John C Dvorak: Don't let them eat the cats.
Unknown: Adam curry. John C Dvorak, it's Sunday,
Adam Curry: September 15, 2024 this is your award winning
giveaway nation. Media assassination, Episode 1695.
This
Unknown: is no agenda,
Adam Curry: watching world war three and broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas show country here in FEMA Region.
Number six. Why? In the morning, everybody? I'm Adam curry from
John C Dvorak: Northern Silicon Valley, where we are not eating
the dogs yet. I'm John C Dvorak. It's
Adam Curry: crackpot and buzzkill in the morning. Yeah.
Keyword, yet, yet. That's right. Oh, man, I'm slow today. Bye.
No, we, we went out last night.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, night before a show. Well,
Adam Curry: you want to hear about it was, was kind of
interesting. It was the Fredericksburg Tea Party, boots
and barbecue dinner. Yes, I knew, I knew you'd want to hear
about it. Yeah, typically I would, I wouldn't really go to
something of this. Certainly, anything that's a party. But the
Tea Party in Fredericksburg is, I mean, you know, it's not still
a tea party. It's an old school tea party. It's not, you know,
like the Ron Paul Yeah, days of tea party. So not really, it's
not really a political party, but it's a reason for the good
old boys and girls to get together.
Unknown: And did you wear boots?
Adam Curry: I did. Did Tina? Tina wore, like, a cute skirt
and boots, and I discovered I need a hat, because I was one of
the few without a hat. So of course, the Fredericksburg Tea
Party, boots and barbecue was held in beautiful downtown
Kerrville. There's no There's no place that can facilitate there
were 350 people there. It was. It was quite a, quite a get
together. Now, this is organized by Matt long. Matt is a fixture
in in Fredericksburg. He's been running the Tea Party for 15
years, and he's actually the guy who's also organizing the no
agenda meetup on the 18th of October at the full moon in bed
and breakfast. Plug, well, of course, it's a plug. And I met
Jenny, Jenny McCombs,
John C Dvorak: who owns, oh, Jenny, I've always wanted to
meet Jenny. She owns
Adam Curry: the full moon in bed and breakfast, and she's very
excited to meet everybody. And she says she's, she's a January
sixer, tried, convicted. I think she even served time wise, yeah,
I think she served time in prison.
John C Dvorak: She went to DC, yeah, oh, yeah. This is
dedication. I like it. So I
Adam Curry: didn't get the chat with her real long. So I'll get,
I'll get the full story when we see her on the 18th. Anyway,
there were some speakers, which was quite interesting, Rick
Green, who runs the Patriot Academy, which is that's a place
here in right near Fredericksburg, where you can go
and learn how the Constitution works and how Congress works and
how you get a bill on the floor. And they educate young people,
but probably they're just as well known for their four day
personal self defense class.
John C Dvorak: So they're basically doing what the high
schools should have been, yes, for decades, exactly.
Adam Curry: It's like a highway, yeah, then with the four day
pistol training, and it's great. He gets up, he says, Yeah, well,
John C Dvorak: he used to have gun clubs, of course, high
school, of course.
Adam Curry: He gets up says, Hi everybody. I'm Rick. He's real
animate. I'm Rick Green. So what do we do right now, if right
through that door in the back, the dirtbag comes in his gun. AR
15 starts shooting. How many are you prepared? So you know, 30
hands go up, at least,
John C Dvorak: all holding guns. They shoot them all in the air.
That's what would really be
Adam Curry: funny. No one actually pulled their gun up.
And he said, but are you prepared to get the job done
anyway? It was a good pitch. Really good pitch. Then,
John C Dvorak: this is sounded nuttier and nuttier by the
minute. It was one. No,
Adam Curry: this is great. Then, Chip, Roy spoke our chip, Roy
was there. Yes, Chip, Roy was there. And very dark. Chip Roy
very dark. This is it. This is if we don't win this election,
we're all gonna die.
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's the pitch,
Adam Curry: yeah. And then he gave his pitch for the Save Act,
which is the, was it like? I think it's basically make sure
illegals don't vote in our elections. Act, which is, which
was controversial, because it kind of blew up, I think this
week, where, what's our what's our? Guy that from Kentucky,
Massey, he said, Now, this is all nonsense. They jam all this
stuff into
John C Dvorak: the Massey, yes, I don't do we. There is a clip
going around. I never took it, but Massey is the guy to do
this. He is the wet blanket in the Republican, yeah. Party who
doesn't put up with anything, and everybody rolls their eyes,
and they all love him.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's kind of like a new Rand Paul. He's like,
No, I'm just not going to do this nonsense. So, so chip,
right? You know, he's okay, but, you know, I can't remember what
it was, but he, he, sometimes he, he does stuff. I'm like,
Man, I don't know. Man, he's, seems like a good old boy who
got, got a little bit too much politician in him, but it was
nice he was there. That was nice, but that was a lot
John C Dvorak: different than my, uh, yesterday. Well, I'm
Adam Curry: not done yet. Oh no, I haven't gone to the headliner.
Wow. Oh yeah, there's a headliner. So after chip,
pardon, after chip Roy, the trumped up Texan, came in, who
was a Trump impersonator, very good, and he even took questions
from the audience and stayed in character. I was well impressed
with that guy. But then the headliner, the one, the only Mr.
Mike pillow himself, Mike Lindell,
John C Dvorak: so you got to meet me. You got to meet Mike.
Adam Curry: I did. I met Mike and get a free pillow. He was
not handing it's not going too well with my pillow.com. Why? Oh
well, they pretty much canceled them out of every box store, and
they've the guy. They canceled his accounts. They they his
American Express account, his Merc credit card. Oh yeah, he
got completely deplatformed.
John C Dvorak: You didn't know American Express canceled him.
Oh yeah, for what
Adam Curry: for? Uh, questioning the elections.
John C Dvorak: What's that got to do with mercantile acceptance
of a credit card, yeah, they he got canceled. So American
Express is an activist organization. Is
Adam Curry: that what you're saying? I would say so and
chase. You know, all his bank accounts got frozen. But the
worst part is, he couldn't accept any credit cards, so he
had to,
John C Dvorak: yeah, that sucks.
Adam Curry: If you're selling stuff, yes, it kind of does.
John C Dvorak: And that should be illegal. Actually,
Adam Curry: of course it should be. So a couple of observations,
shorter than I thought he was. I thought he was a much taller
guy. For some reason he
John C Dvorak: looked to be about five six to me, yeah,
that's about maybe five
Adam Curry: seven. Little bit tall enough, but I thought he
was kind of like six foot plus, you know, and severe. I mean,
severe. ADHD, this guy can't, can't look in one direction for
more than three seconds. He's all over the map. You think it's
Tourette's? No, it's just, it's real. ADHD, no, not Tourette's.
But as he was speaking, I figured out he has a superpower.
He was telling some of his history, some of it's well
known, but at one point he was a professional card counter in
Vegas. I could see that, yes, and so this is why he got
involved in these voting machines, because he could see
the deviations, and he, you know, you know how people have
that insight. They can
John C Dvorak: look at a spreadsheet. It's always beyond
me, but yes, I have talked about this on the show, about how
people can see what. They can see radio waves. They can
visualize radio waves. They can visualize like good friend of
mine can visualize every, every signal on a on a bus, like a
computer card bus. You can see that you can look at these
signals, you can see Whoa, that's not going to work, or, or
every so often that's going to Oh, that's a conflict. That's
Adam Curry: that's a little beyond what Mike Lindell can do.
Well,
John C Dvorak: I'm just saying there are people out there with
weird, whoa,
Adam Curry: that counts for two. That's a double weird that you I
didn't say two. I didn't say it twice, no, but it was so long
and so pronounced, I think it's no, no.
John C Dvorak: I only got counted for one. One, okay, but
I'm just saying it's astonishing to me that these skills exist so
he can and, oh, he went, just one more thing. People who have
this skill, these, whatever they are, the, you know, this natural
skills, they don't even know it. You almost have to point it out
to him. Well, he knows it. And, and, you know what, after they
get older, yeah, at some point you go, Wow. I thought everyone
could do this. So
Adam Curry: he that's why he was looking at the vote. Says, no,
no, this is and so that makes sense. And he dove what he
spent, $40 million invest of his Oh, he says, my life savings,
which I believe that sounds about right. He spent. And you
just send money to people. Go ahead. Go investigate that. Go
investigate that. And he had example after example, of like,
Philadelphia, you know, there were
John C Dvorak: 80, yes, I remember during this, this
controversial era he was in, because he was on a lot of us,
he was out there. Fox won't even have him on anymore. No would
have him on. Oh, really. C span, and he would go on there with
these different experts. So they'd be discussing the details
of this. It was all including some statistical analysis guys.
And this is not possible. They would exactly, exactly. So
Adam Curry: he was giving all these different examples in
Philadelphia, 80 people who had voted were who were 115 years
old, just which seems, which seems unlikely. He was
explaining how some people who would would initially run as an
as a third party, independent in some districts, and then we're
not even on the ballot, how they got votes, which, of course, is
how you take votes from one and have the other person win. So he
had, he actually says, he says this. He says, really, it's a
godsend. He said that Trump lost, or we'd never know how bad
the corruption really is, which I thought was an interesting
statement. He reminded us how years ago, Klobuchar and all
those, all those people were complaining about the very same
machines when they lost. Remember? Die bold. Die bold.
Yeah. And so his his whole pitch was, obviously, let's go back to
paper ballots. And he said the he said, The worst thing is when
people show up to vote and then they say, No, you've already
voted. So his recommendation is, everybody, you should get your
mail in ballot, but don't open the envelope. Just keep it
sealed and then take that with you when you go to vote on
voting day itself. And then if someone says, oh, you voted
already, say, Nope, here I am, and here's my sealed mail in
ballot. Oh, that's a good one tip, right? It's a good tip. And
John C Dvorak: what else that's assuming you don't want to just
mail in the ballot. No,
Adam Curry: no, you don't want to do that. No, you want. He
says the most, yeah, he's he says it's a mess. Basically, he
says it's a mess. These machines are no good. They're they've
been falsified the world over. Like, okay, yeah, there you go.
So a lot of oohs and ahs and then, you know, he did kind of
say, like, but really what matters is the electoral
college. And I think that that that was a kind of passed over
people's heads, because they don't really realize, you know,
we all like, yeah, every vote I gotta count. Gotta get my vote
counted. But it doesn't matter, because it's the Electoral
College who elects the president, and each state, the
legislature determines how those electors are nominated. So the
hope is that the Republican Party has their ground game
together in the states where it matters. Because, I mean, this
is how you can win the the popular vote and lose the
election, is through our electoral college. I don't think
people really understand how that works.
John C Dvorak: Well, we try to explain it on the show over and
over,
Adam Curry: yeah, why don't you give it another stab. You're
pretty good at
John C Dvorak: it. I'm not that good. Yes, you are. The
electoral college is the is a slate of electors that choose
the president based on each of the states having a certain
number of electoral votes that they can give to the Electoral
College and and the idea is, is to minimize the large states
hogging because they'll have they're overloaded with, with
people hogging the popular vote. So if it was just all popular
vote, 90% of the time, it would be deterred. The President would
be determined by California and New York, two or three other big
states, right? And little states like Wyoming, South Dakota,
North Dakota, these places, we just whatever they want. It
doesn't matter. The idea was, is to balance it a little bit and
to prevent the corruption of these large states which get
corrupted over time. As you can tell, anyone who's been lives in
California and New York with these big, giant states, they've
been taken. They usually have been captured by one of the
parties, generally the Democrats. They do the better
job of it. And so they would just throw all their votes into
the Electoral College, or the popular vote. And but the thing
is, the Electoral College votes do not necessarily represent on
a one to one basis the popular vote, right? So you can get so
by manipulating the Electoral College and just making sure you
win certain states in the upcoming election, that's where
they're called swing states, you win those you can win the whole
election, whether you get the popular vote or not. Now,
sometimes the popular vote does go the way the winner goes,
which like Reagan did that, and I think Bush did it once, and
generally speaking, to the Democrats, when the popular
vote, because giant states,
Adam Curry: let's say so. In a state like let's take
Pennsylvania, if the if there are more votes for let's just
say Harris the Electoral College can still give their vote. To
Trump, correct? They don't have to. Actually depends on their
specific law, on their laws, right?
John C Dvorak: Generally speaking, no, they can't just do
that. But it turns out, in this upcoming election, according to
everybody, Pennsylvania is the key state. That's why they talk
about it so much, right? And Trump can win without winning
Pennsylvania, according to these guys, really. But yes, but
Harris can't.
Adam Curry: Well, Pennsylvania was certainly helping her out.
If you saw the local Philadelphia ABC station,
John C Dvorak: which, oh, the one that did the, the the
interview with her,
Adam Curry: well, so they did, and I don't know how this
happened, but they, they did an interview. The raw interview was
published, which, yeah, even with the even with the count,
no, even with the countdown of the camera and everything. So,
yeah. And so I say
John C Dvorak: somebody took it from the studio, yes. So I have
to, I have a I have the begin. I have both these clips.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, I have them too. Do you have? How long
are yours? Well, mine,
John C Dvorak: I tried to keep them short, because the point
can be made easily without having to play the whole thing.
I was pretty boring. Let's
Adam Curry: lose, let's use yours then. Kamala, oh, gee,
which
John C Dvorak: when you went, here's this. I have the two,
yeah,
Adam Curry: we'll play the OG first. I
John C Dvorak: thought, yes, the OG, the original quality, yeah,
Adam Curry: did you pan it? Or do I have to pan it?
John C Dvorak: I did what I could. Okay, all right, but it's
going to be a little lopsided, not too bad. But this is a this
is the way that this is then. This is the beginning. This is
the beginning of the interview and how it started. Here we go
when
Unknown: we talk about bringing down
prices and making life more affordable for people. What are
one or two specific things you have in mind for that?
Well, I'll
start with this. I grew up a middle class kid. My mother
raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able
to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I
was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hard working
people, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers
and I try to explain to some people who may not have had the
same experience, you know, if, but a lot of people will relate
to this, you know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were
very proud of their lawn, you know. And and I was raised to
believe and to know that all people deserve dignity. Now,
Adam Curry: just as a little aside, with this clip, we can
confidently say that she was very good at memorizing her
prosecutorial lines in the debate I had to talk 10 people
off the ledge last night about the earrings. Oh, sorry, Adam.
Adam, did you think that they were the she doesn't need to be
prompted on that. What good would that be? No, no, those
were just elitist, expensive earrings. Oh, if
John C Dvorak: you're gonna use that technology, you get an ear
wig,
Adam Curry: all different kinds of ways to do it. Yeah, you
John C Dvorak: get it. There is the, you know, this crazy
earring story. Anyway, so that's the way she starts off, and it
goes on and on. And this goes on and on with this 11, oh, you
need dignity. And then, if this, she starts, then she starts
generalizing about one thing. Here is the way they presented
the same, the same this. They edited that whole part. They
just edited her. They took it all out, and here's what you
got.
Adam Curry: And before I play it, I want to explain the use of
naughties and edits, because you can hear in this audio how they
because you watch the whole 11 minutes, what you're about to
hear was not all set in succession. They edited this
together as well, and just briefly. When you go sit down
and interview someone with a one camera, you do the interview.
Usually you're the interviewer. The cameras over your shoulder
on the subject, and then when the subject is gone, because
they always have very little time, then you you do the intro.
Then they're going to switch the camera around. You do the intro,
and then you're going to do what are called noddies, like
nodding. You're nodding. You're nodding your head yes. You put
your hand on your chin. Oh, interesting. And then that can
be interspersed so you don't see the edits of this one camera
shot that you have of the subject. So when you hear
there's some obvious edits in here, in the answer itself,
besides losing that whole front end, and they put a naughty in
when we talk about bringing down prices and making life more
affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you
have in mind for that?
Unknown: So when I talk about building an opportunity economy,
it is very much with the mind of invest. In the ambitions and
aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American
people. Oh,
Adam Curry: man, do you mind if I play a little bit of the
longer edit? Did you hear all the edits they put in that
thing?
John C Dvorak: You might as well. But the point is, is that
the funny thing to me is that even the edited version of
disaster still
Unknown: we talk about bringing down prices and making life more
affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you
have in mind? I'll ring the bell on every edit.
When I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very
much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations
and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating
opportunity for people, for example, to start a small
business. So my opportunity economy plan includes giving
startups a $50,000 tax deduction to start their small business.
It used to be $5,000 nobody can start a small business with
$5,000 opportunity economy means, look, we don't have
enough housing in America. We have a housing supply shortage.
And what that means, in particular, for so many younger
Americans, the American Dream is elusive. It's just actually not
attainable. To help people who just want to get their foot in
the door, literally and so giving first time home buyers a
$25,000 down payment assistance, another plan that I have that is
a new approach, is to expand the child tax credit to $6,000 for
young families for the first year of their child's Life.
Adam Curry: It's better when you see the video. But anyway, they
so, they really, they really did a good job helping her.
John C Dvorak: Well, do you think so? Because she's she
still didn't answer the question, and her answer to, how
do you get gonna fight inflation, which is what
question was, just by throwing more money at it? Yes.
Adam Curry: Well, yeah. I mean, what I'm saying is they helped
her by
John C Dvorak: they at least sounded less like less, yeah,
less like an
Adam Curry: idiot, exactly. Now, her vice presidential candidate,
on the other hand, really tried to help her. But the truth kind
of came out, because this started, and I love this story
as a young prosecutor. You
John C Dvorak: I have listened to that thing a million times.
It sounds like she's he's saying prosecutor,
Adam Curry: I think it's prostitutor, because this Yes,
because it was suggested to you, I know, but listen again,
because this started,
Unknown: and I love this story as a young prosecutor. No,
John C Dvorak: I'm sorry.
Adam Curry: It's one of those blue dress, silver dress things.
It's great. When someone says prostitutor, then that's all you
can hear.
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, especially if you suggest it so
you have an LP going on.
Adam Curry: That's the whole idea. That's why it's so good.
Unknown: But yes,
John C Dvorak: I know I saw it too. Very funny across the
tutor.
Adam Curry: And you know, do you think that Hillary Clinton is
vying for a spot in the cabinet? Should Kamala Harris be elected?
John C Dvorak: I don't think so. No, you
Adam Curry: don't think she would lie.
John C Dvorak: What were you, what did? What are you making?
Much making you think this way?
Adam Curry: Well, she, she, she's out with her book, and
she's, she wants
John C Dvorak: to sell more books, some money maker, yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. But I was just thinking maybe back to Secretary
of State against and she was
John C Dvorak: so no, it's never gonna happen. Wow.
Adam Curry: You think she's completely done?
Unknown: Yeah? Do
Adam Curry: you don't think she Hill dogs got some fight left in
her?
John C Dvorak: No Hill dog, it has no fight left in her. Would
you like to hear I don't think she wants to deal with it,
because she can't. The only reason she was Secretary of
State, because it was supposed to be a stepping stone to be
president, and since she didn't get that, and now she's got this
camel situation where she's going to ruin it for all women
for the next 20 years. Yeah, probably figures out. What's the
point?
Adam Curry: Here's a here's a little bit of the promo, the
book tour. Morning Joe, former
Unknown: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has a new book
coming up, and Morning Joe has an exclusive first look at one
key part of it, the book entitled something lost,
something gained, reflections on life, love and liberty. Clinton
was reporting the audiobook When news broke that President Biden
had dropped out of the race for the White House. So
coincidental, she decided to record her first reaction to
that monumental shift presidential politics on july 21
2024 when Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the
presidential race and endorsing Kamala Harris, the dream of
seeing a woman in the Oval Office was suddenly back within
reach. It wouldn't be me, but it could be Kamala. History
beckoned, but a whole lot of bigotry, fear and
disinformation, not to mention the Electoral College stood in
the way. Could we do it? Could we find why
Adam Curry: would she say not to mention the Electoral College
stood in the way? Why would she even mention that?
John C Dvorak: Well, they're out to get the Electoral College,
and with the help of the media. I This is one of the aspect of
the Electoral College I didn't mention, which is that it's it's
not good for business. Go for
Adam Curry: the invite for business. You mean their
business. For the
John C Dvorak: business of advertising. For example, if you
had a if everything was done by the by the popular vote, then
you would then Trump would be advertising in California, which
is a done deal. California is sold. It's done. It's going to
go for the Democrat, whoever the Democrat is. New York's going to
go for the Democrat, whoever the Democrat is. But if it was, if
the Electoral College was gone, now, the advertising has to be
more spread around, a little more. In fact, you might even
need more advertising
Unknown: Ken, not to mention the Electoral College stood in the
way. Could we do it? Could we finally shatter that highest,
hardest glass ceiling and prove that in America there is no
limit to what is possible. When Bill and I heard the news, we
were pissed off that Biden was withdrawing and endorsing
Kamala, we drafted a joint statement saluting him and also
endorsing her. She is talented, experienced and ready to be
president, so it was an easy decision.
John C Dvorak: What was the best thing?
Adam Curry: She said, easy decision.
John C Dvorak: It wasn't easy, or wasn't, no,
Adam Curry: was, I think she would say, was, it was an easy
decision. I can play the last bit again, experienced
Unknown: and ready to be president. So it was an easy
decision. There's a little
Adam Curry: laugh in there. That's why that's probably, it's
a laughter. It wasn't easy decision.
Unknown: Laughter, experienced and ready to be president, so it
was an easy decision.
John C Dvorak: Why would you Yeah, there's a laughter, and
it's an easy decision to what say I say to right away. It was
an easy decision for her to say, I'm a Democrat and I'm endorsing
the Democrat presidential candidate. Yeah, yes,
Adam Curry: I think that's it. You want to hear more? I have
another minute? Yeah, sure, yeah. Why not? Some
Unknown: people have asked how I feel about the prospect of
another woman poised like a robot.
John C Dvorak: Yes, it's
Adam Curry: not a great read of the book. She's not a good
reader. No, some people
Unknown: have asked how I feel about the prospect of another
woman poised to achieve the breakthrough. I didn't, if I'm
being honest, in the years after 2016 I also wondered how I would
feel if another woman ever took the torch that I had carried so
far and ran on with it.
Adam Curry: She's a torch bearer with some
Unknown: little voice deep down inside. Whisper is that should
have been me. That should have been me. Now I know the answer.
It should have been me. After I got off the phone with the Vice
President, I looked at bill with a huge smile and said, Are you
dead yet? This is exciting. I felt promise. I felt
possibility. It was exhilarating when I imagined Kamala standing
before the Capitol
John C Dvorak: on his second this is such a long does anybody
believe this?
Adam Curry: Not for a second. It was exhilarating, and I so happy
for her and Kamala. I was so happy
Unknown: when I imagined Kamala standing before the Capitol next
January, taking the oath of office as our first woman
president, my heart leaps. Dick Cheney's after hard years of
division, it will prove that our best days are still ahead and
that we are making progress on our long journey toward a more
perfect union, and it will make such a difference in the lives
of hardworking people everywhere. Yeah, it's
Adam Curry: about to get harder for now, thinking
Unknown: about this momentous she didn't
John C Dvorak: say to make a positive difference, it'll
Adam Curry: make a difference. She knows the truth. It's going
to be bad for
Unknown: now, thinking about this momentous period, I find
myself turning back to where this book began, as Joni
Mitchell sang all those years ago, something's lost, but
something's gained. Hello,
John C Dvorak: Boomer. Joni Mitchell one of her great
sayings of something's lost, something's game. Wow, yes,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Boomer reference, if I've ever heard. One for Joni
Mitchell, throwing a lot of more sat and you still old, I'm
telling you. Wow.
John C Dvorak: Is that supposed to appeal to Joni Mitchell is
Adam Curry: to the MSNBC crowd. I'm sure they, I'm sure they
eaten it up. They love it. Meanwhile, Trump had a very
interesting talk at the New York, the Economic Club of New
York. Yeah, that
John C Dvorak: was a couple weeks ago.
Adam Curry: I hadn't seen this. Oh, you missed out as I pulled
the clip, because I like the question about tariffs, which
is, you know, was one of the big so called debate questions about
tariffs.
John C Dvorak: Well, and, you know, I have a pre clip, a pre
clip, okay, before you play that, all right, my list,
Adam Curry: let's hear that list. It's paper. Uh,
John C Dvorak: this is this, this. This was not discussed in
the mainstream media, and I just think it's funny. I caught it
off NHK, play this clip, and then you can talk about
terrorists. Biden did what TF
Unknown: the administration of US President Joe Biden has
finalized a decision to raise tariffs on Chinese electric
vehicles from 25 to 100% starting on September 27 the
office of the US Trade Representative announced the
move on Friday. Additionally, tariffs on lithium ion EV
batteries will rise from 7.5 to 25% and on solar cells from 25
to 50% the office said the hikes were made after reviewing public
comments, Biden announced plans in May to increase tariffs on a
range of Chinese imports, citing the need to protect us workers
from what he Calls China's unfair trade practices. Well,
isn't that interesting?
Adam Curry: Isn't
John C Dvorak: that interesting? And how come nobody's discussed
this? Because they made such a fuss about Trump terrorists,
Trump, know, the
Adam Curry: Trump tax,
John C Dvorak: the Trump tax, yeah. But meanwhile, Biden, not
only that, but the 100% on EVs is exactly what Trump was doing,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Well, so why wouldn't so they couldn't make
any noise about it, and they did it anyway, like they really
care. They did it because they actually care. No, I don't
believe that for a second. There has to be some kind of you know,
if anything hurts,
John C Dvorak: the fact that they did it at all, and the fact
that the mainstream media refuses to discuss it says
enough, because they've got this narrative they're stuck with.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: says enough.
John C Dvorak: Who knows, yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Well, maybe to ratchet up some tensions with
China, got to get that thing going, after all, got to get
that China war going. So yeah. So Trump's at the Economic Club
of New York, and he gets the question about tariffs. And his
answer, I thought was interesting, because it wasn't
just about tariffs. The
Unknown: problem with what we have with sanctions. And I was a
user of sanctions, but I put them on and take them off as
quickly as possible, because ultimately it kills your dollar
and kills everything the dollar represents. And we have to
continue to have that be the world currency. I think it's
important. I think would be losing a war if we lost, if we
lost the dollar as the world currency. I think that would be
the equivalent of losing a war that would make us a third world
country. And we can't let it happen. So I use sanctions very
powerfully against countries that deserve it, and then I take
them off. Because, look, you're losing Iran. You're losing
Russia. China is out there trying to get their currency to
be the dominant currency, as you know better than anybody, all of
these things are happening. You're losing so many countries,
because there's so much conflict with all of these countries that
you're going to lose that, and we can't lose that. So I want to
use sanctions as little as possible. One of the things that
we have with tariffs is that I'll say to them, you don't
honor the dollar as your world currency. Is that? Right? You're
not going to do it. No, we're not. I said that's okay. I'm
going to put tariffs all over your product, and they're going
to say, Sir, we'd love to honor the dollar as the world
currency. You know, tariffs, in addition to monetary and the
money that will take in, which will be bigger than you've ever
seen in this country before, gives you tremendous political
power. Like that. As an example, I stopped wars with the threat
of tariffs.
Adam Curry: So, you know, we forget about that. But Russia, I
mean, it was kind of crazy that they were kicked off the SWIFT
system. I mean that, and which, by the way, Europe had more of a
hand in than we did. It's like, what was the point of that? If,
if you don't want to screw the dollar, which also, for Europe,
makes no. Um, no sense. That's obvious to me, seeing as the
Euro Dollar is the thing.
John C Dvorak: Well, the Europeans don't like us have and
the proper term is reserve currency. Yes,
Adam Curry: not the world world currency. It's Trump, the world
currency.
John C Dvorak: I know I've never, I'm never going to be
convinced that the Europeans are going to work and do anything in
our favor.
Adam Curry: Well, no, in fact, it looks to me more and more
because, you know, this is, it's not really well explained, this
long range missile stuff, but there's, there's more than one
kind of long range missile, and the one that the US talks about
is the atacms.
John C Dvorak: The atacms, well, they have the atacms, yeah, but
that's
Adam Curry: not what's being talked about. No, of course, not
so well. Actually, I have a couple NPR clips just to bring
us up to speed on this long range missiles issue with
Ukraine. Putin
Unknown: said this week, such an approval of long range missiles
inside Russia will show NATO is at war with Russia. Now, there's
no question the White House has been worried about escalation
from the start of the war two and a half years ago, and
there's always concern that Russia could possibly use
nuclear weapons. We've heard that repeatedly. Most analysts
say that's really highly unlikely. It's
Adam Curry: unlikely, then don't be worried about it. But Putin
Unknown: has often made threats of escalation after pretty much
every weapon system sent to Ukraine by the West, Patriot
missiles, F 16 tanks and so forth. But critics say the Biden
administration has been too slow in providing Ukraine with the
necessary tools, too incremental and too concerned about
escalation. Now Scott what's changed recently is in making
approval of long range missiles more likely. Is the fact that
Iran has just agreed to send hundreds of missiles to Russia,
and also they have trained Russian military personnel in
Iran. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that fact has
quote changed the debate.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's changed the debate.
John C Dvorak: I have a very I think Mitch. I don't know if
it's the same clip, but played my Ukraine use of missiles clip
Unknown: from NPR. Ukraine is continuing to push Washington to
allow Kyiv to use long range weapons provided by Western
countries inside Russia.
John C Dvorak: Stop at the clip. The reason I want to play this
is because this is the same clip. It's not the same because
different person different Yeah, but the model for this clip is
the same as that. I could have gotten you 20 of these clips.
And it says the long range missiles out of that war is
going to be with Iran, Russia at war on, and it's all because of
Iran. Inside Iran, we pointed out the last show, Iran has been
providing Russia with drones and all these things we they're all
been identified. We discussed them in the newsletter with
pictures. I mean, this is not this Iran thing. They're trying
to shoehorn it in. Is bull crap, yeah, but it makes
Adam Curry: so much sense because they you can connect it
to the Middle East, and you've got a Hootenanny countries
Unknown: inside Russia, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met
with President Biden at the White House yesterday, but Biden
hasn't issued a decision yet. By
Adam Curry: the way, that guy who was meeting with Starmer and
and and his Lloyd Austin, that was daddy longlegs. You can tell
this a different hair in the back that was a different guy.
He's he's still decrepit, but not like the guy with the Trump
hat getting on the plane, that was a whole different Biden
altogether, who is running stuff here, and that daddy longlegs,
John C Dvorak: what the Donnelly brothers, whoever those guys
from Blackrock are running? Yeah, they're running
Unknown: everything. And pierce Tom Bowman says new developments
make this a tougher call for the President.
What's changed recently is in making approval of long range
missiles more likely is the fact that Iran has just agreed to
send hundreds of missiles to Russia, and also they have
trained Russian military personnel in Iran. British
Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that fact has quote changed
the debate. Meanwhile,
Russian President Putin says if those weapons are approved for
use inside his country, that would mean NATO is at war with
Russia. So
Adam Curry: I have an analysis of why Putin says NATO would
then be at war with Russia. This comes from the CBC Andrew
rasulus, who we've played before for more now
Unknown: we're joined by Andrew Rasulullah. He is a fellow with
the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. He's also a retired
official with the Canadian Department of National Defense.
So let's just start with these, with the threats being made by
Russian President Vladimir Putin. Do you see them as
credible?
Yes, because we have to look at the context here. What the what
Putin has said is that these systems should the approval. Be
given. They require Western that is American, British support to
fire them. They're not just like tanks. You see that you can give
the Ukrainians a German tank or an American tank, and the
Ukrainians run it. That's very different from these missile
systems, which require continual Western involvement through
targeting analysis, data and firing mechanism, firing the
whole system. The Ukrainians cannot do it on their own. They
could only do this with the support that is hands on of the
Americans, the British or the French. And so Putin is saying,
because of that, that constitutes, in effect, a state
of war.
Adam Curry: Makes nothing but sense. I mean, it's already
American mercenaries who are in the field and advisors, but this
would be absolute proof that it is NATO behind all of this.
Meanwhile, the NATO gang all got together in Kyiv for the what do
you what are you hiring about?
John C Dvorak: I just realized I missed getting some clips of
Stoltenberg. He just interviewed by Amanpour, and I was gonna go
back. Oh, that would have been good. Ah, you should have heard
this maniac. This guy's nuts. When is
Adam Curry: the Dutch guy coming in? When's Stoltenberg stepping
down, isn't
John C Dvorak: No. Stoltenberg likes to go out. He was doing a
long interview with the banana and poor I've got, I will try to
go back and just see if I can find it. They she does so much
material, it's hard to get some of herself. They had
Adam Curry: the Yalta European strategy conference in Kyiv,
which apparently is just safe enough to have everybody go over
there, hang out that it was big. Everyone was there, hookers, the
whole deal, champagne, caviar, couple of those shrimp deals we
like so much.
John C Dvorak: Ah, the shrimp deals. Yeah, the shrimp pile,
the pile of shrimp on ice, pile
Adam Curry: of shrimp with caviar on top. And Deutsch
Avella interviewed this guy. Oh, what a card. This is Professor
Francis Fukuyama. And Fukuyama is some long term strategist.
He's in all the think tanks, Council and foreign relations,
all those things. So he's out there advising, I guess, Blinken
and anybody but the president, because the President doesn't
know what he's doing. So whoever is making decisions is not our
President and this guy, this, this is the general attitude of
the NATO, but I'd say, in this case, American elites of using
these long range missiles. So everyone
Unknown: is talking right now about the long range missiles
that Ukraine is asking for. From your perspective, how important
are these missiles really, and could they be game changer in
the situation we are experiencing right now between
Russia and Ukraine?
I think the long range missiles are very important that will
allow Ukraine to put the whole of Crimea within range where
Russian forces, that's one of their major operating bases, and
it's very important to be able to threaten Crimea. The other
basic problem is that Russia has used its own territory as a
sanctuary. They can launch aircraft missiles from Russia,
but there's no way that Ukraine can fight back, and the only way
you're going to stop them from doing that is by targeting
objectives in Russia itself. And you can't do this if you don't
have those kinds of missiles.
So you would say that these missiles would be a game changer
in the panorama. Well,
you know, there's no single weapons system that is going to
completely change the course of the war, but I think it will be
very, very
Adam Curry: helpful, very helpful. So we have to bear in
mind that Ukraine has already been divvied up amongst the
largest corporations in the world, the Ukraine
reconstruction project. I mean, everything the minerals that
Lindsey Graham keeps talking about. It's already all been
divvied up. They've just got this Zelensky guy sitting in the
middle. You know, try playing his part. Because the whole
point is they want to own everything in Ukraine.
Ukrainians be damned. And the worst bread basket, and the
worst thing that can happen is if Trump comes into office,
because then, you know, it was like this one, mess it up.
Unknown: Do you think that if the Western Allies wouldn't put
so many conditions and limits on the support they're giving to
Ukraine, do you think that the war could then be ended soon? I
think that that's the only way that you're going to get any
kind of settlement that isn't a Russian victory. Yes, I think
that it's very important.
Adam Curry: So interesting. He says that's the only way we'll
get any kind of settlement that isn't a Russian victory. He's
very important that there's a settlement because we don't want
to torch Ukraine, because there's good stuff there. That
we already own pre owned. We already got the down payment pre
owned. It's all pre owned, so we can't have him rubbing
everything. Yes,
Unknown: I think that it's very limited. I wouldn't put very
many limits on them. I'm not quite sure you know what people
are worried about at this point. But yeah, I think that they
should take off these constraints. One
last question, the upcoming elections in the United States.
So the government here, President zelenskyy, they're
saying they would work either with Kamala Harris as a
president or with Donald Trump. Do you think this would make a
big difference regarding where the war goes. Who will be
president next in
the US? It's night, night and day. I mean, Donald Trump is on
the Russian side. So he's going to end the war by, you know,
basically allowing Putin to get what he wants. So it's
But President Zelensky is saying that he could work with him.
Well,
of course he has to say that, you know, he can't alienate
Trump before he's even elected, but I think that it's going to
be the disaster for Ukraine if Trump is elected. No, it's going
Adam Curry: to be a disaster for you. For you, we can't have
Russia keeping all the good stuff that's ours. So so then,
for whatever reason, I think it's kind of obvious the US is
like. And as we know from the Ukraine Israel so called border
deal, or the Ukraine Israel funding bill, we know that the
only person who can authorize the use of the atacms, the US
long range missiles, is the President, only the president at
his discretion. And now, at first I was thinking, you know,
this could be kind of if they could hype this up enough, this
could be a reason for Kamala to pull a quick 25th amendment. He
can't make that decision. He's too far gone. We can't have him.
And by the way, we can't have him making that decision. But it
seems like the powers that be, the corporations who are running
our government, have decided, yeah, and yet, let's not do
that. Let the Germans do it. Oh, sorry, this is Deutsche Bell
interviewing Boris Johnson
Unknown: for Germany for chance, or do you think it's time for
the long range missiles coming from Germany?
I think that Olaf has done extraordinary things already.
Olaf Scholz, but I do think that the Taurus needs to be deployed
here.
Adam Curry: I do think the Taurus needs to be deployed. The
Taurus missile. That is a joint German French outfit that we I
don't think we have anything to do with them, the Taurus
missiles. So, oh, US won't do it. Let the Germans kick off
world war three. Olaf, should go all come on. Olaf, you can do a
mail, you pussy man, come on. Come on, Olaf. Send them all
down three things
Unknown: already. But I do think that the towers needs to be
deployed, and I hope very much that the German government will
do that. And but I also, you know, I think we all need to do
more, and that includes the United Kingdom, United States,
France. We all, and we all need to do more together, and I'm
sure we will.
How important are the US elections for this war?
Trump, as I said just now, I hope very much that America will
continue with the policy of supporting Ukraine. Whoever is
the whoever is the President
John C Dvorak: this okay, by the way, just as clarification, yes,
the Taurus is a German, Swedish. Oh, Swedish. I'm sorry. Sarah
launched cruise missile.
Adam Curry: Yes, Swedish. I thought the French had a role in
it too. I guess that's it, all right, so, but it's the Germans.
They're egging on the Germans. Now,
John C Dvorak: the Germans are suckers for this sort of thing.
You
Adam Curry: think they've done it a couple of times. They're
going to start, yeah,
John C Dvorak: they were totally suckered in World War One, and
then they brought them brought it on themselves in World War
Two. Yeah, they have this tendency to fall into this.
Adam Curry: But, you know, I look at all this, this has
nothing to do. Well, first of all, you can walk down any
street in Europe, any street in America, and say, Hey, do you
hate Russians and people like, no, do you know any Russians?
Yeah, I know some Russians. Are they horrible, evil people? No,
you can walk down Moscow. Do you hate Americans? No, this is,
this is corporate. This is the College of corporations that
runs the system. It really is, and it all fits together. People
always say, Who's they? This is they? They are running this
show. And it's just agendas that fit together because you get the
corporations that build this stuff, the corporations who are
going to own Ukraine. These corporations send money to
politicians for. Election funds that, and they get tons of money
into the into the lobbyists, all this plays back into Wall
Street. It plays back into the banks. It's only about dollars,
petrodollars, eurodollars, euros, pounds. Used to be Juan
and the rubles, this. It's all a business. And in a way, that's
that's kind of why Trump is so hated, because he is not a dummy
for the system, the way Harris is perfect. She's a dummy. She's
dummy. She's a multi culty candidate. She's got all the
things you need. I mean, even the Republican and Democrat
Party, the whole idea is to give us the illusion that we're
voting for the lesser of two evils, and it's always some
dummy. Yeah, it seems like the final goal is one big holding
company that all these douchebags own a share of.
That'll be That's your new world order, right there.
John C Dvorak: So one of the things Stoltenberg said, he went
on and on about how great this war is, and how why it has to
continue. He says, because our end goal. He said this, our end
goal is to make sure that Ukraine is is a member of NATO,
yeah, and we want to expedite that, and that's the only reason
this war is going on. Yeah. Russia does not want them to be
a member of NATO. They wanted, they want this just a neutral
state there, and we want them to be a member of NATO. All you
have to do is change that one variable to, okay, we're not
going to be a member of NATO, and the war is over. They can't
bring themselves to it. And what grossed me out was, NHK had a
one half hour, or even an hour, I couldn't watch more than 10
minutes of it because it was making me sick of cell phone
videos of the war in Ukraine taken by the Ukrainian soldiers.
Adam Curry: Oh, you see that stuff? It's bad. Oh,
John C Dvorak: they have some guy jumping and they point out
some of the details as they as they show these cell phone
videos. Russia has the the entire line there, where the
between the Donbas and Ukraine, yeah, just millions of land
mines and all kinds of pits and holes and and and the
Ukrainians. Meanwhile, if you see some of these videos,
they're in deep, you know, it's eight foot deep trenches. It
looks like World War one style fighting. It's a it's horrible,
and especially with would got me finally with some guy jumping
off of a tank to get to one of his buddies. And just as he
jumped off, he landed right on can they had it, filmed it. This
was, this is a mess.
Adam Curry: I've been seeing this, you know, for the past two
years on these telegram channels. And you see all these
tanks get taken out all the time. It's like a joke,
John C Dvorak: yeah, well, me imagine that all what you've
been watching over time is just compressed into a two a one hour
special. Oh, God, in a NHK, Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Should get a link to that so people can watch it.
It's
John C Dvorak: not like, I think sadistic to watch it,
Adam Curry: so just spitball in here. But if, if they send the
Taurus missiles in, I don't think you're going to get your
flattened Eiffel Tower. They're going to blow something back up
in Germany.
John C Dvorak: Well, maybe that was the plan all along when they
decided to shut down all the power plants, because you guys
start blowing stuff up in Germany. You don't want all
those things flying all over the place. And
Adam Curry: one of octave, one of our producers in Germany sent
me a note. I don't have it here, but I can summarize it. He says,
It's so amazing how the psyop worked on the German people. And
they also, oh, no, Energiewende, oh, we all have to go to solar
and wind. They had the most advanced nuclear plants. They
were so hardened that they even did a demonstration by flying an
airplane into one of these nuclear plants, just to show
that nothing would happen. They crashed an airplane into the
into one of those, yeah, they were advanced. They were modern,
and they just convinced the German public that was okay to
shut them down.
John C Dvorak: Wow, yeah. Well, the German public is seems
susceptible to these sorts of programs more than any other
people. Yeah. Well,
Adam Curry: they have guilds. I
John C Dvorak: mean, I mean, I think the Americans are pretty
dumb too,
Adam Curry: but we're up there. We're up there, but this is,
I've not been worth and I, you know, I also don't think nuclear
war is something that is likely to happen, but a full on war in
Europe, yeah, this seems quite possible, or at least expanded
to Germany. This is so this is so insane, these people must be
stopped. I.
John C Dvorak: Not that it must be that Trump should win. Yeah.
Adam Curry: You know, the question is, can trump play
enough of the cards with the corporations to get in? Are
there enough? Is there enough agenda?
John C Dvorak: He gave that speech in front of
Adam Curry: the Financial Group in New York. That's what I'm
hoping, because otherwise, trying to convince
John C Dvorak: them that, and I think, is his trump card, trump
card, so to speak, which is what he is a trump card, was this
idea of losing reserve currency status for the US dollar, that
would, that would ruin most international corporations. They
need that, and for a lot of different reasons, including the
fact that we can deficit finance and not really worry about it
too much. Yeah,
Adam Curry: which they benefit from? Everybody benefits from
that. I hope so, because, you know, look, they tried to kill
him already, because that's forgot about that is that ever
talked about anymore? Nah, I saw this. I saw Jamie Raskin in the
hall with audio. Was too crappy in the hallways of Congress
saying, Oh, we have a report coming out. It will be shocking
to the American people about the assassination. I'm like, oh,
okay, sure, unless it shows you with your hand on the trigger.
And I don't believe it, not for a second, not for a second, by
the way, breaking, breaking, breaking ABC. Whistleblower says
Kamala got questions ahead of time. Did you see that?
John C Dvorak: Yeah. The funny thing about that particular
report is the source, it's bullshit,
Adam Curry: because this morning, breaking, breaking,
ABC, whistleblower has been killed in bizarre car crash,
Unknown: puh Lee's.
Adam Curry: It was nothing. It was nothing. It was completely
nothing. There what you so whistleblower and he signed an
affidavit, which was notarized one day before the debate. It's
meaningless. And by the way, you're not a whistleblower. If
you're anonymous, that is not a whistleblower, that's an
anonymous source. Yeah, yeah, we've gone crazy. These, this,
social media is not good either. Okay, let's let me lighten it up
for a second. Just lighten it up for one moment. Little, little
light to light, light stuff. This morning, this took place
200
Unknown: we're bracing copy, 200 embrace,
bracing for splashdown. That will be the final call we hear
from Jared until contact with the ocean surface standing by
for a splashdown of the polaristan crew
Adam Curry: Standing by. Here we go,
Unknown: and there you can
see, as you can see on your screen and by the cheers behind
us, the Polaris Dawn crew has successfully splashed down.
Welcome back to planet earth. Polaris Dawn,
Adam Curry: well done. Okay, couple things about this. One
disappointing that we're still landing in the ocean with
parachutes. What? How about we do with that on landing? You
know, like on Earth,
John C Dvorak: disappointed starship thing from Boeing
landed in the desert
Adam Curry: looked like a pretty harsh landing to me. Second,
what was the big headline of this SpaceX, Polaris Dawn
mission,
John C Dvorak: what was the big headline that they walked in
space? They
Adam Curry: didn't walk in space. The guy sticks his head
out the hatch, he's got one arm like it's in a cast, and then he
goes back down. And they call that a spacewalk. Yeah, it was
not a spacewalk. And in fact, I learned quite a bit from France
24 I think, or maybe it was Deutsche Vella, who brought in a
NASA Space nerd to talk about it. And it was actually that
learned a lot about what's happening and what this was
about.
Unknown: A new era in private space flight has begun for the
first time ever to private astronauts.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it is 20. No, no, I'm sorry,
Unknown: no, have completed a space walk which saw them leave
their Dragon capsule protected only by their space suit. Space
X's new space suit has been years in development. I guess
this was the catwalk we saw today? Well, let's pull in Keith
cowring down. He's editor of nasawatch.com Keith, good to see
you again. So NASA calling this a giant forward.
John C Dvorak: I want to stop it for a second. Yeah, I saw this
too. I thought that this was kind of a non story, because it
was like, there's some point behind it. I never could figure
out you're gonna have to try to explain why you think this, what
they're getting at here. Okay, now go back to play it more.
Adam Curry: Well, what I Okay, well, you know, play continues.
Unknown: Or I want to say the the commercial space industry is
that what it
is, yeah, you know. And there's something about this that, in
some ways, this has been done before, back in the day, when I
was a little kid, this is how the first Soviet and American
astronauts went out. They just kind of did a little thing. They
came back in. Then NASA developed and Russia developed
spacesuits that have backpack. My little thing here they have a
backpack that has all their life support. But today, and of
course, these spaces, by the way, NASA has been using them
for 40 years. They're trying to make new ones, but it's taken
them decades, and they still haven't done it. Well, SpaceX
took some of Mr. Isaac his money, and went and developed
these new suits. And they're kind of like brand new sexy
things that are 21st century, but at the same time, they have
a tether, so they don't need the backpack. They get all their
oxygen from this. So it's something old, something new,
something tried, something true. It's new and old and new and
old.
Adam Curry: No, it's new and old and bull crap. What they're
doing here is replaying 40 or 50 years ago, which, again, for me,
is all questionable, since there's nothing, there's only
one difference between the spacesuits that are as old as I
am, and these are the ones that are tethered. It doesn't even
have the fancy backpack, which means you can actually walk in
space.
John C Dvorak: And the funny thing is, during this
presentation, the guy had little action figurines that he was
using to show off.
Adam Curry: I know I actually cut that one part out. I'm like,
Shut up with your action figurines. Do hilarious. You're
making my you're you're weakening my argument. So, so he
it's not a spacewalk. The guy comes out, not even to his
waist. He's tethered, so the oxygen is coming through an
umbilical cord. So they looked cooler. Maybe so was that it No,
no. It's really about something that is an old trope for Adam.
This
Unknown: crew went three times higher than the International
Space Station. Was that risky? I mean, what are the risks of
going so far? It's
risky in that not for the spacecraft. It can do this
easily, but you go into one region near the Van Allen belts,
where you get a radiation dose that's somewhat like three times
larger than you'd get if you were in the space station for
six months, but you only dwell or stay there for short period
of time. That said, Any spacewalk is dangerous, and the
further way you are, the further way you are. But these folks had
it all in hand and figured out, and they did their thing. And
maybe next time they'll float around and do something more
spectacular.
Adam Curry: They're trying to shield the astronauts from the
Van Allen belts for when we actually try to go back to the
moon again, which, as you know, I don't believe we've ever been
to. This guy is just confirming my my suspicions.
John C Dvorak: Oh no, no, if you confirm your suspicions that,
well, will
Adam Curry: you no one can determine my suspicions being
confirmed, but me,
John C Dvorak: by the way, I I've been in one of the old
fashioned spacesuit you've
Adam Curry: been in one. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Points.
There you got me on that one. That's
John C Dvorak: because we were doing a promotion at uh, Tech
TV, and we had to get into suit,
Unknown: ah, that,
John C Dvorak: if you I don't have claustrophobia, but, but I
would, I would have it. It's unbelievably. It's horrible.
What
Adam Curry: have you not done? I mean, a lot. Have you been to
the
John C Dvorak: sky dived?
Adam Curry: Have you have not? No, no. Can I make a
recommendation? What? Never jump out of a perfectly good
aircraft? Dumb idea.
John C Dvorak: That's an old joke. Yes. Okay, very funny.
Adam Curry: I'm telling you. It's just not a good idea, then
you're gonna ask me, if I did what? Oh, if you went to the
Titanic, did you go into submersible to the Titanic? That
would be something. There's
John C Dvorak: plenty I didn't, haven't done it. That would be,
that would be one of the top of the list of things I don't want
to do. Not gonna do that.
Adam Curry: But it's just, you know, like, go to the go to the
moon already? Someone go to the moon with people. Show me. Show
me.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you can. It's just what they're working
on. No,
Adam Curry: yeah, for the first time, exactly, for the first
time. So maybe that's what they're doing with those
astronauts, the ones who went up on the on the Boeing Starliner.
Maybe they're just checking for radiation. If we keep them up
there longer than they thought, will they die? Will they get
fried? How long can they stand with radiation?
John C Dvorak: There's been people up there for a couple
years. One of the things that turns out is it almost
completely ruins your kidneys, really. Yeah, there's a bunch of
research. Just showing that having kidney problems because
weightlessness, I guess she's not good for the kidneys. I
don't know why. Well, kidneys
Adam Curry: is not the only problem Boeing has. Passing
drivers leaned into their
Unknown: horns to show some love for the Boeing. Workers on the
picket line, let's go. Workers say the deal that Boeing offered
doesn't cut it. They need to fight for their family and stand
up for the future employees to come. My son is in
kindergarten right now. My
daughter's hanging out with me today during the strike. I feel
like this is a very historic part of my life.
There's a real sense of unity among these workers as they
stage this high visibility protest following a contract
vote that more than 90% of union members shot down. They say they
deserve a living wage, and we're standing together against
corporate greed, but most importantly, for a living wage,
Boeing workers are demonstrating at job sites across the region,
waving signs and showing their determination to hold out. Hold
on. What's that?
John C Dvorak: Are you telling me that the Boeing workers are
striking for a living wage. What are they paying them?
Adam Curry: This is not true. I was going to play the whole
report to tell you that, but they are it's not about the
living wage. They are sickened from one of our producers. They
are sick and tired of being spied on, being harassed. You
know, ever since all these problems came about, now the
crackdown is so harsh that they're being everyone's being
watched every second of the day. They hate it. It's become an
unworkable environment, which makes sense, really? Yeah, so if
you don't want to do the job, just raise the price. It's one
of my business rules. And then if they give you the price, all
right, well, it's a crap job, but they're paying me really
good the region waving signs and showing their determination to
hold out for a better contract. I
Unknown: myself I'm not scheduled to be out here till
next week that I thought I'm gonna come out here and do some
overtime of for the Union. Well, I'm
really proud of our membership for voting the way they did. It
was a big sign to the company that we are going to stick
together on this
as long as the strike lasts, it will deprive Boeing of much
needed cash that it gets from delivering new planes to
airlines. The company's chief financial officer broke it down.
Any
impact is going to be dictated by the duration of the work
stoppage. No strike will impact production and deliveries and
operations and will jeopardize our recovery. Late today, we
Adam Curry: learned that a new round of contract talks
involving the union the company, as well as a federal mediator
that is set to begin sometime early next week. I can't help
thinking that this is all a part of destroying Boeing, destroying
it completely. Maybe the Chinese planes will have to come in.
John C Dvorak: Therefore, Chinese are building a clone of
the 737, flying.
Adam Curry: There's there's airlines. They're already using
it, you know, I don't think, but the problem
John C Dvorak: is, if they destroy Boeing, where are they
going to steal their designs from?
Adam Curry: Well, the 737, is a fine design we can keep you. I
John C Dvorak: mean, there's newer designs coming out, and,
you know,
Adam Curry: they have them already.
John C Dvorak: They got those. Well, they have, yeah, but then
there's going to be stalled, because they don't seem to dream
it up their own
Adam Curry: stuff. You know, everyone's switching to Airbus
too. There's a lot of that going on. You know, the only problem
Airbus has is, uh, slow down because of interiors. The
interior guys can't keep up with all the different
configurations.
John C Dvorak: But it's less SK, use as the always,
Adam Curry: yeah, well, the full retail
John C Dvorak: approach, unfortunately, too many skews,
yeah,
Adam Curry: oh, standardized. It just feels to me like Boeing has
got to go. They just wrong. They just want to screw Boeing. And
you know, when does Elon announce his new airplane
company? They're electric. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: you know, one thing we do, I don't. I have any
clips, and I didn't come up in the conversation so far. And I
just want to mention because it was mentioned in that Boeing
clip Trump coming out out of the blue and saying no income tax on
overtime. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Where was that during the debate,
John C Dvorak: that he could have brought it out during the
debate. He had to have that in his back. But, you know,
Adam Curry: I don't know if that'll work as well as
intended, because typically, companies will give you what
time and a half for overtime, yeah, so wouldn't they just say,
well, there's no taxes, so there's no time and a half. It's
just times one for overtime. Or is there some log about
overtime? Do you have to do time and a half? No,
John C Dvorak: there are laws. And I know in California we have
laws that if you work overtime, you have to have time and a half
at least. How about just no income tax, double time? There's
double time. Here's here's
Adam Curry: a tip for President Trump. How about just no income
tax? I. Just like no income tax,
Unknown: which is printed, I
Adam Curry: got it all figured out, people, he's got some
problems, though he's got some problems. This is the latest
talking point about Trump. Earlier in
Unknown: the day, the former commander chief held a news
conference at his golf resort in California. It's there. He faced
questions on a woman who has been traveling with him named
Laura Loomer, a far right activist and a 911 conspiracy
theorist who has posted racist language about Harris with some
of Trump's allies now asking him to distance himself from her.
Laura is a supporter. I don't control Laura. Laura has to say
what she wants. He's a she's a free spirit.
Adam Curry: What is he doing?
John C Dvorak: Well, first of all, where did this report come
from?
Adam Curry: That was, I think that's local California.
John C Dvorak: I have, what was the racist language?
Adam Curry: Oh, I have that from, from joy Reid. If she if
we offer all things race, we go to joy Reid on MSNBC,
Unknown: Donald John Trump. Just look at the people he's
surrounding himself with, people like Laura Loomer. Now you'd be
forgiven if you have no idea who that is. She's mostly known for
Hawking right wing conspiracies and bigotry on the fringiest
corners of the internet. She's described herself as pro white
nationalism and a proud Islamophobe, has called Islam a
cancer on humanity. In 2018 she handcuffed herself to Twitter's
office building after being banned from the social media
site wearing a yellow star of David and comparing her Twitter
ban to the Holocaust after the passing of Congresswoman Sheila
Jackson Lee in July, Loomer called her a quote, ghetto b
word, and suggested she was going to hell. And just the
other day, she posted that if Kamala Harris wins the election,
the white house will smell like curry and speeches will be
facilitated by a call center racist much. It was a statement
so beyond the pale that even Marjorie Taylor green called it
racist,
Adam Curry: yeah, because it'll smell like curry.
John C Dvorak: That's how is that racist? It's everything's
right. Go to an Indian restaurant, it smells like
curry. Being a racist, yes, you are. When I go there and say,
Hey, this smells great. It's great. Smells great, terrific.
By the way, people should note that racist the call center line
was actually pretty funny.
Adam Curry: I agree with that,
John C Dvorak: but what rumors and numerous kind of a
screwball? There's no doubt about it. I don't think it's any
question about it. And she goes go to not part of his campaign,
but she's just hanging around. She's
Adam Curry: on the plane,
John C Dvorak: yeah, but people get on the Okay, well, she's on
the plane. What are they gonna do? Tell her. Did she get how
did she get permission to get on the plane? Is that been
explored? Trump?
Adam Curry: He says, Yeah, let her on the plane. He's defending
a universe for a fact. No, of course, I don't know it for 100%
fact, but it's his plane. You know, you can't. Gotta
John C Dvorak: have a handler that handles the who's who gets
on the plane is, I don't think Trump's going over the the lawn,
the list of people
Adam Curry: he defended her,
John C Dvorak: yeah. Well, he Yeah, of course, that's what he
does. And and
Adam Curry: if you walk in the supermarket, look at the rags,
the tabloids. Oh, he's having sex with her.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, he's having
Adam Curry: sex with her. Yeah, there you go. It's not good. He
should eliminate her from his life immediately.
John C Dvorak: Well, if she was smart, she'd eliminate herself.
She should. She know she's doing the campaign. She's hurting
things
Adam Curry: now she she's a narcissist, yeah? Probably,
probably,
John C Dvorak: if you're memorized,
Adam Curry: yeah, exactly by definition. Let me see, there
was some other funny stuff.
John C Dvorak: Well, I got a funny clip this from tick tock,
which is a little different topic. It's about gender
ideology. Well, I
Adam Curry: wanted to stay with Trump. Okay, you gonna switch
away? Oh, you gotta I got Trump, yeah, just I wanted this for
this funny, I can take you and
John C Dvorak: we're gonna say, I wait. I got two Trump clips. I
want to get out of the way. All right. Now this one PBS, because
we still have this background to thinking that Trump is the guy
they want in
Adam Curry: Yes, yes. To deal with the war in Germany, the war
between the German Russ jermo, jerma Russo war. How are we
going to call it Russo Russo German, German Russo war.
John C Dvorak: I thought these are two clips, one on Trump and
followed up by a clip on Harris from PBS his trmp up. I thought
this was a gratuitous clip that was just semi complimentary from
PBS NewsHour.
Unknown: Ongoing foreign wars played a part in. US
presidential campaign with former President Donald Trump
making this pledge to voters during a campaign stop last
night in Las Vegas, I
will end the chaos in the Middle East, and I will settle the war
in Ukraine, as I will settle that as President Elect. Would
anybody like to be in war with Russia if necessary? We would
when that, you know, but preferably not,
Adam Curry: no, no, preferably not.
John C Dvorak: So that was, like unusual, I thought, because it
wasn't slamming Trump for one thing or another, was kind of
like, okay, and then they played the little thing on Harris to
balance it, and you get this vice
Unknown: president Kamala Harris in her first solo TV interview
since becoming a Democratic nominee, said she offers a new
generation of leadership with a different purpose than her
opponent.
Most Americans want a leader who brings us together as Americans,
and not someone who professes to be a leader who is trying to
have us point our fingers at each other.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that's her main talking point right now,
we're so tired of it, which is actually not bad from a
persuasion standpoint. We're so tired of being divisive. We're
so tired of being so there are the divisive lines. Well, hello,
what you said, being yourself. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I
Unknown: was not a Taylor Swift Fan. It was just a question of
time. You'll probably, probably pay a price for it at the in the
marketplace. What
makes you think that the way you think should influence other
people? You sing for a living? Just deal with that.
Su Taylor Swift,
well, look we, we admire Taylor Swift's music, but I don't think
most Americans, whether they like her music
Adam Curry: or this is a little, it's a little Melange, a little
this is obviously coming back to Joy,
John C Dvorak: really, this, I understand, yeah, but who does
I'd like to know who likes Taylor Swift's music. Can you
even hum one of her songs?
Adam Curry: And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
That's the one. That's the only one that
Unknown: the way you think should influence other people
use, by the way,
Adam Curry: I'm sorry, we have someone who can sing every
single Taylor Swift song,
John C Dvorak: and that person is Darren O'Neill.
Unknown: That the way you think should influence other people
you sing for a living. Just deal with that. Su
Taylor Swift, well, look,
we we admire Taylor Swift's music, but I don't think most
Americans, whether they like our music or fans of hers or not,
are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I
think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests
and the problems of most America. Look
Adam Curry: at the nonsense our media is discussing this is such
nonsense. Look,
Unknown: when grocery prices go up by 20% it hurts most
Americans. It doesn't hurt Taylor Swift, well, that's
pretty much what you would expect from Donald Trump in the
mag world following Taylor Swift's endorsement of Vice
President Kamala Harris after the debate this week, all
because she had the audacity to share her thoughts with her fans
about the upcoming election and reminding them to register to
vote despite the Maga outrage, the Swifties assembled with
reports of an increase in voter registration. Get this by 400 to
500% since her endorsement, and now Maga world has set its focus
on its latest target, following swiftgate, WNBA star, Caitlin
Clark, why? You may ask. Well, because she dared to simply like
Swift's Instagram post. Apparently, that's all it takes
to set these people off. It seems the mega nut does not fall
far from the Trump tree. Morning.
Taylor Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a
sign Taylor Swift is not a Swift is not a psyop. Taylor Swift is
not
a psyop. Taylor Swift is not a
Taylor Swift.
Adam Curry: She's a psyop.
John C Dvorak: I never heard that that the psyop, psyop has
good huh? No, I guess it's going around. That was the Sinclair
Broadcasting.
Adam Curry: Exactly. Taylor Swift is not a psyop. No,
Unknown: of course not.
Adam Curry: Okay, now you can go into trans Maoism, because we're
there,
John C Dvorak: we're there. You that, since you play the the non
story, yes, of Taylor Swift, I have the worst non story ever
from NPR. And you i This is a one minute clip. I put it on the
list. It was actually on the last list, and it's like such a
non story that I'm going to say in advance, this is a waste of
one minute of your life. Oh, we'll never
Adam Curry: get it back. People, a
Unknown: secret chamber 30 feet deep was recently uncovered
under the National Mall in Washington, DC. Not exactly
Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets, but still cause for a
lot of speculation about the question, what was it for a
construction crew discovered? At the cistern while renovating a
part of the Smithsonian known as the castle, they only found this
hole because of a long term effort to revitalize this part
of the historic building, the first in half a century,
built in 1847 the structure's main function was gathering
rainwater. But
120 years ago, it was sealed off entirely until this construction
crew discovered it last month. While
there are some false rumors and Hollywood blockbusters alleging
that a labyrinth of archives or secret tunnels lie underground,
there's nothing out of the ordinary about this cistern,
except maybe that it still exists at all.
Yes, we must disclose zero secret symbols, zero ancient
archives were found in the rainwater receptacle after it
was uncovered. Sorry
to burst your bubble. National Treasure fans, don't
look over here. Nothing to see you look at that. Yeah, no.
John C Dvorak: Sorry to burst your bubble. This was they dig
it. They found a cistern, and they made a story out of it.
Adam Curry: Yeah, because they have to cover up the tunnels. We
all know. We all know there's an underground network of tunnels
that connects everything, Denver to Washington, DC with high
speed trains. Come on this
John C Dvorak: 70s. In the 70s, there was a fad of hitchhiking
in this country. Yeah, and every friends of mine that hitchhiker.
Everyone was hitchhiking all over the place, and so I picked
up a hitchhiker once, and I think it was a it was there's a
lot of cute girls hitchhiking. This didn't last for long, for
obvious reasons, and with a with just deadpan, she told me about
this, about the submarine bases that are under Lake Tahoe. Yeah,
that did submarines come into Wait.
Adam Curry: I need to back this story up. So you picked up a
hitchhiker. Yeah, okay. First, what car are you driving?
John C Dvorak: I was driving a Mustang.
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, JCD, bam, bam, hey baby. Now wish did she
was she just thumbing it? Or did she have a sign?
John C Dvorak: Did she have a sign? Let's beside you want to
hear the basis for the story. You just want to get look for
lewd, lascivious details that don't exist.
Adam Curry: You had a Mustang with a glass pack muffler. Baby
Bump, bump. Where you going? Going My Way? Mm, hmm. I'm just
trying to visualize it
John C Dvorak: for everybody. You're a legend. Schiff is what
you doing. You're a legend.
Adam Curry: Okay, so
John C Dvorak: the idea was, and it was just with a dead straight
face and total seriousness. And I've run into California's
loaded with these people. The submarines come into San
Francisco Bay, into an underground tunnel that's, I
guess, big enough to carry submarines. And the submarines
go all the way through California. You know, I think
it's like 200 miles to get to Lake Tahoe, and then they then
they're based there.
Adam Curry: So how many tabs did you guys eat together? I'm
John C Dvorak: just saying it's just like, who comes up with
this stuff, and why would they base and what's the point?
Adam Curry: Does it matter? It's, it's, it's what we do in
America, we think about our government like we're in some
some space age sci fi movie. And I will point out that RFK Jr
himself said that he was taken to the underground base in the
60s, and they had a McDonald's, an old city there. You think
they didn't expand that?
John C Dvorak: It could have been in Quebec. I mean, if you
go to Montreal, there's a whole underground city, and there's
one in Toronto, and there's one in Edmonton. They're huge, and
they have McDonald's down there. So I can see Kennedy being
stoned on something, and then going down underneath the York
hotel. I mean, the York hotel is one of the end butt ends of one
of the tunnels underneath Toronto. He was
Adam Curry: in DC. They didn't drug him, and he was a kid. It
was probably
John C Dvorak: down where the subway
Adam Curry: is, all right, what you got,
John C Dvorak: this is the kind of insane person that's out
there. This is a girl is telling she's giving you dating rules if
you're going to date her, Oh, there's rules. Okay, if you're
going to date her, you're going to have to live with this
situation with her, because she's gender fluid, and she
wants you to know what you're going to have to do, because
it's all up to she calls the shots on this no matter what,
and so if you're going to date her, you're going to have to
follow these rules. Here we go.
Unknown: Since discovering my gender expression and how fluid
it is, I've come to a realization that if you want to
date me, you have to be okay with the fact that you might.
Wake up to a little boyfriend, a little androgynous partner, or a
little femme girlfriend. You might have a boyfriend one day
and a girlfriend the next day, depending on how I'm feeling in
my gender expression. And I love that about me. I love that I'm
not being put in a box anymore. I mean, I think I'm the only one
that put myself within boxes, but I'm glad I'm taking myself
out of the box, and like allowing myself to be more fluid
with my gender expression. Previously, in the past, I would
date people that loved being with a mask. Okay? They were
like, I only want to be with a mask. I am femme for mask, 100%
you cannot be anything else. And they loved that about me. They
loved that I was androgynous, more masculine. They loved that
I would wear chest binders, and that half the time, I would be
perceived as a boy. I literally dated people who were like, Oh
my God, you just got called Sir, I love that. What do you mean?
You love that? Because I didn't love that. I didn't love that
I'm non binary. I don't like being called ma'am or sir. Okay,
I didn't love that. Why do you love it? And I hated that. Okay?
It was terrible. So if you want to date me, you have to be okay
with the fact that some days you have a boyfriend, some days you
have a girlfriend, and some days you have a little androgynous
partner. Okay, that is what I need. That is what I want,
because that is who I am.
Adam Curry: And you found this peculiar, because why
John C Dvorak: she's nuts.
Adam Curry: I love those, uh, those posts. They circulate on
Twitter from time to time, just like I'm looking for a
boyfriend. Here's the boyfriend I want. Must be between 27 and
33 years old, must be six foot two or taller, must make between
300,000 $500,000 a year. Must have brown eyes. I mean, it's
like what is wrong that we're living in a fantasy world. These
children have been these children have been programmed by
some horrible external force through our schooling system. So
here's a non binary gender fluid trigger clip. I hurry up. Have
Unknown: you ever been paid to be hate crimes? Well, I have. So
let me tell you about it. Okay, so yesterday, I was at work
serving this family that was sitting there like the three
wise men, and then all of a sudden, out of the mom's mouth,
I hear the trigger words, non binary and gender fluid. And
court is in session, and my ears are turned on. Let's do this. So
basically, the mom was trying to explain to the dad what it meant
to be non binary or gender fluid. After a few minutes go
by, the dad responds in the same way that every guy that looks
like him would, and says, you know, I understand where they're
coming from, but if you are biologically a male or female,
that's what you are. And then I'm standing there
on the spot. Oh, oh,
Adam Curry: no, horrible.
John C Dvorak: I saw this clip. I think we you know, she looked
and she looks like the type of person that you just don't even
want to be around.
Adam Curry: Parents. You should just take these phones away from
kids. It's over. It's done. Everybody a dumb phone back to
flip phones, and then we have these kinds of organized, I'm
John C Dvorak: glad you're, you've, you've warmed up. My, my
desire to get these clips out there in the public domain.
Yeah, and you've, actually, this is the first one you've done.
Adam Curry: Yes, well, as for me, it's a lead in into part of
the problem when this is being exaggerated and encouraged by
organizations.
Unknown: In just a few hours, the first ever gender liberation
March will take place in DC. The event comes as the US Supreme
Court has agreed to take up the case challenging Tennessee's ban
on gender affirming care. Arguments will be heard in the
fall, and a decision is expected next summer. The demonstration
was coordinated by the gender liberation movement, which
states that they are marching for bodily autonomy, self
determination, collectivism and the pursuit of fulfillment in
the face of increasing restrictions on communities on
the margins. I
Adam Curry: don't want to sound Boomer ish, but whatever
happened just burning your bra back in the 70s, that was cool,
like burn the bra
John C Dvorak: ladies gender liberation movement.
Adam Curry: Well, what this is about, and all the words are
tricky. You know, gender was a gender based health care you
know, it's like, I'm ill. I want to perpetuate this illness,
please. Would you enable me with the operations and medications?
And these organizations are the ones that are doing this to
young people, not gonna say children, but even young people.
Before you're 25 You're a moron. You don't know what you're
doing. That's cool. Oh, it's cool. Now sounds like,
John C Dvorak: what about the transition transitioned six year
olds? Yeah. Well, that's
Adam Curry: that is, of course, child abuse. The parents should
be arrested here well, but the parents have been told if you
don't do this to your child, your child will kill itself.
That's what they've been told. So it is an evil, evil, demonic
scheme. And here's one of the organizers, Raquel Willis,
joining
Unknown: us now, is one of the core organizers of the march
author and activist. Raquel Willis, Raquel, thank you so
much for joining us. We appreciate it.
Adam Curry: But now, how do you think Raquel is going to sound?
John C Dvorak: She's gonna sound like a gay male.
Unknown: Thanks for having me wet.
So Raquel, let me ask you. First, how did the idea for this
March come about, and how long have you been you
Adam Curry: already heard these clips, or is it just an
educator?
John C Dvorak: I have not heard these tips, but I've as I've
been collecting these clips longer than you have. I know
exactly what's working on your legs. Yes,
Unknown: it's true. Here we go. Well, we
like to say that this March is years in the making. We there
have been so many attacks on various communities on the
margins, especially LGBTQ, plus folks. But of course, folks who
need access to abortion and reproductive justice. So in the
last we started to build a bit of a coalition of different
leaders and organizations who believe that we all deserve to
make our own decisions about our bodies. Y'all
Adam Curry: and with the vocal fry, it's fantastic. Okay, I
have more. I have two more of these, just to make it worse.
Yeah, no, you're loving it. Yes. Did you ever see Victor
Victoria? By any chance that that was a great play. Julie
Andrews,
John C Dvorak: days are over. Being a woman play beyond that.
Well, that
Adam Curry: was a that was a mind bender. It was Julie
Andrews playing who as a woman, playing a man, playing a woman.
I mean, that was tough. That was, that was, that was
complicated person.
John C Dvorak: Yes, she was.
Unknown: And if counter protesters come out today, how
is the organization working to make sure that participants stay
safe? Stay safe? Well, we
definitely have a robust and strong safety team that is
there, guiding us through the streets. We're going to take our
voices and our bodies past the Capitol. We're going to go past
the Supreme Court, as you said, and then we're also going to
take this right outside of the Heritage Foundation. As many
folks know the Heritage Foundation are, you know, they
are a key architect of project 2025, we know that that plan
that they are putting forth will restrict so many of our rights
as queer and trans folks, as women, as folks of color, and we
just want to let it be known that we're not going to have
that we're going to raise our voices and continue to fight
Adam Curry: so this was the clear giveaway. And to me, I
think the whole thing, all of this transgender the
amplification of transgenderism is has been political from the
from day one, it's not about people or children or or
anything. It's just, it's just another thing like like Kara
Swisher, though they they're just going after trans kids
because they hate the gays. The Republicans hate the gays, and
they got gay marriage, and they hate that. It's all political,
all of it. But then the key question, this is ABC, by the
way, the key question. And Raquel,
Unknown: as you know, some of the things that you're
advocating for have become controversial political issues
in this really divided country.
Adam Curry: Oh, really, you don't say that's what she's
about wit that
Unknown: we're in right now, several Republican led states
have taken steps to bar access to gender affirming care for
transgender minors, which for people under 18, that typically
involves using reversible hormones to delay reversible
Adam Curry: hormones. Oh, boy, really have they invented
something we didn't hear about. That's a lie,
John C Dvorak: that's a lie,
Adam Curry: that's a big fat lie.
John C Dvorak: That's a Disney, Disney,
Adam Curry: Disney. There you go. By the way, you I would
cancel your Disney subscription. They're controlling your kids,
mind controlling
Unknown: them minors, which for people under 18, that typically
involves using reversible hormones to delay puberty. So
what do you say to people who may have nothing against the
trans community at all, but just believe that miners are simply
too young to be making these life changing decisions?
Adam Curry: Oh, you want to put any, any, any prop bets on the
answer?
John C Dvorak: Prop bet your lexicon? Yeah, you prop
Adam Curry: bet finally. Prop bet. You want to bet on this
one.
John C Dvorak: What is the answer. What would be the prop?
It would it be? She was only a binary situation. She's gonna
say. She's gonna have some bogus reason that it's good. I can't.
I can't. I actually might be surprised.
Unknown: Well, I would suggest that folks get to know trans
folks across all ages. You know, our experiences are not new, not
something that just kind of fell out of the sky yesterday, as
many folks have thought, we have elders. We have ancestors and
transces. Who ancestors
Adam Curry: transcesters.
John C Dvorak: This is good. Holy moly. What a show title
Unknown: mind us that queer, trans and non binary folks have
always existed, and actually one of the key struggles for a lot
of our people has actually been having access to the health care
that we deserve. So we understand folks may have
questions, but let's actually hear and be in dialog with folks
who know. Know firsthand what a trans or non binary or gender
nonconforming experience is. Overwhelmingly, the folks
pushing this regressive legislation don't know queer and
trans and nonbinary folks, and they are trying to fearmonger
and dig into ignorance. So
Adam Curry: did you have no answer on your bingo card?
Because that was what she did, no answer.
John C Dvorak: I did not have no answer. She just beat around the
bush. These
Adam Curry: people are dangerous to our children. They're a
danger. They're a danger. Shouldn't be you know, you want
me to wrap it up with some Neo pronouns for you.
Unknown: I'm in. So this is a video for neoprono users to
duets, or, if you're considering,
John C Dvorak: wait, stop stuff, she said, This is a video for
what, what was the phrase she used? So this is a video. Let's
listen.
Unknown: So this is a video for neoprono users to duets, Neo
Adam Curry: I can't understand that actually neoproninians
John C Dvorak: or something. This
Unknown: is a video for neoprono users to duets. Neo
Adam Curry: pronoun use, I think, is what she's saying.
John C Dvorak: We slow down because
Adam Curry: they're on speed, they're on drugs, they're on
drugs, they're all on uh, meds, heads. So
Unknown: this is a video for neoprono users to duets, or if
you're considering neopronouns for yourself, maybe even try a
blind react, however, safety first, before you do either of
those things, make sure you're in a mental state where if you
do get misgendered, you will be okay. Are you ready? Let's get
started. Do you see this person next to me is my friend C's had
to put up with a lot to get to where per is today. I just want
to let Glenn know that phone is valid, that for pronouns are
valid, and that Sarah identity is valid. I wish Boyd all the
best and look forward to maybe even seeing some of their lovely
content someday. Please treat them with respect, and I'm sure
a will respect you too.
A so how did that feel?
Are there any Neo pronouns that stuck out to you that you might
want to use for yourself? Good luck on your pronoun journey.
Good luck.
John C Dvorak: Good luck on your pronoun journey.
Adam Curry: I'm just gonna use that when I just say goodbye to
somebody here in the hill country. See you tomorrow on
your pronoun journey. Yeah, good luck on your pronoun journey.
You know, I was talking about the ADHD and I had this from the
last episode. I'll just play a little bit of it. It's the
oddest thing. But they're now saying that high doses of ADHD
drugs are linked to a greater risk of psychosis. No kidding,
and I don't understand how this made it onto NBC. This morning,
doctors are issuing a new warning to patients who are
prescribed stimulant drugs like Adderall and by Vance. This
comes from a new study published in the American Journal of
Psychiatry. It found that taking high doses of these drugs, which
contain amphetamine could put people at a much higher risk of
developing psychosis or mania. In fact, one
Unknown: estimate shows that nearly a third of patients are
prescribed dosages that may increase their risk of
developing these psychotic symptoms.
NBC News, medical fellow doctor,
Akshay Saleh joins us now to explain what this study found.
Doctor say, all good to have you with us to walk
us through drugs
for tests, walk us through these drugs in this study and just how
much of a risk doctors found they could pose to patients?
Yeah. Guys, good morning. Guys, yeah. So that the link here
between psychosis and mania and amphetamine stimulants isn't
new. That's something that we've known for a while,
Adam Curry: but what since? When has this been discussed? It is
discussed,
John C Dvorak: but we know, you know, you speed freaks is to be
called, course, as
Unknown: what is needed, you know, just as
John C Dvorak: one of them, by the way, yes, he
Unknown: was, is it was sort of getting some information about
what doses are required to sort of increase your risk here,
developing those symptoms like psychosis, Romania. And you can
see here, what we found is that you know, if you take more than
these doses on the screen, so more than 40 milligrams of
Adderall, more than 100 milligrams of Vyvanse, or 30
milligrams there of dexedrine, you have a 5.3 greater
likelihood of developing psychosis, and that
Adam Curry: these are normal prescription levels, 40
milligrams of Adderall, 100 milligrams of Vyvanse. So
psychosis, which is that, right? Yes, at normal, it's in the
story here somewhere. I think the normal is 40 to 60. Is your
typical prescription? No, the medium dosage of Adderall is 20
to 40. That's medium. That's
John C Dvorak: medium. That means as many as above as below,
yes,
Adam Curry: 50 to 100 for vivant. So hundreds at the top
ends, but it's all medium range. So you Yeah, that
John C Dvorak: means most people are getting or but half the
people are getting a psychotic dose. Yeah.
Adam Curry: And do you think that you could do. Stuff like, I
don't know, shoot up a school or do something.
John C Dvorak: That's interesting theory, but I've
never heard such an idea. But it really
Adam Curry: doesn't matter, because pretty soon, schools
will just have a machine. The machine will be a dispenser. You
go into the machine, you talk to the machine, the machine will
say, Yeah, I think you need to up your up your meds. The Doro
Unknown: app uses AI technology like chatgpt to offer users
early mental health intervention.
Adam Curry: Oh yes, there's an app. There's an app for early
men listen if you're on an app you already need early mental
health help.
Unknown: The user types their symptoms and questions in a chat
field, and Doro calling from information available to it,
tailors a treatment and writes back. So we, for
example, deliver ti PP, which is a set of like things that you
should do when you when you have a panic attack, what's your face
with cold water or try to do some breathing.
Adam Curry: I'm having a pan attack. Let me go to the app and
ask what I should do.
John C Dvorak: So if you see some of the panic attacks, just
throw the your glass of cold water right in their face.
That's right. That'll help. The
Unknown: app, according to rasoli, is also programmed to
glean if a person is experiencing serious or
potentially dangerous symptoms like severe depression or
suicidal ideation.
This is the point that if you realize the symptoms are too
serious, we refer them to the therapist. Oh
Adam Curry: yeah, yeah. Get that guy in apps, like doors.
John C Dvorak: Hold on a second. Have you noticed the use of the
word ideation when they when they bring up suicide? I don't
remember as a kid, anyone ever saying suicide ideation? I think
it's an interesting phrase,
Adam Curry: which means you're toying with the idea? No, I
John C Dvorak: think it means you're idealizing the advantages
of suicide. I think there's
Adam Curry: no, no, no, no ideation. This is a, that's a
real so let's look it up.
Ideation, ID, ideation, okay, the capacity, oh, here, the
capacity for the act of forming or entertaining ideas. So you're
ideating which it's like we used to use this at me. VO, yeah, we
were ideating on that.
John C Dvorak: Well, it sounds like a Silicon Valley, yes,
yeah, we were, we were ideating on I've never heard anyone say
ideating in my life. Well, you heard it, so now, now I have, I
can't say this. You've heard it severe depression or
Unknown: suicidal ideation. This
is the point that if you realize the symptoms are too serious, we
refer them to the therapist. Yeah, the therapist
Adam Curry: will prescribe you drugs. It's so obvious.
Unknown: Apps like Doro seek to help fill a gap, especially for
young adults and teens who tend to report higher rates of mental
health problems. This
Adam Curry: is a portal. This is a portal to suck kids into
getting them on drugs. A 2022
Unknown: study by Canadian Alliance of student associations
revealed that one in three students said campus mental
health resources did not meet their needs. The entry of AI and
psychiatry is a polarizing issue for experts. Eduardo Bungay,
professor of psychology at Palo Alto University, who specializes
in children and adolescents, sees mostly positive outcomes.
So this is a very good first line of treatment that may not
be, huh? Would you say? So
John C Dvorak: What school did they say? It's Palo Alto unit.
There is no such school. Let
Unknown: me listen again. Entry of AI into psychology and
psychiatry is a polarizing issue for experts. Eduardo Bungay,
professor of psychology at Palo Alto University. There's
Adam Curry: no such thing as the Palo Alto. You
John C Dvorak: I've never heard of Palo Alto, and this is not in
in the Bay Area, at some other Palo Alto, someplace else, but
Palo Alto University.
Adam Curry: This is new to me. Here it is Palo Alto University.
Yeah, is, where is it? I'm going to look a boot. Let me see
private nonprofit, Palo Alto University, a private nonprofit
university. Look what kind of university is that? Of his
nonprofit, located in the heart of Northern California, Silicon
Valley. That's where you are. Is dedicated to addressing pressing
and emerging issues and specializing in behavioral
health to equitably meet the needs of today's diverse
communities.
John C Dvorak: Boy, this is some bogus operation That
Adam Curry: sure sounds like it doesn't well. I
John C Dvorak: mean, it's allegedly bogus, I'll say that,
but because they may be litigious for all I know, I've
never heard of them, and I'm in the Bay Area, and I've never
heard of them. Well, they bring some guy, and they couldn't
bring a Stanford guy in, or a Berkeley guy, or a Santa Clara
guy, or a San Jose State guy or or any mate. You know, we have
major universities in the area, but they bring in a guy from
Palo Alto University, this like the singularity. University,
they're going to bring that guy in next
Adam Curry: at Pau, you can expect a transformative
education tailored to your needs. Our programs offer one to
one, advising, practical experience through internships
and placements, expert faculty, guidance and supportive
community. Graduates from Pau find themselves well prepared
for careers in psychology, counseling, social work and
behavioral health. This is some kind of outfit, man,
John C Dvorak: they definitely specialize. Yeah, that's
Unknown: that's for sure. Eduardo Bungay, professor of
psychology at Palo Alto University, who specializes in
children and adolescents, sees mostly positive outcomes. So
Adam Curry: this is like a very good first line of treatment
that may not be sufficient, may not be enough, but it's better
than nothing. This is to
John C Dvorak: get the guy from a Woody Allen movie.
Adam Curry: Listen to this. So they specialize in Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender mental health, cognitive behavioral
approaches to childhood anxiety disorders, pediatric psychology.
This is, this is a frightening group gender issues. They must
be pumping out salesmen for. Gender health care could be
John C Dvorak: it's definitely specialized, yeah,
Adam Curry: all right, well, then let me finalize all this
nonsense with the latest we have to worry about for your teens,
Unknown: a new study is revealing unusual changes in
teenagers brain development during the pandemic.
Adam Curry: Yeah, that was a good one. That was a good time
kids.
Unknown: It's not that surprising to know that their
actual brain changes that happened during the pandemic,
given everything that teens, especially teen girls, faced,
Adam Curry: this guy sounds like he's a graduate of the Palo Alto
University. The
Unknown: study found covid era lockdowns ended up aging
teenagers brains faster than the usual rate, more than four years
faster than usual in girls, compared to just over a year
faster in boys. The
authors hypothesized that adolescent girls were affected
more than boys, because they may be more dependent on that social
interaction and being able to connect with their friends.
Back in 2018 researchers began tracking brain changes in 160
people ages nine to 17, they found lockdowns contributed to
an increase of anxiety, depression and behavioral
disorders causing their brains to mature faster. The same type
of accelerated brain aging has been documented in teens who
suffered severe trauma, stress and neglect. But it's
important to note that these studies don't exactly tell us
what the long term effects are, or if the process can be
reversed or slowed down with the right type of emotional support
moving forward.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, we screwed up the world.
John C Dvorak: This is on purpose. Yeah,
Adam Curry: lockdowns was a good idea, wasn't it? Guys, two weeks
to flatten the curve. President Trump, flatten that curve. All
Unknown: right, so we've got to talk more about this. We want to
bring in ABC News Medical contributor, Dr Lok Patel,
Adam Curry: yeah, please. Patel, look.
Unknown: Dr Patel, it's good to see you sort of explained for us
in that story what happened. But how concerned should parents be
about this new finding parents already being concerned about
what happened to the kids during covid, and can the negative
impact here be reversed in any way?
Adam Curry: By the way, I would say to all the producers
listening right now, don't believe any of this nonsense.
Don't fall for it. Don't take your kid to the doctor. Don't be
looking if your kid is feeling older. This is all just medical
sales. It's a sales job, every single bit of it, which kid on
some some med. So be fine. Good.
Unknown: I think parents should be just more aware about the
true impact of the stress of the pandemic, stress from all around
us that that's had on those developing teen brains. What the
study really does is it adds some physical evidence to what
we already know about how sensitive teen brains are during
those critical years and how fragile they really are. Now the
headline is alarming, but it's important for people out there
to understand that our brains go through changes with age, with
maturity, and so some of these changes are not necessarily bad
on their own, but they can be accelerated with stress. So I
don't think parents should really panic from the headline,
but what they should be doing instead, is really doing what
they can to pay attention to the emotional well being of their
teens and their young kids and
Adam Curry: use the proper pronouns so you don't stress
them more. Whatever happened to our kids, what do we do to them?
Do. See any behavior of this in your children? No, no, no, me,
neither you know why, because they listen to the no agenda
show, and actually they don't know. They don't. And with that,
I'd like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to
the man who put the C in the atacms, the one and only, Mr.
John Cena morning
John C Dvorak: to you. Mr. Adam curry, the morning all shifts
and see boost in the ground, feeding the air subs in the
water, and all the Dames and nights out there. And in
Adam Curry: the morning to all the trolls.
I'm waiting for cotton gin to come in. We have 2076 but we are
late. We're late with the donation segment today. So I
don't have subs in the tunnel, I don't have a peak count, but
there's enough trolls. They're all hanging out there in the
trolls low
John C Dvorak: number. We're
Adam Curry: one hour and 50 minutes. We're one hour and 50
minutes into the show. So I'm sure it was more like 2300 you
can say that I am saying that because I know maybe building it
may be higher. Well, let me see, I thought I had a link to that.
I thought I had a link to the somewhere there was a link to
the there's a chart. Could see cotton gin. Cotton gins down.
Where's cotton gin anyway? The trolls can be found at trollroom
dot,
John C Dvorak: even he's not listening, it's so
Adam Curry: bad cotton gin is not even listening. Trollroom.io
is where you can log in and listen to the live stream.
There's plenty of stuff going on 24 hours a day. Or use a modern
podcast app, which you can find@podcastapps.com it'll alert
you when we go live, which is the, really, the modern way of
broadcasting, and if you can't catch it live, like cotton gin,
then that. Oh, wait, here's the cotton here it is. Here,
control, count, hold on. I got it here. Oh, the peak was 2190
so it is a bit low. But yeah, 2190
Unknown: Is it that bad?
John C Dvorak: That's terrible. I
Adam Curry: don't know about terrible. Also, with these
modern podcast apps, you get chapters and transcripts and all
kinds of fun things, and now you can it's also when you're if
you're listening to us right now, look for the little the
little dollar sign, or little stack of bills you click on that
takes you right to no agenda donations.com which is like
removing a whole bunch of steps. You don't have to think about,
where do I go to paypal? What do I do now? Just click on that
button. It's easy, and that means that we operate under
value for value, which is without doubt, the best way to
operate a podcast there's, there's so many people
struggling, trying to figure out how to monetize their show and
grow it. Well, forget about it. Forget about it. I mean, this
is, this is the the era of media being small. You just get your
group, you get your people. Those people support you, and if
you're any good, then you'll continue. If not, you won't.
It's survival of the fittest out here, narrow casting. Oh, I
don't like narrow casting. That's what it is. No, that's
Hello, 1985
John C Dvorak: I'm not saying it's a new term. No, it's
Adam Curry: not narrow casting. It's micro services, media.
Unknown: It's different.
Adam Curry: You don't like that one either, do you?
John C Dvorak: Well, no, actually, I'm thinking about it.
Maybe there's some element in there that is micro services.
We're all
Adam Curry: using little micro services and we're media. So the
idea behind value for value was funny. I sent out a link. There
were a whole bunch of artists, I think was the Bitcoin
Conference. They wanted a panel. They're all talking about value
for value, and they're talking they're doing it perfectly. I
mean, to the T they're explaining exactly what it is
like. You just put your stuff out there. If people listen to
it, if they like it and they value it, they send you back
value, even using time talent and treasure. This was for
musical artists, or talking about people helping them with
their merch, or helping them with their concerts, or booking
venues, merch, merch, merch, like we have no agenda shop.com
and and I was, I was really proud. Like, look at this.
People are using the term that we've been using for, well, for
more than 15 years as we come up on our 17th anniversary, and,
and people like these kids are not even giving you credit.
You're missing the point where they
John C Dvorak: aren't. This is true. But so what? It's okay we
have, when you get into this, this point of in media, in
general, everything gets stolen. Yes,
Adam Curry: the way, it's that works, but it's okay. I want to,
I want all
John C Dvorak: the clips we play. We're not necessarily. I
have to, sometimes even ask where some of these clips come
from. It's
Adam Curry: true. Yeah. Yes. So a great example of value for
value is all the work that our producers do. They send us
ideas. They send us links. Some of us send us ready to make
clips, although those usually aren't that usable, except for
the Jones brothers, of course, Jones brothers, they do a great
job.
John C Dvorak: No, it takes skill to to do clips it
Adam Curry: does and to label them properly. That's
John C Dvorak: it, that well, there is a skill I don't have.
Well, I'm used to your
Adam Curry: labeling, so it's okay, but keeping it within time
limits. You know, if you count it up like today, we have in our
bin 112 clips. Now we won't play them all, but, you know, we put
on this, this show, this performance, and we weave in and
out, and then it's like, hey, you've got something, I got
something. We just make it look easy, but it's a lot of clips.
And so some of that comes from our producers. What also comes
from our producers is our continuously changing and
entertaining album art, which they upload to no agenda Art
generator.com, another website we didn't build, because if we
did, we'd be poor. There's just no way you can't there's no way
you can have producers on payroll. No instead, we credit
people. We help them. We we've helped them launch their own
podcast. We do whatever we can. We send more value back to them
in many ways. And in this case, we have producers who, most of
them are Dutch masters, such as data. We have an or data, I
should say data, who hasn't come in in a while, but data's been
out there.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, he's hard working on and off for
years. Yes,
Adam Curry: and oh, by the way, Martin JJ is alive. We did a
Well, nice check. Yeah, did. We did? I tell you about that. I
thought you wanted to know.
John C Dvorak: I thought I already knew he was alive. No,
where'd you find out? Well, we did it. Well, I guess I made the
assumption I wasn't. Like,
Adam Curry: no, we did. We did a wellness check. He checked in on
the mastodon. He's alive, but he had a job change so he can no
longer listen live and do art. So his his life changed. But he
actually says he likes it, because now he can just listen
to the show and enjoy it instead of
John C Dvorak: working, oh, instead of fretting about the
art. Exactly. So Dave, yes, well, he was still when it when
he was on a roll, which was years ago. He was winning every
week. I think he had the longest streak of of accepted art. Oh,
yeah, any artist, yeah, that was at one time. And in fact, he
started gloating to the point where says, I'm gonna stop,
because I'm taking I'm taking up too much space. I'm too good.
I'm too good. Good.
Adam Curry: I gotta step back. Let some other young people do
some work here. So data brought us this delightfully cute little
kitty sitting inside a can of cat food, only called feline
delight. Which do you think that was? It looks like that must be
AI. I mean, it's so good. The
John C Dvorak: Well, yeah, it also has a flaw.
Adam Curry: What is that?
John C Dvorak: Well, the the flaw is the tab on the on the
lid is on the wrong side.
Adam Curry: Ooh, good catch. Yes, yeah, yes, you're right,
interesting, but
John C Dvorak: that's the only, but the rest of it's just just
such a cute cat head. Yeah, it was sticking out of the can. It
was a tomato soup can, a big tomato can. It just was too much
to not choose. There was,
Adam Curry: there was a lot of interesting pieces that people
came in with. There was a lot of cat and dog stuff being eaten or
being prepared to eat. Let me see, we had, of course, lots of
camel and Trump stuff, which, although it does happen, we are
unlikely to use, a lot of round stuff from comics or bloggers
prompt work. I kind of liked Taunton Neal's Springfield Paw
Patrol, but I but the kitty just it was hard to beat that cute
kitten. I mean, you put a cute kitty in a can, we're kind of
good to go. I mean, that's, yeah, it's pretty tough one to
beat. Anything else that you wanted to talk about really?
John C Dvorak: I mean, I use the camera buttons for the
newsletter the childless, catless ladies and a dog in
every pot
Adam Curry: for Camelot, yeah, appropriate use for the
John C Dvorak: news. Springfield was a good one from comic strip
blogger. That was good.
Unknown: Yeah, exactly.
Adam Curry: So, no agenda, Art generator.com, that's where you

our chapter art. And if you're using a modern podcast app, will
be will change topics. Boom, the art will change. You get another
chuckle. It's beautiful. That's the time and the talent portion.
Then we have the treasure portion, which is value that you

executive and associate, executive producers. Associate,
$200 above, we read your note. Executive, $300 above, and we
read your note. And wouldn't you know it?
Unknown: Wow,
Adam Curry: we have a rubbilizer donation coming in from let me
see, did I? Did I get the rubbilizer? Rubbilizer? Here we
go. We have, sir, not sure, from monument Colorado, coming in
with three sought, $3,333.33 rubbilizer. Out. That is a
rubbilizer donation. He says ITM Sir, not sure, Baron of the tri
lakes. This donation brings me to Viscount status. After
getting rid of the noodle people from work, I find my finances to
be much better, and I felt I should send a bit of treasure
your way as a thanks for all that you guys do. Please. Let's
run a business. Yes, and he got rid of the noodle the noodle
kids, yeah. Good for him, yeah.
John C Dvorak: The way to go. No,
Adam Curry: maybe it may be because we we told him that he
should indirectly, well and directly, please add me
September 17 and my sister, Dame Marie, on the 14th to the
birthday list and give her a biscuit for her birthday. See, I
got a biscuit for her birthday.
Unknown: They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
Adam Curry: I would like thee. I love my truck, and I love what I
do. Jingle. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your
courage. That's Mark rush Schall, also known as Sir, not
sure, soon to be Viscount, and that'll have to come from you,
John,
John C Dvorak: what, I'm sorry, what?
Adam Curry: I love my truck. That's not an actual jingle. I'm
John C Dvorak: sorry I was your noise maker, the birthday list,
yeah, I was double checking something. Sorry, but what so I

carbonara and a bob Brunello, Brunello, Brunello. What is do

John C Dvorak: I'll have to dig up the year.
Adam Curry: By the way, we got a number of reports from Costco.
Noticed from Costco. David Mike, Costco
John C Dvorak: still hasn't got the wine in yet. Yeah. David

Adam Curry: David said, Hey guys, thanks for the help. I
asked an employee where they were hiding the Costco, yes, the
four, the crate of four uh Bordeaux. And the guy said
another guy was in here earlier, looking forward to from some
podcasters advice. And someone also let me know that I think
this is completely due to your complaints. Costco has brought

Adam Curry: Oh, and she also wants, I love my truck and I
love what you do. Since she has a Toyota four runner, she's
changed it to, I love my four and I love what I do, but I
think you have to hit the jingle
Unknown: again. Oh, I love my truck and I love what I do, and
I know you to cook it if you don't use fresh vegetables.
Adam Curry: Wow, the extended remix, and I love this next one.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. Well, this is, uh, supposedly from Jason
Cali Candace in San Francisco, even though he lives in Austin,
his most of his life's been spent in Los Angeles. But okay,
we'll assume it's Jason Cali Candace, even though I doubt it.
Adam Curry: Dude, he literally, right after the show, sent me a
Twitter DM, and I'm pulling it up now. Here it is. He said, he
sent me. He said, I do a great Adam curry. I don't have a lift.
And he sent me. He sent me a copy of the PayPal receipt for
333 it's, it's really him, he I told you, he listened. I can't
believe you're now doubting that it's him. It is him.
John C Dvorak: Did 333 and no note, no. So he gets, he gets a
double up karma, doesn't he? He sure does.
Unknown: You've got karma.
Adam Curry: I thought it was great. Well,
John C Dvorak: it is. If it's well, it's never sent us to
Adam Curry: John. It's him. Would you please just thank
Jason nicely. Thanks,
John C Dvorak: Jason. There you go. And I won't you don't have a
list. The voice that I do love you. Is it more of a Sylvester,
the cat sort of thing? Well,
Adam Curry: sorry. And welcome to Texas. Jason, welcome Scott.
Have
John C Dvorak: Adam over to the ranch, yeah,
Adam Curry: did you just do that again? Ranch? Did you just do
that?
John C Dvorak: No, I did not. He's
Adam Curry: gonna have me over to the ranch. I'm gonna record a
little bit for you. I'm gonna have him record
John C Dvorak: a bit. Oh, he'll do my voice. He's
Unknown: very
John C Dvorak: similar to the voice that Mimi does when she
does me.
Adam Curry: Oh. Should hear the one she does about you when
you're not in the room. I know what it sounds like. Scott Cohen
is in Volga, South Dakota, and comes in, oh, our first
Associate Executive Producer, and comes in with $250 and says,
I'd like some baby making karma, please. Okay, remember name him
after Adam and John. Oh, karma.
John C Dvorak: Brian D O, I believe in Fishers Indiana, two

John C Dvorak: so a corteze. What's a Cortese?
Adam Curry: I don't know a bit. You're the wine guy.
John C Dvorak: God bless no agenda and well, he and goat
comedy or what. There used to be a winery called Cortese in
California, but since he's in Indiana, I'm sure he's not.
Adam Curry: It's an Italian wine. It's a white, white wine
grape variety.
John C Dvorak: Oh, a Cortese grape. Yes. Wow. I don't know
any wine is made with that grape. I just don't.
Adam Curry: Well, you're you're ill prepared,
John C Dvorak: yes, well now that I'll look it up and give a
selection after the next couple of donations,
Adam Curry: tell us that John, I'm just writing it in here.
John will give eventually. Okay, nice. All right. Well, way to
go. That's
John C Dvorak: the best I can do.
Adam Curry: Up next, we actually, this is Florida Lawn
solutions. Who hopes that that you'll do this read,
John C Dvorak: oh, go look back at that. I see The Cortices
here. It's some of them are quite expensive. Oh, Florida
Lawn solutions. They're in Panama City or Panama City
Beach, Florida to 1171 from Florida Lawn solutions. I hope
JCD gets to do this. I started listening since the end of 2021,
going through the archives of 2020, to 2021, on long weekdays
have been worth my donation. Ah, just getting some of the covid
material. Yes, thanks for adding that value and your courage. I
remember that you were running out of deducings. It seems that
the supply is back in stock. Do you need a new supplier? Oh, no,
we get it from Florida Lawn solutions.
Unknown: You've been deduced
Adam Curry: Florida long solutions for all your deducing
needs. Eli the coffee guy, is in bensonville, Illinois, and he'd

John C Dvorak: I don't have a price. This doesn't matter. We
pay for it. Okay, good. Got it. I can look up the price. I'm not
sorry. You're gonna do something is cheap, and some like $80 a
bottle. It seems a little high for Italian white wine that I've
never heard of. I'll

Lakewood, Colorado, asks for jobs karma, and she says for a

us. No agenda donations.com.
Unknown: Put some more
in the mouth. Spread the word and donate.
Adam Curry: Thank you again to our executive and Associate
Executive producers.
Unknown: Our formula is this, we go out. We hit people in the
mouth. Shut
Adam Curry: up. Who you, who you, who you, who
John C Dvorak: I got another screw, screwball story from
North Korea or from NHK. Another thing I've never heard of, okay,
this is the North Korea abductions. Have you heard of
this? Tell me you've heard of this. I
Adam Curry: have not heard of the North Korean abductions, but
I'm ready to listen.
Unknown: The 88 year old mother of a Japanese woman abducted
decades ago by North Korea has again called on the government
to take immediate action. Yokota sake told NHK time is running
out to recover her daughter. It's been nearly 22 years since
North Korea admitted to abducting Japanese nationals at
a summit with Japan, 13 year old Megumi Yokota was abducted in
1977 while on her way home from school in Niigata city on the
Sea of Japan Coast. Sakia spoke to NHK about megumi's struggle
since that day,
how patient she must be to keep calling for help for 47 years.
That really makes me feel so frustrated.
Megumi is just one of 17 citizens the Japanese government
says were abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 80s. Five
have since returned, but the others are still unaccounted
for.
John C Dvorak: What are they? What are they? Is the girl on
her way home from school gets abducted by the North Koreans,
and then they drag her over there and make her live there
and do work, I don't know is this is a screwball story? Well,
Adam Curry: it's a screwball station.
John C Dvorak: Hello, okay, screwball station.
Adam Curry: I must have received, I don't You got any,
but I must have received five different emails from people
around the United States to complain about with the simp
complaints, very similar to Aurora and Springfield. And I
think it's worth the just mentioning, because it's all
it's all the same. They all have the same complaints, and this
plays right back into the wage suppression. And it's, I can, I
think I can pretty well summarize what's going on and
how it works. And one of our producers is in Utica, New York,
and he says, In the 90s, the city brought in around 5000
Bosnian refugees as a result of our Kosovo War. And he says what
happens is a local immigration non profit pops up, lobbies the
local government to pass legislation to welcome the
newcomers, done under the guise of rebuilding a failing city. In
Utica case, the economy collapsed when Bill Clinton
closed the local military base and signed NAFTA, this decimated
the region's manufacturing sector, which is only 10% so I
think you'd be more destruct destroyed. The city was
desperate for a rebound. The nonprofits promised an avenue to
revitalize, to revitalize these communities with the importation
of cheap labor. And he shows me the refugee, refugee
resettlement services for Utica refugees. And if you look
around. Found there's one of these in almost every single
community where there's an overflow of immigrants. And if
you look at Springfield, the organization there is called the
national youth advocate program, they receive $160 million a year
to settle the immigrants. That would be the Haitians. Marvina
twig the executive director or president and CEO, her annual
salary is $1.169 million do you see what's happening here? This
is we, and we've been on this refugee resettlement thing.
There's a huge one in Austin, also with million dollar C suite
pay packages. Many of them are faith based, which is even more
excruciating to look at, disturbing. Disturbing is the
right word. So this, again, is the, is the College of
corporations. You know, it's like, okay, we've got some refu
we got, we've got a refugee situation in Haiti with, well,
there's some people over there. Hey, we'll give them temporary
protective status, and we'll set up this NGO over here. We'll
give them some money from the National Endowment for
Democracy, that's and USA. Id give them the money. They go to
the corporation say, hey, everyone there is drugged out in
Ohio on opioids. You want some cheap workers? Yeah, great. But
what happens is they give these, these newcomers, as we like to
call them. They give them housing. How do they do that a
apartment building guy, Hey, listen, you got cheap rent over
there. We'll give you a 30% more. If you kick everybody out,
we'll put some Haitians in there. Okay, no problem. You're
out. Pay a Dole or Hey, machine manufacturing, car plant
manufacturer, we got some cheap labor. Okay, good. But then they
also, they give the the newcomers housing money, they
give them debit cards with with money for groceries, and they
get their $19 an hour. So there's no way the local
citizenry can compete. And then what? Just to poke everyone's
eyes out all these the Haitians in in Springfield, they're
driving BMWs. They're like 345, year old beamers and Mercedes
and so they don't care about the citizens. They do not care the
whole system is set up, and it's happened all across America, all
across it. I email after email with the same story. I don't
know. I don't know how you stop it, but this, this is the
gambit. And Germany just signed a deal to welcome Kenyans,
250,000 Kenyans, because the Germans apparently are no good
anymore.
Unknown: Did you hear this?
John C Dvorak: No, but I'm not
Adam Curry: happy about it. Berlin has agreed to allow
skilled and semi skilled Kenyan workers into Germany in a
controlled and targeted labor migration deal. This is your new
world order. This is the whole plan,
John C Dvorak: yeah, and it's cheap labor, is it? The base of
it? Cheap labor? Cheap? No, not for the taxpayer we're paying.
It's not cheap. We're pay. We're paying the taxpayers are paying
for this. Yes, so it's being subsidized by the US taxpayer
who's being kicked out of the apartments that you have,
aforementioned apartments you talked about. Yeah, this is
ridiculous. This is worse than Oh, you know, this Indian guy
came in. I had to teach him my job so I could get fired. This
is worse than that. It's much worse than that.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, that's
John C Dvorak: what's really to me. Is somewhat ironic, because
I was thinking about this is that when California, we had a
system for farm labor, which has still been an issue. It's always
an issue in California, and you can't get enough people to work
in the farmlands, and we and so they, they had a program called
the Bracero program, because right now, Mexican nationals
will sneak over and they'll do farm work and send the money
back to Mexico, to Mexico, sorry. And the Bracero program
would brought the Mexicans up in busses to do farm labor. They
got paid the same amount, and then they shipped them back on
the same busses when they were done and when the harvest was
over, and they just took the money with them, yeah, which is
okay. Well, that was that was not good enough. So he had to
end that program because it was cruel or something. But now
we're doing this instead.
Adam Curry: Yep, and, and to make matters worse, have you
seen what they're doing with inmates in Alabama? No, it's. So
what is Kamala Harris is, by the way, nobody,
John C Dvorak: no, no wonder nobody's in the troll room.
We're depressing now.
Adam Curry: No, I think we're confirming their fears, and
we're we're helping them understand what, what's going on
in their world. This is not meant to be depressing. After
the show, you turn it off and go smoke a dupe. Everything you're
good to go. Everybody
John C Dvorak: was having the Alabama prisoners.
Adam Curry: So we have, for many, many generations in
America, we've always enjoyed using our inmates for cheap
labor. You know, making Ikea furniture license plates is kind
of the old joke, but they still actually make license plates in
jail and and the I think most of the inmates make between nine
and 13 cents an hour, depending on on what job you're in. So
Alabama has a new twist on this.
Unknown: Well, a lot of people are calling it modern slavery.
Does that feel right?
Just about to say that's slavery, that's slavery. You
took away the Wilkes, but you put the paperwork, took away the
Masters, and you gave put them in uniform. Same difference,
Same difference.
It kind of appears that there is a coordinated system in order to
protect the labor that's created by the prison system.
Walk into a McDonald's in Alabama and the worker flipping
your McDouble could be an incarcerated person. It's
a sad situation
a way, they getting rich off of the
Alabama Department of Corrections farms out
incarcerated people to work at hundreds of private companies
and government agencies across the state. McDonald's,
Burger King, Golden Corral, Wendy's. They got a Wendy's
contract right now. State troopers office, they'll send
everybody everywhere. They'll send you everywhere. Yes, the
parole office,
and even though Adoc trusts these incarcerated people to
leave prison every day and work alongside the general public.
Many of them are still denied the chance at real freedom.
Adam Curry: So you're incarcerated, you're in jail,
but we're going to let you out to go flip burgers at
McDonald's,
John C Dvorak: probably pennies on the dollar in terms of pay.
Adam Curry: Yes. How does this make sense?
John C Dvorak: And we're always bitching and moaning about the
Chinese,
Adam Curry: right? Exactly. We're worse than the Chinese.
We've commercialized it. That's slavery. That is real slavery,
right there. If you if you're safe enough to go out into
society, which is the whole part of incarceration, then you
shouldn't be incarcerated.
John C Dvorak: How's she gonna get the cheap labor? We win.
Win. We need.
Adam Curry: We need a new sheriff in town. Oh, I know.
Let's bring in Sheriff Harris. She'll fix it all for us, my
goodness,
John C Dvorak: but she actually kept there was a, I mean, the
Tulsi Gabbard slam against her, which is probably, we have a
clip of it. She mentioned that she wouldn't some guys were
supposed to get out of jail, and she kept them in there to get
them in so they could do slave labor with them? Yeah, yeah.
Once a slave owner, always a slave owner.
Adam Curry: We're just reporting it. People don't hate the
players hate the game.
John C Dvorak: So we can talk a little bit about about
Adam Curry: claim it. Week. Oh, how did I miss climate week?
John C Dvorak: I don't know. I was wondering myself.
Adam Curry: Oh, man, this is an important week, another scam of
epic proportions.
John C Dvorak: It's a beauty. I have two. These are both
promotional. They were on NPR. Okay, start with the new show
called reveal. This is the this is a teaser for the show. I
don't have the show because it's coming up. Is the teaser that
Adam Curry: climate? Climate teaser? Okay,
Unknown: we want to be the next Vanguard, the next Blackrock for
the climate conscious consumer, because we don't believe that
those companies will do what we need them to do to get us out of
this climate crisis that we're currently in.
That's next on
Adam Curry: reveal. Well, I like that the climate conscious
consumer. It's the Triple C nice,
John C Dvorak: a person that only exists in few areas of the
world. Yes, California, we have client, the climate week
promotion from NPR. There are
Unknown: a lot of ways for humans to both slow the pace of
climate change and adapt to our new reality. NPR is spending a
week exploring areas where we can improve
addressing food waste turns out to be one of the biggest climate
solutions. Of them all
join us. For a look at the future of food with NPRs, annual
climate solutions week, explore with us at npr.org/climate
Adam Curry: week, oh, now I understand why Tedros came out
World Health Organization, yeah, yeah, yeah. He made a statement
for climate week.
Unknown: Our food systems are harming the health of people and
planet. Food Systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas
emissions and account for almost 1/3 of the global burden of
business transforming food systems is therefore essential
by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant based
diets, plants, if food systems delivered healthy diets for all,
we could save 8 million lives per year. Who is committed to
supporting countries?
Adam Curry: I don't know
John C Dvorak: what. How are we saving lives or creating
Adam Curry: them. If
Unknown: food systems delivered healthy diets for all, we could
save 8 million lives per year. Who is committed to supporting
countries to develop and implement policies to improve
diets and fight climate change? I'm therefore very pleased that
over 130 countries have signed the cop 28 UA Declaration on
climate and health, together, we can protect and promote the
health of both people and planet.
Adam Curry: Well, let's start with the Haitians. They're
eating the dogs. All right, stop eating dogs. Stop eating the
dogs. Oh, boy, there. There's
John C Dvorak: a I don't have the clip anymore because I just
never got to use it, which is the guy who comes out says
farming is responsible for all climate change. We must stop all
farming. Oh, yet they have so they have a mixed message going
on. Here. They can't seem to get it together. Here it is. In
fact, there it
Unknown: is. Farming needs to stop. That's the single biggest
driver of climate change. Oh,
Adam Curry: so farming is the problem, but we need to eat
plants.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. So I don't know where they get in this, but
so my last climate clip is the one where the bread, eat bread,
bread will solve the problem.
Adam Curry: What if you could help address climate change by
eating more whole wheat bread? It is not the biggest solution,
but it might be the tastiest. No, not brown bread. Mom, here's
100 Burundi explains, oh, Sammy, you're saving the Earth. It's
Unknown: warm and fragrant at the Washington State University
bread lab, where a group of scientists and professional
bakers have gathered to taste slices of soft, mahogany Brown
100% whole wheat loaf just out of the oven.
That's the best ever. That is amazing. That's
Stephen Jones. He's a wheat breeder and Baker, and until he
retired recently, he led the bread lab. He wants to help
Americans learn to love whole wheat, because when wheat gets
turned into white flour. Joan says the rest of the kernel is
discarded. We could increase the amount of food that we get per
wheat acre by 30% if we just eat the whole wheat. Turning more
food grown into food eaten cuts the climate impact.
Adam Curry: I just want everyone to know that we can't vote our
way out of this situation, daddy Trump is not going to fix all of
our problems. We need to kill the elites. We need to stop the
nonsense and eat them. Eat them. Yes, we need to eat them. We
need to take a stand and say no, no, no to your climate change
nonsense. Oh,
John C Dvorak: you're in the minority. That's the problem.
No, we're
Adam Curry: not in the minority. It's all it's
John C Dvorak: just so, no, well, Chris, I'm in California,
so I you're
Adam Curry: in the minority. Yeah, I'm definitely. And while
we're at it, chop off California now that earthquake was a good
start. Yeah, it's gonna take a while. Well, there's gonna be a
big one. It's gonna break off and float away, and we're not
gonna throw you a life raft.
John C Dvorak: I think it's going in the other direction.
What California is pushing in for more.
Adam Curry: I hope not.
John C Dvorak: You know the there's, if you want. I don't
know if I had a presentation for this before, but there's a lot
of thinking about, how did the Rockies form? Because they, they
know how impact. You know, when you have the tectonic plate
shifts, it creates mountain ranges. And they're all They're
all accounted for. But except the Rocky Mountains, can't be
perfectly explained unless you unless you make the assumption
this is these guys would spend their time on this stuff, that
when the when the giant one gob of Earth mass, uh, started
moving away from split off of Europe and Africa, and started
moving to toward the west. Uh. That it impacted something that
may have been in the middle of that giant Pacific Ocean that
another landmass has never been accounted for, which turns out
to be California, and it rammed into it with big, solid chunk,
and that's what pushed up the Rockies, because there's nothing
else that could have possibly done it, except, yeah, uplift,
Adam Curry: except, God, that's my that's my story.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, well, I'm assuming that the nature is set
up to do certain things, and uplift is one of them. And so
that means that California, and I'm convinced of this,
California and much, much of the West, are very where we are is
not part of the big group that moved over. It was always here,
and it's always been a different situation. That's why the land
here is somewhat toxic.
Adam Curry: So, yes, exactly. It's always been a hellscape,
and the land is toxic. It's
John C Dvorak: always been a hellscape. Traditionally, it's
always on fire. There's a lot of earthquakes. Yes, and it's
toxic. You can't agriculture. That's why the wine in Napa
Valley isn't as good as you get from France. It's just filled
with vinegar. It's got the
Adam Curry: whole place. I'm we agree 100% Yeah, California is
toxic. It's always on fire.
John C Dvorak: It's always
Adam Curry: been, yes, whatever happened to breaking off as your
own state over there? I always thought that was a good idea.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you'd think that. But you're Texas, you're
Texas, always wants to do that. So why don't you do it there
first,
Adam Curry: sure
John C Dvorak: you know as your own country, not only, good
Adam Curry: luck charging your EV on wind power, and we're not
going to export any oil and gas to you. We
John C Dvorak: have plenty of oil and gas here that they
refuse to exploit Exactly,
Unknown: exactly.
John C Dvorak: And now, it turns out, since my my son in law,
married to Jay, works at Chevron, oh, one of the biggest
oil refiners on the West Coast.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're a fossil fuel family. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: they're thinking of shutting down the refinery
completely and moving the whole thing to Houston, exactly
Adam Curry: the prop in the Republic of Texas.
John C Dvorak: And, this is and then we have situations like, I
think there's a we have a clip here on California gasoline
prices.
Adam Curry: Yeah, yes, you do, yeah, I'll play it. Yes. Gas
prices
Unknown: are up nearly $2 more per gallon across northern
California when compared to the rest of the country,
California's oil market watchdog Ty milder attributes this to
refineries going offline for maintenance without enough
backup supply.
Gas prices in California are going up at the same time that
national gas prices are going down.
Governor Gavin Newsom has called a special legislative session to
require companies to keep more supplies on hand. Industry
groups have said that could increase costs by forcing
refiners to keep fuel in storage and off the market.
Adam Curry: I think is great. We cut off California. You keep
your social media companies keep Silicon Valley. We can use
Android. We don't need iPhones.
John C Dvorak: Just keep all that comes out of California
too,
Unknown: Google, yeah, but
Adam Curry: we don't need to buy Google. It's we have open source
Android. We're just going to use open source over here. Y'all, I
John C Dvorak: have to mention something about the California
this is a this is a blooming problem, and the Democrats are
too stupid to figure it. Figure it out, they've changed. The
problem with California gasoline is that some years ago, somebody
pointed this out to me, and I was bitching about the taxes on
the gasoline. And Chevron is one of the companies that makes
gasoline for California. And I say for California because the
gasoline blend for California is different than the entire rest
of the country. Oh, it's a low smog version. It's got some some
stuff in it. I don't know exactly what the makeup is, but
there's work.
Adam Curry: Does it work? Well,
John C Dvorak: it's gasoline. It works fine. You know, the people
don't realize that gasoline is a blend of just this of witches
brew of explosive chemicals that are all mixed up with all kinds
of volatiles in there, like butane, and there's all kinds of
weird stuff in gasoline. But it's not the same. From tank to
tank, you're always running different stuff through but
California has to have some some elements of something or other
in their gas, supposedly to lower pollution, and it's nobody
else makes this gas, except a couple of refineries. And so if
Chevron moves to Houston that we won't have enough gasoline to do
anything. That's why I think they're trying to move everyone
to electric cars here in California faster than. Anybody
else, but then we haven't got it's a mess. It's a ridiculous,
mismanaged, corrupt state,
Adam Curry: and it's toxic,
John C Dvorak: and it is toxic too. Yeah, you have to deal with
that. Now, I have one other clip from California, since we're on
the topic, yeah, now they want to do a I legislation first in
the country? Yes. Okay, I don't know what this legislation is
going to do, but this is going to be a huge problem for Newsom,
because he doesn't know what to do about this. And this is the
clip. Is a I Kelly, California
Unknown: Governor Gavin Newsom is considering whether to sign
or veto an artificial intelligence bill and pierce
Bobby Allen reports the measure of past would be the strictest
AI regulations in the country.
The AI Bill has fiercely divided the tech industry. Supporting
it, AI researchers who warn about the societal risks of the
technology. It also has won the support from Ai startup
anthropic and Elon Musk, but opposing the bill are chatgpt,
maker open AI high profile venture capitalists and AI
startup founders, they say the regulations would slow
innovation and allow other countries to leapfrog the US and
AI development criticism of the bill did lead to a softer
version being passed, but it still requires AI companies to
conduct safety tests and requires firms to be able to
enable a kill switch if AI systems go rogue, there are no
federal laws regulating AI in the US, Governor Newsom has
until september 30 to act on the bill.
Adam Curry: Well, finally, Elon Musk has done I was about to
send him back to California, but we'll keep him now, if he's
supporting bogus Legislation in California,
John C Dvorak: that's true. You have to have a kill switch, and
you have to have testing. I don't know what this testing is.
What do you how do you test? You know, algorithms like this and
and who's going to enforce these laws? That's the other thing
that you need an enforcement department, which is really
expensive. This is prep bull crap, and I think you should be.
I'm surprised that you're
Adam Curry: that I'm not all over it.
Unknown: Yeah,
John C Dvorak: you're the AI hater of the two of us. I am.
Adam Curry: I am the AI hater. Have you? Have you seen the
latest that they're doing with with AI? Maybe? There it's
notebook LM is what it's called. Don't know it so notebook LM, I
guess, is some kind of it's like a closed loop AI system, so you
can put in documents that that only you care about, and then
you can do AI stuff with it, whatever that means,
John C Dvorak: query it. Probably, yeah.
Adam Curry: You could, yeah. You can query it. But now they have
an extra I'm looking for it. I thought I had a link. I think I
do. Now you can put in an extra thing, and you can say, make a
podcast out of these documents, which, by the way, if it was any
good, I would be all for it, but it makes these, let me see, oh,
man, I hope I have this here. It makes a podcast. Yes, yes, it
makes a podcast. Okay, so this, in this case, this guy put in
100,000 word document of like random nothing, of random text
titled it patent, dot text, gave it to the notebook and listen.
So this thing that makes a podcast, by the way,
John C Dvorak: you know, I want to stop you here and say, I
really, uh, admire the fact that you are, you act. You are the
pod file. You keep track of everything that has anything to
do with podcasting at the most minute level. I never heard of
this.
Adam Curry: Somebody has to protect the medium.
John C Dvorak: And that's actually the way you see it.
Yes. Funny,
Adam Curry: yes, I do here. Listen, so we've got another
head scratcher this week. These,
Unknown: these patent files you sent in had me a little bit
stumped. I gotta say, yeah, it's we've got a bunch of text files,
okay, all named patent, but with these little numbers tacked on,
right, patent to patent for that kind of thing. Interesting. And
I open these things up. Why
John C Dvorak: is that interesting?
Adam Curry: This? This is what is that interesting? This is
what the AI thinks a podcast should sound like between two
people. Oh, this is the podcast we're listening to. Yes, you're
listening to the podcast. This is an
John C Dvorak: dipshit. These are fake voices, yes. And so we
have a guy, and this is, like a typical, this is, like fashioned
after NPR, some guy, exactly, and a dipshit woman who's going,
yeah, oh, some moron, yes. And okay, now I'm interested
basically
Adam Curry: pivot the pivot podcast. Please start
John C Dvorak: it over. Okay. Okay, so another
Unknown: head scratcher this week. These, these patent files
you sent in had me a little bit stumped. I gotta say, yeah, it's
we've got a bunch of text files, okay, all named patent, but with
these little numbers tacked on, right, right, patent to patent
for that kind of thing, interesting. And I open these
things up, and it's just line after line of binary. Oh, wow,
ones and zeros, as far as the I can see. Okay, so that's our
challenge. Today. We are diving headfirst into the world of,
Adam Curry: well, binary code. Now I think that what I like
about this particular AI is it adds the UHS and the ums to it.
But for some reason, the podcast format has to be someone taking
the lead on talking and the other someone going, Oh yeah,
yay, right, yeah, shoot. Let's do get let's do it. Do it
Unknown: to see if we can crack this code to figure out what in
the world is going on. Absolutely so before we get too
far, I think it might be helpful, sure, for some of our
listeners to do a little bit of a binary one,
John C Dvorak: hold on. She's a little too this is a they gotta
tone. They gotta turn her down a little bit. She's She's, it
every phrase just she's throwing a bit in there. It's like, oh,
ah, yeah. There's too much of that. They gotta fix that. Hey,
unfixable.
Adam Curry: I'm looking looking forward to the day when we just
throw a bunch of clips and and and show notes stories into a
bin, and then I stay in bed on Thursday and Sunday and the show
is just the show, just
Unknown: the very basics. What are we even talking about when
we say binary code, right?
So at its simplest, binary is really just a way of
representing
Adam Curry: now they're gonna switch roles. She's talking and
he's gonna do the Oh yeah, really, oh yeah. She's
Unknown: using only two options, okay, so instead of our 10
digits, like we use in our everyday lives, you know, zero
through nine, right, right. Binary uses just zero and one.
Got
it those two
digits, that's all we need to build even the most complex
information. So
it's kind of like a light switch, exactly. It's either on
or off. That's it one or zero to
Adam Curry: kill myself. Now.
John C Dvorak: Okay, stop. Yes. Clip of the Day. Well,
Adam Curry: thank you. I What this? It wasn't even intended to
put it on the list today, but I'll take
John C Dvorak: it unbelievable, yeah, but I like the kibitzing,
the constant never ending, not like we do. I interrupt each
other, kind of in a different way to stop things, but it's but
this is always encouraging. All right?
Unknown: Oh yes, okay,
John C Dvorak: oh yeah, good, yeah. Like, interesting,
Adam Curry: yeah, very good. Keep going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is why I have no fear of AI at all.
Unknown: I'm gonna show my food by donating to
no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh,
yeah, that'd be fun.
Adam Curry: Well, we do have a bunch of AI donations which have
come in, which is all automatic. It comes from PayPal. We've
programmed it so that it just sends money to us from your
PayPal account. Thank you very much. It even adds little notes,
and sometimes we'll read them $50 and above. Right now, we
thank all of these. Producer AIS for supporting the best podcast

Yeah, yeah. I'm excited about that October 18 meetup in
Fredericksburg. We've never had a Fredericksburg meetup. It'll
be a home game. Home Game. Very excited. People have already
apparently called over to the full moon in and they're coming
from Pennsylvania, of course, lots of people coming from
Austin, but they're already calling and checking and I think
they may have an in there. I think you could even stay there.
So curry and the keeper will be there in the house. It'll be
exciting. Couple of meetup reports. Here's a where we have
three of them. First one from Sonoma, the Wino country, the
Wino country meet up. This
Unknown: is Brian from work. We're here at the Sonoma County
Wino country meet up here at Old Kaz beer. Everyone knows it
takes a lot of beer to make good wine, and so that's why we're
trying all that beer. This is Sir Rick
Halston, crazy Steve the second, and after this party, we're all
going back to my house for a Haitian barbecue
wannabe gonna be Dame Linda of the Shire. No agenda meet ups.
Makes life fun again. Captain
Luke loving my local brew pub. Hey, this is Jason. First time,
long time listener, and I check with the city manager here in
rohner Park, and there's no cats on the menu. This
dude named Ben, named Ben Duke of San Francisco. I've
escaped the fog today for this lovely of low facts, no agenda,
meetups,
golf winch from Rohnert Park California, changing Harris for
Biden. It's kind of like crap in your pants and then changing
your shirt. Connection is protection. I'm
Sean, longtime listener, June,
Adam Curry: and we have two reports from Indiana, Fort
Wayne, first,
Unknown: Adam and John. This is Shannon helping host in Fort
Wayne. We had a great turnout. We did not sing karaoke, and my
kale salad tasted like crap.
This is Mike from Fort Wayne in the morning.
This is Ryan from St Joe's my first meetup. This is great
time. Nice to meet Shannon and Mike. Hope we have a better
turnout next time, get to meet more lovely people in this crazy
area in the morning. This
is Haley, great people in the morning. All
Adam Curry: right, in the morning to all of you. And then
the final report comes from our big group there in Greenwood,
the indie meetup. Always a lot of people, probably about 100
This
Unknown: is day Maria and Sir Mark, a wonderful day here in
needy to have in your Meetup. And
it's so nice out here, except it might be getting a little warmer
due
to climate change. Hey, this
is Emily the Fed, not a fed and hot take. I
just don't like Kamala Harris. Please don't vote for her.
Y'all, oh, Emily, was that really necessary? Risky here in
the morning? Hey, it's
Annette Miller. I'm so excited. I won the cash today. It's only
my second donation, though, but I'm not a douchebag. I buy at
least 20 bucks worth of raffle tickets every time I go to a
meetup, and somebody else gets the donation someday, a dame in
the
morning, John and Adam. This is Nick. I survived the fever and
colts traffic. Adam, the fever and Colts are sports teams.
What a wonderful meet up today. I think everyone here is my
friend. If I have anything to say about it,

I am a server at prodigy burger. I work today and serve for the
no agenda group. They're a great group. I'm kind of interested to
listen to the podcast. Yeah.
Adam Curry: You know, when the proverbial shit hits the fan, I
want to be an indie. That's where you got some protection,
because that's the connection that no agenda. Meet up to bring

of course, one more plug for that October 18 Fredericksburg,
Texas meetup. Looking forward to see y'all there. Go to no agenda
meetups.com. If you can't find one on the calendar near you,
start one yourself. It's easy and always a party. Sometimes
Unknown: you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
It's like
a
Adam Curry: party. How many, how many ISOs Do you have?
John C Dvorak: None? You
Adam Curry: got none. Yeah, well, what are you phoning it in
today,
John C Dvorak: I forgot.
Adam Curry: How could you forget?
John C Dvorak: I did,
Unknown: all right.
Adam Curry: Well, I have, I luckily, I'm over isoed, yeah,
John C Dvorak: there was a sense. I had a sense I could
feel it. I could feel it. Luke, feel it.
Adam Curry: Okay, Luke, here we go, ghetto b word there's one.
No, this is
Unknown: exciting. I like that.
I do believe it's possible.
John C Dvorak: No, I want to thank you for your courage.
Adam Curry: And the final one, preposterous and weird. Hmm. No,
no, you like the hill dog?
Unknown: This is exciting. Yeah.
Adam Curry: All right, Hill dog on deck. And now, ladies and
gentlemen, it's time for your favorite part of the show,
John's Tip of the Day. Green bass for you
Unknown: and me. Just I
Adam Curry: don't everyone's excited to find out what the
last tip of the day was. Great. We have increased Costco stock
by Costco is is loving us. What do you have for us? John,
John C Dvorak: oh, this is gonna this time, it's gonna be Amazon.
You know how we used to drink tea when you lived in England,
but you don't do it anymore. I'm still a fan of PG Tips, which is
the English everyday drinking tea, yeah, but I drink a lot of
green tea, but green tea, depending on where you get, is
really expensive, and I have found a kind of a PG, tips of
green tea, besides things like gunpowder, this is just a very
specific green tea. You get a pound of it for 13 bucks. And
it's like, you use a for a big pot, you use like, Don't you
have to be careful to use, like a kind of a level teaspoon,
maybe because this stuff just blows up into all the full
leaves. And it's a tea that sells for 13 bucks, for 16
ounces. It's called Tian hushan T I A n, H, U, S, H, A N. It's
also called Yin Hao, y, I N, H, A, W, right from China. It is, I
just drink to stuff like crazy. It is a, it is an outstanding
just drink, drink, drink product, and you do it, and you
also double pour into it. And the second pouring, which is the
Chinese do all the time. Americans don't do it. In other
words, you make your tea, and then you pour off the finished
green tea, and then you pour another batch of water into the
used leaves. And in China, they think this is the better part of
the of the of the batches, the second pouring is better we
need. In this case, I don't even see the difference. It's almost
like at the same you just doubled the amount. It's, I
don't know how long it's going to take to get through the 16
ounces. Is this
Adam Curry: might take years a small batch. The this, this
producer, this
John C Dvorak: all in Chinese. I have no idea if it's small
batch.
Adam Curry: I think, you know, you need to do a web page with
these tips of the day. So people kind of think we're going to
have to do that. Yeah, get Jay on the case. She's good at that.
Well, actually, we
John C Dvorak: may have some volunteers out there. I was
asking for some volunteers for a couple of things, and maybe
there's somebody out there that can do some coding, or somebody
produce I like somebody can just make a list of the tips that
we've done, some summaries that would be good. What I would I
need somebody could do a PHP server for me, so I can do my
own mailing product, own mailing list. Oh, this
Adam Curry: is a very bad idea. What that is a very bad idea to
do your own mailing list, server, very, very bad idea.
John C Dvorak: There is a good product out there that has
everything but the server product is
Adam Curry: not the problem. Them, it's the white listing
these companies that you use, and I would actually say
substack is probably better these days, they have been
whitelisted with all of the big email providers, mainly Gmail,
and they have to pay a VIG we've been through. I understand that,
yes. So if you, if you just show up as no agenda@dvorak.org
you're going to get blocked everywhere because you're not
paying the fee. So I recommend against this. Okay,
John C Dvorak: well, I'd still like to experiment. No, it's Oh,
Adam Curry: rough times ahead. Tears will come. Tears will
come. That's it, ladies and gentlemen. Are you looking
Unknown: for good advice? Perhaps something practical or
something you really need try the new agenda. Tip of the day,
professional quality tips from the best podcast in the
universe.
Adam Curry: There it is no lie. Professional quality tips from
the best podcast in the universe. You heard it here. I
wish we had a our tea supplier in Portugal. He passed away.
Unfortunately, I'd love it. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: no, that's too bad. Yeah, he didn't. He was
really into a permitted tease. He didn't have too much green
tea.
Adam Curry: Well, he had no agenda teas, which was just kind
of cool. Just love that, love that idea. We still have some of
that. We've got our coffee guy. Eli. Just need a tea guy. Maybe
Eli can expand on the way. We've got end of show mixes from David
kekta Sir TJ, the raffle and the clip custodian himself. Neil
Jones checks in. That's nice. Always love it when he has a mix
and coming up next on the stream, no agenda stream.com,
trollroom.io, and your modern podcast app is the podcasting
2.0 board meeting for this week titled helpful little wizard. So
you can stay tuned for that, learn about the latest
podcasting coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill
Country, home of the meetup on October 18, Fredericksburg,
Texas, FEMA Region number 16 The Morning everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's
foggy, I'm John C Dvorak. We
Adam Curry: return on Thursday with another deconstruction of
your media. Meet us there and remember us at no agenda.
Donations.com, until then, adios, mofos, a hooey, hooey and
such. They're eating the dogs. We
Unknown: know that the companies and we're seeing some of the
comments from Elon Musk overnight, so they see
themselves above the law, and the Australian law here should
apply equally in the real world as it does online. As Phil was
pointing out before, you would be sued for defamation, and you
would be taken before the courts under various acts for
publishing some of that which freely flows on the internet.
And there's an age verification regime, which has been
recommended by the Safety Commissioner from 2023 we think
that's something the government should pick up. Well, this is a
very dark day in Australia's history, ladies and gentlemen,
because this week respected work and other matters. Amendment
Bill 2024 was passed in Queensland Parliament. What does
this mean for you? Well, from now on, we're going to have the
police our thoughts and our speech very carefully on social
media. Here's why, any post made on social media now is deemed by
this bill to be a public act. And any public act found
offensive by a reasonable person of the minority community that
it describes is then chargeable under Section 52 A of the
Criminal Code, and these charges carry a maximum sentence of
three years in jail time. These
are truly unprecedented times. 25 years in the parliament, I've
never seen legislation like him. This is not the country I grew
up in, and is heading in direction that I fear for future
generations.
Kamala DeVille. Kamala Deville, if her cackle, don't scare you.
Her policies, well, your unborn child, she would gladly kill
Kamala. Is horrible. Still,
Adam Curry: this is rarely brought up, and it's true, and
these people are demonic in that way. This chick, I'm saying,
chick, called a DC District of Columbia clinic, and she
recorded it. I'm
Unknown: looking to have an abortion. I'm 34
right now,
Adam Curry: eight months. An
Unknown: abortion at any stage is actually much safer than
delivering a term pregnancy. You do what we call the fetal
injection. We'll assist you in sort of pushing in the induction
and then remove all of the product of conception,
Adam Curry: the product of conception, it is true. Of
course it's true, but people need to hear that. That's this
is sickening, but this is
Unknown: what they have done to our country by allowing these
millions and millions of people, people can't go out and buy
cereal or bacon or eggs or anything else. The people of our
country are absolutely dying. They're eating the dog. People
that came in, they're eating the cats. My dogs been taken my dogs
so they've destroyed the economy in Springfield. They're eating
the pets of the people that live there. You people, millions and
millions of people, people.
It's bad, you know?
This is exciting. You.
