Adam Curry: Haha, he's going down.
Unknown: Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Sunday, July 7 2019. This is your award winning get
my nation media assassination episode 1153.
Unknown: This is no agenda.
Adam Curry: Watching girls bang their heads and broadcasting
live from the frontier of Austin, Texas Capitol, the drone
Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley words.
Well, it's not everywhere else, but it's not hot here. It's 60
I'm John C. Devorah. Buzzkill.
Adam Curry: And we've been having 98 days here.
John C. Dvorak: It's been freezing all July. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, yesterday, our air conditioner went up. Why is
that funny? cheap ones. Oh, okay. All right, Dvorak. It's
what I could afford on the donations we get.
John C. Dvorak: Okay. Well, it's considering today's donations.
I'm surprised you can even afford to buy anything. So
Adam Curry: first of all, let's let's just start with important
news. How was your experience with the quake? Like no quake,
you didn't feel anything?
John C. Dvorak: You know, this is the funny thing. This is the
classic. You know, there's some fires like, you know, 100 miles
from here, you guys. Okay?
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. Look, I'm just saying that people in Vegas
felt the quake.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, they sure they did. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Phil
feeling the quake. It's just like some just little, a little
nothing is not you know, I suppose you could feel that's
because the quake was closer to Vegas than it was to Los Angeles
at Dunkirk can't get over these. Okay. Oh, Southern California,
Southern California. This is the middle of the Mojave Desert. No,
it's 150 Miles minimum from Los Angeles. This is like from me,
having a quake and having a, you know, Sacramento to San
Francisco Bay Area's 90 miles. 150 Miles is another 60 miles
further. Okay. It's ridiculous that people are making this
okay. It's
Adam Curry: just asked, okay, get on Twitter.
John C. Dvorak: Do what you did. You touched a nerve. I
Adam Curry: did get on Twitter and rage tweet about it. There's
somebody
John C. Dvorak: that's here's something that's very peculiar
that you never heard about which I have a clip. Oh. Well, while
this was going on, there's been quakes up in Canada around BC. I
get the BC quakes clip
Unknown: of three earthquakes rattled the BC Coast today, all
of them significant and all of them classified by seismologists
as aftershocks to a quake that hit earlier this week on
Wednesday. So that quake here was a magnitude 6.2 felt
hundreds of kilometers away. And here early this morning, there
was a 4.7 a five, six and 4.6 all within the space of about 10
minutes. And all that comes less than a day after another quick
and unrelated one, rocking Southern California. It's a
reminder that on the West Coast, bad news can always be right
around the corner. So the CDC center Fletcher explores just
how prepared we are.
freeze dried food it's prebuilt survival kits its water
filtration or storage. This for example is our
venue platinum sells earthquake hits at the total prepare store
in Victoria. She says sales tend to go up every time there's a
significant earthquake.
Yeah, we've been seeing a bit more foot traffic and a few more
phone ins with questions and things on my traffic's ticked up
a little bit. Yeah, the earthquakes
are how it stems from the series of morning aftershocks off BC
Central Coast enough to jolt Sam out of bed. Now,
Adam Curry: since they changed the scale, we really have no
idea what it means because I recall the Washington DC quake.
John C. Dvorak: No. Hey, I
Adam Curry: was there. Yeah, it was it cracked the Washington
Monument. Do you mean you don't remember this question? I
John C. Dvorak: remember the cracking of the Washington
Monument. Yes.
Adam Curry: So do you mean just see what what because I remember
that one. I wonder
John C. Dvorak: if all these quakes done in the Mojave? They
showed us some videos. And this some of those videos are pretty
violent. Yes. Of the stores and I'm thinking this was supposed
to be a six two or is this the 557171
Adam Curry: is what they said it was
John C. Dvorak: seven ones bothersome that they've changed.
Adam Curry: I'm looking at the August 23 2011 magnitude 5.8
earthquake Now does this before they changed to the momentous
bit changed for years and years. Well, this is eight years ago.
So I'm asking was this line thing?
John C. Dvorak: It's still after the change I needed to change.
Okay, so
Adam Curry: the 5.8 was pretty significant. I remember that
one. I was there. So a 7.1. Change. Yeah, we've talked about
it.
John C. Dvorak: Rosie Hennessy. Yeah, we definitely we haven't
talked about we bitch about it constantly. So you have a 6.2
and BC area, it's off the coast. But that doesn't mean anything
compared to we just as useless.
Adam Curry: The thing that I is interesting is the location of
these quakes in California. It's not the San Andreas fault. No,
it's
John C. Dvorak: nowhere near it is
Adam Curry: right near the actually not. It's almost on the
China Lake weapons test site.
John C. Dvorak: Yes,
Adam Curry: I hate to say it.
John C. Dvorak: I hate to say it,
Adam Curry: I love to say it. What are we doing there? are we
testing the earthquake machine again? Or did you guys bore too
many's up too many tunnels, the DC thing I kind of understood,
you know, with all the secret train tunnels everywhere. And
some even claim that they've, you know, tunnels or trains that
go all the way to Colorado, to the backup site. Yeah, we've
heard this. We don't know if it's true. But if you start
drilling around in the earth, and you know, you can get stuff
going wacky. Look at the northern part of Holland,
Estonia.
John C. Dvorak: That's because of the fracking, right?
Adam Curry: That's because of fracking. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway,
John C. Dvorak: that gets out of control up there that Holland
dairy where the fracking is just going nuts,
Adam Curry: nothing, nothing, nothing like nothing like the
7.1 I spoke to people in California who you know, I lived
in Los Angeles. I live in San Francisco. I don't think I've
really witnessed any earthquakes when I was in San Francisco and
Los Angeles several. And you get real blase as a fan and whatever
is a quakes fine. Well, even
John C. Dvorak: when you witness them, you still you still
Adam Curry: get blase, but the people I spoke to were like this
was a little more than then the blase type feeling. Some people
were rattled by this one.
John C. Dvorak: Well, there were a lot of people were rattled by
the at night. Remember this story with PC computing was a
major player back in 1989 with a Loma Prieta earthquake and it
was hit the peninsula quite hard most of the peninsula and it hit
the Bay Area in general. And it was an but people who've never
experienced any sort of earthquake there's a low note
with a big quake. That is disconcerning it really shake
issued a bolton Rattler, man it makes you very uneasy and there
was a whole bunch of people who were from New York that were in
the offices a piece of computing on that day and they flew out as
fast as they used they just get out got out of town because they
would refuse to come to California after that. And it
had to be because of the effect of this low note that occurs in
many courts.
Adam Curry: It's like ground loop resonance it's a it's a
horrible it's a horrible like you're right it goes through
your bones because it is a vibration that your body gets in
tune with.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, it's a it's a harmonic vibration
resonance is the one that they used to kill people
Adam Curry: Yeah. Wait a minute. Who uses that to kill people
with
John C. Dvorak: well we have evidence that there's been
weapons developed that develop like a five cycle note or
something at very high frequencies that it shakes
people and kills them blows up your liver or something like
that.
Adam Curry: Oh, wait, I think I have an example of it I'm hoping
John C. Dvorak: at a bigger time he's gotta be better
Adam Curry: I know hey, it's it's July What can I tell you? I
don't have the Oh yeah, here it is. This is the one okay
everybody get ready. We're going to kill you.
John C. Dvorak: Yo, that's another problem that
Adam Curry: that's the zenergy chime we can kill you with that
one for sure.
John C. Dvorak: Definitely gets your attention anyway. But
anyway, I'm always bothered by these California State as the
status I got an 800 miles long or something and it's isn't
something happens in California it really only affects a very
small area of the giant state giant state
Adam Curry: so you're not worried about anything happening
up there are you
John C. Dvorak: know I think still think the big the big
Whopper that's going to be dangerous is supposed to hit
Southern California
Adam Curry: according to all that it won't it won't hit
Northern California
John C. Dvorak: not know the next one. will eventually
something's gonna hit Northern California because
Adam Curry: I'm lining a backup host so I'm just want to get you
just gave you on the gate.
John C. Dvorak: Hey, if anyone could do the show and Quake it's
me.
Adam Curry: Yes. If you live
John C. Dvorak: noticed. Yeah. Hey, I
Adam Curry: think we both may be wrong. A rare occasion.
John C. Dvorak: Well, as we had to wait, we
Adam Curry: were referring to the shoes. Yeah, the shoes.
John C. Dvorak: I was trying to get out of it.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. Go on. No, I'm not trying to get out of
anything. I don't go on. I have no i My research has not
stopped. We have a small disagreement. John has the
feeling that Nike set up The controversy over the Betsy Ross
shoe with Kaepernick as a PR stunt to sell more shoes. I
vehemently disagree. I believe it was blackmail, that they were
shamed into doing this and money mine had been paid or should
have been paid. It was blackmail. We both agreed that
if the shoes go on sale, then John would be correct. If not, I
would be correct. I think we're both wrong. And that is based on
a podcast because gosh, you can't get anything from the
mainstream. I kept trying to find out who actually brought
this into the media. And again, it's unnamed sources. People
familiar with the matter from an Associated Press from PBS from
the Wall Street Journal. All three of them reported on this
story. None of them have any quotes. Nike did not mention
Kaepernick in any of their communications. Kaepernick has
not publicly communicated anything regarding the matter.
But of all people, Adam Carolla sometimes confused with me, the
actual pod father does a podcast with Mark Geragos and his client
as we discussed in the previous episode is Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick Kaepernick amongst other prominent people like
Jussie Smollett so fine, fine guy to do a podcast where they
do it. It's called the What is this podcast called? It's called
reasonable doubt. And Corolla asked Gary go straight up,
what's going on with this?
Unknown: I would be wildly inconsistent if I didn't scream
at your boy, Colin Kaepernick for this,
Adam Curry: how racist is that? Sorry, but you can't see
John C. Dvorak: me this is cracking me up right away, and
just say your boy Colin
Adam Curry: Kaepernick, unless he's not black. I don't know
what's going on Corolla.
Unknown: I would be wildly inconsistent if I didn't scream
at your boy, Colin Kaepernick for the stupid Nike tweet, but
or whatever he did. But
Adam Curry: the interesting point there was get the facts
straight. I know this, but Gary goes is going to come in and he
has some interesting data points. How
Unknown: does that work? Why does Nike cave? Why does he give
a shit and what's going on? Are you teasing? Or should we? I'm
asking, I'm asking,
Okay, I just saw an article that Nike increased their market cap
by $3 billion since dropping it.
Adam Curry: Now, he'll repeat this, and we'll talk about this
maybe later. But this was a meme that was propagating very
quickly. Oh, Nike, three D, they made $3 billion. No one seems to
understand what market cap is about anymore. So good man, they
did a good job. They made $3 billion dollars $3 billion rich
everybody getting paid no. The stock price went up a percent
was like a point and a half. Oh, so it's its market cap value.
And it can go down by 5 billion tomorrow. But this was it's
interesting that this is now brought up.
John C. Dvorak: This explained just real short. in market cap
is short for market capitalization, which is for all
practical purposes, which has to be separated from enterprise
value, which people can do on the dig and looked at went up.
But market cap is if you sold all if you took the stock
today's price of the stock and liquidated it at that price at
that moment. That's what that number is
Adam Curry: right. And they're about $108 billion. The stock
went up over over two days went up about a point and a half. It
goes up it goes down it goes up it goes down you know they won't
report on you know the losing billions of dollars because
that's not what you do. The only time it's interesting is when
someone hits the trillion dollar market cap such as Apple and
then you know, they dropped below it and it's not like
anyone made or lost money except perhaps investors who played the
stock market. We continue. I'm asking Okay,
Unknown: I just saw an article that Nike increased their market
cap by $3 billion dollars since dropping it. And I my guess as
to what happened.
Adam Curry: free by the way, he's guessing he knows damn
well.
Unknown: Are you privy to any of this stuff? Yes,
yes. They showed they the shoe was shown to him. He had
expressed a reservations about them using the shoe. They
decided to drop it somebody at the I assume it Nikes
headquarters. Apparently a disgruntled somebody decides
they're going to leak it to I want to say the Wall Street
Journal.
Adam Curry: Now this is interesting. So he says he
presumes it was a disgruntled employee. No, there was no
mention in any of these articles, a disgruntled employee
or someone who was pissed off, so he's really making an
assumption. And I think he's full of shit here.
Unknown: And it becomes a firestorm all this week. But
like you Do you have the last laugh? Because I just looked
this morning, and they've put 3 billion on the market cap, while
Under Armour, Adidas and Puma were all down substantially in
this market.
How does the process work where they vet the shoe with him?
He is, you know, he's the face of the just do it. 30 years 30th
anniversary campaign. And by the way, as people, people with
people, I don't think understand just about how effective that
has been. They they know what they're doing. I mean, they know
who their demographic is. Their demographic is not Ted Cruz.
Their demographic is not. You know, that Governor why and I
don't want to mispronounce his Is he trying
Adam Curry: to say the demographic is black people?
What is he trying to say? Did he telling us who it's not
Unknown: do che are douchey? In Arizona, right. So that's not
that's not the target demo. The target demo? Are people who are
who have a web of viewpoints. And
Adam Curry: so Oh, really? No, not the piece. People who have a
viewpoint that's the target to social justice, warriors
John C. Dvorak: persuasion.
Unknown: Are people that hate
the half behavior, by the way, privately, he
didn't show well, this is this is
less to come from them.
Here's, here's what I want to say. Here's my honest take on
this. I draw a great distinction between stuff that is done in
public and stuff that is done in private. And I do, again, I draw
a distinction. Now I don't I don't like that we live in a
country where we vet choose with Kaepernick, and then he gives
the thumbs down because they have 13 stars on it. I don't
like that. That's what our society has become. But we're
living in it. And if people are doing it for publicity, then I
really don't like it. If the if the intent is to quietly go
about this and get on with our lives, I have a different
viewpoint of the transaction. And you are telling me that they
show it to him, he gives notes. And then theoretically, they
quietly go back and implement his notes without the like,
like, we would never know that this shoe existed. If this
person from Nike who was disgruntled didn't leak it.
It's all I can I'm trying connecting the dots, because he
certainly there was no way that he was the one who was saying
that or releasing that or anything else. And obviously,
you know, the shoe was time for July 4, the, the the leak, and
the story went viral because of the Fourth of July. And and so
that's I'm with you. I in terms of if it's done quietly, look,
I've got reservations about it, which is exactly what was done.
He certainly wasn't the one who released it.
I got an idea for you to pitch and
Adam Curry: so he's talking about the leak? I don't know.
For sure. It seems the shoes were already at retail.
John C. Dvorak: Yes, that's what I understand. And because that's
how they're winding up on eBay. Yeah. And that would make no
sense. What's his his basic thesis is that the shoes were
kept secret. And this one guy leaked them, which doesn't
obviously the case. I would posit to get to use my words.
It's my word. I would say that I'm still sticking with my
original thesis, but it's possible that what could have
been the fly in the ointment was someone at the company saying
Hey, this looks if we bring out these shoes on July the fourth,
this looks like exploitation of the American flag and this is
not going to go over. We should probably you know and they
didn't they decided to pull the shoes or do something and then
maybe bring them out later.
Adam Curry: And then maybe they blamed it on Kaepernick.
John C. Dvorak: I don't know who blamed it on camera. I think
it's just I think if there's a disgruntled ie the least one on
Capitol Yes, exactly. I'm pretty sure Kaepernick had nothing to
do with it. Why are they running a shoe idea past him now and
John George John John Jaffa, Nicosia you liked this color.
John.
Adam Curry: If you're gonna run something past, a guy who's
ultimate input can't stop the shoe. He had don't do that when
they're at retail. So it's just bullshit. Kaepernick may have
nothing to do with it.
John C. Dvorak: I'm pretty sure he doesn't. But I think he's
been told to just shut up and you know, we'll we'll take care
of it later.
Adam Curry: Now let's look at this market cap because this
would this story went viral, like Oh, Nike rakes in $3
billion. Okay, so let's just take the stupidity this stupid
interpretation of that Like it was a good thing for them not to
do this. What does that mean for future social justice movements
by this company or any other brand? That has something to
say?
John C. Dvorak: Is the idea and personally I don't think it
means anything. Because while some people were all jacked up
about I don't think the company kept one way or the other, no,
but it kept goes up and down, cause I'm
Adam Curry: talking about perception. This is what people
are. This is this is the story. Now the story is they understand
John C. Dvorak: that, but it did company themselves. I don't
think now.
Adam Curry: You're missing my point. You're missing my point.
From a social justice perspective, would it now be in
Nikes? It True we know has nothing to do really with market
cap. People believe that now, so let's just leave it as it is.
From a social justice warrior perspective, is it good or not
good for Nike to portray its brand values in his product and
in his advertising? Based on the fact that the market cap went up
when they clearly showed their brand values?
John C. Dvorak: I don't know that. I would, I would say it
makes a difference personally.
Adam Curry: You're being too literal about it. Okay, it's all
right. I'm trying to I'm trying to ask you a different question.
And you're just not understanding what I'm asking.
John C. Dvorak: Well, what give me clarify. Okay,
Adam Curry: so forget that. Were
John C. Dvorak: you think that my Nikes gonna be more react?
No,
Adam Curry: I'm not talking about Nike. I'm talking about
people. People will they now think we're
John C. Dvorak: gonna give a shit about my Nikes market cap?
I don't know I completely befuddled by what you're trying
to ask me.
Adam Curry: Okay, nevermind. Now actually, I'm annoyed by the
fact you don't understand what I'm saying. We know the market
cap is bullshit. The perception is they made $3 billion. That's
just the perception. We just leave that as
John C. Dvorak: the perception amongst
Adam Curry: i It's I know, who do you think I'm talking about?
The wheel? The idiots trying
John C. Dvorak: to make the claim that social justice
warriors are idiots? All right.
Adam Curry: Yes, I am. And here's Andrew Doyle, writer and
comedian and gay man at the BBC complaining about the social
justice warriors and the brand values who are hijacking gayness
and pride. I think
Unknown: we're all used to the idea of corporations and
companies cynically exploiting gay people for a quick buck, I
think, I think yeah, absolutely. It's always been the pink pound,
you know, it's a longer ongoing thing. I think now, what's
happened there is there's a kind of critical mass. And I
completely take on board what you're saying. I think, though,
we have to accept that there is a sense that this is this
slightly distasteful. This is a flag that after all, this is
related to activism and the concept of pushing for equal
rights. And now it is being manipulated as a kind of a kind
of indicator that you are good, that you are virtuous.
John C. Dvorak: That guy talks so fast, if you if you could get
it, you can't do it on the fly, obviously. But if you could
tweak his, his, his equalization. So he's because he
would sound like Ben Shapiro,
Adam Curry: a British gay Ben Shapiro acted
Unknown: as a kind of a kind of indicator that you are good,
that you are virtuous, and that you're on, quote, unquote, the
right side of history. And that's not what it should be
about. That's not what it should be meaning and I think a lot of
gay people in particular, are starting to feel that this is
misrepresenting what they stand for. Um, and I went into a very
popular Japanese chain, I won't say what it's called. And the
mat told me that they weren't weren't proud that they didn't
discriminate against LGBT people. And my feeling about
that is, well, why would you my default expectation is that you
wouldn't, we don't live in a society where that sort of thing
is acceptable. And it reminds me of when people started a
campaign where they wore safety pins to broadcast the idea that
they're not racist. Again, I would assume you weren't. And
I'd feel a lot more comfortable about these corporations doing
this. If, for instance, they'd have done the same before the
Equality Act in 2010. If they've done the same before section 28
was repealed in 2003. If they did the same, before the age of
consent was equalized in 2001, we have to accept that they've
taken a market decision to make as much money as possible. And
they alkylated that,
Adam Curry: I guess what I was getting at is, is the era of
brand values and virtue signaling those brand values,
which really aren't their values or mission statement, but their
marketing values, is that over or is it really just starting to
ramp up big? And so on the one hand, I feel that people feel
vindicated by saying See, when you are social justice warrior,
and I see then then you you win as a company. And here on the
other side is the BBC, I liked the term the pink pound I
thought that was a good term. who this guy is saying, Hey,
we're being exploited and it's an it's an inject disingenuous.
John C. Dvorak: Get in line. Yeah, of course it is.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but what do you think I, to me, it sounds
like he's just on the cusp of getting worse. That's I guess
that's what my
John C. Dvorak: good be. I mean, it's possible. It's not going to
get better. I think these guys would look for it. Whatever.
What happened? It would be like, Oh, the market cap went up.
That's great because that means that we worked. Oh, the market
cap went down. Oh, that's great. That shows that we have an
effect. You can't win with these people. Right. By the way, I
just safety printing I forgot about that. I was thinking
Adam Curry: about we follow. I remember we followed that
movement.
John C. Dvorak: I remember the safety pin thing. We talked
about it, but I'm thinking, I gotta get everyone to send me
lists of things like this short term phenomenon that we're
faddish, and we've kind of not even noticed our faddish. They
were Gangnam Style. I mean, these
Adam Curry: years Katie Hopkins from 2016 are the report on the
safety pins. My
Unknown: biggest rage this week has been about safety pins and a
race hate. So I am sick to death of hearing about a race hate in
the wake of the leave vote. I think it's entirely a conjecture
that's been drempt up by sore losers from the remain campaign
in order to try and make it sound like a race. Haters are
people that voted leave that we are thick, that we are stupid,
and that we are racist, and frankly, we are not. So
Adam Curry: that's interesting. I completely forgot that it
happened around the Brexit vote. So it was a way to it was just a
way to virtue signal that you're not a hater. Like all those
Brexit tears were my safety pin. We used to wear safety pins as
earrings back in the 70s. And we'd have a safety pin. You know
if the sun hadn't been through your nose, I had one on my lapel
it was it was all the rage bloody.
Unknown: It was all the rage tells
John C. Dvorak: me to meet.
Adam Curry: Let's talk briefly about the Fourth of July which
was America's celebration.
John C. Dvorak: Which was a real dud.
Adam Curry: Let's let's start with the the the compilation
just before the celebration from the M five M who were
pontificating about what they expected it to be. Sorry,
John C. Dvorak: did you know that it took $2 million away
from some from the National Parks? Yes,
Adam Curry: those bastards
Unknown: Donald Trump has hijacked the nation's previously
nonpartisan Fourth of July celebration. Is this just
your arm defying or is there anything dangerous about it's
just obscene and
the speech is going to be dreadful? They're going to have
their Confederate flags flying and their license plates and all
kinds of trouble making it look your criticism
of his critics. You will hear a celebration of self
there'll be a lot of other people are going to meet like a
storm and you're gonna have a real conflict. There's all kinds
of catastrophes. They're not sure if the bridges over the
Potomac can handle the tanks he's heard in a traditionally
nonpartisan
event into a Trump focus campaign style rally sure looks
like a partisan reelection rally on public space.
Donald Trump's campaign rally in Washington paid for by the
American taxpayer a campaign event
some kind of a campaign speech a political rally partisan events
combination Trump rally and Kim Jong on style military parade
the
President's vision bears a closer resemblance to the chest
thumping displays put on by authoritarian regimes This is
the kind of military display that we were used to seeing from
the Soviet Union
I'm thinking Red Square, North Korea
Egypt to hope for violence would be of course treasonous. Not to
expect it would be naive.
Adam Curry: Oh, they were all so disappointed.
John C. Dvorak: These people are od troll by the way I'm gonna
give you a borderline big I know where you got that you still you
didn't put it together dynamite compilation now
Adam Curry: from a production and television production
standpoint what a piece of shit show that was horrible. Had did
no one think that the ballistic glass would get wet and look
like he was should start singing the rhythm of the rain. I mean,
it was really first of all, what's the deal with the
ballistic glass? That's new.
John C. Dvorak: I have no idea but was just is one of those
situations, I guess. I don't know is the snipers
Adam Curry: secondarily secondarily. If you use the
Lincoln Memorial as your backdrop, don't put people in
front of Lincoln. You could not see Lincoln sitting there the
grand majestic shot that it was supposed to be this was this was
a botch a total botch it looked like shit. It made the president
look very weak behind this glass. The you could not see the
statuesque pneus of the setting. The weather was sad. I don't
know If the tanks didn't roll out because of the weather,
John C. Dvorak: they were never intended to roll out that was
all that was all that was all conjunction John Lake MSNBC,
they're gonna be rolling tanks.
Adam Curry: I did like seeing the stealth bomber that was
cool. Like that thing. That's I don't think I've seen one fly
that close to
John C. Dvorak: the ground. That's a beautiful play was
badass like, Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think got the Blue Angels and they did their
John C. Dvorak: little angels here all the time. I don't see
what we got Fleet Week. I mean they have him every week cause
more money than that event did apparently every football
Adam Curry: game we have these flyovers. But it really it you
know, the speech was very rare. I understand what he was trying
to do. Now luckily, luckily, he made it a little bit more
exciting with this massive gaff
Unknown: and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army
manned the air. It ran the ramparts. He took over the
airports it did everything it had to do.
Adam Curry: And I'm like, did he say their ports? Did Did Did
that just come out wrong? No, he said the airports or ports he
said that took over the airport. Now there. Now of course, you
know, this was not his fault, as you can imagine.
Unknown: Never his fault. There was
Adam Curry: an excuse. Yeah, the
Unknown: teleprompter went out, it kept going on. And then at
the end, it just went out. It went kaput. So I could have said
that. And actually right in the middle of that sentence went
out. And that's not a good feeling. I guess the rain
knocked out the teleprompter. So but no, it's not that I knew the
speech very well. So I was able to do without a teleprompter.
But the teleprompter did go out. And it was actually hard to look
at anyway because it was rain all over it. You know? Well, I'm
Adam Curry: not buying I'm buying. I'm not buying that.
John C. Dvorak: I don't know. But here's what we're missing in
here. And this is something we because we never I don't think
we collected any clips of this. Fact I'm pretty sure because I
don't remember him. But I do remember the moment where he
rants and raves and goes on and on and on about Obama and his
teleprompters. Yes. And then this and now we got him all
addicted to teleprompters out of the blue which is, you know,
teleprompters are what they are.
Adam Curry: But it's worse than that. On whitehouse.gov It has
his speech. And he says our army man the air, it rammed the
ramparts, it took over the airports. It did everything it
had to do. Come on. I mean, it's either in the prompter correctly
or it's not it's either in the speech correctly, or it's not.
He was either sabotaged. But I doubt a little bit of rain.
SPECT was done. Now, it made Twitter fun, because I just love
the memes. You know, you have George Washington in a fly,
trying to board an airplane
John C. Dvorak: solo Garcia when you bring it up as sabotage, or
is it done on purpose? Sometimes you have to wonder,
Adam Curry: die, don't think this was on but he really wanted
this to be a great salute to the military. He loves all that
stuff. And he was narrating the flyovers. You know, he wanted
this to be a great show. The weather was crap and the setting
was crap was a shit show. It wasn't horrible.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I don't know one way or the other
because I think I'm like most people, unless I was standing
there in the audience. I never saw in a second of it. I didn't
see one second, but it was the wrong time and this for the West
Coast. I had other things to do. So you covered it for the show.
Yes,
Adam Curry: I did. I covered it for the show. I liked seeing as
I said, I like seeing our stealth bomber I always know I'm
an Air Air guy aircraft guy is I'd like seeing that. Now in all
this unhinged crap over what it cost please give me a break. And
now they're all butthurt that he didn't didn't go off and make it
into a campaign rally. And now they I didn't clip it cuz I got
bored of it, but they were calling it Schoolhouse Rock
explanation of our history. Okay, fine.
John C. Dvorak: Who cares? Exactly as it's like Gangnam
Style. But then
Adam Curry: we get the news dropping all of a sudden, which
always seems to happen on show days.
Unknown: Millionaire Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested on new
sex trafficking charges. A source tells CBS four federal
agents took him into custody yesterday at a New Jersey
airport after he was indicted on one count of sex trafficking and
one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. Federal
agents also searched his home. Epstein has long faced
accusations of sexually abusing underage girls he'll be in court
tomorrow.
Adam Curry: Now this is going to have a long tail.
John C. Dvorak: Well, the thing is what happened, what change?
What did they do to the to someone busted into his place
and grab the evidence against all these highfalutin folk that
could be, you know, embarrassed by the Epstein revelations,
which would definitely occur.
Adam Curry: Well, there's two things. There's something else
that took place last week. And that was the unsealing of all of
these court cases, which is about 2000 documents, one of
which is very, very clearly indicts President Trump than
Donald J. Trump, the businessman as a pedophile rapist, the man
and you know, it's a it's a Jane Doe and a Tiffany doe. And I
these are not being re litigated. There is apparently
two new indictments against Epstein that will be open to the
public tomorrow. But the what you're reading on the social
media, just to show you the derangement, as he's going down,
the pedophile has gone down, and Acosta, his lawyer, who should
go down because the deal that that Jeffrey Epstein got, was
clearly an elitist bull crap punishment. This guy should be
behind bars for the rest of his life with his cohorts. What's
the Maxwell daughter? She was the recruiter. It all ties into
even I think it even ties into that Nexium sex cult. It's a
mess. Now, is Trump involved in it? I don't know.
John C. Dvorak: It seems doesn't seem like his style.
Adam Curry: Well, he's not afraid of it. And I and I can I
think this this shows proof 2015 CPAC when he was being vetted by
the CPAC. For the the role of president Sean Hannity asked him
specifically about Bill Clinton, here was the answer.
Unknown: Bill Clinton, nice guy. Got a lot of problems coming up,
in my opinion with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein, a
lot of problems.
Adam Curry: Now, he wouldn't say that if he expected himself to
have a lot of problems. I would
John C. Dvorak: agree with that.
Adam Curry: So who I mean,
John C. Dvorak: but he probably was close enough to to it to
know that Clinton has a lot of problems. Yes. And he was on the
plane or he's, you knew Epstein.
Adam Curry: I don't think Trump was ever on the plane. I think
he flew his own plane. I'm pretty sure he was there at
least once
John C. Dvorak: a year. You're probably right about that. If he
ever went there. Why would you go on? going on here. This is
one of those things where you want to go to dinner with some
friends and there's a bunch of people gonna go oh, we'll pick
you up. Now I'll take my own car because I want I don't want to
stay.
Adam Curry: So just to reiterate, for people who are
new to the case, Jeffrey Epstein, very wealthy hedge fund
manager. He had an he has, I think, still an island. And
that's where he allegedly flew underage girls down there that
were recruited and then they would wind up having sex with
with his guests. Prince Andrew has been implicated. Who's the
prince from Monaco? whatever his name is Grimaldi last name
Grimaldi Bill Clinton. Now there's a lot of Bill Clinton in
this he apparently took 25 or 26 trips on Epstein's private as
737 airplane known as the Lolita Express. But this one really
comes down to who was who was black mailable. Then who do they
have on camera? Because that's the part that that is
interesting. And all this paperwork is Epstein had cameras
everywhere, presumably to blackmail politicians and other
rich folk? Yeah, technique. So I personally don't think
anything's gonna come out of this. Except maybe Epstein will
go to jail for a long time where he belongs, but I don't think
we're gonna see anything massively interesting. Come out
of it.
John C. Dvorak: I'm not gonna argue with that. And probably
even the Clinton stuff won't come out good as we still have
the opportunity for
Adam Curry: the opportunity for what?
John C. Dvorak: Well, bills getting old.
Adam Curry: Oh, is it bills time? Is this the embarrassment
that just goes a little bit too far for the hag as Hillary
assassination group?
John C. Dvorak: I don't know. Do you have anything? Do you have
anything on this sick that we kept bringing this up and I'm
not going to bring it up anymore.
Adam Curry: So I take it you don't have any clips or anything
on this? No, I
John C. Dvorak: have none. But I do have a clip backing up to the
Trump flub. Okay. There was a one of the big stories that was
this week was the census, the census question as to the Yes.
Are you a citizen which has become a scandalous question.
And so I have two clips on this and one of them is funnier than
the other. But let's start with the PBS version of this of this
story, which is an important story.
Unknown: President Trump said he is considering issuing an
executive order to get a citizenship question added to
the 2020. US Census. This after the Supreme Court ruling last
week to block the federal government from adding that
question. Mr. Trump spoke to reporters this morning, before
he left for a weekend at his New Jersey Golf Club.
I just spoke with the Attorney General we have a number of
different avenues we could use. All of them are one. We're doing
very well on that issue. We're spending 15 to $20 billion on a
census. We're doing everything we're finding out everything
about everybody. Think of it 15 to $20 billion and you're not
allowed to ask them Are you a citizen?
Adam Curry: I don't like it when the President says quote, we're
finding out everything about everybody don't like that.
That's not what the census is supposed to be. It's very simple
was to
John C. Dvorak: be a headcount, but they've got gotten carried
away because they use it as marketing information is what
they're that's precisely
what the Jews for Yes, marketing. You're
Adam Curry: so right.
John C. Dvorak: As Jews for marketing, all right. So
meanwhile, NBC decided to do a story on the sense of story. And
now you have to listen to this just complete presentation
classic NBC, which is, you know, part of the MSNBC operation the
way around, but same thing. So why do they present now this is
a distortion specifically about the census question. And what
listened to the way this presented and what what spurious
information because apparently, they had no other outlet for
this information. So they decided to slam Trump in an
awkward way with this story. I just was beside myself
Unknown: and Washington, President Trump is engaged in a
new war of words tonight with former Vice President Joe Biden
and refusing to back down in his battle to get a question about
citizenship on the Census. Nichols has more.
Well, last night fresh off his military themes salute to
America. The future belongs to us.
The President blaming this flub about George Washington's army.
It took over the airports it did everything it had to do on a
teleprompter snafu
that teleprompter went out. And that's not a good feeling.
And today, the President announcing he's still trying to
find a way to ask a question about citizenship on the census,
after the Supreme Court had stopped the Administration's
efforts
working in a lot of things, including an executive order.
Mr. Trump's
comments come as government lawyers scramble to find a legal
way to carry out his orders, despite their conclusion earlier
in the week that no such pathway exists. Meanwhile, in the race
to take on the President Joe Biden telling CNN he was not
ready for those debate attacks from Senator Kamala Harris on
race and busing in the 1970s.
I was prepared to come after me but I wasn't prepared for the
person coming at me the way she came out. She knew Beau she
knows me. I don't know anyway,
but insisting that he wouldn't be caught with his guard down
against the man he wants to replace
the idea that I'd be intimidated by Donald Trump. He's the bully
that I knew my whole life. He's the bully that I've always stood
up to.
I don't think I'm a bully at all. I just don't like taking
being taken advantage of by other countries. You look at
what we've straightened out. The I call it the Obama Biden, you
Mater was straightening it out.
As for that citizenship question, administration lawyers
told a federal judge and Maryland today that they will be
pursuing all options, but the government has already started
printing census forms without it.
Adam Curry: This whole clip was like a ratatouille. Yeah. It
was.
John C. Dvorak: First day bless Trump for saying airports and
then they got this Biden part about him and Kamla Harris is
gonna beat him up this have to do with the story.
Adam Curry: Well, they had to fill a minute and 54 seconds
apparently,
John C. Dvorak: it was my jaw dropped when I watched this of
this package. It was like, how am I talking about the story and
not Biden and Harris and Ben Trump in the airport. Just read
this is how bad NBC has become debt was a piece of crap that
report
Adam Curry: NPR did a piece on the Census and they brought in
the former from 2000 Who did the 2009 census. So the former
census director, I guess you'd call him Kenneth Pruitt, and I
have three short clips to share of his his interview.
Unknown: The remarkable thing about what happened in 1942,
basically, but using 1940 census data with a roundup of the
Japanese Americans on the West Coast, is that we're still
talking about it. 70 years later, every cent So as it comes
along, once again, the Japanese case gets brought to the
surface. And the argument always is you can't trust the Census
Bureau look what they did back in 1940. So yes, it casts a very
long, dark shadow. This is going to be a census as it's shaping
up right now, which will leave a partisan marker on the census, I
think for a very long time.
Now, let's just
Adam Curry: get something very straight, because I've heard
this Japanese round up Japanese Americans, that it was super
egregious because they were Americans. And, you know,
they're conflating now a question about citizenship,
which has been on many, many census questionnaires. With with
this, this absolute stain in American history, unfairly. And
here's, here's why this is all the problem. Would you talk a
little
Unknown: bit more for people who still don't understand this
issue? Why it is that a question like that could suppress
people's willingness to participate.
The current environment in the United States is one of mistrust
of government having nothing to do with the census. And also
anxiety about privacy, again, having nothing to do with a
census having to do with the Facebook, Revelations, and so
forth, and so on. So it's a setting right now, or a
political setting, in which it's kind of very hard to do this
job. There's only one definition of a good census. And that's one
that counts everyone correctly only once and only in the right
place. That's what makes a good census.
Adam Curry: And I guess that means you count everybody, you
even if they're here illegally. And the problem with that is
it's not just about redistricting or or number of
representatives, it does really it all revolve around money.
Unknown: If the census is inaccurate. What effect does it
have?
Well, if there's a differential undercount, that is, some groups
are missed have higher rates and other groups are some regions
geographic areas are missed at higher levels. In other regions,
the amount of money that is tied to Census results is in the
billions, the amount of that money does not change, only its
allocation changes. So a state or demographic group, which is
under counted in the census will get the less than its fair
share. And by definition, those which were totally counted 100%,
they will get part of an unfair share, because they're getting
the money that's left over from the people that were not
counted. So that's a big consequence. Because you're
talking about healthcare, you're talking about transportation
systems, you talked about disaster preparedness, large
number of things, which get federal support are allocated on
the basis of the fundamental Census count.
Adam Curry: And now you understand why politicians don't
want any segregation. Because then if if someone says, Hey,
I'm not a citizen, but I'm here, that'd be great. Thank you very
much. You do not count for extra money, or something like that?
John C. Dvorak: No, no, there's no evidence of that. You still
get big money? If you are there one reason or that you may not
get the representation in Congress. Okay. Which would,
which is also the big deal? Yeah. I don't think the money is
part of that.
Adam Curry: Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the
Supreme Court say, Look, you guys are just a mess, come back
and ask again, when you've got your shit straightened out. I'm
paraphrasing to an extreme degree. Well, maybe that's
exactly how Ginsburg said
John C. Dvorak: it, but I don't think they said that. But I
think this what this meant,
Adam Curry: okay, so can they come back in time from before
this is done, or
John C. Dvorak: according to the NBC report, which is executive
order information? They're already printing the things
without the question on it. Well, then, what's the problem?
But we don't know. Well, because well, first of all, we don't
know that if that's true, because the NBC report was so
poorly done. It could just be a pack of lies. I don't know. I
mean, they can stop the printing process and start over. I mean,
I have no idea. Donald Trump is adamant about this. He had
something
Adam Curry: like 19 billion pages or some some crazy amount
of paper this is going to be to use or it's just to go back to
Joe for a second. And I think was that possibly the same
interview? Joe is a nice source of gaff material. Not unlike
Trump, really. It's old white guys, but take us as an example,
can sometimes be very funny. The question was about NATO and see
if you can find the gaff, the chancellor,
Unknown: the former chancellor of Germany stands up she says,
We have to go it alone. We can't count on the United States. Why
did we set up NATO Chris? So no one nation could abuse the power
in the region in Europe. That would suck us in in a way they
did a World War One and World War Two is being crushed. Look
at what's happening with Putin. While he while Putin is trying
to undo our elections. He is undoing elections in in Europe.
Look what's happened in Hungary. Look what's happened in poll.
Look what's happening. Look what's happening. You think they
would have I'm on my watch a Baroque watch. You can't answer
that. But I promise you it wouldn't. It didn't. Okay,
John C. Dvorak: well, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure there was
something in there religious blabbing away. It's pretty hard
to follow if he said at the end, he didn't say he did call
Merkel, the former chancellor. I don't know if that was the gas.
No, no, I
Adam Curry: think I'll pinpointed here for
Unknown: you in in Europe. Look what's happened in Hungary. Look
what's happened. Let's go back happening with Putin. While he
while Putin is trying to undo our elections. He is undoing
elections in India firstly
Adam Curry: saying well, Putin was trying to undo our election
now he's actually doing this in Europe. But then listen when he
says
Unknown: Europe, look what's happened in Hungary. Look what's
happening in full what was happening? Look what's
happening. You think that would happen on my watch or Barak
flaunt?
Adam Curry: It actually did happen on your watch Joe Biden,
the Russians meddled in in the elections on your watch. He was
he was vice president at the time.
John C. Dvorak: Yes. Very good catch and I did slip past me to
get would have caught that.
Adam Curry: I'll play it one timing in context and then we'll
be done with being what it
John C. Dvorak: was there. Watch it was bought by this and
Biden's watch when it happens. Oh, Biden's
Unknown: is being crushed. Look at what's happening with Putin.
While he while Putin is trying to undo our elections. He is
undoing elections in in Europe. Look what's happened in Hungary.
Look what's happened in full what was happening. Look what's
happening. You think that would happen on my watch or Brock
watch? You can't answer that. But I promise you it wouldn't.
Adam Curry: I think he realized that. That's why i said i You
can't answer that. I think he realized it. Like shouting.
You're right. You can't answer that you
John C. Dvorak: were trying to cover the flub, they I'm trying
to figure
Adam Curry: out did you know I watched the first half USA
versus the Netherlands. Is this game over to the day who won?
Because I've been voting for notice that while I'm asking the
troll room. I was hoping they would give me an answer. It's
just easy
John C. Dvorak: to look up. Ah, yeah, I was taking
Adam Curry: Yes. Okay. It's over game over to two nil for the US.
John C. Dvorak: Actually, there was an expert that predicted the
score of two nil really because it apparently the US is very
good defensively and they were the other team out and they
score early. And then they can keep they can shut a team out
very easily. They did not score early overall talent.
Adam Curry: They did not score early. Not in the first half. I
thought both teams were very very strong. And i
John C. Dvorak: i strong is scoring at no points.
Adam Curry: I have but I have incredible adversity now against
rapido the USA captain, just because you know
John C. Dvorak: she's just the one that hates America. Yeah,
that one.
Adam Curry: She she hates Trump, that's for sure. But she thinks
the White House is no good. That's cute. I like it Alex
Morgan a lot from from the USA team. And you know, but I feel
bad for the Dutch. Well, they can they can do it next time.
They this is their first time in the finals. They'll come back. I
think the game itself one. A lot of people were excited about
women's soccer, women's football and I'm happy about that. And
I'm glad my home country one. Good try Holland.
John C. Dvorak: You mean us glad that they lost?
Adam Curry: My home country is America.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, you always can choose the audience.
Adam Curry: Know the audience has some misinformation. I'm
American have always been American. I've never had a Dutch
passport. I've never had dual nationality. I had nothing to do
with it. I didn't ask to move there. I enjoyed it. But go
John C. Dvorak: speak fluent. unaccented. Dutch? That's
correct.
Adam Curry: And animators and animator back started with. You
didn't know that dude. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: Well, congratulations to the Dutch
team for putting up putting up a good fight. Kind of ethic. What
I'm sure they're doing is doing the best they can and of
appearing. They showed up dissipating. Thanks for coming.
Adam Curry: Oh, boy. All right. Well, I have to watch the
highlights. Okay, let's see. Do we have any? Um, oh, yes. I did
want to just mention that the big fight started on July 4. The
Mastodon gab fediverse. Fight.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, yes. This is one of your this is your beat.
Adam Curry: Yeah. So we have the fediverse which is a federation
of social social media servers. We have our own it's called no
agenda social.com Anyone can join. You'll have to get an
invitation from the troll room. So go to no agenda stream.com to
get that. And any server with this open source software can
it's like your own little Twitter. Only it doesn't have
the algos in there to mess with your head at All, you know,
lastin first out pretty or most recent is at the top, reverse
chronological order. And then you can, you can follow and you
can send messages back and forth, you know, tweets,
although they're called Toots in Mastodon world, across servers
and it's been it's been very, very fun because we have our own
little Quadroon sitting around we got a couple 1000 People who
are members, and then people from other servers can follow
us. Now, almost immediately upon us joining the Federation, we
were blocked by some of the largest instances because they
are complete social justice warrior warrior retards, I will
just use the word and completely out of control. And now
conflating the mastodon project with some kind of philosophy and
social justice movement, which as far as I'm concerned,
software has no business being a part of, it's just that it's
just software. And so, gab probably couldn't handle their
scale anymore. And they decided that they were going to change
their entire system. They were going to fork the mastodon code,
which is completely legal to do in, in the open software, open
source, open source software world, yes. And you can do with
it as you want, you can change it, you can add stuff, you can
remove stuff, and you know, if you do add stuff, you do have
to, to publish that and you you have economics open source comes
open source, he has kind of like a virus, you know, so if it
touches the open source, then it has to become open source as
well. Now, gab, which was started as an alternative to
Twitter, mainly for people being kicked off Twitter, and who are
of a conservative mindset in general. Although certainly
having an account that you have an account, there doesn't seem
to be as nutty as you'd expect it to be like, it's just all
swastika as an Heil Hitler. In fact, I haven't really seen any
of that. So they decided to federate. They did that on July
4. Now, the scale of this project for them must have been
quite immense. I know the troubles we've run into with our
little server bandwidth, disk issues, images just near just
filling up disk drives terabytes at a time it's a it's a big,
it's a big project. So they started without a couple of
features with a couple of timelines and have you ever paid
for gab do you have to pay well your for your account was just
free, okay, because because I supported them by getting a pro
account. I don't know what you get with that. But I'll give
these guys 50 bucks and I know they need help. And that's how
they apparently there's a value for value model for all intents
and purposes. Now, July 4, they start to federate. It doesn't
work really well, in the back end is slow. I tried to send a
message to myself on Gabs server. So I did it from no
agenda. social.com took about a day for it to show up. And some
things went faster some things going slower. Now, however, the
mastodon and net and this is the philosophy and the so called
community which we've been blocked from not the software
itself is up in arms. And they are so mad about the Nazis
coming into the Federation, that they have pre blocked everybody
in everything, you will never it will never let you communicate
with those Nazis over there. But they're completely disingenuous,
and I figured out what they're really mad about. I'm going to
read a little bit from the statement on Gatter you're going
with this the statement on Gabs fork of Mastodon Mastodon is
completely a partner. So now they're Mastodon I don't know if
they're speaking as the software if this is a software that all
of a sudden can talk or if it's a bunch of guys who developed
it, but they say Mastodon Mastodon is completely opposed
to Gabs project and philosophy, which seems to me my way, way,
way.
John C. Dvorak: Wait, where are you reading this from me? It
sounds like you were reading it from the gab site.
Adam Curry: No, no, I'm reading it from the join mastodon.org
John C. Dvorak: Oh, you're talking about okay, this is
social justice warriors. Yes. Okay.
Adam Curry: Couldn't you tell from my SJW voice?
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, that would have been better, but that's
what I'm
Adam Curry: doing. I'll amp it up a bit. Mastodon is completely
opposed to Gabs project and philosophy, which seeks to
monetize and platform racist content while hiding behind the
banner of free speech. And right off the bat. I knew what the
problem was. These little fox are pissed off that someone is
actually willing to pay gab money to use their server, and
I've been getting hate Toots all over the place, and it generally
is the same thing. It's they're charging people money for a
broken service. They're they're taking away features and
charging people to put the features back in. And I and all
I can say is so who cares what the if they can get money to pay
if they can get people to pay money for their version of a
server, which they could they could join no agenda social.com
And they could have more features and we wouldn't charge
them anything. But if that's what they want to do, who cares?
No, but they're veiling this and I think this is an overall issue
with the open source movement. The minute someone takes open
source software and monetizes it, they get their panties in a
bunch. Usually people create open soft, soft, soft open
source software to fight against an established established
system such as an operating system Linux. So what's the girl
Kim, who started the enterprise? Sis the enterprise company based
on Linux? Maybe it wasn't just a red hat. Was it Red Hat? Yeah,
Red Hat. That's what I'm saying. Red Hat. So she got so much hate
taking our work. And that's that that's
John C. Dvorak: that was a woman that started Red Hat. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Was Kim Kim polisi. I think, Joe? Yes, yes, yes,
yes, I keep talking. Well, maybe she became the CEO later. So
right off the bat, I'll read you this first sentence again.
Mastodon has come up without the voice. Mastodon is completely
opposed to Gabs project and philosophy, which seeks to
monetize and platform racist content. While hiding behind the
banner of free speech. Mastodon remains committed to standing up
against hate speech. For example, our new server covenant
means we only list the servers on join mastodon.org that are
committed to active moderation against racism, sexism, and
transphobia. The Mastodon the mastodon community does not
approve of their attempt to hijack our infrastructure, and
has already taken steps to isolate gab and keep hate speech
off the fediverse.
John C. Dvorak: Do they know what open source is? Well, they
Adam Curry: are so again. Let's go down to the to the final
paragraph. In addition to the isolation gab can expect from
the fediverse it is clear that their design choices offer users
no incentive to choose their platform by pay walling basic
features that are freely freely available on Mastodon gab puts
itself at a disadvantage compared to any Mastodon
instance, Mastodon remains non commercially structured and all
features are available to users freely from the start. They are
so butthurt over the fact that these guys are getting donations
that I think they're literally willing to take people from gab
just to get them on their their full featured no charge servers.
It's it's so transparent, that that is the essence of what
these people are angry about. That they're making money doing.
This
John C. Dvorak: is a stretch.
Adam Curry: It's all I'm reading it.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I think it's rationalization and
disappoint for them to bitch about that because they're gonna
bitch about everything. But even if they Okay, let the law show
the rhetorical question. If there was zero money being made
by gap, do you think these people would put up with it? No.
Adam Curry: So I take your point, I think you're correct.
It's rationalization of their unhinge behavior. Yeah, there
you go. Thank you. I'll take that thank you. That's real time
analysis.
John C. Dvorak: All right, Bob young and Mark Ewing started
redhead Kim places never had anything to do where was Kim
policing? Jesus Son and then she became a she's a West Coast
girl. This was an East Coast operation I
Adam Curry: thought came place he ran a big open source
software company. Yes, Spike source, okay. Anyway, so for
some reason, people who wanted a free and a system that was not
beholden to Silicon Valley, have decided that they're going to be
the heroes of the internet and they're going to block and
moderate against racism, sexism and transphobia. And I'm
thinking to myself self, these people are the dumbest idiots in
the world.
John C. Dvorak: People want the danger smart idiots that are out
there.
Adam Curry: People want danger. They love it. They want to have
the danger of getting something not I mean, you look at our at
our federated timeline. It's a mess. but it's the world it's
you see what comes through from from China and Japan and the
manga culture, it's a mess, but you can block it, you can mute
it, you can get rid of it, you don't have to look at it at all.
But people love that danger and they will gravitate towards
this, they're going to run away from you a little closed off
systems, it's so counterproductive to what
otherwise is a great idea. And just finalize my rant here. The
Federal the idea of Federation does not mean that everyone
should have the right to be copied and propagated across all
of these instances or servers. So everybody sees your message
at quite the opposite. The beauty is you can block it off.
So if you're not interested in in what what happens on no
agenda social.com Where people who post they're either muted
block it block the whole server, that's fine live in your own
little world there's no whoever said it had to be all open
that's the whole point is like now you can connect who you want
to and if someone doesn't like the policy or the what do they
call this the covenant of their instance like the same pocket
they don't have a government if you don't like the covenant for
five bucks a month you can start your own and be a part of the
federal verse however you want to be a part of it. That's just
it's it is a an unbeliever people need to study this as a
man this is something that yeah, what's the word I'm looking for?
who studies human history human behavior?
John C. Dvorak: Historian
Adam Curry: now psychology okay, you're not helping
John C. Dvorak: Adam curry king of the Federation vote Adam
curry.
Adam Curry: I don't need to be king of anything. But I need to
be but this is what's going on here is much bigger will be much
bigger than Twitter and Facebook and all this other bull crap
combined. This is where it's going and the Federation the
genies out of the bottle. And I think it's much healthier so now
you can have all the social justice warriors in their little
corner blocking off everything else and then no one has to deal
with them they can route around in their own little river. Just
fine
John C. Dvorak: it's like it would actually be preferable.
Adam Curry: Exactly it's exactly the way it should be.
John C. Dvorak: So although people over here I'm sorry SJW
is over there. Yes.
Adam Curry: normies No, no, in fact, I got I got called armies
I call army I got called a fucking Normie yesterday you got
called the normal fucking normal not just the normal fucking
Normie Why was
John C. Dvorak: somebody used the majority of fucking to
describe a Normie and what was on his mind who is is a
different than just a regular Normie
Adam Curry: I guess if you want anyone on to say you know don't
you want black penis OG stuff like that. That's that's that's
Mastodon that's, you know, please block our server. I don't
want to be any part of that. If that's all you got to say go
away who gives a crap?
John C. Dvorak: Just I'm glad you're adamant about to so you
may be onto something.
Adam Curry: You should check. I know you have an account.
John C. Dvorak: You might go on it all the time.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea
in? I don't know. I haven't I'm out of ideas. John C. diff.
Alright ladies and gentlemen.
John C. Dvorak: You have a list. Morning to you Mr. Adam curry in
the morning all ships that she boots on the ground feet in the
air subs in the water and all the cows and danger nights out
there.
Adam Curry: Did you say cows? Did I I think you said cows and
Dames out their cows and names and nights. Yes, very good.
Cows, Knights and Dames and names and nights. Yes, in the
morning to the trolls and the troll room. Let me see what we
got here. It's been a it's been a slow week. Oh, we saw over
1000 That's nice. It's good to see people there that has no
agenda. stream.com 24/7 we have shows running live shows you can
comment and comment on them. You can go and get your no agenda
social.com Invite by going to no agendas. stream.com And we had
Darren Oh during the pre stream this morning and it's always
something fun. At no agenda stream.com
That's right. We want to thank Mike Riley for the artwork for
episode 1152. The title of that was V again, very confusing
title for most people probably the way we spelled it.
John C. Dvorak: But if you read it out loud you knew any you
spoke German or understood any German you know exactly what it
meant. Or if you listened to the show, you'd probably know what
it meant. The show is very clear. It's very gay and
Adam Curry: Mike Riley gave us the artwork. Now there were
several choices once again, we clearly didn't think any of the
Nike stuff was all that great. It was pretty like really low
hanging fruit. stuff
John C. Dvorak: but the wasn't GDM is too obvious
Adam Curry: the mike Riley piece was nice it was it was clearly a
a an original piece. It was a fourth of July Fife and Drum
trio with one of them I guess that's you with the with the
buck teeth saying I got ants was there anything else in me? Was
there anything else we needed to discuss?
John C. Dvorak: It was just an it was a piece of wood got to do
I was looking for What if something had to have the flag
and some mentioned the fourth, besides just fireworks with the
flag was like a prerequisite to me. And so I'm looking around
and that was one of the and that was a cartoony thing which was
do as light hearted and Riley can do that sort of thing
constantly. Me is just kind of that guy. Yeah. And just so it
was just a no brainer actually to pick that piece.
Adam Curry: Well, and we may have issues. Today, we didn't
even have a pre show art. People on vacation.
John C. Dvorak: People nobody's listening.
Adam Curry: We're just talking into avoid, avoid. Avoid
talking. This used to be a lot of people on the stream. Those
people probably didn't, by the way. What a dud. The newsletter
a total dud.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, yeah, was a total dud. And we
Adam Curry: had and I'm never going to provide my personal
pictures ever again.
John C. Dvorak: And there's some good shots in there too. And I
went through the trouble of producing a big giant photo with
Photoshop to minimize the number of photo can Yeah, so wouldn't
get stuck in spam. Yeah, there's only one photo instead of five
or four or whatever it was. And but and it kind of worked seems
but nobody was there to pick it up because they're all floating
around, you know living it up in this good economy. So what are
you going to do?
Adam Curry: I guess so I guess so. Well, if you're going to be
awake, I
John C. Dvorak: thought it was funny.
Adam Curry: I thought Yeah. I didn't realize I sent you the
picture of me dance with my sisters which is very funny. And
and then you commented on it. Like I'm not sure what Adam
sister Tiffany is doing but it's not good. Now Willow, of course
listens to the show and subscribes to the newsletter and
she immediately send it to Tiffany Of course. Okie dokie
but there was no one no one even bothered photoshopping my air
guitar. I mean that thing just screams Photoshop now nothing no
traction zero so sorry. And that was also reflected in the way
the newsletter works is it's a reminder that you have your show
is being produced once again another one will drop tomorrow
and people typically take that as their as their
John C. Dvorak: killed pick it up and run it.
Adam Curry: Pick it up pick up but what do you mean?
John C. Dvorak: Whatever was dropped
Adam Curry: What did you have for breakfast? Sorghum flakes?
John C. Dvorak: No, actually I had a Danish
Adam Curry: we'd like to thank a few people for today's show who

John C. Dvorak: You will you should. Chris Black $233.33.
Hello gents Chris Black here from Gitmo nation region cara
cara, calm Caribbean. CARICOM.
Adam Curry: CARICOM is the Carissa like North calm. It's
CARICOM the Caribbean command. It is it's an acronym, the
military acronym. Oh,
John C. Dvorak: I appreciate the dedication and hard work
non-thinking Fletcher. CARICOM like that pulled net and forget
Fletcher.
Adam Curry: I have a new calling in line.
John C. Dvorak: So Fletcher says you know he wants to do help
with a radio show. Yes. Oh, yeah. The radio plays.
Unknown: Let me guess.
John C. Dvorak: He sent me a tape. He does about 14 and 15
Absolutely stunning, different voices, offbeat voices.
Adam Curry: And why does this not surprise me?
John C. Dvorak: And they're all good. He's also has a deep
voice, not the boomer that I like but as deeply it's
definitely a narrator's voice but he does the hippie and he
does a dip shit is a great dip shit kind of a you know just in
between dipshit guy can't quite do it neither one of us do it.
And a whole bunch of deep throated guys and and wacky
wacky sounds and he sustains them This to me is the hardest
part yeah keeping in mind who's does a lot of this sort of thing
he sent me a tape of stuff and and every so often when you
listen to do bla bla bla bla bla and then you up here you hear
his voice because he's staining a completely different voice.
Adam Curry: Good is hard. That's hard. He's very hard to do. I
mean, I can do Friday the firewall but that's about it.
John C. Dvorak: And you probably couldn't sustain it through like
you know, a people have bitched at voice you know, many people
are rubs people the wrong way.
Adam Curry: A lot of people want it to want to reprise one a
radio play of a Friday the firewall I've received I've
received notices about this. Yes. logging your camera kids.
John C. Dvorak: Anyway, so Fletcher, I had no idea that he
had a repertoire is absolutely phenomenal. Good. So but he
could do the Aloha and as in the scream,
Adam Curry: go yes, yes, yes, yes. Anyway, have a problem with
something
John C. Dvorak: Are gonna rights continues to say Chris Black you
mean? Yes. Yes, that's who it is. I have a problem with
something being repeated on your show. Jamaican is not a race
that we ever said that? I don't think so. Tenacity. My entire
family background is Jamaican. But I was born in the US. I'm
the only one in my family who voted for Trump. And I can
articulate my reasons for doing so. I recently went on a eight
hour road trip with my uncle who hates the president. It was an
uninjured. It was an interesting trip, but I think that I think
it means James got confused when they run into blacks who support
the racist, quote unquote, but ultimately, their justification
is I hate myself also. Yep, so about Mrs. Harris, her dad,
Donald Harris is Jamaican of European and African descent.
Thus, the complex issue of his ancestors owned slaves. The
Caribbean is full of blacks, quote, unquote, who are
descendants of slaves brought over from Africa. So
technically, blacks from Jamaica can also be descendants of
slaves. Sure. Not descendants of American slavery. No, Jamaica
has black, white, Indian and Chinese Jamaicans which are all
various races, even growing up in South Florida, the African
American blacks never referred to me as being black. Exactly.
Even though I look just like them. What a mess, classic
divide and conquer.
Adam Curry: Before you do the PS, I have a segment coming
right up after this break, which will delve even deeper into that
because he doesn't really say anything. He has a beef but it
doesn't. He just says hey, we we could we can also be slaves.
Yeah, sure. This but it comes back to Kamala Harris. When you
say in America, I'm black. That used to mean up until two, three
years ago, pretty much you are an American descendant of
slavery. You could be half black and have a white mom, you have a
Chinese mom, anything you want. But if you were a black, you are
descent Am I misstating this, John, I mean, you've been around
a little longer and I have
John C. Dvorak: something I don't really want to get into
personally. And so I can't say your mistake because I would
personally think that you're not mistaken stating it but I think
this is a can of worms.
Adam Curry: Oh, good. Well, I'll have other people do that and
some clips I have coming up
John C. Dvorak: good. Anyway, onward. PSC says, I'm currently
on my way to the US Mexico soccer match. Can I also get a
divorce karma, please. All she won't leave ugly. Damn. Karma.
Adam Curry: Will leave. Sorry about that. I hope that helps.
John C. Dvorak: Anyway, Chris, is ours are one and only
Associate Executive Producer for show 1153?
Adam Curry: Yes, well, thank you to these three producers, you
receive the credits, which are just as valuable on any show day
if you're an executive producer. In this case, your executive
producer of no agenda show you 1153 And of course, we have our
Executive Associate Executive Producer, Chris Black, you can
post these credits anywhere people like to put them on their
social media profiles. LinkedIn appears to work. And if anyone
ever questioned you about the validity of this, we will vouch
for you. All you have to do is drop us a line. And please
remember we'll be on Thursday for another riveting edition of
the show. And you can support us at
Unknown: boruch.org/n A Well
Adam Curry: now that you have all the information on Jamaican
slave Stay tuned for more and propagate
Unknown: our formula is this. We go out for yet people in the
mouth. Boy that works.
Adam Curry: Still better Fletcher does it? For sure.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, he's got the pipes.
Adam Curry: So that was interesting. You said you you
wouldn't want to you don't want to discuss it? Or do you feel
uncomfortable discussing black and slavery?
John C. Dvorak: Uncomfortable discussing anything? I just
think it's something of a can of worms. That is not really what
the show is about. And you know, there's racially
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, the 2020 elections and an important
demographic is not what the show is about.
John C. Dvorak: No, that's what I meant. And I think you know
it. I don't think that trying to unravel the racial mess and it's
monikers and who calls what wad and reparations and all these
other things. And yes, it is part of the show, and so far as
candidates are going to be bringing this stuff up and we
have to talk about it. But I think a lot of it is, you know,
somewhat something I'm not interested in, in talking about
I'm interested in it I'm not interested and you're doing a
fine job by yourself.
Adam Curry: Okay, good. Then let me do a little segment because
Kamala Harris is arguably one of the two front runners at the
moment. And it seems, in many ways, from a racial standpoint,
that we are at a 2007 type situation where Barack Obama is
being called an African American. And he clearly was not
African American. He's blocky Brown, whatever you want to call
him, not African American. And let's just go back to the
conversation that Don Lemon had with April Ryan, just to refresh
your memory. So two old white guys aren't saying it but Don
Lemon is saying it about Kamala Harris a
Unknown: lot to unpack here. Number one, what is black enough
mean? Can someone give me a definition of what Black is
enough is I don't want to go down the road of the stereotype.
When people say we're black. Number one, she is a black
woman. She's a mixed race woman. When you see her you see her
blackness, but she is also South Asian. Her mom is South Asian,
and her dad is Jamaican, April, April, April.
Let me listen more power to her. And I think that's great. That
is that should be enough. It is enough that she's a black woman.
We are not a monolith. Did they did they say oh, no, no, no, I
think like you're not you're not allowing what people are saying.
The people who are saying she black enough. That's bull,
that's BS. But to to to want a distinction to say, is she
African American? Or is she black or she? Whatever that was,
there is nothing wrong with it. There is a difference between
being African American and being black. People let people Latino
people are people of color. But they're not black. They're brown
people. She is taller, but she is a black woman. Okay, that's
why I agree with that. I agree with that. But is she African
American? But is she African American? There's a difference.
There's nothing wrong with that. No one is trying to take
anything
away from her to her lineage.
I think you're falling. I think you're falling into the trap of
all she had to do was say I am black. I'm not African American.
That's it.
I'm not falling. Let me let me let me finish Hold on. I'm not
falling into a trap by that. When when when she goes down her
lineage many Africans landed on in Jamaica and all these other
Caribbean islands. So she could indeed because not America can
mix with others. But she's not American. But she is a black
woman. She was Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz, this is not about Ted Cruz.
We cannot. It was hypocrisy. I'm not changing the subject. Yes.
Cruz. Okay. I
Adam Curry: think we get the idea here. You hear two black
people arguing about what is black, which is the conversation
you and i You're right. We're not qualified to have that. But
I think as a lineage and as race and nationalities is very clear.
What's what the problem is that the there's a, I think a large
contingent of what who is called themselves a DOS, American
descendants of slavery, who are tired of seeing Democratic
candidates saying, I'm black, I'm going to do something for
the black people, meaning people who descended from Jim Crow type
laws and situations, you know, in my lifetime, this, I was
barely born. But it was just about ended one year after I was
born. And you know, here we are, things are much better. But if
you're going to ask people to vote for you, and you're
promising things for their community, you got to be kind of
clear what you're talking about. And that's where the anger stems
from. As blacks, African Americans feel they got ripped
off by Obama and did not do any better, even though he was
supposed to be the first black American president most will
still say African American president, although technically
not true. So when Kamala Harris came on the scene, the ADOS
movement came into action and said, That's fine, but let's not
pretend that she's African American. And that immediately
became marred when was marginalized down to these
people are Russian bots.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, yes. Now here's all you have to know the
one thing that's certain you bring it up a Kamla Harris to
people that don't listen to the show. Somebody says your name is
kind of what why would they support her? What were the black
support her she's a cop? Well, there's that a cop she's a she's
a mean spirited district attorney that didn't do nothing
for any black people that ever went, you know, they were she
was confronted with but she's a cop. And so that's enough. She's
just not to be supported. Well, then that's other stuff. I think
just derived from that.
Adam Curry: Well, it's getting pretty heated Roland Martin on
things this is maybe CNN or MSNBC. He explains People who
have this opinion that Kamla Harris is doing the same thing
Barack Obama did is pandering to a DOS and saying no way I'm
gonna take care of you but really was not sincere. He is He
He is dividing this
Unknown: um Don Jr spokesman told The New York Times quote
that don't sweet was simply asking him if it was true that
Kamala Harris was half Indian because it's not something he'd
ever heard before. And then once he saw folks were misconstruing
the intent. He quickly deleted it. What do you make of this?
Donald Trump Jr is Fredo and he clearly can't read a bio. All he
has to do is go read the bio Senator Kamala Harris, that you
understand her background and so he's probably the dumbest of all
the Trump children. But but here's the real issue here. The
attacks on Senator Kamala Harris's blackness really
started the moment she announced, and where it's really
coming from. This is Black self hate. cloaked in black self
love. There are people out there who are saying that because she
is not a descendant of slaves, she really can't speak to the
black experience. They dismiss the fact that she went to HBCU.
They dismiss her actual background. And that's what the
real issue here there are black people out there who are angry
that they say, who say Obama didn't do enough for African
Americans. And what they're not doing is demanding really policy
questions. They're questioning her blackness, you may have some
fools out there who are black, especially a lot of black men
who are criticizing her because her husband is white. And so I
understand that folks are talking about Donald Trump Jr,
retweeting this, but really, you got us an asinine black folks
out there, who are the ones who are questioning her blackness,
and they are shameful, and they are despicable. And they should
be called out at every turn.
Adam Curry: That's pretty loaded. What the, what the guy
is doing there.
John C. Dvorak: He's a Democrat.
Adam Curry: When this is what this is what it's all about it
the there is it a contingent, they call themselves ados. And
they're saying we're not going to vote for any democratic
candidate anymore, even though they traditionally do in the
85 95% range. Yeah, until we see a true Black Agenda for black
Americans, African Americans. So this is now this honor is still
been bestowed upon Kamala Harris and she showed up over the
weekend. At the essence, power stage for essence, Essence
magazine, I presume they real black American African American
magazine traditionally, she was introduced by none other than
the rev rev Al Sharpton. And she comes out to Tupac
Unknown: let us welcome Senator Kamala Harris.
Adam Curry: Now count the time she says good morning.
Unknown: Morning Good Morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good
morning. Good morning. Good morning. My beautiful sister.
John C. Dvorak: G mining now sounds like she's totally
stoned.
Adam Curry: I gotta tell you though, she has something so
endearing about her the way I can't explain it. She there's
somehow it's a smile. It's a storytelling. But then she runs
goes straight into this story about her background because she
realizes that a lot of controversy. There's we've got
to talk about my background. Now. What we know what we've
researched before any of this really came up on the show.
Like, okay, her mom's from India, her dad's from Jamaica.
She was born here. She grew up in Canada, most of her life
under the age of 12. Yeah. And but she did get bossed around.
And I think she's younger than I am. Isn't she? What is she is
she's 52
John C. Dvorak: She was born in a pub above the age 1964.
Adam Curry: Okay, so she's my age.
John C. Dvorak: So you're born in 64? Yes.
Adam Curry: So I'm not I'm not so sure if what she says here is
really is really truthful. So
Unknown: about my background. I am a daughter of the civil
rights movement. What I grew up in a family and in a community
of adults
Adam Curry: that just if someone says I am a daughter of the
civil rights movement, and you do not have a family here
History of Jim Crow. Okay, I think that people will find that
insulting. But maybe he said
John C. Dvorak: something even weirder, we'll play that again.
Yeah.
Unknown: So, about my background, I am a daughter of
the Civil Rights Movement. I grew up in a family and in a
community of adults, who spent full time marching and shouting
about this thing called justice. So she
Adam Curry: kind of makes it sound like this a sound right?
Why would No, no. So it's, and she's doing this in mind you at
the essence, power stage 25.
Unknown: My sister Maya and I, we were raised by a mother, who
was all five feet tall. But if you ever met her, you would have
thought she was seven feet tall. She taught us. Don't let anyone
tell you who you are. You tell them who you are. Well, she's
Adam Curry: following mom's advice. That's for sure. She's a
daughter of the civil rights movement. Can you really compare
that to to do a daughter of someone who was actually in
America during Jim Crow and the civil rights movement? I think
that's horseshit on her case. So now she goes into something that
I heard the other day at the Whole Foods checkout. Someone
asked me
John C. Dvorak: what's your mom? Her mom is Indian? Yes. And her
mom is the one that ended up with her when she was 12. And I,
how many Indians were that involved in the Civil Rights
Movement?
Adam Curry: Oh, she said that they were screaming and yelling
and protesting. It's a lie, John, this is why people are
angry. This is why people on on CNN have to tell other people of
the same color Shut up. It's like, I'm just reporting. So now
she does something, which is a phrase that I keep hearing over
and over again, people are so deranged about Trump. They can't
even say Trump. They can't even say that. Listen, this is what
it
Unknown: is. And look, we all know there is a lot that is
wrong with the current occupant of the White House. I hear
Adam Curry: this everywhere. At the whole food checkout? Well,
the current occupant at the White House, I mean, the guy
called the president. They can't say Have you not noticed this?
This, uh, your your lip Joes.
John C. Dvorak: Now that you mentioned, I haven't noticed it.
But now that you mentioned it, I think it does crop up a lot.
Adam Curry: And in the term is the current occupant of the
White House.
John C. Dvorak: And demeaning, it's demeaning. It's, it's, it's
demeaning.
Adam Curry: It's like this, like, you know, it's like a
squatter. It's like some dude just walked in. And
John C. Dvorak: it's an insult to the people who voted for
Trump.
Adam Curry: As an aside, didn't Melania look dynamite on July 4.
John C. Dvorak: I told you this already in the show. I have not
seen one frame of anything having to do with that event. So
I don't know. Maybe.
Unknown: We all know there is a lot that is wrong with the
current occupant of the White House. He says he wants to make
America great again. Well, what exactly does again mean, back
before the Civil Rights Act back before the Voting Rights Act
back before Roe v. Wade, was doing that voice for the Fair
Housing Act well and says we're not going back. We're not going
back.
So it's
John C. Dvorak: not our natural voice to start talking like like
that kind of southern displaced black.
Adam Curry: No, but it was also a cat. She's California.
John C. Dvorak: She's a California if she's black. She's
She can't get any further than being a California Black. And
they have a very distinctive way of speaking. And they don't talk
a lot and you know, they don't talk to you. They don't have an
accent that she's portraying to the way Hillary does. I can't
even do it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, it's she's a lot of that Hillary stuff in her
for sure. The student of Hillary, but just so you know,
America was never great because it was all racist, bunch of a
holes racist, misogynist, just horrible, horrible people. Thank
you, Kamala. And now she gets into the census, kind of,
because there's a second census that is being run that you and I
for obvious reasons were not aware of. And I'd
Unknown: ask that we take a look at and I urge everyone to read
the black census project that has been headed by Alicia Garza
and look at that as our guide. So it's the largest survey of
black people in America since Reconstruction. And it demands
action, recognizing the many facets of black life that must
be addressed. And in my opinion, it is a guide to right what is
wrong in America. So you know how some times people will say
and they say it certainly to me often because I was of course,
the first black woman to be elected da of San Francisco was
the first black person to be elected Attorney General of
California, only the second black woman to be elected to the
United States Senate.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. That's the third because Elizabeth
Warren was also Senator
Unknown: in the history of our country. Okay, so
Adam Curry: when you hear this, what do you believe this black
census is? And what do you think? What do you think it's
about?
John C. Dvorak: I have no idea. I never heard of it. I mean, the
way she's just said that it sounds like it's, Oh, it sounds
like it's some way of counting up the blacks and getting their
grievances and fixing the problem. Yes, exactly.
Adam Curry: Unfortunately, she told us who was running it, but
Alicia Garza The name may not ring any bells with you?
John C. Dvorak: Does it just sounds familiar. Black Lives
Matter. Okay. Well,
Adam Curry: you started Black Lives Matter with the she's a
Soros sister.
John C. Dvorak: Yes, sir. Oh, sister. Exactly.
Adam Curry: She got the money from Soros. She started Black
Lives Matters. And I have two quick clips of her about this
black census. Any questions
Unknown: about sexuality have been removed from the census?
She's
Adam Curry: talking? I'm sorry. So she's giving a rationale here
about the black census, because we're missing all these things
in the Donald Trump 2020 census.
John C. Dvorak: Good. So wait a minute. So what you're telling
me is that this white are the census, the census census which
counts everybody, which according to Trump is going to
dig into everything we possibly could No, doesn't have enough
questions, digging into everything.
Adam Curry: And it Yes. And she is running the black census
project black census project. But is it only about the black
people that Kamala Harris was talking about? Or that the
impression she gave you and I like, okay, it's about black
people in America, their grievances getting screwed, and
how she's going to fix all this, which kind of sounds like black,
like a black agenda or not, maybe not reparations, money
wise, but some doing something for her community, even though
it's really her community. And so here's Alicia Garza, her
sister, as she just said, and she's first gonna bitch about
the crystal census giving a rationale for her senses. But
there's some interesting gotchas in here. Any questions
Unknown: about sexuality have been removed from the census.
And there are already ways in which some of the questions on
the 2020 census are actually designed to discourage the
communities who need the census the most from participating?
Wow, we've heard rumors and rumors have been confirmed
actually about questions about immigration status, and concerns
about whether or not this administration will take those
responses and turn them over to Homeland Security. Right. And so
what you can be sure of with our census project, is that one,
we're not collecting any personal information. And so,
and we're doing that because we think it's important to protect
people's privacy. But it's also extremely important that people
understand that what the 2020 Census does, is it asks you
about how many people are in your house, right as to where
you live. For the purposes of apportioning resources. Our
census is asking you about your experiences, it's asking you to
sound off on what you want to see for your future. Right. And
the way that you can hold us accountable to that is by being
engaged with our project.
Adam Curry: Okay, so it sounds kind of good, although I don't
know about the sexuality part. But all right, sounds like you
want to do something for black Americans with a census. And the
I don't know, hopefully, that information that data will be
helpful. Is it really only for American descendants of slavery
or just blacks,
Unknown: we've taken a lot of steps to make sure that people
don't get left behind. And we're ready to take additional steps
in any places that we've missed. So for example, we've talked
about really wanting to make sure that black people who are
immigrants get to participate in the survey.
Okay, here we go process.
And that's why we've translated the survey into eight languages
that are commonly spoken by a number of black communities that
live here in the United States, so that nobody is left behind.
Wow, we hear that, you know, folks who are incarcerated often
get left out of these kinds of projects, which is why we're
partnering with organizations that work with people who are
incarcerated in jails in prisons, to make sure that we
get the census inside the walls, so that we can really hear from
people who are being directly impacted by the criminal system,
what it is that you dream of for your future.
Adam Curry: So as it turns out, the black sense This is for
immigrants, for LGBTQ it is for it is not for just black
Americans in the traditional sense of the word or the way it
is implied by Kamala Harris. I don't expect a lot of white
people to catch this. But I think a lot of black people are
also getting snookered by this. And here's the kicker. This this
black census is. So it's she does this from her organization,
the black futures lab. And here's a little trick for people
who want to find out who's behind something, always click
on the donate button, you always want to click on the donate
button to find out where your money is going. Black futures
lab is fiscally sponsored by the Chinese progressive Association.
And the which is a 501 C three tax exempt organization. I
looked them up on on GuideStar they got about 3 million bucks.
There's no information on what they're really about. So this is
some front and why why this is being supplied. The black census
is being sponsored by the Chinese progressive Association
is a mystery.
John C. Dvorak: Well, that's not a I don't know that that
operation is a Soros front.
Adam Curry: I think it might be.
John C. Dvorak: Well, that Soros now, I'll tell you why. I don't
think so. Soros has so many good fronts. That why would he
confuse matters by putting a Chinese anything in front of
this operation? Doesn't make sense? Well, we can look at
through one of his other operation we can look at that
sounds a little more liberal.
Adam Curry: well founded in 1972. The Chinese progressive
Association educates, organizes and empowers the low income and
working class immigrant Chinese community, ie blacks in San
Francisco to build collects. Yes, John? Yes. That's just what
that's what's going on here. Chinese immigrants are now
black. And don't you forget it? And I'm a little of all the
things that worries me. It's the Chinese coming in. I have
nothing against Chinese I do. Chinese people seem to be ruder
than most but they just different culture. So I get it.
But do we really want the Chinese taken over everything?
John C. Dvorak: Well, I find this to just be peculiar. Yeah.
It's good. Of course this in the interview that you have this
woman asked that about that. Did she find out what to do? Yeah,
no.
Adam Curry: I'll tell you what she said. She said, Wow. Wow.
Wow. She said, Wow, this just wow. Let me see. If I click on
the donate of the Chinese progressive Association, see if
we get any information here? No, no, it's all the same. But it's
just why is why are they sponsoring this? Very, very odd.
Anyway. So I guess we just take it at face value. Kamala Harris
is black. She's all for blacks and Chinese are black. That's
the new black Chinese is the New Black.
John C. Dvorak: I'm sure the Chinese will appreciate that.
Yeah.
Adam Curry: I got nothing against Chinese. Except when I'm
on vacation. They seem to be rude.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, you've made that point. And they are if
you go to China, they're rude. They're too well, they, they can
but they're not rude to you. They're actually less rude to
you than they are to fellow Chinese.
Adam Curry: Well, I've not been to China, so I can't speak on
that. Well, that's just bumped into a lot. But it's just a
different culture. They they come from a real communist
background, and they think every space is for everybody. And I'm
gonna stand in that space where you're standing
John C. Dvorak: must be shared. Exactly. Well, this is
distressing, that you can keep up on it if you want to. I mean,
it seems to me to be like Kamala Harris is not going to be the
nominee. I just tell you that right now.
Adam Curry: Okay, what is your crystal ball say cosmic weenie?
Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: probably Joe Biden.
Adam Curry: Do you really think so? Do believe in Joe Biden. He
John C. Dvorak: finally gets a clue and jumps in like I've been
saying. i It's a total mess. And I still say Kamala will be the
vice president.
Adam Curry: Joe Biden's vice presidential pick.
John C. Dvorak: thing that was mentioned in that NBC clip that
we had earlier word Biden where they're talking about everything
but but the topic but the Biden's Biden says I was kind of
surprised how where this criticism of me came from Camela
because she's like a friend of mine. She knows Bo and and then
he said he wanders off and goes he shakes his head and goes, I
better get by goodbye. He just says something stupid. And it's
he was really I think To outraged by a personal attack at
that level on this national stage by a suppose it friend.
Because it's not the way you operate his opera you don't do
that you would have you had this complaint, why don't you bring
it up? Sometimes, you know personally, I mean, this was
considered a faux PA, and she's gonna suffer for it, I can
assure you and probably suffer for it in the next debate. But
she's not she has zero chance of becoming a nominee. Oh man,
you're first and I'm not I'm not bad at this.
Adam Curry: Well, I have a good track record.
John C. Dvorak: You have a good track record of picking Pope's
Adam Curry: and the President. Well, it wasn't. Oh, don't make
me play
John C. Dvorak: the clip again, just same as picking the
candidates. Okay,
Adam Curry: I think Kamala is so far right now for me, Kamala
Harris is the front runner Joe Biden is a washed up loser at
this point. And he's coming unhinged, and people are seeing
it. I don't see that support for him.
John C. Dvorak: That's why somebody needs to come to the
rescue. Somebody needs to come to the rescue
Adam Curry: someone pointed out a movie. To me that is on
Netflix that actually came out 10 months before the Muller
report. And as I was watching the trailer for this is called
active measures. I don't think we heard about this. I don't
think we talked about it and went straight to Netflix is as
far as I know. I'm gonna go look at it next when you will I play
the trailer. When you listen to this trailer and you've got to
clear your mind. You've got to put yourself into Rob Reiner
shoes. I know they're kind of stinky, but just just lay back
because I'm pretty good at doing this. Lay back and like okay,
let me just for a moment think that Trump is not the president.
He's the current occupant of the White House. And, and all of
these guys were all in cahoots. There was all this collusion the
Muller report proved it. I saw my favorite Hollywood actors
telling me to read the report. I read the report and it confirmed
everything I was afraid of. And then you see this trailer,
Unknown: President Trump, just now President Putin denied
having anything to do with the election interference in 2016.
Every US intelligence agency has concluded that Russia did. My
first question for you, sir, is who do you believe?
Putin has worked to undermine democracies across the globe. He
made his way up through the KGB, he learned how to maneuver
politically.
The Russian mafia is an adjunct of the Russian government. And
they help maintain Mr. Putin's power to the
point where Putin may well be the wealthiest man on the face
of the planet. How does Russia launder money into America?
Everything I
know that's interesting. I can't tell you.
Russians have a particular type of mark finger on for somebody
who has business resources, shady morals and political
connections or aspirations. I've just described Donald Trump.
Approval real realizes that if we're divided as a nation, we
cannot protect ourselves from threats within and without.
And what you have is probably the biggest intelligence breach
in the history of the world.
The crown jewel for any intelligence agency is to
recruit an asset inside your adversaries intelligence agency,
they seem to have premonitions of things that were going to
happen that in fact that happened.
The question is who helped guide the decisions that the Russians
were making?
Prom power was money laundering paradise.
Anybody who was anybody in Russian organized crime, bought
a condo unit, the
Trump Tower,
we have the serious intelligence operation in the home of the man
who becomes president, the United States. I think this is
the tip of the iceberg.
John C. Dvorak: What's at stake is truth and the cause of
liberty at the motion found possible.
Adam Curry: active measures now on Netflix,
John C. Dvorak: I want to play the clip of this is Noam Chomsky
discussing, and he backs us up with a lot of logic because he's
a logician if nothing else, and he is, you know, a darling of
the left, when he says is important to the progressives.
And they don't like hearing this from him
Unknown: as far as Trump collusion with the Russians.
That was never going to amount to anything more than minor
corruption. maybe building a Trump hotel and Red Square or
something like that, but nothing of any significance. Democrats
invested everything in this issue. Well turned out there was
nothing much there, they gave Trump a huge gift. Fact they may
have handed him the next election. That's just, that's a
matter of being. So if you're unwilling to deal with
fundamental issues, that they're looking for something on the
side that will somehow give political success.
Adam Curry: Where did he say this?
John C. Dvorak: He said it out in New York at a big con fab.
Wow. Did they boo him his speeches? Did they boo him? No,
they he prefaced this by discussing the idea of the
Russian interference in our elections. He says the real. And
this is from his perspective, again, he says the real problem
is how can the Russians even come close to competing with
special interests, and the huge amount of campaign funding that
goes on in the billions and billions of dollars, the
Russians don't have those sorts of resources, they can't do much
more than you know nothing, which is what he claims. He says
the real problem is with, you know, these other things would
campaign finance reform would solve, of course, then the logic
of all this says to me, that campaign finance reform would
allow the Russians to actually be competitive. But that, of
course, is another moment of logic that a loser what do you
Adam Curry: what do you mean, the camp campaign finance reform
would allow the Russians to be competitive because they
John C. Dvorak: was right now the Russians in terms of
screwing with our elections, as opposed to hunger anyplace else,
is that our elections are so fraught with months of money
coming from special interests and packs, and everybody in
between? That there's no way they can do anything, because we
already have the things sewn up. And research shows that the more
money you get, the better chance you have of winning and all the
rest of it, the Russians aren't throwing money at it, what
$100,000 to Facebook, that's going to do what nothing. And so
the point is, is that campaign finance reform, which would draw
this money out of the system, would allow the rushes to
actually be competitive and allow the rushes to actually
write up the elections, right, ironically. But of course, we
already know that campaign finance reform will never go
anywhere, because all that money is picked up by the media.
They're the ones that are the beneficiaries. And the media
would never allow it to happen, because it's really part of
their bottom line.
Adam Curry: $10 billion in the 2020 election is projected to be
spent on advertising. And there you have most of that online.
John C. Dvorak: Well, that's the weird part.
Adam Curry: Well, I when I say most I say 60%. So that's the
majority is the majority, the majority of it, yeah, it's a
lot. Now you can believe that everyone's on just licking their
chops waiting, waiting for the waiting for the dollars to come
flowing in.
John C. Dvorak: All right, anything else?
Adam Curry: After you, sir?
John C. Dvorak: Well, I got a couple of things that a little
more than kind of normalized. I do have a, I got a couple ISOs.
I'm gonna go over this go over this. This one I picked up from
a clip I never made. And this is a clip of an Iraq by the
Iranians is from the CBC. I just like this, this, this guy saying
this,
Unknown: nothing different.
Adam Curry: Nothing sounded like Kissinger.
John C. Dvorak: Nothing different than when I also have
one from an Ebola report, which I wanted wouldn't. That's always
good. CBC is covering Ebola. We're not
Unknown: so it's scary to think about what happens if we run out
of it. If we wrote, if we want to vent about what happens if we
run out of
Adam Curry: it run out of what the Don't tell me. They've got
some kind of vaccine that's working all of a sudden
John C. Dvorak: play Ebola one CBC
Adam Curry: well, we can't just do that. We've got to we've got
to do it properly.
Unknown: The second largest Ebola outbreak in history is
spreading in Congo. And it's a double tragedy since it's
happening in an active war zone that makes containment and
treatment a huge challenge. But tonight, CBC News has learned
that help is coming soon. A much needed vaccine co created in
Canada is getting a boost in production. Katie Nicholson
explains.
In this vial a precious commodity, the Ebola vaccine,
partially developed in Canada, and for those in the outbreak
zone, every last drop counts. This region of Congo has buried
more than 1600 people since last year, containing the outbreak
has used up much of the world's 300,000 dose stockpile of the
vaccine
after 10 months in this saw a break $300,000 is not enough
anymore.
Gary Cole banker helped develop this vaccine and has been
watching from afar. It's 97.5% effective against the deadly
virus, but he fears there just isn't enough to quell the
outbreak,
you will need to reach at least a million if not to millions.
Because if you start offering this vaccine to the population,
you need to make sure that you have enough to cover 100% of
people if 100% of the people ask for it.
But right now 100% Of the people aren't getting the shot. That's
because it's being delivered primarily through a method known
as ring vaccination. Ring vaccination works like this,
everyone in direct contact with the infected patient is
immunized family, friends, caregivers, or others who have
been in close proximity to the person, then everyone who has
had direct contact with those people is immunized.
And so with every new case, you have another rain, you have more
people to vaccinate. And so it's clear that we need to have more
vaccine. And those 300,000 doses are being used very quickly.
Trish Newport is with Doctors Without Borders, she's seen the
impact the vaccine has had firsthand.
It's such a great, huge tool, and I can't imagine the outbreak
if we didn't have it.
Adam Curry: Wow, this sounds like a repeat of 2014. I'm
hearing a lot of the same things, ring vaccinations,
John C. Dvorak: but I want you to re listen to what she does
just something funny about what she said the end did vaccine is
a tool and we wouldn't have Ebola without it.
Unknown: And so it's clear that we need to have more vaccine.
And those 300,000 doses are being used very quickly.
Trish Newport is with Doctors Without Borders. She's seen the
impact the vaccine has had firsthand.
It's such a great, huge tool, and I can't imagine the outbreak
if we didn't have it. I can't imagine
John C. Dvorak: the outbreak if we didn't have it. I'm sorry. I
just thought that was very funny sounds as though the vaccine is
creating the outbreak.
Adam Curry: Wow. Okay, that's one interview. Well, you know,
here's a clip from 2014. Unless you want to play your second
clip first.
John C. Dvorak: Well, yeah, let's play the second clip and
get this out of the way. Now this woman who has got the most
annoying voice up talker looks like a dingbat. But don't you
want to get rid of this because this outbreak is because of the
I think is because of maybe Canada has something to do with
this vaccine or we don't, I'm not sure. But this whole thing
is not nothing like 2014 insofar as the panic created in the
United States, you didn't even know that you said yourself
about the vaccine or anything else. Because we're not covering
because for some political or financial or who knows what
reason, it's not important anymore. We don't have people
coming back and being tracked by the police. Oh, my God, put them
in isolation, put them in isolation. Oh, there's a
breakout of Ebola in Dallas. I just find the whole thing to be
very strange. And again, when I'm watching this report, I was
just completely befuddled by it, but you can play the second
half.
Unknown: And I can't imagine the outbreak if we didn't have it.
So it's scary to think about what happens if we run out of
it. And that's
possible. Roughly half has been used in the last year
problematic because every batch of the vaccine takes a year to
make. late this afternoon Merck, the pharmaceutical company that
makes the vaccine confirmed to CBC News. It is nearly tripling
its Ebola vaccine stockpile. 850,000 doses within 18 months,
not the one to 2 million doses Coburn girl would like to see.
But for those on the ground, welcome ammunition just the
same.
Adam Curry: So a couple things. The reason why we're not
covering it is in 2014. To force for some reason we were sending
the military over there. And that has not happened now. And
so for whatever reason it is it's not important to send
military so it's not important to cover. I don't think it was
important to cover back then. But we it was there was nothing
else going on in 2014. We needed a new cycle. It was great to
watch. Remember the the first Ebola victim flown to Dallas and
then he hopped out of the back of the ambulance like okay, I'll
just walk inside. I was expecting hazmat suits, and it
was very benign. But we played a number of different clips. And I
think the one that is interesting in this case is who
owns this vaccine, which comes right back to the reason why it
is being covered in Canada.
Unknown: We've been asking the Public Health Agency of Canada
for months what it got from the two companies that had sold the
commercial licensing rights to the experimental vaccine and the
experimental drug Z map. We wanted to know if candidate
still has any voice in the development and dissemination of
the treatments. We got back emails saying the contract is
confidential, the candidate still owns the patent and the
intellectual property.
Adam Curry: So I think if you own it, you cover it.
Unknown: That's now being questioned by scientists around
the world who are waiting to do clinical trials on the vaccine
is Berlin based journalist wrote the article,
the scientists I talked to are unhappy, they feel it could have
gone faster, who was in control of this process.
Everyone figured this outbreak would be long over before a
vaccine could be developed. But with the number of Ebola cases
doubling every three weeks, and scientists around the world
saying it's out of control, the need for a vaccine is growing.
Meanwhile, up to 1000 doses are in cold storage here at the
National microbiology lab in Winnipeg,
I do wonder whether it isn't possible to somehow cut through
all that red tape and try to help get the vaccine on the road
really, as fast as possible.
They report that African trials of this Canadian vaccine have in
fact been delayed, not because of logistical problems, but over
an intellectual property dispute. There you go. The
company that owns the commercial license for the drug is said to
be dragging its feet with 1000s of lives at risk. Can the
Minister of Health explain what Canada is doing?
The only answer Otto was given so far is that all of this is in
the hands of the World Health Organization.
Adam Curry: So we missed something. Somewhere, there's a
piece missing as to something got solved with the intellectual
property, the ownership structure, then all of a sudden
that needs to be rolled out because now it's been paid for.
John C. Dvorak: Well, a couple of things come to mind with this
story that's not being played at all in the United States, even
though the way they did it before is it was always about
the bowl as a very dangerous thing to get it could double
every month, every week, every day. The all this stuff is just
not even covered at all, which is stunning to me, the way the
media Acts about this. He's obviously been pushed around by
public relations, people that tell him what to do, and they
haven't been told to do this story is because of this
vaccine. Here's one question they don't answer. And I have
not seen an answer. What is the vaccine cost per dose? is gotta
be expensive, because as they mentioned in the other report,
it takes one year to make those. So there's a couple things with
that as another question, why does it take so long to make a
dose? A, B? What does it cost per dose? And last? Who's paying
for these veg for these vaccinations? Because you know
that the people in the affected area?
Adam Curry: Right? Don't have any money. Now it's government
money from somewhere. Yeah, but how much I owe? It's it's, as
far as I'm concerned, Canada, the fools.
John C. Dvorak: If you how do you say that? Maybe they're
getting tons of cash is marked as producing the product gets a
licensing fee.
Adam Curry: But is Morris Canada? Is Merck, the owner? Are
they the intellectual property is that people making the
vaccine but do they? That's not the same question. Do they own
it, too? They licensed
John C. Dvorak: it? Obviously their licensees are that guy
that one guy and somebody else was never mentioned? There's
just seems to be a lot of money involved here. Well, that has to
be
Adam Curry: the odd thing is they tested this all in West
Africa.
John C. Dvorak: Not in the very dark. You said from 2014 to
today? Yeah. Five years later. There's missing information.
Yes, man.
Adam Curry: It took me a second. That's right, man. There's new
information, new shit has come to light. Well, I'm glad you
caught that. I'm gonna delve into because I do like this
Ebola story. And the only thing I can really think is they're
actually bringing Ebola back. injecting it into people. But
what else could it be?
John C. Dvorak: There may be a woman implied in that funny
quote.
Adam Curry: They're hoping for an outbreak. I don't know. Maybe
some of our sorry.
John C. Dvorak: I like again, I wonder what it cost per dose?
And who's paying for it? It's not that hard of a question. If
you're a journalist to be the first thing I'd asked
Adam Curry: or Cazenave you know, agenda producers. You're
up.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my school by donate to no agenda.

major donation. I forgot all about it. Yeah. And now two in a
row. Yeah. And then we get for some unknown reason. Well,
Adam Curry: wait a minute. Maybe Charles and Michael had a mile

that's all we got for today. Not a lot less than 30 total. And
which is really piss poor to say the least. But I want to thank
all these folks for helping us out on show 1153 Everybody else
is apparently on vacation. Yes.
Adam Curry: And thank you everybody who came in under $50.
Typically, you're on one of our subscription subscription
programs. That's a great way for us to keep the show going
throughout these summer months, the doldrums and I'm just going
to presume I forget every year, I guess, that it really goes
down in these months, probably through July and August. But if
you have some kind of sustaining subscription, it really does
help us because today was particularly bad. And it's
demotivating honestly we've, I love that people say that they
think the shows have been fantastic but people just not
showing up. So I don't know Is it the same way every year
because I just
John C. Dvorak: said July 4 usually gets a pretty good group
and then the day out the next The donations segment after July
4, as always, it's always bad, especially if it's on a holiday
weekend. Most people are, right. They're out doing something.
They're not just right, that they're not working like we do
on these holidays.
Adam Curry: Well, we have to.
John C. Dvorak: We have to. We don't have to I do.
Adam Curry: I don't know about you, but I am working for the
money here. Yes, we have to absolutely
John C. Dvorak: run reruns and probably do as well. Yeah,
that's the joke. But we could do as well, on a day like this,
looking at the donations where if we ran, you know, an
interview, or the best of or a or a comedy show or something,
you know, to be honest about it. But it should pick up a little
bit after it's okay. But
Adam Curry: you know, just just as an aside, it's a it's a
holiday for the United States of America, the rest of the world
is not on vacation.
John C. Dvorak: Now it's true, but 80% of our listeners are in
the US.
Adam Curry: Well, that's a problem to 80% Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: pretty much.
Adam Curry: Where's number two? That Canada is Canada and then
it's a toss up between Australia and the Netherlands? Probably
yeah,
John C. Dvorak: pretty much something like the Netherlands
is three. So we get well first
Adam Curry: let me do some do some Karmis because there are a
ton of cars that were requested
Unknown: jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs.
You've got
Adam Curry: cars. I'll do the birthdays right here because
it's pretty short. Anyway. So let's roll those out everybody.
Yes, it is the seventh of July 2019. Two birthdays today Sir
John overall celebrates and Jeffrey Elisha celebrates on the
ninth of July. And even though it's just two of you, we are
very happy for you. Happy birthday from everybody here the
best podcast in the universe meetups report. We had the
Lisbon meetup, which was not didn't Well, it kind of went as
expected. This was Dame Sheila, the lady of Lisboa who organized
this in the morning Adam and John quick update on the meetup.
It was called a very short notice. So to be honest, I
wasn't actually expecting anyone to show up. But I'm leaving
Lisbon tomorrow for the next two months. And I want to try and
harness the energy of your recent visit to access the
network and it worked. I got there at 6pm sharp and within 10
minutes had the phone handed to me twice by the bar man. Both

support of the show today. You can always help us out. We have
another show on Thursday, we can use
Unknown: to vorak.org/n A.
Adam Curry: All right. I do have a couple of things left over
that I'd like to share because I keep pushing them off. The first
one is this report which has been out there for a few weeks
Welcome
Unknown: back. A former NASA intern could soon become a
millionaire when he sells three lost reels of original
videotapes showing man's first steps on the moon. Imagine that
this is a photo of the reels that will go up for sale through
Sotheby's. The auction site says the intern bought these and 1100
other reels at a government surplus auction for about get
this $200 and the 1970s. The man told Reuters quote, I had no
idea there was anything of value on them. I was selling them to
TV stations just to record over to make some money. The man says
his father spotted the tape on these three reels which read
Apollo 11. The name of the mission where Neil Armstrong
Buzz Aldrin first walked on the moon. And back in 2006, NASA
publicly admitted it lost the tapes ahead of the 40th
anniversary of that moonwalk. Now they're set to be sold at
auction at the end of the month on the 50th anniversary, they're
expected to go up for about $2 million.
You know,
Adam Curry: if these are indeed the tapes that NASA lost,
John C. Dvorak: let's assume they are.
Adam Curry: Is it really okay for this guy to be auctioning
them off?
John C. Dvorak: Well, definitely begs a number of question. A
number of questions, including why were they so cavalier to
this? Just toss them into the bin that goes and gets auctioned
off? As you know, reusable tape? That's the number one question
that comes to my mind. And why would you do that? What What
would you what was the this is the problem with this story is
it's just adding fuel to your fire. That this whole thing was
a scam and the care so little about it that they even didn't
even bother to toss them out or they just toss Okay,
Adam Curry: so these are the tapes. And I'm not going to play
the clips. We have multiple clips of people saying how
horrible it is. They lost the original NASA recordings, lose
them according to this story. Oh, they threw them out.
According to the story. They put them in the dump in the
dumpster. Now. I wonder if they're recycling bin if they
will also contain the telemetry data, which apparently also is
has been misplaced, lost or thrown out? And why is it that
every person from NASA who knows about the original recordings of
the moon landing being lost? Why did they all say you couldn't
play it today? Anyway, when these tapes are Ampex two inch
forehead tapes, yeah. You know, it's it's old. It's 6070s
technology. I can call five companies right now, who can
play those tapes?
John C. Dvorak: They have. Right? I should mention this
because this is part of there's a project called the Dead media
project. And we know that Ampeg there are still a number of
these machines left. It's believed because I've looked
into this myself. It's believed that the number of left of two
inch tapes that are still available, the number of tapes
will not outlast the life of these machines, no matter how
hard you try to fix them. Right now. They have these Ampex
machines. They're giant machines that you use this two inch tape
The the head flies across the thing up and down. And they
believe they can't get enough parts and stuff to keep these
machines going as long as long as they need to be going for
there. But it would seem as though these tapes, these two
inch tapes that we're talking about here, would have high
priority. And you're right, there's at least, you know, I
don't know how many of these machines are left, but there's
enough that they could put one put it in play right now and dub
it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I It's the story is very fishy to me.
There's also another story that says the guy went, he went to
NASA, and they played it back for me. And I guess in the odd,
here's the tapes, but I mean, this whole thing smells, and
it's coming on the 50th anniversary, it's coming up on
Space Force, we're supposed to land on the moon and 2020 24,
which is the only reason the only reason I'm going to
continue doing the show is just on 2024 I can say see, because
we're not going to land on the moon, don't get your hopes up.
It's not going to happen. There'll be some other news,
Trump is already saying, oh, we should go to Mars. Okay. It's
only 1000 times further. Yeah, yeah. Anyway,
John C. Dvorak: I would catch on that I didn't know this was
going on. What? That somebody found these old tapes. So they
picked them up at a government auction for 200 bucks.
Adam Curry: And, you know, NASA doesn't say hey, why don't you
give us a copy? I mean, are these is
John C. Dvorak: how come the guys in the black suits don't
show up and just grab the tapes?
Adam Curry: And are the tapes actually still good. I mean that
they show pictures of these tapes out of their boxes, which
is extremely stupid. Certainly Christie's would know better. If
they're really running this auction, you do not take these
tapes out of their seat, the plastic sealed containers with a
big turn lock on them. I've carried these around for years.
And the minute you expose them to the atmosphere, it can get
very, very bad.
John C. Dvorak: I would believe these tapes are still good,
Adam Curry: even though they've been exposed to the to the
elements to oxygen. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: absolutely. This not just cellulose movie film,
that unit is dangerous is going to explode that it's just a it's
a magnetic tape, the problem is going to be since they've been
in stores for so long, there's going to be a lot of crosstalk
which is a real problem with magnetic tape and storing it.
That's why you should run the tape every once in a while. So
you don't have the same magnetic image pushing against the tape
at the same exact spot for a very long time. Because it will
magnetize it. So you're going to have the messy image I see that
the only danger but and I'm sure it's going to be problematic.
But still,
Adam Curry: I still somewhere I still have a couple of the we I
think we call them BNCs. With those no the B and C's were the
smaller ones. Those were the ones that
John C. Dvorak: always use the helical head, right this these
heads on these amp axes were vertical, they just ran straight
across the tape up and down on a spinning drive spinning thing.
It's with four heads on it. I clunky machine
Adam Curry: I used to I used to be able to calibrate them a two
inch machine or a two inch forehead and went like this. You
put up the bars. You know you you roll the tape on the bars.
And then there were basically two knobs but you would kick the
machine just to the right at the bottom. That would somehow
always get it to align almost automatically.
John C. Dvorak: Sounds like Ampex
Adam Curry: it was Dutch broadcasting. So yes, it was
totally Ampex. Okay, then, as many know I'm a big fan of
Professor Ted and his writings, the industrial society and his
future. I think he accurately predicted the social justice
warrior movement, the social networks, his story has been
changed and mutated over the years. We recently had Joe
Rogan. Talk about Professor Ted's, as I'm talking about the
Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, and incorrectly said that Professor
Ted wood went nuts and started blowing people up. Know the true
story is he wrote this manifesto, which you can
download from any place and you can even get a copy on Amazon.
And he want he felt that what was in there was so important,
and that the industrial society through technology would come to
a horrible demise. And I think to a degree, he's probably
right. And he felt it was extremely important that the New
York Times and Washington Post published his manifesto, they
refused. And then he said, If you don't publish it, I it's so
important to me. I'm going to start killing people until you
do. And he started killing people. And they did, and no one
ever even remembers that it was published. But interestingly,
and which of course, I condemn his killing of people. But I
suggest you read this document. And you will be surprised by the
accuracy of what is going on right now. Today was social
networking and technology, right down to the world coming to an
absolute standstill and freak out when Facebook images don't
load Sam Harris of the Sam Harris podcast started his show
off the other day. With this,
Unknown: honestly, I just reread the Unabomber manifesto for the
first time since it was originally published, as you
might recall, under threat of further maiming and murder, and
it is a slightly crazy document. And you can certainly hear
Kaczynski grinding his teeth in the background, more or less
throughout. But the truth is, it is better reasoned and
modulated, then half of what I see on Twitter and this is from
people with blue checkmarks by their names and large
followings. So I don't know what it means to be able to honestly
say that half the people on Twitter seem less hinged than a
man who was sending bombs in the mail. But it does seem that
we're performing an experiment on ourselves, the consequences
of which are as yet undetermined. Anyway, I'm very
happy to have withdrawn to the degree that I have a feels far
more sane.
Adam Curry: And when he says withdrawn, he's talking about
withdrawing from social media. So maybe if you haven't, if
you've only thought I curry your nut job. Maybe you should give
it a listen. I mean, Sam Harris after all, don't take it from
me. Take it from Sam. No, Sam
John C. Dvorak: cmcm. Sam will have a couple of things left.
One oh, by the way, is hot in Canada. Some rank in Alaska
guesses 85 to 8586 degrees up there and everywhere. Things
have melted. Play the hot in Canada think get that out of the
way,
Unknown: stepped outside and basically started sweating
immediately. Yeah,
him and everybody else across eastern Canada. Lots of places
experienced their hottest day so far this year. It felt like
close to 40 degrees with the humidity. And there won't be
much relief tonight either. Heat warnings are still in place in
parts of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
Adam Curry: die of course hottest year on record ever all
going to die pay your carbon tax slave.
John C. Dvorak: Yep. 62 here. So there's this is a story that I
least want to run because it's kind of depressing mad because I
talked to me about his Mad Magazine shutters play the clip,
Unknown: and iconic MAD magazine will leave newsstands this fall,
and in its 67 year long run. The satirical magazine with its
gapped tooth mascot, Alfred E. Newman influenced generations of
readers with its subversive humor. At its peak in the early
1970s. It attracted more than 2 million subscribers, but its
circulation declined in recent years.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was I was just gonna say the Mad Magazine
was a staple staple. For me, as a kid growing up.
John C. Dvorak: We'll there. I mentioned this to me, me and she
says when's the last time you bought a copy? And there's
another example of Well, you never support the thing. So this
is going to happen to the podcast the way it's going. You
didn't support Mad Magazine. You haven't bought a copy for what
10 years and now you're bitching about the fact that this
shuttering, okay, well, maybe you're you're it's your fault.
Now there was also a social justice warrior. I understand
that took over the publication.
Adam Curry: Oh, really?
John C. Dvorak: By the way, I'm one of the few people if not I
don't even know anymore. Anyone else who's done it. That license
the Alfred Newman character for a computer book that I did once?
Oh, really? Yeah, we got the license and it was like well,
you can't get your no you can't do this. Just ask him if you can
get you that maybe they'll license the character and they
did.
Adam Curry: How do you remember what it cost?
John C. Dvorak: No, I don't remember the details there
wasn't much that was I remember that much because disguises
McGraw Hill, they weren't that didn't have that much money. So
it was pretty inexpensive. I just think nobody ever asked. I
know the thing. Well, you have to ask once in a while.
Adam Curry: I remember as probably seven, seven year old
maybe 270. Yeah, that makes sense. That Mad Magazine was
kind of the like, for young it had a bit of a porn taint to it.
Teach a poor choice of words he said it no spy versus spy was
was of course my favorite. But there was that always drew is
chicks man. And they drew them in very suggestive sexual ways.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, yeah. Big giant tops. And yeah, it was
Adam Curry: a real Yeah, it's a real coming of age type thing.
So I thought they only stopped publishing the magazine but they
would continue online or is it really completely gone?
John C. Dvorak: There is was unclear. Magazine was the
magazine. I have. Also in the later years like more recently
they had some tremendous cover art It was done by some gallery
Adam Curry: always good. Oh, it didn't they have the fold over
on the back. Yeah, that was ever so well at a classic it was that
was so much fun. Where you would have this picture and then you'd
have to fold it in half, or create a folder. And that will
be something else. That would be the payoff of the joke, which
you can't really do in digital anymore. That was that was a
true paper
John C. Dvorak: animation of this that the same a true
Adam Curry: it's gone. It's just the foldover just it's it's
something that will never come back. It's all gone. It's all
gone. Hey, you know you were talking about Ebola not being
mentioned here. We always like to hop on television and talk
about gun violence and gun deaths. Not we're not we but to
the mainstream media does media does it? Let's let's check in
with Chicago over the weekend. The holiday weekend
Unknown: is not over yet. And already 57 People have been shot
in Chicago with at least five of them killed. Oh, let's not
John C. Dvorak: report on that people knew well, you don't want
to report on that. Because you know if Chicago would just
tighten up their gun laws. Just wouldn't be a problem.
Unknown: Yeah, they gotta make a title. Let
John C. Dvorak: me look. Oh, I'm sorry. Chicago has some of the
most stringent gun laws. Ah, how does that work?
Adam Curry: Doesn't seem to be well, you know, for the same
reason that Austin is. Austin is letting people camp out on their
streets. It hasn't happened yet. By the way. I've been driving
through town almost every day to see if there's any tents on
Congress Avenue. It has not happened yet.
John C. Dvorak: It's coming. No, I'm
Adam Curry: sure it's coming. And pooping on the street is
common. It's all come out.
John C. Dvorak: Here's your nan the street. So the street Gavin
Newsom
Adam Curry: is your mayor, your governor. What is he now he's
the governor Governor. Here's a little Gaff.
Unknown: The flag of San Francisco is a phoenix rising
that came out of the ashes in the 19 106 earthquake and the
Phoenix Rising symbolic because San Francisco rose from those
acids
yes
John C. Dvorak: wishes that was more clear
Adam Curry: me to say it was worth the 11 seconds
John C. Dvorak: so it looks like the BBC is going to their or the
British I think is ITV they've they kind of took the reigns in
the day ideas of the of the reality TV and they have this
huge hit called Love Island.
Adam Curry: Okay and what is what is what is the US
John C. Dvorak: now and here's a report this kind of interesting
because people are dying people are taking participating in the
show are killing themselves. Oh,
Adam Curry: you know, I've always been a big proponent of
showing death on television. Real Death is is a ratings
winner. Surprised to see
Unknown: young attractive singles in a Mediterranean Villa
looking for love, all while being filmed 24/7
the public have decided that the Islander they want to save as
there's public voting, a cash prize and fresh episodes six
nights a week for five weeks. Love Island has captivated
millions of viewers in the UK. Are you ready America. And now
the hit British reality shows American version will debut this
month. It's a little trash here than
you might see on a regular reality show. And it's proud of
that trashiness And it's meant to be kind of like the the
ultimate guilty pleasure.
But these made for TV social experiments are also facing
increased scrutiny.
As far as reality television is concerned is we're moving
inexorably towards a sort of a version of The Hunger Games for
UK
Government launched an inquiry into reality TV to deal with
concerns following the recent suicides of contestants
including to on ITV love Island. Okay.
John C. Dvorak: So they've apparently I didn't know this,
but they have these shrinks now and then part two, we'll discuss
that.
Unknown: Connie Lancaster James has worked as a resident
psychologist on reality TV sets, including love Island.
I think we're at a time when we really do need to review the
kinds of psychological welfare services that are put in place
on a production
I'm sorry, Joe. Congratulations Lucy.
Love Ireland producers say they will increase psychological
supports for contestants after they leave the show. Something
Lancaster James says is needed.
People seem to think that just because you live in the public
eye or you're on TV or you're in the movies, that somehow you've
got this amazing life and you should be able to weather any
criticism that comes your way because you've chosen a public
life.
Toronto firefighter Kevin went knows the risks of starring in
reality TV all too well.
