Adam Curry
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak and Sunday, May 25, 2025. This is your award winning Gibbonation Media Assassination Episode 1767. This is no agenda, nothing but the best of the best. And broadcasting kind of live from the heart of the Texas Hill country. FEMA region number six in the morning everybody.
John C. Dvorak
I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley. We want to wish everybody a happy Memorial Day. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry
It's crackpot and buzzkill. In a rare, rare moment where we celebrate a holiday. Yeah, I don't think has that. No, I don't think that has ever had we ever celebrated. I mean not that we're celebrating.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, Thanksgiving 2017.
Adam Curry
Oh, you know exactly when it was, don't you? Really? We took off Thanksgiving that year.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, that's when I was in England.
Adam Curry
Oh, so we had an. Oh, that's right. And you haven't left the house since.
John C. Dvorak
I don't think I have been here. Boarded up.
Adam Curry
It's the last time. Well, I am technically, although you hear the sound of my voice. I'm in Nashville right now visiting for the weekend which was long planned. And we are very fortunate that we have some of the best producers in the universe, including Gus Raya. In fact, I'll just read his note. He says, hey, I heard your call for a best of show. This was like a year ago. A year ago I started working on a clip of the day compilation. It kind of worked out.
John C. Dvorak
Great idea, by the way.
Adam Curry
Well, so he. This is a full show and it's only clip of the days from 2023 and the first half of 2024. And I didn't know we did that many clips of the day back then. Did you?
Unknown Speaker
We.
John C. Dvorak
I think we did more clips of the day before in the like in the year two year, just earlier.
Adam Curry
I mean it's incredible how many. And of course they're all.
John C. Dvorak
But we only do one. My experience is that we do. We've sometimes done two a day to a show but generally speaking it's about every third show. So probably since we do what, a hundred shows or so? We probably do 30. 30 a year, but sometimes maybe 35.
Adam Curry
Well, of course the great thing about a show with the best of the. Well, just the clip of the day compilation is because they're the best clips. That's the beauty of it. Nothing.
John C. Dvorak
Most of the clips of the day are dynamite clips.
Adam Curry
Which one? I don't think we've ever given each. I mean borderliners, but even the borderliners are good. So it's.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, the borderliners are good, too.
Adam Curry
You just. You can't lose with this combination.
John C. Dvorak
So, no, this is the best, most spectacular of all the compilation shows.
Adam Curry
It is, it is. And we're going to be enjoying it during this Memorial Day weekend. We hope you enjoy it as well. We come back about halfway through. Thanks again to our executive producer, Gus Raya. And let's go with the no Agenda compilation Best of clip of the day. Fact, Chuck. I have this very short ditty from Jane Fonda, who doesn't know her, who has not loved her in the past, although, you know, Hanoi Jayan was not very popular, but, you know, we all saw Barbarella and at least I did. I've always wanted to really like Jane Fonda. It's becoming increasingly difficult.
Unknown Speaker
You can take anything, sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, what, into the war. And if you really get into it and study it and learn about it and the history of it, and then everything's connected. There'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism.
Adam Curry
I mean, come on. I mean.
John C. Dvorak
Wow. Okay. No, you know.
Adam Curry
No, no, really. Oh, come on, man.
John C. Dvorak
You might as well take it.
Adam Curry
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
John C. Dvorak
You knew it was a. I didn't.
Adam Curry
You know, only when I heard it just now did I know it was. It was worthy. But I would have accepted a borderline. Honestly, I would have taken a borderline from it.
John C. Dvorak
It was too funny because it's so. I think I'm trying to now. You have to think, just take a moment and deconstruct what clip of the day amounts to.
Adam Curry
Okay. Take a moment.
John C. Dvorak
For one thing, it's always a surprise. Yes. To the other person who's anointing the clip of the day. Either you or me.
Adam Curry
Yes. An anointing.
John C. Dvorak
And it's always idiotic and stupid at some. That's incomprehensible.
Adam Curry
Yeah, it's true. I really don't. I mean, she also said war. I mean, the war. Everything, everything is. Is racism. Everything is racism. But back when MSNBC started, I think this was 20 2005, RFK Jr came out with this whole thing talking, and he was connecting autism to the vaccines to thimerosal. And it was. And here's gotta, gotta play. This was on no Agenda Social. I love that someone dug this clip up. This is Chuck Scarborough, who I'm sure is calling RFK Jr. A nut job anti vaxxer today. In fact, I could probably just drop a needle in any YouTube clip and find him Saying that back then. No. Oh, it's Bobby. How you doing? The kids are dying. What's going on?
John C. Dvorak
It's as heart wrenching as it gets. Autism and children, six out of every thousand kids get it. And nobody knows exactly why. But my next guest says he's got.
Unknown Speaker
Part of the blame that he.
John C. Dvorak
That he thinks needs to fall on government and it has to do with a drug called thimerosal. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Attorney for the what he called it a drug.
Adam Curry
Oh, yeah. It's so incredible. What the difference between then and now.
John C. Dvorak
The natural resources defense counsel. He's author of Deadly Immunity in the current issue of Rolling Stone. It's an investigation of the connection between thimerosal and autism in young kids.
Unknown Speaker
Hey, Bobby, thanks a lot.
John C. Dvorak
And of course, you also have a great new book.
Unknown Speaker
Tell us briefly about that.
Adam Curry
First of all, let me say that the Deadly immunity piece on thimerosal is also running on salon.com simultaneously, the two magazines. By the way, this piece ran on Salon, Rolling Stone, et cetera. They pulled it. They pulled it within a day from all of those publications. You cannot find. You can't even find it on arXiv.org, it's so bad. They pulled this.
John C. Dvorak
There are a lot of people out. When I was practicing law, in fact.
Unknown Speaker
I need to say this.
John C. Dvorak
We actually practice in the same law firm. No lawsuits regarding.
Adam Curry
Who even knew that. Chuck Scarborough and RFK Jr. In the same law firm. This is an incredible piece of history.
John C. Dvorak
Amirasol. So we can get that off the record. But still, there are a lot of.
Unknown Speaker
People, a lot of Americans very concerned about the impact of this drug which.
John C. Dvorak
Is found in vaccines and how it causes autism.
Adam Curry
It's mercury. It's not a drug. It's mercury.
John C. Dvorak
Well, wait, it's a preservative that contains mercury.
Adam Curry
Correct.
John C. Dvorak
In vaccines and how it causes autism.
Unknown Speaker
Talk about that.
Adam Curry
Thimerosal is a preservative that was put in vaccines back in the 1930s. Almost immediately after it was put in, autism cases began to appear. Autism had never been known before. It was unknown to science. Then the vaccines were increased in 1989 by the CDC and by a couple of other government agencies.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, let me stop here.
John C. Dvorak
That's an important date, and I'll tell you why. My son, born in 1990, 1991, has a slight form of autism called Asperger's. But it seemed. And again, when I was practicing law and also when I was in Congress.
Unknown Speaker
Parents would constantly come to me and they'd bring me Videotapes of their children.
John C. Dvorak
And they were all around the age.
Unknown Speaker
Of my son or younger generation.
John C. Dvorak
Happened in 1989.
Adam Curry
Exactly the generation. What happened was the vaccine schedule was increased. We went up from receiving about 10 vaccines in our generation to these kids received 24 vaccines. And they all had this thimerosal in them, this mercury. And nobody bothered to do an analysis of what the cumulative impact of all that mercury was doing to kids. As it turns out, we are injecting our children with 400 times the amount of mercury that FDA or EPA considers safe. A child on his first day that he's born is injected with a hepatitis b shot. Under EPA guidelines, he would have to be 275 pounds to safely absorb that shot.
John C. Dvorak
And yet we're just constantly pumping our.
Adam Curry
Kids with these vaccines. What happened was that in 1988, one in every 2,500American children had autism. Today, one in every 166 children have autism. And plus one in six children have other kinds of learning disorders, other kinds of neurological disorders, speech delay, language disorders, add, hyperactivity. That all. All seem to be connected. That are all connected. Yeah. So that goes on and on and on. It's like a 10 minute piece. It's unbelievable. Particularly for Chuck Scarborough. His own kid was injured by these things. But, oh no, now Bobby. Oh, he's an anti vaxxer. He's a crazy man. He's nuts.
John C. Dvorak
He's lunatic.
Adam Curry
He's Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes. That's how powerful Big Pharma is. And what. And it's a part of that piece that got.
John C. Dvorak
By the way, we should give you a borderline clip on that. Even though it's.
Adam Curry
It's from the troll Road, the no Agenda Social.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Adam Curry
Now that's for the. The producer who posted it in no Agenda Social. That was, it was a.
John C. Dvorak
He apparently very good find.
Adam Curry
He posted it on Twitter and he got put in Twitter jail for a little bit for posting that.
John C. Dvorak
For posting that clip.
Adam Curry
That clip. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
All they did. That's just a clip that exists in. That's a real clip.
Adam Curry
Real clip, yeah. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
We can't get put in Twitter jail because you posted a real clip.
Adam Curry
According to the. To our producer, yes.
John C. Dvorak
And so I believe it.
Adam Curry
That contained a transcript of a hidden recording of the Samson Wood Conference where all the. A whole bunch of doctors and pharmaceutical executives and doctors and researchers, along with HMOs, they all got together and they all said, yeah, crap, this stuff is crossing the blood brain barrier and it's causing autism. It's in the transcript you can read it and you know, so I was able to get that, I put that in the show notes. So this is not like, it's not an unknown thing. But over time Big Pharma just took over, just advertised you to death with it.
Unknown Speaker
One step closer to China, one step away from Europe. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Chinese Premier.
John C. Dvorak
Li Qiang on Tuesday agreed to support free trade after intergovernmental talks in Berlin.
Unknown Speaker
SHOLZ has come under fire for the talks, which critics say are not appropriate anymore given growing geopolitical tensions between the west and China. A German intelligence agency published warning in.
John C. Dvorak
A report on Tuesday. The report says China is aiming to obtain German technology to bolster its military.
Unknown Speaker
It also highlights the risk of cyber spying operations.
John C. Dvorak
Despite that, the German chancellor defended his position on the two countries relationship.
Unknown Speaker
Author and historian Philippe Fabry said Germany's.
John C. Dvorak
Tough spot comes from the country's economic choices.
Unknown Speaker
A large part of China's industrialization has been achieved through the purchase of German machine tools, which is the biggest export sector for the German economy. So naturally exporting those is vital for Germany. This conditions Germany's relationship with China and puts it at odds with the interests of many other Western countries, notably the United States. The German chancellor's position doesn't come as a surprise though.
John C. Dvorak
When visiting China in November 2022, Scholz promoted partnership with the country and in May he confirmed a deal to allow a Chinese shipping company to take a minority stake in a container terminal at Hamburg port.
Unknown Speaker
Fabry says these moves from Germany make it more and more isolated from other EU countries. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, there has been a loss of German influence in.
Adam Curry
That's because of a whole host of.
Unknown Speaker
German strategies and in particular Germany's dependence on Russian gas, which has brought some form of discredit.
Adam Curry
Okay, I love this good clip. Here's what I think is happening. I know you have a second one. I'll just give you my unsolicited feedback. Germany got screwed. They've been, they've been screwed over by being hypnotized into believing it was a good idea to get rid of their nuclear. Get rid of all. I mean they were the powerhouse house of Europe. They say Germany, if Germany sneezes, the rest of Europe gets that gets the flu and that's no longer the case. So they got completely psyoped and getting rid of all of that. They have no industry. Then we, we blew up the pipeline. So they have no gas, they have nothing, nothing to do. And now they're going to become part of the belt and roads scenario for China and they will become the adversary in Europe. How does that sound?
John C. Dvorak
Right on.
Adam Curry
Right on, man, right on. Nailed it.
John C. Dvorak
Right on.
Adam Curry
Groovy, baby.
John C. Dvorak
Here's part two, case in point.
Unknown Speaker
On the same day as Germany's announcement.
John C. Dvorak
The EU published an economic security plan. It seeks to convince the bloc's 27.
Unknown Speaker
States to agree stronger control on exports. It's particularly focused on technologies that could be put to military use by rivals like China. I think we're seeing a power struggle as the EU pledges to harden its relationship with China, which is also hoped for by the US camp who are determined to have the Europeans on their side in the strategic confrontation against China.
Adam Curry
Wow, that's. You know what, even though it's late in the day, I think, I think that that deserves it out of left field.
John C. Dvorak
Yep, big deal.
Adam Curry
Belt and road to China and they're going to have the shipping come right up onto the. Oh man. Wow.
John C. Dvorak
That's a crack in the EU dam right there.
Adam Curry
Nobody. They won't know what to do. They won't know what to do. I wonder if they even see it. Stupid morons.
John C. Dvorak
Well, let's just listen to the first clip and then I'll explain who this guy is. This Ukraine analysis Shahid1 let me talk.
Adam Curry
For a moment about Poland in relation.
Unknown Speaker
To the US proxy war against Europe.
Adam Curry
Popularly known as the Ukraine war. As I have stated since the outbreak of the war, in my opinion, the Ukraine war is a US proxy war not against Russia, but against Europe. It is the launch pad for a.
Unknown Speaker
Continent wide destabilization project that will create.
Adam Curry
Conflict zone conditions across Europe. It will divide the EU against itself.
Unknown Speaker
It will deindustrialize the continent and turn.
Adam Curry
It into another laboratory for the imposition of severe neoliberal austerity policies that will wipe out all except the largest private sector players and basically refutilize Europe. Now Poland appears to have been selected by the United States to act as.
Unknown Speaker
Their hub of operations for implementing this program.
Adam Curry
But before I get into that, let's.
Unknown Speaker
Go back to one of the earliest examples of this type of project.
Adam Curry
The Dirty wars in Central and South.
Unknown Speaker
America in the 1980s.
Adam Curry
When I was growing up, I was always interested in the news and current affairs and world events and so on. And the evening news every night was dominated by stories of savagery in places like Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Argentina. Civil wars, death squads, abductions, torture and all forms of brutality proliferated the entire region. Now all of this was orchestrated out of the American Embassy in Honduras, under the management of then U.S. ambassador John Negroponte, whom locals referred to as Mr. Death Squad. Honduras had the largest U.S. embassy, it had the biggest CIA station.
Unknown Speaker
And the country became the staging ground.
Adam Curry
For a regional destabilization project that continued throughout the 1980s. Wow. Okay, all right, hold on, hold on. I'm just going to give it to you up front because I know what's going to happen here. I could just give it to you right up front. This is dynamite. This, of course, it's so obvious now. This is a complete destabilization of Europe and we're going to squash them like a bug. Like a bug under a bomb.
John C. Dvorak
That's the eu, as our friend Newland said.
Adam Curry
Oh, goodness.
John C. Dvorak
If we go back to that and we listen to this clip and we listen to the fdeu, we start to understand what might actually be going on. So it goes on and on. Ann Arbor, there's a bunch of connections. There's a very interesting article, if anyone can find it, it's in the weekly blitz.net a backgrounder on this guy. And the guy is extremely suspicious and he's, he's really good at analysis. So let's go to part two of his clips.
Adam Curry
When John Negroponte was appointed the US Ambassador to Iraq shortly after the invasion and occupation, I fully anticipated that he would pursue the same sort of destabilization project throughout the Middle East. Now, Negroponte had a protege named Robert Stephen Ford, who was appointed the US.
Unknown Speaker
Ambassador to Syria at that time.
Adam Curry
And he immediately began trying to foment rebellion and opposition and resistance and recruiting militia groups until he was eventually kicked.
Unknown Speaker
Out of the country.
Adam Curry
I think we're all aware of what happened a few short years later in the Arab world with the Arab Spring.
Unknown Speaker
And we're all aware also, I think.
Adam Curry
Of the role played by CIA backed organizations in that disruptive movement. And I think we're also all aware of the role played by the CIA in backing armed groups in the civil war in Syria. In fact, during the Arab Spring, the United States tried to appoint Robert Stephen Ford after he'd been kicked out of Syria.
Unknown Speaker
They tried to appoint him as the.
Adam Curry
US Ambassador to Egypt, but fortunately his.
Unknown Speaker
Reputation and the reputation of John Negravarte.
Adam Curry
Preceded them and popular opposition to that appointment forced the US to scrap the idea. So the point here is that there is a pattern and once you are.
Unknown Speaker
Familiar with the pattern, you can recognize.
Adam Curry
It and you can sort of abstractly predict the way it's going to play out.
Unknown Speaker
If not Specifically?
Adam Curry
Well, in the current scenario, in my opinion, Poland is Honduras. Near the beginning of the war in Ukraine, I noticed the role being played by Poland as a destination for refugees and as a source for mercenaries to go and fight in Ukraine.
Unknown Speaker
So I decided to check.
Adam Curry
Who is the US Ambassador to Poland right now? Well, the US Ambassador to Poland right now is not Robert Stephen Ford, and it's not John Negroponte or any of their known proteges. The current U.S. ambassador to Poland is the son of one of the most notorious policy advisors in recent US history, Zbigniew Brzezinski. And I'm not going to make any.
Unknown Speaker
Effort to say his name correctly.
Adam Curry
Brzezinski, who was Polish, was the architect.
Unknown Speaker
Of US support for the Mujahideen in.
Adam Curry
Afghanistan against the Soviet Union. And he was a staunch and paranoid anti Russian zealot. Wait a minute. It is. It's Mark Brzezinski. Oh, man. How. How did we miss. Did we miss this? Did we know this?
John C. Dvorak
I think we may have noticed it some time back.
Adam Curry
What?
John C. Dvorak
Well, since we're talking about Bunk. Bunk, we might as well do the hit job that on the media did to poor Bobby the K. Okay, yeah.
Adam Curry
Let'S do the Bobby the K hit job. Alrighty.
John C. Dvorak
Now, everything about this is slanted and it's assumed. And I have to assume. I have to assume that they're sincere. They think Bobby the k. Robert Kennedy Jr. Is nuts. He's a conspiracy theory adrenoc. He uses techniques to fool you. He's a liar. So let's go.
Adam Curry
And even his family hates him.
John C. Dvorak
Oh yeah. And we can't forget that his family hates him because he's so off the rails. And by the way, the conclusion is I'll get muzzle summarize that it's only for his legacies doing this so people remember he existed. That's such a loser.
Adam Curry
It's like a Trump thing. He's doing that just. Just to. Just for his own ego. Is that. Is that what they're saying?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
Yeah. Oh, nice.
Unknown Speaker
Kennedy's.
John C. Dvorak
Here we go. On the media.
Adam Curry
On the media.
Unknown Speaker
He also has an incredibly combative and often litigious relationship with both mainstream media and sort of mainstream media systems of government. He wants to persuade people who think they're Democrats that they're not Democrats and people who think they're Republicans that they're not Republicans is how he put it to Dr. Drew. So he's presenting himself as kind of a nonpartisan everyman who is equally dissatisfied with both sides. So let's talk about how journalists and media outlets are handling this candidacy. You wrote that ABC and CNN demonstrated how not. Not to cover RFK Jr. Yeah.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
What did they do wrong?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
So this was a very kind of early.
Adam Curry
Oh, well, let me just.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, I know this side.
Adam Curry
Oh my God. We should just rename him Bobby the Q. I don't know why we even talk about this, man.
Unknown Speaker
Adrenochrome FK Jr yeah. What did they do wrong? So this was a very kind of early example of media platforms just not really being ready to cover Kennedy's candidacy. So what ABC did was they sat down for a fairly conventional candidate interview with Kennedy, but during it, he did what he does, which is he started spouting Covid and vaccine misinformation. And so ABC made the decision to just cut that portion from the interview and then tell their audience that that's what they were doing.
Adam Curry
It was just like vomit just spouting from his mouth, from his orifice. About vaccine disinformation.
Unknown Speaker
We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID 19 vaccines. Data shows that the COVID 19 vaccines prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease. He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism research. I think that it was a well intentioned decision, but what it did was it gave Kennedy an incredibly powerful talking point to say, you see, my views on Covid and vaccines are so powerful and so threatening to the establishment that they cannot see the light of day.
Adam Curry
Happens when you censor somebody for 18 years. They shouldn't have shut me up that long because now I'm going to really.
Unknown Speaker
Let loose on them for the next 18 months.
Adam Curry
They're going to hear a lot from me. Oh, let me guess. Next question. So, Becky, Becca. So what do we do with a candidate like Bobby the Bobby the Q. What do we do, Becca?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, actually she. She's got the second example first and then it falls apart. You're right. That is kind of.
Unknown Speaker
Coming up, CNN was a little bit more unusual. Essentially what happened is that a CNN political journalist named Michael Smerconish had Kennedy on and managed to use the word vaccines exactly once in his introduction and then proceeded to have a very friendly, jocular interview with Mr. Kennedy about his campaign that managed to not ask about his anti vaccine activism at all. They spent more time talking about Mr. Smokonish's fandom of Cheryl Hines, Mr. Kennedy's wife.
Adam Curry
If I had not conv. That I can win this race, I would not be in it because she's the ultimate boss. Okay, listen, I do love your wife.
Unknown Speaker
I'm Team Cheryl, having said that. So it was really, really striking. So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong. How can we do things right?
Adam Curry
What's this with the. With wrong. What's that with the g. Guttural. G Wrong. I heard it before. This is new.
John C. Dvorak
I didn't notice this.
Adam Curry
What? That's what journalists do wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Unknown Speaker
It was really, really striking. So, okay, that's. Journalists do wrong.
Adam Curry
Wrong. Yeah, Wrong, wrong.
John C. Dvorak
I heard it in the first day. Yes, it's wrong. Wrong.
Adam Curry
What are you. I'm doing it wrong. Said that wrong.
Unknown Speaker
So it was really, really striking. So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong. How can we do things right? Right? I mean, oh, man.
John C. Dvorak
This is.
Adam Curry
This is npr. I mean, if this was a podcast, I'd throw it out of the index. That's so bad. Said that.
Unknown Speaker
So it was really, really striking. So, okay, that's what journalists do wrong. How can we. Right. I mean, the first, of course, is we absolutely cannot go into arguably any interview unprepared, but especially with someone who has spent.
Adam Curry
I'm just stopping this right now. I'm just stopping it right now. This is so dynamite. This is the truth. You got two clips of the day.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, I'm on a roll.
Adam Curry
I mean, the fact that this is being broadcast on something called broadcast on npr and they're proud of it, public radio, it's. You know what this is, is this is wrong.
Unknown Speaker
Arguably, any interview unprepared, but especially with someone who has spent the better portion of the later part of their adult life promoting and advancing false claims about one thing specifically and is very, very, very trained in how to do that. The second is to be prepared to push back in real time. And the third, I think, is sort of a broader existential question, which is ask yourself what the purpose of interviewing him is like at its base, what you are hoping to convey to readers and listeners the sort of unanswered questions that, you know, an interview might go towards answering. Well, let's talk about that. Fact checking in real time. It's very hard. Yes, it is. Mr. Kennedy does something that is a kind of known rhetorical style that other folks do, too, which is called this sort of Gish Gallop. Is the term for it named after. Whoa.
Adam Curry
Gish Gallop?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Gish Gallop is actually in Wikipedia.
Adam Curry
What is it? What is a Gish Gallop?
John C. Dvorak
A Gish Gallop is what I would say if anybody actually does it. I don't think Kennedy does, but It's Ben Shapiro would do it, where you just throw so much stuff at somebody, they can't take it. They're ducking you left and right, and they can't respond in time. And by the time they want to respond to something, you say something else.
Adam Curry
Oh, you mean like with facts?
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, if you actually. And Kennedy has a lot of facts, but they just assume everything he says is disinformation or there's better facts or.
Adam Curry
Let me read the exact definition. The Gish Gallop or Gish galop, which I like better, is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments, also known as facts, with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish Galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality. The term was coined in 1994 by anthropologist Eugene Scott, who named it after American creationist Duane Gish and argued that Gish used the technique frequently when challenging scientific fact of evolution. So don't throw too many facts at me, because then you're Gish galloping.
Unknown Speaker
Kind of known rhetorical style that other folks do too, which is called the survival of. Gish Gallop is the term for it, named after Dwayne Gish, a creationist. Right. So the idea that a creationist Gish Gallop is that you are making claim upon claim.
Adam Curry
Oh, a heathen. I'm sorry, A heathen who believes in God. Oh, no.
Unknown Speaker
Gish Gallop is the term for it, named after Dwayne Gish, a creationist. Right. So the idea that Gish Gallop is that you are making claim upon claim upon claim, sort of bad argument after bad argument very, very, very quickly. So quickly that it is hard for the person that you are speaking to to sort of respond to all of those claims effectively and in real time.
Adam Curry
Oh, what a horrible. What a horrible trick. I can't believe Bobby the Q is using the Gish Gallop trick. That's. I mean, that's just. I mean, even Trump can't do that.
John C. Dvorak
No, Trump can't.
Adam Curry
Wow, this is. Oh, man.
John C. Dvorak
So this is to demean him further.
Adam Curry
You know, I.
John C. Dvorak
And. And by the way, it's always associative. You want to associate people with creation.
Adam Curry
Creation because.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, yeah, because that makes you nuts.
Adam Curry
By the way, this whole sequence of clips. This is like, I had a T bone stick a tomahawk steak, and then afterwards you came out and said, would you like some tiramisu with That, I mean, this is so good. I'm just, I love this. This is the best ever, ever. But if we listen to people who guaranteed have been quadruple, if not quintuple boosted, you got to kind of question stuff.
Unknown Speaker
COVID pandemic officially ended earlier this year. For most people, life is back to normal. But not for Dr. Michael Osterholm. The expert at the University of Minnesota became a household name during every stage of the pandemic. Investigative reporter Ryan Reich went to find out what he's doing now that the biggest health crisis of our lifetime is over.
Adam Curry
Are you eating in a restaurant now.
Unknown Speaker
And able to relax? Well, unfortunately, I am.
Adam Curry
And I say unfortunately in that I recently had Covid.
Unknown Speaker
Three years into the pandemic, and Minnesota's famous infectious disease doctor finally became a statistic in March, Dr. Michael Osterholm not only got Covid for the first time, but is now suffering from long Covid.
Adam Curry
It's been a difficult few months, so I'm feeling it. I can't do many of the athletic things I did before.
Unknown Speaker
Osterholm is the longtime director of the center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. He also worked for the state Department of Health and the cdc. But during the pandemic, his projections and downright scary predictions earned him the nickname Dr. Doom.
Adam Curry
So this guy has long Covid. He sounds horrible. He has trouble breathing. He can't do, quote, athletic exercises. He's on death's door. And you know that he. He's the guy that was just vax, vax, vax, vax, vax. Can we go back?
John C. Dvorak
Did they ever find out how many times he got the jab?
Adam Curry
I don't have that information. But now, now I'm by the way.
John C. Dvorak
This clip of the day in advance.
Adam Curry
All right, thank you.
John C. Dvorak
This guy, this guy was one of the worst of the. Of the bad actors out there.
Adam Curry
We would have million, millions of dead des. Millions. Millions in America.
John C. Dvorak
Yes. I want to play a cat. A clip that came off of what's sent in by a producer came off of C Span about Kamala's visit to Vietnam and a kind of a gaff.
Adam Curry
Camel Vietnam. Okay, got it.
Unknown Speaker
Flowers at the site where John McCain was shot down in Vietnam. Or the know nothing millennials who set Kamala's schedule didn't know the site she's laying those flowers at. It's a celebration of Those who shot McCain's plane out of the sky in an ash. Him delivering him to the VC for his long stay and torture at the Hanoi Hilton. The stunning ignorance of Kamala Harris and her team was noted by Yaoin Xu, a journalist based in Beijing. She tweeted, does Harris know this monument honors the people who shot down John McCain's plane? Vietnamese people view him as a war criminal. So when his is Harris was paying tribute to those who shot down John McCain's plane, it'd be like Harris laying a wreath at Pearl harbor honoring the brave Japanese pilots who sunk the USS Arizona.
Adam Curry
Wow, wow, wow. Hold on a second. I had no idea that, that. That's a better gaffe than the stupid population thing. This is a clip of the day, John.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Now we might as well play the one that everyone's laughing about, which is the population gaff. And I've got it right here.
Unknown Speaker
Think about the impact on something like public health. When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
Adam Curry
Water, clean water. MK Ultra victim. You might have noticed that climate change. Climate change created a tornado that blew down a Pfizer factory. The local news had a caller who begs to differ. This was not just regular climate change. We didn't have tornadoes here until we started putting into traffic circles. Because on the counter you want to know why? When people go round and round in circles, it causes disturbance in the atmosphere and causes tornadoes. There you go.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, clip of the day right there at the end of the show.
Adam Curry
Oh, I didn't even expect to receive it. Hold on a second. Wow, baby. Exciting, exciting.
John C. Dvorak
I always knew it was those damn.
Adam Curry
Roundabouts who know, you know, we're gonna get someone calling in saying, you know, you know, that's actually kind of true. Someone will come in and do that.
John C. Dvorak
There's a bunch of these tiktokers that go off and they're doing something called npc and they're just talking and babbling and doing. Remember that whisper trend? There was for a while they were whispering and whispering.
Adam Curry
The whisper trend. I don't remember the whisper trend.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, there was a whispering thing. It was like a whole. It came and went. This, I think, has more legs. And I'm gonna play a clip of one of the women I think is one of the best at it. It of just yakking away, saying nothing, repeating herself over and over and over again. This is a black woman. People have seen her. She's got a fake blonde wig on. I'm sure it's a wig. And I'm listening to this because NPC also has a second meaning and it has to do with spying and spookery. And I think, and I'm going to say it in advance I believe that this is non playing character bit is this is a number station.
Adam Curry
Okay. Of all the things I did not expect this. Let us give a. How about an example of a number station? This is it.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, this is it. This is the NPC black girl.
Adam Curry
You want to hear an actual number?
John C. Dvorak
Oh yeah, play the number station first.
Adam Curry
This is our number. This is no agenda. Number number station. These, you can hear these on short wave. India, Tango, Mike, standby.
Unknown Speaker
33.
Adam Curry
33, 33. Okay, so that's an example of a number station. And now we're going to listen to this NPC slay.
Unknown Speaker
Huh? Slay. Huh? I skin so good. Yes. And yes. Yes. Oh thank you baby. I love you. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, thank you baby.
Adam Curry
I love you.
Unknown Speaker
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, thank you baby. I love you. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, thank you baby. I love you. Yes, yes, yes. Do a dance. Do the dance. Oh baby, you know I can't swim. Yes, back on. Yes, back on. Yes, back on. Yes. Popcorn slay. That was good coconut. That was good coconut. Oh, thank you baby. This is so cute. I feel so good. Yes, yes, yes. Meow, meow, meow. Fire, fire, fire. Oh, special. Oh special. Oh, special. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, amazing balloon. Yes, back on. Yes, back on. Yes. Popcorn, fire, fire. Balloon. Ice cream. So good. Balloon ice cream is so good.
John C. Dvorak
OK first of all, goes on for 10 minutes.
Adam Curry
I do this in the shower. So I'm not quite sure but I'm not a number station. I think it's something else. There's a donation aspect to this.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. And I think that's part of it. I think those numbers that keep flying on the screen showing certain donations is part of the number station. This is a high end encrypted, encrypted product.
Adam Curry
Stop. It's a high end encryption product. So this is actually a public key that she's, that she's giving us.
John C. Dvorak
Well, obviously I have no idea what she's. Yeah, that's my thinking because that's exactly what it reminded me of. Before you play that, you should play this which is Jen Saki doing an RFK junior rap of every reason he's wrong about everything.
Unknown Speaker
Really makes you wonder what is it that Kennedy stands for that has the right so head over heels for him? Is it his years of work as an anti vaccine advocate? His repeatedly debunked claim that vaccines cause autism? Is it his trafficking in a variety of COVID vaccine conspiracy theories, including ones involving microchips being inserted into all of our bodies. Are they fans of his recent comments that Covid was, quote, ethnically targeted to spare Chinese and Jewish people? Or is it his assertion that antidepressants like Prozac have caused the rise of school shootings in America, obviously completely insane and not true. Or that wi fi causes cancer and something called leaky brain, whatever that may be. Or is it his claim that chemicals in the water could be turning kids traffic transgender? I couldn't even cover all of these outlandish, crazy claims because we need to continue with our show.
Adam Curry
All right. There you go. I know why you did that. Well, that's it. That's it. That is basically. Is it because he listens to the no Agenda show? I mean, that's basically what she said right there. Illinois is doing all the same things.
Unknown Speaker
As New York Governor Pritzker recently signed more than 130 bills and among the new laws, one allowing non citizens citizens become police officers in Illinois.
Adam Curry
Political reporter Scott Schneider live in studio with details on this.
Unknown Speaker
Scott Anthony, Nelly, this law requires that immigrants be legally authorized to work under federal law. The bill's sponsor called it a natural progression now that some undocumented immigrants can become health care workers and military members.
Adam Curry
However, it's been highly criticized by Republicans.
Unknown Speaker
And the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police. The FOP issued a statement earlier this month ahead of Friday's bill signing. It raised reads in part, what message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the officers of our laws? This is a potential crisis of confidence in law enforcement at a time when our officers need all the public confidence they can get.
John C. Dvorak
That's I'll give you a clip of the day for. That's fine.
Unknown Speaker
Okay.
Adam Curry
Thank you.
John C. Dvorak
Clip of the Day what is wrong with but the people that are running these governments, especially Illinois, is the worst. These elections have been rigged to keep these people in office. There's no doubt in my mind about it because no citizen in their right mind would put up with this.
Adam Curry
So now a wonderful clip. This is former CIA operative I a spook, Dan Hoffman. Dan Hoffman is now a big a contributor to Fox News and he mentioned something here that kind of solves another mystery. This was Vladimir Putin first and foremost.
Unknown Speaker
Messaging his own security services and the military that if anyone dares betray Vladimir Putin, then their days on this earth will be numbered.
Adam Curry
So that's the message. That's the right message, Dan.
Unknown Speaker
I have no doubt that Putin created A false sense of security for pretty gorgeous. So that his intelligence service, the FSB internal security service, could track Prigozhin's movements and then, like a good sniper, pick.
Adam Curry
The time and place to end Prigozhin's life when they least expect it. Some people are speculating it was a.
Unknown Speaker
Bomb in the airplane, Dan. Yeah, I've heard both of those versions, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bomb in the airplane. There's an awful lot that could go.
Adam Curry
Wrong if you're trying to shoot an.
Unknown Speaker
Airplane out of the sky, not the least of which is that you might.
Adam Curry
Shoot another aircraft like they did with.
Unknown Speaker
The Malaysian airliner over Ukraine back a few years ago.
Adam Curry
So what.
John C. Dvorak
What.
Adam Curry
What did he just tell us? What did he just tell us?
John C. Dvorak
Oh, my God.
Adam Curry
Like, they did.
John C. Dvorak
He didn't. Clip of the day for pulling that one out of a hat.
Adam Curry
Now, I. I have to tell you, this clip comes from Stack.
John C. Dvorak
As you can know, Stack used to send me those sorts of clips.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
But I think one day I didn't play one, and so that was the end of me.
Adam Curry
But this clip is phenomenal. So he said, oh, you know, I've heard both of those theories, but, you know, it's got to be a bomb. Yeah, it's got to be a bomb because, you know, he's trying to shoot something out of the sky. You know, it's very difficult. You might shoot the wrong plane out of the sky, like. Like we did over there with MH17 in Ukraine.
John C. Dvorak
Wow.
Adam Curry
And then there's this one.
Unknown Speaker
So just to be clear, when you're.
Adam Curry
Talking CBS interview with Governor Josh Green.
Unknown Speaker
Global warming, are you saying that climate change amplified the cost of human error.
Adam Curry
Amplified the cost of climate change?
John C. Dvorak
Wait a minute. Is that the exact same wording that they used on the debate?
Adam Curry
Exact same wording.
John C. Dvorak
You're telling. Wow, that's a catch.
Adam Curry
Yeah. Let me play that question again here, Martha.
Unknown Speaker
More than a thousand people are still unaccounted for in Maui after the deadliest US Wildfire in more than a century. Hawaii's governor and White House officials said that climate change amplified the cost of human error. So just to be clear, when you're talking about global warming, are you saying that climate change amplified the cost of human error?
John C. Dvorak
This is cbs.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
And Fox.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Both parroting White House talking points word for word.
Adam Curry
Correct.
John C. Dvorak
Unbelievable. Second clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Oh, man. I'm back, baby. This clip. This clip. This is a laughing matter. Actually, it's no laughing matter, because it's the truth. And the truth, as we know, always comes from right here or right nearby in Austin, Texas, Seedman headquarters.
Unknown Speaker
So then also on the Ukraine, Russia war front, I don't know if you saw the rumor from rumors from Chechnya soldiers who said at night there are large drones coming with claws and scooping up their wounded and taking them for organ harvesting. I thought that was in your wheelhouse. Well, I don't know about drones doing it, but they've caught the Ukrainians harvesting.
Adam Curry
Both Ukrainian and Russian troops and selling their organs. That's confirmed. It's confirmed.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. It was happening in the Balkan wars. They were doing.
Adam Curry
Wait for it.
Unknown Speaker
Live organ harvest things. And I also think that organ harvesting tied in with Bluebeam, the alien stuff is a good. Alien abduction stuff is a good cover for the organ harvesting and adrenaline.
Adam Curry
Well, I don't even need to deal with some claw at night with a drone. I mean, it came out in the.
Unknown Speaker
News, even on 60 Minutes.
Adam Curry
A lot of hospitals will kill you, but they've got bad managers for your organs. Yeah, you think we got problems, John, Booster shots. Come get your boosters.
John C. Dvorak
All right. You get clippered today for that?
Adam Curry
Really? You're gonna give that to me at the very end?
John C. Dvorak
At the very end. Why not?
Adam Curry
Well, I think you're. I think you're actually being too kind, but I will take it of.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Wow. Wow.
Unknown Speaker
Wow, wow, wow.
Adam Curry
All right, that'll have to do it.
John C. Dvorak
Are you familiar with what's going on in New York with the quarantine camps?
Adam Curry
Oh, goodness. Do you have a clip of this? Tell me you have a clip.
John C. Dvorak
I have two.
Adam Curry
Thank you. Masks don't work, by the way. Quarantine camps.
Unknown Speaker
New York State is still fighting for the right to set up quarantine camps. Today the battle entered the next phase when the court heard oral arguments in the case.
Adam Curry
Case quarantine camps. In the state of New York. Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Leticia James want to implement Rule 2.13. It would give the state's Department of Health the power to forcibly isolate individuals suspected of carrying a transmittable disease.
Unknown Speaker
This is truly about being able to control citizens for any reason.
Adam Curry
New York state Senator George Borrello and lead attorney Bobby and Cox sued the state over the rule and won the case last week year, however, the state appealed and on Wednesday, attorneys made their case before an appeals court.
Unknown Speaker
The rule says the commissioner of health can pick any place that the commissioner of health wants to put you. You have no say. As you can see in this clip.
Adam Curry
Hundreds of people showed up at the court protesting the idea of quarantine camps set up to stop the spread of communicable diseases.
Unknown Speaker
Senator, the COVID pandemic is also over.
Adam Curry
Why does the state of New York.
Unknown Speaker
Still want to have the right to set up these camps? Well, first and foremost, we have to remember, even though the governor and the attorney general tried to make this about COVID the senator says the state's rule.
Adam Curry
Would apply to a long list of diseases, not just Covid.
Unknown Speaker
It goes everything from toxic shock syndrome to food poisoning. And while food poisoning might be a serious condition, it is not communicable.
Adam Curry
Is toxic shock syndrome communicable? No, that's. This. Who is this guy?
John C. Dvorak
He's telling you what this. What this. What Coco wants to do is take people off the streets, grab them, and throw them into a quarantine camp for any good reason.
Adam Curry
That's right. New York uber alles.
Unknown Speaker
The senator says New York's executive branch.
Adam Curry
Is overreaching by trying to implement this rule. According to him, the state's proposed rule is basically a copy of a previous proposal which didn't get any support from state lawmakers and thus didn't become law.
Unknown Speaker
What they have essentially said is, if the legislature isn't going to make this law, we will. So it's a very clear violation of separation of powers.
Adam Curry
The lead attorney in the case points.
Unknown Speaker
Out a few things in the state's.
Adam Curry
Rule which he says are against the law.
Unknown Speaker
According to the rule, you would not get an attorney until after you're locked.
Adam Curry
Up or after you're locked down.
Unknown Speaker
But you also wouldn't get notice, which means that the Department of Health could show up at your door, or they could send the police with an order that you need to isolate or quarantine. And it could be not just for you, it could be for your child.
Adam Curry
Meanwhile, the state argues that its proposed rule only clarifies existing law. Supporters of the rule say quarantine measures are being used in states around the US and have been used for centuries. Wow. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you clip of the day for that sequence. Wow, wow, wow. That is. That's borderline upsetting. Only because I have a stepdaughter in New York that is.
John C. Dvorak
They could grab her and throw her into camp. And this is Trudeau's Nazi revised apology. In this case, what he did was he took in everybody who felt aggrieved and even people who didn't feel aggrieved. He put them on this list of I'M sorry to you and you and you and you and you.
Unknown Speaker
In a few moments, I will address the House in front of all Canadians, in front of Jewish people here and around the world and Ukrainians, to offer Parliament's unreserved apologies for what happened on Friday. The speaker was solely responsible for the invitation and recognition of this man and has wholly accepted that responsibility and stepped down. This was a mistake that has deeply embarrassed Parliament and Canada. All of us who were in this House on Friday regret deeply having stood and clapped, even though we did so unaware of the context. It was a horrendous violation of the memory of the millions of people who died in the Holocaust. And it was deeply, deeply painful for Jewish people. It also hurt Polish people, Roma people, two SLGBTQI people, disabled people, racialized people.
Adam Curry
And the many millions. No, no, this is edited. This is edited. He did not say two spirit people, disabled people, did he?
John C. Dvorak
Yes. No, not edited. Believe me, this is.
Adam Curry
This is crazy. Let me hear this again.
Unknown Speaker
And it was deeply, deeply painful for Jewish people. It also hurt Polish people, Roma people, two SLGBTQI plus people, disabled people, racialized people, and the many millions who were targeted by the Nazi genocide.
Adam Curry
Nicholas, you're off my list. I can't believe you gave that clip to John.
John C. Dvorak
No, he didn't give me any clips.
Adam Curry
Oh, okay. I'm sorry. All right, he's back on the list. This is dynamite. In fact, I gotta give this to you right away. I mean, if you had told me that was AI, I would have believed it, too. That's crazy.
John C. Dvorak
He went nuts.
Adam Curry
The Nazis were going after two spirited people. Really, we had two spirits back in the day.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, yeah. Everything in between.
Adam Curry
Here's an example of a human being lying. This is a great example. This is again, Rear Admiral Kirby, and he is asked a question about the President's thinking, but he's very clear in his obvious lies.
Unknown Speaker
I want to play this sound bite for you that is just last month in Vietnam and ask you if this still holds for the President. Watch.
Adam Curry
The only existential threat humanity faces, even.
Unknown Speaker
More frightening than a. Than a nuclear war, is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 2010 years. Given all the nuclear players in these two areas where we are now engaged. John, does the President stand by that comment? Absolutely, he does.
Adam Curry
Climate change is an existential threat.
Unknown Speaker
It could. You know, it actually threatens and is capable of wiping out all human life on Earth.
Adam Curry
I mean, that's. I don't know. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. It's global warming. Climate change is in competition with AI, who's going to kill us faster human.
Unknown Speaker
Life on Earth over time. I mean, that's. I don't know how more existential you can get to that, but that doesn't mean that we walk away from our obligations, our national security interests in very dangerous parts of the world. You mentioned that it was more frightening than a nuclear war. Is that it's more frightening than a nuclear war. In this moment, the President believes wholeheartedly that climate change is an existential threat to the all of human life on the planet. That's just science. That's a fact, Martha. But it doesn't mean that we back on the other challenges facing this country and our allies and partners around the world.
Adam Curry
That's just science.
John C. Dvorak
And you get a clip of the day for that piece of shit.
Adam Curry
It's just science and fact, Martha. That's all that it is. I don't like that you disparage my clip that way, but I'll take the award.
John C. Dvorak
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
And the fact that her name is Martha makes it better. That's just science and fact, Martha. So now, three weeks ago, 60 Minutes does an interview with three Israeli IDF soldiers. They're in uniform. One is a helicopter pilot. One is. And that's a. She was always sexy. Female combat chopper pilot. Lesbian. Does it get any better than that? The other one is special Forces and I forget what the third was. And they're just talking about how horrible Netanyahu is. It's the same topic three weeks ago. Listen to this.
Unknown Speaker
The head of national security has had multiple convictions, including supporting terrorism against Arabs. The finance minister is a self described fascist homophobe. As for Netanyahu, he's in the midst of three separate trials on charges of corruption. The protesters say that laws his government has introduced, over 200 of them, would not only weaken the courts, but control the press and diminish individual rights. And that this is how democracies like Hungary became autocratic.
Adam Curry
What happened in Hungary and Poland will not happen here.
Unknown Speaker
There is a trend and it's going against you.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Around the world. We'll be the first to stop it. You're all determined. We are not joking. We are really trying to stop it and we will succeed. One of their big worries is that without a strong Supreme Court, the ultra orthodox bloc in the government could turn Israel into a theocracy where biblical laws prevail. Our Supreme Court is our last line of defense. This is our last safeguard. We need them empowered, we need them independent. That's what we fight for, what is at stake for women. Shira. That we will be sitting in the back of the bus. Literally. Literally. Are you married? I'm married to a woman, a doctor. We have a daughter. She's one year and eight months. Her fear of an assault on women's and gay rights is well founded. A government member said the gay community is more dangerous than ISIS and Hezbollah.
Adam Curry
Oh, crap. You know, for some reason, I must have cut out the bit where they talk about Poland. Hungary.
John C. Dvorak
No, I heard it.
Adam Curry
Oh, it was in there. I. I completely missed it.
John C. Dvorak
Hello.
Adam Curry
I'm sorry. I thought it came.
John C. Dvorak
No, they mentioned both countries as. As autocratic countries. Poland, I'm giving you a clip of the day for digging that baby out of the woods or whoever does it.
Adam Curry
No, no, no, no. This is truly. Well, it's not coincidence. I know who gave it to me. I know who does this. It's supernatural. So I get this clip and like, whoa, this is the same talking point. Poland, Poland.
John C. Dvorak
Same talking points. Exactly. And it's interesting because it kind of parallels the Queers for Palestine movement, which I highlighted in the newsletter. And people should go read the newsletter and click on the link or just go to Google or DuckDuckGo, which is what I use at Queers for Palestine, and start reading what's going on in Israel with the gay movement there and the symbiosis with Palestine and the fact that they're all. It's just very strange. And I think it's part of that. I think with that clip you just played is part of Queers for Palestine.
Adam Curry
All of a sudden, then this pops up, an infomercial, which is one of those phony talk shows where they get some host who was probably on the E Channel.
John C. Dvorak
I love the phony talk show infomercials.
Adam Curry
And so we've got all brown and black.
John C. Dvorak
It's so bad.
Adam Curry
All brown and black people. And they're in the studio. It has a whole intro to it and a whole positioning piece. And it's brought to you by Advil. Advil. Big logo right there. But listen to this, and then we'll dissect what's going on here.
Unknown Speaker
Believe My Pain, a discussion about systemic pain bias in healthcare. I want to thank all of you and all of you for joining me today as we talk about this very important issue. I also want to thank the Pain Equity Project developed by Advil in partnership with the Morehouse School of Medicine and Black Health, for inviting us to be a part of their commitment to addressing pain bias in Black communities Pain equity is my favorite. Okay, so Dr. Uchi, you have written this book, legacy. A black physician reckons with racism in medicine. You are a legacy black.
Adam Curry
This is just filled with good stuff. I've heard lots of terms.
John C. Dvorak
It's already disgusting.
Adam Curry
A legacy black. I mean, this is great. Not ADOs, not American descendants of slavery. No, you're a legacy black doctor and.
Unknown Speaker
Reckons with racism in medicine. You are a legacy black female physician and you are armed with expertise that frames this issue around black pain in such a clear way. And so I'm so glad that you're here today.
John C. Dvorak
Hold on, you have to stop. Where did this come from?
Adam Curry
This is from. This is from an Advil infomercial response.
John C. Dvorak
What channel was black channel? Was it a Beach?
Adam Curry
No, YouTube. Not on television that I know, but it's being promoted. It's out being promoted today.
Unknown Speaker
Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here to talk to you about this issue that means so much to me and it impacts so many members of our community. And we'll hear those stories today. All right, so Dr. Uche, could you just outline what are some of the myths about black people in pain?
Adam Curry
Now this is stuff. I mean, I have my thoughts about it talking to movies, but I've never heard of this. This is really, it was an eye opener about some of the myths of black people and pain. Remember, this is the Advil Pain Equity Project.
Unknown Speaker
So I think like the main thing is that health professionals think that black people are biologically different than other people, that our skin is thicker, doctors are racist, that we have less sensitive skin and higher pain tolerance. And that is all absolutely false. There is no difference between black patients and patients of other races. Wow. So what do you think has perpetuated these myths? The legacy of slavery in this country. Interpersonal and systemic racism that still exists in this country and that is embedded into the institution of medicine.
Adam Curry
Now, embedded. This was really. When I heard embedded, it's like that's where my hackles went up. And I'll tell you why in 15.
Unknown Speaker
Seconds is embedded into the institution of medicine and healthcare. You know, our health professionals most want to do a good job and care for their patients, but unfortunately we're seeing implicit bias that they are not listening to their patients, they're not responding to their patients concerns, and sometimes even ignoring their patients.
Adam Curry
So this went on for 20 minutes, but obviously as a no agenda media deconstruction. You know, I'm like, well, what is Advil So, I mean, doctors aren't prescribing Advil. Seriously, you can just go and buy Advil, but you have to see who is the manufacturer of Advil. I'll give you one guess.
John C. Dvorak
Pfizer.
Adam Curry
Yes, Pfizer. And what is their. They have one opioid. It's called Embedda. So when I'm hearing embed and I'm hearing this is all subliminal.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, so they're using the words to get you.
Adam Curry
Mm. And they. They do have oxycodone.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
They're using. Embedded in a very, very odd way.
Adam Curry
Very, very weird way. And I know that. Particularly black men. I'm sorry, Legacy black men.
John C. Dvorak
Legacy black men. Not black men.
Adam Curry
No. Legacy black men. They don't like going to the doctor at all because they know the two choices are a pill or a knife. They don't like either one.
John C. Dvorak
That's.
Unknown Speaker
I'm.
Adam Curry
And I'm. I am parroting Mofax right now. It's either the pill or the knife. And they don' one of those. So I think this is. This is to get more black people on opioids. It's killing a lot of white people. We have a whole market.
John C. Dvorak
Blacks, though.
Adam Curry
That's right. Legacy blacks.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
It was really. It was really disturbing.
John C. Dvorak
I'm giving you clip of the day for. For. I don't know who said this. Mole, probably.
Adam Curry
But no one sent this to me. This. I was.
John C. Dvorak
You just stumbled upon.
Adam Curry
No, someone else sent me a YouTube clip and I was watching it and I saw. What is this? Advil Black.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, you did? Yeah, I done that too.
Adam Curry
And I go. And I just clicked on it. I forgot all about the.
John C. Dvorak
It was a gold mine. You clicked on it, you stuck, you tripped and stumbled and you hit your head on a rock and you said, what's this rock? Oh, my God. It's a gold nugget.
Adam Curry
This is how we connect Sam Bankman, Fried and AI with the term effective altruism.
Unknown Speaker
Joining me on this edit, there's our technology editor, Peter o' Brien.
Adam Curry
Hello to you, Peter.
Unknown Speaker
What can you tell us about the surprising links between these two events, SBF.
John C. Dvorak
And the UK's AI summit?
Adam Curry
What do they have in common? Yeah, I was wondering how we could link these two together.
Unknown Speaker
And actually, there's a simple way to do it. You may not have heard of it.
Adam Curry
But it's the social movement called effective altruism. It's boffin filled and it's increasingly powerful.
Unknown Speaker
Now, that power to took a hit when Sam Bankman fried the most High.
Adam Curry
Profile effective altruist, and one of the movement's biggest donors fell from grace. But as we've seen from the AI.
Unknown Speaker
Summit in Bletchley park this week, we.
Adam Curry
Can see that effective altruist talking points.
Unknown Speaker
Are still making their way up the policy agenda.
Adam Curry
One in particular, the potential for artificial intelligence to cause catastrophic harm. A risk that would not be on the policy table at all were it.
Unknown Speaker
Not for the work of effective altruists. Now, I should add a disclaimer here that I've been briefly involved in the movement in France and donate to some charities that are popular among effective altruists.
Adam Curry
Now, he's never going to mention them, but what he's saying is effective altruism, people donate a lot of money for the good of humanity, for the good cause, because we care about the world. That's what Sam Bankman Fried really should be accused of doing, Doing. Thanks to the egging on of his parents. He was literally giving it to his mother for effective altruism, which does a lot of really good things, including this whole AI scam.
Unknown Speaker
How did we get to the point.
John C. Dvorak
Where effective altruism is producing one of.
Unknown Speaker
The biggest frauds in history? It's also becoming a major policy debate.
Adam Curry
Policy is code for politics. The only way to really explain this.
Unknown Speaker
Is to take you back for the intellectual history of the movement.
Adam Curry
So the founding movement, altruism, is simple and it's persuasive. In order to do the most good with your time and money, you shouldn't just think about your close circle of friends and family. You shouldn't just think about your community, your country. You should really be taking into consideration all humans in the world, because we all suffer in a similar way. If Trump's president, we all suffer in a similar way.
Unknown Speaker
A classic example of putting this into practice would be rather than donating money.
Adam Curry
To your local fire station, no, don't do that. Don't donate local.
John C. Dvorak
No, don't do that.
Adam Curry
No, don't donate local.
Unknown Speaker
No.
Adam Curry
Come on, France douche.
Unknown Speaker
Well, it would be using the same amount to buy much more mosquito nets.
Adam Curry
To protect people from malaria. There you go, mosquito net. But rather than just caring about humans.
Unknown Speaker
Effective altruists quickly realized that the same principle should be applied to anything that can suffer, right?
Adam Curry
So that could be an animal, that could be a wild, wild animals, animal, that could even be a human, not alive today, a future human, but in the future.
Unknown Speaker
So that's where we get to this situation where there are lots of effective.
Adam Curry
Archers today who are also long termists.
Unknown Speaker
That means people who are concerned humans.
Adam Curry
And animals that don't yet exist but could exist in the future. So this is, this is the idea.
John C. Dvorak
Oh my God. This I'm. You're getting clip of the day for this.
Adam Curry
Thank you.
John C. Dvorak
Piece of shit.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
So long termist. That's exact. And the whole idea is we're concerned about the human of the future who isn't born today. Therefore we need to support policy that behooves the human of the future, which happens to also kind of be beneficial to our companies. And coincidentally that's exactly what's going on with this AI stuff. Pfizer is arguably in trouble for this and they need to refocus. The UK is a good place to start. You know, the different laws, you know, works a little differently and the media is good over there. So this is a right.
John C. Dvorak
Because they're not getting. And let's make, let's point it out once again because they're not getting drug big pharma money for advertising.
Adam Curry
Well, so they slipped this one in and the way they did it, it's a long game. They have a couple, they both happen to be actors. So these are actual actors. And this is the guy, his wife, actress was harmed by the AstraZeneca vaccine.
John C. Dvorak
Okay. That's a blood clot.
Adam Curry
Yes, blood clot issue. This is well known, you know, AstraZeneca was halted. So now, now they're going after AstraZeneca. And this is a two parter but very interesting as a setup and really a grand slam.
John C. Dvorak
So this is a native ad for who?
Adam Curry
I'm sorry? Well, you. Listen, just. I'm going to surprise you.
John C. Dvorak
The big pharma vaccine maker is being sued for tens of millions of pounds in a test case or mass taught action depending on your continent. Brought by the British family of one person allegedly killed by the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and another who was brainwashed, injured allegedly as a result of the same vaccine. 80 others are co joined in the case, including Australian born West End actor mel Stewart. The 42 year old suffered a devastating brain bleed and has a titanium plate to protect her skull from emergency surgery.
Unknown Speaker
After receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in South.
John C. Dvorak
West London in April 2021. I'm joined now by her husband Ben Lewis. Ben is also an actor but has given up career to be by his wife's side in what must be the.
Adam Curry
Greatest challenge of their lives. Yeah, Mel had.
Unknown Speaker
Mel had a significant stroke caused by two clots in her brain. Mel had a bleed on the Right on the.
Adam Curry
Sorry.
Unknown Speaker
On the right hand side of her brain. The left hand side of her brain. Excuse me. And that's resulted in her having speech difficulties. She suffers from what are called what is known as aphasia and apraxia of speech, which is basically a breakdown in the communication between the brain and your speech. Mel also has significant right sided deficits, as is common with lots of strokes. Mel has limited use of her right leg. She can walk with the assistance of an orthotic device. And her right arm has very little functional movement at all.
Adam Curry
So that's the setup. And you heard it's a proper case. It got a lot of people, they even said, hey, this is something that could work in America depending on your continent. We call that a mass tort case. Now, now to complete the script, you've always gotta say, but you know what, we're not anti vaxxers.
Unknown Speaker
We are pro vaccination. Mel and I both are.
Adam Curry
But we completely respect everyone's right to choose.
Unknown Speaker
That is not the issue at play here. Tens of thousands of particularly older people were dying in care homes throughout the UK when we came to get our vaccines. The way it was in the UK is that you did not have a choice as to which one you were given. It was dictated by age. Mel was six months over 40 at the time. So she was offered the AstraZeneca vaccine which was. We could have got it. Mel could have got an alternative vaccine if she'd been under 40 years old, but she wasn't given a choice. And we just feel like, yes, the vaccine saved and helped lots of people, but we feel like it is incumbent on the government to take care of the few people who fell through the cracks and whose lives have been devastated for. As you said, Chris, for doing the right thing.
John C. Dvorak
Have you kept up to date with COVID 19 vaccination boosters?
Adam Curry
We have, we have, Chris.
Unknown Speaker
My wife, my wife received a Pfizer vaccine. People may be gobsmacked at that. I'm gobsmacked.
Adam Curry
As I say, we, we've always had.
Unknown Speaker
It put our faith in the experts and by the time we got the.
Adam Curry
Pfizer vaccine, it's very clear that that's.
Unknown Speaker
A highly effective vaccine, none of the risks. So she got that one in hospital, which was necessary because the hospitals were full of COVID when she was in there. And we're actually going for a booster next week and I'd encourage everyone to do so.
Adam Curry
And the Oscar goes to.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, you get, I had to do this because I'm sitting There with the clip of the day already. But I'm gonna give you clip of the day for that.
Adam Curry
Thank you very much. I forget which producer sent that to me, but of course, honors.
John C. Dvorak
Well, that producer should get clip of the day. You should send it to him when you get it in the mail tomorrow when it shows up. It's a very small trophy for people that don't know. We have a bunch of them lined up around the house. When you get that, ship it to him.
Adam Curry
Will do. University students have been brainwashed. There is an entire. And when I say it's not about Israel, Hamas, it's about colonialism. The west is bad. White is bad. Men are bad, Straight, white, old men, very, very bad.
John C. Dvorak
Very bad.
Adam Curry
Especially if you live in the west. And this is an ongoing program. And, and it's very understandable when you look at the history. Oh, oh, history lesson incoming. When you look at the history, you know, what was the last thing they were protesting for? I mean, besides the ongoing lgbtq, which.
John C. Dvorak
Usurped Black Lives Matter.
Adam Curry
Black Lives Matter. And there has been a longstanding, long standing operation going on between black Americans and. And the Palestinian region. I'm saying that purposefully, Palestine. This has been going on since almost before I was born.
Unknown Speaker
In 1964, Malcolm X published an article in the Egyptian Gazette called Zionist Logic in which he drew parallels between the oppression of Palestinians and Africans. Instead of seeing it as a religious conflict, Malcolm saw Israel as a colonial project serving a wider imperialist agenda, saying European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world. In the same year, Malcolm was one of the first African leaders to publicly meet with the Palestine Liberation Organization. As anti colonial struggles gained traction through the world, freedom for Palestinians became a touchstone for the international fight against imperialism. As black freedom movements expanded their worldview to situate their struggle as part of a global antiquity colonial movement, Palestine also became an important focal point of their solidarity. On August 15, 1967, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee released a position paper entitled the Middle East Crisis, expressing support for Palestine and criticizing US Support for Israel. Organizations such as the Black Panthers argued that freedom would never come for black people in America unless all oppressed people were free. The Panthers, free frequently spoke of black communities and their relationship with police as living under occupation, as internally colonized people. They were vocal in their support for Palestine and met with the PLO in Algiers in 1969.
Adam Curry
So that's black Panthers and Malcolm X.
John C. Dvorak
Wait, hold on a second. Whoever got you that clip, I'm going to Give you a clip of the day. That's a beauty.
Adam Curry
Oh, thank you. I got that myself from trt.
John C. Dvorak
You give yourself a pat on the back. Well, so a couple.
Adam Curry
I just want to have another one. I have a second, but follow up. But go ahead. Go ahead. But go ahead.
John C. Dvorak
Israel's not in. In a position, is not put in. It's not in a spot that's dividing the Arab nations. It's in between Egyptians and Arabs. There's no other. It's not like in the middle between Saudi Arabia and, you know, the UAE or anything like that. That's nonsense. But yeah, I understand. I remembered some of this from my days at Cal Berkeley.
Adam Curry
It's the same thing. Back at the ranch, Judge Andrew Napolitano has Max Blumenthal on, who I presume is Jewish.
John C. Dvorak
I presume he is, too. This is what his. Napolitano's podcast.
Adam Curry
Yeah, yeah, of course. It's a podcast which I think will be nominated for most amazing Jew haters in a single podcast episode. This was really interesting.
Unknown Speaker
One event we covered was the return of something like 80 to 100 corpses to the Gaza Strip, to a cemetery in the southern city of Rafah. These were corpses of people whose bodies had been stolen by the Israeli military from many of them had been stolen from the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, from other cemeteries, ostensibly because the Israelis were looking for their own hostages. But we have this history of Israeli organ theft, of the theft of body parts, which is well documented and admitted by, for example, Dr. Yehuda Hiss, state.
John C. Dvorak
Pathologist at the Abu Kabir Institute in Israel.
Unknown Speaker
There's.
John C. Dvorak
There are reports even by CNN about.
Unknown Speaker
This dating back decades. Israel is an international center of the illegal organ trade. Israelis have been prosecuted in Israeli courts for this, and the Gaza Ministry of Health and Euromed Human Rights Monitor have.
John C. Dvorak
Alleged that these corpses, when they were.
Unknown Speaker
Returned to Israel to be buried in.
John C. Dvorak
A mass grave because there's no room.
Unknown Speaker
Left in the cemeteries, had body parts missing.
Adam Curry
How do they do this? I mean, do they bring the body to cut them off to an Israeli.
Unknown Speaker
Morgue and an Israeli mortician opens up.
Adam Curry
The body and removes the organs and then they bury the body in a mass grave?
Unknown Speaker
Well, that's what the Gaza Ministry of Health is alleging. What Dr. Yehuda his said was that we removed corneas and took organs and.
John C. Dvorak
Other body parts without the permission of.
Unknown Speaker
The people who had been killed or their families. And this included Palestinians who had been killed by Israeli security forces, people who.
John C. Dvorak
Were killed in road accidents, and even Israeli soldiers.
Adam Curry
This Is great. Great.
John C. Dvorak
I gave you a clip of the day for digging that one up.
Adam Curry
Oh, there's a part two, but I'll take the clip of the day first.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
John C. Dvorak
That's a good one. I don't know. Yeah, that was a good find. Part two.
Adam Curry
Part two.
Unknown Speaker
Israel also has the largest skin bank in the world.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
And it uses that skin bank to.
Unknown Speaker
Graft the skin of, for example, burn wounds that Israeli soldiers are enduring in the Gaza Strip as thousands are being.
John C. Dvorak
Wounded in this sort of faltering military assault on Gaza. The Israeli skin bank is accused of.
Unknown Speaker
Stealing body parts as well.
Adam Curry
Skin.
Unknown Speaker
So this is a crime against humanity. That goes to the essence of Israel's assault on the personal freedom of Palestinians. Our families don't even have the right.
John C. Dvorak
To bury their own family members who are killed.
Unknown Speaker
Killed. And that's also part of the psychological.
John C. Dvorak
War on Palestine that Israel seeks.
Unknown Speaker
Has all has traditionally sought to prevent the burials of Palestinians, especially those who they consider to be, quote, unquote, terrorists.
Adam Curry
Is great.
John C. Dvorak
I have my two Gaza clips.
Adam Curry
You know, I'm just. I'm just thinking, you know, there's donor bone in my dream jaw and I thought maybe it was from the Uyghurs, but now I'm thinking it's probably some Hamas.
John C. Dvorak
Be part Jewish.
Adam Curry
No Hamas.
John C. Dvorak
Well, you could be. Oh, yeah, you could be. You could be a terrorist at any minute.
Adam Curry
If I start yelling Albar, then you know what's going on. All right, now let's go to the longer predictions here. This is. This is going to wrap it all.
Unknown Speaker
Up, this segment here on Face the Nation. We've covered a lot of tough stories this year.
Adam Curry
Tough stories.
Unknown Speaker
We asked.
Adam Curry
It was a hard year. It was so hard for us. But let's pat each other on the back because we did a good job, everybody. It was hard. It was tough stories, but we did it.
Unknown Speaker
We're CBS Mark Strassman to go back and recap some of the good news.
Adam Curry
Oh, good news. The good news. Do you think this will be puppies.
John C. Dvorak
And pancakes and pajamas stealing our material?
Adam Curry
Yeah. No, not entirely.
Unknown Speaker
Ladies first. Women headlined all over in 2020. Taylor and her jubilant swifties comes together and we're all dressed up and we all participate.
John C. Dvorak
Beyonce and the beehive generated billions for.
Unknown Speaker
Local economies, mostly from women cheering their heroes.
Adam Curry
Now this is good news.
John C. Dvorak
Women heroes.
Adam Curry
Women cheering their heroes. Yeah. Very good.
Unknown Speaker
I have never been more confident and proud to be in my own skin because of her. Not just a Hollywood hit, a cultural conversation. Barbie is like Such a strong and empowered woman. She has like 90 jobs.
John C. Dvorak
Good.
Adam Curry
She has like 90.
John C. Dvorak
Wow. That's the clip of the year right there.
Adam Curry
Cultural conversations.
Unknown Speaker
Barbie is like such a strong and empowered women. She has like 90 jobs.
Adam Curry
Barbie is empowering. Yes, yes. With the legs that are five times too long from any normal woman. With the boobs that are bigger and firmer than any woman. And look at that hair. Barbie. I know a lot of people want.
Unknown Speaker
To send blankets or water. Just send your cash.
Adam Curry
We just need cash.
Unknown Speaker
Blankets or water, what difference does it make? I'm going to show my support by.
John C. Dvorak
Donating to no Agenda.
Unknown Speaker
Imagine all the people.
John C. Dvorak
People who could do that.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Adam Curry
Well, now I remember. I remember all of a sudden, why would they call us the best podcast in the universe?
John C. Dvorak
I mean, come on, those clips are dynamite.
Adam Curry
Of course some of them are from producers. They're not all our own. This is how it works in gitmonation.
John C. Dvorak
Well, yeah, but you have to remember that clip of the day is called on the show by one of the two of us when it happens.
Adam Curry
Correct. It's not just. Yes, exactly. And that's because we noticed sometimes we didn't even know it. Like, wow, that was a really good clip. You know, I don't think I've ever clipped something. In fact, it happens more often than not that people go like, play this. Guaranteed. Cotd.
John C. Dvorak
Never.
Adam Curry
Never. It's never. Best clip of the day ever. So even though we are taking a day off here, we do do want to implore you to support the best podcasts in the universe. And of course, we'll be thanking everybody in an extra, probably, hopefully an extra long donation segment on episode 1768, which will be on Thursday. So quick turnaround for us. So you'll be executive producer, associate executive producer, et cetera on that show.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Go to noagendadonations.com and you might find there's a special offer coming, coming up.
Adam Curry
Oh, is that going to be on the website? It should be by the time we speak of this.
John C. Dvorak
Maybe noagendadonations.com will reveal all.
Adam Curry
There it is. No agenda. Donations.com. we'll be thanking everybody on the next show. And right now, back to the best of the clips of the day.
Unknown Speaker
And now back to real news.
Adam Curry
I'm a little heartbroken because they remember two intellectuals. They, they are evolutionary biologists, smart people who think podcasting is no good. Podcasting 2.0, you know, don't go for value. For value. What breaks my heart is what they're actually doing to make money.
Unknown Speaker

Unknown Speaker
Not only that, but in some sort.
Adam Curry
Of mini collapse scenario, if you ended.
Unknown Speaker
Up having to share your dog's food, you would be so glad it's Sundays.
Adam Curry
I speak from experience. I mean, not from the mini apocalypse.
Unknown Speaker
Experience, but from the having tried it and it's good. And not also from getting down on the ground and eating from her bowl, which is gross. Oh, Also undignified. I mean, just really bad.
John C. Dvorak
Collar around his neck and makes him eat from the dog.
Unknown Speaker
That's true.
Adam Curry
But I mean, that was more dignified than you would would imagine.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, much better. Much more dignified.
Adam Curry
I mean, it was a little badass at some level.
Unknown Speaker
Right. And I mean, we're only taking your word for it. I guess that's true. Yeah. I didn't say that's true.
Adam Curry
Well, I might have to repeat it.
Unknown Speaker
You might on camera even. All right, all right.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, my God.
Adam Curry
But here we go.
Unknown Speaker
I have not tasted it, but it looks edible. It is. Yeah, it is edible. All right.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, geez.
Adam Curry
Delicious.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, I'll give you a clip of the day for dredging that up.
Unknown Speaker
Clip.
John C. Dvorak
Dredging being the operative word here.
Adam Curry
That breaks my heart. Breaks my heart. Go. Value for value, people. Stop. Right away. Stop it.
John C. Dvorak
Well, my favorite clip of the day is the pot eating rats.
Adam Curry
Okay. Thank goodness.
Unknown Speaker
Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says rats are getting in and eating drugs in the evidence room at NOPD headquarters. It's just one of the reasons that she says they need to find a new one. Eleanor Thomone is joining us live now on what is prompting that move, other than the obvious rats eating evidence. Eleanor? Katie. Rats, roaches, no ac, Broken elevators. The NOPD headquarters building here on Broad street is decaying. That's why the city is looking for a new space, a space where rats don't eat evidence. The rats eating our marijuana, they're all high. You heard that, right? Rats eating marijuana from the evidence room. NOPD Chief Ann Kirkpatrick says sometimes staff come into work and find rat droppings on their desk. When we say we value our employees, you can't say that and at the same time allow people to work in conditions that are not acceptable.
Adam Curry
I. I was not going to give it to you until I heard the rats are high. So, yes, you will get a clip of the day for that.
John C. Dvorak
Now, this clip goes on. This is a scam of some sort to get a new, completely new police building.
Adam Curry
Yes. Well, it's good for me.
John C. Dvorak
And it's like, you can poison rats. You can trap them. There's rat traps. You can stop this. And roaches, you know, you can do the same thing and bring a exterminator in and get rid of the roach torches and the rats. But then. No, no, no, no, no. The rats are eating the pot and we're losing evidence and we gotta move to a new place because this is no good.
Adam Curry
Where'd the evidence go? I know, man. The rat ate it.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Which is another aspect. What happened to the. What happened to all this pot?
Adam Curry
This is from a podcast. This is the Quite frankly podcast. And the. And the. And this dude, Frank, I think his name is Frank, and he has. Maybe not, but it's the Quite frankly podcast podcast. And it's on Rumble. So not really a podcast, but okay. Oh, there you go. It's a Rumble cast. And he has this guest on from time to time named Rich Barris. Rich is a pollster and really a good GOP Republican, pro Trump guy, very knowledgeable. And he. He knows this guy from back in the day when he was, I guess, also working in that business. Business. And he's very surprised to hear this guy has, quote, unquote, committed suicide. And then he rolls out an extra little bit, which I think we just need to take it into account.
Unknown Speaker
Boeing is an extremely powerful company. There is no doubt that they lied. And for almost, you know, nearly 400 souls are dead because they lied and.
Adam Curry
Because they cut corners and because they.
John C. Dvorak
Tried to hide it.
Unknown Speaker
If it wasn't for. For Donald Trump, more people would be dead. And he doesn't talk about this enough. But FAA and everybody was like, but.
Adam Curry
They wholeheartedly believe Boeing.
Unknown Speaker
When that second plane went down, Trump, he became the.
John C. Dvorak
Just so people know how a historic.
Unknown Speaker
This is, Trump became the first president ever in history to ground an aircraft by president, presidential order without, by the.
Adam Curry
Way, the recommendation of the faa.
Unknown Speaker
He did not. The FAA was still in cover up mode, in kiss ass mode. Frank, when he signed that order and said, the 737 is grounded. He did it by presidential order. The first crash, understandable. But once that second one came along, the President was like, no, something's wrong here. It's grounded.
Adam Curry
And he did.
Unknown Speaker
And this is like one of the many things that happened during the Trump administration that you just never hear about. That is just really incredible, bold action from the former President. No president has the balls to do that. Can we be serious right now? Boeing is powerful.
Adam Curry
They had a lot of friends, including.
Unknown Speaker
In his own administration.
John C. Dvorak
He let Nikki Haley go because her.
Unknown Speaker
Family was basically broke. And he let her go to go.
John C. Dvorak
Get a job on the board of.
Unknown Speaker
Boeing that she had lined up in.
Adam Curry
Order to, you know.
Unknown Speaker
And that's why, by the way, you.
Adam Curry
Know, that it's more than just one promise, you hear?
John C. Dvorak
Oh, well, Nikki, Ellie said she would never run against the former president if he ran again.
Unknown Speaker
I mean, this was something that they.
John C. Dvorak
Actually had talked about.
Unknown Speaker
Frank, when he let her go, he.
John C. Dvorak
Said, fine, I understand you need to go to the private sector and, and.
Unknown Speaker
Do some stuff, but I got your word that you're not going to come back as a ball buster, you know.
John C. Dvorak
And so she not only broke her.
Unknown Speaker
Vow to the party, not, you know, to, you know, that loyalty pledge. I mean, this was a personal, you know, my word is my bond kind of situation. I have to resign, my family needs more money. I'm gonna go do this.
Adam Curry
Which he really didn't like.
Unknown Speaker
But she had already had those connections to Boeing from when she was governor of South Carolina. She literally enticed them to move the construction of that aircraft over to Charleston.
Adam Curry
And that's when all. Sorry, Sorry. And that's when all the cost cutting started, is when Nikki Haley begged them to come move their operation to South Carolina. So there's a stinky element of Nikki Haley in this, too.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, huh. You know that clip? I have to give you a clip of the day for digging that one up.
Adam Curry
Well, it wasn't me, it was our producer, so I'll give it to them.
John C. Dvorak
I'll give you it to whoever.
Adam Curry
Yeah, yeah.
John C. Dvorak
That was a good, a good catch. Whoever found that, that is fascinating. And it also adds to the intrigue of Trump and all these people that he trusts and hires. You know, I would say like, you know, it's like one backstabber after another, no matter who it is.
Adam Curry
What is the deal according to Turkish radio and television? And then obviously I need to. Someone pointed this out to me that. I guess I need to point out that Turkish radio television is not going to be on the side of Israel, which is, which is why I play it. You got to hear everything from around the world.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah.
Adam Curry
Not just the three by threes. You know, we gotta. This is what we do. We expose Chinese anti Chinese, all kinds of stuff.
John C. Dvorak
But they say news from the Chinese.
Adam Curry
Outlets, they say the reason for hamas attacking on October 7 was the red heifers. Are you familiar with the red heifers?
John C. Dvorak
Okay, I'm going to be in a minute.
Unknown Speaker
Could a Texas cow start Armageddon in the Middle east in April 2024? And what does this have to do with Israel's war on Palestine's Gaza? On the 100 day anniversary of Israel's brutal assault on Gaza, Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaidah released a video explaining the motivations behind the group's incursion into Israel Israel on October 7, alongside Israel's continued occupation of Palestine. He also mentioned the bringing of red cows into the occupied Palestinian territories. Obeidah was referring to the plans of numerous right wing Israeli groups who believe that a red cow must be sacrificed in order for the Jews to progress plans to demolish the Al Aqsa mosque and build the fabled Third Temple in its place. It might sound like a conspiracy theory, but hardliner Israeli group the Temple Institute have already purchased and imported five red Angus heifers from Texas at a cost of $500,000. They have been grazing in a kibbutz in the occupied West bank since 2022 with reports that the sacrifice is planned to take place as early as April 2024. The sacrifice of the red heifer has its roots in the Torah and the Talmud and it is believed that the ritual is necessary to purify the Jews so that they can pray at the Al Aqsa compound. The sacrifice will reportedly take place on a plot of land on the Mount of Olives facing the Al Aqsa. The cow must be completely red, including its hooves, and must be around 3 years old at the time of sacrifice. Following the sacrifice, the ashes of the cow are due to be mixed with water and used to purify Selected Jewish priests and their adherents.
Adam Curry
It's about to get exciting. I thought the, the eclipse was exciting.
John C. Dvorak
You got to get a clip of the day for dredging that up.
Adam Curry
It literally popped into the algo. It just. I was looking at a different YouTube video and this YouTube short popped up like, wow, this is great.
John C. Dvorak
You got lucky.
Adam Curry
This is great. I don't know if you saw this. It was BBC, BBC.
Unknown Speaker
Hard.
Adam Curry
Hard Talk. Hard Talk. Stephen Sacker.
John C. Dvorak
I have that same clip.
Adam Curry
Yeah, but I, I have the whole. I have the whole thing. It's a little. It's a little. There's a little more to it. And, and I just, I have some commentary about this.
John C. Dvorak
So everyone saw, by the way, Stephen is a dick. And the Hard Talk has been like this forever. But this was where they just, they just think it's so cool to be up with a British accent to just grill somebody unnecessarily and not let you know and have this. It's a terrible hard talk. Sixteen years ago when we started this show, I used to watch it because he had a different guy, but ever since the Steven Sackler guy or whatever his name is came on it and the arrogance and condescension of his style shows unwatchable. And the BBC should take it off the air.
Adam Curry
Well, it was doubly disgusting because what everyone. The clip that went viral. Viral. And we're like, yeah, you stick it to the BBC, man. You tell them. Yeah, you tell them. But meanwhile, this was an entire net zero promotion. Complete acceptance that CO2 is killing us. And the president of Guyana did not push back on the bogus climate change change charges. No, he's all in on it. This was a promotion of global warming and everybody fell for like, yeah, man, you tell them. Carbon sink. We have to be very careful about this climate change stuff. This is. This is the stuff. While we're looking at Trump and Biden and, and the Algos, it's the climate change. This is how they're going to lock you down. Welcome to Hard Talk. I'm Stephen Sacka and today I. Guyana, South America, a country of some 800,000 people, which right now can claim to have the fastest growing economy in the world. The reason, Oil. Vast reserves of the stuff located offshore. My guest today is Guyana's president, Irfan Ali. His country's newfound oil riches have stoked tensions with neighboring Venezuela. They've also raised questions about this country's vulnerability to climate change. So is oil really a blessing or a curse? All right, so now we get into the thing that Most people saw. Let's take a big picture, look at what's going on here. Over the next decade, two decades, it is expected that there will be $150 billion worth of oil and gas extracted off your coast. It's an extraordinary figure, but think of it in practical terms. That means, according to many Experts, more than 2 billion tons of carbon emissions will come from your seabed, from those reserves, and be released into the atmosphere. I don't know if you as a head of state went to the COP in Dubai.
Unknown Speaker
Let me stop you right there. Do you know that Guyana has a forest forever that is the size of England and Scotland combined? A forest that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon. A forest that we have kept alive. A forest that we have kept alive.
Adam Curry
Does that give you the right, does that give you the right to release all of this carbon from.
Unknown Speaker
Does that give you the right to lecture us on climate change? I am going to lecture you on climate change because we have kept this forest alive. The stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon that you enjoy, that the world enjoy, that you don't pay us for, that you don't value, that you don't see a value in that the people of Guyana has kept alive. Guess what? We have the lowest deforestation rate in the world. And guess what? Even with our greatest exploration of the oil and gas resource we have now, we will still be net zero. Guyana will still be net zero.
Adam Curry
So he's right there with net zero, which means carbon credits, because that's how you get to net zero. He says carbon, carbon, but he really means carbon dioxide because that's just become the thing now. Oh, it's carbon. It's just. No, it's carbon dioxide. And it goes downhill from there. The center for International Environmental Law has described the oil and gas production in Guyana as turning your country from, as you rightly put it, a carbon sink into a potential, quote, carbon bomb. Now you may say you have every right. I mean, come on, this thing is a climate change promotion motion. Climate carbon bomb. Give me a break. Yeah, potential carbon bomb. Now you may say you have every right to exploit that oil.
Unknown Speaker
That is ridiculous. We, even with our, Even with exploring and production of all our resources, we are going to still be carbon neutral. We are still going to be carbon neutral.
Adam Curry
Let me quote to you, Greenpeace, who say, quite simply, to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. And you know that your own country is one of the most vulnerable to climate change because most of your, most of your population lives below Sea level.
Unknown Speaker
And we have paid. Guess what, guess what.
Adam Curry
Now this is interesting. So this guy, not only is he all actually really on a net zero, but now he's reminded that his country, most of his country lives below sea level. But he's all in on sea level rise, of course, because, you know, that's what Obama knows with his house on the coast, population lives below.
Unknown Speaker
And we have paid. Guess what, guess what? We have paid for the mitigation. We have paid for the adaptation. We are the ones who have to find revenue. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Adam Curry
I want to. I haven't finished telling you what Greenpeace say, but let me tell you. We need to keep the majority of the world's remaining fossil fuels in the ground. Greenpeace can say that doing that.
Unknown Speaker
Greenpeace. And you can say that. But we need, need to get resources and the developing world. We need to get resources to build the sea defenses. We need to get sea defenses to build a drainage irrigation system. You just said that we are six feet below sea level. Who is going to pay for the infrastructure? Who is going to pay for the drainage and irrigation? Who is going to pay for the development and advancement of our country? Are you going to pay? It's not coming from anywhere. It's not coming from Greenpeace or anyone else.
Adam Curry
So he's admitting we got to pump the water out out, man, when the sea level rises where our people start to drown. You're not going to pay for that hard talk, man. No, we're going to pay for it with our carbon. Isn't there a cynicism here in Georgetown best expressed by your vice president who said recently, because there is this climate change imperative to decarbonize, our policy is to get as much oil out of the ground as quickly as possible. Now, he said that's harsh for those who think that you should be environmentally sound, but that is the reality of it. Those were very honest words from your vice president.
Unknown Speaker
And that is what we are, honest. We are practical.
Adam Curry
So you're rushing to get this oil out before any deal is done, to quote Dubai Cop, to transition away from oil and gas.
Unknown Speaker
You can say we are rushing, but we are very practical. We have this natural resource and we are going to aggressively pursue this natural resource because we are have to develop our country. We are committed to development of this region. We have to create the opportunity for our people because no one is bringing that for us. You, you. No one is bringing that for us. No one is paying our agenda.
Adam Curry
So while everyone thinks this is A big win. It's not. The guy's all in. His vice president's all in. Just they have a different solution. Let's do it quick.
John C. Dvorak
I like the analysis. I'm going to give you a clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Oh, that is very kind of you.
John C. Dvorak
Because you're right. Everyone just played the funny part. I had the clips isolated because. Not because of the analysis. Because it was humorous. Yes, because it was. Yeah, I've told and. But you're absolutely correct. The whole thing is it could have. Might as well have been scripted.
Adam Curry
Yep. Yeah. Why else is the guy there? Hard talk man.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah. Why did he go to Guyana from uk? That seems like a kind of out of the way trip.
Adam Curry
I hear Guyana is beautiful this time year. Anyway, leave it to the farmerless meat country known as the Netherlands. This is really. This is a marketing campaign. Farmerless meat. Can you believe it? Instead of saying it's not actual meat. No, it's farmerless meat. Don't. Just forget about the cow. We don't need this stupid farmer his wooden shoes. No. And you want protein. Introducing the Dutch Bugs burgers.
Unknown Speaker
At first glance it looks like a normal hamburger. But it's not just any old burger because half of the meat patty consists of ground up insect larvae. The bucks burger. But it has nice flavor and I would definitely recommend it to myself.
Adam Curry
Yeah, listen, the Dutch. It has nice meat flavor so I'm going to eat it up. It's very good. I would recommend it to all my friends.
Unknown Speaker
Try. But it has nice flavor and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. The main ingredient in Vera's Bucks burger is ground lesser meal worms. The larvae of the darkling beetle. The production of the insect burgers begins here in the Dutch town of Ermelo. The manufacturers have been breeding insects here for about 40 years mainly as animal feed. Give them cow feed and for the cosmetics industry. But recently they've been producing more and more larvae for human consumption. He performs regular checks on the quality of.
Adam Curry
What do you think the difference is between larvae for animal consumption and larvae for human consumption? Is there a different process?
John C. Dvorak
Suddenly you're making me sick.
Unknown Speaker
Or larvae for human consumption. He performs regular checks on the quality of his worms. Around 2 billion people around the world eat insects daily. But it's still a big taboo in Europe. Within five years, I think we all eat a couple of times a year.
John C. Dvorak
Insects.
Unknown Speaker
The worms are a sustainable source of energy containing 50% protein. They only need a fraction of the space water and feed that breeding higher orders of animals require their CO2 emissions are minimal. The larvae live for three months in these boxes where they consume grain. When they're large enough to be harvested, they're flash frozen and shipped to customers. Max Kramer and Baris Oezl are the founders of Bucksburger. The founders first encountered edible insects dressed a world trip seven years ago. That's how they got the idea to start their business. When we first told friends, family and acquaintances about our idea, most of them said we were crazy, that there's no.
Adam Curry
Way it would work. In the meantime, everybody thinks what we're doing is cool.
Unknown Speaker
And the next thing they say is, hey, when can we finally try it out? The ground mealworms are mixed with peas, water and a secret spice mixture. Their burger will lead to less meat being eaten. That will be good for the end environment because less grain will be used for cattle feed. And the insects are also climate friendly. A few restaurants in Belgium and the Netherlands already have Bucks burgers on their menu. The exotic hamburgers cost between 12 and €17.
John C. Dvorak
God, it costs a fortune.
Adam Curry
They're going to be subsidized.
John C. Dvorak
Well, your subsidized theory, I have to say, is probably the only thing that's going to save this industry. Oh, it's disgusting. I'll give you a clip of the day for that one.
Adam Curry
Oh, thank you. I found it by Accur. Someone. Someone.
John C. Dvorak
It's the most disgusting. That will be the disgusting clip of the day probably for a long time in our future.
Adam Curry
It's in our future. Yes.
John C. Dvorak
No, they've been promising. They've been threatening us with this forever.
Adam Curry
All right, back to a descriptor for raw milk. Remember, Louis Pasteur did not invent this to pasteurize milk because those people were drinking raw milk and they loved it.
Unknown Speaker
Bacteria and viruses. This is why Louis Pasteur back in the ancient 1800s, came up with pasteurization, because back then people would get sick. Raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. It's heavily. People.
Adam Curry
Raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. You're drinking sewage.
John C. Dvorak
So the natural exudation from a mammal milk, which women deliver too, I might add, this sewage. It's raw sewage.
Adam Curry
Raw sewage.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, that's. That's a fabulous report.
Adam Curry
It's not done.
Unknown Speaker
Raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. It's heavily fecal contaminated. Think about, you know, where the cows, you know, their, their feces are, you know.
Adam Curry
Well, hold on a second now. She thinks that the cows poop out of their udders. Or does she think the milk comes out of the anus? What? What what is she saying to me here? Think.
John C. Dvorak
She says that's what she's saying. One of the two. Think about where she says it says tamina with fecal material.
Adam Curry
Yes, but the UD. Nowhere near the fecal material. Celine. Dr. Celine. Is she confused with the. What is she confused by? This is very odd.
John C. Dvorak
A chicken and an egg. An egg has invented. It poops. And the egg comes out of the same poop hole.
Adam Curry
What is that? The clava. The color. The.
John C. Dvorak
It's a. It's a clava.
Adam Curry
Custa. Clava.
Unknown Speaker
People would get sick. Raw milk. Think of it as raw sewage. It's heavy.
Adam Curry
Cl. Cl. Thank you. Tr. All right, let's go.
Unknown Speaker
Heavily fecal contaminated. Think about, you know, where the cows, you know, their feces are. You know, this is not clean. You really want to be drinking pasteurized milk.
Adam Curry
It's not clean. The udders are super clean.
Unknown Speaker
And I'm gonna. Now I'm really not going near any pasteurized, unpasteurized milk.
Adam Curry
So he's so grossed out and so ignorant that he's like, oh, man. Oh, those udders are dirty. They're filled with.
Unknown Speaker
With poop.
Adam Curry
Wow, this is an undist.
John C. Dvorak
You're getting clip of the day for this baby.
Adam Curry
No, this clip of the day is for the clip custodian. God, for me? Yeah. Well, the clip custodians on it, man.
John C. Dvorak
This is cbs.
Adam Curry
Cbs. Last one.
Unknown Speaker
How concerned should the regular person watching here who isn't hasn't been on a farm recently be?
Adam Curry
If you haven't been on a farm recently, go out, go to a farm, shake your rancher's hand, learn about where the udder is.
Unknown Speaker
So if you're not. If you're not having direct contact with poultry or dairy cattle, those are the two types of animals that have been infected in the United States. If you're not drinking unpasteurized milk or raw milk, your risk as a member of the general public is pretty low right now. What?
John C. Dvorak
We're pretty low. Wait a minute. It's not zero.
Adam Curry
It's pretty.
John C. Dvorak
It's just pretty low.
Adam Curry
Pretty low. Pretty low. No, that's a percentage. Your favorite. Your favorite percentage is pretty low. It's low.
Unknown Speaker
Pretty low right now. What we're concerned about is if this continues to replicate and mutate and evolve, whether it's in mammals or humans, like dairy farm workers. That's when there's a risk of it evolving and adapting to humans and person.
Adam Curry
To person, spread, ah, back to the wet market.
John C. Dvorak
And it jumps and it devolves, which doesn't make sense.
Adam Curry
No, but it Dev. And then he says, oh, it jumps. It jumps. This is the wet market story that we were supposed to keep believing, but Fauci covered it up wrong. And so we figured it out and like, huh, lab. Okay. But no, wet market is. We're back to wet markets now.
Unknown Speaker
That's when there's a risk of it evolving and adapting to humans and person to person spread.
John C. Dvorak
And it jumps.
Unknown Speaker
And that's, and that's what we worry about. That's what can cause a pandemic. So it may not be today.
Adam Curry
Oh, pangolin.
Unknown Speaker
But say within the next 10 years if we allow this kind of thing to keep going. That's what we're worried about. And by then it's too late. If you haven't learned how to. Yeah, exactly.
John C. Dvorak
Thank you so much for being here.
Adam Curry
How to. How to. I don't know if you haven't learned how to. Just learn. I learned how to.
John C. Dvorak
If you haven't learned how to. And then he stops.
Adam Curry
Yes. Yes. How to lie. How to Lie for your For a Living.
John C. Dvorak
I like to discuss the Miss USA controversy with a couple of NPR clips.
Adam Curry
Oh, good, because I already brought it up that something was going on. Right. We talked about a few shows.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, you mentioned it.
Adam Curry
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
But this is like a something's going on, something's up. This is like a classic example of NPR not being able to twist the story to trump the story.
Adam Curry
So it's Trump to make it something Trump did.
John C. Dvorak
I think you may have guessed it, but let's go here.
Unknown Speaker
Now we turn to a scandal that's shaking up the beauty pageant world.
Adam Curry
Oh, man, it's already starting off great. The beauty pageant world? Oh, no.
Unknown Speaker
Miss USA and Miss Teen USA recently stepped down. The organization that runs both of these competitions is under scrutiny. Now, former Miss USA Noelia Voight cited mental health, while the former Miss Teen USA Uma Sophia Srivastava pointed to a misalignment of, quote, personal values within the organization. For more insight on this, we are joined here in studio by Amy Argot Singer. She's style editor at the Washington Post and the author of the book There She Was, the Secret History of Miss America. Amy, welcome. Thank you for having me. Amy, just for starters, can you briefly walk us through what we know so far about these resignations? We haven't gotten a lot of details. It seems as though both the former Miss USA and the former Miss Teen USA are probably bound up by non disclosure agreements. They've alluded to being limited in what they can say, but some details have trickled out. Just reading between the lines of their messages to the public on Instagram and by some comments that their mothers have given in interviews. And the general impression you have is that they feel like they were just shabbily treated by pageant management, that they were subject to criticism and disorganization. You've seen some phrases tossed about bullying, sexual harassment that wasn't taken seriously, things like that. But the precise details have not come out. The resignation statement that was put out by Noelia Voight, who is Miss usa, went viral. And followers online were pointing out that her statement's first 11 sentences started with letters that spelled out, quote, I am silenced, unquote. I mean, do you think that's Internet conspiracy theory or that she's trying to say something significant there for once? It does not seem to be Internet conspiracy theory. People close to her have said, yeah, this is how she feels. That was an intentional message. And that's the message we've gotten, is that this was somewhat coordinated. These young women talked to each other. Their resignations had been preceded by that of the social media manager for the organization.
Adam Curry
Wow, it's about time. This is. I've never understood why this is still a thing. I mean, it's. It seems so off in today's politically correct world to have beauty contests at all and to display women like. This is, of course, the season of reveal. And it'll. We'll find out about the Olympic Games. Games. How the. How the athletes are treated like just marketing meat. Marketing meat. That's all. That's all. These women are marketing meat for organizations that are corrupt and probably filled with creeps.
John C. Dvorak
Of course it would draw creeps because, you know, you go where the action is.
Adam Curry
Hey, there's action over there. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
So I am silenced as the first let you know first. I actually wrote a comment column for Mac User magazine years ago where I did that.
Adam Curry
You did. I am silenced. You did. You did one of those.
John C. Dvorak
I didn't say I'm silenced, but I had some message using the first letter of every sentence.
Adam Curry
What was it?
John C. Dvorak
I can't remember. It's happy April Fool's Day or something. I don't remember. The whole thing was to let down. I. I think I did a bunch of these jokes and I. One of year I resigned, which upset the publisher. But in the. But there was a message was in there. But I remember one time I did one that was a mirror image, which was the. I think one of my more creative April Fool's gags. But yeah, Using the first letter is not it. It's not a conspiracy when it spells out I am silenced. No, it's like, what kind of. You think it's a coincidence that she wrote this? So, okay, anyway, so now we go to part two, because we gotta get to the bottom of this. What's really going. Who's responsible?
Unknown Speaker
More quietly, though, a couple of longtime executives with Ms. USA stepped away in the past several months since the pageant management changed hands back in August. This is an organization that's in some upheaval and that goes back a long ways. Voight hasn't commented further on her resignation statement, but a longer version of that resignation letter was obtained by some news organizations. And in it, she accused the Miss USA organization of, quote, a toxic work environment that at best is poor management and at worst is bullying and harassment. Given what you know about this organization, about its history, did those charges surprise you? No, they really didn't surprise me. Part of that has to do with the fact that this was the pageant organization, Miss USA subsidiary of Miss Universe, that was owned in part by Donald Trump. I think we all Remember hearing in 2015, 2016, some of the accusations, some of the stories that came out about his behavior around contestants, the way he talked about them.
Adam Curry
Oh, my word. I. Man, you know what? I thought that, you know, did John forget, Did he forget about what was going on? But this also deserves a clip of the Day award.
John C. Dvorak
So NPR and Washington Post, they can't help themselves. They just can't do it.
Adam Curry
Of course, we had to take.
John C. Dvorak
It's Trump fault.
Adam Curry
You know what? You know, I know. I know what, what the problem was. I know what she's. What she couldn't say. I know what's going on. Half of the contestants are dudes. That's what's happening there. Yeah. You know what's really good? Particularly these, these new arrivals that come through.
John C. Dvorak
The newcomers.
Adam Curry
We'Re so xenophobic. These newcomers that come, they come enter the. The. The southern border, you know, they often have to swim across the Rio Grande to. For that, you know. Well, basically they get dropped off on the other side and it's like, okay, because they all have clean clothes, you know, everything's good to go, but you got it for the show. Please swim across the Rio Grande before you enter the Americas. And the New York City mayor has some thoughts about this.
Unknown Speaker
That states those jobs that we are in hiding, demand, we could expedite.
Adam Curry
How do we have a large body.
Unknown Speaker
Of people that are in our city and country that are excellent swimmers and.
Adam Curry
At the same time, we need lifeguards. The excellent swimmers.
John C. Dvorak
John, we need lifeguards. Is that what he said?
Adam Curry
Yes. And at the same time, we need lifeguards. And the only obstacle is that we.
Unknown Speaker
Won'T give them the right to rope to.
Adam Curry
To become a lifeguard. Because they're excellent swimmers. We know it. They swam across the Rio Grande. I mean, come on, make them lifeguards. I mean, that's urgent.
Unknown Speaker
That just doesn't make sense. But if we had a plan that say you have a shortage of food service workers and those who fit the criteria, we're going to expite. Expedite you.
Adam Curry
Yeah, because you know how to cook, right? I mean, you're good. We love that cuisine. You all are bringing here newcomers if.
Unknown Speaker
You have the experience that you are.
Adam Curry
A nurse, which you have a nursing.
Unknown Speaker
Shortage, and we would expedite you. And that's the same with lifeguards. So we have all these eligible people waiting to work with lifeguards.
John C. Dvorak
Do they employ.
Adam Curry
There's some lifeguard shortage. I mean, this is bull crap.
John C. Dvorak
By the way, you get clip of the day for the lifeguard clip.
Adam Curry
Oh, well, that's. Sometimes these things come so unexpected, but. Okay, I'll take. I didn't figure that one. Thank you.
John C. Dvorak
Lifeguards, I see.
Adam Curry
Had that clip from the last show. I mean, I didn't. I. It didn't make the cut.
John C. Dvorak
You never know. It's a sleeper.
Adam Curry
Didn't even make the cut. Now, Dr. Brian Hooker, he is from the Children's Defense Network. I think that's. That's Bobby, the Ops Medical Network. He was on the Dr. Drew show, and he had a slightly different take about this.
John C. Dvorak
Well, I think when we.
Unknown Speaker
When you look, you look at it at its core, you know, it is an economic disaster. It's an economic, you know, for the. For the farmers themselves that have to, you know, are being ordered to call these herds. It's an economic disaster, but it also promotes sort of alternative technologies. You know, I find it odd that a lot of this is happening by.
John C. Dvorak
The usda, but yet the USDA is.
Unknown Speaker
The one that has genetically modified, modified chickens that are genetically modified to be immune to influenza to bird flu. And so, you know, of course, you call the herds and then you can introduce a genetically modified product.
John C. Dvorak
And we're being trained more and more.
Unknown Speaker
As a society in the United States to accept more and more different types of GMOs.
John C. Dvorak
And I don't think that this is.
Unknown Speaker
Any accident at this point in time.
Adam Curry
I'm agreement, but I Like that. I like that. The GMO chicken.
John C. Dvorak
I'll give you a borderline clip of the day for digging that one up.
Adam Curry
And I actually did dig that one up.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, that's a surprise.
Adam Curry
Oh, please.
John C. Dvorak
What? Who was it? Give him credit.
Adam Curry
No, I would if I. If it was. I think I just stumbled upon it. I'm not sure. This was not a. Not a. I clipped this myself, let's put it that way. I'm sorry, myself. So GMO chicken. I like that idea. Dr. Jen has another agenda which was not really surprising because we've already had the mail in ballot. We have, you know, pharmaceutical overlords ramping up government contracts. And there's another one. Let's talk to America's favorite doctor. We can.
Unknown Speaker
This is making medical headlines of. Authorities have detected the presence of bird flu at a farm in Iowa.
Adam Curry
More than 4 million chickens.
Unknown Speaker
Should we be concerned?
John C. Dvorak
Oh, geez.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, here's the latest from the usda. And again, we've been in close contact with.
Adam Curry
There must be a memo that said.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, something's got to be up and saying, should we be concerned? It's got to be in that memo as a talking point. It has to be, because everybody's saying the exact same same thing.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, here's the latest from the usda. And again, we've been in close contact with the CDC on this. They are testing more. That's why you're seeing it more. There's no surprise here.
Adam Curry
Exactly. The more you spin up your. Your bogus PCR cycles and you're testing more, the more you're gonna see. You could test for HIV and get it from. From cows. Come on, people, we know this is.
Unknown Speaker
Bunk, but the latest is infected poultry entering the food chain. In this country, the risk is sought to be extremely low that entering the food chain. According to the usda, all poultry products are inspected rigorously, and they were before this outbreak for signs of disease. Bird flu, avian influenza is not, I repeat, is not transmissible by eating foods, including poultry, that have been properly prepared, properly cooked. So you want to make sure you're not cross contaminating. You want to cook according to regular, appropriate temperatures. And eggs, because we've been tracking this as well, have to be thoroughly cooked until the yolks are firm. No, over easy. No over easy. And we.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, please.
Adam Curry
Too many eggs dot com.
John C. Dvorak
Too many eggs dot com toomanyeggs.com's what Mimi says. You know, I do all this work. You guys never plug the book.
Adam Curry
You can't do them over easy. Rip Those pages off of your book. Too many eggs dot com. Rip the pages out of that book, you could die. If. If you have eggs that are over.
John C. Dvorak
Not to mention sunny side up.
Unknown Speaker
No, until the yolks are firm. No over easy. No over easy. And when you're talking about the dairy supply.
Adam Curry
Wait, wait, wait for it gets better.
Unknown Speaker
No raw or unpasteurized milk.
Adam Curry
No raw milk.
John C. Dvorak
Oh yeah.
Adam Curry
No milk milk. No raw milk.
Unknown Speaker
That should have been the case before avian food. So bottom line, if people want to avoid this altogether.
John C. Dvorak
Did you hit. Did you hear that? What she said? That should have been the case before the avian flu thing. Yeah, because in other words, hey, we don't like the idea of anyone having raw milk. So that should always be the case. Even if there's no avian flu. It's drinking sewage.
Adam Curry
Wait, there's more.
Unknown Speaker
And when you're talking about the dairy supply. No raw or unpasteurized. Yeah, that should have been the case before avian. So bottom line, if people want to avoid this altogether, what's the choice? Well, look again, we have to emphasize what the science and the facts say. Right now there is no evidence that this is a virus that can be transmitted via eating properly cooked food or drinking properly pasteurized milk. But obviously the options always need to be stated for people who are concerned plant based. Better for the environment. Environment. And probably will save you some money as well, at least temporarily. It's a good way to try out that diet. At the very least it's just an option.
Adam Curry
Yes, but she come comes in with the vegan angle.
John C. Dvorak
Holy mackerel. That's clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Thank you. I figured. And that it goes to clip custodian.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, it brings in the vegan angle at the end. Oh, you don't want to. You want to make sure when you can you imagine having a fried egg with the hardest hell yolk. I mean, what's the point?
Adam Curry
My mom used to she problem with runny egg yolks. She'd always. We'd go to her diner. I remember it so well. She's like, can you kill my eggs? I want them killed hard, burned. Burned all the way, no yolk. And then she put ketchup on it.
John C. Dvorak
Make scrambled eggs, then it's fine.
Adam Curry
No, but you can't have them too fluffy. Gotta have them hard, overcooked and dry. And don't you dare put any raw milk in there. Now here's the crazy thing, by the.
John C. Dvorak
Way, if there was some evidence that somebody got bird flu from raw milk or over easy eg it that there's.
Adam Curry
No evidence, although there's not a lot of reporting in the US per se about the Saudi Arabia de dollarizing. I'm just going to use that term by apparently not renewing the deal to only sell their oil in US dollars, making the US dollar the reserve currency. Well, I think that we're starting to nudge them a Little bit as CBS out of the blue, the CIA broadcasting system starts to bring story which includes the 28 pages that were not included in the 911 Commission Report.
Unknown Speaker
Oh yeah, the CBS News exclusive. The unnerving video outside the U.S. capitol filmed two years before the 911 attacks. Good evening, I'm Nora O' Donnell and thank you for being with us. Two decades ago the 911 Commission found that Al Qaeda acted alone, but victims families say that is not true. True. Pointing to this video and other evidence as proof they are suing Saudi Arabia, claiming its government provided crucial assistance to the hijackers and planners behind the September 11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega reports. A voice on the video says in Arabic, I am transmitting these scenes to you from the heart of the American capital, Washington. This video unsealed in federal court this week and obtained by 60 Minutes was recorded in the summer of 1999. Man behind the camera is Omar Al Bayoumi, who the FBI says was an operative of the Saudi Intelligence Service with close ties to two of the 911 hijackers. The video was filmed over several days. Bayoumi recorded entrances and exits of the Capitol security posts, a model of the building and nearby landmarks. In this portion of the video, Bayoumi points out the Washington Monument and says, I will get over there and report to you in detail what is there. He also notes the airport is not far away.
Adam Curry
So then they bring in a whole bunch of former spooks to confirm this. And this was probably related to Flight 93.
Unknown Speaker
Richard Lambert is a retired FBI agent who led the initial 911 investigation in San Diego where Bayoumi and the two hijackers lived temporarily before the attacks. He's now a consultant on the case filed by the 911 families. If you've ever flown into Washington D.C. one of the first things you see on the horizon is the Washington Monument. So if you know where your other targets are in terms of the Washington Monument, it helps guide you to your investigation. Intended target Federal investigators believe the hijackers on Flight 93 which crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania had the US Capitol as their likely target. The lawyers for the 911 families and former intelligence analysts we spoke to believe portions of the video show Bayoumi surveilling the Capitol as part of that plan. And in the video he references a quote. Plan. You said that in the plan.
Adam Curry
Plan?
Unknown Speaker
What plan? Who is he talking to? What do you think he's talking about? I think he's talking to the Al Qaeda planners who tasked him to take the pre operational surveillance video of the intended target. So this video is taken in late June and early July of 1999. What does that timing tell you? Well that means it was taken within 90 days of the time when senior Al Qaeda planners reached the decision that the capital would be a target of the 911 attacks. That's when Osama Bin Laden decided to approve Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's so called planes operation. In the days after 911 British police discovered the video during a raid on Bayoumi's UK apartment. They also seized Bayoumi's handwritten address book that the lawyers for the 911 family families say was filled with phone numbers of numerous senior Saudi officials who were in the government at the time.
Adam Curry
I don't believe any of this story of course but that's not the point. The point is. Ah, okay Saudi Arabia, we got your number.
John C. Dvorak
We'll go back to the 911 situation. At the time there was a lot of discussion about suing Saudi Arabia.
Adam Curry
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
And our, our government blocked it.
Adam Curry
Yes. Because we had no, no no you.
John C. Dvorak
Can'T sue them because they're our friends. And so it got blocked, never happened and then this. But we all knew that there was some, some information that was left out of the report and so which could be anything that could create. They had number of years to create. This whole thing could be like you think is maybe a fake. But yes, this is exactly right. This is a little pressure point because if Saudi Arabia got blamed and sued by all these, by the 3,000 thousand families that were harmed it would be a nightmare. That was the idea to prevent the nightmare. Now okay, you guys are going to screw us out of our petrodollar deal that you agreed to either re sign up or the nightmare begins. That's what this is.
Adam Curry
That's a little annoying fact.
John C. Dvorak
That was a good, that was a good find. I'll a give you clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Wow. Well thank you, appreciate it. Unexpected but I, I just came across it. I'm like hey yeah it's a winner. Let me clip that. So we have an election coming up in the UK on the 4th of July. Interesting date for them to choose that and already there's Lots of. Well, first of all, people are. Are so I guess they're apathetic, pathetic about it. They were like, oh, well, oh well, Labor's gonna.
John C. Dvorak
They're gonna give the government back to the Labor. Yes Party.
Adam Curry
Nigel Farage is out there with his, with his. What is it, the Freedom Party? What is he?
John C. Dvorak
I think it's a Reform Party or the New. It's got. He's. He created a new party and he's got lots of traction, that guy. I want to just make it off the. Just kind of a side comment here.
Adam Curry
Reform Party. That's what it is.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, the Reform Party. So we had spotted Nigel Farage Probably 12 years ago, 13 years ago on this show as a character that was worth following because he had these great.
Adam Curry
Speeches at the EU Parliament. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
And we got note after note from our Brits saying this guy's of no gonna go nowhere. You guys are idiots. You shouldn't be paying any attention to him at all. Well, let's see. Fifteen, almost 15 years later, this guy's still very important. We happen to be on top of it.
Adam Curry
Remember when they tried to kill him in the plane crash?
John C. Dvorak
I do remember that, yeah. Yeah. It didn't work.
Adam Curry
He'd been around. So anyway, Channel 4 did this, this massive hit piece on him. They went undercover and they discovered there's all kinds of racists in his party.
Unknown Speaker
We've gone undercover inside Nigel Farage's Reform UK campaign in Clacton and we recorded extremely offensive language, including this canvasser saying people seeking asylum should be shot.
Adam Curry
Get the animal coast there.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Adam Curry
With guns on the beach. Target practice.
Unknown Speaker
Racist language was repeatedly used here, directed at the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.
Adam Curry
It was good, is it?
Unknown Speaker
And homophobia from Faraj inner circle.
John C. Dvorak
You see that Generate flag on the front bonnet.
Unknown Speaker
What the old Bill doing promoting.
Adam Curry
My object is for us to become.
John C. Dvorak
The voice of opposition.
Unknown Speaker
He's promised a political revolution. Nigel Farage claims to speak for the forgotten many. The self styled leader of the People's Army.
Adam Curry
They've over opened up the borders to mass immigration like we've never seen before.
Unknown Speaker
This is the image Reform UK wants to portray. And yet some of the party's candidates have been accused of racism and extremism.
Adam Curry
So the guy.
John C. Dvorak
Wow.
Adam Curry
Yeah.
John C. Dvorak
I'm gonna give you a clip, borderline clip of the day for digging that one up.
Adam Curry
Well, that is so, so unexpected that I didn't even have it released.
John C. Dvorak
But the fact that they'd run a hit piece on him, I mean, you can go to the Democrat Party. And I mean, o' Keefe does this all the time. I mean, you can go to any group and it's like the man on the street interviews. You can make everyone sound like idiots. You can make everyone sound like geniuses. You can do whatever you want. This is all manipulation.
Adam Curry
Well, sure.
John C. Dvorak
I'm sure there's more than a few races who hate Sunak and there's plenty of room racism in the Democrat Party here and the Republican Party here and in the Black Lives Matter people. I mean, you can't get away from it. But to create a phony baloney hit piece based on this gambling going on surprise is bullcrap.
Adam Curry
The M5M, our mainstream media was really just totally understanding of the lack of interviews because elections aren't about policy. In fact, stating your policy is a very dumb move. No one wants to hear that. That can tank you. What people in America want, the way we elect our presidents, is the same way we choose our breakfast cereal. Vibes, man. Vibes.
Unknown Speaker
Candidates don't need us as journalists to get their message out. They don't anymore in this ecosystem. And the media were preoccupied, occupied with, like, how much access, how many conversations is she going to have? I don't know how much that matters. There is risk in talking to us. There's no doubt about that. Then you hear the criticism, oh, she has to do more interviews. She has to talk about policy. Insiders you're speaking to, they're sort of like, no, yeah, absolutely not. Does the campaign.
Adam Curry
No.
Unknown Speaker
I love you all, but I don't want her talking to you. All right? Now, remember what Elizabeth Warren did when she ran back in 2020. She had a white paper for every. Every policy position under the sun.
John C. Dvorak
And what happened?
Unknown Speaker
She collapsed in the primary. So the belief that perhaps you put more ideas on paper, that's a bad idea. The more details you share, the more your policies are going to get picked apart. Harris has changed this from being a policy election and more of like a movement, a cultural movement. It's a vibes election. That's right. Policy.
Adam Curry
Vibes.
Unknown Speaker
Vibes election.
John C. Dvorak
It's a vibes election.
Unknown Speaker
This vibes election that we're all feeling right now. It already felt like a vibes election before. Most elections are vibes elections. I think every election, frankly, is a vibes election. And I think there are really only.
Adam Curry
Two vibes that matter in American politics. One is hope and joy, and the other is fear and anger.
John C. Dvorak
Wow, that's. That is the best. I'm actually going to give you a borderline Clip. Because that's one of the better super cuts I've heard for a while.
Adam Curry
Thank you.
John C. Dvorak
So funny.
Adam Curry
Yeah, I love that. There's only two types of vibes, man. Hope and joy or fear. And what was the last thing that said? Fear and.
John C. Dvorak
Fear and anger.
Adam Curry
Hope and joy. And the other is fear and anger. Fear and anger. This is. This is crazy. So that's great. Let me just get back to Aurora because I have two quick clips from one of their council meetings. Not Aurora. I'm sorry. Springfield, Ohio. So this is the residents.
Unknown Speaker
And let me be clear, this is not a about race. This is about people being given the privilege of coming here from another country and having no respect for our people, our land, or our life's work. People living their life here the way they did in Haiti. Angry, stealing, polluting, living in filth and acting like animals. These are not civilized people. Opening containers in our grocery stores, helping themselves to what's inside and throwing the rest onto the shelf shelves and floors. Pulling off of the highway to publicly clean and gut the roadkill. Lying there in front of anyone that passes by. Stealing animals from farmers and leaving their severed heads at the site of an old school where children play, relieving themselves in public, making some barbaric stew out of the birds that live in our park. This is insanity and it has to stop.
Adam Curry
So nothing to see here. You're really exaggerating, lady. But this guy is my favorite.
John C. Dvorak
This guy is my favorite, by the way, that I. Because it was kind of out of the blue and it was a good clip. I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the day for that.
Adam Curry
Oh, well, you should have waited. No, you should. You should have waited because this is my favorite.
Unknown Speaker
They're in the park grabbing up ducks by their neck and cutting their head off and walking off with them and eating them like.
Adam Curry
And it's going to get bigger and.
Unknown Speaker
It'S only going to get worse. And y' all sitting up there in these chairs.
Adam Curry
Y' all all.
Unknown Speaker
Y' all need to get out here and do something. Y' all making hundreds of thousand dollars. Y' all need to put on a T shirt and some Crocs. And then y' all need to come.
Adam Curry
Out here in these streets and y' all need to. Need to go out here. And I'm out here before the police is. I love you got to put on a T shirt on some Crocs and get out here, people. Y' all need to do something, bro. Y' all really gotta stand on minutes. Y' all getting paid all this money.
Unknown Speaker
Just to wear a suit and sit in a chair. I don't think.
Adam Curry
I think it's.
Unknown Speaker
I think it's crazy, bro.
Adam Curry
That's where they come from and that's what they do.
Unknown Speaker
That's they country.
Adam Curry
I don't know what they got going on over there, but they can't do that over here. And if y' all just getting paid from it and then y' all ain't.
Unknown Speaker
Doing nothing about it, I think that's super weird, bro. Y' all gotta stand on business. Y' all gotta really, like, step up. Like, it's. It's lame, bro.
Adam Curry
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
I'm surprised that you're.
Adam Curry
That I. That I'm not all over it.
John C. Dvorak
Yeah, you're. You're the AI hater of the two of us.
Adam Curry
I am. I am the AI hater. Have you, have you seen the latest that they're doing with. With AI?
John C. Dvorak
No, I.
Adam Curry
Maybe there. It's Notebook LM is what it's called.
John C. Dvorak
Don't know it.
Adam Curry
So Notebook lm, I guess, is some kind of. It's like a closed loop AI system. So you can put in documents that, that only you care about and. And then you can do AI stuff with it, whatever that means.
John C. Dvorak
Query it, probably.
Adam Curry
Yeah, you could. Yeah, you can query it. But now they have an extra. I'm looking for it. I thought I had a link. I think I do now. You can put in an extra thing and you can, say, make a podcast out of these documents. Which, by the way, if it was any good, I would be all for it. But it makes these. Let me see. Oh, man, I hope I have this here.
John C. Dvorak
It makes a podcast?
Adam Curry
Yes, yes, it makes a podcast. Okay, so this, in this case, this guy put in a hundred thousand word document of like random. Nothing, of random text, titled it patent text, gave it to the notebook and listened. So this thing then makes a podcast. By the way, you know, I want.
John C. Dvorak
To stop you here and say I really admire the fact that you, you are you. You are the podfather. You keep track of everything that has anything to do with podcasting at the most minute level. I never heard of this.
Adam Curry
Somebody has to protect the medium.
John C. Dvorak
And that's actually the way you see it. That's what's funny.
Adam Curry
Yes, I do. Here, let's. Okay, so we've got another head scratcher this week.
Unknown Speaker
These. These patent files you sent in had me a little bit stumped, I gotta say.
Adam Curry
Yeah, it's.
Unknown Speaker
We've got a bunch of text files, okay. All named Patent, but with these little numbers tacked on. Right, right. Patent two, patent for that kind of thing. Interesting.
Adam Curry
And I open these things up.
John C. Dvorak
Why is that interesting? This.
Adam Curry
This is what is that interesting is what the AI thinks a podcast should sound like between two people.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, this is the podcast we're listening to?
Adam Curry
Yes. You're listening to the podcast. This is an AI dip.
John C. Dvorak
These are fake voices.
Adam Curry
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
And so we have a guy, and this is like a typical. This is like, fashioned after npr. Some guy.
Adam Curry
Exactly.
John C. Dvorak
And a dip who is going, oh, some moron.
Adam Curry
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
And. Okay, now I'm interested.
Adam Curry
Basically, pivot.
John C. Dvorak
The Pivot podcast, please start it over. Okay, I'll start over.
Unknown Speaker
Another head scratcher this week. These patent files you sent in had me a little bit stumped, I gotta say. We've got a bunch of text files all named patent, but with these little numbers tacked on. Right, right. Like patent two, patent four, that kind of thing. Interesting.
Adam Curry
And I open these things up, and.
Unknown Speaker
It'S line after line of binary. Oh, wow. So ones and zeros as far as the eye can see.
Adam Curry
Okay, so that's our challenge today.
Unknown Speaker
We are diving headfirst into the world of, well, binary code.
Adam Curry
Now, I think that what I like about this particular AI is it adds the uhs and the ums to it, but for some reason, the podcast format has to be someone taking the lead on talking and the other someone going, oh, yeah, yay. Right? Yeah, shoot. Let's do. Do. Yeah, let's do it.
Unknown Speaker
Do it. To see if we can crack this code and figure out what in the world is going on. Absolutely.
Adam Curry
But before we get too far, I.
Unknown Speaker
Think it might be helpful for some of our listeners to do a little bit of a binary one.
John C. Dvorak
Hold on. She's a little too. This is a. They got a tone. They got to turn her down a little bit. She's. She's it. Every phrase.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
She's throwing a bit in there. It's like, oh, ah. Yeah, there's too much of that. They gotta fix that. Hey, it's fixable.
Adam Curry
I'm looking. Looking forward to the day when we just throw a bunch of clips and show notes, stories into a bin. And then I stay in bed on Thursday and Sunday, and the show is just the show, just the very basics.
Unknown Speaker
What are we even talking about when we say binary code? Right. So at its simplest, binary is really just a way of representing.
Adam Curry
Now they're going to switch roles. She's talking and he's going to do the. Oh, yeah. Really? Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Using only two options. Okay, so instead of our 10 digits, like we use in our everyday lives, you know, 0 through 9.
John C. Dvorak
Right, right.
Unknown Speaker
Binary. Uses just 0 and 1.
Adam Curry
Got it.
Unknown Speaker
And those two digits, that's all we need to build even the most complex information. So it's kind of like a light switch. Exactly. It's either on or off. And that's it. One or zero. Yep.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, my God.
Adam Curry
I want to kill myself now.
John C. Dvorak
Okay, stop.
Adam Curry
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Well, thank you. It wasn't even intended to put it on the list today, but I'll take it.
John C. Dvorak
Unbelievable. Yeah, but I like the kibbutzing. The constant never ending. Not like we do. I interrupt each other kind of in a different way to stop things. But it's. But this is always encouraging.
Adam Curry
All right. Oh, yes. Okay. Oh, yeah.
John C. Dvorak
Good.
Adam Curry
Yeah, like, interesting. Yeah, Very good. Keep going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is why I have no fear of AI. I have this short clip where this is just one of those unbelievable things that she says. It's great.
Unknown Speaker
Earlier in the day, Harris made her first trip to the border in Arizona in years. Harris expressed a tougher stance on illegal immigration. She spoke with local border patrol leaders as they walked along the wall. There are consequential issues at stake in this election, and one is the security of our border. The United States is a sovereign nation, and I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them.
Adam Curry
It's somebody. It's just like, wow, okay.
John C. Dvorak
You know, the funny thing about that, I. I didn't get there. I saw that clip. I should have grabbed it. I'm glad you did, because I'm giving you a clip of the day because that is unbelievable.
Adam Curry
Oh, thank you very much. Well. Well, I have clips I think can outdo it.
John C. Dvorak
I don't think so.
Adam Curry
Well, I mean, this morning, not to.
John C. Dvorak
The height of hypocrisy.
Adam Curry
Oh, no, no, no, not. And by the way, for people who tune in, like, hey, I listen to that no agenda show. Sounds like they got an agenda. Yes. We're against idiots.
John C. Dvorak
We're against liars.
Adam Curry
Liars and idiots. Idiots. You know, going back to the initial prediction that we said this was theater and it would be fireworks in the sky and calm down, everybody. We're not in World War 3. I would like to show you the difference between your no agenda show and the culture war economy. And I hate to say it, but Scott Ritter is the one who said this. The entire Israeli package was based upon.
Unknown Speaker
Iranian defenses defined by S300 type capabilities. S300 is a Russian Service to air missile. The Russians just provided the Iranians with a significant number of S4 hundreds together with sophisticated electronic warfare package is going to jam the Israelis as they come in.
Adam Curry
Backed up by SU35 fighters.
Unknown Speaker
Now here's the thing.
John C. Dvorak
How many?
Adam Curry
Ryan has been trained on the operation of the S400?
Unknown Speaker
I'll give you a quick hit. None. Who's operating the S400 on Iranian soil? I'll give you another hint. The Russians.
Adam Curry
Who's flying the S35s? Not Iranian pilots.
Unknown Speaker
Russians. It's about Israel. To attack, Iran is going to have to go head to head with Russia. Think Israel wants to do that? You think Israel's ready to do that?
Adam Curry
Do you think the United States is.
Unknown Speaker
Willing to let them do that?
Adam Curry
Now what is Israel going to bomb?
Unknown Speaker
Are they going to bomb the nuclear site?
Adam Curry
That's the end of Israel.
Unknown Speaker
Israel disappears that quick. You understand? The first Israeli bomb that drops on Iran, over 500 missiles will immediately be fired. These are solid rocket fuel missiles.
Adam Curry
You can immediately reload, fire 500 more within 15 minutes.
Unknown Speaker
That's a thousand missiles impacting every strategic site in Israel.
Adam Curry
Within 30 minutes of the first Israeli bomb dropping, the Israelites Israeli airplane won't.
Unknown Speaker
Even be halfway home before his entire country is destroyed.
Adam Curry
That's going through the mind of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Unknown Speaker
You wonder why he didn't order the attack. Because he can't order the attack.
Adam Curry
He's got nothing to attack with. Iran holds all the cards. Okay, wow.
John C. Dvorak
Wow. Okay, okay. Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Oh, even.
John C. Dvorak
Wow.
Adam Curry
Despite the crappy audio. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
John C. Dvorak
This classic. This Scott Ritter is one of those guys. He's a plant. I mean, he's entertaining to listen to and he does make some interesting points on certain specific shows he keeps showing up on. But that's the example right there of what we think is going on, which is backed up by what's going on and what other people think is going on, which is some sort of op. This is psyop. That what he just said.
Adam Curry
Yep.
John C. Dvorak
But I just want to say because I've been wondering, I've been watching and looking for what are they going to do? How are they going to explain this whole thing, this, this event. And this is the kind of the kicker to the analysis, which is they finally came to the conclusion that they're going to blame Biden.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
Adam Curry
Today explained.
Unknown Speaker
Sean Ramstrom here with Andrew Prokop senior political correspondent@vox.com who's here to tell us what happened last night and this morning. Andrew, what happened last night and the.
Adam Curry
This morning?
Unknown Speaker
Well, four years after Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 presidential election and left office in disgrace, the American people chose to return him to power and gave him another term in office. And why did the American people choose that? That is a debate that is going to be very heated over the coming days and weeks and months and years. But my viewpoint is that this election was not so much about either of the candidates on the ticket and more about President Joe Biden.
John C. Dvorak
Come on, man.
Adam Curry
Biden. Wait, did you put that in or is that in this report?
John C. Dvorak
That was actually in the report.
Adam Curry
This is npr.
John C. Dvorak
Yes.
Adam Curry
Oh, then yes.
John C. Dvorak
Well, they're listening to our show.
Unknown Speaker
More about President Joe Biden.
John C. Dvorak
Come on, man.
Unknown Speaker
Biden is, simply put, one of the most unpopular presidents in history and he has been for some time. His approval rating, last I checked, was somewhere around 38%. And again, it's been there for some time. And you know, I think there was a hope among Democrats that this year that Biden's bad approval was just because he was old or just because of his vibes and that if they put in a younger, newer face, then they wouldn't have problems with the electorate, with the public, that they would win.
Adam Curry
Oh, I'm glad you delayed the break for this. This is good. This is good stuff.
John C. Dvorak
They're just going to pile on. Pile. Poor Joe, because go back to the basic thesis. Joe sabotaged the party by putting in Camelot.
Adam Curry
Yep.
John C. Dvorak
Because they didn't want her. They were going to do a mini convention or something and get a bunch of something going on and get somebody else in there.
Adam Curry
Gavin.
John C. Dvorak
Well, or Shapiro or, or Whitmer. There's a bunch of them. Probably Whitmer would be more likely. Yeah, tell me about it. But they got sabotaged by Biden and then Biden further sabotaged him with the garbage comments and all. Everything he can do to make sure that. So now this is the. Okay you pulled that. You want your legacy. Here we go. This is going to be your legacy. You, you, you. They're going to just. This is just pathetic. This is all.
Adam Curry
I'm going to relent to the troll room. They want to give you a clip of the day for this. I think they're right. I think they're right. This is something that happened earlier in the week which went completely underreported.
Unknown Speaker
Russia has closed one of the biggest gas pipelines to Europe, Nord Stream 1. It begins in northwest Russia, passes through the Baltic Sea and empties into Germany. It is the longest subsea pipeline in the world. This pipeline keeps Europe running, especially Germany. So. So this shutdown has spooked the German government. They fear the lights could go off. So Europe is going all out in preparation. Their first order of business is violating their own sanctions. This is very interesting. Let me explain. Russia needs a specific turbine to repair the North Stream pipeline. But that turbine is not in Russia. It was sent to Canada for repairs. If Canada returns it, it would violate Western sanctions. If not Russia, Russia could drag out the shutdown. The Western plan is to achieve energy security. And their chosen method, violating their own sanctions on Russia.
Adam Curry
Now, I don't know about you.
John C. Dvorak
Wait. Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
Oh, well, gee, thank you.
John C. Dvorak
I know. I never heard this either. Why are we being. Why is this information. And you know, we have CBS and NBC and ABC doing all this news reporting. What are they talking about that they don't talk about?
Adam Curry
Talking about trans and race. That's all they do. They're just gaslighting everybody. Oh, trans rights. Oh, race. Oh, misogyny. Meanwhile, death cannot be a coincidence. That. And this happened just before the election. Russia like. Or maybe it was right after the election. Russia. Click. I'm sorry, we're just cutting off your gas because we don't have that turbine. And we know about this turbine story because it popped up months and months ago, that the turbine has to be repaired and it has to happen in Canada. And Canada's like, no, we can't do that. But all of this has thrown the. The German parliament into disarray.
John C. Dvorak
Well, this is about the new meetup.
Unknown Speaker
Yes.
John C. Dvorak
I thought we just ended a cop and another one started right away.
Adam Curry
Yeah, well, we had the biodiversity diversitae.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, that's what it. Okay, I keep getting confused. I'm having too many of these meetings.
Adam Curry
Yeah, now we have. So that was COP 16. Biodiversity COP.
John C. Dvorak
Oh, different COP.
Adam Curry
This is COP 29 in Baku.
John C. Dvorak
Yes, here we go.
Adam Curry
An annual global climate conference is underway in Azerbaijan. The priorities Azerbaijan is money to help.
Unknown Speaker
The places hit hardest by climate change.
Adam Curry
NPR's Michael Koplan. Due to climate change, people all over.
Unknown Speaker
The world face catastrophic threats from climate change. But the president of this year's United nations meeting, Moktar Babayev, put the spotlight on developing countries, whether you see them or not. People are suffering in the shadows. They are dying in the dark. And they need more than compassion.
Adam Curry
Hold on a second. Just for that alone, I'm giving you clip of the day.
John C. Dvorak
That is.
Adam Curry
Yeah, that's great. The guy is a poet. He's A poet.
John C. Dvorak
They're dying in the dark. Dying in the dark. They're eating the dogs.
Adam Curry
No. They're suffering in the shadows. They're dying in the dark.
Unknown Speaker
United nations meeting. Mukhtar Babayev put the spotlight on developing countries. Whether you see them or not. People are suffering in the shadows. They are dying in the dark. And they need more than compassion.
Adam Curry
Suffer. This guy is an alliteration. Nutjob. Suffering in the shadows. Dying in the dark.
Unknown Speaker
Developing nations don't bear much responsibility for the climate pollution that's raising global temperatures, but they're getting hit with some of the worst impacts, like more extreme heat waves and flooding from torrential rain. So wealthy countries that built their economies using fossil fuels promised more than a decade ago to help their poorer neighbors pay to cut climate pollution and prepare for weather risks. Leaders at this year's climate talks are under pressure to come up with a new funding target that's a lot more ambitious than the last one, which was set at $100 billion a year.
Adam Curry
These numbers may sound big, but they are nothing compared to cost of inaction.
Unknown Speaker
It's not clear where the money will come from.
Adam Curry
Did he say coastal erection? What is going on here?
John C. Dvorak
Coastal erections cost a lot.
Adam Curry
They sound big, but they are nothing.
Unknown Speaker
Compared to coastal cost of inaction. But it's not clear where the money will come from. The UN said recently that developing countries need around $215 billion every year in this decade alone to adapt to climate impacts. That doesn't count the cost of cutting climate pollution or compensating developing countries for losses and damage they're already suffering.
Adam Curry
No, brother. And then the third reason, RFK Jr. Is the most dangerous man in the universe. And, you know, I'll also bring all the medical journals, the New England Journal of Medicine, a Lancet, jama, into the Justice Department as soon as I appoint an ag. And I'll say to them, you guys are part of a racketeering syndicate. You're collaborating with these pharmaceutical industry to lie to the American public about the efficacy and safety of these products. And you're causing enormous harm. And we are going to sue you both civilly for damages, and we're going to to sue you criminally unless you come up with a plan right now as to how you're going to stop doing that. So I have, like, I have a hundred things that I'm going to do immediately.
John C. Dvorak
Okay. Yes. Clip of the day, by the way.
Adam Curry
So thank you.
John C. Dvorak
So, yeah, you are absolutely correct. This guy is going to get shot.
Adam Curry
Well, this is why I'm glad he's eating burgers with Trump on the plane. Keeping him very close. And you know what? Whenever RFK juniors walk around, just have Elon walk in front of him. That would make me feel better. The first buddy. Have the first buddy walk in front of him. I mean, and. And go, Bobby, this is. This is fantastic.
John C. Dvorak
You think the media would be. Because, you know, the traditionally journalists were all for this sort of thing because. Because it's fun. But no. No. They're poo pooing it. This is what he. That last clip in particular, where he's going to go after these bogus journals, which we've noticed these things have pulled some stunts recently. They can't do that.
Adam Curry
No.
John C. Dvorak
They have to be called to task. This is ridiculous. Kennedy. Yeah, Kennedy's got to get in now that more than ever now she's playing. Those three clips are fundamental.
Adam Curry
When you need to kickstart the economy, what do you do? It's what we always do. Every. Every nation throughout history. We need to kickstart the economy. Let's turn to war.
John C. Dvorak
And the way you can manufacture stuff.
Adam Curry
That gets blowed up.
John C. Dvorak
So who better to sell the population down?
Adam Curry
Who better to sell it than our friend. Our friend from the lowlands, remarkably, is here to tell you what we must do. Europe. Because it is not safe. It is not safe. We must be very careful. Our deterrence is good. It's good for now. For now. But it's tomorrow. I'm worried about it. I'm very worried about tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. The sun will not come out tomorrow. We are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years. What could be coming in four to five years? I don't know. Danger is moving towards us at full speed. Danger. Danger is moving towards us at full speed.
John C. Dvorak
Why does it take so long then?
Adam Curry
Full speed? Five years is coming from a very far place away. We must not look the other way. No. We must face it. Face it. What is happening in Ukraine could happen here too. It could happen here too. Don't you understand? And regardless of the outcome of this war, we will not be safe in the future unless we are prepared to deal with danger. You must be prepared for danger. We will not be safe. What can we do about it? How must we be sinking? We can do that. We can prevent the next big war on NATO territory and preserve our way of life. How do we do it? This requires us all to be faster and fiercer. Yes. This time to shift to a wartime mindset. And turbocharged what our defense Production. Wait, wait, wait. The payoff.
John C. Dvorak
What a fanatic. You, by the way, give yourself clip of the day for pulling this one out.
Adam Curry
Oh, man. Oops. Hold on. What happened there? Oh, a million things went wrong at the same time. I'm sorry. Clip of the day. I'll tell you. Yeah, no, I'm taking it. I'm taking it.
Unknown Speaker
Clip of the day.
Adam Curry
All right, listen to the kicker. Listen to the kicker. This time to shift to a wartime mindset and turbocharge our defense production and defense spending. Remember when they said we won't even have a European army? Now we have a defense production, a defense military industrial complex, and collectively, we have a war mindset. I want everybody to have a war mindset. I have people in the Netherlands sending me article after article after article about how to prepare preppers, literal prepper articles in mainstream magazines and newspapers in the Netherlands. How you need to have water, what kind of canned goods you need. Because, you know, with the war mindset, it could happen. It is coming our way. They are psyop topping Europe.
John C. Dvorak
Wow.
Adam Curry
Big time. It's. It's. It's. It's pathetic.
John C. Dvorak
Anyone gonna eat this meatloaf?
Adam Curry
Good times, good memories.
John C. Dvorak
Dynamite.
Adam Curry
I mean, I don't want to pat ourselves on the back, but because it is, after all, a Gitmo nation community production. Everybody helps out so much, but, I mean, it's just. It's good, man. These and these clips of the day, it's. When. When do we actually do. Remember when we started with clip of the day?
John C. Dvorak
I think it's when someone sent a jingle in the clips of the day.
Adam Curry
Jingle, you probably said, that's the clip of the day. And then someone sent it a jingle.
John C. Dvorak
I should probably look that up maybe. Yeah. Because I always like to say stuff like that.
Adam Curry
Thank you again to our executive producer Gus Raya for putting that together for us. We highly appreciate that, and I think we can probably do another 15 years worth of these things. Bingit IO Sirdinonymous. Thank you for your wonderful system that you've put up for us. And of course, we're looking forward to being back with you on Thursday. In the meantime, coming to you well, really from Nashville, Tennessee, and looking forward to be back in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.

Adam Curry

In Episode 1767 titled "Best Clips of The Day," hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak present a curated compilation of notable media clips from 2023 and the first half of 2024.

[06:36] Adam Curry: "It is so incredible the difference between then and now."
Analysis: Curry and Dvorak critique mainstream media outlets like ABC and CNN for their handling of RFK Jr.'s interviews, suggesting that the selective editing of his statements unintentionally amplified his anti-vaccine message.
