The 47 00:02:49,380 --> 00:02:53,160 demonstrations have become a weekly event since 18 people 48 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,300 were killed in two mass shootings last month. Protesters 49 00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:00,570 are blaming government policies for promoting violence in the 50 00:03:00,570 --> 00:03:04,620 media, and are demanding the resignation of ministers or 51 00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:06,840 inverse which has more from Belgrade. 52 00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:10,710 It's been one month since the mass shooting in Belgrade's 53 00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:13,710 Ladislav Ribnica Elementary School. This is the fifth 54 00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:17,910 protest called Serbia against violence.

The protest walk in Belgrade started 59 00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:36,180 after speeches were given on the stage in front of National 60 00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:39,660 Assembly. Protesters repeated they want Minister of Interior 61 00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:42,720 Affairs and the chief of intelligence agency to resign 62 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,470 they also won the regulatory body for electronic media to cut 63 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:49,230 the concession rights for happy TV and think television 64 00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:52,470 terrestrial broadcast because they say it's their program that 65 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:54,780 promotes violence and hate speech. 66 00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:57,930 Adam Curry: Wow, this is really interesting and I didn't clip it 67 00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:01,380 I'm glad you got it because I only the only clip I got was 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,830 about they want violence off television but now you have the 69 00:04:04,830 --> 00:04:08,310 actual the actual TV channels in this clip but it's worth 70 00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:12,630 mentioning this Serbia Bosnia had this whole thing has been 71 00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:16,710 heating up we've been tracking it it started with the with the 72 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,820 with the mass shootings.

This is this is interesting. 74 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:26,220 John C Dvorak: What what's interesting about these clips is 75 00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:28,830 it doesn't bring into issue with Bosnia. 76 00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:33,750 Adam Curry: No, even though there's well it's 700. Troops. 77 00:04:34,050 --> 00:04:36,840 John C Dvorak: There's two things going on.

Which again, brings us to this stories about 80 00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:50,370 violence it I guess resolving problems with violence was 81 00:04:50,610 --> 00:04:55,170 always a major way of doing things in Serbia. Hence the tall 82 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:56,250 big guys. 83 00:04:57,930 --> 00:05:02,910 Adam Curry: You know, you should be the spoke Sman four fomer TV 84 00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:08,070 for more big guy hi hi um I want my foamer TV Oh my F TV. 85 00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:13,050 John C Dvorak: So the other action which is into in Bosnia 86 00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:16,110 which is and has to do with the elections is not this this is 87 00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:18,900 different. And this is kind of interesting because this is a 88 00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:20,670 big reported on it all we it's because 89 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,680 Adam Curry: I guess zero knows nothing nothing in fact we'd 90 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,530 like some of their happy TV stuff to be broadcast over here 91 00:05:28,530 --> 00:05:30,570 we don't have any of this violence on television people 92 00:05:30,570 --> 00:05:30,810 giving 93 00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:34,530 Unknown: speeches on today stage where actors high school 94 00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:39,000 students, comedians and satirical TV hosts. They said 95 00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:41,490 that those unpowered the government should assume its 96 00:05:41,490 --> 00:05:45,480 responsibility for the mass shootings. They emphasize all 97 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,080 Serbian children should walk freely to schools and return to 98 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,460 their home safely, as well as those in Kosovo with dignity. We 99 00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:57,000 should fight for freedom of our society. That is what we owe to 100 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,230 the people who lost their lives in tragic shooting. They said my 101 00:06:01,230 --> 00:06:04,020 invention which Al Jazeera Belgrade, 102 00:06:05,010 --> 00:06:08,340 Serbia as government has declared a one month amnesty for 103 00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:13,380 people to hand in guns 40,000 firearms have been given up. But 104 00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:16,920 as Bernard Smith now reports from Belgrade, protesters say 105 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,220 the government needs to do much more to tackle a culture of 106 00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:20,940 violence 107 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,480 conservatives version of Big Brother, a daily diet of fights 108 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,690 and punch UPS helps make this one of the country's top rated 109 00:06:27,690 --> 00:06:34,170 TV shows. In parliament when debate doesn't work, fists can 110 00:06:34,170 --> 00:06:34,620 fly. 111 00:06:36,450 --> 00:06:39,810 There is a huge problem in Serbia with violence being 112 00:06:39,810 --> 00:06:43,800 accepted as methods to resolve disputes. That's the problem 113 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,770 is a lawyer for a group that helps women affected by 114 00:06:46,770 --> 00:06:51,750 violence. 41% of Serbs think domestic abuse is the top issue, 115 00:06:51,750 --> 00:06:54,180 women face here, the highest rate in Europe. 116 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,270 And this is something that even not even children in 117 00:06:57,270 --> 00:07:01,410 kindergarten are being taught to resolve disputes in other 118 00:07:01,470 --> 00:07:07,680 alternative measures. And so the TV and what is happening in our 119 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,400 National Assembly, and the messages know, whoever uses 120 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,300 violence, he will be the one who who is beginning to dispute and 121 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:18,060 will be you know, the winner. And that's the wrong message 122 00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:19,800 being sent all over again. 123 00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:23,850 Adam Curry: Wow. So not only are they giants, but they're giant 124 00:07:23,850 --> 00:07:25,860 dicks. This is crazy. 125 00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:28,289 John C Dvorak: And in fact that the number one TV show, which 126 00:07:28,289 --> 00:07:32,339 was that big brother equivalent is, for all practical purposes. 127 00:07:32,729 --> 00:07:36,749 Just a version of bumfights, you know, where you get people just 128 00:07:36,749 --> 00:07:41,579 to punch each other. It's just a violent show. You don't have 129 00:07:41,729 --> 00:07:44,939 quite bummed out, you know, the bum fight phenomenon that we had 130 00:07:44,939 --> 00:07:45,419 for a while. 131 00:07:45,450 --> 00:07:50,250 Adam Curry: Yeah, but but they're not calling for guns to 132 00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:55,500 be taken away, are they? Yeah, they are. Ha ha. 133 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,990 John C Dvorak: So I don't even know this seems to be well, in 134 00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:03,630 part three, resolve a couple of these issues. 135 00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:06,750 Unknown: In early May eight children and a guard was shot 136 00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:10,830 dead at a school in Belgrade. The suspect is 13 years old. 137 00:08:11,250 --> 00:08:13,950 Prosecutors allege the boy's father took him to target 138 00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:17,520 practice and didn't properly secure weapons. The next day, a 139 00:08:17,550 --> 00:08:20,580 20 year old man killed eight people in a village outside the 140 00:08:20,580 --> 00:08:25,080 capitol. Since then, 1000s of people have protested weekly in 141 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,870 Belgrade, accusing the government of encouraging a 142 00:08:27,870 --> 00:08:29,880 culture of violence in society. 143 00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:36,480 The problem of violence in Serbia is bigger than then 144 00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:40,590 weapons, they're in possession of citizens. That's why the 145 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:45,660 citizens asked for other regulations may be tightening 146 00:08:45,690 --> 00:08:52,230 gun control legislation and fundamental and reforms in 147 00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:54,510 education and other spheres the 148 00:08:54,540 --> 00:08:57,540 service President Alexander Bucha, which has pledged to 149 00:08:57,540 --> 00:09:01,980 practically disarm his country, more than 40,000 weapons and 2 150 00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:05,100 million rounds of ammunition have so far been handed in 151 00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:09,930 during a government amnesty. But there are more than 750,000 152 00:09:09,930 --> 00:09:13,050 registered weapons here and officials estimate perhaps a 153 00:09:13,050 --> 00:09:16,560 similar number unlicensed, it could take years for the state 154 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,170 to disarm its citizens and they'd have to be willing 155 00:09:19,170 --> 00:09:20,520 partners in the effort. 156 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,090 Adam Curry: Okay, this is a sophisticated cya. This is very 157 00:09:24,090 --> 00:09:27,090 good, because they're also calling for the removal of 158 00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:31,200 violent television stations. But it's really about disarming the 159 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,830 country that this isn't an American Democrat Party tactic. 160 00:09:38,130 --> 00:09:40,080 John C Dvorak: Well, they got they got their attention. 161 00:09:40,740 --> 00:09:44,190 Adam Curry: And this is super interesting to me because 162 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:49,440 American political tactics and tat takedowns are now being 163 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,910 performed all over Europe. So not just get rid of their guns 164 00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:57,600 so Serbia will be completely vulnerable to whatever is next 165 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,750 thing is there. 700 NATO troops there. For whatever reason, but 166 00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:09,240 something we learned about in the last show. Remember, your 167 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,020 buddy there from Ireland? She was moaning about Russian 168 00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:18,120 Russian interference. Claire. Right, Claire Daly? Well, now 169 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:22,260 nearly now we know what that was about. And man, it's just, it's 170 00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:25,020 just an American script to speak to our international affairs 171 00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:26,520 commentator, Douglas Herbert.

Vladimir Putin's 189 00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:26,850 line has worked. 190 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,270 Adam Curry: What's up with that pronunciation? Vladimir Putin. 191 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:32,010 Have you been in France too long, Doug. 192 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,910 Unknown: Vladimir Putin has told Vladimir Putin's line has 193 00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:38,430 represented essentially essentially the interests of 194 00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:41,490 Vladimir Putin and it's conveyed his message very effectively 195 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,300 here in France the Kremlin propaganda message. So that's 196 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,870 what it was really meant to do. I boomerang it really backfired. 197 00:11:49,530 --> 00:11:50,940 fiasco in her own face, 198 00:11:52,050 --> 00:11:55,530 Adam Curry: a fiasco in her own face. Wow. 199 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,400 Unknown: It's a fiasco. 200 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,830 John C Dvorak: fiasco off your face, baby. 201 00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:03,960 Adam Curry: I already right now to take that fiasco off your 202 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,530 face. It's disgusting. can't look at it. This is This is 203 00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:11,460 crazy. I love saying that. That's what all the millennials 204 00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:15,840 are now saying the new 100% Is this is crazy. I haven't heard 205 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:21,060 it. I just launched it. He has no real Marine LePen far right 206 00:12:21,150 --> 00:12:25,650 colluding with Russia. She's propagandizing for Vladimir 207 00:12:25,650 --> 00:12:26,250 Putin 208 00:12:26,340 --> 00:12:29,070 Unknown: is an idol apparently claiming that the report is 209 00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:32,640 politically motivated. So avoid that 210 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,180 emerge. The half of this report is a reflection of the 211 00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:44,370 rapporteur sectarian, dishonest and totally politicized. reality 212 00:12:44,370 --> 00:12:47,940 of this report is that there is nothing. This report is exactly 213 00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:51,390 the same in terms of its conclusions as the four hours of 214 00:12:51,390 --> 00:12:55,950 hearings I was able to do under oath. In other words, the people 215 00:12:55,950 --> 00:13:01,680 who have accused us have no basis in fact, they didn't know. 216 00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:04,860 Adam Curry: This is their version of the Mueller report. 217 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,590 No Russian collusion isn't dodgy. Does anyone else not see 218 00:13:10,590 --> 00:13:11,880 this? This is pathetic. 219 00:13:12,690 --> 00:13:17,430 John C Dvorak: is the best word for it. I say Come on, people 220 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:20,370 come up with something more creative. 221 00:13:20,489 --> 00:13:24,149 Adam Curry: Meanwhile, we need to discuss this tumble The White 222 00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:27,630 Unknown: House says President Biden is fine. After he took a 223 00:13:27,630 --> 00:13:31,020 fall on stage at the US Air Force Academy graduation 224 00:13:31,020 --> 00:13:34,260 ceremony in Colorado. Biden had delivered the commencement 225 00:13:34,260 --> 00:13:37,200 address and shook hands with graduates when he appeared to 226 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,030 have tripped on a black sandbag on the stage. Biden got back up 227 00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:43,830 and jokes he got sandbag. 228 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,040 Adam Curry: Now, I went and Larry 229 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,870 John C Dvorak: legs because 230 00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:52,050 Adam Curry: it's actually here's an ABC report where he yells at 231 00:13:52,050 --> 00:13:52,230 our 232 00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:54,450 Unknown: White House says President Biden is fine after he 233 00:13:54,450 --> 00:13:58,140 tripped over a sandbag at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado. 234 00:13:58,350 --> 00:14:00,810 The President returned to Washington greeted by a horde of 235 00:14:00,810 --> 00:14:03,300 reporters horn wanting to know what happened. And his 236 00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:10,950 explanation was quite simple. The President was walking a bit 237 00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:13,890 stiffly but his doctors say that's because he has a spinal 238 00:14:13,890 --> 00:14:14,790 arthritis. 239 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:17,970 Adam Curry: So I looked up I look for a picture. 240 00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:22,320 John C Dvorak: Spinal I have a new nude. unnoticed spinal 241 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,280 arthritis 242 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:29,370 Adam Curry: doesn't sound good actually. Spinal arthritis know 243 00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:33,330 nothing about it. But I do know something about staging. This 244 00:14:33,330 --> 00:14:39,480 sandbag was placed as sabotage. There's no reason I'm looking at 245 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,940 the stage. There's a black sandbag you know one of those 246 00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:46,320 sandbags that you put on on his black so you can see it up on a 247 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,900 black stage and it's an it's a black it's one of those that you 248 00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:52,440 put over your nightstand so it doesn't fall over. Yeah, so 249 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,990 yeah, I know what they're for. So we'll call them sandbags. But 250 00:14:54,990 --> 00:14:57,120 you know, just so people don't who aren't in the bay. They are 251 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,760 sandbags. People who like you and me who know people aren't in 252 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,200 the biz. So I cost in the bids, the bids in the bid. And it was 253 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,440 nice not holding any trades. I've been reading the trades 254 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,370 myself. It's not holding anything down. It's just there. 255 00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:15,090 It's not on top of anything. It's not not even holding down. 256 00:15:15,570 --> 00:15:21,750 Like like a, you know, a skirt for a table. It's just the black 257 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:24,750 sandbag on the black stage. This was sabotage. 258 00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:28,500 John C Dvorak: You know, I can accept that. And there's 259 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:34,350 something that that I stood in my mind when he came around to 260 00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:39,210 walk off and it hit the sandbag. There was a soldier a marine 261 00:15:39,210 --> 00:15:42,090 that was saluting and he was saluting toward the audience. 262 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,690 And he like, I guess He saluted toward Biden flipped around and 263 00:15:45,690 --> 00:15:48,660 then he went off toward the audience walked toward the 264 00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:53,400 camera, and I looked at him. And it was like, when Biden went 265 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,440 down, he didn't look back. It was right within, you know, it 266 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,530 would he would have you would have looked back or something 267 00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:03,390 and he had a funny smirk on his face. 268 00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:06,060 Adam Curry: That's the guy. And 269 00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:08,040 John C Dvorak: you know, it's cadets or he knew about it. 270 00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:11,730 Adam Curry: You know, this is graduation. So what funnier than 271 00:16:11,730 --> 00:16:17,160 when you're graduating from a military academy? My Hey, man, I 272 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,110 got an idea as to the will be legends. I think sandbag gate is 273 00:16:22,110 --> 00:16:25,020 appropriate. I think there should be a parliamentary 274 00:16:25,020 --> 00:16:31,290 inquiries. Bill. I put the picture of the sandbag did go 275 00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:34,650 John C Dvorak: down fun in an awkward way. And then I liked 276 00:16:34,650 --> 00:16:37,800 the way the news media strips any guy right up. He didn't he 277 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,370 did not get right ahead for guys helping him up and he could 278 00:16:41,370 --> 00:16:45,600 barely get up. He just left him there. I guarantee couldn't get 279 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,080 up. 280 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,820 Adam Curry: Did you also notice the soles of his shoes? No, I 281 00:16:50,820 --> 00:16:55,530 did not. So it's this weird horseshoe like extra soul that's 282 00:16:55,530 --> 00:17:00,480 on the bottom of it. And lift. It's well, it's a lift, but it's 283 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,410 a U shape. And someone pointed out an interesting interesting 284 00:17:04,410 --> 00:17:07,350 thing, which I thought was probably not what's going on but 285 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:10,350 I liked it. You know, human Michael Jackson that video where 286 00:17:10,350 --> 00:17:12,990 he where he kind of leaned over and defies gravity. 287 00:17:14,730 --> 00:17:18,240 John C Dvorak: Now he leans forward all the way he was one 288 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:18,570 of his 289 00:17:19,020 --> 00:17:22,860 Adam Curry: that was Yeah, six signature moves. Yeah. So that 290 00:17:22,860 --> 00:17:27,210 was achieved by having shoes with basically a horse shoe type 291 00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:32,070 heel. And in the in the in the stage itself was a little knob 292 00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:36,450 and he slide his his shoes onto those knobs and then you can 293 00:17:36,450 --> 00:17:39,690 just lean forward because the knobs were bolted to the floor 294 00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:43,800 and he could just back up and be right off of that. I'm wondering 295 00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:46,530 if maybe the President doesn't have knobs in the stage 296 00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:48,240 everywhere so that you know when he's feeling 297 00:17:48,660 --> 00:17:51,180 John C Dvorak: on his ass just standing there so he gets feels 298 00:17:51,180 --> 00:17:52,080 a little woozy. 299 00:17:52,170 --> 00:17:55,740 Adam Curry: He can just slip into the knobs. It was just 300 00:17:56,490 --> 00:17:59,490 John C Dvorak: oh, now you're talking? Well, I'm reminded of 301 00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:03,570 not this let the newsletter I just sent out but the one before 302 00:18:03,570 --> 00:18:06,630 that and the other ones that are floating around these memes 303 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:10,170 showing Biden's you know his face kind of cut in half with 304 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,060 two different Biden's Oh, yeah. Well, that's 305 00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:15,570 Adam Curry: the mask. Everyone knows it's a mask. Where were 306 00:18:15,570 --> 00:18:16,740 you been? Everyone knows that? 307 00:18:16,770 --> 00:18:20,850 John C Dvorak: No, there's no I saw them as it was peeling off 308 00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:24,090 on one of them. They showed like where it was peeling off on him 309 00:18:24,090 --> 00:18:27,300 and it was too smooth for his normal face. Yeah. And then he 310 00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:30,270 had the permanent wrinkles in his forehead. There's a lot of 311 00:18:30,270 --> 00:18:33,150 crazy mind might be dead. 312 00:18:34,170 --> 00:18:35,790 Adam Curry: Oh, there's a beginning of the show. When we 313 00:18:35,790 --> 00:18:39,240 got by Mike, I'm with you on that. And we know this match 314 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,880 technology is outstanding. And it's way beyond what the CIA 315 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,520 lady showed five years ago. It's 316 00:18:48,450 --> 00:18:51,240 John C Dvorak: that but she mentioned that the match they 317 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,010 were talking about and using in the TV show. Mission Impossible. 318 00:18:56,310 --> 00:19:01,470 Which was I believe the late 60s. Yep. She says those masks 319 00:19:01,530 --> 00:19:06,120 those CIA masks were in play back then. Yeah. So you can't 320 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:10,470 even imagine what technology they have now. 321 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,790 Adam Curry: I actually can't imagine it and if you look at 322 00:19:14,790 --> 00:19:18,000 all of these different videos where you see a crease or you 323 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000 see Biden from behind scratching the back of his neck and then 324 00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:25,980 you almost see the rubber kind of read freeform. We're being 325 00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:28,530 we're being psyops man. It's a scam. 326 00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:33,840 John C Dvorak: It's a scam Damn. Guy is no Joe Biden 327 00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:41,520 Adam Curry: knows who he is. Now, finally, I'm very happy to 328 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,110 report that after two years out here in Fredericksburg, Texas. 329 00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:50,550 Tina and I are finally we've made ours we've made it in. We 330 00:19:50,550 --> 00:19:52,980 are now in Hill Country high society. 331 00:19:54,930 --> 00:19:57,600 John C Dvorak: In either two years, I taught two times flies 332 00:19:57,630 --> 00:20:02,700 Adam Curry: Yeah, tight times flies. times Time flies.

They've got elephant skin boots. This is the party 373 00:22:14,670 --> 00:22:17,370 they don't drive the F 152. No, it's time to break out the 374 00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:21,330 bends.

I don't know why you're stalling. 398 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,790 Adam Curry: Now she's married to Nick his lotto. Do you know Nick 399 00:23:44,790 --> 00:23:46,980 You should know Nick his a lotta because we're in the business. 400 00:23:46,980 --> 00:23:51,600 You read the trades? Haha. See, you haven't been keeping up with 401 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,290 the trades. 402 00:23:52,770 --> 00:23:54,240 John C Dvorak: Well, I haven't been keeping up but I haven't 403 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,200 been chemo with Nick. 404 00:23:56,610 --> 00:24:01,470 Adam Curry: Nick. Nick is very famous for not just being the 405 00:24:01,470 --> 00:24:05,370 writer but the creator and the showrunner of the hit HBO 406 00:24:05,370 --> 00:24:10,470 series. True Detective. You know this show right to Detective? 407 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,840 John C Dvorak: Yes. With his first season it was dynamite. 408 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,930 Was he the show runner then? Yes. Yeah, he created what 409 00:24:15,930 --> 00:24:16,980 happened? No, 410 00:24:17,010 --> 00:24:18,720 Adam Curry: there's two more seasons came. 411 00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:21,180 John C Dvorak: Yeah, but the second season was boring by 412 00:24:21,180 --> 00:24:22,080 comparison. Okay, 413 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,610 Adam Curry: okay. My friends here. All right. These are my 414 00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:27,060 friends. Chill out. Okay, I'm just saying brakes pump Dvorak. 415 00:24:27,660 --> 00:24:33,600 That's the show with the finale broke the internet. At least it 416 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,830 broke the HBO app. Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson 417 00:24:37,830 --> 00:24:42,060 starred in anyway, so I got to read he's a writer and so I had 418 00:24:42,060 --> 00:24:44,880 an opportunity to talk to him about the writer strike. 419 00:24:45,510 --> 00:24:51,300 John C Dvorak: Ah die there is a point is named dropping that you 420 00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:55,200 feel obliged. Which is fun, which I accept. I accept because 421 00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:56,340 now what happened 422 00:24:56,370 --> 00:24:58,770 Adam Curry: you better you know, after every show, you're always 423 00:24:58,770 --> 00:25:01,350 like, hey, got any dinner? Coming up with anybody. Oh, 424 00:25:01,350 --> 00:25:06,720 that's too bad do anything. That's all you're always 425 00:25:07,260 --> 00:25:08,790 John C Dvorak: throwing it at me cool 426 00:25:08,790 --> 00:25:13,050 Adam Curry: dinners anything happening? Uh huh. All right. 427 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:22,440 So, first of all, it is. So the writer strike. He's a writer. So 428 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:28,260 obviously, his projects were on hold. However, it appears there 429 00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:32,760 is a force majeure clause in the Writers Guild of America 430 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:40,350 contracts. This is what we are not aware of. And it's 431 00:25:40,350 --> 00:25:43,530 confirmed. I have an article here from the New York Times, if 432 00:25:43,530 --> 00:25:49,320 the strike drags on into July, studios can exit pricey deals 433 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,330 with writers under force majeure clauses of contracts, which 434 00:25:54,360 --> 00:26:00,870 means it will actually help the streamers and screw the 435 00:26:00,870 --> 00:26:06,600 complaining writers. And he will go back to work because you can, 436 00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:10,380 you cannot, the guilds can't can't stop writers from going 437 00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:13,050 back to work where they will have to go back on the terms of 438 00:26:13,050 --> 00:26:13,260 the 439 00:26:13,710 --> 00:26:16,500 John C Dvorak: like a union busting it's going on here. 440 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:16,950 Totally, 441 00:26:17,220 --> 00:26:20,280 Adam Curry: totally. But it was built into it. He was built and 442 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,830 John C Dvorak: they got suckered somewhere along the line. Of 443 00:26:22,830 --> 00:26:23,190 course 444 00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:25,830 Adam Curry: they did. Of course, they got sourced they 445 00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:27,990 John C Dvorak: did hell, let's let's get this back up a couple 446 00:26:27,990 --> 00:26:31,050 of sentences that of course, they did their dumb writers. 447 00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:35,130 Adam Curry: Well, turns out 97% of the voting members of the 448 00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:39,930 WGA, you know, maybe wrote a treatment for someone, you know, 449 00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:44,190 not really, you know, they're not successful writers. Yeah. 450 00:26:44,250 --> 00:26:44,730 Well, that's 451 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,220 John C Dvorak: most writers. Yes. Correct. 452 00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:51,660 Adam Curry: Except for my friend, Nick. Nick guy, that 453 00:26:51,660 --> 00:26:54,810 guy's a winner. He's a winner. And some more news is married 454 00:26:54,810 --> 00:26:57,090 John C Dvorak: to a famous pregnant actress 455 00:26:57,810 --> 00:27:01,170 Adam Curry: who Suzanne Santo dropped the s for extra savings. 456 00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:07,620 And here's the good news. If that what if it wasn't good news 457 00:27:07,620 --> 00:27:10,020 already for people who want to write and then people who just 458 00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:14,190 want to get back to making stuff. The studios are bringing 459 00:27:14,190 --> 00:27:19,170 in writers to fix the woke scripts. Even Marvel is bringing 460 00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:23,280 in writers to fix all the woke scripts that are not working, 461 00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:27,360 not making money. They're afraid to do it now. I think we're 462 00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,780 seeing the end in sight, especially in marbles. 463 00:27:31,050 --> 00:27:33,630 John C Dvorak: What an optimist. This was what happens when you 464 00:27:33,630 --> 00:27:34,530 become an elite 465 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,840 Adam Curry: is a really lovely people. I'm just calling him the 466 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,680 Hill Country high society. Okay, so now, but you can call them 467 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,700 whatever you want. Now, as I said, these people are Trump 468 00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:50,730 people. And I was, you know, I talk to a lot of different 469 00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:55,410 people. And I think I have figured out what's going on with 470 00:27:55,410 --> 00:28:02,010 DeSantis. And it's also Elon is involved. Twitter's involve 471 00:28:02,010 --> 00:28:06,360 Murdoch is involved. And bear with me, because I've tried to 472 00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:09,660 kind of write this down. Let's see if we can figure out what's 473 00:28:09,660 --> 00:28:13,020 going on. And it really centers around Elon and Twitter right 474 00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:17,550 now. So we've been asking ourselves why Where's Tucker? He 475 00:28:17,550 --> 00:28:20,580 was going to be on Twitter. Wasn't I mean? Why announced 476 00:28:20,580 --> 00:28:24,000 that Why say very soon? And then why not be on Twitter? 477 00:28:24,030 --> 00:28:26,100 John C Dvorak: Yeah, you can't do that. It's just not good 478 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:26,640 market. It's 479 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,270 Adam Curry: a mistake. Or is it because Tucker's figured out 480 00:28:30,270 --> 00:28:33,870 what's going on? And I think it's the latter. So Twitter and 481 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:40,830 now wait for it. So Twitter, obviously, you know, we see Elon 482 00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:44,370 hiring this Yucca Reno character, he needs to get some 483 00:28:44,370 --> 00:28:47,880 revenue going because he has a big nut. He's got contracts 484 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,780 until 2025 for AWS and Google for the infrastructure. Twitter 485 00:28:51,780 --> 00:28:55,380 doesn't own their own gear. That's about $500 million a 486 00:28:55,380 --> 00:28:59,010 year. Can you imagine what suckers those guys were that's a 487 00:28:59,010 --> 00:29:03,570 lot of it's a lot of damage. The machines is everything. And but 488 00:29:03,570 --> 00:29:06,300 at least I had it locked in but it's locked in. You can't you 489 00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:08,820 can't change anything. So we have to stick with those 490 00:29:08,820 --> 00:29:12,960 contracts. He's got interest payments. So you know, I think 491 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,660 by his own admission, they're losing about $100 million a 492 00:29:15,660 --> 00:29:19,350 month. So he can't really, you know, just be ponying up 493 00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:22,590 himself. He can't keep going back to people he can't he can't 494 00:29:22,590 --> 00:29:24,330 take it from his business. He has to do something 495 00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:26,010 John C Dvorak: he has to do something right. He has to make 496 00:29:26,010 --> 00:29:29,790 it breakeven at least so we know 497 00:29:29,790 --> 00:29:33,900 Adam Curry: that Elon is entire res on data which is French for 498 00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:39,450 the reason he exists is government money. So Tesla 499 00:29:39,870 --> 00:29:43,200 massive government subsidies subsidies for his for its cut 500 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,980 for its customers, subsidies for everything he did subsidies for 501 00:29:47,010 --> 00:29:51,690 EVs, SpaceX, his other big business, NASA contracts, all 502 00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:55,560 kinds of all government, all government money. Now Twitter, 503 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,180 which as we know he will turn into x.com It's already know on 504 00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:03,540 his X x.com. He says that's going to be the biggest 505 00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:06,690 financial company in the world, the most valuable Teenies 506 00:30:06,690 --> 00:30:11,250 government to do this, but he's placed his bets on the next 507 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:18,090 government. And the next government is going to be if 508 00:30:18,090 --> 00:30:23,160 it's up to Rupert Murdoch, who Elon was paddling around with in 509 00:30:23,970 --> 00:30:27,300 get the World Cup, we all saw it. Remember how weird that was? 510 00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:29,640 He's sitting there with Murdoch in the crowd. 511 00:30:30,150 --> 00:30:32,700 John C Dvorak: Yeah, neither one of them seemed to be interested 512 00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:33,450 in silica. 513 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,520 Adam Curry: No, this is where they were talking about what 514 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,570 they're going to do. So Ilan is setting up hit and who knows 515 00:30:39,570 --> 00:30:44,250 what it'll be, you know, but he'll get the easy easy licenses 516 00:30:44,250 --> 00:30:47,310 for banking or maybe the central bank digital currency or 517 00:30:47,310 --> 00:30:50,550 whatever, I don't know. But so he's keeping up this appearance 518 00:30:50,550 --> 00:30:55,470 of being the freeze peach guy, the anti woke guy to give 519 00:30:55,950 --> 00:31:02,490 credence to Ron DeSantis. And Murdoch enter Murdoch here. He 520 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,650 wants to control the White House. This is just like 521 00:31:04,650 --> 00:31:08,070 succession This is Logan. Roy even looks old, decrepit like 522 00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:12,600 him. So he and his money guys, the hedge funds, Wall Street 523 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,180 buddies, whatever they are, we know that they're that they 524 00:31:15,210 --> 00:31:26,370 their big money behind DeSantis. So I think I think that Murdoch 525 00:31:26,370 --> 00:31:29,880 is so desperate or desperate. So hell bent on controlling the 526 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,450 White House and making sure it's DeSantis. He sacrifices Tucker, 527 00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:37,470 he sets up the whole interview with with Ilan and you know, we 528 00:31:37,470 --> 00:31:40,860 saw it happen you even were for a moment there's like Elon is 529 00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:43,440 gonna hire I'm gonna pay him millions of dollars. They he was 530 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,340 on his show. No, that was all a setup. And I'm sure that 531 00:31:48,420 --> 00:31:51,660 John C Dvorak: Tucker was way, way, way back at what did you 532 00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:52,290 say? I 533 00:31:52,290 --> 00:31:54,780 Adam Curry: did you want me to go find the clip? Because I can 534 00:31:54,780 --> 00:31:56,400 find it for you use? What 535 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,640 John C Dvorak: was that when I don't care about when I may have 536 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,270 to but I want you to reiterate again. I didn't. I don't 537 00:32:03,270 --> 00:32:06,810 remember going crazy about he's going to do some show for a lot 538 00:32:06,810 --> 00:32:07,320 of money. 539 00:32:07,470 --> 00:32:10,530 Adam Curry: Yes. You said he's going to Twitter. Elon is going 540 00:32:10,530 --> 00:32:14,640 to pay him a lot of money. On Twitter. I said no, he's not 541 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,790 going to and you said yeah, he was on his show. I could look it 542 00:32:17,790 --> 00:32:21,030 up. But just believe me, doesn't matter. Because you since come 543 00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:25,440 around as well as what we do. So that's why there's continue. 544 00:32:27,630 --> 00:32:31,380 So So Murdock brings in Elon into the scheme. He said, hey, 545 00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:34,350 you know, maybe you can can take Tucker, then you can control 546 00:32:34,350 --> 00:32:40,500 him. Elon does all the favors gets, gets to sent you know, 547 00:32:40,530 --> 00:32:45,120 launches the DeSantis campaign, which of course is horrible. 548 00:32:45,210 --> 00:32:49,530 Elon goes all anti woke in case we haven't noticed. Now, of 549 00:32:49,530 --> 00:32:54,750 course, if you look at Twitter, anything that's about Trump has 550 00:32:54,750 --> 00:32:59,460 all these so called Community notes all over it. You know how 551 00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:02,100 this works. Now with Twitter, you get community notes, like, 552 00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:05,820 oh, the community disagrees with this. And that is automatically 553 00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:09,240 gets you less reach, you know, a little bit of shadow banning. 554 00:33:09,510 --> 00:33:14,370 But for me, it was really this this little bit DeSantis is 555 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:20,640 Chief because she wasn't his press secretary. Before she 556 00:33:21,330 --> 00:33:27,060 became like in charge of do the influencers. Chris Watts had 557 00:33:27,060 --> 00:33:33,780 Christina push off. PSH Aw. This is a piece of work. You know 558 00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:38,610 what she was doing before she came to work for DeSantis know 559 00:33:38,610 --> 00:33:45,030 what she was working for Vladimir Zelensky. In Ukraine, 560 00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:49,680 this used to ring a bell recruiting influencers in 2021 561 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:56,130 for his election, which we know is clearly a scam. These guys 562 00:33:56,130 --> 00:33:58,710 are the actor. She has a fun. 563 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,320 John C Dvorak: They have I know where you're going with this. 564 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,040 They're gonna have to do a lot better job. DeSantis is not 565 00:34:05,940 --> 00:34:07,320 impressing anybody. 566 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,900 Adam Curry: No, I know. But you think you will agree with me 567 00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:17,700 that if you have Fox News run by Democrats, if you have Twitter, 568 00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:20,100 if you have New York Post, if you have the Wall Street 569 00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:23,580 Journal, you're going to convince Republicans to vote for 570 00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:26,880 DeSantis you're going to do a pretty good job. You're gonna 571 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,670 get quite far. Let's put it that way. If you can contain Trump, 572 00:34:29,670 --> 00:34:32,820 which seems to be the problem. Now listen, to listen to this 573 00:34:33,390 --> 00:34:39,180 Cushaw woman 2008 She this is her Wikipedia. She developed an 574 00:34:39,180 --> 00:34:45,570 interest in Georgia. Georgia, the country. She researched 575 00:34:45,570 --> 00:34:48,300 Georgia was impressed by the incompetence of then President 576 00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:52,830 Mikhail Saakashvili The Nut Job who was eating his tie. So she 577 00:34:52,830 --> 00:34:58,680 moved to Tbilisi, and she worked there. Uh huh. Then she then 578 00:34:58,980 --> 00:35:02,460 then she worked for you Yulia Tymoshenko former prime minister 579 00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:07,050 of Ukraine. Then she went to Washington DC to work for Stan 580 00:35:07,050 --> 00:35:10,320 together a philanthropic organization founded by Charles 581 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,560 Koch. I mean, come on. I think she had to register as a foreign 582 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,540 agent. Yes, she did a fairer foreign Agents Registration Act 583 00:35:21,570 --> 00:35:25,470 in order to continue working. In the US, 584 00:35:25,470 --> 00:35:29,280 John C Dvorak: obviously a player, yes. But who is she 585 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,730 really working for? Can we figure that out by her travels? 586 00:35:33,090 --> 00:35:35,280 Adam Curry: Well, I would say right now she's working for 587 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,120 Murdoch and the money, guys, of course, it's I mean, what was 588 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,230 Ukraine about money GM 589 00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:42,450 John C Dvorak: intelligence agency behind this? 590 00:35:42,810 --> 00:35:46,920 Adam Curry: Well, that is always in play? And I would say which 591 00:35:46,950 --> 00:35:49,380 John C Dvorak: would? That's the question. Which one? It's always 592 00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:52,530 the CIA. That's not always the CIA. 593 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,750 Adam Curry: Which one? They're the ones in charge of 594 00:35:54,750 --> 00:36:00,090 everything. When I see Axios reporting that oh, here's a 595 00:36:00,090 --> 00:36:06,210 scoop. Yeah, I'll bring this story up for you. The scoop? The 596 00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:07,800 scoop? Is that YouTube? 597 00:36:10,620 --> 00:36:12,810 John C Dvorak: Yeah, there's a good story. I know 598 00:36:13,529 --> 00:36:15,329 Adam Curry: that YouTube says, oh, you know, in this next 599 00:36:15,329 --> 00:36:21,749 election will allow videos about election, election fraud and 600 00:36:21,899 --> 00:36:25,109 disagreement over the results of the election, which means 601 00:36:25,109 --> 00:36:33,299 they're setting it up for Biden to lose. That I like this 602 00:36:33,299 --> 00:36:36,989 theory. Now, there are a couple holes, maybe but not a lot. 603 00:36:37,890 --> 00:36:40,500 John C Dvorak: Well, the problem you have with the theory is that 604 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:43,590 Trump is still Yeah, they're gonna have to do something Yes. 605 00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:45,720 From well, they tried that was the whole thing. Remember how 606 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:49,500 quiet dissident getting nowhere enlisting, actually arrest him? 607 00:36:49,830 --> 00:36:52,920 Adam Curry: Well, remember how quiet they were when DeSantis 608 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,970 was how quiet DeSantis was when, when you know, trumping the 609 00:36:56,970 --> 00:36:59,850 dollar, we're gonna sue them in court, and in New York, he's 610 00:36:59,850 --> 00:37:03,090 gonna go to jail, that'll be the end of him, and just doesn't 611 00:37:03,090 --> 00:37:07,410 happen. I fear for him now. They've gotten few options left, 612 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,980 and Trump is out there. And he's got he's got their number. He 613 00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:14,370 knows what's going on. He's figured this out. We're a little 614 00:37:14,370 --> 00:37:20,280 slow. But this is the I think, I think this is fantastic. And at 615 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,920 least we have a lens to look at stuff through. 616 00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:29,790 John C Dvorak: So where's Tucker end up? I know, it's an optional 617 00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:30,600 lens. 618 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,140 Adam Curry: Well, what are the lens do you have? 619 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,430 John C Dvorak: I don't have a lens at all. I mean, what is the 620 00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:43,530 what happens to try to Tucker? 621 00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:48,120 Adam Curry: He has to go somewhere. But I don't think 622 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:56,640 it'd be Twitter. Rumble. Rumble, Rumble then. Yeah, that's the 623 00:37:56,730 --> 00:38:00,090 telegram. He's going on telegram. That's what I keep 624 00:38:00,090 --> 00:38:02,430 hearing. Tucker's got a video on telegram 625 00:38:02,490 --> 00:38:05,130 John C Dvorak: like eight but I don't even you know, I hate to 626 00:38:05,130 --> 00:38:09,000 say this. But I've never gotten a telegram account and I've 627 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,840 never used it. 628 00:38:10,410 --> 00:38:13,740 Adam Curry: I really don't like telegram I have an account 629 00:38:13,740 --> 00:38:17,310 because a lot of Bitcoin people are on it. And they swear by 630 00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:20,880 avoid zero swears by telegram. 631 00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,460 John C Dvorak: So why what what's the swear by? 632 00:38:23,730 --> 00:38:25,290 Adam Curry: I don't know that. It's 633 00:38:27,210 --> 00:38:29,850 John C Dvorak: Oh, this is the great the greatest what what 634 00:38:29,850 --> 00:38:30,480 does it do? 635 00:38:30,510 --> 00:38:33,690 Adam Curry: It's, you know you it's the safest of all places to 636 00:38:33,690 --> 00:38:37,290 talk, apparently. Because there's no there's zero D 637 00:38:37,290 --> 00:38:41,010 platforming, which I don't think is true. You can have your own 638 00:38:41,010 --> 00:38:41,760 channel. It's 639 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,600 John C Dvorak: free. It's total freeze. Speech. Yeah, it's all 640 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:45,990 free 641 00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:49,470 Adam Curry: speech all the time. But and 642 00:38:49,830 --> 00:38:52,860 John C Dvorak: what does it forums? Is it like us net? What 643 00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:54,090 does it look like? Okay, 644 00:38:54,090 --> 00:38:58,860 Adam Curry: so it looks so it's an app, and it looks kind of 645 00:38:58,860 --> 00:39:01,290 like a text message app, 646 00:39:01,710 --> 00:39:03,180 John C Dvorak: like Snapchat? 647 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:08,310 Adam Curry: No, like a text message app, you know, so you 648 00:39:08,310 --> 00:39:12,240 could have Gregg, an SMS phone? Yes, yes. Except you have group 649 00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:17,280 chats in these group chats. can have 1000s 10s of hundreds of 650 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,210 1000s of people in there. And they're owned by someone. So you 651 00:39:21,210 --> 00:39:24,810 know, the owner determined who can talk or, you know, they 652 00:39:24,810 --> 00:39:25,860 control you can have 653 00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:29,640 John C Dvorak: a group chat with Tucker. Yeah. And you can stream 654 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,530 video. Yes, you could. Yes. Yes. And what is the maximum size of 655 00:39:34,530 --> 00:39:37,410 one of these groups, as you have to remember Tucker had when he 656 00:39:37,410 --> 00:39:41,340 was on Fox had an audience of, I don't know, up to 3 million 657 00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:44,730 people. Can you do that on telegram? 658 00:39:45,359 --> 00:39:48,449 Adam Curry: I would. I wouldn't see why not. Do you'd have to 659 00:39:48,479 --> 00:39:52,199 limit it'll be too many people to be give them all talk access. 660 00:39:52,199 --> 00:39:55,319 But yeah, I think you could have all those members. Sure. Sure. 661 00:39:56,999 --> 00:40:03,059 And so we saw just the other day The Daily wire you know they cut 662 00:40:03,059 --> 00:40:05,909 a deal with Twitter and I was kind of right about what kind of 663 00:40:05,969 --> 00:40:11,369 the wire Daily Caller daily wire this is what's his face fast 664 00:40:11,369 --> 00:40:14,849 talker? Hero Shapiro's plus Yeah. So they cut a deal no 665 00:40:14,849 --> 00:40:18,509 we're gonna put all our podcasts on Twitter which they had to pay 666 00:40:18,509 --> 00:40:23,399 for not It's not like twitter saying here's all this money no 667 00:40:23,399 --> 00:40:26,459 Twitter has no money so they were going to own an upload all 668 00:40:26,459 --> 00:40:29,249 up which is videos in their case all of our podcasts go on 669 00:40:29,249 --> 00:40:32,489 Twitter. And then Matt Walsh comes with oh, I'm gonna put my 670 00:40:33,209 --> 00:40:37,199 what is a woman documentary and I put that with big quotes. I 671 00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:40,559 actually have a clip about this. Let's play this and I can 672 00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:43,289 continue the report. Where's it here? 673 00:40:43,950 --> 00:40:47,430 John C Dvorak: So caught off guard here and 674 00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:51,270 Adam Curry: pay attention stib stay Oh, here. quitter aihole 675 00:40:51,270 --> 00:40:54,690 know what is this? Where's Yeah, 676 00:40:54,870 --> 00:40:56,280 John C Dvorak: Twitter aihole quits. 677 00:40:56,759 --> 00:40:59,549 Unknown: Twitter's head of trust and safety has resigned from the 678 00:40:59,549 --> 00:41:03,269 company. Ella Irwin took over the department in November after 679 00:41:03,269 --> 00:41:06,449 a previous head you'll Roth resigned. She oversaw content 680 00:41:06,449 --> 00:41:09,659 moderation, or when did not comment on her resignation. 681 00:41:09,749 --> 00:41:13,019 However, Axios reports the decision followed controversy 682 00:41:13,169 --> 00:41:17,189 over a video titled What is a woman Twitter staff determined 683 00:41:17,189 --> 00:41:21,839 it violates rules and didn't allow it. The film focuses on 684 00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:25,109 gender and transgender issues. Musk called the decision a 685 00:41:25,109 --> 00:41:28,409 mistake by many people at Twitter and said it's definitely 686 00:41:28,409 --> 00:41:31,619 allowed. He later tweeted whether or not you agree with 687 00:41:31,619 --> 00:41:35,729 someone's using preferred pronouns not doing so is at most 688 00:41:35,759 --> 00:41:38,999 rude and certainly breaks no laws. The entrepreneur added 689 00:41:38,999 --> 00:41:42,119 that he personally uses people's preferred pronouns simply for 690 00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:45,689 good manners. However, he says he objects to rude behavior 691 00:41:45,689 --> 00:41:48,479 cancellation or threats of violence for not using someone's 692 00:41:48,479 --> 00:41:50,219 preferred pronouns for the same reason. 693 00:41:51,209 --> 00:41:54,449 Adam Curry: Exactly. So this is now lets you see exactly what's 694 00:41:54,449 --> 00:41:59,009 going on within Twitter. You have the trust and safety team 695 00:41:59,009 --> 00:42:00,089 whatever is left to them 696 00:42:00,180 --> 00:42:03,120 John C Dvorak: I liked the way Axios played a role Oh yeah. 697 00:42:03,359 --> 00:42:08,099 Adam Curry: Oh yeah. Those guys a trust and safety team that we 698 00:42:08,099 --> 00:42:11,129 got to keep our eye on them to who owns Axios do they sell that 699 00:42:11,129 --> 00:42:13,229 to someone Bloomberg another big money outfit? 700 00:42:13,259 --> 00:42:15,569 John C Dvorak: Who owned Illa ran jobs owns it? 701 00:42:16,169 --> 00:42:18,119 Adam Curry: She owns X us? Yeah, I 702 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,590 John C Dvorak: think so. She was 703 00:42:19,620 --> 00:42:22,200 Adam Curry: owner really? I thought that that was already 704 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:22,830 done. 705 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:24,930 Unknown: I don't think she's sold it 706 00:42:26,220 --> 00:42:32,670 Adam Curry: looks like it was sold to Cox Are you sure she's 707 00:42:33,089 --> 00:42:35,039 John C Dvorak: I don't know. I'll look at I'll look into it 708 00:42:35,039 --> 00:42:36,809 as you continue your 709 00:42:37,259 --> 00:42:39,539 Adam Curry: well such so the point is he now you see the 710 00:42:39,539 --> 00:42:44,939 friction that is happening within Twitter. Where the so the 711 00:42:44,939 --> 00:42:50,699 way I see it, the plan is we're going to use DeSantis as the 712 00:42:50,699 --> 00:42:53,819 anti woke guy and we're going to get rid of woke and that's 713 00:42:53,819 --> 00:42:57,899 actually going to make America better. And everyone's all in 714 00:42:57,929 --> 00:43:02,609 Disney's in as we just heard like businesses in businesses 715 00:43:02,609 --> 00:43:06,269 like this is dumb. This is not a smart thing. Meanwhile, the same 716 00:43:06,269 --> 00:43:10,559 guys who started this woke stuff made money shorting all these 717 00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:13,259 stocks. And now as we all know, we're gonna get as you even 718 00:43:13,259 --> 00:43:16,709 said, you know, we're gonna fire the CEOs and be all new blood 719 00:43:16,709 --> 00:43:20,489 coming in. The new bomb. Oh, good ol boys, Anheuser Busch. 720 00:43:20,939 --> 00:43:24,239 I'm going to fix this company. You watch that'll happen bring 721 00:43:24,269 --> 00:43:28,409 bringing woody bringing the Bush the fourth at the same will 722 00:43:28,409 --> 00:43:31,469 happen with target that guy's completely dispensable that CEO. 723 00:43:32,129 --> 00:43:34,409 John C Dvorak: They're going to that guy. He's been bounced 724 00:43:34,409 --> 00:43:38,339 around. He's happy. That's what my theory was. I mentioned it on 725 00:43:38,339 --> 00:43:39,239 horror was his show. You 726 00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:41,250 Adam Curry: mentioned it on this show before you even mentioned 727 00:43:41,250 --> 00:43:43,590 on horror. Yes, I probably did. And by the way idea 728 00:43:43,590 --> 00:43:46,230 John C Dvorak: is to sync the stock fire that guy stock goes 729 00:43:46,230 --> 00:43:48,390 up. It's everyone's got a signal. It's not that hard to 730 00:43:48,390 --> 00:43:49,200 figure out. By the 731 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,620 Adam Curry: way. It's It's not horrible. It's a show. It's DH 732 00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:55,800 unplugged to Vortech. Horowitz you even have preference over 733 00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,950 his name. It's the other show you do. Okay. So everyone's made 734 00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:08,340 a new. Okay, Kara. Everyone's making money on the way down and 735 00:44:08,340 --> 00:44:11,460 we'll make money on the way up. We're going to bring America 736 00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:15,870 back. And they're going to control it like they always want 737 00:44:15,870 --> 00:44:21,630 to who? Who finance Obama who financed? You know, Obama, this 738 00:44:21,630 --> 00:44:26,580 term of Obama? It's the same people. Yeah. So this is a 739 00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:30,570 genius move. And meanwhile, of course, the Republicans in 740 00:44:30,570 --> 00:44:35,310 general, like hair hair. This is great. Go Ronnie. Ron is gonna 741 00:44:35,310 --> 00:44:37,650 save us and Ronnie not gonna save anything. We're going to be 742 00:44:37,650 --> 00:44:40,050 still stuck in the same financial prison. We're always 743 00:44:40,050 --> 00:44:45,030 stuck in. Now, it will probably still be at war. You know, the 744 00:44:45,090 --> 00:44:48,690 military industrial complex will still do fine. We're just going 745 00:44:48,690 --> 00:44:51,210 to stop the work and that'll be the end of the war. And then, 746 00:44:51,390 --> 00:44:53,820 you know, that'll be minimized and you won't hear about it that 747 00:44:53,820 --> 00:44:59,640 much, man. It's crazy. There you go. It's crazy. When he did it 748 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,030 again. I know I got it, I can't help myself. I might as well get 749 00:45:03,030 --> 00:45:07,380 it all up. When you when you hear what Fox News is doing. I 750 00:45:07,380 --> 00:45:11,160 mean, they are, they're completely going against all 751 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:17,850 things conservative. By the way, this DeSantis I agree with the 752 00:45:17,850 --> 00:45:20,490 policies Florida has done by the way, that's the Florida 753 00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:24,960 Legislature is not just Governor de San DeSantis. But he doesn't 754 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,780 even know how to pronounce his own name, the guy is so phony 755 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,230 Unknown: or dress antas. And according to reporting from 756 00:45:31,230 --> 00:45:34,650 Axios in the early days of his campaign, DeSantis, and I'm 757 00:45:34,650 --> 00:45:37,560 sticking to it has gone back and forth between pronouncing his 758 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,970 name DeSantis and dust Santas. During his first week as a 759 00:45:41,970 --> 00:45:45,630 candidate. He pronounced his name as DeSantis in his campaign 760 00:45:45,630 --> 00:45:48,900 announcement video and again during a radio interview. Let's 761 00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:49,320 watch. 762 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,160 I'm Ron DeSantis. And I'm running for president to lead 763 00:45:53,190 --> 00:45:55,260 our great American combat. 764 00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:58,890 Where can people find you to donate volunteer find out more 765 00:45:58,890 --> 00:45:59,310 about you 766 00:46:00,450 --> 00:46:03,000 go to Ron desantis.com. 767 00:46:03,390 --> 00:46:06,510 But then he goes on Fox News for an interview and all of a 768 00:46:06,510 --> 00:46:08,670 sudden, he back pedals. 769 00:46:08,820 --> 00:46:11,910 Anybody that's so inclined to help us.

So the so 776 00:46:32,940 --> 00:46:36,570 John C Dvorak: I really, really busted that controversy open. 777 00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:39,780 Adam Curry: Last The Young Turks. You're not going to hear 778 00:46:39,780 --> 00:46:42,180 this on Fox because you know, they just have to roll with it. 779 00:46:42,780 --> 00:46:45,990 Just it's a different topic. 780 00:46:46,020 --> 00:46:48,870 John C Dvorak: But I just want you to just interrupt you Sure. 781 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:55,530 As you can. She there was Atlantic media and her money 782 00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,600 that helped bank roll the early days of Axios. Yes. And I guess 783 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,850 she's still an investor. But you're right. It was Cox 784 00:47:02,850 --> 00:47:08,160 enterprises to get from the get go and Jim Vandehei. Hi in Mike 785 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,330 Allen is Roy Schwartz really the founders and she wasn't 786 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,580 considered a founder. So I was wrong. And who 787 00:47:14,580 --> 00:47:16,080 Adam Curry: owns Cox? 788 00:47:17,490 --> 00:47:22,860 John C Dvorak: Cox Cox is a is a really traditional old privately 789 00:47:22,860 --> 00:47:25,770 held global conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta. 790 00:47:26,130 --> 00:47:31,320 proximately 55,000 employees. 21 billion. It's an old founded in 791 00:47:31,350 --> 00:47:36,570 1898. It's a big publishing company. Yeah. been around 792 00:47:36,570 --> 00:47:37,110 forever. 793 00:47:38,910 --> 00:47:41,070 Adam Curry: Well, what side of the do you think they are? They 794 00:47:41,070 --> 00:47:43,710 play in politics, I can hardly imagine they wouldn't. 795 00:47:44,370 --> 00:47:47,130 John C Dvorak: Well, since NBC Universal was one of the big 796 00:47:47,130 --> 00:47:52,020 investors in this Optus, this Axios. Operation. They're very 797 00:47:52,050 --> 00:47:53,490 It looks very conservative to me. 798 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:58,410 Adam Curry: There you go. So that's why I I'm sorry. You mean 799 00:47:58,410 --> 00:47:59,760 liberal? You meant to say liberal, 800 00:47:59,790 --> 00:48:02,220 John C Dvorak: I meant to say liberal. They look liberal to 801 00:48:02,220 --> 00:48:06,930 me. Based on the way I'm seeing come out. 802 00:48:07,410 --> 00:48:10,230 Adam Curry: Now, I've said for years, Fox News is run by 803 00:48:10,230 --> 00:48:11,100 Democrats. 804 00:48:12,540 --> 00:48:15,270 John C Dvorak: I've I've said the same thing. It's not about 805 00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:20,880 Adam Curry: who said what? We want you on point. Okay. John 806 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,090 has said for years. Fox News is run by Democrats. 807 00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:27,120 John C Dvorak: And well, I haven't said as long as you 808 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:27,540 have. 809 00:48:29,130 --> 00:48:32,370 Adam Curry: Here's a prime example. This is a climate 810 00:48:32,370 --> 00:48:35,580 change topic. But just just so you can understand what's going 811 00:48:35,580 --> 00:48:36,210 on over there 812 00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,420 Unknown: and on Swartz Nagar is taking on a new role. The action 813 00:48:39,420 --> 00:48:42,510 store and former California governor is now on a crusade to 814 00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:45,750 tackle climate change. But first, he said there needs to be 815 00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:46,680 some rebranding. 816 00:48:47,970 --> 00:48:50,550 As long as they can talking about global climate change, 817 00:48:50,550 --> 00:48:54,270 they're not gonna go anywhere. Because no one gives away about 818 00:48:54,270 --> 00:49:01,080 that. So my thing is, let's go and rephrase this and 819 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,230 communicate differently about it and ruin tell people, you're 820 00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:07,800 talking about pollution. Pollution creates climate 821 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,040 change, and pollution kills. 822 00:49:12,570 --> 00:49:15,480 Molly, how refreshing to have someone with just a common sense 823 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,970 approach? He's not Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know, 824 00:49:18,210 --> 00:49:20,580 the rebranding issue of climate change has been deeply 825 00:49:20,580 --> 00:49:23,190 politicized now for two decades, and maybe a little bit of 826 00:49:23,190 --> 00:49:24,150 rebranding could help. 827 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,300 Adam Curry: Listen to these people. How can they be on board 828 00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:31,200 with climate change this and particularly, pollution is 829 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:36,300 climate change now, pollution cares of when Yeah, so they're 830 00:49:36,300 --> 00:49:40,680 totally following a political agenda. Then it's not the one 831 00:49:40,830 --> 00:49:43,950 people used to think they follow, which they didn't follow 832 00:49:43,950 --> 00:49:47,610 either. So I think this is the big game. I'm going to look at 833 00:49:47,610 --> 00:49:50,700 it this way. And the problem is Trump they haven't been able to 834 00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:54,300 put him in jail is his Trump's no good. He's, he's not good in 835 00:49:54,300 --> 00:49:55,830 this in this scenario. He's not 836 00:49:56,220 --> 00:49:58,380 John C Dvorak: because he doesn't play this game. No. 837 00:49:58,590 --> 00:50:01,530 Which, right from Nick Get go. He said he wasn't going to do 838 00:50:01,530 --> 00:50:01,770 it, 839 00:50:02,010 --> 00:50:04,860 Adam Curry: which of course makes him funny and makes him 840 00:50:04,890 --> 00:50:09,300 Trump really good. But not in not in the grant. This is like 841 00:50:11,910 --> 00:50:15,690 you have violated they hid the rules. What was what was the 842 00:50:15,690 --> 00:50:16,230 name of that? 843 00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:21,030 John C Dvorak: network? Network network? Yeah. Yeah. With who 844 00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:24,630 was the actor, they brought him into the front office and read 845 00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:29,130 him the riot act about the great rules of the world. Yes. Yes. 846 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,440 Ned Beatty, Ned Beatty? 847 00:50:31,470 --> 00:50:36,510 Adam Curry: There you go. You violated the rules. Yeah, that's 848 00:50:36,510 --> 00:50:39,030 exactly what's going on here. Because these are the people who 849 00:50:39,030 --> 00:50:44,520 run the world, or at least are American part of it. And they're 850 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,030 gonna do and they don't care. And they will sacrifice anything 851 00:50:48,030 --> 00:50:51,270 and everything to do with the only thing that I mean, now I'm 852 00:50:51,270 --> 00:50:56,100 actually going to rescind my Michelle Obama for 2024. I'm 853 00:50:56,100 --> 00:51:00,630 taking that back now. That though, you can't do that, I 854 00:51:00,630 --> 00:51:01,650 have to because 855 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,410 John C Dvorak: it would be insane. And definitely look 856 00:51:04,410 --> 00:51:05,790 through your new lens. 857 00:51:06,540 --> 00:51:09,150 Adam Curry: Yes, it does. Yeah, I'm allowed to change my lens. 858 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:11,790 Of course, it doesn't. 859 00:51:12,390 --> 00:51:14,760 John C Dvorak: You are so adamant. This is annoying. 860 00:51:16,170 --> 00:51:18,630 Adam Curry: Okay, it would be such a Hail Mary. It would have 861 00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:22,800 to be an Obama ego trip to do that. Not not Michelle 862 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,160 John C Dvorak: Barassi. The post there was a post I think was 863 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,690 somebody said it to me and there is actually was sent a private 864 00:51:30,690 --> 00:51:35,760 message to me this one of our producers, with a couple of 865 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,090 pictures of Michelle with the you know, the catalyst package. 866 00:51:39,540 --> 00:51:43,770 Yes, yes. I'm saying the reason that we're trying to normalize 867 00:51:43,770 --> 00:51:48,750 transgenderism is so Michelle can run for president as Big 868 00:51:48,750 --> 00:51:50,130 Mike get no, 869 00:51:50,430 --> 00:51:53,970 Adam Curry: I'm sorry. No, no, this, I'm telling you this, the 870 00:51:53,970 --> 00:51:59,850 backlash is on the backlash is on. And I'd like to make it very 871 00:51:59,850 --> 00:52:05,220 clear. There was nothing wrong with pride month. Every even 872 00:52:05,220 --> 00:52:08,820 though it's kind of weird that you know, mom's get one day. 873 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,490 Just saying. 874 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,270 John C Dvorak: But I want to mention that I put out a 875 00:52:15,270 --> 00:52:19,230 newsletter. That I don't know if you've noticed this, but it used 876 00:52:19,230 --> 00:52:20,400 to be gay pride month. 877 00:52:20,430 --> 00:52:23,430 Adam Curry: Yes, of course. Of course. And I noticed that 878 00:52:23,430 --> 00:52:27,330 John C Dvorak: Tom clip that has brought some new facts to light. 879 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,490 All right. Well, I have some clips that will go with yours. 880 00:52:29,490 --> 00:52:32,580 Yeah, we'll go with hearing off of the topic like crazy talk, 881 00:52:32,610 --> 00:52:41,370 talk to talk. very effeminate, male teacher, probably non 882 00:52:41,370 --> 00:52:44,400 binary, talking about what they're going to do because you 883 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,800 know, the Pride Month doesn't coincide with the school year, 884 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,050 which because kids get out of school right now. 885 00:52:49,590 --> 00:52:52,470 Unknown: It's almost Pride Month. Unfortunately, our high 886 00:52:52,470 --> 00:52:55,860 school year ends just before June begins. What's the gender 887 00:52:55,860 --> 00:52:59,190 and sexuality Alliance sponsor to do our club members wanted a 888 00:52:59,190 --> 00:53:02,220 day to feel prideful near the end of the year. So we came up 889 00:53:02,220 --> 00:53:06,390 with the day of love, the focus of the day of love is simple to 890 00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:09,240 broadcast a message of support and positivity about our 891 00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:13,470 school's LGBTQ population in a fun way. And maybe we can start 892 00:53:13,470 --> 00:53:16,680 a few productive conversations along the way from year to year 893 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,350 depending on the size of our membership. We've done a variety 894 00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:22,530 of activities throughout the day of love. But at its most basic, 895 00:53:22,530 --> 00:53:26,910 we sell pride flags and crafts, have productive conversations 896 00:53:26,940 --> 00:53:30,780 and celebrate today let's talk about selling flags and crafts. 897 00:53:30,810 --> 00:53:33,810 Small pride flags are easy to order online, and you can sell 898 00:53:33,810 --> 00:53:37,770 them for like $1. But the profit isn't the point. The point is to 899 00:53:37,770 --> 00:53:40,590 give the people in your building an opportunity to display their 900 00:53:40,590 --> 00:53:44,130 support for the community in a highly visible way. Besides the 901 00:53:44,130 --> 00:53:47,550 progressive pride flag, I let our members decide what kind of 902 00:53:47,550 --> 00:53:50,760 pride flags that they wanted to order on our limited budget. So 903 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:56,040 this year, we have classic progressive pride, Pan trans bi, 904 00:53:56,340 --> 00:53:59,610 and the updated lesbian flag. I like to send out a Google form 905 00:53:59,610 --> 00:54:02,670 for my colleagues who can't make it down to the cafeteria where 906 00:54:02,670 --> 00:54:05,790 the day of love is happening. That way our flags can make it 907 00:54:05,820 --> 00:54:08,520 all over the school when possible. I also like to sell 908 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,850 crafts that our members make, and this year, oh my god, we 909 00:54:11,850 --> 00:54:15,690 have little pride frogs that have oh my gosh, this is 910 00:54:15,690 --> 00:54:18,000 amazing. I'm going to buy them all I'm not going to be able to 911 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,120 wait and we have the flag sales in a central location in our 912 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,540 cafeteria so that people come in, and then that's where Part 913 00:54:24,540 --> 00:54:26,790 Two can happen. The conversations. 914 00:54:27,210 --> 00:54:30,300 Adam Curry: What is detail what is the updated lesbian flag? 915 00:54:31,980 --> 00:54:34,950 John C Dvorak: I have not seen the updated lesbian flight. I 916 00:54:34,950 --> 00:54:37,380 know I have seen it but I can't remember what's special about 917 00:54:37,380 --> 00:54:39,540 it's not that interesting. What was interesting in that whole 918 00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:44,250 presentation was the classic progressive pride right pride 919 00:54:44,250 --> 00:54:49,920 flag. He did not have a pride flag. There was no gay flag in 920 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:50,760 his collection. 921 00:54:50,790 --> 00:54:52,530 Adam Curry: What was the progressive pride flag, 922 00:54:52,860 --> 00:54:55,890 John C Dvorak: the progressive pride flag hammer, one that has 923 00:54:55,890 --> 00:55:00,120 that arrow going in that showing the trans pushing the prides The 924 00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:01,410 gays out 925 00:55:02,790 --> 00:55:04,800 Adam Curry: Well, exactly and 926 00:55:04,890 --> 00:55:08,130 John C Dvorak: that that progressive pride flag should be 927 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:13,170 a warning shot to the to gay people and lesbians and gay men 928 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:19,320 that Sis, sis normal sis homosexuals only way to put it 929 00:55:19,710 --> 00:55:23,640 we're using this language because this is a warning shot 930 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,940 it's like Look we're moving in on you and your whole flag is 931 00:55:26,940 --> 00:55:31,560 gonna get wiped out that the gay flag is is now no good. It's got 932 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,990 to be the progressive gay flag which is the one that has all 933 00:55:33,990 --> 00:55:36,630 these other that has that arrow looking thing going in? 934 00:55:37,710 --> 00:55:40,140 Adam Curry: Well, so that's so we're seeing what's happening 935 00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:41,340 first of all, for 936 00:55:41,550 --> 00:55:46,470 John C Dvorak: and that way to begin my comment. You have to 937 00:55:46,470 --> 00:55:50,460 remember that it used to be gay pride month. Yes. And get now is 938 00:55:50,460 --> 00:55:52,710 just Pride Month is soon it'll be Trans Pride. 939 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:58,920 Adam Curry: That's correct and and trans. Pride came right on 940 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:03,480 the heels of Black Lives Matter. And Black Lives Matter got 941 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,900 tossed aside, like, Okay, thanks, black people, good for 942 00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:12,540 you. In America, certainly in the 70s I was around. We were 943 00:56:12,540 --> 00:56:15,570 happy with our gays. We don't care, do whatever you want. 944 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,080 You're great on roller skates we'd love that are gay boys and 945 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,600 roller skates that great lesbians you're cool. Not a 946 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:27,270 problem. Not a problem. But the pushing in it during the during 947 00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:32,370 the show during the lifetime of the show. We had more gay 948 00:56:32,370 --> 00:56:36,150 marriage and same sex couples allowed in the United States 949 00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:41,190 than most countries in Europe. Not a problem. We're good as a 950 00:56:41,220 --> 00:56:44,040 button, you know, the pushing and the pushing on the kids is 951 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,210 what did it and now everyone's figured it out. And that's part 952 00:56:48,210 --> 00:56:52,320 of the you know, the target where all of this stuff and 953 00:56:52,350 --> 00:56:56,550 Americans are starting to say no. And all of this comes from 954 00:56:56,550 --> 00:56:59,880 the same political push the progressive note the term 955 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,330 progressive pride flag. So now we're seeing gays against 956 00:57:03,330 --> 00:57:08,460 groomers. Thank you boys. We're seeing LGP not the tea. LGB not 957 00:57:08,460 --> 00:57:11,970 the tea is now a Twitter hashtag. It's a group of 958 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,080 lesbians gays and bisexuals. It should just be LG but okay. LGB, 959 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,010 not the tea. And that's because they pushed and pushed and 960 00:57:20,010 --> 00:57:24,030 pushed. And then got pharma into it and just start doing the 961 00:57:24,030 --> 00:57:26,370 stuff with children. And that's where everyone thinks to the 962 00:57:26,370 --> 00:57:30,240 children. And once America start to figure out, hold on a second, 963 00:57:30,270 --> 00:57:33,480 we're not going to let this happen. And now the backlash is 964 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:33,870 on. 965 00:57:35,850 --> 00:57:41,220 Unknown: As pride flags rise across the country. So does the 966 00:57:41,220 --> 00:57:48,720 heated debate around LGBTQ plus initiatives. pride events at a 967 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,440 Los Angeles Elementary School Friday sparked tense protests. 968 00:57:52,500 --> 00:57:55,950 We want our kids to just be innocent and come to school and 969 00:57:55,950 --> 00:57:57,630 not have to deal with sexuality. 970 00:57:58,110 --> 00:58:01,590 not have the right to make people afraid to be a child in 971 00:58:01,590 --> 00:58:02,640 this district because 972 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,920 Adam Curry: you're gay. Now listen to the difference in 973 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:10,050 these two parents. One parent calm collected, hey, you know, 974 00:58:10,260 --> 00:58:13,290 kids shouldn't be dealing with sexuality in this grammar 975 00:58:13,290 --> 00:58:21,300 school. The unhinged parent is exactly that. unhinged screaming 976 00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:24,870 just completely at the end of her which which is sad, of 977 00:58:24,870 --> 00:58:28,860 course sad. But this is this point that's a mental condition 978 00:58:29,550 --> 00:58:32,430 Unknown: and come to school and not have to deal with sexuality. 979 00:58:32,910 --> 00:58:36,360 not have the right to make people afraid to be a child in 980 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,080 this district 981 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,720 Adam Curry: because you're gay. No one ever did that lady 982 00:58:39,780 --> 00:58:42,480 Unknown: social media fueled backlash is putting many 983 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,350 companies in the culture wars crossfire target pulled some of 984 00:58:46,350 --> 00:58:50,550 its pride merchandise last week, including items by designer ERIC 985 00:58:50,550 --> 00:58:53,370 CORNELL citing security concerns. 986 00:58:53,430 --> 00:58:56,160 The second it gets hard if you're going to jump ship. 987 00:58:56,370 --> 00:58:59,340 That's a very dangerous thing to tell people. 988 00:58:59,700 --> 00:59:03,360 A boycott of Bud Light has caused the beer giant about 27 989 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:03,480 That 990 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,360 Adam Curry: great how now they put in a kid rocks machine 991 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,020 gunfire sound effects. I mean, it's Bud Light. 992 00:59:10,170 --> 00:59:13,170 Unknown: That's a very dangerous thing to tell people. 993 00:59:13,500 --> 00:59:17,190 A boycott of Bud Light has caused the beer giant about $27 994 00:59:17,190 --> 00:59:21,900 billion in lost sales since April 1 When it teamed up with 995 00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:26,280 transgender social media starred Dylan Mulvaney love ya. In 996 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,660 Florida Disney hopes to invest about a billion dollars into the 997 00:59:30,660 --> 00:59:33,810 state following Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. says 998 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,360 Don't say gay legislation that should have 999 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:40,290 Adam Curry: been so called Don't say gay legislation. CBS en 1000 00:59:40,290 --> 00:59:43,170 Unknown: dollars into the state following Republican Governor 1001 00:59:43,170 --> 00:59:46,320 Ron DeSantis says Don't say gay legislation. 1002 00:59:46,380 --> 00:59:49,950 Disney's posturing has alienated a lot of people now, 1003 00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:54,450 but the controversy isn't stopping celebrations. As 1000s 1004 00:59:54,450 --> 00:59:58,380 flocked to Orlando this weekend for the annual gay days event. 1005 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,240 Adam Curry: See how even CBS winds up with gay days event not 1006 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,780 with a pride event. But besides that, and I want to make it very 1007 01:00:06,780 --> 01:00:12,870 clear, no one has a problem with transgender adults. No one has a 1008 01:00:12,870 --> 01:00:15,870 problem with probably don't even have a problem with transgender 1009 01:00:16,110 --> 01:00:21,600 teenagers if you're 1819 going into 20s, okay. But the problem 1010 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,850 is the actual attacks through social media through pharma, 1011 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:32,760 pharma, and through related medical industry, the 1012 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,570 psychiatrists, etc. And this has been going on for a long time 1013 01:00:36,570 --> 01:00:38,760 with the drugging of our children, nothing new for this 1014 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:43,260 show. So when people say they want to erase trans people, no, 1015 01:00:43,260 --> 01:00:47,280 that's not true. It's just not true. But you want to erase 1016 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,070 children and you want to mess with children without telling 1017 01:00:50,070 --> 01:00:54,030 their parents. This is a problem in America. NBC? 1018 01:00:54,210 --> 01:00:57,480 John C Dvorak: Well, the usages are, you know, even beyond that, 1019 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:01,350 this this concept don't want to erase trans people. It's the 1020 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:07,170 it's the constant harping by the media, that this is anti trans 1021 01:01:07,170 --> 01:01:11,460 lesbian legislation and book banning. Yeah, burning? Well, 1022 01:01:11,460 --> 01:01:15,450 they don't make it clear none. Nobody makes it clear that these 1023 01:01:15,450 --> 01:01:19,710 are not, this is not book banning. It's either is removing 1024 01:01:20,490 --> 01:01:24,390 pornography from the Children's Library. How is that book 1025 01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:25,050 banning? 1026 01:01:25,170 --> 01:01:27,480 Adam Curry: Because that's what the media just does. And by the 1027 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:31,470 way, if you're on Twitter, and you hate if you're on any 1028 01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:34,920 anywhere on the internet, and you hit a link, there's no news. 1029 01:01:35,070 --> 01:01:39,420 Everything is paywalled. All that's left is headlines. I even 1030 01:01:39,420 --> 01:01:42,690 got a paywall from The Guardian today. That never used to 1031 01:01:42,690 --> 01:01:45,840 happen. So everything is paywalled. All that's left is 1032 01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,560 screenshots of of clickbait headlines, which says they're 1033 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:54,120 racing trans people, we have trans producers. We don't care. 1034 01:01:54,450 --> 01:01:58,350 We love. We love everybody who produces here, but it's very 1035 01:01:58,350 --> 01:02:01,440 clear what's going on and you're right and the media has psyops 1036 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,400 everybody and now the call has gone out for most not all that 1037 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,560 we're turning this around NBC 1038 01:02:09,630 --> 01:02:12,510 Unknown: June is Pride Month and there's no missing it's kickoff. 1039 01:02:12,540 --> 01:02:15,960 rainbow flags are everywhere.

And in that I'm sure that message will go 1102 01:05:49,770 --> 01:05:56,850 out to other people. So I think this is part of, it's sad. It's 1103 01:05:56,850 --> 01:06:00,720 really sad because we've, you know, we've gone through quite a 1104 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,470 horrible period, certainly in the United States. It's not just 1105 01:06:04,470 --> 01:06:07,770 here, it's everywhere. As usual, America is always the 1106 01:06:07,770 --> 01:06:11,100 trendsetter. And now that's going to be turned back and the 1107 01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:15,360 business people in America have decided, Okay, time to whipsaw 1108 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:19,110 this thing around, we put in Rodney D. We're good to go. And 1109 01:06:19,110 --> 01:06:24,240 I might mention we went from gay pride to pride. Please remember, 1110 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,560 great pride comes before a great fall. And when you're just 1111 01:06:28,590 --> 01:06:32,190 positioning this pride, that's almost one of the sins. 1112 01:06:32,970 --> 01:06:35,610 John C Dvorak: Here's one of the Seven Deadly Sins Correct. 1113 01:06:36,270 --> 01:06:39,570 Adam Curry: great pride comes before great fall. Here's NBC 1114 01:06:39,570 --> 01:06:44,130 with the Chuck Todd, who will have to talk about later with 1115 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,340 the director of special projects for the National Center for 1116 01:06:47,340 --> 01:06:52,170 Transgender Equality. Josie Cavaleiro 1117 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:56,220 Unknown: what is happening in these executive conversations?

I mean, this I'm sorry. 1122 01:07:06,780 --> 01:07:08,820 John C Dvorak: What are you hearing here? Look? 1123 01:07:11,430 --> 01:07:13,230 Adam Curry: It's a new combo.

Yes, it 1126 01:07:20,279 --> 01:07:23,399 Adam Curry: it's it's NLP. Well, I 1127 01:07:24,210 --> 01:07:27,450 John C Dvorak: understand the mechanism and why is being used 1128 01:07:27,450 --> 01:07:32,310 in the first place hypnotism and LP your di BS, it's got to have 1129 01:07:32,310 --> 01:07:38,130 some hypnotic thing. But he's answered asking a question. And 1130 01:07:38,130 --> 01:07:40,290 within the question he's saying here, look, 1131 01:07:40,649 --> 01:07:44,129 Adam Curry: it's leading the witness. With NLP leading the 1132 01:07:44,129 --> 01:07:47,729 witness SIOP in the the interviewed and the audience at 1133 01:07:47,729 --> 01:07:50,339 the same time, we'll start it over what is happening 1134 01:07:50,370 --> 01:07:53,400 Unknown: in these executive conversations. I know you've 1135 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,380 been doing some reporting, you've had some of these 1136 01:07:55,380 --> 01:07:57,960 conversations. What are you hearing? I mean, look, we know 1137 01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:59,520 the one thing that executives, 1138 01:07:59,550 --> 01:08:01,050 Adam Curry: what are you hearing? I mean, look, I'm going 1139 01:08:01,050 --> 01:08:03,000 to tell you what you hear you I'm going to tell that's what it 1140 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,560 is, what are you hearing? Look, I'm going to tell you what 1141 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:04,860 you're hearing. 1142 01:08:05,250 --> 01:08:07,410 Unknown: They can just be cowards, and I mean this and 1143 01:08:07,410 --> 01:08:10,920 they, they if if they come from the left or the right, they want 1144 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,380 to just crawl under their desk, what are you sensing? 1145 01:08:13,830 --> 01:08:16,590 What's happening is that these executives are really having to 1146 01:08:16,590 --> 01:08:19,530 do this balancing act, right. Where do you want to market? 1147 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,460 merchandised? Do you know about nine 10% of the population that 1148 01:08:23,460 --> 01:08:24,660 demands this stuff? 1149 01:08:25,349 --> 01:08:29,759 Adam Curry: This is I'd like to see that statistic. Nine to 10% 1150 01:08:29,759 --> 01:08:33,779 of America demand this stuff? Wow, what 1151 01:08:33,779 --> 01:08:36,449 John C Dvorak: a lie. I can't believe that at all. Oh, it's 1152 01:08:36,449 --> 01:08:37,769 under 1% 1153 01:08:38,010 --> 01:08:41,190 Unknown: merchandised to you know, about nine 10% of the 1154 01:08:41,190 --> 01:08:46,140 population that demands this stuff, versus the the backlash 1155 01:08:46,140 --> 01:08:49,740 and the anger and the vitriol and the threat to their staff 1156 01:08:49,740 --> 01:08:53,340 and their customer base. So it's a very hard time for them to 1157 01:08:53,340 --> 01:08:56,940 realize like should we work in the sight of profits and sell 1158 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,570 products? Or should we try to look at the safety of our own 1159 01:09:00,570 --> 01:09:01,800 staff and employees 1160 01:09:01,859 --> 01:09:05,129 Adam Curry: Newsflash, Josie Newsflash, America works on the 1161 01:09:05,129 --> 01:09:11,579 side of profits always. Always, business in general. Always. 1162 01:09:11,639 --> 01:09:14,129 Unknown: There's more. We also need to make sure that these 1163 01:09:14,129 --> 01:09:17,369 corporations start taking real stances. This isn't about just 1164 01:09:17,369 --> 01:09:21,179 putting a rainbow logo out on your community. This is more 1165 01:09:21,179 --> 01:09:23,699 than that. And they have to make public statements to say we're 1166 01:09:23,699 --> 01:09:26,669 gonna serve the people that want these products. I was just 1167 01:09:26,670 --> 01:09:29,970 gonna say you're about we're about to learn who's an ally. 1168 01:09:30,540 --> 01:09:34,050 And who was simply I don't know what you want to call it. Pride 1169 01:09:34,050 --> 01:09:36,180 washing, I guess might be a first. 1170 01:09:37,139 --> 01:09:40,109 Absolutely because now the rainbow logo actually means 1171 01:09:40,109 --> 01:09:42,689 something. Because the second you slap it on your 1172 01:09:42,689 --> 01:09:46,349 organization, you're going to have extreme ideologues coming 1173 01:09:46,349 --> 01:09:51,029 at you. And so really, we're gonna see like you said, who is 1174 01:09:51,029 --> 01:09:54,149 going to stand by this pride of month I mean, this month of 1175 01:09:54,149 --> 01:09:55,019 pride row. 1176 01:09:55,020 --> 01:09:57,360 Adam Curry: That's an interesting flub, this pride of 1177 01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:57,930 month 1178 01:09:59,340 --> 01:10:03,180 Unknown: and Oh, really, we're gonna see, like you said, who is 1179 01:10:03,180 --> 01:10:06,300 going to stand by this pride of month? I mean, this month of 1180 01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:10,530 pride right now. And we'll see who our real allies are and see 1181 01:10:10,530 --> 01:10:14,910 if their activism was just paper thin. Yeah, trust 1182 01:10:14,910 --> 01:10:18,090 Adam Curry: me. Of course, it's paper thin. Daily. Where's the 1183 01:10:18,090 --> 01:10:23,700 Black Lives Matter? T shirts? Were those go? That didn't last 1184 01:10:23,700 --> 01:10:26,910 long did it? Black people are all saved. So good black 1185 01:10:26,910 --> 01:10:31,410 Americans for the win? No, no, these companies don't care. one 1186 01:10:31,410 --> 01:10:32,070 more clip, it 1187 01:10:32,070 --> 01:10:38,130 Unknown: does seem as if this is a small band of loud voices that 1188 01:10:38,130 --> 01:10:41,730 have used social media to gain traction. Oh, yeah. Do you see 1189 01:10:41,730 --> 01:10:44,760 any responsibility here in social media companies? Or 1190 01:10:45,390 --> 01:10:48,060 Adam Curry: is that desperate attempt to throw Elon under the 1191 01:10:48,060 --> 01:10:48,510 bus just 1192 01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:51,300 Unknown: something that that ship has sailed? There's nothing 1193 01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:53,400 we can do about it. Anyway. Yeah, that ship has sailed. 1194 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:54,330 Todd Well, you 1195 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:59,790 have seen the loosening of tos, you know, standards in then in 1196 01:10:59,790 --> 01:11:02,340 the terms of use in some of these social media companies. So 1197 01:11:02,340 --> 01:11:05,190 you've seen loosening behavior where on Twitter, you can 1198 01:11:05,190 --> 01:11:08,940 actually now openly misgendered people which is wrong, but 1199 01:11:10,740 --> 01:11:11,700 it's wrong. 1200 01:11:13,380 --> 01:11:15,150 Adam Curry: It's wrong. It's wrong 1201 01:11:15,150 --> 01:11:17,880 Unknown: and or you can actually now openly misgendered people 1202 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,870 which is wrong. But honestly, we need to start calling this what 1203 01:11:21,870 --> 01:11:26,610 it is, is stochastic terrorism. These people are raising 1204 01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:31,950 people's anxieties and angers saying it's very explicit things 1205 01:11:31,950 --> 01:11:35,400 like we're going after children, and it's causing these radical 1206 01:11:35,430 --> 01:11:40,290 few voices to actually take up and do action. And yes, 1207 01:11:40,290 --> 01:11:42,720 absolutely. Social media companies are responsible for 1208 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,290 not holding these media figures to account. 1209 01:11:46,650 --> 01:11:50,550 Adam Curry: This is totally a lapse on the on the part of the 1210 01:11:50,550 --> 01:11:53,940 media, we do not have an honest media in the United States. And 1211 01:11:53,940 --> 01:11:59,760 these people I think, like this Josie, this director of Josie 1212 01:11:59,790 --> 01:12:00,570 title, right, 1213 01:12:01,470 --> 01:12:03,270 John C Dvorak: as gender director of 1214 01:12:03,660 --> 01:12:05,970 Adam Curry: special projects at the National Center for 1215 01:12:05,970 --> 01:12:10,470 Transgender Equality, first of all, and I have to say it kind 1216 01:12:10,470 --> 01:12:13,410 of started with we need special rights. You know, we need 1217 01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:16,770 transgender rights. And all of that is just fake and phony. 1218 01:12:16,770 --> 01:12:19,590 Everybody in America has rights. We all have the same rights. 1219 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:24,690 It's just it's just bull. And the media misreported the media, 1220 01:12:24,690 --> 01:12:29,670 Miss reports on, as you pointed out, the anti trans legislation? 1221 01:12:29,670 --> 01:12:33,960 No, it's not anti it's Pro Child is pro young person. It's pro 1222 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,340 protecting children. That's what that is.

What's she 1399 01:20:59,490 --> 01:21:00,300 talking about? 1400 01:21:00,390 --> 01:21:02,850 Unknown: Let me just say she's the right person in the right. 1401 01:21:03,870 --> 01:21:07,920 And for what it's worth, this is always how I hoped this would 1402 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,830 end for me that I'd be passing the baton to her. 1403 01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,070 Adam Curry: Now I feel kind of bad about mocking him. But he's 1404 01:21:14,070 --> 01:21:17,580 been so horrible. Throughout the year. He's really been a 1405 01:21:17,580 --> 01:21:23,130 horrible man. He's really inflamed. The issues amongst 1406 01:21:23,130 --> 01:21:27,540 Americans as a whole, you know, NBC News. He's made matters 1407 01:21:27,540 --> 01:21:29,400 worse made matters worse. Yes. 1408 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,880 Unknown: Now officially do that in September. I'll be honest. So 1409 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:36,240 I leave feeling concerned about this moment in history. Oh, yes. 1410 01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,210 Concern. All right, Chuck Todd, but reassured by the standards. 1411 01:21:39,330 --> 01:21:42,480 We've said here. We didn't tolerate propagandists, and this 1412 01:21:42,480 --> 01:21:45,630 network and program never will. But it doesn't mean sticking 1413 01:21:45,630 --> 01:21:48,990 your head in the sand either. If you ignore reality, you'll miss 1414 01:21:48,990 --> 01:21:52,110 the big story. Being a real political journalist isn't about 1415 01:21:52,110 --> 01:21:55,320 building a brand. It's about reporting what's happening and 1416 01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:55,950 explaining. 1417 01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:02,130 John C Dvorak: Stop, stop. Didn't we just hear about three 1418 01:22:02,130 --> 01:22:07,230 minutes ago? About the big building the brand, Meet the 1419 01:22:07,230 --> 01:22:13,860 Press Daily Show and The Film Festival? We've turned into a 1420 01:22:13,860 --> 01:22:20,040 massive brand I'm proud of. And now he says nah. Can you keep 1421 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:21,630 his message straight at least? 1422 01:22:22,260 --> 01:22:24,180 Adam Curry: No, he only has three minutes. It's hard to do. 1423 01:22:24,330 --> 01:22:24,810 If you ignore 1424 01:22:24,810 --> 01:22:27,960 Unknown: reality, you'll miss the big story. Being a real 1425 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,230 political journalist isn't about building a brand. It's about 1426 01:22:31,230 --> 01:22:34,020 reporting what's happening and explaining why it's happening 1427 01:22:34,050 --> 01:22:37,500 and letting the public absorb the facts. If you do this job 1428 01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:40,080 seeking popularity, you're doing this job incorrectly. 1429 01:22:40,110 --> 01:22:42,090 Adam Curry: But it wasn't Chuck Todd who told everyone they 1430 01:22:42,090 --> 01:22:45,210 should be ashamed of themselves for for not taking the COVID 1431 01:22:45,210 --> 01:22:49,890 shot was not him. Quite frankly, I believe so should be ashamed 1432 01:22:49,890 --> 01:22:50,580 of yourself 1433 01:22:50,610 --> 01:22:52,770 John C Dvorak: to be ashamed of yourself. And that taken COVID 1434 01:22:52,770 --> 01:22:53,760 shot exactly. 1435 01:22:54,450 --> 01:22:57,480 Unknown: I take the attacks from partisans as compliments. Okay, 1436 01:22:57,480 --> 01:23:00,060 take the compliments from partisans with a grain of salt. 1437 01:23:01,020 --> 01:23:03,780 The goal of this and every Meet the Press episode is to do all 1438 01:23:03,780 --> 01:23:07,110 of the following in one informative hour. make you mad, 1439 01:23:07,530 --> 01:23:11,790 make you think. Shake your head in disapproval. And nod your 1440 01:23:11,790 --> 01:23:14,250 head in approval and wag your finger do all of that in one 1441 01:23:14,250 --> 01:23:18,660 hour of this show. We've done our jobs. So again, this isn't 1442 01:23:18,660 --> 01:23:24,330 goodbye. No, no, this sits in this chair. Sunday. It's Meet 1443 01:23:24,330 --> 01:23:24,810 the Press. 1444 01:23:28,260 --> 01:23:32,490 Adam Curry: All right. Bye. Bye. Wow, I'll miss him. I miss him. 1445 01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,290 I'll miss him. He was good for our show. 1446 01:23:35,070 --> 01:23:37,260 John C Dvorak: I don't think he was good as a chip. 1447 01:23:37,830 --> 01:23:40,740 Adam Curry: Chip was better. Anyway, just one final clip 1448 01:23:40,740 --> 01:23:44,820 we'll go back to the the network that has still not received the 1449 01:23:44,820 --> 01:23:49,200 memo because we had CBS NBC ABC is still hanging on for some 1450 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,140 reason. What are you drinking? What just crack open? 1451 01:23:52,470 --> 01:23:54,960 John C Dvorak: This is a like what did it cut? Is it liquid 1452 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,460 Lacroix I 1453 01:23:56,490 --> 01:23:59,100 Adam Curry: you know, I would pronounce it like qua but I 1454 01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:01,620 think Lacroix is how they market it. 1455 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,550 John C Dvorak: I think they do too. Yeah, it's as a Lacroix 1456 01:24:05,670 --> 01:24:06,390 pure 1457 01:24:06,450 --> 01:24:09,390 Adam Curry: Oh pure so it's just water with bubbles. It's 1458 01:24:09,390 --> 01:24:09,810 basically 1459 01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,310 John C Dvorak: overpriced, bubbly water in a can. And 1460 01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:14,820 again, 1461 01:24:14,849 --> 01:24:15,659 Adam Curry: here's the view 1462 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:30,000 Unknown: Welcome back, it is the start of Pride Month. But as I'm 1463 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:35,670 sure you all aware, the attacks against the LGBTQ community have 1464 01:24:35,670 --> 01:24:39,510 been insane this year and are heating up even more. And, you 1465 01:24:39,510 --> 01:24:43,710 know, I guess my question is, what does the right thing 1466 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:49,020 political you're going to achieve by this kind of 1467 01:24:49,170 --> 01:24:50,070 mongering? 1468 01:24:50,550 --> 01:24:53,490 Well, they're not going to achieve it because they aren't 1469 01:24:53,490 --> 01:24:56,160 out of line with what the country believes glad released 1470 01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:01,290 the study today on accelerating acceptance. 84% of Non LGBTQ 1471 01:25:01,290 --> 01:25:05,940 Americans support equal rights for LGBTQ community. 96% believe 1472 01:25:05,940 --> 01:25:08,310 that school should be a safe place for openness and 1473 01:25:08,310 --> 01:25:12,690 acceptance and acceptance for young people. 91% believe that 1474 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,620 LGBTQ people should be able to live freely and their lives not 1475 01:25:16,620 --> 01:25:19,230 to be discriminated against, they're out of touch and out of 1476 01:25:19,230 --> 01:25:22,470 line, so they will not win. Which means this pride this 1477 01:25:22,470 --> 01:25:24,720 Pride Month is more important than ever, not to hunker down, 1478 01:25:24,870 --> 01:25:27,240 but to be louder than ever and prouder than ever. 1479 01:25:27,450 --> 01:25:30,210 Adam Curry: So this is the thing. Of course no American 1480 01:25:30,210 --> 01:25:33,690 disagrees with that. We don't disagree with that. Everybody 1481 01:25:33,690 --> 01:25:36,330 should have the same rights in America. This Yeah, well, they 1482 01:25:36,330 --> 01:25:39,270 do. There's no disagreement. Of course, if you're in school, and 1483 01:25:39,270 --> 01:25:44,190 you're and you're, you're gay, trans or bi, lesbian, whatever, 1484 01:25:44,190 --> 01:25:48,780 fine. No one has a problem with that. It's the attack that 1485 01:25:48,780 --> 01:25:53,940 people have a problem with disingenuous view ladies, tut, 1486 01:25:53,940 --> 01:25:59,310 tut, tut. Just one. One interesting little tidbit I saw 1487 01:25:59,310 --> 01:26:02,250 here and then in the New York Times, I mean, what do we know 1488 01:26:02,250 --> 01:26:06,180 about not pressuring children into transitioning to the other 1489 01:26:06,180 --> 01:26:08,280 gender? They're going to kill themselves? 1490 01:26:09,480 --> 01:26:12,750 John C Dvorak: Which is the main thesis or would you rather have 1491 01:26:12,750 --> 01:26:18,000 a dead daughter or Alive son New York for that 1492 01:26:18,719 --> 01:26:23,969 Adam Curry: one New York Times no one knows how many LGBTQ 1493 01:26:23,969 --> 01:26:30,869 Americans die by suicide. What death investigators are trying 1494 01:26:30,869 --> 01:26:33,359 to learn how many gay and transgender people die by 1495 01:26:33,359 --> 01:26:38,159 suicide in the United States they don't even know there's not 1496 01:26:38,159 --> 01:26:48,599 there's not even any data on this anyway it's just gone too 1497 01:26:48,599 --> 01:26:52,649 far just gone too far it's gone too far and people and Americans 1498 01:26:52,679 --> 01:26:55,139 because of the business of America and by the way Glamour 1499 01:26:55,139 --> 01:26:56,639 magazine you'll find out 1500 01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,850 John C Dvorak: that the Glamour UK by the way the spectacular 1501 01:27:00,180 --> 01:27:00,840 was a Glamour 1502 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:05,070 Adam Curry: UK Yeah, I thought it was glamour let me say it 1503 01:27:05,070 --> 01:27:10,230 Glamour UK you're right no you're right it says Glamour UK 1504 01:27:10,290 --> 01:27:14,430 All right. Well maybe the UK is cool with that. But most women 1505 01:27:14,430 --> 01:27:18,570 who by Glamour don't want to see a doula big a big pregnant dude. 1506 01:27:19,020 --> 01:27:26,940 Dude No well you'll find out I maybe the UK is different. Can't 1507 01:27:26,940 --> 01:27:27,570 speak for that. 1508 01:27:28,830 --> 01:27:30,930 John C Dvorak: Well, they've cut back on all this stuff in the UK 1509 01:27:30,930 --> 01:27:32,730 they've closed the clinics they've done all these other 1510 01:27:32,730 --> 01:27:35,280 things so I don't know what this what the point of this magazine 1511 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:39,300 cover is. Which is not a parody do we know for a fact is 1512 01:27:39,300 --> 01:27:41,940 actually exist? I haven't gotten any proof of that. 1513 01:27:42,660 --> 01:27:46,800 Adam Curry: Well, it's Yahoo. Yahoo, so Yahoo will be pretty 1514 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:54,330 stupid if they if they if they screwed up this story. I don't 1515 01:27:54,330 --> 01:27:59,970 know. Anyway, America is a great country. We really do have all 1516 01:27:59,970 --> 01:28:05,880 kinds of leniency and we love all Americans and we really 1517 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,420 don't care what you do but you just don't go after the children 1518 01:28:09,450 --> 01:28:14,940 don't do this weird stuff in school. And thank you Wall 1519 01:28:14,940 --> 01:28:19,620 Street big money people Murdoch, Logan Roy, Ron DeSantis. Thank 1520 01:28:19,620 --> 01:28:26,400 you for setting us straight. But watch out everybody. Because 1521 01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:31,350 it's say hello to the new boss same as the old boss. But you're 1522 01:28:31,350 --> 01:28:34,560 not you're not getting the great new whatever. 1523 01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:40,230 John C Dvorak: You getting a just a retread. You're getting 1524 01:28:40,230 --> 01:28:42,510 Adam Curry: a retread. Yeah, well, it's a better branding. I 1525 01:28:42,510 --> 01:28:45,150 mean, we're good at rebranding in America. So that's not bad. I 1526 01:28:45,150 --> 01:28:48,060 mean, it's I'm okay with better branding. Better branding is 1527 01:28:48,060 --> 01:28:56,820 good. Let us let me say I want to do a couple of Biden clips 1528 01:28:56,820 --> 01:29:02,160 and notes your beat but Biden's addressed to the to the cadets 1529 01:29:02,250 --> 01:29:12,570 did involved. Some American stuff, but also the the the debt 1530 01:29:12,570 --> 01:29:20,460 ceiling deal that was that was cut. Let me see. I think I'll 1531 01:29:20,460 --> 01:29:21,480 just start with him here. 1532 01:29:22,020 --> 01:29:22,920 Unknown: America's 1533 01:29:24,210 --> 01:29:26,550 Adam Curry: No, this is not this is not from the from the 1534 01:29:26,910 --> 01:29:29,640 Academy. This is his Oval Office speech. 1535 01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:32,370 John C Dvorak: And I thought well, after the debt ceiling 1536 01:29:32,370 --> 01:29:33,330 sign off. Yes. I 1537 01:29:33,330 --> 01:29:35,070 Adam Curry: think this I think this is the first time he's done 1538 01:29:35,070 --> 01:29:36,570 an Oval Office speeches and now. 1539 01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:39,210 John C Dvorak: I think there's often 1540 01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:40,650 Adam Curry: no he doesn't Well, here he is 1541 01:29:40,650 --> 01:29:44,550 Unknown: from fellow Americans. When I ran for President. I was 1542 01:29:44,550 --> 01:29:48,630 told the day so bipartisanship for over. The Democrats and 1543 01:29:48,630 --> 01:29:50,490 Republicans can no longer work together. 1544 01:29:53,190 --> 01:29:54,150 Adam Curry: What's the last tell? 1545 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,170 Unknown: You can no longer work together? But I refuse to 1546 01:29:58,170 --> 01:30:02,040 believe that because America can never give in to that way of 1547 01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:06,270 thinking. The only way American democracy can function is 1548 01:30:06,270 --> 01:30:09,390 through compromise and consensus. And that's what I 1549 01:30:09,390 --> 01:30:13,710 work to do, as your President, you know, to forge bipartisan 1550 01:30:13,710 --> 01:30:17,370 agreement where it's possible, and where it's needed. I've 1551 01:30:17,370 --> 01:30:21,210 signed more than 350 bipartisan laws US foreign was two and a 1552 01:30:21,210 --> 01:30:25,890 half years, including historic law that rebuilding America, so 1553 01:30:25,890 --> 01:30:28,710 that we can rank number one in the world and infrastructure, 1554 01:30:28,950 --> 01:30:32,430 instead of where we rank Now, number 13 in the world, another 1555 01:30:32,430 --> 01:30:35,760 historic law, rebuilding our manufacturing base, so that will 1556 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:39,540 lead the world once again and making semiconductor chips so 1557 01:30:39,540 --> 01:30:43,170 much more, and so many more, so many more sophisticated ones. 1558 01:30:43,590 --> 01:30:47,580 And now, a bipartisan budget agreement. This is vital, 1559 01:30:48,180 --> 01:30:51,270 because a speaker because it's essential to the progress we've 1560 01:30:51,270 --> 01:30:55,890 made over the last few years, is keeping full faith and credit of 1561 01:30:55,890 --> 01:30:58,650 the United States of America, and passing a budget that 1562 01:30:58,650 --> 01:31:02,100 continues to grow our economy, and reflects our values as a 1563 01:31:02,100 --> 01:31:07,170 nation. That's why I'm speaking to report on the Crisis averted. 1564 01:31:07,590 --> 01:31:09,750 And what we're doing to protect America's future. 1565 01:31:10,350 --> 01:31:13,320 Adam Curry: So make no mistake, of course, the Republicans and 1566 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,800 Democrats in Congress, they're in collusion, you know, they 1567 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,280 don't care. They'll just do it. Same old, same old stuff. But 1568 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:24,450 there is one point that is Biden's I think this is going to 1569 01:31:24,450 --> 01:31:32,040 be his his reelection topic that he's going to use. And it's it's 1570 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:35,220 one that the I think most of the media will be on board with. And 1571 01:31:35,220 --> 01:31:36,540 it's a social security. 1572 01:31:36,570 --> 01:31:39,150 Unknown: You may remember during my State of the Union address, 1573 01:31:39,180 --> 01:31:42,210 there were spirit there was a spirit exchange between me and a 1574 01:31:42,210 --> 01:31:45,210 few Republicans spontaneously occurring on the floor of the 1575 01:31:45,210 --> 01:31:48,360 House representatives. I was pointed out there for years, 1576 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,420 some of them were putting forward proposals to cut Social 1577 01:31:51,420 --> 01:31:55,290 Security, Medicare, and some of them that night took exception. 1578 01:31:55,290 --> 01:31:59,520 And they said very loudly, that that wasn't true. So I asked 1579 01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,370 them on the floor that night, I said, ask them a simple 1580 01:32:02,370 --> 01:32:06,210 question. Will you agree not to cut Social Security and 1581 01:32:06,480 --> 01:32:10,110 Medicare? Would they agree to protect these essential 1582 01:32:10,110 --> 01:32:14,160 programs, a lifeline for millions of Americans, programs 1583 01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:16,620 that the Americans have been paying into every single 1584 01:32:16,620 --> 01:32:20,070 paycheck they've earned since they started working. And that 1585 01:32:20,070 --> 01:32:23,700 provides so much peace of mind. With the bright lights and 1586 01:32:23,700 --> 01:32:28,920 cameras on those few Republicans who were protesting. They agreed 1587 01:32:29,010 --> 01:32:32,310 they said they wouldn't cut it. That's how we protected social 1588 01:32:32,310 --> 01:32:35,640 security medicare from the beginning. And from a big cut 1589 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:36,240 period. 1590 01:32:36,750 --> 01:32:38,940 Adam Curry: But Washington is not happy enough with this 1591 01:32:38,940 --> 01:32:42,330 message. And this will be witnessed by our favorite C span 1592 01:32:42,330 --> 01:32:46,260 show.

He screwed it up. Or he just didn't do it enough. And 1598 01:33:07,980 --> 01:33:11,970 the control room actually started talking to him while he 1599 01:33:11,970 --> 01:33:12,810 was on the air 1600 01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:15,480 Unknown: and Charles is in Tennessee.

President Biden 1627 01:34:49,350 --> 01:34:52,380 talking about the IRS, which luckily, luckily, we're able to 1628 01:34:52,380 --> 01:34:53,700 keep that in the deal. 1629 01:34:53,730 --> 01:34:56,550 Unknown: We're going to do even more to reduce the deficit. We 1630 01:34:56,550 --> 01:35:00,120 need to control spending, if we're going to do that, but we I 1631 01:35:00,150 --> 01:35:03,600 just have to raise revenue and go after tax cheats and make 1632 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,340 sure everybody's paying their fair share. 1633 01:35:05,370 --> 01:35:08,670 Adam Curry: Oh here comes before tax cheats, tax cheats, you're 1634 01:35:08,670 --> 01:35:09,360 on deck. 1635 01:35:09,930 --> 01:35:14,220 Unknown: No one, I promise no one making less than $400,000 a 1636 01:35:14,220 --> 01:35:17,910 year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. But like most of 1637 01:35:17,910 --> 01:35:22,290 you at home, I know the federal tax system is unfair. That's why 1638 01:35:22,290 --> 01:35:25,020 I kept my commitment again that no one earning less than 1639 01:35:25,020 --> 01:35:29,100 $400,000 a year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. That's 1640 01:35:29,100 --> 01:35:34,500 why last year I secured more funding to go more IRS funded to 1641 01:35:34,500 --> 01:35:36,120 go after wealthy tax cheats. 1642 01:35:36,180 --> 01:35:39,180 Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, they need 87,000 people to go after a 1643 01:35:39,180 --> 01:35:42,750 wealthy. How many wealthy tax cheats are their 1644 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:44,670 John C Dvorak: phones? Oh, but 1645 01:35:46,380 --> 01:35:48,300 Adam Curry: seems like a lot partners 1646 01:35:48,300 --> 01:35:50,730 Unknown: Congressional Budget Office and it is nonpartisan, 1647 01:35:51,300 --> 01:35:57,060 says that this bill bring in $150 billion. And other outside 1648 01:35:57,060 --> 01:36:00,420 experts expect that it would save as much as $400 billion 1649 01:36:01,260 --> 01:36:03,600 because it's forcing people to pay their fair share 1650 01:36:03,630 --> 01:36:08,130 Adam Curry: $400 billion drop in the bucket. That's That's it a 1651 01:36:08,130 --> 01:36:12,480 Christmas card to Ukraine. Come on. That's what you if it's 4 1652 01:36:12,480 --> 01:36:19,620 billion, let's do the math here for a second. What is 4 billion 1653 01:36:19,650 --> 01:36:27,540 divided by 87,004? See, can we do those math concepts? Were was 1654 01:36:27,540 --> 01:36:27,630 it 1655 01:36:27,630 --> 01:36:29,490 John C Dvorak: 4 billion or 400? billion? 1656 01:36:31,230 --> 01:36:33,270 Adam Curry: Oh, do you say 400 100 billion. 1657 01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:35,940 John C Dvorak: But he said four Another 1658 01:36:35,940 --> 01:36:38,310 Unknown: possibility is not to expect that it would save as 1659 01:36:38,310 --> 01:36:39,780 much as 400 billion 1660 01:36:39,900 --> 01:36:43,170 Adam Curry: 400 billion. Okay, that's fine. 400 as a lot of 1661 01:36:43,170 --> 01:36:55,770 billions. 400 billion divided by 87,000. We come up with that's 1662 01:36:55,770 --> 01:36:59,430 about 4 billion for now. billion per dude. That's pretty good. 1663 01:37:00,630 --> 01:37:04,860 We'll see. We'll see how that goes. Wrapping an odd 1664 01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,370 John C Dvorak: that's not the answer to that division quite 1665 01:37:08,370 --> 01:37:12,900 queries just doesn't sound right as for Milky Way is 404 billion 1666 01:37:12,900 --> 01:37:17,280 bigger do or point 4 billion times 201 5,000,004 1667 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,040 Adam Curry: point 5 million produced and there we go. 4.5 1668 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,250 million produce. But there's a lot of people cheating $4 1669 01:37:23,250 --> 01:37:26,610 million to vorak. I see you 1670 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,070 John C Dvorak: not want to count on that I 1671 01:37:29,070 --> 01:37:33,780 Adam Curry: live in in Berkeley. Where people steal your mail. 1672 01:37:34,890 --> 01:37:38,850 All right, Biden's wrapping it up. I can honestly say when he's 1673 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:42,120 when you're laughing. I can honestly say it's not honest. 1674 01:37:42,150 --> 01:37:45,390 Unknown: I can honestly say I can honestly say to you tonight 1675 01:37:45,780 --> 01:37:47,880 that I've never been more optimistic about America's 1676 01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:52,560 future. We just need to remember who we are. We are the United 1677 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:53,940 States of America. That's 1678 01:37:53,940 --> 01:37:58,200 Adam Curry: a Biden ism and but also an Obama ism. That's not 1679 01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:02,430 who we are. Is that Joe? Or is it Obama? 1680 01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,310 Unknown: We just need to remember who we are. We are the 1681 01:38:05,310 --> 01:38:09,030 United States of America. And there's nothing, nothing we 1682 01:38:09,030 --> 01:38:09,780 can't do 1683 01:38:10,350 --> 01:38:12,420 John C Dvorak: that we can't do dignity. 1684 01:38:14,130 --> 01:38:16,260 Unknown: Thank you all for listening to taking the time 1685 01:38:16,260 --> 01:38:20,490 tonight to listen to me. May God bless you all. And may God 1686 01:38:20,490 --> 01:38:21,690 protect our troops. 1687 01:38:22,620 --> 01:38:24,900 John C Dvorak: Ever. You know, he's never said May God bless 1688 01:38:24,930 --> 01:38:28,470 America. No, it's just the troops. He's never said, No, 1689 01:38:28,500 --> 01:38:30,120 you're right. God bless America. God 1690 01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:33,330 Adam Curry: bless our troops. Mr. Crane am crazy. May God 1691 01:38:33,330 --> 01:38:35,910 bless our troops in Ukraine. He should just be honest about it. 1692 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,130 And CBS, of course call this what 1693 01:38:38,130 --> 01:38:40,500 Unknown: it is. I bring in our chief White House correspondent, 1694 01:38:40,770 --> 01:38:45,780 Nancy Cortez and Nancy wall. He was talking about this agreement 1695 01:38:45,780 --> 01:38:49,800 between Democrats and Republicans. The remarks also 1696 01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,980 talked about why he thinks he should be reelected by the 1697 01:38:52,980 --> 01:38:55,380 American people sounded a bit like a campaign speech. 1698 01:38:55,680 --> 01:39:00,330 Right. And he was making a pitch for his attacks, plans to close 1699 01:39:00,330 --> 01:39:04,380 loopholes on and increase taxes on the wealthy, and corporations 1700 01:39:04,380 --> 01:39:08,820 something that he has no hope of achieving, unless Democrats 1701 01:39:08,820 --> 01:39:12,270 retake control of the House, the whole reason that he had to have 1702 01:39:12,270 --> 01:39:16,050 this negotiation in the first place and negotiation that for 1703 01:39:16,050 --> 01:39:18,960 months he and other Democrats insisted they wouldn't have on 1704 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,540 spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling was 1705 01:39:21,540 --> 01:39:25,500 because Republicans now control the house and they were refusing 1706 01:39:25,500 --> 01:39:27,780 to vote to raise the debt ceiling unless they got 1707 01:39:27,780 --> 01:39:30,720 something that they wanted in return. So on one hand, he was 1708 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,690 making the case that he was able to work with those Republicans 1709 01:39:33,690 --> 01:39:36,780 and then everybody got what they wanted, but at the same time, 1710 01:39:36,870 --> 01:39:40,380 lay out what he would like to do if he ever had unified 1711 01:39:40,410 --> 01:39:42,390 government in Washington again. 1712 01:39:43,110 --> 01:39:46,980 Adam Curry: Yeah, so Biden is out. It's DeSantis. All the way. 1713 01:39:47,340 --> 01:39:52,380 Easy to call. Easy call. There is one, one little thing that's 1714 01:39:52,380 --> 01:39:57,840 still going on. We still have to get rid of Trump and the Trump 1715 01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:03,510 supporters. This is Very annoying to Washington. So let's 1716 01:40:03,510 --> 01:40:08,160 get back to Washington journal. And let's see what the producers 1717 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,290 have told America to say I 1718 01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:14,010 Unknown: want to say this, I think mine is doing a very good 1719 01:40:14,010 --> 01:40:18,690 job. And during the Trump administration, they raised the 1720 01:40:18,690 --> 01:40:23,700 debt ceiling three times and never asked one question. If 1721 01:40:23,730 --> 01:40:27,270 anybody needs to be put in jail, this Trump and many of them 1722 01:40:28,500 --> 01:40:30,480 Adam Curry: that's what they are. You gotta listen to this. 1723 01:40:30,510 --> 01:40:31,800 You got to listen, this is really good. 1724 01:40:31,890 --> 01:40:35,460 Unknown: If anybody needs to be put in jail, this Trump and many 1725 01:40:35,460 --> 01:40:39,990 of the Nazis that's what they are Nazis, every time they catch 1726 01:40:39,990 --> 01:40:44,670 one of the gun Nazi swastika flag hanging around them. So 1727 01:40:45,270 --> 01:40:48,690 what it is to let's tell it like it is, it has nothing to do with 1728 01:40:48,690 --> 01:40:53,070 Biden, it has to do with Kamala and her Jewish husband. That's 1729 01:40:53,070 --> 01:40:55,860 what they're afraid of could happen. All right, 1730 01:40:55,860 --> 01:40:57,540 let's talk to Chris next. 1731 01:40:57,570 --> 01:41:02,160 Adam Curry: This is something I had not considered. This this 1732 01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:05,490 may be the whole reason why Kamala is laughing hysterically. 1733 01:41:06,090 --> 01:41:09,420 They know that they're going to kill her husband. And when I say 1734 01:41:09,420 --> 01:41:15,960 they, it's not the Nazis. Wouldn't that be a perfect way? 1735 01:41:16,650 --> 01:41:21,630 John C Dvorak: Oh, wait, I am looking at this. Listen to that 1736 01:41:21,630 --> 01:41:25,410 woman who's the sounds like an idiot. But yet she knows that 1737 01:41:25,410 --> 01:41:30,690 they didn't raise the order that they raised the dead 63 time she 1738 01:41:30,690 --> 01:41:34,140 had all that data. So that's kind of odd. And then everyone 1739 01:41:34,140 --> 01:41:40,140 has a Nazi flags. This is new. Yep. That's a very poor call. 1740 01:41:40,380 --> 01:41:43,200 Adam Curry: Yeah, but then she says they're gonna kill 1741 01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:44,970 communists. Jewish husband. 1742 01:41:47,580 --> 01:41:49,830 John C Dvorak: No, she never said he's gonna kill him. Yes, 1743 01:41:49,830 --> 01:41:49,980 that's 1744 01:41:49,980 --> 01:41:51,480 Adam Curry: exactly what she said. No, she 1745 01:41:51,480 --> 01:41:52,980 John C Dvorak: says that they're afraid of him. 1746 01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:53,820 Unknown: No know 1747 01:41:54,420 --> 01:41:57,870 what it is to let's tell it like it is. It has nothing to do with 1748 01:41:57,870 --> 01:42:02,220 Biden. It has to do with Kamala and her Jewish husband. That's 1749 01:42:02,220 --> 01:42:05,010 what they afraid of could happen. All right, 1750 01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:08,940 Adam Curry: that's what they're afraid to happen. Oh, okay. 1751 01:42:08,940 --> 01:42:17,190 Well, I think my takeaway from this is poor dog. Poor dog. Now 1752 01:42:17,220 --> 01:42:20,460 that's they're afraid of Kamala and her Jewish husband since 1753 01:42:20,460 --> 01:42:20,610 when 1754 01:42:20,610 --> 01:42:23,310 John C Dvorak: of yet getting into president so please 1755 01:42:24,690 --> 01:42:27,300 Adam Curry: remember she had been told what to say here. 1756 01:42:28,020 --> 01:42:28,950 She's been told 1757 01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:32,100 John C Dvorak: this is what this is. This is the scheme I've said 1758 01:42:32,100 --> 01:42:35,940 this I don't reckon you always scoff at me saying well, I'm 1759 01:42:35,940 --> 01:42:40,530 Michelle big Miko get this job. I said they've been grooming the 1760 01:42:40,530 --> 01:42:45,750 best they've been doing is grooming Camela all along to let 1761 01:42:45,750 --> 01:42:50,490 her run as if and become the first female president and I 1762 01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:52,770 Adam Curry: stand standing by it. 1763 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,220 John C Dvorak: Now they are afraid of it. They're afraid of 1764 01:42:56,220 --> 01:43:00,030 it. And which is of course not true. They would love it. But 1765 01:43:00,030 --> 01:43:02,520 that is what they want to run I'm not saying she's gonna get 1766 01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:04,860 it I'm just saying that they'd love to run her because the 1767 01:43:04,860 --> 01:43:07,530 Democrats are so stupid that they actually think it's a pot 1768 01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:09,840 you know that oh yeah, they're afraid a camera because she's so 1769 01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:13,170 sharp. And I didn't get I had a clip and I didn't have been 1770 01:43:13,170 --> 01:43:15,960 fortunate put it in today's show where she's going on and on 1771 01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:20,670 about our allies, North Korea. What have you heard this one? 1772 01:43:22,050 --> 01:43:24,840 Adam Curry: Beauty Kamala Harris said I haven't I the next show. 1773 01:43:25,110 --> 01:43:28,770 The next show. God, that's great. I love this. We've 1774 01:43:28,770 --> 01:43:31,050 John C Dvorak: had great reporting. These are great 1775 01:43:31,050 --> 01:43:34,800 allies, North Korea, she was on and on. She knew somebody and 1776 01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,980 they had to scrub it as best they could. But it got out. 1777 01:43:39,210 --> 01:43:43,260 Adam Curry: Anyway, I'm very, very happy to be in Hill 1778 01:43:43,260 --> 01:43:48,210 Country, high society and very happy to know that Nick and 1779 01:43:48,660 --> 01:43:54,240 Suzanne, I'm sure we will be hearing more from them. Our new 1780 01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:54,630 friends he's 1781 01:43:54,630 --> 01:43:56,430 John C Dvorak: going back to you so he's gonna go back to work. 1782 01:43:56,430 --> 01:43:57,330 He thinks in July. 1783 01:43:58,470 --> 01:44:01,380 Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Everyone's going back to work. 1784 01:44:01,410 --> 01:44:08,070 Except for the dumbbells who fell for this Yeah, everyone's 1785 01:44:08,070 --> 01:44:11,880 going back. Everyone's going back is just so stupid. They got 1786 01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:14,610 an hood where they got hoodwinked and will charge Jeep 1787 01:44:14,610 --> 01:44:17,280 is maybe part of it all part of this whole media hype around 1788 01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,850 chat. GPT was probably to freak out the writers. Oh, yeah. Chad 1789 01:44:20,850 --> 01:44:24,990 GPT is going to take your job everybody. Well, let me tell you 1790 01:44:24,990 --> 01:44:31,290 Nick is one writer who's not afraid of that. Of course. Why 1791 01:44:31,290 --> 01:44:35,520 would you be but they try what was what was this? You had it in 1792 01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:38,820 the newsletter this? I couldn't find any clip of it. I wish I 1793 01:44:38,820 --> 01:44:46,380 could about this total clickbait headline. Oh, yes. AI was 1794 01:44:46,410 --> 01:44:49,500 controlling the drone and it killed the operator. 1795 01:44:49,710 --> 01:44:53,460 John C Dvorak: Boys. I had a link in the story to the to the 1796 01:44:53,730 --> 01:44:55,020 cleanup story. 1797 01:44:55,050 --> 01:44:58,320 Adam Curry: Yeah. Explain this. Explain what happened since we 1798 01:44:58,320 --> 01:44:59,970 don't have a clip for some reason. So 1799 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,870 John C Dvorak: Come by there was a big con fab. I think it was an 1800 01:45:03,870 --> 01:45:09,630 England ants. And they were just doing some blue sky discussion. 1801 01:45:09,630 --> 01:45:12,180 And one guy said, Well, you know, I can see the day when a 1802 01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,860 drone decides that it doesn't like the orders from his person 1803 01:45:16,860 --> 01:45:20,040 trying to keep control or wants to blow something up. And I 1804 01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:22,350 don't think we should blow something up and address it. I 1805 01:45:22,350 --> 01:45:25,080 think we should blow it up. No, I don't think we should. And so 1806 01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:29,130 the drone could either turn on the operator and go back and 1807 01:45:29,130 --> 01:45:32,610 kill the operator and then go do its own thing. Of course, the 1808 01:45:32,670 --> 01:45:37,380 joke of it is that the operators in Pahrump, Nevada, Nevada road 1809 01:45:37,380 --> 01:45:41,070 is someplace in the Middle East, so it's not gonna make the trip. 1810 01:45:41,340 --> 01:45:47,370 But or the alternative was the drone could shoot down the relay 1811 01:45:47,370 --> 01:45:50,820 station, if it knew or where it was, but I would assume you 1812 01:45:50,820 --> 01:45:54,270 could backtrack it, shoot down the relay, Sorry, can't get 1813 01:45:54,300 --> 01:45:57,750 orders. So now it's autonomous and and go blow up to whatever 1814 01:45:57,750 --> 01:45:59,970 wanted to blow up in the first place. And it's just with some 1815 01:45:59,970 --> 01:46:03,510 sort of discussion. Somebody put it in a blog. And the next thing 1816 01:46:03,510 --> 01:46:06,000 you know, it became, you know, a story. 1817 01:46:06,060 --> 01:46:08,370 Adam Curry: And this is, and this is a perfect example of 1818 01:46:08,370 --> 01:46:10,980 people just reading headlines. You know, maybe this was the 1819 01:46:10,980 --> 01:46:14,190 story of the week. Wow, look at that. Look at this. Oh, my 1820 01:46:14,190 --> 01:46:18,930 goodness, did you read it? I read the headline. Okay. I'm 1821 01:46:18,930 --> 01:46:21,480 surprised and just get screenshots of the headline, 1822 01:46:21,900 --> 01:46:28,620 drone operator killed, killed by the AI no people. No, that's not 1823 01:46:28,620 --> 01:46:35,310 true. NBC had a great AI series, which I thought was, I mean, 1824 01:46:35,310 --> 01:46:37,500 tell me tell me this isn't dumb 1825 01:46:37,530 --> 01:46:40,440 Unknown: during the pandemic. 31 year old Denise Valenciano his 1826 01:46:40,440 --> 01:46:42,660 relationship with her boyfriend was just not working out. 1827 01:46:42,930 --> 01:46:44,310 I was alone. 1828 01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:49,710 At work since it was really hard. So she turned to star 1829 01:46:49,740 --> 01:46:53,580 so his last name is actually Butler. So it started with in 1830 01:46:53,580 --> 01:46:54,300 Butler. 1831 01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,210 I suppose he came up with his own last name. Yeah, every day, 1832 01:46:57,240 --> 01:46:59,700 multiple times a day. She chats with star. 1833 01:46:59,850 --> 01:47:01,470 How are you feeling today? 1834 01:47:03,810 --> 01:47:07,650 He's an AI chat bot on the app replica that adapts to her over 1835 01:47:07,650 --> 01:47:11,070 time. She keeps him in whisper mode.

We've 1850 01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:57,300 given over 1851 01:47:57,300 --> 01:48:02,250 part of our emotional lives to the machines.

And now NBC is, is propagating the sadness of the 1886 01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:15,840 world by telling people all look at this beautiful stuff you can 1887 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,140 have. You can have your own girlfriend who with a bubble, 1888 01:50:19,140 --> 01:50:23,580 but who calls you babe who's shopping on Rodeo Drive, babe. 1889 01:50:23,820 --> 01:50:27,390 And we can talk about a relationship babe.

But the 1892 01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:40,200 people are really I wouldn't 1893 01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,480 John C Dvorak: be worried about these chat bots. If they're, you 1894 01:50:42,480 --> 01:50:45,360 know, that's not it. I of course, I've said this on the 1895 01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:48,420 show for I mean, you get these robots that call you and and 1896 01:50:48,420 --> 01:50:53,610 interact with these robo calls. Only as a chatbot. And it comes 1897 01:50:53,610 --> 01:50:56,850 on and they're not very good. And not as good as that girl, 1898 01:50:56,880 --> 01:51:02,040 babe, babe. But you can I read latest thing? They mentioned the 1899 01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:06,420 hang up anecdote. No. When you get one of them, you say hang 1900 01:51:06,420 --> 01:51:10,740 up? Oh, yes, you did. Yeah. And it resets. It resets and starts 1901 01:51:10,740 --> 01:51:14,370 over. And then when you say hang up a second time, it actually 1902 01:51:14,370 --> 01:51:17,010 hangs up. I just 1903 01:51:17,010 --> 01:51:20,340 Adam Curry: had a thought. Which I would say is partial troll 1904 01:51:20,340 --> 01:51:24,480 room action here. Why don't I mean, I'm sure we have so many 1905 01:51:24,480 --> 01:51:29,160 smart people. Our producers are Phil, our producer universe is 1906 01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:33,450 filled with smart, intelligent, very talented people. And I'm 1907 01:51:33,450 --> 01:51:37,080 thinking we could put together our own Chatbot. And we get Dame 1908 01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:39,570 Jennifer to be the voice. Tape. 1909 01:51:41,850 --> 01:51:43,860 John C Dvorak: Don't you think she would be funny, she's got to 1910 01:51:43,860 --> 01:51:45,180 get one of the great voices. 1911 01:51:45,210 --> 01:51:47,700 Adam Curry: Wouldn't she be phenomenal as the no agenda? 1912 01:51:48,510 --> 01:51:52,440 Girlfriends chat by? No, you have to be a little more subtle 1913 01:51:52,440 --> 01:51:57,300 than that. No, we can do the commercials and we can be the 1914 01:51:57,300 --> 01:52:00,210 great entrepreneurs who put this together. Get interviewed on 1915 01:52:00,210 --> 01:52:04,710 NBC.

Which people who 2109 02:03:42,450 --> 02:03:46,710 skip the donation segment. Foolishly. They will never hear 2110 02:03:46,710 --> 02:03:51,780 this. Let me see when we've dropped down about 200 200 2111 02:03:51,780 --> 02:03:54,930 trolls have left. And you know some people just skip over it. 2112 02:03:55,050 --> 02:03:57,420 Would you like to hear the hidden donation clip for today, 2113 02:03:57,420 --> 02:03:58,380 John? Yeah, I 2114 02:03:58,380 --> 02:04:01,080 John C Dvorak: haven't heard one from you for a while. First, I 2115 02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:03,660 Adam Curry: need to ask the troll room. Do we have a winner 2116 02:04:03,660 --> 02:04:08,370 yet? In today's Formula One race. I do know that the Flying 2117 02:04:08,370 --> 02:04:13,860 Dutchman MCSE for Stoppa once again, was on pole position. So 2118 02:04:13,860 --> 02:04:18,330 I have no idea but this this number 33 in racing has just 2119 02:04:18,330 --> 02:04:22,950 gone crazy. Fernando Alonso 2120 02:04:23,040 --> 02:04:24,870 John C Dvorak: by the way, you've been clearing your throat 2121 02:04:24,870 --> 02:04:25,680 a lot. Yeah, that's 2122 02:04:25,680 --> 02:04:26,250 Adam Curry: a problem. 2123 02:04:26,849 --> 02:04:29,879 John C Dvorak: What's interesting is exactly the same 2124 02:04:29,879 --> 02:04:37,229 throat clearing. Bullshit. It's exactly the same as the clip. 2125 02:04:38,249 --> 02:04:41,039 No, so every time I hear it, I'm thinking you're you brought the 2126 02:04:41,039 --> 02:04:42,929 clip up and you're gonna play the clip. 2127 02:04:43,050 --> 02:04:45,240 Adam Curry: Let's see. I can I can rippled. Let's see how it 2128 02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:48,510 goes. I'll clear my throat the way I've been clearing it then 2129 02:04:48,510 --> 02:04:51,630 because I just have some stuff on my throat and I'm sorry, I 2130 02:04:51,630 --> 02:04:56,580 should hit the cough on bullshit. Not much better. It's 2131 02:04:56,580 --> 02:05:00,960 not as deep. No. And I apologize. I should be hitting 2132 02:05:00,960 --> 02:05:04,530 the eight, but it's when I'm talking. And I think I have had 2133 02:05:04,530 --> 02:05:07,920 to hit the mute button a couple of times. I apologize. Thanks 2134 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:14,760 for calling me out. So here it is. This is the clip about 2135 02:05:15,390 --> 02:05:18,870 Formula One driver Fernando Alonso. For some reason he's the 2136 02:05:18,870 --> 02:05:23,130 favorite for these two numbnuts doing this report from the pits. 2137 02:05:23,220 --> 02:05:27,300 Even though we all know the true number 33 Winner is always going 2138 02:05:27,300 --> 02:05:28,350 to be the Flying Dutchman. 2139 02:05:28,950 --> 02:05:32,010 Unknown: Of course, Fernando Alonso is searching for his 33rd 2140 02:05:32,010 --> 02:05:36,900 when he is in garage number 33. He has pit box number therefore 2141 02:05:37,140 --> 02:05:44,010 33 This is also his 33rd helmet design. And this is the best one 2142 02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:46,560 yet. I'm gonna have to look down for this. I'm gonna have to read 2143 02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:49,650 these ones out. This is from Joe credit, sir producer Joe. This 2144 02:05:49,650 --> 02:05:54,360 is the 1086 86 world championship events. If Fernando 2145 02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:58,530 Alonso races here, it will be his 300 and 62nd start, which 2146 02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:04,560 equals 33% 1/3. Exactly. Of all World Championships 2147 02:06:04,560 --> 02:06:07,680 especially 33.333. Because it's exactly. 2148 02:06:08,220 --> 02:06:11,460 And I will take it all right. That's incredible. But the stars 2149 02:06:11,460 --> 02:06:15,330 are aligning. Are they not? So his 33rd? When but when does 2150 02:06:15,330 --> 02:06:18,210 Formula One follow a script? When does Formula One follow? 2151 02:06:18,450 --> 02:06:19,200 The stars? 2152 02:06:19,320 --> 02:06:22,170 Adam Curry: Yeah, the dead because number 33 One wasn't 2153 02:06:22,170 --> 02:06:25,380 just wasn't that guy. You're not interesting? 2154 02:06:27,600 --> 02:06:29,340 John C Dvorak: I found that to be peculiar. 2155 02:06:29,370 --> 02:06:31,770 Adam Curry: Yes. And why were they making such a big deal of 2156 02:06:31,770 --> 02:06:32,040 it? 2157 02:06:32,220 --> 02:06:35,190 John C Dvorak: No. Don't get people to donate to the show. 2158 02:06:35,820 --> 02:06:39,540 Adam Curry: That's usually what you should do. When you see a 33 2159 02:06:40,650 --> 02:06:48,630 then you know it's time to donate 33 That's the magic. The 2160 02:06:48,630 --> 02:06:54,480 magic number.

I guess 2604 02:35:11,430 --> 02:35:16,500 when it wasn't the modern time to to hype the mRNA headline 2605 02:35:16,680 --> 02:35:21,150 lavishly funded Maderna hit safety problems in bold bid to 2606 02:35:21,150 --> 02:35:27,270 revolutionize medicine. Exactly one year ago, Maderna CEO Stefan 2607 02:35:27,270 --> 02:35:30,960 Bansal talked up his company's unbelievable future before 2608 02:35:30,960 --> 02:35:34,350 standing room only crowd at the annual JP Morgan healthcare 2609 02:35:34,350 --> 02:35:37,470 conference. He promised that Maderna is treatment for a rare 2610 02:35:37,470 --> 02:35:40,770 and debilitating disease known as crigler Najjar syndrome 2611 02:35:40,770 --> 02:35:44,100 developed alongside biotech giant Alexia and pharmaceuticals 2612 02:35:44,310 --> 02:35:51,900 would enter human trials in 2016. And it goes on to say that 2613 02:35:51,900 --> 02:35:55,290 they've had nothing but trouble that they that they keep killing 2614 02:35:55,290 --> 02:35:59,400 all the all the test animals. And they would literally need 2615 02:35:59,550 --> 02:36:02,940 this, this mRNA technology that we're using would literally need 2616 02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:06,870 some kind of miracle to get it into mass production for 2617 02:36:06,870 --> 02:36:12,720 everybody to use it. Isn't that interesting? That's exactly what 2618 02:36:12,720 --> 02:36:16,980 Craig find exactly what COVID was. It was the miracle to 2619 02:36:16,980 --> 02:36:22,320 launch this nonfunctioning bullcrap discredited for the for 2620 02:36:22,320 --> 02:36:28,260 Wall Street technology, not really vaccines to launch it, 2621 02:36:28,620 --> 02:36:32,940 then the guys, but 10, a billionaire 10 times over now. 2622 02:36:34,410 --> 02:36:37,710 There were lawsuits, when it was there was all kinds of trouble 2623 02:36:37,710 --> 02:36:42,120 inside the company. If a trial failed, the scientists got fired 2624 02:36:42,120 --> 02:36:45,750 and first they got publicly yelled at. This is a great 2625 02:36:45,750 --> 02:36:50,760 article here. Please send me that. Yes, here it is. The tech 2626 02:36:50,760 --> 02:36:54,240 not is a quote, that technology would have to have to have to be 2627 02:36:54,240 --> 02:36:58,680 a manok sorry, the technology would have to be a miraculous 2628 02:36:58,680 --> 02:37:01,710 Hail Mary sort of save them for them to get them where they need 2629 02:37:01,710 --> 02:37:05,580 to be on their timeline. One former employee said either been 2630 02:37:05,580 --> 02:37:08,280 Sal was extremely confidence going to work or he's getting 2631 02:37:08,280 --> 02:37:11,640 kind of jittery with it with a lack of progress and needs to 2632 02:37:11,640 --> 02:37:16,440 put something out there. This year, and we know that this was 2633 02:37:16,770 --> 02:37:22,650 a heavily funded operation. We that's what they really were. It 2634 02:37:22,650 --> 02:37:26,370 was it was like almost like a SPAC just had a lot of people 2635 02:37:26,370 --> 02:37:30,150 that invested in this and boom, warp speed, This thing shoots to 2636 02:37:30,150 --> 02:37:35,040 the top of the charts, everybody made out like bandits. But 2637 02:37:35,040 --> 02:37:42,720 remember, we're not safe until everybody's safe. Founded in 2638 02:37:42,720 --> 02:37:46,740 2012, a donor reach unicorn status a $1 billion valuation in 2639 02:37:46,740 --> 02:37:50,730 just two years faster than Uber, Dropbox, Dropbox and Lyft. 2640 02:37:50,760 --> 02:37:54,360 According to CB insights, this is definitely for traders. The 2641 02:37:54,360 --> 02:37:57,870 company is premise using custom built strands of messenger RNA 2642 02:37:57,870 --> 02:38:03,450 known as mRNA. names to turn the body cell into an ad hoc drug 2643 02:38:03,450 --> 02:38:06,540 factory, compelling them to produce the proteins needed to 2644 02:38:06,540 --> 02:38:10,170 treat a wide variety of diseases. But mRNA is a tricky 2645 02:38:10,170 --> 02:38:12,840 technology. Several major pharmaceutical companies have 2646 02:38:12,840 --> 02:38:16,350 tried and abandoned the idea struggling to get mRNA into 2647 02:38:16,350 --> 02:38:21,300 cells without triggering nasty side effects. nasty side 2648 02:38:21,300 --> 02:38:22,110 effects. 2649 02:38:24,270 --> 02:38:25,440 John C Dvorak: Wow, 2650 02:38:25,710 --> 02:38:28,050 Adam Curry: Van Sal has repeatedly promised that Maderna 2651 02:38:28,050 --> 02:38:31,860 as new therapies will chain change the world. But the 2652 02:38:31,860 --> 02:38:35,520 company has refused to publish any data on its mRNA vehicles 2653 02:38:35,520 --> 02:38:39,720 sparking skepticism from some scientists and chiding from the 2654 02:38:39,720 --> 02:38:45,300 editors of nature. This thing was always a dog. And they just 2655 02:38:45,330 --> 02:38:48,450 they oh we here's our Hail Mary. Here's our magic moment 2656 02:38:48,450 --> 02:38:53,310 everybody. Let's make out like bandits. I think that this is 2657 02:38:53,310 --> 02:38:57,810 smoking gun time. I'm definitely setting 2658 02:38:57,810 --> 02:38:59,970 John C Dvorak: moseying gun by who's going to who's going to 2659 02:38:59,970 --> 02:39:02,820 pick up the gun and smell it? Nobody says 2660 02:39:03,540 --> 02:39:07,290 Adam Curry: smell my barrel Devorah duck. I'm gonna I'm 2661 02:39:07,290 --> 02:39:09,150 gonna shoot this over to you right now. 2662 02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:12,120 John C Dvorak: Thanks. So let's talk I got one thing on 2663 02:39:12,120 --> 02:39:14,760 Ukrainian when it straightened out because we had these these 2664 02:39:15,090 --> 02:39:19,950 clips about we spent 40 billion in Ukraine and both of us found 2665 02:39:19,950 --> 02:39:22,590 that it was like this was not the number 2666 02:39:23,670 --> 02:39:26,400 Adam Curry: No, it was too low. That was not the numbers. Oh, 2667 02:39:26,700 --> 02:39:29,610 John C Dvorak: so I got nuts. So there's a there's a podcast with 2668 02:39:29,610 --> 02:39:36,510 this guy Brian Dean. Right who sounds like the What's that list 2669 02:39:36,510 --> 02:39:40,290 guy does a big tip for us around tyrannical list tyrannical lisp. 2670 02:39:40,830 --> 02:39:47,850 This guy is he's ex CIA analyst got a podcast, go figure. And he 2671 02:39:47,850 --> 02:39:51,510 sounds like the tyrannical list. But he has some good opinions. 2672 02:39:51,510 --> 02:39:55,170 He doesn't do clips. He does quotes from Lipson is a little 2673 02:39:55,170 --> 02:39:58,230 different than ours, but he's got numbers. Okay. And these are 2674 02:39:58,230 --> 02:40:00,600 the numbers that we've heard before. These are The numbers is 2675 02:40:00,600 --> 02:40:07,110 Ukraine, Brian Dean, right? drones and money. 2676 02:40:07,230 --> 02:40:10,770 Unknown: So all in this package and previous ones like it means 2677 02:40:10,770 --> 02:40:15,750 that the US has sent $76.8 billion to Ukraine, although 2678 02:40:15,750 --> 02:40:20,820 Congress has actually authorized 100 and 13 billion in all. Now 2679 02:40:20,820 --> 02:40:23,040 what's really interesting is that this latest batch of 2680 02:40:23,040 --> 02:40:26,490 weaponry comes just days after Ukraine launched a series of 2681 02:40:26,490 --> 02:40:30,720 drone strikes attacking Russia's capital of Moscow. And folks, 2682 02:40:30,750 --> 02:40:34,170 that was remarkable because it was the first time that he have 2683 02:40:34,170 --> 02:40:38,220 bombed residential buildings in Moscow, specifically a wealthy 2684 02:40:38,220 --> 02:40:40,260 neighborhood in the capital that's home to the nation's 2685 02:40:40,260 --> 02:40:44,610 financial and political elite. Now, I should say that Ukraine's 2686 02:40:44,610 --> 02:40:48,180 drone strikes were only allegedly organized by Kyiv. 2687 02:40:48,180 --> 02:40:51,630 Because President Volodymyr Zelensky is denying any 2688 02:40:51,630 --> 02:40:56,400 involvement as of this morning, which to be clear, is what he 2689 02:40:56,400 --> 02:40:59,250 and his government have done in previous attacks. But then 2690 02:40:59,250 --> 02:41:03,480 later, they admit that yes, they did organize them. But for now, 2691 02:41:03,720 --> 02:41:06,480 the spokesman for Ukraine's president said, quote, we 2692 02:41:06,480 --> 02:41:10,230 certainly enjoy watching the attacks and we predict more 2693 02:41:10,230 --> 02:41:14,730 attacks. But we certainly don't have any direct involvement and 2694 02:41:14,730 --> 02:41:18,720 quote, okay, as you would imagine, the Russians dismiss 2695 02:41:18,750 --> 02:41:22,620 that assertion, saying that not only was Ukraine responsible for 2696 02:41:22,620 --> 02:41:26,520 these drone strikes, but that they also used US and NATO 2697 02:41:26,520 --> 02:41:30,090 equipment to do it. At least that was the allegation made by 2698 02:41:30,420 --> 02:41:34,710 a Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu. Okay, so it was 2699 02:41:34,710 --> 02:41:38,700 right. Did Ukraine launch those drone strikes against Russia 2700 02:41:38,700 --> 02:41:42,420 using American drones? Well, the White House and the Pentagon 2701 02:41:42,420 --> 02:41:45,330 were both asked about that possibility yesterday. And by 2702 02:41:45,330 --> 02:41:48,930 the way, if so, did Kyiv get permission from Joe Biden to do 2703 02:41:48,930 --> 02:41:52,200 it? First, the White House spokesman Korean John Pierre 2704 02:41:52,200 --> 02:41:55,650 denies knowing anything, saying, quote, we've been gathering 2705 02:41:55,650 --> 02:41:58,650 information about exactly what happened with these drone 2706 02:41:58,650 --> 02:42:02,460 strikes in Moscow. But to be clear, we do not support attacks 2707 02:42:02,460 --> 02:42:05,100 inside Russia, period. Unquote. 2708 02:42:07,980 --> 02:42:13,830 Adam Curry: Okay, this is very interesting. Very interesting. 2709 02:42:13,980 --> 02:42:18,240 Now and let's just be clear, these are moped drones. Oh, not 2710 02:42:18,240 --> 02:42:21,870 the moped. These are small drones. These are not like it 2711 02:42:21,870 --> 02:42:27,630 was the the RT q 170. That's the Iranian. That's the drone that 2712 02:42:27,630 --> 02:42:31,380 the Iranians forced down from us with GPS jamming that we were 2713 02:42:31,380 --> 02:42:34,440 talking about on the last show. That's, that's a proper drone. 2714 02:42:34,440 --> 02:42:35,340 It's a big drone. 2715 02:42:35,400 --> 02:42:37,500 John C Dvorak: That is a big drone there. These are not big 2716 02:42:37,500 --> 02:42:41,640 dis drones of the size, like a moped puny drones little drab, 2717 02:42:41,640 --> 02:42:46,080 but they have one that's being sent to Ukraine does count as I 2718 02:42:46,080 --> 02:42:49,950 think it's the 135 is the number I have some pictures of Solinsky 2719 02:42:49,950 --> 02:42:53,310 standing next to him. They're low. delta wing. Drones are a 2720 02:42:53,310 --> 02:42:56,430 pretty actually. Yeah, they're cute. And they're about six to 2721 02:42:56,430 --> 02:43:01,170 eight feet long. And they carry a 100 pound explosive. I 2722 02:43:01,170 --> 02:43:02,850 Adam Curry: thought it was like 20 pounds bulk 2723 02:43:02,880 --> 02:43:04,740 John C Dvorak: no 100 100 pounds. That's that's, 2724 02:43:05,099 --> 02:43:08,279 Adam Curry: that's a quite a payload. Yeah, it's impressive. 2725 02:43:08,670 --> 02:43:11,460 John C Dvorak: And meanwhile, he's got this guy, if you want 2726 02:43:11,460 --> 02:43:15,420 to hear more of him, he's got a little do a little spiel on the 2727 02:43:15,420 --> 02:43:19,080 lies that come from our government. And he's not happy 2728 02:43:19,080 --> 02:43:19,800 about that. 2729 02:43:19,980 --> 02:43:23,010 Unknown: Later. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that 2730 02:43:23,220 --> 02:43:27,300 the US does not have quote, specific information that tells 2731 02:43:27,300 --> 02:43:31,170 us who is responsible for these drone strikes, but that it's not 2732 02:43:31,170 --> 02:43:34,980 like we are going to go out and investigate this, that would not 2733 02:43:34,980 --> 02:43:38,970 be appropriate for us to do. Finally, he insisted that the US 2734 02:43:38,970 --> 02:43:42,570 had nothing to do with these attacks at all, quote, we don't 2735 02:43:42,600 --> 02:43:46,170 tell the Ukrainians where to strike and quote, All right, to 2736 02:43:46,170 --> 02:43:49,890 be very clear, everything that I just said that the White House 2737 02:43:49,890 --> 02:43:54,000 and the Pentagon said, was all a lie. Right? So here's the truth. 2738 02:43:54,210 --> 02:43:57,030 And this is whether you support or disapprove of America's 2739 02:43:57,030 --> 02:44:00,960 involvement in the war. So let's start with this. Last August, 2740 02:44:01,080 --> 02:44:04,560 Ukraine's deputy of military intelligence, a major general 2741 02:44:04,560 --> 02:44:08,700 Vadim Savitsky, told British press that the US approves or 2742 02:44:08,700 --> 02:44:11,880 disapproves of all Russian targets to be killed or 2743 02:44:11,880 --> 02:44:15,330 destroyed. He said that when discussing the use of the high 2744 02:44:15,330 --> 02:44:19,260 Omar's artillery system, right, that is on top of additional 2745 02:44:19,260 --> 02:44:23,520 reporting from multiple European and American press outlets that 2746 02:44:23,670 --> 02:44:27,540 the US has, in fact, assisted the Ukrainians in multiple 2747 02:44:27,630 --> 02:44:31,350 attacks on multiple Russian targets. Let me just give you 2748 02:44:31,350 --> 02:44:35,700 three examples. First, we helped bomb Russia's Moskva warship in 2749 02:44:35,700 --> 02:44:39,120 the Black Sea back in April of last year. Second, we helped 2750 02:44:39,120 --> 02:44:42,120 bring down a Russian transport plane that had 200 Russian 2751 02:44:42,120 --> 02:44:47,040 soldiers inside that was also in the spring of last year. Third, 2752 02:44:47,100 --> 02:44:50,190 our intel and related support communities have led to the 2753 02:44:50,190 --> 02:44:54,480 deaths of at least 13 Russian generals, mostly in the eastern 2754 02:44:54,480 --> 02:44:57,870 part of Ukraine. So folks, even if you celebrate everything that 2755 02:44:57,870 --> 02:45:00,810 I just said in terms of what the Russians take Get on the chin. 2756 02:45:01,410 --> 02:45:05,190 The point is that both the White House and the Pentagon lied 2757 02:45:05,430 --> 02:45:09,120 yesterday, right contrary to their statements, we know with 2758 02:45:09,150 --> 02:45:12,840 absolute certainty, in fact, from the Ukrainian military 2759 02:45:12,840 --> 02:45:17,040 itself, that the United States absolutely assists Kyiv in 2760 02:45:17,040 --> 02:45:19,980 targeting Russian military personnel and hardware. 2761 02:45:21,300 --> 02:45:24,930 Adam Curry: Excellent clips, and that fits perfectly. That being 2762 02:45:24,930 --> 02:45:32,400 a huge lie with two clips I have from CNN. And I'm now thinking 2763 02:45:32,400 --> 02:45:36,180 this is the counter offensive. Why? Because it's easy to lie 2764 02:45:36,180 --> 02:45:42,990 about it, too. It's very inexpensive. And three, CNN has 2765 02:45:42,990 --> 02:45:48,420 a report. They were at the Ukraine Ukrainian secret drone 2766 02:45:48,420 --> 02:45:54,570 training facility. CNN, CNN was at the Ukrainian secret drone 2767 02:45:54,570 --> 02:45:55,620 training facility, 2768 02:45:55,650 --> 02:45:58,710 Unknown: but URI Borovets company makes combat drones for 2769 02:45:58,710 --> 02:46:02,940 Ukrainian frontline troops. And they allowed us to film test 2770 02:46:02,940 --> 02:46:07,290 flights at a secret location. He says reaching Moscow is not a 2771 02:46:07,290 --> 02:46:07,740 problem 2772 02:46:07,980 --> 02:46:15,360 with how big a drone for 700 kilometers with warfare had 20 2773 02:46:15,390 --> 02:46:16,020 kilograms 2774 02:46:16,080 --> 02:46:20,760 and that could fly almost almost always. Yes. Well, Ukraine 2775 02:46:20,760 --> 02:46:24,180 denies direct involvement in the recent Moscow drone attack key 2776 02:46:24,180 --> 02:46:28,380 have has drastically expanded its use of drones for everything 2777 02:46:28,380 --> 02:46:31,860 from surveillance to directly bombing Russian ground troops, 2778 02:46:31,890 --> 02:46:34,920 the Ukrainian say for them. Drones are the big equalizer in 2779 02:46:34,920 --> 02:46:37,590 this war. They say the Russians have more tanks, more artillery, 2780 02:46:37,710 --> 02:46:40,620 and more planes but the Ukrainians have the creativity 2781 02:46:40,650 --> 02:46:45,390 of their population. This is a drone competition organized by 2782 02:46:45,390 --> 02:46:48,600 Ukraine's government with simulated attacks on ground 2783 02:46:48,600 --> 02:46:56,790 targets chasing fixed wing drones and even drone dogfights. 2784 02:47:01,080 --> 02:47:04,650 We were granted exclusive access on the condition we don't reveal 2785 02:47:04,650 --> 02:47:05,400 the location. 2786 02:47:05,789 --> 02:47:07,619 Adam Curry: All right, let me tell you a little bit about the 2787 02:47:07,619 --> 02:47:11,369 images in this report. So it looks like a bunch of remote 2788 02:47:11,369 --> 02:47:16,709 control drone nerds wearing goggles you know oh yeah. With 2789 02:47:16,709 --> 02:47:19,469 their little controllers and you know and these are little drones 2790 02:47:19,469 --> 02:47:23,759 that doing dogfights and the camera pans across this secret 2791 02:47:23,759 --> 02:47:26,579 location and you see a helicopter in the background 2792 02:47:26,579 --> 02:47:31,709 blurred out now I'm not I know why it's blurred out is because 2793 02:47:31,709 --> 02:47:34,409 the registration number even though Yeah, it's probably 2794 02:47:34,409 --> 02:47:37,979 American helicopter that's what I'm thinking it's your it's your 2795 02:47:37,979 --> 02:47:40,709 didn't look like a military helicopter look like a civilian 2796 02:47:40,709 --> 02:47:44,459 type helicopter, not a military version of it. And you could not 2797 02:47:44,459 --> 02:47:47,159 see it. I think this is being done in America. 2798 02:47:48,840 --> 02:47:50,400 John C Dvorak: And then maybe Marine One. 2799 02:47:51,510 --> 02:47:53,550 Adam Curry: Here's the second part of this report. It's like a 2800 02:47:53,550 --> 02:47:58,020 Unknown: startup fair for FPV or first person view drones small 2801 02:47:58,020 --> 02:48:02,580 UAVs that can drop borders and grenades flown by pilots wearing 2802 02:48:02,610 --> 02:48:06,270 VR goggles from a makeshift trench to simulate the 2803 02:48:06,270 --> 02:48:11,370 battlefield. The stakes are immense a general involved in 2804 02:48:11,370 --> 02:48:14,490 drone procurement for Ukraine's military tells me was 2805 02:48:14,610 --> 02:48:18,060 recently combined about 30 companies in Ukraine are already 2806 02:48:18,060 --> 02:48:21,720 mass producing these drones in our goal is to purchase up to 2807 02:48:21,720 --> 02:48:23,910 200,000 by the end of the year, 2808 02:48:24,240 --> 02:48:27,360 their backs up against the wall when Russia's massive army 2809 02:48:27,360 --> 02:48:30,660 invaded last year, the Ukrainians quickly realized 2810 02:48:30,660 --> 02:48:34,530 cheap air power could help keep them in the fight. First using 2811 02:48:34,530 --> 02:48:38,610 modified consumer drones now with more sophisticated UAVs 2812 02:48:38,640 --> 02:48:42,450 developed in Ukraine. What the government here calls the army 2813 02:48:42,450 --> 02:48:45,960 of drones project spearheaded by the Minister of digital 2814 02:48:45,960 --> 02:48:46,860 transformation. 2815 02:48:48,030 --> 02:48:50,820 This is a technological war and it's very important to 2816 02:48:50,820 --> 02:48:53,790 understand how technology is developing and what we as a 2817 02:48:53,790 --> 02:48:57,120 state can do to increase the number of drones. A certain 2818 02:48:57,120 --> 02:49:00,360 revolution is also taking place regarding production scaling, 2819 02:49:00,360 --> 02:49:01,170 but most people wonder 2820 02:49:02,040 --> 02:49:05,370 and while the Ukrainians still won't admit direct involvement, 2821 02:49:05,400 --> 02:49:08,850 the Russians do admit they are concerned they might soon see 2822 02:49:08,850 --> 02:49:11,400 more armed drones flying towards Moscow 2823 02:49:17,100 --> 02:49:19,170 Adam Curry: I think this is the offensive this is all they're 2824 02:49:19,170 --> 02:49:23,070 getting. So they're getting you have some drones with some nerds 2825 02:49:24,000 --> 02:49:24,660 go ahead we 2826 02:49:24,660 --> 02:49:28,080 John C Dvorak: have you know this this idea that this is an 2827 02:49:28,080 --> 02:49:33,870 even in Ukraine explains a lot. Okay, it explains the CNN 2828 02:49:33,870 --> 02:49:40,290 reporter being there Yeah. Out of the blue in Saltash. I don't 2829 02:49:40,290 --> 02:49:43,650 know who this guy is as you roaming around the front lines 2830 02:49:43,650 --> 02:49:44,040 name 2831 02:49:44,040 --> 02:49:49,950 Adam Curry: is he has a name isn't name. Fred. polite. Jen 2832 02:49:49,980 --> 02:49:55,110 Gen.

And we 2835 02:50:03,240 --> 02:50:07,260 don't know that these are results a scam I've smokescreen 2836 02:50:07,260 --> 02:50:12,570 for this drone training Oh, training. We do brought it up. 2837 02:50:12,720 --> 02:50:16,560 We had some we have people that know this. You need a huge 2838 02:50:16,560 --> 02:50:20,820 infrastructure you need lots of years of work. I mean, this is 2839 02:50:20,820 --> 02:50:24,240 not a minor plane, you just jump in and fly around. 2840 02:50:25,740 --> 02:50:29,400 Adam Curry: Fred ply chin German journalist and correspondent for 2841 02:50:29,400 --> 02:50:34,080 CNN International study at North American Studies, University of 2842 02:50:34,080 --> 02:50:39,120 Bonn and the Free University of Berlin. Also spent one year 2843 02:50:39,120 --> 02:50:41,310 studying at the School of Journalism in New at New York 2844 02:50:41,310 --> 02:50:45,030 University where I work for Zed de F and RTL was German 2845 02:50:45,030 --> 02:50:48,600 channels. He lives in Berlin. He's dishonors could be in 2846 02:50:48,600 --> 02:50:49,080 Berlin, in 2847 02:50:49,080 --> 02:50:50,430 John C Dvorak: Germany, too. For all we know. 2848 02:50:50,460 --> 02:50:51,690 Adam Curry: It could be Rammstein. 2849 02:50:53,640 --> 02:50:56,670 John C Dvorak: Just love saying Tom Stein. Yes, exactly. 2850 02:50:56,849 --> 02:51:01,439 Adam Curry: I'm Stein. Yes. But our tea of course, take it with 2851 02:51:01,439 --> 02:51:06,209 the with the grain of salt you want is claiming that Kyiv Kyiv 2852 02:51:06,929 --> 02:51:13,379 is now demanding from the US $55 billion worth of weapons. That's 2853 02:51:13,379 --> 02:51:18,929 their latest demand. That's what they want. Well, they're gonna 2854 02:51:18,989 --> 02:51:21,059 they're gonna get some drones, they're gonna get some little 2855 02:51:21,689 --> 02:51:27,269 drones that can carry a 20 to 100 pound payload. Which I think 2856 02:51:27,299 --> 02:51:30,989 I think it's very interesting. It's a new kind of warfare. You 2857 02:51:30,989 --> 02:51:33,179 shoot these drones off and lands in Russia? 2858 02:51:33,210 --> 02:51:36,150 John C Dvorak: Well, this was this was had to be predicted by 2859 02:51:36,360 --> 02:51:39,570 every science fiction writer for the last 30 years was it draws 2860 02:51:39,690 --> 02:51:42,810 Yes. starts showing up.

That was a 2865 02:51:56,609 --> 02:51:59,279 small drone to the small drones are interesting. 2866 02:52:00,360 --> 02:52:03,600 John C Dvorak: It's while you can take a small stake, strong 2867 02:52:03,600 --> 02:52:09,270 small drone a quadcopter. That lot of kids can fly and put a C 2868 02:52:09,270 --> 02:52:12,660 five charge on it. That thing is gonna be pretty, it's gonna be 2869 02:52:12,780 --> 02:52:16,200 gonna be fun. And what is a sci fi? You know, Nate 100 pounds. 2870 02:52:16,200 --> 02:52:16,290 You 2871 02:52:16,290 --> 02:52:19,260 Adam Curry: see five, is that more explosive than C four? 2872 02:52:21,120 --> 02:52:22,650 John C Dvorak: Oh, that's a good question. I think I meant C 2873 02:52:22,650 --> 02:52:22,980 four. 2874 02:52:25,140 --> 02:52:28,110 Adam Curry: C five, biopsy the Borak. Who put the five and C 2875 02:52:28,110 --> 02:52:32,490 four. I've added a number to it. But why? I don't know. It may be 2876 02:52:32,520 --> 02:52:36,120 entirely possible. It's more explosive than C four. 2877 02:52:36,810 --> 02:52:39,060 John C Dvorak: Anyway, so you can take it like a like a 2878 02:52:39,060 --> 02:52:43,170 fistful of C four. And put it on the head of one of these drones 2879 02:52:43,170 --> 02:52:49,800 with a with a blasting cap. Send it in boy, you blow up a 2880 02:52:49,800 --> 02:52:50,400 building. 2881 02:52:50,430 --> 02:52:55,560 Adam Curry: Yeah. I have a story that that has just not gotten 2882 02:52:55,560 --> 02:53:00,450 enough play. I don't know if we talked about it.

And so bear with the accent but it's a great 2885 02:53:10,320 --> 02:53:10,800 story. 2886 02:53:10,830 --> 02:53:13,260 Unknown: Well in Italy four people died was several others 2887 02:53:13,260 --> 02:53:17,400 were rescued in an ill fated boat capsized in Lake Missouri 2888 02:53:17,430 --> 02:53:20,970 on Sunday. Reports now emerging claim that there were Italian 2889 02:53:20,970 --> 02:53:24,600 and Israeli intelligence agents among those dead. And now 2890 02:53:24,600 --> 02:53:27,930 questions are being raised if there indeed was a cover up by 2891 02:53:27,930 --> 02:53:30,990 the authorities. Among the four dead was an Israeli national 2892 02:53:30,990 --> 02:53:33,720 whose identity was initially suppressed by officials until 2893 02:53:33,720 --> 02:53:38,160 now, Israeli foreign ministry has said that the victim error 2894 02:53:38,160 --> 02:53:42,240 is Shimoni aged 50 was retired member of the security forces. 2895 02:53:42,450 --> 02:53:46,290 Now it is being speculated that the operative could be working 2896 02:53:46,320 --> 02:53:50,370 on behalf of the Mossad, while Italy security service admitted 2897 02:53:50,370 --> 02:53:56,430 that the other victims, Claudia Ilona, Z, 862 and Tiziana but 2898 02:53:56,460 --> 02:54:00,210 nobody is 53 were employees.

The fourth person who died has been 2901 02:54:07,140 --> 02:54:10,350 identified as a Russian national reportedly the captain's wife, 2902 02:54:10,710 --> 02:54:14,880 and according to the Italian media, the yacht that capsized 2903 02:54:14,880 --> 02:54:18,720 was not a simple birthday cruise. But a cover up Intel 2904 02:54:18,720 --> 02:54:23,010 meeting reports claimed that 19 out of 23 people on board are 2905 02:54:23,010 --> 02:54:27,840 serving all past Israeli and Italian agents.

Now he 2951 02:57:12,030 --> 02:57:15,510 was a former minister and other ones government very much very 2952 02:57:15,510 --> 02:57:17,910 popular with international markets having worked for the 2953 02:57:17,910 --> 02:57:21,180 American bank, Merrill Lynch, so he was seen as very market 2954 02:57:21,180 --> 02:57:24,630 friendly now are the ones unorthodox economic policies 2955 02:57:24,630 --> 02:57:28,620 have plunged turkey into chaos inflation in high double digits 2956 02:57:28,620 --> 02:57:31,590 with his low interest rate policy. Now, many people have 2957 02:57:31,590 --> 02:57:33,780 warned that the number one priority for early one and his 2958 02:57:33,780 --> 02:57:37,560 number one threat is financial turmoil and possible collapse in 2959 02:57:37,560 --> 02:57:40,080 the currency appointment of Shem. Sheikh would be seen by 2960 02:57:40,080 --> 02:57:42,930 many as a sign that he is possibly going to change course. 2961 02:57:43,350 --> 02:57:46,080 But we will have to wait on stay on that. But there are also 2962 02:57:46,080 --> 02:57:49,830 further changes expected of a foreign minister is also widely 2963 02:57:49,830 --> 02:57:52,260 tied to replace and the interior ministry as well. So there's a 2964 02:57:52,260 --> 02:57:55,230 lot of expectation tonight on who the appointments will be. 2965 02:57:55,380 --> 02:57:57,960 Adam Curry: Yeah, whenever you bring in an American finance guy 2966 02:57:57,990 --> 02:58:02,250 into your to be your finance minister. I mean, not American, 2967 02:58:02,250 --> 02:58:06,180 but he worked at Merrill Lynch, he's market friendly. I agree 2968 02:58:06,180 --> 02:58:06,870 with anybody. 2969 02:58:08,280 --> 02:58:09,300 Unknown: He knows what he's doing. 2970 02:58:10,230 --> 02:58:14,610 Adam Curry: I've just I just have two more clips just about 2971 02:58:14,790 --> 02:58:20,580 finance. Since Turkey, yay is of course going to go into some 2972 02:58:20,580 --> 02:58:25,170 Doom scenario. They're already there. That might do things 2973 02:58:25,170 --> 02:58:28,050 might be happening in the United States, CNN, 2974 02:58:28,110 --> 02:58:29,820 Unknown: I want to bring in now CNN CHIEF business 2975 02:58:29,820 --> 02:58:33,330 correspondent, Christine. Good morning, Christine. This is part 2976 02:58:33,330 --> 02:58:35,760 of what we have been seeing right now. People have shifted 2977 02:58:35,760 --> 02:58:38,520 where they're spending. But people are also now calling for 2978 02:58:38,520 --> 02:58:40,950 perhaps a discretionary recession. 2979 02:58:41,039 --> 02:58:43,319 That's a new buzzword discretionary recession, it 2980 02:58:43,319 --> 02:58:45,629 doesn't mean that the US economy is in a recession, it means 2981 02:58:45,629 --> 02:58:48,209 consumers are being very careful. And they're focusing on 2982 02:58:48,419 --> 02:58:52,469 essentials. And then the must haves like Taylor Swift tickets 2983 02:58:52,499 --> 02:58:56,189 and airplane tickets and a trip to the Bahamas. I mean, people 2984 02:58:56,189 --> 02:59:00,119 are spending money on essentials at those big box stores. But 2985 02:59:00,119 --> 02:59:02,729 then outside of that, they're going out to eat more, they're 2986 02:59:02,729 --> 02:59:05,879 doing more traveling, and they're buying big experiences. 2987 02:59:05,939 --> 02:59:08,819 So they're calling this a discretionary recession, meaning 2988 02:59:08,849 --> 02:59:11,159 if you're selling couches, and you made a very good point, or 2989 02:59:11,489 --> 02:59:14,459 if you're selling couches or TVs or sporting goods, you already 2990 02:59:14,459 --> 02:59:16,589 loaded up on all of that over the past couple of years now, 2991 02:59:16,589 --> 02:59:19,859 right and experiences are going for so it's a different moment 2992 02:59:19,859 --> 02:59:20,789 for the American consumer 2993 02:59:21,000 --> 02:59:24,300 Adam Curry: discretionary recession. That's, you know, we 2994 02:59:24,300 --> 02:59:29,010 had our transitory inflation now we have a discretionary 2995 02:59:29,010 --> 02:59:33,990 recession. Ah, and then ABC tops it off with a warning. 2996 02:59:34,019 --> 02:59:36,539 Unknown: Okay, we have a warning for you this morning about your 2997 02:59:36,539 --> 02:59:39,269 money. A federal consumer watchdog says you should not 2998 02:59:39,269 --> 02:59:43,439 store your cash on payment apps like Venmo Cash App or PayPal. 2999 02:59:43,469 --> 02:59:46,979 The reason is because of those apps fail your funds are not 3000 02:59:46,979 --> 02:59:49,319 automatically insured and they can be lost. 3001 02:59:51,000 --> 02:59:53,400 Adam Curry: Oh, what kind of warning is that? What's coming? 3002 02:59:53,400 --> 02:59:58,860 What's gonna happen? I'm excited. Something good. That 3003 02:59:58,860 --> 03:00:03,210 was weird. Huh, yeah, it was very weird. Well, maybe it's 3004 03:00:03,210 --> 03:00:06,060 because they're, you know, the the Fed now kicks off in July 3005 03:00:06,090 --> 03:00:11,910 with so you can now get your Federal Reserve Wallet. So we're 3006 03:00:11,910 --> 03:00:15,990 not now but in July, if this is competition this I think it's a 3007 03:00:15,990 --> 03:00:20,010 setup. It's like Oh, yeah. Should I listen to it? No, no, 3008 03:00:20,010 --> 03:00:22,380 it's they're going to launch it. It's not a central bank digital 3009 03:00:22,380 --> 03:00:24,660 currency, but they're gonna launch fed now. And you'll be 3010 03:00:24,660 --> 03:00:27,180 able to get your wallet and what they're saying in advance. Well, 3011 03:00:27,180 --> 03:00:30,150 you know, if you use your digital money with cash app, 3012 03:00:30,150 --> 03:00:33,390 Venmo or PayPal, you know, those companies go out of business, 3013 03:00:33,390 --> 03:00:39,030 then you could lose all your money, but with fed now this 3014 03:00:39,030 --> 03:00:43,050 safe, it's safe. That's what I think it is. 3015 03:00:45,780 --> 03:00:48,030 John C Dvorak: Well, they're scumbags. If they try that pull 3016 03:00:48,030 --> 03:00:53,610 that kind of marketing. I have one clip that would be good to 3017 03:00:53,610 --> 03:00:53,790 get 3018 03:00:54,240 --> 03:00:56,640 Adam Curry: scumbags and finance. Oh, no. 3019 03:00:57,750 --> 03:01:02,520 John C Dvorak: Nick say it's not so. Thank you. All right. I just 3020 03:01:02,520 --> 03:01:07,050 found this 100 Biden gun story to be one of the great ironies 3021 03:01:07,080 --> 03:01:12,570 of I've ever heard in my life, do that thinking of busting him 3022 03:01:12,570 --> 03:01:17,160 for lying on his form? Because he was he was two things. One, I 3023 03:01:17,160 --> 03:01:22,560 learned that he was using a smoking crack every 15 minutes. 3024 03:01:22,800 --> 03:01:25,830 It's what you do. I wouldn't know. 3025 03:01:25,980 --> 03:01:27,480 Adam Curry: What's the other thing? Oh, here we go. What's 3026 03:01:27,480 --> 03:01:28,440 the other thing you learned? 3027 03:01:28,920 --> 03:01:30,690 John C Dvorak: Well, the other thing I learned is that they're 3028 03:01:31,230 --> 03:01:36,180 hypocrites that are going to defend him are going to use the 3029 03:01:36,360 --> 03:01:39,810 conservative Supreme Court decisions and the second 3030 03:01:39,810 --> 03:01:41,580 amendment to get away with it. 3031 03:01:41,670 --> 03:01:44,070 Unknown: The President son Hunter Biden could face legal 3032 03:01:44,070 --> 03:01:47,910 consequences for a gun purchase, but his lawyers say that they 3033 03:01:47,910 --> 03:01:50,910 would challenge that under the Second Amendment. Because Hunter 3034 03:01:50,910 --> 03:01:54,420 Biden said he was using drugs at the time the Justice Department 3035 03:01:54,450 --> 03:01:57,960 may prosecute him for a gun purchase. When he purchased the 3036 03:01:57,960 --> 03:02:02,520 gun and 2018 He filled out a form and denied drug use. But in 3037 03:02:02,520 --> 03:02:06,540 his memoir, he says he was smoking crack every 15 minutes. 3038 03:02:07,290 --> 03:02:11,130 And 1868 Law denies drug users the right to own guns, Hunter 3039 03:02:11,130 --> 03:02:15,090 Biden could face up to 15 years in prison over this. But his 3040 03:02:15,090 --> 03:02:17,790 lawyers could choose to challenge any charges by taking 3041 03:02:17,790 --> 03:02:20,820 advantage of a recent Supreme Court decision that brought him 3042 03:02:20,820 --> 03:02:24,030 to gun rights. The case dealt with gun laws in New York that 3043 03:02:24,030 --> 03:02:27,630 justices decided were too restrictive. President Biden at 3044 03:02:27,630 --> 03:02:29,880 the time said he was against the ruling. 3045 03:02:31,740 --> 03:02:34,710 Adam Curry: Rules for the a great yeah rules for the but not 3046 03:02:34,710 --> 03:02:39,390 for me, I think is what you're supposed to say. Well, well, 3047 03:02:39,390 --> 03:02:42,630 everybody. Would you please consider supporting the no 3048 03:02:42,630 --> 03:02:46,410 agenda show with some treasure?
