Adam Curry: Girls beat me up. Adam curry Jhansi Devora October
1 2023 This Year Award winning chemo nation media assassination
episode 1595. This is no agenda favoring favelas and
broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in
FEMA Region number six. In the morning, everybody. I'm I'm
sorry,
John C Dvorak: Ken from Northern Silicon Valley. We're Canada's
not requiring podcasters to register yet. I'm Justin
Adam Curry: Hill. Well, I didn't expect this to be the first item
on the menu. But I have I have some thoughts about this.
John C Dvorak: Well, as you as everyone knows, yes, for the
last 20 years, yes, I've been predicting this, predicting what
exactly that we are going to eventually have to register as
podcasters. Well,
Adam Curry: but we already have a podcast license, so we're kind
of good to go.
John C Dvorak: Well, that was that's our hope. The actually
the good just grandfather, our podcast licensees in that would
be easily
Adam Curry: easily. So the idea is that now Canada already had a
candidate by the way, I'm not against the basic premise of if
you have a publicly funded while it's raining i crazier if you
have publicly funded media, which Canada does they also have
commercial radio, but let's just publicly funded media. And then
they
John C Dvorak: put bubbles, they funded their newspapers.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, that's, that's a different story, put
that off to the side, stick a pin in it. And France does this.
And I think the UK had some regulation at some point, that
if you're playing music as an example, you need to play a
certain amount of national product. And if it's Public
Media, I'm not necessarily against that. But that somehow
morphed into the online, what do they call this the CRC CRTC,
which is the Canadian regulator. They had the online streaming
services, regulation. And to me, that still is for music and not
necessarily for Canadian news or anything like that. There's
really, although we're starting it now with podcasting 2.0,
there's really not a lot of music and podcasting. So now
they say, Well, yeah, we need to, we were probably going to
have to have podcast companies that offer audio or video
content and generate more than $10 million in annual revenues
to also register. And so that's kind of being turned into Oh,
it'll be podcast as well. So I think there's a lot of people
jumping on this trying to make a big noise and you know, so that
they pay attention to them. Yeah, I'm a podcaster. Not him
over my dead body. Jordan Peterson, that Jordan Peterson
he just might make $10 million. I don't know. But this would be
more for literally an outfit like like the daily wire even
though I doubt the day as an American company have to
register in Canada. And that's kind of the crazy thing about it
is like it's you have to be in Canada, or do you have to have
do you have to talk to Canada if you're talking about Canada and
what do they want to do with this? It makes no sense. Makes
no sense. Hello, hello? Yeah, no, but I think you're right
eventually there will be registration I don't know if
that'll happen here. But Canada Yeah, sure. Europe Absolutely. I
was in Houston yesterday
John C Dvorak: yes you went to Houston
Adam Curry: I did I did for the Spark Media Ignite conference. I
don't spark me it's it's a podcast conference for God
casters I did the keynote
John C Dvorak: how many God casters are there home man? This
Are you the podcaster and the what podcasts are God casts you
put together put God God cast God caster for God cast a good
podcast they surprised
Adam Curry: me with a lifetime achievement award which I was
not expecting. Which is always kind of weird. It's like this My
life is over now. I'm done. Thanks for your ad you know, I
was like you know it feels like oh man. I don't feel good about
John C Dvorak: like it's called the pathetic End of Life Award
that they give out to people that maybe could have won some
more awards this give you this and you can die in peace
Adam Curry: Yeah, I guess that was it. That was it there's
there's God casters have quite you know the Focus on the Family
guys. They have millions of listeners is unbelievable.
That's pretty pretty big. But you know what you do? On here at
a god caster conference. You don't people don't come up to
you and say, Hey man, how many downloads you got? That you
don't hear? Not from a single person. Where's
John C Dvorak: any of you heard that anywhere?
Adam Curry: In the podcast industrial complex. Oh, yeah. Oh
absolutely, man, how many downloads you have for that
show? How is horrible? It's
John C Dvorak: already always did you always end with the
Belch? No.
Adam Curry: No, this horrible people are horrible. But
John C Dvorak: bless because they know that anyone in the in
the in the god casting business have relatively no doubt. It's
not that's not true.
Adam Curry: That's not true. Yeah, I was surprised. I was
surprised to see that. The audience size. You know, the big
was the audience as I said, again, as I said, the Focus on
the Family podcast. Let's guys have like 4 million listeners
John C Dvorak: I think people our way,
Adam Curry: you know, they're big no agenda, guys, they send
they talk about us all the time.
John C Dvorak: Well, that's nice. I don't see it in today's
donations.
Adam Curry: Speaking of speaking of donations, you know, I'm glad
that we that we at least do donations, you see New York
Public Radio, they're going to cut 12% of their workforce,
which first of all, it's amazing. That W NYC how many how
many people? Do you think they have full time for a public
radio station in New York? And I'll I'll preface this by saying
when I worked at z 100 in New York, the number one station the
market at the time in the in the early 90s. I think that 25
people and that included Bubba the love sponge who did the the
prize man. How many people do you think New York Public Radio
WNYC implies
John C Dvorak: employs more than I would have to is New York big.
Yeah. So I would say 25 341 340
Adam Curry: full time employees
John C Dvorak: they had to cut 10% Or what was it? Yes. And do
you know that? That's 30 people that's the number people are
cutting or less than the total number of people that you had at
that other station.
Adam Curry: So you have the radio lab. You've heard the
radio lab podcast, radio you've heard that show? Yeah. 22 people
work on that show alone 22 I mean, this something went wrong
and radio anyway, the listen to
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Laugh all at once you go to the public
coffers, you know.
Adam Curry: But it's not really public coffers. I mean, it's,
it's they get very little from, you know, they get from the big
foundations. That's where they get their money. LaFawn TIF
John C Dvorak: foundation money, same public coffers. Listen, the
New York Public Radio's
Adam Curry: president and CEO His name is LePhone tan Oliver.
That's your problem right there. You got a CEO named LaFontaine
Oliver. That's an expensive operation. Where'd this guy come
from? The Ford Foundation sounds expensive. Sounds very
expensive. He said in a memo to employees now listen to this. So
where did they get their money from again?
John C Dvorak: public coffers,
Adam Curry: in a memo sent to employees that quote, a free
fall in the advertising market had led to the decision to cut
staff.
John C Dvorak: This reminds me that I was getting some clips
from it. I didn't do do this clip. But I just want to mention
it because kind of part of this. I'm been listening to NPR. Yeah.
And they had an ad for Squarespace. That was clearly an
ad with a call to action. You know, go get the code, whereas
bait they gave the website the whole thing is completely out of
control with public broadcasting.
Adam Curry: And we knew this in 2009. We were already
complaining about NPR selling ads and they're not they're not
sponsored or brought to you by that literally selling ads here
is and they had a downfall in 2009. If you recall, Okay,
moving on
Unknown: to money. How are NPR is corporate underwriting
revenues holding up in the recession? And what about
foundation grants? So this
Adam Curry: so there you go. That's that was that was the
question. He was the lady who was running all of NPR at the
time her answer
Unknown: to different stories. Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is the this
is the area that is most down for us is in is in sponsorship,
underwriting advertising, call it whatever you want to call
Adam Curry: it, whatever you want. advertise its advertising.
The same people who sell radio ads for commercial ad.
commercial stations. Sell NPR it's a farce. It's a farce. It's
a farce farce. I love the word farce
John C Dvorak: because it's a good word. Yeah, he just didn't
hear you say it much. It's funny. It
Adam Curry: sounds so much like fart you know, so you can say
force force force force anyway so this is this is truly the
only
John C Dvorak: answer over 300 people working there doing what?
I know we have even if you had 20 people doing ad sales you
still have 280 people doing what?
Adam Curry: I really don't know. I really don't know I mean 22
People on the radio lab show and this is insane well look
everyone when it's all over this is all over Spotify spent a
billion dollars everyone got all jacked up and then it was over.
It's over. It's done people he's done. Anyway, the reason why I
brought up Houston is not to a tout my lifetime achievement
award. But I got a lot of what is it say? What
John C Dvorak: kind of an award was it a big giant trophy? Was
it a big thing like a sumo wrestler guys who was it a
little plaque? Or was it something a glass thing?
Adam Curry: It's like a wrestler belt? Yeah. It was glass. It's a
glass thing glass mount lasting glass thing? You know, it looks
like like big was this glass thing? I'd say about the size
about the size of a large hand you know its size large hands.
Yes. Like a large hand like my hand you know and that and that
mounted on a nice hands on a piece of wood handsome piece of
wood? Yes.
John C Dvorak: Give it you know, I've said this. I don't want to
interrupt your story. But I said this before I'm gonna say it
again. And then I'm going to maybe do something about it.
Okay, please. We should have the no agenda podcasting awards.
Make something official. We're the experts. Let's face it, when
it comes to what's good and what's bad in the world of
podcasting. And we should do the award I wouldn't award ceremony
and those little glass things are cheap to make and
Adam Curry: didn't look cheap and look nice. Look my car we
don't even even have to give the people
John C Dvorak: anything. Physical certificate will work.
It doesn't matter. Yeah. But it fire up the printer. Printer.
But yeah, well, just beside the point, the Alternative Media
Awards. Now the we bought media dot award, we keep
Adam Curry: talking about this. And we'll you know, we'll be
long gone. And people remember those
John C Dvorak: things. So I think we're I think this is the
upcoming year 2024 is the year of the award. We're going to
we're going to do it. Do you know how many talk and you know,
I've always said this? I don't like the idea of talking to no
action. I hate it. Wow.
Adam Curry: said Mr. Action, please. Well, there's a lot of
podcasts of words, that's a problem. There must be fifth, I
don't know of any. Ah, they just had the British Podcast Awards.
They had the black Podcast Awards. They had the last night
in fact, while I was getting an award at the SPARC media ignite
awards, was the Podcast Awards by blueberry Todd you know the
Todd runs those he's done them for 17 years. And he's now
completely virtual. Now there's a whole bunch of different
awards. Maybe we should just do the the pride podcast pride
awards. How about that? There's there's a category we can
imagine what fun we'd have with those entrance coolest color
hair best teacher award the best teacher podcast I can just
imagine I don't know it's it seems like a loser to me.
John C Dvorak: Why is it a loser is publicity you get the award
out there
Adam Curry: about a single one of these Podcast Awards there's
no published that's
John C Dvorak: because they're they're no good that we can do
them
Adam Curry: and how much do we charge for entry entry fee
because they'll charge an entry fee this this is the scam
John C Dvorak: that is a scam by the way. Yeah, it's done. Same
thing with wine awards every all these award things. They're all
you have to you have to pay him money to get nominated. Yeah,
it's a scam we have to do. I hate to say it. No entry fee we
just pick
Adam Curry: well, how do we make money on this scam then
John C Dvorak: value for value?
Adam Curry: Interesting. We can get sponsors.
John C Dvorak: That's fine to get sponsors. All right. And I
don't like the idea. I think it's it's
Adam Curry: and we have the troll corrupt. The troll award
was the one that the trolls choose.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, maybe that's an interesting idea.
Adam Curry: All right. So the reason why I brought up Houston.
Yeah, I'm wondering is because people are confirming it to me,
this colony reg D Y'all north of Houston. This is the big
development that I we've only seen by air where there must be
no 25,000 homesteads apparently it's all trailers and this is
where the migrants are now being given 12% unsecured loans for a
trailer. And, and I was reading this article because, you know,
the Texas Attorney General who who did not get kicked out. He
is saying I'm gonna go after this now and he is when he what
he's calling it. He's calling it shanty town of favela. And I
thought, wow. And I thought, yeah, this is exactly what you
said. And and although people are horrified. Is it really a
bad idea?
John C Dvorak: Sure they should. They're basically selling them
trailers, right? Yeah. And shanty towns are going to be
mostly trailer parks. Now. Do you remember this is not a new
idea. Do you remember I think it was during George Bush
administration when the FEMA was bringing all these trailers into
Florida or wherever the hurricane went. And they were
poisoning people with formaldehyde poisoning, because
the trailers are poorly made.
Adam Curry: That Well, I thought that was Katrina wasn't like
Katrina. Katrina. Yeah, it was formaldehyde trailers. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, the formaldehyde trailers that FEMA
was bringing in and putting people in, I think a favela or a
shanty town completely made out of trailers. So as a giant
trailer park is, is a fabulous concept.
Adam Curry: I was talking to two people last night who had been
on a mission to Brazil, and they went into the favelas and or the
shanty towns. And they said, No, it was actually quite
interesting, because, you know, they'll knock on doors and you
know, I have you been saved by Jesus. But they will go in and
these people would have expensive wristwatches and
beautiful televisions on the wall, which kind of just kind of
goes to your, to your basic idea that yeah, it looks crappy. But
it's not like it isn't an actual economy and doesn't work. It's
just it's, you know, oh, we're horrified by the idea, but I
don't see what what other what option there is.
John C Dvorak: There is none. I think you're right.
Adam Curry: The Unlike Europe, where they have completely gone
to problem reaction, and here's the solution part. L the big
muckety mucks got together, they had they're working on a deal.
Listen carefully to what they're doing about the migration. I'm
sorry, it's irregular immigration in the EU, European
Unknown: Union has been trying to regulate its efforts to deal
with the migrant crisis for years. And now finally,
agreement, maybe close cherished crisis
Adam Curry: proposal gained a huge support. By the way, all
these people, they don't this is not no one gets to vote on this.
This. They're just this is commission work. They just doing
it. And they're all getting together, and then all the B
rolls and I'm laughing and patting each other on the back.
And
John C Dvorak: I have to say, I have to say the EU has taken the
admitted, admitted. Ministry Ministry of State, I can't say
it administrators state to an extreme. I mean, it's like let's
take this idea which the Americans developed. And let's
institutionalize it.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable. And they're all but they're all
just hanging out, you know, the Oh, and you know, they go to
Malta, they go to Brussels is always a different location,
different location,
Unknown: because you have find the right balance that member
states will support. And again, I'm sure that in a few days, we
will also have the formal decision on the general approach
on the on the crisis proposal, and that is very much a welcome.
Adam Curry: So just don't worry, we'll have a proposal a balance,
you know what that means, don't you balance. That means Hey,
everybody's getting some and you get some migrants and you get
some migrants and you get some migrants.
Unknown: This step forward for the migration and asylum pact is
significant. It allows the EU to extend the detention of migrants
arriving in the block. It will also compel members with
external borders to deploy more micro processing centers.
Adam Curry: Don't worry, Moore's coming, but you just make more
migrant processing centers, everything's okay. We're not
going to change anything, just have more processing centers, so
it doesn't look so bad
Unknown: collectively, that could deter and improve
authorities ability to deal with the huge numbers arriving on
Europe's shores this year. The move will come as a relief and
not just to those working on the frontlines of the crisis. German
objections have been the last roadblock to progress on the
deal. Those failed just as the country announced plans to boost
checkpoints at its borders, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Others have already made similar moves after Italy Slovenia said
it was tightening controls at its border with Croatia.
Adam Curry: Now this here's the problem. The whole idea behind
the European Union will really two things. The most important
is the euro, get rid of your money, you're done. We control
you because we control your money. The second one, no
borders, Schengen, no borders, everybody can cross around, do
whatever you want work in any country. And this was the big
European promise. This was the big dream of like the United
States of Europe. You know, this is what it was and now it's it's
in jeopardy without him. Then I like to
Unknown: stress that this is not about establishing internal
control, but about reinforce compensatory measures,
Adam Curry: compensatory measures. They just want to get
paid. That's not what that means. Compensatory measures.
Come Yeah, exactly what it means. Yeah, hey, Joe, it's okay
bring him in. But we just need to get paid Come on, and your
pay is
Unknown: at risk could be a founding principle of the EU
itself. The free movement of people inside the Schengen area
of the block has been described as one of the main achievements
of the European project men, the migrant crisis may have
threatened that
you came from the field as in a way of fighting so that the
European Union's internal borders can be kept open. We
need this European solution. Otherwise, Schengen is in
danger.
Authorities in Germany alone have recorded more than 204,000
asylum applications this year, up 78% Compared to 2022, doesn't
even include the 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees who fled the
war with Russia.
Adam Curry: I forgot that and the Ukrainian refugees. And as
we discussed in the last show, this is all a giant United
Nations project it's been going on for here. I have another
document that I put in the show notes, like that migration
replacement document from 2000. In the EU, Henry Kissinger 1974
We need to create conditions conducive to fertile fertility
decline. So we need to watch Yes,
John C Dvorak: for Where did you get that one. This
Adam Curry: is from his own, from his own un study here for
its own merits and consistent with the recommendations who
John C Dvorak: published this, the UN, for its most UN has got
to go
Adam Curry: well for its own merits and consistent with this
is Henry Kissinger, and consistent with the
recommendations of the world population plan of action.
priority should be given in the general aid program to selective
development policies in sectors offering the greatest promise of
increased motivation for smaller family size. In many cases,
pilot programs and experimental research will be needed as
guidance for later efforts on a larger scale, like sterilizing
your kids. The preferential sectors in sectors include
providing minimal levels of education, especially for women.
I'll read that again, meaningful education levels, especially for
women below that
John C Dvorak: can be read either way, of course. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's let's assume they mean it in a positive way.
Adam Curry: That's hard for me to do. Well, in increasing
income of the poorest, especially in rural areas,
including providing privately owned farms. Isn't that kind of
the favela Fabella idea.
John C Dvorak: I think it's more of the Homestead idea. Anyway,
negative attitude here.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. But where's this really coming from?
You see these boats coming over? And this is this is the pretty
much the only thing the mainstream media shows that I
can find at least, this is all NGOs. This is all
nongovernmental organizations, and a non governmental
organization gets money receives money from the government to do
certain tasks. Austin has a billion dollar NGO
John C Dvorak: to breathe air now there's your exit strategy
to
Adam Curry: resettle migrants asylum seekers in the United
States. Now listen to this
Unknown: European Union ministers responsible for
migration gathered to try and hammer out to green.
Adam Curry: I like on even like the way that that title reads.
The ministers responsible for migration. They're responsible
for it. They're not they're not responsible for stopping it. No,
the European Minister ministers, they have ministers whose job it
is, is to bring in migrants.
Unknown: European Union ministers responsible for
migration gathered to try and hammer out agreement on a
proposed migration and asylum pact. Discussions yielded no
final deal. Spain, which currently holds the EU
presidency struck an upbeat tone saying that the talks that
underscored the need to tackle the migrant crisis. The pact on
migration is today more than ever unnecessary agreement we
cannot do without it. It is one of our most immediate challenges
require flexibility, effort and generosity. From all of us. I
open up for questions the US Top migration official Ylva
Johansson was also upbeat saying an agreement was imminent
Adam Curry: this woman's a piece of work this is this is Oh man,
you know the hair, you know that the jacket she's wearing, you
know the jewel she's wearing. And she's Oh, she's a beat
Unknown: because I'm sure that in a few days, we will also have
the formal decision on the General Post on the on the
crisis proposal. And that is very much a welcome, welcome.
clash between Germany and Italy in talks stalled progress. One
sticking point was over the role of NGO charity ships conducting
migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean.
Adam Curry: So all you have to do is get on a rubber boat look
dangerous and then you send up the flare and work period comes
the NGO boat. Well, don't worry, we'll take you to safety
Unknown: chain VAs to lose Foreign Minister meeting his
German counterpart in Berlin spelled out Italian concerns.
Organizational motivation, nobody's waging a war against
NGOs. We only say however, they cannot be as frantic said sort
of magnet to attract irregular migrants irregular within let's
say, always brought to
the clock is ticking on sealing a deal that is vital to address
the migrant crisis in Europe. Officials say an agreement needs
to be in place by February, with the European elections due in
June. This was an estimated quarter of a million irregular
arrivals in the EU so far this year.
Adam Curry: So they have to get some kind of deal done before
the elections. Why? Because someone else comes in and then
they get the NGO money, as sounds very suspect. It's not
good.
John C Dvorak: It's interesting. These NGOs are the are the
subversive, modern version of subversive Marxist,
Adam Curry: not even so subversive. We just no one talks
about them that no one has given
John C Dvorak: them and then the government pays for it. Yeah. Be
like paying for your own demise. I mean, and I'm gonna hire a
hitman to go after me. And,
Adam Curry: and this stuff happens all over our own
country, where NGOs or nonprofits, you know,
advertising whatever you want to call it. They get money from,
from city governments, local municipalities, and they have no
incentive at all to solve problems. That's that's one of
Austin's big problems. We got homeless and I we need another
$600 million to solve that problem. They have and what do
they do with it? Oh, let's go buy hotels, let's stick them in
hotels, let's spend it on hotels. The hotel thing is
phenomenal. It's really I mean, this is. So now in Los Angeles,
even though it's not just irregular migrants, which I
think is a great term. The homeless, now Los Angeles has a
solution. They're not going to buy up hotels. No, no, no.
Here's the What is this outfit, the America the hotel and
accommodation organization, the LA chapter. They have not these
guys. But the city has a proposal what to do with
homeless and irregular migrants in Los Angeles. The fight that
we have in Los Angeles is one of the worst public policy ideas,
perhaps the worst public policy idea I've ever heard of. And
that is to take the homeless population that deserve a
serious solution to a serious problem. And try to patchwork
that problem by placing them in hotels alongside regular tours
to families and paying guests. This sounds great.
Unknown: And he's gonna tell us why it's great. It is a disaster
waiting to happen. It doesn't help the homeless. I love the
industry almost overnight. I mean, look, consumers have
choices. Look, they don't have to go to Los Angeles, they only
have to go to California, they can choose somewhere else. But
if they want to go to the LA area, they can simply choose a
hotel outside of Los Angeles. That's not that difficult. No
consumers can want to actively make a selection where they know
that a homeless population is going to be in the room right
next to them or at the swimming pool or in the in the lobby. I
mean, these are people this population that needs help. It
is a serious issue. They need medical professional help. hotel
workers are not trained for this and to put them in that type of
danger. It is a terrible idea. What we know for certain won't
work and should never even be proposed is this idea of mixing
that population with the regular traveler, the mom and dad that
are trying to kill For kids on vacation, right, terrible idea
that is dangerous for the guests, but more importantly
dangerous for the hotel workers that have to come to work each
and every day and try to deal with a situation for which
they've never been trained. Homelessness is a very serious
issue that we all believe should be dealt with in a serious
manner. This particular proposal is not serious. It's very
dangerous. We certainly want to make sure it stops here in Los
Angeles so that no other municipality in the country try
something that's dangerous.
Beyond your freedom
John C Dvorak: about how about making it a tourist attraction
kind of like us, you can live next to a homeless stay at the
Hilton
Adam Curry: at the swim with the homeless. It's like swimming
with Adult Swim with the homeless sickness lifts Swimming
with dolphins
John C Dvorak: poop in the halls.
Adam Curry: Speaking of poop in San Diego has a great idea.
Unknown: Many downtown public restrooms have been overwhelmed
by drug use people with mental illnesses and sanitary issues,
folks, especially families with young children don't feel
comfortable. And paying $15 for a 15 minute bathroom break makes
a lot of sense. Hundreds of people have been signing up for
the rest space app. Just as it starts to make a name for
itself. Posts make 70% of the fee and rest space takes 30
Adam Curry: So you can rent out your bathroom on an app.
John C Dvorak: Guys and
Adam Curry: people can poop in your house like
John C Dvorak: ride sharing. Shit sharing.
Adam Curry: It would have been a great show title if it wasn't.
Yeah, share, share your bathroom poop share. That's great. That
means someone's gonna have to at a certain point someone has to
say hey, I have a cause here my causes this has to stop. This
has to stop
John C Dvorak: to stop. It's not gonna stop
Adam Curry: boots on the ground. The Biden is in administration.
This is an ice boots on the ground has turned ice ready into
a travel agency. They stopped apprehending anyone because they
do what they're instructed to do, which was a lease and often
have to facilitate transportation to other states
as requested by the detained illegal. They've largely just
stopped working because they have no authority to go to North
Dakota to do anything to enforce immigration laws, even if they
are criminals. So ice is you know, we were talking about the
small town cop who couldn't even get ice on the phone just kept
getting voicemail because they can pay. They're getting paid to
sit at a desk, go to the gym, and just wait for the next
administration to come in which may or may not be better you
never know.
John C Dvorak: Well, it sounds like a people job. You're
looking for a job that's the place to work.
Adam Curry: Now, if you thought that was bad, the land of Abba,
the land of Spotify, the land of the Swedish Chef is falling
apart.

attacks. bombings and drive by shootings have claimed dozens of
lives in September alone two gangs one led by a Swedish
Turkish June national who lives in Turkey the other bias former
lieutenants are reportedly involved in the feud over drugs
and weapons.
Adam Curry: That is gang warfare now.
John C Dvorak: This gang warfare inserts right
Adam Curry: in Sweden. Well place doesn't sound right and
John C Dvorak: says all sounds sweet and come on mouth.
Adam Curry: South squeed. Malmo? Yeah, sure. Yeah. In New York
City, they almost had the right idea knows how we got all these
irregular migrants and I'm just making jokes about it. These of
course, are people. I mean, we can we can't stop seeing them as
human beings. They tried to wash them off the streets.
Unknown: It's a historic deluge in the New York City area, which
has drenched the locals. Heavy rainfall caused significant
disruption to communities public transport and flooded several
basements. As authorities scramble the downpour brought
back the memory of hurricane Ida, which dumped record
breaking rain on the northeast and killed at least 13 people in
the Big Apple in 2021.
Listen is not an ordinary rainfall. This is historic. We
are on track to possibly create a new record of 10 inches of
rain falling in literally 24 hours last time we even had this
number was in 1955 and that was over a two day periods.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. So what's what do we have climate
change in 1955?
John C Dvorak: Okay, so but now she's you look at the list. This
is like number nine on the list of rainfalls in one day in New
York and most of them took place in the year two, first decade of
2000 was a lot of stuff that goes beyond way back. Yeah. And
this is not that big of a deal. Although it happened it just the
way I hear it. I have two clips.
Adam Curry: Let me let me finish this. And because a resident
here tells you what the real problem is. And I've received
several
John C Dvorak: emails, they may have what I have a lot under
root
Adam Curry: now I'll just finish this this is not
Unknown: this is Hurricane Ida level water.
According to the weather and city officials by 2:30pm. local
time, as much as 15 centimeters of rain was recorded in several
areas, including Brooklyn, lower Manhattan and John F. Kennedy
International Airport, the city had been experiencing during the
week mostly steady rainfall, which triggered a flash flood in
the area. As the rain briefly slowed, residents emerge from
their homes to take stock of the damage and begin draining the
water.
They were coming from the ground, because there are no
drainage system from this location, all the rainwater,
they are not able to drain out from this area. So it's coming
into our house.
Adam Curry: Now. That's what the residents say you got no drains
work and the sewers aren't right. But that's not what the
news is, you know, we are really, really suffering.
Unknown: Systems producing more intense rainfalls have become
more commonplace in many parts of the United States due to the
climate crisis. Scientists say more extreme and intense weather
patterns are set to become the norm across the globe. As the
situation gets worse, yes, it's
Adam Curry: climate change, of course.
John C Dvorak: So this happened in 2011. It was the storm of the
century, it was the worst thing ever. And it did the exact same
thing in New York. And it was during our show, remember most
of these these stories, we have reliable events through 10s of
millions of dollars at fixing the infrastructure. And I know
what happened basic contractors say that was a once in a
lifetime thing. Nothing's going to happen again in our entire
lives. Let's just pocket the money and do nothing. I think
you're right. That's exactly what his only excuse because now
it does. Some of the pictures are fabulous. They have this one
shot of inside one of the subway stations and water squirting out
of those white tiles.
Adam Curry: This and this is not a new I mean, I used to live in
New York In New Jersey, we got flooding like this. We had the
subway stations flood I mean, it's I remember this.
John C Dvorak: So they they took the money and ran it. They did
nothing. And then everyone blamed great problems. Climate
change is the world's greatest, greatest excuse to do nothing
and I'm
Adam Curry: going to change my stance. Because climate change
is 100% manmade.
John C Dvorak: Yes, I know what you're saying. It's 100%
Adam Curry: manmade for sure. I'm all in.
John C Dvorak: And by that of course you mean that's been
created the whole idea of quote created the whole hoax. Yes. I
got two clips on these floods as New York City floods one.
Unknown: In New York City, up to five inches of rain fell in some
areas overnight into Friday following a week of steady
rainfall. A flash flood warning was in effect for the city until
midday and Mayor Eric Adams urged people to stay put if
possible.
I am issuing a state of emergency for New York City
based emergencies and want to say to a
Adam Curry: state of emergency. It's
John C Dvorak: not a state of emergency. It's a state of an
emergency. That's right. I'm the mayor.
Unknown: I am issuing a state of emergency for New York City.
Adam Curry: I mean, that alone is like don't you just think
okay, well, we're screwed. We're screwed
Unknown: based on the weather conditions. And I want to say to
all New Yorkers, this is time for heightened alertness and
extreme caution. If you are home stay home if you are at work or
school shelter in place.
Adam Curry: Shelter in Place
John C Dvorak: shelter in place if you're at school for how
long?
Unknown: The city reported no storm related deaths or critical
injuries as of Friday afternoon, but the floods caused major
disruptions to the city's subway system and the Metro North
commuter rail service. The rainfall also shut down
Manhattan's FDR Drive and delayed flights at LaGuardia
Airport
Adam Curry: it would have been funnier if he said shelter in
place and wear a mask that would have now that would have been
dynamite their significant
Unknown: portion To the subway system that are shut down. We
are starting the process of reactivating certain lines. But
when water covers the electrified third rail we have
to do inspections. Yeah. So that that will be unfolding slowly.
Adam Curry: Okay. The subway Yeah, no other great is a little
short with
Unknown: some 18 million people in the New York metropolitan
area and in other major cities along the east coast. We're
under flood warnings, watches and advisories. New York
Governor Kathy Hogle declared a state of emergency for New York
City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley.
John C Dvorak: So yeah, nobody died. It can't be that bad.
Adam Curry: No, dad. Yeah, I got a stepdaughter in Brooklyn.
She's not calling crime. Like, in bro. Brooklyn was supposed to
be one of the main places. But yeah, I mean, this is what
happens. And especially these airports, come on, look at the
location. Look at how they're set up.
John C Dvorak: Look at what they're built on a flood. Yeah,
exactly.
Adam Curry: Like, hello.
John C Dvorak: Yes, because it's a nice flat area. That's what
you do.
Adam Curry: Well, it's good communication mechanism, climate
change, climate change.
John C Dvorak: I do have some other kind of another clip about
New York. That is I think more interesting because I was
thinking about it. You bet you lived in New York. You've been
in New York. Everyone who's ever been in New York knows about
these garbage. piles of garbage on the street 24/7 Sure. Well,
they're going to finally decide to go to bins like every other
civilized part of the world
Adam Curry: like so we can have the bin police like in the in
the bin Belize and bullied because
John C Dvorak: of the rats. Yes, a rat Roush is New York City's
Unknown: now for a story about fighting an all too common urban
scourge rats. Decades New Yorkers thrown out their garbage
in plastic. Wait, is
Adam Curry: this that 342 person station WNYC in New York, is
that what I'm hearing here?
John C Dvorak: Well, it's it is a public it's public
broadcasting. So it could be bags on
Unknown: City sidewalks. They haven't used bins bins until
now. City officials are starting to require more hard sided trash
containers.
Adam Curry: Homosassa why are we in America using the term bins?
This is not an American word. We don't say dust bin was a trash
can I mean trash will
John C Dvorak: you know i Here's that I this is interesting as
you bring this up. This is classic news deconstruction
Adam Curry: There you go. Here we go standby everybody. So I've
got
John C Dvorak: bins in in the whole east Bay's because his
waste management companies generally runs most of it. Yeah,
the most of they have these bins in the big garbage trucks come
by they grab the bins with the big cook and they pull it over
and dump it in. And these things cans to me because we used to
have garbage cans was in memory. The garbage cans is a big
galvanized can't like a giant can with a lid tightly fits.
Right and I think the square buildings bins that have a flip
lid that get dumped into the truck is a bin I think I've
always thought of it as a bin but you're right it and it's not
a can. We don't have to be made out of metal.
Adam Curry: But we don't typically talk about bins in
America bins is a UK thing. I know. Yeah. You're
John C Dvorak: right by the word
Adam Curry: being just, it's okay.
John C Dvorak: It's not going to vote into the vocabulary. It
doesn't we can do about it.
Adam Curry: But here in Texas, we will not say Ben Oh, you
don't say bins. Bins though. We know No. That's trash cans trash
bucket. I don't say anything but bins. We don't talk about bins.
Unknown: They haven't used bins names. Until now. City officials
are starting to require more hard sided trash containers.
That is Austin cope reports. They hope it will slow the
city's growing rat population.
It's a Friday night men hang out and Michelle and I are standing
in front of a row of apartments with a big stack of black trash
bags out in front. You can hear a few very faint high pitched
squeaks in the background.
Right now we see just a bunch of garbage that's out there. And we
see we hear rats actually making noise. Saying hey, we'd been on
the radio to hip hop, they're actually not quite close enough
to the mic. They make a lot of loads, which is very scary
because if you walk down the block, you never know they're
running right across your foot. Who wants to get bit by a rat.
But what does that have to do with the trash bags?
A lot because they are inside those bags. They are you scared
to walk by because they are in there eating whatever's inside
the bags.
So what would you do if you were walking by these bags right now
across the street?
Adam Curry: Who is this expert this expert on rats that they're
talking to?
John C Dvorak: Like the expert you had in the last couple of
clips? This guy's like that Mexican guy
Adam Curry: I'm an expert on rats you know you got garbage
you get rat out well
Unknown: industrially I do I walk in the street really you
know, but then you don't want to cross over to the other side
because these bags on the other side too.
This is exactly the kind of thing officials here hoping to
solve. New Yorkers put out around 44 million pounds of
trash each day. Since the late 60s Most of it has gone right
under City Sidewalks like this one. New Yorker ocean Thomas
says it's no wonder there's so many routes
when you visit other towns right you one of the first things you
notice being a native New Yorker is that while these tunnels are
so clean, and it doesn't stink, and the thing that stands out
the most is that one, the trash is not all over the place. And
if it is trash cans that are out there contained.
Now the city started making people put their waste in bins.
Adam Curry: Now when I first moved to New York City that was
before we had bins bins yet no but no bins. Yeah, and the trash
was just outside. You know that picked it up at night VP to come
the trucks waste, man. Yeah, the guys from New Jersey, the
sopranos would pick it up. But this was 1987 and New York was a
craphole. And we had rats, big ones. And you see us walk down
the street. Columbus, rats, no.
John C Dvorak: Large cat sized rat
Adam Curry: in New York. New York was in severe decline at
the time you need. This is I gotta say it before Giuliani
came in with Mayor Bratton. He cleaned up the crime. Police
Chief Bratton clean up the crime and clean up the city. And so
this may be peak rat. And I don't know you have another
clip. So I'm presuming you've got more rat more
John C Dvorak: on a rat rat for
Unknown: the past couple of months. Large businesses have to
do it in 30, restaurants, grocery stores and other places
that serve food. next March. All businesses will have to private
residents don't yet but officials say more rules are on
the way. Finding where to put all this garbage isn't
necessarily easy. Victor Edwards lives in a neighborhood where
the city is testing out new containers in the streets.
Adam Curry: We put the garbage where we always put the garbage
Staten Island Hello
Unknown: Victor Edwards lives in a neighborhood where the city is
testing out new containers in the street.
If you look across the street, where cars are parked, you will
see that it takes up approximately four parking
spaces.
Edwards leads a community board that represents residents
opinions, he hopes the city can plan for more than just the
past.
We definitely want to get rid of rats. I'm not saying I want to
live with rats. But by the same token, I want to take in
consideration all the other factors physically challenged
people who have to carry these bags now and lift them up and
put them in seniors the same thing and then pocking.
Officials hope to balance out larger bins in the street with
smaller ones on the sidewalk. But they say there'll be some
trade offs. Daniel Mills lives in the Bronx and owns a car.
She's okay with containers industry since sometimes people
just throw their trash they're
taking up parking anyway. So I would prefer the bins to be
there in I don't have a problem with sacrifice some parking.
Some make sure that you know we keep in the streets clean and
cleared from garbage
and for Tamika Jordan, it really gets back to the rodents.
No one wants to little Mickey Mouse in that and now I'm very
afraid of that rat.
She hasn't had any at her place, but she's seen some near where
she works. So it was more bins go in cheese. Glad the rats will
have a harder time reaching their next meal.
Adam Curry: Okay, I'm just thinking about this logically, I
living in New York. Do you know how many bins you need on the
street to
John C Dvorak: a whole stop 42 million pounds of garbage a day?
Let me think
Adam Curry: how many bins does that make
John C Dvorak: lots of bins have been businesses is a day makes
these bins and you've been invest?
Adam Curry: Or do what European countries have done. Like
Rotterdam they went underground. So you go outside and there's a
shoot me you you drop your bags down the chute they go they go.
That's a big hole. But it's you know, you don't see it on the
top, just the entrance. But if you threw a body in there, oh
yeah, it'd be fine. And then the truck comes by and it has its
own. And it pulls this whole huge thing out of the ground and
dumps it into the truck. That's the way to go. Except, you know,
if you drill down in New York City, you know the roads will be
faldo's When you're gonna hit. Now this of course, is one of
the big problems with our pollution is a waste and the
waste is plastic. Plastic takes up a lot of space, then, you
know, we're just going to replace it with more plastic
bins. But luckily, scientists scientists
John C Dvorak: have chopped the bins up for plastic scientists
Adam Curry: have a solution for plastic. And I'm very excited
about this. This is a new ecological breakthrough
Unknown: plastic pollution is a looming global crisis. The world
now produces more than 380 million tons of it every year,
and a man projected to triple by 26 Steel. At a glance this looks
like your regular vanilla ice cream. But the desert is the
first of its kind in the world is derived from plastic waste.
The process is developed by scientists in Edinburgh and
harnesses the power of bacteria and enzymes to break down the
plastics polymers. No longer plastic. The PTS are then
processed by another bacteria to turn it into vanillin. The
design is the idea was born from frustration about the failure of
the recycling system, and how it cannot keep up with plastic
production. But scientists say the ice cream very much remains
a research project aren't quite ready for consumption work, but
rather a starting point to rethink the way we approach
plastic waste.
Perhaps misconception around what it actually is by the end
of the process that is no longer plastic. But I think it's part
of that we it is really important that we take the
safety side of it really, really seriously and we make it very
clear that this has to go through processes and food
standard processes as any other food ingredient.
Adam Curry: It'll be safe and effective. Don't worry, it's all
good.
John C Dvorak: safe and effective. Recycle Plastic
Minella
Adam Curry: but they give you enzyme so so you can dissolve
it. Yeah, electrolytes.
Now, you may be New York City is bad. But that's nothing compared
to France right now. And we know that France is under attack. We
know McCrone is under attack, the French are not playing game
not playing ball. They got too many nuclear plants. You know,
they just pains in the asses. The EU doesn't like him. They're
tired of them. So let's give him something to really really think
about
Unknown: the French government taking the extraordinary step
today of rolling out a national plan to stop an invasion and
invasion of what appears to be bedbugs infesting the country.
John C Dvorak: By story again, oh, this
Adam Curry: is bad just
Unknown: months before they're supposed to host the Olympics.
And these bugs are not just in their namesake beds. They're in
trains in movie theaters. Out there in the big airport in
Paris. Look at this, you can see here what looks to be a bedbug
crawling along the armrest of one of the high speed trains in
France. You can imagine people are just thrilled to see it.
They love it. They do not
stress me out because this morning, I had to take the train
and I wondered whether I would find some. So I felt a bit
hesitant. But at the same time, I know there are some also in
cinemas and somewhat everywhere. So I paid close attention when
stepping on the train and look to see if there are any crawlers
on my seat. That's
Josh Letterman, I'm just going to tell you, I don't know if I'm
moving through this like it is I mean, this is an infestation so
bad that the French government is stepping in to fight this
battle. Like what is the plan here?
I'm so glad that we're talking about this on a Friday night,
Holly, I'm never gonna be able to fall asleep tonight. So thank
you so much for that. But seriously, this is a crisis for
government because this is the kind of thing that normally
households deal with at the family level. It's not the kind
of thing that governments are used to dealing with. And so
they really have to figure out quickly how to get their hands
around this. And they're focusing first off on the
transportation system, because that's really where you have
high density of people, heavily trafficked areas where this kind
of thing can really start to spread very quickly.
Adam Curry: I think this is sabotage. Because it didn't
start like in New York, really. In New York. They had no hotel
bedbug problem we reported on that years ago, this year,
John C Dvorak: you know, that was that was the entire country.
There was problems in in San Francisco. They also talked
about bedbugs in the theater. He was measured major stories we
have Yes, still in the archives. I maybe dig some up for the next
show. Talking about the bed bugs bed baths. All they talked
about. Well, no,
Adam Curry: it's Democrat cities is what you're saying. That's
what I'm hearing here. But you are right. The theaters. This is
sabotage and it started in the theaters.
Unknown: UGC cinemas had initially ignored reports of
bedbugs. However, it made a U turn after customers threatened
to boycott its cinema halls. The chain has admitted that bedbugs
are present in at least some of its cinemas it published a
statement saying that it was sincerely sorry for all the
victims of bedbug bites. However, the cinema says that
there are no grounds for compensating victims. The
statement further underlines that this couch of bedbox
concerns all public places, along with private homes in
France that bugs have been discovered this year in
theaters, hospitals and prisons in front of prisons. They were
also found in the merciless underground network. A recent
report by the French government said that bedbugs had spread to
about 11% of Friends households, and we're causing sleep loss,
mental health problems and absenteeism.
Adam Curry: This is this is going to bring down their
economy.
John C Dvorak: If they keep promoting it, I mean bedbugs are
frogs. bedbugs are not hard to stop bentonite and the spread
around households on corners and stuff till they can dig kills
them all because they can't walk across it. And then if you own
the theater, why wouldn't you have already sprayed it for with
Malla thigh on a number of times you get any kind of critter out
of there and nobody's gonna know I don't know it's not gonna
poison this whole thing. You're right. This is some sort of a
setup is being done for a reason by someone. Well, the Olympics
Adam Curry: the Olympics was the key part in the first report.
The Olympics are just months away. And it's in France, Paris,
I think.
John C Dvorak: Paris in Paris. Yeah, this is done this is some
sort of program
Adam Curry: if can you imagine you have the Olympics you put
you spend hundreds of billions of euros on setting up your
venues and getting everybody ready and the whole world goes?
Nope, not gonna go to bed bugs. I'm not gonna Hey, they could
turn them into a snack.
John C Dvorak: Take too many of them. I guess if he had a kind
of maybe a like a popsicle stick coated and honey and then you
roll the bed bugs on him. So he eat like, you know, get to eat a
lot at once. I wonder if if they're edible? If it did then
dip it in chocolate. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Nice.
John C Dvorak: There's something up with this. Yeah, I agree. It
is like an extortion plot to some sort. Somebody did this.
They don't
Adam Curry: like McCrone I mean, and I think you know, of all the
problems in France. This could get the French mad enough to
kick them out. All right, we're sticky. And now we got bedbugs.
We got irregular migrants. Bedbugs
John C Dvorak: lost our ass on the Olympics, which they always
do. Anyway, every
Adam Curry: country. Every country loses loses out on
that's never good. It's never good.
John C Dvorak: Yes. Amazing. They get suckered into doing it
time. And again, there's got to be unbelievable amounts of
bribery involved in the Olympic program system.
Adam Curry: So here's the question because it doesn't make
any sense. And you know, you predicted something else would
happen. I'm not blaming you. I'm not calling you out, but we were
in Houston. Gas was 279 I'm sorry, 379 379 for gas and here.
We're in in Fredericksburg. We're paying for 6470 but
California
Unknown: residents of California they are already feeling the
squeeze gas prices, causing major pain at the pump. ABCs
Derek Dennis joins us now with some efforts to change that.
Derrick. Good morning. We're talking over $8
A gallon absolutely just $8 a gallon for regular unleaded.
That's the staggering price in some areas of California. And
drivers are frustrated parking their cars are feeling forced to
just pay up the national average about 382 A gallon California's
average more than six bucks a gallon if you're lucky, but
topping $8 A gallon if you're not prices up 80 cents across
California in just the last month. And here's why gas prices
are tied to the global oil market where it's all about
supply and demand. oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia have
been cutting back on supply driving up oil prices. So what's
being done? Governor Gavin Newsom approving a short term
fix transitioning the state to using a cheaper winter blend of
fuel while Republicans want to suspend the state's gas tax
saving 58 cents on the gallon.
Adam Curry: Now you know a lot about this stuff. You know a lot
about the winter blends, you know a lot about the oil and gas
industry in general, what is going on? Why is Why is oil so
expensive? And is even that expensive? Is it 90? It's
John C Dvorak: it's 90 but which you know it doesn't mean it
should be 750 A gallon around my area 650 which is
Adam Curry: too high. Yes, really high.
John C Dvorak: But I think it's a gouge being done. I think it's
somehow being orchestrated. And I think it all has to do with
trying to get Biden out.
Adam Curry: Well, this was a very interesting report that I
heard this, what you're saying there may be true listen to this
Unknown: report from the California Division of petroleum
market oversight. They found an unusual spot market transaction
that led to gas prices skyrocketing.
And we know that 50 cents of it was as a direct result of one
spot market transaction.
Is it the oil companies in the refineries? Do we miss that one
single transaction or whatever you don't know. State
Representative Mike Levin sent a letter to the Federal Trade
Commission, asking them to investigate the transaction
because we're fed up with these oil companies and market
manipulation Shouldn't and price gouging and we need for the
Federal Trade Commission to work with the state of California to
investigate, get to the bottom of it and hold those to account
Adam Curry: if anything is going wrong. So a spot trade so
someone did a trade which had some bogus bogus price in there.
Yeah, that'll do it.
John C Dvorak: Well, for short term it will to enough to get
everyone hooked. But there's something up with this. Some of
the stuff going on with getting getting rid of Biden, I've
noticed this in the clips on this. I have. I do have a couple
I do want to play some Biden clips. So he was in California.
Yeah, you have a clip you have a special clip we've been holding
on to I do you do. You have the Biden clip about him and LL
Cool. llj.
Adam Curry: Oh, I
John C Dvorak: we played it after the show. You didn't play
it on the show.
Adam Curry: I also didn't. I didn't clip it. I played it to
me. I played it from the YouTube I think,
John C Dvorak: Oh, well. Let's play Biden in California.
mumbling
Unknown: President Biden visits California for a two day trip.
He attended several private fundraisers in the San Francisco
Bay Area on Tuesday evening, before making his way down the
peninsula on Wednesday.
We're in a situation where we used to have a significant
portion of our GDP going into research and development. And it
got down to point 7% from 2%.
Biden's remarks came as he met with the President's Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology. His speakers said
they will report on recommendations on medical
patient safety and experience as well as possibilities and risks
of artificial intelligence. They want to use it to predict
weather extremes as climate change. Oh, read materials and
understand the origins of the universe.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute. We need AI now to to validate this
stuff that has been going on.
Unknown: Biden's visit and fundraiser events come as
Congress continues to grapple with an impending government
shutdown on October 1. Both houses are unable to agree on
budget bills. But Biden told reporters during his California
visit, I don't think anything's
inevitable in politics, and I'll just say if we have a government
shutdown, a lot of vital work in science and health could be
impacted from cancer research to food safety. Shut up.
John C Dvorak: I clipped a sub clip of weary mum telling me
what he says here.
Unknown: I don't think anything's inevitable. I can
hear it
Adam Curry: he says I don't think anything's inevitable. And
and that's true. I have the clip of the clip during the
Congressional Black Caucus Phoenix awards, talking about
two of
Unknown: the great artists of our time representing the
groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America. lol Jake Cool J by
the way, that boys got he got man's got biceps bigger than my
size. I think that boy boy,
Adam Curry: boy, boy, oh boy. All right, Joe, he's got bicep,
you know, he's bred that way. They make him like that on the
on the cotton farms. Isn't that exactly what he sounds like?
Yeah,
John C Dvorak: that's exactly it.
Adam Curry: You know? Newsom, I'm gonna see if I have this
year. Newsom who is he's you know, he's making moves. Newsom
is making moves. He's trying he's so they raise the minimum
wage for fast food workers in California. Now, here's here's a
quick clip,
Unknown: California is raising the minimum wage for fast food
workers, they'll soon be paid $20 an hour, the highest minimum
wage in the country. The governor says the increase
acknowledges that many fast food workers are their family's
primary breadwinners.
There's a lot of mythology about fast food. You know, Johnny used
to learn the value of hard work. You know, he'd work a few hours
in his first job. That's not the case, folks, that's a
romanticized version of a world that doesn't exist. We have the
opportunity to reward that contribution reward that
sacrifice and stabilize an industry.
About half a million workers will be affected by the
increase. Critics say the wage hike will place a bigger burden
on both businesses and consumers
Adam Curry: to know I'm watching this take place. I'm watching
this Newsom announced this and this has nothing to do this was
a reparations move. It was like it was literally like Newsom is
saying I'm giving you reparations and it was received
that way.
Unknown: A victory for hundreds of 1000s of people across the
state of California.
Please listen Tom Mountain.
For some, the new bill which raises the minimum wage for fast
food workers to $20 per hour feels like writing a historic
wrong.
This is for my grandmother, my great grandmother, Johnny T goes
my grandmother Bobby pigment. And for my children, this is for
my ancestors. This is for all the farm workers. All the cotton
pickers.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said the bill is a recognition
of the fact that a majority of fast food workers are
breadwinners.
80% of the workforce force, these fast food places 80% of
people of color, two thirds, two thirds are women. We have the
opportunity to reward that contribution reward that
sacrifice and stabilize an industry in turn.
Adam Curry: I mean, come on
John C Dvorak: the standard. Interesting that was not played
up here at all.
Adam Curry: This was France 24. That's where it came from. All
the cotton pickers, my ancestors, what were your
ancestors
John C Dvorak: working at working at McDonald's flipping
burgers is is a reparation for Cotton Pickin.
Adam Curry: That's Yes.
John C Dvorak: And that was off. That was a good one.
Adam Curry: But listen, listen, because there was a quid pro
quo. There's more there is there's a quid pro quo. What a
remarkable moment.
Unknown: labor and business groups negotiated long and hard
over the deal. And exchange Union's agreed to drop their
efforts to make fast food corporations liable for the
misdeeds of their independent franchise operators in
California.
Adam Curry: See, the so
John C Dvorak: McDonald's they got out of what scam was going
on. And what was that all about? I think McDonald's
Adam Curry: was underpaid. And all the other ones, I'll just
use McDonald's, we're under pressure for the misdeeds of the
franchisees. So if the franchisee was underpaying a
black person, we're gonna go
John C Dvorak: after the pockets of the corporate Yes. And so now
the state said, Nope, can't do that. Exactly. They sewed up
some deep pockets is what they did good work. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, the whole thing is a scam.
Adam Curry: You can't just brush it off like that. Just say the
whole thing's a scam. Well, that's your can. Well, okay,
then while we're on this, let him by the way,
John C Dvorak: stop for a second. Yes, I'm sorry, we'll
back up. Because you kind of glossed it over your shot
through it like, you know, like, punch through a duck. Yeah, you
were condemning me for the fact that I had predicted that after
the dip holiday that the gas prices would drop like a rock,
which they normally do, and they didn't. So I was wrong. I think
you've admitted that more than once already.
Adam Curry: But I didn't say it to say you're wrong. It's like
this is different because you typically are correct in these
matters. So something else happened. And that's
John C Dvorak: good find that there's something else which we
haven't gotten to the bottom.
Adam Curry: Oh, no. But you're saying it's Biden thing is to
get this to
John C Dvorak: get rid of Biden. I'm seeing more and more of
these little idiosyncratic, small little touches here in
there at all looks like I've anti Biden stuff, I think. And
this latest thing with the impeachment inquiries, and some
of the new stuff coming out. It's pretty damning. And they
don't know what to do about except, oh, no, there's no
evidence. That's not working. Now, before
Adam Curry: we go there. You know, what are
John C Dvorak: we gonna wait on that?
Adam Curry: You know what I'm missing? Dianne Feinstein. So
she passes away. And the only thing that I'm seeing is Oh,
yeah, it was Newsom gonna replace it with it. We're gonna
do but, but where are the retrospectives of her life? I
mean, I'm sure her politics may not have been an agreement with
mine. But she was a force to be reckoned with. She wasn't she
Mayor of San Francisco. She was cute when she was young. If you
look at the pictures, he was cute. Yeah, she was cute, good
looking woman. She had an amazing career. Shouldn't they
have this on the shelf? Shouldn't they have been ready
to like, honor her? Have you seen anything of this of this
sort?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, a couple of things here and there. And
they're minor, or there weren't there weren't the big deals.
They made mostly tests. Mostly what I've seen is testimonials.
Run right. Oh, she was a great gal. And she was like our friend
you know, she'd come over to dinner once in a while when she
was in town with her husband. You know, that kind of thing. I
just find that any questions. You know, we should just the
retrospective should have we should have put one together
about her and the fact that she was an apologist for the Chinese
government and current government trade. She made
millions and millions of dollars I'm Dan shot after China's
Chinese back that she had a chauffeur who was a Chinese spy.
Adam Curry: This is my favorite. These are old clips from, let me
say this is from 2019.
Unknown: This letter together in front of Feinstein, we're asking
her to vote on the deal. We are trying to ask you to vote yes.
On the Green New Deal.
Adam Curry: Remember when the kids came into your office? And
like, yeah, we want you to vote yes. On the Green New Deal.
Scientists
Unknown: said that we have 12 years to turn this around. Well,
it's not gonna get turned around.
We can do.
Around in 10 years, you're looking at the faces of the
people who are going to be living with
Adam Curry: the kids are pleading please Senator
Feinstein, please save our souls.
Unknown: I was elected by almost a million vote plurality. And I
know what I'm doing. So maybe people should listen a little
bit.
I hear what you're saying. But we're the people who voted you.
You're supposed to listen to us. Oh, there are a bunch of kids.
16.
John C Dvorak: By the way, stop.
Adam Curry: She literally says that you stepped on it. But
John C Dvorak: well, okay, we're gonna go back. But she said,
Because you're gonna go back to play this again. Were the people
that voted, you know, that's what the teacher says.
Unknown: You're saying, but where's the people who voted
you?
Adam Curry: That's a 16 year old,
Unknown: you're supposed to listen to us. That's your old
16. If you didn't
vote for something,
we're gonna be the one who's impacted for you.
I have seven grandchildren. Now. I understand it very well,
Senator, the cost of not taking this action is far higher than
the cost of what the green New Deal will be. And there is
enormous popularity for this bill around the whole country
here. And we're asking you to do this for us and for your
grandchildren. And the
Adam Curry: thing is, they did it we got the green New Deal is
called the the investment, the inflation Reduction Act. The
Green New Deal, just it made inflation worse. It made
inflation worse and it hasn't done anything. And here is our
favorite no agenda soundbite and her head is gone. That's the
Diane we know and her head is gone. That's the that's the one
we all know and love. That's the Diane we want a retrospective
of.
John C Dvorak: No, you're not gonna get it. Okay. But yeah,
she was the big pro Chinese. She was also the one that was spied
upon by the CIA directly, even though she at the time was the
head of the Senate Intelligence Committee. And she got all bent
out of shape about it, because she found out if you remember,
this is during that era, where there were there were they had
the torture report that they wouldn't release and she wanted
it released. And and so then they decide, just as a
retrospect, she wanted it released, they wouldn't release
the torture report. And they said, Okay, well put the torture
report in one of those close skiffs or whatever they are.
And, and people can go in and look at it if they want to read
it if they're members of the committee. And so then that's
when the Republicans turned it over and got the Senate back in
the day, got the Senate back. And this guy, I think his name
was burns or whatever his name was the guy who was the head of
or maybe was the Republican head of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, and he said, I don't want to look at it. Yeah. And he
refused to look at it. Because he's a guest you know, what the
CIA told them not to because it was like restricted isn't that
whatever the case This is pathetic. This whole situation
this government of ours,
Adam Curry: well gets better. The F 35 op, which I call them
up I said it resembled Top Gun to so closely, work crews at
Jax. It's a weird thing, just like the 911 call of this top
pilot. And, and then the next scene is Ed Harris saying son,
Maverick. Yeah, a year old this year out. There's not going to
you know, you're you're not, you're yesterday's news. We're
working on planes that don't need pilots. Well, wouldn't, you
know, not even 18 hours after we we played that clip and
discussed it. Here is a video brand new brand new on the
YouTubes from the Air Force Research Labs.
Unknown: Our senior leaders have been clear and direct in saying
we're dealing with new technology and we're dealing
with a new threat. We need to go fast in determining competitive
advantage of autonomy and how to ultimately operationalize
autonomy for the warfighter.
We are trying to figure out how to integrate artificially
trained neural net works trained in a simulation, how to
integrate those into the real world. In this case integrated
into controlling an airplane.
We need to recognize that AI is here. It's here to stay. It's a
powerful tool, collaborative combat aircraft. And that type
of autonomy is revolutionary and will be the future battle space.
Yeah, final
Adam Curry: space. battle space autonomous planes in the future
battle space. So we have boots on the ground in the Yes.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Oh, we have boots. You gotta note, yeah, we
had
Adam Curry: the boots on the ground, the Air Force Research
Laboratory, but I'm not going to and we got a lot more than we
can discuss. In the Systems Directorate, dealing
specifically with autonomy and air systems. Yes, the military
wants to sell flying planes. But it's going to take many, many
years because every single one of these this is our government.
This is our military industrial complex. They want this but oh,
we can't make that happen fast. Because every single one of the
systems are made of different solutions that have developed
been developed by different directorates reach different
contractors. And on different stages of completion. There's no
agreed upon spec for interface or communication between any of
the systems. So it's, it's a boondoggle. But they created a
cool video. Get everybody all excited about
John C Dvorak: boondoggle isn't boondoggle.
Adam Curry: It is a super loss
John C Dvorak: because you don't have people with technical
enough skills at the top that can say, hey, no, you got to do
it this way. No, we can't have these. No, just develop No, just
a classical just No, it'd be great. But the classic trick
would be IBM has technique of doing to no more than two
parallel developments and then picking one they would do just
says how the PC came about,
Adam Curry: please. Oh, is that that's how the PC came about.
Yeah. You call me a Luddite the other day on the show?
John C Dvorak: Oh, does that finally gotten to you remember?
Adam Curry: Well, I heard it, but then I was like, Chet GPT.
What does it look like? What does a Luddite and this stems
from? The textile area era,
John C Dvorak: the Jacquard weave the lace frames, I guess.
Yeah, it's
Adam Curry: right. Where to bring it in the the or the the
automated looms? Is that what you'd call them?
John C Dvorak: Jack card, I believe this sort of, and
product
Adam Curry: to kids arms were getting chopped off and stuff.
Were working in there. And it was, you know, so they say, they
went in and they and they busted up all of the machines.
John C Dvorak: They broke them threw a wrench in the works.
Adam Curry: As always that where that comes from a wrench in the
works, I believe. So. The Luddites? Yeah, yeah, these
John C Dvorak: people are called I don't know where the word
Luddite stems from some guy named John lead or something.
I'm not sure. But I don't remember. I didn't look it up.
But yeah, there's there are people that will generally push
back there are people that put appeal that push back against
what was going on, and I think they were justified, you should
have taken it as a compliment.
Adam Curry: I do now now that I've seen it, by the way while I
was looking around. Do you know what the word algorithm comes
from?
John C Dvorak: No, I don't to say that. No,
Adam Curry: it is. It is a word that was shaped after a Persian
mathematician who first came up with the idea of these rules
based mathematics. And his name sounds like algorithms like aka
dragonrider or something like that. But then when I'm messing
around, I look up algos. The Greek word for algos. He's
literally pain and suffering. I thought that was that is
interesting, kind of poetic. You know, that's kind
John C Dvorak: of our show in a nutshell.
Adam Curry: Pain and suffering. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Danny will talk about pain and suffering. Yes.
Nice transit. I have some clips on there. RFK Jr. Up. Oh, I
Adam Curry: have an email.
John C Dvorak: Oh, well, I wonder if the clip should be
like the two clips would go and then the email. Yeah, sure.
Let's do this. It's a three parter. It's actually two parter
plus a kicker. The kicker is only seven seconds. But there's
two partners. But he's opened up a headquarters and he's getting
taking it very seriously. And he's, I think they've stayed. I
think we're at the beginning of stage two
Unknown: RFK Jr. His campaign appears to be gaining momentum
his team just open up a new headquarters in New Jersey.
There the presidential candidate explained to him he'll help
Americans and quote, drain the swamp. And it is Jason Perry
attended the grand opening.
I believe President Trump wanted to drain this off, but he just
didn't know how I know how to do it.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Democratic presidential candidates spoke at
his newly opened campaign office in Elizabeth, New Jersey. And he
said this about Trump
and he appointed Scott Gottlieb, Pfizer's partner business
partner to run the FDA and Godley went in there and did an
$88 billion favor from Pfizer. The joint
board then RFK Jr, explained how he knows how to, quote drain the
swamp.
Companies I've seen all of these agents do, FCC, USDA, EPA, NIH,
CDC, FDA, and when you sue them
corporate capture is a term which refers to regulatory
agencies being dominated or influenced by the industries
they are supposed to regulate. And he explained how the
relationship between the US military and the defense
industry also known as the military industrial complex has
affected average Americans.
Adam Curry: Wow, what station called it the military
industrial complex. What station was that? And TD Oh, okay. No
wonder as I said, No, no American station would do that.
John C Dvorak: No, you can't anymore. So he's got the he's,
he's, I thought it was interesting that what he's doing
is he's stealing Trump's thunder for drain the swamp. Yeah.
Saying that. I you know, it's a great idea. But Trump couldn't
do it. I can, which is another words he's got no, Trump's no
good. And then he then he has some comment about Gottlieb how
Trump got suckered the way he isn't. It's implied that he got
suckered into putting this guy into this the head of the CDC or
whatever it was time of. Or FDA can't remember FDA. But yeah,
FDA. And then so he's, he's, he's so interesting. He's, he's
complimenting Trump for the ideas. But he can't impeach.
He's not no good at implementation. We're as I am,
because that's what I've been doing as a lawyer. Very
interesting trick, which is well thought out, it's to
Adam Curry: me fits right in with the idea Trump wins.
Kennedy becomes Attorney General.
John C Dvorak: That I can't put it I have no evidence that
you're wrong at all, so I can't argue against you. Part Two.
Unknown: He also highlighted the war in Ukraine, noting that by
March of this year, the US had approved $113 billion in aid to
Ukraine.
And that's the way we cut Medicare in this country. By we
took the 30 million people who 15 million people from Medicare
and we cut 30 million people 30 million Americans food stamps
from $283 a month to $23 a month, drive at yourself on $23
a month.
Kennedy also pointed out in that same month, the government
provided a $300 billion bailout to banks. And then he explained
what he's going to do for Americans. And given that over
the past two years, housing prices have gone up
significantly. And mortgage interest rates have more than
doubled from about 3% to 7%.
We kicked off great prosperity in this country that 50 years
and you know economists and social scientists, when we
became the richest country on Earth. We started with a housing
boom. As soon as I get into office under launch another
housing boom, I'm going to issue a new class of mortgages or for
3%. I'm going to finance that by selling treasury bills and 3%.
Tax Free market will pay for
the Senate. He just laid out his economic plan here in his newly
opened New Jersey campaign headquarters, and he stayed
after his speech to take selfies with everyone.
Adam Curry: I don't like his plan. It doesn't sound good.
John C Dvorak: But then something good about it. He says
Adam Curry: he's going to sell bonds at 3% which is kind of
below every other bond.
John C Dvorak: Tax Free those big difference is
Adam Curry: and he's going to create loans at a 3% rate.
John C Dvorak: Which it just was a few years ago by itself.
Adam Curry: Right and what I mean, why don't we stop? We put
a cap on
John C Dvorak: the price controls
Adam Curry: on price controls. Yes. Do you think it's a good
idea? I'm asking.
John C Dvorak: I don't know if it's a good idea or not, I
haven't looked really tried to figure it out whether it is not
like the market doing its own thing personally. Yeah. But the,
the OP is complete, because now we know NTDs may talk about
regulatory cap capture. This is a little sub clip here, a little
clip at the end. Tell me NTDs not in on the OP.
Unknown: If you want to watch Kennedy's full speech, you can
visit mtv.com. some very sad news, New Jersey. This is in di
D.
John C Dvorak: There the front, the front news organization for
the opp. That will keep an eye on
Adam Curry: that someone's got to do it. So somehow I wound up
on the email list for all the Zoom calls of Kennedy. What is
it? It's called? People for Kennedy. So this is his ground
game.
John C Dvorak: Wonder how you got on that list? I didn't get
on it.
Adam Curry: And it's you know, they're very, yeah, exactly.
They want to put you on it. And here's the latest to the
fearless believers, passionate, changemakers and motivated
citizens who make up people for Kennedy, while we get placed our
outreach on a bit of a hold as we were waiting for our
candidate and the campaign to make some critical decisions. It
looks like planning behind the scenes for an independent run
was the exact right call. Yes. Our people for Kennedy
leadership team has been busy behind the scenes preparing for
the independent run. And there's a call today for pm Pacific.
John C Dvorak: Now, do we know that this is official? Or is
this off the books? Is this Kennedy has anything to do with
this? Do we know?
Adam Curry: We don't know. But there's a lot of people who
apparently are on these calls. And and you know, I I think
there's still a flair for the DNC saying hey, you know, I'm
pretty serious about this independent, independent party.
If you don't let me in if you don't, don't play fair with me.
This may be a last ditch, you know, like last last call, like
come on.
John C Dvorak: I don't think it's the last call. But
definitely a shot across the bow.
Adam Curry: Well, they're saying that it's coming a week earlier
than they thought it would be. People, people for Kennedy make
people for kennedy.com number for him. You see people number
four kennedy.com. They must be just a bunch of groupies. I'm
not sure
John C Dvorak: it could be the Republicans who knows.
Adam Curry: Speaking of. So, while I don't I really don't
know what's happening while Kennedy is doing that, saying
I'm gonna take down I'm gonna sue the CDC and FDA and the EPA
and the FBI and I'm going to restructure the CIA. Here's
Trump, here's Trump and California at the GOP convention
Unknown: and we will immediately stop all of the pillaging and
theft very simply. If you rob a store, you can fully expect to
be shot as you are leaving that shot.
Adam Curry: What is this? Why is he doing this? I mean to genius.
John C Dvorak: Do you think that's he's got a lot of
attention from everybody and their sister and got a big round
of applause at the convention. And it's it's it's funny.
Adam Curry: Unless you're the one stealing
John C Dvorak: well, don't steal you only get shot. Yeah, but
that's
Adam Curry: when they when the people were the umbrellas during
the George Floyd Gambit when they broke the windows on all
the stores. That's what kicked it off. I met I talked to moe
about this. He says this is not going to this is not going to
subside. It's only going to get worse. only going to get worse.
Me You see Philadelphia earlier in the week. Yeah, I mean that
was a mess. Yeah, the looting. And it was for another another
person shot. And then you know this instantly using
John C Dvorak: any excuse, instigators there's all kinds
Adam Curry: of stuff going on. This was this was something from
Trump's speech I thought was quite funny. It take
Unknown: you to shower they're told to hurry up you're only
allowed a small amount of water when they take issue. That's why
rich people from Beverly Hills generally speaking don't smell
so good. Typically, never notice inadequate. Their hygiene is not
Good, but it's forced to be that way. So when you meet somebody
with a beautiful house in Beverly Hills, you know, that
person is sort of disgusting under
Adam Curry: that I like that's, that's
John C Dvorak: developing and that's that's a rewrite of his
old material about the not enough water comes out you can't
wet your hair.
Adam Curry: But what's interesting is it actually falls
into line into a weird way with the World Economic Forum, the
new messaging for climate change. And there's this woman,
what is her name? She is let me see I have her here. She is
Mariana mazzucato. And she is a climate change. She's an agenda
contributor, now you go. So she's in marketing. And she's
complaining about how they sucked it at getting everybody
in the world vaccinated, then we have to have different messaging
for climate change. Now, that's also
Unknown: of course, too, with
COVID. Right? We are all only as healthy as our neighbors on our
street and our city, and our region and our nation. And
globally. Did we solve that? Like, did we actually manage to
vaccinate everyone in the world? No. So highlighting water is a
global commons and what it means to work together and see it both
out of that kind of global commons perspective, but also
the self interest perspective, because it is, it does have that
parallel. It's not only important, but it's also
important because we haven't managed to solve those problems,
which had similar attributes. And water is something that
people understand. You know, climate change is a bit
abstract. Some people understand it really well. Some understand
it a bit. Some just don't understand water. Every kid
knows how important it is to have water when you're playing
football, and you're thirsty, you need water. So there's also
something about really getting citizen engagement around this
and really, in some ways, experimenting with this notion
of the common good. Can we actually deliver this time in
ways that we have failed miserably? Other times, and
hopefully, we won't keep failing on the other things, but anyway,
Adam Curry: you know, this kind of woman?
Unknown: Oh, the worst?
Adam Curry: Yes. Well, we failed miserably. Do we actually, were
able to vaccinate every person on the wall? Wow. So climate
change, people don't care. They're proud to just say we're
not gonna have any water. That's what are you saying?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, she's a creep.
Adam Curry: And they should hire the curry Devorah Consulting
Group. We know how to do it.
John C Dvorak: We could definitely do better than her.
Adam Curry: So
John C Dvorak: I've got I got a kind of a tribute series of
clips that might be worth playing now tribute.
Adam Curry: Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. I'd like tributes.
John C Dvorak: This is a tribute to the moms for liberty.
Adam Curry: Really, how are they doing? You know, when I'm mayor
of Fredericksburg and let them run the city. That's That's my
plan. That's my platform.
John C Dvorak: That's right, which I we've talked about off
off like,
Adam Curry: yeah, this off my there's calls for me to be to
run for mayor. There's actual calls. Yes,
John C Dvorak: I'm calling for it.
Adam Curry: I just do a podcast with you every morning. You say
hey, how's it going in Fredericksburg? Well, let me
tell you, John. Hello? Caller Yeah, my trash didn't get picked
up. Oh, okay.
John C Dvorak: That is kind of the drawback to the
Adam Curry: job. Where's my bin?
John C Dvorak: They stole my bin.
Adam Curry: All right, mom's for liberty. All right. I like my
food. Oh, no, what's happening?
John C Dvorak: So they had the head of the moms for liberty. I
believe this is NTD. Is this the naturals would then bring their
mom's brother because they have chapters.
Adam Curry: It's all individual chatter. This
John C Dvorak: is but just the national. Okay. And I think this
is worth there's three part clip and I think it's worth listening
to what she has to say
Unknown: is there a connection between the Justice Department's
targeting of a parental advocacy group and the Southern Poverty
Law Center's designating one prominent group as extremist. We
speak with a co founder of moms for Liberty about the many
challenges facing parents who want a stronger voice and their
children's education. Tiffany justice, thank you so much for
joining us.
Thank you for having me today. Really appreciate it. Tiffany.
To begin the Heritage Foundation is suing the FBI and DOJ on your
behalf mom's for liberty, what are they trying to find out
here?
Yeah, we're trying to find out what is the SPLC talking about
moms for Liberty about me and the co founder Tina desk KOVITCH
with the Biden administration, and it seems like the answer is
yes. Apparently they have something to hide because they
haven't replied to any of the requests for information.
And why do you suspect the FBI DOJ or the Biden administration
is acting on the SPLC whose behalf
you know, when COVID hit parents had a lot Have questions right?
Their schools were shut down and they were speaking out, they
were very concerned about what they were seeing taught to their
children. And they asked a lot of questions. And I think what
we saw was a reaction by the teachers union, the National
School Board Association to go to the DOJ. Right, and to
instigate some action on the Biden administration to protect
them. The truth is only three in 10 children in America are
reading on grade level. And I have to be honest, I think it's
something that the education industrial complex really wants
to hide.
Adam Curry: Well, there was a lot in there, who's suing who?
John C Dvorak: There's a well, the moms for Liberty, liberty
are suing for information regarding the fact that they
were put on a terrorist watch list. And they believe it's
because of the Southern Poverty Law Center who doesn't like
them? Oh,
Adam Curry: douchebags. Of course. Yeah. What happened? We
John C Dvorak: know that not everybody knows that. Not
everybody knows.
Adam Curry: Such a cool name of Southern Poverty Law Center, the
good people. I mean, that's like one one hour cleaner.
John C Dvorak: Exactly. By the way, like the fact that this
woman's name is Tiffany justice. It's a good name. You think is a
great name. Okay.
Adam Curry: Hey, everybody, Tiffany justice in the morning.
Here's the weather.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's a good morning zoo name. Good, WW II
name. And now? Definitely, justice,
Unknown: justice. And so what has been the fallout on your
group, especially after the SPLC added your group to this hate
and extremism report?
Yeah, they put a target on the backs of American moms and dads,
there are people citing the SPLC designation and trying to use it
to hurt us to cancel us to docs us to shut us down to threaten
us to justify violence in many times being suggested. And it's
concerning to us. And, you know, we know what the SPLC
designation has done with other groups in the past. And there's
no doubt that it was meant to try to damage our reputation and
our ability to be Americans and to have our voice heard, which
is our constitutional right.
And TIF now I want to cite something you wrote. So you said
that exercising our free speech rights to attend public school
board meetings that decide how our public schools operate is
not extremism, it is American. So how does the criticism that
you all have received kind of reflects society's changing view
on parents goals in their children's education?
The idea that parents getting involved in their children's
education is somehow anti government or extremists is just
ridiculous. American parents want to have their voice heard
at that very local level. And we endorsed in over 500 School
Board races in 2022. And over 275 candidates were elected to
school board office in 76%. Of those Tiffany, were first time
candidates. So what you see is a whole new group of people
getting involved in American politics, and I think it's
making the people in power. Very, very scared.
Adam Curry: This is exactly what they're doing. Because you know,
it is the moms for Liberty people who are like, yeah, he
should be mayor. Come on, come on. You can do it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, they're their political activist. But I
think
Adam Curry: this is not a good idea. You know, you want your
message to not be bold, there. Daxing. Us. That's what's going
to happen. You need to go into you need to carry firearms, you
know, you they need to get more radical, I think.
John C Dvorak: The homes for liberty with guns.
Adam Curry: Oh, hello. Yeah. It's just, it's just the
thought. It's used
John C Dvorak: the third part. Yeah.
Unknown: And as we head into the 2024, election season, education
has become a huge issue for all sides. What do you see as the
solution here,
more parents getting involved, more community conversations
happening? We just had a town hall in Montgomery County,
Maryland, we had Jewish parents, Christian parents, Mormon
parents, Muslim parents coming together to talk about how we
move forward to protect our kids that you know, you unifying
parents around parental rights is what's going to save this
country at Mom's for Liberty, we believe that and we're going to
keep bringing parents together across the country.
Adam Curry: That's interesting that that now, of course, she
mentions all these different religious groups, but they're
all parents. This is happening worldwide. This there is a
trend. And this is a clip that I got last week. This is Belgium,
Belgium of all places. Listen to what's going on there and see if
you can find the common common theme
Unknown: since the start of the school year. These five letters
have ignited tensions in Belgium. of Ross the French
acronym meaning education and relational emotional and sexual
life is an educational workshop proposed to be given in schools
that's provoked the anger of these demonstrators, Muslims,
fundamentalist Catholics and conspiracy theorists have joined
together to demand the suppression of these workshops.
teach our children if you're a boy, but believe in your head
that you're a girl. You can become a girl we'll
live it Concerns are so strong that several schools have been
set on fire in Belgium over the past few weeks ago disapproves
of such vandalism. But he says as a Muslim, he doesn't want his
children to receive this teaching before.
One of us it's a big problem to be forced to accept something
that we cannot accept. It doesn't just concern the Arab
and Muslim jaspera. In the last demonstration, there were also
many Europeans
have the tools used in schools come from family planning
programs, their director has agreed to show us the equipment
used equipment here, I
have a booklet that allows you to talk about the issue of
periods.
It's a way for her to counter the misinformation about these
workshops, especially on the question of gender.
There's a lot of confusion. When we talk about gender, there's
already the question of gender stereotypes. It's important to
address when it comes to equality. transition issues,
obviously, no one is going to child transition to
Adam Curry: you right, not yet. But so you hear the same thing.
Before almost
John C Dvorak: identical it sounds like a story from around
Illinois or some places like a worldwide phenomenon. That is
orchestrated,
Adam Curry: yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's just like it's all
globalist stuff. I thought it was interesting Muslims, radical
Catholics, and conspiracy theorists. Just religion is that
all
John C Dvorak: the shame? Throw them all.
Adam Curry: But and then they're the little you know, in little
Belgium, they've lightened the schools on fire.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's probably the way to do it. Not
we're not a fight about your gun toting moms for liberty and
under light the school on fire is probably not if I'm
Adam Curry: mayor, not gonna be lightened no schools on fire.
No. No, I think we have to do this now.
Back, Ben, everybody, COVID is still with us. And there's
trouble in paradise trouble in paradise. We've got a problem. I
don't know if you heard. But these, these free shots are not
free. And I shall go back to a couple of weeks ago when we had
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA administrator now on the board
of Pfizer, and what's the alumina? alumina? Illuminati,
Illuminati, he's on the board of the Illuminati. This is what he
said a couple of weeks ago.
Unknown: What's different as we go into the fall back to school
is that the federal government emergency programs have largely
stopped. So people have to actually plan getting their
vaccine, you can't get them for free everywhere. How is that
going to impact what the season looks like ahead?
Yeah, so insurers are going to cover these vaccines in the same
way they cover flu vaccines for people who have insurance for
people who are underinsured or uninsured, the administration
has a program where people are going to be able to get these
for free at pharmacies, that program should be up and running
by the time these vaccines become available. And they'll
also be free of charge at federally qualified community
health centers and also public health departments day one. So
they should be widely it doesn't mean there's not going to be
gaps in coverage and people who face certain hardships but
broadly BrahMos people should be able to get these free of charge
without a copay based on what I'm seeing right now from the
insurance companies
Adam Curry: so free it should be free basically. So they're doing
a deal so at the time they were doing a deal hey, look, we gotta
have these free we got to we got to get this all jacked up. We
gotta we gotta get people free free boosters free but Oh,
saline. Dr. Celine, this seems like you have a problem.
Alright, so
Unknown: some people are having trouble with the updated
COVID-19 vaccine being approved by their insurance, what's going
on there.
So you've had a transition from the US government providing the
COVID vaccine to now business as usual, which means the private
sector. And so there have been a number of glitches with
insurance billing codes, shipping a vaccines, which has
led to a lot of problems. If you have private insurance, whether
it's private Medicare, Medicaid, you should have your free
vaccine. no cost to you. It's covered by insurance since
September 11. But because of these glitches, there have been
some issues. You may want to wait until early to mid October
just for these things to get ironed out. If you do get your
vaccine now. You may need to resubmit or appeal a denial, but
you should get it for free.
Adam Curry: The no agenda show always gets very suspicious when
we hear the term glitch.
Unknown: Yes,
shut up about the glitch.
Adam Curry: I think something happened. I think there's
something with the vaccines. They can't ship them out. They
don't have enough. They want people to wait. So Something is
up. glitches are bullcrap. But the computer systems don't work
now is that the glitch?
John C Dvorak: So they're blaming the fact that they're
not so they're making some just another is a phony story. You're
as you're making the claim that there there is no. The vaccine
might not be available might not be working. It might be
something wrong with it. There may be a million things wrong,
but they're blaming insurance or creating a smokescreen? Yes. A
glitch in terms of using the word glitch. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Very suspicious. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: probably. Yeah, there's no reason for this sort
of thing.
Adam Curry: And then the covering it up with the other
free stuff, which we know but these clips are still worth
listening to it later into the fall here. We might be looking
at another buddy Hey, yo, we got we got football seasons coming
up. You know, we got, you know, close down baseball. But yeah,
we're coming to the ball COVID seasons here
Unknown: later into the fall here and we might be looking at
another COVID surge in the not so distant future not
Adam Curry: so distant future. Why is he puking at me like
this, the federal government
Unknown: is once again offering free home test kits to
Americans. And for more on this, we are joined by CBS News
Medical contributor, Dr. Celine gounder, who is also editor at
large public health pff. Dr. gounder, thank you very much for
being here. So free COVID test once again. Why now.
So as of yesterday, COVID test.gov is up and running
again, the government wants to make sure everybody every
household has tests on hand head of the holidays, because you
have people of different generations who are coming
together close together over the holidays. So it's a risk for
grandma, grandpa, we just want to make sure that people know if
they have COVID and might be infectious to others
Adam Curry: to grandma. Okay, so now Now, this is the other
problem, which is there's not a lot of answers coming out of the
doctor. A lot of
Unknown: us have those tests stockpiled and some of them have
expired. Sometimes with food, sometimes there's medication
even though it's expired, you can still eat it. Effective.
So the FDA has extended expiration dates on the tests.
There's actually information about this on the CBS morning's
dot com website. You can look up your specific brand and see if
yours is still valid. No,
John C Dvorak: yeah, Horowitz bitched about this because he
wanted to get some tests. And he went to the website and on the
website, it said, Hey, these tests probably have an
expiration date. That's that's already shows they're expired.
But no, we've extended it.
Adam Curry: And when asked when pressed on it, so what is what
is the date? You can't really answer?
Unknown: I heard you say that. I know. We can look it up. But if
we don't feel like looking it up, is there a certain time if
it's two weeks late, if it's that the expired tests? Were a
month late? Two months late? Do you happen to know?
Yeah, I mean, two weeks a month later is not an issue. But you
really don't want to be using it.
Adam Curry: Just make it up? Yeah, two weeks for goat's milk.
You can still drink that a
Unknown: month late. Two months late. Do you want to know? Yeah,
I
mean, two weeks a month later is not an issue. But you really
don't want to be using it way beyond the extended expiration
date
Adam Curry: way beyond what does this mean
John C Dvorak: way be extended? Go back. It's not gonna hurt
you.
Unknown: Got it. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Adam Curry: I mean, a valid question, a journalistic
question, which you can expect from CBS mornings would be well,
if they're expired, what happens? Do they give you faulty
results? They give you false positives, false negatives.
These are the questions the American people deserve to have.
Exactly. That's the exact question you'd ask but the the
fact that they're not tells me something what
John C Dvorak: happens when they expire? Do they not work at all?
Or do they just make everything you know false answers or these
are the typically happens, by the way, these are chemical
tests. It seems to me that the reagents used and everything in
between is lifelong stuff that should go for years and years
and years. It's not a budget as far as I know, it's not a bunch
of sketchy organic compounds that are going to react to you
know prematurely and and become useless or peroxides that are
gonna blow up the test like they
Adam Curry: were good to begin with. It would they wouldn't
well there's that these tests are not real they don't really
know these are these are
John C Dvorak: the I think you should repackage them as
pregnancy tests.
Adam Curry: There's an idea gender reveal tests anything
just There you go. It's a boy doesn't matter. You can become a
girl later if you feel like that. Depends on what your what
what you choose. Update on the Russell Brand situation although
it has quieted down a little bit. But as predict Did the
going after rumble This is
John C Dvorak: dangerous rumble
Adam Curry: very dangerous. And they're also and rumble also
owns locals which Oh it does Yeah, which is grand grand Green
Road Glenn Greenwald's outfit, you know, the one that he got
stuck for and moved from substack. And here we have an
outfit called the news movement who seemed they look like
volunteers, but their website looks a lot like the Global
Coalition for tech justice. There's a lot of money going
after big tech, but really problematic platforms like
rumble. And so they feign as a news organization, and if you're
a news organization and Russell Brand is on is on. Rumble, what
do you do? You You know how journalism works? What do you
do? Who are you going to go interview what are the questions
you want to ask? A writer? No,
John C Dvorak: but you develop a hit piece? Yeah,
Unknown: we're in the midst of a crisis sorry,
this netplay this one first massive brands including Burger
King, a source London's Barbican Centre, and HelloFresh have
pulled advertising from Russell Brand's rumble channel three of
the companies removed their ads from rumble altogether after the
news movement found they were appearing alongside brands
videos Burger King has paused advertising on brands channel
while broadcasters and police look at claims of rape and
sexual assault against him brand has a huge audience on rumble
with over 1.4 million followers. There's been concerned about the
increasing discussion of conspiracy theories and his
videos. The comedian's been accused of rape and sexual
assault against four women. He denies the claims to them
approach other brands including Ralph Lauren, eBay and Hilton
Hotels whose ads all appeared on brand's channel but none of the
reply to request for comment YouTube suspended as from his
channel on their site for allegedly violating create
policies and the BBC has removed some shows brand made while
working there. Burger King said the company had paused all
advertising while investigations into the allegations of ongoing
Asus declined to comment but TNM understands the company removed
their ads this week. HelloFresh said thanks for pointing this
out to us. We have manually removed our ads from rump the
barber consent, we've now asked our media agency to exclude this
site from where our ads appear. Rabu has said it doesn't plan to
remove ads from branded content altogether. But it hasn't
replied to requests for comment. Google and brand himself have
yet to reply to us either.
Adam Curry: So they just went to all the advertisers and said,
Hey, do you know your advertising next to this
horrible conspiracy theorists, so called rapists? What's the
brand? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: by the way, the charge has been filed on his
rapes?
Adam Curry: I don't think so. No, of course not. You know, the
media are not allowed to speak about this as a gag order. And
you can be sued by the by the British government, if you
interfere with their possible maybe investigation because it's
still, you know, kind of kind of iffy if they're going to do
anything. But they literally said you cannot report on this
Russell Brand issue on this particular part about the rapes.
Because if you do, then you may be seen as interfering in an
investigation and you can be hauled into into court, by the
government. Yeah. How does that work?
John C Dvorak: They do that stuff all the time in the UK.
Adam Curry: That is, wow. Magna Carta be damned. No freedom of
speech. It's the model is the model of the future. Yeah, for
sure. And so here's this global coalition for tech justice, and
they're all up in arms
Unknown: were in the midst of a crisis, and every second counts.
2024 is a make or break year for democracy and freedoms globally,
as over 2 billion people are due to vote in 65 elections across
the world. But we worry our social media companies ready for
the election tsunami. Will they stop online disinformation, hate
and abuse spilling over into real world violence? They
happened in the past capitol. Do you remember
Adam Curry: this guy? The showing the shaman guy
Unknown: he's done the US Capitol with a mob of history?
No.
Adam Curry: They literally say so they show the shaman guy that
highlight him in the video and then say like he he led the
insurrection.
Unknown: Do you remember this guy? He stormed the US Capitol
with he said he stormed Yeah, I don't know Trump supporters in
2021 after Trump refused to concede the feet in the
presidential race. Two years later, supporters of President
Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil also attacked government buildings in
the lead up to the attacks. Social media was flooded with
this information about the legitimacy of the votes uncalled
for violence. This happens in stable democracies. And before
Silicon Valley giants, that staff meant to keep their
platform face to cup costs. These are not isolated cases,
big tech companies have a track record of allowing abuses and
undermining democracy, and 2024 will pose the biggest risk yet
to people and elections with social media at its most
powerful investments and platform safety should be
proportionate to the risk of harm nots market size. Companies
must address this gross inequality. But they invested
billions to protect the US elections and neglected global
majority countries where they pose a serious risk to rights
and freedoms in 2024. The clock is ticking. Big tech protects
people under elections.
Adam Curry: So yeah,
John C Dvorak: what the hell was
Adam Curry: that? So what they're claiming, is
John C Dvorak: that all names, give me the name of this
operation again,
Adam Curry: oh, it's a sore. Surprise, that all leads to
sorrows, the global or the open. Open Institute, global coalition
for tech justice for Operation Ford Foundation Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation's Open Society Institute, they
John C Dvorak: should all be ashamed of themselves for
letting something like that get produced under their auspices.
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. Don't you think? Yeah, I agree. I agree.
And, but you know, so what they're saying now is, oh, it's
all the tech companies and they fired all of their, their trust
and safety staff. And it's all there. They didn't know that.
That's what they that's what they're saying. Literally,
they're saying, Oh, no, they, they want to cut costs.
John C Dvorak: And well, that's for sure.
Adam Curry: And in France, they're going they're taking a
page out of our playbook from the Obama days, because we know
how this started. Just Just to reiterate, all of this started
with bullying. For at least two years, we had reports about oh,
kids get bullied, they're getting bullied as bullying at
school and bullying. And I know this because we kept saying how
we grew up sticks and stone and we were not even from the same
generation sticks and stones will break my bones but names
will never hurt me. You know, you got to stand up to the
bullies. But no, what do we get? We got bullying laws. Which were
inherently unconstitutional.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, anti free speech. Yeah. But we got local
Adam Curry: laws. And now they're just ratcheting it up.
And now now we got to do this in France.
Unknown: The new measures will include citizen training courses
for bullies. serious cases could be referred directly to
prosecutors, that the worst bullies could end up in prison.
There'll be a new bullying hotline and November the ninth
will become a national anti bullying day. Government is
promising school children it means to protect them.
The whole class schedule Shambo effect on your classes to your
bedrooms, sometimes 24 hours a day on social networks for you
bullying is everywhere and all of the time. The mobilization
must be universal. Everyone has a role to play with all my
government, we stand with you and will fight relentlessly
against bullying.
school bullying hit the headlines earlier this month
with the suicide of a 15 year old boy known as Nicholas. He
attended this school near Paris and only moved there this term
after being bullied at his previous school. The tragedy
shocked France. It was also revealed that local education
authorities sent a threatening letter to Nicholas his parents
after they complained about the bullying. Days later, President
Emmanuel Macron his wife Bridgette, a former teacher, at
the local town hall to talk to local officials, and then spent
time with Nicholas his family. Bullying in French schools is a
growing problem with the recent poll indicating 14% of children
have suffered some form of harassment at school.
Adam Curry: Bullying harassment I grew up with nothing I had to
rats the wrong hair the wrong shoes, stupid blue jeans,
John C Dvorak: ad dumb.
Adam Curry: Ad dumb Where's Eve I was bullied by the way. Girls
beat me up
John C Dvorak: until you told me that the ad DME moniker that you
received in this Dutch schools. I never heard of that gag in my
entire life.
Adam Curry: Ah, well, you don't know a lot about atoms,
John C Dvorak: that we had atoms in our schools, but no one that
little bit, uh, never eluded me, I guess or eluded us. But
Adam Curry: what I mean, we just we need to, people need to stop
this. How about suck it up?
John C Dvorak: Well, here's the thing about that one kid who
killed himself. He had to be someone must have been somewhat
suicidal bear in mind. He quit the school because he was being
bullied there immediately goes to another school where he's
immediately bullied. But is there a bully underground
network or something? Where you'd say, hey, Bill's coming
over there. And he's gonna He's been bullied over here. So make
sure you bully. Ah, so something's up with that story.
Adam Curry: Well, it's the control messaging is to control
what Silicon Valley messaging is doing. We need to go back to RSS
people. Bring, bring?
John C Dvorak: The answer to everything is the oh,
Adam Curry: look, podcasting is still free and available.
John C Dvorak: Until No, and there's no
Adam Curry: there's no until we even have ways where you don't
need a hosting company. You can just throw it on IPFS it lives
out there. And the interplanetary file system. This
is this has all been taken into account. There's no way they can
never take down podcasting. But people need to go back to blogs.
You know, Google hates RSS so much. What was the most popular
RSS product? Google Reader? They love Google Reader.
John C Dvorak: Everybody loves Google Reader. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it was like, you know, email for blogs. And you
could Yeah, it was great. Yeah. And then they shut it down where
they do. Google Plus their own died, of course, because the
stupid and now they're closing down Google podcasts. Why RSS?
What are they? What are they going to give you in return? Oh,
you can put it down in YouTube music. Yeah. Will ingest your
RSS? Uh huh.
John C Dvorak: I don't know why they have such a hard on for RSS
Adam Curry: because they can't control it. And they can they
can
John C Dvorak: algo control a lot of stuff.
Adam Curry: Maybe they're scared? How about that? Maybe
they're scared or something that people actually will use and
like, and have control over? How about that? They need. They need
to keep tricking people into staying. If you're on Instagram,
and the and the algo. See that member pain and suffering. The
algo see that you're about to close the app. They shoot you
five likes, oh, you got five likes? Oh, cool. Check it out
real quick. How about if your kids being bullied? How about
how about No, no phones in the school?
John C Dvorak: Get off the apps. Somebody was I don't have the
clip. But it was one of the old clips where we didn't play as
somebody's talking about I think it was Kennedy or somebody else
saying, well, he's getting a lot of flack for on the social
media, but he doesn't care because he's not on the social
media. Exactly. You know, if you're not on the social media,
it's not gonna have any effect on you. And people aren't even
gonna do it because well, you know, you're let's bully her.
Well, she doesn't she won't ever read it. So what difference does
it make I got other things to do with my time.
Adam Curry: There was a guy yesterday. He was from Nashville
and done a lot with with Nashville music companies and
work for Dave Ramsey. And, you know, all these people knew knew
a lot about social media and algorithms. And he says if you
have 100,000 followers, and you want you want to send out a
message, do you know what percentage you will actually
reach? Because the algos don't really send it to your
followers? Do you know what the percentages is? Shocking?
John C Dvorak: Got to be less than 10% Four point 93 It sounds
right. And I think i i empirically figured this out
myself by messaging. I'm seeing the effects of messaging on
Twitter when I had 10,000 followers in the early days and
I have 100,000 followers now Yeah. And I would get good at
the same thing with Macedon I get good responses to a
suggestion or a link and I get almost nothing when I do it on
Twitter now with 100,000 now there's no dare I'd seen it.
Nobody's saying anything.
Adam Curry: So everybody's now move including was specifically
mentioned that MailChimp is going to be offering SMS text
service so that you can then send the newsletter, a guest
with a link to people's phone.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I don't have any I didn't collect
numbers. I'm sorry. I don't have numbers to send it to.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I understand. But I'm just saying
that that's where the because email has been so suppressed us
to redemptions we can bet we could. This is what is RSS is
just email by subscription. But now we have to we have to To go
with the with the with the MailChimp system, but now people
are using text messaging more and more. Guess what Apple's
gonna come in, they're gonna have all kinds of filters and
algos, so your AI message will stop anything from coming in
that they deem Matic.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I have to have two clips. Okay. Kind of on
the topic. Alright, teens phones one who
Unknown: teens are distracted by around 237 phone notifications
per day. According to a new report from Common Sense Media.
Of the 200 teens who participated, many got over 500
notifications. 1/4 of these notifications came during school
hours, the team's done looked at their phones for an average of
43 minutes, some for as long as six hours that kids would check
their phones over 100 times per day on average, some saying they
struggled to put them down,
she may receive 150 snaps in a day, if not more. There's a
constant. That's nap attack psychotherapist,
calling us our 14 year old daughter is also barraged by
phone notifications. He says having a good relationship with
our teens is a key way to deal with the issue. Or you have the
conversations over and over again about you know, it's
dinner time,
let's decide. And let's have our vo when is something really
important. With and something way
teens can also access age and appropriate content on their
phones. Almost half of the team participants did So accessing
content like pornography betting apps and violent games reading a
small number in social media to chat with strangers, a risky
phenomenon that could lead to problematic interactions with
adults.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I actually heard I heard a statistic
similar that people in general touch their phone over two and a
half 1000 times a day.
John C Dvorak: Ie that's definitely not me mine still in
a drawer. I haven't used my phone since December of last
year.
Adam Curry: I know but you're also not interested in betting
apps. I
John C Dvorak: know who needs that aggravation. To bet on
sports. Park talking to
Unknown: teens are very lonely these days. What the lockdowns
kept them away from their friends. They their only
communication for the most part online so their phone becomes
their friend. And that is really sad
psychiatrists Carole Lieberman says parents can take the phones
away for periods of time and set time limits. They should also
introduce their kids to other activities like sports or dance
class that will help them realize what they're missing out
on
is always a process right? There's no end to when we you
know when she's got it really parallel
psychotherapist Carl Nazar says it's 14 year old daughter has
matured with her phone use, she can distinguish between
notifications that are important. And one second Wait,
but there are still times when she gets hooked and that's when
the conversations begin anew.
Adam Curry: Well, there's a very simple solution to this is very
simple, and it could be cool. I mean, parents, listen up. Get
out Get your kid get all your kids friends. And give them all
a $25 bow Fang handheld ham radio let them all
John C Dvorak: get a license Yeah, yeah, exactly. The early
early version of the old fart who's on the done the ham all
day hams one of the one of the frequencies all day we're
working with a repeater. Yeah, that's probably better.
Adam Curry: Yeah, and you can do digital mode so you can you know
you can send texts and stuff and it'd be cool. Yeah, you can
relay relay messages talk to kids around the world
John C Dvorak: Yeah, around the world.
Adam Curry: Yeah, around the world. And with that I'd like to
thank you for your courage in the morning to you the man and
foot the seas in the corporate capture ladies and gentlemen say
hello my friend and the other one only Mr. John
John C Dvorak: Good morning to you Mr. Chips to see boots on
the ground feed near subs in the water and all the names and
nights out there
Adam Curry: in the morning to the trolls and the troll.
Trolls. There you go. Hello, trolls. Let me Hands up for
showing away so fast. We're two bucks into the show. We got
2135 2135 So we were probably around 24 earlier,
John C Dvorak: but 24 hours average. So we're down 300
Adam Curry: We're down. Where's everybody where the trolls be at
John C Dvorak: the What are you bored with our topics today?
Adam Curry: I don't think so. Our topics have been nothing but
onpoint we are bringing you the world in 20 minutes. 1010 wins.
John C Dvorak: What are we not talking about that they'd want
to hear? What's going on? There's a battle going on
between the Kardash Kardashian sisters.
Unknown: Oh no Oh mad
John C Dvorak: it did
Adam Curry: Chloe's mad at the other one
John C Dvorak: yeah
Adam Curry: oh wow no I was I was not not aware is
John C Dvorak: that in clinic crap the is you get it all this
good stuff on TMC How about this really how about
Adam Curry: we tease we tease some tick tock clips coming up?
John C Dvorak: I do have a couple Yeah, well, we had our
beauties. Okay. So stay tuned,
Adam Curry: everybody tick tock club clips or tick tock clubs,
tick tock clubs are clipping up. These trolls are listening live
every Thursday and Sunday and you can join them by going to
troll room.io Right there you can sign in you can listen along
no agenda stream.com Lots of live shows 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. All talk no agenda, no commercials is great, then
it's it's a real community that hangs out. Of course, you can
also become a part of that and always get alerted when
something is new as in when we're going live. And there's
plenty other shows that know how to access the bat signal with
one of the podcast apps at podcast apps.com. All based on
RSS. So you know that will work and not going to get D
platformed or anything like that. Of course you can always
follow us at no agenda social.com Which still seems to
be a reasonable place for everybody to you know, it's it's
basically social media without. Without algos, I'd say it's
pretty decent. The people you could you know, you couldn't
take the bow Fang idea for the ham radio, you could also set up
a mastodon server for the for the kids at school. You know,
keep your eye on what's going on. Make sure that you know you
can as an admin, you can check everything people can report.
You can you can take it in your own hands parents. How about
that for an idea, John? Yeah. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
Follow Adam, Adam had no agenda, Adam had no agenda social.com
Johnson DeVore I had no agenda social.com we our value for
value. And one of the reasons for that is we didn't want to
have any meetings with advertisers. But also we knew we
would never be able to have any kind of conversation about any
of these topics without being without the news. But the news
moving when those guys called calling up our advertisers. Hey,
you guys said shits there were those guys said, Well, if you
want to advertise a Burger King, you really want to advertise
with those guys. That's what they do. So what they do so
instead, we just said, You know what? Why don't you just send us
any value? If you get any value from the program, we got lots of
people who were very thankful during the lockdowns, I think we
have, we have presented multiple angles to different stories that
help people feel much better, most frequently heard how no
agenda is valuable to me, because I know I'm not the only
crazy one. There's more like me. We have meetups that go along
with that we can meet more of these the same people. And it
turns out they're, you know, the kind of like normal people yet
with real jobs and real lives and real families. And we'd like
to be a part of that. And all we ask is that you return value one
way or the other at some point regularly or not. Whatever you
can do time talent or treasure. Boy, we have so many people who
contribute time. We appreciate all the promotion of the show
that you do. Now, we could use some new SEO people though,
remember that or that one guy came in? And he SEO does and
we're still the top five pages in Google that we can never get
rid of us now.
John C Dvorak: Remember that guy? Yeah. No. Yeah, it
Adam Curry: was someone who did that. It was early early on. We
used to have cool domain names Mitt Romney. Do we have mitt
romney.com Someone like that?
John C Dvorak: A lot of great no domain names. There's there used
to be a page filled with them.
Adam Curry: Yeah. Oh, there. We still have it. The page is still
there. Get moelis.com and we of course we have Big Mike
2020 four.com. Just in case you never know. You never never
know. Another way people help us out is with talent. Boy, we have
a lot of talented people. People do jingles. They do clips they
do end of show mixes also have information boots on the ground
and we love having brand new art, art that is created by
professionals who get additional value from us. We critique them
honestly. We do. You know you never get that. You know you can
be you know trying to trying to get a gig you know trying to
hey, here's some of my work. And they'll just say now or they
won't even call you won't even call you. Yeah, they don't even
bother. Don't even bother with that will at least tell you what
what happened and what went right or went went wrong. So we
want to thank Dame Kenny Ben, who, who came back and this one
just jumped off the page. This was the attacking rocket
Beautiful piece. By the way, got a note about this The attack
comes from where was it? Yeah. What
John C Dvorak: did you find out about the attack comes?
Adam Curry: So attack him is at a CMS That's an acronym for
these types of rockets that we have sent to Ukraine to shoot at
Russia. And here's a note from a producer. I work at Lockheed to
the simulation department for five years on the attack comes
program. The way the media is pronouncing the acronym acronym
is pretty funny. I admit I like it, but that's never how we
pronounce it. It's a tack Holmes I attack them today got a ye i
tak combs it's an ID tag and it's not attack EMS. It's
John C Dvorak: is no good. No, I tagged him is no good. It has to
be Attack, attack, attack, attack. I attack the
Adam Curry: media just do that. They just did that just to make
it sound good.
John C Dvorak: They jacked it up. They did a good job.
Adam Curry: Very good job. So damn, Kenny. Man. Thank you so
much was a good piece. And Kenny when we looked at a couple
others. I remember us. You know, we had the NA noise. I guess
when Phoebe got picked up, you're hitting your noise
machines and people were making art about that, which is kind of
weird, because that would never show up in the actual finished
product. So we had a lot of the show a lot of Taylor Swift
related art.
John C Dvorak: That's not going to happen. She's gets enough
publicity with us helping.
Adam Curry: Yes. People keep sending me notes that she's
transsexual.
John C Dvorak: Oh, please. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I'm just telling you. And then I'm crazy for not
seeing it. But she's a guy. Yeah. And so as Megan Megan
Kelly, and a couple
John C Dvorak: moral Megan Kelly has masculine features, but
she's no guy.
Adam Curry: She's not a dude. It's weird, though. It's weird.
And so what and then my point is like, okay, so this is some big
hoax that I'm falling for and, and what? And there's never an
answer on that.
John C Dvorak: And you can't see it. Yeah, you can. He's, she's a
guy and you can't see it.
Adam Curry: I tell ya. I'm telling you. There wasn't you
know, Justin Trudeau with a Hitler mustache? No, that's
John C Dvorak: no, that's not happening. I can do that. And
also the Babylon. Brd did a whole gag about it. Yeah. So we
looked at derivative.
Adam Curry: Was there anything else we liked? Was there
anything else?
John C Dvorak: There was nothing else we liked?
Adam Curry: What was this? People really taking the Swift
thing to a whole new level man. Do I like the Taylor Swift?
Like, okay, we have a Taylor Swift shoe. I don't understand
that. A lot of the what's the football there's the Taylor
Swift shoe. And it says right is this shoe with Na on it says na
swift balance model 333. I don't understand it.
John C Dvorak: But that's the name of it. But it's just like
when our cleaners the shoe is gonna do it. Anything I know.
Adam Curry: So. Yeah, it just didn't seem like there was there
was
John C Dvorak: no life. There was no nobody would know the
artists weren't jacked up. They weren't happy to do anything.
They just Yeah, exactly. You know why? I think the one that
did definitive pieces we're sorry, a death, which I think is
pretty much summarizes the art.
Adam Curry: But damn, Kenny Ben's aren't just jumped off the
page. It's like, wow, yeah, that's what you want. I mean,
that that rocket was beautiful. Thank you very much named Kenny
Ben. And of course, we appreciate the effort by every
single one of our artists. Let me see we It looks like there
may be some some stuff that's I haven't looked at all of it yet.
But if you want to follow along, if you're listening to the live
show, you can do that in your app. And you'll you can I'm
sorry, you can while you're listening live, you can go to no
agenda, art generator.com. And just refresh and you'll see this
stuff show up. It's pretty funny how a topic goes by, you can see
within five minutes, boom, there's a piece of art that goes
along with it. Or after the fact Dred Scott puts a lot of these
pieces into the chapter art which will just switch even
while you're driving and you're listening to the show you'll see
the port but just switches right on your dashboard. It's pretty
cool. Then we have the talent, I mean, the treasure portion.
John C Dvorak: And it was it was came up slow and low today. I
think total donators in the mentioned category just over 40
Which is
Adam Curry: kind of pathetic all the way through 50 Yeah, yeah
that it's low. But you know you don't know what's happening I
mean, you know, I you don't know maybe maybe the maybe we're in a
recession depression maybe pay people have no money maybe maybe
there's no evidence. Maybe they just don't like what we're doing
we need to do more Kardashian this stuff. So I'd you need why
anyway, you need to bring you need to bring it You need to
bring some Kardashian news next time. Hello, okay. Okay, I will.
So we'll start off with and this is nice. We do have a couple of
executive and Associate Executive producers, we always
appreciate anything you send us and we can't tell what's a lot
of what's a lot of value for you. $5 may be incredible
amount. We're just as happy with that, that William Rob is in San
Antonio, Texas, and I think he got a little bit of the wrong
idea about our donation segment. Now he is very happy because he
becomes a knight today. But then he says this note is and he sent
three, four 5.67. He says this note is very important outreach
to the Texas producers in the Round Rock and surrounding
areas. A pretty dang big hailstorm came through last
night, last Sunday evening and totally blasted just about every
roof in town. He says I can help you. And he says I'm a service
professional with m&m roofing siding and windows. Give us a
Google which I think is great. But then he goes through the
whole pitch. Like ad copy.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, and we're not going to raise these up in
the ante on Linda Lou patcon Yeah,
Adam Curry: but we're not going to do that. I didn't I didn't
appreciate that was no it was over downers. Yeah, phone
numbers.
John C Dvorak: And yeah, I think pluggy one and you just gave it
Yeah. Eminem roofing siding and windows.

appearance on Rogen and every donation segment I always wonder
what my night name should be. Well now I know. Please night me

scream is being used by other shows now. Yeah, I know by now
it happens.
John C Dvorak: You know, somebody wanted these other
shows. I was looking at some podcast because those people
sending me links. You know, these guys are terrible. But I
have to say, well, there's another podcast that uses they
tried to do album art new album marfrig show they do one show a
week. Ya know, and I have to say there's a dyskinetic issue here.
Okay, one of the things we have going is that the two of us seem
to have some sort of some overriding good taste when it
comes to what should be presented. As opposed to shit
look and stuff.
Adam Curry: Yes, well, okay. We're
John C Dvorak: just saying Brandon Johnson is next on the
list. He's in Olympia Washington came in with 333 He's got no
note that I could find. Okay. If he has one he can send it in

karma.

because I think there wasn't clipped bright or something. Oh,
and that's the stinks. ISO let me
Adam Curry: see doesn't stink. It's not that bad. A little
short doesn't stink. Okay.
John C Dvorak: And so then the other one, which I think it
will, it's a good evergreen ISO, it should work. Thank you so
much.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, since we have nothing else, I'll just
have to do well, thank
John C Dvorak: you so much. Tock tock tick tock.
Adam Curry: John's tick tock clips. He has some dynamite
minds. We're very excited about your tic tock loops.
John C Dvorak: First of all, let's play this one. This is the
classic tic tock genius discussing musk. There's a
person who I believe is dead serious. If there's 10
Unknown: billion people on earth and Elon Musk has $200 billion.
Can't he just give each person 1 billion? Here's the twist. You
will still have $190 billion leftover. Isn't that concerning?
Adam Curry: Wow. Wow. Yeah, that's that. Yes. I think you're
right. That person is dead serious and dead stupid.
John C Dvorak: Kids stupid. Good show name. Kids stupid heads.
Okay, so now I've got a tick tock, this guy who does? Who
puts his his image of black guy who puts his image on the screen
and rolls his eyes while some tick tock nutcase is going on
and about some he's really good. I got to start following him
more. But he comes up with a little bit at the answer is kind
of a two part of this. All in one clip, where he pretty much
elucidates, I think, the real problem with pronouns at the end
the way he does it is, is I, I like it a lot. But let's listen
to the pronoun woman who is really disturbed looking
individual.
Unknown: And you know, I'm tired, seven in the morning at
the physical therapy office misgendered by someone who I've
told my pronouns to, and I said, just to let you know, my
pronouns, are they them? And they went, Oh, yeah, that's
right. Yeah, that's right. And then I had to explain to many
times to my physical therapist, that I didn't want to do an
exercise where I had to crunch my face into my boobs, because
that gave me gives me gender dysphoria. And I ended up
getting upset and started to softly crying, and then quietly
begged to leave and have the physical therapist just email me
the exercises, so I wouldn't have to actually be in the space
to do them, and I could see them at home. You know, I don't feel
comfortable in most places in society. But when it comes to
being at the doctor's office, it's important to feel cared for
respected. Have your humanity honored? And I'm just I'm tired.
I'm real tired. And I've had a rough morning,
somebody raised this, somebody did, you should be ashamed of
yourself. You're raising a feckless individual that cannot
function in society as a functional human human being.
It's your fault, Mama, daddy, whoever raised this person, it's
your fault. Just this has made it it's your fault. There's no
way in the world are you an adult and you getting butthurt
and you crying softly in the doctor's office because somebody
forget to call you something that's not even grammatically
correct. Like the pronoun is not grammatically correct. It's not
English language. You cannot be a singular person but yet you're
calling yourself a plurality of persons. You cannot be a fool
you just one person you cannot be them. You just one person and
how are you mad at other people who refuse to defy the English
language? How about you have the respect for the humanity of
others and accept the fact that some people may not want to call
you something that is not even reasonable and it's not even
appropriate when it comes? To the language that we all agreed
to speak.
Adam Curry: I think it works better when you can see the guy.
John C Dvorak: I thought it was better if you can see her.
Adam Curry: Yeah, well, yeah, that's for sure. Yeah, it was
interesting. At the at the conference, there was a vocal
coach. And this guy is really a vocal coach for singers with
some of the biggest names in country and, and gospel
Nashville guy. Sure. And he was trying to explain why it wasn't
trying was succeeding very well, that what you need to do if you
really want your voice or what you're saying, to come across,
in a way that people not just hear it, but are drawn into it.
And he does this with you know, he's the kind of guy that you
know, someone's gonna go on stage, they got 10,000 people in
the audience, they call them two hours before it's like, I can't
I can't hang out. I don't want my voice is not the way I want
it to be. I need you to help me. And he said, and he gave
examples of this actually with Simon and Garfunkel and some
other songs as the same song but sung in different ways. He says
if you prolong your consonant,
John C Dvorak: your what your Will the consonant consonant.
Adam Curry: He says, as he gave examples, it was amazing how
when you prolong your constants, as I just did, how people get
drawn in and listen to you and you're much more enjoyable to
listen to in your in your information will come across
better. It is the exact opposite of what these morons are doing.
Because they're extending their vowels and dropping their
consonants like T's. Hmm, I just thought that was fair. Right?
Fascinating. All right. Got it vocal right there. Whereas it's
the T's and the SS and the DS. And the Gs, Gs, Gs. Anyway, free
lesson, everybody. I've got one more clip that I think is in
watch. They have two very important news.
Unknown: We have some sad views coming from American zoos. It
seems that Chinese pandas will leave America, we're talking
about some of the most popular attractions in Washington DC
zoos, not to mention Atlanta, Memphis, San Diego as well. I
haven't personally seen them. I would have loved to see them.
But it seems given a look at that. Who doesn't want to see
pandas? It just makes us happy. But it seems given the ongoing
tensions between Washington and Beijing they will no longer be
available after more than 50 years of spending time here in
the US.
Adam Curry: Ah, can they recall the pandas? Are they allowed
John C Dvorak: to they were always licensed anyway, they
never owned them. Oh, I didn't know they were all all pandas in
the world are licensed by the Chinese. But you have to there's
a EULA.
Adam Curry: I didn't know that I didn't know the license. So they
can retract the license at
John C Dvorak: any time they can retrieve the Panadol. And if
they if they have babies, the babies belong as part of this
like a typical classic EULA. Babies belong to China to wow.
So I was always thinking that one of the one of these is to be
creative and kind of slip a baby panda, you know, fly everybody,
but they've never managed to do it.
Adam Curry: And this, this one that this, I don't know if you
have anything else. But this last clip this was there was a
hearing, which didn't get a lot of traction. And it was about
the Lahaina fire. And you recall that our our insider in the
electric electricity industry had found out that the even
though the power had been shut off from the power company, that
the hotels were still pumping their energy back into the grid
through their generators. Do you remember that? Yeah,
John C Dvorak: I remember it. Well. Now
Adam Curry: here is the president of Hawaiian Electric.
She really Kimora and here's what she testified to
Unknown: on that day of fire at 6:30am. What I will refer to as
the morning fire appears to have been caused by Hawaiian Electric
power lines that fell in high winds. The Maui County Fire
Department promptly responded to this fire. They reported that by
9am it was contained. After monitoring it for several hours,
the fire department determined the fire had been extinguished.
They left the scene in the early afternoon at about 3pm A time
when all of Hawaiian Electric's power lines in West Maui had
been de energized for more than six hours a second fire, the
afternoon fire began in the same area. The cause of that
afternoon fire that spread to Lahaina has has not been
determined. We are working tirelessly to figure out what
happened and we are cooperating fully with federal and state
investigators who have indicated it may take 12 to 18 months to
conclude,
Adam Curry: Oh, how about when we know exactly what happened?
The wires were down there were energized because the hotels had
their generators still hooked up. We're pumping energy back
into the back end system. So they now they got it now that
this I think there's some negotiating who's going to take
the fall for it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that's where the 18 months what a visit
take 18 months or is that kind of investigation?
Adam Curry: It's who he is who he I tell you, it's who he is
who he is who he who he very sad that that can't just come clean
with people, you know? That story dropped out, didn't it?
John C Dvorak: Never. You know, there's
Adam Curry: pizza. Well, no, I mean, forget about just the fire
in general. Oh, yeah. No, forget it. People are homeless out
there. It's nuts. Coming up next on no agenda. stream.com we have
the bowls with buds with Steven Bell. Wow. Steven Bell, one of
the big software developers of podcasting. 2.0 It should be
fun. And the show mixes Billy Bones we got him. You see we
have a classic Obama phone remix. And we have Brendan Epps,
boogie boogie boogie cat much, much better than that. We'll be
back on on Thursday. Until then, I'm Adam curry coming to you
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country. And FEMA Region number

John C Dvorak: a bunch of different subcultures of birds
around the Blue Jays. Crows ravens, but these dubs had moved
in they've never been here before and the mood at all
songbirds when I first heard was I thought an owl was your during
the day there's nothing worse it's driving me nuts and gonna
