Adam Curry: Good news sucks. Adam curry Jhansi Dvorak
Thursday May 23 2020 for this year award winning give our
nation media assassination episode 1616
Unknown: This is no agenda
Adam Curry: going trends Mao is man broadcasting live from the
heart of the country here and FEMA Region number six. Morning
everybody I'm Adam curry and
John C Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all
worried about the TS MC Kill Switch I'm Jessie
Adam Curry: kill the TSMC at work he'll fridge
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I was reading about this this morning
actually.
Adam Curry: Is this the thing on cars?
John C Dvorak: No, no, it's this is the the Taiwan semiconductor
manufacturing company who makes 90% go Yeah. How did this
happen? How did this happen? 90% of all the high end chips are
made in Taiwan. And that and the company that provides most of
the gear is again How did this happen? Located in Holland?
Yeah. ASML ASML that well, they make
Adam Curry: photography don't they make the Lithgow they
John C Dvorak: make the altra UVC. Yes. Yeah. Nobody else
seems to be able to do
Adam Curry: Yeah, I know. Go Dutch. And
John C Dvorak: so the Dutch a lot of people go Dutch so they
they have it was unknown to me but they have a kill switch.
This
Adam Curry: I did not and all their gear. The Dutch have a
kill switch.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. And so they if China takes over the island,
all that gear that said TSMC will remotely be ruined. Just
with real it's just Yeah. Isn't that interesting?
Adam Curry: Where did you hear this from?
John C Dvorak: It was in the trades. I read it in the
Adam Curry: trade. Billboard which which trade?
John C Dvorak: industry trade manufacturing news,
Adam Curry: Hollywood Reporter huh? Well, I know that the Dutch
that was a big focus, because the Dutch government told ASML
like, Hey, you guys, you know you can't x if we say you can't
export you can't export to certain countries like China and
Russia. Yeah, exactly. And and the company was like, well,
who's in charge here? And the government went yeah, you but
the so they have a kill switch on all the gear because they
exported the actual gear, right. The
John C Dvorak: gear? Yes. We export the gear and then Taiwan
has probably the lion's share of it. And there's a backdoor I
guess they can just remotely over the internet killed the
gear. I think it's the contract that shouldn't shy
Adam Curry: away. Then the Taiwan should disconnect their
gear from the internet. Hello,
John C Dvorak: I'm sure it's part of the contract. They have
the gear in the first place so you can be sure it's in there.
Adam Curry: I mean, everything has a kill switch these days.
You know the cars have kill switches. It's a kill switch
bonanza. Did you know they have a new president in in Taiwan?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this dude, he's a pro independence guy.
Unknown: Here's the guy. New precedent fly Ching tear
inherits not just the office, but the intricate web of
challenges that comes with it. Yes at home. He faces a
fractured parliament, with no party holding a majority.
Internationally, he faces significant challenges, even
though he has offered to meet Xi Jinping for talks. It's also
pledged to defend the island saying it's only the people who
can decide to Taiwan's future, Beijing has repeatedly labeled
him a dangerous separatist military, from China remains fit
presents. Even why Ally has been preparing for Office. Beijing
has been ramping up drills in the region as both a reminder of
their military might and political intentions. You see
Adam Curry: those guys? I love it when they when they fight in
Parliament. They knock on each other in the head that throwing
them off chairs, dragging them on the floor. All we get is the
John C Dvorak: Taiwanese Parliament uses like a bloodbath
is great
Adam Curry: and all we get is baby girl your eyelash hauls we
get like what it was what is that version? Now those guys are
do it for real and bam. knock you out saga. By the way,
where'd this guy go to school? This Taiwanese president where
Harvard? The course he's a stooge. He's one of our students
John C Dvorak: because he is he's one of our stooges do quiz
and
Adam Curry: I will we're waiting for Georgia to implode. I'm sure
we've got stooges all over that place, as in Georgia as in the
country. Well,
John C Dvorak: that's been amazing. Now we have today
there's the big meeting between Biden and the guy who runs
Kenya. Yeah, Ruto and this is like ridiculous like this is the
best we can do is Kenya, Kenya, Kenya, whatever how you want to
pronounce
Adam Curry: Kenya have anything of value for us. But
John C Dvorak: it must but I think it's strategic more than
anything right in the middle there. I went I was in Kenya.
Oh, here
Adam Curry: we go. Here we go everybody drink
John C Dvorak: this is like this is this country's is a nightmare
and and so we were headed to South Africa, the family and
we're going to South Africa for a meeting and we had a stopover
Adam Curry: for a meeting of the ICC and what what does that
family do
John C Dvorak: for our family meeting? So we're we stop in
Kenya and we're at the airport waiting. And a couple of things
happen. One is I had a this was a while ago, so I had these
cassettes to listen to and those were stolen, which I made a fuss
about and I got him back. Ah, stop.
Adam Curry: Stop, stop, stop, stop. Now were these your disco
cassettes who stole them? What happened?
John C Dvorak: They disappeared from the overhead. We were out
of the plane for a minute for some reason. And we're in the
airport and they got stolen and I made a huge fuss about this
and I got them back. And the guest says you shouldn't leave
anything in a when you take these breaks into Africa because
that's like a year's salary for somebody one audio cassette. I
said okay. But the thing that part of the reason for this
story as you go you're sick. We're sitting in the airport
lounge waiting for the to get back on the plane. And the
Kenyan army foreign army guys are in there shaking down
passengers and robbing them one after the other. Wow. In the
airport.
Adam Curry: How did they shake you down for your best event
ever
John C Dvorak: got to us before we got back on the plane. You
know, my make eye contact was so low kids. They were literally
stealing people's money at the airport, the Kenyan army. I said
this is a terrible country. Wow. And I was glad to get out of
there. But this was probably a while ago. It was 30 years ago.
Yeah. Okay. Oh, it's changed.
Adam Curry: I think here the place is great. Now. It's
changed. It's really shaped up a lot is groovy now. Yes. All
right. So so that is Biden's big. Foreign Policy Kenya.
John C Dvorak: Yes. I do have a clip on this. I might. Kenya
Adam Curry: who has Kenya. Oh, yes, you do. Oh, let's let's
chase away the audience right at the top of the show. Good one
was
John C Dvorak: it's taking place here in the US of A so let's see
what happens. The Biden
Unknown: administration is rolling out the red carpet for
Kenya's president. Who's beginning a three day state
visit to Washington. NPRs Michele Kelemen reports.
Relations
with Kenya have gone from a regional partnership to a global
one. According to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
This
is the first state visit by an African Head of State in nearly
20 years. It is long overdue.
He says President Biden and Kenyan President William Ruto
will announce new partnerships and emerging technologies and
more on security cooperation. That includes in Haiti, where
the US will be offering logistics, to a Kenyan led
international force. The long overdue mission is meant to
stabilize Haiti now wracked by gang violence.
Adam Curry: It's about barbecue. I see. By the way, I don't think
that's true. There was first in 20 years, there was a huge
African contingent I remember this maybe 10 years ago.
Remember that all with all kinds of African heads of state? heads
on sticks.
John C Dvorak: The best you can do is 15 years ago, somebody
came over and said, Hello. So this is about Kenya is going to
be bringing army over to take care of Haiti. Yeah, but the way
they put it Oh, yeah. For for a technology with a kid.
Adam Curry: Yeah, foam finger number one. Hello. Hello, Haiti.
We're coming. We're coming for our elites have wanted Haiti so
bad for so long. You know, let's face it, the Clinton Foundation
messed it up. They were supposed to have control of it. And then
somehow that slipped through their fingers after they, after
they got the gold contracts and took all the children. We
haven't forgotten. I
John C Dvorak: mean, that potential for casinos,
especially in the north part of the island. Carnival Cruise was
beautiful plants. It's
Adam Curry: an obvious place. If it wasn't for the
John C Dvorak: damn Haitians. Yeah, barbecue. Annoying.
Adam Curry: Well, let's get to the big news of the day. This
was without a doubt the big news big, big, big, big news. We're
Unknown: learning more about the severe turbulence on a passenger
plane from London to Asia. One man was killed and images show
just how chaotic things got inside that cabin. And we are
now hearing from the airlines CEO ABCs Christiane Cordero has
more on this Christiane Good morning,
Rhiannon Good morning to you this kind of turbulence has been
on the rise experts say one factor, maybe climate change.
Adam Curry: Climate change now I love these reports because
John C Dvorak: yeah cuz true by the way Tribulus has never
happened before climate change.
Adam Curry: I'm going to give you a whole I got a whole report
I got a whole rundown on this because I'm tired of this
nonsense. And by the way, one man was killed. He died of a
heart attack it said, but he died of a heart attack. He
wasn't killed. It was not a pretty scene. Absolutely. Which
is a reminder. How many times do we have to see it just like we
do up here in the cockpit. When you're in your seat, keep your
seatbelt buckled. Don't think that you've got a free ride
here. Keep your seatbelt buckled. It's that simple. A
Unknown: Singapore Airlines flight with us as Reuters, by
the way hit but severe turbulence and Tuesday, flinging
passengers and crew around the cabin and forcing the plane to
make an emergency landing in Bangkok. dozens were injured.
One died of a suspected heart attack suspected what happened
what happened it appears that the flights entered an air
pocket. There are also reports that there were some storms
nearby
Adam Curry: some of the turbulence so this is kind of
where I caught my attention like Oh, because they're talking wind
shear clear air turbulence, climate change. And then there's
this little report that everyone kept repeating over and over and
over Reuters again,
Unknown: climate change be making air turbulence more
common and severe. The death of one passenger and injuries to
others on a Singapore Airlines flight has underlined the
potential dangers of severe turbulence in particular.
Airline ratings editor in chief Geoffrey Thomas turbulence is
becoming
Adam Curry: more prevalent as climate changes. And the
university's research in the United Kingdom has shown that
over the last 40 years, severe turbulence has increased by
55% 55 55%. Oh no, this climate change must be stopped. What is
it doing NBC breaking
Unknown: this morning after that dramatic turbulence onboard
Singapore Airlines flight 321, the airline's CEO is speaking
out. We're deeply saddened by this incident, that extreme
turbulence wreaks havoc inside the plane, injuring dozens of
passengers and flight attendants. Some critically so
called clear air turbulence, often appearing close to the jet
stream is very difficult to predict. And researchers say
climate change has made wind shear much stronger. Yes.
Adam Curry: And so now we're not sure was it clear air
turbulence? Were they in a storm? Is it wind shear? Maybe
the CBC can help us out? Paul
Unknown: Williams is an atmospheric scientist at Reading
University in England. Are we seeing an increase in
turbulence?
I think so. This started out as a theory we had about 10 years
ago, we were running atmospheric simulations, computer
simulations of the future.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Now standby, because we got some
modeling going on here.
Unknown: And they were indicating that the amount of
severe clear air turbulence was going to double or treble in the
next few decades, because of climate change. And more
recently, last year, we published a study that confirmed
that, in fact, those increases have already begun.
Adam Curry: I love how they published a study that confirms
that we looked back at historical data. That's No, no
actual evidence. There's no actual evidence, they just
published a study that confirmed it
Unknown: confirmed that, in fact, those increases have
already begun, looked back at historic data, going back to
1979, which is when satellites first began observing the jet
stream. And when we crunched those numbers, we found that
rather than 1979 to the present day, there has already been a
55% increase in the amount of severe turbulence. So I think
those increases from climate change have already begun and
are only set to continue into the future if the climate
continues to change as we expect it to.
Adam Curry: So this is your pet peeve. Your pet peeve is 55%. Of
what? So exactly sounds very severe this 55% Oh my god, we're
all going to die. Luckily, CBC kept this guy on the phone, or
on the Skype on the zoom for about 12 minutes. If you didn't
fall asleep. By the end, he lets us know what's really going on.
Unknown: severe turbulence is rare, and it even will remain
rare. If it doubles or triples. Something like 1/10 of 1% of the
atmosphere at fly cruising levels has to be a turbulence in
it. So you take naught point 1% and double it or triple it. It's
still only point two or point 3% of the chance of your flight
hitting that little tiny part of the atmosphere is really is
really tiny, just keep your seatbelt fastened, and then try
and have a nice flight. So
Adam Curry: 0.1% of the air is has severe turbulence. But
because it's 55% increase, it's only like 0.2% now. So there's
not that much to be afraid of, especially if you realize that
this was not clear air turbulence. This is what it was
Unknown: the Boeing triple seven was flying from London to
Singapore, when it hits sudden turbulence on the edge of a
powerful storm, flight radar 24 data shows the plane suddenly
pushed up and down, like a violent wave at 37,000 feet,
then a controlled emergency descent to 31,000 feet and an
emergency landing, they
Adam Curry: were flying over the ITC z which every big, heavy
aircraft pilot knows is the intertropical convergence zone.
This is where this is right by the equator. This is where you
get these two jet streams converging. This is where
particularly July January, you get big storms. And that's what
they flew into. This has nothing to do with clear air turbulence
from climate change. It's nonsense. It's not fun and fun
if you're in the in the plane. But this is big scare tactics.
And once again, hype climate change. And I spent several days
this week putting together our Sunday special, which will be a
climate change special.
John C Dvorak: And this would be the second time we've done it
climate change special I'd like people to compare it to the old
one. Well,
Adam Curry: buted climate change clips. And I did us reading and
talking about climate change, almost it'll be different won't
exactly almost no clips. So because of Cirque de nonnamous
being it.io. If you haven't seen being adata, you can search
every single episode of the no agenda show. Going back to the
first episode. When you see the transcript, you can highlight a
piece of the transcript, click the Clip button and it creates
an embeddable clip actually creates an embeddable clip with
a video with with the captions. And with the show art, it's
really phenomenal what he's done.
John C Dvorak: It's phenomena it is actually good debt, which is
why I'm sending you more show notes now knowing that I'll go
into this database. So yeah, I
Adam Curry: just fun to do. So. I started episode one, we
actually the first episode we talked about, and I only only
search for global warming, I didn't search for climate
change, because it was global warming. We're talking almost 17
years ago, you could
John C Dvorak: do another five hours using searching for
climate change. I didn't
Adam Curry: get past episode 100. And I had the show done.
John C Dvorak: And yeah, and what I did the same thing with
the clips and what didn't get very far. And
Adam Curry: what's surprising is that the elements are always the
same. Banning meat vaccinations, because we also had another bird
flu, swine flu, trusting the science, if you recall. And I'd
forgotten this, that the university that had all the base
climate data, do you remember that they lost all the data
because they didn't have enough hard drives, and then the data
got corrupted, and they lost it. So the actual Glee the actual
basis data that all this nonsense is built upon has been
lost at stake. Similar, similar to the moon landing recordings,
oops. And then something one other thing that is very, it
just keeps coming back. It's the same elements over and over
again. Huge element and no meat, no meat, by the way. There was
no talk of burps, it was all cow farts. Sheep farts was
John C Dvorak: another big Good point. Yep, you're right. I
remember that period where it was called farts. It was no cow.
Now it's cow burping.
Adam Curry: That was sheep farts. You don't hear about that
anymore. The sheep farts when you remember that? Yeah, it was
like 12% of, of New Zealand's climate change or global warming
came from sheep farts. So they made up all kinds of stuff. But
I pulled a clip as a teaser. And this is a discovery that you
made on the show. We're going back to Episode 93 from 2000.
What, what are you making that sound for? Because
John C Dvorak: 93 That's, that's in the dark ages. But that was
the show. But that's
Adam Curry: what's so cool is because this, this is how long
we've been tracking this nonsense. And we've been
delivering this as a public service to people. And this one
I had forgotten about and it's something that you picked up on.
We're going back to Episode 93 2000 Here we go. You'll be
amazed by this
John C Dvorak: New Zealand interview UVC this week, they
had a complete documentary on power shift. oh nine. Oh, nice.
Now power shift.org People can go out there and check it out.
It's a green activists and essentially the government has
taken over this this particular conference and they loaded it up
with Obama people. The keynoter was the EPA woman, Paul Podesta,
the one of the staffers that one of the major staffers, you know,
Podesta
Adam Curry: before we knew about Podesta, it's
John C Dvorak: one of these other guys was gonna look like
the organizer from the way they had this thing. structured the
way they did the, the, the show this documentary, Bill Clinton
was there, there's everybody was loaded up there was loaded up
with these guys. And here's what I'm watching this thing
thinking, wow, this is just another then they got all these
kids. It's a bunch of young people. And they get them all
pumped up with you know, this green, green, green, green green
stuff and you know, global warming. And so then they jumped
to showing some of the behind the scenes seminars, you know,
they don't always have the breakouts. No, of course. So the
breakouts are training to kids on civil disobedience, resisting
arrest, how to do sit in spot properly, how to lock arms for
how to do passive resistance. Wait a minute, let me get this
straight. And I want to be an anybody who happens to be one of
those people. I like to ask a question, since when do does the
government train the youth to do these sorts of things? That the
first thing I thought it was either Nazi youth or the Young
Communist Party, this is training the youth.
Adam Curry: So I'll bet you a lot of those trainees from 15
years ago are now in schools teaching the next generation
this same nonsense. Yep. In fact, we got a boots on the
ground from New Jersey from Chris, he says, and his his
daughter, he has two children in the system. He says my oldest
daughter was in grade school. She's now a sophomore in
college, but they started with the propaganda. Even before the
school year started, they would gather all the parents and go
over the topics they'll be covering. And over the ensuing
years, my daughter would come home and report on the nonsense
they'd be pushing. In fact, they showed the here when my daughter
was in the sixth grade, she came home to let me know she had
upset the science teacher who was on her soapbox about how
we're killing polar bears. And of course, this is a no agenda,
she
John C Dvorak: will mention there's more polar bears than
ever exactly, and
Adam Curry: then forced the class to watch a YouTube video
titled something about the lone polar bear in the tundra,
starving to death because of climate change. But the video
shows an emancipated emaciated bear walking back and forth in
the snow while the teacher explained the video was shot in
the deep Arctic wilderness. It was indicative of what all the
bears looked at. But by the end of the video, my daughter raised
her hand and said, Hey, if the video was shot on the tundra,
then why is there a wall and two garbage cans at the edge of the
frame? I soon received a call from the teacher who didn't
appreciate being contradicted. I mean, this is horrible what
they're doing to our children. And I was listening to an
interview of John Daniel Davidson. He's a senior editor
at The Federalist I guess he's he's been writing for Wall
Street Journal, and, you know, all kinds of mainstream
publications for 20 years, and he came out with a book called a
pagan America and the decline of Christianity and the dark age to
come. And I just had to share some of his thinking on the
topic, please give
Unknown: us some examples of how this is breaking down and how
pagan is paganistic elements are being introduced to these big
companies like Google and I've seen different things taking
place like this with Yeah,
you start with this. I mean, some of that is is is the
obvious stuff, climate changes and environmentalism as as a
modern form of, of nature, worship, corporate culture and
corporate America shot through with this stuff. Now, the way
mains our mainstream society talks about climate change, and
environmentalism is fundamentally religious because
because of the importance that they place on it, right? We you
have people saying, You, you, you shouldn't have children. You
shouldn't we shouldn't form families, arguing for policies
that will bring absolute misery and ruination to
Adam Curry: as good as
Unknown: people are comfortable kind of talking about policies
that will result in the deaths of millions and millions of
people, famine and starvation. For the sake of what I would
argue is a religious idea, right that we that we owe you The
Earth something and we need to sacrifice ourselves to Gaia, we
need to sacrifice our human flourishing to this other being
which is the earth. So, and this is where it gets tricky because
these people are not going to say I worship the earth. I am a
devotee of Gaia.
Adam Curry: So I'm like, Yeah, that makes sense, you'll follow
the science and we have to save the Earth admits it's replacing
it's a religion for people who are all in on this going back
decades, that's just witnessed in our religion,
John C Dvorak: we've talked about it being a religion, but
then he goes on a property as much as anyone but
Adam Curry: then he goes one step further.
Unknown: So we have we have environmentalism or climate
changes, as as a modern form of, of pagan religion, we have
transgenderism, which is a, a modern form of paganism or devil
worship throughout pagan cultures of the past, this
notion of, of changing sexes or gender bending has been a
feature of various pagan deities in various cultures, throughout
human history. And it's remarkably consistent. The idea
that, that a pagan deity could do this in and of itself and do
it to other people, is has always been associated with
certain date deities, right. So again, are transgender activists
going to say like, going to come out and say, I'm a devotee of
you know, this Persian goddess or or of this, you know,
Mesopotamian God, probably not, most of them are not going to,
but they will functionally be engaged in very old practices
that are pagan fundamentally. But more broadly, as I mentioned
earlier, transgenderism is really a kind of a subset of
transhumanism, which posits that, that we can create
ourselves and we can we can become like gods, that we are
Gods, that that we are not limited by reality, or by
biological reality. Men can become women, women can become
in or we can become neither. And that we are, we have that power,
as of a deity.
Adam Curry: Okay, so I'm following him there, but the
transhumanism part, I was like, oh, yeah, we kind of forgot I
forgot about that about oh, yeah, it's all part of the
transhumanist agenda, and the neural link and all this stuff,
and then he winds up with this one. And
Unknown: where I think that is headed, and where I argue at the
end of the book, when I talk about artificial intelligence,
in the trans transhumanist movement, you know, because
always because because what starts with self worship always
ends up projecting out to something else. So the
transhumanist movement is not going to end with with just
saying, We're all gods and we can, we can determine what we
want to be because we are deities, there's going to be an
external object that ends up ends up becoming the object of
worship. And in the case of transhumanism, it's going to be
artificial intelligence. And you can already see the ways that
this is taking shape, the most, the most vocal and prominent
transhumanists have already come out and all that all that said
in their words, and especially in their actions, we need to
turn over decisions about our lives, to these AI algorithms
that will tell us what to do and will tell us how to be happy and
will enable us to live forever.
Adam Curry: And I gotta tell you the amount of times that I've
heard some tech weasel talk about that how AI of like, Elon
Musk, go, no AI is going to create a god. I've heard Joe
Rogan say, oh, you know, AI, we just need AI that tells us what
to do. And then you look at the Viva tech conference in France,
this which is going on right now, Viva tech. And there it is.
That's
Unknown: France positions itself as the top innovator in the
artificial intelligence space. Europe's biggest startup events,
Viva technology opened its doors in the French capital. This
year. AI is everywhere, everywhere. Events. eighth
edition aims to show off the depth of AI's capabilities, from
sorting waste, to cancer detection, and tackle key
questions about its impact across industries like climate
change, and upcoming elections.
Adam Curry: So AI will take care of climate change will take care
of medicine and the upcoming elections. But luckily,
Unknown: in terms of journalism, however, French media group has
told France 24 the industry isn't at risk. A lot of
preparations will be made.
John C Dvorak: Don't worry, it's the only thing that is at risk.
Adam Curry: No, it's the best. A lot
Unknown: of preparations will be made easier and quicker by AI.
And we know that you know, you can have a synthesis of millions
of pages and a very quick thing, then comes the human difference.
I'm a very, very strong really In the fact that AI will not
replace those guys of course, luckily not you will not be
replaced by an AI because what you know what you can do AI
today doesn't know how to do it. AI
is also revolutionizing the job markets through consultancy firm
PwC found that roles integrating AI skills carry up to a 25% wage
premium as well as having nearly five times the rate of
productivity growth and easing repetition for employees.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's right everyone get a job and AI kids
kids don't become a plumber. Oh, become a prompt jockey. That's
the way to go. It's gonna be great. Bill I
John C Dvorak: have a clips oh please give me some AR
Adam Curry: clips.
John C Dvorak: And the reason these are interesting now is
because of the clip you played earlier about the climate change
made up that was taken over by the US government with Podesta
and everybody else in between the Clintons because it seems as
though this big AI meet up which just took place in South Korea
it's been same thing it's like the US government's now like
moved in for an or what they're up to of course, well, if
Adam Curry: we think about what Davidson said, you know, we give
people a I give them their their something to worship and the AI
tells them what to do, but let's make sure that we control what
it says.
John C Dvorak: Well, that would be one definite possibility.
Let's go with AI meeting in Korea one.
Unknown: Many of the world's leading tech companies met in
Seoul, South Korea this week, and they joined an international
agreement on AI safety. Several governments led by the US also
agreed to set up a new global AI safety network. So will these
voluntary agreements actually keep AI safe? Commerce Secretary
Gina Raimondo is leading the Biden administration's effort on
the issue. Welcome back to all things considered.
Thank you, Ira Good to be with you.
Giving us a concrete example of the sort of AI risk you believe
these new agreements will help us avoid, are we talking about
misinformation or invasive surveillance or what I
would take both and then some misinformation deep fake. Some
of these models are so sophisticated that if they're
not properly tested, before they're released, they can do
things that the developers didn't even think they were
capable of. Oh, Lord.
John C Dvorak: Okay, so here's a woman who doesn't know anything
about tech, or computers or any issues. It's not a scientist.
She's got She's the head of the congressmen she's a stooge. So
she's,
Adam Curry: she's like, generally on the Love Boat, she
leaves the delegation. Come on, everybody. She's got the
umbrella. Come on, everybody. Yep, it's time to drink.
John C Dvorak: So we know this is a fiasco. You got to test
that you got to test it to make sure it won't do this or that?
Well, you can't. That's bull crap. The whole idea of AI is
that is kind of a you know, freewheeling. So how do you test
that? You do test it by just really? You have to be you said
test before release? No, the only way you can test it is by
releasing it. You know, let the let the weenies at it, you know
that they start doing using it for all kinds of nefarious
purposes,
Adam Curry: comedy. So far, comedy is the comedy is great.
Comedy is art. Yeah, and creating songs and bad songs. As
some transcription does transcription, okay. Now, but
that's
John C Dvorak: do it well.
Unknown: Yes. You heard about hallucinations are the models
doing things that weren't predicted? So one of the things
we'll be doing is testing all of the most sophisticated model
before they're released to the public for you. They're gonna
Adam Curry: have a lab and have an AI Lab. They're in the
commerce zone. Good
John C Dvorak: question. And by the way, I didn't notice that
before that you're playing this clip. She does talk a little bit
like, well, I can't quite break through by though is this
possibly some powder going around? Might be imbibing
everybody follow the rails
Unknown: so that we can be sure that they do what they're
intended to do. But it's Pandora's
box already open. I mean, we've already seen deep fakes that use
politicians voices, I
would say yes. And now I mean, certainly the technology is out
there. And we've already started to see some disturbing
incidences where as you just said, you know, there's deep
fakes that's out there and misinformation. The exciting
thing here, it's easy to get bogged down and how it could go
poorly. There's also life changing life giving
possibilities that AI can bring to the world Name
Adam Curry: one. Name one life, you
John C Dvorak: beat me to the punch line. Sorry,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Name one life chain. Enjoying life giving
life giving this, this is your this is your worship, it gives
me life. I love my AI and I love my truck.
John C Dvorak: Okay, three, bringing
Unknown: the doctor to everybody that has a phone, you know, huge
opportunity for education. So I think the whole point of it is,
let's do our best to work with like minded countries that
believe in democracy that are that opposed civil rights
abuses. And say, let's put a lid on the risks, so that we can let
all of the exciting opportunities develop. You
say, let's work with like minded countries. China is a notable
outlier. As I understand it, Chinese delegates have attended
these international summits. But the government of China is not
part of a global AI safety network that the US has led with
other governments, China exports, its AI technology to
many other countries around the world. So how effective are
these guardrails gonna be if China and its allies don't agree
to them?
Ultimately, we want as many countries to participate as
possible for exactly the reason that you just said,
Adam Curry: you know, the more Wait,
John C Dvorak: what reason that he just said, trying we went all
countries to participate? Yeah, exactly the reasons you said all
he said was they're not participating.
Adam Curry: Because that's everyone against China, the more
I think of it through the lens of let's all worship the AI, the
more this makes sense, I someone has figured it out, like, Hey,
as long as we're pulling the strings, as long as we control
in our lab, as long as we make sure that whatever comes out of
the AI is what we want it to be. I think this Yes, I think they
see
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the message you want AI to deliver is
Democrat precisely what it is. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Vote Joe. Joe.
John C Dvorak: That's just a wrapping clip, which just makes
the whole thing and I roller,
Unknown: we're talking about three distinct but related
agreements here. There's the private companies that have
reached a set of standards. There's this international
safety coalition. And then there is the federal government
setting up its own AI Safety Institute under your Department
of Commerce. The press release says it will do things like
advance support and articulate principles around AI safety. It
does not say in force. Does this institute that you're leading
have any power to prevent AI companies from doing things that
experts believe would be harmful? Ultimately,
Congress needs to act.
John C Dvorak: In other words, no, no. Well, this
Adam Curry: fits in perfectly with this urgent, urgent
warning.
Unknown: We live in a world where artificial intelligence
can create video pictures and documents that look stunningly
authentic. Now the Department of Homeland Security is warning AI
will likely be used against us in the upcoming election.
This isn't a threat of tomorrow. This is a threat of today.
According today
homeland security bulletin. In Me countries terrorists and
other adversaries could exploit AI tools confused or overwhelmed
voters and election staff to disrupt their duties during the
2024 election cycle. So
Adam Curry: I'm sitting here going alright, what exactly is
AI going to do besides make nudie pictures of Taylor Swift
or something else? That's funny that is obviously not real while
Biden pooping but what's going to confuse us
Unknown: for example, according to the DHS bulletin, enemies
might use AI to share altered images, videos or audio clips
claiming that a polling station is closed or that polling times
have changed who and
what do you need AI for?
Adam Curry: Thank you. Thank you. What you don't need I mean,
the guy went to jail for doing just that as a as a as a goof.
up Twitter he put up a you know, like a Hillary's sign we did.
We're done with the GIMP. And if you use Photoshop, you don't
need AI for that. But okay, so bulletin points to
Unknown: this audio know
the value of voting democratic on our votes count. It's
important that you save your vote for the November election,
which is 30 suspect it's an AI generated message.
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second.
Adam Curry: I love when you get riled up.
John C Dvorak: They suspect wanted somebody just asked Biden
at the press Carrasco kJP at the press conference
Adam Curry: who are said authorities. authority.
Authority weak
John C Dvorak: report. Where'd you get this?
Adam Curry: This is? I think this is NBC. NBC, it's an AI
just pour out well, hello. Message
Unknown: sounding like President Biden which urged people not to
vote in the lead up to the New Hampshire primary in January,
which I
Adam Curry: didn't hear in that clip, by the way, but I didn't
hear him say that but okay. And DHS
Unknown: officials also expressing concern that AI
technology might be used to create and push out dangerous
information that could help extremists design The violent
attacks
Adam Curry: okay, no examples. No reason why it needs to be aI
extremists just attack need AI. Oh Muhammad, we need some AI
being racist here but AI right away and why am I an Indian guy
all of a sudden, whatever it is terrorists
John C Dvorak: doling apart.
Adam Curry: Terrorists don't need AI. And then here's here's
the real head scratcher. After we saw this open AI parlor
trick, this little shoe rod of, you know, a an AI going oh, wow,
it looks like you're gonna do a video. Oh, this is great. So is
this AI or is it just an actress that you hired? I'm a little
confused about this report. Hollywood
Unknown: megastar Scarlett Johansson is taking on one of
the biggest names in tech open AI co founder Sam Altman.
Hey, how's it going?
Hey there,
the actress saying one of the five voices for open AI is new
AI chatbot sounds eerily similar to her own. I'm really excited
about teaming up with you. Johansson, who famously played
the voice of an artificial intelligence system and the 2013
movie Her Hi. How you doing? saying in a statement that
Altman had reached out twice wanting to hire her for the open
AI project?
Adam Curry: How stop? Why do you need to hire an actress and they
hired a different actress. They did a casting for AI can't AI
create the voice? Is this? Is it generating the voice on demand?
Or is it using pre selected segments or do they have to
sample I don't and that makes no sense. Why can't AI just create
the voice? This is very this is sketchy
Unknown: an offer she declined. But she says when she heard the
demo for the voice named sky she was shocked angered and in
disbelief over the resemblance to her own. In response. Allman
says the company has paused the use of skies voice but denies
copying Johansens saying in part, the voice was never
intended to resemble hers. But Johansson points to a recent
post by Altman on x where he simply wrote her referencing the
movie he's spoken about publicly. I
Adam Curry: think her got something deeply right on the
interface deeply. Right.
Unknown: Is the controversy. Right?
Adam Curry: Well, this you got it. This is how you got to talk.
You see if you're if you're one of these cult members, it's
deeply troubling us. I think it got something deeply right on
the interface. Her got something deeply right on the interface.
So you got it. On the interface. The
Unknown: controversy, highlighting concerns over
online fakes and the growing copyright concerns posed by
artificial intelligence. And open AI says prior to ever
reaching out to Johansson, it cast actors to create the voices
of his new chat bots, the company has yet to release the
identity of those actors.
Adam Curry: I'm surprised that they need to cast actors for the
Identify
John C Dvorak: your points well taken what what boy, this is
great.
Adam Curry: So luckily, on the place where it matters, CNBC,
where people are going, Oh, googoo, gaga over in video, oh,
and you bought chips, the more chip we can compute, compute,
compute more compute, it'll work and we have more compute by
NVIDIA chips more compute, wait for their super black black
ball, Chip, whatever it is, then it'll work, then it'll work. I
promise. It'll work once we get more compute. So they bring on
this guy, Gary Marcus. And thank you, Gary Marcus, you've
Unknown: consistently offered gut checks about hallucinations,
lack of progress, the way in which this is not the pipe
dream. That's some envision. Have any of the recent product
introductions changed your mind? No,
I mean, we're still basically working with the same technology
is still designed in the same way. It takes a lot of
statistics from a lot of words and tries to predict what
happens next. And as soon as these things come out, people
start playing with them on Twitter, and so forth. And you
see a lot of examples where they're still making the same
boneheaded mistakes as they were before. Nobody has actually
solved hallucinations. And I don't think we can with large
language models, I think we need genuine innovation here. So what
happens is we have a trap right now where people propose things
like the humane AI, then imagining that AI is solved, and
then they put it out in the world. And we realize no, it's
not solved. And I'm afraid that hasn't happened yet. Are
you going so far as to argue that the wave of investment that
very smart companies are making right now is misplaced? I
think people are putting in too much money too fast. I do think
it's kind of premature. Sam Altman talked about raising $7
trillion. That's like series H money, or something like that
when you've really established your business model and so
forth. And that just hasn't happened here. I've publicly
predicted that open AI might turn out to be the WeWork of AI.
People might scratch their heads and say, Well, this is a
solution. In search of a problem. We haven't really found
the problem. The whole industry spent on something like this $2
billion last year made $3 billion in revenue that is not
sustainable in the long term. So either they have to make it
better, which is proven really difficult. Or they have to find
some killer use case, which they haven't really because the
performance is unreliable. So yeah, my guess is that a lot of
investors are going to be left holding the bag.
Adam Curry: So I hear this and then I read about people,
people, people leaving open AI and they have these horrible
NDAs and you can't talk about the company ever, or your blues
all your vested stock, and I realized why? Because they don't
want these people to tell everyone that it doesn't work.
That it's crap.
John C Dvorak: No, it works. It is crap.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. It works but it's crap. Yeah, I mean, but
it's a trick. It's like it's not it's impressive and the things
in the you know, the the video and the audio and the pictures
and you know, some of you know Okay, so we'd write up flower
points fine, but it's not really useful and what the guy said is
true. It's a solution looking for a problem that just doesn't
exist yet.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think the funnier thing and he does
commentary expressed was the week that we work well the we
work with good long winters or pure foot humor that was good
definitely the peak no but no, I meant funny in the sense that
it's like pathetic 50 billion to bring in five three No, three,
three, okay. 53 That which I've always been convinced is going
on with electric cars too, that they are shipped you know that
they're losing. I think General Motors or Ford or one of them
brought this up they're losing $100,000 A car they saw every
car sold was $100,000 in the hole. And I think they I think
that that goes for Tesla even though the cars are out costs
over 100,000 I think they're probably losing money on each
one because the technology is just too expensive to make but
the same thing with his AI when you go to Wall e dolly I'm sorry
dolly like Wally was doing well well he's the movie dolly is the
is the image that our generator Yeah, you generate these pieces
of art over and over again day art probably losing 10 to $20
each time that you generate a piece of art it's just it's a
it's a huge money loser. Yeah, they will make up for it and
volume they
Adam Curry: get the users will think or worry about profit
later on. If we were too old for this. We have we're just cynical
off the top because we've seen this
John C Dvorak: crap forever. Now
Adam Curry: the only guy who really did well, but the last
bull crap was Mark Cuban with broadcast.com. Brilliant.
Brilliant. Yeah. And
John C Dvorak: he was in and out. He was brilliant. It was
brilliant. It was it was pretty good.
Adam Curry: You can't say it wasn't brilliant. Now, if we
just stick with big tech for a moment, I was shocked. I tell
you shocked that Tucker Carlson did an interview with Eric
Prince and posted this interview with the hashtag paid promotion.
Oh, yeah, yeah, what exactly would so he does an interview
with Eric Prince hashtag paid promotion. So we all know that
Eric principles
John C Dvorak: get paid to play now on the Tucker Carlson and
Tucker Carlson. This is how he's making his money. And and he's
doing
Adam Curry: it with Eric prince with his unplugged phone. Listen
to this nonsense. So how does your phone protects people?
Unknown: So again, this, like I said, this, this era started
three and a half years ago. And we came at it from a completely
contrarian view. This phone, it's our hardware made in
Indonesia at a Singaporean facility, that'll be safe. Our
operating system, all our code,
Adam Curry: all our code, the whole lot, we built the whole
operating system, okay. And
Unknown: we are solely focused on data sovereignty that you
control. It's
pretty cool. Just that. I am kind of impressed that you made
hardware, you didn't just build an app like you extract
because you have to control it down to the root level of, of
the hardware and the software. So that our we don't have an
advertising ID and our operating system blocks, any any attempts
by any app to turn on your camera, or your Wi Fi or your
microphone or your GPS apps.
Adam Curry: Okay, all right. So that's not that spectacular. But
wait, he's gonna make some great claims here and
Unknown: we don't allow any of that leakage. In fact, we have a
privacy Center. This is called the unplugged. This is an
unplugged phone. And this is a effectively a firewall which
prevents apps from doing all the things they're used to doing on
all the other phones. So you're in control of what of your data
goes out, which is effectively, zero. This is like a, this is
like a safe comes in, it doesn't come out.
Adam Curry: Okay, so you couldn't use apps. And then none
of your data goes out. Now listen to
John C Dvorak: the adult way. Stop, we have to stop right now.
When you hear I think you
Adam Curry: need to hear the next clip for what you're going
to say. But okay, go ahead.
John C Dvorak: Apps assumes an operating system that runs the
apps apps don't just run on anything. I can't run it. Random
app on my
Adam Curry: toes. He's running an Android derivative. Of
course, we this is boy, he
John C Dvorak: said, Wait a minute. You said they did the
holes coating themselves. They got nothing to do with anything.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Get ready for this.
Unknown: I'm just the bottom line and I'm protected from what
am I protected from if I use this, here's the thing.
The if you're using apps, and some federal agency goes to that
app purveyor, and says, Give me everything you have on Tucker,
that he's been using that app, they'll be nothing because
there's no data leaking from you go
Adam Curry: so there'd be nothing, they'll have no login
data, there'd be no no usage that nothing, there'll be
nothing, the app just runs without the backend service.
It's amazing.
Unknown: From your device. To that to that app. If if you call
somebody we have our own secure messenger, for example, you want
to call and make a secure call. And you call me it takes about
five seconds to connect. Because it's literally creating a
encrypted tunnel between you and me, generates a new encryption
key, every call, it is our effort to to fight the power. It
can't I mean, fight the power, just confess it, I use an iPhone
made by a company I actually kind of hate and that hates my
country. And me and I use it anyway. Because it's, there's
Adam Curry: a lot of people like you, that's why we're here with
a paid promotion would want to digitally a lot of people like
you dumb, dumb, ignorant not knowing exactly what's going on.
And here comes the claims queue
Unknown: that would want to digitally opt out of the lie of
big tech. And so what you can't do, obviously, we don't have the
Apple store. We don't have Apple Music, but you can use Spotify,
you can use a lot of the other streaming services on here, we
just prevent them from collecting your data as to what
you're listening to. Or oh,
Adam Curry: okay, so I can use Spotify but they won't know what
I'm listening to.
Unknown: streaming services work excuses lie here,
we just have that work. It doesn't work from collecting
your data as to what you're listening to, or, or where you
are when you do it. And you can share pictures, you can send
pictures, we have a lot of the other privacy related apps,
whether it's signal or Threema, or proton or telegram.
Adam Curry: Telling telegram is privacy protected No prob proton
Oh, yeah, proton.
John C Dvorak: Email Server.
Adam Curry: Proton, definitely gives up information. Doherty's
okay, it may not be able to give the messages if they're
encrypted, if they're encrypted, not always encrypted. But this
is a lie. And he's in a troll room says that he's also buying
ad space on O'Keefe stuff. So people are gonna fall for this.
It's like that. Remember that nut job with the freedom? I'm
John C Dvorak: not as upset about it as you. Well.
Adam Curry: I'm more upset that Tucker is doing paid promotions.
I mean, that's just lame. That's just lame. That's just
John C Dvorak: a cash flow problem,
Adam Curry: I guess. But you know, but he's,
John C Dvorak: I like to know what he charged for that
particular advertorial. Whatever you want to call it.
Adam Curry: Hey, Eric. Prince, we'll talk about your phone. Oh,
it's great. Oh, yeah, you can listen to the no agenda stream
securely. No one will know you're listening. It's great.
Yeah. This is a hoax. It's not good.
John C Dvorak: Oh, oh, it's just it's not necessarily a hoax is
somebody it just cuts everything off. Nothing works. Right.
They're asked to look at your camera or your contacts or
anything else. We're just refused. We won't use it. We
won't run it. That means nothing will work nothing. No Apple will
work on that phone. Spotify
Adam Curry: will not work unless you opt into the library that
does digital, what's the term looking for? Yeah, no. Yeah, you
do. It's the digital the digital signature the
John C Dvorak: I forget the name of a DMCA
Adam Curry: No, not that. No, it's like it's the same thing if
you if you load Firefox are brave. And if you then want a
wild wild vine There you go. If you want to watch some movie
from, you know, but if you want to watch YouTube TV, you have to
then opt into loading the wide VOD DRM. There we go. You have
to opt into loading the the libraries that in essence, let
them know exactly what you're doing. Otherwise Spotify doesn't
work. I know because
John C Dvorak: that's what there's all I think all this
stuff's not going to work because most of these guys look
at it said, Well, if you will let us do that. You can't use
us.
Adam Curry: Spotify or Spotify. I have no agenda phone no agenda
phone.com the Spotify does not work unless you say okay, I'll
opt into this stuff. The bills
John C Dvorak: to spy which gives it all away.
Adam Curry: Of course. Of course. I'm telegram burn
signal. All right. I'm sure it's all secure.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure that was a paid promotion. Come on.
Adam Curry: I know. But it's just I'm disappointed. I expect
so much more from my
John C Dvorak: probably never immersed you hated that guy
Adam Curry: who don't know I expect more from my mercenaries.
Go back.
John C Dvorak: No, not for me. I'm telling you hated the guy.
Tucker. I never hated Tucker. And I always thought you did.
Oh. Oh, let's just take a slight comedic break.
Adam Curry: For real comedy or no comedy because I thought that
was pretty funny. That
John C Dvorak: was funny, but it wasn't as funny as this. Okay,
I'm ready. Now I'm this tic toc battle ruined our lives because
of they not going to have the good clips like this. This talk
ban I taught clip I have which is every time I watch one of
these I say now is this an actress auditioning is this
really good acting is beyond the pale. I mean, is this or is this
really just a dummy that because people get on the there's some
of the dumbest people that put themselves on Tik Tok. And
they're just, they're dumb and arrogantly dominant. You know,
they don't even know how it didn't in this case is not a
woman who's necessarily dumb. She's just ignorant. And I just
think is one of the great clips I've ever heard. Tick tock tick
Unknown: tock tick tock.
Say other day I went to a steak house for a friend's birthday
and she ordered a steak and the waitress goes, How do you want
your cow cooked? It's a weird way to order it but whatever. So
she asked my friend how do you want your cow cooked? My friend
says I want it medium rare. Something like that. So then I
wasn't in the mood for steak. I wanted a hamburger I'd been
craving a hamburger. So I order you know the cheese the cheese
burger. And she was how do you want your cow cooked? I kind of
like awkwardly looked at my friends. I was like, I feel
really embarrassed. Do I point out that it's not cow like
hamburgers? A pig? Everyone knows. Pig. So back I was like,
Well, I want my pig cooked. Well done. You're not supposed to
you're not supposed to eat pork, like uncooked. Everybody knows
that. It's why it's always been super weird to me that people
will get like, red in the middle on their burgers. And so she
looks at me. She goes You mean your cow? And I'm like, I don't
know how to have this conversation right now. Like I'm
not a teacher. I'm not. I don't know how to educate you kindly.
And I was like, sure my cow. It was so bizarre. Like how do you
not know it's literally in the name? It's a hamburger. There's
no hope for the world. Yeah, that's right.
Adam Curry: That's right. No hope for the world. I think it's
real, I think is genuine. This is. This is the level of output
we have from our scholastic system. I bet she knows a bit.
She knows all about climate change, though. But she's all in
on that. By the way.
John C Dvorak: If she votes Democrat, I can assure you the
the oil baron
Adam Curry: gave me a whole bunch of Nidal meet
John C Dvorak: the goal Nidal? Yes. Isn't that an antelope?
Adam Curry: That is a kind of Antelope only it is an antelope
that has is a remnant. It has three stomachs. So the four no
three or two no three so it has a whole has so the the meat and
its ground is ground ground ground in the gall. And we had
hamburgers, man, this is some delicious very lean delicious
and you know I can send some to you if you want if you'd like
me. Yes, a cooler. Yeah, he's got he's got he's got dry ice so
yes, we have dryers. He's got sausage and and the hamburger
tubes and he shot it himself. At the at the Kings ranch.
John C Dvorak: Tony Maloney game ranch here. We call it a gig
most Acosta minted
Adam Curry: oil baron he Do we call it here? We don't say a
phony baloney Game Ranch John we call it a high fence Ranch is
what we call it okay, we don't call it a phony baloney get we
call it a high fence ranch.
John C Dvorak: Okay shot at the fence, fence fence whatever it
Adam Curry: is his birthday be nice it's his birthday. Okay,
John C Dvorak: happy birthday he's not on the list put them on
the list. He's on
Adam Curry: the list. I put them on the list of course I did.
Well, speaking of crazy food,
John C Dvorak: well wait wait go back to the meat. So what makes
it special? I mean, what was what was the characteristics
that made it so tasty it
Adam Curry: so it's kind of like a mix between venison which I
happen to like the taste of venison. Yeah, I like to taste
the medicine too. But the texture and all that is much
more of of beef.
John C Dvorak: It's about nursing here's when you go to
the ground these ground you grind up these animals and they
take on a different quality like for example not to digress too
much. Okay. Example ground elk, which is a terrific all tasting
product needs to be backed off because ground elk in a burger
is dense. It's too dense you need to put some ground turkey
or something in there lighten and lighten the load. So this
about that for this is this have is just dense. This
Adam Curry: has the exact same consistency as beef as ground
beef. It no difference. And but it has, so it's very lean and it
has to just taste better. It tastes better. Yeah, I'd say I
want to say sweeter. But that's not really the right term. But
you know, venison? It's not gamey though. But it's not
venison can sometimes taste low gamey if not depends
John C Dvorak: on where where the venison if it's like New
Zealand ranch venison This is very mild compared to some
animals somebody shot
Adam Curry: well this is from the phony baloney a game hunting
place so no high fence
John C Dvorak: I've
Adam Curry: it's fan I haven't had the sausage yet that
breakfast sausage and I saw I'm sure they spice that was
something so I'm gonna try that. Try that next. But he gave me
just a whole bunch of these these tubes that they pack for
him. So you know, he shoots I wonder if he even has to carry
it back on his back. You know, to just you know, just shoot it.
Oh,
John C Dvorak: they shoot it and go over beer. A bunch of done
you go into the 19th hole.
Adam Curry: Here is the latest from Illinois. The state is
buzzing literally
Unknown: the Wednesday hump day everyone and boy do we have a
show for you. Buckle up. We're talking cicadas and booze. We've
all heard that you can eat cicadas you know there are
recipes online describing how you can pan fry them boil them
toasts and put them in cookies and cakes, whatever but
whatever. Would you drink them alright, so
if that's something that sounds appealing to you listen up noon
whistle brewery hosted these images yesterday unveiling its
locally harvested, cicada infused Lord. It is available at
its brew pub in Lombard. The comments on this post ranged
from Heck yeah, and try it to y'all are nasty. And of course,
a lot of people asking Seriously, why?
Adam Curry: Because your future is bugs Illinois. You hear that?
That? We all know you can put it in cookies and we'll know who's
doing that. Seriously. Who's doing that? Who's buddy moose
putting that stuff into their cookies. It's concerning. very
concerning.
John C Dvorak: Well, I suppose you do pull it. Well. No bugs. I
don't have any bug clips. You
Adam Curry: have no bug clips.
John C Dvorak: Now I guess a Mar a Lago service. I sold some
climate stuff there, which I couldn't get to because you you
went to that guy who went from climate to transgender to AI,
which is beautiful. It was a huge switcheroo on the whole I
love flow.
Adam Curry: I'm okay to go back to climate if you want. I mean
yeah,
John C Dvorak: I got some NPR climate changes because they
there's an ant Arctic expert. This is getting on my nerves.
This stuff is Yeah, well, you know, it's doing this is the
worst. Where's the sea rise? You know, I
Adam Curry: don't see it. Yeah. Familiar,
Unknown: elitist voices of America. This is NPR
or PBS. fixing the problem comes down to you probably guessed it.
Oops, I'm
Adam Curry: sorry. Oops. Wrong one. For decades,
Unknown: scientists have gathered evidence that climate
change is melting sea ice in the Arctic. But Antarctica has been
this weird outlier. The region's sea ice melt hasn't been so
dramatic. That's because the two places are quite literally polar
opposites. The Arctic up north is an ocean surrounded by land
the Antarctic in the South. is land surrounded by ocean. It's a
very different setup. That's Caroline Holmes. She's a polar
climate scientists at the British Antarctic Survey.
Scientists like her have been tracking in Arctic sea ice
levels by satellite for 45 years. And they spotted a big
shift in 2023. Last
year, there were loads of dramatic climate stories going
on. And one of those was that sea ice in the Antarctic was
really dramatically low in Antarctic winter. So that's our
summer, Antarctic winter.
And Arctic sea ice plummeted to the lowest point on record. But
it wasn't immediately clear whether human activity caused
that there's a lot going on in the Antarctic climate home says,
Adam Curry: you know, at this point, when I hear this noise,
it literally just goes in my ear, one ear goes out the other.
I think everyone else tunes that out to Antarctic ice, whatever.
And it's now a human activity. But it's not human activity. She
said man was more complicated. There's more going on. Yeah,
like flying saucers.
John C Dvorak: Wait a minute, if human activities causing global
warming? No,
Adam Curry: that's not part of the globe, man. I feel your
pain.
John C Dvorak: It should either it's causing it universally,
because it's global, the word global refers to the globe. Or
it's not. But they can't seem to make up their minds. They don't
know how to deal with the fact that they can't really put any
numbers together that work. But okay, continuing,
Unknown: the Antarctic is really variable. We know, things like
winds, temperatures around Antarctica are some of the most
variable places on earth. And because of that, you could get
lots of naturally cause variation, but it kind of
masking everything that's going on while climate change.
So Holmes and her colleagues at the British Antarctic Survey put
together some calculations that use computer modeling. Long term
for the Antarctic to lose that much sea ice.
And we found that this is a really rare thing. I mean, we
knew it was rare. And because it hadn't happened before in our
lifetimes, but we showed using computing that it really,
really, really was a really, really, really, really, really
was a really, really, really, really, really was a really,
really
extremely rare event. That suggests such a major ice loss
isn't only a product of shifting wind patterns, or ocean
currents, how far now there's much clearer evidence that
climate change is playing a role.
We found that it would only have happened about once in 2600
years. Ah,
John C Dvorak: wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. 2600
years ago it happened. Yeah, so what was the climate with you're
blaming climate change back in the day? 2600 years ago,
Adam Curry: was the Romans Romans burning stuff? This is
Yeah, no, I feel you but you know what? This is where the
money is. I don't know why we're so pigheaded about it all. We're
just paying we should just jump on board on board go all in.
cash out. Hello, everybody. Climate change. John. What's
John C Dvorak: the latest? Unbelievable we're all gonna
die. Where's my money?
Adam Curry: Have you seen the latest models? Oh, yes. You
know, AI is going to solve this when we get the next large
language model from Miss drawl. It's going to be great. Yeah, we
could be cashing in. People would believe us. We could sound
the fear if we can sound sincere.
John C Dvorak: It sounds sincere. That's the trick. It's
hard
Adam Curry: it's hard but I think we could do we could pull
it off
John C Dvorak: doable we can do it take couple acting lessons.
We're good to go. Yeah, okay. I think there's less there is
Unknown: there is fixing the problem comes down to
Adam Curry: your Corinne DeVore Consulting Group is what it
comes down to domain admin with some AI
Unknown: fixing the problem comes down to you probably
guessed it reducing greenhouse gases Gillingham says that until
then reliance on fossil fuels will continue to shape the
Antarctic even if the effects don't show up right away.
Adam Curry: Oh, how much meat who's paying these people?
John C Dvorak: The vegans rich vegans vegans
Adam Curry: that you'll see that's quite the quite the
common theme in the climate change special a lot of veganism
and with the whole
John C Dvorak: idea seems to be the root of all evil. Veganism
Adam Curry: is a big part of it big part of it and with that I
would like to thank you for your currency in the morning to you
the man who put the seeds in the cow that's cook say hello to my
friend on the other end the one and only Mr. Joss
John C Dvorak: well in the morning you Mr. M curry also oh
the morning in the morning all the ships in the season have
boots in the ground their feet in the air subsequent water
Notre Dame's show So
Adam Curry: this is I, you know, I saw it this morning, I when I
logged into the troll room, I saw a very little trolling
activity. But I think Darren did something. Because on the last
Thursday show we had 18 120 Trolls today, down to 1693. I
blame Darren. But uh, Darren do I don't know, I didn't listen to
the whole show. But when I when I checked in, it was only like
250 Trolls. Wait, no, but I have it here. Let me see I checked
in. There was 389. And that was a half hour before we started.
So he chased the trolls away. I don't know what he did.
John C Dvorak: He played a song that was offensive to Taylor
Swift, I'm
Adam Curry: sure. Well, I
John C Dvorak: don't think he played Taylor Swift today. But
maybe.
Adam Curry: Anyway, we, I mean, there's still I mean, it
certainly
John C Dvorak: be some issue of getting online. There's a lot of
possibilities. We also have a holiday coming up. And so that
holiday will probably result in people taking off today, the
next day and the next day and then Monday. For the government
the time that's right. Take off a couple of sick days before a
three day weekend. Boom, you're good to go know all about it.
That's right. I do believe me I end of things when you quit. I
worked there for almost a decade in this agency. And I and I got
our almost a round of applause because I walked out of there
with no sick leave. Left and no vacation time left 00
Adam Curry: a big article again, today I was reading about how,
how today's workforce, they don't take any, they hardly take
any PTO, because they're just working remote. And we've talked
about this before. They just have little apps that make the
mouse move around to make it look like they're busy. They're
sitting on the beach. I don't understand how how can the
economy be booming and doing so well, stock market all time high
hits amazing what's going on? How does it work when no one's
doing anything? You tell me? Well,
John C Dvorak: I'll tell you what I think, which is I think
that even working at home and getting an hour's work done a
day instead of eight is still more productive than being in
the office and shooting the shit all day. And being around the
water cooler and getting a half an hour's work done. It's just I
don't understand. I'm not I'm not convinced that that work at
home guy with a fake mouse movement. All the rest is still
not getting more done than you get done in the office.
Adam Curry: It's very possible. Very possible. I think the stock
market all time highs because the dollar was basically
devalued due to inflation. But that's just me.
John C Dvorak: Well, it's universal because the dollar
versus euro is a buckle rate. So it's still not that bad. No,
Adam Curry: no, not at all. Not at all.
John C Dvorak: It's fine compared to the yen, which is
completely lost.
Adam Curry: I don't know how I'll be over 160 again yet. I'm
waiting for it.
John C Dvorak: I think is waiting is pushing it on my eggs
by a Toyota. Do that by a Toyota by
Adam Curry: a truck. Let me see where it is home. I can take a
look at it right now. Let me see is no one almost 157 creeping up
creeping up?
John C Dvorak: Did bounce up there before. I mean, a couple
of weeks ago,
Adam Curry: I know we did. Two
John C Dvorak: highs that shouldn't be there. No,
Adam Curry: but it is because something's wrong. I think
there's something wrong. I'm not sure. Maybe it's just me. All I
hear is I was a everything's great economy's great. And that
and all I see is tick tock videos of children going I can't
afford ran I work two jobs about something's wrong. Somewhere,
something's wrong. By the way, you too can be a troll that just
you know, maybe, hey, if you're a troll, just get one of those
apps that just makes it look like you're busy in the troll
room. Nick convince us now just move the mouse around post
something from time to time and just pretend to make us feel
better. I think it's possible you can get one of those
John C Dvorak: I was creating an AI for the troll room. I would
create a promotional one. A professional it's just continue
to hound you like by the way, too many eggs.com Go to too many
eggs.com That's what I would use over and over and over every
five minutes. Have you been to too many eggs.com Anything?
Adam Curry: Well, Doug is our is our AI in the troll room. Of
course. Doug is AI.
John C Dvorak: Doug used to be used to give the news.
Adam Curry: Yeah, on the stream dyno. And then Darren came along
and killed Doug. I don't know. Anyway,
John C Dvorak: it was all pre AI.
Adam Curry: That's right. We've we've had aI on the show for 15
years, with the least with Doug with Doug and it was probably
better. Certainly more entertaining. And Doug read the
news. If you'd like to be a troll go to troll room. dot io,
you can do that live. And you can join anytime, because
there's always something going on there. And the no agenda
stream is all kinds of live shows. And blueberry was there.
I mean, they got concerts. Now this is insane. What's
happening, it's its own organism. I don't know how sir
bemrose manages at all, but he does. And somehow everyone's
reasonably happy. And there's just show after show after show
and you can, you can troll along live. And then of course, we
have the Thursday and Sunday show when we pack them in. And
you can also enjoy all that in a modern podcast app, which will
notify you when your favorite show goes live on the stream,
and gives you all kinds of extra features like transcripts and
add chapter images and, and and even if you don't catch the live
show, it'll it'll pop up and let you know, 90 seconds after we
publish. No waiting for 15 minutes, half an hour, sometimes
days on Apple or Spotify. Not that you can get us on Spotify
since we've rejected them. We operate fully on value for
value, because advertising is censorship. Thank you for
continuing to remind us about that in the in the newsletter.
And it should be it should be a hoodie over at no agenda
shop.com minimum a cap advertising is censorship V for
V for life. And one of the ways that we love to receive value is
from our artists who are always on the ball. Many of them are
Dutch grandmasters and in fact, most of them are duct
grandmasters. And they they are diligently creating art during
the live show when they can so that the minute we're done, we
we fill out the credits because of course everyone gets a credit
and we're about to thank our executive and Associate
Executive Producers just like Hollywood and and then we select
the title and boom, we're good to go. And it was Sir Schug
Schug, aka fo Diddley, who nailed it with the classic
Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, which he
transmogrified into Trad wife Homes and Gardens new cookbook
and recipes for indoctrination. It's a little hard to read that
one but it was good we liked it there were some other things
that we'll check up
John C Dvorak: Joe was good we wish was done by Tenzin Neil
right next to it.
Adam Curry: Yes it rabbit it was a little the house the batteries
it the idea was there is a typical no agenda pack shot with
Duracell batteries. And which is weird because I should remind
people
John C Dvorak: I've had nothing but bad luck with Duracell
batteries that you get from Costco. They, they they leave
them into a they leak. They leak they leak and they don't last
that long. The best battery to get as an either an ole max or a
Fuji
Adam Curry: Fujis Fujis I've had good luck with Fujis foods she
John C Dvorak: makes a terrific battery. Can
Adam Curry: you get those at Costco? The Fuji? No, you
John C Dvorak: only can get at Costco is Duracell and the
Kirkland battery.
Adam Curry: How are those? The corona? I
John C Dvorak: have not noticed that they're any good? No,
there's not a place to buy batteries.
Adam Curry: I don't think I'd ever buy Kirkland batteries.
John C Dvorak: I bought them at Fujis Fujitsu didn't show me
anything.
Adam Curry: You got a complaint about the chicken the other day
I saw I saw you posted about it.
John C Dvorak: Well, it turns out that Costco is taken to
Costco chicken the 495 class 98 Whatever classic classic cheap
chicken rotisserie chicken and in some cost goes not mind
locally but the one up in Port Angeles, Washington was actually
in swim. They put it in a in a plastic bag instead of in the
container. Oh
Adam Curry: no,
John C Dvorak: that's so the plastic bag all the juice ends
up in the bag and the bag is made out of whatever it's made
out of it. cracks and leaks. And so you're gonna get Costco
chicken juice all over your car, or wherever you put the bag and
it also steams the chicken in the bag. Creating a soft skin.
It's a disaster. And you also can't tell using the chicken
trick. What the best chicken is in the in the group because
they're all in bags. You can't really tell with the Costco
chicken in the container. The trick is for everyone out there
who eats the scrap. The trick is if the back of the chicken is
touching the top of the container because you can see it
I'd say about one out of 20 chickens does this. It's the
perfectly cooked chicken Jhansi
Unknown: de Bourgh X diva the day was that
John C Dvorak: P vis a tip
Adam Curry: well I wanted to play the P but then you you
close it with a tip but your P was the was the bags
John C Dvorak: the just yeah the cheese is a bag yeah the bags
are no good.
Adam Curry: We don't have a Johnson anymore. Like Tip of the
day we should should we had many artists check in with slingshots
the slingshot people love the slingshot idea.
John C Dvorak: Yeah.
Adam Curry: They didn't quite why didn't they quite do it? It
didn't quite hand in quite
John C Dvorak: good for a little light corny. I
Adam Curry: kind of liked Darren said no agenda sewage sludge
class and other classic packshot was okay. I saw
John C Dvorak: you use as he always throw something in there
just in case. I saw that you used
Adam Curry: Fletcher's gold standard for the newsletter, the
newsletter I
John C Dvorak: thought was pretty piece didn't that wasn't
nice. It wasn't for the show, because it doesn't really have
any direct connection, anything but it was a nice piece. And
then there
Adam Curry: was a bunch of AI stuff everywhere. A lot of Trad
wife stuff. People trying to get us with trade wise, wasn't going
to translate. I did get people emailing me about how they love
being a housekeeper.
John C Dvorak: And well, they should. Instead
Adam Curry: of homemaker, it's a Jhansi Dvorak housekeeper as
great as great. Well, thank
John C Dvorak: you for keeping a house. Yeah,
Adam Curry: exactly. You're keeping the house. Thank you
very much, sir. Schug, aka fo diddley for the artwork for
episode 1662. We almost this was kind of interesting. We almost
titled that one. jacked up, Joe. And we went for a hard landing,
but we like yeah. How about jacked up, Joe? And if we had
done that, it would have been the third time we've used that
title a quick turns out Yeah, quick, a quick check revealed
that we had already doubled that once before. So
John C Dvorak: yes, we do use it, use it twice. When I
promoted the idea of let's go for that trick.
Adam Curry: I wavered for a minute, but then now because now
we'd like to thank the people who delivered us treasure. We
appreciate this very much. We appreciate anyone who becomes a
producer and you can become a producer for any amount. At any
time it's up to you can become a sustaining producer. If everyone
did it would be fantastic. But you know, that's just not how it
works. Value for value usually comes in the form of numerology
people love to donate and certain numbers, but if you feel
like it, you can go to no agenda donations.com And you can set up
something that goes every month or every, every week or every
show, it could be $5 can be 1111. I see. So what are people
doing for I looked at the numbers so that's the weekly now
that's the weekly $4 A week you're gonna have a layaway
knighthood. So as long as the as long as you keep track of with
the honor system, keep track of all your donations. Lots of
people have become nights from now on over a year's time. And,
and we appreciate them. We appreciate anybody under 50
Typically that's for anonymity. No, it doesn't want to be
mentioned at all. And we always want to highlight our our top
donors $200 above Associate Executive Producers $300 and
above is executive producer and we read your note and we kick it
off with Dusty from Waco, Texas, who comes in with a cool Insta
night. $1,000 He has a typewritten note which I shall
read there we go. Dear John Adam dusty here from Waco Texas De
douche me fellas you've been de deuced been feeling been feeling
to donate for quite some time. This is Texan been failing to
donate for failing
John C Dvorak: or knowing for some time bores you bitter de
douche me
Adam Curry: got punched in the mouth by my cousin Chris
Gilliam, who resides in North Austin. And I'd like to publicly
thank him for telling me about no agenda. And also I should
write remind him to donate douchebag. John, it's hard for
me to relate to anyone who still calls California home. Only
kidding, he says, but I do value your voice of experience. You
keep the game on the field. Well, that's interesting. You
keep the game on the field. Do you think that means in this
context, I'm out. I pray for your state. To Adam however, I
have the most important thing in common in 2004. I cried out to
the Lord from a very lost and dark place. Not only did he
rescue me from my pain, but he also set my feet on solid ground
that has given me a fruitful life. With renewing hope in my
heart. I was so happy for you and your family when I heard you
would come to faith in Jesus after 20 years of walking with
him. I know now for certain that every word in that Bible is
right and true. No jingles for me though. I donate this $1,000
With a cheerful heart of gratitude for no agenda service
to humanity. Y'all are another critical voice in the lay man's
search for the truth. I'll sign off with a quote from dj t. That
will be Donald J. John Trump I presume the truth is a force of
nature. It always wins in the end. Hang on folks only a little
while longer now. I think he's voting for Trump.
John C Dvorak: He's voting Yes, and you can hold on you never
know what's gonna happen. Yeah, you never know. Alright. Thanks,
brother.
Adam Curry: Thank you dusty and didn't have that he asked for a
knighting or anything. Nope,

and and then the mic is attached to that and then there's just a
cage around the mic, which shouldn't allow that to happen
what I'm doing here should not be heard by the mic at all. But
Adam Curry: are you are you on the Heil? What do you want? What
Mikey I would Yeah,

John C Dvorak: here we go with Eli the coffee guy in
Bensenville Illinois. This brings me to a note that was
written into gentleman you asked espresso questions last episode
we have answers the device used to knock spent coffee out of the
porta filter is known as a knock box. I mean he pointed this out
do not to box KNOCK KNOCK box box. light roast don't knock out
of the porta filter as easy because they are denser. As the
coffee is roasted darker, the bean actually expands more like
popcorn and density decreases which means the darker rows will
get knocked out easier. John light rows do have more
caffeine, the Honduran organic is my favorite for espresso.
Adam, I agree that dark roast work better in the French press.
Producers should visit gigawatt coffee roasters.com and get a
super sampling of all 10 of our coffees to which then see which
one is their favorite news. ITM code 24 20% off their order.
Stay caffeinated. Now, that brings me to a note that was
sent by another coffee guy. And of course I ended up going back
claiming the notes. I have to go back and find the note. Okay.
But just give me a second here it is from Mike. And he's a
coffee roaster too. But he does I think he's more commercial.
Does he have a cold coffee roaster here weighing in on the
light dark debate. And this is our producer Mike Eli, the
coffee guy who has a dang good espresso blend will probably
confirm what I'm about to say as well. But he doesn't quite
because he says something different here. It's not that
light roast coffee has more caffeine is that the light roast
coffees have more density now he did say that and humidity that
the amount of space they occupy is greater compared to a dark
roast. So when you fill your porta filter with a dark roast
the standard is 18 grams. But to occupy the same amount of space,
you will have 20 grams of a light roast. Oh
Adam Curry: that's why it's more more caffeine is just more
product. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it makes sense.
Adam Curry: More product God
John C Dvorak: this is even more noticeable when you compare the
amount of coffee and a 12 ounce bag of light versus dark roast
also the phenomenon where he can't knock the light roast out
as to do a dark roast being more carbonized brittle and light
roast being more flexible retaining more water I work in
some high volume $30,000 espresso machines that use
ceramic burrs and they are not rated for light roast because
they will get jammed from the two factors I just mentioned.
Now that's more information than anybody out there who will ever
give your podcast about coffee coffee.
Adam Curry: Yes well I'm I'm down to my almost my last can of
the coaster.
John C Dvorak: I love yes you love the can coffee. Yeah,
Adam Curry: again it says here nitro shake vigorously to
activate. And that does open it sprays all over me. My sport is
you know, should I wait before because the activate
John C Dvorak: is another question for Eli the coffee guy.
He's the one who makes that product because
Adam Curry: I did it the other day. I'm all over my hoodie and
like okay, now I just want to mention on this this Canada's is
confusing. Costa Rican Dota tarrazu Snap to coffee you hear
cubs single origin, juicy profile, vibrant taste. Hmm.
Indeed. It's just water and coffee.
John C Dvorak: Well that caught that can coffee that make us
quite good. It trips
Adam Curry: me out. I mean, it's yeah, we noticed that please.

Unknown: Our formula is this we go out for yet people in the
mouth
Adam Curry: yeah, there's some bird flu mother just keeping it
alive at this point. If you've been following but this is
John C Dvorak: is languishing, they're not
Unknown: trying to keep it alive tonight US health officials
closely monitoring that human case of the highly contagious
bird flu virus. Now the second infection linked to an outbreak
in dairy cause second infection
John C Dvorak: to secondary infection. Why are they using
the word height? You know they this is a I don't know where you
got this but this is bad reporting is highly contagious
amongst birds. Yes. Well, but they just throw it out as highly
contagious makes it think that we're getting it. That's
Unknown: the point authority saying a Michigan Farm Worker
recovered after having mild symptoms that worker likely
contracting the virus from infected livestock. Back in
March, a Texas farm were lying was diagnosed with the first
human case of bird flu
Adam Curry: human case of bird flu. First of all, bowl crap.
I've seen guys in Belgium with bird flu. And let's pinkeye
basically tied
Unknown: to dairy cows. Both patients worked with cows. What
is tied
Adam Curry: tied to dairy cows even mean did you did you put a
string on it a piece of yarn
John C Dvorak: that a big rope
Unknown: diagnosed with the first human case of bird flu
tied to dairy cows.
Adam Curry: I mean, that's not even. That's not it's either
from dairy cows, or
John C Dvorak: where where it did this ridiculous ABC. This is
abc abc these networks are really out of control that being
told what to do. Kurt
Unknown: was diagnosed with the first human case of bird flu
tied to dairy cows. Both patients worked with cows both
reporting eye infections, but the cases are not connected eye
infections
Adam Curry: pink eye that's literally what you get. It's
almost like you know just rubbing poop in your eye you get
pinkeye please Hi infections. Oh, I'm blind. I'm blind from
bird flu.
Unknown: risk to human health still is very low because of the
bird flu threat. The CDC tonight as a precaution, urging cities
and states to keep up flu surveillance summer
keep up keep up the surveillance but there is no human human
transmission, which is very important reasons that this
problem is still mostly confined to livestock.
Adam Curry: All right, let's listen to Lester Holt on NBC
with his version very quick. A
Unknown: second human case of bird flu linked to dairy cows
has been confirmed in the US health officials in Michigan say
a dairy worker who contracted the virus experienced mild eye
symptoms.
Adam Curry: Oh no since recovered. The first case was
found in Texas in March. Oh, I've recovered from from my
pinkeye Oh, so rough it was you know, there's
John C Dvorak: probably more cases of the plague the two
cases insured flu and conjunctivitis, actual play.
Yeah. Actual plague. Yes.
Adam Curry: Yes. Yes, unbelievable. These people
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yes, go. Let's change gears and go to the
10 commandments in the in the Louisiana schools. Big scandal.
Unknown: Louisiana may soon require public schools to
display the 10 commandments oh no free classroom.
That's in a bill that passed the state senate last week. A few
other states have also considered this move after a US
Supreme Court decision about religion in schools. Molly Ryan
with memorization WR KF in Baton Rouge has more to build
specifies that a poster at least 11 inches by 14 inches must be
displayed in every public school classroom with the 10
commandments, spelling out the prohibitions against killing and
stealing to prohibitions against coveting your neighbor's wife,
servant or cattle. Proponents say it will provide moral
guidance to students. The
significance of history is like the Oracle. Our laws are based
on the 10 commandments. In fact, without them, a lot of our laws
would not exist that
state representative Dodi Horton, a Republican lawmaker
and sponsor of the bill discussing it at the legislature
last month. She passed a similar bill last year that requires all
public school classrooms to display in God we trust. Horton
and other proponents say there's a new legal opportunity for
something that's been prohibited in the past. They cite a US
Supreme Court ruling that gave a high school football coach his
job back after he was fired for praying on the field.
The legal landscape has changed, which now allows us to present a
bill like the 10 commandments. No,
Adam Curry: where's the controversy?
John C Dvorak: Let's come in and clip to here
Unknown: we go. Okay. A similar bill failed in Texas last year
and Arizona's governor vetoed a slightly different one. The
group Americans United for Separation of Church and State
says Louisiana would be the only state to require the
commandments and all classrooms. Opponents of the bill say it's
state sanctioned religion and violates the First Amendment. No
here's Terry Landry with the Southern Poverty Law Center
opposing the bill and a Senate committee saying it violates the
rights of families of varying religious beliefs
were the parental rights in this particular issue. The proposal
does not require teachers to teach the 10 commandments, but
some, including Landry argue some of the commandments could
raise uncomfortable questions for elementary school students.
Do I want a teacher explaining to my child what is adultery, he
noted that could also clash with another bill being considered to
ban classroom discussion of sexual orientation. The bill
goes back to the house where it's expected to pass with some
changes before heading to Republican governor Jeff
Landry's desk. If he signs the bill. Opponents are expected to
challenge it in court.
Adam Curry: Oh, bravo, here
John C Dvorak: we go. Now there's a few things to discuss.
One is the guy the the the atheist who who I'm assuming is
an atheist. They came up with this well, I know it's gonna
cause problems because you got to explain adultery to children,
but meanwhile they're promoting sexual orientation discussion
Adam Curry: was homosexual orientation to the first graders
and why don't why don't you put the 10 commandments just hanging
above your pride flag it'll all be okay. sleaze
John C Dvorak: and of all things by the way, we should mention
the 10 commandments are innocuous. But they will bring
forth the satanists and the corniest are going to bitch and
moan because it's not a separation. What church are we
talking about here? That the Jewish is it? 10 commandments
comes out of the Old Testament. Yes. So that's Jewish. So are we
talking about you're objecting to D hate Jews? I don't go this
stretch. But then again, now the other element that came out this
is Texas rejected the same idea. What's wrong with you in Texas?
Adam Curry: I don't know. But I was not part of that vote.
John C Dvorak: I understand in California. Why is going that
would never happen.
Adam Curry: Well, I don't know the details of the Texas thing
but that just need to set straight that the separation
between church and state is nowhere. Can you read that in
the Constitution? The only the only thing that reads in the
First Amendment is that government cannot make any law
against any religion. Yes, even if you want to be a Satanist.
The separation of church and state comes from a letter that
Jefferson wrote that people now hold up as well as founding
that, no, no, you can do whatever you want. Any state can
do what they want. And quite honestly, any school should do
whatever they want. But we do much better if we got a little
bit of 10 commandments in our life. But no, oh boy. Oh, yes.
I'm sure this all boils down to one thing. Don't vote for Trump.
John C Dvorak: While we're at it, yes, I think you nailed it.
While we're at it. The only reason for the controversy are
the fact that they carry this on NPR
Adam Curry: don't vote for Trump. And while we're at it,
everyone, you know, you can go to any school in America or you
can go to, I think probably if I wanted to school in
Fredericksburg, you'll see pride flags, in all different versions
and all the teachers have a pride flag not to be it's going
to be great and get pride and pride and pride one of the one
of the sins of course, pride, but we got all kinds of pride
flags. But oh, Leo's got a pine tree flag.
Unknown: This morning, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito faces
new calls to remove himself from cases tied to the former
president and the assault on the Capitol. The New York Times
reports the second flag used by January 6 protesters was seen
flying at a lidos vacation home. Scott McFarland looks at the
modern message of that Revolutionary War banner. This
Adam Curry: is fantastic. The guys flying a flag, and it's a
problem. They flown pride Flags over the White House.
John C Dvorak: I know I actually have a clip from two shows ago
Adam Curry: yeah, they're about to fall. Okay, play the follow
up and then I want to
John C Dvorak: hear I played it for a while but I want to just
mentioned that this is part and parcel I think of the upcoming
Supreme Court decisions about flat Chevron deference flags.
It's got nothing to do. Of
Unknown: course not. You can see
the white and green appeal to heaven flag amid the rioters who
searched one guy to seek help make the flag a symbol of
support for former President Trump and the conservative
Christian nationalist movement. According to this New York Times
report Wednesday and appeal to heaven flag was photographed
flying at the New Jersey vacation home of conservative
Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito last summer. The report comes
days after Alito acknowledged and upside down US flag also
associated with the January 6 attack and the stop the steel
movement flew outside his Virginia home days after the
deadly capital riot Alito argued he had no involvement whatsoever
in the flying of the flag that was hung by his wife amid a
dispute with neighbors and recently Alito argued free
speech is under attack. Troubled
Waters are slamming against some of our most
fundamental principles. The controversy
comes as the court is deciding whether Trump should have
immunity from prosecution. McGrath, Justice Alito, to
recuse himself from those cases in court he did was really
the wrong thing to do. And it casts some
doubt on impartiality
as the appeal to heaven flag also hangs outside the office of
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson Johnson issued a
statement in support writing he has long appreciated the rich
history of the flag because it was first used by General George
Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and it was against the British because they
wanted to cut down our pine trees. And we said now, we we
Murni
John C Dvorak: these pine trees from making cheap furniture. You
guys haven't got a clue. Ikea. Ikea needs IKEA needs a damn
pine tree. Here's I got this from two weeks ago. This is
upside down flag became an issue.
Unknown: An American flag lens reportedly thrown upside down at
the home of a Supreme Court justice. The presidential
contenders agreed to debate and pretty soon also Michael Cohen
on the stand at criminal trial of Donald Trump appears Ron
Elving joins us Ron, thanks so much for being with us. Good to
be with this guy. The New York Times reported this week it had
photographs confirmed by interviews with neighbors that a
US flag flew upside down at the home of Justice Samuel Alito
just days before President Biden was inaugurated in 2021. Now is
this just a matter among Capitol pundits and opinion naters or
something more?
It certainly has set pundit tongues to wagging Scott and
it's still a developing story, but there are some facts agreed
upon Alito says he had nothing to do with a flag but his wife
put it up after a verbal dispute with a neighbor over yard signs.
Apparently one sign was reported to have had an obscenity on it.
Mrs. Alito took exception to that had an altercation with a
neighbor, and then she ran up all glory upside down. Now it's
a nautical sign of a vessel in distress. But it was also
brandished by some of the riders at the Capitol trying to
overturn results in the 2020 election. That was several days
before this flag incident at the lidos. So Democrats are taking
this very seriously. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries and the
Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin have both called on Alito
to recuse himself from two cases pending down before the High
Court cases that are pertinent to Trump's trials and his
election denial.
Adam Curry: This is so amazing because you know when it comes
to flag etiquette, I mean seriously, I've seen the pride
but I'm gonna say it again the pride flag flying above the
American flag totally out of out of all flag regulations. Any
flag in America should not be flown above the US flag. Right.
And fly. What are the what is the deal with these people? I
should have clipped it. You know my hatless and pivot with Kara
Swisher and Scott Galloway. They were like you should just leave
the flag alone. You should never do that stop with the flag. All
of a sudden they care about the flag.
Unknown: These people hate the American Day. They
Adam Curry: hate the American flag because it represents
Trump. They hate it. They hate America. They're haters. The
haters gotta hate the haters. You know, a 69 year old
grandmother was arrested here in Fredericksburg this week, by the
by the sheriff. You know why? Because there was video of her
praying inside the Capitol on January 6. This is almost three
years later. There's still Rousteing, grannies
John C Dvorak: Rousteing grannies, and how did they find
out who it was a and why is the sheriff going along with his
bull crap? Well,
Adam Curry: thank you. Do we just and this is why it's a big
issue here. I'm gonna write down roasting granny. That's pretty
funny. We have a run off election for Gillespie County
Sheriff, which ends tomorrow. And this is the incumbent
sheriff. And so apparently the way it works is, whenever you're
riding around the sheriff, just scan your license plate and if a
warrant pops up, he's going to arrest you. So I didn't know the
sheriff was riding around just checking everybody's license
plate. But apparently it is so it's part political. Now. Of
course. Look at what he did. He's bad. He's bad. Vote for the
other guy. Vote for the other guy. But he's bad. Vote. Vote
for Chris gonna vote for Chris. I'm bad. He's bad.
Unknown: I'm working on working on it. Yes, it was good.
Adam Curry: But in general, the the knowledge of what really and
you notice that they only talk about riders now they don't talk
about insurrectionists that went by the wayside. They stopped
calling
John C Dvorak: as Biden can't pronounce it. He keeps saying
this. Here
Adam Curry: is Bill Maher, who appeared on the Megyn Kelly
show.
John C Dvorak: He did this by the way I should mention he also
appeared on gut felt.
Adam Curry: And on the view He's everywhere. He's got a book and
John C Dvorak: he's got a good book agent and she's pushing him
on this showing that he was not happy on Gutfeld
Adam Curry: well, he wasn't happy on on Megyn Kelly either
on January 20 2025. He'll show up at the White House whether
he's invited or not. And I don't think that's going to be good.
We're now he's
Unknown: gonna bomb in behavior. Yes, yes.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Bomb is worried I wouldn't even throw
around likely. He's not gonna do that. Right. Like there was
never an attack on the Capitol.
Unknown: I hear you I hear you. But he's that never show up at
the inauguration show up
Adam Curry: at the Capitol and break windows and knock down
doors and kill cops and chase do damage. They didn't break
windows knocked on ops. They of course did. No they didn't. Who
did they died of natural causes that day. Yeah.
Unknown: Nobody died that day. Cops. No, not true. Oh,
okay. I don't remember the names.
They didn't. There was Brian sick Nick, who died later after
the fact. And the coroner's report did not say it was
because of what he had inhaled that day said it possibly
accelerated the condition that killed him.
Adam Curry: So this is the kind of knowledge or ignorance that
people have. Well, cops were killed man cops were killed,
they killed cops. That's Bill Maher, a guy who has a voice. He
has a voice he
John C Dvorak: was very similar on got fouled when he had got
Phil has it has a tremendous sense of humor when it comes to
dealing with this guy. And he just did just amazing to watch
is faster to that because the two of us got into a sparring
match. And you can just see that the clips are faster. And it's a
big deal. You know that this way. Johnny Carson always got a
lot of kudos. Because if you wanted to get into like an
insult thing going on, he kill you, as you just aren't that
fast. He's real fast. And so his gut felt turns out to be really
quick. But he said the same thing. He said, Trump's going to
you know, he's just going to take the office and he's going
to and if he gets elected, he's never going to leave. This is
same stuff. He says that he's going to ruin it. He's going to
kill it. And democracy. Where does this even how does this
even develop? It's it's just
Adam Curry: derangement syndrome is totally deranged. I should
have I should have played these clips after you brought up the
10 commandments because Norah O'Donnell this was really You're
saying Norah O'Donnell interviewed the Pope?
John C Dvorak: Yes, she did. And it took up the whole show. Well,
Adam Curry: we I don't have all that. But a lot of things that
have been reported in the news turned out to be fake news.
According to the Pope, what? I know, I was surprised. Let's
start with number one.
Unknown: It's Francis's capacity for forgiveness and openness
that has defined his leadership of the churches, nearly 1.4
billion Catholics. He put them and the world on notice during
an impromptu press conference on a plane in 2013, when he spoke
on the subject of homosexuality, so no persona gay if someone is
gay, he said, and he searches for the Lord when everyone has
good will follow you am I to judge? And he did not stop
there. Last year, you decided to allow Catholic priests to bless
same sex couples. That's a big change. Why?
Oh, god, okay. But know what I allowed was not into union
cannot be done because that is not the sacrament. I cannot
really say the Lord made it that way. But to bless each person,
yes. Having the blessing is for everyone. For everyone to see
around you, unless a homosexual type of union whoever goes
against the given right against the law of the church today it
is thrilling to see but to bless each person. Okay, no, why not?
But the blessing is for all secondary. Some people were
scandalized by this, but why? Everyone thought every paths.
You have said Who am I to judge? Homosexuality is not a crime?
No, it's a human friend.
Adam Curry: Oh, which brings me to the words in here the new
show starting on peacock. June 6, here's the promo.
Unknown: Our planet is home to over 11 million species.
ROTC really are everywhere. Everything you were taught as a
kid is wrong. You make gay penguins, bisexual lions six
changing clownfish. This is a queer,
Queen as has always existed. It's only in humans that we have
such a stigma about it.
The idea of just having to fix sexes is clearly out of style.
Mother Nature is pretty open minded.
Sex is not just
for reproduction. It's clear that no matter where you look on
our planet, Nature is full of clear surprises. To be honest,
we should all probably get laid a little more than we do.
Adam Curry: That's right. Queer planet starts June 6 on that
peacock network.
John C Dvorak: Gay and it's called queer planning.
Adam Curry: This show is called queer planet.
Unknown: Yep, that's you. Yeah. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. No, that's all good. It's all good. It's all
good. It's perfect. But don't hang the 10 commandments up in
the in the school's queer plans. They show a bunch of lions board
looked at gay lions. And it really it looks highly produced,
I must
John C Dvorak: say looks Yeah, well, they got a lot of
producers that know what they're doing. They certainly had a gay
Adam Curry: anyway. I don't know why I went that route, but maybe
we should get back to get down to either get back to Trump.
Because Comey is out and
John C Dvorak: about oh, wait, wait before you do that back to
get going about you know you first you brought up the 10
cameras now we got Brad gay planet are gay. We are planet
difference. Yeah. I might as well play this clip. This is
Biden and the five daughters clip. Have you heard this?
Adam Curry: I have. Yeah, it's kind of creepy
Unknown: purgatory for this guy. five daughters. straight to
heaven. And by the way, I say to every young man thinking of
getting married, married to a family of five or more
daughters. I did my wife's oldest of five sisters. You know
why? One of them was always loved. And not to say one one of
them was always on your side. That's the biggest advantage and
married and have five daughters.
Adam Curry: This creepy, he's creepy. It's creepy.
John C Dvorak: What is he saying? What is he telling us
here? That
Adam Curry: you should marry a woman who has The sisters I
guess has
John C Dvorak: four sisters or more. I would assume or one of
one of them will love you. Yeah, not necessarily the same one.
No. Which means he's having set he has sex with one of his
wives, sisters. That's what it tells me that he is that for a
good good, good Catholic boy. He is a sinner.
Adam Curry: You think, Wow, big revelation. Stop the presses
Biden is a sinner. The prop bets are in for the debate, we have
the odds for which drug? President Biden was positive for
we have. Now when it says plus 200 What does that mean?
John C Dvorak: That means if you bet $200 You win 100. I know I
know of two is plus $201. If you bet, if you bet $1. You get two
back so you get three back.
Adam Curry: All right, so that's Adderall a 200. Cocaine at 400
PCP or angel dust at 600 By the way, this is from a bet online.
Ketamine 1000. Now Viagra 1500 I'm surprised
John C Dvorak: they're not gonna test anybody for drugs. So this
betting thing what Okay, here's the question I have when I saw
this list if they don't know I bet yeah. Do I get my money back
of a test effort takes place? I don't think so. Probably
Adam Curry: not probably not. Probably not.
John C Dvorak: I'll take the long shot.
Adam Curry: This is kind of a little bit off the wall but in
the in the category of post traumatic syndrome disorder. But
what other what word softening have we had throughout the ages?
Women's Health Care, reproductive health care what
other what other we should
John C Dvorak: make? We should have a list. Concise list
euphemism
Adam Curry: euphemisms that you feel euphemisms
John C Dvorak: as the
Adam Curry: word Illinois has just passed a new euphemism law
on
Unknown: Tuesday, Bill 4409 passed in the state senate 34 to
20. Question Is
Adam Curry: your house bill 4409. Pass all those in favor
vote aye. Aye. Opposed nay the voting is open.
Unknown: The proposed legislation would remove the
term offender and replace it with the justice impacted
individual for individuals in the state's adult redeploy
Illinois program commonly referred to as a ri. According
to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information authority. MRI is an
initiative that divert offenders from prison to programs to help
rehabilitate them to success. Republicans say the language
change portrays a lack of empathy for victims and lack of
concern for public safety,
change this change that the only thing that you don't want to
change is the behavior of criminals. And guess who's
paying for that right now? Victims all across this state? I
urge a no vote.
How about that? I love that. I
John C Dvorak: love how they change. Yes, this impacted
individual Yes,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I've been impacted by justice. Yeah, I'm
in jail. I've been impacted by justice. Yeah, gender affirming
care. That was the other one. Of course, that was the big
euphemism. Yah, yah, yah. Yah. Yah, yah. Yah. But, but but
whatever you do keep the 10 commandments out of schools.
Because that's going to hurt children. That's really going to
hurt children.
John C Dvorak: You have kids playing adultery to him? Yeah.
Adam Curry: Janet Yellen is in Italy today. And Italy yet? What
do you think she's discussing with her counterparts? The g7
finance ministers? Well, it's
Unknown: this focus now turns to your meeting in Italy with the
g7 finance ministers and the frozen Russian assets. Yes, we
know those assets are not going to be seized altogether and
gifted to Ukraine. This talk, though, that alone could be
given to bring forward future profits to give more money to
Ukraine now to the tune of 40 $50 billion. Is that
something you support?
Yes, I think that's a possibility. I believe it's
important for the g7 to work together to show united front
and to show that we can generate meaningful resources to support
Ukraine over the next several years in while America stands
behind Ukraine, and why expect Congress, if necessary, will
pass future packages. Ukraine has substantial needs and being
able to marshal significant resources to help Ukraine is
important. And that's one way to do it. I understand that today.
European Union took the final step in improving The plan by
which windfall profits that are being earned on Russian Russian
assets? Now
Adam Curry: listen to this, this is about euro clear listen to
the words that say using regarding interest and making
money or not. I mean, it's very confusing here in Euro
Unknown: clear that they will be dedicated for Ukraine's use. And
the plan that you mentioned would essentially bring forward
that flow of interest proceeds from the assets that do not
belong to Russia. The question assets are not earning interest
anymore, but they are generating returns for Euro clear.
Adam Curry: How, okay, so it's just the Russian money that's in
Euro clear is not generating any money. But somehow Euro clear is
going to be taking the interest earned on that money and sending
it to Ukraine. Yeah, this is a mistake.
John C Dvorak: They're stealing money. Yes, loans
Unknown: could be given to Ukraine that would be repaid
over several years by that flow of interest. Oh,
Adam Curry: it's a loan. I see over that flow of this is a big
mistake. And this is why Russia and China they're trying to get
their own. The BRICS, they're going to try and get their own
money together. Not something that happens overnight will take
decades probably. But this is dumb. This is dumb. I don't
think Janet Yellen is hates America. Um, she is she just
wants the dollar to break apart. I think she's an agent of change
for some for maybe the Chinese. How can we have someone so dumb
doing these things?
John C Dvorak: To us the head of the Fed for a while?
Adam Curry: Yeah, great job.
John C Dvorak: I think under Trump. No. Was she under trolled
by Trump or Obama could have been Obama.
Adam Curry: I think maybe she maybe she might have been? She
might have been under Trump. I'm thinking but no. But anyway,
John C Dvorak: she she was I think she definitely worked
under Trump for a while and then he got rid of her. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Because she's, she's dumb. This makes no sense.
The here's here's Now interesting things are
happening. The the Fitz 21 Act was passed by the House. Here's
Tom Emmer, which always gives me a chuckle because Emmer is
bucket in Dutch. So here's Tom bucket to talk about. Thank you,
Mr. Speaker. Today, we have an opportunity to determine whether
the next iteration of the internet will be designed by
Americans, or if it will, instead reflect the values of
some other nation. The fit 21 Act gives us that opportunity
and unlocks a larger conversation beyond innovation.
This bill is about national security. It's about consumer
protection. It's about global competitiveness. It's about
shaping what every future global digital economy looks like and
how it functions. Currently, all online transactions are
intermediate. But as we move deeper into the digital age,
digital assets are key to decentralizing the internet. So
Americans can transact directly with each other. Now, no income
intermediary needed. Without cryptid. We all have this
ability. And I think giving Americans the choice to do
business through an intermediary or directly with each other is
important. Having that choice will fundamentally alter the
digital economy unlocking new opportunities for Americans and
individuals across the world in ways we haven't even begun to
contemplate. However, this Congress can no longer stand by
US regulators squander this opportunity right within our
grasp. This administration has demonstrated they simply are not
willing to allow the digital asset industry to innovate in
the United States. For every legal inconsistency or
regulatory hurdle they produce. Instead of coherent and informed
guidance, they drive American digital asset users into less
safe jurisdictions. That's why the fit 21 Act is significant.
So this clears the way for central bank digital currency,
but it also cleared the past. I mean, it has to pass the Senate
and, of course, the President has to sign it. But you can have
your own bitcoin wallet. You don't have to have it connected
to your bank. You can create services that have Bitcoin
wallets, you can help transfer, I should say digital assets, but
I just think of Bitcoin. You can have services that transfer that
pass through payments. It's really good for innovation, bad
for the dollar. Good.
John C Dvorak: Innovation has helped the IRS I'm not seeing
it.
Adam Curry: That's what the beauty is. I'd say. It's not
it's not they didn't pass it. They must hate the IRS. It
passed overwhelmingly in the house House
John C Dvorak: Well, what was the votes? It was overwhelming.
That means a bunch of Democrats had to vote for a 71
Adam Curry: voted against mostly Democrats. All the rest voted
for.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're up to something but to
Adam Curry: be honest about it that the you know, a wallet is
just a metaphor, there's no wallet, all you're doing all a
wallet is is just making signing cryptographically signing
something, you know, you don't get any money. It's not like,
you know, like money trickles into some thing, like a pocket
book. So if you can do encrypted email, you should be able to do
an encrypted signing of a transaction.
John C Dvorak: All right, I guess that's interesting. It is
to me. Here's something that we would be good to go that this is
interesting to me. All right, and PR at best.
Unknown: Okay. maxtow once lived on the streets of Fairhaven,
Vermont, but he receives an honorary doctorate this morning
at Vermont State University Casselton Max may have some
faults but he's really a pussycat. A Tabby public radio
reports. The ones feral kitten taken in by a woman named Ashley
DOE has become part of university life over the past
five years. He's posed for photography classes, he's hitch
rides on backpacks and been a general source of campus cheer.
Ashley Tao told Vermont public radio she's encouraged students
to bring Mac's home if they see him out after five. And students
did actually bring him home. She says I'll get text messages from
random students. It's like he's okay. He's up by the greenhouse.
A school announcement on Instagram says Max's Doctor of
Literature degree comes quote complete with all catnip perks,
scratching post privileges and litterbox responsibilities that
come with it. Don't invite max to a CAGR to celebrate this
weekend. He's still not 21.
Adam Curry: So let me just get this straight. You compare one
of the most important financial innovations in our life to
John C Dvorak: get Ovation Oh, yeah. Well, when the getting a
phony baloney degree in literature, why literature? Or
is it litter litter?
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, when the IRS comes for your money,
they'll get it. They'll have to they'll have to pry it out of my
cold hand my dead hands.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm just that that clip is really just
saying what a degree is worth in today's world.
Adam Curry: Well, not like our PhDs is a little different. I
John C Dvorak: think those are valuable, very valuable.
Adam Curry: I'd say indeed.
John C Dvorak: I have some random clips I can play or I can
play a series of clips on Mar a Lago case.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the moral Lago I'd like to hear that the MAR a
Lago case is kind of interesting, because it seems I
don't know if if we learn anything new, but it seems like
a there was some coined the phrase trumped up documents that
were shipped over there. Second. Trump is using this to campaign
by saying that the FBI wanted to shoot him.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, it's all good stuff. I have two ways
I can go with this. There's a bunch of clips, but I'm only
gonna I'm going to run these which are the more complex where
there's three clips the one a two a and three A, skip the
other ones. Start with one A,
Unknown: we've been hearing a lot about Donald Trump's
criminal trial in New York for making hush money payments.
Well, while that one's on pause through the long weekend,
lawyers for Trump and two co defendants appeared in a Florida
court today. In that case, the former president is charged with
taking classified and top secret material to mar a Lago when he
left the White House, then conspiring to hide those
documents from federal investigators and peers. Greg
Allen is at the courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida. Hey, Greg.
Hi. Alright. Tell us what happened in court today.
Well, defense attorneys asked US District Judge Eileen cannon to
dismiss the charges against their clients. They say this
case is politically motivated. The prosecution is quote
selective and vindictive. Federal former President Trump
wasn't here today, but he skipped the session but his two
co defendants were here. The court heard two motions both
filed by Trump's aide Walt Nauta. Now is charged with
moving boxes containing classified documents to
different locations at Mar a Lago in an alleged attempt to
hide them from federal investigators and then lying
about it afterwards. Not as attorney Stanley Woodward told
the judge he believes his client is being prosecuted because he
refused to cooperate with the government's case against his
boss. When not to refuse to be a witness against Trump. Woodward
says prosecutors retaliated by in his words, shoehorning him
into the indictment of the former president, Judge cannon
who's a Trump appointee, you know, and has been criticized
for some rulings in favor. The defense scheme seemed skeptical
a day she said, Isn't that a fairly standard way to try to
get attorneys to convince a client to cooperate?
Adam Curry: This is really now seems pretty Standard. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it turns out that they threatened this attorney.
And one of them said to the attorney, look, here you are up
for a judgeship. If you don't get this guy to roll over on
Trump. You're never gonna get that judgeship. And so this case
is falling apart
Adam Curry: at the yes at all. All seems
John C Dvorak: not to mention the New York case, which is
really dumb. But let's go bed clip to hear
Unknown: running theme here across these trials. It sounds
like there were some testing moments in the courtroom. Tell
us about them
test the moments. Yes.
Not nothing like we saw in New York, but But it's much for us.
There was a lot of attention devoted to a meeting in August
of 2022 between prosecutor J brat and Stanley Woodward who
just came on as not as attorney Woodward said he was under
consideration for a federal judicial appointment at the
time, and that Brad mentioned it at the meeting. Woodward says he
believes it was intended to send him a message that he should
convince his client to cooperate with the investigation. Or in
his words, it could mess up his potential judgeship. Prosecutor
David Harbach, who was talking to the judge about this called
that description of the meeting of fantasy, and that Brad's
passing comments were being taken out of context. He became
agitated at one point when Judge cannon pressed him on the issue,
and she had to admonish him to calm down and
tell us about the motion to dismiss that was argued today.
What was that about?
Adam Curry: Well,
Unknown: the motion was involved all three co defendants, not as
lawyer Stanley Woodward made a technical argument, as he termed
it, that focuses on how the indictment is worded and she
encouraged the judge to throw out several counts. One example
where two counts in which now to in Mar a Lago property manager
Carlos del Lovera, are charged with attempting to get the clubs
it supervisor to delete video footage from surveillance
cameras. The IT guy said he couldn't do it and the footage
wasn't deleted. But because of that, Woodward says no crime was
committed. It was just a conversation. He said it's not
illegal to talk about something.
John C Dvorak: Mm hmm. Yeah, it just gets more and more
complicated. We that's why we haven't been covering it. Yeah.
Well, yeah. 1/3 clip here. Okay.
Unknown: trial was supposed to have started this week, the
judge indefinitely postponed the start date any idea of when it
might actually get underway? No,
no sign of that at this point. There are by my count nearly a
dozen motions filed by Trump's lawyers still pending before the
court. The judge has also yet has to have important hearings
on how classified material will be handled. She said she's going
to take up that issue in July, which makes it eight months
behind schedule, and beginning looking less and less likely
that the trial will begin before the presidential election. And
of course, if Trump wins, because it's a federal case,
he'd have the power to shut down the Department of Justice case.
Adam Curry: What a waste. What a waste of energy, waste of
airtime.
John C Dvorak: The money, the waste of money. The Wall
Adam Curry: Street Journal, had an overview of the median age of
television networks.
John C Dvorak: Of the network's Yes, I mean, the viewers.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Yes. Of the viewership of and these are
cable networks. I'd like you to give a little just guess. What
do you think the median age is? Of those watching MSNBC?
John C Dvorak: I would say 5069.
Adam Curry: Fox News.
John C Dvorak: I would say that's got to be 7568. Source.
Fox News is younger. Who
Adam Curry: surprises me CNN?
John C Dvorak: Well, I'd have to say 70. No, no.
Adam Curry: 66. Now, here's here's the kicker. M test
John C Dvorak: the median age median age, which everyone
should listen to. We might should probably explain that.
Yes, median versus average. Good idea. Yes, median is that means
that number that you have just as many above that age as there
are below, right? So if you have a lot of people who are 12 years
old that are or are watching them, that would should drop the
median age. But if the median age is something that high, that
means there's a lot of really old people listening, the
average is you just take all of them and you add them all up,
and then you divide by that number, which is always
different than median. I
Adam Curry: think it would probably be lower if you took
the average age. But what what got me was MTV, median age,
John C Dvorak: higher than we think 50 To
Adam Curry: the median age of people watching MTV where they
watch teen pregnancy reality shows. Right? And we're worried
and we're worried about the 10 commandments in school we're
lost as a nation. were lost as a nation. Here's speaking of old
people. Here's the old people channel MSNBC, with the former
FBI Director James Comey. Who sounds worried about Trump
becoming president? One of the principal points of danger
within the Justice Department, if there's another Trump
presidency, given his nature, given what you know about him,
he is a threat to the rule of law in America. That's, to me,
that's what this election is about, not about policy
differences is about what kind of country we're going to be. If
he has the ability, smarter than he was last time to use the
power of the Department of Justice and the FBI to target
his enemies, especially the rule of law in America will change in
a way we haven't seen in our lifetime. When you say target
his enemies. How would he do that? Well, I think first thing
he would do is he would express it in his first term as a wish I
want people to go after so and so I want people to go after
Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, in a second
term, he would go a step further, I'm highly confident
and say I want him criminally investigated. And he would have
he was close to the bottom of the barrel in his appointees
last time, he'll be at the very bottom. And those are the people
who carry out that order. Yeah, sounds like somebody's worried.
He
John C Dvorak: sounds very worried and he shouldn't be
probably.
Adam Curry: And then this is the way
John C Dvorak: by the way, I want to mention some This was
actually a good, this could be used and he just, I think did it
by accident. But did but to use the pitch. This has to be the
pitch Trump is he's been an officer for years before now
he's smarter. When he said, Yeah, now he's smarter. So he's
more he can be more evil. He's already
Adam Curry: talking about the second term. These people are so
convinced. And of course this which I'm pretty convinced this
was a plant. I think it was well done. I think this is a chalk it
up as a as a win for the for the Biden team. It doesn't make any
difference, but I think it was well done.
Unknown: Former president and Trump address reporters today
outside of the courtroom, but offered no comment on the
incendiary, controversial video posted to his social media
account. What happens after Donald Trump wins? The video
showed hypothetical headlines of an imagined Trump victory this
fall with one asking what's next for America, and three times
suggesting the creation of a unified Reich, a term widely
associated with Nazi Germany, President Biden released this
campaign video response
and unified Reich that's Hitler's language that's not
America's he cares about holding on to power.
This kind of rhetoric is unsurprising coming from the
former president and it is appalling. And we got to tell
him who we are. It's time
Trump has used rhetoric prompting outrage for its echoes
of hateful extremists. On Saturday at the NRA convention,
he mused about the possibility of staying on for a third term,
FDR
16 years, almost 16 years he was fourth term. I don't know are we
going to be considered three term or two terms?
The Trump campaign has taken down the video and blamed a
quote, Junior staffer for sharing the material which was
first published elsewhere.
Adam Curry: I'm thinking that was a plant because you really
had to zoom in on the Third Reich headline it was it was
good. I think it was. Well,
John C Dvorak: I agree. I think somebody someone did a good a
good dirty tricks. This is dirty tricks, party politics, and this
was some Democrat did that. That's why they got on it. So
quick. Well done. Is
Adam Curry: everything good to go. Now, what does what tell me
about FDR with 16 years, What's all that about?
John C Dvorak: Who FDR was was elected president, and he was
then he was reaffirmed to get a second term and they got a third
term, then he got a fourth term that would give him 16 years in
office. It was FDR that created the amendment that you can't
run. Oh, okay. Okay. That's That's what I was because he was
in for 16 years. Well, you died in the last of the of the years,
but he was basically elected for 16 years. And if the Democrats
would have just kept him in there, that's the idea. And it
was they had to be stopped. So they put the dissent. I mean, it
did people talked about if that wasn't for that, that amendment,
Obama would still be and still be the president. He still
Adam Curry: is he still is
John C Dvorak: talking about he's still my thinking. Okay, a
little
Adam Curry: update on the Iranian president I like the
what you said in the newsletter that the you know, the thesis
that these are all guys that they wanted out of the way
anyway, including the the bombing of the so called embassy
or consular building or whatever they are, which is just in
Damascus, these are annoying people get rid of them. So when
we got the news that there was a hard landing. This was before we
knew anything this was on Sunday. We immediately said
there's no such thing. This is a crash. It's all over and that is
confirmed tonight
Unknown: the wreckage of the fiery crash that killed Iran's
President and its foreign minister in a region already
rocked by instability and rocky crews reaching the remote scene
today. The hardline leader of America's long standing
adversary dead sudden, by accident today in the streets of
Tehran men openly wept for President racy, seen as a
potential successor to Iran's aging Supreme Leader. At some
Iranian embassies in the West opponents celebrated the US
tonight says there are no signs of outside interference and
saying Iran's government reached out for help during the rescue
effort. Ultimately,
largely for logistical reasons we weren't able to provide that
assistance.
Today as a friend by fellow presidents Putin and Xi, Hamas,
sending its sympathies since the October 7 terror attacks, Iran's
proxies have launched multiple offensives escalating the
tension in the region, and tonight's from Teflon, an
adviser to the government telling NBC News not to expect
policy changes. Despite the unexpected death, Lester Holt
sat down with me last year in what was among his last
interviews with Western media, you see, telling Lester, the
billions of dollars unfrozen during a deal with the US in
exchange for five American prisoners were Tech brands to us
as it wanted always nice
Adam Curry: to have NBCs mi six correspondent check in we
appreciate that. One of our producers sent me a couple of
clips from this podcast called the Unpopular Opinions podcast
the thing that hosts his dad is an Iranian aviation engineer,
and his dad had some kind of inside. I won't say it's inside
knowledge, but kind of confirmed some of the thesis that we've
been talking about and I want to play two of those clips. If the
weather
Unknown: is bad, the protocol is to delay or cancel the flight,
and then proceed on road for a three hour drive and reroute the
flight. Rumor has it at the last minute something went wrong with
the VIP chopper, which had the sophisticated signalling the
transponders, etc. And so at the very last minute, they swapped
the lead craft with a different helicopter, by the way, never
Adam Curry: a good idea.
John C Dvorak: So basically the whole that's a great one I'll
Adam Curry: never ever get in the swapped out helicopter. So
basically,
Unknown: they have this official VIP helicopter ready to go. And
at the last minute, they switched it with a with a worse
one which didn't have all those, all those features. Then false
statements started from the authorities such as a it was a
hard landing, and we have spoken to them when they got to them
the following day. No mobile phone could get any signals. So
that was a blatant lie told. Turkish authorities were asked
to send to specialist drones, which located the wreck early
the following morning and check their system and no signals were
received from the downed choppers, transponders, GSP
transmitters or the sat nav and see Kamini the Ayatollah, the
Supreme Leader made a speech only a couple of hours after it
happened. He was as cool as a cucumber, prayed for their safe
return, and said not to worry if they don't come back because
everything is in hand.
Adam Curry: So the guy reading this, I mean, he's all over the
map with the technical aspects. None of that makes much sense.
Instead of GPS, he says GSP and a transponder is not a very
sophisticated piece of gear. But I'm going to take the helicopter
swap out of something that was probably true. And then this
final clip is about the internal politics, which goes to your
point about and we kind of wanted him out anyway, this is
Unknown: where things get a little bit interesting because
this president Raizy was a hardline conservative now in the
internal politics of Iran. That basically means he was going
places within the party, if that makes any sense. He was going to
have to go far. And in the Iranian system, to The Guardian
Council basically gets to decide who will be the successor to the
Supreme Leader raise even though he's the president now was
tipped to become the head of the Guardian Council, which would
then have been responsible for picking the successor to
Khamenei and this is where the plot thickens even more friends,
because razie was also tip to become the supreme leader
himself, ie he would get on to the Guardian Council and then
back himself to replace Kamini. Once Khamenei pops his clogs
because he's in his 80s Now, offices clogged and here is the
final clincher. The hardcore was in the Islamic Revolutionary
Guards, and apparently Khamenei himself Have you want a
different person to replace Khomeini, namely, Khamenei, his
own son, Khamenei, Jr. Let's just call him his son. A lot of
people are suggesting that it could have been either the
hardcores in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, or Khamenei
himself who wanted to off basically a rival who was
threatening to you know scupper their succession. This is lent
extra credence because who is in charge of security protocols for
things like presidential journeys on helicopters? None
other than the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
themselves? Done.
Adam Curry: Sounds more plausible to me than what I read
everywhere online. Mossad Mossad more shot No, no, I don't think
so. I'll go with the swap out the helicopter and kill them.
For 500. Alex,
John C Dvorak: that's obvious. That's what's going on. And the
other guy there, Disraeli shoot that other character, which was
another piece of theater, followed by though let's attack
Israel with a few.
Adam Curry: I'm not even sure so I'm not even sure it was it was
Israel that did the Syria job. We may have done it. Remember,
we always hear that there's a lot of collusion between America
and Iran. Yes,
John C Dvorak: you're right. It's possible. Any any? Yes. We
could have done it. Yeah. Hey, can you guys set up to make it
your day had to have a scenario and this was so for all
practical purposes, Israel did it. Because that resulted in the
missile missile exchange, where were our Iran sensing missiles
overall, we missed the Iron Dome. And then say, we got to
retaliate. And they sent some other missiles the other way
inland in the desert. To bad who Oh, well, we've had a shot at
it. All right, you know, bull crowd,
Adam Curry: right? Did you catch our check yet from the Zionist
got to make sure we cash our check,
John C Dvorak: get a check from them. Unfortunately, we get some
serious money be coming from our own State Department and our
intelligence services should be donating more.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my school by donate to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be
fun.
Adam Curry: Yeah, unfortunately, that's not happening. But we do
have no agenda producers who support us and we appreciate
every single one of them. We thank our Executive Associate
Executive Producers earlier and now John will take us through
the $50 where we mentioned name and location and sometimes a

promote them. We play your reports. We of course we have
sir Daniel who built a beautiful website, no agenda, meet
ups.com. Maybe who manages this. It's actually quite a lot of
logistics. But we love how people get together. I'm just
talking about stuff. And we've never heard of any fractious any
fight any disagreement at a meeting ever in all the 17 years
or most of the show. Because for some reason, y'all just have
y'all. Y'all just have kind of the same vibe about life. And
even though people are different, and you come from
different backgrounds and different age groups, it just
works because we're a community. You can't spell community
without unity. And that's what they have. They're in Keene New

Adam Curry: We'll see. Everybody we always like to end up the

much they hate the segment. We're doing it to pester you
Okay, John, what do we have for the segment? Oh, there are
people just they will send me an email. Good news sucks.
John C Dvorak: The haters gotta hate. Yeah, Taylor. That's
right. Okay. This is a high schooler who saves his father
just in time for his own graduation. Families
Unknown: are getting ready to celebrate high school graduation
in the coming days and the coming weeks but what for one
Virginia father and some it's a celebration. They were so close
to never sharing our Northern Virginia reporter Maximus.
Philip has their stories from Warrington, right have learned
his father Jovis is any ordinary day it's dinnertime after
school, a moment between a father and a son. He's
a lot more responsible In a average teenager,
and that is quite the understatement, is capable of
that something he didn't even know. This was Thanksgiving in
the very same kitchen. Hours before his dad had a heart
attack read says it all happened so fast. His dad came downstairs
said he wasn't feeling well told his son to call 911. And then he
collapsed falling face first in the kitchen, eventually lying in
a pool of his own blood. That's when read jumped into action.
I wasn't panicking. I wasn't freaking out. It was just all
the adrenaline was like, do what you got to do
with the guidance of the 911 operator read started CPR,
doctors told him he helped save the life of the man who has
guided him being
an ex law enforcement officer who's given CPR to someone
before I can understand how difficult that was to do with a
stranger. I can't imagine what he was going through having to
do it with me,
right graduates from cattle run high school this weekend, his
dad will be there to celebrate with him because of
him is a very special moment. And I'm very, very happy that
I'm here to see
my dad is the most important person in my life. I'm just
honored that I could do something for him. And it
doesn't feel like it's
nearly as much as what he's done for me. But, you know, I was
just doing something for a moment, a moment that allowed
for more moments this father and son nearly never got to share in
warranted. I love them very much next morcilla DC News Now,
Adam Curry: I'm a little conflicted by this good news
segment. Yeah. Why? Because it's gory keels over face first blood
on the floor, and then the kid goes, Oh, maybe I should do
something. Because that's why I said that Danny sprang into
action. I'm a little conflicted. I could use a little more
rainbows and butterflies next time.
John C Dvorak: You are more dogs stories.
Unknown: Good news. Good news. Good news. Good news.
Adam Curry: That's right. Dog stories rock. Oreo squirrels or
whatever kitten in a tree. How come the where's the good old
kitten in a tree? dirty feet up.
John C Dvorak: It's always 30 feet up.
Adam Curry: We have a best of climate change no agenda. I
think you will enjoy it. It is we never got past show 100
barely past show 100 And you will hear a lot of things that
are at the bedrock of this nonsense. Things that even we
have long. Yes, my ground formula is long since forgotten
how it all got started and you will be reminded it's all bad.

My name is Joe Biden. I work for Kamala Harris.
Joe is looking cool. He's gone big time standing proud rising
in some polls.
Like my day pal.
And with drugs provided by the White House physician will calm
down a young guy. Joe now has a whopping boost of confidence.
For sure, Capitol Hill, stiff in his determination and his living
large with an enormous swelling of pride. When
I was vice president things are kind of bad during the pandemic,
and he
just lacks the one thing every man deserves a somewhat semi
functioning brain.
Every four years we have this little thing called an erection.
Drugs from the White House are not available in stores but
perhaps through a phone call to Hunter Biden or a White House
staffer. You may get a trial pack. Here is testimonial from
someone who did just that. Joe Biden
gave me the courage to admit that I am in fact erection I
think I was about 12 When I became interventionist I know
why. 13 Last night I was in directionless with my wife by
storm for capital I started as the capital domes I worked my
way down to the swamp I got greedy and I headed topology
bottom.
Drugs from the White House physician for natural manmade
science created enhancement.
