John C Dvorak (00:00):
It's hot. Adam curry.

Unknown (00:02):
John C Dvorak, it's Thursday,

Adam Curry (00:04):
August 29 2024 this is your award winning give our
nation media assassinationEpisode 1690

Unknown (00:10):
This is no agenda, very

Adam Curry (00:13):
demure, very mindful, and broadcasting live
from the heart of the Texas newcountry here in FEMA Region,
number six in the morning,everybody. I'm Adam curry from

John C Dvorak (00:22):
Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
wondering what the hell Kamalasaid in the interview that's
been taped and edited. I'mJohnson black.

Adam Curry (00:35):
You barely made it through it. It was hard. It was
hard. When is that? Air Tonight?

John C Dvorak (00:41):
Yeah, airs tonight at nine Eastern. It'll
be groovy. It'll suck. It'll beall edited down. And you, CNN, a
bunch of journalists are goingalong with the program. Oh,
whatever you say, we'll cut thisout. We'll cut that out. We'll
take the this and that. It'sgonna be

Adam Curry (00:56):
who just who says those who says they won't
sabotage her. You never know. Wedon't know who's playing what
these days.

John C Dvorak (01:03):
Do I agree with that theory? Yeah, anything. In
fact, the latest thing withKennedy, I do have a Kennedy, a
quick, quick Kennedy thing thatnobody seems to want to point
out. And I'm going to point itout on on Jen Psaki show, Carrie
Kennedy came out to bitch abouther brother. Yeah, she

Adam Curry (01:22):
has the same voice.

John C Dvorak (01:24):
Well, that was the joke I was,

Adam Curry (01:27):
yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You said. No one wants to
talk about it. Everyone

John C Dvorak (01:34):
was a hint.

Adam Curry (01:37):
Is that? Now, is that genetic? I thought that he
had some kind of,

John C Dvorak (01:40):
well, the Yeah, it's a just, it's called a
spasmodic dysphoria or somethinghas got some crazy name, but
it's play Kerry Kennedy. First Igot a clip here. Yep, I can't
understand a word of her. By theway,

Unknown (01:54):
I completely out and separate and dissociate myself
from from Robert Kennedy Jr, andthis flagrant and inexplicable
effort to desecrate and trampledset by her tonight, my father's
memory.

Adam Curry (02:12):
We shouldn't be laughing.

John C Dvorak (02:13):
She can't help it. No, I'm not laughing at the
fact that we're laughing thatshe can't get what she's trying
to get out. She couldn't say it.But nobody has pointed this out,
except you just now, oh, she hasthis same disorder and and it, I
looked into it, so I read aboutit. Dr Dvorak is all kinds of

(02:35):
different things. One out of50,000 people have

Adam Curry (02:38):
it. How about this? Is it caused by inbreeding? No,

John C Dvorak (02:42):
that's the thing. There is no evidence that
there's anything genetic aboutit. So wow, what are the odds
that somebody else in the familywould have it, unless it is
genetic, and they've got it allwrong? No,

Adam Curry (02:54):
stay away from Miami sport. I guess there's something
in the water up there that's

John C Dvorak (02:58):
screwy about the fact that she has the same
ailment. But anyway, but back tothe other thesis. What so start
looking into it. I think it wasBreitbart or a Daily Caller. I
think maybe Daily Caller thatbrought out the fact that it was
Cheryl Hines that told Bobby totalk to Trump.

Adam Curry (03:19):
Yeah, the daily call. Well, try. He also talked
about it on Tucker's interview,which was a good interview,

John C Dvorak (03:25):
yeah,

Adam Curry (03:25):
did you see it? Did you see the whole thing?

John C Dvorak (03:27):
No, I did not. But I know about the situation,
and since she's she's alreadybitched about the fact that he's
joined forces with Trump. What'sgoing on here?

Adam Curry (03:38):
What do you mean? Well, she's

John C Dvorak (03:40):
first. She says that she told him that, you
know, he didn't want to talk toTrump because it would upset
her. She's no, no, no, go aheadtalk to him. So he talks to
Trump, and they make a deal. Andnext thing you know, he's he's
on the Trump you know,

Adam Curry (03:53):
this position, this is so interesting. We had a
dinner last night with some ofthe some of our friends who who
now actually think that the partof RFK is played by JFK. JR,
yeah, but, but they said thefirst thing because, you know,
we sit down. We haven't seen himfor a couple weeks. Sit down

(04:13):
there. He's a plant. He's aplant. RFK, Jr's a plant. He's
there to ruin everything, as isTulsi. So, which is what you're
implying? Well, okay, you'reimplying that he's a, you know,
I know he's

John C Dvorak (04:32):
not, but he's not a plan. He's, I think Cheryl,
I've, we've felt that he, shemay be his handler, he, we know
it's a daughter in law. I thinkthat's a CIA person.

Adam Curry (04:43):
Oh, yeah,

John C Dvorak (04:46):
Tulsi is, I think she's in the 321 or she's in
some group, which is aintelligence intelligence
operation. Well,

Adam Curry (04:56):
let's recall that RFK Jr said he wanted to clean.
Not the CIA. And so we have theuncle Don old school CIA, and
then we have the woke nut jobCIA. But I think it goes much
deeper. I mean, much muchdeeper. Just, you know, I've

(05:16):
been reflecting on this, and youknow, the title of the show is
no agenda. But at this point,all the wickedness and these,
these nasty, horrible people,just they're, they're
narcissistic psychopaths. Theyreally are psychopaths,

(05:36):
psychopaths, and they've turnedour country into a robber's den.
I mean, the whole everythinghere, just this is how it works,
all the way down the line. Somy, my other stepdaughter, is
coming in for my birthday, whichis very nice. She's coming in
from Chicago. And so she textsTina this morning. Says, Oh man,

(05:57):
the TSA is now looking you know,you have, you get that picture
taken in the TSA line. Now youcan opt out of it, but of
course, most people don't, andif you're if the picture that
they take of you does not matchthe picture on your ID, you're
taken out of the line. This isnew, and people are freaking out

(06:18):
about it, even though it'ssupposed to be a test, and you
don't have to do it. And this isand by the way, I hate the game,
not the players, because we haveplenty of TSA agents, and I'm
sure they're just as annoyed bythis. TSA just tweeted the other
day randomly because it hasn'tcome up for at least nine or 10
months. The tweet reads, peanutbutter is a liquid. We said what

(06:40):
we said? It

John C Dvorak (06:41):
was a whole segment on the on the gut felt
show about this

Adam Curry (06:45):
screw, these people Screw this, all of it, but
there's a liquid screw, thehigher rationale, yeah, okay,
yeah. I mean, yes, I've seen therationale for but it's beyond
this. Beside the point. Thisstems back to 2007 when a couple
of nut jobs had some things thatthey never actually mixed and

(07:06):
never exploded on the

John C Dvorak (07:08):
plane, yeah, well, that's like the shoe
bomber, same thing, yeah, from

Adam Curry (07:12):
firecrackers in his heel. You know. Meanwhile you
got people fighting onairplanes, beating on each other
and punches beating on eachother. It's, it's time to clean
this up. And I, I choose tobelieve RFK Jr. I choose to
believe that he is 70 years old.And he says, Hey, I think I can

(07:34):
save some kids. And I'm all forit, because in 10 years, I'm
going to be 70, there's going tobe no one left for Social
Security and Medicare is goingto be done. There'll be no one
working that will have no morekids. I know you may not care
anymore, but I care. I don'tcare

John C Dvorak (07:56):
anymore. Close the hatch.

Unknown (07:59):
Close the hatch behind us.

John C Dvorak (08:01):
So the that's funny. So the possibility that
the two of them coming in, twostrong characters with a fan
base,

Adam Curry (08:13):
and at Tulsi, I think she's Yeah, no,

John C Dvorak (08:16):
I say the two of them. Oh, yeah, okay.

Adam Curry (08:19):
I said

John C Dvorak (08:19):
the two of them coming in, Tulsi and and
Kennedy, both with some sort ofintelligence connections, may be
there to keep Trump from doingthe screw ups that he's done in
the past, which like hallelujah,yes, exactly, hiring Your your

(08:39):
buddy Burks,

Adam Curry (08:41):
my buddy. Oh, now it's my buddy. Okay, oh, Fauci

John C Dvorak (08:45):
and people and people like John Kelly. And I
was looking into John Kelly,it's like, Bolton. How about
Bolton? Oh, Bolton. Late in thegame, God, Bolton. By the time
Bolton came around, you thinkhe'd have a clue. So

Adam Curry (09:00):
this whole op, that is Kamala Harris, which it is.
And of course, the media lovesthis. Look at all the polls,
neck and neck. She's a littleabove Trump. We've got a horse
race. People advertise now. It'slike, oh, okay,

John C Dvorak (09:13):
advertise now spend your money. We don't want
to see anything left in thecoffers. We're the media,

Adam Curry (09:17):
and you can't all of it. All media is now no good,
and we'll get to telegram in amoment. But I need some of your
historic knowledge for this.Eric PP, who's one of the
developers on podcasting 2.0 hesent me a documentary, and it's
called, Let me see. It's calledthe ball of confusion, and it's

(09:39):
about the 1968 DNC. And of

John C Dvorak (09:44):
course, now there's a lot of a lot I may
have seen this documentary Well,brings about. These

Adam Curry (09:49):
are very short clips, but I just want to get
your historic knowledge, becauseHubert Humphreys was, of course,
there at the DNC in. And where'sHubert Humphrey where was Hubert
Humphreys from Minnesota?Exactly. So listen to what
Hubert Humphrey was talkingabout back then in 1968 at the

(10:11):
DNC, he was

Unknown (10:13):
a real optimist in politics, and he called it the
politics of joy. And if everthere was a phrase that didn't
fit 1968 it was that here
we are the way politics ought tobe in America, the politics of
happiness, the politics ofpurpose and the politics of joy.

(10:35):
And that's the way it's going tobe to all the way from here on
out.
He believed in the Johnsondomestic policies. His conundrum
was Vietnam.

Adam Curry (10:48):
So very similar. You know, this is history not
repeating, but rhyming rightdown to, well, this blew me
away. So of course, we had Nixonin, not at the DNC, obviously,
but Nixon in the race. Let'sjust replace Nixon right now for
Trump in this clip,

Unknown (11:04):
the charge against Nixon was he couldn't win.
George Romney withdrew beforethe first primary in New
Hampshire. Rockefeller didn'tamount to much, so he was really
running against himself. One ofthe things that now is almost an
accepted fact is that Nixon hada quote, secret plan to end the

(11:26):
Vietnam War. That he had utteredthese words, he never said them.
The story, as I understand it,is that Rockefeller told a
reporter that Nixon's runningaround saying he has a secret
plan, and the reporter reportedit in Nixon's mouth. And for
years, Nixon sought to dispelthat, said he never said it. Now

(11:51):
that sounds

Adam Curry (11:51):
a lot like Judy Woodruff saying, oh, Trump told
Netanyahu to keep it going sothat he could stop the war.

John C Dvorak (11:59):
Right? Which he had to walk back, which he

Adam Curry (12:01):
had to walk back. But then this clip makes it even
more interesting. In the contextof Trump and Bibi Netanyahu,

Unknown (12:08):
we now know that Richard Nixon had asked Anna
Chennault, who was the chairmanof the Republican women, for
Nixon to be a back channel tothe South Vietnamese to
encourage them not toparticipate in peace talks in
Paris under the Lyndon Johnsonadministration, because they
would get a better deal with theRichard Nixon administration if,

(12:31):
in fact, Richard Nixon played ahand in curtailing the peace
talks in Paris. There's no doubtthat that's a violation of the
Logan Act. And the Logan Actessentially prevents American
citizens from getting in the wayof American foreign policy.
It is essentially treason. Now,Nixon, even though he was a

(12:52):
former vice president, was aprivate citizen at that time, so
he would have been covered bythe Logan Act. LBJ was furious.
Contacting
a foreign power in the middle ofwar,
and it's a damn bad mistake.
When he heard what Nixon'speople at least were doing and
what Mrs. Chenault was doing, hewas deeply angry. He wanted to

(13:17):
expose Nixon, but realized thatif he did so would be obvious
that he knew because of illegalwiretapped.

Adam Curry (13:25):
I just love this. So that's exactly what

Unknown (13:28):
I think about a den of thieves.

Adam Curry (13:29):
Yes, yeah. So you know, perhaps Trump is being
wiretapped at Mar a Lago. JudyWoodruff hears about it, you
know, she thinks it's fromAxios, because the old bag can't
remember. Sorry to be ageistabout it. And everyone's like,
Oh, we can't let anybody knowthat we actually know what's

(13:51):
going on. Yeah,

John C Dvorak (13:53):
well, they wiretapped him at Trump Tower,
and they made a big fuss aboutthe fact that only we didn't,
even though it turned out thatthey did, and it was discovered
that they did, but they deniedit. This is ridiculous.

Adam Curry (14:05):
And then this, this one, of course, this is what LBJ
did seven days before theelection.

Unknown (14:13):
I have now ordered that all air, naval and artillery
bombardment of North Vietnamcease.

Adam Curry (14:24):
Yeah, that would be perfect for just say, sounds
like Joe, even you orderedIsrael stop bombing. And my,
how, think this is the last one.My, how things have changed
since the DNC of 1968 whenreporters were actually there,
reporting on protests and whatwas going on. And this is a

(14:49):
famous clip. I'd forgotten allabout it. This is Dan, rather,
who was trying to report onprotests inside the DNC Mayor

Unknown (14:57):
Daley really did have. Wounds in that convention hall,
and any delegate who got out ofline or started indicating that
he or she was going to dissent,generally speaking, was either
shown the door or was beaten up.
Take your hands off of me unlessyou intend to arrest me. Don't.
Don't push me, please. But don'tpush me. Take your hands off

(15:21):
him, even unless you in arrestme. Wait a minute. Wait a
minute. Walter, as you can see,I'm sorry
to be out of bed, but somebodybelt him in his stomach doing
that. What happened is a Georgiadelegate, at least he had a
Georgia delegate sign on. Wasbeing hauled out of the hall. We
tried to talk to him to see why,who he was, and what the

(15:43):
situation was, and at thatinstant, the security people,
well, as you can see, put me onthe deck. I didn't do very
well. I think
we've got a bunch of thugs here.Dan,

Adam Curry (15:53):
so you know, contrast that with the 2024 DNC,
where people hold up aside,there's no reporting on it from
the mainstream, only someone whohappened to have a cell phone
and because they got the thugsin there, everyone's under
control. Shut up, shut up andplay along. This is the game.
We're all in. It joy. It's joy,people, the politics of joy.

John C Dvorak (16:17):
Yeah, you know, John chancellor was also beat up
at the at the who was JohnChancellor. He was a very famous
correspondent. I think he was onNBC. There was a good, yeah,
there were that report of fromwhat, rather, was one of many.
And they were out therereporting, and they were
actually doing a real job of it,as opposed to today, where you

(16:38):
just have a bunch of, in fact,what they what the Democrats did
in this convention was bring ina bunch of influencers, yes,
yes, crawling with them, yes,

Adam Curry (16:50):
yeah. It's, it's modern political warfare. So I
kept looking for joy. And thereis a joy, yeah, because

John C Dvorak (16:58):
she's on MSNBC.

Adam Curry (17:02):
Oh, joy. Joy now kept looking for the politics of
joy, and this, these things justhappened in the past four
months.

Unknown (17:10):
Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign is being
propelled by the Black joymovement, which emphasizes
celebrating Black humanitybeyond trauma and oppression,
and this has resonated deeplywith her supporters in the face
of political challenges andracial identity debates. Yes,

Adam Curry (17:25):
this is the black joy. There's even an exhibit in
Tennessee. We only

Unknown (17:30):
seem to truly focus on black people's trauma, and while
that is valid, while that isimportant, and while that needs
to be studied, so does our joy,highlighting and showcasing our
ability and our audacity to findjoy in spite of everything that
has been thrown at us, issomething that we should not
only celebrate but honor.

Adam Curry (17:52):
And of course, we had a black joy Parade, which
you and I missed. What is blackjoy?

Unknown (17:57):
Black joy is the joy of not only being black, but just
the culture that comes with thisblack joy, to me, means the
ability to express yourselfauthentically. Us. Being
able to come here is superimportant for the children, for
the seniors, for everybody
in between. We're
bringing Oakland to the world.This is what we're like on
everyday basis. But we wanteverybody to see

(18:19):
the black joy that we have
we don't spend enough timecelebrating ourselves. We don't
spend enough time just likebasking in our own glory, if you
will.

John C Dvorak (18:28):
So it's all subversive. We should all be
basking in our own glory.

Unknown (18:33):
It's all subversive.

John C Dvorak (18:35):
These people don't spend enough time. Adam,
basking glory. No, we

Adam Curry (18:39):
should do that more often on weekends? Oh, no, we
work on weekends. This is thiswhole campaign, the media, the
entire administration, all ofall of the agencies. I mean, I
don't know if we can ever, if wecan ever reset all of this, but
man, what a bunch of jag offs,all of them. It's all just

(19:00):
corrupt and narcissists andsociopaths, psychopaths and
sociopaths, they're crazy andcrazy, I tell you,

John C Dvorak (19:14):
and it's being seems to be being. It's
encouraged by social media.

Adam Curry (19:20):
Yes, yes, it is. And

John C Dvorak (19:22):
I and I'm part of it. You are. I mean, I admit to
it, yeah. I mean, I'll take alook at these, these tick tock,
mainly, yes, these psychos thatare on tick tock with their, you
know, guys that pretend to bewomen or want to be women, or
think they're women or whatever,and they're all made up and

(19:43):
they're ugly. It's not likethey're attractive women.
They're very genuine, they'revery demure. They're not even
demure, they're psychotic. Andthere's something compelling
about watching a psychoticperson rant about something I
don't know what it is. It's likeI. Why is this person even
available to to do this? Is theyshould be, literally, it's

(20:07):
locked up. They should be in aninstitution. Well,

Adam Curry (20:10):
it's, it's, it's part of the program, though. I
mean, the fact that it's all outthere to such a degree, and the
algos are bringing it to youclearly, because the only time I
see any of this stuff is whenyou post it. So the algos are
tuned they're fine tuned intoyou. They

John C Dvorak (20:26):
got it, man. Look at this guy. He's gonna push all
this crazy stuff. He's nuts.They're

Adam Curry (20:31):
completely tuned into you now. So, and I think
I'm gonna change my thinking

John C Dvorak (20:39):
before you continue with this thesis,
they're not tuned into me somuch because I don't even have
an account. It's people sendingthem to me. I link to I look at
that, and then once I'm on that,looking at one psycho, the
algorithm then gives me anotherpsycho. Well, I'm just, I'm just
talking about, but I'm not partI'm not being targeted. But

Adam Curry (21:01):
on X, I think you are, and you have an account on
X, your post, you're repostingthis stuff on X, I don't know
what you're doing on tick tock.I mean, tick tock. I mean, I
can't get on to I just, Irefuse, because I know what will
happen. Oh, this is great.Sucked in. Get sucked in. It

(21:22):
gets sucked in. So I think I'mgoing to change my opinion, or
my my original thesis on thistelegram thing. And I know you
have two clips. Let me just dothis. Do this background or see
if it lines up with you.

Unknown (21:35):
Telegram Founder Pavel Durov has been put under formal
investigation and released underjudicial supervision of
allegations his messagingservice is being used for
illegal activities. Allegationsinclude that the platform is
being used for child sexualabuse, material, drug
trafficking, fraud and abettingorganized crime transactions.

(21:56):
Earlier this week, PresidentEmmanuel Macron denied political
motivations were at play.
It is up to the judiciary andfull independence to enforce the
law. The arrest of the Presidentof telegram on French soil took
place as part of an ongoingjudicial investigation. It is in
no way a political decision. Itis up to the judges to rule on

(22:17):
the matter,
but the Kremlin claimsotherwise, saying Durov
detention caused shockthroughout the world
so media, but it
seems to me that, well, it wouldnot be an exaggeration to say
that the whole world experienceda greater shock than ever before
from the actions ofrepresentatives of the
collective West
following durovs arrests.Telegram said in a statement

(22:39):
that it abides by EU laws andits moderation is within
industry standards. Jorov isbanned from leaving France due
to the investigation, so

Adam Curry (22:49):
whenever a statement comes out saying this is not
political, it's political, butwhy? Pavlov is not a politician.
So, and I admit freely, I'msomewhat influenced by the
interview that Mike Benz didwith Tucker, which I which I
watched yesterday. Are youfamiliar with Mike Benz?

John C Dvorak (23:11):
We've familiar with Mike Benz, but I did not
see this interview. You have aclip, I don't

Adam Curry (23:15):
have a clip, and I have a question. What does Mike
bends do for a living? That's myquestion, because he seems to be
everywhere, telling everybodyexactly how the State Department
works and how the blob works.But how does he make money? He's
everywhere, but, you know, he,does he have a lot of ads? Or,
you know, does he I just, that'sjust the question that no one

(23:37):
seems to be asking. So you justasked it. We should find out?
Yeah, I hope to find out. So thethinking, and by the way, it's
also influenced by this emailfrom one of our producers, who
talks about the privacy featuresof Telegram, which turns out, is
not as great as I thought itwas. Aha, yeah. So the early I'm

(23:58):
going to read verbatim here, theearly team, I felt that it was
always full of holes. But, oh,it's worse than you think. The
early team behind the start ofTelegram, led by Nikolai Durov,
that's pablo's Brother, I think,consists of six ACM champions,
half of them PhDs in math, butthey're not cryptographers. Of
course, there's only a handfulof really good cryptographers in
the world, probably instead ofusing known standards like PGP

(24:22):
or GPG that are well tested,they created their own
encryption standard. Here we go,and our boots on the ground.
Dude named Ben says there areweak parts in it that will not
surprise you if some threeletter agency might have
compromised the telegramsecurity. Another big red flag
is that, by default, theencryption of messages is not

(24:44):
on. Turning it on is onlypossible in a chat to another
person. You have to you have toactively select that you want
this encrypted. So there's noencryption in channels or
groups, which is the main use oftelegram. There's no encrypt.
Impossible in channels or groupsonly, the secret chats are
encrypted. And of course, mostpeople start, I think they've

(25:08):
changed it now, but most peoplehave started their account with
your own mobile phone number,which is why you don't which is
why you don't have a telegramaccount, and all of the photos
and files you share are allstored on their closed source
servers for an unlimited time,also unencrypted. So this is a
beautiful system, and I thinkit's very possible this is what

(25:33):
Mike Benz was saying that theRussians, either they have
access to the encrypted stuff,or, you know, they have some
other access. And this ishurting the use of telegram by
Ukrainians, which is, you know,almost everybody in Ukraine is
using telegram because telegramis what you use, or used to use

(25:56):
when you started some kind ofcolor revolution. Pay, a couple
of guys in Germany, we saw that.But was it the Belarus uprising?
I think the two guys in Germanyare managing the telegram
channel well, that's suspicious,and that this is why they want
to try and get to Pavel, becausethis is one of the last systems

(26:17):
that the agencies and the StateDepartment have to control
revolutions and get people allriled up, not by subverting
their messages necessarily, butby using it as the main it comes
across as trustworthy. So Ithink this is where we need to
have a hard look at Elon Musk,not Elon himself. I mean, I've

(26:41):
never liked him. You know, he'slike, Oh, freedom, freedom of
speech, freedom of speech. Buthe isn't actually running X,
that's Linda yacorino.

John C Dvorak (26:52):
Well, before you continue, let's play my two door
off clips. Okay, just about thearrest. These are generalized.
There's not anything just I justwant to get him out of the way.

Unknown (27:03):
In France, I'm sorry. In France, authorities have
issued preliminary chargesagainst telegram CEO Pavel dura
for allegedly allowing illegalactivities on his social media
platform. He's been releasedfrom custody on bail, but is not
allowed to leave France. Durovwas arrested on Saturday at a
Paris airport as part of aninvestigation that opened last

(27:24):
month. Russia, born dorave, isalso a French citizen.
Allegations against him includeallowing his platform to be used
in connection with child sexualabuse, drug trafficking, fraud
and organized criminalactivities. French prosecutors
also alleged that telegramrefused to share information or
documents with investigatorswhen required by law. French

(27:46):
media, AFP reports that Durov isalso under investigation for,
quote, serious violence againstone of his children in Paris.
Oh,

Adam Curry (27:57):
I hadn't heard this part that's interesting. A
little twist, serious. Oh, sothat so that's the that's the
leverage. Pavel, you seriousviolence against one of your
kids. Pavel, look at thispicture. Pavel, What's that in
your mouth? Pavel, part two,

Unknown (28:17):
After durovs arrest, Telegram issued a statement
saying, quote, It is absurd toclaim that a platform or its
owner are responsible for abuseof that platform. Elon Musk, the
billionaire owner of x, who hascalled himself a free speech
absolutist, has been speakingout in support of Durov and
posted hashtag free. Pavel,

Adam Curry (28:38):
yeah, you know. So it seems to me that a guy whose
main source of income is the USgovernment could possibly be
compromised to create a greatfree speech platform that now
can be used instead of telegram.And I'm not saying that Elon

(28:59):
himself is behind it, because ifanyone is running that place,
not for advertising success,because we know that's not
working, it's yakarino, who is atotal mainstream Insider. NBC
Universal, started the peacocks,was part of the peacock
streaming service team AdCouncil. She actually was in the

(29:20):
Trump administration didn't knowthis, the President's Council on
sports, fitness and nutrition.Why? Why?

John C Dvorak (29:28):
Why I know that either that's kind of obscure,
and

Adam Curry (29:32):
this is the best part. She has a twin sister, the
old twin sister bit now she'sthe one that keeps saying,
freedom of speech, not freedomof reach, so maybe she has her
fingers on the dial, you know.And amidst all of this, all of a
sudden we got Zuckerberg going

Unknown (29:51):
Facebook. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged
being pressured by the Bidenadministration to censor content
during the pandemic in a letterto the House Judiciary. Jury
committee, Zuckerberg sayssenior administration officials
pushed the company to censorcertain posts about covid on
Facebook and Instagram.Zuckerberg saying, I feel
strongly that we should notcompromise our content standards

(30:12):
due to pressure from anyadministration in either
direction, and we're ready topush back if something like this
happens again. Zuckerberg alsosaid he regrets hiding content
about Hunter Biden before the2020 election, including
information about Biden's laptopafter the FBI warned it may have
been Russian disinformation, and

Adam Curry (30:28):
we just need to play a nice little supercut reminding
us how the M 5m treated us, thecitizens, their customers, or
really were their product aboutthe Hunter Biden laptop. Never
forget.

Unknown (30:42):
Obviously we're not going with the New York Post
story
right now on Hunter Biden.
This is really one of thestupidest October surprises I've
ever seen. It helps to reallyview this as storytelling, not
so much as news coverage, but aspolitical entertainment. NPR
explained, we don't want towaste our time on stories that

(31:02):
are not really stories. Who eventhought to make that story up,
a story that many intelligenceexperts say has all the
hallmarks of a foreigninterference campaign looks like
it's
tied to Vladimir Putin inMoscow. This
is a Russian intelligencedisinformation campaign, foreign
intelligence operation,
foreign intelligence operation,Russian intelligence. Rudy

(31:22):
Giuliani was not fed passivelyRussian disinformation. He
ordered off the menu. This
is a classic example of theright
wing media machine, and
he's in the midst of a scandal.He's not taking
we should note Hunter Bidenisn't running for president.
That argument has been debunked.
There is no evidence that JoeBiden did anything wrong. For

(31:42):
all we
know these emails are made up.It just lacks credibility. Okay,
start doing that. Bearing No,we're
not going to do your work foryou. Sorry.

John C Dvorak (31:58):
The main player in there was Stelter at least
three times. And then, ofcourse, Morning Joe jumps in.
These guys, of course, steltersout. But these guys are so
corrupt at MSNBC, CNN, all ofthem. John, all of them, yes,
but not to the extreme. Come on.The extreme that you get when

(32:18):
you go to MSNBC is off thescale, at least they fake it a
little bit. At the othernetworks, again, I blame Brian
Right Blane Roberts, the guy whoruns Comcast. He's the guy
behind the whole thing. Anyway,

Adam Curry (32:33):
it appears to me that Elon may not have his
fingers on the knobs, and thatyakarino is the one we need to
be looking at. I'll give I'llgive Elon the benefit of the
doubt. But you know, he did buyTwitter for $44 billion banks
can't unload this debt. They'vegot $17 billion worth of debt,

(32:53):
which they want to sell for 30cents on the dollar, because
that's what the debt is nowvalued at. So you know why? Oh,
just because you have money andyou believe in free speech.
Maybe, maybe. Well,

John C Dvorak (33:05):
another thing is, I wonder how much of Elon's
money, this is because there's alot of Saudi money. It's

Adam Curry (33:10):
not that's the point everybody has influence in this
thing.

John C Dvorak (33:15):
That's my that would account for the fact you'd
have somebody else come in andactually Elon being a front man,

Adam Curry (33:24):
yes, yeah. And, and it's always great. It's always
great when they're making fun ofthe other team until it
switches. You know? I mean, it'slike, it's always great when
they censor the bad guy stuff,but when they turn around and
use the same tools on you, thenit's not going to be so good. So
I'm just saying we need to bewary of that, and that the only

(33:45):
place left for true free speechis podcasting. I knew you were
no I was getting there and andlisten to and so now they're
this is the psyop that's beengoing on for a long time, and
came to a head again this week,pod is dead. Podcasting evolved
away from Apple towards YouTube.Oh, it's the everyone watches

(34:09):
podcasts on YouTube. It's onlyYouTube. They are trying so
hard, and to a degree,succeeding, at convincing
everybody that podcasting isdead. It's only YouTube. Now, I
haven't heard this at all. Well,I'm in the business. I'm in the
business. Well, I'm

John C Dvorak (34:26):
in the business too,

Adam Curry (34:28):
but you're not in the business. No,

John C Dvorak (34:29):
I'm not running a whole

Adam Curry (34:32):
infrastructure system.

John C Dvorak (34:34):
But yes,

Adam Curry (34:35):
and, and, you know, and I would be okay if they, I
mean, they should at least offerto compromise me. I'm a little
disappointed by that. Yeah,where's the money? I don't know.
The podcast index is, is trulyan, oh, man, so many these, a
lot of these hosting companiesare in on it. I Not a lot, some
of them.

John C Dvorak (34:55):
I mean, it's, it's, you know, in the
corruption, yeah,

Adam Curry (34:58):
I believe so, yeah. Yeah, I

John C Dvorak (35:00):
believe so you're probably right. You, like you
said, you take it down,

Adam Curry (35:03):
take it down. Take it down. Oh yeah, there's some
taken down going on. They'vealready got, you know, Spotify,
for sure, because, you knowSpotify, they've got section 230
This is why Zuckerberg, I think,is trying to cut bait and like,
oh, well, you know, Trump'sgonna get in, so I might as well

(35:26):
say hey, you know, because theycleared his letter clearly says
they coerced us under a, youknow, threat of Section 230 cue
the ex Facebook people going outand doing interviews.

Unknown (35:40):
It was peak covid and peak debate about what was right
or wrong information, and theWhite House openly pressured
tech companies to moderate theconversation. We don't
take anything down. We don'tblock anything. Our point is
that there is information thatis leading to people not taking
the vaccine, and people aredying as a result, and we have a

(36:01):
responsibility as a publichealth matter to raise that
issue. Zuckerberg says he nowbelieves the government pressure
was wrong, and he's ready topush back if it happens again.
Do you believe that Facebook istrying to suppress certain types
of information? No, I don't.Katie horbath is Facebook's
former Director of Public Policyand left in the spring of 21 is
this a former censorship what hedescribed, he makes clear

(36:25):
that they made their owndecisions about this content. I
think that's really important.All
of the platforms did.
She argues that Zuckerbergadmission is an example of
walking a fine line at a time ofcourt challenges to tech
companies over contentmoderation and regulation
threats. I think this
is consistent with meta wantingto pull back from politics and

(36:45):
news overall, and very muchtrying to stay out of this
political fray this time,meaning
while the letter may say onething, social media's
relationship status withCongress remains complicated,

Adam Curry (37:00):
let me clarify on the hosting companies. What I
learned is that a lot of theseso called platforms, like
Spotify, Apple as well, Amazonand iHeart, tune in if you want
your podcast there. It's notjust like you put out your RSS
feed and then they say, Oh, I'mgoing to put this in. No, your

(37:24):
hosting company automaticallyopts you into their terms of
service, which is exactly whywe're not on Spotify, because
they had Terms of Service like,I'm not going to sign any terms
of service. So that's how theminute something happens that
that is not liked by the system.They cannot just go to the

(37:44):
hosting company and say, pullthe plug Terms of Service.
Violation done, you're out byper episode or per feed itself.

John C Dvorak (37:53):
So there's and the problem, of course, is that
with something like Spotify, andpeople started saying, listening
to our podcast on Spotifyidiots, idiots, but you don't,
but, but let's say that we're aSpotify podcast. And what would
happen is that there'd be somany people gravitating toward
that. Then once they pull theplug on us, they would have

(38:15):
they'd be like fish out of thewater, you know, flapping
around. Where are we going togo? I don't know. And then you'd
forget about the podcast, you'dnever find it someplace else,
and then you're done, it's done,and you're done, the podcast is
ruined. Yeah, yeah. You have tohave do your own it has to have
a home base that's outside ofthese systems,

Adam Curry (38:33):
you know? And now, when I signed up, I don't hate
even I don't think my login evenworks anymore on Apple, but the
Apple also had Terms of Service.I don't know if that. I'm sure
it has changed since covid. Alot changed during covid. So to
bring it all back around,there's not a lot of places, if

(38:54):
any, that we can really trustfor freedom of speech, because
you may think that you're, youknow, you're in the Bozo filter.
You know, Linda yakarino may bedialing you down, isn't and
certainly YouTube, oh yeah, geteverybody on YouTube. That's
where podcasts are great. Use amodern podcast app, people, one

(39:15):
that uses the index podcastapps.com so we will see what
happens to Pavel, but, but Iwould say that the longer they
keep him, although he's out on 5million euro bail, can't leave
France, I would say that it'sgoing to become less trustworthy
for everybody. And then where doyou go? Signal literally takes

(39:38):
money from the US government. Uswell, NGOs that are funded by
the US government. So no, youknow WhatsApp, which is a
Facebook product or, yeah, ameta product? No. So the control
system is closing in on us, andmeanwhile, we're just. Here live

(40:01):
in Val living the value forvalue, life with no impact
whatsoever. We have no impactjust we have

John C Dvorak (40:09):
no impact. We have we don't have impact in a
in a threatening sense. And whyis that? We do have impact in a
subversive sense. Ooh,

Adam Curry (40:22):
I like that explain.

John C Dvorak (40:24):
Well, in other words, we are. We have a subtext
to everything we do, which istruth, yes, and kind of truth
and understanding, which is abig deal. In other words,
figuring out what the newsreally means, who's behind it,
what you just broke down withthe yakarino woman and the twin.

(40:47):
Yeah,

Adam Curry (40:48):
Elon may not know. Elon may think that he's talking
to yakarino, but it's the twin.

John C Dvorak (40:55):
And so that sort of thing gets into the public
subconscious, and that has asubversive effect on the way
people think about things,because they have some sort of
realization that you wouldn'tnormally have, and it's nothing
you can put really stamp out.It's just, it's subtle. And so
that's what we do. That's whythere's nobody really, that's

(41:15):
where you like we don't appearto have influence. So

Adam Curry (41:18):
we're kind of like the Paul Revere of podcasting,
we're just ringing the justringing the bell. British are
coming. We're just ringing thebell. We're the Minutemen. Okay,
well, I'm happy. I'm happy thatwe're doing it. For sure, I'm
happy and,

John C Dvorak (41:37):
well this people are happy that we're doing

Adam Curry (41:40):
it, yeah, oh, yeah. And they, I don't care, and they
do meetups. And, you know,people in the meetups like, what
are they? What are they? Werethese people may go stand over,
what are they talking about? Andthey learn things. So we're a
slow role. We're like, themolasses of influence,

John C Dvorak (41:56):
molasses of subversion. Exactly,

Adam Curry (42:01):
I think I've figured out what. This is actually quite
good. And it was predicted. Itwas we it was all over the place
during covid, and we neverreally followed through on it.
And I think that we're finallygetting there. I'll start with
this clip, just because youunderstand what the what the

(42:24):
true evil is in our world. It'snot viruses anymore. No, no,
it's mosquitoes. Listen,

Unknown (42:31):
there's a lot going on, especially here in South
Florida, where we already haveexperienced West Nile and dengue
and Zika, and now we have thisillness to concern ourselves
with sloth fever, or sloth flu,is what it's sometimes called.
Decades ago, researchers firstinvestigating the virus found it
in a sloth, and it was thoughtthe animals helped spread the

(42:54):
disease.
You might have gotten it from asloth
that had been bitten by a Midge.You might not have you might
have gotten it from a Midge andbitten somebody else. Okay,

Adam Curry (43:02):
so mosquitoes, they add in midges because it's just
funny, because it makes youthink about So mosquitoes, and
what creates mosquitoes, andthis is the part that we stop
thinking about

Unknown (43:15):
and to Healthwatch this morning, the mosquitoes are bad
out there, and we're looking atnew concerns over diseases
spread by those mosquitoes. ANew Hampshire man recently died
from Eastern equine SFencephalitis I knew is going to
screw that one up. It's a rareillness, no vaccine, no
treatment. In Massachusetts,some towns, in response, are now
spraying for mosquitoes and alsourging people to stay inside in

(43:36):
the evening and nighttime whenthe mosquitoes are out. CBS News
Medical contributor Dr Celinegounder asked the CDC director
Mandy Cohen if climate change isaffecting these kinds of
outgrowths.
You know, the impact of heat onour health and climate change is
not only impacting us as humans,but it's changing where
mosquitoes and ticks live, andthus what diseases are moving

(43:59):
around in different regions.We're just seeing more bugs, and
some of those bugs are becomingresistant to our control methods
due
to climate change. That's

Adam Curry (44:09):
right, dude. We forgot all about this. They kept
saying, Oh no, the next pandemicwill come from climate change.

Unknown (44:16):
Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Equine means
horses. We're not horses. Whatcan you tell us about it? Why is
it hurting people? Well,
this is something that we seewith many infectious diseases,
that the host might be anotheranimal, maybe a bat, which is
what we suspect with covid, forexample, or with Ebola. But in
this case, what we think ishappening is horses. Perhaps

(44:37):
other animals are the host.Mosquitoes are biting them and
then transmitting that infectionto humans. And

Adam Curry (44:43):
what's better than mosquitoes? Because it's just as
scary. I walked outside and sawmosquito I've got I've got to
wear a hazmat suit to mypickleball game. Oh no, and it's
all because of climate change.So

Unknown (44:58):
the CDC director Cohen talked about. Out the big factor
of heat playing a significantrole, and we know the CDC has
said mosquitoes are the world'sdeadliest animal. What more can
be done when it comes toaddressing these issues, finding
treatments and vaccines?
Well, climate change is creatingthe right breeding ground for
mosquitoes, so you have hotter,more humid, longer summers,

(45:21):
which means people are cominginto contact with mosquitoes
that much more and so thereforemosquito borne infections. What
can we be doing? Well, thereally most important thing is
to be controlling themosquitoes. So there are some
traditional ways of doing that.You want to drain your standing
water. You want to be sprayingand there are some newer
technologies there to controlmosquitoes that don't involve

(45:41):
pesticides. Some of those arebeing piloted in place like the
places like the Florida Keys,where you have lots of
mosquitoes, but we still have alot to go in terms of developing
treatments or vaccines. Now,

Adam Curry (45:52):
let us all remind ourselves that it is Bill Gates,
because, of course, whereverthere's something nasty, there's
the nasty man himself, BillGates, who was genetically
modifying mosquitoes so theywouldn't reproduce. They don't
talk about that right now, atleast, I haven't found any
clips. And in 2007 he wasalready talking about

(46:14):
mosquitoes. Remember when hereleased mosquitoes into the TED
conference illegally? Yes, andwas like, arrested

John C Dvorak (46:22):
on the spot. So

Adam Curry (46:25):
put all of that together, climate change bill
gates, mosquitoes, and, youknow, like that gets the in
Massachusetts, and we playedthat clip on the last show,
like, oh, you might want to stayinside, because, you know,
climate change mosquitoes, Oh,no. And right.

John C Dvorak (46:42):
Just as an aside, before you continue, there has
been less and less mosquitoes inthis area. We

Adam Curry (46:49):
have none ever. Yeah, I know

John C Dvorak (46:52):
like and there's two things going on that have to
be addressed with themosquitoes. One, it's windier
than usual, and when it'swindier, the mosquitoes, once
they get it, they are not a bug,that is, that can fly around in
a wind. They just get blown tosomeplace else. They get blown
away, and there's the end ofthem. And so we've had more wind

(47:15):
than usual, which is that youcould say, Well, climate change
is causing winds. And if climatechange is causing winds. The
winds are blowing away themosquitoes. So there can't be
more mosquitoes. There is aproblem. That's a conundrum in
in logic.

Adam Curry (47:29):
You drive these mosquitoes. You drive on the
freeway right from time to I dodrive, of course, I drive what?
When's the you Well,

John C Dvorak (47:37):
I can't get on the freeway. What are you
talking about? Course I drive onthe freeway, just

Adam Curry (47:42):
asking, because now the next the follow up question
is, when's the last time you hadto scrape bugs off of your
windshield?

John C Dvorak (47:49):
Excellent point. When I was a kid, we would drive
down 99 or whatever to say toLA, we were doing, we're just
driving anywhere. All you. Well,there's two things here. I've
talked I thought about this too.Is they used to get so many just
get the windshield be filledwith bugs and so but, but the

(48:11):
cars aerodynamics have changedso much that the bugs, like
don't hit the windshieldanymore. They go up and over.
That's one supposed reason. But,well,

Adam Curry (48:22):
you have a 30 year old Lexus,

John C Dvorak (48:25):
very aerodynamic car, but, but besides that, but
it doesn't excuse the fact thatthe grills, right, which aren't
as aerodynamic, don't have thebugs either, right? So there's
something we don't have theflying insect problem we had,
I'd say 50 years ago. No.

Adam Curry (48:45):
But even though this morning, it was 72 degrees in
August in Texas, where my lawnis green, for the first time
that I've lived in Texas for 15years, somehow it's the hottest
year on record. This

Unknown (49:01):
morning, record breaking heat spreading across
more of the US.
It's warmer than I like. It's alittle hard to breathe. The
higher
temperatures a growing concern.As a new study shows, the number
of related deaths in the USskyrocketed by 117% between 1999
and 2023,

(49:22):
we saw more heat related deaths.Wait,

John C Dvorak (49:24):
wait, yes, stop the clip. Do they give us actual
numbers just went up 100% fromone to two, but

Adam Curry (49:33):
we also have 100% more people homeless on the
streets who may just be fryingand dying.

John C Dvorak (49:40):
There's that teen percent

Unknown (49:42):
between 1999 and 2023 we
saw more heat related deaths in2023 than we ever have in the 20
some years of records. Andthat's definitely still an
undercount. More than
21,000 heat related deaths werereported over the last two
decades. Scientists citingclimate change. Wait, so what?
Again,

John C Dvorak (50:02):
it gets better at the end, if you're going to play
this kind of garbage, and youget stopped. ABC says she if
you're going to play a alwaysbecoming climate change. So if
you're going to play this stuff,I have to interrupt. She said
something very peculiar inthere. She says, we have, don't

(50:23):
get these numbers, but it's andwe have this numbers more than
ever before, and it's undercounted. Yeah, how do you know
it's under counted? If you neverhave these numbers? Because

Adam Curry (50:35):
it's a lie. This is all psychological warfare, and
we're propagating it for freefor them?

John C Dvorak (50:42):
Well, no, we're actually, I think we're counter
propagating. We are, we are, weare. But this, this, this notion
that it's under counted. Waituntil

Adam Curry (50:49):
you hear what she says, what he says at the end 20

Unknown (50:52):
some years of records, and that's definitely still an
undercount.

Adam Curry (50:55):
Definitely. It's not just definitely, definitely
under it's definitely

John C Dvorak (50:59):
that give us the real count? Lady, more than 20?
No, it's an undercount. It'sdefinitely an undercount. What
is the real number? Then youshould be able to do it.

Adam Curry (51:09):
She's not going to tell you. It's not interactive
that way. She can't hear by

John C Dvorak (51:12):
the way, did she ever give actual numbers?
Percentages? 117%

Unknown (51:17):
more than 21,000. Heat related deaths were reported
over the last two decades.Scientists citing climate
change, the weather so hot afterstarting their first day of
school yesterday, students at 63public schools in Philadelphia
will be sent home early todayand tomorrow. Do not
have air in our cafeteria, inour auditorium. Schools,

(51:40):
also,

Adam Curry (51:41):
there's no air, there's

Unknown (51:42):
no air, no air. I

Adam Curry (51:44):
think she means air conditioning, but yeah, we'll do
the Dvorak. What? No oxygen, noair. Here, in

Unknown (51:52):
our cafeteria, in our auditorium, some schools
in Iowa also dismissed early dueto high temps and no AC. At
seven
o'clock, it

John C Dvorak (52:00):
was already 86 or 87 degrees. Oh no, by the time I
leave at one, it'll be in the90s. Why this is considered good
weather 87 it's beautiful. Ifpeople go to Hawaii just to be
in 87 degree weather. It'scalled, now you're dying from
it. It's called Summer

Unknown (52:19):
in Detroit, students will be sent home early again
today, frustrating parents. They
knew the weather was going to berather hot, and they know they
don't have accommodations in aschool to where they're
providing AC, the heat
fueling more calls to investfederal funds and outfitting
more schools with AC. Theextreme heat continues for
several days. Triple digits arepossible in Nashville today, and

(52:41):
Chicago could set a record. I've

Adam Curry (52:43):
been to Chicago before this climate change, and
it could set

John C Dvorak (52:47):
a wet record, but it's not going to but wait, it
gets better. I lived in Chicago.Yeah, it's hot and humid. It's
terrible in the summer. Listen

Adam Curry (52:58):
to listen to the the last numerical statistics.
You'll love it with

Unknown (53:03):
feel like temperatures in parts of the Midwest,
reaching one. Did you hear it?

John C Dvorak (53:08):
I, you know, I was watching this with Jay the
other day. Feels like, feelslike now. Feels like, it feels
like

Adam Curry (53:17):
now. It's just feels like temperature. Yeah, it feels

John C Dvorak (53:20):
like temperature. It feels like, oh. And then they
here's the worst part, they puta map up and they put all these
temperatures up, but theyweren't temperatures at all.
They were all feels like, yes,so you had 115 110, and it was
just a map of all these veryhigh temperatures, but none of
them were real. They're allfeels like yes, and you could

(53:43):
feel well right now. Let methink right here in the in the
podcasting room, it feels like200 degrees. Well, maybe I
should take this shirt off. Itfeels like 200 degrees. No,

Adam Curry (53:57):
don't take the shirt off. Whatever you

Unknown (54:00):
do people? Digits are possible. In Nashville today and
Chicago could set a record withfeel like temperatures in parts
of the Midwest reaching 115degrees. As for that study on
heat related deaths, researcherssay the uptick has been
especially high in the lastseven years, which scientists
say proves the impact of climatechange.

(54:20):
Climate change.

Adam Curry (54:22):
It's all due to climate change. Oh,

John C Dvorak (54:25):
the last seven years. And by because it's
happened in the last sevenyears, not the last 1 million
years, by the way, but the lastseven years proves it. Proves it
because it's gone on for sevenyears, supposedly gone on for
seven years, you don't even knowthat to be true. Yeah.

Adam Curry (54:41):
So the got the hot weather, it's moisture. We also
have corn sweat. I didn't pullthe clip, but that's another new
one. What's corn sweat? Cornsweat is, you know, when it gets
warm, then every every livingplant exudes moisture. Her. And
so they show a map and like, Oh,look at this in the in the corn

(55:04):
region, it's various very badmosquitoes because of corn
sweat.

John C Dvorak (55:13):
You guys, you blew it. Didn't get that clip?

Adam Curry (55:16):
Well, I can actually find it for you. No, don't

John C Dvorak (55:19):
worry about it. I already gave away the punchline
here, corn

Adam Curry (55:23):
sweat. Let me say Scientific American. Here we go,
corn sweat and climate changebrings sweltering weather to the
Mideast. A heat wave is

John C Dvorak (55:34):
sweat. So it's corn sweat that's bringing the
weather. Is that what it said?Yeah,

Unknown (55:37):
there's a reason why this map of corn production
looks so similar to this map ofheat risk in the US today. And
the answer heat risk, another

Adam Curry (55:45):
good one, John,

John C Dvorak (55:48):
that's a show title, heat risk

Unknown (55:49):
in the US today. And the answer is, corn sweat. Yes,
corn sweat. Corn sweat is atruly excellent term for
something that's really known asevapotranspiration. It's
something that, oh,

Adam Curry (56:01):
evapotranspiration. This is why I didn't pull the
clip, because it's not a newsclip. It's some, some peachy
thing talking inspiration.

Unknown (56:10):
It's something that all plants do. It's releasing water
into the atmosphere when itgrows to regulate temperature.
But corn does this especiallywell, and where there's lots and
lots and lots of corn grown,like in the Midwest, it actually
has a measurable impact on thehumidity of the area.

Adam Curry (56:29):
Corn sweat. I think that's the show title right
there. Corn sweat. I'm agreeing.Corn sweat. So man, we just just
making it up as we go along.What can what can we sigh up
these idiots with now on a cornsweat? Oh, good one. And you
know what comes from corn sweatmosquitoes, and what comes from

(56:49):
mosquitoes, sloth fever and Zikaand dengue and dengue, yeah, and
sloth fever and EquineEncephalitis. Yeah, which way,
there's

John C Dvorak (57:02):
11 cases a year on average, every year, year in
and year out. There's one sofar, which I think is, let's
just get that out of the

Adam Curry (57:08):
way, which I think is treatable with ivermectin, I
believe could be Yeah. So it'sweird, and they're just, it's
building it's a strategy oftension. Just build it up. Build
it up. Build it up. Oh, think ofthe children there. Why don't
the children? Why do the schoolsnot have air conditioning? We

(57:28):
spend hundreds of billions ofdollars a year on stupid books
and and stupid books, stupidbooks, really stupid books that
go into the schools, dumb books.Oh, my first blow job at 12. But
we don't have AC for thesechildren, by Bill Clinton, by

(57:50):
the way. Oh, we need to stopthis.

John C Dvorak (57:58):
Schools have AC. Yes,

Adam Curry (58:01):
not the ones in the report, not in Chicago,
apparently, not in Chicago. Didyou go to school when you lived
in Chicago?

John C Dvorak (58:08):
I did, of course. Did

Adam Curry (58:09):
they have air conditioning? I don't remember.
Did they have heating in thewinter? You'd hope they would.
Boy, you

John C Dvorak (58:16):
have to have heating in the winter. Yeah,
it's cold too. Yeah, Chicago'sgot is, got extreme climate,
yes, always has, though, it getssuper cold in the winter, yeah,
and miserable. And it get andmiserable, yeah, and, and it
gets extremely hot and muggy inthe summer, and there's a good
period of time, there'sprobably, uh, four months out of

(58:38):
the year just before summer, andjust after summer works. Really
super nice. It's so nice, yeah,

Adam Curry (58:44):
oh the so nice. That's it. You get 44

John C Dvorak (58:47):
months out of the year that comes from Chicago.
Ridiculously Nice. Yeah,

Adam Curry (58:51):
there's always been, but she didn't hear about corn
sweat because she grew up inIndiana. Never heard of corn
sweat, strangely enough. Yeah,yeah. Well, there we go. All
right. Back to you, Bob.

John C Dvorak (59:07):
Well, what else we got here? You know, I want to
get this out of the way. Ididn't want to get these clips,
but I'm going to do them. Thisis about Jack Smith and re
rejiggering. Oh, good, yeah,yeah. This is good. I didn't
want to get them, but it turnsout that there's interesting
material in here. This is I gotfour it's four parter. It was an
analysis. So it turns out to bea lot more than I wanted. But

(59:28):
it's all short. I mean, I wantedeclipses 13 seconds, so it's not
gonna kill anybody. Good. Solet's go with Jax. And this is
all from NTD. This is mt d, sothe Democratic

Unknown (59:40):
Congressman Jamie Raskin called the superseding
indictment against formerPresident Donald Trump
heroic and something quietlyheroic about Jack Smith
insisting on going forward tomake sure that this plot come to
light, Donald Trump tried tointerfere with the peaceful
transfer of power. So Jack Smithis trying to make the law work

(01:00:03):
in the way it was intended to,

Adam Curry (01:00:04):
wow, that's exactly right. He's trying to make the
law work,

John C Dvorak (01:00:09):
trying to trying to make the law work.

Adam Curry (01:00:13):
He just admits it. He's just finagling everything
to try and squeeze it into thelaw to make it work. All right.

John C Dvorak (01:00:20):
Jamie Raskin is a dick.

Adam Curry (01:00:22):
Jamie Raskin is a problem. He's, he's a he is, I'd
say, top of the list of peoplewe need to get out of there.

John C Dvorak (01:00:30):
Yeah, he's a terrible person. He's a Yeah,
and he looks evil. If you lookat him. He's just an evil
looking guy. Yeah, and, and he'slike, all in he has this theory
that it is, I don't have theclip on this list, but he came
out with saying we're gonna notlet Trump take office if he
wins. Yes, yeah. He said

Adam Curry (01:00:50):
we're gonna have to have a Secret Service protection
for everybody in Congress,because we're gonna get him out
and, you know, basically sayingwe'll have a civil war, but
we'll be protected.

John C Dvorak (01:01:01):
Yes, I heard that clip. Basically, is what he
said, exactly. Yeah, that's whathe said. He is a very horrible
he's a horrible man. Okay, parttwo,

Unknown (01:01:10):
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson posted on social
media that Donald Trumpcontinues to be the most
persecuted politician in thehistory of the US. Speaker
Johnson added that specialcounsel Jack Smith has brought
yet another bogus indictment,and that Americans are sick of
his corruption and shameless lawfair, Democratic Congresswoman
soy lovbren from Californiaaimed her criticism at the

(01:01:31):
Supreme Court's ruling lastmonth on presidential immunity
and blamed former PresidentDonald Trump for the events of
January 6
Supreme Court made really aradical decision granting Trump
immunity. Bizarre case, thejudge has to have an evidentiary
hearing to find out what is theevidence supporting the slimmed

(01:01:55):
down indictment. But I mean, onething is abundantly clear, the
former president summoned a mobto Washington.

Adam Curry (01:02:05):
Who was that speaking?

John C Dvorak (01:02:07):
Our local idiot, Zoe Lofgren,

Adam Curry (01:02:11):
oh, Zoe is still around. Isn't? Was wasn't Zoe a
trans

John C Dvorak (01:02:17):
No, no.

Adam Curry (01:02:19):
I think of someone. Else. She

John C Dvorak (01:02:20):
just looks child. She's an ugly woman. Oh, they're

Adam Curry (01:02:26):
so judgmental.

Unknown (01:02:28):
Well, well,

Adam Curry (01:02:28):
we're handsome, luckily. Well,

John C Dvorak (01:02:30):
that's what we do for this. No, we're not.

Adam Curry (01:02:32):
Yes, we are. You

John C Dvorak (01:02:33):
can make a judgment about somebody being
ugly when they're ugly. I mean,I don't think there's any reason
not to make this judgment.

Adam Curry (01:02:40):
I'm with you. I'm glad you said it.

John C Dvorak (01:02:43):
You know, I've never been condemned for that.

Adam Curry (01:02:46):
People are afraid of you, and they can't spell your
last name, so they don't knowhow to email you. They email me
instead. Okay, so

John C Dvorak (01:02:54):
we go, we now we get to hear something that you
may have heard elsewhere. Let'sgo to clip three. Senator

Unknown (01:02:59):
and vice presidential candidate JD Vance defended the
Supreme Court's ruling regardingpresidential immunity and
dismissed the supersedingindictment against former
President Donald Trump aselection interference. The
way that I think about it is tryto make this nonpartisan Barack
Obama ordered drones to strikean American citizen in Yemen.
That's like the definition ofmurder, unless you recognize the

(01:03:22):
President has some immunity inconducting his official act.

Adam Curry (01:03:26):
There's Vance doing the translation, doing his job,

John C Dvorak (01:03:30):
but he does, does it well. And the fact is that
nobody keep he's the first guynoticed that really brought it
up, which is that Obama, if youdidn't have this immunity
decision by the Supreme Courtwould be Obama would be liable
for murder. And the only thingVance didn't do is bring up the
fact that, after murdering theAmerican citizen, he murdered

(01:03:52):
his son a few days later. Yeah.Well, you know that innocent 16
year old kid drinking a coffee,drinking a coffee mind his own
business, but no, that's okay.That's good. That's good. All
right, I'm onward. It

Unknown (01:04:09):
is important to note that despite criticism against
Special Counsel investigationsagainst former President Donald
Trump, House Republicanleadership has decided not to
pursue the strategy of defundingthe Department of Justice
through the appropriationsprocess. What

John C Dvorak (01:04:25):
Wait, this is the reason I ended with this clip
was, this is the typicalRepublicans, and they've been
doing this, and they do it anddo it. Holly just did it with a
by bringing on one

Adam Curry (01:04:40):
showboat, and then nothing happens,

John C Dvorak (01:04:42):
yeah? Showboat, in fact, she he actually, for
all practical purpose. He hadgray, I don't have the clip, but
he had Granholm, yeah, and he'sget lecturing her about how she
lied. Wait a minute, she lied toCongress. Where is the
indictment for lying to now, ifit was a Republican in. In the
olden days, and a Democrat wasthe Democrats are running

(01:05:03):
Congress. They indict them.Yeah, they're lying to Congress.
They're much

Adam Curry (01:05:08):
better at that stuff. More to do. You just send

John C Dvorak (01:05:12):
the indictment through. They won't do it. They
just keep harassing them,haranguing them and making them
looking good by being a showboator like Holly, and then you do
nothing. You do absolutelynothing. These Republicans are
ridiculous. I would have

Adam Curry (01:05:26):
more respect for Holly if you just said, Hey,
Grant home, you're ugly and yougot big ears. I'd have respect
for him if you said that. No,she's

John C Dvorak (01:05:33):
not. She's not. I wouldn't call her ugly. No.
Okay, so

Adam Curry (01:05:38):
I have tried, and I have some stuff here on this?
Well, I

John C Dvorak (01:05:41):
want to do this the last clip. This is the
analysis just it was a longanalysis. I only took I have
part one, but I didn't clipanything else. Earlier,

Unknown (01:05:50):
we spoke with Zach Smith, senior legal fellow at
the Heritage Foundation, andformer federal prosecutor, about
the superseding indictment. ZachSmith, thank you so much for
joining us. Great to have youback on the show. Now to begin
what changes were made to thisnewest indictment, the original
four charges haven't changed. Sowhat's different here?
Yeah, this is a little bit of anunusual situation for a

(01:06:11):
superseding indictment. Asuperseding indictment typically
means that prosecutors areadding additional charges
against a defendant, but that'snot what Jack Smith did in this
case, as you mentioned, JackSmith left before original
charges intact, but heessentially changed the factual
predicates underlying thosecharges. For instance, he
removed references to DonaldTrump's conversations with

(01:06:34):
Justice Department officials inthe wake of the 2020 election.
He added some language to makeclear that, in his view certain
actions Donald Trump took in hisprivate or political capacities
rather than in his officialcapacity. And he also added some
additional language relevant tosome of the other charges,
again, trying to emphasize thatthose were private rather than

(01:06:56):
official acts. And the reasonJack Smith took these actions,
the reason he made theseamendments is to try to get
around the immunity that the USSupreme Court recently released,
where the Court said thatpresidents, including Donald
Trump, are immune fromprosecution for actually taking
their official capacity while inoffice.

Adam Curry (01:07:16):
So I have an analysis from our constitutional
lawyer, Rob Rob, who read, whoread everything, and I shall
read this for us right now. It'srelatively short. Under the
SCOTUS ruling, the charges can'tgo forward unless Smith can show
that the alleged conduct iseither one, an unofficial Act,

(01:07:38):
or two, an official act thatdoesn't fall within the outer
perimeter of the President'sofficial responsibility and is
not manifestly or palpablybeyond his authority. This is a
difficult burden for Smith tosatisfy. The outer perimeter
beyond his authority. Languagecaptures a vast range of
presidential conduct. This isall as per the Supreme Court, so

(01:08:01):
it will be very likely, so itwill very likely encompass the
conduct alleged in the newindictment. To the extent it
does, the courts must presumethat Trump is immune, and Smith
will have to overcome thatpresumption, according to rob, a
very tall order. And remember,there's still the lingering
issue raised by Justice Thomasthat Jack Smith appointment is
invalid under Article twoappointments clause, because

(01:08:24):
there's no law that establishesSmith's office. If Trump wins
the election, this case willdie. DOJ doesn't prosecute
sitting presidents as a matterof policy. And one thing he
says, Would you keep in mind, ifthe M 5m and Dames and Dems
claim that this is a nail inTrump's coffin, they will have
to simultaneously retreat fromtheir incompatible claim that

(01:08:45):
SCOTUS gave Trump total freedomto do whatever he does or
whatever he wants to do. So thisis really all this is. Is just a
setup for questions during thedebate. That's all that this is.
That's why Trump immediatelystarted fundraising off of it,
as witnessed by another 8million text messages. Yeah,

(01:09:08):
it's really just

John C Dvorak (01:09:09):
so late. Yes, these are on a phone that you
carry with you. For summary,you're carrying a phone around
wherever you go.

Adam Curry (01:09:18):
It's just, it's just a text number. Yeah, so this is
it's all just about this debate.

John C Dvorak (01:09:29):
Can you call back, by the way, when they send
you one of these messages? Letme see that's very calling. I
would call them back. Say hello.You keep sending me these
messages. You want to talk?That's

Adam Curry (01:09:40):
a very good question. Let me see this is an
alert from Donald Trump. Okay, Iwas just indicted again. Please
read my response to SpecialCounsel. No, I'm not going to
read them to call him back.Let's see if I'm going to call
and not in

Unknown (01:09:57):
service. Please check the number and dial again. Oh,
it's

Adam Curry (01:10:00):
not a service. Let's try another one. Let's because I
have a lot from President Trump.This is Donald Trump Jr. Let's
call Junior. Let's see whatJunior give

John C Dvorak (01:10:09):
him a call, see what he says. To say,

Adam Curry (01:10:12):
oh, disconnected right away. Let me see from
Trump, who's asking for $10let's see and invalid number.
Now this is all, wait a minute,it's a 213, number two. You're

John C Dvorak (01:10:29):
giving getting phone calls, a message, phone
calls, in other words, themessage through a phone, and you
call the number, and the numberis bogus. Wait, here's this is.
This is no different than anumber from Taiwan, China,
Philippines, India. Bombay, hey,

Adam Curry (01:10:45):
let's call Rand Paul. Let's see what he has to
say. He's in Virginia. Oh, no.Oh, invalid number. Okay. Oh,
gee. Isn't that crazy? Well, Ican't even hang if

John C Dvorak (01:10:57):
you can't call him back, why would you send him
money? It sounds like you don'tknow who it is you're sending
to. Could be anybody? Could beanybody?

Adam Curry (01:11:07):
Ah, yes, yes,

John C Dvorak (01:11:09):
yes. Well, yeah, welcome to the modern era.

Adam Curry (01:11:12):
Yes, Hey, um, I got a interesting clip here from our
from our buddy, Becky Worley,have you spoken to Becky
recently?

John C Dvorak (01:11:20):
No, I should have lunch with her. I usually, I
used to have lunch with her oncea year. Yeah, but she's in LA,
isn't she? No, she used thepeninsula, as far as I know, and
then she moved. You

Adam Curry (01:11:29):
need to go up there. You need to go visit her and the
kids.

John C Dvorak (01:11:34):
It's not up, is down? Oh,

Adam Curry (01:11:36):
she go down there. Go down to Becky Worley, I've
always liked Becky Worley. Imean, I, I always feel sad
because she is nothing like thestupid reports they make her do.
But she, you know, she's playingthe game. She got kids and a
wife and, you know, she's got a,yeah, she

John C Dvorak (01:11:54):
is a She's a hard worker. She's good at what she
does. She's always was behind.She was a producer. Originally,
always behind. I first met herwhen she was MSNBC, when it was
a different kind of network, andshe was always the producer of
shows. And then she but she hadthe look and feel of a person
who had front of camera. She wasgood looking on camera. She's

(01:12:18):
photo telegenic. She

Adam Curry (01:12:19):
is she's a little harsh in person, little more
well, what is the that's not theright word harsh? Maybe it is
the right word.

John C Dvorak (01:12:27):
She's a good looking woman in person. Yes,

Adam Curry (01:12:30):
he's not like Jamie Raskin now,

John C Dvorak (01:12:33):
but she's telegenic, and she's very good
on the on the on the camera. Iguess she's always felt that
way. So she once she got thenthe other side of the camera.
She stopped doing producing,from what I can tell, and she's
she's good. I think she's verytalented. She's personable.

Adam Curry (01:12:49):
Well, I think she is adding something to the hair and
hookers report for the economy,and it's something I have not
yet asked the Zoomer about. ButI take this to be very credible
luxury or

Unknown (01:13:02):
affordability, right? But what if you could have them
both? That's the premise fuelinga rise in Gen Z and millennials
shopping for so called dupesinstead of brand name goods. But
what's the downside? As we allsearch for value this morning,
influencers are touting socalled dupes with pride. Don't
go
buy leggings for that much moneywhen you can get these for half

(01:13:25):
the price. It's
the same product. It's the sameit's the same thing.
It's always really fun to find areally great, affordable
alternative to something,because you're helping your
friends out, and you can tellthem, like, hey, you've been
using this, here's this. Andthen they can put more money
towards bills instead offoundation
and a path here has a series onour socials where she breaks

(01:13:46):
down the active ingredients inhigh end products and shows less
expensive options with the samecomponents. So
is everything that's highlightedin yellow here is also
highlighted in yellow here.Saving
money on items is now becomingsomething that's a little bit in
vogue. It's cool to be wearingsomething that is less
expensive, but looks

(01:14:06):
like the expensive brand. AndHerzog, who wrote a book on
counterfeit, says these socalled do products are different
from illegal knockoffs.
A do product doesn't necessarilymean counterfeit. What it does
mean is that it is a similarproduct, but less expensive than
the original product. Whenyou're talking about a

(01:14:29):
counterfeit item, you're talkingabout an item that's pretending
to be like the original item,down to the name of the item.
But
experts do say buying theseproducts brings up other issues
worth considering. Dupes
do not come with extendedwarranties. You have a very
specific time that you need toreturn that in. This

Adam Curry (01:14:49):
is, this is what the shop influencers are doing. And
let's just face it, everythingcomes from China here,
everything we buy in America,pretty much. Everything comes
from China, and you can get theexact same product, and they're
not talking about brands likeGucci, but everything else from
the from the makeup products,which I looked it up the Amazon

(01:15:12):
influencer program. Number oneis games, online games. You can
get 20% VIG on the games. Rightafter that, it's beauty and
makeup products, which is a bigdeal on the Instagram, as you
know, all the makeup tipinfluencers. And I think that
this is an interestingdevelopment, and it goes right

(01:15:32):
along with the lab growndiamonds. It's all part of the
same thing. We got a note fromJessica who used to work in the
diamond industry, and she says,lab grown diamonds are a great
way to sell jewelry to peoplewho cannot afford the price tag
of natural diamonds. They'realso a good way for jewelers to
make money, as you can slap ahuge markup to a lab grown and

(01:15:56):
it will still still come outcheaper than the real thing. She
says, however people discoverwhen they get divorced and try
to sell their lab grown diamondback to a jewelry shop, it's
basically worthless. It makesnothing but sense. Makes nothing
but sense. So we're just livingin this fantasy land of

(01:16:17):
expensive products, which youdon't really need to buy. The
expense. You're the king ofthis. We should do tips on
dupes. A dupe tip. Well, I've

John C Dvorak (01:16:26):
always been a fan of these things. Of course,
you're a frugal man, and I have,well, for good reason, yeah, and
I've always had been a fan ofthe Canal Street counterfeit
watch business. Is not what itonce was gone. It's gone. It's
gone. But my favoritecounterfeit watch, and I became

(01:16:50):
pretty good at spotting otherpeople who have counterfeit
watches. I've gone out to dinnerwith Bishop. Do you think you
know you're kind of an expert onthis? Is this watch that my my
mother in law gave me? Is this areal Rolex?

Adam Curry (01:17:02):
Well, that's counterfeit. That's not a dupe.
That's a counterfeit.

John C Dvorak (01:17:06):
Yes, it counterfeits. It counterfeits
are a part of the I see. But saypoo, poo counterfeits. No,

Adam Curry (01:17:11):
no, it's it. I believe, I think, like you, that
a lot of especially when itcomes to bags, handbags, for
sure, it's all from the samefactory. It's stuff.

John C Dvorak (01:17:23):
I went to Korea one year, and I just areas where
you can get these, what use,bags, bags. And they had Eddie
Bauer bags for that. I know thatwell. There's a blast from the
past. It was, it was a whileago, is Eddie Bowers, these
Eddie Bower bags, and they werebeautiful, and they had the

(01:17:44):
logo. Everything was there. AndI realized a lot of this stuff
that you get from thesecounterfeiters is not really
counterfeit. It's end of run 10run, yes, they over produce.
They over produce. They get anorder for for 10,000 they crank
it up, and then they can't stopthe line fast enough, and
there's an extra 1000 to falloff the back. What do we do with

(01:18:06):
these? So they sell them at costor twice cost, like so instead
of 50 bucks for the bag, is 10or $8 but

Adam Curry (01:18:18):
now you're seeing that the brands, the the
companies that advertise ontelevision, they have a problem.
I'm surprised that Becky evenwas allowed to do this, this
particular item that she did,because it's going to cut into
these huge, luxurious brands the

John C Dvorak (01:18:38):
margins. Yeah, yes, those guys make mar the
margin is their game. Oh, man,

Adam Curry (01:18:44):
you know, when my first wife had had a cosmetics
company, the only reason Iagreed to it is one to shut her
up, and the second, well,there's two reasons. The second
was the margins were incredible.It's just goop. You know, you
like eyebrow pencils. It allcomes from one factory in
Germany, or at least back in theday, I don't know if Germany
produces anything anymore, themen Schwan pencils. This where

(01:19:08):
you get all your pencils,including your H, 2h b2, pencil,
everything. It all comes fromone factory, and it's all about
the packaging. It's all aboutpackaging. That's where the
that's where you mark it up.We're living in a fake world.
John, we are. It's fake. It'sphony, and it's only it's only a

(01:19:31):
matter of time until they callcompounded GLP ones dupes.
They're already trying to makeit look like it's counterfeit
because, oh, we can't cut. It'sthe same thing. We

John C Dvorak (01:19:41):
can't cut into the margin. Chemical. A chemical
is a chemical. Yes, sodiumchloride is salt. No matter how
you cut it, that's right, nomatter how you make it, no
matter how you let it evaporatefrom the water, no matter how
you get get sodium chloride,it's still sodium chloride.

Adam Curry (01:19:59):
It. I'm laughing at the troll room. The world is
fake and gay. Okay, well, yousummed it up. There you go. And
And just to prove these marginshow crazy it is and the fake
world we're living in which youcan opt out of, Eli Lilly made a
nice, interesting move the otherday.

Unknown (01:20:19):
Tonight, the drug
maker Eli Lilly is making itspopular weight loss drug,
zeppbound more affordable foranyone whose insurance won't
cover it. Zeppbound will now besold on the ELI Willy website
with a prescription. The cost isabout half of the retail price.

Adam Curry (01:20:33):
This half. Why is it half? This,

John C Dvorak (01:20:36):
of course, is not for still making money. Yes,
this

Adam Curry (01:20:39):
is not for people with insurance. This is for
people who whose insurance won'tcover it, and all of a sudden
it's half but okay, let's put iton Medicare so everybody else
can pay for it at full price,price, full markup. Maybe one
day people will catch on, Idon't know. No, no, no. That's

John C Dvorak (01:20:59):
not gonna work. That's not even possible if they
listen to this podcast. Well,we'll have a million people that
kind of catch on. But even so,we've noticed, even though
listeners to our podcast, theproducers, every so often they
come up with some note that theysend us, that they've they've
locked they've been hook, lineand sinker, into some scam of

(01:21:21):
some sort that you know, youhope that they were would be
immune to, based on what we keepsaying. Do you have an example?
No, do

Adam Curry (01:21:29):
you have an example? I

John C Dvorak (01:21:30):
don't have one off the top of my head, but it
happens all the time.

Unknown (01:21:33):
It's sad.

John C Dvorak (01:21:35):
It's just not you, you can't beat you can't
beat back mainstream media andits brow beating of the public.
Well,

Adam Curry (01:21:44):
it is slowly, slowly disintegrate. No, it's

John C Dvorak (01:21:47):
not you. You're a dreamer. You're a you're the
idealist.

Adam Curry (01:21:54):
I have hope. I have at least 10 more years of hope
on you. That's why I'm still inthat hope phase. Good luck. And
with that, I'd like to thank youfor your courage. Say in the
morning to you, the man who putthe sea in corn sweat, say hello
to my friend on the other end,the one and only. Mr. Jones,
good

John C Dvorak (01:22:13):
morning. You. Mr. M curry, in the morning, all
ships and sea blues from theground, feeding the air subs in
the water, and all the Dames andnights out there. Oh, let

Adam Curry (01:22:20):
me check this out. This is very odd. The troll

Unknown (01:22:23):
count seems to be low. Count. We

Adam Curry (01:22:27):
must have the corn sweat has devoured them. 1870
seems low for a Thursday, don'twe usually have more on a
Thursday?

John C Dvorak (01:22:35):
No, we usually have 1700

Adam Curry (01:22:37):
Let me see. Oh, you, I'm sorry, you're right. Let me
see now the last the lastThursday, was 1889 Oh, you're
right. No, it's about right. I'msorry, you're right. 1870 so
we're on par. Hey, trolls. Howyou doing? Are you corn sweating
in that troll room? You can jointhem, by the way. But going to
trollroom.io. You can listen tothe no agenda stream, 24/7 live,

(01:23:03):
huh? So some you know, we're ontune in. You know the app tune
in? No, I don't it's a streamingradio app, and you can use tune
in to listen to radio streamsfrom radio stations. And the no
agenda stream is on there. It'sbeen on there. That's good for a
long, long time. Yeah, that'sgood. But when you tap on it,

(01:23:24):
because I have it in the car,this for some reason, and that
it has it, you can get Sirius XMand tune in. Okay, so I listened
to tune in, and it starts offwith two ads. Oh, they're just
jacking ads in front of stuff.

John C Dvorak (01:23:38):
Yeah,

Adam Curry (01:23:39):
that's lame. All right? This, this, it's a
ripoff, so don't use tune in torip off or Spotify. It's a
ripple. What?

John C Dvorak (01:23:47):
What is the best way to listen to the no agenda
show in the car? Well, you'redreaming.

Adam Curry (01:23:52):
You could. There's two ways. I would suggest you
get a modern podcast app,because not only will you be
driving in the car and allsudden, bloop, it'll alert you
through your Android Auto oryour car play, or if you just
have your phone with you andit's connected to Bluetooth, and
the modern podcast app will say,hey, no agenda. Show is live.
You tap on it's the same placeyou get your podcast, and it

(01:24:13):
starts playing. Now, we do notrecommend you enter the troll
room while driving. You can,but, you know, we don't
recommend it, but you can usetrollroom.io, to get in, log in,
make an account, and everythingand and that's where the trolls
are. Podcast apps.com, you know,if you want to continue to
listen to your favorite podcastsbefore they get jacked and you

(01:24:36):
get all those great newfeatures, unlike everybody else,
like the Kelsey brothers. HolyMo. Did you hear this nonsense?
This, this promotional bullcrap? I'm going to play it for
you. New

Unknown (01:24:49):
f1 32 Kelsey brothers are taking their new heights
podcast to new heightsfinancially. Jason and Travis
Kelsey signed a new deal withAmazon's wondery. That is.
Worth, reportedly, $100 millionover three years. The brothers
said they are excited about thepartnership and are thrilled to
start season three. The podcasthas been around since 2022 and

(01:25:10):
has won multiple awards,including podcast of the Year at
the 2024 I heart Podcast Awards.

Adam Curry (01:25:17):
We need an award.

John C Dvorak (01:25:19):
We've gotten awards. We don't

Adam Curry (01:25:21):
pay to enter anymore. So we don't get awards,
because every award show, no,you have to pay to enter. Yes,

John C Dvorak (01:25:27):
this is a this is a fact of awards you have to
pay. Yeah,

Adam Curry (01:25:31):
so we don't do that. What the iHeart Awards? Please.
I

John C Dvorak (01:25:35):
heard awards for people that are on I Heart. Yes,
exactly. Well, also, I neverheard of this podcast, by the
way, and I like sports. Well,

Adam Curry (01:25:45):
this, if you read the release carefully, it's the
same as call her daddy. Whatthey're saying is,

John C Dvorak (01:25:52):
it's so it's all about blow jobs. It's, it's a
distribution

Adam Curry (01:25:56):
deal. And wondery, which was purchased by Amazon,
they will be able to sell ads.So the deal can be worth up to
$100 million advertisingExactly. So they're getting a
minimum guarantee, and I'm notdiscounting that most
advertising money on televisionand streaming goes into football

(01:26:18):
specifically. So there's a lot,there's a lot of money that that
people will put into this, butit's this. Oh, it's 100 million.
Oh, podcasting is still doinggreat. No, well, podcasting is a
vow of poverty. People

John C Dvorak (01:26:34):
more, more power to them a and it's no sweat off
my balls. There

Adam Curry (01:26:39):
you go. So instead of paying to enter awards and
getting beat up on the footballpitch, John and I decided we'll
just do podcasts twice a week,and we'll ask people to support
us if they think what we do isworth anything, if we have
improved your life in any way.Some people say it helps them.
Some people say, You know what,I feel better listening to the
no agenda show because we'relight hearted. We're not so

(01:27:03):
serious. I literally saw MegynKelly, boy, I like Megyn Kelly,
and don't get me wrong, but shewas yelling at Caitlyn, the CNN
lady, yelling.

John C Dvorak (01:27:15):
She was, she was all emotional on that thing, but

Adam Curry (01:27:18):
she was, she was yelling, Caitlin, here's a tip,
smile from time to time. Andthis whole rant, she does
exactly, and she has a beautifulsmile. But will she smile? No,
it's like Pot, kettle. Hello.Everyone's unhinged. We're not
unhinged. We're just poor. Buttoday, value came in in multiple

(01:27:41):
ways. The first thing we want todo is thank our artists, who
always support us with theirtime and their talent. It's part
of the trifecta time, talentsand treasure, and they support
us by making artwork that fitswith the show. They're doing it
during the live show. It'samazing. They do this in this
case, in the evening, hoursafter dinner, for the Dutch
masters who were working onthings. And Dutch master, who

(01:28:04):
lives in Chicago, brought us theartwork for Episode 1689, and
that was Darren O'Neill with theozempic ice cream, which was a
classic, no agenda product,comic strip. Blogger right away.
It's like, this is you can dothis. This is not fair use. Yes,

(01:28:25):
it

John C Dvorak (01:28:25):
is Fair Use about what did that art be stolen?

Adam Curry (01:28:29):
No, he says, because you're using the brand name,
ozempic. No, no, no, exactly.Tell him. Tell him, John,

John C Dvorak (01:28:36):
this is a as a parody or a humor, and not for
the purposes of of cloning aproduct. This is totally legal,
yes,

Adam Curry (01:28:45):
and, and, by the way, when comic strip blogger
freaks out is really good art,then you know it's good art.

John C Dvorak (01:28:52):
Well, he had a good piece that I thought was
good, but you hated it, whichwas his jazz queen, but I did,

Adam Curry (01:28:59):
no,

John C Dvorak (01:28:59):
I do not hella pigeus ass.

Adam Curry (01:29:01):
I did not hate it. I said to you, I would be all for
it if the letters actually looklike they were on the jeans, and
they just didn't. And you agreedwith me in my hate I

John C Dvorak (01:29:15):
did, yeah, exactly

Adam Curry (01:29:17):
see with other pieces are, oh, we haven't said
the W word yet. There was a tipjar for that. I don't think
we're doing quite well. Whatelse was there? Oh, that's yeah,
the right. There was a lot ofyes queens, a lot of yes queens,
yeah. But we're like, yeah. Itwas a little overplayed at that
point. We had kind of done that.I did like the very demure, very

(01:29:43):
mindful cheesecake, but youthought it was too simple and
also same. That was a comics orBlogger piece. But again, the
the letters didn't look theylike they were really on the t

John C Dvorak (01:29:54):
shirt. Weren't mapped, mapped. Thank they
weren't surface mapped. No,

Adam Curry (01:29:58):
no, and that's, that's the

John C Dvorak (01:29:59):
which you. Can do with Photoshop. I mean, it's
very easy, but AI, this is allcan't figure it out. How did,

Adam Curry (01:30:07):
how are the earnings for the for our favorite AI
company yesterday, all I saw,yeah, all day. Oh, this.
Everyone's waiting. Oh, it'sdown. It's down five and a half
percent. I guess they didn't dodo so, no, they actually, they
beat expectations, and peopleare still selling.

John C Dvorak (01:30:27):
There's something going on. Yes, it's

Adam Curry (01:30:30):
called the blow up of AI nonsense, have you? You
don't, you don't have chat, GPT,do you?

John C Dvorak (01:30:37):
I know. I just do it. If I'm ever going to use it.
I use it online. Well,

Adam Curry (01:30:41):
here's what you want to type in and it. I think Elon
Musk has corrected grok on thisone. But if you type in how many
Rs are in the word strawberry,every ai i have used, including
the ones I run here at home, saythere are two Rs in strawberry,

(01:31:02):
even though there's clearlythree,

John C Dvorak (01:31:06):
isn't that? What's the point of this
exercise to prove the AI sucks?Yes,

Adam Curry (01:31:12):
yes, of course it is. That means there's no
intelligence. It's justsplitting

John C Dvorak (01:31:17):
the tool that grok was fixed just by hand. Oh,
yeah, of course, it was how youdo it.

Adam Curry (01:31:22):
They will all be fixed by hand. You have to go
tweak it, yeah. Where did Ilearn about this? On X so, of
course, you know this is, thisis what you do. You launch,

John C Dvorak (01:31:31):
brought it. You launched your hand, tweak it,
and then you point out everyoneelse's screw, yeah, exactly,
exactly called Marketing.

Unknown (01:31:39):
Yes, it's good.

John C Dvorak (01:31:40):
It's good because good marketing.

Adam Curry (01:31:44):
Was there anything else that we liked? I don't
think there was much. I don'tthink there was anything else

John C Dvorak (01:31:48):
actually was pretty was pretty lame. It was
demure. I did use, I'm not usingthat word that should be banned.
I did use one piece that was thegirls whispering to each other
from scaramonga as the

Adam Curry (01:32:03):
Oh, yeah, but that was a good piece for the
newsletter, because, yeah, itwasn't, you know, wasn't. Yeah,
I'm passing some news on. It'sgood for a newsletter. Hey,
listen to this. It's like Bettyand Veronica. These two, the
scarabanga piece. That's good.

John C Dvorak (01:32:17):
Well, thank you. Veronica's a brunette and this
girl's a red details,

Adam Curry (01:32:21):
details, white, details. Thank you very much.
Darren O'Neill for bringing usthe artwork for Episode 1689, we
appreciate it. We appreciate thework that all of our Dutch
masters do. You guys are awesomethat I don't use that word
lightly. Anybody can upload artto no agenda, artgenerator.com,
it's simple. Go ahead. Try itout, then you too can be

(01:32:41):
excoriated for doing it wrong.We're happy to do it for you.
Yeah. Now is valuable. It isvery valuable. Now. Let us thank
our executive and AssociateExecutive producers. We ask
everybody to just send treasurewhatever the show is worth to
you. Value is is very subjectiveto your to your own means. So if

(01:33:04):
that's $5 for a show, that'sfine by us. Anybody can go to no
agenda donations.com. Set up asustaining donation. We do like
to thank because we nevercontinue the program if we
waited for everybody to supportus with $5 we, in fact, we tried
that 17 years ago almost, and itdidn't work until we said, hey,

(01:33:25):
just send us whatever it's worthto you. And that's why we have
executive producers $300 andabove. We read your note, and
Associate Executive Producers$200 above, and we read your
note, and you get an officialcredit, which you can use
anywhere credits are recognized.It includes your LinkedIn
profile, of course, and yoursocial media profile, but more
importantly, imdb.com wherethere are over 1000 no agenda

(01:33:47):
producers, and we kick it offwith he's back. He is back. He
comes in about once a month,sironymous of Dog Patch and
lower slobovia, now normally a3333 donation would be a
rubbilizer, and he didn't do3333 he did 3322 which I'm

(01:34:13):
presuming includes a couple of$2 bills, because he always
sends cash from an undisclosedlocation. I'm going to get, I
believe there was one $2 I'mgonna give him the rubbilizer
anyway. But he says, John, thisis a long note for you, so you
have to read it. No,

John C Dvorak (01:34:31):
no, that's not for me to read. He's, he's,
that's a reference to the factthat it's extremely long note.
And I hate long notes,

Adam Curry (01:34:38):
so that means I have to read it. Yeah. All right.
Thank you to all the producersthat support this. By the

John C Dvorak (01:34:45):
way, I should mention just just as a
historically, he sends in kindof short and often short notes,
yes, every once in a while, nonote, and he makes a little
stanza with no note. Money,these little graphic and then
sometimes reasonable notes. AndI think he's finally built up.

(01:35:07):
He's been enough credit to do aslong a note as he wants, and
this is one of them. So that'snot so I'm not objecting to I
will

Adam Curry (01:35:14):
come to his house and wash his car. Thank you to
all the producers that support.

John C Dvorak (01:35:20):
By the way, his car is a rolls. It's got to be
his must be, including

Adam Curry (01:35:24):
the professional insight from so many regions and
professions and the time talentand treasure that make this a
unique source of insight intoadvertisers, safe products and
messages and how advertisers usedifferent outlets to reach
different audiences. The Coted'Ivoire Consulting Group is
extremely effective in helpingidentify targeted audience just
by sharing the message sources.Like many Americans, I have

(01:35:46):
naturalized US citizen, familyand friends. In my extensive
travel outside the US over thepast few months, garnered one
question from both groups,what's going on? Naturally, I
can hear him saying it that waytoo. Naturalized citizens have a
keen perspective of politicizedgovernments. As many came to the
US to leave politicizedcountries, they are unhappy that

(01:36:09):
their work to be US citizens isbeing shortcut for political
purposes. They reinforce the US.Educational System Programming
towards social agenda ratherthan the three R's. Education is
creating a less valuable citizenand workforce, and they include
their own children as victims asthey seek to be normal Americans
and seek private education whenpossible. Many countries, this

(01:36:32):
is important stuff that he'ssaying here. This is good. Many
countries I travel to havepolarized political environments
where violence overcomescivility in political discourse.
International contacts ask me ifthe US is the ideal place to
send their children to beeducated and gain citizenship.
They see the leading globaleconomy and military superpower
moving towards a Caligula likesociety like the one they left.

(01:36:57):
Take note, people, because whereare we going to escape to the
two wars underway have fargreater impact than seems to
garner attention in the US.Global trade is more affected
outside the US. Covid taught usthe term supply chain issues to
justify delays and higher costs,no agenda listeners already know
grain exports from Ukraine,Russia to Africa is causing

(01:37:19):
severe issues and starvation.China is a leading exporter of
goods to the Suez Canal and isseverely impacted by the Houthi
Red Sea attacks of goods to theSuez Canal and is severely
impacted by the Houthi Red Seaattacks the defense industrial
base, which he says, dib of nonUS actors are more aggressive
than the often maligned us, dibparticipants, drone and missile

(01:37:44):
manufacturing outside the US isfar beyond us capability, and
while less sophisticated, usingdos level attacks will overwhelm
so called Iron Dome defenses,and both sides know it.
Hezbollah has 150,000 missilesAI, as in actual intelligence.

(01:38:04):
Ooh, nice. Sees non US, defenseindustrial base pushing a more
aggressive agenda than us. Dibs,unlike us, moral values these
countries do not value of livesas Americans us, military is
working to learn what others areexperiencing and working to
adapt to these wars, but ourpolitical leaders remain

(01:38:24):
oblivious to the reality ofthese wars. How much leadership?
How much will leadership causeUS citizens to suffer, either to
prepare for war, or sufferbefore surrender? If you believe
history rhymes, the Treaty ofVersailles, a concise history by
Nyberg. It's about 100 pages. Isan interesting book of poetry

(01:38:46):
for today's events. No jingles,no karma. And then he parked his
roles as a good note, somethingto listen to, because, you know
he's saying, He's saying realstuff. Here you should have, you
should do a podcast.

John C Dvorak (01:39:03):
Yeah, well, he does one. I'm

always have the hat on whenyou're doing an interview.
Otherwise, he's just a skinnydude with a hat. Now you're
Texas slim. You see, Texas Slimis perfect. He gets around well,

Unknown (01:50:42):

Adam Curry (01:50:54):

No. I said 600. Wow, yeah. Well,that's why I do all the
production,

John C Dvorak (01:51:09):
yes, right? So I could screw it, so I could screw
it up,

Adam Curry (01:51:13):
which I do from time to time. It does happen. All
right, I said we got lots ofclips, so lay it on now, let's
see

John C Dvorak (01:51:21):
what we got. You want some funny clips? You want
to give me some funny clips?Well, let's, well,

Adam Curry (01:51:27):
oh, well, I don't have any funny clips. He said,
Oh, okay. Let's

John C Dvorak (01:51:31):
talk a little bit about, let's catch up with the
Middle East with an update. Thisis, I can do a clip blitz Middle

Adam Curry (01:51:39):
East. Really, it's everyone's just okay. Look,
they're killing each other overthere. Here's a good one. Here's

John C Dvorak (01:51:43):
a good one. Did you know this was going on to
sag after strike?

Adam Curry (01:51:49):
Wait, I thought we already had a SAG after strike.
Oh,

John C Dvorak (01:51:53):
how wrong you are. There's still another one.
They just keep coming. The

Unknown (01:51:56):
Video Game actors have remained on strike since July.
This follows months ofnegotiations with major gaming
companies. The strike aims toensure equal protection for
union voice actors and motioncapture performers against what
they say is unregulated use ofartificial intelligence.
Kristina Corona reports fromSouthern California.

(01:52:18):
We're here in the city ofBurbank outside Warner Brothers
Studios, where members of sagaktra are picketing as part of
their strike against major videogame studios.
The video game companies arerightly isolated. When you look
at the studios, the streamers,the record labels, we've been

(01:52:40):
able to achieve the necessaryprotections for our members with
all of those companies, and yet,for some reason, the video game
companies refuse to make thesame fair deal.
Several video game actors andvoice actors said they are
striking for fair contracts,primarily to oppose unregulated
use of artificial intelligence,
something where we know that wehave something in writing, that

(01:53:03):
when we go into one session,that doesn't mean they can just
reuse, digitally reproduce ourvoice for future needs. It's
ensuring that we can still dowhat we love to do for people
and moving forward, and we'renot phased out by robots.
Voice Actor Sam kwasmanmentioned many actors have
worked their entire career foronly a modest return.

(01:53:25):
We're fighting for our lives.Basically, we spend all this
time learning our lives andtaking acting lessons, singing
lessons, dancing. I mean, youtrain for your career and then
you wind up with a couple 100bucks

Adam Curry (01:53:38):
start a podcast, listen. I have a I have a
question, guys. So the nannyspent all this time setting up
this. No, AI for what I thoughtwas sag after, but they didn't
think to include the video gameindustry. Yeah,

John C Dvorak (01:53:53):
seems so, because way I'm in close the hatch, huh?

Adam Curry (01:53:58):
And are all act is, are we going to see Angelina
Jolie go on strike for the videogame actors? Are they lesser
than do they not count, eventhough their industry is 10
times as big as the movieindustry? Yeah, that's

John C Dvorak (01:54:11):
the irony. Will they go on irony is, the
industry is huge compared to thefilm entertainment side of it.
So

Adam Curry (01:54:21):
will they go on strike? These scabs? Are this
going to continue to work? Theydon't care about their brothers
and sisters, who also had tolearn how to act and sing and
read lines and whatever elsethey were doing.

John C Dvorak (01:54:32):
I think you can figure it out. No one

Unknown (01:54:35):
voice actor raised concerns the AI is costing them
jobs as AI generated voices canbe manipulated to say
inappropriate or offensivethings, which then are falsely
attributed to them causingissues with their agencies and
the
actors over here. Like, no,wait, that was not me. Someone
cloned my voice through someprogram and like, I would never

(01:54:56):
say any of this stuff, so the AIprotections. Are definitely what
is worth fighting for morelivelihoods.
AI is not coming. It's alreadyhere.

Adam Curry (01:55:08):
I have never heard that guy in a video game,

John C Dvorak (01:55:12):
and he might be a voice guy that you know changes
his voice. Well,

Adam Curry (01:55:16):
I will tell you right now, if AI could take over
this podcast, and we could be onthe beach chilling like Bob
Dylan, I'm all in, but it can't,can't it, can't it can't even
count the R's in strawberry.

John C Dvorak (01:55:32):
The thing that's kind of interesting when you
think about this particularcomplaint is Mel Blanc. Oh, Mel
Blanc was a notorious prick thatdid all the voices for every
character in Warner Brotherscartoons. He did Bugs Bunny,
right? He did Porky Pig. He didall the character, every

(01:55:53):
character, in fact, it was allthe vocalizations and all the
commercials and all the comiccartoons, yes, that Warner
Brothers came out with, and heit was the voice by Mel Blanc.
And Mel Blanc would make a fuss,according to the rumors, that
Who knew he'd make a huge fussif they brought in one single

(01:56:17):
guy to do one single voice inany of the cartoons he was
involved in, which was all ofWarner Brothers cartoons, all
the Bugs Bunny, all the DaffyDuck, all that stuff.

Adam Curry (01:56:26):
Are you sure he did Elmer Fudd? Because people are
saying that's not true. I

John C Dvorak (01:56:30):
believe so. He had. He was a man of one of
these I run in, ran into one ofthese guys I was doing when I
was doing a radio show. I raninto the guy who took over
tigger's voice, which Tiggerused to be done by Paul Winchell
in the Winnie the Pooh series.And Tigger was done by Paul

(01:56:51):
Winchell. He was the one whodeveloped the voice. And Paul
Winchell died, and they werestill doing these Winnie the
Pooh movies. And this guy whowas on the show, he was a voice
guy, and he took over. And Ididn't know anything that this
even happened, and he did abunch of voices for me,
including Tigger. And he soundedhe was one of those guys who
could just mimic voices like,you know, like an impressionist,

(01:57:15):
or even better, and he could do,he's had about 12 or 13 very
distinctive voices that he coulddo, but Tigger was one of them.
And

Adam Curry (01:57:26):
I could be wrong about breaking, breaking news,
breaking news, breaking SteveWebb og godcaster Text me. We
text as a voice actor. I canconfirm Mel Blanc, blank did
Elmer Fudd. Doesn't mean it isvoice. He might have just done
it, but okay, he did Elmer Fudd.

John C Dvorak (01:57:47):
He did all the voices and Warner Brothers
cartoons. If you look at becausethey give credit on there,
there's only one guy's name,but, yes, but So, so what was
the difference between, youknow, AI doing some voices, or
for these cartoons, or one guydoing all the voices, not
letting anybody else work.Where's the strike then? I mean,

(01:58:09):
it seems to me that that wasunfair.

Adam Curry (01:58:13):
By the way, okay, by the way, no, this is good.
Leanne Webb sent me an email.She is the much better half of
Steve Webb regarding John Tesh,

John C Dvorak (01:58:28):
I have wondered what happened to John Tesh.
Well,

Adam Curry (01:58:31):
couple years ago she saw him at the coach house. Is
in Florida, no Arizona. I thinkhe's surviving a very rare form
of cancer, but still performing.He performed, of course, on
Entertainment Tonight with MaryHart. He's still around. And
then I got a note from the boysfrom Mercy Me are who are
knights at this point, and theyhad some John Tesh trivia. Did

(01:58:55):
you know that he wrote the NBAtheme song?

John C Dvorak (01:59:00):
No, I did not know that. That's pretty that's
trivia. That is that streamtrivia News

Adam Curry (01:59:05):
You Can Use right

John C Dvorak (01:59:06):
there. Yes, that's a lifetime of that

Adam Curry (01:59:09):
you can retire. You can retire on something that was
like Paul

John C Dvorak (01:59:12):
Anka when he wrote, he wrote the Johnny
Carson I show, yep, Tonight Showtheme. And since the show went
up for 30 years, yeah, he wasjust gold. You know, you just
make money every show. But

Adam Curry (01:59:25):
Can you hum the NBA theme song? No, I cannot,
neither. And and they and so theMercy boys, Mercy Me. Boys said
that they met him on a cruise.They were performing on a
cruise, and they said, you andJohn should do a no agenda
cruise.

John C Dvorak (01:59:39):
Yes, that's that. Let me look on my list of things
I want to do.

Adam Curry (01:59:44):
I can hear Horowitz already going, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, let's do a cruise.

John C Dvorak (01:59:49):
Yeah, yeah. Oh, there it is. Is that number? Oh,
it's been dexed out. No, itdoesn't seem to be. No, it's
not, yeah, I

Adam Curry (01:59:57):
have a feeling it's not in the cards a cruise. Ruse,
oh, boy. And then someone elseemailed me saying, Hey, we
should do a no agenda con, youknow, like, which we do that
twice a week. No, no agenda con,like, a big where everyone, all
producers from all over theworld, can come in and hang out
together, the world's largestmeetup. And I thought about, I

(02:00:19):
said, I think this has popped upin the past, and the reason why
we always say no is becausepeople always want the same
thing, and then you can do alive show on stage. Yeah, and
like no, we though it would begreat. Everyone could hang out
together, have a drink. But whatare we gonna do? You know, we

(02:00:40):
have, there's no tricks, there'sno, uh, no act. There's nothing
with, you know, there's we needto do sessions.

John C Dvorak (02:00:47):
We'd have to work on a on a comedy act, a routine
like Rowan and Martin laugh inroutine.

Adam Curry (02:00:57):
Who's on First? It's

John C Dvorak (02:00:59):
not again, not in the cards. No, it's, is that you
what we're what we've beendoing, is what we're doing, and
that's about it. You know? Wedon't have, we have a microphone
company coming.

Adam Curry (02:01:11):
I'm not allowed to promote it anymore, you know?
And you know

John C Dvorak (02:01:13):
how many we have to hold off on promotion until
we actually get the microphonesdone. And then we have, what is
there anything else that wegonna do down the side? Not
really, I

Adam Curry (02:01:23):
think. No, that's about it. We gotta. I

John C Dvorak (02:01:26):
mean, I have the publishing company and, yeah,
you've got a bunch of otherpodcasts, and podcasting 2.0
that keeps you busy. We're doingwork. I mean, we don't, but
we're not doing a cruise andwe're not doing a podcast

Adam Curry (02:01:38):
2.0 is zero income. That's just to keep this show
going. I'm doing it for theshow. And anyone else who wants
to do a show, well,

John C Dvorak (02:01:47):
it's actually very philanthropic. That's what
it is.

Adam Curry (02:01:51):
Yes, where's my Nobel Peace Prize?

John C Dvorak (02:01:54):
Do get it?

Adam Curry (02:01:56):
Sure. Well, if Obama could get one. So we're still
awaiting the return of theastronauts on that failed Boeing
Starliner. Thing is that theStarliner, yeah, was the
Starliner. You

John C Dvorak (02:02:11):
know, I have a clip I want to play before you
get to that which has got, thisis similar. This is, this is
like a thing that makes mecringe. This is the Space X,
flip, and it is the privatething they're going to do. And
you know, you know, Elon has notgone up in the space yet that I
know he's smart, because it'sand I think, by the way, this is

(02:02:35):
just, I don't know if it's a redbook prediction, but we've lost
astronauts when we had thebillions of dollars. And, you
know, you send them up andsomething goes wrong, and it
kills these guys, although

Adam Curry (02:02:46):
they happen when they're all alive in different
places in the country. But,yeah,

John C Dvorak (02:02:49):
well, that could be the one that came in and the
tiles were falling off thebottom, and the thing blew up,
and everyone got to see it, andthe Challenger went up and they
blew up. I mean, people. Andthen the guys who sat on the on
the launch pad, they burned upin the pit. Yeah, three of them.
That was bad. And, of course,that's suspicious that one. But

(02:03:10):
the something's gonna happen onone of these things, and it's
gonna be, it's gonna reallydestroy

Adam Curry (02:03:17):
in the business. It's gonna be a day wrecker.

John C Dvorak (02:03:21):
It's gonna destroy, yes, I agree. It's
gonna end the business a dayrecord. But this one, this
particular one, this is they'regonna send up people higher than
ever before, maybe through aradiation belt. I'm not even
sure, belts really. We're gonnamake them go outside and roam
around. I mean, this does notsound like a good thing. Space

Unknown (02:03:42):
X's historical Aristotle mission is delayed
once again, this time it'sbecause of bad weather. Four
private astronauts were set tobe launched into space this
morning, but SpaceX said badoffshore weather is predicted in
the area where the crew willeventually splash down at the
end of the mission. During themission, SpaceX plans to conduct

(02:04:02):
the first ever private spacewalkas well as gather data from
dozens of experiments. Themission commander said the crew
must be absolutely sure ofreentry weather before
launching. That's because thesupplies they are carrying are
limited. The mission had alreadybeen postponed from yesterday
after engineers discovered ahelium leak in one of the

(02:04:22):
rockets components.

Adam Curry (02:04:24):
Oh, he's also got a helium leak.

Unknown (02:04:29):
Yeah, helium

Adam Curry (02:04:32):
Yeah. I'm all for sending up satellites, you know,
it's fine, but yeah, going upinto space, sure, yeah, KLM has
just enough. So we have theBoeing astronauts on the
International Space Station.They won't come back until
February. Is now reported, andthey're going to send their
Boeing capsule back down. Watchthat thing you want to take over

(02:04:55):
under on this where there's thatthing like explodes on the way
down, or will it? Be safe.

John C Dvorak (02:05:00):
I'm like, Oh, well, that's not really an over
and under. And over and underhas a plus or minus, either
gonna blow up or not. Well, Iwould, I would say it's gonna
come back. Okay?

Adam Curry (02:05:11):
I think so too, not that I'd risk my life on it.
Well,

John C Dvorak (02:05:15):
that's why they're not risking their life
on it, because the fact thatyou'd even discuss it as blowing
up doesn't seem very not

Adam Curry (02:05:24):
great, not great. So KLM has now said they are
switching from Boeing to Airbus,and KLM is, you know, Air
France, that's a big order.They're losing. Airbus is
cleaner, quieter, moreeconomical, and doesn't have the

(02:05:46):
doors popping off. That was notin the press release, but I'm
just going to add that. And inChina, we have another
competitor doing much betterthan Boeing, is

Unknown (02:05:58):
Air China. And China Southern Airlines will become
the second and third Chinesecarriers to fly China's
homegrown c9 online passengerjet. The two carriers took
delivery of the aircraft atChinese planemaker Comac space
in Shanghai. These
are the eighth and ninth planesthat Comac has delivered China.
Eastern Airlines has alreadybeen flying seven of these

(02:06:19):
aircraft

Adam Curry (02:06:20):
since May last year. There you go.

John C Dvorak (02:06:23):
No, what's a? C, 919,

Adam Curry (02:06:25):
it looks like a 737 I think it's going to be a
competitor that big. Oh, yeah,it's, it's a dupe. It's a it's a
dupe of the 737

John C Dvorak (02:06:35):
Yeah, they look nice. The commax. C9, 19, they
look nice. It looks like a 737,you're right. It probably is a
copy of an old one. It's a

Adam Curry (02:06:44):
dupe. It's a dupe. It's a dupe. Yes, now I'm not
sure if this was a Boeingaircraft, so I have not received
so

John C Dvorak (02:06:51):
we're doomed once the Chinese get into this. This

Adam Curry (02:06:55):
is a very sad thing that took place. People don't
really this could be amaintenance issue. It could be
an aircraft issue. Again. Idon't know if it was Boeing or
Airbus, but this is sad thingthat happened this

Unknown (02:07:07):
morning. Delta Airlines searching for answers after two
employees were killed on the jobinside the airlines maintenance
facility on the Atlanta airportgrounds. A third worker is being
treated for serious injuries.1775
Mayor Jackson, Junior Boulevard,Delta, TLC, three

piece of metal, big piece ofrubber, and if it fails, for

(02:07:49):
some reason catastrophically,can cause damage and injury to
people nearby.
A delta employee describing thechilling scene to first
responders, saying, quote, Iwalked toward where the
explosion occurred, and saw abody lying face down, not
moving, with blood all aroundthe
accident. Investigators willprobably look at the two metal
rims around that tire and lookfor some sort of a fatigue

(02:08:13):
failure. Was that airplane old?Was that tire old? Or was it
somehow, some part of the waythat the tire was put together
that caused this mishap.

Adam Curry (02:08:21):
Doesn't Delta, Delta fly Boeing's,

John C Dvorak (02:08:26):
yeah, but this is probably, this is component.
It's like, it's like, certaintrucks have these types of
tires.

Adam Curry (02:08:33):
They're still blame Boeing.

John C Dvorak (02:08:36):
Well, yeah. Well, that's the idea, blame them.
Yeah. Sorry about Boeing's gotissues. I see there's a comeback
919 there's a 929 oh, so they'rebuilding big jets. Yeah, um, I'd
probably honeywell's involvedwith them. Oh, really, Americans
have, you know, help

Adam Curry (02:08:56):
really,

John C Dvorak (02:08:57):
yeah, but

Adam Curry (02:08:58):
probably fly it. I wouldn't, I'm not too afraid. I
wouldn't go, Well, go on aspaceship, but

John C Dvorak (02:09:08):
I'm taking a rocket, here's a rocket, and
shoot it up there, and I'll beon it and floating around for a
few minutes.

Adam Curry (02:09:14):
This is a story trending everywhere. It's not
rage, it's crazy. It's no goodCalifornia. I mean, it's just
California story so, but it wasdoing the rounds, so we might as
well discuss it, since one of usis in California

Unknown (02:09:29):
now, to a live look at the state capitol. Right now,
California lawmakers have aboutthree days to pass new laws for
the year. The deadline isSaturday, at midnight. Lawmakers
today saying Governor Newsom abill that would allow
undocumented people to apply forthe state's first time home
buyers program. That program hasno money for the foreseeable
future, but that didn't stoplawmakers in the state assembly

(02:09:50):
from approving it in a 45 to 15party line vote, the proposal
specifically prohibits theCalifornia Housing Finance
Authority from rejecting aperson's actions. Application
based on their immigrationstatus. The bill made national
headlines as California isfacing a housing crisis with
some of the highest costs in thenation to own a home, we
need to remind ourselves that weare a nation of immigrants, and

(02:10:13):
here in our state, we remindourselves all the time of the
value of those who arecontinuing to come here and to
make our economy better. So forthose who are paying their
taxes, who are doing thingsright, who have a good credit
score and who can qualify for aloan, we are saying that we want
you to set roots here in ourgreat state. If you qualify,

(02:10:37):
Governor Newsom will have untilSeptember 30 to sign or veto
this bill.

John C Dvorak (02:10:41):
Apparently, that's not the that's not the
way the story is told on thisclip. Oh,

Adam Curry (02:10:47):
hold on. Can I just say something that Governor
Abbott of Texas, he is nowcommissioned signs to be put up
in Mexico that says, free homesthat way. Point him towards the
north.

John C Dvorak (02:11:01):
Yes. Smart move free homes in California. Is the
clip free?

Adam Curry (02:11:05):
Oh, is that literally the clip name? Oh, I
see a

Unknown (02:11:08):
California proposal could make illegal immigrants
eligible for housing aid. Peoplecould get up to $150,000 in
loans to help buy a home paidfor by the state entities. David
lamb reports,
a new proposal would expand homebuying loans to illegal
immigrants. On Tuesday, theSenate passed a bill in a 25 to

(02:11:29):
14 vote, California's homepurchase assistance program
would cover up to a 20% downpayment or closing costs capped
at $150,000 it's called AssemblyBill 1840 which was introduced
by Assemblyman Joaquin arumbula,and it prevents the state's home
purchase assistance program fromdisqualifying an applicant based

(02:11:51):
on their immigration status.Applicants would need to be
first time home buyers, and atleast one borrower needs to be a
first generation home buyer,such as someone whose parents
don't own a home, or they'vebeen through foster care, the
homebuyer would have to repaythe down payment loan, plus a
portion of the profits if thehouse is sold later on. So

(02:12:11):
that's the increased value ofthe home. Now, as of Wednesday,
it's in the assembly beforegoing to Governor Gavin Newsom's
desk. Well, it

Adam Curry (02:12:19):
wasn't that different?

John C Dvorak (02:12:22):
Well, they emphasize the fact that this for
illegal immigrants, mainly,

Adam Curry (02:12:27):
yes, well, of course, that's what California
is all about. It's to improveyour economy now so that so 20%

John C Dvorak (02:12:34):
150,000 so much of 2008 written all over it
does.

Adam Curry (02:12:38):
That's a $750,000 home, which, at today's interest
rates, pretty steep price,

John C Dvorak (02:12:49):
you know? Yeah, it might not be workable. You
mean, but Newsom, if he's smart,he'll veto it so he can keep on
his you know, because otherwisehe's going to get everything
Newsom does from now on isassuming that Trump's going to
be president, and he has to bevery careful that he's not going
to have this stuff thrown in hisface. Hey, but

Adam Curry (02:13:09):
wait a minute, this would work great for your favela
idea. Free favelas. You can geta down payment on a favela.

John C Dvorak (02:13:21):
This idea of the favela itself is self free. It's
free,

Adam Curry (02:13:25):
it's free, free. I love that idea. Well, let's
continue to stay in Californiawith the cleanup operation just
in time for the Olympics, justin time for the 2020, 2028,
election. This is rousting thehomeless. We're back

Unknown (02:13:42):
now with our homeless in America series. Earlier this
summer, the US Supreme Courtruled that cities can find or
even jail people for sleepingoutside. Seen as Nick watt went
to San Francisco, a city with anotorious homeless problem,
which is now aggressivelysweeping homeless encampments
from its
streets. You got to go. But youknow where you're gonna go,

(02:14:04):
yeah. Okay,

Adam Curry (02:14:06):
okay, okay,

Unknown (02:14:08):
we're in the Mission District. It's a little after
7am Is this the first timeyou've been involved in one of
these sweeps? No, no, no. Thisis the first time they've been
so quiet and nice you'll
be in a shelter tonight. Well,this covid? Yes, the Supreme
Court ruled that cities can nowcite fine or jail these people,

(02:14:29):
even if they have nowhere elseto go. We
have the ability to now enforcethe law. Mayor
London breed introduced what shecalls a very aggressive
strategy. They issued around 25citations in the first two
weeks, you're criminalizingsomething that a lot of people
can't help. They have no otherchoice,
and that would be the case if weweren't offering people a place

(02:14:49):
to go inside. They
haven't offered your shelter.
They said there's no opening forshelter right now. There's no
beds or anything for trash. The
city says
no one this. Morning sweep endedup in a shelter, not one. This
is the afternoon sweep we're inso much South of Market. The
issue is, this is the 34th timethe city has swept this area

(02:15:12):
this year alone.

Adam Curry (02:15:14):
34th time. That's

John C Dvorak (02:15:16):
a little twist on the story. Doesn't

Adam Curry (02:15:19):
seem to be working very well.

John C Dvorak (02:15:23):
Well, I know whatever they're doing in San
Francisco, a lot of it's housinghas an impact, and the homeless
are moving, probably wisely, toOakland, right

Adam Curry (02:15:33):
across the road from you.

John C Dvorak (02:15:35):
Well, it's far enough away. I'm not worried
about it. But, okay, I wasn'topen the other day driving
around. Yeah, and it's worsethan ever. In a homeless
situation, there's encampmentsunder every Overpass, which
seems like ever there's a youwon't find a freeway overpass
where there aren't a bunch oftents. And there's a huge park
on the corner of MacArthur andBroadway for people who want to

(02:15:58):
check it out. And there's justTent City. The whole park isn't
completely filled, but it's aborderline favela, but not the
right kind. The right kind needsa view. Yes, yeah, it's a view
formula. And I don't see anybodydoing anything about anything in

(02:16:18):
Oakland.

Adam Curry (02:16:19):
I have a second part to this report, more than 4000

Unknown (02:16:23):
people live on San Francisco streets. There are
fewer than 4000 shelter beds,and most nights, they're near
full, with a wait list of over100 he's offering your shelter
bed. Yeah, so what are you goingto do? Are you going to
take it? Yeah, I'm going to takeit. But you know what? It's
something where it's typical,like, I won't do it, man, I want

(02:16:43):
to do it because I stayed inprison 2022 years. Do you really
think I want to be closed up ina room with bars? No, I don't
think so. I'd rather sleepoutside. Since
the Supreme Court's decision,cities and towns and states
across the country are nowproposing passing and enforcing
anti camping laws acrossCalifornia, state authorities

(02:17:07):
have started sweeping in camps.I'm
here on behalf of 40 millionCalifornians that are fed up.
I'm here because I'm one ofthem, but
more than 50 academics told theSupreme Court there's no
evidence that criminalizinghomelessness works. In fact,
there's a lot of evidence thatit's counterproductive. It's

Adam Curry (02:17:27):
all Brits, by the way, who are representing your
news

Unknown (02:17:30):
well, what we want to be able to do is use the
penalties as a way to get peopleto commit to going indoors. You
spent
a lot of money from the citysweeping that same street. To
me, that is the definition ofmatter. But
what I'm saying to you is thenext option that we have for
people who are refusing whatwe're offering is we will be

(02:17:51):
citing, and you'll maybe, in thenext couple months, take a look
at our data and see whether ornot this is working, and if it's
working, we'll continue. If it'snot, we need to pivot and to try
something else. Pivot, pivot.

Adam Curry (02:18:05):
Gonna pivot and try something else, like
flamethrowers or something.

Unknown (02:18:11):
This is, this is

John C Dvorak (02:18:12):
what is citing somebody that homeless or living
in a tent, they got no income,they got no job, they got
nothing and you're gonna givethem a ticket there. Yeah,
there's a $20

Adam Curry (02:18:22):
ticket. They have no strategy. This is just, just
sweep them up, sweep under therug. It's no strategy. There's
no strategy. Turn Oakland into abig, big park. It's not a
strategy. It's very sad. It is.Well, they

John C Dvorak (02:18:40):
let it, they let it fester. That's the problem.
Well, it could have been solvedif they had stopped it a decade.
They let

Adam Curry (02:18:46):
it fester for political reasons.

John C Dvorak (02:18:49):
That's what they did. Democrats,

Adam Curry (02:18:51):
yes, yes, yes. The robbers den, you know, you
remember the knife attack andsouling in Germany.

John C Dvorak (02:19:03):
Yes, in fact, I have a clip that references it.
Oh, well, let

Adam Curry (02:19:06):
me play the clip and I can tell you some. Have some
interesting details. What is thename of this clip?

John C Dvorak (02:19:11):
That's a good question.

Adam Curry (02:19:13):
Well, you're the you brought it up. Well,

John C Dvorak (02:19:15):
I mean, you tricked me.

Adam Curry (02:19:18):
I did not trick you into anything. Oh, here it is.
No, no. Do you have I don't seea knives clip?

John C Dvorak (02:19:28):
No, it's, it's under it came at either my maybe
the UK NEWS it. Oh yeah, I thinkit came out of here. This is
when I think this, yes, it's inhere. It's a two parter. It's UK
NEWS. It's about Starmer, oh

Adam Curry (02:19:41):
yeah, hanging out with the German dude. Yeah? Here
British

Unknown (02:19:44):
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is seeking to reset
relations with the EuropeanUnion as he meets in Berlin with
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.The two leaders have agreed to
work on a treaty covering issuesfrom defense to trade. Yeah,
let's

Adam Curry (02:19:57):
just say defense.

Unknown (02:19:59):
I'm absolutely. Clear that we do want a reset. I've
been able to repeat that heretoday, a reset with Europe, a
reset with the EU. But that doesnot mean reversing Brexit or
reentering the single market orthe Customs Union. Scholes
said Germany wanted to take thisoutstretched hand.
The United Kingdom

(02:20:20):
has always been an indispensablepart of the solution to the
major issues affecting the wholeof Europe. This has not changed
since the UK left the EuropeanUnion. The
new Cooperation Treaty woulddeepen collaboration in science,
technology, business andculture, while increasing trade
and guns. Britain and Germanysaid they hoped to sign the
Cooperation Treaty by early nextyear, at the heart of

(02:20:43):
this treaty will be a newdefense agreement. There it is
an agreement that builds uponour already formidable defense
cooperation.
The deepening defensecooperation comes ahead of a
possible scaling back of ussupport for NATO if FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP returnsto the White House early next
year, Trump has said he wouldnot defend allies if they do not

(02:21:07):
increase their defense budgets.

Adam Curry (02:21:09):
He don't think he said that. Well, indirectly, he
says if you don't pay your fairshare, is what he said. But
yeah, it's a fair share thing.Yeah. So where's the knife stuff
in the second clip? Here's thesecond clip.

Unknown (02:21:19):
Starmer also highlighted cooperation on the
shared European challenge ofillegal immigration. The issue
is a hot topic in Germany at themoment, following a knife attack
in zollingen that killed threepeople and wounded eight more,
allegedly carried out bysuspected Islamic extremists
from Syria, Starmer reiteratedhis plan to tackle the people

(02:21:39):
smuggling gangs behind the UK'ssmall boat crisis, which charged
migrants 1000s of dollars tocross the sea from France to
Britain. He suggested the jointaction plan could involve
authorities intercepting boatsin transit across Europe to stop
them reaching the northernFrench coast.

John C Dvorak (02:21:57):
Have you ever taken the before the Chunnel,
this very boat ferries acrossthe English Channel. It's

Adam Curry (02:22:06):
called the vomit Express.

John C Dvorak (02:22:08):
It's unbelievable. I don't do not
understand how a small boat canmake that trip. Well, a lot

Adam Curry (02:22:14):
of them don't. I guess a lot of them don't make
it. Well, back to the knifeattack, which was referenced in
that clip. I thought Iremembered the name Solingen. I
couldn't. I couldn't put myfinger on it. Do you know the
nickname of solingan, or whatthey call it? No, the city of

(02:22:36):
knives, the Solingen knifecompany comes from,

John C Dvorak (02:22:40):
oh, that's there is a nice Yes. It's

Adam Curry (02:22:42):
called the city of knives. Leave it to the city of
knives. Ironic, yes, the ironyis nuts. And now the the Berlin
police commissioner came outwith some tips and tricks to
employ if this happens andyou're around and someone is
going crazy, stabbing people.The the police commissioner

(02:23:06):
said, Do something unexpected,like making a phone call or
singing very loudly. This is,this is the brilliant idea how
to thwart yourself from beingstabbed to death by a knife
attack. Just sing loudly. Ohyes. And then this very sad news

(02:23:33):
from NPR regarding knives. Allright, here's

Unknown (02:23:35):
a question, what is a knife without a blade? That is
not a riddle or a Zen Buddhistparadox? It's a question that
the maker of the Swiss ArmyKnife has just answered in the
form of a new line of pocketknives without blades, they
will still have the screwdriverfear, not also the nail file,
the bottle opener, but not theclassic flip out blade.

(02:23:57):
Victorinox, the company behindthe ubiquitous multitool, has
made hundreds of millions ofSwiss Army knives since the late
19th century. But this is afirst. The
company's CEO told Swiss mediathis week that the decision was
made because some countries haveincreased the regulation of
knives in response to violentcrime.
Yeah, this is not the first timeVictoria Knox has had to pivot

(02:24:18):
based on current events whensharp objects like pocket knives
were banned from planes after911 the company leaned into
watches and luggage and leisurewear and even fragrances. The
new bladeless pocket knives arein development now, and
aficionados will still be ableto purchase the classic swiss
army knife.

Adam Curry (02:24:37):
I love this story. We should do hammers that are
just a piece of wood with nohead on it. It's a screwdriver
without a shaft. And what is aSwiss Army Knife without a
blade?

Unknown (02:24:52):
Dumb, yes.

Adam Curry (02:24:55):
What I mean? What is the world? And I remember we
used to say, hey, they'rebanning knives in England. No.
Not true. There's no knifecrime, yes, meanwhile, we're
running around with nine milseverywhere. Yeah, it's

John C Dvorak (02:25:08):
a better idea, you know, because when you shoot
somebody, everybody notices,because it makes a lot of noise.
It's very loud, it's verynoticeable. Yes, yeah. So you
can get out. You can run out ofthe way with some of the knife
and people left it right? Youscatter? Yes,

Adam Curry (02:25:21):
you can scatter. Yeah, unless, of course, you're
President Trump and you know,and you're just walking around
with a with an AR 15, and you'rehanging out. Did you hear the
latest details? You see they hadpictures of the gun, and

John C Dvorak (02:25:35):
I have the FBI investigate shooting NTD, which
details what they did. Well,

Adam Curry (02:25:42):
let me play mine first, because NTD is such a

John C Dvorak (02:25:46):
doom. Yeah, there they do to complete a job of
actually giving you theinformation.

Adam Curry (02:25:51):
Well, this is there's only one little bit in
here that I think is good.

Unknown (02:25:55):
The FBI giving an update this afternoon on its
investigation into theassassination attempt a former
President Donald Trump inButler, Pennsylvania, that
update, including the release ofsome new pictures showing the
gun backpack and undetonatedexplosive device belonging to
the shooter, Thomas crooksinvestigators saying that they
have been able to conduct anextensive analysis into the

(02:26:16):
research he conducted before theattack. However, they say no
clear motive has emerged.Investigators say crooks
searched the dates and locationsof campaign rallies for both
Trump and President Joe Bidentoday, the FBI also saying that
crooks was on the roof for justsix minutes before he fired
eight rounds at the formerpresident. Trump's ear was

(02:26:38):
injured in that shooting, onerally, goer was killed, two
others were injured.

Adam Curry (02:26:43):
Oh, it was only six minutes. Six minutes. Are you
kidding me? And listen to howthat was reported. Oh, it was
only six minutes. What he was onthe roof for six minutes. That's
outrageous. Six

John C Dvorak (02:27:01):
minutes is a if we stop talking right now for
six minutes, everyone would stoptuning it did. Six minutes is a
long time, I agree, ofespecially dead air. But so the
guy gets up on the roof. He's upthere for six minutes, I would
say, over five minutes beforeanybody

Adam Curry (02:27:21):
even saw him. No, you just say only six is how you
report on it. Well,

John C Dvorak (02:27:24):
that's the way to report only six. But six is you
got all these guys, spotters,guys, you know? Yeah,

Adam Curry (02:27:31):
I mean, people do a, you know, mechanical bull for
eight seconds. If that do I wantto play your NTD report or
didn't mind cover it? I

John C Dvorak (02:27:41):
think it's pretty much the same story. It's a
little longer. No,

Adam Curry (02:27:44):
it's the same length, 46 seconds.

John C Dvorak (02:27:48):
No, it was the same, basically the same story.
Okay, let's go to this catch upwith some campaigning news. Oh,
okay, what painting?

Adam Curry (02:28:01):
Oh, they were I missed the queue. I'm queue

Unknown (02:28:06):
you look queueless. Vice President Harris is in
Georgia. Former President DonaldTrump is holding campaign events
in battleground states thisweek, the very states that could
decide the election. NTDsWashington correspondent Jack
Bradley has an update on Trump'scampaign. Former
President Trump is holdingcampaign events this week in key
battleground states. Nothing isscheduled for the former

(02:28:28):
president but his running mate,Ohio Senator JD Vance, has two
rallies today. He's speaking inErie, Pennsylvania and in De
Pere, Wisconsin. Tomorrow, Trumpis holding a town hall in La
Crosse, Wisconsin, and onFriday, a rally in johnsontown,
Pennsylvania, Trump said he'llbe attending the scheduled
presidential debate hosted byABC on September 10 in

(02:28:49):
Philadelphia. He initiallywanted to ensure the same rules
as the debate with CNN withPresident Biden, rules,
including that candidatesmicrophones should be muted
while the other is speaking, andthey will be standing and they
cannot bring notes. RFK, Jr, whorecently dropped out of the
presidential race and endorsedTrump, has pulled his name off
the ballots in several states.He remains on the ballots in

(02:29:13):
Michigan and Wisconsin, both ofthem swing states, even though
Kennedy tried to remove hisname, state laws don't allow it.
It will be interesting to see ifthat actually impacts the votes.
Now this all comes as Trump'scampaign added Kennedy and Tulsi
Gabbard to his presidentialtransition team. Gabbard is a
former Democratic Congresswomanfrom Hawaii who ran for
president in 2020

Adam Curry (02:29:34):
Okay, a couple things. One, I think we should
analyze and think for a momentabout the next person who will
join the Trump campaign? Therehas to be more. They can't be
shooting their all their wad onRFK Jr in Tulsa. We've got to
have more coming in.

John C Dvorak (02:29:52):
Oh, don't you think that I never considered
this?

Adam Curry (02:29:55):
Oh, there's got to be another big name that joins.
It has to be a surprise, likeAlfred. Lincoln. That'll never
happen, but someone, someone ofgreat stature. Could there be
anyone who is not a complete

John C Dvorak (02:30:11):
for it to be, which is rare in that party, but
it has to be a disaffectedperson uh, who sees it. It'll
reveal. It's the reveal willtake place after the debate, and
it will depend on how theperformance of Kamala goes. You

(02:30:32):
know, they kept trying to forcethe idea that she could have
notes, and you know what thatmeans? She'd have a big binder
with tabs, a big, giant binderwith tabs, and she'd be flipping
it over and reading from thesenotes.

Adam Curry (02:30:45):
We, but we, I think we need someone from show
business like Clooney, whichwill never happen, but he's out
no but that level, someone,someone big, maybe not. I mean,
this

John C Dvorak (02:30:58):
show business doesn't really have a I mean,
has no cash. I don't think thisis impactful, and it's and these
people are all pathetic, yeah, Idon't know. I don't see anybody
on the horizon. It'd be, it's agood I like the idea, oh, he

Adam Curry (02:31:14):
needs it. He needs to do it. It has to be seen. How
about, how about Mike Rowe? MikeRowe would be a good one.

John C Dvorak (02:31:21):
Yeah, but Mike Rose already voting for him. Is
he, far as I can tell, he's aRepublican, yeah,

Adam Curry (02:31:28):
okay, Mike Rowe won't work. How about Bill
Maher?

John C Dvorak (02:31:33):
That would be interesting. I'll give you that
one. Bill Maher, but he hatesTrump so much that for him to
change, to change at this point.Would it would be incredible,
yeah, I just don't see it. Imean, it would be great, but I
he's such, he's such aideologue, yeah, and he really

(02:31:56):
hates Trump. He says, Yeah,hates Trump, yeah,

Adam Curry (02:31:58):
yeah, visceral well, but he can still say, I hate
him, but he's got the rightideas.

John C Dvorak (02:32:04):
He could do that.

Adam Curry (02:32:07):
And I saw this. I saw an ad for this on X or it
wasn't an ad, because I havepremium free.

John C Dvorak (02:32:14):
Oh, you paid. No, I

Adam Curry (02:32:16):
got it for free because I you'd say I got the
blue check mark. You have theblue check mark too. You don't
get to leave. You don't get ads.I don't get any ads. You get

John C Dvorak (02:32:25):
ads. I mean, once in a while I think there's an ad
in there. No, I think

Adam Curry (02:32:29):
it's just, I think it's just a post. And I thought
it was a joke, but it wasn't.Hello, everyone.

Unknown (02:32:36):
This is your favorite president, Donald J Trump, with
some very exciting news, bypopular demand, I'm doing a new
series of Trump digital tradingcards. You all know what they
are. We've had a lot of fun withthem. It's called the America
first collection, 50 all new,Stunning Digital trading cards.
It's really something. Thesecards show me dancing and even

(02:32:57):
me holding some bitcoins. Here'sthe best part, I'm doing great
things for my trump digital cardcollectors. First, there's the
real physical trump cards.Purchase 15 or more of my trump
digital trading cards and we'llmail you a beautiful physical
trading card. It's really, Ithink, quite something. Each

(02:33:18):
physical trading card has anauthentic piece of my suit that
I wore for the presidentialdebate, and people are calling
it the knockout suit. I don'tknow about that, but that's what
they're calling it. So we'll cutup the knockout suit, and you're
going to get a piece of it, andwe'll be randomly autographing
five of them, a true collector'sitem. This is something to give

(02:33:40):
your family, your kids, yourgrandchildren. Number two is to
purchase 75 of my trump digitaltrading cards, and you will also
be invited to join me for a galadinner at my beautiful country
club in Jupiter, Florida. Wereally have tremendous dinners
with my collectors. Have a lotof fun together. We're gonna
have a good time.

Adam Curry (02:34:00):
Okay, so I need to say a

John C Dvorak (02:34:02):
few things about this unbelievable. First of all,
this definitely tops the Bible,by the way,

Adam Curry (02:34:08):
yeah, well, the Bible, he was just endorsing. He
wasn't actually selling it, butthis, he's selling and so these
are nfts, which is exactly theopposite of what the Bitcoin
people want, which is just dumb.And then they say, Oh, I even
got some bitcoins or whatever,but these are nfts. Gary Gensler

(02:34:29):
has just come out and said nftsare securities, so he can expect
another lawsuit. Oh, yep,they're unregistered securities.
You watch. He came out with ityesterday, and and it's true. Of
course, they are, they areunregistered securities because
you can trade them. Hello.They're called trading cards. So

John C Dvorak (02:34:50):
Pokemon card is like, NFT is now going to be
subject to, uh, SecuritiesExchange Commission. Are you
telling me that?

Adam Curry (02:34:58):
No, because the. The Those are real cards. This is
the digit. It's an NFT. It's alittle different than a Pokemon
Trading Card. It's the samewith, with all these cryptos,
they're all, they're all,they've all been deemed not
commodities. But they except forBitcoin, they've been deemed
securities. I'm just, I'm justanalyzing. It's obvious what's

(02:35:23):
going to happen. Yeah, they're

John C Dvorak (02:35:24):
gonna sue him. He's gonna make a fuss. And
maybe it was designed for that,but

Adam Curry (02:35:29):
it's dumb and so and they cost $99 Yes, $7,500 you
get invited to the gala. Okay,well, you can just donate $7,500

John C Dvorak (02:35:40):
I don't think so. Well, maybe he just said it. I
know what the price? Oh yeah,well, there'll be a bit. That
means there'll be a the placewill be packed with people, and
you'll never get to meet him.

Adam Curry (02:35:49):
Yeah, no, no, that's 75,000 to meet him for a
picture.

Unknown (02:35:54):
Oh yeah,

Adam Curry (02:35:54):
he knows what he's doing. Um, poll Paul came out
according to Axios, moreAmericans embrace covid Vax
untruths, which is aninteresting choice of words,

John C Dvorak (02:36:08):
untruths. Yeah. Big picture the finding they
don't, so they say they don'tembrace covid lies. Yes, the big

Adam Curry (02:36:16):
picture, says Axios. The findings from the University
of Pennsylvania's AnnenbergPublic Policy Center are further
evidence of how intense backlashto the government's at times
muddled covid response erodedtrust in public health,
jeopardizing preparednessefforts to address future crises
of mosquitoes. What they found,28% of respondents to the survey

(02:36:38):
incorrectly believed that covid19 vaccines have been
responsible for 1000s of deaths.Wait,

John C Dvorak (02:36:47):
how can you incorrectly believe?

Adam Curry (02:36:50):
Thank you. I'm glad you caught that they incorrectly
you believe

John C Dvorak (02:36:54):
something. You just believe it. You believe it.
I believe that the sky is green.You're incorrectly would go like
this. I believe he believes thesky is green, although he's
incorrect. They

Adam Curry (02:37:04):
should have said Believe, without evidence,

John C Dvorak (02:37:09):
my favorite phrase, it turns out this is

Adam Curry (02:37:11):
up from 22% in June. 2021 the percentage, oh, who
know this is falling? Okay, sothe percentage who know this is
false declined to 55% from 66%22% believe the false idea that
it's false idea, listen to this,that it's safer to get a covid

(02:37:35):
infection than to get thevaccine. Up from 10% in April
2021, months after the covidshots were rolled out, the
percentage of those incorrectlybelieving that the covid 19
vaccine changes dn people's DNAnearly doubled to 15% from 8%
Wow, you stupid Americans.Stupid, stupid, stupid.

(02:37:59):
Meanwhile, I'd like to get someconfirmation on this, because it
comes from a sub stack in August3333 nurses died suddenly.

John C Dvorak (02:38:12):
Yeah, that's what's his name? There's one guy
I can't remember his name offhand. Who? Dark Mark Crispin
Miller. Mark Crispin, yeah,yeah. Miller, is

Adam Curry (02:38:21):
he full of crap?

John C Dvorak (02:38:23):
All this is all he does. No, he's not full of
crap. Okay? He just documentsevery buddy he can find who died
before the age of 70, eventhough he does it goes beyond
that too, uh, who they don'thave a cause of death, and he
just lists them all as as peoplewho died from the VAX. Well,
he's

Adam Curry (02:38:39):
not saying that. He's not, no,

John C Dvorak (02:38:41):
it's what he No, well, I'm

Adam Curry (02:38:42):
implying, implying it. Was implying it, yes, with
died. So

John C Dvorak (02:38:46):
he's not saying it, but he's, that's what he's
saying. Well,

Adam Curry (02:38:50):
we have a lot of nurses and doctors who are
producers. I'd love to hear ifthey, if they are seeing similar
numbers of of their theircolleagues dying suddenly. I

John C Dvorak (02:38:59):
know a lot of these colleagues have quit the
business because they wouldn'tget this shot. Because what they
saw from people who did get thisshot, and the next thing you
know, they had to get the shot,they said, No, I'm not going to
get the shot. I'm out of here.And that's caused the problem,
same as in the military, withpeople who quit Baron sir

Adam Curry (02:39:19):
spud the mighty says that x apparently still banning.
The hashtag died suddenly, whatI thought it was free speech
over there as Linda, Linda theknob twiddler Can't trust Linda.
And then our Surgeon Generalcame out with an interesting

(02:39:40):
statement this week, assummarized in this clip,

Unknown (02:39:44):
I don't think it's a surprise that parenthood is
stressful. I
think Desiree Terry is themother of three children.
I think we've all been feelingit for a really long time, and
it's wonderful to actually havesome numbers to back it up.
Terry is talking about thefindings in a new surgeon
general advice. Three. Dr VivekMurthy says 48% of parents feel
completely overwhelmed. Thattells us we've got a real

(02:40:07):
challenge, and there's a lotthat's driving that. You know,
parents are they're not onlycontending with the usual
stressors that come with being aparent, worrying about finances
and safety, but they're alsoworried about how to manage
social media and phones fortheir kids. Associate
Professor of child psychiatry atthe University of Chicago, Dr
Holland. F Zell says parents'well being is crucial when it

(02:40:27):
comes to a child's well being. FZell also says the finding about
the role of social media in aparent's life was very
revealing. Murthy also saysemployers should provide more
paid leave for parents andaccess to affordable childcare
and have policies in place thatsupport parents and their mental
health.

Adam Curry (02:40:48):
What kind of psychological warfare is this? I
don't know so well. Don't HaveKids. What it sounds like to me?
Oh, if you weren't worriedenough about the cost and social
media. It's going to stress youout. Yes, my daughter just
turned 34 I'm still stressedout. That's what you do as a

(02:41:11):
parent. It's one of the joys.That's why I want them all to
have kids, to get back at them

Unknown (02:41:18):
and laugh. What do you think it is?

John C Dvorak (02:41:22):
I have no idea. Psychological Warfare nuts. Cut
off. There you go.

Adam Curry (02:41:30):
Oh, okay, that'll do it. Do you want to play one more
clip or so? Just go straightinto the

John C Dvorak (02:41:35):
just from a gut felt show. This is a I'm
wondering, if you can guess,this is Tom Chalu was the host.
He's a funny comic who doesBiden as an imitation. He's very
good at it. This is hobbies thatturn off women. Oh, but before
we play it, what? What would youguess? Podcaster

Adam Curry (02:41:54):
and day trader, let's listen.

John C Dvorak (02:41:59):
Those aren't hobbies. Those are vocations.
The Internet gets reactive tohobbies deemed unattractive.
Tonight, we

Unknown (02:42:07):
examine a viral social media post purportedly ranking
men's hobbies by how attractivethey're perceived by women. And
much to my dismay, wait aminute.

Adam Curry (02:42:16):
Let me think. Let me think collecting Star Wars
figurines. Is that on the list?Yes,

John C Dvorak (02:42:22):
ah, I

Adam Curry (02:42:23):
got one another one would be Star Wars figurines,
video gaming. Video gaming. Oh,you, you

John C Dvorak (02:42:32):
saw this? No, no, I

Adam Curry (02:42:34):
did not. I'm just thinking of what I find
detestable. Hosting

Unknown (02:42:37):
Gutfeld is near the bottom of the list. Now, we
couldn't verify the scientificauthenticity of this poll, but
when has that stopped us?According to the chicks of this
chart, playing video games isthe number one fast track to the
friend zone, followed by thingslike collecting figurines, doing

(02:42:57):
magic, gambling and evenbuilding model trains.

Adam Curry (02:43:03):
You're four for four, don't you have model
trains? I know you've got amodel train set. So, yeah,
you've got when

John C Dvorak (02:43:13):
I was a kid collecting, I like trains a lot.
I didn't build model trains,necessarily, but I do have, have
kept an engine from the 50s thatprobably is worth something, but
I haven't sold it, so itdoesn't, can't prove anything,
but I know guys as adults thatdo trains, and I do, and I do

(02:43:36):
enjoy seeing a good trainlayout. It's very fascinating.
There's a

Adam Curry (02:43:39):
very famous used to be disc jockey in Holland, Eric
gsvart, and he came up a littlebit before me, and he wound up
being co owner of a very big,very popular radio station. Once
commercial stations were radio538, and he is all he, I mean,
he has a train in his backyardthat he can sit on.

John C Dvorak (02:44:03):
Oh, that that's Walt. Disney had one

Adam Curry (02:44:07):
of those and and so now he's, I think he's obviously
still a shareholder, but I don'tthink he works necessarily
anymore in the radio business.He's probably about five years
older than me, and now he drivesthe tram. He's a tram conductor
in, I think, in, I don't know ifit's Rotterdam or Amsterdam, and

(02:44:28):
he's always posting pictures.Well, going to work today, gonna
drive the tram.

John C Dvorak (02:44:36):
Wow, that's a guy who's dedicated to much
something about it. Yeah, train,you know, train and pushing the
lever and making it go, yeah,there's

Adam Curry (02:44:46):
no evidence. He hangs out with hot chicks.

Oh, my God, listen
to that horn. I'm gonna show mysword by donating to no agenda.

Unknown (03:10:18):
The podcast is so good.

Adam Curry (03:10:22):
That has no dynamics

Unknown (03:10:24):
sexism. This is blatant sexism.

Adam Curry (03:10:30):
Well, that would be appropriate for this show. Who
was that? Megyn Kelly, exactly,

John C Dvorak (03:10:41):
and for our last celebrity entry, nailed it,
nailed

Unknown (03:10:45):
it, nailed it.

Adam Curry (03:10:48):
Who was that?

Unknown (03:10:51):
Who does that? Who said that

John C Dvorak (03:10:53):
he has an adenoid an adenoidal voice, and he's
podcasting all the time. ScottAdams, who that was Scott

Adam Curry (03:11:02):

my I only have one entry

Unknown (03:11:07):
breaking
crazy.

Adam Curry (03:11:17):

John C Dvorak (03:11:20):

Adam Curry (03:11:24):
All right. Well, I think we go with Megan. This

Unknown (03:11:26):
is blatant sexism. I

Adam Curry (03:11:28):

think that's a good one. Now,everybody, it's time before we
wind up the show. It is John'sTip of the Day.

Unknown (03:11:42):
And sometimes Adam.

John C Dvorak (03:11:46):
So there's a really good book. I'm going to
plug a book come

Adam Curry (03:11:49):
into the mic.

John C Dvorak (03:11:52):
I can't come in any closer without banging my
nose. I'm going to plug a bookcalled might of the chain. I
don't like the title, but thebook is fantastic. Might of the
chain. Might, might the chain,forging leaders of iron

(03:12:13):
integrity, another subtitle. Idon't like that either, but the
book itself is fabulous. It'sfrom is by Mike studeman, a Rear
Admiral, former retired who isactually something of a of a
spook. He's now working formiter as a national security
fellow. And this book is it'soutrageously interesting. In

(03:12:36):
fact, it's got a blurb by HenryKissinger, that says thoughtful
and engaging. When I read theblurb, I said, one of those
blurbs that you just write. Iused to be an associate with
John Brockman, the New Yorkagent. And he told me very early
on, he says, you know Alan watt,the guy who wrote all the books

(03:12:58):
on Zen Buddhism. He said thatguy, if somebody mentioned
blurb, he says, I'm in and hewould write the blurb. He would
write any blurb for anybody. AndI've taken that same I felt the
same way, always weirded out,but by people who say, Oh no, I
have to read it first. I have todo this. So I read this

(03:13:19):
thoughtful and engaging byKissinger, I said he's one of
those guys just writes phonyblurbs. No, this book is the
most thoughtful book I've everrun into, at least for a couple
of years. It's just loaded withinformation. If you are a
business manager, a guy whowants to get into management, or
if you're in the military, it'sabout leadership, and it's,

(03:13:39):
it's, it's it's just so full oftips. It's, it's great. It's a
meta tip. It's really a goodbook. So it's called might, I
don't like the title. It couldhave been called a lot of
different things, but might ofthe chain by stood studeman, s,
s, t, u, d, e, M, a, n, uh. Geta copy if you can. If you want

(03:14:01):
to have something

Adam Curry (03:14:02):
good to read. Wow. A Reading Tip that doesn't happen
often. Now,

John C Dvorak (03:14:06):
I think once a month I'm going to try to do a
book. No

Unknown (03:14:08):
commercials. More content.
Your no agenda. Tip of the Day.

Adam Curry (03:14:14):

we got Dee's laughs and Davidkecta all coming in with end of
show mixes, good to have youboys on board as usual. End of

(03:14:37):
show. Let's see. That means wehave something coming up next?
Ah yes, behind the schemes withbooberry and lavish live? Is it
live? I don't know if they'relive, but there are. They're on
the no agenda stream, which is24/7 there's no reason to even
turn. You know what we say inthe old days, lock it in and rip

(03:14:58):

adios, mofos, a hooey, hooey andsuch. I don't

Unknown (03:15:35):

people. You think you just felloff a coconut tree.
I think that sounds pretty good.
Every single day,
pick up the kids and pay yourbills,
look lost and confused, so she'dlower everyone's income. Yes,

(03:15:56):
I think that sounds pretty good.
Is that a good thing?
That is a good thing.
You think you just fell out of acoconut tree?
Who the hell is in charge? I
don't know what's wrong with youyoung people, because she is
smart and she is more reliable.Who
the hell is in charge? What
do you think about Donald Trump?

(03:16:17):
He started World war three?
Yeah, yeah. That's just nottrue.
You think you just fell out of acoconut tree?
I think that sounds pretty good.The leader, who's
tough, tested,
yeah, yeah, that's
just not true. A total badass,Sam, you
think you just fell out of a

(03:16:37):
coconut tree?
Look lost and confused,
so she lowered everyone'sincome. Everything is in
context.

Adam Curry (03:16:48):
Is that a good thing?

Unknown (03:16:49):
That is a good thing. You think
you just fell out of the coconuttree. They
don't care about me at all, atall, at all.
Who the hell is in charge
because she is smart and she'smore reliable. They don't want
a population of citizens capableof critical thinking. They don't
want well informed, welleducated people capable of

(03:17:12):
critical thinking. They're notinterested in that. That doesn't
help them.
That's against their interest.That's great.
I don't know what's wrong withyou young people.
The leader who's tough. Hey,this
scorching heat is is happeningglobally, in Canada, and it's
unrelenting.
And one climate scientist atBerkeley, you may have read

(03:17:34):
this, Dave said that this isabsolutely Gob, smackingly
bananas. And that's coming

Adam Curry (03:17:40):
from a scientist. Oh no, a scientist used the word
gobsmack.

Unknown (03:17:45):
Yeah, malicious malaria, mosquitoes are back.
Another gates invention withthis theory a mental attack
stick a thermometer in thisJacuzzi. Planet scorching,
torrential roti. I think I knowwho planned it. Gobsmackingly
bananas. Ocean's a hot tub, andnow they want to cancel winter
in Canada. It's pretty chillyhere all year. Survey everything
and stop almost nothing. Old isthe new fear. What's the cost

(03:18:08):
for you? Citizenship, my boss,

Adam Curry (03:18:10):
it's a Jacuzzi planet. I'm

Unknown (03:18:12):
so cross claiming privacy is necessary to protect
the neck only real way to keepthe masses really in check,
because they don't really rally,distracted with the day to day,
the grind. I mean, the dreck.They don't really rally.
Distracted with the day to day,the grind and the dreck, global
citizen, never made sense to me.You can only live your life as a

(03:18:33):
private, sovereign entity. Canwe all agree collectivism over
your individuality is a hell ofa schism if

John C Dvorak (03:18:40):
you're going to stick a thermometer in the
planet, yeah, to get an accuratetemperature, wouldn't you stick
it into into the planet'sbutthole, or Toronto, as it
were,

Adam Curry (03:18:51):
I already made, sorry.

Unknown (03:18:58):
I think that, listen, we today is actually, I believe,
an anniversary, in terms of DrKing, right? And, and we, I was
just in Selma, and wecelebrated, to acknowledge the
59th anniversary of the BloodySunday. I think it's really
important that we as Americansalways embrace our history, the

(03:19:21):
parts that we're proud of, andthe parts that we're not proud
of, but that we can't forget.And we should all agree that we
should teach history. We shouldlearn history if we're to ever
have an accurate idea of wherewe want to go and where we don't
want to go in the future, andthat means also acknowledging

(03:19:44):
the importance of diversity. Itmeans acknowledging the
importance of the fact thateveryone should have an equal
opportunity to compete andequity. And of course, includes,
you know, hey, let's look aroundthe room and see who's not here.
And. Did we leave the door open?
Kamala, you've done a horriblejob. You've been the worst vice

(03:20:06):
president in the history of ourcountry. Kamala,
you're fired. You're
fired. Get out.
Get out. Yes. Queen, yes. Queen,
this podcast is on
universe. Podcast.org/n, a,
