John C. Dvorak: I can't believe these pharma companies aren't
doing this pro bono.
Unknown: Adam curry. John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Sunday August 8 2020. This is your award winning
give on nation media assassination episode 1267.
Unknown: This is no agenda.
Adam Curry: The great reset and broadcasting live from
opportunity's own 33 Here in the frontier of Austin, Texas
capital of the drone stars in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
John C. Dvorak: from Northern Silicon Valley where we can find
a reset button. I'm looking on John C Dvorak.
Unknown: Crackpot and Buzzkill, in the morning.
Adam Curry: Let's get right to the news at hand. We cannot
delay we just had a special Zephyr report the economics of
the country in the world depend on a Jhansi Dvorak, what are you
learning?
John C. Dvorak: Well, I saw this effort go by eight cars plus a
one of those bonus cars at the end, a rented very classic, old
Whistle Stop kind of a pull men from the 20s that had the back
you get on back back there and you give the speeches. It's got
the old cars got it had a bunch of flags hanging off the back it
was dynamite look.
Adam Curry: Alright, so for the Squawk Box and for the trading
floor and the trading desk, everybody This means economy
stable, but we have a surprise on the horizon could be related
to Roosevelt. But
John C. Dvorak: yeah, I was paid to see Biden on the back there.
Adam Curry: Now that would that that would be his jam. He is Mr.
A seller. He's Mr. Train. He's Mr. Amtrak? Yeah. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: he'd be perfect. That'd
Adam Curry: be fantastic. But no,
John C. Dvorak: no, no, no.
Adam Curry: Wow, a lot of things to discuss.
I would like to start just with a couple of different diverse
reports we're getting from Melbourne, Australia. Now,
Melbourne, I mean, this,
John C. Dvorak: this is this guy nuts down there.
Adam Curry: They really have people at the police can now
enter homes in Melbourne without a warrant to carry out spot
checks. And all of this just so you know, is being blamed on a
on some independent security company. You see when when the
lockdown order came? wherever you were, you had to stay in
place for six weeks at that address, including towers of
apartment building towers, hotels, and apparently,
John C. Dvorak: six weeks. Yes. None.
Adam Curry: And apparently, we're just what I'm reading in,
in Victoria. There was some obviously shady security company
was supposed to keep people inside the hotel and, and they
had 18 cases amongst themselves and spreading it. And I think
they were having sex with people and was it's a mess. So that's
where the problem comes from. But the responses have been very
interesting from our producers boots on the ground and very
diverse actually. Which kind of shows you how differently people
can it's not it's let's put it this way. It's not just Trump in
the US. So our first producer here was mad just mad that we
even dared to play Katie Hopkins. He's horribly mad. And
he said this is not true what you said I live in Melbourne
it's not only closed for seven deaths many more than that today
currently 7000 cases from effectively none. I trust our
figures. Okay, well, that's mistake number one. To trust any
figures at this point. Locked down is trying to put the genie
back in the bottle. It's all about trying to fix the mess of
the hotel quarantine failure. That was the key to the whole
success for Australian
John C. Dvorak: media is pushing that that narrative till that's
the narrative security failure now,
Adam Curry: Australia asked returning travelers who were the
sole source of infections to self isolate, that proved
quickly not to work. So then they forced all returning
travelers into two week mandatory hotel quarantine or
two weeks at the governor's at the government's expense that
two weeks that was just for the hotel that's before this big
lockdown. I guess that's where it went wrong. So they had
people coming back into the country. There was the posted
quarantine for two weeks and then this security company or
this actually they hired
John C. Dvorak: a member Dr. Let's go back to the death toll
the you said there were seven and he said you're a liar. Yes.
What is the number he
Adam Curry: doesn't have a number for me says many more
than that
John C. Dvorak: you'd be a liar if he hasn't got a better
number.
Adam Curry: I don't trust any numbers from anywhere at this
point. But here's the story that I guess is being blamed on this.
The security company hired Uber drivers to do to be security
guards. And the virus got out. Okay, I'm sure then we have a
note from who was this max the talking been Yep. A little more
context for Melbourne after listen to the show opening of
1266. A month ago Australia had like many others have been to
return to some form of normal normality as daily cases in all
states are either in single numbers non existent, then
suddenly, Melbourne cases began to rise again, it's the cases
story. So none of our producers have given me any feedback on
increase in testing or anything like that. But after the two
week lockdown, that was the original, the original. Be quiet
slave. Face masks and coverings were made mandatory outside of
the homes the next week, the number stabilized around six to
700 a day these are just cases cases, the Premier of Victoria
Dan Andrews justified the accent of the basis that understates
three it would be it would have taken all year to return to
acceptable number of daily cases that they're even more clueless
than we are here. They're still trying to figure out what cases
are and what it means.
Yeah, well, I have one more one
John C. Dvorak: I got it. We got a nasty note from somebody one
of our another producer was a night so you have to take him
Saturday, of course, of course. And he goes on and on about
somebody in his family died. And you know, we're just assholes
for suggest No, and everything is a conspiracy. It's
Adam Curry: actually it's it's always someone's friends,
parents. You know what I mean? Someone always knows someone who
of course you do. It's horrible. People are of course, people who
have seasonal
John C. Dvorak: flu you have by had Jerry Pournelle. And one guy
who used to work with and another one, two, just three
years ago during that really bad flu season that was even even h
one and one it was just a bad flu season. So one Mimi got and
the only made it through the only
Adam Curry: this happens. The only mistake we made is when
your friends died, including John Perry Barlow have the flu,
and then subsequently, I guess pneumonia. We should have marked
the flu on the show, then people would have hunted. We didn't
even discuss it at all. Probably. No, but yeah. A lot of
people die every year from a lot of things. If you just highlight
that the whole time. Then it's gonna look at harp on it. Yeah.
And for sure, there's people dying that you didn't know we're
gonna die. Then there's always someone connected to somebody.
But okay, we insensitive bastards.
John C. Dvorak: Now, there's another thing that we brought up
early. We forgot to bring it up again. You look at the jobs hot
John Hopkins site and as the 12 million infected or some do some
ridiculous number. They are they people still roaming around
infected? They were infected in April. Yeah, they do they ever
get taken off this list? Are you permanently infected?
Adam Curry: That's a very good point. That is there's never
John C. Dvorak: any indication of how many people have been
infected and cured in hours.
Adam Curry: It's your right or married. What's not it's not a
rolling average of number of people infected it's new cases.
And then they just do a cumulative number. Yeah, it is
so true. Bigger and bigger. Dolly gets
John C. Dvorak: bigger. That's just so right, where it always
gets very we don't take them off the list.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's a good point. Actually, Australia
should call for that. By
John C. Dvorak: the way. That's another, you know, people, you
know, to people that are irked at us. This is just another one
of many indicators that there is a there's a scam, not a
conspiracy. There's a scam going on. Yeah. And when you see
billions of dollars just being funneled into these pharma
companies, here's a couple billion make a bunch of vaccine
that doesn't work.
Adam Curry: I was talking to the millennial one of the
millennials last night. And she said I can't believe I can't
believe she said that the vaccine companies are not doing
this pro bono. I said, I said is it starting to dawn on you? It's
actually pre paid. We paid them upfront to do all this. I hate
capitalism. Well.
John C. Dvorak: That's not capitalism.
Adam Curry: Corruption is corruption. You know, it's I
just thought it was kept I hate capitalism. Yeah, well, it's the
messages are confusing and the kids are disillusioned and you
know, the only thing to do was go out and throw stuff
John C. Dvorak: like that. That idea of just using that. I can't
believe these pharma companies aren't doing this pro bono. Are
they members of the world community or not?
Adam Curry: Oh, well, Well, in fact, they are just not the one
you're hoping it is. And then, after the show, a couple of
things happened on Thursday, which we'll get to the Tick Tock
thing later, the executive order came out 45 days, either you
sell off the USPS to a US company and 30% goes to the
Treasury, or you're out. And this is, again, based on that
DACA decision. When the President was all jittery about
the way the Supreme Court interpreted the executive order
power or the power of the executive of the president.
Friday, he threatened again at his golf club, and then
Saturday, he made good on it and signed three executive orders in
exe. I think, I think this is exactly what we saw happening
is, let them argue, put some bull crap that apparently looks
like Trump really wants it like the FBI building, which was
immediately Yeah, he wants that FBI ability. He, he doesn't want
a hotel there to compete with his Trump Hotel. So let's try
this, fuck him on that. And so he let him play along with that.
And obviously, the final sticking point is a trillion
dollars to bail out states. And that by the Democrats is being
turned into, Oh, it doesn't want to help the frontline workers,
the doctors and the nurses. Now, there's a whole whole different
category for that. But he came out with four executive orders.
And I think the strategy worked perfectly and make it look like
or just keep yelling that the Democrats don't want to come to
the table, excite the base by saying we're not going to give a
trillion dollars to Democrats, states and cities, then throw
out the executive orders and say, what you want to sue me
over this. You want to delay this even longer, even though
I'm the hero and I am in the middle here between the evil
Republicans and then even more evil Democrats. I'm saving the
day. Is that what you want to do, Nancy? And I think that the
mainstream media aligned with the Democrats are in irons,
they're in shock. They don't know which way to go. And I
thought that today's show, they did kind of a summary, which
couldn't help but think this is really making Trump look
incredibly good in hostile territory.
John C. Dvorak: going it alone from taking executive action.
We've had it
Unknown: at his private club, the president drawn out the
pins, signing a series of actions that bypass Congress,
after two weeks of talks for COVID Relief sailed,
Democrats are actively blocking the things that we want. And
what we want is good for people.
He called for a new round of enhanced unemployment at a lower
figure than the benefits that expired. Why did you decide on
$400 And previously, families were receiving 600? That will be
a hardship for many What do you say to them? Well,
no, it's not a hardship. This is the money that they need. This
is the money they want. And this gives them a great incentive to
go back to work.
Another big change a payroll tax holiday for workers earning less
than $100,000. A move many Democrats and Republicans had
opposed this will mean bigger paychecks for working families.
The President also provided some eviction protections and
deferred student loans, but sidestepping lawmakers could
lead to legal challenges over the separation of powers, since
only Congress has the constitutional authority to
control taxes and spending.
Maybe they'll bring legal actions. Maybe they won't, but
they won't. When House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
criticized the President for choosing to stay on his luxury
golf course, to announce unworkable weak and narrow
policy announcements.
Adam Curry: So as monitoring as much of the Trump opposition as
possible, just to see how they were going to respond to it, and
they're definitely catching on to the oh, well, it can't even
do it. Is it legal, but when it comes to and therefore, the
executive orders to cut payroll tax until the end of the year,
continue unemployment insurance at $400 until the end of the
year, with 100 of that 400 coming from money that they're
giving to the states that the states can choose to add to that
or not. Yeah. And, well, you know, when you when you extend
UI, unemployment insurance, you're only one letter away from
UBI. This is getting very close to universal basic income for a
large scale.
John C. Dvorak: There's some experimentation going on. I have
a clip play my clip of the executive order for money. Trump
da
Adam Curry: Yeah, got it. Play.
Unknown: President Trump took matters into his own hands today
issuing executive orders at late this afternoon at his golf
resort in New Jersey, the President announced that payroll
taxes and student loans would be deferred through the end of the
year. And eviction moratorium would be extended, and he would
divert unspent money from an earlier relief bill and from
FEMA to extend the federal unemployment insurance payments,
it's $400 per week. And we're doing that without the
Democrats, we should have been able to do it very easily with
them. But they want all of these additional things that have
nothing to do with helping people.
states will have to contribute 25% of the cost and the
extension will be voluntary for those states, enhanced federal
unemployment benefits expired a week ago, the $600 payments have
been a major point of contention between the White House and
Democratic leaders working on a deal. Mr. Trump defended
providing unemployed people less money than they were receiving
in the previous relief legislation.
John C. Dvorak: This gives them a great incentive to go back to
work. So this was much more than was originally agreed to 600 was
a number that was there. And as you know, there were different
there was difficulty with the 600 number because it really was
a disincentive. The money
Unknown: has not been a disincentive, According to
findings by both economist at Yale as well as the Chicago
Federal Reserve Board.
John C. Dvorak: The couple of things that when I mentioned
that you were touched on, first of all, yes, Congress supposed
to be in control of the taxing and the money and of this
dispensation. But the word diverting was the key. Yes, of
course. Trump isn't really it's not creating new money, it's
already there. No. And and and defend the federal tax, the take
out of your employment, tax, payroll tax, payroll tax is not
changing anything really. You still have to pay tax.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's not the payroll, file your income tax,
just not the payroll tax.
John C. Dvorak: Now, the thing that's left out of all these
reports, and I couldn't find the exact wording for it, but none
of the reporters even cared to look is what was this stuff that
the Democrats kept wanting to add in? So oh, well, the
Democrats don't want to do it, because they want to add all
this left wing crap in there.
Adam Curry: I think well, well, if you looked at the heroes Act,
which I did, which was passed three months ago now, which is
it's huge. It's it's all the green New Deal stuff. It's the
UN agenda, its agenda 2030, all the stuff that's in there, but
the main crux was the trillion dollars for states, which is
just not necessary that not that much damage was caused.
John C. Dvorak: I found a way with Pelosi wishlist that they
keep putting in to their different bills, they tried to
pushing this stuff through. And I just thought it'd be
interesting to read the list. Sure. Is what direct publication
of corporate pay statistics by race, race statistics for all
corporate boards? Well, I
Adam Curry: can't What's wrong with that? We could have that,
by law,
John C. Dvorak: required early voting, and required same day
voter registration. Provisions on official time for union
collective bargaining.
Adam Curry: And by the way, that's an interesting point,
same day voter registration. What process needs to take
place? That is so complicated, you have to register months in
advance?
John C. Dvorak: Maybe checking your did your driver's license
or making sure you actually live in that area? I don't know.
Okay. All right. I mean, they wouldn't they just signed a
petition. They supposedly go over all the names to make sure
they're real people. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, I'm all for the same day. It's like, Oh, I
forgot, but I want to vote. We should have some form of
driver's license should be enough.
John C. Dvorak: Well, they've given driver's licenses away.
There's they found a cache of them with fake ones that are
distributing through different parts of the country. Great
idea. Provisions on official time for union collective
bargaining. I don't know what that has gotten to do with
anything full offset of airline emissions by 2025. publication
and reporting of greenhouse gas statistics for individual
flights. Retirement plans for community newspaper employees.
Adam Curry: Wow. Get the press on your side.
John C. Dvorak: That's federal $15. Minimum Wage permanent this
was I think the done yeah, permanent paid leave. Study on
climate change mitigation efforts.
Adam Curry: This is this. I told you this is un 20. Agenda 2030
stuff. This is the build back better agenda. Yeah, build back
better, although Pelosi was actually very happy with the
unemployment insurance extension and with the payroll tax cut,
listen to this on
Unknown: the payroll tax cut.
This is necessary because our economy and our people need this
boost and for individual families, 160 million American
families, this will be a boost from the macro economic
standpoint, the demand that is injected into the economy when
people spend this money will be a job creator. And again, a
temporary measure to help give us a boost is same as the
unemployment insurance extension. Economists tell us
that that's an immediate jump start to the economy because of
the macro economic of people getting money spending and
immediately injecting demand creating jobs.
Adam Curry: I think that was really nice that she spoke Oh,
I'm sorry. That was from 2012. Malia
John C. Dvorak: Obama was Obama water situation.
Adam Curry: It's the same that's the same crap and guess who was
against it, then the Republicans, so please, people,
please, get a grip on all this stuff. Worst thing ever, it's
gonna know just like, just like Malin voting. Debbie Wasserman
Schultz was all against it in Florida when it was the
Republicans that had the upper hand. It's so cringy. It's
cringy. What they all do,
John C. Dvorak: essentially, you brought these these issues this
Trump presser at his golf club. I have two clips. One of them is
the more interesting of the two. But I do want to play this, the
Friday on relief and Pelosi this 54 second clip, my
administration continues to work in good faith to reach an
agreement with Democrats in Congress that
will extend unemployment benefits provide protections
against evictions, the terrible thing happens with evictions,
not fair. It wasn't their fault that we were infected with this
disease from China and get relief to American families. Yet
tragically, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer continue to insist
on radical left wing policies that have nothing to do with the
China virus, nothing to do with it at all. So you have a virus
that comes in, and you have people in Congress that don't
want to help our people. If Democrats continue to hold this
critical relief hostage, I will act under my authority as
President to get Americans the relief
Adam Curry: they need. Right?
John C. Dvorak: That was been harping. He's really changed his
tune about the viruses now the China virus or the virus from
China,
Adam Curry: I'm pissed off. I didn't clip it. But during that,
I think when he read the executive order, he said the
corona Call it whatever you want. China virus he misspoke
and corona came out much to his horror.
John C. Dvorak: Yes. quickly switch the secret message. I
mean, he's got his target, and he's gonna keep pounding it. Now
there was one thing from that press conference I want to play.
This is this is the TVA part. This was news. This is major
headline, well, not headline, but least front page news. Well,
Adam Curry: we've talked about we've talked about this
particular situation. Several months ago, he was complaining
about it.
John C. Dvorak: Yes. And they've taken action. And he talks about
at the press conference, and instead of you know, you'd think
one of the somehow they would pick it up. I didn't hear it
anywhere. It was non Democracy Now. She was too busy with Mary
Trump making stuff up on the spot. Yeah. And
Adam Curry: really, Mary Trump is still on on them on
television. She still shows up.
John C. Dvorak: She just she took the whole show on Friday.
Not before I play this, then I want you to play the teaser.
Amy's teaser, Amy teaser. This is 2016 this is the way
democracy now began.
Unknown: Today we spend the hour with the author of a book
President Trump doesn't want you to read. It's called too much
and never enough. How my family created the world's most
dangerous man. It's written by Trump's niece, Mary Trump, a
clinical psychologist. She describes Donald Trump as a
sociopath who grew up in a dysfunctional family that
fostered his greed and cruelty, which he is now inflicting on
the world.
Adam Curry: Is this background music new for them? That's so
that's so funky.
John C. Dvorak: They always had that music background. During
the 80s Yeah,
Adam Curry: everybody. Boom. During the 80s.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, yeah. Okay, so this this clip, which
is I watching this press conference, and there's this
clip, and I'm thinking to and I've done, I just started
looking around. It says if we write we did discuss Parsh part
of this. It's as if it was just like, this is like real news. It
didn't
Adam Curry: happen. It just it didn't happen. Whatever he said,
it just it didn't take place.
John C. Dvorak: If that's what you think. Yeah.
Let's play this. As you know, earlier this week, I met with
American workers at the Tennessee Valley Authority, who
had been laid off by the leadership at the Tennessee
Valley Authority. As you know, this is a form of utility. It's
been around for a long time since FDR. And that person, not
controlled by government. But it's sort of semi public, in a
sense, gets paid the highest salary in the world of
government, it gets $8 million. Yeah, that's not a bad amount of
money. It's $8 million a year. And we are not accepting that,
even though we're not the ones that appoint him or her. But in
this case, him, we're not accepting somebody getting paid
$8 million a year. This has been going on for many years. And we
will do something about that. And we're already in
negotiations right now, including possible termination.
They and hundreds of their fellow American tech workers,
the workers at the TVA were being terminated from their
positions on top of all of this and a top of the $8 million
dollar salary and the chief of staff who makes much more than a
million dollars a year. But on top of all that they were being
terminated from their positions. He's incredible people in order
to train to lower costs foreign workers important to replace
them. How's that for a law when this was set up originally to
create jobs and economic development, and now they're
getting fired, and they're supposed to train people for a
much lower who get a much lower salary? It's crazy. This was a
grave injustice, I fired the chairman of the board in
response. On Friday, I fired the chairman of the board, along
with one other board member. That's the one thing we have, we
have the right to fire board members. And I made it clear
that if they did not swiftly reverse course, by would
continue with these firings of the board members. And we just
weren't formed that they have agreed to change course totally.
And today, I'm proud to announce that a major victory for the
workers of Tennessee and Kentucky and other areas that
are covered great states great states that the leadership of
the TVA has canceled all of the layoffs and given hundreds of
American workers their jobs back Oh,
Adam Curry: I love how he's just taking him out. Took two out.
Three more to go.
John C. Dvorak: None of this is covered. And because it just
might make him look good.
Adam Curry: We should just explain the Tennessee Valley
Authority briefly before we do
John C. Dvorak: that. I do want to mention something i I was
stunned when he said that they were firing guys to have but
have them train their replacements. Yeah, I honestly
thought that all ended in the late 90s.
Adam Curry: No, that was when Trump came in that was one of
the first things he did at the remember the air conditioning
plant we had story after story of people who were saying was
what's the with the sea? The Harrier Yeah, carrier, like, oh,
they made us train they replaced train our replacements here and
all the rest went to went to Mexico. Now this is not this is
this is happening in high tech too.
John C. Dvorak: But that's where it is. That's the place where I
knew the most about it was in high tech. Right? Right. That's
what the Indian h one B workers they come in, and and then they
you get some guy that's paid, I don't know. $110,000 a year and
you're replacing over the guy paying 60,000 a year. And that
seems like a good idea. If you can get away with it. They
forced the guy to train the new guy.
Adam Curry: That's the cruel farce. That's so cruel. Yeah. So
yeah, this is a weird organization, though. It was
part of the fixing everything after the Great Depression. And
yeah, it was one
John C. Dvorak: of the three letter word operations set up by
Roosevelt. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So can we just get rid of all
John C. Dvorak: that? Or is it? No, it's actually a power
company. It's your power. I
Adam Curry: know. We can't we just force them to sell it to a
new entity.
John C. Dvorak: Then the guy would get to a million for sure.
Adam Curry: Yeah, wasn't so the 8 million is like no whatever.
Now
John C. Dvorak: well, for a public utility. It's crazy. It's
crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. For for a guy who works for the
government making $8 million in his chief of staff, you're
giving him a million a lot. But the thing is, government workers
have been making more money than the private so yeah, I'm yours
by quite a bit. And that never used to be the case. The
government work was was something you'd fall back on. It
wasn't something you'd go, you know, make a career. That's a
Adam Curry: good career move these days. Come on, get in stay
forever. Yeah, the so thank you. That is something you probably
won't hear much about on the M fi them. What you will see is
this American
Unknown: through you have dozens of people you're not following
the guidelines in New Jersey which you should not have
no, they don't have to political
Adam Curry: This is about them not wearing masks inside are not
enough.
John C. Dvorak: You're wrong or that because it's a political
activity. They have exceptions political activity, and it's
also a peaceful protest. So when you have
Unknown: a number three, they look alike, they all have pretty
much all have masks. But you know, you have an exclusion and
the Lord says peaceful protests or political activity, right. In
fact, specifically, yeah, it says exactly political activity
or peaceful protests. And you could call it political
activity, but I call it peaceful protest because they heard you
were covering up and they know the news is fake. They
understand it better than
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, that's what gets all the plate. Nobody
talks about the TV. Exactly. Exactly. You know, the cartoon
the carnival. Exactly. Yeah. Was about them.
Adam Curry: Well, yes. In fact, it's almost as bad as I got this
was really sick. Since it is it is still kind of COVID related
about Fauci and Allison, camera or camera care. Moraira Cameron
Allison from CNN. I think she's the one that asked Fauci if, if
he would want Brad Pitt to play him on Saturday Night Live. And
of course, that happened. And so I guess she's all jacked. And
Judy and Jason all over Fauci, as he's on CNN, listen to this.
Unknown: Dr. Fauci. Great to see you again, Allison here. Hi,
John C. Dvorak: hi. Hi. Oh, hi.
Adam Curry: I'm a journalist's. Hi.
Unknown: Hi. I have been listening with rapt attention.
But I feel like John didn't get to the really burning question
Adam Curry: that oh, what could the burning question be that
mean the man is not busy America has for you.
Unknown: And that is? Did you hear that Brad was nominated for
an Emmy for playing you.
Oh, no. Yes. What is the real world we're living in? Allison?
wins. He's a great actor. I mean, he's one of my favorite
actors. So I really do hope he wins.
Have you spoken to him since he played? You?
John C. Dvorak: Know, I have not I would love to meet him because
I've been such a great admirer of him and his talent, but I
have not spoken to him.
Unknown: I feel like we can make that happen. Dr. Fauci because
she's
Adam Curry: the dream maker, Allison is she makes things
happen.
Unknown: I feel like we you know, you and I have the power
to have you meet Brad, because I sort of feel like anything you
and I suggest he does.
Sad is
Adam Curry: this. Well, we'll see. We'll see. He's
appropriately embarrassed is trying to get out of it. Thanks,
Alison.
Unknown: I'm not done with you talked about you were up on
stage when he wins. Would you like to be there to help except,
John C. Dvorak: what is this interview? No.
Adam Curry: But listen to Fauci is even annoyed by it. Listen to
this
Unknown: help except the Emmy Award.
Adam Curry: What is that?
John C. Dvorak: Okay. The only reason I have hesitancy about
that is that we're in the middle of an outbreak, okay, bring it
back. And I think that if that association with kind of
showbusiness thing might be misinterpreted, that it's I'm
not serious about what I'm doing. So I'd rather focus on my
job, and really wish him well, that he wins.
Unknown: I was afraid there was going to be a point that pushed
you too far. And doesn't stop we had just gotten to that point,
but we really appreciate how playful you have been on the
lighter note with all of that. And it was just great. I mean,
it was just a great moment. Oh, fabulous. is a fan of yours and
all of your information as well. He's a fan of all your
information. She's
John C. Dvorak: lady
Adam Curry: almost as good as this exchange between JUDY
WOODRUFF And Nancy Pelosi. This was Friday, just I think just
before the President did his first threatening announcement,
including the TVA announcement, actually, and, and Judy boils it
all down from PBS NewsHour, she boils it all down to well, the
Republicans don't want a trillion dollars for states. And
here's what happened.
Unknown: The other point Republicans are making is they
are now showing flexibility in money for state and local
governments. This is again a difference. Democrats want more
money, Republicans want a lot less. They are saying they're
willing to show flexibility. And they're also saying a lot of the
money that was passed in the spring, Madam Speaker has not
even been spent yet.
Well going to be an advocate for you and Bailey, if you want to
be an advocate for them. No, I'm
John C. Dvorak: basically what the playing devil's
Adam Curry: advocate here to ask you for your position. That's,
that's what an accusation towards Judy, for Pelosi to say,
if you want to, once you say if you want to say
John C. Dvorak: Carrie to be an advocate
Adam Curry: and advocate for them. That's, I mean, this is
this is a journalist.
John C. Dvorak: She should have pushed back a little a little
harder.
Unknown: Yeah, I have great respect for you. I have great
respect she should have,
John C. Dvorak: you know, I'm not here to be insulted. Kind of
thing, but she couldn't probably pull that off. I mean, she if
you remember, she's the one who got pushed around by Al Gore.
That one clip was you know, you there is no other side to the
argument.
Adam Curry: Judy is surprisingly lightweight when it comes to
confrontation. I'd expect her to be a lot better. I
John C. Dvorak: she's, you know, she's probably 90. I don't know
how old she is. not that old. She's no no. Wild okay. She's no
spring chicken.
Adam Curry: So the next phase of of this in the globalist build
back better Biden, New World Order. Grew group comes to us as
brought to my attention because I have been paying attention to
their website or the World Economic Forum. They had this
hold, we read it on the air, I think about the great reset and
what's coming and what they're going to do. And this is a great
opportunity. You'll recall that just reading from their website
John C. Dvorak: has been tossed around a bit. So no agenda
social.com
Adam Curry: Professor were and and Lady J. They have found a
Zoom video, basically a zoom zoom call for reptiles. And it
is the World Economic Forum, the great reset presentation where
they are going to tell us what is coming next as it relates to
the the Coronavirus.
That use a number of words. But of course the crisis would be
the one. And I have a couple of clips from it. And I think it's
good to listen because this is pretty much I think what Joe
Biden is going for. But in general, this is where most
leaders of the world were will start pushing this crisis
towards and we start with Adrian monk. He'll give us a little
intro to the to the Zoom call and tell us what we can expect
hello
Unknown: from the World Economic Forum in Geneva. My name is
Adrian monk and I'll be moderating today's session.
Welcome to this virtual meeting which has brought together
leaders and stakeholders from across the global community for
our COVID action platform. Today this meeting serves as a
launchpad for the next chapter the great reset. We have
contributions from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,
from UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez from IMF
Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and for many more in
the next hour and a quarter, but to get us underway. Let's hear
from the forum's executive chairman and founder Professor
Klaus Schwab.
Adam Curry: So Klaus, and it's if you're not familiar with
Klaus, you got to look up Klaus Schwab key is now he's uh, he
can't help it. But with the bald head. I mean, he just looks like
an evil guy like Dr. Evil, but they've shot him with this blue
backdrop. He's on a platform in a chair and they shoot it from
from underneath. So he always missing is a white pussycat. As
the most grotesque is like Dr. Evil, and of course, the accent
didn't help. Thank you.
Unknown: It is behind the midst of the most severe crisis. The
world has experienced
John C. Dvorak: a second I did like it. First of all, is this
is this whole thing not a scam? Or is this really a true
meeting? I mean, Adrian monk starts it off with Adrian monk,
of course, is the character in the TV show monk who is some
sort of a this that's the guy's name. I assess it. Yeah, I
realized excessive compulsive character. And then they get his
Dr. Evil guy shot like Dr. Evil from below.
Adam Curry: It's Klaus Schwab. It's the guy from from the World
Economic Forum.
John C. Dvorak: Davos real doubles. Isn't that the whole
thing? Is that a scam?
Adam Curry: No. I appreciate you asking that. Now this is I can
verify it comes from there. Your website the World Economic Forum
is the Davos crowd with Klaus Schwab. It's his party.
John C. Dvorak: Data control. Oh, you just starting to hear
that you need an art director.
Unknown: So world has experienced since World War 275
years ago, countries and people came together in perfect shape
suppossed raw global order, dog loving all those decades of
peace, increase global cooperation and prosperity to
hundreds of millions of people around the world. It was good
facility then. Yeah. So COVID-19 crisis,
Adam Curry: z COVID.
John C. Dvorak: This guy just asked, clip from Hogan's Heroes.
Adam Curry: Oh God, the COVID 19 crisis, it is the guy you got to
look it up. You got to see a picture of this guy on this
pedestal
Unknown: to hundreds of millions of people accountable. So
COVID-19 crisis has shown us that our old systems are not fit
anymore, the ASO 21st century it has laid down some fundamental
lack of social cohesion, truthfulness, inclusion, and
equality.
Adam Curry: Are you catching on it sounds like we need some
equality, fairness.
Unknown: Now you see historical moments of time, not only to
fight Surya virus, but to shapes the system.
Adam Curry: Shapes this system
Unknown: proceeded from the post cold war era, we have a choice
to remain passive, which would lead to the amplification of
many of the trends we see today such as polarization,
nationalism, racism,
Adam Curry: Oh, I see. So all of that is only enhanced by the
code of Coronavirus, the COVID-19 crisis
Unknown: and ultimately increased social unrest and
conflicts. But we have another choice, we can build a new
social contract, particularly integrating the next generation,
we can change our behavior to be in harmony with nature again.
And we can make sure such technologies of the fourth
industrial revolution are best utilized to provide us with
better lives shot, we need a great reset. Again, he said is
what we need. We have to mobilize all constituents of our
global society to work together. We must not miss this unique
window of opportunity
Adam Curry: that we must not miss this unique thing of global
opportunity. So let's go to the Secretary General of the United
Nations. This is another one of our favorites. It's on Tanya,
what data's is at the meeting while they're on on the zoom. So
he's at the same Zoom meeting. But he's in the meeting. Yes,
this is all ones. All in Charles everyone. This is one big zoom
meeting. It's really interesting to watch. And here is his pitch,
Unknown: I send you my warmest greetings, and best wishes on
the launch of the great resets. The COVID 19 pandemic is causing
enormous human suffering and economic hardship. The
microscopic virus has closed down entire countries and
economies. In doing so it has exposed the fragility that
characterizes much of our worlds. But this bit of GDP is
not confined to health systems.
Adam Curry: Interesting that the word fragility is used, since we
just happen to have the white fragility book and everything.
It's interesting that that's being applied to our systems, in
this case,
Unknown: runaway climate change and sustainable levels of
inequality.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, we're climate change.
John C. Dvorak: What did he say runaway climate change? Let's
Adam Curry: listen to Yes. Copic
Unknown: virus is close down entire countries and economies.
In doing so. It has exposed the fragility that characterizes
much of all worlds. But this fragility is not confined to
health systems, runaway climate change and sustainable levels of
Adam Curry: I think he did say runaway climate change.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, I knew Earth's climate change, but I
didn't know it was runaway climate change. It's blue sea.
Unknown: But these are the GBT is not confined to health
systems, runaway climate change, sustainable levels of
inequality, and the lawlessness of cyberspace,
Adam Curry: the lawlessness, John that's us. We're lawless in
cyberspace,
Unknown: all warning signs that we must heed. The great reset is
a welcome recognition that is human tragedy must be a wake up
call, as you rightly say, like,
Adam Curry: Oh no, it gets better gets better
Unknown: and better to get better.
John C. Dvorak: You mean by that? Do you mean it gets worse?
Yes,
Adam Curry: it's better for the entertainment value on the show
is what I I was laying there,
Unknown: as you rightly say, it is imperative that we reimagine,
rebuild, redesign, reinvigorate and rebalance our worlds
Adam Curry: rebalance the world. So maybe it is flat.
Unknown: The scale of the pandemic and its social and
economic impact, demand strong unity and solidarity,
particularly towards developing countries, specific measures
must be targeted at those most affected women. All the people
use low wage workers, the informal sector, and people
caught up in humanitarian crisis, rebalancing investments,
harnessing science and technology, and advancing the
transition to net zero emissions. All elements of the
great resets are fundamental to building the future we need. We
have already called for an economic stimulus package
equivalent to a double digit percentage, this part
Adam Curry: I didn't understand. So the UN is when they say we've
already called for an economic stimulus package and double
digit percentage. What does that mean that everybody in that all
countries are supposed to do that? Or does that mean the
bankers print up some money? Okay,
John C. Dvorak: they want the United States to give them more
money.
Adam Curry: Ah, that's what it is. I figured this great gouge,
the great reset,
John C. Dvorak: preceded by reset the Great guy, great,
gosh,
Unknown: all right. All elements of the great reset, are
fundamental to building the future we need. We have already
called for an economic stimulus package equivalent to a double
digit percentage more than 10% of the global economy. Let's
tweak United Nations to
Adam Curry: get we need 10% of the global economy America give
it to us 10%
Unknown: of the global economy. Last week, United Nations
together with the government of Jamaica and Canada convened the
largest gathering of world leaders since the start of the
pandemic, to a solid foundations for the sustainable recovery,
based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is in
the
John C. Dvorak: notes. So he's all over the 20 I want to stop
for a second because we get some criticism but you hear it all
the time. Oh, people Oh, they're always bringing that up every
day. As if they're not if they're not actually throwing it
in our faces. I mean,
Adam Curry: like the New World Order and the elites and the
money people and the United Nations and all this kumbaya
globalism Yeah, this is it.
John C. Dvorak: As they throw it in, they always bring this 2030
A week break and you know, that's where all the right
wingers are always referring to it as though it's something real
well, because because it is really the guy just said it
right there. So we're gonna take 10% of the global economy do
with it what they want for equality for some sort of
equality they're not going to achieve and then and try to
gouge us for the most for the majority of it. Yes, the
majority of his after all we can throw trillions away well, it
gets better our status is disgusting listening to these
people. You've made me sick.
Adam Curry: Okay, well grab your barf bag. Here's Prince Charles.
Unknown: These are unprecedented times.
John C. Dvorak: Have you seen these interviews with this poor
bastard? This guy is so out of touch with reality. He roams
around the grounds talking about flowers and plants and gardening
guy is it is a borderline moron
Adam Curry: virus is very distinguished, you know and as a
lot of important things to say about whatever there is,
Unknown: these are unprecedented times every time on the planet
has been impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic, world came
to a standstill and it became clear that we did not have the
answer or the mechanisms to address such an unprecedented
global threat. The threats posed by this dreadful pandemic came
upon us suddenly with a warning.
Adam Curry: Be quiet. He's talking about this dreadful
pandemic you do nothing was just mumbling through It
Unknown: was tragic. Climate change has been
Adam Curry: Oh, my, he's gone. Within 10 seconds. He's gone
straight to climate change. And
Unknown: he came upon a suddenly with very little warning. The
threat of climate change has been more gradual. But it's
devastating reality for many people and their livelihoods
around the world and its ever greater potential to disrupt
surpasses even that of COVID-19. So that is the lesson to you.
This crisis has shown the importance of investing in
science, technology innovation, we are on the verge of catalytic
breakthroughs that will alter our view of what is possible and
profitable within the framework of a sustainable future. It is
time therefore to align sustainable solutions with
funding in a way that can transform the market we go. This
would be the most dramatic act of responsible leadership ever
seen by the global private sector. And we're At once
provide a catalytic incentive for the public sector to follow.
Adam Curry: Does this remind you at all about some of those
Democrat points that were in the heroes act that is now being
argued over thing it's exactly the same thing gamma
John C. Dvorak: on this does destroy the whole system, so we
can be better off.
Adam Curry: We continue with his Royal Highness,
Unknown: we have a golden opportunity to seize something
good from this crisis. Oh, it's unprecedented to shockwaves may
will make people more receptive to big visions of change. A
global crises like pandemics and climate change No, no borders,
and highlight just how interdependent we are as one
people sharing one planet.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's interesting. This is the dish
this shocks people, this is a shock to people so that shock
them awake, they're gonna want to shock them into climate
change.
Unknown: We need only look to the United Nations Secretary
General, to the IMF. The EU was Petersburg climate dialogue, the
Canadian government, the cop 26 Universities Network of
businesses around the world to see this. And as we move from
rescue to recover a rescue to recover for we have a unique but
rapidly shrinking window of opportunity to learn lessons and
reset ourselves on a more sustainable path. It is an
opportunity we have never had before may never have a game. So
we've assumed disposal, knowing that each and every one of us
has a vital role to play. So I can only encourage us all to
think big and act now. Think big.
John C. Dvorak: So there's a whole bunch of phrase, big act
now. One lady
Adam Curry: from the IMF came by she talked, you know, went back
and forth. There's only one one last clip I have on I thought
Lastly,
John C. Dvorak: I want to say luckily for all of us listening
and everybody out there, these this is a group of the biggest
blowhards that probably can't accomplish anything so
Adam Curry: right. But they certainly have influence I'm
looking at the European Union they're all in the European
Union's all in on this. They're passing laws left and right to
support this entire idea and the great reset, you watch this term
start floating around. This is against the racy set. Yes. So
one one guy that was to me very out of character, but clearly a
partner in the in the great reset team was a representative
from MasterCard. I thought that was interesting. So I clipped
him
Unknown: the person I'm gonna turn to first Ajay Banga of
MasterCard, Chief Executive Officer of MasterCard. Hey, Jay,
what do we need to see from a business perspective to address
this pressing social and economic need for change that
this pandemic has really laid bare? Is this the
Adam Curry: kind of guy who's supposed to answer this type of
question?
John C. Dvorak: I guess I would think he'd be more interested in
it is, it better returns in some other aspects? Profit Loss.
Adam Curry: Now he's got a couple things in here MasterCard
is doing more than just managing your credit card. You know,
Unknown: I I've been saying for a while that the world's
problems fit on three sides of a triangle.
Adam Curry: Whoa. Is this a Silicon Valley like expression?
John C. Dvorak: It sounds like it is. I've never heard it. But
it probably is really,
Adam Curry: it's the problems fit on three sides of the
triangle.
Unknown: That's the prism you should look through. We just
talked about them. It's one versus many.
John C. Dvorak: Indian guys. Yes,
Unknown: nature. And the unfortunate foundation is long
term versus short term. As a company, we made a commitment
Adrian some years ago, to go after 500 million people to be
brought in for Financial Inclusion by 2020. We did that.
And now we've upped it to a billion and added that we will
bring in 50 million micro SMEs and 25 million women
entrepreneurs, all part market share. Oh, yeah, there's many
sides of the triangle. We tried to use our presence with
consumers to say what is it consumers understand? They don't
understand carbon credits, but they understand the planting of
trees. Why am I saying all this? In the process of doing this?
Why come to two lessons? And that's the answer to your
question. There is not enough money in government of
philanthropy. To make it possible to deal with the three
sides of this triangle. You need private sector capital, private
sector in Genuity, private sector technology and private
sector capabilities to come to the party. We have to make it
part of our business model. Which ones those two examples I
gave you off inclusion and climate. You need enormous trust
between the prime one sector and the public just
John C. Dvorak: stop for a second these some of these
Indian guys I mean, the whole country is kind of very adept at
talking like this sound like they're saying something when
they're really not when they're really absolutely nothing is
going on and on. So it's just like he's got he's getting out
of this like smelling like a rose because he sounds like he's
said something. But this is just a guru style bowl crap. Yes.
That's a lot of Indians can do very well. Oh, Maalik.
Well, yeah, well. Sam example this guy, this guy really is
good.
Adam Curry: He's the top of I think many in our in our many of
our producers will be listening going. Yep. I know that kind of
guy. Yeah, well, you know what, if you're thinking that you're
racist,
Unknown: and those tweet examples, I gave you off
inclusion and climate, you need enormous trust between the
private sector and the public sector. For this to actually
work. That trust is hard
Adam Curry: to come by standby, because I'm gonna tell you what
the trust is all about. What I have seen,
Unknown: during the course of the pandemic, is some light at
the end of the tunnel on the trust, the private sector and
governments are working on the plan, the NGO sector have worked
very well together, whether it's the therapeutic accelerator, we
launched with gates and the Wellcome Trust or the work I see
on SMEs around the world.
Adam Curry: So women, the therapeutic accelerator, we
launched with gates. Hill is that well, an accelerator is the
way I understand it in the in the, in this context, is they
it's like an incubator for technology for biotech firms,
good beta accelerators. Yeah. So you get the accelerator and then
everyone cashes in on gates MasterCard, though it's it's
John C. Dvorak: groovy. And the NGO scam is what you're saying,
Oh,
Adam Curry: wait for it. I've worked
Unknown: very well together. Whether it's the therapeutic
accelerator, we launched with gates and the Wellcome Trust, or
the work I see on SMEs around the world, on benefit
distribution, and the use of data and analytics for purposes
of directing activity.
Adam Curry: Okay. Listen to what he says here, because now now
He's slipping up.
John C. Dvorak: But wait, did he say the Wellcome Trust another
one of these operations, the Wellcome Trust, I think is
bigger than the Gates Foundation?
Adam Curry: I don't know. I think he said, I'm not sure if
it's the Wellcome Trust, he's talking about trust. And I think
I Oh,
John C. Dvorak: no, no, no, no, you go back where he says, The
therapeutic accelerator launched by gates, welcome I
Unknown: have seen during the course of the pandemic, is some
light at the end of the tunnel on the trust, the private sector
and governments are working on trust between the private sector
and the public sector. For this to actually work. That trust is
hard to come by. What I have seen during the course of the
pandemic, is some light at the end of the tunnel on the trust,
the private sector, and governments are working on the
brand, the NGO sector have worked very well together,
whether it's the therapeutic accelerator, we launched with
gates and the Wellcome Trust, work I see on SMEs around the
world on benefit distribution, and the use of data and
analytics, for purposes of directing activity.
Adam Curry: Using user data for purposes of directing activity.
I think we understand what that means tracking your behaviors in
Google for God's sake, tracking your behavior, and then nudging
you in the direction they want you to go with messaging,
John C. Dvorak: right? When you do a search, you get to search,
they want you to see that kind of stuff. I
Unknown: think this issue of bringing the private sector to
the party, and bringing it in a way that the trust between the
private and the public sector come together. Those are
imperative for us if we got to make real progress on moving the
needle and seizing the opportunity that we just heard
about.
Adam Curry: Okay, so let me explain what I know he's doing I
didn't know about the Wellcome Trust. But yeah, that's big
news. So Master is a couple of headlines MasterCard, digital
wellness program to enhance transparency, security and
choice for online shopping. You really need to look at African
news, African news, to understand what they're rolling
out and what is in beta test it on the continent of Africa,
Africa to become a testing ground for the trust stamp,
vaccine record and payment system. A new biometric identity
platform partnered with the gates funded GAVI vaccine
Alliance, that's where the Wellcome Trust is that's where
the Gates Foundation is. That's where the vaccine come Ionis are
the GAVI vaccine Alliance and MasterCard will launch in West
Africa and combine COVID-19 vaccinations, cashless payments
and potential law enforcement applications. A biometric
digital identity platform that evolves just as you evolve, a
set to be introduced in low income remote communities in
West Africa, thanks to a public private partnership between the
Bill Gates back GAVI vaccine Alliance, MasterCard, and the AI
powered identity of facial authentication company trust
stamp. I don't have to explain what this does. This proves that
you've had the vaccine.
And it's a part of your credit card
the thing you use for everything a want to go to the stadium pay
with your credit card. I'm sorry, you don't have a trust
stamp
John C. Dvorak: is a roundabout way of what the Chinese are
doing with their social scoring
Adam Curry: rarely a day goes by the my lovely wife doesn't say
to me, we're becoming China. And I can't disagree anymore. This
is totally what and I think it's great that the President issue
this. Got me The Tick Tock thing Who gives a crap about that, but
we chat. Oh, yeah. I mean, that that has to go. We're not
allowed to have any Twitter and that's not allowed in China,
though. What's, what's
John C. Dvorak: the story? I have the ironic report.
Adam Curry: And let's listen to where is it?
John C. Dvorak: Well, let's see where it is. Got me out of order
here. So I'm kind of having trouble. I'm having nothing but
trouble. Sanctions
Adam Curry: targets. Yeah, France 24.
John C. Dvorak: Let's try this. This is good. Anyway, Hong Kong
say unless you got more I still want to hear more if there's
more from that Zoom conference. So that's
Adam Curry: that's all that I pulled from the Zoom conference.
It gets kind of repetitive but I wanted to and I wanted to
understand that this this link between MasterCard the United
Nations Gavi, the vaccine, guys, and then as usual, which Gates
has been doing for 20 years they're rolling it out in
Africa. Kids we're back look at this shiny new credit card um,
yum.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, via will play this sanctions thing.
Unknown: Well, 11 people are targeted and five of those are
members of Carrie Lam cabinet.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, stop, stop, stop. That's not it. This
is about Detroit. This is a good clip, though. About the
targeting of these guys because it Trump's done that because
Biden says Trump's not doing any things that donate
Adam Curry: women. Tell me tell me what this is.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, the Trump has done you know, this this
stunt we've been pulling over the years where he instead of
sanctioning the country, you sanction the big way.
Adam Curry: Magnets Magnitsky Act. Yeah. That nicknames. Yeah,
like you get on a list and you can't come in idea.
John C. Dvorak: Plus other problems where they're doing the
same to Trump is doing the same thing to a bunch of Hong Kong
errs, and executives including Carrie Lam, and so they're Pooh
poohing it and the French report, we can play this and I
can look for the other clip, which is unfortunately, I
couldn't find right off the bat. I'll be irked if I don't if I
can't find it, because there's a very good clip, we'll play.
Okay, let's play the Hong Kong sanctions targets and then I'll
look harder.
Unknown: Well, 11 people are targeted at five of those are
members of Carrie Lam's cabinet, including the chief executive
herself. Another two are the current police commissioner
Chris Chang and his predecessor, Steven Lowe, who handed the
reins over during the Polytechnic University siege
last November, and the rubber banding for our employees of the
central government. They are all Mainlanders. And they are all
employed either on the mainland or Hong Kong side in liaison
between the local Hong Kong government and Beijing. We also
have, as you said there, the Hong Kong government has
responded fairly strongly to these sanctions, which are in
response not to the National Security Law per se, but to the
oppressive repression of protests over the past year, the
Hong Kong government has called them shameless and despicable,
and others also called them
barbarous.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, so they so they've done this and they
they've made the point that the so what, what difference does it
make? And in part two of this tip, he explains what the
problems really are. If you get one of these things laid on you,
Unknown: the effect will is unlikely to be immediate. So
it's not clear whether any of the 11 people have assets in the
US that might be frozen, in fact, one of those law law
whining who's the head of the Beijing liaison office in Hong
Kong derisively said that he has no assets, and he said that he
offered to send Donald Trump 100 US dollars so that it could be
frozen. Carrie Lam herself has said that previously that it
would have no effect on hers. However, the extent of these
sanctions can be very far reaching. So a little bit
further down the line, it might make difficult life difficult
for these people, particularly if they want to do banking with
any financial institution that has operations in the US. Carrie
Lam herself has already members of Caroline's government have
already said even before now that certain banks based in Hong
Kong don't want anything to do with them, and one has reported
an account was forcibly closed. So there is a possibility that
further down the line, there may be problems for the 11 people in
question. And also institutions itself, there is a possibility
that it will make life difficult indeed, for US companies based
in Hong Kong.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, this this, this is the big squeeze this.
John C. Dvorak: If you don't realize if you are cut out of
the American banking system
Adam Curry: this year, it's a problem that you got to go to
Bitcoin.
John C. Dvorak: We had good luck with going into Bitcoin and
going to Whole Foods.
Adam Curry: Well, the Lightning Network will take care of that.
John C. Dvorak: No cash still works. That's why cash is king.
Okay, so we were talking about
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just need to relate
something. I needed to pump up the tires on my car. So I go to
the gas station. And the first thing you run into most of these
gas stations are coin operated air and vacuum. I don't have any
quarters. So you go in No, no, no, I'm sorry. We got no coins.
Because there's a coin shortage and we don't touch your nasty
cash anyway. And so I finally find one that has a credit card
swipe on it. This is what it's come to. Yeah, that's ludicrous.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. Okay. Where did you go when you went
to the guy that had no coins? Did you say to him, well, then
can you turn on your air pump for me?
Adam Curry: Now I know he has no control over that this. He does.
Now he doesn't. He does. Now he does not he can hit the master
switch. But he can't trip the local mechanism.
John C. Dvorak: He can go over there. He can walk out and
charge
Adam Curry: $1.50 for the air
John C. Dvorak: by to visually drive into any garage sale.
Adam Curry: Orders. six quarters now. Thanks for the tip anyway.
Yeah. So
John C. Dvorak: I know we're talking about WeChat. Yes. And
it's a nightmare. So here's the this is the end. This is what's
funny about it is what you were alluding to listen to play this
clip executive order banning WeChat. subtext
Unknown: here is that the United States is discriminating against
Chinese companies because it is afraid of China's economic might
really these executive orders are raising a lot of questions
because of their sort of vague wording, especially the term
transaction, which has not been specified here. A lot of
questions raised especially about the WeChat app, which is
basically used for everything in daily life here in China by
close to a billion people. So people in the United States with
a lot ties to China that the Chinese diaspora are wondering
if they're going to be able to communicate with their family
back home, people with business interests in China are
wondering, they're going to they're going to be able to to
do financial transactions using the payment app over WeChat.
Companies like Apple that have significant business in China
are wondering if WeChat is no longer available in the App
Store. What does that mean for its business? Or, for instance,
Tencent, the company that owns WeChat has a number of stakes in
US tech companies like gaming companies, what will it mean for
that sector specifically? So over the next 45 days, the
Commerce Secretary of the United States is promised clarification
on what this word transaction means. But Beijing has already
promised retaliation. But it's not clear what this is going to
look like considering the fact that the US tech companies like
Facebook, Google, or Twitter or are already banned in China.
Adam Curry: Exactly.
John C. Dvorak: And it's your irony. Yeah, so everyone's
making a big fuss Hey, this dish should be retaliation for them
being banned, but
Adam Curry: no, but this there are better clips. I didn't get
any myself but what you want is he's hurting Chinese Americans.
They can't connect with their family. Or the WeChat they can't
send money back home. Yeah, well, that's exactly how their
planet is. It's crazy. And none of our our I don't think any of
our apps are allowed. And but really forget WeChat although I
think WeChat is quite an evil platform, at least the way the
CCP uses it. Tencent is interesting because they have
their hands in everything. I think they should have Most of
their Reddit investment the gamers are very worried about
this. They own large stakes in most of the the big gaming
studios and companies say You know what, while we're at it
shut down, shut down the NBA.
John C. Dvorak: That's already with this shutdown. What?
Adam Curry: There's not much left to shut down. Yeah,
everyone. There is no that ratings are horrible.
John C. Dvorak: Who's gonna watch these stupid games now?
It's like exhibition games. And then you got to look at all the
messages on the back of different vote. I found a new
player vote. The other guy was the old vote is now playing in
the NBA. I didn't know this. I like the white guy with ally on
his T shirt. The one white guy your favorite?
Ally Joe ally,
Adam Curry: July. Yeah. Meanwhile, over in Beirut,
things are kicking off and I smell a rat.
Unknown: Today protesters in Lebanon are calling for a
sustained uprising to topple the government days after the
horrific explosion that leveled parts of Beirut and killed more
than 150 people. On Saturday. Anger boiled over with
demonstrators battling police and Riot here who fired tear gas
and rubber bullets. The country's Prime Minister has
offered early elections. But may local leaders say that is not
Adam Curry: enough. So here's what you didn't see because we
don't have video. Protesters unfurling gigantic professional
I mean, gigantic. We're talking a 30 foot drop down from a
balcony banner that says revolution lives here.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, I I have one Lebanon.
Adam Curry: Talk about it. Yeah, give it to me the investigation
refused.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, this is kind of interesting calls for
Unknown: an international investigation into what caused
the explosion in Beirut. One of the French president's key
demands during his visit on Thursday, have already been
rejected by the Lebanese president, who says an
international inquiry would dilute the truth. Further
complicating matters, he's raised the possibility that
Cortes was attacked. The first time a top Lebanese official has
done so. Michelle Allen has nevertheless pledged swift
justice. When it was revealed that a large shipment of
ammonium nitrate had been sitting in a warehouse for
years. Many Lebanese people saw this as proof of the negligence
of the ruling class. Meanwhile, responding to claims that
Hezbollah might have stored explosives at the port, the
group's leader denied they exercised any power they're
laughing Amazon's law, a team of French investigators are already
involved to help the Lebanese investigation. They say what
they've found so far indicates an accident.
Adam Curry: Regardless, the Chinese have been trying to get
into the port to build as part of their Belton road for quite a
while they were very close
John C. Dvorak: signed up to that port signed up for Belton
road last
Adam Curry: year they did sign an agreement but nothing had
really started and last year is also kind of when the problem
started by coincidence I'm sure in in Lebanon people not happy
as all kinds of you know, the Prime Minister's blown up he's
missing previous to this there's an investigation that's been
stopped and meanwhile China is sending I love this term
peacekeepers to help Lebanon so you know whenever the United
States or Russia or the United Nations but certainly when China
is sending you peacekeepers it's usually the beginning of nothing
good. And it's, it's, it's perfect for them. It's perfect.
John C. Dvorak: Maybe they should send in like a lot of
them and clean up the mess.
Adam Curry: I think there's a lot in there already. I mean, we
basically sent three transport planes because screw it, we
don't want any part of it. At least that's what I see. So hey,
we want to help but you can go ahead and have your Chinese
friends do that the people are flipping out.
People are as
John C. Dvorak: I did do a search on Victoria Nuland to see
if she had any
Adam Curry: good I appreciate that. You tried that's very
good. Yeah, that's very good. Yeah, the cap Oh, that the
capital of the revolution. That's what the banner said. And
it has the, you know, the the socialist fist which is the same
as the Black Lives Matter fist. It's all it's all a code color
revolution. red, purple, black. That's what's happening all
around the world. I'm sick pay attention 10% of the world. GDP
has to go into this, everyone's working on it MasterCard, your
friend MasterCard, MasterCard, good like MasterCard, your
friend.
John C. Dvorak: He's Wow.
Adam Curry: I did pick up following up on another
globalist New World Order story. We played the clip of Canada
Navy as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being grilled over money
that was going from the we charity into the pockets of his
family members, and even possibly himself. And he was
about to approve a huge new budget of government money going
to the weed charity, I think it was 900. Was it $900 million,
which I think is Buck 80 in us, but it was a lot of money. And
so that's a scandal. And of course, we don't hear about that
here. Because Canada's fantastic. There's no people
protesting against masks in Canada. Oh, I'm sorry. There
actually are. But I have a I've evidence of the $250,000 that
went to Justin Trudeau, his mom. And I think this is one of the
biggest controversies. And he defended her by saying, hey,
it's her work and her life's work. And she's been doing so
much with the charity. And she has kind of an interesting past.
With celebrities and both in entertainment and the political
on the political stage. It is said in fact that Trudeau looks
very much like his real dad Castro.
John C. Dvorak: But all you put it side by side, that guy.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, he's just like Castro. So she got $250,000
for hold. Wait for it. Two and a half minute speech?
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, yeah.
Adam Curry: Have you seen the speech? No. Do you have a copy?
I have the speech right here. And I'll only play a minute and
a half. Just to whet your appetite. This is a just
intrados mom. Every minute of the day. This is worth 1000 out
No, no, no, no, no. 100,200 50,000 this is at least
a grand and a half of it.
Unknown: Birthday Canada Wow. I think this might even be better
than Canada day the day after. Because, you know, we're looking
as we're looking forward now. And you all the youth of our
country, we're gonna be turning it over to you pretty soon. And
I have such hope. I'm so proud to be a Canadian. I'm so proud
to be part of we as well. Now we I love it the most because it is
neither a political movement nor a religious one. We encompasses
all policies, all political parties, and I'm getting paid
royally for it all faiths, all beliefs, because we feel that
together. We can change the world. No, we can. So here I
have a mental health advocate.
Adam Curry: I really expected her to say I'm a mental health
patient but it didn't it was waiting for her to say that
Unknown: I have a mental health advocate. I can't miss the
opportunity and preaching a little bit like eat kale, not
donuts
Adam Curry: which is also my ISO and of show suggestion
Unknown: like eat kale, not donuts.
Adam Curry: This is a new one. This is a new one. Let's see.
eat kale not doughnuts, get a good
Unknown: night's sleep make your brain the healthiest brain you
could have by treating it so well. Exercise sleep good food
and go forward and if you run into any troubles we all will I
did. Please reach out for help. I finally did I got my life back
John C. Dvorak: did you That was the second part of it.
Adam Curry: No that's that's a minute and a half that's you
don't want to use more oh not I'm I don't have any more. I
didn't
John C. Dvorak: call Oh no, no, no the whole Twitter $50,000
worth no no, no.
Adam Curry: You're only getting the buck 50 Well, isn't that No
wonder there's an outrage. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: I would think
Adam Curry: I mean that Vaughn by the way I want her agent
John C. Dvorak: over agents is Justin.
Adam Curry: Good point. Man
John C. Dvorak: All right, well, I've got a COVID death update
from Amy and Chris. She twists the numbers and does everything
cumulatively. So yeah, the number of people that have ever
been diagnosed positive stays on the list, then we'll wrap it up.
And she makes a huge difference the way she does it. And if you
compare it to wait, Trump handles the same numbers. It's
very funny how you can do take these numbers and make them son
any way you want. Here we go. The US death
Unknown: toll currently stands at 160,000 By far the highest
total in the world. The United States recorded more than 2000
New Coronavirus deaths, the highest daily figures since May.
Adam Curry: And with that, I'd like to thank you for your
courage and say in the morning to you the man who just put the
C in the COVID deaths update John C. Devorah.
John C. Dvorak: Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam curiosa.
In the morning all ships to see boots on the ground feet in the
air subs in the water and all the names of knights out there
Adam Curry: in the morning to our trolls in the troll room.
Let's see how we're doing trolls hands up crud, we're gonna count
them. Wow. 1837 That's more than that's above average.
John C. Dvorak: That's probably know for Sunday. It's about
right now.
Adam Curry: Usually it's 1800. So it's a little above average
is 1837. So yes, hands up trolls. Well, remember, we did
have a eight cars effort plus a bonus car. So who knows, all
bets are off. If you'd also like to be counted, and put on the
list, go to no agenda stream.com where you can troll away to your
heart's content. And you can do that while listening to any of
our many live shows. Actually, we pretty much have a live show
every single day of the week. At this time, I'm reliably
informed, which is good. We also have some shows live at night
and you can meet some interesting people there. And
while you're in the troll room hit up Doug for an invite to no
agenda social.com That is our federated social network where
the signal to noise is off the chart. As in no noise the signal
is fantastic even Jhansi Dvorak prefers it over any other social
network, according to five out of six dentists and then a
thanks to our artists for episode 1266 We titled that 33
cases a lot of people caught on to what that was all about. And
this was an evergreen we could not find a current piece that
just struck us are fit in Taunton nail did this as she's
from the Netherlands this was the Welcome to Florida the Arona
hotspot instead of the Sunshine State it's the road sign
definitely pops but what went on we could not find anything that
just worked what was what happened
John C. Dvorak: is as if there was no real triggering mechanism
within the show structure that got any artists to have an
inspiration there was no so it net everything was second tier
it just hard to say it happens we go that's why we have the
backlog we got a lot of pieces that didn't catch it the first
time around there's a lot of places that came in second we
will bring them up and put them back into into play I mean we
had nothing but would Pettigrew same thing with the what's his
name that Alberdi Newman character ran for president
right
Adam Curry: that thing floater we kept was around for a long
time before we use it. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. Didn't know it was top tier to get from
the get go.
Adam Curry: Yes. What did these terms like top tier and, etc
mean? Well find out by going to no agenda art generator.com
uploading your art. If you want to be in consideration for the
album art. Obviously you don't always have to be an artist
doing it live we do look at other things. We look at stuff
that comes in later. We are always searching if we can't
find something topical right off the bat. So consider
contributing your value to our value for value network by going
to no agenda art generator.com talk tonight. Oh, thank you once
again. And now let's thank our executive producers and
Associate Executive producers for episode 1267.
John C. Dvorak: We had a big boost on this show. For a Sunday
sir Ana Miss came in prematurely.
Adam Curry: Oh, premature.
John C. Dvorak: He normally comes in around the 23rd 24th of
the month Serrana missive not that I keep track of these
things.
Adam Curry: Of Dogpatch and lower I do lower Slavia you just
John C. Dvorak: astronomers are Dogpatch and Laurel, Bolivia.
And he came in with 11 to his code number 11 and 21 122 1122.
So we never know what these mean. But apparently he's been
floating around because he's got another tail. Okay, good. Thank
you too, and all the producers that make this an outstanding
yet sometimes disagreeable safe space, where many faiths,
cultures, genders and races collaborate with mutual respect
for our differences. I continue to maintain a groundhog De
lifestyle in this stuttering pandemic environment harsh 2020
which is the the the fest the trek what is it called? The yeah
to the truck it's when you when you make the pilgrimage yes the
pilgrimage 2020 Hodge 2020 was was surreal he says oh you oh no
outsiders permitted and a random selection of a small group of
participants. Wait a minute he was the first Hodge in many
years that her friend or relative did not participant to
participate even Eid ei D the other that other other
celebration that we can catch up in our in our war here from
Adam Curry: Wait a minute wait a minute hold on a second. Now so
he's an insider at the hush I don't know sounds like it he
knows something
John C. Dvorak: even Eid was an unusual one by the way I want to
I just asked him an open question when he says the Hodge
was surreal no outsiders permitted What does he mean by
outsiders? I thought outsiders would never permit I think you
had to be a card carrying Muslim to even go into that area
Adam Curry: well i i Take it as only the people of
John C. Dvorak: the secret roundtable know the locals the
locals know I'm
Adam Curry: thinking he's part of the roundtable of the harsh
John C. Dvorak: I don't know if well he's gonna have to explain
himself even eat was unusual selecting animals virtually This
is where you have your your goats. Yes, yes, yes, yes, we
would like to in his tribe. He has a bunch of goats. He's got
to go collection apparently. We've talked about his
Adam Curry: award winning goats. Yeah, it's a goat guy.
John C. Dvorak: Selecting animals virtually or people just
making online orders rather than taking the trip to a farm and
selecting their sacrifice. Right, we selected 15 White
goats from our tribe, which is the goat pilot goats. He's got
to contribute to the celebration and feed the poor. That's a lot
of girls that is some goat. Goats are delicious. By the way,
if you ever get a chance to eat one, goat karma kept them
healthy through their end, so thank you. When our guard
repeated, they only used white goats, which is our tradition. A
local friend laughed and explain how the locals are hearing about
BLM protests in America. And the guard was concerned I might be
upset if he killed an Americans Black goat.
Adam Curry: We only went for the white goats nice.
John C. Dvorak: The info demic reporting from the M five in
conflicts reporting with lies, damn lies and statistics. The
more the M five M and global agencies use numbers for
covering COVID and the climate crisis, the more the failing of
STEM programs are evident. No kidding. poor use of mathematics
may even explain stock market valuations as the old accounting
interviewed joke goes, how much is one plus one answer? What do
you want it to be?
Adam Curry: at Arthur Andersen it can be anything you want.
John C. Dvorak: This now applies the reporting of many forms of
numbers based information to culmination is the move toward
MMT as political doctrine modern monetary theory demonstrating
how social sciences have or surpassed the dismal science and
mathematics humans progress by individual self interest across
all economic systems I have lived in and competed in a few
systems and identifying competitors self interest
identifies paths to outperform sadly too few pursue paradise as
being in their long term self interest no jingles no karma
Adam Curry: I always like what Serrana Miss has to say he seems
like seems like a wise guy. Not a wise guy but a wise guy. And
you know this it's this tribe right a bunch of goats is called
the tribe. I think we learned that from Korea. We
John C. Dvorak: brought that up in a previous show. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I met remember the cab driver who I used to use to
take me to the airport when I was at the condo in San
Francisco. Yeah, at the time I called him Tony the terrorist
yeah and then one time like he's like taking me the airport and
and he pops the trunk and I and I want to put my bag in and dead
goat back Oh, sorry, man. That's for later I gotta take that
home. Different culture but you get used to it. Sir autonomous

the first Associate Executive Producer $288.88 from Oregon
City, Oregon. He wants to follow in jails. If you're white,
you're racist. If you're male, you're a pig Joe Biden. Come on
man and round out with karma. Got all the listeners, Adam.
Yeah, you're correct. About neighborhood parents banding
together to homeschool their kids for this upcoming school
year. This is exactly what we're doing with our son with a few
other families in our neighborhoods in a strange way.
COVID has actually brought our local community closer together.
You know what, there you go. There's your reset. Well, you
know, it's interesting reset the education system.
Adam Curry: Well, it's, it's really I, one of our teachers
emailed me Nathan. And he said, Yeah, sure this and he's a
teacher. He's been a teacher. All over the CCS, Nashville,
Seattle, Washington Bowling Green, Kentucky. Yeah, sure.
Some people or it's a very privileged thing is his point to
organize into homeschools he says the real issue is really
low income who rely on public school system for food medical
care, basically babysitting parent, you know, substituting
parenting during the day. It's like, yeah, it looks really nice
for us privileged people on the podcast, but it's it's much much
worse for lower income families. It's and they have no there's no
way to organize that way. This is huge, huge issue, which
you're not seeing discussed is the message from our teacher so
John C. Dvorak: so you're what you're suggesting is that lower
income people were too stupid to do this.
Adam Curry: No, I don't. I think they got what he's suggesting
John C. Dvorak: that they're too dumb to do any of this kind of
thing.
Adam Curry: Know that we're too privileged to think that
everyone can do this. That was his point.
John C. Dvorak: Well, there's word dead a lot of it has to do
with the community, of course. Yeah, obviously, not everybody
wants to home school in any circumstance. But anyway, we'll
go on. Here's a boots on the ground report from Portland. How
about a boots on the ground jingle. I suggest something from
the intro music from the old PC game red alert. And he's got a
link Yeah, defended the federal quote, Storm Troopers unquote,
have a duty to protect a federal courthouse downtown every night,
and teeth. Empty foot thugs tried to burn it down. If the
Feds leave, then the courthouse is toast. If the thugs leave
then the feds can stand down. It's a stalemate. But the media
would have you believe that Trump has ordered the feds to
pepper spray innocent civilians. It's fake news. The only people
around the courthouse after dark are troublemakers. Moving on.
One of my favorite things about the show is the boots on the
ground reports. Big thanks to all the producers who write in
and share their local observations. I'm looking at you
de Fuca zotoh and Ser autonomous please perhaps a boots on the
ground segment is worth considering why we do it. This
is it. We do it when we do it. That's all we can do.
Adam Curry: And the minute you start to structure stuff, it
gets real difficult. We don't need this structure. But we're
unstructured I do appreciate your jingle requests are racist
in the room. Big skinny shifting into your round so don't have a
pen and just watch it man
you've got karma
Unknown: so, sir Pete pate pate
John C. Dvorak: sir paid here first of all thanks for info
sanity services he comes to a tune of $34.56 from Amsterdam.
This is my birthday donation August 11. Requesting a dose of
F cancer and goat coming from my buddy Edward fortyish two kids
waiting for a bone marrow transplant finally Missy who
recently found a liver donor she needed as she lost hers from
severe cancer by the way I know this is stretching our karma
thin but my previous requests yield and amazing turn of
events. Can you also play if you wake up with the blues jingle
don't know what that one is. Let's just focus on what's
really important kind regards for pate.
Adam Curry: I think it's where you wake up with the blues is a
John C. Dvorak: joke by the way let me let me just go back
because I've said buddy Edward and I left out Robert also is
recovering from radiation treatment. Oh no, I left him

this funny colors and trends not transparent. And then you put in
red gummy bears all through it. And then you make a jello mold
and serve it to the family. It looks like a brain on the table.
Wow. The it's part
Adam Curry: of our religion. The folks at Utah are scratching
their heads over that.
John C. Dvorak: Not so much. Emma pilgrim who comes in with

and cheese cheddar and well?
Adam Curry: Well no. She says very specifically. A song
doesn't she? Yeah, yeah. Well, we have a couple. All right,

more I could see the past that the BS was hitting us from all
sides. My smokin hot wife faith and thought the show was odd at

pissed. If I start it without

John C. Dvorak: our formula is this we go out we get people in
the mouth well I want to start the second segment off with a
few Biden clips I can't do a Kaylee segment because she's not
doing any press the powder so that off
Adam Curry: is this is this Joe bumbling around. Yeah, mostly.
Well wait. I pulled something especially because you know we
we are often accused of not doing this. I got a really good
Trumper stumble Bumble. Like a really embarrassing one.
John C. Dvorak: Well, we did two of those in the last show. So I
don't know what people are complaining about. But okay,
yeah, play played as the prey.
Adam Curry: What did we do on the last show with Trump?
John C. Dvorak: What did he have to cause I had him praising
Hillary going on and on about Hillary how great she was saying
that the United States of America beginning is 1492 Oh,
Adam Curry: I'm talking about a childish gaffe where someone
just says something so stupid that you can laugh at them hard.
This is what I'm talking about. This was when he signed the
order I think might have even been an executive order for the
for the national parks. And he was trying to pronounce the name
of one of our national parks
John C. Dvorak: when they gaze upon your Semites. Yes,
Ammonites. Yes, towering sequoias.
Adam Curry: Yo Semite. Holy crap. Has he never seen the word
Yosemite as he never seen Yosemite Sam.
John C. Dvorak: I don't think he's ever been to Yosemite.
Maybe it's been two years so might is so that's good. I think
that qualifies. Yo. Yo. So
Adam Curry: let me listen. I'm actually better
John C. Dvorak: than some of the Biden wins.
When they gaze upon your Semites, yo Semite.
Adam Curry: Hey, yo Semites. She's calling Ivanka yo. Semites
come on over here.
John C. Dvorak: Oh, good. Okay, well, this is now your new your
new beat. Please. Thanks. Well, here's here's that did this work
classic Joe Biden. I'm gonna play this and this is the Biden
ch 1647. This is a classic example of Joe Biden's math
Unknown: look at calls for cutting local funding for police
nationally now and his budget by almost a half
$1,000,000,000.04 140 $7 million.
Adam Curry: That's really not fair. He's just he doesn't know
what he's talking about when it comes to these numbers. And he's
it all his life has been used to millions and millions adding up
to a billion maybe here or there. And now it's just gotten
out of control. He can't make the switch. I'm glad that we
John C. Dvorak: can use this is your beat, you're gonna be
you're gonna defend Joe. Well, then I gotta ask Adam for you.
Oh, this is Biden on just on justice reform. This is part one
and then the hill that I'm going to ask you a question when, when
this place,
Unknown: okay? And look, you know, we have to have this as a
call to action to finally confront and end the racial
injustice that are prevalent in this country, and far, far, far
too long as President. I'm going to fight every day to lead these
changes and make sure that we lay out the steps that Congress
should immediately take for real policing reform. The whole cops
the highest standard with the vast majority of meat I'm going
to invest in shifting our criminal focus from
incarceration to prevention and in cash bail, ensuring that one
is incarcerated for drug use alone shouldn't go into being
incarcerated, they should be going into mandatory
rehabilitation drug courts, and we should and much more they
they should be eligible when they get out for reentry and in
society from everything from Pell grants to housing, I'm
going to fight to end look there's an awful lot there's an
awful lot going on
Adam Curry: All right I've listened to the clip I'm
prepared for my question
John C. Dvorak: What's the one thing that has been good the
left wing promotion has been going on from city to city that
they've been trying to do so is not worked out very well. And he
slipped it in there as something should be universal. Notice one
thing they've been pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing
and they've California has already adopted it some areas
Adam Curry: what is the one thing that's I am they slipped
it in there something about the instead of going to jail you
will go into drug rehab or some program?
John C. Dvorak: No you could play the whole thing again but
I'm not going to belabor this that play the Biden answer.
Adam Curry: Oh, we have an answer a solution. Okay, here we
go. I like it
Unknown: ending cash balance
Adam Curry: in cash. Oh, ending cash bail. Yeah. Well, he kind
of learn Hey, girl Sorry, I didn't hear that when did the
first time he he learned how to say that and yo, Semite. And
class. Well,
John C. Dvorak: yeah, so that's like a big deal. They want to
end cash bail. So in other words, you get arrested get let
go.
Adam Curry: But But hold on, is that well, that's already
happened that's already taking place in New York. They already
have no cash.
John C. Dvorak: They're doing that here in San Francisco too.
Yeah, well, first of
Adam Curry: all, it's interesting because you don't
even get arrested for under $900. So or damage or theft. So
what what what do you have to do to actually get arrested and
have to post? I guess, there's no bail.
Murder. Wow, that's it.
John C. Dvorak: Pretty much. So now here's the big one. Everyone
made a big fuss about this is his diversity gaff, which I
guess you you and Moe have to talk about this and not in a
maybe there's nothing here. But this is pretty funny when you
listen to Biden going on because he's takes the black this is
taking the black voter for granted once again. Yes.
Unknown: And by the way, what you all know, but most people
don't know. Unlike the African American community with notable
exceptions. The Latino community is an incredibly diverse
community with incredibly different attitudes about
different things Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah, well he later clarified of course Oh sure. He
did.
John C. Dvorak: I didn't know that. Now let's go with this.
This is the Iso I picked up in competition to your ISO okay.
And this is from the sad day I didn't have it in a these clips,
but here it is.
Unknown: It's real. It's not a joke. It's real.
Adam Curry: Oh, that's pretty good. That's pretty good
competition. Do you have any others was that
John C. Dvorak: that's the only one that's my one lone ice. So
Adam Curry: let's just do a little compete here. I like
Unknown: kale, not doughnuts. It's real. It's
not a joke.
Adam Curry: It's real. No, I think it's real is better as an
end of show the quality of the clip it is better it's a better
quality clip. Yes. Nice.
John C. Dvorak: So apparently, I guess he's got the first crew
sound guys finally, because of what we've discovered, which is
that this all equality sound guys are working for Steyer and
Bloomberg because they've been paying top dollar. And now that
those guys are added on Haven't they they've gotten to work for
Biden
Adam Curry: yes and I did find out who possibly was wink wink
nudge nudge was responsible for the shit so far and we're gonna
call them out that's B and why productions in Sioux City Iowa
apparently they're the guys who have a messed up everything
that's what the industry is telling me.
Yes, it's like
the remote live streaming we use waves e motion LV one is like
someone said, Oh, how can we go wrong with these incredibly
smart techno nerd guys looking at old company their gear? They
got flashy lights. One of them's Indian.
John C. Dvorak: Well, I don't know. I'm not going to just
sound like a big hit and say if I'm going to be hiring top notch
sound guys and going to LA or New York.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Not to Sioux City. Yeah,
John C. Dvorak: just saying. You even Oakland. Yeah, all right.
Some action. There was a some Georgia student took a pic bunch
of pictures. They made a big fuss about it. Then they kicked
her out of school
Unknown: in Georgia to high school students had been
suspended after they published images of classmates ignoring
social distancing guidelines and not wearing masks in crowded
hallways at North Paulding high school in Dallas, Georgia. 15
year old sophomore Hannah Waters says she was ordered to remain
home from school for five days extra she tweeted a photo and
video of unmasked students crowding her school's hallways
on the second day of the new school year. She told CNN her
only aim was to call attention to unsafe conditions.
Adam Curry: And then what happened? Did they get arrested?
What happened to these kids?
John C. Dvorak: They just sent them home. So this is just some
bullcrap month or summer car week.
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm so tired of this stuff. Especially the
school thing, man. The schools are bad. There's not nothing's
gonna reopen. I mean, it's just not gonna have the teachers are
scared crapless most of them
John C. Dvorak: and should be they're all lefties that are?
Well,
Adam Curry: that's not true. That's not true. They're not but
the unions, the teachers unions, they they have no say the
teachers themselves. I don't think have any say these unions
are the ones that are really a problem.
John C. Dvorak: was starting to look that way.
Adam Curry: Well, as I was reading most most teachers, you
know, the union dues are, it's kind of predetermined is taken
right out of your check. You don't get to write a check to
them. It's all taken care of boom, it's gone. You're in a
unit is with most unions. Yeah. Well, that means that you know,
you don't have anything, nothing you can say.
John C. Dvorak: You can say I don't want to eat. Yeah, you can
go to the meetings and make a fuss. Okay,
Adam Curry: I'm just I'm taking exception, because we have a lot
of teachers who are producers, and they're certainly not all
lefties who read the New York Times. Certainly,
John C. Dvorak: apparently, the guys who run the unions are
lefties or read the New York Times.
Adam Curry: Yes. Those are definitely those guys, for sure.
John C. Dvorak: No, you can take over a union. It's not
impossible.
Adam Curry: But I think if you see, I mean, people are going
insane. At the Brooklyn parents released, you know, like
something for schools and what needs to be done and they're and
they're already have the mindset. There's no other way
from now on out, it's going to be full on remote distance
learning, let's just prepare for it. There's nothing left to do,
we might as well do it. When we can, we'll have some physical
education classes, we did infrastructure and and they're
trying to create this utopian world where all kids can sit at
home with their little Google Chromebook and, and come and
learn.
John C. Dvorak: And here's the problem that you're going to
have to deal with. Which you don't have to deal with now,
which is if you have a history teacher who's the best in the
world, and he's teaches a online course out of San Luis Obispo.
Why am I taking anybody else's course? I will send my kids to
flock to the best of the best of the best. Yeah. And so you dare
only taken top notch people from here in there and they would be
on this online. I mean, you know, what difference does it
make? You know, everything is going to gravitate to a very few
sources. Because there's people out there that will show
themselves to be really lousy online teachers. Some people are
only good in classroom. I don't I don't
Adam Curry: think any teacher can can educate effectively.
Certainly not. Well do young people remotely.
John C. Dvorak: i Well, let's go over my thoughts on this as I've
talked about this on the show numerous times because I would
take the old control data played or whatever that system was,
when I was in college, it was on, you know, kind of a
computerized learning. That doesn't work. Everybody knows it
doesn't. That's why they discontinued the whole thing.
And it crops up every once in a while, you can learn a little
bit, and but there's nothing like, you know, hands on
somebody, oh, no, you do it this way. Because you always get
stuck in a rut, you don't know, quite understand anything you do
need hands on. But to be on the other side of the argument,
there are probably people who are so good at online, that I
can see that it's being effective with somebody that's
actually not a computer like a pure computer program. But
someone who's actually lecturing online, I listen to lectures
that are broadcast on TV on some of these obscure University
networks that listen to the lectures, dollars in the
college, listen to a lecture.
Adam Curry: So you seem to be saying, It's okay, you can
figure out how to do it, and it's going to be just fine.
John C. Dvorak: No, I said that it's certain things. You can't
learn this, somebody's telling you exactly how to put your
hands on saying no, you do it this way. You have to be right
on top of you. Right. But for broader subjects like history,
I'll go back to that. How hands on does that need to be? How
come a series of lectures and a and a reading maybe six or seven
important books?
Adam Curry: All right, no, as an I'll take history as an exam, I
was only good at two two subjects, geography and history.
And the reason for both that I excelled in them is because the
teachers had even a glance from a teacher to look at make sure
you understand it is something that does not translate in this
environment. I think it's a horrible idea. And I don't and I
think that, no, I know that this is not going to be good. If if
if we continue with this idea that this remote, the education
is going to turn out well developed, well rounded
individuals know if you have four kids in one house, and
they're all at it simultaneously on their laptops now. No, no,
no, no, no, we only can talk about this from our own
experience of where we are. But this is not the you know, we're
we're top 5% of people that are in privilege and wealth in the
country. Probably everybody who's listening. Probably
everyone who's listening, except for the five producers
experiencing homelessness. They're probably laughing their
ass off listen to this.
John C. Dvorak: Well, that's the part of the New World Order.
Adam Curry: It's definitely part of the New World Order, and I'll
have no part of it. And of course, I don't have kids
anymore that have to take place in it. putties if I ever get a
crown grandkid I'm gonna get very involved in annoying
John C. Dvorak: let me play a couple more clips.
Adam Curry: Hold on a second. First. I forgot I do have a new
Joe Biden jingo for your segments. So I'll play it after
the fact.
Unknown: Man physical mental football as well as my mental
cramp up line dog face pointing straight up.
Adam Curry: Like corn. For no reason.
John C. Dvorak: No reason. There's a big, big deal in
international news is the Bella Rousselet.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes, this is well, is it just the election or
more just like a general riot?
John C. Dvorak: Well, there's a right that's going to happen
after the election. I can assure you because the election is
rigged. And they this is the bet there's a lot of reports on this
and people should look a few of them up because it's very
interesting. And I don't know I also looked at Bella Russa
Victoria Nuland
Adam Curry: found nothing no, no, no, I can tell you what this
is. But let's listen to your clip first.
John C. Dvorak: Okay, this is the Bella Russo election from
France 24. They kind of the background on the whole thing
Unknown: about touring deliveries for his video blog
Sergey Tikkun offski channel the nation's discontent, not without
humor. Storm catch up on May 2000 offski announced he would

two men who were barred from running. One of them was jailed.
The other Valerie to Carlo is now in exile. He says
Belarusians tolerated Alexander Lukashenko authoritarianism
while the economy was doing okay, but not anymore.
It's a disastrous situation we have like in 20 years, more than
650,000 people left the country and the GDP are below was 10
years ago, was 60 billion US dollars. And this year, it would
be 57
When the authorities prevent it to tenaska from holding a rally
on Thursday, she urged her supporters to attend a
government sponsored concert instead changes the title of a
Perestroika era hit that suddenly rings out from the
sound system. A symbolic rebellion that earned these DJs
10 days in prison.
Adam Curry: I also got a report from a foreign source. That was
France 24. I got from Al Jazeera. It's about the same
length, ignoring
Unknown: a government ban. They shouted leave Lukashenka we will
win 1000s of supporters of opposition leaders to Atlanta to
kind of sky rallied for hours in front of an empty stage after
the candidate and her team was barred from entering. We all
worried but we all do not fear anymore. So all we have less
fear as before, because it's not possible to have so much fear in
our country. Locally Kalinina football I'm
here to support the next generation, our children, I'm 51
years old. And to be honest, I can't watch how my mother is
forced to count every cent because of her small pension.
Lukashenka also lost support after he called the COVID-19
crisis of psychosis, despite 1000s falling ill, that belief
has been deployed in full force around the park, people from all
walks of life and all ages have gotten here risking arrest, they
are beyond fear. They say.
Adam Curry: Alright, so I think I know what this is. You're
seeing a repeat of Ukraine. As there are seven critical Russian
pipelines that flow through through Belarus. They go to
Germany, they go to the Netherlands, they go to Poland,
they go to Belgium. And if the flow from Belarus is cut
Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium will then have to get
their gas from Ukraine. But the Russians are not happy because
it's the same situation where they are not paying the toll. So
they're at the kind of at the distribution point, they get the
big tap from the Russian pipeline. And then they send it
off to these smaller rolls through these diverse pipelines.
And they take a cut in the middle, and they haven't been
paying that cut back. And now the Russians are saying, Oh,
we're gonna shut this down. I think it may have already
happened to to some of these supply lines. And Bella Russa
saying, Okay, we'll just tap it off the main line. So it's the
same thing. I don't know if they have any place that Russia can,
can take over. But it seems like Ukraine all over
again. No, it
John C. Dvorak: seems like there's a variation, it seems to
me. But in one way some that element may? Well, I mean, first
of all, you had Russians in Ukraine, they had this Crimea
situation. There are some there are some Russians. There was
another couple reports showing these so called so called
Russian agitators arrested
Adam Curry: by the I mean, it's like Georgia. I mean, it's
always like Georgia than it is like Ukraine. So the Russians,
it's always the same? Well,
John C. Dvorak: again, I think it's a variation, but I do
whatever the case, this is not going to end well. When you say
variation, what do you mean? Well, it's not that mean that
all the elements of the Russians that Crimea thing, that eastern
part of Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine was the was the capital
of Russia that began in Kyiv. The whole operation, this is a
little different. It's it's just it's a variation. To me. It's
not the same and I think that I think it's more of like Romania,
where Ceausescu is gonna get hung at the end of the day. I
didn't do that in Ukraine, they didn't take the gold guy and
string them up.
Adam Curry: No, but they've no one one before they threw the
president in jail. They killed a whole bunch of people who were
demonstrating you know, these are things that could
John C. Dvorak: still happen. And then Victoria Nuland has not
been seen so this is the point major
Adam Curry: this is this is very annoying. We need to play a
jingle where's it where in the world? Where is Victoria Kagan
John C. Dvorak: she's working for the Peace Foundation now.
Adam Curry: Yes, whether or not it's it's called her husband's
it's called something else. Gosh, what is it? It is that was
not a foundation though. It's a think tank. Nothing nasty
Unknown: piece. Tank. Yeah.
John C. Dvorak: You can't find the jingle. No. Okay. So now I
got one more clip. I gotta play. This is a good one. This is the
tax billionaires bill. I think this is the best thing I've ever
heard.
Unknown: On Thursday, Senators Bernie said Under said Mark and
Kristen chilla brand introduced the make billionaires pay act a
60% tax on over $700 billion in windfall profits made this year.
By the top point 00 1% of Americans. Senator Sanders
wrote, quote, we can continue to allow the very rich to get much
richer while everyone else gets poorer and poorer. Or we can tax
the winnings a handful of billionaires made during the
pandemic to improve the health and well being of 10s of
millions of Americans. Sanders said
Adam Curry: this, I have seen a couple of tweets about it. But
John C. Dvorak: where do you $7 billion bill for Jeff Bezos,
your young girl's favorite guy. $47 billion tax bill.
Adam Curry: Yeah, seems fair.
John C. Dvorak: It's hilarious.
Adam Curry: And how's that moving along this idea? Who
propose this actually,
John C. Dvorak: Sanders and Jilla brand and some other
doofus?
Adam Curry: So how long before Joe Biden starts saying,
John C. Dvorak: aren't they he's got I've said soon? Aren't they
controlling his agenda? Isn't that the accusation? Somebody
that he's gonna have to say it because they're gonna start
grilling him on it. This is a this actually may be I didn't
think about it a ploy by Sanders, to get Biden to make a
commitment about taxing these. It's only about five or six
guys. We're talking about the top 10 in the Forbes list. Right
now. They're all words like 50 100 billion. I mean, the
numbers are ludicrous. And it just nick them 60% of their
wealth.
Adam Curry: That is that is kind of crazy. You know, I see on
blue Twitter that there are people now worried that this
whole delay, and I presume we've got to hear something about his
vice presidential pick. But it may all be a delay, because you
know, Biden is still not officially the nominee. And they
feel that Bernie is starting to move into a little bit too close
for comfort, which is clear he is and that they someone else
may may get the nomination after all that this is not a cut and
dry thing. Do you see any evidence of that? No.
John C. Dvorak: I see zero evidence of that. He's got the
numbers. They can't take it away from them. Right? They like him.
And they're doing a good job of covering up is the fact that
he's lost his money. You know, he's just not there. You know,
they're
Adam Curry: MSNBC, or someone was very worried about and I
know it's whenever I bring up Kanye everyone's eyes roll. But
they're taking him very seriously. As Andrea Mitchell
brought in Clyburn, who is the majority whip? This is the guy
this is the guy that got Joe. Basically that Joe the job got
Joe the gig. Yeah, got Joe the job. So Kanye, of course, is
just crazy. Who whatever it thinks it was just talk about
him. Why would you bring up Kanye? He's not seriously having
an episode. He's crazy. But they're bringing in big guns to
make him to marginalize him.
Unknown: I was gonna ask you about Kanye West. Never thought
I'd be saying that to you, Mr. Leader. But there we are. He's
now on the ballot in Colorado and Oklahoma. And we were told
that a Republican operative from the Trump campaign delivered his
petitions in Wisconsin. Now I know his family has said he
suffers from bipolar. And that this is not serious. But let's
face it, what happened in three states in 2016? By you know,
80,000 votes, decided an election.
Adam Curry: So I think Andrea gives it away right there.
Someone, someone within the Biden camp or the DNC, it's
like, Okay, we got to deal with this Kanye thing, because all it
takes is a couple states and some idiot, of course, is very
unrealistic at this point in the game. Where that with Kanye, but
I like I liked it. They're worried that's that's very
interesting, finding the
Unknown: presidency. Joe fine. And the Green Party tickets. So
it could this be a Trump campaign effort to try to siphon
off votes from Joe Biden, in battleground states.
Adam Curry: Question about that. I think we all saw what was
going on in Wisconsin, where he was getting you up from the get
on the ballot. But you know, African Americans, most
especially know what this campaign is all about. They've
seen these kinds of tactics before. We saw that here in
South Carolina. I have been saying for years now that this
whole wrestling influence, I think their trial run was in the
United States Senate race, right here in South Carolina. So we've
seen this before we get a victim to it when we didn't know where
it was coming from and what was going on. We now know. And we're
not going to make that mistake again. If you fooled me Once
that shame is on you, you fool me twice. That shame would be on
me. We're gonna be shamed in this election.
Sounds pretty serious to me.
John C. Dvorak: Well get fooled you know the deal. So, look, you
Adam Curry: know the deal to face?
John C. Dvorak: Well, you know, Kyle said he's doing it to
siphon votes away from Biden. And I can see that there's there
are people that won't vote for a Republican. Sure. But they feel
like they should vote that they can't vote for Biden because
Biden is like, you know, he's lost it and so they can't vote
for Biden in good conscience because you don't to put a guy
like that in office and but you got to vote for somebody so you
get this okay, I'm gonna vote for Kanye. Exactly, because it
could become a thing. Yes. Well, I get to legally get a percent
of the votes
Adam Curry: come in. He is in tough competition now for my
vote to vermin supreme. I am seriously considering Kanye.
Okay, vermin is prom promising a pony. But I think Kanye is more
entertaining.
John C. Dvorak: Is Jana, Texas ballot?
Adam Curry: I can write them in?
John C. Dvorak: Oh, yeah, you could write that.
Adam Curry: Has to be a writing. Not gonna get on a ballot? Your
couple of them? Yeah. I like it that I think they should take
them very seriously. And the way they speak about them is stupid.
And I think he's a lot smarter than they're giving him credit
for. Of course, you only has a billion dollar corporation with
the shoes with the shoes and the music and the church.
Why would you worry about him?
John C. Dvorak: Yeah. Well, I have no idea.
Adam Curry: No, I definitely have some Black Lives Matter
stuff that we can do that after the break. Why don't we take
that right now?
Unknown: I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda.

John C. Dvorak: Sometimes you want to go hang out with the
Adam Curry: you been triggered? All you want to say is like Ben,
Ben tracking some of the white guilt followers, the white
fragility followers, people doing the work. And I was sent a
link to a video from a Minneapolis mom. And this was
from Juneteenth. So it's been out for a bit, but of course,
the riots were taking place. So she was subsequently prepared to
do some of the work. I just wanted to share what she posted,
because I thought it was quite revealing. And I feel sad.
Unknown: I'm making this video because I wanted to give you a
little window into my thinking, and invite you to brainstorm and
dream alongside me. I'm going to share an idea with you about how
to raise our white children to be better allies, better
abolitionists, and better people than we are.
Adam Curry: I'm already feeling sorry for these children, the
horror kids the horrible pain that's going to be bestowed upon
their psyches
Unknown: with the caveat that I am by no means an expert or an
authority here, please do not rely on a white woman to tell
you how to be anti racist, or do the work that's needed to combat
a culture of white supremacy. I am just one privileged,
ignorant, flawed individual with one voice and what I'm going to
share with you
Adam Curry: how bad is this? The self esteem level is at an all
time low. Well for her Yeah. And it's just makes me sad to hear
that. All these things, okay. You may be somewhat ignorant
about things which cheese
Unknown: right now is just a snapshot of my thinking at this
given moment. In this time, so this video is just food for
thought. If it inspires you. Great. Tell me why. Okay, here's
the notion that I'm exploring right now, why? Part one? A
major reason why racism is so pervasive in America and why our
institutions and society are so resistant to acknowledging and
then trying to dismantle this system,
Adam Curry: acknowledging and trying to enter the system. And
this
Unknown: is that white folks like myself have a really low
capacity for sitting in discomfort and having difficult
conversations.
Adam Curry: Get mad when I hear this? Don't I'm not monolithic
with you, lady. Maybe white folk in Minneapolis.
John C. Dvorak: Where is that? Where she is? Yeah. Yeah, it's
Unknown: and that part too,
John C. Dvorak: you know, at some level besides pay, at some
level beat size, showing what appears to be low self esteem.
In fact, I'm not sure that's true. Jesus, credibly
condescending. She thinks she knows everything. She's
patronizing. She's an absolute aihole. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I think you nailed it, but I'm pretty sure that
this is par for the course I don't think this is an
exception. It's really kindness is
John C. Dvorak: a patronizing condescending a whole. Who
thinks she knows better? And she's going to be lecturing you
despite the fact she has no credentials to do so.
Adam Curry: Was it to be fair She says that she's white.
Doesn't that give her the credentials to do that?
John C. Dvorak: Well, according to her own thinking, no. Okay,
that just the opposite is true. Let's continue. If she's white,
she should do and let's go to let's take it to the extreme.
You've heard this, you're white, you sit down and shut up. That's
what she should do. Don't worry, I'm in agreement with that,
don't
Adam Curry: worry, it's coming.
Unknown: A major reason why racism is so pervasive in
America and why our institutions and society are so resistant to
acknowledging and then trying to dismantle this system, is that
white folks, like myself have a really low capacity for sitting
in discomfort and having difficult conversations. And
that part too, if we parent our young children in ways that
build their tolerance for holding discomfort, we can help
raise a generation of more open minded, compassionate, self
reflective people who are going to actually do the hard work.
Adam Curry: The way I took this is work, it's a cop out. It's by
saying, I've decided to do something against systemic
racism. And everything else is inequalities. And I'm going to
raise my children. And so she gets away it was like the hobbit
I'm doing all these great things with my kids. Yeah, my kids, um,
we believe the children of the future and we're going to change
them to hate themselves like their mother. Of course, you
know, where this comes from?
Unknown: This is just one move. Right? I know that it's not the
answer. It does not absolve us of our responsibility of doing
our own self reflection and awakening. It's just one piece
of the puzzle but I do think it's really fundamental to the
fight for justice and equity. Some friends of my Some friends
and I have just started
Adam Curry: even is equity. Equity is it's not equality,
equity, you have equity, it means you have a stake in
something No, yeah, piece of the pie. So when did when did equity
become synonymous with?
You can't just say equity. Okay, can you? Well, she
John C. Dvorak: did so yeah, I guess I know.
Adam Curry: But isn't isn't that changing the meaning of the of
the word equity
John C. Dvorak: and changing the meaning of the word equity?
Well, has it changed the meaning of the word equity?
Adam Curry: Well, I believe that okay, so then what is she saying
as a share? So equity is a share, but she says it's for
equity.
John C. Dvorak: Yeah, they need people need to share. In other
words, we got to get Jeff Bezos to give us a 47 billion
Adam Curry: okay, but that would be more equity, not just
everyone has equity. Just your piece sucks to me that no one
had
Unknown: some friends of my Some friends and I have just started
reading and discussing Robyn D'Angelo. Why it's so hard for
white people to talk about racism. And in it, she shared
her observation that when confronted with the realities of
whiteness, white supremacy, systemic racism, and especially
any act of racism that we have perpetrated, we white people,
very rarely open up and listen,
Adam Curry: oh my God, dude.
Unknown: We very rarely the other person for bringing these
ideas to our attention. We very rarely say, I want to learn
more. I want to do better. I want to understand my biases and
my privilege and my prejudices. Instead, as she points out, it
is so common for us to withdraw, defend ourselves, go silent. Try
and focus on our good intentions. explain explain,
explain, explain. And just insist that we were
misunderstood.
Adam Curry: There it is there's your over socialized person is
very dangerous
John C. Dvorak: whatever get a job or work for a living or get
out of this whatever they're in this rut of, of self luscious
Adam Curry: well actually, she started the this noodle mom
started her video. I didn't clip that. My husband and I just got
done talking words of love and freedom on the pavement. Okay,
that works. But there's a lot of this weirdness going on, you
know, Oprah on YouTube is now doing these kinds of white guilt
sessions. I have a very short clip just to give you a taste,
Unknown: branch handle and as white people we even the poorest
of the poor, I feel still has a leg up.
And its leg up is what I was saying you still have your
whiteness that's what that's what the term white privilege
is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage no
matter

No, not at all show into a black hole. No,
Adam Curry: I was. I was hoping that you would have one fun clip
for us to leave. You've been schlepping around a couple of
clips from show to show show me this something?
John C. Dvorak: I got a couple of
Adam Curry: things where you can play. Nice you get one now you
get one we got to end the show.
John C. Dvorak: What is this? What kind of a dictator Have you
become? Well, alright, I have one. I do have one. As a matter
of fact,
Adam Curry: it's the dictator who when you say how long was
the show and I give you the time you say it's too long.
John C. Dvorak: That's the dictator argue that that's okay.
I got the one. All right. So so every once in a while somebody
gets kind of you know, those guys and it England and had all
the old to mid 2 million Americans dead? Well, the other
half of that group was out of the University of Washington. So
they're trying to make a comeback. With their predictive
models.
Adam Curry: I've noticed this so yeah, it was the it was the
Imperial College in the UK.
John C. Dvorak: I was the one that they've been discredited.
But the University of Washington somehow got out unscathed. And
so but so they're trying to make a name for themselves. And
here's the latest bad prediction prediction for us all.
Adam Curry: Okay, I just not sure either another.
John C. Dvorak: Ah, yes.
Unknown: Okay. The US Coronavirus death toll is on
pace to reach nearly 300,000 By December, according to an
influential model by the Institute for Health Metrics and
Evaluation at the University of Washington. But the institute
projects 66,000 lives could be saved. If 95% of people in the
United States were face covering Oh,
please.
Adam Curry: Oh, my, how many percent of people could be saved
or created
John C. Dvorak: was 66,000 People can be saved or created
by wearing your face mask. So why can't everybody be saved
wearing a face masks to do this thing supposed to be that? Yeah,
well, there's put if everybody wears a face mask, there should
be no more deaths.
Adam Curry: Well, and that would be my question. Why are they
letting people out of jail? Why don't they just give them a face
masks?
John C. Dvorak: Well, that's actually a good question.
Adam Curry: Not quite a great one.
John C. Dvorak: Well, it's not a great question, but it's a good
question. Yeah,

Unknown: On the Hudson River
are you going to save New York City? Are you telling New York
City to drop dead which one is
common a New York State on decline?
Rats have been emboldened in a way few have ever seen. And
that's definitely happening in New York.
Say rats are taking to the streets like never before.
Experts say because so many restaurants are closed, there's
less garbage being selected and the rat population is starving.
According to the NYPD gun violence this year is up 150%
Over the same period last year, we've had 11 people killed 48
Total victims just within the five boroughs. And just within
24 hours,
police are also looking into the homeless sleeping in subway cars
and in stations. It is a growing problem with safety at risk
data on housing rentals out of New York City coming in a lot
worse than expected but the city emptying out fast.
When he coming back. We'll go to dinner, buy your drink, come
over, I'll
cook. Klein
what does this have to do with what we're talking about?
Adam Curry: Some people actually suggesting sharing articles that
say smoked weed. Yes, that's what I said.
Unknown: Then funding for childcare and mental health
care. And you need that especially when you have so much
mental health care
you're gonna have to smoke a lot of weed to make the stock chart
look
good. And I was in Ohio, I was in Texas, I was in Florida over
the last four or five days.
Namely the corona. You can call it so many different What a
horrible thing
what does this have to do with what we're talking about? Namely
the corona? Bullet so many different levels. What a
horrible thing.
Now these caveats don't mean you should ignore the study. It just
means we need more research. Before we consider the findings
as proven or fact.
What does this have to do with what we're talking about?
If I ever get stuck on a desert island, the drug I want is
hydroxychloroquine.
You know, before it became politicized, I was excited about
it.
This is one of the safest drugs I've ever seen, ever
knew about justice, maybe February, I think or maybe even
January. But certainly long before President Trump ever said
anything about it.
This, this drug is not only safe, it's actually good for you
in many instances,
Adam Curry: I knew that hydroxychloroquine look like a
very good treatment for this right now.
John C. Dvorak: But it's not providing the perfect protection
that people think that it is
Unknown: find something else to do. But it's not pick a walk but
quicks right now. It's time for you to quit your job.
And I thought there was just gonna be a shortage of medicine,
you know, everyone was gonna go out and buy it immediately.
The point is, this drug, this drug is not only is it safe,
it's good for you in many instances. Again, when you're in
the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask, white people
feel a little bit better and it might even blocked a droplet.
You're no different than a murder. You're not different.
Some people need to I hate to do
this, but I mean, I refuse to
let it go die.
Everybody just jumped all over the hydroxychloroquine I happen
to feel good about it. But it's not
John C. Dvorak: providing the perfect protection that people
think that it is.
Unknown: You're going to sacrifice your mother.
So it's amazing. I'm going to stop I don't need to say any
more about
