John C Dvorak: There's gonna be a lot of pink guy. Let's put it
that way. Adam curry,
Unknown: John C. Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Award winning nation media assassination episode
1678. This
Unknown: is no agenda
Adam Curry: and broadcasting live from the heart of the
country here and fever. Reason number six in the morning,
everybody. Madame Curie
John C Dvorak: came from Northern Silicon Valley where
terreno Fuji is back, undefeated. I'm Jhansi Dvorak.
Adam Curry: Nailed it. Only only you could give us some sumo
headlines at the start of a show on a day like this. Only you
John C Dvorak: could have said JD Vance. Oh and birded one Oh,
no, no
Adam Curry: wait, breaking breaking.
Unknown: I feel standby we're gonna get back to you soon. But
there's some breaking news emerging right now. CNS Kayla?
Toshi. She's on the scene for us. Kayla, the president United
States was about to speak but something has gone on. He's just
got new information. Tell us about that. Well,
President Biden has just tested positive for COVID that
according to the president of Unito, as the leader viewer, oh,
no,
Adam Curry: he tested positive for COVID. And it gets worse now
that,
Unknown: you know, the President has received probably at least
five doses of vaccine as a lot of us and has also had the right
for it. And that has really, you know, all those elements are
served to increase his immunity. Plus, he you know, we also have
packs loaded now. And we've already heard that he's just the
brand. Dr.
Reiner, we're seeing live pictures of the president
boarding Air Force One right now. And what jumped out at me
and I'm sure to others as well. I didn't see him wearing a mask,
as it was. Those other people have
Adam Curry: no mask. Oh, no. Breaking breaking. But remember
everybody it's safe and effective. President
Unknown: Joe Biden slowly making his way off Air Force One in
Delaware Wednesday night. This is one of the first images of
the president we've seen since confirmation came in to be
tested positive for COVID 19.
So I think Biden being second is a big deal, but I don't think
he's going to suffer any real consequence. Because it is a
manageable disease. Even in the older population.
That's Stanford's Dr. Yvonne Maldonado. Right rest is key for
someone. For COVID, the President's press secretary says
Biden will self isolate in the days to come. He did eventually
put a mask on after getting into his waiting SUV. Biden's medical
team says he has been vaccinated and has all of his current
annual booster dose. Maldonado says that is important. That
Adam Curry: is important. He's had all his booster shots. He's
wearing a mask, you still got COVID It's unbelievable how safe
and effective it really is.
John C Dvorak: Glad I didn't make the clip of it. But Gutfeld
had kind of, I don't know, probably a sketchy joke where he
said, when he announced it on his show, he says, Well, there's
another shot that didn't work.
Adam Curry: And I and I think this came right after he
announced that he would only only only only really give up if
he had some kind of medical emergency.
John C Dvorak: Yes. And there's one report that I have from NPR.
The Biden has COVID clip. And there's a little factoid at the
end of this, which they've left out of all these other reports
President
Unknown: Biden campaigning in Nevada left early today. That's
after confirmation from the President's doctor. The 81 year
old president has tested positive for COVID. By most of
delivered remarks to Latino organization conference,
President instead left early to self isolated his home in
Rehoboth Delaware finds doctor says the president symptoms are
mild,
mild, mild.
Adam Curry: Yes, no problem. But I think this is the clip where
they they're trying to get rid of him. And then I think this is
it. I'm not sure if he says they only five some medical problems,
Unknown: the pressure from Democratic leaders, for Biden to
get out of the race is intensifying. In fact, one
person who has been out there publicly defending Biden told me
just a short while ago, Biden is going to see the whole house of
cards come down soon. As for that meeting with Delaware, I am
told that this was a one on one meeting just the Senate leader
and the President and the Chuck Schumer forcefully made the case
for the better for Biden better for the Democratic Party and
better for the country if he were to bow out of the race. And
David, when I went to to Schumer's office to ask them
about to tell them I was to report this and tell you this
tonight, absolutely no denial from Senator Schumer's office.
They only said this leader Schumer conveyed the views of
his caucus. In other words, the views of democratic senators, I
am also told that Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic Leader
of the House, has expressed similar views directly to the
president at Joe.
Adam Curry: And I mean, showing my caucus. Let me show you this.
Maybe, maybe, maybe maybe we can spin this ladies and gentlemen,
maybe we can spin this in a positive direction Joy read help
us.
Unknown: These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an
elderly man who, for whatever reason was given nine seconds to
take a iconic photo op during an active shooter situation. weird
situation. We'll figure that out one day. But his survival of
that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is
being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength.
This current President of the United States is 81 years old,
and has COVID. Should he be fine in a couple of days? Doesn't
that convey exactly the same thing? That he's strong enough
older than Trump to have gotten something that used to really be
valuable to people his age? So if he does fine out of it and
comes back and is able to do rallies? Isn't that exactly the
same? It's not exactly the same. It's not same incident but it's
all it's an elderly man coming through out of an age should
take
Adam Curry: her off the air. What an nincompoop. It's exactly
the same yummy shots exactly
John C Dvorak: the same, exactly the same word
Adam Curry: on the street. I have from from reliable sources.
Biden will step down tonight. Tonight Tonight, this is what
I'm hearing. And it kind of goes along with this news and I
believe this is the the Biden won't quit until he cyclic
Unknown: the Democratic National Committee announces its shelving
and effort to make Biden's nomination official by the end
of July through a virtual roll call vote. The DNC rules
committee now announcing no virtual voting will begin before
August one. The move perhaps intended to buy more time to
convince Biden to drop out of the race sources telling ABC
News it came at the urging of the two most powerful Democrats
in Congress, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and house
minority leader Hakeem Jeffries so far Biden resisting all
entreaties to drop out of the race, but he has had words of
praise for his vice president Kamala Harris by the way
she's our great Vice President she can be president united
states
in an interview with b e. T. Biden did say a doctor's
recommendation could sway him as
a medical condition and emerged if somebody if the doctors came
to me said you got this problem that problem? Yeah,
Adam Curry: there's you're out.
Unknown: I don't know. I
John C Dvorak: think I don't think he wants it out.
Adam Curry: No, but did you see him going into and getting out
of the plane? That is not
John C Dvorak: good. barely get up the stairs and it was the
short bed little boys. wasn't a big deal. roll that out for him
any more than the stairway?
Adam Curry: No. Now I'm just telling you I heard from
reasonably good inside sources.
John C Dvorak: microdot guys,
Adam Curry: no, close, though. Here in the hill country? Yes.
The word is you stepping down? It comes. This comes from Trump
associates. So who knows? Well,
John C Dvorak: tonight would be timed because Trump gives his
speech tonight. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So they could ruin the coverage.
John C Dvorak: That's why it would make logical sense to do
it if you're going to do it at all. But I don't believe that. I
don't think it's going to happen. And they keep bringing
up this August 1 thing, one of the early tweets that was taken
down to after the Trump shooting was it. Don't worry at Trump's
going to be dead by August 1. I think that was one of my one of
the newsletters I sent out. We still had
Adam Curry: that tweet on it. So we have to wait until August 1.
Is that is that the idea? Well,
John C Dvorak: I think that if they're planning to try to kill
him again. Man. I'd say that August 1 is one of the days that
has been set up. So why would you throw in the towel today
doesn't make sense. Well,
Adam Curry: I mean, clearly he didn't have to didn't have to
say Oh, I got COVID I'm going home and that was not necessary.
His symptoms are mild isn't you know it wasn't wearing a mask.
It's a hoax. It's a reason to maybe just doesn't like Latinos.
He doesn't
John C Dvorak: like Latinos because they're turning on him a
pooped. He himself talked about the schedule he's been on.
Adam Curry: I want to run through a couple of bad takes
bad assassination takes that, that cropped up in the media and
hope and some of it was was thwarted or combated by by the
blue team. We started with by the blue team that the depth of
the CNN basically CNN. Here's the X. Axelrod does this or on
CNN, this is Obama's guy. You know, the reality is that there
are things you can't erase. I mean, we all remember January 6,
we remember the President's rhetoric then. Just a few weeks
ago, he retweeted a tweet, which was Cheney was accused of
treason, and it said read truth if you want televise military
tribunals, and he did. So I think the speaker should talk to
the President as well, because he has, he has done his share to
put us where we are now he brought it upon himself. But
there's David urban to say, Oh, David. Yeah, I
Unknown: was just gonna say, look, there's actually you and I
will disagree on this. There's no excuse. That's like blaming
the victim a little bit here, right? Like, so somebody gets
assaulted, you blame the victim, oh, he shouldn't have been
wearing that that outfit or that man deserved to be being hit by
a car or whatever. And he's not saying that. Indirectly is but
you know, you got to condemn them. Actually gonna condemn it
outright, right. There's no justification of it. I've
condemned
it from the very beginning for that, for that, but you
also can't say January 6, is the reason the President almost got
killed yesterday. Did
I say that? You kind of said the speaker said we have to lower
our voice. And I'm suggesting that he should speak to his own
cat. And I
agree, and we should speak to lots of Democrats, lots of
Republicans, the president united states at some rhetoric
heated rhetoric.
Adam Curry: Well, let's start let's do this. Let's start by
not putting words in my mouth. Okay. Well, I'm not
Unknown: saying sec. I just want to say January 6, did not cause
what happened. I
Adam Curry: don't think nobody said I don't think it was saying
that. He did exactly what he's wire. A lot of people getting
fired from the jobs for saying, Oh, he missed it. No bad shots.
But my favorite was of course what happened in Australia. A
Unknown: joke about a missed shot from an attempted assassins
rifle has brought musical duo Tenacious D in the crosshairs, I
mean calls for their deportation from Australia. The controversy
brought down the curtain on the rest of the tour across
Australia and New Zealand. And it could mean no more wrong
cause for the comedic raucous from
tenacious days, Carl gasps This is not the greatest quote in the
world.
You will miss Trump next.
thing no tributes to his band bait. The other half of the
comedic rock duo Jeff flag posted. I was blindsided by what
was said at the show on Sunday, and I would never condone hate
speech or encourage political violence with that the rest of
the Dewar's spicy meatball to was canceled and all creative
plans put on us
Adam Curry: Oh, that was one of my top three the top the top or
the topper? What had to be Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway on
the on the pivot podcast?
John C Dvorak: me on this one. I'm sure this is gonna be a news
to me Get a
Adam Curry: load of this one.
Unknown: Social media is flooded with misinformation, conspiracy
theories, especially x of course. And Elon Musk keeps
touting it. He's real media. Now. He's 80s piece of him
anyway, Elon Musk and some other tech business leaders, using
your megaphone to criticize the Secret Service diversity
initiatives and making unsubstantiated claims about the
shooting just like they did with that guy who got killed in San
Francisco Wrong. Wrong. He's not an Tifa. He also formally
endorsed Trump after the shooting as to Bill Ackman
because they couldn't have the spotlight away from them. People
on both sides of the political spectrum are sharing theories.
The false flag claiming the picture was staged. Yeah,
certainly was fast on his feet.
So there's ridiculous theories on both sides. The worst on the
right, but I don't know if you heard that. Right before
Mallanna gave her public statement. She was heard yelling
into a phone You had one job too soon.
I like a joke. I like my favorite joke was from someone
where they said it's let's let's hope it's not a time traveler
from the future. Who can't shoot it was something like that
anyway. Oh, no.
The truth is, I mean, the probably the most likely
conspiracy theory is the Democratic Party order to hit
but they use TV for it. They use Timo and Oh,
all right, well, stop with the jokes.
Adam Curry: It's just like, they hate so much that they still
have to make jokes. And they and they didn't they didn't deliver
it. No, that didn't deliver a single one of them. What I what
I really played this clip for is Kara Swisher says no, there's
lots of conspiracy theories. Like was an inside job. I gotta
say he did get up pretty quick. That picture was pretty iconic.
And I just need to stop and say something about this. Because
there is a large contingent quite large, who all believe
this was staged. It was meant to to get that iconic photo of
Trump and the flag and his fist pumping in the air. It was too
perfect. Everything was too well orchestrated. Please don't pay
attention to the dead guy as irrelevant. But I would just
like to remind people that if the current of our consulting
group had advise on such a strategy, we would do it in
October. Not in July. That just discredits that whole theory.
It's, it's idiotic, wouldn't you say?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I'd have to agree with that. I have a couple
of clips that kind of refer to this. One is first I got a bunch
decision about the nature of the shooting. Vaughn Gino came up in
here he who is an ex, Secret Service guy, so and so he has a
lot of contacts. And he was bitching about it. I guess
you're going to ingest another investigation by this time by
the House speaker. So they have about six or seven of these
things going on at the same time. They're definitely going
to get rid of this woman. I don't know how they're going to
manage it. But you're gonna have to give her a golden parachute
or something.
Adam Curry: Oh, you mean, the Secret Service? Lady Cheadle?
Yeah, I mean, you had some stuff in the newsletter about her,
which I did not know that Jill Biden actually was
John C Dvorak: parsing real Biden harder. Yeah,
Adam Curry: really? How do we know this? Well, there's
John C Dvorak: an article in The New York Post. There's an
article in the Daily Mail. There's an article in Politico,
there's an article in The Hill, I think there's plenty of
articles that indicate that Joe Biden did this. So that's how we
know it. All right. But since you're on the topic of being a
people being abhorrent, which I thought was funny to hearing
that coming from x, yeah. Right on Monday with you know, they
canceled the mica and the morning, Joe Show. Morning, Joe
guy kicked off the air because they were and then the next day,
of course, more I don't have the clip, by the way.
Adam Curry: I think we're responsible, because you called
out the CEO of Comcast. You said is that guy's fault? And I think
he heard it anyway. Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. I doubt if he heard it, but he should have
been saying, oh, meanwhile, they let Nicole Wallace do her show.
Yeah. And you and she's worse than those two. And so I have
some Nicole Wallace's material that I got three clips here.
They're fairly short. So for the first one, but here's what
happens. This is the day at you know, this is the first Monday
when they she comes back on the air. She wasn't bumped. And here
we go. So
Unknown: Claire and David is 439 in the east and we've memory
hold Mike Pence the whole reason Donald Trump needs a new VP is
because he called Mike Pence the P word because he wouldn't be
the final nail in his coffin and then left him to die, of course
wanted to quote hang Mike Pence. And
by the way, JD Vance has said he would not have certified those
electors. Can I show
you what what Jamie Masse was actually confronted by foxes,
Brett bear, about all the things JD Vance said about Donald
Trump. Let me tell you that.
Well, you know, Senator, this is an evolution and I know you've
been asked about this before about past comments that you've
made about Donald Trump. You've said I've never I'm a Never
Trump guy. Never liked him. Terrible candidate. Idiot if you
voted for him might be America's Hitler. Might be a cynical
aihole cultural heroine noxious, reprehensible about
Donald Trump. I
didn't think he was gonna be good president Brett. He
was a great presidents.
I don't know if the flip flop does make you throw up in your
mouth the you know, sick a fan he's turned into might. Yeah, I
think flip flopping is baked in in the Trump era for
Republicans. Sadly, as I mentioned, that's why they do
the unqualified tag is important. But I think at the at
the base of what you just raised about the reason JD Vance is now
needed is because Donald Trump's former Vice President Mike Pence
has been disenfranchised by Republicans but most of Donald
Trump's cabinet won't support the former president either
either. For a fundamental reason, because Donald Trump did
try to topple democracy with violence and Mike Pence refused
to do it. And this is important to the context of what we saw in
Butler. We don't know the shooters motivations. Let's just
let's say it was political violence politically motivated.
That shooter almost interrupted democracy to violence through a
bullet. On January 6, Donald Trump led an insurrection to
interrupt democracy.
Adam Curry: Yeah, this is this is the big it's a false
equivalency. What are you doing?
John C Dvorak: The I like this is that guy jolly a Republican
Congressman Of course. Nicole Wallace is an ex Republican. She
was, I think, a spokes holder for Bush. Yeah. And she now says
that she was like a self loathing Republican she was
feeling bad about.
Adam Curry: I always I always hated being Republican, but I'm
not a flip flopper. And speaking about puking in your mouth,
John C Dvorak: Nicole was a good point. I'm not a flip flopper.
That's nasty.
Adam Curry: That's nasty. But
John C Dvorak: she's, she's really a pathetic example of
Well, here's a listen to this clip to
Unknown: Unfortunately, nobody was killed, but the crowd was
chanting hang Mike Pence and Donald Trump watched as that
occurred. It is why
a tweet calling him not the P word. But we know from Ivanka
Trump's assistant that that's what he was saying in private.
And as I've said that what?
John C Dvorak: He sent out a tweet, what is not calling him
to pee word. But what was the tweet? He is always sending out
tweets. So she said, so she implies the by the way she
presents this, that he sent out a tweet, but he didn't like Mike
Pence a prick. or pushy or pushy.
Adam Curry: We don't know. We don't know because but it's the
P word. It's a P Well, you can't say the P word. Unless you're
wearing a pink hat.
John C Dvorak: Exactly. Yeah.
Adam Curry: So but just think of this. He
John C Dvorak: sent out a tweet. Not calling him with the tweets
that what? What is she talking about? They're very
Adam Curry: confused at this moment. They're confused. They
don't know what to do. They're there. No one's no one's giving
up. There's no call from Jill. She's trying to you know, keep
Joe afloat that their deal isn't done yet. You know, she's
managing Schumer. The house, I get this guy. I gotta make it
happen. Hunters. You know, he's in the corner. She's just, it's
it's a problem. They got problems as problems in paradise
here. So nobody knows what to do. Well,
John C Dvorak: here we go to the last short clip
Unknown: of Trump where the guy and the first girlfriend that
was dating him was Mike Pence. And you say well, you know, I
It's not you. It's him. I mean, he left you to actually die.
They were chanting hang Mike Pence. And he said, Yeah, go for
it. Basically.
Adam Curry: It's really unbelievable. We sit right Wait,
she
John C Dvorak: says she claims that Trump said there are
chanting hanging Mike Pence. I don't remember this. I watched
the whole thing too. If he was watching what I was watching,
which was on C span, there wasn't much going on. And so
they're chanting according to her hang Mike Pence, which could
have been just the FBI chanting it. And then Trump said Go for
it. When was this? Do you remember this? No. And what
Adam Curry: they had He also claimed they built a gallows if
there was a small there was no gallows. There was a guillotine
like a model guillotine that was outside. You know, someone
brought it in our trailer. Yeah, this is a great surprise,
surprise. The media sucks. Just surprise. The media is doing no
good. No
John C Dvorak: deny that but they're there. i This is where I
want to play this clip. This is the one I just sent in. Oh, this
is Brian O'Shea. And Brian O'Shea is married to Naomi Wolf,
Adam Curry: man. Well, yes. And he's a former
John C Dvorak: Intel guy. Yeah, yeah. He's a private security
company entail ex Intel ex army. Green Berets had a hell of a
background. He and She married him because she he was he was a
bodyguard. Yeah. Bodyguard says when the marrying the bodyguard,
yes. Yeah. So this guy regular Whitney Houston. So she wrote a
a substack claiming that Jill Biden is behind the whole
Adam Curry: No, it was really it was really cagey. She's like I
don't want I I'm writing to get sued. But it looks like Jill is
in charge here was an interesting piece.
John C Dvorak: And that piece by I would link to that in the
newsletter but I read it after the fact. And it because it was
interesting. I I tweeted it so people should follow me the real
Dvorak because I'm not on Macedon anymore. No. So he has a
couple of new he has one insight that I've never heard it and
she's claimed it she just goes on for a while. And she says
it's like breaking news and they talk about that but they talked
about some other stuff. But this is the one of the key little
elements in it. interview she did with him on her, one of her
podcasts and I will say this. She doesn't. I don't know why
this is so She's always poor. She is so poorly miked on her
own podcast. Yeah, and everybody else all the guests are Well,
Mike. Yes, she
Adam Curry: does on the laptop mic. I have no idea why someone
should shake her about to Hey,
John C Dvorak: instance. I've never heard a podcast where the
host, the host
Adam Curry: of the worst. I'm gonna get worse gear. She needs
some gear. We got to help help. No. Oh, me with a mic.
John C Dvorak: She needs a mic. Okay. Okay,
Adam Curry: I'll send her a mic. Alright. So this is Brian
O'Shea. Yeah,
Unknown: Brian, my first reaction was I, and I'm not
going to judge the Secret Service's conduct. I will say
that I've heard and I don't know, I have a lot of Secret
Service friends, or they're telling me some of those people
in that detail detail. We're kind of short. And why is that
important? They
were very a lot of them were like midgets like this. Yeah.
And the thing is, it's so I took no offense when my friend Gary
would assign me to, for instance, a former naval
commander, submarine commander, because submarine commanders are
short, I am about five foot eight. And so I could, I can
shield him. But there were a few that were Donald Trump is a tall
man. And I would just think you'd want people at least his
height. But again, I don't know. But I also noticed like, there
are a couple of people I noticed in the crowd that stood out. I
don't know who they were. There's one guy that just
they're standing. That was really weird. But I will say
this, when I got the audio of the when they did their huddle
around him the Secret Service. There's some things that the
media is censoring right now. And I think it's because Secret
Service has been pushing diversity, equity and inclusion
with the goal of having 30% Women by like, 2030 what I did
here in the audio that has been censored, they've just cut the
sound for the split second, but I caught it early. Is you hear
through Donald Trump's mic, one of the female agents saying what
are we doing? Now as a security professional, cannot a secret
service guy but I'm really good. You always know what you're
doing.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, which brings me to another couple of
points that are interesting that me now the media obviously bleep
bleep that out. So I've never heard that I've heard either.
And but I have her I have
Adam Curry: what I what I did here is I heard on your on your
go. Alright, go. And then they did nothing goes that just he's
still on the floor. They're supposed to
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that was weird. There were two other
censorship issues, though. One of them was the New York at this
was was a whole segment of the Goodfellas show and I could have
clipped it, I suppose. But I can just say it they they are
censoring the photo of Trump with his fist in the air and the
flag in the background. And they're taking the flag out
Adam Curry: by request by requests. I have. Unnamed editor
of quote, major news outlet wants the media to stop using
the iconic photo of Trump because it helps Trump.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so the news media is deciding not to use a
real photo that hasn't been altered.
Adam Curry: The whole thing was set up to get that picture.
Don't you know that this whole thing is the Inside Job false
flag.
John C Dvorak: Now that you and I want the other thing that's
been taken out and I do remember seeing this, and then I don't
haven't seen it since, which is one of the incompetent Secret
Service guys had a rifle. And it's I don't think it was one of
the girls. I mean, we do know about the girl can't holster her
gun. Yeah, that's been played up on the Twitter and everyplace
else, she can't get it, she got the gun out and she couldn't put
it back. And this was She held it out and kept it in our
possession of holding it. But there's a shot of a guy whose
deeds he did these people are all confused and this guy's got
this rifle and he had any actually pointed it at Trump.
Adam Curry: You know, just on that, on that topic. What
bothered me is so many people were behind the president
roaming around photographers like zipping across to the front
and not a single, a single reaction from any of the law
enforcement or Secret Service. And maybe maybe we should just
consider that we don't actually live in in the West Wing
television series, and that in reality, the presidents are a
lot less safe than than we do.
Unknown: Er leave,
Adam Curry: you know, it's like, mate. Let me just read this for
a second. Our anonymous lobbyist checked in with me, and he's in
Milwaukee at the RNC. You remember the anonymous lobbyist?
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah.
Adam Curry: He says the amount of security and police presence
in Milwaukee for the RNC is shocking, actually very
impressive. I work for an organization who put on a party
for attendees after the convention last night on
Tuesday. there that basically says this is one week of
partying from lunchtime till the morning hours, just outside the
front of our event building are barriers to stop vehicles from
proceeding into the hard security zone. There are two
security zones around the forum soft and hard which span
multiple blocks in all directions vehicles are allowed
in the hard security zone, but must pass through a designated
checkpoint where a bomb check on the vehicle is performed. In
front of our van building was not a designated vehicle
checkpoint. At the barriers in front of our van building Secret
Service was stationed in an unmarked patrol vehicle. And the
building next to our event building was actually housing
Secret Service officers for the week of the convention. During
setup of the event, broad sunny daylight I was in the front of
the building, assisting with various tasks to prepare for the
party, a man on a moped managed to speed through the security
barrier into the heart zone unabated by the barrier, which
was designed to stop cars of course not mopeds oops. As soon
as the moped got through the barriers, a Secret Service
Officer popped out of his duty vehicle. He walks over to me and
says, Did you see the man on the moped? I said yes. With some
additional trivial comments, the Secret Service officer says,
Well, I didn't want to kill the guy, so I let him through. I
mean, in reality, you're just not as safe as everyone thinks
you are. It's just a fact of life. You know, Trump is not
necessarily safe tonight at the event. I mean, anything could be
hidden in the in the, if they want to get him they'll get him
eventually. Without intervention of some kind. So we need to stop
dreaming that we live in this fantasy of Harrison Ford, and
Secret Service and police and everybody does everything right.
It's just shoot a shot the guy in the moped, yes, right to the
noggin. I mean, seriously, that that's the reality of it. We're
living. We're all living in a fantasy world, you know,
preconditioned by movies and television. It's just not so
it's hard to do this kind of protection. It's hard.
John C Dvorak: So let's just do the damn bungee nose. Take on
some of this bungee. No. All right,
Adam Curry: everybody get ready. Remember, code bond Gino for 10%
off.
Unknown: A high level source reached out to me last night and
said to me that the rooftop that the shooter engaged from as I
told you last night during the Tucker Carlson special and anon
Don Jr. Show was actually supposed to be posted by a local
police department or non secret service counter sniper team. So
we're clear on the facts. There were two counter sniper teams
from the Secret Service to those two were assigned to the scene.
That rooftop was obviously deemed a threat. It was a line
of sight issue. So because they didn't have the assets and I'll
get to why in a few minutes. It involves Dr. Jill Biden, who has
a extremely low threat level relative to Donald Trump. Now,
this is the breaking news right for some reason that local
police but this is not about Monday morning quarterbacking
folks again, this is not a football game. These are
people's lives. For some reason, that local tactical counter
sniper team didn't make it to the roof. What I'm hearing from
sources is that that tactical team position that through a
second floor window, which seeds the high ground now I wish I
wasn't breaking this on my show. The fact that nobody is
comfortable talking to the media because there's such insider
hacks, they're afraid they're all going to be exposed and they
all have to come to me candidly, folks is a travesty. Wait John,
breaking
Adam Curry: news breaking coming to bed. I love you have a good
trip. All right, honey, I love you. Tina is leaving for
Indiana. Oh that yeah, sorry. That was breaking
John C Dvorak: the thing that pointed that Yeah. Sorry about
that joke. Sorry. The point of that was why are you know that
Bungie and I agreed with this and nobody's talking to the
media about this? Because these guys like
Adam Curry: Sorry, right. Now we just got the dog barks. It
wasn't me. The dog is barking. Oh,
John C Dvorak: the the media are partisan hacks and you can't
talk to him. You get busted. You get outed. They're just not
trustworthy. So like that's been Geno's lament Was that why are
they telling me this stuff? I mean, I'm just a talk show host.
And that's where I thought the point where that really was.
Unknown: Um, A
Adam Curry: couple of things. First of all, if we really want
to go back to the genesis of hurting the President, I'm going
to put that squarely on. Kathy Griffin. She kicked it all off
with the Trump severed head. And boy did she pay for it dearly
with her career and with her health. So I just want to send
John C Dvorak: her a hell so I get by someone who's gone
downhill Yeah, I
Adam Curry: mean that so I we don't have to be mad at her but
she did really start this this Phoebe Be quiet. This, there's
the things that bother me. And well, okay, let me let me step
back a second. From looking at all of the videos that people
have sent me all of the personal videos, people taking all the
rumble stuff, all the Bridey on stuff, all the cue stuff. I can
safely say we have a lot of snipers in our country.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I noticed that
Adam Curry: we got a lot of snipers. A lot of just go
John C Dvorak: on Twitter, the number of snipers in the
woodwork. We
Adam Curry: got snot if you need a sniper just come here and
throw a brick. And you got a sniper. I mean, it's
unbelievable. This reeks to me completely of an FBI type
operation which was probably not supposed to include a gun. And I
say this because of the very prototypical TV why we got
people working on the bathroom upset. I say this because the
very prototypical we're gonna get we're gonna we're gonna jack
you up online, probably while you're playing a game, which is
now is now known that he posted some messages on on on Steam
gaming site,
Unknown: baby.
Adam Curry: And we're going to give you some explosive devices,
I'm going to give you a remote control. And when we give you
the signal, you press that button is going to blow up it's
going to be awesome.
John C Dvorak: He did have some explosive devices in his car and
they found some at the house
Unknown: the butler Township police were not responsible for
the security of the building, according tonight, but it's
unclear which local agency was the Secret Service says it was
outside of their security perimeter, and was primarily the
responsibility of local law enforcement. Even though the
rooftop had a vantage point 148 yards from the podium the
AR 15 or variations the M four has a maximum effective range of
656 yards retired
Secret Service agent rich star poli also worked for the
Department of Homeland Security under Trump,
that building was nowhere near the outer perimeter. There is no
excuse for not having someone posted on the roof of that
building.
The Secret Service tells ABC News that no one was put on the
roof because it was dangerously sloped. That argument called
into question because of images like these. The Secret Service
did not respond to NBC News's multiple requests for comment
putting out a statement on X overnight. We are deeply
grateful to the officers who ran towards danger to locate the
gunman and to all our local partners for their unwavering
commitment. 70
It looks like a lot of pieces may be falling into place.
You're also learning there was another moment along the way
that the shooter had been reported as suspicious.
Yeah, last year for officials tell us that rally goers notice
crooks at the metal detectors, pacing and acting strangely,
police then notified the Secret Service. According to a US
official all of this happening before crooks got on that
rooftop. So
Adam Curry: all of this happened an hour before. I mean, this has
FBI written all over it. How many times have they given some
poor sap a remote control? You press this you blow it up? It'll
be awesome. You know, you'd be doing something good. The kid
literally post on Steam, like July 13. I'm making my premiere
and it's gonna be awesome. And I'm paraphrasing. I don't think
they expected him to have the gun and he popped off two shots
before it even it's not like he was an expert assassin. In fact,
according to reports from his schoolmates, he was a horrible
shock, like laughably bad, and kicked him out of the gun. Boy,
I
John C Dvorak: never heard a laughably bad Yes, I
Adam Curry: had laughably, but laughably bad is the reporting I
have. So and So then, what really bugs me is that they
start to spin the narrative. And the first narrative which popped
up a day ago was this naughty one.
Unknown: Tonight, a new report that security around Donald
Trump was increased in recent weeks, because US intelligence
learned of an Iranian plot to kill him. According to three
officials briefed on the matter, raising even more questions
about how a 20 year old gunman in rural Pennsylvania with no
apparent connect To the Iranian plot was able to get on a
rooftop last Saturday. And
Adam Curry: so not so they try it. Oh, it was Iran. It was an
Iranian plot everybody. It was Iran who did this. That's
narrative spin number one, which of course results in hilarious
gas from the mainstream media. Listen to this morning.
Unknown: We're learning more about the increased security
around former President Trump before Saturday's assassination
attempt. Yeah,
it all comes as US intelligence directed and Iranian plot. But
Adam Curry: she literally said, Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Direct in Iranian plot,
Unknown: yeah, it all comes as US intelligence directed and
Iranian plot. Truth
Adam Curry: wants to come out. So that was that was yesterday.
Today, though.
John C Dvorak: This is good one.
Adam Curry: This is the new one. This is this goes back to he was
a gamer. He was an INCEL. New
Unknown: this morning, a source tells CNN that the gunman wrote
on the gaming platform steam apparently before quote, July
30, will be my premiere. Watch as it unfolds. CNN senior
national security analyst, former assistant secretary for
the Department of Homeland Security, Julia Cayambe, is with
us now. So what do you think about that there was some kind
of cryptic, somewhat cryptic posting, from the shooter.
Yeah, so he knew what's interesting about all the
information we're getting out is now is that he knew that there
was some performative, violent action that he wanted to do,
right. So there's, because he's looking at the DNC dates, he's
looking at the Trump dates, he's, he's sort of searching all
around. He then focuses on a relatively close event for him
geographically, which is Trump. So we know that for reasons that
might be you know, psychological, historical, for
him, cultural, he's isolated, I keep looking for a moment to get
his headline. What's interesting is, he doesn't care what the
headline is, I mean, in other words, his search history now is
showing someone who's sort of scrambling for an ideology. And
that's what so I think you for this kind of political
assassination attempt is, we generally have a mode of
relatively quickly they either don't like the candidate, right,
so or trying to do something to impress someone to say, the
Ronald Reagan assassination attempt. And so I think we're
going to learn a lot more and what we may learn, John, is that
we can't put a nice bow around this.
Adam Curry: Yes, you can. Insell loner, no, no girlfriends,
bullied at school playing video games, wanted to make a name for
himself had no political motive, very well done, well done. And
just as stupid and bumbling as, as the Secret Service, and no
disrespect. I mean, it's just the fact you know, half of these
people probably don't train enough in a in a real life
situation. You know, one of our producers also mailed in, well,
you know, the DEI hire, she's probably our first real live
event, you know that something really happened. And maybe, you
know, she was adrenaline's flowing, couldn't reholster her
weapon. But that's because we all believe in the movies. So
then we have this other fantastic, fantastic quote from
The Secret Service Director Cheatle why no one was stationed
on the roof, which has just resulted in hilarious memes
Secret
Unknown: Service Director is saying a decision was made early
on not to place any personnel on the rope. That building in
particular has a slope roof at its highest point, she said, and
so you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered
there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped
roof. It's
Adam Curry: hilarious. The memes like cows on the roof, you know,
John C Dvorak: that roof is hardly even sloped. No, it's,
Adam Curry: it's ridiculous. So everybody's full of crap.
Everybody in the whole veil has just dropped has been lifted
really? Like oh, oh, it turns out, you're not really safe.
Give me a break.
John C Dvorak: But you remember when Trump first got elected in
2016 He didn't trust the Secret Service and decided to have his
own people. Yes.
Adam Curry: Now it's my understanding he still has his
own people. It could be but I don't know which ones my
understanding is he has special forces which may have been the
military guys who who also see who pointed
John C Dvorak: the gun at it. Yeah. See pretty ineffective.
Now I have
Adam Curry: two clips. And by the way, I just want to say
again, Secret Service they all did shield him and that does
take a certain amount of who takes a lot of guts so and you
know I don't want to disparage people. I just being realistic
about this.
John C Dvorak: You have we have we have our to shooter new
details. Let's get this out of the way. Okay,
Unknown: we're learning new details about the suspected
shooter who tried to assassinate former US President Donald
Trump, or authority say Thomas Matthew crooks was scheduled to
work the day of the shooting, but took the day off. Law
enforcement said crooks first arouse suspicion three hours
before the shooting at the rally venue when he pre our security
are carrying a rangefinder. The binocular type devices are used
by hunters or target shooters to measure distances when setting
up a long range shot
Adam Curry: as amazing it's amazing. Hey, what's that rate
arrange a rangefinder. Okay, carry on.
John C Dvorak: Come on. And the other only other clip I've got
on this is Butler Police Department clip.
Adam Curry: Whereas Yes, God is here. Meanwhile,
Unknown: the butler Police Department has confirmed its
officers confronted the gunman on the roof outside the Trump
rally last Saturday shortly before he fired the former
president coming close to killing him more from MPRs
Martin Kosti
In a written statement the butler Township Police
Department says its officers were assigned traffic duty
outside the rally traffic but they broke free from that to
respond to a report of a suspicious mail around a
business called American glass research. They didn't find him
at first, then one officer hoisted another to the roof
where the gunman pointed his rifle at him, causing the
officer to let go and fall. The statement says the gunman opened
fire quote Moments later, it's still not clear whether the
Secret Service's Protection Plan relied on the sheriff's office
state police or other local officers to safeguard that
rooftop.
Adam Curry: So you know and you know me as a conspiracy
therapist, I'm looking at everything. You know that that
weird Q anon guy was in the audience. He didn't move. He
knew it was coming. Q Q was all set up is it's all it's all. I
mean, so just for the record, I completely believe that this
happened. This kid was probably not even supposed to fire it's
it feels completely like an FBI.
John C Dvorak: Your thesis I liked the idea that this was an
FBI another one another six weeks cycle FBI scam
Adam Curry: not meant not meant to actually harm the president
they
John C Dvorak: have this and the kid because he was he was so I
guess spun up by the FBI. That he decided you know, he's going
to freelance instead. They picked the wrong guy.
Adam Curry: They well he even said that you got the wrong guy.
He said it on that video. That's right. You got the wrong guy.
I'm not just gonna detonate some bombs, which probably as far as
I can tell, we're not detonate double, or deaths and double,
which would be typical, which should be very and you haven't
heard Oh, yeah, they had to detonate him because they were
bombs. No, he didn't. They didn't blow them up in the in
the detonation unit. Now it's like is a little unclear about
that. Okay, fine. Then we have the photo of the bullet. This is
another point of contention. People saying that, it's,
there's no reason there's no reason for this shot to have
ever been made. And I'll explain why as we have Doug Mills from
the New York Times who has been a photographer of presidents, I
think since forever, forever, ever. He explains his settings.
And he does say something interesting here.
Unknown: My name is Doug Mills. I've been covering politics
since 1983. And I was yesterday covering President Trump's rally
in Butler, Pennsylvania. I was taking pictures and that's when
the Pops started happening. And I just happened to have my
finger on the shutter and I heard the Pops and just kept
shooting. I didn't know what I captured. But when I got to my
laptop, I could see that bullet flying behind his head because
it's definitely not in the frames right before it. And it's
not an afterwards it's only that one frame. And I was shooting an
8,000th of a second. It captured that streak behind him. So
Adam Curry: the so the theory goes no reason he was shooting
at 1/8000 of a second. He wanted to get the shot of Trump's head
exploding. I'm not a photography expert,
John C Dvorak: but a lot of that's interesting. I haven't
heard that angle. Oh, yeah. Well, so
Adam Curry: first of all, he says here like I looked at my
laptop. In an interview on NBC, which was too boring and too
long. He says he sent it to his editor and his editor called him
and said hey, you don't you won't believe what you have. So
there's a little discrepancy in his story there. But it's my
understanding that if you are photographing in a very bright
daylight environment and you want to blur out the background,
you want to have your object very sharp that 1/8000 of a
second is not completely out of the out of the range of ideas.
Now you know more about it than I do.
John C Dvorak: is pretty high shutter speed. But you can get
some you can get some effects that you otherwise wouldn't have
by shooting at that speed, that's a very high speed. I'm,
you know, if he is he's a professional photographer, he
wants to shoot a lot of shots. He's probably shooting like a
maniac. I mean,
Adam Curry: like, no more. It's more. I mean, these things do
spray and pray. That's what you do. That's why he got That's
John C Dvorak: right, exactly. There's two kinds of
photographers I've run into over the years who, because I've had
a lot of photos taken for one magazine or another. And there's
two kinds of photographers you run into. The one is the like
you just described, they take it, they sit you down, and they
will take, I don't know, 200 pictures of you. Yeah. And then
they'll, and then they show you the proofs and the doll on the
sheet, little bitty pictures. And then you circled a couple
that you might like, or he'll say, here's the one I want to
use. And maybe you're allowed to select it or not depends on the
photographer. Most of the time, they'd let you pick one that you
don't look at any idiot. And then there's the other kind and
I had this done for my when I did the telecommunications book
in the 80s this guy he and this is the other kind of
photographer and this is the artist. He shoots an eight by 10
Negative Yeah, on a big giant camera set you up. Brings a
makeup person in they stand you there.
Adam Curry: We got to do a Polaroid first Polaroid.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember the Polaroid on the hustle. The
hospital for lighting the hospital blah, you put the
Polaroid back on it first not a Hasselblad This is an I know a
10 I know I'm just telling you. Yeah, Hasselblad guys are pretty
close to the same thing. Because they got a big negative. So the
guy sets up shop and he's got this big camera, they put you up
there make you up, you're probably I don't remember the
Polaroid but he probably did that just to get the lighting to
make sure it looked okay. And then takes one picture. And it's
perfect. That's a different kind of photographer. And so you have
the two got two different styles. But, but shooting one
1000 means you weren't really trying to get a lot of shots
off. I'm sure this shooting that, you know, maximum frames
per second blank, blank, blank blank.
Adam Curry: I mean, there's a lot of people very suspicious of
this. If that's all you got then okay, you wanted to get the
exploding head shot of the year, you know, but I just exploding
John C Dvorak: headshot would never be you know. So that
doesn't make any sense. They're not nobody's going to print a
shot of a guy's head exploding.
Adam Curry: So now is the next part of the theory. Now and this
one I actually wanted to call up Horowitz. But then I found a
clip. This is the the wealth fund management that shorted the
d j t stock. Yeah, the day before the shooting 12 million
shares, which was not really a short it was a put, which is
technically
John C Dvorak: it's basically a short E. Okay.
Adam Curry: And Jason Goodman called and got someone on the
phone. Hello,
Unknown: Alex. Is this
Mr. Wagner? Yes. My name is Jason Goodman. We don't know
each other. But I was calling to see if you're aware of this
information that's going around the internet, about Austin
private wealth, shorting 12 million shares of Trump media
stock is this. Is there anything to this? There's a lot of
information about your company going around right now. Right?
I don't think so. It was a reporting error. So if you go
back and look at that same baling, you'll see it show that
it was a clerical error in the violin. Well,
how did that occur? I mean, were you
trying to short fewer shares than that? It's how could such
an error like this, it seems like a remarkable coincidence
for that dramatic of an error to occur the day before this
historic incident, doesn't it?
So the reporting is generated June 30. And it was a clerical
error. I do believe we'll be releasing something to our
website with more detail on a bid if you go look at the
updated piling up the proper, proper data in there.
Adam Curry: So that's something for Horowitz but I'm sure you
can tell.
John C Dvorak: I kind of talked about it. Yeah. About we talked
about the stock and his response to the shooting which if
skyrocketed the next day was that squeezing shorts. Well,
that well it was a put the puts a really just get wiped out, you
know, it's not like you had to cover yours, right?
Adam Curry: You don't even get don't get wiped out a put is is
a is a fraction of the total share amount correct?
John C Dvorak: Because it's basically an option is stock
that's borrowed and sold and it's as an option option, right?
So you lose your option. You basically it's not like actually
when you actually short you can lose You're asking
Adam Curry: your house and everything. Yeah, you can
John C Dvorak: lose a lot of money if you're short against
run up, I think, panic and you sell bad you buy Oh,
Adam Curry: they also wrote call options. I think that a straddle
going.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, that would make sense. But I mean, there's
these operations do that constantly.
Adam Curry: But the second part of it is that this awesome
wealth management fund, they donate a lot of money to Jews.
So you know, I'm just saying that to do with it, I'm just
saying, I'm just saying it was all kinds of stuff like that.
So, so people are really going, sadly, a bit off the rails with
this. Whereas I think the only explanation I can come to is,
it's almost like Occam's razor. We've seen this from the FBI,
the remote makes total sense.
John C Dvorak: The FBI immediately took over the
investigation. Of
Adam Curry: course they did. And it will, you know, who knows if
this will ever come out, because typically they do a report and
they say, Well, I'm a confidential informant person
and, you know, call in I talked to this kid for two months, and,
you know, that would make nothing but it has all the
hallmarks everything to make a big Bloom to make, you know,
make some noise. Now, could that have been pro Trump may be I
don't know. But there has always been a conspiracy against Trump,
there is a conspiracy and there always will be the literal
definition to breathe together. There is a conspiracy and it's
massive. Its massive, they hate the guy would they I mean,
John C Dvorak: a large contingent of the of the of the
government yes of the government itself hates the guy this is
true. The stock market and making any friends by making it
by putting JD Vance in there who's who probably is more
against the administrative state and Trump himself
Adam Curry: well, the stock market responded very favorably
to Trump surviving this assassination.
John C Dvorak: Yes, the death it's fast it's gone way higher
than I expected it to. I mean, it's up I think the Dow is at 42
Now it's it should I am stunned is over 40 is amazing. It's
amazing. It's just Yeah, but But it's over over heated our
anyway.
Adam Curry: Just for just because I love George Carlin
wanted to play his 42nd bid on assassinations, which is always
just fun to listen to We miss him assassination.
Unknown: You know what's interesting about assassination?
Well, not only does it change those popularity polls in a big
fucking hurry. But it's also interesting to notice who it is
we assassinate you ever notice who it is not to think of who it
is we kill. It's always people who've told us to live together
in harmony and try to love one another. Jesus Gandhi, Lincoln,
John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar
Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon, they also try to live together
peacefully
in the fucking head
apparently we're not ready for that.
That's difficult behavior for us.
Adam Curry: Miss George,
John C Dvorak: we need to wait that is a good bit
Adam Curry: we need to every couple of years and I need to
give you massive props. You called it You nailed it right on
the money. President Trump walks in on the first day of the
Republican National Convention with a big bandage on his ear.
You could not have been more right about this.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, why would you not do that?
Adam Curry: It was it was I mean, it was just it was so big
though.
John C Dvorak: There was criticized for their fact
there's a funny meme going around I might put it in the
next my pillow says no, the meme is I don't understand why he's
wearing such a big bandage what's what's he afraid of? And
then the person saying this The Meme Meme or has got a big giant
mask on Yeah, I've
Adam Curry: seen COVID mask so here guys. I'm sorry. I
John C Dvorak: was just gonna say the this became with some of
the MSNBC and some of these other I don't know if it's CNN
and MSNBC virtually. They started bitching about this
bandage. And, and so they had to get Ronnie Jackson or Jones
whatever's there. JOHNSON I can't remember his last name.
Jackson, I think who's Trump's still Trump's doctor? Yes,
Jackson check. He had to put the giant bandage on because the
nature of the wound is such that because at the end, that skin is
very susceptible. This is just really just cartilage. Yeah, it
is. He said Jackson said that if you touched it just touched it.
It would start bleeding so you had to protect it with a big
bandage.
Adam Curry: So Trump comes walking in and this is CNN with
former Fox host, Chris Wallace, and Jake Tapper, and even they
could not deny the electrifying moment that it was Chris Winston
Unknown: Churchill famously said nothing in life is so
exhilarating as to be shot at without effect. And you can see
that today the idea that just hours ago, a few days ago, this
man and assassin's bullet whizzed by him, hit him in the
ear, inches from his temple, and it'd be just by the slightest
fraction of an inch. He survived shot without effect. And you can
see the, the joy of this crowd, I gotta tell you, as somebody
who's been covering these, these conventions since 1964, that may
have been the most electric moment I ever saw that was quite
extraordinary. You can do whether you like the man or not,
that was
well, I mean, this is a crowd these 10s of 1000s of people who
love Donald Trump, and they, this, this figure that that
figures so prominently in their lives,
and it's so interesting tonight, there has been zero talk about
the Democrats and rhetoric and political rhetoric and blaming
the media, why that's all been talked about. Evidence, a
miracle. And I think that's what most of these people view is
that it is by the grace of God, that Donald Trump is here
tonight and representing them going forward. So
Adam Curry: that was kind of interesting. Trump's first truth
or truth, truth post truth was, this was God alone who saved me.
And the certainly the first day of the convention, there was a
lot of God talk two
Unknown: days ago, evil came for the man we admire and love so
much. I thank God that His hand was on President Trump. Because
on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle.
But an American lion got back up on his feet.
Continuing on the religious theme and actual man of God paid
tribute to Trump's rhetorical style, much to the former
president's July,
you're gonna be so blessed. You're gonna be tired of being
blessed. I guarantee it's believe me.
Adam Curry: That guy was pretty funny.
John C Dvorak: Did you see him? Yeah, you know, the whole
convention has been a tear jerker, the way they
orchestrated and I have to say that I have seen a lot of these
conventions. I went to one once when I was in high school, which
was that where Wallace was, it was it was it was a long time
ago. Was I think was the last San Francisco convention
whatever the case was you that you can get into these things. I
didn't remember ever being checked for guns or anything but
you get in as you go it this is the era of the all the signs
used to be on sticks. I noticed this two things that yes,
convention. Yes, there's no stick, no sticks. People just
holding different signs up as though they run the like, card
section of a college football game where they have these
different cards, they lift this way, okay, lift up card number
three, and they lift up to one of the cards and every night is
a different card. Because they've had this they've made
this convention thematic with a different theme for every night.
And they preface all the speeches, all the big, big boy
speeches, with the general public coming out and giving
their stories, and they're just heartbreaking. And they just to
make it sound like the country is falling apart. And it's very
well done. I think this is the best orchestrated convention
I've ever seen. And so far as showmanship is concerned, you
can see Trump's the TV background and you know, he's
talking to Bert Burnett and some of his buddies to make the
design to sing the way it is. It's spectacular. The
Adam Curry: last night they had the Goldstar families 13 of them
who lost kids in Afghanistan home man they all went up there
and said Joe Biden lied He said not a single serviceman or woman
lost lost their life on his watch. He has never said my
child's name out loud and then they all went you know, they
said the names out loud and the crowd said their names out loud.
I mean, that was just like an even CNN I didn't clip all of
that but even CNN was like, well, that's a political you
know deathblow right there which it was a lot
John C Dvorak: of it was a I would say all ever all three
days so far and tonight OB Trump's night have been like
that. They've been just it's been. I've never seen anything
so Well done. They
Adam Curry: had the worst speech I think was Don JR. He's not a
good orator, but he did bring out his granddaughter. I mean,
Troy's great brought as daughter Trump's grant and she gave her
grandpa's cool type speech was fantastic, brilliant move. JD
Vance made some as a huge, huge mistake. He forgot that this was
being televised. He was talking to the audience. He was playing
on the crowd. He forgot that he was being he was on television.
That was
John C Dvorak: a bad and see it as a faux pas unnecessarily. I
noticed about him was that he needs his elocution could be
improved. He could have a little deeper voice and yeah, he sounds
a little thin. But I basically liked it. But he did. You're
right. And the artists do different kinds of chants like
Jay Dee's mom's mom was there that was fantastic. The JDS
mommy they would they would start chanting different things
they'd make up in the audience and then JD was merging, ma'am,
ah, grandma and all the rest of it. I actually watched I thought
I thought he was is no advance. I wasn't thinking they were
going to pick him. And I thought it was because of the beard. For
one reason, but everybody's treated like a
Adam Curry: Mimi likes, Jr. has a beard. I don't understand why
people say no, I
John C Dvorak: don't know what I was thinking when I made that
assertion because Eric has a beard. Did Yeah. He has a beard.
Yeah. They're all bearded. Yeah. So maybe it's just Trump doing
is, you know, sleight of hand, but I heard JD Vance. Two days
earlier on the Hannity radio show. I was driving to the
store. And Hannity was on with JD Vance. And I had never He is
quick witted. He's fast. He's sharp. He was holding his more
than holding his own. He was dominating Sean Hannity on the
radio show. And he was just I'm listening to him going, oh, boy,
this is news to me. And when I heard him on the on the radio
just going, you know, just at the sounding, I would say,
competing with Kellyanne Conway from talking to Mike. I was
impressed and so I when I heard I saw I was waiting for this
speech. And it is EQ could have been maybe it could have been
improved. But you know, they could have given a little big
bottom. Running through some some. You mean
Adam Curry: what I give you I give you a big bottom twice a
week bottom. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: So that I now I think, Okay, this guy's probably
okay. And he is only 39. And he and he does. He's definitely a
Trumper. And he's got the same basic concepts and ideas even
though the Cole Wallace just calls him a brown noser.
Adam Curry: Well, here's, here's JD Vance. I think this is the
Ohio senatorial race, where you know, he's, his feet are held to
the fire. You are never Trumper you call him an eight hole. But
borderline Nazi, which he did. And here's JD Vance.
Unknown: You've admitted you've changed your mind on Donald
Trump. But in the past, you've said quote, I'm a Never Trump
guy, quote, My God, what an idiot and, quote, God wants
better of us all statements. You have either said or tweeted
about Donald Trump at some point, the question you have 60
seconds, why should Trump voters Trump supporters? Vote for you?
Yeah, look, I
mean, all of us say stupid things. And I happen to say
stupid things very publicly. You know, I've been very public
about the fact that I voted for the president 2020 that I was
wrong about the president back in 2015 2016. And that he has
been the greatest president of my lifetime. For the very simple
reason. There are many, but one very important reason is that he
revealed the corruption in Washington DC, I mean, who would
have believed five years ago, six years ago that the FBI would
actually investigate illegally get an illegal wiretap on a
sitting US presidential candidate, we saw that Trump
revealed it. And he revealed in a way that showed us the sticks
of the fight, which is why I'm running for this office in the
first place. And one thing I'd point out is that, you know, I
was I was I was just north of 30 years old, when I said a lot of
those things. Lots changed in my life. I reengaged. With my
faith. I got baptized three years ago, I've had three kids
since then, you know, a lot different. And one of the things
that's different is that I did change my mind about Donald
Trump. He was a great president. And I think at the end of the
day, one of the things this race presents is an opportunity who
actually agrees with Trump on the core issues of trade of
immigration who's willing to fight for an America First
foreign policy? I think it's clearly me.
Adam Curry: Interesting, got baptized. Yeah, he
John C Dvorak: also did a well, I know you respond to that. He
also had another interview. I think maybe it was on Hannity.
He kind of blamed the media for brainwashing him against Trump.
Oh, I
Adam Curry: wish we had that one. I
John C Dvorak: wouldn't. I wish I had it, too. Wouldn't surprise
me. That makes nothing but sense.
Adam Curry: So A couple other people showed up. The most
interesting one to me was Amber Rose. Amber Rose, who has a huge
social media following. I think mainly for her boobs. And she's
black or mixed race. And so she came out and by the way, she's
most famous for dating Kanye West. That's really what oh,
just her. Yes, she
John C Dvorak: did. She was good. The
Unknown: first person I knew who supported Donald Trump was my
father. I was shocked. My entire family is racially diverse. And
I believe the left wing propaganda that Donald Trump was
a racist. My father said, No, he's not Amber, what are you
talking about? And when I insisted, he said, prove it. So
it's approved my father wrong. I did my research and looked into
all things Donald Trump. People have to do their research. I
watched all the rallies. And I started meeting so many of you
his red hat wearing supporters.
I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're
black, white, gay or straight. It's all love.
It's all my baby.
And that's when it hit me. These are my people. This is where I
belong.
I let go of my fear of judgment, of being misunderstood of
getting attacked by the left and I put the red hat on too.
Adam Curry: So this was this really shook a lot of people up.
Here's a quick reaction from the daily blast. People have
Unknown: a right to change their minds. I think flexibility of
thought is very important. But right now, this moment, to me
when it comes to Amber Rose is giving the short line. I've
spoken about the short line a lot because when you're a person
of color, you're often enticed with more revenue, more
eyeballs, more of a following if you do the contrary and point of
view to people like you and from the people who don't because you
stand out. Exactly. I see. And that's what it was giving to me
last night.
Adam Curry: She doesn't really care. Here's Van Jones. He had
his own take,
Unknown: but what I would say is would you call them in CO aid
coalition. I see it as the Republicans are trying to eat
our cookies. We've had some cookies called the black vote
and they're trying to take those cookies we've had the labor vote
they're trying to take those cookies. Cookies man cookies
John C Dvorak: that's a good one.
Adam Curry: Take it our cookies. Oh no.
John C Dvorak: So another person similar to their her speech? I
thought that was really got the audience were devastated Jewish
student from Harvard. Oh, last night Oh, Mastodon
Adam Curry: went crazy. Dog these bringing into you to the
bringing into uterus. Literally, literally, literally. Oh, no.
John C Dvorak: The biggest anti semitic operation there is.
Adam Curry: It's unbelievable. You mean the fediverse?
John C Dvorak: The fediverse Yeah, to federate, versus I call
it Mastodon because it's bested on
Adam Curry: Yeah. And then you had the two Americans whose son
is is a hostage and they they were very unsuccessful at
getting the crowd to do bring them home.
John C Dvorak: And they didn't get bring them home started but
it didn't go very far. Now the
Adam Curry: rhythm was all off was it was not good. One other
observation. Now Mike Johnson who just has a Cheshire Cheshire
Cat vibe about him? And I don't like
John C Dvorak: not you Mitch. I never thought of it. I did
something about his stupid grin. Not like I didn't recognize now
that you mentioned Cheshire cat that's exactly what it is. And
Adam Curry: did you see the hammer? The gavel? No that
things as big as his head. It's it's the biggest gavel I've ever
seen anywhere.
John C Dvorak: I have a short clip with by Johnson. Okay. This
is called another investigation as an NPR clip. House
Unknown: Speaker Mike Johnson is launching a bipartisan Task
Force to investigate the attempted assassination of
former President Trump appears Claudio Gusau supports
congressional briefings are also being held with officials about
the shooting. Speaker
Johnson told Fox News that investigators will be able to
move faster than a traditional committee and have the thority
to force witnesses to testify, there's not
a lot of the procedural hurdles and we'll have subpoena
authority for that task force as well. It'll be compelled to
Republicans and Democrats to get down to the bottom of this
quickly, so the American people can get the answers that they
deserve.
Johnson's Task Force is expected to be part of several
congressional probes that will look into security failures
posed by the shooting at the Trump rally in western
Pennsylvania
Adam Curry: now, just to counter your slight snide remarks,
despite the fact that he's a believer. I do not like Mike
Johnson. I
John C Dvorak: don't like him either. I do. I do like the fact
that he's political enough that he was the one sitting next to
JD Vance's mom, who's 10 years sober as they like to keep
pointing out. And he was kibitzing whether Yeah. And it
was it was it was cute to see because he was, yeah, he's
smart. That way. You know, he's smart.
Adam Curry: We watched Hillbilly Elegy I'd never seen it had not
read the book. Impressive story. And I'm going to presume it's
true. But so many people Oh, no, he's manufactured. He's
manufactured. Where I came away. Have you seen the movie or read
the book? No, I
John C Dvorak: have not seen the movie. I've not read the book.
Adam Curry: I came away from it thinking Wow, seriously, only in
America. In America, can you go from from the backwoods of well,
really Kentucky but also Ohio? You know, what, what people
would call white trash? Yeah, I
John C Dvorak: would say what he's definitely would be called
white trash,
Adam Curry: you know, and then go into after 911 Go into the
Marines. And, and then with GI Bill was able to barely scrape
by in Yale. You know, the whole story is nice. Firstly, went to
Ohio, Ohio. I'm sorry, the Ohio State.
John C Dvorak: Where Yes. A person always says,
Adam Curry: Now is there a football thing between Wisconsin
and Ohio?
John C Dvorak: No, it was the football thing is between Ohio
State and Michigan and Michigan bring it? Yeah. Okay. And it's a
major major hatred between the two schools. Hey, another
Adam Curry: thing I do like he owns over $100,000 in Bitcoin go
JD
John C Dvorak: you'd like that go Jay dad and being baptized
would be your your two things. Well,
Adam Curry: Guy on that note, what do you think so Trump said
he has completely rewritten his speech. He threw it out. He
said, I'm going in a completely different direction. Besides
Hulk Hogan showing up tonight, which would be awesome.
John C Dvorak: It couldn't be by the way Trump could be Miss
directing. He does that constantly could be. In fact, in
fact, I'd never realized it until the the Trump
granddaughter came up to 17 year old and gave that little speech
and talked about him trying to psych her out on the golf
course. Being kind of an a hole, which is what sports guys do to
each other. Well, she's
Adam Curry: she's teaching her she's teaching her to be
competitive. That's what a good grandpa Papaw does. Don't your a
grandpa, don't mess with your kid or with your grandkid all
the time. You do the best you can to get them prepared for
life and you'll be able to figure out hoaxes
John C Dvorak: that were the parents won't do any of the good
stuff. No,
Adam Curry: that's why you give the your grandson now
noisemakers right for his birthday. Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. You want to always give kiss? Drum Kit is my
favorite gift drum.
Adam Curry: Exactly, exactly. So I believe Elon Musk may be
speaking tonight. That'll be interesting. So let's just go
back to JD Vance for a second. I think he's a good pick. Even
though you are sure was going to be Marco Rubio, no doubt about
it. Looking
John C Dvorak: back on it, largely because of the beard
again. i What were you thinking, man?
Adam Curry: What were you thinking?
John C Dvorak: I was thinking that Trump was was you know, you
weren't course I never heard Trump say this could have been
you heard it. Yeah. Yes, suckered suckered by the media.
So what else is new? I mean, this is what they do. And so I
have some JD Vance clips. Oh, yeah. Let's do that with Misty,
give us a little insight here. Oh, I only have two actually.
They're both from NPR and this talking about his techie does
why thing must go be there. This JD Vance? techie.
Unknown: The Republicans night two of the GOP convention was a
night of rivals coming together to back Donald Trump, including
his final primary opponent to drop out Nikki Haley.
I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear. Donald Trump
has my strong endorsement period.
Tonight, Ohio Senator JD Vance will accept his party's vice
presidential nomination. You might be
aware of Vance's roots in Appalachia, thanks to his best
selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy is less known or his roots in
the world of Silicon Valley and venture capital. As NPR is Bobby
Allen reports Vance has close ties to tech billionaires could
supercharge Trump's reelection bid supercharge shortly
after JD Vance published his memoir Hillbilly Elegy in 2016.
Another career began to rise in San Francisco. He was hired to
work in a venture capital firm run by Peter Thiel, the co
founder of PayPal, who is one of the most powerful figures in
Silicon Valley. Here's writer Max chavkin, who wrote a book on
teal that mentions Vance
Vance worked for teal for a relatively short amount of time,
less than two years and then moved to Ohio, where he
continued to invest but clearly was starting to, you know, think
about his political future.
But before his political life even started he launched his own
VC fund with backing from Thiel and other tech heavy hitters
like investor Marc Andreessen. In other words, he was compiling
a deep pocketed tech roster that came in handy when he ran for
Senate in Ohio and one with financial help from Thiel and
other tech investors. And now as Trump's vice president pic Vance
is tapping his tech billionaire contacts once again and a
growing group of them are embracing the mega movement says
author jaskin So
Adam Curry: this is also quite controversial the to connection
and so the messages I receive are keys is Intel is is Palantir
T IL is it's no good. This Oh, no, he's all in with the
intelligence agencies. He supported by them. He's bringing
in he's a horrible guy. And I'm thinking my uncle was one of the
highest guys in the CIA. Why are you listening to me if you think
that way?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I would say the same thing. i Why is anyone
listening to you?
Adam Curry: Yeah. Really stop. Now, the
John C Dvorak: other thing about this read, there's a second clip
and now I actually have a third. Well, I'm going to play an inner
rate intermediate exam, because when Trump picked this just a
very short clip is only a couple seconds. But this is where the
NPR says that they that Trump named his dick.
Unknown: So Trump named Vance is pick on Monday, you have been
speaking to Republicans in Milwaukee, how's he being
received?
Adam Curry: Let me hear that again.
Unknown: So Trump named Vance's pick on Monday, you have been
speaking to Republicans in Milwaukee, how's he been?
Adam Curry: You know, that's what you want to hear. Maybe? I
don't know. I
John C Dvorak: you know, I listened to it. I slowed it down
and everything and he definitely says Pick it pick is what I
heard. But if you dropped the idea that he says Dick, and you
listen to it, he says dick. Yeah, yeah. It's the blue dress
dress. Gold. Silver. Yes. I mean, let's play the second part
of the JD Vance clip. It's
Unknown: tempting to paint us with a broad brush and say all
of Silicon Valley is getting behind the former president. But
what's actually happening is that Silicon Valley's right wing
has been activated and persuaded to open their pockets.
A new tech align political action committee called America
PAC was unveiled just after Trump announced Vance as his
running mate. Elon Musk is poised to flood the group with
cash venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz,
also planned to contribute on the duo's podcast on Tuesday,
Horowitz said he wished they didn't have to pick aside but
the future of our business, the future of technology, new
technology and the future of America's literally at stake.
Many big players in Silicon Valley traditionally sat on the
sidelines for presidential elections or voted for
Democrats. But now that has changed. Samuel Hammond is an
economist at the right leaning Think Tank foundation for
American innovation. He says many of the new financial
backers of Trump and Vance are placing big bets on two
industries artificial intelligence and crypto
pays off depends entirely on the policy of the US government.
chavkin,
the book author who is also a reporter at Bloomberg
Businessweek says there is a fear that AI policy and the
Biden White House will be too heavy handed.
They perceived, you know, to some extent, I think correctly,
that Joe Biden less so than pretty much any president that
they have encountered in their lifetimes, is not as willing to
accommodate them
newly added to the Republican Party platform just in time for
the RNC, repealing Biden's AI executive order that attempts to
provide some modicum of AI oversight. Oh, I
Adam Curry: can't Well, we'll talk about AI in a moment
because,
John C Dvorak: uh, you know, Silicon Valley's mostly
Democrats know
Adam Curry: what not to hold on a second before Obama. They were
all reading Ayan Rand and they were all wearing Rolexes and
then they
John C Dvorak: came along and they all became Democrats and
they became staunch Democrats that John Doe is always a
Democrat.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he doesn't count. He doesn't count. Well,
he's VC
John C Dvorak: you know, and he's getting most of those
Kleiner guys are Democrats, persons a Democrat, they're all
Democrats, but they
Adam Curry: were all reading iron Rand and talking all big
Rolexes and fast cars were still they
John C Dvorak: were still supporting the Democratic
candidates and they all were jobs had me to upset his house
yeah, Tim Cook had big, you know, money gathering operations
and
Adam Curry: other things that
John C Dvorak: Zuckerberg put a bunch of 400 million bucks or
some ridiculous amount of money into the in Wisconsin.
Adam Curry: We just put it this way. Silicon Valley are
globalists, they're not bright or left really the globalist
whoever has the best globalist
Unknown: path
Adam Curry: they'll take. That's what they can argue about that.
No, absolutely true. That's that's what
John C Dvorak: they really are. They tend to be Democrats in
terms of where they give their money. I mean, in
Adam Curry: fact, if we just really think about it, the
Republicans, Republican Party, the Democrats, it just you get
lower taxes. And that's about the only thing so far until
Trump came along and he stopped wars, which is a big problem. So
he's gonna have to deal with with that without stopping war
business, he's
John C Dvorak: gonna have to still stopping Wars is not good
for business. Well, unless
Adam Curry: you ramp up China, which he's always been, he's
always been an anti China guy. And, you know, we need big
beautiful ships subs that go so deep deeper than others. Now
that I'm thinking tonight, and this really hit me because I saw
Tucker did a speech. Why are you laughing? Why you're laughing?
John C Dvorak: Because Tucker has been showing up everywhere.
Exactly. He
Adam Curry: shows up the first night. He's right there.
John C Dvorak: And he was right there. He was up into in that
booth where Trump was a VIP
Adam Curry: box. Yeah. So so why is Tucker there? Why I think
Tucker, then he's been hanging out with Trump a lot. Now he
goes to the UFC fights, there's Tucker. You know, Tucker is
around Trump a lot in sightless call it social settings. So I
think he has his ear.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. I was looking at the damage. And I cut
down the
Adam Curry: background and he drops. So so just taking him at
his word, which is usually a mistake, and maybe even some art
of the of war. Perhaps Trump is going to change the battlefield
tonight. He has said that he doesn't want to go into this
whole mode about, you know, whatever he was going to do is
it was he was, he was going to burn everything down who's going
to, you know, just slash and burn the Democrats. He says he's
going to change it all up. So just at face value with Vance,
even Mike Johnson, with his close call with what everyone is
saying at this convention,
Unknown: Tucker, again, and again, and again, throughout
history, there are forces within every society because they
reside in the human heart, that are against people, they are
dedicated to the destruction of people and the civilizations
that people built. And if you pay any attention at all, to
history, you will recognize it. It's like wait a second, people
are saying exactly the same things, the climate people, the
AI people, the transhumanist people, the Biden administration
are seeing exactly the same kinds of things, the same themes
that every other movement have this kind of they had a million
different names for them. Throughout history, we're also
saying, just the first thing, I noticed, the second thing I
noticed is what do all of these movements for the past 2000
years have in common? Who do they hate most? As you can tell,
by what I said about JD Vance, I think you'll learn very much by
taking a look at who's mad at whom and about what. So if
there's something that threatens you pay close attention to what
makes them angriest. But certainly true in my business,
which is the speech business. What are they trying to get you
not to say? What are they punishing you for saying those
are likely to be the truest things, not the false things.
It's not misinformation, it's not disinformation, as truth.
That's why you hate it. Obviously. It's obvious now took
me about 10 years to figure this out. I'm not a super genius. But
What group do they dislike most? What group are they absolutely
terrified of, and hoping to eliminate what's Christians?
That's who it is, as Christians. And I'm saying this is not a
particularly fervent, lifelong Christian, I am a Christian. But
I haven't spent my life you know, surrounded by plumes of
incense deep and prayers went away from the newsroom saying
the F word. I mean, I'm not sort of a pious person at all. But I
try to be a notice or since I'm paid to do that. And the group
that makes them angry as triggers that most I guess we
would say now is Christians, Christian nationals and people
pray outside abortion clinics, people celebrate Easter and not
trans visibility day. These are the real enemies. But that's
been true in every revolution in the past 2000 years. It
Adam Curry: was a really it was an interesting speech, the
Tucker game If, and so I'm thinking If Trump were to move
this from lawfare to spiritual warfare, he has a whole
different game going on. And I'm just saying this from an
analytical point of view because here's the stories that are
popping up. New York Times this is this is after Saturday,
Trump's devotees see God's protection. Christian
nationalism is emerging as an overt threat to democracy. Los
Angeles Times, pro Trump Christian extremists use
scripture to justify violent goals Washington Post, The
Defiant Trump image that made critics join the cult I mean,
it's, it's everywhere. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: well, this is the atheists getting a little
Adam Curry: upset well, on cue, someone who I don't really even
like that much I try to avoid playing any clips is Josh
Hawley. Now isn't Josh Hawley also a tech guy?
John C Dvorak: Who I think that I know of I mean, Josh Holly's
name has come up in the conversation quite a bit. Well,
here's a look him up while you are here.
Adam Curry: Here's a clip that that popped
Unknown: up. Faith leaders are speaking out on what they say
are the dangers of Christian nationalism, and its impact on
our democracy and government. This
is in response to Senator Josh Holly's words advocating for
Christian nationalism a week ago, or David M. allottee. is
breaking down the conversation for us in studio tonight. So
these religious leaders today tell me their biggest fear is
violence in the aftermath of Senator Holly's speech where he
advocates for Christian nationalism, but insists he is
for religious tolerance. I'm told by the panel of faith
leaders today the issue with professing advocacy of Christian
nationalism is that the stance nice religious freedom to Jews,
Muslims, LGBTQ Christians, and people of color. And
some will say that I'm advocating Christian
nationalism. And so I do that
extra tough last Monday speech by Senator Josh Hawley continues
to make waves in our country and pulled together religious
leaders in Missouri this Monday, condemning the senior senators
words Christian
nationalism is not compatible with religious tolerance or
religious freedom, because it's saying we will have a Christian
nation sorry, Muslim, sorry, Jews, sorry, atheists, this
nation isn't for you the same way it's for others at best will
tolerate you being here. But you don't get the same level of
rights as others. Christianity is 2 billion people across the
world. It's a very diverse religion. So when they talk
about a Christian nation, they really mean a very specific form
of mostly white that mostly evangelical conservatives,
straight patriarchal Christianity, that often becomes
white Christian nationalism.
Last week, Senator Hawley said his focus is keeping the left
from destroying the First Amendment and religious liberty
our country is built on. It's a
fact of history not open to debate. It's a fact of history,
that we were founded by Christian believers and that our
fundamental ideals, including those in the Constitution, the
Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights all come to
us from the Christian tradition. That's just a fact. And I think
it's worth preserving.
Adam Curry: So that man has a lot of fear,
John C Dvorak: but no, no tech connection. And I thought, why
don't I think that what is the opposite? What what is he?
Adam Curry: Where does he come from?
John C Dvorak: Well, he actually graduated from Stanford. And he,
I mean, he lives in Missouri, obviously. And he went up and
he's another Yalie. I could just like, oh, like Vance, like
advance and you guys run the country, and what was what
they're up to?
Adam Curry: So what is interesting is there's that you
said,
John C Dvorak: Holly's been on this theocratic thing forever. I
didn't know nothing new with him.
Adam Curry: I didn't know that. But he but he, he said, I'm a
Christian nationalist, and everyone freaks out about it.
And then you know, so there's, oh, it's and then you get all
these so what do we really have? We have the sparkle clergy which
is you know, God is trans. Then we have the extreme right nut
jobs. You know, God Hates Fags, you know, go in a storm storm
abortion clinics? No, I mean, there's all kinds of crazy
things going on. And then you have the, what they call like
the remnant church who believes in the history of America being
you know, the Pilgrims came literally after, strengthen
their faith in Leiden of all places, and Amsterdam. And you
know, all of the first presidents, the con everything
is all based upon upon the word of God. So Holly's actual
message is something that I think Trump could actually use.
Unknown: The left's primary purpose is to attack our
spiritual unity our common loves. They want to destroy the
affections that link us one to another, and substitute a set of
all together different ideals. The left preaches its own
gospel, a creed of intersectionality of deliverance
from tradition, from family from biological sex, and of course
from God They regard the faith of our fathers as a fetter to be
broken. they deem our common moral inheritance is cause for
repentance. Instead of Christmas they want pride month instead of
prayer in schools they venerate the trans flag. Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion are their watchwords their new Holy
Trinity. And they expect their preachment to be obeyed. They
may speak of tolerance, but they practice fundamentalism. Those
who resist are called deplorable. Those who questioned
are labeled threats to democracy. And this is why
progressives, I submit to you have such a little patience
these days for working people. They're too attached to the old
ways to the old faith of God and family, home and nation. Now,
this is the left's true replacement theory, their true
replacement agenda to replace the Christian ideals on which
this nation was founded, and to silence those Americans who dare
still stand by them. Boom.
Adam Curry: That's That's what Trump should do tonight.
John C Dvorak: I don't think Trump's going to do that. I
don't think that's what he should do. I think he's just
falling into a trap. If he does, I think he's going to be mostly
about family in the working class. All right. That's why he
brought on I think the most of
Adam Curry: the head of the Teamsters team said, well, they
want they want labor on their side, they want their cookies.
They
John C Dvorak: want to steal the cookies. From the Democrats and
cookies. They already had, they got plenty of religious stuff
going on. They don't need to Trump doesn't need to pile on
that he's not going to mention it. But I think it's going to be
about family is going to be about unity. And it's going to
be about and he's going to slip a bunch of labor stuff in there
to try to get the working class, the middle class. And blacks and
Hispanics. He's going to do a lot of crossover stuff to bring
them in because he knows that there they can get a lot of
black votes, mostly black men. And black women still reject
him.
Adam Curry: Keep your eye on Hulk Hogan tonight to see what
he said he's
John C Dvorak: gonna have Hogan. Yeah. How to yeah, don't get
what that group that's just that's kind of
Adam Curry: now you watch you. I'm going to disagree with you
on this. But
John C Dvorak: yeah, we disagree. You can disagree. I
don't think he's going to push that. It's not a good idea.
Adam Curry: I think it's a great idea that obviously you would
Yes, i You're a religious No, I'm a Jesus freak, as though.
That's what I am.
John C Dvorak: Is religious free?
Adam Curry: No, no, no, I'm not. I'm a Jesus freak, not a
religious freak. Because different things anyway, just to
move to the AI portion. Because that's very interesting that
these tech bros, as Kara Swisher would call them, the tech bros.
Oh, yeah, they want to AI regulation, you know, we got to
change that. We got to get rid of it. You can't hamper our
fantastic investment. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: let it the way I see it. Let that aI think
collapse on its own. Wait, why should the government get
involved?
Adam Curry: Here's the Goldman Sachs exchanges podcast about AI
and the investments,
Unknown: the biggest challenge is that over the next several
years alone, we're going to spend over a trillion dollars
developing AI, you know, around the infrastructure, whether it's
datacenter infrastructure, whether it's utilities,
infrastructure, whether it's the applications, a trillion
dollars, and that is the issue, in my mind, what trillion dollar
problem is AI going to solve? This is different from every
other technology transition that I've been a part of over the
last 30 years that I've closely followed the technology
industry, historically, we've always had a very cheap
solution, replacing a very expensive solution. Here, you
have a very expensive solution that's meant to replace low cost
labor. And that doesn't even make any sense from the jump.
Right? And that's my biggest concern on AI at this point.
But
isn't technology always expensive? In its nascent stage,
and then you improve, you evolve, you iterate and the cost
comes down? Dramatically? Yeah,
not always. Let's take E commerce and the internet as the
best example of this from the get go, right? You had a very
cheap technology ecommerce, replacing a very expensive brick
and mortar retail solution. Amazon was able to sell books
from the first day that they started selling books on the
internet, because it was cheaper to sell over the internet than
it was for Barnes and Noble to have retail stores. That was
cheaper from the beginning like so there's a real life example
of arguably the most important technology development of our
generation e commerce that was cheaper from day one. Fast
forward 30 years, right. And it's still cheaper. We still
have a cheaper solution replacing a more expensive
solution. Take, you know, Uber replacing limousine services,
right. So you started cheaper and 30 years later, the internet
is still enabling things to be cheaper than what the incumbent
solution is. There's nothing about AI that's cheap today,
right and your star Going from a very high cost base. So that
part I think there's a lot of revisionist history on about how
things always start expensive and get cheaper. Nobody started
with a trillion dollars.
John C Dvorak: You know, he could have been pushed back
further. When she did. It's never been more expensive
navigating now, I mean, when the when the personal computer first
came out those things to put them together. So there's
actually useful it cost about $3,500 for a machine. As opposed
to today, you need a Beelink, which has more power with a
great, great hard drive. Well, that's your issue. Yeah. So get
us can condition to power, that would be my advice. Anyway. The
point is, is that it's always been when that's when the $3,500
machine came out, or even you could even spend more than that.
It was so much cheaper than a mini computer. You're a
mainframe everything else in between. It's, there's no it's
always been cheap. It always starts off, it starts off
cheaper. That's your original, so called value proposition.
Jumper. This value is the word value. And it's always been
cheaper. The fact that it's going to cost a trillion dollars
to solve a cheap labor problem, which is like worldwide you get
cheap labor anywhere. Is it is ridiculous. This guy. I don't
know who that guy was. But he nailed it. He's from Goldman
Sachs. They know what they're doing. Yeah. Yeah. They're
shorting where everyone's going long. They're shorting well,
they're telling everyone else to go along.
Adam Curry: Well, of course, that's what you do on CNBC. So
along in that vein, we've really started something with the
economic indicators. We had the the hair salons, and I think you
and Horowitz were doing some of this stuff. Sounded like it. I
got one from one of our producers who follows Helen or
Troy ah, oh,
John C Dvorak: by the way, these these are all called coincident
indicators. Is this a known unknown thing to look out for?
Adam Curry: I like economic indicators better, but Cohen's
What do you call them? Coincident
John C Dvorak: indicators, inquiries, their economic
indicators that just happened to coincide with some other action
going on someplace else. So if you can find one that's obscure,
and that really nails it, you can make a lot of money. Well,
Adam Curry: here's one this is. So how long are Troy there hair
hair products. Consolidated net sales declined 12.2% driven by
declining sales of hair appliances, prestige, haircare
products and humidifiers in beauty and wellness.
John C Dvorak: Helena Troy became a produce some earnings
recently they were off Mark. Yeah. And they became a kind of
a topic of discussion for an entire day at CNBC.
Adam Curry: Here is I like this one police officer in Chicago
here. Hello, thank you for your service. And in Chicago for both
police and fire departments for the last four to five years as
it has a large quantity of people passing up the
opportunity to take the job. And a lot of people in Chicago have
mentioned that the economy's good is good. And people don't
want to be cops or firemen. Because money is loosen. There's
plenty of jobs. I am roughly 35 years old, and I have had at
least three people that are around my age as my advice on
becoming a police officer in Chicago. One of them works in
finance, finance, but stated its suit on finance. It's too boom
and bust and the market is brutal. I'm also noticing a lot
of people in my age group 28 to 35 moving back home with parents
I think we can assume 2020 21 was the generations 2008 But
covered up by COVID. Like has been discussed on the show. He
feels that when when people start to look for jobs at police
and fire that that is an economic indicator of rough
times ahead. Right that's I think we could have an
interesting thesis. I think we can have the copy indicator, and
then hop indicator. Yes, the copy indicator. And then the
most mind boggling segment on CNBC. All the orange pill boys
are jacked
Unknown: as you know, I was discusses
Adam Curry: Larry Fink tick
Unknown: I was a proud skeptic. And I studied it and learned
about it and I came away saying okay, you know, my opinion five
years was wrong. Here's my opinion say this is what I
believe in today. I believe the opportunity today, I believe
bitcoin is legitimate. I'm not trying to say there's not bet
misuses like everything else. But it is a legitimate financial
instrument that allows you to have maybe uncorrelated non
correlated type of returns. I believe it is an instrument that
you invest in when you're more frightened, though. It is an
instrument when you believe that countries are debasing their
currency debase their currency by excess deficits. And some
countries are I believe we have countries where you're
frightened of your everyday existence and they have you an
opportunity to invest in a something that is outside your
country's you know, control then you can have more financial
control. And so I'm a major believer that there is a role
for Bitcoin and in portfolios, I believe you're going to see that
as an as one of the asset classes that we all look at. I
look at it as digital gold as I said before, and I do believe
there's a there's a there's a real need for everyone to look
at it as as one alternative to I would say the optimism that I
have in the world and I believe there's a great industrial use
for it and I think a lot of people are missing that
industrial
John C Dvorak: use let's see industrial use
Adam Curry: edge he believes it I have no idea do believes do
believes it. We've come a long way from being
John C Dvorak: last guide listen to Well, I mean, the AI guy and
you know, the black group Black Rock has got their heads up.
Biden's ask. Yeah, and
Adam Curry: they make no money. They're very unsuccessful. Oh,
they made
John C Dvorak: plenty of money, but they're not making money
because of these this off handed advice that they're giving other
people okay.
Adam Curry: All right. You know, they have an ETF, right? It's a
very successful Bitcoin ETF. So they do put their money where
their mouth is.
John C Dvorak: I don't know how successful that ETF is ETFs are
not a good idea. Okay, because they naturally degrade it just
naturally. Well, there's a real there's a real problem with ETFs
because you're shorting
Adam Curry: alright. ETFs No, good. I can't. I cannot pray
your comment about ETFs. All I know is they have one. We can
take a break here or we could get to the other big news which
just it spanned all the networks for about an hour and then it
disappeared. But man this was a doozy. Senator Baldwin has left.
What was it? Here it is.
Unknown: Senator Bob Menendez left Federal Court today a
convicted
criminal and deeply deeply disappointed by the jury's
decision. The jury finding
him guilty of 16 counts including bribery, extortion,
and acting as a foreign agent.
I have never violated my public oath. I have never been anything
but a patriot up my country.
No Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is joining a group of more than
30 Democrats calling for the senators resignation.
Prosecutors spent nine weeks proving Menendez accepted 1000s
of dollars in cash gold bars and a new Mercedes in exchange for
actions that important benefited the Egyptian government's
Adam Curry: they had another clip and they had his music
John C Dvorak: guitar and now I thought was Egypt. I mean,
governments this was he working for
Adam Curry: all kinds of government when there was this
the dead someone had his nickname here. I think this is
Unknown: a Senator Bob Menendez is facing calls to resign after
being convicted of corruption prosecutor said the New Jersey
Democrat abused his power as chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee by doing favors for Egypt and several
businessmen as part of a scheme that involved extortion and
bribery. Those bribes included gold bars a luxury car and
hundreds of 1000s of dollars. Menendez is vowing to appeal
Adam Curry: somewhere they call him gold bar Bob which gold gold
bar Bob everybody that but that guy's I mean, I still think it's
his wife. I think he got really screwed by his wife. Because
she's the one she's the one that introduced all the connections
John C Dvorak: a mover and a shaker that woman and with
Adam Curry: that I'd like to thank you for your courage say
in the morning to you the man who put the seeds in the coup
coffin say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only
Mr.
John C Dvorak: Crane Immortelle ships to see boots on the ground
up in the air subs in the water and all the names and nights out
there in
Adam Curry: the morning you trolls that's interesting. We
are about an almost as a half an hour late on the troll count.
Last Thursday we had 1873 and that was after about an hour and
10 minutes today. 2319 at a buck 50 Hello, trolls. Good to have
you here.
John C Dvorak: That's the number it used to be common. Yeah, but
Adam Curry: it would have been much higher if I had done it
half an hour ago. So the trolls are tuning it and they're doing
that at troll room.io Some of you hopefully more increasingly
are using a modern podcast app. Support your your independent
podcast app developers. You're gonna you're gonna be very sorry
pod castles start disappearing from Apple and Spotify and oh,
it's so easy. Yep. Okay. Go to podcast.
John C Dvorak: Boom, they're gone. They're gone.
Unknown: Poof.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's right podcast apps.com. And, of
course, you get all the cool features, which includes
artwork. In the chapters, you get chapters, which are mean,
there's no one really has this chapter feature. You get
transcripts, you get all kinds of fun extras that are just not
available. And you get these modern podcast apps alert us to
the pod pink system, which is a decentralized notification
system. Blockchain within 90 seconds of us publishing so you
go ahead, you know, the blockchain, we have a blockchain
is a blockchain. Yes. The pod ping system runs on a
blockchain. Why? So it's completely decentralized. No one
owns it. So anybody can ping the blockchain. It's not a I don't
want to own it. But
John C Dvorak: where's the blockchain is that you can
Adam Curry: pin it's in the cloud. The place it's in
blockchain space.
John C Dvorak: You can you can ping somebody has to be hosting
something. No,
Adam Curry: it's what, like, hundreds of 1000s of people are
hosting this blockchain. So you can they all stop? Yeah. Okay.
All right, John. They're not all going to stop. But if they all
stop, then we have other problems. So that blockchain has
been around for 50 years, the net goes down. Yeah. I don't
think you'll be worried about your podcast. If the net goes
down, you won't be getting your podcast. And we can say wherever
you don't get your podcasts. Those images come from our
artists who understand the value for value system extremely well,
they, they'd like to give us value back for the value they
received from the show, which is what we've been doing. It'd be
17 years in October. And instead of taking corporate you know, as
someone got mad, and said that your tip of the day, which was I
think it was a book. No, it was a water filter. Was it a water
filter? Oh,
John C Dvorak: yeah. The Clearly Filtered Yeah.
Adam Curry: And you said you'll get it on Amazon and then
immediately, man, that's insulting. Do you got native
ads? I said, a native ad for an a water filter three hours and
10 minutes into the show, boy we're rockin and rollin aren't
we? Now the whole point of being value for values we can talk
about actual products we like and that we use? If you
couldn't? You couldn't see idea we
John C Dvorak: do that all the time with different computers. I
mentioned
Adam Curry: Beelink Oh, yeah. Oh, there's
John C Dvorak: paying us off. Yeah, they can they're losing
money on his computer. I
Adam Curry: mean, people are too conspiratorial.
John C Dvorak: No it's just guys like that guy's a dick. No, he's
Adam Curry: not he apologized. And once I said your I said
quite frankly I find this insulting I didn't mean it that
way. Okay, well
John C Dvorak: hey, you know now did you mean it
Adam Curry: people write stuff they've been I understand how it
works. You know, people some guy
John C Dvorak: wrote a note in it says I ended I offended John.
He goes on and on and on. And I'm thinking what? I don't even
know what he's talking about. It was that the Brahman? No, it
wasn't the Brahman Brahman I
Adam Curry: do offend yeah and all of India.
John C Dvorak: He did Brahman deserves a couple of guys he
Lords it over everybody's a Brahmin. This would be if I
Adam Curry: were you, I wouldn't go to Bangladesh anytime soon.
I'm
John C Dvorak: not going to Bangladesh. I won't be there.
Anyway, time,
Adam Curry: talent and treasure is, is the way that it works.
You can hit somebody in the mouth, turn them on to the show,
get them to donate call someone out as a douchebag support us
however, you can't I mean, it's in kind when you're doing things
that would cost us money like websites. You know, the art
Well, I'm gonna get to avoid zero does the infrastructure
everybody pray for Mark, he has all kinds of intestinal issues.
Oh, this is not good. Now. Now it's in fact, it's really not
good. You know, he can't really sit down even. Oh,
John C Dvorak: I gotta go should give him a call. Yeah,
Adam Curry: you know what, he would really appreciate that.
And he's been he's been with the show for what? 15 years every 15
At least 15 of our of our 17 came in after Mr. oil that I
know he was there before because he had the chat. Okay, which is,
you know, the troll room still is is on his server. He's just,
there's just running for everybody, which has no agenda
stream, which is you know, where all the trolls hang out. So yes,
we do have artists who like to give us art. Some of them donate
to financially, but the artists just phenomenal for us to be
able to choose. There's a little slim pickins for us on the last
show. For a number of reasons we'll get to but firstly want to
thank our Dutch master Dame Kenny bam. We chose her volume
knob her rhetoric volume knob, which that
John C Dvorak: was a vet that was under protest.
Adam Curry: Yes, under protest do explain
John C Dvorak: was not my favorite. We've had another I
see it as a best possible fallback, but you are rejecting
everything.
Adam Curry: Well, here was the main problem. So we kind of
liked the idea of Trump as Van Gogh and Scarah manga had
probably the best version of Trump as Van Gogh, but you
didn't see it because there was John's favorite boobs front and
center, which
John C Dvorak: of course, that wasn't the reason the Bucha
Graham Angus boobs? No, there were two of the Dutch there are
two of them, the Trump and the in the past year, one of them
you liked which was tenten eels. And I like Scarem mangas are
right next to each other. And I like Scarah mangas not because
of the heavy topped a woman although that was not I didn't
think it hurt that piece by any means. But the but Scarah manga
did a tremendous job of making Van Gogh look like Trump he did
and to kneel did not
Adam Curry: agreed. And there were a number of people who did
Trump era things which we were kind of against but the Van Gogh
thing was funny, but they had the wrong year
John C Dvorak: yes, it was one piece in particular right the
record correct the record correct the record has the wrong
year and mine how would that doesn't take any talent?
Adam Curry: Did you see Darren O'Neal synthesis prompts for the
his artwork
John C Dvorak: yes I saw the prompts. Darren O'Neal has
decided to issue his own artistic capabilities in favor
of comic strip bloggers prompt jockey AI and he sent a sent I
we had did we because of the show before we demanded that he
sent us send us your prompts. So he sent a whole a very nice
presentation which is actually something that could I should
put in the substack column just as as as is
Adam Curry: was quite quite amazing how really simple it is.
I mean in that regard and he only pays 20 bucks a month I'm
sure it's costing somebody money somewhere personally,
John C Dvorak: you know because he just the example for that one
piece that he did he the thing coughed out about 10 pieces at
least and each one of those has got to cost a number of dollars
apiece to to generate by the AI Yeah. For 20 bucks a month he's
he's killing it. Yeah. So it's a moneymaker so so the so the
rhetoric button I felt felt was usable and you ended up agreeing
Yes,
Adam Curry: I did. The see what other you know, there were other
ear things but that I think we both felt like like gummy ears.
Okay.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we didn't know it was it was that was a
little sick.
Adam Curry: Yeah, we're not we're not Kara Swisher and Scott
Galloway. What do you think we are?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, we try to keep the Yeah. Yeah, we're also
not going to do any more for the fist in the air and the flag
Adam Curry: and we're not gonna we're not gonna glorify anybody.
No, no, we're
John C Dvorak: not gonna it's just, you know, it's just just
know, we were talking about creative. We need creative. Yes,
Adam Curry: creative and creative means creative. It
comes from your soul. Yeah, that's why that's why or
John C Dvorak: your training. In some cases.
Adam Curry: That's why Darren O'Neal is one of the top of the
leaderboard. He has soul. Even though he is just a prompt,
Chucky, it's amazing. It's amazing. Well, we want to thank
all of our artists, of course, because they provide just a very
valuable service. And that's how value for value works. We really
appreciate it. Thank you so much for doing that. And now we go to
the treasure component of our value for value model, our
executive and Associate Executive Producers go to no
agenda donations.com to learn how to support us with your
finances. We do need that because this is all we have. We
don't you know, reached out to me, podcast one. Are you
familiar with podcast one?
John C Dvorak: A the name rings a bell from years ago?
Adam Curry: Well, podcast, one went public. And they have Adam
Carolla and okay, that group and they said, hey, yeah, a lot of
our users are telling us we need to get you guys into our
network. And I reply, and yeah, they're like, Hey, we provide
money. We got money, we help you monetize with ads and money. And
I say, well, you're gonna have to make it extremely attractive
for us to leave our producers behind. So I don't know if you
if you can
John C Dvorak: provide or do. Of course not. To grant money is
like, you know, an exit strategy. I'm looking at their
money is like, you know, 50 bucks. I mean, they most
podcasters that or part of these networks don't make
Adam Curry: anything. Well, Corolla is making something
John C Dvorak: is he? Oh yeah,
Adam Curry: he's definitely making some and he got stock
John C Dvorak: the stock it probably was useful
Adam Curry: he gots they want to hear this note. Yeah, let's play
the note, play the note. I can't play the notes. I can read you
the note. Let me see where it is. Hi there.
John C Dvorak: That's a good start. That's the kind of notes
I get on LinkedIn. I'm
Adam Curry: the Development Coordinator at podcast one a
full service podcast production, marketing and advertising
network. I want to introduce myself and personally reach out
as we would love to work with you on the no agenda podcast.
Our staff has been our staff, our staff has been submitting
their favorite podcasts and your shows come up from multiple fans
at our company. Yeah, sure. If you're open to it, we'd love to
set up a call or grab lunch if you're in LA. Yeah. Have you
ever listened to our show? To see if there's an opportunity to
work together or very least make a formal dinner? No. We limit
the number of shows on our slate. These are real Hollywood
people jump which has contributed to the five plus
year longevity of hits like Are you ready for these hits?
John C Dvorak: I'm ready lady gang.
Adam Curry: off the vine, a an ease slate. That's arts and
entertainment network, the Adam Carolla network, the Kyle Lowry
network and Jordan Harbinger. Just recently we launched with
Cody Rigsby. Have you heard of any of these people?
John C Dvorak: No I by Adam Carolla
Adam Curry: that we support with revenue generating a top class
sales team across the country headed by Sue McNamara, who ran
sales for Howard Stern for 20 years. John, think of the
opportunity, I'd rather, I'd rather be dead. Seriously, I
would rather thank our executive and Associate Executive
Producers twice a week for sending us the value that they
get out of the show. That's really all it is, is just
sending us the value that you get a show of any amount,
John C Dvorak: whether the thing is one of the things we we've
worked out on this show is lack of dependency correct.
Adam Curry: Because you lose one advertiser because you said
something stupid, and weird. And then we can't pay the rent?
John C Dvorak: Well, you could say something stupid and make us
lose to the advertiser to we bought, at fact, we used to do
in our in our we don't do it so much as we used to, at the end
of the show, when we do our post boredom to get the art and do
the rest of it and talk about the show. Yeah, we used to say,
you know, we would have been fired for this, this and this we
used and I think we still do it, we just don't pay as much
attention to it. All the things we do on this show because we
were not limited by worrying about the advertisers exam.
We're not limited to what we say or what we do. We're live we're
only limited by liability issues. So we and we, and we
keep each other Brander we can't slander people. We don't do
that. We're responsible
Adam Curry: to each other. Right, right. Right. Best of
all, remember no meetings. That's the real reason right
there. We don't want to meet with the with anyone.
John C Dvorak: You know, lunch in LA
Adam Curry: what's what's that big, fast moving consumer goods
group with ie the Dutch group. What's their name? They do all
the soap stuff. Yeah, what's their name? They do dove. Cute.

it. Unilever Of course. Buna monster company. Yeah.
Adam Curry: The guys at Unilever, they really would love
to advertise with Doug. But can you dial back? You know, the DEI
hates because they're really big on black skin. That's the kind
of stuff we'd have to deal with. Can you imagine Yes,
John C Dvorak: that's exactly in fact, what you just said is was
from obviously, extracted from a meeting you've already had years
ago we were doing
Adam Curry: work and the women are always always the same type
of woman. Yes. Hey, the team and with the team has been talking

John C Dvorak: I would like to start this off in a lighter
note.
Adam Curry: Okay have a show no All right.
John C Dvorak: Second half of show this is the second half of
show oh
Adam Curry: okay but it's not second half of show material.
John C Dvorak: No Oh okay well second half a show well you I
mean you confuse all you are gonna play the jingle nevermind
don't do that. Okay, why don't you play this jingle ask Adam.
Adam Curry: All right, everybody. It's ask Adam time
what could be going on?
John C Dvorak: This is actually to ask Adams. The other. So
let's start with ask Adam puzzle Q.
Adam Curry: Okay. And people should know that John sends me
his clips in the morning. I don't listen to him. We don't
coordinate. This is a this is a performance that we do together.
So I have no idea what's coming. And here is my ask Adam. Puzzle
cue cue for question. I presume one
Unknown: of the world's most famous puzzles turns 50 this
year.
John C Dvorak: puzzle. A famous puzzle. Turns 50 famous
Adam Curry: puzzle I have to come up with something What
could the troll room was already telling me I don't I don't want
to I don't want to cheat. I
John C Dvorak: have troller Ms. is helping you cheat.
Adam Curry: I just looked over and they gave it they gave it
away? I don't I don't appreciate that troll room.
John C Dvorak: Comes here's your answer. There
Unknown: has never been a puzzle like like Rubik's Cube. Wow.
Yes.
The Rubik's cube
that a creator is an 80 year old Hungarian architect or no Rubik
back in the day, he was a professor in Budapest fascinated
with geometry, and he created a prototype in 1974 that took a
month to solve. So
the creator of the Rubik's Cube, Mr. Rubik himself was stumped by
his own invention very difficult.
Adam Curry: I would not have guessed that and in fact, 50
years, and I'm thinking back I was I 10. When that came out, I
guess so. No, that is crazy. It's, you know, my, my nephew,
Connor. Connor is from the from the elite side of the family. He
did his submission to an if it was the Juilliard that he plays
a classical piece. while solving the Rubik's Cube is a great,
that's
John C Dvorak: talent.
Adam Curry: I gotta find it. Yeah, he's from the, from the
Buckley side of the family. Dad brings
John C Dvorak: in a another ask Adam Q, which is a bonus. The
second part of this is this one.
Unknown: Now half a century later, about 500 million Rubik's
Cubes, official versions, and look alikes have been sold
worldwide and
solving it has become a competitive sport. The world
cube
Association has
an association for everything. Yeah, that's what the script
says. I wouldn't know
now. The world cube Association says the current world record
set last year is just over.
Adam Curry: Okay, how much time? Yeah, how
John C Dvorak: much time does it take to solve a Rubik's cube a
Rubik's Cube puzzle? By the number one guy.
Adam Curry: I've seen some of these. I'm going to say Oh,
John C Dvorak: this is astonishing to say seven
seconds. Play the answer heard set last year is just over three
seconds. Watch it on YouTube.
Unknown: Three seconds must be a very short video. Wow,
Adam Curry: three know how
John C Dvorak: that's possible. Except I'll say this. Now our
old spreadsheet guide of a friend of ours is Eric Mackey.
Yes. Eric Matt, the guy who does can do a Rubik's Cube in three
seconds sees things differently than you do. Because he can look
at it and then they say go and he's got it done in three
seconds. Eric is one of these guys. He does not the Rubik's
cube so much. But we used to do this all the time at the table.
You could take one of those crazy puzzles that have a bunch
of white you know, things hooked together and some off awkward
way and you're supposed to pull on you try to get this thing on
ya
Adam Curry: know? Those those things that curly cube metal
things Yeah,
John C Dvorak: those curly Q metal things. And I I would say
I would have one it took me like five minutes to you know,
jerking around getting the thing to fall apart. Eric and this is
God's truth and and he does this with other things too. He can
like pack a container.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's he has kind of a Rain Man vibe. You can
count things and room and do all kinds of stuff like
John C Dvorak: he does do I don't know if he does that. But
he does with the puzzles. He does the following. Do you put
it in front of him and he looks at it for about, I don't know,
15 seconds, and then just grab it and boom, it's all part it
just instant. It's like as soon as he picks it up as into the 10
pieces that it was designed to be part of the puzzle, and then
he can put it right back together. It's unbelievable. And
so I have to assume that Rubik's Cube guy and I've heard this
from a lot of engineers have these this capability. Chad
Heath, who did one of the buses for the IBM PC, he said he
didn't realize that he can, he can look at a bus. And he can
see immediately why it won't work. Just by what the pin outs
are. Contracts are going to work Contrary
Adam Curry: to popular belief. Eric actually has a family with
three kids. He
John C Dvorak: has three kids, and they're all a happy camper.
He
Adam Curry: figured it out.
Unknown: As Adam will he know Oh, really? Well.
I don't know.
Answer the question go.
John C Dvorak: There are people that have that, you know, that
was good for you, by the way how you're gonna that would sound of
what? You're kind of one of these guys. Oh,
Adam Curry: yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, sound big is big
with me. Sound sound. I like doing so well. Like, let me do a
little light, light to clip in here. This, this was kind of
fun. Because I saw this story six days ago. And I think I
might have clipped it, Mike, who cares? The reason why it was
interesting to me is I built a website back in the onramp days
before it became think new ideas. And it was the website
you visit more than once a month tampax.com. That was the actual
slogan on the website. And so there was this study that came
out. And I had clipped off like now that's something I should
probably probably put on the backburner if we have some time.
And today, a new report comes out and I'll play the original
report in a moment. Dr.
Unknown: Lauren Stryker, thanks
for being with us again. Morning. So we're gonna do some
health headlines of the day. First off, I think we did this
story where they said metal was detected in tampons. Should
people be worried about this talk about
okay, this sounds terrifying, right? So I don't mind this is
nothing to panic about. So what's this all about? Got a lot
of media last week, basically, some scientists tested to look
for the presence of metals in tampons, all kinds of tampons,
every brand organic, inorganic, and they found that there was
metal on all of them for arsenic, cadmium, lead. So this
sounds terrible, right. But there's three reasons that no
one needs to panic. Number one is there's no evidence that
these metals get outside the tampon, much less get absorbed
by the body. Number two, we're talking trace amounts, teeny,
teeny, tiny amounts that are being like, clinically
significant at all. But number three is a big one, you're
already getting your daily dose of arsenic in your kale salad in
your arugula in any fruits or vegetables that either grow or
in the water, because we have metals in our water supply in
the ground. So this idea that you're going to put this tampon
in your body and it's going to do terrible things to you is not
based in science. This is clickbait. This is fear
mongering. And in fact, the people that wrote this article
said, Hey, this is like no big deal. We just want people to
know this. And let's just talk about organic for a minute.
Adam Curry: The reason why I play this is because I happen to
know how these companies operate. And the choice a young
woman makes between different menstrual cycle products will
probably determine their usage for the rest of their life. So
Tampax was really all in on trying to get young girls as
soon as possible to use their product. And what this was, was
a bogus as stupid study from the makers of cup products, which is
now all over social media girls going oh, look at this. They're
all getting paid for it. So they put out this fear mongering
report.
Unknown: As you can well imagine I have a teenage daughter and
I'm thinking about this, you know, for her as well. And so we
are going to spend a bit of time talking about alternatives for
people that they can consider if they are concerned about this.
Okay, well let
me tee you up on that one.
Adam Curry: Let me tee you up. This is MVC let me tee you up.
Let's read what the script says. Okay, well,
Unknown: let me take you up on that. What are what are some of
those alternatives? I think people know obviously pads are
an option there's
a exactly so there are two things that were kind of
similarly there are there are menstrual cups there are
menstrual discs which essentially sort of
Adam Curry: this was a native ad of horrible proportion.
Unbelievable scaring people into thinking this arsenic in your
tank what goes
John C Dvorak: on and the mainstream media constantly as
suppose it news exactly, the exactly disgusting Yes. And then
we get called out because I recommend a water filter. Well,
there's that.
Adam Curry: It's your own fault. You did it. You brought that on
yourself. Hey, let me tee you up. John. Let me tee you up. I
need to be teed up. I'm gonna tee you up with a very short
report from The King's Speech, which was Prince Charles. And
this is the piece that was sent to me a
Unknown: bill will be introduced to progressively increase the
age at which people can buy cigarettes and impose limits on
the sale and marketing of vapes. Ministers will also legislate to
restricted advertising of junk food to children. Along with the
sale of high caffeine energy drinks, to children, a bill will
be introduced to progressively Oh,
Adam Curry: sorry. So there you go. Progressively making it
difficult to get vapes get your hand on vapes and energy drinks
and junk food. The King is very obsessed.
John C Dvorak: It's worse than that. I sent him a bunch of
clips from the King's speech that were done by NTD. UK, which
I normally don't. Interesting. Okay, so they have these are
four clips and they stay in the fourth clip is the kicker. But
let's listen to the basic introduction just
Adam Curry: like a State of the Union. What exactly is the
King's speech?
John C Dvorak: The King's Speech is confirming what the new party
is is up to and agreeing with it and promoting it and it seems to
me that's what it is. The queen I think just be the Queen's
speech, but she never got so involved hit this guy's almost
like wanting to be a governor. I don't like this guy. Just
Charles. No,
Adam Curry: he's a douche. Sorry. He's
John C Dvorak: definitely in on you know all this. This is this.
If you listen to these four clips, this is Britain turning
socialist. King Charles says I'm concerned I'm sorry. As far as
I'm concerned. As far as
Unknown: you're concerned, King Charles has set out the new
government's legislative agenda. The King's speech delivered
within a ceremony full of pageantry promises a government
of service focused on reviving the economy and tackling issues
from an acute housing shortage to the cost of living crisis.
Jean Charles sat down Prime Minister Kier, Starmer has
legislative agenda on Wednesday, promising a government of
service focused on reviving the economy. Charles told the
gathered peers and MPs. The Government's program will be
based upon the principles of security, fairness and
opportunity for all.
Stability will be the cornerstone of my government's
economic policy. And every decision will be consistent with
its fiscal rules,
Adam Curry: the package of more than 35 bills were focused on
growing the economy, performing planning laws to make it easier
to build homes, speeding up the delivery of major infrastructure
projects, improving transport and creating jobs. My
Unknown: ministers will get Britain building, including
through planning reform, as they seek to accelerate the delivery
of high quality infrastructure and housing. They will also
pursue sustainable growth by encouraging investment in
industry skills and new technologies.
Adam Curry: Now, do they need the approval of the king in
order to implement because it says My ministers
John C Dvorak: because I thought it was just simply they do
Adam Curry: I thought there was just a formality is tradition.
John C Dvorak: Well, it's a formality but turns out
Adam Curry: Yeah, turns out
John C Dvorak: Yeah, so this guy who is a socialist as far as I'm
concerned, he continues and we're going to clip to its
Adam Curry: charter home and also set out plans to gradually
rationalize the passenger rail network, and set affordable
fares to draw people back on to train Wait, did he say
nationalize?
John C Dvorak: Yeah nationalized.
Unknown: This decision would mostly reverse the privatization
of the railways, conducted in the 1990s. By the then
Conservative government with brands
Taken together, these policies will enhance Britain's position
as a leading industrial nation, and enable the country to take
advantage of new opportunities that can promote growth and
wealth creation.
The speech delivered in the House of Lords by the king with
all the traditional pomp and pageantry includes many of the
policies championed in Labour's manifesto
economic growth measures to modernize the constitution will
be introduced, including House of Lords reform, to remove the
rights of hereditary
Adam Curry: Wait, let me get me here that again. This to modern
go back back. includes many of the policies championed in
Labour's manifesto make great
Unknown: measures to modernize the constitution will be
introduced, including House of Lords reform, to remove the
rights of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the laws.
Adam Curry: Wow, you can kick doubt that revising the
Constitution and I'm sure they have an amendment process don't
they? What is the constitution the Magna Carta?
John C Dvorak: Well no, it's just whatever it is. I don't
know what it is but they're going to change it in the House
of Lords guys are done. Yeah, basically gonna eliminate I
mean, the House of Lords has always been kind of like what
you know, they just kind of rubber stamp stuff but they're
fun like they're they're funny they're funny and they're but
they're not dangerous and needs to be like kicked out of office.
This is this is really extreme changes that people are I'm I
think is going to screw up the country. But I think it's all
part of the socialist agenda and that he's falling for because
he's all in on climate change and all these other ideas
useless. Clip three behind
Unknown: me here in Parliament King Charles set out so kiss Tom
has plans for governments in his King speech. It contains 40
pieces of proposed legislation. Some of the key bills announced
include a bill to toughen spending rules. This seeks to
strengthen the role of the economic watchdog the office for
budgetary responsibility to guarantee that major fiscal
decisions are properly scrutinized. There is a crime
and policing bill which will include a ban on zombie style
knives. It will also include a new type of antisocial behavior
order and penalties for shoplifting labourers landmark
bill to boost workers rights is referred to as a new deal for
working people. It includes a ban on zero hour contracts
giving workers rights immediately on starting a job
and they crack down on the practice of fire and rehire.
There's a strengthened version of the renter's reform bill.
This retains a ban on no fault evictions, and would bring in
measures to boost renters rights. Then onto planning
infrastructure and energy. There's a bill to reform
procedures to accelerate house building across the country. The
government is seeking to re nationalize nearly all passenger
rail services within five years a key priority for the Labour
governments and the bill to establish GB energy a state
owned company which will oversee investments in decarbonisation
projects such as offshore wind. Wow, how
Adam Curry: are they going to pay for this? Inflate the pound?
John C Dvorak: Well, that's an interesting point. I think you'd
think of that.
Adam Curry: Hey, could be cheap for us to go visit.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's already Yeah, but every I mean,
the pound is worth less now. It's only a buck 20 I mean, I
used to go there was a buck 60 was always 16. Sure, but
everything's overpriced now, so it doesn't really still a gyp
now. So the last thing is the kicker, which is this one, and
this is classic, classic socialist idea that is
incorporated into these 40. Labor parts of the labor
manifesto. And then you define things that use a manifesto
term, which fits right in here we go. Moving on
Unknown: to AI another bill, which creates binding rules to
govern the development of artificial intelligence. This
legislation will enhance legal safeguards with a focus on
general purpose technology that underlines AI products such as
chess GPT. In regards to border security, this government plans
to strengthen Britain's borders by modernizing the asylum and
immigration system modernize in EU UK Border Security Command
with counter terror powers to tackle organized crime. Labour's
also resurrecting the previous government's proposed ban on
anyone born after 2009 Buying tobacco, and alongside devolving
powers to mess and councils labor seeking major
constitutional reform to reform of the House of Lords is on the
table, which would include removing hereditary peers.
There's also a hint at potentially lowering the voting
age to 16.
Adam Curry: Wow, they will. Every country gets the
government she deserves. That's what y'all voted for. Because
you hated the conservatives like, let them let those labor
guys in. They've been chomping at the bit. And yeah, they can
lower
John C Dvorak: the age to 16 that is always a winner of if
you're a socialist,
Adam Curry: they are going to throw you in irons. And what do
you think those those reforms? Oh, you won't be able to say
anything. They won't be able to say anything. So he can't
already can't
John C Dvorak: know they're already cracked down on social
media in the UK. Wow. It will get arrested for nothing.
Adam Curry: There's unconfirmed rumors coming in. The Chinese
president Zhi Jing ping had a stroke.
Unknown: Who I haven't heard that.
John C Dvorak: Today's news from out of China was that they got
rid of a number of people from the ministry.
Adam Curry: Now could be a palace coup going on. Who knows?
John C Dvorak: I want to play I just wanted this back to Biden
for just a second. Why not? I wanted to play these two clips
from his Lester Holt interview. Yeah, he
Adam Curry: was pretty angry.
John C Dvorak: He was late. He was mad and he kept saying look,
look Look, look, look. I mean, when you hear somebody saying
look as much as Biden does he this is like, this is defiant.
He's very defiant. But he's also half brain dead. And I only have
two clips. But the one the first clip is the good one. But
Unknown: let's talk about the conversation. This just started
and it's really about language, what we say out loud and the
consequences of those you called your opponent and existential
threat. On a call a week ago, you said it's time to put Trump
in the bullseye for some dispute about the context. But I think
you appreciate the crosshairs
that's all we focus on. Look, the truth of the matter is what
I guess I was talking about at the time was, there was very
little focus on Trump's agenda. The other term was Bullseye was
the mistake to use or I didn't, I didn't say crosshairs. I have
a bull's eye net focus on it. Focus on what he's doing. Focus
on one as far as policies focus on the number of lies. He told
the debate focus. I mean, there's there's a whole range of
things that look, I'm not the guy that said, I want to be a
dictator on day one.
Adam Curry: He didn't say that. He said it'd be a dictator under
for one day. Lies. Lies if
John C Dvorak: they did Biden is a liar. But this idea that, you
know, I said crossers? I mean, bulls. I mean, I mean, focus was
great. So we have part of the second part is not as
entertaining. But it's funny too. And I
Unknown: asked him about his struggle in the debate and the
calls from some Democrats, for him to step aside. Do you feel
like you've weathered the storm on this issue of whether you
should be on the ticket or not?
13 million people voted for me to be the nominee in the
Democratic Party. Okay.
In your last TV interview, you were asked if you had watched
the debate, and your answer was I don't think so. No. Have you
since seen it?
I've seen pieces of it. I've not watched the whole debate.
The President also responding to news of Donald Trump's new vice
presidential pick, when I asked you about just shortly before
you and I sat down, former President Trump named his vice
presidential pick JD Vance, what does that tell you? His
qualities? What does that tell you about former President
Trump's values and to him in terms of who he will surround
himself with in the next administration? Should he win?
It's not unusual, it's gonna surround himself with people who
agree completely with him. And wouldn't recognize supportive
even though if you go back and listen to the things that JD
Vance Said About Trump.
Adam Curry: You know, I think I have angrier clips from Joe from
that interview. If if you don't if you will
John C Dvorak: enjoy. That's fine. That's all I got as those
two because I thought they were meaningful, but yeah, well, he
was the clips I should have gotten. I didn't get but I just
couldn't get a good reason I didn't get them. These are the
clips from the NCAA speech. I have one play NCAA, but the
NAACP since I have where he's, he's good. He's screaming is
yelling is like gone nuts. I mean, he's goes crazy. He's one
of those crazy speeches where he's unhinge, but I found two
copies of it. And they were too echoey. I wasn't going to run
them to either. No, there were no
Adam Curry: there were no good. No good. Here's a very, very
short one boat that definitely my favorite. One of
Unknown: my best friends. When I was a lifeguard and projects. He
was his name is nickname is mouse.
Adam Curry: This is when he got in the tangled. He rumbled with
with corn pop he had his buddy there in the projects, which was
mouse. Does anybody take this guy serious?
Unknown: I got some short angry clips here. When I asked you
about just shortly before you and I sat down. Former
presidents rep named his Oh, no, you got that one. You had this
one. Mr. Trump has said he has given you a chance to redeem
yourself basically the idea of engaging in another debate.
We're gonna have another debate. Yeah, you're gonna have one of
September that's on the books. Would you be open to doing one
in the next few weeks?
I'm going to debate him when we agreed to debate him in
September.
But if if the opportunity came up to do and between now and
then is there is a sense of wanting to get back on their
horse. I'm on a horse.
I was on 22 major events for 1000s of people. A lot of noise
and crowds. A lot happening. I'm on the horse. What I'm doing is
going out and demonstrating to an American people that I have
commanded all my faculties that I don't need notes. I don't need
telephone. I can go out.
Adam Curry: I don't need calibre. Oh,
Unknown: and I stood there when when NATO isn't I sit there for
an hour and answer questions.
If you were to have continued
Adam Curry: poor follow up from Lester Holt. Yeah, that's when
you identified vice president Kamala Harris as press Isn't
Trump and President Solinsky as President Putin? Is that what
you're talking about? Mr. President? No.
John C Dvorak: Hold is a soft ball.
Adam Curry: He's a soft baller issues.
Unknown: If you were to have continued to run and be
officially nominated, what happens if you have another
episode like we saw during the episode? What happened? What
happened? What happens if you have performance on that level?
I don't plan for us.
President, I know he's good to talk to you. Good to see you.
Thank you for making some time for us sometimes
come and talk to him about what we should be talking about. All
right. Okay. The issues.
John C Dvorak: With this, he talked about the issues. What is
that is bullcrap. Oh, I hope he stays in. Yeah,
Adam Curry: well, he's quitting tonight. What he's quitting
tonight. It's over tonight. Tonight. Oh,
John C Dvorak: well, this is yeah. microdots. No.
Adam Curry: It's quantum dots. Okay.
John C Dvorak: Quantum dots is funnier quantum dots.
Adam Curry: The Olympics are starting soon in Paris. I for
one, I have a Olympic fever. I'm very excited. Although I always
find it. Kind of. I gotta admit, I don't like that. We always
send the Dream Team for basketball. And I was like, oh,
Lebron James. Okay. Well, at least we can win in one thing.
John C Dvorak: Always it is. I think it's a version of cheating
years ago, seen before the original dream team when they
couldn't you couldn't be pro. You couldn't be a pro and they
so they had these college kids and we'd win and we wouldn't
win. And we knew we knew. And somebody got sick of the fact
that other countries are beating our college kids. And we said,
okay, these guys as far as we're concerned, they're bringing in
pros. We're bringing in pros. Yeah. Oh can make up your mind.
Adam Curry: But I think who's that that freak the guy who's
seven foot nine that guy?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I always come. He's open. Yamaha I think
is his name.
Adam Curry: I always call him a Bama but he'll play for his own
country.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well a lot of guys do. In fact, one of the
best players in the league is playing for Serbia.
Adam Curry: Right That guy just what's his name?
John C Dvorak: It's yeah, I should have the name of top my
head being a sports ball fan. But yes, you are
Adam Curry: a fan. Anyway.
John C Dvorak: The part of the of the deal was no yo KOVITCH
mediocre the Joker. Part of
Adam Curry: the deals would have flying taxis. Well, we know
that's out the flying taxis not happening. Surprise surprise.
Which means we won't have people dying in these death traps.
Trust me, trust me. And they're supposed to have all kinds of
competitions in the sand.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, this is a classic. This is a good story,
but the sand
Adam Curry: is is basically full of poop. And poopy. So to to
prove to prove that it's not poopy. The mayor took a took a
swan dive into the sin.
Unknown: It's the dive into the sin river that Paris's mayor has
been dreaming about dreaming
show the water is clean.
It's amazing. We work a lot and very hard for that. Very lucky
and happy day.
Happy because the sin will be the centerpiece of the Paris
Olympics. In less than two weeks from now. Opening ceremonies
will be hosted on the river for the first time. But there had
been concerns about athletes competing in the water. The
river so polluted swimming in the sin was banned for more than
a century, with only a third good reason. Determined to make
it safe again for the Olympics. cleanup efforts began over nine
years ago, costing one and a half billion dollars. It
included a giant underground water storage basin, renovating
sewer lines and treatment plants. Even with all that water
quality tests last month indicated more than needed to be
done. We did it we did it we do visual say the latest water
quality tests show welcomed improvements and Paris is ready
to let the games begin.
Adam Curry: Why did they have to do sewage changes? Were they
dumping the poop in the sand?
John C Dvorak: Well the coliform cast were always failing now
there's a it's possible that they they could possibly fix it
I went to him I was hanging out hanging out
Adam Curry: I was hanging out in
John C Dvorak: in Paris in Paris with a guy
Adam Curry: with a croissant
John C Dvorak: he said I asked him I said you know what did
this what do you what would you define definitive French as
being really good at and I was thinking you know growing
peaches wine there's all these different things you drink a
basis crap he says the number one thing that French are great
that is public works rail designs sewage system to the
sewers of France all the rest of them and did they do that better
than anybody else in the world and I've noticed this the first
time I was over there the roads don't have potholes all over the
place there's
Adam Curry: that move to Paris than your freak
John C Dvorak: so the so I can I can see them possibly being able
with their public works kind of mentality being really good at
it maybe cleaning up the sand but that's a big project. I
don't know that I think there's going to be a lot of pinkeye
let's put it that way.
Adam Curry: From there we move to what we actually we had the
King's speech the queen is under attack the coal wait
John C Dvorak: before I just said to stay with the Olympics.
I do have a clip. Oh, yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: gonna Olympics clip. Okay.
John C Dvorak: I have an Olympus clip that I think is funny.
Adam Curry: You see All right, here we go.
Unknown: Paris Olympics will provide recycled cardboard beds
for athletes. The manufacturer of the beds said they are so
strong, that's five or six people can jump on them. The
mattresses of the beds can be customized to enhance sleep
quality. To
Adam Curry: the to the floor revealed the recyclable
cardboard beds that will be helping athletes catch up on
their beauty sleep during the Summer Games. The beds were
designed by airwave a Japanese company. Its CEO said cardboard
beds were initially created in 2021 for the Tokyo Olympic
Games. He said the beds for Paris Olympics were even
stronger. Board beds didn't they have that? A couple of years
back I remember the
John C Dvorak: previous Olympics but I didn't know that. And it's
like is that the best you can do? Sleep well on a futon I
Adam Curry: know the cardboard beds is my understanding is so
that it discourages sex
John C Dvorak: I never heard that part of it. Yeah,
Adam Curry: I think that's I really did you know that there
was a 4chan poll about us.
Unknown: About Us Yeah.
Adam Curry: No agenda guys yay or nay?
John C Dvorak: We get probably got 4chan we've probably got I
don't know what we get from I know Reddit would give us a day.
Well
Adam Curry: listen to this worth listening to if you have seven
hours a week to kill. I remember listening to Jhansi Dvorak for
years related to tech. I did not realize he was involved in
politics. Yeah, they're pretty good. Although divorce is
increasingly naive for someone as old as he is who has seen as
much as he has. He's always giving MFRs the benefit of the
doubt when it's really really not warranted. He also read
slash Paul, so that's great. I guess you're in a fourth
chapter. Then. Adam is a retard. Jhansi Dvorak is the goat. It's
a shame that it's a shame that tranny made that god awful
keyboard layout and made it his last name. Wow, 4chan.
John C Dvorak: real accurate. They're
Adam Curry: fantastic. Anyway, back to the Queen the queen is
under
Unknown: attack. It was five years ago that Ursula von der
Leyen squeaked her way into the chair as head of the European
Commission by just a handful of votes. Her attempt to get
reelected for a second term is likely to be just as close. Two
weeks ago EU leaders nominated von der Leyen despite and
occasionally controversial stint in charge of the bloc's
executive branch,
I would plain and simply like to express my gratitude to the
leaders who endorsed my nomination.
On key dissenting voice, though is Italy's Prime Minister
Giorgio Maloney
the leadership proposal from the conservative socialist and
liberal parties was wrong, partly because there was no
discussion considered regarding the mandate for these leadership
nominees. In the wake of European elections, where
citizens clearly asked for a new direction for the EU.
Do Maloney is not the only person unhappy with von der
Leyen and head of Thursday's ballot on whether to confirm her
for another five years in charge talk has grown about objections
and opposition to her leadership of the commission. A vital issue
for some is the question of transparency that was kept on
Wednesday ahead of the boat by an EU court ruling which
criticized the Commission's handling of COVID-19 contracts.
More significant, however, are questions about Ukraine MEPs on
Wednesday, in fact, a motion reaffirming support for Kyiv at
a time when Europe appears increasingly divided about the
war with Russia. That comes less than three weeks after EU
leaders signed a new security deal with Ukraine. The key
player is Hungary, which currently holds the EU's
rotating presidency. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has
talked about using the position for something he calls peace
missions. Those include meetings with Ukrainian war critics, like
China's President Xi Jinping, Donald Trump, and a visit to
Moscow.
Adam Curry: And what's the over under Do you think she'll she'll
stay in? Are they going
John C Dvorak: according to this morning? She's back. Oh, really?
Yeah, she's in. Ah,
Adam Curry: well, I'm happy because we need her for the
show. She's good for the show. She's
John C Dvorak: good for the show.
Adam Curry: And my last clip before we will person she is Oh
no, she's the worst. She's never been elected by the public to
anything. She was a failed finance minister for Germany.
People discarded her. They didn't like her and she totally,
totally was all in on the backroom deals with Pfizer.
Yeah, and everyone knows her stage. Everyone must be a lot
more Pfizer stooges for her to stay in. Yeah, good tribe.
Maloney are
John C Dvorak: voices amazing.
Adam Curry: I'm Georgia Maloney. Texas news, which is also it's
actually it's a it's no agenda news. It's Texas and California
living
Unknown: in capital X and Texas billionaire mogul Elon Musk
shared on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter
that he's had it but California. He plans to move its
headquarters in that of SpaceX to the Lone Star State. Musk
explained he decided to make the move after California's governor
signed into law, a pro LGBTQ plus bill. This
is the final straw because of this law and the many others
that preceded it attacking both families and companies. SpaceX
will now move its headquarters from Hawthorne, California, to
Starbase, Texas and x's headquarters will move to Austin
have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to
get in and out of the building.
From The California law that asks AI or give schools more
leeway in regard to informing parents of a child's gender
choices. It forbids schools from requiring teachers to tell the
parents of any changes. Elon Musk has long voiced
inflammatory statements against trans people. And he hasn't
trans daughter in court documents that she no longer has
a relationship with him.
Adam Curry: I think Austin should block this. They don't
want it we don't want that trash that x trash.
John C Dvorak: Well, he this is he has to do this stuff publicly
because the to get out of California to because he's gonna
get some billions of dollars in payment. He has to get out of
California, very publicly, and it can't have any connections to
like, the Twitter offices or anything because California goes
after you have an exit tax, right? No, not just extra tax a
claim that you're if you spend more than so many hours in
California a year, you're considered a California citizen.
And so the only way to really extract your so you have to get
everything out. You got to make it very public. And then you
have to, then they're still gonna go after you. They're very
into going after people who leave the states.
Adam Curry: Wow, that's like leaving the Manson family is
John C Dvorak: exactly the same as Democrats. I said this, you
know, a number of times I mentioned it, which the Democrat
party which runs California is more like a cult than it is like
a party political party. I mean, so when you quit the cult,
Adam Curry: it's hard is that while you're still there, you're
afraid of the cult? No,
John C Dvorak: no, I've divorced myself from the cult. In
1979 1980, and it took this long to be accepted as some outsider.
I'm not in the call. I don't. Nobody cares. But I'm telling
you for at least a decade, I was hounded for not being a
Democrat. I'm

John C Dvorak: Only because your voice
Adam Curry: is the best. Come on. We all know it's good. Show
this is what we do every single show.
Unknown: JC That's
Adam Curry: right, everybody. It is a tip from John C. Dvorak as
we lead you into your weekend. Well, almost weekend. John, what
kind of tip do you have for us today,
John C Dvorak: I have a food tip, a food tip.
Adam Curry: We love our food.
John C Dvorak: And the only reason I'm going to bring this
tip up is because every time I go to the store that is the
situation that occurs and I always have to I have actually
discussed this with shop fellow shoppers at the grocery store
and ocean whose and very few people seem to know this simple
fact. Which is that pineapples are not bananas and they don't
ripen after they're picked. They stay frozen in time as to the
ripeness when you buy a pineapple, and for some reason,
almost nobody knows this. So how do you always think of
everything is a banana or even all kinds of things ripe and
after you're picking but not pineapples. So pineapples you
want to
Adam Curry: if you go if you go before me, that'll that's that's
going to be I'm going to put that in my eulogy John taught me
people think everything's a banana. And that's just not true
people.
John C Dvorak: So pie when you buy a pineapple, you want to get
one that is gold colored not green, but gold colored because
it is by a green when this all greenish is not going to go
anywhere. It's going to be sour and kind of like not as sweet as
it should be. So the things should be solid gold colored.
You don't find me very often but when you do, they stand out like
a sore thumb. And that's the one you buy a gold pineapple. And
when you cut one of those babies open, they're super sweet. The
core is edible. It's unbelievable how good that
pineapple is when it's ripe, but it will not ripen.
Unknown: Good news, it's good advice. John
says
Adam Curry: everybody is going to be valuable tip of the day. I
hit my own tip here, tips too long. And that will conclude our
broadcast day live from Northern Silicon Valley and the Texas

leave, though, we do have a couple of end of show mixes
we're getting short on people doing these kinds of end of show
