Devora Sunday April
Adam Curry: 2 2023. This is your
award winning chemo nation media
assassination episode 1543.
Unknown: This is no agenda.
second guessing sealed
indictments
Adam Curry: and broadcasting
live from the heart of the Texas
Hill Country here. Number six in
the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern
Silicon Valley where I'm trying
to find that food I can eat
before I go to bed to get rid of
that bellies fat while I sleep.
I'm Jhansi Dvorak.
Unknown: Buzzkill.
Adam Curry: No, man, you need
ozempic ozempic will do it for
you. Oh, we
John C Dvorak: get those Olympic
face.
Adam Curry: I know people who
are on the ozempic right now and
they love it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, until their
face collapses.
Adam Curry: But the thing is, I
don't think you can stop with
the ozempic. And that's when it
all goes wrong. And that's one
of the oh, that could be Yeah,
you can stop and while you're
taking it side effects or
nausea, diarrhea. Tourette's?
Oh, no, I'm sorry. That's I made
that ozempic
John C Dvorak: face ozempic
face. Yes.
Adam Curry: So you are typically
that you used to be used to be
we talked we've talked about
this from time to time, the
April Fool's Day master. And
John C Dvorak: yes, I'm in the
same hall of fame for doing a
couple of
Adam Curry: Yes, you are. You
are and of course, ever since
the internet it you really can't
do April Fool's jokes. They just
don't work that the internet
broke the April Fool's joke.
John C Dvorak: I believe so.
Yeah. And so why and why is
that? Well, yes. Why is that
John? Because there's no time,
real time constraints with the
joke. The joke goes onto the
internet where it stays forever
and is often read sometime in
the middle of November.
Adam Curry: Right? If it's a
good one,
John C Dvorak: yeah. And then it
gets read as as something
serious in the middle of
November. There's no association
with April 1. And it becomes a
nightmare.
Adam Curry: Exactly. And so,
people still try him. You know,
they they still you know,
there's a lot of Bitcoin people
saying, Oh, I bought Aetherium.
Okay, ha, very funny.
John C Dvorak: Is that a joke?
You can buy a theory
Adam Curry: Exactly. And so
Erina who runs no agenda,
social. He did something very
interesting yesterday, which he
considered to be an April Fool's
joke, but it actually did more.
I'm sure you saw that he posted?
I can't handle the the kk k Nazi
Cardrooms anymore. I'm
transitioning. I'm becoming
crystal. I'm moving to
California. And tonight, I will
be shutting off no agenda
social. And he did he should
shut off. So first of all,
that's not really an April
Fool's joke. I mean, it doesn't
have the right elements,
correct?
John C Dvorak: Well, I didn't, I
didn't analyze his gag. It had a
lot of elements. It didn't. One
of the elements. It has to have
it. It has to have April Fool's.
A giveaway in there somewhere.
It's usually coded.
Adam Curry: Well, the whole that
was the problem. Like the whole
thing was a giveaway. I mean, it
was obvious that that was not
true. So he posted that a couple
hours before. And then he
actually did shut it down, which
John C Dvorak: I think that that
made it work. But you thought,
Oh, interesting.
Adam Curry: Here's what it did
for me. It made me realize how
addicted people are to this
thing, because they were DMing.
Tina, any way they can get a
hold of what's going on? Is this
a fool? April Fool's joke. I
really you can't see that.
That's an April Fool's joke. But
also, it made me realize that
even myself with godlike powers,
admin powers, I was powerless.
So he's not interesting.
John C Dvorak: By the way, I
should mention to people out
there if if you say, is this an
April Fool's joke, and you check
the calendar, and it's actually
April 1 99.9% of the time it's
April Fool's. Right. Right. So
you shouldn't have to ask.
Adam Curry: Exactly. But it was
it was also kind of like, you
know, social media is basically
broken. You know, even I could
get D platformed. What if you
woke up and was really was
really mad and went screw this
I'm shutting it down.
John C Dvorak: He could do it.
You do it on the third
Adam Curry: please do it. Okay,
you've made my point. I guess. I
and people are posting on
Twitter. What's going on, man?
What's going on? I hope it made
people realize how valuable that
resources and how they treated
sometimes like a trash heap.
Yeah. And also made me go Oh,
cool. I'm gonna go to noster
started Wanna start posting
stuff over there? It was just
interesting. I thought it had an
extra effect from a typical
April Fool's joke as the same
with, I don't know, if you saw
that email from the producer,
that apparently Devin Mulvaney
that's Dylan, Dylan Dylan, who
somehow got plucked out of the
world of trans and, and, and
wound up asking the President
questions in a, in a q&a session
was now a spokesperson for Bud
Light. And, and this person has
really convinced that it's true.
I'm like, I, you know, and
John C Dvorak: I saw that thread
out as one of those things,
because I just commented early
on in the thread and I can't get
kept. He kept I was stuck on
this. This is an example of one
of those threads. I had no
interest in any of this Dylan
Mulvaney anything, no. And I can
it takes me a while to remember
who this person is. It's just an
annoying person. It just they've
just not. I wished it right on
the
Adam Curry: but but to me, it's
a I hear you. But it's a typical
example of an April Fool's joke
has gone too far. Because people
not as true. I'm not. I mean, I
can't. Anheuser Busch was my
client for many years. I built
bud.com Bud light.com. I have a
hard time believing that they
would they would go this woke
and decide that yeah, this is a
good idea. I agree.
John C Dvorak: No. Well, I I
agree with you. But the
Budweiser you worked for was
Anheuser Busch.
Adam Curry: I know they I know
they were purchased. But it's
still the Anheuser Busch people
who are still in charge of the
marketing just because the
company was bought by the
Belgian company.
John C Dvorak: InBev.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I anyway. But
this kind of folds into just one
thing that I was astounded by
astounded by a statement from
the President on was this Friday
or Saturday? I think it was
Friday, March 31. Yeah. So it
was Friday. Statement state.
This is on whitehouse.gov
statement from President Joe
Biden on transgender day of
visibility. Now, we didn't know
this was going on.
John C Dvorak: We did I posted
it in the newsletter.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was on
Saturday. But this was this. The
Transgender Day of visibility
was Friday. I thought it was
Saturday. The 31st is, is
Friday.
John C Dvorak: I know that but I
thought that the signage that
I've posted in the newsletter
showed that when they changed
the name to day visibility
became the day of vengeance and
it was Mark.
Adam Curry: April 1, the day of
vengeance is something
different.
John C Dvorak: Well, the day of
vengeance was supposed to be
Saturday was a well, that was
Saturday, but it was supposed to
be the day of visibility, that
they changed the day of
vengeance. Okay, well, did you
read and they were gonna change
it back after the shooting? And
then they said, No, we'd be
weenies if we did that. And so
they they too, can make gigs
here. I won't do it.
Adam Curry: Did you read the
statement from the President? I
did not it we should read it.
Now. I'm just gonna read the big
the top and the bottom. made a
joke on transgender day of like,
Hey,
John C Dvorak: this is an
example of a joke off the cuff
that you had to say you had to
actually dislike an April
Fool's. You have to tell the you
had to say it was a joke. That
makes it funny. I just
Adam Curry: came up with it too.
On Transgender Day of
visibility, visibility, we
celebrate the strength, joy and
absolute courage of some of the
bravest people I know.
transgender Americans deserve to
be safe and supported in every
community. But today, across our
country, Magga extremists are
advancing hundreds of hateful
and extreme state laws that
target transgender kids and
their families. No one should
have to be brave just to be
themselves. I mean, this. This
is
John C Dvorak: really your this
is legit.
Adam Curry: I'm reading it off.
whitehouse.gov. So yeah, I would
say that's legit. And then he
goes through this whole thing.
So seriously, I mean, to bring
in Magga extremists and to say,
Okay, here's this. Yeah. And
what is mag extremists really?
What does that mean?
John C Dvorak: Well, Red Hat.
Yeah, exactly. And it clashes
with a an orange shirt.
Adam Curry: And at the bottom,
this, this was the most
interesting thing. To me
personally, I want every member
of the trans community to know
that we see you. You're each
made in the image of God and
deserve Love, dignity and
respect. You make America
stronger and we're with you. So
you can did not have a more
divisive inflammatory statement
by putting these two concepts
into your into your statement
that that's really bad. That's
that's not the Joe Biden who
said he was going to bring
people together. I don't think.
John C Dvorak: So you're
actually going on the assumption
that Biden wrote this or even
knew it was released?
Adam Curry: Well, okay.
Obviously, you know, that's an
obvious point. obvious point.
Now, at the same time on April
Fool's Day,
John C Dvorak: I smell Valerie
Jarrett, by the way.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yeah, you're
right. A fantastic website came
out. South woke.com. And this
was came out on and now this is
a whole new twist came out on
April Fool's Day, but it's very
serious and it has money behind
it. You've got to go to South
woke.com.
John C Dvorak: This is a tape
now.
Adam Curry: This is a take off
of the Southwest airlines
website. And it is deep,
professionally done. It has
videos it has very funny things
like news, new stories for our
new stories. Southwark hires
fabulous Sam Brinton as our new
baggage czar. Really, really
hilarious stuff. Southwold goes
drag for the children. I mean,
and then these guys and I think
the pilots aid pilots union or
pilots organizations behind it,
they had money. They were
putting up billboards with
Southwest promoting
southwest.com. It is well done.
It's very funny. And from what I
understand from some of the some
of our airmen
John C Dvorak: sounds woke at
airline this inclusive everyone
except you.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Message
and,
John C Dvorak: by the way, if
I'm not mistaken, I could be
wrong. But in one of the images
that they flashed across screen,
they have all these these weird
looking stewardesses and
stewards. And I think that bald
person, the bald tread the bald
nonbinary in the middle, I think
the head is the head of the sea.
Yes, I think that's his head.
Adam Curry: It is correct. It's
very funny. Apparently,
Southwest is losing an average
of one and a half pilots per
day. They're just leaving,
there's plenty of other places
to go. Plenty of other airlines
need pilots. The as is witnessed
by what happened. And Minnesota
nuts. I know a few of you might
not have heard about it. The 31
Day pilot month hit again, this
time was delta, their turn their
turn to melt down with 12% of
all flights nationwide canceled.
The course of as we know, March
is a peak month 31 days. And
that means that pilots run out
of hours, they don't have enough
pilots. Of course, the storm in
Minneapolis was the impetus. But
the end of month pilot shortage.
They don't have the slack to
recover. I mean, even Sun
country airlines, which is much
smaller, you know, as a low cost
airline, they only can cancel I
think 4% And that was mainly due
to weather of delta is the
airline that prides themselves
on being the gold standard for
operations integrity. So the
breakdown of our aviation system
continues. Continue continues.
But I thought I'd good. No, not
good at all. But I thought it
was really I hadn't really loved
that South woke.com
John C Dvorak: And we very good.
Yeah. Very professionally,
right?
Adam Curry: Yeah. A lot. A lot
of producers work at Southwest
or no south and they're also
disappointed with within with a
new manager. There's even an
email floating around that, you
know, really pissed off pilots
who are saying we're leaving,
we're just not and they are.
They're leaving the same screw
you. We're not we're not going
to we're not going to
participate in this bullcrap
anymore. And it may be well,
anyway. Did you get that email
about the post office? I got
several emails from our mail
carrying professionals, which is
a constitutional gig in the post
offices. It's in the
Constitution that didn't didn't
they have like some enormous
amount of funding that went into
the post office? The Postal
Service?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they do
that every so often they get a
bunch of money.
Adam Curry: This is from one of
our producers. The post office
today told the majority and this
is one producer in just one
particular area. The rural
carriers that they're updating
their salary basing their pay
off of certain criteria in their
scanners, you know when they
deliver something, they scan it.
And apparently these things
don't work half of the time, I
think I can probably agree with
that. I've seen it fail many
times when something's been
delivered. And so this one
producer says he is losing
$20,000 from the 70,000, he was
on track to make this year. Now
remember, these were the heroes
who were supposed to be royally
rewarded for continued to work
during during COVID. That's
20,000 out of 70. And of course,
this was sprung on and this,
this takes effect almost
immediately. And they'll have to
work six days a week now without
overtime.
John C Dvorak: What is it seems
to be a part of the overall scam
that's been going on?
Adam Curry: Well, what's the
scam? Who's Who's running? Who's
running the scam? What what's
going on with this?
John C Dvorak: Well, this
started of course, when they had
to pre fund something like 30
years, right? Which is what put
them in arrears, even though
it's a phony baloney deal, but
it put the put the post office
in, kind of in the red. And it
kept him that way, because it's
impossible to do that. Nobody
does that. And it's all been a
scheme. Supposedly, that was
begun by FedEx and and United
Parcel to get take over that
business. And it began years
ago,
Adam Curry: of course, of
course, of course. Oh, they're
just trying to sell it out.
That's your great reset, right
there.
John C Dvorak: Well, this has
been, at least, was gone on
before we began this show 15
years ago, and it began. I
Adam Curry: know, as Rob has
been planning this for 15 years.
It's a long
John C Dvorak: game, but because
of the nature of the being in
the Constitution, they know they
can't do anything about it.
Adam Curry: So they're just
gonna make everyone quit because
they can't live off.
John C Dvorak: They haven't been
able to get it shuttered. Yeah,
well, this is where code
Adam Curry: starts a good start.
And then one more just on this,
since we're on kind of that
topic,
John C Dvorak: that sounds like
a lawsuit waiting to happen. I
Adam Curry: sure hope so. I sure
hope so. That's nuts. I got to
talk to Diana she's our mail
carrier find out from her how
she got affected a bit you know,
when you have a mail carrier,
like who you know, and who you
give a Christmas gift to it
doesn't have to be money. We
give her money but also
Christmas card. You know, when
there's some piece of mail that
that needs to be signed for
yesterday, cuz we don't go to
our it's our mailboxes like down
the road. It's not at the road
itself. And I opened up and
there's a there's a rip piece of
registered mail. And in it a
little card. You of course you
have your green, the green card
that you have to sign a little
card from Diana saying, Hey,
would you mind just signing this
and just putting it back in the
box? And she even clipped her
pen to it?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's the
kind of service you get. She was
a waiter in a previous life.
Adam Curry: No, she's been a
mail carrier for like 23 years
or something. She's joke. Yeah.
Anyway. Yes, a joke. I'm glad
you explained it.
John C Dvorak: Make sure you
flip up a little red flag. Yes.
Adam Curry: So we know that NPR
due to the soft advertising
market and the fact that they
only get 2% of their money from
from government. The rest is
just adds color, whatever you
want. They had to let go of
about 100 employees of which
many were in the overstaffed
podcasting department. Because
they all bought into the podcast
industrial complex hype of all
your Spotify Bonanza is gonna be
great rad, let's Russ unionize.
And so they had a they had a
zoom Town Hall because people
were mad, mad. Now, a big group
of this 100 cannot be fired
because they actually organized
into a union and though it's in
a different union outside of the
after Union, and the the, the
management of NPR recognized it
before this all came down. So
now they actually can't get let
go those people, but they had
all kinds and so the staff,
they're all pissed off, they
calculate the nerve, the nerve
of letting all these people go,
we work so hard, and see if this
sounds familiar to you. Among
the record, I'm reading from
Bloomberg. Among the requests,
employees wanted to see how much
more specific want to see more
specific breakdowns around the
number or percentage of
employees of different races and
identities who were laid off
rather than those of the
remaining employees. They also
wanted to know more information
about their audiences, and what
the plans will be for hiring a
Chief Content Officer and more
clarity about how the layoffs
were carried out. So they're now
weaponizing dei Oh, are you
firing black people? And then my
favorite, you'll recognize this.
The already tense environment
boiled over during an exchange
between CEO Lansing and a laid
off black employee, that
employee voiced concern that
some podcasts hadn't received
marketing support, and wondered
how a show could gain audience
without it. Does this sound like
what I've always said that you
can't monetize the network? And
you can you can't have a network
of shows because people are
always complaining about I
didn't get any promotion. I
mean, yeah. And we, we didn't
get the right we didn't, we
didn't get enough advertising
buys. Sound familiar?
John C Dvorak: Well, this is
yeah, this is exactly what you
hear in publishing, especially
in book publishing. And I'm
always reminded of a friend of
mine, I haven't seen it for a
long time. But he did this. Neil
Rubin king. He did. He did a
book called I think it was
called guide to dos in a can.
Adam Curry: Dos in a Can I like
it,
John C Dvorak: and it was in a
can. You could have come up with
this idea. And so you had to get
a can opener. Open they can't
actually get the book out.
Adam Curry: This is some this is
some Silicon Valley loyal here.
Nowhere else. Definitely that
okay.
John C Dvorak: And so it didn't
sell well, for a lot of probably
a lot of street. I think
logistics reasons you had to
ship these cans all over the
place. And the bookstores didn't
know where to put the can right
idea, though. It's a funny idea.
And I remember one time I was
in, I think it was in Germany,
sometimes I was at a grocery
store. And we always go to these
grocery stores and they had
pickle in a can. And I always
thought it was cute. It's like a
different kinds of dill pickles.
One pickle in a Can a small,
very small can, you know is cute
gimmick. And I've never seen it
before a sense, but the book in
the can. So Neil did the book
didn't do well at all. I mean,
nobody wanted these books in a
can. And so all he did was
grouse. So I didn't get any
marketing support. Oh, yeah,
exactly.
Adam Curry: Well, here's the
kicker. So one of the podcasts
that that I was very successful
that rocketed to the top of the
charts. Everybody was invisibIe
Lea invisibIe Lea was they were
on the level of watch the shows
that come back show the true
crime drama that brought
podcasting back. How come I'm
spacing?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the
simplify was the name of it. No,
no
Unknown: shortfall.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, that's
not it. It was lunch, Bob. Yeah,
close. But that's not it. Cereal
cereal,
John C Dvorak: cereal cereal.
That's the one. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So it actually
outage did cereal a little bit.
How much do you think it cost on
an annual basis invisibility was
canceled? How much do you think
it costs on an annual basis to
produce invisibIe? Lea
John C Dvorak: more than we take
in correct $1 million
Adam Curry: to produce the show.
I don't care what you're doing.
There's that's not the model of
podcasting.
John C Dvorak: No, the model got
to be Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's cheap, kiss.
It's cheap. We of course, have
perfected the model by accepting
value for value, which is time,
talent and treasure. So if you
build a website, or if you turn
it off, you know,
John C Dvorak: that if we had 10
employees that we this model
would fail. Of course, those all
those podcasts have like John
Stewart's reproduce, we had
Adam Curry: one extra employee
this model would fail.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it would,
it would, yes. But 10 days,
we're talking those guys are
loaded to the gills. They got to
they got two or three people
that are doing this show they
got they got to get engineers
one or two engineers. They've
got five producers. They got a
Adam Curry: writer, line
producer, they got
John C Dvorak: to get a couple
of writers I'm gonna say they
Adam Curry: were probably more
like 25 people not even 10
John C Dvorak: No, surprise me
if it was 25 people and they got
a studio overhead studio Neumann
Mike Neumann Mike's
Adam Curry: soundproof on like,
you know, here, it's like you
hear the echo of my room. I
don't know. I can't afford a
soundproof
John C Dvorak: you really don't
have much echo in your room.
Adam Curry: No, but still. I use
noise gates for that very
reason. You know, I can hear the
traffic on those on the bridge
if I don't use a noise gate on
your on your mic.
John C Dvorak: I mean, we're not
I don't sound like this. Hey, I
don't know what.
Adam Curry: Exactly, exactly. So
Thank you all very much for
contributing to the show. It's
the only way we can make it
work. A tweet from Nancy Pelosi,
which was just too delicious to
be true. Trump, the grand jury
has acted upon the facts and the
law. She writes, no one is above
the law. And everyone has the
right to a trial to prove
innocence.
Unknown: When people are
innocent until well alleged to
be involved in some type of
criminal activity.
Adam Curry: Can you believe what
she wrote? Wow, okay, for a
while. And then
John C Dvorak: she's here. She
doesn't know you're innocent
until proven guilty.
Adam Curry: Twitter even put a
disclaimer on her tweet, which I
thought was pretty funny. I
haven't seen that in a while.
And the disclaimer says Miss
Pelosi mistakenly says that
Trump can prove his innocence at
trial law in the US assumes the
innocence of a defendant and the
prosecution must prove guilt for
a conviction with a link to
Cornell
John C Dvorak: Law School. This
is I think, play one more time
played the Brennan this letter
Adam Curry: former former
director of CIA, John Brennan,
Unknown: people are innocent
until alleged to be involved in
some type of criminal activity.
John C Dvorak: This is our
government. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And that's how
distorted they are. It's, it's,
it's crazy. It's, um, this was
this, of course happened on a
show day, right after we had
said that which we believe to be
true, of course, that the grand
jury was going on, was going on
vacation for a month.
John C Dvorak: So they said that
I guess they got some blowback
buy from somebody and they said,
You better come up with
something now and then go on
vacation. Yes. Somebody told
them to do this.
Adam Curry: So here's what's
happening everywhere. And I'm
going to play I'm sure I know.
You have clips I've and some of
them are hilarious at the
hilarity of this. If I were in
charge of this political
indictment, I'd keep it going as
long as I could. This I mean,
this is humorous. This is great.
Everyone's got something to say
people's heads are exploding.
And I love this. There's one
particular lie blatant lie that
keeps getting repeated. I saw
Bill Maher do it on Friday
night. This is France 24 with
the with their correspondent,
Doug, you know douchebag Doug,
listen to the lie that he
repeats that everyone is talking
about.
Unknown: More analysis, I'm
joined on set by our
international affairs
commentator, Douglas Herbert.
Hello, again, Donald Trump. His
reaction basically has been not
to hide from this. He's
essentially challenging
prosecutors to bring it on.
Yeah, look, you know, we just
heard that that last woman there
among those reactions from
voters, saying basically, you
know, she doesn't believe much
is going to come of this, you
know, Donald Trump time and
again, throughout his political
and even pre political career as
a real estate mogul has defied
legal norms and precedents. He
has evaded justice and any sort
of accountability or reckoning,
factually, he has not been
before any sort of court on any
sort of charges like this. And
he has generally behaved in a
way that suggests that the
regular rules that would apply
to other people don't apply to
him. And there's nothing to
suggest that in this case,
that's going to change his
weaponize this indictment, but
you are right. There are
multiple investigations
outstanding against him. This is
the first in what some believe,
including his former lawyer,
Michael Cohen, who spent time in
prison for helping Donald Trump
Allegedly, he has said that he
believes this is just the
beginning.
Adam Curry: This is what
everyone keeps saying, his
lawyer, his lawyer went to jail
for it. No. Michael Cohen, as
far as I can remember, went to
jail because he had some scam
going with taxi medallions. And
somehow Michael Cohen even
believes this himself or he's
squirrely with it at minimum and
he's he's everywhere here he is
CNN this morning, trying to help
Don Lemon with his ratings. They
can
Unknown: coordinate court dates,
but they don't coordinate
indictments I have to go when
they have to go where the
evidence leads. And there are
things like the statute of
limitations or what have you.
But technically, finally, Willis
in Georgia if she does indict,
could go first. They could
coordinate and allow her to go
to trial first, and this could
go second, this notion of oh,
this is a weaker case. Then the
January 6, I acknowledge that
January 6, was an insurrection,
like we haven't seen in what 150
years in this country, but
doesn't make this any less of a
crime. You know, I always call
this the Capone theory, the Al
Capone theory they couldn't get
a murder, extortion,
racketeering, bootlegging, etc.
They got one
Adam Curry: tax, just loving
soldiers, etc. They couldn't
Unknown: get them on murder,
extortion, racketeering,
bootlegging, etc. They got one
tax evasion. If that crime And
Don was enough for me to be
charged, signed, convicted and
sent to prison. Why am I any
different than Donald Trump?
Adam Curry: Am I Am I mistaken?
Did he get charged for that
crime? Did I miss it? I
misunderstood go
John C Dvorak: back and look, I
mean, this guy's a douche bag
from the get go. He's worse than
Avenue daddy who's also
influenced.
Adam Curry: Here's, here's a
little mini mini mini mini mini
cut of Trump.
Unknown: I am a victim of one of
the great political smear
campaigns in the history
of our country. The entire thing
has been a witch hunt. And there
is no collusion. They were
lawyers, they'd be disbarred for
what they're doing is a one
sided witch hunt. And I'm a
victim. I will tell you, I'm a
victim. Oh, they're after me for
so many things. Oh, those
prosecutors.
Adam Curry: I gotta tell you,
one of our trolls just said Oh,
Cohen still working for Trump.
He got it all wrong. That's an
interesting theory. I like that.
That's a very interesting
theory. Very, very, very, very
good. I like that.
John C Dvorak: So I have a
thought on this whole thing
distasteful. Well, of course,
what really got on my nerves and
I had three clips here was the
especially the New York late
night audiences sharing this as
the as though this is some
positive step into in the
direction of the American
Enterprise. That should be
hired.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, did you see
I don't know if you still have
an account on our little secret
mastodon. Oh, have you been
there recently?
John C Dvorak: I haven't been
there recently. I have a lot of
those. I'm I'm following a lot
of those same people on on the
agenda social I just tagged him
to follow.
Adam Curry: Now. Okay, well,
that's a good way to get our
server on more banned lists.
John C Dvorak: How's that gonna
work?
Adam Curry: Because then then no
agenda social stuff flows
through to that to through the
Federation?
John C Dvorak: Not the way I see
it. You don't, okay? Doesn't
matter. If I go if I go to that
little box and put somebody in I
want to follow. Craig Newmark,
for example. If they show up in
my timeline, yes. It will show
up in there as
Adam Curry: people that you
follow show up in their
federated timeline. It's okay,
doesn't matter. But that was the
whole point of giving you the
secret the secret A
John C Dvorak: No, no, that's
not I don't believe this has to
be true. Okay. So in other
words, why would people I fall
off show up in their timeouts
how
Adam Curry: the not in their
timeline in their federated
timeline. That's how that's how
Mastodon works.
John C Dvorak: Well, I don't see
anybody that they're following
your timeline unless they like
they're like they like their
posts.
Adam Curry: You don't look at
the federated timeline. It
doesn't matter. I'm just saying.
Doesn't matter. Okay.
John C Dvorak: So let's go to
late this is the three clips
called Late Night hate.
Adam Curry: Oh, this is the late
night talk shows all emanating
from New York. I see what you're
saying. No,
John C Dvorak: no, no once from
LA and that's the one that had
the mildest applause.
Adam Curry: Whose Okemos nailed
it Okay, let's listen to him
first.
Unknown: Scott would never come
we were skeptical. But let me
give you some insight on how our
jobs work here at this show.
Less than two hours ago, I'm up
in my office working on a
monologue. I'm typing about
opening day for baseball and a
joke about how and other people
at Cracker Jacks spent the whole
winter in the dark cheering I
can't a bumblebee tuna. We had a
thing about a new nasal spray.
They'll give you an erection in
five minutes. Or your next one
is free. And guess what? We had
to throw it all in the garbage.
It's all moot because the J and
Donald J Trump now stands for
jail.
John C Dvorak: That was the
Adam Curry: short one. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah. Okay.
John C Dvorak: So let's go to
Fallon who really is pretty soft
pedaling. Each felon is not like
a massive Trump hitter. He kind
of balances that does a lot of
Biden jokes. And you could tell
that he was actually kind of
surprised by his New York
audience reaction to his little
mention of this sort of this
little factoid this park day
clip two.
Unknown: Thank you very much,
everybody. Welcome. Welcome.
Welcome to The Tonight Show.
Thank you very much. Well, guys,
it's finally happened. A new
york grand jury has voted to
indict former President Trump
for his role in a hush money
payments made to stormy Daniels.
John C Dvorak: Wow, happy.
They're very happy. But nothing
compares to this and I left the
entire applause in this one. And
by the way, and then he could
this is called bear and then he
after this law, by the way, this
is not just applause on the
Colbert show. This is a standing
ovation for the indictment of
Donald Trump, by members of the
American public thinking this is
the greatest thing that's ever
happened to this country.
Standing ovation. It goes on and
on and on. I play the day and
then Colbert does more material
which brings in louder and
louder applause I left the rest
of it out because it got
tedious. But here we go.
Unknown: So I'm your host,
Stephen Colbert. Ladies and
gentlemen, today I am feeling a
little extra American. One
reason today is baseball's
opening day here in New York. It
wasn't here in New York was 40
degrees, but I still ate ice
cream out of a baseball helmet.
Why? Just little something we're
celebrating today because
literally, three minutes before
I walked out on the stage here,
the New York Times reported a
New York Grand Jury voted to
indict former president.
Adam Curry: I always I'm glad
when I see Americans happy
though. There's nothing I'm
happy when America very happy.
John C Dvorak: I found this
disgusting moment in American
history. And and they're New
Yorkers in particular. This is
hateful people. Oh, yeah. And
they're no he saw him up there.
And they showed the they would
throw the camera into this
audience, it's doing a standing
ovation for this. And there's
high fiving each other and
patting each other in there. And
all these new yorkers it was I
just thought it was kind of
sick. You know,
Adam Curry: I'm going to
disagree a little bit there. I
think these are human resources,
who are who feel very, they feel
very bad about where they're at
where the world is at, they feel
bad about themselves. They are,
they might be on most people on
some kind of drug they've, they
they're depressed. And it
doesn't, it doesn't really
matter. As long as it's
something that can all it was
part of the the mass formations
they can all get on board with
something. And it's it's almost
like the wave at the baseball
stadium. I don't even think they
understand. It's Trump has
became this, this this, this
thing to be together on for
them. And, and I'm sure there's
also there's a big applause sign
and they probably practice you
know, the, the, I'm sure the you
know, the crowd, the warm up guy
probably got them all jacked and
ready for it. So it's, I don't
know how organic it was pretty,
pretty organic. But I think
people these people just, you
know, look there at the show to
start with, which is a boring
show, but they're probably
excited about being on it while
I'm in a show. I'm gonna be on
camera. So, you know, do they
really know what they're doing?
No, I think this simple.
John C Dvorak: Okay, okay, you
can stop.
Adam Curry: MSNBC, though, was
really off the chain. It was
like Stop the presses. We are
Trump indictment Central. And
actually got a little bit of
analysis from Rachel Maddow, who
still does a show apparently
once a week.
Unknown: It is true that we have
never indicted a former US
president before but we did
indict a former US Vice
President, who had only been out
of office for about two minutes,
literally when he was indicted
in federal court in 1973. And
that case that Spiro Agnew case
did have some remarkable
similarities to the reported
charges against Mr. Trump today.
Adam Curry: For notice Mr.
Trump, I always love it when
they do that Mr.
Unknown: Trump and charges
against Mr. Trump today.
John C Dvorak: I would like to
know before you continue, I'd
like to know what the what the
similarities are. Spiro Agnew
was indicted for taking a
literally money in a suitcase
bribe his office
Adam Curry: it's the same thing,
man. It's exactly the same
thing. It's the same thing.
Unknown: The similarities are
some remarkable similarities to
the reported charges against Mr.
Trump today, for example, and
vice president Spiro Agnes case
they charged him with taking
illicit payments while he was in
the White House, right. In
Trump's case, it's believed that
the charges against him include
him making illicit payments
while he was in the White House.
Adam Curry: That's very similar,
not so much the same. Everyone's
so creative.
John C Dvorak: And my
understanding was that his
illicit payments came from
before he was in the White
House. Yes. And came from his
attorney. Not from him. It was
before he would deed we didn't
want it to get into the
campaign. That's why it was
done. It was before he was in
the White House fake news. So
she goes didn't even have that
part accurate. Yes, factcheck
Unknown: false. And while Trump
and Agnew were both enormously
polarizing and aggressive, very
hard, right politicians,
Adam Curry: I don't know. I'm
too young for Spiro Agnew. Is
that true? Yes.
John C Dvorak: I knew Agnew was
yeah, he was. He was as he was
Martin Malik. He was funny. It
was funny. So I was trying to
say some crazy stuff. Okay,
well, good. And this was the era
when I was a Democrat. So each
of which were you.
Adam Curry: Were you happy?
Would you hooting and hollering
when he got indicted? We
Unknown: get the bastard. Yeah.
Each of which each of them did
some enormously controversial,
maybe even arguably illegal
things while in office.
Ultimately, what they were both
charged with, were things that
were about being venal and petty
and their financial charges but
in a very small change sort of
way
Adam Curry: dice roll. I think
taking bribes in the in the
White House is not quite a small
thing.
John C Dvorak: No, it wasn't at
all. And it was there's some
evidence that Nixon did
something similar. A suitcase
with a million dollars and it
was the way it was told but but
this Agnew thing was just a
straight up bribe right in his
office and does nothing compared
to being extorted.
Adam Curry: Now, let's go to
Stephanie rule. You know, she's
the former Wall Street girl that
all the boys in the trading desk
loathed.
Unknown: After Donald Trump's
historic indictment, a well
known disinformation tracking
group says there are no credible
threats of violence or plans for
large demonstrations as of now,
but some on the far right,
including Marjorie Taylor Greene
are encouraging protests. Oh,
NBC News National Security
Analyst Frank bluesy is with us.
He's also the former Assistant
Director for the FBI. Frank, you
track this stuff. What do you
think we're,
what concerns me the most is
people riling up lone offenders
who lone offenders only have to
get it right. Once the FBI needs
to get it right. Every single
day lone offenders
Adam Curry: is just a variation
of the lone wolf.
John C Dvorak: It is I think it
is the lone wolf. I don't like
using that term anymore.
Unknown: Those lone offenders
are often wound up and worked
into a frenzy online. And that
starts with conspiracy
theorists.
Adam Curry: Unlike, unlike the
day of the Trans Day of
vengeance, yeah.
Unknown: Okay. And that starts
with conspiracy theorists
pushing lies, they get bigger
and bigger. Hey,
Adam Curry: who are you calling
conspiracy theorists?
Unknown: Are you watching for
that now? Because there's a lot
of people using the internet to
come up a
John C Dvorak: woman a
professional broadcaster? She
sucks.
Adam Curry: No, she used to be a
Wall Street trader is I heard
from the former New York banker
then, you know, all the guys at
the trading desk. They liked
her. I don't know what that
meant. But he said that
Unknown: means are you watching
for that now? Because there's a
lot of people using the internet
to come up with all sorts of
explanations that make no sense.
John C Dvorak: It means what it
means the same way she got this
job,
Unknown: or what's going on for
an indictment that again, is
sealed.
Yeah. Chief among the the
disinformation, the conspiracy
theories is of course, that's a
couple things. One, the federal
government the DOJ somehow has
ordered the Manhattan DA to do
this. That simply is ignorance
of how the system works. But no
one lets facts get in the way of
a perfectly good conspiracy
theory. The other thing that's
that's troubling when
Adam Curry: it what was the
conspiracy theory, because I
usually come up with him. So I
didn't grow government,
Unknown: the DOJ somehow has
ordered the Manhattan DA to do
this. That simply is ignorance
of how the system works. But no
one lets facts get in the way of
a perfectly good conspiracy
theory. The other thing that's
troubling is that attack on
George Soros that he's behind
everything that's wrong with
here we go with Trump world and
that somehow he he donated money
specifically to Alvin Bragg, and
he's making this happen when the
facts are. What we know is that
George Soros has never directly
donated money to Alvin Bragg,
but rather to a group called The
Color of Change, which ended up
giving some money to Alvin
Bragg, but he's never even met
or communicated with Elvin
Bragg. So again, I think keep
putting the facts out there,
counter the disinformation.
Adam Curry: Now this was kind of
just the setup because I knew
this was going to happen, and I
wish I would have mentioned it
because we thought they were
going on vacation. Of course,
when you talk about sorrows,
then you know what, what is
always what always comes back is
no, that's anti semitic. If
you're talking about why
John C Dvorak: I've got this
covered in my PBS clips on the
top right, then I'll pull this
stunt.
Adam Curry: I'll do these two
and then you go to PBS. How's
that sound? Like it Okay,
morning, Joe. They really
ratchet it up.
Unknown: You can't help himself
Ron DeSantis embarrassed
himself.
Adam Curry: Oh, wait, let me let
me read A tweet from Ron
DeSantis DeSantis tweeted, the
weaponization of the legal
system to advance a political
agenda turns the rule of law on
its head. It is unAmerican. The
Soros backed Manhattan District
backed Manhattan district
attorney has consistently bent
the law to downgrade felonies
and to excuse criminal conduct
yet. Now he is stretching the
law to target a political
opponent. And then he go That's
so embarrassing. No, that's anti
semitic embarrassed
John C Dvorak: themselves.
That's Jew
Adam Curry: hate.
John C Dvorak: You know what?
Wait wait days, he left out the
part that he was naked while
doing that tweet that
Unknown: he can't help himself,
Ron DeSantis embarrassed himself
by saying he was gonna fight
extradition charges like he has
any say yummy. Again, one more
Republican that really just
doesn't give a damn about the
Constitution of the United
States. And of course, you gotta
Yeah, you gotta just
Adam Curry: hold on before we
move on. So what DeSantis said
is Florida will not assist in an
extradition request, given the
questionable circumstances at
issue with this Soros back
Manhattan prosecutor and his
political agenda. So what is the
constitutional law about states
cooperating with each other when
it comes to an extradition
request?
John C Dvorak: I think that's
extra cause I don't think that's
in the constitution. So you can
state rights, you can do what
you want. You don't have to
extradite anybody. Thank you.
Unknown: What's this line? Look
at the Soros back now. It's just
Jews. They're attacking Jewish
international bankers. It's what
anti
Adam Curry: whites they're
attacking Jewish international
globalist bankers
Unknown: there. Yeah, well, it
gets better Jewish international
bankers,
Adam Curry: Jewish international
bankers.
Unknown: It's what anti Semites
have been doing for hundreds of
years attacking Jewish
international bankers. That's
what they do. They try to blame
everything on Jewish
international bankers think
Adam Curry: he's saying enough.
Is he repeating Jewish
international bankers enough?
And I don't think last time I
checked, Soros is a banker. He's
a hedge fund guy at best
Unknown: Jewish international
bankers. That's what they do.
They try to blame everything on
Jewish international bankers.
It's Germany. 1933. But why does
Ron DeSantis further embarrass
himself by saying I'm gonna
ignore the Constitution? And I'm
not going to extradite Trump to
New York.
Adam Curry: So was it Jewish
international bankers who the
Nazis went after in 1933
John C Dvorak: that that I know
of, there's another thing
they're all circling the WAG all
these guys now I find this
distressing. Well, wait,
Adam Curry: wait for joy read
this. They're
John C Dvorak: all they're all
circling the wagons around
Soros, who is a creep, and he
was a Nazi. And he Vinnie sent
his own people to the gas
chamber and did so with glee and
thought it was the best time of
his life. We've got clips of
this.
Adam Curry: I love it when you
talk about this. And a train
actually honks its horn in the
background. That is the best.
Yes, we have this multitude of
clips. And that was one of the
happiest times of his life.
That's exactly exactly what he
said. But we forgot one little
extra thing about this. It's not
just the Jewish international
bankers. Alvin Bragg is black.
Unknown: You know, Donald Trump
is now bragging, but he's raised
something like $4 million. He's
trying to he's sort of out there
with a lot of bravado, as if
he's not afraid at all. But we
now know that this is going to
be a real booking. He's gonna
get his fingerprints taken. He's
gonna go through what you had to
go through.
Not exactly, not exactly the
same. Not exactly. Cohen again.
And well, it's gonna be very
different. I mean, He is the
former president of the United
States. And there's a certain
difference, you know, I was
handcuffed. Don't forget, I went
through that processing twice.
Second time with the
unconstitutional remain.
Adam Curry: I've said this is
not the one I want to play from.
This is the one I want to play
from joy read.
Unknown: My editorial comment is
it is a statement without
dignity. The governor of Florida
does not know the facts. So he
cannot talk about questionable
facts. In this case. He doesn't
know them. Only the grand jury
knows and this is a sealed
indictment. So he's making a
statement about something he
doesn't know the
Adam Curry: answer to.
Apparently, everyone else at
MSNBC knows what's going to
happen to
Unknown: him throwing out as you
said, Andrew, dog whistles, you
know, historically. I mean, this
idea among the right, that
African Americans that black
folks who were in positions are
controlled by some Jewish
overseer who's pulling their
strings.
Adam Curry: I love this. She
took it to the Mac so not only
is it is it, visit anti
symmetric against Jewish
international bankers, but you
know, the bankers they control
the blacks come and read take it
home.
Unknown: That's what that
statement reads like. And
perhaps this governor should
maybe read a history book to
speak because he might not
understand what he is
channeling. But he is channeling
an era in American history that
is one of the most ugly that
he's probably not allowed to be
taught in school. But that idea,
prosecutor and by the way, it's
not just this prosecutor
Android, I'll let you go on this
and let you have a final word on
it. It was a grand jury that
looked at facts that looked at
evidence. And this grand jury
took a vote which is part of our
system. And so for the governor
of one of our largest states,
and most important states to
throw out a miasma of words that
trigger the far right for his
political ambitions that really
sound like that old meme that
this black prosecutor must be
under the secret control of
this, you know, murky Jewish
millionaire. That could be 1950
and it is it is not dignified.
It's absolutely beneath the
dignity of a governor.
Adam Curry: I love it. It's 1933
it's 1950 I love my asthma. i
This is a word I was not
familiar with, which is a
vaporous exaltation formerly
believed to cause disease.
miasma as a great word,
John C Dvorak: not sure she used
it correctly.
Adam Curry: She didn't use it in
the right sentence, that's for
sure. But so there you go.
That's that's that's what they
got. Your anti semitic you're
racist. You're igniting horrible
things from the past 1933 1950
Whoa. Did that happen when they
when they arrested when they
indicted Spiro Agnew was
everyone all like you know and
spear Agnew was? What was he?
What is Agnew Greek? S did they
had Greek do they invoke any of
these these things any of that?
John C Dvorak: No. This is all
recent.
Adam Curry: So PBS did the same
apparently they had the same
John C Dvorak: swell and gonna
get it they did a more elaborate
report this long a bunch of
clips but I'm good. It brings in
our friend our new friend the
new friend. We haven't missed a
woman Laura Laura something
Lopez.
Adam Curry: Oh yes, she's the
new stars the
John C Dvorak: one who came out
and said that the joy George
Floyd riots in Portland and 2020
We're from the right wing there
right
Adam Curry: we have riots right
wing riots. Yes, of course.
John C Dvorak: He's got another
one. In this little pile of crap
that we're gonna listen to from
PBS which has gone off the deep
gun woke Yes. Let's start with
clip one
Unknown: New York City on alert
tonight for potential unrest
following the indictment of
Donald Trump the first former
president to be charged with a
crime. Mr. Trump previously
warned of potential death and
destruction if charges were
brought. The indictment
reportedly includes more than 30
counts stemming from hush money
payments allegedly paid to
stormy Daniels during the 2001
campaign. While the specific
charges Mr. Trump faces
Adam Curry: I can just see that
insert shot of her going Hi
everyone. Well done yield.
Unknown: political backlash was
fast and fierce. Mr. Trump's
slamming Manhattan district
attorney Alvin Bragg as a
disgrace and dismissing the case
as another witch hunt who's
ready to fight his attorney says
the former president was shocked
by news of the indictment
despite Mr. Trump saying on
social media earlier this month,
he expected to be arrested in
connection with the
investigation.
I've never been more angry about
a charge because today, the rule
of law in the United States of
America died.
Former President Trump's
supporters quickly flocked to
his Florida home if we don't
stand up for what's right, then
we're no better than Venezuela.
And many of his potential 2024
rivals rushed to his defense the
American people will see this
for what it is former Vice
President Mike Pence, who has
been critical of Mr. Trump's
role in the January 6
insurrection, said these charges
go too far.
The unprecedented indictment of
a former president of the United
States for a campaign finance
issue is an outrage. And I think
it's it's clear to the
overwhelming majority of the
American people that this is
nothing short of a of a
political prosecution.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
called the indictment on
American and former Arkansas
Governor ASA Hutchinson, who
previously said Mr. Trump's had
dropped out of the 2024 race if
he was indicted, called the news
a dark day for America, adding
Well Mr. Trump is presumed
innocent. The grand jury found
credible facts to support the
charges. For his part Donald
Trump spent last night on the
phone shoring up support among
Republican allies in Congress.
Adam Curry: I just love how they
all know exactly what the
indictment is. But no one knows
and we don't really know. I
mean, they're not even saying
people close to the grand jury
Are you familiar with the grand
jury's thinking? None of that.
And did they mention in this
report as you go through your,
your, your presentation here
that the Jacob Chancellor the so
called Q anon Shaman was
released from prison 14 months
early.
John C Dvorak: That was
mentioned but not in this report
now. Okay,
Adam Curry: which is kind of
interesting.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, they
got I think Tucker had done, I
think is Tucker's report. They
got him out.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Well, they
obviously knew that they
couldn't keep him they couldn't
they couldn't do anything with
them. Anyway, go ahead. All
right.
John C Dvorak: Onward. This is
Unknown: legal voodoo. You got a
misdemeanor that's been made a
felony Lindy Hop. Nobody in the
history of New York City has
ever been prosecuted under this
theory except for Donald J.
Trump. House Speaker
Kevin McCarthy accused the
Manhattan DA of weaponizing our
sacred system of justice and
said House Republicans would
investigate Alvin Bragg's
actions. As for reaction from
the White House, I'm no common.
President Biden choosing not to
weigh in, as he spoke to
reporters don't know what's
going on. The current president
opting to stay out of an active
criminal matter while focusing
on his own agenda.
I decided that really, my
loyalty can no longer be to a
man who doesn't deserve it.
But the key witness Michael
Cohen, who spent hours
testifying to the grand jury in
recent weeks, and previously
pleaded guilty to federal
charges connected to the hush
money payments, said Mr. Trump
is finally being held
accountable.
He's seething right now he is
beyond angry. He doesn't
understand accountability. And
right now, Alvin breg, has
finally put that into his lap.
Donald Trump is expected to be
in court for the first time
Tuesday afternoon. When Donald
Trump is arraigned on the 15th
floor of the courthouse behind
me he'll have to enter a plea on
the charges. It's not clear
whether he'll be handcuffed
during that appearance, but we
know he will be photographed,
fingerprinted and processed for
a felony arrest. his legal team
is expected to vigorously fight
these charges. But a timeline
for a potential trial right now
remains unclear. Meantime, we
have not seen any demonstrators
or protesters today. But given
concerns about the potential for
violence on the scale of what
transpired during the January 6.
insurrection. The NYPD says it's
working with its law enforcement
partners at every level of
government to prepare
accordingly.
John C Dvorak: Which they didn't
do it January 6, even though
they were given a heads up.
Adam Curry: Just question it had
besides the Hi everybody. Did
they have stormy Daniels on any
in any of these?
John C Dvorak: I have not seen
stormy Daniels and also in all,
especially the normal media that
M five m left wing media. I
would say that there's not one
mention or even a showing of his
brags the the DA is when he ran
for office going on and on it
before he while he was running
there. He's going to get
trumped. That's his promise.
times we think that would have
something to do with the
analysis
Adam Curry: times radio. I've 19
seconds of stormy Daniels.
That's the times in the UK. They
had her on and I think I didn't
want to play this 19 seconds.
When you hear it, you'll
understand why and she may not
be the best witness.
Unknown: I was about to ask how
you feel about potentially
taking the stand and potentially
having to face Trump in court.
You know, I've seen him Nagin
he's a lot as a way you can be
scarier with this close on and
after what Abinadi put me
through last January the coke
you know I'm not scared
Adam Curry: Thank you. Yeah,
she's coked up man
John C Dvorak: that's cool
that's that's that's a cocaine
even to talk like this you know
you just bought her got
assaulted like Kermit the Frog.
Possible if it uses salt to get
good dough is it's all clogged
up.
Adam Curry: No wonder they don't
have sound bites over. Know
what? She's gonna be great on
the stand. Excellent point.
Yeah. Okay. Great.
John C Dvorak: Well, you know
that he has a tidy beat as Okay,
now. Now we go to this is more
of the PBS but this actually
changed. They've changed from
the report. Now we're going into
the analysis studio bringing
this we bring in Ms. Lopez, who,
who's talking about before
previously talked about the
right wing riots, protesting
George Floyd.
Adam Curry: Yes. Okay. I
Unknown: think all of this here
is our White House correspondent
Laura bro Lopes. Good to see
you, Laura. It's good to see
you. So what are you hearing
from people you're talking to
about? You're learning racial
implications of Trump's bid. He
is a current candidate for
president and the rest of the
2024 GOP presidential field.
So first off this indictment
does not legally disqualify the
former president from running so
he is continuing to run. But I
spoke to a number of GOP
strategists who told me that In
the short term, they believe
that this helps Trump because
essentially it requires all of
his rivals or would be rivals to
have to respond to him to talk
about him to define themselves
in association with him. And now
whether or not that extends all
the way through the primary into
the nomination is a big
question. There's a lot of time
left on the board.
So we've heard repeatedly Mr.
Trump and his Republican allies
calling out the what they call
the weaponization of the justice
system calling all these
investigations witch hunts, when
you talk to extremism experts in
particular, what did they tell
you about the implications of
that kind of language?
Adam Curry: Wait a minute, do we
have any quotes from said
extremism experts? This is a new
gig. I haven't heard of the
extremists. I like it.
Unknown: So that language that
you just mentioned on no
weaponization has been used by
Trump as well as House GOP
leaders like Kevin McCarthy and
Steve Scalise and a number of
other Republicans. They've also
used words like quote,
persecution, witch hunt, and I
spoke to historian Ruth Bengi
out of New York University
today, and she diagnosed that
victimization like, Oh,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. The
question was, what are the
extremism experts saying? And
apparently she's the expert. And
then there's some librarian or
something she brings into it.
This is
John C Dvorak: a she brought it
into his story and from when
they didn't do your thing at
NYU,
Adam Curry: okay. Okay, so
that's the extreme is all right.
Well, she
John C Dvorak: I guess she is,
but then I want to play
Adam Curry: it again. It's
almost over I play together.
Unknown: It's in particular,
what did they tell you about the
implications of that kind of
language?
So that language that you just
mentioned, I'm now weaponization
has been used by Trump as well
as House GOP leaders like Kevin
McCarthy and Steve Scalise and a
number of other Republicans.
They've also used words like
quote, persecution, witch hunt,
and I spoke to historian Ruth
Bengi out of New York University
today, and she diagnosed that
victimization language
this is a talking points of
authoritarians to try and get
the public to see the forces
against them as discredited
partisan hacks and fests retain
their reputation for being the
ones who are going to drain the
swamp, which was Mussolini
slogan initially? Ah
Adam Curry: okay, it's in the
show notes. Yes. Yes, yes. In
the
John C Dvorak: show notes. This
is bullcrap. This Mussolini
thing came out of it at Albright
the Madeleine Albright wrote a
book and she threw it in there
as a toss away that did that he
did. He did actually say drain
the swamp a couple of times,
referring to actual swamps that
were needed that needed
draining. Are you kidding me?
No, not real. And so PolitiFact
and it's in the show notes, had
done a done research on this
because it was like sounded like
bull crap to them. And it turned
out to be bullcrap. Leaney never
used drain the swamps in the
sense that Trump did and then
they use the term in their
little report that this phrase
used as Trump uses it is all
American is American is apple
pies, exactly what they said,
interesting, this woman who's a
historian, who's an expert, I
guess that in some sort of male
or Attarian
Adam Curry: read from her from
her bio, Ruth, these, please.
Ben Keops is a historian who
writes about authoritarianism,
democracy protection and
propaganda. She is a professor
of history and Italian studies
at New York University, the
recipient of Guggenheim
Fulbright and other fellowships
and advisor to protect
democracy. And she's an MSNBC
opinion, opinion columnist. So
she's not an expert on
terrorism, or what wasn't
extremism, extremism, but
authoritarianism, and
specifically history and Italian
studies. And she doesn't even
know that this is bullcrap.
Regarding Mussolini.
John C Dvorak: She doesn't want
to know she said classic spook.
I don't want to become a liberal
NYU professor, that's just kind
of like step into a certain way
of thinking, and she's
disqualified. Unless PolitiFact
got it wrong, which doesn't seem
to be the case. They were very
thorough. She she wrote the
Adam Curry: book, strong men,
Mussolini, to the present,
published in 2020, a look at how
illiberal leaders use
propaganda, corruption, violence
and machismo and how they can be
defeated. Wow.
John C Dvorak: So good point is
this is another example to me.
Having done you know, a look at
it, and then other people have,
I guess, because this is very,
this was controversial when
Madeleine Albright made the
claim, which is where I think
she got this idea I'm Laura
bringing Laura Lopez to
something look I can't pronounce
her middle name is like
convoluted. Laura Lopez Reading
this stuff in this PBS has
really lost it. Oh yeah,
Unknown: just play a clip for.
So you heard Ruth say there that
those are hallmarks of
authoritarian movements and she
also said traits of
authoritarian movements are
attacking the press attacking
judges attacking prosecutors.
What about the prospects of
political violence here? We've
heard Mr. Trump calling for
protests for a week we saw Jeff
reporting there in New York that
New York officials are ramping
up their security. Mr. Trump has
promised death and destruction
if there was an indictment. What
should we what should we look
for ahead?
John C Dvorak: Okay, where did
Trump now this is a Laura's
thing. This is the host woman.
When did Trump promise death and
destruction? She said she
literally said he promised this
a news organization PBS. He
promised death and destruction
promised it can where can we
Adam Curry: listen to when I was
so short? I want to hear it
again.
Unknown: So you heard Ruth say
there that those are hallmarks
of authoritarian movements. And
she also said traits of
authoritarian movements are
attacking the press, attacking
judges attacking prosecutors.
What about the prospects of
political violence here? We've
heard Mr. Trump calling for
protests for a week we saw Jeff
reporting there in New York that
New York officials are ramping
up their security. Mr. Trump has
promised death and destruction
if there was an indictment. What
should we what should we look
for?
Adam Curry: Death and
destruction,
John C Dvorak: the promise. Now
he mentioned he mentioned death
and destruction. Yes. Warning
that anything could happen. You
have to carefully see it was if
it was couched but he did not
promise death and destruction.
This is a lie. This is yet
another PBS lie. Will people
stop giving them money and give
us the money? Stop giving them
money. Right on, right last
clip.
Unknown: So on that security
that New York PD is ramping up
Marjorie Taylor Greene, big ally
of Trump, a House Republicans
said that she's headed to New
York on Tuesday for the
arraignment. She tweeted that
today saying that she's going to
be going there and calling for
protests. Also calling it a
witch hunt in her tweet that
also comes on as foxes, Tucker
Carlson on air as he's talking
about the indictment is telling
his viewers that it's probably
not a good time for them to get
rid of their AR fifteens. And it
also comes as Trump and a number
of his allies have been using
dog whistle attacks, anti
semitic attacks against as when
they attack da Alvin Bragg by
saying that he is backed by
George Soros who is Jewish.
Adam Curry: She wish did she go
into it and explain how that is
a dog whistle or is that just
something we eat? That's
John C Dvorak: not just that was
kind of it goes on and on. But
it doesn't go into any details
about how the dog whistle works.
But there you go again. Now we
can't say anything about George
Soros. Because if you do, if you
criticize George Soros, you're
you're being anti semitic. How
does that work?
Adam Curry: Well, I guess you
can't criticize Jamie Dimon then
John C Dvorak: either you can't
criticize any Jew I guess.
Adam Curry: Even though there's
now Sergey Brin has been
subpoenaed and and Michael Ovitz
to testify in this JP Morgan
case where Jamie Dimon knew that
Epstein was was paying off sex
slaves. I guess we can't talk
about that then. No, no.
John C Dvorak: Can't you can't
criticize Epstein isn't a
Jewish. You can't criticize
Jeffrey Epstein. You're anti
semitic. This is bull crap. This
is a smokescreen. This is a way
to cover up and why again, I
asked the question this the last
night that was the last clip.
I'm asking the question. Why are
they circling the wagons around
Soros? What's wrong with this
picture? What is wrong with
public broadcasting?
Adam Curry: He probably funds
them to Hello. And you want to
you want to see how much the
Open Society Institute gives to
PBS I can only guess. Even
though interestingly so Soros is
I mean he's
John C Dvorak: he's almost no
he's not even in the he's not
even in the picture. They were
just right on his son Alex. But
the other point is it's not even
just open source open or open
whatever it's called Open
Society Institute open society.
It's a bunch of other ones he's
got like there's 30 or 40 of
these in fact the one they
mentioned earlier and and one of
your reports was also from
Monday through some other
operation to the to this brag
character. This is really
pathetic. This is not giving us
the public. What this is not
covering the news at all. This
is just covering their ass. You
Adam Curry: It's actually
helping Kanye is polite in an
odd, odd way. Very odd way. All
right, let's listen to a couple
politicians for a second.
Because Lindy Hop, Lady G was in
tears almost on Sean Hannity
show.
Unknown: So what's behind all
this hatred? They tried to
destroy Kavanaugh because they
wanted to keep the Supreme Court
seat open. They're trying to
destroy Donald Trump because
they fear him at the ballot box.
To the Conservatives out there.
Make sure you vote. If you got
friends make sure they vote if
you don't have any friends, go
make some friends. But you need
to help this man Donald J.
Trump.
Adam Curry: Make some friends.
I'm so outraged. I need friends.
They're trying
John C Dvorak: to review don't
have friends. Listen
Unknown: again to the
Conservatives out there. Make
sure you vote. If you got
friends make sure they vote if
you don't have any friends. Go
make some friends.
Adam Curry: If you don't have
any friends, go find some make
some friends. You need
Unknown: friends, but you need
to help this man Donald Trump.
Hilarious. They're trying to
drain him dry. He's more money
on lawyer.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's I think
stormy did a good job on that.
They're trying to drain dry.
Unknown: More money on lawyers
than most people spend on
campaigns. They're trying to
bleed him dry. Donald J
trump.com. Go tonight. Give the
president some money to fight
this bullshit. To destroy
America. We're gonna fight back
at the ballot box. We're not
gonna give in. How does this end
Shawn Trump wins in court and he
wins the election. That's how
this wins ends.
Adam Curry: Wow. And I only saw
a little bit of of Tucker I
think Thursday night because I
will of course I was curious as
it came out during the show day,
of course. And he had what's his
face? The guy from the blaze on
the black guy who? Like
John C Dvorak: guy from the
Blaze? Oh, yeah. Whitmore Well,
yeah, not Whitmore, football.
data analysts, Jason
Adam Curry: Jason Whitlock.
Whitlock? There we go. And he
said bullshit. And so there was
bullshit twice on Fox. You're
listening to our show? You I
mean, we, when we say bullshit,
it's rare. We say bull crap.
John C Dvorak: I just tried to
say bull crap. So do I have 10
Bull crabs? funnier sounding? I
mean, that's whenever you got
Lauren bobberts little comment,
which is I Call Bull crap,
right. I still think is.
Adam Curry: I think we have that
ISO Don't
John C Dvorak: be under bowburn.
Adam Curry: I think this is it.
I Call Bull crap. Yes.
John C Dvorak: It's funnier.
Adam Curry: But then he had
Glenn Beck on. Glenn Beck is a
Trump hater. Am I incorrect? Is
he not always been well, hater?
John C Dvorak: It's one of
those. It's always Mark Levin
the great one. Yeah. He was a
Trump hater. And I think Hannity
was too to be honest about
because he was a Bush family
guy. So he would be for Jeb. And
yeah, so they all hated Trump.
And I tried to share with the
three of them that hated Trump.
Adam Curry: Wait, did you see
what happened?
John C Dvorak: With Beck? Yeah.
No,
Adam Curry: he put on a maga
hat. He said I'm Maga now and he
put on a an autographed by
Trump, which I know is next to
his Rush Limbaugh microphone and
his studio since I've been
there. In his display case, he
had a Trump hat signed by Trump.
He ended up with the Rush
Limbaugh mic while he says it's
the one Yeah. Is it gold plated?
Yeah. That had been in his
museum. He has some crazy stuff
in his museum. He's got all
kinds of stuff from presidents
and
John C Dvorak: yeah, he looks
like a hoarder. Yeah, he,
hoarder.
Adam Curry: He's a hoarder, but
he has a guide to write it down
and arrange it. So that you
know, that's called a museum.
John C Dvorak: The hoarder was
it was a manager. Okay.
Adam Curry: So and that to me
was like, Whoa, there's Beck
going all Maga. That was very
interesting. So now let's hear
from CBS. And we'll kind of wrap
it up for me. I think, Elizabeth
Warren, we need to have another
politician on. Here she is,
Unknown: as we've been saying
all morning. unprecedent,
uncharted territory,
unprecedented motions. What was
your reaction when you heard
that? No one is above the law,
not even a former president of
the United States. That's a very
sober time for our country. A
real moment in history.
Adam Curry: Oh, no, she's, she's
smart. She's smart here. And
yep.
Unknown: I think the most
important part of this is to say
that a foundational piece of our
democracy is holding that it is
possible to have an independent
investigation to go wherever the
facts lead, and then to follow
the process through And that's
going to mean to follow it all
the way through, including,
assuming there is an arrest. If
there's a trial, Donald Trump
can plead not guilty, he can
bring whatever evidence he wants
it or we know this in school,
we're always taught no one is
above the law.
Adam Curry: Interesting how she
also kind of alludes to the fact
that he can prove he's not
guilty. You're not interesting,
These people are nuts. He can
prove that he's not guilty.
That's not how it works. But Is
that Is that some kind of evil
conditioning that has now come
into play?
John C Dvorak: I think you may
have stumbled onto something. It
happened from time because I
hadn't noticed any of this and
Butch Naja mentioned it is kind
of a I wouldn't call it NLP, but
it's definitely some sort of
conditioning that they were
you're guilty until you can
prove yourself innocent.
Adam Curry: The next clip from
her
Unknown: Why are no Republican
saying this, we hear Lindsey
Graham saying this is legal
voodoo, political persecution,
political hatred, that this is
all about a political witch
hunt. Why are there no
Republicans out one saying that
no one is above the law, that
this is all about politics? i
It's hard not to see it. It's
hard not to see a political lens
on this, is it not?
I can't answer for the
Republicans, I can only answer
for myself. And for myself, it's
about backing off and letting
the system work. Trust in the
process. There is no reason to
believe there's been anything
other than an independent
investigation. It's walked
through all the steps. It is a
grand jury, according to the
evidence released that
Adam Curry: evidence released.
What have you seen any evidence
released? This, this, she's
doing some kind of SIOP here
Unknown: jury according to the
evidence release, that has voted
independently. And we will go
forward with that process. And
that process offers plenty of
opportunity for Donald Trump or
anyone else accused of a crime
to bring forward whatever
evidence they want to use
whatever part of the legal
system they want. But we follow
the law for everyone because
it's foundational in our
democracy. I
Adam Curry: remember sitting in
class Wow, well, before before,
what's your face goes into
remember sitting in class, she
does it again here. It's
foundational to our democracy.
You can bring anything you want,
you can follow. I'm gonna play
that again. You can follow you
could follow the law, you can
bring anything you want to prove
your innocence, no Pocahontas
that has
Unknown: voted independently.
And we will go forward with that
process. And that process,
Adam Curry: that process is
schoolmarm is going to explain
that process now offers plenty
Unknown: of opportunity for
Donald Trump or anyone else
accused of a crime, to bring
forward whatever evidence they
want to use whatever part of the
legal system they want. But we
follow the law for everyone
because it's foundational in our
democracy. And I remember
sitting in Iran for three buddy
gets treated this,
this is the thing that so
concerning Donald Trump is
calling for, in his words, death
and destruction. He's falling
for his allies to rally behind
him. He's asking people to
please speak up.
Adam Curry: I find this, this is
truly abhorrent
Unknown: for him. Actually, I
wouldn't. I'm glad you got this,
because you're onto something.
Because what she said, in fact,
in fact, you don't have to bring
anything to prove your ID at
all. You don't have to bring a
single thing, you could just sit
yourself down. And if they can't
prove you're guilty, you're out
of there. But to prove anything,
if you didn't do anything, and
they can't prove you did
Adam Curry: it, she not a
professor of law.
John C Dvorak: This is really I
think you've stumbled on
something that's very, very bad,
dark and endless. Let's just as
a reminder, I hate to play this
clip over and over again. But it
goes right back to good old John
Brennan Brenner, former
Adam Curry: director of C I A
Unknown: people are innocent
until alleged to be involved in
some type of criminal activity.
Adam Curry: So you're innocent
until alleged to be guilty of
some kind of criminal activity
and that have they? I can't
believe there was a meeting and
they said, Hey, I got an idea.
John C Dvorak: Meeting this is
organic.
Adam Curry: But how does that
happen? How does that happen?
Well, I got one more clip.
Unknown: Are you worried about
violence industry? Dangerous
rhetoric? Yeah, yeah, it's very,
I'm very concerned about
that. It is dangerous and
violence is never the answer.
This is part of the reason we
have a court system so that we
don't resolve these things. Are
you worried about it? Are you
worried about it, I always worry
about violence. But again, I
think that's why it's important
for as many people as possible
to take a deep breath to be calm
to step back and say this is one
more step in the legal process.
Donald Trump is going to have
plenty of opportunities to make
his case in open court Oh, and
the prosecution will have the
same opportunity. Let the
process go forward. No one is
above the law.
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. So their
star witnesses are Michael
Cohen, the guy who says X
cetera. And this checked
Unknown: I've seen him naked.
He's a lot scarier with his
clothes on and after Abinadi put
me through last January. You
know, I'm not scared.
Adam Curry: I can't wait to
watch it.
John C Dvorak: Well, I know you
play deck that stormy Daniels
clipped twice but for that one,
I'm giving you a borderline Clip
of the Day.
Adam Curry: Oh, thank you. I'll
take it. And with that, I'd like
to thank you for your courage in
the morning to you the man who
put the DOS see in the can
please say hello to my friend on
the other end less gentle Mr.
John C.
John C Dvorak: In the morning,
do Mr. Adam curry also in the
Moreno ship see boots on the
ground feet in the air subs in
the water and all the names and
ice out there. And we
Adam Curry: got plenty of your
show left. This is just the
first two tapas we've done. So
if you leave that's on you
because you'll have to prove
your NSL count. Let's see how
many we have in the room right
now. That we're waiting for us.
2472 We could lose 500 Get out
of here leave Yes, you can
leave. We don't need you. We
will keep 2000 We don't need you
need you at all. That is troll
room.io where you can listen
live on Thursdays and Fridays.
When we call bull crap on
everything. That's what we do.
That's our main job. And people
seem to get peace somehow with
this stuff. When we dissect this
bullcrap. It makes people think
about the words that are being
used and the cycle and NLP I'm
gonna say it and psychological
warfare by our politicians and
news media. And I'm just ah, and
luckily, we do it with humor,
because we're stupid. We're just
some old dudes. So that's why
people come to us to listen up.
And to feel good about okay,
let's just put this into
perspective. All right, go
outside sniff sniff whatever
stormy Daniels is sniffing Oh my
god. Oh my goodness. Now you can
also follow us for as long as it
lasts and no agenda social.com

to thank as part of our value
for value system, which as you
know is time talent and
treasure. We want to thank our
artist who brought us the
artwork for episode 1542 titled
Digital dementia actually
someone Someone said that that
term showed up somewhere else
that people are starting to use
digital dementia, I thought was
kind of interesting. We want to
should it's good term. We want
to thank Darren O'Neill, who
brought us the artwork the no
agenda, electronic brain AI
powered, which was I mean, you
said right off the bat. This is
the one Yeah, I went to the I
think I went to
John C Dvorak: let the boy had
to do that right off the bat.
Because you hate Derek. Did you
Adam Curry: hate him? It's true.
It's true. This is fact.
John C Dvorak: Well, I went over
it, because you had to take a
break. And I was looking at once
I like was the pause AI by
Fletcher, which I use for the
newsletter. I just thought it
was cute. But it was hard. You
couldn't read the thing. And it
was it but it was obvious that
Darren piece was he just sent me
got into his mind to do this
with it's one of those stupid
games. I remember those.
Adam Curry: Yeah. What was that
game where you had to touch
John C Dvorak: something and
then you had to match it with
something else that showed how a
circuit worked. Oh, yeah, it was
just some dumb thing. But it was
it was I guess educational at
the time was retro man. It was
truly retro. And and the piece
was done with a Yeah, he had the
I know where he got that art,
but I'm sure he didn't draw it.
And I'm sure there was a classic
Adam Curry: comics or Blogger
didn't call him out as stealing
so
John C Dvorak: well, because he
probably couldn't find it. I
also liked electric brains by
Melvin Gibbs Stein. And he it's
just you couldn't read the best
podcasts in the same old
singularity.
Adam Curry: Oh, right. Right.
Right. Right. Right. That's a
good piece. Yes. That was a good
piece. And there was another one
that people had some good AI
stuff which I think we pulled
apart
John C Dvorak: appropriately.
And of course, comic strip
blogger did. Ai generators. So
now stolen, uh, come on a Sikh
Don't be anti AI.
Adam Curry: I'm very anti AI.
And we can see it right away. So
if I can see it, we're not gonna
waste a good piece anyway. But
if we can see it, we can hear
it, if we can smell it, we're
not using it. We're against
that. We like human beings, we'd
like don't call it a tool tool
at all. Now, of course, if a
synonymous of Dogpatch and
Laurel Bovisa sent me an email,
and by the way, I have to
apologize, I'm not quite sure
what happened. Somehow, we, we
repented for giving out the
incorrect code, his donation
number 2254. And we had said,
2252, I'm not sure what
happened, but the original show
something, I had a crash of my
editing software, and there was
a gap. And I think that gap
contain the actual coded number.
So it's 2254, in case that is
important for world peace. But
he picked me and he said, So how
are you guys gonna feel about
when? When AI starts using bits
of your show? I'm like, great.
We've always encouraged lawyers.
We're gonna sue anybody.
John C Dvorak: I think we should
have aI stealing it and making
it its own.
Adam Curry: No, but if they're
promoting our show with it, I
have no dad,
John C Dvorak: you think that's
gonna happen? I don't see the
promotion of anything. But AI is
done. They don't reference
anything. They don't promote
anything. They don't say where
the material came from. Right
now. It's only from Wikipedia,
or mostly from Wikipedia, which
is open source,
Adam Curry: I wouldn't I would
be guaranteeing about a piece of
audio. This is what I would be
thinking,
John C Dvorak: well, a piece of
audio that goes on and on about
something and then they credits
it to someone else. I don't
think that's you
Adam Curry: know, if they
credited to someone else, that's
a problem. Of course.
John C Dvorak: That's what it'll
do.
Adam Curry: I want show me the
first here's what because you
know, sir, Jean is all in on AI.
Oh, so good. And I forgive
John C Dvorak: her Jean is now
the poster boy for AI.
Adam Curry: I forgive him. I
forgive him for this. Because
Oh, he sent me this short movie
made by AI. And it's the end of
the world. Of course, it's AI.
And then they have a Biden voice
in there, which actually wasn't
too bad. And then they come in
with Trump. Amen is so bad. I, I
defy any AI to do a perfect
Trump, it cannot be done. And
it's not just how we sound. It's
what he's saying. I can I can
smell that and hear that a mile
away. I don't think AI will ever
be able to do it. Even actors
can't do it. There's very few
who can they can get the voice.
Kinda right. The guy on SNL
becomes very close. But you can
hear it. We're not going to be
fooled by this. People getting
fooled by Dylan Mulvaney with
Bud Light. Okay, that's on you
while you're watching that at
all. Anyway, I digress. Other
things we looked at were I kind
of liked the we didn't even talk
about Francisco Scaramanga with
a slow the AI curve. I liked
that one. But I only saw that
later, and I didn't fight for
it. But it probably still would
have lost out to the electronic
brain, which is just a dynamite
piece. We thank you. Darren
O'Neill.
John C Dvorak: And Derek has
just not hit one for a while.
He's not hedging a couple of
years ago, he did the most all
year.
Adam Curry: He has not been
hitting it lately. For Darren.
John C Dvorak: Well, the
competition is gone. It's stiff
to the roof. It is
Adam Curry: stiff. It is stuff.
So no agenda art. generator.com
is where you can follow along
where you can always, even if
you're listening live, it's cool
to do that. But of course, if
you want you can get that modern
podcast app, it'll show you a
whole bunch of these in the
chapters also something you
don't get on legacy apps. So
that's the time and talent
portion for treasure. We go to
our executive and Associate
Executive Producers kicking it
off with right off the bat with
a $1,000 donation from another
dude named Ben. And he sent in a
handwritten note and I will read
some of it. It's quite long.
Adam and John. Sorry, this
donation is so long to find you.
I've been listening close to
three years now I find your show
informative and refreshing.
Refreshing voice away from the
mainstream media who have been
pumping us full of buffalo
feathers. For quite some time. I
like buffalo feathers. I would
write that down. Is that a term
buffalo feathers?
John C Dvorak: Not that I know
of but it is now I like it.
Buffalo feathers, Buffalo
feathers.
Adam Curry: I finally decided to
quit procrastinating and donate
after hearing Adam speak on the
JRE epic So a few months ago, I
commend you for you taking a
stand as a follower and brother
in Jesus Christ. And he goes on,
he says, and actually he says
something interesting is I wish
that Joe could become could
become a Christian. I said,
Well, you should pray for him.
So we really appreciate it. And
he says, Thank you very much.
From another dude named Ben,
this one in commercial concrete
construction. And we love our
dudes named Ben, they are the
ones that keep the world alive,
and very much appreciated. And I
don't know did he get he didn't
ask for a night name. He didn't
ask for knighting
John C Dvorak: get put on the
list.
Adam Curry: He's not on the
list. So I want to wait. So he
should probably give us a night
name. I don't even know if he if
he realizes that he can be
knighted. And I'd like him to do
that. So for now, I'm gonna give
him a dee doo dee doo deuced.
And please write back to us. And
let us know what you'd like to
be and what your roundtable
rewards are, etc. And thank you
very much. I really appreciate
that.
John C Dvorak: It's you're in
the mood for reading. I think
you should read the next
Adam Curry: Nairobi Dino from
Aberdeen power in Scotland, he
said and that's $334. You may
recall my first donation back in
March of 2021. From hospital not
the hospital. When I had
pericarditis from the first
vaccination and you played the
end of show mix, there's no
AstraZeneca in Spain to the tune
of three dogs night never been
to Spain. I was listening to
this at 430 in the morning in my
hospital room, and I laughed so
hard the nurse came in wondering
what was wrong with me. The
irony was too much I had to
laugh and of course that healed
him immediately. Oh, no.
Unfortunately, following that
medical episode, although I was
very hesitant my cardiac
consultant assured me and
insisted I should get a second
vaccination, saying the mantra
the good news. Wow, laugh at
him. That's not fun. It's not
nice. Rather. Oh my goodness.
John C Dvorak: So the first one
didn't kill yet. Just try number
two. Come on. can do it? What's
the worst?
Adam Curry: Oh my goodness. I
see. Saying the monitor the NHS
uses regarding people being
negatively affected by the
vaccine quote, correlation does
not imply causation. I can just
hear him say it already. On
receiving the second vaccine. I
had a heart attack. Oh man. I
have hilar
John C Dvorak: sick to be
laughing at this poor man.
Adam Curry: I have had three in
total following the second
vaccination. Oh my goodness. Now
they have on my medical notes.
No vaccines. Something that the
no agenda show was saying all
along. Sadly, oh, this is no
laughing matter now. Oh, no.
Okay. And although I am
recovering well, I regret ever
taking the vaccine. And I wish I
had listened to you the best
podcast in the universe. So in
light of me being a numpty and
not taking your advice please do
Do
John C Dvorak: you spend deed
deuced. We should mention we've
never given advice line never
given a never given? Not we have
all we do is present evidence
the facts of the matter. Yep.
And you can just make your own
damn decision. There's plenty of
people that listen to the show
that have gotten the vaccine
gotten that they feel fine. They
have no problems with it. And
there's plenty of other people
right off the bat, for example,
our friend up there and I guess
he was in Denver, the paramedic
who took the vaccine early on,
we just we just read his report.
That's right. We do not give
medical advice on the show he's
Adam Curry: emboldened now we do
not. That's correct. So we did
do some he says he likes him.
Yeah, karma for good health. And
he said, could just for one last
time, please, please, please
could you play we told you so on
no agenda, even though we didn't
tell you so I'll do it by
request. And he says we totally
could you possibly play? There's
no AstraZeneca in Spain at the
end of the show? Yes, I will.
It's in the mix. And that is
from Professor JJ Professor John
who is in China. And that was
one of his better ones. He sent
many many many that have never
made the show and that was what
they did. With this donation. I
am so proud to join the
roundtable and we'd like to be
knighted sir Scotland the Brave
and would ask to have haggis
neeps and tatties at the
roundtable. You've got Ah, there

much for supporting the best
podcast in the universe episode
1543 formula
Unknown: is this. We go out we
hit people in the mouth
John C Dvorak: should mention
that there's been some horrible
accident I suppose on the Nimitz
freeway highway 80 Because it's
been stopped dead for the last
time stopped dead. But last 10
minutes a huge jam up and I was
hearing a bunch of skidding
earlier and I figure what
happened is I'm just guessing
because I can't see down the
road where it was somebody hit a
pothole roof.
Adam Curry: You already flipped
a car one of your main
complaints
John C Dvorak: at his after
hitting the pothole probably
another car hit the pod they
probably crashed in midair. And
now this whole thing starts
horrible. We were spending our
money on fixing potholes in
Ukraine.
Adam Curry: I want to I got two
clips here. Clip custodian sent
these to me from Fox and and I
think it's a very I think is a
trap being said here. Dr.
Jeanette Nash you want to think
is her name came on to discuss
there's there's been a lot of
concern about the World Health
Organization and the in the so
called treaty, the World Health
Organization treaty that all
countries are signed that have
actually already signed on to
But there's an update that
we've, we've discussed it, and
it's being discussed and it, you
know, the actual vote failed
once, but they're going to come
back to it. And the idea is that
the World Health Organization
would have complete control over
our health services in, in the
West, because of course, they're
mainly China, China controlled
and Bill Gates, all the same
thing. And, and so the, what we
know from what we've
deconstructed about this treaty,
is that it does not need to be
ratified the way the language
will be written, because the
treaty with the United States is
already a member of the treaty
as the EU. And so they can just
add to it if they vote on that
themselves, and it can just kind
of be slipped in. It is my
belief.
John C Dvorak: They were just
like, you're telling me there's
a treaty out there this like a
EULA? We're in there. It says we
can change this at a time
without notice.
Adam Curry: That's a very good
analogy. Yes. It doesn't well,
and it doesn't need to be
ratified again. Yes, it is like
a you. That's my understanding.
I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a
doctor. I'm certainly not Dr.
Jeanette. It is my belief that
they are setting a trap by
calming everybody, certainly the
people who would be concerned
about that, which would be the
people who watch Fox News. And
and they're probably lying to
us. So I want to play these two
clips so we can figure out
what's going on.
Unknown: i What is your reaction
about what the who
has said? They're saying that
healthy children and teenagers
probably don't need the COVID
vaccine?
They say the traditional shots
are more important.
Yeah, that's right. So the World
Health Organization is coming
out with their new guidelines.
They do say if you're still high
risk to get a booster every six
months to a year, but when it
comes to age, six months of age,
and up to 17 years of age,
that's not recommended for most
young teenagers. And that makes
sense. Kids, they are the lowest
risk group when it comes to
severe complications with COVID.
And on top of that, we've
reached a level of population
immunity. Many children more
than 88% have already had COVID.
So they have that protection
from natural immunity. And many
of them also have had vaccines.
So when you combine protection
from vaccination protection from
infection and reinfection,
you're at low risk, and it makes
sense that you don't need to
have that additional shot unless
you have any underlying medical
circumstances. But is it a
significant public health
benefit to vaccinate toddlers?
At this point? The answer is no.
Adam Curry: So this to me is the
setup. They're telling you, hey,
the World Health Organization is
actually the kind of saying
something good to say. They're
not saying what the CDC is
saying or saying what the FDA
say. They're saying No, you
shouldn't do that.
Unknown: There are a lot of
parents that don't want their
children vaccinated. What do you
think this means for the fall?
When schools get back, go back?
You know, back into classes, our
children go back into the
classes. Do you think that the
schools will take this
information and use that and
say, You don't need to be
vaccinated? I
hope so. I hope the CDC follows
the recommendations do they know
the world sometimes, like for
example, the World Health
Organization said do not mask
children yet our CDC said Master
children, so I do hope they
follow suit and understand that
the children are the lowest risk
group and we should not you know
in place on them all of these
restrictions and guidelines, let
them be free. Let them live. Let
them develop that natural
immunity with all the other
viruses that are out there where
she says
Adam Curry: just let them live.
Let them live. What the kids do
you understand what I'm saying?
They're making it sound like Oh,
our CDC, you know, even though
the World Health Organization,
would you say? Yeah, they're
saying, Oh, they're, they're
stricter. Um, you don't have to?
I think this is a setup. I'm all
going to be like, oh, you know,
our CDC had just a bunch of
dicks. But wait until the new
treaty the new EULA is in place.
Just saying. That felt a little
Trappy to me.
John C Dvorak: To be a little
Trappy I got some I had those
clips too, but I didn't see it
that way. Oh,
Adam Curry: do you still see it?
Do you still see it differently?
John C Dvorak: No. I did. That's
an interesting thesis. I'm not
going to get into his you're not
going to disagree with me. I'm
not going to disagree. I have
some COVID clips since we're on
the topic. Okay,
Adam Curry: good. I had that's
about all I had of COVID
John C Dvorak: right my COVID
who news no booster is the same
as what you played. Okay, but I
got a kick out of listening to
Rand Paul go after. After
Blinken.
Adam Curry: Hey, Bob. Okay.
John C Dvorak: This is right.
And then this went on for 10
minutes and I took about Oh,
looks like it took about four
minutes out of it with three
clips. And I get there's some
good stuff in your bag. I tried
to get the best of it. Let's
listen to him go after Blinken
right off the top here. Rampaul
versus Blinken.
Unknown: On September 12. And
November 7 of last year I sent
letters to the State Department
asking for records about
Coronavirus research that had
been funded by the State
Department State Department
refused to comply. When
Assistant Secretary Sherman came
I asked her the same question.
She didn't seem to be aware that
you had been funding Coronavirus
research, but you are. And I got
the I'll get back to you lOn. A
couple of weeks later, I met
personally with you at the State
Department and asked you the
same question. Will you not
divulge to us the records of the
State Department's support for
Coronavirus research,
particularly in China, You
assured me you would help we
communicated several times over
the phone with another Assistant
Secretary of State who finally
sent us a letter and said no,
we're not going to give you
anything. So that's where we
stand. And it's my question is
what's the State Department
hiding? Why won't you give these
records to the American people?
Senator, thank you. And yes, I
appreciate you raising this when
we saw each other a month or so
ago. And my understanding is
that our teams have been working
to find an accommodation.
There's long standing, we've got
to refuse
blanket refusal. No, they are
not going to give us records.
We cannot directly provide the
unredacted cables, we have a
long standing practice with this
committee about how we do
refusing
you're refusing to release that
Oh, but you can't there's a
difference between can and may
you won't do it. But you can do
it. And
my hope is that we can find a
way forward that answers your
concerns so that you get the
information that you're looking
for. And my understanding is
that our team has been working
on that. And I commit to
continue to do that. So we can
get you the the
we're talking about unclassified
material, most of this is
unclassified. And so we just had
a unanimous vote in the Senate
and in the house. And President
Biden just signed a bill saying
he's going to declassify stuff.
But if you declassified and you
still hide it from the American
people, that's a problem.
Adam Curry: Oh, really? don't
see it that way. That's not a
problem. You need to know
anything Shut up club.
John C Dvorak: So of course this
isn't being covered by anybody.
Except so yeah, they made a big
fuss as you noticed. In fact, we
have another big fuss that we
mentioned in the last show that
somebody clarified for us which
is the authorization for
military use of force use of
force they kicked out two of
them but this they left in the
2021 version, which was the most
important one of the 2001 Now is
it 2021 It's already I'm sorry
Yeah, I have to do I have to
note I have to read the note but
let's get back to this I'm
sorry. We're getting off topic
but the this is an example
though where yeah, we would
grandstands with all passes are
going to release all the
documents and that he did keep
that they don't release
anything.
Adam Curry: Oh, why bother was
with a little people?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, screw us.
Okay, let's do part two, this
part two, which is interesting
that introduces the USA ID into
the picture.
Unknown: I mean, we spend all of
this time lambasted
authoritarians. And for lack of
transparency, we have these
silly networks on TV that are
aligned with the Democrat party
saying democracy is under
attack. What do you think
transparency has something to do
with democracy Nice. You're
refusing to give records on
research money that went for
research, we want to read the
research grant proposals. We
want to read what the people in
Wuhan sent back to the State
Department saying they did.
Which viruses did they create?
Because the thing is, is it
sounds all great, we're going to
identify all the viruses of the
world. But part of what they do
is they take a virus they found
200 feet down in a cave, and
they mix it with another virus
to create a virus that doesn't
exist in nature, because they
say that's how we're going to
further identified. There's a
big debate that should be had
whether that safe to take a
virus from 100 feet down a
Batcave 12 hours out to Wuhan
and take it to a city of 10
million. And yet you won't help
us investigate this you refuse.
And it makes it is reminiscent
of the countries we criticize
for lack of transparency. And
yet you sit there and say you're
still going to continue to
reviews.
Senator, I think there are very
important debates that certainly
go beyond my knowledge and
expertise for example, on gain
of function that I know there's
a vigorous debate about whether
the risk outweighs the reward. I
don't have the expertise
how do we have oversight or
investigate it if you won't give
us a week
so the program that in this
instance USA ID was involved in
was not engaged in gain of
function
Adam Curry: Wow, this is so deep
they're waffling so bad on it's
it's a huge mess. And you got to
think that this is this is level
Kennedy killing cover up. Oh,
yeah. It's really bad cheese.
John C Dvorak: Now the last
clip, which I don't see on here,
unfortunately discusses the fact
that they that the there was
some leaked documents. I had to
get those and put them back in
here. I don't know what happened
to him. Too bad. Yeah, I got
this.
Adam Curry: I was gonna say what
I well, I what I see is actually
go ahead because I want to
change topic
John C Dvorak: that this last
let's play this for this is
COVID vac CDC corruption new
Unknown: and the CDC now says a
new about safety irregularities
for the COVID vaccine earlier
than we thought. Here's the
story.
The Epoch Times this week
published files obtained from
the CDC via a Freedom of
Information Act request. The
file show that in May of 2022,
the CDC found more than 700
signals that the vaccines could
cause adverse events. Such
adverse events include acute
heart failure and death. It was
previously thought the CDC
detected the signals in July
2022 When the CDC conducted its
first analysis employees
identified more than 200 signals
for Pfizer shot and 93 signals
for modernise vaccine, Senator
Ron Johnson, the top Republican
on the Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations said federal
health agencies have ignored the
flashing alarms of their own
safety surveillance systems
since early 2021. They have
ignored my oversight letters and
lied about what analyses they
have performed. It is well past
time for the American public to
be told the truth.
Adam Curry: Isn't it great that
we have this Trump indictment
while all of this stuff is
taking place? Yeah, this
coincidence, shout, this is why
you gotta listen to the your no
agenda show. So you at least can
keep track of what they're doing
to us. And now there's something
bad going on Canada Navia as
well. This is this is the Bill C
11, which we've discussed many
times, or certainly Bill C 10.
Which was the first I think it's
called the online streaming act.
What this does is it gives the
CRTC that's the Canadian
regulatory body that oversees
radio and television so I guess
in a way like our FCC, but it's
now expanded to cover all audio
visual content on the internet,
including Tik Tok, YouTube,
Spotify, podcast clients. Good.
How about that? You better get a
new podcast app now people,
especially if you live in
Canada, because they're going to
try and I mean, they can't. But
they will. They will. They will
censor, maybe even No, no agenda
on Spotify and an apple and
apple and Spotify will comply.
As well as YouTube and everybody
else under Bill under Bill and
this past on March 30. Under be
Bill C 11. All platforms hosting
audio visual content that are
not specifically excluded, must
make financial contributions to
producing officially recognized

1980s era point system built on
legacy legacy media broadcast
media. I'm not quite sure
exactly what is going on. But
pure polar bear polar bear. I
hate to see it. He says his
name. He was very upset and he
put out like a a tick tock
emergency broadcast. And I'm
wondering if you see this one
here.
Unknown: Hi, everyone. Pierre
Paul, we have here. There's just
an emergency here in Parliament
Hill. The Liberals have just
announced that they're shutting
down debate. They're censoring
debate on their censorship.
Bill. We just got the notice
right now. As you know, they've
been trying to censor the
Internet. And what Canadian
artists Margaret Atwood is
called creeping totalitarianism.
So given Troodos woke
bureaucrats over the CRTC the
power to control what you see
and say on the internet. I'm
just rushing into the House of
Commons lobby right now
conservatives are the only party
fighting back. But as you can
see, this closure is now being
brought regular for us right
now. Right here. online
streaming. They're bringing in
what's called closure, which
shuts down debate and ramps the
bill through in record time.
Only conservatives are fighting
back against this censorship.
Dale, we believe you should have
the freedom to decide what you
see and stay online. But I need
you to immediately sign my
freedom of speech petition. The
link is right before you click
Sign immediately. Let's bring
home freedom. I want to give you
back control of your life and
make this the freest country on
Earth. It's common sense. Let's
bring it home. Now.
Adam Curry: So if I understand
correctly, what is still under
debate is some amendments that
may or may not go in and I'm a
little unsure of the timeline.
So I do have a one minute clip
of of the I guess the liberal
party saying hey, man, why don't
you what's what's wrong with
you? What's wrong with with
what's wrong? What's your
problem? What's your problem
with work? And the same peer
your politician peer group takes
the stage and I'm wondering if
Unknown: you would like to kind
of backtrack or apologize on on
character In the CRTC is a small
group of privileged insiders
closest to the prime minister.
And I would also ask him if he
would like to define the word
woke I asked one of his
colleagues as well, for that
definition, I'd like to see what
he has to say
thank you. The opposition.
Actually, I will backtrack, it
is a big group of insiders. big
sprawling bureaucracy with far
too many people working for it,
there will be less people
working for the CRTC when I'm
Prime Minister, because they'll
have less power and they'll have
a hell of a lot less to do when
I restore freedom of speech and
freedom expression online and on
the internet. And as for the
definition of well, woke has one
purpose only one purpose, plenty
of pretexts, but only one
purpose control. It is designed
to divide people by race, by
gender, by ethnicity, by
religion, by vaccine status, and
any other way that they can
divide people into groups
because why then you can justify
having a government to control
all those groups. No more woke
we need to leave.
Adam Curry: There you go. Same
goes for the US and everywhere
else where woke is in play. That
I'd liked that. He said that
within 40 seconds. I was pretty
good. Yeah. Nailed it. We had
some pretty bad tornadoes. Yeah,
I
John C Dvorak: have some weather
reports.
Adam Curry: Oh, let's give it
give me the weather reports.
John C Dvorak: Well, this is a
this is interesting, because I
have a contrasting series of
clips. Yours first, I have
tornadoes and climate change
because that's what they bring
up on PBS. I have a two parter
there and then that I follow
that with an old classic clip
from 1953.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. Let's hear
the PBS version.
Unknown: And as the cleanup
begins, more than 200,000 people
across five states remain
without power. Oh, no. We're on
these storms. Walker Ashley of
Northern Illinois University.
He's an atmospheric scientist
and a certified consulting
meteorologist. I understand you
were doing some some firsthand
research last night a little
storm chasing. What did you see?
Well got on some good supercells
in the central part of the
Seychelles. Luckily, they didn't
produce any tornadoes in the
area that I was in but
unfortunately for the
communities they did get take
some pretty big hail but
compared to some parts of the
Midwest, I think we made out
okay,
John C Dvorak: okay. Again, I
found this is the intro to this
guy. He's storm chasing and he
says I luckily I saw no
tornadoes.
Adam Curry: That's it his whole
thing is to see tornadoes is not
what
John C Dvorak: storm chasing
isn't that the idea to see
tornadoes? Isn't that way to do
storm chasing? I would say so.
So why is he feel lucky? Didn't
see any. Okay, so that that's
the premise for this guy. So now
he's gonna give us a little
rundown on climate change.
Unknown: You've got a recent
study about the future of super
cells in the United States.
First of all, what is a
supercell? Great question.
Super cells are rotating
thunderstorms. They're actually
relatively small. But they pack
a heck of a punch. I always
liken them to peanuts. You know,
peanut is a relatively small
piece of food, but boy, it's got
a lot of calories, a lot of
protein, a lot of fat. And these
super cells, although relatively
small, produce the lion's share
of tornadoes and significant
hail that we experience in the
United States and some of
the biggest tornadoes in recent
years more Oklahoma Joplin,
Missouri, the southern outbreak
in 2011. You as I understand
your study, you modeled various
levels of carbon in the in it
over the years to see what would
happen and what did you find
was just not carbon, we looked
at various sort of future
projections of the greenhouse
gas right emission scenarios.
Both this intermediate and
pessimistic warming reveal a
dramatic increase in the number
of super cells across the Mid
South, the Ozark Plateau, the
lower Ohio Valley. So that area
of of let's call it northeast
Texas, eastern Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Missouri, and
stretching over to Mississippi
and Alabama, I take sometimes a
doubling of the number of
supercells. If you double the
number of supercells, the number
of unfortunately the hail and
tornadoes could also see a
doubling somebody uniquely,
though we actually see a decline
into the areas of the western
Great Plains. Some people like
to call that colloquially sort
of tornado alley, tornadoes, and
supercells are still going to go
through this area, but maybe
it's some slider or maybe less
rates as we move into the 21st
century. And to
these recent storms. And we had
big storms last weekend again
this weekend. Do they suggest
that the future is here? That's
a great
question. Climate change is
occurring right now is going to
accelerate based on the emission
scenarios that we're seeing.
There's certainly things that we
can do to mitigate that. And
tornadoes are becoming more
frequent East
Adam Curry: before before You
play your your, your 53 clip,
I'd like to play a report from
Deutsche Avella the German
international news station with
their take on this event. Is
that okay?
Unknown: Yeah, I think why have
we been seeing so many strong
tornadoes this year?
Well, this is our middle of our
tornado season here across the
United States kind of starts to
march ramps up in April into
May. So these are common to
happen. And this time of year,
but the storm was actually a
little stronger, got down to
about 980 millibars, a little
stronger. When you get that
strong of a system over land,
you can get pretty good strong
tornadoes. And indeed, we did
have that from parts of the
United States and Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas,
back into parts of Mississippi,
Tennessee, even here in Alabama
as well, too. So this time of
year, we can get these, you just
have that warm, humid air coming
up from the Gulf of Mexico,
meaning that colder air from up
in Canada, they clash together
out there and get a strong front
to come in. And these
thunderstorms thrive on energy,
the warm, humid air. And indeed
We did have quite a few of them.
And unfortunately, this won't be
the last we'll have this spring.
Tell us Is there a link between
climate change and the frequency
and intensity?
Right now, there's no study that
says that, obviously with some
warmer, more humid air coming
from the Gulf of Mexico, that
does become fuel for some of
these storms that may lead to
more humid air, which those
storms thrive off of what
studies are still ongoing as to
the small impact of a tornado
versus a global impact. What
we're seeing.
So the United States is, let's
say particularly affected by
tornadoes. Can you explain to us
why that is.
It's just the setup of where we
are on the face of the earth. We
have our rocky mountains over
the western part of the country.
We have our Appalachian
mountains over the East and in
between you have this river
valley, right where the
Mississippi River is. And that
allows all this warm air to come
up from the south meaning cold
air from the north. And when the
systems kind of collide in those
setup, like we had yesterday,
that allows us to get really
strong areas of low pressure,
and that helps to form these
systems. And we can see these
each and every year and anytime
we get in the springtime. It is
22 season here.
Adam Curry: Thank you George
Avella. Good try was
John C Dvorak: Astellas is
simplistic. It didn't blame
climate change, or PBS Exactly.
Adam Curry: This is the German
television saying no. That's not
because of climate change. This
is what happens. And I think you
now have a historical document.
John C Dvorak: So let's go to
1953.
Unknown: So 1953 was an
extremely active tornado a year
and I want to check out some
archival video about that
tornado that struck waco that
year.
This is what happens when a
tornado strikes a city like
Waco, Texas, where more than 100
people are fatally injured and
more than $50 million in
property is gone in just a few
seconds no longer than it takes
to tell it. There might have
been more injured except for the
hard work of these volunteers
who work day and night to remove
the trash even though their bare
hands to keep the wreckage from
caving in on the people still
trapped down underneath. This is
the first tornado in the history
of Waco. And on the day it
struck the weatherman warned
that it was tornado weather from
Waco all the way to San Angelo
200 miles away. And strangely
enough to separate twisters hit
each of the two cities at about
the same time. And when it
struck at stop the clocks at 440
in the afternoon, it was a rush
hour and there was a big heavy
rainstorm and nobody could hear
nor see that Twister coming in.
Can
you talk to Dan a little bit
about the impact and legacy of
this monster storm monster
Adam Curry: storm?
Unknown: Yeah, it certainly was
waco still stands today is the
deadliest tornado in Texas
history. Going back to the year
1900. It struck at the end of
the workday in downtown Waco.
And so literally there were many
people that were caught off
guard buildings were literally
collapsing on people as they
were still inside. There was
actually an old Indian legend
back then, that pretty much of
some folks that lived in Waco
thought that they were protected
by tornadoes. Because of the
hills and the bluffs that
surrounded the city. Of course,
we know that that Indian legend
proved to be false, but really
the big legacy of the Waco
tornado in that same year, June
of that same year, Texas a&m
held a special tornado warning
conference and it gathered
military officials,
meteorologists, police and fire
in other city officials all
gathered together to discuss
what had happened and they
really formulated a plan that
over the next several years they
implemented and part of that
plan was to basically
disseminate military surplus
radars to cities and communities
throughout the state to
establish the first radar
network in the state of Texas.
It really was a watershed
moment.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. They
didn't blame climate change.
John C Dvorak: If that happened
today, they would the
international
Adam Curry: interplanetary
Climate Change Group of nutjobs
didn't say, oh, yeah, that's
climate change. Well, you're
right, you're right about that.
This is what they would have
done back in 1953. Only this is
2023. We go to EURO NEWS,
Unknown: and the advise more
than 130 UN member states have
voted for the International
Court of Justice to pronounce on
the obligations incumbent on
states to protect the climate to
present and future generations.
That means the world's highest
court will now clarify what
countries must do legally to
defend the environment from
climate harm, but the rest of
the land was non binding,
meaning that there's no need for
any state to abide by it if it
doesn't want to last week, UN
climate experts warned that
global warming will increase by
one and a half degrees by 2030
to 2035, the 2015 Paris
Agreement, which is legally
binding, set the long term goal
to keep warming to two degrees
at the most by the end of this
century.
Adam Curry: Can you believe
that? So they've now invoked the
International Criminal Court?
Oh, you're gonna be criminals,
criminals if you don't keep up.
And like good, good little boys
and girls. Little Rishi over
there in the UK? Oh, yeah, we'll
do it. We're all in we're good.
Unknown: It was going to be the
prime minister's Green Day. In
the end, it was rebranded energy
security day wishes Sunak and
his net zero minister was shown
around a Nuclear Laboratory as
they launched their plan. We're
going
to create jobs across the
country, we're going to increase
our energy security, reduce
people's bills and reduce our
carbon emissions.
The government plan includes a
wide range of measures, they're
launching an insulation scheme
to make 300,000 homes more
energy efficient. There's a plan
to invest around $300 million
dollars in developing green
hydrogen as a fuel, claimed to
be more environmentally
friendly. And there's the
formula establishment of great
British nuclear to promote the
building of new power plants.
Critics point out many proposals
are simply reheated versions of
old announcements. In many
cases, there's no new funding.
For example, the government's
pushing an existing $25 billion
investment in carbon capture and
storage, removing carbon dioxide
produced by burning fossil fuels
and storing it under the North
Sea. Many in the energy sector
are calling for the government
to use subsidies to encourage
investment in clean energy, like
those President Biden's
announced for us first or lose
out on jobs and revenue. We were
there with our thinking many
years ahead of the rest of the
world. But this government has
just desert and delayed and
those business opportunities
that investment will have gone
to the US it will have gone to
the EU because they've also
woken up to the fact that
hydrogen offers this huge
potential
Adam Curry: though everybody is
all in on the green hydrogen
they're going to do with nuclear
apparently but there's no money
there's no money so that's
that's the lip service. The UK
government is giving but the BBC
they really they really took the
cake with their report on the 15
Minute cities now the 15 Minute
cities the first one being
Oxford we know that this is a
climate change mitigation
strategy have everything within
15 minutes walking distance I
believe not even you're laughing
already
John C Dvorak: it well you know
how do you even do this 15
minutes city and then promote
tourism? I mean, the whole thing
is any audit but it's
Adam Curry: a real thing. I
mean, you will agree with me
that these 15 minutes cities are
being
John C Dvorak: told no they
think they got something here
they got a got the answer. Well,
you're wrong.
Adam Curry: This is a conspiracy
theory. It's not even true man.
Unknown: The 15 minutes city for
years it's been a buzzword in
urban planning. But now the
concept has gone mainstream and
become a magnet for protests
around the world from Canada to
the UK, with conspiracy groups
claiming they're designed to
imprison us in our
neighborhoods. Type the term 15
minute city into Tik Tok and it
generates hundreds of videos
using familiar hashtags agenda
2030
Adam Curry: By the way, just a
point of personal privilege.
Notice how they're not looking
at Google. They're searching for
things on tick tock
Unknown: minute city into tick
tock and it generates hundreds
of videos using familiar
hashtags agenda 2030, World
Economic Forum's or BB agenda 20
to suggest the 15 minute goal is
part of a sinister global plot
to limit our freedoms by
enforcing climate MIT lockdowns,
right copers adduction
disinformation reporter has been
tracking the spread and
evolution of this conspiracy,
the 2030
conspiracy theories about this
global agenda where world
leaders met up and are supposed
to have discussed how to use
these environmental concerns to
impose most authoritarian
restrictions on the people
and a 15 minute city is evidence
of that plan being put into
action.
Yeah, and it's a form of
confirmation bias as well 15
minutes any prisons
that's what they're calling them
15 minutes to you in your area
will only be allowed within that
15 minute zone that you have
videos like this one have been
getting hundreds of 1000s of
views but the content doesn't
always tally with reality.
Adam Curry: Don't you love how
they're doing this? They're
twisting it to say oh, people
are calling you to jail or
prison. It's not true. That's
complete horse crap. And they
bring in a Dutch disinformation
journalist. Let's hear more from
what's going on in the
Netherlands.
Unknown: There's evidence here
in the Netherlands where pretty
much the entire country is
already made up of 15 minutes
this is so
Adam Curry: no, no, no, that's
crap. That's not true. Amsterdam
you can get from one side to the
other in 45 minutes.
Unknown: It might just be worth
taking you for a spin on my
bicycle to hear for yourself
what it's like to live and work
in one here we go. So within 15
minutes, four or five kilometers
I can reach my daughter's
Primary School lots of
supermarkets that doctors
pharmacies
Adam Curry: on your bicycle in
the rain all the
Unknown: other everyday
essentials and despite the
people objecting to the 15
Minute idea of saying in order
to get this we'll be forced to
sacrifice our freedom of
movement there's no sign of any
boundaries or restrictions here
yeah, here in the Netherlands
there's very little opposition
and I actually found a cycling
Ambassador believes that's
because everyone already sees
the upside
Adam Curry: very little
opposition Are you kidding me?
There's big groups there's
people protesting about this.
Okay, BBC,
Unknown: I can imagine what it's
like to not live in a 15 minute
city to have to go so far to get
something I think it gives you a
lot of freedom and that's what
we all want
Adam Curry: 15 minutes she's
gives you a lot
John C Dvorak: a lot of give you
more freedom than not being in a
quiet you opposition person
Unknown: gives you a lot of
freedom. And that's what we all
want public
polarization over the 15 minutes
city has highlighted climate
disinformation as a new front
line for cities seeking
innovative solutions to pressing
environmental challenges. That
won't disappear
Do not be an opposition 15
minutes it is our freedom.
restriction is freedom. Fear is
freedom. That is
Adam Curry: unbelievable. It's
just unbelievable. I don't even
know what to say.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think you
said it it said itself. The BBC
is full of crap. I mean they're
just another person a propaganda
outlet that people should be
they should stop paying yet to
pay a fee to watch them.
Adam Curry: I know it's
mandatory if you even own a
television I know I know. Let me
see what do we have?
John C Dvorak: No I got
something from the last show was
going to do that then Well no,
I'm gonna I'm gonna just play
this clip. Drag show law blocked
Unknown: Oh, here it is. Federal
Judge temporarily blocked a
Tennessee law placing strict
limits on drag shows just hours
before it was set to go into
effect. The first of its kind
law bans adult cabaret
entertainment on public property
or in locations where it could
be viewed by a minor the judge
sided with a Memphis LGBTQ
theater groups argument that the
statutes overly broad language
violates the First Amendment
Adam Curry: really now so you're
really pushing
John C Dvorak: this this these
drags are distractions is the
show up out of the blue that
drags show library time with the
little kids and all the rest and
track time story hour dragged
drag time story hour. It's like
what is it what is the point of
this? It was really important
why are they why is it they're
making this a hill to stand down
there they are gonna fight to
the death.
Adam Curry: Well, that's I think
that's the point. The point is
to have fights and to have death
that that I think is the point.
As we discussed on the last
show, Black Lives Matter trans
is the New Black Lives Matter so
you know, drag is trans. The
Bill Maher show real time was
very interesting. Besides having
Governor Sununu on who clearly
is going to run but was saying
he was in whatever fine. Bill
Maher he had on it A guy who
wrote a book about he's gay guy,
and I'm not quite sure he was
clearly a leftist. But then he
also had at the same time on the
panel, lieutenant governor from
Virginia, winsome Earl Sears,
the Jamaican lady who famously
took a picture with her and with
an AR 15. She was a Marine. So,
you know, so she's pro gun. I
only have a very short clip,
just kind of explain what
happened because I tried to clip
it. But you know, I was
literally playing the YouTube
video, which had the Bill Maher
real time full version. And as
I'm playing, it went, went away.
And the set of Warner Brothers
has removed this mic. Okay. So I
couldn't clip it. I didn't have
time to
John C Dvorak: you. Are you
watching it as at the moment
they removed it,
Adam Curry: it was amazing. And
when they just stopped as I was
playing it this morning, and
that was it. I couldn't I didn't
have any any clip of this. So
the first thing I'd say is, this
guy is you know, very much, you
know, very, very leftist kind of
guy that we're talking about
Trump and all that Bill Maher
has, he has such a stick up his
ass about Trump and he was so
happy about you know, just like
the MSNBC people. But then this
guy's when it came to LGBTQ Bill
Maher said, so this, this really
doesn't work this LGBTQ as you
know, I've said forever that
there's no such community as the
LGBTQ community is bullcrap. And
this guy said, yeah, and he was
very interesting for this show,
typically more left than
anything for him to say, Yeah,
you know, these, these little
boys who are playing with girl a
girl stuff and girl toys and
dresses. Typically, they might
grow up to be gay. But no,
there's this whole mechanism
that jumps in and says, no, no,
you are you, you're supposed to
be a girl, and vice versa for
girls and boys. And so that was
very interesting that that came
up. But then that conversation
moved towards the Tennessee
School shooting, and about you
know, how it was trans against
Christians. And then Bill Maher
and of course, what happened in
this conversation is well, you
know, we have too many guns, the
wrong people have guns, we have
to we have to have some common
sense gun laws. And I don't have
all the pieces of that clip that
I wanted to but I'll be able to
explain after I play this so
this is Bill Maher talking about
guns and you're never in his
favorite topic. You're
Unknown: gonna get rid of the
400 million guns in this country
whether you want to or not, it's
possible we sparked a civil war
if you tried to kick confiscate
them all. So what I think is
gonna happen bad people
will always
get guns, always. That's the
thing because you know what,
they're not giving up their
guns. They're the bad the bad
people. Just like a drug. We
have a war on drugs. We can't
get rid of them still coming
across the border. Well, thank
God for that. But
Adam Curry: so the piece that I
want to get was he says I have
guns. I don't like guns, but I
have guns. I have guns because I
need to protect myself because
other people have guns. I have
guns. Then he goes on for like
10 minutes about how much he
loves weed. He smokes weed, and
only bad people should have
guns. I just want to point out
Bill Maher that when it comes to
background checks, even in
California, even though Lee weed
is legal. There's a question on
your on your form when you're
purchasing a gun it says do you
currently smoke marijuana use
cocaine etc. It's a federal
questionnaire, then you can't
lie on that. Just like Hunter
Biden. So for him to publicly be
saying you know only bad people
you should not get guns we need
to we need to catch them. I
don't think it's a good idea to
have a pothead owning guns. And
someone should should bring him
to account over that.
Unknown: I agree with you.
Adam Curry: It's illegal. I
mean, I'm not gonna say that I
was necessarily honest in my
previous life. But come on, I
mean, only the people you deem
to be the wrong people, which
would probably be Republicans or
Trump errs or Magga whatever.
John C Dvorak: It Well that
brings me to a clip I have said
to have noted a few weeks before
the before the shooter the crazy
shooter in Tennessee Nashville,
and this is check Ugur going on
and on about guns and who should
have them and who shouldn't
Unknown: I be a little bit of a
hypocrite here but it's not I'll
explain why I'm saying I don't
like guns. I would ban assault
weapons in a second. I we can go
on and on about the gun control
that we need in this country.
And I always tell people don't
get guns, it'll make you less
safe. I'm gonna make an
exception here. For trans
people. They are actually in
danger. They have had hundreds
of laws passed against them.
They have right wing media
ginning up fear against them.
I'm 24/7 They are targeted more
than any other group in America.
And if anyone should get guns,
it should be trans Americans.
Okay? Because I'm worried for
them. I'm worried that the right
wing lunatics are going to
attack them as they have over
and over again. And by the way,
scientists right wing lunatics,
other people attack trans
folks as well.
Adam Curry: Like gay guys. Wow.
The number one fastest growing
group of gun owners and the
idea.
John C Dvorak: Trans black
women. Oh, no, I knew this. I
knew this. Yep. This came up in
the conversation. I actually had
a clip some time back. Yeah,
black women they're buying. They
love guns. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And then they need
them. And so to say the people
harassed what happened to Black
Lives Matter, bro. What happened
that just disappeared all of a
sudden. Now, this is pretty
blatant. And I think this is it?
Well, I want
John C Dvorak: to make make, say
one thing about that. Okay. This
Marxist who put together Black
Lives Matter, these women? Yeah,
who stole the money of stole the
money all walked away with a
shit ton of money, bought some,
some nice houses and cars into
it. And they kind of retired.
And it turns out that in a lot
of these movements, if if your
main guy, you know, the guy was,
you know, shaking his fist and
up there, and he's making a
stink and making get into
publicity, and getting on the
shows, and doing that and
talking to talk, when you retire
from that gig, the whole thing
collapses. And I think that's
what happened.
Adam Curry: Totally total
collapse. And isn't it
interesting how no one cares,
and people don't even see what's
happening. They don't even see
the Black Lives Matter has been
complete. Now. I was talking to
moe. And, and being at least
like how it was just bitching
and moaning about you know,
about work, you know, he he got
the platform. He said to me, in
May when they when the CDC when
I'm when the President makes a
decision about the COVID
emergency? What will actually
change and say, well, that's a
good question. I don't really
know that as far as what's
important to me is that my
daughter and her fiance can then
come and visit me because if he
needs vaccinated Christina as
American passport, but he
doesn't, and that is supposed to
change. And he said, Well, what
will companies do? Will Will
companies then also no longer
require it? And I said, I don't
know. It's probably not you
know, the probably a lot of them
will keep that in place. You
know, the woke companies I said,
but now you have a benefit. I
said, you know, white men in
America can't get a job anymore.
And he said, and I said you're
black man in Mexico. No, no, no,
no, wrong gender, bro. Wrong
gender, gender, and then
synonymous of Dogpatch. He
reached out and said no, no,
it's more about old it's more
about ageism, which he says he
is standing on I don't know. But
the whole thing there should be
no no difference between Person
A or Person B about who gets
hired. That train seems to have
left the station though.
Unknown: To no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do
that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
John C Dvorak: well, we're gonna

meetups.com quick report here
from Sir Brian with a why
reporting indices were the
Aurora Illinois meetup great
meetup we had 15 People at its
height three nights one Dame
three dudes named Ben Ben, you
worked out pretty well be on the
lookout for another one. And the
Point Mugu air show March 18.
This is I think the Leo Bravo
meet up. Man it was it was quite
torturous to get to the Point
Mugu air show in Ventura,
California traffic was wonderful
until we got to the off ramp, a
torturous seven mile drive from
the freeway to the exit to the
parking stalls. He was still
making his way to the venue and
another no agenda listener
inquired about where they were
meeting up. So it did finally
end up working out they ended up
at the grassy knoll area right
behind the announcer's booth.
Imagine my surprise when fellow
na listener John C appears out
of nowhere. This could not have
been you, John, not John C.
Dvorak. This must have been
another Jhansi. He loved the air
show will conclude that night
with a live concert by Gary
Sinise and his band, John, his
wife and I really enjoyed the
concert. We even had a conga
line, okay pictures or didn't
John C Dvorak: do that.
Adam Curry: Thank you very much
for your Bravo. We do have a
quick meet up report here from
Conway, South Carolina. Meet Up
All right.
Unknown: This is Sir Joe. We're
at the last minute Rusty's
house. Meet up having a great
time here at the meetup. Kids

rusty jones. It's been a good
meetup
overall. Joe's here. Just
checking out human resources.
Right right, right on the
computer citizen. Yes, ASA. We
need any more sound
and people on this in the
morning Adam and John. This is a
Hawaiian cowboy relaxing over at
Rusty's house, enjoying some
Cuban cigars and eating fistfuls
of peanuts. Thank you for your
courage and resist very much.
Adam Curry: Make sure you're
fishing those properly today.
What? What? I thought you said
something.
John C Dvorak: I said nothing.
Adam Curry: Oh, today they're
received the EU in the morning.
Not a joke meet up probably
concluded by now. Was it? Urban
360 Peace Albuquerque New
Mexico. That is of course sir
Jeff to Hague, who organized
that I'm sure he'll send in a
meet up report after that is
done and also has to do I think
was the WA W we a Eastern Bloc
meetup that took place in Warsaw
at the long bar in Warsaw. Maza
Wiki mazowieckie Poland. Bob
Barker just sounds so phony,
doesn't it? He apparently
organized that I'm pretty sure
Well, no, actually, it's
probably just about starting and
we think or it might just be
underway. So we look forward to
a meet up report from that. You
got to know agenda meet ups are
calm. You'll see that we have a
lot of meetups for the month of
April a lot in America, of
course, but also mines, Germany,
Zurich, Switzerland, I see cars
Hoval north, but I bombed the
Netherlands Budapest, in
Hungary, Toronto, Ontario, and
there's a lot of these things
taking place around the world.
You need to be a part of this
community because you already
are in the community. It's your
no agenda community, you may
think is weird. I don't know
anybody believe me. You will
have a great time you will
immediately connect the keyboard

Baron Scott will send a meetup
report about that. Please check

John C Dvorak: Like I have a
note here from Dame atomic
ginger.
Adam Curry: What does she have
to say?
John C Dvorak: Blush? I'm sure
she's a redhead. You're sending
you some genuine Roswell, New
Mexico tourist junk. Oh, so she
sent me a small care package.
Nice. Which really junk is the
right word. As an insider who
now lives in Lubbock, I will let
you know that this town.
Roswell, New Mexico is rough.
It's gangsters and meth heads
mixed with lovely normal people
like any small town 45,000
There's nothing to do here. New
Mexico Military Institute was
used in the movie The Men Who
Stare at Goats. Ah, the school
is 120 plus years old and is the
only thing keeping the whole
keeping the town alive. It in
the crazy alien convention every
July. People always ask if I've
seen any aliens and I would just
respond only the illegals thank
you for your courage shout out
to Lucas
Adam Curry: that place sounds a
bit like noster which is
basically just just a Twitter on
meth.
John C Dvorak: Just sounds like
another one of these towns.
Useless
Adam Curry: ISOs I only have
one. So I got three. Oh, well.
Why don't you do your three and
then I'll play my one. All
right.
Unknown: My my sheet
John C Dvorak: okay, I've got
infinity which one might be the
best let's do let's do this
after if too soon. This is the
end of the show. Now you gonna
play did what?
Adam Curry: Did what? Okay, all
right.
John C Dvorak: Okay, then we got
Mussolini.
Unknown: Which was Mussolini
slogan initially. No.
Adam Curry: Too long. Should he
quality? No, mouse.
Don't mess with the mouse. Dude,
what is better so far, but check
mine out.
John C Dvorak: 69 What?
Unknown: 69
Adam Curry: just Trump do I even
know where it's from?
John C Dvorak: 69 That's Trump.
Yeah. Okay,
Adam Curry: I guess that's not
going to be it then. Hmm.
John C Dvorak: Well, if it were
in the show. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Did what is better?
We'll use did what? Yeah, no,
I'm all in. I'm all in. Was I
have a quick I got more from
Elizabeth Warren since she was
so dynamite before on Tik Tok.
Just okay.
Unknown: Yeah, sure. Senator, we
want to get your thoughts on a
topic that we've covered quite a
bit here on the show. And that's
the banning of tick tock. Some
progressive lawmakers have said
that this wouldn't actually
address the issue of data
privacy,
John C Dvorak: free play what
she has to say. I want to
mention, say some things I want
to say. So I'm assuming she is
for the free and open internet
which allows democracies to
flourish,
Unknown: let's find out has said
that this wouldn't actually
address the issue of data
privacy. Have you seen evidence
of tic toc being a threat to our
national security? So
I look at this a little
differently. I think the
question of privacy of our data,
through social media through
just tracking us on our phones,
is something that we should be
very proud of cerned about, but
it's not enough just to say this
is a tick tock only problem.
This is a problem all the way
across in terms of the data that
are being collected. Because are
we casting a wide enough? I want
that we are not casting a wide
enough net. I want to see a
wider net on the privacy issues.
I also think on the question of
China, because it is different
with China here. But China has
other things got apps out there.
They've got social media,
they've got other pieces of apps
Adam Curry: out there. She's all
in man. She's all in on on
taking it all down having
complete power, complete power.
Here's a second clip.
Unknown: So American tech
companies
can sell data so shoot bang,
bang,
Adam Curry: bang out, here's
your here's your What am I an
idiot
Unknown: companies can sell data
so stupid. He talked over tick
tock not be bad.
Yeah. So the way I see it is if
we're going to look into the
question of data privacy, and we
should, I've got some very
serious concerns about this. We
need to cast a broad enough net
we cannot pretend that if we can
focus in on one company that
we're all done and have fixed.
Adam Curry: She wants to total
control. She wants it all she
wants to full on tick tock bill,
which of course is not the Tick
Tock bill. That's what she
wants. She's all in she's all in
on it. Which is Senate Bill Two,
she probably she's looking for
some money. Payment people day
me
John C Dvorak: that you know it.
You know, that's the whole
thing. They're all looking for
money. She took
Adam Curry: so much money from
Bose and other companies to get
that Bogut of hearing aid over
the counter hearing aid bill
pass. She's looking for money.
Oh, you don't want us to do
that. You don't want that. Oh,
okay. Maybe give me some money.
She is the worst. Worst.
John C Dvorak: Well, if you want
to wrap things I can just play
this. I think good news. Pope
Francis is still kicking play
this clip.
Unknown: And Pope Francis has
left the hospital today after
being treated for bronchitis but
not before eating some pizza
baptizing a baby in the
children's ward and signing a
boys cast. Asked by journalist
how he's feeling he said I'm
still alive.
Adam Curry: He's a goner. When
you when you're out there and
you're you're signing casts is
respiratory issues. I wished
Yeah, I wish him no ill Of
course. Of course. Yeah. Of
course. Coming up next, I know
