Adam Curry: Hey Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. February 14 2020 ones
it's your award winning give nation media assassination
episode 1321 This is no agenda COVID kissing and broadcasting
live from opportunity's own 33 Here in the frontier of Austin,
Texas Capitol on the drone Star State. In the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C. Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where we just
found out Trump got acquitted. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Unknown: Raglan Buzzkill.
Adam Curry: Leaving you just found out where are you
yesterday?
John C. Dvorak: We just found out here in California just
fine. Yeah. They just told us recently, I
Adam Curry: was not expecting much. But when the defense
started and the goomba came out and started playing Super cuts,
I was in my elements.
John C. Dvorak: You have the super cuts. Oh, John, these
Adam Curry: were 14 minutes. Super cuts. Yeah, they're too
long. And a lot of them we had already played in fact, I
suspect perhaps some of them had been
John C. Dvorak: appropriated. I think the one yeah, maybe not
from I think the other way around. Honestly, I think the
ones I think the ones that we played are probably tighter.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, the stuff that the stuff that they
did so well. Was and I think in any trial, certainly, you know,
if you present evidence, and the Defense says well, you know,
hey, these these something's been doctored here. And then
holy crap for the first time, MSNBC and CNN. And of course,
Fox played the entire very fine people clip in its entirety. All
four and a half minutes. That was fantastic. Because no one
knew what to do with it.
John C. Dvorak: This is good. Yeah. Well, Trump's out so now
we can play that clip. The clip that Biden ran on, I want to
play a clip.
Adam Curry: And that's what if I can just say that's what the
Philly guy missed. He should have first if you're doing clips
Anyway, do it. He should have had a couple clips of Biden
saying that was the moment that made me want to run for
president that guy that very fine people. That's what he
should have done. But no. Anyway, no, no one saw it. It
was just it was a personal little thing for us.
John C. Dvorak: So I got a late I got a late clip which came in
I think it'd be a good one to start with. Okay, which is the
Vander lien, whatever the guy's name
Adam Curry: is. This is this is full interview from CBS N.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, no, I don't have the full interview.
Oh, okay. I
Adam Curry: have bits from that. Maybe it's the same thing we'll
see. It doesn't matter. No,
John C. Dvorak: I'm sure it's the same thing. Is this Lana?
Zack?
Adam Curry: I don't remember who the the news model is.
John C. Dvorak: She's disgusting.
Adam Curry: Okay, no, yeah, it's got to be the same one I
remember.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I just have this segment. And then if
you have some stuff that dads too, because I didn't. I
couldn't clip maybe three or four clips out of it. But I got
the I got the one long one in the middle where she she? It's
unbelievable to me that she says it's what she says, generally
speaking, the plate.
Unknown: Well throughout throughout the trial, you denied
that Mr. Trump had a role in inciting the January 6
insurrection at the Capitol you argued first of all, that there
was no insurrection. But during your closing arguments, you
seemingly admitted that there was in fact an insurrection
using that word saying that that was not up for debate. What role
did the former president play? You didn't understand the case?
I use the word give you the opportunity to clarify, sir.
Sure.
I use the word insurrection in my closing argument when quoting
the charging documents. What happened at the Capitol on
January 6 is absolutely horrific. But what happened at
the Capitol during this trial was not too far away from that.
Prosecutors in this case doctored evidence. They did not
investigate this case. And when they had to come to the court of
the Senate to put their case on, because they hadn't done any
investigation. They doctored evidence. It was absolutely
shocking, I think when when we discovered it, and we were able
to expose it and put it out. I think it turned a lot of
senators, the American people should not be putting up with
this. They need to look at who who these house managers were
and look to see whether these are the folks they want
representing them. It was absolutely it was shocking to me
when I believed
let's follow up with with the point that you're making right
now about the house manners. There is, as you say, doctoring
evidence and, and the argument
of yours. They didn't deny it.
Viewers, what you're what you're talking about now is is a check
mark. That's a verification on Twitter that that did not exist
on that particular tweet. Uh 2020. That should have actually
read 2021. And the selective editing you say of the tapes is
that
that's not enough for you. That's not enough for you. Wait,
wait, wait, no, no, no.
I'm not a urine this trial. What I'm here for our viewers is what
you
Adam Curry: just got to interrupt for one second.
Throughout this whole thing. She's talking to talk about her
viewers. Lady. It's CBS N. You have no viewers. The only
viewers you got is the people who were playing this for right
now.
John C. Dvorak: Stop it why you stopped it. I want to mention a
couple of things before we continue. That went on in there.
Yeah. One is she keeps saying you say
Adam Curry: you say you should have said you claim. And then
when
John C. Dvorak: she's talked about the insurrection at the
beginning, she said then you use the term and said it was not up
for debate. He didn't call her out on that part. No. He called
her out in the front fender. All he was doing was quoting the but
he never said it was not up for debate whether it was an
insurrection this woman and unfortunately, what you can't
see here, she's been with CBS for almost 15 years as far as I
can tell. And usually in this kind of a role. She's smirking,
and she's smiling and they kept it because CBSN has no budget to
speak of they have a two box with her on the left and him on
the right. And they never really cut through it. Well, it's
theirs. They have no director, she has to press the pedal
herself and afford it. She has to press the pedal, so they
can't cut away from her. So she's always on screen. Yeah.
And this is a mistake, because she should be on radio because
she's doing she's marking she's got that big grin. As though
she's winning this some debate that's not existent.
Adam Curry: For her viewers,
John C. Dvorak: for her viewer,
Adam Curry: streaming, it's online, isn't it? It's not a
real station.
John C. Dvorak: It can't. It's online. But you can I think you
can get it through some of the spots. Roku may have it but it's
coming on. It is not being broadcast. Yes.
Adam Curry: This is not the number one choice for news. No
worse the number one choice to ridicule what what isn't
explained here is as a part of that evidence. There was this
picture of Jamie Raskin with you know, Jamie Raskin just has
that. He just,
John C. Dvorak: he just, you know, douchebag Yeah, it's easy.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he even brought up his dead kid
John C. Dvorak: breeze dead kid
Adam Curry: again. Which is sad. But you know, it's like, oh,
thank you again, for, you know, for all your well wishes today.
What's
John C. Dvorak: it got to do with Trump to Trump's fault,
Adam Curry: but he was in front of a computer monitor where that
2020 tweet was that was doctored and didn't doctored. I mean
things that you can it's really easy to change that if you view
source and then you can save it. It's kind of fun to do. That was
Raskin in front of this falsified evidence. That was the
best part one of the house managers and did they not just
bring the weakest of the week, but we'll talk about that in a
minute. Let me let me finish up with the doctored evidence and
now we're going back to where he's calling her out for just
kind of talking about that cavalierly.
Unknown: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait enough for you. That's not enough for
you. Wait, wait, wait, no.
I'm not a urine this trial. What I'm trying to be clear for our
viewers is what you what you're following. It's not okay. Not
everybody. Fully. I have not said it is okay. Your question.
I want to be clear for our viewer. Listen, what happened is
where it's about doctored evidence,
the media has to start telling the right story in this country.
The media is trying to divide this country, you are blood
thirsty for ratings. And as such, you're asking questions
now that are already set up with a fact pattern. I can't believe
you would ask me a question indicating that it's all right.
Just to Doctor a little bit of evidence. There's more stuff
that we uncovered that they doctored to be frank with you.
Adam Curry: What a canard on behalf of the of the house
managers. That was so easy to do that. To figure out
John C. Dvorak: what Oh, interesting. Let's stop for one
second. Take care Look at what the what our show is actually
all about. I was thinking about this listening to this clip and
the whole thing is actually even better people should go check it
out like eight minutes or so but, but since with COVID timing
when they showed the phony hospitalization stuff at the
beginning of this whole epidemic at the hospitals and all the
ambulances, this was doctored evidence. And then the normal
people from that YouTubers, the youtubers went out there and
showed there's nobody here and they went into the hospitals and
there was nobody there. The ambulance thing was phony, and
Biden went and the very fine people hoax as doctored evidence
is bullcrap. And the whole thing has been putting in media is all
in on the whole thing. And then if you go all the way back, what
happened to that and what happened to that FBI lawyer who
doctored evidence, when they asked us for a CIA report, got
it. She got laid off. He got laid off. He he doctored
evidence to go after Trump and it was doctored at the level of
the FBI, and this guy's out. And if we go all the way back, let's
go all the way back to East Anglia and climate gate. And the
fact that that was docked and we're doctoring evidence about
climate change. This is the whole thing is doctored
evidence. It's like everything we get is nothing but doctored
evidence. They will give us the facts. What is going on John
Cena
Unknown: for X Viva today.
Adam Curry: Good night everybody. Great show John.
John C. Dvorak: Hello East Anglia.
Adam Curry: Yes, I will recount for everyone that the I believe
it was the guardian. That could be wrong. But it was a major
newspaper in the UK. Said children will not no snow by the
turn of bite. What was it? 2020 12 I think at the time will
not no snow by 2012. It will only be in snow globes. Ladies
and gentlemen. I have 28 degrees and white stuff on the ground in
Texas, Texas. Oh my goodness. There's so much to talk about on
that regard. It's you know, Adam, Curtis has famous Adam
Curtis documentarian has a new documentary out? Have you seen
it yet?
John C. Dvorak: Have you heard of it? No, no, I have lost track
of him.
Adam Curry: Oh my goodness, it came out two days ago. It is six
hours. It's six episodes. It's it's very broad, but it kind of
tracks all of these global institutions and systems and it
tracks it kind of parallels. So we see how Mao comes up and see
what's happening in the US and I've only seen three episodes so
far. But there's so much that then comes down to the problem
with money in the system. The banking system the politicians
are an integral part of that no wonder this some of these
millennials are trying to figure out what to do with Bitcoin.
It's like everything is phony and fake everything and and we
just get called conspiracy theorist
John C. Dvorak: because no conspiracy theory with with with
the notable docket doctored evidence in the case against
Trump and the guy says would probably even more says there's
more. Yeah. And the funny joke in there was he says, what maybe
turned a few people, because once they breached the doctored
evidence, it turned one Republican against Trump. He got
seven votes against him. I thought that was pretty funny
too. And so and what are the Democrats doing this sitting on
their hands all doctored evidence is fine with
Adam Curry: me. But wait, so but whatever this exercise was, they
clearly knew that they were not going to win. That's why you put
Swalwell up there. That's why you put the representative from
the US Virgin Islands. I mean, not only is it kind of virtue
signaling, it's also just these are these are weak brothers and
sisters. Just throw them up there. Let them go. Raskin.
You're creepy. You be a part of this as well. I have two of
those super pieces of the Supercuts that Trump's lawyer or
Trump's defense team played. And this was about the use of a
familiar term that also no agenda has been on from the
beginning of this show
Unknown: are reportedly summon reportedly purportedly not
accidental. According to reports, President Trump was
reportedly who reportedly spoke to the garden
was widely reported. Media reports, according to reports
reported,
reportedly as any trial lawyer will tell you reportedly is a
euphemism for I have no real evidence. Reportedly, there's
not the standard in any American setting in which any semblance
of due process has afforded and accused reportedly isn't even
here is some circumstantial evidence is exactly as reliable
as High Google disk for you.
Adam Curry: That's the news media in a nutshell. It was
dynamite stuff. And it's just too bad. You know, this, like,
everyone broadcasts it and no one addresses it. And it's a
huge elephant in the room. Of course, we already had already
played a supercut of Democrats saying fight fight like hell, in
hindsight, if if I were the defense team, and I was going to
do something like that already, because that was something they
had to have already thought about. I would leave that out as
a partner just to get it going. I'd get that on YouTube. These
things always go viral. Yeah, I'd have someone email it to the
no agenda show that those guys play it. Now, that's how I'd run
that kind of strategy. So here's another one of these super cuts,
as everyone was bitching about the objection to the votes for
the 2020 20 election. And of course, the Democrats did the
same thing in the 2016 election,
Unknown: I have an objection because 10 of the 29 electoral
votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not lawfully
certified.
I object to the votes from the state of Wisconsin, which would
not should not be legally. Right, Mr. President, I object
to the certificate from the state of Georgia on the grounds
that the electoral vote.
There's no debate objective certificate from the state of
North Carolina,
to the 15 volts from the state of North Carolina. I object.
Adam Curry: I object to the certificate from the state of
Alabama, the electors were not lawfully certified.
Unknown: Is it
signed by a senator not as of yet, Mr. President, in that
case, the objection cannot be entertained. The objection
cannot be entertained.
Not an order valid even with a
signed by an American. And there's no debate, joint
session. No debate voting, no debate 16 There's no debate
Adam Curry: that goes on. You get the idea.
John C. Dvorak: And those are usually mentioned or all
Democrats. You can even hear a few of Nerissa Jackson was in
there. No. Yes,
Adam Curry: she Sheila Jackson Lee. And really, even the the
events on January 6, are not entirely unprecedented. I mean,
people around in the way it looked the I think that might
have been unprecedented. But one of our producers put together a
little list 2008 Homeless rights advocates protesting inside the
Capitol building. Only the
John C. Dvorak: people and there was a bunch of them that invaded
and Pelosi is obviously climate people.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, we don't even talk about that.
With her in there. Yeah. 2009 AIDS protesters had to be
removed. 2011 protests inside Office Building by Democrat
groups was that 2011 Was that the kids now that was a
different one 2016 protest of police shootings. They did a
don't shoot hands up interruption voter rights
protest. 2016 2018. The Supreme Court remember they were banging
on the Supreme Court door. They were trying to butcher trying to
break it down insurrection, I tell you insurrection. And then
at the very last minute, all CNN you saw the story CNN spiked it
Friday night. Yeah. McCarthy? Yeah, he knows that Trump, he
knew about the riots and Pence was in danger. And he said no,
now, now we're not going to do anything about it. And, and then
there was the vote for witnesses. There was the vote
for witnesses, which would be the perfect time to call
McCarthy and a number of other people and then I mean, I even
canceled going to the the meetup. I like, Oh, I gotta stay
around for this if they're going to continue with witnesses, and
this is gonna be fun. And then it was gone. And what I here's
the whole thing, because they were gonna put Pelosi on the
stand is what I what someone told me. Oh, I don't know. I
don't know why that would be it would be hilarious. That's
what's so sad. Anyway.
John C. Dvorak: Let's just let's do a show trial. You may also be
in the Soviet Union and with the fake evidence, I mean, right
there. It seems to me that just the change of the date from 2020
to 2020 by itself should be enough that by itself would say
if I was a Democrat I would have said all this this trial this
Something's just not right. I'm done. Most everybody This should
have been no votes for the impeachment after you start
seeing fake evidence. I mean, that if you were in a in a jury
in some sort of criminal case, and they exposed that the
prosecution had faked up evidence more than one piece of
evidence what would you what would you vote for acquittal or
not? You would look I'm
Adam Curry: not even sure that was in the Senate. It might have
been in a studio somewhere yeah, I didn't see that coming Did
you?
John C. Dvorak: It was all green screen. We have seen the guy
with the horns on his head.
Adam Curry: All green squares that guy. Let's listen to a few
responses from the M five M mainstream media hacks or speak
now let's see what thought of everything. This is Andrew
Mitchell on CNN
Unknown: reporting is that Trump laid into Castor or because he
did so poorly, the first day of his opening arguments. So the
way that he seems to have reacted and changed his
presentation today was to speak Trumpian. And to try to please
the client as much as possible, much more than the others didn't
say that they didn't. I mean, to me the most telling example of
that is when he said that Trump is the most anti mob violence
leader.
Adam Curry: So they were really struggling to find anything to
talk about,
John C. Dvorak: or making stuff up.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, it's great. It's nobody knows what Trump
said, All you got to do is needle drop into the channels
and you get stuff like this,
Unknown: after Trump sent that initial tweet about pence
attacking pence, White House aides, including the White House
press secretary and other top aides tried to convince Trump to
send out a more forceful tweet. In fact, I'm told by sources
that there was a general consensus behind the scenes of
this is a really bad situation. We've got to do something about
this. And so they tried to convince Trump to send something
else out to encourage people to be peaceful. And he did. He did
about 14 minutes later, when he said please support our Capitol
police and law enforcement. They're truly on the side of our
country stay peaceful, that it fits pointed to that tweet. But
here's the thing, Wolf, I'm told by sources behind the scenes,
Trump did not want to add stay peaceful at the end of that
tweet. He was very resistant to it. They weren't telling him how
bad the situation was how we needed to intervene. And so he
reluctantly begrudge the state peaceful at the end of that
tweet, but he did not initially one two and so it's worth
raising as his there on the floor, tried to lay out the
argument that he was trying to intervene and trying to create,
create calm in the midst of the violence will important point
indeed.
John C. Dvorak: Do that all the time now is four makes the whole
thing there's no evidence of this
Adam Curry: important point. Indeed, John Rawls
John C. Dvorak: believable. I'm gonna give you a borderline
because that clip is so outrageous. About mind reading.
Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, they couldn't they couldn't address I just
would have loved to have heard someone address the very fine
people. And it was cool. The way he showed is exactly what we do
when you get a clip out of context. And it's short and you
cut it off and you let it run. And then something else happens.
It was it was textbook no agenda, deconstruction? No, not
quite. He still he could have done better. And anyone who
wants to do this kind of deconstruction in Congress,
Supreme Court, could the curry divorce Consulting Group is here
for you with our 1000s of producers you want Supercuts? We
do Supercuts? Here's Jake Tapper. He was not happy with
any of this. There
Unknown: are two groups, Andreessen that we know, stormed
the capital that day one is radicalized. Magga supporters
radicalized Trump supporters, and the other is far right
groups. And the truth of the matter is that the House
impeachment managers could have used video going all the way
back to 2015 2016. If they wanted to talk about Trump
playing footsie with these far right groups, they they only
went back as far as the first debate with Joe Biden where
Trump said, stand back and stand by to the proud boys but he's
been playing footsie with these far right groups. For years and
years. Now, this
Adam Curry: is the same Jake Jake Tapper who on Thursday, we
played a clip of him saying, Well, yeah, CNN was even used. I
shared and reporting there, it's like right there. And this is
fantastic. CNN has the authority. And now when you
super clip all that crap from CNN not so happy Jakey also
about canceled culture, which is what the lawyer referred to this
is, this is a form of extreme political Kancil culture. No,
not according to Jake Tapper of CNN
Unknown: and the corruption of the term canceled culture is
incredible. I mean, a conversation a thorough
conversation about whether or not people should be canceled.
You say something stupid, or you say somebody tweeted something
dumb 10 years ago and whether or not your entire I mean, that is
a conversation in a debate society should have inciting an
insurrection is not about that's not what canceled Culture refers
to think
John C. Dvorak: the big expert now he's like a linguist.
Linguist.
Adam Curry: He almost said direction I think, I think he
caught himself just in time. Canceled culture
John C. Dvorak: is some is a is a made up term and it's recent.
And it's kind of it's really not gelled into any you know, it
doesn't it means a lot of things. A lot of different
people. But now how can you corrupted term like that? It's
pre corrupted.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah, this is as I said, Jake Tapper is very,
very pissed off.
John C. Dvorak: Because all the numbers, they're noticing the
numbers and all. Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: There was no, there was one. There were a couple of
moments actually, where the truth just came out loud and
clear. I don't know if anyone caught it. This is one of our
producers. Well, one of our producers did for sure. In the
q&a session,
Unknown: showed her gram for it. And so Sara Cruz, Senator
Marshall, Sharon Kramer submits a a question for the counselor
for Donald Trump.
Read it just as a politician raising bail for riders
encourage more riding
counsel as five minutes. Yes. Counsel yield back.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Beautiful. Yes, that's exactly it. But then
we had another superstar who was clearly put into just just as
cannon fodder. Like, oh my goodness. Stacy Plaskett from
the US Virgin Islands. Donlin. Don Lemon, all ma'am. And he
just he just, he really loved that she was there. And you
know, really? Just her being there showed how racist Trump
and his cronies and his lawyers really are.
Unknown: Trump's legal team engaging in all sorts of what
about ism playing out of context clips, and an effort to argue
the former president words dude inside the Capitol writers, many
of those clips showing people of color, especially black women,
speaking about the Black Lives Matter protests we saw this
summer impeachment manager and house delegates, Stacey Plaskett
noticed
I'll briefly say that defense counsel's put a lot of videos
out in their, in their defense playing clip, after clip of
black women talking about fighting for a cause or an issue
or a policy was not lost on me as so many of them were people
of color. And women and black women, black women like myself,
who are sick and tired of being sick and tired for our children.
Your children, our children. This summer, things happened
that were violent. But there were also things that gave some
of us black women, great comfort, seeing Amish people
from Pennsylvania, standing up with us. Members of Congress
fighting up with us. And so I thought we were past that. I
think maybe we're not.
Adam Curry: Brother Amish lives matter, baby. That's an
interesting there is Wait, wait, wait, I have a second clip to
this. Because this is the superstar. This is how she went
in. You're racist. She was just saying you're racist. Okay,
everybody knows it. Everybody sees it. You play these clips,
you're racist. And then she went all the way to the end. She went
for the Mic drop.
Unknown: The point is this, too by the time you call the Calvary
cavalry. Not Calvary, the cavalry? Oh 1000s of supporters
on January 6, and event he had invited them to he had every
reason to know that they were armed, violent and ready to
migrate or a fight. He knew who he was calling and the violence
they were capable of. And he still gave his marching orders
to go to the capitol and, quote, fight like hell to stop the
steel. How else was that going to happen? If they had stayed at
the lips? Maybe it would have just been too violently in fight
in protest with their words. But to come to the Capitol. That is
why this is different. And that is why he must be convicted and
acquitted. disqualify
Adam Curry: I almost drove off the
John C. Dvorak: road when I heard that. That was a beauty.
Adam Curry: Just all the way to the end and now go live with
that. It's like forgetting your wife when you receive the McCone
award. You know, it's just one of those things that will stay
with you for the rest of your life. Uh huh. Yeah. Oh, no, that
wasn't the worst part. The fact that I had remembered to thank
medicated Pete of the Howard Stern Show that was kind of the
killer. I'm amazed that she wanted to be my valentine
John C. Dvorak: as well that happened to watch the actress
that double the big mouth. That one of the Oscars
Adam Curry: one the one with the big mouth. Oh Julia Roberts. No,
no,
John C. Dvorak: no, she didn't win an Oscar. He
Adam Curry: got a big mouth.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, no the one that one too. It's the one that
she's always getting killed and you're in the movie. She was the
boxer and people in the shower know who I'm talking about? You
got a big giant mouth. For cricket, thank you her husband
and they got divorced.
Adam Curry: And Hathaway.
John C. Dvorak: No, no. You got a big one to Academy. Who is the
GOP operative word? Hillary Swank, Hillary Swank.
Adam Curry: There we go. Of all the big mouths that she's not
the first to come to mind.
John C. Dvorak: No, but she's got a big mouth. Now. We got it.
I just want to mention something here. Because we're playing a
lot of these clips. All of a lot of CNN, CNN is reign of terror
is over. Well, this year, at least
Adam Curry: we can still get I mean, the more the reign of
terror is over and the raiding sink, the more crazy they
weren't. They become well,
John C. Dvorak: it's all beside the point. Because when Zucker
leaves, which is this year, that's right. And he's quitting
because he's, you know, he's, well, I was fine when I was
there. He should be in here. I believe he's supposed to leave
at the end of the year, but I believe he will leave earlier
because they always say you know, they always give a big
lead time. And then they get out of there. When things start to
sink. And it's going to bring somebody else in and they're
going to just clean house. These people that were that are on the
shows aren't going to be on the shows much longer. Well,
Adam Curry: foxes already is already mixing everything up.
There are
John C. Dvorak: a fox has already gone through the house
cleaning. Yeah,
Adam Curry: more or less. I think there's more to come. And
last night, though, last night. SNL opens up with a fake Tucker
Carlson segment. It wasn't even I mean, I can laugh if it's
really funny. And it was it a Giuliani and Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz
look kind of right. But it just the writing was poor. It wasn't
very funny. They should just skip it. If they can't write
anything hilarious. You get an opening for SNL, the cold open,
you expect something really dynamite just wasn't really
there. Just just everyone's I don't know, what are they going
to do? They've got to switch their mentality. But that'll be
hard, because the new cycle will continue to grasp as much as
they can on and whatever Trump is doing, and there and he will
stay in the news. This is a clip I've been wanting to play for
over two weeks. I just wanted to have the right moment to do it.
And I think we're at the right moment. Now if we look at all
the things that what you just said about the bull crap, the
doctored evidence, you and I and the, you know, the producers who
produce the show, we can't be the only ones who know this.
People know this. Now these things are coming out. Younger
people don't watch cable news. They they they're apathetic to
it. They're just like, whatever. I don't care. It's all doctored.
It's all bull crap. But also look at what's happening.
politically. I think Mitch McConnell, what the hell was
that yesterday? Who were you trying to appeal to? Because
everybody thinks he's a dick. Now. Did you see that speech he
gave after the after the vote?
John C. Dvorak: And he said, it was unhinged, it totally
Adam Curry: unhinged. And so he he looks like a like a
douchebag. for not doing that before the vote to the
Democrats. And two Republicans are like, What is wrong with
you, bro? There so he's been uncovered and we know his family
is deep into a can? We don't know for sure. But I mean, it
would appear that his family has his family in law has deep ties
into the Chinese Communist Party. We have Gavin Newsom, now
with enough votes in California to be recalled. We have Cuomo in
a way,
John C. Dvorak: just before I know there's a laundry list
coming which is great. But Gavin does not look happy. We get to
see him. He is just he has got to look on his face. Like I
don't need to be the second Governor recalled within recent
memory because it's together guy disappeared off the face of the
earth and I wanted to be president. Yeah, that's
Adam Curry: exactly. And that's another thing. And when you
watch this Adam Curtis documentary, one of the main
things and again, I've only seen three episodes, one of the main
things title, what's the title? It's called, I can't get you out
of my mind. Okay, and he got him And Mao's wife, who was an
actress, and a singer and a dancer and an entertainer. But
she, she's the one. Well, the way he portrays it, that she had
all these pure thoughts of she wanted the Cultural Revolution.
And that's what she was bringing. And while she thought
that this would would finally complete the revolution, and the
Chinese people would be free. Mao was using it. He was using
the this this big movement to get rid of his political enemies
for his own power inside the party. And that's what the red
brigade was, you know, to, hey, children, don't go to school.
Let's go knock on people and go grab them. very analogous to
what's happening right now, both with the black lives matter. But
also, look at all the commotion, the cultural change that that is
trying to be forced through. And look at the perhaps political
enemies, presidential hopefuls, mainly Gavin Newsom, and
Governor Cuomo in New York. I think they both had presidential
aspirations, no way and Cuomo, he might wind up going to jail,
or to the electric chair. And this is no joke what this guy
did. And and what I'm hearing now.
John C. Dvorak: And he doctored evidence.
Adam Curry: He did he literally doctored evidence, and there's
an admission on tape. The evidence was doctored. And the
reason was what didn't want to report the real numbers, because
he was afraid that Trump administration would use it
against him. Yeah, most likely. But here's the thing that I
understand 75% Of all the nursing homes in New York are
privately owned, and have investors and from one of our
producers even received a note saying, because they're private,
and it's ever since they were sold to investors, they really
run it on a skimpy staff very, you know, to the skeleton crew
to make as much profit as possible. So the accusation and
these, the accusation is that Cuomo receives a full on block
of votes, over a million votes from this very powerful lobby,
who are the main investors in the nursing homes.
Interestingly, it is the Hasidic Jews wishes. So there's other
things we can think about cromoz relationship with them. And the
accusation is that he put infected people into the nursing
homes, into the commercial nursing homes, because that
would immediately bang on, you know, six or 10 or 30 grand onto
their bottom line that they would get from, from the
government from the federal government for each case they
had in there. So it was taking him out of hospitals, where and
also, you know, just wherever more money could be made on the
seizing cadavers? Brother that is going to look bad for him if
that. Yeah, and it kind of now it also puts into context a
little bit why the Hasidic Jews were all pissed off at him. Hey,
man, you're a boy doing yelling at us to go inside? We're doing
the Hava Nagila baby get out of here. We own you. Maybe that was
his pushback, or you know, to show some kind of strength, but
Wow. Just wow. Okay. So anyway, so before we get into that, you
have all these people being uncovered. There was there was
another, something really interesting where it was it
here. The Lincoln project,
John C. Dvorak: the Lincoln and hilarious. Yeah, Chris knows
guys have all pocketed 5 million plus
Adam Curry: at least at least well, that's the way you do a
gig like that. But, but they're being taken down. That's a take
down. Come on, man. That's someone's taking him down, for
sure. And then, yeah, we got little, little annoying thing.
Stanford Children's Hospital, there's a pediatrician who has
been arrested on lewd charges with his patients. He's 33,
which is what got my attention. You know, Zuckerberg tracking
all of this stuff. It's all coming to light. And this, of
course, is what fuels the following clip. As Dr. Steve
polygenic returned to Infowars, several weeks ago, and we didn't
talk about it at the time. I think it's worth a minute 30 To
listen to what he was talking about. Then this was after the
certification of the votes. And this is after the 20th. After,
after Biden was inaugurated,
Unknown: I said to you there was a military coup and it's still
in effect. What exactly is Trump doing? You think Trump is just
sitting there and waiting and writing a novel? What do you
think is going on when we're exposing the Republicans, the
Democrats, we're exposing the Lincoln project we've exposed
all the senators McConnell How do you expose a guy like
McConnell, if you don't allow him to come out and show what a
coward he really is, and how dangerous he was, or Mitt
Romney, how many times do we have to say Mitt Romney was in
Bain Capital? It was correct. The only thing I'm saying to you
and why it went on the show wasn't to be right or wrong.
That's not what I'm about ball. I am the son of the Republic.
And in the Republic, there are people with me who believe in
what we're doing. What is unfolding, I'm telling you,
we're arresting different people, how long will it take? I
just told you, what I do not know. And I don't want to know
is the ongoing timing is this a day a week, it's a couple of
months, I said to you takes time, when in fact we initiated
we did this years ago to do a sting operation. That was years
ago, where it was marked and people didn't believe that the
the the minions weren't controlled or that we had a
sense of what was going on on the ballot, as well as the
voting machine. It turned out to be exactly what we thought we
knew exactly what the timing was when the votes came out. And
they were fraud.
Adam Curry: Just want to always make sure we give you all the
information that's out there. Now
Unknown: deluded,
Adam Curry: I have no opinion. I'm not a psychiatrist, or
psychologist. I'm barely a disc jockey anymore. They have
learned something that if you had to if you couldn't go to
work, because of COVID, you couldn't say get up to $12,000
that you can deduct off your income tax. It's like a new
thing. Yeah. If you're if you're like an independent and then you
don't have a paycheck. Okay.
John C. Dvorak: Does that apply to us?
Adam Curry: Yeah. And believe me, I already thought about it.
No, because we kept working. In fact, we should get danger pay
because we never stopped working. And we probably share
pay, and we probably won't stop working until April. That's the
bike. We won't take any time off till then this change your pay?
What's going on? Is hazardous. Let's see how we're doing in the
world. My daughter, as we know is still locked down. They've
extended the curfew it is from 9:30pm Liberty am no but I do
have news and information from Down Under. Hello, Australian
friends, brothers sisters, you may recall me telling you that
it's just not true. And yes, right. Melbourne back and locked
down here is dictator, Dan, we are
Unknown: having cases test positive. And we in rapid time
we get notified of that positive test result. By the time we find
that case as positive. They've already infected their close
contacts, their family, people they live with people they've
spent time with. That makes it incredibly difficult, incredibly
difficult to do contact tracing, because there is no gap if you
like between when we have the first case and their close
contacts and potentially others that they have spent time with
the whole process because of the hype infectivity and the speed
at which this UK variant moves, the whole process has been
condensed down. And it is now I am sad to have to report it is
the advice to me that we must assume that there are further
cases in the community than we have positive results for and
that it is moving at a velocity that has not been seen anywhere
in our country.
Adam Curry: PCR tests. That's right came from the same place
that was so locked down and solid. Nothing would happen.
Okay, chocolate. Yes.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I was saying you didn't let me you
steamrolled me here. I mean, I didn't expect to switch to
COVID. So Oh, I'm
Adam Curry: so sorry. I thought we were done.
John C. Dvorak: Well, yeah, you thought but you didn't ask.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What would you like to
do?
John C. Dvorak: Oh, are you going to patronize me? Play your
clips?
Adam Curry: No waiting for you? I'm sorry. I had no idea. I
thought we were just patronizing me. Right. And that was humor
and irony. Woven into one. And please tell me what you want to
John C. Dvorak: do. Because I just asked off kilter now.
Adam Curry: Let's not do it.
John C. Dvorak: Well, it's hard. I can't go all the way back to
the election thing. If you already started on the code. We
came up
Adam Curry: came out of Shinnick. I let spaces dropped.
You didn't jump in that I moved to the next topic. That's what
happened. That's that's how the show works. There's no saying
Unknown: oh, we're on you're on a roll. No, no. And I stopped I
wait, and you said he's deluded.
John C. Dvorak: Wait, you went right onto your I round up. Oh,
rewrite the tape.
Adam Curry: I wish I could
John C. Dvorak: All right. No, I got nothing else. All right.
Yes. Good. It'll be good on Thursday. Let's
Adam Curry: go back then. Yeah, I can maybe this will help us
get back into and this is CBS about Cuomo.
Unknown: Tonight there are bipartisan calls for an
investigation into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo after his
top aide admitted to Democratic lawmakers that the Cuomo
administration intentionally underreported the state's COVID
death toll in nursing homes. In recent weeks a court order and
the State's Attorney General forced Cuomo 's office to
acknowledge that the death toll is nearly 15,000 1000s More than
previously reported. The governor's aide said it was done
out of fear that the Trump administration would use the
numbers against Cuomo.
John C. Dvorak: So I didn't know the numbers were that high.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Because wasn't it 6000 Originally, and now it's
15,000. And I in this is the cool things from the post. The
Department of
John C. Dvorak: what's that percentage of the total of
deaths?
Adam Curry: Didn't they have didn't New York have what 50,000
At least New York Post the Department of Justice
investigates the Cuomo administration's refusal to turn
over data on nursing home deaths, a huge conflict would
arise in the case if the case were handed to the powerful
Manhattan federal prosecutor. That is because Audrey Strauss,
the US Attorney for the Southern District is the mother in law of
top Cuomo aide, Melissa DeRosa. That's the person who blew the
whistle on this whole thing. She's the she's the one that
admitted the law. Now the know the the daughter, the daughter,
Melissa DeRosa, who works for Cuomo. And who admitted to this.
She's the daughter in law of the US Attorney for the Southern
District.
John C. Dvorak: Almost got his Tintin a ringer.
Adam Curry: Well, he already had that with his little bars with
his.
John C. Dvorak: I mean, he's brilliant first guy this
indicted after getting an Emmy.
Adam Curry: Are we sure about that? I'm sure. So there must be
some actor somewhere who got indicted after getting an Emmy.
John C. Dvorak: Well, maybe. Anyway, I want to mention, I
don't have the clips. But I do have did listen to the whole
presentation I'll probably try to do it's hard to drag clips
out of some of these people who just go on and on. But there's a
woman who comes on one of these obscure video channels. And she
goes through all the research, there's only really three
papers, and she tosses them over a shoulder after she reviews
them about these new variants and how dangerous they are.
These are all based on rat studies. It's just bullcrap.
There is no studies, there's no proof whatsoever. This is all
again, concocted. Yeah, a
Adam Curry: lot of science talking out there. A lot of
science, a lot
John C. Dvorak: of stuff. If you go to bit shoot and a new tube
and some of these other systems. They're good, you get some good
a lot of it's a bit much but you can get through the fact that
they some of them are nutty. They've got solid evidence in
there mixed in that which is a problem. But the presentation is
a large part of it. I mean, we have I mean we put nutty stuff
in this show too, for other reasons, but it's just material
out there that proves that this is all a lot of it's just
rigged.
Adam Curry: And let me give you a couple of things so lockstep
with with Australia, New Zealand is in lockdown for three days,
of course. The where's it here? Yes, the latest CDC data on
vaccines, which we'll talk about in a minute, 653 deaths 12,044
injuries following the receiving the so called vaccine. And just
to make sure everyone feels good at home in Toronto, a retirement
home remove the door handles from the residence room so they
couldn't leave. That'll contain your COVID That'll do it. And in
The Guardian reporting what they took they took the hit the door
handles
John C. Dvorak: on the back of a police car.
Adam Curry: Yeah, kind of like that. Except it's the room.
Yeah. In the UK scandal, people with learning disabilities had
been given Do Not Resuscitate orders during the second wave of
the pandemic, in spite of widespread condemnation of the
practice last year and an urgent investigation The call the Care
Quality Commission said In December the inappropriate Do
Not Attempt cardiopulmonary Pulmonary Resuscitation notices
had caused potentially avoidable deaths last year. This is your
this is socialized medicine. I want to remind you this is the
National Health System. And they have determined that PDF battle.
Yes. And the weakest ones. If you got Down syndrome. I know
what learning disabilities. I mean, that's pretty broad. That
could be URI on any given day.
John C. Dvorak: Could be anybody. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So I thought that was. That's crazy.
John C. Dvorak: Good be Bill Gates.
Adam Curry: I got some Bill Gates stuff for you. Well,
John C. Dvorak: I have the Bill Gates and you have the Bill
Gates clip.
Adam Curry: I got to Bill Gates clips. But before we get to Bill
Gates, let me just make sure we're not missing anything is
anything you wanted to do? I don't don't want to. Here's the
seat, no steamrolls word but steamrolling anything. Okay,
kids back to school, CDC issuing all kinds of lay mass advice.
Here's the latest trick. If it wasn't terrorizing enough for
ISIS, let's do it to the kids. Tonight, the
Unknown: CDC unveiling their long awaited roadmap for getting
kids back in the classroom safely. A top priority for the
Biden administration.
We are also going to be guided by science, we are going to be
guided by our medical experts.
The CDC creating a nationwide color coded system ranging from
lower risk Blue Zones up to red, the highest rate of community
transmission in blue and yellow zones full in person instruction
is recommended. But in orange in red hybrid or reduced attendance
is encouraged and only with strict enforcement of six feet
of distance and masks in all zones.
Adam Curry: I mean, come on. This is redic and then
John C. Dvorak: worked with the work with moods. Bush.
Adam Curry: Yeah, with the with the flight shaming. With the
TSA. Yeah. But it's just another terror coding.
Unknown: It's orange.
John C. Dvorak: They had the Oakland Airport during that era.
They had the actually printed sign it was permanently orange.
Yes,
Adam Curry: it didn't. It beginning you could move it. You
can
John C. Dvorak: change your but there's just printed posters.
Adam Curry: Here's the poster with orange is good to go. Hi,
my favorite guy, Michael Osterholm. He is professor,
professor in something very important man because he is not
on the the Joe Biden COVID Response Team. I met him in
March. How Joe Rogan when he was predicting two and a half
million people would die. He's not apologized for the
switcheroo of the model or any mistake there. But now he has a
podcast because it's just not good enough. He's not getting
the message across to everybody. And he has a fantastic knowledge
analogy as to how dangerous the situation we are in and and I
hope you take it to heart.
Unknown: But to frame today's podcast, I share with you a
quote from the late William Arthur Ward who said the
pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to
change and the realist adjust the sails. I'm a realist. I have
done all my career. And the wins seems to me to be a fitting and
ongoing metaphor in relation to this pandemic. As many of you
know, two weeks ago, when I was on Meet the Press where I said,
we could think of ourselves as sitting on a beach looking out
at the ocean where the sky is blue. Everything seems fine. But
beyond the horizon, a hurricane is approaching a hurricane of
category five or more, is sitting 400 miles offshore and
heading directly to our beach. But because of the bright
sunshine, the blue skies and the gentle breeze, the beachgoers
were not the least bit alarmed. It's two weeks later now. Now
the hurricane, I'll call it COVID Is 250 miles away, not
400. And as of this moment, all the forecasts are saying is
still headed directly towards us. That's our realistic
situation. That truth
John C. Dvorak: says
Adam Curry: that's the truth. I find that we got to make them
live by those words. Correct? Or make anybody live by any word or
hurricane COVID, please. So what is the result of all of this?
This nuttiness? Well, if you haven't flown recently, and most
of you probably haven't, domestic flights in United
States typically now start like this
Unknown: door is closed. If we have to ask you more than once
to cover your nose, mouth. Put your mask on. You're not going
to be rude. We are not going to be nasty. We are going to simply
take your seat number and your name If and when we get where
we're going, you will either be arrested, fine, but you will
also be placed on the no fly list meaning you will not be
able to fly anywhere high for the rest of your life. We are
government officials and government property. If you
choose to fly content or character on the airplane, you
will be arrested and face 20 years imprisonment, you also
receive a $250,000 Fine.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, a couple of things.
Adam Curry: We are not government property,
John C. Dvorak: let's say government property thing.
Adam Curry: Well, I think because she's licensed by the
FAA, and she does have the right to apprehend you and other
things in the sky. She feels that she is a government
employee. Well, and technically, I think most of the airlines are
now government owned, because we're paying for it.
John C. Dvorak: What airline was that? You? Were one of our
producers. His video I saw the video. Oh, is video okay, what
airline was united? The Friendly Skies? Yes. Well, I would never
fly tonight if I have a choice. After listening to that message.
That That arrogant message? If I have a choice, I'm never going
to fly united again.
Adam Curry: Well, do you think it's going to be different on
any other airline?
John C. Dvorak: Pilot? I have no proof that that's the case. And
I'll skip them too. But I have no evidence and yet I only have
evidence of United United
Adam Curry: Yep. off the list.
John C. Dvorak: I mean, they want customers and they're just
gonna be dicks.
Adam Curry: They don't want customers. They don't want it to
be working at all. I don't think the government employees why?
And you know what, there it is. You feel you're a government
employee and my goodness act like one, don't you? That's
exactly there's there's the problem. There's the problem.
The minute you are you've been compromised with some deputy
status of a government employee. Now you have power, the pigs can
stand on their hind legs.
John C. Dvorak: Now, I want to play this gates clip and, and,
and discuss it. Okay. I have you probably have the same claim.
Adam Curry: I hope not. Well, you
John C. Dvorak: don't know me is spelled gate, W S. Once you play
this,
Unknown: nobody would have predicted that. I am Dr. Fauci
would be so prominent in, you know, really kind of evil
theories about you know, did we create the pandemic? Are we
trying to profit from it, and on and on? And so, you know, I'm,
I'm very surprised by that. I hope it goes away. I hope it
doesn't hold back, you know, mask wearing or seeking out
vaccines, this percentage that's really misled by these
conspiracy theories. It's unclear to me. There's millions
of messages out there, you know, where my name are Dr. pouchy
stain misused. But Do people really believe that stuff? Yeah,
you know, we're gonna have to get educated about this over the
next year and understand, you know, what, how does it change
people's behavior? How should we have minimized this?
Adam Curry: Is this the Indian Express interview?
John C. Dvorak: This is what I was asking, what is this? Where
is this from? And how old is it?
Adam Curry: I think it's new. And it's from the Indian
Express, that
John C. Dvorak: it took this long for Bill to figure this
out. I'm very disturbed.
Adam Curry: Well, this is fun. Guy, I have two other clips from
this. Okay, play him. Yeah, I see that my level is low. Here.
Let me just jack that up a bit. So this is, this must be from
the same, from the same bit. Here we go,
Unknown: you know, as technology evolves, particularly now that
it's gotten into the communications realm and the
delivery of news so much, you know, government's going to be
looking at you know, how do you do you stop anti vaccine
misleading things from being promoted to you, you know, of
something sort of one ethnicity against another. You know, how
do you how do you maybe curb that, you know, where you have,
say, two religions have some tension between them? And you
know, even a politician might say something that is stirring
up trouble, how you moderate disgust Well,
Adam Curry: he's laughing about politicians and then he's even
with the minute he hits moderating is, his groin starts
sitting, you
John C. Dvorak: know, in that first clip, he laughed when he
said the word masks.
Adam Curry: Interesting.
John C. Dvorak: I mean, that's his little tell, we've noticed
this. He laughs when he's fully shitting.
Adam Curry: Well, let's listen to the moderating life then,
Unknown: you know, even a politician might say something
that is stirring up trouble, how you moderate those things.
Adam Curry: Is that funny? Because he knows it's not
moderation It means he means deletion wiping bleach bit.
John C. Dvorak: I don't think he knows that on the surface that
he's doing
Adam Curry: this. No. No, not at all. Another thing from this
documentary about the eyes being the gateway to the, to the to
the brain to the soul. You're gonna love this thing. Yeah, I
think subconsciously he's laughing. Or he's he's tickled
by it or maybe he's excited because Keiko pickles Yeah,
probably tickled her Aha, moderation.
Unknown: Something that is stirring up trouble, how you
moderate? Those things will be discussed, including telling the
technology companies how the country wants it handled?
Do you think Tech has a has a role to play in making societies
less polarized?
Adam Curry: Maybe before we get to this question, maybe it's
because Bill is hearing this guy. And he's like, Oh, this
guy's a tard? I'll just I'll explain it slowly all over again
for him. Does that be it? It's probably it's probably just
we've got the right answer is a racist. That's why it's like
this idea raised as
Unknown: you're talking about that back the mill wants a
handle
has a role to play in making societies less polarized, is
that not their job at all?
It's the key job is for the government to decide what those
rules are, oh, make them clear to the tech companies. But the
overall thrust of what what do you think about, you know,
inciting ethnic tensions or, you know, saying that all vaccines
are bad. That's going to be a political decision, again, that
he left there, you know, hopefully it's written in the
clear Lomas
Adam Curry: enhance, rotate, analyze, let's listen to what he
was laughing about, while not
Unknown: being ethnic tensions, or, you know, saying that all
vaccines are bad. That's gonna be
Adam Curry: a big tail. All vaccines are bad. They really
Unknown: been ethnic tensions or, you know, saying that all
vaccines are bad. That's going to be a political decision.
That, you know, hopefully, it's written in a clear way, so that
the tech platforms know what to do.
But what we are seeing that we are we you are, you're expecting
that there will be more government involvement now in in
this area?
Yeah. Well, my expertise is in vaccines nowadays, but you know,
that there is a hot discussion about that. Right, right. Right,
right.
Adam Curry: Broadway. producer Steve had an interesting
observation about the reason why Bill Gates is involved in this.
And you just heard him say, you just heard him say about his
expertise, and just get that back for one second there.
Unknown: So that the tech platforms know what to do.
But but we are seeing that we are we you're expecting that
there will be more government involvement now in in this area?
Yeah. Well, my expertise is in vaccines nowadays, but you know
that there is a lot of discussion about that.
Adam Curry: Okay, so two things one,
John C. Dvorak: does he have a degree in Medical Degree or
anything, even a PhD in this field? Oh, no way. I'm sorry.
He's a college dropout yesterday quit when he's a freshman ever.
My
Adam Curry: doctor bill? First of all, Dr. Bill, I don't think
people are saying all vaccines are are bad, just yours. Okay.
So let's just set that straight.
John C. Dvorak: Maybe that's why you you just laughed yourself to
maybe that was what he was laughing. It could be. He was
just, he thought it was an ironic thing to say. So let's
take his
Adam Curry: expertise for a moment. And you'll have to help
me with the history of this. I'm just going to summarize from
producer Steve. And you know, we don't have to get into the total
details. But I think more or less, he started Microsoft. With
the IBM PC DOS, he reverse engineered that somehow to not
be infringing on a patent. And then he gave MS DOS away to all
the computer manufacturers who put that onto the, onto their
computers, their personal computers. Then he did it again
to IBM with Windows, which he gave away to destroy what
probably OS two or whatever else they were working on at the
time. Then he puts Lotus 123 WordPerfect Harvard graphics out
of business when he gave away Microsoft Office.
John C. Dvorak: He never given he's not giving away anything.
Adam Curry: Well, the starters correct. But the what happened
is he did move and I think this is where his expertise is. He
moved to a subscription model for Windows for everything. He's
he's he's the guy I tasked with setting up the subscription for
the vaccine
John C. Dvorak: is never set up as such, there is no
subscription model for Windows.
Adam Curry: Oh I for I'm pretty sure I pay a subscription for
something
John C. Dvorak: you pay subscription for, for Microsoft
Office. Okay. I know you're going here,
Adam Curry: Steve. And I thought it was interesting because the
tech industry in general has been moving towards a
subscription. And I'm just thinking, with all this
John C. Dvorak: talk, this was developed in the 80s, when the
concept of software as a service was first floated, and nobody
would made it work. I mean, this is almost like, it kind of
parallels the way the search engines were developed. When
they came out there Riddick, it was kept going on and on again,
there's no way to make money with a search engine. And it was
like a useless exercise. You can't make money with a search
engine. And then I think was called go to was go to.com,
perhaps is bought by Google. And I've incorporated it. And the
next thing, you know, they, they showed how you can make money
with a search engine. And next thing, then next step is
Google's does monster company, right? The software subscription
services very similar. It took a long time for people to find the
right model. I think Adobe did it first, in terms of making it
work, even though you might harken back to Autodesk, I think
they had some sort of a thing going on where you could do or
maybe some their competitor. It was too long. It was hard
fought. And Microsoft is always been copying somebody else's
idea. And that starts right at the beginning. And that's the
real thing. You have to look at here. Right? Bill's all good
steal and embrace or whatever there was a term for grace
Adam Curry: and extend. Grace, how
John C. Dvorak: was it? I have the right name for it. But they
changed it to Yes, embrace and extend. And that's kind of I
think, what he's doing with the vaccine, because he's a Johnny
come lately. And but he's taken over the place because he's got
leverage. He knows that's what he knows how to do. Right?
That's his expertise, his expertise is that in vaccines,
he doesn't know jack shit about vaccines, let's face it.
Adam Curry: Well, I mean, you know, more or less than we do
probably,
John C. Dvorak: oh, by the way, we don't know anything. Here's
what we know where to go get information, we have him sure to
see, by the way, but his information is all designed out
now that the money making we don't make any money, on our
knowledge of vaccines,
Adam Curry: what what he is saying is that our knowledge of
vaccines is wrong because it came from the internet. That's
what he's saying. Sure.
John C. Dvorak: What he's saying is he's thinking that he does
have a solution, or what I'll bet he does, in his hand.
Unknown: If you were in task build to rebuild the internet
ground up, what's the one thing you change about it?
Well, the basic assumption that you're anonymous, you know,
causes some difficulties. And some of the the inability to
control the security causes some difficulties. And, you know, the
internet has been unbelievable. But the the identity part and
the security part, we're kind of having to layer that on. And
it's it's not as natural as it should be. It's
Adam Curry: it's not as what natural as it should be
John C. Dvorak: natural. Yeah. And I'm very natural in that
regard. I mean, I could go out to the middle of the street and
start yelling stuff, jump in my car and take off. That's pretty
anonymous. I can make a phone call, you know, with a blocked
number by you not in the early days before they had caller ID.
You can make a phone call anonymous phone call. And it's
the same. What's that? How's that different? How's it
different from the old landline days, when you could just make
an anonymous phone call and tell somebody to fuck off? How's it
different?
Adam Curry: Well, that yeah, that that ended with star 69. I
think that's what that's when that joke stopped.
John C. Dvorak: But yeah, it ended because people would were
sick of it. Yeah. And it builds obviously sick of the anonymous
stuff. And he was
Adam Curry: on the phone used to ring and you'd say I would say
hi, it's Adam speaking. And the person the other end would go
hey, it's John, John C. Dvorak. Now, not all that.
Unknown: I see you come in like us, John.
John C. Dvorak: I want to go back to Bill's worrying about
his being seen as yes as a as a creep. Yeah. As a creep. You
have to Bill had this interesting kind of arc. Even
when Bill is really Making a lot of money at Microsoft. And even
when he first became a billionaire, he was pretty
accessible. He go to Users group meetings, he explained what
Microsoft was up to. He was out there and out and about
Adam Curry: like me in the early days of podcasting. Then I
withdrew, to know
John C. Dvorak: withdrew, they stopped inviting you. Big
difference.
Adam Curry: Because I want to sponsor their conference. That's
why
John C. Dvorak: so you wouldn't pay? They said, Well, you were
gonna invite you can come free. You can come with you if you
pay. Here's the
Adam Curry: sponsorship package, like 10 grand like, if I come
off speakers, I want you and it's for free. And it's the
keynote.
John C. Dvorak: Well, we're gonna really should be paying
you Hello.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, that was that's against the whole No.
Please.
John C. Dvorak: All right. So then Bill got pied.
Adam Curry: Gah. Yes. And that changed his attitude.
John C. Dvorak: It changed him it changed him. Once he got pied
he started to be all of a sudden he's and by the way you always
fly coach although he never did because he always upgraded me by
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was that was that was the that was the
culture around him that mystique. Oh, he always fights
cold call.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, he'd fight coach and you never take a limo.
He take cabs and they'll change to start taking limos. He got
his own private plane, his
Adam Curry: own french toast.
John C. Dvorak: And so got bodyguards. Even one time he was
at a Comdex, or either that or CES was late in the game after
he'd already been pied. And I remember he's going to be at
something and I saw him for a second, and then he disappeared.
Adam Curry: I said, getting pied though, is a very violent act.
Everything I know about people have gotten pied is a very
frightening experience. It's not just haha, funny when it happens
to you. So for it to have affected him. I totally believe
that.
John C. Dvorak: I think so. Yeah, I believe it's also true
as a violent act. Yeah. And it's I mean, that if you you know,
your wife does it at the wedding pushes your head down into the
cake.
Adam Curry: Do you know we had agreements over that? That's not
true. It's a total lie. You
John C. Dvorak: did not do that doctored evidence. Yes. My
witness. I saw it. You saw it. You saw nothing. And so so he
changed and he got and he'd been in Danny B slowly became
isolated. And then he built that big. This didn't help, by the
way is another one of those horror was calling me out for
having all kinds of weird stories on this show.
Adam Curry: Now these, by the way, congratulations to Andrew
Horowitz 700 episodes of the disciplined investor, the
longest running financial advice podcast in the entire universe.
Yeah, not too shabby.
John C. Dvorak: And it's an interview show too. And he gets
a lot of good guests. It's very good show people should listen
to him. So the
Adam Curry: big thing about your weird stories, he's in a way
this is gold baby. This is Jim. Jim. So I'm an
John C. Dvorak: architect. I don't know why I'm here at this.
I don't remember the origin of this story origin. But I'm at
this architect's office, about some talking about something and
he's the guy designing the Bill Gates mansion. One day we're
building on Lake Washington.
Adam Curry: Oh, which is what? 60,000 feet square feet.
John C. Dvorak: So he's got an underground parking lot. They
never give anybody a tour. Even though I've seen pictures. They
got pictures all over the place. And I knew about what he was
trying to do and didn't have the stuff he wanted to do. He never
did. But I did get this story which was according to this guy.
He says they had to keep replacing the front glass
because the thing was just off the lake enough were boaters who
as he was being built, just casual boaters would would be
rowing past the place or even they stop and didn't take
potshots at the place in South the windows. So the whole front
of the house is bulletproof glass. There you go. That can't
be relaxing thought. So Bill's a little bit paranoid. And then
the fact that he's been isolated, he's isolated himself.
He just now realizes that people are starting to hate him to the
point where somebody might just take a pot shot at him.
Adam Curry: When I lived in Amsterdam. We moved back in the
19 end of 1999 and bought a house and the whole bottom floor
was bulletproof glass. And you're right. It was very odd.
It's uncomfortable. It's a weird feeling. It couldn't open
couldn't open the window in the front. It is a weird feeling.
John C. Dvorak: So Bill is like Bill's got any issue here. He's
going to he should just you know he shouldn't just shut up.
Adam Curry: Well, the thing He says that that's all people
really want to talk to him about. And that seems to be the
media's job. And maybe that's his current gig is to
continuously say, you know, this is always crazy. Because he's an
authority guy. Someone's got to say it. It doesn't work when
politicians say it. But doesn't it all kind of come together? If
you look at it from a grander scale, and again, I'm influenced
by this documentary. We've had media systems in place to Doctor
the evidence for decades, really, radio great examples,
but television, the whole television age, and now we're in
the internet age. And somehow, we're lucky, I think, just under
the wire, just as the elites are saying, well, holy crap, we just
got to tamp down on everything. shut it all down. I mean,
there's no, there's no argument for I don't think from anybody
that social media is being sanitized. And it's being
squeezed down to ultimately Twitter's just going to be
checkmarks yelling at each other all day. And I think with a
little bit of luck, a sufficient amount of people are squeezing
out from that. Just where there's no we actually have a
mastodon, we have different types of chat things. We're not
net, we have different phones, we can use no agenda phone.com
Not necessarily beholden to the to the app stores, we have
Bitcoin and all these things. I think it's only going to get
worse and N and Bill Gates is going to be the canary in the
coal mine. As long as he's keeling over looking weak, then
with that more has to be done.
Unknown: I think that is not squeezed,
Adam Curry: don't you think?
John C. Dvorak: I'm sorry. But what was I missing is that the
Adam Curry: governments around the world that just wants to
squeeze out dissenting voices, they are so used to having their
their way or the highway? And now well, it's not it's a this
is the whole freedom of reach. And I know you don't believe
it's going to catch on but it is it is the entire idea behind
what they're doing. Well, you can have freedom of speech over
there when no one cares. It's just like MTV, when I said, Do
you mind if I register mtv.com Because I've got this this web
server thing and the gopher server, and I went that's fine.
We have the AOL keyword. We don't need your silly little
internet. It's the same attitude.
John C. Dvorak: There is that dead attitude does exist and
they are mass media and everything else is a joke.
Adam Curry: Exactly everything else is remember it used to just
be they can't pull that anymore used to be just unprofessional.
Now they have someone in his basement now that everyone's
broadcasting from their basement to the basement. So easy is it
dipshits is a little harder than you thought. Can't go to masking
just for some for some Fauci updates on masking. Fauci Yes,
because he's made it very confusing. One mask to mask
three masks. Well, here we go again. Let's bring in the Dream
Team Savannah Guthrie from the NBC Today Show with Mr. Fauci.
Unknown: Let's talk about this mask.
Adam Curry: She's laughing already. Let's cycle this mask.
Unknown: Let's talk about this mask thing because now the CDC
says I think what was
John C. Dvorak: funny,
Adam Curry: because she likely finds it annoying that she has
to do this segment again about the masks thing. Why can't these
eight holes. Republicans just shut up and wear masks? Yes,
exactly. Mandy, she may be a little irk that Fauci is
bumbling. He has made it confusing. No mas yes mask.
Okay, mask wrong masks. 395 masks to match three masks off
mask
John C. Dvorak: paper mask,
Unknown: this mask, because now the CDC says I think I've got
this right. One mask is better than zero masks. Two masks is
better than one mask but you don't have to have double masks.
Is that right? I mean,
it is in fact you know, Savannah the you and I had this
Adam Curry: they all find it very funny. They started so
hilarious that people are confused that there's there's
misinformation at best coming out of official channel
channels. It's contradictory and these aztalan Laughing
John C. Dvorak: they're laughing at the public that's
Unknown: the fucking idiot public.
John C. Dvorak: This kind of dismiss this gratuitous laughing
they always doing it's just an it's really an insult to the
listener. I don't understand how, where are the suits? The
suits at the network that don't call her out on to say you can't
do that. Are you laughing? Why are you laughing like an idiot?
Adam Curry: They are at the French Laundry
Unknown: that's where they are why Talk about this mask thing,
because now the CDC says, I think I've got this right. One
mask is better than zero masks, two masks is better than one
mask, but you don't have to have double masks. Is that right? I
mean,
it is, in fact, you know, you and I had this conversation on
your show. I mean, it must have been a month or so ago, because
someone had said, I've seen people wear two masks, why the
recommendation is not that you have to wear it with the CDC is
saying that, at minimum, wear a mask, okay? Make sure you wear a
mask. So you wear a mask, then you want it to fit better. So
one of the ways you could do it, if you would like to, is put a
cloth mask over what's actually here, and here. And here, when
you could get leakage in is much better contained. That's all
they're saying. One mask at least. But if you want to really
be sure get a tie to fit with a second,
wait a minute, are you a double masker, Dr. Fauci.
In fact, I have used it occasionally. Mostly Samantha
with the CDC is saying the fit is better.
Adam Curry: The fit is better. And notice how it's only about
the fit. Breathing in. You're still breathing all that crap
out, which is supposed to be danger. You're protecting other
people. You're protecting grandma. Oh, okay. This is
another thing that irks me. Can we stop with the ageist
analogies? And I'll give you one example that, that I'm just sick
of. It doesn't irked me that much anymore. But yeah, I'm
working on podcasting. 2.0. And we're at the foundation level of
getting things working. And there's there's not a company,
there's not a release schedule. There's no PR team. And, and
then someone will come in and test something and go. Well, I
don't even know. I can't explain this to my mom. You know, this
is I've heard this all my career. My mom won't be able to
use it. What kind of a dumb Mom Do you have? What's wrong with
your mom? And the same with COVID? Grandma, I'm old enough
to be your grandpa. But listen to how you just you just you're
just disdained man, folks who
Unknown: are elderly are moms and dads, my kids grandparents,
a lot of them are getting their vaccines now. And once they're
fully vaccinated, can they see their kids? Can they see their
grandkids? Can they go to a restaurant? Can they go to
Costco? I mean, once they're fully vaccinated, can they go
back to their normal lives?
In essence, ultimately, yes. Then you would like to see
semana is if you have two parties vaccinated. And that's
the question more often, if I'm vaccinated, and my daughter who
lives in Boston comes home and she's vaccinated, can we get
much more of this pulling back on restrictions and saying, We
can sit down together without a mask? We can give each other a
hug? And the answer ultimately is going to be yes with that.
But
if we're vaccinated but grandkid isn't,
yeah, then you got to be careful because grandma could still get
virus in her nasal pharynx. Even though the vaccine is preventing
her from getting physically ill. She's due to virus.
Adam Curry: I want everyone to hear that one more time. This is
not a vaccine. This is some kind of potion that makes the the
effects of the COVID disease which you will catch less
annoying. Let's hear it again.
Unknown: And you got to be careful because the
Adam Curry: question again is grandma's vaccinated grandma has
the vaccine coursing through her veins. Grandpa cool ASMR SMR
grandchild has no grandchild has no vaccine. Is grandma still
protected from this vaccine
Unknown: can give each other a hug? And the answer ultimately
is going to be yes with that. But
if we're vaccinated but grandkid isn't, yeah, then
you got to be careful because grandma could still get virus in
her nasal pharynx. Even though the vaccine is preventing her
from getting physically ill she still could have virus in her
nasal pharynx. And that's the reason why we say until we have
the overwhelming majority of people are vaccinated and the
level of virus is very low. When you're vaccinated you still it
would be prudent to wear a mask for the that I just mentioned.
Okay, and
just really quickly because they're gonna kill me with the
time but my kids grandma's listening to this, okay. Is the
risk that's with that leftover virus that grandma might be
emitting the risk to the person who's not vaccinated or is the
risk to grandma, to the
person who's not vaccinated. Okay.
John C. Dvorak: The kids who can't catch it Yeah,
Adam Curry: exactly. I have some personal issues
John C. Dvorak: talking about Miss mixed messaging.
Adam Curry: I have some personal experience. Over the weekend we
got a call from Tina sister. She works in a clinic. And so she
has had both her Maderna shots. And she called she was home
alone. No, she was home initially. She wasn't feeling
well, her other sister who lives nearby, and these are Indiana
girls. Now this is tough chicks. So now let's go to get tested.
She got tested. So she's had both vaccines. The last shot was
four weeks ago. She's COVID Positive. And she she was
running 104 Fever, because you know, the the vaccine clearly
who shot the dog for weeks, so don't get me any of this. That
takes time to work for weeks. It's supposed to be seven to 14
days. But that's not the part that is so sad. As she was home
alone, and then you know, she just she felt her heart
pounding. And she went into full blown panic attack because of
the fucking fear mongering that's out there. Oh, yeah. And
it was and she mass hysteria. And she's the kind of person who
you know, your shot on the ground, she'll pick up your guts
shove it in and drive you you know, to the hospital, she was
in a full blown panic attack. Because of just all this fear
that's being bestowed upon people. What did work and props
to Tina, she's like, Baby 98.8% survivability rate. If you
didn't have all the fear pumped into you, you just think crap,
I've got a horrible flu. But you wouldn't think it after you got
the vaccine, both shots and four weeks for it to do its work. So
that's a personal I can out of personal experience. Say the
vaccine doesn't work. It's bogus. It's bunk. I hope what
John C. Dvorak: did you get to get us taken off the air? You're
gonna get fired?
Adam Curry: Yeah. When they figured out how to moderate
podcasts. Great.
John C. Dvorak: You can count on market they're working on
Adam Curry: now. This is not fun. It's not going to happen.
You're bitching a lot? Oh, of course. Well, that's that's the
gatekeepers who are doing that. The gatekeepers in the UK the
success of the vaccine program if implant implanted properly.
could see the UK back to normal by 2022. Yeah. And I got a great
note from one of our Norwegian producers, how that a bunch of
jerks. How was in Norway and how looked into the adverse effects
that killed 23 people in a nursing home? Oh, excellent.
Yes. And I put her his whole report from getting donation
reindeer balls, as he says in the show notes, here's what he
said. I thought I'd just give you some info from inside
Norway. I'm in Norwegian living in Norway, and about the depths
you mentioned in the newsletter. And previously on the show,
since I mostly ignore M five M and only listen to you guys. I
hadn't heard about this until you brought it up. So I Googled
a bit and found a lot of new stories. He speaks Norwegian, so
that's helpful. The topic was from our biggest newspaper, the
very verdens gang, which he says loosely translated is how the
world turns, which I think is a so proper hearing America. Now,
he says this is dismissible for the very reason that and so
there were 3023 people reported 23 people died. It is now in
fact up to 56. And they're still giving the Yeah, it's not really
a big deal. Because these are the side effects that are
expected and they they they sometimes kill people. So here's
the kicker. The reason why it's no big deal is because on any
regular day 45 People die in our nursing homes. We have a lot of
sick people with underlying conditions in Norway,
Norwegians, nursing homes. Our health system puts people in
nursing homes that most countries would put in a
hospital. Another clue about socialized medicine. So it's
totally normal for 45 people a day on a good day no COVID To
die in the nursing homes in Norway.
John C. Dvorak: That's where they weren't worked up about it.
Adam Curry: Right. But did you know that one of I mean, if
Denmark is the happiest place on earth, and Sweden is the way we
all want to be. I mean, does Norway just get kicked to the
curb? In Norway, Norway's they're supposed to be all in on
that on that stuff.
John C. Dvorak: Well, Norway's actually is an outlier, which is
a very good thing to study because An out by outlier. I
mean, they're not in the EU. Oh, yes, this is they're not in the
euro zone. None of that. They have they have been they're not
in the EU for good reason is because they're sitting out of a
giant pile of oil that makes them you know, as wealthy as big
as Kuwait. And so whatever happens in Norway, you we don't
talk about it much in this country because we don't know
how to what to think of it because they're just they're a
little bit like Switzerland in that regard. Yeah.
Adam Curry: But clearly, it's messed up over there, man.
John C. Dvorak: Well, they still have this key. I don't know, I
don't know. Maybe we should get more reports out of Norway,
because we are obviously.
Adam Curry: Well, if you if you read his full report, and just
it seems like a big deal is just what it is. So that's also good.
Even though those no side effects were clearly bad enough
to hurt people.
John C. Dvorak: I hope that for example, you know, they did say
something out of that. I don't know if he discussed this, which
is that, well, we shouldn't have given the vaccine to people over
80 Which is something that was one shot pronouncement that
we've talked about on the show, but nobody here ever says that
yet. They give Hank Aaron the shot and he's dead two weeks
later. More recently, they gave Bill Russell probably the
greatest basketball player of all time. The shot like during
the Superbowl, I think and we'll see what happens there and he's
86
Adam Curry: Yeah, see, I'm not I don't want you to get it. You
know, I gotta get a shot.
John C. Dvorak: Why would I get the shot just checking.
Adam Curry: I know. You might be sitting around and you have the
messages to start to get to you although
John C. Dvorak: I have to say a number of people that are around
me I've gotten a shot and they I've talked to him about it. I
dissuade people from getting the shot me too. I don't do it in
any fashion. It makes me sound like a nut. But it's a mix. I'll
just say this I've said it in the newsletter I'll say it
again. The Mr. N A vaccine. We've talked about it a lot it's
an experimental treatment that's never been issued to a large
population. We have no idea what's what's going to happen if
I was forced to take the shot by the government had grabbed me I
would take the the AstraZeneca or the Johnson and Johnson shot
which is monkey fist or something that they shoot you
which is supposed to do the job and I'm not taking an experience
just a genuinely experimental product it hasn't been fully
tested and it hasn't been fully tested No So what So what can
you tell people this is I'm getting the shot anyway just in
case Yeah. Okay.
Adam Curry: Poland you know, they didn't do the animal trials
I still have my eye on the mink so I'm I I'm just giving the
information as it comes in Poland now saying the
Coronavirus find in local mink can be transmitted to humans and
vice versa. They have not called their animals yet, apparently.
According to this article, the research clearly shows the virus
can spread from mink to humans and vice versa. Oh, this is the
country's agriculture minister said yesterday. Now the thing is
The ministry added the virus found in Polish mink is
different from the virus discovered on mink farms in
Denmark and it's also different from the mutations reported in
the UK, South Africa and Brazil.
John C. Dvorak: What about the minx founded Ned Mark does that
account for the Denmark mutation?
Adam Curry: I don't know. I mean, they they had to burn them
all because they buried them. And then when they start to
decompose the mink or pop into the surface, people were worried
about the drinking water getting contaminated. So they torched
him.
John C. Dvorak: Go God, why is this so much? Okay, here's,
here's a question. You got a million mink or 2 million
whatever was the collecting or three usually uses for why don't
you go in with a hazmat suit? D for differ the animals and make
them into coats and then you know, you can treat it with
gamma radiation. If you're worried about anything viral in
there, it'll kill everything you can gamma radiation is used as a
form of treatment for ultra pasteurized milk. Different
kinds of foodstuffs, meat and most of the world except the
United States we won't use it because people don't understand
what it is. It's not it's not the radiation that will kill you
if you went in there because it kills all life forms but it
doesn't linger. And also you could gamma radiate the entire
mink population and tournament of fur coats when they do stuff
like that. I think they
Adam Curry: should let them drink bleach and shove a UV
light up there but that would work.
John C. Dvorak: Just not even take In a comment series
Adam Curry: I'm taking the common very seriously but to me
it seems you're worried about the mink and the and the capital
worrying about the code. That's what I'm saying the capital
destruction that is taking place. I don't Can you can you
share a mink? And is it useful from day one? Or did you have to
have a mature main core? I know nothing about mink,
John C. Dvorak: I think baby mane could be dynamite. It's
gotta be very soft and fluffy. Yummy. It's not for eating.
Although I would say if you're gamma radiate, the mink
Adam Curry: could be tasty. Could be speaking of variants,
Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada Navia. It's a very short
one you got to pay attention to comes at the end, but he says
it.
Unknown: Obviously we've taken significant measures to keep
Canadians safe, particularly given the threat of these new
variants that are being developed.
Adam Curry: The new variants being developed young, it's a
big threat. They're developing very
John C. Dvorak: shaky that one. Well, it's that is a jam. That's
right up there with the erections.
Adam Curry: It's pretty good, isn't it? That's right up there
with the erections.
John C. Dvorak: It is it's pretty damn good. Yeah, it's a
10 pointer. Wow.
Adam Curry: crowd goes wild.
John C. Dvorak: It's not a clip of the day but no, it's a 10
point clip. That's dynamite.
Adam Curry: Now here's some information being developed.
This guy's a doofus is is. I didn't know the story. I don't
know if you'd even heard about it. 37 seconds came up on ABC
America. This morning's morning
Unknown: new claims that former President Trump was nearly
forced into a medically induced coma during his battle with the
Coronavirus last fall. The New York Times reports Trump was so
sick in October that his oxygen levels dropped into the 80s. And
doctors reportedly consider putting him on a ventilator. The
claims about his condition appear to be a stark
contradiction to what Trump's medical team said at the time
because
he also experienced difficulty breathing. No, no, he has not.
Never did.
We want to put people on the ventilator early on before they
decompensate. So I think that's what the doctors were
considering once his oxygenation levels were below that 88%
threshold.
Adam Curry: Do you even heard of this story?
John C. Dvorak: No, I haven't. It's a good one, though. And I
wonder how true it is. Trump had Trump had already gone through
hydroxychloroquine. He's done all kinds of things to minimize
exposure. He's the thing that's always ignored about Trump in
all these reports. We talked about on the show like maybe, I
don't know, once every 10 months. He's a germaphobe.
Right? He doesn't like to shake hands. He does. He's very, you
know, freaky about all kinds of things. And he's not the kind of
guy that is, is going to it sounds more like to me they
tried to kill him. You put put Trump on a ventilator. And he's
done. Yeah. Anybody we have the evidence is 85% of people that
go on a ventilator never come off.
Adam Curry: Maybe even worse. Wow. It was just an odd story
came out of nowhere. Why now?
John C. Dvorak: I don't know. Sourcing question why now
Adam Curry: sources familiar with the thinking and the mass?
John C. Dvorak: Well, here's another thing that makes me
question it. The New York Times The Washington Post everybody
would have even they got a
Adam Curry: story on that immediately. Yeah, yeah. So
again, the question why now? Why now?
John C. Dvorak: I'll just die just a pile on he's a liar. The
people around him are liars. So
Adam Curry: much material out there. Why make it so
complicated? They just have to
John C. Dvorak: keep doing it. I don't know. It's the de Pon hope
that some of the catches? I think it just develop sympathy.
The guy says, Well, I'm not gonna get into a game but got
out of there. Yeah.
Adam Curry: In fact that it strengthens his whole argument
that we have treatments. Yeah, it's not dead. Dear crackpot, my
friends and I agreed tonight that although we unconditionally
support your ethical stance on not accepting outside
advertising, especially as a matter of integrity, we think
all no agenda listeners would be completely okay with JCD getting
some of that sweet PBR cash. We already know he likes it, and
the risk of big beer corrupting your coverage would be remote.
So we're not sure there's really any ethics involved at all, to
be honest, just getting paid to drink lots of sweet sweet PBR.
At least he could get a few free cases out of it who could object
to that but again, we're just poor douchebags in Las Colinas
waiting on government cheese thank you for your courage.
John C. Dvorak: Well, you know that's time for Yes indeed.
Adam Curry: For closer to the mic, Now you go. So good. And
with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the
morning to you, the man who put the sea in Trump's coma, John C.
Dvorak.
John C. Dvorak: Well, in the you,
Unknown: interview, are you happy Valentine's Day? Yeah, I
John C. Dvorak: mean to you, I should mention it every time I
do that trick with the pouring. I get my pop filter soaked.
Adam Curry: It wasn't close enough. You didn't hit the noise
gate. But it's it's refreshing over the squeaky chair, which I
no longer hear. And that is a complaint I have received.
People are wondering if you've switched out your
John C. Dvorak: no the chairs. Anyway, this pop filters wet
now. Thank you everybody out there. And especially the days
and nights I'm saying it this way because I got a complaint
that I didn't use the old in the morning that ships and see boots
on the ground and all the rest last time because we had a screw
up and we did things awkwardly. And that's when that was my
partner. We didn't know we didn't catch it on the show. No.
But now I've decided to change that opening to what in the
morning to you, Adam current in the morning that Dames and
nights out there and all the supporters of the show.
Adam Curry: And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
It's a Sunday. So clap, clap hands up. Show me what you got
trolls troll count is taking place 2166 We'll take it. Thank
you very much. Very nice. 2166 It's not a bad number. Bitcoin
almost 50,000 Today, things are popping up. No agenda stream.com
is where you can find all the trolls. We have a live stream
live for the show. I was looking at the stream earlier during
Darren O'Neil does a live the live rock and roll pre stream.
And you know, and then he hands over to me it's always seamless,
fantastic. And I play a couple of mixes that I might be playing
at the end of the show and other stuff. And then you come on and
we're yapping. And then we have the whole fat lady and all this
stuff. And someone said Well, hold on. This is not in the
regular podcast. That's the beauty. This is hat and this is
where you see how the sausage is made. And that is only something
trolls can handle. So join us there no agenda stream.com We're
down to 1000 Roughly, that we can still handle until we hit
our 10k limit of no agenda. social.com are an algo wise,
federated social network. That is a great place to go have
discussions with anyone and get my nation but it's federated. So
it works across many of the mastodon servers that have been
set up. It's all open source.
John C. Dvorak: Did you did you say we only have 1000 slots
left? Yeah, we're just about 9000 people
Adam Curry: were bad bed. We're nationwide and the signal to
noise is still good. And now people can come in through the
through the Federation. So you can still address at John C.
Dvorak at no agenda social.com Or at Adam? At no agenda
social.com. And you can follow people and it's it's growing.
I'm seeing more and more people starting to do this. And it's
the only way out. At least for now. That doesn't seem to me to
be many.
John C. Dvorak: I would question your cut off at 10,000 But do I
see it I think it's fine. It's probably better and that's the
way all these things should be question with social to
Adam Curry: deal with that. That's my point. You can do that
you can federate but why do you question the 10,000
John C. Dvorak: question at first because then why are we
being limited? Why are we limiting? And then I realized
that you know, it's 10,000 is probably an ideal number.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and the rest can still come in and
participate but yeah, and start another one there's another no
agenda Mastodon site there's people have to go there but they
never will. Yeah, no agenda sucks. No, it's no agenda the
Reddit boys. No, I think it's no agenda dot social. I think
that's what it is that the Reddit boys met my my phone
doesn't even resolve Reddit. Sometimes I'll click on a link
I'll read it. And now could I turn it off yet? Do I know? Like
there's nothing on Reddit that I need to see so bad. Just
nothing. So that's it? No agenda social.com Now you can email me
for an invite. I'm not going to answer you because you need to
go on your own quest to find this these people. We are we are
around people ask online you'll find someone or just get an
account on any other Mastodon server and you can join in the
fun. And in the morning to our artists for episode 13 Whoa
13 120 Let me just bring this up for a second 1320 Let me see.
Now we titled that one. Quarantine Dodgers. Ah, yes.
This was the year of the bull crap.
John C. Dvorak: And they did talk about it but it was I think
the day after day or two day after, yeah. Chinese New Year,
Adam Curry: Taunton, nail, Taunton, nail. Taunton nails it
again.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, Taunton nailed it with this bullcrap
thing and I, we looked at all the different I was the big
promoter of this piece. I like to pieces. I like that one and
the quarantine Dodger that had the pinstripes, by Who is this?
Or this lotta lien,
Adam Curry: lots of bottling lots of lean, who was not Dutch
string lot deleted,
John C. Dvorak: not Dutch. And you asked, but you'd like to
goat, which is also tagged to Neil, which is the Fetta label,
which was cute, and had a lot of nice elements to it.
Adam Curry: Yes.
John C. Dvorak: Anything else that we liked? Yeah,
Adam Curry: that was the original finish goat milk feta.
Yeah, I liked that one. No, I think that was it. That was
probably it was anything else? No. It was. Tina said to me. You
know, I was listening to the show. On pod friend some one of
our 2.0 apps. Just I also I hear ser changing all the time
throughout the show. See ya. So it's an extra dimension that
delighted her I just wanted to pass that along. He's new
podcast, pretty shiny objects, new podcast. apps.com. Well, Dr.
Scott gets to do fun stuff, he gets to put crazy shit in there
when we're talking. It's all from the Art Generator. So it's
a good way for the art generate art to still get exposure. But
he always puts it in with a great topic. So it's always
funny.
John C. Dvorak: To know, Neil also had a night he did a series
of goat labels with the producer owned since 2000. Yes, yes. And
the last one, he had a very nice pretty goat head and the one he
finished with but he couldn't quite convince us. The bull the
bull, the Red Bull thing was a little, I would consider it an
off the wall pick. Yeah. Because we didn't talk about New Year at
all. And it was very rare. But it was something that I think we
needed to use because it wasn't going to be useful ever again.
And I should mention one more thing. People on evergreen art.
Know what that word evergreen refers to? I looked I looked
through the Evergreen art to there's a whole bunch of
evergreen art would show numbers. Oh, the Evergreen means
is something that we could go look at in a pinch. Maybe find
something there because it could be used forever. And if it's
very specific, or if it's got a show number on it that's not
evergreen. No, I've never will be and never will be so so we
stand with Evergreen means we
Adam Curry: have a new term that when new verb. If you do
something really cool, you just say oh man, I trumped it. Nailed
it.
John C. Dvorak: Taunton nailed
Adam Curry: ah, and the one other thing I wanted to mention.
Just as a fun little fun little fun fact. We were looking at
naming the show flew data. But we Oh yes. Yeah, we we rejected
that. Because it would consist of an axle a Gu, I believe? Yes.
On the eagle. And that is a character that in many cases,
most cases, the last time I did it, even Apple breaks the RSS
feed. You can't put that unless you'd like escape it. And
John C. Dvorak: actually, we had a lot of debate about this
because Adam was because I pushed through the art Adam was
adamant about using flu data because he just thought it was
so cute. And he knew he was his objection was largely Well, you
know, we should be the ones credited for coining it because
people are going to be using it all over the place. Which which
I
Unknown: wish didn't happen which didn't happen
John C. Dvorak: nobody used it but it's but so I finally I find
he beat me down.
Adam Curry: Oh man, You're so lame. Oh, oh, don't I'm going to
record these things. Now. You should hear the titles you come
up with the goat salad is good. Come on man.
John C. Dvorak: Like us and while Tom but that you were I
gave in I gave in. And that's when you typed it out too. And
you didn't realize it had this accent or goo that when I was
just I was shocked by the fact that you're not gonna you beat
me up and then you didn't get the usual use the blame.
Adam Curry: I didn't win the war and the battle fizzled. It was
really sad. And especially over the word de tot. It was it was
like a very, very bad day loss loss all around town to nail
Thank you very much. Great job. Thank you to all of our artists

it's good and he's creating new products that we if we had to
have a meeting about the store can you imagine that
John C. Dvorak: the guy have a meeting right now about this
drama tell Tony some all right all right first rule of
marketing is that you put your top sellers right in the front
you push those and you pull back and and stuff that's not really
moving. There's the biggest mistake marketing guys always
make it don't know what they're doing. You're not doing this but
the people the big mistake people make is oh this thing I
know it's great. I don't know why people aren't buying it.
Let's push it more now. It's not how you do it. You find it was
moving it push it more. I can't find I go on the site is too
deep. It's got too many layers to go down. I would like to see
the top movers get pushed to the front so it's easier to find.
For example, our anonymous lesbian was taught telling me
about a pink I think it's a no agenda hat she had she wears
around town and people look at it and go What's that and she
doesn't say much about it. But she has a pink girls baseball
cap which always looks good on lots of women looks good a pink
cap. I couldn't find it. I looked and looked and looked and
looked into it. I said here's this here's somewhere just
saying just trying to help
Adam Curry: Hmm It's interesting. When I Yeah, yeah,
that's hard. Although when i It's the trucker 33 hat. I think
I just
John C. Dvorak: I just maybe she's got a 33 head I'm not sure
what she's talking about. I couldn't find anything as if
Adam Curry: he just Bing it. The you get it? If you go into the
site, it's hard to find is that what you're saying? Yeah, yeah,
here. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: Tony can fix that. He got the message here
just for and it's free, free consulting.
Adam Curry: Wow, that was a longer meeting than was
necessary. I was happy we had no meeting.
Unknown: Sarah Gonzalez, I need to I need to give them the
Adam Curry: stereo car. Oh, sorry.
Unknown: You've got
John C. Dvorak: Sarah Gonzalez in Houston, Texas. Three Three.

types of karma available.
Unknown: You got karma
John C. Dvorak: just saying, hey, go, trap 3333 That's gonna
be a long show today. Yeah, your discussion of social media is
very important in your mention of clubhouse with a Gora Chinese
interests in the last show led me to donate. I was really
involved in a social media black chain called steam with two E's
Yes, early last year, the US based blockchain was taken over
by Chinese interests led by Justin son of Tron. This was a
deep POS attack, delegated proof of stake along with a known
vector and very large segment of the community engaged in a hard
fork to circumvent the Chinese have tak vector which was money,
money, money. There's a lot of scandal but it's very relevant
geopolitically. Here's a link to read more about the show and
he's got a
Adam Curry: link put it in the show notes. Good good.
John C. Dvorak: This one year old social media blockchain is
called hive can be viewed on P peaked pa K d.com. And a dozen
other domains and could be used to immediately immutably
immutably store the text archives for no agenda social if
you if you wish. I have plenty of tokens to make this happen if
someone wants to contact me, I am at E coin stammt. It's like E
coin another two words jam together e c o i n 's sta and t
like coin instant on no agenda social. This third 33333 Makes
me a knight if Adam will provide the penny. Yep,
Adam Curry: got it right there.
John C. Dvorak: Please Knight me sir. Eat go instant. Please add
freedom and friendship to the roundtable. Thanks for all the
value.
Adam Curry: I'd like to say something about hive. intimately
familiar with this, at least with the story as our very own
Sir Brian of London is heavily involved not just with hive. But
if you look at podcasting 2.0 he is he's very far along with
creating a bridge for hive tokens and the streaming
payments system that we're putting into place. There's the
value for value payments, so great. You're the second person
I've heard talk about it. But it's it's it is an interesting
story. And it is a Moreover, more. It's more funny because
Facebook is involved in this in this scandal. And it was a bunch
of people who said hey, screw you, China. Screw you China men.
Obviously racists. So thank you very much, Alex, we appreciate
that. And I'll see you at the roundtable.

hit in the mouth at almost the same time by my friend Manny. I
did buy some na shop items at Christmas but I'm pretty sure
I'm still a douchebag because I haven't donated so please do you
douche me and accept my donation of 333
Unknown: You've been deed deuced
Adam Curry: thank you both and everyone involved for all the
critical information over the past year I've wanted to donate
many times but between working 15 to 18 hour days for almost
five months while we literally lifted the entire come turning
into a new remote landscape and enduring a pay cut while trying
to procure arms and ammo. It never seemed to work out
understood. As always, it's just not a shaming exercise value is
what its value to you. And time talents and treasures where you
hand back I'm donating with something on my heart, in
addition to wanting to cease being a douchebag I hope he
might share a GoFundMe site of created on behalf of my inlaws
in South Korea. On February 2, we learned that my wife's
brother Phil, her last surviving immediate family member
unexpectedly and suddenly took his own life, leaving behind a
wife, 14 year old daughter and 12 year old fully disabled son,
whose congenital condition I forget the name of but back in
2015, Phil described it to me as one that also means a
significantly shortened lifespan. It's unlikely he'll
reach 20 years old. God bless you both for what you do. And
thank you in advance for anyone who's able to help us ease some
of their financial uncertainty in the wake of his death. Any
amount will be truly and honestly appreciated. Did he
also leave a didn't leave a link to the GoFundMe, did he? Do you
see that anywhere? No, I don't see it. Send that to me, ma'am.
John C. Dvorak: Send it to me and we'll look at we'll put a
link in the show notes. Eventually.
Adam Curry: We'll put it in the show notes. No problem, though.
But his last name is Lai Hyun Lai Han. So it's Phil. And then
his last name is La IHYUN. Yeah, heaping dose
John C. Dvorak: of karma.
Adam Curry: big heaping dose. Sorry.
Unknown: You've got karma.
John C. Dvorak: Mike Savelle is our last executive producer
$308.45 And he sent a little cute little note and it just
says Please continue to do what you to do as well. and such. So
jingles no karma. No agenda. Sincerely lovely. Like soda.
Ella, Shelby Township, Michigan is where he is. I want to read a
note in the meantime, before we get to Associate Executive
producers is from a woman that should be on the knighting list.
Lisa Stelter, but she came in with the with the night note
that we read, okay. But the donation wouldn't qualify. It's
just a round offer donation, but there's this note needs to be
read because it's kind of interesting. I think a lot of
people will relate to it. I finally reached Dame hood,
counting below, check to make sure she's on the list. Thank
you for your for the sanity. However, I do have the
difficulty that many other producers do in that I'm often
more stressed than I used to be by not following the universe be
party line, and NPR propaganda that all my friends and
acquaintances here in Chicagoland follow. In response
to the comment Adam made a couple of shows ago, social
media is not the only factor. I removed myself from social media
several months ago, because I was making it was making me very
anxious in general. But it only helps so much. Ever since my
husband hit me in the mouth, it has gotten harder and harder to
hang out or interact with the other parents in the area, even
more so in the past year. Of course, very few people have
been willing to meet in person in the past year anyway. But all
of our kids have been really hurt by this and it kills me
that no one seems to care much about that. Or they're in denial
that there will be a long term consequence for our children.
The most socialization my eldest daughter gets these days is a
virtual girl scout meeting once a week, which he generally
dislikes. I've expressed my concerns to the other parents,
but most of them respond that they are more worried about the
virus. And they roll their eyes at the crazy conspiracy theorist
they now think I am. The people I know are mostly from the local
homeschool community, who you would think would question the
government more but at least I have my husband, the family that
no agendas together truly does stay together. Wow.
Adam Curry: I don't have her on any less lists. Lisa Stelter.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. LISA Stelter, she's now a dame she is
she on the birthday list? Oh
Adam Curry: yes, yes, but she's becoming a dame as well. Yep.
And what's her name? Name?
John C. Dvorak: I think it's just Dame Lisa families.
Adam Curry: Okay. Cool. Nice now,
John C. Dvorak: I'll look to see but I sent this specific note in
and that she shouldn't be on the dame on the dame list. It's so
interesting
Adam Curry: how we first started talking about homeschooling
probably show five. You were once you still homeschooling,
Jay, when the when the when the show starts. Yeah, probably.
Yeah. And just look at how many people have decided that's the
way to go. Now.
John C. Dvorak: I don't know if there's more to her note, or she
said when she had to send her other note and talk about her
birthday. But no She may have mentioned some maybe one of the
notes coming up mentions this. And this really disturbed me.
Us, it seems as if the homeschoolers, many, many of
them are using the Howard Zinn book.
Adam Curry: Oh, my Let's talk. Yeah. I want to tell I have
feedback about that. We'll just talk about z and after the
donations. Yeah, because it's necessary and a lot of people
like that talk to
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, they did. John Kerry's next on the
list. He's our first Associate Executive producer from

jicama,
John C. Dvorak: not necessarily keep playing
Unknown: me and mar the general who's leading the new junta
urged the public today to quote join hands with a military to
achieve democracy. Instead 1000s of protesters confronted police
and pro democracy demonstrations. They were the
largest since the military coup nearly two weeks ago.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, so I've got two pronunciations for
hookah, which has always been used in the United States as
hookah because it's a kind of a South American thing I remember
when I was a kid that always taught about these who does and
it's gespannt I think it was derived from a Spanish word but
let's play this clip which is How to Pronounce punto in
American Oh, well under pronounce yes got
Adam Curry: it. Hunter Okay, that seems so that is to Amy's
off that sets the AMI I mean that was AMI doesn't isn't doing
it right, Hunter.
John C. Dvorak: That's not Ami I know.
Adam Curry: This is the official pronunciation AMI is not doing
it right.
John C. Dvorak: No, it's not Ami. That's our PBS woman.
Adam Curry: Sound like Amy. Oh, Nora. Now what's her name? Not
John C. Dvorak: Nora.
Adam Curry: Well, then give me your name. You don't know her
name either. This
John C. Dvorak: is great. Because now you've said you said
Amy. You've locked me out her getting her name. On tanks.
Adam Curry: Her name is Tuesday, the
John C. Dvorak: woman who's the PBS NewsHour. Come on. I've only
we only had her on the show a million times. Clips. Okay,
Adam Curry: I'm drawing a blank man.
John C. Dvorak: I know. Thanks, Amy. Okay, let's play pronounce
punto in you in the UK.
Adam Curry: Santa. Oh, Santa. So that's so got to pronounce Judy.
It's UD Judy
John C. Dvorak: Judy. Oh
Adam Curry: was beauty
Unknown: UUT that makes it better be honest. That makes it
better.
John C. Dvorak: So UD has decided that she's British. Yes.
Adam Curry: junta. How are the junta doing the junta are in
beta right now.
John C. Dvorak: I find it offensive that we have American
commentators using British pronunciation just find it like
oh he went to university that is a British ism yes it is Canadian
say that too. But Americans don't say that. You say he went
to the university right? Okay. And well that just wanted to get
that out. I
Adam Curry: know I like it and I think it's important that we
from we'll never forget her name. Now. We will always
remember UD it is UD from PBS cuz she pronounces it Giunta
then we're calling you, UT UT is at the uni
John C. Dvorak: UT. Alright, where do we go from here? Do you
want to talk about Ziff Zinn's in?
Adam Curry: Well, first, I'd like to talk about China real
quick. Okay, because I have a tick tock Fetta Anala update.
This is hack feta. Yes. This is the viral recipe for the block
of feta cheese.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, yes. You're talking about this cheese dish
that you actually made? Yes.
Adam Curry: And it's extremely tasty. You can't make it all the
time, though. So I've had producers all over the world
looking at this. Sir wonder helm in Finland went searching. And
this thing started two years ago. And this woman is a food
blogger who started this to but and yes, there's been some
issues with supply in Finland. But this they kind of came back
roaring back after two years very oddly, one of our producers
Ryan did an analysis. He's a marketing a marketing person.
And he says what is likely happening with some of the
virality is funny. I said, Hey, isn't this just the Chinese
algorithm of TiC tock just pushing this up for some reason?
Here's what does come into play. The tic tock algorithm works
really on hashtags, this is what I'm learning now. So the minute
something goes to the top of the trending list, all everyone will
try and use that hashtag, which in this case was hashtag feta
pasta to do other things. So that means all of a sudden,
there's a guy with a snake showing up at the top of Tik Tok
because the bull is but
John C. Dvorak: this is Craigslist posters. But
Adam Curry: But I did find something which is interesting
how China has just finalized an agreement with the EU over feta
cheese, which is an agreement on the so called G I. The
geographical indications, which is the same legislation is what
most of the EU is doing is making sure that you can't call
your drink cognac, if it's not from cognac that you can't call
your sprouts brussels sprouts if they're not from Brussels. And
champagne Kiante these things. So China has now agreed they
will protect feta cheese, which there's only where the feta
cheese can only come from what Bulgaria I would know it's a
Greek it's Greek product, so they're going to protect that. I
was just thinking, maybe they were just messing around by
because none of the stuff that you saw in these tic tock videos
was official Fetta.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, can I ask a question? Yeah. So all of this
had to do with the Detroit protecting that fair, that
trademark, if you want to call it that, but I'm just saying I
have no idea. Well, I'm saying and that would be protected in
China, a country notorious for not making cheese or eating
cheese, or having any experience with cheese in their entire
history. And in fact, most Chinese hate cheese, dad, great.
I'm glad we got that done. Because you know, these Chinese
are going to take advantage of this feta thing?
Adam Curry: I don't know. I'm not clay with just saying it was
an interesting coincidence. That is Chinese algorithms,
intellectual property
John C. Dvorak: issues with China. We
Adam Curry: Yeah, no kidding. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: no kidding is the right word. No kidding. The
fact that they've gone along with the program with Windows
and some of these other things for as long as they have is kind
of surprising me. Right? You're waiting for that other shoe to
drop?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Whatever you think that China is just wants
to be very, very, very, very, very clear. Despite what you saw
on the leaked PowerPoint presentation, China is not
building a time machine. That's the big news. Is all the science
nerds are going crazy over this. This PowerPoint that shows the
John C. Dvorak: time and Shaq ran on this.
Adam Curry: China's largest state physics lab. Somehow a
PowerPoint leaked out that there's and the question is the
Chinese government collaborating with this? With some startup
that's mentioned this. I don't know exactly who that is to
build to build a time machine. The thing is, there's all kinds
of time related stuff in this PowerPoint, which I don't really
understand. 200 million or see the text. It's like, they have
all kinds of weird concepts and he has all translated from
Chinese. I just thought it was cute that Time Magazine is now
making sure you know this Because this apparently so much
confusion that they're going to be doing time travel, I would
say they probably are probably lying to us.
John C. Dvorak: I know I've been doing it. The I got a, I got a
system in my bedroom, I will go in there, there's a big comfy
looking thing, you can lay down on it, and then you'll get
forwarded in time by eight hours.
Adam Curry: We've been talking a lot about Bill Gates. And in
fact, you just mentioned just mentioned something about
Windows. Yeah. And what about intellectual property?
John C. Dvorak: China's intellectual property in check,
you have to remember I was given this lecture when I first time
first time and only time I've ever been to Russia. But one of
the guys there he says, you know, you have to understand
that socialist countries believe that all intellectual property
belongs to the people. Yes, that's right. And don't end the
Chinese are all into that. And don't think otherwise.
Adam Curry: Tell me this is or is not a native ad.
Unknown: The FBI has issued a new alert stemming from the
cyber attack on a water treatment plant near Tampa,
Florida last week the FBI is calling on local governments and
companies to stop using Microsoft Windows seven because
it could be compromised seeing a lack of security updates makes
windows seven and easy target hackers trying to remotely
increase the level of a dangerous chemical and the water
John C. Dvorak: wow, I mean, I knew the story but
Adam Curry: what and what outfit is still using Windows seven I
mean you can't be operating a water plant with with outdated
unsupported software can you
John C. Dvorak: know they stopped supporting Windows seven
what two years ago a
Adam Curry: while ago? Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: I think it's a native ad from Microsoft. Yeah.
To get him to upgrade Yeah. I thought that was a dual Nate
Okay, here. I think it was it was I don't think it was a
native ad I think a native ad is something you pay to have pay to
play right. I think this was was the new story that Microsoft
planet
Adam Curry: Oh, that's good. Yeah, that would be even you
right? That's probably how they would roll No, you're right on
my thinking because a native
John C. Dvorak: ad the funny thing and dessert was earmarks
of native ads one day or a bit much and two they're always like
30 seconds 60 seconds two minutes they have a they have a
time cut off almost as though because it's an ad they somebody
paid for Yeah. And that was like a very short piece so no, I
don't think so. Good work though.
Adam Curry: Yeah, you should not be using Windows seven people
John C. Dvorak: that I know of a couple windows seven machines
Adam Curry: playing financial What if there's a so much the
kind of like this big reset stories are popping up
everywhere? China's Belt and Road? Just you know, it's going
to be a silk road with green energy? Oh, yeah. Sure. It
John C. Dvorak: is Chinese authorities. And he boldly I've
got a I've got this is a story from PBS about the O T F Fund.
Is this UT? Yes, it's UT. UT is on here reporting about the OTF.
And then she kicks it to somebody I want and I kind of
reemphasized kind of this is a story about this fund, which
sounds like a CIA operation that had something like $24 million
budget. And Trump's boys. You know, they said this is just
throwing money away. And they're the ones who develop signal. Who
they shouldn't be licensing to people it seems to me who
developed signal
Adam Curry: this OTF fund BS. I don't know anything about him.
OTF.
John C. Dvorak: You didn't either. Enjoy her just reports.
Let's start with OTF fund one.
Unknown: Today a small US government funded organization.
The Open Technology Fund received money that was frozen
last year, referred to as OTF. It advocates for internet
freedom. That kind of freedom that was cut off last week by
the Myanmar military and restricted by governments
including China, which banned the BBC yesterday and Iran. Nick
Schifrin reports on how the battle over ot F's funding was a
symbol of troop administration turmoil, and how this small
group wages a global war
in the 21st century war between activists and authoritarians.
protesters tried to avoid beatings, torture, and even
death with the digital shields of Dimitri Vitale. Vitaly is
working mission protect Bella roussy and activists from
government surveillance and help them defeat Internet censorship.
Vitaly is activism was born from his father's bravery. Vitaly
Vitalia was a journalist forced to defect from Russia after he
criticized the government. He left in 1989 the year the Berlin
Wall fell Eastern Europe course with a fever for freedom
encouraged for decades by the US Federal broadcaster Voice of
America,
the courier ship without guns She goes into battle armed with
a greatest weapon of.
VOA promoted American ideals by presenting objective news
citizens around the world are being tortured, imprisoned and
even killed for their online speech.
Today VOA is digital descendent is the open technology fund that
promotes American ideals by maintaining internet freedom.
Its budget only 20 million its budget only 20 million IT staff
only 1111 but OTS technology that became signal and signals
technology now powers Facebook Messenger, Skype and WhatsApp
for more than 2 billion people. OTF technology is on two thirds
of the world's phones. Fo TF also funds Italia.
Adam Curry: Wow. I think I think the story may be confusing some
things, but okay, I have thoughts, but I would like to
hear the presentation.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I want to hear your thoughts first.
Adam Curry: Oh, this is internet in a suitcase.
John C. Dvorak: I might be I think I think it might because
they do discuss that in the upcoming clips. But they have a
budget of 20 million,
Adam Curry: which is not much
John C. Dvorak: for 11 people. Yeah, I worked for a company at
20 million bucks and 11 people No, it's not much. You gotta
Adam Curry: let me also you gotta you gotta you have
1,000,005 payroll, each test just for you. And now when we're
running the show,
John C. Dvorak: and then they have they develop signal, which
they didn't know give that away, do they? I thought it was a
licensing deal.
Adam Curry: I don't that's the part I don't understand. I'm not
well versed. But the signal the WhatsApp founder left in disgust
and that Moxie. And then he created signals. So for them to
say it's the same technology I think is bogus ative I don't
know think it is but yeah, I could be wrong. This is this is
this has got to be a CIA link you tell type deal. Sure.
John C. Dvorak: And they're you know, 11 people 20 million.
Okay, I can live with that. How about this, but the way they say
it, it's like only 11 mil only 20 million oh my god, only 20
million. And then later in the report, you'll see kind of the
contrary, look at a lower number all they got all this money and
there's no money. So let's play the second clip. But then
Unknown: arrived, Michael power
that I want to clear out the problem the problems in the
agency both the mismanagement, and the bias.
Last year, Pac became CEO of the US Agency for global media,
which oversees federal broadcasters, including VOA and
funds agencies, including OTF. He targeted the very government
employees he led pushed on by President Trump.
If you heard what's coming out of the Voice of America, it's
disgusting.
Pac fired senior aides, editors and entire boards of trustees.
He kicked foreign journalists out of the country, an
investigative journalist for being critical of President
Trump. He withheld OTS congressionally mandated budget,
leaving his own soldiers on the battlefield temporarily
defenseless.
It's truly not clear to me what his motivations are or who these
actions benefit other than authoritarian regimes and
enemies of internet freedom and freedom of expression around the
world.
Laura Cunningham is the CEO of the Open Technology Fund, Pac
tried to fire her and the entire OTF board, and then tried to
effectively destroy TF by borrowing it from federal
funding,
removing support for OTF and removing support for those
technologies. We're putting people who have risked their
lives at even greater risk of being attacked and silenced by
authoritarian regimes.
But people like NEMA Fuck,
I have had to distance myself on my family quite a bit to
increase their safety.
fought to me is an Iranian born activist. The Iranian government
considers his work such a threat. It's not safe for him to
tell his family back in Iran. What he does, his software can
do is OTF funded and protects Iranian demonstrators. You
watched during the 2009 Green Revolution.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. Yeah, there's your connection. But as
if OTF being there or not being there is disguised are already
on the list. I mean, what difference does it make but
okay, so this this is a very shady operation,
Adam Curry: Bruce Schneier. Hey, Bruce Schneier is on the
Advisory Council.
John C. Dvorak: And that name, I should know, but yeah, he's
Adam Curry: the he's the security guy, Bruce Schneier.
He's very famous. Oh, that guy? Oh, yes.
John C. Dvorak: Yes, yes.
Adam Curry: Good to say. Chad Hurley. YouTube.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, that's into
Adam Curry: Cory Doctorow. Let's I just want to make sure we know
who we're telling. The people are bogus.
John C. Dvorak: Mr. Copyright All right, let's so the end of
it. They give a little interesting gratuitous slam.
Well, you'll hear a Play Part Three
Unknown: McKinsey advise Purdue how to avoid FDA and pharmacy
restrictions they've laid. Why Purdue
Adam Curry: pharmacy restrictions.
John C. Dvorak: You're on the wrong one.
Adam Curry: That's interesting. It's Yes, I'm sorry. It's the
opioid clip that look just the same. Today a small youth to
him. It's no yes, I know. I know. I'm sorry. It's all out of
order
Unknown: and last year's protests as Iran shut down the
internet and persecuted protesters for their digital
communications. In 2012, blogger Satara Shetty criticized the
regime. The Cyber Police unit arrested him he died in custody.
I think like secure communication is is the step
zero of any change in the in any society.
But he too was cut off when pack froze Oh TFS funding,
America must reassert itself. In the new global war of ideas
pack argues OTF was mismanaged and revitalized an alternate
internet freedom organizations. But his real motivation,
according to a dozen interviews conducted by PBS NewsHour, might
be this group. The Falun Gong opposes the Chinese Communist
Party. To circumvent Beijing's Great Firewall, it funded
technology called Ultrasurf. It was backed by an unusual
consortium of Pac and Trump allies. OTs predecessor declined
to provide funding and Ultrasurf refused to submit to OTF
vetting. But in November Pak signed a contract to fund Ultra
serve with up to $2 million dollars $2 million.
In this episode, we sit down with Michael Pax
and just a few days later gave an on camera interview to the
Falun Gong backed epic times.
Michael packs such a pleasure to have you on American thought
leaders.
Thank you for having me on. But Pax
era us AGM is ending ignominiously. Last month in the
space of three weeks, whistleblowers accused pack of
propaganda, DCS Attorney General accused him of illegally
funneling money. And then he resigned under pressure from the
Biden transition team.
Adam Curry: Ha. Well, that's really happening. So Ultrasurf
is a VPN service that has been running for a while mainly in
regards to Iran and China. And they run servers so if the Trump
administration wanted Ultrasurf what a great way to sniff out
everything everyone's doing. By providing VPN. Yeah. The OTF
that's super interesting. There's a lot of names here I
recognize some Dutch people as well who I think may be regarded
quite highly I'm gonna have Ancilla take a look at the she
knows all these people. It reminded me of the internet and
a suitcase I dug up one of our clips from oh my goodness, what
is this from? This has got to be old. This has got to be old
because it's a Hillary days. Yes. 2011
Unknown: Part of what Secretary Clinton calls a venture
capitalists approach to addressing the wide range of
challenges to democracy, and sound familiar human rights
activists face in internet repressive environments around
the world. centralized servers,
like this one can easily be cut by governments. But the internet
in a suitcase is designed to give dissidents a mobile web
with mesh technology that runs through cell phones and other
devices making it harder to cut. The founder of his own
clearinghouse of confidential documents, John Yun worries that
American suitcase servers will serve another purpose.
The suitcase is meant to give the illusion that you can run
these electronic devices without going through national systems.
And that may be true but they will they will not be outside
the US system.
Yang says the suitcase is just part of so called liberation
technology that has advantages for the US
the price that you get for being empowered is that the United
States gets to watch what you're doing and probably yes, what
you're doing.
And it isn't just governments according to the hackers
collective anonymous, which released 70,000 classified
emails from defense contractor HBGary Federal about the Roma's
coin program.
Adam Curry: I mean, it's another two minutes I know if we had to
listen to it all but it's I think we know what it is sounds
like the internet in a suitcase I'm just missing USA ID in this
story and they're not a part of that yet. It's odd Well,
John C. Dvorak: it's something to keep an eye on but it sounds
like an intelligence operation to me in every way shape and
form. Yeah, yeah. And they just would this another 20 million
bucks they can you know, they've got they gotta get their money
where they can't because they're gonna get very soon kicked out
of Afghanistan, even though Biden probably won't be the one
to do it. And you've
Adam Curry: got to wonder I mean, it's it's, it's almost
insulting I mean, people in Myanmar. They've got I've got
internet there's hackers there those guys who know stuff they
can set up mesh networks. I mean, doesn't we don't always
need to come in there unless we're doing something there.
Because it sounds a lot like a color revolution to me. When you
caught off that is not just the internet, they caught off
television radio, the military says it's how the revolutions
work now, I think they're going to put Hillary's girl right back
in place. They're going to install her make sure
everything's cool.
John C. Dvorak: That would be Nudelman.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, the SU Yi Sun sin Psalm sings and
altar. Yes,
John C. Dvorak: yeah, I think there's something weird about
that country, something's off. And
Adam Curry: where is the shaming of Zuckerberg because we know
that it was clearly Facebook that that got people murdered in
Myanmar. And that everyone was saying Facebook was responsible
for this.
John C. Dvorak: I don't know where the shaming is. It's not
on the checklist. Obviously. They'd be shaming, you know, you
must knuckle under this something.
Adam Curry: He's he's an he's not well loved. I don't think in
Silicon Valley. I think there's seems to be some, some push back
against him.
John C. Dvorak: I don't know. Now, the other big story that
no, that's not a big story. It's just a story. But the big story
which nobody's talking about as this Indian farmers revolution,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. There's a lot going on. So India,
John C. Dvorak: the best they could come up with was on the on
a podcast called the candid Navion. Okay. And I have three
clips from them, plus a bonus clip from a different podcast.
What George Galloway's got a podcast. So let's go Indian
farmers candid Navion. The first one,
Unknown: police in India have set up concrete barriers and
laid razor wire to stop protesting farmers from entering
New Delhi 10s of 1000s of farmers have demonstrated for
months demanding the government withdrawn new agriculture laws.
It might be the biggest protest in human history. But to be
totally honest, I only really found out about it after Rihanna
tweeted about it. What are the farmers protests about
the farmers protests, it's happening in India right now is
about three months old, give or take it. It kind of started in
November, in Punjab as a city and it eventually became a march
to delete, which was incredibly violent. Trudeau would speak out
at one point about it in December,
the situation is concerning. And we're all very worried about
family and friends. I know. That's the reality for many of
you. Let me remind you, Canada will always be there to defend
the right peaceful protest.
And then it's been sitting outside Delhi for about two
months, just waiting to kind of come to a deal with the
government on these farmers bills. Currently, the system is
known as the the Monday system, which is sold to a wholesaler
who turns around and sells it to essentially buyers. But what
comes with it in most importantly, is a minimum
Senator price, or MSP, which ensures that farmers are getting
a certain fixed amount for their goods that is predictable, and
sustainable, which allows them to plan for every year. So the
government is going to get rid of the MSP. So they're going to
do away with essentially this minimum pricing. And then
they're also going to open up the space to corporate so that
corporates can then directly engage farmers and not through
the Monday system or this wholesale system. Also that
corporations can start, you know, snatching up land. And
then also corporations can start stockpiling produce. And so the
debates on whether reform is necessary or not, it's just that
this is a wrong reform, and you guys didn't use a proper
process, repeal everything, we'll get back to the table.
Adam Curry: Well, what was that at the end? You've got to repeal
everything because you're not using the proper process because
you're protesting I don't quite understand.
John C. Dvorak: No, no, there was they are protesting because
they ramrodded these bills through Oh, at the behest of
large corporations that are do you know that do the big big
style of farming and they're going to and they know that if
they get rid of the MSP the minimum price pricing they will
just blow ball everybody ruin these farmers? That's the idea.
The farmers know it. That's where they're just like a
million of them protesting and they're going to be out of
business. And that was that was the whole thing is rigged. You
can't set up a system I mean, yeah, oh, capitalism, we got to
do there really got to be capitalist absolutist, but you
can't set up a system that works a certain way, and then pull the
rug out from under it and call it capitalism. I mean, that's
your just exploitation, it seems. LET'S PLAY CLIP two.
Unknown: In November, a reported 250 million Indians held a
general strike in solidarity with the farmers. As I said,
this is huge. huge, and it's been happening for a while. But
while some people like me may have been unaware of it all
before Rihanna and Greta tunberg Got involved. Canada's Punjabi
diaspora has been following it closely.
Adam Curry: I just need to give two data points. Rihanna was
paid one and a half million dollars to post about it. This
is fact true. It's out there. And good at the tune Betty was
also either paid or told to tweet about it because she
tweeted her talking points list that was given to her by sources
unknown. So there is question is who put them up to that?
John C. Dvorak: Well, I don't know if you think that that was
like a moment of corruption. Obviously, the there's farmers,
organizations, I'm sure they had the money and they couldn't get
the they couldn't get. It's probably kind of a smart version
of native advertising. They got no attention from anybody except
some Canadians and mostly the the expats from the Putin job,
which apparently Canada's full of. Okay, and Americans don't
give a crap. Yeah. Have you heard this story with any
details? No,
Adam Curry: only related to our show, the only here I haven't
heard about anywhere else.
John C. Dvorak: Once in a while somebody will write in. And so
they had to read so okay, you get Rihanna as Agent you don't
talk to her. And he said, we can't get this word out. But we
know of Rihanna tweets, it may be somebody will start paying
attention like to scan the candy Navy and podcast. And now we're
gonna just do that sort of thing. She's not political.
Really? We'll get $50,000 is not No, no, no. 60 Now, it goes on
and on and on. Half a million now. I don't think so. 700
videos? No, no, no. A million. Now. You're talking? Yeah, you
Adam Curry: getting in the ballpark? And we don't want you
know what, give us 1,000,005 We'll throw in that kid from
from Sweden. Come on.
Unknown: That's how we do it. That would be right.
John C. Dvorak: So this story is not gonna be reported. Because
Trump's too important. But let's get his nose. This is not gonna
get any ratings. But let's listen to the third clip, which
is George Galloway's podcast on our tea.
Unknown: It's a local Indian issue, of course. But it's a
global issue, because it's a fight about the nature of
agriculture agree in a capitalist system. You see,
there's been so much pressure globally, George against
farmers, small farmers, agricultural workers, and so on.
This pressure is being borne by them. And it is coming from
large corporate entities, whether it's the big
agricultural firms, or it's the supply chains. In other words,
you know, companies that buy the goods and want to push prices
down as much as possible. There's a global appetite for
basically agricultural insurrection against the supply
chains against big big box stores, and so on. And I think
the local issue of these three laws that the Indian farmers are
fighting against, has sparked interest around the world
because people who are worried about who makes our food, what
kind of food is it? Healthy food is it you know, food that's
called to sustain us? These questions have been in on
people's minds and during the pandemic, even more so, as
supply chains have been disrupted, as people's
livelihoods have been damaged. So I feel like what's happening
in India is the frontline of a global struggle between people's
need to survive to eat, and the other minorities need to
basically continue to make vast profits. You saw the Oxfam
report, George that was released during the Davos Summit. You
know, the World Economic Forum dish showed that 10 of the
world's largest trillionaires made, you know, half a trillion
dollars during the pandemic. This is the frontline of a
global struggle, George that's how we have to
Adam Curry: see it on the Punjab pulling upon job
John C. Dvorak: I think this is the this is not gonna go away as
it started with France, the French remember them?
Adam Curry: You know what, not just that we've had farmer
protests in the Netherlands in Germany.
John C. Dvorak: That's right. I forgot the Netherlands is all in
on these is not just a part
Adam Curry: of the great reset, quote, unquote. Maybe what I
hear about a lot is food deserts food scarcity. We're
John C. Dvorak: going to run out of food and going on for a
decade. No,
Adam Curry: I know, but I'm seeing it more now. And now
you've got this is the clearly Okay, the way I would do this
Rihanna or not, I'm not quite sure how that fits into it, is
we need to save the planet. Because we're all going to die.
We can't produce enough food. And I'm really sorry. We have to
bring it To our buddies here, the big M Monsanto. They're
already responsible for half the food deserts in the world. We
have to we have to industrialize it. I'm sorry, I really got to
get rid of you guys. I just don't understand why they're
doing that this way.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I'm my suspicions centered around
Greta.
Adam Curry: Right, that climate change shit comes in the you
know, the you know, something's up. Yeah. And it's
John C. Dvorak: bothersome and so I don't know how to feel
about the whole thing. I don't like the idea of this phony
baloney, you know, this is almost capitalist fault. And
that's going to be just a lot of tax on capitalism, these big
corporations that are acting like this. This is not
representative of good old fashioned capitalism by any
means. No, it's you know, it's it's trusts and instant kinds of
thing gouging, slavery, low balling all the worst things you
can imagine. In an unregulated, and
Adam Curry: what we know from from our few producers, who we
are in contact with, from India, most of these farmers have a
very small plot very small. And there's already all these
problems with this, like Africa, lots of problems with the
patented seeds, that kind of thing. Now, the patented seeds
things a disaster. So there's another element. We have an
ongoing strife between India and Pakistan, Pakistan is completely
up China's but I think so you'd have to take that into
consideration. It could be Chinese messaging, I'm not sure.
And, you know, the fact that India has shut down PayPal right
now you can't pay pal us from India. Why? What are they doing?
John C. Dvorak: Why? That's the what's the big deal? They're
going
Adam Curry: to ban Bitcoin they think but so so there's
something going on? There's there's reasons for it. We
haven't figured it out yet. And I And yes, the Greta angle,
because it bothers me. But if you've got 1.5 As reported for
Rihanna, now still, that's that's, and you hear the guy
repeating it. I didn't know about until Rihanna told me till
Rihanna told me to ever Yeah. Why is he saying that? Why is
that? Why the emphasis on release?
John C. Dvorak: I think it's just his way of being irked
about it. Yeah. I don't think it was any more to it than that. I
do have one. Since you brought up climate change, you do the
one. I'm gonna do a piece on this. By the way, I started to
see I've already gotten to eclipse for all these climate
change COVID And climate change they're trying to hook up. Yeah,
you're desperate to hook these two together, because they got
everybody all freaked out in panic limits.
Adam Curry: Let me tell you how it goes. Because we didn't take
care of the earth, because we didn't take care of the climate.
That's why you get all this weird stuff happening in the
world. And that's how we got COVID. So we need to do more
against climate change that we don't get the next COVID This is
exactly what they're saying.
John C. Dvorak: Well, that's one of the elements but that doesn't
get people as freaky as COVID done no, no COVID is I don't
know what they're gonna do. But but here's the climate change
means COVID clip, which is the only one I have oh, there's
plenty of clips like this
Unknown: to Cambridge have discovered a possible link
between the emergence of the Coronavirus and climate change.
CBS 17 Storm Team meteorologist Brian hunt and JR explains that
possible link
like SARS and MERS COVID-19 is believed to originate from bats.
And a new study published last week suggests climate change was
the mechanism to allow the virus to mutate to be able to be
transmitted to humans. The study published in the journal Science
of the total environment found that habitats in southern China
allowed for a diverse bat populations to develop. This
region of China has changed his vegetation over the last century
due to effects of climate change. According to the study,
they analyzed vegetation and bat data from the early 20th
century. And compare that to today to find upwards of 40
different species of bat may have moved into the region,
bringing around 100 New Coronavirus types to the area.
Most bats carry about three Corona viruses last the majority
of which cannot impact humans. But if enough of the different
viruses intermingle and mutate, they can be transmitted to
humans, like with COVID 19 and SARS and MERS before it.
Southern China isn't the only place impacted by climate
change. parts of Central Africa and Central and South America
have also seen an increase in new bat populations. The
researchers echo calls from other studies asking for
economic recovery efforts to include addressing climate
change. Meteorologist Brian Hutton Jr, CBS 17 News.
John C. Dvorak: Huh Well heard of this journal but okay, they
apparently have a good PR paper. Number one, climate change
generally causes supposedly, if climate, there's my message
again, wait an hour, a climate change? Are you there? By the
way? I'm listening to you. Climate change generally,
because it's global warming, has animals moving north into areas
that are more temperate because it's getting too damned hot
where they're from? How is it that these bats move from the
colder areas down to the hotter areas that are now hotter than
ever? Because of climate change? Why are they going in the wrong
direction? That question is not addressed. The second one is now
we have all these new species. I thought climate change was
making all these species go away. killing the animals
extinct the
Adam Curry: next big extinction, the extinction event coalition,
or they call it extinction.
John C. Dvorak: Extinction. Gs distinction. Rebellion. Yeah,
well, that's the group who was extinction rebellion. So so the
basis of this argument doesn't even make any sense based on the
climate change models that they're throwing at us. It's
just annoys me to know and they're just trying to create
this again. But I think as we pointed this out, it's
Adam Curry: an opportunity to packaging opportunity. We can
roll up Rihanna, we can throw in the Greta Thun Berry and we can
add an Al Gore I mean, the total package price two mil whatever,
you get some tweet doctored
John C. Dvorak: evidence, doctored
Adam Curry: evidence. Yeah, well, that and what's annoying
in all this is report after report now streaming and I'm
sure it's not meant to be that the lockdowns in fact, made the
Earth warm up a little bit, not much, but significant enough and
noticeably, according to the scientists. It's everywhere. Oh,
wait a minute, because we didn't have that much pollution. The
sun keyed it up the Earth more. Oh. So you know what's coming
next. You know what's coming next?
John C. Dvorak: Well, they gotta, they gotta pull that. No,
because they can't lock people up. If it turns out locking him
up, makes the things get warmer.
Unknown: That's what's kind of a Bill
John C. Dvorak: Gates again. That's
Adam Curry: Bill Gates, Bill Gates. Yeah, that's coming. I
don't know, John, I think we're going to go through this this
year will be I predict even crazier than last year in a
different way. But it may be even crazier. These people are
unhinged and nuts. I was just texting with Willow this
morning. You know, they just replaced their their Prime
Minister, who's the Prime Minister? Draghi, the former
central banker? Dude, yeah. When you put the central bankers in
charge of the countries Hello. That's not going to end well.
No. You know what else is happening? You know, do you
remember this is part of the climate change. In the
Netherlands, they no longer they've told everybody, no more
gas for you. You can't buy a house with gas. There's no gas,
electricity is all electricity, no gas for your heating, no gas
for your cooking. No gas for your hot water. No. And it's
coming here at the verge. Now the verge will print anything
for money. And they have a huge article, read this article about
how we got duped into cooking with gas and they assert they
assert that the public was duped into using this hazardous
pollutant? Yes, yes. Gas Stove. I'm reading from the article.
gas stoves actually unleash indoor air pollutants like soot,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide. Beyond that
greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels like natural gas
drive climate change.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, that's a terrible, by the way I shouldn't
before you continue, I want you to finish this Washington State,
especially that the area that we have a house in is all as they
did this years and years ago, I think it was in the 70s they
decided there's no more gas. Everything's electricity because
we got these dams and read and the gas read white put these
pipes in. They're dangerous. And so they took the gas out.
There's no gas, for example, in Port Angeles, Washington and
most of that Peninsula. It's all electricity. And it was cheap
when they first did it. Of course then they took the dams
out because of climate change and it's hurting the environment
and the salmon can swim up river you know, we're doing a fine job
of bypassing it and they took the dams on net. Now it costs a
fortune to turn your stove on because it's a stupid electric
stove that does a crappy job. This guys are nuts because gas
burns beautifully. It doesn't put soot who gets sweat from
there? So hold on,
Adam Curry: let me let me this is a debunking it actually, I'm
quoting unleashes indoor indoor air pollutants like soot.
Formaldehyde Do you believe that to be true?
John C. Dvorak: No, I don't believe it to be true.
Adam Curry: Carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide
John C. Dvorak: it doesn't release carbon monoxide because
you'd be dead that's what you think. If you start a fire a
barbecue in your house with charcoal Yes, nothing but carbon
monoxide comes out let me zip everything comes off. That's
where you get your suit and your carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide and you could kill people barbecue inside the house
that's why you're not supposed to do it. But definitely go and
clean burning gas stove. This is bull crap.
Adam Curry: Today gas groups listen to this from the same
article. This is pot calling the kettle black. Today gas groups
pay social media influencers to advertise the suppose it
benefits of cooking with fossil fuel. Like you didn't get paid
to structure that sentence. I'm not cooking with fossil fuel.
Honey crank up the dinosaurs. A public relations representative
even posed as a resident in a neighborhood to stir up backlash
against building codes that would discourage natural gas
hookups in new construction. Yes, of course. I live in Texas
we got a lot of gas here throughout this winter which has
been not just unseasonably cold, but record breaking in some
cases, global warming our monthly bill now we heat the
entire downstairs from a gas fireplace. And we have gas oven
and gas stove and we cook six, six days out of the week. Our
monthly gas bill What do you think that is? $250.30 bucks.
What? Yes. Now, electricity just for keeping the upstairs heated
when I'm here in the studio. And me we have LED lights so I don't
know where your computers are running. Now that's that's 200
bucks a month. And that's when we're not using the air
conditioner because it's not the summer it goes up a lot. But the
gas is 30 bucks a month and I have the fireplace on all day.
So seems like a good deal to
John C. Dvorak: me. Now they're just trying to screw us. And
it's shameful that these these magazines, online, whatever you
want to call them The Verge. The Verge would take an ad like that
and run it out to just have any indication anywhere that's paid
for by somebody. It's got to do that somewhere.
Adam Curry: The Verge Well, you know, the Verge is where dudes
named Ben go to test their their browser, because it's so many
trackers and ads in on their pages. Let me see who wrote it
here. Justine Kolyma. Let's see who Justine comm is. She's a
science reporter at the verge, covering environment and climate
change. And okay, he should be ashamed
John C. Dvorak: of herself as a writer.
Adam Curry: Probably. No, definitely. I don't see anything
that shows any advertising at all here but
John C. Dvorak: what about the very end? Is this anything like
it contributed something remember?
Adam Curry: No, it refers to this other person, a different
article, her name is LIBOR. Who is this maybe that's Oh, that's
also that's Mother Jones, a brother at the gas industry is
paying Instagram influencers to gush over gas stoves. This is a
fight I like this we're gonna have influencers up against
influencers. Cool.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, that'd be fun. I'm surprised it wasn't
written the follow up yet, but I'm doing it this way the
sentence. The influencers are paid to gush over dangerous gas
stoves. Yes,
Adam Curry: that's how you want to do it. Dangerous gas stoves
and then not doing just just saying soot and formaldehyde.
That doesn't impress anybody. Again, again, curried word,
group. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: Where's the suit? I've been using gas stoves
for, I don't know. 40 years and I've got a I don't turn the fan
on. Usually I just turned it on the gas. I'd never seen any
Should you just train them they do they think everybody's an
idiot
Unknown: yeah
Adam Curry: hidden mama sucking in the abandoned you might suck
it in such sounds like they got the old playback book back
playbook back. It's what I was gonna say just more sit. I don't
know man they need to upgrade their messaging they need to do
something because this is just annoying and I'd rather than rip
the band aid off same for the farmers just tell the farmers
are screwed learn to code
John C. Dvorak: Yes, learn to code
Adam Curry: they're in the right country. I mean they're gonna
have people who know how to code there. They didn't learn to code
learn to code to alright.
John C. Dvorak: quickie here Yeah, sure. Discipline one me me
found and on the local station there in Fort Worth, and said I
should play it I so I don't know why. And then Oh, I see why this
is I didn't even play the whole thing. only have six seconds
that important part. Wait, wait, stop. This is about that giant
pile up. Oh, in doubt, which everybody's seen the videos of
cars flying all over the place now. Yeah, here it goes.
Unknown: Yeah. And we're now looking according to officials
at at least 133 vehicles that were involved.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, gosh. Really? Yeah. Started off at 72.
But somehow it got to 133. Yeah. Yeah, I
Adam Curry: think five people died. That was bad.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, it was a mess. It was actually quite the
thing to watch.
Adam Curry: Well, I'm very used to that. In another ones, you
know, back in the day, when they had all this mist. They would
have chain accidents. They call them getting bolts in. And they
would be some 80 kilometers at because people just because you
don't see anything because of the mist.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, but this was this was just because I hit
the brakes. Nothing. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Good.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, they were used to be there was a France
that apparently had some pile up like the one you just described.
Same thing. We used to have a lot of Tooley fog in the Bay
Area. Oh, they
Adam Curry: had that. During the vacation time. Whenever one goes
down south through France, they had several times that's
happened. They have one of those 100 Kilometer pileups Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, if you can't see five feet ahead of
you. I don't know why you even driving your car. Well, why are
you driving at full speed?
Adam Curry: Elon Musk is going to solve all of this for us.
John C. Dvorak: Don't do it that way. When you get in these
wrecks everyone gets electrocuted. To worry about
taking the bodies out.
Adam Curry: All right, let me see if I got anything else
before we do our second break here. Thanks. Some people as the
affiliate should note we are running long. Yeah, maybe this
one. This is how it always starts.
Unknown: 60 year old woman who died on Wednesday in the
district of Vienna had a link with a woman who also died after
contracting Ebola and was married to a survival the
previous major outbreak. The statement said Congress Health
Ministry has deployed a team to the area and is tracing more
than 100 contacts of the two women in the health zones of BNI
and catwa. Ebola swept through Eastern Congo from 2018 to 2020.
In an outbreak that killed more than 2200 people before it was
declared over last June. It is not usually for sporadic cases
to occur following a major outbreak. According to the World
Health Organization, Congress. Equatorial forests have been a
breeding ground for the Ebola virus, which causes severe
vomiting and diarrhea and is spread through contact with
bodily fluids. The country has experienced 11 outbreaks since
the virus was first discovered near the Ebola River in the year
1976.
Adam Curry: So another outbreak in eastern Congo, not all that
Western Africa part that Obama was looking at, which is the
real Ebola we all know what Eastern Congo is. This isn't a
town of Butembo it's the mining town. It's the warlords has very
little to do with Ebola they just scare people away by saying
there's Ebola yeah and then we send them to and then we send
troops in exactly now smart are we going to fight this time?
John C. Dvorak: Some other Boneheads?
Adam Curry: You know it Yeah. Well, that was easy to
deconstruct. Take anything Don't take me into hard, quick noodle
gun look. KPMG UK boss has had to quit. After a telling staff
that the concept of unbiased unconscious bias is quote,
complete crap. Oops. That one I stand. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: They skates gotta be shot.
Adam Curry: He left and said I love the firm. I'm truly sorry
that my words if cause hurt, hurt, hurt brother, amongst my
colleagues and for the impact of the events of this week have had
on them.
John C. Dvorak: Well, we're gonna stay in this vein might as
well as talking about the Japanese guy.
Adam Curry: I don't know about the Japanese guy.
John C. Dvorak: He was the one who said he's in the eye is part
of the Japanese Olympic Committee. Oh, I see. Yeah. Oh,
we can have these women in these meetings. So they choose yak,
yak, yak, yak yak. It can't shut them up. All they do is talk.
Unknown: Is that what he said?
John C. Dvorak: More or less.
Unknown: The president of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing
Committee has resigned. Yoshiro Mori had complained that women
quote, talk too much in meetings, more initially refused
to go by he gave way today under pressure from the public and
from Olympic sponsors.
My inappropriate remarks caused turmoil. I'm sincerely sorry for
causing troubles to many including organizing committees,
and everyone involved in this as it has already been reported. I
will resign today. I have no intention to demean women
in the face with
Adam Curry: the Maduro regime I got the my pasta Glock locked
and loaded little guns. I got one more, you know, to be fair
to the guy. Women do talk a lot, let's be honest.
John C. Dvorak: But you know, this guy, Steve Becker comic who
did the Confessions of a caveman, it was syndicated all
over the country. All these different people doing Yes, yes.
Yes. Very famous. He in in his act. He talks about the number
of words per day that a woman puts out compared to a man. And
it's really substantially more it's like a third more 50% more.
And he said most big most guys when they run out of material
because they just can't talk that much. I think we're the two
exceptions. But we only do it twice a week. And my wife has
said to me or once a while she calls after the show says you're
tucked out right? Yeah, pretty much. Well, that's what guys do.
Well, it's
Adam Curry: worse with me. It's like, oh, yeah, I'm tucked out
but then don't challenge me on anything. Because I'm still in
Show mode. Oh, yeah. I have to say sorry. We had to. We had our
teacher over last Thursday. The Austin teacher and bow she was
just going on about something. You know, it's like, Trump is
scared when you were in Show mode. I was in Show mode. And I
and I, and I think Tina gave me that distinct you want me? And I
said I'm sorry. I'm still show mode. Yeah, you gotta be careful
with that.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, well, this one now this is the baffling
cancel thing. Because why didn't this guy get fired? Why didn't
he quit? I mean, if the Japanese guys just made the comment about
women talking to Oh, he didn't get fired. He just he resigned.
You know IOC guy did but this guy didn't get fired or quit.
This is the Press Corp guy this duck low A Biden? Oh, yes. Back
Unknown: in this country. A White House press aide was
suspended for a week without pay for threatening a journalist.
Deputy Press Secretary TJ duck low reportedly confronted a
female staffer at politico in sexist profane terms. She had
written about duck close relationship with a reporter who
covered the Biden campaign and transition.
Adam Curry: He did he issued a statement would you like to hear
it?
John C. Dvorak: I'd love to
Adam Curry: how should I read it as a weenie boy or just?
John C. Dvorak: This is a good question. i We are now ready to
direction part of this. Okay. I would I think you should read it
as an arrogant. Oh,
Adam Curry: okay. Arrogant. Hello? Yeah. Arrogant what?
John C. Dvorak: East Coast liberal who can do no wrong
probably. Ivy League. Wow, quite tight on a little bit through
your teeth. Can you do that
Adam Curry: no words can express my regret, my embarrassment and
my disgust or my behavior. I used language that no woman
should ever have to hear from anyone, especially in a
situation where she was just trying to do her job. It was
language that was abhorrent, disrespectful and unacceptable.
I am devastated to have embarrassed and disappointed my
White House colleagues and President Biden. And after
discussing with White House Communications leadership
tonight, I resigned my position and will not be returning from
administrative leave. I know this was terrible. I know. I
can't take it back. But I also know I can learn from and do
better. This incident is not representative of who I am as a
person, and I will be determined to earn back the trust of
everyone. I have let down because of my intolerable
actions as I now launched my podcast. Didn't say no, it
didn't say podcast. So he did he had to grovel. What the heck did
he scrambled
John C. Dvorak: that was pretty good. I think your voice is
probably better if it turned into kind of a wishy washy kind
of a
Adam Curry: deal. My teeth were clacking I was trying to talk
through the teeth and they were clocking
John C. Dvorak: we were talking to your teeth not that easy.
Okay, no words can
Adam Curry: express my regret. become so
John C. Dvorak: we I think playing it more as a weenie
wormy guy. Lame ball and can I be better age? Maybe not him,
but it made
Adam Curry: me like slow Well, it's nowhere. Right? Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Well, I'll work on I'll work on my Swalwell.
John C. Dvorak: Swallow as well.
Adam Curry: But he did he grovelled. And he will be back.
He said it right there. I determined to earn back the
trust of everyone. He
John C. Dvorak: decided to take it to the week's free pay as
administrator.
Adam Curry: How does he break trust? Just because he yelled at
somebody. But trust
John C. Dvorak: because he's not acting like a good role boy,
appropriately. He's not right. He's not acting appropriately.
And they trust him that he they trust that he would have
normally acted appropriately. And not be hurtful. He was
hurtful.
Adam Curry: And who was the Who Was he having the thing that
kills me? There's so many people who are married to people in
news agencies who were who it's outrageous in in government and
certainly the Obama White House was filled
John C. Dvorak: with people, everybody.
Adam Curry: And so and, and to be honest, what's this guy's
name? TJ she wasn't she wasn't worth it, bro.

feels the same it's like the only thing we did two things we
didn't do which we can still rectify one
John C. Dvorak: well you ISO and as is the Xin
Adam Curry: yes that was the other one but the ISO and to
show ISO oh I don't have any.
John C. Dvorak: You got nothing. Now guys, if
Adam Curry: you see what I have,
Unknown: he beat the bejesus out of somebody got that one.
Adam Curry: I have I google disk for you. Got that beautiful.
That's the one right? But you would like that. Yes. Xena. I
think we should we can start it but we should save this for a
while. I'm okay
John C. Dvorak: I want to read did I read the PS? This did come
from Lisa Stelter. Okay game of the universe or whatever
fragmenting, you know, jumping the straddle or she's a straddle
or strangle she's just trying to also thank you for the analysis
about Zen debunking almost all the homeschoolers I know use the
Zen books to teach your kids history. They rattle
radicalizing their kids by this subtle propaganda. Yes, this
concerns me because I'd like to express expose my kids to a wide
variety of views. And it seems extremely biased from what I can
tell. My acquaintances viewed the Zin books as a revelation
and an antidote to traditional school history class. Oh, no.
An antidote.
Adam Curry: This is not good.
John C. Dvorak: Now these people get suckered by, by this is.
Yeah, I know. It's just annoying as hell that people can't get a
clue. Yes. And I was so we'll talk about this more in the next
show. Even though you teased it.
Adam Curry: I may add to your T's how about this kind of add
to your teeth? It's not my teeth. Your teeth. You just you
just read a tease. That was a tease now. Okay. Okay. I'm going
to I'm going to tease it with a note that irked me. This is from
McGraw Hill. And it's no it's about Xin. And this is how it
starts off. You know, one of the things I don't like of the show
is how you reduce everyone on the left to the moniker of
communist just like the left does to the right by calling
Everyone a fascist
John C. Dvorak: Xena is a communist. He was a member of
the Communist Party.
Adam Curry: If you I'm gonna continue if you read the
Wikipedia page, there's your red flag on Howard Zinn it clearly
says that he is not a communist
John C. Dvorak: Communist Party in this country anymore that he
could be a member of
Adam Curry: Xin came to believe that the point of view expressed
in traditional history books was often limited. When biographer
Martin Duberman noted or noted when he was asked directly if he
was a Marxist Zinn replied, Yes, I'm something of a Marxist. He
especially was influenced by the liberating vision of the young
Marx in overcoming alienation and dislike what he perceived to
be Marx's later dogmatism so that you kind of making my
point. The guy starts off by saying, you reduce everyone on
the left to the moniker of communist you need to wash out
your ears, son. Do I call Tulsi Gabbard a communist Chuck
Schumer a communist? Eric Swalwell? Do I call them a
communist? Do you know we've never done that? Nancy Pelosi I
may not like her but don't call her a communist. She's not a
communist. So how does a guy like this? Come up with saying
not only are you bigoted, but you're not but that he's not a
communist? When he was a member of the Communist Party,
John C. Dvorak: he's a communist. Yeah. And it's
obvious he's a communist. And if you told me you went up to us,
are you a communist? Yeah, I'm a communist. So what? And that's
the right answer. Yeah, and then maybe spin, but we don't call
everybody a communist except, you know who we call communists.
Adam Curry: Communists. Yeah, exactly.
John C. Dvorak: So you're a communist Shere Khan would be
proud of it. Yeah. And if Miguel is a communist, which apparently
he is, because he's going on and on like this, and he's hating us
hating on us, you're pointing out the obvious we don't think
it's shameful to be a communist. We just think you should know
it.
Adam Curry: Yeah. So when people aren't communists we don't call
them that.
John C. Dvorak: No, we've never You're right. We never call
names for fortunately.
Adam Curry: Unfortunately, this is exactly what happens people
are hearing different things it's
John C. Dvorak: they're hearing what they want to hear. These
two guys are douchebags they call everyone a communist. They
just what he's gonna hear we're calling everyone a communist.
Adam Curry: You know what I'm calling you my love of
John C. Dvorak: a cab call me a cab.
Adam Curry: There you go. Yeah, hey, we by coincidence, which it
truly is one sir Brandon Scott has a podcast which was just
added to the rotation that no agenda stream.com And he donated
