bag like 100 pound bag of ammonium 1050 01:00:03,030 --> 01:00:07,440 nitrate. And this is what I knew about and fo bombs and all the 1051 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,140 rest of it. I wanted to stuff because it was it was so 1052 01:00:10,140 --> 01:00:13,770 powerful a fertilizer for your garden. Absolutely. Oh, it's 1053 01:00:13,770 --> 01:00:17,010 unbelievable. But what you can do, there's this giant, there's 1054 01:00:17,010 --> 01:00:20,250 a lot of big lawns. If you can find one of these, like, you can 1055 01:00:20,250 --> 01:00:23,580 take the, you know, like a shaker of ammonium nitrate and 1056 01:00:23,580 --> 01:00:29,550 spell out you know, fuck you, John Alon. And it changes a 1057 01:00:29,550 --> 01:00:33,150 color to a britch green and a gross twice as fast it's 1058 01:00:33,150 --> 01:00:36,930 hilarious gag. But anyway, that's for all you kids out 1059 01:00:36,930 --> 01:00:42,810 there that this big sack and use it for this and that and say One 1060 01:00:42,810 --> 01:00:46,440 day the basement flooded in the thing turned into one giant lump 1061 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,880 of ammonium nitrate. 1062 01:00:48,060 --> 01:00:51,090 Adam Curry: Oh yeah, if you if you don't mix it up. We used to 1063 01:00:51,090 --> 01:00:53,880 mix it because I lived in a rural town back in the day. 1064 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,170 You'd mix it with some sugar. 1065 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,560 John C Dvorak: I think it's just sugar and water. Oh, yeah. Light 1066 01:00:58,560 --> 01:00:59,520 up like a flare? 1067 01:00:59,550 --> 01:01:02,190 Adam Curry: Yeah, you could make flash paper and stuff like that. 1068 01:01:02,340 --> 01:01:03,810 John C Dvorak: Oh, there's a lot you could do it. You'd have a 1069 01:01:03,810 --> 01:01:05,400 lot of fun with it. Good stuff. 1070 01:01:05,549 --> 01:01:08,519 Adam Curry: So this headline is from the New York Times 30 tons 1071 01:01:08,519 --> 01:01:12,419 of explosive chemicals lost during rail shipment. So 1072 01:01:12,419 --> 01:01:16,439 everyone around you I've seen the emails you know everyone's 1073 01:01:16,439 --> 01:01:19,949 all spun up over it and it's in California they're gonna blow it 1074 01:01:19,949 --> 01:01:23,699 up and blow stuff up and blood California and and this is the 1075 01:01:23,729 --> 01:01:25,799 this is the New York Times headline but if you look at what 1076 01:01:25,799 --> 01:01:29,819 really happened was the car there was a leak in the railroad 1077 01:01:29,819 --> 01:01:33,629 car so it probably drip this stuff out over hundreds if not 1078 01:01:36,419 --> 01:01:40,139 1000s of miles a week the security seals were still in 1079 01:01:40,139 --> 01:01:43,019 place when it arrived in California just the car was 1080 01:01:43,019 --> 01:01:47,879 empty. Yeah, it leaks. But didn't you put the headline 30 1081 01:01:47,879 --> 01:01:51,149 tons of explosive chemicals and no, it's behind the paywall. So 1082 01:01:51,149 --> 01:01:54,299 all you do is just screenshot that and we're all gonna die. 1083 01:01:54,449 --> 01:01:57,719 Here this is subhead the chemical ammonium nitrate is 1084 01:01:57,719 --> 01:01:59,579 relatively harmless by itself but it's caused deadly 1085 01:01:59,579 --> 01:02:01,919 explosions and industrial accidents has been used in 1086 01:02:01,919 --> 01:02:08,429 targeted attacks. Su New York Times that's clickbait This is a 1087 01:02:08,429 --> 01:02:14,429 total clickbait clickbait. I'm just and people fall for beside 1088 01:02:14,429 --> 01:02:18,209 yourself and why why would people? I mean, they just make 1089 01:02:18,209 --> 01:02:22,619 screenshots. Oh, that's what the 1090 01:02:23,790 --> 01:02:27,480 John C Dvorak: screenshots are fun. Yeah, but it's so it's 1091 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:28,920 misleading. It's hurts. 1092 01:02:28,950 --> 01:02:32,880 Adam Curry: This is this is why we're here. We spin you down in 1093 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,050 the spun up world. 1094 01:02:34,770 --> 01:02:37,650 John C Dvorak: Can I do my DeSantis report? i And 1095 01:02:37,650 --> 01:02:40,290 Adam Curry: I'm excited not only for you to do your DeSantis 1096 01:02:40,290 --> 01:02:45,480 report. I probably have to fun clips to add to it. But yes, you 1097 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:46,680 go and I'll jump. 1098 01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:51,210 John C Dvorak: I'm gonna start off with the default. Net. Don't 1099 01:02:51,210 --> 01:02:56,190 play that. These DeSantis have an NPR he's running DeSantis 1100 01:02:56,190 --> 01:02:59,430 Yes. Addition to short, short announcement. This is all you 1101 01:02:59,430 --> 01:03:02,700 really need to know. Then I'm going to switch to PBS and 1102 01:03:02,700 --> 01:03:06,990 they're slanted anti DeSantis. Report. 1103 01:03:07,020 --> 01:03:10,080 Unknown: Oh, no. Today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made 1104 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:14,310 Adam Curry: it a by the way. We learned something with all this 1105 01:03:14,310 --> 01:03:20,010 reporting. His name is Ron DeSantis. It's not DeSantis is 1106 01:03:20,010 --> 01:03:21,060 de Santas. 1107 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,480 John C Dvorak: We also learn a place that he could play 1108 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,490 probably a professional baseball player. 1109 01:03:26,670 --> 01:03:29,340 Adam Curry: I didn't know about that. But the DeSantis thing was 1110 01:03:29,340 --> 01:03:30,150 was what struck me 1111 01:03:30,150 --> 01:03:33,270 Unknown: today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made it official it 1112 01:03:33,270 --> 01:03:37,110 makes for the Republican presidential nomination. Shortly 1113 01:03:37,110 --> 01:03:40,260 after filing the paperwork for his campaign DeSantis went live 1114 01:03:40,260 --> 01:03:42,660 on Twitter with a CEO Elon Musk is that 1115 01:03:42,660 --> 01:03:44,670 Adam Curry: subliminal? I'm sorry. Is that subliminal 1116 01:03:44,730 --> 01:03:50,010 DeSantis? Like he's really a Democrat? I don't think so. 1117 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:58,140 Unknown: The kickoff started badly. So let's see. I think 1118 01:03:58,140 --> 01:04:05,220 we've got people online so its servers are straining somewhat. 1119 01:04:05,490 --> 01:04:09,060 The live chat was filled with technical glitches. DeSantis is 1120 01:04:09,060 --> 01:04:11,550 joining a growing crowd of Republicans hoping to defeat 1121 01:04:11,550 --> 01:04:14,280 former President Trump for the party's nomination. Two of our 1122 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,260 correspondents are here to talk about what the announcement 1123 01:04:16,260 --> 01:04:18,960 means for next year's election and prs. Kelsey Snell covers 1124 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,720 politics and Greg Allen covers Florida. Good to have you both 1125 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,710 here. Hi there. Hello. Kelsey. The technical malfunctions 1126 01:04:25,770 --> 01:04:28,980 eventually got resolved and DeSantis was able to speak what 1127 01:04:28,980 --> 01:04:29,520 did he say? 1128 01:04:29,550 --> 01:04:32,250 Yeah, by the time the audio was working, which took about 20 1129 01:04:32,250 --> 01:04:35,340 minutes. DeSantis was in the midst of a fairly traditional 1130 01:04:35,340 --> 01:04:39,510 campaign speech where he argued his war on woke is the future. 1131 01:04:39,690 --> 01:04:42,330 He talked about Florida's refusal to follow COVID 1132 01:04:42,330 --> 01:04:45,150 lockdowns and claim that the state is passing laws he called 1133 01:04:45,150 --> 01:04:46,230 common sense. 1134 01:04:46,410 --> 01:04:50,670 Biden's allowed woke ideology to drive his agenda. We will never 1135 01:04:50,670 --> 01:04:55,110 surrender to the woke mob and we will leave woke ideology in the 1136 01:04:55,110 --> 01:04:57,120 dustbin of history. Guys, 1137 01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,460 Adam Curry: I'm not going to play my clips until you're fully 1138 01:04:59,460 --> 01:05:07,470 Damn I do To make two comments, one, this was such such a canard 1139 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,940 by Twitter. And they and I don't have audio of it, but they were 1140 01:05:11,970 --> 01:05:16,980 they were. You heard? What's his face Elon Elon and his and his 1141 01:05:16,980 --> 01:05:21,240 buddy. They're saying, Boy, well, you know, you melted the 1142 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:25,470 internet. You broke the internet. Mr. President, you 1143 01:05:25,470 --> 01:05:32,040 broke the internet. No, no, no, no, it was your crap that broke. 1144 01:05:32,190 --> 01:05:37,440 And then the occasion, Jason is trying to make a wall. 1.7 1145 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:42,240 million people tuned in what's your compresses? It was at 650k 1146 01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,060 Plus in five minutes on the Elan account, which would probably 1147 01:05:45,060 --> 01:05:48,720 hit 3 million plus, despite the tech issues, and not having time 1148 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:53,820 for public questions. Overall. It was a great start. No, Jason, 1149 01:05:54,330 --> 01:05:57,240 you're losing all credibility. He used to be used to write a 1150 01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,900 guy used to be a good writer about tech. Remember this, the 1151 01:06:00,900 --> 01:06:06,210 Silicon Valley, Silicon Alley stuff he would write now? Oh, 1152 01:06:06,210 --> 01:06:09,210 back in the New York days is in the 90s. That's how long I've 1153 01:06:09,210 --> 01:06:12,660 known him. And now he just can you get Elon any deeper in your 1154 01:06:12,660 --> 01:06:18,360 throat. Stop it. Jason sucked. It was an embarrassment. All 1155 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:18,570 right. 1156 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,370 John C Dvorak: So we go to PBS and they are just going to, 1157 01:06:23,670 --> 01:06:25,830 here's the introduction. This is part one. It's just the 1158 01:06:25,830 --> 01:06:28,650 introduction then we'll get to this kind of stuff. It's all 1159 01:06:28,650 --> 01:06:31,740 done subtly, too, and I just really enjoyed breaking down to 1160 01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:33,780 little subtleties of the bullcrap. 1161 01:06:33,900 --> 01:06:36,960 Unknown: The race for president has a new big name candidate, 1162 01:06:37,050 --> 01:06:40,290 Florida's governor Ron DeSantis, officially announced his his 1163 01:06:40,290 --> 01:06:44,520 campaign in an anticipated audio interview with Elon Musk on 1164 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,340 Twitter, and on this online video 1165 01:06:47,430 --> 01:06:52,080 in Florida, we prove that it can be done. We chose facts over 1166 01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:56,400 fear, education over indoctrination, law and order 1167 01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,510 over rioting and disorder. We held the line when freedom hung 1168 01:07:00,510 --> 01:07:05,310 in the balance. We showed that we can and must revitalize 1169 01:07:05,310 --> 01:07:09,360 America. We need the courage to lead and the strength to win. 1170 01:07:10,259 --> 01:07:13,559 The Republican governor is a headline generating machine 1171 01:07:13,589 --> 01:07:17,429 shaping national fights over COVID policies, education, 1172 01:07:17,579 --> 01:07:20,969 corporate speech and immigration. But he faces an 1173 01:07:20,969 --> 01:07:25,019 uphill climb against his former ally now turned antagonist 1174 01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:27,539 Donald Trump. Lisa, Dr. Dan reports. 1175 01:07:27,569 --> 01:07:28,499 Adam Curry: No Lisa. 1176 01:07:29,910 --> 01:07:32,490 John C Dvorak: Okay, so Lisa, who's the I guess a designated 1177 01:07:32,490 --> 01:07:34,650 hitman? This is News gonna come on. 1178 01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,480 Adam Curry: We haven't seen her in a while. She used to be the 1179 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,230 hit person against the Hitman against Trump, wasn't she? Yeah, 1180 01:07:40,259 --> 01:07:42,779 John C Dvorak: she's always and she's good at it she's because 1181 01:07:42,779 --> 01:07:45,569 she doesn't you don't notice it? That's why I chopped this way. 1182 01:07:45,569 --> 01:07:47,459 There's so many clips because a lot of them are just a few 1183 01:07:47,459 --> 01:07:50,969 seconds long. Cuz I chopped it up in one of the stop and 1184 01:07:50,969 --> 01:07:55,499 discuss every little things. Yes, the core here. Now. Trying 1185 01:07:55,529 --> 01:08:00,899 I will say this that I like DeSantis less DeSantis less and 1186 01:08:00,899 --> 01:08:01,409 less 1187 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,240 Adam Curry: Ditto. And I tell you why. 1188 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,290 John C Dvorak: Key Yes. And I'll tell you why. I like him less 1189 01:08:07,290 --> 01:08:09,000 and less after you tell me what 1190 01:08:09,030 --> 01:08:11,520 Adam Curry: I like him less and less because he is following the 1191 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:17,040 American media model of strife and outrage against the other 1192 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,700 side. So All he says is I'm gonna be against the world mob 1193 01:08:20,700 --> 01:08:24,510 screw those people. That is not a winning strategy. I just in 1194 01:08:24,510 --> 01:08:26,970 fact. Yeah. All right. So 1195 01:08:27,180 --> 01:08:29,850 John C Dvorak: I would, right now's the time I would have said 1196 01:08:29,850 --> 01:08:38,760 105% Oh, you're not in fact, there was Laura Ingram who did a 1197 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,810 show on him recently and she came up with she actually put 1198 01:08:42,810 --> 01:08:46,320 together a couple of suit little clips. I have later a little 1199 01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,530 super clips about what everyone thinks about him. And she made 1200 01:08:49,530 --> 01:08:53,220 this exact exact same point you're making, which is that if 1201 01:08:53,220 --> 01:08:56,850 he would concentrate on the economy, inflation, the price of 1202 01:08:56,850 --> 01:09:01,230 gasoline and immigration and get off this woke bull, I'm the anti 1203 01:09:01,230 --> 01:09:06,270 woke guy. Bull crap. That would probably help him because this 1204 01:09:06,270 --> 01:09:11,490 is nonsense. Yeah. That's not what bothers me. Oh, okay. I 1205 01:09:11,490 --> 01:09:12,660 just don't like his voice. 1206 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,620 Adam Curry: I agree. He has a Flim Flam voice. He has no 1207 01:09:16,620 --> 01:09:17,160 power. 1208 01:09:17,190 --> 01:09:21,180 John C Dvorak: Yes. You got it right. powerless, lacking any 1209 01:09:21,180 --> 01:09:27,060 balls voice Wallace baulas voice and he is kind of screeches and 1210 01:09:27,060 --> 01:09:30,990 he's got like a, it's like, you know, he's Yeah, he's got a it 1211 01:09:30,990 --> 01:09:34,530 doesn't have a commanding voice. He's got a whiny 1212 01:09:34,529 --> 01:09:36,059 Adam Curry: voice so interesting. And also the 1213 01:09:36,059 --> 01:09:38,999 haircut is you could definitely be better. But that's so 1214 01:09:38,999 --> 01:09:43,979 interesting. Because, you know, Frau Ingraham I didn't see that 1215 01:09:43,979 --> 01:09:48,149 of course, but the he did a good job with we know what he did 1216 01:09:48,149 --> 01:09:52,649 against the transitioning for you know, teens and you know, 1217 01:09:53,219 --> 01:09:56,309 everything in Florida, that you'd just be like, Okay, I did 1218 01:09:56,309 --> 01:09:59,609 that I got other stuff to do. Instead, she would say that's 1219 01:09:59,609 --> 01:10:03,989 his whole All Campaign it's like no wait, you can't. You can't 1220 01:10:03,989 --> 01:10:08,699 you don't think he's no good. You can't win by putting in work 1221 01:10:08,699 --> 01:10:12,989 and now. Mel's really you can't win by pitting Americans against 1222 01:10:12,989 --> 01:10:14,429 each other it's just dumb. 1223 01:10:16,529 --> 01:10:19,499 John C Dvorak: So here we go with DeSantis to 1224 01:10:19,859 --> 01:10:22,979 Unknown: Florida is where wo goes to die. 1225 01:10:24,420 --> 01:10:27,780 He heard cheers early as a Florida kid making it to the 1226 01:10:27,780 --> 01:10:31,650 Little League World Series Baseball player at Yale as well. 1227 01:10:31,710 --> 01:10:35,520 He then went on to Harvard Law School from there DeSantis chose 1228 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,790 the military. As an officer with the Navy's Judge Advocate 1229 01:10:38,790 --> 01:10:41,640 General he worked at the Guantanamo Bay Prison in Cuba. 1230 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,900 When former detainee alleges DeSantis oversaw beatings and 1231 01:10:45,900 --> 01:10:49,650 forced feedings of prisoners, which he has denied. He also 1232 01:10:49,650 --> 01:10:54,720 served in Iraq and was awarded a Bronze Star in 2012 DeSantis row 1233 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,320 the Tea Party wave into Congress, where he opposed Obama 1234 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,280 administration policies that really stood out. That changed 1235 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:06,750 in 2018. They call him the Conservatives conservative, then 1236 01:11:06,750 --> 01:11:10,260 39 DeSantis made his move running for governor of the 1237 01:11:10,260 --> 01:11:13,950 Sunshine State, initially trailing in the primary DeSantis 1238 01:11:13,950 --> 01:11:16,950 launched an all out blitz for then President Trump's 1239 01:11:16,980 --> 01:11:21,030 endorsement, put in his young family in the most famous ad of 1240 01:11:21,030 --> 01:11:21,600 the year. 1241 01:11:21,660 --> 01:11:26,070 Adam Curry: Then Mr. Trump said, You're fired. I love that part. 1242 01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:28,710 Unknown: He won Trump's endorsement, the primary and 1243 01:11:28,710 --> 01:11:32,220 then a razor thin victory in November to become governor. 1244 01:11:32,370 --> 01:11:37,680 All I can promise is the sweat off my brow, a full heart, my 1245 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,980 best judgment and the courage of my convictions, 1246 01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,040 Governor DeSantis made a national name for himself in the 1247 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:48,030 COVID pandemic, quickly ending stay at home orders and opposing 1248 01:11:48,030 --> 01:11:53,790 mask and vaccine mandates. The state saw a wave of deaths, 1249 01:11:54,150 --> 01:11:56,820 Adam Curry: women, why didn't she add in there that he 1250 01:11:56,820 --> 01:12:01,800 narrowly won because they they shy up to the other guy, the 1251 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,520 Democrat with drugs and male prostitutes. 1252 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:06,750 John C Dvorak: He left that out. 1253 01:12:07,260 --> 01:12:09,000 Adam Curry: I should have put that in that would have been 1254 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:09,930 good. Well, she was 1255 01:12:09,930 --> 01:12:12,150 John C Dvorak: already on a roll with the you know, these 1256 01:12:12,150 --> 01:12:16,800 watching us over looking torture, and he's a creep. And 1257 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,560 then at the end, the little ditty at the end was the one 1258 01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:23,310 that just was I had to stop it DeRose with he a little beat up 1259 01:12:23,310 --> 01:12:28,470 against the COVID policies, then there was a waves of death. Play 1260 01:12:28,470 --> 01:12:31,050 that little ending against where we get a good feeling for what 1261 01:12:31,050 --> 01:12:32,010 they're trying to do here. 1262 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,200 Unknown: That was pretty good for himself in the COVID 1263 01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,160 pandemic, quickly ending stay at home orders and opposing mask 1264 01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:43,380 and vaccine mandates. The state saw a wave of debt. 1265 01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:50,730 Adam Curry: I love the beep, beep that should have had that 1266 01:12:51,210 --> 01:12:51,690 you and I 1267 01:12:52,860 --> 01:12:54,510 John C Dvorak: guess what you would have? I would have done 1268 01:12:54,510 --> 01:12:59,460 this course we know what we're doing debts dynamite. Wave of 1269 01:12:59,460 --> 01:13:02,250 debt. So I looked into you know, we have to remind ourselves that 1270 01:13:02,250 --> 01:13:07,680 actually in 2020, Florida was at the top of the list for having 1271 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,340 the least the number of deaths per capita that whole year, 1272 01:13:11,610 --> 01:13:15,300 which was the initial year of COVID. And it was that they were 1273 01:13:15,300 --> 01:13:18,360 number 11 in the country. So this is bullcrap. This is just 1274 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:19,680 the opposite is grayed out. This 1275 01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:20,490 Adam Curry: is good work. 1276 01:13:21,780 --> 01:13:25,440 John C Dvorak: Oh, it's dynamite. But once the vaccines 1277 01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:28,710 were introduced, Oh, yeah. And you have that elderly 1278 01:13:28,710 --> 01:13:33,510 population. And the rest of it. It fell to the other side in the 1279 01:13:33,510 --> 01:13:37,500 next year and 2021 they would do it flipped that they were in one 1280 01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:39,900 of the worst states, not the worst. There were I think there 1281 01:13:39,900 --> 01:13:44,580 were like 35 or something like they were one of the worst. But 1282 01:13:44,580 --> 01:13:47,430 they weren't the worst. But during the initial part where 1283 01:13:47,430 --> 01:13:51,750 they were where it made a difference to to not do this and 1284 01:13:51,750 --> 01:13:55,260 not do that and not locked down. They were really came out 1285 01:13:55,290 --> 01:13:57,750 smelling like a rose. It was when the vaccines were 1286 01:13:57,750 --> 01:13:59,940 introduced that that turned around, and there's a lot of 1287 01:13:59,970 --> 01:14:02,670 possible reasons for that, and including the elderly 1288 01:14:02,670 --> 01:14:03,450 population. And 1289 01:14:04,049 --> 01:14:06,239 Adam Curry: if I recall correctly, I think he was also 1290 01:14:06,269 --> 01:14:10,379 promoting them. He wasn't against them in the beginning 1291 01:14:11,129 --> 01:14:12,089 DeSantis 1292 01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:17,940 John C Dvorak: In fact, they have a very high I think close 1293 01:14:17,970 --> 01:14:23,430 closing an 80% vaccination rate. I think maybe 60 fully 1294 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:27,330 vaccinated. A lesser number especially all the deep south 1295 01:14:27,330 --> 01:14:32,520 the booster people are very low. I think it's 29% for Florida. So 1296 01:14:32,970 --> 01:14:36,000 anyway, so that's bull crap. So let's go on with clip three. 1297 01:14:36,030 --> 01:14:39,420 Unknown: The state saw a wave of deaths but a boon to the economy 1298 01:14:40,140 --> 01:14:42,240 Adam Curry: a boom but a boon to the economy. 1299 01:14:43,770 --> 01:14:46,260 John C Dvorak: Yes, now I stopped this one short short 1300 01:14:46,260 --> 01:14:51,120 because this is a very subtle piece of propaganda. They saw 1301 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:57,750 wave a desk but a boon boon to the economy. This is the classic 1302 01:14:57,750 --> 01:15:02,550 socialist Oh data had life means nothing to you, but the profit 1303 01:15:02,550 --> 01:15:07,740 motive. That means everything is a very subtle little point would 1304 01:15:07,740 --> 01:15:08,700 Adam Curry: catalysis and again, 1305 01:15:08,730 --> 01:15:11,430 Unknown: the state saw a wave of deaths but a boon to the 1306 01:15:11,430 --> 01:15:12,060 economy. 1307 01:15:12,630 --> 01:15:14,970 Adam Curry: Wow, she's had a hard time reading it, but a boon 1308 01:15:14,970 --> 01:15:17,880 to the economy. Wow, this is evil what I'm saying but okay, 1309 01:15:17,910 --> 01:15:18,450 I'll do it. 1310 01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:21,270 John C Dvorak: So that's a little trickery there that, 1311 01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:26,100 yeah. Human life means nothing to these Republicans but money, 1312 01:15:26,130 --> 01:15:31,020 money, money. So okay, I just said that one was so outrageous. 1313 01:15:31,020 --> 01:15:35,070 So let's go to now I have two clip fours. And you can play in 1314 01:15:35,070 --> 01:15:39,810 either one. Let's start with the long one. This is the deaths 1315 01:15:39,810 --> 01:15:40,380 clip 1316 01:15:40,650 --> 01:15:43,020 Unknown: to use state resources to fly migrants from the 1317 01:15:43,020 --> 01:15:47,100 southern border to places like Martha's Vineyard. In 2022, he 1318 01:15:47,100 --> 01:15:50,310 signed the parental rights and Education Act, banning talk of 1319 01:15:50,310 --> 01:15:53,370 sexual orientation and gender identity before the fourth 1320 01:15:53,370 --> 01:16:01,470 grade. Critics call the law don't say gay when the Walt 1321 01:16:01,470 --> 01:16:05,190 Disney Company, Florida's largest employer openly oppose 1322 01:16:05,190 --> 01:16:07,800 the law. DeSantis launched a new fight. 1323 01:16:08,129 --> 01:16:11,789 This state is governed by the interests of the people of the 1324 01:16:11,789 --> 01:16:15,989 state of Florida. It is not based on the demands of 1325 01:16:15,989 --> 01:16:18,179 California corporate executives, 1326 01:16:18,330 --> 01:16:20,970 Disney and DeSantis have wrestled ever since with the 1327 01:16:20,970 --> 01:16:24,240 company recently pulling out of a billion dollar development in 1328 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,640 the state. Okay. 1329 01:16:27,570 --> 01:16:29,910 John C Dvorak: All right. So we got this pulling out of the 1330 01:16:29,910 --> 01:16:34,230 development was already Oh crap, if you don't if you're going to 1331 01:16:34,230 --> 01:16:36,660 invest a billion dollars is because you expect to make 2 1332 01:16:36,660 --> 01:16:40,950 billion Yeah, I mean, you don't pull out because of the spite 1333 01:16:40,950 --> 01:16:44,880 the governor. So that's nonsense. And most of the debt 1334 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:50,430 report had a bunch of kind of twisted logic, including the 1335 01:16:50,970 --> 01:16:52,560 part about Don't, don't say, 1336 01:16:52,590 --> 01:16:54,840 Adam Curry: well, at least he was honest. But critics called 1337 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,030 it don't say gay at least. But I like how they 1338 01:16:57,030 --> 01:16:59,190 John C Dvorak: actually did get their webinar. This next one's a 1339 01:16:59,190 --> 01:17:02,370 little sketchier. This is a clip for CRT, 1340 01:17:02,490 --> 01:17:05,220 Unknown: the state saw a wave of deaths, but a boon to the 1341 01:17:05,220 --> 01:17:05,880 economy. 1342 01:17:06,030 --> 01:17:10,920 If you are trying to lock people down, I am standing in your way 1343 01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:12,930 and I'm standing for the people of Florida. 1344 01:17:13,140 --> 01:17:16,230 That kind of cultural confrontation has become his 1345 01:17:16,230 --> 01:17:20,220 brand. In 2021, the state's Department of Education enacted 1346 01:17:20,250 --> 01:17:23,910 a ban on teaching critical race theory in schools, though it had 1347 01:17:23,910 --> 01:17:25,770 not been part of state curriculum. 1348 01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:31,110 John C Dvorak: Okay, this is kind of subtle. Isn't that good? 1349 01:17:31,140 --> 01:17:31,650 Hadn't been 1350 01:17:31,650 --> 01:17:33,390 Adam Curry: part of the curriculum, by the way. That's 1351 01:17:33,390 --> 01:17:37,020 what that's the that's the pat answer is, it's not being 1352 01:17:37,020 --> 01:17:39,840 taught. It's not being taught. It's not on the curriculum. 1353 01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:44,730 John C Dvorak: It's being taught. Yes. And if and the 1354 01:17:44,730 --> 01:17:47,340 Florida teachers are the ones that were teaching it, we're 1355 01:17:47,340 --> 01:17:51,480 bragging about it. So this is bullcrap. Onto this is this is 1356 01:17:51,480 --> 01:17:53,700 kind of a weird kind of a lie. 1357 01:17:55,890 --> 01:17:59,940 Adam Curry: Nothing new. But, you know, 1358 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,420 John C Dvorak: so here's the last clip six before we play the 1359 01:18:03,420 --> 01:18:05,460 mini clips, but his clip six 1360 01:18:05,549 --> 01:18:08,189 Unknown: this year he signed a law banning abortion after six 1361 01:18:08,189 --> 01:18:11,369 weeks of pregnancy, and has questioned the US involvement in 1362 01:18:11,369 --> 01:18:14,849 the war in Ukraine. Through it all his policies became a 1363 01:18:14,849 --> 01:18:19,049 blueprint for other Republicans, but one ally has turned cold. 1364 01:18:19,709 --> 01:18:22,589 The problem with Rhonda sanctimonious is that he needs a 1365 01:18:22,589 --> 01:18:26,639 personality transplant. Those are not yet available. 1366 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,410 If the governor who has driven conversation on the right can 1367 01:18:31,410 --> 01:18:33,390 steer his way to the White House. 1368 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,390 Adam Curry: You noticed that they also on the day that and 1369 01:18:39,420 --> 01:18:43,590 this leads me to believe that it's all one big we would say in 1370 01:18:43,590 --> 01:18:47,940 the Netherlands one big wet pot. Ain't fault. Not they're all in 1371 01:18:47,940 --> 01:18:51,660 the same boiling pot together. They launched yet another 1372 01:18:51,660 --> 01:18:56,040 investigation on Trump. It's the exact time DeSantis announced 1373 01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:00,690 DeSantis announces Trump gets another investigation. This 1374 01:19:01,050 --> 01:19:03,840 coordinated, it's coordinated. It's totally 1375 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,960 John C Dvorak: it's yes, very coordinated. Now let's play this 1376 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:13,110 little mini clips about you know what the what are MSNBC and joy 1377 01:19:13,110 --> 01:19:16,860 Reid read and all these people are saying about DeSantis 1378 01:19:17,010 --> 01:19:21,270 because they have to start because he they don't want him? 1379 01:19:21,540 --> 01:19:25,350 No, no, they don't want any Republicans if they really don't 1380 01:19:25,350 --> 01:19:26,310 want really don't want to. 1381 01:19:26,550 --> 01:19:29,670 Adam Curry: They don't want to which one do I play the miniclub 1382 01:19:29,670 --> 01:19:29,790 is 1383 01:19:29,790 --> 01:19:31,620 John C Dvorak: just called DeSantis mini clips. 1384 01:19:31,650 --> 01:19:33,690 Unknown: There are a lot of younger people in that party 1385 01:19:33,690 --> 01:19:34,140 that are much 1386 01:19:34,140 --> 01:19:38,400 scarier. DeSantis for one this guy is a fascist. This is coming 1387 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,830 straight out of the authoritarian playbook. This is 1388 01:19:40,830 --> 01:19:43,710 what's so disturbing about DeSantis 1389 01:19:43,740 --> 01:19:49,650 DeSantis is almost the accelerated the racism as the 1390 01:19:49,650 --> 01:19:50,250 point in 1391 01:19:50,250 --> 01:19:54,210 his quest to run the most right wing fascist primary campaign 1392 01:19:54,210 --> 01:19:57,750 ever. DeSantis is throwing all the right wing putting at the 1393 01:19:57,750 --> 01:19:58,200 wall with 1394 01:19:58,230 --> 01:20:02,280 look i He's hard to get Along with one on one he's pretty 1395 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:02,790 awkward 1396 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,280 person when you're seeing these already going on one with one on 1397 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,320 one and he's not a great campaigner guy who, 1398 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:11,340 by the way is not expanding his own base of support and is also 1399 01:20:11,340 --> 01:20:13,980 not doing anything to help with the awkwardness because he's 1400 01:20:13,980 --> 01:20:14,820 awkward too. 1401 01:20:15,570 --> 01:20:17,190 Adam Curry: That's pretty weak. 1402 01:20:18,270 --> 01:20:20,580 John C Dvorak: Yeah, they call him an awkward fascist. 1403 01:20:20,610 --> 01:20:23,880 Adam Curry: They wanted to just call him gay.

We'll be we'll be 1408 01:20:35,340 --> 01:20:37,290 John C Dvorak: done with the details so you can take it over 1409 01:20:37,290 --> 01:20:41,730 but I have been watching some of the view stuff is just so hard 1410 01:20:41,730 --> 01:20:42,240 to watch. 1411 01:20:42,780 --> 01:20:45,150 Adam Curry: It's not it's not hard to listen to and it's short 1412 01:20:45,180 --> 01:20:45,780 his cat 1413 01:20:45,780 --> 01:20:50,520 Unknown: down in Florida. I mean, why people notice a 1414 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:57,030 problem in Florida. This one I just wanted to say everybody no 1415 01:20:57,030 --> 01:21:02,730 problem. We know but the problem for me is if you come from 1416 01:21:02,730 --> 01:21:08,220 Florida, and you got family down there saying to people try to 1417 01:21:08,220 --> 01:21:12,450 avoid it doesn't work. Yeah, we've got it we've got to do 1418 01:21:12,450 --> 01:21:15,450 something different. I love them double ACP because I know that 1419 01:21:15,450 --> 01:21:17,910 they're they're trying to do the right thing. But this you know, 1420 01:21:17,910 --> 01:21:20,820 there's a lot of black people in Florida who live there who grew 1421 01:21:20,820 --> 01:21:24,030 up there who have been there. Yeah. So we have to find a 1422 01:21:24,030 --> 01:21:26,460 better way to say we got issues. 1423 01:21:27,210 --> 01:21:30,840 Adam Curry: I am unaware of issues with black people in 1424 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:31,590 Florida. 1425 01:21:31,860 --> 01:21:35,640 John C Dvorak: And you know, the kicker. The head of the N double 1426 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:41,400 ACP, who wrote that debt edict lives in Florida. Here's Anna 1427 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:42,480 Adam Curry: Navarro on the view, 1428 01:21:42,510 --> 01:21:46,440 Unknown: the NAACP actually issued a travel advisory against 1429 01:21:46,440 --> 01:21:50,460 going to Florida. The formal travelled notice states, Florida 1430 01:21:50,460 --> 01:21:54,750 is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and 1431 01:21:54,750 --> 01:21:58,710 LGBTQ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please 1432 01:21:58,710 --> 01:22:01,740 understand that the state of Florida devalues and 1433 01:22:01,740 --> 01:22:05,730 marginalizes the contributions of and the challenges faced by 1434 01:22:05,730 --> 01:22:06,750 African Americans. 1435 01:22:07,500 --> 01:22:11,280 Adam Curry: So I love I love with the NAACP has now also 1436 01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:16,680 taken over the watch of colored people. Because that's what 1437 01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:21,630 stands for National Advanced National Association for the 1438 01:22:21,630 --> 01:22:26,250 Advancement of Colored People, which is a racist term by 1439 01:22:26,250 --> 01:22:31,800 itself. I thought, now Oh, LGBTQ. Miami is gay heaven. What 1440 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,730 are you talking about? And then gite take me out to the keys. 1441 01:22:35,790 --> 01:22:38,820 But but the point but let's make sure we make the point gay 1442 01:22:38,820 --> 01:22:44,130 heaven, not trans heaven. Yes, gay. Very solid, gay heaven. 1443 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:45,000 Exactly. 1444 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,380 John C Dvorak: Yeah, man. Don Lemon lives in Florida. 1445 01:22:49,410 --> 01:22:52,950 Adam Curry: And what? Whoa, whoa. I mean, what time is it? 1446 01:22:53,010 --> 01:22:56,070 What kind of well, actually, here's a report from ABC 1447 01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,280 Unknown: tonight after accusing Governor Ron DeSantis of a quote 1448 01:22:59,310 --> 01:23:03,630 all out attack on black Americans. Oh, NAACP issuing a 1449 01:23:03,630 --> 01:23:07,920 travel advisory for Florida, Georgia and other civil rights 1450 01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,890 groups that have warned against traveling to the top tourist 1451 01:23:10,890 --> 01:23:15,150 destination, the NAACP now accusing the state of Florida of 1452 01:23:15,150 --> 01:23:18,690 being openly hostile toward African Americans, people of 1453 01:23:18,690 --> 01:23:21,720 color and LGBTQ plus individuals. 1454 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:28,260 Adam Curry: The NAACP doesn't get to warn LGBTQ peoples. This 1455 01:23:28,260 --> 01:23:33,000 whole thing this is this is laughable. The NAACP just put 1456 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:37,080 themselves into the into the clown world. That is so dumb. 1457 01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:41,070 Everybody knows this is dumb. Like there's no black people in 1458 01:23:41,070 --> 01:23:45,270 Florida or black people don't go to Disney. It's probably good. 1459 01:23:45,420 --> 01:23:47,250 Don't indoctrinate your children. 1460 01:23:50,070 --> 01:23:51,240 John C Dvorak: Probably is good. 1461 01:23:52,170 --> 01:23:56,760 Adam Curry: Alright, a couple of fun things here. So besides that 1462 01:23:56,790 --> 01:24:02,010 DeSantis is only he's only against a woke or the woke mob 1463 01:24:02,010 --> 01:24:06,000 wokeness goes, dude, that is that is Yeah, that's a problem. 1464 01:24:06,030 --> 01:24:08,760 And you did a great job did great things in Florida. We did 1465 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:10,920 that in Texas, too. But no one's walking around. Like I mean 1466 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,440 president because I'm gonna go against the rest of America. 1467 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,550 Even Trump is not that stupid. He does. He just doesn't do 1468 01:24:17,550 --> 01:24:23,220 that. Dumb. So, but why is this because that's all he's got. 1469 01:24:23,790 --> 01:24:26,640 That's why he's focused on it. And he only also panders to the 1470 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,610 Bitcoiners. A little bit with the there'll be no central bank 1471 01:24:29,610 --> 01:24:32,610 digital currency. That's not even for you to say my brother. 1472 01:24:32,940 --> 01:24:35,190 That's the central bank who gets to do that? You don't you don't 1473 01:24:35,190 --> 01:24:40,530 have a say over that. But also he is funded by some of the 1474 01:24:40,530 --> 01:24:44,460 biggest hedge fund people on Wall Street big Wall Street 1475 01:24:44,460 --> 01:24:48,960 money. And I also think some of the big money behind wall I'll 1476 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:54,480 just say it behind a daily wire. Ben Shapiro's outfit, and one of 1477 01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:59,700 our producers did a dynamite job figuring this out. So So he had 1478 01:24:59,700 --> 01:25:04,680 this video which was kind of a weak version of Trump's behind 1479 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:08,850 the scenes behind the flag walking on the stage. You saw it 1480 01:25:09,510 --> 01:25:14,160 now with with the with the with the boom, boom, the music behind 1481 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:15,480 him. Yeah, and 1482 01:25:15,630 --> 01:25:17,970 John C Dvorak: before we continue, I want to remind 1483 01:25:17,970 --> 01:25:21,930 people that Ben Shapiro is one of the first and earliest anti 1484 01:25:21,930 --> 01:25:23,550 Trump errs. So now 1485 01:25:23,580 --> 01:25:26,580 Adam Curry: listen up. 35 seconds only listen to the music 1486 01:25:26,610 --> 01:25:30,150 Unknown: in Florida. We've proved that it can be done. We 1487 01:25:30,150 --> 01:25:35,130 chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and 1488 01:25:35,130 --> 01:25:39,450 order over rioting and disorder. We held the line when freedom 1489 01:25:39,450 --> 01:25:43,260 hugging the boundaries, we showed that we can and must 1490 01:25:43,590 --> 01:25:48,000 revitalize America, we need the courage to lead and the strength 1491 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:52,050 to win. I'm Ron DeSantis. And I'm running for president to 1492 01:25:52,050 --> 01:25:54,780 lead our great American comeback. 1493 01:26:01,740 --> 01:26:05,700 Adam Curry: So you know me, I'm clearly at least one of our 1494 01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:08,940 producers. Is it interesting? What music are you using? This 1495 01:26:08,940 --> 01:26:15,960 turns out to be a track by Davis with Hain as called the queen of 1496 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:19,740 the violin. And this is it. This is the track. You can get it on 1497 01:26:19,740 --> 01:26:23,700 Spotify. There's a YouTube video and get it on Amazon. Well, 1498 01:26:23,700 --> 01:26:27,600 wouldn't you believe it is the it's obscure. It's obscure. It's 1499 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,480 good, but it's obscure. It's not a it's not a traditional 1500 01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:34,470 classical peace. Well, wouldn't you believe that it was used in 1501 01:26:34,470 --> 01:26:36,090 this as well, the highest 1502 01:26:36,540 --> 01:26:41,490 Unknown: ethical spirit to which we're beholden, is presented as 1503 01:26:41,490 --> 01:26:45,810 precisely as that spirit that aligns itself with the cause of 1504 01:26:45,810 --> 01:26:50,640 freedom against tyranny. To get on this, 1505 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,160 but do you want the villains to learn before they have to pay 1506 01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:53,700 the ultimate 1507 01:26:53,700 --> 01:26:57,480 Adam Curry: price? It's such a Christian question. That is 1508 01:26:57,480 --> 01:27:00,870 Jordan V. Peterson. Now on the daily wire, these fuckers 1509 01:27:00,870 --> 01:27:06,600 produced a John sorry, I didn't mean to curse. They produce it. 1510 01:27:06,750 --> 01:27:09,720 They produced it. This is a daily wire even the video now 1511 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,220 you look at the video. That's an 1512 01:27:11,220 --> 01:27:13,680 John C Dvorak: outstanding catch. I mean, are produced why 1513 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,680 else? We don't even find that music. Thank you. Unless you 1514 01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,890 already had it in your library. You thought it was cool. Yep. 1515 01:27:20,130 --> 01:27:22,980 Yep, it is cool. You and you had the permission to use it. They, 1516 01:27:23,100 --> 01:27:25,890 you know, they if there was a licensing deal was already done 1517 01:27:25,890 --> 01:27:26,520 already had 1518 01:27:26,550 --> 01:27:29,670 Adam Curry: done. It was already taken care of Easy, easy to add 1519 01:27:29,670 --> 01:27:38,250 to it. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. So here is I think is 1520 01:27:38,250 --> 01:27:44,610 a French 24 retelling of the Ron DeSantis Twitter launch, which I 1521 01:27:44,610 --> 01:27:48,450 think also you and I if we were consulting, we would have said 1522 01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:53,880 no, this is why bro. Wouldn't we have said that? Like don't don't 1523 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:56,490 launch with Elon Musk on Twitter. What was what was his 1524 01:27:56,490 --> 01:27:59,790 point is what was the point? Is it like, well, Trump did it on 1525 01:27:59,790 --> 01:28:05,190 Twitter, so I can do it. Well, Trump, you know, he did not 1526 01:28:05,190 --> 01:28:09,240 announce on Twitter, but he used Twitter to his advantage. Yeah, 1527 01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,820 well, you know, he could do that. But now the way Trump 1528 01:28:11,820 --> 01:28:13,800 announced that he came down, he should have done a big press 1529 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:17,790 John C Dvorak: conference and done at some place in DC or I 1530 01:28:17,790 --> 01:28:20,820 think Miami or someplace like that wouldn't be audience. 1531 01:28:20,849 --> 01:28:23,819 Adam Curry: I think he doesn't have it in him. I don't think he 1532 01:28:23,819 --> 01:28:27,059 can command a big audience. I don't think he has. He doesn't 1533 01:28:27,059 --> 01:28:31,019 have the presence. He doesn't have the voice coached. No, no. 1534 01:28:31,019 --> 01:28:31,229 You 1535 01:28:31,230 --> 01:28:33,120 John C Dvorak: know who he you know, if you want to win here, I 1536 01:28:33,210 --> 01:28:37,590 just came to mind. I was just looking over these clips. Before 1537 01:28:37,590 --> 01:28:41,550 I before the show. Whatever happened to Kellyanne Conway, 1538 01:28:42,030 --> 01:28:45,030 she is actually something of a genius when it comes to 1539 01:28:45,090 --> 01:28:49,950 elections. Well, they hate her. They do they must because they 1540 01:28:49,950 --> 01:28:54,030 won't know she should have been hired. They prize what you know 1541 01:28:54,030 --> 01:28:56,760 there was an old make sure you do what the consultants tell you 1542 01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,000 well, if it was consoles was Kellyanne Conway probably do 1543 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,830 that but the rest of these people are idiots 1544 01:29:01,860 --> 01:29:04,710 Adam Curry: I have a feeling that they even went to the 1545 01:29:04,710 --> 01:29:08,700 boring guy from from daily wire and he and they consulted him on 1546 01:29:08,700 --> 01:29:15,690 it. This whole thing reeks of daily wire Libris stuff. You 1547 01:29:15,690 --> 01:29:16,950 know what? I like that 1548 01:29:17,070 --> 01:29:20,760 John C Dvorak: daily wire limp wrist stuff. 1549 01:29:20,790 --> 01:29:22,740 Adam Curry: I'm not saying that they're I mean has nothing to do 1550 01:29:22,740 --> 01:29:24,660 with a sexuality but it's we 1551 01:29:24,690 --> 01:29:27,030 John C Dvorak: know but they're limp wrist. You're right. Yeah, 1552 01:29:27,090 --> 01:29:29,100 yeah, they're light in the loafers even. 1553 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,390 Adam Curry: Let's not take it too far. Here is a friend's 24 1554 01:29:33,390 --> 01:29:35,370 reporting on this botch of a launch. It 1555 01:29:35,370 --> 01:29:39,750 Unknown: was a chaotic start to a much anticipated presidential 1556 01:29:39,750 --> 01:29:44,490 campaign launch it to took about 25 minutes for Ron DeSantis to 1557 01:29:44,490 --> 01:29:48,090 finally be able to make his big announcement after a Twitter 1558 01:29:48,090 --> 01:29:52,110 servers got so overwhelmed that it caused a major technical 1559 01:29:52,140 --> 01:29:56,940 issues. But once DeSantis was finally able to speak he focused 1560 01:29:56,940 --> 01:30:00,210 most of his remarks on the culture wars that have come had 1561 01:30:00,210 --> 01:30:04,260 to define most of his time as governor of Florida promising 1562 01:30:04,290 --> 01:30:08,610 his supporters that he would, quote, never surrendered to the 1563 01:30:08,610 --> 01:30:12,270 woke mob. He also took some swipes at the former President 1564 01:30:12,270 --> 01:30:16,380 Donald Trump, though he did not directly name him, for example, 1565 01:30:16,380 --> 01:30:20,430 as saying that we must end the culture of losing that has 1566 01:30:20,430 --> 01:30:26,220 infected the Republican Party in recent years. And while the goal 1567 01:30:26,250 --> 01:30:31,320 of DeSantis and his team was of course to launch this campaign 1568 01:30:31,440 --> 01:30:35,370 in a brand new way that would bring a lot of publicity D a few 1569 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:39,510 100,000 people who actually tuned in to listen to the 1570 01:30:39,510 --> 01:30:44,100 governor of Florida are really no match to the audience's that 1571 01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:49,440 can be generated by traditional cable news networks. And that is 1572 01:30:49,440 --> 01:30:54,180 why Ron DeSantis followed up his Twitter launch with an 1573 01:30:54,180 --> 01:30:58,680 appearance on the Conservative News Network of Fox News before 1574 01:30:58,830 --> 01:31:03,990 he is said to hold a traditional campaign or rally which is 1575 01:31:03,990 --> 01:31:06,630 expected sometime this weekend in Florida. 1576 01:31:07,530 --> 01:31:10,290 Adam Curry: And of course, he went on the Democrat run Fox 1577 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:16,170 because they're, they're all in on it ain't both not. They're 1578 01:31:16,170 --> 01:31:19,650 all in on it's all it's all. This is actually a giant sigh 1579 01:31:19,650 --> 01:31:24,000 off. I really and you know, a lot of people are gonna fall for 1580 01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:27,600 it. They will but I think I'm looking forward to seeing what 1581 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:31,290 he does this weekend in front of a crowd. I don't think he I 1582 01:31:31,290 --> 01:31:33,270 don't think he can do it. I don't think he can get the 1583 01:31:33,570 --> 01:31:38,640 people all riled up. Other than we'll never let the walk mob 1584 01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,640 take over.

So you could actually 2277 02:13:07,290 --> 02:13:13,350 use bits of their audio. So Keith is at MIT, who is no one's 2278 02:13:13,350 --> 02:13:17,010 advising him now. Now. He has nobody to help him. But he had 2279 02:13:17,010 --> 02:13:19,860 it pretty good piece. Because you know what he's doing now? Is 2280 02:13:19,860 --> 02:13:23,610 he just sending microphones to people and saying, Go honeypot 2281 02:13:23,610 --> 02:13:28,530 somebody and it's great. So we had one of his O'Keeffe Media 2282 02:13:28,530 --> 02:13:34,920 Group people's a girl or a young woman clearly hitting on this 2283 02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:39,780 dude Luke Borg Borg again, we're wagon, who was a staffer for 2284 02:13:39,780 --> 02:13:44,880 John Fetterman. And by the way, this works so well. You know us 2285 02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:47,340 hey, I'd like to have lunch with you and then you just start 2286 02:13:47,340 --> 02:13:50,670 asking questions and this guy you know, he's his blood is 2287 02:13:50,880 --> 02:13:54,540 drained from his brain he's just saying anything that he can get 2288 02:13:54,540 --> 02:13:58,080 a get a look at this woman. No, we don't see her but it doesn't 2289 02:13:58,080 --> 02:14:02,790 matter. I know how this works. So here's here's the TV a 2290 02:14:02,790 --> 02:14:04,350 John C Dvorak: lot of guys would fall for this. 2291 02:14:05,009 --> 02:14:09,749 Adam Curry: Yes. Well, that's how they got the Pfizer guy on a 2292 02:14:09,749 --> 02:14:13,079 on a date with a with a guy.

So, O'Keefe sets us up and 2295 02:14:19,740 --> 02:14:23,070 makes us laugh. And then I went through the trouble of fixing 2296 02:14:23,070 --> 02:14:26,160 his audio to listen to the original which is much better. 2297 02:14:26,190 --> 02:14:26,490 Laura 2298 02:14:26,490 --> 02:14:29,130 Unknown: Wiggins Special Assistant to John Fetterman says 2299 02:14:29,130 --> 02:14:32,220 that they pick journalists that will quote say exactly what the 2300 02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:38,070 you want them to.

Yes, 2304 02:14:47,670 --> 02:14:51,270 Adam Curry: that's why I stopped short here. But now I fixed the 2305 02:14:51,270 --> 02:14:55,920 audio. I fixed it.

Yes. Why the 2424 02:21:52,110 --> 02:21:55,980 playbook is part of the playbook. Now. I got one clip 2425 02:21:55,980 --> 02:21:58,620 here this week. I got to talk about Ukraine today. But we 2426 02:21:58,620 --> 02:22:01,890 should at least talk about the Ukraine back moot. I do already 2427 02:22:01,890 --> 02:22:03,810 count.

Ukraine has not said how many of its 2435 02:22:27,060 --> 02:22:30,150 soldiers have died in Russia's invasion. And let's believe the 2436 02:22:30,150 --> 02:22:33,120 nine month fight for back mode alone costs the lives of 10s of 2437 02:22:33,120 --> 02:22:34,260 1000s of soldiers. 2438 02:22:34,290 --> 02:22:37,110 Adam Curry: All right, hold on a second. I do have some reports 2439 02:22:37,110 --> 02:22:41,190 about Ukraine, and some very interesting ones, mainly from 2440 02:22:41,190 --> 02:22:45,420 France 24, where we tend to get the truth. So listen to this 2441 02:22:45,450 --> 02:22:47,280 from our friends at the Wagner group. 2442 02:22:47,580 --> 02:22:49,830 Unknown: Will this morning Ukraine's Deputy Defense 2443 02:22:49,830 --> 02:22:53,760 Minister Hannah Malia seems to confirm that the Ukrainians are 2444 02:22:53,760 --> 02:22:58,770 observing exactly that transfer of Wagner mercenaries to regular 2445 02:22:58,860 --> 02:23:02,610 Russian army troops on the outskirts of Baton Rouge. She 2446 02:23:02,610 --> 02:23:05,850 said they weren't observing it at the moment in the city center 2447 02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:08,730 where Vagner mercenaries remained but that's consonant 2448 02:23:08,730 --> 02:23:11,430 with what you've Kenny precose In has been saying, which is 2449 02:23:11,430 --> 02:23:14,340 that they'll fully pull out by June the first 2450 02:23:14,460 --> 02:23:16,890 Adam Curry: now what you're literally seeing in all of these 2451 02:23:16,890 --> 02:23:21,630 reports is that hot dog guy talking to two dudes, two dudes 2452 02:23:21,630 --> 02:23:27,630 in some in millet in military garb, with masks on so wears 2453 02:23:27,630 --> 02:23:31,230 bled to believe that the Wagner group now is transferring power 2454 02:23:31,350 --> 02:23:38,040 from hot dog man to two dudes with masks on very unconvincing. 2455 02:23:38,400 --> 02:23:41,280 Unknown: Slightly oddly, he had heard that he was going to leave 2456 02:23:41,310 --> 02:23:45,690 to what he described as elite members of the Vagner forces in 2457 02:23:45,720 --> 02:23:46,650 the city said he's 2458 02:23:46,650 --> 02:23:50,160 Adam Curry: leaving to members of the elite forces there please 2459 02:23:50,160 --> 02:23:50,910 during batchmates 2460 02:23:50,940 --> 02:23:55,890 Unknown: to help do probably Ukraine has not recognized 2461 02:23:55,890 --> 02:23:58,920 having fully lost control of that group. They say they still 2462 02:23:58,920 --> 02:24:03,030 hold some positions on the western outskirts of the city, 2463 02:24:03,150 --> 02:24:06,150 where Ukrainian commanders they're saying I've been telling 2464 02:24:06,150 --> 02:24:09,900 my colleague from France 24 Spanish channel anyway, that 2465 02:24:09,900 --> 02:24:14,130 Ukraine's plan is to push the Russians back further on the 2466 02:24:14,160 --> 02:24:18,570 northern and southern outskirts of the city and then sort of 2467 02:24:18,570 --> 02:24:22,050 tried to force them back into the city center and then bombard 2468 02:24:22,050 --> 02:24:25,710 them when they're there. That's Ukraine's strategy to take back 2469 02:24:25,740 --> 02:24:28,440 backwards in the medium term. Whether or not they'll be able 2470 02:24:28,440 --> 02:24:30,840 to pull it off though, is another question. So this 2471 02:24:30,840 --> 02:24:34,860 Adam Curry: is all bullcrap. And the whole plan which France 24 2472 02:24:34,860 --> 02:24:38,280 just told the world No, they're gonna they're gonna have a guy 2473 02:24:38,280 --> 02:24:40,710 some guys up north and guys down below and they're gonna bomb 2474 02:24:40,710 --> 02:24:43,620 them together and that'll get them.

You saw this? Yes.

This is wait 2481 02:25:07,620 --> 02:25:09,840 until you hear this report from France 24 2482 02:25:09,870 --> 02:25:12,840 Unknown: leaving food here to this secret location towards 2483 02:25:12,840 --> 02:25:15,210 Ukraine's northern border with Russia in a mind you 2484 02:25:15,210 --> 02:25:18,450 Adam Curry: what you're seeing, you're seeing some kind of 2485 02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:22,740 personnel carrier. There's three dudes sitting on this personnel 2486 02:25:22,740 --> 02:25:27,450 carrier, and there must be 100 journalists taking pictures 100 2487 02:25:27,570 --> 02:25:32,250 at the secret location, job, secret location we've been 2488 02:25:32,250 --> 02:25:35,550 brought here. I'm surprised this isn't on the BBC verify map. 2489 02:25:35,640 --> 02:25:38,580 Unknown: We've been brought here to this secret location towards 2490 02:25:38,610 --> 02:25:42,540 Ukraine's northern border with Russia in a highly mediatized 2491 02:25:42,570 --> 02:25:43,470 operation. 2492 02:25:43,890 --> 02:25:47,580 Adam Curry: A highly mediatized operation. Have you ever heard 2493 02:25:47,580 --> 02:25:48,810 of this? Guy?

What is 2499 02:25:58,860 --> 02:26:02,010 media? Is that even a word home to get to consult the book of 2500 02:26:02,010 --> 02:26:02,430 knowledge? I 2501 02:26:02,430 --> 02:26:04,560 John C Dvorak: don't take it as a word. But it might be a well, 2502 02:26:04,590 --> 02:26:05,070 well, 2503 02:26:05,100 --> 02:26:08,550 Adam Curry: mediatized Yes, it is. mediatized is in the Free 2504 02:26:08,550 --> 02:26:13,380 Dictionary. First one I hit here mediatized to annex to a greater 2505 02:26:13,380 --> 02:26:16,800 state as means of permitting the rule of lesser state to remain 2506 02:26:16,800 --> 02:26:20,670 titled What to got to do with the media?

Let's see what 2509 02:26:25,920 --> 02:26:27,060 the context is and what 2510 02:26:27,960 --> 02:26:31,530 Unknown: secret location towards Ukraine's northern border with 2511 02:26:31,530 --> 02:26:36,000 Russia in a highly mediatized operation. We've been brought to 2512 02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:40,260 meet two groups the freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian 2513 02:26:40,380 --> 02:26:44,400 volunteer corpse who participated in the spectacular 2514 02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:48,540 incursion into Russian territory in the Belgorod region.

This is a very 2519 02:27:03,210 --> 02:27:07,620 interesting word they're using here. So does that mean that 2520 02:27:08,280 --> 02:27:13,500 they they consider this area of Russia to be actually Ukrainian? 2521 02:27:13,860 --> 02:27:18,330 Or is this used in the context of this as Ukrainian but it's 2522 02:27:18,330 --> 02:27:19,290 actually Russian. 2523 02:27:20,940 --> 02:27:23,640 John C Dvorak: So if this supposedly the way they've Anala 2524 02:27:23,670 --> 02:27:27,810 analyze this, at least our media friends, that this was not 2525 02:27:27,840 --> 02:27:31,050 nothing to do with Ukraine? Oh, no, no, this is a bunch of 2526 02:27:31,050 --> 02:27:33,870 Russians trying to get rid of Putin. Oh, wait until you hear 2527 02:27:33,870 --> 02:27:34,830 it. It's really 2528 02:27:34,860 --> 02:27:38,340 Unknown: unclear just how much support Ukrainian authorities 2529 02:27:38,340 --> 02:27:41,820 gave them. They've publicly denied any direct support, but 2530 02:27:41,820 --> 02:27:45,570 there's so much we don't know about how this incursion 2531 02:27:45,570 --> 02:27:49,680 happened. It's the first known joint operation involving these 2532 02:27:49,680 --> 02:27:53,970 two Russian paramilitary groups formed in Ukraine both ardently 2533 02:27:53,970 --> 02:27:54,840 anti Kremlin 2534 02:27:54,930 --> 02:27:58,560 first, we want to stop walk in a second 2535 02:27:58,950 --> 02:28:02,040 Adam Curry: go we want so this is the first guy he doesn't 2536 02:28:02,040 --> 02:28:03,900 really say anything interesting.

I don't care how Russians will 2560 02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:16,620 Unknown: call me they keep on calling us names. Traitors, 2561 02:29:16,710 --> 02:29:20,550 Nazis, Neo Nazis, actually to just to be correct. So why 2562 02:29:21,210 --> 02:29:22,020 should we care? 2563 02:29:22,710 --> 02:29:26,580 The implications of this incursion could be far reached 2564 02:29:26,580 --> 02:29:30,390 as well as any military impact it could have a psychological 2565 02:29:30,420 --> 02:29:33,990 impact to perhaps saying panic in Russia creating chaos. That's 2566 02:29:33,990 --> 02:29:37,920 what these men hope, but it also gives the Kremlin an argument to 2567 02:29:37,920 --> 02:29:43,290 say that Russia is a victim in this war. It also could divert 2568 02:29:43,290 --> 02:29:47,280 Russian troops away from other frontline areas in Ukraine as 2569 02:29:47,280 --> 02:29:48,990 they prepare that counter essences 2570 02:29:49,080 --> 02:29:51,780 Adam Curry: I think that this is the new group to watch. They 2571 02:29:51,780 --> 02:29:55,680 need a snazzy name, not Neo Nazis. Nico, nicotine, whatever 2572 02:29:55,680 --> 02:30:00,180 the guy's name is, he's a great spokesperson. He's much Better 2573 02:30:00,180 --> 02:30:04,770 than hot dog boy, I think that, you know, this this mediatized 2574 02:30:06,270 --> 02:30:09,060 information was immediate, and how would she call it? 2575 02:30:10,650 --> 02:30:11,550 John C Dvorak: mediatized. Now 2576 02:30:11,550 --> 02:30:14,580 Adam Curry: she called by the information, qu or something 2577 02:30:14,610 --> 02:30:15,150 like, No, I 2578 02:30:15,150 --> 02:30:16,470 John C Dvorak: didn't know what No, I missed that. 2579 02:30:17,340 --> 02:30:20,310 Adam Curry: This is the new thing to watch, because now, we 2580 02:30:20,310 --> 02:30:22,650 all need to be told they don't have to have a name. They got to 2581 02:30:22,650 --> 02:30:25,830 have a name, but we need to be talking about them causing, you 2582 02:30:25,830 --> 02:30:29,940 know, Strife and discord within Russia. Because they're going to 2583 02:30:29,940 --> 02:30:33,930 be against Putin. It's going to be civil war. I think this is 2584 02:30:33,960 --> 02:30:37,890 this is a strategy. They may not be the one but it's definitely a 2585 02:30:37,890 --> 02:30:42,510 strategy. And I think it's I think there's something there. 2586 02:30:43,200 --> 02:30:45,330 John C Dvorak: I smell Victoria Nuland. 2587 02:30:46,680 --> 02:30:50,490 Adam Curry: Wow, if there ever was an opening to the show. 2588 02:30:53,010 --> 02:30:55,860 Meanwhile, Jake Sullivan explains how they magically 2589 02:30:55,860 --> 02:30:58,560 found $3 billion to send to Ukraine, there was this 2590 02:30:58,560 --> 02:31:01,560 Unknown: very bizarre admission from the Pentagon this week of 2591 02:31:01,560 --> 02:31:05,310 an accounting error that suggested that the US has at 2592 02:31:05,310 --> 02:31:10,410 least $3 billion that it didn't know it had that it can use for 2593 02:31:10,410 --> 02:31:14,130 Ukraine aid. That's a hell of an accounting error. And it 2594 02:31:14,130 --> 02:31:20,070 provides a lot of fodder to critics of US aid to Ukraine and 2595 02:31:20,070 --> 02:31:23,730 critics who say there's not enough oversight going on. Are 2596 02:31:23,730 --> 02:31:25,500 you concerned about this accounting here? 2597 02:31:28,110 --> 02:31:30,720 Well, one thing I just want to make clear, that is not money 2598 02:31:30,720 --> 02:31:34,620 that went out the door and disappeared. That is not a waste 2599 02:31:34,620 --> 02:31:38,760 of that $3 billion. It is simply a tally of how much military 2600 02:31:38,760 --> 02:31:41,790 equipment we have given them. And the way that the Pentagon 2601 02:31:41,790 --> 02:31:45,510 was counting, it was what's the replacement cost for the 2602 02:31:45,510 --> 02:31:48,420 equipment we provide, rather than just the actual cost of 2603 02:31:48,420 --> 02:31:51,060 that equipment. Once you make that adjustment? It turns out, 2604 02:31:51,300 --> 02:31:56,340 we have an additional $3 billion that we can spend to provide 2605 02:31:56,370 --> 02:31:57,930 even more weapons to Ukraine, 2606 02:31:57,990 --> 02:32:02,460 Adam Curry: even more weapons to Ukraine. So so 2607 02:32:03,750 --> 02:32:05,880 John C Dvorak: they were counting it as what it costs to 2608 02:32:05,880 --> 02:32:08,610 buy as opposed to what it costs to replace that makes no sense 2609 02:32:08,610 --> 02:32:09,270 what he said. 2610 02:32:09,510 --> 02:32:11,670 Adam Curry: It does if you listen to and there's no 2611 02:32:11,670 --> 02:32:15,600 coincidence in the kingdom in the kingdom. 60 minutes at a 2612 02:32:15,600 --> 02:32:19,650 whole piece on the military gouging the American public with 2613 02:32:19,650 --> 02:32:22,530 the EU or the military industrial complex, supplying 2614 02:32:22,530 --> 02:32:26,070 Unknown: billions of dollars of munitions to Ukraine and growing 2615 02:32:26,070 --> 02:32:29,700 tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Some Pentagon generals are 2616 02:32:29,700 --> 02:32:33,390 sounding alarms about the dwindling supply of US weapons 2617 02:32:33,600 --> 02:32:37,260 at a time when the cost of replacing them is skyrocketing. 2618 02:32:37,860 --> 02:32:41,430 We wondered why the Pentagon is finding it hard to procure 2619 02:32:41,430 --> 02:32:45,810 weapons it needs at a price taxpayers can afford a six month 2620 02:32:45,810 --> 02:32:49,680 investigation by 60 minutes found it has less to do with 2621 02:32:49,680 --> 02:32:53,670 foreign entanglements than domestic ones. What can only be 2622 02:32:53,670 --> 02:32:57,810 described as price gouging by US defense contractors. 2623 02:32:57,840 --> 02:33:01,200 Adam Curry: Now this is 60 minutes. It's on CBS a CIA 2624 02:33:01,200 --> 02:33:05,190 broadcast systems that is this cannot be a coincidence that we 2625 02:33:05,190 --> 02:33:09,870 throw out this confusing $3 billion thing where people are 2626 02:33:09,870 --> 02:33:13,590 going Homina Homina Homina. And then 60 minutes does a whole 2627 02:33:13,590 --> 02:33:18,180 piece on on the military industrial complex gouging us. 2628 02:33:19,080 --> 02:33:23,070 This is not a coincidence. Here's here's just one little 2629 02:33:23,070 --> 02:33:25,650 bit of this, which I thought was great. 2630 02:33:25,770 --> 02:33:28,950 Unknown: The Pentagon granted companies unprecedented leeway 2631 02:33:28,950 --> 02:33:33,690 to monitor themselves. Instead of saving money. Assad told us 2632 02:33:33,690 --> 02:33:38,370 the price of almost everything began to rise in the competitive 2633 02:33:38,370 --> 02:33:42,390 environment before the company's consolidated a shoulder fired 2634 02:33:42,390 --> 02:33:48,900 stinger missile cost $25,000 in 1991, with Raytheon now the sole 2635 02:33:48,900 --> 02:33:54,300 supplier, it costs more than $400,000 to replace each missile 2636 02:33:54,300 --> 02:33:55,410 sent to Ukraine. 2637 02:33:56,310 --> 02:34:03,000 Adam Curry: A shoulder file fired missile costs $400,000. 2638 02:34:05,940 --> 02:34:10,260 John C Dvorak: This sounds like a gouge. This is 25 grand. This 2639 02:34:10,260 --> 02:34:11,730 is an outrage. 2640 02:34:12,570 --> 02:34:15,360 Unknown: Even accounting for inflation and some improvements. 2641 02:34:15,570 --> 02:34:17,700 That's a seven fold increase. 2642 02:34:19,260 --> 02:34:22,650 Adam Curry: Why? What is going on here? Someone's going after 2643 02:34:22,650 --> 02:34:28,260 the Pentagon someone's going after? I'm I don't know. I mean, 2644 02:34:28,260 --> 02:34:32,250 even pokey sharp shwarma is in on it. She had something to say 2645 02:34:32,250 --> 02:34:35,100 which which is not reported at all. 2646 02:34:35,130 --> 02:34:37,530 Unknown: A perfect storm is brewing in America, the US 2647 02:34:37,530 --> 02:34:40,680 government might soon run out of cash investors are preparing for 2648 02:34:40,680 --> 02:34:44,250 a government default and if that wasn't enough, now doubts are 2649 02:34:44,250 --> 02:34:48,420 being raised over American warplanes. A big lapse has come 2650 02:34:48,420 --> 02:34:52,320 to light at the Pentagon. Spare Parts worth millions of dollars 2651 02:34:52,920 --> 02:34:55,980 are missing. They are unaccounted for, and the 2652 02:34:55,980 --> 02:35:00,000 Pentagon cannot come up with an explanation which parts and 2653 02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:03,780 These, therefore the F 35 fighter jet, the most advanced 2654 02:35:03,780 --> 02:35:07,680 war plane in the world, also America's most important weapon 2655 02:35:07,680 --> 02:35:11,730 as of today. If there's a war, if there's a need to demonstrate 2656 02:35:11,760 --> 02:35:15,780 air power, the F 35 will be seen in action. But to keep that war 2657 02:35:15,780 --> 02:35:19,410 plane ready for battle, the US must maintain an inventory for 2658 02:35:19,410 --> 02:35:20,460 spare parts. 2659 02:35:22,800 --> 02:35:27,450 Adam Curry: Something's going on? What do you think is going 2660 02:35:27,450 --> 02:35:29,190 on here? I have no 2661 02:35:29,190 --> 02:35:31,710 John C Dvorak: idea. You're obviously going to try to put 2662 02:35:31,710 --> 02:35:38,970 the screws to some of these guys. Yeah. Why now? 2663 02:35:40,050 --> 02:35:42,900 Adam Curry: I don't know. I mean, well, what? And the only 2664 02:35:42,900 --> 02:35:45,840 thing they can say is, you know what? We're in real trouble 2665 02:35:45,840 --> 02:35:49,260 here. We need spare parts we need to replenish our supply. 2666 02:35:49,410 --> 02:35:53,310 We're so sorry. We know. I mean, it's going to be expensive. But 2667 02:35:53,310 --> 02:35:55,620 we need to do it and then we'll do it, then we'll then we'll do 2668 02:35:55,620 --> 02:35:58,320 an audit of the Pentagon. Probably never going to do an 2669 02:35:58,320 --> 02:36:02,790 audit. Of course not. But they will promise another one. Yes, 2670 02:36:02,790 --> 02:36:05,100 Lucy can pull the football many times. 2671 02:36:05,340 --> 02:36:09,210 John C Dvorak: This is basically just one giant scam. 2672 02:36:11,400 --> 02:36:17,430 Adam Curry: No, you don't say. I heard from one of our military 2673 02:36:18,360 --> 02:36:24,750 insiders. The f6 teams that we will be sending to Ukraine via 2674 02:36:24,780 --> 02:36:27,810 we know they will come from one of the European countries, 2675 02:36:28,290 --> 02:36:32,010 right? Most likely the Netherlands who cancelled a 40 2676 02:36:32,670 --> 02:36:38,490 unit sale to an American arms dealer. And that's exactly the 2677 02:36:38,490 --> 02:36:43,650 amount that Ukraine wants. T says they will be multiple 2678 02:36:43,650 --> 02:36:46,260 generations behind because we were discussing this, you know, 2679 02:36:46,260 --> 02:36:49,260 will they be the old things? What will it be multiple 2680 02:36:49,260 --> 02:36:52,980 generations behind? They will not have any of the high tech 2681 02:36:52,980 --> 02:36:56,130 gear that we have and we never sell our planes to other 2682 02:36:56,130 --> 02:37:00,690 countries with all the cool new gadgets. And they are very very 2683 02:37:00,690 --> 02:37:04,020 there's a whole history behind the F 16 is a very bare bones 2684 02:37:04,020 --> 02:37:09,990 thing. You actually have to be quite the pilot to operate these 2685 02:37:10,050 --> 02:37:14,010 well. It's not just let me train you in a couple of months and 2686 02:37:14,010 --> 02:37:20,700 you're good to go Tom Cruise. So look for lots of crashes. Lots 2687 02:37:20,700 --> 02:37:26,130 of lots of ejections is is basically the worst. A lot of 2688 02:37:26,130 --> 02:37:27,390 rejection. I don't know what 2689 02:37:27,390 --> 02:37:29,250 John C Dvorak: the hell's going on. I'm out of here. 2690 02:37:29,880 --> 02:37:32,700 Unknown: I'm going to show my school by donate to no agenda. 2691 02:37:32,760 --> 02:37:35,910 Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun 2692 02:37:43,470 --> 02:37:45,300 John C Dvorak: and we do have a few people to thank for show 2693 02:37:45,300 --> 02:37:51,060 1558 Starting with in, in field from parts unknown for 100 bucks 2694 02:37:51,060 --> 02:37:56,400 David I card in fair acres New Mexico. 100 bucks and moose lost 2695 02:37:56,400 --> 02:37:59,190 wages in Nevada comes in as the switcheroo actually for a 2696 02:37:59,190 --> 02:38:02,520 birthday. Doughnuts are his best friend and officiant of the 2697 02:38:02,520 --> 02:38:06,780 wedding John Aldridge. And he's got a birthday call for John all 2698 02:38:07,110 --> 02:38:10,500 that credit goes to him. That's $100 Sir Western Seattle 2699 02:38:10,500 --> 02:38:15,570 Washington does 100 He says he's waiting for the sad puppy. I 2700 02:38:15,570 --> 02:38:21,060 forgot all about the sad puppy. Jason Mara, we did have an issue 2701 02:38:21,060 --> 02:38:21,870 with the newsletter. 2702 02:38:21,900 --> 02:38:24,480 Adam Curry: Yeah. Was that? What happened? What happened with the 2703 02:38:24,480 --> 02:38:25,080 newsletter? 2704 02:38:25,529 --> 02:38:28,679 John C Dvorak: Well, nobody was opening them. And there was I 2705 02:38:28,679 --> 02:38:30,839 think it was because there were suicides. So I think it went to 2706 02:38:30,839 --> 02:38:35,729 some I think it was bypassed and they went Jesus. Okay, can we 2707 02:38:35,729 --> 02:38:41,129 shouldn't just ours in advocating for suicide? That 2708 02:38:41,129 --> 02:38:41,819 happened? Yeah, I 2709 02:38:41,820 --> 02:38:43,200 Adam Curry: think that's probably true. And it was 2710 02:38:43,200 --> 02:38:45,210 outlook was the one that caught it the most. 2711 02:38:45,420 --> 02:38:47,490 John C Dvorak: And then I look at a whole bunch of them out of 2712 02:38:47,490 --> 02:38:50,250 the blue and they were all Gmail accounts from Outlook. And 2713 02:38:50,550 --> 02:38:54,360 somebody sent me a note. Outlook does. 2714 02:38:55,560 --> 02:38:57,540 Adam Curry: Look for key words, probably 2715 02:38:57,570 --> 02:39:00,810 John C Dvorak: outlook manages Gmail. 2716 02:39:01,890 --> 02:39:05,670 Adam Curry: Outlook manages Gmail. That doesn't sound right. 2717 02:39:05,700 --> 02:39:07,920 John C Dvorak: There's some thing going on with Outlook and 2718 02:39:07,920 --> 02:39:10,950 Gmail. And there was like, we were talking about 40 or 50 of 2719 02:39:10,950 --> 02:39:17,370 these things. So so I had to send out a second little note in 2720 02:39:17,580 --> 02:39:22,290 in plain text and explained the situation and it usually results 2721 02:39:22,290 --> 02:39:27,390 in some extra additional donations, hopefully. And it 2722 02:39:27,390 --> 02:39:30,480 also we've had some other anomalies that have come cropped 2723 02:39:30,480 --> 02:39:33,510 up recently, somebody's few people are getting the thing and 2724 02:39:33,510 --> 02:39:37,590 spam. The outlook is a real problem. By the way, it sucks. 2725 02:39:39,060 --> 02:39:43,110 Sir Wes is up on the podium which Seattle Washington for 100 2726 02:39:43,110 --> 02:39:48,600 bucks is bitching about the missing sad puppy, Jason Maurer 2727 02:39:48,600 --> 02:39:52,170 in Vancouver 808 Kevin McLaughlin is back in Lucas 2728 02:39:52,170 --> 02:39:57,210 North Carolina with 808 and he says for show fit to fit in 58 2729 02:39:57,210 --> 02:40:00,900 is donated.

I'm only going to play the CNN version because it's 2991 02:57:07,050 --> 02:57:08,820 just too delicious to believe 2992 02:57:08,850 --> 02:57:12,090 Unknown: live look at beautiful New York City. But you better 2993 02:57:12,090 --> 02:57:15,690 look now, because apparently it's thinking. According to 2994 02:57:15,690 --> 02:57:18,570 geological study, the city skyscrapers are so heavy, 2995 02:57:18,570 --> 02:57:22,740 they're weighing down the island together, they weigh nearly 1.7 2996 02:57:22,740 --> 02:57:23,820 trillion pounds. 2997 02:57:23,850 --> 02:57:27,360 Adam Curry: So the whole idea of this report is that there's so 2998 02:57:27,360 --> 02:57:32,730 much concrete that the city is sinking, mind you two 2999 02:57:32,730 --> 02:57:37,080 millimeters a year, two millimeters, two months as 3000 02:57:37,110 --> 02:57:40,470 almost nothing and I don't know how you measure it. But I 3001 02:57:40,470 --> 02:57:42,870 John C Dvorak: think I think this was a misreporting of that 3002 02:57:42,870 --> 02:57:45,990 was somebody making a comment in New York City is stinking. 3003 02:57:47,250 --> 02:57:49,230 Adam Curry: Let's listen to how they twist this though. 3004 02:57:49,440 --> 02:57:51,690 Unknown: The study comes is the Army Corps of Engineers is 3005 02:57:51,690 --> 02:57:54,870 racing to find ways to prevent the city from being submerged. 3006 02:57:54,900 --> 02:57:57,060 Oh know what 3007 02:57:59,280 --> 02:58:01,950 Adam Curry: the Army Corps of Engineers is racing, because 3008 02:58:01,950 --> 02:58:06,810 we're sitting by by two millimeters a year we have to 3009 02:58:06,810 --> 02:58:10,140 race to save the city save the city. 3010 02:58:12,450 --> 02:58:16,140 Unknown: During future national natural disasters, oh my gosh, 3011 02:58:16,170 --> 02:58:21,780 Bill, we both live by the water in Brooklyn. And I like it. And 3012 02:58:21,780 --> 02:58:23,730 I would like to remain above sea level. 3013 02:58:23,760 --> 02:58:26,820 Adam Curry: Wait a minute. These people are all in on climate 3014 02:58:26,820 --> 02:58:29,670 change. Why are they living by the water? What is wrong with 3015 02:58:29,670 --> 02:58:31,380 you? Good.

It's only about the 3018 02:58:36,990 --> 02:58:40,020 thickness of a couple of couple of nickels. No, 3019 02:58:40,050 --> 02:58:43,680 Adam Curry: no, no, no. two millimeters would literally be 3020 02:58:43,680 --> 02:58:45,150 less than one nickel. But okay, 3021 02:58:45,570 --> 02:58:47,460 Unknown: that's about it over there. That's the average of the 3022 02:58:47,460 --> 02:58:49,590 whole city over a year. But certain parts of the city 3023 02:58:49,590 --> 02:58:53,010 depending on the soil, depending on groundwater is sinking faster 3024 02:58:53,010 --> 02:58:55,890 than other Staten Island more vulnerable here. The problem is 3025 02:58:55,890 --> 02:59:02,490 1.7 trillion tons of carbon dioxide that is that is melting 3026 02:59:02,490 --> 02:59:08,700 polar ice and raising sea. Going down, the water's coming up. 3027 02:59:08,910 --> 02:59:11,790 It's all a trade off. Now as we think about living in this new 3028 02:59:11,790 --> 02:59:15,690 world, lower Manhattan, obviously the financial center 3029 02:59:15,930 --> 02:59:19,560 of the universe in many places.
