Unknown: I'm here in my personal capacity again. Adam
curry, John C Dvorak,
third, 2024,
Adam Curry: this is your award winning give our nation media
assassination episode 1700
Douche: This is no agenda
Adam Curry: celebrating like Commodores and broadcasting live
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region,
number six in the morning. Everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: and from Northern Silicon Valley, where we
understand they're bulldozing the living of the dead in North
Carolina to get to the lithium. I'm Justin vorac. It's Craig
Vaughn and
Unknown: buzzkill in the morning.
Adam Curry: But before, before we get into that, may I
congratulate you sir, on 1700 episodes of the best podcast in
the universe. And May and May I congratulate all the producers
who've contributed to this program over almost 17 years
John C Dvorak: it has been and may I congratulate you, sir.
Adam Curry: Yes, please sir. Do so I feel like I need it.
Whoever thought I remember after episode, 100
John C Dvorak: Yeah, one you quit? Yeah,
Adam Curry: good run.
John C Dvorak: That was a great run. We did 100 shows. Let's
quit. Let's
Adam Curry: quit. We're good to go. What happened? I don't know.
We just kept on chugging, kept on going on, going on, going on.
Where
John C Dvorak: it's a public service, that's why, and you
have a public service mentality,
Adam Curry: well, then there's a good point. We do it. We do do
it as a public service.
John C Dvorak: I think it's a public service in many ways.
Well, calms people down. Yeah? It helps people, you know, doing
rash things or thinking weirdly, oddly.
Adam Curry: Yes, it keeps families together, not always or
not, or it breaks the families up that really deserved it.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, probably it. Probably yeah. Sooner than
later,
Adam Curry: yeah, you'll test your your relationships with
this show, that's for sure. Oh
John C Dvorak: yeah, if you're if your relationship involves
one of the two people being something of a knee jerk
lunatic,
Adam Curry: and I feel super blessed today, because not only
is it episode 1700 which we all share, we all share in this,
because without the producers, we would be nowhere. I received
two People's Choice Awards, yeah, the 19th.
John C Dvorak: Wait from, the way, let me guess two People's
Choice Awards from, oh, don't get too org. I assume it's from
two or different organizations. Oh, it's
Adam Curry: from the same organization. It's the 19th
annuals, people, People's Choice Podcast Awards, which is the, as
far as I'm concerned, the original Podcast Awards that
Todd Cochran does from blueberry, and you
John C Dvorak: win something from him some time ago,
Adam Curry: oh, a Hall of Fame. Like 10 years ago, I was
inducted into the into the first Hall of Fame
Unknown: for, like, best producer, okay,
Adam Curry: um, no, this is, uh, I receive both the listener and
podcaster influencer of the Year award. I'm sorry, the influences
are determined by the total number of write ins by listeners
and podcasters. That's 800 podcasters and 5.1 million
listeners who participated.
John C Dvorak: So 5.1 million people voted for you. Well,
because you're influential. Well, they,
Adam Curry: they, they voted. I don't know if all 5.1 but a
majority did, I guess, or more than the others, I think it's as
an independent second there's no second place. There's no second
place. Oh, there's no winning. No, there's no winning. It's
just holding hands and telling a secret. So, yes,
John C Dvorak: um. Well, congratulations on this. You get
a big trophy, a big giant.
Adam Curry: If I send Todd, $75 for each trophy, I get a trophy.
John C Dvorak: This is like the who's who book.
Adam Curry: Well, you used to get a trophy, but then, you
know, budget slash podcasting isn't what it used to be. You
know, there's not no more big sponsors like, oh yeah, there's
also so many award shows who can keep track. Anyway. Yes, it is a
sad day or a sad week for the American government. And I will
say it for several reasons. But first, it. When your people
don't trust you, conspiracy theories run rampant. Bless you
and and it really is sad, because the people have so
little distrust, so so little trust in in in the American
government, in the federal government, for sure that
they'll, you know, they will just get sucked into any
conspiracy theory. And this one was going rampant, from people
there, from people who I know it's all and I think there
John C Dvorak: is I told a guy who told a guy who told a guy,
yeah,
Adam Curry: I was there when it happened. Now there is So, okay,
do you want? Do you don't have a clip of it? Do you didn't? You
didn't actually clipped that nonsense.
John C Dvorak: I'm sure. What people being bulldozed? No
living and dead. Well,
Adam Curry: the bulldozing might actually be happening. I don't
know about that. I've seen any
John C Dvorak: evidence of it, but the they can't even get cars
in there. How they gonna get a bulldozer in? The big, okay, the
Adam Curry: big conspiracy theory meme that was going
around is that this was harp this. This was weather
modification to flood the entire area where the lithium is, to
declare eminent domain and take it. Now, there's a couple, a
couple things with this, and
John C Dvorak: they're also going to take the courts, don't
forget that well, the there's something,
Adam Curry: well, there is something to be said for the
courts minds. The courts minds are, they are important quartz
minds. But when it comes to eminent domain, people should
look up how eminent domain works. You
John C Dvorak: know, let's stop before you continue with the
quartz mine thing, because I got some notes. Well, let's
Adam Curry: stay with them. I
John C Dvorak: got to correct you about the importance of
these quartz of mines. Okay? I called up a chip company. Oh,
wait for operation. There you go. And talk to the one of the
directors, and he says that he never even heard of this place.
He says, then, really, this operate? There's courts all over
the country, all over the world by the silica that they want,
for the for the chips the quartz make. They use the quartz to
make crucibles and other things. It's not like it's part of the
necessarily an aspect the quartz as a chip, the foundation, a
big, giant wafer, which is a grown silicon crystal. They call
it. They used to be called crystals. Now they're called
ingots. They're not made from quartz.
Adam Curry: Well, what is the quartz used for? It's
John C Dvorak: used for making all kinds of stuff. Quartz is a
valuable product. I have a quartz beaker well,
Adam Curry: but hold on a second. Just stick with. Stick
with because the headlines are and this is important, and I'm
glad you called someone up that. Okay, I even have a Wired
article from 2018 that's
John C Dvorak: the key to the whole thing, wired the Wired
article. In fact, somebody sent me the Wired article. I won't
say who it is. It's a mutual friend. Well, let me
Adam Curry: just read the let me just read the head, the sub
graph, or the important graph, whatever you guys call it, the
process the nut. Then let me read the nut. Let me fist this
nut for you. The processor that makes your laptop or cell phone
work was fabricated using quartz from this obscure Appalachian
backwater, okay, debunk this bullcrap. Okay. And why is it
both? It's just
John C Dvorak: the courts places. They were all over the
world, these courts operations, but apparently
Adam Curry: this is the cleanest courts ever. Oh, bull who cares
John C Dvorak: to get this stuff is refined, refined anyway. It's
like a salt mine is all this salt has got less contaminants
than the other salt, I read that article that the article is
exaggerating everything it's and it's written by, as far as I'm
concerned, like the some of these Atlantic writers, just a
nudge character exaggerating the situation. It's an exaggeration.
All right.
Adam Curry: Well, good. I mean, I
John C Dvorak: know it was dramatized. A guy comes into the
restaurant. He's got powder. It's fine as cocaine. I'm hoping
nobody busts us, because I got this fine Look at this. This
comes from this one place nobody else has. Oh, my God, oh, whoa,
whoa, whoa. This is unbelievable. And it got caught
up as everyone that Oh, right, right. Magic quartz mine in
North Carolina, okay, and it's like the lithium is the same way
lithium, lithium, the main lithium deposits the United
States. Just look it up.
Adam Curry: It's Nevada, Nevada and Nevada.
John C Dvorak: Well, and in the world, Bolivia, we're fourth
place. Bolivia's got the most. They
Adam Curry: better send some harp over to Bolivia then to
capture that, that lithium,
John C Dvorak: yeah, I mean this whole exaggeration about what's
going on in North Carolina, and then throwing this, this quartz
based on that Wired article, and lithium, lithium, this is going
to be the key. We got to steal it. And. Is the government going
to do with it?
Adam Curry: And then the whole, I love how they just throw out
eminent domain, which I hear a lot, oh, eminent domain. Eminent
domain must be used in the public interest. It's very
difficult, although there was a court case where they actually
tried it. Not too long ago, they tried to say, well, we're going
to sell it to this public company or to this private
company, because it would benefit the economics in the
region. You know now, just, just, let's just go to the last
time we heard eminent domain. Do you remember that? It wasn't
that long ago? It was the Maui fire. Same thing, they use
sapphire blue beam laser. Everything that was blue didn't
fry all the elites houses. They're going to take our land
and under eminent domain. So so the the mount the county, did
actually propose eminent domain over a swath of land where they
dumped all of the fire debris, and the federal judge even
knocked that down so there was no eminent domain. What will
happen, I'm quite sure, is people will look at what they
can get from these bogative insurance companies, which it
may even be the insurance companies launching this
nonsense, because you're not going to get the value for your
home. And then, you know, the prospectors come in. They say,
Well, how about I buy this from you for more than you get from
your insurance company, and what are you going to do?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I would sell it to the speculator. Yes,
I
Adam Curry: would think that the insurance companies are
launching this nonsense.
John C Dvorak: I never considered that, but that's a
distinct possibility. Yeah,
Adam Curry: yeah. Anyway, it is very sad. There's a we have a
lot of producers, particularly in the Asheville area in
Northwest Tennessee. There's this. This blew my mind. We were
just talking about op way, the the handmade leather sneaker
company who wanted to make a no agenda sneaker. Yeah, entire
factory wiped away. Well, that's terrible. Yes. Then Justin, and
you know, he had just sent us this note saying how proud he
was that, you know, they weren't loser millennials, and they had
been listening to the show while building this, this company, and
they put all their money into the factory and is completely
wiped away, and the pictures are just disheartening,
heartbreaking. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it's a mess. Yeah, happy. The government has
done a piss poor job. We can agree on that. Well, there's
Adam Curry: a couple of things about that. Yes, the government
has done pretty much nothing. But what I'm hearing is that
there are Chinook 60s and 40 sevens that are that have not
been able to take off and do anything, which is a National
Guard, because title 10 has not been enacted, and what I'm
hearing is that the state is saying, No, we don't want
federal help under Title 10, because we don't want to become
the mess that Katrina was, which is interesting. I have no
corroboration, but I also have nothing. I have no Governor
talking. I have no mayor talk. Have you seen any of these local
officials do any kind of new news conference
John C Dvorak: if I mean, it's not that they might not be doing
them, but we just haven't seen it
Adam Curry: well, I have looked and I haven't been able to find
anything.
John C Dvorak: But why? Here's all. We want to send some
choppers over the stand down order. We've gotten stand down.
That's,
Adam Curry: it's. There is something going on, by the
John C Dvorak: way, when they say this, I've seen a lot of
these videos, tick tocks filled with them. Who's, who's giving
the stand down order. They, yeah. It's always, they, yeah.
Adam Curry: What? What this does show and I love this part about
this disaster, is the American people, when it comes down to
it, will help each other. They don't sit around and wait for
the government. And for the first time in my life as a ham
radio operator, the hams actually are doing a good job. I
mean, I've been listening on the repeater. And they're doing
everything from locating people to finding, hey, I need 100 foot
of four Yeah, but I've never heard them actually do it. And
the emergency network, it was good, and it's ongoing, it's
they're handing off, and they were doing 24 hour emergency
net. That was, that was quite spectacular. I love the people
were calling up Lincoln airport and donating, basically buying
gas for airplanes and helicopters, private helicopters
that were just flying stuff around. People were using drones
to fly insulin out to people who were stuck. I. You know that is,
that's America. We don't care who you are, what your political
beliefs are. When it comes down to it, the Americans help each
other. I love that part, and now I just have to understand, how
did this happen? Telling me that 40 trillion gallons of rain
fell,
Unknown: huh?
Adam Curry: Did a damn dam must have broken. Something must have
happened to create this flood. I, I'm, I'm, besides climate
change, of course,
Unknown: what happened?
John C Dvorak: You're asking me, I'm not a meteorologist. No, a
Adam Curry: lot of rain. All we're getting is climate change
nonsense. Well, that doesn't help. No, it doesn't. I have a
47 second update from NBC, former President
Unknown: Trump arriving in Georgia with the Christian
humanitarian relief organization Samaritan's Purse, trying to
make a political issue out of the federal government's
response.
They're not being responsive. The federal government is not
being responsive. The former
president falsely claiming, President Biden had refused to
get on the phone with elected officials like Georgia's
Republican Governor Brian Kemp, both the White House and Kemp
say the two leaders spoke the night before. He
just said, Hey, what do you need? He offered that if there's
other things we need, just to call him directly, which I
appreciate that.
A furious president, Biden says Trump is making things up. He's
lying, and the governor told him he was lying. I care about what
he says about me. I care what he what he communicates to people
that are in need. Yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: glad we politicized it. Now. That's great. That's
fantastic. Good job everybody. Good job you do, yeah, now and
then we had the magic number popping up everywhere. The
Unknown: death toll across several states now stands at
more than 130 according to the Associated Press, in the wake of
Hurricane Helene, and that is expected to rise as hundreds of
people in hard hit western North Carolina are listed as missing.
Search and Rescue efforts continue as authorities try to
reach towns left inaccessible by washed out roads, especially in
the Asheville area. Vice President Kamala Harris says
FEMA is working hard
so far, more than 3300 federal personnel are on the ground to
assist with recovery efforts. They are deploying food, water
and generators, and we continue to work with teams on the ground
to restore water and power as quickly as possible. President
Biden is expected to visit the area tomorrow, and he will get
an aerial tour of Asheville. Former President Donald Trump
visited Helene's impact on Valdosta, Georgia. Yesterday,
Adam Curry: I was scouring through the completely insecure,
no agenda telegram groups. I was little disappointed. I mean,
we've had meetups in the area. I thought at least some people
would be on the telegram groups, communicating or seeing if they
could help anybody. And all that I really saw was the lithium.
Lithium, yeah, so that was, that was a little disappointing,
John C Dvorak: by the way. You mentioned, what was the tonnage
of rain that you mentioned, 40 trillion
Adam Curry: according to, uh, well, New York one. All right,
that comes from AP, 40 true. How
John C Dvorak: many, how many trillion was dumped on during
Katrina? I have no idea. Yeah, there you go. There's nothing to
compare that to, no
Adam Curry: but you know the levees broke. I mean, I don't
know it. Just it feels to me like something else happened
here, and I know that some dams were in danger of breaking. I'm
not sure of any. We just, we basically have no information,
none, as usual, no information other than it's a tragedy. It's
an absolute tragedy. France, 24 of course, good little servants
that they are, they took it to the political realm. And why
not? Fraser,
Unknown: Joe Biden, then visiting some of the worst hit
areas this hurricane, government agencies had, of course, been
tracking it, giving warnings about its strength. But the very
future of those agencies and the work that they do, they could be
under threat by a potential Trump presidency.
Yeah, this is all revolving around something called Project
2025, which is blueprint for a future Republican. You
Adam Curry: believe this? Can you believe they did this? Oh,
you think
John C Dvorak: that's it? It's the Heritage Foundation is
responsible and
Unknown: presidency put forward by a conservative think tank
called the Heritage Foundation. Trump says that he doesn't have
anything to do with this project, 2025 he said a lot of
the people who are the architects of this mandate are
former Trump officials. So a lot of the Democrats United States
are saying that this is what Donald Trump would be using if
he were to get reelected. Under it, it calls for a host of
different things, but some of the federal agencies. That this
mandate would dismantle, or at least massively restructure,
include FEMA, who are overseeing the disaster relief in the wake
of this hurricane, and also NOAA as well, which is the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration now, NOAA has a
lot under its mandate, including weather forecasting, but also
climate monitoring as well as coastal restoration and
fisheries and more, Mondays affects about a third of the
American GDP, so it is a significant Monday that it has,
and two of the organizations which fall under it include the
National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center,
which, of course, both were pivotal in tracking hurricane
Helene. Yeah,
Adam Curry: blah, blah, they went on for another minutes with
this. Oh, ridiculous. Oh, the more we won't have weather
reports. Weather reports,
John C Dvorak: yeah, they're gonna shut it all down. No more.
2025, they
Adam Curry: were tracking it, you know, if anything, they did
a horrible job, because they underplayed the danger of this.
It was like, ah, it should be 85 mile an hour. You know, 35
gusting.
John C Dvorak: I watched the fox weather channel more than I
should. And I have to say, That's exactly true. And
remember, I told considering, what do we see now, especially
with the bulldozing the living and the dead, they underplayed
it to an extreme. It was like, well, it's going to be gusts,
gusts of 90.
Adam Curry: And if you remember I said, before this thing hit, I
said, I'm getting a lot of notices from people saying they
find the reporting very, very odd, very off kilter. Doesn't
sound right. And people were saying that before it hit. And
there you go. If they had said, hey, it's could be 40 trillion
somehow they know it's 40 trillion gallons. Well, I don't
know how they measure it, but
John C Dvorak: I don't know how you do that either.
Adam Curry: But now it's like, oh,
John C Dvorak: computer model, yeah, there you go. And it's all
climate change, and probably developed by AI, yes,
Adam Curry: with, uh, with cloud seeding and, sapphire blue
laser.
John C Dvorak: I love this sapphire blue laser story that
is actually my favorite. What,
Adam Curry: what I what I liked. I was watching some C spam, and
people were mad. They were mad at the media because the media
could not resist. You know this, this is, this is a national
tragedy in multiple states, Americans, you know, and oh,
man, which is, oh, we got new evidence about Trump. We got
this. We got that. We got Oh, we got a debate. People were mad
here from Ned in Georgia. Independent line,
Unknown: yeah, sure. I'm calling from haydenville, Georgia. You
mentioned Chick fil A earlier. That's where Chick fil A was
invented. True. Cassie used to flip hamburgers for me and my
dad. But I called to tell you that if there's anything
important in this modern world, sir, it's C span, you provide
the general population three hours every day with an
opportunity to call in and say something important. I want to
get off the line quickly, because I'm hoping one day
somebody will call in and say, Gee, I wonder how Julian Assange
is doing today, or how is what Jamal Khashoggi, your fiance
doing today? We all hear 20 times a day, how greater or
whoever, what did it tell me, I love my cheese, man, but I don't
want to hear people talking about the weather in Mexico and
how well their dog can blow a truck. Or I want to hear
something important. Did you hear what Willie said about that
Palestinian issue? To you all, you ain't hear more talk like
that. You want people asking each other how they're doing
today. May I go now? Please. Thank
Douche: you. We got this caller. Let's hear from David. David in
Democrats line, North Carolina, good
Unknown: morning. Good morning. You're on. Go ahead. This
is looking for him. I'm
looking I'm looking at y'all now, and they talking a bit
about North Carolina, that people's dead in North Carolina,
in the mountain area, boom. This just went
Adam Curry: on, but every single station was oh, and we got a
little update, a little update over here, how it's bad. Oh,
there's a house washing away. They they're so removed from it,
really. It's just the media is no good and the government, you
can't trust the government. You can't trust your local
government. And you never should. You never should.
John C Dvorak: What was the idea? What do you mean? The idea
was never to trust the government. That's where the
Constitution was written. It was, it was all it was. The
whole thing was written as what the government can't do? Yes,
Unknown: amen to that.
Adam Curry: And well, what the government can't do is stock the
shelves. We said that this was the real news of the day. It was
course before the her. Kane Helene struck, but we've got
that. We've got that strike going on now I have a clip.
Okay? What you got? I
John C Dvorak: L U strike,
Unknown: the big port. Strike enters a day two with no sign of
progress in negotiations. We take a deeper look at how the
strike could affect you? Okay,
Bag: 1000s of dock workers enter day two of their massive strike,
shutting down 14 major US ports, leaving many at a standstill. It
Unknown: starts to last long and longer than one week, we're
going to start to see serious, I would say, quite serious,
problems in supply chain.
Bag: Maritime business professor John Paul Rodriguez says
consumers may not notice anything in the first week, but
things will get more expensive and scarcer very quickly. Harold
Daggett, president of the International longshoremans
Association, has indicated that union workers are willing to
strike for a very long time in today's
Unknown: world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you
Bag: the effects of the strike reaching even the president.
We're hearing
Unknown: from the folks recently that they're having trouble
getting product they need because of the poor strike. Sit
down and talk. Remember, we negotiated a similar strike in
the west coast before, and they worked it out. It's time they
won't even talk. So let's get that done.
Bag: Major imports that will be disrupted, retail goods, lumber,
electronics, furniture and food,
Unknown: or 98% of all the coffee coming in this country
comes in containers. We may start to see problems, also
tropical fruit, everything which is cold chain related is going
to quickly be disrupted. And consumers at a grocery store, on
the store shelves, or even buying stuff online, are going
to start to notice, yes, so
Adam Curry: that bit of him, I will cripple you. We played on
the on the last show. I have an update here. When Harold
Daggett, he is the president of the ILA of the Union, was on the
picket line, and he he laid out a bit more about his demands and
how angry everybody really is. Are
Unknown: you worried that this strike is going to hurt the
everyday American, the farmers that need to reach the reach the
export
market? Listen now you start to realize who the Longshoremen
are. Right? Nobody cares. People never gave a about us until now,
when they finally realized that the chain is being broke. Now,
bras won't come in, food won't come in, clothing won't come in.
You know how many people depend on our jobs? Half the world, and
it's time for them, time for Washington to put so much
pressure on them to take care of us, because we took care of
them, and we're here 135 years, and brought them where they are
today, and they don't want to share.
One question, what will it take to get you back into
negotiations? What
do you want to hear? Okay? You want to hear it? $5 across the
board, for six years, all I can tell I want all my container
royalty, 5050, split. It all comes back to the ILA, where it
used to be. What was the other one? Automation, stronger
language to get me back to the table. If I don't get that, I'm
not coming back to the table. And if we have to be out here a
month or two months, this world will collapse. Go blame them. Go
blame me. Blame them.
Adam Curry: Before we get to the collapse part, we have, we have,
of course, the best producers in the universe on all sides of
this, one of our truck drivers, boots on the ground, who gets
containers out of the ports in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware. He says, the one thing that wasn't mentioned, I hadn't
heard the union was asking for the same pay between ports.
Apparently, the New York port workers get paid a lot more than
the Delaware port workers. But the big thing, he says, is
automation, and this is really the issue the West Coast. I
think a lot of it is already automated. And he says, as to
automation, I can understand them not wanting it, but when I
as a truck driver, get into a port to pick up a container, get
told I don't know where it is, and I got to drive around and
find it for myself, they definitely need to do something
better. We need a better system. And I think what, what they're
saying here is you've got to pay us off if you want to bring in
automation. And that's inevitable. And of course, it's
billed as AI now it's just automation which will be safer.
And there's a lot of you know, China has all
John C Dvorak: every night is almost fully automated. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and yeah. I mean, that is one of those horse and
buggy jobs that will have to go away. And automation is not some
mythical AI. It's just automation. It's robotics, which
I think we need, and we even heard a lot about it with during
covid That truck drivers couldn't find what they were
looking for. It's very, very different. Call. Now the thing
that now, of course, there's a lot of impact that everyone has
thoughts on. Here's the CBC with their report, and then I have
another boots on the ground.
Unknown: This strike will at least delay delivery of
everything from car parts to alcohol, furniture to cotton and
wood.
Yeah, we have, we have containers that are at sea.
That's Anthony
for Musa, president of National Produce Marketing in Toronto.
He's scrambling to get containers carrying mangoes from
Brazil and pineapples from Costa Rica to a port so they can
offload before that produce goes bad.
The value of those containers is going to be, I'll tell you, if
you're looking at about, you know, 30 to $40,000 US
per container. He says a day or two is manageable, but after
that, those mangoes and pineapples will start to rot.
Pascal Chan, from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, says the
potential hit to businesses gets big fast. That
daily trade value is
estimated in excess of 2.1 billion US dollars, and then
given the amount of trade goods and services that flow across
the countries, it's $3.6 billion across the border every day.
Shipping companies have known this strike was a possibility,
so they've been rerouting containers for months. Ports
unaffected by the Labor Action have seen record levels of cargo
since August, so there won't be immediate shortages, but even if
both sides reach a deal, Danny Munch, an economist with the
American Farm Bureau Federation, says it could take months to
sort through the backlog. A two
Douche: to three day strike will take two weeks to clear. A one
week strike will bring us into November, and then two week
strike will bring us into early next year before those
containers and ships will be processed.
Unknown: The Biden administration has been under
pressure to intervene, but for now, we'll only say collective
bargaining is the best way for workers to get the pay and
benefits they deserve.
Adam Curry: So let's stick with the with the shipping part. So
again, from the trucking industry, they have a podcast,
believe it or not, and they have an update on inventory, so stuff
that is already on shore that needs to be shipped into to
destinations within the United States, it
Unknown: is day two of the International longshoremen
Association union strike at East and Gulf Coast ports.
Repercussions are rippling into industries across the country,
and one of those is trucking. And joining us now is Chris
spear, CEO and president of American Trucking associations.
Chris, it is good to see you. So let's dig right into the strike.
Chris, I'm curious you know the impact, the ripple effects
you're seeing in your industry, the trucking industry? Well,
Josh, we're not even two days into this strike, and we're
already seeing 62 container ships scrambled that were
inbound at East and ghost Gulf Coast ports carrying nearly
500,000 containers. My industry moves as an example, 12,000 of
those boxes a day at New York, New Jersey, we're already
tracking multiple ports and seeing the activity diminish in
Savannah and Houston, 100% shut down in activity for trucks. If
you go a little further out in Savannah, you're seeing truck
activity and warehousing down 60% as those supplies and
inventories begin to deplete in Houston, 20% but obviously more
warehousing there than in Savannah. So we're seeing the
activity really quickly unfold and probably by through this
weekend. If this strike continues, those inventories
will be gone. So we
Adam Curry: heard that shipping companies have been rerouting
for many months in anticipation of this, and one of our
producers comes in anonymously, who works for the largest
railroad in the United States. He says, We compete against
trucks and barge. If the commodity being shipped can move
via barge, it almost always does it that way, because it's
cheaper. It's cheaper to float products down a river than use a
locomotive truck to power them across the country. However, he
says that the rivers have been at the lowest in a long time,
and they have been shipping and moving products from the west
coast on 40 train cars, tallow, lumber, automotive parts, steel,
etc. He says the Longshoremen are way overplaying their hands
on how much of an impact this will have. And again, he says
the river levels have been lower and unpredictable. Railroads
successfully made the case that shippers need to have
optionality and should fold rail into the transportation plan,
and they have been ready for this. So it may not be as bad as
everyone is saying. The thing that we're not talking about is
the exports. The exports could make it a very cold winter in
Europe, because LNG is not moving out. And if you recall,
ever since the war in Ukraine, there's no gas from Russia. Nord
Stream magically blowed up, and we have been exporting most of
the liquid natural gas to Europe. So that's not going to
get out. Also, soybeans. This is major stuff that we export 34
billion a year, corn, wheat, cotton, oil, although oil will
be okay, the they can still the reserves at the ports are pretty
empty, so they can fill up those vats, from what I understand for
quite a while. So it may not be as bad as everyone thinks it is
already, though it's impacting the meat business exports.
Unknown: Griffiths, with today's Ag Day minute, a strike at East
Coast and Gulf Coast ports will have an immediate impact on the
movement of some ag products. That's because nearly half of us
meat export volume is shipped out through those ports.
Officials say the hit to the pork sector will be harder than
the beef sector, with nearly a third of us pork supplies being
exported. Officials with the US Meat Export Federation say that
for every week the strike goes on, a minimum
of $100 million will be lost in
revenue.
Adam Curry: There you go. So the exports, that could be a real
problem. I think that's a bigger problem, maybe even than the
imports.
John C Dvorak: Well, the exports, especially on the East
Coast, are high, yeah, not so much on the west coast. But I'll
say this, this is kind of interesting. If the meats are
not being exported, they have to re, uh, kind of push them into
the domestic market, which will lower grocery prices. Yes. And
it's almost as if, because everyone says, well, there's
going to be inflationary, because everything's going to go
up in price, not food, no. So food will come down in price. So
meat prices should come down, because they're going to have to
flood the American market with beef. Do you think and pork? Do
Adam Curry: you think that's why the Biden administration is not
implementing tart Taft Hartley, because they know it will
actually lower in place exactly where I was headed with this.
Thank you. Yeah, I think you're right. Because they're like, Oh,
we're not going to Taft Hartley them, let them go. And then they
brought this. Well, you
John C Dvorak: have to have, the problem is you have to have some
pretty sharp and I don't believe this is true. You have to have
some pretty sharp strategists in the Biden administration, only
have the DONILON brothers, those guys from they're not dumb.
They're not dumb, no. So it's possible that the whole thing is
strategized. And it was even encouraged that the strike takes
place, because that's going to divert the meat back into the
domestic market, which should it should drop the price of cuts of
beef to next, and the hamburger be back down to, you know, less
than $1 a pound.
Adam Curry: Bring back the dollar menu meal,
John C Dvorak: and we'll get back. Get back to cheap chicken.
Cheap chicken is on
Adam Curry: the horizon. Uh, producer from Walmart. So the
rumors spreading at Walmart HQ in Bentonville today, as there's
about 24 hours before shortages start hitting Walmart due to the
hurricane and shipping strike, the only thing about this rumor
is that it's only being spread by Walmart corporate employees
in parentheses, shareholders, has a very similar vibe to the
early pandemic. Days before everything went nuts, a bunch of
the execs had covid and kept it secret. Considering we are in
the early stages of the Christmas shopping season and
we're in election season, the strike seems a bit suspicious.
Unknown: Toilet paper, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Adam Curry: Oh, have you seen what's happening at Costco?
Everybody's paper, toilet paper, water, paper towels. Everybody's
going, I'm
John C Dvorak: going to Costco today, and I'll report back. I
personally, I doubt it. Well, I
Adam Curry: mean, I've seen the videos of the long, long videos,
yeah, yeah, yeah, but I think it'll be I'm in agreement with
our producers here, by the way, they are boots on the ground.
What do I know? I'm not a longshoreman. I'm a long
podcaster. Man, literally, it may not be that bad. It may
actually be be somewhat advantageous. We'll have to see,
because the West Coast is open, and they've been prepared for
this, and the trains are rolling lots
John C Dvorak: of times. I should mention this is I'm kind
of boots on the ground in the fact that I have a train track
that I can visually see from the hill. I don't see that much. I
don't see an increase in movement.
Adam Curry: Well, they're probably squeezing the east
coast because you guys are a holes like, let's not send it to
them.
John C Dvorak: It just looks normal to me. So CMBS, and I'm
not saying, you know, I mean, I understand in Southern
California that, because it's been posted lines of trucks that
go miles and miles waiting to get into Long Beach and the
other whatever ports are down there that take cargo
containers. I'm looking at the freeway. I can see the freeway
from here. I'm seeing normal amount of trucks carrying a
container. I don't see anything. It's not ridiculous. It looks
pretty standard to me. And you know, been to the vegetable
store recently. There's nothing different. Peruvian avocados are
still there.
Adam Curry: Gina Raimondo, the Yeah, exactly. Our Commerce
Secretary,
John C Dvorak: the hatchet faced, horrible rat woman. I.
Adam Curry: That's a good description. The hatchet faced
horrible rat woman. Yes, our commerce secretary was on CNBC,
and this is something that I've noticed that's been happening a
lot in the mainstream media. And I know it's related to the Hatch
Act. I think it's in this intro. Welcome
Unknown: back. Everybody joining us right now is Gina Raimondo.
She is the current Commerce Secretary, but she's joining us
this morning in her personal capacity as a surrogate for the
vice president Kamala Harris's campaign and Commerce Secretary.
Thank you very much for being here this morning. So
Adam Curry: I'm hearing this a lot. You'll see Pete Buttigieg
like I'm just here in my personal capacity as a
surrogate,
John C Dvorak: and that's bull crap, because you're still
getting paid. Yes.
Adam Curry: But this is new. I haven't seen this in the past,
where they're all, this is a
John C Dvorak: legal disclaimer. Because of all the law fair
going on, they have to do this so they can. No, I didn't know.
No, this is I was on my own. I took the day off.
Adam Curry: I'm not really working for the American people
are working for Kamala.
Unknown: I realize you're here as a surrogate for the Vice
President's campaign, but there's so much news of the day
that I feel we have to ask you about wanted to wait stop.
John C Dvorak: Does this count as part of her job if she's
answering questions, does the ticket? Does the ticker start
up?
Adam Curry: Now, this is a good question.
John C Dvorak: This is like a lawyer. You know? They say,
Well, this is a lawyer. The clock is on. Here we go about.
Wanted
Unknown: to start with this potential strike at the ports
that's expected to take place tonight, at midnight. Obviously,
this first time since the 1970s that you would see strikes all
up and down, not only the East Coast, but the Gulf ports. What
would this mean for commerce in this country? What would this
mean for businesses if we go into the strike? And what do you
know about it?
Good morning. So as you said, I'm here in my personal
capacity. I would say, look, it's not a secret that this
would be depending on how long it lasts. Could be incredibly
disruptive to commerce, as you well know, you know that so much
Adam Curry: commerce, by the way, how much does he sound like
Kamala, it's the milieu She's totally in. The camp she's
probably living at kamala's house. Be
Unknown: incredibly disruptive to commerce, as you well know,
you know that so much commerce moves through the ports, and
especially, you know, if it goes a few days, I think I'm sure
companies probably have their plans set. But especially we're
in peak season getting ready for the Christmas season. If a
strike were to drag on, I think it could be really very, very
disruptive to commerce. So I do hope that the parties, you know,
stay at the table and resolve it as quickly as possible,
hopefully averting a strike, but certainly, you know, keeping the
length of the strike as short as possible the knock on effects
through the supply chain come become quite extensive.
Adam Curry: Okay, so in for my money, first of all, she works
for us. Okay, we don't pay her to work for Kamala Harris. She
works for us. She should be on CNBC in her capacity as Commerce
Secretary, and be answering these questions, and not as
you'll hear in this next clip, dodging around, because I don't
want to get in problem with that. Work for us, lady, not for
Kamala. Where
Unknown: are the issues most prominent? Where have you been
kind of focused and hearing on what would happen if the strike
goes, let's say longer than a week?
Again, I have not been very focused on that. I would refer
you, why not? You to the White House or the transportation
secretary. I
know the administration. The President himself has said that
he is not going to
Adam Curry: push the two. Becky's doing a good job here.
She's trying to get it out of her sides together. He's
Unknown: urged them to talk. And I just wonder, have you heard
from business leaders? You probably are the person in the
administration who has business leaders here more than just
about anybody else, in terms of what this might mean for them.
Adam Curry: Come on. Answer the question. I'm
Unknown: smiling because, again, I want to stay in the bounds of
the Hatch Act here. So if you wanted to have me back as
Commerce Secretary later in the week. Maybe we could talk about
that. But as I said, I haven't been particularly involved. So
where
Adam Curry: are the priorities with this person? Her priority
should be America and the American people, and she should
be on first as Commerce Secretary. Then come back or
say, Okay, I'll be Commerce Secretary now, and we don't talk
about Kamala, and then we'll do the second anything but this,
that was, it was very disturbing to me, and they all do it. Pete
Buttigieg, pathetic. Pete. Buttigieg goes on Kara swishes
on podcast. I'm here in my personal capacity again.
Douchebags, douchebags, and then this, thank
Unknown: you, Commerce Secretary. Why don't we talk
about why you're here today, and again, you are here in your
personal capacity today to talk about what you see in the
economy and as a surrogate of the Harris campaign, what do you
see as the potential impact after the election? On this
front,
I see huge you were just asking me about disruption associated
with storms and ports, and I think that's what you'll see
with President Trump. He is erratic. His plans on tariffs, I
think will be very, very negative for this economy. Not
only will they raise prices on everything, he's talking about a
tariff on all imports. I mean, that's insane, right? That will
raise prices of everything for everyone. It will also hurt our
manufacturing industry. People don't talk about this, but a lot
of things made in America rely upon imports of Americans and
such. It's going to lose, you know, it's going to cost
manufacturing jobs. Is going to raise prices on everything. It
could kick us into a trade war with certainly China, which we
don't need. You know, I say every business leader I've ever
spoken with, I used to be a governor. I used to run a
business myself. You want predictability, right? You want
somebody in the Oval Office who will engage with you, who will
listen to you, who will be predictable, who will be smart
and thoughtful. That's what you'll get in Kamala Harris,
Adam Curry: okay, so she said a lot there about the tariffs and
how horrible it's going to be. Trump was on I am the podfather,
after all, was on the Dave Ramsey podcast, and he spoke
about tariffs and president, William McKinley, this is a
wrap. I've not heard from him yet. The word
Unknown: tariff, to me, is a very beautiful word, because it
can, it can save our country, truly. And yet, I think, because
of graft, because of a lot of consulting payments and other
things that given by other countries. We have so much
fighting with politicians on using it. I saved our steel
industries by putting tariffs on steel that China came in and
dumped. And you know what they do? They dump and dump and dump.
Everybody goes out of business, and they buy those businesses
very cheap, and then they raise the prices to higher than they
ever were. That's one of the many benefits that they have if
they want to do it. But by putting tariffs on as an
example, in the furniture business in North Carolina, it
was so vibrant, and they stole our business, and they charge us
if you wanted to build a furniture place, if you want to
sell your furniture in China, they won't take it. But if you
want to build a plant in China to make furniture in China,
using their labor, they open it. We're doing the same thing, but
a lot of people, oh, well, we don't want to have tariffs. The
country was at the richest point in its history. In the 1890s it
was all tariffs. If you looked at William McKinley as an
example. He was a big tariff president. They had committees
that were put in charge of what to do with the money we were
taking in so much money. And McKinley would say, Why should
we let other people come in and steal our factories and steal
our workers and steal our jobs, and why shouldn't we benefit?
And he tariffed other countries, and we made so much, and then
they went to the income tax system later on, but they would
actually have, they had a blue ribbon committee. Our country
was so rich, they didn't know what to do with the money, and
this blue ribbon committee was set up to determine how can we
spend all of this money? And they took it in through tariffs.
But we can turn our country around, make it strong, and then
guarded the tariffs. I
Adam Curry: had never heard of McKinley and his and his
tariffs. And if you look at shot him, they shot him for it. Oh,
really, well, that's a day wrecker.
John C Dvorak: Well, he wasn't the only tariff president. I
mean, Jefferson got himself into trouble doing the same thing
much earlier on, but
Adam Curry: during McKinley, everything that I've been able
to find it works. It there was, I mean, we probably had actual
manufacturing
John C Dvorak: Yes, we had manufacturing. We were making
stuff here. And the idea, Trump's idea is, of course, the
tariff. The tariff isn't to charge so that everybody has to
pay more for the stuff that's being imported. It's to make the
American product more competitive, yeah, by having the
other prices go up.
Adam Curry: But we need product. We do need products, but we
don't
John C Dvorak: make much. I mean, it's an idealistic
approach at this point. I think it's too little too late to be
honest about it, in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. Do
Adam Curry: you think, in your opinion, do you think the
tariffs will just raise prices across the board? That's. That's
what that's what they're saying. The devil knows
John C Dvorak: they do. I mean, he, he's done them before, and
it hasn't raised prices across the board. What raised Christ
what raises prices across the board is ridiculous, unfettered
spending, which caused the inflation that we have today,
and it had nothing to do with tariffs. Oh, there's
Adam Curry: that. There's that. Are you sure he was shot?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, he was assassinated in 1901, huh?
Adam Curry: He had a lot with the Panama Canal. Oh man, let me
see assassination. He did too much, yeah, and put up. But he
had a cool top hat, though. He had one of those, like, top
hats, and he had, he had a big belly, so he had one of those
dusters down to his knees. Look, Trump should try that. Look.
John C Dvorak: Try top hat, as long as they start looking like
Taft. That was the fact Taft
Adam Curry: was no good. So amidst all of this port and the
hurricane and, you know, and I'm, I'm sitting here looking at
stuff prepping yesterday, and I'm listening to the hams to the
repeater, because it was just really interesting to hear how
they were handling that. And then all of a sudden, break egg
break,
Unknown: the judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020, election
interference trial here in Washington, DC, released 165
Adam Curry: pages on Wednesday, which has a lot of pages, must
be something going on. Basically
Unknown: outlines the prosecution's case against
Donald Trump and includes some never seen before evidence that
they have against the former president of the United States.
This then part of the Special Counsel Jack Smith's case to try
John C Dvorak: to raise the story I was always avoiding, but
you since you brought it up, I had 200 evidence never seen
before. What evidence was never seen before? This is a document.
It's coming to somebody bringing you in the document. Was there
evidence in there? Like, you know, a book or up some paper
fingerprints. I mean, what are they talking about? They
Adam Curry: had fingerprints. Now the evidence is at the end
of this report. This is why I'm playing the report. And they
went on for hours. Jake Tapper was live. Oh, I'm only at Page
seven. I'm already sweating. I've got a boner. It's crazy.
This
Unknown: then pause of the Special Counsel Jack Smith's
case to try to SCOTUS. Proof this Supreme Court proof this
ruling, after the Supreme Court ruled in July that Donald Trump
had immunity for acts that he undertook whilst in office. The
Special Counsel is arguing that the majority of these things do
not fall under that and instead were carried out by somebody who
was actively seeking office and not currently holding office.
Those include the fact that Donald Trump was told that his
claim about dead people voting in Georgia was false, but
continued to push that narrative. This
Adam Curry: is nothing new. None of this is new so far, but there
is something new. Connor real evidence on the way,
Unknown: also includes an anecdote about the former Vice
President Mike Pence trying to convince Donald Trump that he
lost the election, and instead trying to run in 2024 and Trump
allegedly said, I don't know 2024 is so far off on how the
Trump campaign is saying that this is an unconstitutional
witch hunt. They say that it is a tantamount to election
interference, the fact that it is happening this close to the
election now about a month away. But we're not really expecting
any movement on this case before that election date. If anything,
it's unlikely to go ahead before the end of the year. And of
course, the future of it depends on who gets into the White House
after that election. If it's the Democrats, then this case will
likely go ahead, although Donald Trump does have some recourse
with the district cause and then the Supreme Court. But if Donald
Trump wins and gets in, then his department of justice is likely
to make this case go away altogether.
Adam Curry: So the whole 160 some pages, the evidence is that
he was alone in his own private dining room tweeting, and
therefore it was really was he wasn't acting as the president.
This is unbelievable. This is the saddest October surprise
I've ever seen, because that's what it was. Well, even Hillary
Clinton, like, oh, what? Something's gonna happen. We're
getting October surprise.
John C Dvorak: I don't believe this is the October surprise.
This is too lame.
Adam Curry: These people are lame. I think there'll be
John C Dvorak: something better than that.
Unknown: Well, stock,
John C Dvorak: what's the date today? The third yes,
Adam Curry: we're just getting started. Well, I mean, look what
we already have. We have a hurricane, we have a port
strike, we have Iran and Israel. And what is the President doing?
He's sending messages to us.
Unknown: No agenda is the best podcast in the universe, hands
down. My dad used to say, Joey, those no agenda guys shoot from
the shoulder. Here's to four more years and John and Adam. I
hope you never find that exit strategy.
Adam Curry: There you go, the guys,
John C Dvorak: well that you know that's what he's got, at
least a good use of his time.
Adam Curry: The guy has nothing better to do than send messages
to podcasters. What is he doing?
John C Dvorak: I think we should talk about the debates,
Adam Curry: the. A singular debate. Yeah, the
John C Dvorak: debate, the debate, okay, and only because I
have to, right off the bat the first thing I heard. I don't
have a lot of clips from the debate. I have one because it
just backs up a point that I want to make with PBS being
slanted. I know. Yeah, surprise.
Adam Curry: What
John C Dvorak: a surprise. I'm shocked, shocked, very shocked,
I tell you, is the is, can we Britt Hume said, the debate
moderators were terrible. They were smug and arrogant, like he
says, yes, they are both terrible. Why is Nora O'Donnell
still working at CBS? There's been nothing but rumors for the
last year that they're going to kick her out of there. And yet,
there she is. Can I? And then you have Margaret Brennan, the
Face the Nation, woman who is just who I I've mentioned this
before. I saw her when she was being interviewed during covid,
when she was at home working, and she's a Hillary Clinton
clone. She wears the same stupid hair thing, and she looks like
Hillary without her makeup. It's just, it's just like ridiculous
Adam Curry: while we're on appearance, can I talk about
wardrobes for a moment? Take it well, okay, just from a
television production standpoint, they had Vance and
Waltz's ties matching the moderator's dresses. So waltz
had a blue tie, which is not all and it wasn't a very attractive
blue tie, and Nora was wearing her blue dress, and then Vance
was wearing an atrocious reddish pink tie, and that's what
Deborah was. What's her name? The pink lady
John C Dvorak: that is. Now you got, you said, Deborah, that
screwed me up. I can't remember her name now, but that lady's
face, the she's the Face the Nation woman, what?
Adam Curry: Who was, who made, who made this up? Who said that
was a good idea? I thought it was horrible. It was, it was all
colors. I know it's a big deal, but yeah, ugly colors, and then
coordinating it across
John C Dvorak: the shoulder pads, on, on, yeah,
Adam Curry: well, that's modern. That's, that's supposedly the
look now, yeah, it is, yeah, yeah. They
John C Dvorak: kind of looks, kind of looks terrible. Yeah.
Adam Curry: It looks very 80s, I agree. So anyway, on onward to
the content, now that we've dealt with the and, and the
whole open is superficial part of it, well, and the whole
opening had a very Jeopardy feel to it. You know, with the
camera, move up and they're standing behind those desks. I
was, I was hearing the tune, doo. Doo, doo. I was hearing the
tune in my head. Whole thing was like, I mean, I found it rather
tedious and boring. You I couldn't
John C Dvorak: watch it.
Adam Curry: Well, how'd you get clips? Then
John C Dvorak: I went back and forth. Oh, okay, all right. And
I, most of my clips are analysis clips. I don't really have that.
I
Adam Curry: have a couple clips from from it themselves, but we
can do your analysis. I
John C Dvorak: have one clip from it that I want to bring in
after I do that well, as I do the PBS analysis, okay? And then
I have a clip that needs to be played. There's the show. PBS
did a terrible job. Listen to this. Here's the I got three
clips from PBS debate, PBS analysis, one
Unknown: little more than a month to go, the Republican and
Democratic presidential campaigns are dialing in on key
swing states, and
for the first and only time, vice presidential candidate,
Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz squared off on the
debate stage. Lisa Desjardins has this report. Lisa
Adam Curry: Desjardins with your big nose in Georgia today,
Unknown: Vice President Kamala Harris arrived to survey the
aftermath of Hurricane. I'm
here today to thank all of those who are working. What
Adam Curry: does this do with the debate?
John C Dvorak: That's what I'm asking myself. This is a
straight up clip right from the show
Unknown: to get folks the support and the relief that they
so desperately need and so rightly deserve, and
particularly devastating in terms of the loss of life that
this community has experienced, the loss of normalcy and the
loss of critical resources.
Adam Curry: Okay, that had nothing to do with the debate.
So
John C Dvorak: they throw it to Lisa Desjardins, as you put it,
and she talks about Camelot. What does that get to do with
anything they started? This is a debate a series of okay, well,
let's throw a little promotion in there for Kamala. Let's go to
part two. Meanwhile, fresh
Unknown: off last night's CBS vice presidential debate,
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz kicked off a Pennsylvania bus
tour. What
Adam Curry: are they avoiding? The entire debate altogether.
They're just promoting them.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, first we had Kamala promotion. Now we
have a bus tour from Tim This is great. Tim timmy's bus
Adam Curry: tour to right now
Unknown: as vice president Kamala Harris has only one.
Quiet the people, the people
and Donald Trump's party mate, Ohio, Senator JD Vance rallied
crowds in Michigan. We
already ran this experiment once. Donald Trump's economic
policies worked for American families. They worked for
American consumers.
Governor. Senator, thank you for joining us in the vice
presidential debate last night, Vance came out focused on
Harris. Governor
waltz, you blamed Donald Trump, who has been the vice president
for the last three and a half years? And the answer is, your
running mate, not mine. Well,
Governor Walz had a shakier start. He was asked about the
Middle East and whether Israel should preemptively strike at
Iran,
Iran or I, Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is
absolutely fundamental. Getting its hostages back fundamental
and ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
at the top of Senator Vance's agenda, immigration moderators
asked him about former President Trump's vow to carry out mass
deportations. I
think the first thing that we do is we start with the criminal
migrants. About a million of those people have committed some
form of crime in addition to crossing the border illegally.
The contrast was clear, but the tone civil walls blamed Trump
for blocking a relatively conservative border bill and
criticized for inflammatory false statements about Haitian
migrants in Springfield, Ohio, wow.
John C Dvorak: Now what? What you're telling me that that
stupid bill that was killed and it by the that really wouldn't
just conservative. Well, they're allowed, like, a million people
in a month without any problem whatsoever. This is, this is so
slanted, but it gets worse with clip three.
Unknown: I believe Senator Vance wants to solve this, but by
standing with Donald Trump and not working together to find a
solution, it becomes a talking point, and when it becomes a
talking point like this, we dehumanize and villainize other
human beings. The
people that I'm most worried about in Springfield, Ohio are
the American citizens who have had their lives destroyed by
Kamala Harris's open border.
The moderators stepped in with one of just two fact checks in
the debate, sparking a fiery exchange.
And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio, does
have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,
temporary protected.
Thank you, Senator.
We have so much to get
a turn out of the economy. Margaret, the
rules were that you got a fact check. Another
substantive contrast came over abortion.
Adam Curry: The report should have said, even though the rules
were that the moderators would not fact check. They fact
checked anyway, and then wouldn't let him respond and
turn the mics off.
John C Dvorak: Plus she cuts it or she lets, she lets Vance kind
of bitch and moan there a little bit. And then she goes on to the
next topic about abortion. This is Lisa Desjardins great
objective, by the way, PBS has gone so left ever I mean, we say
it all the time, but ever since GWEN IFILL died, yeah, this,
this, this news operation has is no good either. No good.
Adam Curry: I repent often how we, how we made fun of Gwen, and
we really miss her. Now she was, she was keeping that thing
together. So she
John C Dvorak: goes off and talks about something else. I
had to cut it off there, because you went on and on and on, just
kind of going nowhere. So I had to back up. And so I got the
debate fact check fiasco clip. And this is what really
happened. Thank you, Governor, and I'm sorry this. This is what
really happened when, when Vance was confronted by Margaret
Brennan and Nora. And it was really Nora who brought in the
fact check, and then Margaret Brennan cut it off and said we
got to move on when he tried to correct her bad fact check.
Unknown: Thank you, Governor. And just to clarify for our
viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian
migrants who have legal status, temporary protected.
But thank you, Senator. We
have so much to get to. I
think it's important to turn out of the economy. Margaret, the
rules were that you got a fact check. And since you're fact
checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually
going on. So there's an application called the CBP one
app where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for
asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the
wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand that is not a person
coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years.
Thank you, Senator, rotation of illegal immigration. Margaret,
thank you, Senator, for describing the legal
process since 1990
Thank you, gentlemen,
we want to have has not been on
Adam Curry: the books. There it is.
Unknown: Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics
are cut. We have so much we want to get to thank. You for
explaining the legal process. We
have microphone power. Not
John C Dvorak: only that, but she was sneering. Margaret
Brennan, we had the big smile on her face after somebody in the
control room cut the mic and said, No, we're not talking
about this, and we're going to go on down the important things.
This was actually a debate that could have broken out. It would
have been an actual debate. It would have been interesting. But
no, they had to cut the mic because they wanted to be in
complete control. So they lied about the fact checking this
CBS. CBS lied about the fact checking. CBS lied about the
open mics. This was terrible. Which brings me to my next
series of debate clips, which is only a couple, is only a couple.
These are the analysis clips I picked off from NTD, because
they brought some guy in. Now I have to find them.
Adam Curry: Debate analysis unique NTD, just that might be
it Joining
Unknown: us now for his analysis of the first and final vice
presidential debate at this election is former Virginia
Governor Jim Gilmore. He's also the former US ambassador to the
organization for senior Security and Cooperation in Europe, Think
Tank. Governor, welcome. Thank you so much for joining us.
Thanks for the chance to be on NTD, no,
I love it now for all the verbal attacks on the campus,
Adam Curry: my commercial rates just went up. Thanks for giving
me this opportunity. What
John C Dvorak: was funny about it when he said, thanks for
letting give me the opportunity to be on NTD, he made a point,
Adam Curry: if NTD called me today for a podcasting story,
I'd like No, no, I got no time for you.
Unknown: Thanks for the chance to be on NTD. Now
for all the verbal attacks was seen on the campaign trail,
Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz had a cordial debate,
harkening back to what politics used to be. What's your
assessment of the tone and substance of the debate? We
Adam Curry: used to have actual debates? Well,
Unknown: first of all, the tone was surprisingly more cordial
than we've seen in other times, but, but frankly, I have a
little different take on it. It was nice and cordial and
friendly until the last question. The last question was
clearly a setup. That was the question that basically demanded
advance, contradict his ticket leader, President Trump, and put
him on the spot on that
Adam Curry: he had. What happened there? What just jumped
in the audio that was odd. I
John C Dvorak: did just the way it came out.
Unknown: That was the question that basically demanded advance,
contradict his ticket leader, President Trump, ticket leader,
and put him on the spot on that he handled it in a death way.
But then you saw walls actually attack him in a vigorous and
violent sort of way, told him that he just answer was a damn
answer, and that was clearly different from all the preceding
discussions that had been had up to the debate at that point. It
seems to me, it's perfectly clear that that was a setup that
he had been briefed on that he said, Now there, you know, we're
going to ask him this. This is the way you're going to answer.
It seems to me that the time has come to get away from this, this
business of just picking liberal teleprompter readers as the as
the moderators. This was a terrible debate from the point
of view of the moderators. So you know, I'm not as warm and
friendly about this debate as maybe some people are, if
Adam Curry: I if I can just interject, because this is
really bugging me now, these are not debates. This is bullcrap
that we, the American people, have allowed the media to
determine debates. The whole debate would be, go stand
together and then debate and you can and it would be great if you
could yell and get in people's faces, and that's a debate. None
of this is a debate.
John C Dvorak: In fact, I think clip two addresses this a little
bit, and I have some thoughts on it too.
Unknown: There's been more focus on this vice presidential debate
than previous ones due to a wide range of factors when it comes
to moving the needle among voters. Do you think last
night's debate will do that?
Well, I think that it was intended to try to do that. I
think, once again, the the CBS framed the questions in such a
way as to try to put Vance in a bad position. They didn't talk
about inflation. They instead talked about giving away
taxpayers money to homeowners, even though it was inflation
that causes the homeowners problems, paid leave in just all
kinds of ways that they were shaping this debate. So I think
that the goal was to try to move the needle. And frankly, in my
view, the modern telecommunications age does re
amplify some of this. So I'm a big fan of the debates, but none
of this. I think it's time to move away from these, these,
these same network people, and move back into something more
like the Presidential Commission or something of that order.
This, this business is just going in and being beat up by
left wing commentators. Has got to stop. Up, amen.
John C Dvorak: And I was thinking about this comment he
made, it's got to stop. When did it begin? It began with Trump,
because Trump, when, when Trump did an independent debate
situation, I think it was with CNN or one of these groups, the
ratings went through the roof, yeah, when Trump started. And so
all these networks said, Why are we getting in on this action?
Because the numbers went through the roof because the old debate,
Nixon Kennedy debates and everything before that. They
were, you know, they were, they were debates, all right, but
they weren't like Blockbuster tent pole pro things for the for
these networks, entertainment, entertainment that Trump, Trump
specifically provided. And I mean, it probably began with the
primaries in 2016 when Trump was calling, you know, little la
Rubio and did Jeb Bush was a loser and all the stuff low
energy, low energy, low energy loser. It grabbed the public's
attention. They started watching stuff that they would never
watch in a million years. And you watch your local mayoral
debates. Nobody watches these things because they're boring.
Trump made them interesting and compelling. And people oh, let's
go see what he's going to do this time they're eating the
dogs. I mean, he always had something and so. But this guy's
right. This is bold crap. These networks are this is no good.
These these debates are useless crap. Well,
Adam Curry: remember, it was the Women's League of voters who
organized these previously, and they said, We're giving up. We
don't want to participate in this anymore the way the media
wants to run it. They gave it. They gave it back. Said, No,
yeah, because
John C Dvorak: the media was stepping all over the basics.
The media is a bunch of greedy bastards, and they just saw this
as a money maker, a money grab to put Trump on and beat him up,
or try to get him to say something silly, like, you know,
or something funny, like, funny, usually, yeah, they're eating
the dogs.
Adam Curry: The best, it is the best. It is the best.
John C Dvorak: So it was, so it was a, I don't know, I thought
the thing was a joke, and Brandon and O'Donnell suck, and
they should be out of this.
Adam Curry: The whole concept sucks. It's not a debate. It's
just, it's just not a debate. Well, when the
John C Dvorak: debate almost broke out, they cut the mic. Was
like, there's there it is, right there, there's your debate.
Can't have that.
Adam Curry: There was a little bit of a debate where Walt's
actually admitted to wanting to censor people for hate speech,
and that kind of slipped through. And then a massive fact
check, which we've done on this show, which they just let go,
Unknown: but you guys attack us for not believing in democracy.
The most sacred right under the United States democracy is the
First Amendment. You yourself have said there's no First
Amendment right to misinformation. Kamala Harris
wants to threaten government. It
Adam Curry: kind of got buried, but I'm talking about hate
speech, no, and this could have been a lively debate.
Unknown: Kamala Harris wants to threaten government and big tech
to silence people from speaking their minds. That is a threat to
democracy that will long outlive this present political moment, I
would like Democrats and Republicans to both reject
censorship. Let's persuade one another. Let's argue about
ideas, and then let's come together. Afterwards. You can't
yell
fire in a crowded theater. Fact Check fast. That's the test.
That's the Supreme Court test. Tim,
fire in a crowded theater. You guys wanted to kick people off
of Facebook for saying that toddlers fire in a crowded
theater that is criticizing the policies of the government.
Adam Curry: So we actually discussed this not too long ago.
Oh, yeah, maybe, maybe 300 episodes, or maybe 200 episodes
ago. It was not a Supreme Court decision. It wasn't the Supreme
Court stance on what you can and can't do. It was in an opinion,
in a dissent, and actually a dictum, non binding statement
from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, who said, Well, you can't do
that. Then they actually got into discussing it. And you if
you think there's a fire in a crowded theater, you can yell
fire. You can there is still free speech. There is no Supreme
Court decision on yelling fire in a crowded theater or any
other venue for that matter.
John C Dvorak: I I don't understand how they get away
with it, and I want to I had one clip here from Bill Gates, no.
And what I'm going to play this clip for is this idea that you
can't do this, you can't do that, or should be rules against
it. You're seeing it on Bill Maher's show with the various
guests. You're hearing it left and right, especially from the
Democrats about, you know you should there should be
restrictions on front basically saying there should be
restrictions on free speech, which is. A joke, if you think
about it, but they keep pushing it to the point where you hear
stuff like this from guys that you think are smart, like Bill
Gates.
Unknown: We should have free speech, but if you're inciting
violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you
know, where are those boundaries that even the US should? You
know, have rules. And then if you have rules, you know, what
is it? Is there some AI that encodes those rules because you
have billions of activity and you know, if you catch it a day
later, the harm is, is done.
Adam Curry: Oh, it's time for another Pie in the Face bill.
You gotta be careful with this. This nonce, I
John C Dvorak: found that to be the most abhorrent thing he's
ever said. I haven't watched
Adam Curry: his show yet. He has a Netflix series now, but I'm
gonna have to, because I think this comes from that Netflix
series. Well, it could be I'm going to have to watch it now,
because there may be some good clips something else that popped
up, which is also not properly fact checked, but I don't have
the clip, but waltz was talking about Finland. Finland is so
great. Finland. Nothing. They got guns. Nothing ever happens
in Finland. Finland's Fantastic. Well, luckily we have wander
Helm, sir, wander Helm, who has come back to listening to the
show after a multi year absence. And he
John C Dvorak: said, Hey, Finland came up and stopped
listening in the first place. He didn't
Adam Curry: like our stance on Russia and Ukraine. Yeah, and,
you know, because Russia is their neighbor, because
John C Dvorak: we were peaceniks, is that what he
thinks we you know, don't you'd rather have war going on between
these two. Hey,
Adam Curry: I'm happy he came back. He's giving us another
shot. I'm happy it always happens. You
John C Dvorak: always give us free phones. If you recall, I
Adam Curry: know that when he worked at Nokia. Then he was
really awesome. It gave us lots of free gear. It was fantastic.
Well, we also promoted it. We talked about the stuff we got,
and we the good and the bad. He says, Well, first of all, the
rhetoric about Finland, he says, a little skewed. We have 5.6
million people versus and he looks it up, 333 point 3
million. He says that is actually the number that came
rolling out of Google magic number alert. He says Finland
just suffered its first school shooting in over a decade
earlier this year. Hmm, that wasn't mentioned in the debate.
So yes, of course, they have guns, but the number of murders
per capita is much higher than the average European country,
mainly, or usually, family members killing each other, or
drunk friends who are killing each other
John C Dvorak: so well they drink too much in Finland
Adam Curry: by Luke nice having you.
John C Dvorak: Well, he has to admit this everybody, I've been
there, and one of the things they tell you, they warn you
about the fact that there's a bunch. It's like, worse than
Poland was when they first invented vodka. Worse than the
Russians in their vibe. They drink too much.
Adam Curry: You got to do something in those long, cold
winters. And what else, you
John C Dvorak: drink too much you get mad. It's because some
people, you know, they're they're angry drunk people,
angry drunks, angry, angry drunks. And we all know, we've
all run into them. There's a happy drunks, there's there's
drunks that want to fall asleep all the time. And then there's
the angry, mean spirited drunk. They get a little alcohol in
them, and they're all and, boom, you shoot somebody,
Adam Curry: yes, and boom, you shoot somebody Exactly. So while
we're on the topic, Walt, of course, had the flub of the
evening, which everybody laughed and made memes about the best
Unknown: one. So I've become friends with school shooters.
I've seen it look the NRA. I was the NRA guy for a long time. I
become friends
Adam Curry: with school shooters. All right, I did have
another funny clip from CNN this morning with Casey hunt. Casey,
Casey and she had senior Trump advisor, Jason Miller, on CNN is
really trying to shake it up. He's going up
Unknown: against a moron, a total moron. How she picked him
is unbelievable, and I think it's a big factor. There's
something wrong with that guy. He's sick. He went into the
Michigan game the other day, got booed out. I went into the
Alabama game, the 120,000 people went crazy.
So Jason is Tim Walz a moron? Okay,
John C Dvorak: I have to at least give a little background
on walls going to the Michigan game, okay? Walls went to the
Michigan game and he was representing for for the other
team, yeah, for the wrong team, for the Minnesota team, yes, and
University of Minnesota gophers, yeah? So they booed him. Of
course they did Yes, yes. And of course he flipped somebody off,
which was probably bad for him, yeah. And meanwhile, Trump's
going into a game where he's neutral, so they both sides
cheered him. I mean, this is specious, just to mention it, I
just like that Casey.
Adam Curry: Hunt says this, the
Unknown: 120,000 people went crazy. So
Jason, is Tim Walz a moron?
Adam Curry: I mean, that's a great question. I think I found
the great question that is great.
John C Dvorak: That's a good way. That's a good question. Two
Unknown: things can be true at the same time. Here again, the
Tim Walz that we see on the campaign trail as he's bouncing
around and dancing and pointing to Kamala Harris and looking
kind of goofy is not the Tim walls that shows up in debates.
In case, I will tell you, I've watched more debate footage of
Tim Walz that anyone should ever be forced to do. But what he's
going to have an issue is, how does he defend his record? How
does he defend Kamala Harris's record? And be honest, he has to
defend Joe Biden's record as well.
Adam Curry: So then he actually said something quite
intelligent, which we've been saying here for the past 30
minutes. Well,
Unknown: it's not a debate. Let's just be candid. None of
these are sorry, this is Doug Jones debates in the traditional
sense of the work. They're just a series of answers, and you're
going to answer what you want to do. You know, look, I think Tim
walls needs to be Tim walls talk about what they're going to do
for America and the hope and the joy that Tim Walz brings. I talk
about my my old football team that walked out on that stage at
the DNC. That was a moment, folks, I got to tell you, folks,
that moment spoke to a lot of people across this country.
Yeah, okay.
Adam Curry: Are we done with the debates? Because I have a very
important series of clips here that we need to discuss because
all of the important
John C Dvorak: series, I think there's one more clip. It's
probably ancillary.
Adam Curry: Well, is it important?
John C Dvorak: I have no idea what's is the just
Adam Curry: throwing stuff out there. No,
John C Dvorak: I have clips. I don't put these clips on this
list for no good reason. All right,
Adam Curry: well, you said it's ancillary. Here we go. Debate
wrap. NTD, yeah,
Unknown: I guess that must be it. Senator. JD, Vance and
Governor Tim Walz each praising their own debate performance as
they hit the campaign trail today, Vance defends his answer
to a question on the 2020 election, and walls touts a
tougher stance on China entities. Iris Chow has more
from Martin, Michigan where Vance is holding a campaign
event, holding two
campaign events in the key battleground state of Michigan
today, Senator J D, Vance praised his own debate
performance last night, saying that it went well and that he
felt bad for governor. Tim Walz, I thought it went pretty well.
I got to be honest, I feel a little bad for Governor Walz,
and the reason I feel bad for him is because he has to defend
the indefensible. But
just hours after the debate, the Harris campaign launched a new
ad highlighting Vance's answer to whether Trump lost the 2020
election. Did
he lose the 2020 election? Tim, I'm focused on the future. That
is a damning non answer.
Vance was again asked about it today, where he said he's
focused on the upcoming election, and we'll keep talking
about election integrity.
Why didn't you answer the question last night during the
debate about who won the 2020, presidential election? We're
going to talk about election integrity, because I believe
that every vote ought to count, but only the legally cast votes.
Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walz today was campaigning in
Pennsylvania. Anybody
watched the debate last night? Not bad for a football coach. We
had a simple but spirited debate,
and after seeing last night that he misspoke about having shot
during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, Walz told reporters
today, yeah,
look, I
have my dates wrong. I was in Hong Kong. I will tell you this,
Xi Jinping is not someone you should look up to. Xi Jinping is
not someone who you should say does a good job on things as
Donald Trump has said about covid, the
Adam Curry: biggest show on earth, ladies and gentlemen,
we're
John C Dvorak: I grab one last comment. I'm gonna ask you this.
Why did was Vance chosen?
Adam Curry: Why was he chosen? Who? Who?
John C Dvorak: Who pushed Vance? Why did Trump choose Vance?
Because I didn't know this completely. I think I kind of
knew it. We may have talked about it, but it turned out that
we had, I
Adam Curry: thought it was Peter Thiel and the the PayPal Mafia,
who pushed who pushed
John C Dvorak: him? No, it was Donald Trump Jr.
Adam Curry: Oh, you're right. I'm sorry, you're right. He he
was. You're absolutely right. But Donald Trump Jr is also
hanging out with the PayPal Mafia for their Yes,
John C Dvorak: where Donald Trump Jr is good friends with
Vance that became good friends. Bearded buddies. No bearded
buddies. There's your show bearded buddies. And so there's
a show title. And he he was on Hannity after the fact that, he
started explaining how this worked, because he says, Now, I
don't think so. I don't know about that guy. You know, he
hated me when he first started off, and, you know, he's
different now. And he pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed his
dad to pick Vance and he So Donald Trump Jr's not the big
dummy everybody thinks he is. He's a has some
Adam Curry: influence. He has influence. It was worth
John C Dvorak: noting that Donald Trump Jr is not a slouch,
no,
Adam Curry: but he's. Running a shit coin. So we'll have to see
how that
John C Dvorak: goes. Slouch Well, it's
Adam Curry: bad form. Very bad form. All of these people,
probably not Trump, but you never know. Must be shaken in
their boots, because, as was teased by lawyer of the show,
our constitutional lawyer, Rob who did not go to school with
him, but knows him very well. Tony Busby. Tony Busby, the
lawyer from Houston, Yep, yeah, I've
John C Dvorak: got I'm this is good, yeah, I'm
Adam Curry: glad you did this. Here's the background, or ABC
new and
Unknown: disturbing accusations against Sean Diddy Combs, a
Texas attorney tonight, says he now represents 120 alleged
victims, men and women whose allegations span more than 30
years. The accounts of the alleged victims have not been
fully vetted, but their accusations involve the kind of
drug fueled alleged sexual assault described in a dozen
civil lawsuits and the criminal case against combs. Combs has
pleaded not guilty to federal charges his attorney tonight
saying combs emphatically denies any claim that he sexually
abused anyone.
Adam Curry: All right, so that's a very, very, you're good
looking. David Muir, but that was a very short report about
what actually went down Tony Busby, must be said, is very
successful at what he does. Apparently, his house is
unbelievable. So he's, I'm just reporting. He is also good
friends with Donald Trump, which makes it a little bit more
interesting. I took a couple clips from his press conference,
and we start with with his his opening why he this is about,
the scope of this lawsuit and the ages and just how big this
is, and what's really going on with and it's not one, it's 120
lawsuits.
Unknown: As I said, our law firms have been retained by 120
individuals at this point to pursue cases in civil court
against Sean Diddy Combs. You should know, in this group, it
is evenly divided between males and females. There are 60 males
and 60 females who have joined us to pursue these claims as
plaintiffs. In this group, 62% identifies African American. 30%
are white, the remainder Hispanic or Asian. The victims
are from more than 25 states. Majority are from California,
New York, Georgia and Florida. And I want to focus on the ages
of these victims. We talk about the ages of the victims when the
conduct occurred, it's shocking. Our youngest victim at the time
of the occurrence is was nine years old. We have an individual
who was 14 years old. We have one who is 1525. Of the 120
individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at
the time of the acts complained of. Now,
Adam Curry: I've already seen a couple of trolls posting, no,
no, it is not what you think. Now,
Unknown: there's been a lot of reports that we're filing a
class action. This is not a class action. Class actions when
one or two people file a case on behalf of a group of people,
that's not this. These cases will be individual cases. Each
case will live and die on its own merit. These cases will be
filed individually, one plaintiff against whoever the
defendants were involved in the case. So
Adam Curry: it's not a class action. This guy's going all in.
He's doing each individual case after carefully vetting every
single one of them. And the time frame is vast. The
Unknown: time frame of the acts complained of is very wide. The
conduct at issue spans from the years 1991 all the way to this
year 2024 if you wonder why there are so many alleged
victims, that's your answer. We're talking about more than 25
years of this type of conduct now, although most of the
victims who have stepped forward were victimized after 2015 this
has been going on for a very long time.
Adam Curry: This is so good. This is, I mean, now we get into
it. And he later on, yes,
John C Dvorak: just to ask you this, you don't think this is
the October surprise.
Adam Curry: It depends, because he doesn't. The last clip that I
have in a moment is about who and his relationship to Trump.
Makes me think that this definitely could be for certain.
It is going to make a lot of people worried when you hear
these, these final two clips, and he goes into some graphic
detail, which I did not clip, about what happened to some of
some of these predominantly the children. You can just It's
everything you could imagine. But here is the clip about what
Acts and where they took place. The
Unknown: acts complained of in these cases that we're going to
file occurred prior. Primarily in New York, either Manhattan or
the Hamptons, or occurred in California, primarily in Los
Angeles, or in Florida, primarily in Miami. Most of
these events and incidents occurred at parties, typically
after parties, our album release parties, New Year's Eve parties,
Fourth of July parties, something they called a puppy
party, all white party, although several of these events occurred
at auditions, many times, especially young people, people
wanting to break into the industry were coerced into this
type of conduct in the promise of being made a star, or in the
promise of having Sean Combs listen to their tape, or even
let them read for Sean Combs. You should know that some of
this behavior occurred at well known venues in New York City.
Some of this behavior occurred at private residences the people
that we all know. Some of this behavior occurred at hotels that
we're all familiar with. You should know that more than 55%
of the victims filed reports. Reported this conduct to either
the authorities, that is the police, or to hospitals we're in
the process of collecting with our team assistance, medical
records, reports that were made to the authorities. And I've
already said that some of the individuals in this group did,
in fact, talk to the FBI, so
Adam Curry: interesting that we have some trolls saying, Oh no,
this is to take down Trump. But I think you're wrong. This guy
is friends with Trump. This is not to take down Trump being
John C Dvorak: just the opposite control. Think this way. Do they
ever listen to this show?
Adam Curry: No, I don't know what they're doing. They're on
drugs. Speaking of drugs, some of the drugs that took place
that were used here. So this is the final clip, and we will be
hearing a lot more from Tony Busby, I'm sure. Good name, by
the way, Tony Busby in the morning, everybody is he 100
That's a good name, Tony Busby. It's the buzz a 95 five Busby.
Busby in the morning. He's not naming names, but he will soon.
And, yeah,
John C Dvorak: this is the part that gets to me. Okay, well,
Adam Curry: the reason why is he says he's vetting. They're
vetting every single they can't just come out and make
allegations without I think this is
John C Dvorak: a still, because no one's ever done that in their
life. Okay, well, listen
Adam Curry: to the last clip, and then, then, then we'll I'm
happy to hear your opinion.
Unknown: Many of you came here thinking or hoping, or perhaps,
uh, believing, that I may start naming names, that day will
come, but it won't be today. The day will come when we will name
names other than Sean Combs. And there's a lot of names. It's a
long list already, and of course, I already know who some
of these individuals are, but because the nature of this case,
we're going to make damn sure, damn sure that we're right
before we do that, but the names that we're going to name
assuming that our investigators confirm and corroborate what
we've been told her names that will shock you. These are
individual cases. There are indeed other perpetrators
involved. They will be revealed when that particular individual
case is ready to be filed. They already know who they are. And
I'm talking here about not just the cowardly, but complicit
bystanders. That is those people that we know watched this
behavior occur and did nothing. I'm talking about the people
that participated, encouraged, egged it on. They know who they
are. I call them the facilitators of foul play,
willing participants in vile conduct. As we identify them,
each will be part of this case as defendants. These defendants
will not only include individuals, but would also
include corporate entities who ultimately profited off of this
culture and behavior. I'm looking at banks, pharmaceutical
companies, hotels. We know that many of these individuals were
paid cash. We know that that many of these individuals
involved whether they were the ones being assaulted and abused
or they're witnessing other people being assaulted and
abused and then paid and threatened and told to leave.
Typically pay 10 grand in cash and told to leave.
Adam Curry: We'll see how fast he can get some out. But the
whole press conference and he had three different
representatives from from abuse organizations. And his whole
pitch was, if you were involved, come forward now. Come forward
now, because we know who you are. And he was talking about
tranq being slipped into into drinks and people waking up the
next day, you know, with
John C Dvorak: Well, this is the, the one. Case that Gloria.
Gloria already is doing some woman who was tranqed and then
bound up and then raped by, supposedly, this alleged,
allegedly, yes, allegedly by Diddy and one of his, I guess,
one of his bodyguards, or some other guy, yeah, and so she's
suing, and this took place in my Degas some time ago. But all
reds, no slouch, no. And so this is, this is not going to turn
out well, but this is Rick has so much of the earmarks of the
Epstein material. Now, there is supposedly another thing,
another aspect of this. This guy, by the way, Busby was on
Jesse Walters show waters. Oh, he was on waters. He was on him
waters, for some reason, emphasize the fact that record
companies are also on this
Adam Curry: Clive Davis. Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, which
John C Dvorak: is not mentioned those clips you have allegedly,
definitely, allegedly, he
Adam Curry: didn't, well, he didn't mention Clive Davis, but
Clive Davis was the mentor. And if you've watched the Clive
Davis documentary on Netflix, you know, after his third third
wife, hello, I said, hello, hello. After his third wife. She
did after his third wife, he's like, I think I'm gay. I think I
like hanging out with the gay guys, and he was hanging out
with all the hip hop. This is not the gay stuff in hip hop,
particularly around Diddy and Bad Boy Records, is it's been
well known. It's like, and everyone's like, okay, whatever
the gay. But we didn't know about all this, or at least I
didn't, but it was, nobody did. Well, there's, there's been
some.
John C Dvorak: I mean, if you're in the business, or you're What
did these parties, or whatever the case, yeah, you knew them.
But nobody in the public, you know the our level of public?
Well,
Adam Curry: there was a YouTube show, and it was a real hip hop
show, and someone sent it to me. This is a while back. I have to
go and dig it out. And the the hip hopper, who was, who also
has their own YouTube they all got their own YouTube channels.
She was talking about what went on these Diddy parties and,
like, ah, then the and the mix of drugs that they were using
and and the baby, baby oil, and all this stuff. I mean this, but
that's, I mean, you can go back to Shirley Temple and then just
look at any of those old Shirley Temple movies. It is disgusting.
The sexualization of children in the movies in Hollywood was
rampant.
John C Dvorak: It's been going is it any different today? No,
Adam Curry: and talk to the kid from the Goonies kid. What's his
name? Who always, yeah, who always did the Michael Jackson
impersonation? He's always talking about it, yeah? He's a
John C Dvorak: number of child actors that are Corey Feldman.
Corey Feldman, Feldman, right? Yeah.
Adam Curry: And he implicates Charlie Sheen. There's all kinds
of stuff that's been going on, but when it gets to miners, and
I'm pretty sure that a lot, and it's there's going to be
politicians, there's going to be captains of industry, there's
going to be in here, and if it's an October surprise, well, he's
getting it started early. He's got a couple weeks, but he
better hurry up, otherwise it's no good.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what they're going to do, but it's
definitely a story worth following.
Unknown: I'm on it, yeah,
John C Dvorak: somebody needs to be on it. Yes, my beat.
Adam Curry: I'm on it. I'm on it.
John C Dvorak: Okay, well, what else? Well,
Adam Curry: I have other things. I was taking a break. I have,
you want to do anything here?
John C Dvorak: I have a couple. I have a kind of a respite.
Respite a thing in the middle. I got a ragovi thing I have to
play is we, by the way it's pronounced, we go, V what's
Adam Curry: respite is that A, is that something that you eat a
respite?
John C Dvorak: It's a thing in the middle. It's like the
entremont to cleanse your palate. It's a little palate
cleanser. Yes, exactly. Is this a wegovy ad? I had to play this
because there's an interesting element to this ad. Have you
Unknown: almost had trouble losing weight and keeping it off
same? Discover
the power of we go. It overweight,
we go, V shouldn't be used with semaglutide or GLP, one
medicines.
Adam Curry: Well, isn't isn't wegovy, GLP, isn't that? What it
John C Dvorak: is, it's semaglutide. Yeah, it is
semaglutide. And so they're telling you not to use it with
with itself, yeah,
Adam Curry: because you could OD on it. You can od if you get too
much semaglutide. It
John C Dvorak: should not be used with semaglutide, is what
they say. And it is cement semaglutide. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Oh, well, I
John C Dvorak: thought that was odd.
Adam Curry: Oh, boy, that cleansed my palate. Ooh, I need
a drink of water. And by the way,
John C Dvorak: I always pronounce the semi. Blue tide.
But they pronounce this semaglutide, which is
interesting myself. But yeah, sounds,
Adam Curry: sounds more 2.5 milligrams. I believe sounds
more medical that way. So magnetite, some magnetite. Yes,
a magnetite.
John C Dvorak: All right, that was like the ones that say, do
not use it if you're allergic to it. That's
Adam Curry: my favorite. Can I do a little Can I do a little
bit of big tech stuff?
John C Dvorak: But we have big tech stuff too. We
Adam Curry: got a little big tech stuff. The first one is
Marsha Blackburn. She's from Tennessee, isn't she? Marsha
Blackburn thinks she's from Tennessee.
John C Dvorak: I don't think she's from Tennessee. The
honorable Senator from Missouri, isn't she?
Adam Curry: She's one of those states she's looking up. She is
sounding the alarm on meta and Google. Yes,
Unknown: indeed, we have found out that it appears that what
they are doing is coordinating, and they're listening in on
phone conversations and pulling keywords. It's called doing a
keyword search and then selling that data to advertisers who
then, if you're talking about wanting something or going
somewhere, all of a sudden, you're going to see that ad that
pops up, it is a privacy invasion, and we have tried,
many times to pass a federal, federal online privacy
protection legislation. And John, as you know, these lawyers
and lobbyists in the millions, 10s of millions of dollars that
these platforms spend to fight against this is astounding. So
it's never gotten across the finish line. We've gotten close,
but we haven't been able to get it across, and until we're able
to establish a federally preemptive, national privacy
standard, you are not going to see us be able to reign in this
overreach and this data mining and these privacy invasions that
are carried forward by these big tech platforms every single day.
When you are online, you are the product.
Adam Curry: So that's a pretty big allegation that they're
listening to your phone calls.
John C Dvorak: We know they've been listening on those stupid
devices. Yes,
Adam Curry: yes, but I guess they just have, you know, if you
install the Facebook app or any app from Google, then in the EU
law, I'm sure you're just saying, Yeah, go ahead and
they're listening. And, you know,
John C Dvorak: I think you install anything, if you look at
the laundry list of giveaways you have to do, oh, you would.
They have access to your microphone, they have access to
your photos, they have access to your contact list. A lot of
these things, a lot of these products. There's no reason in
the world they should have access to any of this. But
they're they demand it, and you to run the product, you got to
say, okay, whatever.
Adam Curry: I have an early phone to stop this. I have an
early phone tip. Yes, I got a I got a new phone. A $63 it is the
reasonable, yes, it's the cat, as in Caterpillar. S 22 and I'll
tell you why I like this phone, because I I was on my phone too
much. I'm just, like, I'm on this phone this, you know, I've
got things alerts going off and on my graphene OS, you know,
just, there's just too much going on. Like, I want to have
something that gives me my email that is not Gmail. Of course I
want text messaging. And what else did I want? The my Bible
app. There you go. That's about it. That's all I wanted. But
what this phone is, is it? It's a flip phone, and it looks very
much like what was the one that had that weird operating system.
Now it's like, it's an industrial strength phone has a
big keyboard, almost like for grandma, but the screen, which
is probably three inches by two inches, it's a version of
Android, Android go. So you can kind of customize it with as
little as you want. And even if you put stuff on there, it's so
tiny, the screen and the pop up keyboard is so small that it's
pretty much useless. So you can customize a very minimal phone.
You don't install any of the Google products. T Mobile
immediately, just turning it on, popped up a whole Oh, install
these games yet. No T Mobile. So you rip all the T Mobile stuff
off, and it's a very affordable, very good phone, and it kind of
looks cool. It's people like, Oh, what's that? A flip phone?
Oh, that's, it's the new Flex, I'm told, and it's a good
product. Other than that's Android, but outside. That if
you just want a phone that does some small things that you need
and you don't need anything else, it's good to go. That's my
tip. You might want to look into one. John, you'd love it. I have
a good phone. Yeah, it's in the desk.
John C Dvorak: No, it's in a drawer downstairs.
Adam Curry: We move onwards to my favorite topic, which is AI,
we have an update on chatgpt, and OpenAI is going to
Unknown: start in the tech world, a look at the company
behind artificial intelligence chatbot, chatgpt,
that's right, Stuart, that company is open AI, and it's now
one of the world's most valuable startups. This after concluding
a fresh round of fundraising, which brought in $6.6 billion
from a number of big investors, including venture capital firm
Thrive capital, Japan's Softbank and Microsoft, name a few. This
was one of the largest ever funding rounds for a private
company. This means the AI darling is now valued at $157
billion on par with established, publicly listed companies like
Goldman, Sachs and Uber, that's almost twice as much as it was
worth at the beginning of the year. There are conditions to
this new round of financing though. Open Eye, open. AI has
demanded that investors not be allowed to put money into any of
its private competitors, like Elon Musk's ex AI, for instance,
and investors will be able to withdraw their money if the
company isn't fully converted to a for profit company within two
years.
Adam Curry: So I've been looking at what the what Wall Street
keeps calling the hyperscalers. This is an unbelievable
expenditure that's taking place for these data centers that
everyone thinks is going to be necessary for this artificial
intelligence boom that we're supposedly in. And, I mean, it's
amazing how, I mean, you talk about their, you know, the
there, I think there's six nuclear plants, small, medium
reactors, this, all this stuff is being planned. And you look
at the flow charts of all these companies, the picks and shovels
of this, and everybody's in on it, but I don't know if they're
going to have any customers, because I got this boots on the
ground for our producers about epic, epic, epic medical they
they're the largest electronic medical records vendor in the
industry, and so this is what Larry Ellison was talking about,
like, oh, and then the the you won't have to write a report. Me
able to write a report for you. And then it'll contact the
pharmacy, and then the pharmacy will will get your prescription,
everything's right, and then it poops out a report for the
insurance company. Check out the cost structure
Unknown: per
Adam Curry: per Okay. Cost Structure per user, $3,000 per
month, 61 cents per user, query, request. How can this be worth
it?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, you can get some minimum wage person to do
this work easily,
Unknown: easily.
Adam Curry: So this is our boots on the ground, producers, the
execs, are all giddy about it. And he says, meanwhile, since we
get
John C Dvorak: giddy about tech, techie stuff, if it's in around
their kind of business, and they can see, I've heard these
presentations and seen them where somebody can come up and
look at this, look at this, look at this. But the tradition,
traditionally in tech, the most appealing factor is the cost
reductions. Reduction. It's always reduction. It's gonna it
used to cost you this much in the outline, it very carefully.
This what it cost you to do this now with our product. And it's
not just half, usually half. It has to cut it way down to, like
a 10th as much. Yeah, and this is like more than, this is
almost always more than. I don't get what the appeal is. These
people are dumb. He
Adam Curry: says the execs are so giddy that has anything to do
with AI. He says, while they're waiting for this to be
implemented, we'll see how long that takes. Their doctors are
buried in this reporting stuff, and have started using just
chatgpt to write their patient notes, which is a complete
violation of HIPAA. You're actually just feeding the models
the information about your patience. This is, this is out
of control. This really, this is so stupid. But okay, it's
keeping Wall Street afloat. Everybody's happy, I guess. And
to drive the
John C Dvorak: point home, you're such a Debbie Downer.
Adam Curry: I am a Debbie Downer. I am I was watching a
another piece on, I think was, PBS, about the secret facility
in upstate New York. IBM is now working on the real quantum
computer. It's so groovy. The quantum computer is going to do
everything with their qubits. Qubits are going to make it all
happen. IBM lies, someone finally did it for you. John,
what is your test? The Dvorak Rorschach test of a good search
engine or something that will give you results that you
John C Dvorak: right. You asked the question, what is the best
weed whacker
Adam Curry: you buy? That is the question. And 99%
John C Dvorak: of the time, you get phony sites that own, you
know, companies that own the weed whacker, companies showing
you, here's the top 10 weed whackers, and theirs is always
number one, but they never mentioned that. It's all, it's
of scam. The whole thing's a scam. Well, let's
Adam Curry: listen to notebook LM, a deep dive on the best weed
whacker. All right, so
Douche: you're ready to tackle those overgrown weeds, huh? But
like, whoa, picking a weed whacker can feel like a mission
impossible sometimes, right?
Bag: It totally can. They're like a zillion options out
there. It's easy to get lost in the weeds trying to figure it
all out,
Douche: exactly. So diving deep into the world of weed whackers.
We're gonna figure out which brands are the real deal, not
just marketing hype. And luckily, we've
Adam Curry: got just marketing hype, John, it's for you. This
is for you an
Douche: expert here who can weed out the weaklings, so to speak.
Bag: I like what you did there. And yeah, there's definitely a
lot to consider beyond just the brand name, totally.
Douche: So let's say you're a landscaping Pro. You're out
there every day battling some seriously tough weeds. What are
the brands you rely on? Well, for pure,
Bag: you know, workhorse reliability you can't beat
still, like they're known for building these tanks. Basically,
their engines are something else, big pistons, heavy duty
crankshafts, not your average, you know, flimsy weed whacker.
Yeah, these
Douche: are the ones that can handle getting banged around a
bit, right? Exactly?
Bag: Landscapers swear by them. Especially the FS series. Those
are legendary. Now,
Adam Curry: the steel S, T, I, H, L, E, I
John C Dvorak: think. No, no, E,
Adam Curry: oh, the landscaper series, they're legendary. Do
you agree? Is this the best white weed wagger I don't
John C Dvorak: know. Well, I can't find it out by going on
the web, and they're just telling me something I'm sure is
done by some sort of a scammer. Okay,
Douche: so still's got the heavy duty category covered. But what
about someone like me? I've got a small yard, not exactly a
jungle out. This is
Bag: right. So you don't need a monster truck. You need
something a little more like nimble. That's where ego comes
in. They've really nailed the whole battery
Douche: powered thing. Ooh, battery powered. Tell me more
about
Bag: that. Okay, so they use these lithium ion batteries,
right? Oh, man, they pack a punch. Plenty of power for a
typical yard, but no gas, no fumes, and way lighter than
those gas guzzlers. That's
Douche: a game changer for real.
Adam Curry: I don't think we're ever going to get a conclusion
out of this, John, they are not solving the problem,
John C Dvorak: not at all. And it's possible that those
products are good. I mean, they may be good, but are they the
best? And there's no way finding out. There's no lab testing. All
of them, Consumer Reports that i Far as I know, haven't done
anything on weed whackers, and they probably will leave out
some of them, because they're not complete anymore in their
analysis of anything, they always leave something out.
Everybody does, and it's just hopeless. It is. I'll just be
now listen to these two jokers.
Adam Curry: Okay, speaking of jokers, we have big news. It
finally happened, there are a few smiles
Unknown: in world politics more earnest than Mark rutters, the
former Dutch Prime Minister has been well known for his affable
public persona, something that served him well for the last 14
years in the Netherlands. His next role may require a
different approach. On Tuesday, Rusta takes over as Secretary
General of NATO, which has been led by Norway Jens Stoltenberg
for the last 10 years, NATO might be the most successful
military alliance in history, but is facing challenges
possibly more fundamental than any other time their last 75
years. Finally,
Adam Curry: Jens Stoltenberg has handed over the reins to the soy
boy of the Netherlands, known as Mark Ritter, who used to be in
HR at, what's the, what's the big UK, Dutch firm that does
cosmetics and baby lotion,
John C Dvorak: I don't know.
Adam Curry: I mean, I do know, but I can't remember, Unilever.
Unilever. Oh, Unilever. He was one of the HR ladies at
Unilever. So he is now the Secretary General of NATO, and
I'm very happy because we get to make fun of how he talks. Good
afternoon.
Unknown: Good afternoon. Hello, and I'm glad to see all you were
here today. Yes, it's very good to have you here. Brussels. Hash
von. Of the largest international press corps in the
world. Yes, and I'm looking forward to be working with you.
All right. First, I want again to express my profound gratitude
to Jens Stoltenberg, thank you, Jens, for the tremendous job he
has done in the past 10 years. Fantastic few leaders of this
alliance faced a more challenging geopolitical
environment. Is good, but Jens steered us through difficult
times with a steady hand. Very steady hand. He played a big
part in making today's NATO stronger than ever, and he
leaves behind an enduring legacy,
Adam Curry: an enduring legacy, by the way, I think was a hold,
which is Albert Heijn. Big shopping concern doesn't matter.
He was with the HR lady. So here is the meat of his speech.
Surprise, surprise, the soy boy is all in on the military
industrial complex. I
Unknown: have three priorities, three, and sure we have the
capabilities to protect against any threat. Yes, the Russia
supports Ukraine in fighting back against Russian aggression,
aggression and addressing the growing global challenges to
Euro, Atlantic security like China first on our military
capabilities. Okay, NATO's core mission is to ensure our
collective deterrence and defense. No,
Adam Curry: no, our core mission is to spend money.
Unknown: Over the past decade, we have made tremendous progress
in ensuring we have the forces and capabilities to deter and
defend against any threat from any direction, Russia, but we
must go further, okay, and faster to meet the enormous
challenge ahead. Here we go. We need more, better Eclipse
forces. Yes, more robust transatlantic defense industry.
Oh yeah,
increased defense production. Money, money. Greater investment
in innovation. Ai secure supply chains. Yes, more money. Allies
are already stepping up with plans to require 1000s of air
defense and artillery systems, many hundreds of modern
aircraft, yeah, mostly fifth generation S, 35 as well as
substantial high end capabilities. What about the
money? But to truly match our capabilities with our needs, we
need significantly more defense spending money, and I will work
with allies to ensure that we invest enough in the right
areas, and that we shoulder the burden for our collective
defense equitably.
Adam Curry: Now I'm glad that everyone else is going to be
paying more money, more money for bombs and stuff and F 35
this great congratulations. NATO.
John C Dvorak: Well, the last thing Stoltenberg said when he
got out and left, he did a interview with that funny
sounding British, semi British sounding PBS, woman who's been
around forever. I can't think of her name offhand, but she has a
show. He sits down with her, and he talks about how, you know,
the main with the lane, one of the main things I wanted to get
get accomplished is get Ukraine into NATO. And the first thing
that this bonehead says he wants to make sure to get Ukraine into
NATO, yeah, of course, which is the reason that the Russians are
all upset, yes. And all you have to do is say no to that, no, no,
no, no, and that war would be over. But nobody wants to do
that.
Adam Curry: No, only Trump can't have debt, can't have debt.
Season of review, a little season of review, seasoning not
seasoning the season of review. What that was? Seasoning of
reveal, no, no, that's a new product I'm working on. This is
just that, but Tate be tasty. This is the season of reveal.
We'll remember the snowpocalypse. Oh, man, was it
now five years ago, four years ago, when people died all
throughout Texas. We were stuck in our home without electricity
for four days, I think, and the show deconstructed. This was a
scam. This was a scam by the energy producers, by ERCOT. It
was the old ERCOT is our central exchange, which is literally
like a stock exchange of trading energy units back and forth at
best price that it was Enron people, old Enron people didn't
John C Dvorak: people. You get a clue, you stay, stay with it
work before. Well,
Adam Curry: there's an expose, a those
Unknown: deadly blackouts that we remember and killed hundreds
of people during the 2021 winter storm may have been an inside
job. A new lawsuit alleges energy companies created an
artificial natural gas shortage. KXAN Tom Miller talked to the
Hill reporter, saw elbine about the other claims made in that
lawsuit.
246 people died in the 2021 winter storm. They were freezing
temperatures. There were blackouts. And now there's an
allegation from this pipeline. Analytics company that says this
was pre planned, and that's pretty startling.
Yeah,
so now we need to be careful when we talk about pre planned.
So what it comes down to is supply and demand. The
allegations are that in the weeks before the storm, and
particularly in the days before the storm, several dozen of
Texas's biggest oil and gas and pipeline companies started
restricting the supply of natural gas to their power plant
customers, effectively strangling them of the fuel they
needed to run the grid. And then, as the grid started to go
wobbly, and the power plants panicked, and the state
government panicked, and prices were allowed to rise basically
freely, then the gas companies, the allegation is, took that gas
that they had now had on hand, and they'd freed up by breaking
those contracts, and they sold it for a whole lot of money.
Adam Curry: Pretty much what we said this is exactly what
happened. They they left people out in the cold. And remember
the prices? Remember the prices were like $7,000 a kilowatt
hour, it was high. It was high. And so now, can we, can we get
any, can we claw back any of that money?
Unknown: Publicly? There was this defense that the grid was
not winterized, and the lawsuit says that that's actually pretty
misleading. Yeah,
so the head of circles Access Pipeline Company says a two inch
pipeline, two inch pipeline can freeze a 20 inch pipeline in a
state that gets freezes, not infrequently. That's a little
bit more suspicious. The defendants
are these gas companies, pipeline companies,
banks. What
are they saying
they were in court to say, we need to throw this case out, and
at this stage in the game, what that looks like is you
essentially say, let's say everything you're saying is
true. We did the crime of the century. It doesn't matter
because we're in the wrong jurisdiction, or you're wrong on
some key point of law, and in this case, the reason that
they're saying that plaintiffs are wrong is, you'll remember,
people were pretty mad just after winter storm Yuri, and the
legislature heard how mad you were, and it created a state
payment plan to pay off that huge debt, and they created a
procedure to go through to make sure that that money was to make
sure that those bills were fair. And so the defendants
essentially said, look, the time to bring this up was then, it's
too late now.
Adam Curry: Scam, massive scam. No one will go to jail.
Nothing's gonna happen. This is on KXAN, Austin. No one cares
about them.
John C Dvorak: Little local station. Yeah, we've gone
through it here, yes, when Gray Davis was the governor, well,
you went through all. We have to have gray outs, brown house
blackouts. Remember, we
Adam Curry: had the phone calls of Enron guys, yeah, cut the
electricity. Cut it, cut it. Black them out, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
John C Dvorak: They got the only thing that happened. They did
end up recalling the guy in Schwarzenegger became the
governor. Yeah, of course, he didn't do much, but it was at
least something. I've
Adam Curry: pushed all donations back to the end of the show,
John, you probably noticed, since it's going to be long, I
figured we'd do everything in one go, because we got a lot of
Commodores.
John C Dvorak: Okay, you just it's gonna take about a half an
hour to go through all the donations. That's
Adam Curry: why I figured, you know, we get all the news out of
the way, and then we thank everybody. You know, it's a
happy day.
John C Dvorak: Hello. No, that's not what I was expecting.
Really. You are. Since you want to do that, I don't really have
a problem. I have a three by three that was sent in, and now
Unknown: it's time for three by three. Experiment five, JCD,
comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC, the never ending three
by three.
Adam Curry: I'm sorry. I guess I should have cleared it with you.
I figured you'd be okay with that. I just looked at the list.
I'm like, we should just should just do this all at the
John C Dvorak: end. I thought when it was long, that's when
you why we wanted to break it up. No, no.
Adam Curry: But this is, this is too long because it's all top
heavy.
Unknown: So
John C Dvorak: both sides are just a lot of people. But we're
going to talk about the Iranian missile barrage, which is like,
I think we may have predicted it was not going to amount to much.
We
Adam Curry: I think we literally said fireworks.
John C Dvorak: And here we go with our reporting. I, you know,
I'm kind of moving CBS up on this, because I think that
they've lost their their mechanic. Well, no, it's like we
always thought him as CIA, but after watching the debate and
some of these lunatics that are there at CBS, I don't know if
the CIA is really doing much there.
Unknown: So let's start with them from the White House
Situation Room, President Biden and vice president Harris
monitored Iran's attack on Israel with their national
security team tonight, the President says Iran failed its
mission.
The attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective, and
this is testament to Israeli military capability and US
military.
And he vowed to help Israel defend itself.
Make no mistake, the United States is fully. Fully, fully
supportive of Israel. The
US has more than 40,000 troops and aircraft squadrons spread
across the Middle East, along with 12 warships in the region.
Another one is on its way today, two of the Navy destroyers fired
roughly a dozen interceptors against Iranian missiles. We
will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to
defend us forces and interests against Iran and Iran backed
terrorists, and we will continue to work with our allies and
partners to disrupt Iran's aggressive behavior and hold
them accountable. Former
President Trump claimed Biden and Harris are leading the us to
the brink of a wider war.
Iran has been exporting terror all over the world, and it's
been just unraveling. The whole Middle East has been unraveling.
But of course, the whole world has been unraveling since we
left office.
Tonight, the White House insists Iran will face, quote, severe
consequences for that missile attack. President Biden said
what those are remains to be seen. He has not spoken to
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu since the strike, but says he
plans to what
Adam Curry: I miss in that report from CBS, they didn't use
the phrase ballistic missiles.
John C Dvorak: I heard that some people use ICBMs, which I
thought was interesting, which
Adam Curry: I don't know if they were. They're not
intercontinental ballistic missiles. Are they? Well, it's
intercontinental. Was it between continents? Oh, it's
John C Dvorak: on No, it wasn't. Well, it's on the same
continent. Well, the I have to mention the one thing, the you
have to before I get to the next two clips. This is the only the
one guy was, you know, they sent out 200 missiles, and one guy's
dead. And here's the irony. Read this. This is the, oh, is this
the Palestinian? Yeah, Israel ran iron, dead guy, PBS, Israel.
Uh, hold on, Israel says ran, but means Iran.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, I got it. I saw the video of this. Another
Unknown: Gazan laid to rest today. 38 year old, Sami al
asali, a resident of the occupied West Bank, and the only
person known killed by Iran's massive missile attack.
Adam Curry: Did you see the video of that? No, oh, so it's,
it's like, it's like a security camera footage on the building,
and you see the guy, why he's the only guy on the street, and
this massive, you know, the thrust part, just, you know,
this shell from this ballistic missile falls right on top of
him, and he just, like, chops him in half.
John C Dvorak: It's like, glad I didn't see
Adam Curry: it. It's the worst day record video of the year.
Imagine just walking out by yourself and, boom, this thing
falls right on your head. It was unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: Well, he's the only guy, so let's go with ABC.
Unknown: We know the US was actively involved in
intercepting these missiles
today, absolutely helping Israel defend itself. They had two
destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean. They launched
missiles to intercept 12 of those Iranian missiles. We're
not sure how many were intercepted, but certainly some
of them, you know, you on those ships. It's like a bullet
hitting a bullet, a missile hitting a missile to protect
Israel. Extraordinary precision involved. In the meantime,
Martha, I know you've been talking with your sources today.
How concerned is the US of the potential of a wider regional
war here, and could Israel now vowing to retaliate? Could
Israel target Iran's nuclear sites? Well,
at this point, David, My sources tell me they don't really know
what Israel is going to do, they're waiting. They will
probably get some sort of heads up before they respond, but they
are worried about how broad a response. I don't think they're
concerned at this point that they will hit nuclear sites, but
it is certainly possible. But given the fact that was not
major damage, they're hoping that Israel tamps it down.
Adam Curry: Isn't this just exactly the same as the last
time? Yeah, just, oh, shoot some rockets. Okay, all
John C Dvorak: that's missing from these reports is the and
somebody sent me a number of clips. I didn't use any of them,
but I'll mention a lot of clips saying, Well, you know, Iran is
one week away from a nuclear bomb. Didn't
Adam Curry: they also have that in the debate, didn't enormous.
There was a, I think, in the debate, there was a one or two
weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, because we've
John C Dvorak: been hearing for at least, I don't know how far
back this goes. Maybe,
Adam Curry: I don't know, forever, forever, at least Obama
years, definitely.
John C Dvorak: All right, so let's finish with the NBC, our
Comcast operation. President
Unknown: Biden tonight declaring Iran's major assault on Israel a
failure.
The attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective. The
President crediting the US is extensive planning, anticipating
today's attack and working alongside its close ally,
Israel.
Make no mistake. Right, the United States is fully, fully,
fully supportive of Israel.
Earlier President Biden with Vice President Harris monitoring
the attack alongside their national security team from the
Situation Room, The White House says Iran did not give any
advance notice of today's missile barrage. That comes as
the Biden administration's months long effort to prevent a
larger war in the Middle East is now facing its toughest test
yet. The president tonight saying it remains to be seen
with the consequences for Iran will be the Vice President also
condemning the Iranian attack. Iran
is a debilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East, and today's
attack on Brazil only further demonstrates that fact, still,
former
President Trump, campaigning in Wisconsin, argues, on the
administration's watch, the world is spiraling out of
control.
Adam Curry: He said some Trump said something else, which I
thought was rather interesting, which kind of fits into our
general theory that many of the main guys in Iran may already be
dead, that there's been this systematic elimination of
surgical precision, either through bombs or missiles
through the window or pagers exploding. And here's what Trump
said, this
Unknown: has really been bad, but they have to finish that
process. However, it turns out, they have to finish the process.
This is a little bit like two kids fighting in the school you
are sometimes you have to just sort of let it go a little bit,
and we'll see what happens. That's
Adam Curry: a far cry from the brink of destruction. You
John C Dvorak: Yeah, yeah, this whole thing is suspicious, and
until I see any evidence to the contrary, even though you're
always going out on a limb when you say, well, this whole
thing's theater and bullcrap, which is what we've said, yes,
when you send 200 missiles over and you can't kill anybody but
some poor, hapless Palestinian atmosphere walking home in the
West Bank. It didn't
Adam Curry: even get hit by the by the by the warhead. It was
hit by the empty shell just dropped on him.
John C Dvorak: It's like, yeah, no, no, this doesn't make any
sense at all. If you targeted 200 missiles, all on, all on
your take and, like they said, a bullet, a bullet. Come on. This
is, this is harkens back to the old days of the Scud. Remember
the Scud missile attacks? The
Adam Curry: Scud stud? Where's he? We need him again. Yeah, the
Scuds. Yeah, I was good. Did they still use those Scuds? Did
we offload those on Ukraine? Guys have been upgraded. Did we
send them to Ukraine? You have some Scuds? Well, they
John C Dvorak: weren't our it was a Russian missile. Was the
Scud? Oh,
Adam Curry: that's right, we had the Patriots against the Scud.
You're the Patriots, which are useless too. Did you see
Netanyahu talk to the people of Iran? Yeah, I did. What'd you
think?
John C Dvorak: Well, he's speaking in English. He's
talking to us. But make some point or other. Well, the point
I got from
Adam Curry: him was regime change. Yeah, that's
John C Dvorak: what it was all about. The whole speech was
about, you know, we're gonna, this will be final blow over.
You'll get rid of these guys. We
Adam Curry: love you. No, he was and we love you guys. We love
you guys. We love you Iran. We love you guys. We want to be
friends with you. We'll be peaceful and prosperous. It's
true. I think he's, he's, he's trying to get, you know, trying
to trigger the the next Green Revolution, or whatever it is
not that he's going to trigger it with that. Color revolution
is the word you're looking for, but it was green specifically in
Iran. I think, I think their color was green.
John C Dvorak: I don't remember the color. I thought it was
something else, but, yeah, that would be nice. Whether you can
pull that off or not. I'm not sure. Did you hear that they're
talking about? Did you hear something? Did you hear ju i
have this. I don't have a clip here. I should bring it on. On
Sunday, Julian Assange is soliloquy about how they
Adam Curry: I saw a little bit of it, a little bit of it. Oh, I
John C Dvorak: have the whole thing. It's like it was hard to
get because it keeps being pulled. But I think it's bull
crap.
Unknown: Tell me, well, he's
John C Dvorak: talking about the CIA mainly Pompeo and Barr had a
scheme to have him killed when he was in the UK Ecuadorian
Embassy. And the more I think about it, it's like if they had
a scheme to kill him, he
Adam Curry: would have been dead. He would be dead.
John C Dvorak: I don't think it's this. I don't think the CIA
I'm not a member. I'll get paid by them, and I'll get a check. I
think we get checks occasionally for the show,
Adam Curry: but we need more. We'll take cash. We need more.
You can use stripe. It's all good.
John C Dvorak: Stripe works is the I just don't think they're
in the I just, I think the there was maybe a. Scenario threat
that was given to him to scare him, maybe, but I just don't
think they're in the business of killing journalists left and
right under any circumstance, especially this guy who is a
valuable asset. And like you said, and I would agree, they
could have taken him out because he was going on the balcony
every day and giving speeches. They could have been taken up by
a sniper 600 yards away. They would never caught him. Yeah,
it's a million things that could have happened, but no.
Adam Curry: 2009 was the Iranian green. Green movement.
John C Dvorak: It was green, okay? It
Adam Curry: was green. It was green. Didn't didn't work too
well. The Green Movement,
John C Dvorak: no, because we, they weren't backed up by Obama
pulled a plug. That's right, he didn't do it right
Adam Curry: now, the Netanyahu thinking that when I and it's
like three minutes, and we don't have to play it, obviously. But
when I was listening to him, like, you know, this sounds like
there's, you know, he's just saying, Oh, it's the it's the
moolahs, it's those guys. Your leadership is no good bastards.
Yeah, take them out. And I'm, you know, I we need to hear from
our dude named Muhammad.
John C Dvorak: Have you seen? Well, yeah, a lot of dudes named
Mohammed. Did you see the the clips that are going around
about the the in in Iran, the latest kind of tick tock thing
going on? No. Oh, because so this, this, I didn't retweet it.
I don't think I might have, but it's about four minutes of just
one guy after another knocking turbans off the heads of all
these moolahs. What? Yeah, teenage punks. That seems like a
bad idea. Well, they're doing it by the hundreds because they
just showed it over and over, one after another. These kids,
these kids would go by on a bicycle, knock the hat off. Oh,
there another kid. There's
Adam Curry: there's your next Green Revolution. It's the hat
tipping revolution.
John C Dvorak: They are knocking hats off of these guys, left and
right. And there's always somebody filming it. And there
is, like, we're talking about 10s, there could be hundreds of
these guys getting their hands on. They get all angry and shake
their face. But all these, by the way, these these moles are
wearing these long garbs, and these kids are wearing jeans, so
the kids run away. You can't get up up to speed because of their
outfits. I'm
Adam Curry: telling you this. Do they have a name for it? There
must be some kind of, they've got to have a name for this, for
this action.
John C Dvorak: I don't know what to name for it. There has to be,
you're right, but it's, it seems to be some sort of a trend. Let
Adam Curry: me see knocking turbans off in Iran. Let's see
turban tossing. There it is. Yes, sure, yes. That's
John C Dvorak: what it's called, turban tossing. Turban
Adam Curry: tossing. We have a revolution. It's the turbine
tossing revolution. I love it. That could be it You humiliate
them. You humiliate them by knocking by tossing their
turbans off, and then we'll unseat them. Yeah.
John C Dvorak: Well, anything's positive. Have
Adam Curry: you been following the thorium stuff, thorium
reactors and stuff, thorium reactors,
John C Dvorak: yeah, what about Yeah, they've
Adam Curry: been around for a while. Do they work? Is that for
real? Yeah, they
John C Dvorak: work fine. They work good. They work well, I'm
sorry, yeah,
Adam Curry: I think that's what gates is doing. I think he's
doing these thorium reactors.
John C Dvorak: I think he's doing a liquid, liquid salt
stuff wasn't
Adam Curry: thorium salt. I think isn't that the No, thorium
is not
John C Dvorak: salt. I mean, it may be using the salt in the
thorium reactor, but it's not no thorium. I used to have thorium
at the lab in when I was working at Union oil, uh huh. And there
was always a jar of thorium. It was surrounded by what is it
used for? It's used for some tests that I never did. And
always had this surrounded by lead, and it was in the shelf
with all the other dangerous products. And it was always
interesting, if you had a Geiger counter, so you could take the
top off and to get the Geiger counter reading, and wow, stuff
is
Adam Curry: looking at all these, at all these different
companies that are that are building thorium reactors. And,
you know, the cost is almost zero, and it takes, like, 18
months to put want to get a reactor set up. This could
change a lot of stuff.
John C Dvorak: Well, there is a move, I think, make it a move
toward back to nuclear. Oh, and I think molten salt, thorium,
these sorts of things that are going to be in play. I
Adam Curry: mean, listen to this great British nuclear unveils
SMR shortlist, Wyoming. Bill Gates moves ahead with nuclear
project aimed at revolutionizing power generation project. Pele
microreactor breaks ground us closes one point $52 billion
loan to resurrect Michigan nuclear plant. It's everywhere,
and it's all for AI, of course, for the data centers. Well,
John C Dvorak: I think that's the front. It must be a front.
It's like you say, well, we're going to have to have this
because, I mean, people push back on nuclear, and you create
this front of AI. And. And then AI flops. I say, well, we got to
turn this loose to the public. Gets this energy now, and boom,
you got your energy prices dropping back down to where this
should be,
Adam Curry: which, well, it'd be. It would go really low.
John C Dvorak: Let's hope so. Yeah.
Adam Curry: I mean, you could change the world this. You could
actually change not with this solar and wind stuff, but this
thorium. I mean, it's, you know, one little marble sized ball of
thorium would be enough for for you all your energy needs for
the rest of your life. Well, that's the sales pitch. That's
the pitch.
John C Dvorak: That's a good one. Yeah,
Adam Curry: um, Austria. Following on Germany, following
on France, following on arguably the United States, the far
right, the far right,
Unknown: some branding, anti Nazi banners, dozens of
protesters gathered outside the Vienna Parliament's building
after Sunday's general election, which saw the far right Freedom
Party secure an unprecedented victory.
That means social cuts for Austria. That means lower
salaries. That means a catastrophe, especially for
migrants and for the women who are demonstrating in favor of
abortion. Again, we started demonstrating 40 years ago, and
I can't do it anymore. It
is definitely a shift to the right in Austria and throughout
Europe, and that we are losing our free country and our free
life. We want to live a communal life, be united and live
peacefully.
In Austria, some have welcomed the FPOs when I expected
the FPO to come first one day, but not today. Yes, it
definitely a good thing.
Taking the reins of the party in 2021 Herbert kikel has tapped
into concerns about immigration in Austria and has capitalized
on anger at the government's response to the covid pandemic.
His party is critical of Islam, and it's pushing for tougher
laws on asylum seekers. Kikkel is also against giving aid to
Ukraine. He wants sanctions against Russia to be lifted,
arguing that they harm Austria more than Moscow, only the
conservative Austrian People's Party, the OVP, has offered any
suggestion it could work with the FPO, but has insisted it is
unwilling to do so with Kiko. If kikl fails to ally with another
party, this could end the FPOs aspirations to govern and enable
a coalition of more moderate parties. It's
Adam Curry: interesting how this has happened in every country in
Europe, the Netherlands, France, Germany, they, you know, the
people vote, and they say, well, it's far right. The people vote
for a party that's against replacement migration, which is
the plan they're against, you know, climate change nonsense
they're against, you know, the all of this stuff, and then the
great, wonderful democracy, the parliamentary system, they all
gang up and go, nah, now we're not going to do a coalition with
you. Pound sand. What the people want?
John C Dvorak: Yes, this seems to be a theme, and I don't
understand it, but how people put up with it. But it turns
out, somebody discovered that they put up with it, so let's
keep doing it. Yeah,
Adam Curry: and if you listen to this, support this report about
a white supremacist gang who were arrested, you know, there's
really no white supremacy going on with this gang. They would do
any legal stuff, but it's billed as white supremacists. The LAPD,
Unknown: FBI, DEA and other law enforcement agencies announced
today that they've taken down dozens of members of the
notorious white supremacist gang the pecker woods. The gang is
based out of the San Fernando Valley. If I
Adam Curry: was going to start a white supremacist gang, I don't
think the pecker Woods would be my name the first would you get
this report? ABC, LA, the pecker woods. Nine
Unknown: federal arrest warrants were served this morning. 68
members of the gang were indicted on charges ranging from
gun violations to identity theft.
It appears, however, that the business of hate was not enough
for them. Their criminal activity took on different
forms.
John C Dvorak: What is the business of hate? Exactly, the
business? Is there a business model or there you have to pay
taxes? I mean, what? What is the business of hate. It's
Adam Curry: pecker Woods LLC. We're in the business of hate.
How much hate would you like for me today
Unknown: that the business of hate was not enough for them.
Their criminal activity took on different forms, driven by
greed, as alleged today, they engaged in drug distribution,
multiple fraud schemes and firearms offenses,
42 of the 68 gang members indicted are now in custody. The
remaining 26 are fugitives. The peckerwoods, according to
federal law enforcement, have aligned themselves with the
Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia prison gangs. How
Adam Curry: can you be white supremacist if you. Working with
Mexicans
John C Dvorak: Mexican Mafia doesn't make sense.
Adam Curry: Imagine the hand, the secret handshake the
peckerwoods have. What
Unknown: we wanted to do through this investigation was
neutralizes threat as quickly as possible. So as I said, we're
not going to wait around for a tragedy to occur. We're going to
take action right away. And in order to do that, we use every
tool in our federal toolbox to address that
Adam Curry: in our toolbox. This is such nice
John C Dvorak: handshake involves a hot dog in some funny
way.
Adam Curry: You got anything else you want to get off your
chest before we induct. Some comment, I
John C Dvorak: have a couple, just two quickies. The quickie.
Quickie is Mayor Adams update? Ah, yes,
Unknown: the mayor guy. Federal
prosecutors say they could bring additional charges against Mayor
Eric Adams and indict others. Adams appeared in court today
after his Friday arraignment. According to the indictment, the
mayor accepted about $100,000 worth of free or discounted
goods and services. Prosecutors say those included international
flights, hotel stays, meals and entertainment from foreign
interests. The allegations spanned nearly a decade. Adams
attorney requested a march trial date, an important ballot
deadline for next June's mayoral election. Assistant U S attorney
Hagan Scott, and told Judge Dale ho that prosecutors will likely
seek a superseding indictment against the mayor Scott, and
also indicated that additional defendants could be charged.
Adams has pleaded not guilty.
Adam Curry: Would you send me the email that this Jumanji guy
would be the replacement mayor? Yes,
John C Dvorak: who was the real lefty?
Adam Curry: It was like a commie, like a commie, yeah,
basically a communist. Oh, man, New York, they're so screwed.
John C Dvorak: I'd have to say yes. So I do have to, I just the
final clips. Since we're gonna go into a long thing, it's gonna
take forever. I have to play this because this just started
this week, and it was my, one of my reasons for dropping CBS as
the CIA front, oh, a new show began this week called CB
because to compete with Kathy, I guess, and her husband, or Kathy
Lee, whoever Her name is, Kathy Kathy Lee, Dard Shani or, I
don't remember her name, but the CBS mornings, the mornings, you
know, the competitive morning show, third hour,
Adam Curry: oh yes, Kathy Lee is in the third hour of the of
John C Dvorak: the of the third hour is it goes up against hoda,
hoda and Jenny, whatever their names, I can't keep it. But the
drinkers,
Adam Curry: the drinkers, the drinkers, drinkers, yes,
John C Dvorak: I have two clips just to show you that these
people, they found two people. One of them was sweet. I mean,
she seems okay. What is her name? She's Andrea Adriana Diaz,
she's she's nice, but she's like, I don't know. She's got
any brains, and Tony dokapol, this other guy who's like, they
just, CBS just fired guys that fired a whole bunch of people
because of Paramount's new ownership, right? Yeah, they
fired like Jeff Glor, who's a terrific character. He should
have stayed with CBS. No, they fire him, and they're using Tony
and these two people, they like they let's put two people in
front of the public that really don't know a lot about anything.
Yeah, excellent. So let's listen to this. Here they have. They're
going to discuss, how about air foils, because neither one of
them can understand how airplanes work.
Unknown: Okay? So you,
every day about 45,000 planes take off and stay up there in
the air. By magic, it would seem. Do you know how they stay
up there? I sure don't. But it turns out scientists not sure
either. Tony, you've been talking about this frickin must.
Do you know that we don't know how planes fly. I've been
talking about this literally since my head was low enough to
not hit it on the table right here. I've been since as a
child. This is wondrous and amazing, but carry on. Okay,
well, I can't hear this anymore, so we brought in Samantha Kelly,
who was an expert in all things aerospace. Emily, I'm so sorry.
I don't know where Samantha came. Yeah, but you are here to
clear things up for Tony, or maybe not
clear things up. Yes, well, I will say flight is beautifully
complex, and there is no one single theory that can explain
it perfectly, all at once, but there are two that give you most
of the idea, but there's still a mystery about one of them. So
the first part of the explainers, we have two. The
first one is Bernoulli principle. And Bernoulli
principle is something that tells you about what what
happens when air moves fast? Okay? Because when you have a
wing, because of the airfoil and the weights moving through the
air, you have fast moving air that goes over the wing. What
is airfoil? Oh, my
Adam Curry: God, this they should make them drink. This is
no good.
John C Dvorak: And they bring. This expert who caught talks
about bernoullis. She's talking about Bernoulli. Bernoulli.
Adam Curry: He's, like, it's a sauce, like, we have the
wonderful new Bernoulli sauce on our she curious.
John C Dvorak: At the end of this, this a long exposition.
These people go, Oh, really. And the whole thing goes on, and she
finally pronounces Bernoulli correctly at
Adam Curry: the end. What is an airfoil. I don't know. I don't
understand how airplane had to cut it
John C Dvorak: off there, because it was like, Okay, well,
there you go. You don't even know what an airfoil is. Why are
you getting paid a ton of money to do a morning show? Now I have
one other clip from the same show. This is for this was
introduced this week on Monday, and it turns out that this Tony
guy has really got some issues, some family issues, that come
out in this kind of a just a dumb discussion. And all of a
sudden we hear we hear him start to complain about his dad. Here
we go. Magic.
Unknown: You have the biggest heart of anybody. I don't know
if you will ever understand how much you impacted my life. Wow.
I love this story all telling you. So here is my take away
from that there is both healing and joy from acknowledging those
in our lives who were there for us and showed up during our
darkest time. So I pose to the both of you, is there somebody
in your life that you would like to go back and thank
I would think my kindergarten teacher, Mr. Roca. I loved her.
I loved her like family. She was call me bambina, which is like,
I think, little girl. What does it mean? Patty, bambina, little
girl in Italian. So I just he was, made me feel so special.
And I misunderstood the assignment. I was going to say
my dad, who I went back, not to thank but to say, no thanks.
Thanks for nothing. Why did you walk away? But it was actually
well worth it. I also think a lot of people are alienated from
family members, reconnecting, finding what you missed, and
then getting what you need to go forward is also really
important. David Becknell, I love your stories. I will get
the assignment right next time, and I'll see you next on the
following Monday. Best segment. Title knows America. You can
catch David's full story on our CBS morning's YouTube channel.
Adam Curry: What was that
John C Dvorak: you tell me I miss I misunderstood the
assignment. I was going to sit here and rage about my dad who
left me when I was a kid. Oh no, and I wanted to thank him for
doing it. What are? What is wrong with these people at CBS?
Adam Curry: Well, you, you nailed it. It got taken over by
Apollo. Apollo purchased paramount. Apollo is Larry
Ellison's kid, and they immediately cut everything and
threw out the good people. And they bring in what they think is
entertainment, and they clearly need some
Unknown: what's an airfoil.
I'm gonna show my spoon by donation to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Adam Curry: Yeah. What are you drinking? I heard you crack one
Topo. Chico. Ah, you'll be burping throughout the
John C Dvorak: whole burping within a minute. So
Adam Curry: this is episode 1700 we have a special promotion to
become a Commodore. And a lot of people go ahead,
John C Dvorak: I was gonna say, and we should mention that the
next show is 1701 which is the Star Trek Enterprise number,
yes, I have all kinds. So we want to continue this Commodore
promotion through that. And you can become Captain Kirk, or
whatever you want to be a Commodore. And
Adam Curry: the the actual certificate for Commodore is
very pretty. It has a seal and a ribbon and everything. And you
can name yourself whatever Commodore you want. Some
frameable. It's very frameable. Someone told me that the Church
of Scientology has Commodores. I
John C Dvorak: didn't know that. Yeah, but to but I want to tell
people, because there's a guy who came in, well, you know,
here's what I want to be, Commodore, this and that. No,
you have to go to the ring site. No agenda. Rings. Calm. Okay,
that's weird, because Jay says, Look, I'm not going to take
these different and then misspell someone's name is you
put it in there. There's a form to fill out. Yeah, she loves
these forms. Yes, she's a former. She's a former. And so

Commodore form.
Adam Curry: Yes. So we have a number of Commodores. We have a
number of notes. If you had missed it, this is the no agenda
show, which runs value for value. I checked earlier we had
2090 trolls in the in the troll room, which you're gonna say is
low,
John C Dvorak: not for Thursday. It's
Adam Curry: good for. Thursday. Well, you know, that's why there
was so much. 50
John C Dvorak: is the average for Thursday. Oh, good. We
Adam Curry: got extra trolls here. That's good. We should
probably, well, we already counted them. Oh, see, I'm all
I'm all out of whack. Now you can join them by joining the
troll room@trollroom.io and, of course, using a modern podcast
app at podcast apps.com you get alerted when it's time. And this
is all part of my, part of my award, because I'm an influencer
in podcasting, yeah, how? So we run it on value for value, and
we love doing these near the end of the year. This is, this is
actually special, because episode 1700 our 17th
anniversary is coming up this month. Four more years, we'll
keep going for you our fifth presidential cycle, and it's all
value for value, which means you return to the show, whatever you
get out of it, just send it back. Any value, any amount. We
always like to read our executive and Associate
Executive producers. It's $200 and above your Associate
Executive Producer, real title that you can use anywhere.
Credits are recognized, including imdb.com, $300 and
above, you become an executive producer. Before we do that, we
want to thank some of our time and talent producers, of which
we have many throughout the years, have done many things,
including that very troll room, the servers, the
noagendashow.net, no agenda meetups.com. No agenda.
Artgenerator.com, and we want to thank our artists for Episode
1699, and that was from Dame Kenny Benn back on back on the
stick. And she brought us the no agenda dog flower, which we
thought was very cute, really funny. And let's see we there
were some other things that that we will definitely
John C Dvorak: bug things like to eat more beef from clip
custodian, I wanted to discuss it to take off on the cow that
says, Eat more beef, and he's got a sign that he holds up this
to eat more beef is too small. It's not dispelled enough.
There's issues with it. So that's that was a rejected, uh,
Adam Curry: although it was in the running for a moment, for
just a moment, it was discussed just a moment. Is just a moment.
Uh, food of the future from Darren O'Neill. I thought comic
strip bloggers, bug on a fork was funny, but it was obviously
lewd, because the the fork goes right up his butt.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, it's not good. No, that'll end with the P
Diddy stuff.
Adam Curry: Yeah, I guess so. Food with the future. No, I
think that was kind of it. Dame Kenny Ben, you took it was good.
No agenda Art Generator, where you can see all of the artwork
that is submitted. Of course, if you're using one of those modern
podcast apps, Dr Scott always uses other pieces for the
chapter art. It's fun. It's fun to to listen and look along as
those as those images change right before your very eyes. Now
let us thank our producers. Some of them, many of them actually
become Commodores. Some nights we have some title changes, and
we'll start off with Brennan Keller. And Brennan. Keller is
in Perrysburg, Ohio, $1,005 which is very generous indeed.
ITM gents. I'm a recent listener of the show. I went down a
rabbit hole after trying to figure out what the hell Kevin
Rose was doing these days. Okay, things I don't think of, wait,
we know what. We know what he's doing,
John C Dvorak: ketamine? Yeah, he's
Adam Curry: doing ketamine videos. I watched too much Tech
TV as a kid. I watched the video where he talking to another old
host of the screensavers, who brought up the legendary John C
Dvorak, someone I enjoyed watching after school. Back in
the day, I started searching and found the greatest podcast in
the universe. This is proof that John doesn't need to do
interviews to get attention to the show. That's true. Anyway, I
want to split this contribution in two, all right, one to earn a
Commodore title myself, Commodore Brennan of the glass
city, and also for Commodore Bubba of the Maumee Valley, as
it was his birthday last week, and this show is now our Oh, and
he was the first person I told about how awesome the show is,
and now our messages are 90% about the show. Well, it does
happen. I would love a dedushing for both of us.
Unknown: You've been deduced over time
Adam Curry: restraints. You have to use both of that and baby
making karma for myself. You got it. No problem.

speakers. So langlack didn't happen, by the way, long means,
parish of the Holy Mary in the valley of the white Hazel at the
rapid Maelstrom, and the parish of the Holy tisilio at the red
cave. I'm glad for that information with my no agenda.
John C Dvorak: So you wonder why the Welsh language never really
took off. You know
Adam Curry: what my instructor said in the UK when he was
teaching me how to fly? He said, Whatever happens, even if your
engine is on fire, you do not land in Wales with my no agenda.
Commodore. Donation, I will reach Baron status. And if the
nobility committee pleases, I want the title Baron, Commodore
of the province of Utrecht, go to noagenderings.com and enter

who are not mentioned, bring your blades and have a fight

would say Florida Commodore, shiproom, 500 Hello, probably
Tavernier. Yeah, you're right. Hello. My favorite truth
casters. I'm addicted to your show. Your perfectly miked
voices and the way you utterly destroy the evil M, 5m
Mockingbird assets into 1000s of pieces. JCD brought me here with
his grumpy tech humor. But Adam, you won me over instantly on the
first episode I listened when you said, I'll never stop using
the word retard. I laugh so loud, and have listened to every
episode since it's a retard donation. Anyway, I have a small
ask of you, Adam, would it be okay if I used AI for something
very important? I want to create a podcast of you reading the
Bible, the entire Bible. I can't think of any better voice that
would speak these powerful words into a modern audio format than
with full podcasting 2.0 compliance. If anyone wants to
team up on launching the Bible by Adam podcast into reality,
let's chat. I'm on Twitter at at Todd Moore, T, O, D, D, M, O, O,
R, E. I really like the idea, because I want to read the Bible
every night, but I'm more of an audio consumer than a book
reader, and if Adam hates this idea, then I guess I'll use j,
c, D's voice, because I know that old grouch will appreciate
the attention. Thanks for your consideration, and God bless no
agenda. Todd Moore, white noise, Knight of the Florida Keys and
the no agenda, Commodore send me a sample. Well, they got to hear
it first. Thank you, Todd.
John C Dvorak: He's got a threat in there.
Adam Curry: Yes, if I don't like it, then he's going to use your
voice, which is very Can you

the 1000s of producers have kept us sane. Thank you.
Adam Curry: So does this mean that Michael Lumpkins is on the
credit list for this, or we just get the Commodore ship? No, I
John C Dvorak: said switcheroo. It's got to be on the credit
list. He's going to be listed. Switcheroo. And then he can then
you could go to no agenda rings.com, and fill out the
Commodore form. Okay,
Adam Curry: switcheroo has been completed. Sir, prime doctor of
illuminated thinking in saccaine, Pennsylvania, I think

2012 in Afghanistan, or as we say, Afghanistan, the two of you
are my one source of media that seems to always be reaching into
the past, helping me with working on longer term recall on
air requests. Can we hear Helen Thomas, about 14 years ago,
telling us the Jew needs to get out of the Middle East and
return to Europe? I look for it if we don't have it.
Unknown: Wow, I will.
John C Dvorak: Fall in. Thomas was an interesting battle
Adam Curry: accident, yeah, and she died right after that. That
was during the Obama member, I have to say, remember, I keep
saying member? Remember she was in front of the the White House
press corps, the old bag, and then she said that, and then she
got deplatformed, one of the first people to get de
platformed. And then she died, like maybe a month or two after
that. It was all very, very
John C Dvorak: odd. That was very odd. Yes, I
Adam Curry: should have written in sooner, when the college
protests were still a thing, maybe an AI Helen Thomas isn't
too far off. Can we play the recording of John telling us
about firefighters having to hose each other down? Now we
don't have time for that today, but I'll put it in a future. End
of show mix. Those are, like, minute and a half things. Yeah,
they're too long, not as good as the fisting nut story, but I
don't think it's been played. We've got a lot of requests for
fisting nuts, and we play it often. A deducing,
Unknown: you've been deduced,
Adam Curry: and a, let me see, where is it? I could do this one
for you and a too close to truth. Fears freedom, anime
speech, thanks or anthrax. Old soldiers never die. They just
fade away. General MacArthur, fear is freedom,
Unknown: subjugation is liberation. Contradiction is
truth. Those are the facts of this world, and you will all
surrender to them. Surrender to them. There
you go. Plastic sphere is freedom

Adam Curry: it's a good start. Hey, there's Jackie green, the
famous Jackie Green from Orangeville, California. If you

famous Jackie green. Is the famous Jackie green? He has no
notes, so he gets a double up karma. You've got karma. I'm

us a little note every so often. Yeah, we'll hear from him, I'm
sure. Sir Sir Shug in commerce Washington. Know where that is,
but 333 must be east. 333 ITM gentlemen, congrats on 1700

Texas, Rob Carty, our constitutional lawyer, he sends
us a legal note, legal notice on legal paper. Donation number
four, hold for episode 1700 It was held ITM John and Adam.
Kindly hold this donation for of 217, for episode 1700 today, I
wish to advocate for getmo nation. 17 years is an
impressive run and reflects a hell of a community by all
involved, I move that you extend this mutual allegiance for four
more years. Here are some indisputable facts. One in year
one, no agenda will be old enough to vote. Oh, in one year,
no agenda will be old enough to vote. Good point in two years,
no agenda will surpass the median duration of American
marriages. A lawyer would know. In three years, no agenda will
outlive King Louis, the fifth of France. In four years, no agenda
can finally get hammered in public. To leave these
monumental milestones unachieved would be to shortchange not only
yourselves, but also the loyal community you've built. And I
dare say, the world, eventually, I hope to extend this advocacy
to all Texas and California producers we help with
litigation and compliance issues. I also help lawyers
across the USA with appeals and complex briefs. Check me out at
Rob dot lawyer, yes, that's the URL. Rob dot lawyer, I'm working
to protect Gitmo nation. I respectfully request my usual

sweet. And this is another foodie tip, foodie tip. So if
you buy, I buy these hot chilies from the Hmong at the farmer's
market, usually on Saturday, and they have various heat but the
Thai chilies, which they like to grow and cross breed with all
kinds of other chilies. These Thai chilies, if anyone's had
them, they're small and they're thin skinned, as opposed to a a
meaty chili, like, let's say, a jalapeno, which is a very meaty,
a lot of very meaty, meaty, meaty, meaty and there and even
the eye to me, the serenio peppers also mean these little,
these little thin. And skin Thai chilies. You can buy them
whatever you pray for them. You're always paying. You know,
they're pretty expensive, but generally speaking, without
exception, they will keep in the freezer for decades. You freeze
them and they're good forever.
Adam Curry: Have you tested this yourself.
John C Dvorak: Oh yeah, I've got some from five years ago. Okay,
Adam Curry: I want you to eat one on the on the next show. I

Bag: we've talked a bit about the biological side, but we
still haven't nailed down what that monkey taint actually
smells like.
Adam Curry: What does monkey taint smell
Unknown: like?
Bag: It's a question about a smell
John C Dvorak: says, oh, that's the greatest. And the rest of it
is all shows, all theater, fireworks.
Unknown: So I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen
it look the NRA. I was the NRA guy for a long time. They used
to teach gun safety, common
sense wisdom. So
I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests.
Went in, and from that I learned a lot. Just
got to get back to common sense, economic principles. So
those of you out there listening tonight, you're hearing a lot of
stuff back and forth, and it's good, it's healthy. That's what
this is supposed to happen. You should be listening. How is this
going to impact me? I
was raised in a working class family. Now, look,
my community knows who I am.
Let's just say that's true, just for the sake of argument. So
we're not arguing about Weird Science. Let's just say that's
true. From Bernie Sanders to
Dick Cheney to Taylor Swift and a whole bunch of folks in
between to have the
endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard. I've
tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and I'm a
knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that.
I grew up in a working class family in a neighborhood where I
knew a lot of young women. I don't think
we could be the frog in the frog in the pot and let the boiling
water go up. We
just got to get back to common sense, economic principle. Let's
be clear where we're at on this. It's because we got out of an
imbalance on this. You've got to play Whack a Mole. This thing
roared onto the scene faster and stronger than anything we've
seen. My community knows who I am. They saw where I was at.
Look, I will be the first to tell you I have poured my heart
into my community. Gun violence
is now the number one cause of the
death of children in America. So I've become friends with school
shooters, not car
accidents, not cancer. Gun violence the number one cause of
death for the
children of America. So I've become friends with school
shooters, and
this is the result of many, many issues, including mass shootings
and school shootings that are too frequently occurring in our
nation.
Poured my heart into my community. So
I've become friends with school shooters.
Poured my heart into my community. I've
become friends with school shooters, and I believe we need
to reinstate the assault weapons ban.
And universal background
checks, vorac.org/n,
a holy moly, a great show you.
